But when people get married, the gate lord clan is self-exalted, the most important door, the door does not match, this is said to be unethical, "Lun", conditioning, order also, do not say that the scholar clan and the head of the Qiantou are married, that is, the same scholar clan, if the first-class scholar clan and the second-class scholar clan marry, this is called "incest", messing up the order. Although Tang Ai's family is a scholar and lives in Longlong, but his clan was originally quite famous in Kanto, and it can be regarded as a second-class and high-class scholar, Tang Ai's own early years of the township discussion products are three products, and they are also out-and-out superior, and the Qitong family is just an ordinary small people's door, his family has no reputation, and even the edge of the scholar family can not be touched, the marriage of the two of them is really inappropriate, the household is not right, if this matter comes out, I am afraid that the scholars of Longzhou, nine and a half out of ten will be extremely critical of this, but who is Tang Ai? He didn't care about any of these things. Who is Xin Er? The concept of his previous life still affects him, and he also doesn't care about Tang Ai marrying a "people's girl", and greatly appreciates the marriage between the two of them, thinking that it is a romantic event.

Yang Chao, Zhang Seng Cheng, Zhang Gui three, no Tang Ai's chic and uninhibited, no Xin Er's "tolerant mind", listening to Xin Er's eloquent story about Qitong, after knowing that Qitong is an ordinary private woman, the three of them looked at each other, especially Zhang Gui, although he was born in a poor family, but his character is loyal, has always been the most respectful and humble, and he is even more dumbfounded, I don't know what to say.

These are not mentioned for the time being, just say that when Xin Er was telling the story to the three of them, in Ye County, two thousand miles southeast of Guyin, Pu Mao's Ainu Blue Bird came to Meng Lang's tent at this time to pass the decree, saying that Pu Mao had risen and summoned him to see him.

Meng Lang also didn't sleep all night, so he called someone to fetch cold water, washed his face, his spirit was lifted, he rinsed his mouth, changed into new clothes that had just been smoked, and then went out of the tent, that is, he rushed to Pu Mao's tent.

- Ye County is the capital of the Wei State, there are many princes and chiefs of the Xianbei tribes in the city, among the residents of the city, there are many people of various ethnic groups such as Xianbei and Xiongnu, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are also mostly Xianbei people, for safety reasons, after the defeat of Ye County, Pu Mao did not enter the city to live, and still lived in the camp outside the city, Meng Langyin did not enter the city, and with him, he still lived in the camp temporarily.

Today, Pu Mao summoned Meng Lang as soon as he fell asleep, not that Pu Mao took the initiative to summon him, but that Meng Lang sent someone to Pu Mao's tent earlier this morning to ask for a meeting, and Pu Mao was still asleep at that time, so when he woke up, he heard that he was reporting from the waiter, so he immediately asked Meng Lang to come over.

Meng Lang arrived outside Pu Mao's tent, and there were already seven or eight civil and military officials with military and political affairs outside the tent waiting for Pu Mao to summon him in the open space. Most of these seven or eight officials were important ministers and important generals of the Qin State, basically all of them were Di and Qiang, and there was only one Tang person, and there was also a Xianbei person. This Xianbei man is in his forties, and Meng Lang knows it, but it is none other than Murong Zhan, who has not been in Puqin for a long time.

Murong Zhan is famous, several times the current nobles of the Wei State, only he is the most valued by Pu Mao and Meng Lang, in other words, he was the only one who was the most feared by Pu Mao and Meng Lang, after he was defeated and surrendered, Pu Mao was overjoyed and treated him very well, and set up a banquet to entertain him the night after he surrendered. On the night of the banquet, the civil and military gatherings of the Qin State below Meng Lang gave Murong Zhan a lot of face.

