Wei Wuhou

Chapter 804 Besieged in Qufu 3
As night fell, Zhuge Ming sat behind the general's case, looking extremely tired.

This is already the third day of the Wei army's siege, and the Qi army in the city has cut off news from the outside world, which makes the generals of the Qi army feel uneasy.

They are now under the siege of the [-] Wei army, and they cannot understand the pressure unless they are in it. As a general, Zhuge Ming is under great pressure.

Being besieged is already very annoying, but the Wei army did not attack the city for three days. This kind of delaying method wasted a lot on the spirit of the soldiers.

This is what Zhuge Ming is very worried about. If he doesn't even have the energy for the final battle, what will the Qi army do to resist the mighty Wei army?
Moreover, the Wei army was not completely inactive. Although there was no battle in the past two days, the Wei army used various means to persuade the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender.

"Wei people, it's really hateful!" Zhuge Ming said angrily.

He was the only one in the lobby, so Zhuge Ming couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he could only sulk himself.

In fact, in Qufu City, there are not many people worthy of Zhuge Ming's dialogue.

Lu Boji found that Zhuge Ming didn't bother to talk to him, and there was another person who was his partner this time, Zhou Can, the general who commanded another Qi army.

It's just that Zhuge Ming and Zhou Can can't get along because their classes or political stances are opposite.

Zhuge Ming was born in the Zhuge family in Linzi, while Zhou Can was promoted by the monarch from a poor family. It is strange that they get along well.

But sometimes he was afraid of what would come, and when Zhuge Ming was upset, Zhou Can walked in from the lobby.

"General Zhuge, there is something that I feel is very strange, and I am here to discuss it with you!" Zhou Can said after entering the lobby.

Although I dislike Zhou Can from the bottom of my heart, everyone is in the same trench now, so Zhuge Ming still gets along with Zhou Can in harmony on the surface.

So Zhuge Ming stood up, pretending to greet Zhou Can and said, "What is it that requires General Zhou to come in person?"

Zhou Can was a little surprised that Zhuge Ming was so eager.

The state of Qi is not the state of Wei. Strictly speaking, state affairs are still controlled by the aristocratic family, so a white body like Zhou Can can't help being a head shorter than Zhuge Ming.

After the two of them were courteous, Zhou Can got down to business and said, "Brother Zhuge, just now a lieutenant from Beicheng under my control came to report that there were guests coming to Xu's mansion this afternoon, and they went there several times!"

"The Wei army has besieged the city for the past few days, and the families in the northern city have had little contact with each other. Today, the Xu family has so many visitors. I feel very suspicious!"

Hearing Zhou Can's words, Zhuge Ming had the urge to scold people at that time. The family's house is just to receive guests, so there is nothing to doubt!

Although he didn't think so, Zhuge Ming still asked: "The Xu family, that Xu family?"

Zhou Can said, "It's the Xu family in the north of the city!"

"The Xu family in the north of the city..." Zhuge Ming read it again. He had an impression of this family and knew that the Xu family was the largest family in Qufu.

In the past few days, all the clans have kept their doors behind closed doors, but the Xu family has the ability to attract guests, which is really suspicious.

What's more, the other party is still a big family in Qufu, so its abnormal behavior is even more acceptable.

In order to defend the city, any doubts should not be let go, this is the principle Zhuge Ming set for himself.

Therefore, after Zhuge Ming thought twice, he said to Zhou Can: "Since they are abnormal, then arrest them all!"

"The Xu family supported Ji Yi back then, who knows if he still has his heart for Wei, we would rather kill the wrong than let him go!"

Hearing Zhuge Ming's words, Zhou Can also agreed, and even wanted to execute these people directly.

But it was impossible for Zhuge Ming to agree with him to do this. After all, they were in Qufu City, and there were nearly [-] Lu people in it. They still needed the support of Lu people.

North City is controlled by Zhou Can, so of course he should be responsible for arresting people.

So he clapped his hands, and a soldier came in from outside the lobby, and Zhou Can asked this person to convey the military order.

