It turned out that before Bai Fan and the others arrived in Luoyang, there was a letter from the beggar gang, saying that several sons had handled a big case in Luyi County, which was related to Zhang Liang, the governor of Luoyang. After a detailed investigation, it turned out that Zhang Liang Already in a quagmire.

So Bai Fan stayed hidden outside Luoyang, waiting for the imperial army to come to help him.

"Disciple Cheng Huaimo and all the juniors welcome Master!" Cheng Huaimo led the ten generals of the Vanguard Army to bow down to Bai Fan.

"Hehe, just now Duke Xun said that he has five hundred adoptive sons who can completely defeat you. Let's go and meet the opponent for a while with the teacher."

Speaking of Bai Fan, I find it ridiculous. Zhang Liang in history was accused of treason and beheaded by the emperor because of the five hundred adopted sons?Unexpectedly, I originally thought that Zhang Liang would be more honest because of his butterfly wings, but who knew that he still liked to accept his son.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law.

Brother Maogong, stay safe! "Bai Fan greeted Li Jiancheng and the two of them.

"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, so there is no need to be polite to a son-in-law who is first public and then private." Li Jiancheng smiled while stroking his beard.

At this time, Zhang Liang was a little embarrassed. He was afraid of Lan Tianhou just after he said it, and he was slapped in the face by his strength in the next second. Lan Tianhou really appeared in front of him, and he was neither advancing nor retreating.

"Old Zhang, are you really going to tear yourself apart? Look at me, how about letting go of everything and I will protect your life?" Bai Fan stared at Zhang Liang and said seriously.

Bai Fan's words made Zhang Liang even more entangled. With this person coming today, his chances of winning would be reduced by another [-]%. The situation is very unfavorable.

But is my 20 years of hard work going to waste at this time?Why did the emperor want to take my head with just one word?Are you going to deprive me of everything with one word?

Although Bai Fan meant that Zhang Liang would give up all his titles and wealth so that he could save his life, but people who have enjoyed wealth for many years are not so easy to let go of everything.

"Master Hou, I have always respected you, Lao Zhang, and you have done a great favor to my Lao Zhang family. I don't want to be your enemy. Today's matter is a matter between me and the emperor. Don't embarrass Lao Zhang if you step aside. How is Zhang Ke?" Zhang Liang also stared at Bai Fan and said sincerely.

Bai Fan shook his head and smiled, saying that people die for money and birds die for food, which seems to be true at all. Now that the knife is on his neck, Zhang Liang is still greedy for wealth and unwilling to let go, which shows that his heart is not sincere.

"We've been friends for 20 years, have you forgotten how I am, Bai Fan? Don't mention the rift between you and His Majesty, just because you control 38 bandit counties to harm the people and collect money, you can't get over my Bai Fan." one off.

Since you insist on resisting, well, today I will do it for you one more time and give you a chance.

Just now you said that you have five hundred adopted sons, each of whom is an enemy of ten thousand people, and is not afraid of the Tang vanguard army. Today, you will bet on this, you will let your five hundred adopted sons come out and face the ten disciples behind me some.

If it is really your side that wins, I will let the imperial court withdraw its troops to protect your wealth and wealth and travel overseas without hurting each other.

If your adoptive son is not good, then honestly go back with Brother Maogong to confess your crimes to His Majesty, and I will protect your family's life.

I don't know if you dare to take a bet? "

"In short, it's not a joke!" Li Jiancheng urged anxiously.

But Marshal Li Ji held him back. Others didn't understand the abilities of the ten generals of the Vanguard Army, but he knew that he was truly an enemy of ten thousand people. No matter how powerful Zhang Liang's five hundred righteous sons were, in these In front of people, I am afraid that they are also chickens and dogs.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Liang also knew that it was not a long-term solution for him to stick to Luoyang. The Tang Dynasty was all around him, and he would be destroyed sooner or later, so Zhang Liang agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth, just because the person in front of him was Bai Fan. , a true trustworthy person.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liang returned to the city to summon his so-called five hundred adopted sons. Everyone thought he was talking about an imaginary number, but they didn't expect that this guy was really immodest. This number was far more than five hundred, perhaps five hundred and seven. People, almost six hundred, I really don't know how much you lacked sons in your previous life, and you have received so much in this life.

"Master Hou, this is what you want to compare, don't say that my old Zhang is ungrateful and ungrateful in order to bully the less, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, if you hurt ten of your beloved disciples, I hope Master Hou will not take offense. " Zhang Liang suddenly felt confident, and said to Bai Fan with a smile, as if at this moment the adopted son is in my hands, I have everything in the world.

"Hahahaha, don't feel sorry for your white-haired people to send black-haired talents later, Huaimo, you don't have to hold back when you fight evil for the country." Bai Fan laughed loudly, and ordered Cheng Huaimo and others.

Afterwards, several people retreated to their own camps and watched the battle between ten people and five hundred people in Luoyang city. General Zhang Liangfang on the top of the city was generally not optimistic. Even in the army brought by Li Ji, there were many people who were not optimistic. After all, two fists are no match for four hands.

"Junior Brother Qin Huaidao opened the way with a silver spear, and after the sharp arrow broke the enemy, the two teamed up and fought quickly."

A simple formation of arrows and arrows consists of only ten people, cavalry against cavalry, Zhang Liang on the top of the city laughs, the arrows are sharp but hard and easy to break, without the help of the follow-up lineup, it will not last long, and a team of ten people is simply impossible Breaking through the cavalry lineup of 500 men, Bai Fan's ten personal disciples are nothing but vain names.

But as a resounding phoenix cry resounded in the battlefield, everyone in the city and in the city were all stunned, what was that?

