What is somewhat unexpected is that Liu Fan almost disappeared... He did not fight back, did not cross Fushui to the north to find Yan Yan, and did not appear in Chengdu to the west, but simply disappeared.

After a full seven or eight days, when Yan Yan was completely exhausted and Xu Shu was completely at ease in Mianzhu, news finally came from Liu Fan... It was a group of Pang Xibu soldiers who took the initiative to return to Mianzhu.

News is coming.

These people were also Dongzhou scholars, their families grew up near Mianzhu, and they were unwilling to follow Liu Fan and Pang Xi to Qianwei to look for Zhao Wei.

Liu Fan went to look for Zhao Wei, which did not surprise many people, because the location of Mianzhu was too important and had to be recaptured as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Yan army entered the hinterland of Shu, everything would stop. So when Liu Fan discovered that Dongzhou Shi

After the rebellion and Mianzhu changed hands, they had no choice but to mobilize troops in Chengdu, Fushui Pass and Qianwei. It was just a matter of choosing one of the three.

Among them, although Chengdu has a large population, it has always been the foundation of Shu's local power. Liu Fan has no foundation there. If he really went there, by the time he gathered his troops, the day lily would be cold... In fact,

The only ones who really had ready-made armies at this time were the Yan Yan tribe in Fushui and the Zhao Yu tribe in Jianwei who were besieging Yang Hong.

There are differences between the two:

First, compared to Yan Yan, Zhao Wei faced much less pressure. The Fushui Pass where Yan Yan was located was an area of ​​​​one county, which could not be turned around at all, and he was faced with the main force of the Yan army, which had an absolute advantage of tens of thousands.

, once the troops are mobilized to turn back, if it fails, then the defense of Shu Road will naturally collapse, and everything will be at a standstill. Zhao Wei is attacking and surrounding the Yanghong district city, and the surrounding Jianwei and Shu counties.

The vassal state of Shu County, Ba County, and even several counties in Nanzhong have huge strategic space and strategic initiative;

Secondly, when the Dongzhoushi rebelled, Zhao Wei, as the largest leader of the Dongzhoushi, had greater appeal and influence on the rebels than Yan Yan;

Thirdly, Zhao Wei also had more troops than Yan Yan, because before the war started, Zhao Wei was the prefect of Shu County, and Yan Yan was the prefect of Ba County. Zhao Wei himself was the original general of the Shu army on the front line, but he was absent.

Because of Yang Hong's troubles, he led the army of Shu County to go south first, and Yan Yan was forced to go up here as a last resort;

Fourth, Zhao Wei has a closer relationship with Liu Yan and has a higher political status in Shu. He was the Taicang Order of the Han Dynasty long before Liu Yan entered Shu, and has basically always been Liu Yan's trusted second-in-command.

In fact, Pang Xi also used these principles to persuade Liu Fan.

Calculating the time, Liu Fan and his party, who bypassed Mianzhu on the mountain road and then took the small road along the Jianshui River, quickly headed south to Han'an (the site of Yang Hong's rebellion, later known as Neijiang), were about to arrive at Zhao Wei's military camp at this time.

After the news was confirmed, all the civil and military officials in Mianzhu City were panicked, but Xu Shu was completely relieved and even went to visit Liu Yan.

On this day, in the afternoon, thirty miles north of Han'an City, in a canyon, a group of three to five hundred people had just emerged from the jungle, and then they were suddenly dizzy by the scorching sun here.

It was swollen, but it was Liu Fan and his party who were in such a state of embarrassment.

"Liu Fujun." A primary school leader with a local accent was panting. He couldn't help wiping the sweat on his face, and then he said. "The weather is hot, and it is impossible to go to the military camp today. Why don't you camp here for a while?"

, I’ll contact the military camp again, it’s best to send more carriages and horses to pick you up tomorrow.”

Liu Fan Benn went to see Pang Xi, but the latter understood, so he gritted his teeth and stood up: "I will go with you to see Duke Zhao!"

The principal didn't take it seriously, and immediately the two of them rode south together regardless of the heat.

There was nothing going on in the middle of the night, with frogs croaking and cicadas constantly chirping. Liu Fan, the governor of Guanghan, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, not because of the noise in his ears, but because he was extremely depressed... He regretted for a moment that he had been so stupid that he fell into the trap and left the city.

