The cold moonlight shines on the earth, and there are crickets chirping sadly everywhere. The fragrance of night permeates the air, weaving into a soft net, covering all the scenery.
In Xiangyang City, Chu King Liu Bei was hosting a banquet in the Chu Palace to entertain distinguished guests from Yizhou. The entire Chu Palace was brightly lit and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Zhao Wei, Yan Yan drank one cup after another, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others
The toasted wine made me drunk unconsciously, but the banquet continued.
In the temporary military camp where the Shu army lived, Zhang Song, Zhang Ren, Liu Wei, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Lingbao, Deng Xian and others gathered together.
"Everyone is called here today. I think everyone should be very clear about it, right?" Zhang Song sat on the bed and looked around the room at the six people Zhang Ren, Liu Huang, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao and Deng Xian.
Said slowly.
Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian all looked at each other, each of them showing a look of tenacity on their face, and they all nodded silently.
"Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while." Zhang Song looked at the faces of the six people again and said slowly, "You are all personal guards selected by the king himself. You should all be very clear about the situation of the king. This matter
If it is done, once you return to the Kingdom of Shu, the king will definitely reward you heavily. The positions of general, captain, and lieutenant will all be yours. I only ask you here for the last time, are you willing to sacrifice your life tonight?
Fight?"
"Our lives belong to your Majesty alone, Lord Zhang, please give the order!" Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Lingbao and Deng Xian replied in unison.
After hearing this, Zhang Song nodded solemnly and said: "Very good, the king did not support you in vain, you will start to act soon. However, the king said that the crime is only on Zhao Wei, and has no involvement with anyone else, so,
I want to remind you that you only need to kill Zhao Wei alone, it has nothing to do with others, and you must do it cleanly and neatly."
"promise!"
"Zhao Wei, Yan Yan is still drinking in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. I have placed people beside Zhao Wei. You can sneak into Zhao Wei's residence now. When Zhao Wei returns, you must kill him with one strike. You must be unaware of the gods."
, before you know it, all the blame will be put on Yan Yan." Zhang Song ordered.
"promise!"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian left Zhang Song's residence. Six people, all wearing night clothes, sneaked in quietly under the leadership of Zhang Ren.
Arriving at the room where Zhao Wei lived, he hid in the room and silently waited for Zhao Wei to appear.
In the entire barracks, the Shu army was drunk because of the warm hospitality of the Chu army. For them, after walking out of Chengdu and arriving in the city of Xiangyang, the hospitality of the Chu army made the Shu army feel better in a sense.
Take off your guard and enjoy it to the fullest
Such happiness, so no one would notice the actions of Zhang Ren, Liu Quan, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian. In addition, Zhang Song was very good at enlivening the atmosphere and sent his confidants to each barracks to persuade them to drink.
The Shu army completely gave up its original guard.
In Zhao Wei's room, Zhang Ren, Liu Quan, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian were hiding in different corners, but their goals were the same.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian waited for Zhao Wei for a long time, and their bodies began to become stiff, and they couldn't help but feel a little slack.
"Brother, once Zhao Wei dies, will the king really be able to control the entire Shu Kingdom?" Deng Xian, who was hiding under the bed, suddenly showed his head and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Ren is the oldest among the six, and he is also the most skilled in martial arts, so he is regarded as the leader of the six. What's more, Zhang Ren also serves as the captain, and his official position is a little higher than the other five. Although the six are
There is no sworn sworn relationship, but they treat each other as brothers in normal times, and they habitually call Zhang Ren eldest brother.
"Do you have any doubts about the king's words?" Zhang Ren sat on the beam, his legs hanging freely. After hearing Deng Xian's question, he asked.
"My subordinates don't dare. However, Zhao Wei has a large number of troops and is assisted by Yan Yan. If we only kill Zhao Wei alone, I'm afraid Yan Yan will cause trouble for us. In my opinion, it's better to kill Yan Yan as well."
Forget it." Deng Xian said.
"Yan Yan is highly skilled in martial arts and has courage that no one can match. He is not as easy to deal with as Zhao Wei. I'm afraid that instead of killing him, we will be killed by him." Gao Pei, who was hiding in the corner, felt a little worried.
, expressed his opinion, "Besides, Mr. Bejia has already ordered us to kill only Zhao Wei. We cannot disobey the order."
"Coward! No matter how powerful Yan Yan's martial arts is, his two fists are no match for his four hands. What's more, if we were hiding in the dark and suddenly attacked him, we would definitely be able to catch him off guard. However, Mr. Biji has indeed explained that,
Only kill Zhao Wei, and the others will be spared.
Death. Moreover, this is what the king has instructed Master Biejia. After all, Yan Yan is commanding the Dongzhou soldiers. If he dies and the Dongzhou soldiers lose control, they will become the greatest disaster to the Shu Kingdom." Liu Sui walked from a dark corner.
