Ding Kui simply ordered the full recovery of the cities and counties occupied by the rebels, except for Jiande County.

In a short period of time, the imperial court army was strong, and nine legions were active in the four counties in the southwest of Zhuwangzhou, with more than ten sixth-level combat power, and soon cleared out the pseudo-** supported by the rebels during the enemy occupation.

However, Jiande County, which had been reduced by five legions, was unusually quiet, and even the scout battle did not break out.

Xuanyuan Su went to the headquarters in advance every day to check all kinds of information in person.

"What is Ding Kui going to do? Let go of the east and only surround us to the north and west, do you think I will divide my troops and march east?" he wanted to know what Ding Kui was thinking.

The counterinsurgency general is the number one enemy of all rebels, and all military operations against the rebels are initiated by him.

Strictly speaking, any action against the rebels is the work of Ding Kui.

Let's say espionage.

Yang Mian came to the door of the study, cleared his throat, and said, "Child Yang Mian, I ask to see my father." ”

"Come in. "Yang Chao didn't go to the theater headquarters today.

"Tell me quickly, I'm going to go to the warehouse later. He gestured to the chair in front of him and motioned for his son to sit down.

Yang Mian sat down gently: "Father, it's like this......"

"What? Ding Kui sent someone to give you a gift, what is it? What about the person who gave the gift? Why did he give you a gift?"

Yang Chao stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and the question in his mouth was not only to ask his son but also to himself.

Why did the counterinsurgency general suddenly contact the Yang family?

What is the conspiracy here?

It is a good thing for ordinary people to give gifts, but the minutes when the number one enemy sends gifts are fatal.

"Ten boxes, full of a cart, the child opened one and saw that it was full of gold coins, estimated to be 100,000. Yang Mian came to his father immediately after receiving it.

One million gold coins, in the era of war and chaos, it is also a huge amount of money for the Yang family.

The gold coins of the Shaodian Kingdom can still circulate in the country, but the kingdom is divided into camps, and the old gold coin cards are no longer universal, and cash is the hard currency.

"An old man hired a car to transport it, he is a retired instructor of the County Knights' Guild. ”

"We are from Dingguo County?" Yang Chao had a complicated expression.

Yang Mian nodded.

The "civil servants" on their own territory actually have a connection with Ding Kui, needless to say, most of them are people from the Espionage Department, and they have been lurking in Dingguo County a long time ago.

Yang Chao asked, "Didn't he say anything?"

He said that Dai Ding Kui greeted the child and you, and hoped to have the opportunity to catch up with the child, and the money was Ding Kui's thank you for my hospitality back then. After Yang Mian finished speaking, his throat was dry and he swallowed his saliva wildly.

"You!" Yang Chao snapped the case, "Fooled! He talked to you about the old days, why did you entertain him to thank him for a million gold coins?"

There was no one else in the study, and he could scold his son.

"The child didn't know beforehand, and he came to you as soon as he took it. Yang Mian drooped his head, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Alas, there have been a lot of wars recently, but we have neglected to take precautions in this regard. Someone, follow the young master to arrest the person who gave the gift!"

Yang Chao didn't expect Ding Kui to suddenly make such a move, and he didn't expect that the target was actually his son, and this matter must have a lot of plans.

Yang Mian hurriedly led someone to find the old man who sent the gold coins.

They first went to the County Knights' Guild to inquire about the old man's situation, and then went directly to the door, but they came to nothing, and there was no one in the old man's house.

Although Yang Chao didn't understand Ding Kui's intentions, he didn't allow spies to operate in his backyard, so he ordered to search for the old man with all his might.

The next day, the Yang family enshrined the old man outside the county and caught him.

"Letter from the head of the house. The servant sent a letter to Yang Chao.

Yang Chao's face darkened after reading it.

"Ding Kui! I can't imagine that you will even use this method. Regret was written on his face.

Yang Mian asked tremblingly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Letter from your grandfather......"

It turned out that a small event happened in Xingbang City, and Shaodian sent a letter to Xingbang City, proposing to invite Shaodian Yong to Zhenjing City to discuss national affairs.

How could Shaodian Yong agree to such a request, but he didn't refuse directly, and instead invited Shaodian to Xingbang City, saying that he wanted to figure out how to resolve the curse of the demon clan.

Both sides showed enough hypocrisy, and after pretending to be generous, they dug holes for each other.

Zhenjing replied that it was not appropriate for the new king to go to the place when he ascended the throne, and if Shaodian Yong could show sincerity, such as sending the rebellious Yang Feng and Pan Hong to the capital, then the king would consider going to Xingbang City for a walk.

Yang Zhao, who was in Xingbang City, heard the news and immediately realized that Ding Kui was playing a discordant scheme.

He received a summons from Yang Chao and knew that Ding Kui was making small moves in his hometown.

"Discord plan?" Yang Mian didn't understand.

"This is not a simple division, but a multi-directional division, and you should learn more. ”

Yang Chao didn't blame his son for his slow reaction, and even he didn't understand it at first.

"First of all, he separated the king and the Yang family, but his methods were too clumsy, and he deliberately left a huge flaw, because the spy was dead, the Yang family was a little inexplicable;

Then he will separate the king from the army and the general, because the relationship between the king and my family, combined with the money you collect, can make the king suspicious;

This is not the end, if Yang Feng and Pan Hong and other generals learn that the spy died in an unknown way, they will also be suspicious of the Yang family.

......”

Yang Mian was shocked and stunned, this string of discordant relationships had not yet been straightened out.

