Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 267 Handprints
Wei Xu sighed, "Tell me, how does Marquis Wen treat me?"

Hou Cheng suddenly sneered, "General Wei, why do you ask questions knowingly? If I treat you well, why should I beat you with a military stick?"

Song Xian nodded, "General Hou is right, if he really treats you as a brother, he won't beat you with a military stick."

Wei Xu recalled the experience of beating the army stick that day, only felt his face burst into fever, and gritted his teeth and said, "Since he no longer regards me as a brother, there is no need for me to treat him as a brother."

Speaking of this, Wei Xu suddenly roared, "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hou Cheng was overjoyed when he heard these words, grabbed Wei Xu's hand, and said with a big smile, "General Wei, it's great to agree. From now on, our brothers will be of the same mind, and our benefits will cut through gold."

Song Xian on the side was also watching with enthusiasm, stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two, and said with a smile, "General Hou is right, you and my brother are of the same mind, and its benefits can cut through gold!"

Wei Xu turned his head and looked at Hou Cheng, and asked tentatively, "General Hou, now that you have decided, what do you want to do?"

Hou Cheng shook his head, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and said slowly.

"Two generals, it's not that I don't trust you. This is a very serious matter. Nothing will happen to you. Therefore, after writing this, the three of us will press our fingerprints at the same time. No one can go back on their word."

When Wei Xu and Song Xian heard this sentence, they hurriedly looked down and saw the white paper on the table, which was exactly what Hou Cheng said just now.

Song Xian's face changed, "General Hou, is there something wrong?"

Hou Cheng frowned, "General Song, what's wrong?"

Song Xian pointed to the paper on the table and said in a low voice, "General Hou, if this paper is discovered by others and passed into the hands of Marquis Wen, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hou Cheng shook his head, "General Song, I will keep this piece of paper carefully and it will never be discovered by anyone. Just don't worry."

Wei Xu frowned, "General Hou, as long as you and I say goodbye, is it necessary to make it so troublesome? If something happens, it will be bad!"

Hearing this, Hou Cheng turned his head to look at Wei Xu, and suddenly sneered, "General Wei, if one of the three of us repents and tells us about us, the consequences will be even worse."

Wei Xu's expression changed, "You mean someone will tell this matter?"

Hou Cheng shook his head, "General Wei, this piece of paper is just to prevent everyone from going back on their word. Nothing will happen. And with this piece of paper, don't you feel safer?"

Wei Xu frowned and looked at the paper on the table. After a long time, he nodded, "Okay, I agree!"

Hou Cheng turned his head to look at Song Xian, "General Song, how about you?"

Song Xian sighed, "You two agreed, how could I not agree?"

Hearing what the two said, Hou Cheng was overjoyed, spread the paper on the table flat, cut a small cut in his hand, and then pressed it down hard.

Wei Xu and Song Xian also followed Hou Cheng's example and pressed their fingerprints on the paper.

Wei Xu watched Hou Cheng carefully fold the paper and put it away, frowned and asked, "General Hou, what do you want to do next?"

Song Xian hurriedly said, "Since we have decided, why not climb over the city wall now and go directly to join the Jizhou Army? What do you think?"

Hou Cheng didn't speak, but turned to look at Wei Xu, and asked slowly, "General Wei, what do you mean?"

Wei Xu frowned, "If we just climb over the wall and seek refuge, will they agree? What if they don't agree?"

Hou Cheng sneered, "If we don't agree, of course thousands of arrows will be fired and we will be turned into hedgehogs."

Hearing this, Song Xian was startled, "General Hou, how is this possible?"

Hou Cheng turned to look at Song Xian and asked with a sneer, "General Song, tell me why it's impossible?"

Song Xian hurriedly raised his hand, "We are going to join them, how can they shoot arrows indiscriminately?"

Hou Cheng frowned, "General Song, you said you were going to seek refuge with them, but you have no proof. How could they believe you?"

This time, without waiting for Song Xian to speak, Wei Xu nodded at the side, "General Hou is right, there is no evidence and no evidence, they really won't believe us, even if they shoot arrows, it is very possible."

Song Xian was stunned and said with a wry smile, "But what evidence can we have?"

Hou Cheng patted Song Xian on the shoulder, "General Song, if you want to find evidence, there are many ways, it depends on which one you choose?"

Song Xian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "General Hou, which method do you choose?"

Hou Cheng sneered and said slowly, "The easiest way is to open the city gate and let the Jizhou army in. They will naturally believe it, right?"

"Open the city gate?"

Song Xian was taken aback, "General Hou, if the cost is raised, wouldn't the Jizhou army come in?"

Hou Cheng nodded, "Yes, as long as the Jizhou army comes in, they will naturally believe our words."

"Open the city gate?"

Song Xian repeated these words, cold sweat gradually oozing from his forehead, and even his hands were trembling slightly.

He could convince himself to join the enemy, but it was really difficult to open the city gate.

If the city gate is really opened, those old brothers in the city will probably all be buried in this city because of opening the city gate by themselves.

"General Hou, there are so many of us brothers in the city, isn't it inappropriate to do this?"

"Old brother?"

Hearing this, Hou Cheng sneered, "General Song, you are so funny, did you forget the way they looked at you when you hit the military stick?
At that time, did they regard you as a good brother? I think they were just watching you make a fool of yourself. It's funny that you still think about them as good brothers now. "

Song Xian recalled the scene that day, and his face couldn't help changing, "General Hou, don't say any more."

Hou Cheng patted Song Xian on the shoulder, and said coldly, "General Song, don't think about your ridiculous old brothers now, but think about how we can escape!"

At this point, Hou Cheng paused, and then said, "Even if we seek refuge in the past, but without credit, I'm afraid we won't have much official position.

But if we can open the city gate, we will have made a great contribution. When we go there, we will definitely be rewarded based on our merit.

When the time comes, our official positions there may be higher than those here. Wouldn't that be great! "

Wei Xu's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "We really should make some contributions, otherwise, we won't be able to reap any benefits even in the past. Should we start from small soldiers?"
