Zhang Liao has arrived!

Xu Rong was startled at first, that shouldn’t be the case! How could Zhang Liao arrive so quickly, unless——

He crossed the river early.

Immediately he was overjoyed. He was worthy of being the King of Bohai and worthy of being General Zhang Liao! His arrival would undoubtedly reverse the situation again.

"General Zhang!" Xu Rong responded and rode forward.

Xu Rong's troops kept coming out of Yuan Jun's formation and followed Xu Rong forward.

"This battle is quite dangerous. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao went out of his way to get some food and grass. He actually sent seven generals and nearly 20,000 people to come. Moreover, the leader of the Chen Kingdom, King Chen, also led thousands of crossbow troops to participate in the battle. General Fan Chou, You will die at their hands!" Xu Rong and Yuan Shao briefly introduced the troops and informed Zhang Liao as quickly as possible.

Zhang Liao took two steps forward and heard that Yuan's army was powerful, but he still looked calm and said with a smile: "Now, Yuan's army only has six generals."

Saying that, throwing out a head.

Xu Rong took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Rui, one of the three generals of Zhao Luchun.

"Hahaha, General Zhang's action is indeed extraordinary! I feel so honored to be thanked for the help from General!" Xu Rong raised his hands and thanked him.

"General Xu, please don't be polite. The King of Bohai highly praised the general and said that the general is the pillar of the country. How could the Liao Dynasty sit back and watch the general behind bars and be harmed by a group of disobedient people!" Zhang Liao said.

Xu Rong heard Zhang Liao's words and felt that the amount of information contained in them was really huge.

King Bohai admired him very much, and coupled with King Bohai's hint in the previous episode, it can be said that the intention to recruit him was very obvious. Although Xu Rong also admired King Bohai for his young and promising talents and yearned for him, but Dong Gong had a good impression of him. of grace.

In addition, the King of Bohai said that what the Yuan family did was an act of disobedience. Does this mean that the King of Bohai has completely turned to Luoyang?

So, can they jointly attack the Yuan family?

Thinking of this, Xu Rong hurriedly said: "What General Zhang said is absolutely true. I am willing to be the vanguard in a crusade against the enemy!"

Xu Rong thought that with this statement, he should be able to fight the Yuan family decisively. With Zhang Liao joining him, he would have at least an 80% chance of winning.

While the two were talking, all the cavalry fighting had separated, and Wen Chou also led his men to charge forward to confront Zhang Liao and Xurong.

"Who am I talking about? It's General Zhang Liao from Hebei. Could it be that King Bohai intends to renege on his promise after receiving the grain? People say that King Bohai is famous for his trustworthiness. Is this true?" Wen Chou shouted.

Zhang Liaoyin immediately took a few steps forward, looked at the ugly man with a displeased look on his face, and replied sternly: "Yuan Shao only returned to Runan a few days ago, and invaded Dongjun, and now he accuses the King of Bohai of dishonesty. He really knows how to beat him up." ah!"

Xu Huang also stepped forward and said to Wen Chou: "General Wen Chou led his army to enter Dongjun again, but there is no generation gap in Puyang. Do you want to stay for a few more months?"

As the caretaker of Yuan Shaowen, Chou Guo Tu and others, Xu Huang directly killed people when he said these words.

Jiang Wen Chou was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and cursed: "Baibo thief! Don't you think we are afraid of you! Do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?"

Xu Huang sneered and replied: "My defeated generals, how dare you challenge me!"

Wen Chou was so angry that he almost went berserk. He rushed all the way and was about to capture Xu Rong. At this time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang ruined his good deeds. Coupled with Xu Huang's verbal stimulation, Wen Chou's defeat in Hanoi was undoubtedly scarred. He lifted it up again and tore off a piece of bloody flesh.

The most annoying thing is that due to various reasons, Xu Huang, who was Bai Bo's thief at the time, chased them all the way during the Battle of Hanoi. In that battle, Yuan Shao was indeed defeated miserably, and Wen Chou naturally was too.

