Chapter 141 Chapter 141: Fan Zeng goes to Muling Pass
After making the decision to recruit Zhang Han, Fusu sent his guards to invite Fan Zeng. An hour later, the guards led Fan Zeng into Shanglin Garden. At this moment, Fusu was waiting for Fan Zeng's arrival.
After seeing the young master Fusu, Fan Zeng bowed and paid his respects to Fusu.
After Fusu returned the gift, he invited Fan Zeng to sit down on the mat below, and then began to talk to Fan Zeng about the Muling Pass.
"I wonder if sir, does he know about the war in Donghai County?"
Originally, there were Donghai County, Jiujiang County and other counties under Hu Hai's rule. After Hu Hai's death, almost all of these counties that were originally under Hu Hai's rule were annexed by Jiangdong. However, because the Jiangdong front was too long, there were not many counties nearby.
Millions of hungry people had to be appeased, so Jiangdong finally only gained a foothold in Jiujiang County and three other places close to Jiangdong. As for the other counties, due to the infestation of bandits and thieves, Jiangdong was unable to arrest them. In addition, Zhang Han's 50,000
The troops resisted vigorously, but with the exception of Jiujiang, Sishui, and Xuejun, they were all taken back by Zhang Han or the bandits supported by Zhang Han. At this time, Zhang Han was relying on the dangerous Muling Pass in Donghai County to hold on, and successfully captured Jiangdong Xiang.
The family was blocked outside Muling Pass.
Fusu asked Fan Zeng about the war between Zhang Han of Donghai County and the Xiang family of Jiangdong. In fact, he had two purposes:
The first is to find out how much Fan Zeng pays attention to Zhang Han and the Xiang family in Jiangdong. If Fan Zeng pays attention to these things, then it will be a matter of course for Fan Zeng to recruit and surrender Zhang Han. If Fan Zeng does not pay attention to the affairs between Zhang Han and the Xiang family,
Fusu would give up the plan of sending Fan Zeng to recruit Zhang Han. After all, sending someone who is unclear about the current situation in Donghai County would be counterproductive.
The second is that the current situation of the war in Donghai County is still unclear. Although Fusu has been paying attention to the war in Donghai County, he is not yet ready to intervene in the dispute between Zhang Han and the Xiang family. For Fusu, the best thing at the moment is
The result is that Zhang Han and the Xiang family will continue to fight, and it is best to fight with all their strength. When the two parties are exhausted, he will send the Huben army into Hu Hai's original territory and take back all the counties under Hu Hai's rule in one fell swoop.
and drove the Xiang family back to Jiangdong. At this time, Fusu asked Fan Zeng, hoping that Fan Zeng would give him an idea that could not only recruit Zhang Han, but also prevent Qin from intervening in the war in Donghai County.
In fact, when Fusu asked him about the war in Donghai County, Fan Zeng had already judged Fusu's intention from Fusu's question.
"My lord, the old minister has always heard about the fight between Zhang Han and the Xiang family. If my guess is correct, the young master has invited the old minister here this time. I must have already had some concerns about Donghai County in his heart, right?"
Fusu looked at Fan Zeng helplessly, "Hahaha... you old cunning guy, you don't answer my questions and you ask me back again."
"Forget it, since you don't want to answer, let Fusu answer your question first! At present, Zhang Han leads his army to refuse to defend Muling Pass. Although he can hold off Xiang Yu for a few days for the time being, I'm afraid that as time goes by, Muling will
Guan was conquered by Xiang Yu, and Zhang Han was defeated and killed or attributed to Xiang Yu. With my husband's intelligence, I must have thought of the calamity of Zhang Han's defeat at the hands of our great Qin Dynasty. Fusu didn't hide it from his husband anymore. He recruited him here this time.
I went to Linyuan only for one thing: I want to send my husband to recruit Zhang Han to surrender, but I can't drag Da Qin into the war in Donghai County. Fusu also knows how difficult this matter is. I wonder if you, sir, have any good ideas?"
Hearing that Fusu told the truth about his plan, Fan Zeng did not rush to answer, but seriously thought about Fusu's plan. It was indeed difficult to recruit Zhang Han and keep Da Qin out of the matter. However, Fan Zeng was quick-witted and could not help but think about it.
Time has not come up with a useful strategy.
"My lord, this is not an easy matter. I can't think of a plan for a while. My lord is very smart. I wonder if you have any insights?"
Fu Susheng glanced at Fan Zeng helplessly, and then said helplessly: "If Fu Su had any insights, he would have gone straight to Muling Pass long ago to ask Mr. Ji Yu here."
