Chapter 477: Delivering the Message, Using Chicken Feathers as a Token of Authority

"When did Zhang Meng and his men leave?"

"About half a quarter of an hour ago, they left the city from the northwest gate and headed for the canyon in the north."

One of them answered tremblingly. After learning the answer, Cao Zhang waved to the people beside him, and someone immediately stepped forward and carried the two away.

Faced with Sun Ce's ridicule, Cao Zhang was annoyed, but he had no way to refute.

"They have only walked for half a quarter of an hour. How far can they go at their speed? It's still in time to catch up now. If you talk nonsense for a few more words, you really can't catch up."

Cao Zhang was also holding back a breath of anger in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhang Meng, who had been with him for two years, was actually Liu Bei's man. At the same time, he was sweating coldly. Even Zhang Meng under his command was Liu Bei's man, so who else under his command could he trust?

It was not until then that Cao Zhang really understood why Sun Ce was so cautious. Cao Zhang didn't even dare to think about how many people under their command were Liu Bei's spies.

"Heh."

Sun Ce chuckled lightly, and his figure flew away like an arrow from a bow. At the exit of the canyon, he found his mount and began to gallop towards the north. Cao Zhang in the city looked at Sun Ce's figure in thought.

In a valley north of the military town, two figures were standing there. They were crawling on the ground, trying not to expose themselves to other people's sight. Even their horses were lying on the ground obediently at this moment.

"Brother Meng, can Brother Li do it?"

The young man next to Zhang Meng asked in a low voice with some concern. He was born with a good face, fair skin, handsome face, a real handsome man, and it was a bit abrupt to lie here at this moment.

Zhang Meng smiled and glanced at the young man.

"Why, Lao Li can't do it, but you can?"

"No, no, no, Brother Meng, I don't mean that, it's just that Brother Li usually looks..."

The young man hesitated, the words were on his lips, but he couldn't say them.

"Looks stupid, doesn't it?"

Zhang Meng directly said what the young man wanted to say but couldn't say. The young man lowered his head in shame, but Zhang Meng smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Let me tell you this, the old Li you usually see is what he wants you to see."

After saying these words, the two fell silent at the same time, no longer speaking, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.

But Zhang Meng's face seemed to be a little sad. He looked up and stared blankly at the Yizhou military camp in the distance, and the whole person was silent.

They and the old Li mentioned in the mouth were divided into two groups. Old Li was responsible for going to the Yizhou military camp outside, and spreading the news that Sun Ce had been promoted to a legendary general in the Yizhou military camp, so that the brothers in Yizhou would know this news, and the probability of transmitting the news to Qingzhou would be much greater.

At this moment, Old Li had already arrived near the Yizhou military camp. When the soldiers of Yizhou saw Old Li approaching, they did not have any vigilance, but walked forward instead.

"Aren't you a brother of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Why are you alone? Where are our lord and general?"

Old Li walked towards the two men with a smile, took out two wrinkled pancakes and some meat from his armor, and handed them to the two men.

"I just won a battle and am going to report back to Xudu. Come on, this is the spoils we gave you, have some too."

"No, no, no, brother, this is too expensive."

"We don't dare, we don't dare."

The two gatekeepers said hurriedly. Pancakes and meat are all good things. They can only eat them at celebration banquets or festivals. Now facing the pancakes and meat handed by Old Li, their mouths have begun to secrete saliva crazily, and they keep swallowing saliva.

Their conversation also attracted the attention of other people near the gate, and they turned their heads and forgot to come over. Seeing this scene, Old Li sighed secretly. It seems that this life is still not saved.

He did not give the cake to the two people again, but took it back, wrapped the meat with the cake, and then took a big bite. The two people standing opposite were even more confused. What does this mean? He was going to give it to them just now, why did he eat it himself in the blink of an eye.

Lao Li ate voraciously in front of a dozen soldiers guarding the city. He was so delicious that the gatekeepers were hungry. After the two cakes and meat were eaten, Lao Li choked and rolled his eyes. Someone handed him a water bag. After Lao Li took it, he drank it without saying a word.

