Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 474 Want to persevere?

In the city of Runan.

"Bastard! Zhang Liao! You are a surrender! How dare you put me under house arrest! You traitor! You are conspiring against me! You traitor! I must report to the prime minister!"

In General Runan's mansion, even passers-by outside the mansion could hear Cao Chun's scolding.

But at the moment outside General Runan's mansion, there are no pedestrians who dare to pass by.

In the mansion, Zhang Liao had a stern look on his face, looking at Cao Chun who was being escorted down the hall and scolding himself endlessly. He gritted his teeth and said, "General Cao Chun! Let me say it one last time! The Prime Minister personally issued three edicts! Let you Return to Runan with General Cao Xiu! That’s all for not listening to the Prime Minister’s order! Now General Cao Xiu has been killed in battle! You still want to disobey the order! Are you trying to make General Cao Xiu uneasy!”

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Cao Chun spat fiercely, looked at Zhang Liao coldly and said: "You surrendered general, don't scare me with Xiu'er here! Xiu'er died on the battlefield because of Yuan Tan's scheming. I will definitely repay Xiu'er, but you can't put me under house arrest here! I am General Polu! I am at the same level as you, General Runan! You have no right to bully me! I want to lead the troops out into battle!"

"Get out!" No matter how good-tempered Zhang Liao was, he couldn't bear to hear Cao Chun's words. He kicked over the table in front of him on the spot, grabbed Cao Chun, and looked at Cao Chun's eyes with a cold voice. Said: "Now the Changqing camp has been conquered by that little thief Yuan Tan. Looking around, the entire Runan army is in panic! All this is thanks to you two! You still have to lead troops out now, Could it be that all tiger and leopard riders are going to die in Runan?"

When Cao Chun heard Zhang Liao's words, he still stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head, but he couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.

Three days ago, under Cao Chun's suggestion, Cao Xiu led [-] light cavalry out of the camp to rob and kill Yuan Tan's Xuzhou army camp.

Instead, they were ambushed, and the entire army of [-] light cavalry was annihilated under Yuan Tan's ambush. Cao Xiu himself was directly beheaded by Yuan Tan!
When the news came back to the camp, Cao Chun couldn't hold back at that time, and immediately wanted to lead the remaining 1 tiger and leopard cavalry in the camp to avenge Cao Xiu.

But before he could leave the camp, Zhang Liao, who received Cao Cao's order, led his troops to the Changqing camp, forcibly confiscated Cao Chun's military power, and brought Cao Chun back to you together with 1 tiger and leopard cavalry. South!

Cao Chun himself was directly placed under house arrest by Zhang Liao.

Looking at Cao Chun who was still furious in front of him, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He put Cao Chun under house arrest. Originally, he wanted to let Cao Chun calm down for a while before discussing, but he never expected that Cao Chun had been clamoring to lead the tiger and leopard out of the city to fight Yuan Tan to the death!

What a joke!
After the Changqing Camp was captured, the entire Runan City was filled with panic. Now Yuan Tan even openly set up camp in front of Runan City. Every day, enemy generals went to the city to challenge.

The morale of the soldiers in the city was getting lower day by day, and Zhang Liaochou's hair was turning gray.

Every day I try my best to maintain the morale of the army, but at this time, Cao Chun jumped out to make trouble for himself!
With 1 tigers and leopards riding out of the city, can they beat Yuan Tan's soldiers?

At this moment, Yuan Tan's morale is high, and now he is going out to fight in the city, which is to give merit to Yuan Tan and lower the morale of the city!

Doesn't Cao Chun know this truth?

Zhang Liao stared hard at Cao Chun's eyes. Although the eyes of this clan general seemed clear, they were filled with bloodshot eyes, which was unexpected.

It was obvious that Cao Chun was completely stunned by Cao Xiu's death.

Realizing that there was no way to appease Cao Chun by talking, Zhang Liao reluctantly released Cao Chun, waved his hand, and signaled the guards to take Cao Chun back to his room.

Zhang Liao specially prepared a room for Cao Chun, which was fully equipped with all kinds of food and drink, the only additional equipment.

Thirty soldiers were placed in Cao Chun's residence and they were strictly guarded to prevent Cao Chun from leaving the city!

After seeing off Cao Chun who was still yelling angrily before leaving, Zhang Liao sighed heavily.

After receiving Cao Cao's order, he did not immediately send people to bring Cao Chun and Cao Xiu back to Runan, just because Cao Xiu and Cao Chun wanted to allow the two to harass Yuzhou.

