Because of the special nature of his identity, Xu Yan did not go directly to the bottom like other martial arts disciples. He always stayed by Shi Heng's side.
Shi Heng was busy with his affairs, so it was impossible to take him with him every day.
And Xu Yan was following Zhao Gu'an.
During this period, Zhao Gu'an also took good care of him. Although Xu Yan was the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, he had no airs and treated Zhao Gu'an as an elder brother. After seeing Zhao Gu'an's body, it was much worse than seeing Zhao Gu'an. Shi Heng's body had a great impact on Xu Yan. BIquGe.biz
And Xu Yan also had his own opinions on Zhao Gu'an.
A talent delayed by family background.
He was born into a poor military family. After his old father died in battle outside the Pass, he took over his father's position and joined the army.
Then following Shi Heng, he was defeated in the Battle of Yanghe. He was one of the few who survived. After Shi Heng was reactivated, he also got the opportunity. He rushed to the forefront under the walls of Beijing and became Shi Heng. Mr. Qian, the first civilian under Heng's command.
After arriving in Liaodong, he established many meritorious deeds, climbed to this position step by step, changed the living conditions of his family, and became a famous figure among the military households in Tongzhou.
He thought Zhao Gu'an was a good general.
In some aspects, even more than Shi Heng.
Because he is delicate.
Sometimes what generals lack in marching formations is delicacy, and they are also unique in handling emergencies.
Next to Shi Heng, Zhao Guan played such a complementary role.
After so many years, Zhao Guan's position has reached its peak.
The reason why he cannot become a famous general is because he does not have a father who is also a general, otherwise he will go further.
But such a general became the victim of a high-level struggle...
This made Xu Er feel a little angry, and he was dissatisfied with both Han Yong and Shi Heng...
Mu Zan led the army closer and closer to the Ideological and Political Palace.
No one from Sun Lian and others went to stop him.
Shi Heng's personal troops, who had been guarding the rear of the Izheng Hall, swarmed out, and hundreds of armored soldiers blocked the entrance to the main hall.
They drew their swords one after another and glared at Mu Zan and the others.
The movement outside also attracted the attention of Shi Heng and Han Yong.
Han Yong said slowly: "Marquis Wu Yang, it's over..."
Shi Heng said coldly: "Is it over? Why do I feel like it has just begun..."
After finishing speaking, Shi Heng turned around and walked out of the hall.
After Shi Heng left, Han Yong sighed and whispered: "You are stubborn..." After saying that, Han Yong also walked out of the hall.
At this time, Mu Zan had already dismounted. He led a group of soldiers and approached the entrance of the Ideological and Political Palace.
And when Mu Zan walked forward.
The commander of the Guards Corps was not afraid of Mu Zan's official position at all, so he shouted: "Retreat..."
More than two hundred people behind him raised their knives and shields and started banging them. Then these soldiers followed the general and walked in the direction of Mu Zan, shouting in unison as they walked: " Retreat, retreat, retreat..."
Sun Lian and a group of martial arts disciples behind the soldiers had their hearts in their throats at this time.
These people are not as easy to talk to as the soldiers outside the city.
These are the people who really dare to do it for Shi Heng.
The soldiers moved forward, Mu Zan waved his hand back, and then he stopped moving forward.
"I am the deputy general and commander of the battle against Annan. I order you to retreat. If you dare to take a step forward, it will be like treason and you will be killed without mercy."
"Hahaha, Mu Zan, you are so majestic..." Shi Heng's voice came from the Ideological and Political Hall.
Shi Heng walked out of the Ideological and Political Hall.
As soon as Shi Heng walked out, the soldiers turned their attention to Shi Heng.
After Shi Heng came out, he walked down the steps, and the soldiers also made way for Shi Heng to make way.
At this time, Han Yong also walked out of the Ideological and Political Hall.
Mu Zan, who was standing below, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Han Yong.
As long as Han Yong, the Minister of War, is fine, after controlling Shi Heng, the Ming army will not cause any big trouble.
After passing the personal troops, Shi Heng looked at Mu Zan condescendingly.
"Why don't you salute General Zhengnan when you see him?" Shi Heng said proudly.
Even at this time, Mu Zan brought thousands of people and arrived in front of him safe and sound, but Shi Heng did not have any fear.
"If you were the general before, the general would definitely salute you, but now, the general will not recognize you as the general."
"Arrogant..." Shi Heng snorted coldly.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers led by Mu Zan behind him and scolded: "Why, you also want to..."
Shi Heng stopped mid-sentence.
He saw Zhao Guan lying on a stretcher.
His breathing gradually became faster.
Zhao Guan has been following him for more than 20 years.
Whether outside the customs, in Beijing, Liaodong, North Korea, or even in Annan now, Zhao Gu'an has always been by his side in every war.
Although they are subordinates, they are brothers and sisters.
After seeing Zhao Guan's body, Shi Heng also completely fell into madness. He ignored it, turned around, grabbed his knife from the boss's hand, and then roared: "Damn it, Mu Zan, you You dare to kill my generals, I will definitely not let you leave alive today."
After saying that, Shi Heng slashed at Mu Zan.
Mu Zan, who had been on guard, immediately drew his sword to block.
After blocking Shi Heng's attack, Mu Zan said coldly: "I didn't kill anyone, General Zhao Shen committed suicide..."
