Li Zhongya's deeds were widely circulated in Yicheng, Wucheng, not only the local people knew about it, but it could be said that everyone in the court knew about it.

Many people are envious of Li Zhongya's ability to go directly from a fourth-rank general to a second-rank general, but apart from him, no one can succeed.

But it still tempted some people, like Joad.

He felt that he was also the guard of Yicheng. If something happened to Wucheng and General Feng was killed, wouldn't it be most convenient for him to take over?

Of course, before he just thought about it, it was so easy to take over.

Even Li Zhongya was dismissed three times before he could secure his position.

But it's different now, there are senior officials in the court to ensure that they take over.They all agreed that as long as they did what he said, he would remonstrate in the court and ask him to follow Li Zhongya's example.

After much deliberation, Qiao Desi still couldn't resist the temptation, and contacted General Feng's deputy.

As I said before, Yicheng is the main logistics of Wucheng. Many soldiers in Wucheng were transferred from Yicheng. This deputy general went out from Yicheng at the beginning.

He and Qiao De belonged to the same group, because of their relatively high martial arts skills, they gradually became a lieutenant general, while Qiao De was not close, but he was better at internal affairs, so he was sent to Yicheng.

Qiao De told the lieutenant general that with General Feng around, he would be just a lieutenant general all his life, and there was nothing he could do.

In the past ten years, although Jinbing has harassed from time to time, there have been no large-scale knock-offs. In other words, if there is no battle, there is no chance of promotion.

Moreover, because there were fewer battles, the payment of military salaries in the DPRK and China was not active, and it was delayed again and again.

General Feng is an old-fashioned person, and they are absolutely not allowed to search for civilians, and once found, they will be dealt with by military law.

As a result, their days as soldiers became more and more difficult, and their future was hopeless.

The deputy general thought over and over again, but he couldn't hold back the temptation. Firstly, the money Joad gave was too much, and secondly, the general's position was also very attractive.

Of course, he is not stupid, he naturally knows what Qiao De is up to, and who doesn't know about Li Zhongya's deeds.

But now it's different from Li Zhongya's time. Back then, it was all the soldiers in Wucheng who died in the city, so Li Zhongya had to go on top first.

But isn't he here now?

The lieutenant general's idea was that when he went to the battlefield, he would do something to let General Feng die on the battlefield, and then he would take over and bring the other soldiers back to the city to defend.

As General Feng's only third lieutenant general, he has the oldest qualifications and the most military merits, and the other two are not qualified to earn with him, so he can take over the general's position logically.

Of course, the lieutenant also knew that the support of high-ranking officials in the capital was indispensable for success, so he played tricks, learned about the person behind him from Jod, and contacted him himself.

As for the person behind it, of course he doesn't mind having an extra pawn, but he also knows how to hide. He even concealed his identity when contacting the lieutenant general, and there was no signature in the letter.

The lieutenant general wanted something from others, and he didn't mind such a small matter, so he did it according to their plan.

Who would have thought that what he thought was a foolproof plan, but accidentally leaked a flaw, and was discovered by General Feng, who caught him.

After the deputy general was arrested, he did not confess immediately, but followed what he had said at the beginning, not saying anything, and waiting for the people behind him to come to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was silence.

On General Feng's side, the military situation is urgent. Even if he knew there was a mastermind behind the scenes, he didn't have time to investigate. He just gathered up the confiscated letters and waited until the war was over.

But he was careless, the planner of this matter, besides the lieutenant general, was behind Qiao De and more than one high-ranking official in the capital.

Therefore, his food and grass were cut off, and rescue was delayed. In the end, all Wucheng soldiers died in the city.

Qiao De has been paying attention to the developments in Wucheng. Knowing that the deputy general has been exposed, he quickly contacted his eyeliner in Wucheng and asked them to find a way to silence him.

After that, the situation intensified, Wucheng was destroyed, Wucheng soldiers and Feng's family were all dead, and only Feng Heng's master and servant were left who knew about his plot.

So he asked his housekeeper to find a small gang in Yicheng, and sent someone to intercept Feng Heng's master and servant, pretending to be a gangster robber.

After all, Feng Heng is the orphan of General Feng, and everyone in the Feng family died in the city. Regarding Feng Heng, the court should pay more attention to it. Knowing that he died at the hands of Jianghu people, they will not inquire any more.

In this way, what Joad did was completely covered up.

The only regret is that Wucheng was indeed destroyed, and his hope of becoming a second-rank general was gone.

Moreover, Yicheng became a frontier city facing Jin Bing directly, almost losing his wife and losing his soldiers.

Before the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived, Qiao De had no choice but to cheer up and deal with the enemy, so the matter of dealing with Feng Heng's master and servant was left to the housekeeper.

The butler was quick to do things, and he almost succeeded. Didn't he meet Anxi and Huang Yaoshi!

The housekeeper was involved in this matter before and after, so he knew everything, and under the power of Huang Yaoshi's tarsal bone needle, he said everything.

In addition to the deputy general and Qiao De, there is also a Minister of the Ministry of War and two Ministers of the Ministry of War who participated in the capital. The other stewards are unknown.

Feng Heng gritted his teeth, "Why did they do this? What good will it do them to bring gold soldiers into the pass? Could it be that they will have something good to eat if Song is subjugated?"

