Night was approaching, Zhuge Ming sat behind the general's case, and the whole person looked tired.

This is the third day of the siege of the Wei army, and the Qi army inside the city has been cut off from the outside world, which makes the Qi army generals feel uneasy.

They are now under the siege of 80,000 Wei troops, and they can't feel the pressure unless they are in it, but Zhuge Ming, as a general, is under great pressure.

Being besieged was already a very annoying thing, but the Wei army did not attack the city for three days, and this method of delay greatly dissipated the morale of the Qi sergeants.

This is what Zhuge Ming is very worried about, if he doesn't even have the sharpness of the last battle, then what will the Qi army do to resist the powerful Wei army?

Moreover, the Wei army was not completely inactive, although there was no fighting in the past two days, but the Wei army used various means to persuade the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender, which can be described as exhaustive.

"Wei people, it's really hateful!" Zhuge Ming said hatefully.

He was the only one in the lobby, so Zhuge Ming couldn't find someone to talk to, so he could only sulk by himself.

In fact, in Qufu City, there are few people worthy of Zhuge Ming's dialogue.

Lu Boji looked for Zhuge Ming and disdained to talk to him, and there was another person who was his partner this time, Zhou Can, the general who commanded another Qi army.

It's just that Zhuge Ming and Zhou Can can't get along, because their classes or political positions are opposite.

Zhuge Ming was born in the Linzi Zhuge family, but Zhou Can was promoted by the monarch, and it was strange that they would get along.

But sometimes he was afraid of something, and when Zhuge Ming was upset, Zhou Can walked in from outside the lobby.

"General Zhuge , there is something very strange in the following, and I have come to discuss with you!" Zhou Can said after entering the lobby.

Although he dislikes Zhou Can in his heart, now everyone is in a trench, so Zhuge Ming still gets along with Zhou Can on the surface.

So Zhuge Ming stood up and pretended to greet Zhou Can and said, "Why do you want General Zhou to come in person?" ”

Zhuge Ming was so eager, Zhou Can was a little surprised in his heart.

Qi is not Wei State, strictly speaking, the state politics are still controlled by the Shi clan, so Zhou Can's white body is involuntarily a head shorter than Zhuge Ming.

After the two exchanged polite words, Zhou Can got down to business and said: "Brother Zhuge , there is a school captain in the Beicheng under my control who has come to report that there are guests coming to the door in the Xu family mansion this afternoon, and they have gone there several times!" ”

"In the past few days, the Wei army has besieged the city, and there is almost no contact between the families in the northern city, but today the Xu family has come so much, I feel very suspicious!"

Hearing Zhou Can's words, Zhuge Ming had the urge to scold at that time, the people's mansion was just receiving guests, what was there to doubt!

Although he didn't think so, Zhuge Ming still asked: "The Xu family, the Xu family?" ”

Zhou Can said: "It's the Xu family in the north of the city!" ”

"The Xu family in the north of the city ......" Zhuge Ming read it again, he had an impression of this family and knew that the Xu family was the largest family in Qufu.

In the past few days, all the major clans have closed their doors, but the Xu family has the kung fu to attract guests, and I have to say that it is indeed very suspicious.

What's more, the other party is still a big family in Qufu, so its abnormal behavior is even more acceptable.

In order to defend the city, no suspicion can be let go, this is the principle that Zhuge Ming set for himself.

Therefore, after Zhuge Ming thought twice, he said to Zhou Can: "Since it is abnormal, then arrest them all!" ”

"This Xu family has supported Ji Yi at the beginning, who knows if he is still interested in Wei State, let's rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

Hearing Zhuge Ming's words, Zhou Can also agreed, and even wanted to directly execute these people.

But Zhuge Ming couldn't agree with him doing this, after all, they were now in Qufu City, and there were nearly 100,000 people of Lu in it, and they still needed the support of the people of Lu State.

Beicheng is controlled by Zhou Can, so of course he should also do the work of arresting people.

So he clapped his palms, and a soldier came in from outside the lobby, and Zhou Can asked this person to convey the military order.

