Three Kingdoms King of the North

When Wu Xi saw the person Guo Si sent to recruit him, he couldn't help but panicked, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Please go back and tell the general, and you can go to see the general after you clean up a little bit." .”

As soon as the messenger left, Wu Xi called Feng Er, and asked in a panic: "Feng Er, you said that the general invited me to meet at this moment, could it be that our private contact with Jizhou leaked the news? "

"General, please don't worry." Feng Er comforted Wu Xi and said, "This matter is kept very confidential. Except for the general and me, no one knows our private agreement with Jizhou. As for the secret sentries monitoring the mansion, they were all removed last night. It fell, leaving no flaws."

Although Feng Eryi assured Wu Xi again and again that nothing would go wrong, Wu Xi was still uneasy when he saw Li Jue and Guo Si.After he knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them, he said: "The last general greets Da Sima and the great general! I wonder if the two generals are here, what's the matter?"

"Wu Xi, you have such a guts that you dare to collude with the Jizhou Army." Li Jue slapped the table hard, and then said in a stern tone: "Hurry up and get real!"

"I'm wronged, Da Sima!" Wu Xi knew very well that once he admitted this matter, not only would he be dragged out and beheaded immediately, but even his relatives and friends in Xiliang would be killed by Li Jue and others He was clean, so he pretended to be pitiful and said: "The last general has always been loyal to the general and you, how could he secretly collude with the Jizhou army? It must be that someone deliberately framed the late general, please Da Sima Ming check."

Seeing that Hu Zhen had turned to Li Jue again, Guo Si felt resentful towards him, so he preconceived that the so-called collusion between Wu Xi and the Jizhou Army was all caused by Hu Zhen.Therefore, he said to Wu Xi who was kneeling on the ground: "Wu Xi, don't be afraid, as long as you don't collude with the Jizhou army, this general will make decisions for you."

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" After Wu Xi kowtowed to Guo Bang twice, "The General should be very clear that the last general has always been loyal to you, so how could he collude with the Jizhou Army? The last general must have been careless." Offend the villain, the other party will frame the last general."

"Then tell me," Li Jue waited for Wu Xi to finish speaking, and asked with great interest, "Who did you offend that you actually let him be so cruel?"

Although Wu Xi had already guessed that it was Hu Zhen, he deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "The final general doesn't know." After a pause, he asked back: "Dare to ask Da Sima, I don't know who reported that the final general colluded with the Jizhou army in private. .”

Li Jue didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Hu Zhen who was standing aside.Seeing that all the eyes in the hall were on him, Hu Zhen took a step forward and said loudly, "Wu Xi, it was someone who reported you."

Wu Xi turned his head to look at Hu Zhen, sneered, and then asked: "Hu Cai, since you said that this general colluded with the Jizhou army, do you have any real evidence?"

"Someone's subordinates saw you and your confidants on the tower, pointing at the soldiers and horses of Jizhou who besieged the city." Although Hu Zhen didn't have any real evidence, but up to now, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he could only bite the bullet Said: "It is clear that I want to dedicate the city to the Jizhou army."

"Ridiculous," as soon as Hu Zhen finished speaking, Wu Xi immediately retorted: "Yesterday, a certain person was indeed on the city wall, watching the Jizhou army besieging the city with one of his subordinates. But we are discussing how to defeat the enemy, not collusion Jizhou Army."

After listening to Wu Xi's self-defense, Li Jue asked with some doubts: "Wu Xi, I asked you, since you are discussing how to defeat the enemy, why did you say that you were trying to collude with the Jizhou Army? Did you Have a grudge?"

"Back to Da Sima," Wu Xi said viciously, looking at Hu Zhen, "Although there was no grievance in the past, recently there has been unintentional hatred."

Wu Xi's words confused Li Jue, and he asked in puzzlement, "Wu Xi, what do you mean by that?"

