Chen Zhi went to the mansion where Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's families lived, and the people in charge of monitoring there immediately reported the news to Sun Quan, Sun Quan did not take any action, but ordered them to continue to monitor, in his opinion, Chen Zhi was originally Liu Bei's subordinate, and after Liu Bei's death, he followed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to meet their families, which should also be.

However, Sun Quan was not at ease with Chen Zhi, so he also sent a team of people to monitor him.

Chen Zhi was vigorous and very vigilant, and as soon as Sun Quan sent someone to spy on him, he knew it as soon as possible. However, Chen Zhi still pretended not to know and walked around the streets.

Chen went shopping during the day and returned to the post house to rest at night, and the whole person lived a very regular life for two days in a row. The person who is responsible for monitoring Chen Zhi every day will report the situation to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan asked Chen Zhi to monitor Chen Zhi for another day, and felt that Chen Zhi had nothing abnormal, so he simply withdrew the personnel who monitored Chen Dao, and the province was discovered by Chen Zhi, and it was difficult to say when the time came.

However, Sun Quan still kept an eye on it, he withdrew most of it, leaving only two people in charge of monitoring Chen Dao, wanting to see if Chen Zhi would have any more dealings with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's families.

Chen Zhi is also smart, knowing that Sun Quan is sending people to monitor him, although some people were suddenly evacuated today, but no matter where he goes, there will still be people following, but the number of people is a little smaller.

Simply, Chen slept a lot during the day, and he didn't come out at night, and all the meals were sent into the house. After two days, those who were watching him also relaxed. Gradually, Chen Zhi didn't take it seriously. And Sun Quan also felt that there was no point in going on like this. All surveillance personnel were removed.

On Chen Zhi's fifth day in Nanchang City, when Chen Zhi was wandering the streets, he suddenly saw Xiang Lang and Peng Tuo appear in the crowd, and a group of soldiers led them directly to the place where Sun Quan was.

Chen Zhi had a relationship with Xiang Lang and Peng Tuo, and knew that these two people were people from Zhang Fei's side, and their sudden appearance here at this time immediately aroused his interest. So, Chen Zhi quietly followed. I have been waiting outside the mansion, wanting to know about Zhang Fei's situation.

Xiang Lang and Peng Tuo came to Nanchang this time, and they went through a lot of hardships, because when the boat they took walked to the territory of Jiangxia, the Han army blocked the entire Yangtze River, and all the ships could not go downstream. Bought two horses and disguised themselves as merchants along the way. trekking through mountains and rivers, this came to Nanchang City.

Sun Quan was looking through the letter sent back by Zhou Yu in the hall of the palace, in the letter, Zhou Yu's words revealed a dangerous signal, because the scouts sent by Zhou Yu had already found out the news that the Han army was actively preparing for war, and it was very likely that within a month, Zhang Yan would lead a large army to launch a comprehensive attack on Jiangdong, and hoped that Sun Quan could have a bottom in his heart and actively prepare for war, so that when the war came, he would have a plan to deal with it.

Since Zhang Fei's defeat and Guan Yu's death, the clouds of war have been hovering over Sun Quan's head, and in recent days, Sun Quan has been paying attention to Zhang Yan's movements, because this battle is inevitable.

Now, after reading Zhou Yu's letter, Sun Quan feels that the clouds of war are getting denser and denser, and his psychological side is becoming more and more nervous. Although the last time under his command, he successfully repelled the attack of the Han army led by Chen Deng, but at that time, only Chen Deng and a few sailors were dispatched, and there was a lack of elite soldiers and strong generals.

And this time is different, Zhang Yan personally led the army south, first captured Jingzhou, with Jingzhou as a springboard, with the Jingzhou naval army, you can go downstream, in addition, Zhang Yan also dispatched elite soldiers, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses stationed in Xunyang and Jinling, three ways to attack, water and land together, Jiangdong's troops are limited, it is very likely that they will not be able to cope with it.

Therefore, Sun Quan's heart has been very low for the past few days, and he doesn't know if he can survive this crisis.

"Alas!" Sun Quan sighed heavily, with a melancholy expression.

At this time, a personal soldier walked in from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he clenched his fists and said: "Qi Qi lord, Peng Tuo brought a gentleman named Xiang Lang, saying that it was a messenger sent by Zhang Fei, saying that there was something important to ask to see the lord!" ”

As soon as Sun Quan heard Zhang Fei's name, he immediately came to his senses, and then said to the pro-soldier: "Quick, let them in!" ”

Xiang Lang is a famous person in Jingzhou, but in Jiangdong, many people have mentioned Xiang Lang and recommended this person to Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Quan had just taken over the position of his brother Sun Ce, and there was no one around him who could be trusted, those people were Sun Ce's old subordinates, and they were not very optimistic about his position, most of them thought that Sun Quan was too young and had no experience, and they couldn't support Jiangdong at all, and most of them hoped that Zhou Yu would succeed Sun Ce.

