Fearing that Huo Biao used his special identity to incite the prisoners to lead the riot. After capturing Huo Biao alive, the Han army kept imprisoning Huo Biao alone. After Guangtan, the same was true after Guangtan. More than 600 ordinary prisoners were locked in a prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, while Huo Biao was taken into the city and detained in a room in the backyard of the temple in Guangtan County. He was closely guarded by Zhang Zhi's personal soldiers and put on shackles.

The arrogant Huo Biao was of course extremely dissatisfied with this. He protested more than once, demanding that he live with other prisoners in the South Central China. Zhang Zhi's personal soldiers ignored it. He only packed two packs of medium instant noodles in the morning and evening every day, ten Alps and two big white rabbits at noon, and placed them in the room in front of Huo Biao, and then he was willing to eat it or not.

Huo Biao also had to hate his weak willpower. Although he wanted to go on a hunger strike several times, and even committed suicide by going on a hunger strike, showing his backbone of being unwilling to be humiliated. However, he was so hungry that he was put in front of him. After putting the fragrant instant noodles in front of him, Huo Biao couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks to eat noodles. After eating, he regretted it so much that he slapped himself in the face and cursed: "You call you slander, you call you slander, your mouth is so slanderous that little slanderous."

Having hated that his will was not firm enough, Huo Biao could only make up his mind quietly and decided to curse Zhang Zhi when Zhang Zhi was persuaded to surrender, and before he could even strangle Zhang Zhi to death, he would force Zhang Zhi to take action to execute him, so as to prove his determination and backbone to never bow to Zhang Zhi.

Huo Biao really waited for such an opportunity. On the afternoon of the fourth day of moving into Guangtan City, the closed door opened for the first time at a time when it was not dinner. After the late autumn sun shone into the room, Zhang Zhi's hideous and ugly figure finally appeared in Huo Biao's eyes again.

Unfortunately, before Huo Biao, wearing shackles, jumped up and fought with Zhang Zhi, several Zhang Zhi's personal soldiers rushed in first and pressed Huo Biao on the couch, making him unable to move. Zhang Zhi then walked into the room, followed by several Han military and civil and military officials, as well as a middle-aged man in regular clothes and arrogant faces.

To Huo Biao's surprise, after entering the room, the middle-aged man with a proud face actually stood in the center. Zhang Zhize, who claimed to be the surrendered governor, stood beside the middle-aged man, pointed at Huo Biao with a smile on his face, and said to the middle-aged man: "Wan Shuzuo, please see, he is Huo Biao, the grandson of Huo Yi, the governor of Wei's thief Nanzhong."

"Well, it's not bad." The middle-aged man who was called Wan Shuzuo by Zhang Zhi nodded, and asked with a foreign accent, with a proud attitude: "Governor Zhang, have you confirmed his identity? Could it be that someone else pretended to be?"

"Don't worry, Wan Shuzuo, I've confirmed it, it's true that it's Huo Yi's grandson Huo Biao."

Zhang Zhi replied with a smile, and said to Huo Biao: "Major General, let me introduce you to Mr. Wan, the disciple of General Lu Anti-Lu General, the general of the Eastern Wu Zhenjun. He was ordered by General Lu to travel thousands of miles to contact our Han army."

"Bah! Wu Gou!" Huo Biao was furious when he heard this and immediately cursed, "Zhang Zhi, take this Wu Gou away immediately. The one I general hates the most in his life is the Eastern Wu Dog Thief!"

Zhang Zhi was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said to Wan Shuzuo: "Don't blame Wan Shuzuo. Although Huo Biao was captured alive by us, his attitude was always extremely stubborn. I hope Wan Shuzuo should not take it to heart if it is offensive."

"It's okay, why would I beg for such a prisoner?" Wan Shuzuo waved his hand with a graceful look and said in a big way: "Governor Zhang, since you really captured Huo Yi's grandson alive, then just hand over this Huo Biao to me, and let me take him back to Jingzhou and hand it over to our generals of the town."

Before Wan Shuzuo finished speaking, the blue veins on Huo Biao's forehead had already bulged, and the smile on Zhang Zhi's face completely frozen. A Han general next to him was even more furious and blurted out: "What did you say? I want us to hand over Huo Biao to you? Why should we hand over such an important prisoner to you?!"

"Because it is not safe to put Huo Biao here." Wan Shuzuo smiled and said, "The talks are too close to Jianning, and Huo Yi may come with the Wei army at any time. Once you can't defend the talks, let the Wei army enter the city and rescue Huo Biao. Wouldn't you have a hard time in vain? So to be safe, let me take Huo Biao to Jingzhou and present it to our General of Wu for you, so that the safest way."

"Dream!" The Han general said furiously: "We caught Huo Biao. How can we do it can only be decided by our governor. What does it have to do with you Wu people? You Wu people should not bully people too much!"

