"It's almost noon. Governor Liu is going to publicly execute the traitor's family members. Let's go and have a look!"
"Yes, yes, let's go together! We won't be able to see the traitor Zhang Nan being executed, but it's good to see his family members!"
"Don't worry, it will be Zhang Nan's turn sooner or later!"
. . .
Another burst of impassioned abuse!
The people were not satisfied with the execution of Zhang Nan's family members, and they wanted to cut Zhang Nan's body into thousands of pieces immediately.
It was these mindless insults that made Zhang Nan wake up instantly.
It's almost noon, which means the whole family will be dead!
Zhang Nan was so excited that he immediately ran towards the execution ground without caring about the people around him.
Fortunately, I am very familiar with Jiangling City, otherwise it would be too late!
Zhang Nan's eyes were red, and he ran like crazy regardless of his physical weakness and discomfort.
During this period, he knocked down an unknown number of people and caused countless abuses.
Zhang Nan can't care so much anymore. Anyone who dares to stop him will die!
After going through hardships and overcoming all dangers, he returned to Jiangling in order to achieve great success and completely make the Zhang family rise.
But now, is it possible to watch his family members being beheaded together?
Just when Zhang Nan ran frantically towards the execution ground, the execution ground was almost ready.
In order to show strict military discipline and rectify officials, Liu Bei personally served as the executioner this time, and Zhuge Liang served as his deputy.
Everything went as Zhuge Liang expected. Since Zhang Nan was publicly announced as a spy, the morale of the troops stationed in Jiangling has greatly increased.
The soldiers demanded to capture Zhang Nan to avenge their dead brother.
The morale of the army was reunited and the combat strength was restored to its original state. Liu Bei was immediately overjoyed.
All this at almost no real cost.
If there was a price, it would be the dozen or so people who knelt down on the execution ground.
The older one is fifty or sixty years old, and the younger one is just a brat.
More than ten people in the family were all crying inconsolably, and the wails were quite heart-shaking.
There was a hint of intolerance in Liu Bei's eyes.
The reason is simple: these people are most likely innocent.
From beginning to end, neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang had any evidence that it was Zhang Nan who tipped off Liu Zhang.
Everything is based on speculation.
According to Zhuge Liang, if among all the impossibilities, there is one that is more likely, that is the answer.
And Zhang Nan is naturally the most likely of all impossibilities.
"Why..."
Liu Bei sighed softly and shook his head in confusion.
Since Zhang Nan followed him, he has had no outstanding performance and has not made any mistakes.
It's mediocre and useful.
For Liu Bei, he can definitely be regarded as a meritorious minister.
How could Liu Bei's conscience not be condemned when he killed all the meritorious officials and their entire families without any evidence?
"My lord, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!"
"The morale of the three armies is strong and their morale is ready!"
Zhuge Liang seemed to see Liu Bei's heart and gave a subtle reminder.
"Now that Zhang Nan has been openly declared to be a traitor, if we don't kill the whole family, how can the soldiers have the fighting spirit to resist Liu Zhang once he attacks?"
When Liu Zhang's attack was mentioned, Liu Bei's eyes clearly showed some determination.
Yes, to Jingzhou Daye, what does Zhang Nan’s family mean?
"Don't worry, Kong Ming, I won't be unkind to a woman at this time!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, he believed Liu Bei would be able to do this.
"Lord, although we have no concrete evidence, Zhang Nan is the most suspicious!"
"In other words, what happened to Zhang Nan's family was entirely due to Zhang Nan, not the Lord."
"Thinking about the tragic deaths of our soldiers, my lord, do you still think Zhang Nan's family is innocent?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly filled with fierce light.
Yes, there are only a dozen people in Zhang Nan's family, but where are the dead soldiers?
The 20,000-strong army in the north of the Yangtze River was completely wiped out, and the nearly 50,000-strong army in the south of the Yangtze River lost 10,000 without any fighting!
If the Zhang Nan family is innocent, then who should they go to for explanation for the more than 30,000 people killed and injured?
The original ending was that Liu Zhang was defeated and captured, and the three states of Yi, Yong, and Liang were advanced to Liu Bei.
Due to Zhang Nan's rebellion, not only the loss of troops and generals, but also the general Guan Yu and the commander-in-chief Xu Shu fell into the hands of the enemy!
"Kill! Should be killed"
The more Liu Bei thought about it, the angrier he became, and he roared angrily.
The intolerance and pity in his eyes before were completely gone.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, with a hidden smile on his lips.
It doesn't actually matter whether the person who leaked the secret is Zhang Nan, as long as everyone thinks it is Zhang Nan.
Zhuge Liang cannot be blamed for this matter, but Zhang Nan's lack of political status can be blamed!
Zhang Nan is not a native of Jingzhou, and his life and death will not cause internal turmoil in Jingzhou.
Is it possible for Guan Yu to be labeled as a rebel?
Therefore, only Zhang Nan, who is not from the Jingzhou faction, is the perfect victim.
In other words, if Zhang Nan is really a spy, then Zhang Nan's family deserves to die.
If Zhang Nan is not a spy, he can be regarded as making the greatest contribution to Liu Bei Group and Zhuge Liang!
"Lord, it's almost time..."
Zhuge Liang looked at the sky and spoke appropriately to remind him.
All the impacts of the Xiaoting Fire will cease completely when Zhang Nan’s family falls to the ground.
Jingzhou is still Liu Bei's Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang is still Liu Bei's number one plotter!
Liu Bei took a few deep breaths, then stood up and shouted angrily in front of him.
"The time has come!"
"cut!"
After the word "Zhan" came out, Zhang Nan's family burst into tears again, their voices full of unwillingness and injustice.
Unfortunately, these cries can only arouse everyone's hatred.
Who would pity the traitor's family?
The executioner's knife was already raised, and all the dozen or so members of Zhang Nan's family were restrained.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, his eyes full of indifference.
If there are no accidents, everything will pass in a few blinks of an eye.
It's a pity that accidents always happen when you think there are no accidents!
Just as Liu Zhang knew about the fire in Xiaoting in advance, a hoarse roar suddenly came out.
"Save someone under the knife!"
Everyone present was attracted by the roar, and even the executioner couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
Among them, Zhang Nan's family, who were about to be killed, looked the most excited. This voice was so familiar to them!
If it’s not Zhang Nan, then who is it?
In a few breaths, Zhang Nan flew into the execution ground.
After confirming that all his family members were safe, Zhang Nan ran directly to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang without reminiscing about the past.
"My lord, Zhang Nan is wronged!"
Everything happened so suddenly, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang never expected that Zhang Nan would suddenly appear here.
Especially Zhuge Liang, his eyes were full of surprise.
Wasn't Zhang Nan captured alive by Liu Zhang?
Why is he here?
Had Zhang Nan returned to Gangneung a long time ago and had to show up after seeing his family members dead?
still. . .
The soldiers and people around were all in a panic.
They clearly remembered that Liu Bei said that Zhang Nan had lost his trace.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang pointed his feather fan and suddenly issued an order.
"Come here, capture the traitor!"
