Chapter 60 Beauty Trap, Receive Huang Zhong's Heart
When Huang Xu returned to Huang Zhong's camp, the next step was how to find a suitable woman to set up a trap for his father. This was a private matter, and Wei Shi did not ask in detail.
He believed that Huang Xu, who longed to be freed from Huang's mother's birth, would be able to do this.
Huang Zhong took a concubine. This was originally a family matter belonging to the Huang family, so it didn't matter.
However, Wei Shi had long heard that Kuai Qi was not broad-minded enough. If he heard that Huang Xu had an old relationship with him, and then Huang Zhong suddenly took a concubine, he would definitely be suspicious.
Once there is discord within Fangling's army, this will give Wei Shi an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
Such a strategy is really not feasible, but Wei Shi doesn't care whether it is feasible or not, as long as it works well, he will give it a try.
"The governor's centrifugal plan has left no trace, which really makes Gui admire him."
Lou Gui, who came from Junshan, couldn't help clasping his hands and cheering loudly after hearing Wei Shi's plan.
Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.
Others could not see through Wei Shi's true intentions. Lou Gui was already very familiar with Wei Shi's personality and knew that this cheap disciple was an unusual person and his acting style was very much like Cao Cao's unscrupulous approach.
After a few days, Huang Xu indeed sent news that Huang Zhong had married Zhang, the daughter of Zhang Xian, the former governor of Changsha, and they were now living together in the army, living happily together.
During the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Xian was persuaded by Huan Jie, a famous scholar in the county, to support Cao Cao, and gathered the power of the four counties in Jingnan to fight against Liu Biao's army.
The two sides fought fiercely in the Changsha area. It was not until Zhang Xian died of illness that Liu Biao pacified Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. Huang Zhong, then the lieutenant general of Liu Pan's army, led his army to attack Changsha City, and Zhang was captured by him.
.
According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, captured enemy family members were often used as slaves, and the Zhang family was no exception.
In the past two years, Huang Zhong was stationed in You County near Changsha and took great care of the Zhang family. There had long been a secret love between the two, but because Huang's mother was jealous, the Zhang family was not accepted.
This time, Huang Xu was the matchmaker and secretly sent Zhang to Huang Zhong's sleeping quarters.
The two of them were originally in love with each other, and when there was no one in the tent, everything fell into place.
Huang Xu was worried and eavesdropped outside his sleeping tent for half the night. He didn't feel relieved until there was no more noise from inside, and then he felt relieved and rested. Early the next morning, Huang Xu sent his confidants to deliver a message to Wei Shi.
All done.
Huang Xu expressed his wish, he only hoped that Huang Zhong and Zhang would give birth to a younger brother for him, and then he would be free.
"Master Lou, the next step is to spread news in Fangling and make Kuai Qi suspicious. It depends on your connections?" Wei Shi was also happy when he heard Huang Xu's reply.
The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.
Wei Shi had already seen clearly this troubled world.
As long as he takes Fangling in the end, he is the winner. As for how the process goes, how many people will care.
"Haha, I, Uncle Lou Zibo, dare not say yes when I go into battle to kill the enemy. With my sharp tongue, no one in Fengling County can beat me?" Lou Gui laughed, full of confidence.
Once Wei Shi defeated Kuai Qi, he would become a small prince in Jingzhou.
At that time, Lou Gui, as Wei Shi's mentor, will also have great honor.
——
In Fangling City, the Prefect's Mansion.
Kuai Qi was horrified when he learned that it was Wei Shi who suggested that Huang Zhong take a concubine.
During this time, he had a dispute with Zhuge Lan. The relationship between the couple was not harmonious, and he was in a irritable mood. Now he heard rumors that Wei Shi, Huang Zhong, and Huang Xu were connected, and his suspicions became a little more intense.
"Wang Xian, you have been defecting to me, Fangling, for some time. Today, the Japanese governor has important matters to handle. Please take my order and go to General Huang Zhonglang's camp to supervise the army. If you find any unusual clues, report back immediately."
