The news has not yet spread. Although it is said that the people who live on the side of Yongning. Already aware of something. But as ordinary people. They didn't see what it meant. In their eyes. That is, discovery. Various tribes scattered around Vinh Ninh Province. He gathered the men and horses of the tribe. But what exactly is to be done. I'm afraid they can't think of it either. No. It's not so much unexpected. It's better to be an ordinary person. I don't think about it that way at all.

Of course. You can't just knock over a boatload of people with a single stroke. Naturally, there are smart people. There are naturally many people who can see what is going to happen soon. There are local officials and people. There are also those people of insight who have seen it. But this kind of thing. As long as the government did not speak. The people below even say it. No one will believe it.

And as a person from the government. Those old fritters who have been officials for so many years will not understand this truth? As long as one of them says the news. Regardless of whether it is an official statement or not. There's bound to be chaos down there. Then they're going to be in trouble.

So. As soon as this incident came out. There was no movement from the local government at all. Many people have found various reasons. Get out of the local area. Speaking of which. If in normal times. It didn't work. As long as these people move. The people will definitely be in chaos. But now it's different. After all, it's the time for the New Year. Even if these officials suddenly left several times. It doesn't seem strange.

And for Zhang Fan, they said. They are also indifferent now. Whether it is Zhu Xuanqi. Or Liu Xian. Or Zhang Fan. Any of the three of them. All have the right to announce the news and let the people below know. And let the local people go to refuge quickly. But none of them did. The reason is simple. They all understand it very well. Once the news gets out. The local people will inevitably become confused. Under the chaos. I'm afraid of casualties. Compared to the time when the army came, it was not much better.

All three of them knew this in their hearts. So it didn't do that at all.

All in all. That's the way it is. Now I even know what will happen then. But now nothing can be done. Speaking of which. All this is not because of the two people Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. If it weren't for catching them. Or simply kill them. There's no need to be so troublesome. It can well be imagined. Whether it is Zhang Fan or Liu Xian. The hatred for those two people has increased a few more points. Now both of them have begun to think about what to do with them when the time comes to catch them.

And today Liu Xian will be here. Except that he wanted to come over and remind Zhu Xuanqi. Let him not panic when the time comes. More important things. It was Liu Xian who wanted to discuss this matter with Zhang Fan again. Although said before. The two of them had already prepared what they were going to prepare. And Liu Xian received the news yesterday. I went to set it up right away. But. After all, the stakes are high. I can't overstate how to prepare.

Speaking of which, though. The two discussed the matter. It's kind of weird. In the past. If this is the case. It's not just the imperial court that's worried. There will be a lot of people discussing solutions. But now. But there are only these two people. It really made them feel very strange.

"That's right, Lord Zhang." Liu Xian suddenly thought of something. couldn't help but ask Zhang Fan. "This thing. I don't know if Lord Zhang has informed the court. ”

"This is natural." Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "As soon as I got the news last night. I immediately wrote a recital. Let his men be sent back to the capital overnight. However, it is a bit too far from the capital. I'm afraid to wait until the news arrives. The people in the court have not yet discussed it. The fighting here is over. ”

Listen to what Zhang Fan said. Liu Xian also nodded. He's not a guy who plays by the rules. Especially the temper he had in battle. I also understand the fact that opportunities are fleeting. So once there is an opportunity. He will never let it go. He asked. The main thing is to inform. No matter how much it is self-asserted. The court has to make a report. Otherwise, there will definitely be trouble later.

But what he said to Zhang Fan. I agree. Although Sichuan is a little too far away from the capital. But if you send 800 miles to rush back overnight to deliver the letter. It really won't be long. Three or four days of effort at most. You will be able to rush to the capital.

But. This time around. But it was decided. This time the battle. It's definitely not going to last long. It's a quick battle. I'm afraid it's a day at most. The march will begin over there. And wait. Liu Xian was about to rush over. Went to the front to sit in battle. Of course. News of Liu Xian's past. It is also kept secret from the outside world. In order not to let those two know.

This time the battle. Quick. In Liu Xian's view. Even if the other party dispatched 20,000 horses, so many. But wasn't their goal to completely defeat the 20,000 men? The conditions also did not allow Liu Xian to do this. It's not because Major General Liu Xianbing is outnumbered. Anyway. Liu Xian's 350,000 people are not vegetarians. Plus he was prepared. It is not difficult to annihilate these people. Mainly because these 20,000 people are really impossible to kill.

