Chapter 48: The Battle of Guangling (2)

Ask for a collection recommendation, brothers, thank you

----------------

It didn't take long for the heads of each family to come one after another, and according to Tian Fan's arrangement, they all walked through the back door or side door, and directly entered the Xu Mansion with people and cars, without attracting the attention of others. Even if someone sees it, they will just think, what is the big event in Xu Mansion today, how can you buy so many dishes?

There were more than 20 people in total, one by one dressed in gold and silver, dressed gorgeously, buzzing in the main hall, guessing the reason why Xu Fu secretly invited them. Tian Fan appeared accompanied by Xu Deng, causing a commotion. He didn't have time to get to know them one by one, he made a group group, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop the noise, and said: "The head of the Xu family is unwell, entrust me to tell you one thing!" He glanced around at everyone and spoke again, and everyone was shocked!

He said: "Everyone, I asked you to come today to prepare for the future in advance!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then someone scolded, as for what was scolded, you can imagine!

Tian Fan said loudly: "Do you want to know why I said that?" Everyone slowly quieted down and looked at Tian Fan. Tian Fan continued: "I just received the news that Zhen Rong plans to sack Guangling! Time, it's tonight! All of you present here are quite wealthy, and you will bear the brunt of it! ”

At this moment, everyone in the hall exploded, and someone asked, "Why do we believe you?" ”

Tian Fan raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling them to be quiet, and said, "Of all the people present, there are about a few people who know each other!" Under Pi Tianfan, a small official under Uncle Liu Huang's account! ”

These people may not have seen Tian Fan, but no one has not heard of him, this guy is too famous! Merchants from all over the country come and go to Xiapi, and they have long spread this miraculous person and the miraculous things he did all over the Han! When they heard that it was him, everyone fell silent!

Tian Fan was a little vain, nodded slightly, and continued: "My lord plans to use force against Zhen Rong in the near future, and in this trip, it is to make a front stop!" There are tens of thousands of troops behind, and they will come in the near future! It was probably Zhen Rong who heard the news, so he decided that he would not escape after sacking Guangling tonight! ”

When these few words are spoken, the needle drop in the hall can be seen! But the silence was always temporary, and the crowd immediately resumed its clamour, and a few people came to their senses and shouted to leave, so that they could go home early and prepare for it.

Tian Fan waited for them to be brought back by the people who had arranged at the door, and then said: "Perhaps, some of the people present have a good relationship with Zhenrong, and they are probably not worried!" ”

A few people in the hall saw Tian Fan's eyes looking over, dodging, and didn't dare to look at him.

"Don't be delusional! Zhen Rong is preparing to escape, and before escaping, he will loot all the big households in Guangling! Good relationship? The relationship is good, and it's a fart? When disaster comes, he can still remember you? After hearing these words, a few people slowly came to their senses, yes, at this time, it was strange for Zhen Rong to know himself, anyway, he was planning to escape!

Tian Fan saw the reactions of several people, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You may be curious, what is the purpose of inviting you here?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued: "Today, I called everyone here just to save everyone's lives!" After looking around at everyone, he continued: "I believe everyone understands that everyone present is not capable of resisting the attack of Zhenrong, if his army enters your house, everyone should know his military discipline, I think, the consequences of everyone will be death!" But as long as we stick together, we're all fine! ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to unite, they knew they were going to bleed!

Tian Fan said: "Please take out all the private soldiers at home and deploy them in a unified manner!" ”…,

"No, my lord, there are only a few dozen private soldiers in my family, and the yard is big, so it's a bit difficult to protect the yard, and there are really no soldiers to hand over! It's not that you don't want to help, it's that you really can't do anything! I hope your sins will be forgiven! ”

"Adults, small people have small businesses, how can there be any private soldiers? It's just a few distant relatives in the countryside who help take care of the family's home! Hehe, forgive me, adults, villains can't do anything! ”

"Adults forgive sins, the villain's family was just robbed the day before yesterday, and his wife and children are a little frightened, and dozens of family soldiers have to protect the backyard!"

"My lord, how can there be any soldiers? There are only a few family members in the villain's house, and they like fists and feet, so I'll let them practice casually, beware of a thief or something, hehe, there are no family soldiers......"

……

The reaction of these people is not Tian Fan's surprise! The soldiers are all the private property of their own families, and now they have to deal with official affairs, and they are all businessmen, and they often do things based on interests, how can they agree?

Tian Fan pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, he said loudly: "Everyone, you don't have to find this or that reason, since I can invite you here, I naturally have a certain understanding of your family background!" Let's put it this way, none of you is enough to compete with Zhenrong, but if everyone works together, then it is still unknown who will kill the deer! I don't ask you to confront the army of Zhenrong, I only ask you to do everything in your power to help me catch Zhenrong! As far as I know, he usually lives in the city! After controlling him, as long as your soldiers help defend the city, it will be a great achievement! It's not a long time, I just ask to be able to withstand this night, and tomorrow morning, 30,000 troops will arrive! ”

Seeing that some people were still hesitating, Tian Fan smiled and took Xu Deng's hand and said: "Everyone, the master of the Xu family understands the righteousness and is willing to send two thousand soldiers, I agreed on behalf of the lord, and named Xu Gongzi as the captain!" Hehe, decide for yourself! ”

After some intimidation, and then a bright prospect, sure enough, these people are tempted! In the end, with the five thousand that the Xu family and other salt merchants had already agreed, a total of seven thousand people were made! Tian Fan has made an agreement with them for three chapters, and the soldiers from these people must absolutely obey their own command, otherwise it will not be counted as your credit, you will do the specific ideological work, I only recognize the result!

