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

Chapter 93: Close Face Opening, Liu Feng Sends His Wife Mourning Clothes

Pan Zhang's arrogance gradually weakened, and he began to waver in his heart:

[I never thought that after I left the city, Jiangling would have such a change. Liu Feng is a deceitful man, and what he said may not be true. It is better to respond to it for the time being and make a plan after returning to the city and meeting the Supreme.]

After making up his mind, Pan Zhang pretended to agree: "If General Liu can really let me go, I am willing to go back to the city to persuade the Marquis of Wu to return Jiangling. The Marquis of Wu had no intention of seizing Jiangling. This time he came to attack because he was angry that the Marquis of Guan had seized the rice from Xiangguan."

Liu Feng did not point out this old-fashioned excuse, and said with a smile: "General Pan is willing to help me persuade the Marquis of Wu to return Jiangling. The people of Jingzhou will certainly be grateful for General Pan's kindness. This is also a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

Liu Feng flattered and toasted at the same time.

Pan Zhang had been eating only bland soup for the past two days to survive, and now with wine and meat in front of him, he could no longer care about his reserve.

In Pan Zhang's opinion: no matter what Liu Feng's plan is, he must eat and drink enough first so that he will have the strength to return to Jiangling City.

In order not to arouse Liu Feng's suspicion, Pan Zhang ate and drank to his heart's content and got drunk.

Liu Feng ordered his soldiers to send Pan Zhang to another camp to rest, then he called several Wu soldiers outside the tent into the tent and distributed wine and meat to them.

After they had eaten and drunk, Liu Feng spoke up, "I never thought General Pan could not drink much. He will probably not wake up until the afternoon. In order to prevent Marquis Wu from disrupting the peace talks between the two families today, would you be willing to go back to Jiangling City on behalf of General Pan and tell Marquis Wu about the agreement between General Pan and me?"

These military officers looked at each other and saw the joy in their eyes. They all expressed their willingness to return to Jiangling City for Pan Zhang first.

No one wants to be a prisoner forever.

If we can go back to Jiangling City, it would naturally be better to go back to Jiangling City.

Liu Feng took out some gold and silver and distributed them to several people, saying, "General Pan and I are old acquaintances. If we were not serving different masters, General Pan and I would not have fought against each other. Serving as soldiers to eat food and making meritorious deeds to get rewards are not easy for us in troubled times. Take these gold and silver, and when you return to the city, you can tell everyone my sincerity in peace talks. If the two families fight, it will only benefit Cao Cao."

Liu Feng's "sincerity" and "real money" soon won the favor of several military marquises, who patted their chests and made promises.

In the past, Lu Meng used gold and silver to bribe the soldiers of Maicheng in order to disrupt the morale of the army; now Liu Feng also used gold and silver to win over the soldiers of Jiangling in order to disrupt the morale of the army.

Regardless of whether it is successful or not.

As long as there is a chance to disrupt the morale of the Jiangling army, Liu Feng is willing to spend a lot of money.

After seeing off the Wu soldiers and generals, Liu Feng yawned heavily.

Even a strong body can't stand the days of hard work.

The drunk Pan Zhang slept until the afternoon before waking up from his drunkenness.

A soldier had already prepared rice for Pan Zhang, so Pan Zhang had another full meal.

During the meal, Pan Zhang tried to probe the soldiers again and learned from them that "Yu Jin sent clothes, armor, flags and weapons to Liu Feng, and Liu Feng gave Yu Jin military rations."

After dinner, Pan Zhang wanted to return to Jiangling City.

But when he came to Liu Feng to resign, he was told that Liu Feng was drunk.

Pan Zhang could only wait for Liu Feng to wake up.

Liu Feng waited until dusk before he came to see Pan Zhang.

When Liu Feng saw Pan Zhang, he apologized, "I have been too tired these days and have slept too soundly. I dare not disturb you and have kept you waiting for so long. It is getting late today and the road is cold and difficult to walk at night. How about we go back tomorrow morning?"

Pan Zhang originally wanted to go to Jiangling City overnight, but then he thought that Liu Feng's words made sense.

This place is nearly twenty miles away from Jiangling City. It is pitch dark at night. I don’t know how miserable it must be.

Seeing that Pan Zhang agreed, Liu Feng took out some wine and meat and shared them with Pan Zhang, so that Pan Zhang could get enough rest so that he could go to Jiangling City tomorrow.

Pan Zhang was not polite either. He ate with relish and drank heavily, getting drunk again.

Liu Feng still had Pan Zhang carried back to the tent, and asked Kou Anguo to personally stand guard at night to "guard" Pan Zhang.

