Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Controversy over the Lujiang River (5)

After Liu Qi made the above preparations, he secretly ordered Chen Zhen to lead 5,000 troops to be stationed in the front yard of the Taishou Mansion, and immediately led the army to kill the mansion when he saw the fire in the mansion; Liao Li led an army of 5,000 to be stationed in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, and immediately led the army to kill the mansion when all this qiē was ready, Liu Qi took Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Gan Ning, Yu Ban, Liu Shi and others to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet, and left Pang Tong to lead the army to guard the camp, with Chen Wuzuozhi.

When Liu Qi came to the Taishou Mansion, Liu Xun had already led his subordinates, village elders, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life to wait outside the mansion for a long time.

"Welcome, welcome, Lord Thorn."

"It's too polite."

"Please, please."

The two pretended to be polite, Liu Qi led everyone to the hall in the house, at the insistence of Liu Xun, sat in the chief, Liu Xun sat on the right side of the head, after Liu Xun is the village elders, wealthy families and representatives of celebrities from all walks of life, Liu Qi's left side is Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Liu Ye, Yu Ban and others, Liu Shi stood behind Liu Qi, no matter how Liu Xun persuaded him, Liu Shi always refused to sit on the grounds of duty, Liu Xun had no choice but to follow him.

After a while, the banquet began, and Liu Xun first raised his glass and said: "Today, our Lujiang was preserved, thanks to the divine power of Lord Assassin Shi, who defeated Sun Ce, who conspired to design my Lujiang, so this official built yƬ We all toast Lord Shi together and express our gratitude." ā€

After Liu Xun finished speaking, he immediately stood up and toasted Liu Qi with a wine glass.

When the villagers, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life saw Liu Xun standing up, they all stood up and respectfully toasted Liu Qi together.

"Hehe, you are so polite, this official is the assassin of Yangzhou, how can he not consider the safety of the rule, this is the unshirkable responsibility of this official." Liu Qi picked up the wine glass, humbled himself, and then drank this glass of wine.

In fact, in order to prevent Liu Xun from poisoning, Liu Qi had already hidden a silver needle in his sleeve, and when he stood up to speak, he secretly blocked it with his sleeve robe, and tested it with a silver needle, and only after confirming that it was non-toxic, he raised his glass and drank this glass of wine.

"Haha, Lord Assassin Shi is really bold, and the next official will salute Lord Assassin Shi again." After Liu Xun finished speaking, he poured Liu Qi full of wine again, and then raised his glass and drank it all.

Seeing that the other party was like this, Liu Qi had no choice but to drink another glass.

"Haha, this third glass of wine is a tribute to Lord Thorn Shi as a subordinate, and please don't refuse."

Liu Xun poured the wine again and said respectfully to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi smiled, so he had to raise his glass again and drink the wine in the cup dry.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Xun ordered the elders, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life to toast Liu Qi one after another, but he stood up and walked towards Xu Shu, Gan Ning and other generals, and toasted to them one after another.

Liu Xun originally wanted to smash the glass to send a signal when he toasted to the generals, but he helplessly found that the other party's seat turned out to be a Wenchen next to a military general, and he didn't dare to rashly drop the cup to lead the troops, for fear that he would be injured by Liu Qi's fierce generals.

It wasn't until Liu Xun finished toasting to Yu Ban in the last seat, and came behind those celebrities from all walks of life in the name of toasting, that he pretended to miss and was thrown to the ground.

I saw that the bronze wine glass fell on the bluestone paved ground, making a crisp sound of "dang", which shook everyone's heartstrings, and everyone raised their eyes to look at Liu Xun.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I missed for a while, everyone continues." Liu Xun smiled, and without picking up the cup that fell on the ground, he was about to step back.

At this moment, only an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound was heard, and three hundred sword and axe men immediately rushed out from behind the tent and surrounded Liu Qi's generals, as well as all the villagers, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life.

"Liu Taishou, what do you mean?" Liu Qi did not have a trace of melancholy on his face, looked at Liu Xun, and said calmly.

"Hehe, Lord Thorn Shi, you forced this qiē, who let your subordinates have soldiers and food? Who told you to forcibly engulf my subordinates while I was still in Yuzhang? When you attacked Peng Ze, you let my soldiers die in the front, but you hid in the back, and waited until our army was completely lost before sending troops, can't I Liu Xun see this? You relied on the official authority of the assassin history, but for the sake of two folk wild girls, you killed my general Zhang Xun, hum, this official knows that you are using the topic to play, and deliberately use this to shake your official authority, so that the official knows that you are powerful. This Lujiang belongs to my Liu Xun, and I, Liu Xun, have been working hard here for many years, how can I let it be given to you? I'm afraid you didn't expect it, not only will you not get Lujiang today, but you will also have to lose your life. ā€

Liu Xun looked at Liu Qi from afar, his face was full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this, and said loudly: "A person with a cold nature like you deserves to talk like this?" If you didn't have this official, you would have been blocked in Peng Ze and couldn't return to Lujiang, and now it is estimated that you will become a homeless water dog, how can you have a chance to regain control of a county? Regardless of the old evils, this official will help you defeat Sun Ce and regain control of Lujiang County, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and want to murder this official! Do you still have the face to mention Zhang Xun? This guy robbed the people's daughters on your orders, and spread rumors to ruin the reputation of the official, and the official only killed Zhang Xun, in order to give you a wake-up call and give you a chance to abandon evil and follow good, but I didn't expect you to not only unrepentant, but intensified, which is really hateful. ā€

