Chapter 593 Depends on the call to action (third update)

The moment when Xue Wanshu talked about his conditions.

At this time, someone behind the tent laughed loudly and said: "I haven't killed you yet, but you are going to make up my mind."

Meng Haigong and Ma Saifei's expressions changed, but when they saw Fan Yuan strode out from the back hall, they didn't expect him to leave yet.Just now they were afraid that Fan Yuan would conflict with Zhao Guo's envoy, so they wanted him to back away, but this person came out by himself.

This time it was really embarrassing. Meng Haigong can only choose one way to sacrifice Fan Yuanhe now or surrender Li Chongjiu.

"General Fan! Don't be hasty in this matter." Meng Haigong tried to make up for it one last time.

Fan Yuan glanced at Meng Haigong, strode out from the back hall and said with a sneer, "I persuaded the lord to kill you just now, but the lord was soft-hearted and didn't do anything. Now that you are not benevolent, I am also injustice."
Speaking of this, Fan Yuan drew out his sword, which was to kill people in front of the court to establish his prestige. After beheading the envoy of Zhao Guo, Meng Haigong could not afford to fight against Zhao, so he wanted to raise troops.

Xue Wanshu looked at Fan Yuan holding a sharp knife, and said without fear: "It is true that General Fan is the best here, His Majesty has already pardoned Liu Heitai's old troops, if you go to Luoyang with me, His Majesty will definitely grant you a title, and pardon you An old crime. At the same time, His Majesty also rewards Duke Meng generously. This kills two birds with one stone."

Fan Yuan sneered and said, "It's useless for you to talk badly at this moment."

"If I die here, the King of Zhao will raise his troops to avenge me. Whether it's war or peace, what do you think, Mr. Meng?" Xue Wanshu said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Jiang Shanhe, the general manager of Yunzhou, suddenly kicked the chair, drew his knife and came to Xue Wanshu's body to guard him and said loudly: "Menggong, the minister bullies the lord, do you still want to endure this fan?"

Meng Haigong trembled, but before he could speak, Ma Saifei pulled out a throwing knife from his boot and threw it at Fan Yuan's back heart.

This knife shot was fast and fast, Fan Yuan was not bad at martial arts, but he could listen to all directions and see all directions, but he forgot that Ma Saifei had the unique skill of throwing knives.

At that moment, Fan Yuan raised his head with a knife in his heart and roared wildly.

"Fan Yuan, my husband has tolerated you for a long time!" Ma Saifei said sharply.

All the generals got up and looked at this scene in surprise.But after seeing Fan Yuan, he felt a knife in his heart, turned around and pointed at Ma Saifei and said, "Hello...ruthless!"

Halfway through speaking, Fan Yuan leaned over and fell down slowly.

Meng Haigong stood up, strode into the hall without even looking at Fan Yuan's corpse on the ground, and said directly to Xue Wan: "Master Xue, you are startled."

Xue Wanshu calmly smiled and said, "Your Majesty will definitely remember that Mr. Meng can get rid of this traitor."

Meng Haigong laughed and said, "It's easy to talk about, easy to talk about."

At that moment, Meng Haigong looked at Jiang Shanhe and said, "Boss Jiang, you have done a good job in this matter. You cut off the head of this traitor, and you also took care of this person's personal soldiers outside the account."

Jiang Shanhe nodded, and cut off Fan Yuan's head in court.Xue Wanshu saw that Meng Haigong saw things very quickly, and once he made a decision, he acted fiercely and quickly, as expected of a prince who has experienced many storms.

Meng Haigong immediately said to Xue Wan: "I am ashamed to say that I was forced by this traitor to hesitate a lot before, but now I have repented and immediately took my wife to Luoyang to attend the enthronement ceremony of Your Majesty."

Xue Wanshu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's good that Mr. Meng has a heart, and His Majesty will sweep the couch to welcome you!"

Meng Haigong and Ma Saifei also laughed together, Jiang Shanhe couldn't help smiling when he heard the laughter outside the tent, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Give me all the care of Fan Yuan."

