Chapter Forty-Eight: Murder by a Knife
Seeing that Wang Xu was put on a table by Zhou Zhi, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh "poof", and immediately helped to solve the siege: "Okay, Chen Shou and Sima Guang haven't been born yet?" What are you doing with all this? Let's talk about the present! β
But Wang Xu was in a very bad mood now, and immediately looked at Zhou Zhi, who was a little colorful, and asked with interest: "You said that the two of us have come together now, should you be the boss, or should I be the boss?" β
Zhou Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wang Xu's smiling expression, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Without saying a word, he immediately smiled with a face: "Of course it's Brother Xu!" How dare I compete with the wise, handsome, and dashing Brother Xu? You first have a life-saving grace for me, and then you have the feeling of taking in, I have already been moved to the ground, where will there be a different heart. In fact, Zhou Zhi had already sworn in his heart that in this life and this life, he would definitely saddle the horse and follow him to the death, without two hearts, and he would do his best to die and ......."
"Stop!" Seeing that Zhou Zhi burst into flames as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Xu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop.
Seeing Zhou Zhi licking his lips, he looked unsatisfied. Wang Xu glared at him, and then said with remorse: "Why didn't you find out that you were so virtuous?" If I had known about your mouth, I swear I'd let you fend for yourself in that little mountain village! β
"Boss, that's not right, the younger brother is so smart, lively and cute, innocent and kind, well-behaved......"
"Do you want to say one more word, believe it or not, I'll let you put on your armor and go to the Yellow Turban Camp tomorrow?"
Seeing Wang Xu's fists clenched, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed. Zhou Zhi's mouth opened, he swallowed the sound he was about to make, and retreated to the side in a sneering manner.
"You two just don't make a fuss, okay?" Xu Shu glanced at the two of them with a wry smile, and sighed helplessly: "Husband, there are still so many things that have not been solved now, why are you still as knowledgeable as Zhou Zhi, he is a person, the more he talks, the more energetic!" β
"How can you blame me, Zhou Zhi, this kid looks like I'm begging to be beaten, I'm just ......" said, but suddenly saw Xu Shu's little fist also clenched gently, and immediately turned pale.
"Ahem! Cough! Well...... This Tang Zhou thing is indeed a bit strange! β
Seeing that Xu Shu's attention was really attracted, Wang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he knew that Xu Shu was violent, and the consequences were so strict.
He stopped making a fuss, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "What do you say? Have you ever thought about it, the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion was advanced in history was because Tang Zhou went to inform. And since that young son of Zhang Jiao has successfully changed history and made the Yellow Turban Uprising break out perfectly, why did he put the time bomb of Tang Zhou here? He wasn't afraid that Tang Zhou would rebel again as in history, let Bocai be defeated, and then there would be no fire to burn the Changshe, and everything would go to the unknown? β
With such a reminder, Xu Shu suddenly said: "That's right! Then there must be a special reason why he let Tang Zhou come here. And the most reasonable explanation should be that he wants to borrow a knife to kill people! After all, Tang Zhou didn't make a mistake, and it was impossible for Zhang Jiao to hear him say that he might rebel and kill his own disciple! β
"Hmmm! Exactly. And now that Tang Zhou is dead, it means that Bocai, as the coach, must have been instructed by the mysterious young son. And what do you think is the best way to stand in the shoes of Bocai? β
Xu Shu immediately frowned when she heard this, and after thinking for a long time, she hesitated and said: "Let him be the vanguard, and he is an opponent who will never win the challenge!" β
"Hmmm! There is such a possibility, but it is not in line with the current situation. β
Slowly shaking his head, Wang Xucai turned to say: "If I were Bocai, the first way would be to find an impossible task for him, and if he fails, he will be dealt with by military law!" But this method will leave a handle, and it will be difficult to open the corner! β
"And the second one, that's what you just said, let him fight the vanguard and die! But in this case, you will never let him lead the army alone, do you know that he is dead, and then let your soldiers go to the burial in vain, weakening your own strength? β
But when Xu Shu heard this, she immediately interrupted unconvinced: "But you can also let him bring a few people over!" In the case of small casualties, it is still acceptable! β
Hearing Xu Shu's naΓ―ve remarks, Wang Xu immediately asked: "If you are asked to bring a few soldiers to fight an enemy that is impossible to defeat, this kind of obviously problematic order, will you go?" Even if it is a forcible order, isn't it the same as the first method, how can Bo Cai give Zhang Jiao an account afterwards? β
Seeing that Xu Shu was speechless, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, and said earnestly: "Wife, when you think about any problem, you should first put yourself in the other party's position and look at it." That way it's not easy to travel cuΓ²! β
As he spoke, he patted Xu Shu's smooth face, and saw that she nodded obediently, so he calmly continued: "So, Bocai will definitely use the third method." β
"How?" Xu Shu immediately asked curiously.
