Zhang Tongru's mutiny was suppressed by Cao Dun in time, and it did not cause much chaos, but Shi Chaoqing felt that he had just killed Cao Dun's subordinates, and he felt that it was difficult to talk about this matter.

However, Cao Dun did not mention this matter as if he was completely unaware of the incident in which his subordinates were killed. Since Cao Dun didn't mention it, Shi Chaoqing pretended that nothing had happened, and only said that Zhang Tongru was in trouble.

"Zhang Tongru was cunning, the mutiny did not succeed and escaped, Cao was worried about the safety of the prison country, so he rushed over in a hurry, and now he was relieved to see that the prison country was safe. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Dun paused for a moment, and then said:

"Since the prison country is safe, Cao will not delay here, but still catch Zhang Tongru as soon as possible, and inspect the city defense, so as not to give the thieves a chance!"

"General Cao, slow down!"

Suddenly, Shi Chaoqing's emotions were a little out of control, and he called Cao Dun, who was about to push out.

"Father, father...... Do you know the whereabouts of my father at this time?"

Shi Chaoqing's question was like a sharp arrow hitting Cao Dun, and everyone present could see that Cao Dun's body trembled obviously. But his voice was still calm.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty will return to Fanyang safely in the near future!"

Perhaps only Shi Chaoqing couldn't see Cao Dun's insincerity, so he let out a long sigh of relief and muttered:

"That's good, that's good, my father is not here, I'm always like I don't have a backbone!"

Cao Dun glanced at Shi Chaoqing and said earnestly:

"As long as the prison country guards Fan Yang, everything will be handled by His Majesty!"

"Yes, yes, guard Fan Yang, there is chaos outside, there is a father and the emperor!"

After this conversation, Cao Dun left, but Qiu Bai, who was watching from the side, fell into deep thought, he suddenly felt that Cao Dun seemed to flicker in words, could it be that this person also has another hidden secret?

"Brother Zhang, don't you think Cao Dun's words and deeds are a little weird?"

"Weird, how weird?"

To tell the truth, Zhang Yan also felt that Cao Dun's behavior was not like what a general should be, not to mention that he was a close confidant entrusted by Shi Siming, and now he was just leaving after a few words with Shi Chaoqing, could it be that there was something greasy in it?

In any case, the news brought by Cao Dun was directed at Zhou Zhi, and Zhang Tongru's mutiny and rebellion were obviously hasty, perhaps it was because of Zhou Zhi's arrest that he took the risk. Moreover, Zhou Zhi's arrest was not successful, and the rumors had already leaked before the transfer of the prison guard. Therefore, at the moment, the predicament that Shi Chaoqing is facing at the moment has a bit of a self-inflicted taste.

"Cao Dun is a general, but his words are quite flickering, although he can't say what the reason is, he always feels that something is wrong!"

Qiu Bai is indeed a little unable to see Cao Dun, but after all, he is the person who oversees the military power in Fanyang City, although Shi Chaoqing does not trust this person, but at least one point, Qima still believes that Cao Dun is capable of holding Fan Yang.

Now, what Qiu Bai is worried about is whether Cao Dun has enough will to protect and support Shi Chaoqing?

After all, it's one thing to finally Shi Siming, and it's another thing to finally Shi Siming's preferred young son.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Bai suddenly shouted:

"It's not good, stop Cao Dun!"

Everyone present was shocked, and Shi Chaoqing lost his voice:

"Mr. Qiu, why is this?"

"Cao Dun has a problem!"

Zhang Yan's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately realized that there was a problem with Cao Dun that Qiu Bai was referring to, what was the problem?

"Could it be that Zhang Tongru was not ......?"

However, Qiu Bai's reaction was too late, Cao Dun should have been out of the workshop at this time, and he was afraid that he couldn't stop it.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and one of the attendants ran in in a panic.

"No, it's not good...... General Cao was assassinated by an arrow......"

The news came suddenly, and Qiu Bai also subconsciously reacted, whether this was true or not. But immediately after, someone had already carried the bloody Cao Dun back.

In the courtyard, I saw Cao Dun's left arm and chest nailed with two feather arrows, obviously not lightly injured, as for what other wounds on his body, he was not allowed to check for a while.

Qiu Bai secretly said, his previous judgment must have been wrong? Otherwise, how could Cao Dun have been assassinated and injured?

Feng Changqing's army had experienced wounded doctors, and after a simple examination and treatment, he told everyone that although Cao Dun's injuries were serious, they were not fatal, and it was impossible to command the army.

Shi Chaoqing's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Cao Dun with his eyes closed worriedly, as if he didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, the big victory that was out of control shouted:

"Who can tell what happened, what happened, why General Cao was assassinated, and where is Zhang Tongru's dog thief now?"

Shi Chaoqing has always given people the impression of being gentle and elegant, but now he suddenly went crazy, and everyone was stunned.

