Liu Qi turned his head to look at Dian Wei with a smile, pointed at Zhang Liao in surprise and said, "Jun Dian, have you heard it? Is he here to provoke me to ask for a crime?"

Dian Wei Niuling's big eyes suddenly glared and said in dissatisfaction: "What are you? You dare to come and question my lord! Do you believe it or not and beat you up!"

Zhang Liao smiled coldly and said, "I'm not sure if Zhang has lived to such an age, I really don't know who else in the world can beat me up?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Qi and said, "But Liu Zhenxi did misunderstand. Zhang Liao did not go to the army to seek revenge or deliberately wanted to make trouble for the general. Zhang Liao came here and wanted to ask the Lord and Hou for advice."

Dian Wei was about to speak and scold him, but saw that Liu Qi had reached out to block his words.

"What do General Zhang want to ask?"

Zhang Liao did not answer directly, but delivered the wooden pot in his hand to Liu Qi.

"please!"

Liu Qi looked down at the wooden pot.

But Zhang Liao said with a straight voice: "This is the best wine, it is a private store of a certain family... It is not poisonous!"

Liu Qi heard this and said, "Nonsense, you're still drinking it just now, it's weird if you're poisonous."

He laughed: "General Zhang is quick to speak, don't worry, Mr. Liu is not that stingy."

After saying that, he reached out to take the wooden pot from Zhang Liao's hand, raised his head and took a sip, and handed it to Dian Wei.

Dianwei was immediately happy and hurriedly took a wooden pot, drinking and eating fish.

Liu Qi also wiped his mouth with his palm and said, "What do General Zhang want to ask?"

"Zhang wants to know, Junhou is here tonight, what are you waiting for?"

"What are you waiting for?" Liu Qi raised his eyebrows: "How would the general ask this?"

Zhang Liao calmly said: "Since entering Bingzhou, General Liu's marching has been slow. He seemed to be in a hurry to chase Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang soldiers, but instead he was in charge of every step. Yesterday, Liu Xuande asked the general that the general was guarding against Yuan Shao's soldiers in Bingzhou. However, according to Zhang Liao's view, Yuan Shao had something to do on the eastern front now, and the main force general would never be in Bingzhou. So I want to know who the Lord is guarding against? Do you really think that Yuan Shao's troops will definitely come over?"

Liu Qi ate the fish with a smile and said, "Of course."

"Why are Junhou so sure?"

Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao and said, "General wants to know so much?"

Zhang Liao nodded heavily and said, "Of course I want to know."

"Okay, then I will tell you... First of all, judging from the route and speed of the withdrawal of the Xiliang army, I have already guessed that Yuan Shao must have ambushed against me in Bingzhou now, but how many people have been ambushed and who is the leader? I don't know yet. The enemy is in darkness and I am in light, so I naturally have to be more alert."

Zhang Liaoqi said: "Why is the general so sure?"

"We first marched fast horses in Liangzhou, traveling 200 miles a day to quickly catch up with the five generals of the Western Liang army, but when I chased them, I found that things were a bit too easy."

Liu Qi said: "Li Jue and Guo Si have gone north a few days ago. Even if we are both cavalry, most of the Western Liang army are also cavalry. If Li Jue really marched hastily, there will definitely be many Liangzhou soldiers who fell behind along the way. But in fact, from the time we were chasing us to the present, we have not even caught a fallen tongue. The general thinks this is in common sense?"

Zhang Liao didn't expect that Liu Qi would think of such careful details, and his heart couldn't help but jump.

It's really insightful!

Seeing that Zhang Liao agreed to his idea, Liu Qi continued: "So, in order to test the other party's reality, I deliberately slowed down the marching after entering the Bingzhou border. I am not afraid of being thrown away by the Liangzhou army. If they have no tricks, it means that they were caught up by us the last time. I just need to marches faster and be able to catch up with them at any time... But the fact is, even if I slowed down the marches, we were still not thrown away by the Liangzhou army... and we could even find the village where they were searching for prison."

