Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

The army continued to move forward, and not long after, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang saw a scout rushing back in front of them, they reined in the reins, and the scout dismounted and bowed to Zhang Liao: "General Qi, the guards of Xinye will not allow me Wait to enter the city!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at each other, and there was a look in their eyes.

However, compared to the calmness of the two of them, the ordinary soldiers who followed behind them immediately became angry.

Indeed, before dispatching troops, Li Yi did not shout slogans on the school grounds, and did not mobilize before the battle, but people are thoughtful, Li Yi does not say, the soldiers will guess for themselves.

Li Yi was very kind to the soldiers on weekdays. The soldiers naturally thought that Li Yi was a good guy, and that guy Yuan Shu was obviously a bad guy. So, of course, most of the soldiers thought that they were here to help Liu Biao beat Yuan Shu this time.

It's just that neither Li Yi nor Zhang Liao directly admitted this, which made the soldiers a little guilty and confused about their guesses.

Ordinary soldiers and horses are likely to cause trouble in this situation, but Li Yiping treats the soldiers kindly and strictly enforces military discipline. The resilience of the soldiers is relatively much better, and there is no problem in this regard, but no matter how good Bing is also a human being by nature. After walking for a few days with doubts, it is inevitable that some pressure or negative emotions will arise in my heart.

So, after hearing what the scouts said, those ordinary soldiers suddenly felt their brains overheated.

I have worked so hard to help you regardless of previous suspicions, but the result is that you are not even allowed to enter the city gate when you are eating. What is the reason for this?

Too much deception, is there anything?

"Why don't you let us into the city?"

"Why, I obviously begged the Marquis Xiang to come!"

"Let's go straight over and see who dares to stop!"

……

Soldiers these days are basically rough people who can't bear to be wronged, so they immediately started to yell. Zhang Liao didn't stop him immediately. He waited until he felt that the atmosphere was almost at the top, and then he stretched out his hand and waved to the back. All the soldiers Seeing this, immediately silence.

These sergeants know that although Li Yi treats them very well, even if his family members are wronged, he can ask the generals above for help. It can be said that everything is easy to discuss, but there is one thing that is taboo, that is, never touch military discipline. Don't even try it, because many unbelievers have already moved their heads.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhang Liao asked the scouts in a deep voice: "You can ask, why are you not letting me wait to enter the city?"

The scout replied: "The guard at the top of the city asked who we were. Stationed outside the city, if you want to enter the city, or take food and grass, you must have Liu Shijun's warrant."

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Liao laughed, although he was laughing, but everyone knew that Zhang Liao was angry, and there seemed to be a bit of irony in it.

Xu Sheng looked at Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao didn't say much, and directly ordered: "The whole army continues to advance, I want to see who dares to block the way!"

"Here!"

Probably because the whole army was a little angry, the march was very fast this time, and Zhang Liao led the army to the outside of Xinye City in a short time.

Looking at the closed city gate and the raised suspension bridge in front of him, Zhang Liao sneered coldly, ignoring the suspicious or apprehensive eyes of the hundred or ten people on the top of the city, lightly kicked the horse's belly with his legs, and accelerated to the edge of the moat. Then he reined in the reins with one hand, raised the whip with the other, pointed at the city gate and shouted loudly: "Listen up, general, this is General Zuo of the Han Dynasty, the army under Li Xianghou's command. I am Zhang Liao, the vanguard general of Xianghou, please hurry up Quickly open the city gate to welcome me into the city!"

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate!"

……

Following Zhang Liao's roar, the [-] soldiers behind him also shouted, and the voices echoed back and forth in the city.

The defenders on the city looked towards the center one after another, but Chen Sheng didn't care about the reaction of the defenders at all. He himself was frowning, feeling that today's errand was difficult to handle.

Before, Chen Sheng rejected the scout simply because he knew that the leader was not Dian Wei, the fierce man, nor Li Yi himself, but Zhang Liao, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But Chen Sheng didn't expect that just Zhang Liao's roar just now made his mind shake, and then observed Zhang Liao's appearance through the female wall. Although he was not as vicious as Dian Wei, but his calm demeanor was similar to Huang Zhong's spirit, and his sharpness was even stronger. Three points better than Huang Zhong!

Seeing such a person, Chen Sheng's first thought was that he must not fight with him, otherwise he might not be able to survive ten times.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Li Yi really has many strong generals under his command!

However, it was not only Zhang Liao who made Chen Sheng afraid, but also the seven thousand soldiers and horses behind Zhang Liao. The rest of the old and weak in my own city can compare.