"Zhao Quan!" Zhang Zhi finally spoke, suppressed his anger and said, "Wan Shuzuo is an envoy of the Eastern Wu, we cannot be rude to him!"

"Governor, it's not that we are rude, it's that they are too rude to others!"

Zhao Quan was also angry and said without thinking: "They promised to send reinforcements to us, but the reinforcements have not even seen any shadows yet! They just sent a small Shuzuo to ask us to fight to the death and wait for the assistance, which was clearly perfunctory to us! Then they had to say a few light words, and wanted to take away the important prisoners we had been experiencing with hard work. The Wu people had no sincerity to reinforce us!"

"Zhao Quan--!" Zhang Zhi dragged his voice long and said with a painful expression: "Dongwu is our ally, and we cannot be rude to our ally envoys. This is an order!"

Zhao Quan had no choice but to keep silent, but Wan Shuzuo was arrogant and said to Zhang Zhi: "Don't worry, Governor Zhang, as long as you hand over this Huo Biao to me to take it away to prove your alliance's sincerity, then the reinforcements that our general of the town army agreed to send you will definitely arrive as soon as possible and will never be untrustworthy to you."

Zhang Zhi looked helpless and said after a while: "Wan Shuzuo, the banquet to welcome you should be ready. Let's go to have a meal first, and then slowly discuss other things."

After saying that, Zhang Zhi swallowed his anger and made an invitation to Wan Shuzuo. Wan Shuzuo walked away in a big way, and said as he walked: "Okay, it's okay to have a meal first, but Governor Zhang, I have to decide the person. No matter how you discuss, Huo Biao must be handed over to me to bring back to Dongwu!"

Zhang Zhi refused to answer, and then after Wan Shuzuo walked out of the door, Zhang Zhicai shouted at his personal soldiers with a dark face: "Look at this governor, you must not let him run away, let alone let him commit suicide!"

The personal soldier sang Nuo, and then Zhang Zhi rushed out of the door with his hands behind his back, leaving Huo Biao gritting his teeth in the room, and said to himself: "If Zhang Zhi's son really handed me over to Wu Gou, then I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately, and would rather die than be a prisoner of Wu Gou!"

…………

After it was dark, Zhang Zhi came to Huo Biao's room again, sat next to the desk with oil lamps, and said to Huo Biao: "Major General, come and sit down. I think we should sit down and have a good talk too."

After hesitating for a while, Huo Biao sat opposite Zhang Zhi with his shackles and said with a stern face: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhang Zhi gave Huo Biao a reassurance and said in a deep voice: "This governor can guarantee that no matter what happens, I will never hand you over to the Dongwu dog thief!"

"Really?" Huo Biao asked skeptically.

"This governor swears to Prime Minister Zhuge and General Jiang Wei's spirit of heaven, you should believe this, right?" Zhang Zhi asked back, and said, "And I can tell you the truth. In fact, my hatred of the dog thief in the Eastern Wu is still far above you."

"Then you still ask for help from the Eastern Wu dog thieves? Induce the wolf into the house and put the Eastern Wu dog thieves into the Nanzhong?" Huo Biao was furious.

"Do I have a choice?" Zhang Zhi asked back, and said, "Have you heard of my embarrassment when Wu Lian raised an army? There were less than 200 soldiers and less than 4,000 people. The government orders did not leave the city gate. They looked around and were helpless. If you were in my position at that time, would you ask for help from your ally Dongwu?"

"I would rather die than bow to Wu Gou!" Huo Biao answered firmly.

"The child said anger." Zhang Zhi sneered and said, "Stop talking about it. Even our prime minister and general still ask for help from the Eastern Wu in order to restore the great cause of the Han Dynasty? I have a clear conscience to do this."

After saying that, Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "But I still underestimated Wu Gou's greed and shamelessness. Do you know what kind of conditions did the Wu Gou envoy put forward for reinforcements today? In addition to asking me to hand you over to him, we also asked Wu Gou, the commander of our Han army, to provide them with all the military supplies and food, and to hand over the secret of instant noodles to them."

"Now I know how shameless Wu Gou is?" Huo Biao asked gloatingly.

Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Major General, I have carefully considered it. You, I will never hand it over to Wu Gou. I will not only feel guilty in doing so, but also will definitely hate me to the core, and will not listen to my good words again. He will lead the soldiers of the Southern Central Army to return to the Han Dynasty and join forces with us to restore the Han Dynasty."

"But we can't keep you so for free. Wu Gou will definitely not let you go, and he will definitely try every means to force me to hand you over to them!"

Zhang Zhi raised his voice a little, then slowed down his voice, and said, "I, Zuo Si, think again, just do this. You write a letter to your grandfather and ask him to take out a batch of military supplies to exchange you back. Would you like it?"

