Chapter 315: The Incident in the River [Part II]

The generals also knew that Zhu Jian was accepted by Zhu Wen as a righteous son and changed his name, and everyone looked sideways and left and right, hey! There is really no Zhu Youqian's person, I can't help but be surprised. Xindao: This Zhu Youqian is too arrogant! Hugging Zhu Wen's thigh is your good luck and your ability, but the county official is not as good as taking care of it now, you offended Li Fan, be careful that Li Fan gives you small shoes to wear. Besides, you are so arrogant, it is still you Zhu Youqian who is at fault, I am afraid that you are Zhu Wen's righteous son, and Zhu Wen may not help you.

Righteous son and righteous son, there is righteousness to have a son, Zhu Wen and you have only known each other for a few days, where does love come from?

Li Fan's staff He Ziyun secretly screamed in his heart, although he persuaded Li Fan to occupy the interests this time, it did not mean that he hoped that Li Fan would turn against Zhu Youqian at this time. Although Li Fan has now absorbed Wang Heng's old troops, his soldiers and horses have been increased to 4,000, and he is also the most powerful tooth soldier in the Hezhong army. But for a long time, these tooth soldiers did not pay attention at all, it was impossible to fight to the death for Li Fan, and they could escape in the battle at any time, I am afraid that not only will not help, but will also shake the morale of the soldiers who fight resolutely. So in a short period of time, Zhu Youqian's strength is comparable to Li Fan, even if Li Fan wins, it will be a miserable victory, the best way is naturally after a period of time, at that time Li Fan also mastered the tooth soldiers, Zhu Youqian is still a grasshopper after the autumn even if he is arrogant, and he won't be able to jump for long.

He Ziyun walked out with an arrow step, and said with a smile to Zhu Youqian: "Maybe General Zhu is too tired and doesn't know if he sleeps." After all, there was a fight last night, and he rushed to Liang Wang Chitose without stopping, and now he will come back almost daytime. Let the subordinate go and inform General Zhu! How about this time, how about the festival commander? ”

He Ziyun didn't forget to give Li Fan a look when he spoke, Li Fan is not a stupid person, after a little thought, he knew that now was not the time to have a seizure. He nodded and said with a hypocritical smile: "Although Brother Deguang is wrong, it is also excusable, forget it this time!" ”

Li Fan's voice just fell. Suddenly, a soldier running all the way with an arrow stuck in his body rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army couldn't help but change their faces greatly, although they didn't know what was going on, but something big must have happened! The soldiers didn't care about saluting and looking at the rare scene of the general who was said to be high, and their faces changed greatly, and their extremely nervous voices suddenly exclaimed: "Zhu Jian rebels!" An army is coming! The soldiers outside have been killed! ”

"What!" When Li Fan heard this, he lost his voice, and he didn't know that the crutch in his hand had landed. Li Fan was not only surprised by Zhu Youqian's rebellion, but also frightened. Why be afraid?

Because of this similar coronation, Li Fan wanted to invite many generals to come, so naturally he could not arrange a large army to closely defend the Chinese army. Otherwise, who would dare to come? You dare to click even the knots, who knows if you will click us and swallow up our parts. Another reason is that the tooth soldiers didn't pay attention. Therefore, this time, Li Fansuo only used his old department to defend the entire inner camp, which inevitably seemed to be a little understaffed. There are only more than 1,300 people in the entire camp, and when Wang Heng is there, he usually needs 2,000 people to be armed, but you can imagine how reluctant and powerless the defense is now that there are only more than 1,300 people.

Now that Zhu Youqian came in, he really caught Li Fan off guard, although Zhu Youqian was superior to Li Fan in terms of troops, but don't forget that the combat effectiveness of the tooth soldiers was a few points higher than that of ordinary soldiers. But now Li Fan's soldiers and horses are scattered all over the inner camp, and when they are gathered, I am afraid that Li Fan will already be in a different place. Besides, with Zhu Youqian's concentrated soldiers and horses, I am afraid that Li Fan's tooth soldiers have already been divided.

"What to do!" Li Fan couldn't help but look at He Ziyun with expectant eyes, and now Li Fan, who was already panicked, could only hope that He Ziyun could give him an idea.

