Chapter 144 Liu Yao’s death!

Accompanying Liu Bei, thousands of people led by Tai Shici escaped from the battlefield.

The coalition forces, which were already scattered in all directions, no longer had the fighting spirit.

Wherever the Xuzhou soldiers led by Xue Rengui and Liao Hua went, there were reports of surrender everywhere.

The voice of surrender spread like a flood bursting its banks, and it was out of control.

South of Pengcheng, in the woods thirty miles away.

Liu Yao, who finally escaped from the chaotic battlefield, heard the sound of surrender coming from dozens of miles away, and his face was filled with sadness.

"I am so ashamed of my late emperor!"

After saying that, Liu Yao knelt down directly on the ground and looked in the direction of Luoyang City.

"Since you feel so guilty, why don't you die?"

A mocking voice came from behind, Liu Yao was stunned, and an ominous feeling lingered in his heart.

He turned his head subconsciously and saw Zhang Ying slowly approaching with a big knife in his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"I've always been kind to you, why would you betray me?"

A flash of light flashed in Zhang Ying's cold eyes: "Because the weight of betrayal is enough."

"How long can you survive under the command of a coward like you?"

"In troubled times, the strong are respected. Yangzhou is in your hands, how long can you hold on?"

"For the future, you can only..."

"Go to hell!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up, and the sword drew a graceful arc from top to bottom.

How could the old Liu Yao block Zhang Ying's sword?

A silver light flashed before his eyes, and the next moment his neck felt cold, and blood spurted out from it.

Then his vision went black, and his body fell heavily to the ground, unable to die anymore.

"clap clap"

Applause rang out, and a middle-aged man standing next to Zhang Ying said with a smile: "Good birds choose trees to roost, and loyal ministers choose their masters to work!"

"Brother Zhang Ying is brave, resolute and shows no mercy. I really did not misjudge the person!!"

Zhang Ying turned around and looked at the speaker with stern eyes: "I never thought that Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence all over the world, but there are such despicable and shameless people under his command."

"Jian Yong, if something happens to my family, I will drag you to hell even if I die."

The middle-aged man who spoke was none other than Liu Bei's confidant Jian Yong. He had been following Zhang Ying since the battle tonight, and his purpose was naturally to witness Liu Yao's death with his own eyes.

After all, if Liu Bei wanted to capture Yangzhou and make a powerful general like Tai Shici surrender, the biggest stumbling block was Liu Yao.

As early as half a month ago, he and Sun Qian had secretly made a plan. In addition to buying Zhang Ying, it was more of a threat.

Everything went as they expected, Zhang Ying had no intention of losing everything, and the plan went smoothly.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, Jian Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Zhang Ying, we still need your efforts to stabilize Yangzhou. How can we cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

"What's more, my lord is currently employing people. General Zhang Ying is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. In troubled times, you must have a place. My lord is so thirsty for talents, how can he abandon you?"

Zhang Ying snorted coldly: "It's best not to leak the news tonight, otherwise I, Zhang Ying, will certainly die, but Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence has just fallen. Why should I compete with the heroes of the world?"

Jian Yong's pupils narrowed and he frowned: "From now on, my lord is also your lord. Don't speak arrogantly and get into trouble!"

"Now these more than a hundred people are all my chosen confidants, there is absolutely no problem."

"We need to make peace with the Lord now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves: "My lord, General Taishi Ci is several miles away!!"

Jian Yong narrowed his eyes slightly: "According to the plan, everyone will have a wound on their body."

"quick!!"

"Ahhh!" Screams sounded one after another, followed by a burst of crying that echoed through the woods.

When Liu Bei and Tai Shici approached the woods, the first thing they heard was crying.

An unpleasant feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and Taishi Ci galloped: "Quick, enter the woods!!"

"Beware of enemies!!"

Liu Bei also galloped forward, his face anxious and his heart filled with anxiety.

Seeing Taishi Ci running forward, he subconsciously looked at Sun Qian.

Sun Qian smiled lightly: "My lord, Xianhe (Jian Yong's name) has succeeded."

"There is a good show coming next, and it needs to be performed well, but there are always surprises."

"If Tai Shici finds out something, we will definitely not let him escape from the woods now."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment and sighed: "It's up to you to arrange everything!"

"Let's go into the woods!!"

Deep in the woods, Taishi Ci looked at Liu Yao who fell in the crowd, and his heart suddenly felt a little bit. Thinking of Liu Yao's kindness to him, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"My lord, my lord"

Before he could get close to Liu Yao, the sound of crying and crying sounded from behind him: "Brother, brother"

"What do you do for a living? There are so many people and you can't even protect your brother?"

"What do you want?"

"What's the use!!!"

The shouts were accompanied by angry sounds. At this moment, Liu Bei seemed to have lost the most important person in his life.

The sound of his painful cries made Tai Shici, who was slightly sad in his heart, subconsciously stop his movements and swallow the questions that came to his lips.

After all, no matter in terms of status or relationship, Liu Bei is many times closer than his confidant and favorite general.

With Liu Bei here, how could he ask too much?
However, he looked at Zhang Ying with a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhang Ying knelt on the ground and said with a wry smile: "The rear army was attacked, the lord ordered Zhang Yang, Zhang Jin encircled and suppressed from the flanks, Yan Baihu led his troops and blocked it first."

"Who would have thought that Yan Baihu would be shot dead by Xue Rengui as soon as he came into contact with him."

"The [-] men under his command were routed. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation and led his troops to cover up the killing."

"General Fan Neng and I fought tooth and nail to resist. In the end, General Fan Neng died in the battle, I was injured, and my lord was also stabbed during the breakout."

"I originally thought I could hold on, but after running for more than ten miles, countless blood suddenly burst out from the wound."

"As a result, my lord will die"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ying's face was full of sorrow, and there were even a lot of tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes.

Tai Shici still wanted to ask, but Liu Bei had already raised the sword in his hand: "You don't protect the Lord well, you still have so many explanations!"

"See if I don't kill you!"

With that said, he pulled out the male and female swords from his waist and ran towards Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying's face was uncertain, and the plan discussed in advance did not come out like this.

How unjust would it be if Liu Bei really killed him with a shake of his hand?

While hesitating, Sun Qian on the side stepped forward and pulled Liu Bei: "My lord, there was a big defeat tonight, and the coalition forces suffered heavy losses."

"There is a shortage of major generals. Although General Zhang Ying has made mistakes, he will not be punished until death."

"How can we kill Zhongliang indiscriminately when we are employing people now?"

"Now that the commander-in-chief is shrouded in horse leather, as long as the news spreads, there will be chaos in Yangzhou. We should stabilize the morale of the army and not move arbitrarily!"

"Otherwise, this corner of the southeast will fall into chaos. When the time comes, our loved ones will only suffer, and our enemies will be quick!"

"Lord, think twice before you act!"