"Do you want to exchange me for military supplies?" Huo Biao asked in surprise.

"Or why should I keep you?" Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Is it possible to force your grandfather to surrender with your life?"

Huo Biao hesitated for a while and asked, "Then what military supplies do you want? How much do you want?"

"Ten thousand iron armor." Zhang Zhishi said, "Ten thousand military iron-headed ring knives, ten thousand iron spearheads, three thousand strong bows, two thousand powerful crossbows, ten thousand feather arrows, and one thousand more feather arrows, and one thousand more Zhuge crossbows, ten thousand cold clothes, ten thousand tents, and a thousand war horses."

"You dream!" Huo Biao flatly refused and said, "What kind of grandfather is, how could he take out so many military weapons to exchange me back?"

"If you think it's too much, you can negotiate." Zhang Zhi said readily: "Tell your grandfather directly, and say I can ask him to exchange you with military supplies and ask him to send someone to negotiate with me. Then, as long as the price he gave can satisfy me, I will let you go immediately."

Huo Biao was a little shaken, and Zhang Zhize said again: "What? Major General, do you want to be our prisoner for the rest of your life and never see your grandfather again? Isn't the conditions proposed by this governor sincere enough?"

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Huo Biao made up his mind and said, "No matter what, contact your grandfather first, so that he can rest assured that I am fine now, and let him know that there is still a chance to save me. Otherwise, if time is delayed, Zhang Zhi's son will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Eastern Wu dog thief, and he may really hand me over to Wu Gou."

Having thought about this, Huo Biao opened his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to my grandfather, asking him to use military weapons to exchange me for it and send someone to negotiate with you."

"The Major General is wise." Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "As long as we all have sincerity, I believe that the Major General will be able to go back and reunite with the veteran general soon."

After saying that, Zhang Zhi said again: "Major General, you can write the content of the letter at will, but there are some sensitive things. Please don't mention them. Do you understand?"

It was okay for Zhang Zhi not to mention this matter. After mentioning this matter, Huo Biao's eyes lit up immediately. He thought of a very smart idea. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said coldly: "Come on a silk pen, I will write a letter overnight. The letter will be delivered to my grandfather by your hands. Of course I know what to write and what not to write."

Zhang Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and that was why the personal soldiers brought silk pens to Huo Biao to write letters overnight. He returned to his residence to rest on time and took care of his precious life. Then it goes without saying that the oil lamp in Huo Biao's room was of course not exhausted all night. Huo Biao sat in front of the desk and racked his brains, desperately brewing words, and quietly hid some key situations in the letters...

The next morning, Huo Biao's hard work sent the letter to Zhang Zhi. Of course, Zhang Zhi also carefully checked it. At first, Zhang Zhi was worried that his writing style was not good, and he could not tell whether Huo Biao's letters were playing tricks. However, according to the modern people's habit of reading from left to right, Zhang Zhi almost laughed and screamed.

Huo Biao's long letters were read from left to right. The first four words in the top row were - Wu (Wu) people without trust. The first four words in the bottom row were - no troops were sent.

After slapping the table for a while, Zhang Zhi asked Xue Rang to write a threatening and inducement letter to Huo Yi. While asking Huo Yi to take out military supplies and exchange Huo Biao, he threatened that Lu Kang had sent him 16,000 reinforcements and would arrive in Jingke soon. He suggested that Huo Yi make a smart choice as soon as possible, so as not to regret it when the Han and Wu coalition forces were at the city of Wei County.

The messenger's mission was still handed over to the old lackey Mo Sheng. Because Yang Ji and Huo Biao were in hand, the mission was definitely not very dangerous, so Mo Sheng also readily sang Nuo to accept the order. Zhang Zhize reminded again: "Mo Cao, after seeing Huo Yi, you must pull the Eastern Wu out to scare the thieves in the South China at any time, pretending that we were really helping with the Eastern Wu reinforcements. Only in this way, Huo Yi's old fox would definitely suspect that we were bluffing."

"And," Zhang Zhi added, "You can also tell Old Man Huo that we are unwilling to hand over Huo Biao to the envoy of the Eastern Wu, so that he can be anxious and worry that after we are desperate, we will give his precious grandson to the Wu people for reinforcements, or take his grandson to escape to the Eastern Wu."

"Don't worry, the governor, it's not the first time I've done such a thing. The custody of the subordinates will not disappoint you." Mo Sheng replied with a smile and asked again: "Governor, are there any arrangements?"

Zhang Zhi thought about it and inadvertently made a decision that had a huge impact on himself. He said, "Take some of our instant noodles and candies to give to Huo Yi, which means we are etiquette and clearly tell him, just say that we can never finish eating these things, which makes the old man feel that we are bragging and don't take us to heart."
