Dewey thought that Zheng Yu would resist, but who expected the other party to surrender on the spot, which was really decisive.

For Zheng Yu, if the city can be lost and the army can be preserved and retreated to Chengde with enough strength, the imperial court will punish him relatively lightly for this army, and the crime will not lead to death.

If this team suffers serious losses in the battle, or even the entire army is wiped out, it will lose its confidence, and even if it escapes, it will be difficult to save its life. When the time comes, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together, and they will surely die.

The personal army is the foundation of life, after all, he is not Ma Jian's cronies.

Another reason, Zheng Yu is extremely afraid of Ning Ze's army, Dewey is terrible enough, who knows if Ning Ze is waiting behind when he breaks out.

When he met Ning Ze, it was not a level that ordinary people could deal with, his spells were too powerful, and no one could beat him!

In the face of such a situation, instead of resisting and dying, it is better to surrender directly in exchange for a glimmer of life.

This is the case, some people are not afraid of life and death in the war years, but some people are wise to protect their lives and spare their lives.

Zheng Yu is a person who cherishes his life, although he also attaches importance to reputation, it is still important to save his life compared with the two.

The troops of Ziwu County were all promoted by Zheng Yu, which was equivalent to his private soldiers, so no one objected.

Without much effort, Dewey became the winner of this ambush battle, bringing Zheng Yu back to the Meridian County City to meet Ning Ze.

Ning Ze was also quite surprised, but he didn't expect Zheng Yu to even have the courage to fight against him, and he took it without a single soldier.

When he led the civil and military officials of Ziwu County to the front, he made a gesture of warm welcome and stepped forward in person: "Zheng Taishou, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zheng Yu was flattered, he didn't expect Ning Ze to be so enthusiastic about him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Zheng Yu greets the prince! ”

"Zheng Taishou distinguishes between right and wrong, understands the situation, and makes wise choices!" Ning Ze took his hand and laughed, "Swords and soldiers face each other, how innocent are the people, you say yes?"

"The prince is kind-hearted, and the ministers admire him!"

"Eh, now that Zheng Taishou has joined us, he is not a foreign minister!" Ning Ze said, "With Your Excellency's ability, it is a pity to be condescended to the position of a county Taishou!

Zheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, this prime minister's subordinate official is not a joke, and his status is quite high! Compared with the position of Taishou, he has been promoted several levels in a row, and his future is bright.

But after thinking about it, he understood what Ning Ze meant.

Don't look at being an official under the prime minister, it seems that his status has improved a lot, and if he is a decent official, the army in his hands will inevitably be handed over to others in name and right, which is equivalent to taking off military power.

Taishou seems to have a low official position, and he controls his military power in troubled times, but he speaks tougher than Jingguan.

He is equal to rising and descending secretly, losing the military power in his hands, and when he arrives in Huajun, Jinzhou, which is completely unfamiliar, he can't afford to turn over the waves.

It's just that there is no choice at the moment, but there is no record of murdering courtiers on the Huaguo side, especially Empress Yuanxi is famous for her benevolence and righteousness, and even those "pro-imperial faction" who offended Ning Ze are alive and well, at least their lives are worry-free.

Zheng Yu just wants to save his life now, and thanked him at the moment: "The courtiers feel the grace of the prince, and they have been repaid for swearing to die!"

Who wouldn't say polite words? If you go to Jinzhou, you can be regarded as a member of the Ningze forces, and Ningze is the supreme power hidden in the shadows in Huaguo, which is a secret that everyone in the world knows.

Ning Ze also sent several influential civil and military generals around Zheng Yu to Huajun as officials, and the spun off army was transferred to Xiang Jinbao to help him completely control the city.

Zheng Yu and the officials and generals around him were timid and afraid of war, but it was not the army's fault.

The army only obeys orders, and the lord will instigate them, and the lord will be strong, and they will be strong.

Xiang Jinbao, as the new Taishou of Meridian County, has enough wisdom to defend the city.

The terrain here is quite important, like a sharp knife that directly penetrates the forces of Lu Cong and Ma Jian, which can make these two people restless, and Xiang Jinbao alone may not be able to defend it, and there must be a brave enough military general to guard it.

What can be used at the moment is Dewey, for the sake of insurance and Ding Mu, I believe that Sima Fa can also resist, and with the support of Xingtai County and Xizhou soldiers and horses in the rear, as long as he does not make big mistakes, he will be able to be solid.

As for the Nancheng forces, if they attack closely with Sima Fa, Chu Wenxiu in the south will not sit idly by, and will definitely raid Chongwen County from the rear to relieve Xiang Jinbao's pressure, thus forming a stable triangle.

I really couldn't resist it, and I could learn about it through the telegram in time and quickly come to support.

Ning Ze's plan was to arrange the defense on this side, and lead another army to attack Shishan and march to the entire Yanzhou.

If it really starts, Sima Fa may not have time to entangle with Xiang Jinbao, and may have to catch up with him.

The reason why he decided to go north to attack Yanzhou, instead of giving priority to dealing with Ma Jian, was mainly to take Ma Chanpei by his side and take her to fight Nancheng, so that she could watch herself eliminate Nancheng's soldiers, which was not good.

After getting along for a while, it was hard to gain the trust and dependence of this girl, but she couldn't give up all her efforts.

If you really want to deal with Nancheng, you have to send her to Huajun, and start a war without her knowledge, without seeing it with your own eyes, the impact will be minimized.

It took several days to complete the handover and stabilization of the army.

