after being kidnapped by the general

Wu Shanshi was also taken aback, "This..."

Zhou Gongdan smiled slightly, "Youzhou is a military fortress, much more important than Bingzhou, not to mention that Youzhou is the rear area of ​​Chu Hechao and Yuan Lejun, as long as you can capture Youzhou, what are these two afraid of? My lord , This is a great opportunity. Don't look at the fact that Youzhou was too desolate and poor in the past, but now it is different from the past. Mr. Yuan Le has rectified many things in Youzhou. Just look at how he can achieve the current level with a piece of land in Youzhou. Then you can see the potential of Youzhou."

Wu Shanshi's heart was moved, but he soon sighed again, "Jizhou is short of food, and Bingzhou can't intervene, so can you take Youzhou?"

"This is also one of the reasons why the kid thinks his thoughts are vulgar," Zhou Gongdan followed suit, shaking his head with great regret, "but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you, and Youzhou's eyes are all on Bingzhou. Chu Hechao left with his soldiers and horses, and there were only snowstorms and refugees in Youzhou...It's a pity that we don't have food to send troops."

The more Wu Shanshi saw his distressed look, the more his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking Wang Yun again, "Is it true that we can't get enough food to send troops?"

Wang Yun smiled wryly and shook his head, "I really can't make it up."

Wu Shanshi murmured, "It's a pity...it's a pity..."

"Even if we can gather food, we can't attack Youzhou at this meeting," Wei Ji coughed a few times, his voice as old as a dead tree, "Have you forgotten about the New Year's meeting? Li Li killed the Chu king and his wife, and tried Take the eunuch as the scapegoat, and spend a lot of money to attract Chu Hechao and Yuan Lejun, but they rejected them verbally. Their reputation of loyalty spreads all over the world. My lord's going to fight Youzhou now is to fight the loyal ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Do you want to tell the world that you are going to rebel?"

Wu Shanshi broke out in a cold sweat, the previous temptation had long since disappeared, "Uncle is right."

Wei Ji looked at Zhou Gongdan again with cloudy eyes, "Although your idea is good, you can't do it now. Do you have other ideas?"

Zhou Gongdan was sweating in his palms, but it didn't show on his face.He thought about it carefully, "Now we can't stop Chu Hechao from capturing Bingzhou, since this has become a fact... If we can't stop them from the outside, then we can only break them apart from the inside."

Wei Ji's eyes flickered, "Tell me carefully."

Zhou Gongdan lowered his head and said respectfully: "The boy has followed Lord Yuan Le, this is something you all know. But there is one thing, the boy has never told the lord."

Wu Shanshi was slightly curious, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Gongdan said: "Mr. Yuan Le and Chu Hechao are at odds, and there has been a secret suspicion. It's just that it's not good to gossip about the old master behind his back, so the boy has never said it."

The real situation is naturally not the case.

When Zhou Gongdan came to Wu Shanshi's command, he got close to Cai Ji through his experience of defecting from Youzhou to Jizhou together, and used the reason that he was also a corruption escape to get in touch with Cai Ji.

Cai Ji was corrupt himself, so he believed that there is no one in the world who is not corrupt. He believed in what Zhou Gongdan said, because they all had the same experience, and the relationship between Zhou Gongdan and Cai Ji was getting closer.

After getting close, Zhou Gongdan learned from Cai Ji that Cai Ji thought that the relationship between Yuanli and Chu Hechao was not good, and took this as a certificate of defection to Wu Shanshi.

How could Zhou Gongdan not take advantage of such a good thing?

Wei Ji, Mi Tai and the others looked at each other.

Zhou Gongdan's words matched those of Cai Ji, and they were not lying.

Mi Tai looked solemn, pretending to hear about this for the first time: "Is this really true?"

"Zhou does not dare to tell half a lie," Zhou Gongdan said in a straight voice, "Not long ago, Lord Yuan Le was conferred the title of Marquis of Yan on the territory of Youzhou. He is clearly not the main force to kill the leader of the Xiongnu. , but he received more rewards than Chu Hechao. If Li Li continues to sow discord, the rift between Yuan Lejun and Chu Hechao will become deeper."

The counselors looked at each other again and smiled.Mi Tai said slowly: "Wen Ning continue talking."

Zhou Wenning smiled meaningfully, "Youzhou is Chu Hechao's territory, but it allowed Lord Yuan Le to win the title of Lord Yan. I don't believe that Chu Hechao can bear this tone. My lord, we just need to wait for Chu Hechao now." It’s enough for Chao to win Bingzhou. Once he wins Bingzhou, the lord will write a letter to the emperor, proclaiming Yuanle Jun as the governor of Bingzhou. In this way, we have given Yuanle Jun a favor, and we don’t need any means. The two of them are going to fight among themselves."

"Wonderful!" Wang Yun couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Bingzhou, which Chu Hechao worked so hard to conquer, finally became Lord Yuan Le's property, how could he be willing! Once the two fall apart, they will have nothing to fear. Without Mr. Yuan Le, Chu Hechao is just a warrior, and Mr. Yuan Le is just a brat without Chu Hechao. At that time, if the lord gathers his strength, wouldn't he be able to swallow You and the two places in one bite? ?”

Wu Shanshi also felt that this method can be achieved, and it can be called a soldier who surrenders without fighting. He nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle, I think this plan can be achieved, what do you think?"

Wei Ji thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Then follow Wen Ning's wishes."

Wu Shanshi nodded.

