Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Chen Ji is indeed using a strategy of slowing down the army.

The current Chen Ji has no food, no soldiers, and no money. He is already a bare-bones commander.

After Chen Ji surrendered, the little emperor was very indifferent, but repeatedly asked Chen Ji to return to Beijing.

Chen Ji knew that it was impossible to return to Beijing, and the military power could not be handed over. The only right way was to delay the opportunity.

But the imperial court was under a lot of pressure and had to find a way to please the little emperor.

Coincidentally, it has been raining recently, which has caused floods in many areas. The war has been tense, and few people have built water power. As a result, floods have flooded many counties and counties.

When the little emperor heard about this matter, he attached great importance to it, and even planned to go to the disaster-stricken area in person to consolidate his royal prestige.

In this way, Chen Ji felt that he had seized the opportunity. This opportunity couldn't be better. As long as he paid some tribute of money and food for disaster relief, the relationship with the court would be eased.

but……

The problem is that Chen Ji's money is too tight, and he can't afford too much food, grass and money.

In the end, they could only scrape together and sell iron, and then they gathered some money, which was ready to be sent to the capital to please the little emperor.

In the capital of Xuanyang, the little emperor was reviewing documents in his bedroom when he happened to see the disaster relief food presented by Chen Ji.

The little emperor couldn't help but sneered, "Heh...".

Wei Zixiu was waiting on the side, and when he heard the little emperor laughing, he turned to look at him and said, "My lord?"

The little emperor shook the document in his hand and said, "Zixiu, come and take a look, this is the disaster relief food Chen Ji sent up."

Wei Zixiu took the document from the little emperor's hand and opened it to look at it. He was a little dazed when he saw it. The relief food...

The amount of relief food is too small.

The little emperor said quietly: "In the past, when Chen Ji hindered me from ascending the throne, the scenery was so magnificent, but now, I can't even bring out the relief food, and I search for it. It really is not as good as it used to be, it seems ...Chen Ji is about to die."

Wei Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Master."

The little emperor said: "It's easy to show off such an idea of ​​food. He doesn't think it's shabby, and he doesn't have sincerity. Zixiu, you can ask the Chinese doctor to draft an imperial edict, send it to Chen Ji, and reprimand him once."

Wei Zixiu knew that the little emperor had seized the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, so he nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

"in addition……"

The little emperor looked at Wei Zixiu and said, "Zixiu, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Wei Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "It's up to the owner alone."

The little emperor waved his hand and said: "It's not a matter of letting go... You know about disasters. I have enough prestige in the court, but I don't have enough voice among the people. Now that there is a disaster in the local area, it is the time for me to lend a helping hand." Now... I want to go to the disaster area myself."

Wei Zixiu looked up at the little emperor, but didn't speak immediately.

The little emperor said: "You don't want to persuade me? A bunch of old officials in the court are trying to persuade me not to go in person, saying that the body of a thousand chariots, the body of a dragon, is precious, so I can't go to the disaster area."

Wei Zixiu said flatly: "The emperor also said that he is an old minister, and the humble general thinks that he is...not old."

When he said this, the little emperor was actually amused by him, and said, "Okay! I saw you right!"

The little emperor also said: "Although going here can strengthen the hearts of the people, it is very dangerous, not only the disasters are dangerous, but also the hearts of the officials in the prefectures and counties. Once you step into the prefectures and counties, you may die. Know?"

Wei Zixiu nodded and said, "The humble general knows."

The little emperor said lightly: "Since you know, I will ask you, do you want to go with me to relieve disasters and protect me."

Without moving his eyes, Wei Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "The humble general is willing."

The little emperor said, "Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Wei Zixiu said: "Every day when you get together with the Lord, you are actually in danger. Whether it is the imperial court or a disaster area, you will never regret what the humble general thinks."

The little emperor looked at Wei Zixiu, raised his lips and smiled, and seemed to be amused by Wei Zixiu's words again, and said, "Okay, then you will follow me to the disaster area and be responsible for protecting my safety... my net worth I will leave my life to you, Zixiu."

