588 Burning Yangtze River (28)

Guan Yu died, Zhang Yan ordered someone to hang Guan Yu's head on the tower of Linxiang City, and the Shanyue soldiers who were desperately resisting outside the city saw it, and they all felt that the general trend had gone, some surrendered, some committed suicide, and some fought desperately against the Han army, and finally were cut into pulp.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the battle to end, and the inside and outside of Linxiang City had been completely controlled by Zhang Yan. The reason why he was able to kill Guan Yu so smoothly and occupy Linxiang City this time was that Sima Yi contributed a lot, because it was Sima Yi who offered such a strategy to Zhang Yan.

Guan Yu was killed, Zhang Fei was defeated, and it was only a matter of time before the four counties of Jingnan were recovered, in addition, Zhang Yan learned that the reinforcements from Guangzhou were almost wiped out, and Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, and Ling Cao were escorted to Nanchang and handed over to Sun Quan.

After dawn, Zhang Yan gathered all the generals and directly issued a new order, sending Li Tong to take Guiyang County, Wei Yan to take Lingling County, Yang Xiu to garrison Changsha, and take full charge of Jingnan's affairs, Wei Yan, Li Tong, and Hao Zhao all need to obey Yang Xiu's orders. He took Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Sima Yi, Ma Jun and others to lead an army of 60,000 to return to Dongting Lake and began to prepare for the war against Jiangdong.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also issued an official document offering a reward for the purchase of Zhang Fei's head, but anyone who can offer Zhang Fei's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed officials.

Now that Guan Yu is dead, if he kills Zhang Fei again, it will be equivalent to cutting off the troubles, and Zhang Yan can let go of his hands and feet and deal with Sun Quan wholeheartedly, and no longer have to worry about Zhang Fei's potential threat.

A few days later, the news of Guan Yu's killing spread throughout Jingnan, Guiyang County, and Lingling County. It didn't take much effort at all. was directly taken down by Li Tong and Wei Yan.

Also getting the news of Guan Yu's killing was Zhang Fei. He was still hiding in Yuanling County, and when he heard the news, his whole body was so angry that he fainted.

First Liu Bei died, then Guan Yu, and now Zhang Yan is offering a bounty for Zhang Fei's head, Zhang Fei himself is very disheartened, and gathers Fa Zheng, Xiang Lang, Liu Xian, Peng Tuo, Jin Xuan, Gong Zhi and others around. Said slowly: "My eldest brother and second brother are dead, when we married Jinlan, we once swore to the sky that we would not be born on the same day and month of the same year, but for the same day and the same month of the same year." After the death of the eldest brother, the second brother and I originally wanted to die, but when we thought that the eldest brother had not avenged the revenge, we endured the humiliation and took refuge in Sun Quan, and wanted to wait until the eldest brother had avenged the death before dying. But man is not as good as heaven. Now even the second brother is dead, and I am living alone in this world. What else does it mean? It's better to die and meet the eldest brother and second brother under the nine springs......"

Fa Zheng heard Zhang Fei's words so negative, so he hurriedly interrupted Zhang Fei's words and said: "General Zhang, General Liu and General Guan all died in the hands of Zhang Yan, doesn't General Zhang want to help them take revenge?" ”

"Now that I have fallen to this point, the remnants of the army are defeated, what revenge is there to talk about? It is estimated that I was killed by Zhang Yan's subordinates before I got close to Zhang Yan. Zhang Fei said negatively.

"General Zhang, it's man-made, as long as General Zhang still wants to take revenge, there must be a way. Back then, King Goujian of Yue had been lying on his salary for 20 years before he was able to take revenge, how long has it been since General Zhang? If General Zhang is willing to listen to my advice, within fifteen years, I will definitely let General Zhang get revenge! Fa Zheng said confidently.

After Zhang Fei listened to Fa Zheng's words, he was a little moved, and asked: "I have now fallen to this step, and I only have you people under my subordinates, and there are only hundreds of soldiers, but Zhang Yan is already the current King of Yan, with huge power and strong strength, if you want to take revenge, how easy is it!" ”

"It's man-made, don't be discouraged, as long as the general is willing to obey my advice, I can guarantee that the general will be able to take revenge!" Fa Zheng Dao.

Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Fa, can you tell me what you think in your heart?" If it is really feasible, let alone fifteen years, it is twenty-five years, thirty-five years, and I will wait. ”

Fa Zhengdao: "General Zhang has the courage of ten thousand people, and he also has great respect for scholars, if I can change my temper again, be kind to those who were born in the army, don't whip at will, love soldiers like children, I dare to offer this plan for General Zhang." ”

Zhang Fei frowned, Fa Zheng had only been with him for a short time, and he had already gained insight into his shortcomings, he was short-tempered, not very sympathetic to his subordinates, and preferred to whip soldiers who made mistakes, but he didn't expect these shortcomings to be seen by Fa Zheng.

Zhang Fei said. "As long as I can avenge my eldest brother and second brother, I am willing to do whatever I want."

"Is that true?" Fa Zheng hurriedly asked.

"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase." Zhang Fei patted his chest and said loudly.

Fa Zhengdao: "In this case, then you might as well give it a try, if you can succeed, the general can become the top trouble of Yan King Zhang Yan in the next ten years!" ”

"Mr. Fa, don't sell it, tell me what you want me to do, right?" Zhang Fei said.

Fa Zhengdao: "I want General Zhang to enter Sichuan!" ”

"Irikawa?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes, although the Bashu area is remote, but it is better than its unique geographical advantages, the Shu road is difficult, the mountain is obstructed, as long as the passage into Shu is guarded, even if there is only one person guarding the pass, even if there are 10,000 people, don't want to pass from here. Now although Yizhou is under the rule of Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is mediocre and incompetent, sitting on this treasure of feng shui, but he can't make a difference, he is really a mediocre talent. And Liu Zhang can't use people, so how many talented people in Shu are famous masters, if General Zhang is willing to enter Sichuan, I have a way to let General Zhang replace Liu Zhang and become the lord of Yizhou. Once General Zhang becomes the lord of Yizhou, he can block the road to Shu, concentrate on developing secretly in Yizhou, accumulate strength, and then wait for the opportunity to compete with the world! Fa Zheng said eloquently.

"How many talents can there be in a remote place in Yizhou? Besides, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son have been in Yizhou for many years, how can they be replaced so easily? The general must not be deceived by Fazheng, maybe he wants to deceive the general to Yizhou, and then secretly cut off the general's head. Dedicated to Zhang Yan, King of Yan. Seek fame! Jin Xuan pursed his lips. Said disappreciatively.

As soon as Jin Xuan said this, the rest of the people began to suspect Fa Zheng's intentions, although they didn't say it, but the eyes looking at Fa Zheng had changed, especially Peng Tuo, whose vicious eyes seemed to want to swallow Fa Zheng.

"Xiaozhi is by no means that kind of person, I believe in filial piety!" Xiang Lang spoke.

Fa Zheng said: "Those who are pure are self-purifying, and I don't need to explain anything." If General Zhang trusts me, he will enter Sichuan with me, I can guarantee that General Zhang will become the lord of Yizhou, if General Zhang does not trust me, I have no choice, either I will return to Shu alone, or I will ask General Zhang to kill me. ”

"Mr. Fa is willing to believe me, come to Wuling with me, and give me advice, why can't I trust Mr. Fa? Just according to what Mr. Fa said. Irikawa. In these two days, you will prepare first. Once you enter Sichuan, it will be difficult to come back, and if anyone doesn't want to go, I, Zhang Fei, will definitely not stop him. Zhang Fei said.

None of the people present spoke, Zhang Fei looked around, and then said: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, and three days later, we will follow Mr. Fa into Sichuan together!" ”

After Jin Xuan heard Zhang Fei's words, there was a faint hesitation on his psychological face, and after the meeting ended, he sent someone to invite Gong Zhi to his room.

When Gong Zhi arrived, he first exchanged pleasantries with Jin Xuan, and then asked, "My lord called, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Jin Xuan said: "You and I have been working together for five or six years, to say the least, right?" ”

"My lord, you miscalculated, after this month, it will be a full seven years." Gong Zhi said.

