Zhengxi Mansion is vigorously carrying out the plan to annex Xingtan, Zhong Roulan has silently taken Huizhou and Jiujiang Zhuo Tianya Division, Zhuo Tianya was ordered to go north to Xizhou to echo Meng Yan, Zhong Roulan personally led the Qingluan army to approach Jinzhou City.

After the defeat of Luling, Fan Lihu lost the state that he had been operating for many years in an instant, and he couldn't hate Tang Yuan's betrayal anymore, so he borrowed wine all day to drown his sorrows, and he didn't go out of the city gate, and he also coped with the letters from Yuan Changli brought by Duan Wan.

Fan Zhenshi's death hit him too hard, at least this is a fact recognized by the entire Jinzhou officials, in addition to military affairs, Jinzhou also occasionally asked, and most of the other things were handled by Jinzhou Song Jian.

Originally, this Song Jian was one of the records of Fan Lihu's army to join the army, when Fan Lihu arrived in Jinzhou, Jinzhou Assassin Shi actually wanted to conspire with Duan Wan, Fan Lihu found out and immediately cleaned Jinzhou, which made Song Jian have a bright future, originally let him temporarily replace Jinzhou City and County Order, but this guy took less than a month to take care of Jinzhou City in an orderly manner, and was appreciated by Fan Lihu, and directly let him do Jinzhou Don't drive, and the position of Jinzhou Assassin is controlled by Fan Lihu himself, Therefore, all things in Jinzhou except for military affairs are taken care of by Song Jian.

"General, Huizhou has been taken down by Nanchen, and our Jinzhou is already an isolated city, please make a decision." Song Jian looked at Fan Lihu, who was drunk and dreaming of death, and frowned.

"What are you afraid of! Send a letter to Duan Wan and tell him that if he can't solve Zhong Roulan's little girl, our Jinzhou will never send troops. Fan Lihu said drunkly, he still thought Jinzhou was a fragrant bait.

Song Jian really hates him, but Fan Lihu is the controller of Jinzhou, although the army of 70,000 is not to be underestimated, but tonight is different from the past, the value of Jinzhou has depreciated greatly after Huizhou was captured, and it is estimated that he may not pay attention to Duan Wan's request for help now.

"General! Sober up! Jinzhou is already a lonely city, we now have Tangyuan in the east, the north has the Zhendong army cross-road blocked, the south has the north of the Beifu Tun soldiers Jiangyou, the west has the Qingluan army soldiers arrived outside the city, we are surrounded! "Song Jian didn't pay attention to etiquette and broke out directly.

Earlier, Song Jian persuaded Fan Lihu's troops to enter Huizhou to seize the advantageous terrain and cooperate with Duan Wan to limit Dongyang City's westward expansion strategy, but Fan Lihu thought that Yuan Changli and Duan Wan were people who could not be put on the table, and they were unwilling to pull down this face.

Fan Lihu is dead, his ambition is not willing to die on Fan Lihu, he is more inclined to belong to Nanchen, Nanchen has risen to the national fortune, occupy the entire southeast, there are old people like Zhong Jue in charge, and there are rising stars like Xiao Yu and Meng Yan, and the employment of people is even more eclectic and talented, whether it is a poor scholar, or an attached family as long as you have talent, you can be reused, Zhuo Bailing, Quartz, Gu Yingfeng, Gu Yanfeng is the best example.

"How dare you talk to me like that! Come! Pull this guy out and beat him hard! Fan Lihu said angrily.

After that, two men came in at the door and dragged Song Jian out, Song Jian didn't resist, and he didn't say much, let these two people pull him out, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, one of them whispered: "Lord Song, I know that you have good intentions for the sake of our future, and if you are wronged, the brothers who executed will be merciful." ”

Song Jian nodded and smiled, people's hearts are available, it seems that the people in this army have a lot of opinions about Fan Lihu.

After the execution, although his subordinates showed mercy, he was also beaten and bruised, and dragged him in front of Fan Lihu, Fan Lihu frowned and said: "Song Jian, you must know that if you can do this, I gave it to you, and if I don't give it to you, it's nothing!" ”

Then an impatient wave of his hand asked people to take Song Jian out, saving himself from the good mood of drinking, Fan Lihu thought that as long as Jinzhou was still in his hands, Yuan Changli and Duan Wan would throw a rat bogey, and Zhong Roulan was a little girl, and Tang Yuan, a small commander, could he bear himself?

The Qingluan army had already crossed the Jinjiang River to the east bank, only thirty miles away from Jinzhou City, Zhong Roulan ordered to stop the march, and the troops were stationed on the east bank of the Jinjiang River, just setting up an attack formation.

"Murong, what's the situation in Jinzhou City?" Zhong Roulan simply tied her hair, was dressed in strong armor, carried a sword at her waist, and pedaled deerskin boots, so she was not heroic.

