Ji Guangchen didn't care about the scene of the fire, and rushed to the county government to pretend to be the governor of the capital, and as soon as he entered the door, he collided with a person, who turned out to be the first staff of King Yong, Shi Wei Zichun, the governor of the capital.

"Didn't Wei Changshi go out of the city with King Yong all the way?"

He knew that this Wei Zichun was Li Lan's most trusted person, and he didn't bring this person with him when he left, which showed his panic and haste.

Wei Zichun was also inexplicable and shocked, and said hurriedly:

"Wei has been watching the fire, and he is only about to come when he gets the news, and when he arrives at Xingyuan, he has disappeared from the trace of King Yong!"

As the most trusted person of King Yong, Wei Zichun is responsible for the defense of Jiangning City, although Ji Guangchen has high merit, but if he wants to have any military orders in this city, he can't bypass this person.

"Wei Changshi quickly send someone to chase him, Yongwang must not have any mistakes!"

Without Ji Guangchen's reminder, Wei Zichun sent someone to chase him as soon as possible, and he couldn't understand why a fire made the always calm Yongwang so out of shape?

Li Lan and the others fled quickly, and the people sent out chased them all night and did not come back, until noon, and the group returned one after another in despair, and the king of Yong and the king of Xiangcheng were also among them.

Wei Zichun and Ji Guangchen were relieved to see that King Yong's father and son were fine.

At this moment, King Yong really regretted and embarrassed to the extreme, not only did he not have a single soldier of the imperial court all the way after leaving the city, not even half of the ghost shadow, he also knew that he was frightened by Gao Shi's plan to set up suspicious soldiers, but what could he say after the matter had come to this point? He had to grit his teeth and accept this unwilling reality.

Ji Guangchen comforted Li Lan for a while, then left Xingyuan in a hurry, and then immediately summoned Hun Weiming and other generals to discuss secretly.

Ji Guangchen and Hun Weiming are both from Jianghuai soldiers, so they naturally get close. Now, everyone also knows the news of King Yong's escape, and although he was chased back at this time, it also made everyone feel extremely cold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ji has a question to ask, did I follow King Yong to rebel?"

"Of course not!"

Everyone spoke in unison.

"The world is in chaos, the Emperor Taishang is in Bashu, there is no more virtuous than King Yong among the princes, we follow King Yong, but to be able to stabilize the country, but lead the soldiers of Jianghuai, drive Yongluo directly, and the great cause can be accomplished. But now, since the eternal king cannot be in a great position, and we are about to be ranked as a rebel, how will future generations comment on it? Do you want to bear this thousand years of infamy forever?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and everyone knew what Ji Guangchen's words meant. Yongwang is definitely a person who can't achieve great things, if he follows him all the way to the dark, he will only harm himself in the end, and harm the descendants of his clan, it is better to withdraw in time when he is not deeply involved......

"What to do, it's all up to the third runner-up!"

Ji Guangchen's eyes were sharp and cold, and he glanced around everyone. He has now made a decision that has been well thought out. On that day, King Yong was actually frightened by Gao Shi's suspicious soldiers on the city wall and was so frightened that he was overwhelmed, and then a fire caused him to flee in a hurry overnight regardless of it.

"Ji doesn't want to be a rebel, but he doesn't want to betray King Yong, he wants to flee and return to the country today, and he will swear with Ji on the spot that he will never lose up!"

Everyone was silent for a while, the so-called escape and return to the country was actually equivalent to giving up King Yong and rejoining the imperial court, but Ji Guangchen was unwilling to exchange King Yong's first-level old man for a bargaining chip to re-serve.

Looking at Ji Guangchen's eyes again, there was already a burst of cold light in his eyes, if anyone dared to take King Yong as a hostage, I am afraid that he would be killed immediately!

There was only a moment of silence, and everyone said in unison:

"I am willing to make an alliance with the third runner-up!"

……

Li Lan woke up, the sky was still dark, it was still early before dawn, and now he only felt refreshed, and he also figured it out, since Gao Shi was suspicious of the army, it must be that his troops were empty, otherwise why play these tricks?

He felt that it was necessary to have a deep conversation with Ji Guangchen, this Ji Guangchen was in seclusion among the generals of the Jianghuai Department in terms of ability and prestige, so he had to obtain this person's understanding in order to minimize the impact of fleeing the city overnight.

The midsummer night was very hot, Li Lan stretched his waist, planning to go to the courtyard to cool off and eliminate the hot sweat on his body, but who knew that Li Hao came to Xingyuan to see him in a hurry.

Since he was stationed in Jiangning, Li Lan intended to cultivate this eldest son and let him lead the troops in the army, and when he saw him leave the barracks at night, he frowned and said:

"It's not dawn yet, and if you don't sit in the army, what do you always run to? Can't you endure the hardships of the army?

If it was in the past, Li Hao would have raised his neck to refute Li Lan's reprimand, but this time he ignored it, only cried with a sad face, and said:

"Father, Ji Guangchen and Hun Weiming, who ate and crawled outside the house, fled overnight!"

"Say it again!"

The hot sweat did not subside, and the cold sweat suddenly came out again, and Li Luan's body stiffened suddenly, and he almost fainted.

