"That's a good idea." Zhang Xiu said happily, so he prepared drinks in Wancheng to entertain Zhao Yun.
The spies of Cao Cao's army, who were closely watching Zhang Xiu's movements, quickly reported the matter to Zhong Yao. How could Zhong Yao not see what Zhang Xiu was thinking?
"I have two things for you to do here. If you do it beautifully, you are the hero." Zhong Yao said to his relatives.
"Just tell me!" The confidant said excitedly.
"First, spread the news that we have arrived in Wancheng, and second, buy two gangsters and assassinate Zhao Yun." Zhong Yao said.
"However, how could a gangster be Zhao Yun's opponent?" the aide asked puzzled.
"You don't need to understand, just do it." Zhong Yao said.
Since Zhang Xiu is hesitant, let's help him make a decision.Zhong Yao believed that Zhang Xiu could not escape from his grasp, and greedy people were the easiest to handle.
第380九章 陌路
Zhao Yun wanted to have an open and honest talk with Zhang Xiu, so he was very polite to Zhang Xiu's envoy.
Wancheng was going through a war, so there were not many pedestrians coming and going, and Zhao Yun was still very depressed when he came.
The moment he stepped into the city, he was keenly aware of the difference, which was the general's intuition.
Zhao Yun slowed down his pace, and sure enough, the moment he entered the city gate, two strange men walked over, making no secret of their murderous intent.
"Go!"
Before the two of them acted, they shouted loudly, took out the machete, and came straight to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun drew out his saber, and subdued the two of them with two simple moves.
However, Zhao Yun didn't dare to relax. For him, the city had become like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
Someone is going to deal with him!
The nearby defenders surrounded them and took the two away. Zhang Xiu's envoy kept smiling and said that he would definitely investigate the matter.
Zhao Yun smelled something unusual. Such an assassination method was too rough, more like a warning.
No wonder Zhang Xiu has been hesitant. It turned out that a third-party force was involved. It was not difficult for Zhao Yun to guess that this party was probably Cao Cao.
Since Cao Cao's envoy was in the city, how could Zhao Yun continue to enter the city and entrust his life and death to others?
So, he pretended to be uncomfortable, seized the horse and fled.
After Zhang Xiu found out, he shouted that he had been fooled, and rode a fast horse to chase Zhao Yun himself, but it was too late, and Zhao Yun had already returned to the camp.
Does Zhang Xiu deserve to be wronged?
it's not true.
Zhao Yun asked Gao Shun to go out in person and invited Zhang Xiu to the camp for a talk.
Zhang Xiu had ghosts in his heart, how dare he put himself in danger?
"General Zhang, I, in Yangzhou, do things openly and aboveboard, so I won't make things difficult for you." Gao Shun said.
It's okay not to say this, Zhang Xiu seems to have a feeling of being caught in a pigtail, which is very uncomfortable.
Originally, Gao Shun was just cheating, but he didn't expect to get the truth directly, and he sighed in his heart.
The opportunity has been left to Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu is stubborn, there is no other way.
Zhang Xiu struggled for a few breaths and rode his horse back to the city.
After Zhao Yun heard the news, he sighed three times. If he persisted in entering Wancheng, he might be able to win back Zhang Xiu's heart. It's too late to say anything now.
"Send all the scouts to investigate the news in Wancheng."
In just half a day, scouts reported that Zhong Yao, the envoy of Cao Cao's army, was in Wancheng.
In this regard, Zhao Yun didn't know what to say.
"Damn Zhang Xiu, we thought he was a friend, but he turned around and sold us out." Dian Wei said angrily.
"Report this matter to the lord and ask the lord to decide." Zhao Yun said.
So Dian Wei dispatched Meteor Horses to rush back to Yangzhou.
After Liu Ke saw it, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart. The reason why he looked at Zhang Xiu with admiration was just to sell Zhao Yun's face.
"Zilong's assassination was probably done by Zhong Yao," Guo Jia said.
Of course Liu Ke knew that this was a common trick used by envoys.
Otherwise, what effect would such an assassination have?
However, this also exposed Zhang Xiu's attitude problem, which is both right and left.
The reason why Guo Jia said this is that he didn't want Liu Ke to fall into the calculations of Cao Cao's army.
"Is there nothing wrong with Zhang Xiu? It's just a grass on the wall." Liu Ke said.
"What is the lord going to do? If the conditions are directly offered, Zhang Xiu may not change his mind, and it will not be too late to deal with him at that time." Guo Jia said.
Liu Ke fell into deep thought, Guo Jia's words were very reasonable, after Zhang Xiu was settled, the matter in Yuzhou would be calm.
Now the small Yuzhou has become a game platform for Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Ke.
