Sir, I can do it!

It was ten days after Wei Zhao left that Cui Feng realized something was wrong.

The army's autumn grain has not arrived in Shuozhou for a long time, and he ordered the siege of Yunzhou, but there was no response from the four states.So they sent scouts to investigate, only to find out that the generals of the two states had been killed quietly, and the army had already changed generals.The generals and officials of the other two states did not listen to orders.However, the government was hijacked by the army, and all the papers submitted to the court were intercepted.

Cui Feng was dumbfounded at the time.He sent dark satellites to rush to Shengjing at night, but all the roads leading to Shengjing were blocked by the states.Not only that, they also deducted the food and salary allocated by Shengjing.

Cui Feng's hair turned grey, looking at the food that was decreasing day by day.

Hong Kun obviously also fell into a panic, he didn't expect Wei Zhao to keep such a trick.The generals of the four states have nothing to do with the Wei family, and the Wei family army was seriously injured in the battle of Beiguan City last year. Where did he get so many people...

No, even if he has capable people and strangers in his hands, it is impossible to control the four states at the same time in such a short period of time.Unless there are still people from him in the four states, and there are not a few of them.

"Lord Hong, what should we do? If there is no more rations and the army mutinies, then how will we deal with ourselves?"

Hong Kun has lived a long life, and has suffered many setbacks in his life, so he is used to judging the situation.He has already seen that Cui Feng at this time is the turtle in the urn.Although the Cui family has the upper hand in Shengjing, he also knows in his heart that once Wei Zhao returns to Beijing, the hidden forces of the Wei family will surface.And if Cui Feng lost the six northern states at this time, and there was no military support outside Cui's family, he would be a paper tiger with a strong outside but a weak inside.Unless the Cui family can reverse the situation before Wei Zhao returns to Beijing.But it seems to be too late.

He and Cui Feng are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, not to mention that Wei Zhao knew of his existence, so he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

"...Then we can only fight with them." Hong Kun said: "You still have 15 troops in your hand, you can't just keep wasting food. Let's lead the army to fight back to the capital."

Cui Feng said in shock: "Isn't that a rebellion?"

Hong Kun laughed and said: "The imperial court still believes that the Wei family army rebelled, but you and I know in our hearts, has the Wei family really rebelled? How can it be considered a rebellion? It is nothing more than rebelling against Wei Zhao and returning to the capital, and we will lead the army to serve the king and defend the capital."

Cui Feng thought about it carefully, his face turned pale, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Mr. Hong."

Hong Kun waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, it's hard to say whether this move will be successful or not. The four states in Shuobei are closed off roads. We have to get out to Shuobei first before we can talk about the rest of the matter."

Cui Feng's restless heart sank instantly.

"No matter what, we have to fight a bloody way. Wei Zhao used force to suppress the four states, but the generals and officials of the four states have been operating in Shuobei for many years, and the forces are deeply intertwined. It will not be cleared up at once. He just won the military power temporarily. We can contact the officials of the four states, and cooperate with the outside world, and we will surely rehabilitate the four states."

Hong Kun said: "There are people from the Qin family in all the major academies in Shuobei."

Cui Feng stopped talking.

Wei Zhao had already infiltrated the circle of literati in the six prefectures of Shuobei long before taking charge of the army.Even if they are quiet, they are a force that should not be underestimated when they are about to make a fuss.

Because there has been a gust of wind blowing in the six states of Shuobei, calling for grievances for the Wei family.The literati wrote about the loyalty of the Wei family and the treachery of the Cui family.He couldn't help suppressing the officials in Shuobei who were ready to move, and also created enough momentum for Wei Zhao's return to Beijing.

The Cui family would put all their eggs in one basket as early as Wei Zhao had calculated.Before Cui Feng could take any action, rumors spread in the army.Said that the Cui family conspired against them, but falsely accused the Wei family army, colluded with Wan Yanmin to kill Wei Xuan, and colluded with Beidi Suolang Khan to kill Wei Ru, which almost caused the Beiguan City to be destroyed.Now that the emperor has the evidence, he ordered Wei Zhao to go to Beijing to argue, in order to restore the Wei family's innocence.

