Chapter 760: Regaining Power
Yan Gang, with a hundred personal soldiers, and the three men quickly rushed to Gongsun Fan's mansion.

As the incident at the city gate happened suddenly, the guards in the mansion were unaware of the situation. When they saw them rushing in, they hurried forward to stop them.

"Why did you trespass into the lord's mansion? Why don't you leave?"

"Go away!"

Chang Sheng and the other three looked impatient. They rushed forward and chopped down the guards.

As soon as there was any movement at the door, all the guards in the mansion swarmed in.

"Fuck them all!"

Yan Gang could no longer wait and gave an order to the hundred soldiers around him, and the two sides engaged in a fight.

Relying on their outstanding martial arts, Chang Sheng and the other two charged in one direction at the same time and quickly carved out a bloody path.

"General, come this way. We need to take care of business first. We can't fight here any longer."

Chang Sheng turned around and shouted, and Yan Gang broke away from the battle in front of him and soon reunited with the three people.

The four of them wandered around the mansion for a long time. Fortunately, Yan Gang knew the way, and soon they arrived at the door of a small house.

The four men rushed forward and hacked to death the guards at the door, kicked the door open, and saw a tunnel inside. Without any hesitation, they ran down.

Under the tunnel was a dim cell. From inside the cell came all kinds of painful groans and screams, as well as the sounds of whipping and iron chains dragging on the ground.

Without waiting for the guards inside to react, Chang Sheng and the other two rushed forward and grabbed a guard.

"Tell me quickly, where are Xu Huang, Qian Zhao, and their men imprisoned now?"

The guard looked at the three men with such a fierce momentum, and his face turned pale with fear: "This... I don't know... Those people are serious criminals, and they are under the personal supervision of General Tian Chou..."

"Tian Chou?" At this time Yan Gang also chased over.

"Tian Chou, like me, was a subordinate of General Gongsun Zan and surrendered to Gongsun Fan. This man is very resourceful. If several generals fall into his hands, I'm afraid they will be in great danger. This saves us the trouble."

Yi Luo suddenly shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yan Gang was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he was about to get angry, but Chang Sheng quickly tried to persuade him, "Brother Yi means that this matter is of great importance, and we must see the bodies of the two people with our own eyes. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we will be doomed."

He then asked the guard, "What secrets does Tian Chou have here?"

The guard quickly said: "Yes, yes..."

"Lead the way quickly."

He gave the guard a push and he trotted forward.

Several people followed him through twists and turns, and finally arrived in front of an iron gate.

"Generals, General Tian's secret room is... right here..."

The guard said timidly.

Chang Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to him and just went up and kicked the iron door hard, making a "dong dong" sound but it didn't move at all.

"Tian Chou, open the door quickly!"

Several people kept shouting and cursing at the door, looking very anxious.

After a while, accompanied by a rather harsh sound, the two iron doors slowly opened, and a figure walked out from inside. It was Tian Chou.

"Good thief, watch the knife!"

Chang Sheng didn't say anything and just raised his knife and started chopping.

Tian Chou just reached out and grabbed his arm firmly, then took away his weapon.

"Who are you to dare to trespass here? Huh?"

He turned around and saw Yan Gang: "Why are you here too?"

Yan Gang poked his head out and looked into the secret room: "Where are Xu Huang and the others? Are they dead in there?"

Tian Chou frowned and said, "It is not your place to ask about this matter. This is a task assigned to me by the Lord. It has nothing to do with you."

After saying this, he was about to close the iron gate. However, Yan Gang, who was angered by his words, stepped forward and blocked the iron gate.

"My Lord? Humph, are you talking about Gongsun Fan? This villain can't even protect himself now. Now that Ji County is under my control, I advise you to be sensible and hand over Xu Huang and others. No matter whether they are dead or alive, as long as you hand them over to me, I will spare your life."

Tian Chou was startled and looked at him repeatedly: "You?"

"Yes, that's it..." Yan Gang was about to show off, but Chang Sheng and the other two were already impatient and reached out to push Tian Chou away.

"Get away, thief!"

"That's right. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being merciless."

Tian Chou sneered, "Just you two? Although my martial arts skills are not up to par, it will not be easy for the three of you to kill me."

"You... are going too far. Attack!"

Just as the three were about to step forward, a voice suddenly came from the secret room.

"Could it be the three brothers Chang Sheng, Cheng Yang and Yi Luo?" The three were stunned when they heard the voice, and then they quickly recognized the owner of the voice and were immediately overjoyed.

"It's Hao Yi!"

They hurriedly shouted to the secret room: "Brother Hao, it's us. How are you? Did the villain do anything to hurt you? How are the two generals now?"

A man walked out of the secret room. It was indeed Hao Yi. However, there was not a single scar on his body. Instead, he looked energetic and full of spirit.

"Ha, it's really the three generals. How did you get here? The brothers and the two generals are all fine. Come on, I'll take you in to see them."

