Above Xiaoguan.

The characters "Zhang" flags fly in the wind and make a sound. The armor and soldiers are so powerful that they swallow thousands of miles of awe.

Zhang Xiu kept holding his troops here, waiting for news from all directions to gather.

On this morning, the setting sun was cold.

In the Guan Lingfu study room, Zhang Xiu gently put down [Han Feizi] in his hand and asked the person who came to report to invite Zhuge Jin in.

"Ming Gong." Not long after, Zhuge Jin walked in from outside in a hurry and saluted Zhang Xiu.

"Tiyu. Ma Teng has a reply?" Zhang Xiu smiled and asked Zhuge Jin to sit down first, then asked.

"There is a battle." Zhuge Jin bowed and said with a serious face.

"As I expected, a letter would not be enough to shake Ma Teng and Yang Fu." Zhang Xiu laughed, and then he asked Zhuge Jin to go down and rest for a while.

After Zhuge Jin came back, Zhang Xiu still kept his troops in motion. He was like a dragon standing up, listening to the movements and eyes watching the storm in all directions.

The news from all parties was also summarized. Guo Si was huddled in Lieliu City and did not leave, so Zhao Yun could only hold his troops and remained unmoved.

Pang De, Hu Cheer, Li Li and others each advanced to confront more than 100,000 Ma Teng's army.

Yan Xingxi attacked Nan'an County and Longxi County.

Han Sui, indeed, personally led 50,000 horse and infantry troops south to support Ma Teng.

Yan Xing and others also played an important role in this battle, but the one that really made the final decision was actually the Battle of Jicheng.

As long as Ma Teng's main force is eliminated, Ma Teng can only be Ma Shu Vine.

If Ma Teng's main force cannot be eliminated, the territory he occupied must be spit out.

That morning, in the study, Zhang Xiu waved his hand and asked the messenger sent by Yan Xing to go down.

"Jiang Jiong?!!!" Zhang Xiu pinched his chin and looked strange on his face. This person was not famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and was even unknown.

But this person was able to fight Yan Xing, almost equally matched, and he was really powerful.

There is only one reason.

This person's son is very famous, named Jiang Wei.

As the saying goes, "A general's tiger son". Jiang Wei's father has good marksmanship after all, and he is also very brave.

It’s a pity that according to historical records, Jiang Wei has not been born yet. Now history is beyond recognition and the butterfly effect has been incited.

Jiang Wei didn't know if she could still give birth.

Why.

Tianshui Qilinsen.

As long as you collect Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, the two three kingdoms, you will have no worries about food and clothing. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I can get it all.

Zhang Xiu shook his head gently, thinking too far. After thinking for a while, he personally picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and then asked the messenger to send it to Yan Xing with a quick horse.

Yan Xing was careful and cautious about this incident and deserves praise. If it were Hua Xiong, he would have been killed by Jiang Jiong.

This is the situation in Longyou. The time has come to be finalized.

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed and then he attracted Dian Wei and ordered: "Brother, send orders to you. I will make dinner at the third day of tomorrow and set off. The soldiers will set out on the Jieting."

"No." Dian Wei was excited and responded with a loud bang.

This was an important battle, and for Zhang Xiu, it was to annex the Longyou counties and eliminate Ma Teng and Han Sui.

For the generals, it is also a great opportunity to kill the generals and seize the flag. They have long been eager to try and are ready to fight.

With Zhang Xiu's order, the sky was filled with murderous aura in Xiaoguan.

The next day, the army entered Jieting one after another.

There was no turmoil on the march. The defenders in Jieting City were too lazy to send spies. Zhang Xiu's army arrived at Jieting City without any obstacles.

The vanguard first arrived at Jieting and established a long camp. Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei were in charge of the rear army. Finally, they arrived, and there was no need to build a camp, and there were ready-made ones.

However, Zhang Xiu did not stay in the central army's tent, but rode out of the camp with Dian Wei and civil officials and looked at the street pavilion.

Zhang Xiu stopped and took a look at Nanshan first. Well, there was no military force built on Nanshan.

Ma Yuan, the general under Ma Teng, not only set up camps on the road, but also strengthened the market. He set up a solid city on the road.

If Zhuge Liang had such a solid city in Jieting in history, he would definitely be so beautiful. Why worry about not succeeding in the Northern Expedition?

After Zhang Xiu looked at the terrain, he took a last look at Jieting City and then reinstated his horse with everyone. After returning to the central army tent, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered: "Tiyu. Go to Jieting City immediately and persuade Ma Yuan to surrender. If you can accomplish this, you will be the first to do it."

"No." Zhuge Jin responded to the promise and turned around.

After Zhuge Jin left, Zhang Xiu looked around at the civil officials in the tent, smiled a little embarrassedly, "Jieting City is solid, and it is difficult for our army to spread. According to the convention, let someone persuade the surrender first. I guess it would be a waste of effort. If Ma Yuan was so easy to persuade the surrender, Ma Teng would not have sent him to guard Jieting. We took the opportunity to think about how to capture Jieting."

The civil officials were also very embarrassed. Zhang Xiu couldn't think of how to break through Jieting City, either.

Zhang Xiu is the Grand Sima Minggong, and he is confident that he can't come up with an idea.

These advisers are indeed a little incompetent.