Ever since, after the conversation between the two, the fate of the Xu family and other big families was decided.

In fact, when Xu Wei called Xie Zhouren at the beginning, he did it very secretly. Later, when he called the second wave of people, he was accidentally discovered by soldiers of the Qi army.

But Qi Jun knew it too late. When they mobilized their soldiers to rush to Xu Wei's mansion, the Xu family's conspiracy was over.

In the end, Xu Wei still convinced everyone to take the risk.

Of course, the reason why everyone was allowed to pass was because the Xu family had won the patrolling soldiers, which made their success rate much higher.

When everyone secretly left from the Xu Mansion, their plan had already started to be implemented, but the Xu Mansion became the most idle.

At this time, Xu Wei was negotiating benefits with Jian Ding, after all, he helped Jian Ding to facilitate this matter.

For Xu Wei's request, Jian Ding naturally agreed, anyway, he just reported it to the report, and it was none of his business whether the higher-ups agreed.

It's just that Jane is very anxious about this matter, he just wants to leave the Xu family as soon as possible, it is still too dangerous for him, even though the Xu family has agreed to his request.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I, Jian, will definitely present your merits to the lord, and your benefits will definitely be indispensable, and then Jian will have to ask you to take care of me!" Jian Ding said flatteringly, but at this moment he was already absent-minded.

Xu Wei laughed and left, but still kept Jian Ding under house arrest.

Letting Jian Ding go, he lost contact with Wei Guo. When Wei Jun broke the city, no one could prove his Xu family's contribution, so Xu Wei must keep Jian Ding.

Xu Wei actually didn't believe Jian Ding's words, and now he only prayed that the family could survive the war.

But at this time, a group of soldiers had already arrived at the Xu Mansion, and they were here to arrest people!
When Zhou Can stayed at Zhuge Ming's place to discuss the war and waited for the Xu family to be controlled, some soldiers came to report that the Xu family had really turned against him.

This shocked Zhuge Ming and the others. Although they had previously suspected that the Xu family was plotting something wrong, they actually did not believe it. Who knew that the Xu family had really turned against them.

"Good courage!" Zhuge Ming scolded angrily.

Then he said to the soldier: "If the order continues, no one in the Xu family will be left alive. If you dare to oppose our country of Qi, you will have to pay the price!"

Zhou Can is also very angry at this time, Beicheng is the territory he controls, the Xu family doesn't take him seriously!

Moreover, this does not mean that Zhou Can is not effective in suppressing him, and he is a villain born from below.

"Kill, don't keep a single one!" Zhou Can followed suit.

The two generals issued an order at the same time, and when they came to report to the soldiers, they rushed to deliver the order. No one could save the Xu family.

The shouting of the Xu family quickly alarmed the nearby mansion, and then the news spread quickly.

Half an hour later, the heads of the families who had just attended the meeting knew about the situation of the Xu family, and at this time Zhuge Ming also issued an order to destroy the Xu family.

When the matter was revealed, it was the time when all the families were in panic, but now they heard that the entire Xu family had been beheaded, and they were even more terrified.

Qi Jun's cruel and domineering methods also completely forced this group of people back.They are also afraid that they will be brought together by the Xu family, and then suffer the fate of extermination.

Therefore, several big clans all mobilized at the same time, and more than 2000 Lu soldiers who still had the system were also mobilized. Their goal was the North Gate of Qufu.

When Zhuge Ming and the two were still angry at the west gate, they heard the thunderous sound of drums coming from the north gate, which made their faces change drastically.

This is a signal of a powerful enemy invading!
The north gate was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Can, and at this moment, he didn't care about etiquette, so he stood up from his seat and rushed out of the lobby.

But at this time, there was a messenger full of soldiers who came and met Zhou Can on the stone steps outside the lobby.

"What's going on?" Zhou Can asked in a cold voice, this is the second accident in his jurisdiction.

Then, the soldier panicked and said: "General, the people of Lu have rebelled..."
