Chapter 160: Subduing the Tigers and Getting Crazy Again!
"what to do?"
Liu Bian was anxious and asked tentatively: "Sun Jian attacked my father-in-law. This crime is not light. After catching this kid, in order to win over the Tang family, do I have to kill him?"
"No need."
The military strategist alliance immediately replied: "Master Bian, don't think too much. The loyalty of the Tang family is not won by you, but determined by the relationship between you. As for Sun Jian himself, he actually does not know the other party's Tang family. This can be a crime."
"remember!"
The Alliance of Military Advisors emphasized: "Master Bian, you want to completely surrender Sun Jian, rather than a cooperative relationship where the two parties maintain independent identities like Yuan Shu did in history."
"Now that Sun Jian has been beaten to the end, it is the perfect moment to surrender him. He will be like Zhang Liao at the beginning, including men and horses, all belonging to Bian Ye. This is a subordinate relationship."
"To put it bluntly, the former governor of Changsha, Sun Jian, no longer exists. From now on, we can only call him Sun Jian, the general under King Hongnong."
"As for whether Sun Jian will become General Polu and Governor of Changsha in the future, it depends on how you reward him, Mr. Bian. These are two completely different forms of existence."
That’s right!
Indeed it is.
If Sun Jian came to challenge Dong, he was a prince isolated from King Hongnong.
But now, he has committed a serious crime and is beaten to the end by himself. There are only two ways:
One: death;
Second: surrender to Liu Bian;
Of course, Liu Bian himself also understood that when it came to Sun Jian's outcome, the attitude of the Tang family was also crucial.
Liu Bian took a deep breath and turned to look at his father-in-law Tang Hao: "My father-in-law, your losses in this battle don't seem to be much. Could it be that Sun Jian didn't kill him?"
Tang Mao brushed his beard under his chin, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "That's not true. The key reason why the losses in this battle were small is that Tang has capable people under his command to help."
"oh?"
Although Tang Mao was a bit unethical, the mention of "capable people" immediately aroused Liu Bian's curiosity.
Liu Bian took advantage of the situation and asked: "I wonder who helped my father-in-law to be so capable in facing the tigers from the east of the Yangtze River?"
Tang Mao waved excitedly: "Xiang'er, bring your friend up and introduce him to His Highness. We can come here safely thanks to this person's help!"
"promise."
Tang Xiang bowed his head.
Immediately.
He bowed and left the hall.
Not long after, a young man was brought back.
This person wears a dark-colored turban and a light blue flowing double-breasted robe. He behaves decently and elegantly, and has a rather elegant temperament. However, his steps are solid, but he has the heavy feeling of a marching man.
"Yu Fan from Kuaiji, pays homage to His Highness King Hongnong."
Yu Fan stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Yu Fan?
Liu Bian was slightly startled.
The person in front of me is actually Yu Fan?
At that time, not only Liu Bian, but also netizens in the live broadcast room were amazed:
"Damn! This kid is actually Yu Fan?"
"The Tang family supports you from thousands of miles away, and you also have a talented person?"
"I remember this guy was a madman, right?"
"That's right! Jiangdong's madman is not inferior to Mi Heng's madman."
"A madman must behave like a madman."
"..."
At this moment, even the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance couldn't help but be stunned: "Master Bian, you have made a lot of money this time. Yu Fan is both civil and military, and he is a rare talent."
"The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·Yu Fan Biography" quotes "Wu Lu" and records that when Sun Ce was attacking Shanyue, he ordered his left and right troops to chase away the thieves, but he could only ride on horseback to meet Yu Fan in the mountains.
Encountering a crisis on the way, Sun Ce led the horse and held the bow and arrow behind. Yu Fan, who was good at using a spear, protected the situation in front. When the ground was level, Yu Fan persuaded Sun Ce to ride on the horse.
Sun Ce was embarrassed to ride alone and asked Yu Fan to walk, so he asked: "What can you do if you don't have a horse?" Yu Fan replied: "Fan can walk, and he can walk three hundred miles a day. The Ming Dynasty tried to leap the horse, and Fan could follow him at a leisurely pace."
"His legs can run as fast as a war horse, and he can go into battle with a spear to kill enemies. He can also recite poems and compose rhymes, and annotate books such as "Laozi", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Guoyu". In addition to his overly upright character,
There seems to be no shortcomings.”
Previously, most of Liu Bian's understanding of Yu Fan came from novels, and the most direct impression was that Zhuge Liang was fighting with the Confucian scholars, and Yu Fan was obviously at a disadvantage and was rendered speechless.
I thought that this person was just a mediocre person, but I never thought that in the description of the Alliance of Military Advisors, he was actually a talented person with both civil and military skills. As expected, the things in the novel must be believed, but not completely.
"Your Highness~~"
"Your Highness~~"
Maybe Liu Bian was stunned for a little longer, which aroused the curiosity of Tang Hao and Tang Xiang, so he exhaled and pulled himself back from the confusion.
