Chapter 172 Finally wash my stains
Li Jue was very close to Zhu Jun at that time, and he knew that Zhu Jun had always been low-key and had no precautions against Zhu Jun at all. As a result, it was too late to get between his elbows and armpits. With a puff, Zhu Jun's dagger stabbed directly into his chest. Although he was wearing a breastplate, the dagger, which was as sharp as mud, stabbed in without any obstacles.
In an instant, blood gushed, Li Jue's armor was stained red by his own blood, and Zhu Jun's face was also splashed with blood, which looked very ferocious and terrifying.
"Zhu Jun, you, you are so brave!" Li Jue staggered and wanted to retreat, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jun pulled out the dagger in his hand and stabbed him again, stabbing him for more than a dozen times before stopping.
"You thief bully the emperor and harm the people. I have tolerated you for a long time. It's so great to be able to eliminate thieves for the country with your own hands today." Zhu Jun laughed and said with a laugh.
"Uncle!" Hu Feng was shocked when he saw Li Jue assassination. In his rage, he immediately ordered the soldiers and soldiers rushed forward and killed Zhu Jun.
However, Zhu Jun's expression remained unchanged and laughed loudly: "Today I finally washed away my stains. Zhu Jun is in the nine springs and has no shame to meet the former emperor."
The assassination of Li Jue shocked all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and even the emperor couldn't help but cry and said, "The Taiwei is really a loyal minister in the country! I am all incompetent, and I can't save the Taiwei's life!"
Many soldiers around him shed tears when they saw this scene.
In fact, although this scene happened on the top of the city, some people under the city saw it. Pei Qing, Zang Ba and others were all shocked when they saw this scene. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked very respectful. Liu Bei's expression was quite heavy. He sighed softly: "Mr. Zhu is the unparalleled national soldier of my great Han Dynasty. He had led his army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and settled our country. Now he has bravely assassinated the thief chief Li Jue. Such a martyr is no less than that of ancient times. Yu Rang is respectable and admirable."
After surrendering to Pei Qing, Zhang Chao, Zhu Fu and others who were beside Pei Qing were crying. Zhu Fu even cried loudly, vomited blood for several buckets, and even almost fainted.
Until today, they understood Zhu Jun. From the beginning to now, Zhu Jun has not changed. His ambition to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country has always been hidden in his heart, but he had to endure it in order to find opportunities.
It has to be said that Zhu Jun was too ungrateful and many people were concealed, including Li Jue and Guo Si. This made Li Jue think that Zhu Jun was full of dusk energy. He was no longer the energetic Zhu Jun back then. He could give up anything for his position, including his army. After learning that his son Zhu Fu betrayed, he immediately announced that he would cut off his father-son relationship with him. This cowardly personality made Li Jue and Guo Si forget that he had led the army to form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo, but they didn't think about it. Zhu Jun was not even afraid of Dong Zhuo, so how could he be afraid of Li Jue and Guo Si? He had always been tolerant before, and his real purpose was for the future of the Han Dynasty, not for himself.
At the most critical moment of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Jun stepped forward again. Just when the emperor on the city was about to face a life-and-death crisis, he took the most direct, rough and effective way to kill Li Jue, because he knew that although Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and Yang Ding had some strength, they could not resist Li Jue's attack at all. At most, they would be killed in just a cup of tea. Pei Qing could not break through Chang'an at this point. Although Pei Qing was both wise and brave, he was not politically experienced enough and could easily be coerced by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor gave him favor, but he also became his constraint. Unless he was by his side, he would be easily constrained.
Since Pei Qing is in a dilemma, he will solve this problem for Pei Qing. This is also his thanks to Pei Qing.
After all, it is precisely because of Pei Qing that his son Zhu Fu has achieved his current achievements, which is also what he is most pleased with.
Zhu Fu has now grown into a famous general. On the night when Zhu Fu advised him, he tested Zhu Fu's abilities and felt that Zhu Fu now has the ability of a famous general, especially the ability to shout out tens of thousands of troops, which he could not even do. Since he succeeded, he could leave with greater peace of mind.
At this time, because of Zhu Jun's death, Pei Qing also had a gray face and shouted at the top of the city: "Guo Duo, now you are the only one in the city with the highest prestige and the strongest strength. I will say the last thing, hand over the thief Hu Feng and release the emperor and all officials back. I can never wait for death. Otherwise, I will fight and attack Chang'an. Not only will you defeat the usurpation bandits and throw them into ashes, but you will also kill your nine clans to comfort the loyal soul!"
Guo Si sighed after hearing this. He knew that with the current Xiliang army, there were constant internal and external troubles, and there was no ability to stop Pei Qing from siegeing the city. Even if Pei Qing was a little cruel, he would not have to siege the city. He would be besieged in the city for several months. Everyone in the city would starve to death because of it. Therefore, it was not a problem to resist like this.
So he waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to capture Hu Feng.
Seeing this, Hu Feng immediately said loudly: "Guo Duo, do you want to kill me? Do you know that the current situation is the only way to break the thief with one heart. If you kill me, the final outcome will definitely be impossible to escape death?"
Guo Si smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still have a choice now? I know I will die, but I can't implicate my tribes because of my death. Haven't you heard that Pei Qing wants to kill the nine tribes? Such a serious criminal law has never been done since ancient times. I can't implicate all the people of the nine tribes for my own selfishness, right? So, my nephew, you can only be sacrificed now."
Then Guo Si shouted to the soldiers under his command: "What are you still standing there? Take Hu Feng quickly. If anyone dares to resist, he will be treated as drunk!"
Guo Si's last sentence was told to Hu Feng's soldiers that if they dared to continue fighting with Hu Feng, they would be executed, and even a disaster of genocide. Who else dared to take action in this situation? They could only watch Hu Feng be killed without help.
"Haha, old man Guo Duo, you killed me to protect yourself. I will die without hatred, but I believe that it won't take long to see you in the underworld."
After Hu Feng finished speaking, he pulled out his sword from his waist and committed suicide.
