The guards around Pang Long quickly came down and helped Pang Long onto his horse. They protected him and rushed out of the mountains and forests. The general was injured by an arrow, and Chen Jun had no intention of fighting. He was as panicked as a bereaved dog, so he fled to Jiaocheng. The mountains and forests behind him
Countless bandits emerged from the crowd, shouting and chasing after them.
About half way to Lijiao City, they saw a group of men and horses in front of them. Looking closer, it turned out that Wang Tianyuan came out of the city with a sentry of Qingqi to meet them. When Chen Jun saw someone coming to meet them, his morale was stable. Wang Tianyuan ordered Pang Long to be dispatched.
Send him back to the city, and lead the team behind to break up the rear.
When the bandits from Wolong Mountain saw that Chen Jun was supported by men and horses, they did not dare to continue the pursuit and slowly dispersed.
Wang Tianyuan led a large group of troops to retreat into the city, raised the suspension bridge, and ordered the defenders to strengthen their defense. Then he hurried to the government office. At this time, Pang Long was already being diagnosed and treated by military doctors. The generals in the government office had no idea for a while, and when they saw Wang
Tianyuan and others looked at him. Wang Tianyuan came to the bed and asked the military doctor: "How is General Pang's injury?"
Seeing that it was the deputy general who was asking, the military doctor replied truthfully: "The arrow wound was quite serious, but fortunately it did not hit the heart. If the arrow is not taken out, the arrow wound is in the body and will eventually burst out. General Pang's life may not be saved. If it is taken out,
This arrow penetrated the chest, and I am afraid that the blood will not stop and hurt my life."
Wang Tianyuan looked at Pang Long, then turned back to look at the generals, and asked: "What do you generals have to say?"
The generals were shouting, but no one dared to answer. Wang Tianyuan said: "If it is not cured, General Pang will die. If we retrieve the arrow, or there is a glimmer of hope, and General Pang is unconscious, I will naturally take charge. Military doctor, retrieve the arrow!"
After saying that, he invited everyone out of the room and came to the hall. Wang Tianyuan looked at everyone and said slowly: "General Pang is injured now. If you have any ideas, we will tell you and discuss it together."
A general said: "General Pang is seriously injured. If he is not treated properly, he may be in danger. We still report this military situation to the second prince and ask him to send another good general to prevent changes!"
Wang Tianyuan looked at him with cold eyes, then looked at everyone, and asked: "What do you think, generals?"
Some generals who were close friends with Wang Tianyuan said: "General Pang is seriously injured. Now the decision of Jiao City will naturally depend on General Wang!"
After hearing this, Wang Tianyuan responded without waiting for others to answer: "Since everyone said so, I will tell you what I think. General Pang has always treated us well. At this time, it is just a small arrow wound. There is a military doctor."
The treatment should be no big deal. If we report this matter to the second prince, the second prince will definitely send another general to come. At that time, regardless of whether General Pang is healed or not, the Lord of Jiao City will be someone else! Can we cooperate with him?
It is still unclear how the new commander-in-chief will get along. In my opinion, there is no need to mention General Pang’s injury for now. We will wait to see how the military doctors treat him!”
The general who proposed to report the second prince asked sternly: "General Wang, what do you mean by concealing military information from your superiors? Do you want to seize the military power of Jiaocheng?"
Wang Tianyuan said angrily: "Bah! Listen, everyone, do I mean that? I'm just thinking about General Pang. To report back to the military, we only need to report the capture of the bandit leader of Wolong Mountain. If so
General Pang was rescued a few days later, so there was no need to mention his injury. If General Pang really had a problem, it would not be too late to report it then. Let me ask you, why are you so eager to report General Pang's injury to the second prince?
, do you want to replace him? Are you hoping that General Pang will die soon?!"
At this time, most of the generals in the hall were Pang Long's confidants, and there were also three or two Wang Tianyuan's subordinates. After hearing Wang Tianyuan's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and together they questioned the general who wanted to report.
Seeing the anger of the public, the general had no choice but to apologize, saying that he was doing it for the sake of Chen Guo and did not want to violate military discipline. Wang Tianyuan ignored him and said to everyone: "While General Pang is being treated, we can only hold on and cannot come out.
After General Pang recovers from his injuries, it will be up to him to decide whether to go and wipe out the bandits."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Wang Tianyuan asked everyone to disperse. He stayed to look after Pang Long. There were also generals close to Pang Long who wanted to stay with him. Wang Tianyuan told the other generals to return to the camp to appease the troops and strengthen the defense.
After everyone left, Wang Tianyuan saw that only he and two of Pang Longji's closest generals were left. He whispered to them: "General Han, General Li, you also heard what General Liu just said. He wanted to
I will take all the credit, then put General Pang aside, and take my place as the Lord General of Jiao City."
The two generals, Han and Li, nodded repeatedly and said, "General Wang is right. I also know that Liu Tianpeng is the confidant of the second prince. He has been eyeing the position of general Xu for a long time!"
Wang Tianyuan said: "Although I stopped him today, I am afraid that he will eventually report the news to the second prince. We are worried that if the second prince sends people again, we will not be treated well.
See you!"
General Han stepped forward and said, "What does General Yi Wang mean?"
Wang Tianyuan looked at the two people with cold eyes. General Han and General Li couldn't help but trembled when they saw Wang Tianyuan's eyes. Wang Tianyuan said: "General Pang is injured, maybe someone knows about it, but it has not spread throughout the army.
, In my opinion, we might as well kill General Liu~" As he said this, Wang Tianyuan made a beheading gesture and scratched his neck with his hand.
