Chapter 229: Counterinsurgency

Seeing that Fang Tong was taken by Li Gengyun and them, those Xiangzhou troops were also surprised, Fang Tong was not thin on weekdays, and heard Li Gengyun say that if he didn't surrender, he would kill Fang Tong.

"We surrender, we surrender!"

The remaining Xiangzhou troops dropped their sabers and gave up resistance, while raising their hands and squatting on the ground.

"Whew!"

Li Gengyun saw that all the Xiangzhou troops had surrendered, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's finally over!" ”

For Li Gengyun, this day was the longest day he had ever experienced, and it was also the most painful day for him.

What was supposed to be a perfect marriage proposal turned out to be a sad goodbye. Originally, Fang Tong's plan was to kill him, but fortunately, he had a martial vein to protect his body, and he didn't let Fang Tong and them succeed, but Lin Wanyu was a loss of fragrance and jade, and completely left this world.

The breath in his heart suddenly relaxed, and the martial veins of the body protection were also relaxed, Li Gengyun suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person fell to the ground as if he had lost his backbone.

"Hey!"

He Cangwu also sighed when he saw Li Gengyun fainting, and then said to the shadow guards to take He Jin away, and at the same time said to the surrendered Xiangzhou army and the remaining White Lotus Sect members: "Let them rest well!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziyi and the others were also injured, but the injuries were not serious, they only temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and after a period of rest, they were barely able to move.

Relatively speaking, the least injured was Ma Wenlong, and after he stood up, he began to direct the actions of those Xiangzhou troops and ordered them to clean up the battlefield.

Twenty thousand Xiangzhou troops had gathered outside the city, and they had originally come to ambush Li Gengyun and them according to Fang Tong's orders, but now the situation has completely changed, Fang Tong has been taken, and now Ma Wenlong has become the highest military division commander in Xiangyang City, so they have given up the task and surrendered.

Ma Wenlong and Zhao Ziyi began to incorporate the Xiangzhou army in the city, reorganized the army, and each led 10,000 horses to garrison the four city gates.

Zhao Zhen arranged for Lin Sen to come to investigate the situation, and after learning that Fang Tong had been taken, it was convenient for Lin Sen and Xiangrui to return to Xiangyang City. After that, they organized a team of soldiers, searched for the real heirloom jade seal and the edict from Fang Tong's house, returned to the palace again, and began to prepare for the liquidation of Fang Tong's affairs.

He Cangwu arranged for the shadow guard to take He Jin away, leaving a letter to Li Gengyun and then leaving. As for the Lord of the War Seal, He Cangwu thought that the other party was involved in Yundu Mountain, and if he was killed, I was afraid that Yundu Mountain would never give up, so he arranged for a few people to leave Xiangyang City with the Lord of War Seal, waiting for the people from Yundu Mountain to take him away.

Fang Tong's rebellion, if it succeeds, the biggest beneficiary is Yundu Mountain, but now the result is that Fang Tong was captured, the battle seal master was seriously injured, although Yundu Mountain lost a battle seal master, but at least they also knew that if they really wanted to obtain greater benefits, it would not work with this method, which was equivalent to He Cangwu giving Yundu Mountain a warning.

By the time dawn, Xiangyang City had been completely under the control of Zhao Zhen and them, and the top military commander of the Xiangzhou Army had also changed from Fang Tong to Ma Wenlong and Zhao Ziyi, and the military advisor was still Guo Feng, but he was still unconscious.

"Fang Tong, I know that you disagree with my father's politics, but I have always thought that you are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but what I didn't expect was that you would rebel! You, let me down so much! ”

Zhao Zhen sat in the seat of the high hall, facing Fang Tong, who was tied up strictly, she also felt a little distressed, she really didn't expect that this Great Song Xiangzhou assassin would choose to rebel.

"Confused by the traitor, Yundu Mountain and Liu Gonggong's conditions are too tempting. I didn't hold on. ”

What Fang Tong said about the traitor's confusion was the flattering words of the Lord of War Seal and Gonggong Liu, using the world as bait, this condition is really very tempting. Fang Tong has been running Xiangzhou for more than ten years, quite popular, leading the people of Xiangzhou to get rich, and in the prosperous era, he is definitely a capable minister who governs the world. But if there is chaos today, the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil, the royal family is slaughtered, and the only remaining Liu Song royal bloodline is still in Nanzhou. But King Tianping did not correct his name, if Fang Tong won the Jade Seal of the Inheritance Kingdom, coupled with the support of Gonggong Liu and Yundu Mountain, he did have the capital to compete for the world.

People always have desires, Fang Tong has been operating in Xiangzhou for so many years, and has made remarkable political achievements, if there is no invasion of the Northern Yuan, maybe in two years, he will be able to go to the imperial city and directly become the minister of the Son of Heaven, and he will also be able to fight his political opponent Zhao Mei. But all this is just hypothetical, he was in the prime of life, the Northern Yuan invaded the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Central Plains are all in the hands of the Northern Yuan. After Zhao Zhen came to Xiangzhou, he also thought about the Empress Xi to order the world, but he did not choose to do so in the end because he had political consciousness, he thought that the prestige of the queen was too weak now, coupled with the strong Northern Yuan, and the Southern Chu was also eyeing him, as well as Hua Teng of Nanzhou, and Zhao Mei were originally friends, if he did something to coerce the queen, this matter would be spread, then he would become the target of public criticism. So he has always been very respectful to Zhao Zhen, but the military power of Xiangzhou has never relaxed for a moment.

After Li Gengyun took He Jin and Ma Wenlong to Xiangzhou, the Xiangzhou army, which was originally lacking generals, suddenly had the addition of generals, and then Li Gengyun's ambush plan also shocked him, he originally thought that with Li Gengyun's assistance, coupled with the addition of those generals, he could sit back and relax as a general, as long as nothing went wrong, in the future, he would recover the Great Song Dynasty, and he would definitely become the minister of the Great Song Dynasty because of his meritorious support. Therefore, he has always been polite to Li Gengyun, letting everyone know that he is a person who understands righteousness.

It wasn't until Gonggong Liu and the Lord of the Battle Seal came to Xiangzhou, especially when Gonggong Liu had a real jade seal in his hand, that the little greed that had been silent in his heart suddenly rose again. The three of them talked in the mansion for a night, and Gonggong Liu designed for him how to seize power, how to eliminate Zhao Zhen's forces, and how to become the overlord of one party.

It also happened that Zhao Zhen married Li Gengyun and Lin Wanyu, and heard Fang Quan say that Li Gengyun was secretly preparing to propose marriage in the past two days, and at the same time, he came to inform him today that he would lend him the East Gate for an hour. Fang informed that the time had come, and he arranged for someone to inform Zhao Zhen that at dusk, Li Gengyun would propose to Lin Wanyu at the east gate and lead them out of the palace, and on the other hand, he arranged for the lord of the battle seal to set up an ambush in the hidden place of the east gate, and strive to kill Li Gengyun and them all at the east gate in one fell swoop.

This is where what happened at the East Gate later.
