Demon of the Three Kingdoms

"Master Hou? I don't know what arrangement Master Hou has. If it is necessary to choose four people, the four of us will naturally try our best to serve Master Hou!" The candidate clasped his hands and asked Lu Rui for instructions.

"General Waiting, don't worry. I will send someone to inform the General tomorrow, and ask the four generals to stand by and wait for military orders at any time!"

"promise!"

Zhang Baiqi's barracks outside Anding City, Zhang Baiqi had just returned to the barracks, and he recruited several confidant soldiers.

"See Qu Shuai!" These four are Zhang Baiqi's confidants in the Yellow Turban Army.

"Okay, you all get up!"

"Thank you handsome!"

"I don't know why Qu Shuai called me here for something important?"

"You immediately go to the city in makeup and investigate the movements of the four candidates. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!"

"Yes, Commander Qu!" The four soldiers clasped their hands, left the tent, put on makeup, and entered Anding City.

"Guys, please give me some food. I haven't eaten rice for many days, Guanye, Guanye!" Soon, a beggar came to the Anding prefect's mansion, begging the gatekeeper for some food.In the Han Dynasty, the families of officials usually had leftovers. Many beggars took advantage of this opportunity and went to ask for it when it was time to eat.

"Get out! Get out! I haven't eaten yet, how can you have a meal?" The soldier saw a dirty beggar approaching him, and hurriedly waved the beggar away.Then turn around and return to your post.

"Master!"

"Get out! Didn't you say that there is no food?" The soldier waved his hand easily and turned his head.

"Are you...?" The soldier froze for a moment, then looked back.It turned out to be a well-dressed man.Not the beggar just now.

"Master Jun! My younger brother is a small businessman who has just arrived in Anding. If you want to come to see the prefect, please be so convenient."

"Get out! The prefect is something you can see whenever you want? You don't even look at your identity, leave quickly, or I'll be rude!"

"Master, calm down, calm down. The villain knows how to behave. After speaking, the businessman took out some gold leaves from his pocket and handed them to the soldiers."

"Oh? Hahaha! It seems that you are still a smart person." The soldier quickly put away the gold leaf.

"Master Jun. Then, can the villain ask the Lord Jun to send the greeting card, and the villain wants to see the prefect."

"This...?" The soldier guarding the gate hesitated.

"Could it be that the military lord is not as polite as a villain? Please do me a favor, military lord!" The businessman took out another gold leaf from his bosom.

"Hey! It's not that I don't give you convenience, it's just that the four generals are not at the residence, and I can't help you pass on the report." The soldier made a helpless expression, and finally put the golden leaf in his arms.

"Master, aren't the four generals at the residence?" The businessman approached the soldiers and asked quietly.

"I won't lie to you either. The four generals left the mansion in a hurry just now, and they didn't eat at the mansion, and I haven't eaten yet."

"So that's how it is. Master Jun, if the four generals return to the mansion, please go to the Jinmen Inn in the city at night and tell me that I am a businessman from North Qiang, Wuhan University!"

"Okay! Seeing that you are a smart person, I will run for you at night."

"Thank you, Master!"

At night, Zhang Baiqi's spies got some important news from the prefect's mansion.

First, after meeting a businessman from Hedong, the four candidates left the prefect's mansion in a hurry, not knowing what was going on.

Second, the four candidates rejected the visit of Zhang Baiqi, a spy who pretended to be a businessman.

Third, he returned to the prefect's mansion when he was a candidate for the son of four.

On the second day, just after dawn, Lu Rui entered the Anding Prefect's Mansion from the back door of the Prefect's Mansion, where the four candidates had already been waiting.

"At the end, I will see Lord Hou!"

"Four generals please stand up!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Did the four generals sleep well last night?" Lu Rui blew on the hot tea and took a sip.

"The four candidates have already served as Lord Sikong. They are in a good mood. They slept well yesterday. Thank you Lord Hou for your concern." The four candidates immediately understood what Lu Rui meant when they heard Lu Rui's words.