Subsequently.

Liu Feng put on his armor, rode his horse, and left the camp with fifty guards.

On the way.

Liu Feng caught up with the two thousand soldiers led by Fang Yuesijunhou.

It was still the standard armor, flags and weapons of the Wu soldiers, as well as Pan Zhang's general flag.

Although he said it was getting late, Liu Feng actually had other purposes and did not want Pan Zhang to go to Jiangling City tonight.

Taking advantage of the daytime to release a few Wu soldiers and generals back to disrupt the morale of the Jiangling army, Liu Feng plans to seize Jiangling city tonight.

Although you may not succeed, you will never succeed if you hesitate.

It's the hour of Chou.

Liu Feng led his troops quietly to the vicinity of Jiangling City.

Fang Yueze brought more than 20 people to the foot of the city and shouted to the top of the city: "Who is on duty at the top of the city? Open the gate quickly, General Pan wants to enter the city."

The Wu soldiers on the city wall were startled and hurriedly reported to the military officer on duty.

The military officer came to the top of the city wall, looked at the sturdy man who looked like Pan Zhang, and shouted back: "I am Kong Shun, a military officer under General Zhu. I have been ordered to patrol the north gate tonight. General Zhu has issued a strict order that the city gates must not be opened at night. I hope General Pan will forgive me."

Fang Yue cursed: "It's so cold, are you going to freeze us to death? General Pan sent people back to the city in broad daylight. Didn't someone from Wu Hou give you orders? You are just a small military marquis, are you really going to embarrass General Pan?"

Kong Shun, who was standing on the top of the city wall, suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Kong Shun also heard about the military officers returning to the city during the day.

However, Kong Shun soon received Zhu Ran's military order: no one was allowed to discuss Pan Zhang privately, and the city was not allowed to be opened at night, not even if Pan Zhang came in person.

Zhu Ran’s military orders cannot be disobeyed, and Pan Zhang cannot afford to offend him.

After thinking for a while, Kong Shun shouted: "Military orders are as heavy as mountains. It is my duty. Please allow me to ask General Zhu for orders!"

Fang Yue shouted: "General Pan's patience is limited, go and report immediately!"

Seeing that there was no movement on the top of the city wall, Fang Yue whispered to the fake Pan Zhang: "The person who will come later must know Pan Zhang, so don't let him show any flaws."

The fake Pan Zhang nodded heavily: "Don't worry, General, I have already learned 70% of Pan Zhang's voice. I will also lie that I caught a cold and my voice is hoarse. I guarantee he won't be able to tell the difference."

In the rear, Liu Feng led his troops to lie in wait.

Pretending to open the city gate is a very common strategy, and it is also a strategy with a very mysterious success rate.

Sometimes you think you are well prepared, but you may fail because of a stubborn soldier on duty.

Sometimes, even though there are many loopholes, the plan may succeed due to the carelessness of the soldiers on duty.

This is actually a strategy of gambling on luck.

Success does not depend on the party that executes the strategy, but on the party that defends the city.

After a while.

A general in armor appeared from the top of the city wall. It was Zhu Ran.

Looking at Fang Yue and others under the city, Zhu Ran shouted: "Where is General Pan?"

The fake Pan Zhang stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "General Zhu, I'm here. I've caught a cold and can't stay outside the city for too long. Please open the door."

Zhu Ran frowned when he heard this.

Just as the fake Pan Zhang had just said, Zhu Ran really couldn't tell whether the voice coming from the city was from the real Pan Zhang or the fake Pan Zhang.

It was dark at night and Zhu Ran couldn't see the fake Pan Zhang's face clearly.

After a moment's silence, Zhu Ran asked tentatively, "General Pan, can we stay outside the city for a while and then enter the city after dawn?"

The fake Pan Zhang was furious: "General Zhu, are you doubting me?"

Zhu Ran found an excuse and said, "General Pan, don't get excited. Liu Feng attacked Jiangjinkou last night and claimed that you have surrendered. I definitely don't believe it. Not opening the city gate is not because I doubt General Pan, but because I am worried that Liu Feng will take the opportunity to seize the city."

The fake Pan Zhang cursed: "General Zhu, you are going too far! Jiangling City has tens of thousands of troops in the city. Even if Liu Feng comes in person, what can he do? Just because you are afraid that Liu Feng will seize the city, you want me to freeze outside the city. How ridiculous! When the general who fought against the rebellion was here, I have never suffered such humiliation."

"Are you going to be a turtle in Jiangling City?"