But where did He Ziyun have an idea, he just stole a loophole and stole the fruits of this victory. Now He Ziyun also knows that it is self-defeating, He Ziyun gritted his teeth and said: "Xia Guan led troops to intercept, Jie Shuai should retreat to Jinzhou now and recruit troops to fight back!" ”

When Li Fan heard this, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "Yes! Right! Right! Prepare your horses! No carriages! Can't you see that Ben Shuai is injured now and can't ride a horse? Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

"It's late!" Just when the big tent of the Chinese army was in chaos, a loud shout full of sarcasm sounded. A blood-stained spear lifted the curtain of the tent, and everyone saw Zhu Youqian, who was wearing a crown of armor, walking into the tent of the Chinese army, and a sound of armor leaf hitting behind him sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers quickly poured in, vigilantly scanning everyone in the tent. The weapons in the hands of those soldiers were stained with red blood, and the armor was stained with blood, and a sense of murder came to their faces.

"This ...... How could this be so fast! Li Fan fell on the chair in horror. He Ziyun looked outside the curtain and found that more than a dozen war horses were scattered outside, not to mention the reins of the horses, followed by a chaotic footstep and the sound of weapons clashing.

"Quick! Zhu Youqian ran ...... Run...... ran to the big tent of the Chinese army......" a shout came to an abrupt end.

He Ziyun also understood why Zhu Youqian came to the Chinese army's tent so quickly at this time, it must have been Zhu Youqian who came with more than a dozen cavalry to attack. However, he sadly found that he understood and understood, but it was useless, there were many generals in the Chinese army's big tent, and it was not impossible to unite to fight back against Zhu Youqian, but at this moment, all the generals took a step back indifferently, looking indifferent. But then again, Zhu Youqian became the festival envoy, and there was not much loss to them, who was the festival envoy was not the same, would it be better than Zhu Youqian to go there, where was it worse.

Li Fan heard the voice outside at this time, and he didn't know his situation, he couldn't help but perk up, he also knew that it was estimated that Zhu Youqian was a lone attacker, and hurriedly shouted: "Ben Shuai is here, go in to protect Ben Shuai!" Kill one enemy and reward money consistently! ”

"It's late!" Zhu Youqian said indifferently, the person had already run up, Li Fan wanted to stand up, but he had no choice but to calmly steal the fruit of victory last night, and now it has become his fatal weakness. Huo Ran stood up, only feeling that his back was hot, and he didn't know if the wound had ruptured, Li Fan couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.

Although He Ziyun is insidious, he is indeed loyal to Li Fan, a weak scholar, picked up a spear, stabbed Zhu Youqian indomitable, and did not forget to remind Li Fan: "Be handsome! Retreat! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood...... Scold...... Forehead ......"

Zhu Youqian's relaxed side head flashed the spear stabbed by He Ziyun, and the horizontal knife in his hand stabbed out without hesitation, and the flat tip of the knife pierced through Li Fan without hesitation, where Li Fan only had the last word left at the moment, but he still didn't say it.

Zhu Youqian raised his foot without hesitation and kicked He Ziyun's corpse away, and slowly walked towards Li Fan with a horizontal knife dripping with fresh blood. There was already a shout of killing outside the tent, but the soldiers outside were very scruples, and the effect of the assault was very average.

Li Fan saw Zhu Youqian coming over, and involuntarily sat down again, only to feel another pain in his back, a stream of liquid splashed out, and it was estimated that the wound behind his back had ruptured, but Li Fan didn't care so much at the moment, looking at the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, hoping to have an escort, but all he saw was an indifferent look.

No matter how stupid Li Fan is at the moment, he also knows that the situation is not good, the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army should already be in a neutral position, and it is impossible for anyone to come out to support him. A flash of struggle flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, Li Fan's face changed, and he immediately looked at Zhu Youqian with a bitter pleading face, and begged: "Brother Deguang, I'm obsessed!" But this was all deceived by the villain He Ziyun! I don't want to be the envoy of the Hedong Festival, really! What am I that I don't know yet? And you have the greatest credit for killing Wang Heng's dog thief, I have always been very ashamed of my appointment as the envoy of the river festival, but my soldiers refuse, if I don't serve, they will kill me, this is true! Brother Deguang, you and I are like brothers, don't you know who I am? Please let me go! ”

Zhu Youqian still walked towards Li Fan slowly with an expressionless face, and many of the generals below showed disdain, and He Ziyun was deceived, He Ziyun died to save you, it was really not worth it. But the soldiers under him refused? The ghost only believes you, you were so proud when you took over just now, is this possible?

