Zhu Zhi arrived in Changsha first with Sun Quan's letter of appointment, and read out Sun Quan's letter of appointment to Guan Yu, Guan Yu wanted to stay in Changsha for a few more days, but Zhu Zhi politely refused, because his destination was Lingling, and he had to go to Lingling to solve Zhu Ran's matter.

Guan Yu did not hold on any longer, and personally sent Zhu Zhi out of Linxiang City, and Zhu Zhi continued to Lingling by boat.

Two days later, Zhu Zhi finally arrived at Quanling, the county town of Lingling County, after Zhu Zhi arrived in Quanling, he did not read out Sun Quan's appointment letter, but first went to Zhu Ran's camp, scolded Zhu Ran fiercely, and then told Zhu Ran the content of Zhang Fei's letter, saying that Zhang Fei was an adult and did not care about villains, but Zhu Ran seemed a little small.

Zhu Ran heard his father's reprimand, silently lowered his head, and didn't dare to talk back, but he didn't thank Zhang Fei for this, but he became more and more disgusted with Zhang Fei in his heart. In his opinion, if Zhang Fei didn't write to Sun Quan, he wouldn't have been scolded and wouldn't have been treated like this.

When Zhu Ran learned that Sun Quan appointed Zhang Fei as the governor of Jingnan Zuo, he was even more angry, which showed that his efforts were in vain, and he led the army here, not only did not have any credit, but also made mistakes, and was even ordered by Sun Quan to rush back to Guangzhou and hand over the command of the army to Zhang Fei.

Why? Why did he Zhang Fei become the governor of Jingnan when he first arrived, and he worked hard to make great contributions to the Sun family, but he had to suffer such a blow?

Zhu Ran's heart is extremely unbalanced, but now he is helpless, he also knows his father's temper, if he openly contradicts it, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Let a sleeping dog lie. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Zhu Ran felt. He has a chance in the future, and he swallowed this breath for the time being. Gou Jian has been lying on his salary for 20 years, how long has he been?

Subsequently, Zhu Zhi went straight to Quanling City, announced the appointment letter to Zhang Fei, and apologized for Zhu Ran's matter, at least the surface work was impeccable.

After that, Zhu Ran returned to Guangzhou with his subordinates. Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao took their respective subordinates to stay in Lingling to assist Zhang Fei in attacking Wuling, and after the matter was completed, they returned to Guangzhou and continued to serve as their taishou.

As soon as the matter here is over, Zhu Zhi also left Lingling, and Zhang Fei became the actual ruler of this area, and this series of changes all depends on Xiang Lang's strategy. Zhang Fei couldn't help but be grateful to Xiang Lang.

In addition, Guan Yu also agreed to Xiang Lang's strategy. Zhang Fei didn't compete with Guan Yu about who would be the lord, Guan Yu was originally the second, he was the third, and the brother was the last brother, which was a matter of course. Who can't blame this, who let Liu Bei have no son? If Liu Bei had a son, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu would probably do their best to assist Liu Bei's son. It's a pity that Liu Bei had a son before who died before he was less than two years old, which can be regarded as an early death.

Zhang Fei agreed to Xiang Lang to help him find his two nephews who had been separated for a long time, so he entrusted Liu Xian to go to Yizhou to find him, but he had no one available except Liu Xian.

After that, Zhang Fei officially invited Xiang Lang to his mansion and asked Xiang Lang to serve as his staff member to temporarily advise him.

In addition, Zhang Fei also gathered Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao together, invited them to drink, and said some words of encouragement when drinking.

Zhang Fei has a straightforward personality, what to say, and there is no such shelf, but it makes Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao feel some intimacy. Especially Ling Cao, who is eight or nine years younger than Zhang Fei, but there is a resonance between the conversation between the two people.

Ling Cao, like Zhang Fei, is also a father, and also has a son, his son Ling Tong is slightly older than Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao, and the two fathers sit together and talk about the topic of children the most. This is also where Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang, the two young people, can't interject, and they can feel that Ling Cao and Zhang Fei seem to have a feeling of seeing each other late.

After the banquet ended, it was already early in the morning, Tan Xiong and Pan Zhang had already been poured by Zhang Fei and couldn't get up, only Ling Cao's amount of wine was slightly better, but compared with Zhang Fei, it was also a little worse, and now it was also muddy, and they began to talk nonsense.

Zhang Fei asked Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao to arrange all three of them to rest in the guest room in the mansion, and then he went back to the room to rest.

The next day, Zhang Fei got up early in the morning, and Sun Quan had already handed over all the powers of this place to him, and if he didn't move like this, he couldn't say anything. Although it is a violation of yang and yin, Wuling must be taken down.

And Wuling County was the first place where Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to Jingzhou at the beginning, so Zhang Fei had a deep affection for Wuling. In the past few days, although Zhang Fei has not moved, he has not been idle, and he has already sent someone to inquire about the situation in Wuling County.

The new Wuling Taishou is called Fu Xun, who was once Liu Biao's confidant, and his appearance is good-looking, and he is erudite, good at getting along with people, and good at judging people, so he has become a rare critic in the world.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most famous critic was Xu Zijiang of Runan, who is said to have conducted a monthly appraisal of the characters of the time, known as the "Yuedan Commentary". Cao Cao's "capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times" is the comment given by Xu Zijiang. All the characters who have been praised by him are basically extraordinary characters, and there are many characters who are vying to let Xu Zijiang comment.

