Chapter 379: Eliminate Dissidents and Kill Them All
Under the cover of Chen Sheng, Xu Yi led people to break out of the encirclement, but looking back on the left and right, there were only dozens of horses. Knowing that Shu Han had an army to cut off the return route of Tianshui, Xu Yi had to lead people to find mountain paths and go north. He and Chen Sheng have studied the same art since childhood, if they are brothers, knowing that Chen Sheng is dangerous at this moment, Xu Yi is very anxious, and he is constantly on the road, wanting to go to Tianshui for help as soon as possible. Even if Xiahou Mao had the intention to assassinate, Cheng Wu and the others would never stand by and watch Xiahou Mao ignore the Jiangshan Society.
Xu Yi did not delay in the slightest under the horse, and found a country path, which was lined with thorns, cutting the mount and his legs to blood, and he didn't realize it. Seeing that Tianshui City was in sight, Xu Yi just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he sat down on the war horse, he suddenly lost his front hooves and knocked him to the ground. Without waiting for Xu Yi to stand up, many sergeants rushed out from the left and right, pounced forward, and pressed him to the ground. Xu Yi also said that it was an ambush by the Shu army, although he struggled hard, his physical strength had already been exhausted, and the other party was a strong person, so he couldn't get out at all. When he raised his eyes, he realized that the other party was Cao Wei's armor, and the person who was the leader was still Xiahou's former confidant, Dong Xi and Xue Ze, and couldn't help but say loudly: "I'm Xu Yi, don't you know each other?" What a big dog guts. The subordinates in the back didn't know whether to step forward and kill and rescue.
Xue Ze deliberately looked very surprised, stepped forward and took a closer look before he smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's General Xu." Dare to ask General Xu, where is General Chen? Where are the thousands of soldiers in the former army? Without waiting for Xu Yi to answer, his face sank again, and he shouted: "You escaped from the battle, abandoned the lives of General Chen and all the soldiers, the evidence of the crime is true, and most of the governors ordered me to arrest them, what other words do you have?" Although Xu Yi was rude, he was not a fool, and he immediately understood that Xiahou Mao was not as human as Chen Sheng imagined. It is clear that now he is not doing anything, and he wants to get rid of him together, anyway, now the power is in the hands of Xiahou Mao, and if he wants to kill him Xu Yi, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death. Xu Yi knew that he would die, and he didn't bother to say much, so he only said coldly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, when the truth is revealed, how can Your Majesty spare you?" ”
Xue Ze still laughed and said, "This doesn't bother the general." Then he turned to look at Xu Yi's dozens of subordinates and said, "Do you want to die or live?" Most of these people have followed Chen Sheng's brothers for many years, and they are all bloody men, and they understand the meaning of Xue Ze's words, which is to ask them to choose whether to betray their own officials, but they look at each other for a moment before one of them stepped forward and said: "We swear to follow General Xu to the death." It is better for the general to let General Xu go, so as not to hurt the harmony. Xue Ze nodded again and again, seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's reply, walked over slowly, and said, "Okay, good, I don't want you to be all loyal people." The words were very appreciative, and he walked up to the sergeant, and then suddenly attacked, crushing his throat bone with one claw. Xue Ze was full of smiles, the other party didn't expect him to suddenly kill the killer, but he just listened to the crisp sound that was not loud, and fell to the ground and died, and his dying eyes were still staring straight at Xue Ze, as if he was asking, how could he die in the hands of his own people if he didn't die under the swords and guns of the Shu army after a night of hard fighting?
Xue Ze made a successful move, and Dong Xi and his subordinates on the left and right immediately stepped forward to besiege Xu Yi's subordinates. Although Xu Yi's subordinates are all warriors from one in a hundred, after all, there are not many people, and they have fought hard all night, and almost all of them are injured, so naturally they can't be the opponents of these new forces. But in a few moments, they were killed one by one, but no one begged for their lives. Xu Yi watched his subordinates fall one by one, but he couldn't do anything, he only hated his eyes and couldn't stop scolding Dong and Xue. Dong Xi was scolded by him, and quickly stepped forward and slapped you twice, shouting: "Lao Tzu originally wanted to keep you for a while, since he was looking for death, he will send you on the road first." As he spoke, the long sword in his hand was also under Xu Yi's neck, but he suddenly refused to do so, and replied: "If you can beg for mercy, Lao Tzu can also consider letting you live longer." "Xu Yi is afraid of the dead? With a cold snort, he closed his eyes and waited for death. Seeing him like this, Dong Xi's heart became more and more annoyed, and he wanted to use his hand to finish Xu Yi with a sword.