Wei Zixiu said loudly: "Yes, my lord, Zixiu respects you!"

While the two were talking, someone outside the hall reported, "Your Majesty, General Wei is asking to see you."

When the little emperor heard that it was Tong Cheng, his expression was not very good, and he said, "What is he here for?"

Although the little emperor didn't want to see Tong Cheng, Tong Cheng was Empress Dowager Tong's nephew and his elder, if he didn't see him, he might be arranged by someone with a heart, so he had to see him.

The little emperor said patiently, "Call me in."

Tong Cheng quickly walked in, bowed his head and said: "The old minister pays homage to the master!"

The little emperor said lightly: "Your Majesty Tong, you don't need to be too polite. What's the matter here today?"

Tong Cheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the old minister wants to go to the disaster area and personally experience the people's situation. The old minister..."

"If it is to dissuade me, then there is no need to say it."

The little emperor interrupted Tong Cheng's voice.

Tong Cheng quickly said: "The owner has misunderstood. The veteran is not dissuading the owner, but is very supportive of the owner."

The little emperor glanced at Tong Cheng suspiciously, and said, "Oh? The civil and military forces of the whole court are dissuading me, but General Wei actually supports me?"

Tong Cheng quickly expressed his loyalty and said: "The decision made by the owner is naturally supported by the veteran. Besides, the world is so big, how many people can there be who can go to the disaster area in person? The owner loves the people so much It's too late to be happy with the veteran, this is the blessing of the whole world!"

Tong Cheng added: "It's just...it's just that this person wants to go to the disaster area. The safety of the dragon body is a problem. If you don't let the veteran accompany you, you can also protect the owner's safety."

When the little emperor heard it, it turned out that Tong Cheng also wanted to go with him.

The little emperor didn't trust Tong Cheng, so how could he let Tong Cheng accompany him to protect him?

The little emperor said indifferently: "General Wei's kindness, I appreciate it, but just now I have made a decision to let the lieutenant follow me to protect my comfort, so I don't bother General Wei."

When Tong Cheng heard this, he immediately glared at Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu.

Wei Zixiu is just a lieutenant, and Tong Cheng is a general of Wei. It goes without saying who is the senior and who is the junior.

And speaking of it, Tong Cheng is Wei Zixiu's boss, and the little emperor did not bring General Wei with him when he went out, but instead took Wei Zixiu with him, which made Tong Cheng very angry.

Tong Cheng wanted to say something more, but the little emperor had already said: "Okay, don't talk about this matter anymore, I have made up my mind, and besides, when I go to the disaster area in person, there are still many things in the capital. , there is General Lao Wei in charge of the command, and it is also very busy."

Tong Cheng had nothing to say, so he could only lower his head resentfully, and was finally sent out by the little emperor.

Tong Cheng left the bedroom, feeling very unhappy. Wei Zixiu would not let him go for such a great opportunity to win over people's hearts.

Tong Cheng's face was very embarrassing, and he walked forward silently. At this moment, there were several ministers who had just come out of the meeting hall at the corner. They were walking together, whispering to each other, as if they were discussing some anecdotes.

"Have you heard? My lord, it seems that Wei Zixiu intends to replace Tong Cheng as General Wei!"

Tong Cheng heard it with one ear, and there was a "thump" in his heart.

Those few people didn't find Tong Cheng at all, they hadn't turned the corner yet, so there was a blind spot in their sight, they couldn't see Tong Cheng, and they were still discussing gossip in the forbidden court in a low voice.

"No, Tong Cheng is a relative of Tong's family. How powerful was Tong's family back then, and how could a brat replace General Wei?"

"Hi! You know it was back then!"

"Yeah, I've also heard that the owner seems to want Wei Zixiu to follow him to rescue the disaster. If it succeeds this time, Wei Zixiu will definitely become famous, and it won't be easy if he wants to replace General Wei. Is something wrong?"

