Bastards

In the overall plan, the first task of Cui Yu and others is to delay the time and do everything possible to delay the pace of the rebels' attack on the city.

First, it takes time for Yang Xuan and Prince Ying to defend against the Turks, and it takes a long time to turn back to help. The more they can delay, the greater the chance of waiting for Yang Xuan, and the fewer casualties.

The second is that mysterious figure, Mo Ting.

Wan Lin's family background is very good, before meeting Mo Ting, his character is completely fine, and his ability is also strong. It is normal for him to be able to control the Xishan Camp under his command, but his strength only stops here. Xuan touched it thoroughly.

Huizhi's team, including the dragon guards and dark guards, fumbled before, and Huizhi confessed, what these forces are good at, how strong and weak they are, and where they are, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan are also in control.

Ke Huizhi said that Wan Lin was not the only guest of Mo Ting's house.

This person's connections in the army, as well as other people, are very confidential and no one knows.

It doesn't matter who Mo Ting's girlfriend is, and what methods he uses to make others fall in love with him, but as long as he hangs out with him, there must be only one purpose: to rebel.

When the amount of information is insufficient and you have not figured out who the opponents are, if you act rashly, the biggest result may not be to gain, but to scare the snake.

So Cui Mata and his team were very patient, they were waiting.

The news of the Turkic offenders came, and if Wan Lin rebelled, the surrounding areas of Luoyang must react!

At that time, who is loyal and who is traitor will be clear at a glance!

And this first defensive battle must be played well.

Wan Lin brought all the troops of the Xishan Camp to press close, the people of Luoyang City were fluctuating, and the troops were not enough, even if all the troops were mobilized, it would be a reckless situation at best.In this first battle, it is best to be able to defeat others without fighting, and to mention the momentum of your own camp.

The words "subdue the enemy without fighting" are easy to say but difficult to do.

Cui Yu, Yang Zhao, and the Dragon Guard led by Cui Shu worked together, brainstormed, and prepared a variety of tricks. They never expected that Prince Yue would cooperate so well!

When two armies confront each other, regardless of the number of people, what the purpose is, morale is extremely important.Those who have good morale, the army is as brave as a tiger, can cut mountains and seas of fire, can travel through mountains and rivers, can win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak. No difficulty is not difficult!For those with low morale, even if good generals and soldiers are fully equipped, their spirits will be scattered, and there will be many fleeing, the battles that are guaranteed to be won will be lost, and the territory that is secure will be lost!

Wan Lin is also considered to be a person who knows how to make choices, but now that he has withdrawn, the overall situation has been preserved.

At least go back now, the rebels will not disperse.

If the order to attack the city is ordered, the result may not be certain...

Yang Zhao worried: "This retreat will not take too long. The next time Wan Lin makes a comeback, it will be impossible to retreat from the enemy so easily."

Cui Shu was very confident in himself, he arrogantly blew the broken hair that fell on his forehead, and smiled evilly: "My beautiful nephew is right, isn't all of this already in our plan? If we can cure him this time, we can cure him the second time!"

"This group of idiots with brains only as big as walnut kernels, we know exactly what they are thinking and planning! Tell them to come anyway, and we will work hard to teach them how to behave for their parents and let them know , any crooked ways are useless, if they dare to seek the crown prince, we will let the crown prince step on their heads, and their hard work will become more stable step by step, greater and greater each time, and more popular each time!"

"All these tricks they made are the steps for the crown prince!"

After finishing speaking aggressively, Cui Shu felt that what he said was great, and he felt sorry for not encouraging him, so he applauded himself: "That's great!"

Yang Zhao: ...

Cui Mata: ...

Yang Zhao ignored the self-proclaimed Cui Shu, and approached Cui Yu: "What shall we do next?"

Cui Yu thought for a while: "There seems to be a lot of things..."

The surroundings need to be moved, and people need to be sent to find out who is Mo Ting's helper; if this Mo Ting is to be found out, it is best to catch; Zhuang Shu has to find a way to deal with it; The negotiation of Emperor Taikang...

