Ordinary soldiers thought that those private soldiers were higher-level troops, so they won the trust of Futai and Zhao Tongzhi, and they often came and went in and out of the camp as they pleased.

They are envious, but their martial arts skills are not as good as these private armies, but they still recognize the existence of these private armies from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Wei was also very talented and courageous. He followed him time and time again, and because he was Qin Shouzheng's confidant, he was able to figure out all this.

At this time, Zhou Gu's face turned a little pale. He did not expect that Nalanjing actually hit the target. Zhao Tongzhi had raised an army for so many years and it was near the barracks.

Instead of a small-scale killer, they are stationed in Wanhua Building.

Rong Xuan's face was hidden in darkness, and his expression could not be clearly seen.

Zhou Gu came to his senses and asked quickly: "How many people do they have in their private army?"

Li Wei said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of private troops!"

Zhou Gu's face was horrified. There were only three thousand troops in the city, but there were thousands of private troops.

Thousands of people are all killers and martial arts masters.

How to fight this battle?

Zhou Gu looked at Rong Xuan.

Rong Xuan motioned to Zhou Gu and Li Wei to follow him.

Li Wei did not hesitate, held the token tightly and left the camp.

He knew that Zhou Gu and Rong Xuan were waiting for him secretly and greeted the governor's soldiers. He would leave for a while and come back soon.

The soldiers respectfully watched him leave.

Li Wei rode around the corner and met Rong Xuan.

The three of them went to Li Wei's built-in house in Fucheng, which was very close to the city tower.

When they got to the house, the three of them discussed how to outwit them.

Li Wei: "The private army is usually heavily guarded. No one can enter except their people."

There were also some soldiers who approached without being sensible and were killed directly.

Those people act recklessly and ruthlessly, and no one dares to touch them.

Futai and Zhao Tongzhi gave them the supreme power of life and death.

Zhou Gu: "They are usually stationed together?"

Li Wei nodded: "In addition to seeing people going out when performing tasks, the camp is patrolled and defended all day long. My subordinates don't know the specific situation."

He could only judge by its size that the private army numbered several thousand.

Zhou Gu nodded and said solemnly: "The private army of thousands of people are all masters. We can only outmaneuver and disperse the private army. Otherwise, with one against three, we will suffer heavy losses and the gain will not be worth the loss.

"

Li Wei nodded. He is a military commander, so he naturally understands this truth.

Zhou Gu thought deeply: "The private army is highly skilled in martial arts and obeys the orders of Zhao and Su. We can use Zhao and Su to disperse their forces and eliminate them in stages."

Li Wei nodded excitedly, waiting for him to continue.

Zhou Gu walked around the table, took two more steps back and forth, and continued to speak: "We can send people to attack the Zhao and Su families at the same time, attacking from the east and the west. The private army will definitely enter the city after hearing the news. They will be divided into three groups, and one group will go to Zhao Mansion to rescue them.

, one group went to Su Mansion to rescue them, and the remaining group continued to garrison the camp."

"In normal times, they would definitely not have more than a hundred people entering the city together, but if our regular troops enter the city in a big way at the same time, they will be alert. Nearly half of the private troops will enter the city, and the other half will continue to garrison the private army camp.

"

"We let people attack from east to west. After attacking Zhao and Su's family, you took the order of defense, led three thousand soldiers and horses in Fucheng, and went to Zhao's house in the name of rescue. You controlled Zhao Tongzhi, locked up Zhao's family, and encircled and suppressed them.

Rescue the Zhao family's private army, wait until the matter is settled, and then quickly go to the Su family, encircle and suppress the Su family, lock up the Su family, and wipe out the private army that rescued the Su family."

"We will take advantage of the unpreparedness of the private armies on the outskirts of the city to encircle and suppress the remaining private armies. We have the equipment to defend the city tower and can garrison the tower to fight. By then, we will have 3,000 troops and wipe out half of the remaining private armies in one go."

Li Wei knelt down in admiration, with excited eyes: "What a great plan, sir!"

There was no trace of arrogance on Zhou Gu's face, and he looked at Rong Xuan seriously: "Brother Rong, do you think it's feasible?"

Rong Xuan gave him an approving look.

Zhou Gu felt flattered for a moment. It was not easy to get Rong Xuan's approval.

—

Rong Xuan had in his hand the fireworks signals communicated by Su Shirong's secret guards. Nalanjing and the county magistrate quickly brought the secret guards over to meet them.

The county magistrate was carried by two secret guards all the way up the eaves and walls. At this time, he was stroking his chest and rubbing his sore arms, with a bitter look on his face.

Zhou Gu told them his plan.

This time, Rong Xuan and the county magistrate led their men to attack the Zhao family. Their purpose was simple, not to fight to the end, but to definitely cause tension in the Zhao family.

The Zhao family would use these private troops and send a signal to let them enter the city.

Nalanjing and Su Shirong led secret guards to attack Su Mansion. The people in their hands could not do anything to Su Zhi. After all, he had many masters around him.

But they don't need to actually kill Su Zhi. They just need to hold onto Mrs. Su and Su Minyue, and let Su Zhi mobilize his private army into the city. Even if the goal is achieved.

Zhou Guze and Li Wei led 3,000 soldiers and horses to mobilize into the city. They first surrounded the Zhao family and imprisoned them, and then attacked the Su family.

Among them, the Zhao family needs to fight quickly, while the Su family needs to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

As for the private troops remaining outside the city gate, Rong Xuan also suggested that after the three thousand soldiers and horses entered the city, they quickly closed the city gate tightly and set up numerous traps on the city tower in advance.

Once those private soldiers sense that something is wrong, they will find a way to enter the city. They have martial arts and can easily climb the tower.

He would waste no troops and let them die miserably under the trap without any chance of return.

It was Xu o'clock in the evening, when the watchman started his first watch, and there were still four hours before the fifth watch at Yin o'clock in the morning.

Four hours, a whole long night, was enough for them to prepare.

There are defense equipment and some simple-to-operate mechanisms in the city tower. Li Wei took a few trustworthy people to cooperate with Rong Xuan to improve the equipment.

Four hours is eight clocks