Zheng Yu and some of his officials, Ning Ze sent Ning Yong to lead a special escort to report to Huajun first.

These days, I have been paying attention to the intelligence of Lu Cong and Ma Jian's forces, and I know that the two armies have arrived in Gu'an and Chengde one after another, and they are preparing for the next big war.

Chu Wenxiu received the information, and also rushed to Zeshan County with Huang Shao, Chen Tai, Zhong Jizhao and other generals, gathered with Wang Wei and Song Gao, and sent troops to contain Ma Jian's army at any time according to the situation.

The war was approaching, and it was impossible for Ning Ze to let Xiang Jinbao, whose loyalty had just reached the passing line, directly take on the heavy responsibility, so he called him in front of him and took out a copy of the Chaoyang Art of War from the famous works he had collected in recent years.

I don't know who wrote this art of war, it seems to be very old, and it belongs to a very precious ancient book and cultural relics.

The Art of War attribute is to add 6 points of intelligence, plus level 1 weapon stunts.

As long as he carries this art of war, Xiang Jinbao's intelligence can break through 100 and reach the level of 101 points, and he himself has a level 8 weapon stunt, and this stunt can be fully valued through the art of war.

The level 9 weapon special skill allows him to create and even invent quite a few weapons that are beneficial to combat and defense, and there are great variables in warfare.

Of course, Ning Ze is mainly for his loyalty.

Increasing loyalty through bounty is the quickest and most effective.

The more you reward, the more loyalty increases.

Comparatively speaking, rewarding famous goods increases loyalty the most, provided that it is in line with the other person's hobbies.

For example, a military general who is keen on weapons, you give him the most loyalty to famous weapons, those who like to drink alcohol, give him the most famous wine, doctors and the like give precious medicines the fastest increase, and literati like Xiang Jinbao are naturally the best in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xiang Jinbao didn't know why Ning Ze called him over, and after arriving, he bowed and saluted: "Meet the prince!"

"No courtesy!" Ning Ze stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Please come over during your busy schedule, please understand!"

"The prince is summoned, no matter how busy the lower officials are, they have to come over!"

"Don't be so restrained, it's not a big deal to call you here. Ning Ze said, "Your Excellency has been working hard every day since you took on the post of Taishou, getting up early and returning late every day. is particularly attentive to the affairs of the city, which proves that Lone's vision is correct, and he is a capable minister!"

When Xiang Jinbao heard this, he hurriedly said: "The prince is falsely praised, the lower officials are just doing their duty!"

"Good one, do your duty!" Ning Ze laughed, "If all the officials in the world are like Your Excellency, it will be a prosperous world." ”

Xiang Jinbao knew that this was Ning Ze's imperial technique, and the meaningless verbal praise was still extremely useful, and his heart was warm: "The lower official can't afford to be so highly praised by the prince!"

"Afford it!" Ning Ze picked up the Chaoyang Art of War on the table, got up and walked in front of Xiang Jinbao, "What Your Excellency did, you can see it in your eyes." Meritorious service should be rewarded, and punishment will be imposed if there is a mistake, which is the standard of loneliness. Your Excellency has devoted yourself to government affairs, quickly stabilized the situation in Ziwu County, and allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, which is a great achievement! In order to show your merits, the lone general treasured the art of war and gave it to you. This book was purchased by a lonely daughter, and I hope to cherish it!"

As he spoke, he handed over the Chaoyang Art of War in his hand.

Xiang Jinbao hurriedly excused himself: "How dare the lower officials accept such a precious thing?"

"It is precisely because of the preciousness of this thing that it is given to the person who knows the treasure!" Ning Ze directly put the art of war into the other party's hands, "The things that are sent out by Lone will never be taken back." Please also cherish it and study the art of war thoroughly!"

"Chaoyang Art of War ......" Xiang Jinbao obviously knew this military book, and was extremely excited, "This is the real book, and it is hard to find a thousand gold! The prince treats him like this, and the lower officials don't know how to repay ......."

"Doing your best to serve Huaguo is the best reward for Lone!"

"Obey the teachings of the prince!" Xiang Jinbao excitedly put away the art of war, "The lower officials must do their best and live up to the prince's trust!"

When he commanded the Chaoyang Art of War, Ning Ze saw a system prompt, because of the gift of famous products, Xiang Jinbao's loyalty increased by 35 points.

Before, his loyalty was increased above the passing line, exactly 64 points, and this time, he reached a height of 99 in an instant, and he almost reached the status of diehard.

Although I think it's a pity, anyway, there is a chance for him to reach the level of loyalty, and for 1 point of loyalty, he has to be rewarded again every time.

In addition, above 80 points is very stable, and unless it is captured by the enemy and surrenders with a small probability, it will not defect.

99 points is not much different from diehards, even if they are surrounded or even captured by enemy troops, this level is definitely a death fight or trying to escape, and the probability of surrender is negligible.

Unless there is also a military general with similar attributes to Liu Yuanxiang on the opposite side, and he has mastered full-level human virtue and persuasion.

After the loyalty is improved, there is no need to worry about Xiang Jinbao, and you can rest assured that Meridian County will be handed over to him.

So he said: "Sima Fa and Feng Qiao's army is already on standby in Gu'an and Chengde, and they will attack at any time. The next thing is very important, I want you to control the overall situation and defend this city with Dewey and Ding Mu, is there a problem?"

Xiang Jinbao immediately clenched his fists: "Don't worry, the prince! ”
