    "It is said that women should not give way to men. Nowadays, the survival of the country is at stake. How can there be any distinction between men and women?"

    When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded slightly, and then sent someone to summon Pan Xin to see him.  After a while, Pan Xin entered the palace.  She was seen wearing a clean white robe with a ponytail raised high and swaying as she walked.  The pair of heroic eyes are no less sharp than a man's. The skin is as white as jade, the body is slender and tall, and the waist is full.  Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but praise her, what a heroic woman.  Although Pan Xin is a female, she would have been somewhat intimidated when she walked into this majestic and solemn hall.  But with bright eyes and a look of admiration, she walked to the center of the hall and bowed first.  After the ceremony, Sun Quan concentrated his mind and told Lu Su's plan.  Pan Xin listened carefully. Sun Quan had been paying attention to the changes in her eyes, but found that Pan Xin was unmoved. After Sun Quan finished speaking, Pan Xin knelt down and worshiped.  

    "The King of Wu has been extremely kind to my Pan family. Although Pan Xin is a female, she has been paid so heavily by the King of Wu. How dare she disobey!!"

    Although Pan Xin¡¯s voice was not as loud as the man¡¯s, it was still shocking to hear.  Sun Quan was delighted when he saw Pan Xin's heroic appearance, so he promoted Pan Xin to the rank of captain and rewarded him with three hundred pieces of silk and satin.  Pan Xin accepted the order and thanked him before leaving.

    The next day, Pan Xin and Jia Xiao packed their bags and rushed to Jingzhou with Ambassador Wu.  Soon, a group of people rushed to Jingzhou. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Sun Quan had agreed to the promise. He quickly ordered people to deliver Zhou Yu's coffin, and then placed Pan Zhang's family in a mansion in the city, first allowing Pan Zhang to reunite with his family.  .

    That night Pan Zhang heard that his son had arrived in Jingzhou. He was shocked and rushed with a group of Wei soldiers to meet him.  When Pan Zhang arrived, Wei soldiers were guarding the surrounding area outside the mansion.  Pan Zhang's expression condensed, then he entered the hall, saw his parents, and knelt down to confess.  Pan Zhang's parents burst into tears when they saw that Pan Zhang was thin and pale.  

    Pan Zhang¡¯s parents were both in their fifties. They had been running around for days and crying again. They were exhausted. After having dinner with Pan Zhang, they went to rest first.  Later, at Pan Zhang's signal, the two of them came to the west courtyard of the mansion.  The west courtyard is a little remote. There are two huge willow trees. There is a stone table in the willow tree. From time to time, there will be a cool breeze blowing. The moonlight is dim at night, but it is also cool.  Pan Xin chose this place as her boudoir.  The brother and sister entered the room.  Pan Xin's expression suddenly changed and she asked Pan Zhang in a low voice.

    "Brother, do you still remember the kindness of King Wu!?"

    When Pan Zhang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at him.

    "The King of Wu has shown great kindness to my Pan family. How dare Pan Zhang forget his roots!!"

    After hearing this, Pan Xin felt certain that her brother was not hypocritical and whispered.

    "Since my brother knows that he is a minister of Wu, can he surrender to a traitor?"

    "I would rather be beheaded than surrender! But I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my little sister and my two elders."

    Pan Zhang's originally heroic face suddenly showed a hint of pain.  Pan Xin's bright eyes rolled and she said so and so in Pan Zhang's ear.  Pan Zhang's expression changed continuously after hearing this, sometimes surprised and sometimes pleasantly surprised.  After Pan Xin finished speaking, Pan Zhang grabbed Pan Xin's wrist and spoke as low as possible.

    "Is this really entrusted by King Wu!?"

    "Of course it is. I hope that my brother will not miss the King of Wu's trust!"

    Pan Xin said in a condensed voice.  After many days of suffering, Pan Zhang felt it was worth it at this moment, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.  That night, the brother and sister discussed the matter all night long.  Wei Bing, who was under surveillance in the palace, thought that the gathering of brothers Pan Zhang and Pan Xin was not something to be disturbed.  What's more, Cao Cao also has orders not to offend, and those who disobey orders will be severely punished.  In this way, those Wei soldiers naturally regarded Pan Zhang and the rest of his family as honored guests.

