Chapter 26, the inside should be combined

Kuian's question is also Zhou Zhi's concern.

He sighed slowly, his expression gradually became solemn, paused slightly, and finally said the last thing he wanted to happen: "It seems that there is a ghost in the city."

Kuian and Zuling looked at each other, and their faces changed to varying degrees, but they were not so obvious.

Zuling said solemnly: "The adult's speculation is not unusual. Looking at the means of playing with the rebels and the yellow scarf thieves to attack the city, there are often the current arrangements to lurk in the city. Earlier, we also used this method in Xu Wu and Liaoxi County. Among other things, even the attack on the former Taishou Mansion was installed in advance. This time, I'm afraid it's the same old technique.

Kui'an nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it must be so."

Zhou Zhi was lost in thought. He originally wanted to ask Zuling, Kui'an and Zu Zhao in Yunli Township what their next plan was after killing Zhang Wan. But even if he knows the plan now, if the insider can't take care of it clearly, it's not so easy to follow the plan.

At this time, Zuling said again, "Anyway, you must find out the mole."

Kuian nodded again, but he didn't know how to do it.

The anxiety and depression on Zhou Zhi's face are getting more and more serious, and his thoughts are becoming more and more entangled.

The three sat silently for a while, and they didn't know how long it took until the sound of people and horses gradually came from the distance, which were the righteous braves who chased and defeated the fugitives and bandits returned one after another. At this time, the sky already showed thick signs. Although everything was still so dark, it was enough to make people feel that dawn was coming.

Zuling suddenly said, "Otherwise, you can do it."

Zhou Zhi and Kui'an looked at Zuling together. Zhou Zhi asked, "How to make a plan?"

Zuring said, "I will go to the county with Lord Zhou. After arriving in the city, we will spread a lot of false news and deliberately attract the thieves outside the city. At that time, we can not only fight back together, but also facilitate us to defeat the thieves together. It's really killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou Zhi nodded slowly: "This plan is feasible. Whether it succeeds or not, it can also make the thieves unable to distinguish our real plan. No matter how bad it is, it will be strictly guarded everywhere, and maybe it will be able to lead the snake out of the hole and eradicate this inner ghost.

Zu Ling echoed and said, "Well, that's it."

At dawn, Zhou Zhi, Zuling, Kui'an and others were generally finished. Nearly 80 of the 400 cavalry brought by Zhou Zhi were killed, and more were wounded, and the county north Yiyong brought by Zuling and Kuian was much better. Everyone helped each other and returned the same way with the wounded. As for the captured thieves, they were also escorted back first. The grain and grass in the county is a big problem. Captives are also counted as a population. Bringing them back will inevitably increase the burden, but naturally, they cannot be released on the spot or kill them all. You can only stay in the city before making plans.

The news of Zhou Zhi's return to the city soon spread to the county. Liu Cheng was furious when he heard the news and thought that Zhou Zhi was joking himself. However, after the person notified stated the matter clearly, Liu Cheng calmed down and was greatly relieved that Yiyong of the county was able to enter the city. Of course, when Zhou Zhi, Zuling and Kui'an came to the Taishou Mansion to meet Liu Cheng and told the thief chief Zhang Wan that he had been killed in Xiyang County three days ago, Liu Cheng was even more happy.

At noon that day, Liu Cheng issued a notice in the city to tell the good news that the thief chief had been killed, while feasting up to entertain Zuling, Kuian and more than 400 righteous people who entered the city. Although Zhao Yu, the county magistrate, repeatedly persuaded him that at this moment, the original grain and fodder in the city were not good enough, so he should save money and open source, and should not be wasted casually. However, Liu Cheng insisted that since Zhang Wan, the thief chief, is dead, and there is no need to worry too much about breaking the thief. What's more, the top priority also needs to boost morale.

After the banquet, Zhou Zhi arranged Zuling, Kui'an and others to go to the personal house to discuss the specific plan of the thief. Naturally, it was inevitable to invite Wen Chou, Zhao Yu and other relevant bureaucrats of the county government to be present. In order to beware of the eyes and ears, Zhou Zhi made a thorough arrangement. Not only were the left and right, but also the idle people were not allowed to approach easily.

Early the next morning, Zhou Zhi quickly released the news, claiming that he would gather the whole city's troops within two days, launch an attack by the south gate, cooperate with the county north righteous bravery outside the city, tearing a gap in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the victory to break the thief. In order to make the fake news look real, he even mobilized troops from various barracks in the city to gather in Nancheng. Throughout the day, you can see the soldiers going south in the streets and alleys, and even military food, equipment and other materials are also dispatched to the south city.

