Two days later, a piece of news came back, shocking the entire Daimyo Mansion and the Song army on the front line----- the team escorting Li Gang to Tokyo was attacked by bandits on Anyang Mountain on the way, and all of them, including Li Gang, were killed!

Geng Nanzhong pretended to be shocked when he heard the news, and he actually breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still a little uneasy, so he immediately sent someone to Anyang to investigate the detailed situation.

Yao Gu heard the news as if it were five thunderbolts, if it weren't for the timely support of the two brothers Yao Pingzhong beside him, he almost fainted, and after he came to his senses, Yao Gu, who was already in his sixties, completely disregarded the image and cried in the army, smelling and crying.

The news also quickly spread throughout the surrounding Daimyo Mansion and the entire front line of the Song Army, some people were secretly happy, but more people were very sad, especially the reaction from the army, the army is a place that pays attention to strength, ability and honor, although Li Gang has only been on the front line for two months, but has conquered most of the Song army soldiers, the soldiers were already unhappy for Li Gang's experience, at this moment when they heard that Li Gang was killed, they were even more angry, and they all pointed the finger at Liu Yanqing, who indirectly killed Li Gang, and thousands of soldiers spontaneously went to Liu Yanqing to settle accounts, But he got the news in advance, ran out of the barracks and fled to Geng Nanzhong, and the sergeants went to Geng Nanzhong to settle accounts.

Geng Nanzhong saw that Liu Yanqing was simply a fart and urinated in a hurry, and knew that something was wrong, and after listening to Liu Yanqing's words, Geng Nanzhong was shocked, he didn't expect this situation at all, he also panicked, and was just about to leave the mansion to escape from the Daimyo's mansion, but he heard the guards hurriedly report that countless sergeants had gathered outside the mansion, and the mansion was surrounded by water!

As soon as the guard's voice fell, he heard a boiling shout coming in from outside the courtyard, and he actually asked Geng Nanzhong to go out and speak.

Geng Nanzhong was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, of course he didn't dare to go out, but he just ordered people to guard the door, and Geng Yanxi, Liu Yanqing and others circled around the house like ants on a hot pot, but there was nothing to be done.

Outside the mansion, seeing that the gate was closed, and Geng Nanzhong did not show up at all, the sergeants were even more dissatisfied, and they had already begun to prepare equipment, preparing to break through the gate and rush in.

At this time, the Song army was in a state of restlessness, and it seemed that a mutiny was imminent!

But no one thought that at this critical moment, a person stood up to relieve Geng Nanzhong's siege, this person was none other than Yao Gu! Yao Gu, like Li Gang, was deeply loved and respected by the soldiers of the Song Army, although he only brought Yao Pingzhong and Yao Youzhong and a few personal guards, but he shocked thousands of people in the audience at once.

Yao Gu looked extremely tired, but everyone could see that he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart, like an aging beast, although he looked so tired, he could burst out at any time, showing his still sharp fangs to give the enemy the deadliest blow!

In the face of thousands of angry soldiers, Yao Gu didn't say much, but said, "Do you want to rebel?" Give me all back! Master Li's business, there is an old man! ”

When the sergeants saw the old man say this, they quickly dispersed, and a crisis disappeared in an instant.

Geng Nanzhong in the palace was overjoyed when he learned about it, he was really completely frightened this time, and secretly made a decision in his heart, the negotiation should be concluded as soon as possible, and he would leave this place and return to Tokyo immediately after the end, and he was secretly glad that today's incident finally gave himself another truth, which is enough to prove that he was right to ask the emperor to guard against Li Gang, Li Gang will buy people's hearts so much, and it didn't take long for him to come to the Daimyo Mansion There was such a large number of diehards, if it wasn't for the emperor's holy decree to stop him in time, In the future, he will definitely repeat the disaster of Zheng Juzhong, even more so than him!

Geng Nanzhong was thinking about it, and heard a report from someone that Yao Gu had not left and was waiting outside the mansion to see him.

"How many are there?" Geng Nanzhong hurriedly asked, what happened just now really scared him, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Except for Lord Yao, there are only Yao Pingzhong and three entourages, Yao Youzhong was there just now, it seems that he went to watch those troublesome soldiers return to the barracks."

