The capital is Nanzheng.

In the mansion, after Zhang Lu received the news that Baocheng was breached and all Ma Chao's family members were looted, his resentment and suspicion towards Ma Chao increased even more.

"Why did the enemy troops appear in the rear? Could it be that Ma Chao and Liu Bei have colluded with each other?"

Zhang Lu's face was full of suspicion at this moment.

It's no wonder that he thinks so. Yang Song mentioned before that if there was no connection between the two, how could Liu Beijun reach the Hanzhong border quietly?

And just when he was suspicious, the guards outside the mansion came to report again, and the meritorious Cao Yan Pu asked to see him.

After entering the mansion, without waiting for Zhang Lu to ask, Yan Pu hurriedly raised his hand and asked: "Master, who made the suggestion to detain Ma Chao and his family members?"

After he finished speaking, looking at the serious look on his face, Zhang Lusui responded slowly: "This is what the military advisor suggested."

"My military advisor told me before that Ma Chao may have secretly colluded with Liu Bei, so he used his family to coerce him into tackling the problem."

"Daren, is there any problem?"

The words fell after a while.

Yan Pu shouted almost without hesitation: "Master Fu, Yang Song should be beheaded!"

"Hmm? Daren, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing the anger on his face at this moment, Zhang Lu was also a little puzzled, so he asked.

Hearing this, Yan Pu was no longer calm at this time, and explained straight away: "Master Fu, you should know, Jiameng, Baishui is the gateway to Sichuan, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"I heard that Liu Bei also personally proposed the main reinforcements for Jiameng. Even if Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, he will not be able to achieve success in a short time."

"But Yang Song is making trouble in front of the prince, spreading rumors that Ma Chao wants to rebel and betray the prince."

"This person's heart is not right!"

After saying that, he paused and analyzed sharply again: "Now that Ma Chao and his subordinates' family members have been detained without reason, isn't this a clear attempt to force Ma Chao to rebel?"

"This man is usually extremely greedy. Ruopu's guess is correct. He must have been secretly bribed by Liu Bei and came here to report rumors to the Lord."

One word fell.

Zhang Lu thought for a while, and then he quickly came to his senses, and he quickly said in annoyance: "Daren, what can you do to remedy what I see now?"

Hearing this, Yan Pu pondered for a long time before he handed over his hand and said: "At present, all the family members of Ma Chao's family have been plundered by Liu Bei's army. At this moment, we have lost the opportunity."

"If Ma Chao leads his troops to surrender to Liu Bei at this time, we will not even have the capital to threaten him."

After thinking for a while, he suggested: "Pu suggested that this news should be blocked immediately so that Ma Chao would not know that his family members had fallen into Liu Bei's army. Then the emperor would quickly send people to the front line to comfort him and stabilize Ma Chao."

"Now that things have come to a point, I may have no choice but to act this way."

The situation was so passive, Zhang Lu also said helplessly.

And while the two were talking.

The guard hurriedly rushed into the palace and reported: "Qi... Qi... to report to the palace, according to the battle report from the front line, it is said that after Liu Bei's army retreats from Baocheng, the plank road leading to Jiameng Pass will be blocked."

They were all burned down.”

"What?"

As soon as this battle report came, Zhang Lu suddenly showed an incredible look on his face.

"What happened..."

"Daren, what's wrong?"

"Master Fu, the enemy has burned down all the plank roads leading to Jiameng Pass. This has cut off the connection between our army and Ma Chao, as well as the supplies for his army."

"Ma Chao's troops are now alone."

"Next, Liu Bei will definitely send people to recruit Ma Chao. If he doesn't surrender, I'm afraid the final outcome will be to be completely annihilated."

Yan Pu looked calm at this moment and slowly analyzed the situation.

Hearing that the situation was so serious for his own side, Zhang Lu could no longer hold his breath. He looked a little flustered and asked quickly:

"I wonder if Daren has a good strategy to break the situation?"

After finishing his words, Yan Pu could only hold up his hands and said: "Now, the only way is to gather troops out of Yangping Pass again in order to conquer Baishui Pass. Otherwise, our army will have no way to enter Sichuan."

"It's just that the terrain of Baishui Pass is more steep than that of Jiameng Pass. Now I'm afraid that only by using Pound can we have a chance to break through Baishui."

Following Yan Pu's words, Zhang Lu also realized the seriousness of the matter.

At this moment, he also made a decision quickly.

The plan has been decided.

Zhang Lu first put Yang Song in prison.

Later, people were sent to put the Yang family under surveillance to prevent them from collaborating with the enemy again.

After everything is resolved.

Zhang Lu personally met with Pang De and said: "What happened before was because Lu mistakenly followed the advice of the traitor Yang Song and did this stupid thing. I hope General Pang will not care about it."

"You must also understand the situation. Now General Ma Mengqi's army is alone."

"If our army wants to rescue them, they can only break through Baishui Pass."

"If the barrier cannot be broken, the general's wife and children will not be rescued."

Since we still need to rely on Pound's courage, Zhang Lu also apologized sincerely.

As soon as the words were said, Pang De naturally understood what Zhang Lu meant, and he needed to do his best to break through.

"Please be at ease, Mr. Fu, your virtue will certainly live up to your mission!"

Look at Pang De, an eight-foot strong man from Xiliang, patting his chest and answering the order loudly.

Only then did Zhang Lu feel relieved, so he ordered his younger brother Zhang Wei to be the chief general and Pang De to be his deputy. He once again led 20,000 ghost troops to march out of Yangping Pass and attack Baishui Pass.

…

And just when Hanzhong heard that the situation was unfavorable, they made extensive arrangements.

At this moment, Li Hui had taken the initiative to ask for an envoy and went to the Hanzhong Army Camp.

Camp room.

At this time, Ma Chao had already driven away all the generals of the Hanzhong Army, leaving only Ma Dai and a group of close associates in the tent.

"You are here at the moment when the two armies are fighting, but you want to be a lobbyist?"

Ma Chao was at the top and said with an extremely fierce look on his face.

Hearing this, Li Hui did not panic at all and responded with a smile on his face: "What the general said is true. Hui came here specifically to persuade the general to surrender and lead his troops to submit to the emperor."

"Really? As a lobbyist, I must have heard the story about Li Shiqi's mission to Qi State. Sir, would you like to try it?"

In one word.

However, facing Ma Chao's threat, Li Hui smiled and said: "The general wants to kill me, but it's just a snap of his fingers!"

"But I am just a small person. If you die, you will die. It is not important at all."

"It's just that if I can't get out of the military camp, I'm afraid the general will die soon, right?"

"Haha!" Hearing this, Ma Chao sneered and said coldly: "With my bravery, who can stop me?"

"Why should the general deceive himself?"

"Even if the general can live in peace with his bravery, when the war begins, will the general have the heart to let the Xiliang cavalry that has been following you for a long time be destroyed here?"

The two had a series of conversations.

Seeing that his threats had no effect at all, and Li Hui was still brave and unchanging, he suddenly changed his face, laughed and treated him as a guest of honor.

Following Ma Chao's behavior.
