The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 589 588 The Burning Yangtze River (28)

After Guan Yu died, Zhang Yan ordered people to hang Guan Yu's head on the tower of Linxiang City. After seeing the Shanyue soldiers who were desperately resisting outside the city, they all felt that the situation was over. Some surrendered, some committed suicide, and some Desperately fighting against the Han army, he was finally chopped into meat.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the battle to be over, and the inside and outside of Linxiang City were completely controlled by Zhang Yan.The reason why he was able to kill Guan Yu and occupy Linxiang City so smoothly this time is due to Sima Yi's contribution, because it was Sima Yi who offered such a strategy to Zhang Yan.

Guan Yu was killed, Zhang Fei was defeated, and it was only a matter of time before the four counties in Jingnan were recovered. In addition, Zhang Yan learned that the reinforcements from Guangzhou were almost wiped out. The three of them were escorted to Nanchang and handed over to Sun Quan.

After dawn, Zhang Yan gathered all the generals and directly issued a new order, sending Li Tong to take Guiyang County, Wei Yan to take Lingling County, Yang Xiu stationed in Changsha, and fully responsible for everything in Jingnan. Zhaodu needs to listen to Yang Xiu.And he took Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Sima Yi, Ma Jun and others, led an army of [-] back to Dongting Lake, and began to prepare for the war against Jiangdong.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also issued an official document offering a reward for the purchase of Zhang Fei's head. Anyone who can offer Zhang Fei's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold and even be appointed an official.

Now that Guan Yu is dead, if he kills Zhang Fei again, it will be tantamount to cutting off the future troubles. Zhang Yan can let go of his hands and feet and deal with Sun Quan wholeheartedly. He no longer has to worry about Zhang Fei, a potential threat.

A few days later, the news of Guan Yu's murder spread throughout Jingnan, Guiyang County, and Lingling County. Li Tong and Wei Yan directly took him down without any effort.

Zhang Fei also received the news of Guan Yu's murder. He was still hiding in Yuanling County. When he heard the news, he was so angry that he fainted.

First Liu Bei died, then Guan Yu, and now Zhang Yan offered a thousand gold rewards for Zhang Fei's head. , Gong Zhi and others gathered around, and said slowly: "My elder brother and second elder brother are both dead. Back then when we were married to Jinlan, we swore to God that we don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to be born in the same year and the same month." Died on the same day. After the elder brother died, my second brother and I originally wanted to die, but when we thought that the elder brother had not been avenged, we endured the humiliation and took refuge in Sun Quan. We wanted to wait until we had avenged the elder brother before we died. But people are not as good as heaven Forget it, even the second brother is dead now, what's the point of me living alone in this world? It's better to die and meet the eldest brother and second brother under the Nine Springs..."

Hearing Zhang Fei's negative words, Fazheng interrupted Zhang Fei and said, "General Zhang, General Liu, and General Guan all died at the hands of Zhang Yan. Doesn't General Zhang want to avenge them?"

"Now that I've been reduced to this point, the remnant soldiers are defeated, so why talk about revenge? I guess I've already been killed by Zhang Yan's subordinates before I got close to Zhang Yan." Zhang Fei said negatively.

"General Zhang, it's human-made. As long as General Zhang wants to take revenge, there must be a way. Back then, King Gou Jian of Yue lived in hiding for 20 years before he was able to avenge his great revenge. How long has General Zhang been? If General Zhang is willing to follow my advice, a hero in this world, within 15 years, I will surely avenge General Zhang's vengeance!" Fazheng said confidently.

After hearing Fazheng's words, Zhang Fei was a little moved, and asked, "I have fallen to this level now, and I only have you guys under my command, with only a few hundred soldiers, but Zhang Yan is already the King of Yan today." Now, the power is huge, the strength is strong, if you want to take revenge, it's not easy!"

"It's all about human effort, general, don't be discouraged, as long as the general is willing to follow my advice, I can guarantee that the general will get revenge!" Fazheng said.

Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Fa, can you tell me what you think? If it is really feasible, let alone 15 years, even 25 years, 35 years, I can afford to wait."

Fazheng said: "General Zhang has the courage that is unworthy of all men, and he respects the scholar-bureaucrats very much. If I can change my temper again, treat those who are born in the army better, and don't whip them at will. If I love soldiers like children, I will dare to serve Zhang. The general offers this plan."

Zhang Fei frowned. Fazheng has only been with him for a short time, and he has already seen his shortcomings. He has a bad temper, doesn't care much about his subordinates, and prefers to whip soldiers who have made mistakes. He didn't expect these shortcomings. They were all seen by Fazheng.

Zhang Fei said. "As long as I can avenge my eldest brother and second brother, I am willing to do anything."

"Is this true?" Fazheng asked hastily.

"Once a man speaks a word, it's hard to chase after him." Zhang Fei patted his chest and said loudly.

Fazheng said: "Since this is the case, you might as well give it a try. If it succeeds, the general will become the number one problem for Yan Wang Zhang Yan in the next ten years!"

"Mr. Fa, don't be a fool, tell me what you want me to do?" Zhang Fei said.

Fazheng said, "I want General Zhang to enter Sichuan!"

"Into Sichuan?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes, although the Bashu area is remote, its advantage lies in its unique geographical advantages. The road to Shu is difficult, and the Guanshan is in the way. As long as you guard the passage to Shu, even if there is only one person guarding the pass, even if there are 1 people, don't even think about passing through here. Although Yizhou is now under the rule of Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is fatuous and incompetent, sitting on this treasure land of geomantic omen, but he can't do anything. , if General Zhang is willing to enter Sichuan, I have a way for General Zhang to replace Liu Zhang and become the lord of Yizhou. Once General Zhang becomes the lord of Yizhou, he can block the road to Shu and concentrate on developing in Yizhou secretly , accumulate strength, and then wait for the opportunity to compete with the world!" Fazheng said eloquently.

"How many talented people can there be in a remote place in Yizhou? Besides, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son have been in Yizhou for many years, so how can they be replaced so easily? General, don't be fooled by Fazheng, maybe he wants to put The general lied to Yizhou, and then secretly cut off the general's head, dedicated it to Yan Wang Zhang Yan, in order to gain fame!" Jin Xuan curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

When Jin Xuan said this, the rest of the people also began to suspect Fazheng's intentions. Although they didn't say anything, the way they looked at Fazheng had changed, especially Peng Tuo, whose fierce eyes seemed to want to It's like swallowing Fazheng.

"Xiaozhi is definitely not that kind of person, I believe in Xiaozhi!" Xiang Lang said.

Fazheng said: "The Qing is self-clearing, and I don't need to explain anything. If General Zhang trusts me, you can enter Sichuan with me. I can guarantee that General Zhang will become the lord of Yizhou. If General Zhang doesn't trust me, it's just me." There is no other way, either Xiaozhi will return to Sichuan alone, or ask General Zhang to kill me."

"Mr. Fa is willing to trust me. He came to Wuling with me to advise me. Why can't I trust Mr. Fa? Just follow what Mr. Fa said, enter Sichuan. In these two days, you should prepare first. Once you enter Sichuan, think about it again." It will be difficult to come back, if anyone is unwilling to go, I, Zhang Fei, will definitely not stop him." Zhang Fei said.

No one in the room spoke, so Zhang Fei looked around and said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled like this. In three days, we will enter Sichuan with Mr. Fa!"

After Jin Xuan heard Zhang Fei's words, he hesitated a little psychologically. After the meeting ended, he sent someone to invite Gong Zhi to his room.

When Gong Zhi arrived, he exchanged pleasantries with Jin Xuan first, and then asked, "My lord summoned me, what's the matter?"

Jin Xuan said: "You and I have worked together, at least five or six years?"

"My lord, you made a mistake. After this month, it will be seven years." Gong Zhi said.

