When Zhang Fei heard Fan Qiang's words, a pair of gray eyes suddenly regained a hint of brilliance, but then he said gloomily: "Even if I can go out, what can I do?" The lord values profit over righteousness, for the sake of his inheritance, and does not care about our old ministers, will I continue to work for him after I go out? I'm afraid that even if I am willing to die for him, he will never believe me again. ”

Fan Qiang hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhang Fei: "General, the last general said something that should not be said, do you think this time the Duke of Chu led a large army to conquer Guanzhong, can the Duke of Qin hold it?" ”

Zhang Fei was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If you talk about the shape, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Qin Gong to defend, although Guanzhong is a place of four stops, but the army and people are tired, and the materials are scarce, Liu Qi doesn't have to do anything else, even if we continue to confront us for a long time, we can be dragged down alive, so, in my opinion, the demise of Guanzhong is inevitable, it's just a matter of time, if you can defeat Liu Qi's invasion this time, maybe you can keep the foundation for decades, if you can't resist it, then needless to say, three or five years at most, one or two years at the least." , Guanzhong will die. It was precisely because I saw this that I decided to go out of the city to fight Liu Qi in a decisive battle, hoping to win the decisive battle and force Liu Qi to keep his promise and not invade my Guanzhong again, I didn't expect Liu Qi's Praetorian Guard to be so powerful......"

Fan Qiang couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this Zhang Fei to have such a plan, he had been following Zhang Fei for several years, and he had always thought that this person was just a brave general who only knew how to fight bravely, until this time he knew that this person was thick and fine, and many problems actually had a unique vision, no wonder he was so valued by the lord Liu Qi.

Of course, Fan Qiang would not say what he thought in his heart, so he persuaded quietly at the moment: "Since the general already knows that Duke Qin will perish no matter what, he naturally knows that at that time, whether it is the general's family or Guan Gong's family, it will be difficult to be preserved in the future." Even the lives of the young general and the young general Guan are difficult to preserve, so what about the general and the general who did not adapt to the situation, surrendered to the Duke of Chu, and then begged the Duke of Chu to save their lives? ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Fan Qiang, you have been with me for many years." But I don't know the character of the lord, Bao'er and Xing'er are now in Daqin with heavy troops, once I surrender to Liu Qi, they including their dependents will definitely be harmed by Zhuge Liang, it is precisely because of this that I resolutely refuse to surrender, I only hope that I can die, in order to get rid of the lord's suspicions, although they will inevitably die in the future, but they will still end up in a name of loyalty. And I and Brother Yun's dependents. I know that Liu Qi is a generous person, and he is not as good as his wife and children, although I have died with all my loyalty to the Lord, he will never harm my family. Although I plan to make Liu Qi suffer a loss, I owe him a friendship and can only repay it in the next life. ”

Fan Qiang's expression when he looked at Zhang Fei suddenly became more respectful, and he found that after this day, he had a new understanding of Zhang Fei. This person is not only wise, but he can also see people so accurately. It's just a pity that such a character, how can he not see through the hypocritical Liu Bei?

Fan Qiang sighed and said respectfully: "In that case, why don't the general think of a way to repay the kindness of the Duke of Chu in this life?" The last general has a plan, which can make the general not only protect his family, but also repay the affection of the Duke of Chu. At the same time, maybe he can save the life of Duke Qin, I don't know what the general wants? ”

Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Qiang strangely, and then said, "Let's talk about it, what's the plan?" ”

I heard Fan Qiang say: "The last general will find a way to rescue the general, and the general will still be returned to the Duke of Qin." The general can take this opportunity to protect his family, and wait for the Duke of Chu to surrender when the army of the Duke of Chu is in the city, and ask the Duke of Chu to save his life, the last general heard that when Zhao Zilong surrendered, he had to save the life of the Duke of Qin, and now the general makes this request again, the Duke of Chu will definitely agree, so that although the Duke of Qin has lost his foundation, he can save his life and the lives of his family, This can be regarded as the general repaying him for his kindness. ”

Zhang Fei was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Zhang Da, you tell me the truth, did you really obey Liu Qi, and then persuaded me to surrender by his order?" ”

Zhang Fei's eyes stared at Fan Qiang, although his body was extremely weak, and he was tied up, it made Fan Qiang feel a trace of fear, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a snort: "The last general, the last general......."

