Once, Lu Chen felt that the yellow robe was too hypocritical, and it was not as practical as forcing Liang to become a prostitute. However, now he realizes how difficult this choice is, not because of the choice, but because of the hesitation and struggle before the choice. Zhao Kuangyin is not a person under the emperor, Lu Chen's current and future situation is that if he doesn't kill people, others will kill him.

To kill or to be killed, such a choice is not difficult, there is only one standard answer, everyone knows.

People are cruel animals, and when their survival is threatened, they can do all kinds of evil, and Lu Chen is like that.

Man is a hypocritical animal, when he does or is about to do evil things, he will always think of a high-sounding reason for himself as a support, no one thinks he is bad, and Lu Chen is the same, his excuse is lofty enough - for the peace of the world!

After deciding on cruelty and hypocrisy, Lu Chen's thinking became extremely clear.

From a distance, go north to seize the Hetao, train strong soldiers, and win the world with Yuan Caosun and Liu, if you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will die! Death is not necessarily death, but it can also be flight.

In the near future, Yang Chou should be allowed to die first tonight, and it will be the turn of Zheng Gu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, as for Changshi Xue Hong, it depends on whether he dies or not.

Breaking three jujube trees with his bare hands one after another, his thoughts were clear, the sky was not early, and the sun was slanting in the west.

Zhang Gu's personal soldiers came back and reported the situation to Zhang Gu, and Zhang's advisor Lu Chen: "Bo Chao, when will the patrols go to the city?" Do you really want to let them freeze all night? Isn't that good? The patrol is a round of three days, and more than 200 people guard the city at night, and now let them all go up to the city wall, if my father knows......"

Of course, Lu Chen was not afraid that Zhang Yang would know, he was only worried that the people in the military camp outside the city would find out that the city had already taken precautions, and then the plan would change.

After laughing twice, Lu Chen said, "Let them go to the city after dark." Brother Zhongwang, Chen guarantees that after these patrols of yours go to the city, they will be reluctant to come down again! ”

Zhang Gu felt inexplicable, and Lu Chen didn't explain it, the mystery needed to be debunked at the most appropriate time.

At this time, Chen Gong sent someone back, and the report was very optimistic: "Changshi Xue Hong, who was overwhelmed by the two beautiful little girls sent by Mr. Gongtai, will fall down soon." Mr. Gongtai asked the little one to come back and tell the little gentleman that there was no abnormality in the Changshi Mansion, and as the intelligence showed, tonight, the Changshi would not move. ”

Lu Chen nodded, knowing that although Xue Hong and Cao Cao had negotiated, he didn't know the situation outside the city, and he was just Cao Cao's backhand. In other words, if Yang Chou hadn't killed Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang would have fled into the county seat of Yewang County, and then it would be Xue Hong's time to make a move, and he was not qualified to know the specific operation and layout outside the city.

When the attendant of the Chen Palace reported, Lu Chen did not let Zhang Gu avoid it, and after he heard the attendant's words, the second monk was even more confused.

Just as Zhang Gu was about to ask, Zhang Liao led his own soldiers and pulled four carriages into the courtyard gate.

"Why is Bo Chao acting so secretly?"

It was Zhang Yang's voice, Zhang Gu was startled, thinking that his father knew about the bet he made with the patrolmen, and he was so anxious that he looked around, ready to find something to plug his ears. But seeing Zhang Yang jumping out of a box on a board car, his image is naturally not good, Rao is his temper is kind, he has been in the box for a long time, and his mood is not good.

Lu Chen's face was cold, and he instructed Zhang Liao: "Uncle Wenyuan, go down and rectify the soldiers, except for the two hundred tigers taken away by Uncle Zhimou, all the rest are dressed in stubbornness and go to the city wall!" ”

Zhang Liao looked murderous and left as promised.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a long time before he ran over, pulled Lu Chen and said, "What is Bo Chao going to do?" ”

An hour ago, Zhang Liao escorted the car into Zhang Yang's camp and delivered four large boxes. When Zhang Yang's personal soldiers carried the box into Zhang Yang's camp, Zhang Liao asked Zhang Yang to retreat and talk to each other, and Zhang Yang asked his personal soldiers to leave. However, Zhang Liao did not talk to him secretly, but opened the box, and Gao Shun climbed out of the box with seven dead soldiers, startling Zhang Yang. Zhang Liao only said that this was to save his and his son's lives, and if he could trust Lu Chen, he would follow Lu Chen's explanation, carefully arrange and arrange it, and then hide in the box and quietly enter the city.

