Chapter 111 - Peace with the Founan
FN Camp. The scout entered the tent and reported: "Report ~!" Great King, the enemy commander Fan Li has personally come to our place, he wants to negotiate with us! " Hearing that, Pan Jin immediately asked: "Fan Li has personally come to negotiate? Strange! Right, how many people had he brought? Is there an army following them from behind? " The scout replied: "Reporting to the King, I am only here with his brother Fan Ju." "Just these two?" The scout replied seriously, "Exactly! It's just two people! "
After hearing all this, Pan Yue was overjoyed. He smiled sinisterly and said, "What a great fool you are! Heaven has a road, hell has no door, you barge in! Pass down the order, and select a terrifying and robust man to guard my tent. Also, assign some soldiers to guard against any attacks from Fan Li and the others who may try to escape! They want to set up a huge oil pot in my tent, and when Fan Li came in, he would throw the two of them into the oil pot without any explanation! Avenge our dead brothers! "
Fan Ju and I came to the front of the table. I saw a big frying pan standing in front of them, and in the tent, with the tiger and wolf weapons on either side of them, I knew I was going to kill myself and my brother.
"You bastard!" Pan Xi roared at the two of us, "You've caused the death of my huge army of a hundred thousand men and caused great damage to my army. My army of forty thousand men will be taken care of by you …" and I glared at each other and pinched our fingers together. Pan turned to the janissaries and shouted, "Men! Throw them into the frying pan! Avenge our fallen brothers! "
As soon as we finished talking, a dozen of tiger and wolf weapons rushed forward, wanting to capture me and Big Brother. I laughed out loud. "I originally thought that the Founan's King would be a hero, but I didn't expect that all the rumors about the hero to be spread outside today are all false! You have shamed the heroic names of your ancestors and Liu Ye! You are not fit to be their descendant! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Who would have thought that I would die at the hands of a fake hero like you! Fine! Fine! It's all my fault for thinking that you're a hero! "Even if I die, I won't feel wronged in the slightest!"
Hearing that, he felt weird when he saw Fan Ju and I did not have any trace of fear, so he stopped us: "Stop first! I just want to hear why you said I'm not a hero! What have I done to apologize to my ancestors! I don't believe that you can say anything! "
I looked him in the eye as he glared at me. I was in no hurry to defend myself. I then slowly said, "I will earn some money here for the soldiers of the Founan who were killed by the Establishment. What I am saying is that war is cruel, and there are inevitable casualties on both sides. Could it be that none of our soldiers died on the battlefield? They just gave up their peaceful lives to defend their country and come here to fight you. They are just like you. They have parents, wives, children, brothers, and sisters! And our army lost nearly five thousand brothers! They. "They …"
When I said this, Pan Yue still looked at me coldly. He did not feel guilty at all for the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Establishment, and I was extremely furious. I really wanted to charge forward and ruthlessly beat him up to let him know how much he had sacrificed in order to harm our brothers! But I can't do it now. If he continued to fight with the Founan, the number of people who would die would increase! Furthermore, my heart is filled with emotions from the heroes who sacrificed their lives for our country. Under all kinds of emotions, I was unable to continue on. Tears welled up in my eyes.
Still staring at me with a cold smile, as if he thought I was too afraid to speak!
After a while, I suppressed my sadness and anger and continued, "King, just think about it. Right now, we big men are in pieces. Not to mention invading your country! Take Jiao Prefecture's current situation for example! There are these powers in the Jiao Prefecture: Shi Xie, Zhang Jiao, our army, and the warriors who are fighting with each other. They all view each other as deadly enemies that won't coexist in the same place. Who would abandon a strong enemy and attack the alliance to make an enemy for themselves and to add a strong friend to the enemy? Isn't this the path of defeat? Who could be so stupid? Your Majesty, you didn't even think of this and you've made me think that we are going to annex your country and invade your borders. I naturally have no choice but to fight your Majesty for the sake of defending our land! If you start a war without knowing the truth and cause your life to be ruined, and you don't even have the courage to admit your mistakes, then wouldn't that disgrace your ancestors' reputation as a slut? What would that be? Could it be that I can still call you a hero?! "
As soon as he heard what I said, he looked at me and nodded thoughtfully. He sighed heavily and said, "Indeed! It was my fault for attacking the big man without trying to find out the truth! Many of our soldiers were killed in a war that should not have happened! Sigh! General Fan is right! " As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. He too felt that he had been too reckless in sending out the troops so easily!
I cupped my hands in front of me and said, "The King is indeed a hero of his generation — he can make mistakes. I believe that the Founan will become even more prosperous under the King's rule! Please forgive me for my presumptuousness, but I just want to ask one question — Who exactly said that we wanted to invade the Founan and destroy it? "
The situation replied: "Zhang Jiao sent someone to tell me this. His messenger even sent me a lot of treasures, and promised to split the Jiao Prefecture equally with me once the matter was settled!" I exclaimed, "Such a vicious plan!" He wants the King to kill me and Shi Xie, then he will send out an army to deal a heavy blow to the exhausted FN. After defeating the King's army, he can occupy the entire Jiao Prefecture! Furthermore, it is hard to say whether or not he will take the opportunity to attack the King's entire Founan! "
Hearing that, Pan Yue broke out in cold sweat, as he continuously nodded his head, "Very likely! That was very possible! This Zhang Jiao! How hateful! If it wasn't for General Fan's reminder today, Zhang Jiao's evil scheme would have succeeded! General Fan being able to face danger alone at such a young age without batting an eyelid, he was truly a hero! "I'm willing to be sworn brothers with General Fan, I wonder if General Fan is willing?"
