13. Owe me a big gift

When Hongyue came to Huang Qu's camp with the Qi King Talisman to take over the military power, the crowd in Huang Qu's big tent was excited.

Hongyue with a holding the edict of the king of Qi, straight to Huang Qu Shuai's tent, the chamberlain is an old man who has followed the king of Qi for many years, won the trust of the king of Qi, opened the edict, read out loud: "By the order of the king," Huang Qu led a group of generals to kneel on the ground, the chamberlain continued to read "The old general Huang is old, the affairs in the army are complicated, hard work, and because the Liang Qi war is imminent, the king is afraid that the old general will not be able to catch up, and then the fighter will be delayed, from now on, 150,000 border troops should be in military affairs, and the deputy marshal of Hongyue will decide. ”

Huang Qu's face was pale, trembling all over, and he couldn't speak for a long time. The old chamberlain closed the edict and said in a low voice, "General, take the order?" Huang Qu just didn't move, lowered his head, couldn't see his expression clearly, the old waiter shouted twice, and seeing that Huang Qu was still indifferent, he bent down and reached out to help. Huang Qu had to get up, but he felt that the old chamberlain had increased his strength, and his arm was tightly grasped, Huang Qu glanced at the other party, and the old chamberlain's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "Old general, get up quickly." The king has this arrangement, and he has the reason of the king. ”

Huang Qu stood up, and before he could speak, the old chamberlain said again: "Old general, where is my distant nephew who entrusted you with care a few years ago?" ”

Huang Qu looked displeased, "Hmph, my border army of Qi State, naturally they perform their duties, what ability, what to do, the nephew of the inner servant, is now watching the stable." ”

The old chamberlain was not angry, "It's okay, my nephew is not promising, and it is good to raise horses, at least it is safe." ”

Seeing that Huang Qu didn't speak, the old chamberlain continued, "Next, General Hongyue wants to arrange military affairs, the old slave retires, and the old general is also bothered to send someone to take the old slave to see my nephew." ”

Huang Qu asked a Huang disciple to send the old chamberlain to see his nephew, and then turned around and looked at Hongyue without speaking.

Many border army generals had gloomy faces, and Wang Ming, the main general of the northern border army, looked at Hongyue and said, "General Hongyue, the king's move is too unbelievable, the last general will say something that should not be said, this king will not be deceived or someone will fake the king's edict?" ”

Hongyue's expression remained unchanged, "General Wang, this rebellious remark, it will scare you to death when you say it, do you doubt the king's decision?" Still suspicious of Ben Shuai? ”

Wang Ming is still unyielding, "The last general naturally does not dare to question the king's decision, but the lives of the 150,000 border soldiers in this pass can be handed over to you casually?" Without the king's personal order, it will be difficult for the general to obey his fate."

"Oh?" Hongyue said, "General Wang Ming thinks that this 150,000 border troops should be handed over to whom?" ,”

"Of course, it's General Huang Qu" Wang Ming blurted out, "General Huang's prestige in the army is incomparable, and the border layout over the years has made the surrounding neighbors have no gaps, and it has brought out 200,000 heroes for the Qi State" Wang Ming sneered, "Aren't these better than a pitiful man who never knows what a soldier is?" ”

Huang Qu's face suddenly changed: "Wang Ming, stop talking."

Here, Hongyue laughed and said to Huang Qu: "Okay, let's talk about it, these 200,000 border troops are not from the Qi State, are they from your Huang family?" Don't talk about me, the king can't command, can he? After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Ming and the other generals, "You? Do you want to disobey the king's command and commit rebellion? Finally, he stared at Wang Ming, "You keep saying that you want the king to come in person, what?" Is it to hold the king hostage? Well? ”

Huang Qu closed his eyes, Wang Ming's expression instantly turned pale, and he was at a loss for a while.

Huang Qu sighed and said, "Marshal Hongyue is serious, we are all rough people in the army, and we lack thought in our actions and words" Huang Qu bent down and arched his hand, but no matter what, our loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and the Qi army has no second heart for the king, please Marshal Hongyue to be clear." ”

Hongyue's face became kind, and she gently helped Huang Qu up, "What General Huang said, I will pass it on to the king as it is, Daqi can have today's stability, General Huang is indispensable, and the commander will definitely give the king, please rest assured." ”

Huang Qu's expression was gloomy, and he bowed his hand slightly.

Hongyue sat in the handsome position, "Everyone, the Liang army has been trapped under the city of Qizhou, the army is resting today and will start tomorrow!" Then he continued, "General Huang Lao stayed behind to hand over military affairs with the commander, and everyone else, go back." ”

Everyone retreated wordlessly, Huang Qu looked puzzled, hesitated slightly, and did not make a sound.

That night, the guards at the gate of the tent didn't know what the two people in the tent said, only to see Hongyue send Huang Qu outside the tent, and said to Huang Qu, "The general will go back and find out when you ask." And Huang Qu's face was pale, and he didn't answer, and his resolute and upright body in the past seemed to be rickety.

