Chapter 319 Good generals return, former suspects released
Chapter 319: A good general returns and former suspicions are cleared
"What are you doing here? Why don't you get out of the way?" Zhang Liao shouted.
The tigers and leopards blocking the road still refused to give way, and more and more people were still coming around. Every face was filled with anger, and their eyes were flashing with hatred.
A chill ran across Zhang Liao's back, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
"I ordered you to get out of the way, you dare to disobey the military order!" Zhang Liao shouted angrily again, trying to use military power to suppress these subordinates.
What responded to him was an increasingly intense suspicion and resentment.
One of them said coldly: "You shameless traitor, you killed my family and the general, and you still dare to dominate us!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Liao was shocked and suddenly realized.
Only then did he understand why Yan Liang suddenly said those incomprehensible words.
That was simply Yan Liang's deliberate attempt to alienate people.
Although Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief of this army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always been in charge of Cao Chun. In the eyes of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun is their natural leader.
Yan Liang's previous estrangement plan had already caused Cao Chun to quarrel with himself, which also made his subordinates suspicious of Zhang Liao.
However, with Cao Chun's death in battle, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were leaderless, and they could only harbor suspicion and continue to obey Zhang Liao's command.
The chatting and laughing meeting between Yan Liang and Zhang Liao just now had already aggravated the suspicions of the Tiger and Leopard Riders, and when Yan Liang deliberately said loudly that Cao Chun was killed by Zhang Liao, it instantly ignited their accumulated suspicions and turned them into ashes.
Angry fire of vengeance.
At this moment, these tiger and leopard cavalry had decided that Zhang Liao was a traitor, which resulted in the failure of the breakout a few days ago and the death of their general Cao Chun.
"This Yan Liang is really scheming. I didn't expect that I would fall into his divorce plan again..."
When Zhang Liao came to his senses, it was too late. Hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry had already surrounded him. Looking at their angry formation, they seemed to be planning to attack him.
Zhang Liao was surprised, but also a little angry, and shouted sternly: "You have all fallen into Yan Liang's alienation plan. You all use your brains to think about how I could betray the prime minister, let alone kill Cao Zi and the general."
"You were originally Lu Bu's subordinate. If you can betray Lu Bu, why can't you betray Prime Minister Cao?"
A deep rhetorical question immediately pushed back Zhang Liao's excuse. Hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry shouted in agreement, and everyone completely did not believe Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was also angry and said angrily: "I am commanding you under the authority of the Prime Minister. If you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
With a long sword slashed across the sword, a powerful killing force emerged.
The expressions of the tiger and leopard riders were shocked, as if they were frightened by Zhang Liao's power.
But then, one of them cursed: "You betrayed the Prime Minister, how can we listen to you again? Brothers, kill this traitor and avenge your son and the general -"
Someone took the lead in instigating this, and everyone's anger was immediately ignited. Hundreds of people rushed forward, shouting and killing Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was shocked. He didn't expect that these soldiers actually dared to "rebellion". Seeing the soldiers coming to attack them, he didn't have time to defend himself and raised his sword to meet them.
So, a group of Cao's troops riding on tigers and leopards started fighting with their general in the narrow terrain at the city gate.
Although the tiger and leopard cavalry are all brave men, Zhang Liao's martial arts skills are among the best in the world. If he really had the intention to kill, how could these unknown soldiers be his opponents.
It's just that he didn't want to kill his own people, so he was a little merciful in his attacks, only hurting people without killing. But the group of tiger and leopard cavalry didn't care about this. They attacked with swords and guns with all their strength, and everyone was crazy.
Want his life.
One after another, Zhang Liao was overwhelmed by these stupid tiger and leopard riders in a short time, forcing him to block left and dodge right, struggling to cope.
"Listen to me, you have fallen into Yan Liang's scheme, stop now -"
When facing the challenge, Zhang Liao shouted anxiously.
Those tiger and leopard knights, however, had long been blinded by anger and were only focused on avenging Cao Chun. They could not hear even a single word from Zhang Liao.
"Quickly, close the city gate, don't let this traitor escape!"
During the fierce battle, someone shouted such a loud voice, and several tiger and leopard riders rushed to the city gate and were about to close the gate.
At this time, Zhang Liao knew that he had no way to retreat.
Once the city gate is closed, he will have nowhere to go. Either he will go on a killing spree and kill all these idiots, or he will be surrounded by tigers and leopards.
A critical moment.
Seeing that the city gate was about to creak shut, Zhang Liao had no choice. He immediately attacked with several swords, shook off the surrounding enemies, and rushed out towards the city gate.
"Don't let him escape, stop him quickly."
Amid the shouts, the two tiger and leopard riders at the city gate waved their swords and came to stop him.
Zhang Liao was also angered by their aggressiveness. Murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He drew out his long sword and fired his bow from left to right like lightning.
Amidst the screams, the two tiger and leopard riders who were blocking the road were chopped off their horses. Zhang Liao rode as fast as he could and rushed out before the gate closed.
After running out of the city gate, there was a defensive moat in front of him. Zhang Liao did not hold back and clamped the horse's belly several times. Using the momentum, one man and one rider flew up and jumped over the moat.
The tigers and leopards in the city did not dare to chase them out. They rushed to the top of the city one after another and could only shoot with bows and crossbows.
Zhang Liao did not dare to look back. He waved his sword to deflect the incoming arrows while riding alone in embarrassment towards Yan Ying.
