Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

"What? Impossible!"

Everyone was incredulous.

"That's right! White Sand City has been reinforced over generations. Its walls are high, thick, and incredibly sturdy, and its defenses are complete. How could it be easily breached!"

One of the generals stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and said.

"Besides, Wen Hui is still in the city. He has always been good at strategizing. How could Baisha City have been breached so quickly?"

The other general also frowned, echoing the question with a puzzled expression.

Sima Yi's hands trembled slightly with excitement as he shouted:

"This is really strange. White Sand City is so heavily defended, it shouldn't be like this!"

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Kundus shook his head helplessly and slowly recounted the detailed process of how the Han army breached Baisha City.

Fritz paused for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly realized what he meant and slapped his forehead:
"I never imagined that the Yuezhi people would leave a secret passage in White Sand City!"

It turned out that Xiao Fang had meticulously planned this after learning about the secret passage.

He planned to use this secret passage to send his elite troops to infiltrate the city and coordinate with the main army outside to capture Baisha City in one fell swoop!

"Binu! How dare the Yuezhi people do this!"

"Usaas! You traitor!"

"You actually colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed me!"

Fritz was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed his fist on the table, making it vibrate loudly.

Sima Yi, who was listening nearby, suddenly understood and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, pondering to himself:

He had been planning for a long time, but he never expected that Xiao Fang would be able to conquer Baisha City so easily with this secret passage. It seemed that even the heavens were on his side!
"hateful!"

Sima Yi gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead:
"Xiao Fang, you're so lucky! You always seem to encounter the best things in life!"

"hateful!"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, grinding his teeth as if he wanted to devour Xiao Fang alive.

After a long pause, Sima Yi suppressed his anger and cupped his hands, saying:

"Heavenly Emperor, do not panic."

"Although Xiao Ze has captured Baisha City, what good is it?"

"We can still defeat the Han Kingdom, recover the Yuezhi, and restore our prestige!"

Fritz froze, his eyes widening in disbelief, and said:

"Xiao Fang has even captured Baisha City, and he will soon invade my Parthian Kingdom."

"Disaster is imminent, yet you say we can still defeat the Han Kingdom? Are you out of your mind?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly, confidently saying:
"Xiao Fang's victory over Baisha City was merely a fluke, not a reflection of the Han army's true strength. Your Majesty, don't forget that you still hold the important stronghold of Heishi Pass!"

"This pass is strategically important, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"The Heavenly Emperor can first send a vanguard cavalry to Black Stone Pass, relying on its treacherous terrain to block the Han army at the pass."

"At that time, the Heavenly Emperor will lead a large army to attack from both sides and will surely defeat the Han army!"

"If the Han army is defeated, wouldn't the Heavenly Emperor be able to take the opportunity to recover the Yuezhi?"

Upon hearing this, Fritz's anger gradually subsided, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

After a moment's thought, he said happily:
"You're right, Xiao Fang was just lucky to capture Baisha City."

"But it won't be so easy for him to invade my Parthian Empire again!"

Having said that, Fritz suddenly stood up and demanded:

"Who dares to defend Blackrock City?"

"Your subject is willing to go!"

Marshal Parthia stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a loud voice.

Fritz's eyes lit up, and upon closer inspection, he realized that the marshal who had volunteered for the mission was none other than Suyes.

This Suyes was Parthia's most powerful general, highly skilled in martial arts and extremely prestigious in the army.

Fritz was overjoyed and quickly went to help Suyes up:

"Very well, Suyes, you shall go to Black Stone Pass immediately to stop the Han army. I believe you will succeed!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, with your humble servant leading the troops, we will surely defend Black Stone Pass and ensure that the Han army never returns!"

Suyes made his vow, his eyes revealing unwavering determination and confidence.

Fritz immediately dispatched Suyes with elite troops to Blackrock City, traveling day and night.

At the same time, Sima Yi suggested sending the Han general Zhao Ang to assist Suyes. Zhao Ang was quite familiar with the Han army's combat methods and would certainly be able to provide some assistance.

After a moment's thought, Fritz agreed to the proposal.

...

Several days later, at Black Stone Pass.

The Parthian army entered Blackstone Pass, and Sueyes stood on the city wall, looking eastward.

On the main road to the east, Han soldiers marched in a mighty procession, banners waving, war drums thundering, their momentum overwhelming.

At dusk, the Han army besieged the city.

Following Xiao Fang's order, the Han army swiftly advanced to the pass and set up camp, their camps stretching for miles, creating a formidable force.

"Marshal, the Han army is coming with great force and should not be underestimated."

Standing beside Suyes, Zhao Ang looked at the Han army below the city and couldn't help but feel worried. He quickly reminded them.

Suyes smiled arrogantly and said dismissively:
"These Han soldiers don't seem like anything special; they're just a bunch of rabble."

Zhao Ang reminded him again:
"Marshal, we must not forget the lesson of Marshal Kanla. He also underestimated the Han army and ended up being defeated and killed."

Upon hearing this, Suyes frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face!
This Suyes, as Parthia's most powerful general, has always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, especially the Han Kingdom.

Zhao Ang repeatedly warned him, which undoubtedly angered Suyes.

"Zhao Ang, you're scared of Xiao Fang, aren't you?"

Suyes glanced coldly at Zhao Ang and said disdainfully:
"You may be afraid of him, but we are not!"

"If he dares to attack Blackrock City, I will make sure he dies here!"

Zhao Ang was startled. Seeing Suyes's arrogance, he secretly lamented that it would be useless to persuade him further, so he said nothing more.

Suyes snorted coldly and shouted:

"Order the soldiers to prepare."

"If the Han people dare to attack Blackstone City, you will all follow me and kill them all!"

Along the city line, the Parthian soldiers, having heard Suyes's words, brandished their weapons and roared arrogantly, as if victory was already in their grasp.

On the city wall, the Han camp.

The Han army set up camp outside the city, inside the large tent.

Xiao Fang summoned his strategists and generals to discuss a plan to break through Black Stone City.

"Prime Minister Xiao, what is there to fear about Blackstone City!"

Guan Xing stood up and said arrogantly:

"We will raze Blackrock City to the ground tomorrow!"

The generals echoed their sentiments. Having experienced the victory at White Sand City, their confidence soared, and many began to underestimate the Parthians, believing them to be easily defeated.

Xiao Fang, however, looked solemn and slowly said:
“You must not underestimate the enemy. Let my wife tell you about Blackrock City.”

As he spoke, Xiao gestured to Usas.

Ushas rose and entered the tent, bowing slightly as he said:
"Blackrock City is not a fortified city, but its commander, Suyes, is the most powerful warrior in Parthia, highly skilled in martial arts and brave in battle."

"If we launch a strong attack on Blackrock City, we can naturally break through it as well."

"But who knows how many soldiers will die under Suyes's blade."

"I believe that a direct assault is not worthwhile."

Usaas was quite wary of Suyes.

No wonder, when Usaus led his army to stop the Parthian invasion, he had fought against Suyes and knew his prowess well, so he was the most qualified to speak on the matter.

"What you say makes sense."

Lu Xun nodded and analyzed:
"Fritz is probably trying to use Blackrock to hold us back. When we've been besieging it for a long time and our morale is low, he'll bring his main force to attack us from both sides. That would be dangerous for us."

Upon hearing this, the generals' arrogance was somewhat suppressed.

Guan Xing then said:

"If we don't launch a full-scale attack, how can we break through Blackrock City?"

What are Suyes's weaknesses?

Xiao Fang turned his gaze to Usa, hoping she could provide an answer.

Usas remained silent, head bowed in thought. (End of Chapter)