Huang Qu waved away the guards who had tried to come up to ask him, and then walked towards the newly vacated tent for him. After entering the tent door, it was no surprise that there was a general waiting for him, who was the son of the Huang family who took the old chamberlain to see his nephew. Huang Qu knew in his heart that the old chamberlain didn't have any nephews at all, and he must have something to tell him.

The Huang Colonel looked nervous, and only after seeing Huang Qu did he calm down.

Huang Qu is strict in governing the army, and the family is even more strict, and the Huang family law is strict, and it is known to the whole world that men must join the army when they are fifteen years old. Therefore, the children of the Huang family are all in awe of him, but today, this disciple, facing Huang Qu, who is usually like a god, is indescribably stable in his heart.

He bowed and said, "General, the last general has something to tell you,,,"

At the same time, in Wang Ming's account, there was also a guest, an old man.

Wang Ming came out of the tent that day, and couldn't help but be very afraid, if there was no help from General Huang, he would have committed the crime of plotting misdeeds, and it would be difficult to say, the generals were worried, every time there was a major event before, Huang Qu was making decisions, but now Huang Qu was left in the tent, and everyone was relatively speechless, so they could only go back to the camp.

Wang Ming's camp was ten miles away from the camp, and when he returned to the tent, he was surprised to see the old man, and he was speechless.

"What? Don't you know my second uncle? The old man spoke first.

"Two, second uncle? What are you doing here? Wang Ming opened his mouth.

The old man has a kind face and elegant manners, but he is wearing ordinary cotton clothes but can hardly hide the temperament of the superior, which is the contemporary head of the Qi Wang family, Wang Yujie.

He smiled slightly, "Ming'er"

Wang Ming was excited in his heart, "Second uncle, is the family okay?" "Wang Ming has been in the army for many years, although he is in the northern border army, the station is not far from the Wang family, but Huang Qu is strict in governing the army, and the commanders of the various departments go home to visit relatives, which must be personally approved by him, Wang Ming's father died early, and he has always been taken care of by Wang Yujie, Wang Ming joined the army, and Wang Yujie also used multiple relationships to open up the joints, and he was able to join the army under Huang Qu, not only because of Wang Ming's outstanding ability, but also because Wang Yujie had business dealings with the Huang family, basically thanks to Wang Yujie. has been in the army for many years, and now I haven't seen this second uncle for many years. Later, I heard that the Liang army was attacking Qi, and the Wang family's business was under the Liang army's soldiers, so Wang Ming has always been the vanguard of the army who insists on returning quickly to help. I was really surprised and happy to see Wang Yujie today.

Wang Yujie's tone became serious, "Ming'er, everything is fine at home, don't worry." ”

"Could it be that the Liang army has been destroyed?"

"Nope"

"That?" Wang Ming had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ming'er" Wang Yujie said, "How is your second uncle treating you?" ”

"The second uncle treats me as his own, like his own father, and Ming'er also regards the second uncle as a close relative in his heart" Wang Ming wondered, "Why does the second uncle ask this?" ”

"Ming'er, the second uncle hasn't married a wife and had children all these years, do you know why?"

"Ming'er knows that the second uncle is afraid of discord between his brothers in the future," Wang Ming's heart sank, "But the second uncle can rest assured, no matter what, Ming'er will listen to the second uncle, and he will never do the thing that caused Xiao Wall"

"Ming'er, you are in the army, naturally you don't know the unpredictable things of people's hearts" Wang Yujie sighed, "Yanhuang for 1,500 years, how many wealthy families have risen and fallen, and brothers and sisters abound, so for the sake of the Wang family's inheritance and development, I have to make plans early." Wang Yujie said, "When your father died, he entrusted you to me, and kept saying that I would suffer in the future, in fact, I understood my eldest brother's thoughts, and family inheritance is the first."

Wang Minggang wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang Yujie, "Listen to me, Ming'er, the Wang family will definitely be yours in the future, but before that, I have to make a decision first." ”

Wang Yujie looked at Wang Ming, "I came this time to tell you that King Liang has looked for me." ”

Wang Ming's face changed in an instant, "Second uncle, what do you mean?" ”

"The Kingdom of Qi is over"

"This is impossible, Huang Ming's 50,000 cavalry, Tian Xiangguo's garrison, the king still has 300,000 troops, and now there are 150,000 elites here, how is it possible?"

"There is no impossible person, the king was defeated and captured, and the false news was sent to Huang Qu, saying that the main force of the Liang army was in Pengcheng, in fact, the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Liang army was outside the city of Qizhou, and the purpose was to eat Huang Ming's 50,000 cavalry in one go, as for Tian Heng's garrison troops, after Huang Ming's army was defeated, they would be surrendered and scattered, if my guess was right, Tian Heng would now be in Qiucheng and King Liang to drink and talk."

Wang Ming was stunned, his head was buzzing, and he suddenly came to his senses, "Then the red moon came to seize the military power today?" ”

"I have no way of knowing this, if Hongyue is also King Liang's person, then King Liang is too terrible."

