The Zhengxi Mansion is vigorously launching a plan to annex Xingtan. Zhong Roulan has quietly taken Huizhou and joined forces with Zhuo Tianya in Jiujiang. Zhuo Tianya was ordered to go north to Xizhou to respond to Meng Yan. Zhong Roulan personally led the Qingluan army to approach Jin.

Zhoucheng.

After the defeat at Luling, Fan Lihu instantly lost Chuzhou, which he had run for many years. He could no longer hate Tang Yuan for his betrayal. He drank his sorrow all day long and stayed at the city gate.

Chang Li’s letter is also dealt with.

The death of Fan Zhenshi was a huge blow to him. At least this was a fact recognized by all Jinzhou officials. In addition to military affairs in Jinzhou, he occasionally intervened, and most other matters were handled by Jinzhou Bijia Song Jian.

Originally, Song Jian was a military official in Fan Lihu's army. When Fan Lihu arrived in Jinzhou, the governor of Jinzhou actually wanted to conspire with Duan Wan. After Fan Lihu found out, he immediately purged everyone in Jinzhou, which allowed Song Jian to stand out.

On that day, he was originally asked to temporarily act as the county magistrate of Jinzhou City. Unexpectedly, this guy managed Jinzhou City in an orderly manner in less than a month. Fan Lihu praised him and asked him to stay away from Jinzhou.

The position of governor of Jinzhou was controlled by Fan Lihu himself, so all matters in Jinzhou except military affairs were handled by Song Jian.

"General, Huizhou has been captured by Nanchen, and Jinzhou is now an isolated city. General, please make a decision." Song Jian frowned as he looked at Fan Lihu, who was in a state of intoxication.

"What are you afraid of! Write a letter to Duan Wan and tell him that if we can't deal with that little bitch Zhong Roulan, our Jinzhou will never send troops." Fan Lihu said drunkenly, he thought Jinzhou was a hotpot.

Song Jian really hates him, but Fan Lihu is the person in charge of Jinzhou. Although the 70,000-strong army cannot be underestimated, today is different from the past. The value of Jinzhou has depreciated greatly after Huizhou was captured. It is estimated that it is now to Duan Wan

He may not even bother asking for help.

"General! Please wake up! Jinzhou is already an isolated city. We now have Tangyuan in the east looking at him eagerly, Zhendong Army in the north blocking the road, Zheng Beifu stationing troops in Jiangyou in the south, and Qingluan troops arriving outside the city in the west. We have

Surrounded!" Song Jian blurted out without paying attention to etiquette.

Earlier, Song Jian had persuaded Fan Lihu to march into Huizhou to seize favorable terrain and cooperate with Duan Wan to limit Dongyang City's westward expansion strategy. However, Fan Lihu believed that Yuan Changli and Duan Wan were unworthy people, and he was unwilling to let them down. Now,

Well, everything is in vain. Jinzhou is already in Zhong Roulan's pocket. He can't run away. How to survive is the question.

Fan Lihu is dead. He doesn't want to lose all his ambitions to Fan Lihu. He prefers to join Nanchen. Nanchen's national destiny has begun and it occupies the entire southeast. There are old people like Zhong Jue sitting in charge, and there are also people like Xiao Yu and Meng Yan.

The up-and-comers in the country are more eclectic in recruiting talents. Whether you are a member of a poor family or a member of an aristocratic family, as long as you are talented, you will be reused. Zhuo Bailing, Quartz, Gu Yingfeng, and Gu Yanfeng are the best.

example.

"How dare you talk to me like that! Come here! Take this ignorant guy out and beat him hard!" Fan Lihu said angrily.

After that, two men came in at the door and dragged Song Jian out. Song Jian didn't resist or say anything, and allowed the two men to pull him out. As soon as he reached the door, one of them whispered: "

Mr. Song, we all know that you have good intentions and are thinking about our future. If you are wronged, the execution brothers will show mercy."

Song Jian nodded and smiled. People's hearts can be used. It seems that the people in the army have a lot of opinions about Fan Lihu.

After Yitong was executed, although he was merciful, he was beaten and bruised all over his body. He was dragged in front of Fan Lihu. Fan Lihu frowned and said, "Song Jian, you must know that if you can do this Jinzhou Farewell, I gave it to you.

It’s nothing if I don’t give you anything!”

Then he waved his hand impatiently and asked someone to take Song Jian out, so as not to disturb his good mood of drinking. Fan Lihu thought that as long as Jinzhou was still in his hands, Yuan Changli and Duan Wan would be intimidated. But Zhong Roulan, a little girl,

What can Tangyuan, a small commander, do to him?

Qingluan's army had crossed the Jinjiang River and reached the east bank, which was only thirty miles away from Jinzhou City. Zhong Roulan ordered to stop the advance and stationed troops on the east bank of the Jinjiang River, just setting up an attack formation.

