Chapter 1071: Zi Yu Becomes King, Wu Luan Dies

Zi Yu, the former commander-in-chief of Pei State, was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard the news of King Pei's surrender.

I don’t know how long it took.

When he woke up, he saw a nervous-looking general kneeling beside him:

"Commander-in-chief, please wake up!"

Tian Zhan looked towards his benefactor with eyes full of worry and panic.

Zi Yu coughed several times and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. With red eyes, he looked at his former general:
"Tian Zhan, what is the situation outside now? Has the lord really surrendered?"

"Yes, it took the Han army only one hour to capture Jingzhou yesterday. When the news came, the lord panicked."

Tian Zhan sighed:
"Early this morning, 50,000 Han troops came to attack by boat. The lord was afraid of the enemy, so he... surrendered directly."

After hearing the detailed news again, Zi Yu was able to control his emotions, but his eyes were bloodshot, making him look murderous.

With Tian Zhan serving him, Zi Yu drank a sip of herbal tea and slowly regained his composure. A crazy idea gradually arose in his mind:

"The King of Pei is so unjust that he actually handed over the foundation of our Pei Kingdom to others!"

"I, Zi Yu, will now take the throne of Pei and swear to live and die with Pei. Tian Zhan, are you willing to follow me?"

Tian Zhan immediately knelt down and said:
"Tian Zhan swears to follow the Grand Commander until death!"

Tian Zhan said, his eyes also filled with murderous intent:
"Commander-in-chief, the Han emperor has no son. If we can assassinate the Han emperor tonight, the Han Kingdom will surely fall apart! Our Pei Kingdom might be able to rise up!"

"That's right, Tian Zhan, go gather your troops immediately, and we'll go to the temple and assassinate the Han emperor!"

Grand Commander Zi Yu and Tian Zhan had exactly the same idea, and his crazy thoughts made him unable to see other dangers.

Not long after.

Su Mingzhe, who was drinking happily in the temple, was still thinking about what method and excuse he could use to bring Princess Qingping and Xiao Ai into the harem.

The Yulin Guards who were on guard outside the door suddenly ran in hurriedly:

"Report, Your Majesty, Pei State's Grand Commander Zi Yu is leading a rebellion and is heading straight to the imperial court with his troops!"

Su Mingzhe was stunned, and when he expanded his spiritual sense, he immediately noticed that outside the temple, dozens of warships were filled with Pei State soldiers.

The Grand Commander Zi Yu actually attacked the imperial palace despite being injured.

Su Mingzhe's eyes flashed with joy, but his face was furious:
"Nonsense, aren't Grand Commander Zi Yu and Madam Xiao Ai here drinking with me? Where did Grand Commander Zi Yu come from?"

The Yulin Guard was startled, looked up at the panicking Zi Yu couple, and understood what he meant:
"Your Majesty, the man outside looks very similar to Grand Commander Zi Yu, and he is flying the Grand Commander's flag, and he is accompanied by General Tian Zhan of Pei State..."

Su Mingzhe's face was full of confusion and bewilderment, and he turned his gaze directly to Peiliang:

"Pei Gong, how many great commanders Zi Yu do you have in Pei State?"

"Your Majesty, this... this should be the shadow substitute of the Grand Commander!"

At this point, Peiliang naturally didn't dare to conceal the matter of the Grand Commander any longer, and hurriedly and stumblingly told him all the news he knew.

"Shadow double?"

Su Mingzhe looked at Jingzhou curiously, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Ai's frightened face:
"Madam Xiao Ai, Pei Gong said that the great commander beside you is a fake. Is he real or fake?"

"What Pei Gong said is true!"

As the wife of the governor, Xiao Ai knew very well that there were 50,000 Han troops surrounding the Pei State temple, while her husband Zi Yu had only two or three thousand troops.

If the Han army was not prepared, her husband would still have a slight chance of survival.

But now, the result is already determined and it will fail.

