Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 264: The government and the public are shaken! (Thanks to Shuishuiahshuishui, Pinglanchutingyu, and Baiqi for their monthly ticket support~)

Li Jue and the other two's faces changed drastically!

Just when he wanted to stop his horse, the warhorse under his crotch rushed directly into the trap camp due to inertia!

When the cavalry following closely behind tried to catch up, the infantry of the Xianzhen Camp immediately fired hundreds of rifles!
He stabbed to death all the dozen or so ordinary cavalrymen who followed in, and then blocked the hole.

In an instant, only Li Jue, Min Gong, Hu Cai and a handful of cavalry were left in the Xianzhen Camp.

All around them, long spears with sharp cold rays had already surrounded them in 360 degrees!

Gao Shun rode out slowly, looked at Li Jue who was terrified, and said in a cold voice:

"Long time no see, Li Zhiran."

Li Jue's brows showed strong uneasiness, and he replied coldly:
"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Gao Xiao!"

Hearing the anger in Li Jue's words, Gao Shun didn't even bat an eyelash, but just indifferently persuaded him to surrender:
"After all, you and I have worked together before, so put down your weapons and surrender.

"Marquis Wen... No, Lord Chu will most likely reuse you based on what happened in the past."

"I bother!"

A fierce look flashed in Li Jue's eyes:
"This general is loyal to the current emperor!
"That bastard Lu Bu received the emperor's favor and was promoted to a higher position, and was also given two counties.

"He is not grateful, but repays kindness with hatred. He is such a heartless person!
"Is such a person worthy of the loyalty of a loyal and righteous man like you, my father?"

Gao Shun slowly raised his head and glanced at the gray sky, scenes from his past life emerging in his mind.

After a long while, he closed his eyes slightly, feeling a ray of sunlight penetrate the dark clouds and shine on his face:
"If it was the former Wen Hou, maybe it really wasn't worth it...

“But since I have chosen to be loyal to him, no matter what he becomes, he will always be the only light in my heart!

“But the current Lord Chu is no longer comparable to the former Marquis Wen!

"He is not only the light in my heart, but he will also become the light in the hearts of people all over the world!

“Being able to serve the current Lord Chu is the happiest thing in my life!

"As for your claim that he repays kindness with enmity... do you really think that our military advisers can't see through your plans?

"Once you take back Hanzhong, will we still have a chance to get Hongnong County?"

Hearing that the other party already knew his intention, Li Jue fell silent.

He looked at Gao Shun, whose gaze was as firm as a rock.

He knew that the other party's loyalty to Lu Bu was much higher than his loyalty to the emperor.

Convincing the other party to submit to the emperor is even more difficult than convincing the emperor to submit to the other party!

Li Jue no longer wasted his breath:

"In that case, then stop talking nonsense! Let me teach you and see if your martial arts have improved!"

As he said this, Li Jue prepared to step forward and fight Gao Shun.

But at this moment, Min Gong and Hu Cai behind him looked at each other and suddenly attacked at the same time!

One of them swung out an iron hook and hooked it onto Li Jue's neck, while the other held a three-pronged fork and fiercely stabbed it into Li Jue's lower back!
Suddenly stabbed in the back by his men, the intense pain forced Li Jue to open his eyes wide!

He turned around in disbelief and looked at Min Gong and Hu Cai, his voice hoarse and trembling:
“You…actually…”

Before he could finish his words, Min Gong suddenly exerted force with the iron hook in his hand!

The next moment, Li Jue's neck spine was cut by the sharp hook blade!
Li Jue's head instantly fell backwards, but did not fall off. Instead, it was hung on his neck by the bloody skin!

Although the vitality in his eyes quickly faded, those big eyes filled with resentment stared at Min Gong and the other two like evil spirits!

Min and Gong were so frightened that it took them a long time to realize that Li Jue was dead.

The two men immediately dismounted and bowed to Gao Shun, saying, "Min Gong, the Marquis of Duting, and Hu Cai, the commander of Baibo, are willing to surrender to you, General!"

Gao Shun looked at the two men coldly, not feeling happy at all because they had stabbed Li Jue in the back.

After all, these three people have no other options left, so the other cavalrymen are not a concern!
Li Jue was not only a friend of his, but also a good martial artist.

The most important thing is that he did not surrender directly and still had some integrity.

If we can subdue him, the lord will have another great general under his command!
But now, two cowards actually stabbed their commander in the back...

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gao Shun's eyes.

However, considering that there were still thousands of cavalrymen who had not been subdued, Gao Shun pretended to be grateful and allowed the two men to recruit those light cavalry.

The light cavalry saw that their main general was dead and the other two generals had surrendered.

There was no need to fight anymore, they all laid down their weapons, dismounted and surrendered...

In this battle, Gao Shun only lost a few soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp, but captured more than 7,000 cavalrymen!

These seven thousand people were forced by Gao Shun to return to Fengxiang City.

Under Min Gong's persuasion, the 3,000 defenders of Fengxiang City directly opened the city gate and invited Gao Shun and his men in.

Gao Shun confiscated all the weapons from the 10,000 prisoners in the city.

It was not until Han Dang arrived with an army of 20,000 that he stopped pretending and immediately ordered his men to capture Min Gong and Hu Cai!

Min Gong and the other two were terrified and cried out in dissatisfaction:

"The two of us helped the general kill Li Jue, persuaded Fengxiang City to surrender, and persuaded 10,000 soldiers to surrender!
"Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. Why did the general want to kill us two?"

Gao Shun shouted coldly:

"Even if you two don't kill Li Jue, he can't escape even if he has wings!
"Li Jue refused to surrender, but you two stabbed him in the back just to survive?
"Since you two can do such a thing today, won't you backstab other generals in the future just to save your own lives?

"Considering that you two have indeed made great contributions, this general can spare your bodies!"

After saying this, Gao Shun ordered his men to drag Min Gong and the other man out and behead them, regardless of how they begged for mercy.

Gao Shun then pacified the other soldiers and, together with Han Dang, managed Fengxiang City in an orderly manner.

During this period, Hu Miao, who had abandoned Li Jue, also joined Lu Bu's army.

The captured Fan Chou was also willing to surrender after being persuaded by Gao Shun.

As for Li Jue's nephew Li Li... perhaps it was out of a little guilt.

Gao Shun released him back to the court and asked him to take a letter to Emperor Liu Xie.

They said that their conspiracy had been exposed and that their master was very disappointed with the emperor's decision.

From now on, Lu Bu’s army will no longer provide any help to the court!

The words are not final, but the situation of breaking up is inevitable!
As Li Jue's 40,000-strong army was completely annihilated, people from all over Hanzhong gradually returned to their hometowns.

The people of Hanzhong all heard that it was the emperor's generals who robbed Lu Bu's army of their food.

They also hunted down Lu Bu's soldiers and oppressed the people of Hanzhong, so Lu Bu's army decided to fight back against the court!
Although that was the imperial court, in the eyes of the people of Hanzhong, he was just a bully!
And Lu Bu’s army that fought back against the bully are naturally heroes!

In addition, most of the people in Hanzhong are believers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.

Under Zhang Lu's operation, they became more and more convinced that the actions of Lu Bu's army were just!

The people of Hanzhong spread the news from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.

As the Five Pecks of Rice Sect spread, the news gradually spread to other areas within Lu Bu's territory.

The negative impact of Lu Bu's army's attack on the imperial army was therefore reduced to a minimum!
When Li Li brought the news back to Chang'an alone, the entire court was shocked!