"Ji Guangchen, Hun Weiming, these bastards have all run away!"

"He, why did they flee?"

Li Hao took out a piece of parchment from the leather pouch around his waist and handed it to Li Lan.

"This is Ji Guangchen's book!"

Holding back the violent trembling of his hands, Li Lan forcibly endured fear and anger and read more than 100 words, to the effect that Ji Guangchen told King Yong that he had to flee and return to China, and in an instant anger drove him to tear the parchment to shreds, as if only in this way could he resolve all the resentment in his heart.

"Chase, chase them all back for me, and I can't let go of any of them!"

Roar, almost hysterical.

Li Hao was stunned by fright, in his impression, although his father loves to nag, he has always been gentle and generous, why is it like a different person today?

No, you don't need to go, this king himself will chase him, catch up with him, but you should ask him why he turned his back on this king, and did this king treat them poorly?

As far as the truth is concerned, Li Lan treated Ji Guangchen and other generals of the Jianghuai family very favorably, asking for money for money, and grain for food, except for the official positions that must be canonized in the name of the Son of Heaven, such as the Jiedu envoy and the county taishou, almost everything he had. This is also the main factor why Ji Guangchen and other cadres of the Jianghuai army will rush to it.

Li Lan's subsequent performance was really unbearable, so that these generals who were originally desperate for him were separated from him. However, Ji Guangchen and the others finally did not exchange Li Lan's head for military merits, and they were quite kind.

As half an outsider, Li Hao sees this relatively clearly, but Li Lan has long been filled with anger, where can he still think rationally?

Two thousand cavalry galloped out of the city, and Li Luan persuaded them to wear uniforms, and they were among them. Although the descendants of the Li family were raised in the Ten Princes' Mansion, almost everyone was proficient in equestrianism, so the bumps on the horse were no problem for him.

He only chased Ji Guangchen alone, and vowed to arrest this person and severely punish and relieve hatred!

Although Ji Guangchen and hundreds of followers left early, after all, each person only had one horse, and the horsepower could not last, so they were easily caught up after two hours.

Ji Guangchen saw that he couldn't escape, so he simply stopped running away and waited for his troops!

Li Lan saw Ji Guangchen from a distance, and the two thousand cavalry fanned around hundreds of entourage, and they were killed together as soon as they had an order!

"Ji Guangchen, this king treats you well, why did you betray me?"

What should be said, Ji Guangchen explained in the book, and only responded loudly:

"The minister is grateful to King Yong for knowing that he is unwilling to add evil thoughts, if King Yong insists on making it difficult, Ji Guangchen will only have to fight to the death!"

The attitude was firm and resolute, and Li Lan didn't know how to answer for a while. Treat people with sincerity, reward and envelope, this method has been tried and tested repeatedly, and now he asks himself not to be biased towards others, but he is ruthlessly abandoned, and all kinds of emotions of incomprehension, resentment, and loss come to his heart.

That's why you've never suffered a setback, and it's not surprising that you can get out of place when you encounter unexpected difficulties!

Li Lan's attitude suddenly softened.

"Could it be that this king can't stand you?"

Ji Guangchenhao was unmoved, only resolute.

"If King Yong refuses to let me go, I will have to fight to the death!"

In an instant, Li Lan lost his soul, and finally did not issue a military order to fight, let go of a way out, and let Ji Guangchen leave calmly.

Returning to Jiangning City, Li Wei greeted him and told him that not everyone had left, and Gao Xianqi, the envoy of Jiangning's infantry army, did not swear an oath with Ji Guangchen and others, but stayed firmly.

Li Lan tried his best to lift his spirits, rewarded Gao Xianqi generously, and dragged his exhausted body back to Dadu Governor Xingyuan and never showed up again.

However, in the tenth day, Guangling and other counties successively announced that they would rejoin the imperial court, and Ji Guangchen and others personally went to the Jiedu envoy who was stationed in Tu to meet Gao Shi!

Gao Shi acted cheaply on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and all the generals were pardoned for the crimes of rebellion, and only let them lead the troops to serve, even if they would be guilty. As a result, from Gangneung to Guangling in several places, the soldiers and horses of various counties turned to Gao Shi, saying that they would finally be the imperial court.

This sudden change surprised Li Chengshi and Li Xiyan, at first they were very optimistic about this one-man Jiedu envoy, in order to preserve their strength and disobey his orders, but now the other party did not spend a single soldier, so easily divided and disintegrated Li Lan's rebels, so that the advantage returned to the side of the court.

In retrospect, the hard battles with Li Lan before, the casualties were counted, and they all seemed to be useless.

Er Li is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and competent, and after realizing their inappropriateness, he pleaded guilty to Gao Shi together. Gao Shi only laughed, and then released his suspicions with the two.

"It is only sooner or later that the Yongwang will be destroyed, but Gao Mou has to persuade the two, just drive them away, don't chase the poor guy!"

The two were puzzled and asked the reason, and Gao Shi's answer was meaningful:

"After all, King Yong is the blood of the Emperor Taishang, and he is a brother to the Son of Heaven, have you forgotten the story of Han Wu?"