He came out and said to Gao Pei who was hiding in the corner.
"Don't make any noise, just listen to big brother. We will do whatever big brother tells us to do!" Yang Huai couldn't help but laugh. Hearing that the people in the room started to become active, he said hurriedly.
Although Zhang Ren couldn't stand Yan Yan, he had to admit that Liu Sui's words did make sense, and he could vaguely feel that not killing Yan Yan was just to preserve the overall situation. As long as Yan Yan didn't die, the Dongzhou soldiers would
There will be no chaos, but if Zhao Wei dies, not only will it not cause too much turmoil, but it will cause the collapse of all the original Zhao Wei faction, and they will inevitably rely on Liu Zhang again.
"Listen to the king, we will do whatever the king tells us to do. The king is surrounded by counselors such as Wang Lei, Huang Quan, Qin Mi, Xia Houzun, etc. They have considered everything comprehensively. If they really choose not to kill Yan Yan
, which naturally makes sense. In the Shu Kingdom, it can be said that more than half of the Shu army are
Dongzhou soldiers, Dongzhou soldiers are powerful. Yan Yan is General Pingdi and commands the entire Dongzhou soldiers. As long as Yan Yan is fine, Dongzhou soldiers will not cause rebellion. After Zhao Wei died, Zhang Song would naturally use his eloquent words to persuade
I serve Yan Yan, so you don’t have to worry about this." Zhang Ren explained slowly.
Lingbao remained silent, but after listening to Zhang Ren's words, he said: "Brother has already spoken, everyone should not have any more questions. After we kill Zhao Wei tonight, we will definitely be rewarded by the king when we return.
We brothers can also command the Dongzhou soldiers respectively, weaken Yan Yan bit by bit, and take back the military power, why not?"
"Okay, everyone is hiding. It's already this time, and it's probably time for Zhao Wei to come back." Zhang Ren said impatiently.
After a while, as expected, Zhao Wei, who was very drunk, returned to the room. After Yan Yan who sent him in said goodbye, he lay on the bed alone and fell asleep without any precautions.
Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Lingbao, and Deng Xian waited for Zhao Wei to fall asleep completely before they emerged from various places in the room and gathered in front of Zhao Wei's bed.
They slowly took out the sharp blade in their hands, looked at each other, and without saying a word, raised the knife and slashed towards Zhao Wei's bed.
Poor Zhao Wei didn't even have time to scream before he was killed by random knives and the whole bed was stained with blood.
Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Ling Bao and Deng Xian quickly left the room after finishing their work. Then they each took off their night clothes, put on a suit of armor, and slept in their clothes.
Dare to meet in public again.
The night was uneventful, and in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Wei's entourage woke up and knocked on Zhao Wei's door to ask Zhao Wei to get up. Unexpectedly, after knocking for most of the day, Zhao Wei never opened the door.
He originally thought that Zhao Wei was too asleep, so he didn't hear anything, so he stood at the door and guarded it.
In the afternoon, after Yan Yan woke up, he shook his still dizzy head and felt very unhappy. He didn't plan to drink last night, but he encountered Zhang Fei who kept toasting him, so he had to drink even if he didn't want to. So he didn't intend to drink.
, he drank one cup after another, and he didn’t know how much he drank. He just felt dizzy.
There was plenty of sunshine, shining on the earth and also on Yan Yan's body who had just walked out of the room, making it look so particularly comfortable.
After stretching his waist, Yan Yan remembered that there was something he had not discussed with Zhao Wei, so he walked to Zhao Wei's door.
As soon as he approached the door, he smelled the smell of blood. He was stunned and without saying a word, he immediately pushed open Zhao Wei's door. He was shocked to see Zhao Wei lying dead in a pool of blood for a long time.
It was chopped into a ball of flesh, it was too horrible to look at.
"Sir..." Yan Yan exclaimed, and her face immediately darkened. She turned around and grabbed the collar of a person who was accompanying her, and shouted loudly, "Damn it! How on earth did you, a turtle like you, take care of my lord?"
?”
The attendant also looked helpless, but he was also very surprised by the scene in front of him.
At this time, Zhang Song passed by the door and saw Zhao Wei lying in a pool of blood. He pretended to be surprised and said to Yan Yan: "Since this happened in the territory of Chu State, Chu State should be responsible. General Yan, we
We must question the King of Chu and ask them to give us an explanation!"
Yan Yan was furious, and when she heard Zhang Song's words, she gritted her teeth with hatred, quickly left Zhao Wei's room, mounted a fast horse, and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
In front of the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and Jian Yong were arranging the cart of Shu brocade that Zhao Wei had sent last night. They were all frightened when they suddenly saw Yan Yan galloping towards him with a fierce and fast horse.
"Call your King Chu to come out!" Yan Yan hissed in a low voice.
