Zhao Yuan was about to reveal his plan,
But then Lin Chong walked in.
Behind him, two guards were escorting a man who was limping.
Everyone saw this,
Everyone couldn't help but look at the people behind Lin Chong.
However, Gao Kan's cheek was badly swollen from being struck twice by Lin Chong's spear.
It was impossible to recognize who it was.
Zhao Yuan asked in confusion, "Gao Kan?"
Lin Chong nodded and said, "That's right, we were up all night last night."
"We've finally caught that scoundrel."
Zhao Yuan also waited for Lin Chong for a while last night.
However, I got tired of waiting and went to sleep first.
He didn't have much hope that Lin Chong would capture Gao Kan.
Gao Kan, as the Grand Commandant of the Palace Guard,
He would certainly have many powerful military generals and guards by his side.
It would be difficult for Lin Chong to capture Gao Kan by himself.
However, his primary target was the more than 60,000 routed soldiers.
They were also unable to send any other generals to help him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chong actually captured Gao Kan.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhishen
He immediately jumped out and said,
"That scoundrel has tried to harm Instructor Lin time and again,"
"They wanted to capture me, but luckily those rascals in the vegetable garden notified me,"
"Otherwise, we might have fallen victim to this scoundrel's cruelty."
"Let me kill him with my staff."
Yang Zhi also glared angrily at Gao Kan.
He lost the tribute of flowers and stones due to a natural disaster.
He used all his savings to bribe officials at various levels.
They wanted to be exempt from punishment.
Who would have thought that Gao Kan had actually accepted the gold and silver?
But he was relieved of his duties.
This left him penniless.
Only then did he go to sell his ancestral treasured sword.
Finally, he killed Niu Er and was exiled.
If Gao Kan doesn't accept his gold,
Or they could accept the gold and let him continue as a military officer.
None of the subsequent events would have occurred.
It can be said that his fate was entirely changed by Gao Kan.
Zhao Yuan glanced at the unrecognizable Gao Kan and laughed.
"Since it's Gao Kan, just kill him,"
"What are we going to do with them?"
Lin Chong shook his head and said,
"Although Lin Chong wished he could skin him alive and eat his flesh,"
"But this fellow was a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty,"
"Killing him would likely provoke retaliation from the Song Dynasty army,"
"Therefore, it is hereby decided by the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Gao Kan quickly replied.
"Instructor Lin is right. I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court,"
"If you dare to kill me,"
"The imperial court will surely send a large army to annihilate you."
"If you are willing to let me return to the capital, I will certainly recommend you heroes before the Emperor,"
"We beg the Emperor to issue an edict to offer you amnesty and give you important positions."
"If Gao Kan goes back on his word, may he be condemned by heaven and earth and die by sword."
Upon hearing this, Li Kui couldn't help but shout,
“My elder brother is now the King of Liang,”
"Even if you, that bird of a bird, were to be recruited, would you still be considered superior to a prince?"
Wu Song, Liu Tang, and others also started shouting.
Zhao Yuan waved his hand to stop the crowd.
"Regardless of whether we were granted amnesty or not, we gathered at Liangshan in the first place,"
"Then he vowed to act on behalf of Heaven!"
"This Gao Kan is corrupt, lawless, and persecutes loyal and virtuous people,"
"They are precisely the targets of our righteous actions on behalf of Heaven,"
"We cannot let him off the hook on this point alone."
Chapter 1612 Kill!
Lu Zhishen nodded and said,
"Brother is right!"
“Gao Kan is such a treacherous villain, if we let him go back,”
“Wouldn’t we, the heroes of Liangshan, become people who bully the weak and fear the strong?”
Wu Song drew his monk's knife.
“Such a villain should be killed.”
Lin Chong nodded and said,
"I also think we shouldn't put it on this high embankment."
"But could we perhaps delay the timing of killing him?"
"Isn't it a bit premature to completely break with the Song Dynasty at this time?"
If it were more than a year ago,
Filled with resentment, Lin Chong captured Gao Kan.
He would have killed his enemy immediately.
But later, Zhao Yuan rescued his wife.
Let him and his wife reunite.
The hatred in my heart subsided somewhat.
In addition, Gao Qiu was already dead.
Lin Chong's hatred lessened considerably.
That's why he was able to restrain himself from killing Gao Kan on the spot when he was captured.
Once Gao Kan, this high-ranking official, is killed...
The Song Dynasty then had no chance of pacifying the Liang Dynasty.
Although Huyan Zhuo, Guan Sheng, and others had also come to believe in Zhao Yuan,
However, he still harbored some thoughts of accepting amnesty.
If Zhao Yuan were to bring them along to accept the imperial pardon,
That would be the best of both worlds.
Of course, if Zhao Yuan insisted on overthrowing the Song Dynasty...
They will also follow Zhao Yuan.
Therefore, everyone looked at Zhao Yuan for a moment.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "The Song Dynasty is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Apart from the Western Army, it can be said that they are all vulnerable."
"Besides, since the formation of our Great Liang army, we have never encountered a worthy opponent,"
"If the Song Dynasty could send a strong army, that would be exactly what I wanted."
"Our future enemies will be the Western Xia, the Liao people, and even the Jurchens,"
"The weak Song Dynasty is not a threat to me."
"As for Gao Kan, send word to Jeju,"
"A day later, Gao Kan was publicly tried and executed in front of the people."
Gao Kan heard that he was to be executed.
She was so frightened that she fainted.
Wu Song and the others cheered.
Huyan Zhuo, Guan Sheng, and the others also completely abandoned any remaining illusions in their hearts.
They became determined to change the dynasty.
A murderous intent suddenly arose in the entire hall.
Zhao Yuan gestured for his men to take Gao Kan away, and then said,
"Over the past two days, everyone has removed the old and weak from the prisoners,"
"Let's consolidate our forces and expand our Liang army as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chong frowned and said,
"Previously, regular soldiers all had to undergo training in reserve battalions,"
"Then, regular soldiers will be selected."
"If we integrate them directly this time, we probably can't guarantee our combat strength."
Li Kui also shouted,
"Those good-for-nothings only know how to run away,"
"Don't let them tarnish the reputation of the Liangshan heroes."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "In the future, the number of cities in my Great Liang will increase."
"In addition to a large number of garrison troops, there may be multiple fronts to fight."
"The previous method of carefully selecting regular soldiers was too slow,"
"I will make them a strong army as soon as possible."
