Everything about eunuchs comes from grace.

When he loses his dignity and enters the palace, he must learn to observe words and expressions.

As a eunuch who served the emperor day and night, Wang Kun thought he was one of the best at observing words and emotions. But he really couldn't see through Huang Yi.

What kind of price should be given to impress the Xinghe Army general?

Beauty? Treasure?

Thoughts flashed through my mind, but they couldn't leave any trace.

Wang Kun had experienced the atmosphere of the military camp in Xinghe Army, and had heard and witnessed Huang Yi's living habits.

I feel that Huang Yi is definitely not a person who is greedy for pleasure.

So, maybe he wants more military pay? More military supplies?

Huang Yi seems to be a greedy person.

Otherwise, why would Wang Kun, Diao Dianbao and Diao Debao offend the government and the public and fight to the death to collect the 100,000 military pay?

Wang Kun, who thought of this, did not realize how legitimate and basic the request for adequate military pay was.

But it's not like that. Huang Yi's greed for money is completely different from the kind of money Wang Kun has seen.

He is greedy for money just to gain control. The thing he covets most...may be something that people like him are hard to give him.

Wang Kun's mind was spinning rapidly and his face remained calm.

He couldn't let others see that he was helpless against Huang Yi, but since he believed that Huang Yi had an agenda, he had to strike it in advance.

"My Lord Governor, the Xinghe Army is here to relieve the siege of Laizhou City. Instead of rushing to urge General Huang Yi to launch a general offensive, your Majesty, you should first consider how to face His Majesty's accountability."

‘Boom! Rumble~’

As Wang Kun finished speaking, the explosion of cannon outside the city seemed to be more harsh than before.

Liu Yulie may be timid, but he is not stupid. Sun Yuanhua's warnings are clearly there, how could he not know what he is going to face.

"It is true that the governor failed to lead the troops to defeat the enemy, so he is thinking about it. I only hope to wipe out this group of rebellious officials and traitors as soon as possible before I can go to the capital to meet His Majesty."

"Haha~" Wang Kun snorted with a smile, "This group of rebels is very capable and cunning, and the Governor should know it best. If you launch a general attack one day early, you will have to bear more damage."

After so many years in the officialdom, now that Wang Kun has shown himself like this, Liu Yulie can certainly see that he is asking for benefits.

However, Liu Yulie did not simply want to urge the Xinghe Army to fight to the death with the rebels.

The head coach of the Xinghe Army did not care about him as the governor at all, and he did not take any credit for the victory. After this was over, God knows whether the cold-hearted Emperor Chongzhen would accuse himself.

It's not a big deal to take off this black gauze hat. If the emperor doesn't like me, his head will be in danger.

"My father-in-law did not know that before the Xinghe Army arrived at Laizhou City, the governor had been negotiating with the rebels. Yuan Chonghuan's men defrauded Mao Wenlong's head and forced the generals in Dongjiang Town to betray the court. But now Yuan Chonghuan has surrendered to the law.

, these old members of Dongjiang Town still have some thoughts of serving the imperial court again."

Since the two armies were at a stalemate, and since the Xinghe Army cherished their feathers and refused to attack by force, then the boy named Huang Yi probably wanted to wear out the rebels until they retreated.

After hearing these non-stop bombardments for many days, I got used to it.

The courage that ran out earlier has returned a bit.

Liu Yulie felt in his heart that something could be done here. If done well, the merit of recruiting an army would be enough to offset his guilt.

"Oh~ there is such a thing?"

"It's true. It must be because the old troops in Dongjiang Town didn't want any more casualties. That's why they retreated. Father, you see, after many days of shelling, the Xinghe Army didn't suffer a lot of casualties...

Presumably the rebels are not thinking of killing them all, there is still room for negotiation."

When you mention this, it seems that the rebels deliberately fired some harmless artillery, and it has nothing to do with the artillery defense fortifications built by the Xinghe Army.

Liu Yulie deliberately spoke lightly of the Xinghe Army's achievements, which also let Wang Kun know that he didn't have any bargaining chips. Don't open your mouth too wide if you want to rip him off.

"Huh! Did you have a good time talking with the rebels? Don't talk nonsense here. Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others have already committed heinous crimes. Do they still want to return to the court?

Can you, a governor who is surrounded by artillery in the city and dare not raise his head, recruit the aggressive rebels outside the city?

Liu Yulie, Liu Yulie, think carefully about what you are saying."

Yes, there are some outrageous things to say. In history, these gangsters actually did it. Silly Huhu was tricked into being a prisoner.

However, although Wang Kun said this, the meaning behind his words was to tell Liu Yulie not to be sneaky and sneaky, and to prepare the benefits that should be prepared.

"I have not told any falsehoods. The correspondence between me and Kong Youde has always been brought to the palace for discussion with all the gentlemen. Sirs, can you testify with me? Even in front of His Majesty, I am frank and candid!

Now the recruitment is coming to an end. Now the Supervisor of the Army is in charge...

Of course! The Xinghe Army traveled thousands of miles to come to Laizhou to help. This governor will never forget this credit. As long as my father-in-law and this governor contact the rebels again, I am willing to open the gate of Laizhou City and let Xinxin fight against the enemy.

The officers and soldiers of the Xinghe Army entered the city to garrison!"

It should be said that Liu Yulie is worthy of being a Jinshi, and he is full of good calculations.

With a few words, Wang Kun was brought on board. Once the recruitment was successful, he, the eunuch Wang, would have the first contribution.

As for the consequences of letting foreign soldiers into the city, who doesn’t know? Since ancient times, bandits have passed through like a comb, and soldiers have passed through like a sieve.

Could it be that the governor regarded the entire city of Laizhou as a gift, intending to give it to foreign troops to ravage at will.

It's just that he doesn't know what kind of army the Xinghe Army is. After all, people in this era really can't imagine...

There can be an army that does nothing against the people.

There will be an army that does not extort military pay.

As an army, they would lose money even if they trample a chicken to death, let alone rape civilian girls or humiliate their wives and children.

Shouldn’t the army be equipped with weapons even for disaster relief?

Let’s not talk about the light shining in Wang Kun’s eyes and what Huang Yi would think after hearing about the incident.

At this time, in the rebel camp, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were scratching their heads.

"Do you think the camp outside is fake?"

"How is it possible? You can see those soldiers digging trenches everywhere. They are as busy as local dogs."

"I have never heard of such a unit. Those are cannons! I saw with my own eyes that the cannonballs landed on the side of his head, and he was still able to dig dirt under that ditch."

Kong Youde looked at his subordinates arguing with a gloomy face.

Many days had passed, and the spies he sent to Laizhou City had already figured out which army was coming.

But what is unbelievable is that after so much money was spent, not a single spy was able to penetrate into the Xinghe Army.

The military camp was like a bottomless pool, and neither cannonballs nor scouts could detect the depth.
