Fan Zhou was a successful businessman who failed to succeed in his literature and martial arts. Although he had been an official in the army for several years, due to his lack of martial arts and prestige, there were not many good players in the army.

He knew the dangers of the battlefield and paid great attention to his own safety.

Therefore, while recruiting a large number of soldiers, Fan Zhou also spent a lot of money to hire many powerful people with high martial arts.

Among them, many of the warriors who returned to the field were the trump cards that Pan Jun had left long ago. Now they could just enter the undercover agent of Fan Zhou's army.

The strong are always kings in the army. Pan Jun’s dozens of men are all very skilled in martial arts and experienced a lot of battle formations. In the popular army that uses fists to reason, they are like fish in water and soon gained the support of the soldiers.

According to military practice, Fan Zhou selected grassroots officers and personal guards.

The people left by Pan Jun were valued, either as Fan Zhou's personal guards or grassroots officers.

These people are very skilled in martial arts and are loyal to Pan Jun. They cannot be bought by Fan Zhou's rewards.

They lie dormant in Fan Zhou's army, waiting for the opportunity.

Seeing that there were more and more soldiers under his command, Fan Zhou was full of energy and ordered Wuling City to be surrounded.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Fan Zhou "sky into the sky". Although his subordinates were full of talents, they gathered a group of like-minded old friends.

They all gave suggestions, and the battle of siege was also very exciting.

First, a businessman named Ma Yun suggested that Fan Zhou "subjugate the enemy without fighting" and volunteered to go to the city to persuade him to surrender.

Fan Zhou was good at following the flow and did not doubt his employing people, so he asked Ma Yun to enter the city to recruit surrender.

The generals guarding Wuling City were nothing but Tan Xiong who returned home in glory.

Since he was scared away by Zhang Fei in Wuling, he had no face to stay in his hometown and had been wandering to Chaisang.

He had no other ability to make a living, so he joined Sun Quan's army and participated in the military operation to pacify Baiyue.

After all, Tan Xiong's martial arts skills are not bad. After his defeat with Zhang Fei, he can be said to be shameless and brave. Just like a different person, he gave up practicing those erotic martial arts and practiced on the battlefield.

During the battle, Tan Xiong was extremely brave, and his martial arts changed from a flowery posture to a battlefield killing technique. He also made many military achievements and was promoted to a deputy general.

When Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, Sun Quan was afraid that the matter would be a big deal, so he transferred all the famous generals under his command who could be mobilized, and Tan Xiong was also transferred to Guiyang for reuse.

When Lu Meng attacked the police, Jiangling succeeded, and Zhang Cheng was ordered to attack Lingling, Tan Xiong once led two thousand Guiyang County troops to help.

Although Zhang Cheng was defeated by Ma Su using a plan, he quickly made a comeback and successfully occupied the two counties of Lingling and Wuling.

Because Tan Xiong was originally from Wuling, he was defeated from Wuling to leading the army to recover Wuling. This is a typical inspirational story, "Where you fall, where you get up", and it is rumored to be a beautiful story in Wuling County!

This is a matter of glorifying the family and glorious ancestors. When Tan Xiong returned home in glory, he volunteered to Zhang Cheng to guard Wuling.

Because he had long expected that Wuling County would be in peace, Sun Quan and Pan Lindu informed Tan Xiong one after another to make him prepare to stick to Wuling City.

Therefore, Fan Zhou's besieged city was long as Tan Xiong expected.

The Tan family is also a family in Wuling, so naturally they will not allow the Fan family to bully Tan Xiong.

Because Sun Quan's troops were tight, only one thousand county soldiers were left to Tan Xiong to guard Wuling County, so he naturally needed to rely on the power of the Tan family.

After careful planning, the Tan family took action, because they were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they did not dare to recruit soldiers. Although the Tan family and several families they had friends took action, they added a thousand troops to the city.

There were two thousand people who occupied the city and guarded it. It was not difficult to deal with Fan Zhou's mob, and it was not difficult to protect the city.

But the Tan family was afraid that if the Fan family and Xi family joined forces, Wuling City would be in danger.

The Xi family is just a branch in Wuling and has little influence in the local area.

But the Xi family had too high prestige in Jingzhou, and even several families with whom the Tan family agreed in advance and did not go against the Xi family.

Fortunately, the Tan family does not need to stick to it all the time, because Pan Jun wrote to him that as long as he could stick to it for a month, he would personally lead reinforcements.

As a big family, the Tan family also has outstanding wisdom.

They would not miss any chance to win, and took advantage of Fan Zhou's recruitment and sent Ma Yun to Fan Zhou's army to implement a slowdown strategy.

Although Ma Yun and Fan Zhou were incompetent, Fan Zhou did not intervene and took in more younger brothers, so he naturally refused to accept everyone.

Therefore, Ma Yun successfully became Fan Zhou's aide.

And he made extraordinary moves, and was the first to offer his advice, volunteering to go to the city to surrender to Tan Xiong.

Ma Yun was also a businessman and was also a person who valued profit and cherished life. He could not get up early without profit.

His relationship with the Tan family is not particularly close, and he will definitely not take risks to help others without reason.

If he is a person who has a close relationship with the Tan family, Fan Zhou is not a fool and will naturally not be reused.

The Tan family allowed Ma to value profit, and what he did was just a delaying strategy and there was no danger. Ma Yun went there happily.

Ma Yun is not a simple person. He agreed to go to the city to persuade him to surrender, so he naturally made complete preparations.

On the surface, he was seriously advising Tan Xiong instead of lying to disobey him and ruining his reputation.

Therefore, after entering the city, he did his job in a proper manner and did not do anything that would harm Fan Zhou.

After Ma Yun met Tan Xiong, the two of them tacitly began to do business.

Of course, Tan Xiong still entertained Ma Yun according to the specifications of treating the messengers, and had good wine and good food for treating them.

Tan Xiong did not refuse Ma Yun's surrender on the spot, but proposed to meet the major families in the city to discuss together and then make a decision.

Of course, Fan Zhou was not a foolish person who was able to survive to this point.

Everyone is from Wuling. In such a big place, everyone has some contacts, but it is difficult to distinguish between closeness and distantness. He does not fully trust Ma Yun.

He has no doubts about using people because he needs to make this gesture and attract some people to come and join.

Moreover, he arranged a lot of secret agents in the city, as well as those fence-leading families, who were willing to take the initiative to provide information for Fan Zhou. Therefore, Ma Yun's every move in the city could hardly be hidden from Fan Zhou. He was not afraid that Ma Yun's conspiracy with the Tan family would be detrimental to him.

Knowing that Ma Yun was really persuading Tan Xiong to surrender, Fan Zhou felt relieved and waited for the result outside the city.

Ma Yun did not ask Fan Zhou to wait for too long. Three days later, he brought Tan Xiong's reply.

The aristocratic families in the city were afraid that after Fan Zhou attacked the city, they would be burned and be affected by the fish pond. Therefore, they did not want the Tan family and the Fan family to go to war from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition, Fan Zhou has not been idle these days, and has been working in secret, and has been appointed as an official and made a wish. Most of the aristocratic families agree to sacrifice the city.
