The fire in the state governor's mansion was like a signal, and it immediately triggered the vitality of the entire Mianzhu City.

As Wu Ban invaded the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, captured Liu's father and son, and then found Liu Mao in a daze, the Dongzhou Sergeant Battalion, which had originally maintained a somewhat chaotic and neutral posture because the officers were held hostage, immediately stood firm...... After some of the officers were released, they immediately exposed their left arms and joined the so-called 'anyway' sequence, and the so-called 'Mao Gongzi faction' with a heart to Yan Gong immediately had an armed force of about 2,000 people.

The same is true in the city, seeing that the state minister's mansion is on fire, the civil officials of Mianzhu who were still hesitant and the subordinates of the curtain did not dare to hesitate any longer, and when the armor soldiers on horseback galloped over, shouting and transmitting the 'order of Liu Mao' who acted on behalf of Yizhou, these people took the initiative.

In this way, by midnight, Xu Shu had already completed a series of achievements such as capturing Liu Yan, supporting Liu Mao, controlling the Dongzhou Shi barracks, taking over the city wall, and controlling Mianzhu Wenwu.

Things went smoothly as if in a dream.

"It's not a fluke!" Zhang Song stood on the steps in front of the county guard's mansion, his head held high, his face looked red under the reflection of the torches, but he was taking advantage of the fact that Xu Shu and the others had not yet come from the state pastoral mansion, and they were talking nonsense with the Shudi civil and military forces who had gathered in a hurry in front of him. "You must know that Xu Hou's move is really a move to assassinate the country! And the stabbing country is like stabbing people...... Have you ever stabbed someone?! ”

Under the steps, among the fire and shadows stood countless Shu Chinese officials, some with smiles, some silent, some bent over, and some stood solemnly, but in the eyes of Zhang Ziqiao, who had just changed his name to Xu Shu, all these people were actually looking at him with a mixture of envy, jealousy, resentment and injustice!

Come and see him, a short-looking, ugly man!

Look at him, who was born in a famous family, and his talent is ten times better than that of his brother, but in the past, he could only be a low-level official here!

Because it is such a person who seized the last opportunity to turn the world upside down in Shuzhong and achieved such a great achievement!

"The so-called stinging people are nothing more than three points!" Zhang Song met these gazes, but he felt that his chest was becoming more and more intense. "One is to get to the point...... Xu Hou went to Shudi, but in just a few days, he concluded that the key was Liu Yan and not Liu Fan, this is the vision! Unlike some people such as you, who were born and grew up in Shu, there are still people who think that the power has reached Liu Fan's hands, which is simply stupid! ”

"The second is not to do superfluous things...... Xu Hou found me to do literary affairs, and Wu Ziyuan to do martial arts, knowing that the two of us were rare and useful people in Shu, so he ignored superfluous matters, which is also a vision, and it is even more cautious! ”

"The third is just a stabbing effort...... This matter is simple to say, but it takes great courage and courage, let me ask you, how similar is Xu Hou's behavior today to Ban Dingyuan's Western Regions?! Waiting or doing nothing, or opportunistic, how is it different from Guo Sui on Ban Dingyuan's side? ”

Zhang Ziqiao is afraid that he is indeed suffocated on weekdays, and at this time, he squirted hard, but he spewed out all the grievances for I don't know how many years, and I only felt that his life was not as beautiful as today.

Thinking that after the overall situation of Shu is decided, he has made a contribution here, and he has to cross the difference between the officials who are like the moats that day, and he is even more vague under his feet, dizzy on his head, and then his tongue is full of lotus flowers, and his mouth is fragrant.

It can only be said that fortunately, Xu Shu only let him do this thing of guarding and monitoring Shu Chinese martial arts at the beginning, and did not assign him superfluous military tasks.

And when it was dawn, the city gradually calmed down, Dongzhou Shi almost collectively defected, Mianzhu City all started, and Liu Mao, who came back to his senses, was also under the earnest persuasion of Wu Yi, and after Xu Shu ensured the safety of the captured Liu Yan and Liu Dan's father and son, he officially came forward to clean up the situation...... He called himself a Zhonglang general, acting for Yizhou in the name of his father's illness and weakness, and publicly played the banner of welcoming the Yan army into Shu.

