Chapter 153: Dune Incident [Two in One]

"It's a pity...... What?'

Hearing Master Zhao's calm tone, Meng Zhong unconsciously slowly clenched his fists, feeling an inexplicable chill.

The side hall of the east hall is actually not far from the main hall, at best, it is only a dozen zhang away, Meng Zhong believes that when Fei Yi shouted those impassioned words before he died, Lord Zhao's side could actually hear it.

But Master Zhao's father did not move, and even so, he still sat here and drank and talked with Que Guanzi.

Even if Meng Zhong told Master Zhao in person at this moment, telling him that Fei Yi was dead, in exchange for only Master Zhao's sentence "This is really a pity".

It was as if it was just an irrelevant person who had died, not a diligent and loyal courtier who had assisted him for more than ten years.

『……』

Opening his mouth, Meng Zhong didn't know what to say.

He was just disappointed, disappointed by Lord Zhao's reaction.

Because in his heart, Master Zhao really shouldn't use this attitude and tone to respond to Feiyi's death - Meng Zhong didn't know what kind of attitude and tone Master Zhao should use, but Master Zhao's attitude and tone at the moment really made him feel cold.

After all, it is Feiyi, since Zhao's father inherited the throne of the monarch, the most supportive minister, without Feiyi, Zhao's father is difficult to adhere to the reform of Hufu cavalry shooting, even if Zhao's father has a bad relationship with Feiyi in recent years, but this is also because Feiyi sticks to one heart and does his best to assist Zhao Wanghe - Zhao Wanghe's throne was given by Zhao's father, Feiyi tried his best to assist Zhao Wanghe, but in the end he was tabooed by Zhao's father.

That's really ...... It's so ironic!

"Why do you ...... Master Zhao? To respond like this? ”

After being silent for a long time, Meng Zhong suddenly asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Master Zhao took a sip of the wine bowl, and then said lightly: "Then how do you think I should respond?" Panicked by Fei Yi's death? Or is it shock? …… So you're satisfied? Oh, what did you say outside the palace, "If Gongzi Zhang really kidnapped Master Zhao's father, I should immediately go out of the city to mobilize the Xinwei army...... That's what you're talking about, right? Now that you've seen through it, why should I hide it? ”

Speaking of this, he tilted his head to look at Meng Zhong and said in a deep voice: "The courtiers of the Zhao State are not the courtiers of my Zhao Yong. I do feel sorry for Fei Yi's death, after all, Fei Yi was the courtier who used to support me the most, but now, Fei Yi is no longer my courtier, but ...... You can say that he is Zhao He's courtier, or you can say that he is Zhao He's courtier, but it is not my Zhao Yong's courtier. I gave him the opportunity to sincerely hope that he would continue to assist me as before, but Fei Yi refused...... He would rather cooperate with Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and other people he had always been wary of, rather than assist me again, and even obstruct my will in every possible way...... He has become my enemy, it is his own choice, and when he makes this choice, my relationship with his prince has come to an end. In my eyes, there is not much difference between Feiyi and Zhao Cheng and Li Dui. ”

Meng Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Do you generalize the fat phase with Zhao Cheng and Li Dui? ”

"Why not?"

Meng Zhong glanced at Meng Zhong, and then said with a straight face: "Meng Zhong, there are many things in the world, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. You Taoist disciples are too absolute in these matters, although Feiyi is of noble character and worthy of respect, but people with noble character and worthy of respect will not be your enemy? Hehe! …… I heard that you and Tian Zhang are also brothers, but let me tell you that when Tian Zhang fell to the Yan Kingdom, he also killed the people of the Yan Kingdom, so that there are still Yan people who hate Tian Zhang to the core, what do you think of this matter? ”

"......" Meng Zhong frowned slightly.

