C2 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

Apart from Cui Yan, three of the other four generals were on par with Cui Yan. They were the commanders of the army. However, these three were not strong, and their abilities were ordinary.

The last one was called Huang Zhao. He was Cui Yan's deputy general, and he assisted Cui Yan in handling military affairs.

Zhang Xiu ignored Cui Yan's threat and looked at the four of them one by one. Finally, he returned to Cui Yan and said unhurriedly, "Cui Yan, if you want to kill me, you can do it yourself. Why encourage others? If you can kill me, the others will naturally be convinced."

The corner of Cui Yan's mouth twitched.

As the general of the army, he knew Zhang Xiu's martial arts very well. With his low level of martial arts, killing Zhang Xiu was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even if there were three or five of him, it would not be enough for Zhang Xiu to kill.

Therefore, Cui Yan had to work with the others.

Cui Yan ignored Zhang Xiu and continued to bewitch him. "Everyone, we have been in the army for many years. To be able to achieve what we are today, we exchanged it with real weapons on the battlefield. " Zhang Xiu, you little bastard, you want to order us? I can't accept this! Could it be that you are willing to accept his orders?"

Huang Zhao did not say a word, and the other three looked hesitant as well.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Listen to Cui Yan. That's the truth. But when you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense."

Cui Yan berated, "You fart!"

Zhang Xiu said," Don't tell me you smell fart? "

"You..."

Cui Yan was speechless when he heard Zhang Xiu's almost shameless words. He had never met Zhang Xiu like this. In the past, Zhang Xiu was not good with words and advocated martial arts. He was straightforward when he did things. He would start a fight if he did not agree with Zhang Xiu.

At this moment, Cui Yan hoped that Zhang Xiu would make a move. Lee Chen was killed just now because Lee Chen was unprepared, but Cui Yan had always been on guard against Zhang Xiu. As long as Zhang Xiu made a move, he would immediately dodge. He could also use this opportunity to lure the others to fight back and join forces to kill Zhang Xiu.

However, Zhang Xiu did not attack.

This made Cui Yan clench his teeth in hatred.

Zhang Xiu's expression was calm as he continued, "To tell you the truth, In my eyes, You, Cui Yan, are just a piece of trash. You, Cui Yan, want to seize power and stand on your own. "Don't even think about it. Even if you succeed in seizing power, how are you going to defend yourself from Liu Biao's pursuit?"

"Now that the army is short of food, with your little ability, can you solve the problem of food?"

"Obviously, you can't solve it."

"If you retreat without fighting and want to return to the pass, with your identity as Cui Yan, can you speak in front of Lee Jue and Guo Si?"

"Obviously, you won't be able to either."

"You, Cui Yan, can't handle it well."

At this moment, Zhang Xiu was incomparably strong. His words were even sharper. He said in a deep voice, "Not only can Cui Yan not handle it, but also Cui Yan. Even if the four of you were together, you wouldn't be able to solve the problem. "Only I can. Only then can we turn the tide. I can lead you to stop Liu Biao's army and obtain food for you. All of this. "All of this can only be done by me."

Zhang Xiu's. Zhang Xiu's words made everyone's hearts sink.

They had followed Lee Chen to force Zhang Xiu. They had never thought of this problem, because Lee Chen had experience and connections. If Lee Chen controlled the army, he should be able to get through the tough times.

But Cui Yan could not. Cui Yan was just a small leader. He had no connections, no martial power, no wisdom, and could not lead everyone out of the difficult situation.

Although Zhang Xiu was young, he was very different.

Zhang Xiu had made a name for himself when he was young, and his martial arts skills were very powerful. The key was that Zhang Xiu could talk in front of Lee Jue and Guo Si. After all, Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji's nephew, and he was acknowledged by Zhang Ji.

With this thought in mind, everyone began to pay attention to him.

Cui Yan saw their expressions and saw that each of them was moved. He immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "Zhang Xiu, you are arrogant and conceited. You are bluffing. You are just a little kid. You can't solve the current situation."

In Cui Yan's heart, he suddenly felt awkward and even somewhat regretful.

He shouldn't have been the leader.

For a moment, he wanted to be the first bird, so he jumped out to fight Zhang Xiu. Now, he was in a dilemma. However, he had already unsheathed his sword, and he couldn't take it back. He could only walk in the dark. Only by taking down Zhang Xiu could he survive. Otherwise, he would definitely be targeted by Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu saw that Cui Yan was getting anxious, a look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Without the ability, he still wanted to rebel.

He was overestimating himself.

