"Brother Xuan, why are you here late at night?"

Inviting him to sit down, Hao Pu asked him calmly.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Deng Xuanzhi's face, and he said slowly: "It's been a long time since I last saw Brother Zi. I'm here to visit you tonight."

"Huh? Xuanzhi still refuses to tell the truth, so please do it yourself!"

After saying this, Hao Pu sat and watched and then wanted to get up and leave, waving his hand.

"Brother Zi, what does this mean?"

"Since you call me brother, but you still refuse to explain your purpose, then why is there any need to talk about it?"

"Besides, Quanling City has been besieged by the Wu army for a long time. How can we enter the city safely?"

"If nothing goes wrong, Xuan Zhi may have surrendered to the Wu army, right?"

As soon as Jiji finished speaking, a serious look suddenly appeared on Hao Pu's face.

It seems that the purpose of the visit has been discovered!

Deng Xuanzhi also knew that the performance could not continue. He pondered for a while, then smiled and agreed: "Brother Zi Tai, what you said is true. The wise brother has indeed surrendered to the Wu army and is now taking orders under General Lu's tent."

"This time I entered the city very late at night to persuade my brother to open the city and surrender!"

One word fell.

Suddenly, Hao Pu looked furious and said, "What, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death that you surrender to Wu Gou?"

"Even if you are afraid of death, you still have the nerve to act as a lobbyist for Wu Jun to persuade me to surrender?"

"Haha!" As soon as he said this, Deng Xuanzhi's face remained calm and he said slowly: "Brother Zi Tai, you should not get angry first, right?"

"My younger brother is far less talented than my elder brother, but he is still entrusted with important responsibilities after surrendering to General Lu. If my elder brother is willing to surrender and contribute to the city, he will still be treated well by the Marquis of Wu even in Wu Camp."

"Wouldn't this be better than being trapped in an isolated city now?"

"Oh? So what if we are trapped in an isolated city? Do you think General Guan will abandon Lingling and ignore it?"

"Hahaha~"

As soon as he said this, Deng Xuanzhi burst into laughter.

After a long time, he said: "It turns out that Brother Zi Tai still has a sense of luck and thinks that reinforcements will definitely arrive?"

"Then I might have to reveal the truth and disappoint my brother."

"There will no longer be reinforcements from Jingzhou in Lingling County."

"You are talking nonsense. How can you deceive me with the words of such a villain?"

"Brother Zi Tai, don't believe it?"

After saying this, Deng Xuanzhi pretended to slap his forehead and said in surprise: "Oh, Quanling City has been besieged recently. My brother has cut off contact with the outside world. Maybe he doesn't know that the main army of Guan Yunchang's command has been blocked and Yiyang has gone north.

Can't make any progress."

"General Lu brought an army several times his own to the city. The reason why he delayed launching a strong attack was because he did not want to start the war lightly and cause the soldiers and people in the city to be devastated by the war."

"General Lu's patience has been exhausted. If brother Zi Tai still insists on not surrendering, then once the soldiers of the Wu army launch a strong attack, do you think the weak defenders in the city can resist it?"

"Brother Zi Tai insists on fighting stubbornly. Once the city is defeated, the city will inevitably become restless, war will break out, and the people will be displaced."

A few words were spoken slowly.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Xuanzhi's expression became more and more serious, and his tone suddenly changed, and he sharply accused:

"Brother Zitai is a local official in Lingling. Are you willing to see the people in the city destroy their families and scatter their wives and children just for your own selfish interests, brother?"

"Brother, will you not feel guilty when the time comes?"

"Even if you don't care about the people, your brother has an old mother to serve him, and a wife and children below him. You can choose to be loyal to him, but who will be able to support them in the future?"

An extremely solemn word fell.

After Deng Xuanzhi finished speaking, he stretched out his eyes to observe the expression on his face.

After hearing this, Hao Pu's complexion suddenly turned cold and he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said sternly: "If you want me to surrender, unless you agree to several of my conditions, I would rather defend the city!"

"Brother Zi Tai, please tell me that General Lu has always admired your talent. I think there will be no problem."

Seeing that Hao Pu's heart was gradually wavering, Deng Xuanzhi also observed his words and emotions, and immediately added fuel to the fire.

"First, after the Wu army enters the city, they cannot harass my relatives."

"Secondly, when the Wu army takes control of Lingling, they must not disturb the people in the county or plunder the people wantonly. Military discipline must be strictly restrained."

"Thirdly, even if I surrender the city, I still need to hold on to the seal and ribbon of Lingling County and continue to be the governor of Lingling."

After these words were slowly revealed, Hao Pucai said with great solemnity: "Please return to the camp and tell Lu Meng that if you can agree to these conditions, I will surrender the city immediately."

"Okay, since Brother Zi Tai has this intention, General Lu will not embarrass you. I will return immediately to report."

After saying that, Deng Xuanzhi immediately handed over his hands and left.

After they retreated, Zhao Tong and Ma Di slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"General Zhao, how do you think you will respond next?"

Hearing this, a thick smile appeared on Zhao Tong's face, and he waved his hand and praised: "Hao Taishou, your acting skills tonight are very realistic. I think even if this person reciprocates, Lu Meng will not be able to detect any clues."

"All subsequent matters will be left to the future."

"Here."

Everything is settled.

…

As Deng Xuanzhi returned quickly late at night, he truthfully reported the news.

Lu Meng thought deeply about it day and night.

Early next morning.

Just then the generals were summoned for a military meeting.

Lu Meng slowly informed that today he would be able to take over the capital Quanling peacefully.

The generals were naturally delighted.

Who is willing to risk their lives to attack if they can avoid fighting?

But at this time, Jiang Qin, who was on one side, couldn't help but raise his hand and remind: "General, could this be the enemy's plan to invite you to the urn?"

As soon as this statement came out, without waiting for Lu Meng to respond, Deng Xuanzhi from the side rushed to reply: "General Gongyi, please don't worry about this matter!"

"When I entered the city last night to persuade Hao Pu to surrender, I observed carefully that apart from the original county soldiers, there were only temporarily recruited young men in the city."

"With such a weak force, even if we pretend to surrender, what can we do?"

"As soon as the city gate opens, the situation is decided!"

"What Xuanzhi said is absolutely true. Gongyi, you are too cautious. According to the military information obtained by the scouts who have been scattered around in recent days, there is no sign of Jingzhou reinforcements coming to the area around Quanling."

"Then Hao Pu alone can't do any tricks."

Looking at Lu Meng, he responded with the same assurance.

Jiang Qin just regained his vigilance and stopped talking.

Under the city.

At this time, the Wu army formed a formation here, and all the formations were neat and uniform. Tens of thousands of troops covered the sky with flags, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was high.

Deng Xuanzhi rode out of the battle first and went to the city to shout: "Brother Zi Tai, General Lu has fully agreed to your proposal and is now leading his troops to take over the city."

"I hope we can open the city soon!"

After a while, the words fell.
Chapter completed!