Because 100% of the characters he commented on were hired by the imperial court, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, critics were also a very good and honorable profession.

However, not everyone can be a critic, in order to become a critic, in addition to the family background must be prominent, one's own talent must be outstanding, and the most important point is to know the art of matchmaking.

In layman's terms, it is physiognomy.

And Fu Xun's conditions are basically the same, on the family background, he is the famous diplomat of the Western Han Dynasty after Fu Jiezi, on talent, he is erudite and talented, on appearance, he is a talent, on ability, he is an official, for the benefit of one party. In short, Fu Xun is a person of good character, and he is also proficient in physiognomy, so he became a critic, and has commented on Pang Tong, Pei Qian, Ma Liang and other figures in the Jingxiang area.

Besides. Fu Xun once predicted to Liu Biao that Cai Mao would be opposed. But it is precisely because of this sentence. offended Cai Mao and was kicked out of Xiangyang. In fact, Cai Mao wanted to kill him, but Fu Xun's reputation in Jingzhou was too high, so he didn't dare to do so, for fear of being infamous by the world.

After Fu Xun left Xiangyang, he lived in seclusion in Nanjun until the Cai family was uprooted. At the suggestion of Sima Yi, Liu Qicai activated Fu Xun and appointed Fu Xun as the Taishou of Wuling.

After Fu Xun became the Taishou of Wuling, he was also very active, and the new official took office with three fires, and after Fu Xun arrived, he changed the conservative style of his predecessor Taishou, and often disguised himself as ordinary people, walking on the street, to observe the people's feelings. If you encounter something, you will start handling it immediately. Resolute, and everything is handled impartially, in just over a month, the atmosphere of Wuling County has changed, and the county commanders, county magistrates and other subordinate officials under his command do not dare to move any crooked ideas in front of him, they are honest, and the entire Wuling County seems to be peaceful and quiet.

It can be said that Fu Xun is a good guard, at least the people of Wuling County are impressed by it.

Therefore, Zhang Fei did not want to use force this time, first, after all, he had lived in Wuling for a few years, and he had feelings for it, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, if the war came, Wuling County would be destroyed, and the people's property and lives would be threatened.

But if force is not used, Fu Xun was Liu Biao's henchman, and if he is persuaded to surrender, I don't know if he will refuse to surrender.

For this reason, Zhang Fei hurt his brain, so he went to find Xiang Lang, wanting Xiang Lang to help him come up with a strategy, a strategy that can take Wuling in the most peaceful way without blood.

Zhang Fei walked forward while thinking about things, and soon came to the door of the guest room where Xiang Lang lived, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but suddenly found that the door was open from the inside, and Xiang Lang was standing at the door.

"General, Xiang has been waiting for a long time, come in!" Xiang Langdao.

Zhang Feihu asked suspiciously: "Mr. knows that I am coming?" ”

Xiang Lang nodded, and after welcoming Zhang Fei into the house, the two sat on the ground, Xiang Lang personally poured a pot of hot tea that had just been boiled for Zhang Fei, and said slowly: "The general came this time, but it was for the affairs of Wuling County?" ”

"Sir is really clever, he even knows my intentions. Don't hide it, sir, I came this time for the sake of Wuling County. Zhang Fei said, "I used to stay in Wuling County, and I know it well, and I also have unusual feelings, so I don't want to use force to capture Wuling County, but I hope that Wuling County can take the initiative to surrender." However, Wuling Taishou Fu Xun was once Liu Biao's henchman, and if he wanted to persuade him to surrender, I don't know if Lu Dao would succeed. So I came to ask my husband, hoping that he would give me a good plan. ”

Xiang Lang said: "I have already thought of a plan for the general, the general can lead the army to set off today, go straight to Linyuan City, the county capital of Wuling County, and then set up camp under Linyuan City, and do not move, within three days, the people in Linyuan City will inevitably send Fu Xun to the general's camp and surrender." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Fei felt a little incredible, and said with a smile: "Really fake? I only need to lead troops to make Wuling County surrender without a fight? ”

Xiang Lang nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it?" Zhang Fei said, "Sir, don't joke with me!" ”

Xiang Lang smiled: "If the general doesn't believe it, we can make a bet, how about it?" ”

"What bet?" Zhang Fei asked.

Xiang Lang said: "If everything goes according to what I said, the Wuling people really tied Fu Xun to surrender, and the general will continue to appoint Fu Xun as the Wuling Taishou after taking Wuling County." ”

"Fu Xun is Liu Biao's henchman, continue to appoint him as the Taishou, this is not good, right?" Zhang Fei said.

Xiang Lang said: "Okay, the general will know the Tao after observing for two months, so if Fu Xun rebels against the general, I am willing to sacrifice my head." ”

Zhang Fei saw that Xiang Lang Zhenzhen had something to say, and seemed to be confident, so he said: "Okay, then let's make this bet, what if Mr. loses?" ”

"If I lose, I don't need the general to go to my nephew, and I will serve the general willingly." Xiang Langdao.

"Okay, good, this is good, that's it. The gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, don't regret it, sir! When Zhang Fei said this, he was thinking about another thing, something that convinces Xiang Lang to lose. (To be continued......)
