Chapter 1323

Bai Xiaowen just looked at the terrain and didn't urge the army to attack the pass. He lived in peace for two days.

Zhang Wei and Yang Ren lost Yangping pass and went back to Nanzheng to see Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu asked, "you said Yangping pass was dangerous in Hanzhong. Why did you lose it in less than ten days?"

Zhang Wei said: "this time it was because Yang ang and Yang Ren lost the pass and there was no danger to defend Yangping pass, so they had to retreat."

Zhang Lu, who was full of capitulationism, said, "Yan's public soldiers are like gods. How can our army resist? We should surrender first."

Zhang Wei still refused: "Nanzheng city has been operating for 20 years, the city is high and the walls are thick, and the grain and grass reserves can be used for 10 years. Why surrender? Maybe the world will change in a few months, and Yuan Xi's army will have to retreat."

Zhang Wei pointed out that Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the South have not been settled yet. If sun and Liu go north to Wancheng and Hefei, Bai Xiaowen can't fight on the two lines and must return.

Zhang Lu was persuaded again and agreed to stick to Nanzheng.

Zhang Wei added: "according to Yang Ren, Yuan Xi is well versed in Taoism and seems to have a method of bewitching. He can control a soldier for his use, such as stealing a door, setting fire, assassination, and so on. My brother can't help but guard against such strange Taoism."

Zhang Lu said, "this is a charm to confuse the mind. It comes from the same source as Zhang Jiao's magic. As long as you supervise the sergeant to drink the water I prepared, you can resist Yuan Xi's power."

Bai Xiaowen led the army to Nanzheng city. He saw the strong city and set up camp.

Bai Xiaowen gathered the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

Time: gather before the drum rings.

Location: Zhang Xiu camp.

People: Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu.

The little theater began.

Seeing Jia Xu busy writing and painting, Zhang Xiu asked, "Sir, do you still have leisure to write here?"

Jia Xu said with a smile, "it's not just a letter. It's my step forward."

"What does that mean, sir?"

Jia Xu said, "Nanzheng is the capital of Hanzhong. Zhang Lu has been running for many years and built an iron bucket city. Duke Yan urged the army to attack and eventually conquer it, but it will inevitably take a long time to affect the plan to capture Xichuan in the next step."

Zhang Xiu nodded: "then?"

Jia Xu said with a smile, "that's you, general. I don't tell ordinary people. Please come with your ears."

Zhang Xiu came together.

Jia Xu whispered, "do you know there is a man named Yang Song in Nanzheng city who is greedy for money and profit, has no integrity and is the easiest to buy? The most important thing is that Zhang Lu has an eye for loyalty and traitors. Yang Song is in a high position in the Han Dynasty. If so, he will break the city."

Zhang Xiu said, "with this good plan, why not offer it to Yan Gong?"

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xiu understood and said helplessly, "don't make the mistake of last time, sir."

Jia Xu smiled: "I'm sure Duke Yan didn't think of this. It's not determined by intelligence, but by experience. Duke Yan is only in his twenties and doesn't know people from all over the world. Even if he is a genius and doesn't know Yang Song's character, it's hard to come up with this psychological trick to buy off his insiders. I don't need to wait long. As long as Duke Yan runs into a wall in Nanzheng City, I'll come forward with some suggestions 。”

Zhang Xiu said admiringly, "Sir, you are really smart."

Subsequently, Zhang Xiu followed the drum sound of Jujiang drum and came to Bai Xiaowen's camp.

Bai Xiaowen asked the generals if there was a good plan to break the city. All the generals bowed their heads and said nothing.

Bai Xiaowen said, "it's not difficult to break Nanzheng. Even the strongest city can be broken from the inside."

Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiu asked, "do you want to use the previous method again?" they all thought of the strange night fire in the pass camp of Yangping pass.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "the same method can't be used again. I'm going to buy one person from Nanzheng city for my use... Hmm? General Zhang Xiu, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Xiu coughed loudly and her face turned red: "no, nothing. She was choked by saliva."