"That's right, Wei Zixiu's adoptive father, but the current General Hussars, General Hussars doesn't even have a biological son. The adopted son is so precious, he has a backer, and what about Tong Cheng? Tsk, tsk, tsk... "

"Yeah, the Tong family was indeed prosperous for a while, but it was also when the Queen Mother Tong was there. After the Queen Mother Tong passed away, Tong Gao was in chaos. Now the whole court hates Tong to death. The little emperor was forced to flee for so many years. Can you not hate someone surnamed Tong?"

"I've also heard that the beautiful young lady of the Tong family, who is as beautiful as a flower, made soup for the emperor herself. She just wanted to marry into the palace. Guess what?"

"What else can I do? The entire city of Xuanyang has heard it over and over again, saying that the emperor doesn't like Ms. Tong at all, so he kicked her out!"

"Miss Tong was born so beautiful, why doesn't the emperor look down on her?"

"I heard...the emperor and Wei Zixiu are a little...that's why they don't like women?"

"Hey! You are wrong. How can the emperor not like women, but he simply doesn't like the daughter of the Tong family, hahaha..."

Those few people were discussing just right, when they heard the sound of "tattling" footsteps, when they raised their heads, they almost bumped into the person at the corner.

"Ho——!!!"

"Ho..."

"Ho-"

There was a series of gasps, because the person they almost bumped into was one of the protagonists of their discussion—General Wei, Tong Cheng.

Judging by Tong Cheng's expression, he must have heard everything.

Several ministers were so frightened that their faces paled, and they hurriedly "gudong!" They all knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

"Boom boom boom!"

"General, please forgive me—"

"Little people...Little people are just hearsay."

"Yes, yes, yes, open-mouthed, just hearsay."

"Please, General, please spare your life!!"

Tong Cheng looked at them with ferocious colors, as if they could burst out with blades.

But when he got to the point of speaking, he smiled very friendly and said, "Why don't you spare your life? Why can't I understand? What are you talking about?"

Several ministers looked at each other and looked at each other. Could it be that Tong Cheng didn't hear it?

But it shouldn't be, Tong Cheng should have heard everything from the distance around the corner.

Even if you didn't hear the whole thing, the last few sentences were still talking about Ms. Tong, Tong Cheng should be furious...

The ministers were worried, but when they saw that Tong Cheng had not been held accountable, they didn't dare to think about it, so they ran away quickly.

"Thank you, General Wei! Thank you, General Wei!"

Tong Cheng waited for them to scramble away, and then stared at the backs of everyone leaving with gloomy eyes, his lips were trembling constantly, and his teeth made a "dedede" knocking sound.

With a deep roar in his throat, he murmured to himself in a low voice: "Wei Zixiu...what a Wei Zixiu, the emperor trusts him now, and wants to replace me as General Wei! Good...that's great, I would like to see if you are still alive after you went to the disaster area! My lord, we could happily be in-laws, but now... I can't blame the old minister for this."

Lin Rang is ready to continue attacking Chen Ji, and everyone is in full swing.

It was reported in the capital that Chen Ji had donated food for disaster relief. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Chen Ji still has food to donate?"

"This means that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. They are already very poor anyway, and there is always a squeeze."

Wei Man said to Lin Rang: "Chen Ji started to please the owner, should we also donate some food?"

Lin Rang said lightly: "Recently, there has been continuous rain and floods are inevitable. Disaster relief is a good thing. There is no need to compare such things."

When Lin Rang said this, everyone felt that it made sense. It was the common people who suffered from the flood, and the common people were suffering unspeakably. They still use this kind of thing to make comparisons, which sounds a bit inhumane.

At this point, Lin Rang said again: "However... Chen Ji donated such a small amount of food, can it be regarded as disaster relief? Duke Wei must let him know what disaster relief is."

Wei Man smiled and said: "That's natural, money is spent on such occasions, not on cutting edge, it's a waste of money on weekdays."

Wei Man immediately asked Mr. Duan Su, who was the most economical, to choose food and money for disaster relief, while Lin Rang continued to prepare to attack Chen Ji.

