When returning to Linhu City from Jinling, Long Chen happened to meet Ji Zhang.
After some pleasantries, Ji Zhang thanked Long Chen for giving him the skills and said that his cultivation had improved a lot.
He also asked Long Chen if there was anything he could do for him?
It happened that Long Chen needed someone to defend Jinling, so he asked Ji Zhang to defend Jinling.
After Zhong Gui's army arrived, Ji Zhang led his men into the camp to assassinate him. Zhong Gui and the general were killed.
Ji Zhang led his men to disrupt the military camp again, creating opportunities for Liu Lan and Song Ding to fight.
Ji Zhang's cultivation level is not low. As long as he is not a ghost fetus and Li Chengdao comes in person, he can kill him.
As for Liu Lan and Song Ding, the person who took action was naturally Yu Fuguo.
Long Chen must be in control of helping Li Zhaoliang ascend to the throne of emperor.
There was no one available in the palace, and the only minister available was Huairen, who was just a civil servant.
Long Chen wants to control all the troops in Jinling, so Liu Lan and Song Ding must die.
And tonight's melee is a perfect opportunity.
Yu Fuguo infiltrated into the army and took the opportunity to assassinate the two people, and things would be easier to handle after that.
After a night of melee, the garrison and the imperial army returned victorious. When Li Zhaoliang greeted them at the west gate, they found that both of them were dead.
Li Zhaoliang asked what was going on, and a young general came forward and reported: "The battle last night was very fierce. There were hidden masters in the enemy camp. Eunuch Liu and Commander Song were both killed."
This young general is from Xichang and his name is Fang Zhen.
Li Zhaoliang asked in surprise: "Besides Zhong Gui, are there any masters?"
Fang Zhen replied: "Yes, that man killed Eunuch Liu and Commander Song."
Huairen asked anxiously: "Where has that person gone? Is he dead?"
Fang Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't know, our army won a great victory, that man should be dead."
Li Zhaoliang looked solemn and said: "Our army has won a great victory, God bless Daliang, let's have a celebration banquet!"
In any case, this defensive battle was won and Li Zhaoliang gained a firm foothold, which is worthy of celebration.
The army immediately returned to the city. Everyone knew that Li Zhaoliang defeated Li Chengdao's army, and all the officials in the city were shocked.
Li Chengdao was good at using troops, while Li Zhaoliang was just a wealthy prince with only a garrison and a forbidden army. He never expected to win.
Those ministers who were wavering and wanted to surrender were wondering whether they should contact Li Chengdao.
While the army was celebrating their victory, Li Zhaoliang hurried back to the palace and immediately sent someone to discuss matters with Yu Fuguo.
Soon, Yu Fuguo arrived at the imperial study, and Li Zhaoliang asked: "What happened last night? Why were Liu Lan and Song Ding killed in battle?" Bayi Chinese website
Yu Fuguo looked sad and replied: "Your Majesty... Shadow Dragon was killed in battle!"
Li Zhaoliang was stunned and asked in shock: "How is it possible, Shadow Dragon's cultivation level is so high!"
The thing I was most worried about happened.
When he heard that Liu Lan and Song Ding died in battle, Li Zhaoliang was most worried about something happening to Shadow Dragon.
He had been praying secretly, hoping that Shadow Dragon would be fine.
Yu Fuguo cried with red eyes: "After Shadow Dragon assassinated Zhong Gui last night, he was charging in the army when he saw Eunuch Liu and Commander Song being killed. Shadow Dragon fought with that man and both died in battle."
Li Zhaoliang sighed: "How could this happen?"
Yu Fuguo wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, my condolences, the officers and soldiers defeated Zhong Gui, and Shadow Dragon died a worthy death."
Li Zhaoliang lamented: "When I was about to rely on Shadow Dragon, he left me..."
Liao Houqi became more and more frightened. He had seen Shadow Dragon's methods before, and even such powerful people were killed in battle.
Controlling military power may seem like a blessing, but in fact it puts oneself on the verge of life and death.
