Chapter 141: Fan Zeng goes to Muling Pass
After making the decision to recruit Zhang Han, Fusu sent close guards and asked them to invite Fan Zeng over.
An hour later, the guards led Fan Zeng into the rest place of Fusu in Shanglin Garden, and at this moment Fusu was quietly waiting for Fan Zeng's arrival in the pavilion.
After seeing Gongzi Fusu, Fan Zeng leaned over and saluted Fusu. After Fusu returned the ceremony, he couldn't wait to invite Fan Zeng to sit down on the pu mat, and then told Fan Zeng about Mulingguan.
"I am in a hurry to invite Mr. this time, there is indeed a tricky matter that Mr. needs to do, I wonder if Mr. knows about the war in Donghai County?"
After Hu Hai's death, these counties that originally belonged to Hu Hai's rule were almost swallowed up by Jiangdong for a while, but because the battle line was too long, there were nearly a million hungry people in Donghai County who needed to be appeased, coupled with Zhang Han's stubborn resistance, so Jiangdong finally had to reluctantly shrink his forces, and finally only retained and occupied Jiujiang and other three counties adjacent to Jiangdong, as for the other counties, due to the attack of mountain bandits and bandits and Zhang Han's department, Almost all of them were taken back by Zhang Han's subordinates or mountain bandits. In just a few months, Jiangdong's advantage in the East China Sea counties was exhausted under the erosion of Zhang Han's troops and mountain bandits.
In the end, it was the achievement of Zhang Han, making Zhang Han the largest force in the East China Sea Prefectures. At this moment, Zhang Han was relying on the dangerous Muling Pass in Donghai County to stop the Jiangdong Army, and successfully blocked the Jiangdong Xiang clan outside the Muling Pass.
The reason why Fusu did not rush to tell Fan Zeng about the war in Donghai County, but first asked Fan Zeng if he knew about the war between Zhang Han of Donghai County and Jiangdong Xiang, in fact, there were two intentions:
First: Fusu wants to find out in advance how much Fan Zeng is concerned about the war between Zhang Han and Jiangdong Xiang in Donghai County by asking, if Fan Zeng knows something about these things, then it is logical to send Fan Zeng to recruit Zhang Han, if Fan Zeng does not pay attention to the matter between Zhang Han and Xiang, Fusu will dispel the idea of sending Fan Zeng to recruit Zhang Han, after all, sending a person who does not care about the current situation in Donghai County to Donghai County will not only be useless, but even counterproductive.
Second: At present, the battle situation in Donghai County is still unknown, although the Jiangdong Xiang clan and Zhang Han's department have their own damage, but the main force still exists, although Fusu is always paying attention to the war in Donghai County, but the battle situation is unclear, and the two main forces are still there, they will never intervene militarily in the dispute between the two of them.
In Fusu's view, the best result at the moment is that Zhang Han and Xiang continue to fight, and it is best for the two families to fight with all their might, and when these two families are exhausted, he will send two armies to strangle Zhang Han and the remnants of Jiangdong respectively, take back the Donghai counties in one fell swoop, and expel the Xiang family from the Donghai counties once and for all, and completely trap them in Jiangdong.
At this time, Fusu asked Fan Zeng, because he took a fancy to Fan Zeng's calm and unwilling cleverness, and wanted Fan Zeng to come up with a plan that could not only attract Zhang Han, but also enable Qin to avoid premature intervention in the war in the East China Sea.
Although Fusu's calculations are good, Fan Zeng is not an ordinary person, as soon as Fusu opened his mouth to ask about the war in Donghai County, Fan Zeng had already judged Fusu's intentions from Fusu's inquiry.
"Yu Gongzi, for the battle between Zhang Han and Xiang's family, the old minister has heard of it, if the minister's guess is not bad, the son has already planned about the affairs of Donghai County in his heart, I don't know if what the old minister said is right?"
Fusu looked at Fan Zeng with a sneer, and shook his head awkwardly, "Hahaha...... you old slippery head, you don't answer my question, but you still have to ask me, it is worthy of Fan Zeng!" ”
"Well, since Mr. is curious, let's let Fusu answer Mr.'s question first! At present, Jiangdong and Zhang Han's department are in a state of stalemate, Zhang Han led the army to refuse to defend Muling Pass, although Zhang Han can still block Xiang Yu for a few days for the time being, I am afraid that as time goes by, Zhang Han will not be able to withstand Jiangdong Xiang Yu's bravery, Muling Pass was broken by Xiang Yu, and at that time Zhang Han's ending was to be killed or surrendered to Xiang Yu. With Mr.'s intelligence, he must also be able to think of the danger of Zhang Han's defeat in Jiangdong to my Great Qin. Fusu doesn't hide it from Mr., this time Mr. Zhao is here, just for one thing: I want to send Mr. to Donghai County to recruit Zhang Han, I only have one request, not only to let Zhang Han work for my Daqin, but also not to drag my Daqin into the war in Donghai County, Fusu knows that this matter is difficult, and only a great talent like Mr. can promote this matter, I don't know if Mr. is willing to go to Donghai County? ”
Seeing that Fusu and Pan had revealed his plan, Fan Zeng did not rush to agree, but thought about it seriously, according to Fusu's plan, not only to recruit Zhang Han, so that Zhang Han would willingly resist Jiangdong for Daqin, but also to remove Daqin from this war, it is indeed not easy to stay out of the matter, even if Fan Zeng is witty, it is impossible to come up with a foolproof strategy overnight.
As for Fusu's praise such as "Only a talent like Mr. can contribute to this ......", Fan Zeng will not be easily fooled, if anyone believes the edge of these deep pits, they will be sorry for Fusu's chicken thieves if they don't fall into Fusu's big pit.
"Childe, this fact is not easy, the old minister can't think of a plan for a while, people say that the wisdom of the son is close to God, the old minister is deeply concerned, and I also ask the son to give me some pointers, so that Fan Zeng has a direction."
Fu Susheng glanced at Fan Zeng unlovingly.
"I fooled you and wanted you to go to Donghai County, but you did a good job and buried the pit I dug for you intact, how can you let me break it?" Fusu secretly said to himself.
However, the discussion is the belly, and the truth that should be told still has to be told, Fusu had no choice but to say to Fan Zeng the truth: "If Fusu had a plan, where would he invite Mr. here, he would have gone straight to Muling Pass." ”