After I heard the news, I was stunned. But I quickly recovered and said, "The King is the ruler of a country, but I am just a of a country. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the King's level!" Pan Xi laughed out loud and said, "Haha! We Conan people don't have as many rules as you Chinese. What kind of people of this level want to be brothers with people of this level? What's the right thing for a man and a woman to marry? We never use that! Could it be that you find me too old to be my sworn brother? "
I hastily replied, "I don't dare!" I dare not! If the King wants to become sworn brothers with me, that is exactly what I want! " Laughing at the news, he came down and took my hand and said, "That's good! "Prepare the dishes!"
The subordinate of the Southern King placed two bowls of water on the table. I rolled up my sleeve and pulled out my dagger. After seeing my actions, Pan Guan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I didn't expect that little brother would actually know the customs here!" I smiled and said, "How could I not know? "Big brother!" We smiled at each other, then put blood on the bowl on our wrists and drank it down in one gulp.
Clasping my hands tightly, he laughed heartily and said, "My good brother! You will be my brother in the future! " I also laughed, "Big brother Pan Xi, not only you and I are good brothers, even the citizens of Founan and us big men are good friends!"
He looked at me and laughed. "Good!" he said happily. Little brother is right! Did you hear that!? The Chinese are brothers with us, the Conan! The Founan and the big sized man are both friendly nations just like our own ancestors! " "The Chinese and the people of Founan are brothers." The voice echoed in the tent for a long time. All the people from Fennan City started to cheer, "That's great! "Great!" They were all very happy that the war was over and they were able to return home.
I said, "Big brother, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if it's possible?" The director smiled and said, "Alright! If you have something to say, just say it! " I said, "I want big brother to pretend that your army is attacking Shi Xie, so that Shi Xie will not dare to attack our army, and from then on, let our army return to Yu Lin." The manager replied with a smile, "Alright! No problem! I will definitely help you! That's right! Little brother, I will hold a banquet to entertain you, you better not leave! " I smiled and said, "Okay! "Not leaving until you're drunk!"
After being drunk and fed, Fan Ju and I returned to our own camp. I didn't immediately go to rest, but instead went to look for Chu Yan. I said to Chu Yan, "General Chu, are you still grieving over the death of the General Zhang?" Chu Yan sighed and said, "My lord, you don't have to say anymore. I understand what you mean! Attacking the Founan for a personal grudge was not good for the country! My lord, let's not talk about this anymore! This subordinate understands! Oh right, my lord! From now on, I am no longer Chu Yan, my name is Zhang Yan! I, Zhang Yan, will forever be your most loyal subject! "
I looked at him. Chu Yan looked at me closely. I knew that Chu Yan had changed her surname to Zhang in memory of Zhang Niu, so I didn't go against her wishes. Thus, I changed my mind and said, "General Zhang Yan!" Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.
His FN was currently using a fake attack on Shi Xie, causing him to be cautious and not dare to rashly attack his Establishment. However, Shi Xie had actually sent people to all over the Establishment to spread the news that Chen Zhi was betraying the three counties of Yu Lin, causing the entire Establishment to lose focus.
I looked at the leaflets and tore them into pieces. I stepped on the piece of paper and said bitterly, "I don't believe that second brother would betray me! I definitely won't believe it! " Zhang Tie said, "I don't believe it either! I think this is definitely Shi Xie's plan. Fourth brother, we can't be fooled! " On the other hand, Fan Ju said: "Brother, why don't we quickly return to Yu Lin County and find out?" Li Xiong also said, "That's right! No matter what, we have to quickly rush back to Yu Lin! Throw away the things you should throw away! All of the soldiers must rush back to Yu Lin quickly! "
"Alright!" I turned around and said to the messenger, "You send my order, the entire army, light weapons, return to Yu Lin, do you understand?" Yes! "My lord!" The messenger passed on my orders.
Just like this, I led the army and rushed back to Ankang County.
On the other hand, Shi Xie smiled proudly and said: "I expected that Fan Li's army would definitely be annihilated by Chen Zhi's men this time, I never thought that Jiang Ren brat would actually think of such a brilliant plan! Haha! I, I, you, you, just wait for death! I will bring forth the army to avenge you after you have been annihilated by your own best brother! Kill Chen Zhi! "Haha!"
… ….
"Report ~ ~!" "My lord, there are a large number of soldiers guarding in front of us. Our vanguard troops are unable to make it through!" The messenger immediately reported when he arrived in front of me. Hearing that, I was shocked, and asked, "Isn't the mountain pass ahead guarded by the Establishment? This, this can't be … " Li Xiong said. "Why don't we take a shortcut back to Ankang County from the mountain path!" At this time, my mind was really in a mess, I was in a daze, and could only agree to Li Xiong's suggestion.
Establishment was walking on the mountain path back to Ankang County. Zhang Yan looked around, "What a dangerous place! If someone were to set up an ambush here, our great army would suffer a great loss here! " I was a little frightened in my heart. "I know that if someone were to set up an ambush here, we would be completely annihilated. However, this place is guarded by our troops!" There shouldn't be an ambush! "
Just as I finished speaking, the shout suddenly stopped. The flags were raised one by one, and countless soldiers appeared on the mountaintop while shouting. A great general appeared and shouted, "You bandit troops have fallen into my trap! Just you wait! Kill! "Kill them all!"
Because that voice was just too familiar,, Zhang Tie, and I looked over there and couldn't help but cry out, "Second Brother!" "Second brother!" "Second Brother!" When I cried out, I nearly fainted...
That great general was none other than Chen Zhi himself. He was commanding his men to completely annihilate the Establishment who no longer had a way out …
