Chapter 218 Rebel General

Liu Feng drank it all.

The wine in the glass reflects Liao Hua's blank and uneasy eyes.

He hesitated for a moment and then raised his glass to drink.

"Yuan Jian."

Liu Feng patted him on the shoulder with a relaxed and natural expression, just like a confidant and an old friend. "Seriously, I have always appreciated you. For so many years, Guan Yu has been using you as his family in the future, and I feel sorry for you."

Liu Feng has something to say.

Liao Hua always believed that he did not commit suicide like Zhao Lei at the beginning, but surrendered to Liu Feng. It was not that he was not loyal to Guan Yu, but that he had no choice but to surrender humiliatingly in order to keep the hundreds of brothers.

Since his surrender, Liu Feng did not trust him and only entrusted him with a false position, and he himself was not in the mood to serve Liu Feng. He just muddle along.

Now, Liu Feng's words clearly want to provoke the friendship between him and Guan Yu.

Liao Hua can't accept it.

He didn't think much about it and immediately said, "General Guan is righteous. I, Liao Hua, was born in a yellow scarf. It's an honor in my life to work under the command of General Guan. I don't feel sorry at all."

In front of the "murderer" who killed Guan Yu, Liao Hua did not hide his respect for Guan Yu. It seemed that he would rather anger Liu Feng than maintain Guan Yu's reputation.

Liu Feng is not angry. On the contrary, he has always appreciated this kind of upright and loyal man.

"Yun Chang is dead. Let him go in the past. Life is short. It's better to look forward."

Liu Feng said and filled him with wine again. He raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine should be regarded as a memorial. If you have a cup of wine, let him dissipate if the past is unhappy."

Once again, Liu Feng wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a kind smile.

The hint in the words is already obvious. Liu Feng is pulling him over and wants to use this glass of wine to resolve the past unhappiness. From now on, he wants Liao to be his Liu Feng's loyal service.

Is it possible?

Liao Hua thought it was ridiculous, and even thought that Liu Feng's idea was naive.

Who is Liao Hua? Even if I have to surrender to you, it is only my body. Liao Hua's loyalty will always belong to Uncle Liu.

Liao Hua wanted to refuse Liu Feng's kindness, but he hesitated for a moment and had to raise his glass to drink the bitter wine.

The surname is in the hands of the other, and resistance means seeking death.

I, Liao Hua, am not afraid of death, but I can't easily break my life. I want to keep this useful body. Maybe there will be hope to escape from Liu Feng's clutches in the future and serve Uncle Liu again.

This is Liao Hua's explanation to convince himself.

"Haha - OK, I just like Yuan Jian, a man who knows the current affairs like you. Come on, we won't get drunk today. Let's have a good time."

Liu Feng was very happy to see Liao Hua's soft compromise.

Liao Hua couldn't lift his spirit. After declaring his loyalty against his will, he had to force a smile and accompanied Liu Feng to continue to drink the cup of bitter wine full of his heart.

As soon as I drank it, it was half an hour. When the wine was strong, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on Liu Feng's face and sighed, "My army was originally smooth sailing, but Jiang Wan in Wu County was very difficult to deal with, which blocked the way of my army into Shu. Yuan Jian, do you have any good strategy to break the city?

"This... forgive me, I can't worry about the Lord."

Liao Hua answered very simply. With his wisdom, of course, it is impossible to come up with any good strategy to break the enemy, and even if he did, he would not say it.

Liu Feng moved close to Liao Hua, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Yuan Jian, you can't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, only you can help me break through Wu County."

"Me?"

Liao Hua looked at a loss. He guessed that Liu Feng was going to let him lead troops to attack Wu County? If so, isn't it just right... The stagnant mood suddenly became excited.

"Although I am not talented, if the Lord sends me to attack the city, I will do my best. As for whether I can attack it or not, I dare not guarantee it."

Seeing that Liu Feng had the tone of letting him lead the army to fight, Liao Hua took the opportunity to take the initiative to fight, but in order to prevent Liu Feng from having other ideas, he deliberately showed that he had no confidence.

Liu Feng smiled and said, "I told you earlier, Yuan Jian, don't always underestimate your ability, but this time you don't have to lead the army."

Liao Hua was a little disappointed, but he tried his best to restrain himself. He pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't know how I can worry for the Lord."

"I want you to surrender to Jiang Wan." Liu Feng approached Liao Hua and almost whispered.

"Fraudulent surrender!"

Liao Hua pretended to be surprised. He was in a low mood, but he immediately showed a strong hope.

"You are Guan Yu's old department, and Liu Bei has always trusted you very much. This time, you can lie that you killed the surveillance sergeant and fled. I expected that Jiang Wan would believe it. At that time, you and I can fight inside and outside and break through Wu County in one fell swoop.

If Liu Feng is not present, Liao Hua will laugh proudly at this moment.

Originally, he was worried about missing the opportunity, but now it seems that Liu Feng still intends to "return the tiger to the mountain".

Let me surrender fraudulently, hey hey... Liao Hua was very happy, but he asked solemnly, "How is the lord going to make me legal inside and outside?"

Liu Feng said, "It's like this. The city of Wuxian County is strong, and it is difficult to break through, so I plan to dig a tunnel from the north of the city camp and go straight to the city. At that time, you can use a little means to let Jiang Wan neglect the patrol of the North City, and my strange soldiers can smoothly sneak into the city and seize the door to enlarge the army into the city.