The imperial court suspected that the Cui family had the intention of rebelling, and wanted to seize the military power in Shuobei and help the seventh prince to ascend to the throne. The matter was revealed, and the court's failure to pay food was the best proof.

As soon as the rumors came out, there was an uproar in the army.Everyone remembered that when Wei Xuan was besieged that day, he had said——God is manifest!

"General Wei was forced out of the city because of food and grass. I heard that before that, the army had been hungry for several days. Do we want to do the same? There is no food, and the court will not give food."

A timid soldier burst into tears immediately, saying: "I don't want to kill the guards, but General Cui watched, if I don't kill him, he will kill me. I, I was forced."

"The Wei family army died unjustly, it must be their unjust souls who were unwilling to give up, and gave the emperor a dream."

A quick-thinking soldier said: "The little general of the Wei family has gone to Beijing. His sister is Queen Wei, and the emperor is vacant. It is said among the people that the emperor loves the queen, and he would rather leave the latter vacant than no longer be a queen." This little general Wei is even more loved by Empress Wei. I heard that the emperor gave him many privileges when he was in the capital. He is a well-known playboy in Shengjing."

"The Wei family was convicted of treason first, but now the emperor summoned General Wei to the capital, leaving General Cui behind and refusing to give food. Isn't this clear that the Wei family has the upper hand? In my opinion, we It’s better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible.”

"You mean, let's go to the Wei Family Army?"

"But it hasn't been finalized yet, just in case..."

"If you don't stop, you will be subject to chaos. You still don't understand, the Wei family is full of confidence..."

When Cui Feng and Hong Kun were tied up and thrown on the martial arts arena, they realized how terrifying Wei Zhao's power is.They cleaned up and down Shuozhou City, and there are still so many fish slipping through the net.

He suddenly thought that when soldiers surrounded Weixuan at Gaolan Mountain Pass, his soldiers fought against the enemy and showed their loyalty with their lives.But in front of him, these soldiers who followed him all the way from the capital actually pointed their finger at him in the end.

He smiled bitterly: "Did I treat you badly?"

Well, it's really good.He treated the soldiers very leniently, so tolerant that the soldiers could enter and leave the flower building at will, and they could run rampant in the city, as long as they didn't hurt the lives of the people, no one would deal with them.

but--

"Soldiers should look like soldiers." A captain said. "If you treat them well, it will destroy their will as soldiers, and make them lose their military spirit and become useless people who can only linger among women. You treat them well because you want to buy the soldiers' hearts and let them serve you used. This is not a soldier, this is a slave."

Hong Kun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and asked him, "How did you do it?"

The captain smiled.He took off his armor, unbuttoned his clothes, and engraved two words on his strong back: stability.

Hong Kun didn't understand.

Du Wei said: "We are the soldiers of the Duke of Qi. General Wei Shang told us that the Anding Army takes the stability of the world as its mission—"

The overall situation in Shuobei is tentative.Just as Cui Feng said, although it is suppressed by force, there are still various problems in the six states of Shuobei.Fortunately, Wei Li has experience in managing Beiyan, so Wei Li handles Shuobei affairs with ease.

On the day the army escorted Cui Feng and Hong Kun to leave, Wei Zhao had already arrived in Shengjing City.

Xu Dingguo stared blankly at the majestic Shengjing city gate, and couldn't help opening his mouth: "This is Shengjing city, it really is prosperous."

Wei Fang supported his chin, closed his mouth, and said with a smile: "Quickly shut your mouth, there are ox carts and horse carts coming in and out of this city gate, and there are feces everywhere, you don't mind the smell. .”

Xu Dingguo laughed and said, "What's the matter? Which one of us in the village doesn't raise some poultry, and when plowing the fields, we need to use manure to fertilize it."

He turned his head and saw Wei Zhao's expressionless face, so he couldn't help but carefully said, "Little general, did I embarrass you?"

