Chapter 264: Three Birds with One Stone
Zhou Kui returned home, hurriedly wrote a secret letter on fine silk, and then called his confidants and instructed: "Quickly hand over this letter to the city, and order his thoughts to be transmitted to the Yuan army camp." ”
The clansman took the letter with both hands, and then promised: "Don't worry, the head of the family, I will go back when I go." ”
The Zhou family is a wealthy family under Pi, operating for several generations, and the hidden energy cannot be underestimated.
Late at night, on the city of Xiapi, a guard saw the Yuan army outside the city patrolling the city, quietly took out his bow and arrows and shot it, impartially, in the arm of a Yuan army soldier.
The soldier hurriedly looked down and saw that it was a headless arrow, and the arrow seemed to be tied with a silk cloth, and the ink could be seen through the torch.
The soldiers did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly handed over to the main general Liang Gang.
Tonight is Liang Gang's night patrol, he took the arrow and looked at it carefully, his face was suspicious, and then he ordered the soldiers to continue patrolling, and he quickly ran towards Yuan Shu's tent with the arrow.
At this time, Yuan Shu was discussing with Yang Hong, and suddenly saw Liang Gang hurriedly entering, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Liang Gang replied: "Lord Qiqi, just now the last general led the troops to patrol the night, and suddenly shot a headless arrow from the city, and the arrow body was tied with a fine silk.
The last general will not dare to be arbitrary, and he will bring the arrows to the lord to decide! ”
After Liang Gang finished speaking, he held the arrow with both hands and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu also had doubts in his heart after hearing this, and took the arrow, and saw that there was no arrow, so he took off the silk silk tied on it and shook it away, and suddenly said with joy after a while: "Xiapi belongs to me!" ”
Yang Hong and Liang Gang were both puzzled, and quietly looked at Yuan Shu, waiting for the following.
Yuan Shu read the secret letter again, and then said with a smile: "This is a book written by Zhou Kui in Xiapi, Lu Bu blackmailed in the city, asking for money and food, the Zhou family couldn't bear it, and wanted to find an appropriate time to lead the people to set fire to the city, so as to make internal responses and help our army break the city." ”
Yang Hong was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Can the lord take a look at it by letter?" ”
Yuan Shu casually handed the letter to Yang Hong, Yang Hong took it and looked at it carefully, saw that the content of the letter was the same as what Yuan Shu said, and carefully scrutinized it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he said with a happy face: "Lu Bu has no virtue, forced to rebel against the wealthy family, and he should be defeated."
I have heard of Zhou Kui, who briefly appeared in Xuzhou in his early years, and was deeply relied on by Tao Qian, and then resigned for some reason.
The Zhou family is a big family in the Xiapi family, the family is very huge, and it is called the head of the Xiapi family. ”
Yuan Shu was even happier after hearing this, and said to Yang Hong: "In this case, I will respond according to the words in the letter, and then act according to the agreement in the letter!" ”
Yang Hong replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, Hong will go down and make arrangements!" ”
After Yang Hong finished speaking, he returned the letter to Yuan Shu, and then turned around and left with Liang Gang.
In Xiapi City, Lu Bu was happy because he had Zhou Kui as a strategist, and ordered the soldiers to take wine and food and drink freely.
was drunk up, suddenly heard the thunder of drums outside the city, thought that Yuan Jun was attacking the city at night, dropped the wine bottle and cursed, and then under the service of his own soldiers, he dressed neatly, took Fang Tian's halberd and strode towards the city.
And in the Zhou family's mansion in the city, Zhou Kui heard the sound of drums outside the city, and knew that Yuan Shu had seen the secret letter, smiled slightly, got up and walked towards the city wall without hurrying.
In a dense forest outside Xiapi City, a scout also heard the sound of drums from Yuan's camp, his face was happy, and he quickly got on his horse and ran in the direction of Tancheng.
