Chapter 42: Counting
When Liu Fan said he wanted to take revenge, Liu Dan and Sun Zhao were both stunned.
Sun Zhao's mission was to pick up Liu Fan and assist him in attacking Chang'an. If it didn't work, he would escort him all the way back to Shuzhong. So he was quite surprised when Liu Fan suddenly said he wanted to go back to kill someone.
Liu Dan didn't understand, he really didn't understand. When he learned that Fa Zheng's relatives and friends were intercepted, he rushed over to fight the bandits to death without hesitation, which was considered to be the ultimate righteousness.
The situation in Guanzhong is now very chaotic, and they may have become the existence that Li Ru and Han Sui are afraid of. If they turn back, the situation will be much more dangerous.
He hurried forward and grabbed Liu Fan. Liu Dan widened his eyes, "Brother, you can't go! You can take revenge at any time. When I return to Shuzhong to rectify the troops, the same will happen when I come back!"
Looking at Liu Dan silently, Liu Fan sighed in his heart. After all, he was too naive. He really thought that he could naturally inherit the position of governor of the state by returning to Yizhou. Without foundation and support, how could Liu Fan become the lord of Yizhou?
Even if he becomes the lord of Yizhou, he will probably be a weak and incompetent puppet in the future.
Therefore, before returning to Yizhou, he had to consolidate his team with himself as the core. Now in his team, there are already military generals like Xu Huang and Pang De, but the strategist like Fa Zheng did not sincerely submit.
The support of the strategist is not like a military general. If you want to truly subdue a wise man, if you do not have strong beliefs to encourage him, you must have enough sincerity to move him.
The reason why Cao Cao was able to gather so many advisers was because he had the form of restoring the Han Dynasty; and even though Liu Bei had always advocated that he wanted to support the Han Dynasty, he was still moved by the three visits to Zhuge Liang when he recruited Zhuge Liang.
And Liu Bochang can not give Fa Zheng much now. If he wants to follow him to do something that is enemies with the world, he must do a kind of grace that will be unforgettable to him and tie up a circle to repay him.
So, Liu Fan had to choose to give it a try.
First, he wants to give Fa Zheng a kindness that he can never refuse; second, he wants to let the people of the world know that no one who dares to constantly provoke him Liu Fan will end up without a good ending!
"I have my own concerns about this matter, and I am just looking for opportunities. If I really can't do it, I will also return it!" He comforted Liu Dan, and said this sentence to Fa Zheng. After all, Liu Fan wanted to leave a way out for himself.
He knew that killing Li Ru on this trip was not a simple matter. If he couldn't succeed, he would have to take his life randomly.
Before Liu Dan could say anything, Liu Fan had already looked at Sun Zhao, "Three days later, if I don't come back, you will escort him immediately, Zhongxuan and everyone will return to Shuzhong."
"Brother, I want to go with you!"
Taking Liu Dan's hand away, Liu Fan looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, when did I suffer any loss with your brother? Remember, your mission, Yizhou, after following me these days, you should have learned a lot, Yizhou needs you!"
After saying that, Liu Fan turned over and shouted loudly. "Go!"
Then, Xu Huang and Pang De quickly turned around and followed the mountain. This time, Liu Fan did not bring other people with him. It would be difficult to move if there were too many people. With Xu Huang and Pang De guards, even if he could not attack Li Ru, he should be able to escape unscathed.
Standing in place in a daze, looking at Liu Fan who was gradually moving away, Liu Dan was silent for a long time. He was thinking about the meaning of Liu Fan's words just now. And it was also thinking. The more he compared it, the more he realized that it was really hard to compare with his brother.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Dan thought for a long time, but in the end, he turned around and came to Fazheng. At this time, Fazheng also stared at Liu Fan's direction away and was silent alone.
"Xiaozhi, you are a smart person, so I won't go around the circle. I probably can see that now. My brother has already worked hard for you!"
After being silent for a long time, Fa Zheng was a little confused and murmured softly, "Maybe Fa Zheng is not worthy of his doing this."
"He has done it whether it is worth it or not!" Taking a deep breath again, Liu Dan didn't know what drove him, "I want to know if you have any other way to help your brother indirectly!"
The sad posture slightly converged, and the momentum of Fa Zheng's body began to change faintly. After a long time, a wise light gathered in Fa Zheng's eyes and whispered softly, "Zhong Xuan's words woke up the dreamer, maybe I can do something!"
Looking up at the north again, Fazheng's expression was completely renewed.
After Liu Fan led Xu and Pang to leave Xiegu Pass, they headed all the way to the eastern part of Ji County. On the way, Liu Fan also changed into the Feixiong Army armor pulled out of the Feixiong Army captives and dressed up as them.
Following Liu Fan, Xu Huang felt a little uncomfortable, "General Zhonglang, how should we get into Guo Si's camp?"
After pondering silently for a long time, Liu Fan glanced at Pang De meaningfully and said quietly: "This matter depends on Ling Ming!"
At this moment, Pang De also trembled gently, feeling something was wrong.

Outside the town of Mei County, Guo Sijun Camp
Guo Si has been besieging Meimei County for a whole day. Although he has been constantly attacking Meimei County during this day, he was finally killed by Ma Chao in the city with an extremely brave attitude.
However, many siege battles were not without benefits. At this moment, the Xiliang army in Mei County was less than a thousand, and they were all injured. Guo Si believed that as long as he attacked a few more times, he would definitely be able to break through Mei County.
Although Fan Chou had already received orders from the west to request reinforcements, Guo Si still felt that capturing Ji County was the top priority, so he ignored him.
Just as Guo Si was planning to attack Mei County after a while, a guard suddenly reported outside the tent that a personal guard from Ma Chao from Mei County came to surrender, hoping to cooperate inside and outside, and give up the city of Mei County.
When Guo Si learned about this, he was also stunned and immediately asked someone to bring him in.
Looking at the familiar entourage of Ma Chao in front of him, Guo Si vaguely remembered that he must have seen him in Ma Tengjun's military camp, "Who are you? Why are you here this time?"
"Report to the general, I am the Sima of Ma Chao's army. I have followed him to resist the general's attack on the city for many days. Now I can't stand it anymore. I sneaked over and surrendered to the general. I promised to open the city gate tonight and let the general enter the city!"
"Oh?" Suspicion appeared on his face, and Guo Si looked at the visitor, "What are your plans? Let's talk to me in detail?"
Then the man who claimed to be Sima of Ma Chao's army told Guo Si about his plans, and Guo Si made the decision on the spot and followed his agreement. Finally, under the traction of Guo Si's official Xu Jue, the Sima of the army was taken out of the military camp.
But when he left, Guo Si, who was sitting alone in the camp, sneered, as if he had already made plans in his mind.
