Gao Jiande never imagined that what Fang Zhenhai was going to tell him was actually this kind of thing.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Before, he thought that Fang Zhenhai wanted to reconcile with him, but now it turned out that Fang Zhenhai actually wanted to seize his military power!
Fang Zhenhai wanted to reorganize his army. In fact, except for Huang Laojiao, the entire rebel army was under the control of only two people, one was Fang Zhenhai and the other was Gao Jiande.
Huang Laojiao was nothing to worry about. Fang Zhenhai valued Huang Laojiao mainly, and secondarily the water bandits under his command. Therefore, as long as Huang Laojiao did not rebel, Fang Zhenhai would not touch him.
Apart from Huang Laojiao, he was the only one Fang Zhenhai wanted to move.
Gao Jiande clenched the wine glass in his hand and said coldly: "I can't drink this glass of wine, King of Heaven, and I can't help you with this.
The brothers under me have been with me for more than ten years. I promised them a future, but I don’t trust them if I leave them in the hands of others!"
Fang Zhenhai also put down his wine glass and said calmly: "Even I don't worry?"
Gao Jiande stood up and said in a deep voice: "I was relieved before, but what the King of Heaven has done recently makes me feel uneasy.
If you don't want to speculate, I won't talk to the King anymore. In short, I agree with the King's desire to change the military system, but I can't touch the people under my command!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Jiande turned around and left. The moment he left, Fang Zhenhai suddenly crushed the wine glass in his hand to pieces!
At this time, Gu Cheng was still waiting in the house. He was sure that the two of them would fall out, but he did not expect that Gao Jiande's reaction would be so big.
For Gao Jiande, the few battalions and confidants under his command were all the wealth he had accumulated solely by himself in the past, and had nothing to do with the rebel army.
Although Gao Jiande's rebellion was framed by Gu Cheng, he did have little respect for Fang Zhenhai and still wanted to be the 'king of kings'.
He had forgotten that people would change. Gao Jiande thought that giving up his throne in the past was a great kindness, and it was also a great favor for Fang Zhenhai in the past, but it was no longer the case for Fang Zhenhai now.
The failure to release military power over a glass of wine, and Gao Jiande's huge reaction, finally made Fang Zhenhai truly murderous.
At night, Fang Zhenhai called Gu Cheng, Huang Laojiao and Zhenren Yunhai alone.
The reason why Gu Cheng and Huang Laojiao were called was because they knew about this matter before, and Master Yunhai was considered his confidant.
As for Taoist Mengshan and Lan Caidi, they are still just thugs in Fang Zhenhai's heart, and even now Gu Cheng's status in Fang Zhenhai's heart is higher than these two.
As for Ankanghu, Fang Zhenhai actually trusted him very much, but he was not prepared to let Ankanghu do this.
That guy is a reckless man. If I tell him my plan, I can't guarantee that the other party will leak it out.
As for Fa Jian, he had long been bribed by Gao Jiande, and Fang Zhenhai still had to consider whether he should take action against him.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fang Zhenhai said in a deep voice: "I've brought you all here today, and I only want to say one thing.
Gao Jiande intends to rebel and split the rebel army, and I am prepared to eradicate him in advance!"
Both Gu Cheng and Huang Laojiao already knew about this matter, but Master Yunhai had just heard about it. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said in shock: "King of Heaven, okay, why did Gao Jiande rebel?"
After Gao Jiande told Master Yunhai everything, Master Yunhai subconsciously looked at Gu Cheng.
He didn't doubt that Gu Cheng had done this. He just subconsciously felt something strange. It seemed that since Gu Cheng came to work under Fang Zhenhai, almost every major incident had traces of Gu Cheng's involvement.
This person was the last to join Fang Zhenhai, but he was also the most active, and even became one of the Eight Great Vajras in a short period of time.
Regarding Fang Zhenhai's decision, Master Yunhai rarely tried to persuade him on most matters. He was a sensible person and clearly understood Fang Zhenhai's willful character.
But this matter will affect the future of the entire Luanwu Army, and Master Yunhai has no choice but to speak out.
"King of Heaven, we need to consider this matter in the long term. After all, Gao Jiande is your sworn brother. Killing him will also affect your reputation, King of Heaven.
And once the rebel army starts civil strife, no matter who wins or loses, it will be our own strength that will be lost."
Fang Zhenhai said with a gloomy expression: "If Gao Jiande regarded me as his brother, how could he tightly hold on to the little power in his hands and not let go, and how could he collude with outsiders to overthrow my position?
If he is unkind, then you can’t blame me for being unjust!
I also know that if we take action at this time, we will definitely lose the power of the rebel army. But if we don't take action, our rebel army will be suspicious of each other. How can we face the imperial court's attack in the future?
To fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside, and Gao Jiande must be dealt with tonight!"
Seeing Fang Zhenhai's appearance, Master Yunhai just let out a long sigh.
He knew that he could not persuade Fang Zhenhai now, and even if he said too much, he would make Fang Zhenhai disgusted.
