546Jingzhou changed hands(18)

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Lang was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said to Zhang Fei: "General, we made a bet before, have you forgotten?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "I haven't forgotten. But he doesn't want to surrender, and I can't help it, if I don't kill him, after I let him go back, he will still deal with me the same. ”

Xiang Lang said: "Fu Xun is a very famous celebrity in Jingzhou, if the general kills him, it will make the rest of Jingzhou's celebrities feel cold." The matter of Pang Ji must not be repeated. It's better for the general to hand over Fu Xun to me, and I'll persuade him, but I won't surrender anymore. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Okay, Mr. Xiang, I will only give you one day, at this time tomorrow, if Fu Xun does not surrender, everything will be up to me." When the time comes, Mr. Xiang, don't say that I didn't save face for you......"

Xiang Lang nodded.

Zhang Fei then led the army, and under the warm welcome of Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi, the fish penetrated into the city, and the people in the entire Linyuan City were also welcomed, which was very lively.

Fu Xun, who is the Taishou of Wuling, couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart when he saw such a scene, when he came, there was no such grand scene, how could Zhang Fei be treated like this. Moreover, the smiles on the faces of those people do not seem to be faked.

Xiang Lang saw Fu Xun's puzzled face, so he walked to Fu Xun's side and whispered: "Don't forget, Liu Bei used to be the Taishou of Wuling, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been here much longer than yours." ”

"Oh...... No wonder! Fu Xun suddenly realized.

Xiang Lang personally untied Fu Xun and said to Fu Xun: "Brother Fu, let's go!" ”

Fu Xun was taken aback. He asked, "You...... You just let me go? ”

Xiang Lang nodded.

"But. After you let me go. Zhang Fei: How should you explain there? Fu Xun asked worriedly.

Xiang Lang said: "I am just Zhang Fei's staff, not his subordinates, I can do it or not." But Brother Fu's life safety is important, I will let you go, Zhang Fei will say two words to me at most, and he will not dare to do anything to me. ”

"No, I can't absolutely implicate you!" Fu Xun said. "I'll go find Zhang Fei and let him deal with me."

Xiang Lang grabbed Fu Xun's hand and said to Fu Xun: "Brother Fu, you better get out of here as soon as possible, I'll take care of this place, Zhang Fei won't do anything to me over there." ”

Fu Xun said stubbornly: "No, I won't leave, I definitely can't affect you." ”

"If you don't leave, it's the biggest burden!" Xiang Langdao.

Fu Xun frowned, looking at Xiang Lang's anxious expression. Then he asked: "Brother Xiang, you and I are already acquainted." I used to work under Liu Jingzhou back then, and I also know everything about you, the reason why Liu Jingzhou dismissed you at the beginning was also a last resort, and Liu Jingzhou didn't know anything about what Cai Mao did. But even if Liu Jingzhou knew the truth, when the Cai party almost controlled the entire Jingzhou situation at that time, Liu Jingzhou was helpless. What's more, it has been so long since this incident, and later the eldest prince also redressed the grievances of your family, and also restored your reputation to the Xiang family, and even sent someone to take your two nephews to Xiangyang, just to make up for the mistakes made back then. But you, how can you follow Zhang Fei and openly deal with the eldest prince. Do you know who sent someone to assassinate Liu Jingzhou? ”

Xiang Lang and Fu Xun, once both served as officials in Xiangyang, when Liu Biao was just in charge of Jingzhou, he did everything himself, and he also humbly accepted advice, coupled with the increasing peace in Jingzhou, it has become the first choice for celebrities and scholars to avoid war, so a large number of celebrities poured into Jingzhou, and people were willing to rush for Liu Biao. And Xiang Lang and Fu Xun are also among them. At that time, Jingzhou could be called a happy land. But since Liu Biao married Cai, everything began to change, Liu Biao was nepotistic and handed over half of the soldiers and horses to Cai Mao, after that, Liu Biao indulged in Cai's gentle township every day, and began to gradually close himself off, not receiving outsiders very much, and he liked to let Cai Mao handle everything instead of himself.

Over time, Cai Mao became more and more emboldened, wantonly appointed Cai clan people, installed Cai clan people in various prominent positions, and later won over some local families, thus forming a huge party henchmen.

The Cai family is a wealthy family in Jingzhou, immigrants from all walks of life, three religions and nine streams of everything, Liu Biao has a big mind, as long as he comes to Jingzhou, he will make reasonable arrangements, and even divide the land for some poor people.

To a certain extent, this has damaged the interests of the local wealthy families in Jingzhou, and the immigrants from outside the country have started business, which can be described as high-quality and cheap, which has brought a lot of impact to the business monopolized by the local wealthy families. As a result, these wealthy families banded together, unanimously outward, began to exclude dissidents, and even used unfair means to compete in business.

All of this is based on Cai's family, and Cai Mao herself is personally involved. It's a pity that Liu Biao was kept in the dark, and he was stupid and was deceived by Cai Mao, saying that the people who emigrated were all homeless people, and they were very aggressive, which made Jingzhou's chickens and dogs restless, and it was recommended to use military means to suppress them.

