Xiang Lang welcomed Zhang Fei and Liu Xian into his home, and after some greetings, Xiang Lang took the initiative to ask: "I don't know why General Zhang came this time?" ”

Liu Xian was the first to speak: "Mr. Xiang, I can't hide it, General Zhang heard that Mr. Xiang lives here, so he has to come to visit Mr. Xiang, and I hope that Mr. Xiang can become a strategist by General Zhang's side, and plan for General Zhang sooner or later." ”

Zhang Fei continued: "Mr. Xiang, I am a rough person, and I usually don't pay much attention to etiquette, this time I came in a hurry, so I didn't bring any gifts, but Zhang came with a sincere heart, and I hope that Mr. Xiang can come out to help me." ”

After Xiang Lang listened, he didn't speak, but lowered his head, began to meditate for a while, and then said: "Although I don't leave home, I know a little about Jingzhou these days, first Cai's expulsion, then Liu Jingzhou's death, and then Jingnan's governor General Liu was also killed, and the situation in Jingzhou suddenly became turbulent. General Zhang has now taken refuge in Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and now he is against Jingzhou, let me ask, as a Jingzhou person, how can I follow General Zhang to deal with Jingzhou? ”

Zhang Fei and Liu Xian glanced at each other, Zhang Fei had already heard what Xiang Lang meant, and Xiang Lang didn't want to help him.

At this time, Liu Xian continued the conversation and said: "When Mr. Xiang was the county magistrate of Linfu County, he once offended Cai Mao because of official business, and then he was persecuted by Cai's family. Just ask. Such a Jingzhou pastor. How can Jingzhou be managed well? And the facts have proven it. During the period when Liu Biao served as the pastor of Jingzhou, although Jingzhou was said to have always been peaceful, in fact, was Jingzhou really peaceful? Mr. Xiang is also a smart person, and he should know the truth that the Taoist is the best man, and he should also know the wise saying that the good bird chooses the tree and perches, and the good day chooses the master and does things. Although General Zhang is now taking refuge in Sun Quan, it does not mean that General Zhang must obey Sun Quan's orders in everything. And General Zhang just wanted to use Sun Quan's forces. It's just revenge for the dead big brother. Let's talk about the current Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi, he is indiscriminate, just hearsay, he thinks that Liu Bei is the murderer of Liu Jingzhou, and also gave the order to punish the nine clans, so that many innocent people will be implicated, General Zhang also had to leave Jingzhou, if he stays in Jingzhou any longer, there will be only one death. How could Mr. Xiang meet General Zhang? ”

Liu Xian's words, Zhang Fei listened to it very well. When Xiang Lang heard this, he was a little distressed. Because, what Liu Xian said was the truth, he was persecuted by Cai Mao back then, and it was obviously a malicious frame-up, Liu Biao not only did not send someone to find out the truth, but also deliberately dismissed him. Xiang Lang was angry, so he left Xiangyang, moved his family to the more remote Lingling, and lived an incognito life in Quanling City.

However, Xiang Lang's departure did not bring Cai Mao and others to stop, but intensified, persecuting his entire family, and imposing charges on the Xiang clan for various purposes, most of the prestigious Xiang clan in Xiangyang were killed by Cai Mao, and only a few Xiang clan people were left in exile. Among them, Xiang Lang's parents, brothers, and sisters were persecuted to varying degrees, Xiang Lang's parents couldn't stand this blow and committed suicide one after another, and their brothers and sisters were all arrested and secretly killed, only his brother's two sons escaped by luck and are still missing.

As soon as he thought of these past events, Xiang Lang was heartbroken, blaming Liu Biao for his incompetence, resenting Cai Mao's rampant, and once vowed to kill Cai Mao to death. When Liu Bei served as the governor of Jingnan, Xiang Lang once had a relationship with Liu Bei under a pseudonym, and once offered Liu Bei a strategy to bring down the Cai family, but unfortunately Liu Bei did not have this kind of mind at that time, so Xiang Lang left with interest, waiting for the opportunity.

Later, Cai's was served to Liu Qi, Sima Yi and others, and after hearing it, Xiang Lang was really happy, so he dared to use his real name to show people.

However, because of Xiang Lang's resentment towards Liu Biao, Xiang Lang was unwilling to do anything for Liu Qi anymore, so when Sima Yi later sent someone to recruit him to Xiangyang as an official, Xiang Lang refused without hesitation.

After that, Xiang Lang has been in Quanling City until he met Liu Xian one day, and Liu Xian asked Xiang Lang to be his teacher, but Xiang Lang hated Liu, so he kept refusing Liu Xian.

Xiang Lang looked at Zhang Fei again, with a thoughtful look, and then said after a long time: "If General Zhang has to let me be a strategist, it's not impossible, but I have one condition, as long as General Zhang can do it, I am willing to help the general make suggestions." ”

Zhang Fei was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" ”

"My Xiang clan has been severely persecuted by the Cai family, in addition to me, I also have two nephews who are alive in this world, but so far I have been exiled to I don't know where to go, as long as General Zhang can help me find my two long-lost nephews, I will help the general to give advice." Xiang Langdao.

