The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 258 Execution of Zheng Bao
Zheng Bao entered the front yard of Liu Ye's house, and when he was still far away from the front hall, he sniffled: "Zi Yang, what smells so good?"

"It's nothing, it's just good wine." Liu Ye replied with a smile: "Earlier, I asked someone to bring back a few jars of good wine, but I was not willing to taste it. The general is here, so of course I have to open it for the general to taste."

"Zi Yang has a heart, he knows I like this." Zheng Bao smiled and quickened his pace.

When he came to the front hall, Liu Ye said to Zheng Bao: "General, please take your seat!"

"This is your home, how can I take the seat!" Zheng Bao declined and said, "You have to be the seat!"

"It is indeed my family." Liu Ye replied: "However, the entire Chaohu Lake belongs to the general. If the general does not take the seat, who else would dare to take the seat?"

Zheng Bao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Zi Yang's words are good, so I'll take the seat!"

"General, please!" Zheng Bao was asked to sit down, and Liu Ye took the accompanying seat.

"Lu Fengxian led the army to Chaohu Lake, thanks to Ziyang's calm mind." After sitting down, Zheng Bao said: "Thinking that he might send troops to attack, I can't sleep or eat well!"

"It's a bit hypocritical for the general to say that." Liu Ye replied with a smile: "There are tens of thousands of horses in Chaohu City, and there are only a few people around Lu Fengxian? With his little manpower, what can he do to the general?"

"It's not that he can do anything to me." The maid next to him poured wine for Zheng Bao, and he frowned and said, "It is said that he is very brave. I'm afraid that if he rushes into the city, I won't be able to handle him."

"There are tens of thousands of warriors under the general's command, and they can't beat him alone. Is it possible that he will be shot to death with random arrows?" Liu Ye raised his wine glass and said to Zheng Bao: "Don't think too much, general. If Lu Bu dares to come, I can't take care of him." Go back alive!"

"With Zi Yang's words, I'm quite relieved." Zheng Bao rolled up his sleeves and said to Liu Ye: "Zi Yang has a heart and entertained him with fine wine. I thank you in advance!"

After drinking, he looked at Sun Ce standing beside Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, why don't the soldiers around you retreat?"

"This man is my personal bodyguard." Liu Ye replied: "He is always by my side on weekdays, especially at home. He never leaves. Villagers who come from the mountains don't know much about etiquette. Here, why don’t you back down?”

Liu Ye winked at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce did not back down, but raised his head and said, "I respect Lu Wenhou. I heard that he is very brave and treats his subordinates very generously. It is really unpleasant for the two of you to speak ill of him here."

"It's just a mere soldier, how dare you say nothing!" Sun Ce talked about Lu Bu's benefits to his face, and Zheng Bao immediately became angry, and shouted to the door: "Come on!"

The guards he brought followed all the way to the door, and they didn't come in until they entered the house.

Zheng Bao thought that if he yelled, the guards would rush in and take Sun Ce down, but he didn't expect that after yelling, none of the guards came in.

"This is..." No guards came in, Zheng Bao felt something was wrong, and quickly looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye was holding the wine glass, pretending to be drinking. Seeing Zheng Bao looking at him, he put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's rare for the general to come here for a banquet. In order not to disturb the general's interest, I asked the guards to go away. General Care, you and I continue to drink!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and gestured towards Zheng Bao.

Already aware that something is wrong, Zheng Bao is still in the mood to drink.

He suddenly stood up and said to Liu Ye, "Liu Ziyang, what exactly do you want to do?"

Before Liu Ye could speak, Sun Ce stepped forward and said to Zheng Bao, "I don't want to do anything, I just borrow your head for use!"

Sun Ce wants to borrow his head, even if Zheng Bao is stupid, he will know what happened.

He pulled out his saber, pointed at Liu Ye and shouted: "I have always treated you kindly, but I never thought that you would cooperate with thieves to harm me."

"The general offended Marquis Lu Wen, and sooner or later his life will be taken away." Liu Ye said, "I know the general will not listen to advice, so I don't persuade you. I planned to wait until the city of Chaohu is destroyed, and then I will take advantage of the chaos to escape. Unexpectedly, Marquis Lu Wen actually sent an old friend from the past, I thought what they said was right, anyway, the general can’t escape death, so why not lend me his head as a gift to see Marquis Wen!"

Knowing that he has fallen into a pit, Zheng Bao will catch him without a fight.

Before he knew who Sun Ce was, he rushed over with his sword in hand.

Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, of course it cannot be for nothing.

Zheng Bao threw himself in front of him, and just as he handed out the long sword, Sun Ce turned his head to avoid the sword piercing his throat.

After dodging, he stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Bao's neck, first yanked it up, and then slammed it to the ground.

Sun Ce exerted all his strength, and when Zheng Bao was thrown to the ground, his neck made a "crack" sound, and he was thrown to death abruptly.

Poor Zheng Bao, who dominated Chaohu for many years, ended up being thrown to death in the end.

After chopping off Zheng Bao's head, Sun Ce packed it in a bundle, handed it to Liu Ye and said, "Zi Yang can take this head to see Marquis Wen, and Marquis Wen will reward you generously if he knows your merits."

Taking the head with both hands, Liu Ye asked: "Don't you want to use this head to ask for merit?"

"My credit is on the battlefield. I'm just Zheng Bao. Killing him doesn't count as any credit!" Sun Ce replied, turned around and left with his long sword in hand.

Liu Ye followed him out of the front hall.

Before welcoming Zheng Bao, Liu Ye had already arranged a lot of people in the front yard.

The guards brought by Zheng Bao were invited to a side room for dinner.

Hearing movement from the front hall, a vigilant guard noticed something was wrong and ran out to check.

But they failed to send the news of Zheng Bao's killing back to their companions.

When the soldiers Liu Ye arranged to wait in the courtyard saw Zheng Bao's guards coming out, they immediately rushed forward and chopped them into pieces.

After killing Zheng Bao, Liu Ye walked out of the house carrying the head.

Sun Ce followed beside him, and behind them were Liu Ye's soldiers.

When they were about to reach the city gate, Liu Ye and Sun Ce saw that the flag on the city gate had changed.

Earlier, Zheng Bao's flag was still on the top of the city, but now it has been replaced by Lu Bu's military flag.

The head of the city was taken by someone, and the defenders in the city immediately exploded.

Many Chaohu troops rushed to the city gate.

At the same time that the Chaohu army was rushing to the city gate, Lu Bu was also leading two thousand soldiers, approaching Chaohu City.

Arriving at the city gate earlier than other Chaohu troops, Liu Ye carried Zheng Bao's head onto the city wall.

The Chaohu army who arrived first arrived.

They were about to take back the city gate, when Liu Ye at the top of the city shouted: "Zheng Bao is short-sighted, provoking Lv Wenhou is tantamount to seeking his own death, I have already killed him, who wants to follow in his footsteps?"

Hearing Liu Ye's shout, the Chaohu army who had not yet launched a counterattack stopped and looked up at the top of the city.
