Chapter 584

"Please, My Lord, surrender to Lord Xuande."

Zhao Fan slapped the table in anger,

"Shut up! How dare you say that! I have treated you so well in the past, and now you actually want to rebel against me!"

Zhao Fan stood up and sprayed in anger,

"I just won't surrender; what can he, Liu Bei, do to me!"

Chen Ying and Bao Long looked at each other, with fierce light in their eyes,

"My Lord, do not risk the lives of the hundred thousand households of Guiyang."

Zhao Fan's heart skipped a beat; if he didn't surrender, he feared these two would rebel against him...

His advisor saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said,

"Generals, do not 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, understood, and knew that public anger could not be offended.

Zhao Fan waved his hand,

"Enough, 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 skilled in battle; he can only be taken by strategy, not by force."

"How to take him by strategy?"

"My Lord, pretend to surrender, welcome Liu Bei into the city, and when he relaxes his vigilance, launch a surprise attack and kill him!"

Zhao Fan frowned,

"Liu Bei is very cunning; it is very difficult 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 beautiful women. In the north of the Yangtze, there are the two Qiaos; in Hebei, there are Fan and Zhen. In the Central Plains, there is the beauty Feng; Diao Chan is the most wonderful."

"Liu Bei has already obtained five of them; he is just missing Lady Fan."

Zhao Fan frowned even more; his widowed sister-in-law, Lady Fan, was of peerless beauty, and he himself was drooling over her.

Especially since he knew the inside story,

his older brother had been critically ill in bed and had never had anything happen with Lady Fan. He wanted to be the Governor of Southern Jingzhou, so he forcibly occupied her.

The Fan clan was also a large clan that had taken root in Guiyang Commandery; he was just a commandery governor and really didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

The advisor knew what Zhao Fan was thinking,

"My Lord, you cannot catch the wolf without sacrificing the child!"

"As long as Liu Bei is killed, it won't just be Lady Fan; perhaps the Cai clan of Xiangyang, Zhen Mi, and the two Qiaos will all be My Lord's."

Zhao Fan's eyes lit up; if he killed Liu Bei, he would surely shake the world,

"Good, let's do it."

That day, an envoy came from within 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 fear this Zhao Fan has a scheme!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at him with higher regard,

"Daorong, tell me the reason."

Xing Daorong cupped his hands,

"My Lord, these governors of Southern Jingzhou are used to acting arrogantly; they will not surrender unless they have no other choice. Since Zhao Fan is truly surrendering, why not send his widowed sister-in-law, Lady Fan? It looks like he lacks sincerity and does not want to surrender truly!"

Everyone fell over!

Liu Bei was speechless; he had overestimated Xing Daorong's intelligence,

"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 are truly a simpleton; 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 would not have mentioned not bringing too many troops into the city to avoid frightening the people."

Pang Tong also said,

"This Zhao Fan has always had ambition; My Lord must be on guard."

Xing Daorong looked at Zhang Fei triumphantly; what was he saying.

Zhang Fei glared at him and raised his fist, which was the size of a sand pot!

Xing Daorong...

Liu Bei stood up,

"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 gates, and Liu Bei led three thousand elites into the city.

Everyone arrived at the Commandery Governor's Mansion,

and the wine and dishes were already prepared.

Zhao Fan cupped his hands,

"Lord Xuande's prestige shakes the nine provinces; please take the seat of honor."

Liu Bei naturally did not stand on ceremony, went to the main seat, and greeted everyone,

"Everyone, don't be polite; take your seats."

Zhao Fan?? He prepared the wine and dishes, so why did the host become Liu Bei?

Soon, everyone was drinking heavily.

Liu Bei praised Chen Ying and Bao Long a few times, and the two were so excited they didn't know what to do.

Xing Daorong was naturally bragging there,

"My Lord sent me flying, horse and all, in one move!"

Bao Long and Chen Ying were stunned; Xing Daorong couldn't even beat them, and Lord Xuande finished him off in one move?!

How can this be fought?

If you can't beat them, join them; that's a must!

The 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 netizens in the live broadcast room were frantically complaining,

"They are all actors!"

"People who usually want to drink all night are drunk just like that?"

"They are all acting for Zhao Fan; this guy still thinks his scheme has succeeded."

"What about Lady Fan? My Brother Bei can't wait anymore." ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
