After Wei Yan finished speaking, Wen Ping was stunned.

He was a miscellaneous general when he captured Jiangxia, and he only had 5,000 people under his command, this Wei Yan was really brave, and he wanted to take charge of the army independently.

"Hehe, so brave, but if you surrender and lead 5,000 men and horses, then the generals under my command will definitely not accept it."

Zhang Xiuwen smiled, and then said: "In this way, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you can pacify Wuling within three months, then I will let you unify the army alone, how about it?" ”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he said this just to show his ambition, but Zhang Xiu really intended to promote himself, and the pacification of Wuling in March can be said to be a waste of military merits.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan was excited, and shouted: "Why do you need 3,000 men and horses to attack Wuling, the lord allocates 1,000 people, and within the remaining month, Dingping Wuling." ”

"Hehe, okay." Zhang Xiu smiled heartily, "Except for the generals under Zhongye's command, the rest of the people, you can choose, if you can really pacify Wuling, I will personally issue you a general seal." ”

"I will live up to the trust of my lord."

Wei Yan clenched his teeth and looked solemn.

Such a lord is a hundred times stronger than Zhang Xian, what reason does he have not to be loyal?

"Okay, now that Changsha has been decided, I intend to unify the four counties of Jingnan as soon as possible, and then fight hard and wait for the world to change." Zhang Xiu said heartily.

"Wen Ping, you will lead 5,000 armor soldiers to capture Lingling County, and I will personally lead 5,000 armor soldiers to capture Guiyang, and when Jingnan is pacified, I will immediately take the class."

"No!" The congregation shall drink.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, when Xu Shu arrives, the three armies will set off to the south." Zhang Xiulang said loudly, and after speaking, he arranged for someone to pass on the edict to the three counties, and he was afraid of his heart first.

…………

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

Guiyang County, Chenxian County.

At this time, in the general mansion, Zhao Rin held the letter, his expression was a little gloomy, and his face was full of displeasure.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Fan said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Xian was defeated and has been beheaded. Now that Zhang Xiu has beheaded Liu Biao, killed Zhang Xian, and summoned me to appease the counties of Jingnan, I think I am preparing to salute first and then soldier. ”

Zhao Rin's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Xian is defeated?" Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Big brother, do you mean that Zhang Xiu has already sent troops?" Preparing to attack our Guiyang? ”

"It's already on the way, and Zhang Xiu personally leads the army." Zhao Rin's voice was a little worried, and he frowned.

If Zhang Xiu arrives, then the days of his soil emperor will come to an end, and when the time comes, Zhang Xiu will give him a vacant position and send him away, how happy will he be.

"Big brother, what are you going to do? Receiving the edict and surrendering? A glimmer of essence flashed in the corner of Zhao Fan's eyes, and he asked.

"Alas! I don't want to be a brother, but Zhang Xiu is powerful, if I don't accept the surrender, he will lead the three armies to cut it down, so I am afraid that I will worry about my life. Zhao Rin shook his head and sighed, his voice full of powerlessness.

How could he want to be surrendered?

"Big brother, after I vote for Zhang Xiu, I will have no glory and wealth to enjoy, according to my brother's intentions, it is better to kill this person with a trick, what do you think?" Zhao Fan's face flashed with a cruel expression.

"Kill Zhang Xiu?" Zhao Rin was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Second brother, this person has a fierce general like a cloud, with more than tens of thousands of fine armor, and my Changsha armor is only 10,000 people, even if we kill him, how can we fight against him?" ”

"Big brother is too worried, Zhang Xiu has only been in Jingzhou for a year, and his subordinates are not gathering for profit, if they learn that Zhang Xiu died in Guiyang, the first thing they think about is not to attack, but to stand on their own."

"Now that Zhang Xian is dead, the four counties of Jingnan are panicking, at this time, as long as we kill Zhang Xiu, the four counties of Jingnan will definitely echo each other from afar, and the eldest brother will look forward."

"When the time comes, the eldest brother can swallow the soldiers of the four counties and take advantage of the chaos to attack Xiangyang. If it succeeds, the eldest brother will be the lord of Jingzhou, one of the princes of the world, competing in this troubled era. ”

"Taking a step back, even if you fail to capture Xiangyang, the eldest brother can retreat to Changsha, sit on Jingnan, and be a soil emperor, isn't it beautiful?" Zhao Fan smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"This, is this really possible?" Zhao Rin teased his eyes, his expression was a little worried, and he said weakly.

"Big brother, don't worry, as long as we use it properly, Zhang Xiu will definitely die." Zhao Fan's five fingers were clenched angrily, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his face showed a hideous smile.

"How?" Zhao Rin swallowed his saliva, he obviously didn't want to let go of power, so he couldn't help but ask nervously and whispered.

"Big brother, I heard that you recently intercepted a woman who took refuge here in Jizhou, it is said that this woman is beautiful and intoxicating, can you?" Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhao Rinhu glanced at Zhao Fan suspiciously, and then said: "There is such a thing, this woman is from the Fan family in Jizhou, and her family is in the middle of the road, so she takes refuge here, and I am ready to marry her in the future." ”

"Big brother, it's better to set this wedding date first, when Zhang Xiu leads the army, we can pretend to surrender and welcome Zhang Xiu into the city, and then the eldest brother will hold a wedding banquet and sincerely invite Zhang Xiu to the banquet."

"If you want to come to the eldest brother's new arrival, Zhang Xiu will not lose face, and will definitely attend the eldest brother's wedding banquet, and ...... when the time comes"

"When the time comes, hide the knife and axe hand in the dark, wait for Zhang Xiu to be unprepared, smash the cup as a number, and cut it down with a knife?" Zhao Rin didn't wait for Zhao Fan to finish speaking, and said urgently.

"Huh!" Zhao Fan rolled his eyes, very helpless, and immediately said: "No, Zhang Xiuqi is strong in martial arts, and there are more guards around him, so it will be difficult to hack to death." ”

"So what?" Zhao Rin raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Fan pondered for a moment, and then said: "The eldest brother can drink and have fun with him, get drunk as much as possible, and at the same time send someone to pour down his personal guards, and no matter how bad they are, they will be separated." ”

After three rounds of drinking, the eldest brother can deliberately pretend to be drunk, pull him to the backyard wing, and spit nonsense that he will take him to see his wife. When Zhang Xiu wanted to be drunk, he would walk away with each other. ”

"At that time, the eldest brother can lead him to see the Fan family, and if he wants to come to the Fan family's beauty, coupled with Zhang Xiu's drunkenness, it will be difficult to hold himself. In this way, the knife and axe hand can be buried in the back of the chamber. ”

"When Zhang Xiu and Fan's clouds and rain are asleep, the eldest brother can drop the cup, and then the knife and axe hand will rush in and hack him to death." The corners of Zhao Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly.

"But this ...... Isn't that embroidery cheaper? And in this way, wouldn't my delicate wife also ......" Zhao Rin's eyebrows showed that he couldn't bear it, this beauty had never touched it herself.

But he had to let Zhang Xiu try it, and he had to pretend to be drunk, and witnessed his wife and Zhang Xiu turning clouds and rain, how could he bear it!

"Big brother, this country is here, and the beauty of Jingxiang is not left to the eldest brother to choose? But if the country is lost, the beauty is just something in the arms of others. Zhao Fan said in a deep voice.

"But, but...... Alas, that's it, just according to what the second brother said. Zhao Rin twisted his head and said, his heart was full of reluctance, but if he could really kill Zhang Xiu, it would be worth it.

Then, the two conspired for a long time.
