Hong Wuding did not lead his army northward, so he would not throw his property and life into a pit so casually.

Someone in the DPRK indeed instructed him to do these things, and they swore to him some promises.

But he is not that stupid, just like Yun Guhong, who had half a million troops in his hands, but was played to death.

He doesn't have an army of 500,000 in his hands. These border troops are the foundation for his survival.

He would not let himself get into such a deep trap and withhold Yuyu Chengchang's memorial. This kind of thing would not only make him lose his head, but also his entire family would be executed.

Although the Hong family is not a first-class big family, they will not let others manipulate them casually.

So until now, he has not been personally involved in anything.

The interception of Yu Yucheng's memorial was done by the Dongbo people themselves. He just sent someone to casually and vaguely express this intention, and no one would know that it was his intention.

.

The people Yu Yucheng sent for help in a hurry were not killed by him. In any country without a general, there will be countless traitors and countless lackeys. Hongwu will definitely have people who can take advantage of them.

And in such a country, some people who were willing to kill for money are now willing to kill for food.

Hong Wu will definitely not leave Caoshu City. If he really leads his army to Dongbo Northern Territory to kill Yu Yu Cheng Chong, that will be irrefutable proof.

He just wanted to watch quietly and live well in Dongbo.

As his most trusted aide, Cui Li gave him many ideas and came up with many solutions.

If he hadn't been in Dongbo, Cui Li would not have escaped death, because he was a member of the Cui family and Cui Fanye's third uncle.

On the wall of Caoshu City, Hong Wuding looked to the north. He really wanted to see what Yu Yu Chengchang looked like now.

"General."

Cui Li walked to Hong Wuding and spoke in a low voice.

"Our people in Yunzhou sent news that Lin Ye may have left the country."

Hong Wu agreed.

Cui Li said: "My subordinates guess that Lin Ye will not come to Caoshu City to see the general, because he must suspect that these things are related to the general."

Hong Wuding hummed again.

Cui Li continued: "If nothing happens, Lin Ye will bypass Caoshu City and go directly to Xiantang to meet Yu Yu Chengchang."

Hong Wuding looked at Cui Li: "Mr. Cui, do you want Lin Ye to die in Dongbo?"

Cui Li said: "Lin Ye's death in Dongbo is good for everyone, especially the general."

Hong Wuding did not respond to his words.

Cui Li further said: "The imperial court informed that His Majesty has specially established the Three North Protectorate for Lin Ye. General, you will have no choice but to be suppressed by him..."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Wuding frowned.

"Mr. Cui."

Hong Wuding said in a calm tone: "I know something happened to your Cui family and many people died. Fortunately, not many people know that you are in our army. I will not inform the court. You should also be aware of your situation.

"

Cui Li was shocked.

He really wanted to get rid of Lin Ye with the help of Hong Wuding. Cui Fuye sent him a letter, saying that the Cui family's affairs were closely related to Lin Ye.

At this time, Lin Ye was coming to Dongbo, and he really wanted to take this opportunity to kill Lin Ye.

But Hong Wuding's words made him feel afraid.

The fact that he is alive and that he can still be regarded as a master is all due to the care of Hong Wuding.

His words of encouragement just now were too direct, which obviously aroused Hong Wuding's dissatisfaction.

If he kept talking, Hong Wuding might really give up on him.

As soon as he thought about this, Cui Li quickly leaned over and said: "General, my subordinate said something that I shouldn't have said. Please punish me, General."

Hong Wuding said: "I can understand Mr. Cui's mood, and I can also understand what you want to do."

He looked into the distance and said: "But Mr. Cui should not forget his duty. I was just thinking about what mistakes I have made. Who can avoid making mistakes? For example, if he forgets his duty just now,

If you forget, I can still remind you. If you keep forgetting, I'm afraid I won't be able to remind you."

Cui Li was silent for a moment, took two steps back, lifted his robe and knelt down.

"General, something big happened to the Cui family. If the general hadn't taken him in, Cui Li would have died. Cui Li forgot his duty today. Cui Li deserves to die. But Cui Li still wants to do things for the general, so I beg you.

Let’s spare Cui Li’s life for now.”

While he was talking, he suddenly put his finger into his mouth and bit off his little finger.