At this time, Master Zhao's father let out a long breath and said lightly: "You are a Taoist disciple, pursuing the 'virtue' you think in your heart, I won't say anything about it, and even, I value people like you very much." …… Feiyi also has the 'benevolence' and 'loyalty' that he insists on, in fact, like Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others, in fact, they are not people with corrupt morals, when I first succeeded to the throne, all countries jointly put pressure on my Zhao State, do you think that at that time to help me make Zhao Guo tide over the difficulties, it was just Feiyi? No! In fact, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui also contributed a lot of strength, and made several envoys to Wei, Qi, Qin and other countries. …… Meng Zhong, in many cases, people's moral character is not the key to deciding whether they are friends or enemies, but the key lies in their respective positions. Have you ever thought that Tian Buyu was a person you could befriend? Even for a long time, you are still brothers, I believe that after today, you have changed your opinion of Tian Buyu a little, right? In the eyes of many people, Tian Buyu is a ruthless and scheming villain, but with your wisdom, you can't even detect this, what does this mean? It can only show that Tian Buyu has no ill will towards you. …… And in my eyes, although Tian Buyu is ruthless and scheming, he is a trustworthy courtier, why? Because I know what he wants! He wants to become the 'co-prime minister' of Zhao and Song, so that both Zhao and Song value him, this is what he wants, he wants this reputation. …… And this is not harmless to me, because I will not be enemies with him. …… Meng Zhong, interests and positions, this is the key to deciding whether to be friend or foe. In the face of interests, the relationship between friends and enemies is actually very vague, and the interests are the same, which is a natural ally; And the conflict of interest, then it is destined to become an enemy. ”

Speaking of this, Master Zhao glanced at Meng Zhong, and said: "Speaking of Feiyi, I also regret Feiyi's death, but even if I do it again, I will still acquiesce to Gongzizhang and Tian Buyi's behavior, because Feiyi, he is already an enemy." …… You asked me why I reacted so coldly to this, because I knew very well that in order to accomplish this great thing, Fei Yi had to die! …… Feiyi is certainly a respectable person, but he must die! ”

“……”

Hearing Master Zhao's words, Meng Zhong was silent.

In all fairness, Master Zhao's words can be regarded as sincere.

Indeed, Master Zhao's father can completely change his attitude, change an attitude that Meng Zhong can accept, and even pretend to be heartbroken, even if the two of them know what is going on in each other's hearts.

Yes, what Meng Zhong couldn't accept was because Master Zhao didn't even mean to cover it up.

While this is indeed "true" and unpretentious, it is also too chilling.

It made Meng Zhong feel cold.

Once upon a time, when Meng Zhong first met Master Zhao, including when he bathed with Master Zhao later, Master Zhao gave him the impression that he seemed to be a big-minded elder and approachable, but today's Master Zhao made him feel extremely strange - perhaps, this is the quality that a male master should have.

Seeing that Meng Zhong didn't respond for a long time, Master Zhao chuckled and said, "Okay, the matter of Feiyi, let's stop here." Now you immediately go out of the city, gather the Xinwei army into the palace, and help Gongzi Zhang. …… Do you have any objections to this? ”

Meng Zhong took a deep look at Master Zhao and shook his head slightly.

"Good!"

Master Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead." …… When it is done, you will get what you want, whether it is the Zhao and Song Alliance, or the canonization of the Mengshi clan. ”

“……”

Meng Zhong silently glanced at Master Zhao's father a few times, and then left with his fists clenched.

After waiting for Meng Zhong to leave, Que Guanzi returned to the house and sat down opposite Master Zhao again.

He shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, you shouldn't be so straightforward, Meng Zhong Xiaoyou is a disciple of Zhuangzi......"

"He'll have to face it sooner or later."

Master Zhao took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Unless he is like his teacher Zhuangzi, who lives in seclusion and does not ask about the world, he will have to face these things sooner or later." …… After the latter experience, he will be able to adapt slowly in the future. ”

"Not necessarily."

Looking at the rather confident Master Zhao's father, Que Guanzi stroked his beard and thought secretly in his heart.

When Meng Zhong left, he clearly saw Meng Zhong's gloomy face, so he secretly guessed that Master Zhao's words didn't really convince this little friend.

The reason why this little friend chose to continue to obey Master Zhao's orders may be just to ensure the stability of Zhao State, or just to repay Lord Zhao's kindness to him before, but after this matter is over, it may not be.

"When this is over, I'll find a way to persuade that little friend."

