I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 128
When he was about to kill Cheng Yu, one of the guards around him drew his sword and started to fight Zhang Yi. This man was very skilled in martial arts, he danced the sword with great vigor, and the aura of the sword was extremely domineering. Zhang Yi was defeated in an instant.

This person is obviously a brave general under Cao Cao's command.

Zhang Yi also became ruthless and risked his life, intending to hold this person back. In this way, he suffered multiple wounds on his body, and his armor was soaked in blood.

Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to slip away, Zhang Yi's eyes were tearing apart, and he was extremely anxious.If you really let this person escape, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you will not be able to redeem yourself in a hundred deaths.

Then he howled vigorously: "Brothers, kill Cheng Yu with a reward of [-] taels! Kill!"

Hearing the sound, the men in black under his command saw Cheng Yu who was running away, and they all rushed towards him. Dozens of crossbowmen ambushed in the distance aimed their arrows at him.

After all, Zhang Yi had a large number of people under his command, and it was a sudden attack. Cheng Yu's guards were completely unprepared, and they were killed so that they had no power to fight back.Although a guard with strong martial arts skills entangled Zhang Yi, it also indicated that there was no strong man to protect his safety.

"咻...咻...咻..." A crossbow arrow headed straight for Cheng Yu with the sound of sharp gold. At this time, the big man who was fighting with Zhang Yi also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly retreated and jumped to try Block the rain of arrows with your body.

"Puff...Puff...Puff..." A crossbow arrow ruthlessly pierced into the big man's body. Under the impact of the arrow, the big man fell heavily to the ground, and blood gushed out from his mouth.

"General Che, General Che." Cheng Yu shouted when he saw Cao Cao's heroic general Che Zhou who died in front of him.

Che Zhou spat out blood, and said intermittently: "Sir..., I am ashamed of...my lord's trust..." After saying that, he died without a word.

Zhang Yi looked at the grief-stricken Cheng Yu with a cold smile on his face. Without hesitation, he raised the knife and dropped it. Cheng Yu's head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out.

In this way, Cheng Yu, an important adviser under Cao Cao's command, and Che Zhou, a powerful general, died in vain in Luoyang.

Zhang Yi was also decisive, it was really inappropriate to kill Cheng Yu so cleanly.

Seeing that he had successfully completed the mission, Zhang Yi immediately led his subordinates to support the wounded soldiers, and even took away the corpses of those who died in battle, and disappeared into the night without a trace.

Dozens of torches were thrown into the post house together, and the raging fire burst into the sky, dust to dust to dust.

…………

A thrilling assassination in Luoyang City completely disrupted the tranquility of the city.Knowing that Cao Cao's emissary and his party had all died at the embassy, ​​Zhang Yang couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately asked Yang Chou to lead his army to search the entire city, vowing to find the person who assassinated Cheng Yu and give Cao Cao an explanation.

In Luoyang City, there was a flurry of chaos. Except for some wealthy families, almost all the homes of the common people were searched. Of course, Zhang Yangjun’s military discipline is not good. Crimes emerged one after another, and the people in Luoyang city complained.

In the lobby, Zhang Yang paced alone, frowning and depressed. He was thinking about how he would explain to Cao Cao that Cheng Yu was Cao Cao's absolute confidant.If Cao Cao found out about Cheng Yu's tragic death, he would be so angry that he would definitely burn it on himself.

Even if he explained it to Cao Cao, he might not believe him. If he took a step back, even if he believed that he didn't send someone to kill him, then Cao Cao would help him without any grievances?

Cao Cao's retreat was completely cut off.

"Hey! Who could have done this? I'm afraid we won't be able to find the culprit." Zhang Yang was puzzled.

Just as Zhang Yang expected, he almost searched Luoyang City tonight, but Yang Chou didn't find any clues, so he rushed back in the morning and returned to Zhang Yang tremblingly.

Zhang Yang didn't blame him, but let him go down, and invited Yang Feng to discuss the way out.

At this time, Yang Feng understood a little, and said with some speculation: "General Zhang, I am afraid that this incident is likely to be done by the Bingzhou Army under Li Shimin's command. Think about it, kill Cao Cao's confidantes, and cut off me and Cao Cao." The possibility of alliance even cut off our army's retreat, and the only one who will benefit in the end is Li Shimin."

Zhang Yang also felt that it was very reasonable after hearing this, and gradually felt that this matter was done by Li Shimin.

"Well, things have come to this point, no matter who killed Cheng Yu is not important to us, let's think about what our army should do." Zhang Yang said a little dejectedly.

"Uh, it's not as good as us..." Yang Feng almost blurted out. In the current situation, he really couldn't see any other way out except to surrender to Li Shimin.

While they were discussing, a guard suddenly came to report: "Report... General Qi, there is a scholar named Li Ru outside the door asking to see him."

"What? Li Ru asked to see?" Both of them were taken aback. They were very familiar with Li Ru. He was Dong Zhuo's counselor. Didn't they hear that he disappeared?How could he appear in Luoyang.

…………

Li Ruwei has a great reputation, killing the emperor with a dove, this is not something ordinary people dare to do, but he dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do, so everyone respects him very much.

It turned out that Jia Xu strongly recommended Li Ru to Li Shimin, saying that he was quick-witted and talented.In the beginning, Li Shimin was willing to use him. After all, this person killed the young emperor, which was not good for his reputation.

But seeing Jia Xu insisting on recommending him, Li Shimin couldn't refute his face, and later said that if he could win Luoyang, he would give him a chance.

Therefore, Li Shimin asked him to follow Jia Xu to participate in the acquisition of Luoyang. Unexpectedly, although the process was tortuous, the matter was finally done.

At first, Li Ru's idea was to buy Yang Chou, Zhang Yang's subordinate, and take Luoyang by cooperating with the inside and outside. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Cao Cao's envoy disrupted his plan.

Under the pressure of Lu Bu's army, killing Cheng Yu and cutting off Cao Cao's support, Zhang Yang and Yang Feng seemed to have no choice but to surrender. Under Li Ru's flickering, they finally decided to surrender to Li Shimin.

…………

Li Ru quickly sent a letter to Jia Xu and Lu Bu to ask Cheng Lian to lead his army across the river from Hanoi County to Luoyang immediately, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

At the same time, Zhang Yang Rang wrote a letter in his own hand, and asked his subordinate Yang Chou to take him to Hangu Pass, offer the pass and surrender, and hand over Hua Tuo and Xu Huang.

On the other hand, he continued to sit in Luoyang to deal with emergencies and prevent the ducks he got from flying away.

Soon, Lu Bu and Jia Xuju received news from Li Ru.

Lu Bu laughed heartily and said, "Old fox is really powerful, and your helper Li Ru is not weak, I really underestimated you, haha."

Jia Xu remained calm, stroking his goatee, and said with a faint smile, "Fortunately, Luoyang was captured again..."