"Now it's good, I can still be a starving ghost."

"Brother, what did you say?"

The third-rate general in charge of guarding the gate frowned slightly. Lao Li's voice was too soft, and he didn't hear what Lao Li said clearly, but the next moment, a spear blade cut across his neck, a blood mark pierced his neck, a head slowly slid down, and warm blood gushed out.

"Sun Jian's son Sun Ce has been promoted to a legendary general!"

Old Li shouted at the barracks with all his strength. This sudden scene shocked the other guards. They stood there stupidly holding their spears, forgetting to resist for a moment.

After shouting, Old Li raised his spear and started to fight against more than a dozen people. In just a moment, more than a dozen people fell in a pool of blood.

But his roar just now attracted many people in the barracks. When they saw the people wearing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry killing their comrades, their first reaction was not whether the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was fake or betrayed, but how those who were killed offended the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers.

Lao Li looked at the incoming group of Yizhou troops, a look of determination appeared on his face, and with all his inner strength, he roared again towards the military camp.

"Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, has been promoted to a legendary general! This news must be conveyed at all costs!"

This sentence has been stirred up from within, allowing the sound to spread to the people in the military camp.

Almost everyone in the Yizhou military camp heard this roar.

The Yizhou soldiers who were attracted finally realized that something was wrong, but they did not dare to take action against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Until a first-class general with a big sword came here, they all gathered together as if they had found a backbone. Behind the general.

Lao Li narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen that first-class general. In the battle some time ago, he teamed up with another person to kill Meng Huo's brother Meng Jie. His strength was definitely not weak.

"grass!"

Lao Li cursed angrily, but still stubbornly raised his spear and pointed it at Deng Xian. Deng Xian snorted coldly.

"Come here, capture him. Don't kill him. I want to see how Cao Cao will explain when he comes back!"

Deng Xian was very happy. He had long disliked Cao Cao and his party. Yizhou was obviously their territory, but they made Cao Cao and the others their masters. Now that he had the opportunity to question his guilt, how could Deng Xian let go? Pass.

With Deng Xian's order, the Yizhou troops became bolder and surrounded Lao Li. However, as a soldier who wanted to show off approached, another head flew up, and Lao Li again Taking action, this time, he waved his spear and killed Deng Xian.

Deng Xian's expression turned even colder. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to take action even at this time.

"Grandpa comes to get you personally. I promise that you will not be able to survive or die. Even if Cao Cao comes, he can't save you!"

After that, Deng Xian brandished his sword and rode forward to capture Lao Li himself. Lao Li was not afraid at all and still made a sound with his inner strength.

"Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, has been promoted to a legendary general! This news must be conveyed at all costs!"

He didn't know who in the Yizhou Army was like them, so he could only use this method to convey the message.

Deng Xian slashed out with a sharp sword, trying to break off Lao Li's arms, but Lao Li stood there motionless, quietly waiting for Deng Xian's attack. At the last moment, Deng Xian stopped the offensive. He was still afraid of Cao Cao. With Cao Zhang and the others, if the other party uses this as an excuse, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

So what was originally a slashing attack turned into a slap. The thick blade hit Lao Li on the head, causing his head to buzz. After the blow, Lao Li could hardly stand, but he still managed to He repeated the words just now, then pulled out the iron drill from his waist and stabbed it into his neck.

This scene stunned Deng Xian. He really didn't want to kill the person, but just wanted to use this reason to sharpen the other person's spirit. Who knew that the person just shouted twice inexplicably and ended his life on his own.

"Horse-riding, madman!"

Deng Xian glanced with disgust and slapped the person next to him.

"Look, what are you looking at? Go and clean up!"

After finishing speaking, he was still angry and spat at the corpse.

When they were about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared from a distance. In just a blink of an eye, the figure came to them. Before Deng Xian could even give an order, the figure showed a tiger talisman.

After seeing the tiger charm, everyone including Deng Xian stopped and looked at the person carefully, trying to see clearly who he was through his black veil.

"He was the only one here just now?"