"Excuse me, what do Mr. Xiang's two nephews look like, what are their characteristics, and what are their names?" Zhang Fei asked.

Xiang Lang said: "My two nephews, the eldest is called Xiang Pet, the younger one is called Xiang Chong, the two are twin brothers, but the big one has a big black mole behind the left ear, and the small one has a black mole behind the right ear." In my impression, their appearance only stayed at the appearance of their twelve or thirteen years old, and now that a few years have passed, it should have changed, but in order to make it easier for the general to find them, I will draw a portrait of the two brothers for the general, which should be helpful to the general. ”

Zhang Fei said: "That's good, otherwise, if you look for a needle in a haystack, I really don't know how to find it." By the way, sir, can you provide us with some more about where your two nephews wandered? ”

Xiang Lang said: "I once asked someone to inquire, they ran to Yizhou at that time, but later when I asked someone to inquire about the situation in Yizhou, there was never their whereabouts, I think, they should still be in Yizhou now, but I don't know what the situation is in Ludao, or they are incognito." ”

Zhang Fei frowned, he couldn't help but feel that this matter was a little difficult, although he knew that Yizhou was in Yizhou, but Yizhou was so big, there were so many people, and they were incognito, and they didn't dare to show their real names, if they wanted to find them, they were simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, since Zhang Fei has made a promise to Xiang Lang, he will not regret it. But on second thought, should I also put forward a condition in exchange?

So, Zhang Fei said to Xiang Lang: "Mr. Xiang, this matter is on me, but it will take a long time to find someone, I can't guarantee how long it will take, but I will definitely do my best to find your two nephews." However, now I have a problem and need Mr. Xiang to help me solve it, I wonder if Mr. Xiang is willing? ”

Xiang Lang said: "General Zhang has promised to help me find my two nephews, I should also help General Zhang, General Zhang, if you have any trouble, just say it." ”

So, Zhang Fei released Pang Ji, but Zhu Ran arrested Pang Ji again, and then told Xiang Lang about the brutal killing, and then, Zhang Fei went to Zhu Ran to theorize, but Zhu Ran took Sun Quan to suppress himself, he wanted to teach Zhu Ran a lesson, but he didn't know how to start.

After listening to this, Xiang Lang first sighed softly, and then said: "It is also helpless for the general to send people under the fence, but if Zhu Ran is allowed to ride on the general's head and, how will the general gain a foothold in heaven and earth in the future?" Zhu Ran is a bully, just a dog by Sun Quan's side, but Zhu Ran's father Zhu Zhi is a loyal subordinate of the Sun family, Zhu Ran dares to be so arrogant, it is also because of the relationship between his family and the Sun family, if he wants to teach Zhu Ran a lesson, he will inevitably offend the Zhu family, does the general really plan to do this? ”

Zhang Fei said: "I'm not afraid of the Zhu family or the Zhu family, in short, this time I must let Zhu Ran learn a lesson, let him know that I am not so easy to mess with." Moreover, once I take revenge on my eldest brother, I will leave Sun Quan with my second brother, and now I am only temporarily working under him and taking revenge with the help of his troops. And Sun Quan is also using me and my second brother to carry out operations against Jingzhou, so we can be regarded as using each other. ”

Xiang Lang asked, "What does the general plan to do in the future?" I mean, after the revenge, where will the general go? ”

"I discussed it with my second brother, and after helping my eldest brother take revenge, I found a place where no one was, lived in seclusion, lived the life we wanted to live, and never be disturbed again. Big brother once had a dream to build a peaceful and prosperous world, but unfortunately the eldest brother died unexpectedly, otherwise, we would have succeeded. The second brother said, although the eldest brother is dead, but the dream is still there, we can inherit the dream of the eldest brother, although we can't build a peaceful and prosperous world, but we can find a place to live in seclusion, and turn that secluded place into a peaceful and prosperous world. This is the path that my second brother and I will take in the future. Zhang Fei said.

Xiang Lang sneered and said: "The world is so big, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, in this world, where is there no one?" Even if there is, once there are people, there will be all kinds of troubles, at the beginning, there may be no situation, but after a long time, the contradictions between people will be highlighted, and then it will be a place of right and wrong. General Guan and General Zhang are both fierce generals in the world, and they both have invincible bravery, and it is impossible to live a reclusive life. A person like a general should go to the battlefield, lead thousands of troops and horses, gallop across the battlefield, establish immortal feats, and go down in history, this is the destination that generals should have, not some seclusion. ”

Zhang Fei said: "I also yearn for this kind of day, but the eldest brother is dead, what big things can I do with my second brother?" ”

Xiang Lang said: "You can't say that, without General Liu, can't General Guan and General Zhang do something vigorous?" If the generals are willing, Jingnan will become the starting point for the two generals to establish immortal achievements! ”

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, Xiang Lang's words were very inflammatory, and he seemed to be a little interested, so he asked, "Sir, how do you say this?" (To be continued......)