But neither of the two people in the conversation noticed that Zhou Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, heard this, but his eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with an extraordinary light.
"It's very simple, take the person you want to kill as part of the plan, and then discard it as an outcast. In this way, you can not only win the war, but also be able to communicate with Zhang Jiao and that mysterious young boy very well! Why not? β
"Yes! It's a great way to get the best of both worlds. β
Saying that, Xu Shu couldn't help but look at Wang Xu excitedly: "Then do you see the other party's intentions?" β
"Now that you know so much, what else can't you see? There are not many schemes that may be used to abandon the son, one is to break the queen, the other is to disguise and lure the enemy, and the last is to deceive and lure the enemy! What do you think of the current situation? β
"Of course it's a swindle!"
Xu Shu is already smart, but she is not very familiar with military tactics, and at this moment, after Wang Xu's reminder, of course she understands.
But Xu Shu rolled her eyes and asked puzzledly: "But there is a problem with this!" There are more defeated generals in history, and Tang Zhou may not die if he goes! β
"Fool, if you don't die once, can't you let him go a few more times? Anyway, if you want to lose, wouldn't it be better to let Tang Zhou defeat completely? Of course, there are many generals in history who have been unharmed by countless frauds, but you have to figure out which of those generals who were sent to defeat was not a person with outstanding martial arts or outstanding resourcefulness? β
"Do you think Tang Zhou's goods can resist a generation of famous generals like Zhu Jun again and again? Bo is the general who defeated Zhu Jun in history, and he is more or less talented, how can he not even know this basic common sense? It was precisely because he knew that he let Tang Zhou go, not only to realize his plan, but also to kill people with a knife perfectly. β
As he spoke, Wang Xu looked at Xu Shu, who was enlightened, and continued: "So wait a minute!" Next, Zhu Jun's side will inevitably continue to report successes! β
As soon as the words fell, Wang Fei's heavy footsteps had already come in, and Wang Xu immediately closed his mouth and said no more!
"Third brother, I have asked the situation of the entire military camp and the shape of the current war in general, and I have all recorded it in this bamboo slip!" As he spoke, Wang Fei walked straight in front of Wang Xu and handed over the bamboo slip he was holding in his hand.
After reaching out to take it, Wang Xu was not in a hurry to look. Instead, he smiled: "Second brother, I've been running around all this time, and everyone is tired, I think we should rest early today!" β
"Hmmm! Good. β
Nodding with a smile, Wang Fei turned around and was about to walk out, but then found that Zhou Zhi was still sitting motionless. Immediately said: "Zhou Zhi, let's go!" What are you still doing here? β
"Huh? Isn't this the tent that Huangfu Song arranged for the four of us? Where to go? β
Hearing this, Wang Fei immediately said angrily: "Don't you know that Xu Shu is a girl? My third brother is fine, do you still want to squeeze one here? Are you in your head again? β
Zhou Zhi reacted at this time, and immediately stood up and ran to Wang Fei's side. Awkwardly looked at Wang Xu, who was staring at him with a smile, "Hehe! After laughing dryly, he hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother Fei! So where do we sleep now? β
"There are so many empty seats in the tent next door! Let's go! β
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi immediately cried with a sad face: "No! I'm going to squeeze with the soldiers! β
"What? Any comments? β
Seeing that Wang Fei's hand was faintly held on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Zhou Zhi immediately stood upright, nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Fei, junior brother has no opinion!" β
After seeing the two of them leaving, Wang Xucai pulled down the curtain of the tent and smiled at Xu Shu: "Actually, although Zhou Zhi is giggling, his nature is not bad!" And people are also smarter, but unfortunately I don't know why my head is a little stuck! Otherwise, it is also a good choice to cultivate into a handsome talent, after all, he has experience in the afterlife!"
But when Xu Shu heard this, she glanced at Wang Xu and said angrily: "You were different just now?" As crazy as he is! β
"How can I be the same? I'm just going crazy with him, otherwise it's a bit uncomfortable to play the ancients all day long! It's still good in the future, and the words are not so literate! β
"Hehe......"
Wang Xu and Xu Shu chatted for a long time, and when they were about to take off their armor and rest, the door curtain was suddenly opened!
Then Wang Fei walked in with an iron face, and just when Wang Xu and Xu Shu were puzzled, Zhou Zhi was like catching a chicken by a sturdy young man, holding a collar in one hand......
