The last three kingdoms

Chapter 258 Mistakenly Entered
Qiao Zhou's face was solemn, and he was silent.

It is one thing to write a letter to persuade the emperor to surrender to Wei, but it is another thing to force the emperor to surrender to Wei. If the reputation of "Confucius in the middle of Shu" is really necessary to hold the emperor hostage, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Qiao Zhou's reputation will be completely ruined.

Xu You said excitedly to Qiao Zhou: "Grand Qiao, the life and death of thousands of scholars in the middle of Shu depends on your single thought. You should stop it and let it mess you up. I hope you will put the overall situation first!"

"Mr. Qiao, please put the overall situation first." Everyone said in unison.Qiao Zhou is currently the highest official in Yizhou's local department, and also the most prestigious. Except for Qiao Zhou, no one else really has this leadership ability.

"Father—" Qiao Xi said beside him, as if trying to persuade Qiao Zhou.

Qiao Zhou waved his hand to signal him not to continue, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Personal honor and disgrace, gains and losses, and the future and destiny of the Shu Zhongshi's family are incomparable after all. "

Seeing Qiao Zhou agreeing, everyone was overjoyed, as if a big stone in their hearts had finally fallen.

The next step is to secretly discuss how to proceed. Naturally, such an important matter cannot be acted hastily. After all, everyone's wealth and life are tied to the front line.Everyone brainstormed and quickly came up with a feasible plan.

In this plan, the most critical point is how to ensure a successful sneak attack outside Xuanchong Gate and hold Liu Chan hostage.Knowing that although Liu Chan has left the palace, its guards are strict and cannot be underestimated. It is obviously not an easy task to break through the siege of the heavily guarded Imperial Forest Army and catch Liu Chan.

Xu You's plan is that the soldiers should not be many but fine. If all the troops of the scholars are mobilized to participate in the battle, they will definitely startle the enemy. Now they can only resort to sneak attacks, and the soldiers will select the best soldiers Come on, do this mission.Although it is said that the left and right governors of Habayashi are all from the Jingxiang lineage, it does not mean that all of the Habayashi Army are from Jingxiang, except for Qiao Zhou's two sons, Qiao Xian and Qiao Tong, who served as Habayashi in the Habayashi Army. In addition to Lang, there are still many children of Shijia who serve in the Habayashi Army. This is definitely a force that can be used.

In the end, it was decided that the dead men of the scholar family would set up an ambush outside Xuanchongmen one step ahead of time, and when the emperor Luan came out of Xuanchongmen, they would work together with Nei Ying from the Habayashi guards to clear the imperial guards around the emperor and hold the emperor hostage.As long as the Emperor can be held as a hostage, the next thing will become much simpler, and the Habayashi Army who is serving as the imperial guards will definitely be cautious and dare not act rashly.Then the emperor could be taken hostage to Guan County, west of Chengdu, where Xu You's younger brother would accompany him. At the same time, he sent envoys to the Wei army camp to express his intention to surrender to Zhong Hui. When Zhong Hui's army entered Chengdu, the overall situation would be settled.

Just when everyone was discussing, a person suddenly appeared in the lobby, which surprised everyone including Qiao Zhou.

The person who came was none other than Bo Chenshou, the head of the Lieutenant's Palace.

Chen Shou and Qiao Zhou had a teacher-student friendship, and they planned to move their capital to Nanzhong this time. Chen Shou was also worried about the teacher's old health, so he came to visit him before leaving.Given the relationship between Chen Shou and Qiao Zhou, the guards guarding the gate regarded him as one of their own, and there was always no need to notify him, they just entered the mansion directly.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the lobby, he heard noisy voices in the hall. Although Chen Shou didn't deliberately eavesdrop, but when he got closer, those few words still drifted into his ears. Discuss against things.

Chen Shou is from Brazil, and he is from the same hometown as Qiao Zhou, so he is also a member of the Yizhou local faction, but Chen Shou is currently working in the Lieutenant's Mansion, working under Liu Yin's hand, so everyone looks at Chen Shou with strange eyes .

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit cold, and everyone looked at Chen Shou in surprise. Some people even put their hands on the hilt of their swords with fierce eyes. What they discussed was all about selling their heads. After all, they will die without a place to bury them, so they have to be cautious, and if there is any trouble, it will be like facing a big enemy.

However, Qiao Zhou coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Oh, it's Chengzuo who is here. You go to the study to sit for a while, and you will come later as a teacher."

Chen Shou also realized that it was inappropriate to continue to stay here, so he gave a long bow and retreated.

Zhou Ju's eyes flashed sharply, and he said to Qiao Zhou: "This Chen Chengzuo is Liu Yin's confidant, the scum of the children in Shu, why don't Qiao Gong kill him, so as to avoid future troubles."

Qiao Zhou shook his head and said: "Since Cheng Zuo is Liu Yin's confidant, if he dies or disappears, he will definitely attract Liu Yin's attention. Wouldn't our big plan come to naught? A little intolerance will lead to chaos, so don't be impulsive."

"Then if Chen Shou reported this matter to Liu Yin, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

Qiao Zhou said: "The relationship between the old man and Chengzuo is very unusual, so I personally persuaded him. He is also from Yizhou, and we share weal and woe. I believe he can recognize the strength. Wait a moment, the old man will come when he goes." After finishing speaking, Qiao Zhou got up and went to the study.

Chen Shou was still immersed in the shocking news. Although he didn't know what the specific deployment of Qiao Zhou and others was, the facts were indisputable.In his impression, Mr. Qiao was a knowledgeable, highly respected person, honest and loyal, but he never expected that he would actually participate in the murder of the emperor.

Qiao Zhou walked into the study, and Chen Shou hurriedly saluted, saying that he was a benefactor.Qiao Zhou waved his hand casually, motioning for Chen Shou to sit down.

"Cheng Zuo, why do you have time to visit Master today?" Qiao Zhou said with an authentic expression.

"The capital will be moved soon, and the students are concerned about the teacher's health, so they come here to pay a visit." Chen Shou said, this is also his truth.

Qiao Zhou said with a serious expression: "Chengzuo, you must have seen that the Yizhou scholars are quite dissatisfied with the move of the capital. They want to remonstrate with the emperor, but they are not trying to murder the emperor. Chengzuo, you are also a child of Shuzhong, understand What is the current situation, there is no way out for Yizhou scholars, they can only fight back and survive in desperation. Being a teacher does not seek fame and wealth, and regards fame and wealth as dung, even if he is to descend to Wei, he will not be affected by Wei's officials Jue, it is only for the preservation of the family of Zhongshu scholars, even if you lose your reputation as a teacher, it is not a pity."

Chen Shou was silent for a moment, and said: "The students understand what the teacher did, but this matter is extremely dangerous. The teacher may be in danger of life, and the students may not be able to help."

Qiao Zhou said: "You don't need to act as a teacher, as long as you remain silent, this can be regarded as the last request for a teacher."
