Two days later, in the Han army camp west of Yulin, the atmosphere seemed calm but tense.

In the army tent, Deng Mu was leisurely sipping wine, while Guo Jia and Pang Tong were accompanying him as his staff.

Deng Mu noticed that Guo Jia seemed to be worried, so he asked with a smile:

"You look frowned, as if you have some concerns. There is no need to hide anything between you and me, just speak up if you have any ideas."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and responded:

"The Prime Minister is very perceptive, and Jia is indeed confused.

Will the letter pretending to be Chen Ba's handwriting really work?"

Deng Mu said lightly:

"It's just that the handwriting is similar. I have no shortage of such talents under my command.

You don't need to worry too much."

But Guo Jia did not Completely relieved: "The similarity of handwriting is certainly the key, but what worries me more is that the prime minister mentioned in the letter that Ji Yu intends to instigate his followers in the pseudo-Chen to pretend to be Wuxi people and launch a rebellion.

If this matter depends only on our spies in the pseudo-Chen, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

Deng Mu raised an unfathomable sneer at the corner of his mouth:

"15 Fengxiao, your worries are not unreasonable.

But please rest assured, I have sent people to the pseudo-Chen and successfully persuaded one person to surrender. He will lend us a hand."

"Oh? Who has such ability?" Guo Jia's curiosity was aroused.

Deng Mu took a sip of wine leisurely and uttered two words slowly:

"Wu Xun."

"Wu Xun?" A trace of surprise flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, "Could the prime minister be referring to the young and promising head of the pseudo-Chen Wu family?"

"That's the man." Deng Mu nodded in affirmation, "It seems that Fengxiao also knows something about Wu Xun."

Guo Jia recalled the information about Wu Xun and suddenly realized:

"When Chen Ba attacked Lu County, he killed Wu Kang, the governor of Lujiang County, and Wu Kang was Wu Xun's uncle.

It seems that the prime minister took advantage of the hatred between the Wu family and the Chen family and successfully persuaded Wu Xun to surrender."

Deng Mu nodded again to confirm.

However, Guo Jia still had doubts:

"This is indeed a good plan.

But the Wu family is a big family of the Pseudo-Chen, and the prime minister's policy in the north is quite harsh on the nobles.

Wouldn't Wu Xun have concerns about this?"

A sharp light flashed in Deng Mu's eyes: "I gave him two choices. Either after I destroy the Pseudo-Chen, his Wu family will be suppressed but survive.

Or, he will face the disaster of extinction."

He said it lightly, as if deciding the fate of a family is just a piece of cake.

Guo Jia suddenly realized it at this moment.

Deng Mu was not offering Wu Xun a choice, but issuing an ultimatum.

If Wu Xun was a smart man, he should be able to see the situation clearly.

Deng Mu's invincibility and determination to conquer the Pseudo-Chen were obvious.

Whether this southern expedition is successful or not, the fake Chen will be taken down next time.

By then, the fate of the Wu family will be completely in the hands of Deng Mu.

Therefore, for Wu Xun, it is undoubtedly a wise move to surrender to Deng Mu and lend a helping hand.

This will not only make meritorious contributions, but also ensure that the Wu family has a place in the future pseudo-Chen regime.

On the contrary, if he chooses not to surrender, then what awaits the Wu family will be a catastrophe. This is Deng Mu's tyranny and determination.

Knowing the reason, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh softly:

"The prime minister threatened to exterminate the family, now it depends on whether Wu Xun knows how to judge the situation."

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Chu stepped into the big tent with a smile on his face. He bowed to Deng Mu and reported the good news:

"Prime Minister, good news, it's really great news!"

Deng Mu smiled slightly, gestured to Guo Jia, and waved his hand gently, indicating Xu Chu to continue.

Xu Chu continued, "According to the news sent back by our spies in the Pseudo-Chen, the Wuxi people east of Wujun have launched a rebellion.

Wu Xun failed to suppress the rebellion, and the rebels have occupied three counties in succession, shocking the entire Pseudo-Chen."

Everything really developed as Deng Mu expected.

Deng Mu laughed and drank a glass of wine happily, then looked at Guo Jia and said:

"Fengxiao, it seems that Wu Xun is still very aware of the current situation."

Guo Jia also showed a happy expression and said with emotion: "The Prime Minister's ability to recognize people is indeed unmatched.

Then Chen Ba probably never dreamed that the so-called Wuxi people's rebellion was actually planned by Wu Xun, not by Ji Yu's followers.

This time, Ji Yu is probably in danger."

A cold and sarcastic sneer flashed in Deng Mu's eyes.

Just then, Chen Dao also rushed into the big tent and shouted:

"Prime Minister, Yulin has sent a message that Chen Ba has killed Ji Yu!"

Things turned out as expected!

Deng Mu let out a long breath and said with a sigh:

"It's really not easy. After so much thought and means, I finally got rid of this tricky Ji Yu.

It's really not easy."

He felt extremely relieved, so he drank several glasses of wine in succession. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Guo Jia could not hold back his joy, and stood up and said:

"Since the plan of alienation has been successfully implemented and Ji Yu has been executed, what is the Prime Minister waiting for?

Why not immediately launch a surprise attack on Yulin and make Chen Ba pay the heaviest price for his stupid decision!"

Hearing this, Deng Mu's murderous intent instantly boiled up, and he immediately ordered all the generals to gather in the big tent.

The order was quickly passed down, and in less than half an hour, Zhuge Dan, Taishi Ci, Ju Yi and other generals rushed to the big tent.

When they saw Deng Mu's murderous look, they felt that this sudden attack was aThe summons was unusual, and most likely something important was about to happen.

Deng Mu looked around at the generals gathered in the big tent, then took a deep breath and ordered loudly:

"Zhuge Dan listen to the order!".
