Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 156 Why did Your Majesty rebel?
The door of the palace opened, and a ray of light shone into the gloomy hall, and also shone on the blank faces of everyone.

Jian Shuo rushed out of the door first and met Liu Ming standing face to face.

"General Jian, how is the Prime Minister's matter progressing?" Liu Ming asked with a smile.

Jian Shuo looked at the substitute with a smile on his face. His dignified imperial robe was still stained with blood, and he could even smell the pungent smell of blood. It was obvious that this substitute had just killed someone.

In the distance, in the direction of Jiade Hall, the shouts of killing had long since subsided, but the fire was soaring into the sky and thick smoke was billowing.

"You...what have you done?!" Jian Shuo's eyes were bloodshot and he roared loudly.

"I didn't do anything, I just solved my worries." Liu Ming said calmly.

"You...you are so brave!" Jian Shuo stamped his foot and ran towards Jiade Hall in despair, Pan Yin hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, this..." Yuan Wei withdrew his gaze from the direction of Jiade Palace and looked at the emperor who made him feel unpredictable. He instinctively felt that something big had happened, but what happened? But he couldn't figure it out and could only say in a trembling voice, "Do you want to put out the fire?"

"Rescue for what? I deliberately lit a big fire to celebrate the New Year for all my beloved friends. There is no need to save it." Liu Ming smiled, and then said loudly to everyone, "I was not in the palace just now. I don't know how the Prime Minister's matter was discussed. Those who agree with Jian Shuo's appointment as prime minister should stand on the left, while those who do not agree should stay put. This way I can better understand the thoughts of all the lovers based on the number of people and make the right decision."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that this was a good and direct method, which would save them a long time of noisy discussions and make a decision. The support for the Prime Minister's affairs could be judged by the number of people standing in line at a glance.

Immediately Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, and Zhou Yao, the sergeant at the gate, stood on the left, and three more people stood over.

"There are only so many people? Jian Shuo has been in business for so many years, and he is not very popular." Liu Ming said with a smile.

"They also supported Jian Shuo's appointment as prime minister just now." Someone immediately pointed out a few people who were hiding in the crowd.

The current situation is indescribably weird. Many people who are good at adapting to the situation are a little unsure and don't know how to take sides.

Fortunately, a political opponent helped them identify them, and in the end ten people stood on the left.

"Jian Shuo plans to usurp the throne, intending to use the position of prime minister to evade my authority and control the government." Liu Ming said solemnly, "Anyone who supports Jian Shuo is his accomplice, arrest them all!"

"Follow the order!" Liu Bei agreed and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, soldiers came forward, like wolves and tigers, and pushed the ten people to the ground and tied them tightly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty is wronged!"

"I am dedicated to serving the public good and have no other motives."

"Your Majesty, I have also been deceived by thieves. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

……

When many people saw that the situation was not right, they immediately cried bitterly and knelt down to beg for mercy, but Liu Ming paid no attention to it and just said calmly: "Gather the troops and prepare to fight!"

The ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty couldn't help but feel excited, and they couldn't help but have various speculations. Is His Majesty going to take action against the thieves?
They have been looking forward to this day so hard and for so long.

Eunuchs and scholars seem to be natural enemies. Especially when the Shi Changshi was rebellious, the courtiers wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. A few months ago, He Jin used He Jin to cause trouble, and all the other Shi Changshi were dead, leaving only Jianshuo. It seems to be even more arrogant. Now, this last scourge is about to be eliminated. How can people not be excited?

When the old fox Yuan Wei saw that the situation was not good, he rolled his eyes a few times, fell to his knees with a plop, and said loudly: "I impeach Jian Shuo for committing rebellion, falsely delivering imperial edicts, accepting bribes, enriching his own pockets, and seizing people's fields..."

……

Outside the Jiade Hall, Jian Shuo looked at the blazing fire, but felt cold all over his body, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

The soldiers covered in blood were still throwing corpses into the sea of ​​​​fire. Many of those corpses were familiar faces to him and his capable subordinates, but now they became cold corpses and were thrown into the sea of ​​​​fire for incineration.

"So cruel! So cruel!" Jian Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "You can really do this. These are all the confidants of this general. Who gave you the courage? Without consulting this general in advance, what are you doing? Is it really going to turn upside down?”

At this time, he saw Zhang Liao who was directing the soldiers to carry the corpse nearby, so he rushed over in two hurried steps, panting heavily, and said: "Wen Yuan, what on earth is going on?"

Zhang Liao looked at Jian Shuo and said: "According to your Majesty's order, kill them all and leave no one alive."

