Treacherous ministers have deep routines

"what!?"

"Ying Zhi stole the food and grass?"

"Tong Gao is too deceitful!"

When everyone heard this, they all exploded and began to discuss.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zhi robbed the grain and grass, and even claimed his name, and ran over to claim it with arrogance.

After Wei Man heard this, he felt a "buzz!" in his head, as if it was about to burst open. He was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyeballs were bloodshot and red, and he breathed heavily in an instant.

Wei Man sneered, and said, "Ying Zhi? Well done, follow me to have a look!"

Everyone was also thinking about meeting Ying Zhi for a while, and immediately everyone stood up, followed Wei Man to the gate tower of Juyang City, and looked down.

Ying Zhi didn't bring many people with him, only about 200 people, riding a tall horse, standing under the gate tower, looking very proud.

When Ying Zhi saw Wei Man, she raised her head, "haha" laughed and said, "Leader Wei, don't come here without any problems!"

Wei Man squinted his eyes, lowered his head to look at Ying Zhi, and said coldly, "Ying Zhi, you robbed our army of food and grass, what happened?!"

Ying Zhi burst out laughing again "haha", and said, "Stolen food and grass? Leader Wei, why did you say that? We are just borrowing food and grass, that's all."

What Ying Zhi said was very shameless, Wei Man's face turned cold again in an instant.

Yingzhi then said, "Leader Wei, in fact, I came here to deliver a message to Leader Wei."

Wei Man said in a deep voice, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Ying Zhi laughed and said, "Mr. Tong has something to say. Mr. Wei's younger brother is visiting Mr. Tong's place. Please invite Mr. Wei to come in person to form an alliance with Mr. Tong."

"Alliance?!"

Wei Man sneered, and said, "Does Bandit Tong deserve to talk about Huimeng?"

Tong Gao took Wei Zilian as a bargaining chip, and wanted to form an alliance with Wei Man, which can be said to be very "sincere".

Yingzhi heard Wei Man's sarcasm, and said: "The humble general is just a herald, so whether he will make an alliance or not depends on what you want, Wei Mengzhu. Besides... our Tong Gong is not a generation that can be difficult for others, so Alliance Leader Wei decides on his own, but..."

As he spoke, his voice was drawn out, and then he laughed "hahaha" and said, "However, Master Wei, your younger brother is still a guest in Tong Gong's shogunate. If Master Wei does not come to the alliance, Duke Tong will also I have no choice but to entertain Mr. Wei."

Yingzhi said leisurely: "Mr. Wei's family is well-off, and he is pampered. I don't know if he can get used to the food in our Tong Gongying. If he is not used to it, he can do something..."

Wei Man squinted his eyes and stared at Ying Zhi who had a strange yin and yang, his face was calm, but in fact his fingers were clasped on the top of the city gate, his knuckles were already turning white, and the anger in his heart was "bao babble".

Ying Zhi continued: "Mr. Tong has good intentions, so leader Wei thought about it. Three days later, the humble general will come to see leader Wei. If leader Wei agrees to the alliance, then it will be easy. Let's sit down peacefully. Let’s talk, if Alliance Leader Wei is stubborn and refuses to join the alliance...then, the humble general will bring Mr. Wei’s fingers to Leader Wei, one finger per day, how about it?”

Hearing this, Wei Man was extremely angry, his face was very cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. What he hated the most in his life was that other people threatened him like this.

Yingzhi said: "The words have already been brought, so the humble general will not be with him, and he has to go back to serve Mr. Wei, don't you think so?"

Wei Man was extremely angry, but calmed down, and suddenly said in a dark voice, "You also said that I am just a herald...that's all."

Ying Zhi's attitude was very arrogant. After delivering the message, she was about to leave, but Wei Man suddenly said such nonsense.

Ying Zhi was a little confused, not knowing what Wei Man was referring to.

Wei Man stared coldly at Ying Zhi who was under the city gate, and said, "You also know that you are just a herald. To Tong Thief, you are just a watchdog. No, you are not even as good as a dog..."

Ying Zhi looked at Wei Man strangely, not knowing what he was going to say, and suddenly taunted herself.

Wei Man squinted his eyes, and his voice was extremely hoarse, and said: "The archers are ready, aim at Yingzhi, as long as the leader doesn't shoot him to death, and leave a life for him to climb back and return to life, it doesn't matter how disabled he is."

"Yes!"

Wu Wentai got the order and immediately prepared archers.

When Ying Zhi heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay at all. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the archers were not ready, and hurried away on horseback.

It's just that he was too arrogant just now, so he came to the bottom of the city gate, raised his head and yelled, if he wanted to run out of the shooting range, it would be harder than climbing to the sky.

Wu Wentai's well-trained archers immediately stepped forward and quickly set up their bows to shoot arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Zheng..."

Arrows fell from the sky quickly, like a rain of arrows, "swirling" and falling, forming a large net in an instant, sweeping across the sky and covering the ground.

"Quick! Retreat!"

"retreat!!"

"All troops retreat!"

Because Ying Zhi had a hostage in hand, she thought she had Wei Zilian in her hands, so she held Wei Man in her arms, not daring to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, Wei Man was actually a "not stingy", so he shot an arrow at himself with a ruthless hand.

Wei Man narrowed his eyes, and suddenly stretched out his arms, Zhao Dian next to him immediately put the bow and arrow in Wei Man's hands respectfully.