Zhang Fei didn't care about Fan Qiang's expression at all, and shouted in a deep voice: "Say." ”

At this time, I heard a burst of laughter outside, and then I heard someone say: "Zhang Fei is coarse and fine, but today it is not true, and he can see Lone's strategy at a glance, which is really admirable." ”

Zhang Fei looked like this, and snorted: "Liu Qi, it's really your ghost." ”

I saw that the tent was opened, and I saw Liu Qi walk in, and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang is right, it is indeed Lone's idea, but Lone is not harming you this time, but in order to protect you and Guan Yu's family, and to save the people of Chang'an Hecheng from another war, if the general agrees, Lone will promise you, and when the war in Guanzhong is over, he will lend you a team to let you lead the army into Luoyang, destroy Cao Wei, and avenge Guan Yu." ”

"You're saying I'm only working with you, not surrendering to you?" A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, and he looked at Liu Qi with burning eyes, as if to see how sincere he was.

But seeing Liu Qi nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, that's right, you and I are allies, not subordinates." ”

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that I will lead troops against you after I destroy Cao Wei?" Zhang Fei said with a slight sneer.

"Don't be afraid, if you don't accept it, it's not too late for us to decide the winner, and I will definitely give you a fair chance to have a fair showdown when the time comes." Liu Qi didn't look at Zhang Fei, and said proudly: "What's more, Gu Ye knows that Zhang Yide has the people of the world in mind when he was a teenager, and he will definitely not bear the people to be ...... by war again."

"That's not necessarily, you just wait, the day the army enters Luoyang, I will definitely have a fair duel with you again, and then we must have a winner between us, if I lose, I will naturally obey you, but if I win, I will definitely let you kneel and say I obey."

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Liu Qi, but lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Liu Qi and Fan Qiang glanced at each other and quietly retreated.

Liu Qi didn't expect today's events to be so smooth, and the result was even better than Jia Xu expected, and when he was happy in his heart, he named Fan Qiang as a partial general, and then asked him to do so.

Fan Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked Liu Qi, and then acted according to the plan.

So, on the second night, Zhang Fei disappeared mysteriously, and along with him disappeared with Zhang Fei's previous military Sima Fan Qiang, it is said that this person was Zhang Fei's diehard, and was forced to surrender to the Duke of Chu at that time, in fact, in order to wait for an opportunity to rescue Zhang Fei.

Later, I heard that Zhang Fei fled back to Wang County with Fan Qiang, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Fei fleeing back, but said that Zhang Fei had been honest and hard for days, so he asked him to temporarily return to Chang'an to rest, and handed over the important task of Chang'an city defense to Zhang Fei.......

The day after Zhang Fei fled, Liu Qi, who was furious, immediately led a large army to the city of Wangxian County, surrounded the city wall on three sides, and began a large-scale attack.

At the beginning, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't take this seriously, because although Liu Qi's offensive was fierce, he was helpless against the thick city wall, and Zhuge Liang had already secretly prepared a repeating crossbow, waiting to give the enemy a heavy blow at the critical moment, so he was not worried in his heart, but the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.

But I don't know if it's because of Liu Qi's anger, today's Chu army's offensive turned out to be extremely fierce, the army has been attacking for nearly three hours, and it still hasn't retreated, Zhuge Liang is carefully coping with the enemy's offensive while guessing what Liu Qi's conspiracy is.

But Zhuge Liang observed for a long time but didn't find anything unusual, he couldn't guess Liu Qi's intentions.

Fortunately, in the end, after three and a half hours of onslaught, the enemy finally retreated.

Looking at the enemy army that receded like a tide, Zhuge Liang's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

As a result, it was only a moment later, and the uneasiness in his heart was confirmed, because just when everyone thought that the Chu army was retreating and their hearts were relaxed, they suddenly saw that there were soldiers of the Chu army under the city, and this time they still wanted to attack the city, but they did not build ladders, but launched one after another stone throwing vehicles, hundreds of stone throwing vehicles, lined up outside the moat, and then launched a fierce attack on the west city wall.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew that with his ability, he also built a lot of stone-throwing vehicles for the army to defend against the enemy's siege equipment, but what Zhuge Liang didn't expect was that the opponent's stone-throwing vehicle was a full 200 steps away, so that the enemy's stone-throwing vehicle could throw stones directly at the city head outside the moat.

And what worries Zhuge Liang the most is that the stones thrown by these stone throwers are full of thirty or forty pounds, and there is no reason to survive when they hit people, even if they are smashed on the city wall, they can cause great damage to the city wall, but the result is only half an hour, the city wall is gradually a little unbearable, the original solid and smooth wall has become potholes, broken, Zhuge Liang estimates that in another half an hour, the city wall will collapse because of the impact of the boulder.

If there is no cover of the city wall, just relying on the 30,000 horses in the city, it is impossible to be the opponent of Liu Qi's 50,000 tiger and wolf army, which also means that Wang County will be lost because of this! (To be continued......)