Murong Changfeng covered his face armor and said in a muffled voice: "The county lord, the officials in the city and some soldiers from the state are very dissatisfied with Fan Lihu, this morning Fan Lihu doesn't know why he beat Song Jian in Jinzhou, I'm afraid it will cause more people to be dissatisfied." ”

"Well, continue to investigate, I don't want to lose too many sons and daughters' lives in Jinzhou City, many of the 70,000 garrisons in Jinzhou are from Chuzhou, and it's best not to use swords." Zhong Roulan's attitude towards Jinzhou is soft, she really doesn't want to lose too much, Zhuo Tianya can only threaten Xizhou, and Xizhou's affairs are still waiting for her to be solved.

"Fan Lihu is also a rare general in the Ling Dynasty, and it is difficult to take it lightly." Murong Changfeng did not agree with Zhong Roulan's attitude.

Zhong Roulan moved her neck and said with a smile: "Murong, you are too murderous, our Qingluan Army is still too weak, and it can't even be compared with the Zhendong Army, these 70,000 people in Jinzhou are all battle-hardened soldiers, if we belong to the Qingluan Army, we will have the capital to compete with others." ”

Murong thought for a moment and said, "I understand what the county lord means, and his subordinates will do their best to create panic and chaos in Jinzhou City. ”

"You try to communicate with Song Jian to see what his attitude is, I heard that this person has a lot of means, Jinzhou is well governed by him, if you can let him take the initiative to attach, I think this Jinzhou City will be in hand." Zhong Roulan looked in the direction of Jinzhou and said.

It was night, Song Jian had to lie on the bed to rest because of a back injury, suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, Song Jian fixed his eyes and saw that it was his personal guard, only to see him say softly: "My lord, there are three uninvited guests outside, they say that he is the person of the third lady." ”

"Three ladies?" When Song Jian heard this, he hurriedly struggled to sit up, the third lady was Zhong Roulan's title, and at this time, Zhong Roulan secretly sent someone to see him, which must have something to do with Jinzhou.

For the sake of prudence, Song Jian asked the guards to lead the three of them into the inner room, and after a while, he saw a man with a face armor walking in under the guidance of the guards.

Song Jian was a little unhappy, seeing people still wearing masks, where was a little frank.

I only heard a cold voice coming from the mask: "Lord Song, Murong Changfeng, the envoy of Luantai, is polite." ”

Song Jian was taken aback again, the Luantai envoy, this is Zhong Roulan's henchman and the code name of the spy, immediately became nervous and vigilant, and said, "I don't know what happened to Lord Murong coming to me?" ”

"I'm here to save Lord Song's life." Murong Changfeng's voice was extremely uncomfortable to listen to through the change of mask.

"Oh? I, Song someone, don't live well for Jinzhou, where can I save you, but Lord Murong doesn't know that General Fan is from the imperial court? Song Jian's tone was not polite.

"Song Gong really thinks so? If the Duke of Song is loyal to the Ling Dynasty, Murong Changfeng will be bound. ”

"Lord Murong doesn't have to beat around the bush, since you can easily enter Jinzhou City, there must be a lot of your internal responses in this city, so let's talk about it directly." Song Jian was very uncomfortable with talking to such a person.

"Lord Song is open, and he will no longer go around in circles, the county lord means that he hopes to live in peace with Lord Song."

"Peaceful? Does the county lord mean to let me dedicate the city? Song Jian was not surprised.

"Yes, how many state children are occupied by Jinzhou's 70,000 military horses, presumably Lord Song knows better than me, why should this family fight-for-tat, the fall of the Ling Dynasty is only a matter of time, who else in this world is more trustworthy in Chenguo?" Murong Changfeng admired Song Jian in his heart, and he could guess Zhong Roulan's intentions without any explanation.

"I'm just driving alone, it's General Fan who actually controls the power in Jinzhou, why don't you look for General Fan and look for me, but why?" Song Jian began to probe and bargained.

"Hahaha! Why did Lord Song ask knowingly, if I didn't know about the situation in the city, how could I come and talk to you in person? Murong Changfeng's voice was unpleasant.

Song Jian frowned, feeling a little disgusted by Murong Changfeng's smile, but Murong Changfeng's words entered his heart, thought for a while and said: "Lord Murong, I understand what the county lord means, and it seems that you have done a lot of research on me, and it is a great honor to be worthy of Song by the county lord, but what do you plan to do with Fan Lihu." ”

"Kill!" Murong Changfeng's answer was simple, but amazing.

Song Jian hesitated, no matter what Fan Lihu did to him, after all, because of Fan Lihu, this is the grace of knowing the situation, how can he watch him being killed, if he does this, wouldn't he be despised by the world.