The political program that represents the will of a considerable number of people is there, Liu Yan has not had an accident, and there is also a legal principle of father and son, plus Liu Mao has always been half an heir as the son who first came to his father before Liu Fan entered Shu, and he also has his own team and appeal, and more importantly, the powerful Yan army has arrived at the Sword Pavilion, and the local 'forbidden army', that is, the Mianzhu Garrison Guard Army composed of Dongzhou Shi collectively defected, so Mianzhu City naturally restored order in an instant.

In fact, what Cheng's Chinese Wu is discussing now is already Liu Fan's problem.

Liu Fan is only twenty miles away from Mianzhu City, if he saw the movement last night and came at a light gallop, he might have already arrived, that is, according to the usual prudent practice, he sent a sentry to investigate at night, and then went back to report, and then it was time to take action...... However, there was no action for a long time.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the city, and some people suggested taking the initiative to attack Liu Fan in the north of the city; Some people suggested that Liu Yan should be persuaded to surrender in the name of Liu Yan, so as not to quarrel with each other; There are also people who pretend to be profound, saying that since Liu Fan does not come at this time, he must have the intention of fleeing to Chengdu, Qianwei or Fushui Pass, and at this time he should send troops to the important place behind him, Luoxian, to block Liu Fan's attempt to flee to the south, and second, to expand Liu Mao's influence.

Everyone talked about it, and they couldn't even make up their minds about Zhang Song, who was presiding over the meeting, and they didn't close their eyes all night, and then came to the barracks with their opinions to ask Xu Shu for advice, which also meant to let the other party have an idea.

In this regard, Xu Yuanzhi, who also didn't close his eyes all night, had already taken a shower and went to the couch, but when he heard the words, he turned over on the couch and opened his arms: "Ziqiao, don't think too much, our strength is insufficient, the army is unstable, it is already a fluke to be able to take Mianzhu City. ”

"And what about the future?" Zhang Song seemed to want to make more contributions, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"...... in the future," Xu Yuanzhi couldn't help but chuckle. Ziqiao, what is our ultimate goal of doing this? ”

Zhang Song was a smart man in the end, and he was awake almost instantly: "Whether it is to assassinate people or the country, in the end, it is to save millions of soldiers in Shu from military disasters and promote the army of Duke Yan to enter Shu earlier." ”

"Then dare to ask Ziqiao, now that Mianzhu is in hand, what is there to do if you want to promote the army to enter Shu?" Xu Yuanzhi continued to ask easily.

Zhang Song also instantly felt funny: "There are only Fushui and Sword Pavilion...... It's also confused below, just as Xu Hou said before, if it's not necessary, don't do superfluous things, Mianzhu is stable here, in fact, it can become the overall situation! ”

Xu Shu also laughed.

In other words, the meaning of Xu Shu and Zhang Song is very simple.

It must be known that although the city of Mianzhu is also a famous city, it has always been developed because it is the northward entrance of the Chengdu Plain. In fact, since ancient times, the core city of Shu has been in Chengdu, and the second is in Guanghan County, which is the traditional center of Shu land.

However, because Liu Yan's entry into Shu coincided with the turmoil in Shu, and because he needed to rely on the group of Dongzhou Shi, he moved the ruling center to Mianzhu City.

In fact, the north of Mianzhu City is Fushui, the north bank of Fushui is Fushui Pass or Fushui County, and Fushui Pass is Jiange, Jiameng, and Baishui Pass to the north.

In other words, Mianzhu is the end of the passage into Shu, judging from the current military situation of Yan Yan in Fushui and Zhang Ren in the Sword Pavilion, as long as Xu Yuanzhi stabilizes Mianzhu, even if he sits still, then no matter what kind of thoughts Yan Yan and Zhang Ren have, they will not be able to last...... It is impossible for military rations and military morale to hold up.

Unless Yan Yan made a decision and immediately led the army back to attack Mianzhu, with his prestige in the Shu army, it was still very likely to succeed.

It's just that the problem is that Yan Yan is a soldier after all, if he has no political basis, what reason does he have to attack Mianzhu City, which has Liu Yan's father and son?

"So......" Xu Shu said a little more seriously. Ziqiao said where Liu Fan went, in fact, I also thought about it. In my opinion, the worst situation is that Liu Fan made a decision and fled directly to Fushui to find Yan Yan, and then used his political appeal to persuade Yan Yan to come here immediately! ”

"If that's the case," Zhang Song thought. "We should rectify people's hearts and strengthen the city defense, as long as we hold Mianzhu, judging from the situation that many generals and their families are in the city, at that time, their army will collapse, and the army of Yan Gong in the north will naturally be able to enter."