    The next day, Cao Cao summoned Pan Zhang to see him.  After a while, Pan Zhang entered the palace, but changed his previous attitude, knelt on the ground respectfully, and bowed to Cao Cao.

    "Fortunately, the King of Wei did not abandon Bijing, but also took home the little boy for Bijing. Such kindness, I just hope that I can repay it with the hard work of dogs and horses."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, so he made Pan Zhang the Marquis of Ping and moved him to the deputy governor of the navy, where he trained the navy with Cao Ren.  Cao Cao then asked Pan Zhang how to train troops.  Pan Zhang's face hardened and he cupped his hands.

    "Today, we must first build a water stronghold, so that the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains are in the middle, and the soldiers of Jingzhou are outside. They will teach and practice every day before they can be used."

    When Cao Cao heard what he said, he felt it made sense and nodded.

    "Since you are the deputy commander of the navy, you can do it cheaply. If you have any important matters, you can discuss it with Zixiao. There is no need to be lonely!!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don't use the people who are suspicious, and do not doubt the people you employ.  Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero of his generation. If he were an ordinary soldier and had just surrendered, he would be used in such a important way. He would be extremely grateful and willing to die in repayment.  But Cao Cao didn't know that Pan Zhang was not really interested in him.  However, Pan Zhang also knew that Cao Cao had a vicious vision, so he did not dare to reveal his flaws for the time being, so he naturally did his best to please Cao Cao.  Cao Ren smiled at Pan Zhang and gave him a friendly look, but Pan Zhang was obedient.??He quickly bowed his hands and bowed.  He knew very well that Cao Zixiao seemed peaceful, but he was thoughtful and a handsome man with both wisdom and courage. He was highly valued by Cao Cao and could be said to be the number one general under Cao Cao.  Cao Cao's deployment has been decided, so Cao Ren and Pan Zhang went to train the navy.  There are twenty-four water gates along the river, with large boats on the outside as the city walls and small boats on the inside, which can lead to and from there. In the evening, lights are lit, making the water in the sky turn red.  The dry village is more than a hundred miles away, and there are endless fireworks.  Cao Cao was on the Yangtze River, training his navy and his army at the same time. He also ordered people to build ships along the river. Judging from the formation, he wanted to cross the Yangtze River in one battle and conquer the east of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

    Cao Wei first defeated Jingzhou and then defeated Sun Quan. It was like a broken bamboo and stationed troops on the bank of the Yangtze River. If Cao Cao could conquer Jiangdong again, his power would cover nearly two-thirds of the world, and Cao Wei would immediately become the trend of the world.

    And when Cao Cao and Sun Quan were fighting fiercely in Yuzhou.  In the land of Xichuan.  But he said that Guan Yu took Cang City and had a confrontation with Zhang Ren in Guanzhong City for more than a month, but could not win.  Guan Yu was impatient, but the city in Guanzhong was impregnable, and Zhang Ren dug deep ditches to build a fortress, so it was difficult for Guan Yu to attack the city by force.  Just when Guan Yu was at his wits' end, one night, Xi Zhicai was looking at the sky at night and saw a dim star in the southeast. Xi Zhicai's face changed continuously and he murmured.

    "Zhou Gongjin is about to die soon. It seems that Cao Cao has captured Jingzhou, and will soon drive the Dongwu soldiers and horses out of Yuzhou."

    Xi Zhi just pondered for a while, feeling a little anxious in his heart. If the war in Xichuan does not intensify, let Cao Cao take Jiangdong first, and then devour all the power of Soochow.  Then the whole world will surely fall into Cao Cao's hands.  Xi Zhicai looked certain, and suddenly a soldier came to report, and Guan Yu called him to see him.  Xi Zhicai nodded slightly and hurried into the tent in a moment. Guan Yu was sitting in the high hall and said quickly.

    "Military advisor, our army has been at loggerheads with Zhang Ren for many days, but has made no progress. There is a shortage of food at the moment. If we neglect, we will be in danger. What should we do!?"

    Xi Zhicai¡¯s eyes like the bright moon narrowed slightly and asked in a deep voice.

    "Is there any reward for the recent scouts?"

    After hearing this, Guan Yu's red face sank slightly, he thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

    "The scouts searched everywhere, but saw no movement from the other army. Except that every night, all the lights in Guanzhong City were extinguished, and there was no difference."

    Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's heart sank. Zhang Ren taught the soldiers and civilians in the city to extinguish the lights earlier, mostly to prepare the city's spies for committing crimes at night.  Xi Zhicai had already known about this matter. After thinking about it for a while, his expression suddenly changed, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and he smiled.

    "Haha! I almost fell into Zhang Guyi's trick!!"

    When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and he asked quickly.

    "What do you think of this, military advisor!?"

    "Guan Gong, you can send me a team of elite soldiers. I will go and explore in person tonight!!"

    Xi Zhicai smiled brightly and seemed to have made up his mind.  After hearing this, Guan Yu nodded heavily, then instructed E Huan and Deng Ai to enter the tent, and ordered the two generals to guard him together to protect Xi Zhicai.  The two generals took orders.  At this moment, Xi Zhicai led hundreds of fast cavalry, together with E Huan, Deng Ai and other generals, and rushed to Guanzhong City.  The night color is thick, as thick as ink.  It was already the third watch of the night, and Xi Zhicai led his troops seven or eight miles away from Guanzhong City. Xi Zhicai drove his horse up a slope and looked up from a high place.  Except for the four fires in Guanzhong City, the city was dark, like a dead city.  Xi Zhicai smiled, then led his troops forward and walked several miles.  Deng Ai's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly drove his horse to persuade him.

    "Military advisor, wait a moment. If we advance further, we will be spotted by the soldiers and horses in the city. What if we come to pursue you?"

    Xi Zhicai shook his head without any fear.

    "Don't worry too much, Shi Zai. If our army doesn't get close, it will be difficult to find out what I don't know. You can follow me and move forward cautiously."

    After hearing this, Deng Ai and E Huan looked at each other, both of them were suspicious.  There must be a reason why Xi Zhicai took such a risk.  The second general didn't say much at the moment, and followed Xi Zicai's horse to advance slowly.  Seeing that they were about to approach Guanzhong City, Xi Zhicai suddenly ordered that hundreds of people and horses be divided into ten teams, each with dozens of horsemen, and they would go around the city to listen to the movements in the city, and then teach the same plan.  After receiving the order, everyone separated and went to the four gates.  Each team of men and horses took advantage of the cover of night and slowly approached.  Xi Zhicai, E Huan and Deng Ai rushed to the east gate when they heard a faint noise.  Xi Zhicai's face lit up, and suddenly the city was dazzled by torches. It turned out that someone with a sharp eye noticed Xi Zhicai's men and immediately shouted loudly.  Xi Zhicai's expression changed. E Huan and Deng Ai followed the plan and shouted in unison, and the soldiers and horses started to drink in unison.  People and horses everywhere heard it and shouted loudly.  For a moment, shouts of killing arose from all four gates outside Guanzhong City.  There was a panic in the four gates. The generals thought that the enemy was attacking, and they quickly taught the sergeants to shoot with arrows.  In an instant, arrows fell like a sudden rain.  E Huan and Deng Ai each danced with weapons to protect Xi Zhicai and escaped.  The men and horses of each team fled one after another, and the shouts continued.  ?The crossbowmen at the gate started shooting randomly, and then they stopped when the shouts of killing gradually faded away.  Zhang Ren heard the commotion and hurried to the east gate. The guard paid homage to him and told him that the Tang soldiers had attacked not long ago, but he didn't know how many soldiers and horses came. The sergeants repelled them with random arrows.  Zhang Ren frowned upon hearing this and felt doubtful. He pondered for a while and thought that Guan Yu was helpless, so he sent troops to attack at night as a test to see if there was any way to break through.  Zhang Ren must have smiled coldly and ordered his soldiers to step up guard as a precaution.

    By the time Xi Zhicai returned to Cangcheng, it was already dawn.  Xi Zhicai gathered a group of soldiers and asked them one after another.  It turned out that everyone heard a lot of digging sounds after approaching Guanzhong City, especially in the south, which was particularly clear.  After Xi Zhi heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he secretly cursed in his heart.

    "Humph. There is a trick in this piece of Guyi. Such a clever plan must have come from the hands of Zhuge Kongming. If I hadn't taken the risk and stepped forward, I would have almost been concealed by him!"

    Having just finished thinking about the drama, he came to see Guan Yu.  Guan Yu asked anxiously and Xi Zhicai.

    "Did the military advisor gain anything last night?"
