Chapter 92: Secret Plot

"Prime Minister!" Xu Shu's personal servant came over, leaned into Xu Shu's ear, and said softly: "Prime Minister, they have found it, they are resting in the woods not far away. I am afraid they will find it, so I dare not approach and investigate again."

"They didn't move any abnormally!"

"No, since I entered the woods, I have not come out again. I must have rested there!"

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on it, we'll do it in the evening."

...

It was late at night and Zhang Hu leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.

As a soldier, Zhang Hu had long developed a habit of falling asleep by closing his eyes. Similarly, if there was a slight shout, Zhang Hu would be awakened.

Zhang Hu's guards were already tired, most of them had already rested, leaving only one person to watch at night, but this man did not dare to light the torch, just sat in the moonlight and kept looking around.

A bright moon hangs in the air. Under the faint moonlight, although it is not impossible to see your five fingers, the visual range is not very far.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." Several sounds suddenly broke the tranquility of the night sky, and several fire points suddenly fell from the sky.

Those were a few fire-burning arrows.

The arrows fell, and the sparks suddenly rose and lit up lights, illuminating the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, the arrows descended from the sky with the light of the stars and aimed at the soldiers who were watching the night watch.

"No, the enemy attacks! Oh..." He shouted, and then he was hit by an arrow.

Zhang Hu reacted immediately, got up from the ground, and at the same time drew weapons.

"Be careful! There are enemies!" Zhang Hu broke the attacking arrow with a knife, then rolled over and hid behind the big tree. As soon as Zhang Hu left, a few arrows were inserted into the position where Zhang Hu was just now.

"Ouch..." Another scream rang out, and Zhang Hu knew that another brother had fallen.

In the darkness, countless arrows flew from all directions, and Zhang Hu couldn't tell where the arrows were shot, let alone looking for those who shot archers.

"Where do you come from? You only dare to shoot cold arrows. You can come out and fight me. Don't hide your head and tail!" A soldier under Zhang Hu's command shouted.

However, the shouting revealed his position again. The arrow immediately shot towards the direction of the sound.

"Ouch!" A scream sounded, and it was obvious that the person who was born to scream was shot.

This time, no one dared to speak out again, quietly avoiding for fear of being discovered again. The arrows were just shot out tentatively.

"How could this happen!" Zhang Hu shouted inwardly.

The enemy suddenly appeared here and brought arrows, which was obviously prepared.

"Who is it?" Zhang Hu pulled out an arrow and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, this arrow is our arrow, it was shot from a sharp crossbow. This kind of crossbow is made by the army. How could this happen? Could it be that the one who shoots the arrow is his own?"

"This place is very close to the military camp. Could it be that it was sent from the Prime Minister's military camp?" Thinking of this, Zhang Hu suddenly shouted: "I am Zhang Hu, don't shoot arrows, I am Zhang Hu!"

"Stop!" The shouts sounded, and the arrows stopped immediately.

"What did you say just now? Say it again!" A voice came from afar.

"I am Zhang Hu, the Marquis of Jinyang. Stop shooting arrows!" Zhang Hu shouted.

"General Zhang Hu?"

"Not bad, it's me!"

"Lighting the torch!" The sound sounded, and the torch was immediately lit around him. Then, the people around him began to approach here.

Zhang Hu looked at the torch and saw that there were all Cao soldiers under the torch. Seeing this scene, Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm Zhang Hu!" Zhang Hu walked out carefully.

"Are you General Zhang Hu?" The leader took a torch to look ahead and saw Zhang Hu.

"Yes, I am Zhang Hu. Who are you?"

"I am under the command of the Prime Minister. I had reported to the spies of Han army in this dense forest, so we surrounded him."

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Zhang Hu, it's no point in saying that, may you bring a seal?" The visitor asked cautiously.

"Yes, please wait!" Zhang Hu took out his seal from his arms.

"Don't come over, just throw the seal! It's not that the last general is not the general, but it's just that the march is outside now, so it's better to be careful."