"Not bad." Xu Shu was honest. "And this is the worst-case scenario, I have asked Wu Ziyuan (Wu Yi) to write to Yan Yan to explain the situation and persuade him to surrender. He also asked him to find the families of the front-line sergeants...... Ziqiao, you have worked hard these days, on the one hand, you have to rectify the order in the city, and on the other hand, you have to open the treasury to appease the families of the soldiers and generals of Shu on the front line, and you must be fair and gracious regardless of whether you are a Dongzhou scholar or a native of Shu. ”

"I see." Zhang Song admired the other party more and more.

"As for the second worst situation, it is that Liu Fan went to Chengdu." Xu Yuan said bluntly at this point, and couldn't help but relax and sneer. "But this move depends on his ability, if he can bring out an army from Chengdu in time to surround Mianzhu in turn, he can still be saved, but I am afraid it will be too late."

Zhang Song also sneered: "His people have no such prestige. ”

"There's another possibility." Xu Shu continued to speak on the couch, but raised his eyebrows slightly. "That's why he went directly to find Zhao Wei......"

"Zhao Wei does have a large army in his hands." Zhang Song's heart moved slightly. "And it's not as difficult as the front-line Yan Yan ......"

"But if Liu Fan goes, we will be completely worry-free!" Xu Yuanzhi said so, and then lay down straight, but it meant to make up for sleep.

Zhang Song woke up in his heart, and he was also suddenly for a while, so he completely stopped paying attention to Liu Fan's whereabouts, so he didn't bother the other party, turned around and went out directly, but bumped into Wu Yi head-on.

The two said goodbye, but they didn't have the grinning attitude of Dongzhou Shi and Yizhou dog, but they were extremely affectionate...... To put it bluntly, the place was small before, and the two groups of people fought for a bowl of noodles, but now that the avenue is in front and the world is open to each other, the two of them will be able to go out of Shu in the future, and they will have a common resume, but they will be friends.

Of course, Zhang Song didn't let Wu Yi disturb Xu Yuanzhi's sleep, but just retold Xu Yuanzhi's analysis just now, and at the end, he naturally couldn't help but sigh:

"Xu Hou is really a fairy-like character! Thousands of miles of Shu, all kinds of clues, you can also see the fire! ”

"It's just that you're bolder, and then it's all about learning from other people's wisdom!" Xu Yuanzhi in the house didn't know if he was tired of listening to it, so he couldn't help but say it from afar. "Don't you have to sleep all night?"

The two outside the house were speechless.

"Father, have you stayed up all night and slept well?" In the Yizhou Pastoral Mansion, which was blocked by Wu Ban himself, above a certain attic, Liu Yan's second son, Liu Dan, was carefully comforting his haggard father. "Just now, the third child has been promised by Xu Yuanzhi that he will never hurt the lives of you and my father and son...... At this point, it was useless for my father to think too much. ”

"I'm not worrying about myself." Liu Yan's almost red eyes are gray and scattered, like crazy, plus he cried in the middle of the night last night, which is really worrying, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he still showed great rationality and wisdom. "Dongzhou Shi is opposed, Yan Jun is on the side of the Sword Pavilion, the matter has come to this point, you and I have nothing to think about, I am worried that it is your brother......"

Liu Dan's heart immediately soured...... This father is really eccentric, the fourth child was thrown to Hebei by him and ignored it, the third child was placed under house arrest by him, and he accompanied him to this point, and at this time he was still thinking about his brother.

It is said that father and son have a deep relationship, but why only favor the eldest brother alone?

Liu Yan seemed to see through his second son's intentions, and he was helpless to explain: "You don't understand...... The three of you and I have no authority in our hands this time, but we have no worries about our lives. Only your brother is outside, there is still a saying, I am afraid that he will be careless, misjudge the situation, and finally die alone without a place to be buried, and he is so old that I will suffer the pain of losing my son first?! ”

In the end, Liu Junlang couldn't help but show his old age, and tears rippled again.

Liu Dan became more and more helpless, just when his father came crazy last night, he turned around and begged the guard on his side, who was obviously from the north, to bring a pot of hot water, and that's it.

