Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 111: In Jiangling City, Mi Fang stabbed Fu Shiren to death
Liu Feng's judgment was exactly what Guan Yu thought.

After seeing the troop deployment in Jiangling City today, Guan Yu decisively decided to isolate Jiangling.

That's why when Liu Feng signaled him, he gave Sun Quan ten days to consider.

This is also a common tactic used against fortified cities.

This was the case when Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian of Tancheng, Yuan Shao conquered Gongsun Zan of Yicheng, Zhou Yu conquered Cao Ren of Jiangling, and Guan Yu conquered Cao Ren of Fancheng.

The core of this tactic is to isolate the enemy's main city while destroying the city strongholds around the main city, destroying the soldiers who don't have time to return to the city or the reinforcements that come to support, and then use the captured heads, flags and other items to put pressure on the enemy in order to achieve the purpose of psychologically undermining the enemy's fighting spirit, and then force the enemy to abandon the city and surrender.

That is: attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior.

Seeing that Liu Feng also thought so, Guan Yu became more confident in implementing this tactic: "My dear nephew originally came from Maicheng, so you will lead the troops to defeat Xu Sheng, Ma Zhong and others; I will lead the navy to defeat Jiang Qin, Sun Jiao and others."

Liu Feng had the same idea.

Although it is not known whether Zhao Lei in Maicheng can see through the lie that "Liu Feng has been killed by Sun Quan", and it is also not known whether Zhao Lei can stop the attack of Xu Sheng, Ma Zhong and others in Maicheng, but as long as Xu Sheng, Ma Zhong and others are not in Jiangling City, then there is a need to attack.

After returning to the camp and distributing soldiers, horses, food and supplies, Liu Feng took Tian Qi and Tian Zhong, father and son, Fang Yue, four military marquises, Lu Yi, five colonels, and selected two thousand infantry and cavalry. With only three days of dry food, they bypassed Jiangling City and headed straight for Maicheng.

Guan Yu set up a fake flag outside Jiangling City and ordered Yue Ju and Yang Xing to lead the crowd to wander outside the city every day to keep a close eye on the movements in Jiangling City.

Simultaneously.

Guan Yu sent more light boats into Yunmengze to closely monitor the movements in the direction of Lukou.

Just when Liu Feng and Guan Yu divided their troops.

In Jiangling City, rumors resurfaced.

Spies such as Wang Dang, Luo Xin, and Shan Xiong, who had been silent for many days, recovered from their depression one after another.

These spies felt the same as Pei Qing. They had lost their goals because of the rumor that "Liu Feng had been killed by Sun Quan" and had basically been lying around in Jiangling City for some time.

However, it was also because of this that Wang Dang and others avoided being arrested by Pan Jun.

Wang Fu and others who worked in the Yicao Department were not so lucky.

Since Han Zhong failed to hide his whereabouts after being deliberately released by Pan Jun, Pan Jun was able to find Wang Fu who wanted to cooperate with Liu Feng from inside and outside.

By monitoring Wang Fu's mansion, Pan Jun arrested Wang Fu and Han Chong, as well as more than a hundred officials and celebrities, including the Inspector Shi Xin, the Thief Cao Li Xun, the Thief Cao Wang Qi, the Gold Cao Clerk Yang Guang, the Military Cao Clerk Liu Yi, the Official Liu Zhong, the Ship Officer Liu Rang, and the Storekeeper Wang Zhong.

Although some of them were arrested by mistake, Pan Jun, with the mentality of rather arresting the wrong people than letting them go, directly imprisoned Wang Fu and more than a hundred others.

Pan Jun spared no effort in pleasing his new master.

Pan Jun knew it very well.

Because they had acted too ruthlessly before, if Sun Quan was defeated, the Pan family would be finished in the future.

Pan Jun had no choice but to follow Sun Quan till the end.

More than a hundred people were captured at one time, which caused quite a stir in Jiangling City.

Taking advantage of the fact that Guan Yu's troops were at the gates of Jiangling and caused instability among the people, which diverted Pan Jun's attention, Wang Dang, Luo Xin and Shan Xiong secretly discussed and decided to sneak into the dungeon to contact Wang Fu and others.

Want to be an insider.

It is far from enough to rely solely on spies.

After bribing the dungeon guard with a large sum of money, Wang Dang disguised himself as a jailer and came to the dungeon where Wang Fu was imprisoned. He conveyed to Wang Fu the information that Liu Feng was not dead and Guan Yu's army was at the gates of the city.

Upon hearing that Liu Feng was not dead and Guan Yu had returned, Wang Fu was shocked and suspicious.

