Chapter 218

"Celestial Master, say something!"

"If you don't make a statement, it will be completely over once the enemy attacks the city!"

This group of civil officials and military generals did not want to fight the Dong Zhuo army at all.

But they were also embarrassed to directly persuade Zhang Lu to surrender.

Therefore.

At this moment, they could only keep beating around the bush, hoping Zhang Lu could hear the subtext in their words.

Yang Song, standing beside Zhang Lu, forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart at this moment.

Subsequently, he spoke slowly:

"Celestial Master, I believe we should immediately seize the time to negotiate with the commander of the Dong Zhuo army."

"If they can provide proper resettlement conditions, then it won't be too late for us to surrender."

"If they can't, then we will definitely follow the Celestial Master to defend this city until the very last moment!"

Yang Song's slogan was shouted very loudly.

But in reality, for Zhang Lu to have fallen into his current situation, Yang Song had to bear at least fifty percent of the responsibility.

What he was thinking at this moment was, as long as Zhang Lu agreed to go and negotiate with the Dong Zhuo army on the opposite side.

Then he would definitely take the initiative to apply to be the envoy and go to the Dong Zhuo army's camp.

In this way, wouldn't he be able to escape the dangerous situation?

However, Yang Song had calculated everything, but he had miscalculated one point.

He saw Yan Pu, with disheveled hair and red eyes.

Running over from not far away with anger on his face.

He roared sternly:

"Celestial Master! You must not believe the ghost talk of this scoundrel Yang Song!"

"The reason Generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren were annihilated was entirely because this scoundrel Yang Song reported false military intelligence!"

"He had already secretly colluded with the Dong Zhuo army on the opposite side."

These words fell into Zhang Lu's ears without a single error.

There was no change in the expression on his face.

He just waved his hand slightly, signaling the few personal guards beside him to drag Yan Pu away.

Although Yan Pu struggled with all his might.

But he was just a scholar with no strength to truss a chicken.

He simply couldn't resist the few personal guards under Zhang Lu's command.

Seeing Yan Pu being dragged away.

Yang Song's hanging heart finally fell.

"Pfft!"

Before Yang Song could recover.

He saw his abdomen had been pierced by a sharp sword!

The one wielding the sword was Zhang Lu himself.

"Celestial Master… you…"

Yang Song looked at Zhang Lu in disbelief.

The latter just shook his head slightly, pulled out his sword, and kicked Yang Song's corpse under the city with one foot.

"Did you really think I, the Celestial Master, was a fool you could manipulate?"

"I, the Celestial Master, have indeed been defeated, defeated by your secret collusion, you despicable villain."

"But… even if I, the Celestial Master, am to surrender, I don't need you, this scoundrel, to guide me!"

A cold light flashed in Zhang Lu's eyes.

Many people thought Zhang Lu was just a mediocre ruler who only knew how to hold onto what he had.

Yet they didn't know that historically, he was able to entrench himself in Hanzhong for nearly thirty years in troubled times, firmly grasping the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in his hands, and more importantly, he was ruthless and decisive!

Historically, Zhang Lu resisted Xia Houyuan's expeditionary army for nearly half a year.

In the end, he had no choice but to surrender to them.

But after surrendering, Zhang Lu still lived peacefully in the Wei Kingdom for nearly twenty years.

His sons and grandsons even obtained hereditary titles.

According to the rules of the Cao camp that cities must be slaughtered after being besieged, Zhang Lu had resisted for half a year, so he should have been beheaded long ago.

But he was able to use the few chips he had left in his hands to win a good surrender condition.

This is enough to show Zhang Lu's ruthlessness and ability to judge the situation!

And now.

The reason Zhang Lu wanted to kill Yang Song was not to vent his anger.

But because Yang Song's existence was equivalent to a middleman.

After getting rid of Yang Song.

Zhang Lu could negotiate a surrender with the Dong Zhuo army on the opposite side with better conditions.

However.

Because the Dong Zhuo army under Gu Yi's leadership was pressing hard.

The chips Zhang Lu had left were not many.

Thinking of this.

He turned and instructed the captain of his personal guards:

"Go and call Mei'er over."

The Mei'er Zhang Lu spoke of was his own younger sister, Zhang Mei.

She was also the current Saintess of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.
