Liu Yuliang, a scholar, didn't understand the meaning of garrisoning, but Lu Weiqi, who was the former secretary of the Ministry of War, knew very well the significance of Pang Gang's first battalion of soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang.

That also means the transfer of Luoyang's garrison power, Luoyang will be an undefended city for Pang Gang, Pang Gang has a battalion of soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang, which also means that if he is relatively unfavorable to Luoyang, Luoyang City will have no power to resist.

He couldn't help but doubt Pang Gang's purpose for such a thing, but looking at Pang Gang's casual appearance, Lu Weiqi also had to worry about the safety of Luoyang after Pang Gang left. If the thieves had killed the thieves again after Pang Gang had left, they wouldn't even cry.

Seeing Lu Weiqi's complexion change and change, and the expression on his face also changed between various different colors, Pang Gang added fire to the side again.

"Confucian, Lord Liu, you think slowly, anyway, the matter of driving away the thieves has been completed, and the last general will return to Shandong after the third day, but the last general will also say ugly things in front, the purpose of the last general's trip has been completed, and if there is anything else in Luoyang in the future, it will not be blamed on the last general." After speaking, Pang Gang bowed his hand to the two of them, turned around and was about to leave.

"What do you mean, General Pang? You've only been here for two days, why are you leaving? Liu Yuliang was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Pang Gang and asked: "General Pang, didn't you promise that Duke Jie and Master Li would drive the thieves away, why did you change your hexagram now?" ”

Pang Gang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Lord Liu, the last general has not changed his hexagram, hasn't the thief been beaten away now?" The last general can't stay in Luoyang for the rest of his life, right? ”

"You"

Liu Yuliang was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped his mouth stupidly. Pang Gang's words are good, they have fulfilled their promises, helped defend Luoyang City, and beat the thieves away, now that people want to leave, you can't force people to stay, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuliang, who had long been phobic of thieves, rushed in and said, "Then General Pang, you can leave a battalion of soldiers and horses, so that Luoyang City can be safer." ”

"This" Pang Gang picked it up at this time, and specially set his eyes on Lu Weiqi.

Lu Weiqi smiled bitterly, nodded helplessly: "In this case, it is okay to send a battalion of soldiers and horses, but Pang Gang wants to promise the old man that if you rebel and give the head, your soldiers and horses will return to Shandong as soon as possible." ”

"That's nature." Pang Gang nodded very simply, but secretly despised in his heart, "When Li Zicheng is the head, it will be difficult to say whether the Ming Dynasty is not there." ”

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his proposal, Pang Gang's face became serious and said, "Since the two adults have agreed to the general's request, there is one more thing that you need to agree to." ”

Seeing Pang Gang's serious expression, Liu Yuliang and Lu Weiqi looked at each other and asked in unison, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's a matter of food." Pang Gang said confidently: "The last general sent a battalion of elite soldiers to garrison Luoyang, so the food and salary can't be transported thousands of miles from Shandong to Luoyang, shouldn't it be sent by the Luoyang government." ”

"Hmm!" The two of them think about it, people are stationed in the defensive city for you, you can't let people pay out of their own pockets, and people don't owe themselves, so it's impossible to say anything.

"Okay, the official agreed, and these grains and salaries will be paid by the Luoyang government." Liu Yuliang patted his chest very happily and agreed.

Both sides achieved their goals, and the thieves retreated, Liu Yuliang's mood began to relax, and he was thinking about what excuse to use to knock out a sum of money from the rich gentry in Luoyang City, when he saw a man who hurriedly walked up to the city wall and said to Pang Gang: "Lord Qiqi, the lowly rank has found the traces of the thieves. ”

"Where?"

Hearing this, the servants, including Pang Gang, asked in unison.

Ye Bushui estimated that he was running too hurriedly just now, and his breath was a little uncomfortable, and he gasped slightly: "The lowly rank followed the trail of the thieves all the way, and found that the thieves were all walking in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion. ”

"Kaifeng?"

The three of them glanced at each other and shouted almost at the same time: "It's not good, Kaifeng Mansion is in danger!" ”

In Henan, Kaifeng is the only city that can be ranked with Luoyang, if you talk about wealth, Kaifeng is even better than Luoyang, although the thieves have been hit hard, but the rest are their elite, if they go straight to Kaifeng Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion is not guarded at all, I don't know if Kaifeng will really be captured by them, then the fun is great.

Liu Yuliang jumped up anxiously when he heard the news, "The thief went to Kaifeng Mansion?" How good is that? ”

Liu Yuliang, who was so anxious, turned around a few times, and saw Pang Gang standing in front of him, and then his eyes lit up, as if he saw a savior, he grabbed Pang Gang's hand and begged: "General Pang, you are the only person who can open the Feng Mansion now, you must not stand idly by." ”

Pang Gang, who was tightly grasped by Liu Yuliang, felt a chill, and quickly withdrew his hand and shook his head: "Lord Liu, it's not that the last general won't help, but that the whole army is not ready at this time, how can it be pulled out immediately." ”

Liu Yuliang stared at Pang Gang: "Then how long will it take for you to be ready!" ”

Pang Gang stretched out three fingers unhurriedly and shook them in front of Liu Yuliang and Lu Weiqi, "Three days, you can set off in three days at the earliest!" ”

"Three days, three days later, the daylilies are cold!" Liu Yuliang was so anxious that he almost scolded, and finally suppressed the evil fire in his heart, and said to Pang Gang with a wry smile: "General Pang, Luoyang is only four hundred miles away from Kaifeng, can you catch up with the thieves before you set off in three days, if you wait until the thieves capture Kaifeng, it will be troublesome." ”

"So?" Pang Gang thought about it "embarrassed" before saying: "That's it, anyway, the last general will go back to Shandong and stop by in Kaifeng, but the things for the last general's return trip have not yet been prepared, which can make it difficult for the last general." ”

Liu Yuliang hurriedly said: "General Pang, when is this, you are still worried about your three walnuts and two dates, okay, this official will send someone to send your 200,000 taels of silver today, so it's done, right?" ”

"Then you can set off tomorrow." Pang Gang immediately slapped his chest with a bang

"You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? You don't see you."

“”

The next day, on the official road leading to Kaifeng Mansion in Luoyang, a long queue came, this column was dressed in armor, and the whole army was singing military songs highly, and two big flags were erected in front of the team, one was the moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other flag was written with a big "Pang" character.

This column is Pang Gang who traveled from Luoyang to Kaifeng
