"Dadada..."

As it was dawn, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the fields of Chenliu County, alarming a group of birds.

Dozens of cavalrymen were galloping, they had long abandoned their armor and looked in a mess.

"Mr., let's take a break, Cao's army can't catch up!"

Someone begged.

"Well, after running all night, everyone is exhausted."

Zhang Miao slowed down his horse, turned over and got off the horse, and sat cross-legged on the ground to rest:

"Dian Wei, I'm already thirsty when I send someone to get some water."

The one who named him was an extremely majestic man. He looked around for a few times and drove his horse to find the source of water.

Although Zhang Miao was talking about "sending people", there is no one to send now!

The cavalry left in the same place asked while pounding their legs:

"Mr., although we have escaped, where are we going to stay?"

Zhang Miao untied his helmet and combed his messy hair slightly:

"Yuan Shao has always hated me, and Liu Biao has been in alliance with Yuan Cao, and Tao Qian has a hard time protecting himself... At present, I can only go to Jiujiang to seek help from Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Gaolu has been defeated by Cao Cao many times, he still has his reputation and has many soldiers and generals. Yanzhou is exhausted. As long as I can borrow 10,000 elite troops, I can unite with Lu Fengxian and completely defeat Cao Cao!"

His subordinates looked at each other, then looked at Dian Wei who gradually faded out of his sight, and gradually surrounded Zhang Miao:

"Mr. Fu, I have a heartfelt word. I don't know if I should say it?"

Zhang Miao, who was tidying up his hair, was completely unaware:

"You are all my confidants, what else can you say at this time?"

They got closer and closer:

"Yuan Shu is unreliable. Why don't you take us to join Chen Fei!"

Zhang Miao looked up suddenly:

"Submitting to Chen Fei? Hahaha!"

He laughed:

"What is Chen Fei? When I was ranked eighth chef, Zhang Mengzhuo was still wearing open-crotch pants! How could I beg him for mercy?

What's more, Cao Mengde is fierce and cruel, but Chen Fei wants to join him. If I turn to him, wouldn't I be ashamed of the Eight Chefs?! What do you... want to do?!"

He finally noticed the ominous aura, and the soldiers pressed the swords on their waists with their right hands.

"Dian Wei!"

Zhang Miao wanted to stand up and call for help, but two soldiers pressed their shoulders tightly and could not exert any strength at all.

"I'm very waiting for you, why do you betray me?!"

He let out a shrill cry, but the answer was a sharp bayonet!

The subordinates who he thought were his confidant slowly drew out their swords:

"In order to welcome Lu Bu, you can even give up your own family, let alone our subordinates?"

"We want wealth, but... we want to survive even more!"

-

On the tenth day of July, evening.

Chen Fei, who was eating pork in the camp, heard the soldiers’ reports:

"General, Zhang Miao's subordinates asked for a meeting!"

Chen Fei grabbed the last piece of meat before Guo Jia:

"What's the matter?"

The soldiers kept bowing slightly:

"Salute your head!"

Chen Fei shook his right hand, and the last slice of mutton fell back into the pot, and was taken out by Guo Jia, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

Ignoring Guo Jia, who looked proud, Chen Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks:

"Did they kill Zhang Chao?"

The soldier shook his head:

"General, it's... Zhang Miao!"

Chen Fei was stunned and quickly wiped his hands:

"Let them in!"

-

“…”

A bloody head was placed directly in front of Chen Fei.

Chen Fei only met Zhang Miao a year ago. Although his head was a little distorted, his general appearance vaguely coincided with the impression in his mind. It can be basically concluded that he was himself.

Chen Fei put down the white cloth covering his head, leaving Zhang Miao temporarily isolated from the world:

"Why don't you surrender to Cao Cao directly? He should be closer, right?"

The leading soldier bowed:

"Zhang Fujun betrayed Cao Cao, and Cao Cao must have hated him so much. We are worried that he will be angry with him, so we dare not surrender. What's more, our family members are all in Chenliu, so we came to offer our heads, just hoping that the general would be kind and be able to save the lives of our families."

Chen Fei's eyes looked past their faces:

"I didn't want to forgive you, but seeing that you are still sincere, I am willing to give you a chance to redeem your sins, just to see if you want to grasp it."

More than twenty soldiers nodded in succession:

"But with the general's instructions, I dare not refuse to obey!"

Chen Fei said slowly:

"Since you are Zhang Miao's confidants, Zhang Chao and the city officials will definitely know you. You will select a representative to send Zhang Miao's head... to the city. If you can persuade Zhang Chao to join me, I will give you an additional reward."

These people looked at each other and finally someone stood up:

"The villain Lu Ren is willing to go to the city. I am afraid there will be many dangers. I only hope that the general will keep his promise and forgive the lives of other companions and families on the day of breaking the city."

-

The next morning, Zhang Chao, who had not fallen asleep all night, finally closed his eyes and was shouted by his subordinates:

"General, Zhang Fujun's subordinate Lu Ren is calling out outside the city!"

Zhang Chao was excited:

"Open the door quickly and let them in!"

After saying that, he suddenly woke up:

"Chenliu is surrounded by Yingchuan soldiers. How could he break through with just one person?!"

-

“…Brother?!”

When Zhang Chao saw Zhang Miao's head, his eyes turned dark and he collapsed to the ground.

Lu Ren didn't say anything, just sat quietly on the carpet, waiting for the other party's decision.

Zhang Chao slowly opened his eyes, trembling hands, and stroked Zhang Miao's head:

"Who was my brother killed?"

Lu Ren did not hide it:

"Zhang Fujun wanted to go to Yangzhou to ask Yuan Shu for help. The brothers did not want to do so and had to kill the Lord."

Zhang Chao's expression gradually became ferocious. He stood up from his seat and drew out his sharp sword with a "swish" sound:

"Since you dare to kill my brother, what kind of face do you have to see me?"

Lu Ren bent down slightly at him:

"We are really forced to kill the Lord. The general wants to kill the villain to avenge his brother. The villain has nothing to say. But before the villain dies, he still wants to advise him. Lu Bu is a capricious person. If he alleges with him, he will regret it!"

"Repent? I regret it now!"

Zhang Chao roared, walked over with a staggering stagger, and raised his sword high.

Lu Ren straightened his back and closed his eyes slightly.

The appearance of his parents and family passed by one by one, and he was ready to usher in the last moment of his life.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for a long time, but it seemed that he had only just a moment. He did not wait until the sharp sword cut his throat or pierced his chest, but he only heard the sound of the sword falling to the ground with a "bang"!

He opened his eyes, but saw Zhang Chao's face full of pain.

"The general won't kill villains?"

Zhang Chao gritted his teeth and seemed to have made an extremely difficult decision:

"You go and tell Chen Fei that I can surrender, but I have a request!
