Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 494 The Death of Wei Zhongdao

But when Lü Bu's army entered Yangzhou, as they were walking, suddenly a group of chariots and horses in front of them came straight towards Lv Bu's army, and when they entered, they realized that it was Yang Hong who came.

"Yang Hong was ordered by my lord to come here to discuss peace with the Prime Minister, and please agree with the Prime Minister." Seeing Lu Bu, Yang Hong bowed and said sincerely.

"Yang Hong, if you were me, would you let Yuan Shu go at this time?" Lu Bu asked Yang Hong with a faint smile.

"Hehe, although my lord has made an unforgivable mistake, my lord is only ambitious and talented. Even if there are more people like my lord in the world, it will not have any impact on the prime minister's career. And the people around the prime minister Mr. Cao, however, kept it hidden. I think it was Mr. Cao who said that he would support my lord at the beginning, so my lord would take the risk and dare to proclaim himself emperor. Could it be that the prime minister can rest assured that Mr. Cao is by his side, but he is worried about my lord, Isn't this too ridiculous?" After hearing Lu Bu's answer, Yang Hong was obviously disappointed, but when Yang Hong turned around and saw Cao Cao beside Lu Bu, he suddenly had an idea, Cao Cao's resourcefulness surpassed Yuan Shu's ignorance Several.Since Lu Bu was able to keep Cao Cao by his side, he could also keep Yuan Shu by his side.

"Hahaha, what a Yang Hong, he is really capable, you can stay with me from now on, you don't have to go back to Yuan Shu, I will send someone to tell Yuan Shu, as long as he is willing to surrender, I, Lu Bu, will not kill them all. "Lu Bu kept Cao Cao by his side. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to cooperate with Cao Cao, but both Cao Cao and Lu Bu understood in their hearts that everyone was just playing. Cao Cao is Lu Bu's arch enemy. If Cao Cao was kept by his side, people in the world would think that Lu Bu was magnanimous. Since the imperial court could tolerate Cao Cao, it could naturally accommodate any other prince. Among the princes, Cao Cao must be the one who hated Lu Bu the most.And Cao Cao stayed by Lu Bu's side hoping to wait for the opportunity. Now that the strength of Lu Bu and Cao Cao is too different, it is impossible for Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu in a normal way. And Dong Zhuo, this laid the foundation for today.And Yang Hong can see this clearly, so he is naturally a talent, so Lu Bu also wants to keep him by his side.

"I would like to thank you, Prime Minister, but if I stay here, I am afraid that my lord will not believe in the sincerity of the prime minister. I also ask the prime minister to allow me to return to Shouchun to complete this important event for the prime minister." Next, the corners of Yang Hong's eyes moved slightly, and after a little thought, he cupped his hands to Lu Bu and said.

"Hahaha, Yuan Shu is just a mediocre person. If he is willing to surrender, he will lead the army. If he refuses to surrender, I don't mind killing him. You don't have to worry about these things." Regarding Yang Hong's words However, Lu Bu didn't care. For Lu Bu, Yuan Shu was just meat on Lu Bu's chopping board. Even if Lu Bu couldn't kill Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and Sun Ce would be anxious to kill Yuan Shu.So he waved his hands and two soldiers came up, only to hear Lu Bu say to them: "Take Mr. Yang Hong to rest."

At the same time, a group of soldiers and horses lined up neatly came out of Shouchun City, and the first general was Ji Ling.In the army, there are many vehicles guarding them. Apart from Yuan Shu's relatives, these vehicles contain a lot of property that Yuan Shu has collected over the years.Yangzhou was originally a rich place, and Yuan Shu had amassed a lot of wealth in Yangzhou in the past few years. But just a few days ago, Yuan Shu knew that he could no longer stay in Yangzhou, so he amassed money even more frantically, almost looting the entire Yangzhou At this time, Yuan Shu was going to leave Shouchun with his belongings, and go to his elder brother Yuan Shao.

"General Ji Ling, you should continue to stop and suffer from the chaos. General Ji Ling has lived and died for Yuan Shu for many years. Now that Yuan Shu's situation is gone, General Ji Ling should think about himself. Is it true that General Ji Ling really intends to do something for Yuan Shu?" Can't you be buried with him?" A tall and thin old man dressed as a sergeant beside Ji Ling quietly urged his horse to come to Ji Ling, and whispered to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling is very familiar with this tall and thin old man. This old man's name is Cui Zhen, and he is the steward of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce in Shouchun City. Over the years in Shouchun, he has not lost contact with Ji Ling. The two have done a lot of business together. , Ji Ling has really gained a lot, and he also trusts this old man very much. Now that Shouchun is not guaranteed, Yuan Shu is going to leave Shouchun.So this Cui Zhen pretended to be a soldier beside Ji Ling for the sake of safety, and hid beside Ji Ling. At this time, as soon as Fang left Shouchun, the old man said something that made Ji Ling's heart beat.

"Cui Zhen, who are you? Could it be that you are Lu Bu'an's secret agent in Shouchun?" Ji Ling was born in a family, so it is not easy to be fooled. He immediately heard the difference in Cui Zhen's words, and quickly Turning around, he looked at Cui Zhen warily.