There's no problem with killing a thousand, two thousand, or five thousand. But if you kill more than 10,000. That's a big problem. If they are all killed. I'm afraid that the time comes. It's going to be even messier here than it is now.

Originally. The Ming Dynasty has been from the founding of the country to the present. This problem in the southwest has always existed. There has been no way to solve it. The problem is that so many tribes live here. It's a mixed bag. It's hard to figure it out. For the imperial court. They didn't just have to deal with the problems between the Han Chinese and these tribes. Even these tribes themselves have many problems. Sometimes it also needs the intervention and mediation of the imperial court.

The servant's affair is still easy to say. Even Liu Xian's servants and tens of thousands of people were all wiped out. But the servants have been running rampant here for so many years. Whether it is Han Chinese or people of other tribes. They all hate them. All in all. Liu Xian killed the servants. Whether it is for the Han people or for other ethnic groups. It's all a good thing.

But the 20,000 people are different. Although they were provoked by Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. But after all, they are also ethnic minorities living here. And not all of them are over there. There are also people of the same clan and clan who live in Sichuan and Yunnan.

It's good to explain how to kill a thousand. After all, they really rebelled. But if Liu Xian once killed 20,000 people. It's not just the tribes they have to do with. Even people of other races. There will also be great hostility towards the imperial court. I'm afraid this southwestern land. From now on, it will be an eventful place. So. Liu Xian can't do that.

Therefore. This time the battle. To put it bluntly, there is only one theme. Capture the thief and capture the king first. It's best to be able to do it before the armies start to play against each other. And he seized the two men. Or simply kill.

About that. Zhang Fan had been prepared for a long time. He had already sent a lot of people to Yongning's side. Together with the people he had long placed beside those two.

There's one thing, though. It's always been something that Liu Xian can't even figure out. In Liu Xian's view. Those two men were killed a day earlier. Finish this a day earlier. But Zhang Fan's primary purpose. But he captured those two people alive.

On this issue. Zhang Fan didn't say. Liu Xian didn't ask. In Liu Xian's view. I'm afraid that Zhang Fan was ordered by someone above. That's what I do. But even so. Liu Xian is still very uncomfortable with this matter. After all, things have come to this point. The people above don't care about the lives of the common people. Something else wanted to do. Liu Xian is very unaccustomed to this approach.

And for Zhang Fan. He didn't understand that. Merely. Since he had already promised Fang Yueling. Things have to be done. It's not that he's afraid of the Five Poisons Sect. It's that he's afraid of trouble. If you can rescue Fang Zhenqian before. That's for the best. Zhang Fan would immediately order the elimination of those two people.

But if he can't save Fang Zhenqian. Zhang Fan will still wait a little more.

Of course. This does not mean that Zhang Fan will wait so stupidly. If you say it, it is very difficult to get out of Fang Zhenqian. And before that. Those two have already done a lot of damage. Zhang Fan will also ruthlessly wipe out those two people in advance. After all, compared to a Fang Zhenqian. Or the tens of millions of people below are more important.

When the time comes. Even if Fang Zhenqian lost his life because of this. Even if Fang Yueling wanted to trouble him because of this. He'll be up face to face, too.

But. This is the last resort. And now. The operation to rescue Fang Zhenqian has already begun. Zhang Fan followed the news that came. Someone was sent. Investigate the places where those two people used to stay in Yongning Mansion. Let's see if we can find Fang Zhenqian's whereabouts.

After discussing it with Zhang Fan. Liu Xian is also not dragging his feet at all. Set off in secret immediately. I went to Yongning.

And Zhang Fan. But he was waiting for Fang Yueling's arrival. Although it was already planned to do so before. But trouble this kind of thing. Nobody wants it. If you can tell Fang Yueling in advance. That's for the best.

Merely. In the afternoon of the same day. Zhang Fan met Fang Yueling.

This is a miracle. You must know that Zhang Fan asked Joanna to inform Xia Lingbo in the morning. Let her pass the news back to the Five Poisons Sect. How could it be on the same day. Fang Yueling is here.

But when Zhang Fan heard the news. I was only slightly stunned and understood. And laughed. It's all there. Zhang Fan knew everything was going on. And. This is also extremely beneficial to him. After all, this means. I have buried the chess pieces for many years. It's already starting to work.
