Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

"Pan Jun, is he really having an affair with Man Chong?"

There was three parts of surprise and three parts of joy in Lu Xun's tone.

During this period, Wang Chong visited the civil and military officials of Jianye in the name of Liu Feng, and it was basically Lu Xun who acted as a matchmaker.

Wang Chong had visited even a minor official who had just entered the government in the northern city of Jianye.

As for cases like Pan Jun and his son, Wang Chong would avoid them if he could, and if he couldn't, he would lie and say he had "urgent need to go to the bathroom". Wang Chong mentioned the specific reason to Lu Xun: Liu Feng was very angry and the consequences would be serious.

Lu Xun once wanted to "vent" Liu Feng's anger, but because Pan Jun's words and deeds were within the rules and his behavior was moderate, he never found a suitable opportunity.

And now.

However, Sun Lu took the initiative to come forward and tell him: Pan Jun was having an affair with Man Chong and wanted to ruin Liu Feng's plan, so he wanted to help Liu Feng get rid of Pan Jun!

Lu Xun's eyes became "clear".

Here comes the work!

It turns out that pie really does fall from the sky!

Sun Lu nodded heavily: "Although there is no direct evidence, Pan Jun has been making frequent suggestions to my father recently, trying to persuade him to join forces with Man Chong and Sima Yi to attack His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. If Pan Jun and Man Chong are not in collusion, how can we believe it?
Today, the city guards reported that Pan Jun's second son, Pan Mi, had left the city this afternoon and his whereabouts are unknown. I think Pan Mi is very likely to find a small way to Hefei."

Lu Xun was slightly surprised.

Sun Lu even found out that Pan Mi had left the city in the afternoon and his whereabouts were unknown.

this means.

Sun Lu had been assisting in handling military and political affairs during this period of time and had become proficient in it, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the information about Pan Mi leaving the city so quickly.

Looking at the young man in front of him who had a young face but was calm and intelligent, Lu Xun also had admiration in his eyes.

[It seems that the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan values Master Lu is not simply because he wants to cultivate a close person in the Sun clan. Master Lu has a lot of his grandfather's style. ]

The copper bells on the eaves were ruffled by the river breeze, and the tinkling sound made the room even quieter.

"Mr. Lu, how do you plan to respond?" Lu Xun looked at the young man in front of him.

Sun Lu had already prepared a plan and said bluntly: "After being rejected by my father, Pan Jun will definitely contact the civil and military officials in the city who were instigated by Man Chong to rebel and wait for an opportunity to cause chaos.

However, Man Chong was far away in Hefei and could not join forces with Pan Jun to capture the city. Therefore, I think that Pan Jun's rebellion was not to lure Man Chong into the city, but to imitate Ban Chao's story in Shanshan and kill Wang Chong, the envoy of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

If Wang Chong died, Pan Jun could take the opportunity to advise his father again, and persuade him to join forces with Man Chong and Sima Yi to attack His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

If my father is afraid of being questioned by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, he will have no choice but to submit; if my father wants to take Pan Jun and others to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to ask for punishment, Pan Jun and others may directly hold my father hostage and create chaos.

Ask Commander Lu to take away 80% of the troops in Jianye City on the pretext of "responding to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan's gathering of troops at Ruxukou" in order to lure Pan Jun.

If you see a fire in the city, Commander Lu can lead his troops back to the city to help me capture the thieves!"

Sun Lu then slowly explained the details.

The general direction of the plan was formulated by Sun Quan for Sun Lu, while the details were decided by Sun Lu himself.

Lu Xun listened quietly to Sun Lu's plan to kill the rebels, and asked, "If I take away 80% of the troops, how can Master Lu stop Pan Jun's rebels before I return to the city?"

Sun Lu hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "My father has transferred the Imperial Guards to me for command."

Lu Xun was slightly surprised.

Sun Quan's guards would basically not be transferred to other people.

But now he transferred the Imperial Guard to Sun Lu's command, which fully shows Sun Quan's attitude towards Pan Jun.

Originally, Lu Xun was worried that Sun Quan would turn a blind eye to the incident because of his past friendship with Pan Jun.

Now it seems.

The reason why Sun Lu came to see him was actually because of Sun Quan's instructions.

