Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 446 Yuan Tan's Despair

Seeing Zhang Sui was stunned, Yuan Tan laughed bitterly and said, "Isn't that right? Brother-in-law, if you were to encounter this, would you be in trouble?"

"Fight all the way."

"From the soldiers who were killed."

"Go to Puyang City and resist."

"To the broken city."

"As usual!"

"And those people."

"Tens of thousands of people!"

"Thousands of dead soldiers."

“They’re all playing me!”

"Besides, they all died together in order to kill me!"

"When I fought my way out of the city, all the people turned into fire men, and the air was filled with the smell of burning meat."

"Now, I gag when I smell barbecue!"

Zhang Sui finally came back to his senses and said with a complicated expression: "This plan does seem to be one that Jia Xu came up with."

"This person has always used all means to win."

"To him, the tens of thousands of civilians and the thousands of assassins in the city were not human beings, but pure tools."

"Tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of soldiers died, but in return, nearly 50,000 of your soldiers were annihilated. For Jia Xu, this is already a great victory."

Yuan Tan held his head with both hands, wishing he could bang his head against it and die. His voice was trembling as he said, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have lived in the city."

"Or maybe, if I had asked people to pay close attention to the people's reactions, I could have avoided this disaster."

This time, Zhang Sui actually felt some sympathy for Yuan Tan.

If Jia Xu was not in the army of Cao Cao that Yuan Tan was dealing with this time, this strategy would not have been implemented.

To exchange the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of soldiers for a victory, only someone like Jia Xu could do such a thing.

To celebrate this victory, the entire Puyang city was dressed in mourning.

This is also amazing.

If I run into Jia Xu——

Zhang Sui was feeling somewhat doubtful.

If there is any chance, such people should not stay!
so horrible!

The goal justifies the means.

No wonder in history, when Cao Pi became emperor, he appointed Jia Xu as the Grand Marshal, and even Sun Quan laughed at Cao Pi.

Zhang Sui patted Yuan Tan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this is really not your fault."

"Who could have thought that Jia Xu, a man with such a ruthless conscience, would go to such lengths to destroy humanity for the sake of victory?"

Yuan Tan said with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, my father will probably kill me when I go back this time. What should I do?"

Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, brother."

"Although my father-in-law sometimes does things that are outrageous, he treats his sons very well."

"Before, my third brother rebelled and led the city defense army to kill him, but my father-in-law never thought of killing my third brother. Instead, he asked me to promise him that he would spare his life."

"The third brother was killed in the end. It was definitely not my father-in-law who did it."

"Mr. Tian, ​​the deputy driver, told me that it could be Gao Gan, my second brother, or Cao Cao."

Yuan Tan asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Zhang Sui raised his hand and said, "If you, my brother, are to be executed by my father-in-law, I will die with you."

Yuan Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Yuan Tan continued, "Brother-in-law, even if my father doesn't kill me, he won't give me the possibility of becoming the crown prince after I lost so many soldiers in this battle."

"I'm going to find a way to get back to Qingzhou and start an uprising!"

Holding Zhang Sui's shoulders with both hands, Yuan Tan said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, help me!"

"As long as I can return to Qingzhou, I still have more than 10,000 troops in Qingzhou."

"If you can draw tens of thousands of troops from Xuzhou to me, we can march north together and seize Hebei!"

Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Tan's ferocious expression and said with a sad face, "Brother, do you know why you met me here?"

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment and shook his head blankly.

Zhang Sui hung his head and said, "I lost too many men to capture Xuzhou, and I only have a thousand men left."

"My father-in-law wants to take this opportunity to punish me."

"He said that it was my fault that Guo Yuan led 3,000 cavalrymen to be besieged by Cao Cao." "He said that it was also my fault that you killed Guo Tu and Xu You, brother."

"He asked me to take all the troops in Xuzhou back to Yecheng and wait for punishment!"

"I was brought back by General Yan Liang!"

"It's just that General Yan Liang and I have some friendship, so he didn't tie me up."

Yuan Tan said angrily: "What does this have to do with you? Guo Yuan was surrounded and suppressed, what does it have to do with you?"

"As for the murder of Guo Tu and Xu You, this is also my problem."

Zhang Sui said with a sad look: "I also want to ask this question. But the problem is, how can my father-in-law listen to my explanation?"

"Brother, if I can protect you, I don't need you to say anything."

"For now, all we can do is wait and see what happens."

When Yuan Tan heard what Zhang Sui said, he suddenly despaired.

He kept hope along the way because he believed he had a backup plan: Zhang Sui, who had just captured Xuzhou.

But I didn't expect that this brother-in-law is so useless.

Even after taking Xuzhou, he didn't have many soldiers and horses, so he was controlled by his own father!

Looking at Zhang Sui again, Yuan Tan gradually lost interest.

It seems that I have to rely on myself in the end.

Rely on the mountain and the mountain will collapse.

Lean against the wall and the wall will fall.

Yuan Tan exhaled and said to Zhang Sui, "Okay, I understand."

"Come inside!"

After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Sui to answer, he turned around and went into the house.

Zhang Sui watched Yuan Tan's back disappear into the house and spat on the ground.

What the hell is this?

Be enthusiastic when needed.

No need, change your face immediately.

I want to see what you're going to do!

Zhang Sui followed him into the house and found Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yan Liang pursed his lips towards Zhang Sui and whispered, "What does the eldest master want to see you for?"

Wen Chou also looked at Zhang Sui suspiciously.

Zhang Sui spread his hands and said, "Nothing, he just asked me to help him."

"I'm in this state now, how can I help?"

"I said I couldn't help, and he came in."

Yan Liang was quite pleased with Zhang Sui's response and said, "Yes, you should stay out of the Young Master's business."

"Although you have done something wrong this time, your merits are greater."

"My lord will use you greatly."

"At this time, please keep yourself clean."

Pointing at Wen Chou, Yan Liang said with a smile: "Brother Wen and I will still speak up for you."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yan Liang asked people to prepare meals and rest on the plain for a night before setting off again tomorrow.

After dinner, Zhang Sui played Landlord with Yan Liang and Wen Chou for an hour, and then Zhang Sui returned to his room.

Lu Wen was making the bed for him.

Seeing Zhang Suicai coming back, Lu Wen asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Zhang Sui glanced at Lv Wen and said jokingly, "Care about me, madam?"

Since arriving at Ruxu Port, Lu Wen has been followed by Zhang Sui's personal guard.

Or maybe I'm used to hearing it every day, so Lu Wen's rather rough voice is not that hard to accept anymore!
When Lu Wen heard Zhang Sui call her that, a trace of anger flashed across her pretty face.

However, she was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Sui and turned around to leave.

Zhang Sui grabbed her wrist.

Lu Wen turned around, frowned and looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