When Zhang Liao ran away from the city, Yan Liang had been waiting for him for a long time with a long sword in his arms.
Seeing Zhang Liao coming on horseback, a smile appeared on Yan Liang's lips.
When Lu Lingqi and the rest of the tribe next to them saw this scene, they were all shocked, and they all marveled at Yan Liang's judgment.
"Brother, this Liao, he...he is really..." Lu Lingqi was in astonishment and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yan Liang said calmly: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all direct descendants of Cao Chun. Zhang Liao is suspected by them. What other choice does he have except leaving the city to join the general?"
Everyone suddenly realized that Yan Liang had once again resorted to a plan to alienate each other when they met alone.
Seeing Zhang Liao coming from behind, Yan Liang took a few steps forward on his horse and laughed loudly: "Wen Yuan is so slow to come. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Looking at Yan Liang with a confident face, Zhang Liao felt extremely complicated.
On the one hand, he admired Yan Liang's resourcefulness, but he forced himself into a corner in just a few words. On the other hand, he had some resentment towards Yan Liang, secretly complaining that Yan Liang had forced him into such an embarrassing situation.
.
At that moment, he reined in his horse and sighed bitterly: "General Yan, you have caused great harm to Zhang."
Yan Liang smiled and said: "The bitterness comes first before the sweetness comes. If I don't implement this strategy, how can I get you Wenyuan to come and submit? If you don't come and submit, Wenyuan, how can you help me achieve great things, and how can you be remembered in history?"
, enjoy the glory and wealth.”
Famous in history, prosperous and wealthy!
The heroes in the world fight back and forth, and what they fight for is these eight words.
At this time, Zhang Liao was in a daze for a moment, but suddenly felt relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Previously, he still had a choice, but now, the tiger and leopard cavalry have cut off all his other escape routes, leaving him with only one way to choose. Instead, his eyes suddenly become clearer.
After all the hesitation, Zhang Liao took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps to Yan Liang, raised his hands and bowed deeply.
"Thanks to the general's appreciation, Liao is willing to submit to the general and do the work of dogs and horses."
Zhang Liao, a famous general in the world and the leader of the five good generals, has finally bowed under his command.
Yan Liang was overjoyed to have a general who could control the entire army, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Overjoyed, Yan Liang immediately jumped off his horse, quickly helped Zhang Liao up, caressed Qi's shoulders, and laughed loudly: "With a good general like Wenyuan, I will be like a tiger with wings. Why worry about failing to achieve our great cause? Let's go."
Let’s go back to camp, I’m going to drink three hundred cups with Wenyuan.”
Yan Liang's forthrightness and kindness made Zhang Liao feel at ease, and he readily accepted the challenge.
He got on his horse and the two of them rode side by side. When passing by Lu Lingqi, Zhang Liao looked a little ashamed and said "Miss" while cupping his hands.
Lu Lingqi only followed Yan Liang's orders, but now that she saw that Yan Liang valued Zhang Liao so much, what else could she say.
She waved her hand and said with a flat mouth: "That's all, for the sake of you abandoning the dark and turning to the light and surrendering to my sworn brother, a hero, I won't argue with you about the past. From now on, you only need to help my sworn brother wholeheartedly."
That’s it.”
After receiving Lu Lingqi's release, Zhang Liao's remaining worries disappeared and he felt even more relieved.
So Yan Liang took his close tiger general back to the camp in high spirits, held a banquet, and personally welcomed him.
Most of the generals under Yan Liang's command, such as Wen Chou and Huang Zhong, were surrendered generals, and most of them were heroic men who cherished heroes. Naturally, they welcomed Zhang Liao's surrender.
Yan Liang then drank happily with all the generals, firstly to welcome Zhang Liao's surrender, and secondly to celebrate his success in repelling Cao Cao, a powerful enemy.
…
By the time the banquet was over, night had fallen.
In the back tent, the attendants had already prepared a large basin of hot water. Yan Liang stripped himself naked a few times and lay down comfortably in the basin.
Since this month, Yan Liang's body and mind have been devoted to the war. Today, Cao Cao has retreated, and he has gained a good general from Zhang Liao. Yan Liang is finally relieved and has a good rest.
Relaxing his body and mind, and the warm hot water washed away his fatigue, Yan Liang lay in the basin and had already begun to conceive of his next strategy.
Unconsciously, he dozed off in a daze.
Not long after, while sleeping, I vaguely felt a pair of gentle hands caressing my shoulders.
Yan Liang woke up from his dream, looked back, and dimly saw Ma Yunlu looking at him with a smile.
"Madam, when did you come?" Yan Liang asked happily.
Ma Yunlu pouted, "Of course I just arrived, so I hurried and hurried slowly, but I was still a step late and missed a big battle."
Although she described it as charming, there was a bit of resentment in her tone.
Previously, Yan Liang knew that Cao Cao was not comparable to Yuan Tan, and fighting against him would be more dangerous. Yan Liang was afraid that Ma Yunlu would make mistakes in the battle, so he sent her away from the battlefield on the pretext of letting her go to Wancheng to escort grain and grass.
Now that he has missed a crucial battle, Ma Yunlu naturally feels a little regretful.
Yan Liang stretched out his hands, hugged her waist tightly, and said with a smile: "Madam, why should you be disappointed? Although I missed the battle with Cao Jun, my husband will fight with me for 300 rounds. I will definitely let you fight, madam."