Zhang Xiu's tone was calm. He continued, "I said that if it can be solved, it can be solved. A mere predicament, how could it be worth it? On the contrary, you, Cui Yan, took advantage of the time when the power of the army is alternating, and attempted to rebel. You should be punished for your crimes. "I believe that this is only what you, Cui Yan, think. It doesn't mean that everyone else thinks the same."

As he said this, Zhang Xiu's gaze fell on Huang Zhao. His gaze was profound.

Huang Zhao was being stared at by Zhang Xiu. When he recalled what Zhang Xiu said just now, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that Lee Chen was already dead. Looking at the situation just now, Cui Yan was no match for Zhang Xiu. Moreover, Zhang Xiu had said that Cui Yan was guilty and deserved to be punished. Clearly, he wanted to kill Cui Yan.

Huang Zhao gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart. His hand that was pressing on the hilt of the sword suddenly exerted force.

Clang!

The Longsword was unsheathed and Huang Zhao stabbed out with his sword.

"Cui Yan, you have offended your superiors, and you shall be punished!"

Huang Zhao's expression was cold, and he stabbed his sword into Cui Yan's heart.

"Huang Zhao, you..."

Cui Yan's eyes widened as an expression of disbelief appeared on his rough face. He never thought that his deputy would dare to kill him and pierce his heart with his sword. Cui Yan reached for his sword, but as soon as he moved, the sword in Huang Zhao's hand stirred and shattered Cui Yan's heart, then he pulled out the Longsword.

"Puff!"

Dark red blood spurted out from his chest and scattered on the ground.

Peng!

Cui Yan's sturdy body fell to the ground.

Huang Zhao threw away the Longsword and knelt on the ground with a thump. He kowtowed and said, "This general, Huang Zhao, greets Lord."

A smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's face.

He turned to the other three.

The three of them were stared at by Zhang Xiu. For some reason, they were panicking, especially when Lee Chen and Cui Yan were killed one after another, and Huang Zhao acknowledged Zhang Xiu as his master. They could no longer remain calm. They could only kneel down and say, "This general greets Lord!"

Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It is my honor to have all of you trust me. Please relax. Although we have lost, it is only temporary. "As long as I am here, I will definitely lead you out of this predicament. "Alright, get up."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Huang Zhao and the other three stood up and bowed.

Zhang Xiu ordered. Huang Zhao, you will personally lead the one thousand elites under Lee Chen's command. From today onwards, you will be a deputy general in the army. You will be below me and above all the generals."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Huang Zhao became excited when he heard that. He knew that he had made the right bet. He had killed Cui Yan to show his loyalty to Zhang Xiu. He had turned from a deputy general to a deputy general. He had become the second person in the army.

The other three didn't dare to say anything when they heard him.

Their impression of Zhang Xiu had changed. Facing Zhang Xiu, they could no longer maintain their calm and composure. They were filled with respect and fear.

The Zhang Xiu in front of them seemed to be a different person.

The death of Cui Yan was not so much Huang Zhao killing Cui Yan as Zhang Xiu borrowing a knife to kill someone. Zhang Xiu was very skilled in martial arts. He killed Cui Yan directly. However, the word 'rebellion' was Cui Yan's idea. It was not everyone's idea. It was just a warning to Huang Zhao.

If Huang Zhao didn't do anything, This meant that Huang Zhao was on Cui Yan's side. On the other hand, if Huang Zhao wanted to prove himself, he would have to act as the blade in Zhang Xiu's hand and kill Cui Yan for Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu had used Huang Zhao and promoted Huang Zhao to a higher position. It could be said that he had done both good and bad at the same time.

Such a Zhang Xiu made people wary.

The former Zhang Xiu was straightforward. He did not have any tricks or schemes. It was easy to deal with him. The Zhang Xiu in front of them did things one after another. They could not figure out what Zhang Xiu was thinking.

"Report!"

At this moment, an urgent voice sounded outside the tent.

Zhang Xiu said, "Come in!"

"Lord, wait!"

Huang Zhao pointed at the bodies of Lee Chen and Cui Yan on the ground and suggested, "Lord, they..."

Zhang Xiu interrupted, "There is no need to hide the death of Lee Chen and Cui Yan. Since the two of them are trying to rebel, they must let the public know and let all the soldiers know."

"Lord is wise!"

Huang Zhao did not say anything else.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a scout quickly entered. The moment the scout entered, he saw Lee Chen and Cui Yan's bodies. He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He lowered his head and said, "General, the scout has sent back news that Liu Biao's pursuers have arrived. They are less than ten miles away from us. The one leading the troops is the Jing Prefecture's General, Cai Mao."
