The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 547 546 Jingzhou Changes Owner (18)

As soon as this remark came out, Xiang Lang was stunned for a while, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Fei: "General, we made a bet before, have you forgotten?"

Zhang Fei said: "I haven't forgotten. But he doesn't want to surrender, and I can't help it. I don't kill him. After letting him go back, he will still deal with me in the same way."

Xiang Lang said: "Fu Xun is a well-known celebrity in Jingzhou. If the general kills him, the rest of the celebrities in Jingzhou will be chilled. What happened to Pang Ji must not be repeated. It is better for the general to kill Fu Xun. Leave it to me, I'll persuade him, if you really don't want to surrender, let's talk about it."

Zhang Fei said: "Well then, Mr. Xiang, I will only give you one day. If Fu Xun does not surrender at this time tomorrow, I will be in charge of everything. Mr. Xiang, please don't say that I didn't Save face for you..."

Xiang Lang nodded.

Zhang Fei then led the army, and under the warm welcome of Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi, they filed into the city, and the people in the whole Linyuan City also lined up to welcome them, which seemed very lively.

As Fu Xun, the prefect of Wuling, seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart. When he came, there was no such a grand scene, how could Zhang Fei be treated like this.Moreover, the smiles on the faces of those common people did not seem to be fake.

Seeing the doubt on Fu Xun's face, Xiang Lang walked up to Fu Xun's side and whispered, "Don't forget, Liu Bei used to be the prefect of Wuling, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been here much longer than you. "

"Oh... no wonder!" Fu Xun suddenly realized.

Xiang Lang untied Fu Xun himself, and said to Fu Xun, "Brother Fu, let's go!"

Fu Xun was taken aback, and asked, "You...you let me go like this?"

Xiang Lang nodded.

"But, after you let me go, what should you explain to Zhang Fei?" Fu Xun asked worriedly.

Xiang Lang said: "I'm just Zhang Fei's aide, not his subordinate. I can do it or not. But brother Fu's life is important. I'll let you go. Zhang Fei can say a few words about me at most. Don't dare to do anything to me."

"No, I can't implicate you absolutely!" Fu Xun said, "I'll go find Zhang Fei right away, and let him deal with me."

Xiang Lang grabbed Fu Xun's hand, and said to Fu Xun, "Brother Fu, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. I'll take care of this place. Zhang Fei won't do anything to me."

Fu Xun said stubbornly: "No, I won't leave, I absolutely can't implicate you."

"If you don't leave, you will be the biggest burden!" Xiang Lang said.

Fu Xun frowned, looked at Xiang Lang's anxious expression, and asked, "Brother Xiang, you and I have known each other for a while. We used to work under Liu Jingzhou back then. I also know everything about you. Chu, Liu Jingzhou had no choice but to dismiss you back then, and Liu Jingzhou didn't know anything about what Cai Mao did. But even if Liu Jingzhou knew, Cai's party almost controlled the entire Jingzhou at that time Under the current situation, Liu Jingzhou was helpless. Besides, this incident has been going on for so long, and later the eldest son also avenged your family, restored your Xiang family's reputation, and even sent someone to arrest your two My nephew came to Xiangyang to make up for the mistakes he made back then. But you, how could you follow Zhang Fei and openly deal with the eldest son. Do you know who sent someone to assassinate Liu Jingzhou?"

Both Xiang Lang and Fu Xun used to be officials in Xiangyang. When Liu Biao first took charge of Jingzhou, he did everything himself and accepted advice with humility. In addition, Jingzhou became the first choice for celebrities to escape the war. A large number of celebrities flocked to Jingzhou, and people were willing to flock to Liu Biao.And Xiang Lang and Fu Xun were among them.Jingzhou at that time could be called a paradise.But since Liu Biao married the Cai family, everything began to change. Liu Biao was cronyist and handed over half of his troops to Cai Hao. After that, Liu Biao indulged in Cai's gentle hometown every day, and began to gradually close himself up, not receiving many visits. Outsiders like to let Cai Mao handle everything on their behalf.

As time passed, Cai Mao became more and more courageous, appointed members of the Cai clan wantonly, and placed members of the Cai clan in various prominent positions, and later won over some local aristocratic families, thus forming a huge party wing.

The Cai family is a wealthy family in Jingzhou. There are immigrants from all walks of life, from all walks of life, from all walks of life. Liu Biao has a broad mind. As long as he comes to Jingzhou, he will make reasonable arrangements, and even allocate land for some poor people.

This has damaged the interests of the local rich families in Jingzhou to a certain extent. When the immigrants started business, they could be said to be of high quality and cheap, which brought a lot of impact on the business monopolized by the local wealthy families.As a result, these wealthy families united together, began to exclude dissidents, and even used unfair means to compete aggressively in business.

All of these are centered on the Cai family, and Cai Mao himself is personally involved.It's a pity that Liu Biao was kept in the dark, and he was so stupid that he was deceived by Cai Hao, saying that the people who immigrated here were all refugees, and they were very aggressive, which made Jingzhou restless. To suppress.

