Chapter 94 The road narrows

"Why did the envoy's family suddenly come to Juancheng, and why didn't they inform them in advance?"

After listening to the officer's report, Xun Yu immediately showed doubts on his face, "Give me my order not to open the door to let people in for the time being. We will make a decision after Captain Cao and I have verified our identities in person!"

He was obviously doubting the identity of the visitor.

Under normal circumstances, when Boss Cao's family is relocating, they will definitely notify officials along the way in advance. Every time they pass by, officials will leave the city in advance to greet them, and they will send troops to escort them all the way when they leave to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Therefore, if the group of people outside are really Boss Cao's family members, there is absolutely no reason for their sudden arrival.

There may be some fraud in this.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw that Cao Zhen and Wu Liang had already stood up.

Cao Zhen looked anxiously and said to Xun Yu: "Uncle Wen Ruo, follow me quickly to verify, maybe they are really my uncle's family members. If this is true, something may have happened to Chen Liu!"

"Chen Liu? Chen Liu is guarded by the envoy Zhang Miao and the prefect Zhang. He has not received any battle reports in recent days. How could something happen?"

Xun Yu still looked puzzled.

When Boss Cao went to conquer Tao Qian for the first time this spring, he told his family: "If I can't come back, you can go and seek refuge with Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao's name)." Later, when he returned in triumph, he met Zhang Miao.

, the two actually looked at each other and cried.

This shows how close the relationship between them is.

Therefore, without receiving any battle report, Xun Yu couldn't figure out what would happen to Chen Liu even if he tried hard.

“Talking as we walk!”

While talking, Cao Zhen and Wu Liang had already walked outside the living room door.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked puzzled, looked at each other, and quickly followed.



On the way to the city gate, Wu Liang kept thinking secretly about what happened to Chen Liu.

Xun Yu just said that he had not received any battle reports, which means that Chen Liu has not been involved in the war yet. Even if Zhang Miao had the idea of ​​​​rebellion, he probably did not officially launch a mutiny.

If so, why did Boss Cao's family come to Juancheng as planned?

unless……

They discovered that Zhang Miao was making unusual moves!

But what exactly is this action?

Wu Liang reviewed the history he knew over and over again, and finally another inconspicuous detail caught his attention.

Lu Bu!

"Three Kingdoms" records:

Half a year before Zhang Miao's rebellion, that is, very recently, Lu Bu had made military exploits in Yuan Shao's battle with the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan, and was also arrogant and domineering. Therefore, Yuan Shao suspected and hated him, and secretly sent soldiers to assassinate him.

Although Lu Bu took precautions and survived, he had no choice but to flee to Hanoi again to join Zhang Yang.

On the way to escape, Lu Bu passed by Chenliu, and Zhang Miao sent people out of the city to greet him. Not only did he treat him well, but they also held each other's arms before parting and vowed to be good friends...

Today, it is less than half a year before Zhang Miao rebelled against Boss Cao in history!

In other words, at the same time that Wu Liang and the Yi army went to Yuancheng to rob the tomb, Lu Bu had actually arrived in Chenliu, and the two almost passed by each other?

It was also because of this that it was Lü Bu's general Hao Meng who met the army at Bugui Valley, not Lü Bu himself.

After all, Lu Bu might be running away at that time, and it would be a big deal if he could leave a small group of troops to rob the tomb. Why would he take the risk himself and waste time on the road? What if Yuan Shao catches up with him?

However, there is still a small loophole in this speculation.

Nowadays, Lu Bu and Boss Cao are not at odds with each other. Even if Lu Bu met Zhang Miao via Chen Liu and even vowed to get married, it would not be a big deal. At least for the Cao family who do not know the history, there is no need to be so vigilant.

After all, in this era, it is common to have horizontal and vertical combinations.

Historically, Boss Cao never blamed or doubted Zhang Miao for this time. The most direct evidence of this is that during the three campaigns against Tao Qian the following summer, Zhang Miao was still allowed to garrison Chenliu. It was also because of this trust that Boss Cao almost fell into the trap.

A homeless ending.

unless……

When Wu Liang subdued Dian Wei, Zhang Miao's beatings against Zhao Chong fell into Zhang Miao's ears, and they still irritated Zhang Miao.

So that when Zhang Miao met with Lu Bu this time, he said or did some radical things, and these things also fell into the ears of the Cao family, so they fled according to the plan?

Just as he was thinking this, the group of people had already arrived at the city gate.

"Who is coming?"

Cao Chen tried his best to look down by the light of the torch, but he still couldn't see the faces of the people below the city clearly. He could only roughly see that there were probably hundreds of people gathered below, so he had to ask loudly.

"Anmin? The people in the city are Anmin?"

A woman's surprised voice sounded from the city.

"Aunt Ding?"

Cao Zhen instantly recognized the identity of the woman, and quickly turned around and said to Xun Yu: "Uncle Wen Ruo, quickly order the city gate to be opened to greet her. They are my uncle's family below the city. You can't be wrong!"

At this time, Wu Liang also shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are Chen Jinshui, Yin Jian and others down there?"

"Here!"

Chen Jinshui's voice with a unique accent rang out.

"Are my beauties safe and sound?"

Wu Liang continued howling.

"Don't worry, Sima. There's not even a hair on your head missing. Brothers, you're worried about this!"

Chen Jinshui replied.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

Wu Liang said with great joy.

"..."

When he turned around, he saw Cao Zhen, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and many soldiers on the city wall looking at him with strange expressions.

What's going on with this guy? Why is he so careless that he doesn't care about whether Jun's family is well or not, but instead cares about his own beauty first?

And in front of all the envoys and members of the Jun family...

Alas, the road in this life is always narrow for oneself, and one cannot blame others.

However, little did they know that Wu Liang had originally planned to walk a narrow path of "contentment without humiliation" in front of Boss Cao... These words were not said by Wu Liang, but by Cheng Yu, who had just been "pointed out" by Wu Liang.

For this reason, in history, Cheng Yu lived comfortably to the age of eighty and died.

This is in sharp contrast to Xun Yu, who was more relied upon by Boss Cao at this time. Historically, Xun Yu definitely contributed much more than Cheng Yu, but the ending was far less satisfactory than Cheng Yu, and could even be said to be miserable.



Although Boss Cao has a large family, they are far less than a few hundred people.

In addition to Wu Liang's beauties and Cao Mansion's personal guards, there are also those soldiers from the Hu army who stayed in Chenliu. They also came with them on this trip. They happened to take on the responsibility of guarding during the journey, and they also

It's a good use of everything.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu did not dare to neglect Boss Cao's family at all, so they set aside a large house for them to settle down overnight.

Wu Liang's family also got a small house.

Although the scale is not as large as Chen Liu's house, it is much more comfortable than the military camp.

Moreover, when Zhang Miao's affairs are finished, Wu Liang will definitely return to Chenliu. This is just a temporary residence, so naturally there is no need to be so particular.

With Jiang Mei and everyone settled in this way, Wu Liang finally had time to call Chen Jinshui and others over and asked the question in his heart: "What happened to Chen Liu?"

"Zhang Miao is making some noise!"

Yin Jian lowered his voice and said, "It's not me who said it, it was said by the guards in the envoy's family. They were entrusted by Captain Cao to pay close attention to every move in the city. Recently, they found out that Lu Bu's troops had arrived near Chenliu. Not only did Zhang Miao secretly send
