That night.
Yu Jin secretly opened the city gate, and Dong Chana led his army into Fancheng and took control of the situation in the city in an instant.
The defending Wei army was still sleeping when they were captured by the Shu army who rushed into the tent.
This was not without resistance.
For example, Man Chong led his troops and fought towards the General's Mansion. In his opinion, there must be some cowards in the city who were afraid of death, and they were cooperating with the unworthy flying troops outside the city.
As long as Yu Jin is rescued and he raises his arms, the civil strife in Fancheng can be calmed down.
However...
Man Chong fought bloody battles all the way to the general's mansion. Seeing Yu Jin surrounded by the Wudang Fei army, he broke his defense!
The person he wanted to save, the person who wanted him to turn the tide, turned out to be the cowardly agent who was afraid of death.
Man Chong immediately yelled!
"Yu Wenze, you actually surrendered to the barbarian army? Are you worthy of the king's trust? Don't you know that your reputation as a prince will be destroyed in one day?"
Even in his wildest dreams, he never expected that Yu Wenze would surrender.
How dare you surrender?
There are still more than 10,000 people in Fancheng, and there is still hope for defending the city!
It is impossible for the King of Wei to give up the important place of Fancheng.
We haven't fought to the death yet, why did you, the leading coach, surrender first?
"How can you, a rat, be worthy of the title of prince? You are a coward! Bah! Your Majesty, you have really misjudged the person! I, Man Chong, have also misjudged the person."
After being scolded by Man Chong, Yu Jin looked ashamed at first, but when Man Chong continued to scold him, Yu Jin became angry and his eyes immediately turned red!
Don't I know I have a bad reputation?
But I am banned, is there any other choice?
If you don't surrender, there is only one way to die!
If I don't surrender, all the soldiers and civilians in this city will die with me.
To die in Fancheng is such a cowardly way of death!
What's the point?
"Man Boning, if you surrender now, you can still survive. I know that you are a loyal person who serves the master. You may be able to return to the king of Wei. Don't make any mistakes."
After spending this time with Man Chong, Yu Jin felt a lot better about him.
I cannot be a loyal minister in Jin, and my reputation will be ruined. Your loyalty to the King of Wei is a lesson. By sending you back, it can be regarded as repaying the favor to the King of Wei.
"I have received so much kindness from the King of Wei, how can I be willing to surrender to others?"
Man Chong looked at Yu Jin fiercely and shouted loudly: "Come on! Yu Wenze, do you dare to kill me?"
Dong Chana, who was watching the show on the side, didn't think it was a big deal. He looked at Yu Jin with a smile and said, "How about it, Lord Jun? Are you interested in killing this person?"
Kill all the pets?
Resist in the forbidden heart.
"This man's life will be decided by the general."
"snort!"
Dong Cha Na snorted coldly and walked towards Man Chong with the machete in hand.
"You are considered a good man, but... the one I, Dong Cha, like to kill the most are also good men!"
Compared to the soft-hearted Yu Jin, although this Man Chong is not strong in martial arts, his loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon.
"I'll give you a decent death!"
Dong Chana waved the machete in his hand and headed towards Man Chong.
"kill!"
Man Chong roared loudly, the flesh on his face shook, and with the greatest strength in his life, he roared out to embolden himself.
Dang Dang Dang~
The two were in close combat.
Dong Cha used all his strength with his sword. Although Man Chong was a sad soldier, his martial arts skills could not be compensated by just fighting hard, and it only took less than three rounds.
Only a 'pop' sound was heard, accompanied by Man Chong's screams.
Man Chong's head was chopped off by Dong Chana.
Looking at the unwillingness in the eyes of Man Chong's head, Dong Cha said to the people around him: "Although this Man Chong is not very skilled in martial arts, he is quite courageous. Let him be buried alive."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards Yu Jin.
"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man, sir. Don't worry, His Highness's promise will not change."
Yu Jin's face was gloomy and he could only nod at this moment.
He looked at Man Chong whose corpse was separated, and then looked at the disdainful eyes of the surrounding Wei Jun looking at him.
Yu Jin felt uncomfortable in his heart, and those looks in his eyes were like sharp blades attacking, piercing towards his heart.
He has become a street rat.
If he had to choose again, would he be willing to be the man whose corpses were separated on the ground, or would he be willing to be himself now?
have no idea...
Even if I ban myself, I don’t know how to choose.
...
Nanyang.
Newfield.
Liu Chan hosted a banquet to receive the Nanyang nobles.
After passing the examinations of literature, military strategy, and the Six Arts of the Gentleman, ten talented people were selected and filled into the martial arts hall.
