The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 99 Death of Wang Mi
After Wang Mi asked Cao Yi to send the wealth to Donglai, he was thinking about what he should do next at Xiangguan.

After all, although I don’t know why Wang Mi, a figure from a high-ranking family in the Western Jin Dynasty, wanted to do something with the Western Jin Dynasty.

But it is certain that precisely because Wang Mi overthrew the Western Jin Dynasty, he lost his purpose and became confused.

And Liu Tun was the real Liu Zhang whom Wang Mi captured in Luoyang. At this moment, he came out and said to Wang Mi:
"Now the world is in chaos, the nine states are divided, and heroes are appearing one after another. There will always be someone who can achieve unparalleled achievements and bring order to the world.

General, since you raised your troops, you have been invincible and victorious. You are truly a hero!
But now that you have broken up with Liu Yao again, I think you need to consider the fate of Wenzhong and follow Fan Li as an example.

If the general really has no idea of ​​unifying the world and achieving the great cause of the emperor, then the general should return to your fiefdom, sit in Qingzhou and watch the world.

If there is a chance, look for a chance to unify the world. If there is no chance, you can dominate one side.

Please also ask the general to think about Kuai Tong's words to persuade Han Xin. I believe the general will realize something after thinking about it! "

When Wang Mi heard Liu Tun's words, he couldn't help but think about it.

To be honest, Wang Mi was quite useful in the advice Liu Tun gave Wang Mi. At this time, Wang Mi really had no intention of becoming the emperor.

But if he could sit in a dominant position and watch the world, at least for Wang Mi, this would definitely be a pleasure.

As soon as I thought about separatism, I suddenly felt that the world was vast.

Wang Mi, who had been thinking about his new life direction in Xiang County for a long time, soon saw Shi Le beside him.

To be honest, Liu Yao, Shi Le and Wang Mi are not heroes of the world, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are outstanding people.

But the problem is that these three people, Liu Cong, can use Liu Yao at most. Wang Mi and Shi Le are convinced that it is Liu Yuan, not Liu Cong.

So when Wang Mi thinks of separatist rule, both Liu Yao and Shi Le must be eliminated for Wang Mi.

After all, this world is too small, and there are too many outstanding people to be divided among them!

Liu Tun may have really thought about Wang Mi and had his own plan. He encouraged Wang Mi to write a letter asking Wang Mi to dispatch Qingzhou governor Liu Tai to join forces with him to destroy Shi Le's army.

Needless to say, at least the generals are the main ones in this pass!
When Wang Mi heard this, he nodded and agreed to Liu Dun's suggestion, wrote a letter, and then on Liu Dun's recommendation, asked Liu Dun to deliver the letter to Liu Tai in person, and Wang Mi also agreed.

Liu Tun took the letter and headed to Qingzhou. This journey was quite ostentatious. I don’t know whether it was intentional or intentional. When he met Shi Le’s knight, Liu Tun only had to show that he was the messenger sent by Wang Mi to find Liu Tai. Normally, the knight would not do anything. So do it.

After all, Wang Mi and the others were not familiar with him, but Liu Tai, who had just defeated Gou Xi, was very famous among this generation.

Even if it is Shi Le's army, Liu Tai must give Liu Tai some face. After all, Liu Tai defeated Gou Xi. Don't others know that Shi Le doesn't know how difficult it is!
But when Liu Tun saw You Qi, especially after he confirmed that You Qi was indeed Shi Le's subordinate, Liu Tun forced his way in and hit his head on the spear in the hands of the Rangers. This forced You Qi to check and discovered that Wang This personal letter!
Shi Le couldn't help but be frightened when he saw Wang Mi's autographed letter, and an unknown fire rose in his heart.

Weren't you and I just comrades-in-arms?

Your brother Wang Zhang also fought with me in the Battle of Ningcheng and destroyed Sima Yue's main force. In the blink of an eye, he wanted to call Liu Tai over and devour him. Is this a despicable Han man without any moral integrity?

This matter made Shi Le immediately summon his senior officials to discuss it.

Zhang Bin first took the initiative to go to Youqi and asked them about the process of obtaining this letter. After listening, he was thoughtful.

Because of the strangeness of this letter, it is strange that Wang Mi and Shi Le are at least equal courtiers, and they have had many military cooperations with each other. As long as Liu Tun reveals his identity, he will definitely be able to get through it smoothly.

Regardless of Liu Tun's long-standing reputation for being upright, or the prestige accumulated by Liu Tun's five terms as secretary, he should not have just rushed through the level when encountering a wandering rider, and then died in such a careless manner on the wandering rider.

There were obviously many opportunities to avoid exposure, but Liu Tun chose the worst outcome.

All these signs made Zhang Bin understand that Liu Tun died to give Jin Ting a chance to breathe.

