It was night, and Zhang Xiujun was in the army commander's tent.

Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat, Jia Xu sat on the left side of Zhang Xiu, and Zhou Cang stood on the right side of Zhang Xiu.

There are also Li Feng and Cao Xing sitting at the bottom, except for Hu Che'er, Tai Shici and Song Xian, who each led an army alone, and Zhang Xiu's generals are all here.

There is also a man in black with low eyebrows in the military tent, and the eyes of the people in the military tent are focused on this person at this moment.

Perhaps he had never been stared at by so many heavyweights, but the man in black had been standing with his hands hanging down for a short time, and his forehead was already sweating.

"Tell me, what benefits do your sons want?" In this situation, it was Zhang Xiu who broke the silence.

The man in black swallowed a mouthful of saliva, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "My son-in-law said that he knows that he has committed many crimes, and he does not ask for any reward for this battle, but only asks General Pingkou to make a new appearance and give a merit to offset it!" ”

Hearing such humble words, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be happy: "Your son-in-law is quite acquainted, if it is successful, it is not impossible to offset one merit or demerit." But ......" Zhang Xiu's face changed suddenly: "If this is a fraud played by your son-in-law and that Zhu Taishou, wouldn't General Ben's life be in danger?" ”

The black-clothed man's expression changed greatly, and he knelt down to the ground in a panic and said: "Don't dare to deceive General Pingkou, my son-in-law said that it may not only be at the south gate." If General Pingkou doesn't like it, my son-in-law can lead people to answer at any of the three gates of the North Gate, the West Gate, and the East Gate. ”

Cao Xing next to him: "What kind of official position is your son-in-law in Wu County, it's good to be able to respond to a city gate, how can any gate in the east, west, north and south be accepted, could it be that we are being fooled?" ”

The man in black: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare my son-in-law talk nonsense." To tell the truth, my son-in-law is not valued under Zhu Taishou, and he only lives in an idle position on weekdays, and he has always been dispensable in Zhu Taishou's eyes. Even if the war is tight these days, I have never arranged a fixed position for my son-in-law, but he has just given him a temporary military position to patrol the city and garrison. My son-in-law thinks about the kindness of the generals in the past, and regrets that he shouldn't have turned his back on the generals at the beginning! ”

Just hearing about a military position of "patrolling the city and garrisoning", Zhang Xiu and others understood Yuan Yao's status and position in Wu County.

Like Yuan Yao took the initiative to do such a thing, if it was placed a year ago, before the battle of Zhang Cao Qiyang, Zhang Xiu would definitely believe half of it without thinking. But today, no matter how big the temptation or how fast the shortcut is in front of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu will only believe 49%.

The reason why 49 percent is believed in everything is so high, which represents Zhang Xiu's serious attitude. But if you want to ask why you almost believe half of it, it's because in a way, Zhang Xiu doesn't believe in people and things other than herself!

Zhang Xiu: "Go back and tell your son-in-law that in the current situation, I can still take Wu County without him doing internal response!" ”

The man in black was shocked!

Cao Xing and Li Feng listened to Zhang Xiu's words, and their faces changed slightly, but no one said anything.

The man in black finally burst into tears: "General, every word of the villain is the sincerity of my son-in-law, and there is no lie!" ”

Zhang Xiu: "Whether your son-in-law is sincere or not, General Ben doesn't know, General Ben only knows that he only needs to storm for three days now, and no one needs to open the city gate to respond, and he can break through this city." ”

The man in black had no temper, and in the end he could only shout "General Wang's thoughts" over and over again and was forked out by the sergeant. Zhang Xiujun didn't do anything to him, and sent him out of the camp directly.

The man in black shouted bad luck, and seeing that it was still dark, he hurriedly followed the road he came from and trotted back.

Turning left and right and running to a deserted place, this man squatted in the grass and waited for the two guards to pass over the city wall, and then he took advantage of the gap to touch the heel of the city wall.

It took several calls from the birds and insects before a similar call came back from the city. The man waited a little longer, and when two more patrolmen had passed through the city, a rope was thrown down at the head of the city.

Half an hour later, Yuan Yao's mansion.

Yuan Yao cried with a sad face, and said to Xu Sheng, who had been refreshed: "Xu Zhuangshi, I don't believe this embroidery, I really plan to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, how good is this!" ”

Xu Sheng unabashedly disdain: "This kind of thing, I'm not afraid that he won't believe it, but I'm afraid that they don't want to believe it!" ”

Yuan Yao didn't understand for a while: "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Sheng: "If a smart person has a chance to win, he won't have any extraneous branches!" ”

Yuan Yao was still at a loss: "Who is the smart person, and who is the 'branch' that was born horizontally?" ”

Xu Sheng was too lazy to talk to Yuan Yao anymore.

Yuan Yao, who was not in a good mood and affected his IQ, turned the corner for a long time, and Yuan Yao, who understood the reason, wanted to cry without tears: "Could it be that we have to be buried with Zhu Zhi?" ”

"No!" Xu Sheng replied very resolutely and quickly this time: "If you want to accompany the funeral, let those stubborn and self-righteous wealthy families go to the funeral!" The dignified man is seven feet tall, and he should fight for the world! ”

"Give me a piece of soft armor and a pair of heart guards, and a good knife!" A spark burst out of Xu Sheng's eyes.

……

It was already early in the morning, and Xu Shengmao, who was wearing a tight-fitting suit, was near the main gate of the Taishou Mansion.

