Chang Diao's current status is much higher than before, so his subordinates naturally gathered a large number of younger brothers to serve him, and he didn't have to do it himself as before.

And among his men, the most talented one was Lu Hong.

Lu Hong didn't even have a word, he was a young man from the bottom of his background and made a living by relying on his own strength.

Because Chang Diao was lazy, he was able to become the real controller of the school affairs. But he knew that he had no backer and wanted to do this offensive thing well and still had to hold Chang Diao's thighs tightly. Therefore, he followed Chang Diao's will and his loyalty from the bottom also made him deeply feel Chang Diao's kindness of knowing his favor. As long as Chang Diao said one sentence, he would cut down whoever he asked him to cut.

When Chang Diao and Shen Dan's envoy met briefly before, all of them were observing in the distance and did not ask what the two had talked about. Chang Diao made a casual gesture. Lu Hong immediately understood and led everyone to chase him in the direction of Chang'an.

Shen Dan's envoy did not expect that Chang Diao was so lazy and useless. In desperation, he had to go to Chang'an to find other people to talk about Chen Qun's actions.

He walked all night, and his chest was already hungry and he could only take out the dry food he carried with him. The cold water melted slightly and swallowed it hard in the cold wind.

Thinking of Chang Diao's lazy appearance before, he couldn't help but scold him:

"What's the matter? Such a person is worthy of being a military advisor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sinister voice coming from behind:

"Hehe, not bad, I think he can't be a military advisor."

The messenger turned around in surprise and saw that there was a magnificent shirtless man standing behind him at some point.

The big man was only a size smaller than Shen Dan. He was full of muscles and his thick beard crawled over his cheeks. He smiled horrificly.

The messenger was shocked and quickly got up and wanted to run away, but in an instant, a group of bandits in ragged clothes pretending to be refugees came around. They all had swords and sticks in their hands, obviously the great man's companions.

Seeing that the messenger could not escape, he could only smile bitterly:

"I am the prefect of Shangyong, and Shen Da, the envoy sent by the Hou Shen Yiju of Yuanxiang, to Chang'an. I wonder how many heroes are?"

The leading man smiled:

"I am covering Liu Xiongming on Cheshan. I wonder if I have ever heard of my name?"

Shen Da was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"It turned out to be Liu Shenxian. Today, I finally got to see the immortal's face today!"

Liu Xiongming is from Lantian, Jingzhao. When he was a teenager, he often went to Fuche Mountain to collect herbs, so he knew the terrain there as much as his hand. Because Fuche Mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, everyone said that it was a residence of gods. Liu Xiongming drew on the successful cases of his ancestors and simply claimed to go up the mountain to find immortals. He relied on the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty and gathered thousands of soldiers. He was considered a bandit with few achievements.

The Lantian area is not too far from Shangyong, so Shen Da has also heard of this person's name.

Liu Xiongming nodded smugly and smiled:

"I didn't expect that my humble reputation could be so far. I'm so lucky.

I wonder what it takes to come here this time? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Shen Da said busy:

"It's okay, I'll go to Chang'an to buy some fur goods. If it's time for Liu Shenxian to worry about it."

Liu Xiongming was still smiling before, but his face immediately changed:

“Don’t tell the truth, right?

What do you do to make ordinary sculptures?”

Shen Dan's army has strict disciplines. If there is betrayal, it will be the end of killing the whole family. Shen Da is Shen Dan's confidant, so naturally he dare not reveal a word.

Liu Xiongming snorted, the kindness and calmness that had been before was gone, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense to Shen Daduo. He waved his hand quickly, and several people rushed forward from left to right, grabbing Shen Da's arms hard.

"Take him back to the mountain and see if he says or not."

The bandits laughed:

"Yes, let him see the means on our mountain!"

As everyone said that, they blocked Shen Da's mouth with a rag and stuffed it into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Liu Xiongming put on his coat and dressed up as a drug dealer. Other bandits pretended to be refugees or servants. In the blink of an eye, they had already completed concealment and were confident that they would not be noticed by anyone.

Just as he was proud and was about to take people back to the mountain, he heard a burst of rapid horse hooves. He saw a team of neat cavalry running from the official road, and there were many soldiers moving further away. Liu Xiongming looked at him and saw that the cavalry from all directions were coming towards him, and he couldn't help but shivering.

What, what's going on?

Liu Xiongming has been robbing houses nearby, but he has a lieutenant appointed by Cao Cao, who is also a Cao army. They are now pretending to be drug dealers, and they are unaware of it. How could so many cavalrymen come to chase him?

"Hurry up, come forward and ask, just say I'll wait... Forget it, just show your identity. If they ask for a bribe, give it to them."

Speaking of which, Liu Xiongming was really afraid of these "his own people". He asked his soldiers to come forward to check and try to see if he could stop them from moving forward in his own name.

But unexpectedly, the cavalrymen who were in the forefront did not blink, and directly activated their war horses to rush forward and quickly stepped over the bandits blocking the road!

