Under the spread of Lu Qing, the news of Cao Yu's drunkenness soon spread in the barracks. The soldiers all knew that Cao Ji was Zhou Ji's cronies, so they all waited to see how Zhou Ji dealt with Cao Ji.

At the end of the second day, Zhou Ji pulled Cao Chu to the big tent to hand it down in person.

Cao Ji was still unconscious at this time, I don't know if Zhou Ji was too heavy last night, or he drank too much. Zhou Ji immediately gave his men a look, and a soldier poured a basin of cold water from the top of Cao Yi's head.

"Ahh Cao Yu screamed and opened his eyes in horror: "Who is plotting against me?" ”

After speaking, Cao Yi saw the surrounding situation clearly, and after finding that he was tied up and Zhou Ji was staring at him coldly, Cao Chu immediately realized that something was wrong. So he tried hard to recall, but he could only recall that Lu Qing was looking for him to drink, but Cao Yu also guessed that he must have drunk too much and made trouble again, and was tied up by Zhou Ji.

"Cao Wei, are you guilty?" Zhou Ji asked coldly.

Cao Yu hurriedly nodded: "Big brother, I know it's wrong, I'll never drink again in the future!" ”

Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "Okay, since you obediently confessed your guilt, then I won't bother to speak." Someone came, Cao Kuo ignored the military regulations, drank and made trouble without permission, and dragged him out to behead him to show the public, in order to set an example! ”

"What?" Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up violently: "Big brother, do you really want to kill me?" ”

Zhou Ji took a deep breath: "If you violate military regulations, you should be dealt with by military law!" ”

Cao Kuo's eyes widened after hearing this, and he exerted all his strength all over his body, tightening the rope, as if he would be able to break free from the rope in the next moment.

Seeing this, Dou Long on the side hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Big brother, at the moment when the two armies are facing each other, it is afraid that the morale of our army will be hurt by beheading the general before the war starts, so it is better to let Cao Yi make meritorious service to see the after-effects." ”

As soon as Dou Long said, several other people echoed him, and Cao Kun's heart relaxed a little: It seems that Brother Zhou is just going through the motions, otherwise there would not be so many people interceding for him. You must not drink again next time, otherwise Brother Zhou will definitely not let himself go again!

Who knew that Zhou Ji turned around and said firmly: "If everyone thinks so, then what is the use of the military regulations I set?" You don't have to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, someone will drag Cao Yu out and behead him to show the public! ”

The two soldiers came to escort Cao Kuo, looking at Zhou Ji's cold back, Cao Kuo was stunned for a long time before he began to struggle: "Big brother, I was framed, big brother, listen to me, it's Lu Qing, it's Lu Qing who gave me wine!" Zhou Ji, you ungrateful villain, I was born and died for you in vain, and in the end, you will kill if you say you! The brothers have all seen it, Zhou Ji didn't take us seriously at all, don't work for him anymore! ”

Cao Ji scolded and was pulled out of the big tent, and then Zhou Ji turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Bury Cao Yu and borrow his family to my house." ”

A moment later, there was a scream outside the tent, and Zhou Ji let out a long breath and walked out of the barracks with the generals.

The soldiers were all stunned when they saw that Cao Kuo was really beheaded, Zhou Ji pointed to Cao Kuo's corpse and said: "You have all seen it, this is the end of violating military regulations, if someone violates military regulations again in the future, just like Cao Kuo!" ”

Zhou Ji's simple words left a mark on the hearts of the soldiers, and the soldiers became serious, and the entire barracks was full of pre-war tension.

After doing all this, Zhou Ji ordered his subordinates to prepare for the siege of the city, and launched an attack on Dieling Pass early tomorrow morning. And he himself came to Lu Qing's camp.

As soon as Lu Qing saw Zhou Ji, he immediately got up to greet him: "The arrival of Lord Duwei really flattered Lu Qing." ”

Zhou Ji narrowed his eyes: "You don't have to pretend between you and me, I know that Cao Yi's thing was done by you, and now that the war is imminent, I don't care about you." If you do anything out of the ordinary during my attack on Huaiguo, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”

After hearing this, Lu Qing laughed: "My lord has wronged me with this, if you have evidence, you can come to punish me, but you want to punish me without evidence, I'm afraid my father-in-law will not agree!" ”

"Humph!" Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Sun Yan's face, you would already be in the same place as Cao Yan!" My patience is limited, don't forget that in this barracks, I have the final say, I will kill you as easy as crushing an ant, you can do it yourself! ”

After speaking, Zhou Ji turned around and left, leaving only Lu Qing, whose face was uncertain.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Jingguo army gathered and marched to Dieling Pass under the leadership of Zhou Ji!

In the Dieling Pass, many people were already waiting a little impatiently, they were ready early, but they didn't expect the Jingguo army to be unhurried, and they were not in a hurry to attack the city at all.

The more this is the case, the more calm Zhang Shumo becomes, it is obvious that Zhou Ji is not carried away by hatred, all kinds of signs show that Zhou Ji is definitely a difficult opponent, and I don't know how Yang Xue's plan is implemented, do you want to help her?

Just thinking about it, Hu Kun came to Zhang Shumo's room: "Childe, Brother Lu is here, it seems that there is something urgent." ”

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he immediately put away the book and stood up: "Let's go, it should be Jingguo who called!" ”

As soon as the two of them went out, Lu Li hurriedly greeted him: "Childe, Zhou Ji has acted, he is coming towards us with a large army." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded expressionlessly: "Well, let's go to the city wall and wait for him to come." ”

The city wall of Dieling Pass is five zhang high, two zhang thick, all of them are made of huge stones, and it gives people a very solid feeling from a distance.

Zhang Shumo stood on the city wall, Jiao Qiang and Wu Tai stood on either side of him, and the other generals guarded a section of the city wall.

Zhou Ji walked at the front of the team, and from a distance, there was a young man who was less than the age of a weak crown standing in the center of the city wall, so he shouted at him: "On the city wall, is Zhang Shumo? ”

Zhang Shumo didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically: "Is it Zhou Gang's son Zhou Ji?" ”

Zhou Ji narrowed his eyes, and replied with anger: "Zhang Shumo Xiu is going to be rampant, you killed my father, and today I will crush your bones and ashes!" ”

Who knew that Zhang Shumo laughed out loud after hearing this: "Although your father died here with me, it was not me who killed him, I am just curious, how could you let Ji Wen go?" ”

After listening to Zhang Shumo's words, Zhou Ji is second monk was puzzled, but the doubts in his heart came up: What did Zhang Shumo's words mean? Didn't he kill my father? Could this really be related to Ji Wen??

Thinking of this, Zhou Ji couldn't help but ask, "Who killed it if you didn't kill it?" So many people have seen it, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Humph!" Zhang Shumo sneered: "We are just holding your father hostage and using him to blackmail you!" You don't want to think about why we would kill your father if no one forced us. ”
