"Fan Zhou, if you are still drunk, I can use the sword in my hand to sober you up."

A kick hit his thigh, and the severe pain allowed Fan Zhou to see clearly the situation in front of him.

"You guys? Lu Xun?"

When he was in Jiangling, he met Lu Xun once. At that time, he remembered Lu Xun's appearance in his heart, hoping that when he attacked Jiangdong in the future, Lu Xun's head would be used as a meritorious service for his promotion.

Even though Lu Xun's face was covered in blood at this moment, Fan Zhou could see it at a glance.

"You do recognize me."

Lu Xun smiled softly and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now you have become a prisoner. Do you want to surrender?"

drop?

Fan Zhou spat and sprayed it directly on Lu Xun's feet.

"Jiangdong rats, are you qualified to ask me, Fan Zhou, to surrender?"

The smile on Lu Xun's face disappeared bit by bit, and a murderous look flashed on his stern face.

He snorted coldly and said: "If you don't surrender, you will die. Is it possible that you really want to die for Mr. Liu?"

Martyrdom for His Highness?

Fan Zhou saw the bloody sword on Lu Xun's hand and swallowed slightly. His Highness did not show any kindness to him, so why did he have to die?

If you can live, you must live.

But surrender to Kodong?

It would be better to just die!

"I don't want to die for His Highness, but if you want me to surrender, that is absolutely impossible."

"That's fine."

Lu Xun didn't have much time to spend on Fan Zhou.

There are still many things he has to do tonight.

"Since you want to die, I will make it happen for you."

The sword in Lu Xun's hand flew up and he was about to stab Fan Zhou in the heart.

Do you really want to kill me?

Fan Zhou was shocked and said quickly: "I am willing to surrender!"

Surrender in order to survive, no shame!

Moreover

Who said I surrendered? I was just pretending to surrender. Even if I betrayed you at the critical moment, I might not be able to achieve great success.

"You know the truth."

Lu Xun smiled softly and said, "But I have to show you the certificate of surrender before I can believe you."

Certificate of application?

Fan Zhou felt a thump in his heart, and secretly screamed that something was wrong.

"Pull him up!"

The person being pulled up at this moment was the magistrate of Zhouling County appointed by Liu Chan.

"Fan Zhou, if you kill him, I will believe that you sincerely surrender to me, Jiangdong."

Gulu~

Fan Zhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his expression a little dull.

"Why? Not willing? Haha, then I'll let him kill you. Anyway, either of you two can surrender, but only one of you will survive."

Only one person can live?

Fan Zhou's face turned fierce, and he immediately said: "I am willing to surrender, and I am willing to kill him!"

When the magistrate of Zhouling County heard this, he immediately glared angrily and cursed: "Thief, you are a person who is afraid of death, you are a wolf-hearted person, you have betrayed His Highness's trust, and I am a slave with the second surname, you will not die well!"

Being scolded by the Zhouling County Magistrate, Fan Zhou also became angry.

Who told His Highness not to take me to Nanyang?

If His Highness had allowed me to accompany you, how would I have ended up like today?

Jiangdong's soldiers untied Fan Zhou, and he immediately took a ring-headed knife and stabbed it into the chest of the Zhouling County magistrate with a fierce look in his eyes.

Blood spurted out from the Zhouling County Magistrate's chest and covered Fan Zhou.

Your Highness, if you don't take me to Nanyang, and if you, military advisor, don't let me go to Nanyang and insist on keeping me in Zhouling, then what can I do if I become a traitor?

With his body covered in blood, Fan Zhou also became ruthless.

"very good."

Fan Zhou's cruelty made Lu Xun nodded slightly.

Now that Fan Zhou has blood on his hands, even if he goes back to Jingzhou, his end will not be much better.

Even if he can survive, his political future is gone.

His only way out now is in Jiangdong.

"Your Excellency, do you believe that I am loyal?"

It is ironic for a traitor to say he is loyal at this time.

Lu Xun smiled slightly and said: "I know your loyalty. Time waits for no one. I also ask the general to cooperate more tonight. You are not valued by Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong in Jingzhou. When you come to Jiangdong, if you can make meritorious service tonight,

I will go to my lord to tell you my merits, and I will grant you the title of marquis and general, no matter what!"

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Fan Zhou also felt a little hopeful in his eyes.

"Okay, tonight, Boyan, if you ask me to go west, I will never go east."

"good."

With Fan Zhou as my inner support, I think the next thing will be much simpler.

"It's just. Will Wuling be defeated?"

Wuling?

This actually stopped Lu Xun.

But when he thought of Fan Zhou's official position, he immediately understood.

This guy is worried about his family.

"Don't worry, if Jiangling is destroyed, Wuling will be in my Jiangdong urn."

From Nanzhong to Wuling, there are rugged trails.

It is difficult to quickly transfer soldiers and baggage. By then, a pass will be set up on the main road to block the enemy in the south.

As long as Jiangling moves, the battle situation will immediately tilt toward his Jiangdong side!

"That's it, I understand."

Immediately, Lu Xun asked Fan Zhou to lead the troops and go clear the beacon towers along the river.

If the beacon towers arranged along the river by Liu Gongsi, the King of Hanzhong, were to march, the news would probably reach Jiangling immediately.

And if Jiangling is prepared, let alone capturing Jiangling City, it will not be easy to reach the gate of Jiangling City.

Fan Zhou took the order and went to clean up the Jingzhou soldiers at the beacon tower along the river.

Late at night until dawn.

The beacon towers from Zhouling to Huarong had already been cleared by Fan Zhou.

As for the way to clean it, it is also very simple.

Fan Zhou led his troops in. He was the general guarding the east side of Jiangling, and all the guards in the beacon tower knew him. As soon as they entered the beacon tower, Fan Zhou killed all the defenders in the beacon tower.

After a whole night of killing, the last thought of rebellion in Fan Zhou's heart was also killed.

With his hands stained with the blood of his colleagues, Fan Zhou had no way out.

No way.

What a shame!

The south bank of the river.

Yunmengze's secret place.

A simple Jiangdong camp stood among them.

Yunmengze was densely packed with boats, and the tents in the camp were as far as the eye could see.

Inside the military tent in the camp.
