Chapter 340

As a general in charge of tens of thousands of troops, he was not stupid.

Continuing to resist now was a dead end.

And at this time, the new Emperor gave them a way out.

If they didn't grasp it, there would be no chance.

Originally, Zheng Zheng Zili was still hesitating.

But now Peng Xiang killed five soldiers as soon as he came, which made him feel that he was no longer trusted.

Even if he was loyal to Wei Pao, Wei Pao would no longer believe him.

192. Peng Xiang's Death Date

"General, time is of the essence, make your decision quickly!" The deputy general said.

"You immediately take people to ambush outside Peng Xiang's residence; be careful not to let them discover you, those people he brought are experts!"

Zheng Zheng Zili said.

"Is the General going to..." The deputy general made a beheading gesture.

"You understand well." Zheng Zheng Zili nodded and handed his token to the deputy general: "Take this; seeing it is like seeing me. Whoever does not obey the order will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Please rest assured, General, I will do it right away!" The deputy general said immediately.

After leaving the main tent, the deputy general immediately took his trusted aides to the station.

Immediately after, he called his subordinates to his presence and then took out Zheng Zheng Zili's token.

"Everyone look clearly, this is the General's token!"

"I am acting on behalf of the General now; whoever does not listen to me is not listening to the General!"

The deputy general said in a low voice.

"We will strictly obey the military order!" Everyone said one after another.

"Good, now you each take one hundred people and surround the rebel's residence from four directions."

"If you encounter resistance, kill them directly!"

The deputy general said.

"Rebel? Who rebelled?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"It's the newly arrived Special Guard, the leader is named Peng Xiang. They are few in number but each is highly skilled, so I want you to prepare archers and spearmen; don't let them get close during the battle!" The deputy general said.

"Peng Xiang rebelled? Wasn't he just sent?" Someone was puzzled.

"He rebelled against the First Emperor and the new Emperor!" The deputy general said in a low voice: "Everyone has seen what is written on the kites; I think I don't need to say more!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but soon calmed down.

Everyone knew about the kite incident, and many people had thought about whether to surrender.

It was just that no one dared to open their mouth.

Now that the deputy general was holding the Grand General's token and saying this, it meant the General already had plans.

"Wei Pao killed our soldiers as soon as he came; he did this to seize our power and doesn't trust us. No matter what we do, they will deal with us in the end, so it's better to strike first!"

An officer said.

"That's right, we are no longer trusted; instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to obey the orders of the First Emperor and the new Emperor!" Another person said.

"Has the Grand General made up his mind?" Someone asked.

"If the Grand General hadn't made up his mind, would he have handed the token to me?" The deputy general said.

Everyone knew he was Zheng Zheng Zili's trusted aide, and now that he had the token in his hand, everyone no longer doubted Zheng Zheng Zili's determination.

Soon, the four people acted separately.

And the deputy general himself selected one hundred elite soldiers and made preparations.

When the time was about right, estimating that the personnel in the other four directions were in place, the deputy general led the elite soldiers toward Peng Xiang's residence.

And at this time, it was already dark, and Peng Xiang had just lain down on the bed when he heard footsteps outside, as if many people were walking toward here.

"What happened outside?" Peng Xiang asked, propping himself up on the bed.

"Many people have come; it's hard to see who they are in the night." A Special Guard said.

Peng Xiang frowned and immediately climbed off the bed.

After dressing, he saw lights suddenly light up outside.

He saw a group of soldiers in front holding torches, roughly estimating there were dozens or even more.

Coming over with torches at this time, what did they want to do?

Peng Xiang's heart was beating fast.

And his several subordinates also put their hands on the sword hilts.

"Captain Peng, aren't you asleep?" The deputy general walked forward a few steps and asked loudly.

"General Wang, what happened?" Peng Xiang asked.

"Nothing, I just came to take a look, and by the way, ask why you killed my fellow townsmen." Deputy General Wang said lightly.

"Your fellow townsmen? Did I kill your fellow townsmen?" Peng Xiang asked.

"Why, you just killed them and hung their heads on the tree, and you forgot so quickly?" Deputy General Wang asked back.

"You mean those people who read the kites on their own? They violated military law, they deserved to die!" Peng Xiang said.

"You said they deserved to die; did you ask me? Did you ask General Zheng?" Deputy General Wang said.

"I am the Special Guard Captain, sent by Lord Wei; I have the right to deal with them without your consent!" Peng Xiang said.

"You privately beheaded soldiers without the Grand General's consent; are you trying to ruin General Zheng's reputation? Who doesn't know that our General Zheng loves his soldiers like his own children, and you came and did the thing of privately killing soldiers; you are violating military orders!" Deputy General Wang said.

"Where is the Grand General? I want to see him!" Peng Xiang glanced at the many soldiers behind Deputy General Wang, feeling that things were not good, thinking it was better to see the Grand General.

At that time, apologize to General Zheng face-to-face; although he would lose some face, he could be safer.

"Want to see the Grand General? You can, you hand over your weapons and kneel down, then I will take you to see the Grand General!" Deputy General Wang said.

"General Wang, you are bullying people too much! I was sent by Lord Wei!" Peng Xiang said in anger and shame.

"What kind of Lord Wei, he is just a rebel!" Deputy General Wang cursed.

"What, you dare to curse Lord Wei as a rebel? Are you trying to rebel?" Peng Xiang was shocked.

"Everyone listen, this is General Zheng's token. General Zheng has ordered to arrest the rebel Peng Xiang. If you encounter resistance, kill them without mercy!" Deputy General Wang held the token in his hand and said loudly.

"Kneel down!" A minor general shouted at Peng Xiang.

Other soldiers leveled their weapons, with spear tips pointing at Peng Xiang and the others.

"Rebel, rebel, you rebelled, Lord Wei will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces when he finds out!" Peng Xiang was shocked and angry.

"The one surnamed Wei won't know!" Deputy General Wang waved his hand: "Shoot arrows!"

The front row of soldiers suddenly knelt on one knee, and the archers in the back row shot at Peng Xiang and the others.

Peng Xiang and the others were not prepared at all.

Their martial arts were not bad, but they had no shields in their hands and were at a certain distance from the archers.

In this situation, they could only use the weapons in their hands to block the arrows.

But the number of arrows was very large, and they couldn't block them at all.

In an instant, most of Peng Xiang's subordinates were dead or injured, and Peng Xiang was also hit by two arrows.

He retreated desperately into the room.

When he returned to the room, he found that only one subordinate had followed him.

And at this time, several more arrows were shot in through the window.

"Quick, get down!" Peng Xiang immediately lay on the ground.

His subordinate was only half a beat slow, and was hit by several arrows.

Immediately after, footsteps were heard outside.

Peng Xiang sighed; he knew he was finished.

The ones rushing over outside must be spearmen.

Let alone being injured, even if he wasn't injured, he was no match for the many spearmen.

Bang... Pfft...

The door was knocked open, and a spear pierced into Peng Xiang's body.

Then several more spears pierced over.

Peng Xiang's body suddenly had several holes.
