Chapter 506: Fang Ning vs. Li Jun
The sound of laughter echoed above the court, and all the ministers looked at Li Gang.
Li Gang seemed to realize his gaffe, coughed dryly, put away his laughter, and said: "Li Dashuai has been thinking about it a lot, the emperor naturally has arrangements for this matter, and everything is just to listen to what Banzai said." β
"This nature, this nature......" Li Junming knew that it would be thankless for anyone to do this, but he had to accept it.
Liu Bonan's prestige in the army is quite high, second only to Yue Shao'an, and he is also very popular among the people. In this battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, he has no benefit, and even if he wins, Li Jun will not have a good reputation in the army or among the people.
If you lose, you will be laughed at by the hundreds of officials in the court, and in front of the emperor, you can't explain, how to say, this is also a chore.
"Let's do it!" The emperor suddenly spoke: "I will give you 30,000 horses, and Li Junaiqing will lead the army to repel the rebels, but is there a problem?" β
Li Jun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your trust, Li Jun will definitely dedicate Fang Ning's head to the front of the palace." β
"Good!" The emperor showed a smile: "Aiqing is loyal and brave, I am very relieved, then I will wait for Aiqing's good news." β
"We will live up to our hopes." Li Jun kowtowed again, raised his eyelids, and glared at Li Gang fiercely. Li Gang didn't see it, he still didn't squint, and his face didn't change.
Li Jun stood up, bowed, and slowly retreated outward, his face slow and unwilling.
When Li Jun left, Li Gang's face was still silent, but his heart was happy, this time, two of the three had gone, and he was the only one left. Liu Bonan didn't just toss with him?
Many people in the court saw Li Gang's thoughts, but they couldn't refute it at this time, after all, although Li Gang was the proposer, the decision-maker was the emperor, and if he took more responsibility for Li Gang's words at this time, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the emperor.
However, the eyes they looked at Li Gang had a deep meaning.
After Li Jun walked away from the court with heavy steps, he turned around, glanced at the court deeply, suddenly quickened his pace, came to his relatives in a few steps, led the horses, jumped up, and quickly walked away into the distance.
In front of the city of Hangzhou.
Fang Ning immediately stepped forward, holding a spear in his hand and wearing a bright armor, standing there, looking at the closed city gate with an expressionless face. This outfit is the standard attire of the generals of the Song army, the only difference is the bow and arrow, the ordinary generals, either do not bring bows and arrows, but if they want to bring them, they will hang the bow and arrows on their backs, but Fang Ning is hanging on the saddle.
The 20,000 troops lined up in a line, standing horizontally in front of the city, and a loud roar roared out of their mouths in unison: "Hand over General Liu, hand over General Liu......"
The roar was thunderous, the sound was deafening, the people in the city were panicked, they didn't know what was going on, and various versions of rumors spread in the streets and alleys, and in just half a day, they spread throughout the whole city of Hangzhou.
Some people say that Yue Shao'an is back, he wants to save Liu Bonan, and he is putting pressure on the emperor outside the city, and they will not really enter the city.
Some people also say that Liu Bonan really rebelled, which is the proof.
There are various versions, and there are different opinions.
However, the first is the closest to the truth, although it is not Yue Shao'an outside the city, but Fang Ning is the same, he just wants to put pressure on the emperor and let him release Liu Bonan, but he does not plan to attack the city, in his heart, he still retains a loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, and does not intend to provoke trouble and make the people fall into dire straits.
The second theory is the most believed, because the court is secretly deducing this statement, so there is the current result.
In short, no matter what, the rumors will eventually stop, and in the afternoon, there was finally a reaction in the city, and Li Jun led 30,000 horses towards the outside of the city.
Along the way, the people poked their heads out to watch the procession out of the city.
Li Jun's face was full of energy, imposing, and an unstoppable look. It's just that his heart is miserable, and he almost goes out of the city with tears one step at a time.
Fang Ning thought that the emperor would make a compromise, but he didn't expect that instead of changing in the slightest, the emperor really regarded them as rebels, and actually sent troops to suppress them.
Fang Ning only felt extremely cold, his face suddenly turned blue, he gritted his teeth, and said indignantly: "Brothers, it seems that the imperial court does not plan to treat us as its own. In this case, we only have one thing to do, and that is to kill them without leaving a piece of armor, so that the grandchildren of the court can take a good look. β
"Yes--kill them without leaving a piece of armor-"
The high voice shook the sky and shouted, uniformly, as if it was shouted from a person's mouth, with bursts of murderous aura, soaring and burning, and surging.
The defenders who had just gone out had never been on the battlefield in the first place, and they lined up neatly one by one, but they were able to talk to the soldiers who fought on these battlefields and rolled in the pile of dead several times.
This kind of shouting alone made them all stunned, some of them were timid, and even their faces turned white with fright.