After hearing Mu Zan's words, Shi Heng was stunned.
Suddenly, Shi Heng thought of what Zhao Guan said to him when he left the imperial city.
"Let the general follow the general once more..."
Shi Heng didn't think much about it at first, but after listening to Mu Zan's words, he understood why Zhao Gu'an said this to him.
Shi Heng roared twice, swung the knife in his hand, and kept slashing at Mu Zan, but Mu Zan could only deal with it calmly.
At this time, Han Yong also hurriedly walked down.
"Shi Heng, how long are you going to keep fooling around? Do you want the soldiers behind you who have been with you for many years to follow you to the point of no return?"
After Shi Heng heard this, he paused slightly, and Mu Zan also quickly pulled away, keeping a safe distance from Shi Heng.
He was now in pain in the tiger's mouth, and the arm holding the knife kept shaking. Shi Heng really wanted to chop himself to death just now.
Shi Heng turned his head to look at Han Yong, then ignored Mu Zan and walked directly towards Zhao Gu'an's body with the knife.
He stood in front of Zhao Gu'an and stared blankly at his most loyal subordinate.
The hideous wound on Zhao Guan's neck made Shi Heng feel very painful.
There were all kinds of mixed feelings in his heart, and he was in a state of confusion.
"Tell me what you have to say. We brothers can't talk to each other properly. Why are you like this..."
"Why are you doing this..."
After finishing speaking, Shi Heng turned his head and looked at his own soldiers in front of the main hall.
Shi Heng had no doubts about their loyalty.
As long as they gave the order, they dared to fight to the end with the soldiers led by Mu Zan.
But in the event of a bloody battle, their wealth and lives will not be saved.
At this time, Shi Heng felt a little regretful.
But his character won't let him admit that he was wrong.
"Han Yong, I am not wrong, but I can let you win, but the generals and soldiers who follow me cannot be affected. This brother of mine also needs to be buried well, to be granted a title, to be compensated, and to be the protector of his descendants. You have to promise me If you do it, I will let you win, otherwise, with these miscellaneous fish led by Mu Zan, if I don't want to, you will not be able to leave the imperial city alive..."
As he spoke, Shi Heng turned his attention to the soldier next to him.
As soon as these soldiers caught Shi Heng's gaze, they all quickly lowered their heads, and some even took several steps back.
Although most of these people are soldiers from Yunnan and Guangxi.
But he has been under Shi Heng for nearly two years.
Shi Heng loved his soldiers as his sons, and after capturing Annan, he generously awarded rewards, allowed the soldiers to have their own small treasury, and also allowed the soldiers to relax and have fun.
To put it bluntly, even if Mu Zan ordered it, these soldiers would not dare to attack Shi Heng.
But Shi Heng was unwilling to continue fighting with Han Yong and Mu Zan.
Firstly, there is little hope of victory, and secondly, Zhao Guan's death has indeed awakened Shi Heng's concern for his old friend...
Han Yong nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, General Zhao Gu'an died in battle, not by suicide..."
After Shi Heng heard Han Yong's words, he shouted to his soldiers: "Put down the weapons in your hands and follow Governor Mu's arrangements."
After Shi Heng finished speaking, these soldiers, you looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end they all dropped their weapons on the ground.
Sun Lian, who was beside the door of the Ideological and Political Palace, also quickly threw his weapon to the ground. Then he looked at the sword on Xu Ren's waist and said quickly: "Listen to the general and throw away the weapon."
Xu Yan glanced at Sun Lian and said softly: "The sword on my waist is the sword given by Taizu Emperor Gao to our ancestor King Zhongshan. How can I throw it on the ground..."
"Ah, why did you go out and bring out all the treasures..."
And saw that the soldiers gave up resistance.
Han Yong also walked to Shi Heng's side and said softly: "Wu Yanghou, you have been too tired these days. Take a good rest. As long as you don't leave the imperial city, no one will dare to do what you did before or what you will do after." Our General Zhengnan, who is embarrassing us, just wait for His Majesty's decree..."
After saying that, Han Yong crossed Shi Heng and walked forward.
And Shi Heng called Han Yong: "Han Shangshu, I want to ask you a question."
Han Yong turned to look at Shi Heng, quite puzzled.
"Excuse me, Marquis Wu Yang, I won't hide anything..."
"Were you scared just now?"
Han Yong gave a bitter smile, and then said firmly: "I am not here for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but for the success of the Ming Dynasty's strategy for the southwest. Even if I die by your sword, I will have no regrets..."
Shi Heng looked at Han Yong and sighed.
Then he turned around and walked towards the Ideological and Political Hall.
The soldiers all moved out of the way and looked at Shi Heng intently.
After Shi Heng climbed to the top step, he said: "You must obey Han Shangshu's arrangements without any resistance or resistance."
"Yes, General..."
After he finished speaking, he fell to his knees...
A military upheaval in Annan seemed to be over, but it had just begun in the capital.
After Han Yong took control of the situation, he immediately reported to the capital...
At this time, the capital was in the Qianqing Palace.
Ning Guogong Chen Ying, cabinet chief minister Li Xian, and Jin Yiwei commander Zhu Ji all lowered their heads and listened to the emperor's slightly angry soliloquy...
