Chapter 632 The Bingzhou Aristocratic Families Exit the Stage of History! Chen Gong Still Wants to R
"Order a retreat immediately!"
Chen Gong was impatient.
Seeing that they had no chance of winning, they quickly told Wang Chang to make a run for it.
Wang Chang obeyed and gave the order to sound the retreat.
But the soldiers seemed hesitant, unsure whether to trust Wang Ling or Lu Xun.
Chen Gong had obviously run away many times and was experienced.
He grabbed Wang Chang's sleeve and led him away at breakneck speed into the distance.
But Lu Xun was no pushover either.
On the city wall, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Wang Chang below the city.
Nearly half of the garrison, led by Wang Ling, chased after the enemy outside the city.
Wang Chang turned tail and ran, with Wang Ling in hot pursuit.
Upon seeing this, a playful glint appeared in Lu Xun's eyes.
Half an incense stick later, he entered Wang Ling's residence to collect a series of evidence of Wang Ling's two-faced crimes in recent years.
Bingzhou has no need for powerful families, and naturally, it has no need for Wang Ling.
If he's sensible, he can be allowed to continue serving as an official in another place.
If they are not sensible, then they can pin the blame for Wang Ling's death on Wang Chang, Dong Zhao, or Ju Zong, Hua Xin, and others.
Poor Wang Ling had no idea that after dealing with the little rascal Dong Zhao, he was about to be confronted by the big, hungry wolf Lu Xun!
……
Wang Ling couldn't wait to kill Wang Chang and avenge his previous humiliation.
Throughout the chase, it was like they were sprinting; their movement speed was ridiculously fast!
"Wang Chang, prepare to die!"
With a single stroke of his sword, Wang Ling severed one of Wang Chang's arms.
Wang Chang was also desperate, but he had no way to fight back.
Besides Wang Ling's sword, he also had an arrow stuck in his chest, and the intense pain almost made him faint.
More and more of the troops guarding Huguan realized they had been deceived by Wang Chang and chose to defect on the spot.
Only a small number of loyal followers remained among the soldiers willing to follow Wang Chang.
Finally, Wang Chang collapsed to the ground, powerless.
"Cough cough..."
“Wang Ling, as far as I know, you should have already been locked up by Dong Zhao.”
"How could this be... Could it be that you killed Dong Zhao?"
Wang Chang swallowed cow dung as he struggled to cover his bleeding severed arm.
The arrow lodged in his chest was a stark reminder that his life force was rapidly slipping away.
"Ha, what is there to say about you, you traitor?"
Wang Ling sneered.
He was indeed careless this time and failed to dodge.
If it weren't for Lu Xun, Wang Ling would probably never have had the chance to make a comeback.
After all, whether Dong Zhao or Wang Chang wins, the first person they want to kill is Wang Ling!
Suddenly, Wang Chang's eyes widened, a blush creeping across his face, and he said to Wang Ling:
"The person behind it all is Chen Gong! It's Chen Gong!"
"I know about his other plans, please don't kill me!"
Wang Chang ultimately chickened out.
As a notorious opportunist like Wang Ling, Wang Chang could not bring himself to be buried alive for Chen Gong.
"Chen Gong?"
A hint of doubt appeared in Wang Ling's eyes.
Wang Chang used his last strength to say:
"He shot me in the chest with that arrow!"
"He runs so fast..."
“I am a military general, and I cannot even keep up with him, a scholar.”
After saying this, Wang Chang's nostrils were already mostly taking in air and exhaling little.
Clearly, that moment was his last burst of energy before death.
Wang Ling felt a chill run through his body.
He knew who Chen Gong was, of course.
After all, the Wang family of Jinyang and Lü Bu had quite a history.
Wang Ling's uncle, Wang Yun, became Lü Bu's father-in-law and tricked Lü Bu into killing Dong Zhuo, thus dominating Chang'an.
If it weren't for encountering one of the four scourges of Cao Cao's camp who was seeking revenge for an old friend, Wang Yun's small court in Chang'an could have lasted much longer.
Up to this point, Lü Bu's relationship with the Wang family of Jinyang remained good.
But after that, Wang Ling's cousin, Wang Yun's daughter Wang Ruohua, left Lü Bu after his repeated defeats and went to Cao Cao's side.