Think for a moment.

Wang Fu pretended to be surprised and told Wang Dang: "Jiangling City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without internal support, it is almost impossible to capture the city!

Now all the righteous men who were on good terms with me have been captured by that bastard Pan Jun, and I can do nothing about it.

You can go find General Mi, he is the only one who still has the chance to command the soldiers in the city to help you."

Wang Dang was surprised and said, "I heard that Jiangling City was offered to Lu Meng by General Mi. How could he be a spy for you, my Lord?"

Wang Fu snorted coldly: "General Mi has no choice! If he is willing to be an insider, he still has a chance to save his life; if he refuses, he will be killed by you after the city is captured.

Whether it's life or death, General Mi will definitely be able to make the right decision."

Wang Fu was not afraid that Wang Dang was deliberately sent by Pan Jun to induce a confession.

If Wang Dang was Pan Jun's man, he could have gotten rid of Mi Fang as well.

If Wang was really a spy sent by Liu Feng, Mi Fang might have continued Wang Fu's unfinished mission and helped Guan Yu break into the city.

No matter what choice Wang Fu makes, he will not lose out!
After Wang Dang left the dungeon, he discussed carefully with Luo Xin and Shan Xiong, and the three decided to take the risk and go find Mi Fang.

In order to avoid being betrayed by Mi Fang, the three of them hid themselves with short knives.

Once they realized that something was wrong with Mi Fang, they worked together to assassinate Mi Fang, so that Liu Feng's hospitality would not be in vain.

Mi Fang's life became increasingly miserable during this period.

When Lu Meng was around, Mi Fang was treated with courtesy.

After Zhu Ran replaced Lu Meng, Mi Fang's salary was reduced but he was still able to make do.

After Pan Jun was ordered to patrol the city, Mi Fang's treatment became even worse. In recent days, even his servants were not allowed to go out.

From being a Nanjun prefect who was deeply trusted by Liu Bei to being under house arrest like a prisoner, Mi Fang had no idea how many times he had regretted it in the past few days.

Mi Fang was even more afraid that Sun Quan would order him around like a dog in the future.

In fact it is.

According to historical records, three years later, Mi Fang, at an old age, was sent by Sun Quan to follow He Qi to fight against the rebel general Jin Zong, and during these three years, he was often scolded by Yu Penzi whenever he got the chance.

If he could do it again, Mi Fang would never surrender Jiangling City.

however.

There is no medicine for regret in the world.

No matter how angry Mi Fang was, it could not change the fact that he had lost his chastity and surrendered the city.

in the dark.

Three dark shadows climbed into the backyard. They were Wang Dang, Luo Xin and Shan Xiong.

The three men quietly went to the room where Mi Fang was sleeping, knocked down the old servant at the door, rushed into the room and put the knife to Mi Fang's neck. Feeling the coldness of the short knife, Mi Fang suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Mi Fang only felt cold sweat soaking his back.

Someone held a knife to my neck in the middle of the night. How many years has it been since I last encountered this?

Wang Dang said in a low voice: "General Mi, don't shout nonsense. I came here uninvited tonight just to conspire with General Mi for something big."

Mi Fang is not stupid either.

Hearing this, he understood the purpose of Wang Dang and the other two, and advised them: "I admire your loyalty. But now Liu Feng has been killed by Sun Quan, and Guan Junhou can't save himself, so don't lose your lives in vain."

Shan Xiong sneered: "Sun Quan is just a good talker. With his little ability, he dares to boast that he killed the deputy general."

Mi Fang was surprised and asked, "Liu Feng is not dead?"

Wang Dang pressed his knife down and said, "General Mi, I hope you can be more respectful to the deputy general and not call him by his name. This is very rude!"

Mi Fang was already shocked by the news that Liu Feng was not dead, and he did not care about Wang Dang's threat. He changed the topic and asked, "Vice-General Liu, is he really still alive?"

Luo Xin said proudly: "Of course he is still alive! Not only that, the deputy general also killed Sun Quan's fierce general Han Dang.

We also found out that on that day, Sun Quan was ostensibly carrying the coffin and holding a funeral for the deputy general, but in fact he was carrying the coffin and holding a funeral for Han Dang.

The deputy general and Guan Junhou even joined forces to break through Gong'an City and Jiangjinkou, and three days ago they were at the gates of the city again, giving Sun Quan ten days to consider whether to surrender the city.

Mi Fang was even more horrified: "The enemy was at the gates three days ago, how come I didn't get any news?"

Wang Dang said, "If you can get the news, Pan Jun should be killed by Sun Quan. I won't waste my words with you. I just want to ask you one question: are you willing to help from the inside?"