Liu Biao believed it was true, so he agreed to Cai Mao's request and ordered Cai Mao to start suppressing the refugees. As a result, tens of thousands of refugees were squeezed for no reason by the Cai family and forced to become slaves of the Cai family and other wealthy families. Their land was also taken by the Cai family and others. People carve up.

This incident aroused Xiang Lang's extreme dissatisfaction, so he went to the government office to meet Liu Biao, and wanted Liu Biao to know the real situation of the whole matter.As a result, Xiang Lang did not see Liu Biao, but was stopped by the guards arranged by Cai Shi at the door, preventing Xiang Lang from entering.

Xiang Lang had a straightforward temper and was also a jealous person at the time, so he insisted on breaking in, but ended up in a conflict with the guards and injured one of them by mistake.

Cai Hao then used this incident to make a fuss, tricking Liu Biao into punishing Xiang Lang, and Liu Biao's new wife, Cai Shi, was blowing the pillow again. Liu Biao dismissed Xiang Lang and drove Xiang Lang out of the house without investigation. Xiangyang.

Afterwards, Xiang Lang was furious and publicized Cai Mao's actions everywhere, which had a very bad influence on Cai Mao's reputation. Cai Mao was so angry that he sent someone to arrest Xiang Lang, but Xiang Lang had already run away without a trace. disappeared.But if you can run to a monk, you can't run to a temple. Xiang Lang is from Yicheng County, Xiangyang, and his ancestors have lived here for generations. The Xiang family is also a wealthy family in Jingzhou, but because the Xiang family has been officials for generations, all members of the family are talented. People, so don't deal with other wealthy families.

Cai Hao took advantage of this opportunity to unite with the rest of the powerful clans and adopt various means to persecute the Xiang clan, which directly led to the destruction of the Xiang clan and the expulsion of the entire clan.

Fu Xun brought up the past, which also brought back many unbearable past events in Xiang Lang's mind. The more he thought about it, the more Xiang Lang felt aggrieved, and said to Fu Xun: "It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and good birds choose trees to live in. A good minister chooses the master, and I just chose a better path that I think. Although Cai Mao was the mastermind of what happened back then, if Liu Biao had been more shrewd, such a thing would never have happened. Then I Xiang Jia 130 Nine people will not be wronged to death in vain. I did not blame Liu Biao for this vengeance, which is already the greatest kindness to him. You still have the nerve to say that I was not because you said something wrong back then Did you just say a word and be dismissed from office? Don't you hate Liu Biao at all?"

"What's the use of hating? Liu Biao is dead. The current Jingzhou Mu is Liu Qi, the eldest son. The eldest son is gentle and generous, and has a young man named Sima Yi as his assistant. Given time, Jingzhou will surely Restore the former style. Liu Bei sent someone to assassinate Liu Jingzhou. This is a treasonous act. As Liu Bei's brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare to say that they don't know? If you keep following Zhang Fei like this, sooner or later you will regret it." Fu Xun said .

Xiang Lang frowned, and said to Fu Xun: "If it wasn't for the sake of my former colleagues, I wouldn't have pleaded for you. Before I change my mind, go!"

"I won't go! I will never implicate you. I, Fu Xun, stand upright and sit upright. I don't need others to bear the consequences for me. But I also advise you that I will not surrender. I will kill or cut , listen to your honor." Fu Xun said.

This time, Xiang Lang finally knew that Fu Xun had already put life and death aside, and instead of persuading Fu Xun to surrender, he took Fu Xun directly into the city, preparing to meet Zhang Fei and hand it over to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei entered the city under the unanimous warm welcome of the soldiers and civilians of Linyuan City. Sha Moke and Peng Tuo, who came with Zhang Fei, had never seen such a scene before, and they were also welcomed, and they were all full of joy.

Jin Xuan welcomed Zhang Fei into the government office, and asked Gong Zhi to take Sha Moke and Peng Tuo to the military camp to settle down.

As soon as Zhang Fei and Jin Xuan walked into the hall of the government office, Xiang Lang brought Fu Xun in and followed him in, shouting loudly: "General Zhang, Fu Xun refuses to surrender, you should punish him!"

Zhang Fei turned his head, first glanced at Xiang Lang, saw that Xiang Lang's face was full of anger, and Fu Xun's expression was not very good-looking, so he asked, "Mr. Xiang, is something wrong?"

"no!"

Zhang Fei said: "Since there is no one, then please bother Mr. Xiang to continue persuading Fu Xun to surrender. Anyway, I gave Mr. Xiang a day. During this day, I will not interfere with your affairs. At this time tomorrow, Mr. Xiang will come again." Tell me whether Fu Xun is willing to surrender."

After Fu Xun heard this, he immediately said impatiently: "Zhang Fei, don't be hypocritical, I tell you, I will never surrender, so you should give up your heart. If you want to kill or cut, listen to your respect." !"
