What a shadow of a famous tree! Zu Ti suddenly appeared in Xuzhou, completely disrupting the original plan of Zhao Gu and Wang Sang, and in his eagerness, he had to postpone his plan to enter Xuzhou, and then determine the next step after coming up with countermeasures.

"Eh, Mr. Sima, don't you have a lot of henchmen in Pengcheng? Any good suggestions? Wang Sang asked with squinted eyes.

Sima Ao was not very afraid of the short-tempered Zhao Gu, but he was wary of the unpredictable Wang Sang, so when he heard Wang Sang's question, he hurriedly stood up and said: "General, in fact, the ancestor is not worried, and the defeat of staying in the county is caused by a variety of factors. I believe that as long as we are careful and do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, a defeat like that of Liuxian will not happen again. ”

"And Xuzhou is not enough troops, and the three thousand cavalry under the command of General Zhao Dan is afraid that it has made Zu Ti worry and white-headed, if it is expected to be good, Zu Ti must be shrinking his forces at this time and defending Pengcheng. Pengcheng City is high and deep, with good generals and elite soldiers inside, and strong reinforcements on the outside. If the general wants to storm and capture, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"So if you want to take Pengcheng, you have to outwit it!"

"Shh Zhao Gu sneered and mocked: "Outwitted? Tell me how to outwit it? ”

Sima Ao didn't care, he continued to bewitch: "Two generals, I still have a few eyeliners in Pengcheng, at the critical moment, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and quietly help the army open the city gate at night, as long as the army enters the city, even if Zu Ti's ability is great, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to the sky!" ”

"Wonderful! That's a great plan! Hey, Wang Sang, what do you think of his suggestion? Zhao Gu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that Sima Ao's suggestion was very reliable, and he couldn't help but praise it again and again.

Wang Sang is not as easy to fool as Zhao Gu, he chuckled and said: "Mr. Sima's suggestion is good, but General Ben has a few questions that need Mr. Sima to solve one or two." ”

"Please make it clear to the general, and he will know everything and say everything!"

"Okay, Mr. Sima! The first question: Now we still have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, although not much, but there are quite a few, what suggestion does Mr. Sima have to let the army avoid Zu Ti's eyes and ears and arrive in Pengcheng without knowing it? ”

"The second question, and the most crucial one, is how can Mr. Sima guarantee that your people will succeed in opening the gates of Pengcheng? What if it fails? The 20,000-strong army is trapped under the fortified city, and there is no way to advance and retreat, and there is no way to retreat, and then the army will inevitably be in turmoil. ”

Zhao Gu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he didn't know what to think, so he suddenly kicked Sima Ao to the ground, then turned around and picked up the sword from the ground, pointed at Sima Ao and scolded, "MD, Sima Ao, you can do it!" Dare to play Lao Tzu! When Lao Tzu was a bandit, I don't know how many people I killed! ”

"Do you think that you were able to play Pei Dun well at the beginning, and now you can also play Lao Tzu?"

"General, you have been wronged! I was wronged! The little one was taken in by the general, and there was nothing to repay, how could he dare to deceive the general? Sima Ao stepped forward and hugged Zhao Gu's calf, begging bitterly.

"Third child, put down the sword! Mr. Sima, you also get up. Wang Sang saw that Sima Ao was also warned, and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Zhao Gu.

"Second brother, why are you stopping me, this kid didn't have a good heart, just kill him with a sword!"

When Zhao Gu and Wang Sang rebelled with Wang Mi, they once worshipped Cao Wei as brothers, but because of some dirty things, the two of them went farther and farther away from the boss Cao Wei, but the relationship between them became closer and closer.

Wang Sang asked people to rearrange the banquet, and invited Sima Ao to sit down, and the three of them began to solemnly sum up. Among them, Wang Sang and Sima Ao discussed the solution, and Zhao Gu, who had a tendon in his head, couldn't interject at all.

……

Not to mention the Hu army that is about to move in the outside world, it is said that the interior of Xuzhou has also begun to become a dark tide, and some of Sima Ao's henchmen suddenly feel that the future is bright when they learn that the master has brought the army back. In order to cooperate with the master to take Pengcheng, they have been active recently. In addition, Pei Dun has also been a little restless recently, and for a while, Pengcheng has become a little smoky.

"Brother, those battalion officers are not here today for something."

