Chapter 228 (1/2)
After some greetings, Yang Ren took Chen Ren and other Dongwu troops into Hanzhong City, marking that Sun Jian's power had really extended to the southwest. This news is not good news for any of the princes in the world.
At this time, in Chang'an City, the Xiliang army, who had just returned to Chang'an City, brought back a very bad news: Lv Bu, who was regarded as the God of war by the generals and men under Dong min's tent, died under Chen Ren's command in Jiangdong during the expedition!
Throughout Chang'an City, the atmosphere began to be unprecedentedly tense, even more depressing than when Dong Zhuo died a few years ago. There were no passers-by on the street, but only a group of murderous patrol soldiers moving back and forth in Chang'an city.
In a large house to the south of Chang'an City, it is the Wenhou house of the dead Wenhou Lvbu, but it is not better than that of a dead man. The Wenhou house, which was originally lively and lively, is now cold and quiet.
In the hall of Wenhou mansion, there were many people unexpectedly. These generals in white armor were not others. They were the direct subordinates of Lv Bu, Gao Shun, the remaining six Eight Generals headed by Zhang Liao, and some generals of Bingzhou army.
”Hum!” Hou Chengyi patted the table in front of him and said, ”He Dong min, Li Ru and even Li Min and Guo si all came back safely. How could Wen Hou be killed? There must be something else about it! ”
Song Xian also said with a gloomy face: ”what Hou Cheng said is good! Wen Hou is very kind to us! If it was not for Wen Hou, we would not have known how many times we had died! This time, Wen Hou went out with the Xiliang army. I tried to persuade him, but he believed in Li Ru, but now he is dead. ”
”Li ru?” Cao's nature was surmised and groaned: ”this Li Ru has been hiding behind all year round. His mind is more vicious than those of us who fight and kill! Wen Hou's death may have been caused by Li Ru! ”
”All right Zhang Liao waved his hand, frowned and stopped these generals from arguing. He turned to Gao Shun and asked, ”General Gao! Now Wenhou is dead, and the brothers in Bingzhou have no support. What do you think we should do? ” Although Zhang Liao is well-known among the eight strong generals, in terms of prestige, in the Bingzhou army, excluding Lv Bu, who is already dead, Gao Shun is the biggest.
Gao Shun was also gloomy. Although he believed that Dong min would never kill Lv Bu, now Lv Bu is dead. Over the years, the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army have always been incompatible. Now, the Bingzhou army is seriously damaged in Hangu pass. Without Lv Bu's support, it is very difficult for the Bingzhou army to survive under Dong min's account.
Gao Shun looked up at all the Bingzhou generals in the hall and said solemnly, ”we must find out the death of Wenhou, but this is not something we can do for a while. In this period of time, I also want you to restrain your brothers and try not to cause trouble, so as not to be caught wrong by those dogleg men of the Xiliang army! Now, after all, the Marquis Wen is no longer here. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the prime minister to treat us fairly again. ”
Although Gao Shun's words made these rebellious Bingzhou generals unconvinced, they also knew that Gao Shun was telling the truth, and they all kept silent, which could be regarded as an agreement to Gao Shun's proposal. Gao Shun turned to Zhang Liao and said, ”General Zhang! I heard that you had friendship with some generals in the Xiliang army. Can you tell the story of the death of marquis Wen from their mouths? ”
Zhang Liao nodded, patted his chest and said: ”General Gao, don't worry, this matter is wrapped in the end of the general.”
Gao Shun also nodded, and suddenly his face showed a trace of ferocity. He said: ”you are all brothers of Bingzhou and subordinates of Wenhou. If Wenhou is really killed by those Xiliang people, we will never give up!”
