Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 566: Wouldn’t it be better to die honestly?

tread! ~Tap! ~Tap! ~
"General, you hear the noise outside the tent. It's a soldier."

No need for Zhang He to elaborate, Zhao Yun had already opened his eyes in the darkness.

Both are veterans on the battlefield, and their sense of danger is much keener than others.

Zhang He took out the sword from under the pillow, gently got off the wooden couch, tiptoed to the head of the tent, took out the scabbard of the sword, and lifted a corner of the door curtain.

As expected, hundreds of soldiers were seen outside the tent, holding torches high and armed with swords.

This was obviously not to protect the safety of the two of them.

"Huang Zu rebelled? Where is Lu Meng? He also rebelled, right?"

Zhao Yunxing came to Zhang He's side, raised his hand and pressed his shoulder: "Jun Yi, there is no need to make random guesses. When did the person the general is looking at pass? Go out and have a look before we talk."

The door curtain opened and Zhao Yun walked out.

The next moment, the sword on his waist was placed on the shoulder of the soldier closest to the tent: "What are you doing?"

"Excuse me, general. The prefect ordered us to protect the two generals from sleeping in peace."

"No need, where is Huang Zu? I have something to look for him for."

"This this."

"You are the commander of the Jingbei Navy personally appointed by the general. What's the matter? Are you trying to avoid answering the question?"

The soldier was sweating profusely, but he still didn't reveal where Huang Zu was, and subconsciously reached for the sword on his waist.

When Zhao Yun saw this, he flicked his wrist.

With a sneer, bright red blood flew three meters away in the direction of the sword blade, and a big head fell to the ground.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers drew their swords from their sheaths and pointed them directly at Zhao Yun and Zhang He.

They shouted in unison: "I will escort the two generals to sleep in peace!"

The two of them have been together for more than ten years and have never seen any big storms. Naturally, they will not be shocked by such a small scene.

Two whistles sounded, one after the other.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion and a fine Xiongnu sweat horse broke free from the shackles of the horses and ran toward the camp.

According to common sense, although good horses understand human nature, after all, not every horse is a red horse and does not have such a high IQ.

However, the generals in Cao's camp had long been accustomed to seeing Chi Ji's evildoer, so they could not help but imitate Zhang Wu in training their horses.

The simplest thing like running toward the Lord when the whistle blows can still be done.

Zhao Yun no longer hesitated, put away his sword, and moved forward with a bright silver spear to open a passage.

Zhang He followed closely behind, blocking open and hidden arrows from three sides.

As soon as the two men were on horseback, it was difficult for the armored soldiers to block the sharp attack. Hundreds of armored soldiers were scattered in formation with just one charge.

"No wait, Junyi. You and I will go to the river separately. When we see Huang Zu showing up, shoot him with arrows. Don't let him leave Jiangxiakou. If we succeed, we will whistle as a signal."

"Don't worry Zilong, I understand the importance."

At this time, Huang Zu and a group of close followers stood at the port, urging the soldiers to board the ship.

Huang Zu is not stupid.

These 40,000 naval soldiers who are good at fighting are the foundation for his livelihood, and these soldiers are his greatest wealth.

With them around, no matter where Huang Zu went, he would be the guests of other princes.

Lu Meng stood aside quietly without any movement. This also made Huang Zu feel relieved.

He was even more convinced that Lu Meng was Zhou Yu's thorn in Cao's camp. Even because of this relationship, some of the unhappiness he felt when fighting for power in the past disappeared with Jiang Feng.

After all, he himself was from Jiangdong, and Huang Zu was originally subordinate to Cao Cao. It was impossible to coexist peacefully no matter how he thought about it.

"Ziming, I still have something to explain clearly before leaving."

"I am all ears."

Huang Zu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiangdong: "I surrendered to Jiangdong today as a last resort. In the early years, I had a grudge against Sun Ce for killing my father. Can Zhou Yu really guarantee my glory, wealth, and military power?"

Lu Meng had long thought that Huang Zu would ask this question. He replied: "Don't worry, Prefect. Wu Hou is the lord of Jiangdong first, and then the son of Jiangdong Tiger. Not to mention that the governor is the guarantor, even Wu Hou himself knows in his heart that the Prefect is Jiangdong's helper, and there are some grievances in the past. Because of Liu Biao, the prefect only acted according to orders and could not be regarded as the enemy of Wu Hou. "

There is nothing wrong with saying this beautifully, and Huang Zu himself feels the same way.

But Lu Meng's words "Wuhou" aroused Huang Zu's vigilance.

There is indeed nothing wrong with subordinates calling their master a noble title, just like Huang Zu calling Cao Cao also the 'King of Wei'.

But when truly close ministers address themselves as king, they usually call him 'Lord'.

If Sun Ce really made Lu Meng pretend to surrender to the enemy, then the relationship between the two of them should be very close.

Even Lu Meng could endure it when he called Sun Ce's cousin Huang Zu.

And it was the "Wu Hou" that was neither salty nor bland, as if it was talking about an insignificant passerby on the roadside.
Maybe it’s because Lu Meng is closer to Zhou Yu, right?

Huang Zu thought like this, and continued calmly: "It's ridiculous that Zhang Thief is known for promoting generals, but now he has been tricked by the general. I really want to see what that guy's expression looks like when he hears the news."

Lu Meng subconsciously clenched his fists and glanced at Huang Zu with sharp eyes.

When he saw Huang Zu's palm placed on the hilt of the sword, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled lightly and cupped his hands at Huang Zu: "If you are not good at what you have learned, you will show your shame."

I have been reading military books for nearly half a year, but I didn't expect that the first plan I came out to offer would be discovered by others.

But Lu Meng didn't regret it much.

The overall situation has been decided. If you want to see through it, see through it.

But let him pretend to flatter and call Zhang Wu a thief? He can't do it!

After all, Lu Meng is not a counselor in the traditional sense, let alone like Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who can say anything for their own benefit.

Even though he is more like a wise general at this time, a wise general is also a general!

As a general, his blood does not allow him to insult his great benefactor just for the sake of profit.

At this time, Huang Zu's knife was already placed on Lu Meng's neck: "Shuzi! How dare you deceive me! Are you really not afraid of death?"

Lu Meng's expression did not change, he stood with his hands behind his hands, looking past Huang Zu towards the Gongun River: "Isn't it better to die honestly? Why bring shame on yourself?"

"what?"

Tsk! ~
The next second, a long knife passed through Huang Zu's back and came out from his chest.

Blood gushed out along the wounds, staining the lining under the armor red.

Huang Zu turned around in disbelief, pointed at the person behind him and was speechless for a long time before his figure collapsed.

Huang Zu's mistake was that he overestimated the loyalty of human nature.

Although his direct subordinates followed him for a long time, it was based on the premise that he was the prefect of Jiangxia.

He pulled such a large number of people to flee to Jiangdong, and he didn't even ask others if they were willing to leave their hometown with him.
