Tian Fan nodded, thinking to himself, it seems that the information that Zheng Bao asked from Yuan Jian was accurate.

I only heard Chen Lan continue: "The people in our cottage are poor people, and they went up the mountain because they went down the mountain. Since we have taken them in, it is our duty to find them something to eat. With our strength, if we hit the county, it doesn't mean that we can't beat it, it's just that we can't beat it...... Liu Xun kept making trouble for us, and he didn't stop until the Xuzhou army crossed the Huai River, and we didn't dare. ”

Lei Bo frowned, hugged his fists and said, "Chen Lan, don't say it!" General Tian, the two of us have committed a capital crime, and even if there are many reasons, it is difficult to live. When our men flee back, they will step up their fortifications and prepare to defend against your attacks. ”

After a slight pause, he looked directly at Tian Fan and said, "General Tian, the two of us want to make a deal with you!" ”

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, snorted, and said, "You two are in prison, and you still want to make a deal with me?" What to trade? ”

Lei Bo was not angry, he smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The two of us wrote a letter to the subordinates in the cottage and asked them to surrender to Xuzhou." In this way, it can avoid a large number of casualties among the general's men, which is also good for the general. ”

Tian Fan groaned: "Talk about the conditions!" ”

Chen Lan and the two glanced at each other, and said lightly: "Our soldiers, the past is not to blame, and the general will not harm those people, right?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "I can accept this condition!" After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "However, I have a better proposal here, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" ”

Without waiting for them to agree, Tian Fan said to himself: "If you two surrender to Xuzhou, I will not blame the past, and I will appoint you to an official position, and I will treat the people in your cottage well, and I will give priority to helping them arrange land." Look, how is this proposal? ”

The two were stunned. Tian Fan didn't want to kill them?

Tian Fan saw the two of them hesitating, and said: "Both of you have good skills, although you are mentally prepared for a tragic death on the day you become a general, but is it not worth dying like this?" Are you willing to be a thief for the rest of your life? Besides, you are no longer Yuan Shu's people, and surrendering to Xuzhou is not a betrayal or a betrayal, and there is no damage to your reputation. ”

Chen Lan's face was gloomy and uncertain, but she still didn't say anything.

Tian Fan's gaze cooled, and he said, "If you don't surrender, then I don't dare to guarantee the life and death of those under you!" I'm not interested in killing them, attacking them, I don't have time. Can...... If it weren't for you, the bandits around the mountain would be very interested in attacking it! Hehe, after all, it's a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. When they offended me, they knew that I would clean them up, and when they saw that I didn't have time for a while, they would definitely find a place that was easier to defend and more difficult to attack as a base base. So...... What do you think? ”

Finally, the eyes of the two loosened, obviously, they had been moved by Tian Fan's words.

Tian Fan smiled slightly, his tone slowed down, and said: "You don't have to worry about the generals under the lord's account, they are all straight people, as long as you two have the ability, they will recognize you sooner or later." Hehe, I have lived in the mountains for more than a year, and I must have some experience of fighting in the mountains and forests. And we in Xuzhou, now there is a shortage of generals in the mountains and forests, as long as the two of you take refuge in the lord, you will definitely be appointed. How is it? ”

If you don't surrender, you're a pure fool! The two glanced at each other, pushed Jinshan down and knelt down, clasped their fists and said loudly: "The last general Chen Lan (Lei Bo), see General Tian!" ”

Tian Fan laughed and said, "Two of you, please get up!" With that, he turned to the jailer and said, "Little brother, open the door?" In addition, return the things of the two generals to them. ”

The jailer was forty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he could be called "little brother" by Tian Fan, and he didn't feel ridiculed at all, but felt flattered. This guy's face was flushed, and he learned the movements of Chen Lan and the others, and hugged his fists and said, "No! ”…,

Tian Fan waited for him and was immediately amused by him.

The cell door opened, and the two of them walked out of the cell and greeted Tian Fan again.

Tian Fan nodded and said, "You two go to the front lobby to wait for me first, and I will arrange tasks for you!" After a slight pause, he said, "Tang Yi, you accompany the two!" ”

Tang nodded a little, hugged his fists and said, "No!" ”

Chen Lan and the others clasped their fists again and followed Tang Yi to the county hall. When passing by Yuan Lian's cell, the two stopped at the same time, they glanced at each other, and looked at Tian Fan with some embarrassment, but did not speak.

