The movements of Zhang Liao's army have always been monitored by Han army spies, so after Zhang Liao's army set up camp in Yancheng, Guan Yu in the Han army camp learned the news.

When he learned that Zhang Liao's army had arrived, Guan Yu immediately looked at Zhang Fei in the tent.

Seeing Guan Yu looking at him, Zhang Fei laughed knowingly, then led thousands of Han troops out of the Han army camp with spears in hand, and quickly headed towards Yancheng.

Because Guan Yu insisted on fighting this battle, and Liu Bei believed in Guan Yu's abilities, even though Liu Bei's imperial flag was still planted in the Han army camp, Liu Bei had returned to Xiangyang a few days ago.

Liu Bei handed over the command of nearly 60,000 Han troops to Guan Yu.

There was another reason why Liu Bei returned to Xiangyang.

The Han army led by Zhang Fei only numbered five thousand, and most of them were infantry.

Even if Zhang Fei had ten thousand enemies, he would not be able to defeat Zhang Liao's camp with only five thousand Han troops.

Therefore, Zhang Fei led five thousand Han troops to Zhang Liao's camp with only one purpose, which was to lure Zhang Liao's army out of the camp.

Zhang Fei has done many tasks like this in the past, and his success rate has always been very high.

When Zhang Fei led his army to Zhang Liao's camp, his arrival was quickly reported to Zhang Liao and other Wei generals in the camp by the Wei army's scouts.

Zhang Fei's arrival also attracted the attention of the Wei army generals who were discussing matters to him.

After all, Zhang Fei came right away, and he even went out of his way to have five thousand Han troops shouting for Zhang Liao to come out and die outside the camp.

The Han soldiers who can be favored by Zhang Fei may not have other abilities, but they must have a loud voice.

Because Yancheng was behind him, Zhang Liao specially placed his main tent on the outskirts of Yancheng.

What he thought was that if the Han army suddenly attacked the camp, he could respond more quickly. This was his confidence and confidence as a famous general in the world.

But even with his confidence and confidence, after encountering the 5,000-strong Han army, some things became natural.

For example, in the main tent not far from the Han army outside the camp, the generals of the Wei army could hear quite clearly the scolding and fighting sounds of the Han army outside the camp.

"Zhang Liao, son, come out quickly and die!"

"What Zhaohu is, he's just a bid-tender!"

"How can Zhang's fake son be so timid?"

...

The unpleasant words spread throughout Wei Jun's main tent, instantly making everyone's faces darken.

Among them, Zhang Liao, who was the main target of insults by the Han army, undoubtedly had the ugliest expression on his face.

This world is different from that of later generations. In this world where filial piety governs the world, parents are rarely insulted when scolding others.

Although insulting other people's parents is the most lethal way, some concepts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of people in the world, and many people will not easily use other people's parents as the target of insults.

Although we are in troubled times, the morality of the world has not completely collapsed.

But this does not mean that there are no other ways of scolding people in the world that can be as lethal as insulting parents.

For example, attacking a person's reputation.

Many methods of provoking generals that would not make people angry in the eyes of later generations often had miraculous effects in ancient times. The most fundamental reason is that the concepts of ancient people and modern people are different.

During the Three Kingdoms period, people valued reputation very much. In the eyes of many people, reputation was their life.

The insults led by Zhang Fei seemed innocuous on the surface, but in fact, each sentence turned into a sharp blade, stabbing Zhang Liao in the face.

Among the ministers of Cao and Wei, it is estimated that only a few people such as Jia Xu could endure this kind of humiliation. Anyway, Zhang Liao, who has always had a strong temperament, was definitely not among those people.

And Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief of an army. If the commander-in-chief's face is humiliated, it means the whole army is humiliated. Therefore, the faces of other Wei generals in the big tent also became very ugly.

Some impatient generals have come out to challenge Zhang Liao.

Most of the people who could follow Zhang Liao on the expedition were veteran generals. Zhang Fei's method was obviously a way to provoke generals, and everyone knew it.

But in ancient times, the method of provoking generals was often successful. One was that the ancients loved face, and the other was that those who provoked generals would appropriately reveal some flaws to lure the enemy.

From the perspective of the Wei generals in the main tent, it doesn't matter that Zhang Fei is using provocation to lure the enemy. After all, he currently leads only 5,000 Han troops, and his own troops are several times his.

In addition, there were no dense forests around Yancheng to hide the army, so some Wei generals asked for a battle with such indignation.

After hearing some of the generals' requests to fight, Zhang Liao still restrained his emotions, although he was very angry in his heart.

If he is just a general at this time, then his enthusiasm for fighting will only increase.

But now he is a commander-in-chief, and all his decisions are related to the life and death of his 30,000 troops, so he cannot be impulsive.

