After Zhao Fan was angry, he looked at Tian Chunyi and said urgently: "Military advisor, how can there be such a reason in the world? They actually betrayed me."
Tian Chunyi's cheeks twitched.
The military remonstrance has already happened. It's too late to talk about this. The problem needs to be solved now.
Tian Chunyi licked his chapped lips and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong are here, and we have to face them."
Zhao Fan said sarcastically: "Military advisor, what do you think we should do?"
Tian Chunyi's mind raced and he said quickly: "In the current situation, we can only stabilize Hou Yong first, use him to benefit him and show his righteousness, and bind him with interests and kindness. Only then can we have a chance of survival. Escape the current disaster first, Think about the next step.”
Zhao Fan thought about it but had no choice but to get up and walk out. The moment he opened the door, he saw Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong rushing in with soldiers.
Zhao Fan raised his head and scolded: "Hou Yong, what are you going to do?"
Hou Yong held up his sword and said coldly: "King Wei, please rein in your horse and turn back to the shore!"
Zhao Fan was filled with anger, but he did not dare to break out. He said patiently, "Hou Yong, ask yourself, how will this king treat you?"
Hou Yong said confidently: "The kindness of the King of Wei is a small loyalty. In front of the country, only loyalty to the court and your Majesty is a great loyalty. I ask the King of Wei to learn from it."
Wang Chengzhong became even more forceful and said in a deep voice: "If King Wei doesn't cooperate, we can only use violence. It will be bad if we hurt King Wei."
brush!
Zhao Fan's expression changed even more.
Zhu Shan, Dou Wei and others died on the battlefield, and his confidants were gone. A mere Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong dared to threaten him like this.
Zhao Fan was filled with murderous intent, but had no choice. He said again: "Wang Biejia, General Hou, although we have been defeated, it is only our first defeat. As long as we capture Zhao Shan, it will be an unprecedented achievement."
"I promise that as long as you follow me and fight to the death, I will block Zhao Shan in Youzhou. When I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, I will make Wang Biejia the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the Marquis General the Great General."
"Jizhou is rich. I have countless weapons and armors in my treasury. Jizhou has a huge population. I can further recruit soldiers to participate in the war. I can easily recruit 40,000 to 50,000 people."
"In any case, we have sufficient advantages because of Jizhou's geographical location and resources."
Zhao Fan looked gentle and said forcefully: "You two, why don't you look at Qian Xiangquan? Instead, go to Zhao Shan. If you go to Zhao Shan, if he doesn't accept it, wouldn't you be humiliating yourself?"
Wang Chengzhong said calmly: "Zhao Fan, you are a local vassal king who covets a divine weapon. I, Wang Chengzhong, will never collude with you. Your poor words cannot deceive me. Especially when you lose this battle with all your troops, you still have delusional ideas. What kind of virtue is it to fight with His Majesty without looking in the mirror to see yourself?"
Hou Yong rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's a lot of nonsense, it's a waste of time."
"Take it!"
Hou Yong gave the order.
The soldiers stepped forward and controlled Zhao Fan, and Tian Chunyi was also controlled.
Zhao Fan cursed: "Wang Chengzhong, Hou Yong, you two ungrateful dogs. Do you think that betraying me will get Zhao Shan to be reused? You are overthinking, it is absolutely impossible."
Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong ignored him.
Zhao Fan was angry in his heart and roared further: "Wang Chengzhong, you bastard; Hou Yong, you white-eyed wolf with a bad heart and a dog's heart..."
Hou Yong was impatient and escorted Zhao Fan directly.
The two did not stay in Gecheng. Instead, they escorted Zhao Fan back and went directly to Youzhou to surrender to Zhao Shan. After traveling all night, the army was already close to the border of Jizhou and arrived outside Zhao Shan's camp at noon the next morning.
Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong arranged for the army to stop and personally escorted Zhao Fan to see him.
