Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 543 Huang Zu's Niece Ah Chou

Leaving Gan Ning waiting outside, Su Fei followed Zhao Yun, Zhang Sui and others to a private house.

Huang Zu and Zhao Yun sat together.

Zhang Sui, Li Ru, Chen Dao and others stood aside.

Huang Zu poured Zhao Yun a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Captain Zhao, you look so majestic!"

Zhao Yun nodded.

Huang Zu made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Yun, and then said: "I wonder why Captain Zhao is looking for me this time--"

Li Ru bowed.

Zhao Yun said, "Mr. Li, the military advisor of Xuzhou."

Huang Zu quickly returned the greeting and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Li Ru then patted his bulging belly gently and said with a smile, "It's like this, County Magistrate Huang."

"When we took over Xuzhou, we received an order from our lord saying that Hebei and Jingzhou were in an alliance."

"Cao Cao and Sun Ce are both our enemies."

"Now that Sun Ce is attacking with such force, we in Hebei cannot just stand by and watch."

"Sun Ce and Jingzhou have a paternal vengeance."

"We also have a grudge against Guangling for massacring the city."

"We didn't take part in the previous battle for Chaisang County because—"

Li Ru glanced at Su Fei and said, "We have more or less understood some of the conflicts in Jingzhou."

"Our lord said that in Jingzhou, the relationship between the governor of Jingzhou and the five great clans is equally important."

"We have no intention of offending any party."

Huang Zu felt very pleased when he heard what Li Ru said.

Yuan Shao, as expected of a descendant of three nobles in four generations, is a very good person.

I recently heard about major changes in Hebei, and I was somewhat worried before.

Now it seems that it should be fake.

Otherwise, how could Hebei have the leisure to send people from Lujiang?

Huang Zu smiled and said to Li Ru and Zhao Yun: "I am very grateful for the general's kindness."

Li Ru continued, "However, now that Chaisang County has been lost, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong have fled, and Sun Ce's army is at the gates of the city, we cannot fail to support them."

"After all, we are an alliance."

"If Jiangxia loses, then Hebei will lose."

Huang Zu nodded.

Li Ru then looked at Zhao Yun and said, "So, we, Captain Zhao, have decided to support you without reservation."

"We don't need any compensation from County Magistrate Huang."

"Just a few small requests."

Huang Zu smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are too polite."

"The general is so polite, how can I not understand the situation?"

"If you have any requests, just tell me."

“We try to accommodate as much as possible.”

Li Ru glanced at Zhang Sui and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shao's reputation is useful after all.

He had previously worried that Huang Zu had heard the news of Yuan Shao's murder and would be unwilling to recognize the alliance.

Now it seems fortunate that the news of Yuan Shao's death has not yet arrived.

That's easy to handle.

Li Ru repeated the plan he had discussed with Tian Feng and Chen Gong to deal with Sun Ce and said, "In short, you don't have to use all your strength this time."

"We only need to hold out for half an hour against Sun Ce's army at Xiakou Harbor before they flee in panic."

"Escape towards Xiling City."

"No need to pretend to prevent the enemy from seeing the clues."

"We from Hebei have sent 10,000 soldiers to ambush between Xiakou and Xiling City."

"If we are lucky enough to kill Sun Ce, the credit will go to County Magistrate Huang."

"If we fail, our Zhao Duwei will rush to Xiangyang in person and take the initiative to take responsibility to Jingzhou Mu."

Huang Zu was overjoyed.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of Sun Ce.

After all, Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, died at his hands, and Sun Ce's bravery was no less than that of his father, Sun Jian.

And Huang Zu himself was old.

He knew that he was no match for Sun Ce.

My own son is definitely not that kind of person.

When Sun Ce attacked Chaisang County before, he couldn't help but want to cross the river to help Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

But in the end, he still endured it.

To him, both the Jingzhou Mu and Sun Ce were strong rivals.

Especially when he met Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, he was quite wary.

Over the years, he and the other four powerful families in Jingzhou have been constantly suppressing Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou.

Especially recently, Huo Du, a general under Liu Biao, was killed by Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha County, under the design of the five major families.

The generals under Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, had long hated the five major families.

If Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, really rose up, the consequences for the five major families would be disastrous.

Therefore, he would rather Sun Ce attacked and he fled in panic than allow Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, to gain power.

However, I didn’t expect that at this time, Hebei would take the initiative to come to our rescue.

Moreover, they are willing to take the initiative to take responsibility for failure.

Huang Zu held up his beard and smiled, "Mr. Li and Captain Zhao are too polite."

"We are an alliance, just like brothers. How can we be so distant?"

"If we can really kill Sun Ce, we can share the credit together."

"It's just that I like everything to be clear."

"Brothers, let's settle accounts clearly!"

"Well, let me draft your request."

"In the future, when you kill Sun Ce, I can claim credit for you from the governor of Jingzhou."

Zhang Sui looked at Huang Zu's hypocritical appearance and sneered secretly.

One day in the future, when we take over Jingzhou, we will kill this old man sooner or later!

He clearly does not dare to take responsibility and wants to put the blame for possible failure on himself, but he makes it sound so.

If you didn't want to kill Sun Ce, who would give you this opportunity today?
Li Ru looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui nodded slightly.

Li Ru smiled at Huang Zu and said, "That's fine."

"County Magistrate Huang, you are too polite after all."

Zhao Yun also said: "Then quickly draft it and stamp it, and I will start deploying the troops right away."

Huang Zu responded and immediately asked someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Just prepare to write it down.

But a female voice came from outside and asked, "Uncle?"

Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to the outside: "A Chou, I have something else to do, I will see you later."

The female voice continued: "Uncle, I have made a sharp weapon that can help the army to kill the enemy."

Huang Zu sighed and smiled at Zhao Yun, "Captain Zhao, this person outside is my niece, her nickname is Ah Chou."

"This child likes to delve into strange and cunning things."

"This time, she came here with her father and my brother."

"The father and daughter saw that Sun Ce was about to attack, so they thought about making a defensive weapon day and night."

"Well, I'll go out for a while and talk to her, and then I'll come back later--"

Zhao Yun was about to agree.

Zhang Sui said hurriedly: "What a heroine! Why don't we let her in and hear what kind of weapon she has made? We are all rough and crude, we don't have the brains, but we admire talents!"

Huang Zu looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously.

Zhao Yun said, "This is my brother. If possible, County Magistrate Huang can invite this girl in."

Huang Zu glanced at Zhang Sui, smiled, and then said to the outside: "A Chou, come in!"

A figure wearing a yellow long skirt and a veil walked in slowly.

Her hair fell behind her head like a waterfall.

However, unlike the black hair of others, her long hair was golden, like gold.

Behind the veil, her eyes were emerald green, like a deep pool.