He also recruited more than 30 talented people and called them to teach martial arts and follow the rules.
Many representatives of the Nanyang gentry, such as Han Yao, Zong Huishu, etc., joined Liu Chan's tent and joined the army as his staff.
Anyway...
At the banquet today, Liu Chan gave the Nanyang nobles a place beside him.
In the same way, the Nanyang nobles also reciprocated.
Except for one or two of the cities in Nanyang County that were heavily guarded by the Wei army, all the others surrendered and killed the county magistrates and garrison generals of the Wei army to meet the Shu army.
Mi Yang's anti-bandit work in Nanyang was aided by the Nanyang nobles. Things that had been stalled suddenly made a lot of progress and the process became smooth.
Returning to the backyard of Xinye City Government Office, there was Liu Chan. He was also feeling emotional at this moment.
"With the help of this Nanyang noble clan, I am really like a fish in water!"
After all, Liu Chan is an outsider. With the organizational capabilities of this era, it is extremely difficult to directly mobilize the people at the bottom.
It is simply impossible to organize households and measure the land in a place like Nanyang, where the gentry is deeply entangled.
Even if it is possible, the price to pay is not something Liu Chan can bear, or is willing to bear.
Liu Chan was able to implement it in Nanzhong because the fighting power of the powerful chiefs in Nanzhong was not strong. Under bloody suppression, he could still do it.
Moreover, the chieftain's method of organizing the people is quite crude, and it is relatively easy to deal with them.
The soldiers in Nanyang had good fighting prowess, and in the shogunate of the King of Hanzhong, there were also many officials from Nanyang who directly took away their hometowns in Nanyang. I am afraid that the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han will be separated soon.
These noblemen are willing to follow Liu Chan because they want to get benefits.
Instead of giving me benefits, you want to dig up the roots of my noble clan?
Who will follow you?
Moreover, the fighting power of the Nanyang nobles and the Nanzhong chieftains are incomparable!
The powerful chieftains of Nanzhong only had some tribal slaves at their disposal, while the Nanyang nobles not only had the Zhuang and Wei tribes at their disposal, but also had a sharp mouth that could incite people's hearts.
If it arouses the resentment and dissatisfaction of the Nanyang nobles, how can Liu Chan take root in Nanyang?
"With the help of the Nanyang nobles, it seems that the situation in Nanyang is firmly under Lang Jun's control."
Guan Yinping looked at Liu Chan, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons at this moment.
Just now, among the nobles in Nanyang, some nobles were willing to give their daughters as Liu Chan's wives and concubines as a sign of respect, but Liu Chan used the excuse that his great achievements had not been completed and he should not be arrogant.
Guan Yinping watched from behind, thinking that Liu Chan refused because of her.
At this moment, my heart feels like drinking honey, it's so sweet.
"The Nanyang nobles are willing to help me now because we have gained an advantage in Nanyang. But if the Wei army gains an advantage, they will abandon us without mercy and turn to King Cao Mengde of Wei."
These nobles are all profit animals.
When Cao Cao occupied Nanyang, many Nanyang disciples went to Xudu to serve as officials.
Liu Chan organized a poetry gathering, and scholars from Nanyang also came to serve.
They help whoever wins.
As for loyalty?
To say loyalty to these nobles is to insult the word loyalty!
The nobles have no loyalty.
The good news is that scholars can still develop loyalty.
Among the talented young people from Nanyang recruited today, there are still many malleable talents.
It's okay to brainwash, work for my great cause, Liu Chan, and contribute to the great cause of Shu Han.
"Xu Huang has led his army in Ye County. I am afraid that he will attack Wancheng in the near future. If we block this Wei army's offensive, Nanyang can be truly controlled by us."
Guan Yinping nodded slightly.
"As long as Lang Jun is here, the King of Wei is here, and I think he is no match for you!"
Following Liu Chan during this period of time, Guan Yinping has obeyed Liu Chan both physically and mentally.
I'm really not invincible.
Liu Chan shook his head.
Being able to win in the past is just a matter of having a historical perspective, and there is really some element of destiny in it.
Liu Chan didn't know the road ahead.
If you want to win and find a way out, it really depends on your ability.
"It's better to rest and rest."
Liu Chan lay down on the main seat, picked up the military document on the slip, and looked at it carefully.
Guan Yinping was very conscious and immediately knelt down behind Liu Chan, moving her delicate hands slightly to help Liu Chan rub his shoulders and back to soothe his body and mind.
Liu Chan fell into Guan Yinping's arms and rested on the beauty's lap. The touch was extraordinary.
Today's banquet and drinking with the Nanyang nobles also destroyed a lot of brain cells. In addition, drinking this wine one glass at a time made my head dizzy, which could be regarded as a work-related injury.
but...
