"Open the door!" After hesitating again and again, Sun Ce still couldn't just sit back and watch his brother being hurt. He gritted his teeth and ordered, asking the Sun Wu soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate.
Seeing the city gate slowly opening, Zhang Liao and others were all happy, and they were immediately ready to leave the city. But just as they were taking steps, Zhou Yu, who was behind Sun Ce, suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "
Wait!"
The surrounding Sun Wu officers and soldiers were tensed up. With Zhou Yu's shout, all the arrows in the archers' hands were pointed at Zhang Liao and others at the city gate. The sword and ax soldiers also drew out their sabers one after another.
, looking at the target with murderous intent. As a result, Zhang Liao and others really did not dare to go any further. Zhang Liao's heart sank, so he simply lifted Sun Yi in front of him, and with a single slip of the knife in his hand, the blade
It was pressed tightly against Sun Yi's neck. Zhang Liao stared at Zhou Yu and shouted: "Do you really not want his life anymore?"
Sun Ce was also surprised. Originally, in order to save Sun Yi's life, Sun Ce was ready to release all these people, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu, whom he trusted the most, suddenly intervened. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with a face full of surprise.
Asked: "Gong Jin? You, why are you doing this?"
Seeing that Zhang Liao and others were stopped from leaving, Zhou Yu quickly explained to Sun Ce: "My lord! If they can let Shu Bi go, it doesn't matter if my lord lets them leave! But I'm afraid that even after my lord lets them out of the city, they still won't let them go."
Shubi!"
"Uh!" Sun Ce then realized, yes! If they all leave the city, then he would not be any threat to them. If they refused to let Sun Yi go, what could he do to them? Only then did Sun Ce
With a look of realization on his face, he shouted to the soldier in charge of the city gate: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Close the door! Close the door! We can't let them leave like this!"
The Sun Wu soldiers also looked helpless. They had no choice but to carry out the order. So they honestly prepared to close the city gate. At this level, Zhang Liao and others were defeated.
He was desperate, seeing that there was hope of escape, how could he just watch it disappear? Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "Stop! Do you still want his life? Open the city gate!"
As soon as we leave the city gate, let him go! We will never break our promise!"
"Stop!" Zhou Yu was no longer anxious at this time. With a wave of his hand, he stopped the soldiers who were about to close the city gate. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao and sneered: "Never break your promise? You don't even know your own name."
If you dare to speak out, why should we believe what you say?"
When Zhou Yu said this, Zhang Liao was stunned for a long time, but was speechless. Zhou Yu's words hit the point. The mission that Zhang Liao and the others carried out this time could not expose their identities at all, so from the beginning
, Zhang Liao and the others did not report their names. Now that Zhou Yu was talking about this, Zhang Liao really had no way to refute. But Liu Pi, who was beside him, reacted quickly and snorted: "It seems that the only thing in front of you now is
There are two ways! Either you believe us and let us out of the city, or you don’t believe us and we kill him! Everyone breaks up!"
"Wait a minute, do it!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, but stared at Zhang Liao calmly. He had gradually regained his composure, and in his heart he had actually determined that these people in front of him were the troops of the Western Qin Dynasty, and those who could compete with Sun Ce
The general must be Zhang Liao, the general of the Western Qin Dynasty! But the other party refused to admit it, and he had no real evidence, so he could only let the other party pretend like this. He secretly figured out the purpose of the other party coming to Xiangcheng alone, but his face was full of confusion.
No traces were revealed, and he said in a deep voice: "Several heroes! Although we take into account the safety of Wu Hou's brother, we can't just let you leave! We can only come up with a best-of-two-pronged method that can allow all heroes to leave safely.
, and can save the life of Wu Hou’s younger brother! How about that?”
"Hmph!" Although both Zhang Liao and Liu Pi are considered careful people, after all, they are both warriors who wield swords and guns. When it comes to talking skills, how can they be Zhou Yu's opponents? When Zhou Yu said this, they were speechless.
In response, Zhang Liao could only snort coldly, and Zhang Liao held Sun Yi's neck and shouted: "I don't care about that much! In one sentence! Can't you open the city gate?"
Zhou Yu smiled. Of course, he would not expect that he could convince these people with just a few words. To be sent here by Western Qin to do such dangerous things, these people must be determined people. What Zhou Yu just said was just
It was just to stabilize them. Then, Zhou Yu said seriously: "Wait! What a hero! I have a plan! We can open the city gate and let you leave! But you must leave one person behind, with Wu Hou's younger brother. This way
Only then can we let you leave with peace of mind! But don’t worry, as long as we can ensure the safety of Wu Hou’s younger brother, we will let the remaining hero go as well, how about that?”
"Okay!" Zhou Yu's suggestion sounded reasonable. Zhang Liao immediately agreed without saying a word and shouted directly to Liu Pi and others beside him: "Old Liu! Old Gong! Old Pei! You and your brothers will go first.
Let’s go! I’ll stay!”