After Wei Man and Mr. Duan Su discussed the food and money for disaster relief, they returned to the lord's tent, and saw that the lights were still on, and it was already late at night, but Lin Rang did not rest.

Wei Man walked in from the outside and said, "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Lin Rang frowned slightly, staring at the map on the table with a focused and serious abstinence, and said, "I'm looking at the map."

Lin Rang... is a road idiot.

He has a poor sense of direction. If he is left alone in the woods, he will probably get lost. No, he will definitely get lost.

So Wei Man hardly let Lin let go out alone.

In fact, Lin Rang is not to blame. Modern people, especially young people, do not distinguish between east, west, north, south, north, up, up, down, left, right. Every time Lin Rang distinguishes between east, west, north, south, east, north, he will turn on the compass that comes with his phone.

But in ancient times, there was no mobile phone compass, and everyone said that the direction was always "north" and "south", and Lin Rang always felt that it was not accurate every time he used the sun to distinguish the direction.

In this way, Lin Rang was naturally a road idiot in ancient times.

Lu Chi was looking at the map, and he was concentrating on it, which surprised Wei Man.

Wei Man said, "The map for attacking Yanzhou?"

Lin Rang nodded, and said, "Is there a canyon here? Why is the landform so strange, with such a big depression?"

Wei Man thought about it, there is no Grand Canyon near Yanzhou, logically speaking, there is no such thing.

He walked over, sat next to Lin Rang, looked down, couldn't help laughing out loud "haha", tears almost flowed out of laughter, and quickly reached out to wipe it twice.

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man strangely, Wei Man restrained himself for a while, and then reluctantly said: "You have held the map upside down, this is a mountain."

As he spoke, he kindly turned the map upside down, turned it to the front, and placed it in front of Lin Rang.

Lin Rang: "..."

There are no words written on the map, and no regions are marked, so Lin Rang doesn't know that the map is upside down.

Now it was "joked" by Wei Man.

Wei Man couldn't stop laughing, looking at Lin Rang's dazed and cute face, he found it very cute, and laughed "recklessly and wildly"...

result……

"Lin Rang! Lin Rang, I'm wrong!"

"It's too late, go back to your tent and sleep."

"Where are you going! Wait a minute!"

Because of Wei Man's ridicule, Lin Rang's self-esteem was severely hit. Lin Rang threw the map on Wei Man's face, then hugged the quilt roll by himself, and left the tent in a fit of anger.

Although Lin Rang looked very cute when he was angry, but Lin asked him to carry the quilt and leave, which made Wei Man very flustered.

Wei Man quickly chased him out, saying: "Gu made a mistake, Gu will never dare again next time."

Lin Rang ignored him at all, and went directly outside Lin Feng's tent with the quilt rolled up, and said, "Feng'er, are you there?"

Immediately, Lin Feng's voice came from the tent, saying, "Is the foster father here?"

Immediately, Jiang Duting's voice came out, saying, "No, you heard it wrong."

Lin Feng said: "How can you hear wrong?"

Jiang Duting said: "I really misheard, and besides... At this time, should you call the man next to you?"

Lin Rang originally wanted to go to Lin Feng's to make do with one night, but Jiang Duting was there, and the two of them were "too busy".

Wei Man breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Good boy, Lin Feng is too busy, let's go back and have a rest."

Lin Rang ignored him, rolled up the quilt and left again. This time he simply used his trump card and went directly to Yang Yue's camp.

Seeing him heading towards Yang Yue's camp, Wei Man yelled, "Where are you going? This is too much, Gu will be angry, hey...hey, wait for Gu!"

Lin Rang wanted to spend the night in Yang Yue's camp, but Yang Yue had already fallen asleep, he was woken up by them, rubbing his eyes in confusion.

Yang Yue suspected that his ears had been misheard, and said, "What?"

Lin Rang said indifferently: "Mr. Yang heard correctly. I want to stay with Mr. Yang for one night."

"Lodging?"

