Chapter 42: Peace

Hunyi.

Zhao Jia retreated into this important city with the remnants of his army, and soon took over the defense of Shanyi.

Due to Zhao Jia's previous order, the guards of all the cities in Zhongshan abandoned the city.

With the defenders and the common people, they rushed towards the city, making the city extremely noisy.

Yan Guo's general Meng Le walked on the street, looking at the crowded city, and his heart struggled a little.

After his surrender, he did not suffer any ill-treatment.

However, Meng Le, as a surrenderer, coupled with the identity of the other party's Yan people, will naturally suffer from the cold eyes of the Zhao people.

"Now that the Zhao army has been defeated in successive battles, even Zhongshan has been lost."

"This town seems to be full of people, but in fact it is a rabble, and after Li Xiang and his army arrive, it is expected that the defenders in the city are also crumbling dogs, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"If the Zhao State is defeated, I, as a Yan general, surrender to the Zhao State, even if I have the protection of my family, I am afraid that the end will not be good."

"Now that the defeat of Zhao Guo is decided, I should look for a good opportunity to escape."

Meng Le's eyes flickered.

"General Meng, Gongzi is looking for you."

Just as Meng Le was thinking about how to escape, he suddenly saw Zhao Bian walking towards him in full armor.

"Ah, what is Childe looking for me?"

Meng Le hurriedly put on a smiling face, even in the face of Zhao Yan, the captain, his face was full of flattery.

Zhao Bian was disdainful in his heart, but he was still very enthusiastic on the surface: "The prince invited the general to the banquet, it seems that there is something important to discuss, and he asks the general for help." ”

Meng Le hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Childe, but if you ask for something, Meng Le will do his best to help even if he is broken!" ”

The two walked towards the county office.

As soon as he walked to the door, Meng Le saw Zhao Jia with the lieutenant general and greeted him very warmly.

"General Meng, there was a lot of neglect some time ago, and I hope the general will forgive you!"

Even though Zhao Jia had bandages on his shoulders, he still insisted on saluting Meng Le.

Meng Le was terrified.

He hurriedly returned the salute, but there was some confusion in his heart, and he didn't know why the other party's attitude changed so quickly.

"In order to make amends to General Meng, a certain person prepared a banquet, and the general will not get drunk today!"

Zhao Jia affectionately grabbed Meng Le's arm, and no matter how doubtful the other party was, he walked straight towards the house.

The feast was extraordinarily rich.

Not only were there all kinds of meat on the table, but even very rare wine was served.

Meng Le could feel that Zhao Jia and these Zhao generals were a little too enthusiastic, and their hearts were even more up.

After three rounds of drinking, Meng Le already felt a little drunk.

Because I drank too much, I also felt that my lower abdomen was swollen, and after the confession, I immediately swayed towards the thatched house.

"Shhh

When the water was released, Meng Le felt relaxed, but the wind blew, and he immediately felt a little drunk.

He finally fastened the belt of his trousers, and then he almost staggered towards the inner hall.

"Du Lieutenant, I think that Meng Le is just a wine bag and rice bag, why does the son treat him so kindly, and even let the lieutenant generals and colonels come to persuade him to drink!"

The faint sound made Meng Le's groggy brain suddenly become much more sober.

He slowed his pace and quietly shifted his body in the direction of the sound.

Zhao Yan's face was gloomy, and he said: "The king wants to change generals because of the general's sabotage, but he doesn't want even the envoy and the edict to be detained. ”

"The king was furious, believing that the general intended to commit treason, so he sent people to arrest the general's family, and the general's favorite young son died when he was captured."

"Now, the crown prince is leading the guards of the royal city, preparing to threaten the general's family and arrest him."

The person who spoke at the beginning was immediately angry when he heard the words.

He shouted: "The general is loyal and brave, how can he really be treasonous? The reason why Gu Yi was not rescued must have his own plans. ”

"In the past, the king replaced the general in battle, so that Changping was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of Zhao Guonan's children were killed and wounded."

"The king did not learn the lessons of the past, but did this again when the Zhao State was in danger of life and death, it is ridiculous!"

Obviously, Lian Po has a lot of prestige in the army.

Even if Lian Po's rescue was not timely, resulting in the entire Zhongshan hometown being obtained by the Yan army, the soldiers still trusted Lian Po.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Wei hurriedly stopped the man, and then whispered: "Having said that, the general's favorite young son was killed, and it is expected that this matter will be difficult to be good. ”

"After the prince finds the general, I can't say that there will be great changes in the army."

"Now that there is such a disaster inside, and there is Yan Jun outside, even if Gongzi Jia has a heart, he is not able to turn the tide."

"Gongzijia's move is to use Meng Le to sue for peace with Yan Guo."

The person who spoke first said: "Gongzi is confused, the Yan army is now in full swing, coupled with the internal instability of my Zhao Kingdom, how can King Yan stop fighting at this time?" ”

Zhao Yan lowered his voice and said, "Even what you can think of, how could Childe not think of it?" ”

"Childe's original intention was not to seek peace, but to delay time."

"Now there are many people gathered in the city of Yanyi, and they have not yet been fully integrated, so there is no way to form a combat force."

"Coupled with the uncertain factor of the general, the main army is unreliable for the time being."

"As long as you use Meng Le's people, pretend to seek peace with King Yan, and then promise heavy profits, after a period of time, the people in the city can be rectified."

"At that time, presumably the matter of the general can also come to a complete end."

"Now that my Zhao Kingdom is at stake, we must not let the Yan Kingdom seize such a good opportunity to capture the important city of Yanyi."

"Look at it, with the shrewdness of the son, he will definitely be able to play Meng Le in applause."

"All you need is a few days."

When Meng Le heard this, the wine had completely woken up, and his eyes showed extreme excitement.

He was still a little suspicious at first, he didn't know why Zhao Jia was so eager for him, but now he completely understood.

"Hmph, if you want to use me to delay time, Zhao Jia, you are simply delusional."

"Originally, I was thinking about how to explain to the king after escaping back to Yan Kingdom, but I didn't expect Zhao Jia to give me such a great credit."

"I might as well pretend to promise Zhao Jia first, go to King Yan to make peace for both sides, and after seeing King Yan, I will persuade Wang Shang to take the opportunity to attack Yanyi."

"As long as the king can capture Shanyi, he can wave his troops south to besiege Handan, and at that time, not only will he not cure me for the crime of surrendering to Zhao, but he may reward me!"

The more Meng Le thought about it, the more excited he became, and he quietly left and walked towards the house.

"General Meng, why have you been out for so long!"

As soon as Meng Le entered the door, he saw Zhao Jia walking over with a wine glass and very enthusiastically.

Looking at Zhao Jia's enthusiastic appearance, Meng Le was still very humble on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.

"You want to take advantage of me as a fool, I really don't know what Zhao Jia's expression will be after he learns that I strongly persuaded King Yan to step up his attack on Yanyi?"
