Mingxuan ordered people to carry Mr. Fang, the right prime minister, to the imperial hospital so that the imperial doctors could treat him quickly.
Although Mr. Fang fainted from his anger, it did not change his decision.
Mingxuan immediately wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Pang Shou, ordering Pang Shou to set off immediately to Wang'an County to take over Ren Jun's military power.
Pang Shou was overjoyed. He took the imperial edict, went home, put on his armor, picked up weapons, and then led his escort team and ran happily towards Wang'an County.
Pang Shou rode non-stop and drove north all the way. He set off in the morning and reached Wang'an County in the evening.
The horse was almost vomiting blood from exhaustion.
The timing of Pang Shou's arrival was also coincidental. It was in the evening, and Nie Chen's army had just withdrawn and was heading north.
Looking at Feng Jun showing off his power, Pang Shou snorted coldly and said to the guard,
"Huh, look, this is the battle Ren Jun fought. He was blocked by the enemy at the door of his house. He kept fighting and didn't dare to take the initiative to attack. Looking at the enemy's arrogant appearance, those who didn't know thought they were so powerful. Not all It’s what Ren Jun used to do.”
The guard on the side smiled and said,
"That's right, the emperor did the right thing to ask you, the commander-in-chief, to take over the military power. Only if you go can you defeat Nie Chen and relieve the crisis in the capital.
However, it is not entirely a bad thing that Ren's army has been unable to hold out. At least his Ren's army has nourished the enemy's arrogance. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. When the time comes, they will definitely not expect that Commander, you will If you take the initiative, you will definitely be caught off guard and beaten to a pulp! "
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I didn't expect you to know the art of war. Being a guard for me is a bit humiliating. When I enter the city, I will let you become a general."
"Thank you, Marshal, thank you, Marshal!"
"Let's go into the city!"
Pang Shou led his guards to the gate of Wang'an County, but was stopped by the soldiers on top of the city.
"Whoever is coming, please tell me your name!"
Pang Shou took the big flag and shouted loudly,
"With your blind eyes, didn't you see the Han-character flag and the Pang-character banner? I am Pang Shou, the Marquis of Shouyuan. On the emperor's order, I have come to announce the decree to Ren Jun. Open the city gate quickly!"
"General Pang, wait a moment, I'll report to the commander!"
After saying this, the soldier on top of the city ran to inform Ren Jun.
Seeing this, Pang Shou's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted loudly,
"Fart! What the hell are you farting? The emperor's decree has arrived. If you want to enter the city, you need to get the consent of Ren Jun? How dare Ren Jun be so arrogant and domineering?"
"General Pang, please be patient. The commander-in-chief has an order. It is during the war. No one is allowed to enter or leave Wang'an County without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. General, please be considerate of us. If we let you in, you will be beheaded." !”
Another soldier replied.
Pang Shou's nose was so angry that he pointed at the soldiers on the top of the city and cursed,
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! I have a sacred decree, which represents the emperor. Who does he serve as an army? Are you soldiers of the emperor or soldiers of his army?
Could it be that our Korean army has become his private army?
Boy, just by your words, I can arrest Ren Jun and you and behead him for punishment! "
When the soldiers on the city heard Pang Shou scolding their commander, they all gritted their teeth in anger.
You know, most of these things happened to the soldiers who had been following Ren Jun to guard Zhennang Pass. They followed Ren Jun for most of their time in the army, and they were extremely loyal to Ren Jun.
In addition, Ren Jun manages the army with clear rewards and punishments, never commits corruption and hides personal gains, and can always lead them to win battles. Ren Jun's prestige in their hearts is not comparable to that of Mingwu Pang Shou and others.
Now that they heard Pang Shou scolding Ren Jun, they wanted to go out and poke a few transparent holes in Pang Shou's body.
Soon, the city gate opened and a soldier shouted to Pang Shou outside,
"General Pang, please come in!"
"Where is Ren Jun? Why doesn't he come out in person to meet the imperial edict?"
Pang Shou shouted angrily.
"The commander-in-chief is waiting for you at the county office."
Pang Shou was furious again, and wanted to accuse Ren Jun of being disrespectful, but he thought that the army was still in Ren Jun's hands, and it would be bad if he forced Ren Jun to rebel.
Moreover, the imperial edict ordered Ren Jun to return to the capital, but he was not convicted. He, Pang Shou, had no right to capture Ren Jun.
When he thought of this, Pang Shou became even more angry. He slapped the horse's butt and the horse galloped towards the city gate.
The two soldiers who opened the city gate quickly got out of the way when they saw Pang Shou rushing towards him so fast.
But Pang Shou was furious at this moment, so what if he didn't find someone to vent his anger on?
Although the soldier stepped aside, when Pang Shou passed him, he still whipped out the whip and hit the soldier directly in the face.
He whipped back and cursed,
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck!"
The soldier screamed and fell backwards, but was quickly supported by his companions.
The soldier covered his face that was bleeding heavily, looked at Pang Shou who was riding high, gritted his teeth and cursed,
"Bah! What the hell!"
The surrounding soldiers also sighed.
They had also heard rumors from the grain transport team from the capital in the past few days. Now that Pang Shou came with the imperial edict, they also had a premonition that something was going to happen.
Inside the county government office, Ren Jun was sitting on a chair in the main hall of the county government office with a bundle beside him. Outside, his escort team was surrounded by his generals.
"Commander, are we really going to this point?"
Zhang Feng asked with difficulty with a sad face.
Ren Jun smiled and said,
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me. After all, I have made some achievements over the years. Besides, they are just rumors in the market and there is no real evidence. The emperor will not do anything to me.
After I go back, I will explain it clearly to the emperor, and maybe I can come back.
Even if I can't come back, the emperor will not kill me for the sake of old friendship. After two or three years, I will be able to take charge of the army again. "
"But, Marshal, what will we do after you leave?"
Zhang Feng asked.
"You, please do your best to assist General Pang in fighting. Although General Pang is not good at tactics, he is also brave and good at fighting. Maybe his arrival can really change the current situation.
Don't have any second thoughts. Just like you assisted me, come and assist General Pang. Do your best and kill the enemy bravely. Don't lose your reputation as a general. "
"Commander, please stop comforting us. You know, and we know in our hearts, that Pang Shou is not a commander-in-chief at all. He is brave and foolhardy, and he is just a talker on paper.
When he comes, he will only push us into the fire pit. Our brothers don't want to follow him and die in vain. "
Having said this, Zhang Feng's eyes turned ruthless and he said in a ferocious voice,
"Commander, if you ask me, let's just cut Pang Shou down without stopping.
We brothers, if we join the Fengjun army together, we will save ourselves the trouble of being traitors every day and suffering from such arrogance! "
