Guan Hai and Zhou Cang took a breath, and the two of them looked at each other. Thinking that the matter had been leaked anyway, it would be better to simply kill this man and then escape from the city. But when the two of them just moved their steps
, and saw the man opposite him pull out half of the long knife with a "swish" sound, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Want to kill people and silence them? I have been on guard against you! Come in!"
"boom!"
The door was kicked open in an instant, and several yellow scarf men standing outside also pulled out the long knives in their hands in unison, pointed Bai Sensen's blade at Zhou Cang and Guan Hai in the room.
Zhou Cang and Guan Hai did not have weapons in their hands. Seeing that the opponent had weapons and a large number of people, they thought about it and did not take action. Instead, they took two steps back. After all, the space in the room was too small, so they really wanted to take action.
, the two of them couldn't use it.
"I don't care what party master or flag master you are, I just ask you two, are you here to pretend to surrender?" The young man unsheathed the long sword in his hand, crossed his arms, and slowly
asked slowly.
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang looked at each other, unsure of the young man. If they settled according to normal matters and they faked surrender and were discovered by this person, then this person would hide it and report the matter to Zhang
Bao. However, the person in front of him did not do this. Instead, he asked very straightforwardly, obviously wanting to know their true purpose.
Zhou Cang took the risk and shouted loudly: "So what?"
"Is it really a false surrender? Have you really surrendered to the Han army?" the young man asked.
Guan Hai shouted: "So what? I, Guan Hai, am not just blowing my name. If you have the guts, come here!"
"Haha, put away the sword!" The young man showed a smile on his face and shouted to the several yellow scarf swordsmen behind him.
The swordsmen all put their swords into their scabbards and stood upright behind the young man without saying a word.
The young man immediately raised his hands and said, "Liao Hua, please forgive me for offending you two!"
"Liao Hua? What do you mean?" Guan Hai said.
Liao Hua said with a smile: "The Yellow Turban Army is over. God and all the people have died in the battle. General Digong is so eager for revenge that he didn't realize that this was a trick to surrender by the army. Now the whole of Xiaquyang is actively preparing for war and preparing to launch a night attack.
Raid. When I was thirteen years old, I mistakenly joined the Taiping Road. I followed the great master from Runan all the way to Xiaquyang. I first served as a general under General Gong, and later became a follower of General Di Gong. I wanted to join the official army.
I don’t want to bear the reputation of being a traitor anymore. Since you have surrendered to the army, you will definitely be able to introduce me to it. I wonder if you two can introduce me to it?"
Zhou Cang and Guan Hai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and they both burst into laughter. Zhou Cang said: "In this case, as long as you sincerely surrender to the army, I can recommend it for you. My family is both civil and military, and is brave and unparalleled.
It’s just that I lack confidants, but with your insight and wit, you will definitely be able to win over my lord as a military commander."
Liao Hua said: "I don't care about my official position, I only care about getting rid of the reputation of being a rebel. Both brothers are veteran generals in the Yellow Turban Army. The person who can convince the two brothers must be a great hero.
, these are my personal followers, brothers who have been with me through life and death. Only we know what happened today, and it will never be spread out. Please rest assured, brothers. If I can successfully join the army, I will also
I rely on my two brothers a lot."
Zhou Cang said: "Definitely. Can you do me a favor?"
Liao Hua said: "Brother, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help!"
Zhou Cang said: "I have a fellow countryman named Pei Yuanshao who is also in the city. Do you know him?"
"The surname is Pei? I only know one person. Everyone calls him Bald Pei. I wonder if he is the person my brother is looking for?" Liao Hua asked.
Zhou Cang smiled happily and said, "Yes, Bald Pei is him. Where is he? Take me to find him!"
Liao Hua said: "I'm afraid not. Brothers, let's be honest. General Digong is not at ease with you, so he sent me to monitor the two brothers. If Brother Zhou openly goes to find Pei Guangtou, I'm afraid Pei will be implicated.
Bald. Brother, I understand what you mean. You want Bald Pei to join the army with you, right?"
Zhou Cang had to admire Liao Hua's brains and nodded immediately.
Liao Hua said: "That's easy. Just leave this matter to me. Bald Pei and I are better friends. I'll just tell him about it."
"Then there are brothers Lao Liaohua." Zhou Cang said with cupped hands.
Liao Hua chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, you're so polite."
Guan Hai saw that Liao Hua was a quick-witted person and thought that since Zhang Bao sent Liao Hua to monitor them, he must trust Liao Hua. He immediately thought about it, fearing that he and Zhou Cang would not gain Zhang Bao's true trust and would not be able to transfer Zhang Bao out.
Cheng, then took Zhou Cang aside, discussed it, and the two decided to tell Gao Fei's plan to Liao Hua, and asked Liao Hua to assist him.
