Chapter 349

Li Heng's eyes were full of fierce glints, and now he didn't want to talk nonsense about the army being the country's army, not Wang's private soldiers.

Things have come to this point, we can only talk about things first.

That's right, Lao Qi is someone he just bought.

It was also because of his tip-off that Li Heng knew for the first time that Du Shu had entered the old camp of the former army.

After getting the news, Li Heng felt extremely bad.A while ago, after his lobbying, Hu Yantong finally agreed to lead the army to join him, and signed the so-called confession.

I thought that after Hu Yantong, the general of the army, was taken care of, it would be a no-brainer to pull the troops away.

However, the reality is not as smooth as Li Heng imagined.Seeing that he was about to go to the last step, Hu Yantong hesitated.Whenever Li Heng mentioned this matter, he remained silent and did nothing.

Seeing this situation, Li Heng was anxious, but he couldn't do anything.Hearing that Du Shu had suddenly entered the barracks today, he immediately brought the sergeants whom he had befriended a while ago into the Chinese army tent, why did he kill Du Shu first, and cook raw rice for cooked rice.

"Decree!" Lao Qi jumped up, drew out his knife and slashed at Du Chong's head.

Du Chong is a good old man. When has he seen this kind of sword light and sword shadow?

Seeing that his head was about to fall to the ground, suddenly, there was a "dang".

The knife in Lao Qi's hand was flicked into the air, and the whole person also took several steps back one after another, and then sat down on the ground.

However, he saw that his face was flushed with suffocation, and there was blood oozing from the tiger's mouth.

Li Heng's pupils shrank, and he shouted: "General Huyan, what do you mean, do you want to reverse?"

Hu Yantong slowly put away the steel whip in his hand: "Don't dare."

It turned out that at the critical moment, Hu Yantong suddenly pulled out his whip, blocked the knife, and saved Du Shu's life.

"Don't dare, really, what are you doing?" Li Heng asked angrily.

Hu Yantong shook his head, and murmured: "Judge Du is an honest gentleman, and he treated me Hu Yantong well in the past, how can he kill me? If so, how will others think of me?"

Li Heng: "If you don't stop, you will be subject to chaos. Hu Yantong, don't forget the promise you made to me at the beginning. You promised the old man to wipe out the rebel Wang Shen and return to the court. Contrary to what you said, don't tell me you also Do you want to be a thief and shame your ancestors?"

Hu Yantong: "Li Xianggong, of course I will not go back on what I promised you. But, after all, we are brothers who were born and died together. That's right, I, Hu Yantong, don't want to be with Wang Junshi, but neither can the knives in our hands. Facing Brother Paoze in the past. Otherwise, how different is it from a beast? Li Xianggong, I don’t know if Wang Junshi is planning to rebel. Hu Yantong is the queen of Zhongliang, and I only have the court in my heart. I can do whatever the court asks me to do. But , now the court has two ministers in Jianghan, one is Wang Junshi, and the other is you, Mr. Li. I don’t know which of you is right and who is wrong, and who can represent the court. Hu Yantong is a warrior, and he can’t figure out many reasons. All I can do now is ignore everything with my brothers.”

Li Heng didn't expect that Hu Yantong still insisted on not helping each other. In his mind, Hu Yantong was just a vulgar warrior. He didn't care whether he voted or not, but these thousands of former troops were too eye-catching.You, Hu Yantong, don't help each other, and I, Li Heng, don't have a single soldier on my hands, what the hell are you doing?
He laughed coldly: "Hu Yantong, I really don't know what you are thinking. You want to sit on the wall at both ends of the mouse, but you don't want yourself to bet on the wrong treasure and stand on the wrong team. His heart will be punishable. Don’t think that the old man still has the laws of the country, so he can’t rule you?”

"Old man Li, it's not your turn to speak in the former army. General Hu Yan, now you've lost your way and know it's time to return." Du Shu shouted: "You are the commander of the former army, and you have the military power. How about you, quickly order Li Heng to be arrested. I will speak for you on the side of the military envoy. If the military envoy loves your talent, he will definitely let the past go and trust you more than anything. General Huyan, don’t be confused!"

Having narrowly escaped death just now, Du Shu was so frightened that his vest was covered in cold sweat.It was a matter of life and death, and at this moment he had forgotten to be afraid.

"Hu Yantong, you signed the confession. Even if you backtrack now, will Wang Shen still trust you? Don't be naive!" Li Heng shouted: "Kill Du Shu quickly."

Du Shu was not to be outdone, and persuaded him: "General Huyan, I will guarantee that you will be fine at the military envoy. Also, let alone the military envoy will soon bring the army, let's take your former army as an example. Will the officers and soldiers go with you, and will the Military Law Office spare you?"

"Military Law Department, don't you really talk about the Military Law Department?" Li Heng sneered and slapped his hands: "Bring it in!"

There was another commotion outside, and another group of soldiers came in, escorting several officers.

Hu Yantong and Du Shu stared intently, dumbfounded.

But I saw that those officers were all tied up like rice dumplings.

