    It turned out that the two soldiers who held Xu Shu hostage were Zhuge Liang's dead soldiers.  The two men were ordered by Zhuge Liang to sneak into the city during the battle between the two armies today. They took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the remaining soldiers of the Tang army.  But before the two handed the letter to Huang Zhong, they secretly reported to a Tang general that they saw Huang Zhongzheng and others secretly discussing something.  The Tang general saw that Huang Zhong had a close relationship with the Shu army, so he did not dare to neglect and reported to Zhang Liao and Xu Shu quickly.  When the two heard this, they were dubious and rushed over.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao happened to see the document in Huang Zhong's hand, and mistakenly thought that Huang Zhong was really collaborating with the enemy, and Lei Lei was furious.

    At this moment, accidents happen frequently.  Huang Zhong was at a loss for words for a while, as he didn't know what to do.  Suddenly, there was a loud shout of killing outside the city, and Shu soldiers were coming from all directions to kill them.  When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression suddenly changed again, his face was full of ferociousness, he stared at Huang Zhong as if he wanted to eat him alive, his steel teeth were so angry that he almost bit him into pieces, and he shouted with incomparable hatred.

    "The soldiers of Shu are approaching the city. What can you say, old thief!? I only regret that the king trusted you so much, but was betrayed by you!!"

    Huang Zhong was trembling all over and stopped talking.  If Huang Zhong's martial arts skills and Xu Shu's hostage were to fight to the death, it would be possible to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate and welcome the Shu army into the city.  At present, Zhang Liao and others all believe that Huang Zhong is a rebel. If Huang Zhong does not resist, he will undoubtedly die.  Zhuge Liang's plan can be described as extremely vicious. If Huang Zhong wants to survive, he has no choice.

    "However, Huang Zhong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.  Suddenly, Huang Zhong seemed to have made up his mind. With a look of relief on his face, he walked up to Zhang Liao and said in a condensed voice.

    "Huang has a clear conscience. If Wen Yuan doesn't believe it, I'll let you do it!!"

    Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes when he saw Huang Zhong approaching, but he was secretly wary of Huang Zhong's sudden attack.  Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to approach, Zhang Liao shouted loudly, raised his sword and struck Huang Zhong's head suddenly.  Huang Zhong did not dodge, and the sword was as fast as thunder, and it was about to reach Huang Zhong's forehead in an instant.  After all, Zhang Liao couldn't bring himself to act harshly, so he suddenly turned his sword.  The sword flew past.  At the critical moment of life and death, Huang Zhong remained motionless, calm and aboveboard.

    The two dead soldiers holding Xu Shu hostage were frightened when they saw Zhang Liao's sharp sword was about to strike.  At this moment, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly flashed with light. His thin body, like a swimming fish, suddenly scurried back, his hands formed into palms, and he beat them, like Tai Chi.  He actually knocked the two dead soldiers away in an instant.  The surrounding soldiers rushed forward and subdued the two dead soldiers.  It turns out that Xu Shu was already good at martial arts. He once traveled the world with his sword, and when he got angry, he killed evildoers for his friends. Later, he had no choice but to change his name to Shan Fu and fled into seclusion.  After Xu Shu joined Wen Han, Wen Han even taught Tai Chi moves.  Tai Chi is exquisite and profound. It has merits in terms of martial arts and formation.  Xu Shu once studied this in depth, and his understanding of Tai Chi far exceeded that of others.

    Before leaving, Zhuge Liang also knew that Xu Shu was good at martial arts, so he ordered the two dead men to be extremely careful.  But the scene just now was too thrilling.  As soon as these two dead men lost their consciousness, Xu Shu took advantage of them.  After Xu Shu took the risk, his face was dull, then he turned to Huang Zhong and said with his hands.

    "Old General Huang is worthy of being a loyal man. His just-in-time action is enough to prove the old general's loyalty. I don't know what is wrong, so I hope that Old General Huang will forgive me!!"

    When Zhang Liao heard this, he frowned immediately, but then he thought about Huang Zhong's fearless expression when he slashed him with his sword just now, so he believed it a little bit, and he quickly bowed and apologized.

    "A certain person is reckless and ignorant and is willing to accept the crime!!"

    Huang Zhong moved his hand, without any anger at all, and said calmly.

    "Zhuge Kongming has always been treacherous and wise, and he has repeatedly used tricks to alienate me. How can we blame the princes for their eagerness to protect the country?

