On the eighth night of the first month of April, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Xu Chao and Liu Dongyang discussed in the secret room of the mansion how to kill Bibai and Bi Chengen and Bi Cheng's favored father and son unobtrusively, end the power of the Bi family, and then coerce the whole city to surrender, and which people must be killed, such as Tu Wenxiu, if he doesn't kill this guy, he will definitely find a way to avenge the father and son of the Bi family, which is unacceptable to the two of them.

"I can go to Zhou Guozhu to unite, he has 3,000 foot soldiers under his command, I still have 300 horses and 2,000 foot soldiers left under my command, you still have an artillery team under your command, and the firearms of the whole city are in our hands, as long as Zhou Guozhu falls to us, we will have the advantage, surround the mansion of Bibai, and then kill them, it will be a big deal!"

Xu Chao analyzed very calmly.

Liu Dongyang nodded: "Then, without further ado, you immediately contact Zhou Guozhu and persuade him to cooperate with us, and I will transfer troops and lead people to surround and kill Bibai father and son, success or failure in one fell swoop!" ”

"Hmmm! It's a matter of success or failure. Xu Chao stretched out his hand: "The matter is successful, the total wealth is rich, the matter is defeated, and there is no place to bury the dead." ”

Liu Dongyang reached out and held Xu Chao's hand and formed a life-and-death alliance.

And what they didn't know was that at this moment, Bi Bai had already sent his son Bi Chengzhong to Zhou Guozhu's garrison camp.

Zhou Guozhu is worried about the future of the rebels, the city is besieged, and he has been beaten back many times, the two major forces in the city are not stable with each other, and he is quite embarrassed by this third-party force, the only friendly thing is Bi Chengzhong, but Bi Chengpet is still the son of Bi Bai, and he is coerced into rebellion.

In the midst of trouble, someone came to report that Bi Chengpet was coming.

Zhou Guozhu hurriedly sent someone to greet him, and soon, Bi Chengpet opened the camp tent and appeared in front of Zhou Guozhu.

"Brother pet, it's so late, what's the matter with me?"

Bi Chengpet looked around to see that there was no one, approached Zhou Guozhu, and got straight to the point: "Come and ask Brother Zhou to do a big thing." ”

"Big deal?" Zhou Guozhu felt a little funny, who still doesn't know the current situation, can he still do great things? So he asked suspiciously, "Big deal?" What's the big deal? ”

Bi Chengpet lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhou, do you know that Xu Chao sent people out of the city behind our backs to talk to Wei Xuezeng about surrender?" ”

Bi Chengpet broke the news coldly, and Zhou Guozhu was so frightened that he stood up suddenly: "What? He's going to ......"

Zhou Guozhu's words didn't come out, Bi Chengzhong stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, signaling him to whisper, Zhou Guozhu swallowed his saliva and calmed down: "You mean, Xu Chao wants to surrender?" Surrender to Wei Xuezeng? They have already contacted Wei Xuezeng? But how do you know? Who told you that? ”

Bi Chengzhong said in a low voice: "The person sent out by Xu Chao accepted my benefits, he was seen by my people when he went down to the city, and when he went to the city, I waited there to tell him about it, and he also confessed, it was Liu Dongyang who instructed Xu Chao to do it, in exchange for the surrender of the whole city and the lives of the two of them." ”

Zhou Guozhu was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't speak, at the same time, the feeling of betrayal permeated his heart, he thought that they were all Han people, they were all original Ming military households, and they could get closer, who would have thought that these two guys still excluded him, and didn't bring anything with him, even the two of them lived.

"Is that true?"

Zhou Guozhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

"How can this be fake? Brother Zhou, you should know that you and I have a close relationship, and I have never been liked by the two of them, and they are also suspecting that you may tell me, so I didn't tell you, and the current plan is all for the two of them, how did I ever think of you? Maybe, in order to save the lives of the two of them, they will kill you together, in order to survive, these two people can do anything! ”

Zhou Guozhu frowned, his eyes were panicked, his eyes were full of panic, he leaned less, raised his head and looked directly at Bi Chengzhong: "What is the purpose of you telling me this?" ”

"It's easy! I just don't want to die! I don't want Brother Zhou to be sold so inexplicably! Bi Chengpet said with a sincere look on his face: "So I came to inform you that I want Brother Zhou to leave a way for me to live." ”

"You're going to strike first? Kill them? ”

Zhou Guozhu regained his composure at this time.

"That's right! If they are unkind, don't blame my father and son for being unjust, everyone is for survival, for wealth, and no one can say anything. ”

Bi Chengpet's complexion began to distort.

"Even if you kill them, how can you survive? Outside the city is surrounded by the Ming army, we are only left with a lonely city, at most two months we will start eating bark, horses, grass and even people, how long do you think we will live? What else can we do to survive? Will the Ming army watch us live? Kill them today, tomorrow the Ming army will start to attack the city, and we won't survive! ”

"Nope! We can live! Bi Chengzhong's face was completely distorted: "We will continue to send people out of the city to attack, looking for the weakest place in the Ming army's defense to attack, even if it is just one person rushing out, as long as we can have someone rush out, we can bring the news of our request for help to the grassland, and promise heavy profits!"

The 300,000 people of Ningxia City and the gold and silver treasures of the whole city, whoever can save us, these things are theirs! We may not be able to stay in Han after that, but there is still a chance for us to survive on the grassland! Brother Zhou! This is the only chance to live, we don't have another chance! ”

Bi Chengpet held Zhou Guozhu's hand tightly, and pinched Zhou Guozhu's hand "gurgling", but Zhou Guozhu didn't feel it at all.

That's right, that's right, there's nothing wrong at all, this is the only hope to live, the only place to live, the Ming Court will not accept their surrender, after this time, their only way to survive is in the grassland!

"General! General Xu Chao asked to see him. ”

A pass woke up the two of them, Zhou Guozhu's expression was very confused, and Bi Chengzhong had realized the only opportunity, and immediately whispered: "I will hide behind your screen, if you want to join Xu Chao to kill me, I have no complaints, but if you want to live, throw a cup as a sign and kill Xu Chao together!" ”

After speaking, Bi Chengpet hid behind the screen, Zhou Guozhu was completely awakened by the gust of wind he brought, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Invite General Xu Chao, by the way, you didn't say that General Bi Chengzhong is here, right?" ”

"The subordinate didn't say anything."

"Well, don't say anything, just let him in."

The soldiers nodded, and after a while, Xu Chao, who was wrapped in a bandage on his head, appeared in Zhou Guozhu's tent.

"Brother Xu, your ears are okay?"

Xu Chao smiled bitterly with an obscure face: "What a ball, Xiao Ruhui, that king and eight calves, Lao Tzu must kill him when he finds an opportunity, it hurts Lao Tzu to death, Brother Zhou, I can't hide it, brother, I came today, I have something important to discuss." ”

"Big deal? Brother, you're like this, what other important things do you have to discuss? ”

Zhou Guozhu quietly poured wine for Xu Chao.