Zu Yue barged in with an unhappy face, and couldn't help but complain to Zu Yu: "Brother, what did you say happened recently?" The Xuzhou officials who greeted us warmly a few days ago are now hiding from us like a plague. ”

As if he hadn't heard anything, Zu Ti just looked at the book in his hand. After waiting for a long time and not seeing any reaction from his brother, Zu Yue couldn't help but take a step forward and continued to make a small report, "Brother, don't patronize and read, think of a way, otherwise it won't be long before we will be overwhelmed by the people below." ”

At this time, Zu Ti raised his head, glanced at his brother, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "What can I do!" We are just temporarily in charge of the military power in Xuzhou, and the people below don't take it seriously, isn't this normal? I don't have the right to remove them, it's human nature! ”

"So, that's it? Why don't I go to Xiapi to find Pei Tingshi? ”

"Don't, don't tell Pei Tingshi about this." Zu Ti solemnly warned his brother Zu Yue, he is not as easy to fool as Zu Yue, if you want to say that there is no shadow of Pei Dun behind this matter, you don't believe it if you kill him, who doesn't know that the Xuzhou family and Pei Dun are as good as wearing a pair of pants, and the entire Xuzhou officialdom is inextricably linked with the local family in Xuzhou.

This matter is really going to be stabbed to Pei Dun, I can't say that the other party really dares to brazenly take the opportunity to run back, Zu Ti heard that a few days ago, he assassinated Shi Pei Dun and expressed regret that he left early, Pei Dun is really coming, how should he deal with himself?

It's not that Zu Ti is reluctant to give up the power in his hands, but he really lacks confidence in Pei Dun, and now he finally won back a game, in case Pei Dun Hu comes, causing the entire battle situation to collapse, and it is not the people of Xuzhou who suffer in the end?

"Brother, the guard Cao is here!" Just then, Zuna came in and said.

"Lord Wei is here? Please, oh no, I'll go meet him personally. As soon as Zu Ti heard that Wei Shuo was coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

As soon as Zu Ti walked out of the hall, he saw Wei Shuo on the opposite side walking over with Zhang Erlang and Cao Hong, and Shi Shiran. I don't know what's going on, every time I see Wei Shuo, Zu Ti feels that his mood will get better inexplicably, Wei Shuo has a temperament that makes people feel involuntarily cordial, and people can't help but want to get close to him.

"General Zu, it's not too late, are you?" Wei Shuo arched his hand towards the ancestor and smiled.

"What a late come! No one came at all, except for Master Wei! Before Zu Yu had time to be polite, Zu Yue behind him couldn't help it.

"Huh?" Wei Shuo was surprised: "General Zu, what's going on?" ”

Zu Xiao glared at Zu Yue, blamed him for being too talkative, and then explained to Wei Shuo with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the people below are not careful, which makes Zu Yue unhappy." ”

Seeing that Zu Ti didn't want to say more, Wei Shuo didn't want to ask in detail, so he only smiled and said disapprerovingly: "The people below are not careful, punish him, is it worth being angry for them?" ”

Zu Yue was not convinced, and he wanted to say something, but he was forced by Zu Li's obscenity, so he had to stand aside angrily. Wei Shuo is not surprised by this, don't look at the arrogant brothers of the ancestral family, no one is convinced by anyone, but they all seem to be quite obedient to Zu Ti, as long as Zu Ti speaks, others will not object at all.

In fact, even if Zu Ti didn't say anything, Wei Shuo could guess some of it, but recently some people in Pengcheng saw that Zu Ti easily defeated the Hu people, and some couldn't help but want to seize power. Wei Shuo couldn't help but sneer secretly, that is, Zu Ti is a child of a family, and it is not good to turn his face with those family wastes, if he were Wei Shuo himself, I am afraid that he would have run away a long time ago.

However, today he happened to have something to say to Zu Ti, if it was as usual, he would not be able to speak, but with such a lever in the middle, Wei Shuo felt that this was a godsend.

So he rolled his eyes and said, "General Zu, now that the enemy and us have entered a stalemate, the situation will not change much in a short period of time. Today, there are good generals in Pengcheng to guard it, and it is basically impregnable. The spearmen under the command of Wei are not of much help when guarding the city, so it is better to take them out of the city according to the prior agreement, right? ”

"Out of town now? Isn't it a bit early? Zu Ti was a little reluctant, although he didn't get along with Wei Shuo for a long time, but he had a good impression of Wei Shuo, and felt that this person was not only polite, but also very capable, and now seeing that he was leaving, he was a little reluctant for a while.