When the three of them saw this, they were stunned.

Tian Chou asked Hao Yi, "Why? Are they also generals under the command of the two generals?"

Hao Yi smiled and said, "Exactly. We are all family members."

Tian Chou finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, then please come in."

He stepped aside and gestured "please come in" to the three people.

Led by Hao Yi, the three of them quickly ran in. Yan Gang thought to himself, "Ah, these three are really bold and careful. Seeing that the other party was not injured, they thought it would be difficult to succeed by force, so they pretended to be happy. When Xu Huang and Qian Zhao approached, they suddenly attacked. How could we defend against them? Hey, what a good plan."

When Yan Gang thought of this, he felt it was so wonderful that he hurriedly followed, fearing that he would miss this wonderful scene.

Several people entered the secret room, and as expected, except for Hao Yi, the rest were all safe and sound. They were all very surprised to see the three people coming.

Behind them, there were two beds, and several military doctors who were very familiar to them were taking care of Xu and Qian who were lying on the beds.

When they saw this situation, the three of them were completely confused.

"This...what is going on?"

Tian Yu came out and said with a smile, "We all misunderstood Tian Zitai. Brother Zitai is loyal and righteous. He surrendered to Gongsun Fan that day in order to avenge his master one day. He volunteered to interrogate us before, but it was actually to protect us secretly."

"So that's how it is." The three of them suddenly realized.

"General Tian, ​​we were unaware of the situation and we apologize for offending you just now."

Tian Chou helped them up and said, "Hey, the three of you are all heroes, loyal and dedicated. I admire you very much."

Yan Gang looked at the expressions of the three people and was filled with admiration beyond words.

"Oh my, these three brothers acted so vividly, who would be suspicious? Hehe, as long as we kill Xu Huang and Qian Zhao, everything will be settled..."

At this moment, Chang Sheng suddenly turned around and stared at him. His eyes were filled with immense resentment and hatred, which surprised Yan Gang.

"Brother Chang, what are you doing..."

"Shut up, who is your brother!" Chang Sheng interrupted him angrily.

Hao Yi asked: "General Chang, he is..."

Chang Sheng pointed at Yan Gang and said, "This fellow is trying to rebel against Gongsun Fan, pretending to obey the court but secretly disobeying it, plotting to establish himself as king, and even wants to kill the two generals and take the army for himself. He deserves death!"

"What? There is such a bastard?" Several people glared at Yan Gang.

"You...how could you..." Yan Gang was shocked and angry.

"It is obvious that you surrendered to me in order to save your lives, and took the initiative to offer the plan to kill Xu Huang and Qian Zhao. Now you dare to frame me for this. It is simply... simply shameless!"

"You are talking nonsense. These three are veterans in the army with outstanding military achievements. Their families are all in Yanmen and Zhongshan. How could they surrender to a mere Yan Gang like you? It is simply ridiculous."

Lieutenant General Xu Huang retorted.

"But...but this was indeed their idea..."

Yan Gang seemed to realize that he had fallen into a trap and had to argue desperately.

Yi Luo sneered, "The three of us were being chased by him and Tian Kai at the time, so we secretly decided to surrender together. We took advantage of the conflict between the Youzhou generals and the Bohai generals, pretended to surrender to him, helped him kill Tian Kai, and seized the power of Ji County. In fact, we came back to rescue the generals, regain the military power, and try to complete the important task entrusted by Your Majesty."

"You...you..."

Yan Gang was so angry that his chest heaved violently, but he couldn't say anything. Finally, he turned around and ran out the door.

"Thief, you still want to escape?"

Tian Yu and Hao Yi attacked at the same time, quickly chasing after him, and each of them shot a gun into Yan Gang's back.

Yan Gang spurted blood from his mouth and slowly fell to the ground. Even though he was dead, his eyes were still wide open.

"Well done!" Several people cheered at the same time.

Tian Chou walked over and closed the big iron gate again, then came back and asked, "Gongsun Fan will soon know about Yan Gang's rebellion. He has an army of 150,000. When he attacks, this city will be hard to resist. I wonder what we should do next?"

Chang Sheng said, "We have been prepared for this. We have nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses on this expedition. Although we suffered heavy losses and only have about 34,000 to 5,000 brothers left, we have joined forces with Tian Kai and Yan Gang's 27,000 to 28,000 men, plus the approximately 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, so we still have about 70,000 people. There is plenty of food and grass in the city. Even if Gongsun Fan gets the news tomorrow, it will take a day or two to rush back. We will rest well here, let the two generals recover, and at the same time give temporary training to the remaining surrendered soldiers. With the strength of Ji County, we can hold on for half a month, which is more than enough. When the two generals recover and the imperial court reinforcements arrive, Gongsun Fan will be defeated."

Everyone listened to his clear and logical analysis and nodded in agreement.

"General Chang is indeed resourceful. No wonder General Xu always likes to give you more advice and promotion."