"You...why didn't you discuss this with me in advance about such a big matter?" Jian Shuo said.

"Military secrets cannot be revealed in advance." Zhang Liao responded calmly, and then shouted to the soldiers, "Hurry up and clean up the blood!"

Jian Shuo stood stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhang Liao, whom he regarded as one of his confidants, had completely broken with him.

In fact, this was his wishful thinking. In fact, Zhang Liao never regarded himself as Jian Shuo's confidant.

"Now that things have come to this, don't blame me for being cruel!" Jian Shuo stamped his feet and left quickly with Pan Yin and Wang Yue.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he took out the imperial seal and showed it to Feng Fang. When Feng Fang saw that it was indeed His Majesty's will, Feng Fang did not dare to stop him. He could only open the palace door and looked at Bao Hong with a puzzled expression. The army entered the palace.

Soon, Jian Shuo led his soldiers to the huge square in front of the Quefei Palace. He saw more than a thousand cavalry waiting in formation. Under the yellow umbrella, Liu Ming was riding a Xiaoyao horse, followed by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Liu Bei, Generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as important ministers such as Yuan Wei, Yang Biao, Cai Yong, and Wang Yun.

In front of the formation, ten people were kneeling side by side. They were Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and other members of Jian Shuo's party. Many ministers gathered at the entrance of the palace and watched nervously.

Originally, Jian Shuo wanted to raid the main hall, capture the substitute Liu Ming on the spot, and then coerce the ministers to elect him as prime minister and temporarily handle the affairs of the court. However, he did not expect that the substitute would be so smart and prepare troops and horses in advance to greet him.

With his current troops and horses, he was not yet confident that he could defeat these cavalry and take down the substitute, so he said to Pan Yin beside him: "Immediately mobilize Xia Mou and Zhao Rong to lead troops into the palace to support!"

"Follow the order!" Pan Yin agreed, turned the horse's head and left.

Suddenly his body shook, and a huge impact knocked him off his horse. Looking down, he saw an arrow tip protruding from his chest.

Turning around, he saw Lu Bu slowly putting down his bow in the opponent's formation. "Am I going to die like this?" Pan Yin thought unwillingly. He suddenly remembered the oath he made when he declared his allegiance to His Majesty. At that time, he broke an arrow and swore that if he broke the oath, he would die by the arrow. .

I didn't expect that I would actually die from an arrow now. Could it be that the vow came true?
But he didn't think much, then his vision went dark and he died unexpectedly.

Jian Shuo looked at Pan Yin who fell to the ground dead, and then at Liu Ming who was motionless opposite him. He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he asked loudly: "Why did your majesty rebel?!"

"You are the one who rebelled!" Liu Ming shouted loudly, "You have done so many evil things, aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"Hahahaha..." Jian Shuo laughed loudly, and he laughed in anger, "This general holds great power, who dares to kill me? The person who killed me has not been born yet!"

"Then do you dare to shout three times in public, who dares to kill me, Jian Shuo? Let's see if anyone dares to kill you." Liu Ming sneered, "If no one dares to kill you, I will make you prime minister on the spot. "

Jian Shuo was high-spirited, glanced at the courtiers, and felt like he was looking down on the world, and said loudly: "There is nothing in the world that I dare not do. Not to mention three times, I dare to shout even thirty thousand times. All the kings will listen." Okay, if no one dares to answer after three calls, we will unanimously recommend this general as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Everyone, listen up: Who dares to kill me, Jian Shuo!"

Just after the first shout, I heard wind in the back of my head, and someone shouted: "I'm going to kill you!"

Jian Shuo hurriedly turned around, only to feel his vision blur, and his perspective flew up into the air. He rolled around and saw that the men, horses and ministers below were all looking up at him, and his body was spurting blood on the horse, and the column of blood spurted up several feet. high.

Behind him, Wang Yue was holding a sharp sword, with the tip pointing straight into the sky.

"Did Wang Yue kill this general?" As soon as this thought emerged, his consciousness fell into darkness.

Everyone in the square was also stunned, their eyes following Jian Shuo's head falling, and they all focused on Wang Yue.

Wang Yue raised his hand, caught Jian Shuo's head, urged his horse to the front of the formation, and said loudly: "The Jian thief has been beheaded, why don't you surrender?"

Everyone was deeply shocked. In fact, it was not only the spectators who were shocked, but also Wang Yue himself.

When he first surrendered to the emperor, he once asked when Jian Shuo would be eliminated, and his majesty personally told him that when Jian Shuo shouted in public, "Who dares to kill me, Jian Shuo", you can kill him.