Fortunately, everything is worth it.
Now in the tent, let's take a good rest.
Lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, with red sleeves adding fragrance, Liu Chan has already done it.
As for waking up and taking over the power of the world, he is still among the slaves.
It's a pity that living a leisurely life is still a luxury wish for Liu Chan.
This is not...
Outside the big tent, the voice of 'Light Bulb' Fei Yi was already heard.
"Your Highness, urgent report from Fancheng."
Fancheng...
Liu Chan estimated the time. It was only the third day. Could it be that he had already achieved results?
Is Ah Hui'nan too brave, or is Yu Wenze too unbearable?
Liu Chan stood up from Guan Yinping's arms.
"It's really a good time to have some free time, and I have to do serious business again."
Guan Yinping pouted, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
snort!
Finally, I was able to be alone with the young master. Not even a quarter of an hour after the massage, someone came to disturb me again.
Guan Yinping now finds that she likes to serve Liu Chan more and more.
Rub your shoulders and back for your husband.
No one can rob me!
Even though she was dissatisfied, Guan Yinping had no choice but to stand up and stand behind Liu Chan.
"come in."
Fei Yi lowered his head and entered the account, ignoring Guan Yinping's slightly angry and complaining eyes, and just handed the report to Liu Chan.
After the matter was done, Fei Yi hurriedly left the place of trouble and wrong.
"Your Highness, I still have something to do, so I will stay here soon."
"Don't leave yet."
"promise."
Fei Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and wait in the tent.
Opening the memorial and looking at the contents, Liu Chan couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Yes, Ah Huinan has made me proud, and Xu Ziming has made great achievements again."
When Fei Yi saw Liu Chan smiling, he knew the content of the report.
"Fan City was captured in three days?"
Liu Chan nodded slightly and said, "Yu Wenze surrendered."
Surrender?
Fei Yi opened his mouth and was a little shocked.
Even Guan Yinping had a look of disbelief on his face.
Surrender?
"Then Yu Jin is a hero like his father, but he is actually afraid of death?"
Yu Wenze was a general under the command of Wei King Cao Cao, no less than Cao Ren.
Such a prestigious general actually surrendered.
Guan Yinping looked at Liu Chan with admiration.
"His Highness told me before that Yu Wenze would surrender in a desperate situation. I refuted it at the time. Now it seems that His Highness has the wisdom to judge people and Fei Yi is convinced!"
For a hero like Yu Jin, His Highness had said a few days ago that he would surrender.
At that time, no one in the tent agreed with Liu Chan.
Everyone thought that attacking Fancheng would be a tough battle.
If Fancheng could be captured so easily, former general Guan Yu would not have been able to besiege it without attacking.
can only say...
This Yu Wenze is really in vain, nothing more than that!
"Mr. Lang is really clever!"
Guan Yinping looked at Liu Chan, with spring thoughts rippling in his eyes, and water ripples in his eyes. In the unknown deep valley, the water started to gurgling.
"Today, Ah Huinan will bring Yu Jin over to pay homage."
Ah Hui Nan was eager to perform meritorious service, and Liu Chan knew it in his heart, as to how to arrange the ban.
Naturally, it was arranged by my side.
Liu Chan is still not at ease if he is asked to lead the army forward.
Especially now that Nanyang is fighting against the Wei army.
"What's so good about a defeated general? He's still a surrendered general, huh!"
Guan Yinping was full of disdain for Yu Jin who was afraid of death.
"Since Yu Jin surrendered, we must treat him well and make important use of these surrendered generals. When Wei is weak, there will be an endless stream of people who come to surrender to us."
As long as he takes a strategic lead and has an example of surrendering and reusing, Liu Chan may not often encounter enemy generals who defend the city when he wants to attack the city in the future.
His father, Liu Bei, King of Hanzhong, had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.
Naturally, he, Mr. Liu, also has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.
To compete in the world, you rely on the hearts of the people and your reputation!
"Wen Wei, go and prepare the best wine and food. I will host a banquet for Yu Wenze."
"promise!"
Fei Yi knew Liu Chan's thoughts and immediately went to prepare.
....
Outside Xinye City.
Ah Hui Nan and Yu Jin were both riding war horses, parked outside Xinye City.
Ah Huinan was excited at this moment.
After many days, I finally got to see His Highness again.
Especially since he had fought a good battle just now, he should be able to secure his position as the commander-in-chief of the flying army.
Fancheng has fallen, so the useless flying army in his hand can be transferred to the front line?
Fighting with the fierce generals of Wei State and promoting his name as Ah Hui Nan is right in front of you!