Not to mention the Liu father and son, this night, since Xu Yuanzhi succeeded in assassinating the country, he lay down on his own, just letting Wu Yi reorganize the Mianzhu garrison; On the one hand, he asked Zhang Song to open the treasury to appease the families of the front-line Shu soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and officers; In the end, he did not forget to let people distribute documents in the name of Liu Mao to persuade Yan Yan and the surrounding counties in Fushui Pass on the front line.

And what is somewhat unexpected is that Liu Fan has almost disappeared...... His people did not fight back, did not cross the Fushui to the north to find Yan Yan, and did not appear in Chengdu in the west, but disappeared.

After a full seven or eight days, just when Yan Yan was completely anxious and Xu Shu was completely resting in Mianzhu, a message from Liu Fan finally came...... But it was a team of Pang Xibu soldiers who took the initiative to return to Mianzhu to bring the news.

These people are also Dongzhou scholars, and their families are all close to Mianzhu, and they are unwilling to follow Liu Fan and Pang Xi to Qianwei to find Zhao Wei.

Liu Fan went to find Zhao Wei, and did not surprise too many people, because the position of Mianzhu is too critical, and it must be recaptured as soon as possible, otherwise once the Yan army enters the hinterland of Shuzhong, everything will be over, so when Liu Fan found out that Dongzhou Shi had rebelled and Mianzhu changed hands, he could only go to Chengdu, Fushuiguan, and Qianwei to transfer troops, the so-called three choices.

Among them, although Chengdu has a large population, it has always been the foundation of the local strength of Shu, Liu Fan has no foundation there, if he really goes, when he gathers soldiers and horses, he can't say that the daylilies are cold...... In fact, at this time, there was really a ready-made army, which was nothing more than the Yanyan Department of Fushui and the Zhao Yun Department who were besieging Yang Hong in Qianwei.

There are two differences:

First, compared with Yan Yan, Zhao Wei is facing much less pressure, Yan Yan's Fushui Pass is a county, and it can't be turned around at all, and it is the main force of the Yan army with tens of thousands of absolute military superiority, once the troops are transferred to turn back, in case it doesn't work, then the defense of Shu Dao will naturally collapse, and it will inevitably be a situation where everything is over, and Zhao Wei is attacking and encircling a city in Yanghong District, surrounded by Qianwei, Shu County, Shu County, Ba County, and even several counties in Nanzhong, which has huge strategic space and strategic initiative;

Second, in the case of the rebellion of the Dongzhou scholars, Zhao Wei, as the largest leader of the Dongzhou scholars, had greater appeal and influence on the rebels than Yan Yan;

Third, Zhao Wei also has more soldiers and horses than Yan Yan, because before the war started, Zhao Wei was the Taishou of Shu County, Yan Yan was the Taishou of Ba County, and Zhao Wei himself was the original general of the front line of the Shu Army, but it was only because of Yang Hong's mess that he led the Shu County army to the south first, and Yan Yan had to go up as a last resort;

Fourth, Zhao Wei and Liu Yan have a closer relationship and a higher political status in Shu, and his person was the Taicang Order of the Han Dynasty long before Liu Yan entered Shu, and he has basically been Liu Yan's confidant and deputy position.

In fact, Pang Xi also used these principles to persuade Liu Fan.

Calculate the time, bypass Mianzhu from the mountain road, and then take the small road along the river to Han'an (Yang Hong rebellion, later Neijiang) Liu Fan and his party, at this time about to arrive at Zhao Wei's military camp.

After the news was confirmed, all the civil and military forces in Mianzhu City were panicked, but Xu Shu was completely relieved, and even went to visit Liu Yan once.

On this day, in the afternoon, thirty miles north of Han'an City, in a canyon, a group of three to five hundred people had just come out of the jungle, and then they were suddenly dizzy by the scorching sun here, but it was Liu Fan and his party who were embarrassed here.

"Liu Fujun." A small school with a local accent who led the way was out of breath, and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his face before speaking. "The weather is hot, and it is impossible to go to the barracks today, so it is better for you to camp here for a while, and I will contact the barracks again, and it is best to send more cars and horses to pick it up tomorrow."

Liu Fan instinctively went to see Pang Xi, but the latter understood, so he gritted his teeth and got up: "I'll go with you to see Zhao Gong!" ”

The little school didn't care, and then, regardless of the heat, the two beat their horses together to the south.

