Chapter 285 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Jingzhou Chapter 4

Chapter 285 Zhao Fan Qiaoyu said that he was too guarded, and Shizhen eliminated the evil bureaucrats with an iron fist

In the above book, we talked about the eldest son, Liu Qi, who secretly passed on the book and asked Zhao Fan, who had been lurking in the city, to lobby Shizhen.

This Zhao Fan can also be regarded as one of the best debaters under Liu Biao, who can speak well and speak skillfully.

Not only that, but Zhao Fan has someone in the court.

Who?

Zhi Jinwu, Zhenxi general Zhao Yun.

There is such a description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms:

The first lord was Pingjiangnan, and Zhao Yun attacked Guiyang. The generals Chen Ying and Bao Long wanted to fight, but Fan did not allow it. Fan's widow's sister-in-law said that Fan's family has national colors, and Fan wants to match the clouds. Yun is not allowed, Fan has the intention of harming each other, and Yun defeats Fan and leaves. Hou Ying, Longyin wants to kill Yun, Yun Jue, and behead it. Yun Earn opens the city gate and captures Fan. After Zhuge Liang released it, his life was still Guiyang Taishou.

Actually, that's not the case.

Zhao Fan is the brother of Zhao Yun's distant family. Since Liu Qi entered Xuzhou Province, Zhao Fan was able to meet Zhao Yun, thus identifying the clan relatives and starting to communicate.

After receiving Liu Qi's arrangement, Zhao Fan also received Zhao Yun's entrustment and learned about the intention of the Son of Heaven.

That's why he has the courage to speak up to Shizhen.

When Zhao Fan finished speaking, Shixin actually set off a huge wave in his heart.

The Son of Heaven had no intention of exterminating the scholars, so what was his intention?

If a trace of the family's blood can be passed on, what does it mean for a family?

What's more, can the Son of Heaven tolerate the sins committed by Shi Xie?

He didn't dare to bet!

"What Shi Xie and Shi Yi did is a great rebellion, and Your Majesty will really not be held accountable?" Shi Zhen's eyes were full of suspicion and looked at Zhao Fan, and he asked unrelentingly, "You are just a person in Jingzhou who is engaged in Langzhong, how can you know about this matter?" ”

"Haha!" Hearing this, Zhao Fan smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "It's true that I'm just a person in Jingzhou who is engaged in Langzhong, but do you know who Fan's brother is?" ”

"Your brother?"

"Not bad. To tell the truth, the next cousin is the ruling Jinwu in front of His Majesty's Palace, Zhenxi General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. Zhao Fan raised his head high and said very arrogantly.

"Huh?! It turns out that there are people in the court! ”

"My lord, this news was sent to me by General Zilong." Zhao Fan looked at Shi Zhen and did not finish his words.

Shizhen is not without a city, how can he easily believe it? After all, there are hundreds of scholars behind him and the people in Jiuzhen City. He looked at Zhao Fan, still suspicious, and suddenly said, "Don't say that I don't know what Your Majesty will do with my family!" Just now that the brothers Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin in Jiuzhen City are here, I'm afraid it won't be easy to operate if we surrender to Cheng! ”

At this point, he throws the ball.

In this regard, he has his concerns and intentions. First, he needs Liu Qi to tell him personally whether there is a living mouth in the Holy Lord's oracle. Or Zhao Fan was able to tell himself the content of the Holy Lord's edict. Second, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin are in the city, and if they want to surrender, they must go out. He wants to be able to increase his value.

Zhao Fan is a smart person, and he knew Shizhen's intentions as soon as he heard it.

He smiled and said, "It seems that the adults are still not at ease. In fact, yesterday General Zhichong had already sent someone in and told me the Holy Lord's message. Moreover, an envoy of the Holy Lord was also sent. ”

Some people say that Yuan Ba didn't leave anyone to be Liu Qi's envoy at the beginning?!

Don't guess this.

These are all Zhao Fan's methods.

He also knew that he was soft-spoken, but he was afraid that the priest would not believe it, so he specially selected a person from his retinue last night and asked him to pretend to be an angel to convey the holy message.

At that time, the news was blocked, and it was difficult for people to come and go. However, that man just believes in this envoy, that envoy!

So, when the envoy appeared, Shizhen believed it.

It is precisely because of this time that Shizhen preserved the bloodline of the Shi family, and left a foundation for the Shi family in Jiaozhou.

Zhao Fan asked, "My lord, how many officials in your city support peace?" ”

"Judging from today's deliberations in front of the court, more than sixty percent of officials are willing to sue for peace! But you can rest assured. Except for the Zhang brothers, the officials in the city still do things according to my wishes! Shi Zhen's face showed a hint of relief.

"Then why don't you just get rid of these two people?" Zhao Fan thought that it was a very simple thing to go out to Zhangyu and Zhangjin.

Hearing this, Shi Zhen's face became gloomy again: "These two are the fierce generals in front of Shi Yi!" If it had been yesterday, it might have been easier, but today I have assigned him another thousand axemen. With fifteen hundred soldiers in their hands, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the nearly 7,000 men under my command to get them out! ”

"How powerful are they?" Zhao Fan asked puzzled.

Shi Zhen glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Is it powerful, you will know when you go out of the city and ask your general Zhichong!" ”

"What then?"

