Xiling City, the night is deep.

At night, there is a curfew in Xiling, and the streets and alleys are quiet.

A magnificent carriage is slowly driving on a gallop road in Xiling, and around the carriage, thousands of elite soldiers and horses are protecting each other.

"Master Hou!"

Inside the carriage, the space was very open, Huang Zu's burly figure sat in it, and his advisor Su Fei sat on the side, Su Fei's face was calm, and Huang Zu, who was looking at him, said respectfully: "This is a good opportunity, if it weren't for this opportunity, they would be annihilated in one fell swoop!" ”

"Su Fei, are you really sure that Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu have already entered the city?"

Huang Zu, who was in a false sleep, heard this, and suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

A day earlier, he had already sent Fang Yi with dozens of assassins, using the foundation of his Xiling camp to quietly transport these assassins in, and then assassinate Zhuge Liang.

But Fang Yi's assassination was obviously a failure, and he was discovered before he got close to Zhuge Liang, and then he was rushed to Guan Yu and directly killed on the spot, dozens of assassins, none of them survived.

Huang Zu received the news, and in a fit of rage, he had the opportunity to smash his favorite vase.

For Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, he hated it in his bones, but the Xiling camp was heavily guarded, and if he wanted to kill them, he had to wait until his elite soldiers returned to defend before he had the ability.

However, if Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu suddenly got into it by themselves, it would be different, as long as they were in Xiling City, Guan Yu was strong, and he was just a horseman, he could directly kill them without much effort.

Because this is Xiling. He is the king, he is the boss.

"Master Hou, my subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on the Xiling camp!"

Su Fei bowed slightly, and said firmly: "The spies saw Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu enter the city together, and then enter Liu Qi's mansion!" ”

"The subordinates suspect that Liu Qi invited Hou Ye because they set up a bureau!" Su Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of essence. Said: "They should want to strike first!" ”

"Strike first? How many soldiers and horses did they bring? ”

When Huang Zu heard this, his eyes were clear, and there was a scorching murderous aura flowing.

"Report to the Hou Ye, at most more than 100 pro-soldiers!"

Su Fei said: "The soldiers and horses of the Xiling camp have not moved a bit, and a certain family has been letting the scouts stare at it to death, but Guan Yunchang is a person, and he can become an army by himself, which is extremely dangerous, if he makes a move." In time, the thousands of elites around Hou Ye may not be able to resist! ”

He is not alarmist, how dangerous a super martial artist who has practiced qi is to become a gang, Huang Zu also understands in his heart.

"Haha, I actually entered the city with hundreds of personal soldiers, God help me!"

Huang Zu was fearless, sneered, and said, "A Guan Yunchang." Even if he had the power to reach the heavens, he would die tonight. Hmph, this is Xiling, since they want to find death together, a certain family doesn't need to be polite to them! ”

In Xiling, the strength he can mobilize, even if Guan Yu has three heads and six arms. I can't stop it.

"Please give an order!" Su Fei's eyes lit up.

"Su Fei!"

Huang Zu turned his head, looked at Su Fei, moved slightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and a strange smile was outlined at the corner of his mouth. Said loudly: "You led 3,000 soldiers and horses, personally went to watch the Xiling camp, Guan Yu Zhuge Liang died, and immediately recovered the Xiling camp." ”

"No!"

When Su Fei heard this, there was a sneer in his heart, this old guy actually guarded against him.

If Huang Zu really trusted him, it should be Su Fei who led the troops to besiege Guan Yu and them now, but at this juncture, he broke away from Su Fei.

"So-and-so was thinking about how to get out, but you did it all at once!"

Su Fei didn't have any nostalgia, and the carriage he left, if before, he had a little bit of unbearability with Huang Zu, but now, he let go.

He knew very well that Huang Zu would be a dead end if he went like this.

"Huang Hao!"

"In!"

Seeing Su Fei leave the carriage, Huang Hao, the leader of the pro-soldiers, walked in and asked with some puzzlement: "Master Hou, why don't you let Su Fei personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress Zhuge Liang and them!" ”

"Xiao Hao, how could he give his life to an outsider!"

