Wang Xiong raised his eyelids blankly, trying hard to sit upright with his slightly skewed body, but after struggling a few times, it became even more skewed, so he could only say vaguely: "Uh, uh, it's Fulong..."
"Sir Wang, I humbly take you back to your room."
"Uh... Shan... I've got to help you. I was drunk and rude today, and my etiquette was not good enough. I hope Haihan, Haihan."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
As Han Hu spoke, he helped Wang Xiong up, staggered through the crowd, and walked straight towards the palace.
As he walked, Wang Xiong danced and waved to everyone he saw with narrowed eyes, urging them to drink a few more drinks and get drunk.
He only ignored the Confucian general sitting at the top on his left.
Everyone saw that Wang Xiong, the protagonist of the banquet, was about to leave, and after returning the gift, their interest became even more enthusiastic.
The long-bearded Confucian general sitting at the top of the left hand stopped the cup in his hand, curled his mouth slightly, and looked through the gaps in the crowd, watching all this coldly.
At this time, a guest sitting next to him asked curiously: "Why did General Shang Yi stop drinking?"
Tian Yu shook his head and just sneered silently.
Although he and Wang Xiong were colleagues and shared the rule of Youzhou, they had no friendship with each other. Not only were they ruthless, they even had great hatred.
Wang Xiong was recommended by Meng Da, the prefect of Anding in Wei State (not the same person as Meng Da, the prefect of Xincheng), and was appreciated by Cao Pi, so he was appointed as the governor of Youzhou. Shortly after taking office, he almost had a fight with him due to political disagreements.
After the defeat of the Liaodong expedition, Wang Xiong put all the responsibility for the failure on him in the memorial, saying that he was too timid to fight and the navy retreated without firing an arrow. This caused Wang Xiong's army to fall into the dilemma of fighting alone.
, had to retreat.
In addition, Tian Yu also received news that Wang Xiong secretly sent someone to frame him for chaos, and used force to kill Hu, intensifying the contradiction between Xianbei and Han people.
His Majesty Cao Rui was very unhappy when he learned about this.
All these things really made Tian Yu very angry.
Tian Yu was a native of Yuyang, Youzhou. He was born in the reign of Liu Hong (171) and is already sixty-one years old this year. When he was young, he followed Liu Bei. Because his mother returned to her hometown in old age, he later followed Gongsun Zan. After Gongsun Zan was defeated, he persuaded Xian Yufu to join him.
Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao conquered Hebei, Tian Yu was officially appointed by Cao Cao and served successively as Yingyin, Langlingling, Yiyang prefect, etc.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Tian Yu guarded the northern border of Cao Wei all the year round. He conquered Wuhuan, the prefecture of Dai, cut off his bones, and defeated Ke Bi Neng many times. He relied on numerous meritorious deeds and thirty years of hard work to become the General of the Shangyi and the Marquis of Changle Pavilion.
, in charge of part of Youzhou’s military affairs.
His career can be said to have been an arduous climb up step by step.
On the opposite side, Wang Xiong became the governor of Youzhou, ranking above him just by being recommended by others.
This was already very irritating, and in addition, in order to remove his constraints and monopolize power, Wang Xiong secretly used some shady tricks to frame him for no reason.
How could Tian Yu not be so angry?
To be honest, Tian Yu sensed something was wrong when Han Hu first appeared in front of Wang Xiong last year.
He originally wanted to remind Wang Xiong, but it happened that at that time Wang Xiong was secretly using small tricks to compete with him for power. Tian Yu suppressed this thought.
To this day, Tian Yu can already conclude that Wang Xiong will die!
This is the perspective he learned from the heroes and heroines he followed in his long sixty-one years of life.
Liu Bei taught him that being virtuous is like hypocrisy, being low-key and tolerant; Gongsun Zan taught him that being strong is easy to break, and winning first but not being arrogant; Cao Cao taught him that being treacherous is like loyalty, and being loyal is like treachery.
Therefore, at this moment, he has the wisdom in his hand and can see through it without saying anything.
Just wait for the scene you expected to happen.
the other side.
Han Hu helped Wang Xiong into the back hall, put him on the bed, turned around, and sent the maids away, telling them that Mr. Wang needed to rest and not to be disturbed for an hour.
