The plan has been decided.

In order to ensure that the plank road could be burned successfully, Liu Bei still ordered Zhao Tong and Chen Dao to lead Bai'er's elite troops, and once again selected hundreds of elite men from the army.

Wei Yan was also ordered to lead his troops out to challenge the enemy camp to attract the attention of the Hanzhong army. After Chen arrived, Zhao Tong just led his troops to leave quietly.

Time passes day by day.

The two armies then started a confrontation at the pass.

Because Ma Chao had not sent back the good news for a long time, when the information reached Nanzheng, the capital, it also made Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, extremely angry.

County government.

Zhang Lu had a frontline battle report spread out in his hand, staring closely at the scout who was kneeling on the ground in the hall, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Isn't Ma Chao extremely arrogant on weekdays? He often talked about how he killed Weibin and Prime Minister Cao cut off his beard and discarded his robe. Why can't he even take down a mere Jiameng Pass now?"

"What on earth is he doing?"

The angry shouts one after another were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the overwhelming curses made the scouts dare not even speak out.

He cursed angrily for a while, until the guards outside the mansion came to report: "For your information, Master Yang, Military Advisor Yang is meeting you outside the mansion."

"Oh? Quickly declare him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard quickly retreated. After a moment, a man with a length of seven feet and a slightly cunning man walked calmly into the palace. He cupped his hands and said, "Song Jianfu Lord."

"I wonder what the important business is for the military advisor to come here at this time?"

Hearing this, Yang Song looked serious and said solemnly: "I heard that the Lord is worried about the war on the front line, and Song is here for this matter!"

"Oh, does the military advisor have any good ideas?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Song deliberately leaned close to him and whispered in his ear: "Master Fu, according to the battle reports that Song inquired about, the reason why General Ma was unable to attack Jiameng Pass for a long time was not because the city was easy to defend.

It’s difficult to attack, but there are actually other factors!”

Hearing this, Zhang Lu suddenly looked shocked and said in a low voice: "What's the reason?"

"I heard that Ma Chao was secretly in contact with Liu Bei and led his troops to surrender. That's why the Jiameng Pass has been delayed for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Song said calmly.

When Zhang Lu heard this, he became furious instantly, with countless anger accumulating in his chest.

He was about to vent his anger when Yang Song waved his hand and said: "Master Fu, Song has a plan that may enable Ma Chao to attack the problem with all his strength without having any objections."

"What's the plan?"

"Detain Ma Chao himself and the family members of his men, escort them to the front line of Baocheng, and then give Ma Chao a warning. If he cannot break through the barrier within ten days, he will be killed!"

Yang Song said with an extremely fierce expression at this moment.

"Including Pound?"

Hearing this, Yang Song nodded solemnly and responded: "Your Majesty, Pang De is no less brave than Ma Chao. He took his family members as hostages."

"If Ma Chao surrenders regardless of all odds, the Lord of the Palace will pardon his wife and children to win his heart. Pang De will definitely be grateful to the Lord of the Palace and swear allegiance to you to the death."

"In this way, wouldn't it be easy for Fujun to capture a powerful general?"

The words fell one after another.

Zhang Lu nodded in agreement.

"What the military advisor said is absolutely true, so act accordingly."

Having said that, Zhang Lu and Yang Song quickly reached a consensus.

And when news of this incident reached the Hanzhong Army camp outside Jiameng Pass.

Ma Chao stood up and slapped the desk in two with one palm. He became furious and shouted: "Who framed me?"

Seeing his brother's angry expression, Ma Dai couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Yang Song has always been at odds with you. It must be this treacherous villain who spread rumors in front of Zhang Lu to slander my brother."

"Yang Song..."

After hearing what Ma Dai said, Ma Chao looked ferocious and gritted his teeth.

Looking at his face, it seemed that if Yang Song were in front of him, he would be torn to pieces.

"Brother, now that all our family members and I are being detained in Bao City, why not let Dai lead a group of people to sneak into the city to rescue them. After being rescued, we can directly surrender to Liu Bei. How about that?"

After Ma Chao's anger gradually subsided, Ma Dai tentatively made some suggestions.

When he finished speaking, Ma Chao waved his hand to stop and said: "Order all the ministries to take their positions and begin the attack on the city tomorrow. Strictly order all ministries. If they cannot break through the barrier within ten days, the generals above the garrison general will carry out their duties according to military law."

"Brother?"

Seeing Ma Chao giving the order, Ma Dai's face was full of suspicion and asked: "Brother, Zhang Lu listened to the villain and framed us, why do you still want to serve him?"

However, Ma Chao waved his hand to stop and said: "Since Zhang Lu has detained his family members, he will definitely send troops to monitor them vigorously. When we return with our troops, we will definitely be discovered."

"At that time, the truth will be revealed to Yang Song, and he will have a legitimate excuse to attack my family members. This will harm them."

After saying that, Ma Chao breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "We will work hard to attack the key first, and we will make a decision after we capture Jiameng and welcome our family back home."

Now that he had said this, Ma Daisui no longer hesitated and immediately went down to issue orders to tackle the problem.

Originally, the two sides had been facing off for more than ten days.

At this moment, the Hanzhong Army once again launched an attack on Jiameng Pass, and the intensity of the attack was even greater than before.

only.

The terrain of Jiameng Pass is steep, and now Liu Bei has personally appointed the main force to be stationed here.

Even if the various units of the Hanzhong Army were not afraid of death, they still could not shake Guancheng.

The deadline of more than ten days is gradually passing.

On the plank road not far from Baocheng, Chen Dao and Zhao Tong were stationed here, seemingly waiting for news.

After a long time, the scouts quickly returned.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong's expression changed and he quickly asked: "How is the situation?"

This has just been said.

The scout didn't have time to breathe, so he immediately handed over his hands and reported truthfully: "Deputy Commander, according to repeated investigations by the little men, Ma Chao and his family members have all been detained in Baocheng Prison."

"Okay! You go down and have a rest first."

After the scouts were dismissed, Zhao Tong showed joy, turned his head and said to Chen Dao who was walking by: "Uncle Chen, it seems that the plan has been successful."

"Next, let's proceed as planned, right?"

"good!"

After the two agreed, they led an army to leave separately.

Next.

Wuxiang City was suddenly attacked.

Since Baocheng was responsible for guarding the families of Ma Chao and others, the defenders were transferred from Wuxiang to strengthen Baocheng's defense strength in the past two days.

Now they suddenly encountered a fierce attack from Zhao's headquarters. The intensity of the attack put Wuxiang's defenders under great pressure, so they quickly sent people to move reinforcements.

After the messenger arrived in Baocheng to report the news, the defender of Baocheng immediately dispatched most of his main force to assist, fearing that Wuxiang might suffer losses.

But when the reinforcements were on their way, unexpectedly, Chen Dao had already led the white-eared elite troops to ambush in the middle of the road.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Tong also came with his troops to intercept.

After a fierce battle, Zhao Tong and Chen Dao led their troops to defeat Baocheng's reinforcements. Then they disguised themselves as the Hanzhong army and deceived Baocheng. They entered the city and rescued all the family members of Ma Chao's family before abandoning the city and leaving.
