Liu Yuliang, a bachelor, did not understand the significance of garrisoning troops, but Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War, knew very well the significance of Pang Gang's first battalion 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 troops stationed in Luoyang, which also means that if he is disadvantageous to Luoyang, Luoyang city will have no resistance.
Power.
Such a thing made him doubt Pang Gang's purpose, but looking at Pang Gang's nonchalant look, Lu Weiqi had to worry about the safety of Luoyang after Pang Gang left. If the thieves waited until Pang Gang left to fight back,
They didn't even cry.
Seeing Lu Weiqi's complexion changing again and again, and the expressions on his face also changing between different colors, Pang Gang added to the fire.
"Jie Rugong, Mr. Liu, think about it slowly. Anyway, the work of expelling the bandits this time has been completed. In three days, I will return to Shandong. However, I will also say something ugly in front of me. I will not do this."
The purpose of the trip has been accomplished. If something happens to Luoyang in the future, the general will not be blamed." After saying this, Pang Gang cupped his hands at the two of them, turned around and left.
"Eh... General Pang, what do you mean? Why are you leaving after only two days?" Liu Yuliang became anxious when he heard this, and quickly grabbed Pang Gang and asked, "General Pang, aren't you?
Did you promise Duke Jieru and Mr. Li that you would drive away the bandits? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Pang Gang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Master Liu, the general has not changed his mind. Haven't the thieves been beaten away now? The general can't stay in Luoyang forever, can he?"
"You...Liu Yuliang was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped talking angrily. Pang Gang's words were right. He has fulfilled his promise, helped defend Luoyang City, and driven away the bandits. Now you can't let him leave.
Are you forcing people to stay?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuliang, who had developed a phobia against bandits for a long time, rushed in and said: "General Pang, please leave a battalion of soldiers and horses, so that Luoyang City will be safer."
"This..." Pang Gang became cautious at this time and specifically turned his attention to Lu Weiqi.
Lu Weiqi smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly: "In that case, it is okay to send a battalion of soldiers and horses, but Pang Gang has to promise me that if he is awarded the title of leader, your soldiers and horses must return to Shandong as soon as possible."
"That's natural." Pang Gang nodded in agreement, but secretly despised him in his heart, "When Li Zicheng is crowned the leader, it's hard to say whether the Ming Dynasty will be around or not."
Seeing that the other party had agreed to his proposal, Pang Gang's face became serious and said: "Since both 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 and salary." Pang Gang said confidently: "The general sent a battalion of elite troops to garrison Luoyang. The food and salary cannot be transported thousands of miles from Shandong to Luoyang. Shouldn't it be provided by the Luoyang government?"
"Hmm!" The two of them thought about it. If someone defends the city for you, you can't ask them to pay for it out of their own pockets. They don't owe you anything, so this doesn't make sense.
"Okay, I agree. These food and wages will be paid by the Luoyang government." Liu Yuliang happily agreed, patting his chest.
Both parties achieved their goals, and with the bandits retreating, Liu Yuliang began to feel relaxed. Just as he was thinking about what excuse to use to get a sum of money from the wealthy gentry in Luoyang City, he saw a man who had not taken the night hurriedly walked up.
He walked up to the city wall and said to Pang Gang: "Lord Qi, I have discovered the traces of the bandits."
"Where?"
Upon hearing this, the three people, including Pang Gang, asked in unison.
Ye Bushou probably ran too fast just now and was a little out of breath. He panted slightly and said: "The low-ranking officials followed the tracks of the bandits and found that the bandits were all heading towards Kaifeng Mansion."
"Kaifeng?"
The three of them looked at each other and shouted almost simultaneously: "No, Kaifeng Mansion is in danger!"
In Henan, Kaifeng is the only city that can tie with Luoyang. In terms of wealth, Kaifeng is even better than Luoyang. Although the bandits have been hit hard, the rest are their elites. If they just go straight to Kaifeng like this
They went to Kaifeng Mansion, but Kaifeng Mansion was completely unprepared. Maybe Kaifeng would really be captured by them, and that would be a lot of fun.
Liu Yuliang jumped up anxiously when he heard the news, "The bandits have gone to Kaifeng Mansion? What should we do?"
Liu Yuliang, who was so anxious, turned around several times. When he saw Pang Gang standing in front of him, his eyes lit up. As if he saw a savior, he took Pang Gang's hand and begged: "General Pang, open the seal now if you can."
You are the only person in the house, so you must not sit idly by."
Pang Gang, who had his hand tightly grasped by Liu Yuliang, felt a chill, quickly pulled his hand back and shook his head: "Master Liu, it's not that the general doesn't want to help, it's that the whole army is not ready at this time, so how can we set off immediately.
"
Liu Yuliang stared at Pang Gang and said, "How long will it take you to be ready?"
Pang Gang calmly stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Liu Yuliang and Lu Weiqi, "Three days, we can set off in three days at the fastest!"
"Three days, the day lilies will be cold in three days!" Liu Yuliang was so anxious that he almost cursed. He finally suppressed the evil fire in his heart and said to Pang Gang with a bitter smile: "General Pang, Luoyang is only four hundred miles away from Kaifeng. You three
Can we catch up with the bandits when we set out in heaven? If we wait until the bandits capture Kaifeng, we will be in trouble."
"Is that so?" Pang Gang thought for a while and then said: "Well, the general will be on his way back to Shandong in Kaifeng anyway, but the things for the return trip have not been prepared yet, which will make things difficult for the general.
"
Liu Yuliang said anxiously: "General Pang, when are you still thinking about your three walnuts and two dates? OK, OK, I will send someone to deliver your two hundred thousand taels of silver today, right?"
"Then we can set off tomorrow." Pang Gang immediately slapped his chest loudly... Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urged Zhanyun! A man should be in a dangerous career, how can he let a scholar's crown miss his life? Don't you see
...The next day, on the official road from Luoyang to Kaifeng Mansion, a long team came. This team was fully armored, and the whole army was singing military songs high-spirited. At the front of the team stood two
There is a big flag, one side is the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other flag has a big word "Pang" written on it.
This team is Pang Gang heading from Luoyang to Kaifeng... To be continued)rq!~!
