Zhou Kui returned home, summoned his confidants to give him detailed instructions, and ordered him to lead the family members and guards who had already been prepared to go to Lu Bu to listen to his orders.

Seeing Zhou Kui so cooperative, Lu Bu was very satisfied, and said to Cao Bao: "Zhou Kui is outstanding in faith, but Tao Qian doesn't know how to use it, and the real pearl is secretly invested!" ”

Cao Bao was also very satisfied with Zhou Kui, and when he heard Lu Bu's praise, he replied: "Today, Wen Hou has the allegiance of the Zhou family, which is really like a tiger's wings!"

When Yuan Shu is repelled and then plans for Xuzhou, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Lu Bu thought of last night's dream again, thought of Zhou Kui's incident today, and laughed happily: "If I occupy Xuzhou, I will make the Cao family the largest family in Xuzhou." ”

Cao Bao dreamed of making the family brilliant, and when he heard Lu Bu's promise, he smiled and said, "My Cao family will take Wen Hou as the leader!" ”

……

Seeing that it was getting afternoon, Lu Bu had not sent anyone to reply, Yuan Shu was angry in his heart, and led dozens of horsemen to the city, asking Lu Bu to go out of the city by name to answer.

Lu Buqing knew that Yuan Shu was coming for yesterday's surrender, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Zhou Kui, and then asked: "Yuan Shu must come for the surrender, I don't know how I should respond?" ”

Zhou Kui thought for a moment, and then said: "Yuan Shu must come here to listen to Wen Hou's intentions, unless he expresses his willingness to surrender, Yuan Shu will not give up."

Even so, Wen Hou does not need to be false and wrong, just refuse it face to face. ”

Now Lu Bu trusts Zhou Kui very much, and he can be said to be obedient, nodded and said: "I feel the same way, so I will go out of the city and answer correctly." ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took Fang Tian's halberd and then strode out.

Outside the city, Yuan Shu was waiting impatiently, and suddenly saw the gate of Xiapi City opened, and Lu Bu led Song Xianhou Cheng and more than ten horsemen to ride out.

Yuan Shu looked up at the top of the city wall, saw a scribe standing between Cao Bao and Zhang Liao, and whispered to Yang Hong beside him: "Can the scribe in the city know it?" ”

Yang Hong shook his head and replied: "This person did not appear before, judging by his expression, it is expected to be Zhou Kui." ”

Yuan Shu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "In this way, just act according to the plan." ”

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu, who was about a hundred steps away from him, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Wen Hou thinks?" ”

Lu Bu laughed loudly when he heard the question, and pointed at Yuan Shu with a halberd: "You are a person who has won a false name, what ability do you want me to surrender, if you know how to lift, quickly lead the troops back to Shouchun, otherwise I know Ru Yuan Highway, but I don't know the halberd in my hand!" ”

After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

When was Yuan Shu so despised, he gritted his steel teeth with hatred, and pointed at Lu Bu with a horse whip: "Lu Bu Pifu, I swear to take your head!" ”

After speaking, he was worried that Lu Bu would be violent and killed, so he quickly turned his horse's head and galloped back to the camp.

Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu, who had fled in the wilderness, sneered, glanced at it with contempt, and then returned to the city as well.

Lu Bu knew that with Yuan Shu's character of retribution, he had just been so humiliated by himself, and he would not give up, and he would definitely order the army to attack the city, so he also did not dare to delay.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Bu ascended the city tower, he heard a low horn sound from outside the city.

Yuan Shu returned to the camp and immediately ordered Sun Ce to lead the troops to attack the city, and Liang Gangle led troops to raid the battle for Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to lead the troops away at this time.

In the city, Yang Hong looked at the Yuan army that was killing like a tide, and said to Lu Bu: "As long as you repel the attack of the Yuan army, you can act according to the plan at night." ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly after hearing this, and said disdainfully: "Bo Yu rest assured, if Yuan Shu wants to break through my guarded city, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!" ”

After saying that, he immediately commanded the soldiers to plunge into the defense of the city.

