Compared with Dewey and Ding Mu, Wang Wei's luck was not good.

The water and food in the city of Yuanjun are sufficient, the city walls are strong, and the soldiers are wide. And the business is good, and the people's morale is stable.

Nie Wei is quite prestigious, has a strong personality, and the military and people in the city are particularly supportive of him.

Wang Wei could neither cut off the water source in the city, nor could he incite through the people's will, so he could only unite with Miao County and Bashui County reinforcements to besiege the city and continue to storm it.

Nie Wei is good at defending the city, although the troops do not need to be on Wang Wei's side, he can repel them every time, which makes Wang Wei quite a headache.

On the other side, Ning Ze's army arrived in Qingshan County and surrounded the city.

When he came to the front of the battle, he saw Chu Bai leading the civil and military officials to garrison the city wall.

Ning Ze stepped forward, raised his head and shouted, "Chu Bai, you are not a lonely opponent. It's better to surrender Kaesong and save you a lifetime of glory!"

Chu Bai was condescending and responded loudly: "Please ask the Marquis of Danyang to withdraw his troops, he is also a Dacheng official, why bother?"

"Lu Cong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, named Chengxiang, to prepare for the usurpation of the throne in the future!" Ning Ze replied, "My lord and Emperor Hui are both in the same royal lineage, how can we sit back and watch the imperial family suffer such humiliation? How can we sit back and watch Dacheng's country being seized by outsiders? Lone was ordered to pacify the thieves and send an envoy to assist the Lu thieves, which is not a wise move! If we can open the city and surrender and serve our lord, we will become the minister of Dacheng in the future!"

After hearing this, Chu Bai said in his heart Aren't you the same yourself? Isn't Princess Yuanxi your puppet, what's the difference between her and Lu Cong?

It sounds good, but in fact, it's all all the way!

At least Lu Cong is a genuine emperor in his hands, and you are just a princess in your hands, and you are also born to the first emperor. He immediately replied: "Emperor Hui is young, the prime minister is dedicated to his assistance and loyalty, and the Marquis of Danyang is afraid that he has misunderstood! Why don't you find a time and ask the prime minister to talk to Hou Ye face to face to resolve the misunderstanding? This official does not want to be an enemy of Hou Ye, so please Hou Ye withdraw from the army for the time being." It's freezing cold, how can the sergeant be innocent?"

"Chu Envoy Jun is obsessed, don't blame Gu for not being emotional!" Ning Ze shouted, "If you don't open the city again, Gu will come to fetch it in person!"

"If the Hou Ye wants to attack the city, this official will accompany him!" Chu Bai gave an order, and the defenders quickly prepared the rolling stone and sasswood to meet the battle at any time.

"Husband, let the concubine lead the troops to attack the city!" Mi Yan carried a big knife in her hand and stepped forward immediately.

"No need!" Ning Ze waved his hand to stop it, and said with a smile, "Storming the city is a last resort, and it has to be done. It is the best policy to surrender the soldiers without a fight!"

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Mi Yan asked suspiciously, "What is the master's plan?"

Ning Ze raised his head and shouted at Chu Bai: "Lone will not attack the city for the time being, please make you think clearly, don't be obsessed!"

He immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and set up camp twenty miles from the city.

Chu Bai couldn't figure out Ning Ze's thoughts, but the other party didn't attack the city immediately, which made him breathe a little relieved.

Ning Ze returned to the camp and let the soldiers recuperate and recuperate, and the whole army repaired.

At the same time, scouts were dispatched to secretly observe the movement of the Aoyama County guards.

Chu Bai was quite nervous in the city, and he tensed his nerves every day, for fear that Ning Ze would suddenly attack.

But five consecutive days passed, and Ning Zejun did not make the slightest movement.

I didn't dare to send someone out of the city to investigate, so I could only keep guessing.

On the sixth day, there was still no movement.

Although it was not clear, Chu Bai relaxed slightly.