After three rounds of drinking, Murong Zhan bowed to thanksgiving, Pu Mao personally helped him up, held his hand, and said to him cordially and diligently: "Born virtuous, we will meet to achieve immortal achievements together, and this natural number is also." Lonely should be the same as Qing to set the world, sue Daizong, and then return to the Qing state, the world is sealed Youzhou, so that Qing from Qin does not lose the filial piety of the son, and return to me without the loyalty of the king, is it also beautiful? ”

Those who "return to their own state" are talking about returning Murong Zhan to Thorn City and Dragon City, which are the ancestral land of the Murong clan. "The world seals Youzhou", Thorn City and Dragon City all belong to Youzhou, this is a promise to Murong Zhan, and when the world is settled, he will give him his ancestral land.

Murong Zhan has no doubts about Pu Mao's promise, after all, Pu Mao has always been faithful and righteous since he succeeded to the position of the lord of Qin, but as the clan of the Murong clan, the uncle of Murong Yan, the current Wei lord, this surrender to Qin He was really forced to surrender to Qin, in order to save this useful body for the future, so Pu Mao's promise actually did not go to Murong Zhan's heart, but as a defeated general of an enemy country, he could get such a heavy respect and such a generous promise from Pu Mao, Murong Zhan couldn't help but be moved in his heart, He bowed down to thank him at that time and said, "The ministers of the defeated army are fortunate to be forgiven." The glory of this state is beyond the dare! ”

Pu Mao's words to Murong Zhan, carefully savoring them, are "Feng Chan Taishan" and "loyalty and filial piety", which are completely the set of the Tang people, only from the meaning of the words, where can you see that it is a Hu person's words? Murong Zhan was born in the royal family, and he studied the classics of the Tang people since he was a child, and his two answers, using Tang dialect, are also properly worded, which can be called polite and polite, but how can there be any rudeness of ordinary Hu people?

After some answers, Pu Mao admired Murong Zhan more and more.

So, just after the banquet, Pu Mao issued an edict to crown Murong Zhan as the champion general and worship the county marquis. Bintu is a county in Changli County, Youzhou, located in the south of Thorn City and southeast of Dragon City. Worshipping Murong Zhan as a guest and apprentice marquis is not only to realize the promise of "returning the state and sealing Youzhou" in advance, but also Pu Mao's declaration to Murong Yan who fled north to Jixian County, Youzhou, Youzhou will be the territory of Daqin sooner or later. However, Bintu County was not under the jurisdiction of the Qin State now, so the five hundred households in Huayin County were given to Murong Zhan as his food.

Murong Zhan's son Murong Mei and others surrendered with him, Pu Mao's age is not much different from Murong Mei, and he likes this handsome and energetic young man very much, and he also gives him a reward, and the reward is worth tens of thousands.

A group of ministers waiting outside Pumao's tent saw Meng Lang coming, whether they were sincere or not, they all stepped forward to greet them.

Meng Lang politely returned the salute one by one.

At the end, when he arrived at Murong Zhan's place, Meng Lang quietly inspected his expression, it was morning, the wind was quite cold, seeing that his cheeks were blown red by the wind, and the beard under his chin was also a little messy, knowing that he must have been waiting outside the tent for a short time, he fanned his chest and said calmly: "Why is the prince here?" Was it summoned by the king? Then ask the prince to enter the account with me. ”

Murong Zhan's champion general and county marquis titles are all three grades, and they can be ranked first among the important ministers of the Qin State outside the account, and they are at the same level as Meng Lang's current official position of "Shangshu Ling", but he is very respectful to Meng Lang, as if he is a subordinate to the chief, and he said: "If you return to the Linggong, the king did not summon the lower officials, but the lower officials have something, and if you want to play the king, please ask the king to order." ”

"What?"

Murong Zhan said respectfully: "The king recently ordered the lower officials to go to Murong Wutai to show that the people's hearts are back, and the general trend of the Mandate of Heaven in Qin is known to him, hoping that he can know the advance and retreat, and dedicate the city anyway, so that with the mercy of the king, he will not lose the reward of the lord." Murong Wutai's reply to the lower officials, just arrived last night, and the lower officials did not dare to delay, so they came today to ask to see the king. ”

"What does he say in his letter?"

"The lower official didn't open the letter, I don't know what he said."

