Chapter 717 The Death of Du Fuwei

In the city of Xuzhou.

Wang Shibian, the governor of Xuzhou, considered himself a person who was very good at judging the situation.As Wang Shichong's elder brother, after Luoyang was captured, without the support of his elder brother's forces, Xuzhou's people's hearts were fluctuating, and the generals and gentry were unstable, and they might rebel at any time.

As an important town of one side, Xuzhou has an extremely important strategic position in the struggle for the world, but because its location extends in all directions and is close to Jifu, it is not enough to separate one side.So Wang Shibian made a decisive decision and announced that he would serve Li Tang. With the help of Li Tang's momentum, he appeased the generals and soldiers under his command and stabilized the situation in Xuzhou.And Wang Shibian's surrender to Li Tang was considered very capable of judging the situation, and it could be regarded as paving the way for his future.

But right now, Wang Shibian felt a sense of discouragement. As the governor of Xuzhou, he couldn't help but think of his predecessor as the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian in the Three Kingdoms period.Tao Qian was unable to fight against Cao Cao, so he asked Liu Bei to help him, and later entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

Thinking of the current situation, Wang Shibian couldn't help feeling how similar the history was. Tao Qian was replaced by himself, and Liu Bei was replaced by Du Fuwei.The difference is that Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to come, but Du Fuwei was an uninvited guest.

After Li Chongjiu led the main army to land in Donghai County, Du Fuwei's back road was cut off by his army. Du Fuwei's more than [-] troops gave up attacking Langya County, but fled into Xuzhou without any explanation.

As an alliance in name, Wang Shibian had no way of refusing it, but he never thought that Du Fuwei would occupy the magpie's nest as soon as Du Fuwei entered Xuzhou. Come.Wang Shibian didn't even have the slightest strength to fight back.

"Brother Wang, why don't you speak? Zhao Jun's army is under pressure right now. Xuzhou is in danger. What's your plan?"

In the hall, Du Fuwei interrupted Wang Shibian's meditation and said.

Wang Shibian said indifferently: "Everything in front of me is up to King Wu, so I don't have any plans."

Du Fuwei smiled and ignored him for now.In fact, he also admired this clever plan. Originally, his situation was extremely dangerous after the back road was cut off, but after Fu Gongyou offered himself a plan to retreat into Xuzhou to seize Wang Shibian's land, he not only had a place to turn around, but also I am really happy to take such an important town from Li Tang's hands by taking advantage of it.

What's more, there is no need to worry, Li Yuan blames himself for this. Of course, if Wang Shibian is Li Yuan's direct lineage, it is another matter.But what Du Fuwei was not happy about was that he had just retreated to Xuzhou when Zhao Jun pressed up from all directions and chased him to the city of Xuzhou.Du Fuwei is now going to rely on Xuzhou's city defense to resist Zhao Jun one or two, and stand by for help.

Seeing Wang Shibian's gloomy face, Du Fuwei didn't pay attention to him. Such a person is too light in the city, showing emotions and anger, so he won't cause any trouble to him.

Now Du Fuwei, as the Minister of Jiangnan Dao Xingtai, made arrangements in Wang Shibian's mansion to let his cronies go to guard the city, and at the same time broke up the Xuzhou army in Wang Shibian's hands. The ratio of three was mixed into the Jianghuai Army and re-formed.This not only strengthens its own power, but also eliminates hidden dangers.

After the decision was announced, Du Fuwei couldn't help sneering at Wang Shibian who dared to be angry but dared not speak up, and thought that if he didn't want to give Li Yuan some face, he could kill Wang Shibian now, but right now his The military power has been taken away by me, and I don't worry about him causing any troubles, so I just let him live a few more days.

At that moment, Du Fuwei sent Wang Shibian away, and even occupied Xuzhou Governor's Mansion himself.

After Wang Shibian walked out of the governor's mansion, his face was full of anger, but at this time a person came up and said, "Wang Shijun, are you free, can you say a word or two?"

Wang Shibian turned out to be Fu Gongyou, Du Fuwei's deputy.Wang Shibian said unhappily at the moment: "What can I talk to you about?"

Fu Gongyou smiled and said: "Wang Shijun, don't refuse so early, maybe after we talk, we will find that we are very speculative with each other?"

Wang Shibian nodded and said, "Okay, please!"

Now Wang Shibian and Fu Gongyou found a remote place under the city.The two retreated to the left and right, and Fu Gongyou immediately said straight to the point: "I know that Brother Wang has occupied Xuzhou for the King of Wu, and I am very dissatisfied in my heart. I can't bear to put this on anyone else, and I have been dissatisfied with the King of Wu for a long time. Now come to see Brother Wang, I want to find a chance to eradicate King Wu."

Wang Shibian sneered and said, "Mr. Fu, why did you come to test me on behalf of the King of Wu? Aren't you two close friends? Why did you betray the King of Wu?"

Fu Gongyou said: "One time and another time, the king of Wu didn't know the destiny. He offended both Li Tang and Da Zhao. , I can't bear to see the destruction in his hands, so now it's time to set things right, I know Brother Wang doesn't trust me, but I have a letter written by His Majesty to prove that my words are true."

Wang Shibian was taken aback when he heard this, but he saw that Fu Gongyou did take out a letter and gave it to him.