The person on duty in the city today is Geng Zhi, a partial general under Chu Bai's tent.

On duty until late at night, there was no hostile situation.

Just as Geng Zhi was relaxing, an army suddenly appeared outside the city, and then the night covered its figure, quickly appeared, and at the same time quickly fired a wave of crossbow arrows at the city wall, frightening the defenders into a panic.

The defenders were about to fight back when they found that the other side had quickly withdrawn and disappeared into the night.

A headless burst of shooting, meaningless, and the defenders of the city felt inexplicable.

Because it was just a small wave of harassment, it was not reported to the superiors, but only patrols were intensified.

Everything returned to normal, but the henchman lieutenant secretly came over and handed him a letter.

"What is this?" asked Geng Zhi in a low voice.

"I just shot arrows at the wall, tied to one of the crossbow arrows!" replied the henchman lieutenant softly.

Geng Zhi was slightly stunned: "Does anyone know about this?"

"General rest assured, no one knows except the last general! Presumably, this letter is from the hand of Hou Ningze of Danyang. ”

"Danyang Hou Ningze, what does he want to do?"

"The last general doesn't know, the general can open it and see!"

"Don't mention this matter to outsiders, while arousing suspicion!"

"Don't worry, the general knows!"

"You go back to patrol first!"

"Whoa!"

The henchman lieutenant returned to his post, Geng Zhi carefully checked left and right, went to the corner alone, and secretly opened it.

The letter was indeed written by Ning Ze, and the other party recognized him, and the beginning of the letter was his own name -- General Geng Zhi was respectful, and he had heard of the general's name earlier! After the general was Zhongliang, Liang Yi ant thieves ravaged Xizhou, and there were many military exploits and countless thieves. However, Chu Bai has no knowledge of people and listens to slander. The defeated thieves are reused for their flattery, and they do not remember the great merits of the generals. Gu has always admired the general, but he is in a hostile position, and he does not dare to drag the general down, so he can only secretly send a message. Chu Bai has no room for people, and the general is like a pearl. Now Xi and Yuan are two states, and they are lonely and will win. If the general is willing to help, he is willing to take the position of Xizhou Assassin History! I hope that the general will make a decision as soon as possible and wait for the news!

After reading the secret letter, Geng Zhi was taken aback.

The heart said that Ning Ze actually knew that he knew it, and he was clear about his exploits in suppressing thieves, was it really as written in his heart?

Indeed, Geng Zhi was not willing to do so under Chu Bai's tent.

When he was in trouble with the Liangyi ant thieves, he participated in many thieves and made great contributions. However, he was at odds with his boss at the time, and as a result, his boss slandered Chu Baijin and took all his credit. He is soft-spoken, but he will not flatter and flatter, and his boss who has robbed the credit has risen step by step, and he is still a dispensable small role in the army.

Imbalance in the mind is for sure.

To be honest, Geng Zhi had complaints about Chu Bai, and was a little upset by Ning Ze's letter.

Why Ning Ze knows Geng Zhi is very simple!

At that time, the army came to the city, and Chu Bai led the civil and military officials to defend the city, and Geng Zhi was among them.

Ning Ze checked everyone's attributes through the system, and found that among the military officials under Chu Bai's account, there were some who had particularly low loyalty, but their attributes were okay, and Geng Zhi was one of them.

With only 13 loyalty, he is in the most vulnerable category.

In the personal biography column of Geng Zhi, there is a brief introduction to the life of the character, including the content that he has made contributions to the elimination of Liang Yi's ant thieves many times, but has been intercepted.

Such a good opportunity, of course Ning Ze will not miss it.

There are two outcomes for this round of secret letter shooting.

One is that Geng Zhi gets a secret letter, and with his loyalty, it is easy to waver, if he can't do it once, he can always succeed in persuading him to surrender again, making it his own camp, and breaking the city gate with the inside and outside;

Chu Bai must be suspicious of Geng Zhi, and he is even more harsh and distrustful of him. With Geng Zhi's loyalty, if he suppresses the absolute rebellion, the only choice for him to rebel is to let himself into the city with the inside and the outside.