"Zhiran, I know what's going on." Hearing this, Guo Si immediately understood Wu Xi's implication, and quickly helped him out: "The general asked Wu Xi to be in charge of the defense of the south gate, and assigned it to Hu Cai. military power, which made him resent Wu Xi. Am I right, Hu Cai?!" When he said the latter, he deliberately emphasized his tone.After Guo Bang said this, Li Jue immediately understood that it was because Wu Xi took over the military power in the south of the city, which made Hu Zhen resent him, so he did not hesitate to frame him.

Guo Si pointed at Hu Zhen with his hand, and said, "A bold bastard should frame Wu Xi, what should you do?"

Hu Zhen was so frightened by Guo Si's words that he knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Li Jue and said, "The general knows his mistake, please have a lot, Lord Sima, please spare the life of the general!"

Although Li Jue was also very angry with Hu Zhen's actions, but now it was a time of employment, and finally someone came to him, but after two days, he cut him with a knife, and there will be others in the future. Come and join yourself?Out of this consideration, Li Jue decided to defend Hu Zhen and help him resolve the immediate crisis.So he smiled and said to Guo Bang: "Aduo, Hu Cai was also confused for a while, so he did such a stupid thing. Look, is this a big thing and a small thing, how about just exposing it?"

Guo Si saw Li Jue's intention to defend Hu Zhen, and even if he insisted, he might not be able to kill Hu Zhen, so it would be better to be a favor and get along with Li Jue in the future.So he turned his attention to Wu Xi and asked, "Wu Xi, this matter is related to you. Tell me, how should you deal with Hu Zhen?"

After listening to Wu Xi's self-defense, Li Jue asked with some doubts: "Wu Xi, I asked you, since you are discussing how to defeat the enemy, why did you say that you were trying to collude with the Jizhou Army? Did you Have a grudge?"

Chapter 309

After Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's soldiers and horses besieged the city, they thought that Wu Xi would send Feng Er to contact him that night.But after waiting all night, there was no movement.

After dawn, Zhao Yun, who had been sleeping all night, resisted the constant drowsiness, and asked Guo Jia, who was dozing off next to him: "Mr. Feng Xiao, tell me why Wu Xi didn't send anyone over last night. Did they Have you changed your mind?"

Guo Jia said weakly: "Jia is worried that the people sent by Wu Xi went to the wrong place last night and went to Zhao Chong's camp. You know, we have surrounded Meiwu tightly, and the city is heavily guarded. Even if Wu Xi sends someone out, he will probably have to make a detour."

"It would be terrible if the people sent by Wu Xi really entered Zhao Chong's camp." Zhao Yun broke out in a cold sweat when he heard what he probably said. He stood up and walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. He said a little excitedly: "A certain subordinate who was worried about Wu Xi thought he had found the place just when he saw a big flag with the characters of Zhao hanging at the gate of the camp. If the messenger really fell into Zhao Chong's hands, things would be troublesome."

"General Zilong, this is the end of the matter, and it is useless to regret it." Guo Jia sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and continued: "I hope that Feng Er and the others are fettered by something in the city, so that Didn't go out of town last night."

At this moment, a small school came in from outside the tent and reported to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia: "General Zhao, Mr. Guo, Captain Zhao Chong is asking to see you outside the tent!"

Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia couldn't help but look at each other, thinking to themselves, Zhao Chong came to ask for an audience, could it be that he sent the messenger who strayed into his camp last night?So Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered the little school: "Hurry up and ask Captain Zhang to come in!"

Zhang Chong walked in from the outside with big strides, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, and said, "Zhang Chong sees General Zhao and Mr. Guo!"

"Lieutenant Zhang, please get up quickly!" After Zhao Yun asked Zhang Chong to stand up, he asked curiously, "I don't know if Captain Zhang came to the general's tent early in the morning. Is there anything important?"

"Return to General Zhao," Zhang Chong hurriedly cupped his hands at Zhao Yun, and said, "The last general came here to ask, when will we attack Meiwu?"

Knowing that Zhang Chong came here just to find out when to attack the city, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces.Fortunately, Zhang Chong didn't find out, and he still said to himself: "Nowadays, people in Meiwu City must be in panic. We should take this opportunity to attack the city, and then Meiwu will fall soon."

