Chapter 54: Before the War

After listening to what Wang Fei said, Zhang Tang nodded at Meng Tian and agreed with Meng Tian's opinion. He sat down, took a big sip of wine, and said to Meng Tian and Wang Fei: "If it is really as Brother Wang said, it seems that the people of Wei have really been plotting for a long time about this place of Yiqu, but Wei State is not close to Yiqu, although it is not far away, but why does Wei State take a fancy to this place of Yiqu? Don't you think it is very strange?"

Meng Tian also sat down, and at the same time beckoned Wang Fei to come and sit, and poured Wang Fei a bowl of wine, Wang Fei hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him. Meng Tian took a sip of his own wine and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to guess the intentions of the Wei people, when I was in Xianyang, I heard that the old general Wang Jian proposed to Wang Shang to build a horse farm in the Yiqu area, specifically to provide excellent war horses for my Great Qin soldiers. If it does, we will be able to add thousands of horses to our army every year. If the strength of our Qin army is gradually becoming stronger, do you think that Wei is so close to us, how can he not be afraid of our Qin State. ”

After Meng Tian said this, Zhang Tang and Wang Fei suddenly realized that Yiqu was indeed a strategic place in the future, and the Wei people must have heard the news through their own spies in Qin, and then sent assassin killers to Yiqu to assassinate the ministers of Qin, so that the Yiqu people hated the Qin people, so that Qin's idea of buying a horse farm in Yiqu came to an end.

Wang Fei looked at the two of them and said: "So what should I do now that things have come to this point? If we can't find the real killer out, I'm afraid that when the general recovers, he will definitely attack the Yiqu people, so it seems that only the Yiqu people dislike the most." ”

Meng Tian nodded and said, "That's true, but we now know who the murderer is. Also, I've already contacted a leader who is more authoritative among the Yiqu people, so as long as we find the murderers, and then let these Yiqu people be forced to leave their hometown because of the assassination back then, and now let them return to their homes, I think they will be willing to help us say something good about Yiqu. ”

Zhang Tang and Wang Fei asked Meng Tian at the same time: "The young general already knows who the murderer is?" Wang Fei said okay, but Zhang Tang followed Meng Tian from the patrol camp to come here, Meng Tian only told him on the road about the dangers and various countermeasures that he might encounter in Yiqu, and then told himself that the enemy was some Wei killers, but he didn't tell himself that he already knew the murderer of Ying Guang.

Meng Tian continued to take a sip of wine, shook his head, and said that he didn't like this kind of liquor on the grassland very much, and then said: "Since Brother Wang is also my own person, then I will tell you two the real purpose of coming to Yiqu to fight this time, first of all, we don't know how many assassins from the Wei people there are now, and then we don't know how many Qin troops these assassins have controlled here in Yiqu, which is why I asked Brother Zhang Tang to lead troops to Yiqu." Brother Wang, listen to me first. Meng Tian stopped Wang Fei, who was about to speak, and continued, "Uncle Wang Yingguang was assassinated, I don't know the true situation of Yingguang yet, but I guess that he should be dead, because what I saw a few days ago was not the real Yingguang, but the Wei assassin pretending. Judging from this situation, in the Qin army in Yiqu, many of the commanders of the leading troops should have been secretly killed by these killers, and then disguised themselves, which is also the reason why Brother Zhang and I came to you Brother Wang, I want you to find out for us how many of the Qin army in Yiqu are our people, and then we will attack these killers. ”

Zhang Tang and Wang Fei glanced at each other, and saw the seriousness of the matter from each other's eyes, and at the same time appreciated Meng Tian's mind, they couldn't imagine that this young general in front of him could think about so much and think about things so thoroughly.

Wang Fei stood up, picked up his wine bowl on the table, drank the wine in one gulp, and said to Meng Tian and Zhang Tang: "Since this is the case, then the last general will go forward, call some familiar friends in the local army, and then report the military situation to the major general." ”

Meng Tian and Zhang Tang also stood up, and Meng Tian said, "Okay, so Brother Zhang and I are here waiting for Brother Wang's good news." ”

Wang Fei saluted Meng Tian with a fist, then nodded at Zhang Tang, beckoned a few of his subordinates who came with him, went out of the restaurant, and went back to the Qin army camp not far from here.

After Wang Fei left, Meng Tian asked Zhang Tang, "Brother Zhang, this brother of yours is an impatient. ”

Zhang Tang hurriedly replied sideways: "Young General, Brother Wang is such a temper, but the villain is willing to guarantee with his life, Wang Fei will not betray our Great Qin, let alone live up to the young general, please rest assured." ”

Meng Tian nodded, did not speak, then sat down, took out the golden knife from his arms and cut the roast meat on the table piece by piece.

