Zhang Shumo welcomed Pan Feng into the big tent, and then asked Pang Yuan to settle the people brought by Pan Feng. For Pan Feng to lead the troops to surrender, Zhang Shumo was overjoyed: "General Pan is coming, Zhang is very happy, I have not made preparations today, and I will hold a banquet to entertain the general tomorrow!" ”

"Zhang Gongzi is very fond of him, Pan is flattered, and he will definitely die for his son in the future!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Shumo asked people to take Pan Feng down to rest, and Zhang Yan came over after a while.

"Gongzi Zhang, the last general heard that Pan Feng led people to surrender to Gongzi?"

Seeing that Zhang Shumo nodded, Zhang Yan continued: "Zhang Gongzi, Pan Feng must not be reused!" Today he escaped from the battle, leaving General Su alone to steal his life, such a greedy person who is afraid of death will definitely spoil the great affairs of the son in the future! ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Thank you General Zhang for reminding me, I have my own measure in this matter!" ”

After sending Zhang Yan away, Zhang Shumo hurriedly went to Pang Yuan to determine whether the surrendered troops were properly placed, and Zhang Shumo was more concerned about the more than 4,000 surrendered troops than Pan Feng. The loss of Xiu Wuzhi and today's battle caused Zhang Shumo's side to lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and Zhang Shumo was worried that there were not enough soldiers and horses to recover Xiu Wuzhi, so these 4,000 people came in time. Moreover, these 4,000 men and horses are not recruits, and they can provide a certain amount of immediate combat power, which really solves Zhang Shumo's urgent need.

In Qinghua City, Jiang Bin told Zhang Shumo's words to Peng Mao as they were, and Peng Mao laughed out loud after hearing it.

"This chapter Shumo is really ambitious! I really didn't know that he had such a ability before, otherwise if he followed him, how could it not be a big deal? ”

Jiang Bin looked puzzled: "What does the military advisor mean by this?" ”

Peng Mao asked rhetorically: "Do you know what Zhang Shumo wants to ask Su Yi for?" ”

Jiang Bin thought for a while and said: "He is worried that if we kill Su Yi, the Western Route Army will no longer be able to restrain our Northern Route Army, and he will not be able to develop in the northwest." ”

Peng Mao smiled and shook his head: "I think his real intention is to control Su Yi, and thus control the Western Route Army!" Su Yi is in his hands, and the Western Route Army will obey him, and then he will have the strength to compete with our Northern Route Army. ”

In this way, Su Yi said that he couldn't hand it over to Zhang Shumo. But Zhang Shumo said that if he didn't give him Su Yi, he would attack the city, so it was better to kill Su Yi now, so that Zhang Shumo's plan would not succeed! Jiang Bin thought about it and said.

Peng Mao shook his head: "No! Killing Su Yi will strengthen the determination of the Western Route Army to attack us, and now that the war in the north is tight, we have no troops to fight, and only by leaving Su Yi can we have room for maneuver. As for Zhang Shumo's side, there is no need to worry, if Zhang Shumo wants to attack the city, he will not come to stop Su Yi from attacking the city. Zhang Shumo knows the overall situation, and I don't expect him to attack the city now. But we still have to give him some benefits, after all, it was his plan, and we have to give him some face. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Shumo summoned the backbone of the camp and asked everyone to prepare to negotiate with Peng Mao.

Pan Feng was taken aback when he saw Zhang Yan, and couldn't help asking, "General Zhang, are you really Zhang Gongzi's internal response?" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly denied it, and explained that he was captured, but he had a good relationship with Zhang Shumo and was not restricted from freedom.

Pan Feng was skeptical of this, he thought that no matter how heavy Zhang Shumo was about feelings, he would not give such a big freedom to an enemy general. But Pan Feng didn't ask, he understood that he had just arrived, and it was better to be less nosy.

When he arrived, Zhang Shumo brought people and horses to invite Qinghua City to set up a formation. Peng Mao and Jiang Bin also brought people to meet with them.

"Gongzi Zhang, the last time we met seemed to be in front of this Qinghua City, Gongzi seems to have killed Lao Yu's family, Lao Yu remembers, right?" Peng Mao said angrily.

Zhang Shumo laughed: "It seems that Mr. Peng has a lot of grudges, but Mr. Peng sent troops to attack Qinghua City and almost killed the lady below, and he has never forgotten it." ”

Peng Mao also laughed: "In that case, you and I have nothing to talk about, it's better for Gongzi to attack the city directly, let's talk according to our ability!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Shumo suddenly sneered: "Since that's the case, then you're welcome!" Everyone get on their horses and get ready to charge! ”

As soon as the soldiers heard this, they immediately assumed a charging posture. Seeing this, Jiang Bin hurriedly clenched the spear in his hand.

Who knew that Peng Mao laughed: "You won't attack the city, otherwise you won't stop Su Yi from attacking the city!" You and I both know Su Yi's role, so do you think I will hand Su Yi over to you? However, the old man is willing to hand over the other hostages, and I don't know if the son is satisfied. After speaking, Peng Mao clapped his hands.

At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army walked out with Chen Lin, Qin Sheng and a group of horses. When Jiang Bin burned the grain and grass of the Western Route Army yesterday, he intercepted the camp along the way and captured many men and horses of the Western Route Army.

Zhang Shumo frowned, hesitated in his heart, and then Peng Mao hurriedly added: "Zhang Gongzi rest assured, the old man didn't dare to kill him easily if he left Su Yi." But if the old decay leaves these people behind, maybe when he is in a bad mood, he will kill one or two to vent his anger! ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly at this time: "I didn't expect that the four councilors of our General's Mansion would gather again but it would be a never-ending situation, Zhang Gongzi didn't have to care about us, it was important to save General Su." If General Su falls into the hands of thieves, I'm afraid this northwest will have to change his surname! ”

Zhang Shumo knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to attack the city, and he was just scaring Peng Mao just now, but he was cunning and cunning, and he didn't eat this set at all. At the moment, I am afraid that I can only retreat and save Chen Lin and them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo said: "Mr. Chen, rest assured, with me, I will never let the northwest fall into the hands of thieves!" And the two gentlemen are equally important, how can they see death and not save them? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo said to Peng Mao again: "I agreed to Mr. Peng's request, but this time in order to help Mr. Peng defend the city, I lost Xiuwuzhi, and asked Mr. Peng to lend me hundreds of rice grains in Xia, so that I could recapture Xiuwuzhi!" ”

Peng Mao had long expected these requirements of Zhang Shumo, and since he was willing to give in, of course he would not care about these rice grains. So Peng Mao ordered Chen Lin, Qin Sheng and other prisoners to be released, and gave Zhang Shumo 500 wheat as a thank you gift, and Zhang Shumo led the troops to retreat.

Back at the camp, the rescued people thanked Zhang Shumo and left on their own. Zhang Yan finally decided to go back to Xu Liangcheng first, so he followed Chen Lin and his party together. Zhang Shumo ordered people to immediately pull out the village and set off to a village between Xiuwuzhi and Xu Liangcheng!

At this time, the news of Su Yi's defeat had reached Xu Liang and Xiu Wuzhi, and Lu Kan sat on the stool after receiving the news. Su Yi lost to Zhang Shumo with more than 10,000 horses, so how could he resist Zhang Shumo's attack with only 5,000 horses? And he killed a lot of Zhang Shumo's subordinates, and Zhang Shumo will never be soft when the time comes, it seems that he will go for the best plan!
