"Prime Minister!" Xu Shu's personal attendant walked over. Leaning into Xu Shu's ear, he whispered: "Prime Minister, I have found out, and they are resting in the woods not far away." I was afraid that they would show me, so I didn't dare to come any closer. ”

"They didn't move!"

"No, I haven't come out since I entered the grove, so I guess I'm resting there!"

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on it, and we'll do it at night."

……

In the dead of night, Zhang Hu leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.

As a soldier, Zhang Hu has long developed a habit that he can fall asleep when he closes his eyes, and similarly, if there is a slight shout, Zhang Hu will also be awakened.

Zhang Hu's guards were already tired, most of them had already rested, and only one person was still keeping vigil, but this person also did not dare to light the torches, just sat in the moonlight. Just keep looking around.

A bright moon hung in the air, and in the faint moonlight, although it was not so far that it could not reach out and lose sight of its five fingers, the visual range was not very far.

"Whoosh......" A few sounds suddenly broke the silence of the night sky, and several fire points fell from the sky.

It was a few burning arrows.

The arrows fell, and the sparks suddenly rose to light up the surroundings.

Then, the arrows took advantage of the bright light of the stars and fell from the sky, aiming at the soldier who was keeping vigil.

"Not good, enemy attack! Oops......" shouted, and was hit by an arrow.

Zhang Hu reacted immediately, got up from the ground, and drew his blade at the same time.

"Everyone, be careful! There are enemies! Zhang Hu flew the incoming arrow with a sword, followed by a roll, hiding behind a big tree. As soon as Zhang Hu left, several arrows were inserted in the position where Zhang Hu was just now.

"Oops......" Another scream sounded, and Zhang Hu knew that another brother had fallen.

In the darkness, countless arrows flew from all directions, and Zhang Hu couldn't tell where the arrows were coming from, let alone find those who shot arrows.

"Where did the rats come from, they only dare to put cold arrows, come out with their head skills, fight with Lao Tzu, don't hide your head and show your tail!" One of Zhang Hu's soldiers shouted.

However, the shout revealed his location. The arrow immediately shot in the direction of the sound.

"Oops!" Screams rang out. It was clear that the man who was screaming was shot.

This time, everyone didn't dare to speak out anymore, and hid quietly for fear of being revealed again. And the arrows are only tentatively fired.

"How so!" Zhang Hu screamed secretly.

The enemy appeared here with arrows, and it was obvious that he had been prepared.

"Who the hell is it?" Zhang Hu casually pulled out an arrow and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, this arrow, this is our arrow, it is shot from a sharp crossbow, this kind of crossbow is made in the army, how can this be! Could it be that it is your own people who shoot arrows? ”

"It's very close to the military camp, could it be that it was sent from the prime minister's military camp?" Thinking of this, Zhang Hu suddenly shouted: "I'm Zhang Hu, don't let go of the arrow, I'm Zhang Hu!" ”

"Stop!" The shouts rang out, and the arrows immediately stopped.

"What did you just say? Say it again! Voices were heard again in the distance.

"I'm Zhang Hu, Marquis of Jinyang. Stop shooting! Zhang Hu shouted.

"General Zhang Hu?"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Light the torch!" Torches were lit around as soon as the sound sounded, and the people around them began to approach the area.

Zhang Hu looked towards the torch and saw that under the torch were all Cao soldiers. Seeing this scene, Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm Zhang Hu!" Zhang Hu walked out cautiously.

"You are General Zhang Hu?" The leader shone the front with a torch and saw Zhang Hu.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Hu. Who are you? ”

"I am under the command of the prime minister, and the spies reported that there were Han army spies in this dense forest, so we surrounded them."

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Zhang Hu, there is no basis for your words, may I ask you to bring a seal?" The visitor asked cautiously.

"Yes, please wait!" Zhang Hu took out his seal letter from his arms.

"Don't come here, just throw the seal letter over! It's not that the last general can't trust the general, but now that the army is on the march, it's better to be careful. ”

"Pretty cautious." Zhang Hu threw the official seal over.

The person who came picked up the official seal from the ground, looked at it carefully, and then put a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be really you...... Come on, release the arrows! ”

"Whoosh ......" arrows were like raindrops, tilting out, rushing towards Zhang Hu.

"What?" Zhang Hu watched in surprise as the arrow struck, but he didn't have time to dodge.

"Ahh Zhang Hu screamed, looked ahead unwillingly, and fell down.

"General!" The guards poured in.

"Kill them, not one of them will be left!"

……

In the tent, Xu Shu was still wiping his sword.

"The sword is still sharp, but things are not people...... How many heroes do you want to have back then, and how many are left now? Heroes, a hundred years later. It's just this pei loess, but this sword can be sharp for thousands of years......"

