Chapter 543: The Wedding (7)

"Shizi, although the rebels in Xuzhou have been pacified, the garrison in Xuzhou has been completely disabled, and the demon clan in the south is eyeing it, and it is very likely that they will directly cross Jiaozhou to attack Xuzhou. Shizi, Xuzhou must have a strong figure to guard, otherwise Xuzhou will be in chaos. Cao Bao knelt on the ground and said to Liu Fan, the last time the rebels in Yanzhou entered the hinterland of Xuzhou, Xuzhou's troops were already very weak, and the power of Xuzhou was finally pacified without foreign aid, but the original forces in Xuzhou were also lost.

The rebellion in Xuzhou completely made Tao Qian and Cao Bao realize the facts in front of them, the rebellion in Xuzhou is not only this, those shili hidden on the ground may completely subvert the struggle for power in Xuzhou at any time in an outbreak. Tao Qian and Cao Bao both knew that they were not the materials to dominate the world, and if it weren't for the Shili of the two families in Xuzhou, they would not have been able to do this position of assassin and town guard general. After recognizing the facts in front of them, as soon as the two of them put together, they planned to take advantage of Liu Fan's marriage to completely hand over the military and political power in Xuzhou, so as to protect the interests of the two families in Xuzhou.

"Shizi, now Xuzhou is terminally ill. Most of the people in various places have been bewitched by the cult, and it is very likely that a large-scale riot will start again, and if it really comes by that time, Xuzhou will be completely destroyed. And the prince's Yangzhou is also very likely to become a direct target of the other party, the prince, Xuzhou must be handed over to you to govern us to rest assured. Tao Qian also said on the side, of course Liu Fan knew what these two people meant, Tao Qian and Cao Bao were very big in Xuzhou. If there is going to be turmoil in Xuzhou. The first to bear the brunt is these big families and big families.

These so-called great families and magnates have monopolized the power of the empire for thousands of years. Although the empire also has a system of imperial examinations and a system of military merit, in the face of a huge population base, how many people can climb to the top of the empire by relying on the imperial examination system and the military merit system? In the historical records of the empire, there are only a few thousand, that is, only a few people in a year, and most of these people have already taken refuge in some wealthy nobles in advance before they can be promoted.

The people of the empire had long been dissatisfied with this system, but the prosperity of the empire masked these contradictions, but once the empire started unleashed unrest. The people who have long been dissatisfied will inevitably attack these wealthy nobles, not to mention that the situation will get worse under the provocation of people with intentions. And at present, after Liu Fan, who can help Xuzhou get out of the predicament, Liu Fan's fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, and elite soldiers are sitting in Xuzhou, even if those people want to mess up, they have to see how much ability they have. Tao Qian and Cao Bao thought very clearly, if they didn't hand over power, sooner or later Liu Fan's army would conquer Xuzhou, and Shili would shuffle the cards at that time. They will not get anything.

The benefits obtained by the Jingzhou Kuai family and the Su family in the hands of Liu Fan made the two families very happy, and the idea of the two of them was supported by all the Xuzhou heroes as soon as they said it. There is no more reliable person in troubled times than a strong monarch. It's not that they don't want to choose Zhang Rang and other warlords, it's just that the Liu family's army has become stronger and stronger in previous battles, and its territory is getting bigger and bigger. If they still hug the thighs of Zhang Rang and the others, then the result will be a pity, they don't even have a chance to fight back in the face of the army of the Liu family, not to mention that Liu Fan has married the daughter of the Marquis of Fengwu, and the Jiaozhou Corps is very likely to defect to Liu Fan.

Rather than waiting to be beaten into Xuzhou by the Liu family's army, it is better to hand over Xuzhou as soon as possible, so that not only can they ensure the benefits they have obtained in Xuzhou, but also because of the exchange of interests, they can also get new benefits or part of the conditions from Liu Fan's hands in exchange, of course, they also know very well that Liu Fan will garrison troops and send people to manage Xuzhou, but no matter what the purpose of these two local snakes, Liu Fan will definitely continue to let them stay in office.

"General Pan, why are you doing this?" Liu Fan shifted the topic to Pan Feng, Jizhou is very far away from Yangzhou, even if Liu Fan wants to hit Jizhou, it is not something that can be done within a year or two, and there is also a Yizhou between the two, and now Shili's huge sea tribe occupies Yizhou, and wants to expel the sea tribe, I am afraid that this war will not end in a few years, and the other is that Pan Bao handed over the military power, then he will completely lose support in Jizhou, you must know that Jizhou can be the nest of the square horn, once the square horn rises, Jizhou will fall even if there is a million army。 Jizhou is a large amount of grass in the north, how can Dong Zhuo, the king of the north, let go of this piece of fat, no matter from which aspect, Pan Feng's surrender to Liu Fan is also an absolutely unwise move.

"Shizi, I, Pan Feng, have been loyal to the royal family as soon as I am effective, and now the royal family is trapped in the imperial capital, and now the prince is the only person in the royal family who can save the world, and the last general is willing to take refuge in the left horse pawn under the command of the prince, before and after the saddle, I will definitely refuse, and ask the prince to take him in!" Pan Feng did not say many reasons that made Liu Fan feel good, in his opinion, a reason to be loyal to the royal family was enough.

"General Pan, can you think about it clearly? Jizhou is not better than Xuzhou, I can't give you more help?" Liu Fan looked at Pan Feng, although he didn't know what made Liu Fan choose to believe in Pan Feng, but Liu Fan still decided to accept Pan Feng's talisman, even if Jizhou fell, as long as there was a talisman in hand, no matter when Liu Fan could enter Jizhou, it would be justified, and now the only thing Liu Fan was worried about was how to keep Pan Feng's army.

"I'm afraid there's one thing I'm going to disappoint the son. Pan Feng's tone was a little low and said: "Today's Jizhou garrison has long been infiltrated by demons like the Sun Moon God Sect, I can't mobilize this army, the army loyal to me is already on the way here, 400,000 garrisons, a certain general can only control 20,000 people." ”

Sure enough, Pan Feng's words did not exceed Liu Fan's expectations, Jizhou is the territory of Fangjiao, no matter what, the 400,000 army is bound to be controlled by Fangjiao, and it is not easy for Pan Bao to control Liang Wan's army. However, it is not easy for these 20,000 troops to drive to Yangzhou, any interception is enough to destroy these 20,000 troops, especially the square corners of Jizhou will not watch these 20,000 troops transfer out of Jizhou.

"General Pan doesn't need to care, you are still the town guard general of Jizhou, one day we will hold high the royal flag and fight back to Jizhou, only we are the victors of Zuihou!" Liu Fanjian Pan Feng helped him up, and said to Pan Feng with confidence. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
