On the night when Murong Chui attacked and killed Fu Feilong, Xu Zongwen, regardless of the objections of Pei Qing and Xi Jian, took Zhang San and the 500 soldiers gathered and went straight to the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the governor's office?" The gate guard guarding the governor's office held a long gun and asked Xu Zongwen and Wu Yaya who had gathered together.
Xu Zongwen said without any nonsense, "Canglanglang!" He pulled out a long sword and pointed it at the Governor's Mansion: "Let me, the general, fight in. As long as you are wearing armor and holding a weapon, no one will be spared!"
Zhang San: "Do you want to kill Fu Lang, the governor of Qingzhou too?"
"Kill!" Xu Zongwen said angrily: "This pretentious and pretentious Di villain actually dares to tease me. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"No!" Zhang San got the order and led his soldiers to immediately kill a few trembling soldiers at the door, and then took advantage of the situation to attack the governor's mansion.
"Who are you?" The guards on night patrol heard the noise and rushed to stop them.
"The person who wants your life."
Zhang San recognized that the leader was the Qin soldier who was chasing him and Xu Zongwen that night. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and rushed forward, rushing into the crowd of guards. While everyone was in a daze, he chopped off the head of the stunned Qin soldier with one knife. Come down.
"Rebel, rebel!"
"Help!"
"Come quickly, a thief has entered the house."
…
The screams and cries in the governor's mansion were loud, and the fire lit up the entire governor's mansion. In an instant, there was chaos.
Xu Zongwen and his soldiers who were as fierce as tigers and wolves quickly cleared away the hundreds of guards in the Governor's Mansion. Just as he was about to go to the Crescent Lake in the backyard, Zhang San came over with Fu Lang, who was tied up like a pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. .
"I hope you are safe and well."
"Let him go."
Xu Zongwen walked forward with a smile. Fu Lang was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground. He was dragged all the way by Zhang San. There were already cries in the governor's mansion, and the dead bodies of guards were everywhere. After seeing the bloodstains, Fu Lang remembered the past and realized that Xu Zongwen was probably because he broke the promise, and even found out about the Qin envoy coming to Zi that made him so angry and led his troops to attack.
"General Xu, what are you doing?" Fu Lang was sweating profusely, and his bloated body was trapped more and more tightly. It was extremely uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to please Xu Zongwen with a smile.
Xu Zongwen took a baggage from a soldier behind him and threw it on the ground. The Qin envoy's head rolled out in time, and Fu Lang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down!
"General Xu, spare your life! It is true that King Qin has an order, I dare not disobey it!"
"Fu Lang, do you think it would be better for me to use your head to recruit the six counties of Qingzhou to surrender, or would it be better for you to take the initiative to help me regain Qingzhou?"
"General Xu, please tell me clearly if you have any orders, and I will definitely do my best for you!"
Fu Lang felt regretful in his heart, and thought to himself: Isn't it just Qingzhou? I'll give it. Isn't it okay if I give it? If I had known that Xu Xiao was a murderous lunatic, I wouldn't have hesitated...
"General, save someone under the sword!" When Xu Zongwen was about to put away the sword, Pei Qing suddenly ran over from behind.
Xu Zongwen turned around and saw Pei Qing and smiled: "Okay, I will spare your life for the sake of Mr. Auxiliary Machinery and Mr. Keeping the Promise."
Pei Qing and Fu Lang were relieved after hearing this, especially Fu Lang, who thought to himself: Xi Jian has indeed rebelled! I said why he keeps encouraging me to surrender, it turns out he is also Xu Xiao’s person!
Fu Lang raised his head and looked at Xu Zongwen who was walking away, and thought to himself: This man's heart is so deep and his intentions are so far-reaching that no one can match him!
After Fu Lang was captured alive, the dozens of surviving guards in the Governor's Mansion were as panicked as a bereaved dog. They dropped their helmets and armor and knelt aside. They had lost all their power and had no fighting power, waiting for Xu Zongwen's order to deal with it.
"General, shall we go back now?"
"If you can't live in such a big mansion, why go back?" Xu Zongwen ordered: "Take the remaining people over. Those who have thrown away their weapons and surrendered will all be imprisoned. No abuse is allowed. Everyone else in the mansion will be given to me. Come together, this general has something to say."
"No." Zhang San straightened up.
"General, why do you have to be so quick?" Pei Qing hurried over and said with a wry smile.
Xu Zongwen didn't care at all. He turned around and said calmly: "Since sir is here, we might as well go together."
"The general has your orders, so I dare not disobey him." Pei Qing shook his head. At this point, he could only take one step at a time.
Pei Qing never expected that Xu Zongwen would dare to break into the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion in Linzi City. If he hadn't run with all his life, he would have almost killed Fu Lang. He said he was cruel but not easy to kill. He only targeted people with The guards of the Governor's Mansion, who were very capable of fighting, said that he was reckless, but he knew how to calm people's hearts, and even summoned the people of the Governor's Mansion to lecture him.
In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, a group of men, women, old and young were gathered together. As Xu Zongwen's soldiers poured in, Xu Zongwen himself slowly walked towards the front of the crowd.
"Everyone! I am Xu Xiao, the cavalry general of the Jin Dynasty. I was ordered by the king to conquer the Qin Kingdom and regain my homeland. Most of you are sons and daughters of the Han family and have been enslaved by the barbarians for a long time. Now, I, Xu Xiao, have come to rescue you with my master Wang!"