So that's it.

Liao Hua pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "If the Lord can trust me, I am willing to enter the enemy's camp to surrender fraudulently."

Seeing Liao Hua's promise, Liu Feng was overjoyed and said happily, "Yuan Jian, if this plan is successful, you will be the biggest contributor to the battle to take Yizhou and destroy Liu Bei. I, Liu Feng, will not treat you badly."

Liao Hua stood up and said, "The reason why I promised to take risks for the Lord's sake is not to covet fame and fortune, but to repay the Lord for not killing. If something happens to me, please be kind to the hundreds of brothers who have surrendered to me.

"Of course, don't worry, I won't treat those soldiers, Yuanjian's wives and concubines and family."

Liu Feng agreed solemnly.

Liao Hua has no children, but he has a wife and two concubines.

In Liao Hua's view, he deliberately mentioned his wife and concubine's family, which was actually a tactful warning that he should not have a different heart.

Well, why does a man have no wife? As long as I can escape from your clutches, a woman is nothing.

"Don't worry, I will live up to the master's trust."

Liao Hua nodded heavily and promised.

Liu Feng was satisfied with this, so he raised his glass and said generously, "Come on, I'll give you another cup of Yuanjian, and I'll use this wine to do it for you."

The strong smell of wine, when raising the glass, a strange smile flashed at the corners of Liao Hua's mouth.

.................................... In the evening of the next day, Liao Hua appeared under the city of Wu County. Behind him, there was a roll of dust and smoke, and dozens of Jingzhou troops were chasing him from the direction of the camp.

Liao Hua stopped in front of the moat and shouted loudly, "General Guan will send Liao Hua to return. Please ask Jiang to open the door and let me in."

In order to prevent Liu Feng from using his family to threaten, the 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Jiang Wan were the Yizhou soldiers who were robbed by Baishui Pass at the beginning. Of course, these people did not recognize Liao Hua.

After the spread, Jiang Wan appeared at the head of the city soon, staring down at the city and recognizing the anxious general. It was really the Guan Yu family's general Liao.

"Liao Yuanjian, didn't you surrender to Liu Feng? Why did you appear here? Is there a annihalation plan?"

Jiang Wan, like Zhuge Liang, is very cautious. At the time of this war, how can he easily believe that Liao Hua is a "traitor".

"I had no choice but to surrender to Liu Feng, and it was easy to kill the eyes and ears of the surveillance. I took the horses and escaped from the enemy's camp in order to defect to the lord again. Jiang engaged in it. Let me into the city quickly."

Liao Hua explained that he kept looking back at the pursuers. As he spoke, more than a dozen pursuers were approaching.

These cavalrymen were afraid of the interests of the archers in the city and did not dare to get too close to the city. They strangled the horses after dozens of steps and bent their bows and arrows to shoot at Liao Hua on the edge of the city.

"Jiang, you have to believe me. I really want to go. Please let me into the city."

Liao Hua waved his sword to block the attacking arrows, while turning his back to the city and pleading bitterly. He was in a very difficult situation.

Whether to watch Liao Hua die under the enemy's arrow or choose to let him in, Jiang Wan must make a choice as soon as possible.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Wan quickly shouted, "Open the gate quickly and let General Liao in."

Jingzhou was lost, Guan Yu was defeated, and the civilian warriors fell down.

Now Liao Hua's desperate escape is also an example of loyalty to the old master. He publicizes it, which also helps to improve morale.

It was with this in mind that Jiang Wan chose to let him enter the city. What's more, Liao Hua came alone. Even if his heart was suspicious, what tricks could he do?

The suspension bridge was put down, the gate opened a gap, and Liao Hua ran into the gate in the rain of arrows.

Seeing this, the pursuers outside the city had to turn back and leave.

As soon as he entered the gate, Liao Hua was quickly surrounded by a group of heavily armed armored soldiers. In order to show his sincerity, Liao Hua took the initiative to remove his sword, and even removed the armor, to show that he did not want to assassinate Jiang Wan.

Under the " escort" of a group of soldiers, Liao Hua was sent to the county government.

Wu County is located in a remote area, and there are not many grand houses in the whole county. After Jiang Wan's army arrived, the county magistrate took the initiative to give up the government office as Jiang Wan's headquarters.

In the lobby, the left and right rows of knives and axes stood ferociously. Jiang Wan, the upper seat, was covered with his whole body, and he knelt down on the table with his sword.

In the dim hall, there is a quiet murderous atmosphere flowing.

Liao Hua has a bad feeling.

After taking a deep breath, he calmly walked into the lobby and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Jiang, for doing it. If you hadn't opened the door in time and let me in, I, Liao Hua, might have died under the enemy's arrows at this moment."

Jiang Wan's eyes are like a blade. Originally, he was an elegant and handsome face, but now he is full of a terrible ferocious murderous atmosphere.

Those eyes stared at Liao Hua, which made him feel uncomfortable like a light on his back.

In a moment, Jiang Wan suddenly patted the case and shouted, "Bold Liao Hua, you first betrayed the old master, and now you come to cheat. It's really abominable. Come on, push this person out and kill me."