Seeing that Zhu Youqian still didn't speak, Li Fan couldn't help but panic even more, struggling to stand up, unable to care about his dignity, Huo Ran knelt down to Zhu Youqian, and the audience was in an uproar, you are also a general, and now you are still the envoy of the river festival, so unambitious? I'm afraid that the whole day of the festival will make you the most inside.

Zhu Youqian, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but have a flash of surprise on his face, but soon returned to his expressionless appearance.

Li Fan has already knelt down, and once his face is put aside, he will become unscrupulous. Not only knelt, but also kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Youqian, revealing his back that was already stained with blood, and whimpered: "Brother Deguang, I'm sorry for you!" But I'm really forced, I don't want anything, I just beg you to spare my life and let me live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I swear, I really won't go out of the mountains again! Spend your life in the mountains! ”

When the generals of the Chinese army's big tent saw it, although they were not ashamed of Li Fan's weakness in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a little pity for Li Fan.

"I swear! It's true! If I, Li Fan, go out of the mountain, I will die with a thousand knives, my children and grandchildren will be slaves, and my daughter will be a camp girl for generations! Li Fan hurriedly raised three fingers and swore nervously. The viciousness of the oath made many people change color slightly, and after Li Fan finished the oath, he looked at Zhu Youqian with a pleading face, only hoping that Zhu Youqian would let him go.

"I believe it!" Zhu Youqian finally spoke, Li Fan's face showed ecstasy when he heard this, and he said in his heart: Leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, hum! Zhu Youqian, when I escape the current predicament, you will know my methods!

When the joy on Li Fan's face had not gone, a sudden fear flashed in his eyes, but it was Zhu Youqian who was as fast as thunder, his hands quickly held the horizontal knife, and the tip of the cold and shining knife pierced downward, and before everyone could react, Zhu Youqian's Tang knife had already pierced Li Fan's left back, broke his heart, pierced through his chest, and penetrated Li Fan's entire chest.

Li Fan raised his head with difficulty, looking at Zhu Youqian with disbelief in his eyes, not knowing why Zhu Youqian would backtrack.

Zhu Youqian calmly let go of the hands holding the handle of the horizontal knife, and said indifferently: "The words of the dead!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, only Li Fan, who was already destined to enter the ghost gate, suddenly understood, plus Zhu Youqian's previous words were, 'I believe in the words of the dead', in the final analysis, Zhu Youqian never wanted to let go of Li Fan, after Li Fan flashed this thought, he couldn't help but regret for a while, he knew this, he faced it bravely, no need to do this, and he also left the stigma of being greedy for life and afraid of death after death, but Li Feng's regretful thought was just seven, and he already felt that his eyes were dark, and his head hung down weakly.

At this time, everyone in the tent understood what Zhu Youqian meant by this, and the generals looked at Zhu Youqian, who was decisive, and couldn't help but feel a little more afraid.

Zhu Youqian kicked Li Fan's body away, and sat straight on Li Fan's original seat, not minding at all, staining the seat a little. Zhu Youqian said coldly to the henchmen guarding the door: "Take Li Fan's head and go out, so that Li Fan's troops will all surrender!" Those who don't vote, extinguish! Household! Copy! Family! ”

The sound was not so loud that the generals in the tent felt that there was a yin wind blowing in the tent, a yin wind that penetrated people's hearts and bones.

Li Fan's death made his subordinates collapse in an instant, Li Fan died, and they didn't know what to fight for. Zhu Youqian calmly collected Li Fan and Wang Heng's songs. The rest of the generals also tacitly acquiesced in the reality that Zhu Youqian was the envoy of the river festival.

When the envoy sent by Zhu Wen came back from the Hezhong military camp with a pale face and told Zhu Wen about today's events, Zhu Wen couldn't help but sigh: "The lonely king has lost his eyes this time, Zhu Youqian is a hero!" ”

Zhu Wen gradually changed his expression to Zhu Youqian as the envoy of the river festival, but Zhu Youqian also had a problem with Zhu Wen, and the most important thing was that he knew that Zhu Wen valued strength. At the beginning, Li Fan mastered all the tooth soldiers, although he did not have an advantage in troops, but his strength was the strongest, and all Zhu Wen asked Li Fan to be the envoy of the river festival. Now that Zhu Youqian has killed Li Fan, his strength is already better than Li Fan, not only mastering the tooth soldiers of the Hezhong Army, but also one of the four armies before and after, and the strength is already an overwhelming surname advantage among the generals of the Hezhong Army, which is the main reason why Zhu Wen agreed to let Zhu Youqian serve as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival. (Note: The tooth soldiers have always been the Chinese army, and all of them are not 'middle'.) ）

