Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 342 Death of Yuan Shang
Zhang Sui looked at Chunyu Qiong's expression and said with a smile, "General Chunyu, did you not expect it to be me?"

Chun Yuqiong regained some color and said embarrassedly, "I really didn't expect it."

"I thought you were hiding in the back."

“I didn’t expect that you could fight the enemy so bravely.”

"Today's defeat was not caused by the war, but by my underestimation of the enemy."

"I want to see my lord. I am willing to admit my mistakes."

Before Chunyu Qiong could finish his words, Zhang Sui swung the Qinggang sword in his hand.

Defeated twice.

He could attribute it all to underestimating the enemy!

In history, Chunyu Qiong was slaughtered by Cao Cao with only a small number of soldiers and horses.

However, some people in later generations whitewashed him, saying that he was not the kind of person who drank and messed up things like the one in Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Looking at Chunyu Qiong now, I can only say that this further proves his incompetence.

Chunyu Qiong obviously did not expect Zhang Sui to kill him.

Just about to scold.

He was chopped to the ground by Zhang Sui.

In the hall far away, all the civil and military officials gasped as they watched Chunyu Qiong being beheaded by Zhang Sui.

This lord's son-in-law is really ruthless!

Guo Tu and Xun Chen looked at each other and frowned.

Zhang Sui killed Chunyu Qiong and wiped the blood off his body with the Qinggang sword in his hand.

He did not kill Chunyu Qiong randomly.

Firstly, Chunyu Qiong was one of the first group of veteran generals to follow Yuan Shao.

Killing Chunyu Qiong could also intimidate the civil and military officials in Jizhou government.

Otherwise, they would always think that their son-in-law was just there to do nothing.

Secondly, Yuan Shao had long wanted to kill him.

The defeat in Xuzhou was caused by Chunyu Qiong, the main general, who only brought back 2,000 of the 20,000 elite troops.

It would have been fine if he had not learned his lesson, but this time he dared to start a rebellion and was the mastermind.

If I kill him myself, Yuan Shao will have nothing to say.

After Zhang Sui killed Chunyu Qiong, he prepared to let Huang Han reorganize the city defense troops and return to the city walls to guard, waiting for Yuan Shao to deal with them.

Soldiers are just soldiers after all, they follow orders.

Their guilt is actually the lightest.

It is impossible to implicate thousands of city defense soldiers.

Letting them go back to guard the place would actually calm their panic and allow them to continue working.

However, before Zhang Sui could finish his words, he saw a soldier from the city defense army suddenly rush out and start hacking at the unconscious Yuan Shang.

As he hacked Yuan Shang to death, the soldier said with a fierce smile: "You bitch!"

"You deserve death!"

"We are all harmed by you."

"We are all finished, and you can't live either!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the soldier doing this.

Zhang Sui was the first to react. He rushed forward and prepared to capture the soldier and keep him alive.

However, he was still a little slow to react.

When the soldier saw Zhang Sui coming, he slashed his neck with a knife.

Zhang Sui just rushed over.

Blood splattered all over Zhang Sui's face!
Zhang Sui looked down at the bodies of the soldiers lying at his feet, and he was completely dazed.

The next moment, he slapped himself hard.

Great!
Should be prepared in advance.

But I neglected to take precautions!
Zhao Yun walked up, watched the scene, patted Zhang Sui's shoulder gently, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, we didn't think of it."

Zhang Sui closed his eyes and ordered Huang Han to take the surrendered city defense soldiers to garrison the city.

After that, he withdrew the guards at the door of the meeting hall and let the military supervisor Ju Su handle the follow-up matters.

He doesn't have time to deal with Yuan Shang for the time being.

He took Zhao Yun and other guards and headed straight for the governor's mansion.

When we arrived, the battle was still going on, but it was almost over.

The former city defense commander Jiang Yiqu was retreating with several hundred people.

Surrounded by Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun and others.