Li Jun saw it in his eyes, and understood in his heart, don't look at the number of people now, compared to the combat strength, he is definitely not the opponent of these soldiers in the Beida Battalion. However, at this point, there is no way back. He had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Li Jun came to the front of the formation, urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "Fang Ning, you are so bold, you dare to openly rebel, have you even forgotten your ancestors?" β
Fang Ning also lifted the reins, stepped forward, sneered, and said: "Li Dashuai, what a big hat, Fang Ning and I are just a deputy commander, I can't stand the pressure of such a big hat as you, your hat should be left to people with big heads." What Fang Ning's purpose is here, you must also know. Fang Ning didn't want the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to kill each other. I also hope that you will go back and talk to the emperor, General Liu is loyal to the country and has no objections, I hope the emperor can open his eyes and not kill loyal ministers and good generals by mistake. β
"Fang Ning, you have such a big breath, just rely on you, what do you dare to do on the Pope? I think you've lived a long time. Li Jun's face sank, raised the spear in his hand, and said: "Whether Liu Bonan really rebelled has not yet been decided, and it was originally necessary for the three divisions to be tried before the case could be decided, but now, with your behavior, it is enough to prove that Liu Bonan is indeed a wolf's ambition, and his rebellious heart is clearly revealed." It's hard to change. β
"Li Dashuai......" The smile on Fang Ning's face suddenly narrowed, and his complexion changed suddenly: "Li Jun, you are so shameless." If it weren't for the emperor's rescue of you that day, you would have drowned in King Liang's dung pit, I think you are a big dung and your brain is damaged, and you can't even distinguish between evil and good, loyal and traitorous. I'd rather talk to you, it's an insult, your mouth full of feces, it's better to wash it off, and then talk to me. β
Li Jun's face turned red suddenly, all along, when attacking King Liang, the matter of him falling into the dung pit was a taboo, and no one dared to mention it in front of him.
And he himself tried his best to cover it up and forget it, but now he was said by Fang Ning in front of 50,000 soldiers, and he was vicious, which made him uncomfortable than killing him.
How could Li Jun endure it, his face turned from red to purple, from purple to black, and finally to iron blue, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with rage.
The spear in his hand suddenly clenched, stabbed straight in, and shouted loudly: "Son, looking for death-"
With the words, the tip of the spear came straight to Fang Ning's front door, and the tip of the spear carried the slightest sound of wind, as if it would turn into a scorching fire dragon, shuttling in the breeze that was about to be cold.
Fang Ning saw that the spear was approaching, but he didn't block it, but raised his head, screamed miserably, and fell down.
After Li Jun received it with one blow, his face was full of confusion, did he stab himself? It is said that it will not be, that Fang Ning is also a well-known general in the army, especially a good bow and arrow, why didn't he show half of his skills today, so he hung up? Isn't his prestige too great, and even God helps him?
If he hadn't been stabbed, then how could this kid scream for no reason? But if you want to say that it is stabbed, it is a little unlike, and I don't feel anything stabbed in my hand.
Just when Li Jun was puzzled, Fang Ning, who had turned over and hid under the horse's belly, had already jumped up, hurriedly turned the horse's head, galloped back, and escaped far away.
Li Jun saw it in his eyes, and suddenly came to his senses, my day, this kid played yin for me, and he dared to deceive me.
He shouted, "ThiefβHugh away!" β
As he spoke, he slapped his horse and chased after him.
Fang Ning will listen to him, the gun is handed over to his left hand, he holds the gun in one hand, and constantly pats the horse's buttocks with the barrel of the gun, and at the same time, his right hand quietly draws out the bow hanging on the saddle, puts the arrow on the string, supports the bow with the soles of his feet, and as soon as his hand is forced, the whole bow is full.
After doing all this, he kicked the horse in the stomach with both legs. War horses are specially trained, and when the master behaves like this, it understands what he means, which is to let it fake escape.
Therefore, the war horse seems to be still maintaining its previous galloping posture, but its footsteps are much more broken than before.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded one after another, and the frequency was unusually fast, but the speed was much slower than before. Fang Ning was running away, and quietly turned his head and looked at Li Jun.
When Li Jun was about to enter front of him, he suddenly dragged the saddle with one hand, and the whole person flipped over, rode upside down on the horse, and shouted: "Look at the arrows-"
Suddenly, Li Jun was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and climbed on the saddle, hurriedly dodging. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the sound of the arrow passing through, and when he looked up, he saw that the arrow in Fang Ning's hand was still holding it and not letting it out.
But Fang Ning looked at Li Jun's appearance but laughed out loud, Li Jun's face turned red, he was annoyed and angry, he shouted, patted his horse and hurriedly chased after him, depending on the situation, if he didn't kill Fang Ning, he wouldn't take a break today.
