In Wuling City, Gong Zhi was drunk for no reason by Jin Xuan and was blinded and didn't want to go to the office, so he simply went home to rest.

In the past few days, because Liu Bei's army attacked the city, the city was under high alert and there were troops patrolling day and night.

Those illegal people in the market dare not challenge the authority of the army. Gong Zhi, who is in charge of arrest, prison and taxation, can really take a few days off.

After he returned home, he did not go back to his study, but hurried to the guest room. After knocking on the door, a scholar who was elegant and elegant and decent opened the door and Gong Zhi flashed in.

The two sat down, Gong Zhi said to the scholar very sorry:

"Uncle Chang, I'm sorry, I was unable to convince Jin Xuan to surrender. It seems that Ling's brother Ma Su still has to fight a tough battle!"

It turned out that the elegant scholar living in Gong Zhi's house was Ma Su's third brother Ma Xian. After receiving Ma Su's letter, he arranged for Gong Zhi to convince Jin Xuan and let him surrender without fighting.

Who knew that Jin Xuan had some idea of ​​why, but Gong Zhi, who was determined to start a war with Liu Bei, proposed to surrender, was almost killed by Jin Xuan.

Ma Xian had already received news about what happened on the city wall, and he was also a little confused in his heart.

Because at that time, the battle between hostile forces did not require conquest of every county. As long as the army of the hostile forces was defeated, most counties could make an appointment.

Wuling County surrendered to Cao Cao, which was decided by edicts.

Now Cao Cao was defeated in the Red Cliff and his army was dispersed. He had to retreat to Xuchang. Cao Ren, who was guarding Jingzhou, was far away in Jiangling and had no time to take care of himself and had no spare time to support the war in Wuling County.

Therefore, after Liu Bei came to the door, according to the principle, even if Jin Xuan surrendered without hearing the news, if someone asked him, it would be like giving him a step and let him keep his face, and he would definitely surrender!

Because only in this way can Jin Xuan protect his official position and property.

If Jin Xuan insisted on going to war with Liu Bei, he would compete with the more than 10,000 mobs of Wuling to fight against Liu Bei's tens of thousands of elite soldiers. It would only take time for failure.

Once Jin Xuan is defeated, he is likely to lose his life and will even involve the entire family!

Therefore, Ma Xian believes that an old fox like Jin Xuan must also know this, and it may be difficult to surrender himself because of face issues.

If someone proposes surrender, even if Jin Xuan cannot accept it, he will not kill someone to establish his authority and will cut off his retreat.

Ma Xian asked Gong Zhi to surrender at a critical moment, but who knew that Jin Xuan had already made up his mind and could not tolerate others' opposition, which almost killed Gong Zhi's life and left his years of investment in vain.

So, after hearing Gong Zhi's words, he answered sincerely:

"You don't have to blame Gong for doing this. You can't blame you for this. I don't expect it!"

After pondering for a while, Ma Xian continued to ask Gong Zhi:

"Gong is engaged, what do you think is the reason that Jin Xuan insists on going to war with Uncle Liu regardless of his family's life and family safety?"

After hearing Ma Xian’s question, Gong Zhi also fell into deep thought.

The room was quiet, and it took about a cup of tea. Gong Zhi knew Jin Xuan deeply, and an imaginary appeared in his mind and immediately said to Ma Xian:

"Uncle Chang, I guess Jin Xuan is determined to do so, perhaps fighting for his son Jin Yi!"

Ma Xian was a little confused. Jin Xuan's son Jin Yi should have nothing to do with Liu Bei. How could he go against Liu Bei because of his son?

Looking at Ma Xian with a confused look on his face, Gong Zhi quickly explained:

"Jin Xuan was a famous minister, Jin Il-jen, and he had two sons, the eldest son Jin Yi and the younger son Jin Zuo. The eldest son Jin Yi was nearly forty years old. He was smart and studious and talented at a young age. He was now a servant of the Huangmen. He was the close attendant of Emperor Xian of Han. He can be said to be the pride of the Jin Xuan family. The youngest son Jin Zuo was naughty since childhood and was ignorant. Although he was over thirty years old, he was not a good job. He was a typical second-generation official and second-generation ancestor. He was a powerful and blessed in the Wuling realm, which made Jin Xuan very shameless! Therefore, Jin Xuan cared about his eldest son's future. He insisted on going to war with Liu Bei, mainly because if he surrendered without fighting, it would lead to Cao Cao's unhappiness and thus affect his son's future!"

Ma Xian nodded and said, "What Gong is doing is reasonable! If you want to say that a person can ignore his own safety, only parents will treat his children in the world!"

Gong Zhi was also a son and a father. When he remembered his parents' care for him, he nodded with deep feelings:

"Uncle always makes sense. It seems that the battle between Liu Bei's army and Jin Xuan is inevitable. So, how can you help your younger brother Ma Su to capture Wuling City?"

Ma Xian fell into deep thought again, remembering that this time Gong Zhi wanted to surrender Jin Xuan, which almost ruined his layout for many years. This made him feel alert and didn't want to easily use his own secret chess!

Perhaps because he has been doing business for a long time, Ma Xian has not only a person who likes to worry about gains and losses in character, but also has the characteristics of some businessmen who value profit and neglect righteousness. Because he is afraid that his business will be damaged, he dare not let go and help his younger brother make contributions!

Of course, Ma Xian is not the kind of person who completely ignores family affection. He just wants to take the opportunity to temper and inspect his younger brother to see if he is worthy of risking business damage and help him break through Wuling City!

Ma Xian made up his mind, but he couldn't tell Gong Zhi that he didn't dare to let go and help his younger brother because he was afraid that his layout would be destroyed. Therefore, he entrusted Gong Zhi to him:

"My fifth brother Youchang is free and intelligent, and has extraordinary strategies. I want to train and test him and see his military ability. So, I will stop moving first and see what he has. Maybe we don't need us to take action, and he will break Wuling City. Let's make a good idea first and come up with a perfect solution so as not to fail! When he really has no choice, we will help him. Anyway, the matter of breaking the city a few days earlier or a few days later should not affect Youchang's position in Liu Bei's army!"

When Gong Zhi heard that what Ma Xian said made sense, he nodded and said:

"Uncle often said it right. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. If you can break through Wuling County without relying on the power of others, it will be beneficial to Ling Di's growth!"

Ma Su's life was not easy in the military camp outside the city. Zhang Fei came to ask for advice every day, but for a while, there was really no good way, so he could only wait patiently for the news from his third brother, Uncle Ma Chang.

What Ma Su unexpectedly, his biological brother Ma Xian released his pigeon and sat high in Wuling City, pursuing the so-called "test!"

...

...

The two sisters Sha Qiu took Fang Shan, eight other tribal warriors and two maids to Wuling City in two four-wheeled carriages.

These two carriages, one for people, and the other for picking up goods, have very advanced structure!

This is Ma Su's second brother Ma Yong, specially made based on Ma Su's drawings. It is a gift that Ma Uncle often gave to Shamoke.

Most people really can't ride such a carriage because it drives fast and steadily, but it has high requirements for roads and is too narrow and uneven to pass.

In other words, families like Sha Qiu and others can ride in such high-end carriages.