Hong Wuding's expression changed slightly.

Cui Li spat out the finger in his mouth and kowtowed: "The death penalty will be remembered for the time being, but it must be punished. This finger is used by Cui Li for memory."

Hong Wuding said: "There is something Mr. Cui seems to have forgotten. I once fought side by side with Lord Protector, and we have a life-and-death friendship."

Cui Li's heart tightened because of these words.

Hong Wuding leaned over and helped Cui Li up, turned around and shouted: "Where are the soldiers? Take Mr. Cui to bandage."

The soldiers came over quickly, but Cui Li leaned over and said: "General, I think it's time to submit a memorial."

Hong Wuding said: "I sent people to Geling for the memorial mentioned by Mr. Cui three days ago. You should go and treat your injuries first. There is no need to rush back to see me and take a good rest."

Cui Li opened his mouth, but in the end he just nodded, then bowed and left.

At this moment, he was still terribly scared. If he had reacted even half a minute slower and didn't immediately beg for mercy and admit his mistake, he might not be able to survive tonight.

He was an aide, but he wanted to use the general to take revenge. How could the general tolerate him?

Now he only lost one finger, let alone one, and he was lucky to be alive after biting them all off.

Thinking of what Hong Wuding said just now, the fear in his heart became even stronger.

Hong Wuding had already sent someone to deliver the memorial to Geling, but he did not mention the matter to him, which meant that he might have shown something before that made Hong Wuding dissatisfied.

The memorial written by Hong Wuding is very interesting. How to write this memorial is also Cui Li's intention.

Hong Wuding said in the memorial that this was the fifth memorial he had sent to Geling. His Majesty had never approved the previous memorials, which made me feel uneasy.

In the memorial, he explained the current situation of Dongbo in detail, saying that he had presented the memorial four times in a row, requesting His Majesty to allocate assistance to Dongbo.

He also said that the food supplies for the border army were already insufficient.

The rescue that Yunzhou sent to Dongbo was secretly divided by the Dongbo area, causing refugees to rob it, and it failed to reach Xiantang. This matter has been reported in the previous memorial.

In short, this memorial made him feel clean.

At this moment, watching Cui Li leave, Hong Wuding's face was no longer so gloomy.

He waved, and Zhao Jinge, the commander of the personal army, immediately ran over.

"Send someone to go to Xiantang."

Hong Wuding said something, paused for a moment, and then continued: "You went to Xiantang in person and told Lin Ye that Lin Ye was coming. If Lin Ye knew that they encouraged Lord Dongbo to have a secret meeting with the Loufan people, Lin Ye would not be able to forgive him.

Got them."

Zhao Jinge asked: "General, are you asking them to find a way to kill Lin Ye?"

Hong Wuding frowned.

Zhao Jinge reacted immediately and hurriedly leaned over and said: "My subordinates are wrong. They know what to do. All you need to do is tell them exactly what the general just said and borrow others' words. They will naturally understand what to do."

Hong Wuding nodded: "Go."

Zhao Jinge immediately turned around and left, with a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Hong Wuding held his hands on the city wall and looked into the distance, thinking to himself.

General Lin, I actually admire you very much. If not necessary, I would also like to become a close friend with you.

He took a deep breath.

Dayu is not in troubled times, but it is in chaos now. It is not that easy to survive in the chaos of this chaos.

It was also at this time that Yunzhou was a few hundred miles north, just about to leave the customs.

Cui Fanye sat in the carriage, frowning.

He didn't know that Lin Ye had already come out of seclusion, but he knew that Lin Ye would definitely come out of seclusion.

He had exchanged letters with Cui Li. Not long ago, he received a letter from Cui Li informing Yu Yu of Cheng's secret meeting with the Loufan people. He knew that Lin Ye would also receive the news.

If not, someone will deliberately send news to Lin Ye. After all, some people are looking forward to Lin Ye getting out of confinement.

So he concluded that Lin Ye would definitely rush to Dongbo.

His third uncle Cui Li is in Hongwu Ding's army. Hongwu Ding is the biggest force that the Cui family can use now.

If you can't use Hongwuding, then use Dongbo people.

It would be better for Lin Ye to die in Dongbo than to die in Yunzhou.