According to Tian Fan's plan, half an hour later, he would directly lead people from Xufu to control Zhao Yu as soon as possible, and then let him command the county soldiers to close the city gate to prevent the Rong army from entering the city. At the same time, another group of people will control Zhenrong's mansion, regardless of whether Zhenrong is in Guangling City or not, at least make him have some scruples! If you can catch Zhen Rong directly, it's convenient, even if you can't catch him, it doesn't matter! If all goes well, with the 8,000 county soldiers of Guangling City and the 7,000 private soldiers of this great clan, it will be enough to block Zhenrong's attack!

After arranging these things, there are only two hours left before the time, and all Tian Fan can do is wait! He hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and was about to take someone to arrest Zhao Yu, when Xu Deng came to report that Zhao Yu invited Uncle Liu's envoy to the mansion for a banquet!

Tian Fan wondered, how did Zhao Yu know that he was Liu Bei's envoy? How did you know that you were in Xu's Mansion? Maybe it was among the heads of those big families that someone reported the news, or perhaps, it was the goddess who betrayed herself, there are only these two explanations!

Suddenly, Tian Fan thought of a key question, why didn't Zhao Yu come to arrest him? He asked Xu Deng: "Young Master Xu, how many people have come to Zhao Taishou's mansion?" ”

Xu Deng was stunned for a moment, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back and replied: "My lord, they only came with two people, a coachman and a steward!" ”

Tian Fan nodded, more sure of the guess in his heart! It seems that Zhao Yu doesn't want to be involved with Zhen Rong anymore, he plans to take refuge in Liu Bei! Otherwise, even if he didn't want to offend Liu Bei by doing it himself, he could directly notify Zhen Rong and let Zhen Rong kill him. Well, great! …,

Tian Fan slapped it on the desk and said, "Okay! Tell them, I'll go! ”

Xu Fu hurriedly said: "Lord Tian, you can't go!" Beware of the Hongmen Feast! ”

Tian Fan was very familiar with this line, and asked without thinking: "What the hell is the Hongmen banquet?" Is it a bully inviting bandits? ”

Xu Fu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Overlord please Gaozu!" After he established the Han Dynasty, he issued an edict that when Xiang Yu was called, he was not allowed to call him by his name, but to call him "the overlord of Chu"!

"What did Gaozu do later?"

Hui'er answered: "I know, I know, Gaozu naturally became the founding emperor of my Han Dynasty, do you need to ask?" ”

"What about the Chu Overlord?"

A room full of people was dumbfounded, Tian Fan was also stunned, these lines seemed to be real...... Very familiar! After a while, Xu Fucai said cautiously: "That...... Go? ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Of course I want to go, there is a banquet to eat, why don't you go?" After speaking, he looked at the few people who were still stunned, and said to himself: "I want to go, but I also have to be prepared!" Well, Hui'er and Tian Hu will go with me, if the situation is not good, you two will catch Zhao Yu directly! Hehe, it's more convenient, and it saves us from dispatching our army. ”

Hui'er Tianhu hurriedly agreed, and Xu Fu and Xu Deng's father and son agreed when they saw that Tian Fan insisted and looked confident. However, for the sake of insurance, Xu Deng led 3,000 soldiers to kill Zhao Mansion at the planned time, that is, in the middle of the Wu hour, that is, at eight o'clock in the evening of the future generations.

Tian Fan has already figured it out, now he and Zhao Yu are two grasshoppers on a rope, and their common enemy is Zhenrong! Since Zhen Rong planned to escape, how could he let go of such a rich man as him? Although Zhao Yu took in Zhenrong, he is considered his benefactor, but he has not done such a thing as ingratitude. Didn't Tao Qian take him in? also let him be in charge of the transportation of several counties in Xuzhou, so that he could get a full fish, but when disaster came, he didn't pat his ass and leave? Not only did they leave, but they also took away 3,000 horses and tens of thousands of people! Since he plans to run away again, why not kill Zhao Yu and make a lot of money?

With Hui'er and Tian Hu, Tian Fan got into the car sent by Zhao Yu at the door.

Zhao's Mansion is not far from Xu's Mansion, that is, it is separated by a few streets, about two miles. Think about it, too, every city is divided into rich and poor areas, and the city at that time was not big, it could not be very far!

The current time is about seven o'clock in the evening, and the weather in July is relatively late, along the way, Tian Fan opened the curtain of the car, and what came into his eyes were the crowd of people who were not in a hurry to rush home, and they did not know that the crisis had come.
