Chapter 295: King Chen's Assassination

Sun Ce rode forward and asked, "Where does Liu Yuanjun want to go?" ”

Liu Miao came out and said, "General Sun wants to take my head? Liu's head is here, and the rest are innocent, and I hope that General Sun will forgive him. ”

Sun Ce shook his head and said: "Liu Yuanjun blames me for being wrong, I am stationed here, and I heard that someone with an unknown flag is coming, so I came to investigate." I never thought it was Liu Yuanjun. ”

Liu Miao saw that Sun Ce had no malicious intent, but said: "General Sun, I am defeated, and Yangzhou is not mine." Today, I will lead the remnants to Yuzhang, and I hope that General Sun can let me wait for a way out. ”

Sun Ce was harmless to Liu Xuan, although he had the intention of wooing, but he persuaded Liu Xuan to surrender, and he was not qualified for the time being. So he gave way to a way: "Liu Yuanjun, please take it, the mountains and rivers are long all the way, please take care." ”

Liu Miao glanced at Sun Ce, bowed his hand, and thanked: "If there is a goodbye day, I vow to repay General Sun's kindness today." After speaking, he led his troops and went all the way to Yuzhang.

Yuzhang was too guarded by Hua Xin and heard that Liu Xianzhi was coming, and he personally led the county Zhu Cao out of the city to welcome him.

Liu Miao left, and Yuan Shu occupied Wu County. So far, the entire territory of Yangzhou, except for Yuzhang, is all owned by Yuan Shu. It also has the whole territory of Yuzhou and the three counties of Xuzhou. So Yuan Shu called himself Yangzhou Mu and Xuzhou Bo. He also made his henchmen incite the people in Sanzhou, and spread the rumor of the reincarnation of the five virtues. Do your best to build momentum for your own scheme.

Sun Jian was also in Yuzhou, rejecting Cao Cao. Cao Cao, under the banner of begging for thieves for the imperial court, first attacked Lu County (the former Lu State) and succeeded, and ordered the general Xiahou Dun to lead his troops to attack Yuan Zhong, the Taishou of Lu County, who fled to Pei County. Then he led a large army to attack Liang from Jiyin, and attacked Chen from Chenliu.

King Liang and King Chen were originally princes of the Han family, and Cao Cao obtained permission from the imperial court to make a special expedition. Attitude naturally speaks for itself. King Liang is a little better, with a gentle personality and relatively mediocre skills, but he secretly made eye contact with Cao Cao and quietly helped. King Chen is different, Cao Cao just put up the banner, and the soldiers are still in the future, so he said in a high-profile manner that he would obey the arrangements of the imperial court, and he would ask for soldiers and grain for food. It didn't make Sun Jian angry.

Fires broke out everywhere in Yuzhou, but there were these two thorns in the territory. Sun Jian thought about it, and thought that he would send troops to destroy these two people. Otherwise, where does this Yuzhou still have its own share, sooner or later it will have to be swallowed by Cao Cao. However, Sun Jian didn't want to carry the black cauldron of attacking the Han vassal king. So he sent someone to Jiujiang to see Yuan Shu and said so.

Yuan Shu was at the time when his self-aggrandizement was unstoppable, and now there are two vassal kings who dare to block his great cause, which is unbearable. Yuan Shu was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and then said to the envoy, you go back to see Wentai, let him leave this matter alone, fight well, and it will be a great achievement to defend Yuzhou for me. I sent someone to deal with these two troubles.

The envoy hurried to Yuzhou again, saw Sun Jian, and told Yuan Shu what he meant. Sun Jian thought to himself, okay, if you want to make a move, then I can't wait even more. So we waited and saw what happened.

Before long, Yuan Shu sent assassins to the Liang and Chen kingdoms. The Assassins arrived in the Kingdom of Liang first. After wandering around for more than ten days, I didn't find a chance. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, displaced people have risen everywhere and bandits have been in groups. The princes and kings have long been unable to collect land rents and taxes to support themselves. So they had to build a fortress to defend themselves. There are no very important things on weekdays, so it is easy not to show up. When the Assassin saw that King Liang had cowered in his palace and never came out, he had no choice but to retreat to the state of Chen. King Liang's Mansion was heavily guarded, and the armor soldiers patrolled back and forth, and he could not guarantee that he would not be discovered until he found King Liang in the heavy house. The Assassin's job was to hit with one hit, not to kill indiscriminately.