"It's okay! Today they agreed on the battlefield that they would fight with your Li Yan tomorrow. Tomorrow, after their brothers leave the city, I will arrange for Li Duwei to send someone to kill the city gate officials and prevent them from entering. All you have to do is defeat them. If they are defeated and flee back to the city, I will send the archers to take them. "Shi Zhen had already thought of a plan.

Zhao Fan didn't have a good trick, so he agreed, and rushed out of the city overnight to see Liu Qi.

Seeing Liu Qi, General Zhao Fan really reported everything.

"Does Shizhen really mean to surrender? There won't be a fake? Liu Qi asked.

Zhao Fan nodded and replied, "He has already learned that Zhou Yu's army is approaching Jiaozhi. In order to keep their Shi family's lineage, he naturally had to give it a go! If they were also captured by Soochow, I am afraid they would all be slaughtered! I pretended to use the Holy Lord's message to convince him that His Majesty would keep them after he surrendered. ”

"But His Majesty didn't say that?!" Hearing this, Liu Qi hurriedly asked.

Zhao Fan smiled and explained: "The general has been in front of His Majesty for a long time, doesn't he know what His Majesty is like?" Your Majesty is merciful and has the world in mind, how can he kill them all? What's more, Shizhen is not a direct descendant of the Shi family, nor is he the mastermind of the rebellion, but he was coerced by others to join in! Such a person, on the verge of rebellion, abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, if the general says a few more beautiful words in front of His Majesty, wouldn't it be the beauty of an adult? ”

Yin Ji also said: "This is true. If the son is afraid that it will be difficult to do, it is better to ask Lord Zhuge once! ”

"That way, it's okay." Liu Qi nodded and ordered: "It's not early, let's all go and rest!" Get ready for tomorrow! ”

"No!" And they went down to rest.

Next.

On the pole, Liu Qi sat down in the big tent of the Chinese army.

The generals had been waiting for a long time.

"In today's battle, I hope that all the generals will act according to the plan and make no mistakes!"

"No!"

"Li Yan and Li Qi, two generals, you lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to the front of the city to fight, and invite the brothers Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin to fight."

"The last will be ordered!" Li Yan and Li Qi took the order and left.

"Pang Ji and Zhang Duo, the two generals, each of you will lead a thousand people to lie on the two wings, and when the two generals Li Yan and Li Qi hand over, they will rush to kill the flanks of the Zhang brothers!"

"The last will be ordered!" The two of them also went down to prepare.

……

Knowing that Li Yan came to fight again, the brothers Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin received the general order again and ordered their troops out.

Looking at the figures of the two who disappeared at the door, Shi Zhen sneered: "Hmph! What else do you have besides relying on Shi Yi? I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight! ”

Hearing this, Captain Li looked at his chief officer curiously.

Seeing Li Duwei's surprised face, Shi Zhen quickly pinched his face, and then beckoned Li Duwei to his side, lowered his voice, and said what he was going to do.

Li Duwei was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed repeatedly......

"Do you know what to do next?" Shi Zhen asked Li Duwei.

"Huh? …… What the? Li Duwei was still in shock and did not come to his senses.

Shi Zhen glared, lowered his voice and said, "You quickly send someone to guard the city gate, and send the archers to the city." Once the Chang brothers return to the city, you have the archers shoot them! ”

"Do you really plan to surrender?"

"What if you don't surrender? Do you really want to go all the way to the dark with the Shiyi, then our Shijia will not only perish, but will disappear completely! I can't control them, but I can do something for the family! Shizhen sighed and said.

"Good! Now that the adults have made up their minds, I'll arrange it! Li Duwei said, glanced back at the officials under the hall, and returned to Shizhen's ear and asked in a low voice, "What should they do?" ”

"It's okay with them, you just need to send someone to take care of the outside. If they can't get out, naturally nothing will happen! I'll be back in the backyard in a moment! "Shizhen has already arranged things.

In this way, Li Duwei took people to arm the defense.

Besides, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin came to the front of the battle.

Li Yan didn't say a word, slapped his horse out, and waved his gun to take Zhang Yu.

Yesterday's battle was not clear, and Changyu's fighting spirit was still there, and he was not ambiguous, and he waved his knife to meet him.

The two fought thirty or fifty rounds.

Li Qi raised the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead and rushed over with two thousand soldiers.

Well, it's time to charge!

"Whole army, kill me!" Zhang Jin also led the soldiers to kill.

Seeing that the two armies were about to hand over, suddenly two artillery shots were heard on both sides, and then a burst of shouts of killing came from both wings.

I saw that Pang Ji and Zhang Duo also led soldiers and horses to kill.

Zhang Jin was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted to Zhang Yu: "Brother, the enemy army is deceitful, retreat quickly!" "After speaking, retreat first.

Zhang Yu, who was in the battle, peeked at it, and was also scared into a cold sweat, so he quickly made a false move, turned his horse and fled.

The soldiers followed, fleeing.

Soon, they fled to the front of the city. But the gates were not opened, but all the archers of the city raised their bows and arrows. Zhang Jin and Zhang Yu thought that the pursuers behind were chasing closely, and the soldiers in the city wanted to shoot back the pursuers, but they didn't care, and shouted under the city: "We have been attacked by the enemy!" Hurry up and open the city! ”

Lieutenant Li in the city agreed: "You wait a while, the enemy army behind is chasing too closely!" ”

After a pause, I heard him shout, "Shoot the arrows!" ”