Mi Fang took a deep breath to calm her unstable emotions: "If I say I am willing, will you believe me?"

Wang Dang shook his head: "Words are not enough, kill the thief as evidence."

Mi Fang was shocked and asked, "Who do you want me to kill?"

Wang Dang sneered: "The Public Security Guard, Fu Shiren!"

Mi Fang was silent.

If Fu Shiren was killed, it would mean a complete break with Sun Quan.

If the plan fails, Sun Quan will kill Mi Fang.

"Marquis Guan gave Sun Quan a ten-day deadline. Now there are still seven days left. Why don't we wait a few more days before killing him?" Mi Fang was thinking of hedging his bets again.

Wang Dang did not give Mi Fang a chance: "General Mi, I am not a fool. If you don't kill Fu Shiren, then I will have no choice but to kill you tonight.

If I kill you, the history books will record in the future that 'the brave soldiers under the command of the deputy general, Wang Dang, Luo Xin, and Shan Xiong, assassinated the traitor Mi Fang in Jiangling City'.

Think it over and then tell me what you want to choose."

Feeling the chill of the dagger on his neck, Mi Fang did not dare to hesitate any longer and said hurriedly, "Don't be impulsive! Fu Shiren lost Gong'an City and caused me to suffer such a disaster. I also hate Fu Shiren deeply. Killing Fu Shiren is also my wish."

See Mi Fang agree.

Wang Dang and his two companions then carried Mi Fang to the door.

Mi Fang looked at the old servant who was knocked down outside the door and kicked him.

When the old servant woke up, Mi Fang shouted, "Why are you still sleeping? Call Fu Shiren over here immediately!"

The old servant touched his aching neck, his eyes still a little confused: "It's so late, General Fu has already gone to bed."

Mi Fang was furious: "Just go if I tell you to. What are you talking about? Tell Fu Shiren that if he doesn't come quickly, I'll burn his bed."

The old servant did not dare to delay and hurried to call Fu Shiren.

After a while.

Fu Shiren came to Mi Fang's room with a gloomy face and said in a bad tone: "General Mi, why did you call me here so late? What's the matter?"

The voice just fell.

Fu Shiren felt a sound of wind behind him. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Wang Dang stabbed him in the back and the sword in his hand fell. Luo Xin and Shan Xiong then came forward and held Fu Shiren down.

Fu Shiren felt his strength quickly dissipating after being stabbed in the back. He looked at Mi Fang with fear and shock: "Mi Zifang, what are you going to do?"

Mi Fang picked up the sword on the ground, his eyes fierce, and he drew his sword and stabbed it into Fu Shiren's chest: "If you don't die, I can't live!"

It seemed as if he wanted to reduce his guilt, and it also seemed as if he said it on purpose for Wang Dang and the other two to hear.

Mi Fang added: "If you hadn't surrendered Gong'an City, how could I have lost the city? And I wouldn't have fallen to this point! Since you want to be a dog for Sun Quan, I can only kill you."

What a ruthless man!

Seeing Mi Fang kill Fu Shiren so swiftly, even though Wang Dang, Luo Xin and Shan Xiong had experienced life and death on the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

Wang Dang took a step back and said, "General Mi has killed the traitor Fu Shiren today, which is very satisfying! It is up to General Mi to decide how to coordinate internal and external forces. We will not stay any longer."

Looking at Wang Dang and the other two who left in a hurry, Mi Fang resisted the urge to chase them.

Mi Fang, who came from a wealthy family, had followed Liu Bei through many adventures and was able to survive. Naturally, he would not be a merciful person.

If Wang Dang and the other two had not been on guard just now, Mi Fang would have killed them all together, and then claimed that they had encountered an assassin, and the assassin and Fu Shiren would have died together.

In this way, Mi Fang can still bet on both sides.

"Now it seems that I have no choice."

"I didn't expect that after Liu Gongzhong went to Xichuan, his tactics would become so cruel. Perhaps I have been plotted against by Liu Gongzhong since the day he sent me the letter."

Looking at Fu Shiren, who was already lifeless at his feet, Mi Fang's eyes flashed with disgust, and he asked the old servant to throw him into the dry well in the backyard.

Liu Feng was unaware of the changes in the city and had already led his troops to the territory of Maicheng.

Upon learning that Zhao Lei was still defending Maicheng, Liu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong defeated Zhao Lei, Liu Feng's plan to defeat them and return to Jiangling City within ten days would become doubly difficult.

"God help me to defeat the thief."

"No matter whether you are Dabao or Ma Shen, you can't escape my killing tonight!"
