That night, Ye Cheng and Lu Chong made a lot of arrangements. The next day, Lu Chong's entire army changed to white flags and returned to Yanzhou with 6,000 people.
This time he came out with sixteen thousand soldiers and horses.
Because Yanzhou and Yecheng were on their way to the capital, Lu Chong went with Yecheng.
People."
"Can he believe this... empress?"
"He will believe it, because the person sent by that idiot Xiao Tian to follow me is my original subordinate Xu Tao."
From Lu Bu to now, it has been twice. He is really curious. Didn't Xiao Tian do some back-up before sending people?
But this is a good thing. Xiao Tian is so stupid, it really helps!
On the way back, Yecheng encountered rebellions in three places. You must know that the official road to Dingtao in Yanzhou is only 200 miles away from the capital.
With so many rebellions occurring two hundred miles away from the capital, one can imagine how bad the situation in other places was.
The rebellions in these places were all pacified by Ye Cheng. Of course, the news spread by the rebels was that their rebellions were put down by Ye Cheng.
For a time, Ye Cheng’s reputation soared inside and outside the capital.
On the same day, at the Imperial Palace in the capital, An Qing held two memorials in his hands, his face was ashen, "My minister Ye Cheng has put down the rebellion in Dengfeng, and more than half of the Yanzhou troops and horses he led were damaged, but fortunately he did not disgrace his life."
In the other hand, there was the secret agent Xu Tao who was sent. The memorial sent back read, "Yecheng left the capital and went to Yanzhou to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. He was ambushed by bandits outside Dengcheng City, and more than half of them were injured, tens of thousands of people."
An Qing was so angry that her teeth were almost broken, "We lost ten thousand soldiers, ten thousand people!"
"Does Yecheng know how much food ten thousand people eat in a day? I have ten thousand warriors, and they died like this in his hands. You are under incompetent command!"
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger..."
"Xiao Tian, Yecheng has lost its troops and lost its generals, but its reputation is growing. You should tell me how to calm down my anger. ! "
"Your Majesty, please don't let this ruin the big thing. The most important thing right now is to strengthen your strength as soon as possible to compete with the Ye Cheng guy. It's just a false name. It doesn't hurt to let him enjoy it for a few days."
An Qing was very angry, but what Xiao Tian said was right...
She could only sigh and slowly said, "That's it! It's just what you said! Let him live in vain for a few days!"
"However, please pass on the order and let me know that he lost more than ten thousand people to put down the Dengfeng rebellion!"
"Even if it has no impact on him, we must disgust him!"
"I obey the order!" Xiao Tian hurriedly handed over and left the palace.
An Guogong Mansion, the news that An Ning heard in the past few days was originally about the suppression of the rebellion in Yecheng.
Today, Zhou An suddenly brought back bad news.
h "Mother, there are rumors outside that the master attacked Dengfeng and lost more than 10,000 soldiers."
h When An Ning heard this, he felt panicked for no reason.
"How can there be no damage when marching and fighting? Zhou An, are you too worried?"
tleous in the loss of 10,000 people, the master has transferred a total of sixteen thousand people.
With the loss of the troops to this extent, brother Ye Cheng is in danger.
"Zhou An, have you heard what the court is planning to do with my husband?"
"This is not true, but apart from this, the news spread outside is all good news. I guess the worst outcome for the master is just a balance of merit and demerit, right?"
An Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, Zhou An, tell me, where is he now?"
"As expected, it's time to return to Beijing today."
After the words fell, a calm and clear voice came from outside the door, "I'm back."
An Ning was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she quickly turned around and threw herself into the arms of the person at the door.
Peace was in his arms, and the tears couldn't stop anymore, and they fell.
"Brother Yecheng... there are rumors outside that you attacked Dengfeng and lost more than 10,000 people. I, I'm so afraid that you will be punished for this."
She choked with sobs, her fingertips tightly grasping the hem of his clothes, as if if she let go, the person in front of her would disappear.
Ye Cheng gently stroked her hair and chuckled: "Silly girl, who told you that is true?"
An Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "It's not true? But Zhou An said that Yanzhou only mobilized 16,000 people... If more than half of them were really lost, wouldn't you..."
"Wouldn't I escape a narrow escape? Right? "?"
Ye Cheng said and smiled, "Since the people he sent to follow me are my people, then naturally what An Qing wants to know requires my nod to know."
An Ning put away the tears in her eyes, "What about the truth?"
"The rebels in Dengfeng City are all my people now, and the governor of Yanzhou, Lu Chong, has joined forces with me under the persuasion of his teacher."
"Now, we have the land of two states in our hands."
When An Ning heard this, the tears on her face were no longer visible at all, and instead she was filled with joy.
My dear sister, you have been having a hard time lately."
An Ning rolled her eyes at Ye Cheng, "You are kind-hearted. People are thinking about how to kill you all day long, but you want to help others calm down."
"Many things are coming to a critical moment now. So, let An Qing calm down, so that she will not cause trouble and ruin our big event."
"That's right, brother Ye Cheng, what should we do next?"
h "Recuperate and continue to be an idler in the capital."
