Outside Guoting City.
Liu Bei immediately returned after destroying the embankment, but it was still a step too late. When he returned to the city, he only saw Zhang Heng standing there alone.
"Mr. Xuande."
Zhang Heng bowed his hand to Liu Bei.
"Ziyi, where are the others?" Liu Bei asked as he dismounted.
"It's time to go on an expedition." Zhang Heng said with a smile.
Liu Bei said a little depressed: "So fast!"
He hurried and hurried slowly, just to get back before sending out troops, but who would have thought that it would still be too late.
"Soldiers are quick, so it's always good to hurry up." Zhang Heng looked at Liu Bei's depressed expression and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and shrugged.
Liu Bei could only nod helplessly, "Then we have nothing to do now?"
"That's not quite true."
"Oh, is Ziyi planning to go and watch the battle?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
Zhang Heng shook his head. The battlefield was a mess in the dark night, with enemy troops scattered everywhere. It was not a good idea to rush there.
Thinking about it, Zhang Heng raised his head again and looked at the dark night sky, but it was so deep that it was disturbing.
It's so dark, it must be dawn soon.
"There is an important matter right now. Only Xuande Gong can go there in person to show our sincerity." Zhang Heng said with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked confused.
Zhang Heng smiled and softly uttered four words.
"Be holy before others."
…
Inside Guoting City.
Chen Gong and the others were in a peaceful sleep, but suddenly they felt a loud noise. When they hurriedly opened their eyes, they saw that the door was opened, and several black figures walked in from the outside.
No, the enemy has entered the city!
Chen Gong was indeed a smart man. Even though he was not completely awake, he immediately thought of a possibility. He broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.
But the dark shadow didn't give him a chance to react. He rushed up and grabbed Chen Gong's arm.
Chen Gong was so anxious that he wanted to resist, but he couldn't break free at all.
At this time, the words spoken by Heiying completely made Chen Gong stop struggling.
"Gongtai, hurry up, come with me!"
The moment he heard Liu Bei's voice, Chen Gong stopped struggling, and the panic in his heart instantly turned into doubt.
"Mr. Xuande, what are you..."
"It's too late to explain. Follow me out quickly." Liu Bei's voice was full of urgency.
Chen Gong quickly asked: "But the enemy has entered the city?"
Liu Xuande had previously boasted in public that the enemy would be defeated in just two or three days. How could he let the enemy invade the city?
"Not really." Liu Bei shook his head.
Hearing this, Chen Gong let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, but felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
The enemy has not entered the city, so why are you coming here in the middle of the night to torment me?
"But that's about it." Liu Bei said again.
"ah!"
Chen Gong's mood was up and down like a roller coaster, and his eyes when he looked at Liu Bei were full of resentment.
You can die if you don't speak loudly and breathe hard!
Chen Gong hurriedly stood up and looked for his boots. At the same time, he did not forget to ask: "Mr. Xuande, where are the enemy troops now?"
"Oh, Gongtai, why are you asking so many questions? Just leave quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry."
"Please allow me to change my clothes."
"Why don't you change your clothes? Let's go quickly!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but forcefully dragged Chen Gong out who had just put on a boot.
Wang Hu's situation on the other side was similar. Zhang Heng walked to the door of Wang Hu's room and asked the soldiers to kick the door open, and then asked the soldiers to yell again.
"Open the door and check the water meter!"
After all, Wang Gong was a martial artist, and his reaction was slightly faster than Chen Gong. After being awakened, he jumped up from the bed like a carp and looked outside.
Then, he saw Zhang Heng's smiling face.
When Wang Gong came to the courtyard wearing only his underwear, he saw Chen Gong who looked the same as him.
The two looked at each other, both seeing each other's confusion and shock.
What does Liu Xuande mean?
It was quiet outside, and it didn't look like the enemy was about to attack the city.
"Mr. Xuande, what should we do now?" Chen Gong cupped his hands and asked.
Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no rush, just wait."
This sentence almost made Chen Gong's nose become angry.
You were the one who pulled me out in a hurry just now, and now it's you who say you're not in a hurry. What on earth do you want to do?
If you are really not in a hurry, at least let me put my clothes on first!
