"take away!"
Xin Xingzong told his soldiers that this was the official position of Jiedushi, which would allow him to reach the sky in one step and be promoted to more than twenty levels in a row.
"Han Shizhong, you lead your troops to attack this general. This general will be tolerant and will not care about you. You can continue to hunt down the remnants of the Ming Cult!"
Xin Xingzong was in a good mood at this time and was not prepared to get into any more entanglements with Han Shizhong. He just said a few words and left with his army. Now he just wanted to go back to Hangzhou to claim credit and reward. He was not interested in the other small fish and shrimps of the Mingjiao.
Seeing Xin Xingzong marching away with his army, Han Shizhong was trembling with anger, but he was helpless.
Han Shizhong's face burned as he thought about what Sun Lei had just said, as if he had been slapped in public.
"Help the brothers collect the bodies, let's go seek justice!"
Seeing that the soldiers were dejected, Han Shizhong immediately shouted that this matter must not be let go like this.
"You really got it right! This Xin Xingzong is really not a thing!"
Yue Fei said with a cold voice, Xin Xingzong was despicable enough to steal military honors, but he actually killed his soldiers, which was simply worse than a pig or a dog.
"You, you have so little experience! This is just the tip of the iceberg in the darkness of officialdom. You just killed dozens of people. Do you know what it means to kill a good person and take credit for it?"
Sun Lei smiled and said, "Yue Fei, a novice in officialdom, really doesn't understand anything."
Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Qin Ming and others all shook their heads and said nothing. It is a shame in the army to kill good people and take credit for their merits.
"The officers and soldiers have left, it's time for us to leave too!"
Sun Lei said.
"Won't the officers and soldiers come again?"
Yue Fei asked doubtfully, Sun Lei said he wanted to help the Mingjiao delay some time.
"No, the officers and soldiers know we are here and won't dare to come for a while. Moreover, Xin Xingzong is now focused on going back to ask for rewards and receive merit. Han Shizhong is angry again. Who has time to come to us?"
Sun Lei said with a smile, he would not wait here long, if he was surrounded, it would be over.
…
"Haha, Fang La is here!"
Xin Xingzong laughed proudly.
"General Xin, there is still Fang Tianding!"
Someone immediately reminded that Fang La was dead and Fang Tianding was still alive.
"What do you mean?"
Xin Xingzong frowned and asked, "They are all rebels and have military merits. Just hand them over, and they will not be executed in Lingchi."
"But that guy kept saying that Sun Lei was in front, and it was Sun Lei who killed Fang La!"
The general whispered, Fang Tianding is the holy son of Mingjiao and the prince of Fang La's puppet country. Now that Fang La is dead, Fang Tianding is the biggest fish. This kind of person will definitely be brought to trial by the Ministry of Human Punishment, and the emperor will definitely pay attention.
"Um?"
Xin Xingzong immediately understood the meaning of his men. Sun Lei was a more powerful rebel than Fang La. He caused more trouble and offended more people. If the emperor knew that Sun Lei was in front of him, he did not go to encircle and suppress him. He was afraid of the enemy. He has decided to wear the Ruhu hat.
"Shall we go back now?"
Xin Xingzong asked as he looked at his confidants.
"General, if Sun Lei dares to show up here, we might as well be ambushed if we go there!"
Everyone kept denying it. They all knew how powerful Sun Lei was. Now that they had great success and wealth at their fingertips, they were not willing to kick the iron plate.
"Then..."
Xin Xingzong gave his men a look, and he was not willing to fight Sun Lei now.
"yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists and retreated, and soon killed Fang Tianding in the name of escaping. The living always spoke freely, but the dead did not.
…
Han Shizhong quickly returned to Liu Yanqing with his troops and horses. Han Shizhong angrily reported everything that happened to Liu Yanqing.
