In the imperial tent, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the meat is fragrant and aftertaste.

The wine was already on the table, and Su Zhe was sitting on the dragon seat, drinking a little wine.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that the Ma family brothers and sisters can convince that Pound?" Zhang Chunhua, who was serving on the side, asked.

Su Zhe sneered confidently: "Except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's charm is not enough to make anyone loyal to him, and I believe that Pang De will not be an exception." ”

Zhang Chunhua didn't speak, but there was a little doubt on his pretty face.

At this moment, the Imperial Forest Sergeant outside the tent entered and claimed that the Ma brothers and sisters had brought Pang De to see him.

Zhang Chunhua's expression was shocked, and he looked at Su Zhe with surprise.

Su Zhe had already expected it, so he only flicked his hand lightly: "Call them in." ”

The curtain was lifted, Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu entered the big tent first, and then, Pang De also followed behind and silently entered the big tent.

"Pang Lingming, my wine has been prepared for you, would you like to sit down and have a few drinks with me?" Su Zhe smiled faintly.

Pang De looked at the steaming wine, and couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking that Su Zhe seemed to expect him to come to Shun, so he prepared a banquet in advance, this ability to perceive people's hearts is really terrifying.

He didn't hesitate any longer, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Su Zhe: "Chen Pang De finally realized today, and he is willing to submit to His Majesty and serve His Majesty!" ”

Finally!

The second fierce general of Xiliang finally lowered his stubborn and arrogant head and wanted to surrender to Su Zhe.

At this moment, looking at Pang De who was prostrating himself on the ground, Su Zhe felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart.

You must know that Pang De in history, after being captured by Guan Yu, would rather die than surrender, but also be loyal to Cao Cao.

And now, he is willing to bend his knees and submit to himself, which proves that his bearing has long surpassed Cao Cao, which is enough for "diehards" like Pang De to change their minds and kneel and surrender.

"Good! Very good! ”

Su Zhe laughed loudly, stepped forward to help Pang De up, and drank, "Bring the wine!" ”

Xu Chu hurriedly took matters into his own hands and brought two glasses of wine.

Su Zhe took one cup for himself, handed the other cup to Pang De, and said with a proud smile: "Pang Lingming, you can submit to me, I am really happy in my heart, I won't talk about those hypocritical scenes, all the past things are in this wine, drink it, tomorrow is a new beginning!" ”

After saying that, Su Zhe raised his head and drank it all.

Pang De didn't expect that Su Zhe was not only extremely resourceful, but also had such a free and heroic spirit, and couldn't help but be deeply impressed, without saying a word, he raised his head and drank it all.

The two of them turned the wine glass upside down, looked at the empty wine glass, and the two of them laughed loudly.

The brothers and sisters Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu behind them couldn't help but laugh when they saw this exciting scene.

In the imperial tent, there was a hearty laughter.

……

Su Zhe was overjoyed to have a general surrendered, so he was naturally in a good mood, and drank wine in Guzang City for four days in a row.

Four days later, the follow-up grain and grass arrived, and Su Zhefang led an army of 70,000 foot cavalry to march and continue to advance towards the north of Liang.

As for Liu Bei, he fled all the way.

In the first battle of Guzang City, more than half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and Liu Bei's remaining soldiers and horses were less than 20,000, and the people were panicked and their morale was low, and they naturally did not dare to confront each other head-on in the face of three times the Han army.

As a result, Liu Bei retreated all the way to the north, and abandoned the cities of Xiutu, Xianmei, Fanhe, Delete Dan, Wulan and other Wuwei and Zhangye counties, and retreated all the way to Zhaowu City, the northwestern tip of Zhangye County.

Liu Bei was not inactive on the way to retreat, all the abandoned cities, the people in the city were all driven away, the cattle, sheep, grain and grass were all swept away, and the city was burned down with a fire.

Liu Bei's purpose could not be clearer, he wanted to adopt the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, cutting off all the possibilities of Su Zhe to obtain food on the spot, so that Su Zhe's supply line would be longer and longer, hoping to contain the attack of the Wei army through logistical pressure.

Su Zhe was unmoved, and made up his mind to destroy Liu Bei, while calling the rear to transport grain, while continuing to go north, chasing after him.

It's just that because the Liangbei counties are long and narrow, there are no big rivers to transport grain, and all transportation can only rely on manpower to store power, and such a long and harsh supply line can imagine the pressure on logistics.

The date when the grain and grass were transported to the front line was naturally getting later and later, so Su Zhe had to take the initiative to slow down.

As a result, the 70,000 Wei troops walked and stopped all the way, and it took nearly ten days of hard work to pass through the ruined cities and enter the line of Zhaowu City.

At this moment, the 20,000 Han troops in Zhaowu City have been resting here for nearly five or six days, and their morale and spirit have recovered slightly.

They thought that they had all fled to such a remote place, and that the Wei army would probably not come to pursue them again, and that he would finally be able to turn the corner.

When the battle banner of the Great Wei appeared in the southeast of Zhaowu City, the dream of the Han army was shattered, and the panic once again enveloped their hearts, causing them to relive the terrifying memories of fear.

Zhaowu City, the main hall of the county government.

Liu Bei Ku sat on the top, his face was gloomy as iron, his expression was gloomy and anxious, and he could only rely on constantly pouring wine cup by cup to calm the heavy emotions in his heart.

Syllable!

The empty wine glass smashed on the desk, and Liu Bei, who was slightly drunk, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn Su thief, I have already retreated here, you are still biting me, are you determined to put me to death~~"

The civil ministers and generals who had withered at the foot of the stairs all sighed and shook their heads, and their low emotions flowed through the crowd like a plague.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Su thief wants to force us to death, what is your way to solve it?" Scolding and scolding, Liu Bei still has to face the reality, and can only ask everyone for help.

Guan Yu and other generals were silent and had nothing to do.

Sima Yi and Yang Fu, their faces were also very solemn, and there seemed to be no good way.

"Alas, Prime Minister, when will you wake up, if you don't wake up again, my Han will be finished......" Liu Bei sighed in disappointment, and remembered Zhuge Liang's goodness again.

At this time, Sima Yi, who had been silent for a long time, flashed a trace of imperceptible determination in his eyes, as if he had some kind of confidence.

At that moment, he stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, so far, only the minister has taken the risk." ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, a hint of joy appeared on his gray face, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to go, what kind of plan does Zhong Da have?" ”

Sima Yi said: "From here to the northeast, along the weak water to the north, through the Yanhai, through the desert, you can enter the territory of the Xianbei people, the minister is willing to go alone, with the minister's three-inch tongue, persuade the Xianbei people to send troops to rescue, when the time comes, we will be able to defeat the Su thief." ”

Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and a look of hope suddenly surged in his eyes, and he shouted: "Bring the map!" ”

Wu Ban hurriedly brought the map and spread it out on the desk, Liu Bei stood up, excited, and examined it carefully.

After a long time, Liu Bei patted the case a few times and said: "If Zhongda can really persuade the Xianbei people to send troops south from the weak water, it can indeed cut off the back road of the Wei army and kill the Su thief by surprise." ”