Sun Quan needed talents the most at this time, and someone recommended Xiang Lang at that time, and Sun Quan also sent someone to Jingzhou to invite Xiang Lang, but Xiang Lang refused.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Quan heard Xiang Lang's name, he immediately became excited, and it was sent by Zhang Fei, which made him even more excited.

Not long after, Xiang Lang followed Peng Tuo into the hall together, and as soon as the two of them entered the hall, Peng Tuo took the lead in holding his fists and said: "The last general will see the lord!" ”

Sun Quan waved his hand and didn't speak, his eyes were focused on Xiang Lang's body, but seeing that Xiang Lang was forty or fifty years old, he was dressed very elegantly, and his appearance was dignified, which made people feel a little affinity after seeing it.

"Jingzhou Xiang Lang, I've seen General Sun!" Xiang Lang arched his hand.

"There is no need to be polite to Mr. Xiang, I have always admired Mr. Xiang's name for a long time, and I have never seen him. In the past, I also sent someone to Jingzhou to invite Mr., but unfortunately I was politely rejected by Mr., and now Zhongmou still has a brand in his heart, and now I can see Mr. Xiang himself, it is really a blessing for three lives. Sun Quan said politely.

Xiang Lang said: "General Sun is polite, Xiang is just a vain name, and he has no talent, even if he promised General Sun at that time, he can't help General Sun." General Sun, Xiang came this time at the request of General Zhang Fei to ask General Sun for his guilt! ”

"Please? What sin please? Sun Quan asked suspiciously.

Xiang Lang turned his head to Peng Tuo beside him and said, "Captain Peng, please take out the things that General Zhang Fei gave you and present them to General Sun." ”

Peng Tuo then took out a large wooden box from behind him, walked straight to Sun Quan, put the wooden box on the table in front of Sun Quan, and then said, "Uncle, please take a look." ”

Sun Quan glanced at the boxy wooden box and asked curiously, "What's in it?" ”

"It's a head, uncle." Pent replied.

"Head? Whose head? Could it be General Zhang, he ......" Sun Quan looked nervous, couldn't bear it anymore, and directly opened the lid on the wooden box, and a blood-drenched human head was impressively displayed in front of Sun Quan.

"It's ...... Zhu Ran? Sun Quan looked at the human head carefully, and felt that this person's appearance was so familiar, he took a brush on the pen holder on the table, and used the brush to pick up the hair that covered half of the human head, and immediately recognized whose human head it was, "Who is it, who killed him?" ”

"It's General Zhang!" Xiang Langdao.

"Zhang Fei? Why did he kill Zhu Ran? Where is Zhang Fei now? Didn't you go to Guangzhou? Sun Quan looked suspicious.

"General Zhang is still in Yuanling, Zhu Ran with two hundred elite cavalry, ambushed in a small town outside Yuanling City, and wanted to attack General Zhang, but General Zhang noticed it, and killed Zhu Ran first. In fact, at that time, Zhu Ran pretended to be a thief, and General Zhang just thought it was a thief, so he didn't think about it so much, and after knowing that the battle was over, he saw that this person was actually Lord Zhu Ran, the assassin of Guangzhou. Therefore, General Zhang asked me to take Zhu Ran's head to ask General Sun for his guilt! Xiang Lang's words are not leaky, and Zhu Ran's death has no proof, and Peng Tuo on the side has already obeyed Zhang Feiyan, is convinced, and loyal, so naturally he will not tell the truth.

Sun Quan frowned, glanced at Peng Tuo on the side, and asked coldly, "Is this the case?" ”

Peng Tuo didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

Sun Quan didn't know that Peng Tuo had already attributed to Zhang Fei, and thought that with Peng Tuo to testify, it seemed that this matter could not be wrong. However, Sun Quan's heart is very contradictory, a few days ago he also sent someone to Guangzhou to remove Zhu Ran's official position, let people escort him back, and did not want to kill Zhu Ran, but he was afraid of hurting Zhu Zhi's heart, although Zhu Zhi's martial arts are not high, his ability is mediocre, but he is his father's henchman, and once assisted Sun Ce to lay the foundation of Jiangdong, and Sun Quan has lived with Zhu Zhi since he was a child, although the two are not biological brothers, but the relationship is better than biological brothers, which is why Zhu Ran made mistakes several times, Sun Quan will forgive him for his sake.

Although Sun Quan has an elder brother and a younger brother, his elder brother Sun Ce matures too early, and his younger brother is too young, only Zhu Ran of the same age can play with him, so for a long time, Sun Quan regarded Zhu Ran as his own brother.

Therefore, no matter how angry Sun Quan was at Zhu Ran's mistakes, he never thought of killing him, but first removed him from his official position, summoned him to his side, and taught him personally.

However, this time, Zhu Ran became more and more out of line, and he even ran to assassinate Zhang Fei without anything, even if he handed it over to him for interrogation, he would not let Zhu Ran go lightly. But still didn't think about killing him.

It's good now, Zhu Ran stole the chicken and didn't make a handful of rice, and the sneak attack on Zhang Fei failed, but he was killed by Zhang Fei, and now Zhang Fei knows that he is guilty, and he sent someone to ask for guilt, so what should he do? (To be continued......)