After the maids left together, Han Hu smiled, turned around and came to the unconscious Youzhou Governor Wang Xiong, leaned down and said softly:
"Master Wang, Master Wang?"
Just at this time, the banquet outside was reaching its climax, and the noise of the guests spread through several walls and entered the room, making it full of noise.
Wang Xiong seemed to hear Han Hu say something in his ear. The voice was too loud and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he turned sideways and raised his ears in confusion, gesturing for him to say it again.
Han Hu possessed him again and said word by word: "I'm sorry, I'm an undercover!"
This time Wang Xiong heard clearly.
But the anesthesia of alcohol prevented him from making corresponding expressions in time. After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide and his body froze.
The violent reaction was not because of the impact those words had on him, but because he felt his chest hurt, then heat up, and streams of heat spurted out.
A sharp knife pierced his chest.
Wang Xiong opened his mouth wide, trying to call for help. A pair of big hands grabbed his neck, making him unable to make any sound.
After a while, everything calmed down.
Han Hu left the dagger in Wang Xiong's chest, slowly straightened up, and carefully admired his masterpiece, with a strange and evil smile on his face.
After a while, Wang Xiong's body was laid flat, pretending to be sleeping peacefully, he pulled up the quilt and covered it, his big hand gently brushed the latter's face, and closed his wide-eyed eyes.
After doing all this, Han Hu straightened his clothes, Shi Shiran walked out of the inner room and disappeared into the crowd.
The scorching sun was high outside, but the atmosphere of the banquet was still so strong. The guests exchanged glasses and it was very lively.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
A scream suddenly came from the inner room, attracting everyone's attention.
The first ones to discover Wang Xiong's assassination were two maids. They followed the instructions and came to check after an hour. As soon as they entered the room, they smelled the strong smell of blood, and then saw Wang Xiong's hand hanging on the bed, slowly.
Slowly drip blood.
There was a pool of bright red on the ground.
They collapsed on the ground and screamed hysterically.
Everyone heard the sound and came over, pupae entered, and then stared at Wang Xiong's body, stunned.
Everything inside and outside the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this time, Tian Yu suddenly came to his senses, raised his arms and shouted: "Come here, come here, catch the assassin!"
Once Wang Xiong died, he became the highest official here.
This order should be issued by him.
The guards came to their senses one after another, raised their weapons, looked around, and then quickly froze on the spot again.
The guard captain asked weakly: "Master Tian, who is the assassin?"
Tian Yu nodded calmly, turned around, looked around at everyone, and then asked the two maids coldly: "Who sent Mr. Wang back?!"
The two maids knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing, and stammered their descriptions for a long time. Only then did everyone understand that it was Wang Xiong's new love... his close confidant Han Hu who sent him back.
The soldiers shouted and rushed out to catch Han Hu.
Everyone who learned the truth took a deep breath, except Tian Yu.
The news of Wang Xiong's assassination seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout the Wei Kingdom.
This incident shocked the Wei monarchs and the public. Emperor Cao Rui was furious and ordered Tian Yu to temporarily serve as the governor of Youzhou to arrest the murderer.
Although all civil and military officials thought this was worthy of sympathy, most people were indifferent to Wang Xiong's death.
They are either the children of aristocratic families, who have established themselves in the court and are in high positions by virtue of their family background; or they are from poor backgrounds and have spent decades step by step from the bottom to reach their current official positions. Like Wang Xiong, who came from a humble background and rose from the top in less than ten years. Everyone dislikes high-ranking officials who rise from the bottom.
This is also a common prejudice among people in this era against children from poor families (Wang Xiong was born into the Langya Wang family, which was just an ordinary small family during the Three Kingdoms period, far from being as prosperous as the "king and horse, sharing the world" during the Eastern Jin Dynasty).
Tian Yu, the governor of Youzhou in charge of the investigation, quickly caught the culprit Han Hu and asked him a shocking secret before he committed suicide:
Kirby is alive!
The head that caused Wang Xiong to hold a celebration banquet was just a fake head.
After hearing the news, Cao Rui was very sad and furious. He even ordered Tian Yu to prepare to attack Xianbei to give Kirby some color.
At the same time, Cao Rui posthumously awarded Wang Xiong the posthumous title "Lihou" in recognition of his achievements during his lifetime.
At this point, the situation in the northern border of Wei suddenly became tense.
