Several fast horses galloped into Wancheng in the night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How is that possible!" Fan Chong slapped the table hard, and the news from Shandong just now shocked him.
"Big brother! Isn't that obvious! Then Liu Xuan can't tolerate our Red Eyebrow Army at all! ”
"That's right! It's too deceitful, fight with them! The generals were also indignant.
At this time, Fan Chong had already calmed down, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "No, I think something is wrong!" ”
"First of all, we have not opposed the imperial court, and we have opened the border, although we deliberately delay the reorganization, but at least we have made a gesture of goodwill, and it is not beneficial to attack us in this situation."
"In addition, if Liu Xuan really wants to be unfavorable to us, why are we still safe and sound now? Looking at Wang Kuang's attitude, it doesn't look like a fake. ”
"But the news is very clear, that cavalry is indeed under the banner of the beginning, two cities in one day, and nearly a thousand of my red-eyed soldiers, if it weren't for the Green Forest Army, I really can't think of that army with such combat effectiveness." Feng An said.
"Indeed." Fan Chong's brows furrowed, "But judging from the news, this army is only two thousand people, even if the combat effectiveness is strong, but if you want to rely on this person to shake our foundation, it is impossible, if it is Liu Xuan's hand, it will definitely not be only these soldiers and horses." ”
"What does big brother mean?"
"Send the news back, let them stay in the city, don't act rashly, first touch the situation of that army and then make plans, we will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and see Liu Xuan's reaction first!"
"But if it's really the court's hand, won't we have to go and never return?" Feng An worried.
"So now let's go to that Wang Kuang first and see his attitude, no matter what, he recommended us to the court."
"Don't mess with yourself at this time, otherwise everything will be wasted!"
Fan Chong made up his mind and rushed to Dingguo Mansion with all the generals.
In the palace at this time, Liu Xuan rarely did not drink and have fun in the harem, he stood in the side hall with an angry face, angry at the ministers below.
"Do these Red Eyebrow soldiers want to rebel! I've given them a promotion! I don't know how to be satisfied! Do they want my world to fail! ”
"Your Majesty is angry! Those rebellious ministers and thieves took advantage of our unpreparedness, and although they took a few cities, as long as we sent a large army, we would definitely be able to drive them back. Li Song persuaded.
"Humph! I said earlier that these mud-legged people have no faith at all! Wang Kuang! What do you have to say! Liu Xuan said coldly.
"Your Majesty...... The minister didn't notice it for a while, and asked His Majesty to calm his anger! Wang Kuang could hear Liu Xuan's finger scolding Huai, didn't he all have the same green forest family as a peasant, but he didn't dare to be disobedient now, the Red Mei Army suddenly went out of Shandong, which caught him off guard, and he was still thinking about absorbing these troops, but now it seems that they are all hot potatoes!
"Ignorance or ulterior motives? Lord Wang himself understands in his heart, right? Zhao Meng really caught the fact that he recommended Fan Chong and fanned the flames on the side.
Wang Kuang couldn't wait to strangle this guy at this moment, he quickly knelt on the ground, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, the minister just wants to do his best for the court, and he doesn't think about it, now that Fan Chong and his party are still in the city, the minister can immediately arrest him to show his loyalty." ”
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Kun, who had not spoken before, spoke, "Thinking about it, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, so since Fan Chong is still in Wancheng, doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?" Even if you want to rebel, you don't need to risk yourself, right? ”
"Maybe these stupid people are stupid?" Li Song said disdainfully.
Liu Xuan's eyes were cold, he stared at Wang Kuang for a while, and then ordered: "No matter what the reason is, arrest me first!" Wang Kuang! You lead 300 internal guards to immediately search for Fan Chong and others, Li Song, Zhu Kun, you lead the city defense army to assist, you must not let them escape! ”
Wang Kuang's heart sank, Liu Xuan obviously didn't trust him, and only gave him three hundred internal guards, and the city defense army was probably also assisting and surveillance, as long as he made a mistake, I was afraid that he would die without a place to be buried.
He touched the fine sweat on his forehead and led the order out of the palace.
"Fan Chong, Fan Chong! You've made me miserable! "He has already made a murderous move, once Fan Chong is arrested, if he leaks his mouth, Li Song and his ilk will definitely take advantage of the topic, and I am afraid that his position will be difficult to protect at that time.
Fan Chong and the generals had already rushed to the outside of the Dingguo Mansion.
"Please inform King Biyang, even if Fan Chong has something important to ask to see!" He knocked at the door of the house.
"My family has not returned from the palace, please wait." The doorkeeper confessed.
Seeing that the door was closed, Fan Chong suddenly shouted badly, "Let's get out of the city quickly!" Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe of death! ”
"Huh? Didn't you just say that things hadn't been figured out yet, big brother? Why are you going out of town now? Feng An was puzzled.
"It's so late that Wang Kuang was recruited into the palace, it must be that the news of Shandong has also spread to the palace, and now it is estimated that soldiers and horses have been sent to find us!"
"Wouldn't it? In any case, we suffered a loss, could it really be that they did it? ”
"I've always thought something was wrong before, but now that I've finally guessed it, I'm afraid we've fallen into a divisive plan!" Fan Chong led everyone and ran to the city gate, saying as he ran.
"I think that since the other party can attack our city, he will definitely pretend to be the Red Eyebrow Army to attack the territory of the imperial court!"
"Then we just need to enter the palace to confront each other and we can explain it clearly, why do we still have to run!" Feng An said nervously.
"Liu Xuan is so suspicious, no matter what the truth is, we will not escape arrest, and in addition, in order to maintain his position, Wang Kuang will definitely break off the relationship with us and kill people! Because to some extent, the agreement we reached with Wang Kuang was not in the first place! This is simply a conspiracy! Even if we know the truth, we can't argue with it, so we can only escape! ”
Fan Chong quickened his pace again, "Who is so calculating to me?" He was puzzled and hated in his heart.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking wind came, and a powerful arrow flew past everyone, and Fan Chong looked back to see that Wang Kuang led hundreds of sergeants to catch up.
"Fan Chongmo, go!" There were shouts from behind.
"Run!" Where did Fan Chong dare to stay, the city gate was already close in front of him, and they used all their strength to feed.
The distance of 100 meters came in an instant, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city estimated that they had not yet received the news, and they were stunned for a while when they saw this group of people rushing over.
"I'm King Biyang! Stop them! Wang Kuang shouted in the back.
Before the soldiers guarding the door could react, Fan Chong and the others had already drawn their weapons.
"Kill!"
Caught off guard, several defenders went to hell in a blink of an eye, Fan Chong immediately divided a part of the people to push the door, and the rest of the people picked up the defenders' shields and formed a defensive line at the door.
"Fan Chong, you traitor, actually have ill intentions and plot to rebel! Don't hurry up and kill yourself! Wang Kuang quickly chased after the men and horses.
"Why does Lord Wang push people too much? Are you going to our agreement? Fan Chong frowned coldly.
"Kill me! Leave no mouth alive! Wang Kuang didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and hurriedly ordered, and the soldiers rushed up and rushed to the door.
