Chapter 951

"This junior was thinking of letting Tian Tong take you back together."

Zhang Liao looked at the alien cavalry outside the city and said: "Beigong Boyu's target is not this junior, but the Marquis."

"Therefore, he will definitely let people go back to report the news, and you and Tian Tong can successfully escape."

Hmm?

Xia Yu was stunned.

Zhang Liao said this...

He knew?

And he knew in advance?

"I don't mean to offend you, Old General Xia, but actually, as early as in Zhangye County, this junior knew that Beigong Boyu must have another purpose."

Zhang Liao recalled: "In the past half year, this junior has fought this guy Beigong Boyu no less than twenty times."

"This person is as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a wolf."

"Last year in the battle at Yunwu, he clearly saw the reversal of the battlefield situation early on, but he didn't tell all his allies and chose to retreat first."

"How could such a person put himself in danger?"

"If he really wanted to escape, the simplest way would be to let the Xiutu tribe cover him."

Xia Yu nodded.

Xia Yu had heard the name Beigong Boyu more than once.

This person could survive for many years in a place with such mixed situations as Liangzhou and always be successful; such a person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Zhang Liao's evaluation was very accurate.

Cunning as a fox, ruthless as a wolf.

"So... General Zhang knew from the beginning that Beigong Boyu was deliberately luring us?" Xia Yu looked at Beigong Boyu in surprise.

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "At first, this junior was only suspicious, but not sure, but later I gradually became certain."

"Therefore, as early as before, this junior had already sent people to notify the Marquis."

"And the Marquis's army must have already set out while we were pursuing Beigong Boyu."

Hiss!

Xia Yu's expression was surprised.

"Then you clearly knew this was a dangerous situation, yet you still jumped in without hesitation, just to buy time for the Marquis of Ji?" Xia Yu looked at Zhang Liao in shock.

Zhang Liao laughed loudly, looking up.

"I once heard the Marquis say a sentence."

Zhang Liao stepped on the battlement with one foot, his black cloak fluttering in the strong wind that rolled up the yellow sand, and said with high spirits: "If I do not enter hell, who will enter hell!"

"He, Beigong Boyu, dares to use himself as bait; why should I, Zhang Wenyuan, cherish this body!"

"He, Beigong Boyu, wants me to be buried here; why wouldn't I want him to be buried here too!"

"Haha, who isn't a fragrant bait!"

"He wants to gnaw on my, Zhang Wenyuan's, bones; let's see if he has teeth hard enough first!"

While Zhang Liao was speaking, the Qiang, Xiutu, and Huangzhong Volunteer Cavalry outside the city had already prepared for the first wave of probing attacks!

Inside the city, all eight hundred garrison troops dismounted, and long bows and powerful crossbows were set up on the city wall.

And below the city was a forest of long spears and swords, a scene of solemn killing intent.