Everywhere is a matter.

"I can be in charge of city defense, I can organize people to stabilize the situation in the city, I can report to the court and the emperor at any time, and exchange news." Yang Zhao arranged tasks for himself.

Cui Shu was also overjoyed, and poked his head over and said, "Leave me to investigate the outside world! I'll be able to catch the rest of the rebels in a short time!"

Cui Yu nodded: "I'll find a way to catch Mo Ting."

After thinking about it, he added: "Mo Ting is in Wanlin's army, and Zhuang Shu is also there. I can consider her situation and see how to deal with it best."

Cui Shu frowned slightly, as if he didn't want his nephew to take too much risk, but he also knew his nephew's ability, so he didn't refuse, he just said: "I'll send some people to help you. Let Fu Rongsen and Yin Zimo come over too, I'll get some news You don’t need a scavenger, even if you use it, you can’t use these two bosses.”

Cui Yu accepted: "Okay."

"I have made a lot of friends in the army, and there are two in Wan Lin's Xishan Camp, and I will definitely not rebel. This time I must be involuntary. I will tell you their names..." Yang Zhao leaned into Cui Yu's ear , said a few words, "If you need it, you can use the code to find him."

Cui Yu also answered: "Thank you."

The Xishan army retreated, the mission was over, and it was meaningless to stand on the city wall. The three left quickly and went to do what they should do.

Cui Yu took the little tiger home and took a look around. Seeing that everything was normal, the grandmother was living steadily, and Cui Ying also had a smile on her face, but it was not serious, so she said a word, and transferred to the special information office at the boundary of Hebang. .

There is really too little information about Mo Ting.When he heard the name, the little uncle sent someone to investigate, and the things he collected were very limited.

The Mo family is not a rich and noble family, but they are not ordinary civilians either. The situation can be regarded as a little rich and peaceful, relatively moderate, there is no major event worthy of others' attention, and there are very few news leaked out.

Cui Yu only knew that Mo Ting was a bastard, and his biological mother was a disgraceful one, and she was an actress.

But for those who do not favor their concubines and kill their wives, the status of the bastards is not much higher, not to mention Mo Ting has several brothers who were born in the same family.If it wasn't for Mo Ting's good looks, he might not have been noticed.

Mo Ting was gifted and intelligent, and he learned to read very early when he was a child. He won some honor for his biological mother and determined to let his biological mother live a good life.Conflicts among concubines, wives and concubines are the same as other families in similar situations, but the family of Mo family is small, and the head of the family, Xu, can tell whether there are small fights or not, and it is not particularly out of the ordinary, such as killing people. , not once, it is considered a good situation in the back house.

More than ten years ago, Mo Ting was still a young man, full of vigor, elegance, and a really good mix. He was preparing for the scientific examination and seemed to have a bright future, but before the scientific examination, he disappeared, and he disappeared for three years.

During the past three years, Mo Ting's biological mother died of a serious illness.

Three years later, when Mo Ting reappeared, he changed his appearance.

Becoming surly, rebellious, and charming.

He didn't go back to the Mo's house, and the Mo's probably didn't accept him who had changed so much, so he simply left the house and went out to hang out.

What has happened to him in the past few years, and why there has been such a big change, no one knows...

After that, how did Mo Ting meet Wan Lin, how did they hook up, the specific details could not be found out.It was as if they met suddenly, and both sides thought about Wan Lin secretly raising a love child, and Mo Ting was also willing to be that canary. In short, Mo Ting rarely went out and almost never showed his face outside. Whenever he showed up, there must be Wan Lin. Lin followed.

Wan Lin is a general, very vigilant, every time he goes out he has a plan, and there are always people around him, so it is difficult to find out what they did.

If Huizhi hadn't been caught this time, they would have rebelled. Yang Xuan tried his best to investigate deeply, but he couldn't even find out this connection.

Mo Ting is surrounded by masters from the Wanlin faction, his whereabouts are confusing and irregular, how can he catch them?