"Hahaha! The four generals are indeed smart people. Since this is the case, Ben Houye will tell the truth. Please help me kill Zhang Baiqi, and make the first contribution to Lord Sikong!"

"The final general is willing to obey Lord Hou's orders!"

"Okay! General Yang, I heard that you and Zhang Baiqi have disagreements?"

"this.......?"

"Returning to the Marquis, Qiu just can't understand Zhang Baiqi, a literati, and even pointing fingers at us Xiliang veterans, and marching and fighting, how can Zhang Baiqi, a literati, understand?" Yang Qiu heard Zhang Baiqi If it wasn't for Zhang Baiqi, how could his subordinates have lost more than half in the battle of Anding? Even in Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he didn't lose so much.

"Then General Hou is a good man?" Lu Rui smiled and glanced at the candidate.

"Returning to Lord Hou, when the four of us were in the Xiliang Army, it was true. I wonder if Lord Hou asked about this...?"

"General Hou, although Zhang Baiqi led his troops to Anding, he did not attack the four generals, which shows that Zhang Baiqi still does not want to tear his face apart. If this is the case, if General Hou writes to Zhang Baiqi, he will mediate between General Yang and Zhang Baiqi's contradiction, I'm afraid Zhang Baiqi will not be able to refuse!"

"Master Hou is wise, what does Master Hou mean to let Zhang Baiqi come to the prefect's mansion? Shall we hold a banquet at the prefect's mansion?"

"General Hou, you are wrong. Since Zhang Baiqi brought troops here from the north, he has become suspicious of the four of you. How could he come to the banquet so easily?"

"Then what Hou Ye meant...?" The candidate was stunned for a moment, and if he didn't invite Zhang Baiqi, how could he kill Zhang Baiqi?

"General Hou, the Hongmen Banquet is going to be held, but it's not in the Anding Prefect's Mansion, but in Zhang Baiqi's barracks!"

"In Zhang Baiqi's barracks?"

"Yes, General Hou can reconcile the conflict between General Yang and Zhang Baiqi, and take General Yang to Zhang Baiqi's barracks in person."

"What? Master Hou wants me to go to Zhang Baiqi's barracks with General Yang?"

"Yes, if Zhang Baiqi is invited to come, Zhang Baiqi will definitely not want to, but if the two generals go to Zhang Baiqi's barracks, Zhang Baiqi has no reason to refuse."

"What does Lord Hou mean...?"

"General Hou, how many soldiers and horses does Zhang Bai have under his command?"

"Well, reporting back to Lord Hou, there are not many soldiers under Zhang Baiqi, only a few hundred, but when Cheng Yin went south to Weishui River, he should have left a military horse for Zhang Baiqi in the north. According to the spies' report, according to Zhang Bai Judging from the number of camps we rode, there should be five thousand horses."

"Yes, there is no deviation from this Marquis' information. Four generals, how many soldiers do you have?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, the last general and others have a total of more than [-] sergeants in the headquarters, plus some Qiang soldiers and Huqi, there are about [-] sergeants."

"If General Hou goes to Zhang Baiqi's barracks, even if Zhang Baiqi doesn't plot against General Hou, he will order soldiers to garrison the barracks. The four generals have 5000 soldiers. If they can't even take down an ordinary army barracks of [-] people, how can we talk about it?" Allegiance to Lord Sikong?"

"This...?" The candidate was stunned. Lu Rui really didn't let go of an opportunity for the four candidates to fight to the death. Zhang Baiqi's military stronghold was simple, after all, Zhang Baiqi had just arrived in Anding City In addition, if the other 3 people can't beat Zhang Baiqi's 3 soldiers in field battles, then the [-] people are pigs.

"Four generals?"

"The final general is willing to obey Lord Hou's orders!" The candidate knew that the four of them had no way out, and thinking of Lu Rui's promise, the candidate gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay! Four generals are welcome."

Outside Anding City, Zhang Baiqi was shocked after listening to the spies' report, and quickly recruited his confidants into the army tent. (To be continued..)
