Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 259
Tai Shici got off his horse, came to Wang Zhao, tore off his mask, and said with a sneer, "Wang Zhao, where are we going to run this time?"

Wang Zhao was taken aback, and asked, "Who are you? How do you know me?"

Tai Shici laughed, and said: "Yuan Shao thinks he is smart enough to send people to pretend to be horse thieves, so no one will know about it? I am Tai Shici, a general under the command of General Zhao Gong, and I have been staring at you pretending horse thieves for a long time. "

"You are Tai Shici who broke Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness?" Wang Zhao asked in surprise.

"I'm here!" Tai Shici proudly replied.

Wang Zhao's eyes darkened. It seemed that he had really let down his vigilance these days, and fell into the surveillance of the other party, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Hmph, if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!" Wang Zhao snorted coldly.

Tai Shici laughed loudly, and said: "I didn't expect you to have a bit of backbone, don't worry, my master still needs you to live a few more days, whether it is life or death, I can't decide."

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhao asked.

Tai Shici waved his hand, and a sergeant next to him came to Wang Zhao, took out hemp rope, wrapped his shoulders, head and back, and tied him firmly.

"Take it to Jinyang and meet the emperor!" Tai Shici said to Wang Zhao.

At this time, Gao Shun and Zang Ba also rushed over, and said to Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, in this battle, six to seven hundred people surrendered, more than 700 people were beheaded, and some of the fish that slipped through the net escaped."

Tai Shici nodded and said: "These surrendered troops will be handed over to the two generals. I will only take Wang Zhao back to Jinyang to meet the lord."

"No problem, General Ziyi, don't worry." Gao Shun said.

"Since there is an escaped fish, Yuan Shao must know about it. The two generals need to be prepared to prevent Yuan Shao from becoming angry and sending troops to attack." Tai Shici instructed.

Zang Ba said: "This is indeed a problem, but with Bo Ping and I around, it is not too difficult. We will divide into two battalions and serve as horns for each other. Even if Yuan Shao's troops press down on the border, we will be able to support the lord to help."

"My lord is really lucky to have the help of the two generals. I will definitely report the merits of the two generals to my lord!" Tai Shici said with a smile.

Zang Ba quickly responded: "Then there is General Lao Ziyi, please tell my lord that with both of us here, Yuan Shao's army will not be allowed to enter Shangdang half a step!"

Tai Shici nodded, without further hesitation, gathered his men and horses, and escorted Wang Zhao to Jinyang.

A few days later, Tai Shici came to Jinyang, went directly to the General's Mansion, and informed Zhao Qian of the process of capturing Wang Zhao alive.

After hearing what Tai Shici said, Zhao Qian said: "Gao Shun is good at attacking, and Zang Ba is good at defending. I am quite relieved to have these two generals guarding the Shangdang camp."

"Don't you need to reinforce the troops?" Tai Shici asked.

Zhao Qian thought for a while and said, "It's not necessary for the time being. In addition to Shangdang's promise, there are also Su Huan and Xu Huang who are stationed in Shangdang County. If there is any sudden incident, I believe they can handle it."

Tai Shici nodded and said nothing more, Zhao Qian said: "Tomorrow, we will bring Wang Zhao to the court meeting and see what else Huang Wan has to say."

"Order!"

The next day, at the court, Zhao Qian took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the leader of the horse bandits who was active on the border between Shangdang and Jizhou has been captured alive. This person is Wang Zhao, Yuan Shao's general. It's obvious."

Liu Bian was furious when he heard this, and said, "Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, did such a rebellious thing. It's really my hope, it's really hateful!"

"Your Majesty, there may be some misunderstanding in this, and you must not blame the Minister of Loyalty!" Huang Wan said again.

Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, that Wang Zhao is outside the palace now, you can bring him here for face-to-face interrogation."

After hearing this, Liu Bian shouted, "Bring Wang Zhao up here!"

Tai Shici received the order, stepped out of the hall, and escorted Wang Zhao to the hall.

Zhao Qian stepped forward and asked, "Bold Wang Zhao, why don't you worship the emperor when you see the emperor? Are you going to rebel?"

Wang Zhao has already knelt down on the ground and said: "The last general Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao's cavalry captain Wang Zhao, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Wang Zhao, you pretended to be a horse thief and robbed states and counties, are you guilty?" Zhao Qian sternly shouted.

Wang Zhao raised his head, and quickly argued: "The last general acted as a horse thief under the order of Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou. It was really helpless."

"Hmph, a helpless move? The general asked you, why did Yuan Shao order you to pretend to be a horse thief?" Zhao Qian asked again.

Liu Bian also shouted: "Quickly tell the truth, if there is any concealment, I will definitely kill you!"

"The last general dare not." Wang Zhao said quickly, "Before, Your Majesty ordered my lord to withdraw his troops, but the lord hated the great general in his heart, and he didn't want to withdraw, so he ordered me to pretend to be a horse thief, so that he could garrison troops justifiably. Wu'an, to observe the situation of the Shangdang."

Zhao Qian ignored Wang Zhao, but said to Huang Wan: "Sikong, the Shangdang is the gate of Jinyang. Isn't Yuan Shao's and Chen Bing's intentions clear when they go to the border of the Party? Don't we have to wait for Yuan Shao's troops to arrive at the city of Jinyang?" , can we confirm Yuan Shao's rebellion?"

"This..." Huang Wan was finally speechless at this moment.

At this time, Liu Bian said: "General, even Yuan Shao has objections, what should I do?"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since I am a great general, I will clean up the world and bring clarity to the world."

"Is the general going to send troops to attack Yuan Shao?" Liu Bian asked.

Zhao Qian paused and said: "At this time, we still need to think long-term. Soldiers, the great weapon of the country, should not be moved lightly."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "I'm really relieved that the general is doing things. I won't bother with this matter anymore and leave it to the general to handle."

"Observe the order!" Zhao Qian said quickly.

"If there is nothing wrong with the family of the ministers, the court will be dispersed." Liu Bian waved his hand.

In addition, after Wang Zhao was captured, all the escaped soldiers under his command ran back to Yuan Shao's camp in Wu'an and reported the matter to Yuan Shao.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face turned livid, and he gathered all his counselors in the tent to discuss countermeasures.

"Then every time Wang Zhao went out to plunder, there was a route and a time. I reminded him many times, but he didn't listen. It's a pity to be captured now!" Guo Tu said with a long sigh.

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu, and said: "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk too much, let's talk about what to do next."

Ju Shou sighed, and said, "My lord, since Wang Zhao was captured by tricks than the other party, it means that Zhao Qian already knew that the horse thief was ordered by the lord to pretend to be captured alive. I am afraid that Wang Zhao would testify against the lord. "

Guo Tu sneered, and said, "Grand and Sir, I remember when I suggested to my lord to send people to pretend to be horse thieves. You came up with this plan, right?"

When Ju Shou heard this, his expression changed, he pointed at Guo Tu, and asked, "Gongze, what do you mean?"
