The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 573
Zhang Liao rushed to Xiahoushang's camp, but was misunderstood by Xiahoushang. He thought carefully, Cao's army around Zhang Liao was completely wiped out, and not even one person was released. Only he, the important general, came back. Also a little too weird.

If it's just that, that's all!Even if Zhang Liao was unparalleled in bravery, it would be considered his luck to break out of the siege of the rebel army with unreasonable courage, but Zhang Liao didn't even have a horse by his side, so he walked back on foot, and his leg was seriously injured, so he couldn't walk fast?Could it be that he was killed out of this state?
Are Yuan Jun's cavalry all idiots?
To be honest, although Zhang Liao and Xia Houshang were the masters and subordinates back then, there was a gap in themselves. What's more, Cao Cao once ordered Xiahoushang to monitor Zhang Liao as his deputy. Yuan Shang interfered with the death of the two, resulting in a record of big fights between the two.

So, if someone else came back, Xia Houshang wouldn't think so much, but if it was Zhang Liao, Xia Houshang would not let him go.

"There must be something wrong with this matter... Zhang Liao is probably Yuan Shang's spy! He came back to deceive my camp!" Xia Houshang gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Next to Xia Houshang, a lieutenant general said: "General, although this matter is strange, we should not jump to conclusions. Zhang Liao has always been loyal and loyal since he returned from Lv Bu's command. , As Guo Jijiu's deputy, he has been fighting bravely and never brought it with him. Now that he is defeated and returned, the general should not assume that he is a traitor, so it is not easy to explain to the prime minister."

Xia Houshang hummed, and said: "Then you don't understand Zhang Liao. This man, when the First Lord was alive, said that he had evil intentions and often had the intention of disobeying ministers. He ordered me to wait for my close clansmen to investigate carefully. !"

What Xia Houshang said is too big, what is the heart of disobedience and evil, Cao Cao never said such a thing back then, but now that everyone is dead, he belongs to Xiahou's relatives, everyone can't help but believe it for seven days Eight points.

After a long time, a lieutenant asked cautiously: "General, what should we do now?"

Xia Houshang thought for a while, and said: "Catch him and imprison him! Let him report to the prime minister and ask him to make a decision."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

The deputy general hurriedly said: "General, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to act like this... After all, we have no evidence."

"Then what do you say? Let this guy come to my camp to run wild?"

The deputy general thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you welcome them into the camp for now, and then send people to monitor more to see what their purpose is? If you really have objections, it's not too late to make a fuss."

Xia Houshang felt that this method was a bit too troublesome. According to his thinking, it would be better to directly arrest Zhang Liao for questioning, and then quickly ask him to kill him. It is indeed just his own subjective thoughts, and there is no real evidence at present. After thinking about it, the deputy general's remarks are indeed the safest and most reasonable approach at the moment, but in desperation, he has no choice but to agree.

***************************
At this moment, on the road leading to Xiahoushang's camp, Zhang Liao was clenching his teeth and walking slowly step by step. His leg injury was simply bandaged by himself. Although the bleeding was stopped, the The severe pain was still unbearable, but despite this, he still persevered and walked forward with all his strength.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of him. Zhang Liao looked up, but saw a cavalry troop galloping towards him from the front. Judging by their uniforms and banners, they were indeed soldiers and horses of their own side. undoubtedly.

After a while, I saw the cavalry coming in front of Zhang Liao. The leader of the cavalry got off his horse and bowed his hands to Zhang Liao, saying respectfully: "General Zhang, I have ordered General Xiahou to come here to welcome General Zhang into the camp. The general has worked hard all the way, please get on your horse quickly."

Zhang Liao had to be on guard against Yuan Jun's pursuers all the way. He was like a frightened bird. He had a very hard time. Now that he saw his own troops and heard these words, his whole heart couldn't help but fall back into his chest.

At that moment, everyone no longer hesitated, invited Zhang Liao to mount his horse, and followed him back to Xia Houshang's military stronghold.

