This controversy is now no longer a question of who is right and who is wrong, but a question of the positions of the respective representatives. If the people of the Pen %Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Restoration Society and Donglin are defeated, then their faces will be lost. Moreover, Donglin's prestige in Jiangnan will also be greatly weakened, and he will even face the embarrassing situation pointed out by Qianfu, this result is obviously unacceptable to Hou Fangyu, Chen Zilong, Mao Bijiang and others. So they had to defeat Liu Fan, so that everything they attacked Liu Fan could stand.

Hou Fangyu, who had the hottest temper and had the deepest hatred with Liu Fan, suddenly couldn't help it, stepped forward and came to Liu Fan again, and shouted angrily, "We don't know how to govern the country, but do you understand it with just a martial artist?" Liu Fan, what is your intention to wantonly slander my Jiangnan students? ”

Liu Fan glanced at Hou Fangyu disdainfully and said, "This governor naturally knows more than you, since his debut, he has started from a small general manager until now he has become the chief soldier of Shandong, and all of this is obtained by this governor step by step." From less than 500 people at the beginning of the founding of the army, it has grown to more than 20,000 people in just three years, and in these three years, the governor has not used a grain of grain and grass or a tael of silver from the imperial court, and has fed 20,000 troops just by relying on the land of Jiaozhou. And also make the people of Jiaozhou live and work in peace and contentment, if it is about governing the place, the governor thinks that he is second, and no one dares to call the first in this world! ”

Liu Fan's tone was full of strong self-confidence, as a traverser, there is indeed no one in the world who is better at making money and training soldiers than him, so Liu Fan has enough confidence to be proud of his "achievements".

As soon as Liu Fan said this, the people who knew some of Liu Fan's details of the restoration society suddenly fell silent, even if they were unwilling to admit it, they knew that what Liu Fan said was the truth. Those students who did not belong to Donglin, seeing Liu Fan's words and no one objected, also believed that what Liu Fan said was true. Even Xu Wenjue, who was familiar with Liu Fan, couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for him when he heard Liu Fan's words. Even Liu Rushi, who has always been an "audience", looked at Liu Fan, who was majestic in the field, and his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.

After gritting his teeth and thinking for a long time, Hou Fangyu finally found the loophole between Liu Fan's words, and questioned loudly, "As far as Hou knows, the soldiers under the command of my Ming General Army are only three or two thousand at most!" Why do you, Liu Fan, sit on an army of 20,000 as a general soldier? Doesn't that say a lot about your wolf ambitions? If you are really loyal to the monarch and patriotic country, why do you openly violate the decrees of the imperial court and expand the army privately? I see that you clearly want to support the army and be a warlord! ”

"Uh" Although what Hou Fangyu said was true, Liu Fan would never admit it. After thinking about it carefully, Liu Fan immediately retorted, "May I ask Hou Gongzi, are you the chief military officer or the governor?" The strength of my Ming commander-in-chief is also strong and weak, can the general army in the south be compared with the border in the north? When Qi Dashuai was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, the size of Qi's army was at least about 30,000 people. Jumping to conclusions without understanding only shows your ignorance. ”

After a pause, Liu Fan looked around at everyone and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Since the end of the fourth year of Chongzhen, this governor was ordered to go to Shandong by the imperial decree of His Majesty, and my army has been fighting for the country, throwing their heads and spilling blood, just to protect the safety of the people in the world!" Kong Youde rebelled, and Ben Du personally led less than 500 men to defeat the rebels' more than 1,000 powerful cavalry, and then held the city of Laizhou for two months under the siege of tens of thousands of rebels. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the governor led 3,000 people to conquer the provinces of Henan, defeated the 36 battalions of thieves led by Zhang Xianzhong, and captured more than 60,000 enemies. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, our department went out to the Central Plains, turned to March, and defeated the 150,000 allied troops of the thieves with 6,000 and 4,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion in the Carriage Gorge, and captured the enemy's leader "Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang" and captured the prisoner in Beijing. In the past four years, how many soldiers have sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty? If this is also a wolf's ambition and self-respect, then the governor has nothing to say! ”

"Good! The captivity of the army shocked the world, and the merit of helping the people is enough to shine in the annals of history! If this is also a wolf's ambition, I, Xu Wenjue, am the first to disagree! Xu Wenjue took the case and praised loudly, and his anger was beyond words. Liu Ru next to him also had bright eyes, looked at Liu Fanjiao with a little admiration, and praised, "General Liu has made outstanding achievements, and he can be called a "hero"!" ”

Taking advantage of the gap of everyone's "intimidation", Liu Fan continued to clear his name: "You say that Bendu is a "traitor", then Bendu wants to ask you, has Bendu killed that Zhongliang?" The Governor asked himself, if you are worthy of the trust of Your Majesty and the trust of the people, and that you have never harmed any loyal person as an official, why do you keep calling the Governor a "traitor"? ”

"Haven't you ever harmed Zhongliang?" Hou Fangyu immediately stopped doing it when he heard this, as Liu Fan's biggest "victim" of killing Zhongliang, Hou Fangyu shouted angrily and asked loudly, "How do you explain the matter of Wu Jungong?" The matter of my father, Hou Shangshu. Who doesn't know today? Liu Fan, do you dare to say that you didn't do it? ”

"Yes, it's me!" Liu Fan replied with disdain: "But what about that?" Wu Weiye and Hou Sui are completely to blame! Wu Weiye had a poor character, connived at the domestic servants to bully the woman of the governor, and even beat a weak woman on the street regardless of his identity. What is wrong with Bendo, as a man, to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth? ”

"Okay, well, Wu Weiye's matter is not here, and we can't confront it in court, and we will reveal it for the time being! But you can't deny the matter of my father's marquis! He is an old man, an honest official, upright and honest, loyal and dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and conscientious all his life, but he was framed by you Liu Fan and was demoted and returned to his hometown, isn't this considered a cruelty to Zhongliang? Hou Fangyu has reason to be angry, Liu Fan's harm to his father has always been Hou Fangyu's biggest "pain", and now that Liu Fan has denied it, how can Hou Fangyu give up?

"Hou Sui?" Liu Fan tilted his head and thought about it, and then "suddenly realized" that "this old guy is dismissed, it's none of the governor's business, that old guy framed me in court, and the governor hasn't asked him for revenge!" Besides, it was your majesty who removed him, so what did it have to do with the governor? It's just Your Majesty's kindness, otherwise the Governor would have cut this old thing with a thousand knives! Where can he still be honored to this day? ”

"Thief Ann dares to insult me!?" Liu Fan mouthed an "old guy" and an "old thing", and said that he would cut Hou Sui with a thousand knives, how could Hou Fangyu, as a son of man, sit idly by. Hou Fangyu, who was furious, was about to pounce on him and fight with Liu Fan...

"Brother Hou, don't be impulsive!" Chen Zilong, who was beside him, braved the frontier and desperately pulled Hou Fangyu. If a powerless scholar wants to fight with a "fierce martial artist" who kills people without blinking, it is obviously not an advantage.

The two hurriedly comforted, "Brother Hou, don't be fooled, this person is obviously deliberately provoking you to get rid of the unfavorable situation of being unable to argue." Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Hou Gong's personality is obvious to all, how can he be slandered by a small martial artist? ”
