Time flies, the years are flying, and it is a few years later.

A lot of things have happened in the past few years, such as the last battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao ended without a hitch, this is because Yuan Shao's Youzhou was invaded by Karasuma and Xianbei.

The two sides tacitly agreed on a truce, Yuan Shao led the army north to fight against the Hu people, Cao Cao did not pursue, but entered the stage of recuperation.

A.D. 194, Spring.

Nanyang, Wancheng.

Cao Cao dragged his sword in his hand and walked up the long stairs step by step, the blood-stained cloak on his shoulders fluttering in the wind.

And at the top of the stairs, at the door of the main hall, Yuan Shu, who was distracted by his hair and eyes without a god, was holding a piece of heirloom jade seal.

Even if the fate has changed, the result is still so similar, this heirloom jade seal was built by Yuan Shu's heavy gold people, just to have an emperor's dream before defeat.

This kind of behavior seems a little naïve and ridiculous, but it is so real. Throughout the ages, how many people have fought all their lives, isn't it just for this supreme throne?

Yuan Shu heard the footsteps, his eyes regained some light, and he slowly looked up at the person in front of him.

"Mengde, you're here~"

"Well, I'm coming!"

Cao Cao nodded.

Although the two were rivals, they were also friends back then, but they just made people worse, and they ended up going the other way.

Yuan Shu laughed at himself: "It is said that persimmons pick up soft pinch, you are the first to attack me, but because I am the weakest?" ”

"No, you're wrong, today you've only lost to three people."

"Which three?"

"Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and me Cao Cao!"

This is from the bottom of my heart.

Cao Cao's territory was located in the center of the Central Plains, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and bordered by the three major princes.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are both strong enemies, and in comparison, Yuan Shu is indeed the weakest. But if all the princes in the world are counted, Yuan Shu's strength can be called strong.

"You will all lose to Liu Bei in the end." Yuan Shu said seriously.

"Well, maybe." Cao Cao still nodded, maybe he also felt Liu Bei's strength, or perhaps, he just didn't want to compete with a dying person.

"The Son of Heaven has the way to die of the Son of Heaven, how can he add a sword to his body, does Meng De think so?"

Yuan Shu raised his head and said his last wish.

Cao Cao had nothing to do but nodded slightly.

"Good!"

Yuan Shu smiled gratefully, then slowly stood up, and slowly walked into the hall with staggering steps, looking like a drunkard.

A moment later, there was a faint singing in the hall.

Cao Cao looked in the northwest direction and sighed: "Shi Ye! Fate! ”

Cao Cao was in action, and the others were not idle.

After several years of tug-of-war, Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack with Ju Yi as the general, broke the Xianbei and Karasuma coalition forces in the grassland, and completely pacified the northern troubles of Youzhou.

This battle did not bring him much loss, but as a result, he obtained tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, and his strength increased.

At the same time, Liu Bei also launched the Battle of Yizhou. With the help of Nei Ying Renqi, countless elite soldiers secretly infiltrated Shu.

It was late at night, and there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air, giving the illusion that a storm was coming.

This battle has been planned for many years, and everything has already been arranged. From the castle towers to the barracks, and in the streets of the city, the flags were constantly changed.

A lot of things are done quietly, and finally end quietly.

Liu Zhang was unaware of the changes in the city, and was still enjoying the song and dance with great interest.

At the next place, Ren Qi saw his forgetful appearance, and couldn't help but sneer secretly: Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, you are addicted to wine, and you are not worthy of the position of the lord of Shu County.

As everyone knows, another person is also watching him.

This man was none other than his friend Jia Long.

However, if you say how deep the friendship between the two is, it may not be, the two came together because of interests. When interests are different, it is possible to turn against each other at any time.

At this moment, a general hurried to the palace.

"Lord, something is wrong, Liu Bei's army has entered the city."

Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard this, although he had already predicted this day, but when it really came, he was still a little caught off guard.

】

He knew that he was not Liu Bei's opponent, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly and without warning.

"There are countless cities from Guanzhong to here, and there are so many defenders along the way, why is there no news at all?"

"Yes...... It's ......"

"I'll tell you straight!"

"It was the younger brother of Ren who led Liu Beijun into the customs and made it unimpeded all the way."

As soon as the general's voice fell, everyone's eyes focused on Ren Qi.

Liu Zhang also looked at Ren Qi in disbelief, his eyes were full of hatred, this was a sincere mistake after payment, because of love and hatred.

He trusts Ren Qi more than Jia Long, and because of this, his hatred will be deeper.

Ren Qi had lost the light posture he had just now, and as early as the moment he saw the general, he realized that something was wrong.

According to his plan, it should be Liu Bei's army to directly enter the city and change the banner of Shu County. However, in the name of righteousness, he changed the court in a grand manner.

"The lord is clear, there is no dissenting intention in the bottom, this must be a plan by thieves to frame him."

Ren Qi defended his innocence while his brain was running rapidly.

Who was trying to harm him?

After thinking about it, he came up with a startling answer, looking to his side in disbelief.

This is the location of Jia Long.

At this moment, he was lowering his head with a "panicked" face, as if he didn't notice Ren Qi's gaze.

The general's face was filled with righteous indignation, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord, what the last general said is true, and most of the places where Liu Bei marched were brothers of the Ren family. Who else can mobilize them but to do it? ”

This person was indeed arranged by Jia Long, and since he learned of Ren Qi's plan, he secretly came up with this Huang Que plan.

As for why Ren Qi was put to death, the reason is simple.

Benefit!

is still the same truth, there is only one leader of the Yizhou Shi clan. If Ren Qi is alive, he will rise to the top with the merit of dedicating the city, and the limelight will even overshadow himself, which is unacceptable to Jia Long.

When Liu Zhang heard the general's words, he already believed seven points in his heart, and couldn't help but be furious, and asked: "Ren Qi, I have always treated you well, why do you want to betray me?" ”

"I've been busy with official business these days, and I rarely go home, and I have no contact with my brothers in the clan. Ren Qi is still trying to defend his innocence, but these things are true, and it is really difficult to cover it up in a hurry.

"My lord, here is a letter from Ren Zhi who has secret contact with Jian Yong under Liu Bei."

The general apparently came prepared, and escaped from his bosom with a thick stack of brocade books.

Seeing this, Ren Qi seemed to lose his strength in an instant and fell to the ground.

"Jia Long, you brazen bastard, why do you want to hurt me!"
