After half a day, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da led thousands of troops to dispatch all of them.

They empty all the shops selling cloth in Langzhong, and even empty some workshops that make cloth. The white cloth they obtained was not enough for 3,000 people.

The two had no choice but to ask for help from local aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen.

Because the two were responsible for the procurement of the army, they had a good relationship with local aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen, they also secretly charged their benefits and deliberately purchased military supplies at high prices.

When the two encountered difficulties this time, they called the wealthy businessmen over and mobilized everyone to collect white cloth together.

Because the two of them were about to compete with Sun Quan, they were not afraid of shortage of military capital, and they just wanted to overcome the current difficulties.

In addition to threatening, they also used temptations to purchase all the cloth saved by major families at high prices, but it was only enough for half of them.

We were going to collect it in a nearby place, but it was too late and the two of us had no choice but to do anything.

After the two discussed quietly, they felt that they could only bite the bullet and go to the Central Army to plead with Zhang Fei.

With their status as both of them, they were still frightened after seeing Zhang Fei.

Seeing that Zhang Fei was in a good mood, Fan Jiang stood up and reported carefully:

"General Zhang, all the white cloth in Langzhong has been collected, but it is far from enough for the white flag and armor used by the 10,000 troops. It is difficult to raise all the white flags and armor for a while. The lord has no time to urge him to march. It is better to give the general two days to be graceful and I will send someone to other places to acquire it."

Zhang Fei also knew that it was difficult for them, but he did it on purpose.

Because he knew that the two of them were working together when purchasing grain and military funds, and they were able to fill their own pockets, and the amount was quite large, which aroused the jealousy of other colleagues.

There were many people coming to Zhang Fei to inform him, but because of the lack of evidence, Zhang Fei did not want to make the matter known to everyone, which affected the morale of the army and could not deal with the two of them.

Zhang Fei just wanted to take this opportunity to beat them up, and also to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and strictly enforce the military law!

So, Zhang Fei pretended to be angry and said:

"I'm in a hurry to take revenge and I wish I could kill Jiangdong tomorrow. How could I delay here? If you two don't go to do business, how can you be forgiven if you violate my general order?"

After saying that, Zhang Fei called his guards to tie the two of them to a tree, each of whom was whipping them fifty.

These two men got a lot of ill-gotten gains. These guards who executed the execution were very jealous. When they were whipping, they did not hold back, and they beat them up to scars and bleeding from their mouths.

After the whip, Zhang Fei pretended to be angry and shouted at the two of them:

"It will be complete in the future! If the deadline is violated, we will deal with you two according to military law!"

Zhang Fei seemed unreasonable, but in fact he had no intention of killing them.

Now it is the time to use people, and he can only curse the two of them for a few more words to make them guilty and make them meritorious.

But Fan Jiang and Zhang Da didn't think so, because they had agreed to Pan Jun to secretly surrender to Sun Quan and prepare to "rebel against the enemy at the last minute" and cooperate with Sun Quan's army to defeat and capture Zhang Fei.

Although Zhang Fei was quite strict in his military administration, he had never been so strict with his two old subordinates.

If it were not until the past, with Fan Jiang and Zhang Da's urinary nature, it would be nothing to be beaten to make Zhang Fei happy.

But now is the critical moment of their expedition to Jingzhou, and they have an ulterior motive. They are suspicious of being a dark ghost and are afraid of what they do, so they are discovered by Zhang Fei.

When the two returned to the camp, Fan Jiang said to Zhang Da:

"I was punished today, but there was nothing big. I'm afraid General Zhang would be suspicious of us. If we don't have enough white clothes and armor tomorrow, it will be inevitable that we will be beaten up even if we are not beheaded. The battle is about to go to war. If we put it in the past, we will stay to recuperate. But we have already agreed to secretly surrender to Sun Quan. If we cannot go to war with Zhang Fei and break our trust in Sun Quan, we will not only be unable to protect our lives, but will also affect the entire family."

Zhang Da also agreed. He didn't want to wait for death, so he said fiercely:

"Anyway, we can't survive anymore. Why don't we kill Zhang Fei first and escape to Jingzhou overnight. This can be considered as completing the task assigned to us by Sun Quan. Not only will the family interests be guaranteed, but we can also get Sun Quan's reward."

Fan Jiang remembered Zhang Fei's bravery and shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid I can't kill Zhang Fei! He is very skilled in martial arts, and it's hard for us to get close to you. As long as he wakes him up, even if he only uses one hand, he can easily kill both of us."

Zhang Da sighed:

"We will go to war tomorrow. Whether we are injured or killed, it means we will die! We can only bet on our lives. If we are killed, then Zhang Fei will not drink tonight, so he will naturally be unable to get close to him. If we are not killed, then he will fall drunk on the bed and let us slaughter!"

The two of them had no other choice. After discussing the matter, they had some dinner randomly and sat in the tent waiting for news about Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was in the tent and remembered that he would avenge his second brother immediately. He was in agitation and was inexplicably upset, so he asked his personal general:

"I was suddenly frightened and irritable today. What's the point?"

The general also saw his abnormality, which was similar to the situation when he first received the news of Guan Yu's murder, and replied very confidently:

"This is why the general misses Guan Gong so much."

Every time he feels irritable, Zhang Fei will drink to relieve his sorrows.

He immediately asked someone to cook and drink with his close friend.

Although he didn't drink much, because of his poor condition, Zhang Fei was drunk unconsciously and waved his hand to let the guards go out. He lay alone in the tent to rest.

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da received the news and had already been prepared for action.

At the first update, the two of them hid a short knife in their arms and secretly entered Zhang Fei's tent, saying that they wanted to report secret matters, and tricked the guards outside the account to the bedside.

Zhang Fei didn't sleep with his eyes. When Fan Jiang and Zhang Da entered the tent, he saw that he had to open his eyes and stood still. He wanted to turn around and couldn't take a step, let alone kill him.

After a long time, Zhang Fei did not move, and snore was like thunder, and the two of them dared to approach.

Zhang Da took out a short knife and plucked up his courage to stab Zhang Fei in the abdomen, but was stopped by Fan Jiang.

Fan Jiang was afraid that the short sword would not have enough lethality, so he couldn't kill Zhang Fei at once, so he woke Zhang Fei up, but was killed by Zhang Fei instead.

After Fan Jiang stopped Zhang Da, he reached out to pick up Zhang Fei's sword from the head of the bed, slowly pulled out Xueliang's blade and handed it to Zhang Da.

Zhang Fei’s sword is not simple, it has a lot of origin!

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei recovered the four counties in Jingnan, and then picked up a bargain from Zhou Yu, first entering Jiangling City. With Liu Qi's Jiangxia, there was a strong alliance outside and a farming service inside. Liu Bei had great ambitions to expand territory.

Because Cao Cao agreed to Zhang Fei, he had to grant Liu Bei the title of governor of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei submitted a letter to confer Zhang Fei as the Marquis of Xinting. Because Cao Cao owed Zhang Fei the promise that he could only ask Emperor Xian of Han to agree.