But Liu Yanqing didn't dare to care about it after hearing this. Han Shizhong didn't know why Xin Xingzong was so bold, but Liu Yanqing knew that Xin Xingzong was Tong Guan's confidant.
"Lieutenant Han, please go and rest first!"
Liu Yanqing waved his hand and asked Han Shizhong to go out.
"General Liu, Xin Xingzong is robbing military glory and killing soldiers indiscriminately. We must not stop at this time!"
Han Shizhong insisted.
"I will write to the Tong Xiang about this matter and let the Tong Xiang decide! I will give you justice."
Liu Yanqing sighed and said, this matter has been spread among the soldiers, so it is not good for him to ignore it.
Han Shizhong went out after receiving a confirmed reply.
"Father, this Xin Xingzong has gone too far. He stole military honors and killed my soldiers. This matter cannot be forgotten!"
Liu Guangshi said, if Han Shizhong brought back Fang La's body, then their Left Army would be more developed. Now that Xin Xingzong snatched military honors and killed their soldiers, this would be a slap in the face of their Left Army.
"Be careful!"
Liu Yanqing looked at his son and said.
"Father, he's already bullying us, so why should we endure it?"
Liu Guangshi said indignantly.
"He is Tong Xiang's confidant, so what if we are dissatisfied? Who in the entire Song Dynasty army dares to disobey Tong Xiang?"
Liu Yanqing said helplessly that they would definitely suffer the loss. Even if they reported the truth truthfully, they would be suppressed by Tong Guan in the end.
"Han Shizhong said that Sun Lei killed Fang La, and Sun Lei was also helping Yuandong?"
When Liu Guangshi saw his father saying this, he also knew that he was going to suffer a heavy loss, so he turned to talk about the news brought back by Han Shizhong.
"Don't have those thoughts and just attack Muzhou with peace of mind!"
Liu Yanqing's face darkened and he said.
"Why? The rebels are right in front of us, and Sun Lei has made greater contributions than Fang La!"
Liu Guangshi said quickly.
"Big credit? Sun Lei is indeed a great credit. Killing Fang La can make him a military envoy. It's no problem to capture Sun Lei and make him a lieutenant. But is this something we can win?"
Liu Yanqing said.
"There's nothing we can't take down. The morale of our army is at its peak. Sun Lei just sneaked in with a small group of soldiers. When the army surrounds him, he can't escape!"
Liu Guangshi said.
"Hmph, there have been a lot of people with ideas like yours in the past few years, but what's the result? They all end up in disastrous defeats. Both the Xixia people and the Liao people have suffered heavy losses at the hands of Sun Lei. How can you defeat Sun Lei?"
Liu Yanqing glared at his son and said, Sun Lei is now famous for his continuous battles and victories, and everyone who sees him has to retreat. If they go there, they will die.
"Can……"
Liu Guangshi wanted to speak, but Liu Yanqing interrupted him directly.
"No need to worry about anything. I'll leave the attack on Muzhou to you. Sun Lei has his own childlike decision!"
Liu Yanqing said angrily, his son is too ignorant.
"Muzhou!"
Liu Guangshi's expression changed. It would take at least a month to capture Muzhou. After one month, Sun Lei didn't even know where he was.
Liu Guangshi had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
Hangzhou City.
Xin Xingzong proudly entered the city with the bodies of Fang La and Fang Tianding. The people in the city lined the streets to greet them, and Tong Guan also waited in front of the government office with his army.
"Greetings to the grace minister!"
Xin Xingzong proudly bowed to Tong Guan.
"good!"
Tong Guan looked at the corpses of Fang La and Fang Tianding and laughed. He was already tall, majestic and full of energy. This laughter spread far and was heard by everyone watching.
Tong Guan glanced at the wealthy merchants in the crowd. These people would soon provide him with money and food for his Northern Expedition.
"Jiangnan is so rich!"
Tong Guan laughed in his heart, and the last problem of his Northern Expedition was solved. (End of chapter)
