Chapter 9 A Chance Encounter with Fan

"See the young master." Liao Hua bowed, and Zhang Quan nodded.

"This, this, what's going on?" Zhao Fan, who was held by Zhou Canghu'er, said panickedly.

"City Lord Zhao, this matter is also very simple to say, that is, your Guiyang City was taken by me Zhang Quan." Zhang Quan said.

"You, if you don't take the city according to the proper way, the soldiers under my city will rebel." Zhao Fan said incoherently.

"Soldiers, treacherous. I was benevolent and could not bear the casualties of soldiers on both sides in the siege, so I used this strategy. Please ask Mr. Zhao to imagine the situation in Guiyang today, where you are under house arrest in the city lord's mansion; One of your generals is seriously wounded and fainted, the other is paralyzed in bed, and your three newly appointed generals are stabilizing the situation in the city, you say, what will the soldiers rebel against? Zhang Quan looked directly into Zhao Fan's eyes and said.

"Ah, conspiracy, conspiracy." Only then did he remember that Zhang Quan, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Hu Che'er had only appeared in Guiyang City today, but he himself did not take precautions and gave him heavy power.

In fact, before Zhang Quan came to Guiyang City, he just thought that Zhao Yun and his party of four would cooperate with Liao Huali and Waiwai, who was besieging the city, and really didn't think of such a big conspiracy - to injure Baolong Chen Ying and let Zhao Yun Zhou Cang Hu Che'er take power, so that the soldiers in the city would not rebel after Zhao Fan was placed under house arrest.

But it seems that my actions themselves will form a conspiracy, alas, there is no way. Zhang Quan sighed in his heart.

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. Guiyang City has been taken by you, what are you still holding me for. Yes. Zhao Fan stopped screaming, and he suddenly burst out with a burst of ruthlessness. In the end, it was the dragon bloodline, and with a roar of anger, it seemed that hundreds of noisy bats flew out of their mouths and raged in the air, making Zhang Quan, who had no dragon blood and was defenseless, throbbing in his heart.

"Zhou Canghu Che'er obeys the order." Zhang Quan said.

"Yes."

"Let go of Mr. Zhao, go to the barracks and the city gate to calm the Guiyang soldiers, and let our five thousand Tuntian soldiers go to the Guiyang arsenal to put on armor and weapons, and prepare to send troops to attack the three counties of Changsha, Wuling, and Lingling. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Zhou Canghu Che'er responded loudly.

"Also, carry Bao Long and Chen Ying to the City Lord's Mansion, saying that City Lord Zhao cares for them and wants them to recuperate in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Yes."

"Okay, you guys go. General Liao go to guard outside the gate, I have something to say to City Lord Zhao. Zhang Quan said.

"Yes."

Zhang Quan and Zhao Fan were left in the house, the sky was already dark, but the house did not have time to light the lamp, the miserable white moonlight, shining on the smoke of firewood and grass (blown in after the city gate set fire) in the house, like a fairyland.

Zhao Fan looked at the young man in front of him, and his eyebrows were still childish, but this young man took Guiyang City, which he had guarded and developed for many years, in one day without a single soldier, and swore that he would attack the three counties with 5,000 Tuntian soldiers. That's three county towns, not ordinary small county towns. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel ashamed, helpless, and bitter.

"Sit, sir." Zhang Quan pointed to the empty guest seat, Zhao Fan didn't say anything, sat down, and then Zhang Quan sat down on the guest seat opposite him.

Looking directly into his eyes intertwined with various thoughts, he said, "Sir, how does the widow think the widow compares to Liu Biao?" ”

"Huh?!" Zhao Fan was stunned when he heard Zhang Quan call himself a widow, but after thinking about it, this young man had already captured Guiyang City, and a country in the Zhou Dynasty was only the size of a county town, and a county town independent of the huge Great Khan Empire was enough to call the south lonely.

"The talent of the honorable is far beyond Liu Biao, who won the entire Jingzhou with only a paper edict when he was young, but now Liu Biao is getting older and more self-contained and unenterprising."

"Does that gentleman think that the widow will take your position as the lord of Guiyang City?"

"With the courage of the five thousand Tuntian soldiers to seek the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, I want to come to the world. If Zhao is loyal to the Emperor, the Emperor will probably return the position of the Lord of Guiyang City to me. There was indifferent helplessness in his tone.

