Zhang Fan discussed for a long time and decided to accept Li Mingkui's surrender. He could probably feel the flavor of some of the conspiracies.
Even the goal may be very clear, because they asked Zhang Fan to sign the handover of military power by name, as Yang Yu said, this is an open plot.
They have already planned to give up Yangzhou just to kill Zhang Fan. When the target is only one person and everything becomes pure, things are very simple.
But Zhang Fan had to go, as the soldiers discussed, those who were originally shaken and could not stand on the opposite side.
Besides, it is very likely that it will be taken to Yangzhou without any bloodshed. This temptation is too great.
Moreover, he believed that Emperor Xuande's death was approaching, and even if he had an accident, the people behind him could quickly defeat the Northern Dynasties, a masterless court.
As for their request to keep 20,000 defenders in Yangzhou, it seems to be obvious to him that I will use these 20,000 defenders to ambush you Zhang Fan.
However, for Zhang Fan, he thought it was worth taking risks. How could the 200,000 troops he led was killed by these 20,000 people?
By then, no one would know that he would be hiding in the corner of the army.
After he shared his thoughts with the soldiers, everyone felt it was reasonable, but they still didn't want Zhang Fan to take risks.
I wanted someone to replace Zhang Fan to do all this, but Zhang Fan refused. This kind of low-level mistake should not be made by someone who uses such a vicious plan.
So in the past two days, Zhao Hu, four guards, a concubine, and a fairy in Peach Blossom, were able to practice swords to deal with the upcoming dangers.
Zhang Fan didn't want the Taohua Fairy to come with him, but she insisted on being a guard to protect Zhang Fan. She knocked down the other four girls in ten moves to tell Zhang Fan how strong she is. No wonder, the Taohua Fairy always performs the most dangerous tasks behind enemy lines, and it goes without saying that it's self-evident that Zhang Fan couldn't resist her and had to let her follow her.
These five little girls, almost no soldier can beat them in one fight. Their swordsmanship is indeed superb, and one person is enough to deal with three or four soldiers.
These are also the main reasons why Zhang Fan is very confident in taking this risk.
After only two days of stationing on the river, the two sides agreed, and the army marched into the city in a mighty manner.
The spies made a report in front of them, carefully inspecting every restaurant, shop, etc. that the army was about to pass by.
He was moving forward without any danger. Of course, Zhang Fan did not let the soldiers relax. After all, he was not familiar with the terrain in the city. Who knew if a bunch of people would emerge from somewhere.
The journey was very smooth, and there was no resistance to the handover of military power. The number of people was roughly counted at about 50,000, and they were all under control. There should be no large-scale ambush.
Zhang Fan couldn't help but wonder even more. Did he really surrender like this?
It is better to take action when there are fewer people, or take action when you go to bed after taking over, or wait for you to feel that you are in a low spirit.
As the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to be a thief.
It was impossible for him to spend all the time with them. He hoped that the assassination would come faster at this time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but increase his vigilance towards the surrounding environment. He originally thought that the storm could be solved on the road, but now it seems that he should take more people to the city lord's mansion. By the way, he also reminded the surrounding five women and Zhao Hu's guards to be careful.
Zhang Fan had almost understood all the enemy's thoughts, but he didn't expect that the enemy's heart was much bigger than he thought. Not only Yangzhou City and even the 50,000 soldiers were all gifts, but just a bait. The final killer move was really hidden in the city lord's mansion.
The gate of the city lord's mansion is not big, and it can only accommodate ten people at a time to enter at the same time. Moreover, the structure of the mansion is quite complex and curved.
Of course, Zhang Fan could not wait until thousands of people fell in to protect him first and then investigate the truth before entering. That would be ridiculous. You can't do this in every move in Yangzhou City in the future.
Besides, I always have to show my head to sign a surrender letter, so I have to be careful of the sudden hidden arrows. I can't be careful. I can only try to be cautious and leave my destiny as much as possible.
Zhang Fan only brought two hundred people into the city lord's mansion. He walked straight inside and saw three people standing in front of a case outside with a pile of documents on it.
I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and the lower-ranking official Li Mingkui.The man in the middle said, a young man next to him introduced himself to Yang Yu.The other person is just a servant who grinds the ink.
Yang Yu?Zhang Fan couldn't help but look at him more.
yes.Yang Yu didn't know why he had to watch more, but it didn't matter.
Li Mingkui picked up the seal next to him and covered it with heavy pressure on the book of surrender. Zhang Fan held it up and read it in detail. The book of surrender was very long and said useless words for the sake of people's livelihood.
The guards around looked around with caution. Zhang Fan bent down to sign. He saw Li Mingkui smashing the heavy seal on the ground. Suddenly, many agile soldiers flipped over the walls on both sides. These were all the elite soldiers carefully selected by Yang Yu and Li Mingkui.
Protect Your Highness!Suddenly, the guards drew their swords one by one, and Yang Yu and Li Mingkui quickly retreated to the hall and took the sword to prepare for a bloody battle.