"Prime Minister." The squire walked in. He also holds a wooden box in his hand.

Xu Shu raised his head and asked, "How are things going?" ”

"Prime Minister, the matter is done, and that person's rank is here. No one was left behind. ”

"Well, I know, deal with it well, and burn it down with the forest, so as not to leave any traces."

"Yes."

……

A raging fire ignited, and soon enveloped the entire grove. Under the night sky, the bright light of the fire illuminated the neighborhood as if it were day. Some of the panicked animals began to run away, and some of them were still burning with flames.

Xu Shu came to the outside of the tent, looking at the bright fire red in the distance, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, under such a fire, people will never survive, and when the fire is extinguished, everything will turn into dust.

……

The days passed, and there was no news from the reinforcements, which made Cao Zhen very anxious.

Calculate the time. Even if there is a problem on Xu Shu's side, Xiahou Ba of Yingchuan should also have some movement.

"Could it be that Zhang Hu is in some trouble?" Cao Zhen's brows have been tightly locked into the word "Sichuan".

As time goes by, the food becomes less and less, and if we wait any longer, I am afraid that Cao Jun will run out of food.

"We can't wait any longer, no matter what, we have to fight as soon as possible." Cao Zhen took a deep breath, and then said, "Come on, beat the drum and raise the tent!" ”

……

Han army camp.

"Your Majesty, Cao Zhen has sent a messenger. He said that he asked to see His Majesty. ”

"Emissary? Bring it to the church! Also, let the generals also go and see what this Cao Zhen is going to do. Adou said.

In the tent, Adou sat in the middle, and the civil and military generals were lined up on the left and right.

A man dressed as a scribe was brought in, came to the tent, looked at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Adou.

"Bold, when you see Your Majesty, don't kneel yet!"

"I am Wei Chen, you are the Lord of Han, why should I kneel to you!" The waiter said proudly.

However, the two countries do not fight each other, and the envoy does not kneel, and Adou cannot use the envoy to recruit him.

"Okay, if you don't kneel, you won't kneel!" Adou waved his hand, and then asked, "Cao Zhen asked you to come, what's the matter?" ”

"I'm here to write a war letter." The envoy said without humility or arrogance, and at the same time took out a brocade book from his bosom and handed it over.

Zhang Wei presented the brocade book to Adou's hand, Adou opened it and saw that there was no difference from the general war book, it was nothing more than the words of some radical generals, and then the time and place were agreed, and the two sides officially fought.

After Adou read it, he handed the battle book to Zhuge Liang below, and after Zhuge Liang read it, he handed it down one by one for the soldiers to read.

The envoy waited patiently for everyone to finish reading it, and then said, "I think you have already finished reading it, and I don't know if the Han Lord will dare to come out to fight." ”

Adou shook his head: "Go back and tell Cao Zhen that we won't fight." ”

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the dignified Han Lord turned out to be a brave person. I didn't dare to fight. The messenger snorted coldly, and a look of disdain appeared on his face, which made everyone feel very unhappy.

"Don't I dare to fight, your general Cao Zhen understands best. You go back and tell Cao Zhen that if you want to leave, you can break through my camp first. A strange smile appeared on Adou's face.

……

Cao Jun camp.

Cao Zhentie's face turned blue and looked at the returning messenger.

Adou didn't leave the station, which was also expected by Cao Zhen. If Cao Zhen was in Adou's position, he would not choose to fight.

"General, I failed to complete the task, please punish the general."

"It's not your fault, the Han army doesn't fight, it's also what I expected." Cao Zhen paused, and then said, "Do you dare to go to the Han camp again?" This time, I want you to bring some gifts to that Liu family. ”

"Why don't you go again, why don't you dare!"

……

"Your Majesty, the messenger is here again." Zhang Wei said.

"Here we go again, let's go and have a look."

The messenger still stood there neither humbly nor arrogant.

"What are you doing again?" Adou asked.

"The General asked me to bring you a gift." As he spoke, the messenger lifted a brocade box and opened it, revealing a woman's garment.

"Hmph, it's an old trick, didn't Zhuge Liang use this trick when he provoked Sima Yi...... Not unusual. Adou thought to himself, and his face was not shocked.

The generals in the tent, seeing this woman's clothes, all understood what Cao Zhen meant, and most of them showed angry expressions, and a few people still did not change their faces.

Adou, naturally, is one of them.

The messenger secretly glanced at Adou, and Adou's unwavering expression still made the envoy feel uneasy. The young emperor, facing this woman's dress, was surprisingly calm, and the messenger felt that this move might fail again
