Chapter 0093 Gongsun Zan's wishful thinking

Gongsun Zan, who was beating drums outside the city, couldn't help laughing when he saw Fuliu City being broken. He threw the drumsticks in his hand at the soldiers beside him, walked over and held Liu Bei's hand and said, "Brother, you are really a blessing for your brother. In less than half an hour, Yun Chang and Yide broke through the city. Let's go into the city together."

The husband on the north gate city tower saw that Yan Gang had entered the city with his cavalry, and was calling his subordinates to prepare to go down the city to greet Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. Suddenly, he heard his subordinates shouting: "San Master, look, there is a secret passage in the city tower!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly walked over with his Snake Spear, and came to the secret passage where his subordinates appeared. He leaned his head and looked inside, but saw that it was dark inside and could not see anything clearly.

"San Master," said a team leader who was squatting beside Zhang Fei, "The one who can go down to the secret must be the high-ranking official, maybe it is the help of Liu Ling to hide in it. Please allow Xiao to go down and capture him alive."

Although Zhang Fei looked rude, he was not a reckless person. He stared at the entrance and frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The situation below is unknown. If you go down rashly, you may be plotted against it. Let's do this. I see that there are still a lot of firewood on the top of the city. I lit it and threw it in, and smoke the people hiding inside."

"The Third Master is wise," the team leader quickly ordered the county soldiers standing around, "What are you still standing and doing? Haven't you heard the Third Master say? Why don't you find firewood to light it and throw it in, and smoke out the people hiding inside."

With the command of the team leader, a group of county soldiers under him quickly lit the firewood piled beside him and threw them all into the secret passage. Seeing thick smoke coming out of the secret passage, Zhang Fei listened and heard that except for the crackling sound of the firewood burning, he could not hear anything. He quickly stood up and shouted at the county soldiers standing around, "Everyone, hurry up and find a guy to fan the inside and smoke all the people inside."

As soon as Zhang Fei finished speaking, two county soldiers came over with a broken door. They were about to split the broken door and threw it down as firewood. When they heard Zhang Fei's orders, they immediately changed their minds, treated the door as a fan, and then slapped the smoke again and again to the secret passage.

Not long after, a violent coughing sound came from the secret passage, and then someone shouted intermittently: "Don't... don't burn... let's burn, let's go... let's go!"

Hearing the sound in the secret passage, Zhang Fei ordered the county soldiers to carry two buckets of water and pour it into the cave, extinguishing the firewood that was still burning.

The fire was extinguished by water, and before the thick smoke had dissipated, a county soldier with blood stains and a black face burst out from it. As soon as he got out of the secret passage, he knelt on the ground and coughed repeatedly.

Zhang Fei stepped forward and lifted him up, and asked loudly: "Who is there in the secret passage?"

The county soldiers coughed and said, "Cough cough cough... Envoy, Lord, is... cough cough cough... in... inside."

"Little ones," Zhang Fei's face immediately smiled when he heard that Fu Liu Ling was hiding in the secret passage. He ordered loudly: "Go down and two people, invite Fu Liu Ling up."

The team leader who stood next to him felt that this was a good opportunity to make contributions, so he quickly volunteered and took a county soldier down the secret passage. In a corner of the secret passage, he found the unconscious Fu Liuling. Then the two of them raised their heads and the other, and lifted their feet out like a dead pig.

Zhang Fei looked at the middle-aged man in military uniform and faced like a Kitchen God lying on the ground, and asked the county soldier who came out first with concern: "Is this really your county magistrate?"

"Yes, yes, general." The county soldiers who were so scared that they could only answer honestly: "He is the envoy. When he saw that the city was in danger of protection, it was a villain who knocked him out and dragged him into the secret passage. He originally planned to take him out of the city until dark, but he was accidentally revealed by the general."

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he nodded at him: "You are quite loyal to Fu Liu Ling. I wonder if you would like to follow me, Lao Zhang, to join the army to eat food?"

"I'm willing, I'm willing." The county soldiers glanced at the soldiers holding swords and guns around them, and hurriedly agreed: "I'm willing to serve the general."

After Zhang Fei ordered the team to lead the loyal county soldier to take him under his command, he then ordered his subordinates standing aside, "Come on, tie up the Fuliu Ling and take it to General Gongsun."

Just as Zhang Fei was about to take Fu Liu Ling down the city tower, he saw Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan walking side by side onto the city tower. He hurried forward to greet him and asked curiously: "Brother, why are you here?"