No matter what the outcome is, Geng Zhi will take refuge in himself.

If there is an internal response, you can capture the city with minimal losses, which is the best policy!

Even if Geng Zhi fails, chaos will arise within Qingshan County, and other officials and generals who are dissatisfied with Chu Bai may be investigated, and in order to protect themselves, they will either remain silent or rise up to resist, which will also become their own help.

No matter what aspect you are, your side is sure to make a profit.

As Ning Ze expected, Geng Zhi was shaken after reading the superstition. He was unwilling to be under Chu Bai's tent, but Ning Ze was masked, but he attached so much importance to him, and even had to take the position of Xizhou Assassin, it was difficult for anyone to resist this temptation.

So after thinking about it for a long time, I finally made a decision, directly wrote a secret letter tied to the arrow, and secretly shot it outside the city while people were unprepared.

The letter reads: "The Marquis of Danyang is respectful, and his foolish fame is not obvious, but the Hou Ye is so respectful and deserved! The Marquis of Danyang is famous and thunderous. Foolish people have been like-minded for a long time, and they can't get out. I can't help but rejoice when I believe it today. The strength of the fool is still insufficient, but he knows that several people are in the same situation as the fool, and he is willing to say that he will work together to help the Hou Ye! If the Hou Ye is accurate, he can send a message at night!"

Before dawn, Ning Ze's scouts patrolled and found Geng Zhi's secret letter and immediately brought it back to the camp.

Ning Ze got the secret letter and read it carefully, and said in his heart that his loyalty was low enough, and it was not in vain that he wasted so many days, so he asked the scouts to observe closely and look for Geng Zhi's duty time.

Since Geng Zhi successfully rebelled, it would be half the easy to capture Qingshan County.

Immediately wrote a secret letter, accepting Geng Zhi's proposal in its entirety, promising to assist Geng Zhili and help him capture Qingshan County, and anyone who helped him capture Qingshan County could be reused. Anyway, there is a shortage of people under him, and he needs to find someone to manage Chu Bai's territory, and it is best to have a ready-made nature.

That night, when it was time for Geng Zhi to be on duty, Ning Ze's subordinates secretly approached the city gate again and shot a round of air at it.

Geng Zhi got the secret letter, and saw that Ning Ze agreed, so he wrote another secret letter, and in the next few days, he would have a secret meeting with the officials and generals who were dissatisfied with Chu Bai, and discuss the internal and external cooperation. Because this matter must be confidential and cautious, and cannot be leaked, I hope that Ning Ze will be patient, wait for the preparation in the city to be completed, and will immediately decide the time and signal through the secret letter.

Ning Ze responded, waiting for good news.

So when Geng Zhi was resting, he secretly contacted those officials and generals who were extremely low in loyalty to Chu Bai, had a bad situation, or were suppressed, and discussed major matters in private.

Chu Bai didn't know that there were rebel seedlings in the city, and said in his heart that Ning Ze hadn't attacked the city for so long, what did he want to do?

Just as he was in doubt, suddenly a messenger came and bypassed the camp of the Ning Ze army from the east gate.

Ning Zejun did not stop it and let it pass.

The envoy returned to the city and hurriedly reported to Chu Bai: "Dewey has broken through Yong'an County, and General Rong Ting has been killed!"

Before Chu Bai could come back to his senses, two days later, another messenger reported in a panic: "Ding Mubing besieged Luliang County, and the commander He Fang stabbed General Gongsun to death, and opened the city to surrender." Now Luliang County has fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

When the continuous bad news came, Chu Bai's brain buzzed, and he was extremely flustered.

I thought it would not be difficult to block Dewey and Ding Mu, as long as they held on to the city, who would have expected an emergency?

This news made the civil and military forces in the city panic, but Geng Zhi and the others were extremely excited.
