Chapter 416: If something goes wrong, everyone will be buried with me, starting from me
Youzhou, Zhuojun Prefecture.
It's already the moon's peak.
"General Zhang... I have something urgent to report." A loud and deep voice suddenly came from in front of Zhang Liao's bedroom.
Whoosh...Zhang Liao was startled and woke up from his sleep, and then...suddenly stood up.
Faintly, he had an ominous premonition. It was so late and there was something urgent to report... There was no doubt that something had happened to Yi Xiaotian in Wuhuan direction.
Huh...Yi Xiaotian is the person Cao Sikong has repeatedly ordered to protect!
No room for error…
With this in mind, Zhang Liao quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and asked urgently, "Why are you so panicked?"
…
At a quarter of the hour, converted to before time travel, it was already three-thirty in the morning.
So late at night, the Zhuojun Government Office, which was supposed to be silent, seemed to suddenly explode...
Countless advisers, generals, and officials were quickly summoned to the prefect's mansion.
One moment, everyone was huffing and puffing, their eyes narrowed to a narrow slit, and the next moment, everyone's eyes were wide and round.
As for the reason, there is no other reason...
More than 40 Wuhuan tribesmen in Liaodong sent out cavalry overnight, aiming directly at Cao Jun's envoy team.
Although, most of the officials in Youzhou do not know who Yi Xiaotian, the envoy to Wuhuan, is...
But Wuhuan's large-scale actions still made them suspicious.
Besides...this thing is too weird.
"General Zhang, Wuhuan has occupied Liaodong for a long time. I dare not say that it is far away. There has never been such a large-scale joint operation in the past twenty years."
An official from Youzhou was talking eloquently. He was not young, over sixty years old. He had held important positions under Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan respectively, and he knew Wuhuan very well.
His knowledge of Wuhuan is basically authoritative in the entire Youzhou.
"The tribes of Wuhuan have always robbed and killed each other because of cattle, sheep, and horses. The relationship between the tribes is very bad. This time, more than forty tribes with evil intentions have united. This thing is too strange.
It’s almost impossible! Is the information General Zhang received accurate?”
"It's absolutely true!" Zhang Liao said firmly. "Several scouts reported back at the same time that more than 40 tribes and more than 10,000 cavalry troops were galloping towards us. In three hours at most, these cavalrymen will be enough to reach Cao Cao.
It’s over there with the camp mission.”
hiss…
As soon as Zhang Liao's words came out, all the officials looked at each other in confusion. Everyone discussed in low voices. The core point was just like what the old man said. This is wrong, weird, and almost impossible. When did the Wuhuan tribes become so united?
?
The old man also thought for a long time and finally spoke.
"Since the intelligence is accurate, then... the Wuhuan people have really united. It's wrong, it's still wrong..."
The old man threw out a sentence, shook his head immediately, and immediately denied his words completely.
"That shouldn't be the case! The Wuhuan tribes will never unite. What's more, our envoy team is negotiating with the Qiaowang tribe this time, and it has not affected these small tribes. They can't provoke us!"
The more the old man spoke, the more determined his tone became. He lowered his head and thought for a moment.
etc…
It seemed that for a moment, he thought of a point, a crucial point.
"General Zhang..." the old man raised his voice deliberately, "I would like to ask, is there anyone special among the envoys sent to Wuhuan this time?"
Well...someone special.
Zhang Liao raised his brows, and then replied, "I dare not mention the special person, but there is a person whom Cao Sikong thinks highly of. For this person, Cao Sikong made repeated orders - he must be protected during this mission to Wuhuan.
His life, at any cost!"
call out…
The old man thought about it carefully and then nodded.
"If this is the case, more than 40 tribes from Wuhuan were dispatched at the same time, which may be related to this person!"
The old man's tone was firm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he explained in detail. "General Zhang, if we can mobilize the cavalry of so many tribes in Wuhuan at the same time, there is only one possibility..."
Hmm...a possibility?
Suddenly, all the civil servants and generals looked at the old man, with worries in their eyes, but more of them were curious.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but take a step forward, his whole face was extremely nervous.
Finally...the old man smacked his lips and then spoke.
"Either the envoy mentioned by General Zhang is a being respected by everyone in Wuhuan and a spiritual leader with the same status as their Khan, or this envoy is an enemy that everyone in Wuhuan hopes to get rid of..."
