Just when Yangcheng County took advantage of the Spring Festival to reconstruct a new power system, the Huya Pass, which was far away from the border, was surging at this time.

Since the retreat of the grassland allies outside the pass, the haze that shrouded the defenders of Huya Pass has dissipated somewhat.

Now that it is the Spring Festival, Kannai has also begun to celebrate this few festivals in red and color.

Some time ago, the new faction officials represented by Zhu Cong in the Guannai got in touch with Kyoto, and after a compromise between the two sides, they received a large amount of military salaries, grain and grass from the Guannai.

It's not that Zhu Cong is willing, it's really that Huya Pass, as a military fortress, can't afford to support their army of more than 30,000 at all.

It was also a helpless move to shake hands with the Kyoto rebel army and make peace.

When truckloads of grain were transported from the Guannai, many generals in the Huya Pass who originally supported Yun Bi's use of troops against Kyoto also began to waver in their hearts.

Do you have to fight with Kannai until you die? After all, they were all once the people of Great Xia.

At any time, you can only do things when you have enough to eat, and the same is true for these soldiers who defend their homes and country.

As the military rations and soldiers' salaries were distributed to the barracks, Zhu Cong's prestige in the hearts of the defenders in Huya Pass rose for a while.

On the other hand, Yun Bi has always refused to have any negotiations with Guannai, and it is indeed a bleak situation at this time.

In the Huyaguan military camp, in Yun Bi's Chinese army tent, several henchmen were summoned by Yun Bi to gather in the military tent.

"What are the rumors in the army?"

Yun Bi's voice came slowly, but his voice was a little hoarse, and it still smelled of gunpowder.

Previously, Zhu Cong and Yun Bi had a quarrel and took away a large number of officers and soldiers in the army, and now they have received funding from the Kyoto Rebel Army, and they no longer know who the boss in Huya Pass is.

Although Yun Bi had expected this situation in his heart, now that it has become a reality, he is somewhat aggrieved.

Not to mention how many great military exploits he Yunbi has made, Zhu Cong and their choice to compromise with the Kyoto rebel army is a betrayal in his opinion.

But now the Guannai army is disheartened, and they no longer support him to drive the troops in the Guannai, if he really acts forcefully, he is afraid that it will cause the soldiers to mutiny.

This time, Yun Bi summoned his henchmen to come, just to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Cong.

The current Zhu Cong is no longer the small captain he used to be, and there are many war-weary generals under his command in addition to some of Wang Meng's old subordinates.

If the split situation of the defenders in the Guannai is allowed to continue, I am afraid that without the Kyoto Rebel Army sending troops to fight, even the soldiers who follow them will run to Zhu Cong's side because of hunger.

Therefore, Yun Bi is ready to assassinate Zhu Cong, and if he succeeds, he will directly move his troops south to sweep away the rebellious party.

Yun Bi's idea is very beautiful, but how to assassinate Zhu Cong is a difficult problem.

After breaking up with the other party, Zhu Cong will inevitably be on guard, and it is impossible to assassinate him directly in the barracks.

Thinking of this, Yun Bi shifted his attention to the head of this Spring Festival.

Now Huya Pass has long been divided into two parts, one is for Yun Bi to occupy the large and small city towers in Huya Pass, and camp in the center of the city.

And Zhu Cong, who fled, settled in the north of the city and drew a clear line with Yun Bi's army.

Now Zhu Cong's side has received material assistance because of the support of the Kyoto Rebel Army, but Yun Bi's side is still poor.

In this context, Yun Bi is ready to make his henchmen and generals pretend to surrender and gain the trust of the other party before carrying out assassination.

In this era when human life is like a mustard, it is not worth mentioning compared to power, and between three words, Yun Bi seems to have decided Zhu Cong's life and death.

Early in the morning of the second day, the periphery of the big tent of the Chinese army in Huya Pass was full of soldiers watching around, and on the high platform next to the military tent, a naked military general was tied.

"The forbidden army's partial general, Lu Renyi, bewitched the crowd with his evil words, and fought twenty military sticks."

As a herald shouted the military order in front of everyone, the onlookers below couldn't help but shudder.

In addition to being surprised that Yun Bi would make such a heavy hand, he couldn't help but worry about Lu Renyi, who was about to be tortured.

"After the battle of the twenty armies, General Lu's legs are still not broken?"

Many soldiers silently prayed for Lu Renyi in their hearts, hoping that the executed soldiers could be lighter.

Although this Lu Renyi's position is not high, he is only a partial general in the forbidden army, but he has accumulated a lot of prestige for him by being stationed at Huya Pass all year round.

And on weekdays, Lu Renyi also eats and sleeps with the soldiers, and he has no commander's frame at all, so it can be said that he is deeply loved by the soldiers.

Therefore, when he heard that Yun Bi was going to deal with Lu Renyi who disobeyed his military orders, not only the soldiers in his headquarters, but even the soldiers in the other camps couldn't help but sympathize with Lu Renyi.

When they heard the herald soldiers say that they were going to fight the 20th Army battle, the first reaction of these soldiers was that Yun Bi wanted to kill the other party.