"The people around the king have already asked the head of the family about your collection of money. Alas, I am also to blame for my inconsiderate thinking, frightened by the sinister nonsense, and forced to kill him, but on the contrary, I complicated the matter, and now I can't say it clearly. ”

After worshipping and arresting the spies, Yang Chao went to interrogate them in person, but he heard a conspiracy theory, which frightened him to kill the spies quickly, so as not to prevent Yang Mian and the Yang family from being splashed with dirty water by the spies.

Who would have thought that the spy was a dead man, and he came to send him to death, and the dirty water always fell on the Yang family.

Yang Chao and Yang Zhao didn't know that Ding Kui also summoned Shaodian Yong in his private capacity, asking Shaodian Yong to kill Yang Feng to avenge Ding Dao, or let Yang Feng lead the troops to fight him to the death.

This is another divisive scheme.

Shaodian Yong convened his henchmen to discuss.

"Lone and the Ding family have always been good friends, and after ascending the throne, they did not treat Ding Kui badly, although there are evil words, it is not an inextricable solution. Is it possible that this Ding Kui can be used by Lone?"

Compared with Ding Kui, Yang Feng and Shaodian Yong want to get Ding Kui more.

Qiu Heng, the chief of the Government Council, was the chief staff of Shao Dian Yong during the Yinsha Island period.

"Ding Kui just helped Shaodian Feng to restore the throne, that is his brother-in-law, no matter how good the relationship between the king and him is, they can't compare to them, this time it's just his divisive plan. Qiu Heng could see it clearly.

"Separation between Lone and Yang Feng? Of course Lone will not kill Yang Feng, who will submit to me after doing this? I can consider letting Yang Feng and Ding Kui fight head-on, first, to test Yang Feng's loyalty and ability, and second, to give Ding Kui a little face. ”

"Absolutely not!" Qiu Heng persuaded, "Ding Kui's purchase of the Yang family has not been investigated clearly, in case the Yang family gives Yangfeng small shoes to wear, it will be your people who will suffer." ”

"Yang Aiqing has handed over the stolen money, and she will never betray the court, Qiu Qing is worried. Shaodian Yong did not doubt the Yang family.

"The Yang family and the Jiang family are in-laws, the Jiang family and the Ding family are also in-laws, and Ding Kui is a distant relative of the Yang family. How did the 1 million gold coins get to Dingguo County? Yang Mian had a friendship with Ding Kui, so why was he in a hurry to kill the person who sent the money? Can't he be handed over to the Espionage Department to investigate?

This matter is full of suspicions, although the Yang family will not betray the court, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not help Ding Kui seek some personal interests. There is one more thing that Weichen doesn't know whether to say or not. Qiu Heng looked left and right, revealing hesitation.

"And all the people in the house are trustworthy. ”

"It is said that Yang Kui has a lot of complaints about Yangfeng, it is related to the two of them who have been hostile for a long time, since Yangfeng returned to our dynasty, the commander of Yang seems to distrust him, there is an estrangement within the North Route Army, and then the war is not smooth, it can be said that Ding Kui beat him home.

Yang Kui is Yang Chao's confidant and favorite general, it is difficult for Yang Feng to find a suitable position in our dynasty, and the Yang family will not allow Yang Feng to come out regardless of whether they collude with Ding Kui or not. ”

These words are a bit heavy, and they can be regarded as criticizing the important ministers and generals in the court, Qiu Heng will never say it publicly.

"Well, it's not uncommon for generals to get along. Now is not the time to eradicate dissidents, the Yang family should understand. Shaodian Yong's heart was a little shaken.

"The king, the Yang family's power leans towards the government and the opposition, controlling most of the military power, and now that Yang Feng is coming to vote, he can be used to balance the Yang family. "Qiu Heng is very jealous of the power of the Yang family.

"But Yang Feng is a merciless and unrighteous person, Gui Shun Gu was forced by Ding Kui, and he has no foundation in the army, and no one in the commander's mansion will obey him. ”

To put it bluntly, Shaodianyong still doesn't like Yangfeng, and Shaodianji's death is somewhat related to Yangfeng.

"Yang Feng is a smart man, as long as the king supports him, he doesn't dare to have different intentions. He has not gained the upper hand in the war with him for several years, and his military ability is one of the best in our dynasty, and it is impossible to say that he is not entrusted with important tasks. ”

"How do you reuse him?"

Qiu Heng replied: "Yang Feng has the Seventeenth Army in his hand, which is an old regular army, and the king should personally review it, and then he can stay near the capital." The king ordered Yang Feng to train recruits and train young officers, and in time he could occupy a place in the Commander's Palace. ”

Shaodian Yong's eyes lit up, and it was a great thing for a fighting and loyal legion to stay by his side.

"Okay! According to this meaning, you must review the Seventeenth Legion, so that the people of the world can return to their hearts. ”

......

"The traitor wants to review the Seventeenth Legion, hehe, who came up with the idea? Ding Kui didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

Shaodian Yong issued a clear decree to publicize this matter, and he could get the news without using spies.

"The lord will break his arm with a little trick, and the strength of his Northern Route Army will be greatly reduced, and it will be easier for us to deal with it in the future. As for Yang Feng, it's good to let the traitors fight among themselves for a few years. Liu Yu praised and secretly persuaded.

"It's not my plan, it's Fei Ze's credit. Ding Kui did not shy away from the people around him.

The others didn't know what to understand, but Kong Ren guessed a little, "The only ones who can reach over there are the Security Bureau and the Espionage Department, and Mr. Fei is the only one who can play so smart." ”

Liu Yu chuckled while looking at the information: "Hehe, this kind of thing is only he can do, and several big people have been played with by him." ”