Hearing that there were only five people, Geng Nanzhong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Let him come in." ”

Liu Yanqing, who was next to him, said with a bitter face, "Lord Geng, the lower official...... I want to avoid it for a while. ”

Geng Nanzhong glanced at him angrily, Liu Yanqing is also from the Northwest Army, and he is from a family of generals in the Northwest, but their family is not a big family, and there is no comparison with the Yao family, the breeder and other generals, and he himself does not have much ability, and this person is very afraid of death, and he is particularly eye-catching in a group of Northwest generals who are like wolves and tigers, and has always been looked down upon by many generals of the Northwest Army. And the reason why he was able to become Yao Gu's deputy this time was largely because he was the same as Yao Gu and did not get too close to Tong Guan at the beginning, so he was not attributed to Tong Guan by Zhao Huan, but in fact, his situation was very different from Yao Gu. But because of this, it was a blessing in disguise, the Northwest Army went out, Zhao Huan made a difficulty in the selection of deputy marshal after selecting Yao Gu as the coach, left and right, all because the selected person had been too close to Tong Guan and gave up, at this time, someone recommended Liu Yanqing to Zhao Huan, this person is none other than Geng Nanzhong, because Liu Yanqing took the "son route", his son is called Liu Guangshi, and Geng Nanzhong's son Geng Yanxi has a very good relationship, Liu Guangshi went to ask Geng Yanxi, Geng Nanzhong said in his heart that it was not bad to keep his own people in the front-line army, so he agreed to this matter, and waited to recommend it to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan saw that this person was indeed not in the same group as Tong Guan, and listened to Geng Nanzhong add fuel and vinegar to say that he was suppressed because of his opposition to Tong Guan, and he was not promoted because of his military exploits, so he immediately agreed to Geng Nanzhong's suggestion and ordered Liu Yanqing to be the deputy marshal.

Liu Yanqing is naturally grateful to Geng Nanzhong, but he himself also knows that he is difficult to convince the public, since he came to the Daimyo's Mansion, he has always been honest, obedient to Yao Guyan, obedient to Nuo, although Yao Gu also looked down on him, but he didn't embarrass him when he saw him so obedient, but Liu Yanqing's true thoughts were not as he showed, he not only hated Yao Gu, hated other people in the Northwest Army, and even the dead Tong Guan He hated him very much, because those people looked down on him, and he didn't want to retaliate all the time, I want to find an opportunity to soar, and then stand up majestically, so that those who once looked down on him regret it!

So he's been waiting for an opportunity. Not long after Li Gang came to the front line, he received a letter from Geng Nanzhong, who asked him to monitor Li Gang's movements at all times and report to him at any time.

Who is Geng Nanzhong? That's Zhao Huan's great hero, the dignified vice chairman of the State Military Commission, isn't Liu Yanqing an opportunity when he sees this? After settling Geng Nanzhong, won't the benefits be great in the future? immediately followed Geng Nanzhong's arrangement and became Geng Nanzhong's eyeliner. Therefore, this time, Geng Nanzhong asked Zhao Huan to issue an order to guard against Li Gang, and this holy decree was secretly handed over to Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing's errand was originally done well, and he won Li Gang cleanly, Geng Nanzhong was very satisfied, but it was very unauthentic to do it today, because Geng Nanzhong thought that the reason why those troublesome sergeants found him was because he was attracted by Liu Yanqing, who fled to him, and it can be seen from this incident that although Liu Yanqing has the name of a deputy marshal, he is actually bullshit, and he was chased by thousands of soldiers all over the city like a lost dog, which is simply disgraced, and then look at Yao Gu, In a few words, thousands of people were gone, and thousands of evil pawns didn't dare to let go of Yao Gu's two farts, this gap was really not ordinarily big. All of this made Geng Nanzhong feel that Liu Yanqing was not a person worth investing in, and he was not worth it to use, so his attitude towards him naturally plummeted.

But having said that, he was going back to Tokyo soon, and he couldn't find someone to replace Liu Yanqing on the front line, and Geng Nanzhong couldn't turn his face to him, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, you can avoid it." ”

Unfortunately, although the change in Geng Nanzhong's expression just now was only for a moment, it was captured by the sensitive Liu Yanqing, that kind of expression was simply familiar to him, which made Liu Yanqing very uncomfortable, he guessed that Geng Nanzhong was likely to give up on himself, and once this situation occurred, it would be disastrous for him, because Li Gang had offended almost the entire Northwest Army, if he was abandoned by Geng Nanzhong again, then he would be not a person inside and outside, not to mention that he was soaring, and it was difficult to say whether even everything that existed could be saved.

