Sun Huan was shocked: "Has he committed suicide?"
He led dozens of personal guards to break through the battle first. He wanted to capture Shi Xie and coerce the Jiaozhou army, but he really didn't expect Shi Xie to commit suicide. I heard that this old man has been in Jiaozhou for decades and has relied on his own methods and a soft and humble attitude. He never thought that he would be so tough when there was a big change?
Several guards around him held bright swords and asked Fan Xun sternly: "Where did you die?"
Sun Huan coughed lightly, and the guards immediately stepped back.
"Please take me to see." Sun Huan took a step forward and said to Fan Xun: "At this time, the war is in chaos, Shi Weiyan's body must also be protected, otherwise..."
Fan Xun nodded: "This general, please come with me."
After the group moved to the tent, they saw Shi Xie's body sitting calmly. Next to him, several entourages were dying together.
After all, Shi Xie was appointed as the Central Army General of Suinan by the imperial court. He was the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, the prefect of Jiaozhi, and was even more famous Confucian scholar. He had passed away and was suddenly attacked and died by Jiangdong people. He would not have to hang his head to the public.
Although Sun Huan was a martial artist, he had studied quite a bit, and he had a basic face. He immediately looked solemn and bowed solemnly, and asked his subordinates to arrange to wipe the blood and collect the body.
At this time, the Jiaozhou army was ashamed of landslides, and along the way they carried the Jiaozhou soldiers in the rear camp, forming a huge torrent and fleeing. Occasionally, some brave soldiers tried to resist, but were killed by Jiangdong Wushoujian. The front line crossed the central army and quickly pushed to the east. That could not even be called the front line, but the Jiangdong people were unilaterally chasing and slaughtering.
So the surroundings of the Central Army's tent became calm.
The subordinates were busy, and Sun Huan and Fan Xun stood aside and watched.
In a moment, the steps also arrived.
Sun Huan introduced to him that when Shi Xie raised his army, he detained the Hujingman Captain who was investigating the trade routes in Jiaozhi to engage in Fan Xun. The Fan Xun witnessed Shi Xie's suicide. Bu Zhi raised his head and lowered his head, looking at Fan Xun up and down for a while.
"Fan, I have heard of you. You are from Xia Pi, Xuzhou, and later joined General Fenwei?"
"I am indeed from Xia Pi, Xuzhou, and my family has been selling salt for generations. Because the war between Qingxu and Xuzhou is endless and the tribesmen are scattered, I intend to take refuge in Jiaozhou, but was blocked by Shanyue. Later, I went to Jingzhou. Because of some exchanges and trade experiences, I was promoted by my general."
Hearing Bu Zhi's inquiry, Fan Xun quickly bowed and answered.
He was different from other managers under Lei Yuan. He was not an old man from Mount Shi, but a backward who defected to Lexiang. However, his family has been vendors for generations and is familiar with the means of long-distance transportation and trafficking, so Lei Yuan entrusted an important task.
He was ordered by Lei Yuan to travel to and from all over Jiaozhou as a representative of the Lei family in Lujiang. He was in the open task to purchase supplies, but in fact he also contacted the powerful people in Jiaozhou to expand his connections. However, during this civil strife in Jiaozhou, several forces fought against each other, and Fan Xun was caught off guard and became a prisoner of Shi Xie.
I thought I was afraid that Shi Xie would be used to be beheaded and sacrifice the flag at some point, but unexpectedly the situation suddenly changed and Shi Xie was defeated inexplicably. Who is the enemy? Who is the friend? Fan Xun couldn't figure it out for a moment, and what Shi Xie said to Fan Xun specifically before his death made him even more frightened and he was shocked.
"Haha, Mr. Bo Yu doesn't need to be polite. You are a subordinate of General Fenwei, and you are an ally of Jiangdong. We are a family, so you don't have to be so restricted." Bu Zhi's tone was very intimate: "General Lei has won a great reputation from Jianghuai to Jingzhou in just a few years. I, Bu Zhi, admired him very much. General Lei has also come to Jiaozhou this time, and maybe he will have the opportunity to get close in the past few days."