Cao Cao deliberately added the official title of general to both of them. In terms of rank, they are equal to Zhang Liao.

So if the two enter Runan City, who will the Runan Army obey?
Listen to Cao Xiu?Listen to Cao Chun?Or should you listen to Zhang Liao?
Zhang Liao didn't think Cao Cao would fail to understand this point. There can't be two voices in the army, let alone three voices!

But Cao Cao still issued this military order, for what?Don't you have to rely on the supervision of Cao Xiu and Cao Chun to prevent yourself, a surrendered general with a foreign surname, from defecting to the enemy again?
Zhang Liao rubbed his face, trying to calm down.

It's all right now, Cao Xiu went to fight privately and died in the hands of the Xuzhou army. Another Cao Chun came and clamored to fight.

The loss of the Changqing camp brought the morale of the already low morale of the Runan army to a new level.

That's great, Yuan Tan doesn't have to do anything, if Cao Chun continues to make trouble, the morale of the Runan Army is probably about to collapse.

Zhang Liao thought about it with pleasure, and sat back in his seat helplessly.

Down below, Generals Song Yu, Hou Cheng, and Li Tong just witnessed the farce, and now they see the distressed look of the coach, you look at me, I look at you, they all don't know how to comfort Zhang Liao .

In the end, Zhang Liao calmed down by himself. After rubbing his cheeks, he looked at Song Yu and Hou Cheng and said, "General Song Yu, General Hou Cheng, you two will lead the troops and guard General Cao Chun." , don’t let him run out of the courtyard by himself, you know?”

Song Yu and Hou Cheng nodded quickly.

Zhang Liao only felt that the days when he was sighing during this time were about to catch up with the time he used to work under Lu Bu's command.

Cao Chun is General Zhechong, not to mention equal to himself. After Cao Xiu died, he took over Cao Xiu's position as a matter of course and became the new Tiger and Leopard Cavalry coach.

With the bonus of this official position, even Zhang Liao couldn't take the tiger and leopard rider back from Cao Chun's hands.

So once Cao Chun had a negative opinion, if he was really allowed to run into the barracks, with his prestige and the soldier talisman in his hand, he could directly mobilize tigers and leopards out of the city for a decisive battle, but Zhang Liao still couldn't react!
After thinking about it, Zhang Liao added a bargaining chip to Cao Chun's guards. I believe that with Song Yu and Hou Cheng watching, even if Cao Chun could run, he would not be able to run very far.

After arranging the two generals Hou Cheng and Song Yu, Zhang Liao looked at Li Tong and said, "In these days, I will work hard for General Li Tong to patrol the square gates and be sure to guard them strictly. In addition, I will summon the quartermaster Come here, I have to know how long the military supplies in Runan City can last."

Li Tong nodded quickly, and the guards guarding outside the door heard the order and hurried out to find the quartermaster. Not long after, the quartermaster hurried to the Runan General's Mansion and reported to Zhang Liaohui: "General, the savings in the city are still low. It can supply the army for more than three months."

Hearing the quartermaster's words, Zhang Liao finally relaxed a little.

Three months was enough time for Cao Cao to come up with a way to rescue him, provided that no new disturbances occurred in the city.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help looking in the direction outside the city, feeling a little worried.

Since Yuan Tan set up camp in front of Runan City, there has been no movement for two days, and it has always been a daily routine to send General Deng Ai to the city to fight.

This uncharacteristically silent performance made Zhang Liao very worried.

After pondering over and over again, Zhang Liao finally decided to give Cao Cao a handwritten letter asking Cao Cao to move Cao Chun's time bomb away as soon as possible, but the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could not let Cao Chun take it with him now.

Otherwise, Zhang Liao was afraid that Cao Chun would lead the tiger and leopard out of the city with his front legs, and then he would lead the tiger and leopard riders into Yuan Tan's camp and die.

The plan was decided, Zhang Liao immediately ordered people to send silk cloth and pen and ink, and began to write a memorial to Cao Cao.

At this time, outside the city of Runan, in the tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Tan finally got the reward from his subordinates: "Report to your lord, Cao Xiu's body has been sewn up."

Yuan Tan nodded and said with a slight smile: "Come here, put Cao Xiu's body in a coffin and send it to Runan City, and let General Zhang Liao of Runan City lead someone to bring Cao Xiu's body back to the city!"

After finishing the order, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.

"In this way, Cao Chun, can you calm down?"
