Chapter 338: Borrowing a knife to kill a famous general
Dozens of miles away from the north gate of Los Angeles, the cavalry troops on the bank of the Luo River set up their positions here. This cavalry of more than 30,000 people has bright armor and a strong momentum. From afar, you can feel the iron-blooded aura they exude.
In fact, this is a veritable iron-blooded elite. They came from far northwest. Everyone has experienced a hundred battles, and one is ten. During the long war with the barbarians, the officers and men of this army accumulated a wealth of combat experience from top to bottom. It is not an exaggeration to say that just these 30,000 horses are enough to be worth 100,000 troops.
100,000 soldiers, dominate the world! There is no doubt that this is what every famous player wants to achieve. As the leader of the Mengshi clan of the Great Qin clan, Meng Jun, the ambition in his heart is far more than that. When the main force of the Northwest Barbarians who threatened Qin had been almost wiped out by him, the military power in the hands of their Montessori brothers had already given them the ability to build more brilliant feats.
In the last three to five years, the status of the Montessori family has been rapidly improved. This is certainly the result of their own efforts. In the case of several other generals being frustrated one after another, the Montessori brothers stood out and were particularly dazzling. In addition, the main reason is, of course, because of the queen and prince's faction to win over and rely on them.
For such an opportunity, how could the Montessori brothers, who have great ambitions and pride, not firmly grasp it? Although they are not often in Feng'an City, they have a very clear understanding of the various situations in the royal city. King Qin is already old! The hope for the future lies in the prince.
The Mengshi family and the queen's family have always had a close relationship, and because of this, Prince Nie Wushuang has often been in and out of the Meng's family since he was a teenager, and he has not shied away from each other. And when Nie Wushuang is now officially established in his position, it is conceivable that the weight of the Montessori brothers in his mind is naturally not the same as that of others.
And the transfer of the Mengjia army from the northwest to participate in the battle of Zhongzhou was facilitated by His Royal Highness the prince. The reason for this does not need to be elaborated, and Meng Jun knows it better than anyone else. Moreover, the secrets in the palace of Feng'an City, he obviously knows more than outsiders.
The night was deep and the moon was in the sky. Meng Jun stood on a flat ground at the height of the camp's camp, looking at the direction of Los Angeles in the distance, his face was as calm as water, and no one could guess what he was thinking. Unruly soldiers gathered around him, waiting for him to assign tomorrow's combat mission. From the vast northwest, to this Central Plains, they all feel a little unaccustomed. The ground here is too soft to carry the iron hooves of a war horse. The wind here is too calm, and there is no smoke of hunting. Perhaps, these regrets can only be made up for by waiting for the blood on the battlefield tomorrow.
"General, man...... We've got it! What needs to be done, please show the general!"
A small group of men in black tights came through the night. The leader respectfully reported a few words to Meng Jun. Several people in this team were wounded, and they were not lightly wounded. But no one frowned. From this alone, it can be seen that they are all highly skilled, and their identities are by no means simple.
"Bring him here! I'm going to ask in person. ”
Meng Jun coldly ordered. His henchmen said yes, and soon brought a sturdy man with a whole body bound and threw him on the ground. The man struggled from the ground, glaring angrily, his face covered in blood and anger.
"General Meng! Why did you send men to attack me secretly...... What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Xiao Qi, who couldn't find a chance to escape along the way, still can't understand why he was suddenly attacked outside the camp. At first, he thought it was someone sent from Los Angeles. However, now when he saw Meng Jun standing with his hands in his hands, his heart was taken aback, and an extremely uneasy feeling began to spread in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to do anything to you, and I won't kill people casually. The reason why they invited you here is just a few words to ask you. ”
"Please? Hehe...... General Meng is really joking! Is there anyone who asks for such questions? If the general knew about ....... ”
"What I'm asking about is about the general! Say, what did he do tonight? ”
There was not the slightest smile on Meng Jun's face. There was a sharp light in his eyes, staring straight at the stubborn man. This person is Shang Yunbai's henchman, and he has already been reported by his subordinates. And what Shang Yunbai did made him suspicious loudly, it was a matter of the overall situation, for the sake of prudence, even if he offended Shang Yunbai because of this, he had to find out!
"At the moment of the war, the general naturally presummons military affairs in the battalion and arranges operations...... Why did General Meng bother asking? ”
"You're lying! At this moment, Shang Yunbai was not in the camp at all. Do you dare not tell the truth in front of me? Hmph!"
