The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 306 The ultimate winner
Shi Xie glanced back at Lai Gong, and made a helpless expression to express that he was helpless.

Seeing this, Lai Gong had no choice but to stop talking, he thought Dongfang Sheng would not do anything excessive.

"Who sent you?" Dongfang Sheng still doesn't understand when he offended Lai Gong and Wu Ju. It seems that these two people were unhappy with him from the beginning.

Seeing that Lai Gong failed to stand up for him, Wu Ju could only sigh secretly and admit that he was unlucky: "Dongfang Sheng, you and my lord Liu Jingzhou are still somewhat friendly, so why should you be so?"

Liu Biao!Dongfang Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately understood.

The alliance between Sun Ce and Liu Biao was because Dongfang Sheng persuaded Sun Ce to cause Huang Zu to lose his troops and run back to Jingzhou in embarrassment. This is definitely not a glorious thing for Liu Biao.

Liu Biao suffered a loss from Dongfang Sheng, and his subordinates, Lai Gong and Wu Ju, naturally wanted to show respect to Dongfang Sheng.

Seeing Dongfang Sheng's expression, Wu Ju felt that Liu Biao's reputation and prestige had overwhelmed Dongfang Sheng, so he couldn't help raising his voice an octave and said, "Are you still going to let me go?"

A cold light flashed in Dongfang Sheng's eyes, and before Lai Gong and Shi Xie could react, the Baipi dagger in Dongfang Sheng's hand sliced ​​across Wu Ju's throat.

Dongfang Sheng backed away quickly and said, "I made everyone laugh, I accidentally slipped my hand just now."

Puchi!

There was a splash of water.

Wu Ju clutched his throat, but the blood was like a leaking water pipe, and the blood mist sprayed out, and Wu Ju hadn't recovered from his shocked expression until his death.

"You...you!" Lai Gong didn't know whether it was because of fear or anger, he pointed at Dongfang Sheng for a moment and was speechless.

Shi Xie sat on his seat with a livid face and did not speak.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Wei Ji applauded vigorously: "Brother Meng is really powerful, how can Liu Biao's subordinates be compared with Brother Meng?"

Wei Ji and Dong Biao came in from the outside, not paying attention to Wu Ju who was already lying on the ground, but Lai Gong was obviously a little annoyed when he saw Wei Ji, but after a while, he regained his composure.

"Brother Wei Yan, please allow me to bury Wu Juhaosheng." Lai Gong was not in the mood to sit here and drink any more at this moment, and directly said goodbye to Shi Xie.

Shi Xie called two soldiers to help carry Wu Ju's body and followed Lai Gong out. At the same time, several soldiers brought water and rags to clean the ground.

It didn't take long for the ground to return to its original state. Dongfang Sheng had already put away the Baipi dagger, and sat in front of his food table to eat without looking sideways.

Shi Xie and Wei Ji kept watching Dongfang Sheng eat this plate and that plate without stopping. Finally, Wei Xie couldn't help but asked, "Brother Meng just killed a court official."

"Brother Boru is referring to that reckless man just now? May I ask who sent him to Jiaozhou?" Dongfang Sheng asked with a smile.

"This..." Wei Ji was speechless for a moment.

Lai Gong and Wu Ju were appointed by Liu Biao, not officials sent by the imperial court at all. Wei Ji used Wu Ju's identity to attack Dongfang Sheng, which really felt like shooting himself in the foot.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Wei Ke with a half-smile, and inserted the meat-cutting knife on the table into the roasted leg of lamb and said, "Brother Boru seems to have known Lai Gong and Wu Ju for a long time?"

Seeing Dongfang Sheng's unfriendly eyes, Wei Ji felt a little cold in his heart. Thinking of his own experience in Yizhou and Wu Ju's fate, he immediately thought of quitting.

Anyway, my task is done.Wei Ji comforted himself in his heart.

"We have to leave first, General Shi Zhonglang." Wei Ji bid farewell to Shi Xie. Of course, he deliberately mentioned Shi Xie's official title, in order to emphasize that Cao Cao gave Shi Xie all these. .

Shi Xie personally sent Wei Ji and Dong Biao to the door before returning to the hall.

Dongfang Sheng was nibbling on the mutton leg at this time, and he felt very refreshed with a mouthful of mutton and a mouthful of wine.

Seeing that Dongfang Sheng was still pretending to be stupid, Shi Xie laughed and scolded, "Meng Ren is trying to play endurance with this old man."

Dongfang Sheng swallowed the mutton in his mouth, then drank a glass of wine to moisten his throat and said: "I didn't see it clearly before, but now I finally understand it, you are always a cow!"

"Hey, the world is in chaos today, and all the heroes are rising together. I just want to keep one side safe and my hometown live and work in peace and contentment." Shi Xie suddenly sighed and said, "If we don't deal with it like this, how can Liu Biao and Cao Cao give up ?”

"So you use me as a gunman?" Dongfang Sheng asked back.

At first, Dongfang Sheng thought that these things were caused by Wei Qi and the others, but later he discovered that there was another behind-the-scenes manipulator, and that was Shi Xie, who could have made Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Dongfang Sheng all see him. Can't reach each other, but why did he want all three families to meet?
When Wu Ju broke in, Dongfang Sheng understood a little bit, but he was still not sure. Until Wu Ju was killed and Shi Xie remained silent, Dongfang Sheng completely understood Shi Xie's intention.

Shi Xie wanted to use Dongfang Sheng's power to expel Lai Gong and Wu Ju appointed by Liu Biao, but Cao Cao was not afraid of Shi Xie at all, because they were too far apart, Cao Cao probably understood, so he used The jade seal of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Shi Xie an orthodox identity.

Cao Cao's purpose is to contain Liu Biao's strength, not others.

Only Liu Biao had the intention of annexing Jiaozhou, which was the biggest threat to Shi Xie, so Shi Xie had already come up with a plan to drive away the wolf and the tiger as soon as he saw Dongfang Sheng.

But Dongfang Sheng was not angry, because Shi Xie probably had something good to say to him for being able to save himself until the end.

Sure enough, Shi Xie smiled slightly and said: "If Meng Ren can impress the old man in the future, I, Shi Xie, will definitely lead the people of Jiaozhou to submit to you."

"It's a deal!" Dongfang Sheng also knew that it was unrealistic to forcibly seize Jiaozhou at this time. Shi Xie had been operating in Jiaozhou for more than [-] years, and with the accumulation of the Sixth Shi Family, even if it was the later three-legged confrontation era, Sun Quan also had nothing to do with Shi Xie, so he had no choice but to appease him.

Of course, the words that Dongfang Sheng can get Shi Xie are not in vain. At least in the future, if the strength increases, it is estimated that it will be much easier to recruit Shi Xie.

When Dongfang Sheng was leaving, Shi Xie had asked people to prepare more than a dozen carts. Dongfang Sheng took a casual look and saw that the cart was full of: pearls, big shells, colored glaze, emeralds, tortoise shells, rhino horns, ivory, etc. Treasures, as well as exotic fruits, and bananas, coconuts, longan and the like.

Seeing these relatively rare and precious things in the Central Plains, Dongfang Sheng suddenly had an idea in his heart. He planned to open up a business road from Yizhou to Jiaozhou, and Tang Youqian was responsible for building this business road as quickly as possible. The two prefectures communicate with each other, so that even if Shi Xie doesn't want to surrender in the future, he can still control Jiaozhou through the economy.
