The person who came was wearing soldier's clothes, obviously a little too small, and the hat only covered half of his head. Long Fei did not call for anyone, but looked at him with a dagger. The man was about twenty-five or six, with big eyes and a high nose.
He has a strong back and a strong waist. He is holding a long needle, one foot long, tightly in his hand. A few yellow hairs under his jaw are swinging back and forth, and the muscles in his whole body are tense, ready to take action at any time.
"Are you also from the Black Ice?" Long Fei looked at the man with increased vigilance: "Can you tell me your surname?"
"There's no need! Just remember that I'm here to kill you!" The man rushed over with a lunge, and the long needle in his hand pierced Long Fei's abdomen: "Watch the move!"
Long Fei turned around to avoid it. He flipped the blood-red dagger in his palm and held it vertically. He raised his arm and made a slight stroke, leaving a long gash on the man's arm. The blood instantly dyed the man's clothes red.
He turned around and swiped the long needle, intending to make a mark on Long Fei's back. Long Fei raised his arm, resisted the man's arm, made fists left and right, punched the man's back, and said
"Boom!" sounded.
The two sides separated, Long Fei looked at the man with a smile: "Forget it, let's stop, you are no match for me!"
The man grinned, looked at the wound on his right arm, and rubbed his back with one hand: "Long Fei is good at close combat, it's true, I learned a lesson today!"
Hearing the sound, more than a dozen soldiers ran over with weapons in hand. Long Fei hurriedly stopped him. He understood that these soldiers were no match for this man. If they went up, they would die, so it would be better not to go up. He said: "Strong man
, there is no need to fight anymore, you will not be able to leave if you continue to fight! I will let you go today and go back to tell those old guys that they should not bully others too much and remember our original agreement!"
The man looked at the soldiers who were gathering more and more. He was injured again. After thinking about it, he gave Long Fei a fist and said, "If you don't kill me, you will regret it! Farewell!" He nodded and got into the darkness.
Fei asked loudly: "What is the name of the strong man?"
“See you someday, it’s never too late to ask!”
The camp was safe and the battle of Fancheng came to an end. Due to Gan Ning's command, none of the 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Fancheng escaped. The guard general Wenpin was captured alive, and the remaining soldiers killed 800, and the rest were surrendered.
The prefect of Fancheng, realizing that the situation was over, opened the city gates and surrendered to Long Fei. He had left the army to pacify the people. The Battle of Fancheng, which lasted for one month, came to an end.
"My General Gan, can you get the money if you can conquer Fancheng? Where is the money? If you don't have the money, don't mention the matter of building a naval army anymore!" Gan Ning told Long Fei at the beginning that he would take Fancheng.
Gan Ning didn't say how he could get the money, and Long Fei didn't ask. In order to defeat Gan Ning as quickly as possible, Long Fei agreed without thinking.
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Master, don't worry! Taking Fancheng is only the first step, making money is the second step! I will introduce someone to my lord first!"
After saying that, he slapped his hands twice. A scholar came in from the door. He was not tall and could not be skinnier. He had no flesh on his face, a pair of big eyes, a mustache, and a goatee under his chin.
Wearing a gray robe, with a sword hanging on his waist, he was dressed politely, but his eyes were gleaming. Ever since he entered the house, his eyes had not been idle for a moment, looking left and right as if there was no one else around.
"Lord! This is a talented man from Jiujiang, his surname is..."
Gan Ning was about to make an introduction when he was interrupted by the man: "Hold on! Everyone says that General Long has the appearance of a tiger and a wolf. May I ask what General Long compares himself to?"
Long Fei smiled: "Tigers and wolves are both beasts, and they are more natural than dragons and phoenixes. My surname is Long, so naturally I am a dragon!"
"The general is bold! Your Majesty Long Nai, the general has a disloyal heart. If Gan Ninger and others help the emperor to do evil, they will be reviled by the world!" The man said as he walked out the door: "I am a gentleman, and I have no right to associate with you.
!”
Gan Ning hurried up to persuade him and tried his best to persuade him to stay, but the man just refused. He had already left the door, but the man suddenly stopped, stared at Long Fei and asked, "General, won't you stay with me?"
"I know your husband is not really leaving, so why would you want to stay?"
"Hahaha..." The man laughed loudly: "The general is the first person in the world who can understand my thoughts, Jiang Qian!" Jiang Qian took a few steps forward, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "My lord is above, accept Jiang Qian.
Pay homage!"
Long Fei hurriedly stood up and helped Jiang Gan up. Jiang Gan was from Jiujiang and was famous for his eloquence. He was the only one in Jiang and Huai that no one dared to confront. Gan Ning met Jiang Gan by chance when he was a minor official in Jiangxia. The two competed.
There were several bottles of wine, and everyone was very drunk. Jiang Qian said that he had never seen his talents and no one appreciated them. Gan Ning went to Haikou, and when he became successful, he would definitely recommend Jiang Qian, and the two high-fived and became an alliance.
In fact, as soon as Long Fei arrived in Wancheng, Jiang Gan arrived and found Gan Ning. The two talked about being drunk. Gan Ning wanted to go to Long Fei immediately to recommend him, but was stopped by Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan said he had no merit.
, refused the recommendation, and must make great contributions before he can be recognized as a saint in front of others. The two secretly discussed for several days and came up with such a plan to attack Fancheng. Jiang Gan said to the dubious Gan Ning: "General, don't worry, as long as the general takes Fancheng, I will
If you make a pledge to your superiors, you can get money and food to build a naval army!"
Gan Ning kept his mouth shut and never revealed it. It was only today that he brought Jiang Gan to see Long Fei. Long Fei smiled and said, "So I was toyed with by you two?"