Unlike A Hui Nan who was hesitant about his ambition, Yu Jin had a gloomy face and his brows furrowed from time to time.
Will the Crown Prince of Hanzhong really reuse him as a subordinate general?
After he surrendered, the people around him, whether they were Wei Jun or Wudang Feijun, looked at him with contempt.
Perhaps Your Highness, like these people, thinks that I, Yu Wenze, am greedy for life and afraid of death?
but...
Isn’t it normal for people to want to live?
In Fancheng's situation, even if he persists, what's the point?
These people who are looking at him with disdain, don't they think about it, if he doesn't surrender, will your lives be saved?
He saved tens of thousands of lives!
He is not a coward!
Can...
Why doesn't everyone understand?
"The front is Xinye."
Ah Hui Nan looked at his 'trophy', the smile on his face was undisguised.
Yu Jin nodded lightly, but his back, forehead, and palms began to sweat unconsciously.
Getting closer and closer.
On the moat suspension bridge, under the dim light of the torch, Ah Hui Nan saw that the leader was none other than Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, whom he longed for.
He hurriedly jumped off his horse, walked quickly towards Liu Chan, and immediately half-kneeled in front of Liu Chan to salute.
"The last general, Ah Hui Nan, comes to see His Highness."
Liu Chan stepped forward, helped Ah Huinan up, and patted his thick shoulder hard.
"After descending to Fancheng in three days, I have established my reputation as a flying army. Your reputation, Ah Hui Nan, will soon be resounding throughout the nine provinces!"
Ah Huinan looked excited. He looked at Liu Chan and said, "It's all thanks to His Highness Hong Fu. The general is just following His Highness's footsteps."
"I know your contribution well. Don't worry, you will be able to fight this battle in the future."
After reminiscing with Ah Hui Nan, Liu Chan looked at Yu Jin behind Ah Hui Nan.
Yu Jin was wearing armor at the moment, and his strong body and tall body undoubtedly showed the courage and force of a general.
But at this moment, Yu Jin's face was downcast and the hair on his head was messy, making him look a little frustrated and embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, young Liu Chan is polite."
Liu Chan stepped forward and bowed to Yu Jin first.
"How does this work?"
Yu Jin was flattered, but panicked in his heart. He quickly stepped forward to help Liu Chan up.
"The general of the defeated army, the disciple who betrayed the Lord, has no face to show himself to others, how can he dare to accept the courtesy of His Highness?"
Yu Jin looked ashamed and did not dare to look at Liu Chan.
"Your Majesty is lying."
Liu Chan looked at Yu Jin with a smile on his face.
"Not only are the princes not defeated generals and traitors, but they are loyal ministers and good generals!"
Yu Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Highness, please stop joking. If you continue talking, Yu Jin will be embarrassed."
Liu Chan's face was solemn, and his serious tone didn't sound like he was joking at all, but instead seemed like he was sincerely confiding.
"The general wants to protect the lives of tens of thousands of people even if he is not willing to slander himself. Doesn't he have good intentions? If the monarch had not surrendered, I don't know how many more people would have died in Fancheng!"
Liu Chan's words made Yu Jin's eyes turn red, and tears started to fall down his face!
Your Highness, he understands me!
There are still people in this world who understand him!
move!
Yu Jin's tears couldn't stop flowing, but Liu Chan's words hadn't stopped yet.
"The prince was deceived by Cao Cao's thieves before, thinking that Cao Mengde was loyal to the emperor, so he fought for him. Now he suddenly wakes up and realizes that Meng De is not a Han official, but actually a Han traitor. To correct the chaos, he is following the trend of justice. Not only is he not betraying the master, but he is also a traitor. On the contrary, you are loyal to your majesty and to my great man, why should you blame yourself?"
Liu Chan grabbed Yu Jin's hand, patted the back of his hand gently, and said, "The Lord's loyalty and the Lord's painstaking efforts are all known to Zen."
"Your Highness!"
Yu Jin immediately knelt down, hugging Liu Chan's leg and burst into pain.
The grievances I received on this day and the glares I received on this day all seemed worth it.
Your Highness, he understands me!
Your Highness, he really kept his promise!
Liu Chan also leaned down, looked at Yu Jin who was crying, and said: "If you make a great contribution, all the rumors will disappear, and under my command, Mr. Liu, you will have the opportunity to make a contribution! "
Along the way, Yu Jin had already learned about the changes in the battle situation in Xiangfan and Nanyang in the past month.
Flooding the Seventh Army, sneak attack on Wancheng, conquering Xinye, ambushing Wenpin...
These things are inseparable from the young man in front of him.
