Chapter 174 The Truth
Seeing the victims rushing towards them with their fangs bared, Zhang Liao and others were at a loss for what to do.
In the past, if civilians dared to attack the army, they would be killed directly.
But now it’s different.
Under the subtle influence of Cao Zhi.
They no longer dared to massacre civilians at will.
In addition, Cao Zhi had just asked them to share half of their dried sweet potatoes with the victims.
Therefore, in this sudden change.
They were actually stunned on the spot.
And this is the result.
Soon some soldiers were knocked off their horses.
Even the war horses were overwhelmed by them.
"What are you still standing there for? Kill him!"
Cao Zhi said angrily.
Although Cao Zhi is kind, he is not stupid.
In this situation, if we don't use tough measures to deter the victims, then we and others will be in great danger.
……
Under Cao Zhi's stern shout.
Only then did everyone react.
So the soldiers drew their swords.
Just like cutting wheat, all the victims who rushed up were killed.
The blood soon dyed the ground red.
It won’t take long.
In front of Cao Zhi and others.
The corpses piled up into a mountain, which was higher than the small mountain of dried sweet potatoes that everyone had piled up before. It was really ironic!
As for the remaining victims.
After seeing Cao Zhi and others being so cruel.
They all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
That miserable look.
It is really impossible to connect them with the victims who attacked Cao Zhi and others before.
"Fourth Young Master, we have thirty wounded, three dead, and five war horses lost!"
At this moment, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
After Zhang Liao said this, Cao Zhi felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"Zijian, you're too kind to them. If it were you, I'd kill them all!"
Cao Zhang said angrily.
In his opinion, it is a great shame for a soldier to die at the hands of disaster victims instead of on the battlefield!
Zhao Yun and Chen Dao heard what Cao Zhang said.
Although he looked reluctant, he did not open his mouth to refute.
When they followed Liu Bei before.
Liu Bei's army did not massacre civilians at will.
But the prerequisite is that these people do not attack the army.
Now that they dare to attack the army, they are already seeking death.
If he killed them at this time, no one would find fault with Cao Zhi.
As for Jia Xu, he looked at Cao Zhi calmly.
Seeing everyone looking at him.
Cao Zhi did not respond immediately.
His eyes kept moving among the crowd.
Cao Zhi remembered that before these victims took action, he heard highly inflammatory words.
"It's them!"
After a few breaths, Cao Zhi's gaze quickly locked onto the dozen or so figures retreating behind the crowd.
Although they were dressed in rags, their attire was no different from that of other disaster victims.
But their strong physique betrayed them.
"Someone is really behind this!"
Cao Zhi sneered in his heart.
He gave Chen Dao a wink.
Chen Dao understood what was going on and immediately led dozens of cavalrymen to surround the dozen or so people.
After a few breaths.
These dozen or so victims were brought before Cao Zhi.
Seeing that Cao Zhi was staring at him and others with a gloomy face.
The leader immediately started shouting.
His words were all about Cao Zhi wanting to slaughter them all and inciting the people to join him in rebelling.
But it's a pity.
The group of disaster victims behind them had long been frightened by Cao Zhi and others.
No matter how this person incited, the victims dared not raise their heads.
"Are you Lu Wu?"
At this moment, Zhao Yun rode up on his horse and came to the leader.
"General Zilong, is it really you?"
Seeing Zhao Yun appear, the man's face immediately showed joy, and then he shouted:
"General Zilong, save me! I am Lu Wu, General Zilong!"
While speaking, tears were streaming down his face.
Cao Zhi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart for his superb acting skills.
As for Lu Wu, seeing that his acting skills were so good, Zhao Yun remained unmoved.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and anger appeared on his face.
"Zhao Yun, are you clinging to the powerful and joining Cao Cao? Are you doing this to Uncle Liu? Are you doing this to my master? Ask yourself, how has my master treated you? Is this how you repay my Lu family?"
Lu Wu pointed at Zhao Yun's nose and scolded him angrily.
That sad and angry look.
I don’t know, but I’ll be really impressed by his acting.
But Zhao Yun remained unmoved.
After a long time, just when Lu Wu thought this method didn't work and was ready to try another way to persuade Zhao Yun to save himself.
But Zhao Yun suddenly said:
"Who poisoned me?"
After hearing these words, Lu Wu was stunned for a moment.
There was also a hint of evasion in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yun.
However, this emotion was quickly concealed by Lu Wu, but it was still caught by Zhao Yun.
"Tell me, who poisoned me?"
Zhao Yun asked.
"If I tell you, can you save my life?"
Lu Wu put forward his own conditions.
"Say!"
Zhao Yun said coldly.
"I...I...I said, he's my young master!"
Under Zhao Yun's powerful aura, Lu Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth.
After saying this, Lu Wu simply gave up.
Without waiting for Zhao Yun to continue asking, he told all the reasons at once.
"The previous head of the family, Lu Zhi, was Liu Xuande's master, and the current head of the family, Lu Yu, and Liu Xuande even call each other brothers. You, Zhao Yun, are just a subordinate of Liu Bei. The head of the family thinks highly of you, so he treats you as a brother!"
"But what about you? You don't know what's good for you. You knew the master of the family had taken a fancy to your warhorse and praised it in front of you many times, but you pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending you knew nothing. If you were smart and handed over the warhorse obediently, why would we poison you?"
"Zhao Zilong, all of this is your own fault!!!"
Lu Wu shouted out the last sentence.
After saying this.
Without waiting for Zhao Yun to react.
Lu Wu quickly ran to Cao Zhi's horse and shouted:
"My name is Lu Wu, and I am the cousin of Lu Yu, the current head of the Fanyang Lu family. I, the Fanyang Lu family, am willing to surrender to Cao Sikong. I hope the Fourth Young Master can save my life!"
After saying this, Lu Wu glared at Zhao Yun with great pride.
In Lu Wu's opinion, how could a mere Zhao Yun be compared with the Lu family of Fanyang.
Just surrender to Cao Zhi.
Then even if Zhao Yun was angry and wanted to kill himself, he would not dare to attack him.
But what Lu Wu didn't expect was.
Just as he took two steps towards Cao Zhi.
in front of him.
There is one more arrow.
An arrow shot by Cao Zhi!
"Zilong, I leave it to you!"
Cao Zhi looked at Zhao Yun and said lightly.
After hearing these words, Lu Wu felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
"General Zilong, please..."
Lu Wu quickly knelt down in front of Zhao Yun's horse and shouted.
But before he could finish his words, his head flew uncontrollably into the sky.
In Lu Wu’s last sight.
He saw Zhao Yun, Cao Zhi, and the headless corpse kneeling before Zhao Yun's horse...