The news reached Zhao Shan's ears. Zhao Shan was quite surprised. He looked at Fang Weihu who was discussing the matter with him and praised: "Military Advisor, you said before that there are Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yongzhong in Jizhou who are loyal to the court, and now they are indeed here."
Fang Weihu said: "People's hearts are complex, and people who are truly unselfish are extremely rare. People who are purely loyal to the imperial court are extremely rare. Most people can remain loyal and consider the situation while taking care of themselves. This is a great deal."
"This is what Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong are like."
"When the imperial court was weak, the two of them submitted to Zhao Fan and gained power. Now that His Majesty has defeated Zhao Fan, they escorted Zhao Fan to surrender. They are loyal to the imperial court."
Fang Weihu said: "A gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to deeds, and no one is perfect when it comes to his heart. Of course, in the final analysis, it is His Majesty who is wise. Otherwise, no matter how Zhao Fan is defeated, Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong will not be able to submit."
Zhao Shan nodded with a smile and ordered the soldiers to bring the people in.
After a while, Wang Chengzhong, Hou Yong and Zhao Fan were all brought in. Zhao Fan looked angry, held his head high and said nothing.
Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong both stepped forward to salute, knelt down and said: "The guilty minister Hou Yong (Wang Chengzhong), pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan looked approvingly, nodded and said: "You escorted Zhao Fan back, what crime are you guilty of? You are the heroes of Daqian, get up quickly."
Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong thanked En and stood up.
Zhao Shan encouraged him again, then looked at Zhao Fan and said, "My eldest nephew, what do you think of becoming my prisoner?"
Zhao Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Shan, the reason why you can win is because I mistrusted others. Without the betrayal of Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong, it would not be so easy for you to defeat me."
Zhao Shan laughed and asked, "Are you unconvinced?"
"Of course I don't accept it."
Zhao Fan frowned and said: "If you have the guts, let me go and let me return to Jizhou to reorganize our troops and fight again. If you can defeat me, I will be convinced by you."
"Now you are relying on luck and the treacherous villain's influence. I don't accept it. You defeated me openly and openly. I, Zhao Fan, am willing to work for you."
"Zhao Shan, do you dare?"
Zhao Fan's mind was spinning crazily, and he was irritating Zhao Shan with his words, hoping that Zhao Shan would let him go.
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Based on what you just said, you can't see the situation clearly, you can't recognize the situation clearly, and you're not clear-headed. You don't understand the rules, I'll teach you to understand them."
"Hou Hou Zhou!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
"exist!"
Zhou Huhou entered the camp.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Give Zhao Fan ten slaps to make him understand his situation."
"As you command!"
Zhou Huhou walked towards Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan widened his eyes and roared: "Zhao Shan, do you think you can scare me with despicable means? It's impossible. I, Zhao Fan, will never give in."
Snapped!
A loud slap sounded.
Zhao Fan was slapped, but he still held his neck and wanted to continue talking, but Zhou Huhou slapped him a second time, which made Zhao Fan's face burn, and he swallowed all the words that came to his lips.
"Pah! Pah!!"
Sounds continued to come out one after another, and after ten slaps, Zhao Fan's cheeks were red and swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth.
Zhao Fan's face was numb with pain, and he said in a straight tone: "Zhao Shan, you are so cruel."
Zhao Shan said disdainfully: "I fought back against you and punished you because I was cruel and ruthless. You betrayed Da Qian and brought an army to Youzhou to kill me. This is a sign of obedience and justice, right?"
"With you, Zhao Fan, only care about your own gains. You can't suffer any losses, you can only take advantage."
"Nephew, times have changed."
"Now is not the time for the imperial court to be useless. If you don't accept it, I will teach you some more rules."
Zhao Shan looked at Zhou Huhou and ordered: "Huhou, break Zhao Fan's legs and let him wake up again. If his mind is not clear, his body will be honest."
"As you command!"
Zhou Huhou walked towards Zhao Fan again.
Zhao Fan was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He had just received ten slaps and his legs were about to be broken again. His already fragile psychological defense completely collapsed. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and said urgently: "Guilty Zhao Fan, hello." Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
