545Jingzhou changed hands(17)

On the same day, Zhang Fei ordered the army to be assembled and officially went to Wuling.

However, when the army was assembled, there was a little episode, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao did not arrive at the place where Zhang Fei's army was assembled at the agreed time.

Zhang Fei sent someone to the barracks to ask what was going on, and then he learned that Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao didn't return all night last night, and they still don't know where Lu Dao is.

After his subordinates reported the situation to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei suddenly felt that he was so confused, yesterday he invited Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao to drink, but these three people were drunk by him, and they were still sleeping in the guest room of the mansion at this time, and they probably haven't woken up yet.

So, Zhang Fei immediately sent someone to wake up Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao in the guest room of the mansion, and the three of them were late.

Anyway, in short, the army was assembled, Zhang Fei led the team to the front, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao's army followed behind, and the three of them were not yet sober, all supported by their soldiers, and walked forward slowly.

In stark contrast, it was Zhang Fei's army, he drove the barbarian king Shamoke and the first warrior of Shanyue Peng Tuo, attacked more than 10,000 people, and went to Wuling in a mighty way, and the speed was very fast.

In Zhang Fei's entire army, except for Zhang Fei riding a horse, the rest all advanced on foot, whether it was a barbarian soldier or a Shanyue soldier, the area where they lived was a rugged area in the mountains and rivers, and the horses could not pass at all, so these people walked in the mountains with their feet since they were young, and over time, the mountains were like flat land. Walk like a fly.

These people walked in the mountains as if they were walking on the ground. Not to mention coming up on flat ground. That march is really like a fly.

And these people are all strong men, and their physique is better than ordinary people, and after a long journey, they don't even have the slightest breath.

After only a while, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao's army were far behind.

Along the way, Zhang Fei led the army and marched neatly towards Wuling. When passing through various county towns along the way, the county commanders took the initiative to come out and surrender, and sent delicious food and wine, as if Zhang Fei's army was not fighting, but inspecting Wuling.

The county magistrates and county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Wuling County basically still maintain the structure of Liu Bei's era, and they used to be Liu Bei's subordinates, so they are naturally very familiar with Zhang Fei. So as soon as they heard that Zhang Fei was coming with his troops, they all gave up resistance and directly chose to surrender.

Zhang Fei didn't bother them along the way. He didn't stay in any county, but went directly to Linyuan City. I want to take the county seat of Wuling County in one fell swoop.

In fact, Zhang Fei's bet with Xiang Lang was a treacherous ploy, because Xiang Lang didn't know about Zhang Fei's prestige in Wuling, nor did he know that the officials in Wuling County, except for Taishou who replaced Fu Xun, the rest used to be Zhang Fei's old department.

Among them, Wuling Changshi Jinxuan, Wuling engaged in Gong Zhidu and Zhang Fei are drinking friends. Especially Jin Xuan, this person is the descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the descendant of the famous minister Jin Riyan, the character Yuan Ji, once served as the Huangmen Shilang, Hanyang Taishou, Yilang, Zhonglang General and other positions, and later Li Dao and Guo Yan fought in the army, afraid of being implicated, so he moved his family to Jingzhou and was courteous to Liu Biao.

After that, he has been serving as an idle post in Xiangyang, and later Liu Biao appointed Liu Bei to be too punctual in Wuling, so he transferred Jin Xuan to Wuling and went to Liu Bei as a subordinate official, so he met Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Moreover, Jin Xuan himself is a man from the northwest, with a straightforward personality, similar in age to Zhang Fei, and also likes to drink, and over time, he and Zhang Fei got along.

A few days ago, Zhang Fei sent people to Wuling County to contact Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi, telling them that he was going to lead the army to arrive, and asked them to cooperate with each other.

Jin Xuan naturally agreed, and Gong Zhi didn't have anything to say, after the envoy came back, Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and often revealed to Xiang Lang the difficulties of wanting to take Wuling County. The purpose is to let Xiang Lang know his melancholy, and he is in urgent need of help.

As a result, Xiang Lang really hit the plan, and even Zhang Fei's heart was secretly happy, feeling that this bet was too good with Xiang Lang, and at the same time, he also admired his acting skills too well, and he really managed to hide from the world.

Every time he thought of this, Zhang Fei couldn't close his mouth happily, and sometimes when he was on the march, the soldiers could suddenly hear Zhang Fei's hearty laughter, which made everyone baffled.

Three days later, after a long journey, Zhang Fei and his army finally came to Linyuan City, which was only two miles away.

Zhang Fei's sudden arrival made the people and the army in Linyuan City panic, and after hearing about it, Taishou Fu Xun immediately led his troops to climb the city tower, looking at the enemy who was waiting outside the city, and the army was neat, and immediately frowned. Because, in the place that Fu Xun's eyes could reach, there were barbarians and Shanyue people everywhere, if it weren't for Zhang Fei riding a tall horse and standing at the front of the army, it is estimated that Fu Xun would have thought that the barbarians and Shanyue people had come to attack Linyuan City.

