Chapter 197: Seizure of Power (1)
Zhang Rao's prestige among the people of Qingzhou is extremely high, especially among the people of Beihai, it can be said that nine times out of ten they will be grateful for his kindness.
The place with the most soldiers and horses in Qingzhou is undoubtedly Linzi, where the Thorn History Department is located, and it is also where the head of the entire Qingzhou is located, which can be described as a battleground for battle.
Zhang Rao chose Beihai instead of Qi County, firstly, he was originally a Beihai person, and he was deeply rooted in Beihai and easy to develop, and secondly, he was adjacent to Qi County, as long as he captured Beihai, he could be both offensive and defensive, and it would be more secure.
He proved right, and within a few months, he had conquered most of the North Sea, leaving only the hardest bone to gnaw there.
In line with preconceived notions, Zhang Rao originally thought that Chu Fei's appointment in Linzi was just a helpless move, or he wanted to understand the situation of the other party and know his confidant.
Even if he was giving soup and food in Linzi, it was to win the people's popularity and plan for the future, but three months ago, he got Chu Fei to fight the Yellow Turban army in Kunshan County.
This time Zhang Rao was a little uncontrollable, but the uprising had just broken out, and he had to stay in Beihai and couldn't get out, so he ordered people to send their hearts to Linzi, so that they must be careful of Chu Fei, they must not be underestimated, if they want to be an enemy, they must treat him as a first-class enemy.
But Rao was like this, the power of Qi County was still wiped out, and this time Zhang Rao couldn't hold his breath, leaving 10,000 horses in Beihai, and rushed over with the rest of the army.
He knows that Chu Fei's men and horses are fighting more and more, the most important thing is that his prestige among the civilians is extremely high, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are easy to rebel against him, such a person is either used for his own use, or he must be eliminated at the first time, otherwise it will be a scourge after all, and it is likely that the power in the entire Qingzhou will disappear in the end.
When Gong Jing saw Zhang Rao leading the army to kill, he immediately panicked, and immediately arranged for Chu Fei to go out of the city to face the battle.
But Chu Fei shook his head and refused: "In the past, Zhang Rao was kind to me, I didn't want to fight with him, and I asked my lord to send someone to go." ”
Gong Jing's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his heart was suddenly displeased, but at this time, he still had to rely on Chu Fei to fight, so naturally he couldn't completely offend him.
"Already has this? However, there is no conscience to use at this time, although it is a little difficult to fight with you, but it can only be fought by you, so I will order someone to transfer Xu Duwei back from Zicheng to not embarrass you. ”
Chu Fei's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
After thinking for a while, Chu Fei still decided to speak.
Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, Gong Jing is not easy to make trouble, if he settles down, this matter will not be easy to deal with, so speaking out at this time is also the best opportunity.
"I'm afraid Xu De won't be able to come."
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
Gong Jing's brows furrowed even deeper, not knowing what Chu Fei meant.
Originally, he sent someone to Zicheng to investigate, but he met Chu Fei's men and horses halfway, so the situation in Zicheng was not known for the time being.
And the Yellow Turban Army that defeated Qi Jun's generation was too fast, and they were only busy celebrating, so they didn't know the news that Xu De had been killed by Chu Fei for the time being.
The people who knew about it were all Chu Fei's people, and it was naturally impossible for them to tell Gong Jing about this, even if they had different intentions, they would have already sent someone to secretly observe, and they would take it on the spot as soon as they made a move.
"Xu De and the Yellow Turban Thieves intend to harm me, if it weren't for my quick reaction and good skills, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot at this time."
"What!"
Gong Jing was stunned on the spot when he heard this, he knew better than anyone what kind of person Xu De was.
It is true that Xu De has a small belly and chicken intestines and flaws must be reported, but he is also a person from a rich background who attaches great importance to the imperial court.
If he pretends to be a public servant and wants to embarrass Chu Fei, or even to harm Chu Fei in danger, he believes it, but to say that Xu De and the Yellow Turban Thieves rebelled? Gong Jing won't believe it.
"What about Xu Deren? Where is he? You imprisoned him? Gong Jing said urgently.
Seeing this, Chu Fei was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said kindly: "If I didn't resist at that time, I would have died at this time, and in desperation, Xu De was killed by me on the spot." ”
"What!"
Gong Jing's face turned pale suddenly, and he couldn't help but take two steps back unsteadily, and pointed at Chu Fei tremblingly and said: Since you killed him! ”
Seeing Gong Jing like this, Chu Fei couldn't help frowning.
Needless to say, Rao is how optimistic Gong Jing was about himself before this, and now he can see that his heart is more optimistic about Xu De after all.
Now that Xu De is dead, Gong Jing has this expression, to be honest, Chu Fei is not disappointed is fake.
"My lord, if I don't kill him, then I will die!"
As he spoke, Chu Fei lifted his clothes, revealing the scar that Xu De had left on him before.
"This is what Xu De left me, he colluded with the Yellow Turban Thieves to refuse me to enter the city, and when he saw that I and the Yellow Turban Thieves were both defeated, he took the opportunity to kill me and wanted to put me to death, and the whole army can testify for me in this matter! There are also many of Xu De's cronies among these people, adults may wish to ask one or two questions, and return my innocence! ”
As soon as these words came out, although Gong Jing was still sad and indignant, he also calmed down.
It's just that he still didn't give Chu Fei a good look, but snorted coldly and said: "This matter is very important, now that the thieves have arrived, let's retreat the thieves first!" ”
Chu Fei clenched his fists, and could only turn around and leave with a promise.
Now Gong Jing has seen that he is unhappy, and if he continues to rectify it, I am afraid that there will be internal problems.
Zhang Rao personally led the troops to attack, which was definitely the biggest threat, and no matter what, he couldn't cause a conflict in this matter.
After leaving, Chu Fei immediately ordered his troops and horses out of the city, rushed in the direction where the Yellow Turban Army was located, and settled down ten miles outside Linzi City, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.
Zang Ba said that he was leaving, but he didn't make it after all. He is a foreign aid invited by Chu Fei, and he also belongs to Chu Fei, so he also has his share in sending troops this time.
Seeing Chu Fei's ugly face, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chu, is there something on your mind?" ”
After hearing Zang Ba's words, Chu Fei hesitated for a moment, then sighed and briefly said what happened.
When Sun Guan heard this, he immediately shouted: "I'll just say it, this guy is not a good bird, Brother Chu has made a great contribution, not only does this guy not award but also doesn't give a good look, Brother Chu, otherwise you leave with us, see how he guards." ”
Chu Fei shook his head slightly, his anger still did not subside, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Zang Ba seemed to calm down, heard Sun Guan's words and pondered for a moment, checked left and right and then said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, virtuous people have lived there, and now the soldiers are in chaos, Rao is brave and invincible, and it is inevitable that he will be injured by hidden arrows. ”