When Yuan Jian saw the appearance of the two of them, he raised his voice and said, "Two, don't be embarrassed!" Yuan Lian can't kill Tian Fan, he has no face to live in the world, Xuzhou Jun is good, you two don't have to delay a good future for me. ”

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Lian, and then at Chen Lan and Lei Bo.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo are both smart people, and they know that as a general, they are not qualified to ask for this and that, but the two of them are unwilling to watch Yuan Lian being killed by Tian Fan.

Lei Bo gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said to Tian Fan with his fists: "General Tian, as generals, the two of us are subordinate generals, and we are not qualified to ask for anything from the generals." However, the eldest husband is in the world, and he should put righteousness first, and the grievances are clear! Mr. Yuan has a great life-saving grace to the two of us, and we are not willing to watch my husband die early. General ...... please"

Yuan Lian was furious and shouted: "Idiot! Are you stupid? I, Yuan Juan, just want to use you to kill Tian Fan, just use you! Do you think I'm a good person? You are being used by me, and you still don't know it, what a fool! Get out of here, I don't want to see you idiots! ”

Tian Fan's eyes froze, and the corners of his mouth showed a funny look. It seems that there is some story behind this?

He asked, "Lei Bo, Chen Lan, what's going on?" ”

Chen Lan hugged her fists and said, "General Tian, ...... that day The two of us, along with General Ji Ling, attacked Xuzhou, but were almost wiped out by General Zhang and you. After escaping back to Shouchun, Yuan Shu wanted to kill us, but General Qiao Rui interceded, and the two of us were able to survive. Later, when the two of us came to thank us, we learned that all this was the credit of Mr. Yuan, and it was he who begged General Qiao to save our lives. ”

Lei Bo clenched his fists and said: "Not bad! General Tian and the last general knew that Mr. Yuan had offended the general this time, but the two generals were willing to guarantee Mr. Yuan's life with their lives and official positions! ”

Yuan Lian said angrily: "Get out, I don't want to see you!" You two bastards who don't know what to do or what to do, whether it's good or bad, I'm really blind to save you! ”

Chen Lan and the others didn't care about his scolding, they just looked at Tian Fan fixedly. Tian Fan saw in their eyes hopes, prayers, apprehensions, etc., which were not there just now. At this moment, Tian Fan is like a judge, and one sentence can determine life and death. Chen Lan and Lei Bo did not show any pleading and apprehension when their life and death were about to be determined, but when Yuan Lian's life and death were about to be announced, they showed this emotion. Just this made Tian Fan look at the two of them differently! These are two righteous people!

Ignoring them, Tian Fan looked at Yuan Lian.

He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yuan, there is a mention in the information I got from Zheng Bao that you hate me very much. Hehe, Fan has always been puzzled, but now he knows, you probably hate me for killing Qiao Rui, right? ”

Yuan Jian looked directly at Tian Fan with his eyes, without the slightest dodge, and said in a deep voice: "Not bad! General Qiao has the grace of knowing me, and I am very impressed by him for being a little-known little person, who was entrusted with the important task of military advisor. Hehe, it's a pity, people are not as good as heaven, and in the end I still failed to kill you and avenge the general! ”

The two kept looking at each other, and after a long time, Tian Fan looked away first.

He sighed and said, "At that time, General Qiao's tactics were very correct, which caused our army to suffer heavy losses, and the generals and soldiers in the army were very angry with General Qiao, so I had to kill him. Actually......"...,

Tian Fan paused slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I admire General Qiao very much!" If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily have such a quick reaction speed to put on such a big formation. Hehe, it's a pity, I've only met once in this life, or before he died. ”

He looked directly at Yuan Jian and said in a deep voice: "I'm very curious now, what kind of person is General Qiao, who can make you a famous person, risk the death of the clan, and be willing to plan such a big game, just to avenge him!" But ......"