Crane Guanzi thought secretly.

At the same time, Meng Zhong had left the east hall with a calm face and returned to the Xinwei military camp outside the city.

About half an hour later, he returned to the barracks of the Xinwei Army, recruited Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi into the marshal tent, and told the three of them about "Feiyi was booby-trapped by Gongzizhang", and the three of them frowned.

"Gongzizhang really did it." Le Yi said with a frown.

Compared with his pertinent evaluation, Meng Sui and Xiang Yi were angry that Tian Buyu used Meng Zhong, after all, because of Meng Zhong's relationship before, their impression of Gongzizhang and Tian Buyu was quite good.

I have to say that it is also thanks to Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi that the three of them are relatively calm, if they were Menghu, Huahu, and Mu Wu, I am afraid that they would have already exploded like thunder - who can bear to be used by their own people?

After scolding a few words in a low voice, Xiang Yu frowned and asked, "Ah Zhong, what should I do now?" ”

Meng Zhong pondered for a moment, and said in a strange tone: "Now that Master Zhao has been held hostage by Gongzi Zhang, therefore, we can only obey Gongzi Zhang's orders......

“……”

Hearing this, the expressions of Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi became inexplicably strange.

Xiang Yu said with a strange expression: "This kind of thing...... Can you deceive someone? Even if Pang Xuan's personal talent is removed, he has 5,000 soldiers under his command, and Gongzizhang is in the Dune Palace, and there are only a few hundred people......"

"What's this?" Le Yi said lightly: "Since Gongzi Zhang said so, and Master Zhao will not stand up and deny it, then this is the truth...... After that, he turned his head and asked Meng Zhongdao: "Master Zhao...... No, Gongzizhang asked me to trust the guards to help him? You promised? ”

"Hmm."

Meng Zhong nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi all had a look of surprise on their faces.

"You really agreed?" Le Yi asked incredulously.

Meng Zhong was silent for a moment, and then said: "No matter what, Master Zhao is kind to us, and the Zhao Kingdom is now facing drastic changes, so we should help him calm down...... Chaos. Even if it's to repay him for his kindness. ”

From Meng Zhong's words, Le Yi heard a little clue, and he asked again, "So what about after this?" ”

Meng Zhong did not answer.

Seeing this, Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi immediately understood, and nodded one after another.

Obviously, Master Zhao's attitude towards Feiyi's death also made them feel a little chilled.

At the same time, in the west hall of the Dune Palace, Gong Bo Xinqi and the palace guards under his command were stubbornly resisting the attack of Gongzizhang's guards and Pang Xuan's Tan Guards.

I have to say that Gongzizhang rebelled, which was not unexpected by the letter period, after all, Fei Yi had told him to be careful before going to the east hall to make an appointment.

Xin Qi only felt sad, because since Gongzi Zhang had committed a rebellious act, it meant that his respected Fei Yi had been killed.

On the one hand, he sent someone to inform Zhao Ping and Li Ji, and ordered the two to guard the city gate, preparing to escort Zhao Wanghe to leave the city and go to Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao outside the city, and on the other hand, he immediately reported the matter to Zhao Wanghe.

I have to say that because Fei Yi deliberately concealed it from Zhao Wang He before, Zhao Wang He didn't know that Sima Chen, the guard of Gongzi Zhang, came to invite him and Fei Yi to the East Hall to discuss matters, so when he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly erupt outside the hall, he also felt shocked.

At this time, he saw that the letter period hurriedly ran away from the palace, so Zhao Wanghe hurriedly asked: "Qing, what happened outside the palace?" ”

I saw that the letter period hugged his fists and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Zhang has rebelled!" He kidnapped Zhao's master father and forced Pang Xuan to lead the army with him to attack the West Palace, which was not easy to stay behind, and the minister immediately escorted Jun to the outside of the city and defected to Yang Wenjun! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Wanghe's face was as frightened as earth.

It's no wonder, after all, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and unlike Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and other armor soldiers who have experienced wars, King Zhao He has always been pampered, where has he experienced this kind of battle?

At this time, he was left with only nodding his head again and again.

