Southern Jingzhou, Guiyang County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan was in the palace at the moment, anxious like an ant on an oil pot, and there was no quiet time when he was going around in the hall. This Guiyang is the farthest away from Xiangyang, and the relative degree of development is also relatively poor, so the administrative center of Jingxiang has not been very interested here, and when Liu Biaojian was there, he asked Zhao Fan to handle the local government affairs well, and then handed over the corresponding grain and rice every year. In other words, it's the kind of "as long as nothing happens to you, I don't bother to pay attention to you".

After Liu Biao's death, there were many big and small things, followed by the semi-independent state of the four counties of Jingnan. Regarding Guiyang's semi-self-reliant state, Zhao Fan also has his own difficulties. In fact, Zhao Fan is still relatively self-aware, he knows that he can't do anything big, although he is a county guard, he doesn't have any strength at all, and the best way to protect himself is to rely on Jingxiang's authorities, so he doesn't want to make any self-reliance at all.

But after Liu Biao's death, Liu Bei and Liu Qi were driven away by Cao Cao before they could sit hot in Xiangyang's buttocks, and although they were stable for half a year under Lao Cao's arrangement, who knew that Lao Cao would be defeated in Chibi a few days ago and was beaten back to Xuchang by Sun Liu's coalition army? No one can say who Jing Xiang will fall into next, and poor Zhao Fan doesn't know who to attach to.

Next, Lingling, Changsha, and Wuling successively stood on their own, and the three counties and county guards all regarded themselves as one side of the candidates, if Zhao Fan did not follow the trend and stand on his own, he would first be half short in the so-called political status, and the other three counties would use their political status to suppress him...... Lao Tzu is bigger than you, and you are younger than me, of course you have to listen to me!

You say take refuge, take refuge, after occupying the territory, can Zhao Fan be tolerated, can he keep his life, let's not talk about him first, the most important thing is that Zhao Fan knows that the three county guards are not good birds, and the strength in his hands is not much stronger than himself. If the overall situation in the north of Jingzhou is decided, and the people in power send troops to attack, it is strange that these four counties can stop it. Instead of being a little shorter and then shorter, it's better to just hold up a little face first, so that you still have a little capital to get into the body when you deal with the big boss in the future. So Zhao Fan gritted his teeth and became self-reliant with the other three counties. Anyway, geographically speaking, Guiyang is the farthest away from the central point of Xiangyang, and he has enough time to wait and see the battle situation before making a choice.

But what I didn't expect was ......

"Lu Ren doesn't stay honestly in Yi and Quanzhou, why are you sending troops to fight me? There was no grudge in the past, and there is no hatred in the near future! ”

Just a few days ago, thousands of Lu Ren's elite soldiers suddenly appeared in the southeast direction of Guiyang. And these thousands of elite soldiers have no reason to be grandiose, and they directly made it clear that they were here to capture Guiyang. Zhao Fan's eyes have been paying attention to the north, and the sudden killing of the southeast caught him off guard, and he hurriedly gathered seven or eight thousand miscellaneous troops in the city, led by the two generals Chen Ying and Bao Long. It's just that it's okay if this battle is not fought, and Zhao Fan's scalp will be numb as soon as it is fought. The other party probably dispatched 3,000 vanguards, and the defenders of Guiyang were crushed with just one charge. Chen Ying was killed by an arrow from Gan Ning, Bao Long died in the chaos, and only about 3,000 of the nearly 8,000 defenders fled back to the city.

Now Guiyang City is surrounded by the other party, but it is surrounded but not attacked, and Zhao Fan doesn't know what the other party wants to do. However, Zhao Fan now has a plan to go out of the city and surrender......

――――――――――――――――――――

In the big tent of the Ganning military camp outside the city.

"Brother Yuanzhi, this Guiyang City is no different from an empty city, why don't you let me take it down in one go?"

Xu Shu was cutting off a piece of barbecue meat with a knife and smearing it with spicy sauce, and after hearing Gan Ning's question, he smiled and said, "Brother Xingba, you don't need it at all." I have seen this Guiyang County Shou Zhao Fan a few times when I was under Liu Biao's account in the past, and his talent is not very good, but he can be regarded as a very loyal and diligent person, but he is more timid and afraid of things. A few days ago, we defeated him in just one battle, and the two generals were also killed together, and I thought that this Zhao Fan was already frightened now. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, we now only need to scare instead of fighting. ”

Gan Ning said: "Scared? Scared him out of the city and surrendered? ”

Xu Shu nodded: "Exactly!" In the past few days, we only need to go to the city from time to time to scold and make some show off our might, so that he can have a good look at how strong and well-equipped we are, and I believe that Zhao Fan will be frightened by us in less than three days, and obediently surrender the city. If you insist on attacking the city, it's okay, but I'm worried that he will fight the trapped beasts, then we will have some unnecessary losses no matter what, and the most important thing is that I am afraid that the other three counties will want to pick up the bargain after hearing about the war here. The forces under the command of the lord are limited, and if there is no need, let's not make unnecessary sacrifices.

