The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 590 589 The Burning Yangtze River (29)

Gong Zhi stayed in Jin Xuan's room for a long time. Jin Xuan told Gong Zhi all his plans. After hearing this, Gong Zhi gave Jin Xuan a thumbs up and said with a smirk: " High! It's really high! My lord's ingenious plan is really brilliant, so it's a piece of cake to take Zhang Fei's head off."

Jin Xuandao: "Although the strategy is clever, it also needs reliable people to implement it. Brother, I am very pleased that you can understand the current affairs like this. It's just that this matter is of great importance, so don't let the wind leak , otherwise, the two of us brothers will go to Huangquan together."

Gong Zhi said: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut about the loss of my head."

Jin Xuan kept Gong Zhi to have a drink with him until late at night, and then he let Gong Zhi go.

After Gong Zhi came out of Jin Xuan's room, he immediately went to look for Zhang Fei in the dark.At this moment, Zhang Fei was heartbroken because of Guan Yu's death. After drinking some wine, he fell drunk on the bed and fell asleep.

Gong Zhi failed to seek an audience outside, and was so anxious that he suddenly had a whim, so he had no choice but to go to Fazheng.

Fazheng was reading at night with the light on in his room, and when he heard Gong Zhi coming to see him, he immediately had someone invite Gong Zhi into his room, and he even greeted him personally, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Gong's late-night visit really flattered Xiaozhi Ah, please come inside!"

As soon as Gong Zhi entered the room, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Fa, to be honest, the reason why I came to see you in such a hurry is because I have something important to tell..."

Fazheng saw the nervousness on Gong Zhi's face, and his eyes kept wandering around, as if he was on guard for something.Fazheng is also a smart person, so he understood immediately, and said to the people outside the door: "Master Gong is here, you go and bring me some food and wine!"

After Fazheng dismissed those people, he cupped his hands and said to Gong Zhi: "Master Gong, there are only you and me left here, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Gong Zhi clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Fa is really smart, no wonder General Zhang trusts him so much..."

Therefore, Gong Zhi took the opportunity to tell Fazheng about Jin Xuan's plot to rebel and kill Zhang Fei, and then revealed Jin Xuan's plan.

After Fazheng heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.After a while, Fazheng said: "I didn't expect Jin Taishou to have such courage. I really underestimated him."

Gong Zhi was taken aback when he heard what Fazheng said, and asked, "Mr. Fa, General Zhang is still drunk, and I haven't told him about this matter. After much deliberation, I still feel that I should tell Mr. It's the most suitable. Why didn't Mr. Fa respond at all when he heard it? Isn't Mr. Fa afraid that Prefect Jin's tricks will succeed?"

Fazheng laughed and said: "Before my lord came here, I didn't know anything about this matter. Maybe I would be afraid when the day the head falls. However, since my lord has told me the plan of Prefect Jin Now, what else do I have to be afraid of?"

Gong Zhi felt that what Fazheng said was very reasonable, so he asked: "Mr. Fa, you are the person General Zhang trusts the most. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhang to tell General Zhang about this matter tomorrow, and arrest Jin Taishou directly?" Only by rectifying this traitor on the spot can the final disaster be eliminated."

Fazheng shook his head and said: "My lord came to tell me this matter. General Zhang is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. When General Zhang attacked Wuling, Prefect Jin and your lord surrendered together. General Zhang just surrendered." The appointment of Mr. Jin as the prefect of Wuling. This shows how much General Zhang trusts Mr. Jin. It is difficult for General Zhang to believe that the prefect Jin will rebel just because of the nonsense you and I have said here. Moreover, the prefect Jin is smart. , if confronted face-to-face, we will definitely deny it, and in this way, you and I will become the sinners who framed the prefect of Jin."

Hearing Fazheng's analysis, Gong Zhi felt that what Fazheng said was very reasonable, and cold sweat broke out on his back.Fortunately, Zhang Fei was drunk. If he ran to Zhang Fei in such a reckless manner and told Zhang Fei that Jin Xuan was going to rebel, he would probably be bitten by Jin Xuan. At that time, even if he had a mouth, he would not be able to say Clear.

Thinking about it now, Gong Zhi still has lingering fears in his heart, and he is also secretly grateful.He looked at Fazheng nervously, and asked: "Mr. Fa, according to your opinion, is it possible that we just leave Jin Xuan alone and let him harm General Zhang?"

Fazheng said: "Of course not. Master Gong, you can come and tell me this matter, which shows that you are loyal to General Zhang, and it is also doomed that Jin Xuan's life will come to an end. However, General Zhang must truly believe that If Jin Xuan is rebelling, General Zhang must see that Jin Xuan is really rebelling. Therefore, we must lure the snake out of the hole and follow the plan."

Gong Zhi asked excitedly: "What kind of scheming?"

Fazheng pressed close to Gong Zhi's ear, and whispered something to Gong Zhi. After hearing this, Gong Zhi burst out laughing, and immediately said, "If this is the case, Jin Xuan, the traitor, will definitely die!"

Afterwards, Gong Zhi followed what Fazheng said, as if nothing had happened, and kept in close contact with Jinxuan, while Fazheng secretly found Liu Xian and Xiang Lang, and took Jinxuan away. Xuan told them about his plan to rebel.

At this moment, in the dead of night, in Liu Xian's room, Fazheng and Xiang Lang were sitting there. After listening to what Fazheng said, Liu Xian and Xiang Lang frowned, and they were very worried. Unexpectedly, Jin Xuan would be such a person.

Fazheng said: "As the saying goes, a slap can't make a sound, Jin Xuan is just a Confucian scholar, but at this time he has a bad idea, if no one secretly communicates with him, even if Jin Xuan is given ten courage, Jin Xuan will not dare Do something like this."