When the Assassin arrived in the Kingdom of Chen, he found a place and lurked with peace of mind. He goes out early and returns late every day, quietly inquiring about news and surveying the terrain. Finally, he found a chance. Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun has a birthday, and King Chen will go to Luo Jun's mansion for a banquet. Chen Guo didn't know that Wang and Tongxin were together, and the two of them joined hands with two swords and governed Chen Guo in an orderly manner. For example, there are many turbulent people in various counties and states today, and how many counties and states can be like Chen Guo, where bandits are not born, the society is stable, and the people are satisfied? All of this is thanks to the power of King Chen and Chen Xiang Luo Jun. In previous years, Luo Jun celebrated his birthday, and King Chen went to a banquet to celebrate, and this year will definitely be no exception.

On this day, the people of Luo's Mansion got up early and began to sweep the courtyard, and then changed everything that should be changed, inside and out. Today is the birthday of the Lord of the family, and today will welcome a distinguished guest. Luo Jun has always been thrifty, and every time he celebrates his birthday, he is silent, but since King Chen came once, all the officials and people of Chen Guo know about his birthday. I have to celebrate for him. Luo Jun was not the best of everyone, so he had to set up a banquet in the outer courtyard on his birthday to feast his colleagues and people. Then in the court, he personally entertained King Chen. This time, it's the same.

At night, Luo's Mansion is lit up and brightly lit. In the outer courtyard, other officials and representatives of the people of Chen Guo were already seated. After a while, a friend outside sang: "King Chen has arrived!" ”

Hearing that King Chen had arrived, everyone stood up one after another. Look at the door of the house. I saw that accompanied by Luo Jun, Liu Pet, the king of Chen, who was wearing a brocade robe with a golden crown on his head, walked in.

Liu Pet is conceited and brave, and he doesn't like to be swaggering by nature. This time, it is still a light car. Except for a few personal guards, there was no one else. When King Chen arrived, the banquet began. Luo Jun greeted him outside, and then went inside to accompany Chen Wang to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, a waiter came in to wait, and when he arrived at the banquet, Luo Jun suddenly remembered that he hadn't called anyone in just now, so he said, "Who called you here?" ”

The waiter bowed his head and didn't answer, Luo Jun was startled, jumped up, and a thin sword suddenly popped out of the waiter's sleeve, shook in the wind, stood straight, and then stabbed straight into Luo Jun's heart. Luo Jun let out a loud cry and fell on his back. When the assassin assassinated Luo Jun, he got up, picked up the desk with his foot, hit the assassin in the back, and then shouted: "Come on!" There are assassins! ”

At this time, there was chaos in the courtyard, and the Assassins' comrades also intervened in the outer courtyard. In the court, King Chen raised his sword and fought with the assassins, but he secretly complained in his heart, and the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, but he was afraid that he would be stopped by the thieves outside the palace. Now I just hope that the guards will quickly solve the other thieves and come to their aid. Otherwise, today is in jeopardy.

What King Chen practiced was the art of riding and shooting into battle, which was very different from the way of assassination. The Assassin was accustomed to tossing and turning in small spaces, and his moves were shady and ruthless. Where is King Chen the opponent of this kind of person. The battle is not counted, and the body is wounded by several wounds.

King Chen's blood flowed like an infusion, and he still did not retreat, and the tiger shouted: "You dare to assassinate the Lone King, do you know that this is the crime of the Yi clan?" My army is coming, and we will not retreat quickly! ”

Luo Jun's mansion is not far from Chen Wang's mansion, and at this time, the shouts of killing are everywhere, as long as the lieutenant of Chen Guo is not deaf, he should also react. How do you know that this group of assassins is a dead soldier who has been raised by Yuan Shuyin for many years, and if they can complete the task, it doesn't matter if they throw their lives here. Hearing King Chen's shouting, the offensive became more and more urgent. Ding Ding Dangdang's confrontation was attacked, and at the same time as sparks flew around, several wounds were added to King Chen's body.

