The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

For Dian Wei, this might have become a burden, but he didn't care. All he cared about was Chan'er's smile. This is why Dian Wei was still relatively loyal and friendly to Wang Yun. After all, Li Chan was Wang Yun's nominal adoptive father, and it was only because of Wang Yun that the two of them were able to come together.

"Whoever can rescue my father-in-law and wife will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and promoted three ranks!"

Dian Wei addressed the soldiers around him.

All the soldiers were moved by Dian Wei's promise, but this was not an attack mission, but a hostage rescue mission. No one had confidence. Most of the soldiers following Dian Wei were illiterate, so it was really difficult for them to come up with a plan.

Time ticked by, and although Dian Wei was anxious, he dared not make any rash moves. Although he did not know much about Gongsun Zan, he knew that Gongsun Zan was a man who would not easily compromise. However, he dared not gamble, because if he gambled wrongly, Li Chan would vanish into thin air.

"What should we do?!"

Dian Wei was extremely anxious at this moment, but Gongsun Zan in the mansion was not anxious at all. He knew very well that the longer he dragged things out, the more advantageous it would be for him. He only needed to hold out until the army entered the city, and then this matter would be over.

Gongsun Zan would let Li Chan go. Although he had to admit that Li Chan was indeed very beautiful, Gongsun Zan was not the kind of person to force others, especially women. He would never force them. Moreover, Gongsun Zan's ambition was gradually growing, and his pursuit of power far outweighed his pursuit of beauty.

However, Gongsun Zan actually harbored murderous intent towards that old scoundrel Wang Yun, but he concealed it well and did not reveal it to Wang Yun at this moment.

"Lord Wang, how are you feeling?" Looking at Wang Yun sitting upright in front of him, Gongsun Zan scoffed. "Pretend, go ahead and pretend. But you can't even pretend properly. Look how your body is trembling."

"General Gongsun, do you know what you're doing?" Wang Yun said to Gongsun Zan, feigning composure.

Gongsun Zaicui said to Wang Yun, "Wang Yun, I respect you as my lord, but don't get so confused. What I did is a question I should be asking you. What you did is a question I should be asking you. My teacher was killed by your good son-in-law, and you probably don't even know that."

"What!" Upon hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Wang Yun was shocked. Dian Wei had ruined him! Originally, there would have been room for maneuver if Lu Zhi had been placed under house arrest, but Lu Zhi was killed directly by Dian Wei. Now, Wang Yun was confirmed to have wrongfully killed a minister, not to mention that the minister was the governor of a province and the regent minister in the late emperor's will!

Moreover, Lu Zhi was a great Confucian scholar of the empire! Thinking of this identity, Wang Yun broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing Wang Yun's reaction, Gongsun Zan sneered, "You know you regret it now, but it's too late. After tonight, everyone in the empire will know that the Lord Wang who saved His Majesty and the empire is a second Ding Yuan!"

"you!"

Wang Yun had no way to refute Gongsun Zan's words, and he pointed at Gongsun Zan without saying a word for a long time.

Gongsun Zan stood up, gave Wang Yun a cold laugh, and walked outside. As he passed Wang Yun, he whispered in Wang Yun's ear, "This general must thank you, sir. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have had to wait to take over the Bingzhou army. Now everything my teacher has will be mine!"

"Hahahaha!"

Gongsun Zan left laughing. Wang Yun had no intention of exposing Gongsun Zan's evil deeds to the Bingzhou soldiers. Compared to Gongsun Zan, he was the enemy of the Bingzhou army. Who would believe the words of an enemy? An hour later, Dian Wei still hadn't found a way to rescue Li Chan and Wang Yun. By this time, Dian Wei had no chance. Scattered soldiers gradually appeared near the Grand Commandant's mansion. At first, Dian Wei didn't pay any attention to this phenomenon, thinking they were just soldiers looting in the city. However, as more and more scattered soldiers appeared, Dian Wei finally realized something was wrong. He grabbed a soldier at random and asked him, only to find out that they were all defeated soldiers, and the Bingzhou army had already entered the city.

Dian Wei then realized he had been tricked, but by then it was too late. A large number of Bingzhou soldiers slowly appeared around the Grand Commandant's mansion, and there were musketeers everywhere.

Dian Wei was surrounded.

Having received reinforcements, Gongsun Zan said to Dian Wei, "Dian Wei, surrender."

Gongsun Zan did not want to recruit Dian Wei. Not only was Dian Wei the culprit in the murder of Lu Zhi, but Dian Wei was also extremely untrustworthy. If Dian Wei were to surrender, would Gongsun Zan dare to accept him? Just think about how Ding Yuan died.

"Surrender! No, I will never!" Upon hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Dian Wei roared at the heavens. He would never surrender! Never! As a war god in this age of firearms, although he didn't shine as brightly as the Dian Wei of Earth's history, he still possessed his own pride and an indomitable fighting spirit! "I will not surrender. If you want to fight, then fight," Dian Wei said to Gongsun Zan.

He turned to the more than one thousand soldiers from the former Bingzhou army behind him and said, "Put down your weapons. This is my battle, not yours."

Dian Wei said to Gongsun Zan, "I hope you will not make things difficult for these ordinary soldiers."

"Rest assured, I, General Gongsun, guarantee with the honor of the Gongsun family that I will not make things difficult for any soldier who lays down their weapons, after all, they are also members of Bingzhou." Gongsun Zan raised his right hand and swore to the heavens.

"That's good," Dian Wei said with a smile.

"Then let's go."

Although Dian Wei was the enemy of the entire Bingzhou army, he was also a war god. Everyone knew that if it weren't for the advent of firearms, this era would definitely belong to an unparalleled war god like Dian Wei. Others might not know, but the soldiers of Bingzhou knew it best. Dian Wei's achievements are still talked about in Bingzhou to this day. There were also battles at Hulao Pass and in Jizhou. Although Dian Wei, as the cavalry commander, was defeated, he still inflicted heavy damage on the Youzhou firearm cavalry. All these achievements show that Dian Wei had the potential to become a war god. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and did the wrong things.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Gongsun Zan still showed considerable respect to such a person.

"Let's fight!" Gongsun Zan said to Dian Wei.

"Lord Wen, I will only fire one volley. Whether I live or die, let fate decide," Gongsun Zan roared at Dian Wei, raising his spear as he spoke.

No one looked down on Gongsun Zan. After all, this was a life-or-death battle. They couldn't expect the musketeers to give up their strengths. The greatest respect one could show to their opponent was to give it their all. Dian Wei didn't say anything either; his eyes were filled with fervent fighting spirit.