When Lu Bu arrived at the city wall, he saw that Zhang Liao and others had already arrived, and asked, "What is the situation outside the city, but the Yuan army is attacking the city?" ”
Zhang Liao looked at the darkness outside the city, shook his head and replied: "I don't know for the time being, except for the drum just now, the Yuan army camp is silent. ”
Lu Bu leaned on the city wall with both hands, and then leaned over to look at Yuan's army camp, and saw that as Zhang Liao said, there was calm outside the city, and there was no abnormality.
At this time, Zhou Kui also climbed the city tower, and when he saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly asked, "I heard the sound of war drums just now, I don't know what happened?" ”
Lu Buzheng was puzzled, and when he saw Zhou Kui coming, he said: "Bo Yu just came, just now the drums came from the Yuan army camp, but there was no movement at this time, I don't know what it means?" ”
Zhou Kui pretended to look outside the city, and then said: "The Yuan army is deceitful, don't be careless, Wen Hou can send an order to the soldiers to cheer up, in case the Yuan army sneaks up." ”
Lu Bu nodded in agreement: "Boyu's words are exactly what I want!" ”
After that, he instructed Zhang Liao, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng: "The three of you will take turns guarding the city tonight, don't be careless!" ”
Zhang Liao and the others did not dare to disobey and promised loudly.
There was nothing to say all night, and there was nothing to do.
Because of drinking, Lu Bu slept very sweetly at night, and vaguely dreamed that under Zhou Kui's advice, he successfully repelled Yuan Shu, and waved his army to defeat Lu Yi, and at the same time occupied the land of Qingxu and Xu, which was very proud.
"Alas......!"
Lu Bu woke up and recalled last night's dream, and sighed: "When will the things in the dream come true?" ”
After breakfast, Lu Bu summoned Zhou Kui to come to discuss, wanting him to persuade the big clans in the city to defend the city together.
I only heard Lu Bu say: "Now I have sent people to ask for help from Liyi, but I have been fighting for days, and the soldiers in the city have suffered a lot of losses, and there are not a few people who are injured and participate in the battle."
Now Yuan Shu is attacking the city very urgently, lest there be a crisis due to insufficient troops, I want Bo Yu to convene the big clans in the city to discuss together, those who have people will pay people, and those who have no one will pay money and food, everyone will work together to protect Pi is safe, I don't know what Bo Yu wants? ”
Zhou Kui was overjoyed in his heart after hearing this, Lu Bu's proposal was in the right place, and he said quietly on his face: "Now that it is not the time of life and death, other families in the city are probably reluctant to participate in the defense of the city, but since Wen Hou has proposed this matter, I have done my best on behalf of the Zhou family.
As for the other families, Kui personally visited the door, talked in detail, and tried to persuade a few families to agree! ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard that Zhou Kui wanted to send out a thousand people, although these people were not as good as regular soldiers, but it was still possible to carry some rolling wood and thunder stones, arrows and weapons, and maintain order in the city.
In this way, the other soldiers can be freed to defend the city, and now is the critical period, and the more 1,000 people to defend the city, the longer the time can be held.
Lu Bu wanted to stop praising and said: "Bo Yu is really a righteous person!" ”
Zhou Kui hurriedly said modestly: "A little thing, not enough to worry about, Wen Hou risked the arrow stone for the next Pi, and Kui is a person from the next Pi, how can you ignore it?" ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed after hearing this, and asked Zhou Kui: "Yesterday, Bo Yu said that there was a plan to drag Yuan Shu and make it impossible to attack the city for the time being, I don't know what kind of trick it is?" ”
Zhou Kui said with a smile: "This is a suspicious tactic, and it is the same as what happened to Yuan Shu's war drums last night." ”
Zhou Kui said that he carefully stated what he wanted in his heart, and finally said: "This plan was originally seven points false and three points true, and then changed to five or five points, and the last three points were false and seven points true."
Yuan Shu will be unbearable, and at least retreat the camp ten miles. ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up and said: "Boyu's plan is true or false, don't say that there is no plan, even the gods and ghosts are unpredictable!" ”
Zhou Kui smiled and said: "But it's hard work for Wen Hou and the generals!" ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "As long as you can keep Xiapi, what's the harm in working harder?" ”
"Hahahaha......!"
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he laughed happily at the same time as Zhou Kui!
