Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 396 Gao Shun and Li Su's Son Li Qing

Chen Deng did not answer, but just looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui smiled and motioned for the old lady to come forward.

The old lady looked at Zhang Sui with some fear, and said to Wei Xu: "Son, this man is the son-in-law of the governor of Jizhou, and he wants you to submit to him."

Wei Xu's face suddenly changed and he looked at Zhang Sui in shock.

The son-in-law of Jizhou Mu?
The real commander of the army heading south?

Why are you here?

Zhang Sui took out the seal and faced Wei Xu.

Wei Xu looked at Zhang Sui's seal and his expression changed several times.

Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, is the most powerful prince today!
Moreover, Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, had been appointed as the general by the imperial court and was in charge of the four major provinces of Ji, Qing, You and Bing.

Now the army marched south to Xuzhou and defeated Zang Ba of Langya County with a crushing blow.

Now a large army has arrived in Xia Pi.

There are even rumors in recent days that Pei County and Pengcheng have been captured.

His brother-in-law Lu Bu also died in the battle.

Although the news has yet to be confirmed.

However, Jizhou Mu's son-in-law was able to appear here out of nowhere and took his family hostage.

Let’s look at Chen Deng, the young patriarch of the famous Chen family in Xuzhou.

Wei Xu asked Chen Deng, "Have Yuanlong's people safely evacuated Xiapi?"

Chen Deng smiled and nodded, "I am now the Lieutenant General of Xuzhou Army and one of General Zhang's military advisors."

"General Zhang will come with an army of 100,000 in the future, and he will have the support of the governor of Jizhou."

"General Wei, why are you still hesitating?"

"Don't you know what General Lu has been pursuing all his life?"

"But he was born in a humble family and could not win the support of the people after all."

"General Zhang has the support of Jizhou Mu. He is young and brave, and has a bright future."

"He also appointed talented people to positions of power."

"He will be the future master of our Xuzhou."

Wei Xu raised his head and glanced at the armored soldiers behind the overturned carriage, as well as his wife, son and daughter.

After a while, he looked at Zhang Sui and said, "General Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Sui said: "For the time being, he will be the governor of Pengcheng."

"I always reward people based on their merits, regardless of their status."

"In the future, we will conquer Jiangdong and Huainan. As long as General Wei is capable and has made meritorious contributions, everything will be easy."

"If you follow Lu Bu, you will only be able to defend Xuzhou for the rest of your life. You will never be able to surpass Lu Bu."

"What's more, you can't even defend Xuzhou."

Wei Xu lowered his head.

The old lady looked at Zhang Sui in horror again and said in a trembling voice, "Son!"

Wei Xu finally made up his mind and ignored the old lady. Instead, he looked at Zhang Sui and forced a smile, saying, "My sister, my niece, and the people in the city—"

Zhang Sui said: "I don't have the habit of massacring a city."

"This time I aim to lay siege to the city."

"If Lu Bu is willing to surrender immediately, I can let him live."

"If Lu Bu doesn't surrender, after the city is captured, I will only kill him and not implicate anyone else."

"This is true for the people in the city, and for his wives, concubines, and daughters."

Wei Xu took a few deep breaths, turned his head suddenly, and said to the dozens of figures standing not far behind him: "Tie up Gao Shun, Li Qing and others!"

Dozens of figures looked at each other.

However, they still acted immediately and left quickly.

Wei Xu looked at Zhang Sui and said, "Gao Shun is my brother-in-law's most loyal lackey."

"Although my brother-in-law gave me the tiger talisman for the Chen Camp, Gao Shun is not under my jurisdiction. He is even on an equal footing with me, but he does not have military power."

"If something unexpected happens, my brother-in-law will ask me to return the tiger talisman of Xianchen Camp to Gao Shun."

"My brother-in-law thinks highly of Gao Shun, but he is also very afraid of him."

"If we don't capture Gao Shun this time, I'm afraid he will cause trouble."

"Li Qing is the adopted son of my brother-in-law Lu Bu."

"His father, Li Su, is from the same hometown as my brother-in-law. He persuaded my brother-in-law to kill Ding Yuan in the past."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Li Su! He remembered reading in history books that Li Su was killed by Lu Bu.

Zhang Sui asked, "I remember hearing rumors that Li Su was killed by Lu Bu. What about Li Qing—"

Wei continued, "Yes, Li Su was indeed killed by my brother-in-law."

"But he had it all to himself."

"In the past, my brother-in-law killed Dong Zhuo and sent him to lead the army to fight against the counterattack of Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu. Not only did he fail, but he retreated step by step to Hongnong, delaying the military opportunity. My brother-in-law had no choice but to kill him to deter the soldiers."

"After all, he is from the same hometown as my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law had no choice but to kill him. However, the friendship between fellow townsmen cannot be ignored."

"Therefore, my brother-in-law adopted Li Su's son Li Qing as his adopted son and also served as the commander-in-chief in the army, commanding nearly a thousand people."

"He is also loyal to my brother-in-law."

Originally, Guo Jia was with Zhao Yun and others.

Seeing Wei Xu and Zhang Sui chatting, he knew that the matter had been settled, so he walked over.

After hearing what Wei Xu said, Guo Jia glanced at Wei Xu and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

How could Lu Bu be so kind?

After he left Yuan Shao, he also tried to learn about these things.

Lu Bu's killing of Li Su was not a delay in military affairs.

When Lu Bu sent Li Su to resist the army of Niu Fu, a general under Dong Zhuo, it was completely a borrowed knife to kill someone.

Li Su was the person who directly instigated Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan.

After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, most of the soldiers under his command were Ding Yuan's men.

These people still have some feelings for Ding Yuan.

Lu Bu killed Li Su simply to use Li Su's head to appease Ding Yuan's soldiers.

As for adopting Li Su's son Li Qing as his adopted son.

If there was really an intention to train him, how could it be possible that he would only be made a governor?

It's nothing more than winning people's hearts.

No one in the world is a fool.

Li Qing naturally knew this too.

This Li Qing can be used to some extent.

It just so happened that some of Lu Bu's troops were to be sent back to Xia Pi City to consume food and grass.

This Li Qing is someone who can be used.

After waiting for a long time, a crowd of dozens of figures finally arrived.

These dozen figures were tied up together.

Who else could be the leader if not Gao Shun?

Gao Shun was pushed forward, looking around with a ferocious face.

Although he still doesn't know exactly what happened.

However, his being kidnapped also meant that Wei Xu must have betrayed him.

I just don't know if the master behind the scenes is himself or someone else.

After all, it has been rumored these days that Lu Bu died in battle in Pei County.

Soon, he saw Wei Xu.

However, before he could get angry, he noticed another person——

Zhang Sui.

The little kid that the lady is talking about.

At this moment, he was wearing armor, standing with Wei Xu and Chen Deng, talking and laughing.

Gao Shun had difficulty breathing.

How could it be him?
Why is he here?

Thinking of his two previous meetings with Zhang Sui, Gao Shun swallowed.

What is his identity?
Gao Shun was followed by a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The young man was pushed forward, cursing.

He did not stop until he came in front of Wei Xu, Zhang Sui and Chen Deng, and angrily asked Wei Xu: "Wei Xu, what are you going to do?"

Wei Xu ignored Li Qing and pointed at Gao Shun, Li Qing and a dozen other people, and said to Zhang Sui, "That's them."

"Among the generals in the army, they are my brother-in-law's most loyal lackeys."

Pointing at Gao Shun and others, Wei Xu introduced them to Zhang Sui one by one.