Think carefully, think about how to break through the Jieting. Once the Jieting is broken, the sea and the sky will be wide in front of you.

After Zhuge Jin received the order, he brought a few followers and rode his horse out of the camp and came to the foot of Jieting City. After some words, he was invited into the city.

This Jieting City is not an ordinary city, but a military fortress.

Outside is the city wall, but inside is the military camp tent. Twenty thousand elite soldiers and countless military supplies are filled with the city.

Zhuge Jin was familiar with this city and the guard general Ma Yuan. The last time he went to Jicheng, he first came to Jieting and revealed his identity before leaving the other gate.

Zhuge Jin met Ma Yuan at the entrance of the Central Army's tent. This man had a strong face and a strong figure, with the masculinity and a strong aura of the Ma family.

The old acquaintance became. After the two of them were polite for a while, Zhuge Jin was invited to sit in the tent.

"Mr. Ziyu, are you here to be a lobbyist?" Ma Yuan knelt on the handsome throne and looked up to ask Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin's handsome aristocratic family is very rare in Liangzhou. Not only Ma Teng likes Zhuge Jin very much, but Ma Yuan is also.

"The general is really conscious. I am following the order of the Grand Sima to persuade the general to open the city gate and welcome the king's army into the city."

Zhuge Jin bowed his hand calmly and said.

Ma Yuan shook his head gently, and was about to speak. Zhuge Jin interrupted Ma Yuan and said seriously: "Because I am a lobbyist, I also ask the general to let me finish my words."

"Listen attentively." Ma Yuan nodded and bowed his hand.

"Dare you dare to ask General Ma Teng and Han Sui fight against the court. Is there a great chance of victory?" Zhuge Jin asked seriously.

"Not big." Ma Yuan was silent for a moment and said sincerely.

"Then why does the general have to guard Jieting City to the death?" Zhuge Jin asked again.

"Because my eldest brother handed over the city to me, my Ma Yuan can be cut off and the city cannot be abandoned." Ma Yuan said sincerely.

Zhuge Jin looked up at Ma Yuan. Speaking of this, he was already poor. Facing a man with a strong willpower, any words were pale.

"So. I will reply to Grand Sima." Zhuge Jin stood up and bowed deeply to Ma Yuan.

Many people in Liangzhou know that Liangzhou Group has a relatively low chance of winning.

However, the reason why Ma Teng, Han Sui and others still raised an army to resist was because they were lucky enough to let go of their troops and territory.

Ma Yuan is for Ma Teng. Although both sides are enemies, Zhuge Jin respects Ma Yuan very much.

Zhuge Jin left quickly, and Ma Yuan personally sent Zhuge Jin out of the city gate and watched him leave.

After Zhuge Jin returned to Zhang Xiu's camp, he told Zhang Xiu and Ma Yuan's determination truthfully.

Zhang Xiu had no hope for it, so he didn't care about it. He waved his hand and asked Zhuge Jin to go down and rest.

Perhaps because of the completion of the program, Zhang Xiu really thought about how to break through Jieting after a while.

Zhang Xiu lowered his head and looked at the topographic map of Jieting on the shore.

Jieting City is cast on the road, with mountains in the north and south. These mountains in the north and south are not steep peaks, and the army can cross mountains and ridges.

Therefore, when Ma Teng built Jieting City, he did not connect the mountains together.

There is a distance between the mountains and the city. What if you set up camps on the Nanshan Mountain and build a stone catapult to throw stones into Jieting City, and in this way, destroy the morale of the army in Jieting City?

After Zhang Xiu thought for a while, Dian Wei, who looked up to the outside guards, said, "Brother, please ask General Qu Yi, the North of Wei."

"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, and immediately sent someone down. Not long after, Qu Yi hurried over, bowed to Dian Wei, and entered the tent.

Qu Yi has been following Zhang Xiu for a while and is still relatively reliable. Dian Wei did not enter the tent to guard him.

Zhang Xiu first gave Qu Yi a few words as usual, then asked him to sit down and asked, "General Qu. You have been in Xiaoguan for a long time. This Jieting City can be said to be built by you when you look at it. Do you know how many feet the city wall is from Nanshan to the south?"

"Bazhang." Zhang Xiu did not ask the wrong person, and Qu Yi replied without hesitation.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu stroked his palm and smiled, "I know how to break through Jieting City."

"Please make an announcement in the clear direction." Qu Yi suddenly felt refreshed and asked excitedly.

If the Jieting is broken, not only the civil servants will be very worried, but even the military generals will sigh. Now that Zhang Xiu has actually thought of a solution, it really makes him ashamed and excited.

Zhang Xiu did not hide it, and said with a smile: "You can build a stone platform on the Nanshan Mountain, arrange a catapult, and shoot stones from a high place to the city. It will surely shock people. Even if you can't shock people, if you smash too many stones, the city wall can collapse."

Qu Yi's excitement was gone immediately. He looked at Zhang Xiu helplessly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Do you think I'm ridiculous?" Zhang Xiu saw through Qu Yi's thoughts and laughed.

"I dare not." Qu Yi quickly lowered his head and said quickly.

He dared not say that Zhang Xiu was absurd.

"A normal trencher can throw stones four or five zhang, which is already very good. What's more, it's eight zhang? Ma Teng built Jieting City after calculation and left no flaws. But what if I could build a trencher that projected more than eight zhang?"
