Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 199
Chapter 199 Distinguish Between True and False
Thinking that Zhang Cheng was indeed just a businessman, Cheng Ran involuntarily relaxed his mind and said, “Alright, that is to say, Brother Zhang has a request. I will naturally satisfy you. In this way, I will follow you to open the western city gate now.”
“Very good.” Seeing Cheng Ran agree, Zhang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Three years ago, Zhang Chengcheng settled in Yin Guan City with his money. On the surface, he looked like a wealthy businessman, but in reality, his money came from the Heavenly Eyes Organization. He was sent by Lu Fei to Yanmen Prefecture in order to get some useful information for the Great General.
This time, he got the black eagle messenger, learned that zhang chao to lead the army to the yin, and smoothly defeated the huns army, solve the huns problem is probably in front of him.
Zhang Cheng, who deeply felt that his mission had to be accomplished, had also received Zhang Chao’s personal order to think of a way to open Tokto’s city gate from the inside to facilitate the army’s entry.
This task was not easy. It was just a businessman’s status, or it was very difficult to accomplish. However, it was Zhang Chao’s personal order, and Zhang Cheng had to complete it no matter what. He would never forget that he almost starved to death on the roadside back then. It was Zhang Chao who saved him and let him enter the Zhangjiajun army. He also gave him the present name, hoping that he would succeed in his work. Unfortunately, he didn’t have much physical fitness and was eventually eliminated from the high-intensity training.
He still remembered that day when he was eliminated, he cried very sadly. He felt that he was useless and couldn’t do anything for Zhang Chao. Lu Fei appeared and absorbed him into the Heavenly Eye Organization. After a period of training, she sent him to the Yan Gate.
He painstakingly trained and taught for today. After receiving Zhang Chao’s personal letter, Zhang Cheng decided to take a risk and rushed over relying on his long-standing relationship with Cheng Ran.
The clever Zhang Cheng did not reveal his identity directly. He was worried that Cheng Ran would refuse to obey him if he knew, so he made up this set. He believed that the other party would relax his vigilance and his mission might be completed.
Seeing that Cheng Ran was indeed not on guard, he really thought that he was just doing business. He let out a sigh of relief and ordered his assassins to move their sabers downwards. At the very least, no one could tell that they were threatening Cheng Ran when they walked outside.
…
Two hours ago.
In the dense forest eight miles outside Tokto’s east gate, Lu Bu and Dian Wei brought ten thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry to this place.
The scouts sent out from the front reported that the four doors of Tokto City were closed, and the lights on the city tower were brightly lit. It was a state of strict defense.
Hearing the scout’s report, Lyu bu and Dian Wei’s faces turned bitter. If the other side is prepared, then want to sneak attack is not possible, and if it is just a strong attack, based on this point of people afraid is really not enough, who knows how many xiongnu army in the city?
The report on the situation in the city caused the two generals to fall into confusion.
Especially Lyu bu. He wouldn’t forget what Zhang Chao said in his ear when he left Yin Guan City. “Alright, you’ve already become a God Slaying Great General. You look even more powerful than me. Alright then, let’s fight this battle well. Let me see if you’re really a Great General.”
Even though Zhang Chao had a smile on his face when he said those words. But in lyu3 bu4 ears, really how to listen to how to make people’s hearts go cold.
Because of his bravery, he was conferred by the huns to kill god generals, but it seems that some people also think that this reputation is not loud enough, and added a big word to it. In this way, the name of the general sounded even more pleasant. But the problem also came. This was actually on par with Lord.
Gong Gao Ge Zhu had always been the greatest trouble for his subjects, but now, unfortunately, Lyu bu had taken over. Now that he was defeated again, it was inevitable that someone would talk about this. If that was the case, then he would be unable to explain it clearly.
Perhaps he could succeed in capturing Tokto and heavily injuring the Xiongnu army, but if he did not take down the city truthfully, then it would be a combination of several crimes, I really don’t know what the outcome would be.
Lyu3 bu4 by zhang chao’s words is lingering fear, the side of dian wei’s expression is also not good.
As the Yanmen Prefecture Governor, this time, because of his negligence, there was a big problem, causing the people to suffer. This matter had a lot to do with him. Right now, he was also wearing a sinner’s body. If he could not make a contribution, he would also be shameless to return to Zhang Chao’s side.
The two of them had their own difficulties and were eager to make contributions, but they had to face the defensive city. For a moment, the two of them really didn’t know what to do.
“Old Lu, if you can’t, let’s attack. I still have three thousand infantry under me. With them, if I take the lead to drive the captain to death, I might have some chances.” Dian Wei really had no other choice, so he thought of a strong attack.