More and more soldiers jumped down on both sides. Seeing that there were four or five hundred people gradually approaching, Zhao Hu hurriedly took Zhang Fan to choose a side to prepare for breaking through, while Zhang Fan's five guards protected Zhang Fan and retreated. Zhang Fan had no choice but to take out his sword to fight, but his combat power was very impressive and he was almost unable to cut off people. He was pulled and fled by the Taohua Fairy.
Almost all the soldiers rushed towards Zhang Fan in no brains, and the guards around them were even more desperate to protect Zhang Fan. Several times the sword was about to stab Zhang Fan, but they were intercepted by others.
The Peach Blossom Fairy pulled Zhang Fan's left hand and swayed left and right to catch the swords from all directions, but every time she blocked, she just repelled and did not pursue the victory, because the next knife or sword came soon.
The other four girls cooperated with the Peach Blossom Fairy to get back the flaws and used a fatal blow. They trained together for a long time and started as soon as they arrived at the prince's mansion.
These five people protected Zhang Fan like iron buckets, and even if there were too many swords, they would catch them.
It took a full ten minutes to get from the inside to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
At this time, a few guards guarding outside had already found that something was wrong and called the army.
The strength of these five guards was not as good as Yang Yu and Li Mingkui expected. It was an extremely cautious move for Zhang Fan to bring 200 people in. In the eyes of the two, it was a sure situation, but the cooperation of the five guards was like one person protecting Zhang Fan with his life.
However, even so, Zhang Fan was seriously injured. After all, he was a literary scholar. Anyone with five people and half of his strength should be unscathed when he was protected by death.
The farce ended quickly because of the five women.
Yang Yu was captured alive when he resisted for a long time, while Li Mingkui died in the chaos.
Zhang Fan was carried into the military camp for treatment by military doctors. The five Shushu were all people who traveled around the world and suffered much more injuries than Zhang Fan, so she was not as weak as him, because they were all women and did not let the military doctors treat each other but asked for a lot of medicine to treat each other.
After this battle, both their tacit understanding and feelings have deepened greatly. They seem to have found emotional resonance, and they have applied medicine to each other and chatted and joked from time to time.
The atmosphere is so disharmonious and erotic. The most lively one is Chunmei. Although she has no experience, she talks dirty words and makes her face turn red with a taciturn Ji Chou and her simple Xin Wei.
Qiuye and Taohua Fairy are both old fried dough sticks, and naturally they don’t like her.
These five beauties are also sharing their stories with everyone during the days of recuperation. Among them, the experience of Peach Blossom Fairy is the most interesting. She tells in detail how Zhang Fan grew from a literary scholar to a politician, general, and prince step by step.
When Zhang Fan was frightened by the Peach Blossom Fairy at first, he didn't dare to breathe, and even wrote poems to seek honor, but it was wrong to beg for mercy. Everyone laughed.
As for Qiuye when he talked about how he was forced by Zhang Fan, everyone said shamelessly, but what was even more shameless was that he had an affair with a married woman and asked Chunmei to stand guard. The five people were as one and one.
When Zhang Fan learned that Wushu was not in danger of life, he sent someone to call Xiao Qing back. After all, it is much more convenient for women.
Xiao Qing arrived in just one day and one night. She heard that Zhang Fan was injured, so she set out overnight and came with tools. When Xiao Qing saw Zhang Fan lying on the bed, tears were flowing down her feet. Even Zhang Fan asked her to visit Wushu. Zhang Fan had no choice but to not move. After all, she couldn't move. She was also concerned that she couldn't scold her. It was not until she confirmed that Zhang Fan had no fatal injuries or hidden injuries on her body that she went to visit Wushu.
Zhang Fan finally found that the five Shu didn't have much demand for Xiao Qing. With each other's help, they could get out of bed in just ten days.
Zhang Fan spent a whole month, and Xiao Qing served him day and night during this month, and forgetting to eat and sleep was just the norm.
Zhang Fan felt so distressed that he advised her to have a good rest several times. She never replied that Your Highness had saved her life.
That is to say, Your Highness avenges my father for killing me, and he will rebuild his kindness.
Although Zhang Fan rested in Yangzhou for a month, his army did not rest and just made a little rectification, so Zhang Fan handed over the army to Zhu Guangyang.
Zhu Guangyang performed well in the battle of Nanjing again, and he became famous in the court with fewer victory and more. Moreover, he was calm and steady and would not make any forks.
He led his army northward, and some defenders surrendered because it is said that even Yang Yu, who plotted to assassinate the crown prince, was locked up in Nanjing and not executed. Those who surrendered took this as an example and even wanted to use the merits of offering the city to achieve a single official position, but it was obviously impossible.
It was impossible for Zhang Fan to agree to encourage unhealthy trends, but fortunately, these people saved the lives of the whole family through Xiancheng.
The rest of the scattered ones also resisted a little, but the disparity in the army could not be defended for long. Although the Xuande Dynasty seemed vulnerable to retreat step by step for a while, Zhang Fan and the generals knew that this was just an appearance. Xuande's main force must be used to defend places with greater strategic significance.
Even the goal may be very clear, because they asked Zhang Fan to sign the handover of military power by name, as Yang Yu said, this is an open plot.
They have already planned to give up Yangzhou just to kill Zhang Fan. When the target is only one person and everything becomes pure, things are very simple.