"Oh~~"
Liu Bian quickly waved his hand and said softly: "Please get up quickly."
Yu Fan straightened up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Bian focused his eyes on this person.
However, I saw that this man had bright eyes, a high nose, and regular facial features, especially between his brows, as if he had a touch of awe-inspiring righteousness. At just one glance, he matched the "upright and forthright" evaluation of the Military Advisor Alliance.
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded and said, "You are indeed very handsome! I heard from my father-in-law that I arrived at Wancheng safely because of your help along the way. I would like to express my thanks in advance."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
I thought that Yu Fan would be more modest, but I never thought that the other party would actually answer like this: "I have even made friends with Brother Tang. The county guard led troops north to assist His Highness. I am doing justice for God. How can I not help you?"
Liu Bian laughed and could only nod and praise: "Have a righteous heart and stick to the right path! You are very good."
Yu Fan bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Report~~~"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
But seeing the soldiers hurried forward, their faces were overjoyed, and they cupped their hands and clasped their fists: "Your Highness, Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, has been escorted back. He is outside the palace at the moment. Do you want to summon him?"
Phew~~~
Although it was too late to give a hint, we were already here, so how could we delay it.
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Come on."
The soldier was ordered: "Promise."
Immediately.
Bowed and left the hall.
Not long after, Zhang Liao and others escorted Sun Jian to the palace.
Sun Jian was tied up all over, but he still bowed and saluted: "Sun Jian, the sinner, joins His Highness King Hongnong."
Liu Bian was surprised: "You have already confessed?"
Sun Jian did not dare to make a mistake: "The guilty minister originally thought that the person coming from Suizao Corridor was the soldiers of the Huang family of Jiangxia. This person had a rift with the guilty minister, and when the army was short of food, he thought of robbing some food and grass to use as food.
Military resources.”
"But I never thought..."
Sun Jian was extremely regretful and sighed: "The visitor was not the Huang family of Jiangxia, but the governor of Tang County in Kuaiji. I wanted to stop fighting and make peace, but I never thought that General Zhang would lead his cavalry into the rear army, and he had no choice but to flee all the way."
"Although the guilty minister did not mean any offense, he had disturbed the governor of Tang County and offended His Highness Long Wei. When he was defeated and fled, he wanted to escape back to Jiangdong, but he never thought that he would be defeated at the hands of His Highness's elite soldiers. He is really guilty and deserves death.
"
Although the Yuanyang Army is a new army, each of them is a carefully selected soldier. They have actual combat experience, and they have been carefully trained by Zhang Liao, and they even often conduct actual combat drills with internal troops.
Therefore, although the Yuanyang Army was only established for a month, its combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds, which is not comparable to that of ordinary armies. Although Sun Jian was a fierce tiger, he was defeated along the way and his morale dropped sharply. He was defeated and defeated.
"The guilty minister does not seek forgiveness from Your Highness."
"but......"
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Sun Jian took a deep breath and said sonorously: "The generals Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others under the guilty minister are all loyal and good subjects. Please don't sit down together and let them live."
Damn it!
Liu Bian could only laugh.
I haven't convicted Sun Jian yet, but this guy has sentenced himself to death?
Anger welling up, Liu Bian waved his big hand and said loudly: "In this case, you just kill yourself. Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others can forget about it and never sit down again."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Sun Jian let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
When he was about to bow and exit the hall.
suddenly.
A figure stepped out, bowed and raised his hands: "Your Highness, please wait!"
Everyone was looking at Yu Fan: "What's the matter with you?"
Yu Fan stepped forward quickly, passed Sun Jian, bowed his head in salute, and said sonorously: "I'll tell you the truth, Commander Sun has a favor for Yu Fan's survival. When Xuchang, a native of Kuaiji, rebelled, it was Commander Sun who entered the city and killed the thieves. I, my father and my son, are all saved."
life."
"How dare you!"
Immediately, Yu Fan solemnly said: "I sincerely ask for your permission, your highness, to exchange my life for that of Commander Sun. Quan should be repaying the great favor of my life back then."
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Liu Bian himself couldn't believe it.
Yu Fan actually wanted to risk his own life in exchange for Sun Jian's.
At that time, everyone knew about the rebellion of Xuchang, a native of Kuaiji, but they didn't know that there was such a connection.
Yu Fan is really a fool. For the sake of morality in his heart, he dared to trade his life for his life.
Oh my god!
Liu Bian couldn't believe his ears.
Were the ancients really so righteous?
I'm afraid even Sun Jian himself may not know that he has helped you survive, right?
At this moment, Tang Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Zhong Xiang, what are you doing? Get up quickly, don't be like this."
But Yu Fan insisted on this and said righteously: "Brother Tang, I helped you because I was fighting against Dong Dayi. Now I am willing to pay for my life with my life. It is a small personal righteousness. Why are you stopping me?"
"I......"
