The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

But when the new person came in, Zhao Yun discovered that it was Zhang Liao.

"Wenyuan?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao who walked into the tent with a little surprise.

Zhang Liao nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zilong."

"Have the military affairs been completed?" Zhao Yun asked, and then he realized that this question was a bit too disrespectful to Zhang Liao.

Given Zhang Liao's serious personality, of course he would come here only after everything was dealt with.

However, in Zhao Yun's impression, Zhang Liao has never been a curious person.

Or perhaps, she covered up her curiosity because she valued the soldiers and the army too much.

Zhang Liao was a general who had followed Liu Zhaoqing for a long time. Even though Liu Zhaoqing had won two great victories in the battles outside the Great Wall, eliminated the threat from the grassland, and has now become the leader of the anti-Dong alliance, Zhang Liao did not change his character.

Ambitious, conceited, and increasingly depraved, these words seemed to be naturally incompatible with Zhang Liao. Although she had become a high-ranking official, she was still a minor official in Yanmen.

Such a Zhang Liao must be appreciated by Zhao Yun, so when Zhao Yun saw Zhang Liao coming in, he was surprised and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's all done. The rest will be injected into the remnants that came back. Because the troops were originally the vanguard, it's difficult for us to deal with them."

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and nodded: "The morale of those remnants is low. After what you have done, I guess they have no fighting ability. The lord will probably suggest that the princes send them all away."

"So, Wenyuan, did you come here to see Gao Shun?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Liao nodded.

She came in front of Gao Shun. At this time, Gao Shun's armor had been taken off, and he was only wearing simple clothes that had no defensive capabilities. Her black armor tiger mask had also been stripped off.

Even so, Gao Shun still kept his head down and said nothing.

Although Zhao Yun liked this kind of captive very much and didn't have to listen to her nagging, it was obvious that there would be foreseeable difficulties in trying to pry something out of her mouth.

Zhao Yun felt that Zhang Liao should know, but if she was just curious, Zhao Yun didn't need to interfere.

Anyway, Zhao Yun still felt a little bored guarding Gao Shun, and now that Zhang Liao was here, she had a lot to ask him.

For example, in the previous battle, what was it like when Zhang Liao summoned the earth spirit?

However, just when Zhang Liao was about to ask Gao Shun, Gao Shun raised his eyebrows slightly. Her eyes did not fall on either Zhao Yun or Zhang Liao, but on the outside of the tent curtain door.

The next moment, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao also felt someone coming.

Slightly surprised at Gao Shun's extraordinary insight, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao looked at each other and guessed who was coming.

Sure enough, when the curtain was opened, Liu Zhaoqing and Xun Yu walked in one after another.

Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised to see Zhang Liao was also in the tent, but then didn't say anything.

"Lord."

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao bowed to Liu Zhaoqing.

Although Liu Zhaoqing is easy-going and humble, almost all of his subordinates understand that proper etiquette is essential.

"Thank you for your hard work, Generals." Liu Zhaoqing nodded and then asked, "Did she talk to you?"

Zhao Yun shook his head. "She hasn't said a word since she was escorted to the camp."

"Quite stubborn." Liu Zhaoqing smiled.

Then he walked to Gao Shun. When Zhao Yun was about to pull her hair forcibly to make her look up at Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Zhaoqing raised his hand to stop him.

Looking at Gao Shun who was looking down, Liu Zhaoqing hesitated for a moment and said, "You should have been a subordinate of Ding Yuan. After Ding Yuan was killed, why did you still rely on Dong Zhuo?"

"Then according to your character, Dong Zhuo is also a treacherous and treacherous minister."

"You are an upright person, and your soldiers are well-trained and extremely disciplined. Why did it come to this?"

Liu Zhaoqing's words did not prompt Gao Shun to speak, and Gao Shun remained silent.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly. If it was true as Liu Zhaoqing said, although Gao Shun's character seemed to be very good, it would be very difficult to get information from such a person.

"Dong Zhuo is not worthy of your blind loyalty." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Gao Shun still didn't reply.

Her expression didn't change until Liu Zhaoqing said the next sentence.

