Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111 Lu Bu's Decision

The hasty footsteps broke Shang Shusheng's solemnity and quietness, and the captain of the guard hurried over, approached Lu Bu, and reported the matter to him.

"What? The retreating three princes have all come forward? What is Wang Yun going to do?" Lu Bu was startled, and blurted out.Those who come are not kind, these three old guys, if you don't make trouble for them, they will make trouble for yourself!What cards do they have!
"Let's go! Go and have a look! Du Ji stays here, you two go and take a look with me!" Lu Bu shouted to Li Ru and Jia Xu.

The three walked quickly, followed by nearly a hundred soldiers.After all, this is the palace, and Lu Bu is not good at galloping on a horse all the time.Of course, every guard in the palace is his own. This is Lu Bu's bottom line. In history, countless people have proved the importance of this point with their blood and lives.

Lu Bu soon knew the hole cards of Wang Yun and the three of them. Yes, although they had suffered a crushing defeat, they still had their cards. This was their life.People are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death?The three of Wang Yun were already prepared to die, so naturally they were not afraid of anything.

Before Lu Bu and the others reached the palace gate, they heard a faint noise coming from the palace gate, accompanied by screams and panic.

"What's the matter!?" Lu Bu, Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other, vaguely guessing something.

A group of soldiers rushed over, "Marquis Wen!" they exclaimed.

"What happened!" Lu Bu regained his indifference and composure.

"Marquis Wen! The three princes drew their swords and killed themselves. They all fell in front of the palace gate. Before they died, they shouted..." The captain of the soldiers carefully glanced at Lu Bu's face.

"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly." Jia Xu was startled, and said hastily.

"Shout out, Marquis Wen is a national traitor, and the whole world will punish him! They swore to die to repay the late emperor." The captain of the soldiers said out loudly.

"What? Hmph!" Lu Bu was silent for a few breaths.

"In front of the palace gate, how many people have seen it? How many people have heard it?" Li Ru rolled his eyelids and asked nonchalantly, his tone seemed to be no big deal.To him, when Dong Zhuo was alive, how few people were killed?What kind of battle has never been seen!

"In addition to the hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate of the palace, there are also many passing people and some passing officials." The captain of the soldiers reported honestly.

"Hmph! The preparations are quite sufficient! An official will pass by! Immediately issue a martial law order, seal the city gate, and put the whole city on alert!" Lu Bu said decisively.

"No!" Jia Xu said, and led the soldiers back to Shangshu Province.There are soldiers' seals for the transmission of orders, which are not accessible to these soldiers.It must be issued by Shang Shusheng's servant, and he is only giving orders, and Lu Bu must come to transfer the soldiers behind.

"Immediately block the front of the palace gate! Everyone wait, don't come near!" Lu Bu continued.

"The matter has come to this point, whether to block the scene or not will not help the matter. They must have a backup, and the news may have spread!" Li Ru couldn't help but reminded.Although Lu Bu's actions were quick and decisive, it was broad daylight after all, so it would be hard to cover up this matter!

"Let's go and have a look!" Lu Bu said with a sigh.I didn't expect, I didn't expect, these old guys are so fearless!Still, why didn't they do it in the first place?Didn't do it until now?
It's Cao Cao!The two looked at each other, knowing what was in their hearts.

No wonder there were so many commotions in Chang'an City!It seems that Cao Cao's forces are behind the scenes, so it is their masterpiece that Sangong committed suicide at the palace gate!
Lu Bu and Li Ru came to the gate of the palace, followed closely by nearly a hundred soldiers.Looking at the three corpses that were tightly locked up, Lu Bu snorted coldly.He waved his hand, but his interest faded, and he didn't bother to take a closer look.He signaled the soldiers to continue guarding, and he and Li Ru walked to the blood-red palace gate, discussing in a low voice.

Surrounded by closely guarded soldiers, with cold faces, staring vigilantly around, there is no pedestrian in the vicinity, chill and quiet.

"How should we deal with this matter? Although it will not cause fatal harm to us, its impact will definitely not be small and will be very far-reaching!" Lu Bu asked Li Ru.

"Inwardly, the officials are bound to be terrified, and there will be many officials and common people who sympathize with them. This will affect the reputation of Marquis Wen and shake the foundation of Marquis Wen! Externally, the princes around and even the princes of the world, They will get a huge excuse to deal with us, which will become a weapon in their hands, and at the same time, try to weaken the majesty of the court and His Majesty." Li Ru analyzed.

"So?" Lu Bu knew that this guy had a countermeasure.

"Inwardly, confuse the public; externally, plan ahead!" Li Ru said.

"Haha! Clever!" Lu Bu reacted quickly, patted Li Ru on the shoulder, and smiled.This set, isn't it the set of later generations, I will do it myself!
"Come on!" Lu Bu called.Several teams of soldiers rushed over, waiting for Marquis Wen's order.

"This is an assassination case! The murderer may be a remnant of the Xiliang Army, or an assassin of the Kwantung princes! The murderer openly assassinated the three elders who came to see His Majesty during the daytime! It is lawless! Execute! Now, the whole city is under martial law, immediately notify and launch a search, and we must catch the killer!" Lu Bu opened his eyes and spoke nonsense, his face not red and his heart beating.

These soldiers couldn't help being taken aback for a few breaths.

"Why, didn't you hear the order of the Marquis? Also, the soldiers guarding the palace gate failed to protect several elders, and all of them were grounded! Return to the barracks, strengthen training, and are not allowed to go out in March!"

The murderer is naturally the witnesses who passed by.

"Call the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Zhang Zhong! If the assassin is caught, he will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation!" Lu Bu continued. In just a few words, there was great terror implied.Behind this, there is bound to be countless bloodshed, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.In order to cover up the truth, Lu Bu is very ruthless at the moment.

"This is the decision of the lord in troubled times!" Li Ru secretly said.

"The whole audience couldn't find a murder weapon. What a dereliction of duty!..." Lu Bu made a decision, and Li Ru began to add, fulfilling his duty as a military advisor for his crimes. The document "inviting the three princes to enter the palace", etc., some things that Lu Bu hadn't noticed, were all added by him.

These soldiers were selected from among Lu Bu's trusted soldiers and horses. After realizing it, they immediately carried out Lu Bu's military order without hesitation.

"If you have the right to use it, it will become invalid after the expiration date! While the court still has some airs, let's deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Yan by the way, and support Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce!" Lu Bu secretly said, winking at Li Ru.

"Promise!" Li Ru understood that the "confuse the public" was over, and it was natural for him to "make plans early".