Following Your Highness, I might as well be like the sun that sets in the west and rises in the east again!
He wiped the tears off his face and stood up slowly with Liu Chan's help.
"With Your Highness being so valued and comforted, I can only retaliate with death in the future. Don't worry, Your Highness, whether I am loyal or traitorous, a villain, a coward, or a hero, in the future, people in the world will naturally be able to see clearly!"
On this day when someone treats me coldly, I would rather die than die!
He will personally wash away the humiliation and stains on his body!
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Chan's eyes also showed relief.
"Your Majesty has been in battle for a long time and knows the situation in Wei very well. I have many questions about Zen and I need to ask you for advice. Now, a banquet has been prepared in the city. Please!"
"please!"
Liu Chan held Yu Jin's hand and the two quickly walked into the city.
Why doesn't Your Highness hold my hand?
Ah Hui Nan looked at Yu Jin with some jealousy.
I have made great achievements!
Seeing Ah Hui Nan, a fierce man with a look of resentment on his face, Fei Yi stepped forward with a smile and said:
"Your Highness, this is an act of restraint. It is precisely because Yu Jin is an outsider that Your Highness has to take measures to show to outsiders. The general is His Highness's humerus, just like an arm. Since he is one of our own, there is no need to perform these false rituals."
After hearing Fei Yi's words, the jealousy in Ah Huinan's heart immediately dissipated.
really!
His Highness's trust in me no longer needs to be expressed by holding hands.
If I have made meritorious deeds, wouldn't Your Highness still commend me for my meritorious deeds?
Thinking of this, Ah Hui'nan's mood improved again, and he followed Liu Chan into the city with his head held high.
Fei Yi looked at Guan Yinping, who was pouting and looking resentful. He couldn't comfort him.
He immediately lowered his head, pretending to be an ostrich, and quickly kept up with A Hui'nan's pace.
snort!
It’s heart-warming again!
Tonight, I'm afraid she will have to stay alone in the empty room again!
I don’t know why Lang Jun likes to sleep with these stinky men.
Am I not fragrant enough? Not soft enough?
That night.
At the mansion in Xinye City, Liu Chan, Yu Jin, A Huinan and others drank as much as they wanted. At night, Liu Chan and Yu Jin fell asleep. They talked all night and stayed up all night.
To sleep well and win people's hearts, the tradition of the old Liu family cannot be lost!
....
"General Xiaoguan actually asked me to come and see His Highness."
Starting from Wancheng City, Dongligun and Zong Ziqing led five hundred soldiers towards Xinye.
Both of them had doubts in their hearts.
"Perhaps General Xiaoguan regards us as one of his own."
He was not in a bad mood.
"Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has been in the limelight these past few months. He is such a hero. I, Dongligun, would like to see him."
See something?
"The Crown Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong is indeed a hero, but what's so good about him? Make meritorious service! Make meritorious service!"
His eldest son, Ziqing, sent the daughter of the clan family to Guan Ping's house in order to be reused by Guan Ping, hoping to control the soldiers in the city and perform great deeds at critical moments.
The results of it?
The past few days have been spent on filing documents, and the only harvest may be the Shu army's defense plan near Wancheng.
But what does this piece of news mean?
If you can offer Wancheng to the King of Wei, that will be a feat worthy of the title of Marquis!
"What if I stay in Xinye and never come back?"
He knew that Guan Ping might really regard him as one of his own.
Otherwise, they would not be allowed to visit Liu Chan.
Meeting the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, if Liu Chan can be reused, he will undoubtedly have a smooth career and a bright future.
Can...
The king of Hanzhong only occupied Yizhou and Jingzhou.
How is King Wei's opponent?
In Zong Ziqing's view, as long as the King of Wei uses a little more strength, Yun Chang will definitely lose, and Nanyang will definitely return to the hands of the King of Wei.
There is no future for following Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong!
"Now that he's here, he'll be safe. Could it be that Ziqing wants to flee to Xudu?"
Now is indeed the best time to escape to Xudu.
only...
What's the point of escaping to Xudu alone?
He wants to make meritorious deeds, he wants to be a high official with two thousand dan!
"Let's talk about it after meeting the Crown Prince of Hanzhong!"
Now, that's all he can do.
...
The next day.
Liu Chan, with two dark circles under his eyes, was eating sesame seed cakes and drinking meat and vegetable soup.
Beside him, Guan Yinping looked unhappy. She crossed her arms and drank some meat and vegetable soup, then stopped eating.
"Don't want to eat?"
"full."
I'm so angry with you.
Just sleep with those stinky men from now on!
Guan Yinping groaned and turned his head to the side, not even looking at Liu Chan.