He accentuated his tone and said, "Qiao Rui is dead!" There is no resurrection from the dead. He's right, he killed our soldiers, that's the responsibility of a minister, but ...... What I did, yes! I killed him to appease the resentment of the generals and soldiers in the army, if I did not kill him, the morale of the army would be damaged, and how would the battle be fought in the future? ”

Yuan Lian glanced at him and did not answer.

Tian Fan said: "What's wrong is that this chaotic world is this damn chaos in the world, and the princes are in harmony!" If it weren't for this environment, I'm afraid that General Qiao and I would only be rich people, and my Tian Fan is a big family in Xiapi, and he Qiao Rui is a big family in Shouchun. Hehe, maybe we will still have business dealings, and we can become friends! ”

Yuan Lian's gaze finally loosened, he pondered for a moment and sighed!

I only heard Tian Fan say in a deep voice: "Mr. Yuan, it's right that you avenge him, but have you ever thought about what kind of situation it will be if I die?" ”

Tian Fan looked at Yuan Jian with blazing eyes, and Yuan Jian didn't dare to look at him anymore.

Tian Fan stared at him for a long time, and suddenly he smiled and said calmly: "With my position in the heart of my lord and the strength of Xuzhou, if I die, there will be such consequences!" First, the whole family of your Yuan family has to be buried together, and your hometown of Fule County, Chen County, has to be buried together, even if I have 100,000 people here! Second, all the bandits and water thieves involved in this matter have to be buried together, plus the people who are attached to them, even if I have 100,000 people here. Third, all the soldiers and people of Yuan Shujun in Shu County were buried together, and I still count 100,000 people here. Fourth, because I am dead, the lord must adjust his strategy and slow down the pace of attacking Yuan Shu, so that the support for the refugees in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County will be cut off. Hehe, the number of refugees is not too much, according to the most conservative estimate, if the lord does not rescue, Yuan Shu will not rescue, and the refugees will die 200,000! ”

Glancing at Yuan Lian, Tian Fan smiled lightly and said, "You Mr. Yuan really look down on me, just to kill me, but you want 500,000 people to die with me, Fan is really honored!" ”

Yuan Jian was drenched in cold sweat by what he said, sweating like rain, he only thought about revenge, but he didn't expect this. Now that I think about it, I am glad that I didn't succeed in revenge! At this time, let alone looking at Tian Fan, even if he looked at Tian Fan, he didn't dare to look at it, he only felt that Tian Fan's gaze was like substance, like arrows shooting at him, making him uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Tian Fan burst out: "If you kill me, you didn't make a mistake, you are committing a crime!" 500,000 unjust souls will haunt you, and you will not be able to repay you in this life and the next life, and you will not be able to repay you as a pig or a dog in your life! Yuan Lian, you are still a celebrity! When the world was in turmoil, you didn't know how to govern the country and serve the court, you only knew that for your own personal revenge, you abandoned the people's life and death, and watched the people struggle to the death under the rule of Yuan Shu, you are not worthy of being a celebrity, you are not worthy of being a man! ”

Tian Fan's face was blue, and under the burst of cheers, the sound was like a giant bell, which shook the ears of the people present. His words can be said to have insulted Yuan Jian a lot, but Yuan Lian's face was like ashes and his heart was like numbness when he said it, and he didn't know how to talk back.

Not only Yuan Lian, but Chen Lan and Lei Bo were forced by his momentum, and they didn't even dare to say anything more begging for mercy.

After a while, Yuan Lian finally gave in.

After he sorted out his appearance, he came to Tian Fan, knelt down on his knees, and said: "For personal vendetta, he almost caused a catastrophe, and he has no shame to live in the world, just want to die quickly!" ”

Tian Fan laughed, looked at Yuan Jian contemptuously, pointed at his nose and shouted, "Death? It's too easy to die! A piece of hemp rope solves the problem, but it is a coward's behavior to ask for death! Your Yuan Lian begging for death can only make me look down on me even more! If you make a mistake, you will die? How can there be such a good thing? Listen to me, I won't kill you, and I won't let you die, because ...... I'm going to keep you to atone for your sins! ”

After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice: "Open the door, bring them all to the main hall, I have something to explain!" After speaking, Tian Fan strode out of the cell. PS: There's only this chapter today, sorry