Fan Xun said: "Mr. Zishan's reputation is something I think my general has long admired."
After all, he was not Zhou Hu, and Huang Qing, a close confidant who had a deep qualification and was in charge of government affairs. The identity of the Captain Hujing Man was just a name, but in fact he had been away from the military and political affairs of the Lujiang Lei family for a long time and was devoted to seeking wealth and benefits for the clan. He was suddenly involved in the fight, and he was very frightened, even more afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would cause trouble.
Bu Zhi was very relaxed. He exchanged a few greetings with Fan Xun in the pool of blood. When the atmosphere became more harmonious, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Bo Yu doesn't seem to be an ordinary prisoner?"
“What…what?”
"Shiweiyan was about to die, but he asked her to stay by his side. But he didn't know what special entrustment was?"
Fan Xun waved his hands repeatedly: "No entrust! No entrust!"
Bu Zhi only looked at him and didn't say anything. Fan Xun kept shaking his head and swearing.
Bu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the blood that was gradually drying on the ground. When he looked up again for a while, there was no smile on his face: "Tonight I took the initiative and attacked Shi Xie's troops and killed a lot. But this was also forced by the situation. Only because of the chaos, heroes rose up and only by self-improvement could they not become fish on others' plates. This move came to the eyes of the world, and I was afraid there would be disdain. However, Wu Hou would definitely understand my difficulties and not blame him for hypocrisy."
Fan Xun was stunned.
Sun Huan bowed and said, "It's true."
"Then there is no need to keep him. What is the count of a few merchants in the chaos?" Bu Zhi walked away.
"No!" Fan Xun screamed and knelt down, took out a sealed silk book from his arms, held it high with both hands, and his movements were extremely smooth: "Shi Weiyan gave me this thing without saying anything!"
Bu Zhi turned around, took the silk book, checked the seal without any mistakes, pulled it apart, and browsed it carefully.
The silk book is composed of more than a dozen letters, and in the tone of Shi Xie, he sent the Shi clans and the powerful eunuchs from Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Hepu, Nanhai and other places respectively. The content of the letter says that he had been protecting the country and the people for decades, but he was bewitched by Jiangdong and attacked neighboring counties and committed heinous crimes. He was very regretful. Now he has been forgiven by the benefactor, so he should change his course and show his righteousness and hope that you and others will help each other.
After reading it one by one, Bu Zhi sighed, and a little helplessness and admiration appeared on his face.
Although Shi Xie was defeated, it did not affect his ability to be a hero in the troubled times. While Shi Xie and Jiangdong jointly launched an army, he had already arrested important figures from Jingzhou people in Jiaozhou as a channel for communication, and even the letters had been written in advance to show sincerity.
Those who combine profits will force poverty and disasters to abandon each other. The alliance between Jiangdong and Shixie does not have any sincerity. Jiangdong can win, but because he is faster than Shixie and his determination is more firm than Shixie.
It was very simple to fight back before Shi Xie died, which was to give all these letters to Lei Xuzhi's subordinates. After all, Shi's work in Jiaozhou for seven years and had a profound foundation. Lei Yuan relied on the elite troops of Jingzhou and then used these letters as a call to create a huge storm in Jiaozhou. If Lei Yuan wants to use these letters, he must forgive Shi's crimes and protect the Shi's clan.
Fortunately, these letters have come to my hands.
Bu Zhi stretched the letters toward Songming torches beside him and burned them.
"Fan, you are a smart person, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's go with your entourage to rest." He said politely: "If someone comes to Jingzhou these days, I will let you go."
"Yes, yes." Fan Xun watched the letter burned to ashes and fell down piece by piece. His eyes were rolling, a little lost and a little thankful.
In fact, according to Shi Xie's hope, Fan Xun should hide in the corner of the central army and wait for the Jiangdong people to leave to flee. But Fan Xun was just a merchant after all, and he did not have the courage to make a living in the chaos. So when the Jiangdong people entered the tent, he was completely panicked and subconsciously came out to seek a life.
