"Oh? Is Ning Wushuang so miserable?"
Nie Chen immediately became interested, and Zhou Ping, Ouyang Ming and others around him also listened attentively.
Qi Huan nodded and said,
"Yes, my lord, before Ning Wushuang took charge of the army again, the only person in the Ning family with military power was Ning Yuan.
Do you remember Ningyuan? He was the general who was poisoned by me under Liu Hu's tent.
This time, King Andong sent Ning Wushuang to take charge of the army again. Firstly, the reason was that their main force and commander were focused on the south. They were fighting against King Zhennan and did not take us seriously. Ning Wushuang was the only one at home. This handsome man is unemployed, so it is most appropriate to let him come.
Secondly, because Ning Yuan died in the battle, the Ning family had no military power at all. Among the four major families, everyone had to control some military power. King Anton also wanted to maintain balance, so he let Ning Wushuang regain control. soldiers.
Ning Yuan is Ning Wushuang's cousin. "
"So, Ning Wushuang's cousin died in our hands. In this case, he must hate us, right?"
"That's not true, lord. As far as I know, Ning Wushuang doesn't have a good relationship with almost everyone in the Ning family, because Ning Wushuang's father is a concubine, and Ning Yuan's father is a legitimate son.
Ning Wushuang earned his position by relying on his true talents and knowledge, but as you know, these big families take the hierarchy and bloodline very seriously, and the status of a legitimate son is much higher than that of a concubine.
So after Ning Wushuang took charge of the military, those in his direct line were very jealous of him and tried every means to slander him.
Later, because of Ning Wushuang, members of the Ning family were beheaded and exiled, and they hated Ning Wushuang even more. "
"Understood, although Ning Wushuang is a person with real talents and learning, as far as King Anton is concerned, he is a character that his uncle does not care about or his grandma does not love. In this way, it will be easier to handle.
In other words, for Ning Wushuang, the only thing he cares about is his biological parents. "
"That's right, my lord."
Qi Huan nodded.
Nie Chen smiled when he heard this and said,
"Mr. Ouyang, you have been classmates with Ning Wushuang for several years, so you should be able to imitate his handwriting, right?"
Ouyang Ming also smiled and said,
"The Lord wants me to imitate Ning Wushuang's handwriting, write a letter to his parents, and then ask the brothers of the Shadow Guard to take it back and tell his parents that Ning Wushuang has surrendered to our side, let us Go get his parents, right?”
"Yes, sir, you understand me very well, that's what I mean!"
Nie Chen laughed.
Qi Huan also said with bright eyes.
"I understand, lord, you are going to use his parents to blackmail him and force him to surrender, right?"
"No!"
"No!"
Nie Chen and Ouyang Ming shook their heads together.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Ouyang Ming said,
"My Lord, please speak."
"No, sir, tell me."
Nie Chen knew that Ouyang Ming might be thinking the same thing as him, but Ouyang Ming had just arrived here and had not made any achievements yet, so Nie Chen wanted to give this credit to Ouyang Ming.
He himself is the lord, so there is no point in asking for credit.
Ouyang Ming cast a grateful look at Nie Chen, and then said,
"If you want to conquer a person's heart, blackmail alone is not enough. Even if Ning Wushuang was coerced into surrendering and submitting to us, he would always have a knot in his heart, and he would not be able to work hard in the future.
We need to ask his parents to advise him and make him surrender sincerely.
General Qi, according to your description, Ning Wushuang's parents are concubines and their status in the family is not very good. I think life is also very difficult and they are not popular with others.
We invited his parents over, and then gave them gold, silver, and a house, and let them take them to travel around the mountains and rivers, experience happiness they had never experienced before, and let them indulge in depravity.
Then the lord personally came forward to receive him, etc., showing him enough respect and giving him both material and spiritual enjoyment.
By that time, even if Ning Wushuang wants to force them to leave, they will not be willing to leave our place.
Moreover, after our Shadow Guards picked up Ning Wushuang's parents, they spread rumors in Dongping County, saying that Ning Wushuang wanted to surrender to us and had secretly picked up his parents.
With Prince Anton's suspicious and petty character, he would definitely not tolerate Ning Wushuang's betrayal, even if it was just a matter of suspicion.
When the time comes, he will either order to seize Ning Wushuang's military power and let Ning Wushuang go back to punish him, or he will send supervisory troops to monitor Ning Wushuang, or even take over the military power.
No matter what the situation was, it was enough to make him frustrated.
As long as Ning Wushuang is no longer able to command the army, then we can take advantage of the situation. I don’t need to say more about what to do next, right? "
Hearing this, Qi Huan's eyes brightened and he said,
"Sir, what a wonderful idea. It's so wonderful. You can defeat a strong enemy without losing any blood. Otherwise, I would say that you scholars are smart. This is too awesome."
"General Qi is ridiculous. Let me ask you, how long does it take for Ning Wushuang to lead his army from Dongping County to reach us?"
"It will take about a month. Although they have many chariots and troops, they also have more infantry, and they also have baggage, food, grass and other supplies, so the speed will not be fast."
"Okay, then I'll write a letter for you to give to the Shadow Guard brothers in Dongping County, asking them to pick up Ning Wushuang's parents twenty-five days from today. Of course, if others are suitable, it would be better. You can also wait for the opportunity, but don't be too far behind in time.
Five days later, the news of Ning Wushuang's surrender and rebellion was announced.
Also, you know this, I know it, my lord and Mr. Zhou know it, and don’t let anyone know the rest.
Otherwise, Ning Wushuang would still feel uncomfortable if she knew it was us who was behind this trick. "
"I will finally understand!"
Qi Huan nodded immediately.
Ouyang Ming immediately took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter. The handwriting on it was crooked, completely different from his usual graceful handwriting.
After the letter was written, Ouyang Ming handed it to Qi Huan, who immediately turned around and went out to do things.
Zhou Ping looked at Ouyang Ming and sighed,
"Mr. Ouyang's wisdom is really too terrible to offend."
"No, my lord also thought of this just now, he just said it through my mouth. In terms of political strategy, my lord's talents are not inferior to mine."
After speaking, Ouyang Ming and Zhou Ping both looked at Nie Chen.
Old God Nie Chen leaned on the chair and said,
"That's a nice compliment. Say a few more words. I like to hear it."
…
Because it would take a month for Ning Wushuang to get here, Nie Chen and the others were not in a hurry. After transferring Yue Dongwen and Lin Guang back, they asked them to start training new soldiers and prepare for the war.