They were all capable generals under Hu Yantong, and the leader was Chen Da, the military judge of the Military Law Department.

Hu Yantong: "What's going on here?"

Li Heng smiled grimly: "Just yesterday, Chen Da sneaked into the former army and persuaded some generals who led the army to seize your military power, but he was discovered by Li. You Huyantong can't do it, it's okay, old man Help you. I took down all the officers in the army who refused to submit to the imperial court, Hu Yantong, did you do it or the old man did it himself, and slaughtered these rebels."

"You can't kill, you can't kill!" Hu Yantong waved his hands anxiously.

An officer who was tied up smiled wryly and said: "General Huyan, you are too pedantic, what kind of court righteousness, what kind of rebellion. Wang Junshi is loyal to the country and the nation, has a passion for blood, and only knows how to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Now But it is absurd to become a traitor in the mouth of Li. Since we joined the army, we have killed either Jurchen Tartars or bandits who harmed the people. If this is also a traitor, then there will be no good people in the world. If this is a traitor Thieves, is there still justice? Li Heng keeps saying that the court and officials have killed an enemy after he arrived in Jianghan? Now he wants to put a charge of treason on the head of the military envoy, in fact, he wants to annex our army. I I can see it clearly, what is righteous or not is actually business. His surname Li just wants to use the blood of our military envoy to stain his official robe red!"

This scolding made Li Heng's face turn pale and tremble all over, but he didn't know how to reply.

The old Qida rushed forward while drinking, and punched the officer on the mouth until blood was dripping: "Shut up!"

The officer was furious and kicked him out with all his strength.

Lao Qi was caught off guard for a moment, only heard a click, his breastbone was shattered, and he died immediately.

"Shua!" But at this moment, a soldier suddenly drew his knife and chopped off the officer's head.

Blood spurted out, and the head rolled on the ground for a long time before stopping, still staring unwillingly.

"Brother Lin!" All the captured officers shouted mournfully at the same time.

Li Heng laughed and said: "Huyantong, to tell you the truth, the old man has already seen that your will is not firm. You were single-handedly promoted by Wang Shen. If you miss the old kindness, I will not make things difficult for you. Now, all the officers in the army have I replaced it with my people, and the troops are under my firm control. You have to agree if you promise, or you have to promise if you don’t promise. What to do, you make a decision right now. Wang Shen is coming soon, you gather troops immediately, go west Fight Wang Shen."

The dejected Chen Da shouted: "Hu Yantong, if you have the guts, go fight the military envoy and see how the military envoy will deal with you?"

Seeing that the general situation was over, Hu Yantong took a few steps back, sat on the chair slumped, and said for a long time: "There is no other way, that's all, that's all, just follow Li Xianggong's order."

"Ah, Huyantong!" Du Shu, Chen Da and the captured officers cried out in grief and indignation at the same time.

Li Heng showed ecstasy on his face: "Okay, okay, General Huyan, give the order!" He verbally said that he had captured all the officers who were loyal to Wang Shen and took over the army. In fact, he was bragging that others knew who Li Heng was.If you want to control the troops, you really have to rely on Hu Yantong's prestige to suppress them.

Without Huyantong, he can't do anything.

Hu Yantong: "However, I can't kill anyone anymore, they are all my brothers, how can I bear it?"

Li Heng nodded: "The heads of these people are temporarily placed on the neck, and they will be imprisoned first." With a wave of his hand, two soldiers rushed up and cut Du Shu's hands.

Hu Yantong: "Also... I am ashamed of Wang Junshi, I don't want to meet him on the battlefield, and... I will not go to fight Anlu City."

"You!" Li Heng was so angry that his eyes were burning. If he didn't attack Anlu City, he would not have a stable base in Jianghan.Moreover, the wealth and military resources in Anlu City are piled up like a mountain, which is the capital for him to gain a foothold in Jinghu.

Isn't all the arrangements I have made just to take down Anlu City?
However, the army only listened to Hu Yantong, and he had nothing to do if he didn't do it.

As for the duel with Wang Shen on the battlefield, after seeing the strength of the Sizhou army, Li Heng had already lost his courage, and Wang Shen would naturally disappear if he could not see him.

After thinking about it, Li Heng could only nod his head and pretended to be straightforward: "Okay, I agree to you. However, since the former army has returned to the imperial court's army ranks, and now that Anlu is in danger, we can no longer be here Stay here. General Huyan is also requested to leave the stronghold and set off immediately, and I will meet General Li Cheng at Yunmeng."

Hu Yantong nodded, with a dejected look on his face: "Okay, that's it!"

Du Shu, Chen Da and others scolded at the same time: "Little man, villain, Hu Yantong, you wolf cub, you beast!"

Hu Yantong sighed: "Stop their mouths, don't abuse them."

The Sizhou Army has a strict hierarchy and prohibits orders.The soldiers only obey the orders of their superiors, and they will do whatever the superiors call them.They also didn't know anything about the voice of the upper-level officers. After hearing the military order, the elite troops immediately packed up and marched south.

Everything seems to be in order.