"No!" As soon as Zhang Liao said this, Liu Pi, Gong Du and Pei Yuanshao shouted in unison. None of them were stupid. They knew that the one who stayed behind must be the most dangerous. Liu Pi immediately shouted: "
Wenyuan! You take the brothers away! I'll stay!"
Zhang Liao's eyes widened and he snorted: "What nonsense! Which of you is as skilled as me? Of course, it is the best choice for me to stay! Let's go quickly!"
To be fair, among all the people, it is probably the most reasonable for Zhang Liao to stay. After all, Zhang Liao is also a master of the generation. If he stays, even if there is any accident, his chance of escaping is better than others. But Liu Pi and the other three cannot just do this.
Leave Zhang Liao to escape alone. Zhang Liao is a fierce general under Luo Yang. In comparison, Zhang Liao's life is more important than the three of them combined!
However, Zhang Liao didn't give them a chance to talk. He directly took Sun Yi forward and shouted to Zhou Yu: "I'll stay! Let my brothers go!" By now, he had seen through this.
Zhou Yu is the most important person. As long as he agrees, Sun Ce will also agree!
Zhou Yu seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Liao's choice, nodding his head and saying: "That's very good! Come here! Open the city gate and send a few heroes away!" After saying that, Zhou Yu stared at Zhang Liao closely, and those little characters left.
It doesn't matter at all. As long as Zhang Liao stays, there will be no problem! Zhang Liao's decision has actually been planned by Zhou Yu for a long time. Zhou Yu has already calculated it before, and Zhang Liao will definitely decide to stay by himself, so
That's why he did what he did just now.
Zhou Yu spoke, but Sun Ce had no intention of objecting, and the city gate was finally opened again. Seeing Zhang Liao's resolute attitude, Liu Pi and others did not dare to delay any longer, and were worried that something might change later, so they could only lead the way.
Following a group of Western Qin troops, he cautiously walked towards the outside of the city. And Zhang Liao was not stupid. When he saw Liu Pi and others leaving, wouldn't he be defenseless behind him? So he looked around cautiously and took a few steps back.
.
At this time, all the archers around were aiming their arrows at Zhang Liao. It can be said that as long as Zhang Liao showed a slight flaw, someone would definitely release an arrow to save Sun Yi. For a moment, the atmosphere in the open space in front of the city gate was abnormal.
Nervous, everyone held their breath and did not dare to relax at all. Zhang Liao dragged Sun Yi in his hand and stepped back step by step. Seeing that he was about to reach the arch of the city gate, Zhang Liao stopped because
He knew that this was the limit of what he could go, and the other party would definitely not allow him to take another step back. Zhang Liao did not dare to look back, so he shouted loudly: "Old Liu! You guys go quickly! Go quickly!"
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind getting farther and farther, Zhang Liao felt relieved. As long as his brothers could escape, there would be no pressure on Zhang Liao's heart. But at this moment, someone suddenly stretched out from behind Zhang Liao.
He raised a hand, directly grasped the single sword in Zhang Liao's hand, and pushed Zhang Liao to the side!
Zhang Liao's attention was all focused on Zhou Yu and others in front, and he was completely unprepared for what was behind him. Although he was yelling that something was wrong after being pushed by the opponent, he could only stagger back three steps before regaining his balance.
Just when he was about to turn around and fight back, Zhang Liao was stunned. Looking at the person who had snatched his single sword, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lao Pei?"
The person who grabbed Zhang Liao's sword was Pei Yuanshao who came with Zhang Liao! However, after grabbing the sword, Pei Yuanshao immediately put the sword on Sun Yi's neck again and shouted: "Wenyuan! Let's go!
I stayed!"
"No!" Zhang Liao was going crazy. He didn't expect that Pei Yuanshao would suddenly take action. Now that Sun Yi was in Pei Yuanshao's hands and surrounded by enemies who were eyeing him, he didn't dare to step forward and grab it. Don't be careful.
This allowed the enemy to take advantage of the loophole. However, Zhang Liao did not give up and shouted at Pei Yuanshao: "Old Pei! What the hell are you doing! Didn't we agree that I will stay? Give me the hostage and leave as soon as possible!"
"No!" Zhang Liao underestimated Pei Yuanshao's stubbornness. Pei Yuanshao simply pulled Sun Yi back several steps, but instead of retreating outside the city, he directly pressed his back against the city wall and lifted Sun Yi up.
In front of him, he blocked his body and shouted: "Wenyuan! Let's go! This matter originated from me! Of course it should be solved by me! Let's go!"
Pei Yuanshao was determined. Zhang Liao had no choice but to leave it to him. He turned his head and glared at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fiercely, shouting: "Listen! If anything happens to my brother! Everyone in the Sun family!"
Everyone must pay for my brother's life! Old Pei! Be careful!" After saying that, Zhang Liao hugged Pei Yuanshao and rushed out of the city gate, fleeing with Liu Pi and others outside the city.