This battle ended quickly.

Jiang Yiqu had his hands and feet cut off by the guards.

Zhang Sui asked Zhen Hao to take people to deal with the governor's mansion. He personally went into the mansion and met Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was basking in the sun in the backyard, and Liu was accompanying him. Liu's pretty face was obviously pale.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, was very calm. He knelt in front of the desk, drinking tea and flipping through the bamboo slips.

He was obviously in a good mood.

A maid had already come to report the battle situation outside.

The battle situation in the provincial capital was going so smoothly, so he was not worried about the government office.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming over, Yuan Shao smiled and said, "It looks like everything is going well."

Zhang Sui came in front of Yuan Shao with a complicated expression.

Yuan Shao's smile gradually disappeared, and he said with trembling lips: "Don't tell me that you killed Shang'er."

Zhang Sui took a deep breath and said, "Although I didn't kill the Third Young Master, it was my fault."

"After I kill Chun Yuqiong, I will bring the Third Young Master here."

"Who knew that a soldier would suddenly rush out and chop the unconscious Third Young Master to death."

"I wanted to capture him alive, but he was clearly prepared and committed suicide on the spot."

When Yuan Shao heard what Zhang Sui said, his eyes became a little dazed.

The next moment, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Liu screamed in fright.

Zhang Sui hurried forward to support Yuan Shao, lowered his head, but did not dare to speak.

He could only curse his bad luck.

Lack of experience allowed others to take advantage of loopholes.

admit!

Not to mention the Yangzhou Mu this time, I'm afraid he will be punished.

After Yuan Shao spit out blood, he placed his hands on the table and his body was staggering.

After a while, he calmed down a little and said in a hoarse voice: "Let Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xu You come over."

"immediately!"

"immediately!"

Zhang Sui ran away and rushed to the government office, asking Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xu You to come over.

Yuan Mi came over and comforted her softly, "Though it's a pity that my third brother died, it has nothing to do with my husband."

"I'll go find my father later—"

Zhang Sui held Yuan Mi's little hand and shook his head, "Don't go."

"My third brother was killed. No matter who did it, it happened right in front of me."

"My father-in-law is angry. If I go there at this time, he will only get angrier."

Yuan Mi hummed, her expression a little gloomy.

Zhang Sui commanded the guards at the government office to clean up the traces of the battle.

He asked Yuan Mi to go to bed early, even though he knew Yuan Mi couldn't get enough rest.

After doing all this, Zhang Sui returned to the governor's mansion.

Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xu You did not leave.

Zhang Sui did not dare to say much. He took the seal of Zhongshan County and stood outside Yuan Shao's door.

We can only retreat to advance.

Yuan Shang died this time. If he didn't suffer any loss, Yuan Shao probably wouldn't give up.

Zhang Sui deeply understood the meaning of the sentence "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

He was also wondering in his mind who had done it.

He didn't believe that the soldier killed Yuan Shang just because of Yuan Shang's failure.

The soldier reminded him of a class of people—

Killer.

That swift movement.

Also, he had the determination to kill himself first, knowing clearly that he would have to capture him alive.

He couldn't think of anyone else except the killer.

So who is this killer?
Just as Zhang Sui stood there until midnight, Yuan Shao's door was finally opened.

Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xun You and Xu You came out one after another.

When Xu You saw Zhang Sui again, he no longer looked superior.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how bravely this kid fought and how skillfully he killed Chunyu Qiong.

He was really afraid that this kid would do something stupid one day and kill himself!
As the five of them left, Yuan Shao's tired voice came from inside: "Bocheng, you should also go to rest early."

Zhang Sui was about to say, I was wrong, I will resign as the governor of Zhongshan County to atone my sins.

But before he could finish his words, Ju Shou winked at him and said silently, "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask you to resign. Go back and have a rest."

Zhang Sui then said, "Well, father-in-law, you take a rest!"