    At that moment, his army was approaching the city.  I'll go there quickly to avoid being taken advantage of by thieves!  !  "

    In Huang Zhong¡¯s eyes, national affairs should come first in everything.  When Xu Shu saw this, he was filled with admiration. He quickly taught the sergeants to take the two dead soldiers into prison, and then, together with Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals, they went to the northern city gate to meet the enemy according to the soldiers' reports.  Zhuge Liang led General Pan Pingping and led the army to form a formation outside the northern city gate.  Zhuge Liang frowned. According to the time he agreed, something should have happened in the city long ago.  But after nearly half an hour, there was still no movement in the city.  Just when Zhuge Liang was suspicious, a group of men and horses suddenly came to a place where torches were densely packed in the city.  The leader was none other than Huang Zhong.  Huang Zhong looked at Zhuge Liang below the city with dazzling eyes and shouted sharply.

    "Zhuge Villager, we have discovered your treacherous plan!! You have repeatedly harmed me and trapped me in injustice. This hatred is irreconcilable! If you are captured by me, you will be crushed to ashes to vent my hatred.  !¡±

    Huang Zhong's voice was like thunder, exploding suddenly, and Huang Zhong's shouts seemed to be enveloped within a radius of several miles.  Zhuge Liang's expression changed after hearing this, but he finally let out a long sigh and told the sergeants on the left and right to pay gold and withdraw the troops.  At this moment, the sound of bowstrings suddenly burst out from the city, and a bowstring sounded as fast as a bowstring.The thunder-like arrow suddenly shot towards Zhuge Liang like an unreachable flying shadow in the dark night.  Fortunately, Pan Ping was prepared and twisted the knife to block it suddenly.  The arrow was so powerful that it knocked Pan Ping's weapon out of his hand.  Zhuge Liang was frightened and fled into the crowd.  Huang Zhong kept shouting angrily and fired several arrows, but only killed a few unimportant soldiers.  As the Shu army sounded the golden sound, all the Shu soldiers withdrew one after another.

    Waiting until dawn, the sun rises.  Someone came to report that the two dead men had committed suicide by biting their tongues last night.  After Xu Shu heard this, he quickly asked the soldier who came to report last night to come, and then asked the sergeant to move the bodies of the two dead soldiers.  After identification, it was indeed the two dead men who falsely reported that Huang Zhong was secretly discussing with others.  In this way, the facts will come to light.  Zhang Liao thought that he had almost made a big mistake, so he regretted it and apologized to Huang Zhong.  Huang Zhong is also very generous and has no blame. His broad mind has won the respect of all the generals.

    But he said that Zhuge Liang's alienation plan failed, and it was delayed for nearly a month.  The current war situation was urgent, and Zhuge Liang seemed a little impatient.  On that day, Zhuge Liang gathered a crowd in the tent, his face was dark, and he spoke to the generals.

    "Now the alienation plan has been seen through by the other army. Instead, the other army is united. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to capture Nanzheng. Do you have any suggestions?"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, all the generals looked at each other in shock.  At this time, Zhang Fei came to shout angrily.

    "I said long ago that we don't need to waste time with this alienation plan. But the military adviser insists on it! There is already a long delay. We must quickly assemble the army and attack it with all our strength. The small town of Nanzheng can be obtained with a raise of hands.  !¡±

    Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Ma Dai hurriedly retorted.

    "No! Nanzheng City is heavily defended and impregnable. If we attack it rashly, even if we can break through the city, we will lose a lot of our troops. In this case, once Wen Bufan invites reinforcements to come back for rescue, how can we resist?!"

    When Zhang Fei heard this, he glared and shouted through gritted teeth.

    "You wait for everything to be delayed and are afraid to move forward. When will my second brother's great hatred be avenged!?"

    Zhang Fei was like a wild horse running wild, and his thunderous voice roared like thunder exploding.  The expressions of all the generals in the tent changed. Zhuge Liang's expression condensed, he took the sword seal in his hand and shouted sternly.

    "The sword seal is here, who dares to be presumptuous!!?"

    When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't get any desire out of him and could only suppress his anger with death.  Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and sighed.

    "The other army knows that we are eager to conquer the city. If we mess up our position, it will only leave holes for the other army to take advantage of. Although our army has a large number of troops, the other army is defending the city and is south of Zheng City.  It is not a good idea to capture it by force. Not only will it waste time, but Nanzheng has plenty of food. I want to make a surprise move, but Xu Yuanzhi is in charge of the city.  Not inferior to me. Now that the war is delayed, Liang¡¯s talent and learning are really meager.¡±

    Zhuge Liang has many concerns. This man who is known throughout the world for his wisdom and superiority over demons actually seems a bit lonely now.  When Zhang Fei saw this, he hesitated to speak. Suddenly he seemed to have lost all his strength. He raised his head and sighed in his heart.

    "Could it be that God wants to destroy our country of Shu!?"

    The Shu Kingdom has few troops and the situation of the war is unknown.  Zhuge Liang did not dare to act rashly and stayed put for the time being. The Tang army faced off with the Shu army in Nanzheng for another half month.  Suddenly one day, a hurricane struck and the sky became dark.  When Zhuge Liang saw this, he looked overjoyed and suddenly smiled.