On the Yongji Canal.

Li Chongjiu was heading south by boat, and was about to reach Liyang and turn into the Yellow River.

After reading the memorial, Li Chongjiu happily said to Cao Wen next to him, "You have heard that the company did a good job. First, you discovered that Fan Yuan was lurking under Meng Haigong's command, and then instigated Jiang Shanhe, the general of Meng Haigong. My surrender not only saves a military disaster, but also adds a county to our army and tens of thousands of troops, which is really indispensable."

Cao Wen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty dare not take this as a compliment. We would not have been able to make this happen without the courage and determination of Xue Shilang to go deep into the tiger's den."

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard Cao Wen say this: "Yes, Xue Aiqing took a risk in this matter. I hope that when Xu Yuanlang is wiped out in the next step, there will be no such twists and turns. At any time, soldiers who surrender without fighting are always the one above."

Cao Wen immediately lowered his head and said, "I have been educated in a lowly position. But Xu Yuanlang may not be easy to make a decision. This time he only sent his son to Luoyang, and he himself reported his illness in Yanzhou. At the same time, according to the news from Yanzhou, Xu Yuanlang Lang not only continued to build the city wall in Yanzhou, but also recruited [-] new troops during the busy season of farming, it seems that he was preparing for war, and he really didn't know how to live or die."

Li Chongjiu said: "This person should not be ignored, his soldiers are stronger than Meng Haigong, so he has the capital to do so. Let me take another look."

"What about Du Fuwei? Your Majesty, this time he proposed to rule Shandong and Jianghuai separately with our army. This is obviously to form a north-south division with me."

Li Chongjiu heard what Cao Wen said, and thought deeply: "After Wang Shichong, even if Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army is the most capable of fighting, Du Fuwei wants to kill Li Zitong before going north. Right now, I really can't spare him a moment to deal with him. Bear with it for a while, he will ask Du Fuwei to drink my foot-washing water one day."

Cao Wen smiled and said, "That's good."

Li Chongjiu said: "The most important thing at the moment is to build the navy. This time I was able to capture Luoyang by chance, thanks to the power of the navy. In the future, the navy will be used to attack Goguryeo, go to the south of the Yangtze River, and fix the Yellow River. You have heard that Siduo Find experienced shipwrights with all your heart, let them come to Dazhao, and we will give them generous salaries."

"In addition, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Although our army has a fleet, our navy is not well trained. After all, the northerners are not good at water warfare. Li Tang is different. A few days ago, it was rumored that Li Tang's Sichuan and Sichuan navy I have seen the assessment of strength. Li Yuan's Sichuan and Shu Army, including Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Li Yuan, Pang Yu, and Xu Shao are all famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, especially Li Jing, who must not be underestimated."

"Li Jing? I thought His Majesty was worried about Li Xiaogong?" Cao Wen asked.

Li Chongjiu said: "Li Xiaogong is also a famous general, but he enjoys his name even more. Li Jing is the real and pragmatic general. Not only Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are in Li Tangchuan's Shu navy, but Zhou Faming, who is the best at water warfare in Liang Kingdom, rebelled against Tang. Xiao Mian has no generals under his command. I am worried that if Li Tang really dispatches the navy to go down the Yangtze River to attack Jiangling, Xiao Mian will suffer a big loss. So you should forward this report and order to Xiao Mian as soon as possible, and the Department of Rumors must also Keep a close eye on the movement of the Tang army in Sichuan, Shu, and if there is any disturbance, immediately report to Liang Guo."

Cao Wen heard Li Chongjiu say this and asked: "Your Majesty values ​​Liang Guo so much, is there any other intention?"

Li Chongjiu said: "That's right, as long as Xiao Mian is in Jiangling for a day and can hold the important town of Xiangyang, the Tang army will not dare to attack Luoyang for a day, so when Xiangyang is there, Luoyang will be stable, and if Xiangyang is not there, Luoyang will be shaken."