Yesterday, Zhu Zhi, who was the highest military and political governor of Wu County, led all the strong men of Wu County out of the city and was ambushed, not only defeated, but also hit by an arrow from Zhang Xiu's general Cao Xing, but Xu Sheng, who got Zhu Zhi's injury from Yuan Yao, was not bad, but he believed that Zhu Zhi would still get up early and go out to patrol the city according to his usual habits.

And in fact, Xu Sheng guessed completely right. Zhu Zhi asked the military doctor to pull out the arrow yesterday, treated the wound a little, and ignored the kind dissuasion of his wife and children's cronies and subordinates, insisted on leaving the house, preparing to routinely inspect the city defense barracks.

Although he knew very well that he had personally buried the main force of Wu County yesterday, which made the hope of sticking to Wu County faint, Zhu Zhi knew better at this moment that if he shrank his head and tail at this moment and did not accept this defeat head-on, then Wu County's already scattered military morale and people's morale would really be irretrievable.

The middle door of Taishou Mansion slowly opened, and Zhu Zhi walked out under the escort of more than ten guards. Interestingly, these more than ten people were mostly wrapped in bloodstained gauze under their armor.

There is no doubt that these more than ten guards also experienced yesterday's battle with Zhu Zhi.

The horses had been led out of the side door by the subordinates, and as soon as Zhu Zhi walked in front of his mount, there was a change on the left!

A white-clothed masked assassin with a sword jumped out of nowhere and shouted coldly: "Zhu Zhi will take your dog's life!" He didn't care about the more than ten guards beside Zhu Zhi, and rushed over to kill him head-on!

Not all the elite soldiers and strong generals in the entire Jiangdong were taken by Sun Ce to the west, at least Zhu Zhi's guards were once the first-class elites in the army. Seeing the sudden appearance of the assassin, these guards were only slightly surprised, but they were not in a hurry, and each drew his sword and responded coldly. The one who stands at the front takes the initiative to meet and widen the combat distance. The one standing behind took the initiative to close to Zhu Zhi and did not give any space for the cold arrow!

Zhu Zhi also reacted the moment he was surprised by the assassin, although he was middle-aged, his reaction was not slow. When the guards drew their swords, he also clenched his saber, but he didn't pull it out easily.

The white-clothed masked assassin had already collided with Zhu Zhi's personal guard sword, and in this gap where all attention was attracted to the left, a ghostly black figure was approaching Zhu Zhi's back!

A guard who happened to be standing behind Zhu Zhi didn't notice that someone was attacking behind him, but he was already in a different place!

This incomparably swift knife still alarmed Zhu Zhi. But it didn't matter much, when Zhu Zhi turned his head, Xu Sheng's knife had already stabbed the distance from Zhu Zhi's head.

At the moment when Xu Sheng was about to succeed, there was still a person present who reacted, pulled Zhu Zhi to the back position, and held the knife to catch Xu Sheng's stab.

"The thief wants to kill my father!"

But it was Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran who pulled his adoptive father Zhu Zhi away from the brink of death at the last moment, and faced the fierce Xu Sheng with a knife.

Xu Sheng was immediately furious, and someone interrupted his plan at the last moment, and anyone would go berserk!

Just three knives, Xu Sheng shook the saber in Zhu Ran's hand!

Zhu Ran, who is still a sixteen-year-old teenager, is still very immature in front of twenty-one-year-old Xu Sheng.

More than 20 years later in history, Zhu Ran, who became famous with the help of Guan Yu's Battle of Xiangfan, became a famous general in Eastern Wu who could take over the position of Lu Meng, while Xu Sheng was one of the best generals in Eastern Wu! In terms of martial arts, Zhu Ran can't beat Xu Sheng no matter what period he is, not to mention that there is still a huge difference between the two of them as a teenager and a young man!

Xu Sheng, who had defeated Zhu Ran, cleanly finished off the three guards beside Zhu Zhi, and the white-clothed masked assassin on the left had only killed and injured two of Zhu Zhi's men at this time.

Most of the attention has been completely attracted by Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng was not afraid at all and continued to move forward.

The white-clothed masked assassin over there was suddenly left out in the cold when he saw him, but he was humiliated as if he felt that he was being slighted, and his attack was suddenly several times more fierce, and the three Zhu Zhi guards who were in the block were forced towards Zhu Zhi with Xu Sheng.

……

An hour later, Xu Sheng and Yuan Yao, who were black and white, fled back to Yuan Yao's mansion over the back wall, and the two leaned against the corner of the wall for a long time.

Glancing at each other, Xu Sheng's eyes when he looked at Yuan Yao were much less obviously disdainful.

If it weren't for Yuan Yao's exhaustion at this time, otherwise Yuan Dagongzi in the past would definitely brag about how his martial arts skills were, and then find some excuses for not touching the sword in recent days and neglecting to practice as a foil.

The desperate approach of the two was naturally a failure. In terms of professionalism, Xu Sheng and Yuan Yao were not even at the level of amateur assassins.

Don't say superfluous, assassin assassin, pay attention to one hit must hit! Although Yuan Yao and Yuan Gongzi thought of a good idea before the assassination, and Xu Sheng tried his best to cooperate with the implementation, but the two of them failed to hit the target for various reasons!

Having lost this best opportunity to assassinate, and wanted to kill a Taishou who was already good at martial arts in front of the Taishou Mansion with many armor soldiers, Yuan Yao and Xu Sheng could only say that they were in a dream if they really did it.