Madam Xiao Ai didn't want to die, so now she could only crawl on the ground, put her white forehead on the cold floor, and kneel down to beg the Han Emperor for forgiveness.

"It turns out to be a fake!"

Seeing that his wife Xiao Ai was so "aware of the current situation", Su Mingzhe smiled and said to the Yulin Guards with satisfaction:
"Take this fake Grand Commander out and sacrifice him to the emperor!"

Jingzhou wanted to resist, but his fighting power was no match for the Yulin Guards.

The four Yulin Guards easily captured him.

As for the rebellion of Grand Commander Zi Yu, it did not have any impact on the banquet.

There are 50,000 Han soldiers guarding outside the temple. If the Grand Commander Zi Yu really sneaks into the temple with his men, he might be able to make some noise.

However, now, before they even got close to the temple, their traces were discovered.

How could he possibly succeed in attacking 50,000 Han troops with only three or four thousand men under his command?
Less than half an hour.

The sounds of fighting and killing outside began to fade away.

Another half hour passed.

Two Yulin Guards came in holding two trays:

"Your Majesty, the rebels Zi Yu and Tian Zhan refused to surrender. Generals Fenwei and Zhenwei beheaded them. Here are their heads!"

"Take it!"

Su Mingzhe's spiritual awareness was constantly expanding, so he naturally saw the scene where the Grand Commander Zi Yu and his general Tian Zhan were killed.

When this person dies, all is over.

Su Mingzhe was not in the mood to argue with two dead people.

However, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Su Mingzhe can be magnanimous and magnanimous.

However, his troops will not need magnanimity.

The Yulin Guards directly searched for people based on the records and arrested the entire families of the Zi and Tian families in Peidi.

the next day.

After Su Mingzhe got up with the help of the two beauties Xiao Ai and Qing Ping, he went to the window and saw the river water outside had turned red.

Looking at the red river water, Qingping and Xiaoai both looked sad and grief-stricken.

Overnight, one woman lost her country and another lost her husband.

Fortunately in misfortune.

Although Qingping's country was destroyed, his only relative, his brother, is still alive, and he no longer has to worry about someone wanting their heads at night.

Although Xiao Ai lost her husband, she only lost an unworthy man, and Su Mingzhe soon filled her emptiness.

Had breakfast.

Su Mingzhe sat idly in front of the window, listening to Xiao Ai playing the piano and watching Qingping dancing, but his mind was elsewhere.

The four states of Pei have been swallowed up, and the next step is to attack Southern Wu.

According to the Imperial City Bureau, Li Sheng, also known as Xu Zhigao, has decided to usurp the throne. The accurate information should be available within the next one or two days.

Su Mingzhe had no intention of attacking Southern Wu until the news arrived.

The days of waiting are boring.

In the following half month.

Accompanied by Xiao Ai and Qing Ping, Su Mingzhe traveled throughout the four states of Pei and also sent people from Luoyang to take over the four places.

Early April.

Xu Zhigao forced the Emperor of Wu to abdicate, restored his surname to Li, changed his name to Li Sheng, established the Tang Kingdom, and proclaimed himself emperor.

When the news reached Pei, Su Mingzhe immediately prepared an army of 100,000 to attack Southern Tang.

As a result, news came that after Li Sheng ascended the throne, he was preparing for war at the junction of the Han and Tang dynasties, while personally leading the army to attack the Wuyue Kingdom.

Hear the news.

Su Mingzhe decided to temporarily suspend the offensive against Southern Tang and first deal with the "little brother" Nanping Kingdom next to him.

The reason is also very simple.

King Gao Jichang of Nanping was poisoned to death by his sworn brother Li Xi.

After poisoning the King of Nanping, Li Xi proclaimed himself king and sent people to the Han Dynasty and Southern Tang to request the Emperor of Han and the Emperor of Tang to enthrone him as the official King of Nanping.

I really want to eat shit!