The most irritating thing is that the former Baibo bandit has now become a general under King Bohai and can talk to him before the battle.

Wen Chou's anger was building up, but he was speechless until Yan Liang and Liu Chong came forward.

Yan Liang still had sense and suppressed the anger of his brother being insulted. He gave Zhang Liao and Xu Huang a courtesy, and then said: "Two generals, our army is only here to meet the food team, and there is no violation of the situation. It is just with Xu Huang."

There was some misunderstanding between Prefect Rong and the swordsmen clashed. Today in front of the two generals, for the sake of King Bohai, let’s put an end to this matter."

Wen Chou glared at Yan Liang, but he didn't expect that his good brother would become scared.

Yan Liang glanced back and made a helpless expression: We know you feel bitter and angry, but my lord’s purpose is to bring the grain team back safely.

Zhang Liao also didn't expect Yan Liang to speak softly and speak so well.

"Do you believe what General Yan Liang said? He was able to 'support' General Fan Chou to death for supplying food and grass, and he was able to 'connect' the prefect of Dongjun to the point of being imprisoned and almost dying. The general is so powerful!" Zhang Liao felt a little weird!

mocked.

Xu Huang felt that this was not enough, so he added: "King Chen is so interested. Could it be that he brought his crossbowmen to hunt? Or did he also support the food team?"

Make excuses for others so that others have no excuses to make.

Liu Chong was not a talkative person, so he responded calmly: "Yuan Gong claimed that someone was disadvantageous to him, so he invited me to help him. Fan Chong broke the rules, blocked the grain team, and was defeated and died. He brought it on himself and cannot blame others.

!”

Yan Liang glanced at him displeased, but did not dare to say it. He still hoped that the battle would be over and the grain team would be brought back. However, King Chen cared about his face and refused to show weakness.

Yan Liang felt a terrible headache.

King Chen's words were extremely unpleasant, especially to Xu Rong's ears. Everyone knew the reason for this matter very well, and none of them were justified. It was all based on interests, so where could there be any reason for it.

Yuan Shaola took away Jizhou's grain. King Bohai ordered him to rob it, but Yuan Jun stopped it. Both sides relied on their own abilities. Up to now, Xu Rong had not said a word about justice for General Fan Chou's escape. What he shouted was revenge.

Because there is no fairness in the conflict of interests.

But at this time, there happened to be a person who took the moral high ground and said that bad rules were to blame, as if his actions were not only a chivalrous act of helping others, but also a defender of rules.

Xu Rong immediately replied: "General Fan Chou is the captain of Dongjun appointed by the imperial court. He is in charge of the military and public security of a county. Within the territory of Dongjun, he is responsible for investigating suspicious people and suspicious troops. You will ambush and kill the imperial officials.

, the general of the county is already guilty of treason!"

Xu Rong immediately put a big hat on him without any objection.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Liu Chong were immediately stunned.

In today's world, powerful men and powerful men are working together, each acting in their own way. Everyone knows that what they do is counterproductive, but verbally, everyone still supports the big man.

"You...you are slandering others! It was obviously Fan Chong who intercepted him first, with evil intentions!" Liu Chong became anxious and had no choice but to throw the blame to the dead man.

Yan Liang was really sweating. Did the lord call him here to add fuel to the fire? What would be the consequences if the conflict continued? He Liu Chong could just shoot crossbows from a distance, but Yan Liang, the troops and horses he had organized, both

After the battle, only a few hundred people were left, and everyone was injured.

Zhang Liao looked at Chen Wang Liu Chong with interest. At the same time, Prince of the Han Dynasty, how come the King of Bohai is so smart and sharp, and this Liu Chong is so good?

Yan Liang had obviously spoken softly and planned to negotiate peace, but for the sake of his own face, he ignored the overall situation and, in the words of the King of Bohai——

Still wearing this outfit!

The two sides were silent for a while, and Yan Liang seized the opportunity and said again: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it is better for us to stop our troops and leave with the grain team later."

