The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 175 Make a plan and then move

The sergeants in the tent retreated, leaving only Zhu Xiu, Li Chongjin and Zhou Guangxun.

Zhou Guangxun's face was gloomy and he said angrily: "You want to threaten me with my mother? Despicable!"

Li Chongjin said angrily: "Fart! Don't be so ungrateful! Even without you, I can break into Puzhou City!"

Zhu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a threat, it's just to let you see our sincerity and give you a choice."

After a pause, Zhu Xiu spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit, you actually have no choice. If you want to survive, surrendering is not enough. You must do things for us."

Zhou Guangxun gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to serve Li Shouzhen anymore, and I don't want to surrender to the court. I just want to take my mother away from home, find a quiet place without war, and make a living by farming from now on!"

Zhu Xiu sat back in his chair and sneered: "The world is still uncertain, how can there be peace? What you want to surrender today is not the imperial court, but Guo Shuai!"

Zhou Guangxun frowned and said, "What's the difference?"

"Don't ask any more questions, you will know later."

Zhou Guangxun was silent for a while, then sneered: "If I don't want to, will you kill me and my mother?"

Zhu Xiu smacked his lips and said: "It's enough to kill you. The old lady is innocent. I will naturally send someone to take her back to Huayin and leave her a sum of money for her old age. After killing you, I will tell her that you have surrendered." The imperial court became an official and an army, but it was a pity that he died on the battlefield.”

Zhu Xiu said it lightly, Zhou Guangxun heard it in his ears, but his whole body felt cold.

"Who are you?" Zhou Guangxun asked.

Zhu Xiu smiled lightly and said, "My name is Zhu Xiu, and I'm just a small job under Guo Shuai's command. But don't worry, the conditions I promised you are what Guo Shuai promised you."

Zhou Guangxun stared at him but remained silent.

He even had the illusion that since the idea of ​​fleeing Puzhou City came into his mind, he had already fallen into a big net that had already been woven.

If all this is the work of the person in front of me, then his thoughts are too deep and terrifying.

Zhu Xiu looked at the starry sky outside the tent and sighed: "Make a decision quickly, it will be dawn soon. You escaped from the city this time with no intention of going back. If the rebels in the city find out that you are missing, you will lose The value of using it. Whether you can survive when the time comes is not up to me."

Zhou Guangxun had a war between heaven and man in his mind, and he struggled for a while, before saying in a deep voice: "After I serve, I hope to continue to serve in Hezhong, and I don't want to go elsewhere. My mother's homeland is hard to leave, and I want to take care of her nearby. The Hezhong Army serves as an army envoy, and after surrender, my position cannot be reduced!"

Zhu Xiu praised: "The filial son of Huayin Zhou is indeed worthy of his reputation! I will agree to your terms for the time being, but it will depend on your performance in the future."

Zhou Guangxun snorted coldly: "You want me to return to Puzhou City, as an internal agent, to open the city gate and help the army break the city?"

"Smart!" Zhu Xiu snapped his fingers.

Li Chongjin said harshly: "Shuai Guo is kind and does not want soldiers to sacrifice their lives in vain, otherwise there is no need for you!"

Zhou Guangxun said without fear: "You can try it! When the moat is filled with the corpses of the army, maybe you can break Puzhou City!"

Li Chongjin stared in anger, but was speechless.

Zhu Xiu glared at this guy and said, "What are you going to do? Is it possible?"

Zhou Guangxun thought for a moment and said: "Wang Jixun guards the south gate. He has six military envoys and deputy generals, and I am one of them. Wang Jixun can't stand the noise at night. Every day after dark, he returns to the inner city to rest. I and I Six military generals take turns to guard the city, and when I am on duty, it will be my chance."

Zhu Xiu nodded and asked: "How many people can follow you to start a rebellion?" Zhou Guangxun thought for a while and said: "I have more than 100 soldiers and horses, all from Huayin, Chaoyi, and Puzhou City." Local people, because Li Shouzhen deducted rations from the Luocheng defenders, there was a lot of complaints in the army and people's hearts were unstable. Once an incident breaks out, I am sure to mobilize at least [-]% of the soldiers to follow me!"

"Great!" Zhu Xiu punched hard, and Li Shouzhen was in trouble. This was really a God-given opportunity to destroy the city!
"Li Shouzhen has lost the morale of the army, so you might as well add fuel to the fire. In this way, after you go back, you can secretly spread the news that Li Shouzhen is about to give an order to mobilize soldiers and horses to organize a breakout, and your generals are among them!
In the current situation, all fools know that if you break through, you will definitely die, and you will never succeed!If this happens, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos. If you take the opportunity to cause trouble again, you will definitely respond!Luocheng is in chaos. You open the city gate and lower the drawbridge, and my army will cover you up and enter the city!As long as Luocheng is occupied, the death of Li Shouzhen and his son will be imminent! "

Zhu Xiu took two steps with his hands behind his back and gave instructions to Zhou Guangxun face to face.

Zhou Guangxun was startled, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

This move of his is enough to completely intensify the anger of Luocheng defenders.

Li Chongjin shook his big head, his face full of regret: "No good idea, it's almost the same as what I thought! Alas~ It's a pity that you said it first~"

Zhu Xiu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him, and then said: "You should have a way to contact people in the inner city. After you go back, you send people to the inner city to find a warehouse in the east of the city whose shopkeeper is named Bi, and make trouble for you. Tell them the exact time.”

Zhou Guangxun said in surprise: "Do you have people stationed in the inner city?"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "Do as I say, and don't worry about the rest. Starting from tomorrow night, you will burn three torches on the west side of the tower every night. When you decide to take action, you will remove the torches and I will be there." Prepare the camp."

Zhou Guangxun took a deep breath and clasped his fists heavily: "I understand!"

Zhu Xiu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I wish General Zhou success!"

Zhou Guangxun nodded and glanced at the sky: "I want to see my mother again."

"Okay, but hurry, it's getting daylight."

Zhou Guangxun said nothing, looked deeply at Zhu Xiu, turned around and left the military tent. A sergeant took him to visit Zhou's mother.

Li Chongjin geared up and said, "I will be the first to rush into Puzhou City!"

Zhu Xiu glanced at him sideways and stretched out his hand: "Exchange the Yanling knife for me."

Li Chongjin jumped away like a madman, holding the saber tightly: "It belongs to me!"

Zhu Xiu retracted his hand and sneered: "When did I say I gave it to you? Come back, otherwise I will ask Shi Dalang to come and ask for it from you!"

Li Chongjin gritted his teeth, his black face fell, and he begged bitterly: "Brother Xiu, we are brothers who have died, so give this knife to my brother!"

Zhu Xiu secretly smiled, pretending to be hesitant and said: "It's not impossible to give it to you, but what's the benefit for me?"

Li Chongjin rolled his eyes, patted his chest and said, "You and I are brothers. Whoever dares to bully you in the future, just tell your brother that he will stand up for you!"

Zhu Xiu clapped her hands: "This is what you said!"

Li Chongjin said proudly: "When did I, the Black King, ever say anything without telling the truth? From now on, if you mention my brother's name, I guarantee that you will be able to walk sideways in Kaifeng!"

"Hehe~~" Zhu Xiu rubbed his hands with a wicked smile on his face.

He bought Li Chongjin with a Yanling knife. This was a really good deal.
