Zhang Zhao also led troops when he was young, and was not afraid of Shi Yi's aggressiveness. However, at this time, Zhang Zhao was old and frail, so he decided to be a good man and not suffer the immediate consequences.
The moment Shi Yi rushed over, Zhang Zhao grabbed the hem of his robe with both hands and ran away. Although the officials in the palace did not say anything, they looked down on Zhang Zhao in their hearts. Almost no one stopped the farce, only Yan Zhen chased after him. Shouted: "Ziyu, don't be reckless."
Shi Yi was so angry that he couldn't listen to Yan Zhen's advice. When he was about to catch up with Zhang Zhao, the other party detoured behind the pillar and started playing hide-and-seek with him.
"Old man, I have to kill you today." Shiyi walked around in a circle without catching up, and suddenly found a bronze lamp holder in the corner. He was suffering from the lack of weapons, so he ran over and took it in his hand.
When Zhang Zhao saw that it was okay, he clearly had murderous intentions. He took the opportunity to go around the palace door and shouted toward the door: "Ze Cheng, General Yu, come and help me!"
"No one can save you." Seeing Zhang Zhao running out of breath, Shiyi picked up the lamp holder and threw it at Zhang Zhao's vest.
Zhang Zhao was old and weak. After running a few times, he was so tired that he rested on the same spot. When the lamp holder was thrown towards him, he instinctively felt that he could not avoid it.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, a big hand appeared in front of Zhang Zhao, and Hu Ke caught the flying lamp holder with one hand.
Seeing Zhang Zhao's help, Shiyi ignored Hu Ke's shout of military uniform, and then yelled: "Yu Xiu, are you going to conspire with this man to rebel?"
Hu Ke raised his hand with a serious look on his face, and several confidants from outside the palace rushed in. Hu Ke pointed at Shi Yi and coldly ordered: "Drag him out."
"You dare." Shiyi's eyes were round.
Hu Ke did not continue to speak, and the soldier was not stopped by Shi Yi. He rushed forward and controlled Shi Yi, and then escorted him out of the palace.
Shi Yi continued to yell and curse, but Hu Ke acted as if he hadn't heard and calmly clasped his fists at Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu, you can continue the discussion. If there is such a wild and rebellious person again, I will come back to the palace to deal with it."
"Thank you." Zhang Zhao bowed his hand in return.
When Shiyi was escorted out by the soldiers, he kept saying unpleasant words. The officials all turned their heads and looked outside the palace out of curiosity. They were not sure whether this general, who was a businessman, could control Sun Quan's close ministers.
"Yu Xiu, you are just a down-and-out peddler and a bitch. You think you will be successful if you hang out with a woman from the Zhang family? How can you be where you are today without the kindness of the king? If you have the guts, compare with me. Without this Are you brave? A common man."
Shiyi's voice was very loud, and Zhang Wen's face in the palace suddenly became hot. Hu Ke ignored it at first, but when he heard the insult to the Zhang family, he ordered the soldiers to stop.
"What? Are you afraid of me? Trash." Shiyi said unforgivingly.
"Give him a sword. Since he wants to die so much, I will definitely make it happen." Hu Ke ordered in a deep voice.
Yiyuan didn't expect Hu Ke to be so brave. He only knew that the other party was a trafficker before, but he had actually been on the battlefield. The moment he got the weapon, he looked at Hu Ke with disdain: "Commander of the Left Division of Jiefanwei, I hope If you are worthy of this position, let me verify it for the king to see who he has chosen. You cannot command the army without real materials."
The battle was about to start outside the palace, and the officials in the palace had no other thoughts. They all crowded to the door to watch, but no one stopped them.
"Would you like to try it and find out if there are real materials?" Hu Ke raised the sword in his right hand and made a provocative movement with his left hand.
"You're looking for death." Shiyi drew his sword and rushed forward.
Facing Yi Yi's menacing stabbing, Hu Ke held the long sword and took it calmly. He was affiliated with the reconnaissance camp of the trapped army, and everyone there had excellent martial arts, so he was not a merchant in Yi's eyes.
"That's all." Hu Ke did not forget to ridicule during the battle.
Shiyi was a bit confused at this time. Hu Ke's martial arts was far beyond his imagination. He felt a little inadequate in terms of strength and skills. He realized that he had been too impulsive just now and planned to disrupt Zhang Zhao's surrender through his reckless behavior. The conspiracy now seems to have gone too far.
锵锵锵
After a fierce fight with each other, Shi Yi was a little weak, but he had no shame to beg for mercy from the other party, he just hoped that his defeat would not be too ugly.
Hu Ke suddenly sped up, but Shi Yi couldn't keep up with the rhythm and exposed his flaw. He only saw a flash of green light in front of his neck, blood spurting out from the incision, and then he fell heavily on the steps.
"It seems that I am worthy of this position. Please clean up here." Hu Ke sheathed his sword as he spoke, and the soldiers next to him immediately went to carry the body.
All the officials in the palace looked at Zhang Wen in astonishment and said to themselves that your brother-in-law seems to be not simple. Although most of them have never been on the battlefield, they can all see that Hu Ke's strength is far superior to Shi Yi. This is the legendary Yu The shopkeeper of his trading company?
Hu Ke climbed the steps and walked to the entrance of the palace. He clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Zhao and others and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's discussion. The general is guarding outside the palace. If there is still trouble, just call me into the palace."
"Uh, General, take care of yourself." Zhang Zhao took the lead and responded with fists.
After the little episode just now, everyone saw that Hu Ke obeyed Zhang Zhao's orders, so no one dared to question Zhang Zhao's decision.
"Mr. Zibu, since we have decided to submit to the King of Hanzhong, do we need to do anything?" Zhang Wen continued to send a message to Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao nodded lightly: "Huishu reminds me that since we have decided to submit to the King of Hanzhong, the soldiers Ziheng brought to Pingxiang should not die in vain due to lack of food. We must find a way to save them."
"May I ask how to save him?" Gu Yong asked quickly.
"I can only explain everything by writing a letter. We immediately mobilize our relatives and friends to write letters to the soldiers on the front line, urging them to give up resistance and surrender to Mr. Lanfu. This may save some people." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he glanced outside the palace. He thought that Hu Ke's plan was really vicious. If these letters were sent to the front line, Lu Fan would collapse overnight.
Hu Ke didn't know that Zhang Zhao was muttering to him. There were actually traces of what Lan Tian ordered him to do. In history, Lu Meng did this in his sneak attack on Jingzhou. He just used his spear to attack his shield.
The officials in the palace also understood and secretly ridiculed Zhang Zhao for relying on his old age in Soochow. He usually didn't offer many useful tips, but once he chose to surrender, his brain was very useful.
"When will these letters be required? Besides, we are gathering here today, if the news is leaked..." Zhang Wen stood up and sang the double act again.
"The sooner you do it, the better. We have to collect it by tomorrow at the latest. As for the information not being leaked, General Yu has sealed off Jianye and none of us can get out." Zhang Zhao said meaningfully.
Gu Yong asked in surprise: "Ah? How long will the city be closed for?"
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and replied: "When will the King's army arrive and when will General Yu open the city? But you don't have to worry too much. Everyone's lives will not be affected in any way. The order in the city is guaranteed by the trouble-shooting guards, and there will be no problem with daily material consumption." , don’t forget that General Yu is a businessman."