"Murong, what's going on in Jinzhou City?" Zhong Roulan had her hair tied up, a suit of strong armor, a sword on her waist, and deerskin boots on her feet, looking very heroic.

Murong Changfeng covered his face armor and said in a low voice: "The princess, the officials in the city and some Chuzhou soldiers are very dissatisfied with Fan Lihu. This morning Fan Lihu beat Song Jian of Jinzhou Biejia for some unknown reason. I'm afraid it will happen."

Cause more people to be dissatisfied.”

"Well, continue to investigate. I don't want to lose too many lives in Jinzhou City. Many of Jinzhou's 70,000 garrison are from Chuzhou. It's best if they can use no weapons." Zhong Roulan said to Jinzhou.

Her attitude is gentle, she really doesn't want to lose too much, Zhuo Tianya can only threaten Xizhou, Xizhou's affairs should be resolved by herself.

"Fan Lihu is also a rare general in the Ling Dynasty. It will be difficult to win him easily." Murong Changfeng did not agree with Zhong Roulan's attitude.

Zhong Roulan moved her neck and said with a smile: "Murong, you are too murderous. Our Qingluan Army is still too weak. We can't even compare with the Zhendong Army. The 70,000 people in Jinzhou are all battle-hardened."

Officers, if we join the Qingluan Army, we will have the capital to compete with others."

Murong thought for a moment and said: "I understand what the princess means. My subordinates will do their best to create panic and chaos in Jinzhou City."

"Try to communicate with Song Jian and see what his attitude is. I heard that this person is quite capable. Jinzhou is governed well by him. If he can take the initiative to join me, I think Jinzhou City will be obtained."

." Zhong Roulan said, looking in the direction of Jinzhou.

It was night, because Song Jian had a back injury, he could only lie down on the bed to rest. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open. Song Jian took a closer look and saw that it was his personal guard. He whispered softly: "Sir, there are three people coming outside.

He is an uninvited guest, they say he is from Sanniangzi."

"Sanniang?" After Song Jian heard this, he quickly struggled to sit up. Sanniang was exactly what Zhong Roulan called him. At this time, Zhong Roulan secretly sent someone to see him, and it must have something to do with Jinzhou.

For the sake of caution, Song Jian asked the guards to lead the three people into the inner room. After a while, he saw a man wearing a mask walking in under the leadership of the guards.

Song Jian was a little unhappy, and he wore a mask when meeting people, so there was no way he was being candid.

Only a cold voice came from the mask: "Master Song, Luantai envoy Murong Changfeng is polite."

Song Jian was startled again. Luantai Messenger, which was the codename of Zhong Roulan’s confidant and spy, immediately became nervous and vigilant, and said, "I wonder why Mr. Murong came to my place?"

"I'm here to save Mr. Song's life." Murong Changfeng's voice changed through the mask and made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh? I, Mr. Song, am living a good life in Jinzhou. Why don't you come to rescue me? But doesn't Mr. Murong know that General Fan is from the imperial court?" Song Jian's tone was not polite.

"Does Duke Song really think so? If Duke Song were foolish enough to be loyal to the Ling Dynasty, Murong Changfeng would be bound."

"Mr. Murong, there is no need to beat around the bush. Since you can easily enter Jinzhou City, there must be a lot of your insiders in this city. If you have anything to say, just say it." Song Jian was not used to talking to such a person.

"Master Song is open and honest, so I will stop beating around the bush. The princess wants to live in peace with Master Song."

"Live in peace? Does the princess want me to dedicate the city?" Song Jian was not surprised.

"Yes, Jinzhou's 70,000 troops and horses accounted for how many children of the state. Master Song must know better than me. Why should we be tit-for-tat as one family? The demise of the Ling Dynasty is just a matter of time. Who else in the world is more worthy of the Chen Kingdom's trust?

"Murong Changfeng admired Song Jian very much. He could guess Zhong Roulan's intention without any explanation.

"I'm just an individual driver. The one who actually controls the power in Jinzhou is General Fan. Why don't you go to General Fan but to me?" Song Jian began to test, which was also the beginning of bargaining.

"Hahaha! Master Song, why do you ask questions knowingly? If I don't understand the situation in the city, how can I come to discuss it with you in person?" Murong Changfeng's laughter sounded hard to hear.

Song Jian frowned and felt a little disgusted by Murong Changfeng's smile, but Murong Changfeng's words entered his heart. He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Murong, I understand what the princess means. What do you mean to me?"

It seems that there is a lot of research, and it is a great honor for the princess to think highly of Mr. Song, but what do you plan to do with Fan Lihu?"

"Kill!" Murong Changfeng's answer was simple, but shocking.

Song Jian hesitated. No matter how Fan Lihu treated him, he ended up where he is today because of Fan Lihu. This was the gift of knowing and meeting him. How could he just watch him be killed? If he did this, wouldn't he be despised by everyone in the world.