"Of course we are not afraid of the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Lingling, Wuling, and Changsha, but why fight unnecessary battles? Moreover, the lord has repeatedly explained that our goal is only one county of Guiyang, and the other three counties will not touch him. The lord naturally has his plans to ask for this, and I have calculated that the lord wants to save as much strength as possible, and we must have other goals in the next step. To put it bluntly, this Guiyang First World War is just a pre-dinner snack, giving us practice and letting the soldiers have more actual combat experience. I also know that Xingba, you don't think it's fun to fight, but for the sake of the lord's plan, you should bear with it first, anyway, in the future war, you will definitely lead the army to fight, and then you can naturally have a good time. ”

Gan Ning said with his jaw headed: "Yuan Zhi is right! Then tomorrow I will go to the city to scare Zhao Fan and force him to surrender as soon as possible. ”

A plate of fragrant barbecue was delivered to Gan Ning, and Xu Shu smiled: "Come, try!" It took me a lot of thought to get the spiced barbecue, and the sauce on it was even more difficult to get my hands on. And this big fat pig, which I bought from a nearby village with great difficulty. The lord has instructed us not to disturb the people unless necessary, and we have not committed any offence with the people along the way, but there are still many people who run away from the army. In order to buy this pig, I also deliberately asked my attendants to wait in the village for a whole day, and at the same time sent people out to find and persuade the people, and made it clear that they would not harm them, so I bought it back. Alas, the whole way is gnawing on compressed biscuits, and the birds are about to fade out of their mouths. ”

Gan Ning took it unceremoniously and said: "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but I see this pig Yuan Zhi You have been fiddling with interest for a long time, will you have some self-damage to your identity?" ”

"Gentleman?"

Xu Shu snorted, forked a piece with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "A true gentleman should act worthy of heaven and earth." If you are bound by those red tape, how many things can you really do? If you are careful to pay attention to those worldly distractions in order to be called a gentleman, I would rather learn from my lord's 'I would rather be a true villain than a false husband'...... Do you eat or not? If you don't eat it, I'll have it all. ”

Gan Ning hurriedly withdrew his hand, Xu Shu's hand to grab the food plate was empty, and Gan Ning smiled boldly: "Well said, well said, Yuan Zhi, your words are really in a certain heart." I have defected to Liu Biao like you before, but although Liu Biao seems to be quite a gentleman, in fact, he can't do anything except dance and ink, play some poetry and songs, and he is still jealous and jealous behind his back, and he is always guarding against people...... Hey, hey, Brother Xu, leave me some! Do you think you're the only one who fades out of your mouth this way? I'm not just eating dry food like you! Alas, that is, you can't drink alcohol when marching and fighting! ”

Deng Ai on the side retreated wordlessly when he saw this situation, but after a while, he turned back, with two more water bladders in his hand, and after handing them to the two, Deng Ai said: "When I was leaving, the master explained to me, saying that when the two of us are together, they must be indispensable for drinking, but before the battle is decided, they will strictly abide by military discipline and not drink alcohol." Now it seems that the battle has been decided, and these good wines handed over to me by the master can be handed over to the two of you. ”

"Oh!? It's still the lord's heart! ”

Gan Ning and Xu Shu were overjoyed, and just wanted to unscrew the lid, Deng Ai calmly stopped: "Although the battle situation is decided, please also ask the two of you to take an appropriate amount in case of accidents." When he really captured Guiyang and had a feast in the palace, the kid would never say a word. ”

Xu Shu nodded appreciatively, bumped Gan Ning with his shoulder, and raised three fingers and said, "Three!" Drinking more than half a sip is a great trust from the Lord. ”

"Okay! Just what the doctor ordered! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared again!

Gan Ning scared Zhao Fan for two days, and on the third day, Zhao Fan really couldn't stand it anymore. Over there, Gan Ning had just shouted out that he wanted Zhao Fan to open the city and surrender, but here Zhao Fan was relieved, and hurriedly went to the government to get the seal, and then rushed back to open the city gate, and went out of the city to surrender with the seal.

Next, Gan Ning was responsible for the surrender of the soldiers, and Xu Shu was responsible for government affairs, each with its own division of labor. However, Xu Shu remembered Lu Ren's instructions and asked Zhao Fan to take his brother and sister-in-law out to see if they were beauties. Even if Zhao Fan was reluctant, he had no choice but to lead Xu Shu to meet him, who let his life be in the hands of others?

When he saw it, Xu Shu was also surprised. This Fan is only twenty-three or four years old, and he is really born with a national color and natural fragrance, and in terms of appearance and temperament, he may only be slightly inferior to the beauties of Mi Zhen and Zhao Yu, but if it is to dress up according to the style of Yizhou women...... Hey! Anyway, at this time, Xu Shu tilted his head, squinted his eyes and brushed his beard, and anyone could see what the hell he was doing.

Zhao Fan on one side is now a bitter gourd face. For a beauty like Fan, it would be a lie to say that Zhao Fan had never been moved, but Zhao Fan was forced by etiquette and was relatively timid, so he never dared to make any moves. Now that he has become a prisoner, Xu Shu over there has a sinister look on his face, and he can't help but think in his heart: "What should I do now?" I once promised my sister-in-law that I would find a man for her to remarry. But now...... Alas! ”

Seeing that Xu Shu began to move around, Zhao Fan really had no way at all, the only thing he hoped for was that Xu Shu would not kill him if they got someone. However, Xu Shu just saluted after walking in front of Fan: "Madam is frightened." Please rest assured, my Yizhou soldiers will never do anything to rob men and women. If you dare to see it, there is a reason for it. ”

Fan glanced at Xu Shu calmly and said, "Becoming a king and defeating a king is a common practice in ancient times. Now that he has become a bird, what can he do with his concubine? Mr. Xu treats him so politely, he really doesn't dare to be a concubine, but he doesn't know what Mr. Xu wants to do with his concubine? (To be continued.) )
