Han Xiang

Chapter 443

Originally trying to contain Cao Jun, he only needed to unilaterally calculate Zhang Liao.

In order to establish a relationship with Tai Shici, Long Xiang specially adopted Lu Su's combination plan.

Since Tai Shici settled in Liyang last year, Long Xiang wrote several times to want to make friends with him, but Tai Shici is like a stone girl who has no desires and desires, and his enthusiasm for Long Xiang is extremely indifferent, let alone an appointment to meet and talk in detail.

Both Zhang Liao and Tai Shici are admired by Long Xiang, but it is not the same difficulty to help Liu Bei dig them over.

Cao Cao did not have Liu Bei's benevolence, and he would punish the family members of generals who defected to the enemy.

Zhang Liao was in Shouchun at this time, and he and his family members were all in Xudu. If he really defected to other forces at will, it would mean that his family members would be implicated.

Regardless of how loyal Zhang Liao is to Cao Cao, it is very difficult to shake his family members as hostages.

The situation of Tai Shici was different. He was ordered to guard Haihun not long after he joined Sun Ce. His wife, children and family members were with him all year round.

As for his loyalty to the Sun family, Tai Shici was by no means deadly loyal.

In history, Sun Ce was left idle in the sea, and finally died of depression and anger. Although this world has moved a place, the friendship with the new owner Sun Quan is very shallow.

Long Xiang thought that if he swung his hoe well, he might be able to win a general for Liu Bei.

Especially when Liu Bei asked himself to replace Sun Quan, Long Xiang's thoughts became more and more intense.

This time, Tai Shici planned to send troops. He thought that there would be no rear army at all. It didn't matter if he could defeat Zhang Liao in an explosive way. Once he lost the battle, he would be reprimanded by Sun Quan.

Long Xiang intends to lend a helping hand to send charcoal in the snow when Tai Shici is in trouble.

The effect is like a lovelorn goddess in distress. The savior is a high-quality native who pursues himself. Even if he can't agree with him on the spot, he will definitely leave an excellent impression.

Although suspected of taking advantage of others, Long Xiang will not stick to small details.

On a larger scale, Tai Shici followed Sun Quan as if he was a thief, he could neither honor his family nor be loyal to the country;
To put it bluntly, Tai Shici has no foundation in Jiangdong. I believe it will be difficult to get into the inner circle.

If Long Xiang can win Tai Shici, he can use Hua Tuo to help him live a few more years at the last time, so that he won't die at the age of 40.

With the intention of being a "flower protector", Long Xiang not only did not let the Huwei battalion relax, but also notified the non-city defense forces in Hefei that there might be combat missions in the near future, and asked all troops to be on standby.

Tai Shici deliberately avoided Hefei, but he didn't know that there were eyes on him, and Cao Xing was watching his every move.

Walking near Mount Yun, Tai Shici suddenly raised his hand to stop his horse, and stopped behind him.

Lieutenant General Zhao Fan was at the end of the line, and when he saw the army suddenly stop, he rode to the front to ask Tai Shici.

Just as Zhao Fan was about to speak, Tai Shici made a booing gesture and twisted his neck strangely.

"Bochang, is this the direction to Tianzhu Mountain? I faintly heard shouts in the valley ahead." Tai Shici smelled the murderous aura in the wind, and he was unwilling to move forward for safety.

Zhao Fan nodded slightly: "According to the situation before departure, if you go around the valley for dozens of miles from here, you can see the strange mountain like a pillar of heaven, but why didn't I hear the sound?"

Tai Shici then closed his eyes and used his ears to feel the subtle sound.

After a while, Tai Shici suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to the front and said: "I heard some horseshoes, maybe Mei Cheng came to pick us up, and ordered the whole army to line up first."

"Wei." Zhao Fanyan turned around and left.

Da da da.
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and it turned out to be scattered cavalry, and the leader was Mei Cheng, the leader of the bandit. When he saw the formation of soldiers outside the valley, he almost fell off his horse in fright.

When he found the word "Tai Shi" on the flag, Mei Cheng was as happy as eating candy again.

"Haha, it's General Taishi, our reinforcements have arrived."

"This guy."

Tai Shici's eyesight and hearing are very good. Seeing Mei Cheng dancing, he didn't know how to deal with it. He thought, don't you want to get a certificate?Why do you look so embarrassed?
While Tai Shici was thinking, there was a pursuer coming from behind Mei Cheng, and it was Zhang Liao who destroyed his stronghold.

Mei Cheng had heard about the battle at Shenting Ridge, and he had a backing like Tai Shici, so he made an extremely unwise decision at that time, that is, he did not choose to continue running for his life, but stopped to show off his might to Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao, General Taishi has come to save me. If you don't want to die, let my wife and children go."

"Tai Shici? I hit Tai Shici, as for your family members who stayed on the mountain"

Only halfway through the key words, Zhang Liao suddenly raised his sword and rode his horse straight to take Mei Cheng.

This action directly frightened Mei Cheng, thinking how can there be such a beast who doesn't talk about martial arts?After reacting, when he reined in his horse and turned around, Zhang Liao was only one horse away from him, and it was too late to give instructions to his mount when his mind wanted to escape from his body.

"I, Zhang Liao, like to do good deeds, so naturally I want to send you to reunite with your family."

When Mei Cheng heard the answer, he felt a gust of cold wind on the back of his neck, and then watched helplessly as his head fell apart.

Beheading Mei Cheng in front of Tai Shici, Zhang Liao was even more sure that the two had been hooking up, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to save people, and Shaopi's account for destroying the land would also be charged to the other party.

Seeing that Tai Shici had not moved in formation, Zhang Liao asked his soldiers to pick up the head from the ground, and then he held a knife in one hand and the head in the other, and urged his horse to slowly approach the enemy formation.

Cao Jun chased out from the valley one after another, and it would be easy to suffer if he didn't form an formation. Zhang Liao had to hold back Tai Shici at this time to give his soldiers time to form an formation.

"General, that seems to be Zhang Liao. No wonder Mei Cheng wants to beg for surrender. It turns out that he has a deadly enmity with Cao Jun."

"Mei Cheng once killed the assassin Shi Yan Xiang, how could Cao Cao's people tolerate him?"

"Since Mei Cheng was beheaded, what should we do now? Should we retreat or attack?"

"Let's take a look first. The appearance of Zhang Liao here means that Shouchun's army is empty. Let's drag him here to buy time for the lord to attack Shouchun."

"Oh, this guy actually came here"

"You restrained the soldiers on your behalf, let me meet this person, is it as rumored."

"Ah."

During the conversation between Tai Shici and Zhao Fan, Zhang Liao urged his horse to slowly come to the front of the formation.

I saw Mei Cheng's head being held up high, followed by Zhang Liao's mocking voice: "Poor thief, he still muttered before he died, Tai Shici turned out to be a cold-blooded person, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he saw his companions being killed." .”

"Hmph, Zhang Liao, you don't have to provoke me, Tai Shici is upright, how could he become companions with bandits?"

"Open and aboveboard? Haha"

Zhang Liao thought of the burned rice fields, and his laughter was full of anger. He shook his head and continued to tease: "What a bright and upright Tai Shici, who secretly communicated with Mei Cheng to destroy my rice fields, and even uttered nonsense before the battle. What a shame! It's a shame to laugh."

Tai Shici was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that Zhang Liao's rice fields were destroyed?Did Mei Cheng learn from Chen Lan?It's a pity that I can't retreat like Chen Lan.
