Chapter 157: Fan Zeng enters the customs
Seeing that he could not have an advantage in debating with Fan Zeng who was the right reunification of Fusu and Hu Hai, Zhang Han changed his thinking, and instead of dwelling on this issue, he took the initiative to lead the topic to what Fan Zeng said to them at the beginning that Donghai County was in danger.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, I think it is not very important to argue about who is the successor of the first emperor and Hu Hai at the moment, you and I don't have to rush to fight for a high and low, Mr. Shicai once said that my Donghai County is in danger at the moment, and there are troubles, I am very puzzled in the next, forgive me for ignorance, and please explain one or two, with Mr. Dacai, I think that I will not deceive in the next, my Donghai County must be really in trouble, and please Mr. on this matter, if Mr. can tell a reason, Zhang Han is willing to ask Mr. to enter the customs, If Mr. can't say one or two, it will be a bit insulting to the reputation of Mr. and your son-in-law, after all, the courtier is not the master, and the person who knows people is unknown?
After Zhang Han finished speaking, Fan Zeng, who was downstairs, paused, then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a smile appeared, and he shook his head with relief.
It turned out that Fan Zeng was a little too worried about his previous verbal stimulation of Zhang Han, afraid that Zhang Han would not be able to stand his verbal stimulation and leave angrily, but at this moment, seeing that Zhang Han did not leave angrily, Fan Zeng relieved himself, he didn't expect that the bearing capacity of this product was okay, and he was willing to lick his face and listen to Fan Zeng give him an analysis of his current situation.
Seeing Zhang Han putting on a deferential look on the upper floor, Fan Zeng was very happy, if you pat your ass and leave in the morning, I really can't do anything about you, but you are good, and if you don't leave, then I can only convince you.
After sorting out his thoughts, Fan Zeng began to analyze the situation in Donghai County for Zhang Han.
"General Zhang Han, I think that your Donghai counties were originally Daqin counties, and the puppet emperor Hu Hai stole the throne and stood on the east side of my Daqin, it stands to reason that Hu Hai's behavior is a disaster to the country and the people, and my son-in-law should be exterminated as soon as possible. Helplessly, Hu Hai and my son-in-law are both the heirs of the first emperor, not long after the death of the first emperor, the heirs fought and feared that the first emperor's wisdom would be injured, and my son-in-law was pure and filial piety, so he did not send troops to suppress it, but tolerated Hu Hai to cut the land and stand on his own. Dare to ask the general, with the elite combat power of my Great Qin Division, if Gongzi really wants to exterminate Donghai County, can he stop it with the strength of Donghai County? Speaking of this, Fan Zeng paused, no longer spoke, but looked at Zhang Han calmly.
Hearing Fan Zeng's words, although Zhang Han didn't say anything, his face showed a gloomy look, and with the gloomy look on his face, he knew that he still agreed with what Fan Zeng said in his heart.
In just a few years, first defeated the Xiongnu head Mandanyu, recovered the land of several counties in Hexi, and then cleanly recovered the land of several counties in Nanyue, and took the opportunity to encroach on the land of Jiangdong, the Xiang father and son had almost no power to parry, a mighty army with such a record, as long as the people were willing to help Su, I am afraid that at this moment, the Muling Pass under their feet, as well as the land of several counties in the East China Sea, would have long been people's.
Even if Zhang Han is no longer willing to admit what Fan Zeng said, he has to admit that what Fan Zeng said is true, after all, where is the military strength of Great Qin, what's the point of not admitting it?
"General Zhang Han, you were a good general under the command of the first emperor, and in desperation, you did the rebellion of the puppet army Hu Hai, and now the puppet emperor Hu Hai is dead, and the general is in a rootless tree, if the general wants to resist the erosion of Jiangdong with this lonely city and tens of thousands of tired divisions, I am afraid it will be difficult, and the disasters are endless;
First, although the general is brave, but the general's name is not right, let me ask the general, in what name will you resist the Jiangdong Xiang clan, for Daqin, Hu Hai is dead, everyone in the world knows that the prince of Daqin Fusu is orthodox, and the name of Hu Hai naturally does not work; If it is for yourself, it will be even more impossible, if then your infamy of usurpation will be carried to the end, and then how will the people of the world view the general.
