    Suddenly, someone came to report, and Liu Bei sent an envoy.  When Pan Feng heard this, he urgently summoned an envoy to see him.  After a while, the envoy entered the palace, paid homage, and then reported the war in Xichuan.  When everyone in the palace heard that Zhuge Liang had been defeated by Pang Tong and Xu Shu one after another, they all looked horrified, and everyone looked incredulous.  It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has been able to turn the tide no matter what kind of crisis he is in. He can win more with less and never lose, just like a god.  Now that they have been defeated one after another, it's like hearing a tiger being eaten by a wolf. The impossible has happened.

    Pan Feng stood up angrily, with a look of impatience on his face.  Fazheng quickly stopped him and signaled Pan Feng to wait patiently for the messenger to finish speaking.  The envoy then explained Zhuge Liang's military order.  But Pan Feng heard that Zhuge Liang had ordered that if Xiangyang's power reached its extreme, he could abandon it and return to Xichuan.  Pan Feng suddenly realized that the war in Xichuan was not optimistic at this time.

    Pan Fengfeng narrowed her eyes, with a look of horror on her face, and looked back at the crowd of His Highness.

    "The military advisor is more intelligent than the demon. There are more than 100,000 elite soldiers guarding Xichuan this time, and Ma Mengqi is also supporting the southern barbarians. In terms of military strength, the difference between the two armies is not huge. How can the military advisor be defeated consecutively?  , putting Xichuan in such a dangerous situation!"

    As soon as Pan Feng said this, everyone was thinking deeply.  Only Fazheng seemed to have made some guesses, shaking his head and sighing.  Pan Feng saw him and asked him quickly.  Fazheng looked back at the surroundings.  Pan Feng realized this and first rewarded the envoy heavily, then ordered the sergeants in the palace to take him to rest, and then ordered a group of people to disperse.  After a while, there were only five people left in the palace: Fazheng, Ma Liang, Erkuai and Pan Feng.  These people are all loyal people and have absolutely no different intentions.  Fa Zheng's expression condensed, and he informed Zhuge Liang of his suspicions about Ma Chao.  When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise when they learned that Ma Chao had such ambitions.  Kuai Liang shook his head and sighed.

    "When I heard that Ma Mengqi had entered the barbarian realm, I felt a little uneasy. But I didn't expect that this person really had evil intentions!!"

    "Hmph. Ma Mengqi has great ambitions, so he must have some reservations. In this way, the Western Tang Dynasty will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and our Xichuan army and horses will be implicated. No wonder the military advisor will also be defeated!!"

    Kuai Yue then echoed.  Pan Feng's face turned darker and darker as he heard this, and shouted angrily.

    "Ma Mengqi!! If I go back to Xichuan, I will definitely make him look good!!!"

    "Pan Gong calms down his anger for the time being. If what you have predicted is correct, the military advisor must have made arrangements. Pan Gong does not need to be too conceited. He only needs to follow the military advisor's orders and try his best to protect Xiangyang. If the situation is extremely powerful, he will abandon it as ordered. At this moment, Pan Pan  The Duke can plan ahead and secretly transport the baggage in the city in batches to prepare for his withdrawal. "

    Ma Liang's face was calm and he looked extremely calm.  Pan Feng nodded heavily.  At this moment, suddenly there was another loud shout outside the city. It turned out that Cao Cao had sent troops to persuade the people to surrender.  Pan Feng's complexion suddenly became so dark that it was like dripping water.  Pan Feng looked a little impatient and asked quickly.

    "Wei people persuade the people. If the people find out that we are pulling out food, something will happen. What can we do!?"

    As soon as Pan Feng said this, Fazheng, Ma Liang and others were at a loss for ideas.  Kuai Yue spoke.

    "Since the military advisor has issued an order, you must not disobey it. Pan Gong can teach the soldiers to act cautiously, and don't let the people notice it."

    "After hearing this, Pan Feng felt helpless, so he followed this for the time being.

    But it was said that Wei soldiers were shouting outside the city, and there was no movement among the people in the city for the time being.  At night, Wei soldiers would approach the city gate from time to time, shoot arrows one after another, and then retreat.  The Shu soldiers on the city couldn't react in time.  Many soldiers found arrows, and each arrow had a secret message embedded in it. The letter said that anyone who offered a gift would be made a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and rewarded with a thousand gold coins.  It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.  After some discussion, several Shu generals rushed to report to Pan Feng.  Pan Feng was shocked when he heard this. He quickly taught the sergeant to recover the arrows and if any common people had obtained them, he immediately advised them to hand them back.  Even so, many people also picked up arrows and kept them secretly.

    Pan Feng was restless day and night, and for the time being he did not dare to teach the sergeants how to transport food.  Wei Bing continued like this for several days.  There seemed to be an uneasy haze hanging over the city.  There are many people from three religions and nine streams in the city here, who often gather together to discuss something.  When Pan Feng heard about it, he quickly instructed Kuai Yue to lead troops to patrol the city. If he saw anyone with evil intentions, he would immediately imprison him.  Kuai Yue enforced the law strictly and arrested nearly hundreds of people in a few days.  When the people in the city heard this, they became even more panicked and uneasy.  Let us say that there is a large family in Xiangyang City.  The owner¡¯s name is Lin Hui.  This man came from a humble background, but he had some strength. When he was young, he gathered dozens of idle men who bullied the people in the city. He was often hired by noble families to do some sneaky and evil things.  Later, Lin Hui gradually gained a lot of property and had more and more people under his command. In addition, this man was thoughtful and quite intelligent, so he took refuge in a lonely family in the city as his guest.  Lin Hui was quite capable, and with his support, this lonely family prospered in the past three years.  In order to win over Lin Hui, the head of the family even married his daughter to him.  Lin Hui quickly turned around and gained a glorious reputation.  As Lin Hui's power grew stronger and stronger, he naturally became greedy, so he designed and killed Lin Hui.The old head of the family occupied his family's property.  At this point, "Han Shimou Chapter 117 Seeking Wealth and Honor in Danger" Lin Hui has become the most well-known figure in Xiangyang City.  A few days ago, servants of Lin Hui's family picked up several arrows with secret messages embedded in them.  The contents of the letters are all the same.  Lin Hui was very happy when he saw Cao Cao promising a heavy reward.  At that moment, Lin Hui discussed with the four kings under his command.