Sun Quan, gave up Pan Jun!

"I heard that General Zhou is ill. Does he still have the strength to lead his troops in battle?" Lu Xun was a little worried.

Sun Lu said, "Before I came to see Commander Lu, I had already asked General Zhou. Although General Zhou is ill, it does not affect his riding to the battlefield. Moreover, with his sons Zhou Shao and Zhou Cheng here, there is no need for General Zhou to go into battle personally."

Lu Xun clapped his hands: "Okay! Since Master Lu has made detailed arrangements, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

Wait until Sun Lu leaves.

Lu Xun sent someone to invite Wang Chong and informed him of everything.

Sun Lu was young and did not consider things comprehensively.

In the plan that Sun Quan made for Sun Lu, Wang Chong's life or death was not important.

Just a messenger.

Whether Wang Chong lives or dies, it does not affect Sun Lu's great achievement in killing Pan Jun and others.

However, Lu Xun thought it would be better to inform Wang Chong about this matter to prevent Wang Chong from making any mistakes and angering Liu Feng.

“You’re using me as bait.” Wang Chong said in a playful tone.

Lu Xun covered up for Sun Lu and said, "Mr. Lu is young, so it is inevitable that he may not be thoughtful. Please don't think too much."

Wang Chong laughed: "Commander Lu has misunderstood. I have no ill will towards Master Lu. It's just that Pan Jun wants to kill me, but it's not that easy!"

The position I am in is just a temporary one assigned to me by His Highness when he ordered me on the diplomatic mission. After all, I have fought on the battlefield for many years. You really treat me as a scholar who has never been to the battlefield!

but.

Wang Chong did not reveal all his cards to Lu Xun.

Although Wang Chong cannot be called a famous general, he has experienced many murderous intentions both in the officialdom and on the battlefield, first with Li Yan, then with Zhang He, and finally with Liu Feng.

Being able to survive is not just a matter of luck.

After talking with Lu Xun.

Wang Chong returned to the posthouse.

Subsequently.

Wang Chong sent his followers out of the city to Chaisang as usual to inform Liu Feng of the impending changes in Jianye.

a few days later.

Liu Feng of Chaisang sent someone to Jianye to deliver a message, ordering Lu Xun to gather the troops of Jianye and assemble at Ruxukou.

Lu Xun responded to Liu Feng's military order and took away 80% of Jianye's troops the next day, leaving only 20% to be responsible for the daily security and defense of Jianye City.

Upon learning that Lu Xun had left, Pan Zhu returned in joy and told Pan Jun the news: "Father, Lu Xun has taken most of the soldiers in the city to Ruxukou. Here is our chance!"

Pan Jun's tone also showed surprise: "Really?"

Pan Zhu nodded, "It is absolutely true! Liu Feng is very cunning. He wanted to take Jiangdong without bloodshed, and he also wanted to use Jiangdong's money, food and troops to attack Hefei, so he dragged it on until the autumn harvest.

Now the tax grain from each county is being transported to Ruxukou. At the latest before winter next month, Liu Feng will definitely use troops to attack Hefei. He summoned Lu Xun to Ruxukou, probably to prepare to organize the troops and take an oath.

We don't have much time! If we wait until Liu Feng arrives at Ruxukou and reads the imperial edict in front of all the generals at Ruxukou, it will be useless even if we kill Wang Chong."

Pan Jun snorted coldly: "Liu Feng is as treacherous as ever! The troops, horses, money and food are all gathered at Ruxukou. If he reads the imperial edict in public, he can easily take control of the military power."

Imagine.

There was money and food in Ruxukou, and Liu Feng also brought the imperial edict.

If you want an official position, give it to you; if you want money, give it to you; if you want food, give it to you.

what?
Not convinced?

Liu Feng was given everything he wanted, so what else was there to be dissatisfied about?
Do you really think Liu Feng's reputation is based on his family connections?

Is it that Liu Fengti no longer uses the knife or that he doesn't dare to kill people to establish his authority?

Why did Sun Quan not have high prestige in the army?
In addition to Sun Quan's own lack of military power, the most important thing is that the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were all raised by their own generals and officers.

The little money and food rewards given by Sun Quan were not enough for the officers to support their troops.

