The rebels suffered defeats one after another, and the morale of the army was inevitably shaken.

Yuan Shichuan was furious and intended to kill Pang Bo, but considering that it was ominous to kill the generals when employing people, he left him with his life and was demoted to a general.

"This Zhong Ye is really too cunning," Yuan Shichuan stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance: "Although there are not many people under him, he is desperate to increase the rank and enter the knighthood, although he is not as good as ten, but he is really brave enough." ”

"General, there is nothing new about Zhong Ye's method. But there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, if we do the same, where will we not be able to resist him? Someone among the staff members who followed behind Yuan Shichuan said.

Everyone listened and didn't speak, including Yuan Shichuan.

The person who spoke was a poor talent who had just taken refuge, he was resentful because of repeated failures, and he heard that Yuan Shichuan was recruiting talents anyway, and he thought that he was talented, so he came here to seek a way.

He thought he was right, but the others laughed at him for being stupid.

Zhong Ye made a promise to his subordinates to use silver and titles to boost morale, which was indeed a very direct and effective method.

But when it comes to Yuan Shichuan, it's a different matter, as soon as Zhong Yehua comes to the silver of the imperial court, of course he is not distressed.

But Yuan Shichuan is different, he only has three cities now, and none of them are rich places.

The cost of eating horses and chewing every day is amazing, where is there more money to take out as a reward?

Besides, even if they can take out a part of the silver taels to do these things, they still have a long way to rebel, and if they don't implement it, their morale will be low, after all, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

"General, according to the opinion of his subordinates, this Zhong Ye wants to fight quickly." Another strategist said, "Why don't we give him a plan, and say that we will face him head-on, and win or lose three games." As long as they win, our whole army will surrender. Then Zhong Ye will definitely agree with his bravery, when the time comes, we will ambush in advance, as long as they enter the ambush circle, we will strangle them together, they are only 20,000 people in total, I don't believe they can fly to the sky. ”

"This is also a way," Yuan Shichuan muttered, "I just don't know if this bearded Zhong will be fooled." ”

"Let's give it a try, he just won't agree, and we won't have anything to lose, but once we agree, our chance will come." The strategist who came up with the idea said with a smile.

"I don't think it's a good idea, Zhong Ye is not stupid enough to take the bait so easily." Another lieutenant general said: "In my opinion, it is better to fight against treachery." It's better for us to let the wind out, and say that the general wants to win over Zhong Ye and seal him the post of general of the left, and Zhong Ye also agreed. If this news reaches the capital, some people will definitely believe it. When the time comes, we don't need to make a move, and the court will naturally clean him up. ”

When the people heard this, many people agreed with the idea.

Spreading rumours can both reduce casualties and make a big difference.

"But the rumors can't spread to the capital in a day or two, and we have to find a way to confront Zhong Ye during this period." Yuan Shichuan said.

"General, the Turkic Khan has sent another letter." A guard came over and reported to Yuan Shichuan.

Yuan Shichuan took the letter, opened it and looked at the group, his brows furrowed.

Ever since his cavalry rebellion, the Turkic khans have frequently sent emissaries to exchange letters with him, but they want to unite with him to overthrow the court in one fell swoop.

Since Yuan Shichuan dared to rebel, of course he didn't want to be a loyal minister and a good general, but when it came to uniting with the Turks, he couldn't make up his mind.

The main reason is that he is afraid that he will be attacked by the Turks in the end, after all, the possibility of luring wolves into the house cannot be ruled out.

"Go and prepare food and drinks, and entertain the Turkic envoys. Don't neglect them, and wait for me to think about how to reply to the Turkic Khan. Yuan Shichuan instructed his men to entertain the Turkic envoys.

And this time Zhong Ye is still training soldiers at the station, after two victories, the morale is now very high, everyone is fighting bravely, not daring to be the slightest sloppy.

Zhong Ye stood on the lookout and looked in all directions, he was observing the terrain.

Hulu stood behind him, not saying a word. Holding a letter in his hand, he hesitated to give it to Zhong Ye.

"What are you doing here?" Zhong Ye looked back and asked him strangely, "Have you already made lunch?" It's still a little early, right? ”

Hulu followed Zhong Ye into the barracks, but he was still responsible for Grandpa Zhong's usual food and clothing.

There were a few people in the barracks who wanted to serve by Zhong Ye's side, but they were all sent away by Hulu one by one.

It's not because he's jealous, it's that he can't look down on these people, and he feels that none of them can serve Zhong Ye well, so it's better to come by himself.

"It's not time to eat, it's a letter from Kyori." Hulu said and picked up the letter in his hand and showed it to Zhong Ye: "It was written to me by winter melon." ”

"What did the letter say?" Zhong Ye asked curiously, "Is there one for me?" ”

The letters that Zhong Ye can receive in the capital are all official letters, and he has been hoping that Wei Yining will write to him, but he has not received any of them so far, so he can't help but look forward to and be disappointed.

Of course, Hulu knew what he was thinking, so he said directly: "Winter melon mentioned Miss Wei in the letter. ”

"What's wrong with Yining?" Zhong Ye felt that things were not good when he heard it, Donggua wrote a letter to the gourd, and even mentioned Wei Yining, obviously something happened to Wei Yining, and this is probably not a good thing, you can guess it by looking at the expression of the gourd.

The gourd sighed lightly and handed the letter over.

Zhong Ye looked at it at a glance and ignored the little bit that the winter melon said.

When he saw Wei Yining's name, he paused abruptly and looked at it carefully word by word.

If you don't look at the result, you can't do it when you see it.

The letter said that Wei Hongan was also taken captive, and his whereabouts were unknown like Wei Yingjue, and Wei Yining had already gone out of Beijing to look for him, and as of the time of writing this letter, Wei Yining had been away from Beijing for six or seven days.

Zhong Ye's heart has been filled with worry, Wei Hongan and Wei Yingjue are missing, obviously someone did it on purpose, and Wei Yining went out to find his younger brother, or set off alone, the road is difficult.

And the most important thing is that these people are not doing this for just two children. It is very likely that their real purpose is Wei Yining, and when he thought of this, Zhong Ye's cold sweat came out.

What exactly are they going to do when they lure Yining out of the capital? Who is the mastermind behind this? What kind of strategy did they devise to calculate Wei Yining?

Zhong Ye thought desperately in his heart, how to think about how to think that those people would spread a big net again.

And Wei Yining was in a hurry to pounce on that side, although with her alertness, it was not easy to harm her, but Wei Hongan was Wei Yining's weakness, a person who was held down on the door, what are the odds of winning?
