King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 427

The great Han Yuzhou, Chenliu State's seat, and Chenliu City, saw a fast horse galloping under the top of the city, and the defenders on the top of the city had already shouted, "Come and stop!"

"Call your general!" The visitor yelled.

"Who are you?" asked the soldier at the head of the city.

"So-and-so is... so-and-so is Zhang Wenyuan from Yanmen!" The man hesitated and shouted.

"Ah? General Zhang Liao!" The soldier was startled. Seeing that Zhang Liao had arrived, he wanted to open the city gate immediately, but then he thought, that's wrong!Zhang Liao was captured by the Youliao army in Hebei, how could he be here.

"General Zhang! Why are you here?" the soldier asked.

"Go find your general!" Zhang Liao shouted.

"Okay!" The soldiers didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately sent someone to look for the two generals Wei Xu and Hou Cheng.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng are discussing in the prefect's mansion. Facing Li Lin's army like this, they really have no idea for a long time, but they don't know what to do. After all, Cao Cao has treated them well in the past few years. After a while, Chen Liu was handed over to the two for guarding. Although Cao Cao was gone, the two dared not neglect, but once they came here to take a look, it was not the same thing at all. Li Lin's quiet The Liao army stormed for three days, and Chen Liu was about to be unable to hold on for a few more days. The two were also discussing whether they should mobilize the people at the bottom to help defend the city. After all, after gathering all the people outside the city into the city, There are already a lot of people in the city, and the selection of strong men will definitely relieve a lot of pressure...

"Two generals, please see General Zhang Liao outside the city!" A soldier rushed over and came to the two of them.

"Wen Yuan..." The two muttered in unison and looked at each other.

"Could it be that he is Li Lin's lobbyist?" Wei Xu wondered.

"This...with Wen Yuan's temper, how could he do such a thing?" Hou Chengdao, both of them had known Zhang Liao for a long time, how could they not know Zhang Liao's temper.

"Go! Go and have a look!" After Wei Xu finished speaking, Hou Cheng nodded, and the two rushed to the top of the city.

"It really is Wenyuan!" Wei Xu exclaimed.

Hou Cheng shouted, "Wen Yuan, don't come here unharmed!"

"How are you two brothers?" Zhang Liao cupped his hands. Although Zhang Liao was brave, he was indeed slightly younger than Wei Xuhou Cheng.

"Wen Yuan, I heard that you were captured by Li Yuanjie. I was very worried. Why did Wen Yuan appear here?" Wei Xu asked knowingly. When they saw Zhang Liao riding alone, the two of them had already guessed Nine is close to ten......

"A certain person came here just for Li Yuanjie! A certain... is an envoy of the Youliao Army..." Zhang Liao said what he was very reluctant to say.

"Hmph! Zhang Liao, are you begging for glory against the Lord?" Hou Cheng shouted angrily.

"That's not the case!" Zhang Liao shouted immediately. "Someone also has difficulties, can the two elder brothers let me go to the city to discuss in detail!"

"This..." The two looked at each other.

"A certain is riding alone, the two elder brothers don't have to worry!" Zhang Liao shouted.

"Okay! You make a hanging basket and come up!" Wei Xu shouted.

"Okay!" Zhang Liao said, after a while, the hanging basket was put down on the top of the wall, Zhang Liao went in, and the soldiers on the top of the wall pulled Zhang Liao up.

"Clang!" Zhang Liao had just sat on the top of the wall, and before he had time to stand up, he heard the sound of weapons, and several steel knives were placed around his neck.

"Zhang Liao! You betray your master and seek glory, yet you dare to be a lobbyist for Li Yuanjie. Aren't you afraid of death!" Wei Xu scolded.

Zhang Liao's expression did not change, he had expected this kind of treatment before he came, Zhang Liao said quietly, "You two brothers, I have no weapons on me, and I am the only one, do you have any fear of me if I get it to you? "Speaking, Zhang Liao looked at Wei Xu and Hou Cheng with contempt. Could it be that the two generals would be afraid of a defenseless person?
Seeing Zhang Liao like this, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng murmured in their hearts. With a wave of their hands, the soldiers' steel knives were withdrawn. Zhang Liao stood up, looked at the two of them and said, "Although a certain came, it was definitely not for Li Yuanjie. Customer! There is no seller asking for glory!"

"Then why did you come here!" Wei Xu asked.

"This..." Zhang Liao looked around, implying that this is not a place to talk.

"Okay! Let's go!" Wei Xu waved his hand, and a group of people led Zhang Liao down the city. Wei Xu and Hou Cheng came to the prefect's mansion, which is the mansion where the two of them are now in the city. Zhang Liao stood below with his head held high. , It doesn't look like he came back from being a prisoner at all.

"Okay! It's convenient to talk here, Wen Yuan, what's going on with you, tell me quickly!" Hou Cheng said.

"You two brothers!" Zhang Liao arched his hands and said, "That's right! Someone was indeed sent by Li Yuanjie to persuade the two brothers to surrender!"

Wei Xu, Hou Cheng's complexion immediately changed, Wei Xu had already grasped the handle of the steel knife at his waist, Zhang Liao immediately said, "But, he was coerced by that Li Yuanjie!"