Meng Lang looked at him and said in his heart: "The reply arrived, but he refused to open himself, he was really cautious." ”

But that Murong Wutai is not only the general of the clan of the enemy country, but also Murong Zhan's nephew, Murong Zhan's letter to Murong Wutai, although he obeyed Pu Mao's order, but now that he has descended to the Qin State, in the end he and Murong Wutai are already enemies and me, because in order to avoid suspicion, in order not to cause people with good intentions to take the opportunity to slander and slander, Murong Wutai was actually careful to this part, and refused to dismantle the reply.

Meng Lang thought so in his heart, his face did not move, and said: "In this case, you give me the letter, and I will present it to the king for you." ”

Murong Zhan took out a small letter box from his bosom and presented it to Meng Lang.

Meng Lang took it, and just as Qingque came out of the tent and summoned him inside, he nodded slightly at Murong Zhan and went into the tent.

The tent was warm as spring.

Pu Mao didn't wear a robe, he was dressed in a leisurely white crane, and he didn't tie his hair, he spread out on his shoulders, and stood in the tent with clogs, and when he saw Meng Lang come in, he stopped his bow and saluted, and said with a smile: "Master Meng, you asked to see you early in the morning, didn't you sleep last night?" ”

"King, this is Murong Wutai's reply to Murong Zhan."

"What's wrong with you?"

"The minister met Murong Zhan outside the tent, and when he heard that Murong Wutai's reply had been delivered, he took it in on his behalf."

Pu Mao took the letter box, glanced at it, and said, "I haven't opened it yet." ”

"The king, the minister has a word of advice."

Pu Mao opened the letter and said, "Master Meng, please speak." ”

"Dare to ask the king to retreat first."

There were not too many slaves and maids in the tent, only the green finch and a woman who was about to serve Pu Mao with her hair tied and braided. This woman is the sister of the green finch, and it was because of the green finch that Pu Mao was admitted to the harem. Pu Mao waved his hand and told Qingque and his sister to leave.

Waiting for the two Qingque to go out, Meng Lang said: "King, Murong Zhan obeyed the king's decree and surrendered Murong Wutai, and Wutai replied to the letter, but he didn't tear it down, what does this mean?" ”

Pu Mao knocked off the ink on the letterbox, put the letterbox on the case, and looked at the letter, while casually asking, "What does it mean?" ”

"This shows that Murong Zhan didn't really descend to my Great Qin!"

Pu Mao raised his head and said, "Master Meng, how can you say this!" ”

Meng Lang said: "The king, please think about it, whether Murong Wutai is willing to surrender or not is related to whether my royal division can take the whole Ji without a fight, that is to say, for my Great Qin and the king, this is a very important event, if this letter is in the hands of the minister, the minister will definitely open the letter as soon as possible to read it, so as to know, but Murong Zhan did not do this!" On the surface, it seems that he is cautious, but it is his caution that just shows that he has a ghost in his heart, which means that he is not sincere in descending to my Great Qin! ”

When Pu Mao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master Meng, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" After all, he is a general, and Murong Wutai is his subordinate, it is inevitable to be cautious, and it is understandable not to open the letter, how can it show that he has a ghost in his heart! ”

"King, he wants to have no ghosts in his heart, like a minister, frank and unrestrained, not to mention a reply from Murong Wutai, even if it is a letter from Murong Yan, he can dismantle it by himself! The more he doesn't open his letter, the more cautious and cautious he is, the more it proves that he is still trying to fake Wei! ”

"Master Meng, I'm afraid you're prejudiced against Murong Zhan."

"Great King, the minister has no prejudice against Murong Zhan. Those who are worried about the ministers, Murong Zhan, the relatives of the pseudo-Wei, Shixiong Dongxia, the benevolence and benevolence, the grace of the Shishu, and the salty between Yan and Zhao have the meaning of dedication. Looking at his talent and strategy, he has used soldiers in the past, has no way to use his power, has few defeats, and his son Murong Meiming Yi has good skills and is a masterpiece of people. This person is a dragon and a beast, not a tamable thing. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to get rid of it! ”

"No, no!"