Liao Hua was also very happy and accepted it readily. He was worried that he would not be able to join the army with his merits. When the opportunity came, how could he refuse? The three people immediately discussed with each other and decided to split up to implement Gao Fei's plan.
.
There are many people in Quyang City who think like Liao Hua, but they dare not express their thoughts publicly and can only discuss them privately. Liao Hua's popularity is not bad, so he took the initiative to act as a liaison officer and sent himself
He asked his confidants to contact reliable people, and he also went to find Pei Yuanshao and asked Pei Yuanshao to help. In just one afternoon, Liao Hua contacted 3,000 Yellow Turban thieves who had the same idea and were ready to join the army. This
As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Bao was not aware of a series of subtle changes.
After nightfall, Zhang Bao gathered 30,000 Yellow Turban troops. He first called Liao Hua, then opened his mouth and asked, "Did Zhou Cang and Guan Hai do anything unusual?"
Liao Hua replied: "General, there was nothing unusual. The general sent them wine and meat according to the general's instructions. They drank two bowls of wine and ate large pieces of meat. After eating and drinking, they fell to the ground.
I fell asleep in bed and didn’t wake up until the evening.”
Zhang Bao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Liao Hua, you did a good job. When I defeat the 20,000 official troops, I will promote you to be the leader of the party when I come back."
Liao Hua paid homage: "Thank you, General, for your kindness!"
Zhang Baodao: "You are still young and have a bright future. Nowadays, Nanyang and Yingchuan are fighting against each other. Although we have a slight setback on Julu's side, we will soon reverse the situation and defeat Gao.
After flying, our army will advance westward, attack Changshan, and move towards Bingzhou, where there are many mountains and rivers, suitable for us to engage in long-term fierce battles with the government troops."
"Yes, General, I will understand."
"Okay, you go and tell Guan Hai to come. Zhou Cang, as for Zhou Cang, just stay in the city. If they dare to lie to me, I will kill Guan Hai and kill Zhou Cang when they come back." Zhang Bao was moved.
Although he knew that there might be an ambush, he thought it was an opportunity and could not let it go easily. Moreover, the official army only had 20,000 people, and he led 30,000 people, so he had a certain numerical advantage.
"promise!"
Liao Hua went to Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's room. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "The situation has changed. I'm afraid the plan will be slightly changed."
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
Liao Hua said: "Zhang Bao still doesn't feel reassured enough. He just asked Brother Guan to accompany him and asked Brother Zhou to stay in the city."
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang said: "In this case, my lord's ambush plan may not be completely successful."
Liao Hua said: "It doesn't matter, just make a few modifications. When Mr. Gao made the plan, he didn't know that there would be someone like me in the city who wanted to return to the Han Dynasty. However, this was also a good opportunity given to Mr. Gao by God, so he could do it without any trouble.
With just a blow of ashes, the city of Xiaquyang was captured."
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang asked, "Have you noticed anything good?"
Liao Hua said "hmm" and said a few words slowly against Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's ears, which made Guan Hai and Zhou Cang smile on their faces.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I think those officers and soldiers still dare to look down on us surrenderers! Zhou Cang, just stay in the city, and leave the outside affairs to me." Guan Hai
He slapped his thigh and screamed.
Zhou Cang nodded and said: "Brother Guan Hai, you have to be more careful. Zhang Bao's martial arts is slightly better than Zhang Liang."
Guan Hai said: "Don't worry, no matter how high it is, what's the use? There are still adults outside, there is nothing to worry about."
Liao Hua said: "Brother Guan, are you ready?"
Guan Hai nodded, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Everything is ready, let's go!"
Liao Hua then brought Guan Hai to the city gate. He saw a line of people standing beside the city gate. Zhang Bao had his head wrapped in a yellow scarf and was wearing armor. He was holding a spear in his hand, a saber tied to his waist, and riding a green horse on his crotch.
The horse, illuminated by the firelight, looked majestic. He walked straight to Zhang Bao, cupped his fists and said, "General, bring the general here!"
Guan Hai cupped his hands and said: "See General!"
Zhang Bao waved his hand, pointed to a horse without a rider beside him, and said softly: "Guan Hai, get on the horse, otherwise things will change!"
Guan Hai said "Promise" and got on the horse's back.
Zhang Bao turned his head and said to Liao Hua: "I will leave the city to you and Du Yuan, Bian Xi will be stationed there!"
Liao Hua said: "Don't worry, general. As long as I am here, the city will be safe and sound. I will wait for the general to return in triumph!"
Zhang Bao smiled, shouted loudly, and then rode out, followed closely by 30,000 thieves.
Liao Hua climbed up the city tower and saw Zhang Bao leading his troops away far away. He turned to the two men in armor beside him and said, "General Du, General Bian, I recently received a gift from General Di Gong."
The jar of fine wine has not yet been opened. I heard that this is the royal wine that can only be drunk by the emperor. I would like to invite the two generals to have a drink in my humble residence. I wonder if the two generals can give me a favor?"
