Chen Zhi heard Ling Cao's shout, turned his head to look, Ling Cao also saw Chen Dao's face, and was surprised, when he asked, "Is it you?" ”

Chen Zhi raised his hand and motioned for the team to stop, but he turned his horse's head and came to the side of a prisoner cart at the back, looked at Ling Cao with an indifferent face, and said, "That's right, it's me!" ”

"How did I end up here? Where are you taking me? General Guan, I want to see General Guan! Ling Cao grabbed the fence of the prisoner cart tightly with both hands and shouted at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi said: "You didn't make an appointment, delayed the military plane, so that the third master was defeated in Wuling, and almost lost his life, not only that, but also made Changsha directly face the crisis of Yan zhòng, the second master was kind-hearted, and did not kill you immediately, but asked me to send you to Nanchang to be handed over to General Sun, which is cheap for you, and you dare to shout here?" ”

When Ling Cao heard the second and third masters that Chen Zhi said, he guessed that they should be Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he immediately refuted: "When I saw General Guan yesterday, didn't I already apologize to General Guan in person, and General Guan said that he was not guilty of the past, why do you want to do this to us?" ”

"The three of you have heavy troops, if the second master doesn't get you drunk first, if you lead your subordinates to make trouble, it will inevitably be a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people will die on both sides at that time." These are the second master's strategies, since you have been captured, stay here honestly, and after sending you to Nanchang, as for me, I will inevitably tell General Sun the truth, and how General Sun will deal with you at that time is not something that the second master can control. Chen Zhi said.

After Ling Cao heard these words. knew that Chen Zhi had no intention of releasing himself at all. At the same time, I feel annoyed that I have done such a wrong thing. Quietly sat in the prisoner car, without saying a word.

A moment later, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang both woke up from their sleep because they were too bumpy, and suddenly found themselves lying in the prison car, which was a burst of screaming.

This time, no one paid attention to them anymore, and Chen Zhi and the others walked towards without saying a word. It was as if Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang's words had sunk into the sea.

Later, it was Ling Cao who stopped Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang's clamour, and told the truth.

When Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang learned that they were going to be escorted to Nanchang and handed over to Sun Quan, they immediately quieted down, deeply feeling that they had gone too far in this matter. Although they have a good relationship with Zhu Ran, this time they just want to embarrass Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they don't want such a thing to happen, which makes them all afraid, if Sun Quan knows the truth, he doesn't know what to do with them.

The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. But they can't complain to anyone, who made them agree to Zhu Ran in the first place.

Speaking of which. This time, it was all Zhu Ran who was behind the scenes, and it was a big deal that they would put all the blame on Zhu Ran when the time came. After all, Zhu Ran is Zhu Zhi's son, and Zhu Zhi is an important minister of the Sun family, at most, Zhu Ran will be dismissed, but his life will not be in danger. But if it were them, it might be a big deal.

As soon as they thought of this, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang glanced at each other, and their hearts were tacit.

It was Ling Cao, who was far away from their prisoner car, and the two of them couldn't pass on the information. When they stopped to rest in the middle, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang told Ling Cao what they were thinking.

Who knows, after Ling Cao heard these words, he became furious and said sharply: "No! Absolutely not! Have you thought about the consequences when you do this? Don't forget, flies don't bite seamless eggs, if we were really invulnerable at that time, no matter what Zhu Ran said, we would never agree. We've already made a mistake, so don't make a mistake again! ”

Pan Zhang said: "Brother Ling, if this is not the case, it is very likely that the three of us will be beheaded!" You know the temper of the lord, but there is no room for half a grain of sand in his eyes, not to mention that the three of us made such a low-level mistake, causing Jingnan to fall into a crisis, how could the lord spare us? ”

Tan Xiong also interjected: "Yes, General Zhu's father is an important minister next to the lord, he has served three lords in succession, and he is regarded by the lord as a person with a humerus, if the facts are made clear, even if the lord is punished, General Zhu's life may not be in danger, and we are different, we don't have any background, if the lord starts a fire, he will definitely die!" ”

"What's wrong with all of you? You weren't greedy for life and afraid of death before, why are you all scared now? The head is gone, but the scar is the size of the bowl, what are you afraid of? Ling Cao said.