Zhang Bin knew very well that when Liu Dun risked his life to deliver the letter written by Wang Mi to Shi Le, the misunderstanding between Wang Mi and Shi Le would not be resolved.

And one of the two sharpest swords in the hands of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom must be broken!
Because Shi Le knew Wang Mi's intention to separate one side, and more importantly, his intention to murder himself.

And even if Shi Le didn't take action, as long as Wang Mi knew that Liu Tun died at Shi Le's hands in a few months, Wang Mi would probably doubt whether Shi Le had read the letter written by himself.

Shi Le can't answer "Look!"

It can be said that Liu Tun used his own life to gamble on the selfish desires of Wang Mi and Shi Le.

Liu Tun didn't know who among the two would win, and he didn't need to know.

But he could tell that when Wang Mi and Shi Le fell into a fight, it would be best for both parties to lose. Even the one who survived would be jealous of Liu Cong, which would lead to the collapse of the political balance of the entire Xiongnu and Han kingdoms.

With his extremely keen political sense, Liu Tun was aware of the contradictions between the Huns and Han people within the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom, as well as the contradictions between the Huns and other Hu people.

So after Liu Dun got Wang Mi's letter, he directly entered the game with his life and detonated the balance.

Zhang Bin saw through this, but he couldn't solve it because it required Wang Mi and Shi Le to have a frank talk.

If the strength of the two is equal, I'm afraid no one will bow their head.

But if someone can be far stronger than one party, then both parties can sit down and have a frank talk, and the strong person is willing to forgive the other party with an open mind, so that this matter can be overturned.

But now, can Wang Mi and Shi Le have a frank talk?

"General, are you ready to face Liu Huben, Liu Qingzhou's current military strength?"

Zhang Bin understood the matter clearly, stood up calmly, and spoke to Shi Le solemnly.

"Although Liu Huben is indeed a famous general in the world, since he wants to kill someone, he can't stick his head out for him to kill!"

When Shi Le heard Zhang Bin's words, he couldn't help but look serious.

Really reaching a desperate situation, Shi Le, who has been at the bottom all the way, really doesn't lack the confidence to compete.

"But at least Wang Mi doesn't know that we have received his handwritten letter, and it is even more impossible for Liu Huben to come from Qingzhou.

So during this period of time, we can be conceited and wait for him to reveal his flaws! "Zhang Bin said seriously.

"What Youhou said is true!" Shi Le replied with a serious expression after hearing Zhang Bin's words.

At this time, Wang Mi was also waiting for the news of Liu Tun contacting Liu Tai. He was thinking about plotting against Shi Le. He felt uneasy or tempted, so he wrote a letter and sent it directly to Shi Le. There was a sentence in it:

"The Duke defeated Xiangyang and surrendered to Wang Zan, which is a great achievement. Today, if someone can make Tai on the left and Duke on the right, the world will be settled!"

After Shi Le got the letter, he said to Zhang Bin, "What do you think this letter means?" Zhang Bin took it over, looked at it, and said with a calm smile, "I have no other choice but to surrender to Gonger.

Liu Huben captured Gou Xi, and the general defeated Sima Yue's main force, all of which contributed to the destruction of Jin Dynasty's Dingding. It is not surprising that he has such thoughts!
But in fact the key to this matter is not whether the general can endure being under Liu Qingzhou.

But if Liu Tun had not died, the general would have handed Liu Tun over to Wang Mi, which might have resolved the misunderstanding.

But the question is that Liu Tun is dead, and he died at the hands of General Youqi. Does the general think that Wang Mi will believe that the general does not know that he has had murderous intentions for you? "

"Yes! Liu Tun is dead. This is a knot that cannot be untied!" Shi Le couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhang Bin's words.

To be honest, Shi Le doesn't mind working for Wang Mi. After all, Liu Tai is so awesome that he already works for Wang Mi. He worked all the way up, but now Shi Le doesn't mind if he has a stronger boss.

But the problem now is that this boss has murderous intentions towards him, and the seeds of suspicion were planted by Liu Tun with his own death.

How could Shi Le believe in Wang Mi's sincerity? Who knows if this was a delaying tactic to appease him.

When Liu Tai came over, he just raised his knife and dropped it without saying a word, and then he was gone.

Therefore, Shi Le continued to show his friendliness to Wang Mi, and even took the initiative to send some treasures to Wang Mi.

It doesn't matter whether there is money or not, what matters is the heart. For Shi Le and other warlords, the most indispensable thing now is gold and silver.

After seeing the gift from Shi Le, Wang Mi felt a little happy.

I felt in my heart that when Liu Tai came over and forced Shi Le to surrender, it wasn't like I couldn't appease him and act as his thug.

