Chapter 660: The Death of the Secretary (I)

On the third night after the decisive battle, on the morning of May, after repelling another enemy attack, Fan Ji shot a long sword and dragged his tired body back from the city wall to the high platform of the inner city.

The high platform was built on the basis of the ancient palace of the Republic of China, where you can see the whole city and even the outside of the city when the moon and stars are scarce.

However, you don't need to look to know that the outside has been besieged by the Zhao army, and only the north gate is left. Some retainers proposed to break out from there, but Fan Jishu knew that this was a common plan to encircle three without one, and once he went out, he would inevitably face the attack of the Zhao army's ambush soldiers.

Fan Jishu knew very well that he couldn't turn the tables anymore, after he was defeated by Zhao's father and son by Qinshui, he returned to Gongcheng and gathered thousands of people, plus 5,000 people sent by Chaoge, and gathered an army of 10,000 people, but after the decisive battle, the Fan soldiers who followed him into the city did not save one.

In the decisive battle three days ago, despite the help of strong winds, he and Zhong Xingyin were defeated, and all the soldiers were thrown on the field of more than 20 miles between Fan and Gong, and even the large camp outside the city was burned to the ground by the Zhao reinforcements who suddenly arrived.

He entered the city under Wang Sheng's death, and Zhong Xingyin hurriedly led some people to the east, and he didn't know if it was a blessing in disguise, and he didn't have to be trapped in the lonely city. Fan Jishu could only wish this in-law and old friend luck that he could escape the pursuit of Zhao's light cavalry.

In the past few days, the Zhao soldiers have been attacking the city continuously, and they have exhausted all kinds of means, although the Gongcheng is larger than the city, it is stronger, there is a moat, and there is an outer Guo, but it is still only rammed earth, and it is crumbling under the attack, plus the enemy's strange siege ladders, no one knows when it will fall.

But Vanji shot again and again refused to break through. He said, "I have caused the people of the common people to lose their children, and how can I forsake them now?" Let alone. I'd rather die in the city than send myself out and be captured. To be humiliated by the Zhao father and son! ”

Back on the high platform, Jin Guoxia Junzuo was already out of breath, and he waved his hand to let everyone else go down.

After the guards and erectors retreated, only the retainer Gongsun Yan did not retreat, his eyes staring at the long sword unsheathed in Fan Ji's archer, and he stopped talking.

Fan Jishu knew what this retainer was thinking, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry." I won't kill myself, it's not the last minute, the ants are still stealing, I want to live a little longer......"

"Lord, the subordinates have no other meaning......" Gongsun Yu lowered his head, the Fan clan would be defeated in such a situation, it was really something he didn't expect before.

"I just want to be alone, and since the big defeat three days ago, those old memories have been coming back to me."

Fan Jishu sighed: "This." It's a sign of the so-called imminent death of man, and if you stay, I'll tell you about it......"

……

The Fan family is ancient and prosperous, and has a profound cultural heritage. Generations of people can come out in large numbers, especially after the accumulation of two generations of Fan Kuo and Fan Marting, this family is even more powerful and prosperous. Go without saying. Fan's new generation naturally has talented and talented people.

"My father had three sons, namely Fan Wei, the eldest son. The second son, Fan Gaoyi, and his son-in-law. It's me Fan Ji who ejaculated ......"

Speaking of which, although he and the Zhao family are now because of the death of Le Qi, because the enmity between the two sons is like fire and water, there is no way to resolve it at all, there is only one ending, you die and I die, but when I was young, it was not like this.

Fan Jishu said to Gongsun Yan: "You may not have expected that at that time, the relationship between my three brothers and Zhao Ying, who had just been promoted to secretary, was really good. ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned, this was indeed what he didn't expect.

"One day, my three brothers were invited by Zhao Meng to go to the lower palace for a banquet, and when they were hunting and playing on the cotton, Zhao Meng was worried about a trivial matter: he liked to ride a horse and drive in his homeland, but the garden was full of trees, and it was very inconvenient to drive. When he saw us coming, he asked, 'What is the matter?' 'Ask us to give him an idea.' ”

"My eldest brother Fan Wei didn't understand the amorous feelings, he said that riding a horse in the garden is a boring thing, Mingjun doesn't ask or do it, and Chaojun doesn't ask to do it, how to choose, Jun Shi thinks about it...... It seems to make sense, but in fact nothing is said. ”

My second brother Gao Yi replied: If you want the chariots and horses to walk freely in the garden, you need to work for the people to cut down the trees. If you love the horse's feet, you don't have the power to love the people, and if you love the people's power, you don't have to love the horses' feet...... There are suggestions, but there are drawbacks, and he is a stupid person. ”

Gongsun Yan dared to ask, "What did the lord answer at that time?" “

"Me?"

Fan Jichu smiled. He remembered that he was as young as the tender grass of spring, but he thought very highly of himself, and he glanced at his two elder brothers with disdain, and said: "The suggestions of the two elder brothers are not appropriate, and I have a plan, which can not only solve the general's problems, but also let the people under his rule enjoy the kindness of three times without complaint!" ”

"What I said specifically at that time, my memory is a little blurred, it is nothing more than in the name of opening the garden, fooling the people to cut down trees, and then selling the trees to the people at a low price, so as to get the people's happiness and no complaints."

