Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 581 Face it!
In fact, when Wu Zhi saw Gao Tanglong and Zhong Yao enter together, he felt something was wrong.

At present, he and Zhong Yao both knew the situation clearly.

What do you know clearly?

Wu Zhi knew very well what was going on with Zhong Yao.

Under such circumstances, Gao Tanglong came here with Zhong Yao. The situation is self-evident!

Gao Tanglong... that was a loyal and good man who fought together with Your Majesty in Yongning County!

But who would have thought that such a person would actually be in cahoots with Zhong Yao!
Wu Zhi was very surprised, but in fact Gao Tanglong was even more surprised than him!

After returning from Yongning County, he heard the news that Cao's army was losing ground in the Central Plains, and he became even more anxious and waited for the letter from Xing Daorong.

Thinking about his own surrender, he must be accepted by Liu Bei as soon as possible. Then he just needs to keep a low profile and wait for the royal army to arrive in Yecheng and accept him.

But unfortunately... no letters came from either Xing Daorong or Liu Bei.

This made Gao Tanglong feel uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei and Xing Daorong's letters did not arrive, but Zhong Yao's did.

The moment Zhong Yao took out the secret letter, he was completely stunned.

I never thought that... Zhong Yao, the loyal man in my heart, was actually Liu Bei's man.

But he couldn't help but believe it.

It was very simple. The meaning of surrender was clearly known only to Liu Bei and Xing Daorong. If Zhong Yao was not Liu Bei's man, how could he know it?
Only then did I realize that after the battle of Tongguan, the party had been infiltrated from the inside and became like a sieve.

I felt complicated for a moment, but mostly relieved.

After Gao Tanglong finished speaking, Zhong Yao nodded in agreement, looking at Wu Zhi with deep eyes: "Grand Marshal, the situation is critical right now, and we have come here to discuss the major plans with you."

Wu Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although he knew that the two guys had come with bad intentions, he still gestured for them to take a seat, and then ordered someone to serve them hot tea.

The aroma of tea wafted in the air, but it failed to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Wu Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you referring to the fact that Liu Bei's 100,000-strong army is approaching the border?"

Gao Tanglong shook his head, his tone heavy: "It's not just that. Grand Marshal, you and I are both ministers of Wei. I came here today to tell you frankly - the kingdom of Cao Wei is in danger."

Gao Tanglong's words were shocking, but when Wu Zhi heard them, he looked as if he had expected it.

He had known for a long time that Gao Tanglong would tell lies, and now he understood it even more clearly after hearing it.

But he said in a deep voice: "Why do you say that, cousin Gao? Although Wei is facing foreign threats, its foundation is still there. How can you say it is destroyed?"

Gao Tanglong seemed to have not expected Wu Zhi to be so calm and composed. He was slightly stunned and for a moment he didn't follow the plot and didn't know how to continue.

Fortunately, Zhong Yao was nearby.

But he sighed and said slowly: "Grand Marshal, you are always smart, how can you not see the current situation? Liu Bei has 100,000 elite troops approaching, and the powerful officials in the court are fighting for power. Your Majesty is exhausted and can hardly manage the overall situation. The people are in trouble both internally and externally, and the people are demoralized. Cao Wei is like a candle in the wind and may fall at any time."

Gao Tanglong took over the conversation, his tone becoming heavier: "Grand Marshal, you and I are both ministers of Wei, and we should be loyal to our country. However, the current situation is beyond the power of one person. If you continue to be stubborn, you may not only harm yourself, but also the people of the world."

The words are very straightforward.

Wu Zhi's face changed when he heard this. He glanced back and forth between the two men, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. After a moment, he slowly said, "What you two are saying, do you want me to... find another way out?"

Zhong Yao nodded slightly, and said firmly: "Ji Zhong, he who knows the current situation is a hero. Cao Wei is powerless to save the situation. If we continue to be stubborn, we will be destroyed. It is better to make plans early to protect ourselves and the people of the world."

Wu Zhi was silent for a long time. The teacup in his hand had already gone cold, but he was unaware of it.

If it were anyone else at this moment, they would have stood up and cursed, wondering what Zhong Yao meant.

However, Wu Zhi already knew that Zhong Yao had rebelled, so he naturally did not mention this matter at the moment.

Since it is right in front of him, he can naturally report Zhong Yao.

But does this make sense?
have nothing left!
The problem of Cao Wei is no longer a matter of catching Zhong Yao and one or two traitors.

Wu Zhi believed that in the entire Yecheng, Zhong Yao, Gao Tanglong and Liu Bei were the only ones who had connections!

I couldn't help but look out the window. The night was dark, as if foreshadowing the future of Cao Wei.

I don't know how long it took, but finally... Wu Zhi sighed and whispered, "I also feel what you two said. However, this matter is of great importance, so let me think about it again."

Gao Tanglong and Zhong Yao looked at each other and knew that Wu Zhi's heart was shaken, so they said no more.

The three of them sat in silence, only the flickering candlelight illuminated their solemn faces.

The night wind blew by, rolling up several pages of unread documents on the desk, as if foreshadowing the fate of Cao Wei, which was like these drifting pages, irretrievable.

...

There was no response to Xu Huang's letter.

He had thought of it a long time ago.

However, the movements of Liu Bei's army were even faster than he had imagined!
On the Guandu battlefield, the wind was howling and the sound of war drums was faintly heard.

Liu Bei's army swept in like a torrent, with eight routes of soldiers deployed in eight directions, flags covering the sky, swords and spears like forests, murderous aura rising to the sky, and they rushed straight to Xu Huang's tent.

On the first route, Xing Daorong led his army from the east, with shining iron armor and long axes as sharp as frost. The soldiers under his command were like tigers descending from the mountains, and they attacked the left wing of Guandu directly.

Xing Daorong held his axe horizontally and stood on his horse, his voice as loud as a bell: "Today, I will fight you and take your heads!"

On the second route, Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his Red Hare neighed like thunder, his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked as cold as frost.

He led his army down from the north, his green robe fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers behind him were like a green dragon emerging from the sea, with a magnificent momentum.

The third group, Zhang Fei, held a 10-foot-tall snake spear, rode a black horse like ink, had a leopard head and round eyes, and his voice was like thunder. He led his army from the west, and his soldiers were like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, with murderous aura.

The fourth route, Zhao Yun, holding a silver spear, riding a white horse as white as snow, wearing a white robe, is like a god descending from heaven. He leads his army from the south, the tip of his spear flashing coldly, and his soldiers are like white dragons tumbling, with great momentum.

The fifth route, Huang Zhong draws his bow and arrows, he is old but still strong, his hair and beard are all white but his eyes are sharp. He leads his army from the southeast, the archers are lined up like a forest, and the arrows are like rain.

The sixth route, Ma Chao holding a silver spear, riding a white horse as fast as lightning, the Xiliang cavalry swept in like a violent storm. He led his army from the northwest, the shadow of his spear was like a dragon, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Ma Chao's eyes widened in anger: "Ma Mengqi, today, I swear to avenge my father!"

The seventh route, Zhang Liao held a long halberd, his black armor was as black as ink, and his eyes were stern. He led his army from the northeast, and his soldiers were like an iron wall and copper wall, advancing step by step.

The eighth route, Wei Yan, holding a broadsword, riding a fiery red horse, with eyes like an eagle, led his army from the southwest, and his soldiers were like a raging fire, unstoppable.

The Eighth Route Army rushed straight to Guandu like eight giant dragons. In front of Cao's army, there was panic and the sound of war drums was deafening!