Wang Yue always remembered this sentence. After waiting for so long, he felt that Jian Shuo should be killed many times, but there was no such thing as His Majesty's will, and he never waited for this sentence. He even wondered if it was a joke from His Majesty, Jian Shuo. How could Shuo say such a thing out of nowhere?

Unexpectedly, such a scene would appear today. He knew it was his turn to take action, so he immediately drew his sword.

With his unparalleled swordsmanship, and standing behind Jian Shuo, there was no chance of him missing in killing Jian Shuo. He would kill him with just one sword.

Lieutenant Bao Hong's mind was pounding, and he was confused. It was obviously planned carefully beforehand, so why did it end up like this?
Is this the end of the famous military commander Guang Luxun Jian Shuo?

Bao Hong was also a battle-hardened general, but he was unable to be promoted due to lack of promotion channels. He finally took advantage of Jian Shuo and became a military captain when the Xiyuan Army was established. Unexpectedly, this Only a few months later, Jian Shuo collapsed?

The most terrible thing is that he is still the one who followed Jian Shuo to cause chaos. I thought that wealth and honor were in danger, but I didn't expect that I might end up with my life today.

Bao Hong looked at the trembling ministers, at Wang Yue who was carrying a huge head, and then at the cavalry on the opposite side - at such a close distance, the cavalry could not charge forward, and its advantages could not be fully utilized, and my subordinates They are all elite infantry trained by themselves, and their number is more than double that of the opponent. They are capable of fighting.

If he takes the opportunity to control the court, wouldn't it be possible for him to take the position of prime minister?
On the other hand, if you just surrender, you might be treated as Jian Shuo's henchmen and be eliminated together.

Thinking of this, Bao Hong gritted his teeth and raised his heart. He raised his sword in the air and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, our Xiyuan Army is not that easy to bully. Everyone rush, capture these thieves and avenge General Jian's blood." Hatred, come with me to protect His Majesty, charge!"

The sword pointed forward, and the army surged over like a tide.

Liu Ming sighed. This Bao Hongkong has a lot of force, but he can't judge the situation and is seeking death. I can't help you anymore, so he waved his hand behind him.

The three brothers Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Liu Guan and Zhang were already eager to try. When they saw the emperor's gesture, they immediately shook their reins, urged their horses forward, and led the cavalry to charge forward.

As Bao Hong judged, at such a close distance, the advantages of the cavalry could not be fully utilized, and their combat effectiveness was seriously reduced. However, he ignored how terrifying these generals who led the troops were.

Except for Liu Bei, any one of the other four people is an enemy of ten thousand people. Taking the general's head from an army of ten thousand people is like searching for something. What's more, if they gather together, they will be an invincible force.

Moreover, among them was the number one swordsman Wang Yue.

Almost at the first touch, the impact of Bao Hong's Xiyuan Army was blocked, and then they retreated steadily, and the pace of retreat became faster and faster. After a few breaths, it turned into a rout.

"How...how could this happen!?" Bao Hong looked at the battle situation in disbelief. He had been through countless battles, large and small, and had never fought such a battle.

"Don't retreat! Don't retreat!" Bao Hong swung his sword and hacked to death the two soldiers around him, but still couldn't stop the rout. He immediately clapped his horse, brandished his sword, and rushed forward to fight Lu Bu.

The reason why I chose Lu Bu was because Lu Bu was at the front, and this general looked very coquettish. He wore a pheasant tail on his head, a flowered robe on his body, and a square halberd in his hand. Of course, he was very eye-catching. It is also the easiest to attract fire.

Bao Hong struck Lü Bu with his sword, and Lü Bu raised his halberd and collapsed.

when!
Bao Hong's knife was bounced high, his arms were numb, his mouth was painful, and his sword was almost knocked away.

I couldn't help but feel shocked. The opponent's general looked young and had a good face. How could he have such great strength?

At that moment, he did not dare to neglect, so he took back his sword and fought Lu Bu again. Only when he got to the point of fighting did he feel that he had trusted him too much. Not only was the opponent strong, but he also had outstanding halberd skills. He was unable to defend himself, and he was no match for him.

After just eight rounds, he couldn't hold on anymore. He turned around with a feint and wanted to escape. However, in the melee of the army, there were soldiers everywhere. It was not like two people fighting alone. There was no open road for him to escape.

I felt a golden wind rising from the back of my head, and it was already too late to avoid it.

puff!
The crescent moon of Fang Tian's painted halberd hit Bao Hong's neck, and a head flew up immediately.

"Bao Hong is dead, please surrender immediately!" Lu Bu picked up Bao Hong's head with a halberd, raised it high, and shouted loudly.
