Chapter 74 Assassination (Thanks to the most beautiful wife of God for your generous support ~ Your wife of God is so beautiful ~)

Shouchun City.

Zheng Tai was happy for several days after receiving 5,000 shi of grain.

If Lu Bu could really keep his 10,000 troops as agreed, he would be recommended as the prefect of Jiujiang.

Then his future life will be secure!
He trusted Lu Bu more than the fickle Yuan Shu.

After all, Lu Bu had promised Zhou Hui and Liu Qi to recommend them as prefects, and he later kept his word.

So he believed that Lu Bu would not deceive him.

When he thought about the better life in the future, he couldn't help but feel his mind wandering.

In a wonderful mood, he immediately went to the largest brothel in the city, intending to have a good night there.

When Zheng Tai arrived at Luanfeng Tower, he was immediately warmly received by the brothel owner.

The madam asked happily:

"Hey~ What brings Lord Zheng here today?"

Zheng Tai said happily:

"Of course it's the wind of wealth and honor!"

The madam's eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that the man in front of her was going to become rich.

The smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and she asked in a coquettish voice:

"Then I wonder which girl your Excellency wants to favor today?"

"Of course it's the top-ranked Miss Shuang'er." Zheng Tai said, and threw out two large gold ingots.

A golden light flashed in the madam's eyes. She was immediately surprised and reached out to touch the gold ingot.

But halfway through her hand, she suddenly remembered something and could only smile bitterly:
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. However, Miss Shuang'er has her period today and is resting upstairs.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to please you..."

"Really? That's a shame."

Zheng Tai also knew that it was inconvenient for a woman to accompany guests when she was having her period.

Just when he was about to choose another girl, a pleasant and charming voice suddenly came over:

"Since Master Zheng is here, no matter how uncomfortable I am, I must serve him comfortably."

Hearing the voice, Zheng Tai and the madam were both delighted and looked upstairs in the direction of the voice.

I saw a beautiful woman with a pretty face, coquettish clothes and snow-white thighs walking down the stairs with enchanting steps.

Zheng Tai looked at the woman who exuded a charming aura, and his mouth suddenly became dry.

I wish I could pounce on her and kill her right there!

But when he thought of what the madam had just said, he calmed down a little and said to the beauty who was already sitting in his arms:
"I heard that Miss Shuang'er was not feeling well today. If Miss Shuang'er wants to rest, this general will not force her."

Chu Shuang'er gently stroked Zheng Tai's neck with her hand. The itchiness brought by her fingertips made Zheng Tai feel distracted.

Chu Shuang'er smiled sweetly and said:

"Since Lord Zheng has come in person, how can I hand you over to someone else?

"Even if my place is uncomfortable, other places are still fine~
"Even if I don't use that part, I can still make adults feel comfortable~"

Listening to Chu Shuang'er's charming voice, her breath was as sweet as orchid.

Zheng Tai couldn't hold back any longer, he picked up Chu Shuang'er and said to the madam:

"Please accept those two gold ingots. When I become a governor, these two girls will be mine alone!"

Zheng Tai laughed heartily while carrying Ruanyu upstairs.

After arriving at an empty room, he couldn't wait to throw Chu Shuang'er on the bed and enjoy her...

When Zheng Tai lay on the bed, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the ultimate caress brought to him by Chu Shuang'er.

He didn't notice that a cold murderous intent suddenly flashed in Chu Shuang'er's eyes.

He quietly took out a sharp dagger from the collapsed gap.

Before Zheng Tai could notice anything, the sharp dagger pierced his throat in an instant!

Zheng Tai’s eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Chu Shuang’er in disbelief.

But he couldn't even scream, he could only cover his neck which was constantly bleeding, and soon died under the woman...

Chu Shuang'er wiped off the blood that splashed on her face. At this time, a man slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Chu Shuang'er immediately got off the bed and knelt down in front of the man:

"Master Zhang, I have accomplished your mission..."

The man in front of Chu Shuang'er was none other than General Zhang Xun, who followed Yan Xiang's strategy and was sent by Yuan Shu to assassinate Zheng Tai.

As for Chu Shuang'er, she was naturally one of Yuan Shu's spies planted in Shouchun City a long time ago.

Zhang Xun said "hmm" with satisfaction:
"Thank you for your hard work. But before you leave, please do me a small favor.

"Just now, I heard you two playing around, and it really irritated me."

As he spoke, Zhang Xun slowly untied his belt under Chu Shuang'er's shy gaze...

……

Jiujiang County, Liyang County.

Originally, the magistrate of Liyang County rejected Lu Bu's conciliatory policy by relying on his 5,000 soldiers.

So Lu Bu personally led an army of 20,000 and surrounded Liyang County without attacking it.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, the magistrate of Liyang County finally opened the gate and surrendered.

Lu Bu had just taken over Liyang County and was preparing to hold a celebration banquet to reward his soldiers.

However, at this time, bad news suddenly came from Shouchun City!

"What?! Zheng Tai is dead?"

After listening to the news reported by Huang Zu, Lu Bu's face changed instantly.

We were originally planning to take over Shouchun after taking Liyang.

I didn’t expect that Zheng Tai was assassinated?
As soon as Zheng Tai died, the 10,000 troops under his command were immediately taken over by Zhang Xun, a general under Yuan Shu.

The current Shouchun City belongs to Yuan Shu.

This news undoubtedly disrupted previous deployments and plans.

If they wanted to attack Shouchun City by force, not to mention that Yuan Shu's army was already on the way.

Even if they hadn't come, it would have been extremely difficult to capture Shouchun City given its solidity and the 10,000 defenders there.

Lu Bu had a headache.

Failure to capture Shouchun means loss of voice in Jiujiang County.

Once Yuan Shu had made some achievements, he would submit a petition to the court to gain control of the entire Jiujiang County.

I guess there was no reason for the court to reject him.

At that time, I would either have to withdraw from Jiujiang obediently or disobey the emperor's will.

Either way, it is disadvantageous to them.

Unable to think of a solution for the time being, Lu Bu immediately looked at Zhou Yu beside him:

"Does Gongjin have a good plan to deal with this?"

While Lu Bu was thinking, Zhou Yu was also thinking about how to solve the problem.

Hearing Lu Bu's question, he said confidently:

"That depends on whether you want Jiujiang County or want to completely eliminate Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise:

"Gongjin, do you mean to help me completely eliminate Yuan Shu?"

Zhou Yu rubbed his index finger and thumb together:
"It's easy to deal with Yuan Shu.

"If it were Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the others, it wouldn't be that simple."

Lu Bu's mood suddenly improved:
"Yuan Shu is certainly not a strong enemy, but he is not as weak as imagined.

“But with Gongjin’s advice, I am still confident that I can defeat him.

"Gongjin, please tell me the specific plan first."

However, what Zhou Yu said next made Lu Bu frown:
"In my opinion, you can first abandon Liyang, Hefei, and Ruxu Port, and lead the army and civilians back to Lujiang!"
