The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

"Thank you King Wei!"

Xu Shu cupped his hands.

The two went downstairs together.

Hua Xiong ordered Zhou Cang to settle down Xu Shu's life.

Watching Zhou Cang take Xu Shu away, Hua Xiong showed a smile on his face.

"My lord, with just a few conversations, made Xu Shu dispel the idea of ​​assassinating him, and even took action to protect the lord.

The lord is really a good means. "

Guo Jia said with emotion.

"But that's not enough." Hua Xiong smiled slightly, "He hasn't agreed to serve me yet."

Guo Jia frowned, sighed and said,

"Yuanzhi is an upright person, and he is very loyal. It is a bit tricky to ask him to change to the lord."

"Troublesome for others, but easy for me."

Hua Xiong laughed loudly.

At this time Zhao Yun came up from the side, cupped his hands,

"My lord, after counting, a total of 28 assassins were killed, and dozens of them have already fled. Do you want to seal off the capital and search for them?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

But Hua Xiong shook his head and said with a light smile,

"No need."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were stunned.

After Hua Xiong conquered Xuzhou, Liu Xie directly made him the prime minister of the imperial court and took control of the imperial power.

The prime minister of the imperial court was assassinated, and out of reason, he wanted to blockade Luoyang, conduct a large-scale manhunt, and catch the assassin.

But Hua Xiong did not agree to hunt for the assassin.

"My lord, why is this?"

Guo Jia was puzzled.

Hua Xiong smiled mysteriously,

"If all those assassins are arrested, how can I recruit Xu Shu?"

Zhao Yun was at a loss, not understanding what the arrest of the assassin had to do with Xu Shu.

But Guo Jia next to him suddenly realized,

"My lord actually has such a deep meaning!"

"Military division, what kind of charades are you playing?" Zhao Yun asked dumbfounded.

Guo Jia laughed,

"Zilong, let me ask you, what would you do if you were an assassin?"

Zhao Yun said without thinking,

"Of course I will flee Luoyang immediately and join Liu Bei."

"That's right." Guo Jia nodded with a smile, "After the assassin defected to Liu Bei, he would naturally tell him everything that happened today."

"Liu Bei and others will know that Xu Shu not only did not assassinate the lord, but even helped him.

At that time, even if Xu Shu did not join the lord, he would have nowhere to go. "

Zhao Yun will also react now, with a face suddenly said,

"I see. No wonder the lord won't let me catch the assassin."

Hua Xiong laughed loudly,

"Those who know me are filial piety."

"My lord's thinking is so quick, Feng Xiao really admires it."

Guo Jia shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Yun also looked at Hua Xiong with admiration.

"Next, it's time to wait and see what happens."

Hua Xiong laughed.

……

Among the several counties in Yangzhou, Cao Cao only occupied Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, and the territory is really not rich.

Fortunately, Liu Bei's army is not too large, and it is temporarily placed in Hefei.

In the barracks, Liu Bei was flipping through the military documents, but his brows were tightly frowned, a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed and said,

"Xuande, why are you so sad?"

"It's been more than a month, I don't know what's going on with Yuan Zhi."

Liu Bei sighed.

"Yuan Zhi is extremely strong in his work, and his ability is no less than that of Kong Ming.

If he goes this time, he will definitely succeed. "

Cao Cao comforted him.

"I hope so."

While the two were talking, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted.

Zhang Fei hurried in,

"Brother, Duke Cao, the assassin we sent to Luoyang City is back!"

Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other, stood up immediately, and walked out quickly.

In the open space in the middle of the camp, shopkeeper Liu led dozens of people under his command, sitting on the spot panting heavily.

Seeing Liu Bei approaching, they hurriedly stood up,

"Lord."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said anxiously,

"How about it, did you get it?"

Shopkeeper Liu said dejectedly, "Report to my lord, I didn't succeed."

Hearing this, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others all had disappointed expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly noticed that Xu Shu was not there.

He frowned,

"Treasurer Liu, what about the military advisor?"

When Xu Shu was mentioned, shopkeeper Liu felt itchy with hatred.

"My lord, that bastard Xu Shu has joined Hua Xiong!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang and others were in an uproar.

"impossible!"

Liu Bei shook his head decisively.

"How could Yuan Zhi join Hua Xiong?"

"You bastard, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

Zhang Fei glared.

They have been with Xu Shu for a long time, so they naturally know what kind of person Xu Shu is.

With Xu Shu's loyal character, how could he take refuge in Hua Xiong?

"Xuande, Yide, don't worry, let shopkeeper Liu finish the sentence."

Cao Cao persuaded softly.

"What Mr. Cao said makes sense, let Shopkeeper Liu tell you everything that happened that day."

Zhuge Liang also echoed.

"Shopkeeper Liu, tell me the truth, or I'll kill you!"

Zhang Fei glared at Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback.

He collected himself and recounted in detail what happened that day.

"That day, Xu Shugou...he took two followers to wander around Luoyang City, and met Hua Xiong on the way, and Hua Xiong asked him to meet him at a restaurant at night."

"But Xu Shu didn't tell me. Two followers secretly informed me. So that night, I took all my men and went to the restaurant to ambush."

"That guy Xu Shu had a great time talking with Hua Xiong.

I couldn't wait that long, so I brazenly assassinated Hua Xiong.

But Xu Shu, that bastard, not only didn't help me, but even stopped me when I was about to succeed! "

Shopkeeper Liu said bitterly.

"My lord, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was a little hesitant.

He could see that shopkeeper Liu was telling the truth.

But even if he was beaten to death, he didn't believe it. The loyal Xu Shu would rebel after meeting Hua Xiong twice.

How can this be?

"My lord, if you don't believe me, you can ask the brothers present!

If I lie half a sentence, let me be hit with thunder and bangs! "

Shopkeeper Liu vowed to be authentic.

"Yes, my lord, then Xu Shu really betrayed!"

"He talked happily with Hua Xiong, we saw it with our own eyes."

Others at the scene spoke out one after another, expressing their agreement with Shopkeeper Liu's words.

Rao Liu Bei believed in Xu Shu, but his thoughts were shaken because of his reputation.

"Xuande, you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. Maybe Xu Shu is such a despicable villain."

Cao Cao snorted lightly.

He was suspicious by nature, so he naturally felt that Xu Shu was double-faced and took refuge in Hua Xiong behind Liu Bei's back.

Don't mention how uncomfortable Liu Bei felt.

He didn't have any talents under his command, but this time he sent Xu Shu to assassinate Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong turned him over.

This is simply stealing chickens without losing money!

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said,

"Shopkeeper Liu, although you did not succeed in assassinating Hua Xiong, you have worked hard without credit, and I will reward you.

As for... the traitor Xu Shu, one day I will catch him and punish him! "

Shopkeeper Liu and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly saluted Liu Bei, saying in unison,