Murong Changfeng saw Song Jian's hesitation, "Master Song, are you still familiar with Master Han Kou?"

"Lord Han is naturally familiar with it. The governor of Ninghai County used to be the leading counselor in Chuzhou Army." Song Jian was a little confused. He mentioned Han Kou at this time but didn't know why. He knew that Han Kou was now

Qingluan Jiedushi was the Sima of the Envoy and was also the governor of the state. What does this have to do with him?

"The princess didn't want to say these words at this time, but I am a spy, and everything is based on profit. If you join me, you will be the long history of the Qingluan Army Jiedushi Mansion, and the princess appreciates you very much.

ability, I plan to make you the governor of Huizhou."

This time Song Jian was even more confused. He thought Zhong Roulan would let him serve as the governor of Jinzhou, but now the governor of Huizhou didn't know where to start, "Master Murong, it's not that I don't want to, but Fan Lihu said to me

I really can't bear the kindness of knowing someone."

"Fan Lihu was also kind to Mr. Han, but you must be aware of what happened to Mr. Han. Mr. Han asked me to bring you a message. Don't suffer any consequences." Murong Changfeng's tone was full of indifference.

Song Jian was silent. Murong Changfeng was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly. After a while, Song Jian said: "Please tell the princess that Song is not a stubborn person. As long as the princess agrees to send Fan Lihu a gift to the situation."

, Song is willing to serve the princess."

At this time, a silver bell-like laughter came from outside the door, and then a person dressed as a follower walked in. Song Jian used the faint light to see that it was a woman, and Murong Changfeng's respect for this woman made Song Jian a little surprised.

I guessed who it was. This woman was so brave.

Song Jian stood up with difficulty and cupped his hands and said, "Song Jian has met the princess."

The person who came was none other than Zhong Roulan. Zhong Roulan said with a smile: "I understand Master Song's thoughts. I, Zhong Roulan, am not an unreasonable person. I agree to your request. I will send someone to send Fan Lihu away."

Go to Duan Wan."

"Song Jian thanks the princess for your great kindness!" Song Jian felt at ease this time. Firstly, he met the real master. Secondly, he admired Zhong Roulan's behavior. Not everyone can do it by going deep into the tiger's den. Thirdly, he himself

It was finally time for her future and ideals to come forward, and she sincerely bowed down to Zhong Roulan.

"Master Song, please wake up. Since we are all a family, how many days will it take you?" Zhong Roulan has never been destined to be polite.

Song Jian thought for a while and said: "Three days, three days later I promise that Jinzhou will open the city gates to welcome the Qingluan army into the city."

Zhong Roulan nodded and said: "Well, I will give you ten days to reorganize Jinzhou's troops and horses. After ten days, you will set off with me to Xizhou. Don't let Duan Wan think too much."

Song Jian was stunned. This woman was too crazy. She had never taken Jinzhou seriously. Her target was actually Xizhou. But she had surrendered, so she just obeyed. "I understand."

"By the way, you don't want to join the army after you arrive in Huizhou. The counties in Huizhou are in a mess. You can fix them and build me a beautiful Chenyang Princess Palace in Xin'an County. Do you understand?" Zhong Roulan said lazily.

"Does the princess want to move the Jiedushi Palace to Huizhou?" Song Jian asked.

"Otherwise, why do you think I came so far? If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. I clearly remembered that I have stationed a large number of troops in Zhangjun. Go and get to work. I'll find a place to rest here and wait for you.

Good news." After saying that, Zhong Roulan walked away carelessly.

Song Jian was dumbfounded, this woman had no intention of leaving at all.

"This is the princess, you can get used to it from now on." Murong Changfeng's cold voice came from the side.

"Mr. Murong, how do I need to cooperate with you?" Song Jian really didn't want to talk to him anymore, and his whole body was trembling.

"Master Song, you are busy with your business. Luantai has its own affairs. This is the rule. I'll take my leave." After saying this, Murong Changfeng left. He knew that spies were not welcome at any time.

Suddenly Song Jian stopped him and said, "Mr. Murong, are you still thinking about the north?"

Murong Changfeng did not answer, but paused for a moment, and then Song Jian asked: "The princess said that we are all one family, is it possible that Lord Murong still doesn't want to show his true identity?"

Murong Changfeng turned to Song Jian and gently took off his mask. Song Jian was startled by that face. Murong Changfeng smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I don't dare to show my true face, I'm afraid of scaring you."

.”

Before Song Jian could react, Murong Changfeng had already disappeared into the night. Song Jian moved to the bed and was thinking about contacting everyone. Suddenly, Zhong Roulan's explanation about his heavy troops stationed in Zhangjun flashed in his mind.

He thought about it for a long time, and when he raised his head and stretched his muscles, he happened to see the map on the wall, and he understood.