Soon, Taishi Ci led Zang Hong over.
Compared with the embarrassment of the two of them, Zang Hong was neatly dressed, which shows that Taishi Ci is still an honest person and has no bad taste in tormenting others.
"Mr. Xuande, everyone is here, let's set off." Zhang Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go!" Liu Bei nodded and ordered.
"Wait a minute..." Chen Gong yelled quickly, "Mr. Xuande, where are we going? If we don't make it clear, please forgive me for not being able to go with us."
"Go to the frontline battlefield!" It was Zhang Heng who replied this time.
Chen Gong wondered: "Didn't you say that the enemy is about to enter the city? Why are you still going to the battlefield?"
Liu Bei said with an innocent face: "You can't talk nonsense in Gongtai. When did I say that the enemy is about to enter the city?"
"this……"
Chen Gong was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei did not say anything similar. Everything was just his own conjecture.
"Did Mr. Xuande mean that there is a battle going on at the front?" Chen Gong could not find the flaw in Liu Bei's words, so he had to continue to ask patiently.
"That's right." Zhang Heng nodded and said with a smile, "Gongtai still remembers that Duke Xuande once said that victory or defeat will be decided in these two days."
Hearing this, Chen Gong's eyes flashed with shock.
"What Captain Zhang means is that your army is about to defeat the enemy?"
"Gongtai!" Zhang Heng nodded and smiled, "Today, Xuande ordered his army to raid the bandit camp and behead the enemy. The enemy is already defeated. By the time we arrive, the war should be almost over. ”
So sudden!
Chen Gong was taken aback, and his first reaction was some disbelief.
Niu Fu has an army of nearly 30,000 people on the opposite side. How can you defeat them overnight?
But seeing that Zhang Heng's words were true, Chen Gong had no choice but to believe them.
No, that's not right!
Chen Gong felt the coolness of the night wind blowing on his body and reacted suddenly.
Is this why you torment me?
Even if you win a big victory, you shouldn't tease me like this.
"Since we are sure of winning, why should Mr. Xuande be in such a hurry?" Chen Gong snorted, the dissatisfaction in his tone obvious.
Zhang Heng, however, looked innocent and said in a sincere tone: "Oh, didn't Gongtai himself say that he wanted to watch the battle with the army?"
Looking at Zhang Heng's half-smiling eyes, Chen Gong fell silent, and at the same time he completely figured it out.
Zhang Heng's purpose of teasing Chen Gong was naturally not just for fun, but to give a slight warning to the jujube princes - Okay, don't go too far.
I fight the battles, shed the blood, and die. It's not enough for you to watch from behind. You even sent a few people to watch the show.
If Dong's thief is strong, you can't retreat; if Dong's thief is weak, you can all rush forward.
You really have taken advantage of all the benefits in the world. How can anything in the world be so cheap?
Zhang Heng was using this incident to vent his dissatisfaction. It was okay to sit on the fence, but not too much.
The war has reached this point, but you haven't contributed a single cent, so what do you want to do?
Come if you want, if you don't come, I'll knock you down. You'll send a few people over to make me sick.
Without you, I can still break into Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo!
After thinking about this, Chen Gong took a deep breath and his eyes became solemn.
"Mr. Xuande, although the war is urgent, I will allow you to go back to your house and change your clothes before you and I rush to the battlefield together." Chen Gong bowed deeply to Liu Bei and cupped his hands.
Zhang Heng waved his hand directly and said with a smile: "Go to the public platform early and come back early. Don't miss the time."
"Of course not."
Chen Gong nodded, turned around and strode back to the house.
Wang Gong on the other side still looked confused, but the clothes on his body didn't look good. He immediately complained to Liu Bei and turned around to change his clothes.
After the two left, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Heng with an inquiring look.
Ziyi, isn't it too much?
Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head.
However, not at all!
Before, Zhang Heng would definitely not be so provocative.
But today is different from the past. Liu Bei now has nearly 20,000 troops, more men and horses than the princes along the way. Coupled with the previous consecutive victories, he already has the confidence to challenge the princes.
Once you have confidence, you should naturally show some edge, otherwise others will always think you are a soft persimmon.
Liu Daer is not a young lady in a hair salon, anyone can touch her twice.