This whole affair cemented the enmity between the Wang family of Jinyang and Lü Bu.
Chen Gong's sudden return to Han territory left Wang Ling unsure of his true purpose.
If it's retaliation against the Wang family of Jinyang... can the Wang family of Jinyang withstand it?
In fact, Wang Ling's worries were completely unnecessary.
Lu Xun will soon show him with his actions that the Wang family of Jinyang will not last until the day Chen Gong takes revenge!
Wang Chang died.
Wang Ling brought back his body, and whether he fed it to the dogs or the pigs was up to him.
But because of Chen Gong's return, Wang Ling was not happy at all.
He informed Lu Xun of this news, and Lu Xun immediately wrote a letter and had the intelligence guards send it to Xuchang.
……
Thirty li outside Jinyang City
Chen Gong was panting heavily.
Taking advantage of the successive defections of Wang Chang's troops guarding Huguan, Chen Gong pulled out a small crossbow and delivered a vicious blow to Wang Chang's chest!
Although he was unable to kill Wang Chang immediately, Chen Gong's years of experience in escaping allowed him to seize a glimmer of hope and escape from the chaotic army.
"I really underestimated Su Ziyi's apprentice!"
Chen Gong felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it.
Standing atop the city wall, Lu Xun, full of passion and fervor, was clearly the second-generation Su Yu!
Damn... it's true what they say, like teacher, like student!
The whole thing is crooked from top to bottom!
If it were a normal person, they would have run away in disgrace after such a setback.
But is Chen Gong a normal person?
His grudges with Cao Cao and Su Yu had long since turned him into a true psychopath.
This time, Su Yu didn't even need to make a move; Lu Xun alone was enough to defeat him.
Where would Chen Gong put his old face?
We must get revenge!
This sentence kept echoing in Chen Gong's mind.
Soon, Chen Gong embarked on his journey to Jizhou.
As far as he knew, Hua Xin and Ju Zong were probably plotting a rebellion.
He had to go and lend these two a hand!
Here, Chen Gong would like to make a statement.
Throughout the world, as long as there are those who oppose Cao Cao, as long as they still harbor the ideal of opposing Cao Cao, Chen Gong will give them his strongest support!
As long as life goes on, the fight against Cao Cao will never cease!
……
Six days later
Jinyang City
Cao Zhen led 20,000 troops from Hedong to this place.
With these 20,000 elite troops, the first thing Lu Xun did was to take down Wang Ling!
The moment the shackles were placed in Wang Ling's hands, Wang Ling was stunned.
Lu Xun said earnestly:
"Wang Ling, you know what I mean, you're really good at being a fence-sitter."
"From now on, you will have no place in Bingzhou."
Wang Ling was in despair, his eyes bloodshot, and said:
"Lu Boyan, you heartless and despicable scoundrel!"
"My moral bottom line may have been a bit flexible in the past, but I have long since become a loyal subject!"
Why are you taking me?
Lu Xun sighed:
"You're in the way."
"Moreover, it's not that I really want you to die, I just want you to be transferred to another place as an official."
"Compared to your other colleagues, at least you've survived."
Hearing this, Wang Ling wanted to curse even more.
Should I transfer to another place to serve as an official?
Then why did you handcuff me?
But Lu Xun was just as Wang Ling had described him: heartless and ruthless.
He didn't care about many people, but his elderly father, Lu Jun, who had been rescued by Su Yu's men, was one of them.
Besides these, there were Master Su Yu, Senior Brother Cao Ang, Junior Brother Deng Ai, Junior Brother Jiang Wei, and others.
He was willing to bear any amount of infamy for his senior brother Cao Ang.
Apart from Wang Ling, the other prominent families in Bingzhou, after losing their patriarchs, were all fooled by Lu Xun and turned into complete idiots.
Cao Zhen's army entered Jinyang and immediately raised Ju Zong's banner, setting fires everywhere.
According to incomplete statistics, apart from Wang Ling and his family, all the other direct descendants of the Bingzhou aristocratic families perished in the fire.
The powerful families of Bingzhou thus exited the stage of history.
Wang Ling also became the last leader of the aristocratic families in Bingzhou! (The Lone Commander Version)
