Volume 10 Chapter 153

Shao Yu said calmly: "If the two countries go to war, we will not kill the envoys. Shao Jun and Cai Gui are both envoys of the Feng Kingdom. There is nothing wrong with me entertaining them. Read the full text."

Han Zhong sneered and said: "Master Shao, what you say is really better than what you sing. I think you are deliberately colluding with the enemy country and planning something evil!"

Shao Yu shrugged and said, "There is nothing wrong with Yu Jia's crime. If Mr. Han wants to wrongly accuse me, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Whether I have wronged you or not, you know it in your heart!" Han Zhong leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Shao, you and I are ministers of the same palace. I don't want to see you go to a dead end. I will take advantage of the opportunity now." , you should capture the two thieves Shao Jun and Cai Gui immediately, and I can intercede with the king on your behalf. If not, it will be too late!"

"Haha!" Shao Yu chuckled first, and then laughed again.

Han Zhong and Yuan Tian looked at each other, and the former asked: "Why is Mr. Shao laughing?"

"I'm laughing at Mr. Han." Shao Yu stopped laughing and said leisurely: "I, Shao Yu, have been an official for decades. Do I still need you to remind me of my work?" Although he is only in his thirties, he does become an official quickly. Thirty years.

Han Zhong nodded and said: "It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words! Since Mr. Shao is stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!" As he spoke, he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

Snapped!

The wine glass smashed to pieces on the ground. Almost at the same time, there was a loud noise outside, and there was only the sound of people shouting and horses neighing, and the sound of tinkling gold.

Shao Yu subconsciously raised his head and looked outside, but the door blocked him and he couldn't see anything clearly. He squinted his eyes and asked in a serious voice: "Master Han, what's going on?"

Han Zhong sneered and said, "Shao Yu, you will know what's going on soon!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound in his ears, and the door of the hall was violently knocked open by someone outside. At the same time, a person fell in from outside.

This man was covered in spiritual armor, but his whole body was covered with arrows, and blood flowed down the spiritual armor to the ground. The man climbed up from the ground with difficulty, stumbled two steps forward, and shouted: "Sir, there is an ambush outside..."

Before he finished speaking, another person came in from the outside. This person was still wearing spiritual armor and holding a bright spiritual knife in his hand. He was as fast as a Jaguar and rushed to the injured Xiu Ling in an instant. Behind the practitioner's back, the hand raised the knife and dropped it, with a click, and as the cold light flashed, the head of the injured spiritual cultivator fell to the ground with a sound.

flutter! Scarlet blood spurted out more than three feet high from the broken neck of the corpse, which also caused exclamations and screams in the hall.

The spiritual cultivator who came in later picked up the severed head and strode up to Shao Yu. The people around him were still waiting to realize what was going on. The man was already kneeling on one knee, clasped his hands and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "I salute you in this humble position, let me." Your Excellency is frightened!"

Shao Yu's expression had long since returned to normal. He smiled and nodded slightly. Without saying anything, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank slowly.

It was only then that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian realized that the spiritual cultivators who came in later turned out to be Shao Yu's subordinates. It turned out that Shao Yu had been prepared for it, and it turned out that they had been ambushed by others! Han Zhong stood up, pointed his finger at Shao Yu, and shouted: "Shao Yu, how dare you..."

Wow - the spiritual cultivators and swordsmen and axemen swarming out from behind the screen interrupted him. Hundreds of swordsmen and axemen quickly rushed around Han Zhong and Yuan Tian, ​​surrounding them. The spirits gathered around Shao Yu and protected him tightly.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze instantly. No one spoke, and there was no sound. Invisible pressure slowly condensed in the hall, squeezing people to the point where they could hardly breathe. It was naturally emitted by spiritual practitioners. The spiritual pressure coming out.

The chaos outside the hall continued, with the sound of arrows flying one after another, the sound of swords clashing one after another, the screams of pain from the injured and the wailing before death.

Shao Yu put down his cup, poured himself a drink, and said slowly: "Master Han, as I said just now, I, Shao Yu, have been an official for decades, why do I need you to teach me how to do things?!" As he spoke, he stood up. , walked towards Han Zhong and Yuan Tian, ​​and the swordsmen and axemen surrounding them stepped aside to make way for a passage. Shao Yu stood still among the crowd and continued: "My path has always been chosen by myself. I never need others to help me choose."

"Shao Yu, it turns out that you have already planned to rebel!" Han Zhong screamed strangely, pulled out his sword, and charged towards Shao Yu with a roar.

Before he could rush to Shao Yu, an axe-wielder nearby with a sharp hand swung an ax and slapped Han Zhong on the face. Because Shao Yu hadn't ordered him to be killed yet, the axe-hand was merciful and used the ax blade to hit him instead of cutting with the ax blade. Even so, Han Zhong couldn't bear it. With a crisp sound, the ax hit his face firmly. Han Zhong screamed and fell to the ground as he rushed forward, with his official hat flying out. So far away, lying on the ground, covering his face with his hands, blood gurgling from the gaps between his fingers.