Sun Ce's cold voice sounded. He did not show his true face. Revealing his true face here would only cause unnecessary trouble.

"He's the only one."

"Who did you meet and what did you say?"

Deng Xian originally wanted to be brave enough to ask the other person, but when he met those eyes, a strong thought forced him not to do anything disrespectful.

"Only those of us have seen it, and those."

Deng Xian said, pointing to the body at the entrance of the camp.

"Only four sentences were said, which seemed to be about Sun Ce, Sun Jian's son."

"Who heard what was said?"

Sun Ce frowned under the black hood. He always had a bad feeling. There was only one person left among the original three, and where were the other two.

"The whole camp should have heard it."

"What?"

Sun Ce's entire aura was instantly revealed. The huge pressure caused the soldiers close to him to bleed from their mouths and noses on the spot and lay on the ground unable to move. Even Deng Xian was suppressed by this aura and could not breathe.

"He made a sound with his inner strength and shouted four times in a row. He should have heard them all."

Deng Xian used all his strength to say such a sentence.

"Waste! Waste among wastes!"

Sun Ce's rebuke was as if he was talking about heaven's decree, and the ordinary soldiers nearby were killed in an instant. Deng Xian was also shocked by this rebuke and was so shocked that he vomited blood.

He was completely devastated at the moment. What the hell is this? He just got a job patrolling the camp, how could he end up like this?

"From now on, without my order, no one is allowed in, not out, even Liu Zhang. Anyone who disobeys the order, no matter who it is, will be killed!"

Originally, Sun Ce thought that he would kill whoever the other party saw, but he did not expect that the other party would use this method to let the entire military camp know. Sun Ce couldn't kill the entire Yizhou Army.

The best way now is to seal the camp so that the news cannot be passed on.

Deng Xian, who received the order, felt that the pressure on him disappeared, and he saluted Sun Ce.

"I obey the order!"

After Sun Ce looked around, he left quickly. Just like when he came, he disappeared in front of Deng Xian in the blink of an eye, and the other people who stayed in the camp also gathered here.

Deng Xian picked up the half of the tiger talisman in his hand and looked at it carefully under the sun, with a face full of expectation and fascination.

"Deng Xian, what's wrong? What happened just now?"

Yan Yan said in a deep voice. He was the governor of Ba County. He had a high position, was old, and had great abilities. So usually everyone would be polite to him, but Deng Xian was different. He was not convinced by others. Now he had the half of the tiger talisman left by Sun Ce, and he was very proud.

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing Deng Xian's attitude, Yan Yan's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to reprimand him, he saw Deng Xian raised half of the tiger talisman.

"Pass my order. From now on, no one is allowed to enter but not leave! Where are the guards? Guards, surround the camp for me. No one is allowed to leave! If anyone tries to break in, they will be killed!"

The guards belong to Liu Zhang alone. There are only 2,000 people, but their strength is not bad. This is a camp specially divided by Liu Zhang in order to increase the probability of having special soldiers. It is full of the best from each camp and only obeys Liu Zhang and the tiger talisman.

After receiving the order, the chief of the guards did not even ask why, and immediately led his subordinates to surround the camp.

"Don't stay here either. Each person goes in one direction and guards all the exits of the camp. Do this until the lord and his men come back!"

Deng Xian felt like he was holding a chicken feather as a command arrow. He pointed at other first-class generals and asked them to guard the camp. Other first-class generals, especially the old Yan Yan, were so angry that they blew their beards and glared at Deng Xian, but there was nothing they could do, because the other party had the tiger talisman.

Looking at the whole camp moving, Deng Xian couldn't help but smile suddenly.

At the same time, on the other side of the canyon, Zhang Meng and the young man were still crawling on the ground, maintaining this action. Although they could hold on, the horses could not hold on to this posture and had already returned to a standing state.

"Brother Meng, when are we going to leave?"

The young man asked curiously. At the beginning, he was very puzzled. Why did the two hide here and not go with Lao Li? After leaving the canyon, each of the three people went in a different direction. Even if they wanted to chase, it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
