A clever person has more than one plan.

There are not so many in Zhanghe, there are only two caves.

In the past few days, Zhang He has obviously felt Zhao Kuangyin's abnormality, cultivating cronies in the team and winning over private parties. After Tai Shici left Wuguan, Zhao Kuangyin had already taken away the military power of several partial generals without incident, and promoted his henchmen to the position.

And Zhang He also found that there were more scouts going west than usual in the past few days, saying that they were going to spy on intelligence, but looking at the panicked expression, as well as the dry food bags he carried, it looked like a costume for a thousand miles.

But Zhang He had no conclusive evidence, so he could only plan to wait for Chang Yuchun to come and react to Zhao Kuangyin's abnormality. But I didn't expect that Chang Yuchun would never be seen again after only seeing each other after entering the customs, and that was when he was greeted outside the Wuguan Gate, because of Zhao Kuangyin's presence, Zhang He was inconvenient to say more. When he turned around, he looked for an opportunity to visit the door, but was politely rejected by the soldiers guarding the door, saying that General Chang was unwell and would not see the guests.

This disappointed Zhang He, and revised a letter the evening before yesterday, reporting Zhao Kuangyin's abnormal behavior and Chang Yuchun's dereliction of duty to Xue Rengui. Although Xue Rengui is not Zhang He's immediate boss, he is the general of Zhenbei and ranks fourth among the generals of the Han Dynasty, second only to Li Jing, the general of the expedition, Yue Fei, the general of the expedition, and Qin Qiong, the general of the expedition, and the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven. If he comes forward, Zhang He believes that he will be able to suppress Zhao Kuangyin.

It is only 570 miles from Wuguan to Wancheng, but it is close to 900 miles to Xiangyang. Moreover, Zhang He and Yue Fei are relatively strangers, but they came all the way from Qingzhou with Xue Rengui, and they have a good relationship in private, even if Zhang He's information is wrong. also believed that Xue Rengui would tolerate him, so Zhang He chose to report to Xue Rengui.

After quietly sending a messenger. Zhang He is still not at ease. The left eyelid kept beating, which gave Zhang He an extra heart. I quietly bought a house across an alley behind my house, and after dark, I would go out the back door and sleep in the newly bought house. The whereabouts were so mysterious that even Zhang He's own soldiers were not aware of it.

The night was dark, and at about three o'clock, the autumn rain still kept falling.

Suddenly, a sound of uniform footsteps woke Zhang He from his sleep, hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, quietly walked out of the room, and came to the courtyard to listen to the movement outside. "Shhh...... The person who came is not good, is Zhao Kuangyin trying to rebel? ”

"What are you going to do? This is General Zhang's mansion! "The person who questioned him was the soldier who was in charge of guarding Zhang He's house.

Then there was a scream, and a shout of killing, and the sound of more than a dozen Zhang He's personal soldiers falling to the ground in pain, led by Hu Yanqing, who loudly commanded his subordinates to surround Zhang He's mansion: "Zhang He colluded with Sun Ce to rebel, and came to arrest him in the name of the two generals Chang and Zhao, and those who surrendered will not die!" ”

"This Zhao Kuangyin is reversed, and Chang Yuchun is also reversed nine times out of ten! I'm going to get out of here! ”

Think of it. Zhang He didn't care about going back to the room to get dressed, just wearing a white middle coat, that is, **, foot soap boots. Walked over the wall, and ran quickly along another alley towards the east gate of Wuguan. The general on duty is called Liu Neng, and the relationship with Zhang He is not bad. Zhang He believes that he should be able to leave.

Although the rain in the sky was dripping, the city of Wuguan was already in chaos.

The trumpet sounded. That was the signal to gather the army, and Zhang He didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun wanted to do. But he can't go back, so it's better to save his life first.

The rain from the horse's hooves splashed, and a cavalry team of hundreds of people swept through the alley in front of Zhang He, who hurriedly hid under a large locust tree to avoid the sight of the cavalry. Seeing that the door was close at hand, he didn't dare to come out again.

The leader of the team was Hu Yanzan, who led the team to sweep to the gate like a gust of wind, and said loudly to the guard Liu Neng: "I am ordered to take over the east gate, you can go and assemble." And Zhang He has never been out of the customs, right? ”

"This east gate has been guarded by the last general, why suddenly change the guard?" Liu Neng questioned, "What did General Zhang He do again?" Why can't I get out of the country? ”

"The two generals have orders, and those who violate the orders will be beheaded!"

Before Hu Yanzan's words fell, a single whip with his left hand hit Liu Neng's head fiercely, and his brain suddenly burst and he died. The soldiers who guarded the door were so frightened that they didn't know why their families suddenly killed each other?

"Zhao Kuangyin is going to be ruthless, it seems that the east gate can't get out!"

Zhang He turned around and left, disappearing into the vast dark night along the alley. Passing by a cloth shop, he gritted his teeth and kicked the door open, rushed into the shop, and snatched a roll of cloth from the shopkeeper's pig-killing shouts.

Zhang He has been in Wuguan for half a month, not to mention that he knows it well, and he is familiar with it, which place on the city wall is the most suitable for getting out of the pass, Zhang He can't be clearer anymore. Running wildly in the rain, he escaped the soldiers who searched for him, and quickly climbed a city wall, tied the end of the cloth to the gap in the battlements, and then threw the cloth from the wall nearly ten feet.