"Leave people under the sword." Dong Xi Jianfeng did not move, but a shout came from behind him, and then he saw Tianshui Gong Cao Jiang Wei coming quickly, and stepped forward and said: "The governor of Xiahou has an order, not to harm General Xu, and the governor must be interrogated in person." "Dong Xi and Xue Ze are both close confidants around Xiahou Mao, although they don't know that the plot to frame Chen Sheng is all from Jiang Wei's intentions, but they also know that Jiang Wei and Xiahou Mao have a close private past in the past two days, and they can be regarded as Xiahou Mao's new favorites. Now seeing that he came to give the order, and there was no doubt about it, Dong Xi put his sword back into the sheath, and scolded Xu Yi a few more words, before ordering his subordinates to escort him on the road, wanting to return to Tianshui City.
Everyone was just about to leave, but Jiang Wei said: "The matter of escorting Xu Yi is in the next person." The two generals are still waiting here, just in case there are any fish that slip through the net. As soon as these words came out, Xue Ze suddenly became suspicious in his heart, but he squinted at Jiang Wei and said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan once told my two brothers that they would return with Xu Yi's head, why do you suddenly bother the general to come and escort them back to the city?" Jiang Wei didn't want the other party to ask this question, so he was a little surprised, and then replied: "How can you know the mind of the Metropolitan Governor?" It's just doing what you're told. Could it be that General Xue doesn't believe it? ”
Jiang Wei had secret talks with Xiahou Mao every day, and sometimes even avoided Xue Ze, Dong Xi and others, which shows that his relationship with Xiahou Mao is extraordinary. Although Xue Ze had some doubts in his heart, he still didn't dare to offend Jiang Wei rashly, but Xu Yi's matter couldn't be so sloppy, so he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know whether to let Jiang Wei take Xu Yi away. Jiang Wei didn't allow him much time to think, and asked, "Is the general really unwilling to obey orders?" Then go back and tell the governor of Xiahou the truth. As he spoke, he turned the horse's head around and wanted to leave.
At this moment of turning around, Xue Ze immediately noticed that there were some blood stains on the armor behind Jiang Wei. Knowing that he had been with Xiahou all the time, he had no chance to participate in the war, and the blood stains on his back were obviously very suspicious, Xue Ze became more and more worried about handing over Xu Yi to him, so he said: "The general stays, and Xu Yi's subordinates are all killed for my two brothers, and there is no omission, so I will send Xu Yi to meet the governor of the capital with the general." ”
Jiang Wei originally wanted to get away with it, but he didn't expect that Xue Ze would refuse to be fooled, and even more so to turn Tianshui with him, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, hating himself for not doing this more. He didn't dare to show it on his face, and deliberately said: "Could it be that the two generals are worried that they will not succeed in robbing the success?" That being the case, the two generals could return to the city on their own. ”
Jiang Wei was in a hurry to leave, but Xue Ze was unrelenting at the moment, stepped forward immediately, and said with a smile: "They are all working for the Grand Governor, how can they separate each other?" The general can go back to the city with my brother, and my brothers will never dare to monopolize the merit of capturing Xu Yi. Jiang Wei knew that Xue Ze was hiding a knife in his smile, knowing that if he insisted on leaving, he would inevitably be more suspicious, and he would inevitably start a fight, and his own strength was definitely not the opponent of the hundreds of people in front of him, so he had to nod and agree, and returned to the city with everyone, hoping to find a way to get out on the way. However, it backfired, Jiang Wei just agreed to go on the road with Xue Ze, but saw a large group of cavalry rushing from the direction of Tianshui, and vaguely shouted: "Hugh has gone to the anti-thief Jiang Wei." ”
