The next day, Chen Hongyu rushed towards Shangyong Pass early in the morning with 300 elite troops drawn by Yin Zheng from the Yujing Forbidden Army.
In just three hours, he led his troops to arrive outside Shangyong Pass.
Firstly, these elites are all above the blood-moving realm, and secondly, the blood of the war horses under them is extremely extraordinary, and they can travel thousands of miles a day, so they can reach Shangyong Pass in just a few hours.
At this time, the three passes were closed and people were prohibited from traveling. Therefore, when they arrived at Shangyong Pass, the city gates were closed and they could only see the soldiers waiting in formation on the city walls.
"Who are you shutting down?" At this time, an official asked at the top of the city.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that Li Gang, the guard general of Shangyong Pass, has come to Yujing to pay an audience. I am Zhou Yu, the new guard general of Shangyong Pass."
After that, the official on the city wall just said "wait a moment" and disappeared.
Seeing this, Chen Hongyu turned to several subordinates behind him and said: "Although the news of Li Liang's death has not spread yet, I don't know where Li Gang got the news and did something unruly. Therefore, brothers, please be careful."
"General, don't worry. The defenders in this pass are all drawn from the frontier troops guarded by the great general in the past. It can be said that we are all old brothers. Therefore, we have many familiarity among the defenders of Shangyong Pass.
people."
The speaker was a big man with a beard, and he continued: "This Li Gang only got the position of guard because of his father's relationship, but he himself has no ability.
Even if you give him a few years, he won't be able to cultivate many confidants, and I'm afraid he won't even have any confidants who dare to rebel with him near the imperial city."
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu just smiled. He was just sailing the ten-thousand-year ship with caution. It would never hurt to be more prepared.
Not long after, the city gate was opened, and a group of people came out to greet them. The leader was wearing armor and walking like a dragon and a tiger. Judging from his face, he should be Li Gang, the son of Li Liang.
At this time, everyone around them dismounted. When Li Gang walked up to him and said hello briefly, the accompanying eunuch began to read out the imperial edict.
The decree was roughly about the exchange of positions between Chen Hongyu and Li Gang, and the announcement of Li Gang's visit to Yujing to meet Emperor Qian.
"Eunuch Zhang, thank you for your work!" Chen Hongyu said to the handsome young eunuch in front of him.
Before coming to Yujing, he thought that the relationship between the generals in the imperial court and the ordinary servants in the palace was really incompatible. It was not until he stayed in Yujing for three years and saw a lot with Yin Zheng that he vaguely understood.
Although these eunuchs headed by the regular servants seemed to be fighting fiercely with the general's palace, neither side suffered much damage. On the contrary, the courtiers who came from aristocratic families were constantly suppressed by the appearance of the struggle between the two factions, which made
Emperor Qian firmly controlled the power of the court.
The young eunuch, who was called Eunuch Zhang, had a smile on his face: "No hard work, no hard work. General, I'm afraid you will have to work harder in the future. After all, you have to guard the Yujing gate for His Majesty."
Although he was Zhang Changshi's godson, there were dozens of Zhang Changshi's godsons in the palace, but the young man in front of him was the general's only student. There was no comparison in status between the two.
The two joked for a while, and then the young eunuch Zhang Quan faced Li Gang and said with a kind face: "General Li, pack your things as soon as possible and come to Beijing with our family!"
Li Gang's eyes flickered and he responded: "Okay, please wait a moment, Eunuch Zhang, while General Zhou and I take over the affairs within the customs."
At this time, he already had a guess in his mind. The father and his son were from Shangyang County in Yanzhou. They had never dealt with the generals in the court, so he had not had much communication with Zhou Yu just now.
Originally, this seemed to be a normal personnel change, but his father had just been imprisoned a few days ago. He originally thought that Li Liang would be released soon and resume his duties just like the officials who were originally imprisoned. But now that he has
People and carrying the will, I am afraid that my father has had an accident.
Although he doesn't have much ability in governing the army, he has a certain understanding of these disciplines.
It was only because my father had an accident that those people were afraid of losing their jobs at Shangyongguan, so they hurriedly came to Shangyongguan and took away their positions.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and led everyone towards the pass.
The city gate had just closed. Li Gang looked for an opportunity to rush out some distance, drew his sword and roared: "Come here, these people are pretending to spread the imperial edict and intend to do evil. Let me capture these people!"
Although Li Gang's cultivation level was not high, he still managed to enter the second realm of Fate Dao, so the sound echoed throughout the city, and soldiers holding powerful crossbows suddenly emerged from the city.
Seeing this, Li Gang felt relieved.
"Do you really think that I, Li Gang, am a coward? Over the years of guarding Shangyong Pass, I have developed many direct descendants. In addition, the world is in such chaos, as long as I raise my arms, I can become a prince."
Thinking of this, his expression became calmer: "What about the general's students? Aren't you going to shed blood today?"
"No, it's better not to provoke this general. Although Daqian is already in trouble, I can't bear it if I anger the general. After capturing these people, I will use them as bargaining chips in exchange for a way out, and then lead the way
Wouldn't it be great to turn our troops to Yanzhou and become a prince?"
Here, Li Gang kept adding drama to himself, thinking about the future situation and even laughed out loud.
On the other side, Chen Hongyu stood calmly on his horse, feeling the crossbow arrows flickering in the hands of the soldiers on the two walls, and couldn't help but sigh to himself that he was really rich.
The crossbows equipped by these soldiers are all Daqian divine machine crossbows, and the crossbow arrows are all second-level high-grade magic weapons. The hundreds of crossbowmen on the city wall at this time are probably all the divine machine crossbowmen in Shangyongguan.
Under the volley of hundreds of divine machine crossbows, ordinary third-level monks would never be able to escape.
Looking at Li Gang who was laughing inexplicably in the distance, Chen Hongyu had a dark look on his face. Could it be that this guy really thinks he has been defeated?
Has he forgotten where the Shangyongguan garrison originally came from?
"Zhou Yu, why don't you get off your horse and surrender? Although you are pretending to pass the imperial edict, I will spare your life for the sake of the general." At this time, Li Gang, who thought he had a chance of victory, began to persuade him to surrender.
"What an idiot!" But the bearded man next to Chen Hongyu couldn't help but cursed.
The bearded man looked up at the city walls on both sides, and soon found many familiar figures among the many officers on the walls.
"Liu Ce, Ma Xu, you idiots, what are you waiting for? Didn't you see the Major General here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a reply came from the city wall: "Fuck you, Chen Shun, didn't you see that the direction I was aiming my crossbow arrow at was Li Gang?"