Only by winning the battle can you snatch points from the enemy, which is essentially the same as the gangster approach.

You have to let the horse run but not let it be well fed. Even the Qi family army, which has an amazing record of military success, will become a weakling without military pay.

Therefore.

Liu Feng used the simplest and most direct way to improve the morale and spirit of the Jiangdong soldiers: generous rewards!

In addition to transporting grain from Poyang, Yuzhang and Luling to Ruxukou, Liu Feng also transported a large amount of Shu brocade from Jingzhou.

The ships full of expensive Shu brocade were simply moored at Ruxukou. Except for being covered on rainy days, they were unpacked at other times.

All the soldiers at Ruxukou can see it if they want!

The euphemism was "the air in Ruxukou is humid, so we need to let the Shu brocade breathe", but in fact it was telling the Jiangdong soldiers gathered at Ruxukou: Did you see that? Before the battle of Hefei, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had already prepared the Shu brocade for rewarding the three armies!
Want Shu brocade?
Then let’s take Hefei! The earliest batch has been anchored for two months!
Subsequent Shu brocade is still being delivered!

In the past, when Sun Quan gathered his troops at Ruxukou, the generals and officers counted on their fingers every day to calculate when the battle would be over so that they could go home to raise money to support the army.

Liu Feng gathered his troops at Ruxukou. The officers stared at the boatloads of Shu brocade every day. Sometimes when they saw the damp Shu brocade being taken out on the boat to dry, they felt more upset than losing money. Some officers even privately complained to Liu Feng why he hadn't sent troops to attack Hefei yet.

Pan Jun and Pan Zhu also know about the daily life of Ruxukou.

This is also the reason why Pan Zhu was anxious.

The soldiers in Ruxukou, who had been tempted by money and food for more than two months, were all wide-eyed.

There are only two ways to drive this group of people now:
1. Liu Feng arrived at Ruxukou with the imperial edict, swore to march to Hefei, and received rewards for killing the enemy!
Second, Sun Quan decided to join forces with Cao Wei again, confiscate all the money and grain, and reward the soldiers!
If only Sun Quan, Sun Lu and Lu Xun had used the strategy, they might not have been able to trick Pan Jun and his son.

Pan Jun and his son deserve this bad luck.

With Liu Feng as the "big trend", Pan Jun and his son could only act hastily.

Even though Pan Jun and his son guessed that this was a trap, they had no choice but to step into it!
"There is no time to lose, let's take action tonight!" Pan Jun's tone became cruel.

Long nights and many dreams.

If Liu Feng suddenly comes to Ruxukou, there will be no chance for us to make any plans!

To avoid the news leaking out.

Pan Jun and his son did not gather too many people. Those who participated in tonight's operation were basically those who abandoned Liu Bei in Jingzhou and followed Sun Quan to migrate to Jianye.

As for the other civil and military officials who were instigated and bribed by Man Chong, Pan Jun and his son did not contact them.

As long as these people are not stupid, they will definitely respond when they see Pan Jun and his son starting a rebellion, and there is no need to notify them in advance.

late at night.

As autumn came into Jianye, the nights became chilly.

There was basically no one on the streets except for the soldiers on night patrol.

Pan Jun also put on armor, carrying a sword and a bow.

The servants and soldiers scattered throughout the city, taking advantage of the moonlight, sneaked towards the post house where Wang Chong was, and then surrounded the post house.

A rough estimate of the number of people is that there are more than a thousand!
When Pan Jun arrived at the posthouse, he ordered everyone to set fire to the posthouse without any hesitation. He also ordered people to shout "fire" and lined up bows and arrows in front of the gates of the posthouse, intending to force Wang Chong and others out of the posthouse and shoot them to death.

In terms of decisiveness and deployment, Pan Jun is impeccable.

However, what Pan Jun didn't know was.

After Lu Xun left the city during the day, Wang Chong, relying on his rich experience in battlefield survival, predicted that Pan Jun would attack the posthouse tonight, and left the posthouse in advance under the cover of night.

When it comes to commanding troops in battle, Wang Chong may not be able to defeat Pan Jun.

When it comes to surviving on the battlefield, Pan Jun eats less rice than Wang Chong eats salt.

Seeing the fireworks heading straight for the posthouse, but no sound coming from inside, Pan Jun's face changed drastically.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!"