Liu Yanqing instantly made up his mind, he couldn't sit still, he wanted to struggle again, and the direction of the struggle was placed on the coming Yao Gu!

The idea has been decided, Liu Yanqing walked into the inner room on the one hand, but hid behind the door to carefully observe the situation outside, only to see that it didn't take long for several people to walk in from the outside, and the leader was Yao Gu,

Geng Nanzhong greeted him warmly, and even said, "Lord Yao, it's thanks to you today, this official ......,"

But before he could finish speaking, Yao Gu suddenly stretched out his hand rudely to interrupt his words, and said coldly, "Lord Geng, the soldiers love Lord Li very much, please understand, the lower officials are here to ask Lord Geng a word, is Lord Li's matter an accident, or is it ......?!" ”

Under Yao Gu's cold and murderous gaze, Geng Nanzhong's heart trembled violently, and he couldn't help but shiver before he hurriedly said, "Why did Lord Yao say this?" Yes, of course...... Accident, or not? ”

Yao Gu glanced at him coldly, Geng Nanzhong's heart was beating wildly, his face was still pretending to be calm, and after a while, Yao Gu slowly nodded and said, "No matter what is going on, the lowly will go to find out, if it is an accident, even if the lowly job is chased to the ends of the earth, all those robbers will be killed, if it is not ......, even if this head is abandoned, the lowly position will also seek justice for Lord Li!" ”

After that, Yao Gu turned around and left, leaving only Geng Nanzhong's face white and red, but he didn't dare to say a word, just looked at Yao Gu's back trembling with anger, and didn't stretch out his finger to the direction where Yao Gu disappeared and said tremblingly, "He...... How dare he ......! ”

At this moment, Liu Yanqing suddenly flashed out of the house, walked quickly to Geng Nanzhong's side to help him, helped him to the chair and sat down, and comforted Geng Nanzhong for a while.

After a while, Geng Nanzhong's complexion smoothed slightly, and Liu Yanqing put his mouth to his ear and whispered for a while, and Geng Nanzhong's face was shocked and suspicious.

"You're right...... It's all true? ”

Liu Yanqing nodded again and again, "How dare you deceive your lord?" There was an eyeliner by his side, and judging from his performance when he returned to his residence on the night of Li Gang's arrest, Li Gang must have told him about peace! ”

"Uh-huh......!" Geng Nanzhong nodded, then smiled at Liu Yanqing, just like before, "You did a good job, you have to take a good look at him for me in the future!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Yanqing perked up and hurriedly said.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Three days later, a more detailed report was sent back to the Daimyo's Mansion, and when Li Gang and 57 soldiers escorted him were crossing Anyang Mountain in Anyang County, they were attacked by unknown bandits on the mountain road, and the robbers brutally killed all the people, including Li Gang, and also robbed all the property, horses, and even weapons, armor, and shoes.

There were dozens of corpses left at the scene, no less than one, but the corpses had been eaten by wild beasts before they were discovered, many of them were unrecognizable, and the face of one of them was gnawed, but it can be seen from the clothes and belongings he was wearing, as well as the body type, it must be Li Gang!

Geng Nanzhong finally put his mind at ease after getting the news, and then went out of the city to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao Army.

Zheng Fei kept his promise, and sure enough, he ceded four more states and counties to him, Geng Nanzhong happily returned to the Daimyo's Mansion to send good news to Tokyo again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left, Pang Wanchun walked into the handsome tent from outside and said to Zheng Fei, "Commander, the people have been brought back." ”

Zheng Fei said, "How is he?" ”

"Everything else is fine, but he was looking for an opportunity to kill himself along the way, and he even broke his head, and we had no choice but to tie him up, but he ...... He went on a hunger strike. ”

"Hunger strike?" Zheng Fei sighed helplessly, Li Gang, Li Gang, his temperament is really so strong!

"The old way," Zheng Fei continued, "tell him, if he doesn't eat, I'll kill the five thousand captured Song soldiers at once!" ”

"Yes!"

"Then, according to the plan, let Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, Seed Master Dao, and Liu Fa go together to persuade him!"

"Yes!"