After venting for a while, Shi Chaoqing was like a deflated pig's urine bubble, he fell to the ground and howled in vain. Maybe it's because the pressure of the past few days is too much, and the internal and external troubles have made the emotions out of control. If Shi Chaoqing was just a little Langjun from a rich and noble family, this would be nothing, but he had to bear the responsibility and burden of pseudo-Yan, as well as the guilt of rebellion, this unusually heavy courage had already overwhelmed him.

Suddenly, Qiu Bai even sympathized with Shi Chaoqing, a young man in his early twenties, who had hardly enjoyed the prestige and power of the so-called prison state, but had caused one disaster after another.

The life and death of the father, who was relied on as a pillar, is unknown, and the brothers of the same birth turn against each other. These may not be what a cowardly person like Shi Chaoqing can bear.

However, since you are a superior person, you should have the consciousness and posture of a superior person, even if you are desperate in your heart, you can't show the slightest weakness, otherwise the emotion of failure will be easily transmitted and spread.

Obviously, Shi Chaoqing doesn't understand this truth, all his actions are completely just venting at will based on joy, anger and sorrow, how can he expect such a person to provoke the girder to defend Fan Yang?

"Prison country, the top priority is to block the news, and not let anyone know that General Cao was assassinated, otherwise the army's heart will be in chaos, and Fan Yang will be in danger!"

Zhang Yan's suggestion was not alarmist, if the army in Fanyang City learned that the general Cao Dun was seriously injured and could not see things, and it was not known how many people would have dissent like Zhang Tongru.

"Yes, yes, yes, quickly, block the news, anyone who misses a word will be immediately forgiven!"

Shi Chaoqing said this sentence very neatly, but it is unknown whether it has any effect, after all, Cao Dun was stabbed outside the gate of the fang, and the assassin escaped in full view of everyone, and the onlookers did not know how many people harbored evil intentions......

In this regard, they still did their best to obey the fate of heaven, and immediately ordered all the guards in the name of Cao Dun to strictly investigate Zhang Tongru and his people, but if they found it, they could be killed on the spot. and kill Zhang Tongru, and reward a thousand gold.

Maybe no one cares if Zhang Tongru is killed or not, but if the killing of Zhang Tongru is linked to his daughter, I don't know how many people will rush to it.

At the same time, they found someone who was very similar to Cao Dun in appearance and figure, put on Cao Dun's armor, and walked around the assembly place of the army, so as to prevent and refute rumors like the outside world.

At night, there was still no news of Zhang Tongru being captured or killed, and everyone had lost hope in this matter.

Thinking about it, Zhang Tongru was originally the hero of Pseudo Yan, and there were many eyes and ears in the old department in this Fanyang City, and any one or two people might help him avoid pursuit and arrest, I am afraid that even if he escaped from the city, it may not be difficult.

Qiu Bai realized that the idea of sneaking into the city to help Shi Chaoqing defend the city seemed feasible, but when it came to execution, it was so difficult that he felt that it was not a reliable idea at all.

The homogeneity within the Shi Thief Rebels is a model of soldiers, even if Cao Dun intends to delegate power, others may not be able to command easily. Looking at the so-called prison Shi Chaoqing, he is simply an incompetent waste, and it has no good effect at all.

In the end, Feng Changqing put forward a more pertinent suggestion, since it was impossible to replace Cao Dun to control the garrison, it was better to set up another stove and gather the guards of the prison known as the rabble, and then they could command and promote in the name of the prison state, as for the generals and colonels of other armies, as long as they did not disobey Cao Dun's previous existing military orders, the situation in the city could be stabilized.

After counting, there were barely about 5,000 people, and Zhang Yan, who was the official of the Imperial Palace, was appointed as the left guard rate, and unified the command and transfer of these 5,000 people. In addition, Feng Changqing brought in more than 1,000 people, and it has a scale of nearly 10,000 people. With this foundation, the order of the prison state will also have confidence.

Fortunately, Shi Chaoyi's main rebel army did not rush to Fanyang City, and Shi Chaoqing, at the instigation of Zhang Yan and Zheng Jing, personally went to the soldiers and horses in various military towns outside the city to work in the army.

Whether it is to grasp the military power or arrange the city defense, this is Feng Changqing can do it skillfully with his eyes closed, the so-called control of the military power does not necessarily have to be in charge of the army with cronies, sometimes in order to achieve the desired effect in the shortest possible time, make appropriate compromises and use the inherent contradictions between the various departments to achieve the purpose of mutual containment is also the only magic weapon.

Shi Chaoqing himself did not realize that he already had a powerful behind-the-scenes staff group, and a veteran general like Feng Changqing, who had been a meritorious soldier for a long time, could not see through it when he came to this point? Including Qiu Bai, a young and daring military Sima, who was not inferior to others. In just three or two days, after several mutual adjustments and reorganizations of soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, the defenders in the city have gradually gained the momentum of being the leader of the country, and Cao Dun's influence was easily stripped away.
