594 Burning Yangtze River (34)
As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, a scout walked into the hall with an urgent report, and said loudly to Sun Quan: "Lord, Zhu Ran is urgent!" ”
Sun Quan took the urgent report and hurriedly looked at it, and the expression on his face suddenly stiffened, because Zhu Ran said in the letter that Zhang Fei was going to lead the remnants of his troops into Sichuan and prepare to seize Yizhou.
This news made Sun Quan very conflicted in his heart after reading it, because Zhu Ran had wronged Zhang Fei once before, and he didn't know if it would be the same as the last time this time.
But judging from this news, Sun Quan felt that it was a little inconsistent with the facts, Zhang Fei's remnants did not have a thousand people, and it was impossible for him to lead these troops to seize Xichuan and occupy Yizhou. Although it is impossible to know how many soldiers and horses Liu Zhang has, in Sun Quan's view, if Liu Zhang does not have 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is not enough to deter the entire Yizhou. Moreover, 50,000 soldiers and horses is only the lowest number, in his opinion, Yizhou, which Liu Zhang occupies, is a treasure land of feng shui, and there will only be more soldiers and horses, not less.
Just imagine, Zhang Fei took the remnants of less than a thousand people to seize Yizhou, unless Liu Zhang ordered to give up a qiē resistance, let Zhang Fei with soldiers and horses directly arrive at the city of Chengdu, and Liu Zhang also named Zhang Fei to fight alone. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Zhang Fei is, he will not want to break through the barriers of Yizhou and reach the city of Chengdu.
After a while, Sun Quan casually threw Zhu Ran's letter in the corner of the table, and said angrily in his heart: "This Zhu Ran, I remember that his father has assisted my father and brother successively. It's a great credit to my grandson. Otherwise. He had already been beheaded. The last incident was already unpleasant, and I also asked Zhu Zhi to severely punish Zhu Ran, but I didn't expect him to still be unrepentant and tried to harm Zhang Fei again. Now that Guan Yu is dead, if Zhang Fei is made to escape by him again, I can't spare him! ”
So, Sun Quan still gave his own orders. Ordered someone to go to Guangzhou, first remove Zhu Ran from his post as the assassin of Guangzhou, and then bring him back to Nanchang, where he would personally punish him severely.
After the order was issued, Sun Quan asked Chen Zhi to stay in the city for a few days, and then imprisoned Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang in the dungeon in front of Chen Zhi.
After that, Sun Quan said some heart-warming words and asked Chen Zhi to stay in Nanchang for his use.
Guan Yu's death. Let Chen Zhi get a certain blow, he is absent-minded. But what Sun Quan said, he still nodded yes.
In the end, Sun Quan asked Chen Zhi to arrange for him to rest in the post house, and after Chen Zhi left, Sun Quan asked Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang to be released, so that the three of them could listen to it for the time being, and said that the qiē just now was all pretending to be done for Chen Zhi to see.
Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang were very grateful to Sun Quan, so naturally they had nothing to say, and said that they would never do such a thing in the future.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "The crime is only Zhu Ran, and it has nothing to do with you and others, but now that it is at a critical juncture, I have to deliberately do this in front of Chen Zhi, and I hope you will understand." These days, stay with me for the first time, and I will send you somewhere else if there is any movement. ”
In fact, in Zhou Yu's letter to Sun Quan, he also mentioned the pressure on Chaisang, Zhou Yu has elite soldiers, but there are no strong generals, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong are all young generals selected by Sun Quan from the army, and their martial arts are very good, so they can be sent to Zhou Yu for some training.
In contrast, they are better than Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others, after all, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai are all veterans, and their seniority in the army is too high, and they are unwilling to do things under Zhou Yu, while Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong and others are different, they are newly promoted generals, and they absolutely obey Sun Quan's arrangement.
After Chen Zhi said goodbye to Sun Quan, he first went to the post house, and then went directly from the post house to the place where Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's families lived.
Sun Quan arranged all the families of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in a courtyard to facilitate monitoring and management.
They live in a three-entry courtyard, Liu Bei's family lives in the innermost, Guan Yu's family lives in the outermost, and Zhang Fei's family lives in the middle.
Chen had come here once before, and he found it with the route in his memory, but he was not in a hurry to get in, but first walked around the village.
As a result, Chen Zhi found that there were many suspicious people outside the village, all of whom were disguised as vendors and watched every move in all directions. Although they tried their best to hide and hide, they were still visible to Chen Zhi at a glance, because their walking pace and posture were unique to soldiers. And there was a sharp edge in their eyes, which could not escape Chen Zhi's eyes, so that Chen Zhi could see it at a glance.
