Li Nai cried with a sad face, feeling that if he didn't admit it, he would be beaten to death by his father.

But if he admits that it may be that he divulged out the whole strategy in a moment when he was sleeping with prostitution, then his father would immediately pull out a knife and kill him.

So Li Nai scribbled with his fingers, and he couldn't say why for a long time, so angry that Li Wanrong kicked him carefully, and kicked the unsuccessful weapon out of the way seven or eight feet, so he could only lie on the ground and roll and moan.

Several confidants hurriedly stopped Li Wanrong, saying that the matter had come to this point, and it was pointless to beat Sima again, "It is better to transfer the book to Wei Shuai (Tian Xu) and Qingshuai (Li Shigu), and simply let them lead the army into Bianzhou, frighten the imperial court, and force the imperial court to calm down." ”

"What about Liu Yihuai?" Li Wanrong asked with a pant.

"Let Liu Zhijun close the city in Songzhou and defend himself, and refuse the court's orders."

Li Wanrong could only do so.

As a result, what made him very disappointed was that after hearing the news of Gao Yue's march into the Biansong Dynasty, Na Tian Xu and Li Shigu ran faster than rabbits, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses that were originally stationed in Dingtao were suddenly scattered: Wei Bo's soldiers and horses retreated all the way to the north of the Yellow River and retreated back to the Daimyo Mansion of Weizhou; Li Shigu also retreated to Lei Ze, and after watching for a few days, he heard that Zhang Jianfeng was going to send troops to fight his Yanzhou, and he was so frightened that he rushed back to Yuncheng, and he was in a panic.

Soon Gaoyue, who was stationed in Chenliu, received letters from Tian Xu and Li Shigu successively.

Although Tian Xu's tone was still a little stubborn, he actually warmly praised Gao Yue's exploits in pacifying Huaixi, and said that the Cai thief had been destroyed, and it was meaningless for him to lead the army south, so he retreated to Weizhou and guarded his own realm - this was actually tantamount to losing his sincerity to the imperial court;

And Li Shigu's tone towards Gao Yue was even more humble, not only begging the imperial court not to levy himself, but also saying that he would immediately ask Gao Gao Lang to send an observation envoy to dispose of it, and "set two taxes" for the ten states under my jurisdiction, and I will definitely pay the taxes on time this year, and I will never live up to the promise I made with Zhonglang in the past.

This Wei Shuai and Qing Shuai didn't encounter anything, and they each arrogantly wanted to go to heaven; But when something happens, they run faster than rabbits.

Now Li Wanrong is completely isolated.

In Songzhou Military City, Liu Yihuai, who learned of Li Wanrong's reaction, was furious and scolded: "Unexpectedly, Li Wanrong sold me!" So he really closed the city and defended himself, and sent the military officials to the Gaoyue camp, and in turn came out with Li Wanrong, saying that the sacrifice of Wu Shaocheng's head was completely planned by Li Wanrong and Li Nai's father and son, and he was just an accomplice.

Five days later, Gao Yue's cavalry approached Laoqiu, fifty miles north of Chen Liu, and the war horses of Ming Huaiyi and Mi Yuan had already drunk water Pipa Gou, which was only ten miles away from the Bianzhou Military City.

At dusk that day, suddenly a soldier shouted in the market in Xili: "The soldiers of Gao Yue, the prime minister of the imperial court, have entered the city!" ”

Suddenly, the military city barracks, the Ya Soldier Courtyard and the government office were all in chaos, Li Wanrong was angry and wanted to summon the Ya soldiers to kill the soldiers who shouted and spread rumors, but the guards came to report: "Han Hong, the soldier and horse envoy, has gone to the prison military courtyard to lead the prison envoy Ju Wenzhen and the envoy Meng Guangcheng to come and arrest Jiexia." ”

"I'm dead." Li Wanrong was cornered, "But I must not die in the hands of Han Hong, the erector, and the eunuchs who are still in prison." ”

After speaking, Li Wanrong drew his sword, stabbed it into his mouth, and instantly retreated down the stairs, planted upside down in the courtyard, and died of anger.

At this time, the Xuanwu soldiers in the military government office, when they first arrived, they saw that the Jiedu envoy had died with a sword, and they were in a hurry, so they lifted Li Wanrong's remains like ants who found the corpse of a locust, shouting that the traitor Li Wanrong had been forced to cut himself by us, and then they rushed to the front of the military gate to welcome the arrival of Han Hong and Ju Wenzhen.

