Wu Zheng said lightly, "Liao Zhongping once said that he didn't dare. Back then, he even took the initiative to cut off a little finger of his left hand to make a vow, but what's the result?"

Li Panyu lowered his head and did not dare to answer the conversation anymore.

"Go back, do your duty, and plead for Liao Zhongping. You... are not worthy!"

"The last general...the last general is wrong...the last general takes his leave!"

Li Panyu came out in a mess, completely different from the calmness he was when he came.

Li Yong whispered from the side: "The prince wants to use Li Panyu's two thousand men as his entourage to enter the capital... He should not force him like this, he should be soft-hearted!"

Wu Zheng glanced at Li Yong and said leisurely, "Can he be loyal to me if he is kind to him?... He will still rebel if he should rebel, and he will still be loyal to me!"

Li Yong was stunned and then sighed, "The prince is wise!"

"You just say something casually and put me in danger... are you satisfied?"

Li Yong hurriedly said: "My original intention is to make the prince go against the north and the future... the prince is absolutely harmless and in danger!"

Wu Zheng smiled, "I know you don't mean that. If you are suspicious of you... can you still stand here happily at this time?"

Li Yong sighed secretly, Wu Zheng's unhurried and powerful force made him feel like he was limping for a moment.

"The prince is wise!" Li Yong bowed, "Dare you ask the prince if he ordered Liu Yuan to control Li Panyu in case of an accident?"

"No need!" Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "What can he do... Can a mere commander dare to rebel?"

Li Yong wanted to slap himself, but indeed, he was bored asking.

Li Panyu just wanted to plead for Liao Zhongping. Even if he had the ability to do something bad for King Wu, he would not do it.

The reason is very simple. The period when a team was able to occupy the mountains and become enemies was gone forever.

Now that the Qing army has been expelled from the pass, the world is settled, and people are at peace. If the government army is not done, who would like to follow him and become a bandit?

The army is not so easy to raise. Without supporters, without food and grass supply, without response, and echoes, there will be only one ending and being wiped out!

Wu Zhengyouyou said: "Watching people as enemies, he is your enemy, but treating people as friends, he is not necessarily your friend... Zhongfu, the most effective way to maintain loyalty to his subordinates is to let the other party have common interests with you!"

"I decided that Li Panyu would not rebel, not because he dared not, but because he was unprofitable... Since I didn't pursue him and his subordinates' rebellion, he had hope of survival, so why did he still be in danger? As for his loyalty to Liao Zhongping, being able to see me today is enough to give him an excuse to comfort himself... Haha, with Liao Zhongping's disloyalty, what is the cause and what is the result!"

Li Yong felt a stern and hurriedly responded, "Thank you for your advice!"

....

The next day, Wu Zheng led his army north.

There were about 3,000 people in a group.

Liu Yuan's troops, Zhang Xinxia's troops, and Li Panyu's two thousand people.

This situation is indeed unsatisfactory. The three pieces have different costumes and the military appearance is really messy.

Fortunately, when he arrived at Xiushui, Jiaxing Prefecture, Wu Zheng ordered Zhang Xinxia to lead his troops back to Xiushui County.

Although Zhang Xinxia really wanted to lead his troops to Beijing with Wu Zheng, he was not trying to see the world, but he was worried about Wu Zheng's personal safety.

But Wu Zheng refused to accept it, so Zhang Xinxia naturally had to obey the orders.

When he left, Wu Zheng said something to him, "...Preserve this canal channel for Gu!"

....

Zhang Xinxia's departure turned the team of more than 3,000 people into less than 3,000.

The dignified King of Political Affairs, King of Wu, and General of the dynasty, had less than 3,000 entourages brought by the capital, which was indeed a bit shabby.

The key is that Li Panyu’s two thousand people are still unknown whether they are full of evil intentions.

This made Li Yong and others who were accompanying him feel a little uneasy.

But soon, their worries disappeared.

"The last general Liu Mingcheng, commander of the left army of Jianyang Guard, see Your Highness!"

Li Yong and others, who were inexplicably surprised, turned to look at the calm and leisurely King of Wu, and then they recalled it. It must be that King of Wu had sent someone to contact Jianyangwei and arranged for the escorts to enter the capital, so they only brought hundreds of Liu Yuan's troops north.

Wu Zheng asked politely, "How many people did General Liu bring?"

"Reply to your highness, our army is ordered by the general, and the main force has moved towards the Dantu. The last general leads three thousand people here to wait for the general to arrive..."

"Only three thousand people?" Li Yong looked unwilling, "Shouldn't there be more people left to guard the prince?"

Liu Mingcheng glanced at Wu Zheng, turned his head, and smiled at Li Yong and said, "This lord may not know... The last general is the commander of the left army. Today, the one who brought the general to protect the general is the most elite veteran in our army. It is heard that the general is to protect the general, and all 20,000 people are fighting for opportunities... It is no exaggeration to say that even if there is a large army of ten thousand people, the last general can still fight against him and repel him!"

Li Yong was a little surprised and looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng smiled at Li Yong and said, "Zhongfu, you don't know that the Jianyang Wei of Duke of Wei has been formed since the time when I recovered Hangzhou Prefecture. In recent years, I have fought with the Qing army a lot... Since General Liu is sure, he naturally has some reliance on it, so you don't have to doubt it anymore!"

"Yes." Li Yong bowed to Liu Mingcheng and took a step back.

Liu Mingcheng bowed to Wu Zheng and smiled, "The general is too good... No matter how arrogant the last general is, he dare not show off his skills in front of the general... Compared with the Northern Expedition Army, our army's ordnance... is a world of difference!"

Listen, listen, this guy is interested in words.

It turns out that in his heart, his subordinates are not as good as the Northern Expedition Army, not because of combat skills but because of equipment.

Wu Zheng pretended not to hear it, raised his head and laughed, "Let's do this... After entering Beijing this time, I will change your clothes for you!"

Liu Mingcheng was overjoyed when he heard this and knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for the reward of General!"

Look, look, this guy is really honest.

When they met, they did not kneel down, but just bent down and bowed. At this time, they heard that they had changed their clothes, so they knelt down.

Of course Wu Zheng would not be confused about this. He smiled and said, "General Liu, I don't understand one thing."

"Master General, I will tell you all the time!"

"Why did Jianyang Wei suddenly appear in Jiaxing Mansion this time?" Wu Zheng slowly became serious and became serious. "As far as Gu knew, Duke Wei was in the capital at this time, and it was difficult to convey the order out of the capital... Could it be that Duke Wei had already deployed it before Duke Wei entered the capital... But Gu was surprised. Duke Wei entered the capital first and Liao Zhongping was plotting chaos later. How did Duke Wei know that Liao Zhongping would attack Hangzhou City?"

After Wu Zheng asked this, Li Yong and others looked at Liu Mingcheng.

This is indeed the most answerable question. There are only two kinds of suspicions in the hearts of the people present. One is that Jianyang Wei acted without authorization, and the other is that Xia Wanchun had already deployed the Jianyang Wei movement before entering Beijing.