This statement made Tang Xiang unable to get up and down on "righteousness": "I...I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Yu Fan let out a long sigh and did not blame Tang Xiang. Instead, he turned to look at Sun Jian: "General, on behalf of my father, I have thanked you for being alive. No matter what the outcome is today, I have already repaid you."
Immediately.
Yu Fan turned around to face Liu Bian and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Such a great gift, it seems that I have made up my mind.
This scene immediately shocked netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Damn! This Yu Fan is very good at handling things. If something happens, he will come to you."
“In modern society, it’s hard to find such loyal people, right?”
"I finally understand why Yu Fan dared to protect Sun Ce with a spear according to historical records. This was to repay his kindness."
"That's right! Although he served as a meritorious officer under Wang Lang at the beginning, when Sun Ce attacked, he tried to protect Wang Lang, which was loyalty. After Wang Lang's defeat, he joined Sun's camp without hesitation to repay his kindness!"
"I love you, I love you. Such a simple guy brought me to tears."
"I love people like this very much too."
"Please don't kill me, Mr. Bian!"
"Don't kill +1"
"+2"
"+10086"
"...."
At this moment, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance also sounded: "Master Bian, you don't have to be surprised. This is actually a good thing for subduing Sun Jian. We can force the Tang family."
"After all, Yu Fan is kind to the Tang family. As long as the Tang family pleads for Yu Fan, it is tantamount to interceding for Sun Jian. Master Bian will just step down and accept Sun Jian as a general."
Hiss~~~
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly brightened and he suddenly became enlightened.
Experts are indeed experts.
This little trick is so awesome.
Without hesitation.
Liu Bian immediately said: "Sun Jian intercepted and killed the Tang family's team and committed a capital crime, but your Excellency forced him to do so with righteousness. Although he is reluctant to let go, the law has no mercy, so it can only be like this."
"Come here!" Liu Bianlang said loudly.
"Here." Zhang Liao cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"Drag Yu Fan out..."
"Your Highness!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Xiang's voice.
But Tang Xiang hurried forward, bowed deeply, and said sonorously: "If there were no Zhongxiang to protect us along the way, we might not be able to reach Nanyang at all. You must not kill him!"
Liu Bian pretended to be in trouble and said bitterly: "Brother-in-law, Sun Jian intercepted and killed the Tang family, which is an unforgivable crime!"
Tang Xiang hurriedly said: "Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. If he really wants to kill him, how can we stop him? He only came here for food. He didn't know he was from the Tang family. I hope your highness will show mercy."
"this......"
Liu Bian looked slightly hesitant, and his eyes turned to Tang Mao.
Before, Tang Mao was mainly focused on the recommendation, but now he came to his senses and understood what Liu Bian meant.
Tang Mao stood up and came to the palace, clasping his hands and clasping his fists: "Your Highness, Xiang'er is right. After I reported my home, Commander Sun stopped the attack. Unfortunately, General Zhang arrived with his troops and was unable to stop it."
"oh?"
Liu Bian took advantage of the situation and said: "In this case, your father-in-law doesn't blame Commander Sun?"
Tang Mao nodded: "Those who don't know are not guilty. I hope Your Highness will be merciful and allow Commander Sun to return to Your Highness, so that he can make meritorious deeds."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded with interest and turned to look at Sun Jian: "Sun Wentai, I know that you are a veteran general on the battlefield. You have fought fiercely for decades and have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats for the Han Dynasty. You are indeed a loyal and righteous man."
"Back then, when you accompanied Zhang Wen to conquer the Liangzhou rebels, you suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo. Although Zhang Wen did not agree at that time, today, are you willing to surrender to the lonely king and fight Dong Zhuo again?"
Survival from desperate situation!
Sun Jian was already content, so how could he dare to dream of leading an army alone?
He hurriedly bowed and saluted, with tears streaming down his face: "General Sun Jian, I am willing to lead a horse into a stirrup for Your Highness, die in battle, and return my body wrapped in horse leather!"
The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly: "Haha! I can only get General Sun's help, so why worry about not being able to eliminate Dong Zhuo's men? Wen Yuan, please untie Wen Tai as soon as possible!"
Zhang Liao raised his hand and said, "No."
"Wen Ruo!"
Liu Bian turned to look at Xun Yu.
"exist."
Xun Yu bowed his head.
"Pass the order."
Liu Bian was overjoyed and immediately said: "Let Wang Yi prepare a banquet for the Tang family. General Sun will take the wind and wash away the dust. At the same time, he will send someone to send some food and grass to the soldiers and horses outside the city, and we will have a good time together."
Xun Yu nodded: "No."
Sun Jian burst into tears with gratitude and bowed again: "I will thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Bian smiled lightly and said softly: "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Zhongxiang. If he hadn't been willing to give his life for his life, you know what I would do."
"Um."
Sun Jian nodded solemnly and turned to look at Yu Fan: "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness in life."
Yu Fan returned the gift: "How dare you? How dare~~"