Huang Zu smiled coldly, he was a typical child of a family, and in his heart, only the people of the Huang family were the most trusted: "Huang Hao, a certain Ru ordered you to immediately dispatch three thousand elite soldiers, bring a hundred large-scale siege bed crossbows, and then besiege Liu Qi's mansion to me!" ”

Guan Yu is strong, and he can't dodge the bed crossbow of all-round sniping.

In this battle, Huang Zu was full of pride, whether it was Guan Yu or Zhuge Liang, they had to die, they must die.

"No!"

Hearing this, Huang Hao lowered his head and nodded respectfully, but at an angle that Huang Zu couldn't see, the flickering light in his eyes was obviously a little struggling and a little complicated.

It wasn't what I wanted, but I had to do it.

Huang Hao left the carriage, rode away, went to the camp in the east of the city, immediately dispatched three thousand elites, and then brought a hundred bed crossbows from the arsenal.

In the night of Xiling, there was a little more Xiao killing.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The first strong in Xiling City, the Zhao family.

The Zhao family's mansion is in the north of the city, built in the highest place in the entire Xiling, covering a huge area and luxuriously decorated.

Under the light of night, the head of the Zhao family, a lean middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing an ordinary robe, with a very heavy majesty on his body, with his hands on his back, stood indifferently on the highest listening tower of the Zhao family's mansion.

And standing beside him was a strange-looking young man, Pang Tong.

"Uncle Zhao, what are you thinking?"

Pang Tong's eyes looked into the distance, and his sharp gaze seemed to pass through layers of darkness, and then fell on Liu Qi's mansion.

That was the prelude to the Battle of Xiling.

The head of the Zhao family, whose name is Zhao Ji, is thirty and eight, and he is a very shrewd person.

Although the Zhao family is strong, its reputation and strength are not below that of ordinary families, and they also have some contacts with the Pang family in Lumen Mountain. I used to see Pang Tong in the past.

With his identity, the outspoken words of Pang Tong can be regarded as justifiable.

The head of the Zhao family turned his head, looked at this young man, and said indifferently: "Shiyuan, if the Zhao family surrenders to Wu Guo." What do you get? ”

Pang Tong is now in the wind and water of Wu Guoming, and as soon as he appeared in the Zhao family, Zhao Ji knew his intention.

"What do you want?"

Hearing this, Pang Tong squinted, and the corners of his mouth outlined a faint sarcastic smile, but asked.

It is not that there are no people who talk about conditions with Wu Guo, but it is obvious that the Zhao family is not qualified enough.

"It depends on Wu Guo's sincerity!"

Zhao Ji's eyes were very sharp, and he looked at Pang Tong deadly. said: "We don't want much, but at least we have to live a better life than now, otherwise, why should we take refuge in Wu State!" ”

Since Wu Guo came to the door, he obviously needed the help of the Zhao family, if he could have a good condition, he really didn't mind Wu Guo who surrendered directly.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhao is honest enough!"

Pang Tong heard this. The corners of his mouth grinned, and he smiled. said lightly: "Jiangxia County will be Wu Guo sooner or later, and the Zhao family will survive under Wu Guo's policy sooner or later, helping Wu Guo is helping yourself, as for whether you are doing well or not, it depends on yourself in the end!" ”

"You mean to think. Nothing, empty gloves white wolf! When Zhao Ji heard Pang Tong's words, his expression suddenly became cold, and a chill burst out of his eyes: "Pang Shiyuan, this is Xiling." It's not Jinling, you don't believe it, a certain family can say a word, you can't get out of Xiling! ”

The Zhao family is the number one powerful in Xiling, even if it is far inferior to the Huang family, but the power of control is amazing.

"Believe!"

Pang Tong's face was still calm and unchanged, and he said lightly: "If your Zhao family didn't have any strength, Pang Tong wouldn't have risked being exposed today and walked into the door of the Zhao family!" ”

"And what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ji took a deep breath, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Pang Tong, Pang Tong's calmness made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

The Zhao family did want to break away from Huang Zu's control, and taking refuge in the Wu State was the best choice, because the people in Jiangxia did not have much trust in the Chu State.

"Do you want Wu Guo to promise?"

Pang Tong thought for a moment and said.

