Linjiang country, the capital city of Gangneung.

The originally tiger-eyed and majestic Gongao Shawl collapsed in the dormitory, several cases were smashed to pieces, and the wine lord fell to the ground, filling the house with a mess.

"Excuses, all excuses!!" Gong Ao roared, "Yingbu's wife was killed by the assassins in Linjiang Country, and it is also counted on the head of the widow?!" Yingbu is a robber, and he will go to war. Wu Rui can't see that it's a conspiracy?! ”

The thin-waisted palace maid who was dealing with it on the side carefully lowered her head, for fear that something would happen to Gong Ao in a hurry. Without Gongao's consent, they didn't dare to help him clean up easily.

"Good, good... It's all good... There is not a good thing among the princes of this world..."

Gong Ao suddenly lay on his back on the ground, half-squinting and not knowing where to look.

A bearded man with an angry face appeared at the door, "Yingbu killed King Huai, the king is King Huai Zhuguo, and his actions now are also commonsense." ”

"Commander Huang...?!" Gong Ao looked sideways at the man, "Commander Huang dares to trespass into the dormitory, is he going to assassinate him?" Whether it's good, it's good, Commander Huang used to be Yingbu's old acquaintance, and when the Linjiang army was dealing with the two countries, he cut off the head of the widow and gave it to Yingbu. Yingbu will definitely give Commander Huang a reward..."

"The minister has no such intention! The minister was just worried about the king's body, so he came here. Huang Jizhong said hurriedly, "The king doesn't have to worry, Gongzi has already sent troops to Nanyang, and he will definitely be able to resist Yingbu." Linjiang is the best at water warfare, and Wu Rui will not succeed if he wants to attack Linjiang from the waterway. ”

"Heh... Commander Huang is less pretended, the widow has seized the commander's military power, and he is under house arrest in Jiangling, I'm afraid that he has already accumulated deep grievances in his heart, right? If you want to kill, you can kill, and the widow will become the commander. Come... Cut it down today! ”

Gong Ao said, forcibly twisting his body and putting his head at Huang Jizhong's feet.

Plop –

Huang Jizhong hurriedly knelt on the ground to help Gong Ao up, but was pushed down by Gong Ao.

"Quickly cut off the widow's head, this is the king's order!" Gong Ao Tiger roared.

"Your Majesty... Why bother?! Huang Jizhong's head slammed on the ground, "A few days ago... The envoy of King Changshan Zhang Er, Guan Gao, wanted to persuade the minister to assassinate the king, but the minister flatly refused. The minister is loyal to the king, why is the king suspicious of the minister to this extent?! ”

"Hmph..."Gong Ao smiled disdainfully, "Yingbu is not a good thing around him, and Commander Huang was also assigned to Lishan because of his criminal offense, right?" You don't kill the widow, maybe it's just because the time hasn't come. Hell knows, what do you do with Yingbu! ”

Huang Jizhong has a bitter argument, he committed the punishment only because the punishment of the Qin State was too harsh, but after being severely punished, he began to deliberately oppose Qin Law in a hurry, and finally became the leader of the robbers. When he was in Lishan, he knew that he and Yingbu were not fellow travelers, so they parted ways.

King Chu Huai is the nominal leader of the Qin Alliance, Gongao is the pillar state of King Chu Huai, and Linjiang is Huang Jizhong's favorite choice.

Before Yingbu killed King Huai, the two monarchs and ministers were still harmonious. Now, Gong Ao wants to kill Huang Jizhong with only one excuse!

trespassing into the king's bedroom, this crime is enough for Huang Jizhong to be killed, but it's time to employ people again...

To kill or not to kill? Do you use it? Gong Ao also didn't know how to choose.

"Nothing to say, right? The widow punished Commander Huang for being good at the palace! Gong Ao frightened, he knew that Huang Jizhong's temper would be unwilling to justify, and he happened to take advantage of Huang Jizhong's urgency to get something out of his mouth.

"The minister is willing to smear the liver and brain for the king, but now is not the time to die, Linjiang still needs the minister!" Huang Jizhong raised his head suddenly, with blood marks on his forehead.

"Hehe..."Gong Ao Kankan stood up and sneered, "Commander Huang just said that there is no need to bother with this battle, how can he go back on his word?" This is another sin of deception. ”

"The minister did not deceive the king, it is indeed not difficult to deal with Jiujiang and Hengshan, and in addition, you need to be vigilant against Bashu!" Huang Jizhong hurriedly said, "If you don't take precautions, I'm afraid that the people of Bashu will be able to capture Jiangling within half a month!" ”

"Bashu?"

"Exactly!" Huang Jizhong explained, "Yingbu is a treacherous person, and when he followed Xiang Yu to fight, he never fought alone, and he was always accompanied by someone. Ying Bushe's wife asks for war, and the person who accompanies him will definitely not be Wu Rui, Ziying will not conspire with Ying Bu to kill the Qin army. The only one who can accompany it can only be Bashu! ”

"There is some truth, after Lu Pheasant seized power, it is normal for Bashu to behave without rules..."

Gong Ao muttered, but in his heart there was a different plan.

He had never heard of Yingbu fighting with others, and he thought Huang Jizhong was lying.

Jiujiang's soldiers are strong and strong, Wu Rui's strength is extraordinary, and Linjiang is extremely difficult to deal with the two countries. Huang Jizhong told him to defend in the west, making it clear that it was to give the two countries a better chance to destroy Linjiang.

His heart can be punished!

"Then according to Commander Huang's words, what should the widow do?" Gong Ao asked with a grim face.

