Chapter 81: Seven Captures of Meng
At noon that day, Shen Yunfan took Zheng Wanyi to eat with the wind chime, and found that Zheng Wanyi's attitude towards him was very cold.
"Yesterday was fine, why did you change your face again today? A woman's heart is a needle......" he muttered.
What he didn't know was that rumors that he deliberately let go of the barbarian leader in order to improve his military merits had intensified and had spread among the army.
Hu Chun and Xie Min even learned of this rumor, and after discussing it, the two decided to send a letter to the imperial court to report the matter.
In the afternoon of the same day, the capital received a letter from Kuaima.
Xu Kailin was immediately happy when he saw the letter, and hurriedly summoned several ministers to enter the palace together to report the matter to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Shen Shangshu captured the barbarian leader twice in Jiaozhou, but let him go both times. According to the old minister, he is deliberately delaying time in Jiaozhou!"
"Does procrastination do him any good?" Wei Qing was puzzled.
"The longer it drags on, the more he can say that the military situation in Jiaozhou is difficult, and won't the military merits he will get when the time comes?" Xu Kailin sneered.
The ministers next to him were all Xu Kailin's people, and they all nodded at this time and said, "It's really too unreasonable for the court to fake and take military merits in front of everyone!"
A few people, you said a word, and in the end, they wanted to impeach Shen Yunfan.
Xu Kailin secretly rejoiced, the last time he helped Shen Yunfan in ***, it was just a temporary adaptation, he had never regarded Shen Yunfan as his own.
If he had the chance, he would have to kill this political enemy.
So he stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, if you take this opportunity to impeach Shen Yunfan, the power will return to you."
These words obviously captured Wei Qing's psychology.
Wei Qing's eyes flickered.
……
Jiaozhou, the barbarian attack did not stop this day.
First, in the afternoon, they feinted to attack Linxi County, and then turned to attack the rich Beiyuan County, but they were ambushed by Shen Yunfan, and Marriott was caught again.
This time, he was let go again.
At night, Marriott did not give up, and led the army to attack again under Wang Tong's plan......
In two days and two nights, the barbarians attacked a total of six times, all of which were not large, but all of them ended in failure, and Marriott was captured alive six times!
You must know that as a small leader of the barbarians, he has always charged ahead, fought more than 100 times, and has never tasted defeat.
Who knew that in just two days, he was arrested so many times?
This is a great shame for him, after all, even if it is to catch a wild boar, it is not so simple, right?
So after being put back for the sixth time, he was furious.
"How could that guy ambush me every time? There must be an inner demon among us!"
If you want to talk about the inner ghost among the barbarians, the most likely is naturally Wang Tong!
Even though Wang Tong can play tricks, in the face of six consecutive defeats, he is still speechless!
In the end, the dog-headed military advisor was beheaded by Marriott's order, and the head was thrown to Linxi County by the barbarians, with a wooden sign inserted on it that read: "The inner ghost is dead, you don't want to win again!"
The Jiaozhou army couldn't figure out why Shen Yunfan was able to ambush the opponent every time.
After seeing Wang Tong's head, they suddenly realized, "It turns out that Wang Zhou is also an inner ghost sent by us?"
"Unexpectedly, we have always misunderstood Wang Zhoutong!"
When Zheng Wanyi learned of this, she also found Shen Yunfan and sneered, "It's been a long time, did someone send you a message?"
"Hmph, I've only met Wang Tong twice, do you really believe that he is the inner ghost I sent?" Shen Yunfan smiled, only thinking that Zheng Wanyi was too naïve.
"If he wasn't an inner ghost, how did you ambush them?" Zheng Wanyi was puzzled.
"It's very simple, I guessed everything Wang Tong thought." Shen Yunfan explained, "After Wang Tong escaped, I went to see his resume. He was born in a scientific expedition and was familiar with the art of war, so I expected him to become a military advisor if he went to the barbarians."
"So what?"
"So
Look at this." Shen Yunfan took out a book of soldiers from the Southern Wei Dynasty.
Zheng Wanyi flipped it open and looked at it, and her face suddenly became very surprised.
"How is the way the barbarians are attacking these days exactly the same as what is written in this war book?"
"Yes, Wang Tong is familiar with the art of war, but he is too rigid and can only talk on paper. The way he attacked was almost entirely copied from the book of war, so I was able to ambush him again and again."
"I see, being smart is being mistaken by being smart!"
Zheng Wanyi suddenly realized, but then, she said sadly: "But now that Wang Tong is dead, how do you guess later? If you want me to say, you shouldn't have let Marriott go last time."
"If he doesn't accept it, I will naturally let him go."
"Then what if he doesn't accept it for the rest of his life?"
"Back then, Zhuge Wolong captured Meng Shu and subdued him. Today, I, Shen Yunfan, have captured Marriott six times, and I am just about to go the last time, and he will always have a time to serve!" Shen Yunfan said with a smile.
Six Marriott, he naturally has his own considerations.
"Who is Zhuge Wolong? What is the Seven Captures of Meng Huo?"
"Don't you have that here?" Shen Yunfan scratched his head helplessly, and didn't bother to explain, so he changed the topic and said, "Lord Princess, it's so late, it's time for us to sleep."
As he spoke, he reached out to wrap his arms around Zheng Wanyi's waist.
"Hooligan again." Zheng Wanyi glanced at him, turned around and ran away.
"Finally gone." Shen Yunfan's face became serious at this time, and he went out to the military camp of the Jiaozhou Army.
Just now, Hu Chun sent someone to call him, saying that he had some information to say, so he had to go.
In the camp of the Jiaozhou Army, the soldiers were still discussing the recent battles.
"Don't say it, Lord Qincha is really a god, and he can ambush the barbarians every time."
"What's the use of that? Fei Lao grabbed people with great effort, didn't he let them go in the end?"
"That's right, it's been released six times, and everyone has wasted so much effort in vain, and nothing has come of it!"
"Just like Lu Xiucai said, Lord Qincha asked us to work the front line, which is to accumulate military merits for ourselves."
The soldiers complained about this.
At this moment, Shen Yunfan's voice sounded, "Who told you?"
The soldiers present were all pale with fright, and they stood up and saluted, and said, "Lord Qincha, why did you come to the barracks at night?"
"If I don't come to the barracks, I don't know there are such rumors." Shen Yunfan frowned.
He had been busy dealing with barbarian attacks for the past two days, and he had no idea that such rumors were still prevalent in the army.
Now the soldiers didn't dare to hide it, so they said, "This is all said by Lu Xiucai from Linxi County, we just heard about it!"
Shen Yunfan waved his hand and did not punish these soldiers, but said meaningfully: "When the dust settles, you will know that I have good intentions."
