After the masked man successfully assassinated Zhu Xiong, he quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Only his clothes were left behind. His every move was well-trained.
The next day, the remnants of the army that had lost their commander could only return in defeat. Along the way with Zhu Xi's corpse, there was only sorrow. On the other side, Lin Chu was still marching, as if he did not know anything.
"Report! Advisor Jun, Lord Zhu…he has already passed away!”The scout reported to Lin Chu. As she spoke, tears flowed down her face. It wasn't too much for them to call Zhu Rong their father, right?
"What?!" Everyone present slammed the table and stood up on impulse. Except for Lin Chu. Perhaps Lin Chu was born with no talent for acting, but he looked normal like this. Everyone knew what kind of person he was.
"What happened? Was he ambushed by a thief?" Xu Huang was extremely excited. After all, for a righteous person like Xu Huang, Zhu Rong was the benchmark of life.
"According to the remnants, the evil people's clothes were old and tattered, and they all wore yellow scarves. It was most likely the Yellow Turban bandits!”the scout said excitedly. "How is that possible? Shouldn't their whereabouts be sealed? How did the Yellow Turban Army know?!" Xu Huang still couldn't suppress the doubts and hesitation in his heart.
" Here…" Xu Huang clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds. Perhaps he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only do this. He stared at Lin Chu, but he couldn't see through anything. It was as if everything was blocked by Lin Chu's right hand.
"Lord Zhu? Lord Zhu passed away?" After Jing Wei heard this, he was shocked beyond words. "Will there be a loophole in Lin Chu's scheme?”This was Jing Wei's first reaction. It was like a joke.
After Jing Wei felt sad, he immediately thought of two sentences,"Some things should be taken care of, and some things are better left alone."”、"Do you recognize Yang Xiu? Do you know about Yang Xiu's death?”
At that moment, Jing Wei was helpless…
"Oh! Zhu Xiong is dead?" When the Yellow Turban higher-ups heard the news, they all cheered. However, his excitement could not wash away his doubts. "Did anyone here send someone to assassinate Zhu Rong?”Wu Yong asked first.
"Military Advisor Wu, you must be joking. It was reported that Zhu Wei did not die in the city, and his whereabouts were unknown to others. How do we assassinate them?" Zhang Yan replied. Wu Yong naturally understood, but he still felt that things were strange.
"Ahehehe, who else will benefit? Obviously, who among those who could replace Zhu Rong didn't desire power? Don't you think so, Master Zhang?" Han Ci said with a playful expression, even intentionally teasing Sun En.
However, Sun En seemed to have been completely reduced to trash. He said,"General Han, you are right." Although he still spoke with the air of a leader, in Wu Yong's eyes, Sun En was just short of bowing and calling himself a slave. Wu Yong couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, I can. There are only two people in Hanoi." Han Ci continued with a playful look. It made people feel that this war had nothing to do with it.
"Liu Han, Governor of Nanyang, and Lin Chu, Advisor to Zhu Wei. However, losing Zhu Rong meant losing his backbone. Either the perpetrator is short-sighted, or the other party is already confident that they can use this situation to defeat us and accumulate battle achievements.”In contrast, Wu Yong was especially serious as he analyzed the current situation bit by bit.
" But…" Wu Yong wanted to continue analyzing. "However, our strength on the surface is not that great. However, the actual hidden strength. It's already far beyond imagination."
At the same time Han Ci spoke, Sun En acted like a slave. Wu Yong couldn't help but frown even more. Sun En, who had entered Wancheng alone in the past, or rather, Sun En, who had dared to raise an army to resist the might of power in history, was already dead. He left behind this timid servant.
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he faked his death. He still had to give it a try. Tomorrow, he would send back half of the captives. He said that he would release the other half of the captives after delivering Zhu Xiong's head.”Wu Yong gently waved his feather fan, as if he was planning something.
Life passed quickly in such a chaotic world. People only thought about the value and benefits of living and dying. In an era where human lives were disregarded, no one cared if you died tragically or magnificently.
