Rushing back to the office, Fang Ke was already waiting in the front hall:

"General Zhou, what is the situation with Han Qi?"

Zhou Kong's anger did not subside, and he scolded:

"The hundred-mile dog thief saw through Han Qi's fraudulent surrender, and now he is using Han Qi to persuade us to surrender, and he also brought five thousand inches of silver, if he doesn't surrender, he will slaughter the city, it is simply unreasonable."

"Slaughter the city!" Fang Ke was surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt something strange: "No, Bailiyan is stupid, didn't he give us five thousand silver for nothing." ”

"It's for you General Fang."

Zhou Kong angrily stuffed the letter into Fang Ke's hand, Fang Ke knew a few big characters, and after a cursory look, he returned it to Zhou Kong.

"I don't understand Wen Crepe, but the five thousand silver is not fake, right?"

"I've seen it, and it's in excellent condition, better than the gold and silver of Liang Kingdom."

"But...... Bailiyan is crazy, and he gives away silver for nothing, which always feels so awkward. ”

"This man's intentions are sinister, and I have asked the brothers to stick to the mountains and forests, so as not to fall into the tricks of the hundred-mile dog thieves."

While the two were talking, the soldiers outside the hall came to report:

"General Qiyu Zhou, the messenger of the Divine Power Heavenly King has arrived outside the mansion."

"Please!"

"No."

When he was young, the messenger of God entered the hall, and when he saw Zhou Kong, he bowed slightly:

"See General Zhou."

"The messenger doesn't need to be polite, but he brings a letter from the king."

"Exactly, please General Zhou take a look."

The messenger handed over the iron letter, and Zhou Kong made sure that it was intact, so he opened the iron letter and took out the secret letter to look at it carefully.

"Sure enough, the Heavenly King expected Baili Yan to store water in the mountains and attempt to flood my city, which is simply hateful!"

"If that's the case, today is fortunate that the dark channel is soaked in water and poured into the city, otherwise in a few days, when the mountains are filled with water and washed down, the entire southeast city wall will collapse, this dog thief is really lacking in virtue!" Fang Ke scolded, hating the roots of his teeth.

Zhou Kong thought for a moment to ask Han Qi for a question, but looked left and right but saw no one:

"Little Lotus Seed, where is Han Qiren?"

"Huh?!" Xiao Lianzi was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right to find no one: "It's weird, I can't still give the silver to death, I'll go find him." ”

Xiao Lianzi turned around to find Han Qi, and Zhou Kong said to the person who came:

"Can the Heavenly King explain anything else?"

"The Heavenly King told General Zhou that the decisive battle of Lintai was imminent, and General Zhou and General Ma Zheng must secretly reinforce Lintai after joining forces."

"Alas...... Secret reinforcements are no longer possible. Baili Yan stored water in the mountains, washed away the secret passage, and poured it into the city. Ben General had no choice but to fight through the secret passage, but now that the secret passage has been exposed, the secret march is very difficult. ”

"The Heavenly King is waiting for reinforcements to go north, how can this be good."

"Please rest assured, the secret passage is now under the control of our army, and after the reinforcements arrive, we will immediately enter the mountain and go north."

"But the secret passage has been exposed, how can I get there smoothly." The messenger asked rhetorically.

"As long as our army controls the mountains and marches from the mountains outside the mountains, the Xian army can only respond to the battle, or retreat to the main road to confront each other, and then our army can go around behind the Xian army to cut off its retreat and surround it."

"Will this work?"

"It will work. The Xian army is only 50,000 people, if we can't stop our army in Zhaocheng, once our army and the king join forces, the Xian army has no chance of winning. Ask the messenger to rest for the night, and wait for Ben to deliver a letter of repair to the king. ”

"Alright then, I'll take my leave."

When the messenger retreated, Zhou Kong and Fang Ke said:

"General Fang, let the military prepare a swarm of bees, fire, thunder and bombs, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Xian army."

