Cao Xiu sent Fu Shiren away, turned around and entered the military tent, and when he heard that Cao Xiu had entered the tent, Li Huai and Zhang Han, who were hiding behind the screen just now, also turned around and looked out curiously.

Cao Xiu sat down in the handsome seat, and when he saw the second general outside the tent, he deliberately coughed twice and said, "Okay, everyone has gone away, what else to see?" ”

When the two of them heard this, they turned around and stood still.

"The Shu army is going to surrender, what do you think?" Cao Xiu asked lightly.

Zhang Han pursed his lips disdainfully, clenched his fists and replied: "Exhausted and lonely, what can you do if you don't surrender?" ”

"Lonely?" Cao Xiu frowned slightly, chewed Zhang Han's words on both sides repeatedly, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened when others surrendered, it's just that Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's confidant and is extremely loyal to Liu Bei...... I don't believe it too much! ”

Hearing this, Li Huai took a step forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Does the general suspect that the Shu army is cheating?" ”

Cao Xiu nodded, touched the tiger talisman on the table, and said slowly: "Zhuge Zhan uses soldiers like ghosts, and he doesn't follow common sense, I'm afraid that he will send Fu Shiren to ask for surrender this time, and what treachery is involved." ”

When Li Huai heard this, he smiled slightly and asked, "Since the general suspects that the Shu army is cheating, why did Fang have to agree to Fu Shiren?" ”

"What if it doesn't?" When Cao Xiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

When Li Huai heard this, he raised his right hand, made a knife, and slashed downward.

Seeing this, Cao Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "The two countries will fight each other, and they will not be killed." If he really wanted to be sincere and obedient, wouldn't it make the people of the world frightened? Who will dare to submit to our army in the future? ”

"What does the general mean, we really want to send someone to Xu Du to ask for the prime minister's pardon?" When Zhang Han heard this, he was in a hurry, this group of Shu Kou still has to be so miserable, amnesty? It's so cheap for them!

When Cao Xiu heard this, he thought about it and said: "If they really belong sincerely, it's okay, I'm just afraid that they are treacherous, and the plank road will be secretly Chen Cang!" ”

Li Huai heard this, his heart was in a hurry, Gongzi sent Fu Shiren to seek peace, in Li Huai's view, 100% is a fraud, all he did was to buy some time, if Cao Xiu didn't believe it, then Master Zhuge 's plan would fail, then it would be very unfavorable to the Shu army, so Li Huai took a step forward and hugged his fists and suggested: "General, now the Shu army is surrounded by us in Penglai, there is no way to enter the heavens and no door, what else can be treacherous?" At best, it's a delaying tactic. If we attack now, although we can completely annihilate the Shu army, however, this time, the Shu army is brave, Penglai City is strong, and the strong attack may have to be flattened and there will be many casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses. Second, since the Shu army has returned from a poor journey, we refuse, which also makes the people who want to return to the future fearful, adding resistance to the prime minister's pacification of the four seas, with a certain opinion, it is better to ......" Speaking of this, Li Huai stopped, raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Xiu, and saw that Cao Xiu was listening to himself attentively, and his face did not show an unhappy look, so he put his mind at ease, and then said: "It's better to be a favor, while Pegasus reports to the Metropolitan Governor, and reports the conditions of the Shu Army to the Metropolitan Governor, and listens to his opinions." On the other hand, he ordered the whole army to step up the encirclement of Penglai, so that the Shu army would not have a chance. There is not much grain in Penglai City, and it is far away from Shudi, so they can't wait for reinforcements. We might as well consume him for a few more days, and wait until they run out of food and grass, and at that time, whether he really wants to surrender or pretend to surrender, what else can he do? ”

After Li Huai finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Cao Xiu to speak, but for a long time, he didn't hear Cao Xiu speak, so he raised his head boldly, but saw Cao Xiu sitting in a handsome position, his eyes slightly closed, his brows slightly locked, as if he was thinking about something, for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, pointed at Li Huai and said: "You kid is a captain and can be a general!" ”

"Thank you, General, for the compliment!" When Li Huai heard this, he fell to his knees with a thud and thanked him, with a happy face, but what he was really happy about was not Cao Xiu's praise for him, what he was really happy about was that he had won the last time for the Shu army.

Cao Xiu listened to Li Huai's suggestion, and wrote the Shu army's request to surrender and Li Huai's suggestion into a policy, and reported it to Cao Ren overnight.

With Cao Ren's approval, Cao Xiu continued to contact the Shu army on the one hand to discuss the matter of returning to Shun, on the other hand, he hurried to deploy troops in the west and south of Penglai to prevent the Shu army from counterattacking or breaking through, and as for the defense of the east, it was handed over to Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard cavalry, after all, although his tiger and leopard cavalry was strong, but the number was small, and it was mainly cavalry, longer than attack, short of defense.

At the head of Penglai City, Young Master Zhuge held on to the city wall, looking at the besieging Cao Jun outside the city, with a relaxed face, as if the Cao Army was not surrounded by himself.

"Zhan'er, can you still laugh at this time?" Zhao Yun, who was standing next to Young Master Zhuge with a sad face, turned his head and saw that Young Master Zhuge was actually smiling, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he turned his head, saw Zhao Yun's unhappy face, and persuaded with a smile: "Master, life is like a dream, a hundred years in the blink of an eye." It's a day to be sad, and it's a day to be happy, so why bother to find yourself unhappy? ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he sneered and said, "Hmph, you are thinking about it, let me ask you, did you let Fu Shiren go to Cao Ying?" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, Master, how did you know?" I told him to go quietly! ”

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and said disdainfully: "Cut, what can I hide from my eyes in the army?" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Master is Master, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, and the apprentice's worship of you is like a surging river, and it is like a ......."

"Okay, okay, don't you say it quickly, what are you asking Fu Shiren to do in Cao Ying?" Zhao Yun waved his hand, interrupting Young Master Zhuge 's sycophant offensive.

Young Master Zhuge scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Master, you really don't give face, I don't usually make sycophants, I finally came up with such a good sentence, and you still don't let me finish it." Okay, I'll tell you, I asked Fu Shiren to ask for surrender! ”

"Surrender?" When Zhao Yun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he thought about it, and asked tentatively: "The plan to delay the army?" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun sighed, turned around and pointed at Cao Jun outside the city, and said, "Even so, look at this tide of enemy troops, can we drag it out for a while, can we drag it out for a lifetime?" What's more, there isn't much food in the city! ”

"What does Master mean?" Young Master Zhuge tilted his head and asked with a smile.

Zhao Yun held on to the city wall, clenched his fists, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "Break through!" ”

"Breakout? How to break through? "Breakout? Easier said than done.

Zhao Yun turned around, held Young Master Zhuge with both hands, stared at Young Master Zhuge with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I will lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to pretend to be the main force, make a feint attack to the south, and attract the main force of the Cao army." You break out from the west with the rest of your army. ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, his heart was a little sour, Zhao Yun wanted to retreat with his own sacrifice in exchange for his whole body, thinking of this, Young Master Zhuge didn't feel a little moist in his eyes. Young Master Zhuge held back his tears, smiled reluctantly, took a deep breath, and said slowly to Zhao Yun for a while: "Master, don't worry!" I have a way, we'll all be fine, give me some time! ”