"I am Zhuge Qian under General Cao's command! Those who don't want to die will all be placed on both sides of me and kneel down!"

With a loud shout, the surrounding Cao's cavalry quickly contracted. The bandits under Liu Xiongming subconsciously wanted to run away. The knights bent their bows without hesitation. The dense rain of arrows fell down. Liu Xiongming's subordinates fell in an instant, and everyone kept screaming and wailing. Even Liu Xiongming was so scared that he was nowhere to be looked down and quickly got out of the car and knelt aside.

This, this cavalry, this archery...

The one who came was actually the main force of Cao's army!

What did I do? Why did the main cavalry of Cao's army come to capture me?

There was finally a smile on Lu Hong's gloomy face. He bowed to Zhuge Qian and then rushed forward with his guards. They kicked Liu Xiongming away. Only then did Liu Xiongming remember that there was still someone hidden in his car.

"This, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!"

"explain?"

Lu Hong's face was full of ferocious expression, and he opened the curtain of the carriage. Sure enough, Shen Da, who was tied up in all directions, was lying inside.

"Old thief, I'll see how you deny it today!"

Liu Xiongming was confused when he heard this. Before he could react, several school officials were already excited to tie him up. Zhuge Qian got off the horse and walked up, pressing his long sword against his chest:

"What are you doing here? Is it Ma Chao's spy?"

"Horse? What's the best horse?"

"Bastard!" Zhuge Qian slapped Liu Xiongming in the face, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill your subordinates one by one!"

As he said that, Zhuge Qian really asked someone to take action, dragged one of his subordinates in front of Liu Xiongming, and pierced his throat with a sword in the man's wail. Liu Xiongming was so scared that he quickly explained the whole story of the matter.

It turned out that Ma Chao sent someone to contact Liu Xiongming and made an appointment to make an uprising, but Liu Xiongming was unwilling to wade into Ma Chao's muddy waters and refused.

But he was really worried that Cao Cao would attack Guo in the future and directly eliminate all the warlords in Guanzhong area. Therefore, he asked his subordinates to observe everything around him keenly and tell him any news.

Cao Cao's military advisor Chang Diao was approaching, but he did not go to the front line to command the battle. Instead, he got drunk every day in Tongguan, fearing that others would not know that he was ugly. Liu Xiongming thought that something must be strange about this.

He had been squatting nearby and finally saw a man sneaking and meeting Chang Diao. The two of them had just stayed for a while and then immediately dispersed. Then the man headed straight to Chang'an.

Liu Xiongming knew that there must be something wrong in this matter, so he quickly took it. He never thought that he was immediately attacked by the main force of the Wei army before he could return. He was not the opponent of these elite cavalry, and he could only surrender.

Lu Hong and Zhuge Qian had a ferocious look on their faces. They looked at each other and Lu Hong sneered:

"Old thief, the trick of my military advisor in your family, ah, no, it's a clever plan!"

Zhuge Qian also smiled and nodded:

"Previously, Junshi Chang said that there must be Ma Chao's spies in Tongguan, so he pretended to be like this and led you and others into the trap.

Hey, knowing that you are cautious and unwilling to take the bait, the military advisor used a trick to deliberately lead you out. However, as soon as you left, the military advisor immediately called Brother Lu and others to intercept him. He was stationed near the corner. I see where you are running this time!"

Lu Hong laughed:

"You are still not cautious enough. You know that my military advisor has countless school affairs and is well-known, but he dares to take the initiative to make trouble near Tongguan.

Humph, don’t tell the truth quickly, when will you wait!"

Liu Xiongming was so scared that his face looked like a mortal.

He had carefully observed Chang Diao for several days before, and felt that he really exuded a rogue and irresponsible temperament in his body. He didn't expect that he would pretend to be. He heard that all the generals of the Cao army called him incompetent, and they all said that he had to rely on Cao Ren's recommendation to barely get into a free job, so he was quite contemptuous. He didn't expect that he had such profound tolerance and plot, and he could easily capture himself.

"Give me your life, spare me your life! Although I am a bandit, I am really not Ma Chao's spy! Ma Chao asked me to rebel before, but I refused it. Everyone can testify about this matter!"

Little life was in the hands of someone else, Liu Xiongming quickly begged for mercy, Lu Hong's face changed and he sneered:

"What, are you saying that Military Secretary Chang blamed you for your mistake?"

At this moment, Shen Da was also untied and brought to Liu Xiongming. When he saw Liu Xiongming kneeling in front of Lu Hong, he kept crying and begging for mercy, and couldn't help but say loudly:

"Don't listen to his lies! He had said before that he was a confidant general under General Ma. He sneaked into the place to cooperate with Ma Chao for chaos. I could hear it clearly. General, don't let him go!"

Liu Xiongming:...

No, how could I still frame others casually! I did nothing!

How could Zhuge Qian and Lu Hong miss this opportunity to make meritorious service? They looked at each other and Zhuge Qian said slowly:

"Brother Lu, General Cao and Military Commander Chang are still waiting for us to report, look..."

Lu Hong sneered:
Chapter completed!