After Han Hong confirmed the identity of the dead body, he urgently asked, "Where is Li Nai!" ”

The tooth soldiers shouted: "Please come with us and arrest the thief Li Nai." After speaking, everyone fought bravely, without taking the lead, and surrounded the entire military city office, digging three feet into the ground, and finally pulled out the trembling Li Nai behind the stable and handed it to Han Hong.

Han Hong said to Ju Wenzhen that although Li Wanrong committed suicide in fear of crime, his son was still alive and asked the prison envoy to deal with it.

"Escort him to the camp of the high school lang." Ju Wenzhen ordered.

In normal times, Li Nai was cloaked, tied by ropes, and knelt in front of Gao Yue in the Laoqiu camp.

"Master!" When Li Nai saw Gao Yue, tears poured like a spring, and he kept kowtowing.

When you first came to Bianzhou, my father entrusted me to you, and you also said that you would treat me like my own son, did you forget?

But this so-called "master" looked stern, and said, "Take Li Wanrong's car against the party's threshold and send it to Beijing, and talk about the law!" Then let Li Nai shout, but he was still twisted into the car, and he went to Beijing with this person, as well as Li Wanrong's cronies and generals Li Zhan and Yi Louyue.

As for Li Wanrong's body, it was also sent to the Laoqiu camp.

Liu Chang, who hated Li Wanrong deeply, rushed over, personally held a whip, and whipped Li Wanrong's body dozens of times in public, beating him beyond recognition, before stopping.

The next day, the Xuanwu soldiers knelt on the head of the city of Bianzhou, and pleaded loudly to Gao Yue, Liu Chang, and Quhuan soldiers and horses lined up at the mouth of the Tongji Canal under the city, saying that Li Wanrong had been ambushed, and asked the prime minister to be lenient with the Xuanwu army, and Han Hong to preside over the military government's rear affairs.

But Gao Yue resolutely disagreed, "After that, the Xuanwu Army will be envoys, and the ministers of the court must do it." ”

When the stalemate was unbearable, the prison envoy Ju Wenzhen also went out of Bianzhou City and came to the camp to discuss the matter with Gao Yue.

"The Xuanwu army is arrogant and difficult to control, and it should be on the main road of Caoyun, if the indigenous warriors of Henan Province are in charge of the festival, I am afraid that there will be chaos again." Gao Yue's opinion is clear.

"Having said that, when that group of Xuanwu soldiers saw the end of Li Wanrong's father and son, they were afraid that the imperial court would liquidate them, so Ju Wenzhen also confided the fear in his heart.

In fact, at this time, there was not much food in Gaoyue's camp, and now it was with the power of pacifying Huaixi, so that the Xuanwu army was silent, but if it was a hard attack on Biancheng, it was not realistic, he said to Ju Wenzhen at this moment: "Please go back and tell the Xuanwu army that Han Hong can succeed as a soldier and horse envoy, and I will let the court choose a minister who is kind and forgiving to come out of the town of Biansong, and they can rest assured." ”

"Who is Ji Gongke? Let's make Xuanwu Town stable as soon as possible. However, Liu Shining must not, if he returns, it will only directly provoke a mutiny. ”

Gao Yue said, how did Shannan Dongdao make Dong Jin.

If Dong Jin came to Biansong, it would be logical for Yu Di to take over Shannan Dongdao.

Ju Wenzhen frowned and said, "Gong Dong seems to be too lenient, how can he suppress this group of jackals, tigers and leopards?" ”

"Combining rigidity and softness, I asked the prison envoy to assist Dong Gong." Gao Yue replied.

Sure enough, when Ju Wenzhen returned to the city and conveyed Gao Yue's proposal, the Xuanwu soldiers were ecstatic, saying that we have been thinking about Dong Gong for a long time, like a dry grass looking forward to the spring rain, and then we are willing to serve Dong Gong's festival and serve the country!

This happy atmosphere soon spread to Songzhou.

The Xuanwu soldiers of Songzhou immediately forced to kill the "traitor" Liu Yihuai, cut off his head, put him in a boat and sailed against the water, and also sent it to Gao Yue's camp.