Just as he reacted, a troop of soldiers came from behind.

The leader was Sun Lu.

On the left side of Sun Lu was Sun Quan’s personal guard general: Zhou Tai!
When Pan Jun saw Zhou Tai on the war horse, his face turned pale.

Zhou Tai's appearance here means that the game tonight was set up by Sun Quan. He has been sold out by Sun Quan, and yet he foolishly thinks he can force Sun Quan to surrender!

"Sun-Quan-"

Pan Jun was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He thought he could control Sun Quan, but he never expected that he was controlled by Sun Quan instead.

This setback to his self-esteem was far more difficult for Pan Jun to accept than the failure of tonight's plan.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Pan Jun was so angry that his heart was overwhelmed, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

"kill!"

Zhou Tai's tone became even colder.

Although he was just standing on horseback, he gave off a strong sense of oppression without even showing any anger.

"Pan Jun, you bastard, prepare to die!" Zhou Shao led the charge and went straight for Pan Jun.

Zhou Cheng also led his troops to attack.

Sun Quan's guards were all brave and capable warriors. They charged at the servants and soldiers temporarily organized by Pan Jun like a tiger charging at a flock of sheep. They were not on the same level at all.

"Father, break out quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Zhu blocked Zhou Shao while persuading Pan Jun to leave.

Pan Jun pulled Pan Zhu away and shouted, "Escape means death, fight and you can still live! There are only 300 of us, what's there to be afraid of! As long as we hold on for a while, soldiers from the city will respond! Don't be afraid of Zhou Tai, this old villain is seriously ill and can no longer fight!"

After Pan Jun's shout, the stragglers who were originally a little frightened also calmed down.

Yup!

We have more than a thousand people, and the other side has only three hundred.

There were still soldiers in the city who had not yet had time to contact and respond.

Zhou Tai is seriously ill and cannot fight!

can win!

Zhou Tai felt humiliated when he saw this group of guerrillas becoming so "powerful".

"hehe."

"Protect Master Lu!"

Zhou Tai ordered his soldiers to protect Sun Lu, then dismounted from his horse, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and walked straight towards Pan Jun.

Anyone who blocked his way was chopped down by Zhou Tai with one knife, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

"This old villain is sick, but he is still so brave?" Pan Jun subconsciously tightened his knife.

Seeing Zhou Tai coming all the way, Pan Zhu quickly gave up Zhou Shao and ran straight to Zhou Tai: "Old thief, do you recognize me, Pan Zhu?"

"roll!"

The roar was like that of a tiger or leopard, and it almost broke Pan Zhu's eardrums.

During this moment of distraction, Zhou Tai's knife hit Pan Zhu's neck.

Seeing Pan Zhu being chopped down without even a groan, Pan Jun's eyes turned red: "Zhou Tai, you bastard, how dare you kill my beloved son!"

"Noisy!"

Another knife strike, directly towards Pan Jun.

Pan Jun tried his best to block, but the knife in his hand was actually knocked away. On the other hand, Zhou Tai's heavy knife, with the remaining force, directly hit Pan Jun's left shoulder, and then he chopped again, cutting a big gash in Pan Jun's body.

"You, old thief!"

Pan Jun never expected that Zhou Tai would be so brave and decisive.

There's no intention of even capturing me alive, it's a life-and-death fight from the start.

What Pan Jun didn't know was that Zhou Tai was not originally prepared to go into battle himself, and that he was truly ill.

However, Pan Jun's words "Don't be afraid of Zhou Tai. This old villain is seriously ill and can no longer fight" angered Zhou Tai.

Who is Zhou Tai?

Even though they were wounded dozens of times and their skin was as red as carvings, they were still determined to fight to the death.

Pan Jun actually dared to mock Zhou Tai to his face?
How could Zhou Tai bear it?
This is not how you seek death.

Why pick on someone else when you can? Why pick on a killer who doesn't care about his life on the battlefield?

Plus.

Sun Lu had already told Zhou Tai not to kill Pan Jun alive.

Since he had decided to be Liu Feng's weapon, Sun Lu could not let Liu Feng worry about how to deal with Pan Jun.

"Pan Jun is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!" (End of this chapter)