    "There is no perfect path!! Nanzheng can be broken!!"

    Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and summoned Ma Dai and Pan Pingping to teach him this.  When Ma Dai and Pan Ping heard this, their expressions changed and they were astonished.  It turned out that Zhuge Liang had predicted that there would be torrential rain in five days, so he instructed the two men to go to the Baihe River southeast of Nanzheng City to build a dam and store water first.  The time will tell.  The two of them knew that Zhuge Liang could observe the celestial phenomena, so they accepted the order and went there one after another.  But it was said that Zhang Fei was depressed when he saw that the battle was difficult. Suddenly he saw several troops and horses moving in the stronghold. He was overjoyed and hurried to Zhuge Liang's tent to meet him.  Zhuge Liang seemed to have known this for a long time. Seeing Zhang Fei hurriedly enter the tent, he laughed in a condensing voice.

    "Why did Yide come here?"

    Zhang Fei frowned and said anxiously.

    "The strategist must not hide anything from me. I clearly saw my nephew and Ma Dai leading the troops out of the stronghold. The strategist had his own plan. Why didn't you tell me?"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he pretended to be different, but said.

    "You don't have to be suspicious, Yide. It's difficult to fight now. How can I have a plan?"

    When Zhang Fei saw the strange look on Zhuge Liang's face, he immediately became more convinced and shouted quickly.

    "I am the general of the army! The military advisor has a plan, but why doesn't he use me?"

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he stopped talking, sighed, shook his head and said.

    "Although Yide is brave enough to be invincible, he has a hot temper and is eager for revenge. Liang is afraid that he will reveal his plan.With you, I missed something important.  "

    Zhang Fei heard that he really had a plan, his eyes suddenly shot out, and he said hurriedly.

    "The words of the military advisor are wrong. At present, the national affairs are in the country. How can I forget the official duties for selfish reasons!? The military advisor may give orders. If I commit any crime, I will be punished no matter what. I am willing to accept the order!"

    Zhuge Liang smiled brightly after hearing this, and said this to Zhang Fei.  When Zhang Fei heard this, he was very happy and laughed.  So, that night, Zhang Fei ignored Zhuge Liang's prohibition on drinking and drank indulgently.  He was so drunk that he took off his clothes and scolded Zhuge Liang in the stronghold, saying that he was ignorant, had no talent and knowledge, and was delaying the war.  After scolding Zhang Fei, he suddenly burst into tears. It turned out that he was thinking of his sworn brother Pan Feng.  Zhang Fei scolded and cried, one moment extremely ferocious, the other moment desolate and crying bitterly.  When the soldiers in the village heard this, they were all moved.  Zhuge Liang has always been strict in running the army, how could he allow Zhang Fei to be so presumptuous, he immediately came out of the tent to reprimand him.  Zhang Fei cried so sadly that when he saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately opened his mouth to curse.  Zhuge Liang was so angry that he was furious, but seeing Zhang Fei's pain of losing his brother, he suppressed his anger and just pushed Zhang Fei back into the tent.  Where Zhang Fei was willing to go, he suddenly had a fit, knocked down the soldiers, became drunk, cried, and cursed Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang was so angry that he trembled all over and ordered his soldiers to capture him.  At this time, Hua Xiong and other generals came one after another. Seeing Zhang Fei crying and cursing Zhuge Liang, they hurriedly came to persuade him.  Zhuge Liang was so angry that he wanted to punish Zhang Fei severely.  Hua Xiong and other generals pulled Zhang Fei away and tried to persuade him, so he excused himself.  At this time, outside the Shu army stronghold, several Tang army scouts were riding and saw this one by one.  It turned out that these scouts were exploring a few miles outside the Shu Army stronghold.  Suddenly I heard that there was a lot of cursing in the village, and I couldn't help but come to visit out of curiosity.  In addition, Zhuge Liang had earlier ordered to evacuate the patrolling sergeants outside the stronghold.  The scouts gradually approached and saw Zhang Fei drunk and angrily cursing Zhuge Liang.  When everyone saw this, their faces were overjoyed, and they quickly reined in their horses and retreated, rushing back to Nanzheng City to report Huang Zhong.  When Huang Zhong heard this, he frowned, wondering if it was really a scam. Seeing that it was already getting late, he didn't call Xu Shu and Zhang Liao to discuss it until early the next morning.

    Xu Shu couldn¡¯t help but ponder after hearing what happened.  Zhang Liao had sharp eyes and snorted coldly.

    "This must be Zhuge Kongming's trick again! Zhuge Kongming saw that Nanzheng City was strong and difficult to capture, so he wanted to conserve his troops.