Second, the general's move has almost no chance of winning, and if the general can get lucky enough to block the Jiangdong Xiang clan's military peak, it will also be a dead end. Compete with the Xiang clan, there will inevitably be many lost soldiers, even if you win the Donghai County soldiers, they are miserable, and the combat power is even more exhausted, if at that time my son-in-law sends the Great Qin Tiger Army, come to attack and kill the general's tired army, dare to ask the general if he still has the strength to fight? General Zhang Han, in such a situation, such a situation, can the general still think that Donghai County is peaceful and there is no disaster? ”
Under Fan Zeng's seemingly soft but aggressive questioning, Zhang Han had already lost his previous calm mentality, especially the threatening words that Fan Zeng said at the end, which completely broke Zhang Han's mental defense, and it was not a threat, nor a conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy, even if Fan Zeng had told him in advance that Fusu would send troops to attack and kill them when they were defeated by the Jiangdong Xiang clan, he was helpless.
According to Fan Zeng's analysis, Donghai County is indeed in danger, and after thinking about this, Zhang Han couldn't help but be a little decadent, looking at Fan Zeng and his people under the city with dull eyes, and began to think about his own way out.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Han instructed the lieutenant general beside him: "Pass my order, open the gate, and welcome Mr. Fan Zeng and his entourage into the pass, as for the tiger army outside the pass, don't welcome them in first." ”
After receiving Zhang Han's order, the deputy general immediately turned around and went to the gate to convey Zhang Han's order to the gatekeeper, for fear that Zhang Han would regret it later.
Just as the lieutenant turned to leave, a look of joy appeared on his face, and it was obvious that his heart was inclined to surrender to Fusu. Not only this deputy general, but all the soldiers who heard the news that Zhang Han opened and closed the door to welcome Fan Jincheng all showed joy on their faces, which showed that they were looking forward to returning to Daqin in their hearts.
After a stick of incense, the door of Muling Pass slowly opened, and a general walked out of the pass with several soldiers and soldiers, and went straight to Fan Zeng's place.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, what is this?" Seeing that there were Mulingguan soldiers coming to his side, the commander of the Tiger Army who was accompanying Fan Zeng asked suspiciously.
"Don't worry, presumably Zhang Han has already listened to what I said, and as expected, these people are here to invite us to enter the customs."
After a few breaths, the person rushed to Fan Zeng's place and saluted Fan Zeng, "Mr. Fan Zeng, my general, please ask Mr. and his party to enter the customs for a while." ”
Knowing that these horses and horses were really here to invite themselves and their party into the customs, the tiger army glanced at Fan Zeng with admiration, and then turned around and gave the order to enter the city to the tiger army behind him.
Seeing this scene, the general who came to convey Zhang Han's order was a little flustered, and said to Fan Zeng timidly: "Mr. Fan Zeng, this time my general only allows Mr. and a few entourages to enter the customs, and these sergeants are afraid to stay outside the customs." ”
After the soldiers who did not come to deliver their orders finished speaking, Zhou Yu, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, interrupted rudely, "Nonsense, only let my husband bring a few people into the city, it's not that you want to trap my husband, if so, this Mu Lingguan and my husband will not enter." ”
"General Zhou Yu don't be impatient, this time I am here on the order of Gongzi, it can be said that the mission is important, we must not ruin Gongzi's major affairs just by a momentary will, since people let me bring a few entourages into the customs, then Fan Zeng will do it, and please lead the general to stay outside the pass, don't make another incident."
"Sir, if you wait for you to enter this Muling Pass, what if Zhang Han has ill intentions towards you?"
"General Zhou Yu, think about it, I came to meet Zhang Han with the mission of the son this time, even if Zhang Han is bold, he will not dare to openly harm us, unless he has the courage to tear his face with the son, general, think about it, is there anyone in this world who dares to provoke the son? The general just rest assured, with the son here, and you outside the Muling Pass, I will never worry about my life. ”
Under Fan Zeng's persuasion, Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up, but in the end, he viciously threatened and told the soldiers of Donghai County who came to greet Fan Zeng: "Go back and tell your general, if you dare to be unfavorable to my husband, you don't need my son-in-law to give an order, I will be the first to rush to Muling Pass and chop you." ”
After explaining all the affairs, Fan Zeng entered the Muling Pass with the soldiers who greeted them accompanied by dozens of guards, and because he was worried about Fan Zeng's safety, Zhou Yu also specially arranged for several brave men with good skills in the Tiger Ben Army to enter the customs with Fan Zeng to protect Fan Zeng's safety.