"Of course!" Zhao Ji nodded directly and said, "Now that you need the strength of the Zhao family, shouldn't you give us some benefits to the Zhao family?" ”

"If you want the horse to run, give the horse a little fodder!" Zhao Ji added.

"Do you know what you're doing right now? Hijack Wu Guo! ”

Pang Tong's eyes burst out with a gleam: "Your courage is not ordinary!" ”

Wu is the most powerful vassal state in the world, and it will not be a small Zhao family that can negotiate terms with Wu.

"It's not hijacking!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he pinched a handful of sweat in his hands, still tough, and said coldly: "It's just that you need the Zhao family, so it's reasonable for the Zhao family to put forward some conditions!" ”

"Do you really need it?" Pang Tong's face turned cold.

"Of course!"

Zhao Ji knew that after this opportunity, there would be no next chance, and Wu Guo would be able to make the Zhao family climb into a family.

In fact, his conditions are very simple, there is only one county officer, or the position of the county master's book, and it is enough.

Of course, this cannot be said explicitly.

Pang Tong squinted, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "When we need you, we can give you a promise, and you can rest assured, as long as Wu Guo makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it, but ......"

"But what?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart moved slightly.

"But when you have no use value, will you be sure that our Wu Kingdom will not settle accounts after the autumn?"

Pang Tong smiled coldly and said calmly: "Wu Guo seized Xuzhou and took Youzhou, how many heroes are involved, and it is not for nothing that wants to hold Wu hostage, but in the end there is only one end, do you want to know?" ”

"What a ruthless Wu Guo!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart was cold and a little timid, Pang Tong was right, now they are very important to Wu Guo, but once Jiangxia is taken, the value of use that their Zhao family does not have, will inevitably face the aftermath of the autumn.

At that time, the court of Wu State will not have to do anything, as long as he sends a sentence, the Zhao family will be ruined.

When he thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wu is not barbaric!"

Pang Tong frightened him, his face was correct, and he returned to the main topic, saying: "You have helped Wu Guo, and the reward you have given you, Wu Guo will not be less than the slightest, but Wu Guo will never allow anyone to threaten!" ”

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Ji was a little depressed, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said.

He didn't have a little burden on his heart to return to Wu State, and over the years, Jiangxia had been too chaotic. Moreover, Huang Zu's suppression of the Zhao family has reached an extreme, and if it continues like this, the Zhao family will only have a dead end.

"Huh!"

When Pang Tong heard this, a bright smile appeared on his somewhat special face: "Uncle Zhao is really a smart person, and those who know the times are handsome!" ”

"In Jiangxia, few people are optimistic about the war between Chu and Wu!" Zhao Ji looked at Pang Tong and said calmly: "Maybe in our hearts, Wu Guo will call sooner or later!" ”

"Huang Zu goes to the banquet, there will be a battle tonight!"

When Pang Tong heard this, his heart moved slightly, from this sentence, he could know that maybe in Jiangxia, the people of Wu State were more vigorous than Chu State, but now he had to solve Xiling, his face was straight, and he asked: "How many soldiers and horses can the Zhao family control in the city?" ”

"The Zhao family has been suppressed by Huang Zu very badly over the years!" Zhao Ji smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Order at most a thousand soldiers and horses!" ”

"Enough, I copied Huang Zu's nest!"

Pang Tong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Jiangxia has always been rich, but when a certain road passes, the people are hungry and unable to meet their bodies, and the city wall has not been repaired for many years. ”

"Huang Zu is very greedy!"

Zhao Ji nodded, he knew Huang Zu very well, and immediately said: "This person loves money, and keeps money, if it weren't for his greed, he would only have so little soldiers and horses." ”

Jiangxia County is a big county, if Huang Zu worked hard, 100,000 elite soldiers would be able to recruit, but now all the soldiers and horses from all over the country add up, about 60,000 or 70,000.

"Good!"

When Pang Tong heard this, he sneered: "Since this is the case, a certain family will want it all!" ”

"But what if Huang Zu survived this catastrophe?" Zhao Ji was still a little worried.

"Huang Zu, they can't escape this catastrophe!"

Pang Tong looked into the distance and said coldly: "When he enters Zhuge Kongming's trap, he can't get out." (To be continued......)