"Your Xianzhen Camp has been stripped of its armor by Lu Bu and taken under his command. Not only will no one come to rescue you, but your soldiers will also be devoured by the rest of Dong Zhuo's generals."

After frowning at first, Gao Shun regained his composure and said calmly, "Someone will come to save me."

"'Save' or 'redemption'?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"First, do you think that with the two generals guarding me, who on Dong Zhuo's side would dare to rescue you?"

"As for 'redemption', if I were Dong Zhuo, I would definitely spend all the money to redeem you." Liu Zhaoqing paused, then said with regret: "But unfortunately, I am not Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo will not redeem you."

"You may feel that you have achieved brilliant results in this battle. After years of training, the Xianzhen Camp has finally become famous. Dong Zhuo will be very willing to rescue you because of this."

As he spoke, Xun Yu saw Gao Shun's bound hands clench slightly.

Obviously, Liu Zhaoqing hit the nail on the head on what she was thinking.

"But unfortunately, although the Xianzhen Camp's fighting ability is indeed strong and this battle was indeed beautiful, Dong Zhuo will not come to save you, let alone redeem you."

Liu Zhaoqing squatted down slightly and looked at Gao Shun straight in the eye.

"This is not a trick but a fact. If I am not mistaken, this plan should have been recommended by Dong Zhuo's counselor Jia Xu, right?"

"Why would she allow all your trap camps to participate, and not send troops other than Xu Rong to support you?"

"Of course this is not to take care of you and make you a meritorious person. It's just because you are just a 'disposable' consumable."

Liu Zhaoqing continued, "As a pawn in Jia Xu's plan, your role was to trap and kill the vanguard troops. Now that your role is complete, Dong Zhuo no longer needs you."

"Even if you go back now, the Alliance has already been tricked by the Xianzhen Camp once, and will be more careful in the future. The Xianzhen Camp will not be able to create such a myth again."

"Besides, as a general, you should also know that Dong Zhuo has many talented generals around him, and you are not the only one who has the gift of commanding the army. So in Dong Zhuo's eyes, your life or death is just as unimportant as the Xianzhen Camp."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhaoqing smiled again: "Of course, you may question what I said, which is also normal."

"I didn't intend to convince you. I just wanted to tell you that as long as you tell me the current configuration of Hulao Pass, I will let you go back."

Gao Shun finally raised his head and looked into her light pink eyes. Liu Zhaoqing's eyes were calm.

"Think about it. By the way, Wenyuan, you can talk to her. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he actually left.

After leaving the tent, on the way back to the rest tent, Liu Zhaoqing stopped and frowned and asked Xun Yu: "Is it a bit inappropriate for me to do this?"

"All's fair in war, and Zhao Qing's original intention was not to gather intelligence," Xun Yu replied.

Of course she knew that Liu Zhaoqing's promise to Gao Shun that he would let her go was just a casual remark, and could even be considered a "trick".

His real intention was to make Gao Shun surrender.

"However, it will be quite difficult for Zhao Qing to subdue this man." Xun Yu said seriously.

"It is quite difficult, but there is still a chance." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

When he was questioning Gao Shun just now, he was also observing Gao Shun's reaction.

"Gao Shun is loyal and upright, which is her strength and also her weakness."

"Blind loyalty will only harm her, and being upright will seem out of place in a place like the capital."

"Compared to herself, she cares more about her subordinates and others, but because of her personality, she can't express it, so she often only shows harshness and harshness to her subordinates."

"If this continues, some of my subordinates will definitely complain about me."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, Xun Yu nodded slightly, surprised for a moment: "I didn't expect Zhaoqing to know Gao Shun so well."

"This can be regarded as the ability to judge people that I learned from Jiao'er," Liu Zhaoqing explained.

Then, as they walked, he continued, "In addition to the merits of the Xianzhen Camp this time, Dong Zhuo has good generals but also mediocre ones. He must be worried that Gao Shun will take his job, so he will belittle Gao Shun."

"However, Dong Zhuo is not He Jin. He should know the value of the Xianzhen Camp." Xun Yu said.

"Yes." Liu Zhaoqing nodded: "I estimate that Dong Zhuo's ransom messenger will arrive soon."

"That Zhao Qing..."