After a while, when waiting for the letter period to protect Zhao Wang He with more than 20 armor soldiers was about to retreat to the city gate, Zhao Wang He suddenly thought of Fei Yi, and after looking around several times, he asked in surprise: "Xin Period, why don't you see Fei Xiang?" Where is the fat phase? ”

Hearing this, Xinqi's heart sank, and after several times of wanting to speak, he said to Zhao Wanghe: "Your Majesty, please forgive Xinqi for hiding it from you together with Fei Xiang...... An hour ago, Gongzi Zhang's guard Sima Chen Qi, holding the edict of Lord Zhao's father, invited the king to go to the east hall to discuss matters...... Now that Gongzi Zhang has rebelled, I am afraid that he has ...... Something has happened. ”

When King Zhao heard this, his heart was in turmoil, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shook his head again and again and said: "Impossible, impossible, Fat Prime Minister said that he will assist the widow until he dies of old age, and watch the widow become a wise monarch......"

"Your Majesty."

Looking at Zhao Wanghe's painful and sad look, Xin Qi felt uncomfortable in his heart, but the situation at this moment was dangerous, and he couldn't care about him and Zhao Wanghe feeling sad for Feiyi anymore, no matter what, he had to complete Feiyi's previous entrustment, so that Zhao Wanghe could leave the city unharmed and escape to Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's army.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about the number of respects and humility, grabbed Zhao Wanghe's robe, and pulled the confused Zhao Wanghe towards the west city gate.

The west gate of the Dune Palace is guarded by Zhao Ping, the son of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, which is also the closest road to the military camp of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao.

But unfortunately, since Gongzizhang decided to rebel, how could he miss the West City Gate?

In fact, not long after Gongzizhang and Pang Xuan jointly attacked the West Palace, Pang Xuan's Zuo Sima Juxin led a team of Tan guards to attack the West City Gate, so that when Xin Zhi led hundreds of guards to protect Zhao Wang He and fled to the West City Gate, there were soldiers of the Tan Guards everywhere along the way.

"Swear to protect the king!"

With a shout from the letter period, hundreds of palace guards and hundreds of Tan guards under the command of Ju Xin started a melee fight.

At this time, Gongzi Zhang and Pang Xuan also learned that Xinqi took Zhao Wanghe to break through to the west city gate, so they immediately chased after breaking through the hundreds of palace guards who stayed behind.

And Gongzizhang also shouted loudly: "The letter period holds the king hostage, with bad intentions, and everyone will be punished!" ”

In the midst of the chaos, Xin Qi also heard Gongzizhang's voice, and in order to prevent the palace guards under his command from being deceived by Gongzizhang, he also asked people to shout the truth: "Hugh must listen to the nonsense of the rebellious ministers and thieves!" …… Gongzi Zhang held Zhao's father hostage and wanted to harm the monarch to seize the throne. ”

I have to say that the mutual denunciation between Gongzizhang and Xinzhi made the soldiers on both sides of the palace guard and the Tan guard army a little confused: who is the rebellious minister?

Some people may wonder why these people don't know the truth since the Tan Guards assisted Gongzizhang in attacking the West Palace?

In fact, there are only a few people who really know the truth, such as Pang Xuan, Ju Xin, Zhao Hao, etc., and the vast majority of the Tan Wei soldiers mistakenly thought that it was the letter period that held Zhao Wang He hostage - who let Gongzi Zhang and Pang Xuan speak in the mouth, compared with the letter period, the Tan Wei soldiers of course believed Pang Xuan's words more.

"The Tan Guards have rebelled from Gongzi Zhang, and the monarchs are desperately protecting the monarchs!"

"Protect the king, kill the traitor Xinji!"

Under the condemnation of each other, the palace guards and the Tan guards fought desperately, so that corpses were everywhere.

I saw that in the midst of the chaos, Xin Zhi pulled Zhao Wanghe's arm and protected him behind him, while holding a sharp sword, swinging his sword to kill one after another Tan Wei soldiers who rushed forward, and it was difficult to protect Zhao Wanghe to move towards the west city gate.