"Threatening? How did Li Yuanjie threaten you?" The two frowned, and Wei Xu asked immediately.

"Using the Youliao army to capture the lives of more than ten thousand soldiers of our army!" Zhang Liao said sharply, his tone full of anger.

"Oh?" Wei Xu asked suspiciously, "Why did Li Yuanjie do this for the lives of the captured soldiers of our army!"

"Nowadays, there is no food in Li Yuanjie's camp, and our army has implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Li Yuanjie can't get food in Henan, and it seems that something went wrong during the transportation in Hebei. I don't know this, but Li Yuanjie Tell someone that he has no food for ten days in the camp!" Zhang Liao said quietly.

"What! Seriously!" Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were so excited when they heard this, they almost jumped up from the ground.

"It should be true. These days, the soldiers in Li Lin's camp ate gruel. Because of this, the captives and soldiers had disputes, and these words were said face to face by Li Yuanjie. Judging by Li Yuanjie's face, no doubt It's like a lie!" Zhang Liao said.

"Then you said Li Yuanjie threatened you?" Hou Cheng looked at Zhang Liao and asked.

"Li Yuanjie told someone that the captives of our army are now in his camp, consuming a lot of food and grass. He is already in a hurry, so he asked me to persuade the two brothers to surrender. I hope that the two brothers will open the city and return, so that he can use the food in the city. If not, he will kill more than ten thousand prisoners of our army in the camp, and then immediately order a stormy attack on the city, and when the city is broken, kill them all!" Zhang Liao said angrily.

"What! Li Yuanjie has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but he didn't expect to use such an insidious scheme!" Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were very angry when they heard this.

"Hmph! But let's surrender in Kaesong, this is impossible! Our army still has thousands of people, and it will not be a problem to defend for a few days. When Li Yuanjie runs out of food and grass, he will retreat. It will not be clear who will win and who will lose." What!" Wei Xu said angrily, obviously he would not agree to the surrender of Kaesong. In ancient times, loyalty was the foundation. If Lu Bu had not treated them badly back then, they would not have rebelled, and Cao Cao's art of manipulating people is one of the best in the world. , these two years have been treated very kindly to the two, how could the two surrender to Li Yuanjie so easily?
"You two brothers, listen to a certain word!" Zhang Liao cupped his hands.

"Wen Yuan, but it's okay to say!" The two said.

"Then Li Yuanjie, if the food is exhausted, but with his tens of thousands of troops, he can retreat calmly. Even if the lord sends troops to cover up and kill him during the retreat, then Li Yuanjie will at most lose his vitality and return to Hebei, but Li Yuanjie With Liu He, if Li Yuanjie is strong and Liu He is weak, or if Liu He is strong and Li Yuanjie is weak, the two will fight each other for power, but if both are weak, then the two will definitely join forces. Make a comeback and continue to attack Henan!" Zhang Liao analyzed...

"Hmph! So what, the lord has regained his vitality by then, and he will definitely compete with Liu He and Li Lin for the world. It is not yet known who will win and who will lose at that time!" Wei Xu said sharply.

"Yes! Brother is right, but what if we can make the lord invincible and prevent this from happening?" Zhang Liao suddenly showed a sinister smile.

"Oh?" Wei Xu and Hou Cheng had already looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Liao, wondering, "What does Wen Yuan mean?"

Zhang Liao smiled meaningfully and said, "I just hope that the two elder brothers can open the city and surrender..."

"You are..." The two didn't know each other very well, didn't they make the lord Cao Cao undefeated?
"Both brothers, listen to me carefully..." As he spoke, Zhang Liao told Wei Xu and Hou Cheng that he had been thinking about it for a long time, even before Li Lin found him, and he found out Zhang Liao thought about this problem when the Youliao army was short of food and grass...

"Report..." A cry sounded in Li Lin's camp, and a soldier knelt in front of Li Lin, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhang Liao has returned from Chenliu!"

"Oh?" Li Lin was startled, and then smiled, "It's pretty fast... Let's go, someone will meet you in person!" Every move of Zhang Liao was actually monitored by Li Lin. After staying at the top of the city, Li Lin has been worried about whether Zhang Liao can follow his plan...

Walking quickly to the gate of the camp, Zhang Liao just jumped off his horse and handed the horse to a soldier. When he saw Li Lin approaching, he immediately stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "Liaohou! So-and-so, you have fulfilled your mission!" Zhang Liao didn't Kneeling, it was also he who wanted to tell Li Lin that he did not take refuge in him, that he was not under Li Lin's command...

"Haha! Good! Good! General Wen Yuan really made great contributions to our army, and I will definitely reward General Wen Yuan!" Li Lin immediately stepped forward to straighten Zhang Liao's body, and smiled.

"There is no need for rewards! I just hope that the Marquis of Liao will treat our prisoners well!" Zhang Liao said with a straight face without changing his face.

"Haha! That's for sure. In fact, if General Wen Yuan disagrees with the conditions I mentioned, he will not embarrass the prisoners of your army!" Li Lin smiled and said...
