Chapter 258 The war is about to break out

"He Jin wants to dig up our roots!"

Yuan Shao's rebuke was so deafening that everyone present was shocked.

They looked at each other.

What Yuan Benchu ​​said makes sense!

It would be fine if the tutor was caught.

However, He Jin was greedy and wanted to snatch food from their mouths, which they could not tolerate.

But
Han Fu frowned and said with some concern: "He Jin is a general, what reason do we have to attack him?"

"Hahaha"

Yuan Shao threw his head back and laughed.

Not only Han Fu, but also Feng Fang and others were stunned, feeling surprise and curiosity in their hearts. Did Benchu ​​have any clever ideas?

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Yuan Shao did not explain immediately, but instead asked

"My lords, the general had previously been at loggerheads with the eunuchs, why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Feng Fang tentatively replied, "Could it be that the general was bewitched by a treacherous villain?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Do you know who this evil villain is?"

This question really made Feng Fang's mind full of muscles. He scratched his hair randomly and had to look at Han Fu who was sitting next to him.

Han Fu guessed: "Could it be He Miao, Wu Kuang, or Zhang Zhang?"

"That's right." Yuan Shao nodded. "I have secretly contacted the scholars who stayed in Luoyang, and Dong Zhongying is willing to lend a hand. If the plan goes well, Zhang Zhang and Wu Kuang will definitely fight. We can take advantage of the chaos in Luoyang to publish a manifesto to fight against the rebels and invite heroes from all over the world to come to the capital together to kill the treacherous villains and save the Han Dynasty!"

"Wonderful. Wonderful!" Han Fu slapped his thigh and praised repeatedly.

When Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, spoke, everyone in the provincial government echoed him, thinking that this was a very good plan.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Zhang looked at the secret report sent by the spy and was so angry that his eyes were wide open. He stood up angrily and slapped the teacup on the table into pieces.

He looked up to the sky and shouted

"That's unreasonable!"

"I wonder why the general is different now!"

"It turns out that he was bewitched by Wu Kuang!"

"It really pisses me off!"

At this time, Zhang Zhang's personal guards were still fanning the flames.

"General, please calm down. Wu Kuang is so powerful that we cannot fight him. We should retreat when we should. Don't be so brave. Even though he insulted you--"

Before he finished saying the word "General", the guards quickly shut their mouths.

Zhang Zhang didn't hear anything else, but he heard the word "insult" particularly clearly.

"abuse?!!"

"What insult? Tell me now!"

The guard lowered his head and said bluntly, "I dare not."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Zhang waved his hand. "This is my residence. With me here, what can Wu Kuang do to you?!"

"This..." The guard raised his head, a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was having an intense inner struggle, and finally gritted his teeth and said
"General, Wu Kuang said...speak."

"What did you say?!" Zhang Zhang raised his eyebrows.

"You are a stone in the dunghill, smelly and hard."

"They also said that you were lucky enough to rise from a poor peasant to a general."

As he spoke, the guard lowered his head timidly.

Zhang Zhang was furious and gnashed his teeth. He shouted:

"I wish I could kill him as soon as possible!"

"I am a commoner. Is it worth bragging that Wu Kuang is born into a rich family?"

Zhang Zhang drew his sword angrily, but when he saw the face reflected on the clear blade, his momentum instantly weakened, as if he had some concerns.

"But if I really go to war with Wu Kuang, can I really win?" "How can I survive the general?"

The personal guard secretly sighed, he knew that if things really came to this, Zhang Zhang would definitely think twice.

For the gold and silver in Li Su's hands, he decided to give it all.

"General, don't worry. I have a fellow countryman who is a capable officer in Dong Zhuo's army. If we can convince Dong Zhuo to send troops to help us, we will have a way out even if we are defeated."

"Is it that easy to convince Dong Zhuo? I just don't know what kind of reward is needed!"

When the guard mentioned the reward, his eyes lit up and he knelt on one knee.

"General, I am willing to run around and serve you. I am willing to sign a military order. If this fails, I will die as an apology!"

"OK!"

"You are truly my lucky general!"

Zhang Zhang hurriedly helped his personal guard up, little knowing that the personal guard was delighted.

Xu Jing, who was passing by Zhang Zhang's mansion, thought to himself, Yuanlong reminded me to be careful of Li Su and Li Ru, and I also ordered the captains of the city gates to guard against them strictly and prevent them from entering Luoyang. Even if the policy is not right, we don't have to worry about the threat from Dong Zhuo for a while, right?

But why do I always feel anxious and uneasy?

Xu Jing frowned. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out the problem. It would take time for the assassins to go back and forth.

after a little while

He shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​going further into the matter. He was originally famous for his criticism, not his strategy.

"I have done everything I can, and I will leave it to fate."

As night gradually approached, the sound of gongs and drums wafted through the palace, reminding the palace people to be careful with candlelight and prevent fire.

The sound was so loud that even Xu Jing, who was in the rest area for officials, heard it. He tore off the quilt and sat on the bed. Awakened by the sound of gongs and drums, he suddenly lost his sleepiness.

For some reason, he put on his shoes, walked to the window, opened it, and seemed to want to take a look at the moon hanging in the sky at night.

However, there is no moonlight tonight. Looking around, the sky is pitch black without even a single star. The dark clouds are extremely oppressive, as if they will fall down at any time.

Xu Jing soon lost the desire to continue looking out. When he was about to close the window, he suddenly saw a dim light flickering in the distance, not just one light but a group of lights!
That direction.
It seems to be Wu Kuang’s mansion!

"not good!"

Xu Jing's pupils shrank. He hurriedly grabbed his coat, put it on hastily, and quickly pushed the door open and left.

"Go find the general first!"

A decision instantly came to his mind, and he rushed towards the general's mansion without stopping!

"Zhang Zhang, what are you crazy about?!"

Wu Kuang looked at Zhang Zhang who was leading the troops, and was completely confused. However, when he saw the other party's hazy expression under the torch, he immediately realized that the man was not a good person and that he must have come to call for punishment.

But he was not afraid at all. Would Zhang Zhang dare to take action?

He doesn't believe it!

"Haha, you know what you did!"

Zhang Zhang sneered, but his laughter was interrupted by an unexpected cold arrow.

There was a "whoosh" sound.

The arrow shot out, tearing through the air, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and actually hit Wu Kuang's chest!
His pupils shrank

"Who shot the arrow?!"

Wu Kuang felt pain, and the guard beside him shouted

"Guards, guards!"

Wu Kuang stared at Zhang Zhang with red eyes, gritting his teeth and said

"Zhang Zhang!"

Zhang Zhang, who was already in a difficult situation, had no choice but to issue the order to attack.

The war is about to start.
