The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 543 542 Jingzhou Changes Owner (14)

Seeing Zhang Fei's strong interest in his words, Xiang Lang said, "The general once stayed in Jingnan, so it can be said that he knows the situation in Jingnan well. Now that Quanling City has been breached by the general, the entire county of Lingling will be destroyed." Submit to the general, and Wuling will definitely become the general's possession in the near future. If the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang are united again, the general will have four counties, and the foundation of the former General Liu can still be restored, so as to shoulder the responsibility of the general. Taking advantage of General Liu’s unfulfilled dream, using the four counties in Jingnan as the foundation, using the conflict between Sun Quan and Jingzhou to prompt the two families to go to war, in this way, the general can reap the benefits of the fisherman.”

After Zhang Fei heard it, he immediately understood what Xiang Lang meant. He wanted him to lead the team to do it alone.But Zhang Fei savored it carefully. He, Liu Bei and Guan Yu have been in Jingnan for many years and have established a lot of personal connections. Moreover, the people in Jingnan also support Liu Bei very much. Not impossible.

However, Zhang Fei couldn't do such a thing. After all, this matter was too important. He had to discuss it with his second brother Guan Yu first.

"This matter is of great importance. I have to discuss it with my second brother. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Please, sir, come up with a way for me to teach Zhu Ran a lesson." Zhang Fei said.

Xiang Lang said: "What's so difficult about this? Although Zhu Ran is Sun Quan's confidant, and their family has a good relationship with the Sun family, but Zhu Ran is Zhu Ran, and Sun Quan is Sun Quan. The general just writes down the ins and outs of this incident. A letter was sent to Sun Quan, saying that the general released Pang Ji in order to buy people's hearts. If the prefect of Wuling heard that Pang Ji had been released, perhaps the prefect of Wuling would take the initiative to surrender, but now Zhu Ran is so The trouble made the prefect of Wuling very afraid and dared not surrender, and led the army and the people to resist to the death, which made the general's plan fail. As long as this letter is sent to Sun Quan, the general will no longer have to worry about Zhu Ran. As long as Sun Quan receives it I believe that Zhu Ran will definitely be transferred away, and Zhu Ran's army will be handed over to the general to command and continue to attack Wuling County."

"It's such a good strategy, Mr. is really amazing." After hearing this, Zhang Fei slapped his thigh hard and said.

Xiang Lang said: "If this plan is successful, after General Zhang captures Wuling, because the general is in Jingnan and is very familiar with Jingnan, Sun Quan will definitely rely heavily on General Guan and General Zhang to hand over the four counties of Jingnan Two generals to manage. In this way, the two generals will have the capital to deal with Liu Qi and Sun Quan with the help of the four Jingnan counties, and to catalyze the relationship between them. Once the war breaks out, the generals can Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if Sun Quan wins, he will join forces with Sun Quan to attack Liu Qi. If Liu Qi wins, he will join forces with Liu Qi to deal with Sun Quan. Jingzhou is already under the general's subordinates, and if we use this as the cornerstone to compete for supremacy in the world, we will surely achieve great achievements!"

I have to say that Xiang Lang's words were very provocative, and they also had a very ambitious goal, which made Zhang Fei feel itchy.

After Zhang Fei heard this, he said to Xiang Lang: "Sir, these are all things to talk about later. We will talk about them later. The most urgent thing now is to let me get Zhu Ran away as soon as possible. If you don't mind this letter, Mr. Come and write it, and when it is finished, I will copy it and send it to Sun Quan.”

Xiang Lang smiled and said, "Okay then, then Xiang will show his shame."

After a while, Xiang Lang fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a letter on a piece of white paper.

After finishing writing, Xiang Lang handed the letter to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei read it quickly and felt very satisfied. It was more concise than what he wanted to write, and it only mentioned Zhu Ran incidentally. He didn't show that he deliberately brought up Zhu Ran's matter, but mentioned in passing that the main thing is to report on the battle situation.

Zhang Fei took the letter and took his leave. After returning to the mansion, he copied it himself, but after copying it, Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied, because the rhetoric written by Xiang Lang in the letter was very gorgeous, and it was not like him at all. Written by a fool.So the careful Zhang Fei wrote some of the things in his own words, and then sent someone to Sun Quan.

After the letter was sent out, Zhang Fei wrote another letter. This letter was addressed to Guan Yu. He wanted to ask Guan Yu about his future plans, and told Guan Yu that he met a counselor in Lingling and planned a plan for him. A plan, I don't know if Guan Yu is interested in working on the plan.At the same time, Zhang Fei also expressed his interest in what Xiang Lang said. He wanted to make great achievements and be famous in history.

Zhang Fei didn't give this letter to others casually, but called Liu Xian and asked Liu Xian to go to Changsha in person instead of him.