Liu Bei glanced at the location where the fire was soaring into the sky in the city, and said helplessly: "The county government has caught fire, and General Yan Gang is still attracting people to save me. I can only come here with Brother Gongsun to rest first."

When Gongsun Zan saw the Liu Ling tied up by five flowers, he asked Zhang Fei curiously: "Yide, who is this?"

"Magistrate of Fuliu County."

"What, he is Fuliu Ling?!" After hearing Zhang Fei's answer, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were both shocked. Liu Bei walked to the side that had just woken up, but because of his weakness, Fuliu Ling, who was erected by two county soldiers, looked him up and down, and asked in surprise: "Are you Fuliu Ling?"

"Yes, I'm Fu Liu Ling!" Fu Liu Ling raised his head and said righteously: "Since it has fallen into your hands, I will kill and cut you as you please, I will never frown."

When Liu Bei heard what he said, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch violently. He remembered what Guan Yu sent to report just now, and then bit his back teeth and asked, "I heard from my second brother that you were full of firewood and firewood in the county government, and locked up all your family in the county government government. When the city was broken, you immediately raised the fire and burned them all. Am I right?"

"Yes, what you said is true." Fu Liuling said with regret: "The Marquis of the Weixiang City has the kindness of knowing me. Since I cannot defend the city, I can only live and die with the city."

"Come," Gongsun Zan suddenly ordered loudly: "Pull Fuliu Order to the moat and kill him."

"Brother, wait," Liu Bei saw that Gongsun Zan wanted to kill Fuliu Ling, and quickly spoke out and persuaded him: "This person is loyal and righteous, and he is unknown to kill. It is better to be imprisoned in prison for the time being and deal with it after we defeat Yuan Shao."

"My brother is a pity," Gongsun Zan said, seeing Liu Bei begging for helping Liu Ling, "I killed him just to fulfill his loyalty and righteousness. You don't have to say anything anymore." Then he glared at the subordinates next to him, "What are you still standing there? Push him out and behead him."

When Fu Liu Ling passed by Gongsun Zan, he grinned at him, "Thank you, Gongsun Taishou for fulfilling his accomplishment." After that, he held his chest and left the city tower.

As soon as he took Fu Liu away, a small school went to Gongsun Zan to kneel down on one knee: "Report to the lord, there is an envoy involved in the national order to ask for a visit."

"The envoy of the Sheguo Order?" After hearing the report from the primary school, Gongsun Zan looked around and asked, "Do you know who Sheguo Order is?"

The left and right answered quickly, "I don't know."

Seeing that no one could give him an answer, Gongsun Zan instructed the school: "Take the messenger here."

Han Zhan's messenger was under the city tower, and soon followed the school to the city tower, knelt down on one knee and saluted to Gongsun Zan: "The messenger under the national order, join the prefect of Gongsun!"

When Liu Bei saw Gongsun Zan throwing a meaningful look at him, he immediately took a step forward with understanding and asked the messenger kneeling on the ground: "Do you dare to ask the messenger, who is the national order?"

"Reply to the general," the messenger saw that Liu Bei was wearing military uniform and could not figure out his identity, so he could only vaguely call him, and then explained: "My envoy's surname is Han Zhan, and he was the son of Han Fu, the former governor of Jizhou, and was appointed as the magistrate of the Sheguo County by Yuan Shao."

After finding out who the State Order was, Liu Bei took the letter from the messenger and handed it to Gongsun Zan on the side. After reading it, Gongsun Zan bowed his head and said to the messenger: "Messenger, please go back and tell your messenger, and I will agree to his conditions. We will attack Yuan Shao with him, and then divide the world evenly after taking it back to Jizhou."

After leaving the messenger, Gongsun Zan called Tian Chou and ordered: "Send the order, and the army will rest in Fuliu City for ten days before leaving Jizhou."

"Brother," Liu Bei asked in confusion when he heard Gongsun Zan's inexplicable order: "Our army has seized Fuliu City, and we can rush to Jieqiao to seize Guangzong. Why should we rest here for ten days?"

"Sheguo Ling has a grudge against Yuan Shao to kill his father," Gongsun Zan said with a sneer: "Let them fight to the death with Yuan Shao in Jizhou first. When Yuan Shao loses his troops and loses his generals, it will not be too late for us to send troops again. Maybe we won't have to divide Jizhou equally with the Han children, hahahaha!" After that, he smiled to the sky.