Zhou Kui was a scribe, and he was not good at fighting, which would inevitably affect the defense of the city, so he retreated to the rear and commanded the soldiers to carry the equipment to defend the city.

Zhou Kui looked at the situation in the city while commanding, and saw that Lu Bu was not too concerned about defending the city, and was mainly commanded by Zhang Liao.

And Zhang Liao is not only very brave himself, but also very good at dispatching and commanding and boosting morale.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Kui frowned slightly, and secretly thought in his heart: "You need to transfer Zhang Liao out of the city." ”

Yuan Jun attacked fiercely for a while, and Yuan Shu smiled slightly and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and make plans tomorrow.

The soldiers in the city looked at the slowly retreating Yuan Jun and burst into excited cheers again.

Zhou Kui walked up to Lu Bu and said with a flattering smile: "I have always heard that Wen Hou is brave, but I have no chance to see it, and today I know that there is no vain soldier under the fame, and Wen Hou is really a god and a powerful general!" ”

"Hahahaha......!"

Lu Bu was very useful for Zhou Kui's flattery, and laughed: "If it weren't for the limited number of soldiers in the city, a certain family would have led troops straight to Yuan Shu's camp earlier, and they would have broken it!" ”

said that Song Xianhou would be ordered to defend the city, and he and Zhou Kui and others went downstairs to rest, and prepared for tonight's events with good spirits.

Outside the city, Yuan Shu also gathered the generals to discuss the matter and ordered: "According to the agreement, Lu Bu must take action tonight, and you should be careful not to be attacked by Lu Bu." ”

Regarding Zhou Kui's internal response, because he was worried that the news would be leaked due to the fact that there were many people, Yuan Shu only told a few henchmen and generals to know.

After hearing the order, the generals went away and returned to their camps to prepare.

Yuan Shu ordered someone to find Ji Ling, and then said: "You were defeated last time, frustrating the spirit of the army, I wanted to never use it again, remember your past achievements, this time give you another chance, if there is any mistake again, it will be done by military law, and there is no room for personal feelings!" ”

After hearing this, Ji Ling hurriedly leaned over and bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "Thank you lord, the spirit will not live up to the lord's trust, otherwise he will be willing to be punished!" ”

Although Yuan Shu had not yet said what Ji Ling had done, Ji Ling had already directly stated his attitude.

Ji Ling has followed Yuan Shu for many years, and he knows Yuan Shu's temper very well, and knows that if he doesn't agree happily, he will never use it again, as he just said.

Although Yuan Shu is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, his personality and temper are not at all like the predecessors of the Yuan family, and he is extremely jealous and resentful.

Yuan Shu was very satisfied with Ji Ling's attitude, and ordered: "You led 5,000 troops to ambush in the dense forest outside the city overnight, and no matter what happened during this period, you must not go to war.

After three days, I saw the fire in the city of Xiapi and the city gate opened, and led the troops to seize the city gate as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Shu didn't tell Ji Ling about Zhou Kui, so Ji Ling didn't know, and although he was puzzled when he heard Yuan Shu's order, he didn't dare to ask more, so he took the order and left.

Yuan Shu waited for Ji Ling to leave, and snorted coldly: "Lu Bu Pifu, look at my Ruru head in three days!" ”

……

Night, about three watches.

Because of the lack of siege in the afternoon, the camp of Yuan's army was already silent, and there was no sound at all, as if the soldiers were all asleep.

Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao and Song Xian to lead thousands of people each, carrying gongs and light drums on their bodies, and quietly hung out of the city to ambush.

Lu Bu led 3,000 men and horses to ambush at the city gate, and when the time was ripe, he was ready to lead troops to kill.

Because Yuan Shu knew that Lu Bu was moving tonight, he didn't go to sleep, and sat quietly in the tent with Yang Hong and waited.

Tonight's action is actually only to cooperate with Zhou Kui, and there is not too much danger, but after all, I don't know if Zhou Kui is cheating, for the sake of caution, Yuan Shu still made sufficient preparations.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and just as Yuan Shu was waiting impatiently, he suddenly heard gongs and drums outside the camp, shouting to kill and shake the sky.

Yuan Shu and Yang Hong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Come on!" ”
