Chapter 1022: Just take it as a lesson!

The next afternoon, Pei Mao and Zhou Daogong rushed to Lu Lin camp with their personal soldiers.

Thanks to Yuan Cong's later dispatch of someone to report to Pei Mao that Yun Zheng had led his troops back to Fuzhou, Pei Mao did not mobilize the main force which was forty miles away from Lu Lin's camp.

Looking at Yuan Cong lying on the bed, Pei Mao felt both sympathy and anger.

But more often than not, there is nothing we can do.

Yun Zheng did not mobilize a large army to attack Juzhou, but only brought his "royal guards" to Lu Lin's camp to have a chat with Yuan Cong.

As a prince, Yun Zheng also holds multiple positions, so it is completely reasonable for him to lead three thousand personal guards.

Not to mention him, even Yun Li, the Crown Prince who was the Regent, couldn't say anything.

We can only blame Yuan Cong and his son for being so unlucky.

"How's the injury?"

Pei Mao sat down beside Yuan Cong's bed and asked with a sigh.

"I can't die!"

Yuan Cong answered firmly.

"You said you are the same, why don't you use your brain?"

Zhou Daogong sat down and said, "Yun Zheng has hundreds of thousands of troops. If he really wants to invade Juzhou, how could he only bring so few people?"

"I……"

Yuan Cong's face twitched violently, and he cursed Zhou Daogong's ancestors madly in his heart.

I've already been in such a state, but he still blames me?

"It's not his fault."

Pei Mao waved his hands and sighed, "I have also heard about the feud between the Sixth Prince and their father and son. The Sixth Prince deliberately embarrassed the court. Even if their father and son were respectful to the Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince would find other reasons to deal with them!"

"That's true!" Zhou Daogong sighed helplessly, and then comforted Yuan Cong, "Don't be angry with yourself. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, this is also a good thing."

good thing?

Yuan Cong's face darkened, and he asked sarcastically, "General Zhou, do you think this is a good thing?"

It’s certainly a good thing that the military stick didn’t fall on him!

He is clearly gloating!

"General Yuan, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that it's a good thing for you to be taught a lesson by Yun Zheng."

Zhou Daogong reacted and quickly explained: "Think about it, when Yun Zheng gave an order, the 15,000 troops in your camp did not dare to move. This is a warning to us!"

"Dao Gong is right!"

Pei Mao nodded and said solemnly: "The Sixth Prince is well-known, and the soldiers of all tribes are in awe of him! If we have to fight Yun Zheng in the future, we must be careful that the soldiers of all tribes surrender to Yun Zheng without firing a single arrow!"

This is indeed a troublesome matter.

Yun Zheng’s reputation is so loud!

Since Yun Zheng took over the army, he has never been defeated, and there are countless examples of him defeating a larger force with a smaller one.

No matter how many troops they lead to fight Yun Zheng, their own soldiers will be afraid before the battle even begins.

Not to mention the soldiers, even among these generals, who is not afraid of Yun Zheng?

They know what the problem is, but they don't know how to solve it.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

For a general, it is a tragedy to end up like this.

Listening to what the two said, Yuan Cong's expression suddenly dimmed, and he felt very aggrieved.

The army, which had been trained for such a long time, returned to the camp obediently after Yun Zheng gave an order.

Are these still the soldiers under his command?

These are clearly the troops training for Yun Zheng!

Yuan Cong was very upset and asked, "Does General Zhao know about this?"

"I'm sure I know."

Pei Mao replied: "After receiving the news you sent yesterday afternoon, I sent someone to report the matter to General Zhao. By now, the news should have been delivered to Suizhou."

Yuan Cong paused for a moment, then asked, "Then... the matter of clearing out the bandits..."

"That's what we're here for!"

Pei Mao interrupted Yuan Cong and said sternly: "These days, the bandits are indeed too rampant. We must wipe them out and restore order to Juzhou!"

They all knew exactly what was going on with these bandits.

However, some things cannot be said directly.

I hope everyone understands what I mean.

"Can……"

Yuan Cong was undecided, "What if the prince..."

"Nothing unexpected!"

Pei Mao's eyes were firm. "The Crown Prince has been ordered to supervise the state. There is a bandit problem in Juzhou. Can the Crown Prince still condone those bandits?"

Yuan Cong opened his mouth slightly and suddenly stopped talking.

Pei Mao’s meaning was very clear.

Those who disguise themselves as bandits should be put away.

It was obvious that those so-called bandits had strangled Yun Zheng's lifeblood.

If he doesn't put them away, Yun Zheng might really have to lead the army himself to wipe out the "bandits".

"Okay, that's settled."

Pei Mao did not dwell on this matter and said, "You and your son should go back to the city to recuperate first! While you are recovering, General Zhou will temporarily take charge of the troops in Lulin Camp."

"I'm fine!"

Yuan Cong immediately quit, "It's just a minor injury, no need to go back to the city to recuperate!"

"Have you thought about it?"

Pei Mao raised his eyelids slightly and reminded: "You know Yun Zheng better than us who he is! If Yun Zheng finds another reason to cause trouble for you, I can't protect you!"

He really did it for the good of Yuan Cong and his son.

There is also an important road from Juzhou leading to Fuzhou.

There are also 15,000 soldiers stationed there. Yun Zheng didn't go there, but came here to find Yuan Cong and his son. Doesn't this explain something?

Is Yuan Cong really not afraid that Yun Zheng will find an excuse to kill the father and son?

What? Does he think Yun Zheng doesn’t dare to take their lives?

After hearing Pei Mao's reminder, Yuan Cong suddenly felt guilty.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Cong nodded with difficulty.

Yun Zheng has been in Fuzhou recently.

It’s better to stay out of the spotlight first!

Wait until Yun Zheng is no longer in Fuzhou, and wait until the father and son have recovered from their injuries, then he will volunteer to lead the army.

"Take good care of your injuries!"

Pei Mao patted Yuan Cong's hand and said earnestly: "Don't think too much. This time, no matter who it is, the result will be the same!"

"I understand...

Yuan Cong was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

However, after listening to Pei Mao's comfort, he finally felt a little better.

It’s not that he is incompetent!

Yun Zheng’s identity and status are there.

Even if Pei Mao was here, he would not dare to order Yun Zheng's personal guards to be shot.

Pei Mao stood up slowly. "Alright, just briefly hand over to General Zhou. I'll go see nephew Yuan!"

"General, don't go!"

Speaking of Yuan Gui, Yuan Cong was filled with anger, "Let that evildoer reflect on himself!"

"How can you be such a father?"

Pei Mao smiled and glared at Yuan Cong, "It's normal for a young man to be impatient! Just take it as a lesson! Didn't we all go through this?"

Yuan Cong paused for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "Then I'll have to trouble you, General! Please scold this evildoer for me!"

"it is good!"

Pei Mao agreed and quickly walked out of the tent.

Zhou Daogong watched Pei Mao leave, then turned back and smiled at Yuan Cong: "General Yuan, please don't worry. General Pei is not going to remove your military power. He just wants you and your son to rest for a while! When you have recovered, you will still be in charge of this 15,000-man army!"

"Uh-huh……"

Yuan Cong nodded slightly, and then he took over from Zhou Daogong...