After Kuai Qi thought hard, he called the fish king Xian who had slipped through the net in the battle of Xinye to take care of him.
"Don't worry, Grandmaster, Xian will live up to his trust." Wang Xian said with fierce eyes and clasped fists.
When he said this, there were still scars on his face, and the wounds involved were very painful.
Xiahou Lan and Hou Cheng were defeated by Wei Shi in Xinye. Wang Xian was really good at escaping. After seeing signs of defeat, he put on ordinary people's clothes and fled.
Wei Shi had few soldiers, so he could only focus on sealing the north.
However, the direction Wang Xian chose to escape was to head south, taking the Han River to Xiangyang.
When he arrived at Fancheng on the bank of the Han River, Wang Xian did not cross the river into Xiangyang, but ran upstream to Fangling and hid in the Shangyong area.
There are mountains all around Fangling. Wang Xianqian was born in this place. Whenever he hid here, he would be lost in the sea.
This time, if Kuai Qi had not issued a recruitment order to deal with Wei Shi, the new prefect, Wang Xian would not have volunteered and showed up.
When Huang Zhong accepted Mr. Zhang, he felt as happy as an old tree blooming.
Even when he went into battle to fight Wei Yan, his spirits were much higher.
At this time, he didn't know that he had fallen into Wei Shi's scheme and Kuai Qi's suspicion.
Huang Zhong won several battles in a row, and the morale of Fangling's army was high. At this moment, Wang Xian suddenly arrived. As soon as he arrived at the camp, the former king, a mountain bandit, couldn't help but ordered his trusted soldiers to arrest Huang Xu.
According to Wang Xian's opinion, as long as Huang Xu confesses to having an affair with Wei Shi, it will be strong evidence of guilt.
Next, he could use this evidence to blackmail Huang Zhong and his son, and then seize the military power of the Fangling Army in one fell swoop.
Wang Xian thought very well.
But he didn't expect that although Huang Zhong was a good man, he was not a coward that anyone could handle.
After receiving the news that Huang Xu had been arrested, Huang Zhong was so angry that he led his soldiers to block Wang Xian's tent. Then Huang Zhong opened the curtain and entered the tent, killing Wang Xian with a knife.
"General Huang Zhonglang, you dare to kill me? Prefect Kuai will not let you go." Before Wang Xian died, he still wanted to escape.
"puff!"
Huang Zhong had a strong temper, so he cut Wang Xian's neck without any explanation.
Blood splattered everywhere.
This time, Wang Xian could not escape.
His head was carried by Huang Zhong and hung directly on the flagpole at the entrance of the camp.
Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and his son killed Wang Xian, thus offending Kuai Qi. After some discussion, Huang Xu finally came forward to negotiate with Wei Shi on the terms of the strike.
"Prefect Wei, Mr. Huang and his son were forced by villains, so they had no choice but to do this. I will ask Mr. Liu Pan to clarify this matter after it returns to Changsha County."
"Xu'er intends to stay in Fangling. He also hopes that the Wei prefect will take note of his past friendship and treat him kindly. Huang will definitely not let him down in the future."
When Huang Zhong made way for the passage of Danshui, he said goodbye to Wei Shi.
Next, Huang Zhong planned to take the soldiers and horses of You County back to Changsha and continue to defect to Liu Pan.
Wei Shi had no choice but to face Huang Zhong's stubborn ideas. He was still the nominal governor of Fangling, and the conditions he could offer Huang Zhong were indeed not as good as those of Liu Biao.
In addition, Wei Shi also heard that Huang Zhong looked down on him, maybe because he felt that Wei Shi's status was not high, or maybe he had noticed the secret behind the alienation plan.
Fortunately, after this incident, Huang Xu agreed to stay in Wei Shi's army as a rafter officer.
Huang Xu also revealed to Wei Shi that his father Huang Zhong had privately promised that if there were changes in Jingzhou in the future and Liu Biao died of illness, he would be willing to take his generals and defect to Wei Shi's command.
There is ample time.
Since Huang Zhong has a loyal heart, Wei Shi takes a higher look at him. Good generals are rare and he has the patience to wait.