This girl...
Liu Chan shook his head gently.
I just didn’t sleep with you for one night, right?
"Eat less, be careful of hunger. Today I plan to go to various places in Nanyang to investigate the situation and understand the folk customs. If the horse is too hungry to ride, I will not take you there."
Want to go out to investigate the situation?
Guan Yinping's beautiful eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
"I eat!"
She immediately picked up her rice bowl, drank a bowl of meat and vegetable soup in one gulp, then grabbed a piece of flatbread, swallowed it whole, and then drank another bowl of meat and vegetable soup.
After eating and drinking, Liu Chan took Guan Yinping, Yu Jin, Fei Yi and others, accompanied by more than a thousand people, and left the city to inspect various places in Nanyang.
He didn't want to run into Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun before he left the city.
Dongli Gun saw the crowd surrounding him, and the young man in the center of the stars naturally knew his identity.
Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong!
I saw that Mr. Liu had a handsome and handsome face, with two sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into his temples, a pair of phoenix eyes looking for power, a high nose bridge, thin lips tightly closed, long black hair scattered on his shoulders, and dark blue The robe is fluttering in the wind, he is indescribably free and easy, handsome, like a handsome young man.
The crown prince of Hanzhong really lived up to his reputation. Just from his appearance, you can tell that he is extraordinary.
But Zong Ziqing was looking at Liu Chan at this moment, but he had a different view in his heart.
Make meritorious service!
If we could capture Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and present him to the King of Wei, this would be a great achievement!
but...
This bold idea was quickly driven out of Zong Ziqing's mind.
This place can be said to be the hinterland of the Shu army. He only has 500 men under his command, and the Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Chan has only more elite soldiers than him. He does not need to have fewer soldiers. Being able to capture Liu Gongsi is already blessed by God.
Taking it to Xudu is even more idiotic.
"I, the Governor of Nanyang, Dongligun, pay homage to His Highness."
Dongligun was very sensible, jumped off his horse, and immediately paid homage to Liu Chan.
Zong Ziqing also reacted immediately.
"I, Nanyang Gong Cao Zongziqing, pay my respects to His Highness."
When Liu Chan saw the two people kneeling on the ground, he immediately said:
"Get up."
Out of respect, Liu Chan got off the horse.
He helped the two of them up and said, "I read General Guan's handwriting yesterday. You two were able to offer the city and surrender in time. You abandoned the secrets and surrendered to the light in time. Now you are serving under me. As long as you work hard, you will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. It is not a problem."
Dongli Gun stood up and said with admiration: "In recent days, I have heard about His Highness's reputation many times, and my ears have grown calluses. Now that I see His Highness in person, it is true! Your Highness has the talents of dragons and phoenixes, and he really has the aura of purple gold, a true dragon. meteorological."
Zong Ziqing looked at Dongligun with some contempt in his heart.
Where is your backbone?
Why did he start to flatter Liu Gongsi as soon as he saw him?
We want to dedicate the city to the King of Wei and make contributions to the King of Wei!
"Your Highness is as good as your face. You really have the talent for martial arts. Zong Ziqing admires you."
Dongli Gun had already praised Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, so it wouldn't have been abrupt if he didn't say anything.
Zong Ziqing could only praise Liu Chan.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Chan laughed twice, quite appreciating the two people's knowledge.
Since this person is in a high position, all he hears are naturally good words.
Loyalty is harsh to the ears, and nowadays Liu Chan hears it less and less.
This is not a good thing.
Liu Chan still knows about self-awareness.
Purple gold aura, true dragon aura?
When I, Liu Gongsi, conquer the world, it will happen naturally.
Even if there is no, some people will say there is.
But if he, Liu Chan, was defeated like a mountain, who would admit that he really has the aura of purple gold and the aura of a real dragon?
Success comes not from words, but from swords.
"I'm going to visit Nanyang today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to receive you two."
Dongligun said quickly to the side: "I am the governor of Nanyang, and I know the situation in Nanyang County well. If your highness does not dislike it, I hope that my subordinates can follow you."
Follow around?
If His Highness is led to Wancheng, maybe...
Zong Ziqing's eyes lit up.
"I hope His Highness will allow me to follow you."
Liu Chan looked at Dongligun and Zong Ziqing and nodded slightly.
"Forget it, I will allow you two to follow with the army."
certainly...
The five hundred people they have at their disposal will definitely not be able to follow them.
To Zong Ziqing's disappointment, Liu Chan did not go to Wancheng, but went northwest.
This trip is to Rang County.
By the time Liu Chan arrived in Rang County, it was already sunset.
