When Xu Chen saw Fan Ji suddenly turned against him, he regretted it so much that he even regretted his intestines. If Fan Ji took him to Jiaozhi and handed him over to the court, he would probably either be executed by Lingchi or dismembered from his body. He would die so miserable that he could not be more miserable.

It’s all because of my greed for merit and volunteering to persuade Fan Ji to surrender. I originally thought that with my relationship with Fan Ji, I could easily handle him.

But before he could think that Fan Ji was stupid and loyal. Wu Kingdom was now like this and was destroyed immediately. Fan Ji was still loyal to him. It seems that Xu Chen really made up his gains and losses this time.

The result of this miscalculation was something that Xu Chen could not bear. Xu Chen regretted it now, and he was in pain. He was so sad that he was not good at the prefect of Rinan. He just asked for fame and fortune. As a result, he fell here and gave his own wealth and life in vain.

But there are all kinds of medicines in this world, but there are no ones who sell regrets. No matter how much Xu Chen regrets, it is useless now. Now he has been thrown into the death row by Fan Ji, and he probably has to wait for death.

The soldiers guarding the prison van were Fan Ji's confidant. They escorted Xu Chen to Jiaozhi County along the way. No matter how threats and temptations Xu Chen was, they were still unmoved and did not take Xu Chen's stubbornness at all. Xu Chen used his genius, but in the end he played the zither with a cow and ignored him.

What Xu Chen is best at is his mouth. It is precisely because of this that Xu Chen has the courage to go to Jiuzhen County to persuade Fan Ji.

But Fan Ji didn't know that he would not be able to make money. Even if Xu Chen was talking so much, Fan Ji didn't care at all. He was determined to follow the remnant Wu court to advance and retreat together. Xu Chen not only surrendered to Wei, but also dared to be a lobbyist with a shameless face. Fan Ji had long wanted to take him down.

It was just to prevent Xu Chen from jumping over the wall and making actions that were unfavorable to him that Fan Ji took the initiative to withdraw from the central hall and then sent his personal soldiers to take Xu Chen down. Everyone was punished by such a traitor, but in order to seek credit from the court, Fan Ji did not kill Xu Chen himself, but handed him over to Tao Ji to deal with it.

At this moment, Fan Ji was very excited about capturing Xu Chen. As long as he was handed over to Tao Ji, he would definitely get praise. Xu Chen was a pure young man. He thought that with his own tongue, he could convince him. This was just a foolish thing and a delusion!

Although Fan Ji and Xu Chen are fellow villagers, it is reasonable to have a relationship between the two of them in private, they cannot blindly follow such a rebellious thing just by having a relationship with the party. Xu Chen takes himself too seriously. In fact, Fan Ji has long strengthened his beliefs and is ready to live and die with the Wu court.

This time Fan Ji escorted Xu Chen to Jiaozhi. In addition to handing him over to Tao Ji for punishment, Fan Ji also requested Tao Ji to send more reinforcements to Jiuzhen County to resist the Wei army.

No matter what, Xu Chen's arrival this time would give Fan Ji a way to understand the enemy situation. Otherwise, even if the Wei army rushed to the city of Jiuzhen County, Fan Ji would still be in a dark state.

This is certainly related to the news that the Wei army blocked the fall of Rinan County, but it also reflects a problem from one aspect, that is, the Jiuzhen defenders did not pay attention to something that would happen in Rinan County. Even if it was defense, they would only pay attention to the situation in Jiaozhi County. They would not have thought that Rinan County had already fallen into the hands of the Wei army.

Fortunately, Xu Chen took the initiative to run over, which made Fan Jiru wake up from his dream. It turned out that the Wei army had already gone behind Jiuzhen County and had already taken over Rinan County.

To be honest, Fan Ji really needs to thank Xu Chen very much. If Xu Chen hadn't come to "reveal and inform the news", Fan Ji wouldn't have known about the Wei army's attack.

If the Wei army suddenly launched an attack on Jiuzhen County at this time, it would inevitably catch the defenders of Jiuzhen County off guard, and it is very likely that Jiuzhen County would be lost.

Therefore, Fan Ji really needs to be grateful to Xu Chen, but Fan Ji's way of gratitude is a bit "special", that is, he specially arranged a wooden cage car that could not shelter the wind or rain, and sent Xu Chen to the Wu court. Such a meritorious minister would naturally have to reward him well.

As for Xu Chen's fate, it is no longer the scope of Fan Ji's consideration. Now that Fan Ji has received news of the Wei army's upcoming invasion, he naturally has to do his best to prepare for the war.

The defenders of Jiuzhen County were not only a few hundred people like Rinan County. Nearly half of them were transferred away by the imperial court, but Rinan County still retained at least 4,000 troops. Relying on the city defense of Rinan, Fan Ji was very confident in fighting.

What's more, Jiuzhen County itself is adjacent to Jiaozhi County. Once a war occurs on Jiuzhen County, the army on Jiaozhi County can reinforce Jiuzhen County at any time.

Therefore, relying on the powerful court forces, Fan Ji could not have been as frightened as Xu Chen when he heard the news of the Wei army's attack. Fan Ji was still very confident to compete with the Wei army.

With advance prediction, Fan Ji seemed to be much more at ease in laying troops. After escorting Xu Chen away from Jiuzhen County, Fan Ji immediately ordered martial law across the city, and all the troops entered a state of first-level combat readiness and were always ready for combat stance.

So the Wu army rushed to the top of Jiuzhen County, picking up bows and arrows, and holding swords and guns. They all looked grim. As if they were facing a great enemy, Fan Ji also ordered the four gates to be closed tightly. No one would be allowed to leave the city without following the general order.

Martial law will also be used in the city. At this time, in order to prevent detailed information from being transmitted, any people are prohibited from leaving the city. Anyone who escapes from the city privately will be killed.

Only iron-blooded means can create iron-blooded military discipline. In this regard, Fan Ji has a relatively clear understanding. If the military discipline is loose, then defeating wars is common.

Fan Ji's army has always been the title of Iron Army in the Jiaozhou Army. The main reason is that Fan Ji has been very strict in military discipline and is often steadily. Therefore, in the Jiaozhou military system, the Jiuzhen County soldiers are a relatively fresh and refined team, and their combat effectiveness is far better than the soldiers of other counties and counties.

This undoubtedly became one of Fan Ji's trump cards. Now, regardless of whether the Wei army was invading or not, Fan Ji has ordered the Jiuzhen soldiers to be on high alert and prepare for the war with all their might.

At this moment, the Wei army brigade had quietly approached Jiuzhen County, and had arrived at the outskirts of Jiuzhen County, and was only less than ten miles away from the city.