Wei Man set up his bow to shoot an arrow. He opened the bow to its full capacity, and then "Zheng——", aimed at Ying Zhi, and fired an arrow in an instant.

"what--"

Ying Zhi suddenly roared, and was hit by an arrow in response. There was a stabbing pain on his back shoulder, and was taken by a huge force, and Ying Zhi instantly rolled off the horse's back.

"Gudong!" There was a loud noise.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers shouted: "My lord!"

"Lord!"

"The lieutenant has fallen! The lieutenant has fallen!"

Wei Man squinted his eyes and was about to shoot another arrow, but Lin Rang raised his hand to block Wei Man. Wei Man thought Lin Rang was going to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rang took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve, opened it, wiped the ointment in the medicine bottle on the arrowhead, and said, "It's all right."

Wei Man didn't know what medicine Lin Rang had applied, but he immediately set up his bow and shot an arrow, "Zheng——" again.

Following Jin Ming's voice, followed by Ying Zhi's scream of "Ah!!", this time it was her thigh.

Yingzhi was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and there was Lin Rang's ointment on the arrow. It was not a poison, but an anti-inflammatory ointment, but because the effect was very painful, Lin Rang planned to improve it.

That's when it came in handy...

Ying Zhi was shot by an arrow in his thigh, at first he only felt a tingling pain, and then it was a sharp pain, the pain made him convulse all over, and he couldn't get up from the ground at all.

The soldiers next to him were terrified, they quickly picked up Ying Zhi and ran away. After a while, they all ran away with their helmets and armor removed.

Wei Man squinted his eyes, then threw the bow and arrow on the ground, turned around and went down the gate tower.

Wei Zilian was captured and food was robbed. This was an earth-shattering event. If they didn't have this batch of food, they would have lost a lot, and these losses would automatically make up for Tong Gao, which instantly expanded Tong Gao's power a lot.

The most important thing...is the morale of the army.

Wei Man came down from the city gate and immediately called everyone to the government office to discuss matters, and everyone quickly trotted in.

Before he had time to sit down on the mat, Wei Man had already said: "I'm afraid you all already know the matter, so let's talk about countermeasures."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Having lost such a large amount of food and grass, how should they fight against Tong Gao next?

If you can't resist, why don't you abandon Juyang City?

Juyang City is small, once it is abandoned, the morale of the army lost is great.

If Juyang City falls, I am afraid that the rebels will be disbanded in an instant based on the result of this time, and they will go back to their homes.

The rebels gathered together at first because they were afraid of Tong Gao's dominance. Now Tong Gao threw out the "olive branch" of moving the capital to Xin'an.

In this way, everyone naturally does not want to continue fighting, and only needs an excuse.

This excuse has now fallen on Juyang City.

Wei Man squinted his eyes and said, "The opinions of the gentlemen, in the end...whether to save Wei Zilian or not."

If they want to save Wei Zilian, then they must join Tong Gao's alliance, the alliance is a trap, there may be more dangers than luck, there are many big pits waiting for them.

If Wei Zilian is not rescued, the prestige that Wei Man has always established may be destroyed.

After all, Wei Zilian was a member of the Wei camp, and he was ambushed and captured by Tong Gao in order to transport food and grass. If Wei Zilian was not rescued, the loyalty of the soldiers in the Wei camp would be chilled.

As a result, Wei Man fell into a dilemma.

Not only Wei Man was in a dilemma, but everyone else was also in a dilemma.

Wu Wentai immediately stood up and said: "All this is the fault of the humble general. If it weren't for the humble general's incompetence, the lord sent troops to support him, and he wouldn't be in the current situation. The humble general ordered troops to fight Tong Gao to the death. !"

Lin Rang said calmly: "General Polu, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Everyone is restless, why don't you say it.

Lin Rang said calmly: "Tong Gao robbed food and grass. He had already gained the upper hand, but he still insisted on forming an alliance with the lord. Doesn't this mean that Tong Gao is already at the end of his strength, and has he not been arrogant?"

After hearing this, everyone calmed down and felt that what Lin Rang said was very reasonable.

Although everyone calmed down, they still couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Everyone discussed until dark, and there was no charter, so Wei Man said: "Today, everyone go back to rest first, and tomorrow morning, we will gather at the government office."

"Yes, follow the leader's order!"

Everyone dispersed immediately, and Wei Man and Lin Rang returned to the house.

After the two had a hasty meal, Wei Man kept looking at Lin Rang, as if he had something to say.

Lin Rang also found out, seeing that he was always looking at himself, he said, "My lord, please tell me something."

Wei Man said: "What I mean is that I don't advocate giving up Wei Zilian. On the one hand, Wei Zilian is my younger brother. On the other hand, I don't want to hurt the hearts of the brothers who followed me through life and death."

Lin Rang nodded and said, "My lord is right."

Wei Man said again: "Tong Thief is very scheming and ruthless. If he has no choice, he must join Tong Thief's alliance. This time he must not take you with him."

Before Lin Rang could speak, Wei Man had already firmly robbed him, saying: "Tie Tong has been spying on you. If you join the alliance, you will fall into the trap of yourself, and you just fell into the trap of Tong Bandit."

Lin Rang glanced at Wei Man, and said coldly, "My lord..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Wei Man said decisively: "Absolutely not, even breaking up this time is not allowed."

Lin Rang: "..."
