Step on a branch

Chapter 321 Pivot
Mao Gu'an jumped off the drum stand.

The drumstick was handed over to the soldier, and he strode to the front, looked at Yu Bai and the others not far away, and murmured "Obey".

Qin Luan suggested some spices, not to mention what Feng Zhong thought, but Mao Gu'an felt that it was a worthless business.

It's best if it's useful, or it's fine if it's useless, but I'll spend a few more days with Yu Bai.

If you are lucky, you can shorten the ten days and a half months by three to five days, that would be a real fortune.

However, Mao Gu'an could never have imagined that Yu Bo surrendered after the night passed and just after dawn.

This, this is too immediate, right?

What did the spices make the defenders in Xizhou city dream about?
How scary does it have to be to be able to spend the night in chaos and vote at dawn?

Mao Gu'an touched his chin.

The granddaughter of the Marquis of Yongning, she is a strange person.

Liu Ben was also surprised.

They just came to beat the drums and blow the horns, to join in the fun, how did this happen?

Yu Bai surrendered so readily, but here they are not ready!

Not to mention the chief general Yongning Hou who was in charge of Feimenguan, even Feng Zhong who led the army to the west was still sitting in the garrison.

Liu Ben hurriedly summoned a messenger and said, "Go and report to General Feng that Xizhou has surrendered."

The messenger ran out like flying.

Lin Fan looked at Yu Bai and the others, and then looked up at the white flag on Xizhou City.

He wholeheartedly wanted to take down this city, but when this moment really came, he was really a little dazed.

He thought, he had to walk into Xizhou and step on the land under his feet, so that he could be really at ease.

While waiting for Feng Zhong, Lin Fan discussed with General Mao and ordered a lot of scouts to go out.

Any nearby place where an ambush can be set up must be seized, lest Yu Bai surrender falsely.

Soon, Feng Zhong arrived with people after hearing the news.

Confirming that Yu Bo really surrendered, Feng Zhong stepped forward and helped Yu Bo up.

"You and I are both leaders of the army. I know very well how difficult it is for General Yu to choose to surrender as the city guard," Feng Zhong said in a deep voice, "General Yu surrendered for the sake of the people, which is a high righteousness."

Yu Bai tried to force a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

Behind him, not to mention the red-eyed lieutenants, many soldiers were crying.

I have to cry, and I also cry for the comrades who lost their lives in the camp roar last night.

After Feng Zhong discussed with everyone, General Mao led half of the troops into Xizhou City, and the other half were still stationed outside the city.

Lin Fan rode his horse and followed Mao Gu'an into the city.

Yu Bai presented the city guard seal, and said to Lin Fan: "I have no face to look west, I can only look east, please arrange for me to leave and go to Feimenguan as a prisoner."

Mao Gu'an heard it from the side, and touched the tip of his nose.

When calling the battle before, all kinds of "disdainful" words kept coming out of the mouth, but at this moment, it is obviously impossible and embarrassing to say any more.

Lin Fan and Yu Bo said: "The general is heading east to Feimenguan, and we just meet General Li Jie, and we will have a bowl of wine together."

Hearing him mention Li Jie, Yu Bo smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid he's blaming me for being stubborn. If I had listened to him, I would have surrendered earlier, and I wouldn't have been in trouble."

As soon as the words fell, Mao Gu'an's eyes widened.

Lin Fan was also extremely surprised.

It turned out that the movement in Xizhou City last night was Ying Xiao.

No wonder Yu Bai suddenly surrendered.

The city changed hands, and many things happened.

The aftermath of the camp tsunami must be properly handled, the wounded and sick should be treated, the dead should be buried, and the gates of the various cities should be replaced with soldiers from the previous Zhou Dynasty, so as to appease the emotions of the people in the city...

By the time Lin Fan was so busy with things and climbed up the city wall, it was already sunset.

Qin Luan also boarded the city wall and walked to Lin Fan's side.

"Before the expedition, you told me that you would definitely let me see the scenery of Xizhou City," Qin Luan said softly, looking under the city wall, "Now, I have seen it."

The corners of Lin Fan's lips twitched slightly, he was smiling, and there was still a lot of emotion in the smile.

Beside him, the "Zhou" flag was blown up by the wind, rustling.

Along with the flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the flags of their leading generals were erected on the city wall.

On one side, the word "Lin" is written on it.

Lin Fan stood still and stared at the flag for a long time.

"Ten years ago, my father wanted to put this flag here." He said.

Qin Luan looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes were very red, as if the setting sun had also fallen into his eyes, and the color was more intense than the sunset.

Stretching out his hand, Qin Luan held Lin Fan's finger through the cover of his sleeve.

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, then he chuckled, held it with his backhand, and interlocked his fingers.

In the overlapping palms, apart from the other person's body temperature, one can also vaguely feel that heartbeat.

Qin Luan suppressed her voice and said softly: "Standing here, do you want to cry?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked down at Qin Luan.

Her eyes were bright and full of fun.

Knowing that she was naughty, but being asked and teased like this, the heavy sighs in his heart suddenly became much easier.

Can't help but laughed again.

Qin Luan also laughed.

Of course she could understand Lin Fan's state of mind.

When he finally set foot here, fulfilling his adoptive father's last wish, and laying an indispensable solid foundation for his future, he must have been filled with emotions.

If it were her, Qin Luan thought, she would probably want to cry a lot.

Emotions have to be vented, neither good nor bad can be completely suppressed in the heart.

But Lin Fan refused to cry.

That night, in the Duke's mansion, he saw the two fathers who had passed away with his own eyes, and looked at their old voices and smiles.

The expectations of his parents for him who had not been born flocked to him.

Under such heavy and heavy emotions, if there is the sweetness of father's love, it is also wrapped in deep pain.

Even so, Lin Fan didn't even cry at that time.

Qin Luan was sitting on the steps outside, completely perceiving Lin Fan's emotions through the Fu Ling.

Depressed, sobbing, roaring in his heart.

All night.

So silent, yet so deafening.

At that time, Lin Fan sorted out all his emotions by himself.

Now, Qin Luan wants to help him.

Since this person doesn't want to cry, then don't cry, she can make Lin Fan helpless and funny.

This can be regarded as a kind of "beating the master to death with random punches".

As for Lin Fan, his emotions relaxed a bit, and he said slowly: "I used to watch on the sand table, and I heard from my father that this place is important, that it connects things, and that sitting here and looking west is worthwhile.

This is my father's obsession, but it's a pity...

If he had won this city back then, the whole of Xiliang would have already been in his pocket.

I heard him talk a lot, and I knew it was important, but it wasn't until I stood here and looked at the north, south, east, west, and north from the city wall that I really realized what "connecting things" is. "

Qin Luan didn't interrupt, and listened to Lin Fan's story very carefully.

"With this city in hand, everything can be pictured," Lin Fan said, "This is my father's dream."

Just like what Lin Xuan arranged back then, Xizhou City was the most important fulcrum from beginning to end.

What it supports is not only the way of the Great Zhou to the west.

It also supported Lin Fan's way to the east to seize the throne.