Murong Changfeng saw Song Jian's hesitation, "Lord Song, is Lord Han Kou still familiar with it?" ”

"Lord Han is naturally familiar with it, the Ninghai County Guard, and he used to be the number one adviser in the state army." Song Jian was a little confused, but he didn't know why he mentioned Han Kou at this time, he knew that Han Kou was now the Qingluan Jiedu Envoy Sima and the history of the state assassin, what does this have to do with him.

"The county lord didn't want to say these words at this time, but I am a spy, everything is based on interests, if you are attached, the long history of this Qingluan Army Festival Embassy is yours, and the county lord appreciates your ability very much, and intends to let you be the assassin of Huizhou."

This time Song Jian was even more stunned, he thought that Zhong Roulan would let him concurrently serve as the Jinzhou Assassin History, and now this Huizhou Assassin History doesn't know where to start, "Lord Murong, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that Fan Lihu has the grace of knowing the next, and I really can't bear it." ”

"Fan Lihu also has the grace of knowing Lord Han, but you must be clear about what happened to Lord Han, Lord Han asked me to bring you a word, and you should continue to suffer from it." Murong Changfeng's tone was full of indifference.

Song Jian was silent, Murong Changfeng was not in a hurry, just waited quietly, and after a while Song Jian said: "Please tell the county lord, Song is not that stubborn person, as long as the county lord agrees to give Fan Lihu a gift, Song is willing to serve the county lord." ”

At this time, there was a silver bell-like laughter outside the door, and then a person walked in with a person dressed as a follower, Song Jian saw that it was a woman through the faint light, and Murong Changfeng's respect for this woman made Song Jian guess who it was at once, this woman was so bold.

Song Jian stood up with difficulty and arched his hand: "Song Jian has seen the county lord. ”

The person who came was Zhong Roulan, only to hear Zhong Roulan say with a smile: "I understand Lord Song's thoughts, I, Zhong Roulan, am not an unreasonable person, I agreed to your request, and I will send someone to send Fan Lihu to Duan Wan." ”

"Song Jian thanks the county lord for his great grace!" Song Jian is down-to-earth this time, firstly, he has seen the main master, secondly, he admires Zhong Roulan's behavior very much, going deep into the tiger's den is not something that anyone can do, and thirdly, it is time for his future and ideals to finally come out, and he sincerely bows to Zhong Roulan.

"Lord Song, please get up, since we are all a family, how many days will it take you?" Zhong Roulan and politeness have always had no fate.

Song Jian thought for a while and said: "Three days, after three days, I promise that Jinzhou will open the city gate to welcome the Qingluan army into the city." ”

Zhong Roulan nodded and said, "Well, I'll give ten days to straighten out the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou, and then go to Xizhou with me in ten days, don't let Duan Wan think too much." ”

Song Jian was stunned, this woman was too crazy, she never put Jinzhou in her eyes, her target was Xizhou, but it had already worked, so just follow it, "My subordinates understand." ”

"By the way, you don't want to follow the army after you arrive in Huizhou, the counties in Huizhou are in a mess, you can fix it, and build me a beautiful Chenyang County Lord's Mansion in Xin'an County, understand?" Zhong Roulan said lazily.

"The county lord is going to move the Jiedu envoy to Huizhou?" Song Jian asked.

"Why else do you think I'm running so far? If you don't mention it, I forgot it, I remembered clearly that I was stationed a heavy army in the county, you guys go and get busy, I will find a place to rest here with you, and wait for your good news. After saying that, Zhong Roulan walked away with a grin.

Song Jian was dumbfounded, this woman didn't plan to leave at all.

"This is the county lord, it's good to get used to it in the future." Murong Changfeng's cold voice came from the side.

"Lord Murong, how do I need to cooperate with you?" Song Jian really didn't want to talk to him more, and he shivered all over his body.

"Lord Song, you are busy with you, Luantai has its own affairs in Luantai, this is the rule, I will say goodbye." After saying that, Murong Changfeng left, he knew that the spy would not be treated well at any time.

Suddenly, Song Jian stopped him and said, "Lord Murong still thinks about the north in his heart? ”

Murong Changfeng didn't answer, just paused, and then Song Jian asked: "The county lord said that we are all a family, is Lord Murong still unwilling to show his true face?" ”

I saw Murong Changfeng turn around and gently take off his mask to Song Jian, that face directly startled Song Jian, only to see Murong Changfeng smile slightly and said, "It's not that I don't dare to show my true face, I'm afraid of scaring you." ”

Before Song Jian could react, Murong Changfeng had already disappeared into the night, Song Jian moved to the bed and was thinking about contacting everyone, and suddenly Zhong Roulan's explanation of his heavy garrison in Yanjun flashed in his mind, and he didn't figure it out for a long time, and when he raised his head and moved his muscles, he just saw the map on the wall, and he understood.