Wang Ming's spirit was completely dispersed all of a sudden: "Then the second uncle wants me to be a general?" ”

"You didn't descend, it was the King of Qi who descended. The next thing you have to do is to restrain your subordinates and stand by no matter what happens. ”

"Ming'er understands."

"I'll stay with you for a few days until it's over."

"Second Uncle Xie, you are not here, Ming'er has no bottom in her heart."

After listening to the confessions of the Huang family's disciples, Huang Qu finally realized how erosive things were. The only thing he could do now was to wait for news from Huang Ming. According to what the old chamberlain said, Huang Ming had no chance of winning, so he immediately ordered the guards to send people to inquire about Huang Ming's whereabouts.

Two days later, two of his subordinates, holding the dying Huang Ming, appeared in front of Huang Qu. Seeing his father, Huang Ming cried loudly, but finally told what happened. The father and son were relatively speechless, and the guards outside the door came to report that General Hongyue was coming.

Huang Ming's eyes were red, and he was about to struggle to get up, but was stopped by Huang Qu.

Hongyue took her hands behind her and walked briskly, obviously receiving the news and coming to wait for Huang Qu's response.

Hongyue said, "Old General, how's it going?" ”

Huang Qu looked at Hongyue, "King Liang's methods are insidious, I Huang Qu admires." ”

"Oh? Is the general convinced? ”

"Convincing? Hahaha "Huang Qu laughed wildly" is really a big joke, my Huang Qu Rong horse has been a horse all my life, except for Xuanyuan Taizu, who have I served? ”

"What does the general mean?" Red Moon was still smiling.

"There is nothing but death"

"Poof," Hongyue smiled unscrupulously, "General Huang, are you trying to scare me to death?" ”

Huang Ming clenched his fists, the green tendons on his head jumped straight, and he was held down by Huang Qu.

Hongyue suddenly snorted coldly, "Old General Huang, guess how many troops you can command in this army now?" ”

Huang Qu was stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"You know in your own heart, I won't go around the bend anymore, now the 150,000 army is in my hands, you can only command your Huang family disciples at most, and the rest of the generals, do you think they will listen to you? They are stupid, but the head of the house behind them is not stupid. ”

Huang Qu closed his eyes tightly, and sighed, "Today is my Huang Qu who lost, in the future, listen to it." ”

Hongyue said with a smile, "Don't worry, King Liang will not treat your Huang family badly, it's just that the position of this great general, you can't do it anymore, go to the capital to recuperate, as for Huang Ming, he will perform well under the second son Zhou Wu in the future, and he will not necessarily have a bright future." The rest of the generals, such as the early bet of the Wang family, Wang Yujie has already moved the family to Liangzhou, so Wang Ming will still lead an army alone, and then follow the king of Liang to continue to crusade against Lu Wei and the two countries. ”

Huang Qu stopped talking, and Hongyue also turned to leave.

That night, 150,000 Qi soldiers changed their surname to Liang.

Three days later, in the city of Qizhou, the king of Qi issued an edict and announced his abdication, in just a few months, the Marquis of Qi became the king of Qi, the king of Qi became a commoner, and the country of Qi, the wealth accumulated for thousands of years, was squandered in these months, Qi Wei became famous all his life, and finally became hated by the people.

In April of the first year of the Warring States Period, King Liang marched into the city of Qizhou, saying, the King of Qi perversely acted and committed a crime, resulting in the misery of the lives and the people's misery.

Outside the tall Qizhou City, there was an old man with a weathered face and a stiff figure, his eyes were complicated and he looked at the three words "Qizhou City", and the old tears were full of tears. Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, "Smash him", the crowd quickly became chaotic, the old man was squeezed forward by the flow of people, and saw a group of soldiers appear in the city, escorting a man with a mantle and a person who couldn't see clearly, from the scolding of the surrounding crowd, the old man knew that it was the king of Qi. I saw that the king of Qi was dressed in white, without saying a word, his footsteps staggered forward, and his whole body was thrown full of eggs and vegetables. The old man was at a loss, and was squeezed away by the people around him, only to see that the man was holding a stone in his hand, and smashed it forward, directly hitting the head of the king of Qi, and suddenly the blood flowed, and the rest of the people saw it, and they also replaced the eggs and vegetables in their hands with stones, and for a while, the stone rained down, and the king of Qi fell to the ground in a blink of an eye. The old man didn't want to see it, he felt cruel, and just wanted to turn away, only to hear someone whisper in his ear, "Do you think it's cruel, or are you afraid?" ”

The old man suddenly panicked, and the noisy sounds around him surrounded him tightly in an instant, making him feel suffocated, and he wanted to escape, but there were too many people, and he couldn't even turn around, and the world was spinning.

Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the crowd with all his might, he gasped for breath, suddenly felt nauseous, bent over and vomited, tears and saliva blurred his vision, he only felt that the vomit turned into writhing snakes, he turned around and ran, until he reached a river, he jumped, his consciousness gradually blurred, he felt comfortable, he wanted to sleep, at this moment, another person pulled his clothes and pulled him up.

He gasped for breath as the man said, "You owe me a great gift." ”