After all, in military law, even the strongest soldiers have never heard of anyone who can resist forty battles.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the army, if there are commanders who want to deal with their subordinates, most of them choose to be punished, as for whether it is simple or really to kill the other party, it depends on their own meaning.

As the executioner raised the stick alof, a wail was heard as it fell.

"This is to really kill General Lu."

A veteran soldier had tears in his eyes at this time, and he wanted to be punished on behalf of Lu Renyi, but there was no rule in military law to be punished on behalf of others, so he could only kneel on the ground and ask the executioner to be lighter.

As the veteran knelt down, groups of generals and soldiers behind him followed suit.

The power generated by hundreds of people kneeling down together frightened the executioners into not daring to move, and turned their heads to look at the Yunbi guards who were in charge of the inspector on the side.

But before the guards could speak, a roar of Yunbi came from the military tent.

"What's the matter, keep fighting."

As an angry shout came from the tent, the executioner could only raise the stick in his hand and hit Lu Renyi's buttocks, but the force was much lighter.

There is no way, Lu Renyi's prestige in the army is too strong, although his military rank is not high, he can be regarded as the second-in-command figure except for Yun Bi.

If you really want to beat Lu Renyi badly, you don't have to retaliate from the other party, the group of soldiers under Lu Renyi will have to bully him to death.

An hour later, there was no one near the big tent of the Chinese army, and the injured Lu Renyi was also pulled down for treatment.

In a dilapidated tent, a group of forbidden soldiers gathered around Lu Renyi lying on the bed, feeling indignant about what happened to him.

"The surname Yun is too much of a thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."

A rough-looking man looked at Lu Renyi's bloody buttocks, and his anger instantly swept through his heart, and he directly insulted Qi Yunbi in the big tent without fear of death.

And the generals around the man did not stop him when they saw this, and there were even some people who nodded in agreement.

But Lu Renyi, who was lying on the bed and gritting his teeth in pain, didn't say anything at this time, and didn't seem to hear the voice in his ears.

When the noisy scolding gradually ended, Lu Renyi didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the atmosphere in the tent began to become depressed.

"This Yun Bi is so ruthless, I'm afraid we won't be able to tolerate it in the future, so it's better to take refuge in Zhu Cong."

I don't know who suddenly said such a sentence, which made everyone raise their hearts to their throats.

You must know that even if he insulted Shangguan before, it was just a complaint, and if he really switched to Zhu Cong, it would really make Yun Bi murderous.

For a while, there was silence in the tent, and even breathing began to become rapid.

These soldiers of different official positions turned their heads to look at Lu Renyi who was lying on the bed, and the other party also reacted at this time.

I saw Lu Renyi trying to twitch his body, leaned forward to his torso, and said in a deep voice, "I, Lu Renyi, have been in the future for decades, how can I ever be so humiliated." ”

"Your brothers look up to me and call me a general, but my today is not your tomorrow."

"Originally, I thought Yun Bi was a rare loyal person, but now it seems to be a stubborn piece of rotten wood."

Lu Renyi's words can be regarded as a complete conclusion for the switch to Zhu Cong just now, and he is also fed up with Yun Bi!

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into a short silence, and some people also showed a little embarrassment on their faces.

The reason why they followed Yun Bi proved that they were all loyal to the generals of Great Xia and had a temperate temperament, if they really took refuge in Zhu Cong, wouldn't it seem that they were ignorant before?

But now that Lu Renyi, who has been spanked and flowered, is lying in front of him, how to choose has become a difficult problem.

"General Lu, what do you say, the brothers will listen to you."

It was the rough man who cursed Yun Bi at the beginning who was the first to speak, expressing firm approval of Lu Renyi's decision.

He himself is a military general brought out by Lu Renyi, and now that his good brother is suffering, he will definitely not be able to suffer this wretched spirit under Yun Bi's hands.

With the one who took the lead, everyone in the tent also made up their minds and began to move forward one by one to say that they were all looking forward to Lu Renyi.

Lu Renyi, who was lying on the bed, also looked at the people who came towards him with a solemn face, and took out the plan he had just hatched.

Late at night, Lu Renyi's military tent walked out one after another, and when these people left, their faces not only had the resentment they came, but also a little unpredictable worry.

In the big tent of the Chinese army not far from Lu Renyi's camp, Yun Bi was sitting upright in front of the table, listening carefully to the report of a military general.

"Is Lu Renyi reliable?"

Listening to the scar-faced man in front of him, Yun Bi still asked out loud with some uncertainty.

It turned out that today's punishment of Lu Renyi was fake, and it was true that he wanted to dismantle him and assassinate Zhu Cong.

In this bitter plan against Zhu Cong, the only one who Yun Bi couldn't make up his mind was Lu Renyi.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, Lu Renyi's eighteen members of his family died tragically in Kyoto at the hands of the rebels, and he will not defect no matter what."

Listening to Scarface's explanation, Yun Bi felt a little more relieved and waved his hand to signal the other party to step back.

Now that the stage has been set up, it depends on whether this Zhu Cong can be put on the set.

If Zhu Cong is allowed to continue to get military salaries from Kyoto, he is afraid that it will never be possible to wave the army south.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know if I should do this."