Wei Zhao smiled at him and shook his head: "Shengjing City has a lot of delicious and interesting things, I'll ask someone to show you around later."

Xu Dingguo was overjoyed at first, and then said: "No, no, I am the little general's personal soldier, and I want to protect the little general personally."

Wei Zhao just laughed at him: "It's the time for young people to be lively, so don't restrict your temperament. Go for a stroll, and you should be familiar with it. After all, we will stay in Shengjing for a long time."

Xu Dingguo smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Success! Thank you, little general!"

The city of Shengjing was still as prosperous as ever, but Wei Zhao walked past the heavy traffic, but his heart was deserted and empty.

He has walked through that alley of Hou's Mansion countless times, but it has never been like today. He is afraid to go back there.The closer to the alley, the deeper the panic in my heart.

Guarding the Hou's mansion is the official of the Ministry of Punishment. Because the old lady Wei and Wei Xi were both imprisoned in the sky prison, only the servants were imprisoned in the mansion.Although Li Huai convicted Wei's family of treason, but because Wei Zhao occupied Beiyan at that time, Li Huai feared that Wei Zhao would force him to threaten the safety of Shuobei, so he did not order the house to be ransacked.As a result, the Hou Mansion was stable.

As for those Xiao Xiao who wanted to do something secretly, they would not get any benefit with Wei An guarding the Hou Mansion.

It's just that the hidden activities are easy to solve, but the obvious ones are really embarrassing.

Wei Zhaocai turned into the alley, and heard crying inside.He immediately rode his horse and galloped, dismounted at the door and galloped into the mansion.But I saw a group of soldiers roughly picking up things in the flower hall, and some people were going to the main courtyard.The servants tried their best to stop him, and one of the soldiers drew out a knife on the spot and chopped down the servant.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment smiled and said: "The emperor asked the younger ones to guard the Hou's mansion. If there is no order from the emperor, no one is allowed to trespass on the Hou's mansion..."

The leader of the soldiers shouted: "I have the emperor's order, the Wei family is rebelling, and the emperor ordered me to search the Hou's mansion..."

"How dare you dare to falsely pass on the holy will!" Wei Zhao's eyes were scarlet, and the anger accumulated in his heart gushed out instantly, and he said: "Wei Fang, Dingguo, take this person down quickly!"

Wei Zhao didn't go to Beijing alone, just to speed up the journey, he and Wei Shuhua only brought Wei Fang and Xu Dingguo and a dozen personal guards, and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses were still behind.

But these dozens of personal guards are enough to deal with these seemingly useless soldiers.

Seeing the menacing approach, the leader of the soldiers roared, "I have ordered from the emperor, who dares to..."

Xu Dingguo swung his fist and said viciously, "Who gave you the courage to yell at my general?"

Wei Zhao stared at him coldly: "What are you? Even if my Wei family is really guilty, if you want to raid a marquis's mansion, you must have the emperor's imperial decree, and the commander of the forbidden army will lead the troops to raid the house. Dare to break into the Hou's Mansion without permission? Wei Fang, whichever foot he stepped into the Hou's Mansion, he chopped off my foot, and whenever he touched something in my Hou's Mansion, he chopped off that hand!"

Facing Shang Wei Zhao's dark and cold eyes, the soldier leader finally knew he was afraid.He prostrated himself on the ground and cried, "Yes, Master Cui ordered me to come here..."

"Procrastinate! Whoever Master Cui asked him to come here, I will give his hands and feet to that Master Cui. Just say it is the salute of the third son Wei of the Zhenguohou's Mansion to return to Beijing, please accept it!"

Wei Fang dragged the man out of the Hou's Mansion to execute the punishment, but Wei Zhao still smelled the smell of blood blowing into the mansion with the wind.

He doesn't like blood, it reminds him of the icy and bloody land of Yelanggou, where the blood is filled with freezing cold, which is shocking to the bone.

But from the moment he stepped into Shengjing, he was destined to pave a road with the blood of those people, a road of revenge.