Outside Rangxian County, the armies led by Liao Hua and Xiang Chong had already surrounded Rangxian County. The camps that had previously stood outside Rangxian County were also removed in advance.
If it weren't for the concern about losses and the Wei army reinforcements from the champion county behind, Rang County would have been defeated long ago.
Liu Chan and his party arrived. Liao Hua and Xiang Chong had received the news this morning and hurriedly greeted them outside the camp.
"The last general, Liao Hua (Xiang Chong), pays homage to His Highness."
"No need to be polite."
Liu Chan said with a smile on his face: "How is the situation?"
Liao Hua looked calm and said: "Yesterday we just uprooted the enemy's camp outside the city and killed more than a thousand of them. As for Rang County, His Highness has orders not to attack by force, so we can only lay siege to the city."
Xiang Chong's eyes were full of fighting spirit and he allowed Wenpin to escape, but he still feels resentful about it now.
"This Rang County is not even as good as Xinye. I ask Your Highness to allow me to attack the city. Within three days, I will be able to capture Rang County and bring Wenpin's head in front of Your Highness."
Liu Chan shook his head slightly.
"It's good to have the will to fight, but it's not enough to just have the will to fight. Why do you have to worry about Wenpin? Now you have lost your sense of proportion?"
Liu Chan looked at Xiang Chong, with a look of blame in his words and expression.
"Your Highness, I..."
Xiang Chong opened his mouth, thinking about what he had said and done these days, and fell silent.
"Does Wenpin have any grudge against you?"
"Of course Wenpin and I have no grudges."
"It's just that the ambush has not been completed. Could it be that in the future, if your actions are not effective and you feel unhappy, you will keep it in your mind every day. In order to feel smooth, you will not even care about the overall situation and the lives of your soldiers? But?"
Liu Chan's words made Xiang Chong break into cold sweat.
He quickly knelt down in front of Liu Chan.
"After hearing what His Highness said today, Chong Zhong knew that he was wrong. That Wenpin originally had no grudge against me, but now I will always keep it in mind. I am blinded by the grudge. It's me who is hysterical."
"Recognizing mistakes can greatly improve things."
Liu Chan helped Xiang Chong up and said meaningfully: "Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life. No one can guarantee that he can accomplish everything and do it well, not even me?"
Not even Your Highness?
"No, anything His Highness wants to do can be done!"
In Xiang Chong's heart, Liu Chan is omnipotent.
"Hahaha, you think so highly of me, can I make Wei King Cao Mengde surrender? Can I make Jiangdong be used by me? At least not now!"
If I, Mr. Liu, are capable of doing anything, then let Zhen Mi be sent to my account.
If you can't even accomplish this, how can you say that you can do anything?
"Adjust your mentality. Now I ask you, how can we defeat Rangxian County, and how can we pacify Nanyang?"
How can Rangxian be defeated and Nanyang be pacified?
Xiang Chong started thinking on the side.
Liu Chan looked at Yu Jin, Zong Ziqing, Dongligun, Fei Yi and others with a look of expectation in his eyes.
Nowadays, there are countless talented scholars under his command, and there are even more people who can make suggestions.
"You might as well think about it together."
Zong Ziqing thought for a moment and then said immediately: "The way to use troops is to attack the heart first, and attack the city next. Fighting with the heart is the highest, and fighting with soldiers is the lowest. If you can defeat the enemy's troops without fighting, this is naturally the best strategy."
Liu Chan looked at Zong Ziqing and nodded, approving of Zong Ziqing's opinion.
"Yes, subduing the enemy's army without fighting is the best policy. So how can we defeat the enemy's army without fighting?"
How can one defeat others without fighting?
Yu Jin spoke at this time.
"A certain person has a good relationship with Wenpin and Xu Shang. If I serve as a lobbyist and go to Rang County, I can persuade them to surrender. This will have the effect of subduing the enemy without fighting."
Make meritorious deeds!
Now the credit is really in front of me.
Yu Jin was quite famous among the Wei army.
Especially this Xu Shang, who had served as a general under him before. With this relationship, he was confident that he could conquer Rang County with his words.
"A prince is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so he should not go deep into dangerous situations."
Hearing Liu Chan's words, Yu Jin suddenly became anxious.
"Everything is dangerous. This matter will be certain in the end. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Find wealth in danger!
How can we achieve success without taking some risks?
Han Yao stepped forward to offer advice at this moment: "This county captain of Rang County is from the Han family in Duyang. If I send you a letter from my subordinates, he will definitely bring order to the chaos. By late at night, he will open the city gate and welcome us into the city." .”
The advantage of having the support of the Nanyang nobles was immediately apparent.
Attack the city with your life?
Is it useful?
