Early on the next morning, Zhang Wei and his soldiers left Zitong City and headed for Fu County.
But Zhang Wei never expected that as soon as he left the city, Liu Zhang was welcomed into Zitong City by Lei Tie.
Liu Zhang is still in a state of confusion. This happiness came too suddenly. While he was still waiting for the reinforcements to arrive and preparing to cooperate with Lei Tie, the news came that Lei Tie had taken control of Zitong City!
After much discussion with Xun You, Liu Zhang and Xun You even thought for a time that Lei Tie had rebelled! They came up with a trick to surrender!
In line with the principle of taking advantage of the situation, Liu Zhang came to Zitong City fully armed with all his elite men. The result was beyond everyone's expectation!
Lei Tie did not rebel at all. Zitong City was indeed under his control, and all three thousand defenders surrendered!
"My Lord, Zhang Wei has already gone to Fucheng. Zitong City is all under the general's control. There are three thousand defenders here. Please make your decision, Lord."
Liu Zhang got off his horse and helped Lei Tie, who was saluting him, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"General Lei, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Zhang didn't know what to say to express Lei Tie's achievements. In short, Lei Tie made great contributions!
"My lord, the matter is urgent and we will have to kidnap Zhang Wei!"
"Did you deceive Zhang Wei? How did you do it?"
Liu Zhang's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't expect Lei Tie to have such abilities. He couldn't help but secretly lamented that he had underestimated Lei Tie!
"My lord, there are many people at the moment, so we'd better go inside and talk to my lord in detail later."
Lei Tie's expression was very panicked, and his eyes were filled with eagerness.
"Let's go."
Liu Zhang took Xun You Dianwei with him and ordered the trapped troops to conduct a thorough investigation of the governor's house, and then took Lei Tie into the house.
"General Lei, tell me, what made you so panicked?"
"Lord, Master Liu is dead!"
Liu Zhang didn't react at the first moment and looked at Lei Tie in confusion.
"Mr. Liu Fu is dead? Which Mr. Liu Fu?"
Lei Tie's next words completely made the situation get out of control.
"Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan Liu Fujun!"
Liu Zhang finally realized that the person Lei Tie said was dead was his father!
"What did you say! Who died!"
Liu Zhang stepped forward directly, grabbed Lei Tie's shoulders with both hands, and shook him violently.
"Lord!"
Lei Tie was startled. He only felt that his body was tightly grasped and he could not move at all!
Xun You and Dian Wei were also shocked. This news was so shocking!
Liu Yan is dead?
"Evil is coming!"
Xun You was the first to react and quickly winked at Dian Wei.
Lei Tie was held down by Liu Zhang, and his expression was extremely painful. Dian Wei stepped forward directly and separated Liu Zhang and Lei Tie.
"Lord, calm down!"
Xun You also walked to Liu Zhang's side and kept shouting at him.
"Lord! Calm down!"
After all, it was Xun You's voice that had a greater impact on Liu Zhang, and finally calmed down Liu Zhang who had fallen into madness.
"Lei Tie, please tell me clearly what is going on!"
Lei Tie was also frightened by Liu Zhang, and Xun You asked him several times before he came back to his senses.
"Ah! Military advisor! I only got this news from Zhang Wei by chance! Zhang Lu had no troops to support Zhang Wei, so he sent someone to inform him that if Zitong cannot be defended, there are still 5,000 defenders in Fu County! At the end of the day,
The general knew that the matter was urgent, so he tricked Zhang Wei into going to Fu County alone, and the general guarded Zitong from the end, in order to tell the lord the news as soon as possible!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were dull, he looked straight at Lei Tie and asked softly,
"Where is my mother? Is there any news?"
Lei Tie kept swallowing, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead! He didn't know whether he should tell Liu Zhang the truth or not!
Liu Zhang saw through Lei Tie's thoughts at a glance and shouted loudly,
"explain!"
"My lord, no one in Mr. Liu's family except the third son, Liu Hao, is spared!"
Liu Zhang's eyes turned red, his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole arms were shaking!
"ah!"
After a loud shout, Liu Zhang fainted!
"Lord!"
"Someone! Go find the doctor!"
Liu Zhang's fainting caused the entire Zitong County to panic!
Yizhou administrative office, Mianzhu County, Guanghan County.
Mianzhu County has been under martial law for more than a month. All city gates are controlled by soldiers and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will.
The Zhou Mu Mansion was as usual, without any trace of mourning, as if Yizhou Mu Liu Yan had not died at all.
However, as Liu Yan's third son, Liu Hao was indeed dressed in filial piety at this time, but Liu Yan's body had long since disappeared!
There were five people sitting in the council chamber of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, four of whom were at the top of Yizhou’s power hierarchy!
Zhang Lu, Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi were on both sides, and Liu Hao was sitting on the main seat!
"My lords, my father and mother have been dead for some time, but now the mourning is not announced secretly. If the news is leaked, how will the people in the world look at me?"
Liu Hao has been pushed to the position of Yizhou Mu, but the four people here did not take him seriously. Liu Hao also knew this, and all matters were discussed with these four people.
"Lord Zhou Mu, now that Liu Zhang has attacked Zitong, if he is informed that the old Zhou Mu is dead, do you think he can let it go?"
Zhang Lu looked at Liu Hao with a sarcastic expression. He looked down on this waste from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Hao was both embarrassed and scared. He knew Liu Zhang's younger brother, and he was a god in military use! It was scary enough to defeat the Yellow Turbans and break up the Liangzhou rebels before. Recently, I heard that even the Kwantung Allied Forces had nothing to do with him, and he was killed in large numbers.
Flee in defeat!
"Hey! If Liu Zhang knows about our murder of my father, he will definitely kill us!"
Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi's faces darkened at the same time, and they glared at Liu Hao.
"Lord Zhou Mu, you can eat randomly, but can you also talk nonsense? What do you mean we are planning to kill Zhou Mu? Does Liu Yan's death have anything to do with us?"
"That's right! Don't throw the shit basin at us!"
"Looking at how timid you are, if you had one ten thousandth of Liu Zhang's talent, you wouldn't be scared like this!"
Jia Long and the other three spoke to each other, scolding Liu Hao without scruples, and their words were full of contempt!
Liu Hao didn't dare to talk back at all. He was so angry now! He was obsessed with ghosts at first, but he listened to Zhang Lu's words in a daze, and ended up where he is today!
Not only did he become someone else's puppet, but he also had the reputation of killing his father and mother!
He has taken the position of Zhou Mu, but what's the use? He has no power at all, and even these four people boss him around every day!
Thinking that Liu Zhang had killed Zitong, Liu Mao was filled with despair!
If Liu Zhang really killed Mianzhu, then Liu Hao must wipe his neck before being captured to avoid the suffering of innocent flesh and blood!
"Zhang Lu, you were the one who instigated me. If Liu Zhang comes in, none of you can escape!"
Anyway, he was dead. Liu Hao was fed up with this coward and pointed the finger directly at Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu's methods were so brutal that he couldn't stand Liu Hao stepping on his neck. He immediately narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of murderous intent.
