Chapter 1441 embattled

Zhuge Dan ordered Zhang Te to be detained in the dungeon of the Governor's Office, and his confidant Wu Gang came to interrogate himself. Zhuge Dan's order to Wu Gang was that no matter what means he used, he must pry open Zhang Te's mouth and figure out who the mastermind behind it was, and whether there were any other accomplices?

As for Zhang Te's troops who were still stationed outside the city, Zhuge Dan asked Zhuge Liang to lead his troops to lure them into the city, and then placed them in different places, all of them were taken down, and tortured to see if he could get the answer Zhuge Dan wanted from these people.

Because Zhuge Dan knew very well that a tough guy like Zhang Te must be very hard, and it is indeed difficult to pry out valuable things from his mouth, but Zhang Te's subordinates may not have the integrity of Zhang Te's death as if they were ready to die. However, someone would definitely explain it to him.

Zhuge Liang followed Zhuge Dan's arrangement and went out of the city in person, bringing Zhang Te's remaining troops into the city.

Zhang Te's remnants were outside the city, without any food and clothing, so he asked Ge Liang to bring them into the city. At first they cheered and thought they could get rid of their suffering, but as soon as they entered the city, the style suddenly changed. Zhuge Liang placed them in different military camps, and then he ordered them to surrounded the men and captured them.

Even if these soldiers want to resist, it is too late. What's more, Zhuge Liang has already divided them and cannot form a unified and condensed force, so they are easily captured by Zhuge Liang's army.

As Zhuge Dan expected, Zhang Te was indeed a tough guy. Wu Gang used to torture and tortured Zhang Te to death, but Zhang Te did not say a word from beginning to end. Wu Gang finally gave up helplessly. If he tortured and confessed, Zhang Te might die, but even so, Wu Gang could not pry his mouth open.

However, Zhuge Liang quickly made a breakthrough. After all, the defenders in Xincheng may not have the bones like Zhang Te. According to what they confessed, Zhang Te had contacted the court before withdrawing the troops. The court did send envoys to contact Zhang Te. Zhuge Liang gradually investigated the clues and found Sima Shi's letter from Zhang Te's family. Zhang Te did not burn the letter, but hid it, but ended up falling into Zhuge Dan's hands.

The facts finally came to light. It turned out that the instructor behind the scenes was nothing but Sima Shi, who was thousands of miles away. Sima Shi seduced Zhang Te as the governor of Yangzhou and instigated Zhang Te to plot to assassinate Zhuge Dan.

If Zhuge Dan had not been wary of others and often kept his armour, he might have been conspired by Sima Shi this time. It seems that Sima Shi really had the will to destroy me. After the plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain failed, he actually used Zhang Te to conspire assassination. The methods were unpredictable and it was hard to defend against.

After learning the truth, Zhuge Dan did not tell any traces of things. He kept no one of the thousands of people Zhang Te brought, and buried all of them alive. These people were Zhang Te's loyal subordinates, and keeping them was a disaster. Zhuge Dan did not think about it and executed them all, which could be regarded as the elimination of the root cause.

Zhang Te's family, all within the three tribes, were beheaded and destroyed. Since Zhang Te was so bold and reckless to assassinate himself, he had to pay the price of extermination. Zhuge Dan would not be merciless in this regard.

As for Zhang Te himself, he was tortured by torture and was worse than death. Zhuge Dan did not need to ask about his confession anymore. He ordered Zhang Te to be killed directly, with his head ready to sacrifice flag. As for the body, he was dismembered by a dog, and even his bones were not left. He really had no place to die.

The Wu army also arrived in Xincheng smoothly. After Zhuge Dan sent people to contact him, he officially announced the world, issued a manifesto to attack the Sima family, and announced the rebellion.

Although he joined forces with Wu Kingdom, Zhuge Dan had no intention of changing his flag. He was still the banner of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he still respected Emperor Cao Mao of Wei as the emperor. He still regarded himself as the general of the Yangzhou governor of the Zhengdong. The only difference was that he used Sima Shi as a thief who steals the country to attack. The entire Huainan counties responded one after another, and the world was shocked.

……………………………………………………………………

The news of Zhuge Dan's rebellion soon spread to Luoyang, to Baima, and throughout the world.

Sima Shi's face was gloomy. This was probably the result he didn't want to hear the least. Since Zhuge Dan had already raised an army, his plan to use Zhang Te to assassinate Zhuge Dan must have failed, which made Sima Shi deeply regret it.

It was not Zhang Te who made Sima Shi regretful. After all, he had never met Zhang Te, so naturally he would not have any feelings. Zhang Te's life and death did not even feel anything about Sima Shi.

Sima Shi felt a pity that this piece that could have played an important role was quietly annihilated, without any impact on Zhuge Dan, and even advanced Zhuge Dan's plan to rise up.

Although Zhuge Dan's uprising was completely expected, when the news came, Sima Shi really felt overwhelmed.

Cao Liang north of the Yellow River has already made Sima Shi poor and resisted. Zhuge Dan rebelled in Huainan again, which is equivalent to being attacked from both sides. Now Sima Shi has felt the real pressure. How can he deal with the current crisis and put Sima Shi in deep thought.

If Zhuge Dan only stationed his troops in Huainan, it would not pose any threat to Sima's army for the time being. But now Zhuge Dan and Eastern Wu have joined forces. Sun Jun, the Prime Minister of Eastern Wu, has arrived in Xincheng. The people of Wu have always been very happy with merits. With such an opportunity this time, how can they not take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the blame?

Therefore, the enemies Sima Shi faced were not only Cao Liang and Zhuge Dan. He probably had to add Eastern Wu and Western Shu. Jiang Wei from Shu Kingdom, who was even more afraid of the world's chaos. If something big happened to Wei Kingdom, how could he not launch a large number of troops and invade Guanlong?

Therefore, Sima Shi is in a situation where he is surrounded by enemies. Cao Liang in the north is aggressive, Zhuge Dan in the southeast and Sun Jun in the Wu Kingdom are eyeing him, and Jiang Wei in the Shu Kingdom is also waiting for trouble. If Sima Shi is asked to deal with them one by one, it may not be too difficult, but if the troops from all directions arrive, Sima Shi will immediately increase the pressure. How to solve this situation really makes Sima Shi helpless.

At this moment, the closest servant suddenly came in to report: "General, the Ninth Prince is looking for a meeting outside the tent."
