Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Following Zhang Liao's order, the soldiers received the order in unison, and immediately got busy. However, Chen Sheng on the top of the wall was dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhang Liao, who looked at a calm person, would do things unexpectedly. To be so reckless, to attack the city at the slightest disagreement, isn't this going to cause a big mess?

As Jia Xu guessed, Liu Biao plotted against Li Yi in Xinye. The specifics are very simple. Let Chen Sheng suppress Li Yi's people first. , If you can't hold it down, it's okay, let Chen Sheng smile, and then exchange for evidence of Li Yi's next crime, so as to prepare for liquidating Li Yi in the future.

Chen Sheng didn't dare to respond to Liu Biao's order, but he thought he couldn't offend Li Yi, so Chen Sheng thought of leaving Zhang Liao outside the city first, waiting for Li Yi to arrive, and then going out of the city to make amends and make Li Yi Invite Yi to come in, this is considered to have completed Liu Biao's character, and it also gave Li Yi face.

But Chen Sheng never expected that Zhang Liao would be so ruthless, attacking the city at the slightest disagreement, which made Chen Sheng feel as if his brain would be cracked.

Not to mention Liu Biao's confession, there must be no conflict with Li Yi, even if he didn't confess, Chen Sheng knew that he and Li Yi's people must not fight, otherwise Zhang Liao didn't know about it afterwards, he was dead anyway, no matter what Neither Li Yi nor Liu Biao can tolerate him.

"General Zhang don't want to attack the city!"

"General Zhang, don't be impulsive, speak up if you have something to say!"

Chen Sheng panicked, shouted and waved to Zhang Yun on the tower, but Zhang Liao didn't raise his head, and just asked the soldiers to dig holes and dig the soil.

Chen Sheng yelled a few more times, seeing that Zhang Liao ignored him at all, he felt anxious, and asked left and right: "If Zhang Liao attacks the city, then you and I will be to blame, what should we do?"

Chen Sheng came from a bad background, so he was promoted by Liu Biao recently, and those around him who could give advice were those brothers from the past. After a while, someone patted his forehead and said: "General, Mr. Liu is still here. There is a messenger who stays in the city and will not return to Xiangyang until Li Yi enters the city, why not ask that person to come out now, and say that the envoy's warrant has just arrived, so that this is just the time to end this matter and save everyone's face."

Chapter 399

"Okay, this method is wonderful!"

Chen Sheng only thought about it for a while, and felt that this method was very reliable. He was overjoyed, praised the person a few times, and immediately asked someone to arrange it, and he himself went down the tower.

Standing by the moat, Zhang Liao seemed to be urging the soldiers to dig. In fact, he had been paying attention to the movements on the other side of the tower from the corner of his eye. When he found that Chen Sheng disappeared on the top of the city, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. , although he was not sure what Chen Sheng did exactly, but he thought he was not far away from Furuan, so he waved his hand quietly, signaling that the diggers don't have to work so hard.

Although Zhang Liao did have a hidden ruthlessness in his bones, he was certainly not as reckless as Chen Sheng thought. The stance of attacking the city was mainly because he was sure that although Chen Sheng dared to block him, he would never dare to fight him with a real sword.

In addition to the fact that the current situation in Jingzhou does not allow Chen Sheng to do that, another very important reason is that Chen Sheng has no foundation in Jingzhou. If this is the case, what else does Zhang Liao have to be afraid of?

Moreover, taking a step back, even if Chen Sheng persisted for the sake of face, Zhang Liao didn't mind going to the top of the city. Anyway, now Xinye City is mainly old and weak, and there was no defense before. If Zhang Liao can't do it in half a day If he wins Xinye, he might as well go home and farm the land.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had started to fill the moat with soil, Xinye's city gate creaked and slowly opened, and at the same time, the suspension bridge was slowly falling.

Zhang Liao turned his head and saw Chen Sheng and several personal guards rushing out with a scribe.

Zhang Liao didn't recognize anyone, so he turned sideways and asked, "Zishang, who is that scribe?"

There was such a big commotion in front, Pang Ji naturally wouldn't continue to sit around in the back, and had already come to the front to work with Zhang Liao as a staff member, and when he saw him asking a question, he glanced at him and shook his head, "I haven't seen that person before, and I don't know him." , presumably they are newly recruited clerks."

Zhang Liao nodded, and asked again: "Are you sure you're not a member of a family with connections with the lord?"

Pang Ji felt that something was wrong, but he nodded and said affirmatively, "No."

The circle of aristocratic families is so big, and the Pang family is among the top ones. It can be said that Pang Ji has basically met all the respectable family members in Jingzhou, especially the young people.

"That's good."

Zhang Liao said something with a smile, but the inexplicable meaning in his voice made Pang Ji feel even worse.

"General Zhang, wait a minute!"

"Liu Shijun's messenger has arrived, the general can enter the city!"

