Chapter 695: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (17)

Standing in the ruins of Ma'anshan, Pan Hong became more and more frightened as he thought about it. If things were really as he imagined, what role did Zhengdong Kingdom play in Zilan's death? Now the Eastern Expedition Army has assembled heavy troops in Daijun. The infantry has more than a thousand cavalry. Ye Zhen has brought another 5,000 people, and Naha has 3,000 infantry in Xiling City. In a short period of time, The Eastern Expeditionary Army actually sent more than 10,000 troops to Daijun. This was a more elite force than the standing army of Zhao State, and they appeared in Daijun as friends of Daijun. No one was prepared to guard them. They could Free access to any place in Dai County.

"Sir, sir!" The guard beside him shouted several times before Pan Hong was awakened from his meditation.

"What's the matter?" Pan Hong asked.

"What should we do now?" the guard asked.

"Let's go to Nanzhang and Qin Lei."

"Aren't you going to Hefeng?" the guard asked in surprise. Hefeng was already close at hand, and the gentleman wanted to take a detour to Nanzhang.

"I'm not going." Pan Hong shook his head and handed the crossbow arrow in his hand to the guard, "Put it away!"

The two chose a road to go down the mountain. Traces of war could still be seen everywhere. Pan Hong felt heavy. Zilan's sudden departure gave him an unparalleled blow. Looking forward to the future, it was really difficult for him to see clearly. Where is the road?

The guard suddenly stopped and with a choke, he unsheathed his sword and laid it across his chest. Pan Hong, who was looking down and thinking about something, almost bumped into the guard in front of him. Looking up, he was shocked. On the narrow mountain road, a young man in black stood quietly, blocking their way down the mountain.

"Who are you?" Pan Hong asked in a deep voice.

The young man in black looked past the guards in front and towards Pan Hong. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Pan, you should go to Hefeng."

"People from the Eastern Conquest Army?" Pan Hong's heart skipped a beat.

"Conquering the Eastern Army, Supervisory Yuan Cao Tianci!" The young man in black clasped his hands in his fists. He cupped his hands towards Pan Hong and said, "Mr. Pan, can we have a chat?"

"Of course. I also have a lot of doubts in my heart, and I hope I can find the answers from Dean Cao." When he heard the name Cao Tianci, Pan Hong knew who he was facing.

"Mr. Pan, please come!" Cao Tianci extended his hand to give way.

Pan Hong took a deep breath, and when he passed the guard, he said hastily: "Run immediately, and you will have a chance to get into the woods on the side.

Escape down the mountain. Then go to Nanzhang, find Qin Lei, and tell him to be careful of the Eastern Army. "

When he finished saying this, Pan Hong had completely surpassed the guard, and his body happened to block the guard's figure at this time. "I really didn't expect to meet Dean Cao here. It's really beyond my expectation."

Cao Tianci smiled slightly but said nothing. At this moment, the guard behind Pan Hong suddenly jumped up. He threw himself into the forest on the side. Seeing the guard disappear into the jungle, Pan Hong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head. When he saw that the smile on Cao Tianci's lips had not changed at all due to this unexpected incident, his heart sank.

"Why bother!" Cao Tianci shook his head.

Sure enough, in the jungle, there was a brief sound of weapons clashing, followed by a scream. Pan Hong's expression changed drastically. He could recognize the scream as the voice of his own guard.

"Mr. Pan, we are friends of Daijun. Not enemies." Cao Tianci said calmly.

"You are not enemies, but evil guests." Pan Hong clenched his fists tightly. Staring at each other fiercely, "Dean Cao. If I'm not wrong, my husband's death has something to do with you. You are here to help us in name, but in fact, you are plotting to seize Dai County, yes or no ?”

"We are indeed here to help Daijun." Cao Tianci shook his head and said: "Now Zhao Yong is the governor of Daijun, isn't he? We even mobilized soldiers and horses to come to Daijun under our extremely difficult circumstances. , if our guess is correct, it won't be long before Zhao Qi leads the army to attack Daijun again. Without us, you can't protect Daijun. "

"You don't seize it now just because the time is not yet ripe and you haven't completed your layout yet, so you will take action to help the young master stabilize the situation in Daijun. When everything is mature, Daijun will become yours." Not too?" Pan Hong asked.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Cao Tianci spread his hands and said, "Mr. Pan, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing. You have been a friend of Mr. Zilan for many years and have assisted Mr. Zilan for many years. , it should be clear that if Daijun falls into the hands of King Zhao, the line of Mr. Zilan will probably be cut off. "

"You are right." Pan Hong looked up to the sky and took a long breath, "But you forgot, I am still a Zhao. How could I watch you Yan people plot to seize our Daijun."

"Are we really not friends?" Cao Tianci's face changed slightly, "Chiang Yizheng of Zhengdong Mansion still admires Mr. Pan very much. If Mr. Pan is willing, Mr. Pan will be given an important position in Zhengdong Mansion."