“No, absolutely not.” After hearing this, Lu Bu shook his head repeatedly and said, “With our small strength, we definitely can’t attack forcefully.” We don’t even know how many xiongnu army, if a lot of people, if they really rushed out, I’m afraid we don’t have to say siege, can win two more said, in the tetrarch gave these soldiers, that is the biggest sin.
Lu Bu did not support it, and his answer made Dian Wei lower his head. Yes, forceful attack is just a lucky idea, if Tokto city and the huns army, then this battle is not sent to his door to be slaughtered? If the victory did not, in the fight lost, then it is really shameless to face the master.
The two of them were not afraid of death when fighting. The strong generals with high martial skills couldn’t come up with any ideas. They lowered their heads. It was far different from how they usually lifted their heads high everywhere they walked. They looked as if they weren’t afraid of the heavens or the earth.
The two generals were still worried about how to take down Tokto City, and worried about how to complete Zhang Chao’s order. Suddenly, a subordinate patrol soldier came to report that he had caught a spy. This person sneakily watched for a while in the forest and was surrounded by them.
Hearing that there was a spy, the two of them said in unison, “Bring it over and ask.”
Regardless of whether it was Lu Bu or Dian Wei, they all wanted to know about the situation in Tokto City. Perhaps this spy could tell him something.
Soon, the spy was brought in front of the two of them. Unexpectedly, after seeing Lu Bu and Dian Wei, the spy wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, he said, “General Lu and General Dian, do you dare to ask?”
The spy was so calm that Lu Bu snorted coldly, “Oh, I can’t see that you’re still a bold and knowledgeable person. That means you should know our methods if you know us. In this way, you can say whatever you know, and maybe I’ll give you a good time later.”
The spy interrogated by Lyu bu was not in a hurry. Instead, he said, “General Lu, I have something in my arms that I can order your subordinates to take out and take a look.”
The tied-up spy actually said that he had something in his arms, which made Lu Bu laugh loudly, “What? You want to bribe me? Let me tell you, then you’re looking for the wrong person.”
However, Lyu bu still ordered the sergeant to reach into the spy’s arms, and a pitch-black wooden strip that looked like a command arrow was immediately taken out.
“What is this? Is it very valuable?” All he saw in the darkness was a long piece of wood, and Lyu bu said with a puzzled expression. On the other hand, when Dian Wei saw this item, he couldn’t help but take a step forward and ask, “This is an item that proves the membership of the Heavenly Eyes. If it is really this item, there should be a word on it.”
As he spoke, Dian Wei already held the wooden stick in his hand. Then, a big word appeared in front of his eyes.
“Indeed.” Dian Wei nodded and looked at the spy, “So you’re one of us?”
“That’s right. I am the number two subordinate of Lord Zhang Cheng, a Heavenly Eye member. I came here to report the situation in the city to the two generals.” When the scout saw that Dian Wei was knowledgeable, he didn’t have the slightest expression of surprise. As someone who had been following Zhang Chao for years, if he couldn’t even recognize such a thing, then it would be a waste.
Lyu bu also remembered that he had seen such a thing before. It was only because he was in a hurry to forget it. Now that he saw the spy take out an item to prove his identity, he immediately said happily, “So it’s one of his own people, let go so quickly.”
“Wait.” Dian Wei stopped him. “Not necessarily a Heavenly Eye member. What if he snatched it from us and deceived us?”
Dian Wei said. Lu Bu’s expression was first stunned, then he nodded and said, “That makes sense. Come, you two, tell me. How can you prove that your things weren’t stolen?”
Spy # 2 thought that taking out this item would prove his identity. After all, that was what Zhang Cheng said when he gave it to him. However, he didn’t expect the two generals to confirm it, so he didn’t know what to say.
The spy stopped talking and Dian Wei sneered, “Looks like you are indeed a liar sent by the other party. In that case, our true Heavenly Eye members have already been killed by you.”
“No, no, I’m really a Heavenly Eye member, but my status is low. I’m under Lord Zhang Cheng’s command. My usual code name is Number Two.” Seeing that Dian Wei Feidan did not believe in him and even thought that he was an enemy spy, the spy immediately shook his head and denied it.
“You said yes. What proof do you have?” Dian Wei said without letting go. After all, if he was one of his own, of course everything would be easy to say, but if he was a liar brought by the other party, then if he believed him, he would suffer a huge loss.
Under Dian Wei’s furious gaze, the second spy recalled what he knew and preached. “Every official Heavenly Eye member has a subordinate, and for the sake of confidentiality, they are usually codenamed. For example, my Lord Zhang Cheng has three trusted subordinates. I am the number two spy. However, my status is still very humble, and I don’t know much about it. According to the internal rules of the Heavenly Eye, I shouldn’t be asking questions. What I know is really limited. “
