The corners of Lu Bu's mouth were chapped and his face was covered with dust. He leaned against the mountain wall, tore off the fabric from his clothes, tied Fang Tian's painted halberd to the back of Red Rabbit's horse, and was trapped at the bottom of the valley. His head was smashed by rolling stones and wood.

At night, he rarely felt tired.

The soil was filled with pits mixed with mud, and blood spattered on the stone walls, leaving dark brown shadows.

Gao Shun led the trapped camp, still maintaining a half-kneeling posture. The wooden shield in his hand had become tattered and could only be regarded as broken wood.

The soldiers in a circle inside kept their eyes open to prevent themselves from falling asleep, for fear that they would be smashed into pieces alive by a sudden falling rock or a piece of wood.

Zhang Liao's already purple face turned redder. He couldn't find a way to escape. Unless they could grow wings and fly out, they would either be crushed to death by the enemy troops or trapped in the valley.

.

"Marquis Wen, after spending a night in the valley, I wonder if you can still fight?"

Lu Bu raised his head, and he felt that the voice was extremely familiar.

The man who shouted leaned out half of his body and looked down at the scene in the valley.

Only then did Lu Bu recognize the identity of the person who besieged them here.

"Guo Si?!"

"It's me!" Guo Si was a little proud, "Marquis Wen never thought that one day he would be defeated by Si, right? Did Marquis Wen like yesterday's ceremony of rolling stones and trees?"

"Despicable villain!" Lu Bu punched the rock wall with his fist, smashing a raised stone corner into pieces. "Bu will record today's humiliation!"

"I advise Marquis Wen to save some energy and tidy up his clothes now so that he can die with dignity." Guo Si did not take Lü Bu's threat to heart at all. In his eyes, Lü Bu was already destined to die and was not something to be afraid of.

He is now waiting for Jia Xu to come up, and when the time comes, he will set fire to them, clean up these people at the bottom of the valley, and then join Li Jue to attack Chang'an.

Jia Xu, who was missed by Guo Bang, was walking tremblingly on the hidden path in the valley.

According to his character, he would not actually come up with such a strategy that would pose a serious threat to his personal safety.

It's just that Zhang Ji and Fan Chou failed unexpectedly. Now that the siege of Chang'an has been solved, Li Jue is in a stalemate with Lu Bu again.

In the end, it will only end up running out of food and grass and leaving. Then didn't he persuade Li Jue to go to Xiliang to recruit troops in vain?

Instead of dividing the troops and fleeing again, it is better to take a gamble directly. After all, if Li Jue escapes, he will inevitably be defeated with the army, and he will definitely die.

But if Li Jue carries out his plan, he only needs to endure the temporary danger, and he will be safe for the rest of his life.

Which one is less important and which one is more serious? Jia Xu knows it well.

He thought that he could pretend to be Chang'an as an envoy. An envoy is responsible for delivering the Lord's orders during war. At this time, the envoy is actually the representative of the Lord's image. He naturally stands in a position of domination over the Lord's general and is not easily questioned.

Secondly, he served as an auxiliary in Niu Fu's army. As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu often had contact with officials in the court.

When he was handling official documents for Niu Fu, he was familiar with the handwriting of some important ministers. Jia Xu had a good memory and good handwriting.

He could easily imitate Wang Yun's handwriting 80% to 90%, and with the forged seal, Lu Bu couldn't help but not believe it.

When he was young, he met the rebellious Di people on his way home. He and dozens of others were captured by the Di people. Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Jiong's grandson to scare the Di people. As expected, the rebellious Di people did not dare to harm him and even fought with him.

Send him back after making an oath.

At that time, Jia Xu realized that the more serious the identity he pretended to be, the less likely others would be suspicious. Even if a flaw was revealed, all he had to do was put on a scolding posture, and the other party would then start to doubt whether he was being careless and subconsciously criticize him.

There is no doubt about his identity.

Therefore, when meeting Lu Bu, Jia Xu repeatedly conveyed the message that "Chang'an is at a critical moment" with his demeanor, actions and words. Lu Bu was only slightly shaken, and he angrily accused Lu Bu of having second thoughts. This bluff was to completely defeat him.

Lu Bu was so troubled that he didn't dare to think any more.

Facts have proved that Jia Xu's strategy is indeed effective. He continued to question him continuously, and Lu Bu no longer had any doubts about his identity. Jia Xu's only worry was Zhang Liao.

He also remembered that he had met Zhang Liao. Although it was only a short meeting, there was no guarantee that his identity would not be revealed...

Fortunately, Zhang Liao was only suspicious, but did not think that the two of them had actually crossed paths.

Before Jia Xu laid out his plan, he examined the best place for an ambush on the map. On the night he selected Gaoling, he took a group of soldiers assigned by Li Jue to explore the area and searched for a long time at the bottom of the valley to find where he could hide from the rolling rocks and trees.

He knew in detail where there was an attack and where there was a trail to escape.

Jia Xu retracted his thoughts and held on to the stone wall to catch his breath. At this time, he was far away from the bottom of the valley, but it was still too early to reach the top of the mountain. There was still time to go...

"Marquis Wen, the only plan we have now is to surrender. If I had not been bound on the spot, there would still be a way for me to survive."

Zhang Liao suddenly said, and even Gao Shun's expression changed as soon as he said these words.

"Wenyuan?!" Lu Bu's face was full of disbelief. He never expected that these words would come out of Zhang Liao's mouth. Otherwise, Zhang Liao had been with him all the time, and Lu Bu almost thought that he had been impersonated.

"Wenyuan, how could you say such, such... oh, what?!" Lu Bu was so shocked that he didn't even know what to say.

"If we don't surrender, will Marquis Wen have to wait for death?" Zhang Liao said expressionlessly.

"You..." Lu Bu was pricked in his mind, and he subconsciously licked his chapped lips. It would be better to die than to live. Of course he is not willing to die if he can live... It's just that his reputation is not very good to begin with. If he surrenders to Guo again,

Si, doesn’t it completely stink?

Lu Bu was confused, so Zhang Liao shouted directly to Guo Si on the mountain: "Liao is willing to surrender!"

Guo Bang had been staring at the movements of Lu Bu and others in the valley, and naturally he also took in the scene just now. He thought about it and his mind was also active.

The one at the bottom is Lu Bu. If Lu Bu surrenders his army and horses... then he and Li Jue will have to change their leadership positions in the army. When the time comes, they can invade Chang'an and take charge of the government...

When Guo Bang thought of this, his pupils dilated slightly, his breathing became more rapid, and he clenched his fists.

"General, Liao knows about Chang'an's defense. If the general is willing to spare Liao's life, Liao can falsely open the city gate for the general and let the general's army enter the city!"

While shouting, Zhang Liao put his hands behind his back and gestured to Gao Shun.

When Guo Si heard this, he couldn't sit still at all.

He clenched his right hand and walked a few steps in front of the deputy general. He suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Lieutenant General:???

Are you the commander-in-chief or am I the commander-in-chief? If you ask me what to do, you may not listen if I tell you what to do. Have you forgotten that I just slapped myself in the mouth in the previous chapters?

The lieutenant general cursed and replied in a low voice: "I don't think Zhang Liao..."

Guo Si clapped his hands and said, "Lü Bu is a brave and foolhardy man who is greedy for life and profit. I will use both soft and hard tactics to defeat him. He will surely surrender. The advantage is mine!"