"Now that the second master is dead, and all of them are being monitored here, there are too many three families, and it is very difficult to take these people out......" Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart, "The second master is dead, and now I can only go to the third master, but where is the third master?" ”
Chen Zhi's head was so big that he couldn't think of how to bring these family members out, so he simply didn't want to, and swaggered towards the mansion first.
When Chen Zhi walked to the gate, he happened to meet Guan Xing and Zhang Bao dancing at the gate with guns and sticks in their hands, attacking each other, the sound of "Tototo" rang non-stop, and the two teenagers were fighting heartily, and they didn't see Chen Dao walking towards them at all.
Chen Zhi stopped at the gate, looked at Guan Xing and Zhang Bao intently, and saw that they were all worried, although they were all holding wooden sticks, but they were dancing with knife and spear techniques, and the moves used were all Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's moves, so he couldn't help but see that these two people had some shadows of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and looking at their skills, they were also very good.
Just when Chen Zhi was fascinated, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man ran out of the house, and when he saw Guan Xing and Zhang Bao fighting inextricably, he immediately reprimanded: "Stop it for me!" ”
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao didn't listen to this teenager at all, and kept fighting, without taking this teenager who ran out in their eyes at all.
The young man may have been in a hurry, picked up a wooden stick from the side, and joined the battle circle, stabbing left and right, and separated Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, he stood in the middle, looked at Guan Xing and Zhang Bao successively, and then said angrily: "Don't let you fight, can't you hear it?" ”
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao said in unison: "He hit me first!" ”
The young man said sharply: "A slap doesn't make a sound, both of you are responsible, next time I find you fighting like this, I will not be lighthearted!" Get back to my house! ”
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao both muttered, and walked into the house angrily, like a defeated rooster, in front of the young man, he didn't dare to have the slightest mouth.
When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao entered, the young man glanced at Chen Dao, who was walking towards him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Brother Chen, why are you here?" Did your father ask you to come? ”
This person is none other than Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping, who is a few years older than Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, so he is also more sensible.
Chen Zhi must know Guan Ping, he is not a few years older than Guan Ping, and he once studied martial arts with Guan Yu, which can be regarded as a brother-in-law relationship, so Guan Ping always calls Chen Zhi the eldest brother.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go inside!" Chen Zhi grabbed Guan Ping and whispered.
Guan Ping's sharp eyes quickly scanned the surroundings outside the mansion, then nodded and said to Chen Zhi: "Brother Chen, you come in with me!" ”
Chen Zhi followed Guan Ping into the house, and after coming to the living room, Guan Ping instructed the maid to serve tea, so he lifted the tea and said to Chen Zhi: "Brother Chen, you also know that my father has always forbade us to drink, so there is only tea at home, and there is no alcohol, please forgive Brother Chen." ”
Chen Zhi said: "It's okay. I don't usually drink much. By the way, what happened at the door just now, do Guan Xing and Zhang Bao often fight like this? ”
Guan Ping said: "Well, the two of them are the naughtiest, and they often cause trouble, but neither of them is convinced, Guan Xing said that my father is the most powerful, Zhang Bao said that his father is the most powerful, and the two of them can't argue, so they fight, not once or twice." However, although Brother Chen is relieved, they are still young, and when they are older and understand some things, they will not be what they are now. ”
Chen Zhi nodded and said, "The second master and the third master are not here, the entire mansion has to rely on you alone, and you have to manage the affairs of the three families, which is really difficult for you." ”
"It's not embarrassing, usually these trivial matters at home are handled by my aunt, and I am mainly responsible for taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, as long as they don't cause trouble, there is nothing in the house." Guan Ping Road.
"The third lady is dignified and virtuous, and it is difficult for her." Chen Zhi knew that the aunt Guan Ping was talking about was Zhang Fei's wife, Mrs. Xiahou, Mrs. Xiahou was Xiahou Yuan's niece, Zhang Fei met Mrs. Xiahou by chance, and since then they have become husband and wife, which is also a good story.
Then, Chen Zhi changed his words and immediately asked, "This place has been closely monitored by Sun Quan's people, do you know?" ”
"Know! But we can't help it, after all, it's under the fence. Guan Ping said.
Chen Zhi said: "This time, the second master sent me to take you all away, you stay in the mansion for a few days, and after I think of a way, I will take you away." ”
Guan Ping said excitedly: "Really? ”
Chen Zhi nodded, but he never dared to tell Guan Ping the news of Guan Yu's death, for fear that they would not be able to accept this fact.
Subsequently, Chen Zhi said goodbye to Guan Ping, returned to the post house alone, and began to rack his brains to think of a way to rescue them. (To be continued......)
