Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

That day, Zhang Liao was not discouraged after the unsuccessful attack on Jieting City. He launched several fierce attacks on the city for several consecutive days.

However, the indestructible city wall still stood firm without any sway.

At the same time.

The subsequent reinforcements of the Han army surged in like a tide and surrounded the small city.

The Han army had more than 150,000 soldiers.

150,000 soldiers were an absolute advantage over the defenders.

However, Jieting City was like a copper wall and iron wall, making Huang Zhong and other generals helpless despite repeated attacks.

It was afternoon.

Liu Bei led his elite cavalry and finally arrived at the siege camp.

Zhang Liao and other "040" generals heard the news and went out of the camp to greet them.

Inside the imperial tent, Liu Bei sat down, and Zhang Liao and others were busy toasting him.

After a few cups of warm wine, the fatigue and coldness from the days of traveling were dispelled.

When Liu Bei was drunk, he slowly spoke:

"Wenyuan, you have been besieging Jieting for several days. How is the battle going?"

The generals looked at each other, unable to hide their embarrassment and self-blame.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and reported:

"Your Majesty, the defense of Jieting is beyond imagination!"

"Although we have tried our best, we still cannot break its defense."

Liu Bei frowned slightly and said in surprise:

"It's just a small city, and the city wall can withstand the power of our Xiangyang cannon?"

Liao Hua took over the conversation and sighed:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Ma Chao actually used the cold weather in Liangzhou to freeze the city wall and make it as solid as a rock."

"In this way, even our Xiangyang cannon can hardly shake it."

"That's why we are helpless and can only wait for Your Majesty to come and make a judgment."

"Freeze the walls of Jieting?"

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and he looked at Deng Mu differently.

Deng Mu sneered and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this must be Yang Fu's plan."

Liu Bei suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire:

"I didn't expect that Cao Cao had such a genius besides Jia Xu and Sima Yi."

Liu Bei's admiration also revealed his appreciation for Yang Fu's talent.

At this time.

Deng Mu bowed to Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty, it seems that Jieting is difficult to break through by force. It's time to use Ma Xiu."

Liu Bei understood and waved his hand:

"Send the order to summon Ma Xiu to the emperor's tent."

Zhang Liao hurriedly ordered his men to invite Ma Xiu to come and see him.

Soon, the curtain opened slightly, and Ma Xiu walked into the big tent.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Ma Xiu immediately bowed and saluted:

"Your Ma Xiu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that Ma Xiu did not need to be polite, and offered him a seat and wine.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Bei changed the subject and said softly:

"Besides you, I really want to have a drink with your brother Ma Chao and talk about the affairs of the world."

Ma Xiu immediately heard the secret from Liu Bei's sigh.

So he was secretly happy and hurriedly bowed:

"Your Majesty, I ask for your permission to go to Jieting City and persuade my brother to surrender the city."

Liu Bei was waiting for his words. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

So he happily waved his hand and said with a smile:

"If your brother can surrender, it would be the best."

"You can go ahead. I have prepared good wine here and wait for your brother to come and drink with me."

So.

Ma Xiu took the mission in mind, said goodbye immediately, and rode his horse and whipped it, heading straight for Jieting City covered with ice and snow.

…

Inside Jieting City.

Ma Chao and Yang Fu were sitting around the stove, drinking wine and talking about Taoism.

Ma Chao raised his cup to drink, but put it down again, and asked Yang Fu with a little worry:

"Tai Shou Yang, these few days have passed. If Your Majesty has already conquered Yuncheng, the Han army should have withdrawn. Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

Yang Fu smiled slightly and said confidently:

"General, please be patient. I think Your Majesty has already conquered Yuncheng. If the news reaches Jieting, it will only take a few days. 0..."

"Within two days, the Han army outside the city will be in disarray."

Ma Chao felt relieved and was about to raise his cup to drink, but his personal soldiers reported urgently:

"General, the two generals have arrived outside the city and request to enter the city to meet."[]

As soon as these words came out,

The wine glass in Ma Chao's hand shook, and the wine almost spilled out, his face full of disbelief.

Outside Jieting City, the Han army was heavily besieged. How could Ma Xiu pass through the heavy defense lines and reach the city?

More importantly, in the battle of Fufeng, his brother did not die!

This is really a pleasant surprise.

Yang Fu frowned, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

Ma Chao stood up suddenly and asked sternly: "Is the person coming really my second brother?"

"I will never admit my mistake, it is indeed the second general."

The personal soldier answered with certainty.

Ma Chao thought for a moment and waved his hand:

"In this case, why not let him into the city quickly and let him come to see me 0.3."

The personal soldier took the order and left.

The hall was silent for a while.

Ma Chao had mixed emotions. He hoped that his second brother was safe and sound, but he was also suspicious of his sudden appearance.

Yang Fu thought to himself, frowning. The ominous premonition in his heart was getting stronger at this moment.

Soon.

Footsteps sounded again, and Ma Xiu walked into the hall.

Ma Chao looked at his living brother, stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise and joy, and he was stunned in place, forgetting words for a moment.

"My foolish brother greets my elder brother!"

With tears in his eyes, Ma Xiu took a step forward and knelt at Ma Chao's feet. .
