Zhang Te knew that Zhuge Dan would definitely hold him responsible, so he said respectfully: "I will know the crime, please punish the governor."

Zhuge Dan knew that Zhang Te was dull and stubborn, and liked to be stubborn in everything. He could not even pull back even if he had eight horses. He thought that Zhang Te would be too stubborn to the end and refused to admit his mistake. Zhuge Dan could use this as an excuse to order Zhang Te, who violated the military order, to be directly killed. However, he did not expect that Zhang Te was very sincere and directly admitted that he was guilty and took the initiative to ask Zhuge Dan to punish him. This undoubtedly made Zhuge Dan a little stunned.

Zhuge Dan's expression eased a little, but his anger had not yet dissipated. He snorted coldly: "I want to hear what you have committed. Let's talk about it yourself."

Zhang Tetou bowed down and said, "The last general was promoted by the governor, and his kindness was rebuilt, but he was not grateful to Huaide. This is one crime; he disobeyed military orders and acted without authorization, which led to the fall of Xincheng and more than half of the soldiers were injured and killed. This is two crimes; he did not follow the orders, did not know the general, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, which is three crimes. The last general knew that his crime was not allowed to be forgiven, so he came to Shouchun to receive punishment and asked the governor to deal with it according to military law. Even if he wanted to kill the last general, he would never complain."

Zhang Te was quite tangible about Zhuge Dan. If Zhang Te had a strong attitude and refused to apologize, Zhuge Dan would not care about the regulations on whether he could kill two thousand stone officials. He directly chopped off Zhang Te's head. Anyway, Zhuge Dan was destined to rebel, and the court's regulations could no longer restrain Zhuge Dan at this moment.

But Zhang Te knew very well that Zhuge Dan was a person with a weak ear. If he had made an extremely sincere apology from the beginning, admitting his mistakes and confessing his guilt, and killing him or cutting him, Zhuge Dan would not have been severely punished.

Sure enough, when Zhuge Dan heard Zhang Te's words, his cold expression slowed down. Thinking about it, Zhang Te was indeed transferred from the crowd of soldiers. Although Zhuge Dan did not use him enough, he also transferred him to the position of goalkeeper. After all, he was his own person. Zhang Te has always stayed in Huainan and has never been to Luoyang or elsewhere, and has never had contact with the Sima family. Zhuge Dan doesn't have to worry that Zhang Te will become Sima Shi.

Zhang Te is straightforward and belongs to the kind of person who would rather bend than bend. It is already rare to be able to bow his head and admit his mistakes at this moment. When he thinks of this, Zhuge Dan's murderous intention is reduced immediately. Now the enemy is in the right place, it is the time to use people. If Zhang Te can use it for himself, it would be better.

Although Zhuge Dan did not admit it verbally, he also thought that he had misread Zhang Te in his heart. In the battle of New City, Zhang Te's performance was indeed extremely excellent and outstanding, especially the tenacious will that others would find difficult to reach. If Zhang Te could use it well, he would definitely be the most solid shield in resisting Sima Shi's attack.

So Zhuge Dan said lightly: "Since you know you are wrong, I will no longer punish you severely. However, even if you are exempted from the death penalty, you will still be unable to escape the life penalty. Otherwise, where is the majesty of military law? This is how you go down and get a hundred whips yourself, thinking that it will be punished. If you commit it again next time, I will never forgive you."

Zhang Te thanked him: "The last general will be punished!"

Zhuge Dan was about to wave his hand to let Zhang Te retreat, but Zhang Te suddenly said: "Report to the Governor, the last general was in the war between the Wu people, and accidentally intercepted a correspondence from them. The content involved the conspiracy of the Wu people. If it was not good for the Governor, please take a look." As he said that, Zhang Te took out a letter from his arms, took a step forward, and presented it to Zhuge Dan far away.

Zhuge Dan obviously did not doubt any fraud. After all, his cooperation with the Eastern Wu was also based on an exchange of interests. The two sides were harmonious on the surface, but they had other plans behind it. If the Wu people really had any means, it was not beyond Zhuge Dan's expectations. He was obviously more concerned about the content of the letter. He was eager to see what kind of plot the Wu people would have.

"Please let me take a look." Zhang Te's previous attitude of admitting his mistakes was extremely sincere, which greatly reduced Zhuge Dan's vigilance. At this moment, he was even more concerned about the content of the letter, so he naturally had no intention of being prepared.

Zhang Te was waiting for such an opportunity. When he entered the tent, he had already untied his sword. Without weapons, the guards around Zhuge Dan naturally reduced their vigilance. Moreover, Zhang Te's previous attitude was extremely low-key. No matter how Zhuge Dan punished him, he accepted it humbly. This undoubtedly gave people the illusion that Zhang Te was just a lamb to be guilty, not a tiger with fangs and sharp claws exposed.

Logically speaking, Zhuge Dan should not let Zhang Te get close to him at this time. He just needs to send the letter to his personal soldiers. In this way, Zhang Te still has a long distance to assassinate Zhuge Dan, which is rare.

But when Zhuge Dan heard about the news about the Eastern Wu, he wanted to check the content of the letter immediately. Moreover, most of the people Zhuge Dan contacted were his own confidants and did not have the habit of passing the letters, so he was not wary of Zhang Te at all, so he reached out and wanted to receive the letters handed over by Zhang Te.

In fact, Zhang Te is also preparing to fight this time because he knows very well that even if he has not been beheaded by Zhuge Dan, it will not be easy to get close to Zhuge Dan in the future. Then this may be the closest opportunity to Zhuge Dan. If he doesn't take action at this time, he will not have another chance in the future.

So as soon as Zhang Te came in, he bowed and confessed his guilt, and his attitude was so humble that he was completely distant. Compared with Zhang Te who was usually straightforward and stubborn, it seemed like he had changed his mind. Zhang Te knew very well that only in this way could he be confused Zhuge Dan and let Zhuge Dan relax his vigilance.

Then, Zhang Te revealed a letter prepared in advance, saying that it was obtained from the Wu people. Since Zhang Te fought with the Wu army in Xincheng for more than ten days, Zhuge Dan was unable to tell the authenticity of the letter at once, so he must have read it.

Zhang Te bet that Zhuge Dan asked him to hand over the letter with him, so that he and Zhuge Dan would have the opportunity to face each other. Zhang Te had already hidden a sharp dagger in his sleeve, waiting for an opportunity to move.

If Zhuge Dan did not give Zhang Te a chance to get close, but instead asked his subordinates to submit a letter, Zhang Te would have suddenly killed Zhuge Dan the moment he looked down at the letter. Even if the distance was farther, he would not give up such an opportunity.

Now Zhuge Dan reaches out to write, and hit Zhang Te's thoughts. Zhang Te takes a few steps forward, bows his head and bends over, and respectfully passes the letter.

But the moment Zhuge Dan took the letter, Zhang Te suddenly showed off the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed Zhuge Dan's chest with all his might.