After all, if Liu Yuan can use it, then Wang Mi can’t use Shi Le!
At this time, those begging soldiers Chen Wu and Liu Rui who came here out of instinct came to beg for a living.

Shi Le followed Chen Wu and Wang Mi followed Liu Rui.

Because Wang Mi asked Cao Yi to send him to Qingzhou, which resulted in insufficient soldiers, he asked Shi Le for help with the intention of continuing to test whether Shi Le really wanted to fight with him.

This feeling is like holding hands and hugging shoulders before confirming the relationship, showing an ambiguous attitude of understanding and understanding. You can't come up with the first sentence of "I want you to be my girlfriend" and blow the horn. Gotta be loud.

Originally, Shi Le was really gloating after receiving Wang Mi's letter asking for help, and wanted to reject Wang Mi and let Wang Mi know what reality is.

But Shi Le only enjoyed psychological pleasure, but Zhang Bin wanted actual benefits, so he said decisively:

"Isn't the general waiting for the opportunity to deal with Wang Mi every day? Now he has brought the opportunity to the general himself!
Who is Chen Wu?Let him be arrogant for a few more days, and it won't take much effort to deal with him in the future.

But Wang Mi was a prominent figure in the world. He came from a Jin family and had powerful generals like Liu Tai under his command.

If he raises a flag to rebel, the wise ministers in the world will be more willing to surrender. If such a person stays for one more day, he will pose a threat to the general! "

"What Youhou said is true!" Shi Le came to his senses and personally led his troops to support him.

At this time, Liu Rui was the most innocent and miserable. The beggar army he led really just wanted to find some food.

As a result, he got into trouble with the main force of the two powerful men who destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty. Not to mention that he could counterattack, even if he could barely resist, not to mention 72 generals, at least [-] generals would have to leave a substitute seat for him.

But the reality is that he was in a daze and was strangled by both parties in an instant. His head was chopped off by Shi Le and given to Wang Mi.

Wang Mi was so happy that his face was full of smiles. Shi Le proved with practical actions that he really wanted to surrender to him.

Wang Mi is quite willing to take care of his little brother, especially since Shi Le is quite capable!

And Shi Le took the initiative to send some money and silk. Wang Mi's feelings for Shi Le became deeper and he no longer doubted it.

Shi Le didn't expect Wang Mi to be so loyal, but he did understand why Liu Tai was willing to follow Wang Mi.

But it was a pity that when the letter fell into his hands, there was an unbreakable chain of suspicion between himself and Wang Mi.

As long as he thinks that Wang Mi really wants to kill him, then how can he hang out with Wang Mi?

And Wang Mi knew that he knew that he wanted to kill him, so how could he believe in his loyalty.

So I can only blame Wang Mi for writing that letter, and even more blame for why that letter fell into his hands.

As for this matter, it was hard for me to open my mouth. After all, I couldn't put my life in Wang Mi's hands.

So as autumn and winter came, Shi Le sent someone to say to Wang Mi:

"We have a banquet today. If nothing happens, let's have a drink and chat in Yecheng to beat the weather."

When Wang Mi heard this, he remembered his old friendship, and Shi Le gradually became interested in serving him, so he naturally said yes.

Zhang Song, the chief historian, quickly said to Wang Mi, "General, I don't think it's convenient to go drink with Shi Le now."

Wang Mi replied: "I know what you mean, but Shi Le's behavior these days is also clear.

I think he also knows that I want to recruit him, and wants to come and lend me this banquet to give me a formal reply. What if I don’t go?
When Zhang Song saw this scene, he knew that he could not persuade him, but for the sake of his own life, Zhang Song decisively went to prepare the horses to salute.

If something irreversible happens, at least he still has the possibility of escaping, but Wang Mi doesn't have such a good chance.

The green plums were cooked in wine, and Shi Le got drunk. He decisively drew his sword and chopped off Wang Mi's head.

His swordsmen and axemen even killed Wang Mi's men, including Wang Mi's younger brother Wang Zhang.

In an instant, a large area of ​​bright red blood flowed throughout the banquet hall.

Shi Le looked at Wang Mi's confused and frightened eyes, and said with some disbelief to Zhang Bin who was not far away:
"Did I kill Flying Leopard Wang Mi?!"

"Exactly!" Zhang Bin nodded solemnly, and then said,
"Now is the time to quickly annex the troops under his command, and we must not let them rebel!"

"What Youhou said is true!" Shi Le nodded, and then looked towards the east unconsciously.

He knew that from this moment on, there must be a mortal enemy in Qingzhou that he must deal with!

Naturally, this news cannot be concealed and spreads throughout the world!
　Even in history, I think Liu Tun's death is too strange. Why did Liu Tun die with Wang Mi's autographed letter in the same way?
