After Du Chong's official title was taken off, he was still struggling fiercely.

People who came from Li Gang's Zhifu (Zhiji Si Yamen) were all watching, with shock and pride on their faces.

Du Chong was unwilling to kneel down, so he shouted loudly: "I want to see Your Majesty! You have no right to kill me! I want to see Your Majesty..."

An imperial city commander from behind kicked Du Chong in the hind leg, causing Du Chong to kneel on the ground.

A dying person struggles with great strength.

Du Chong was forcibly detained by two imperial city commanders.

Li Fu punched Du Chong in the face, and Du Chong was stunned.

A person next to him drew his knife, and another person read out the evidence of Du Chong's crime, and finally said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Behead him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long knife swung down fiercely.

With a click, Du Chong's fat head spun in the air and then rolled to the ground.

A large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, staining the bluestone ground red.

Du Chong's eyes were still wide open, his mouth was split, and his expression was ferocious.

The imperial city commander picked up his head and prepared to run towards the city gate.

Soon the news of Du Chong's beheading began to spread in Cangzhou. First, a notice was posted in the Di Di newspaper, and then his head was hung on the city wall for public display.

When news spread about the government, Li Gang was a little surprised to hear that Du Chong had been beheaded, and then said to others: "Your Majesty has solved the problem for me."

Although Li Gang was an envoy, he did not have the right to kill the prefect of Cangzhou.

If he really killed someone, there would be a lot of people in the court who would impeach him, including the censor, who would monitor the censor from all walks of life and would never let him go.

Even the logistics officials behind him may have objections to him, which will affect the distribution of grain.

In the Song Dynasty, it was not difficult for generals like Li Gang to appoint envoys and kill generals.

For example, in history, Zhang Jun killed Qu Duan.

But don't even think about killing civil servants.

Therefore, Zhao Ning sent someone to do it himself and killed him cleanly.

This saved Li Gang a lot of trouble.

Li Gang suddenly felt that Zhao Guanjia was simply a god assist.

Du Chong was not only killed, but his head also began to be circulated in various state capitals on Hebei East Road.

Wang Ke, a student of Taipei University, established a "newspaper agency" in Cangzhou to publish Du Chong's crimes.

For a time, everyone in Cangzhou was happy, and they all shouted that Zhao Guanjia was a wise man.

As for the new magistrate of Cangzhou, he has already taken office.

On September 15th, Wanyan Zonghan's letter reached Hejian Mansion.

Wanyan Zongfu, deputy marshal of the Jin Army's Right Army, received the letter and read it.

Wanyan Zongfu said: "This letter was written to me by the marshal. The marshal asked us to adopt a strategy to win over officials from the Song Dynasty, and there are already officials from the Song Dynasty who are willing to surrender."

Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army on the right route, said: "Deputy Marshal, do you have a name for surrender?"

Marshal Zuo Jianjun Wan Yanchang said: "Deputy Marshal, I do have a letter here. It was written to me by an official of the Song Dynasty, who wants to surrender."

"who?"

"What's your name... Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou?"

Wanyan Zongfu looked surprised and laughed: "The person mentioned in the marshal's letter was Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou, and he also contacted Shi Liai."

Liu Yanzong said: "I heard that Li Gang arrived in Cangzhou, and the morale of the Song army in Cangzhou was greatly boosted. If Du Chong can surrender to us, we can easily capture Cangzhou."

"Wan Yanchang, please quickly and secretly contact Du Chong and agree on a time for Kaicheng to surrender. We will send a large army to respond."

"yes!"

In orthodox history, when Du Chong was serving in Cangzhou, he had not yet contacted the Jin army to surrender.

He surrendered during the Southern Song Dynasty.

He was collecting money everywhere in Cangzhou, and planned to abandon the city in September this year and head south. However, Li Gang suddenly arrived in Cangzhou.

As soon as Li Gang arrived, Du Chong was so frightened that his eggs almost exploded on the spot.

This means that Du Chong himself will be involved in a wave of resistance against gold. It is absolutely impossible for a person like Du Chong to risk his own life to protect something.

Not only does he not know how, he also takes advantage of the chaos and then runs away.

Such people are blood-sucking parasites that live on the heads of ordinary people.

Li Gang was a staunch advocate of war. As soon as Li Gang arrived in Cangzhou, the war sentiment among the people in Cangzhou was high.

The news reached Jingdong East Road (Shandong Province), where the rebels were furious when they heard that Li Gang had arrived at the front line.

Li Gang seemed to use his past prestige to become the backbone.

At this time, it was impossible for Du Chong to escape. He had only one way, which was to find a way to surrender to the Jin army.

Therefore, he first wrote to Shi Liai.

Then he hurriedly entrusted someone to go to Hejian Mansion to bribe officials of the Kingdom of Jin and contacted Wan Yanchang.

On September 22, the person Wan Yanchang sent to Cangzhou to contact Du Chong secretly returned to Hejian Mansion in despair.

Wan Yanchang was shocked: "What! Du Chong was killed!"

"Yes, and Du Chong's head was circulated in all the state capitals on Hebei East Road."

He immediately informed Wanyan Zongfu of the news.

Wan Yanchang said: "The Song army is in a high mood for war. Marshal, we can't wait any longer, let's send troops!"

Liu Yanzong said: "The food and grass have not yet arrived, so we cannot rush to send troops. Du Chong is dead, and there may not be other officials who want to surrender to us. There is no need to rush. If we can find other officials, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Wan Yanchang said: "The Song army is nothing more than rotten wood, so we don't need to be afraid at all."

"If Li Gang is not here, he can naturally send troops immediately, but Li Gang is in Cangzhou at this time, and there is no way he will underestimate this person. This person acts vigorously, decisively, and arranges everything well. Marshal Zongwang suffered a big loss at his hands back then.

.”

What he was talking about was that when the Jin army arrived in Tokyo for the first time last year, Li Gang organized the whole city to resist the Jin.

City defense arrangements, personnel dispatch, army training, military discipline, etc. are all handled in an orderly manner.

Liu Yanzong added: "Marshal, our mission this time is to capture all areas of Hebei East Road and Jingdong East Road. We need to gather our strength and be ready to go. There is no need to rush."

Wanyan Zongfu thought for a moment and said: "Liu Pushe is right. Where can we find people who are willing to surrender to us?"

"Marshal, according to the intelligence, Zongze is based in Damingfu and Cizhou, and has established camps in Yizhou and Zhaozhou, especially Yizhou, which is located to the southwest of us. It is formed by Yongjingjunzhou in the south and Cangzhou in the east.

An east-west defense line.”

"Yongjing Military Prefecture is also under Li Gang's jurisdiction. If we find a breakthrough in Yongjing Military Prefecture and attack Yongjing Military Prefecture first, we can surround Cangzhou on both sides and advance separately, so that Li Gang cannot look at each other."

Wan Yanchang said: "Zongze built camps in Yizhou and Shenzhou. Didn't Liu Pushe know about these military reports?"

"Of course I know that, but these camps can only be used to defend the city. Zongze is stationed in Daming Mansion in the south. It is even more difficult to support Cangzhou."