"I'm quite cautious." Zhang Hu threw the official seal over.

The visitor picked up the official seal from the ground, looked carefully, and then smiled.

"So it's really you... come here, shoot the arrow!"

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh..." The arrow tilted out like raindrops and rushed towards Zhang Hu.

"What?" Zhang Hu watched the arrow attack in surprise, but he had no time to hide.

"Ah!" Zhang Hu screamed, looked ahead unwillingly, and fell down.

"General!" The guards rushed up one after another.

"Kill them, no one will be left!"

...

In the tent, Xu Shu was still wiping his sword.

"The sword is still sharp, but things change... I think of how many heroes back then, how many are left now? A hundred years later, it is just this loess cultivation, but this sword can be sharp for thousands of years..."

"Prime Minister." The attendant walked in, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Xu Shu raised his head and asked, "How is the matter doing?"

"Prime Minister, when the matter is done, the man's head will be here. No one will be left behind."

"Well, I know, I'll deal with it well, and together with the forest, it will burn it, so don't leave any traces."

"Affect the order."

...

The raging fire ignited, and soon covered the entire woods. Under the night sky, the bright fire illuminated the nearby like daytime. Some panicked animals began to flee, and some animals were still burning with flames.

Xu Shu came outside the tent and looked at the bright red light in the distance, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes. Under such a big fire, people will definitely not be able to survive. When the fire is extinguished, everything will turn into dust.

...

Days passed day by day, and there was no news about reinforcements, which made Cao Zhen very anxious.

Calculate the time, even if something goes wrong with Xu Shu, Yingchuan’s Xiahou Ba should have some movement.

"Is it because Zhang Hu was in some trouble?" Cao Zhen's brows were already tightened into the word "chuan".

As time goes by, the food becomes less and less. If you wait any longer, Cao's army will probably have enough food.

"You can't wait any longer. No matter what, you have to fight as soon as possible." Cao Zhen took a deep breath, and then said, "Come on, beat the drum and raise the tent!"

...

Han army camp.

"Your Majesty, Cao Zhen sent an envoy, saying that he wanted to see Your Majesty."

"Emunited? Take it to the hall! Also, let the generals go and see what this Cao Zhen is going to do." A Dou said.

In the tent, Adou sat in the middle, with civil and military generals standing left and right.

A man dressed as a scholar was brought in, came to the tent, looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Adou.

"Bold, don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty!"

"I am Wei minister, you are the Han lord, why should I kneel down to you?" the waiter said proudly.

However, if the two countries are fighting each other, the envoy will not be killed, and the envoy will not kneel down, and Adou will not be able to use the envoy to attack the envoy.

"Okay, don't kneel down if you don't kneel!" Adou waved his hand and then asked, "Cao Zhen asked you to come, what's wrong?"

"I am here this time to issue a letter of war." The messenger said with neither humility nor arrogantness, and at the same time took out a brocade book from his arms and handed it on.

Zhang Yi presented the brocade to Adou. When Adou opened it, he saw that it was no different from ordinary war books. It was just a few aggressive words. Then he agreed on the time and place, and the two sides officially fought.

After reading it, Adou handed the letter of war to Zhuge Liang below. After reading it, Zhuge Liang handed it down one by one and let the soldiers pass it on.

The messenger patiently waited for everyone to finish reading, and then said, "I think you have finished reading it. I don't know if the Lord of Han dares to come out to fight."

Adou shook his head: "Go back and tell Cao Zhen that we won't fight."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the dignified Han Lord was actually a courageless person. He didn't dare to fight." The messenger snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression on his face, which made everyone feel very unhappy.

"Do I dare not fight? Your general Cao Zhen understands the most. Go back and tell Cao Zhen that if you want to leave, you will break through my camp first." A strange smile appeared on A Dou's face.

...

Cao's army camp.

Cao Zhen looked at the messenger who returned with a blue face.
