Chapter 078 The General of Luyuan Gate is Zhang Liao?
Whoosh~~~
A cloud-piercing arrow exploded.
After hearing the news, the Xiliang rangers from all directions rushed to gather.
In the wilderness, more than ten cavalrymen were running in front, followed by more than a hundred cavalrymen in pursuit.
"Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today."
The leader glanced back at his pursuers, then turned to Yuan Ji.
"Damn it!"
Yuan Ji cursed secretly, the anger in his heart burning: "These Xiliang thieves are like vicious dogs, biting and refusing to let go. If we delay any longer, the number of pursuers will only increase."
Heluo is a basin.
Except for the surrounding mountains, the interior is all plain.
Now, Yuan Ji, escorted by everyone, wants to break through the pass and escape from Luoyang.
But he never thought that Dong Zhuo would send rangers to surround the entire Luoyang while heavily guarding the southern suburbs of Jitian. Yuan Ji still can't understand such an unreasonable deployment.
sad!
What a shame!
My uncle gathered all the dead soldiers in the house and planned today's escape plan. However, some rangers would completely disrupt the rhythm and possibly expose himself.
what to do?
Yuan Ji was hesitant in his heart.
My uncle once said that no matter when or where, the Yuan family should not be exposed. He was not present the first two times, so he could completely justify it. But what if he was caught red-handed this time?
"You two stop the one on the left."
"You two go to the right."
"Stop the Xiliang thieves at all costs."
"..."
The commander of the dead soldiers beside him, Yuan Zhang, continued to direct the battle.
but......
Yuan Ji knew very well that with the men in his hands, it was impossible to stop the rangers behind him.
Moreover, now that Xiliang Xiaoqi has fired a resounding arrow, a steady stream of soldiers and horses will come to support him.
There is only one way waiting for them!
Dead end!
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Think of a solution quickly!"
Yuan Zhang's voice rang in my ears.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Yuan Ji's mind, and he turned to look at Yuan Zhang: "You kidnapped me!"
Yuan Zhang's eyes widened: "Sir, what do you mean?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and hijack me."
"But......"
"It's nothing! Just do as I say."
"Here!"
Yuan Zhang pulled Yuan Ji onto his horse and tied Yuan Ji's hands with the hemp rope under the saddle: "Sir, is this okay?"
Yuan Ji was lying on his back on the horse, his lower abdomen was aching from the jolting horse: "This is all we can do for the time being."
Since he can't leave, Yuan Ji can only find a way to make up for it, and he must not let the secret be leaked.
He endured the severe pain in his abdomen and looked up at Yuan Zhang: "You are a dead soldier and rarely show your face. They will definitely not recognize you. Once the Xiliang soldiers catch up, you will pretend to be a kidnapper and prepare to ask for some ransom.
Do you remember?"
Yuan Zhang nodded: "I know, but is this okay?"
Yuan Ji glanced at the Xiliang soldiers behind him: "As long as you don't expose the Yuan family, you can't care so much."

Magpie Village.
Deng Zhan bowed and held up his hands: "Nanyang Deng Zhan, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Hongnong."
Liu Bian helped the other party up with his own hands: "Please get up quickly, is the caravan ready?"
"Yes." Deng Zhan nodded, "I'm ready, but the situation has changed. I suggest that we set off again tomorrow."
Liu Bian frowned slightly: "But because of the rangers on the periphery?"
"This is just one of them."
Deng Zhan let out a long breath.
"oh?"
Liu Bian wondered: "Could there be another accident?"
Deng Zhan sighed and said, "The guard general of Shenyuan Pass has changed. He was temporarily replaced by a guy named Zhang Liao. I heard that this person is from Bingzhou. He is selfless and loyal to his duties. I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to work together due to our previous relationship."
"Zhang Liao?"
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment.
He was very familiar with this name.
In the novel, the fierce general of Cao Wei who was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin that he almost killed Sun Shiwan.
Unexpectedly, this boy would actually become the guard of Shenyuan Pass and block his way.
At the same time, when the name "Zhang Liao" rang out, netizens in the live broadcast room also went crazy:
"Damn it! Finally a strong general I am familiar with has appeared. I heard that Zhang Liao is good at both civil and military skills, right?"
"Is he the powerful general who is so famous in Xiaoyaojin? The most powerful general under Lu Bu's command?"
"Damn! Zhang Liao, it's actually Zhang Liao!"
"Zhang Liao is the guard of Shenyuan Pass, it's really a terrible rhythm."
"Yes, this boy is not easy to fool."
"Isn't this too coincidental?"
"..."
While netizens in the live broadcast room were talking a lot, the Military Advisor Alliance also spoke up: "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, Zhang Liao is indeed difficult to deal with, and his actions are steady and flawless."
"but......"
The words changed, and the Military Advisor Alliance emphasized: "Master Bian, don't forget, he was temporarily transferred here. Today is the winter festival, and he will not be able to attend important scenes at all. This proves that he is in a difficult situation and belongs to the unpopular group.
kind."
"That makes sense."
Liu Bian nodded with interest: "Teacher, continue the analysis."
The Military Advisor Alliance continued: "Just now, experts from the history department of the alliance said that Zhang Liao was actually not one of Lu Bu's men. He was originally a soldier of the general He Jin. He was sent to recruit soldiers and horses. After he came back, He Jin died."
"Zhang Liao was forced to be recruited by Lu Bu, but it is obvious that he was transferred to Shenyuan Pass to guard duty today, which shows that Zhang Liao's current situation is not very good."
"This may be a breakthrough for Mr. Bian. Even if he has to reveal his identity, Mr. Bian can still play the emotional card and try to recruit Zhang Liao for his own use."
Hiss~~~
Liu Bian took a breath: "Is it possible to recruit Zhang Liao?"
The Military Advisor Alliance replied: "Of course, this step is too dangerous and should never be used except as a last resort, but theoretically, there is indeed a slight possibility."
That's right.
Zhang Liao was originally He Jin's man.
In a sense, he belongs to He Jin's legacy.
Now that he had no choice but to surrender to Lu Bu, how could Lu Bu regard him as a confidant?
This can be judged from the fact that Zhang Liao was assigned to be on duty at Shenyuan Pass on the Winter Festival.
From a purely theoretical perspective, it is indeed possible for Zhang Liao to surrender to him.
certainly!
It's just possible.
After all, he has nothing but his identity as King Hongnong.
There are plenty of opportunities for others to pursue, so why should they endure hardships and hardships?
"I see."
Liu Bian had a thought in his mind and turned to Deng Zhan: "Well, the situation you are considering is indeed an accident. Let's take a break and observe it for two days. If it doesn't work, we can only act according to the original plan."
"clear."
Deng Zhan nodded and bowed his hands: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Liu Bian raised the corners of his lips slightly and broke into a faint smile: "No, you are right. Since it is right, how can you not accept it?"
Deng Zhan's anxious heart was finally relieved. This was the first time he met a member of the royal family. He was not as arrogant or domineering as he had imagined, but instead was reasonable and approachable.
"Oh right."
Liu Bian suddenly heard something: "Where are you from Nanyang?"
Deng Zhan replied: "Xinye."
"Xinye? Who are you, Deng Yu, the leader of Yuntai's twenty-eight generals?"