Fang Zhenhai said in a deep voice: "Huang Laojiao, your people are good at water warfare, so I won't let your people take action in land warfare.
If you can see that guy is closest to Gao Jiande, I will leave him to you to deal with. If he doesn't surrender, he will be killed!
Gu Cheng, the three battalions of soldiers and horses I gave you before are all elite, I will give you two more battalions to control the three battalions of soldiers and horses under Gao Jiande."
Gu Cheng asked: "King of Heaven, what if the people under Gao Jiande resist?"
"kill!"
Fang Zhenhai spat out this word with murderous intent, which was exactly what Gu Cheng wanted.
Fang Zhenhai turned his attention to Master Yunhai again and said in a deep voice: "Master, I will personally take action to get rid of Gao Jiande later. In order to prevent him from escaping, I would also like to trouble you to use a formation to seal off the entire surrounding area.
The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more trouble it will become, so we must solve it all within this night!"
"Yes, King of Heaven!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Master Yunhai smiled bitterly in his heart. Guangling City was probably going to bleed tonight, and even the casualties they suffered when they captured Guangling City might not be as big as they are today.
In the darkness of the night, no one knew that the killing was coming. No matter how accurate Gao Jiande's sense was, he could not have guessed that his sworn brother Fang Zhenhai had already murdered him.
At this time, there were three practitioners standing in Gao Jiande's house. They were all Gao Jiande's confidants in his early years. At this time, they were independently commanding the three battalions and only obeyed Gao Jiande's orders. Even if Fang Zhenhai wanted to use them, he had to notify them first.
Gao Jiande, and then notify them through Gao Jiande.
In the room, Gao Jiande told them about Fang Zhenhai's attitude in general, and sighed: "The King is no longer the King, and the King has long forgotten the promise he made in the past.
So what is your attitude now? If the King of Heaven really wants to reorganize his military and split up the three battalions, what are your preparations?"
Among the three people, a warrior in his early forties with a strong appearance stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord saved my life in the past. I don't recognize the King of Chaos Martial Arts, I only recognize my lord!"
If Fang Zhenhai forcibly splits our three battalions, if you want to rebel, your subordinates will follow suit!
My subordinates all dare to follow you to rebel against the imperial court, and today they naturally dare to follow you to rebel against Fang Zhenhai!"
The other two people also stood up and said, "Same goes for my subordinates!"
Gao Jiande nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yang Xin, you are not bad, I did not misjudge you, but at the moment we are not talking about the issue of opposition or not.
The King of Heaven must have listened to the villain's slander and did such a thing. After a few days, I will find an opportunity to contact other people to oppose it together. I don't believe that the King of Heaven dares to risk great disgrace to do these things."
Gao Jiande has not realized the seriousness of the matter until now. Perhaps in his opinion, Fang Zhenhai would not do something so cruel as to take his life.
So after receiving the three people's loyalty guarantees, he waved his hand and asked them all to leave.
At this time, outside Guangling City, Gu Cheng had gathered troops from the fifth battalion with Fang Zhenhai's order. These people were almost half of Fang Zhenhai's men. If he rebelled now, the damage would be greater than
Gao Jiande is bigger.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a thought. If Fang Zhenhai is not dead, no matter how loud he makes a fuss, it will be calmed down instantly.
So when to deal with Fang Zhenhai depends on when Qiu Erniang brings people from the court to close the net.
Gu Cheng just hoped that they would come here quickly, otherwise, after a while, Gu Cheng's status would probably be lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people, and he might even be considered by Fang Zhenhai to be the master of great achievements.
This is not Gu Cheng's big talk. As long as Gao Jiande is eliminated, his status in the chaos army will definitely surpass others and be comparable to that of Yunhai Zhenren.
Fang Zhenhai could not trust Huang Laojiao, Taoist Mengshan and others. Although Ankang Hu could be trusted, that reckless man's ability to do things was limited.
So it goes without saying what position a capable and 'loyal' person like Gu Cheng will reach.
Gu Cheng led Kou Andu and Chen Danggui to the soldiers and horses of the fifth battalion, held up the chaos order given to him by Fang Zhenhai and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, remember, today we are not raising the butcher knife against our own people.
, but to clean up the rebels!
It is not easy for the Heavenly King to lay down the foundations he has today, but there are some people who can't stand it. They insist on doing something to damage the foundation of the Heavenly King and the foundation of our chaotic military army. These people should be killed!
Today, I, Gu Cheng, have been ordered by the King of Heaven to clear out the rebels. It is enough for everyone to remember one thing. What we have to face is no longer colleagues, but enemies!
Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed!
Enter the city!”
Gu Cheng waved his hand and led five battalions of soldiers and horses directly into the city.
It was already dark at this time, but it started to rain heavily in the sky.
The weather in Nanjiu County is like this. It was sunny just a moment, but it will rain heavily the next moment.
Gu Cheng used his true energy to protect his body, blocking out the rain, and silently glanced at the sky.
In fact, rainy days are also good weather for killing people. Fortunately, the smell of blood is not that strong.