"King!"

Pu Mao exuded a big man, his posture was uproaring, pacing in the tent, walked twice, sat down in front of the couch, his eyes were like stars, and he said angrily: "Today, Xianbei, Qiang and other Hu are tyrannical, and if you want to set the Northern Xia, it is advisable to practice benevolent government, and this Mengshi's teaching is lonely." If the lonely party wants to practice the teachings of Master Meng, to be heroic with righteousness, and to build immortal achievements, how can he kill those who surrender lightly? And when Murong Zhan first descended, he was lonely and sincere, and now he is harmed, and people will be lonely! ”

"Great King, if you don't obey the words of your ministers, I'm afraid that Murong Zhan will be the future of my Great Qin!"

"Lonely Murong Zhan, righteous man, lonely with benevolence and righteousness, where will there be trouble?" Seeing that Meng Lang was about to say more, Pu Mao smiled and said, "Master Meng, you asked Yao Tao to be lonely before, but you didn't listen to it, what is it like now?" Attacking Luo and taking Ye, Yao Tao has quite a lot of achievements, and he is already a lonely talent! Master Meng, I remember that when I was young, Master Meng tried to tell the story of Qin during the Warring States Period, so Qin had to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and the power of Shang Ying, Lü Buwei, Li Si and other heroes of the Six Kingdoms was also. ”

Meng Lang was helpless, so he had to say: "If the king refuses to kill Murong Zhan, then the minister still has a word, please beg the king to think about it!" ”

"What?"

"Don't let Murong Zhan lead the heavy army alone, and take the side as the front!"

Luoyang and Ye counties have been conquered one after another, Yuzhou, Zhongzhou, and Bingzhou have entered the Qin soil, Pu Mao is in a good mood these days, last night the Qingque sisters and brothers served him very well, he was in a good mood at this time, and did not want to argue with Meng Lang, so he smiled and said: "Okay, this is the case, listen to you!" Murong Zhan's topic came to an end, he lowered his head, continued to read Murong Wutai's reply, and after reading it for a while, he gave the letter to Meng Lang, asked him to read it too, and said, "As Master Meng expected, Murong Wutai refused to surrender to the orphan!" Changle fights this time, it seems that it must be fought. ”

Meng Lang read the reply letter, returned the letter to Pu Mao, and said: "The king, the minister asked to see him early in the morning, and it was for Changle to fight. ”

"Oh? Master Meng has a strategy to capture Changle? ”

"The minister thought about it all night last night, and foolishly thought that Changle was not yet the time to attack."

Pu Mao was surprised and said: "Master Meng, take advantage of the victory to go north and capture Changle to cover up the whole Ji, isn't this the next plan we have already set for the next step of using troops?" Why did Master Meng suddenly say that it was not time to attack Changle now? ”

"The minister received a secret report from Qin Guangzong yesterday."

"What's the secret?" Pu Maoden became a little nervous and said, "But what happened in Dingxi?" ”

"There is no change in Dingxi militarily at the moment, but Tang Ai has held a new policy in Longxi, Nan'an and other counties."

"What New Deal?"

"Moved to Haoqiang and Hu chieftains in Nan'an and other counties to the interior of Longxi; Moved to Tang, Hu and Nan'an counties in the southeast of Longlong. ”

Pu Mao said: "Relocating households is not a new deal, is it? Meng Shi wrote a letter the day before yesterday, didn't he also ask Lonely, and moved Tang and Hu in Hebei, Yuzhou and other places into Guanzhong to fill the population of Guanzhong? …… Master Meng, why don't you sit? Sit down and say. ”

Meng Lang thanked him, sat on the couch where Pu Mao started, and then replied: "It is true that the relocation of households is not a new thing, but there are several other new policies implemented by Tang Ai. The official and private slaves, tenants, and soldiers of Nan'an and other counties are one of them; Collecting the displaced people and distributing them to the fields and cattle is the second; Setting up the Lang General's Mansion and recruiting government soldiers is the third. ”