"Humph!" Shao Yu chuckled, not even looking at Han Zhong who fell to the ground, and turned to look at Yuan Tian. Han Zhong was a scholar and didn't know a single bit of spiritual martial arts, while Yuan Tian was a military general, and although his spiritual martial arts wasn't very powerful, it wasn't far behind.

At this time, he sighed secretly in his heart. He thought that tonight would be a good opportunity to capture Shao Yu, but he didn't expect that his intention was discovered by him and an ambush was arranged in advance. Maybe this was God's will!

"Master Yuan, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Tonight, you and Master Han are both paralyzed and unable to fly. Instead of being Shao Fang's scapegoat, why not follow me and join His Highness Feng Wang, so that you can still enjoy high official positions, wealth and honor in the future. "Shao Yu sincerely advised.

He looked down upon Han Zhong, but he knew that Yuan Tian was a great individual. If he could win over him and join Feng Guo, he would be considered to have made another contribution.

Yuan Tian grinned. He sat on the mat without moving. He picked up the wine glass and drank the drink in one gulp. After drinking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, then stood up slowly, shook his head while holding the sword at his waist and said, "Master Shao can conquer Feng Kingdom, but I can't."

As Yuan Tian drew out his sword, the spiritual cultivators around Shao Yu pulled him back one after another as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Shao Yu waved his hands to everyone, indicating that they didn't need to be nervous. Then, he frowned and asked, "Why did Lord Yuan say that?"

"Master Shao has no worries, but I do." Yuan Tian looked down at the sword in his hand and said quietly: "Master Shao can not have a sincere heart, but I can't."

His voice was low, but Shao Yu could hear the toughness of Yuan Tian's attitude. In addition, he could also understand what Yuan Tian said about worries. His family are all in Xishan County. If he surrenders, his whole family will surrender. But Yuan Tian is different. His family is all in Zhenjiang. If he surrenders, his whole family will suffer.

"Alas!" Shao Yu sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that the days of you and me being ministers in the same palace can only end here!"

Yuan Tian smiled, flipped his wrist, lifted the sword upside down, and put it on his neck. He looked directly at Shao Yu and said meaningfully: "Master Shao, let me remind you one last thing, Tang Yin is by no means an open-minded person. , If you take refuge in him today, you will suffer harm in the future!" After saying this, he touched his arm with force, and there was a sound of pounce, and the sword blade ruthlessly tore his throat open, blood flowed three feet, and he fell to the ground.

Looking at Yuan Tian's self-inflicted body, Shao Yu couldn't describe how he felt. He felt unbearable and ashamed. In addition, Yuan Tian's last words also cast a shadow in his heart.

"Sir, this thief spoke rudely and cursed you before he died. How can we keep his body intact?" The spiritual cultivators around Shao Yu roared angrily, preparing to go up and cut Yuan Tian into pieces.

Shao Yu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, although Yuan Tian wants to harm me, he is still a man of iron bones."

"Yes! Sir! Then... where is Han Zhong?"

Shao Yu lowered his head to look at Han Zhong, who was still unable to get up from the ground, sneered, and said coldly and expressionlessly: "Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an axe-hand rushed forward impatiently and struck Han Zhong on the neck with an axe.

Han Zhong and Yuan Tian originally planned to take advantage of the banquet to capture Shao Yu, but instead they both died tragically at the banquet. Along with them, none of the spiritual cultivators who came with them ran away or were killed by Shao Yu. Yu's men were captured or killed, and the thousands of soldiers who were ambushing near the General's Mansion were no better. They didn't even have a chance to attack the General's Mansion, so they were surrounded by several times the number of enemies. In the end We can only surrender helplessly.

This conspiracy to capture Shao Yu ended in failure. Although Shao Fang and Han Zhong were at fault, there was no denying the brilliance of Cai Gui's strategy.

His brilliance lies not in the mystery of his strategy, but in his understanding of people's hearts.

He saw through Shao Yu's thoughts of leaving a way out for him, so he dared to follow Shao Jun to Fengyang openly. He observed many ministers in the court of Mo State, so he could accurately find the breakthrough point of Grand Tutor Zhang Rong, and he calculated that Shao Fang was right. He made full use of the various conflicts between him and Shao Yu, and successfully caused the two to break up when they should least have broken up. They rebelled against Shao Yu and helped Feng's army to take over the entire Xishan County without bloodshed.

Military generals rely on war to become famous, but Cai Gui, a civil servant who neither knows martial arts nor leads troops to fight, became famous by outsmarting Xishan County.

Even after the incident, Tang Yin praised Cai Gui highly, saying that one person is worth a million soldiers.

Feng Jun, who had been pretending to continue moving south, immediately turned around and returned to Xishan County after hearing the news that Shao Yu had led all the officers and soldiers in the county to defect.

This is the second time that the Feng Army has entered Xishan County. Feng Jun entered Xishan County twice with great ambitions, but the first time ended in failure. This time, Feng Jun came as a surrender.

As soon as Tang Yin led his army to Xishan Pass, he saw the dark Mo army standing in front of him. Mo Jun did not fly a flag, had no weapons in his hands, and did not wear a helmet on his head. The leader, with his body tied up and kneeling on the ground, looked exactly like a guilty minister carrying a thorn to plead guilty.