"Child, don't cry. We'll be able to reach a safe place soon. There will be many government troops there. When the child grows up, you have to join the army to avenge your father!”In the army, a woman was comforting a baby in swaddling clothes. Her eyes were filled with joy after seeing the light after despair. She was full of love for the child. Perhaps at this moment, she was grateful that Zhu Xiong truly treated them as humans.
However, in the next moment, the government troops led by Zhao Li charged out from both sides. Do you know the scorching sun in summer? It was so heartlessly roasting. The shining ball was like the eyes of the heavens, staring straight at the tragedy. Zhao Li led his army over, completely ignoring the innocent civilians and killing anyone he saw.
The blood made the sun in the sky hotter. After a round of killing, the incompetent Yellow Turban soldiers, or rather, the people who had been persecuted, were covered in corpses without even having the strength to fight back. The soldiers were stained with blood. Justice? Evil? It was really hard to tell at this time. When he was cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Li caught a glimpse of the woman's eyes. Currently, there was only despair and resentment…
This time, Lin Chu didn't hide it from the others and gave the order openly. "Advisor Jun, I'm sorry but I can't do as you say. Lord Zhu's corpse was not even cold, and now he was going in the opposite direction. Isn't that too disappointing?" It was within his expectations that Xu Huang would be the one making trouble.
"Gongming, if you can't bear it. I naturally won't force you, but I hope you understand. I didn't want more people to die like Lord Zhu, so I made this painful decision. Then, is there anyone who disagrees?" Lin Chu asked after he finished explaining.
There was silence. No one agreed or objected. In that case, this situation could only be regarded as everyone's tacit agreement. Unknowingly, Lin Chu had already gained a high status in Zhu Rong tribe. Jing Wei was naturally present, but he chose to remain silent.
Even someone like Xu Huang would not do anything stupid because of Cao Cao's massacre. Moreover, Xu Huang himself had once massacred a city.
"It seems that Zhu Xiong is indeed dead. If that was the case, the scouts would be recalled. The remaining captives would be useless. They would be killed.”After Wu Yong learned that the troops and captives had all been wiped out, he came to a conclusion. While playing chess, he said casually.
It was truly a disregard for human life. With just a few words, thousands of innocent people became sacrifices.
After a day of exposure to the sun, it rained heavily again. Wu Yong stepped out of the tent and looked at the sky."It looks like the rain won't last long.”
"Report! Within Hanoi City, they had moved their rations to the higher ground.”The scout reported. "Afraid of the tide? Was he going to fight a protracted war? Indeed, our rations can't afford to be depleted.”Wu Yong seemed to be talking to himself.
"Heavenly Master Zhang, Zhu Rong is dead now. There is no need to use any tricks. Our army is short of food. We can only attack forcefully!" Wu Yong braved the rain and walked into Sun En's tent. It was just like the Ying Country's constitution. It was just that Han Ci was always following Sun En. However, it was a little confusing who was with whom.
"General Han is right." Sun En's answer even skipped Wu Yong. "Ahehehe, then Military Advisor Wu, you don't have any objections, right?”At this moment, Han Ci and Wu Yong could be said to be at odds.
Wu Yong only smiled slightly and waved his feather fan lightly.""Naturally, I have no objections."
"Then, please come with me, Military Advisor Wu. We will definitely succeed." Han Ci said to Sun En. Wu Yong naturally understood the meaning behind this. Han Ci was trying to tie himself together with him. Only in this way would Wu Yong truly think for himself.
"Of course, no problem!" Sun En replied without hesitation. At this moment, Sun En was getting more and more lethargic, as if he had not rested for many days. She was also so thin that she did not have the divine color of the past. At this moment, Wu Yong looked at Sun En's appearance and gently waved his feather fan. He seemed to be thinking about something.
The heavy rain continued to pour down. Everyone in Hanoi was enjoying the last bit of peace. Everyone knew that the city would soon be covered in black clouds and blood would flow like rivers.