Yang Yue took a look at Wei Man's face, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, or the kind that was covered in a pot...

Yang Yue squinted his eyes, his eyes were sharp at the time, and he said with a courteous face: "Okay, okay, welcome!"

Lin Rang said lightly, "Thank you."

Yang Yue waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is what we should do. As brothers, we should help each other like this, don't you think so? However, I only have one couch in my camp, and the governor wouldn't mind being with me... , collapse, and, sleep!"

He said, looking at Wei Man the whole time.

Wei Man's back teeth were itchy, and he was grinding his teeth in anger, Yang Yue made it clear that he wanted to take advantage of Lin Rang, didn't he?

Lin Rang said: "Why would you mind? Fortunately, Mr. Yang took him in."

Yang Yue put his arms around Lin Rang, looked like he was a good brother, waved to Wei Man, and said in a protest: "Wei Gong, we are going to bed, you should rest earlier."

Yang Yue froze, "Wow!" He lowered the curtain with a sound, and Wei Man was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Yue was full of energy, he was happy when he did something bad, and walked out of the tent with a smile on his face.

I thought I could see Wei Man's black face at first glance.

how do you know...

"Ho-!"

Yang Yue was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.

He stammered and said, "Yu...Yuyuyu...Old Yu...Why are you here?"

Yu Ziyuan stood at the door of the camp with arms folded, looked at Yang Yue with a smile on his face, and said, "Did you rest well last night?"

Yang Yue's back felt cold, and he said, "I... am fine, Lao Yu, why did you come so early today?"

Yu Ziyuan said: "Shall we talk in the account?"

Yang Yue quickly spread his arms to stop Yu Ziyuan, and said, "No, no, it's inconvenient... Let's talk here, just watch the sky."

"It seems cloudy today?"

Before Yang Yue could finish his sentence, someone came to kick the field. This person also walked out of Yang Yue's tent, with an indifferent and expressionless face, and ruthlessly exposed Yang Yue.

It was Lin Rang!

Yu Ziyuan squinted his eyes at Yang Yue and said, "What did Mr. Yang do last night, don't you want to explain it?"

Yang Yue quickly said: "Old Yu, listen to my explanation! You must have listened to the villain's slander, did Wei Gong tell you something? Don't believe it!"

Yang Yue chased Yu Ziyuan away, leaving only Lin Rang standing at the entrance of the tent holding the quilt roll.

As a result, suddenly, even the person with the quilt rolled up was picked up.

Lin Rang looked back and saw that it was Wei Man.

Wei Man smiled and said, "Lin Rang, let's go back."

Wei Man continued to attack Chen Ji, but this time he did not attack Chen Ji immediately, but took the method of capturing other counties of Chen Ji first.

Wei Man led troops to capture many counties and counties in Yanzhou. When they heard that Wei Man was coming, many counties and counties did not dare to fight and opened their doors to join the enemy.

Yanzhou has a total of eight counties and five states. Wherever Wei Man went, he directly opened the door and surrendered, there were two states and three counties.

Calculated in this way, less than half of them have already been gathered under Wei Man's hands.

Being so invincible, in addition to Chen Ji should be afraid, there are other people who are also very afraid. These people are naturally allies who left the Allied Army earlier.

These allied forces left Wei Man in a hurry at that time, unwilling to attack Chen Ji with all their strength, but now seeing Wei Man's invincibility, their hearts trembled.

If you don't please Wei Man at this time, it will be too late when Chen Jizhen is wiped out!

Wei Man's army is stationed in the government office of a county in Yanzhou, and has pushed the front line step by step into the territory of Yanzhou.

The prefect of the county greeted him respectfully, not daring to neglect him at all.

And the prefect of this county has a relative, who happened to be an ally of the Allied Army before. At that time, the Allied Army disbanded, and now regretting it, he planned to use his relative, the prefect, to reconcile the old relationship with Wei Man.

What a coincidence, Wei Man took the army out to patrol and practice today, so he was not in the government office at all, but Lin Rang was there.