Speaking of this, the old man paused and continued to add. "Fifteen years ago, there were two such figures in Wuhuan. One was Liu Yu, the Youzhou pastor who was respected by everyone in Wuhuan, and the other was-
- The commander of White Horse Yicong, the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, who made the Wuhuan people frightened by the news and wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"
Huo…
As soon as the names of these two people came out, the entire government office was in an uproar.
Indeed, Liu Yu, who has always advocated mutual benefit with Wuhuan and helped various tribes in Wuhuan, deserves to be respected by everyone in Wuhuan. If he is sent as an envoy to Wuhuan, it will definitely make the tribes abandon their prejudices.
, welcome along the way.
And Gongsun Zan, who advocated the annihilation of Wuhuan by force and severely wounded Wuhuan several times, is worthy of being hated by everyone in Wuhuan!
If he were in Wuhuan territory, the tribes of Wuhuan would abandon their prejudices and work together to kill him.
Hiss, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.
The theory put forward by the old man is very reasonable...
But theory is theory, in fact... This Yi Xiaotian, whom Cao Sikong even thinks highly of? It seems that he has never been to Liaodong at all, let alone Wuhuan, right?
Not to mention that he can reach the level of respect or hatred like Liu Yu or Gongsun Zan. This is incredible!
However, more than forty tribes from Wuhuan really united and rushed towards him... This...
Zhang Liao shook his head violently. He felt that his IQ was no longer enough to think about such a complicated situation.
But…
No matter what, Yi Xiaotian’s safety must be kept!
Zhang Liao immediately ordered...
"The generals immediately mobilized their troops and followed me to the territory of Wuhuan... No matter what, we have to respond to the mission, and no accidents can happen."
"In addition, you and other civil servants will quickly write a document and submit it to Cao Sikong to let him know about this..."
"Here!" Everyone responded with their hands raised...
No matter what, Cao Ying's envoy convoy must be preserved. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Liao's move, but... if there is a big fight with Wu Huan, then... without preparation, what is the chance of winning?
What's more, this is a confrontation with the Wuhuan people on the plains!
It seems that...when fighting on the plains, except for the white horse righteous followers, no cavalry is their opponent.
"General Zhang..." Seeing Zhang Liao hurriedly planning to walk out of the government office, the old man stretched out his hand to block him. "I suggest General Zhang wait a little longer... After all, this envoy is someone Cao Sikong values. Perhaps, he
You can really create something magical.”
hehe…
Faced with the bowl of poisonous chicken soup proposed by the old man, Zhang Liao said "hehe".
He didn't know if Yi Xiaotian could create something magical.
But... if something happens to Yi Xiaozhen in Wuhuan territory, he, Zhang Liao... or even... not only him, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang He, but also Yu Jin, no one can take advantage of him!
this point…
From Cao Cao's repeated orders, from Cao Cao's deliberate concealment of his identity, from the hot look in Cao Cao's eyes when he mentioned Yi Xiaotian, we can tell one or two.
Zhang Liao is a smart man. He can see that although Yi Xiaotian does not have any official title, his status in Cao Sikong's heart is extremely important!
Let alone Zhang Liao, even the five good generals and the talents of Yingchuan may not be able to equal the weight of Yi Xiaotian in Cao Gong's heart!
Gambling? Zhang Liao doesn’t know how to gamble, let alone dares to gamble!
Thinking about this section... Zhang Liao's thick voice came out again.
"I repeat once again, this time the entire Youzhou has come out with only one mission - to protect Cao Jun's mission. If the situation is critical and the mission cannot be preserved, then... at least the safety of Yi Xiaotian, the envoy in the mission, must be protected!
If he makes a mistake, there is no need to pick and choose, starting from me, we will all be buried with him!"
Clang, Clang, Clang…
The loud voice resounded throughout the government office.
Tap tap tap…
The vigorous pace made everyone feel excited.
For a time, the entire civil servants and generals in Youzhou were in an uproar. A bigger question arose in their minds? Who is the envoy of this mission, Yi Xiaotian?
Being able to make Cao Sikong value him so much makes General Zhang Liao want to protect him at all costs!
"Yi Xiaotian...Yi Xiaotian!"
Everyone murmured this name.
What followed was a huge question mark on countless eyebrows!