Meng Jun stepped forward and snorted coldly. His knife was at hand. This knife has already killed thousands of people, and he doesn't care if there is one more. Even if it's Shang Yunbai's henchman, so what?
Xiao Qi's heart began to pound. He was not afraid of his own life or death, but was worried that this incident would cause unpredictable danger to Shang Yunbai. Knowing this, everyone should really try their best to dissuade him from meeting with King Zhao privately. Looking at the situation in front of him, Meng Jun, who got the news, must have doubts. Although the general is above board and has a clear conscience. But his private meeting with King Zhao before the Great War seemed to be an extremely abnormal thing in the eyes of outsiders.
"The general naturally has his own considerations! General Meng, the King of Qin ordered you and the Great General to lead their respective troops and accept his dispatch in the army. What right do you have to be suspicious of him? ”
"Now I just need you to answer me, did Shang Yunbai send you to Los Angeles earlier?"
Meng Jun waved his hand and repelled his subordinates who wanted to rush over and beat people. He continued to ask Xiao Qi in a cold tone. The other party was silent for a while, raised his head again, and replied calmly with a very calm expression on his face.
"Yes!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Meng Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a hint of fierceness. From a long time ago, he was very unconvinced by Shang Yunbai's title of the first general in his heart. In his opinion, those battlefield victories that the other party has achieved, if he has the same opportunity, he can also get great feats, and he may do better than the other party.
"What did he send you for?" "Visit the life and death of King Zhao, and give good medicine."
Xiao Qi told the truth. He knew very well in his heart that since Meng Jun was able to use his secret power to arrest him here. So presumably he already knows the ins and outs of this matter. It is a righteous and bright thing, and there is no need to hide anything at all.
It's just, it's a pity. He thought it was a righteous and bright thing, but everyone in the Meng family army would not think so. Hearing him answer like this, there was an uproar around. Someone had already said coldly with hostility.
"The King of Qin has an order, and the trip to Zhongzhou will kill King Zhao Chu Jiangmian! How...... The general is still afraid that he will die? He even sent someone to deliver the medicine himself! This is a ridiculous joke! ”
Xiao Qi stiffened his body hard, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. No matter where it is, if anyone dares to insult the general between words, then all the soldiers under their command will never allow it!
"What the general thinks and thinks, how can you and other rats know? King Zhao's life and death should naturally be decided by him!"
Seeing him so arrogant, Meng Jun was not angry. He looked at his subordinates not to interject. Then, go ahead and ask.
"I heard that the general has gone to see King Zhao, do you know what the purpose of his meeting with him is?"
There is no doubt that this is what Meng Jun is most concerned about. The cautious habits he had cultivated over the years of fighting reminded him that he should never be careless at any time. The success or failure of a war is often hidden in some inconspicuous little things. What's more, he already vaguely felt that even if Shang Yunbai was not selfish, this matter could not be regarded as an excellent opportunity. As long as he has the handle in his hands, when the war is over, he will naturally use it in front of King Qin.
"The general is here for no purpose. Just to thank King Zhao for the spirits...... That's all!"
Xiao Qi stiffened his neck and replied loudly. There was silence for a moment, and then before anyone else could laugh. Meng Jun finally couldn't help it, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha! Thank you to King Zhao for his spirits? …… For such a trivial matter, the general who commanded an army of 100,000 was willing to take a risk and go to the meeting lightly! Do you believe this reason? ”
Everyone shook their heads together. This kind of nonsense, whoever believes is a fool!
"General Meng! What is your intention to openly question the general in the army? ”
Xiao Qi's face was full of anger. No matter how these people treat him, he can grit his teeth and persevere. But if someone starts to doubt Shang Yunbai, this is unbearable no matter what.
"You don't have to be tough here! I didn't say what would happen to him Shang Yunbai. Moreover, I will not kill you, but I will not let you go back again. If the Great General will really obey King Qin's orders, then tonight is a good opportunity. He should cut off King Zhao's head and bring it back to the camp! If he returned empty-handed, it would be a bit strange...... Hmph!"
Meng Jun said as he waved his hand. The subordinates took Xiao Qi down again and guarded him closely. There is no need to ask any more questions, everything that should be known is known, and it is not unexpected by him.
"Shang Yunbai! I didn't expect you to dare to take the lead at both ends...... Hum! I'll see how you end up in the future!"