It was strange for Lin Rang to hear the chaotic sounds outside, as well as the rattling of carriages and horses.

After all, they live in the subordinates of Yanzhou County, so it is better to be cautious in everything, especially today when Wei Man is not around, so they should be more cautious.

Lin Rang got up, pushed open the door, and said, "What's the noise outside?"

In the courtyard, Sima Yue was helping Lin Rang to dry the herbs, when he heard the voice, he said, "The governor, wait a moment, I'll ask."

Sima Yue ran out quickly, and happened to meet Sima Bogui, who was in charge of the security of the government office, and said, "Brother, what's the sound outside? The governor is asking."

Sima Bogui frowned and said, "It's the prefect's relatives."

"relative?"

Sima Yue was a little curious and said, "It's such a big fight among relatives."

Sima Bogui simply went back with his younger brother to answer the question.

Sima Bogui said: "This relative of the prefect is a coalition army that has repented before. It is estimated that he saw that the lord is now invincible, so he came here to please him. He transported a lot of gold and silver treasures, and..."

When Sima Bogui said this, he didn't go on, Sima Yue said curiously: "What else? Brother, how can you half-talk, so that people are anxious."

Sima Bogui was very helpless, his brother was still young after all, if this kind of thing got out, the governor might be blown up.

In fact, Lin Rang had already realized what Sima Bogui was going to say, but Sima Yue didn't understand, so Sima Bogui had to whisper something to Sima Yue in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yue widened his eyes and said, "Beauty?!"

Sima Bogui: "..."

After Sima Yue finished speaking, he belatedly covered his mouth.

It seems that this former allied army wanted to curry favor with Wei Man.

But he may not know that the governor of Luzhou has a small mind...

Lin Rang said lightly: "These people, don't regret letting them go in the past. They left very happily at that time, but now they come to find trouble."

Sima Bogui said: "My lord is not here now, the governor thought..."

Lin Rang stood up and said, "Such a large number of people have sneaked into the government office. Maybe there will be people with ulterior motives. Let me go and have a look."

Sima Yue: "Yes!"

Sima Bogui: "Yes."

Lin Rang took the Sima brothers, and specially asked Sima Bogui to call a team of Baima Yicongzhuang, and they came to the gate of the government office.

At the gate of the government office, soldiers were unloading goods from carts and horses, and naturally they also unloaded a cart full of "beauties".

Lin Rang walked out from the gate quietly, and when those people saw it, their hearts were beating drums.

The county magistrate hurried forward and greeted him with a smile: "Master Inspector, Lord Inspector, why did you come out?"

Lin Rang glanced at the chariots, horses and beauties, and said indifferently: "Master Taishou, our army is stationed in the government office. Where do these irrelevant people come from?"

The prefect hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Lord Inspector, you don't know, these are not unrelated people, these are gifts from the allied forces."

"Allies."

Lin Rang smiled lightly and said, "Well said, what an ally."

Seeing Lin Rang laughing, Sima Bogui and Sima Yue felt that the prefect was finished.

The prefect didn't know it, and when he saw Lin Rang laughing, a slight warmth suddenly appeared on his indifferent face, like the warm wind in late spring and March, refreshing and gentle.

The prefect looked on in a daze for a while.

Lin Rang restrained his smile, and said: "At the time when Chen Ji was attacked, what did the allied troops say? There was something wrong at home, disasters hit counties and counties, and epidemics were rampant. In short, what kind of illness escapes, piss escapes excrement, whatever excuses can be said Now that it’s all said and done, these generals almost said that they want to come to Kuishui.”

"puff--"

Sima Yue took so much face that Lin Rang amused him, and said to Sima Bogui, "Brother, the generals are all men, why come to Kuishui?"

As he was speaking, he saw the eunuch staring at him, Sima Yue immediately grabbed Sima Bogui's shirt, moved behind him, and glared at the eunuch, thinking who wouldn't stare?

The prefect was scolded by Lin Rang almost completely.

