Chapter 872: The Li Cheng Incident
In fact, Niu Gao didn't care about victory or defeat, nor did he care about keeping his name in history. The reason why he repeatedly stimulated Jin Wushu was to humiliate him because this person was the most hateful in the process of the Jurchens' journey south. If he hadn't, how many Han people would be exempted from enslavement? How many women would be immune to humiliation? How many people would be immune to death? In addition, 6 Wenlong was so polite to him, but almost ruined his life because of this person. If he took Jin Wushu back, 6 Wenlong, as the chief general of the army, would probably still not be able to take action and would give him a chance to survive. In that case, how could the great revenge of those who were killed by him be repaid?
So he decided to kill this agent no matter what the price he paid, so as not to go astray.
Now this man is finally dead, and his sins have turned into dust and smoke with his death. However, Niu Gao still decided to take Jin Wushu's body back, which can be regarded as an explanation to 6 Wenlong.
However, before leaving, Niu Gao decided to meet the leader in the water port. At that time, these people actually helped Jin Wushu escape. This was something he could not tolerate. If there was any hidden truth in it, it would be okay, but if it was really aiding the evil, he wouldn't mind killing him.
So Niu Gao led his army to the edge of the Shuigang and ordered the soldiers to report their official titles and let the leaders in the Shuigang come to see him.
A moment later, Li Cheng came to him tremblingly and paid homage to him.
"The young general Li Cheng has seen General Niu, but he didn't know that the general came from afar and had misfortune. Please forgive me for his crime."
"Forget it, let me ask you, since you are the leader of the rebel army, why did you lead the Jurchens into the water port and avoid our army's pursuit? Your behavior is to be foreign and a serious crime of treason. Don't you know?" Niu Gao said sternly and shouted in a deep voice at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this and said to Niu Gao with a wry smile: "General Niu is so arrogant. Where is the young general the leader of the rebel army? My family's surname is Han and his name is Shizhong. He is nicknamed Po Han Wu. The young general is just a general of General Han."
"Pu Han Wu? It turned out to be him?" Niu Gao was surprised when he heard this. Although he was not among the rebels, Wang Yan, one of the leaders of the "Eight Character Army", had told them some rebels when he pulled him (mainly Yue Fei) into the gang. At that time, Wang Yan praised Yang Zaixing and Po Han Wu the most. Yue Fei and Niu Gao didn't care much about it because they did not join the gang. However, now Yue Fei has become the commander of the army. Niu Gao, the close confidant, naturally wanted to win over some real talents for Yue Fei. So when he heard that the leader here was actually the famous Po Han Wu, he was immediately excited and had the intention to subdue him.
So Niu Gao nodded and asked, "Since the prime minister is the famous Po Han Wu, it is even more impossible to do things for the Jurchens. But why did he lead the Jurchens in? It caused me to almost lose my mind and commit the crime of Jin Wushu!"
Li Cheng could only smile bitterly and said to Niu Gao: "General Niu, you don't know, we are also blinded. When Na Wushu led his army to the periphery of Huang Tiandang, he lied to us that it was the soldiers under Marshal Yue who were being hunted by the Jurchens and asked us to rescue him. When we heard that it was the imperial army, we agreed without hesitation and provided them with food and water, saving their lives. But we knew that these people turned against each other after being saved. Not only did they rob our property, but they also forced the women on our boat to go and sing music with them? But we knew that our wife was also on the boat. She was a heroine,
Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he is also very intelligent. When I heard that Jin Wushu was going to listen to her singing, what would you think? The lady actually beat the war drum in her cabin, so the soldiers from afar arrived one after another and trapped Jin Wushu in Huang Tiandang. Our wife learned that Jin Wushu was going to escape, so she ordered us to split the way. The young general was unfortunately assigned here, and later she was slipped away by Jin Wushu at night. If General Niu had not arrived in time this time, he would have really let him escape. He was really ashamed. The young general was here to apologize to General Niu and his wife for us. The young general had sent people to report to the leader of the Korean leader, and I believe that the leader of the Korean leader and the others would arrive soon."
Niu Gao nodded when he heard this. Seeing that the other party was sincere, he waved his hand and did not blame him anymore. Then he sighed softly: "Fortunately, I was lucky enough to catch him, and I was so angry that I was so angry with a few words from me. If he was really allowed to escape, how could I explain this to Marshal Yue?"
"What? Jin Wushu is dead?" Li Cheng was still a little depressed, but when he heard this, he suddenly became extremely happy. He was worried that Jin Wushu would tell him about bribing him by chance. Now that Wushu has died, everything will naturally become a mysterious existence forever. In that way, he will get benefits without taking responsibility, which is really a great joy.
The two of them were talking here. Soon after, they saw Han Shizhong and his wife coming. After briefly understanding the situation, Han Shizhong and his wife hurriedly expressed their apology to Niu Gao, and then suddenly asked: "I ordered it well last night, strictly guarding the defence and preventing the Jurchens from escaping. But why did General Niu meet Jin Wushu outside Huang Tiandang? Is it because your army is inferior to him? Or are you the one who fell in this?"
Li Cheng immediately fell to the ground when he heard this and said loudly: "General, it's all because of General Mo's incompetence. He actually fell asleep after drinking some wine at a critical moment last night, so he let Nawu Shu escape. All of this is the blame for the general. Please punish him!"
However, Niu Gao suddenly said, "General Han, I think this matter should be investigated in detail. Even if the defense is relaxed, Wu Shu's strength cannot rush out. Even if he can really go out, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses. However, after I observed secretly, I found that the Jurchens were not hurt when they returned. This is enough to show that there must be a problem here."
"What the hell is going on?" Yue Fei's face was gloomy and terrible, and he asked Li Cheng with a stern face.
Li Cheng also wanted to argue that this was a soldier who could not bear it. He said that someone had visited the Jurchen camp and brought gifts. Soon afterwards, Li Cheng ordered a banquet to reward the brothers. The wine was drunk until the third update. Li Cheng forced a showdown on the amount of alcohol to drink, and stipulated that no one was allowed to leave during this period. Not long after the banquet, everyone received news that the Jurchens had escaped.
Han Shizhong was furious when he heard this, pointing at Li Cheng and said, "No need to ask anymore. You must have accepted Jin Wushu's gift and let him go secretly. Fortunately, General Niu happened to block him, otherwise wouldn't this betray the tiger back to the mountain?"
Han Shizhong then ordered Li Cheng to be pushed out of the camp gate and killed him.