Liu Xian and Xiang Lang looked at each other, and felt that what Fazheng said was very reasonable. Although they were from Lingling, they bordered Wuling County after all, and knew a little about some people and things in Wuling County.As Fazheng said, Jinxuan is a Confucian scholar with no force or special background. He is just a celebrity in the country. During the past few years when he was sent by Liu Biao to work in Wuling County, he has always been conscientious. , is also a good official who loves the people like a son, and is deeply loved by the people. This is the most important reason why Zhang Fei appointed Jin Xuan as the prefect of Wuling.

However, Jin Xuan was about to rebel, and planned to kill Zhang Fei, and use Zhang Fei's head in exchange for fame and rewards. This matter is a bit too crazy.

According to the previous understanding of Jin Xuan, even if Jin Xuan didn't want to enter Sichuan, at most he would abandon his official position and abscond, and he would definitely not do such a bold thing.

Unless, Jin Xuan is not doing this alone, but has another accomplice!
But who is this accomplice?
"Xiaozhi, do you mean that beside General Zhang, there is another person who is conspiring with Jin Xuan?" Xiang Lang asked.

Fazheng nodded and said, "Mister's guess is correct. This is exactly what I'm worried about. Jin Xuan wanted to win Gong Zhi over to do things for him, but Gong Zhi came to inform because he was afraid. If I didn't read If it's the wrong person, with Jin Xuan's courage, he will definitely not do such a thing. There must be someone behind him to support him in doing this. This person standing behind Jin Xuan is the person we are looking for. He is also the one we want to get rid of!"

"However, we are the only ones by General Zhang's side, and we are all people who have followed General Zhang through life and death. How could we betray General Zhang for such a petty profit?" Liu Xian asked.

Fazheng said: "I think the same way. Besides the three of us, there are Jin Xuan, Gong Zhi, and Peng Tuo. Now we can confirm the signs of Jin Xuan's treason. Gong Zhi is the informer, and Peng Tuo is desperate to die." Those who guard General Zhang will definitely not do such a cruel thing to General Zhang. Therefore, this is what I am most worried about, because we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. If we don't want to find a way to catch the black hand behind the scenes , even if Jin Xuan is killed, it is just a scapegoat for the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Mr. Fa, what should we do then?" Liu Xian asked.

Fazheng said: "I've already come up with a plan that will lead the snake out of the hole, but you still need your cooperation. Otherwise, the black hand behind the scenes will probably disappear forever."

After Liu Xian and Xiang Lang looked at each other, they said in unison: "What should we do, please just tell me!"

Fazheng nodded, and told Liu Xian and Xiang Lang about his plan. After hearing this, they kept it firmly in their hearts.

After that, Fazheng and Xiang Lang left Liu Xian's room one after another and returned to their own room.

On the second day, Fazheng, Xiang Lang, Liu Xian, and Gong Zhi all acted according to the plan, as if nothing had happened, and then they were busy with their own affairs.

Fazheng has a clear division of labor, and several of them are actively cooperating. The most important thing is Gong Zhi. As soon as he gets any news from Jinxuan, he immediately passes it on to Fazheng and the others in secret, so that they can keep up with the plan. , so that the whole plan will not go to waste.

At Chen Shi, Zhang Fei, who was drunk last night, woke up, but he didn't know what happened under his nose. A secret battle was also going on quietly under Zhang Fei's nose.

In the whole plan, Peng Tuo was actually a member of the plan, but because Peng Tuo was from Shanyue and was once a subordinate of Sun Quan, and he was still a rough man, so he had no choice but to abandon Peng Tuo. , only rely on them to carry out the secret battle, and let Peng Tuo play in his true colors.

At noon, Jin Xuan went to visit Peng Tuo according to his plan, and invited Peng Tuo to his house for a drink, and called Gong Zhi over together, and the two took turns to persuade Peng Tuo to drink, and then Provoking Peng Tuo with words, saying things out of thin air, Zheng looked down on Peng Tuo very much, and often said bad things about Peng Tuo in front of Zhang Fei, making Zhang Fei either drive Peng Tuo away or kill Peng Tuo.However, none of these suggestions were heeded by Zhang Fei.

In addition, Jin Xuan relied on his sharp tongue to slander Fazheng, and said that Fazheng's proposal to enter Sichuan this time was actually a big conspiracy, but Zhang Fei just listened to Fazheng's slander. , must enter Sichuan.

Peng Tuo drank a lot of wine, and his mouth was already out of control. After hearing Jin Xuan's words, he suddenly became furious, furious, and shouted loudly: "This damned Fazheng, I must kill him, otherwise I will kill him." If not, the general will really fall into his trap."

"Lieutenant Peng, please don't do stupid things. If Fazheng is killed, General Zhang will definitely not spare the captain lightly. Maybe he will kill the captain to pay homage to Fazheng." !” Jin Xuan said pretending to be a good person.

After hearing this, Peng Tuo rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms, then clenched his fists tightly, and said to Jin Xuan: "I, Peng Tuo, have never been afraid of anyone since I was born. Zhang The general is the first person who can defeat me, he is the hero I respect, and I will never allow anyone to hurt General Zhang."

As soon as the words fell, Peng Tuo stood up, pushed the table, and said: "You stay here for a while, and I will go back as soon as I go. I will never come back unless the head of Fazheng is brought back!"

Jin Xuan looked at Peng Tuo who stumbled out of the room, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gong Zhi was very worried, and hurriedly said to Jin Xuan: "Peng Tuo is a reckless man, if Fazheng is not killed, wouldn't it be a surprise? Why don't you let me go with him, and if necessary, I can add fuel to the flames!" "

Jin Xuan nodded and said, "Well, you're right, let's go!"