Zhang Liao was hesitant. If I let you leave like this, wouldn't my trip be in vain? Wouldn't I be living up to my lord's expectations? Wouldn't it be that I let General Fan Chou die in vain?

"What General Yan Liang said is absolutely true. Big things should be reduced to trivial matters. The King of Bohai has always liked peace and does not like fighting and killing. Therefore, I can agree to General Yan Liang's proposal, but -" Zhang Liao suddenly changed his mind.

"General Yan Liang must agree to this general's unkind request."

"General, please speak."

"General Fan Chou died innocently and deserves a pension. The three thousand soldiers who died in battle with him also need to be compensated. Why don't we deduct these grains from this grain team?"

Although Yan Liang felt something was wrong, he still listened.

"General Fan Chou is a general granted by the imperial court. One year's pension is worth at least a thousand stones. The five generals are worth two hundred stones. There are also Sima Junhou and others, each of whom is fifty stones, which is calculated as two thousand stones. Three

A thousand soldiers, twenty dan per person, a total of 64,000 dan, and a three-year pension, a total of 192,000 dan, what does General Yan Liang think?" After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he felt that he was not only good at arithmetic, but also very convincing with reason.

Yan Liang: One hundred and ninety-two thousand stones...

I have transported a total of 200,000 shi of food. From Zhongshan in Jizhou to now, I have no more than 200,000 shi, but when Zhang Liao opened his mouth, he asked for more than 190,000 shi.

If this number was not prepared, I am afraid Zhang Liao himself would not believe it.

Zhang Liao: I don’t believe it!

"Nearly 200,000 dan, the general is probably joking." Yan Liang said, "The total amount of grain and grass transported this time is less than 200,000 dan."

"Then I'll keep them all! Use them as compensation!" Zhang Liao asserted directly.

Wen Chou glanced at Yan Liang, and his anger almost overflowed from the corners of his eyes: This is it, let's fight!

Yan Liang also felt awkward. He originally thought that Zhang Liao would ask for some compensation for Fan Chong, and he would accept thousands of dan or even tens of thousands of shi. Who expected that Zhang Liao would ask for a full pension...

"The general is joking. If you want to leave all the food team behind, where will we leave our soldiers? We are ordered to protect the food, how can we return empty-handed." Yan Liang gritted his teeth and replied, quite calmly.

Who knew that Zhang Liao's next words would directly break Yan Liang's defense.

"The grain truck is still in Dongjun. Who do you think will return empty-handed?"

"Yan Liang, there is no possibility of peace between my lord and Liu Qing. Zhang Liao came here with his troops to reason with you!" Wen Chou shouted in a low voice, reminding Yan Liang to wake up, give up his illusions, and prepare to fight. Maybe he can snatch some of them back.

Yan Liang suddenly looked back and silently counted his troops.

At this time, there were about 3,000 cavalry left in the tents of Lu Weihuang and Chunyu Qiong. Wen Chou personally led the cavalry, with two battalions of 4,000 men, plus Wen Chou's 1,000 subordinate soldiers, a total of 5,000 men. However, he had only 4,000 cavalrymen under his own account.

There are only 500 cavalry left. As for the infantry, there are still thousands of them in the rear, as well as the 4,000 crossbowmen of King Chen and Liu Chong. However, once the two sides engage in a melee, the crossbowmen are not easy to use. But even so, we still have 10,000 more.

Public.

On the other hand, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao's side had about 2,000 cavalrymen left, but Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's troops were probably 4,000 to 5,000 strong.

In this comparison, our side has an advantage. Coupled with the first-mover advantage of Chen Wang's crossbow machine, perhaps we can fight.

Zhang Liao looked at it from a distance and found that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were muttering something. Looking at the postures, they seemed to be planning an attack. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, he went on the road of shopping, hoping to use some sweet words to get Yan Liang and Wen Chou to hand over the grain truck.

It's indeed a bit whimsical.

"General Zhang, I see that Yuan Jun's formation is in chaos, so it's better to strike first and attack first!" Xu Rong suggested.

Zhang Liao glanced at Xu Huang.
