The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 170 Abandoning the old master
Lu Bu was busy recruiting craftsmen and developing business in Xuzhou. Many days before that, Jia Xu who came to Hefei also made a plan for Liu Xun.

The back house of the Hefei government, a wing room used to entertain domestic guests.

There are a few low tables in the room, on which delicious food and wine have already been set up.

Liu Xun walked quickly back and forth in the room. From his actions, it could be seen that he was very anxious and uneasy at this moment.

"General, Your Majesty and General Zhang are here!" The guard's report came from outside the house.

Liu Xun slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Until now, his heart was still very complicated.

If he fights Cao Cao to death, Lujiang will never end well in the end. Maybe he will be like Jia Xu said, and he will only get a bad reputation as a traitor after his death.

Killing Zhang Xun and capturing Yuan Yao alive, he will indeed come to a good end, but in the future it is hard to guarantee that no one will say that he betrayed his old master in order to survive.

No matter how he chooses, what he will face in the future will not be something ordinary people can afford.

Things have come to this point, Liu Xun is completely standing on the edge of a cliff.

He shook his head and told the guards outside the door: "Your Majesty and General Zhang are welcome!"

After ordering the guards, Liu Xun went out to wait in person.

After a while, Zhang Xun came with Yuan Yao.

Far away, Liu Xun bowed and gave a big gift: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

The ceremony he performed came from the bottom of his heart, and he also carried endless guilt.

"General Liu, you don't need to be too polite." Yuan Yao raised his hand completely unaware of the danger in front of him.

Liu Xun stood aside and greeted Zhang Xun again.

Inviting the two of them into the room, Zhang Xun found that apart from a few guards, there was no official in the room: "Who else did General Liu invite today?"

"I didn't invite anyone else." Liu Xun replied: "Cao Cao's army is stationed in Yijing, and may come to Hefei at any time, and I don't have the mind to hold a banquet."

"Since you have no thoughts, why invite me and General Zhang?" Yuan Yao was also a little puzzled.

"Please sit down, Your Majesty, I have my own opinion." Liu Xun bowed and said, "I will introduce someone to Your Majesty and General Zhang later."

Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun became more and more confused, and it was hard to ask, so they had to sit down.

"Who is General Liu recommending?" Yuan Yao asked after taking his seat.

"Your Majesty will know later." Liu Xun held up his glass and said, "I will respect Your Majesty and General Zhang first."

Sensing that the banquet was not right, Zhang Xun didn't pick up his glass.

He looked at Liu Xun suspiciously: "General Liu, who is it? If you don't tell me, I always feel unsafe."

"Before meeting that person, I want to borrow something from His Majesty and General Zhang." Liu Xun sighed softly and put down his wine glass.

Also feeling wrong, Yuan Yao asked: "General Liu hesitated, what exactly do you want to borrow?"

"I want to borrow your majesty's freedom and General Zhang's head!" Liu Xun finished speaking, and a group of guards rushed out from behind the screen in the room, surrounding Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun.

At the same time, there was a sound of fighting outside the door.

The sound of fighting ended quickly, apparently the guards brought by Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun had been dealt with.

"Liu Xun, what do you mean!" Zhang Xun slapped the table fiercely, and Zhang Xun stood up holding his sword.

"I don't mean anything." Liu Xun said with a face full of embarrassment: "Mr. Cao sent Jia Wenhe over, and made a promise that as long as I donate the head of General Zhang, he will protect His Majesty from death. For Your Majesty, I am also true." have no choice!"

"Liu Xun, you..." Although Yuan Yao was young, he was not stupid. Knowing that he was betrayed, he stood up and pointed at Liu Xun with an angry look on his face.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Liu Xun got up and walked to the table, knelt down on the ground and said, "I have no choice but to act. After today, I will no longer be able to meet each other with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"I'll kill you!" Liu Xun wanted to take his head and present it to Cao Cao, Zhang Xun would not be willing, he jumped up with a roar, drew his sword and rushed towards Liu Xun.

It's a pity that he was alone after all, and he wasn't an invincible general like Lu Bu, who was stabbed by the guards rushing up from the side after only taking two steps.

The weapons in the hands of more than a dozen guards pierced Zhang Xun's body one after another.

When he collapsed unwillingly, the door was pushed open, and Jia Xu walked in!
Stroking his beard, Jia Xu smiled: "General Liu made a contribution today, and I will definitely report it to Cao Gong. Since then, there will be no Yuan family in Huainan in the world, and the general's contribution is indispensable!"

"Yuan Yao, is the emperor satisfactory?" The smile remained on Jia Xu's face: "Whether you are willing to give up the false name of the emperor to serve my lord, or want to go to the underworld with Zhang Xun, there is still a chance to choose at this time."

"Jia Gong!" Jia Xu revealed that he wanted to kill Yuan Yao, Liu Xun said hastily: "Before we agreed..."

Raising his hand to stop him, Jia Xu said to Liu Xun: "We have left a way of life for others, but if others want to die, what can we do?"

He then asked Yuan Yao: "Dare you ask the emperor of Huainan, do you want to die or live?"

Although Yuan Yao bears the title of emperor, he has never seen such a battle.

There was no response to Jia Xu, he slumped on the ground.

Seeing Yuan Yao limp on the ground, Liu Xun was afraid that Jia Xu would order him to be killed, so he quickly ordered the guards: "Hurry up and capture Yuan Yao!"

The guards rushed forward and tied up Yuan Yao's five flowers.

How could Jia Xu fail to see what Liu Xun was thinking.

He smiled coldly and glanced at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun was chilled by his glance, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Not to mention that Jia Xu and Liu Xun took Zhang Xun's head and captured Yuan Yao alive to show their merits to Cao Cao. When Lu Bu got the news, he just had a brief discussion with Chen Gong and ignored it. He focused on making money. .

When Xiahoudun left Pengcheng, Yuan Yao had not been captured yet.

After all, Pengcheng is much farther away from Shouchun than Hefei.

When he returned to Shouchun, Jia Xu and others returned to Cao Cao.

Hearing that Xiahou Dun was back, Cao Cao ordered him to be taken to the back house.

Although Cao Cao was greedy for beauty, he couldn't bring his family with him when he marched and fought.

When I came to Shouchun, all the local beauties served me, but there were no beauties in Cao Cao's room during the day.

Xiahou Dun stood facing Cao Cao.

Sitting in the room, Cao Cao looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "Yuan Rang went to Pengcheng, did he bring back the Qingzhou Army?"

"Lv Fengxian found various reasons, but he refused to return the Qingzhou army!" Xiahou Dun replied, "I heard that Mancheng killed Li Mao, and my lord will get Huainan. I came here to help."

"I met Wenhe before I met you." Cao Cao said, "Liu Xun killed Zhang Xun and sent Yuan Yao here. Huainan has already fallen into our hands!"

"Congratulations, my lord!" Xiahou Dun congratulated hastily.

Cao Cao calmly waved his hands: "Don't talk about Huainan, did you find anything wrong with Lu Bu in Pengcheng?"

"That's not true." Xiahou Dun replied, "But he found something called coal, which is very useful."
