Chapter 80: Defeat
Early in the morning of the second day, before General Zhou could invite Mr. Ding, more terrible news came. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
King Liang re-enabled Yang Changlie, in order to avenge the defeat, 20,000 light cavalry raided the Meng army camp outside Xiangyang City, Zhou Mi led the army to meet the battle, defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and returned to Xiangyang City with the remnants of the army!
Liu Xiangguo learned the news early in the morning, and the breakfast was postponed, and he gritted his white teeth and gurgled.
Since when has things been going wrong!
First, the covenant between Meng and Liang was destroyed, and it was rumored that Yang Changlie defected to Meng, and then there was civil strife in Hunan.
If Meng Liang wants to fight, he will fight, anyway, taking advantage of Yang Changlie's recall, the Meng army has Jin Zuofu, and there is a Zhou Mi who can fight, so he should always be able to take advantage.
Unexpectedly, that Zhou Mi, Liang Guo's embers were not extinguished, so he first grabbed the merit and destroyed himself, and cut off his arm! With such a narrow vision and selfishness, what kind of general's style!
He thought of the Zhou family again and married his daughter of the Zhou family, just because he liked the strength of the Zhou family in the army, but he didn't expect that he would drag himself back so much!
Well, now, if you want to form an alliance with Liang again, it's not so smooth! King Liang also gave up his daughter and kiss, and turned to Meng Li's knife, it seems that it is time to enable the next chess piece!
There is also Jin Zuofu, who quickly appeased him and asked him to go back into battle, if he loses Xiangyang, Nanyang will be in danger!
Thinking of this, he said to the outside of the house: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Dali Temple!" ”
In the prison behind Dali Temple, a man dressed in a scribe's seven-grade official uniform had just walked out, followed by an entourage with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
The two walked out of Dali Temple, turned two side alleys, no one in the alley, the two looked at each other, the civil official instead bowed respectfully to the entourage, the entourage turned over and got on the horse, the civil official got on the sedan chair, and the two parted ways with one east and one west.
The entourage-like man looked up, his face full of black hair, and only one pair of eyes were exposed, which was exceptionally bright.
He looks like this, even those who knew him well before, they have to think about it carefully, and then dare to admit it, not to mention that after so many years, there are few people on the streets of Beijing who are familiar with him. He is a dead man, and even if he thinks of anything from his face, he will not dare to recognize it.
Therefore, Meng Qianqiu held his head high and let the horse gallop freely.
The horse walked all the way west along the bank street of the Qingping River, and three people came over, a tall and thin old man and a man and a woman, two young people, who passed by Meng Qianqiu's jujube red horse.
The old man was stunned, turned around like lightning, and said in a low voice, "You go to the inn and wait for me first!" After speaking, he walked away with the jujube red horse.
Pedestrians on the street only felt that this person was walking fast, and hurriedly passed by his side, but they did not notice that this person was stepping on strange steps, secretly performing light skills, and was able not to be left behind by the fast horse.
Meng Qianqiu was happy in her heart, and she didn't notice that someone was following her.
The horse came to a riverside pier and stopped. Meng Qianqiu turned over and dismounted, and entered a high-headed gate courtyard with the inscription "Peach Blossom Dock" next to the riverbank.
The courtyard is a ferry, it is the tributary of the Qingping River, Luoxia River, the upper stream of this stream is a stream, the middle end is connected with several large ponds, and the lower stream is wide and more like a river.
The name of Luoxia is also because there is a big pond in the middle, the water is quiet and quiet, the reeds are thick, the willows are still in the middle, the distant mountains are facing the west, the sunset is picturesque, it is beautiful, so it is called Luoxia Lake. This stream, also known as Luoxia Creek.
Meng Qianqiu got on a small boat at the ferry, and the boat carried him again in the direction of Luoxia Lake. On the edge of the lake, the willows are shady, the lake shore is a large peach forest, and on the shore, a long row of black and shiny open boats are parked on the water, swaying and swaying.
