"The Japanese pirates and thieves have committed crimes without righteousness, so what kindness and righteousness can there be!!?"

Zhang Xiu's face was cold when he heard this, and he shouted in a cold voice.Seeing that Zhang Xiu was determined not to surrender, everyone was worried.About three or four days later, the Xitang army finally made a move.It turned out that after Pang De discussed with Gu Shao, he sent Gu Shao as an envoy to Gaochang to meet Zhang Xiu.Right now, Gu Shao came to Gaochang city and shouted loudly.

"Uncle Zhang is here!? Trouble the generals in the city to inform Gu, and say that the old man is here to meet and discuss important matters!!"

The officers and men in the city recognized Gu Shao, responded, and hurriedly told someone to report Zhang Xiu.When Zhang Xiu heard that Gu Shao asked to see him, his expression sank. After thinking for a while, he still rushed to see this former friend who had defected to the enemy and turned his back on the Lord.After a while, Zhang Xiu arrived, seeing Gu Shao, shouted loudly.

"Filial piety is to cast a thief, you and I have no love at all, you retreat quickly, and if we meet again, I will definitely kill my relatives righteously and take your life!!"

When Gu Shao heard the words, he had a bitter expression on his face, and said na na.

"Uncle, you and I have been friends for many years, how can you not know what I am like!?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his heart moved suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked closely at Gu Shao, seeing that Gu Shao had no false feelings, he cried out with joy in his heart.

"It turns out that Uncle Si has no intention of surrendering to the enemy. Uncle Si has always been resourceful and resourceful. This time he must come to offer advice to me!!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu immediately taught the sergeant to open the city gate.Gu Shao was secretly delighted, and galloped in until the enemy tower on the city came to see Zhang Xiu.After the two worshiped, Zhang Xiu drank and dismissed the crowd, leaving only him and Gu Shao in the building.Gu Shao bowed in a hurry.

"The thieves from the Western Tang Dynasty came in a menacing manner. I was unprepared for a moment. When I realized that Pang Lingming had already approached the city, he shouted that if he did not surrender, he would attack the city by force. I saw that the situation was extremely strong, and I was afraid of harming the people, so I voted first, and then looked for opportunities to escape. Now that Pang Lingming taught me to persuade my uncle to sacrifice the city. We are deeply favored by the country, and my uncle must not do it!!"

Zhang Xiu heard the words, his face turned happy, and he laughed.

"Hahaha!! Filial piety is not greedy for life and fear of death, it is not in vain for our friendship for many years!! Now, Gaochang is guarded by you and me, so why be afraid of that Pang Lingmingye!?"

"Uncle Si's words are wrong. There are dozens of siege weapons in the Xitang bandit army, called thunder cannons. This weapon is so powerful that it can break mountains and rocks. If the bandits attack with this weapon, they will only fear Gaochang The city can't last long!!"

Gu Shao's face darkened, and he said very solemnly.Zhang Xiu also heard about Hong Lei Pao, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed.

"Could this thunder cannon be the military weapon used by the thieves from the Western Tang Dynasty to break through Chengdu, the imperial capital of the Shu Han Dynasty!?"

"That's right. Uncles and heirs should be cautious!! Otherwise, we will resist and anger that Pang Lingming. Once the city is broken, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the people in the city!!"

Gu Shao nodded heavily, Zhang Xiu was startled and asked Gu Shao anxiously.

"So and so, what should I do, Xiao Ze can teach me a strategy!?"

Gu Shao's heart tightened, and he pretended to be serious, and whispered in Zhang Xiu's ear.

"Don't worry, uncle. I came here to relieve Gaochang's danger. That Pang Lingming stationed the thunder cannon and other weapons on a hillside to the east of his village. Maybe Pang Lingming saw that his uncle wanted to defend to the death. Dare not to act rashly, and did not deploy heavy troops. Why don't you send all your elite soldiers to attack tonight. If you can get these thunder cannons and use them, let alone defend Gaochang, even if you want to repel the Xitang thieves, you will not be here. Speak!!"

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed to hear the plan, and kept talking about it, and he had no doubts about Gu Shao.Gu Shao was afraid that Zhang Xiu would become suspicious, so he pretended to be sexual.

"It's not too early now, so that Pang Lingming might be suspicious, so I'll go back and report back quickly. Uncle, prepare quickly!"

After Gu Shao finished speaking, he bowed to him and wanted to leave.Zhang Xiu's face changed continuously, and he suddenly stopped Gu Shaodao.

"Filial piety is waiting!! If I succeed tonight, then Pang Lingming will know that you are the one who reported this, and he will definitely harm you!!"