At this moment, Xia Houshang is quite different from the previous one. When he saw Zhang Liao, although he was full of disgust, he also smiled and showed great concern. He personally stepped forward to welcome Zhang Liao off his horse, and said with concern: " General Zhang, the last general has a military order in his body, and he dare not leave the camp without authorization, so that the general has suffered such a calamity, he is really ashamed, I hope the general can understand."

Zhang Liao shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Boren, you are embarrassing me. I was going to be counted by Yuan Shang in Xuzhou. The soldiers and horses were completely destroyed, and only one person was left alone. It is really... hey!"

Having said that, Zhang Liao felt ashamed and shook his head in frustration.

Turning over and getting off the horse, as soon as his legs and feet hit the ground, Zhang Liao frowned and gasped.

Xia Houshang squinted his eyes all the time, seeing Zhang Liao like this, he changed his mind and said, "General Zhang, who caused the injury on your leg?"

Zhang Liao didn't want to say more about this matter, he shook his head and said, "It's Yuan Jun's Ma Chao..."

Ma Chao?

Xia Houshang thought for a moment, then sneered three times in his heart, secretly said Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, you really think of me as a fool, Ma Chao is the number one fierce general in Xizhou, if you fall like this under his hands Big somersault, can he still let you live?It's a joke!Besides, you have no serious injuries all over your body, but it happened to be on your leg. Was this wound stabbed by Ma Chao, or did you do it yourself?
Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Houshang didn't show it on his face. He said with concern: "General Zhang can go back on foot after suffering this injury, and he is a real husband! Come here, quickly order the medical officer to show it to General Zhang Liao Injury, then prepare food and drink, pack up the tent, and ask General Zhang to rest!"

Zhang Liao apologized, and then walked into the camp with the support of the soldiers, while Xia Houshang, with his hands behind his back, looked coldly at the direction in which he disappeared.

"Quickly dispatch scouts to investigate carefully within a radius of tens of miles to see what Yuan Jun's movements are and whether there have been any changes recently."

"promise!"

**********************
Xia Houshang welcomed Zhang Liao into the camp, and Yuan Shang was also making intensive plans.

The collapse of Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, and the retreat of Soochow made the land of Xuzhou completely exposed to Yuan Jun's eyes. Although there are still cities that have not been brought into Yuan Shang's hands, there is no hindrance in the overall situation. One city, one pool The gains and losses of Yuan Shang no longer needed Yuan Shang's arrangements, but the full authority was handed over to Zhang He. Zhuo Qi arranged and dispatched the generals of Yuan Jun's various ministries to capture the entire territory of Xuzhou, and sent Pang Ji to temporarily take charge of Xuzhou's government affairs.

On Yuan Shang's side, he began to take the next step against Xia Houshang and Zhang Liao.

This time, Yuan Shang sent Sun Qing and Wang Dang as two generals, each with a soldier and horse, and began to slowly press the territory into Xia Houshang's investigation range, but he was not in a hurry to attack his camp, but swayed from east to west, northwest, northwest, and southeast. , not attacking or attacking, just swaying left and right, it really makes people stunned.

When the news came back to Xiahoushang, Xiahoushang became suspicious immediately. Yuan Jun prepared his troops and sneaked around the border with unruly intentions, but he chose not to attack. What kind of trick is this playing?What trick?
If it was changed to the original one, Xia Houshang would definitely not be able to understand Yuan Shang's thoughts, but this time, he was preconceived and the supervisor made assumptions. Thinking of Zhang Liao's strange return, an idea was deeply implanted in his mind. middle.

Yuan Jun is not in a hurry to attack, is he waiting for Zhang Liao's signal?Doesn't this traitor want to be an internal response in our army and do that dirty thing?
Once the thought came together, it immediately seemed to take root and sprout, and it would never go away.

Ever since, Xia Houshang hurriedly found the deputy general and discussed with him about this time.

After hearing Xia Houshang's narration, the deputy general was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, saying: "Whether this matter is true or not, it must be guarded against. If Zhang Liao is really an internal response, then Yuan Jun must be waiting for the opportunity. Strengthen your guard first, and then see how Yuan Shang used his strategy, and then it will not be too late to make a conclusion!"