After receiving the letter, Wang Shibian took a closer look. It was indeed Li Yuan who wrote to Fu Gongyou, asking him to act cheaply.

Wang Shibian got up quickly after seeing it, and said respectfully: "It turns out that Your Excellency is His Majesty's confidant, I'm sorry."

Fu Gongyou laughed and said: "Don't be polite, it's better to get rid of Du Fuwei first. This Xuzhou City is your site, Wang Cishi, so I think we two will work together to get rid of Du Fuwei here, you see how?"

Wang Shibian heard and said: "This is very difficult. My men and horses are all controlled by Du Fuwei. Now that I have lost the military power, I am afraid it will be difficult to help you?"

Fu Gongyou asked: "Don't you have any troops to mobilize?"

Seeing this, Wang Shibian nodded and said: "If I really want to do it, there are still three hundred dead soldiers available, and each of them can count as ten."

Fu Gongyou patted his legs and said with a smile: "Then such a big event can be accomplished."

"Will the plan come out?" Wang Shibian asked hastily.

Fu Gongyou smiled, and said confidently: "The two most trusted generals of Du Fuwei are Wang Xiongshui and Kan Ling. Now Wang Xiongshui has fallen into the Zhao army, and Kan Ling is the only one who is now acting as a substitute for Du Fu. Wei is in charge of the entire army. I can use Du Fuwei's order to deceive Kan Ling and make him stand still. And Wang Shishi, you lead the dead into the mansion and kill Du Fuwei. In this way, you will be done and go to Your Majesty. Concern."

Wang Shibian was also very moved when he heard this, but he frowned and said: "I heard that Du Fuwei is cautious by nature and refuses to trust people. If this is the case, wouldn't it be better for you to do it, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Gongyou said: "You don't know. Du Fuwei has suspected me for a long time, and he is very wary of me in secret. If I make a move, he must be aware of it. At present, only Wang Cishi is the best candidate. Don't worry. , Du Fuwei's left and right cronies have been bribed by me, and I will succeed when I do it."

Hearing this, Wang Shibian's doubts disappeared, and he immediately said: "So everything is up to the wishes of the assistant!"

After hearing this, Fu Gongyou said happily: "Remember, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, I only want a dead King Wu, not a living King Wu!"

After the two made a plan, Wang Shibian gathered 300 people that night and headed towards Du Fuwei's mansion.Wang Shibian saw that there was no patrolling person along the way, and he knew that Fu Gongyou had already transferred the people away, so he was able to pass unimpeded.

Before arriving at Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, someone had already opened the door for Wang Shibian.

"Is it Wang Shibian? Du Fuwei is inside, and he is asleep now, please do it quickly!" the man whispered to Wang Shibian.

Wang Shibian was overjoyed at the moment, led his troops, and immediately rushed into the mansion.

There was no resistance in the mansion, until in front of the central gate, only two of Du Fuwei's guards shouted in the dark night: "Who are you?"

Wang Shibian's subordinates drew their swords and hacked the two of them to death without waiting for the other party's explanation.

But the dying screams of the two guards caused the door to blow a warning horn!
The desolate sound of the trumpet was suddenly heard far and wide in Xuzhou city in the dark night.Wang Shibian was a little nervous, and immediately ordered his soldiers to knock on the door.So more than a dozen burly men forcefully smashed open the middle door, and dozens of Du Fuwei's personal soldiers and several prostitutes inside the door all drew their knives and shot them to death.

The two sides fought bloody in front of the middle gate. In the chaos, Du Fuwei also rushed out with a big knife and shouted: "Wang Shibian, you are so bold, you dare to oppose a certain!"

Wang Shibian sneered and said: "Du Fuwei, you traitor, you really think you are who you are. Now I am following the order of the emperor to kill you, and I will die quickly!"

Du Fuwei was so angry that he raised his knife and stepped forward to fight.Although Du Fuwei is brave, after all, time is not forgiving. After killing several people, he also suffered several wounds on his body.But Du Fuwei saw that the fighting in the mansion was so fierce, but none of his men came to rescue him, so he couldn't help feeling sad and angry.

At this time, in the south tower of the city, the table was overturned, and the food and wine spilled all over the floor.

General Du Fuwei, Kan Ling, was firmly held down by several big men on the left and right.His side Fu Gongyou sneered and said, "Kan Ling, I will give you two choices right now. One is to continue to be loyal to your adoptive father, and then I will kill you with one knife. The other is to surrender to me. Which way do you choose?"

Kan Ling struggled for a while and said, "King Wu is only my adoptive father after all, and he didn't give me my life, so why pay him back with my life, of course it's fatal."

Fu Gongyou laughed loudly when he heard the words, and immediately ordered people to let go of Kan Ling and said: "Okay. Now Wang Shibian has besieged the Governor's Mansion and dared to assassinate the King of Wu. I want you to lead your troops into the Governor's Mansion immediately and wipe out all the traitors." understand?"

Kan Ling stood up straight, with serious eyes and said, "No! I'll take Wang Shibian's head for you!"

After finishing speaking, Kan Ling immediately mobilized three thousand Jianghuai troops in the city to surround Xuzhou Governor's Mansion.

But seeing that the shouts of killing in the governor's mansion had stopped at this time, Kan Ling didn't wait to ask what was going on inside, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen: "Fire arrows into the mansion for me, and don't want anyone alive!"
