Tai Shi Ci and others discussed the details again, Xu Yi entrusted his soldiers and horses to the deputy general and Tai Shi Ci, and he himself led a few personal horsemen to leave the Dantu camp under the cover of Tai Shi Ci, and went straight to Wu County, Xu Yi and others traveled in the starry night, and finally arrived outside Wu County in the middle of the hour.

"Stop coming, this is Wu County, the city gate has been closed, if you dare to step forward, we will release arrows!!"

The news of Sun Ce's death has spread throughout the city, the garrison in the city has already been strictly guarded, and Xu Kun, the general of the overseer army, is personally sitting in the city defense, and the sergeants guarding the city wall dare not be lazy, and they all play twelve points of spirit to be on duty, Xu Yi and others have just approached Wu County, and the defenders in the city have discovered their movements and started to warn.

Xu Yi waved his hand to order everyone to retreat, and shouted loudly: "Don't be nervous, brothers in the city, you are under the command of Xu Kun and Xu Zhonglang?" ”

The sergeant in the city replied: "I am under the command of General Xu, who are you!" ”

"I am the deceased of General Xu, I have important matters to discuss with him, and I hope that all the brothers will spread the word."

Xu Kun rested at the city gate, and the defenders of the city replied when they saw the situation: "You wait for a while, I'll wait for this and go to pass the word." ”

Xu Kun was born in the Xu family of Wu County, the Xu family was originally a wealthy family of Wu County, and had close contacts with the Sun family in the same county, his father Xu Zhen and Sun Jian were friendly to each other, Sun Jian married his sister Xu Zhen to Xu Zhen, and Xu Zhen gave birth to Xu Kun.

Xu Kun was brave by nature, and when he grew up, he followed Sun Jian to fight here, and when Sun Jian served as the Taishou of Changsha, Xu Kun was worshiped as a partial general for his meritorious efforts in quelling chaos. After Sun Jian's death, Xu Kun continued to follow Sun Ce to fight everywhere, and once again made a lot of meritorious deeds, Sun Ce showed Xu Kun to lead the position of Danyang Taishou, but it happened that Wu Jing returned to Jiangdong from Guangling, Wu Jing was more popular than Xu Kun, so Sun Ce appointed Wu Jing as the Danyang Taishou, and let Xu Kun lead the soldiers and horses of Wu County to guard Sun Ce's base camp as the commander of the army.

Sun Ce was assassinated, this matter is related to the life and death of Jiangdong, Xu Kun is Sun Jian's nephew, his career is closely related to Sun's family, at such a critical moment, he naturally can't sleep at night.

Xu Kun lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, hearing that there was an old man visiting, Xu Kun walked out of the city gate tower in a daze, when he saw that the person who came was Xu Yi who should be stationed in the Dantu camp, Xu Kun immediately felt a shock in his heart, and left the military camp to go to the place without permission This is a serious crime, not to mention that the place where he came is still Wu County, the base camp of the Sun family, this is even more of a crime, almost equivalent to defection and rebellion!

Xu Kun has gone through two generations of monarchs of the Sun family, and he has personally experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, not only did not have an accident, but also made a lot of meritorious contributions, such a person is naturally not a fool.

Xu Kun thought about Zhang Zhao's death during the day today, and he was vaguely aware of Xu Yi's intention, Xu Yi dared to come to Wu County at this time, this must have been allowed by Tai Shici and others, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get out of the camp! Could it be that the situation in Jiangdong has reached such a critical point, if this is the case, it seems that he and the Xu family will have to prepare early!

Xu Yi also saw Xu Kun's figure at this time, and shouted loudly: "General Xu, the old man is visiting, doesn't the general plan to invite me into the city for a while?" ”

Xu Kun thought for a moment in his heart, Xu Yi came late at night to discuss something important with him, if he didn't let him enter the city, it would be equivalent to completely tearing his face with Xu Yi and others, so he could only be tied to Sun Quan and others, if Sun Shao inherited Wu Hou's position in the end, then his life with Xu would not be easy.

His allegiance is to the Sun family rather than Sun Quan, not to mention that Sun Shao is the most orthodox heir in law, and it doesn't hurt to meet Xu Yi by himself, anyway, the soldiers and horses here are all his own henchmen, if he doesn't say it, no one will know that he has seen Xu Yi.

"Hahahaha, it's fun to have friends from afar, Brother Xu came late at night, how could I not let Brother Tai enter the city?"

Xu Kun replied to Xu Yi, looked left and right and said: "Put down the suspension bridge and hanging basket, and hang the people outside into the city, this matter must be kept tight-lipped like a bottle, and the water must not leak, this matter is very important, give me orders!" ”

"No, my subordinates have received orders, and I will go here and order my brothers!"

The left and right guards hurriedly went to give a gag order to the sergeants, and put down the drawbridge and hanging basket to accept Xu Yi into the city, Xu Yi saw the suspension bridge and hanging basket put down in the city, he also knew that it was late at night, Xu Kun definitely did not dare to open the city gate without permission, it was good to be able to use the hanging basket to hang him into the city.

Xu Yi stepped forward as he got off his horse, and ordered: "You wait here, I can enter the city alone, if I haven't come out after an hour, you can go back to Dantu to meet General Ziyi, be careful with me." ”

"No, I'll take the order!"

……

After Xu Yi went to the city, Xu Kun invited him into the city gate tower, and then asked the guards to go down to guard the city gate tower, not to let anyone approach, after the guards went out, Xu Kun looked at Xu Yi and asked: "Brother Tai should garrison Dantu at this time, you actually came to Wu County to see me late at night without permission at this time, it should be something important, right?" ”

Xu Yi didn't answer Xu Kun's words directly, but asked in a backvoice: "Brother Tai is stationed in Wu County, so he should already know about Zhang Zibu's death in Xishan, right?" ”

"Such a big event, the city has been full of turmoil, and as a general of Wu County, I naturally know about it."

Xu Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked, "In Brother Tai's opinion, who should have done Zhang Zibu's death?" ”

Xu Kun had been thinking about Sun Ce's death before, and there was no such thing as Zhang Zhaozhongfu's death, but when he heard Xu Yi's question, he thought deeply, the more Xu Kun thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was extremely strange, and finally looked at Xu Yi with a surprised face, as if he was asking if this matter could not really be done by you, right?

Xu Yi saw Xu Kun's expression, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Tai will also think in his heart that this matter should be done by General He Ziyi, right?" But regardless of whether my brother believes it or not, I have to say that this matter is indeed not our doing, and we were also very shocked when we received the news! ”。

"But this truth, I'm afraid many people won't believe it, and even some people won't let us say it, after all, the time and place of this time are indeed too ingenious, and it seems that only General He Ziyi can do it."

Xu Yi sighed, and then said: "I came to meet Brother Tai late at night, it is true that if I have a discussion, you and I are brothers, and I will not talk around the corner, I came to Wu County late at night, just to ask Brother Tai the truth, whether Brother Tai supports Shao Gongzi to inherit Wu Hou's position, or supports Sun Quan to inherit Wu Hou's position!" ”
