Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 655: Death of Wen Chou
Wen Chou was kicked to the ground by Zhang Sui and felt like his ribs were about to break!

If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely jumped up.

He followed Yuan Shao to Hebei in the past ten years. In the past ten or nearly twenty years, who dared to do this to him?

Even Yuan Shao didn't dare to do this back then!
But now, he dared not say a word.

Wen Chou got up from the ground, looked at Zhang Sui with a pale face and said, "I made a mistake, and it's okay for you to punish me however you want, lord."

"But please give me a chance."

"My lord, you didn't let my family get hurt because of my mistake. I will repay your kindness even if it costs me my life."

Wen Ze kowtowed and said, "My Lord, I am willing to accompany my father to atone for his sins!"

Zhang Sui rolled his eyes.

If you are given a chance to atone for your sins, what do you want others to think?
Three thousand elite soldiers were destroyed.

How many parents have sons?
How many wives' husbands?
The father of so many children!
Moreover, these are the elite!

This is not the kind of scale seen in games and novels before the time travel, where the population could easily reach hundreds of thousands.

Today, the total number of soldiers and horses in Hebei is less than 100,000!
Not to mention the elite.

Zhang Sui stretched out his hand from Wen Chou and said, "Tiger Talisman!"

Wen Chou was stunned and wanted to resist.

However, meeting Zhang Sui's cold gaze, Wen Chou gritted his teeth and handed over the other half of the tiger talisman, saying, "The other half is in Cao Ren's hands."

Zhang Sui narrowed his eyes: "."

This Wen Chou, does he really want to surrender?
It seems that I arrived just in time.

Otherwise, I really don’t know what the consequences will be.

Although in this chaotic world, surrender is commonplace.

However, he did not want to reuse someone who was disobedient, refused to listen to advice, and had the possibility of surrendering.

At least, he should not be allowed to hold the highest official position.

Zhang Sui ordered his personal soldiers to retrieve the other half of the tiger talisman from Cao Ren's body, while he said to Wen Chou: "I will not punish you for your years of fighting for Hebei. You have worked hard even if you have no merits. Besides, you have not yet surrendered Jiguan in time."

"Take a day off. Tomorrow you and Wen Ze will go back to Yecheng to recuperate and start over again."

"Don't blame me."

"Think about those three thousand elite soldiers!"

"These are not three thousand ordinary soldiers!"

"Even if there are 3,000 soldiers, because of your impulsiveness, you have left 3,000 families without their backbone."

Wen Chou was originally somewhat dissatisfied, but when he heard what Zhang Sui said, his expression dimmed.

Wen Ze also whispered: "Father, the Lord has done his best."

"The news of the incident here spread to Yecheng, and Yecheng was shaken."

Wen Chou glanced at his eldest son Wen Ze beside him, then looked up and sighed.

The next moment, he lowered his head, and knelt down as Zhang Sui frowned.

Zhang Sui reached out his hand, grabbed his arm and said, "Get up!"

"If a man makes a mistake, he must admit it."

"Reflect on yourself, there will be another chance in the future."

Wen Chou did not stand up.

Pushing Zhang Sui's hand away, he bowed to Zhang Sui, then raised his head and said to Zhang Sui: "My lord, I was ignorant in the past and did not listen to advice, so I suffered this defeat."

"Now that the lord has not executed me, and has spared my family, I am deeply grateful."

"But, my lord is also right."

"I made a big mistake."

"These are not three thousand ordinary soldiers, but three thousand elite soldiers."

"Behind this is the collapse of the backbone of many families."

"Even if the lord lets me go and doesn't kill me, I know there is no chance for me to get back on my feet." "My lord, it is impossible for you to reuse someone like me who made such a big mistake."

"The families of those three thousand elite soldiers will never let me go."

"In ancient times, it was difficult for Li Guang to be granted a title. I always thought that Emperor Wu was unfair to him."

"So, when Li Guang committed suicide in front of General Wei Qing's tent, I was indignant."

"But now I understand that it is the result of one's own actions that one will suffer."

Wen Chou suddenly burst into tears.

Zhang Sui looked down at Wen Chou, opened his mouth, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but swallowed his words back.

Indeed, Wen Chou was right.

He made such a big mistake this time. No matter how hard he tried, there was no way I could get him back to his current position.

Zhang Sui sighed.

Wen Chou cried for a while, then turned around and looked at his eldest son Wen Ze beside him and said, "Ze'er, today is your fault. I don't blame anyone."

"But you must remember your father's teachings."

"No matter what position you hold in the future, you must follow the lord's example, do not be arrogant, and do not ignore advice."

Wen Ze did not doubt him, but nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, father. I will remember it."

Wen Chou glanced at Wen Ze reluctantly. The next moment, with Zhang Sui's exclamation, Wen Chou quickly drew the sword from his waist and slashed his neck with it.

Blood spurted out and splashed onto Zhang Sui's face.

Wen Ze screamed, “Father!”

The guards who had their backs to Wen Chou turned around and looked at him in shock.

Wen Chou held his sword in his hand, looked at Zhang Sui, forced a smile on his face and said, "My lord, if I have the opportunity to serve under you in my next life, I will definitely not be so arrogant and will definitely listen to your advice--"

Before Wen Chou could finish his words, he fell in a pool of blood.

Wen Ze hugged Wen Chou's body and burst into tears.

Zhang Sui looked at Wen Chou's body and felt a little sad.

Why is this necessary?

It is indeed impossible for me to let you return to your current position, but with your martial arts and combat experience, it is still very likely that you can climb back to the position of General of the Central Army.

I, Zhang Sui, am not the kind of person who holds grudges.

Even if you really learn your lesson, I won't really ruin your career path.

Zhang Sui squatted down, looked at Wen Chou in Wen Ze's arms, sighed, and said after a long while: "The man is gone, Wen Ze, don't cry, and carry on your father's legacy well in the future."

Wen Ze held Wen Chou's body and cried for a long time before he collected Wen Chou's remains.

After a while, the personal guards brought the other half of the tiger talisman.

Zhang Sui looked at the two halves of the tiger talisman in his hand, then looked at Wen Ze standing blankly in front of Wen Chou's body, feeling mixed emotions.

When it was dark, Li Fu turned back and reported to Zhang Sui that he had sent his death squad to deliver the letter and Cao Ren's head to Ma Chao's camp on the other side of the river.

Upon learning that Wen Chou had committed suicide, Li Fu was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Gao Shun and Shen Rong arrived.

Zhang Sui called Gao Shun, Shen Rong and the generals over and arranged a battle with Ma Chao at dusk tomorrow.

Afterwards, Zhang Suicai personally paid tribute to Wen Xiachou.

Early the next morning, Zhang Sui sent some of Wen Chou's personal guards to accompany Wen Ze to escort Wen Chou's remains back to Yecheng for burial.

Looking at Wen Chou's personal guards transporting Wen Chou's remains back, Zhang Sui looked a little dazed.

He really didn't expect that Wen Chou would die in his hands one day.

Still the same way.

Although it was not his hand.