"Hehe, General Ji Ling is right. I am indeed a member of the prime minister. I have done business with the general these years, and many strategic military supplies have been purchased for the prime minister. So in a sense, General Ji Ling It's from the prime minister's side, and now that the prime minister is in charge of Yangzhou, is it possible that General Ji Ling will miss such a good opportunity." Cui Zhen said with a sinister smile.Although Cui Zhen's words sounded plain, they caught Ji Ling's witty braid and left Ji Ling with no choice. Once Yuan Shu finds out about the matter, I'm afraid Yuan Shu won't let Ji Ling go easily.

"I don't know what the prime minister wants me to do? You don't want me to kill Yuan Shu, do you?" Although Ji Ling was a little moved, he still asked suspiciously.

"Of course not. The prime minister just wants Mr. Yuan Shu to go to Chang'an to support his life." Cui Zhen said to Ji Ling with a chuckle.

"Well, I don't know what should I do?" Ji Ling was silent for a while before asking.

"Hey, when we set off, I have secretly sent someone to inform the prime minister. I believe that the prime minister's army is coming at this time. The general only needs to hijack Yuan Shu and wait here." Seeing that Ji Ling finally made up his mind, Cui Zhen hehe said with a smile.

Yuan Shu was dozing off in his carriage when he suddenly saw Ji Ling walking over with a group of soldiers. Although Yuan Shu felt a little strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just waited for Ji Ling and others to walk in. Then he said lazily: "Ji Lingaiqing, what's the matter with you?" Although Yuan Shu has abolished his emperor title, he still habitually regards himself as the emperor who rules the world.

"I dare you, Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment." Ji Ling stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Yuan Shu.

"Oh?" Yuan Shu just groaned, as if he didn't understand what Ji Ling meant, when he saw the sound of armor shaking next to him, but another pair of armored soldiers rushed over, and these armored soldiers and Ji Ling The soldiers around him wore completely different clothes, but they were Wei Zhongdao's private soldiers.Wei Zhongdao was originally a descendant of Wei Qing, his family had a long history, and his family had raised private soldiers, and these soldiers were the private soldiers of the Wei family who had been following Wei Zhongdao.

"Ji Ling, do you want to rebel?" As soon as Wei Zhongdao's private soldiers appeared, Wei Zhongdao appeared among the crowd and shouted at Ji Ling.Although other people didn't pay much attention to the fact that Ji Ling led the troops, Wei Zhongdao had already seen the clues.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Wei Zhongdao's army is about to kill you. How dare you be arrogant when you are about to die?" Seeing that the matter was exposed, Cui Zhen also jumped out, and a group of soldiers also appeared behind him, standing with Ji Ling Together, they looked at each other with Wei Zhongdao's men.

"What do you say so much? Kill me." Ji Ling has been on the battlefield for a long time, but at this time he showed his true colors as a soldier. He shouted loudly, strode forward, and directly killed Wei Zhongdao, while Cui Ling Really, there was a strange look on his face, he was not in a hurry to lead troops to help out, he just asked his subordinates to surround Yuan Shu's frame, and let Ji Ling and Wei Zhongdao rush to kill each other.It turns out that Cui Zhen is an old man of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce. Although the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is under Lu Bu's influence, the big boss behind the scenes is Cai Yan. No one knows that Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao fought each other over Cai Yan, but he, as an old man of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is very clear.Originally, based on the hatred between Wei Zhongdao and Lu Bu, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce should have arranged for people to assassinate Wei Zhongdao in Shouchun, but because of the entanglement between Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan back then, no one in the Heqi Chamber of Commerce dared to even mention this matter As long as there is no such person as Wei Zhongdao in the world, at this time Ji Ling killed Wei Zhongdao, but Cui Zhen didn't move. Do something that shouldn't be taken care of, and this is also the law of Cui Zhen's survival in troubled times.You must know that the level of Lu Bu and Cai Yan is not what Cui Zhen should set foot in.

Here, Ji Ling and Wei Zhongdao's men were fighting together. Although there were many Yuan Shujun around, they were at a loss what to do, and they didn't know what happened.

"Withdraw." After a while, Wei Zhongdao saw that Ji Ling was powerful, and more than half of his own people were killed or injured, so he quickly ordered. Although Wei Zhongdao knew that he would never seek revenge against Lu Bu in this life, Wei Zhongdao had returned now. The sky is powerless, so he can only save his own life first.

"It's not that easy to leave. Go to hell." Seeing that Wei Zhongdao was about to leave, Ji Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he threw the trident far away towards Wei Zhongdao's back.

"Puchi" the trident came through the wind, and quickly penetrated Wei Zhongdao's back heart. Wei Zhongdao only had time to stretch out a hand to the sky, as if he wanted to grab something, but it was not enough because of the passing of life, and fell on the ground. He landed on the ground and ended his own cry.At this time, Cui Zhen looked at Wei Zhongdao's death, and looked at Ji Ling with pity, and immediately changed his smiling face before Ji Ling found out, and greeted him.As an old man of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, Cui Zhen knew Cai Yan's methods, and wondered if Ji Ling would be quietly killed by Cai Yan because of this.