The information collected by the River Gang is more cumbersome and less systematic than that of Longwei. You have to find all kinds of connections yourself. If you can find it, it is naturally good. If you can’t find it, it’s not a clue...

Cui Yan sat at the table, flipping through the recently delivered files one by one, frowning tightly, pulling out many strands of hair.

"Ow?"

The little tiger was lying at Cui Yu's feet, his eyes were very serious, and he watched the white papers with black characters spread out. Slowly, the table was not enough, and it floated to the ground.

There is a charcoal basin in the room, which is warm and not cold at all, but to prevent the charcoal gas, the windows are opened a little bit, the paper is very light, and a little wind can make them tremble, as if they are not floating.

The little tiger looked at it, and his eyes became sharp.

Slowly, the front paws moved together, and the hind legs kicked the ground...

"Roar!"

It pounced successfully, and held down the paper that dared to rebel, provoking and teasing him!

Pressing his paws, biting his mouth, his round head shook, and a threatening growl came out of his throat. In just a moment, the paper was smashed into pieces by it.

"Meow-"

After doing bad things, the little tiger glanced at his master guilty, but found that the master didn't notice at all!

The little tiger's eyes immediately became excited, and he threw himself into the pile of papers, having a good time.

When Cui Yu came back to his senses, when he reached for the paper on the ground, he found that there was no paper left, and there were fragments everywhere!

"Ah, ugly!"

The little tiger was having fun, but didn't notice that its master was angry, and ran over to beg for cuddling: "Aww——"

Cui Yu dodged its head, met those clear round eyes, and held back for a long time, but he was not willing to punish him too much: "No snacks tonight! There will be no bones for lunch tomorrow! There will be no fried fish fillets either. Already!"

The little tiger looked at its master pitifully, with its paws retracted, its head lowered and its eyes raised, as if it was about to cry.

"Meow--"

Because a pile of papers had just been destroyed, the little tiger was covered in scraps of paper, and a few scraps of paper covered with words were rubbed on top of its head. When it lowered its head, Cui Yu happened to see it.

Cui Yan sighed, and stretched out his hand to help it: "Look at you, you're a big tiger, and you're still so stupid—"

He stopped short before he could say the word trouble.

The fragment above the little tiger's head is not a piece of paper, it comes from different papers with different fonts and shapes, and the cause and effect cannot be connected.

For example, what Cui Yu saw now were three words, put together in a mess.

Incompatible.

avoid.

control.

disagree...avoid...control...

These three words seem to have nothing to do with each other, and the context of the original paper may not necessarily refer to Mo Ting, but these three words have given Cui Yu a lot of inspiration.

The situation is urgent, he doesn't have time to know too much about Mo Ting's past, and he doesn't need to know too much about Mo Ting's cause and effect, as long as he analyzes Mo Ting's current behavior pattern and personality traits, that's enough!

Obviously, Mo Ting is extremely charming.

It's not just the superficial temptation of a man's sex in an ordinary boy's house. His charm is contained in his bones and flows into his character and actions. He can seduce others to give up the beliefs they have insisted on for many years and rebel against him. This kind of attraction cannot stop at looks and sex.

There must be love.

The word love has a strong exclusivity. If it is for sex, men will be willing to enjoy the beauty together, but when they are emotional, the desire for exclusiveness will come out.

Mo Ting not only seduced Wan Lin alone, he also seduced other men to rebel together.

No matter how good he is at coaxing others, no matter how much Wan Lin loves and spoils him, he might not know what he did behind his back.If you don't want to give up on him, you can pretend you don't know. Anyway, if you bump into him face to face, it's hard to say.

If Wan Lin is like this, the others who are hooked by him must also be like this.

Therefore, this rebel alliance is actually at odds, and it has contradictions, which are painful when touched.

If it doesn't fit, you can use it!

Mo Ting is able to have both sides, coaxing people around, his emotional intelligence must be extremely high, he must know this himself, so he will always pay attention, travel low-key, and he should only accompany one person at a time, so as not to let several people fight against each other...

