Chapter 554 Consort Guo and the Overbearing King of Wu! Zhang Liao: The takeout is here!
Lu Su did not attack Guo Tu directly because Xu Sheng and several personal guards were standing next to Guo Tu.
Although Lu Su had some martial arts skills and knew some swordsmanship.
But compared to Xu Sheng, they are far inferior.
He decided to go to Sun Quan to expose Guo Tu's conspiracy and prevent Guo Tu's trickery from succeeding!
however.
Guo Tu was much faster than Lu Su.
He arrived at Sun Quan's camp ahead of time and said to Sun Quan:
"My lord, a few days ago I contacted an acquaintance from Huainan on a whim."
"I thought we had no news of them, but I didn't expect that several acquaintances were serving as soldiers guarding Hefei, one of whom was even a city gate captain!"
Guo Tu respectfully presented the letter he had obtained from the intelligence guards to Sun Quan.
This letter, from the moment it was delivered by the intelligence guards, was already a tampered version, perfectly matching what Guo Tu said.
Therefore, Guo Tu can be used directly without any modifications.
Sun Quan received the letter, and a feeling of joy immediately welled up in his heart!
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Guo Qing, I knew you were always shrewd and loyal to me."
"If these people can assist our army in capturing Hefei, Guo Qing will be credited with the greatest merit!"
"Tell me, what reward does Guo Qing want?"
"Whether it's a position, a beautiful woman, or a fief, I, Sun, will certainly satisfy your desires!"
Guo Tu immediately showed sincerity, cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, these are all my duties, and I have no merit to speak of."
"The fact that my lord has taken me in and trusted me is the greatest blessing I have ever received in this life!"
"Guo Qing...you..."
Sun Quan was moved to tears.
If only he had a few more loyal ministers like Guo Yu under his command!
But Sun Quan was, after all, a monarch; how could he not reward those who had rendered meritorious service?
Under his repeated questioning, Guo Tu said:
"If my lord truly wishes to reward his subordinates, please reinstate Zijing to his original position!"
"Our Jiangdong cannot be without a virtuous talent like Zijing!"
Sun Quan patted Guo Tu on the shoulder:
"You always think of others first, but never think of yourself."
“Zijing has gone mad and is spouting nonsense. He even disregarded your past friendship as colleagues and attacked you.”
"Yet you still think of him so selflessly!"
"Sigh! Zijing should really smash his head against a block of tofu and reflect on his mistakes!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Su arrived at the entrance of the main tent.
Upon hearing this, Lu Su instinctively felt that Guo Tu was once again openly or secretly slandering him!
The thought that Guo Tu was most likely a spy sent by Cao Cao's camp made Lu Su furious. He threw open the curtain and rushed in, grabbing Guo Tu's wrist!
Sun Quan was furious:
"Zijing, what are you doing?"
"Guo Qing has been speaking highly of you, even refusing to accept any credit, and offering it as a bargaining chip for your reinstatement!"
Lu Su pointed at Guo Tu and said angrily:
What merit could he possibly have?
"I saw it with my own eyes; he was in league with Cao Cao's camp and is an absolute traitor!"
On the way here, Lu Su went through all the feelings of unease he had previously felt towards Guo Tu.
The more I thought about it, the more reasonable everything seemed.
With Guo Tu as an undercover agent, Cao Cao's camp seemed to have a third eye, and all military operations in Jiangdong looked like a joke!
"Zijing! How dare you slander me like this?"
Guo Tu's large tears streamed down his cheeks.
For a moment, Guo Tu's expression resembled that of a beautiful woman betrayed by a heartless man, a hundred times more wronged than Dou E!
Sun Quan was so angry he laughed.
Sun Quan viewed Lu Su's suspicions as completely unfounded and a slander against Guo Tu!
Just moments before, his advisor, Guo Qing, had offered him a brilliant plan.
It was for this reason that Guo Qing secretly made contact with Cao Cao's men.
Besides, there's Xu Sheng, and dozens of his personal guards.
Are all those people blind?
Or are all these people traitors, and only Lu Su is a righteous and upright official?
Although Sun Quan himself had a flexible moral bottom line, that did not prevent him from applying double standards.
Even the worst people can occasionally act as champions of justice.
Not to mention, Sun Quan truly regarded Guo Tu as a close confidant, and Lu Su was also one of his confidants.
Now, however, Lu Su harbors such great malice towards Guo Tu.
This caused Sun Quan great distress!
suddenly.
Guo Tu broke free from Lu Su, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Sun Quan, saying:
"My lord, please do not punish Zijing!"
“Zijing must have lost his mind for a moment and been blinded by impulse.”
"He'll be fine once he's sober."
Seeing the innocent-looking guy still putting on an act, Lu Su really wanted to slap him to death!
But before Lu Su could make a move, Sun Quan said coldly:
"Zijing, for Guo Qing's sake, I won't punish you this time."
"But if there's a next time, you'll go to jail."
"Lord!"
Lu Su pointed at Guo Tu in disbelief, then looked at Sun Quan.
Guo Tu outwardly expressed gratitude to Sun Quan for his magnanimity, but inwardly he was laughing wildly!
Lu Su's expression just now reminded him of an old acquaintance, Ju Shou, the Celestial Dragon.
Such a proud man, yet in the end, in the prison van, his life was ended by Guo Tu with a single pill!
Now, Guo Tu does not want to kill Lu Su.
The orders for the Minister's residence had already been placed, and Guo Tu also hoped to contribute to the Minister's residence by sending more outstanding talents there.
Lu Su was dragged out.
Although he retained the position of supervising grain supplies.
But in reality, it was clear to everyone that Sun Quan had lost trust in Lu Su.
If a cold-blooded, mean-spirited ruler like Sun Quan lost the trust of his followers, his fate would be predictable.
Followed by.
Guo Tu continued to discuss with Sun Quan the "feasibility of opening the Hefei city gate".
Sun Quan decided to give it a try.
Guo Tu's acquaintance served as the city gate captain in Hefei.
Don't underestimate the position of the City Gate Commandant; it is very important.
The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.
In war, once the city gates are opened, the ensuing battle is almost certainly destined to be one-sided.
Unless... there was an ambush planned beforehand!
……
Second day
As night fell
Sun Quan prepared 10,000 elite troops, led by generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Ling Tong, and marched towards the walls of Hefei.
These 10,000 elite troops were indeed the most elite among the 100,000-strong army.
Even the "Tiger Warriors of Chariots," who were founded during Sun Ce's time and had followed Han Dang for many years, participated in this battle.
The tiger guards under the chariot were all tall and burly, seemingly modeled after Cao Cao's Tiger Guard.
But who is stronger and who is weaker will become a historical mystery after tonight.
The four generals, under cover of darkness, secretly led their troops to the city walls.
Sure enough, a city gate captain appeared on the Hefei city tower with several soldiers and opened the city gate for them.
The four generals were overjoyed and rushed into the city.
"Hahaha, Hefei is already in our lord's hands!"
Han Dang laughed loudly, and without realizing it, he also raised his middle finger, imitating Zhang Liao's mocking gesture.
The next moment.
The fire is soaring!
Zhang Liao, wielding the Ao Long Blade, wearing a white feathered helmet, light blue armor, and iron boots, appeared at the end of the street!
