Chapter 336: Liu Fan

Due to the curfew, last night, no one saw the Jingzhou army leaving, only a few residents at the gate of the east city faintly heard some footsteps, but they didn't dare to push out the door to see what was going on.

As for where the Jingzhou army went, no one knows, Shangyong is surrounded by mountains, although it is not precipitous, but it is also endless, since the Jingzhou army has the intention to disappear, as long as it hides in the mountains, who can find it in a short time?

The sudden disappearance of the Jingzhou army also caught Zhang Wei a little off guard, he had already gotten the news that Liu Fan was rushing here with an army of 5,000 people, and he originally wanted to drag the Jingzhou army, cooperate with Liu Fan, and make a great contribution to redeem the responsibility of losing the city, but he didn't expect the Jingzhou army to disappear suddenly, and without warning.

After Shangyong Chengnei was not dismissed, and the remaining officials were sent out to patrol the streets to maintain law and order, Zhang Wei immediately began to inquire about the direction in which the Jingzhou army left and where it was now.

Everyone put their eyes on Shangyong, speculating where the Jingzhou army was hiding, and under inertial thinking, it was Zhang Wei, a military general who had led the troops, who also set his eyes on the outside of the city.

But no one would think about whether there was still a Jingzhou army in the city.

On the morning of the second day when the Jingzhou army withdrew from Shangyong, Shangyong ushered in another army, which was led by Liu Fan.

It was his own people who came, and Zhang Wei personally went to greet him, obviously, there would be no danger at all, since there was no danger, then, there would naturally be no fewer people to see the excitement.

Moreover, many of the people were blind, and when they saw that the leader of the army was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been preached for a long time, they began to cheer.

After all, Shangyong belongs to Hanzhong, these people still have a sense of belonging, and their own bigwigs came to the rescue with soldiers and horses, so they will feel gratified.

Seeing Zhang Wei personally come to greet him, and the people of Shangyong still welcomed him like this, Liu Fan was suddenly stunned by the huge sense of accomplishment in recovering the city.

Although Liu Fan had already learned from the people sent by Zhang Wei that the Jingzhou army that occupied Shangyong had fled, how could there be no credit for this? If he hadn't gathered a large army and led the army here, those Jingzhou thieves would not have scattered in a hurry!

Finally, Liu Fan crossed the street where the crowd gathered and followed Zhang Wei to the county office.

After entering the county office, Liu Fan was still silent in the cheers on the street, this was the first time he faced such a situation, it was too exciting, even if Liu Fan had experienced a lot of big scenes, and every time he accepted the reverent gaze of others, but this feeling of tens of millions of people looking up together was completely different from the flattery of those officials...... It made Liu Fan feel even more intoxicated.

For Zhang Wei, although Liu Fan doesn't care, he can't blame him too much, after all, he is still Zhang Lu's younger brother, and Zhang Lu controls the safety of Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is also the gateway to Yizhou, and there is no room for error.

Although Liu Fan is not very proficient in military affairs, he can be regarded as a good hand in politics, and Liu Fan will not fall out with Zhang Wei for no reason.

"Zhang County's order, where did the Jingzhou army withdraw?" Liu Fan's tone was also gentle.

"Back to Your Highness...... I really don't know. Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know?" Liu Fan looked at Zhang Wei with something strange in his eyes.

The Jingzhou army withdrew, how could you not know? And at the moment, it seems that Shangyong has not lost much, can he make the Jingzhou army disappear from under his nose? Or, Zhang Wei......

When Zhang Wei saw Liu Fan's eyes, he knew what Liu Fan was thinking.

After all, Zhang Wei can be regarded as an old fritter......

"Your Highness, I really don't know where the Jingzhou army is now. As soon as the Jingzhou army occupied Shangyong, it began a curfew, and no one was allowed to move around at night, and they withdrew in the middle of the night, and no one saw them withdraw, but a few people at the east gate heard the sound of their withdrawal. However, even if we knew that the Jingzhou army had withdrawn from the East City Gate, it would be of no use in the slightest, knowing that there were endless mountains all around, and it was easy to hide one or two thousand people. ”

"Then do you want to let these Jingzhou soldiers leave like this? If the enemy can occupy our city and withdraw unharmed, then what will be the majesty of our Han in the future! Liu Fan said with some displeasure.

"The majesty of the Great Han? Does the majesty of the Han have anything to do with your father and son? If it weren't for your father and son, would the Han have fallen back to this point? Zhang Wei criticized in his heart, of course, he would never dare to say so.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Jingzhou army has not withdrawn far, and there is no trace of them on the road, and I am already recalling those dismissed soldiers, presumably they should be able to find some clues. Just give me some time and I'll definitely be able to find them. Zhang Wei's tone was very affirmative, full of confidence, or rather, he was very confident in the dismissed soldiers.

Although these soldiers are not very elite in battle, most of them are from Orion, and the surrounding mountains are mountainous, and they have practiced a good skill since childhood, as long as they can gather their subordinates back, it is easy to find the Jingzhou army.

"In this case, it seems that we can only stay in Shangyong for the time being, waiting for news." Liu Fan sighed, but half of the offensive credit in his hand was missing, which was enough to make him lose it. Although Liu Fan's status and great credit are useless, he just wants to enjoy this pleasure.

When it was ugly, it was the most fragrant time for people to sleep, except for the sergeants standing guard and the guards walking back and forth on the city wall, the Hanzhong miscellaneous soldiers led by Liu Fan had already fallen asleep.

But at this time, in a small courtyard in Shangyong City, the gate was suddenly opened, two people who looked like Shangyong officials walked out of the courtyard, observed around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one, they waved their hands to the small courtyard, and soon, more than 100 people came out of the small courtyard, divided into three parts, one of which dispersed to other places, and the other two patrolled to the west of Shangyong.

"Hey, who are you!" At the gate of the city, there were four sergeants guarding it, but of the four, only one was still awake, and the other three had already fallen asleep against the heavy gate, and the question was given by the only sergeant who was still awake.

With this person's questioning, several figures also appeared on the head of the city, and they all looked down the city.

"We were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inspect and see if there was any situation." Five or six men dressed in the uniforms of Hanzhong County said as they approached.

Seeing that the few people who came were wearing their own clothes, the gate guard was obviously relieved, and the few people standing guard at the top of the city also withdrew their heads and continued to sit against the city wall and laugh.

"Jingzhou guys are all gone, what else will happen? It's the middle of the night, alas......"

"Indeed...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too careful...... "The sergeant guarding the door also complained as if he had found a common language.

He didn't have the slightest suspicion about these patrols.

But it was this negligence that was enough to send him to hell.

When he walked up to the sergeant, the sergeants who had come to inspect suddenly covered his mouth and slit his throat with daggers, and the other three who were sleeping soundly followed him to the underworld.

"It's out of the water!"

"It's out of the water!"

There are many places in Shangyong City that are on fire at the same time, and there are many places where new fires are constantly appearing.

"Oh no, Your Royal Highness the Prince, there's a fire in the city." One of Liu Fan's entourage rushed into the room to report.

"Fire? What's all the fuss about. Liu Fan reluctantly opened his eyes and said impatiently.

"A lot of the city is on fire, and it's already starting to be chaotic." Qin Sui hurriedly said.

"A lot of places?" Liu Fan didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he hurriedly opened the door and came to the small courtyard, at this time, the city was already full of screams, and the fire in some places had already reflected half the sky.
