Chapter 330
"Please, My Lord, surrender to Lord Liu Xuande."
Zhao Fan slapped the table in anger.
"Shut up! I can't believe you can say that! I treated you so well on a daily basis, and now you actually want to rebel against me!"
Zhao Fan stood up and sprayed in anger,
"I just won't surrender, what can that Liu Bei do to me!"
Chen Ying and Bao Long looked at each other, fierce light in their eyes.
"My Lord, don't risk the lives of the hundred thousand households of Guiyang."
Zhao Fan's heart skipped a beat; if he didn't surrender, he was afraid these two would rebel against him...
His advisor saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said,
"Generals, don't be angry."
"My Lord, what the generals said is for your own good, and also for the good of Guiyang."
Zhao Fan looked at him and understood; he knew that public anger could not be offended.
Zhao Fan waved his hand.
"Fine, I will follow your wishes!"
After Chen Ying and Bao Long left in high spirits,
Zhao Fan discussed with his advisor,
"These ungrateful wolves, I treated them so well before!"
The advisor cupped his hands.
"My Lord, Liu Bei is valiant and good at fighting; he can only be taken by strategy, not by hard fighting."
"How to take him by strategy?"
"My Lord, pretend to surrender, welcome Liu Bei into the city, and when he relaxes his vigilance, raise your troops to launch a surprise attack and kill him!"
Zhao Fan frowned.
"Liu Bei is very cunning; it's hard to make him relax his vigilance."
The advisor smiled insidiously.
"My Lord, this Liu Bei is good at everything, but he cannot escape the hurdle of beauty. In Jiangbei there are the two Qiaos, in Hebei there are Fan and Zhen. In the Central Plains there is the beauty Feng, and Miss Diao Chan is the most wonderful."
"Liu Bei has already obtained five of them, and he is just missing Lady Fan."
Zhao Fan's brows furrowed even more; he also drooled over his widowed sister-in-law, Lady Fan, who had beauty that could topple a country.
Especially since he knew the inside story,
his older brother had been ill in bed for a long time and had never had anything happen with Lady Fan. He also wanted to become the Governor of Jingnan, so he forcibly occupied her.
The Fan family was also a large clan that had taken root in Guiyang Commandery; as a mere governor, he really didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
The advisor knew what Zhao Fan was thinking.
"My Lord, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"
"As long as you kill Liu Bei, it won't just be Lady Fan; maybe the Cai family of Xiangyang, Zhen Mi, and the two Qiaos will all be yours."
Zhao Fan's eyes lit up; if he killed Liu Bei, he would definitely shake the world.
"Good, let's do it."
That day, an envoy was sent from the city; Governor Zhao Fan wanted to surrender.
Liu Bei handed the surrender letter to everyone to read.
"What do you think?"
Xing Daorong frowned.
"My Lord, I'm afraid this Zhao Fan has a trick!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but think more highly of him.
"Daorong, tell me the reason."
Xing Daorong cupped his hands.
"My Lord, these governors of Jingnan are used to acting arrogantly and will not surrender unless they have no other choice. Since Zhao Fan is truly surrendering, why didn't he send his widowed sister-in-law, Lady Fan? It looks like he lacks sincerity and doesn't want to surrender truly!"
Everyone fell over!
Liu Bei was quite speechless; he had overestimated Xing Daorong's IQ.
"Do you think these things should be mentioned in the surrender letter?"
Xing Daorong scratched his head.
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Fei laughed loudly.
"Xing Daorong, you really are a blockhead; your brain is really not working well!"
Guo Jia cupped his hands.
"My Lord, this Zhao Fan indeed lacks sincerity. If he were truly surrendering, he wouldn't have mentioned not bringing too many troops into the city to avoid frightening the common people."
Pang Tong also said,
"This Zhao Fan has always had ambition; My Lord must not be unprepared."
Xing Daorong looked triumphantly at Zhang Fei; what did he say?
Zhang Fei glared at him and raised his fist, which was the size of a sand pot!
Xing Daorong...
Liu Bei stood up tall.
"Good, today I will lead three thousand troops into the city to see what kind of Hongmen Banquet Zhao Fan has set for me."
"Yan Yan, you lead your troops to support from outside the city."
"Understood!"
That afternoon,
Zhao Fan opened the city gate, and Liu Bei led three thousand elites into the city.
Everyone arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
The wine and food were already prepared.
Zhao Fan cupped his hands.
"Lord Liu Xuande's prestige shakes the nine provinces; please take the seat of honor."
Liu Bei naturally didn't stand on ceremony, went to the main seat, and greeted everyone.
"Everyone, don't be polite, take your seats."
Zhao Fan?? The wine and food he prepared, how did the host become Liu Bei?
Soon, everyone started drinking heavily.
Liu Bei praised Chen Ying and Bao Long a few times, and the two were so excited they couldn't be more so.
Xing Daorong was naturally bragging there.
"My Lord knocked me flying, along with my horse, in one move!"
Bao Long and Chen Ying were stunned; Xing Daorong couldn't beat them, and Lord Liu Xuande finished off Xing Daorong in one move?!
How could they fight this?
If you can't beat them, join them; it's a must!
Several other commandants leading troops also nodded one after another; the move of surrendering was the right one.
After more than a dozen rounds of drinking,
Zhang Fei's face was flushed red.
"Oh, no, I'm drunk, I'm drunk."
Xing Daorong lay directly by the table, clearly very drunk.
Guo Jia and Pang Tong also teased the dancing girls and fell drunk to the ground!
The live stream netizens frantically complained.
"They are all actors!"
"People who usually want to drink all night are just drunk?"
"They are all acting for Zhao Fan; this guy still thinks his plan has succeeded."
"What about Lady Fan? My Brother Bei can't wait anymore."