Pan Zhang sneered and said, "We're not afraid of death!" We're trying to make a living for ourselves, and it's not worth it if we do die. If the three of us put things up to the top, then General Zhu will definitely get worse in the future. You might as well take this opportunity to teach General Zhu a good lesson, so that he can also have a longer memory! ”

Tan Xiong echoed casually: "Yes, Brother Ling, I think what Brother Pan said is right, you are the eldest brother among us, and several of our brothers are all raised by the lord, so you are the oldest." However, Zhu Ran has never taken Brother Ling in his eyes, he has always been so domineering and domineering, I have long had enough. At the beginning, Brother Ling didn't fail to persuade Zhu Ran, but he still insisted on going his own way, and also threatened us, we can be regarded as a last resort, these things were all done by him, and now that something has happened, he wants us to bear the black pot for him, I won't do it! ”

Ling Cao frowned, what Pan Zhang and Tan Xiong said was also very reasonable, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't complain about others. If you want to blame, you can only blame them for not being firm in their original position, if they really don't want to do it, no matter how much Zhu Ran threatens, it is useless.

Pan Zhang saw that Ling Cao's face was a little moved, so he immediately continued: "Brother Ling, don't forget jì, what did we join the army for, didn't we just want to get ahead." But now are we getting ahead? No! Wouldn't it be too unjust to die now? ”

Tan Xiong echoed casually: "Yes, yes, Brother Ling, we ......"

"Okay, don't say it again, let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer before I arrive in Nanchang." Ling Cao interrupted Tan Xiong's words.

The prisoner car escorted Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong to continue to Nanchang, but along the way, Chen Zhi's heart was always concerned about the situation in Changsha.

In fact, the situation in Linxiang City was not optimistic, and the 30,000 unarmed soldiers who were controlled by Guan Yu did not know what was going on when they woke up and found themselves surrounded by Guan Yu's army. So, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong's generals all gathered at the door of the barracks and asked to see Guan Yu and ask what was going on.

Guan Yu came to the gate of the barracks, confronted their subordinates in person, and explained the reason why he did this, and said that he had escorted Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang to Nanchang in a prisoner car. This is the power given to him by Sun Quan, and he has the right to do so.

When these 30,000 troops heard this, they were all speechless, after all, they were the ones who missed the appointment, and although they encountered heavy rain on the way, they were not even unable to walk. In fact, they knew better than anyone else that they had stayed in Changsha for a few days on purpose.

Then, Guan Yu moved with affection and persuaded the 30,000 army with reason, because he had Sun Quan's letter of appointment in his hand, and his power was to lead the reinforcements brought by Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong from Guangzhou.

This time, Guan Yu is justified. But he always felt that something was missing.

What is it?

In the end, Guan Yu figured out that it was the soldiers' trust in him.

These 30,000 soldiers suddenly changed to a general who led them, and anyone who saw them would feel that there would be some estrangement between them, and it was these estrangements that brought an insurmountable gap and a crisis of trust between Guan Yu and these soldiers.

Although Guan Yu appeased the 30,000 soldiers, how to use them needed to be carefully planned.

It was also around this time that a secret report from the scout disturbed Guan Yu's heart even more.

The secret report was sent from Luo County, saying that Zhang Yan's army had occupied the county seat of Luo County, and that 100,000 troops had come from the Miluo River by boat, and that they would be able to enter Xiangshui tomorrow and reach Linxiang City.

One qiē came so fast, but one qiē was expected by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei was defeated, he lost the strength to contain the enemy, and the enemy could attack them with all his might.

So, Guan Yu immediately summoned all the generals and colonies in the army, including his subordinates, to gather in the big tent of the military camp and began to discuss how to deal with the incoming enemy.

When Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong's subordinates heard that an army of 100,000 was coming, they were all surprised, and they felt a little cowardly in their hearts. Almost all of them were building yì to defend the city and resist the enemy.

Some even built yì to withdraw from Linxiang, retreat to Guiyang, and then slowly figure it out.

Guan Yu was noisy when he heard what they said, so he said directly: "Enough!" Give me all the quiet! ”

The big tent was silent and quiet, but there was a look of worry in countless pairs of eyes.

An army of 100,000 is indeed not a small number, and there are 800 warships. This number is not accurate, but it is only a little, because when the scout is watching in the river, he cannot see the end at a glance.

Everyone sat there quietly, and finally focused all their eyes on Guan Yu.

Guan Yu glanced at everyone present, there were familiar faces and unfamiliar faces, but no matter what, he was now the leader of these people, and he had to pay attention to it.

After a short silence, Guan Yu stood up directly and said loudly: "Pass the order, gather all the armies, and prepare to go out!" (To be continued......)
