Eight hundred and sixty seventh chapter Lingling fell
The pottery merchant somewhat despised Zhao Fan as a person.
Although he admits that the word widow does have appeal to men.
Especially a beautiful widow that others say will arouse many people's fantasies and trigger the most primitive animal nature in human beings.
But Tao Shang feels that he is a high-level person with cognition and should not be complicit with people like Zhao Fan.
Using his own sister-in-law as a bargaining chip for his promotion is really too much and just following the trend.
Is this the first day this guy has met me?
When we meet for the first time, I have to offer my sister-in-law to warm the bed. Isn't this a bit much?
Don't you know how to make small talk?
You are very enthusiastic, aren't you? Are we that familiar?
Although he despised Zhao Fan's behavior in his heart, the pottery merchant still did not refute him face to face. After all, this person was still very important to the situation.
"Tao understands Governor Zhao's kindness. I don't think this is necessary... Tao has no need for this recently."
When Zhao Fan saw the potter's refusal, he became anxious!
He hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, you're welcome, my sister-in-law doesn't want a status!"
grass!
Who do you think you are? Can you even say this?
If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping you, I would have asked Gan Ning to throw you into the river to feed the fish.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't want the title, and I don't." Tao Shang's tone was already a little cold: "Tao is also a dignified prime minister, how can he do these things that are unclear to your Zhao family? If you let your sister-in-law
When you come to my place, what will I call you in the future? Brother-in-law?"
Zhao Fan seemed to understand a little bit.
He secretly murmured in his heart that this Tao man was indeed a high-ranking person and a face-saving guy.
If he really gets along with my sister-in-law, won't he become my equal in the future? He is a prime minister, and I am just a county guard. If he treats me as my brother-in-law, wouldn't he be losing money? In terms of status, it is indeed true.
Suffered a loss.
The more Zhao Fan thought about it, the more he felt that what he had figured out made sense.
He said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. If the Prime Minister feels that he is not senior enough and is afraid of humiliating himself, I also have an aunt who has been widowed for many years and is from my parents' generation. If she is allowed to come, the Prime Minister will not feel that he has lost his status."
Potter: "..."
…
Zhao Fan asked the pottery merchant to drive him away. The boy talked too much and the pottery merchant didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
Zhao Fan followed the order of the pottery merchant and returned to Guiyang, raised his troops and headed west to Lingling.
The pottery merchant will also dedicate a small force to support him.
As long as Zhao Fan divided his troops from Guiyang to help and capture Lingling, he could win back the victory. Then after the influence of the miasma on the three armies disappeared, Tao Shang planned to muster all his strength to attack Wuling.
Even if Pang Tong is extremely talented, he still can't create any new tricks.
…
A few days later, when Pang Tong was thinking about his next strategy in Qianling City, Lingling Prefect Liu Du hurriedly rushed in front of him.
"Pang Situ, something bad has happened!" Liu Du said to Pang Tong in a panic.
Pang Tong was currently worried about how to break into Tao Shang's camp. Hearing this, he frowned and looked at him and said, "What's the matter, making such a fuss?"
Liu Du frowned when he saw Pang Tong not panicking at all, and said: "Pang Situ, something big has happened. How can you still be in the mood to be so dazed here? No matter the time?"
"What's the big deal?" Pang Tong was very dissatisfied and had no respect at all. Why did you teach me a lesson?
Liu Du took a deep breath and said: "There is news from behind me that Zhao Fan of Guiyang suddenly raised troops and headed west to Lingling County. The county is empty. He has now captured Quanling City!"
As soon as Liu Du finished speaking, he saw Pang Tong tilt his body and almost fell to the ground.
"You, what did you say? Was Quanling City lost, or was it defeated by Zhao Fan of Guiyang?"
Liu Du nodded vigorously and said: "That's right. Zhao Fan used the road to support our army and used the Quanling road. As soon as Fang arrived at the city, he used the excuse to launch an attack and captured the Quanling city..."
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and finally sighed and said: "So, if nothing else happens, this hateful Zhao Fan should have secretly surrendered to the pottery merchants."
Liu Du stamped his feet anxiously: "Lingling was lost, and Zhao Fan also surrendered to the pottery merchants. Now in Jingnan, we are all trapped in Wuling County. Isn't this a big deal?"
Pang Tong was distracted by Liu Du's urging, and he also knew the importance of the matter at hand.
"In this case, you can lead your troops back to Lingling and find a way to recapture the city. I will defend Wuling and guard against being attacked by the enemy from two directions."
Liu Du wished he could slap Pang Tong on the ear.
"Zhao Fan's troops in Guiyang are similar to mine, and now he has captured the city of Lingling to use as a barrier. How can these troops of mine defeat the city?"
Pang Tong was also a little unreasonable: "Under the current situation, we must take back the southern city no matter what. Otherwise, Wuling will be attacked from both sides. We will have no danger to defend, and sooner or later we will lose the overall situation."
Speaking of this, Pang Tong added to Liu Du: "If you can't win the army all the way, I will ask Liu Pan to lead the army with you."
The Lingling Army was Liu Du's hometown, and now that Quanling, where he ruled, was lost, he was naturally anxious. Although Pang Tong's request was somewhat unreasonable, he could only comply with it.
The next day, Liu Du led his troops and horses to leave Qianling City and headed straight for Lingling.
After Liu Du left, Pang Tong was very anxious because of the loss of Lingling. He had a toothache and blistered mouth, and he always felt that he had made some omissions somewhere.
After thinking for half a day, Pang Tong suddenly understood where he had made a mistake!
Because I heard that Lingling was lost, I was so anxious that I divided my troops to capture the city. Wouldn't this be playing into the hands of Tao Shang and Zhuge Liang?
Careless, careless!
…
Liu Du and Liu Pan's soldiers and horses walked for half a day, and when they were about to arrive at the border of Lingling, they encountered an ambush.
The one who ambushed them was a group of elite soldiers personally selected by the pottery merchant, led by Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and other fierce generals.
Their goal is to completely annihilate this Jingzhou army.
"Kill!"
"kill!"
Following the shouts, the Jinling troops who had been secretly ambushing here on both sides of the road came out one after another and surrounded Liu Du and Liu Pan's troops.
Liu Du was a civil servant. When he saw this formation, he almost peed his pants in fear. As he drove his horse back into the circle, he shouted loudly: "How could this happen? How could this happen!"
Liu Pan glanced around fiercely and said: "We have fallen into a trap. These are the pottery merchants' soldiers and horses. They have already calculated that we will turn back to rescue Lingling... The three armies form an array! Don't panic! Meet the enemy!"
Compared to Liu Pan's bravery, Liu Du obviously had no backbone. While he ordered his soldiers to protect him, he shouted: "Where is Xing Daorong? Where is my Lingling general, General Xing?"
Following Liu Du's shout, a tall and round-armed man in armor rushed out from behind. He held a big mountain-cutting ax and said loudly: "Master, don't panic, we will kill all these Jinling dogs in the end."
!”
After saying that, he saw Xing Daorong rushing forward on his horse.
Xing Daorong is indeed a man of some courage. Compared with ordinary soldiers, he is like a god of war. He can swing a big ax with ease and neatness. He shows off his power in the Jinling army formation and is unparalleled.
But he soon met his enemy.
Ding Feng rode up to him.
When Xing Daorong saw Ding Feng blocking his way, he couldn't help but snorted: "Where did this wild boy come from and dare to block someone? He's looking for death!"
Ding Feng stretched out three fingers and said: "Three moves, within three moves, you will definitely be killed."
