The guide named Zhou was named Liang. He was over thirty years old. He was short and fat, with a yellow skin, and his beard was sparse under his jaw. He looked even more depressed and outdated among the "bandits" of Yan Xing. He was originally a down-and-out scholar in Youfufeng. His family was barely bare and had no relatives and friends to surrender, so he could only rely on the vassals and gangs of powerful families.

Once, he followed a group of wealthy families in bright clothes and horses to go out for a walk. Unfortunately, he met a large group of thieves and bandits by the forest. Many noble children were so scared that they urinated. Under the protection of their entourage, they quickly slapped their horses and fled. He was riding a slow horse. At the critical moment, the horse was so scared that it fled in the opposite direction, and was caught by the thieves and bandits.

Zhou Liang, who was trapped in a thief's nest, was lucky to be not eaten by these hungry bandits who were wandering around and doing evil. Instead, he could use his knowledge of writing to make some robbers and cut the way to balance the tricks on the inside, and became a dog-headed military advisor among bandits.

Then, this bandit who had been wandering in Sanfu met the Hu cavalry of the Han army who suppressed the bandits. Although the bandits were good at hiding and roaming, they could not escape the pursuit in the wild with the Hu cavalry who had come and go. In less than a moment, the bandits were beaten up and down in a nest. Whether it was the leader of the thief who had been evil for many years or the newly-carried thiefs, they were chopped up by the fierce and barbaric Hu cavalry. Only Zhou Liang, with his sweet words he had learned in the thief's den, lied that he was the Sanfu scholar who had just been plundered by the thief, escaped by chance and was brought back to Dongying by the Han cavalry general led by the Hu cavalry.

There were many warriors and generals in Dong Zhuo's army, but there were no civil servants who were well-versed in literature and writing. The imbalance between civil and military affairs, and the military was in power. This was also a major disadvantage in Dong Zhuo's army. From top to bottom, there were a group of rough martial artists who only knew how to dance with swords and guns. They were entirely relied on Li Ru and some minor officials. The scholars were barely supporting the operation of documents and memorials and letters. Therefore, although Zhou Liang, who was captured in Dong's camp, had committed himself to the bandits before, Li Ru took his eyes on his ability to read and snipe, so he took him under the tent and became a minor official in the army with his head buried in the documents.

Zhou Liang, who was lucky in disguise, turned around and changed from a traitor military advisor to a minor official in Dong Zhuo's army. Although he was humble and said lightly, he was alone in the Dong camp and had no worries. In addition to handling documents, he could occasionally join the other minor official to take the opportunity to take some military supplies, grain and silk, and live a happy life.

Unexpectedly, after Li Ru offered Dong Zhuo the plan to "raise the enemy and respect the troops and wait and see", he encountered the incident of Yan Xing's eagerness to leave Dong's camp to make meritorious service and cleanse his identity as a rebel. Therefore, Zhou Liang, a minor official, had committed the past of the bandits and was a local person from Youfufeng. He was not aware of the situation and was directly sent by Li Ru to Yan Xing's group of "bandits" to serve as a "bandits" who both monitor, lead the way, and contact.

He was originally doing well in the Dongying Army, but he was sent to bury the mountains and forests with such a group of desperate people, and to rob the family, and to return to the days when he was committed to the thieves. Zhou Liang, who was full of resentment, certainly did not dare to vent his anger at Li Ru, so he could only scatter to Yan Xing and others.

Therefore, after Zhou Liang led the way to take the detour to Qishan, he tried his best to instigate Yan Xing and others to attack this fort built at the foot of the mountain. On the surface, he told Yan Xing vigorously about the many benefits of capturing the fort: he could not only use the food and weapons in the fort to replenish his soldiers, but also make a good impression on Li Ru. In addition, he wrote a letter to Yan Xing and others to express his merits. This matter of atonement for merits and atonement can be quickly resolved, and Yan Xing and others will soon be able to get a name in the Dongying camp.

In order to strengthen Yan Xing and others' determination to attack the fort, Zhou Liang, who looked treacherous, secretly leaked some "secrets" in Yan Xing's Dong camp: Li Ru planned to cultivate some confidants in the army, and the secret battle between the Liang people and the Liao people in the army...

In fact, while Zhou Liang was blindly instigating, he was also secretly calculating in his heart: if this fort cannot be captured, then this group of "bandits" would have suffered heavy casualties, and he could return to the Dong camp to be his own minor official. If this fort was captured by this group of "bandits", he would undoubtedly be able to successfully take advantage of the situation and gain additional credit for himself.

Faced with the endless instigation of this guide named Zhou and the hints he mentioned from time to time, Yan Xing, who was eager to make contributions, was indeed a little moved.

Although it is not a good time to attack these forts at this time, often when the weather starts to turn cold in February and March, these high-ranking and powerful tribes will build portals, set up guards, or repair five soldiers and practice fighting shooting to prevent the thieves who are hungry in spring and the bandits who are in cold and cold.

So even late at night, there were still sparks on the gatehouse of the fortress, and people flashed. Obviously, the owner of the fortress was also prepared. He used deep ditches and high walls to patrol the crowd to guard against the possible emergence of the thief of spring hunger and grass burglars in February and March.

However, this fort is not a wall of iron and cannot be conquered. If the fort was built on the hillside and sent people to guard the mountain roads, there would be few people, and Yan Xing and others who lacked military armor would naturally not be able to conquer it. However, the owner of this fort built the fort in an open area at the foot of the mountain, which gave Yan Xing the opportunity to send people to sneak attack at night and break into the door.

At this time, Yan Xing lurked in the night. He looked at the fort that was shrouded in the night. He tightened his fists and turned a deaf ear to the annoying sound of mosquitoes in his ears. The guide Zhou, who squatted beside him, had a yellow skin, had a treacherous face, and looked like a villain, was very annoyed by these blood-sucking mosquitoes. While he kept waving his hands to drive away the mosquitoes surrounding him, he asked anxiously:

"Captain Yan, how long will it take to wait? Can everyone do it?"

After his impatient voice, Yan Xing did not answer, but looked at him. The terrifying eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and the faint cold light between his eyes scared Zhou Liang even more. He was squatting between the grass and was frightened and stammered. After a while, he regained his courage and asked a little annoyed and embarrassed:

"Captain Yan, how long do you have to wait? This great opportunity cannot be slipped away in vain!"

Yan Xing withdrew his oppressive eyes and still didn't say anything. Of course, he knew that the guide surnamed Zhou wanted to use him from the beginning. If it weren't for "fighting hard, it would be better to make a clever report". He would still keep him in touch with Li Ru in the Dong camp, so he would not allow him to chatter and be sting at him here.

He looked up at the dark night, sighed quietly, and said softly:
Chapter completed!