King Chen's chest was panting, and his breath was short. At this time, he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today. Listening to the faint sound of the military horn in the distance, King Chen laughed loudly: "Thief, the lonely king is dead, none of you can escape, you all have to be buried with the lonely king!" ”

The assassin didn't say much, and after stabilizing his breath, he went up again, and the cold light appeared, and the sword did not leave King Chen's vital point. King Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and only begged to cover it a few more times, so that the army could surround it. When the time comes, none of these thieves will want to escape.

After fighting a few times, King Chen's strength weakened, and he finally had no strength to fight anymore, so he retreated and leaned against the wall, and said with a smile: "Lonely is a relative of the Han family, and Tianhuang is noble, how can he die at the hands of thieves?" After that, he drew his sword and killed himself.

When the assassin saw King Chen's death, he jumped out of the courtyard and was about to climb onto the roof of the house when an arrow grazed his face. Accompanied by the rumbling drums, the army of Chen Wangfu surrounded Luo's mansion. At this time, let alone a person, even a bird can't fly out.

Lieutenant Chen Guodu led the troops, came in without saying a word, and pressed all the survivors to the ground. Then he rushed in, and after seeing the bodies of Luo Jun and Chen Wang in the inner courtyard, he was silent for a long time, and said with a blue face: "Everyone, screen on the spot." The rebels and their allies are razed by their three clans. ”

How many years have passed since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and there has never been an assassin assassinating Wang Jia. Today, such an unheard of thing happened in Chen Guo. King Chen was assassinated at the same time as Chen, and Captain Chen Guodu knew that this matter had broken the sky, so he declared martial law in Chen County and tortured him severely in Luo Jun's mansion.

It didn't take long for the results to come out. After all, most of the assassins were outsiders, so they were easy to identify. As soon as Captain Chen Guodu heard that the accent was all Jianghuai people, he had a bottom in his heart. After ordering these chaotic parties to be strictly guarded, Lieutenant Chen Guodu hurriedly wrote a recital, which was rushed to Luoyang for 800 miles.

Chen County mobilized the army overnight, and the next day, the matter could not be hidden. When the people of the country learned that King Chen and Chen Xiang Luo Jun had been stabbed, their cries shook the sky. And he remembered that King Chen was dead, and that no one could keep them safe. So in a panic, they fled one after another. Chen Guo was in turmoil. When the book arrived in Luoyang, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it. Thinking about it again, even the assassins dare to assassinate Wang Jia, is it possible that the prestige of the Han Empire has disappeared?

The Son of Heaven was sad for a while, ordered the ministers to agree on a name for King Chen, and asked King Chen to ask his heirs. Soon, there are ministers to report, for the king of Chen, because the prince of Chen died early, the king of Chen only has a daughter, so there is no heir to succeed the seal of the state of Chen, the king of Chen, the fourth generation of the country, to this country extinct.

King Chen suffered in the country, which made the people sad, so he was ashamed. The Son of Heaven ordered Chen Guodu to interrogate the behind-the-scenes instructions, and report the results when there is a result. At the same time, the assassination of King Chen also spread throughout the prefectures. King Liang, who was close at hand, heard that it was more difficult to go out of the gate, and the second door was not to step. Completely hide at home and be a happy man.

In Qingzhou, Liu Bei was leading by example with his ministers and persuading the people to farm. I was also very surprised when I heard the news. He didn't know about King Chen before. After figuring out the whole story, Liu Bei knew that King Chen was only afraid that he would be poisoned by Yuan Shu or Sun Jian. Sun Wentai is brave and heroic, and he can't get used to seeing you only raise a large army to attack him. It will not make such a negative means. It seems that Yuan Shu may be the majority. Liu Bei instructed left and right: "Let's see how the court beliefs, King Chen has no children, and his daughter is also the daughter of my clan." If the court is weak, take my Qingzhou to take care of it. ”

As soon as King Chen was assassinated, the defense of the princes of the world was raised by another level.