In the middle of the night, there was nothing to do, the frogs and cicadas kept chirping, and Guanghan was too guarded by Liu Fan to toss and turn, and it was difficult to sleep, but not because of the noise in his ears, but because he was extremely sad in his heart...... He regretted for a while that he was confused that day, and he actually went out of the city, and for a while regretted that he did not grit his teeth and gallop back to the city that night to preside over the situation, and regretted that he did not raise troops to attack the city the next morning...... In short, no matter what, as a filial son, in the current situation where his father's life and death are unknown, he has not lived and died with his father, and there are always 10,000 reasons to criticize himself for his cowardice these days.

Of course, Liu Fan also has a certain rationality, he knows the truth in Pang Xi's words, since the rebels can control the entire city in one night, it must be Dongzhou Shijun is opposed, in this case, no one except Zhao Wei can calmly deal with this situation. And Yan Yan, compared to Zhao Wei's side, there is really a gap in all aspects.

It was under this intense thought that Liu Fan finally barely fell asleep, and then immediately dreamed of the days when he followed his father to live in seclusion in Yangcheng Mountain when he was young...... Although life was hard at that time, although the father and son did not have half of the titles, they could be regarded as living a smooth life, how did they get to this point today?

Is it because my father has a cross-country heart that shouldn't be raised? The more than 1,000 cars are proof of that.

However, as a filial son, even in a dream, he instinctively opposes this act of throwing responsibility to his own father...... It must be that this son of his own is too incompetent! If he has the ability of Yan Gong, he has been operating like an iron bucket for a year, and he can't say that he can still let his father get what he wants in his lifetime!

At dawn the next day, without waiting for Pang Xi to greet him, Liu Fan, who was anxious in his heart, urged his entourage to hurry as soon as possible while the summer heat had not arrived...... Although everyone was tired, they also knew that this was the right time to hurry, so they did not complain.

Not to mention, after walking only a few miles, when he was about to get out of the canyon, he saw a banner of military horses at the mouth of the valley in the distance.

Liu Fan was overjoyed when he saw this, and stepped forward with a strong spirit, and saw that the other party was not moving at all when he came to a few steps away, but he was strange for a while, and he couldn't help but ask while walking:

"Where will Pang Zhonglang be, why don't you come to see me? Where is Zhao Fujun? Why don't you come to the ceremony? ”

The officers on the opposite side were speechless, but as one of them bowed slightly, one of them rushed out from the rear, and it was the colonel who led the way yesterday, and his person came to the front of the formation, and immediately replied:

"Pang Xi is here!"

With that, the man took out an object from behind his horse, threw it with all his might, and hurried back into battle.

Liu Fan looked down, almost cold, it turned out that this thing turned out to be Pang Xi's head!

Between the lightning and the fire, the eldest son of Yizhou, who had experienced the relocation of the capital, instantly became clear-minded - yes, the reason why Zhao Wei was used was because of his own father Liu Yan, and now Liu Yan's life and death are unknown, why did he call Zhao Wei?

If nothing happens, it will be a dead end; Even if it is done, sooner or later he will have to replace Zhao Wei with Pang Xi...... If you are Zhao Wei, you don't want to work for a Guanghan Taishou who has lost Guanghan, right?

It turns out that he has left his father, and he is nothing!

Although the thought was complicated, it only flashed through his mind for a moment, and at the same time, Liu Fan had already instinctively turned around and tried to escape.

However, how could Zhao Yunjun, who had been prepared for a long time, let him go?

With the order behind him, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the dignified Yizhou heir died under the random arrows of the soldiers and horses of Shu County.

I don't know if he can think of the time on Yangcheng Mountain between life and death.

————I'm the dividing line where only one son died————

Xu Yuanzhi established Mianzhu, searched for Liu Fan all over the time, and was worried that he would lead troops back, so he focused on city defense, and he didn't dare to slow down. And Fan Bushi died and returned to Mianzhu, and clearly told Fan to go to Qianwei Zhao Yun's army, with many soldiers, the whole city was shocked, and Xu Yuan was relieved, and went to Liu Yan, and hung with humble words. Yan knew that his son was looking for Zhao Wei, and he was hanged: "My son is dead! Then the night of gray hair. Later, Zhao Yunguo killed Liu Fan, and according to Qianwei and Shu County, he became self-reliant. —"The World Speaks New Words". Death and Injury

PS: I tried to watch the ceremony during the day, of course it wasn't a real view, and I definitely couldn't get in, and finally I was frustrated in the north of Wangfujing, and I watched the live broadcast with my mobile phone in a store...... I knew I was staying at home.
