Regarding any questions about the Zhao family, Yuwendong's answer was that he didn't know. His reason was that although he and the Zhao family started the rebellion together, each led its own soldiers. Unless they needed to cooperate, they generally did not exchange internal information.
They are afraid of betraying each other.
This statement makes sense from a certain perspective, but Yun Jingchu is not ready to believe it. However, she is not ready to interrogate Yu Wendong immediately. She is waiting for the right opportunity, one where Yu Wendong is willing to tell everything.
the right opportunity.
This opportunity came soon.
According to reports from spies, Dingluo City is about ten miles southeast of Weicheng. It is said that it is guarded by Zhao Kefeng's eldest son, Zhao Rongxue.
Zhao Kefeng was the eldest son of Duke Dingguo and was the former Minister of Household Affairs. His son Zhao Rongxue was once the commander of the Royal Forest Army. Before the Zhao family rebelled, he quietly escaped from the capital with his family.
These are not the main things. The main thing is that Zhao Rongxue does not agree with his own family's rebellion, so naturally there is a gap between Yu Wendong, the culprit who brought his family into trouble.
Therefore, if they take Yuwendong to attack Dingluo City, they can use Yuwendong's life to threaten Zhao Rongxue into surrender.
If Zhao Rongxue surrenders, everything will be easy. If Zhao Rongxue does not surrender, it will just happen to sow the relationship between Yuwendong and the Zhao family, making Yuwendong feel cold towards the Zhao family, so that he may cooperate with them.
Having made up his mind, Yun Jingchu went to Lin Qishan and expressed his suggestions.
After listening to Yun Jingchu's suggestion, Lin Qishan's eyes flashed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "I think it's feasible. So, who do you think should be asked to complete this task?"
"I would like to recommend my eldest brother and third brother to go." Yun Jingchu said without hesitation.
"Oh?" Lin Qishan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me your reasons."
"First, my Yun family and Yuwen family have enmity, so using Yu Wendong to threaten Zhao Rongxue is more reasonable and will not fail. Second, if my eldest brother and third brother go there, Zhao Rongxue will easily relax his vigilance, which will easily make us
Find the flaws. Third, my eldest brother and third brother are young and do not have any reputation. It is more reasonable to do things that threaten people than veterans who are already famous and will not lose their status," Yun Jingchu said.
Her reasons, of course, concealed her personal reasons for wanting her two brothers to gain authority in the military.
After hearing the reasons given by Yun Jingchu, Lin Qishan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I will give you this chance. Since you have won many times, I am willing to believe in you again."
Yun Jingchu smiled and thanked: "Thank you, general, I won't let you down."
Early the next morning, Yun Jingyan and Yun Jingxi ordered five thousand soldiers and took Yu Wendong to Dingluo City.
Yun Jingchu, Wu Jiu and Baili Wushang pretended to be their personal soldiers and followed them.
Three miles behind them, Bai Ruoxi led 30,000 people to follow in case of emergency.
Two hours later, five thousand people led by Yun Jingyan and Yun Jingxi stopped outside Dingluo City.
The guards in the city had already passed the news to Zhao Rongxue in the city, and soon Zhao Rongxue boarded the tower.
Zhao Rongxue is in his early twenties, with a resolute face and a pair of dark eyes like cold jade, exuding a faint coldness.
Now, Zhao Rongxue's cold eyes swept across the face of Yu Wendong who was tied to the horse, and then looked at Yun Jingxi.