Because there is no one trustworthy around Zhang Fei, except for his drinking buddy Liu Xian, he can't find another person.

So, Liu Xian took Zhang Fei's letter and officially left Quanling City, took a boat, went all the way downstream along the Xiangshui River, and went directly to Linxiang, the county town of Changsha.

But Zhang Fei stayed in Lingling City, in the name of rectifying the army, and stopped going to Wuling.Moreover, he came to Lingling this time because of Zhu Ran's plea for help. Now that he has helped Zhu Ran's army overcome the difficulties, instead of thanking him, Zhu Ran opposed him and released him. Pang Ji was brutally killed, and this matter has been stuck in Zhang Fei's mind for a long time.

That night, Zhu Ran's army held a grand carnival party in the camp outside the city. Zhu Ran invited Zhang Fei to attend, but Zhang Fei never showed up. In addition, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang tried their best to slander Zhang Fei, which made Zhu Ran even more annoyed. In a rage, he wrote a letter suing Zhang Fei and sent it to Sun Quan. He also stopped the army here to rest temporarily, not planning to attack Wuling, but waiting quietly, hoping to see Zhang Fei being reprimanded by Sun Quan.

So, Zhang Fei lived in the city with the Shanyue Army and the surrendered barbarians, while Zhu Ran led the army and still lived outside the city.

……

Changsha, Linxiang City, the hall of the prefect's mansion.

Guan Yu was sitting in the hall of the prefect's mansion, holding Zhang Fei's letter in his hand, reading it carefully, then raised his head, and said to Liu Xian who was sitting in the hall: "The third brother sent you here, it is For this matter?"

Liu Xian nodded and said: "General Guan, General Zhang said that this matter is very important. He needs to get General Guan's advice. If General Guan agrees, he will act according to the plan and start working for the two generals." If General Guan objects to his plan for the future, then he will hide his name with General Guan after revenge, and then go to live in seclusion in a place where no one is there. I don’t know what opinion General Guan has?"

"Xiang Lang's plan is good, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. The third brother has always been bold and cautious, but he can't do this alone. The eldest brother is dead. If I don't help him, then what brother do we have? Is there any sense of friendship? You go back and tell the third brother that since he is interested in this plan, I will support him with all my strength. However, the snake will never go away, and one of us must be chosen as the master , you ask him, if I were to be the master, see if he has any objections." Guan Yu said bluntly to Liu Xian.

Liu Xian nodded and asked, "General Guan, do you have anything else to say to General Zhang?"

"No more, that's all!" Guan Yu said.

Liu Xian shook his fist at Guan Yu, took his leave immediately, and hurried back to Quanling City.

After Liu Xian left, Guan Yu couldn't bear the joy in his heart. He carefully read the letter written by Zhang Fei, and then imagined the strategy Xiang Lang gave, and felt that his life might be different from now on. He has embarked on a different track, but this track is still full of unknowns, and Guan Yu has no confidence that he can do well.

In fact, Guan Yu didn't want to compete with Zhang Fei to be the lord, but when he thought that his third brother became the lord, he would have to salute when he saw the third brother in the future. , It was a bit embarrassing, and only then did I think that I would be the lord. Anyway, the third brother, Zhang Fei, was already used to saluting him, so why not let him, the second brother, continue to be the master.

At the same time, the envoy sent by Zhang Fei was on his way to Nanchang with his secret letter, and Zhu Ran's envoy was also on the way. After asking, they learned that they were all their own people, so they went together, but kept secret about what happened.

Two days later, the two scouts arrived in Nanchang at the same time. After entering the city, the two separated immediately. The scout sent by Zhang Fei went directly to Sun Quan's mansion to find Sun Quan, while Zhu Ran's scout went home first. Handed Zhu Ran's letter to Zhu Zhi, and asked Zhu Zhi to pass the letter to Sun Quan.

Zhu Zhi is Zhu Ran's father and a veteran of Jiangdong. When Jiangdong was founded, Zhu Zhi never left the Sun family. He served Sun Jian and Sun Ce successively. He can be described as "the veteran of the three dynasties".In addition, because Zhu Zhi protected the Sun family in every possible way during the war, Sun Quan's mother was very grateful to the Zhu family. She often mentioned Zhu Zhi's contribution to the Zhu family among her sons, hoping that they would remember , don't be ungrateful in the future.

On this day, Sun Quan was approving official documents in the mansion. People reported that Zhang Fei sent scouts, brought a secret letter from Zhang Fei, and handed it directly to Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan opened it and took a quick glance, the expression on his face changed. He slapped the table angrily and cursed loudly, "You're a guy who doesn't succeed enough, but fails too much!"

Coincidentally, when Zhu Zhi came from outside the door, he suddenly heard that Sun Quan was so angry, so he asked, "My lord, what's the matter, you are so angry?"