Provoked by the fake Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran also got angry: "General Pan, you are also a general that the Marquis of Wu values. Watch your words."

The fake Pan Zhang was even more angry: "Words? What words should I be careful about? Quan Cong kid leaked my whereabouts, causing me to be ambushed by Liu Feng, and nearly all three thousand men were wiped out. You stopped me from entering the city. Are you trying to collude with Quan Cong kid?"

Zhu Ran's face changed drastically: "General Pan, how can you talk nonsense!"

The fake Pan Zhang shouted, "How ridiculous! I followed the orders of General Lu to attack Linju. I worked very hard all the way, but was betrayed by a villain. Do you still want me to endure it? Open the city gates and don't mess with me!"

Zhu Ran was shocked and horrified.

Sun Quan had concealed the news of Pan Zhang's defeat. First, the defeated soldiers were silenced, and then all the soldiers on duty at the north gate were transferred to the guards. The few military officers who were on duty during the day were also controlled.

Never thought.

Pan Zhang actually shouted out his defeat right outside the city. Was he afraid that no one would know?

"General Pan, how dare you talk nonsense!" Zhu Ran was angry and anxious.

The fake Pan Zhang ignored him, his hoarse voice full of anger: "Think about me, Pan Zhang. I always lead the troops to fight the toughest battles. I didn't expect that I would be killed by Quan Cong in the end! There were 3,000 people who followed me for ten years. I hate it!"

Zhu Ran was even more frightened when he saw the fake Pan Zhang shouting more and more fiercely, and suspicions arose in his heart.

at this time.

Liu Feng, who was in the rear, came to the city and shouted to the fake Pan Zhang: "General Pan, I told you long ago that Sun Quan is the most heartless. Think about Ling Tong. Did Sun Quan still use him after he lost all his troops? I wiped out all your 3,000 men, so how could Sun Quan spare you?"

Zhu Ran on the top of the city was horrified: "Pan Zhang, you really surrendered to Liu Feng? And you dare to bring troops to deceive the city?"

The fake Pan Zhang remained silent.

Liu Feng laughed loudly: "What a good way to accuse someone of a crime! General Pan, it seems that the generals you sent back to the city today have been controlled. You can't even see Sun Quan. Sun Quan is so suspicious of you, how pathetic!"

Looking at Zhu Ran on the top of the city wall, Liu Feng raised his whip and shouted: "Listen, you people on the top of the city wall, I am Liu Feng, the son of the King of Hanzhong and the Deputy General of the Han Army. You have tens of thousands of soldiers, but I only have a few thousand soldiers and horses to beat you and make you dare not leave the city. How cowardly are you?"

"I came here today to bring a gift to Sun Quan. Sun Quan is as timid as a mouse, has neither heroism nor manly courage, and is unworthy of being a man."

"Tell Sun Quan: If you don't dare to come out of the city to fight me, then put on the women's mourning clothes and headscarf I gave you. I, Liu Feng, do not kill women!"

"Hahaha--"

The soldiers in the rear came forward and raised a flag with the words "Please Sun Quan change your women's clothes" written on it. Tied to the flagpole were the women's headscarf and mourning clothes that Liu Feng had selected for Sun Quan.

In order to make it clear for those on the city wall to see clearly, the soldiers thoughtfully placed torches next to the flags.

Zhu Ran was so angry that his eyes seemed to be emitting fire.

In today's social context, asking men to wear women's mourning clothes and headscarves is tantamount to going too far.

Those who can endure it are all Ninja Turtle.

"Liu Feng, you bastard, I swear to kill you!"

Zhu Ran tightly grasped the bow and arrow in his hand and shot an arrow at Liu Feng.

But at this distance, it is extremely difficult to injure Liu Feng.

Liu Feng used his spear to knock the exhausted arrow away, and did not forget to taunt Zhu Ran: "You don't even have the strength to shoot an arrow, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a general. There are no more men under Sun Quan's command!"

Zhu Ran was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and he threw the bow to the ground angrily.

Although he was angry, Zhu Ran was not stupid.

Leaving the city at this time would be asking for trouble.

But if he didn't leave the city, Zhu Ran felt embarrassed and shouted, "Liu Feng, don't bother talking. If you have the guts, come and attack the city!"

Liu Feng laughed loudly: "Well said! Three days later, I will personally lead the army to attack the city! Since I can capture Quan Cong, defeat Pan Zhang, and kill Han Dang with a sword, I can also break this Jiangling City and capture cowards like you."

"If you have the guts, go out of the city and cut down this flag, so that I can see if your methods are as sharp as your mouth."