Jin Xuan sighed and said, "Alas, it's been seven years unconsciously, how many seven years can there be in life?" I think I fled from Guanzhong seven years ago to take refuge here, and then worked in Wuling County for seven years, but now I am nothing. Master Gong, to be honest, in the seven years we have worked together, have I always treated you as a good brother? ”

Gong Zhi nodded and said, "My lord treats me like a brother." Moreover, it was also the adults who pulled me up, and speaking of which, the adults have the grace of knowing me. ”

Jin Xuan waved his hand and said: "You have the current results, it is all due to your ability, and it has nothing to do with me, I just recommended talented people, so as not to bury a talented person like you." ”

"Anyway, in Gong Zhi's heart, my lord is Gong Zhi's benefactor."

Jin Xuan smiled, changed his words, and suddenly asked, "Brother Xian, what do you think of what General Zhang and Fa Zheng said in the council hall today?" ”

Gong Zhi said: "What can I think of a little official like me, the only way to do it is to obey." ”

Jin Xuan said: "Who said you are a small official? I think you have the potential to be a big official, but it's a pity that your career is not smooth. Now that Zhang Yan has obtained half of the country, Fa Zheng Xiao'er has deceived General Zhang's trust, and wants to take General Zhang to Shu, and then kill him, I must not sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing. ”

Gong Zhi said in surprise: "My lord, Fa Zheng is not such a vicious person, right?" ”

"What do you know, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, what the hell is Fa Zheng thinking, do you know? If you knew, you would have become a big official a long time ago, and you could still be a small official here? To be honest, I also admire General Zhang, and General Zhang treats us well. But those who know the times are Junjie, if today is already the world of King Yan, His Royal Highness King Yan will unify the whole country sooner or later, and if he follows Zhang Fei around like this, he will die sooner or later. It's better to adapt to the times, take refuge under His Royal Highness King Yan, and with our ability, it is not a problem to find an official position at all. Moreover, this time, His Royal Highness King Yan issued an official document, as long as he can present Zhang Fei's head, he will not only reward thousands of gold, but also reward the official title. You say, what do we live all our lives for, don't we just want to get ahead? But have I come over for half my life and come out on top? No, I still have to wander with Zhang Fei now. It's fine for me to be alone, but what about my family? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, right? ”

Jin Xuan talked eloquently, Gong Zhi sat there and listened quietly, and it was only at this time that Gong Zhi knew that Jin Xuan called him over to conspire to kill Zhang Fei.

"Brother Xian, I remember you had a son, right? I heard that Ling Lang has never been married yet, right? Jin Xuan asked suddenly.

Gong Zhi nodded and said, "That's true, the dog is not an official, and my family is not very rich, so I have not been able to find a good girl willing to marry into my family." ”

Jin Xuan said: "Brother Xian, you don't have to worry about this, I have a daughter under my knees, who is at the age of twenty-eight, and you and I have been friends for many years, how about getting married to a family of children and daughters?" ”

Gong Zhi said in surprise: "I heard that the daughter of an adult has the appearance of a country and a city, but the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the dog looks ordinary, and he doesn't have much ability, I'm afraid that Ling Yan won't agree, right?" ”

"Marriage has always been decided by her parents, whoever I let her marry, she will marry, where is she allowed to pick and choose?" Jin Xuan said, "Brother Xian, if you are willing, we will settle this family business, how about it?" ”

"If the adults have no opinions, the lower officials have no opinions."

"Okay, okay, it's good if Brother Xian agrees. However, the top priority should be to find a way to get rid of Zhang Fei, only by carrying Zhang Fei's head and going to His Royal Highness King Yan to bear the guilt, our two families will not be implicated. What do you think? ”

Gong Zhi said: "I have long had this intention, but Zhang Fei's martial arts are strong, I have no way to start, and there are warriors like Peng Tuo by his side, so there is no chance at all!" ”

"It turns out that the virtuous brother also has this heart, so we really coincide. But don't worry, Brother Xian, I have a plan to kill Zhang Fei without any effort. "Golden Twist.

Gong Zhi let out an "oh" and hurriedly asked, "I want to hear about it!" (To be continued......)