"Are you really the Cavalry General Xu Xiao?" A bold middle-aged servant boldly stepped forward and asked.
Xu Zongwen laughed loudly: "A real man is born between heaven and earth. He will not change his name whether he is walking or sitting down. I am Xu Xiao. I am guaranteed to change my name."
An old servant stood up and said, "Are you the General of the Cavalry who recaptured Xuzhou?"
"Yes, I not only want to recover Xuzhou, but also Qingzhou, and one day I will also take back every inch of my homeland in the Central Plains that the Hu people have occupied for decades!" Xu Zongwen stood as straight as a cypress as he spoke. It is also full of energy and very loud!
"General! This little old man has lived in vain for these decades, but he can actually see the true appearance of Master Wang in his lifetime. He really has no regrets in dying!" A few tears slowly flowed from the corners of the old servant's crow's-feet eyes. , there was a cry in the words, and the voice gradually became choked.
Several thin men with sharp eyes also stood up and cupped their hands and said: "General, I admire your righteousness. If you are given an order, do you dare to disobey it?"
Xu Zongwen nodded secretly, these are all simple Han people, all miserable people who have been oppressed by the barbarians for two or three generations. I think there are many, many such people in the world.
"Okay, then please go down and clean the bloodstains in the house and restore the house to its original state."
"Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
The old servant from before said again: "But general, there are so many corpses, and we lack the strength. I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean them up for a while."
"Don't worry about this. The general will make arrangements. All you need to do is return the house to normal."
"I obey the general's military orders!" The old servant saluted, and everyone followed closely. It seemed that he was undoubtedly the old butler of the Governor's Mansion.
Xu Zongwen also bowed his head: "Thank you very much."
"Don't dare!"
After everyone dispersed, Xu Zongwen asked Zhang San to lead people to clean up the corpse, and he and Pei Qing sat down to discuss what to do next.
Xu Zongwen found a bench and invited Pei Qing to sit down with him. He said, "Fu Lang is in our hands, and the Taifu's handwriting copied by Mr. has been completed. We can easily force Fu Lang to submit and use his name to The governor's office held a banquet and summoned the governors of Qingzhou counties and generals to the banquet. During the banquet, Zhang San was ordered to suddenly attack and capture these people in one fell swoop. A great deal may be accomplished."
“The general’s strategy seems to be watertight, but in fact there are still several flaws.
"Pei Qing always lowered his eyes, and occasionally raised his eyes unnoticed, not knowing what he was thinking about. After listening silently for a long time, he suddenly spoke, his tone was unhurried and very calm.
"Sir, please don't hesitate to teach me!" Xu Zongwen asked for advice sincerely and sincerely.
Pei Qing nodded slightly, looked at the still dull night outside the lobby, and said methodically: "First, we have many enemies and we are outnumbered, and it is difficult to support us alone. Even if we control the county guards in various places, there are still so many Di troops stationed outside Linzi City, and We only have 500 people; secondly, the governors of the six counties of Qingzhou will arrive in Linzi in maybe three days at the earliest. Who can guarantee that what happened in the Governor's Mansion tonight will not be leaked? If someone discovers it, we will become turtles in the urn. This is in Qingzhou. The Qin army turned back with a thunderous attack. It was difficult for only 500 people to defend Linzi City, which was besieged internally and externally. Thirdly, attacking the city was the bottom priority, and attacking the heart was the top priority. No one can guarantee whether the civil and military forces in Qingzhou are sincerely surrendering. What if another attack occurs? It's like pretending to surrender to Fu Yang of Xuzhou, Chen Shouli, and the Chen brothers. After they return, they will raise a banner and continue to be our enemy. At that time, they will have to send troops to capture one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious."
"Please teach me, sir."
Pei Qing twisted his short beard under his chin, and a gleam of light bloomed in his eyes: "The general can take the Qin envoy's edict and lead the troops to gather in Linzi. At the same time, he can report the situation in Qingzhou back to Xuzhou, so that Zhu Envoy will be informed as early as possible." Make a plan. Once the Qingzhou soldiers leave each county, the entire Qingzhou will be like a treasure in the general's pocket. Our troops in Xuzhou can easily capture all the cities in Qingzhou. This is to steal a beam and replace a pillar."
Pei Qing paused and continued: "As for the Qin army concentrated outside Linzi City, wouldn't it be better if the general simply asked them to follow the King of Qin's order to rush to Chang'an to fight with Murong Chong, Murong Hong and the Xianbei people, and both sides would lose?"
"This is a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Xu Zongwen pursed his lips, looked at Pei Qing with deep eyes, and praised hurriedly: "Mr. Auxiliary Machine can be called the Zhang Liang of the world, Zhuge Kongming, what a brilliant plan, what a brilliant plan!"
"You don't dare to take this seriously. It's just a small trick. But speaking of Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming from Qingzhou is far away in the sky and right in front of you, general." Pei Qing also smiled slightly.
Xu Zongwen naturally understood what Pei Qing meant, so who else could Qingzhou Kongming be besides Xi Jian and Xi Shou?
Xi Jian has expressed his service to Xu Zongwen. With this counselor with the reputation of Qingzhou Kongming joining Xu Zongwen's camp, Xu Zongwen's strength has indeed increased a lot.
After all, Xu Zongwen had only Pei Qing by his side to make suggestions...