What's more, there are examples of Zhang He and Xu Huang out there. The bloody examples made Zhang Liao feel more awake.

It is true that most of Zhang Liao's past battles were about taking the lead and making extraordinary achievements repeatedly.

But the world only saw Zhang Liao's bravery and fearlessness in the battle, but ignored that he would go through precise planning every time before he was brave enough to die.

Only when Zhang Liao feels there is an opportunity, he, the tiger, will show his fangs without hesitation.

So when faced with the generals' invitation to fight, Zhang Liao chose to repel them.

Even out of sight and out of mind, he was not even in the mood to leave the camp to see Zhang Fei.

After Zhang Liao chose to turn a blind eye to Zhang Fei's scolding, the guard Du Xi also publicly expressed his support for this approach.

Because Du Xi represented Cao Pi to a certain extent, and Zhang Liao's prestige was very high, the generals of the Wei army who asked for a fight gradually gave up their intention to fight.

All the Wei generals, with deliberate restraint, acted as if they could not hear the bursts of insults coming from outside the camp.

They began to discuss matters again under the chairmanship of Zhang Liao.

The army has just arrived, and there are still many important things to discuss.

It was just that the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind was still blowing. Zhang Fei, who was outside the Wei army's camp, saw that Sanqianerlang behind him had been insulting him for a long time. The Wei army's camp in front of him was still as closed as a turtle shell.

He held the spear in his hand and rode the war horse around in front of the Wei army camp twice, tilting his leopard head and not knowing what he was thinking.

But not long after, Zhang Fei, who was always quick-witted, came up with another clever trick.

He once used a similar trick on Zhang He.

When he led an army of 10,000 to attack Danqu in a surprise attack, Zhang He, who was guarding Danqu at first, did not dare to be careless.

But after he used this clever move, Zhang He, no matter how steady he was, was so angry that he flew into a rage and actively attacked him.

Don't be afraid of old age, just know how to use it flexibly.

Because Zhang Fei already had a new plan in his mind, he ordered the five thousand Han soldiers behind him to stop insulting him temporarily, and then ordered his men to return to the camp to find a few actors and actresses.

Lingyou is an ancient actor.

Because entertainment activities were very scarce in ancient times, many dignitaries kept entertainers around them to relieve their worries and relieve their fatigue.

Even in the general propaganda and honor guard, there are people who work part-time as actors and actresses.

When Liu Bei left the camp a few days ago, Liu Bei followed Guan Yu's advice and left everything that could prove his identity in the Han army camp.

Liu Bei is the emperor, and he is accompanied by a propaganda team. The propaganda team is currently in the Han army camp.

While Zhang Fei was waiting for Ling You to arrive, General Wei in the tent heard that the insults outside the camp had stopped.

This scene made everyone in the big tent breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they sent people to detect that Zhang Fei had not left with his army, as long as Zhang Fei no longer made the Han army insult him, this would make them feel more stable.

It was not only the generals of the Wei army who felt this way, but even Zhang Liao.

After all, no matter how much you consider the overall situation, no one wants to be scolded.

In this rare quiet environment, the discussion process of the Wei army generals unknowingly sped up a lot.

It's just that the relaxing time is always short.

In order for Zhang Fei to bring Ling You as soon as possible, he sent back scouts from the army.

The scouts were extremely fast. After they successfully picked up a few actors and actresses when they returned to the camp, they hurried back to the Wei army's camp.

And the time spent going back and forth only took half an hour.

What was pitiful was the few actors who had never ridden a horse before. When the scouts brought them to Zhang Fei at an extremely fast speed, they all seemed a little dizzy after dismounting.

But after they heard the mission given to them by Zhang Fei, the eyes of the actors and actresses shone with light.

After the actors regained consciousness after a short rest, they began to rehearse aside.

After the rehearsal, they arrived in front of the Wei army's camp.

Although these actors knew that the enemy camp was ahead, there were five thousand Han troops and the world-famous Zhang Fei behind them.

Therefore, although there is tension in their hearts, there is not much fear.

After all, if you complete the task assigned by Zhang Fei, you may not die, but if you fail to complete it, you will definitely die.

Under the influence of this mentality, the few actors standing a hundred steps away from the Wei army camp began to perform their performances.

A play performed by these actors is called "White Gate Tower".

In this scene performed by several actors, some played the role of Lu Bu, some played the role of Chen Gong, some played the role of Gao Shun, and some played the role of Zhang Liao.

What this scene is about is that after Zhang Liao's old master Lu Bu was captured alive by Cao Cao in Baimen Tower, Chen Gong and Gao Shun followed Lu Bu without fear of death.

Only Zhang Liao knelt down and asked Cao Cao to surrender.