At this time, a soldier found Zhang He and hurriedly came over to check: "Who is it?" ”

"Oh, it's General Zhang, I don't know what you're going to do?" Because the area they were guarding was relatively remote, these soldiers had not yet received an order to arrest Zhang He, so they were very puzzled by Zhang He's behavior and asked in confusion.

"Defend your city, don't ask!"

Zhang He's face was cold, and while talking, he grabbed the cloth with both hands, and slowly fell down the city wall to the ground. He didn't care about tearing off the cloth, he quickly turned around and ran eastward, disappearing into the vast rain curtain.

The horns of Wuguan rose one after another, piercing the sky, and the unknown soldiers woke up from their dreams one after another, and they all braved the autumn rain to assemble on the school ground, thinking that it was a sneak attack by the enemy, but the wind and waves outside the gate were calm, and there was no trace of the enemy?

Soon, Zhao Guangyi and Hu Yanqing, who led the troops to capture Zhang He, learned the news of Zhang He's escape, and Hu Yanqing said: "Since Zhang He got away with it, let him die!" The lord has already sounded the horn, assembled the team, and prepared to brave the rain overnight to the west, so don't worry about it! ”

"No way!" Zhao Guangyi's eyes were cold and vicious, "When I was training a few days ago, Zhang He once reprimanded me in front of thousands of soldiers, saying that I formed a party for personal gain, and cronyism, rather than being virtuous and capable!" Hum...... Today I'm going to get my lost face back! Zhang He walked over the wall, with neither horses nor cars, so he couldn't go far. I led the light cavalry to chase, I think it will not take a moment to catch up, you inform my brother, let him first carry the team out of the customs to the west, after I kill Zhang He, I will lead the cavalry to catch up! ”

"Open and close the door, come with me!"

As the autumn rain gradually subsided, Zhao Guangyi turned over his horse and led hundreds of cavalry out of Wuguan, holding pine oil torches to search for Zhang He along the way.

On the empty school field in Wuguan, 30,000 Han troops gathered overnight, waiting for the order of their superiors, one by one they were drenched in rain, and their faces were dazed, I don't know why they suddenly assembled the whole army in the middle of the night.

Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun were all dressed up, and came to the center of the school field surrounded by Hu Yanzan, Zhao Pu and other cronies. Glancing at the soldiers of the three armies with a stern gaze, Zhao Kuangyin strode out and said in a loud voice: "I just received the edict from the Son of Heaven last night, and the Luoyang rebels attacked Ma Teng very urgently, and Ma Teng asked the court for help. Therefore, the Holy Lord sent a certain and General Chang to lead the Wuguan garrison to rush to the aid of Xiliang in the starry night, assist Ma Teng and Han Sui to resist the Luoyang army, and immediately raise troops, there must be no mistake! ”

After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's words, there was a lot of discussion on the school field: "No, from Wuguan to Xiliang, it is nearly two thousand miles away, how can the Luoyang Army let me wait for Shun to arrive?" Besides, Wuguan is a fortress in Jingxiang, if the army withdraws, who will guard it? ”

"The military order is like a mountain, and the holy decree is brilliant. Whoever dares to say more will be forgiven! ”

With Zhao Kuangyin's order, Hu Yanqing, who had just returned, led the team to arrest a few low-level officers who were making a lot of trouble from the crowd, and showed them in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the three armies were all awe-inspiring.

Zhao Kuangyin continued to speak loudly: "As a soldier, you should take obedience to orders as your duty!" There is an order in the saint, I, Zhao Kuangyin and General Chang Yuchun, only know how to carry out the order, who dares to comment on right or wrong? In the same way, as sergeants, you should also carry out the orders of the emperor and the orders of the commander! The whole army packed up the grain and grass and baggage, and immediately marched out of the pass to the west. ”

Under the strong suppression of Zhao Kuangyin's troops and the deception of the false proclamation, the 30,000 Han troops silently packed their bags and baggage, loaded all the more than 100,000 stone grain in the Wuguan granary, separated from Wuguan at dawn, and walked westward on the muddy road under their feet.

Chang Yuchun urged the team to hurry up, and complained to Zhao Guangyi: "I said that your second child is really a pig's brain, Zhang He ran away, and he won't come until now, if the news leaks." Xue Rengui or Yue Fei sent cavalry to chase after them, and unbunked our trick of pretending to pass on the holy decree, no one should think about leaving! ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a confident smile: "Second brother, don't worry, I have already sent someone to inform Lu Bu two days ago, and I will abandon Wuguan and leave within three days." Pinching his fingers and calculating, Lu Bu is estimated to lead the cavalry from Hangu Pass to Wuguan to receive the checkpoint this morning, and the Han army will be sad at that time. We are waiting for the birds to go up to the clouds, the fish into the sea, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, how famous it can be, it depends on our brothers' ability! ”

After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's words, Chang Yuchun was relieved, and he opened the way in front of Hu Yanqing at the moment; Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu sat in the Chinese army, and after the Huyanzan Palace, they marched westward with 30,000 horses. Anyway, Zhao Guangyi led the cavalry, no matter whether Zhang He could be caught or not, it was estimated that it would not take long to catch up; As long as Lu Bu's men and horses rushed to Wuguan to block the checkpoint, they would no longer have any scruples.