He will do everything in his power to prevent this from happening!

Rebellion is his obsession, something that must be done, and the people hooked by him are his tools, if the tools collide, it will hurt the plan...

He was fished out and stopped at all costs!

Cui Yu's eyes flickered with wisdom, and in almost a moment, he had an idea.

As for the word 'control'...

better understand.

To do such a big thing, all the situations must be clear and well known, so that you can do things with ease.

If everything is controlled so strictly...

Zhuang Shu is in danger!

Cui Yu didn't know how Zhuang Shu eavesdropped on the information, and how she painstakingly brought the letter out. Did she find out, but today's arrow, Yang Zhao's brutal killing of Xu Rong, and the use of the weakness of Xu Rong's left shoulder...

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to see it, but what about Zuo Lin?

If he sees it, go back and talk to Mo Ting, the suspicion of a traitor will definitely come to the fore.

Suspecting that there is a traitor in the army, the next step is naturally to arrest him.

If there is evidence, they will be arrested directly, if there is no evidence...

If it was him, Cui Mata, he would definitely be baited.

Zhuang Shu is very dangerous now!

The brain was spinning rapidly, and soon, Cui Yu had a calculation in his mind.

"Ah ugly baby, thank you!"

He hugged the little tiger's round head excitedly, and kissed its furry head.

Well, I rubbed it with my hands.

This is Fu Xing!

The little tiger tilted his head and looked at his master, a little confused.

Didn't you just... get angry?Why did you kiss it again?

But no matter, as long as the master is happy!Sure enough, being cute is the most useful!

The little tiger glanced at the shredded paper on the ground reluctantly, shook his head, and followed Cui Yu's quick steps out of the room.

Cui Yu quickly summoned his men to sneak into the Xishan camp to protect Zhuang Shu!

……

Wan Lin led the troops to attack the city, but Mo Ting did not follow, but the defeated soldiers retreated, and he saw it at the first sight.

The corners of his eyes drooped, very angry.

He doesn't understand the military affairs and how to restore morale, and he doesn't know how to take care of them. Wan Lin is here.He just sneered, Gu Zi called for wine, drank while waiting for Wan Lin.

Not long after, Wan Lin finished the first stage of work and came back to him.

"Originally, everything went smoothly according to the plan... Yang Zhao's scolding and fighting are not enough, but the uncle and nephew of the Cui family are really hateful!"

Wan Lin dropped the teacup, and told Mo Ting what he had experienced in this battle.

How Yang Zhao and Cui Shu scolded people so badly, how Cui Yu attacked his heart, how Yang Zhao shot Xu Rong to death with heavy arrows, how the white-haired tiger was so hateful, how his morale was a little bit low, and in the end it almost collapsed...

It's all said and done.

Mo Ting narrowed his eyes: "Then Cui Yu, is he really that powerful?"

"Look at that posture, he must have come prepared! The tiger he raises is called an auspicious beast. It is extremely spiritual and affects morale..."

While talking, Wan Lin hugged Mo Ting on his lap and patted him: "But don't worry, it's just a scolding battle, we still have time. I assure you, this time it will be easy to train the soldiers. I won't get the same trick again, even if Cui Mata speaks eloquently, he won't be able to sway us!"

Mo Ting leaned over and kissed him: "My Ah Lin is as strong as a mountain, how can he not kill a few ants? I admire you the most!"

Wan Lin stroked his back with soft eyes: "I will help you accomplish everything you want."

"Ah."

Mo Ting gently rested his head on Wan Lin's shoulder.

After being quiet for a long time, Mo Ting suddenly asked: "You said you think the other party came prepared?"

Wan Lin nodded: "It seems that we know that we are going to fight against..."

He thought for a while, and then said: "And Yang Zhao shot Xu Rong with an arrow. I always feel that it is a little bit out of harmony. It seems that I know that Xu Rong's left shoulder was injured, and I deliberately shot it."