Gan Ning hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. Jiang Ganze smiled and said: "General, it is not without benefits. If this is successful, a navy will be built, which will be a great help when going south in the future. If not, Fancheng is also in hand. It is not so bad."
What’s wrong with losing money and being artificial?”
"Hahaha... Sir, your eloquence is truly rare in the world. I can't beat you!" Long Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then sir, tell me, what should be the next step?"
Jiang Qiandao: "General, you can send troops to Xiangshui and threaten Xiangyang. With my sharp tongue, I will definitely pay Liu Biao to redeem the land!"
"Get money to redeem the land? This is Fancheng that he abandoned. Will he pay for it?" Zhou Tai was doubtful.
Long Fei said: "Since Sir, there must be a reason for what he said, then let's make Sir a long history first, and if successful, I will give you a reward!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Long Fei captured Fancheng. Instead of withdrawing his troops, he transferred 10,000 troops from Wancheng and hoarded them on the bank of Xiangshui River, constantly creating friction with Cai Mao's navy. The purpose was very clear, which was to find an excuse for his own attack.
Isn't the excuse for attacking Fancheng just the bandits? With the emperor's edict to suppress the rebellion, no prince could say anything. Cai Mao also wanted to fight with Long Fei, but then he remembered Sun Jian's defeat, so he could only endure it and put himself
Shuijuntun and the south bank of Xiangshui River no longer overlap with Long Feijunma.
Liu Biao had a severe headache in the past two days. Whenever he heard the word "Long Fei", his brain hurt. He called many doctors, but to no avail. Suffering from the headache, Liu Biao called everyone to discuss. Some said beating, others said not to beat.
Those who fought believed that Long Fei had gone too far and bullied no one in Jingzhou. Those who said they could not fight believed that Long Fei was sending troops on behalf of the emperor, and this fight was undoubtedly a sign of rebellion. The two sides started a tense argument over this.
Liu Biao turned his head and glared at Kuai Liang. Liu Biao also knew that Chen Dao's assassination failed. He believed that it all stemmed from Long Fei's revenge, but he couldn't let others know about it and could only secretly glare at Kuai Liang.
Cai Mao loudly stopped everyone's discussion, and said to Liu Biao: "My Lord, Long Fei's bravery and cunning are superior to Sun Jian. Back then, Sun Jian almost lost Xiangyang with 20,000 soldiers, but Long Fei's 20,000 soldiers and horses have much power."
It’s hard to say at all, but my subordinates think that it would be best to send a peace negotiation and the two families to stop fighting each other!”
Liu Biao's eyes lit up: "This is a very good plan! This is a very good plan!"
Kuai Yue sneered and said: "Now that Long Fei has the upper hand, making peace will only make him push forward. It would be better to move the subordinate Yamen to Nanjun!"
Everyone knew that the Cai family was from Xiangyang, so Liu Biao had been staying in Xiangyang. And the Kuai family was from Nanjun. This time Kuai Yue used this opportunity to launch an attack with a very clear purpose, which was to suppress Cai family's power in Liu Biao's group. As soon as he said this,
Those who supported Cai and those who supported Kuai attacked each other, began to quarrel, and occasionally even fought. Liu Biao's brain began to hurt again, and he groaned in pain and almost fainted.
Jiang Qian suddenly appeared in Xiangyang as Long Fei's envoy, which surprised all the officials in Xiangyang. Although Jiang Qian was talented in eloquence, he had no other skills. What's the use of such a idiot of Long Fei's sect? Since he belongs to Long Fei
The envoy, Liu Biao did not dare to neglect, summoned civil and military officials to meet Jiang Gan, who was alone in Jianghuai. As soon as Jiang Gan appeared, he caused a roar of laughter. Jiang Gan was thin and small, but the sword in his waist was four feet long. It was clanging on the ground.
Jiang Qian didn't take it seriously and walked to the seat prepared for him and sat down.
"Sir, here you go..."
Just as Liu Biao spoke, Jiang Gan answered first: "Just to see you all again, when I was in Jianghuai, I heard that the Eight Talents of Jingxiang and Xiang were very talented, and they often wanted to visit me. However, I had no choice but to be busy with worldly affairs, so I came here to visit you today. After all,
I'm afraid Xiangyang will change hands in a few days, and we don't know whether you are alive or dead!"
"Bold Jiang Gan, talking nonsense, come here, drag him out! Kill him!"
Jiang Gan smiled slightly: "My master has no excuse for being sad. If I die, let alone Xiangyang, the entire Jingzhou will not have peace!"
Everyone was stunned on the spot. Liu Biao waved his hand and told the soldiers to go down. He reluctantly said with a smile: "Sir, let's not beat around the bush. General Long and I are close neighbors. I would like to form an alliance with General Long forever and jointly assist Your Majesty. How about we do that?"
What if both sides stop fighting? Then Fancheng will be given to His Majesty as his palace!"
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" Jiang Gan actually became modest: "Occupying Fancheng was a helpless move. It was only because thieves were rampant that my lord followed your majesty's order to hunt down the bandits. The guard of Fancheng hid the bandits secretly, so my lord taught him a lesson.
Now that the bandit has been caught, this Fancheng is originally the land of Jingzhou, so it is better to return it to Liuzhou Mu!"
"Oh? Are you serious?" Liu Biao was overjoyed.
Jiang Gan nodded slightly: "Having said that, my lord is unable to go out for this expedition, but it is hard to disobey the king's order. It has been more than a month since the army arrived in Fancheng. The money and food have been exhausted, and there is no way to return to Wancheng. I wonder if Liuzhou Mu can borrow some temporarily? Wait for my family.
When my lord gets through this difficult time, I will repay you twice as much!"
Only then did everyone understand why Long Fei attacked Fancheng.