"Don't even think about it." Pan Hong said angrily, "When a man lives in the world, he will do something and not do something. It is simply impossible for me to do something for you."

"That's such a shame." Cao Tianci shook his head, turned around and left. Cao Tianci's original position was occupied by several men in black who jumped out from the jungle on both sides of the road. They all held sharp steel knives in their hands.

Looking at Cao Tianci's back, Pan Hong cursed angrily: "Those who do evil will eventually die, Cao Tianci, Dai County will never fall into your hands. Even if you kill me, there are still people with discerning eyes in Dai County."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see!" Cao Tianci did not look back. With a sneer, he made a gesture with his hands behind his back, and several men in black immediately rushed over with knives.

Half an hour later, two more bodies appeared in the big pit dug out from the trees in the forest. The cold soil covered them and quickly filled the ground. The snow piled on one side covered them. After a simple treatment, they were no different from the two sides. When the snow melted next spring and the spring grass grew, no one would have thought that under this piece of grass, an important figure who once called the wind and rain in Dai County was buried.

The war in Dai County was raging, but Shannan County, far away from Dai County, was calm. Since the King of Zhao decided to attack Dai County, the Qin general Wang Jian, who had been seeking to retake Shannan County, unexpectedly withdrew his troops for dozens of miles, pretending to allow Shannan County's governor Feng Fayong to dispatch troops back to Dai County for rescue and would never attack. However, to the disappointment of the Qin people, from the beginning of the Dai County war to the end, the 20,000 most elite troops of Dai County led by Feng Fayong were like nails stuck in Shannan County, without any intention of moving.

Wang Jian, who was helpless, finally came to the city again when the Dai County war came to an end. However, facing Shannan County, which was already very strong and had been continuously reinforced by Feng Fayong in recent years, Wang Jian still had no way to deal with it, although he had more soldiers and horses.

In the city of Shannan County, Feng Fayong sat in the dark. It had been dark for a long time, but there was no light in the house. On this day, countless news was pouring in Dai County. Feng Fayong was not an ordinary general. He had served in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for many years, and his sources of news were extremely wide and accurate.

Zilan Xianggong had unfortunately passed away. The 5,000 cavalrymen of the Eastern Expedition Army, led by Ye Zhen, had entered Dai County. Zhao Mu was dead, and Zhao Qi was gathering troops in Guangyang. It was very likely that he would attack Dai County again. This time, Zhao Qi would never make the same mistake again. Because of Zilan Xianggong's death, how much resistance Dai County still had had has become an unknown, and the large-scale entry of the Eastern Expedition Army was even more meaningful.

He was far away in Shannan County, and where to go was also affecting the hearts of countless people.

In the darkness, there were light footsteps, and the voice of the general Liu Xuan came over, "General Feng, the Qin envoy has asked to see you many times, and he comes to the general's mansion every day to make noise, which is annoying."

"Liu Xuan, do you know who this Qin man is?" Feng Fayong's voice came faintly.

"I'm not interested in knowing who he is." Liu Xuan said angrily, "In my opinion, killing him with one sword is the cleanest."

Haha! Feng Fayong laughed: "This man is Zhongli, the leader of the Qin Black Ice Platform, and he is the Marquis of Guannei!"

"It's him!" Liu Xuan exclaimed, "He is so brave that he dares to come to my Shannan County alone."

"Of course he has the courage. Now my Dai County is in turmoil, and the Qin people think their chance has come. Liu Xuan, let me ask you, if Zhongli comes to persuade you to surrender, and the conditions he offers are very tempting, will you surrender to the Qin people?"

"I will never surrender to the Qin people even if I die!" Liu Xuan was shocked, "General, you..."

"Don't worry , I have fought the Qin people for half my life, how could I surrender to them?" Feng Fayong smiled, "Since you think he is noisy, let him in and send him away!"

Zhongli walked into the lobby leisurely under the angry eyes of the guards in the general's mansion. The lights were already on in the room. Feng Fayong, dressed in casual clothes, looked at Zhongli with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhong, I have heard of your fame for a long time. Today I finally see the real person. I am very lucky, very lucky." Feng Fayong bowed and smiled.

Zhongli also smiled and bowed in return. "General Feng is the first person who has changed his profession from a general to a general with a large army. I admire him."

"Lord Zhong, we have been enemies for generations. You actually have the courage to enter my Shannan City alone. I have to admire you. You should also know that killing you is a great achievement!" Feng Fayong laughed.

"I am now an envoy from the Qin people. When two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. If General Feng was still the general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I would definitely not come, but you are now the defender of Shannan County. General Bei, I dare to come. What's more, I came here for General Feng's great wealth in this life."

"Great wealth?" Feng Fayong laughed, "Mr. Zhong is here to persuade us to surrender?"

"It's not persuading us to surrender!" Zhongli shook his head repeatedly, "Qin and Zhao are not at war now, so how can we persuade them to surrender? General Feng, the reason why I came here in person is because General Feng used to be our colleague and a leader in this field. I think we will have a lot in common." (To be continued) ()