"What is the gentleman's plan?"

"The talent and character of the honorable are ten times that of Liu Biao, if Zhao is still dressed in white, he will definitely be effective. However, Zhao and his brother who had just passed away had been taken care of by the lord for many years, and they were fortunate to read a few more sentences of the book of Confucius and Mencius, and the reason why the virtuous minister did not serve the two masters was still known. ”

"Sir, did you mistake the meaning of the virtuous minister not serving the second master?" Zhang Quan replied to Zhao Fan with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Fan said in surprise.

"The virtuous minister is not the second master, which means that the strategist does not give advice to the two lords at the same time, and the refutation is the villain who is two-faced and cannibalistic. And now that Mr. is in a situation where he has been captured and can no longer serve Liu Biao, how can he serve the second master? ”

"Why, how can you say that."

"Besides, does Mr. dare to believe that within three years, Liu Biao will die at the hands of widows. Life is as short as a fallen leaf floating in the air, so why let it fall without a trace? Zhang Quan paused, "Okay, it's not early, Mr. Zhao has to prepare a few more guest rooms tonight." Then he shouted to Liao Hua outside the door, "General Liao Hua," Liao Hua opened the door and stood at the door, "Let Mr. Zhao take you to prepare a few guest rooms." Without waiting for Zhao Fan to say anything, he waved his hand and asked Liao Hua to take Zhao Fan away.

Standing on the threshold outside the house, Zhang Quan looked up at the starry sky at forty-five degrees, the bright stars carved a handsome compass, and suddenly remembered the polluted invisible night sky before the crossing, the lights of the Guiyang people under the city lord's mansion were still on, and the stars in the sky were also flashing to accompany him. It's just that all of a sudden, my eyes are moist, and a kind of depression lingers in my heart, which is the feeling of loneliness.

There was a commotion behind him, and Zhang Quan looked back, and a woman in plain clothes approached briskly and bowed. Liao Hua and Zhao Fan followed closely behind her, trying to stop her, but she broke free.

"The folk girl took the liberty of being rude and disturbed, but her husband was newly deceased, and she couldn't bear to entertain the guests, so she invited the adults to stay elsewhere." Fan Shi uttered a curling and decisive voice. She is dressed in mourning clothes, in the middle of winter, the thick cotton clothes cover her proud figure, the lips on the face of the melon seeds show a faint pink, and the smooth eyes like a mirror can't hide the gentleness and virtue; The picturesque face exudes this alluring charm, but at this moment it is like a delicate mirror, fragile and shattered.

Fan, Zhao Fan's brother and wife, 25 years old, is in the most beautiful years of a woman, and was implicated in the murder of Zhao Yun by Zhao Fan and others in the romance.

"A woman of median dragon blood." Zhang Quan muttered. Zhang Quan looked at Fan's family, and couldn't help but think of the previous life, he was greedy for women to die by himself, and couldn't help laughing; In the campus of the previous life, there would not be such "vexatiousness".

Zhang Quan said: "You are Fan's." There was naturally sorrow in the faint words.

"Yes." Fan was not surprised that Zhang Quan knew her name.

Zhang Quan's gaze crossed the Fan clan and said to Liao Hua and Zhao Fan behind her: "You all go down, it is enough to have the Fan clan to serve the widow." ”

"Yes." Liao Hua and Zhao Fan replied.

Fan Shi looked at Zhang Quan's gaze, suddenly became afraid and cautious, took a step back, and said, "My lord, the posture of the people's daughter Puliu is not enough to serve your lord; And the concubine and husband are newly dead, and they still have decay on their bodies. ”

"Do you still miss him?" Zhang Quan stepped forward.

Fan was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"The shoulder can be borrowed from you." Zhang Quan stepped forward and hugged her.

After a period of intense struggle, Fan suddenly lay on Zhang Quan's shoulder, howling and crying, saying that he was crying, but in fact the tears had dried up, Zhang Quan thought in a trance that the fate of famous women in this era was not very good: Cai Wenji was abducted by the Huns and humiliated; Diao Chan dedicated himself to Dong Zhuo Lu Bu and was nowhere to be found; Sun Shangxiang is involved in a political marriage; Huang Yueying has been away from her hometown for many years and has not returned; Zhen Mi encountered Yuan Xi, Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, and died of depression; Zhang Chunhua was scolded by Sima Yi as "hateful".