Lin Rang said: "At that time, everyone agreed. After leaving, each side of the road will go up to the sky. The whole process of crusade against Chen Ji was done by Wei Jun himself. Now if there is any improvement, the allied army has come out of the rivers and lakes again, and we are shy. This cup of soup is thick-skinned and shabby, do you think it is suitable for the eunuch?"

The prefect was sweating crazily, he never imagined that Lin Rang was born with such a handsome face, but he was utterly unforgiving when he spoke.

The prefect faltered and said, "This..."

Lin Rang didn't wait for him to reply, and said very coldly: "Prefect, you may not know your status. This county has been defeated by the Wei army. You are a surrender, and a surrender should look like a surrender. Don't lose it." Last decency."

He said, looked at the chariots and horses, and said, "Get out."

Sima Bogui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Governor!"

Bai Ma Yicong immediately dispatched to coax all those chariots and horses out of the city.

When Wei Man came back from the outside, he heard a commotion, a crowd of people crowded at the gate of the city.

Wei Man rode on Jueying Horse, looked up at the city gate, unexpectedly saw Lin Rang on the top of the city gate.

Lin Rang was dressed in white, floating like a fairy, and under the autumn sun, it seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred brilliance.

Lin Rang put his hands on the city gate, looked down at the chariots and horses that had been blasted out from under the city gate, and said, "It's too late for the Allies to regret it now."

Wei Man inquired about it, and only then did he know that these horses and chariots were allied troops who were shyly trying to share a share of the pie.

Moreover, many beauties were sent among them, no wonder Lin Rang was so angry.

Wei Man was very happy, with a smile on his face, and when he thought of Lin Rang eating for himself, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Yanzhou Government Office, Chen Ying.

"Report--!"

The soldiers ran in scrambling, shouting: "My lord, something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

"Another city has surrendered!"

"Lord!"

When the soldiers rushed in to report, they heard a "cough cough cough".

The voice was very deep, as if it was coughing from the lungs, it sounded mixed with phlegm, and there was a feeling of dying.

Chen Ji was sitting in the lobby of the government office, holding his chest and coughing. Since the defeat of the army, Chen Ji had been sick, and his condition was getting worse day by day. In addition, he thought deeply, but he couldn't think clearly. So then, those thoughts were all blocked in his heart, his heart orifice was filled, how could he not get sick?

Chen Ji coughed in pain, and when he heard the soldier's military report, he almost fell to the ground and said, "What!? Another city was destroyed?!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Now there are two countries, three counties surrendered to the Wei army, and Wei Man conquered another city. Nearly half of Yanzhou's territory has been taken over by Wei Man. What should we do?"

The soldier is anxious, but the master is even more anxious.

Before Chen Ji could speak, he coughed, beat his chest, and said, "Hasn't Wei Man received the news of Gu's surrender?! Why are you still attacking Yanzhou?!"

The soldier faltered and said, "This... this..."

"Say!"

Chen Ji snorted coldly and said, "Why are you hesitating? Say something quickly!"

The soldier said: "My lord, the people in the Wei army have said that the army is in turmoil and the horses and vehicles are impassable. Therefore...they have not received the news of your surrender from the lord."

"what?!"

Chen Ji stared and said, "Wei Man, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

The soldier said: "My lord, what if we take the initiative to send the news of surrender to Wei Jun?"

"Do not……"

Chen Ji pondered for a while, and said, "No, Wei Man has made up his mind to not let us go in Yanzhou. Even if Gu handed over the surrender document to him, Wei Man can't let us go."

In fact, there was another reason why Chen Ji didn't say it, and the reason was very simple, because Chen Ji couldn't bear this face.

He surrendered, surrendering to the court.

Now he has to bow his knees in front of Wei Man, how could Chen Ji be reconciled.

In his bones, he always thought that he was a nobleman, and Wei Man was just a nouveau riche who was born by his eunuch grandfather. How could Chen Ji humiliate himself?

Chen Ji was furious, but he couldn't take it anymore, he was so ill that he was lingering on the sick bed, he almost passed away, how can he still look like the nobleman back then?