Anxi thought for a while, "Corruption! If there is a war, the military pay will be allocated. The military pay has always been distributed from the treasury to the Ministry of War, and then dispatched by the Ministry of War. In this way

, they can make a fortune, or even a few.In the past few years, the border between Song and Jin was relatively stable, and there were not many wars. Presumably, some people in the court did not want to share too much military pay.If the Minister of the Ministry of War wants to be greedy, he must have a war! "

"But there's no need for the Jin soldiers to destroy Wucheng, right?" Feng Heng was puzzled. She knew about the embezzlement of military pay. Less than one-tenth.

But those corrupt officials can't start wars for the sake of money!

What good is war?How many soldiers will be killed or injured in the war together?Those are living human lives!

There is also her father, who has worked so hard to defend Wucheng these years, and has not had a good night's sleep for more than ten years, because he is afraid that he will not be able to react in time to the war.

Huang Yaoshi sneered, "It's because General Feng guarded the border very well and there was no war, so they wanted to cooperate with the outside world and attract the golden soldiers into the pass!"

Anxi nodded silently.

Jin people are not fools, and they will not send troops without definite benefits.

In recent years, the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty have also begun to decay, and they have long lost their ambitions. In addition, the borders of the Song Dynasty are well guarded. After a battle, it is a loss-making business.

If it wasn't for someone in the Song Dynasty who promised to send a few cities, they would not be willing to send troops.

Feng Heng is a smart person, and he understands the truth.

Therefore, if someone in the court wants to be greedy for money, a war will start.When the Jin people mobilized troops, Wucheng could not be defended, so my father, the general who defended Wucheng, had to die.

"Father, father..." Feng Heng broke down in tears. He was a loyal and patriotic father, and also a soldier who died unjustly in Wucheng.

People's hearts are ghosts and ghosts, and people's hearts are sinister, that's all.

How can someone disregard the lives of their compatriots for some yellow and white things, do they still have a conscience in their hearts?

Feng Heng couldn't help sneering in his heart, if the country can be sold, there is no conscience.He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "They, they are not afraid that the Song Dynasty will really perish, and they themselves will become subjugated slaves?"

Huang Yaoshi's face was as deep as water, "Three years ago, the Jin court issued a talent recruitment order. All talented people, no matter Jin people or Song people, can seek official positions in the Jin Dynasty. In the past three years, many people who have failed People from the Song Dynasty traveled north to Dadu, and some of them got high positions. I am afraid that those people thought that even if the Song Dynasty perished, they could still serve in the Jin Dynasty and enjoy the current treatment. Get some."

When Feng Heng heard it, his heart became cold, "This is the Song Dynasty that the sky is going to kill me!"

Anxi laughed, "No, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was not the master of Zhongxing. This edict sounds powerful, so I just listened to it. Presumably those Song people who won high positions also have the blood of the nobles of the Jin Dynasty?"

Although Anxi had just crossed over, no matter in history or in the books of shooting the eagles, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty at this time was not a wise king, nor did he have the arrogance to confer talents in an eclectic manner.

Huang Yaoshi nodded and nodded, "illegitimate son, adopted son, son-in-law and the like." They are all so-called related households.

This is easy to understand. The illegitimate child was born to a nobleman of the Jin Dynasty and a girl from the Song Dynasty. Even if he grew up in the Song Dynasty, he must be of noble blood!

The adopted son-in-law and the like must all be Song people who grew up in the Jin Dynasty. On the surface, they are orphans of Song people, but in fact they are Jin people, old bananas.

Appointing these people as high-ranking officials is not a condescending talent at all, but just setting a good benchmark.

This is like a modern family business. The top executives of the company are all family insiders, but in order to make the company more friendly to the people, a few so-called outsiders were recruited as executives.

And these outsiders are the illegitimate children of a certain high-level executive who did not disclose it, sons-in-law who have the means and ability to get married.

Speaking of which, they are still a family, but they have a good reputation.

Even so, Feng Heng didn't get much comfort. Her father died wronged, but the country that his father guarded all his life was rotten.

This makes him under the nine springs, I am afraid that he will not be safe!

Now that the matter has been found out, they will punish the bad guys and take revenge.

But now there is a problem, the golden soldiers outside Yicheng are watching like a tiger, and Yicheng cannot lose its guards.

I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. Even if they arrive, are they generals who can lead troops to fight, or are they just sending some soldiers?

These are all unknowns. For the people of Yicheng, they can't blindly take Qiao De's life, and they have to wait for Yicheng to stabilize.

Then you have to be careful, and you can't let Joad find out that he has been exposed.

What if he doesn't do anything at all, doesn't guard the city anymore, and just runs away?

Or in order to escape responsibility, directly lead the soldiers of Yicheng to betray the gold, then they will become sinners through the ages.

Therefore, the 'steward' must go back safely, first appease Joad, let him fight well, and ensure that he will not have a different heart.

Anxi discussed with Huang Yaoshi, and Anxi will go to this task.

He is confident that with his own ability, he can not only deceive Qiao De, but also grasp the general direction of the war in Yicheng through Qiao De.

In terms of fighting, he thought he was more familiar with Huang Yaoshi, a Jianghu man.

And Huang Yaoshi's task is to use the tarsal bone needles to control the soldiers disguised as men in black, so as not to let them show their flaws.

These people can't be killed, and they have to be told to go back safely, so that Joad can rest assured.