At this time, Chen Sheng had already crossed the suspension bridge, and hurried over to Zhang Liao's side. Zhang Liao's soldiers didn't stop him, and cooperated to give Chen Sheng a way.

Zhang Liao waved his hands, and finally told the soldiers to stop their movements, then looked at Chen Sheng, and asked doubtfully, "Can I enter the city now?"

Zhang Liao's voice sounded very gentle, Chen Sheng didn't notice anything wrong, pointed to the scribe behind him, and said, "Exactly, Mr. Liu's messenger just arrived because of the delay in the journey, and Mr. Hou's soldiers and horses entered the city."

The scribe nodded to Zhang Liao with a calm expression, and said nothing, as if he accepted what Chen Sheng said.

"So that's it, thank you, it was Liao who was rude just now."

Zhang Liao bowed his hands to Chen Sheng, showing apology, and Chen Sheng didn't care about it, and returned the gift with a smile. He felt that Zhang Liao was not easy to mess with just now on the top of the wall, but now that he got closer, Chen Sheng had already begun to doubt, Can I block Zhang Liao's three sabers?

"Since the misunderstanding is resolved, how about I bring General Zhang into the city now, okay?"

Chen Sheng's tone was a little more polite and sincere. He wanted to make up with Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao said, "No hurry, no hurry."

Chen Sheng was puzzled, and asked: "Is there anything else? Could it be that the Marquis Xiang is coming soon?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Maybe Xianghou will be there in the evening, but Zhang has something to ask him."

As he spoke, Zhang Liao pointed to the scribe.

Chen Sheng didn't know what Zhang Liao was going to do, and the scribe didn't know even more, but both of them could feel that Zhang Liao seemed to be doing something wrong.

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand to hold his sword, stepped forward slowly, and said slowly: "Six days ago, Liu Shijun's emissary Yiji entered Wancheng, and asked my lord to send troops, and counting the time it took Yiji to go to Wancheng, at least ten days Liu Shijun should have started to send a message to Xinye before, ready to accept my master into the city, but you, why did you arrive now?"

Zhang Liao spoke calmly at first, but at the end, he gradually turned cold. Although he didn't move too much, the scribe was startled by Zhang Liao and took two steps back.

"Ah, this..."

The scribe said hesitantly. Originally, he thought about some questions that Zhang Liao might ask, but after all, his thoughts were limited. Coupled with the fear in his heart, he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he couldn't help looking at Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng was also at a loss. , He thought it would be fine to take out a step and let everyone come down together. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao would not give up, and even directly pointed the finger at Liu Biao.

That's right, it was Liu Biao. Although Zhang Liao's questioning was aimed at the messenger, who could not see that he was referring to Sang and Huai?

Zhang Liao didn't bother Chen Sheng, just stared at the messenger and asked, "You, why didn't you answer?"

"I, you, you are rude!"

Seeing that Chen Sheng didn't help, Zhang Liao approached him step by step. The messenger subconsciously scolded Zhang Liao, trying to embolden him.

Naturally, Zhang Liao would not be backed by him, he tightened his hand on the sword, and then said loudly: "The battle in Jingzhou is tense now, and the march of soldiers and horses cannot be delayed, but you are negligent and slack, but you are only a password, and you are six or seven days late. Send it, and almost let Xianghou's soldiers and horses meet with brothers in Xinye City, I ask you, what should you do!"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword in Zhang Liao's hand began to be pulled out inch by inch, making a low and cold rustling sound.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng felt terrible, and couldn't help but want to step forward to stop him, but Xu Sheng took a step forward and put his hand on Chen Sheng's wrist. When Chen Sheng struggled, he found that he couldn't move an inch. Not only is Zhang Liao powerful, but his lieutenant is not easy to mess with.

At this time, the scribe was really frightened by Zhang Liao, feeling as if the hairs on his body were about to stand on end, he backed away and shouted:

"what are you going to do?"

"Someone is Liu Shijun's messenger, you dare to kill me?"

"Don't, don't, wait a minute, general, it's none of my business, I'm just delivering the letter, it's Mr. Liu who won't let you enter the city—"

puff--

Following a flash of extremely fast sword light, the scribe's voice came to an abrupt end, and then with a clang and Zhang Liao retracted his sword into its sheath, the scribe also fell to the ground with a plop, with a big slash protruding from his neck. His body could only twitch instinctively, and it was obviously hopeless.

At this time Xu Sheng also let go of Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng just stared blankly at the corpse of the scribe. He still can't believe that Zhang Liao would kill Liu Biao's envoy. Isn't he afraid of Liu Biao...

Uh, it seems that I really don't have to be afraid, because Li Yi is backing me.

At this time, Zhang Liao clapped his hands, ignoring the countless surprised eyes on the city and the city, as if nothing had happened, walked up to Chen Sheng with a smile, and asked, "General Chen thinks that a person who delays important military affairs like this is guilty of crimes?" Is it time to kill?"