This is the scene where Zhang Yang jumped out of the box just now.

"Come with me and show you something."

Lu Chen threw away Zhang Yang, and Lu Chen instructed Lu Zhan to take Xiao Meow to the backyard to help Hua Tuo's master and apprentice, and Xiao Meow couldn't look at the things here. Then, Lu Chen walked to the side room, Zhang Yang and his son glanced at each other, each with their own suspicions, but they still followed Lu Chen.

Squeak.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood came to my face.

In the dim room, on a low table, two bloodstained human heads, two Cao Jun military cards, and two secret letters with blood!

Zhang Yang looked at Lu Chen in amazement, Zhang Gu's face was pale, he hadn't seen many heads.

Lu Chen had already carefully checked the two heads and the military card secret letter before, so he had gotten used to it now. He pointed to the secret letter and said to Zhang Yang, "Uncle, go and see those two letters." ”

The token of the Cao army soldier does not need to be carefully distinguished, it is easy to recognize.

Zhang Yang took the letter, unfolded it, and glanced at it twice, his hands began to tremble, and his face darkened.

The two secret letters were written by Zhang Yang's love to Yang Chou and Changshi Xue Hong to Cao Cao.

Yang Chou's secret letter said that he had already bought off a number of Zhang Yang's close ministers, and that he would kill Zhang Yang tonight, raise troops to surrender to Cao Cao, and most of Zhang Yang's remaining generals would fall to him. He will control the 20,000-strong army tonight, eradicate those who refuse to surrender to Cao, and ask Xu Huang and Shi Lian, who are stationed in Luoyang, to go north tomorrow to support, in case Yuan Shao or the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro raid Hanoi.

As a literati, Xue Hong was more subtle than Yang Chou, and the wording in the secret letter was quite euphemistic, and in addition to exposing his crime of betraying his lord for glory, he also expressed his loyalty to Cao Cao, and his writing was good. It is to the effect that Cao Sikong rebelled on behalf of the Son of Heaven and went to Xuzhou, and Zhang Yang, as a Hanchen, actually echoed Lu Bu for the tiger, and the crime was unforgivable. Zhang Yang is dull, and the generals under his account may have different intentions, and they are afraid that they will change (this is actually a little bit of information revealed to him by Cao Cao's people), if Zhang Yang escapes to Yewang County, he will personally bind Zhang Yang into Xu Du, and the Son of Heaven will ask for guilt in front of him, Yunyun.

Zhang Yang slammed the secret letter silk cloth to the ground and was furious: "Xue Hong! Yang Chou! I've always treated him well, but he betrayed me? No, I'll have to ask them and talk about it! ”

The reason why Lu Chen chose to "trick" Zhang Yang into the city, instead of telling him the truth first, was because he knew that he was indecisive and liked to talk, and if he was rashly exposed, it was difficult to guarantee that Yang Chou and the others would not suddenly attack and kill Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang scolded angrily, his brows furrowed, and said, "Bo Chao, you mean to let me arrest Yang Chou and Xue Hong?" ”

It's actually captured, not killed.

Lu Chen rubbed his eyebrows, smiled helplessly, looked at Zhang Yang with a little pity, and said: "Uncle doesn't have to go out of the city, you don't have to miss those soldiers and horses too much, almost all the generals have followed Yang Chou, and the rest are on the side of Su Gu." Moreover, if you go back, you will definitely die, your personal soldier captain Zhang Zhai has been bought by Yang Chou, kill you, he should be the first to do it. ”

"Zhang Zhai? That's impossible! Zhang Gu shouted, "He is my distant brother, my father's nephew!" ”

Lu Chen raised three fingers: "Last night, Yang Chou and Zhang Zhai had a secret conversation in the Xiying Baggage Camp, and the position of captain was three hundred gold. Zhang Zhai sold your father and son! ”

Zhang Yang and Zhang Gu looked at each other in horror, and they were terrified.
