The next day, Su Zhe raised an army of 30,000 and went to Benqu County.

At this time, Liu Bei had heard that Su Zhe was going and returning, and ordered the city gate to be closed, strictly guarded, and put on a posture of defending the city to the death.

Su Zhe's army entered the city, besieged the city, and surrounded Qu County into an iron bucket array.

According to the information obtained in advance, the total number of the new army composed of Liu Bei's old troops and the servants of the Mi family was about four to five thousand.

Su Zhe's army of 30,000 was six times that of the enemy, which was enough to calmly besiege the city.

After the camp was completed, Su Zhe convened all the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

When the discussion was being discussed, the soldiers outside the tent entered and said: "My lord, I will send back the latest information, Cao Cao has led an army of 20,000 to the south, and the forward has entered Langxie County, merged with Zang Ba, and is rushing towards my Tancheng." ”

Cao Cao entered Xu, and the target of the attack was not Quxian or Tancheng?

Hearing the news, the expressions of the generals in the tent changed slightly, and all of them showed strange expressions.

"It's strange, Cao Cao didn't come to save Qu County, why did he attack Tancheng?" Veteran Huang Zhongqi said.

Su Zhe's eyes moved, and he guessed Cao Cao's intentions, and sneered: "What's strange about this, Cao Cao is playing a trick to save Zhao from Wei Wei." ”

The generals suddenly realized.

Gao Shun said: "If Tancheng is lost, we will be cut off from retreating, so we must not lose, the lord must send a general to send heavy troops to increase the defense." ”

His voice fell, Xu Huang said: "The troops we have at hand are just enough to besiege Qu County, if we divide our troops, the strength to attack Qu County will be stretched, and then Qu County will not be able to take it, and the longer we fight the city, the more unfavorable it will be for us." ”

The generals nodded in agreement.

Chen Deng took advantage of the situation and said: "Cao Cao's soldiers are strong and strong, and the threat is the greatest, and now it seems that we can only calmly besiege Qu County if we first withdraw the siege of Qu County, return to the division of Tancheng, and defeat Cao Cao first." ”

Su Zhe and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and a trace of sarcasm appeared in their eyes.

Chen Deng is unrepentant, and as soon as he seizes the opportunity, he wants to relieve Liu Bei.

Huangfu Song said: "Cao Cao is extremely cunning, even if the general returns to Tancheng, he may not be able to fight with us, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to retreat, avoid my edge, and wait until we attack Qu County, he will definitely go and return, and then we will be led by his nose, when can we destroy Liu Bei." ”

"This ......" Chen Deng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The situation is like this, this is also a helpless thing, otherwise does the old general Huangfu have any way to get the best of both worlds?" ”

Huangfu Song was speechless.

In the big tent, the atmosphere was cold for a while, and all the generals frowned.

Su Zhe flicked his hand: "Cao Cao can't fly for a while, we still have time to come up with a foolproof plan, since we can't discuss the result today, let's disperse first, go back and think about it." ”

The generals withdrew.

Pang Tong was also about to retire, but at this time, Xu Chu hurriedly entered and whispered to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and said, "Don't leave Tong'er first." ”

Pang Tong stopped, looked back and saw Su Zhe's eyes shining, that meaningful smile, obviously a good thing.

"Sit down, boy, we have a guest to visit." Su Zhe's expression was mysterious.

Pang Tong sat down and said with a smile: "I want to see what kind of guest it is that will make Ziming so excited." ”

Su Zhe glanced at Xu Chu, Xu Chu left the tent, and a moment later, walked in with a man in a black cloak.

The man took off his cloak and bowed to Su Zhe: "Grass people Mi Fang, meet General Su." ”

Mi Fang.

Pang Tongxing's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Su Zhe, as if he had guessed what his mysterious smile meant.

"Excuse me." Su Zhe flicked his hand, "Mi Fang, I remember that you and your brother are important ministers under Liu Bei, you came to me at this time, didn't you come to find death." ”

Mi Fang's body was shocked, and she secretly shivered, and a trace of chill passed through her eyes.

He coughed dryly and arched his hand: "Back to the general, the reason why my brother and I serve Liu Bei is just afraid of his authority and can't wait for it. ”

The Mi family really wants to be obedient.

Su Zhe was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it in the slightest, and said in a flat tone: "If I remember correctly, Liu Bei can gain a firm foothold in Qu County and recover his vitality, thanks to your Mi family's sacrifice of food and people, I heard that you almost married your sister to Liu Bei, this doesn't look like Liu Bei threatened you, it looks like you are willing." ”

Su Zhe deliberately exposed their hypocrisy and embarrassed Mi Fang, and didn't mention that he robbed Mi Zhen.

Mi Fang's forehead was sweating, her expression was embarrassed, and she squeaked for a while, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Pang Tong excused him and said: "I heard that the Mi brothers have always understood the righteousness, the lord represents the Son of Heaven, is the court, and is where the righteousness lies, the Mi brothers should not deliberately be enemies with the lord, as for them to give Liu Bei food and people, I think most of them were threatened by Liu Bei and forced to do it." ”

Su Zhe glanced at Pang Tong and secretly praised her for understanding herself, at this time, she needs one to sing white face and the other to sing black face.

Mi Fang saw that someone was speaking for him, and his heart was also overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "What Miss Pang said is very true, although Liu Bei was defeated, but there are more than 1,000 elite soldiers, Mi Xia also has a fierce general like Guan Yu Zhang Fei, my brother and I are also afraid of his might, and we have to compromise. ”

As she spoke, Mi Fang knelt down and bowed her head, looking very sincere.

Su Zhe looked at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong nodded slightly to him.

Su Zhefang said: "So, your Mi family was forced to help Liu Bei?" ”

"Yes, yes, of course." Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, this time the general sent troops to rob my little sister and prevented my Mi family from being forced to marry Liu Bei, otherwise, my Mi family would really be in a situation from which no one can recover." ”

"I see." Su Zhe's expression softened, but he said: "But you keep saying that you are willing to submit to me and the court, how can you prove it?" Do you want me to believe you just by saying a few words? ”

Mi Fang hurriedly said: "That's the case, my eldest brother and I are willing to cooperate with the outside world, launch a mutiny, help the general capture Qu County, destroy Liu Bei, and atone for the crime, to prove our determination and sincerity to return to the general." ”

Finally, Su Zhe finally heard what he wanted to hear.

This is also the reason why he was excited when he learned that Mi Fang had come secretly.

Now that Cao Cao's reinforcements are coming, and Qu County is solid, he is worried that he can't break through Qu County quickly, and the Mi family came to defect at this time, which is really a charcoal in the snow.

There is a Mi clan to raise troops to respond, why worry about not being able to quickly break through Qu County.

"Liu Bei, it seems that this time, you accompanied your wife and broke the army......"
