Chapter 258: Who Rebelled?

Yizhou is completely messed up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After Chen Xu received Fa Zheng's letter, he immediately agreed to his plan, and also sent a sister of Misaka to follow him back, keep in touch with him at any time, and report to him the situation in Chengdu.

He also gave instructions to Zhang Liao and Li Jing, who were far away in the Sword Pavilion, through the Imperial Palace: let them find a way to notify Zhang Song, who was still in the Sword Pavilion, and spread various rumors according to the situation to shake the military morale of the defenders of the Sword Pavilion.

At this time, Chen Xu changed his plan again.

There is already turmoil in Yizhou, and there is no hurry to attack Chengdu. What to do now is to wait quietly and wait until Zhang Song and Fa Zheng pass the rumors to make a split within Yizhou. At that time, he quickly took over Yizhou on the pretext of quelling the turmoil in Yizhou.

It can also take advantage of the turmoil in Yizhou to wipe out those disgruntled and rat-headed families, so as to completely clear the obstacles for ruling Yizhou in the future.

Chen Xu didn't need to worry too much about the affairs of Yizhou, what he was most concerned about now was how to persuade Yan Yan to surrender.

Yan Yan ordered someone to open the city gate, but he did not surrender, but entered the prison alone and waited for Chen Xu's disposal as a defeated.

Chen Xu personally went to persuade him to surrender several times, but he still refused to surrender, which made him very frustrated. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", even Zhang Fei can persuade Yan Yan to surrender, why can't he come here?

In desperation, he used a method that was not a solution: all the government affairs and official documents that needed to be dealt with urgently in Jiangzhou and Ba County were moved into the cell where Yan Yan lived.

"Old General Yan, since you refuse to surrender, then you are still the Bajun Taishou appointed by Liu Zhang. I haven't occupied Yizhou yet, and I can't appoint the Ba County Taishou. Therefore, these official affairs of Jiangzhou and Ba County should be handled by you. ā€

After speaking, Chen Xu turned around and left the cell.

Yan Yan scoffed at Chen Xu's approach, what's the matter? The soft ones don't work to the hard ones, and the hard ones don't work, so it's changed to playing tricks? What is the difference between this unreasonable and bullshit statement and that of a child?

A day passed, and Yan Yan didn't make any moves.

Two days have passed, and there are more official duties that have not been handled, and Yan Yan's brows have furrowed.

A few days passed, and the official documents in the cell had piled up, and Yan Yan finally couldn't hold it back. There is a backlog of so many official affairs that are not handled, and after a while, the entire Ba County may be in chaos.

"Come on, bring a pen, the old man has to deal with official business. is not very old, and there are so many ghost eyes. ā€

The cell boss ran over, "Old general, can you go back to the government office to handle official business?" There are many more, and a few of our jailers still have to watch over the prisoners, so we really can't spare the manpower to carry them. ā€

Yan Yan's face darkened, "Hmph, then I bother you to help the old man and move the official documents here back to the mansion." ā€

The cell boss was full of joy, "Hey, okay, okay, the little one will send someone to help you move over." ā€

After Chen Xu received the report that Yan Yan returned to the government to deal with official business, he was secretly proud in his heart: I can solve Zhong Xuan's stubborn old man, but hasn't Old Man Yan been solved the same? What's more, Old Man Yan is really much easier to deal with than Zhong Xuan.

……

Zitong.

General Zhang Ren took the three orders in his hand and was completely confused.

What does that mean?

An order told him to quickly lead his army back to Chengdu to support; Another order told him to stand by and not to act rashly; There was also an order for him to quickly lead the troops to the Sword Pavilion to prevent Huang Quan and Pang Xi from launching a rebellion, and let Chen Xu's army enter the customs.

He took the three orders and thought for a while, and then he understood the meaning.

The first order was very simple, it was a news that had already been confirmed: Chen Xu's army appeared in Ba County and had conquered Jiangzhou, and Chengdu was in danger, so he needed to lead his army to support.

The second order is a bit intriguing.

One of them meant that it was only a small force that invaded Ba County and occupied Jiangzhou, which was not enough to pose a threat to Chengdu, and the lord Liu Zhang had already mobilized nearby troops to exterminate it.

Another meaning, Zhang Ren felt a little chilled. The lord must have listened to the rumors and doubted his loyalty. I want to use this order to test whether I have rebelled.

There is nothing to say about the third order. The lord not only doubted his loyalty, but also doubted whether Huang Quan and Pang Xi were loyal.

The time when these three orders came was only two or three days apart. Less than a day after Zhang Ren received the first order, he received the second order. When he accepted the second order and returned to Zitong with his troops, he received a third order.

It can be seen that Liu Zhang has completely panicked and expressed his distrust of Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Pang Xi and others in the form of orders.

Zhang Ren couldn't help but think that he had received such an order. So what about Huang Quan and Pang Xi, who were far away on the front line of the Sword Pavilion? Did the two of them receive the same order? The only difference is that the object of the rebellion has become himself?

He really guessed correctly, Huang Quan and Pang Xi were also in a daze at three completely different orders at this time.

They didn't care if Liu Zhang trusted him. As long as they have military power in their hands, with Liu Zhang's personality and ability, not only will they have no way to do it, but they will also be given high-ranking officials and co-opted Dongzhou officials headed by them.

What they really care about is, what's going on in Chengdu?

Did Chen Xu's army really invade Ba County and occupy Jiangzhou, and then posed a threat to Chengdu. Their money, land, and shops are all in Chengdu, and once Chengdu is captured, these things may no longer belong to them.

Zhang Song looked at the two of them, his eyes rolling slightly.

"Two generals, we must go back. Chengdu is our foundation, and the consequences are unimaginable if it fails. The Sword Pavilion is a natural danger, as long as a few generals and some soldiers are left, they can resist the enemy outside the pass. ā€

Huang Quan hesitated: "But what the lord means ......"

Zhang Song persuaded again: "General, there is a good saying, the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside. The people who stayed in Chengdu were all corrupt literati, and where did they know how to do military affairs? Chengdu City cannot afford to be lost, and two generals are needed to defend it. ā€

Pang Xi agreed: "Yes, Zhang Beijia is right. The Sword Pavilion is dangerous, and it is impossible for the enemy to break through. On the contrary, it is Chengdu, and I really can't rest assured. Lao Huang, let's lead our troops to support Chengdu. ā€

Huang Quan hesitated again and again, and finally decided to lead the army to aid Chengdu.

The troops of the two men traveled day and night, and it took less than five days to rush to Zitong, the only place to pass on their way to Chengdu.

After Zhang Ren received the news, he immediately gathered his troops and led the army to stop Huang Quan and Pang Xi's troops.

"Huang Quan, Pang Xi, you are guarding the Sword Pavilion, but you led troops to Zitong, do you want to rebel? Listen, Zhang has received the news that Huang Quan and Pang Xi have secretly surrendered to Chen Xu, you quickly lay down your arms, and you must not follow the rebellion, so as not to cause trouble to your family! ā€

Huang Quan immediately retorted: "Zhang Ren, we received an order from the lord to quickly support Chengdu. But you intercepted here, isn't it true that you have secretly surrendered to Chen Xu as the lord's order said? ā€

The generals of both sides insisted on their own words, and both said that they had received orders from their lords to lead troops to suppress the rebellion of the other side.

The soldiers on both sides were completely stunned, who rebelled?