General Han took a breath of air and asked, "Then what should the second prince say when he asks?"
Wang Tianyuan said: "Let's just say that this time it was General Pang who captured the bandits, but unfortunately General Liu was shot to death by the bandits and died for his country! We also spread the word in the army, which can also stabilize the morale of the army."
After hearing this, General Li nodded repeatedly and said, "General Wang, this is a great plan!"
Wang Tianyuan looked at the two of them, and then asked: "Now that General Liu is on guard against me, I have to trouble the two generals to do this as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he reports it to the second prince, it will be too late!"
The champion of the Li family looked at General Han. They gritted their teeth, gave Wang Tianyuan a fist, turned around and went out. Wang Tianyuan led the two people out with a cold smile on his face.
On that day, the military report sent by Jiaocheng to Jincheng stated that General Panglong led his army to capture the Wolong Mountain bandit leader Meng Qi and more than a thousand bandits, and had put an end to the banditry in Wolong Mountain. Unfortunately, General Liu was shot by an arrow while suppressing the bandits.
Arrow, died from treatment.
The soldiers in the city originally heard that the general was injured, but then they said that the general was fine and that a general named Liu was shot to death by bandits. The soldiers did not know the truth, but after seeing General Liu's body, they finally believed it.
This is what Wang Tianyuan and the generals said.
Pang Long was taken out of the arrow by the military doctor and remained unconscious. Wang Tianyuan also accompanied him all day long. Pang Long's confidants also looked at Wang Tianyuan differently. They felt that General Wang was capable and loyal, and General Pang treated him so well in the past.
, and General Wang repaid evil with kindness, and they were really trustworthy people, and they gradually became close to Wang Tianyuan, and the Jiaocheng food fell into Wang Tianyuan's hands.
A few days later, a commendation from the second prince came from Jincheng, marking Pang Long and other generals for their great achievements and increasing their salaries. He also commended General Liu and treated his family members favorably. Everyone looked at this commendation and expressed their gratitude to Wang Tianyuan.
Take a look.
Wang Tianyuan went to the prison in person to persuade Meng Qi to surrender. Meng Qi was also persuaded by Wang Tianyuan and agreed to recruit all his men from the mountain to join the Chen army. Within a few days, the minions from Wolong Mountain returned to Jiaocheng one after another.
, there were more than two thousand people, Wang Tianyuan divided them into the camps of Chen's army, and reported the situation to Pang Long to the second prince of Jincheng. The second prince also appointed Meng Qi to an official position, and also told Pang Long to be careful!
Wang Tianyuan only read out the appointment and threw the rest aside.
Now that Wang Tianyuan had subdued the Wolong Mountain bandits, Jiaocheng was safe and sound. The four cities were open to the public, and people could come and go as they pleased. Wang Tianyuan also gradually took control of the real power in Jiaocheng, and he just had fun with those generals every day.
Wang Tianyuan also asked Meng Qi to distribute the money plundered from the stronghold to the generals, and encouraged the generals to return to their hometowns to buy property, which temporarily made several generals in Jiaocheng submissive.
After the death of General Liu, the second prince sent another general over. Wang Tianyuan discussed with several generals in Jiao City how to deal with it. Some said they refused to accept it, and some said they would drag him into the water. Only General Li looked at him.
He made a fierce motion of wiping his neck. Everyone looked at Wang Tianyuan, but Wang Tianyuan looked at Meng Qi. Meng Qi laughed and said: "That's not easy, I am a grass bandit, if he dares to have the slightest interest in me
If you are disrespectful, I will fall out with him!"
After everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they all laughed heartily.
They brought General Zhang over with a group of soldiers. It was Meng Qi who was guarding the city gate. Meng Qi and his soldiers came out in a hurry. General Zhang thought he was appointed by the prince and was superior to others, and his words were a bit arrogant.
Meng Qi was about to use the topic to get angry, and after a few more words, General Zhang began to scold the general. When Meng Qi heard that the former "mountain bandit" and the latter "bandit leader" kept scolding him, he was not polite.
With his soldiers, he went up and beat General Zhang violently.
Wang Tianyuan and the generals secretly watched from the tower. Seeing that the beating was almost done, they quickly came out to stop him. General Zhang was beaten all over with bruises, but Meng Qi was not done yet. Wang Tianyuan deliberately scolded Meng Qi, and Meng Qi
He wanted to lead the attacking men to leave Jiaocheng and return to Wolong Mountain. Wang Tianyuan and Meng Qi drew their swords at each other again. The generals hurriedly stopped them, saying that it was General Pang who had to make the decision. Meng Qi put down his harsh words, if General Zhang
After entering the city, he immediately led his people back to the stronghold. Wang Tianyuan said that Meng Qi dared to go back to Jiao City, so he would annihilate Meng Qi.
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of them, the generals persuaded General Zhang to return to Jincheng first. They went back to discuss with General Pang how to appease Meng Qi first. General Zhang was beaten in vain, and it seemed that he could no longer enter Jincheng.
, so he led his people back to Jincheng bitterly. After hearing General Zhang's report, the second prince Chen Zhong felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on for a while. Then Pang Long's flying book arrived, saying that General Zhang and Xin
The leader of Wolong Village, Meng Qi, who was recruiting people for peace, had a disagreement. Meng Qi wanted to take his people back to the village. Now he has persuaded him, but it is not appropriate for General Zhang to return to Jiaocheng. He asked the second prince to send someone else.
At this time, Chen Zhong received news from Luocheng that King Chen's condition was getting worse and he might die soon. He was anxious to rush back to Luocheng, so he put the matter on hold.