"Don't worry about uncles and heirs. I, Gu Xiao, am not a person who will die. As long as I can keep Gaochang, even if I die, I will have no regrets!!"

Gu Shao shouted loudly, his face full of righteousness.Zhang Xiu's whole body trembled, he was very moved, and at the same time, his brain was spinning, and he came up with a plan in a short while, and said to Gu Shao.

"Xiao Ze doesn't have to be like this. I'll send someone to inform Pang Lingming, saying that he is willing to sacrifice the city and surrender, and the handover will be handed over the next day. And I haven't seen Xiao Ze for many days, and stay in the city for hospitality, just reminiscing about the old relationship!!"

When Gu Shao heard this, he said with great joy.

"Uncle Si's plan is very good. This will not only make Pang Lingming relax, but also save someone's life. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!!"

Zhang Xiu laughed out loud, so he wrote a letter, ordering his confidants to report to Pang De.After reading it, Pang De was overjoyed and had no doubts. He rewarded him a lot and taught him to reciprocate.When Zhang Xiu heard about it, he secretly laughed at Pound for being innocent.

So, at three o'clock at night, Zhang Xiu prepared his troops and horses, led two thousand elite soldiers, and according to the report of his caregiver Shao, he looked at the place where the Tang army had gathered their weapons, and attacked them.When Zhang Xiu arrived, he saw that the defense outside the camp was lax, with only a thousand soldiers and horses guarding it.Zhang Xiu's heart was shocked, he pulled out the treasured sword from his waist, shouted sharply, and commanded the soldiers to attack.With the sound of Zhang Xiu's order, the two thousand elite soldiers swarmed in. Seeing this, all the Tang soldiers in the camp panicked and ran away with their heads in their hands.Zhang Xiu led his troops in and quickly taught the soldiers to seize the weapons.At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly rose from all directions, the sound of beating drums shook the sky and the earth, in the darkness of night, suddenly flames burst into pieces, and how many soldiers and horses were killed outside the camp, if there were thousands of troops, It's like all the grass and trees are soldiers.

When Zhang Xiu saw it, his face turned pale with fright, not knowing what to do.At this time, those soldiers who rushed into the tent rushed out one after another, screaming, the tent was full of weeds.Zhang Xiu knew the trick, and all the soldiers panicked and panicked. They were all timid and didn't know what to do when they saw countless Tang soldiers attacking them.Zhang Xiu was the first to react, he looked crazy, shouted and withdrew his troops, and charged up his horse, intending to lead the troops to break through.Suddenly, like a lion howling, the sound moved in all directions.I saw a strong general in red armor galloping out of the place surrounded by flames and swords, and rushed towards Zhang Xiu like a lightning bolt.Zhang Xiu hastily raised his saber to meet him.The red-armored general, with round lion eyes and thick eyebrows raised up, swung his knife and slashed. With a loud bang of 'Zheng', the sword in Zhang Xiu's hand was immediately sent flying away by the red armored general.

"Zhuzi, do you know me, Pang Lingmingye!!?"

The red-armored general was Pang De, and Pang De's stern shout was deafening.Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. When he realized it, he saw Pang De stretching his lion's arm, and he wanted to catch him.Zhang Xiu couldn't dodge in time, and with a cry of surprise, he was captured by Pang De.Seeing that Zhang Xiu was captured, Zhang Xiu rushed to rescue him.Pound smashed Zhang Xiu to the ground, and Tang Bing rushed up behind him, and Zhang Xiu was tied up in an instant.

"Admiral of the Five Lions of the Western Tang Dynasty, Pang Lingming is here!! Your general Zhang Shusi has been captured, and this place is surrounded by our army. Why don't you surrender quickly!!"

At this time, Zhang Xiu was still relentless, yelling and yelling, calling for his deployment to fight to the death and fight for righteousness.Zhang Xiu deployed and saw countless Tang soldiers gathered around one after another. All of them had cold faces, well-equipped and sharp weapons. Under the firelight, there was a chilling light, so no one dared to fight.Seeing that Zhang Xiu was captured again, the crowd had no intention of fighting, so they all abandoned their arms and knelt down, shouting and surrendering.Zhang Xiu looked crazy and kept yelling and cursing.Pound stared, turned his horse and shouted at Zhang Xiu!

"If the state of Wu can still be preserved and the people can live in peace and well-being, it is still reasonable for you to serve your loyalty and teach the troops to fight to the end!! The local people are in dire straits, even if the armies fight to the death, they will die in vain!! You Zhang Shusi is just a reckless man who doesn't know the current affairs!!"