"Return to the king, let the prince return half of the 50,000 army against Jiujiang, and lead the minister to garrison in Yiling. If Bashu dares to march, it will be their death! Huang Jizhong said excitedly.

"What about the 30,000 horses that deal with Hengshan?" Gong Ao asked.

"The power of Hengshan State under the anger of the country cannot be underestimated, and Linjiang can only be defended by relying on the terrain. Linjiang does not need to respond to the enemy, the 30,000 army refuses to hold for a while, and then send a lobbyist to inform Wu Rui of the reason, and then he can retreat! ”

Gongao thoroughly "figured out" Huang Jizhong's thoughts.

Don't resist Jiujiang, but resist Bashu and Hengshan, all for the sake of Yingbu! Traitor!

"Commander Huang really thinks that more than 20,000 men and horses can deal with Yingbu?" Gong Ao is giving Huang Jizhong one last chance.

"This..."Huang Jizhong was a little embarrassed, and said, "With all due respect, Gongzi's 50,000 horses are not opponents. Yingbu should have made a foolproof plan before sending troops, and no matter how many people go, they will be sent to death. Nanyang is already managing emptiness, so it is better to give it to Yingbu now. The king refused to defend Xiangyang, and it was the best policy to occupy only the southern county..."

"The best policy? What a good policy, there are only two counties in Nanyang County and Nanjun in Linjiang Country, and this best policy is to abandon the rich Nanyang? Let Yingbu swallow most of the Linjiang Kingdom without spending a single soldier? Gong Ao's killing intent had already made up his mind and roared, "The widow knew early on that you had bad intentions!" And sure enough, it was! ”

"Why should the king only look at temporary gains and losses?! It's a long time coming. Huang Jizhong persuaded bitterly, "Nanyang is already a dead place, why did you lose your soldiers and hurt the country for the sake of death?" ”

"Shut up!!"

Gong Ao suddenly stretched out his hand and waved, and several flying arrows suddenly flew out from both sides of the dormitory, shooting Huang Jizhong into a hedgehog in a pool of blood.

Huang Jizhong spat blood from his mouth, dying, his eyes blinked lightly, and he looked at Gongao unwillingly.

"Your Majesty... The minister is really dedicated to the country..."

"Keep these words for the ghosts, and maybe they will like to hear them." Gong Ao raised his leg and kicked Huang Jizhong.

"Ah!!h

The arrows placed behind the side all pierced Huang Jizhong's chest, and the painful Huang Jizhong's eyes spit out, and his whole body trembled violently. He had to say something, but he couldn't make any more noise.

"Come out, throw this useless thing out."

Gong Ao waved his hand casually, and behind the screens on both sides, the four armored guards walked out together, picked up Huang Jizhong's body and left.

Gong Ao sat back on the bed and sighed secretly, a general can go all the way to the dormitory without being blocked, and the archers who are temporarily ambushed are all arranged by him, but he just wants to know what Huang Jizhong's intentions are.

I can't think of the worst-case scenario.

Gong Ao originally thought that if Huang Jizhong was scared to honestly confess all kinds of things with Yingbu, he would not have to die today.

When the time comes, he will be released from house arrest and send Huang Jizhong to deal with Wu Rui, and he will be able to leave him with a reputation as a generous monarch, killing two birds with one stone.

"Alas, the widow can ignore the fact that you are a robber, but he cannot easily forgive a traitor!" Gong Ao shook his head and muttered, "Keep saying that for Linjiang, maybe your death is the greatest benefit to Linjiang." ”

Powerful talents are not used by him, and Gong Ao is a little disappointed in his heart.

Gollum –

A palace maid lightly raised her foot and kicked away the wine lord who was stained with Huang Jizhong's blood.

"Why are you stunned?!" Gong Ao frowned, stretched out his finger and pointed at the blood stains on the ground, and shouted angrily at the frightened palace maid.

"Slave... So I went to find something to wipe it off. The palace maid calmed down and left the palace as if she were fleeing.

"Alas... It's really not true... Ahem, ahem... When the widow dies, he must... Let you be buried with you! ”

Gong Ao clutched his chest and coughed violently, his face flushed sickly. The Imperial Physician Ling had already told him that he would only survive next year at most. Just now, in order to no longer show weakness in front of Zhao Jizhong, he deliberately pretended to be healthy.

"It has to be... Kill traitors, kill disobedient minions... to give Wei'er... Leave the intact Linjiang country! They can't be allowed to do whatever they want..."

Gongao's limbs were weak, his eyes were closed and he was slumped on the bed, and there were faint blood stains at the corners of his mouth.

"Which one do you want to kill first tomorrow?" Gong Ao's mind was full of people to kill.

"Report! Your Majesty, something is wrong! The fat eunuch ran to kneel outside the palace in panic.

"What's the matter?!" Gong Ao forcibly sat up and glared at the eunuch angrily, "Who dares to communicate with foreign enemies?!" ”

"It's not a traitor, it's... It was the people of Yufu City who found that hundreds of boats in Bashu had entered the river, and it seemed that they were... It seems that he is coming to attack Linjiang Kingdom! The eunuch shouted on the ground.

Yufu City is built at the junction of Daba Mountain and Fangdou Mountain, close to the river. It is the closest city to Bashu in Linjiang State, and Gongao set up personnel to monitor it early in order to guard against Bashu.

Gong Ao's whole body was cold, and he stared blankly at the remaining blood stains on the ground, "Commander Huang didn't deceive the widow... He really said it... Lu Pheasant slut dares to do this?! Look at the widow and don't kill her with his own hands! Ahem, ahem..."