Liu Qi pointed at his feet: "This is Yuan Shao's territory. After all, these villagers are all people under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction. When the Xiliang army came to Hebei, 80% of them wanted to point at Yuan Shao for dinner. Is it appropriate for them to burn, kill, loot on Yuan Shao's territory?"

Zhang Liao was a smart and intelligent person, and suddenly thought of what Liu Qi was thinking.

"The general's meaning is that the Xiliang army will search here with the acquiescence of the people in Yuan's army, in order to lead us over?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Look, after coming here, there are even survivors to guide us... What a coincidence!"

Zhang Liao suddenly realized: "These people from the village told us that the Xiliang army would go to Yuandu and enter Jizhou territory, which was forcing us to chase us quickly..."

"Yes, any normal person who hears that the Xiliang army is likely to enter Jizhou through Yuandu will naturally not let them go. I guess they will immediately order to chase the Xiliang soldiers overnight, but once this happens, they will be ambushed."

Liu Qi paused and said, "We have seven thousand cavalry now. Although we are elite, our troops are too single. Once we are deeply trapped in a siege, we will die."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized and said, "No wonder the general did not advance here tonight, because he did not attack the enemy's plan."

"Yes, there are people waiting for us in front of us, why do I deliberately drill in?" Liu Qi threw himself into his hand and said, "I will wait for them all night, let them lie in an ambush to polish his morale. When they are in short supply in the future, I will lead my troops to chase him again, and the effect will definitely be much better than chasing him now."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized.

He bowed to Liu Qi and said, "I heard about General Liu's ability to use military forces for a long time. When I saw him today, I realized that what I said was not false. Zhang Liao was convinced."

Liu Qi smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have said these words to you."

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this: "Why? The general looked down on Zhang?"

"no."

"Why is that?"

"I will die in your hands. I will be very kind to King Chen. It's okay if I can't take revenge. Now I'm not talking to his enemies here."

Zhang Liao heard this and said strangely: "The general and King Chen's bloodline are not close, and in the past they were all their masters. The emperor has already pardoned my sins, so why should the general worry too much?"

"The emperor is the emperor, I am me." Liu Qi said lightly: "General Zhang, after the question is over, please ask you to go back."

Zhang Liao sighed and said, "Although the general doesn't welcome me, Zhang Liao admires the general's character more and more."

After saying that, Zhang Liao bowed to Liu Qi and stood up and left.

While eating fish, Dian Wei looked at Zhang Liao's departure back in confusion and said, "June, are you bothering him?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Of course I'm not annoyed. If I'm annoyed him, why should I tell him so much?"

"Then do you chase him away?"

"It is precisely because I don't bother him that I want to drive him away-this is called."

"What's the way? It's because he killed King Chen back then?"

"It's not only this, he is now also under the command of the Taishi. It's not convenient for me to get too close to the Taishi's commanders. In terms of the overall situation, maintaining the relationship between me and the Taishi is the most important thing at the moment."

Dian Wei couldn't understand this, so he shook his head and simply stopped listening, and then began to eat fish and drink.

...

On the other side, on both sides of the official road leading to the Yuandu, the coalition forces led by the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army have been ambushing here for several hours.

As dark as it is today, the soldiers lying here did not dare to light the fire, so they were trembling with the cold.

Li Jue sneezes violently, then turned to look at a soldier in armor behind him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Ju, didn't you say that Liu Qi will definitely lead his troops here tonight? Why haven't he come yet? Wait a little longer, it's cold!"

This person is Ju Su, who was reused by Yuan Shao in the Jizhou clan.

Ju Su looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The reputation is well-deserved. This Shanyang Liu Lang's ability is real. It seems that he has guessed our intention."

Li Jue stomped his feet hard and said, "I guessed it, so I'm waiting for nothing? I'll withdraw my troops early, so I'll do whatever I should do!"

Ju Su raised his hand: "Not busy."

"What are you doing?"

"If I were Liu Lang, I would not advance. Let us wait for a night, and then wait for the next day to advance, waiting for the effort."

Li Jue said angrily: "You all know, why haven't you withdrawn your troops?"