"Zhao Ying was overjoyed and immediately acted according to the plan, and sure enough, not only was the problem solved, but the people near the lower palace were also very satisfied."

Gongsun Yan said: "The lord is wise, and it should be so. ”

Fan Jishu laughed and said, "Smart? No, my mother, who is also a concubine, doesn't see it that way. ”

He continued: "I was also very proud of my plan, and I went back to tell my mother, but my mother sighed, and she prophesied, 'Whoever destroys the Fan clan will also be killed.'" Showing off his wisdom and showing off his merits, but he can't be benevolent, and people who take advantage of hypocrisy and deceit like this inherit the family business, can Fan Thi'an last a long time'? ”

"This ......" Gongsun Yan was speechless.

"Harsh, huh? It is indeed very harsh, more than 20 years have passed, and every time I think about it, I feel righteous indignation, why did my mother say this about me! ”

Fan Ji laughed self-deprecatingly: "Until today, I was stunned to find out that my mother was right, after my father's death, I was in charge of the Fan clan for only four years, and then I brought the Qiangqing clan, which was once prominent and held tens of thousands of halberds, to the brink of extinction......"

The shouts and killings of the Zhao soldiers attacking the city outside have not subsided, but there was silence on the high platform for a while, and I don't know how long it took for Fan Ji to hold back his memories and sigh:

"These things have passed, and now Zhao Ying and I have become enemies of life and death, and I can't eat each other's meat, and my two brothers, Brother Meng, were trapped in the camp and were captured by the Zhao family, and they were forced to come to persuade him to surrender yesterday, and I scared him back with a rain of arrows, hoping that he could save his life."

"As for the second brother Gaoyi, he turned against me because of the issue of establishing an heir, and now he has taken refuge in the new ruling Zhibo and is a doctor in the national capital, named Fan Xiaozong, but in fact, he does not want to usurp the position of the head of the Fan family all the time......"

Thinking of Fan Gaoyi, who split the Fan clan and caused a large territory west of Taihang to disobey orders, Fan Jichu was full of anger, he stood up from the resting seat, gritted his teeth and said: "If I die in this common city, Brother Meng can't help himself, then Fan's family temple and territory may only be inherited by Fan Gaoyi, but it is cheaper for him......"

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering whistling sound at the east gate, filled with joy or despair, and these sounds penetrated a mile and reached the high platform!

Fan Ji was shocked, he took Gongsun Yan outside, but saw that the wall of the east gate was blazing, and a fire dragon broke through the city gate and came from the outer Guo towards the inner city!

Of course, this can't be reinforcements, Fan Jijiao knows very well that unless the Zhi clan, who has always harbored a conspiracy, is brazenly involved, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan have no troops to call on for the time being.

"What's wrong!" Fan Jichu was shocked, pulled the others and asked, and it wasn't until half a moment later that someone who came from there in a hurry told him the reason.

"Lord, Bai Di has rebelled! They attacked the east gate and sacrificed the city gate, and the Zhao army was pouring in! ”

……

"Rong Di's human-faced beast heart, once he is slightly unexpected, he will backfire and cause harm...... This is really the case today, I knew that when I entered the city that day, I should have slaughtered those Bai Di of the analysis department first! If so, we may be able to stay for a few more days......"

Fan Ji can't regret it, so far, why did Bai Di descend to Zhao? Was it a temporary idea? It doesn't matter if it's a long-planned conspiracy.

The important thing is that the city has been broken, and they are now like turtles with a hard shell that has been pried open, to be slaughtered.

From the high platform, everything is clear. The enemy first poured into the east gate, followed by the west gate, the south gate, and the north gate. The morale of Fan Bing had already fallen below the freezing point, and soon, the four gates of the outer Guo were all broken, and the inner city with low walls could not defend against people at all, not to mention that Zhao Bing had already rushed in with the defeated city gate defenders.

There was chaos in the city, and the war refugees who had previously poured in fled in all directions, or crowded into their houses and did not dare to come out, and the retainers of Fan Jijiao disappeared in the chaos, some fled, some were killed, and some were captured alive.

"The general trend is ......"

Fan Ji looked at the crescent moon in amazement.

From following his father to order the princes to be beautiful, to becoming a prisoner, it was only a few years. From tens of thousands of armor, the first powerful secretary of the Jin State to today's commander of the light pole, it is only a few days. From having hundreds of thousands of people to having nothing at all, it was just overnight......

This gap is really big, so big that it is difficult for Fan Jijiao to accept!

I want to be young and promising, and who else can I do in the world.

And now, he is lonely and embarrassed on the high platform of the common city.

Fan Ji knew that he could not recover the defeat, and soon the enemy would be killed here, and he seemed to have heard the shouts of Zhao Bing getting closer and closer, and they were tying him up as a prisoner? And to cut off his head? Stick it on the tip of the spear to intimidate the people of the Fan family, or show mercy and let him be buried with his poor son?

He could almost imagine Zhao Mengsheng capturing himself, or the smugness after seeing his corpse, which he could never accept.

So Fan Jiji understands that his death time has come!

He couldn't help laughing miserably: "May is obscure, Zhao Meng deserves to be my friend when I was young, and he really picked a good day for me!" ”