"General Zhou, Ma Zheng's 50,000 people haven't arrived yet, let's do it first, there are more Xian soldiers and we have fewer people."

"But the Xian army is outside the mountain, we are in the mountain, it is easy for them to withdraw, and it is difficult for them to come in again. If Bailiyan wants to quickly attack the city of Zhaocheng, there is only one way to flood, and he must enter the mountain. Otherwise, when Ma Zheng's reinforcements arrive, he will be even more passive.

It was false that Han Qi came to lobby, it was true that he dragged us in the city, and gave him the opportunity to seize the mountains and forests. At this point, Zhou Kong suddenly found that the little lotus seed was gone: "By the way, what about the little lotus seed, the little lotus seed!" ”

Zhou Kong called twice, and two black-armored women came in from outside the hall:

"General Zhou, Sister Lianzi seems to have gone to the Holy Order."

"Holy Order? What did she do in the Holy Orders. ”

"I don't know."

Just as Han Qi hoisted the remaining 4,500 thousand-inch silver and his brothers into the city, and on the way to the Zhizhi, he was detained by the Holy Envoy of the Holy Order. In the name of Han Qi's collaboration with the enemy, he actually went for the five thousand inches of silver.

Hearing the news that Han Qi was detained by the Holy Order, Xiao Lianzi threw the female guard and went to ask for someone, but the result was a stalemate in the Holy Order. At this time, Zhou Kong quickly rushed to the Shengxun Division with his men and horses, and when he saw that the female guard was stopped on the street by the soldiers and horses of the Shengxun Division, he stepped forward and asked:

"Spring flowers, what's the situation at the bottom?"

"General Qiyu Zhou, the Holy Order Division has arrested Han Qi, and Sister Lianzi will not give it to them."

"Bastard, my people dare to catch me casually, follow me in!"

Zhou Kong waved his hand and led the men and horses to break in, and the next moment he was blocked by the soldiers and horses of the Holy Order:

"General Zhou, the Holy Orders Division is a forbidden place, and no Holy Envoy edict is allowed to trespass."

"Why, Ben wants to stop you too!" Zhou Kong opened his phoenix eyes angrily, and his face jumped sharply.

"Don't dare, but General Zhou has brought so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

"Hmph, Xiaofen and Xiaolan will come with me, and the others will stay."

"Yes."

Zhou Kong only took the two of them into the Holy Order's office, and when he walked to the second courtyard, he saw that Xiao Lianzi was arguing with the black-clothed holy envoy and others, and Han Qi and the others were tied and thrown aside.

"Cao Shengzhi, what the hell is going on, this general's people, you dare to take it!"

Seeing Zhou Kong appear, the black-clothed holy envoy restrained his arrogance and straightened his face:

"The envoy was ordered to do things, how did he alarm General Zhou."

"Oh, I was ordered to run an errand, and I was ordered by whom. Did General Ben let you arrest someone, huh! Zhou Kong asked, motioning for Xiao Lianzi and the others to come forward and untie Han Qi and the others.

Cao Sheng's originally unhappy face sank a little again:

"General Zhou, Han Qi came to buy the hearts of our army on behalf of the enemy, shouldn't this be investigated?"

"I didn't, this is the poisonous ploy of the Xian army." Han Qi argued, standing from the ground.

"Presumptuous!" Cao Sheng's envoy angrily reprimanded and refuted: "It's a joke, if it weren't for the secret dealings between the Xian army and the rebels in the city, how could they send five thousand inches of silver into the city." ”

At this time, Zhou Kong said:

"Cao Sheng, this is the Xian army's divisive plan, which is intended to sow discord in the city and make us kill each other."

"Oh, yes. That Xianjun is stupid, not that Xianjun, knowing that the separation will not work, but he sent the silver in, or said that I was stupid. This 5,000 inches of silver is not a small amount, and the Xian army can send 5,000 silver so generously! ”

Cao Sheng's envoy questioned, and Zhou Kong was angry:

"Cao Shenge, Han Qi was sent by the general to surrender in the Xian military camp, and after the Xian army saw through it, he made him come to the discord, and now Han Qi has just entered the city, and he was arrested by your Shengxun Division to interrogate the traitor, isn't this clear."