At this time, Changshi Jinxuan, engaged in Gong Zhi, all walked up the stairs, and after seeing the neat enemy army outside the city, he said to Taishou Fu Xun: "Lord Taishou, Zhang Fei is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible, and he also brought more than 10,000 troops, and there are only 2,000 soldiers in the city, how can they resist such a powerful army?" The subordinates thought that it was better to open the city gate and surrender directly, and they could still keep Linyuan City from being harmed.

Fu Xun said: "No! Since the lord appointed me as the Taishou of Wuling, I have the obligation to lead the army and people of the whole city to resist foreign enemies, even if the combat effectiveness of our army is not as good as the enemy's army, but we must swear to defend the city, even if there is only one soldier and one soldier in the rear, I must fight to the end, how can there be a reason to surrender without a fight? “

After hearing this, Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi glanced at each other, and then heard Jin Xuan say to Fu Xun: "In this case, then Lord Taishou, we can only be sorry for you!" ”

Fu Xunhu looked at Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting! Originally, we wanted to persuade Lord Taishou to surrender, but since Lord Taishou refused to surrender, then we had to be unkind to Lord Taishou. To tell you the truth, Gong Zhi and I have already secretly surrendered, General Zhang is a hero in the world, and his arrival will inevitably make Wuling County prosperous. As soon as Jin Xuan's voice fell, he waved his hand at the soldiers standing aside.

But seeing that five or six soldiers directly stepped forward to subdue Fu Xun, and then took out the rope that had been prepared for a long time and tied Fu Xun directly. Finally, Jin Xuan asked people to lower the flag, and opened the city gate, and together with Gong Zhi, he escorted Fu Xun, who had been captured, towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei only waited outside the city for a while, and also saw the scene on the city tower with his own eyes, so he turned around and said to his staff member Xiang Lang: "Mr. Xiang, you miscalculated this time, I haven't been here for three days, and they are about to surrender, it seems that you have lost." ”

Xiang Lang smiled: "Not necessarily, right? ”

Zhang Feihu said suspiciously: "Why is it not necessarily lawful?" ”

Xiang Lang said: "General, please think about it carefully, did Xiang Mou tell the general that as long as the generals and soldiers come to the city, within three days, someone will naturally tie up Fu Xun, the Taishou of Wuling, from the city and surrender to the land?" ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"General, look, is it exactly the same as I said now? Moreover, the general had just arrived in the city, and the people in the city tied Fu Xun out? Xiang Lang said, pointing to the scene ahead.

Zhang Fei looked at the situation in front of him and suddenly became speechless, this situation is indeed exactly the same as what Xiang Lang said. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, how did he do it himself, and he fell into Xiang Lang's arms?

"No, no, no, this can't be counted!" Zhang Fei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't count this time, because I made Fu Xun tied up from it, and it's my credit!" ”

Xiang Lang said: "The eldest husband is full of his word, how can he regret what he has said?" General, the credit is still yours, but when we bet, I bet on what will happen to the enemy after the generals come to the city, whether it is tied up by the general or not, or they are tied voluntarily, it has nothing to do with these, I just look at how the enemy surrenders. ”

Zhang Fei was told this by Xiang Lang, and suddenly felt that he was stealing chickens and not losing a handful of rice, and he was convinced that he would lose. But he was extremely unhappy in his heart, blaming himself for not making the bet clear with Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi...... Well, no, when he sent someone to contact Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi, it didn't seem that he had made a bet with Xiang Lang. Could it be that Xiang Lang really knows how to make a clever calculation?

Anyway, this time Zhang Fei miscalculated, but he didn't expect to catch Xiang Lang's words. It seems that if you want Xiang Lang to be willing to give advice for yourself, you really need to find Xiang Chong and Xiang Chong's two nephews. Therefore, Zhang Fei completely pinned his hopes on Liu Xian, hoping that Liu Xian would be able to gain something in Yizhou.

At this time, Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi had already come to Zhang Fei with Fu Xun, and when they saw Zhang Fei, Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi both saluted Zhang Fei respectfully.

"General Qiyu, I will wait for Fu Xun to come and surrender." Jin Xuan said.

Zhang Fei said: "Okay, you two did a good job, I will give you a credit." ”

After saying this, Zhang Fei moved his gaze to Fu Xun and asked, "You have become a prisoner of the ranks, and I have always respected your reputation, are you willing to surrender?" ”

"I'd rather die than surrender!" Although Fu Xun was a literati, he was very ambitious, stared at his two big eyes, and yelled at Zhang Fei, eager to swallow Zhang Fei in one gulp.

Zhang Fei's face suddenly changed color and said, "If you don't surrender, you have to die!" Aren't you afraid that I will cut off your head? ”

"What is so terrible about dying, who did not die, it's just that I died a few years earlier than you, what is there to be proud of, when I get to the underworld, I am patiently waiting for you!" Fu Xun said with a smile.

"Pull it out! Chopped! Zhang Fei was furious. (To be continued......)
