Chapter 217: Conspiracy
After nightfall, the moon is like a hook. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A waning moon hung in the sky, emitting a soft glow.
Southeast of the barracks, three miles, grove.
Moonlight and starlight fall, making the forest glow faint. The footsteps of water chestnuts sounded from far and near, and two figures appeared in the forest. One of them is Xu Zang, and the other is Xu Zang's guard.
After Xu Zang entered the grove, he found a place to sit down and waited quietly.
In the woods, quietly.
Only the chirping of insects, and the occasional chirping of birds.
Xu Zang waited for about a quarter of an hour and asked, "What time is it?" ”
The guard thought for a moment and said, "There are still two quarters of an hour before Haishi, and it is estimated that Huang Zhong is about to come." ”
Xu Zang nodded and waited quietly.
The moonlight overhead became colder and colder, and gradually, clusters of dark clouds converged, blocking the moonlight. The sky darkened, and the light in the forest was even fainter. The guards planned to light the torches, but they were stopped by Xu Zang, who said in a deep voice: "Don't light the torches for the time being, as long as we don't light the torches, we will hide in the woods and will not be easy to find." ”
At this time, Xu Zang was still able to wait calmly.
But the waiting time became longer and longer, and gradually, his heart began to be impetuous.
Xu Zang felt that half an hour had passed, and it had already passed.
"Could it be that Huang Zhong regretted it and kept counting appointments."
Xu Zang's heart was a little restless.
Once Huang Zhong regretted it, Xu Zang's plan could not be implemented, and it was difficult to bring down Wang Yan and Wang Yun. Even, the possibility that the Xu family wanted to go further was completely cut off.
Xu Zang is unwilling to lose this opportunity.
Xu Zang took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that something happened?" ”
The guard took over and said, "Master, I'll take a look outside the barracks and see what's going on." ”
Xu Zang pondered for a moment and said, "Yes."
The guard immediately took a step, and at that moment, the guard's ears moved, and he heard the sound of footsteps, which was clearly the sound of feet stepping on a branch.
The sound came from the direction of the camp.
The guard was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Family master, someone is here, it may be Huang Zhong." ”
When Xu Zang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
Not long after, a burly and tall figure appeared in the forest. Xu Zang smiled slightly and said lightly: "General Huang, you are late." Judging from the figure coming from a distance, the person who came must be Huang Zhong, so Xu Zang spoke directly. Although the words contained a sense of rebuke, they were filled with endless joy. Huang Zhong's arrival at the appointment means that the plan can be carried out, and the Xu family still has a chance to rise.
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Before leaving, I encountered a little unexpected thing and delayed for some time. ”
Xu Zang said: "Light the torch"
The guards lit the torches, only to hear them crackle and burn.
The red light of the fire dispelled the darkness.
Xu Zang and Huang Zhong sat down separately, and Xu Zang said straight to the point: "Since General Huang is here, I won't beat around the bush." I hope that General Huang will take advantage of Wang Yan's entry into the barracks to kill Wang Yan. Then, General Huang led the army to the Assassin's Mansion and killed Wang Yun. At that time, my Qingzhou family will operate with all its might, and General Huang will be pushed to the position of Qingzhou Thorn History. ”
The words are endlessly sharp.
This time, Xu Zang wants to kill Wang Yan's family and all the people in the Wang family.
Huang Zhong was silent for a moment, and said categorically: "I can't agree to your conditions. ”
"Why?" Xu Zang was suddenly anxious and immediately asked.
Huang Zhong explained: "First, I don't believe you. Once I kill Wang Yan and Wang Yun, but you turn your face and deny people, and even gather soldiers to kill me? I had a hard time coping. When I killed Wang Yan, I committed a rebellion, and I suffered a moral loss. If you turn your face, you can use it against me, and it will not work against me. ”
Xu Zang shook his head and said, "General Huang, we are sincerely cooperating, and such a thing will never happen." ”
Huang Zhong said: "People's hearts are unpredictable and difficult to measure. ”
Xu Zang patiently explained: "To tell the truth, the Qingzhou family wants their own people to serve as the assassin of Qingzhou, but no matter which one is in charge of Qingzhou, it will break the current balance, so no one wants to see someone from the Qingzhou family serve as the assassin." Therefore, General Huang is the only person who meets the requirements. Under such circumstances, how could the Qingzhou family regret it? General Huang, you are too careful. ”
Huang Zhong still shook his head and said stubbornly: "Second, Wang Yan's subordinates have Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Xuan, Hu Zhao and other civil servants, Wu Youdianwei, Zang Ba, Guan Hai and others, these people are outstanding talents, and they are all rare talents. I want to govern Qingzhou, and I must take them under my command. Once I kill Wang Yan, they will treat me as an enemy, and it will be impossible for them to serve me. ”
Xu Zang's brows furrowed, the request mentioned by Huang Zhong was difficult to complete. According to his plan, Huang Zhong wanted to kill Wang Yan, so it was impossible for Huang Zhong to recruit the people under Wang Yan's command.
Xu Zang sighed lightly: "General Huang, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, this matter is not easy. ”
Huang Zhong shook his head and continued: "The third and last reason. If I come to power as a rebel, I don't have a good image. I've set a precedent that my generals may follow, will they make me a target? Perhaps, they will also step on my corpse and become the object of support from the Qingzhou family. ”
Xu Zang shook his head and said, "General Huang, you think too much. ”
At this time, Xu Zang's heart was entangled. originally thought that Huang Zhong was a rough person, but now it seems that Huang Zhong is coarse and fine, and analyzes the stakes so clearly. In fact, if Huang Zhong was disobedient after killing Wang Yan, the clans of Qingzhou would definitely support someone else and replace Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong said categorically: "I can't agree to your conditions. ”
Xu Zang was embarrassed for a moment, spread out his hands, with a helpless expression, and said: "Since General Huang came to the appointment, he must have come with sincerity." General Huang disagrees with me, so what do you think? ”
At this moment, Xu Zang's words changed and he wanted to test Huang Zhong's thoughts again.
If the idea proposed by Huang Zhong is suitable, it can also be adopted.
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "My method is very simple, brewing an accident, and Wang Yan died in the accident. ”
Xu Zang asked, "How do you do it?" ”
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Let the Linzi County army controlled by the major families provoke, triggering a conflict between the soldiers under my command and the Linzi County army. When the time comes, arrange the military marquis of any city gate to lead the troops to attack, or in order to complete the battle, let the forces of the Sifang cities in Linzi County combine to attack the military camp. ”
After a pause, Huang Zhong said again: "After Wang Yan learns the news, he will definitely go into battle in person. Once the two sides fight, I can take the opportunity to let Wang Yanshen die in the conflict unconsciously. In this way, I can take advantage of the situation, and then overthrow Wang Yun. This is my proposal, if you don't want to, then when I haven't said it, if you agree, we'll discuss it. ”
After listening to this, Xu Zang couldn't help but praise: "General Huang is worthy of being the person who commands the troops, this move is really powerful." can not only take advantage of the chaos to kill Wang Yan, but also logically ascend to the throne. Not only did it get benefits, but it also occupied the righteousness, which was really a good strategy. ”
Huang Zhong said: "I won't be in danger, the strategy has already told you, now, you go back and deliver the message." I'm going to hear from you by tomorrow night at the latest. If there is no news, then this agreement will expire and be invalid, and I will not cooperate with you again. ”
"Okay, please wait for good news from General Huang."
The plan changed too much, and Xu Zang didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only go back and ask Qi Tan and the others.
Huang Zhong looked at Xu Zang's departing back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, such a fool still wants to fight with the lord, it is simply beyond his strength.
