In which Je Qon shows his true colours
Je Qon left the battle field, covered in wounds he slumped onto the floor and coughed. He had seen his whole life flash before him. All the time he could see one figure against the flame, that of Cao Cao, no matter what happened, Cao Cao must die. He tried to stand up, it was impossible, he was going to die.
Meanwhile Lu Bu was fighting off hundreds of soldiers. From the back of the crowd someone shouted
"He is only one man, Strike him down" Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun had turned up. They charged at Lu Bu who knowed them both away with his long staff…Xiahou Dun stood up, no one treats him like that. He charged and Lu Bu gave the signal to the archers stood behind him. An arrow travelled straight to Xiahou Dun and right through his eye. Xiahou Dun knelt down and pulled the arrow, which was stuck into his eye, out. He then picked the eye of the end and shouted
"My father, My Mother, My ancestors gave me this eye, It would not do just to leave it here" He then lifted it to his mouth and eat it.
"Retreat, back to the camp" and with that all of cao cao's forces ran. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lei Bei, all continued fighting however, and Lu Bu ran to the safety of the palace
"Send out the word, Lu Bu is defeated. Charge on the castle" Lei Bei Shouted.
Several hours later the castle was taken and Dong Zhuo was in front of Yuan Shao ready for punishment.
"For trying to take china as your own, you receive the punishment of exile, I never wish to see you again"
Lu Bu walked forward
"Lu Bu, for murder and for being a traitor, you receive execution"
Cao Cao stood up
"Sir, this cannot be, Lu Bu could be a good officer, allow him to work for me"
"Are you forgetting, lord Cao Cao that he has killed 3 of the 4 lords he has worked for. It is execution for him"
Finally Je Qon was allowed to limp forward
"Je Qon" Yuan Shao Started "For making an alliance with the enemy, you must have two allied officers watch you, and make sure you never do anything like this again. I suggest Xiahou Dun and my son, Yuan Shu"
And so it was done. Je Qon was to be watched constantly. And the alliance broke up. The first chance that Je Qon got he went into Exile and Yuan Shu betrayed his father by taking Je Qon's City. There was a big war between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu was killed, thus making the city Yuan Shao's.
Je Qon needed to pick somewhere that had a good strategic value against cao cao. He picked a huge city that had been rulerless for a while. He claimed it as his own and then started hiring officers. Je Xi had joined. And that's it. It was obvious that Je Qon had become unpopular since the battle of Hu Lao Gate.
Cao Cao had many officers, all whom would die for him. Xiahou Dun had returned when they heard the news
"My lords" the messenger said "Je Qon has take Wei, he claims that it is his and that he will kill any invaders to his land."
"thank you, you may go now" Cao Cao said calmly.
It was about this time when another disgraced ruler returned. Dong Zhuo had take a little town not far from his old one and was already training troops. Cao Cao had to decide whether to destroy Je Qon, or to kill Dong Zhuo. They both were threats.
"My lord? I come as a diplomat for the rule Dong Zhuo" Ti Xi, one of Dong Zhuo's officers had said. "We wish to wipe of Je Qon, we are planning an attack and wandered if you wish to join in?" Cao Cao considered this. It was obviously the right thing to do army wise, but, the people wouldn't like it. He decided to accept and The battle for Wei was planned.
Dong Zhuo attacked first, mercilessly killing anyone in there way. Cao Cao came as reinforcements and fought only the soldiers. Je Qons men fought hard but in the end, he and his son were captured for a second time
"Yuan Shao was to good to you" Cao Cao had shouted. Now it's my turn to choose what should be done to you. I think prison sounds good"
"What happened to my son?" Je Qon had said, calmly "is he dead?"
"No, he fled the city, it is believed that he is heading to join Yuan Shao."
"I am disgrace enough. I wish to goto my cell. As there is no way to escape."
In Yuan Shao's throne room there was an argument going on.
"Why should we save your father? He turned me against my son who I killed in my own hands" Yuan Shao was almost crying
"My lord, we fled, that is all, your sons greed made you kill him," Je Xi contradicted
"HOW DARE YOU" Yuan Shao Shouted "We will take the Wei territory, but only so that I can have my own way with your father"
"Thank you sir, I will help you in any way I can"
Cao Cao's army was still positioned in Wei. They were tired and hungary and Dong Zhuo had left them to plan another attack on one of his neighbouring cities. Xiahou Yuan rushed in
"Cousin, Yuan Shao is approaching, he has his entire army out there, I think I see Je Xi, Je Qon's son"
"So they've come back for him have they? Prepare the soldiers. Wei Is OURS"
Je Qon sat in his prison, his wounds had only just healed and he was cold. He heard a battle cry outside and smiled, they had come afterall…