That night, Xu Wuyiyong scouts outside the city detected the changes of the Yellow Turban Army in the besieged city.

Yunli Township is located in the northeast of Pinggang County. It is agreed to launch a general attack from the northeast in the evening of the next day to break through the defense line here. The reason why Zu Zhao chose this direction is that it is close to the endless, but after continuous exploration and observation, he found that most of the food and grass of the yellow scarf thief were almost gathered here.

Although he has successfully killed Zhang Wan, which has shaken the morale and confidence of the besieged thieves to a certain extent, the problem is that there is still a certain difference between the yellow scarf thief and Zhang Wan rebels. Without Zhang Wan, the thief chieftain, Zong Hai, Deng Mao, Yu Hu and others naturally took over Zhang Wan's more than 4,000 horses, and strategically It's more unified. What's more, the biggest weakness of the yellow scarf thief is the lack of military equipment, and Zhang Wan's people are very thorough in this regard, and their strength will naturally increase greatly after the combination of one.

The army of the county is very limited, and there are only more than 1,000 people in the north of the county.

Even if this sneak attack is successful, in the face of twice as many thieves as your own side, the next battle will still suffer some losses.

If you want to give the most deadly trauma to the yellow scarf thief, you still have to fight a psychological war. As long as the food and fodder of the yellow scarf thief can be broken, no matter how much the thief is, it will be a burden. It is even very likely to trigger the split between Zhang Wan's old department and the Yellow Turban Army, and then there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In return to Zu Zhao's scouts, the yellow scarf army in the northeast has transferred two men one after another, as if they were heading south. But the exact place to go will not be known for a while. Now the yellow scarf army left outside the northeast city totaled less than 1,000 people, which was nothing more than lighting torches and many tree flags to deceive in order to hide the defenders in the city.

Zuzu Zhao believes that Zuling, Kui'an and others must have entered the city, and it is precisely because of this that the yellow scarf thief can be mobilized. It is not difficult to guess that he was going to attack from the northeast, but the withdrawal of most of the yellow scarf army in the northeast the day before the attack must have been deliberately tricked in the city to earn these thieves.

This is a good thing, and the victory of tomorrow's attack is better.

At midnight, an alley in the west city of Pinggang County.

A sneaky figure passed by quietly, and an elongated figure appeared on the wall of the alley.

I saw that the person was very thin, walking lightly, and there was a habitual cat walking. After a roundabout, he walked out of this alley and entered another alley next door. From time to time, he looked back. Fang Fo was worried that someone was following him.

It fell and fluctuated all the way, but the good thing was safe and sound. He pushed open the door of his yard and quickly walked to the front door of the main house, with a happy smile on his face. He is very happy to successfully convey an important message to the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. He is still thinking about what kind of reward he will receive after the capture of the county government. Maybe he can get 100 stones of grain and grass and gold, and these outsiders must not be familiar with the situation of the county government, and may even commission Send yourself to a position as an official.

Immersed in a beautiful fantasy, he reached out and opened the door and decided to have a good time with his mother-in-law tonight, so that her mother-in-law knew that she was capable.

There was no light in the room, and it was quiet. He called softly, "Cui'er, get up and shine the light. I'll drink some wine tonight, and then treat you well in **, hey..."

There was still no movement in the room. He suddenly stopped laughing and felt that something was wrong.

Just as I was about to turn around and exit the door, suddenly, the fire folds were polished in the dark, and a lamp instantly lit up around.

In amazed, the room was already full of officials dressed in soap and holding bright long knives.

The county lieutenant of Pinggang County strode forward and scolded viciously, "Well, you Zhang Laizi. I usually thought you were courteous to serve tea and water on the tower, but I didn't expect that you had three dirty colluds with the thieves. Today, I arrested you and will ask for justice for those soldiers killed by you.

Zhang Laizi's face was extremely pale. He wanted to turn around and escape, but although the city is large, it has been besieged for more than ten days. Where can he escape? His legs trembled and suddenly fell to the ground. His voice defense was weak: "Your excellency, my excellency, where is the small... where is the small... how can the small injustice..."

The county lieutenant was too lazy to defend Zhang Laizi and ordered left and right: "Take him and take him back to prison for torture to see if there are any other colleagues. Humph, Zhang Laizi, I can tell you that you'd better be hard on it so that I can deal with you for a long time. Let's see if I don't skin you alive."

He rushed up left and right, grabbed Zhang Laizi and dragged him out.
