Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 394 Zhang Liao!

Five days later, it was Lu Bu's concubine, Madam Ren, her 30th birthday.

Lu Bu celebrated grandly in his mansion.

Zhang Sui followed Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, to the mansion to attend the celebratory banquet.

At the banquet, Zhang Sui met Lu Wen and Mrs. Du again.

However, Zhang Sui did not go up to say hello.

When Lu Wen saw Zhang Sui, she wanted to step forward.

But when she saw Mrs. Ren looking at her with a smile, Lu Wen stopped again.

She thought of what her father had told her a few days ago: her father had sent Qin Yilu as an envoy to Shouchun to discuss marriage with Yuan Shu again.

In other words, she still had to marry Yuan Shu's son.

At this time, although I am unwilling, I still have to keep a distance from Doudong to prevent misunderstandings.

She doesn't care about reputation or what others say.

But if this resulted in the marriage not being completed smoothly, she would be letting her father down, so she didn't dare to do that.

On the day after Mrs. Ren's 30th birthday, Lu Bu led his army to Pei County to deal with the army of Yuan Shao's son-in-law that had already headed south!

On the same day, Tian Feng sent an envoy with a letter: Xu Rong, leading Zhang Sui's 1,000 cavalry, has rushed to the road from Xiaopei to Shouchun, and is ready to meet Chen Gong's 3,000 elite troops heading south to Shouchun.

On the fourth day after Lu Bu left Xia Pi, information came from Pei County: Yuan Shao's son-in-law's "hundred thousand troops" were coming, divided into Pengcheng and Pei County!

The entire Xia Pi city suddenly fell into panic.

That evening, Chen Deng found Zhang Sui and gave him the location and layout of Wei Xu's mansion. He asked Zhang Sui to prepare to bring people to attack Wei Xu's family, while Chen Deng himself would begin to spread the rumor that Lu Bu had died in battle in the city.

As for the Chen family, most of them had already evacuated from Xia Pi City at this time.

Zhang Sui transferred thirty personal guards from outside the city, all of whom were powerful people in Changshan County. They followed the location given by Chen Deng and found themselves near Wei Xu's family, and then they all lay in ambush.

Two days later, rumors began to spread in Xia Pi City that both Pei County and Pengcheng were defeated by the army of Yuan Shao's son-in-law, and that Lu Bu had died in the battle.

Many people also escaped from Pengcheng and confirmed that Pengcheng had been occupied.

The entire Xia Pi city was in chaos.

At Lu Bu's residence, Madam Wei, Lu Wen, and Madam Ren were all in a panic.

Lu Wen rode his horse directly to Pei County to seek evidence.

Cheng Lian, the commander of the Xia Pi City Defense Force, immediately ordered the army to arrest the people in the city who were spreading the news that Lu Bu had died in battle, and captured dozens of people.

At the same time, in the residential area east of the city, Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu said goodbye to his family and arranged hundreds of troops to strengthen patrols near the mansion.

He hurried to the camp outside the east city with his personal guards.

He controlled the 700-man Xianchen camp that originally belonged to Gao Shun, as well as 10,000 elite troops.

Once the news spreads to the military, the consequences will be disastrous.

He had to restrain generals such as Hou Cheng and Song Xian and keep a good eye on their soldiers.

Before receiving definite news confirming that Lu Bu had died in battle, he could not allow his soldiers to have any possibility of mutiny.

Of course, if it is really confirmed that Lu Bu died in battle, then he would take 700 soldiers from the Formation Trap and 10,000 elite troops to lobby Cheng Lian, the commander of the city defense army, to support him in taking over Xuzhou and becoming the new lord of Xuzhou.

After Wei Xu led his army out of the city, three hundred steps away from Wei Xu's residence, in a house, Zhang Sui was playing cards with Guo Jia and Chen Deng.

Tian Yu walked in quickly and said, "The people have already left the city."

Zhang Sui threw a deck of "four threes" and said, "Tell Zilong to be ready and act as soon as it gets dark. Be quick."

"Don't leave any of the troops at the door alive."

Tian Yu responded and walked out.

Zhang Sui, Chen Deng, and Guo Jia played Landlord three more times before Zhang Sui stopped and said, "That's it. I'm going to help out, too. More people means more strength."

Chen Deng and Guo Jia stood up, picked up the armor from the table beside them, and helped Zhang Sui put it on.

Next came the red tasseled spear made of thousands of refined steel given by Sima Yi's father Sima Fang.

Zhang Sui turned his spear around, feeling quite emotional.

With this action today, everything will change.

Finally, he put on his helmet and face armor, and said to Chen Deng and Guo Jia: "The two military advisors are waiting for my good news here."

After bidding farewell to Chen Deng and Guo Jia, Zhang Sui left the mansion. The moonlight tonight was quite bright.

Zhang Sui walked out of the mansion, and a shadow was looming.

In the entire east part of the city, there is not a single person on the streets at night.

Zhang Sui walked to the door of Wei Xu's house, about a hundred steps away, holding the red tasseled spear.

Looking from a distance, one could only see dark shadows but could not make out their faces clearly.

Zhang Sui did not move forward, but looked quietly in the direction of Wei Xu's gate.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, a series of "cooing" and "cooing" sounds were heard.

The soldiers at the door of Wei Xu immediately became alert.

"There's movement!"

"Be careful around you!"

Inside Wei Xu's mansion, a group of men, women, young and old, heard the noise outside and their faces turned pale.

They all gathered towards the hall.

At the entrance of the hall stood a dozen soldiers in armor.

The leading man was nearly 1.80 meters tall, with narrow eyes. He held a ring-handled sword in his right hand, and wiped the blade back and forth on the armor in his left hand.

Seeing Wei Xu's family members pouring into the hall, the leading man said in a deep voice: "Madam, gentlemen, and ladies, don't be afraid."

"General Wei had already anticipated this possibility, so he asked me, Zhang Liao, to stay here."

"This time I am bringing twenty elite soldiers, fully armored."

"These people are all veterans I brought with me from Bingzhou. They have experienced hundreds of battles and are fearless of death."

"There are city defense troops outside again."

"If the fighting here lasts for a long time, the city defense forces will definitely pay attention."

"As long as I, Zhang Liao, am here, ladies, gentlemen, and young ladies have nothing to fear."

"The troops outside should also send someone to notify the city defense forces."

"Just wait a moment, everything will be over-"

Zhang Liao had just finished speaking when a shrill scream broke the tranquility of the night.

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The person who came was fully prepared, this is!

This scream should have been from the soldiers outside the courtyard wall rushing to the city defense army for help.

After this scream, several more screams were heard.

The troops near the wall of Wei Xu's residence quickly stopped patrolling and retreated towards the wall to resist the enemy attack.

Just as they approached the courtyard wall, they heard a continuous "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound.

In the darkness, dozens of feather arrows flashed coldly, killing dozens of soldiers who were close to the courtyard wall on the spot.

Hundreds of episodes suddenly fell into chaos.

They looked around in horror.

The next moment, dozens of figures appeared in the shadows, reflecting the cold moonlight, rushing towards them!

They were all iron-clad figures wearing armor and holding ring-handled swords or spears.

Even wearing heavy armor could not stop them from running fast.

They rushed into the troops, swinging their weapons continuously.

Amid screams, they quickly ended the fight and ran straight into the mansion.

At the entrance of the hall, Zhang Liao was waiting with twenty veterans who were also wearing armor.

When the two sides met, there was no nonsense and they charged straight at each other!
Zhang Sui heard the sound of fighting inside and rushed in with his red tasseled spear in hand.

The shadow follows closely behind.