"The three important ministers I relied on were all killed in battle...what can we do?"
Li Zhaoliang felt that no one was available around him, and he was very anxious.
Yu Fuguo paid homage and said, "There are many capable ministers in the prince's palace. This old slave feels that Eunuch Liao..."
Liao Houqi immediately said: "Old Master Yu, I'm sorry. I've never led an army and I really don't know anything about the military."
Li Zhaoliang glanced at Liao Houqi and said: "For this matter...I'm afraid I have to trouble Mr. Yu to select someone."
Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I have already recommended a group of people. If you recommend more people to lead the garrison and the Forbidden Army, it will lead to rumors. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
Li Zhaoliang shook his head and said: "Who can say that, who knows that Mr. Yu is by my side!"
"Daliang is about to rely on father-in-law, so father-in-law Yu must not doubt himself."
Yu Fuguo still refused and said: "It's inappropriate. I don't want to bear the bad reputation."
Li Zhaoliang said displeasedly: "Can't you bear the bad name for the imperial court?"
Yu Fuguo looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before bowing: "Old slave, I accept the order."
Li Zhaoliang urged: "Recommend suitable candidates to command the garrison and the forbidden army within three days without delay."
Yu Fuguo bowed and resigned.
After they left, Li Zhaoliang asked: "Why don't you want to lead the army again?"
Liao Houqi hesitated and said: "I don't know how..."
Li Zhaoliang snorted coldly: "You just saw them die in battle, so you don't want them any more."
Liao Houqi was speechless...
...
When Yu Fuguo returned to Qijia Liquor Shop, Lu Ji quickly came over and asked, "Father-in-law, are you okay?"
Yu Fuguo sat down with a smile and said: "What can happen to our family? Your Excellency is really clever. Everything is in his plan."
Lu Ji poured tea for Yu Fuguo and said with a smile, "That's why Mr. Yu did his job well."
Yu Fuguo shook his head and sighed: "Step by step, the emperor looks like he belongs to Li Zhaoliang, but in fact he belongs to King Wu."
Lu Ji said: "The New Army, the garrison, and the Forbidden Army are all under our control, and Jinling City is under our control."
Yu Fuguo said: "Choose two people immediately, and in two days our family will recommend them to Li Zhaoliang."
Lu Ji went to select someone immediately.
...
Qingren County.
News of Zhong Gui's defeat soon arrived. Li Chengdao looked extremely ugly when he heard that Zhong Gui had been killed and his army was defeated.
"Long Chen is in Linhu City, who can kill Zhong Gui among a hundred thousand troops?"
"Di Luoxi? Di Lingyi? No, they never left."
After Zhong Gui set off, Li Chengdao had been paying attention to the developments in Linhu City.
If Long Chen leaves, or Di Luoxi takes action, Li Chengdao will set off immediately.
But Linhu City was very quiet, Long Chen was in the city, and no one else moved.
Who killed Zhong Gui? Is it Yufu Country? Impossible, Yufu Country and Zhong Gui have similar cultivation levels.
He Mengsheng hurriedly came in and paid homage: "Your Majesty, the Holy Son invites you to come over and discuss matters."
Li Chengdao understood what was going on and immediately entered the palace.
Guitai looked at Li Chengdao coldly and said sarcastically: "One hundred thousand elite soldiers were defeated by 10,000 weak soldiers, and Zhong Gui was killed. What are you going to do?"
Li Chengdao was a little helpless and said: "Long Chen still has secret forces. This attack must be from Long Chen. We don't know this person."
Guitai also felt strange. All the generals under Long Chen were in Linhu City. How could there be anyone there?
"Go and find out who it is."
Guite gave the order, and Li Chengdao immediately bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Guitai returned to the previous topic and asked: "What are you going to do? If you can't defeat it with your elite soldiers, Jinling City will be destroyed in a blink of an eye."
(It’s positive now, so I’m taking a day off and will resume tomorrow. Sorry, dear readers.)