At this moment, someone said: "My lord, my lord! Someone from the imperial court is here!"

When Chen Ji heard this, he struggled to get up from his mat and said, "But the imperial court came again to urge Gu to surrender his military power and enter Beijing?"

The counselor rushed in from the outside and said, "No, no, although the imperial court sent people here, they were not sent by the owner."

Chen Ji asked strangely, "Who is that?"

"Yes..." the counselor said, "General Wei Tong Cheng's personal soldier."

The last time Chen Ji wooed Tong Cheng, General of the Guards, and asked him to help speak good words, but Tong Cheng failed. The little emperor did make an order, but the reprimand document made Chen Ji angry.

Chen Ji didn't trust Tong Cheng very much now, and at this time Tong Cheng sent someone over, Chen Ji was very unhappy.

But Chen Ji didn't have the capital to support him now, so he still met Tong Cheng's soldiers in person.

The soldiers came in, saluted respectfully, cut to the point as soon as they opened their mouths, and said, "Mr. Chen, my lord and you are in the same camp."

Chen Ji said "Oh?", suppressed his cough, and said, "How can you be a member of the same camp?"

The soldier said: "Wei Man is aggressive and wants to become a great court. Now he has occupied half of Yanzhou and is still shrinking and encircling it. No one knows this better than Mr. Chen."

Chen Ji's face turned ugly, and he said, "Did General Wei send someone to help the orphan?"

The soldier said: "How is it possible? General Wei is here to give Mr. Chen an opportunity. As long as Mr. Chen cooperates, let alone Wei Man, even the current imperial court... will change its color."

Change color another day!

I really dare to say this.

Chen Ji didn't speak, and the soldiers said: "Mr. Chen must have heard that the owner has left the capital of Xuanyang and went to the disaster area to rescue the disaster. Wei Man's adopted son Wei Zixiu was with him. Impermanence, who knows what will happen, once..."

When he said this, he paused, and Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

The soldier continued: "Once there is something good or bad, the owner is gone there, and the court changes the weather, can Wei Man still be so arrogant?"

Chen Jiyin said tentatively, "You guys want to..."

The soldiers said: "General Wei is in the capital and it is not easy to do anything, so he wants to join hands with Chen Gong. Once the matter is completed, Chen Gong will be a hero. General Wei will never forget Chen Gong's benefits."

He said, smiled again, and said softly and forcefully: "Mr. Chen has already been cornered by Wei Man. Anyway, there is nothing worse. Why don't you give it a go, maybe you can win the last chance of life."

Chen Ji didn't answer right away, and the soldiers didn't urge him, he said: "It's up to Mr. Chen to decide whether to become a prince or become a bandit..."

Lin Rang rejected the coalition forces. Although the coalition forces held grudges, no one dared to "single out" with Wei Jun because of Wei Jun's momentum.These coalition forces have their own ideas, so it is impossible to truly unite together.

When things got into trouble, the coalition forces could only watch helplessly as Wei Man beat Chen Ji's troops to the ground.

Eight counties, five countries, more and more surrendered, Wei Man's flag has been planted all over Yanzhou, gradually narrowing the encirclement, and besieging the Yanzhou government office with an iron barrel.

Sitting in the tent of the shogunate, Wei Man looked at the latest map and said with a sneer, "Chen Ji, you really can hold your breath."

Lin Rang frowned slightly, and said: "Chen Ji now seems to be lying on dry wood. Duke Wei is holding a torch, and the soldiers have surrounded him like an iron bucket, but Chen Ji suddenly calmed down. It's kind of abnormal."

When he said this, Yuan Hao also said: "That's true. According to my understanding of Chen Ji, Chen Jineng is so calm, I'm afraid he has already thought of a perfect countermeasure."

Wei Man said: "This Chen Ji, what countermeasures can he come up with now?"

He said, and said to Pangtu: "Mr. Pang has a lot of contacts in Yanzhou, try to send some spies to find out."