"What if the official is evil? What if you are ungrateful? Now your life and death are all in the hands of the official, as long as the official gives an order, you will all become a pile of meat puree, and even you celebrities from all walks of life will die in Huangquan, the official knows that you big clans, as well as these Qingliu usually look down on the official, today simply eradicate you together, so that the official can completely control the entire Lujiang, now Sun Ce is injured, Liu Qi dies again, once the official annexes the land of his subordinates, and then destroys Sun Ce, he can become the overlord of Jiangnan and Jiangdong, At that time, even if Yuan Shao sees this official, you must be afraid, you all listen to this official, now as long as you surrender to this official, there is still a chance to save your life, once you refuse, hehe. ā€

At this moment, Liu Xun suddenly heard someone laughing, looked up, and saw that it was Liu Qi, and couldn't help asking, "Liu Qi, what are you laughing at?" ā€

But I heard Liu Qi laugh and said, "Liu Xun, do you really think that everything is under your control?" You have done so many things that go against your conscience and morality, and against the will of the people, do you really think that these 300 warriors are willing to help and abuse? ā€

"Hehe, I want to teach you that these are the confidants of the official, and each of them is angry with the official, and will never be betrayed by anyone, so you can rest assured." Liu Xun laughed wildly and said loudly.

But as soon as his words landed, he heard Sima Zhang Tong of the Left Army say loudly: "Brothers, Liu Xun has done a lot of evil, is ungrateful, and is no longer worthy of being a county guard, today the general has decided to help Lord Assassin Shi kill Liu Xun, what do you think?" ā€

Then I heard all the fifty warriors shouting, "No." Assassin Lord Shi is mighty, swear to kill Liu Xun, and eliminate harm for the people! ā€

Next, I saw Liu Xun lead the army to retreat slowly, set up a formation, and began to do a good job of defense.

Liu Xun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhang Tong suddenly rebel, and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone go up together, kill the rebels first, and then kill Liu Qi." ā€

The rest of the soldiers were just about to make a move, when they suddenly saw another general and said loudly: "Liu Xun is crazy, even the celebrities from all walks of life in this county, the wealthy people do not let go, how can I be driven for him and leave a disaster in the township?" I, Lu Lin, also decided to respond to Sima Zhang and jointly resist Liu Xun's tyranny, brothers come over, let's protect it first, the elite of our county. ā€

Next, I saw that fifty soldiers, under the leadership of Lu Lin, slowly came to the front of the wealthy clans, scholars, and village elders in the county, formed a formation, and protected them.

And Qiao Yu also lost no time in saying at this time: "You can see at present that Liu Xun indiscriminately kills innocents, tyrannical and abnormal, and is not worthy of guarding my Lujiang at all, I hope everyone will unite and call on the military and the people to support Lord Assassin Shi, drive Liu Xun away, and let my Lujiang completely get rid of the control of the wicked." ā€

Those village elders, wealthy clans and Qingliu nodded one after another, and together they denounced Zhang Xun, calling on the majority of soldiers to stop helping and abuse.

Liu Xun laughed and said, "You useless guys, can you use your lips and tongues to rebel against the warriors of my lower middle city?" Everyone listened to the official's order, stepped forward together, and killed this group of traitors, now we have two hundred people, and the traitors are only one hundred, and they are fully capable of killing them easily, as long as everyone succeeds, this official will definitely let everyone be promoted to three levels in a row. ā€

But then Liu Xun was surprised to find that the two hundred warriors under his command also stood beside the two groups of traitors one after another, and aimed their weapons at those warriors who were still working for him.

"We are all from Lujiang, why bother to leave a disaster in the township for a guy who is resentful of the people? Let's go back together. ā€

Hula Hula, more than 200 of the 300 people all fell to Liu Qi, and only more than 50 people did not move, because those were Yang Hong and Liu Xun's personal soldiers.

"You, you ......" Liu Xun's face couldn't help but change greatly, pointing at those "rebels", so angry that he couldn't speak.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound from outside the house, and I saw a personal soldier come to report: "My lord, it's not good, Liu Qi's army is here, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people." ā€

It turned out that taking advantage of the confrontation between everyone, Gan Ning quietly slipped into the Taishou Mansion and set it on fire, and Chen Zhen and Liao Li outside the mansion saw this and immediately led their troops to kill them.

"What? Damn, just by the end of it, I made it, why is that? I'm really unwilling. Liu Xun knew that he could not succeed, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with a deep unwillingness in his eyes.

"Hehe, Liu Xun, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, you will be helped by the righteous, and you will be helped by the unjust, it seems that you really have to read more points." Liu Qi glanced at Liu Xun, and then instructed Liu Shi to escort Liu Xun and the rebels who refused to surrender, and then said with a smile to those village elders, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life: "We all continue to drink and feast, first, to suppress everyone's shock, and second, to celebrate the county's elimination of a thief. ā€
