Chapter 202

~6 min read 1,008 words

In the future... he had a great possibility of becoming the number one figure!

And besides his status and position,

Gu Yi was also the "ultimate poisonous strategist" whom no one in the Dong Zhuo army dared to provoke.

The three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, hearing Gu Yi's deterrence, no longer had the courage to say anything rebellious.

The fact that the three of them could still stand instead of collapsing to the ground was already an extremely difficult thing!

"Gu... Strategist Gu, what do you want us to do for you?"

"We are at your disposal!"

Song Xian was the most quick-witted of the three.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Gu Yi.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, seeing that Song Xian had already surrendered, also hurriedly followed him in expressing their willingness to accept Gu Yi's orders.

"Very good, you three are all talents worth molding."

"It was not in vain that I put in so much effort."

"Since that is the case, then I will give you three a task."

"After completing this task,"

"your official positions will be officially promoted to Captain!"

"Bang!"

The three of them hurriedly straightened their backs and said to Gu Yi with excited expressions:

"Please rest assured, Strategist! Even if we have to risk our lives, we will definitely complete the Strategist's commission!"

Gu Yi showed an expression of "a child worth molding."

Immediately, he informed the three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, of this task.

After listening, the bodies of the three kept trembling.

Sure enough,

wealth is sought in danger.

This task was truly using their lives to complete it!

However,

at this moment, they were already like Wang Yun, with no choice but to be manipulated by Gu Yi.

The next day,

Wang Yun suddenly announced his intention to resign from the position of Magistrate of Chang'an.

And the person who forced him to resign was none other than Wang Yun himself.

But... this was just the beginning.

Li Li, a subordinate general under Li Jue, suddenly committed suicide out of fear of punishment in the camp without any warning.

The Bingzhou faction, upon hearing this news, cheered endlessly.

But that same evening, a "mutiny" suddenly broke out in the Bingzhou faction's camp!

The leaders of the mutiny were none other than the three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.

The three of them took a portion of the soldiers and threatened to defect to the Xiliang loyalists.

Gao Shun and Cao Xing hurriedly led troops to stop them.

The two sides fought fiercely.

The number of dead exceeded one hundred!

Wei Xu and Song Xian were even wounded on the spot by Gao Shun.

Hou Cheng was shot in the ear by an arrow from Cao Xing, almost becoming "one-eared."

This matter went directly to old Dong.

The angry old Dong ordered the Minister of Justice, Gu Yi, to be fully responsible for handling the mutiny of the Bingzhou army.

Gu Yi first stripped the three of them, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, of their military power and positions.

Subsequently, he scattered all the soldiers who had followed them in the rebellion and incorporated them into other armies.

However, Gao Shun and Cao Xing, as well as the soldiers who followed them to stop Wei Xu and the others from rebelling, were also punished.

It was equivalent to the Bingzhou faction directly losing five high-ranking officials!

The five people who were stripped of their positions—Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Gao Shun, and Cao Xing—were sentenced to one month in the Chang'an prison.

After sentencing the five of them,

in the current Bingzhou faction, besides Zhang Liao, who had already become the Garrison Commander of Hulao Pass,

only Cheng Lian and Hao Meng remained by Lu Bu's side.

But Hao Meng had previously been heavily beaten with thirty lashes,

and his injuries had not yet fully healed,

so he could only lie in bed every day to recover.

Cheng Lian was a pure brute and not worth using for big things.

Lu Bu looked back

and suddenly discovered that he had almost become a commander of nothing.

But for all this, Lu Bu could not blame others,

because everything was the Bingzhou faction rebelling on its own.

A military mutiny with over a hundred casualties, and in the capital city of Chang'an, the impact of this matter could be called extremely bad!

Even if Lu Bu wanted to appeal for the group of people under his command, he couldn't find a reason to appeal.

If he had to blame someone, it seemed he could only blame himself...

Even Gao Shun was temporarily sent to the Chang'an prison.

The lonely Lu Bu could only sit in his residence alone, drinking gloomy wine.

Suddenly,

his daughter, Lu Lingqi, walked to his side in silence.

At this moment, Lu Bu no longer had the intention of urging his daughter to practice martial arts as he had in the past.

He just kept drinking gloomy wine.

Lu Lingqi didn't speak, sitting quietly beside her father.

Suddenly,

a knock on the door sounded outside Lu Fu.

Lu Lingqi went to open the door on Lu Bu's behalf.

The person who came was carrying a pot of osmanthus wine, wearing a black robe, and his looks were second only to all the handsome readers!

Yes, this person was none other than Gu Yi.

It was he who caused the high-ranking officials of the Bingzhou faction to be stripped of five people in one go!

However,

he didn't know what shame was at all.

He saw him smiling and carrying the osmanthus wine, greeting Lu Lingqi, and then walking into Lu Fu on his own.

"General Fengxian, don't be depressed. I've come to drink with you and bring you some good news by the way!"

Gu Yi said loudly.

In his pocket, one could vaguely see something resembling an imperial decree.