Liu Biao believed that it was true, so he agreed to Cai Mao's request and ordered Cai Mao to start suppressing the exiles, as a result, tens of thousands of exiles were unreasonably oppressed by the Cai family and forced to become slaves of the Cai family and other wealthy families, and their land was also divided between the Cai family and others.

This incident caused Xiang Lang to be extremely dissatisfied, so he went to the government to see Liu Biao, and wanted Liu Biao to know the true situation of the whole matter. As a result, Xiang Lang did not see Liu Biao, but was stopped by the guards arranged by the Cai family at the door and did not let Xiang Lang in.

Xiang Lang had a straightforward temperament, and he was also a jealous and hateful person at that time, so he insisted on breaking in, but he had a conflict with the guard, and injured a guard by mistake.

Cai Mao then used this incident to make a fuss, bewitching Liu Biao to severely punish Xiang Lang, and Liu Biao's new wife Cai Shi blew the pillow wind, Liu Biao dismissed Xiang Lang without investigation and drove Xiang Lang out of Xiangyang.

After that, Xiang Lang was angry and publicized Cai Mao's actions everywhere, which had a very bad impact on Cai Mao's reputation, and Cai Mao was angry, so he sent someone to arrest Xiang Lang, but Xiang Lang had already run away without a trace. But he can run a monk, he can't run the temple, Xiang Lang is a native of Yicheng County, Xiangyang, and his ancestors have lived here for generations, and the Xiang family is also a wealthy family in Jingzhou, but because the Xiang family has been an official for generations, and the people in the family are all talented people, so they don't deal with the rest of the wealthy families.

Cai Mao took this opportunity to unite with the rest of the wealthy clan and took various means to persecute the Xiang clan, which directly led to the destruction of the Xiang clan and the removal of the entire clan.

Fu Xun mentioned the past, but also let Xiang Lang's mind recall a lot of unbearable past, the more I thought about Xiang Lang, the more aggrieved I felt, and said to Fu Xun: "The so-called person who knows the times is a handsome, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, and a good minister chooses the lord to do things, I just chose a path that I think is better." Although Cai Mao was the mastermind of what happened back then, if Liu Biao could be more shrewd, such a thing would never have happened, and then the 139 members of my Xiang family would not have been wrongfully killed in vain. This hatred, I didn't count him on Liu Biao's head, it is already the greatest mercy to him. You are embarrassed to say me, didn't you also get removed from your official position because you said the wrong thing back then? Don't you hate Liu Biao at all? ”

"What's the use of hate? Liu Biao is dead, and the current Jingzhou Mu is Liu Qi, the eldest son. The eldest prince is handsome and generous, and there is a young man named Sima Yi by his side, with the help of Jingzhou, over time, Jingzhou will definitely return to its former style. Liu Bei sent someone to assassinate Liu Jingzhou, this is a big rebellion, as Liu Bei's brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare to say that they don't know? If you keep following Zhang Fei like this, sooner or later you will regret it. Fu Xun said.

Xiang Lang frowned and said to Fu Xun: "If it weren't for the sake of my former colleagues, I wouldn't have interceded for you." Before I change my mind, let's go! ”

"I'm not leaving! I will never bother you. I, Fu Xun, stand upright and sit upright, and I don't need others to bear the consequences for me. But I also advise you, I will not surrender, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. Fu Xun said.

This time, Xiang Lang finally knew that Fu Xun had already put life and death aside, and did not persuade Fu Xun to surrender, but directly took Fu Xun into the city, preparing to meet Zhang Fei and hand it over to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei entered the city under the unanimous warm welcome of the soldiers and civilians of Linyuan City, and Shamoke and Peng Tuo, who came with Zhang Fei, had never seen such a scene, and they were also welcomed, and they were full of joy.

Jin Xuan welcomed Zhang Fei into the government and asked Gong Zhi to take Shamoke and Peng Tuo to the military camp to settle down.

As soon as Zhang Fei and Jin Xuan walked into the hall of the mansion with their front feet, Xiang Lang followed in with Fu Xun's hind feet, and Lang shouted: "General Zhang, Fu Xun refuses to surrender, so it's up to you to send it down!" ”

Zhang Fei turned his head, first glanced at Xiang Lang, and saw that Xiang Lang's face was full of anger, and Fu Xun's face was not very good-looking, so he asked, "Mr. Xiang, is something wrong?" ”

"Nope!"

Zhang Fei said: "Since there is not, then bother Mr. Xiang to continue to persuade Fu Xun to surrender, anyway, I gave Mr. Xiang a day, and within this day, I will not interfere with your affairs." By this time tomorrow, Mr. Xiang will come back and tell me if Fu Xun is willing to surrender. ”

After Fu Xun heard this, he immediately said impatiently: "Zhang Fei, don't pretend, let me tell you, I will never surrender, you will die of this heart." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! (To be continued......)