Pang De's words were like a slap in the face, Zhang Xiu vented his anger, seeing the lonely and gloomy expressions of the soldiers of the self army, he was speechless for a while.Pang De snorted coldly, then taught several officers and soldiers to collect all the prisoners and monitor them in the camp.Then Pang De led the rest of the soldiers and rushed to Gaochang with Zhang Xiu.On the way, Zhang Xiu suddenly shouted.

"Pang Lingming, you captured me, but if you want to use me as a threat to force the soldiers in Gaochang City to submit, you are wishful thinking!!"

Hearing this, Pang De turned his horse to look, and said calmly.

"Now Gaochang City has fallen into the hands of our army, why should I bother!?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his complexion changed drastically. A thought popped up suddenly, and then quickly suppressed. He still didn't believe it, and kept yelling and cursing.Pang De ignored it, and led his troops to the foot of Gaochang City. Sure enough, under the light of the torches on the city, the flags fluttering in the wind were all the flags of the Western Tang Dynasty.Ma Dai, Gu Shao and the others were all waiting outside the enemy building in the city, and when they saw Pang De leading the troops coming, they shouted loudly.When Zhang Xiu saw this, he was startled and angry, and suddenly his face became ferocious, and he shouted desperately to Gu Shao in the city.

"Gu Xiaoze, you treacherous traitor who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, I will turn into a ghost, and I will never forgive you~~!!!!"

Zhang Xiu's intelligence is not low, and he had vaguely guessed that it was related to Gu Shao earlier, but he still didn't believe it when he thought of the friendship between the two for many years and Gu Shao's daily life.Now, with the facts in front of his eyes, Zhang Xiu was filled with resentment and regret, as if he wanted to tear Gu Shao, an old friend, into pieces.Gu Shao's expression was sad, he was speechless after being so insulted by Zhang Xiu.

It turned out that Gu Shao followed Ma Dai's plan and cheated Zhang Xiu, and then stayed in the city as an internal response.As soon as Zhang Xiu led his troops to go, Gu Shao secretly discussed with the officials in the city to clarify his interests.Although everyone had the heart to dedicate the city, they were all very angry when they heard that Gu Shao had framed Zhang Xiu in this way, and they wanted to kill Gu Shao on the spot to vent their hatred.Gu Shao was also amazing, he remained calm in the face of danger, and explained to everyone that he dared to guarantee with his life that Pang De would never hurt Zhang Xiu's life.After hearing this, everyone believed that Gu Shao was like a turtle in a urn.At this time, there was a sudden cry of killing outside the city, and it was Ma Dai who led his troops to kill.The officials and soldiers in Gaochang were all shocked, and suddenly they heard the report from the sergeant that someone sacrificed the east gate, and the Western Tang army had already entered the city in a large scale.

Gu Shao was not surprised, because the general who offered the East Gate was the one he bought earlier.At this point, a group of Gaochang officials and soldiers saw that the situation was over, and they had no choice but to surrender one after another.Ma Dai led troops into the city and quickly stabilized the situation.Soon after, Pound led his troops to arrive.All the Gaochang officials and soldiers in the city felt relieved when they saw that Pang De did not harm Zhang Xiu.

After a while, Pang De led his troops into the city.Gu Shao and a group of civil and military officials from Gaochang came to persuade Zhang Xiu.Gu Shao earnestly analyzed the situation to Zhang Xiu,

It is said that if the people in southern Wu want to restore the past and live and work in peace and contentment, they can only seek refuge in the Western Tang Dynasty.Gu Shao was extremely intelligent, organized, and analyzed with Zhang Xiu in detail. Wei Kou might win the battle of Wubei in the end.The country will be destroyed, so I implore Zhang Xiu to consider the people in southern Wu and descend to the Western Tang Dynasty.In the end, Zhang Xiu seemed to understand the truth and surrendered to Xitang.Pang De was overjoyed that both Gu Shao and Zhang Xiu received heavy rewards, and he used them extremely highly, teaching them to stabilize the hearts of the people in Guiyang and Luling.Gu Shao and Zhang Xiu were very grateful and tried their best to help each other.

Just as Guiyang and Luling were gradually calmed down, one day, scouts came to report that Jiang Wei, General Jinpeng of the Great Wei Dynasty, had led [-] soldiers and horses to attack, and his army had killed tens of miles to the north of Gaochang City.When Pang De heard the news, his expressions changed, and Gu Shao and Zhang Xiu's expressions changed drastically. Their bodies trembled violently, and their faces were full of grief.Wei Kou sent troops to attack. It seems that the battle in Wubei has come to an end.