"Even so, how can the Xianjun send five thousand inches of silver, can this be fake?"

"This is the most hateful thing about the Xianjun. Xianguo is now very rich, and the most important thing is gold and silver. It entered the city with gold and silver, with the intention of disturbing the hearts of our army, and your Holy Orders are so aggressive, there is no need to wait until tomorrow for things that should not have been known by outsiders, and the whole city will know that five thousand silver has come in Chengli, and the people's hearts will not be fluctuating. ”

"General Zhou is questioning my Holy Order!"

"Don't dare, the Holy Orders have all collaborated with the enemy, and the head of this general has not been placed on her desk yet."

"You!" Cao Sheng was angry, clenched his fists and said forbearantly: "This place is the Holy Order, and the Holy Order Division has the law of the Holy Order, and it is not your turn to talk about it, General Zhou." ”

"Hmph, General Ben is not interested. Release me immediately, or I'll do it myself. ”

"Okay, the envoy will give you General Zhou's face today, let's go!"

Cao Sheng's envoy was extremely reluctant to let Han Qi go, and when he left, Han Qi did not forget the five thousand inches of silver:

"General Zhou, I don't want that silver."

"What went into the dog's mouth, you still expect to spit it out, let's go!"

"But, but I still have more than 300 brothers detained in the Xianjun camp, and the lives of 300 brothers are more than 5,000 silver, if I don't go back, Bailiyan will have to cut them down in two days."

"Let's go back to the camp with me first."

Zhou Kong shouted and dragged Han Qi out of the Holy Order Division and back to the office, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

When he returned to the office, Fang Ke didn't know yet, and when he saw Zhou Kong's anger, he asked:

"General Zhou, where is the silver, why haven't you seen the silver?"

At this time, Xiaolianzi said:

"It's not that the Holy Orders have withheld it."

"What, it's deducted!" Fang Ke was taken aback: "We haven't surrendered the city yet, this has taken the enemy's silver, what is this, what should I do if it is spread in the future." ”

"What's the matter, if you want to say that he's stupid!"

Xiao Lianzi scolded, and Zhou Kong answered:

"Stupid fart. Just now, I was thinking, how could Bailiyan be so kind, it turned out that she still had such a hand. ”

"What a hand, General Zhou." Han Qi asked.

"These five thousand inches of silver are more powerful than any means, now there is a shortage of money everywhere in the city, I can't wait to take all the pants, Bailiyan sent in five thousand silver at this time, where is the kindness, he wants to use this five thousand silver to make me and others greedy and kill each other."

"This can't be, kill yourself for the silver, so many brothers, they are all our old bottoms, how can they kill for the silver, not to mention that 5,000 silver is not enough for 30,000 people."

Han Qi's analysis was the head, but in exchange for Zhou Kong's scolding:

"Idiot, the world is going to be as dead as you, what are you still alive for, go to death. You didn't see those guys in the Holy Order just now, all of them were insatiable. As soon as the silver entered the city, it entered the pocket of the Holy Lord, and if it had not been for the fact that Ben would have ransomed you, your head would have been hung at the entrance of the vegetable market tomorrow, and you would have been charged with collaborating with the enemy. ”

Zhou Kong found at this time that the five thousand silver was more poisonous than poison, just fifty or five hundred was not a huge amount, and thousands of gold and silver were astronomical amounts.

Gold and silver in the Central Plains have always been scarce, and the purchasing power of an inch of silver and ten copper coins, or the usual new coins, is not equipped, and what can be bought by an inch of silver, ten copper coins are often not bought, and a county's annual silver tax is not three or two thousand inches of silver.

Baili Yan sent five thousand to the city in one go, not so much to send five thousand silver, but to send it into the city to flood beasts, and greed is undoubtedly the most poisonous in the world, and there is no antidote to the poison.