A huge phantom of the phoenix turned out to be as real as it was, screaming with an indomitable momentum, and headed down towards the cavalry brigade of more than 500 people in front, and saw the lineup of [-] prostitutes who were also in front of the front and arrow formation instantly felt ashamed. Like cutting off the arrow, it became a headless arrow. With just one encounter, Zhang Liang's party lost at least hundreds of people, and it was a second.

"This, this is really my general of Tang Dynasty?" Li Jiancheng said in disbelief.

Li Ji and Bai Fan stood side by side, and explained with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he has not joined the army for a long time. I don't know that the Tang army is strong now. Apart from the high-end weapons crushing the Quartet, the most eye-catching thing in the Tang Dynasty is the army from the army. Inheritance of martial arts in Zhongnan Academy, these generals are all equipped with unique skills, and our generation of veterans may all have to give way in ten years.

The move in front of me is just the effect of Qin Huaidao's efforts alone. I remember that Jian Zhi passed on a sword technique to Fang Yiai. When the 40-meter sword was used, let alone Zhang Liang's five hundred righteous sons, I am afraid it will be a thousand righteous sons. It will also be cut in two. "

Chapter 951

As Li Ji said, Zhang Liang's five hundred adopted sons were not enough to look at in front of the ten generals of the vanguard army. After a while, a dramatic scene began to appear on the battlefield. The goal is to knock down the opponents one by one, and the 500 people on the Luoyang side are falling fast.

"Stop fighting, let's surrender, surrender!" Seeing that there were still two digits of manpower left, a young general suddenly fell off his horse and directly threw away his weapons and shouted to surrender.

The vanguard army did not kill them all, but Zhang Liang on the top of the wall was already pale and furious. Watching these adopted sons who had been obedient to him all day were slaughtered face to face, it was tantamount to smashing his own heart. nail.

"Bai Fan, you are so vicious. Today you slaughtered countless of my adopted sons. You have to avenge this revenge. If you want Luoyang? Then use your lives to pay for it."

With an order, Zhang Liang will mobilize the city leaders to resist to the death.

"Well, you thief, how dare you turn your back on your words and show shame?" Li Jiancheng cursed.

But the imagination is beautiful, and the reality slapped his face in minutes. Zhang Liang gave the order with a sword, but no soldier followed him. Instead, there was a clear sound of weapons falling on the Luoyang city. He couldn't hold his weapon steady and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, as if dumplings were being made, the sound of falling and falling sounded all over the city. Everyone in the city put down their weapons and knelt down directly towards the army below the city. This was shocked by the ten killing gods of the vanguard army. .

"A good man is more helpful than a wrong man, Zhang Liang, let's capture him without a fight!" Li Ji shouted loudly.

Zhang Liang, who had almost fallen into madness, looked at the tragic battlefield below and the [-] troops waiting in formation in the distance. Looking back, there were all kneeling soldiers behind him, and the only dream in his heart was shattered. Hei fell to the ground on his back.

Li Ji took people forward to take over Luoyang, and Li Jiancheng and Bai Fan had time to catch up on the old days. When he learned that his son-in-law had leisure time and took his daughter to visit the mountains and rivers, the 60-year-old Li Jiancheng showed envious envy.

"You are free, kid. I have seen the power of the new army of the Tang Dynasty today. I feel old. I will resign with my second brother when I go back this time. I also want to take your mother-in-law to see the mountains and rivers of my Tang Dynasty." Li Jiancheng said with emotion.

Bai Fan smiled and said: "I'm afraid father-in-law, you will hardly have a chance to take a break. The meaning of His Majesty's sending you here this time is very obvious. After taking down Zhang Liang, you need to stay in Luoyang temporarily. No one is allowed to spy on Ji Bahuang, there must be no more Zhang Liang, before the newcomer comes up, I am afraid that the father-in-law will need to sit here in person."

Li Jiancheng was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

With a hint of worry in his smile, since Li Jiancheng came out again as the number one king in the world as the first finance minister of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that he has been in charge of the money bag of the Tang Dynasty for 20 years. The high-ranking officials and the talented crown princes in the royal family were basically all appointed, but even so, they couldn't keep up with the speed of Datang's expansion.

But the emperor Li Er never touched anyone, but he never touched his eldest brother. As Zhang Liang said before, the Li brothers have joined forces to check and balance the court for many years, and no one dared to make any changes.

But now because of Luoyang, the Minister of Finance, King Jin, was moved?Is it a coincidence that the staff is tense?Or did the emperor have other ideas because of his old age?Li Jiancheng, who has been deeply involved in the imperial court for many years, has a sharper perception than his son-in-law Bai Fan in this regard. I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will soon change the sky.

A few days later, Zhang Liang was escorted to the Chang'an Sky Prison to wait for the Ministry of Criminal Investigation to review the case and be convicted.

In the prison, the emperor Li Er went to visit alone, with the friendship of the whole monarch and ministers.

"Since I took office, I have prided myself on being kind and benevolent. I never thought that one day I would personally send the former robes to death. Today, you, Mr. Zhang, set a precedent for me to be that unrighteous king.

You have been born and died for the Tang Dynasty for many years, and I don’t mind giving up my reputation. It’s just a pity that a generation of heroes did not end well. Have you ever regretted it? "

Zhang Liang was speechless, and fell to his knees facing Li Er with a plop. It was only at this moment that he saw the former master that he truly repented.

"Your Majesty, I made a mistake!" Zhang Liang let out his life and cried loudly.

After a long time, Li Er said again: "What you have committed needs to be explained to the people of the world. I can't save your life. Before I leave, is there any unfulfilled wish?"
