Shen Dan's suggestion fell through.

After all the family heads thought about it for a while, they all felt that it made sense.

"What Master Shen said is absolutely true!"

"I heard that the man who led the army to attack the three eastern counties was Zhao Tong, the son of Zhao Zilong from Changshan. This man defeated Nanzhong and defeated Wu general Lu Meng. Now he is taking advantage of our surrender."

"The soldiers suddenly surrounded our manor."

"This person is definitely not someone to be underestimated!"

"We still have to be extremely careful and not act rashly, lest we fall into their trap."

I heard some analysis from Shen Dan.

Then some slightly more stable family heads gave words of advice.

These family heads had been in a panic and clamored to leave the city to expel the enemy troops.

That's just worrying about the safety of your own family!

Now after hearing some words, my mood has gradually calmed down.

Naturally, you won't act so impulsively.

As everyone reaches a consensus.

The envoy sent by Shen Dan went to the official road first and met Zhao Tong in the main formation as promised.

"The villain pays homage to the general!"

"Oh? You have come to meet with me. Do you have anything important to do?"

Zhao Tong pretended not to know.

Hearing this, the man did not beat around the bush, but said bluntly: "General, I came here specifically to pay homage to you on the orders of Governor Shen."

"The governor has ordered all the troops in Shangyong to surrender to your army. We can only take over the city after the general leads his troops to the city."

"But I don't know why your army suddenly sent troops to besiege our manors and other families."

"The county governor specially sent a villain to inquire about this matter. What is the general's intention?"

The words fell slowly.

Although the messenger did not break out in his words, he still spoke calmly.

But there was a vague hint of questioning in his tone.

Hearing this, Zhao Tongshi felt a little unfriendly on his face.

I wanted to get angry and yell back.

But when Ma Su from the side saw this, he immediately stopped him with his eyes.

Zhao Tong understood immediately.

Immediately, he showed an extremely kind face and responded with a smile: "Oh, that's what sir was talking about!"

"It's like this. When our army was on the march, we encountered a caravan on the way. The leader of the caravan reported an important message to this general."

"It seems that there are thieves making trouble outside the city of Shangyong County."

"As soon as I heard about this matter, I thought that if it was not dealt with as soon as possible, it would inevitably affect the lives of many people in the surrounding areas!"

"So I sent my troops to station outside the city in advance to frighten the thieves."

"When the matter was urgent, I might not have discussed it with Governor Shen in time, which caused a misunderstanding between our two families!"

"How about I hope that Sir can return quickly and report the matter to Governor Shen truthfully to resolve the conflict between the two armies?"

Look at Zhao Tongyi explaining to himself with a kind face.

That face is as lifelike as it gets.

But this matter has already provoked them to the top of their heads.

How could the messenger believe his one-sided words?

"Oh, it turns out there was a misunderstanding between the two armies. The villain will quickly return to the city to report the matter to Governor Shen."

"Lest our two families fight and harm the harmony."

After saying this, the messenger responded with a smile on his face.

The main task of his trip was to find out the truth.

Then return quickly to report.

Even if we see through the enemy's tactics at this moment, it is definitely not the time to pursue the case.

After saying goodbye.

The messenger quickly rode away from this place of trouble and trouble!

"Just let this person go?"

"I'm afraid this person is not sent by Shen Dan to question him, but he takes the opportunity to go out of the city to find out the reality of our army, right?"

"General, how could you let him go so easily?"

Look at Zhao Tong's actions.

Ma Di, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise his hands and ask.

"Since he came out of the city to find out what's true, how can we make the family heads in the city feel at ease if we don't let him go?"

"The general has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Seeing the inexplicable look of confidence on Zhao Tong's face at this moment, Ma Di understood what he was thinking and said something.

Since there is no problem with this matter.

That is still being implemented as planned.

The various units of the main formation were still slowly advancing towards the city.

Zhao Tong also quietly sent several waves of scouts to follow the envoy and rush to Ma Zhong and Liu Yin's place.

However, the envoy found nothing unusual at all.

Soon we returned to the city.

Go straight to the county government.

"How? What's the status of the enemy's troops?"

"To report to Grand Administrator Shen, dear family heads, according to my investigation, the main formation under Zhao Tong does not have much military strength. Their main troops are now gathered in the surrounding manors."

"As long as we can annihilate the enemy soldiers around the city first, even if Zhao Tong comes in person, there will be nothing we can do!"

In one word.

The family heads also regained their confidence at this moment.

"Prefect Shen, it seems that God is helping me!"

"The enemy general was so careless that he deployed all his troops to the front line."

"Then our army only needs to attack with the whole army, besiege the enemy's main formation in one fell swoop, and capture the enemy's general. Wouldn't it mean that the enemy's army will be in chaos?"

In a blink of an eye, the head of the family came up with a good idea.

But think about it.

But there was a family leader who seemed to have a good plan, and immediately retorted: "No, no, no, this plan is too risky. If we and our troops cannot go all out to break the enemy's main formation."

"Once the enemy forces bring the war to a stalemate."

"The enemy troops stationed outside the surrounding manors can then choose to attack the rear of our army together, or take the opportunity to seize the city!"

"No matter what it is, it is absolutely unbearable for us!"

The words fall here.

Shen Dan couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"

Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family paused, and then made a serious suggestion: "Since the enemy's main formation does not have many troops, I suggest that some of the armed forces be deployed to intercept and delay the attack."

"And the rest of the armed forces gathered together to attack the enemy at the manor outside the city, taking the opportunity to wipe out the main force of the enemy in one fell swoop, even if the enemy's main formation was lucky enough to escape."

"We will have no worries!"

This is all said and done.

Everyone thought deeply for a while.

They all agreed one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Dan also sent people to Fancheng urgently to report the developments here to Cao Ren.

He originally hoped to bring his troops to Liu Bei's side on the spot.

But now it seems.