The sky gradually darkened, the Yiqu capital gradually quieted down, many shops with bad business had begun to close, and the two of them were left in the restaurant where Meng Tian and Zhang Tang were still eating. The restaurant owner saw that the generals of the Qin army who came in in the afternoon were very respectful to the two of them, so he didn't urge the two. Seeing the dilemma of the restaurant owner, Meng Tian smiled and said a few words to the boss that it was not in the way, and then asked the boss if there was a room for people to stay in the store, the boss hurriedly nodded and said yes, and then Meng Tian asked the boss to prepare two rooms for himself and Zhang Tang, so that he could go to the room and wait for Wang Fei's news.

As the evening approached, Meng Tian was still under water, meditating in the room, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the restaurant outside, and the knocking did not last long before he heard the sound of the door being opened, but then the door was closed again. A moment later, Meng Tian heard footsteps outside his door, and then stopped when he reached his door. So Meng Tian pulled out the golden knife he was carrying, ready to deal with the comer.

The person outside the door knocked on the door and whispered: "Major General, it's me, the villain has come to report the military situation to the Major General." ”

Hearing that it was Wang Fei's voice, Meng Tian didn't dare to be careless, walked to the door with a knife in his hand, opened the door, and saw that it was indeed Wang Fei standing at the door, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Immediately afterwards, the door of the room next to Zhang Tang's room also opened, Zhang Tang walked out of the house, saw that it was Wang Fei who came, and also came out of his room to Meng Tian's room together.

Meng Tian let the two of them enter the room, and as soon as they sat down, before Meng Tian and Zhang Tang could ask, Wang Fei took the lead and said: "Young General, you guessed right, after I went back, I found some of my colleagues who had a good relationship in the army, and after carefully confirming their identities, I told them what the Major General suspected." ”

Meng Tian asked, "What did they say, did they find anything unusual?"

Wang Fei nodded and said, " Since the news of the assassination of General Win came out, the atmosphere in the army has been strange, and then a few adjutant generals called over, but they came back very late, and after coming back, it was as if they had changed as if they were a different person, these people rarely appeared in front of us middle-level officers very often, and whatever they said was informed by their personal soldiers, but their personal soldiers seemed to have changed, but although we doubted it, the deputy general we saw was still the same as before, so we never doubted it again, just as the pressure after the assassination of the general was a little great。 ”

Zhang Tang asked, "That means that only a few lieutenants in the Qin army of Yiqu have been replaced by assassin killers of the Wei State, and the others have not changed." ”

Wang Fei nodded, "I think it should be so, and besides, it's only ten days since the general was given today, even if these killer assassins want to control all of us, I'm afraid they don't have the time and guts." ”

After hearing this, Meng Tian nodded with a smile, "Indeed, our Qin army has only understood one truth from the first day of enlistment, swearing to be loyal to Great Qin, this is the soul of our Great Qin army, so I dare to say that as long as they dare to make a move, they will be exposed, and then their conspiracy will naturally be revealed, and all the efforts they have made before will be wasted." ”

Zhang Tang and Wang Fei were deeply touched, from the first day they entered the Great Qin army, they had only one belief in their hearts, that is, they swore loyalty to Great Qin, and this belief has not changed whether it is an ordinary Qin soldier or Wang Jian and Meng Wei as generals.

Meng Tian continued: "Brother Wang, I've worked hard for you, please go again, I'll tell you what to do next, and when we start attacking these Wei people, your strength will be our greatest reliance." ”

Wang Fei stood up and clenched his fists and said: "Please give the instructions of the young general, the last general will have an order, and he will not give up." ”

Meng Tian told Zhang Tang and Wang Fei the plan in his heart, and then told Wang Fei not to act rashly when he went back, gather people, and wait for his signal. After waiting for Wang Fei to leave, Zhang Tang also went back to his room, went back to rest, and went out of the city tomorrow morning to bring his troops over, and according to Meng Tian's plan, he began to attack these Wei killers who dared to make a move against his own country.

After Zhang Tang and Wang Fei left, Meng Tian walked to the window and looked at the night sky on the grassland, and the bright moon in the night sky seemed to be bigger than in Xianyang City. Meng Tian carefully hammered the plan again in his heart, hoping that he would not make a mistake, this was the first time he had really commanded so many people to fight since he led the army, although the enemy was only a small number of assassins, but Meng Tian still did not dare to take it lightly, because his grandfather and father had told themselves that no matter how much enemy he treated on the battlefield, underestimating the enemy was the first taboo for the general, so for tomorrow's battle, Meng Tian was full of expectations and confidence in victory.
