Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, before Fan Shang could figure out everyone's identity.

Xu Sheng looked at the cowering Fan Shang and said calmly, "Are you here on the orders of the criminal Qu Lian?"

Hearing Xu Sheng's contemptuous words towards Qu Lian, Fan Shang no longer had the momentum to scold Gu Jun as he did in the Linyi Palace, and quickly replied.

"I have come here with great gifts on the orders of my king, and am willing to represent Linyi and the Han Dynasty in eternal peace..."

Before Fan Shang could finish speaking, Gan Ning, who was sitting on the side, interrupted him directly.

"Wait a minute, what do you represent?"

Fan Shang shrank his neck and answered uncertainly, "Linyi Kingdom?"

"joke!"

Gan Ning sneered. "Are you pretending to be crazy here? Or do you not even know the contents of the document that was sent to the criminal district?"

"Today's Linyi County is the ancient land of our Han Dynasty, Xianglin County. It was originally the territory of our Han Dynasty, but the criminals broke off the land and established their own country."

"Our Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette and courtesy, and we have benevolent gentlemen. We do not want to resort to war and cause endless slaughter."

"So I give you a chance. You must return Linyi County and the occupied land of Rinan County within one month. Then let the criminal Qu Lian tie himself up here. Only then will I not pursue the previous rude offenses. Otherwise, once the army moves, I will crush Linyi into dust."

"Since Linyi County must be returned, how can you still call yourself the Linyi Kingdom?"

Fan Shang was sweating profusely and his mouth was bitter after listening to this. Naturally, he knew nothing about the content of the documents that Gu Jun brought.

The document was only seen by Qu Lian, who also concealed it.

The order given to Fan Shang was to bring valuable gifts to pay a visit to the governor of Rinan County, Yu Guo, and test whether there was anything unusual in Rinan County.

"This this……"

Fan Shang stuttered for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

Fan Shang didn't know how to answer, but Gan Ning spoke on his behalf.

"Could it be that the criminal Qu Lian does not want to return Linyi County? Then, by coming here, are you declaring war?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shang was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot.

The long camp stretching for miles and the mighty and well-armored Han army made Fan Shang not have the confidence to open his mouth. He was even more afraid of causing any misunderstanding and not being able to leave the tent.

"No, no, no, no, General Han has misunderstood. My king has always respected the Han people. Even the Linyi Kingdom mainly speaks Chinese."

Fan Shang quickly started to defend himself.

"It's just...it's just that my king also needs some time to prepare before he can give the land, so he sent me to deliver the gift first to reassure the general of the Han Dynasty."

At this moment, Fan Shang, who was so eager to survive, no longer cared about Qu Lian's thoughts and started making up stories on the spot, hoping to get away with it first.

And Yu Guo suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Where is Gu Jun, the envoy I sent to Champa, now?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shang's body trembled suddenly, and he answered hesitantly, "I am... currently a distinguished guest in the Champa palace, being treated with courtesy by my king."

However, there was not a single fool among those present.

Fan Shang's panic-stricken reaction undoubtedly revealed an attempt to hide something.

The next moment, Gan Ning suddenly stood up, glared at Fan Shang and shouted harshly.

"Tell me! Where is the Han envoy Gu Jun now?!"

Frightened by Gan Ning's might, Fan Shang felt his heart skip a beat. Knowing that it would be difficult to conceal, he could only answer nervously. "It's in the coffin outside the tent."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent changed color slightly.

Even the State of Yu, which had expected this, could not help but feel grief-stricken when it received the exact news.

"So brave!!"

Gan Ning and Sun Ce's desks were kicked over almost at the same time, and they shouted angrily in unison.

This made Gan Ning and Sun Ce look at each other in surprise, and then they quickly walked towards Fan Shang in two steps.

Looking at Gan Ning and Sun Ce's furious faces, Fan Shang quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"This, this is all the willful behavior of King Linyi. I have tried to persuade King Linyi not to hurt the Han envoy. I am innocent and my heart is with the Han..."

However, Fan Shang's humble plea for mercy only aroused the anger of Gan Ning and Sun Ce.

Sun Ce even drew out the Han sword from his waist and said angrily.

"The Han envoy has been killed by you lowly villains. This is too much of an insult to the Han people! I will kill you first, this broken-backed dog. Then I will go to Champa to get Qu Lian's head, so that I can offer sacrifice to the Han envoy's spirit in heaven."

After saying that, Sun Ce drew his Han sword and wanted to chop directly at Fan Shang.

Sun Ce might not know Gu Jun, but when Gu Jun represented Rinan County, he represented the Han Dynasty.

Then the killing of Gu Jun was tantamount to declaring war on the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Sending Han envoys, no matter how arrogant the envoys' behavior is, is an act of etiquette, representing that the peace-loving Han Dynasty is still willing to give you a chance for peace.

However, the killing of the Han envoy was to lift the ceremonial veil of the Han Dynasty and have a good look at the fangs of the Han Dynasty beneath the ceremonial veil.

"stop!"

Suddenly, Xu Sheng shouted abruptly.

Sun Cefa paused slightly, but the Han sword was still on Fan Shang's neck, causing the hair on Fan Shang's neck to stand on end, and he did not move.

"Why?" Sun Ce asked Xu Sheng.

"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!"

Xu Sheng's face was also filled with anger, but he still calmly tried to dissuade him.

"We represent our lord and the Han Dynasty. We must not act recklessly and leave a stain on our lord and the Han Dynasty. If we kill this beast right now, wouldn't that make the Han Dynasty similar to this barbaric country?"

This sentence moved Sun Ce, who was already furious.

Immediately, Sun Ce's chest heaved rapidly, and he swung the Han sword that was on Fan Shang's neck upwards, directly cutting off one of Fan Shang's ears.

"what!"

Fan Shang subconsciously let out a cry of pain and instinctively covered the wound with one hand, but facing Sun Ce's furious eyes, he quickly forced himself to hold it back and dared not make another sound.

"The reason I only cut off one of your ears is to keep the other one. Remember this. I, Sun Ce, will personally go to Champa soon and capture all of you alive. For the time being, hang your head around your neck. When I arrive in Champa one day, I will personally take it off."

Frightened by the domineering tone in Sun Ce's words, Fan Shang did not dare to refute at all. He could only kowtow repeatedly to thank Sun Ce for not killing him.

The next moment, a foot stepped on Fan Shang's shoulder.

Gan Ning, who particularly liked to step on others, looked down at Fan Shang and said in a cold voice.

"Tell me everything you know about the Han envoy. Otherwise, even though the Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette and will not kill the envoy, I don't know if you will leave anything behind." (End of this chapter)