So, after the conversation between the two, the fate of the Xu family and other big families was decided.

In fact, when Xu Wei called Xie Erren at the beginning, he was still very secretive, and when he called the second wave of people, he was accidentally discovered by the Qi soldiers.

But the Qi army knew a little too late, and by the time they mobilized their troops to rush to Xu Wei's mansion, the Xu family's conspiracy was over.

In the end, Xu Wei still persuaded everyone to take a risk.

Of course, the reason why everyone was allowed to pass was because the Xu family won the city patrol soldiers, which made their success rate much higher.

When everyone secretly left the Xu Mansion, their plan had already begun to be implemented, but the Xu Mansion became the most idle.

At this time, Xu Wei was negotiating benefits with Jian Ding, after all, he helped Jian Ding facilitate this matter.

Regarding Xu Wei's request, Jian Ding naturally agreed, anyway, he reported it, and it was none of his business whether the above could agree or not.

It's just that Jian Ding is in a hurry about this matter, he just wants to leave the Xu family as soon as possible, it is still too dangerous for him here, even if the Xu family has agreed to his request.

"Rest assured, Mr. Xu, I, Jian, will definitely present your merits to the prince, your benefits are absolutely indispensable, and Jian will have to beg you to take care of it at that time!" Jian Ding was full of flattery, but in fact, he was absent-minded at this time.

Xu Wei laughed, and then left, but still put Jian Ding under house arrest.

Let Jian Ding go, he and Wei will lose contact, and when the Wei army breaks the city, no one can prove the merits of his Xu family, so Xu Wei must leave Jian Ding behind.

Xu Wei actually didn't believe much in Jian Ding's words, and now he only prayed that the family could survive the war.

But at this time, a team of soldiers had already driven towards the Xu Mansion, and they were here to arrest people!

When Zhou Can stayed at Zhuge Ming to discuss the war, while waiting for the Xu family to be controlled, a soldier came to report that the Xu family was really directly opposed.

This made Zhuge Ming and the two of them surprised, although they suspected that the Xu family was plotting wrong, but they actually didn't believe it, who knew that the Xu family was really opposed.

"Good guts!" Zhuge Ming scolded angrily.

Then he said to the soldier: "Pass the order, the Xu family will not leave a single mouth, and if you dare to oppose our Qi country, you will have to pay the price!" ”

Zhou Can was also very angry at this time, Beicheng was the territory he controlled, and the Xu family didn't take him seriously!

Moreover, doesn't this mean that he Zhou Can was not suppressed effectively, and the villain was born at the bottom.

"Kill, leave no one!" Zhou Can also followed.

The two generals gave orders at the same time, and when they came to report to the soldiers, they hurried to give the order, and no one could save the Xu family.

The Xu family's shouting and killing quickly alarmed the mansion next to them, and then the news spread quickly.

Half an hour later, the heads of the families who had just attended the meeting knew about the situation of the Xu family, and at this time, Zhuge Ming also issued an order to destroy the Xu family.

When the matter was revealed, it was when the families were afraid, but at this time, when they heard that the Xu family had all been killed, they were even more afraid.

The Qi army's cruel and domineering methods also completely forced these people to rebel. They are also afraid that they will be coexisted with by the Xu family, and then suffer the fate of extermination.

Therefore, several major clans were launched at the same time, and more than 2,000 Lu soldiers who still existed were also mobilized, and their goal was the north gate of Qufu.

When Zhuge Ming and the others were still angry at the west gate, they heard the earth-shattering sound of drums from the north gate, which made their faces change suddenly.

This is a sign that a strong enemy is invading!

The north gate was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Can, and at this time, he didn't care about the etiquette, so he stood up directly from his seat, and then rushed to the outside of the lobby.

At this time, there happened to be a messenger who rushed to meet Zhou Can at the stone steps outside the lobby.

"What's going on?" Zhou Can asked coldly, this is the second time that something has happened in his jurisdiction.

Then, I heard the soldier panic and say: "General, the people of Lu have rebelled......
