Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 508: Chaos, the Family Leaves

"Minister Chang! Have you thought it through?"

"If you really don't agree, I will ask Your Majesty to return to the court."

"Although your Majesty is determined to quell the rebellion, we are running low on food and fodder, so we have no choice but to return..."

Chang Lin heard that Zhong Yao was going to put the blame on him, so he had to grit his teeth and agree even though he was reluctant.

But he nodded and said: "In this case... we can only do our best."

Zhong Yao seemed very happy to hear this. Seeing that he had finally convinced Chang Lin, he laughed out loud: "Hey... If you want to do it, you must succeed."

"This matter is of great importance. If it is accomplished, it will be a great achievement. If it is not accomplished... it will be a death sentence."

"Okay... I won't talk about this today. I'll come back to look for the Minister tomorrow when we start collecting food and grass."

"Today...just have a good rest."

After saying that, this guy just left.

Seeing that he had been successfully dragged into the water and then ran away, Chang Lin's face could no longer be suppressed and became extremely ugly.

He cursed: "You are such a Zhong Yao! Since you are so disrespectful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After scolding like that, Chang Lin couldn't even rest!

He could not sit still at the moment, so he went to look for his fellow countyman and good friends, Zhao Zi, who was also Taichang, and Xun Wei, the captain of the Yue cavalry.

The two men saw Chang Lin coming in a hurry and looked extremely anxious, knowing that something big had happened.

Right now, people in Yecheng are in a panic, and everyone is afraid that Cao Pi will be watching them at any time.

Seeing Chang Lin like this, he thought that Cao Pi had tricked him, but he didn't expect that although he didn't take it seriously and attacked directly, it would happen soon.

...

"This... Bo Huai, you are so confused!"

"If you are not careful in raising food and grass, you will be doomed!"

"How could you agree to this?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zi became worried!
I had a feeling that Chang Lin was extremely confused to agree to such a thing.

Xun Wei said beside him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I think Bo Huai agreed because he had no choice."

Chang Lin sighed when he heard this, and then he explained everything that had happened since Zhong Yao came.

Zhao Zi realized that Chang Lin was wronged, but he was still confused and asked, "Zhong Yao has never had any friendship with us, let alone any hatred. Why is he targeting us?"

Chang Lin thought about it and recalled the confrontation between Zhong Yao and himself, but shook his head helplessly and said, "It shouldn't be that he is targeting us intentionally."

Seeing Zhao Zi and Xun Wei looking at him in confusion, he explained, "The situation in Ye City is chaotic right now. Some want to make achievements, some want to leave, some want to protect themselves and claim to be sick, and some are hesitant and don't know where to go. Everyone has their own thoughts!"

"Zhong Yao is a man of merit, and he still holds on to his original thoughts, thinking that he can rise to prominence by following the Cao family!"

"We got the job of raising food, so we just randomly found someone. We are just unlucky."

Xun Wei was silent for a while before continuing, "No matter what the reason is, I heard that Your Majesty must collect all the food and fodder and send it to Hanoi within five days."

"But the food and grass in the camp have long been insufficient, and the people have no more food left. If Bo Huai takes on this task, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."

After saying that, he looked at Chang Lin carefully, and felt that he must have a very ugly expression on his face.

I didn't want to take a quick look, but I saw that Chang Lin's expression was not as ugly as I imagined. Instead, he looked a little relaxed, as if he had made some decision!

My heart skipped a beat and I had a vague premonition.

As expected, Chang Lin said, "Humph... Even gods can't raise food within five days." "This arrangement is clearly intended to kill me!"

"He is unkind and I am unjust!"

"In that case, I won't think any more and will head south!"

"You two...what do you think?"

This Chang Lin was quite sudden.

Without saying a word, he ran away.

Zhao Zi and Xun Wei were also shocked, but they quickly realized that this was a natural thing.

To put it bluntly, we were forced!
Don't want to do it?
No!

Can’t do it?
Gotta die!

It's not possible not to do this, but if I do it I'll die. There are only thirty-six strategies left, and the best one is to run away!

But since he has already decided to run away, why would he bother with the two of us?
Zhong Yao dragged you into this, and now you want to drag us into this!

It’s very troublesome!

Thinking of this, Xun Wei and Zhao Zi looked at each other, and their faces looked a little unhappy.

People...are all like this.

Even though you know that it will happen to you sooner or later, as long as it hasn't happened yet, you won't feel that much sense of urgency.

Once someone involves you in something, no matter how this person treated you before, you will feel uncomfortable.

But Xun Wei said, "Minister Chang...you are really confused!"

"Why are we going to the south? Can we still travel around at this time?"

Chang Lin shouted: "Don't pretend to be ignorant. What else can we do in the south now? We should go to Liu Bei!"

"Ah! Mr. Cui had foresight in the past and went there early. Why did he wait until today when the incident happened to him and panic like this?"

Chang Lin spoke and also pointed at the two people in front of him.

Chang Lin knew that it was not a good idea to tell his two fellow villagers about going south, so he quickly said, "Don't panic, I came here today to avoid the eyes and ears of the public."

"I want to drag you two into this, but you two are from the same hometown as me, and we have a friendship, so I have to warn you."

"Currently, Cao Pi is surrounded by close ministers like Zhong Yao, just like the Ten Attendants around Emperor Ling back then. Can such a person deal with the unparalleled benevolent and righteous Liu Bei?"

"I think you two have already read the letter Liu Bei issued to the world. I will go to Chang'an first. You two can see how he treats me."

"If it is really as the edict says...you two should think about it carefully!"

After saying that, Chang Lin bowed to Xun Wei and Zhao Zi, then turned and left!

Zhao Zi reacted and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Bo Huai! You must think twice before you act. There is no turning back after this!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Lin was forced into a corner and had no choice but to turn around and look at Zhao Zi and the others, then smiled and said, "You two, see you in Chengdu!"

After saying that, he waved and left without any hesitation...

Zhao Zi and Xun Wei were left behind, feeling very uneasy.

How can I not be nervous!
Chang Lin had thought it through and decided to just run away. What would happen to the two of them left behind?
It is said that he came here without letting anyone notice, but who would know?
When he leaves, if someone reveals that they had a secret conversation, they won't be able to explain it even if they have ten mouths!
There are only two options before them now: one is to quickly expose Chang Lin's escape to the south, and the other is to pretend that this incident never happened.

As for exposing it, although it can save both families, but...

Just as Chang Lin said, that trap... I really don’t know when it will be my turn!