Jin Xuan sighed, and said: "Oh, it's been seven years before I know it, how many seven years can there be in life? I think I fled from Guanzhong to seek refuge here seven years ago, and then I worked in Wuling County for seven years. Years, but now it is nothing. Master Gong, to be honest, during the seven years we have worked together, have I always treated you like a good brother?"

Gong Zhi nodded and said, "Your Excellency treats me like a brother. Besides, it was also Your Excellency who single-handedly promoted me. Speaking of which, Your Excellency has the kindness to know me."

Jin Xuan waved his hand and said: "Your current achievements are all due to your ability, and have nothing to do with me. I just recommended talented people, so that talents like you will not be wiped out."

"Anyway, in Gong Zhi's heart, my lord is Gong Zhi's benefactor."

Jin Xuan smiled, changed the subject, and asked suddenly: "My dear brother, what do you think of what General Zhang and Fazheng said in the conference hall today?"

Gong Zhi said: "I am a petty official, if I have any opinions, I just have to obey."

Jin Xuandao: "Who said you are a petty official? I think you have the potential to be a high official, but it's a pity that your official career has not been smooth. Now Zhang Yan has gained half of the country. Fazheng Xiaoer cheated General Zhang's trust. Bringing General Zhang to Shu, and then killing him, I absolutely cannot just sit idly by."

Gong Zhi said in surprise: "My lord, Fazheng is not such a vicious person, is he?"

"What do you know? Do you know what Fazheng is thinking? If you knew, you would have been a high-ranking official a long time ago, and you can still be a small official here? To be honest, I have no doubts about Zhang. The general is also very admired, and General Zhang treats us well. But those who know the current affairs are heroes, and now the world is already ruled by King Yan, and His Highness King Yan will sooner or later unify the whole country. Sooner or later, we will die. We might as well follow the current situation and take refuge under the command of His Royal Highness King Yan. With our ability, it is not a problem at all to find an official position. Moreover, His Royal Highness Yan has issued an official document this time. As long as we can offer Zhang Fei Not only will he be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, but he will also be rewarded with an official title. You said, what is the purpose of our life, isn’t it just to try to get ahead? But I have walked half my life, have I gotten ahead? No, I still want to Wandering with Zhang Fei. It’s okay for me to be alone, but what about my family? Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your family, right?”

Jin Xuan talked eloquently, while Gong Zhi sat there and listened quietly. Only then did Gong Zhi know that Jin Xuan called him here because he wanted to conspire to kill Zhang Fei.

"My dear brother, I remember you have a son, right? I heard that your son has never married, is that right?" Jin Xuan asked suddenly.

Gong Zhi nodded and said, "That's true. Quanzi has not been an official, and my family is not very rich, so I have never been able to find a good girl willing to marry into my family."

Jin Xuan said: "My dear brother, you don't have to worry about this. I have a daughter under my knees who is just in her twenties, and you and I have been friends for many years. How about we form a family with sons and daughters?"

Gong Zhi was surprised and said: "I heard that the daughter of a lord has the beauty of a country and a city, but the dog has an ordinary appearance and not much ability. I'm afraid Ling Ai won't agree?"

"Marriage matters are always decided by parents. Whoever I let her marry, she will marry. How can she choose?" Jin Xuan said, "My dear brother, if you want, we can marry you." How about this marriage being settled?"

"If the adults have no objections, the subordinate officials have no objections."

"Okay, okay, good brother, it's good if you agree. However, the top priority should be to find a way to get rid of Zhang Fei. Only by holding Zhang Fei's head and pleading guilty in front of His Royal Highness King Yan will our two families not be implicated. Brother, what do you think?"

Gong Zhidao: "I have intended this for a long time, but Zhang Fei is so skilled in martial arts, I have no way to strike, and he has a warrior like Peng Tuo guarding him, so there is no chance at all!"

"It turns out that my virtuous brother also has this intention, so we really coincided. But don't worry, my virtuous brother, I have a plan, and I can kill Zhang Fei without any effort." Jin Xuan said.

Gong Zhi let out an "oh" and hurriedly asked, "I would like to hear more about it!"
