Chapter 228: Zhang Xiu's death
Wudu County.
When Zhang Xiu led his subordinates to join forces with the barbarians such as the people and the Di people, Dong Yue, who was stationed in Wudu County, had already ordered people to strengthen the city defenses, whether it was rolling stones, wooden ramparts or arrows, they had already been prepared.
However, after all, Wudu County is not as brave as Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu's side is overwhelming, Dong Yue can only defend passively, and dare not go out of the city to face the battle.
When Zhang Xiu led the crowd to Wudu County, he immediately ordered the siege of the city, but the city defense of Wudu County was strong, and it was not easy to take it down, and whether it was his ghost pawn or the barbarian, in the final analysis, it was just a group of rabble like the Yellow Turban thieves back then.
And the barbarian combat method is indeed exactly the same as the Yellow Turban Thief back then, Zhang Xiu has 30,000 ghost soldiers, and the barbarians such as the people and the Di people add up to at least 150,000, but unfortunately the vast majority of them are old and young women and children, and the real strong soldiers are actually only more than 50,000 people, and due to the lack of necessary siege equipment, the siege has been difficult to break the city for more than a month, but there are countless corpses under the city.
A month is enough to change people's minds, Zhang Xiuyan captured Wudu County at the beginning, but now not only has he not been able to capture the city, but also the barbarian warriors continue to die in Wudu County, the most important thing is that the food they carry has been almost ready, and now Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and other leaders couldn't sit still, and came to find Zhang Xiu to ask for an explanation.
However, at this time, Zhang Xiu was anxious, when he stole the Heavenly Master Dao from Zhang Heng and changed his name to Wudou Mijiao, he was always in place of Zhang Heng's son Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu's mother, Mrs. Lu, had a close relationship with Liu Yan, and anyone could see that the two people were not normal in Guanxi, so he didn't dare to attack Zhang Lu openly, so he could only be secretly vigilant.
However, although he was cautious, he did not expect that Zhang Lu secretly developed his power, and Zhang Lu seized the opportunity at such a critical moment.
"Zhang Lu, you dare to commit a crime against this master, aren't you afraid of the punishment of the gods?" Zhang Xiu scolded sharply, and his anxious eyes swept outside the tent from time to time, waiting for the arrival of his own soldiers.
"Zhang Xiu, do you really think that you are a master? The gods punish this kind of ghost trick, that is, to deceive the foolish people, do you think this master will believe it? Zhang Lu claimed to be a master, obviously taking the Wudou Rice Sect as his five bags, and when he saw Zhang Xiu's eyes flickering, he sneered: "Do you think it is useful to delay time?" ”
"Hmph~" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and sneered: "Do you think you can capture this master with just five people?" It seems that you have forgotten that this master is not as powerless as you. ”
"Really?" Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Xiu and his two personal soldiers, the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up a sneer, and suddenly waved his hand in Zhang Xiu's puzzled gaze: "Do it!" ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
One after another, the black shadows suddenly broke open the big tent and attacked him from the outside, and the two pro-soldiers went up to stop them, but these black shadows were extremely fierce, and the knives fell in their hands, and the two pro-soldiers fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
"Look for death!"
Zhang Xiu swung his sword and hacked to death a man in black who pounced up, although these men in black were brave, but Zhang Xiu was a veteran of the battlefield after all, with superb martial arts, and in an instant, several more men in black fell at his feet.
Zhang Lu looked coldly at the falling dead soldiers, and felt a little pity in his heart, in order to cultivate these dead soldiers, he spent a lot of energy, training the dead soldiers is different from cultivating ordinary soldiers, training the dead soldiers at least need to spend a lot of financial and material resources, only generous treatment, the dead soldiers will be sincere and sincere.
However, as soon as I thought that as long as I killed Zhang Xiu, the Five Dou Mi Sect would be in my hands, even if there were more people who died, it was worth it, Zhang Xiu was already covered in blood at this moment, and a bloody knife on his left leg was bleeding red blood.
Even though Zhang Xiu's martial arts are high, he is only the peak of a third-rate general, and under the attack of these dead soldiers, he was quickly defeated and captured by the man in black.
However, at this time, Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue, the three barbarian leaders, came together, and saw Zhang Xiu covered in blood, and was pressed to the ground by several black-clothed people, and Zhang Lu, who was standing solemnly, also knew each other, but in the face of this strange scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"The three leaders... Click~"
When Zhang Xiu saw the three leaders of the barbarians, he was overjoyed, but before he could say anything, a man in black slammed his chin with the hilt of a knife with a fierce expression, and it was smashed in an instant, and the severe pain made Zhang Xiu struggle frantically, but in vain.
"Three leaders, this is a matter in my Five Doumi Sect, I hope you will maintain a neutral posture and don't meddle in it, this master will be grateful!" Zhang Lu stepped forward and said with a solemn expression: "In addition, this master has made a promise here, he will definitely help you and others capture Wudu County, and this master does not need your assistance to attack Chang'an City!" ”
After saying this, Zhang Lu said in a deep voice: "What do the three of you think? ”
For the attack on Chang'an City, Du Hao and the three of them were reluctant from the bottom of their hearts, but they only agreed to Zhang Xiu because of their greed for Wudu County, and now since Zhang Lu said that he would not only help them attack Wudu County, but also did not need them to assist in attacking Chang'an City, how could they not agree to such a good thing~
As for Zhang Xiu's fate, they can't control it, the chaos and morality in the world have long ceased to exist, especially Du Hao and the three of them, as barbarians, don't know what morality is, from ancient times to the present, only interests are true.
At this point, Zhang Xiu was captured, and Zhang Lu regained the Five Dou Rice Sect, and at the same time sent someone to quickly inform his mother of the matter, although the Five Dou Rice Sect was founded by his grandfather, but it was Liu Yan, the king of Yizhou, who could really call the shots.
。。。。。。
Luoyang, the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty looked at the palm-sized parchment scroll in his hand with a pale face, this is the information sent by Liu Yu, the king of Fuling, in fact, there is nothing else, only five words, King Hongnong is not dead!
However, it was these five words that made him angry, Liu Xie couldn't understand what kind of luck this imperial brother had against the sky, which made him assassinate again and again.
Ten thousand gold, for the highest power of the Son of Heaven, is nothing, but for the puppet Son of Heaven Liu Xie, it is a huge number, this is the money he saved and embezzled the inner treasury left by the Emperor Ling, so in vain, how can he not feel distressed.
"Your Majesty, the failure of King Fuling's plan is obviously because King Hongnong can be assassinated without being a mere dead soldier." Lu Qiang groaned: "The old slave has a plan, or it is feasible, but I don't know if His Majesty is willing to do it!" ”
"I can only let my imperial brother die, and I will agree to any request!" Liu Xie stared at Lu Qiang with a calm gaze, and said calmly: "But I don't want to hear the news of defeat!" ”