Wei Ji closed his eyes, feeling exhausted, "Wen Ning is smart and smart, he can be called another good general of the lord, the lord, don't forget to reward Wen Ning."

Zhou Gongdan immediately said: "I dare not."

Wu Shanshi got up and walked in front of Zhou Gongdan, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't dare, you can just take the reward I gave you. I'm not like your old master. I hope you take more things." I suspect that you are corrupt."

On the contrary, Oh Sun Se really likes the people under his command to show desire for money, beauty or power.

As long as they like something, Wu Shanshi feels that he can control them better.

Zhou Gongdan said with emotion: "Thank you, my lord, the magnanimity of my lord's heart is rare in the world."

Wu Shanshi laughed out loud.

Zhou Gongdan saluted again, lowered his head, and finally let go of the tense boulder in his heart.

At the moment, he is only thankful that it is winter now, and no one can see his underwear that has already been soaked in cold sweat.

But in the end, he achieved his goal.

Zhou Gongdan got up with a smile on his face, but he didn't know, he thought he was happy for Wu Shanshi's reward.

Attacking Bingzhou was the easiest battle in Xinzhou and Guan Zhihuai's careers. In mid-April, Bingzhou had already been taken by them.

They completely wiped out the rebels in Bingzhou, as well as those barbarians who were running amok.

This battle is completely crushing, whether it is the rebel army or the Hu people, it is very difficult for them to fight back.Not only because they were affected by the snowstorm and lost part of their combat capabilities, but also because of the terrifying Youzhou soldiers.

From the cavalry to the infantry, from the skills and physical strength of the soldiers to the equipment, everything was beyond the imagination of the Bingzhou uprising army and the Hu people. They were beaten until they could only cry and beg for mercy.

Not to mention them, the generals who led the troops to fight were also taken aback.

They brought recruits to fight, and they thought that there would be heavy casualties and many problems, but they didn't expect these recruits to be very tenacious in the real fight.The more they fight, the smoother and smoother they are. In just a few months, these recruits have been trained on the battlefield to look like elite troops.

Xinzhou was both surprised and delighted, knowing that these soldiers were trained by Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er, he quickly asked them how to train soldiers.

Guan Zhihuai's complexion was complicated, while Wang Er said with a smile: "Although these soldiers were trained by me and Mr. Guan, the credit does not belong to us, because we all trained soldiers according to my master's method."

"Master Yuan?!" Xinzhou was amazed, "Master Yuan has also dabbled in this area?"

As soon as he talked about the lord, Wang Er was very proud. He said: "My lord is very proficient in many aspects."

Even to deliver a sow, their lord can do it!

Who can compare to this!

Xinzhou was greatly admired, "As expected of Mr. Yuan."

Even Guan Zhihuai, who was not very good at speaking well, said with certainty: "He is indeed a genius, one in a million."

When Chu Hechao passed by them, he heard them praising Yuanli.After a pause, he interjected calmly, "What are you guys talking about?"

As soon as he came, several people were a little cautious, "It's just talking about the method of training soldiers taught by Master Yuan."

Chu Hechao laughed when he heard this, "When he first recruited the army, he told me that he wanted to train an elite army. Mr. Yuan Le meant what he said. This is indeed an elite army."

I'm afraid that if you practice and temper on the battlefield, you will have an unstoppable momentum.

As soon as Chu Hechao mentioned Yuanli, he couldn't contain his crazy yearning.He immediately made up his mind and said to Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er: "Tomorrow I will take Xinzhou back first, and you two will stay in Bingzhou to garrison until Youzhou sends someone to take over Bingzhou before you leave, understand?"

The two nodded.

Early the next morning, Chu Hechao left Bingzhou with his cavalry and many spoils of war.

Ten days later, they finally returned to Ji County, Youzhou.

When Yuan Li heard that they were coming back, he greeted them in front of the city gate early in the morning. From a distance, he saw Chu Hechao and his party.

After the group of people approached, he saw clearly the leader Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao's chin was dotted with cyan stubble, his jaw was tense, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a murderous aura that had just come off the battlefield.

The scarlet cloak fluttered, he was wearing armor, he was as tall as a mountain, with his fingers around the reins, he was looking firmly towards the city gate.

After seeing Yuan Li, those eyes that hide the cold star suddenly became extremely hot.Chu Hechao put his legs between the horse's belly, raised the whip, and the yellow sand rolled, and he ran to Yuan Li's side first.

The wind and sand blew up, and Yuan Li's clothes were blown up by the wind. He closed his eyes to protect himself from the wind and sand.

Chu Hechao looked at him burningly, from the hair to the toes, from the hem of the robe to the neckline, he felt that there was no place that did not agree with his heart, and there was no place that did not make his blood agitated.

The man didn't speak, but Yuan Li could feel that his eyes were scanning his body inch by inch, like being stripped naked in public.His eyelids trembled, a faint blush appeared on his face, he slowly opened his eyes, and said uncomfortably, "You're back?"

Chu Hechao smiled hoarsely, "Well, I'm back."

Yuanli didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, he said, "Are you injured?"

"Let's talk about this matter when we get back to the mansion." Chu Hechao stretched out his hand towards him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and said in a serious manner, "It's too slow to walk back to the mansion, why don't sister-in-law ride the same horse with me?"

Yuan Li collected himself and reached out to catch his hand.

Chu Hechao pulled Yuan Li onto the horse with force, and whipped his whip, "Drive!"

The war horse rushed forward quickly, leaving everyone else behind.