The people who guard the city are from the Nanyang gentry, and the officials are also from the Nanyang gentry. No matter how loyal Wenpin is, and no matter how much he wants to sacrifice his life for the King of Wei, the people under him will not sacrifice their lives for him.
Liu Chan looked at Xiang Chong with a smile and said, "So, do you understand?"
clear!
Xiang Chong nodded heavily.
"Listening to His Highness's words, Chong felt as if he had been studying for ten years. Originally, I was full of passion and blinded by hatred. I thought of attacking the city, but I didn't know there was a better way. Alas! If His Highness hadn't arrived, I would have almost lost my life. The sacrifice of the soldiers was in vain."
Liu Chan smiled softly and said: "I hope you can keep in mind what happened today. As a general and a commander, you must not act on your own initiative!"
Xiang Chong cupped his fists and saluted Liu Chan.
"Students understand!"
How many other teachers are there who teach as earnestly as His Highness?
Xiang Chong's admiration for Liu Chan has reached a new level.
"Zihong, I will leave it to you to contact the county captain of Rang County. In two days, we will capture Rang County!"
Han Yao nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, winning Rang County is a sure thing!"
"very good!"
Liu Chan looked around at his advisers and generals in front of the camp, and said with a smile: "What's the point of staying outside the camp? Why don't you receive some welcome?"
Liao Hua and Xiang Chong quickly confessed and said: "Your Highness, please!"
....
late at night.
Zong Ziqing walked outside Dongligun's tent. After spending a day with Liu Chan, he couldn't sleep at night.
"Master Fu, have you gone to bed?"
No human voice came from Dongligun's tent.
"Master Fu, have you gone to bed?"
Zong Ziqing's voice became louder.
There has been no response from the camp.
"Master Fu, have you gone to bed?"
This time his voice had already attracted the patrolling soldiers around.
Seeing that it was Zong Ziqing, they dispersed.
In Dongligun's camp, Dongligun's voice finally came.
"I am here."
There was a flickering sound in the tent, and then a bright light was lit.
"come in."
Zong Ziqing walked into the camp and saw Dongligun wearing single clothes and yawning at the moment.
"It turns out that the Lord of the Palace has not gone to bed either."
Dongligun's mind was filled with dark thoughts.
You were awake. I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up!
"What time is it, what are you doing here?" Dongli Gun said in a bad tone. Anyone who had slept well would not be in a good mood if they were disturbed.
"Why!"
Zong Ziqing sighed deeply and said, "I was deeply moved when I met the Crown Prince of Hanzhong today. He is truly an outstanding person!"
Whether it was recruiting the generals under his command, making suggestions, or giving guidance, Gongsi Liu seemed to be a born leader.
The advisers and generals under him followed and respected him wholeheartedly.
Especially after briefly understanding the Jiangwu Hall and the Chongwen Hall, Zong Ziqing understood even more clearly that the Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi was definitely not a thing in the pond!
In just a few days, he had won all the Nanyang nobles to his side.
Now, there is another person from the same clan as him, Uncle Zong Hui, who is making suggestions under his account.
This Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi has the appearance of a wise master!
Seeing the troubled look on Zong Ziqing's face, Dongli Gun didn't know what he was thinking.
"I think the crown prince of Hanzhong is no ordinary person. Nanyang is already in his hands. It may not be easy for the Wei army to take it away. Ziqing has already married a daughter of his own clan to Guan Ping, and he is already with the Hou Tinghou of Han Dynasty. In-laws, if you are working under His Highness’s account now, you may not be able to make meritorious deeds.”
In fact, this is what Zong Ziqing is struggling with.
"It's just... I have sent the Wancheng defense plan to Ye County, and now I am in charge of the Wei army. What can I do?"
Those who contacted the Wei army that day were his Zong Ziqing, Dongligun and Ying Yu.
Dongligun is very free and easy.
"Your Highness is an open-minded person. He can tolerate the descendants of Yu Jin, so why can't he tolerate us? Besides, by contacting the Wei army, he may not be able to do meritorious service for you and me!"
Zong Ziqing's eyes gradually brightened.
yes!
Why didn't I think of that!
Since the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, Mr. Liu Gongsi, is so capable, then why should I rebel?
Anyway, I have to be a two-thousand-stone minister. Where should I do it?
As soon as I thought about it, I felt that the world was vast.
"What the Master said is absolutely true!"
After all, we are just dogs, and it is an honor for his eldest son to be His Highness’s dog!
King Wei?
Who is that?
So unfamiliar!
Now Zong Ziqing only has Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, in his eyes!
He is now my Zong Ziqing’s lord. As for King Cao Cao of Wei, get away as far as you can!