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had no doubts about the fact that people in Meiwu City were panicked.However, there are not many siege equipment in the army at this moment, and launching a siege battle rashly will only increase casualties in vain.So Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Lieutenant Zhang, please be safe and don't be impatient. The morale of the army in Meiwu City is not stable. We have already known about it. But at this moment, the army lacks siege equipment. If we rush to attack the city, the soldiers will suffer heavy losses."

"Lieutenant Zhang," Zhao Yun had just finished speaking, and Guo Jia continued: "Our army is stationed outside the city of Meiwu, slowly building siege equipment, and it will not be too late to launch an attack after the defense of the defenders relaxes. When the enemy army has no convenience, we can go down with one drum."

Seeing that both Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were unwilling to attack the city immediately, Zhang Chong inevitably showed a disappointed expression on his face.However, considering his status as a general, he didn't dare to say too much, lest he bring himself a fatal disaster.Then he bowed to the two of them and said: "Since the two of you have no intention of attacking the city, then Zhang will take his leave."

After sending Zhang Chong away, Zhao Yun sighed and said, "It seems that Wu Xi's messenger did not go to his camp by mistake last night. Mr. Feng Xiao, tell me, what should we do?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan in his hand and said unhurriedly: "No movement is worse than silence. Although there is no movement in the city, we might as well wait another day. If there is still no news, it will not be too late for us to send troops to attack the city. "

"But the army lacks siege equipment"

"General Zilong," Guo Jia didn't wait for Zhao Yun to finish, and interrupted him, "Although we have to wait for Wu Xi's messenger to arrive before we decide how to capture Meiwu. But now there is no news from the other party. We can’t just sit around and do nothing. How about this, Jia immediately went to summon the artisans in the army to start building the equipment needed for the siege.”

Zhao Yun's camp was only two or three miles away from Meiwu. As soon as they started building siege equipment, they were immediately discovered by soldiers patrolling the city. The soldiers reported the matter to Wu Xi.

After Wu Xi got the report from the soldiers, he took Feng Er to the top of the city.He looked as far as the eye could see, in Zhao Yun's camp, there were indeed many people building siege equipment.Seeing this situation, Wu Xi was very depressed: "I have seen that we have already agreed to submit to Jizhou, why does General Zhao arrange for manpower to build siege equipment? Does it mean that you can't trust me?"

"The general is too worried." As soon as Feng Erwai Wu Xi finished speaking, he quickly comforted him and said, "When the Jizhou army besieged the city yesterday, we should have sneaked into the army overnight and discussed with General Zhao and the others about dedicating the city. But last night In order to get rid of the hidden stakes that Hu Zhen planted around the mansion, so that we could not send people to visit General Zhao. He may not know whether we have changed our minds, so he ordered people to build siege equipment to make a comprehensive plan."

After listening to Feng Er's words, Wu Xi hurriedly said to him: "After dark tonight, you have to sneak into General Zhao anyway and agree to discuss with him about dedicating the city."

"Young one obeys." Feng Er quickly replied, "Young one will definitely not disappoint the general's trust."

As soon as it got dark, Feng Er climbed down from a city wall with no defenders along the rope, and ran towards Zhao Yun's camp a few miles away.When he came to the outside of the gate, a team of guards immediately came over and asked: "Who is here, don't you know that this is an important place for military camps. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame swords and guns for being blind."

After Feng Er waited for the other party to finish speaking, he said unhurriedly: "This military lord, I am an old acquaintance of your General Zhao, please send someone to report that Feng Er is asking to see you!"

"Go away!" The team leader thought that Feng Er was talking nonsense here, and waved at him quickly, trying to drive him away: "If you don't leave again, don't blame the team leader for being merciless."

Feng Er thought that he had taken a risk to come here, if the goalkeeper didn't let him in, he might miss a big deal.He saw more than a dozen soldiers standing behind the team leader. If he wanted to force his way through, he would definitely be unable to break through. He could only resort to outsmarting.

Thinking of this, Feng Er said to the team: "Master Jun, I still have something important to say to you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly." The team leader urged.