    "The king of Wei, Cao Cao, dominates half the world. How can Pan Wushuang be his rival? Although Pan Wushuang promised to protect Xiangyang before, I think it was empty talk! Now Xiangyang City is an isolated city, and Pan Wushuang is just  If we keep defending, we will be defeated by Cao Cao one day. If Cao Cao gets angry with us, we will die without a place to die!

    We were unlucky enough to find ourselves in these troubled times. In our early years, we were looked down upon and scolded by others, and it took a lot of effort to gain a place in Xiangyang City.  How can all these years of hard work be lost in one day!  !  It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Why don't we gather people and dedicate the city gate? When the time comes, I will be named the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and you and others will also be indispensable for glory and wealth!  !  "

    Lin Hui's words seemed to have a magical power, which made people's hearts move.  Among the four kings under him, one is named Chen Hu and the other is named Chen Bao, they are a pair of brothers.  Another was named Li Dan, and another was named Hong Tao.  The Chen brothers always followed Lin Hui's lead and immediately said they were willing to fight to the death.  Li Dan is quite intelligent, calm and handsome, but half of his left ear is missing.  Rumor has it that when Li Dan followed Lin Hui to grab territory, he was hacked to protect Lin Hui.  Li Dan thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

    "This matter needs long-term consideration. If there is any negligence, we will definitely die! We, four brothers, were born in poverty, and we all died. Fortunately, we are where we are today because of the kindness of our boss. We will die for the boss. Death is not enough."  It¡¯s a pity. But I¡¯m afraid it will harm the life of the boss and his family!¡±

    "Han Shimou" Li Dan and others usually called Lin Hui "boss". Lin Hui felt very relieved after hearing this and silently cast a look at Li Dan.  At this time, a man next to him with a scar from the left corner of his face to the right side of his neck said.

    "It's so easy. We can gather our men and horses, set the time, and attack together. If we seize the city gate and see the Cao Cao, we will say that the one who caused the trouble is the boss. But if we fail, the worst is death.  We won¡¯t expose it, just let it be your destiny!¡±

    Hearing this, Lin Hui shook his head, smiled, and said in a low voice.

    "All brothers are Lin's siblings. How can we allow brothers to take risks on such a big matter? As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. In these troubled times, if we want to be superior to others, we have to risk our lives. This matter has been agreed upon, you wait.  You can quickly gather your troops. I have some friendship with Li Bin, a subordinate of the Nanmen Guards. This man is a good gambler and he owes me a lot of money. The Shu army has always been strict in running the army. If I expose it, Li Bin will be punished.  It's inevitable that his skin will be torn apart. This person is weak on the outside and as timid as a rat. I will teach him to use it when the time comes, and you will wait for my instructions.  If you seize the city gate, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!"

    As soon as Lin Hui said this, the eyes of each of the four kings under his command lit up.

    "It seems that the boss has already thought about it, and I, Li Dan, am willing to do my best!!"

    Li Dan bowed his hands in admiration.  Lin Hui smiled, moved his hand, and held a banquet in the mansion.  Everyone got very drunk that night. Li Dan said he was not strong enough and left first.  Lin Hui had been friends with Li Dan for more than ten years, so he didn't know Li Dan's drinking capacity. When he saw Li Dan leaving on the "entertainment show", his face darkened and he quickly glanced at Chen Hu beside him.  Chen Hu understood in his mind and escaped through urine.  Chen Hu left the Lin Mansion and saw Li Dan getting on a carriage.  Chen Hu secretly followed Li Dan all the way and saw Li Dan entering the residence of Ma Liang, the prefect of Xiangyang.  When Chen Hu saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly left around the alley.  Let's say that Li Dan came to Ma Liang's house and invited people to report.  The guard outside the door said that Ma Liang was traveling on official business and had not returned yet.  Li Dan felt anxious after hearing this.  At this time a guard said.

    "If you have anything important, please leave it to us and we will report it to you."

    After hearing this, Li Dan laughed, took some silver coins from his arms, and stuffed them over.  Unexpectedly, when the two guards saw him, not only did they not look good, they even scolded him angrily.  Li Dan was afraid that the sound would disturb others, so he quickly apologized and left in a hurry.  Li Dan's face turned dark as he got into the carriage.  At this moment, a neighing sound came, and a carriage came in front to block the way.  The horse-driving confidants on Li Dan's carriage, relying on Li Dan's authority, yelled and cursed.  Unexpectedly, as soon as the scolding started, a group of soldiers rushed over from behind the carriage.  When Li Dan's confidant saw this, his expression suddenly changed with fright, and he quickly dismounted and knelt on the ground.  Li Dan heard the noise and quickly got out of the carriage, and saw a weapon with a cold light raised over him.  Li Dan was shocked, but did not dare to speak.  At this time, a man walked out of the carriage on the opposite side, shouting at the soldiers.  Li Dan looked over and saw that the man was Ma Liang!