As the king of a country, Pu Mao's political sensitivity is quite strong, and he immediately smelled the danger from Tang Ai's three new policies, frowned, and said: "These political measures must have been ordered by Xin Youzhu Tang Ai!" ”

The minister thinks so, too. The king, these political measures are all to start with the people, if you ignore the reason, there is no need for three years or two years, the ministers are worried, I am afraid that in the near future, Dingxi will gain a firm foothold in Nan'an and other counties! Therefore, the ministers thought that the matter of recovering Nan'an, Longxi and other counties could not wait until after my Great Qin covered up the whole Ji! It is advisable to plan early and recover as soon as possible. ”

"But the plan to attack Changle has been decided, if it is temporarily changed?"

Meng Lang shook the feather fan, stroked his beard and said: "King, the minister learned about an incident two days ago, after Murong Quan was summoned to Jixian by Murong Yan, Murong Gan, the prime minister of the puppet Wei, wrote a letter to ask for severe punishment of Murong Quan, and Murong Wutai also wrote to accuse Murong Quan, saying that the loss of Ye County was all because of Murong Quan's poor command, but it was stopped by Murong Yan, Murong Wutai, and Murong Quan's mother-in-law, Liu Jibo and Feng Wenbo, who were entrusted to Murong Wei, also wrote to Murong Quan. Jixian County is now, the puppet Wei court is attacking each other, and it has become a mess.

"The minister asserted that half a year at the latest, or three months at the shortest, there will be chaos in the pseudo-Wei! The minister thought that instead of attacking Changle now, it was better to change the plan a little and attack again when it was chaotic! At that time, not only will it be easy to win Changle, but it will not be difficult to conquer Youzhou in one go! ”

Pu Mao was silent.

Meng Lang said: "King, Changle is now the last barrier in the south of Youzhou, if my royal division attacks it urgently, Murong Yan will definitely do his best to hold on to me in order to survive, and the pseudo-Wei Buqi of Changle and Youzhou is still tens of thousands, although Tuoba is under the king's order, but this person is cunning and greedy, if Murong Yan cuts the land with him, he may betray the king, aid the pseudo-Wei, and control 100,000 strings on behalf of the north, which should not be underestimated,...... In this case, the battle of Changle is bound to be a vicious battle.

"And if my Wang Shi does not rush to attack for the time being, and there is no external pressure, then if the minister foresees, there will be chaos inside, why not?"

Pu Mao said in a deep voice: "If it can really be as Meng Shi expected, Meng Shi is good at this strategy, let's change the plan, and slow down the use of troops, wait for some time, see if there will be chaos within the pseudo-Wei, but it doesn't hurt, but Meng Shi ......, the main force of our army is now in Hebei, if you return to the division of Guanzhong, eight or nine times out of ten, will be known in advance by Dingxi, Tang Ai, wise people, Xin You, good use of soldiers, once Xin You, Tang Ai prepared in advance, I am afraid that Nan'an and other counties are not easy to quickly overcome, in case this delays the overall situation of our army to take Hebei and attack the secluded? ”

Meng Lang was confident and said: "Qin Guangzong has widely distributed and carefully worked in Longxi, Nan'an and other counties, and the situation of the Dingxi garrison in Longxi and other places, he has roughly figured out that the Qiang chieftains and heroes in Nan'an and other counties are also willing to be the internal responders, and Qin Guangzong has sent assassins into Longxi to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Tang Ai.

"In this way, the capture of Nan'an and other counties, the minister thinks that as long as our army can be taken by surprise, in fact, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses, that is, the main force of our army in Hebei does not need to be mobilized too much, so that when Changle has the opportunity to take advantage of it, no matter what the battle situation in Nan'an is, it will not affect the overall situation of the king to take Ji and attack the secluded."

"The transfer of soldiers and horses, even if it is not the main force, it is difficult to hide all the traces, Master Meng, how can you take it by surprise?"

"The minister has already thought of a plan."