This is the "Peach Blossom Dock". It is said that this method draws on the flower boats in the south of the Yangtze River, but it becomes a small boat, a boat and a table, which not only gets the water interest, enjoys the food, but also separates itself and hides the privacy.
Therefore, it is especially liked by the nobles in Beijing, especially in the spring to see the peach blossoms in autumn and enjoy the sunset, a boat is hard to find, this is summer, and it is noon, but the people are sparsely populated.
Meng Qianqiu got on one of the small boats, lifted the curtain of the cabin, and stepped into the cabin.
He was followed by another passenger boat, and a figure on board stepped into another small boat behind him.
Only one woman sat alone in the cabin, with her back to the door.
Meng Qianqiu said with a smile: "Why didn't you look at the scenery outside the cabin, this is a scene in Beijing." Although it is not a spring day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, you can't see the pink clouds and the sea, and the blue waves are overwhelming. But the lotus leaves on the lake, the willows on the shore are shady, it is also a grand scene, you have not been to the north, you must have never seen such a scenery, and the strange mountains and rivers in the southwest, and it is different. ”
Ah Xiu didn't answer, and tilted his head slightly to the side: "Who is the person who came with you?" ”
Meng Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the hatch behind him: "It seems to be an old man, I don't know him." You didn't come with me, did you? ”
He sat down, poured himself a glass of apricot wine, looked at Ah Xiu with a smile and said, "Why do you have eyes behind you, you know better than me that there are people behind you." How good are you? I'll try. ”
While speaking, he reached over and wanted to grab Ah Xiu's face.
Ah Xiu was not annoyed or angry, his hands were raised lightly, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had already made more than a dozen moves on the table.
Meng Qianqiu's hands are fast, and Ah Xiu is faster than him, and every time he just blocks in front of his hands, making him unable to move forward an inch.
Finally giving up, his eyes widened: "You won!" How can the yin and yang qi be so powerful, there was no trace of it before, and in the blink of an eye, he became a master of the rivers and lakes! Brother Gu can't beat you? ”
Ah Xiu's faceless face was always an expression, and his tone was not shocked, and he said first: "That person has been paying attention to the movements on our side, but there seems to be no malicious intent, you say, an old man?" ”
Meng Qianqiu nodded: "Then let's go a little farther away?" ”
Ah Xiu's head.
Meng Qianqiu said hello outside the cabin.
The boatman propped up the bamboo pole, and the boat swayed and swung out along the lotus leaves.
Ah Xiu looked at Meng Qianqiu: "Let's talk about it now, how is Jin Zuofu there?" ”
The corners of Meng Qianqiu's mouth crooked, revealing a wicked smile: "Immortal Gu guess what?" ”
Ah Xiu said quietly: "It's half." ”
Meng Qianqiu clapped his hands in fear: "It is worthy of being a fairy girl!" However, if I came forward in person, how could it not be? ”
He drank another glass of apricot wine, smacked his lips and said: "He has received my kindness before, and he knows me as a person, and he is loyal to Meng, although he is a little hesitant when he sees me, he will not sell me." I robbed Liu Xiang of a favor and told him that he would be reinstated, and I would follow him into battle to kill the enemy, and let him see if I was the kind of person who colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the country. ”
"Of course he was very moved, the dignified prince, he actually wanted to go to his command to be a small soldier."
"I told him about Prince Zhong again, and said that it was a traitor's ploy that all the royal family was destroyed. But why didn't you just tell him that it was Liu Xiang's Dameng trouble? ”
Ah Xiu said indifferently: "In his opinion, Liu Xiang is the hero who killed the demon girl and saved the country from danger. Fortunately, this person is not something that can be bought by grace, and he is very principled. Whether it's for you or for Liu Xiang, I believe he is just doing his best, for him, killing the enemy and protecting the country is to do his best. ”
"So how can we get him to believe in us completely?"
"People, each to his own use, now, we don't need him to trust us completely, we just need him to fight against Yang Changyeol. Tomorrow, it's your turn to meet Prince Chung. ”
Meng Qianqiu spread his hands: "If he wants to kill me, you have to protect it." ”