Xu Rong is his confidant general. Although the left shoulder injury is not a secret, but due to the accident's timing, not many people know about it. In any case, Yang Zhao should not know about it.

Mo Ting narrowed his eyes, and his voice was soft and thin: "Could it be that we...have a mole here?"

Wan Lin was stunned for a moment.

His team, he knows best, has been preparing for so long, and has never gone wrong, so if there is one, it must be——

"A man of wisdom."

"Not necessarily." After working with Huizhi for so long, Mo Ting is very familiar with what these people are thinking. This time, most of them are not them. "Don't forget, we still have a prince here. .”

"You mean Prince Yue?"

Wan Lin shook his head, somewhat disagreed, he didn't think that Prince Yue came here to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and when a traitor came, this person really wanted to rebel.

Mo Ting smiled: "The prince naturally wants to rebel, but what about the people around him?"

When Prince Yue came, he was accompanied by two dead waiters and a side concubine.

These three people seem to be very loyal to Prince Yue, but they are not familiar with them. Who knows what kind of heart they have inside?

Wan Lin frowned: "I still need to use it after all. It's not good to tear your face without evidence."

Mo Ting's eyes were slightly raised, and his smile was very meaningful: "There is no evidence, let's create evidence..."

Soon, in the Xishan camp, a failure summary meeting was held. Among the participants were the leaders of both sides, Wan Linhuizhi, Prince Yue and everyone around him.

This time the teacher was unfavorable, everyone said something, Prince Yue set an example, and reviewed his contempt for Yang Zhao, Cui Yu's uncle and nephew.

"I thought it was just a charlatan, but I didn't expect such a good lip service!"

Tongue is like a sharp sword, poking at people's mouth everywhere, the reason is all on his side!

And that Yang Zhao, I thought it was just bragging, all the military merits were done for him by his grandfather and elder brother. Say what you say, who knows that there is real kung fu!

Prince Yue was very annoyed.

He took the lead in self-criticism, and the others followed suit. Slowly, they became swearing together.

They scolded Yang Zhao, Cui Shu, Cui Yu, the crown prince, and Emperor Taikang.

After scolding, he was refreshed and started to talk about business.

"So next time, I definitely can't lose again."

Wan Lin threw out the bait: "I have some plans..."

When Wan Lin was speaking, Mo Ting secretly observed Zhuang Shu, the side concubine behind Prince Yue, and the two dead servants.

Neither look changed, very normal.

But it doesn't matter, after a while, it's time to show up!

It won't be long, it will end soon.

If you want to continue talking, make an appointment in twos or threes, and if you have nothing to do, go back separately.

Zhuang Shu's heart was pounding.

She heard another big piece of information, which is directly related to the outcome of the next battle!

If the person who conveyed this news to the prince is prepared, she may be able to wipe out the rebels and end the war next time, and she will be free early!

So what are you waiting for?Definitely pass it on.

She knew it was not safe to do this, and once she was found out, there was only one word, death.But that's what she came here for.Even if it is death, she is willing to do her part for herself and Da'an!

And the last time I sent the letter out, wasn't it all right?

It's the same this time, as long as you choose the right time, be bold and careful, and quietly... you will succeed!

Zhuang Shu cleaned her hands very slowly, changed her clothes, and calmed herself down.

Not long after, she put on her windbreaker and walked out of the room.

"It's stuffy in the room, I want to go out for a walk."

She followed Prince Yue out of the palace alone, and there must be no maids around her. When she got outside, the maid sent up from below was not easy to use, so she didn't often call her to her side, and she just let her guard outside the door.

The servant girl knew her temperament, she didn't stop her, she didn't follow her, she let her go to the distance alone.

Not long after Zhuang Shu left the room, Mo Ting brought Wan Lin over.

Coincidentally, Prince Yue also finished talking with the following people, and when he returned to his residence, he was very surprised to see them: "General Wan, this is—"

Mo Ting just laughed, his face was very gloomy: "Prince Yue, this side concubine, is really extraordinary."