"Just don't tell Gao Shun." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Let him mistakenly believe that Dong Zhuo has given up on her."

"..."

Seeing the silent Xun Yu, Liu Zhaoqing was helpless, so he said that it was not a good idea to do so. Not only was his promise to Gao Shun false, but he would also convey more false information to Gao Shun in the future.

However, Xun Yu’s silence was not because he thought Liu Zhaoqing’s approach was wrong. He just felt that doing so was a little too... gentle towards Gao Shun.

When Xun Yu expressed his doubts, Liu Zhaoqing was also stunned. He didn't expect to be said like this.

But think about it, Liu Zhaoqing did not torture Gao Shun, and even let her stay in a relatively warm tent. It can be said that he was not treating an enemy prisoner at all.

"It seems that Zhao Qing really wants to get this person." Xun Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course." Liu Zhaoqing sighed. Since Xun Yu was his own, he had no intention of hiding anything.

Jia Xu's strategy has already been used, so there is no need to explore it again.

The configuration of Hulao Pass can be known by sending soldiers and generals from the alliance army who have the gift of gathering information.

There are many people around me who can tell you exactly what happened in Luoyang.

All things considered, Liu Zhaoqing had no intention of getting any information from Gao Shun at all.

The only general he wanted was Gao Shun.

At this moment, the two of them had already walked back to the tent. Liu Zhaoqing poured himself a glass of water and said, "The only type of troops we have in the Yellow Turban Army right now is the cavalry. Although Generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are very powerful, they don't have a strong command effect on the Yellow Turban Cavalry."

"It's so rare to find a person who is gifted by heaven to lead an army. The only person I know in Youzhou is Sister Bogui."

Xun Yu nodded: "The Yellow Turban Cavalry has been trained and is fully capable of the current battle. What we lack now is stronger infantry. Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp can make up for this."

"That's right. With the current combat intensity, our cavalry is capable of fighting against those well-trained troops." Liu Zhaoqing said and shook his head.

"However, I can't say for sure whether I can get her or not. It depends on the situation."

Even if he cannot surrender, he cannot be sent back. Gao Shun will probably have to stay in the camp for some days.

-

Early the next morning, the main force of the alliance moved forward again.

Perhaps because of the disastrous defeat of the vanguard troops, they were on guard and did not encounter any ambush like the one in the Xianzhen Camp until they arrived one mile before Hulao Pass.

Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao rode their horses side by side. They looked at the majestic and dark pass in the distance with serious expressions, but they also felt relieved in their hearts.

It is definitely something to be thankful for that the army arrived at Hulao Pass safely.

"After passing this pass, Luoyang will be within reach," said Yuan Shao.

"Yes, let's set up camp now and proceed steadily according to the original plan." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

But sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes.

At this time, Cao Cao looked into the distance, frowned slightly and said, "Look, the gate of Hulao Pass has been opened."

"Someone came out. Is that... Lu Bu?"

Chapter 264: Not Following the Imperial Edict, Zhang Fei vs. Lu Bu4.2K

Looking into the distance, the heavy gate of Hulao Pass had only a small gap open.

The girl riding on a strong red horse walked outside with several followers.

Although we didn't see the iconic Fang Tian Huaji in her hand, judging from her eyes, hair color, and aura, it must be Lu Bu without a doubt.

Even though many of the princes and soldiers had never seen Lu Bu, they had heard of his reputation to some extent. Now when they saw her for the first time, they knew it was Lu Bu without much doubt.

Since everyone is sure that it was Lu Bu, and Lu Bu did not hide his intentions, then the question arises.

What does she want to do?

Liu Zhaoqing's army originally had 100,000 soldiers. Although most of the vanguard troops were ambushed and annihilated due to Jia Xu's plan, they were not seriously injured.

The remaining nearly 80,000 troops still have strong combat effectiveness. If Lu Bu wants to fight an army of 80,000 alone, that is a bit too much.

A few hundred or even a few thousand people would be fine, a top-notch hero like Lu Bu might be able to fight one or two of them, but if one person wants to challenge 80,000, then she has to be able to transform into a fierce god.

Lu Bu definitely did not come here to challenge their army alone.