Chen Sheng was still thinking wildly, but one of his personal guards seemed to have been shocked by the scene outside the city, and whispered in Chen Sheng's ear: "General, Marquis Li Xiang's troops are very powerful, why don't we open the city. "

A trace of hesitation flashed across Chen Sheng's face, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Emissary Liu has an order, let me follow the plan. If Zhang Liao is allowed to enter the city at this time, how will I explain to the envoy in the future?"

"But……"

The guard still wanted to suggest, but Chen Sheng waved his hand directly to prevent him from continuing to speak, and turned his head to continue looking outside the city.

Zhang Liao raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to be quiet, then squinted his eyes to look at the tower, and shouted again: "Why, is there no one in Xinye City? How come there is no one who dares to answer!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng gave a dry cough, and walked out from behind the female wall, cupped his hands to Zhang Liao from a distance, and forced a smile, "My servant, Chen Sheng, I hope General Zhang will be considerate, this city gate really cannot be opened."

Zhang Liao also arched his hands, knowingly asked, "Why can't it be opened?"

Chen Sheng replied: "Because the general does not have Liu Shijun's warrant, and Chen has not been summoned by Liu Shijun, so...the matter of city defense is very important. I hope General Zhang will understand."

Zhang Liao snorted, didn't look at Chen Sheng again, but looked back at the soldiers behind him, then pointed at the moat with his horsewhip, and asked loudly, "You know where this is!"

For a moment, people on and off the city, no matter where they were, were all stunned, even Chen Sheng and Xu Sheng were no exception.

Zhang Liao looked around, and asked loudly again: "You will know where this is!"

Everyone was still puzzled. Although everyone knew that Zhang Liao was referring to the Xinye City Moat, no one would foolishly think that this was the answer Zhang Liao wanted to ask.

Just when Zhang Liao was about to continue talking, an old soldier on the top of the wall suddenly uttered an exclamation, pointed at Zhang Liao as well, and shouted, "That was the time when Marquis Xiang—"

As soon as the veteran said the words, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly kept silent, but the other dozen people on the wall were reminded by him, and their expressions changed after they thought of something.

Seeing the strange movement of the soldiers on the top of the wall, Chen Sheng was puzzled, and was about to ask the guards to ask, when Zhang Liao laughed and said, "That's right, it's here!"

"Back then, for the sake of the people of Nanyang, the Marquis of Xiang rode to Xiangyang alone, regardless of his own safety, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to save the people from the fire. Wan, unexpectedly he used all sorts of excuses to reject the Marquis Xiang, hmph, do you know what Marquis Xiang did at that time?"

The fact that Li Yi was blocked outside Xinye City at the beginning has been embellished by everyone in Cai and various publicity, and now it is basically known in Nanyang, and it has become the most talked about thing after dinner, and Li Yi's soldiers are even more so. in this way.

These soldiers were already furious when they were refused to enter the city, but now that their lord had a similar experience with him, they became even more angry, shouting one after another:

"General, please order to attack the city, someone is willing to go first!"

"It's too deceiving, I must have an explanation!"

"General, we..."

Hearing the noisy voice of a group of soldiers below, Chen Sheng's face on the city changed a bit, but Zhang Liao smiled, and saw him pointing to the moat again, and said loudly: "At the beginning when Marquis Xiang was rejected, out of anger, directly He leaped across the river with his horse, but he ran out of horsepower on the way, and the Marquis of Xiang was about to fall into the water, and a divine beast appeared in the water. He was moved by Marquis Xiang’s love for the people, so he willingly served as Marquis Xiang’s mount, and sent Marquis Xiang into the city to escape danger!”

Although this matter has been known for a long time, even the rumors are even worse, such as Jinlong took Li Yi directly to Xiangyang or something, but the rumors are just rumors after all, and what Zhang Liao said at this moment is to give Li Yi this matter. Things are settled.

Looking at the soldiers who were originally angry, their faces were no longer filled with the original righteous indignation, but a little more fanatical, Zhang Liao nodded secretly, and then continued: "Today, the Marquis Xiang ordered me to enter Xinye, and I don't want to be rejected again. As a vanguard, although he lacks virtue and ability, he dare not ask the gods and beasts to help him, but the order of Marquis Xiang cannot be disobeyed, so..."

After a slight pause, Zhang Liao suddenly raised his voice, and said: "From now on, a thousand people will dig the soil to fill the river, and then a thousand people will cut down wood to make ladders. After an hour, we will attack the city. Prepare hot food!"

"promise!"
