Chapter 18: Imprisonment Barracks
Liu Fan shouted and spread directly in the central army's tent, making everyone around him know that this wave of people was the emperor's envoy from Chang'an City.
In the camp, Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other and quickly stood up to greet them. They actually didn't know that Liu Fan and others came over because Liu Fan stopped Pang De's behavior of sending people to report.
He quickly arrived at the entrance of the camp, Ma Teng swept around several people in front of him, and then turned his attention to Pang De.
At this moment, Pang De had to introduce awkwardly: "General, this is the two envoys of the emperor, Liu Fan, the Left General, and Liu Dan, the Censor of the Book of Documents."
At this time, Liu Dan also followed Liu Fan with his head held high and his chest held high, looking arrogant and did not take Ma Teng and others seriously at all.
His eyes frowned slightly, Ma Teng looked solemn, bowed to Liu Fan, and asked, "Where are you, General Liu Zhonglang, Ma Shizhong and Governor Zhong?"
After hearing Ma Teng's question, Liu Fan's face suddenly became sad, and he lowered his head and murmured with sadness: "After leaving Chang'an, we were caught up by Li Jue's pursuers, and fierce battle broke out in the middle of the way. The Right Central Army General Du Bing died in battle, and Ma Shizhong and Governor Zhong were captured. Alas!"
A sad sigh, countless bitterness.
Seeing this, Ma Teng also looked sad and sighed. The war had not yet begun. Unexpectedly, one person had already died in battle and two were captured. Han Sui beside him had a serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Dare you dare to be a entourage, what secret edict is your Majesty?"
The corners of his eyes shrank, and Liu Fan still looked sad and said angrily: "The imperial edict was taken away by Ma Shizhong, but they took it away. I was so enemies that I could only give up!"
"Oh! It's a pity!" Hearing this, Ma Teng showed regret and a little melancholy.
On the other hand, Han Sui looked at everyone with a more serious expression and then asked: "Then General Liu Zhonglang had contacted the Yizhou Mu to send troops to the rescue. Now he has a reply? If the soldiers need to be answered, Wan Wang said in time that we can prepare."
"Yes!" At that moment, Ma Teng also agreed, "I heard from the Minister Ma that General Liu Zhonglang had borrowed five thousand old soldiers from Liu Yizhou, and the elite old soldiers were elite. If he could come, he would help our army with a big arm."
With a serious face, Liu Fan replied sadly: "I had a lot of connection with Yizhou before, but I broke out from Chang'an these few days, and in a hurry and chaos, I don't know if my father's soldiers had been sent."
When they looked at each other, they all saw joy in each other's eyes. At that moment, Ma Teng hurriedly said: "There is no hurry to do this. General Liu Zhonglang can rest in the camp for a few days first. We will send people to contact Yizhou again. If any soldiers come to help, they can be used as surprise soldiers!"
Ma Teng was very polite, and Liu Fan didn't reject anything at the moment, but just nodded silently to agree. So, after the two sides briefly talked about something, Ma Teng asked Pang De to lead Liu Fan and others to rest.
As for Pang De, he was actually a little reluctant to speak in the end, but Liu Fan asked the generals of the Western Expedition to send good generals to guard him because he was worried that he would not have the chance to monitor him and immediately sent Pang De there.
As Ma Teng and others stopped caring about them, Liu Fan and others also received some supplies and time supplements.
Liu Fan's temporary tent
With his right fist and hammered his left palm, Liu Dan kept walking back and forth. After a long time, he stopped and looked at Liu Fan with anxiety, "Brother, Ma Shoucheng obviously wants to imprison us. Can we have to surrender?"
While wiping the sword in his hand silently, Liu Fan looked up at Liu Dan, and without saying a word, he continued to wipe it.
"I don't understand. You were angrily scolding Pang Lingming before, who was round and round, and he was very powerful. Why did you become so weak after entering the military camp!"
"Liu Shaojun, General Liu should have his own ideas, don't be anxious!" Seeing this, Xu Huang, who had been sitting upright on the side of the case, spoke up and persuaded Liu Dan.
"What do Gongming thinks of Pang Lingming?" Seeing Xu Huang speak, Liu Fan suddenly asked Pang De.
With a brief thought, Xu Huang said intently: "This person can bend and stretch. It can be seen from the fact that he is more cunning than Ma Shoucheng. As for the battle on the battlefield, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so it is difficult to comment, but I think it should be right."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Liu Fan was also quite interested and said, "Who is the most difficult among the coalition forces?"
"Han Sui!" His face was solemn, and Xu Huang responded decisively, "Han Sui is a man with a good mind and can grasp the key points when it comes to things. From the few questions he had with the General of the Central Army, it can be seen that he just treats General of the Central Army as a person who can be used!"
"Yes, brother, haven't you seen that he just wanted to use the old soldiers whom his father promised?" At that moment, Liu Dan also looked at Liu Fan anxiously, wanting to remind him of the seriousness of the whole matter.
Looking at Liu Dan unexpectedly, Liu Fan didn't expect that this younger brother was not very stupid.
Still a faint smile on his face, Liu Fan Youyou responded to Liu Dan and said, "I not only saw that he wanted to use the five thousand Yizhou soldiers whom his father helped, but I also saw that he even wanted to use me." As he said, a smile appeared on Liu Fan's lips, "I am still willing to cooperate with his use."
Looking at Xu Huang, Liu Fan smiled again and said, "As for why he suddenly became gentle after entering the camp, it is because we are not as strong as others. Instead of being taught a lesson by them and then bowing our heads obediently, it is better to show weakness now. When they suddenly attack you when they unexpectedly, it will be easier to get out."
"Oh!" At that moment, Liu Dan sighed helplessly, sat on the wooden steps of Liu Fan's position, and complained sadly: "I never thought that he had just emerged from Chang'an City and became a prisoner of Ma Tengjun again."
Looking at Liu Dan who was sighing in a serious way, Liu Fan was speechless at the moment. Shouldn’t this sentence be my sigh?
"The reason why General Zhonglang angrily scolded Pang De outside the military camp was because?" Xu Huang looked solemn, and Xu Huang felt that everything Liu Fan did would not be aimless.
A smile appeared on his face again. Liu Fan looked at Xu Huang. He had to sigh that the intuition between the generals was so sharp. I am afraid that Xu Huang had already realized that he had the intention of suppressing Pang De and closing it.
At this moment, Liu Fan did not shy away and said with a smile: "Pang Lingming, just by looking at it, he knew that he was unruly and was born in Xiliang without restraint. If he did not intimidate him with the general trend, it would be difficult to communicate normally."
"And only if he is in awe," Liu Fan smiled faintly again, "Only Han Wenyue thought I was just a noble family with a noble family!"
After saying a word, Xu Huang's eyebrows raised slightly and he felt like he was thinking.
Just as Xu Huang and Liu Fan had just finished communicating in the big tent, Pang De's full voice came from outside the tent, "General Liu Zhonglang, Guo Si, Fan Chou invites the battle in front of the battle today, General Han invites you to fight together!"