Therefore, although Zhu Youqian accepted Zhu Wen's belated canonization, he did not restore his original name and continued to be Zhu Wen's adopted son, but Zhu Youqian was not willing to be Zhu Wen's pawn. claimed that the local feng shui in Yuan County was not good, and two river festival envoys died in one night. When Zhu Youqian took over as the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu, he led his troops and horses to retreat north. Although Zhu Wen was helpless, he did not send anyone to pursue.

And Zhu Youqian didn't really break off his relationship with Liu Zhijun for the sake of Zhu Wen, who knows if Li Cunhuan will send troops to support, and if Liu Zhijun settles accounts after the autumn, no one will be able to protect himself.

Therefore, after Zhu Youqian's death, he did not forget to send his henchmen and secretly went to Zhengping County, the Jiangzhou Governance Office, to tell Liu Zhijun that there was an accident in the army in Hezhong, and the two Jiedu envoys died, and the army was unstable, and he led the soldiers back to Jinzhou (now Linfen City) to rest.

When Liu Zhijun received Zhu Youqian's letter, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and hated Zhu Youqian, but he also knew that this was not the time to offend Zhu Youqian, so he acquiesced in Zhu Youqian's appointment as the envoy of the river festival. The strategists were brought in to discuss, and the strategists thought that the soldiers under Liu Zhijun's command were only 20,000 and could not stop Zhu Wen's troops at all, and suggested retreating to Puzhou. Liu Zhijun had no choice but to order the army to withdraw from Jiangzhou and abandon all the cities in Jiangzhou. However, Zhu Wen did not let Liu Zhijun walk comfortably, and on the way, Jiangzhou Wenxi encountered the cavalry sent by Zhu Wen to take advantage of the situation to cover up.

This time, the main general is none other than Wang Yanzhang, who is already known as the first general of Xuanwu, with two big iron guns in his hand, killing Liu Zhijun, who retreated in a panic, and the formation was chaotic, Wang Yanzhang once killed a distance of only three meters from Liu Zhijun, and projected a short gun in his hand, but unfortunately Liu Zhijun flashed.

Liu Zhijun knew that he couldn't mess up now, even at this time, Liu Zhijun still did not leave the command vehicle of the Chinese army. Seeing that the commander is so calm, as the so-called general is the courage of the soldiers, Liu Zhijun's Guanzhong army has slowly settled down, although Wang Yanzhang is brave, but the soldiers and horses brought over are only 4,000 people, where can Liu Zhijun be consumed. In the end, Liu Zhijun took advantage of the situation to bite back, and lost more than 700 people, so he had no choice but to retreat. However, Liu Zhijun was not much better, and after Wang Yanzhang left, the corpses did not have time to be cleaned up and left, leaving behind more than 2,300 corpses and wounded soldiers to retreat towards Hezhong Mansion in a panic.

Hezhong Mansion is Puzhou, which was upgraded to Hezhong Mansion in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, but it was abolished in the same year, and it was upgraded to Hezhong Mansion again in the Qianyuan period. Because of the revision, modification, and reform, Hezhong Mansion is also known as Puzhou.

By the time he arrived in Hezhong Mansion, Zhu Wen had fully occupied the entire territory of Jiangzhou, as well as the northern part of Hezhong Mansion, and Puzhou was left in Hezhong Mansion that Liu Zhijun could control. Liu Zhijun hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Li Cunhuan, Li Cunhuan received thirteen letters a day at most, which made Li Cunhuan cry and laugh, you said that thirteen to the gold medal to recall Yue Fei could not succeed, even if Lao Tzu is Yue Fei, what you sent over is not a gold medal, and you are not Song Gaozong.

However, Li Cunhuan still ordered the soldiers to speed up, judging from the speed of Liu Zhijun's letter for help, Li Cunhuan also knew that the situation in the river was not ordinarily bad at this time. Judging from the current situation, because of the changes in the Hezhong Army, it has changed from loyal Liu to loyal Zhu, and then to the current temporary neutrality. If you add your own joining, a small river has already mixed with four forces, and this river has become not ordinarily complicated.
