Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 397 Agreement with Gao Shun
When Li Qing heard Wei Xu say this, he was so angry that his lips were trembling as he said, "Traitor!"

"Thank God that my foster father dotes on you and trusts you, and has entrusted so many troops to you."

"And you betrayed him."

"You will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

Wei Xu glanced at Li Qing disdainfully and ignored him.

Zhang Sui walked up to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun had a gloomy face.

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Gao Shun snorted and did not answer.

Zhang Sui said, "I have heard of General Gao's great name."

"I know General Gao is a good fighter. He will definitely not accept being captured alive like this today."

"Well, let's make a pact."

Gao Shun then asked coldly: "What's the agreement?"

Zhang Sui pointed to the military camp behind him and said, "I'll make the decision. You can take as many people away from this military camp as you can."

"Afterwards, you take these people back to the city."

"If you can help Lu Bu defend Xiapi City for half a year, I will let the army withdraw from Xuzhou this time."

"If you can't, you will surrender to me."

"Isn't that nice?"

"Although General Gao is loyal and capable of commanding troops, he is ultimately not used properly."

"Why not try me?"

Gao Shun looked at Zhang Sui suspiciously, and after a while he asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Sui also said honestly: "Zhang Sui is the son-in-law of Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and the commander of the army heading south this time."

Gao Shun's eyes narrowed slightly.

This little kid is actually Yuan Shao’s son-in-law!
Before, he thought he was just a captain under the command of Yuan Shao's son-in-law!

Gao Shun thought of the scene when he and his young lady were escaping from Ju County and dozens of his brothers from the Chen camp were brutally killed by him.

Yuan Shao's son-in-law is so brave!
Does this world really have to be ruled by the Yuan family?
Seeing that Gao Shun did not refuse, Zhang Sui ordered his men to release Gao Shun.

Wei Xu said anxiously: "General, Gao Shun is a man of unstoppable courage. It is not advisable to let the tiger go back to the mountains--"

Zhang Sui looked at Wei Xu and said with a smile: "If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility myself."

Wei Xu: “.”

Gao Shun was untied and looked at Zhang Sui with a complicated expression.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

There is not much time to feel sentimental.

What he had to do now was to try to get more soldiers for General Lu before the other party changed his mind.

In the future, we will join up with General Lu and break through the encirclement.

The other side said they wanted to break out of Xia Pi, so their next strategy was to surround Xia Pi City.

Gao Shun rushed back to the military camp.

Zhang Sui then took Wei Xu's tiger talisman and had Li Qing and others arrested and locked up in a tent in the camp.

Gao Shun obviously had a high reputation in the military camp.

As soon as he returned to the military camp, he informed all the soldiers that Wei Xu had rebelled and asked them to follow him back to Xia Pi City and be ready to kill the enemy at any time.

The soldiers in the entire camp looked at each other.

Zhang Sui took Wei Xu and others back to the military camp.

Many generals asked Wei Xu for confirmation.

Wei Xudu said it was true.

Zhang Sui, holding the tiger talisman that could capture Chen’s camp, announced his identity and said he would let the 10,000 elite troops stay or go.

Those who stay will continue to make great achievements in the future.

Those who leave are not stopped.

The ten thousand elite soldiers all had different expressions.

Zhang Sui limited the time for departure to half an hour. Only then did the 10,000 elite soldiers make their decision.

More than three thousand people chose to follow Gao Shun and leave.

The other less than 7,000 people chose to stay and reorganize.

Wei Xu and others were very puzzled by Zhang Sui's actions.

Seeing Gao Shun rushing back to Xia Pi City with more than 3,000 elite troops, Wei Xu and others were all reluctant to see him go.

As soon as Gao Shun left, Zhang Sui arranged for Zhao Yun to take over the 700-man army in Xianchen Camp.

Tian Yu, Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others took over the most important positions, and the army blocked the east exit of the city.

At the same time, Zhang Sui sent an envoy to urgently contact Tian Feng, asking Tian Feng's army to rush over and join forces to besiege Xia Pi.

Zhang Sui had just entered the commander's tent and was about to check the roster of Wei Xu's army when Guo Jia walked in and said, "At midnight, arrange for the assassins to untie the ropes of Li Qing and the others and let them go."

Zhang Sui asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Guo Jia said: "I have learned about Li Su's death. It was definitely Lu Bu's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, the troops he relied on most were all Ding Yuan's former generals."

"In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he must kill Li Su, the person who persuaded him to stab Ding Yuan in the back."

"These Bingzhou soldiers are all warriors with simple minds. If we kill the culprit, they won't have too many objections."

"Lü Bu may seem simple, but he actually has some strategies."

"He knew that if he wanted to conquer the world, he not only wanted the Bingzhou soldiers under his command to surrender, but also wanted to prevent outsiders from finding any evidence against him."

"So, he must adopt Li Su's son Li Qing as his adopted son so that the world can understand."

“Anyone who has done meritorious service for him will have a good ending if he follows him.”

"Even if he has to do something against his will, he will eventually turn to good and will not abandon his former lover."

"Li Qing must know this, too."

"Li Qing was loyal to Lu Bu before, but it was only because Lu Bu was so powerful that he could not seek revenge."

"Now that Lü Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu has surrendered with such a large army, Lü Bu will surely perish as he declines."

"Let Li Qing go back. Li Qing will definitely take revenge."

Zhang Sui looked at Guo Jia, clicked his tongue and said, "Feng Xiao, you really understand people's hearts."

"Okay, you go and arrange it."

As he said this, he handed Wei Xu's tiger talisman to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia looked at Wei Xu's tiger talisman, was stunned, and was deeply moved.

This Bo Cheng is really not on guard against me.

If he were like Wei Xu, handing over the tiger talisman might be the cost of his life!
But he did not hesitate.

Guo Jia took a deep breath, took the tiger talisman and left.

Zhang Sui thought of Zhang Liao and hurriedly said, "Bring the captured general to me. Don't let him go. Feng Xiao."

Guo Jia responded as he left.

After a while, Zhang Liao was brought in tied up by two bodyguards.

Zhang Liao stood in the commander's tent, looking at the young face of Zhang Sui kneeling in front of the desk with his head held high.

Zhang Sui stepped forward and untied Zhang Liao, saying with a smile: "Why are you so unconvinced? I was one of the two people who knocked you down just now!"

Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Sui suspiciously.

Zhang Sui untied the rope and kicked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's face turned cold, and he grabbed Zhang Sui with both hands, ready to throw him out.

In the shadow on the right side of the general's tent, a long sword was suddenly raised.

The next moment, there was a dull sound.

Zhang Liao, who grabbed Zhang Sui's arms and tried to throw him out, was pinned to the ground.

Zhang Sui twisted his hands tightly behind his back.

Zhang Sui pressed his right knee against Zhang Liao's back and said with a smile, "I told you I wouldn't believe you. You asked for it. I didn't torture you."

The long sword was slowly retracted.

Zhang Sui released his grip on Zhang Liao, stood up, walked back to the table, knelt down, and asked Zhang Liao, "What's your name, General?"