I regret that I didn’t grit my teeth and rush back to the city to take charge of the situation that night, and I also regret that I didn’t raise troops to attack the city the next morning... In short, as a filial son, when his father’s life and death are unknown at the moment, he does not live with his father.

Death, there are always ten thousand reasons to criticize myself for being cowardly these days.

Of course, Liu Fan also has some kind of rationality. He knows the truth behind Pang Xi's words. Since the rebels can control the entire city in one night, it must be that all the people in Dongzhou are rebelling. In this case, no one except Zhao Wei can

Calmly deal with this situation. Compared with Zhao Hao's side, Yan Yan's side is actually somewhat different in all aspects.

It was under such intense thoughts that Liu Fan finally managed to fall asleep, and then he immediately dreamed of the days when he followed his father to live in seclusion in Yangcheng Mountain when he was young... Although life was poor at that time, although the father and son did not live together.

I don’t have any title, but I can still live an open life. How did I get to this point?

Is it because my father had the urge to cross the border that he shouldn't have? The more than a thousand cars are proof of that.

However, as a filial son, even in a dream, he would instinctively object to this behavior of throwing responsibility to his biological father... It must be that his son is too incompetent! If he had the ability of Yan Gong, he would only be in Shu.

The business has been running like an iron bucket a year ago, and it is unlikely that I will be able to fulfill my father's wish during his lifetime!

At dawn the next day, before Pang Xi came to greet him, Liu Fan, who was anxious, urged his entourage to leave as soon as possible before the summer heat came... Although everyone was tired, they knew that this was the right time to go, so they had no complaints.

What's more, after walking only a few miles, when we were about to emerge from the canyon, we saw a large army of horses and flags standing at the mouth of the canyon.

Liu Fan was overjoyed when he saw this. He steeled himself and reined up his horse and stepped forward. When he was dozens of steps away, he saw that the other party was motionless. However, he felt strange for a moment and couldn't help but ask as he walked:

"Where is General Pang Zhonglang? Why don't you come to see me? Where is Lord Zhao? Why don't you come to see me?"

The officers on the opposite side looked at each other without saying anything, but as one of them pouted slightly, a horse rushed out from behind. It turned out to be the primary school leader who led the way yesterday. When he came to the front of the formation, he immediately answered:

"Pang Xi is here!"

After saying this, the man took out an object from behind his horse, threw it with all his strength, and then hurried back to the formation.

Liu Fan lowered his head and looked down, almost feeling cold all over. It turned out that this thing was actually Pang Xi's head!

In the blink of an eye, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu, who had experienced the capital move, suddenly became clear-headed. The reason why Zhao Wei was used was because of his own father Liu Yan. Now that Liu Yan's life and death were unknown, why should he come?

Summon Zhao Wei?

If things don't work out, there will be a dead end; even if things work out, sooner or later I will have to replace Zhao Wei with Pang Xi... Zhao Wei wouldn't want to serve a mere prefect of Guanghan who has lost Guanghan, right?

It turns out that without my father, I am nothing!

Although the thought was complicated, it flashed through his mind in just a moment. At the same time, Liu Fan had already instinctively turned around and tried to escape.

However, how could Zhao Weijun, who was well prepared, let him go?

Following the order from behind, thousands of arrows were fired, and the dignified heir to Yizhou died under the random arrows of the soldiers and horses of Shu County.

I don’t know if he will ever be able to think of the time on Yangcheng Mountain again in his life and death.

I am the dividing line where only one son died

"Xu Yuanzhi decided to set up Mianzhu, and searched everywhere for Liu Fan, but he did not come. He was worried that his general would lead his troops back, so he focused on the defense of the city. He did not dare to be slow for a moment. When Fan's soldiers died and returned to Mianzhu, he told General Fan to go to Qianwei and Zhao Wei's army, because Wei's soldiers were many.

, the whole city was shocked, but Xu Yuanzhi was relieved, and went to pay homage to Liu Yan, offering humble words to express his condolences. Unexpectedly, his son was looking for Zhao Wei.

Zhao Weiguo killed Liu Fan and took control of Jianwei, so that Shu County could become independent." Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Chapter on Sadness and Death.
