Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The next moment, Gu Wei threw the book in his hand towards Zhang Lu's face.

"Snapped!"

This time, not only Zhang Lu was stunned, but also the people who had followed Zhang Lu were stunned.

Immediately, generals such as Yang Ren and Yang Ang became furious, drew their swords and shouted angrily.

"Be bold!"

Facing the gleaming swords, Gu Wei sneered, then stood up suddenly, raised his head and said, "Please chop off my head quickly, don't hesitate."

"you……"

Yang Ang, who was quite impulsive by nature, was provoked by the prisoner. He was so angry that his breathing became heavy, and he immediately raised the Han sword and was ready to attack.

Instead, Yang Ren was startled, and quickly held down Yang Ang and persuaded him.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Lu reacted and gave orders quickly without caring about being angry.

"stop!"

However, Gu Wei, who was only two steps away from the sword, was not afraid. Instead, he raised his hand, pointed at Zhang Lu and started cursing.

"You are such a good rice thief. You have trapped me here for a day and ruined my plan. I have no face to go back and report to the Prime Minister. Even if you don't kill me today, I will die here. You will accompany me in the underworld soon."

Immediately, Gu Wei, who seemed to be furious, looked around, then fixed his eyes on the high wall six or seven steps to the left. He thrust his head forward, quickened his pace, and looked as if he was going to die by ramming his head against the wall.

This action frightened Zhang Lu so much that his face turned pale. He no longer cared about his identity and rushed forward in two steps, hugged Gu Wei with both arms, and shouted.

"Han envoys must not be impulsive, absolutely not be impulsive..."

Gu Wei also struggled and shouted.

"Let me go. I, Gu Wei, have been brought up by the Prime Minister's side for many years. I ruined the Prime Minister's plan on my first mission. How can I still live in this world with dignity?!"

After hearing this, Zhang Lu was even more frightened.

It turns out that Gu Wei is also a popular figure around Li Ji. With these two identities, if he really died here, the whole Hanzhong would be doomed.

This is not a Han envoy, he is clearly our ancestor!
If something happens to this ancestor, these grandchildren will also be in trouble.

However, Zhang Lu lacked training after all. After just a few breaths, he could not hold Gu Wei anymore. His face turned red and his neck became thick from the exertion, and he shouted angrily to the people behind him.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and stop the Han envoy."

Yang Ren, Yang Ang, Yang Song and the others suddenly woke up as if from a dream. They rushed forward and grabbed Gu Wei, and all of them joined in to stop Gu Wei from committing suicide by banging his head against the wall.

Zhang Lu, who had ruled Hanzhong for many years, also felt for the first time in a long time that he was treated with humility and caution as if he were an elder, and said with a smile.

"Let's talk it over, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

At this moment, it was no longer a question of apologizing, but rather that Gu Wei must not be allowed to die here and Hanzhong must not be implicated.

Even if I die, I have to die outside Hanzhong County...

The three tribes really can't stand this kind of torture.

No matter how hard Gu Wei struggled, he was no match for the huge man. After a while, he was out of breath and had no strength left.

But no matter how Zhang Lu, Yang Song, Yang Bai and others spoke, Gu Wei always looked determined to die and said nothing.

For a moment, the more Gu Wei wanted to die, the more guilty Zhang Lu felt.

Zhang Lu was distressed and helpless. He couldn't help but glared at Yang Ren several times, angry at Yang Ren for bringing back a living ancestor. He said all kinds of nice things to apologize, and even Zhang Lu proposed that the tiger guards who were accidentally injured or killed would be compensated with 100 gold coins, but Gu Wei still didn't respond at all.

As for Zhang Lu, after racking his brains, he mentioned that he would send a team of elite soldiers to escort Gu Wei along the way so that Gu Wei could reach Xiliang as soon as possible, Gu Wei actually gave some response.

Zhang Lu was very pleased to see this and continued to persuade him.

"The Han envoy just stayed in Yangping Pass for one more day. I have prepared good horses for the envoy, and there is also a team of elite cavalry to escort the envoy. I will definitely allow the envoy to reach Xiliang as soon as possible, and it will not affect the envoy's important affairs."

Gu Wei frowned slightly, seeming to be somewhat tempted.

Just when Zhang Lu was about to strike while the iron was hot, Gu Wei's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhang Lu.

"Even so, do you think you can escape the blame? Those guards were originally the Prime Minister's personal guards, and now three of them have been killed by you. If the Prime Minister blames us one day, not only you, but I will also be punished."

"This……"

After this series of events, Zhang Lu was already in great confusion. When asked by Gu Wei, he even had the idea of ​​handing over Yang Ren's head to calm his anger.

However, Zhang Lu also knew that this was a last resort. Once Yang Ren was really killed, Hanzhong would be on the verge of collapse.

"Does the Han envoy have any good advice for me?" Zhang Lu asked.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Gu Wei signaled the group of big men who were still holding him down to let go, and then he spoke.

"Now that I have been stopped by you, I believe you can roughly guess why I was ordered to go to Xiliang. It is to borrow Ma Teng's troops to attack Sili and finalize the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition."

After a pause, Gu Wei leaned forward, stared at Zhang Lu, and spoke.

“That’s where the opportunity lies.”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said, "Does the Han envoy want me to send troops to attack Sili as well?"

Gu Wei replied. "That's right. With the great merit of helping the Prime Minister in the Northern Expedition, the Prime Minister will not mind a few minor mistakes. Who knows, you may even be able to claim the credit of following the emperor."

"This……"

Zhang Lu was in a state of panic and confusion for a moment.

Because of his enmity with Liu Yan, Zhang Lu had no good feelings towards the Han Dynasty, so he always maintained a relatively neutral attitude.

Seeing Zhang Lu's hesitation, Gu Wei, who had learned a lot of information about Zhang Lu from Li Ji when he was a book boy, spoke slowly.

"I will not hide it from you. The Prime Minister knows everything about Hanzhong. For example, Hanzhong now has more than 48,600 armored soldiers, and Nanzheng's granary has 12,000 hu of grain..."

Every time Gu Wei said something, Zhang Lu became more frightened.

What Gu Wei said was not entirely correct, but it was not far off. This shows that in Li Ji's eyes, Hanzhong was as easy to destroy as reading the lines on the palm of your hand.

Gu Wei continued to talk to himself. "And the Prime Minister has also discussed his views on Hanzhong in private. He is very unhappy with the so-called integration of politics and religion of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect..."

Zhang Lu's face turned pale, and he staggered as if he had heard a verdict.

"Of course..."

Gu Wei deliberately prolonged his voice, which made Zhang Lu's heart tense again, and then he continued.

"You have set up a charity house in Hanzhong, provided free rice and meat, taught the people to be honest and not cheat, and do more good deeds. Your actions and your heart can be said to be benevolent. The Prime Minister is very pleased with you."

Zhang Lu's face suddenly glowed with radiance, and he asked without thinking.

"Is the Prime Minister really saying so?" (End of this chapter)