During this period, warm blood surged on Zhao Wanghe's face and body from time to time, making him pale and trembling all over.

Some of this blood came from the Tan Guard soldiers who tried to "recapture Zhao Wang He", and some came from the palace guards under the command of Xin Qi to protect him.

"Letter period, where are you going!"

With a loud shout, Ju Xin personally led a team of Tan guards to block the way of the letter period.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Ping, the son of Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, finally led the reinforcements to arrive, only to see that he desperately blocked the men and horses of Ji Xin, and urged the letter to say: "Uncle Gong, quickly take you out of the city, I have sent someone to ask Yang Wenjun for help!" ”

The letter was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately protected Zhao Wanghe and escaped from the Dune Palace and fled to the military camp of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao.

At this time, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao had just received a message for help from Zhao Ping.

"Gongzi Zhang dared to hold Lord Zhao hostage, and he dared to attack the west hall where the monarch was located?!"

When they learned the news, the generals under Zhao Bao's command were furious and pleaded with Zhao Bao to give the order to attack and kill Gongzizhang.

However, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao did not respond.

He was pondering the words "Gongzizhang is holding Master Zhao hostage".

Just as Meng Zhong and Le Yi judged, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao did not think that Gongzi Zhang had the strength to hold Zhao's father hostage.

Of course, since Gongzi Zhang wants to raise troops to rebel, then he will inevitably secretly transfer his troops to the area of the sand dunes in advance, but in the Dune Palace, it is almost impossible for Gongzi Zhang to hold Lord Zhao hostage.

You must know that Master Zhao has Pang Xuan's 5,000 Tan guards by his side, and there are also Meng Zhong's 1,000 Xin Guards outside the city, how many people are there around Gongzizhang? How could it be so easy to kidnap Master Zhao's father and force Pang Xuan to obey his orders?

This doesn't make sense!

Didn't Pang Xuan know to ask for help?

Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao didn't know much about Pang Xuan's Tan Guards, but Zhao Bao still knew a lot about the strength of the Xin Guards under Meng Zhong.

The veterans of the Xinwei Army are all brave and elite, and they are good at sneak attacks, if Gongzi Zhang really held the Zhao master hostage, why has Mengzhong's Xinwei Army not changed so far? - Yes, because he is very vigilant about the Xinwei Army, Zhao Bao has sent people to keep an eye on the Xinwei Army's every move.

In Zhao Bao's opinion, if Pang Xuan had the heart, at least open the city gate, and Meng Zhong's Xinwei army alone would be enough to enter the Dune Palace and kill Gongzizhang and his rebel army.

However, there has been no change in the Xinwei Army so far, which means that Pang Xuan did not ask for help from the Xinwei Army, or to put it simply, Master Zhao's father deliberately pretended to be held hostage by Gongzi Zhang, and asked Tan Weijun to help Gongzi Zhang.

"If that's the case......

Thinking of this, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao immediately ordered: "Zhao Wen, you lead two thousand soldiers to support the letter period and protect the king." …… Zhao Ji, you lead 2,000 soldiers to assist Zhao Wen, beware of an ambush with Gongzi Zhang in the vicinity! As for the rest, follow the old man to face the Xinwei Army! ”

"Welcome, meet the Xinwei Army?"

After hearing Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao's words, the generals in the tent looked at each other.

After half a ring, one of the generals cautiously asked, "Yang Wenjun, do you suspect that Meng Zhong also participated in the rebellion with Gongzi Zhang?" ”

"No, the old man just thinks that since Gongzizhang has kidnapped Master Zhao's father and forced Pang Xuan to obey his orders, presumably Meng Zhong's kid is also a rat bogeyman, so he can only obey Gongzizhang's orders......" When making an explanation, a few inexplicable looks flashed in Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's eyes.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that where Gongzi Zhang was holding Master Zhao's father hostage, it was clear that Master Zhao's father was deliberately held hostage by Gongzi Zhang, so Pang Xuan would obey Gongzi Zhang's orders.

In the same way, since it was the secret instruction of Master Zhao's father, then Sima Mengzhong, who was in charge of the Xinwei Army, would also obey Master Zhao's orders.

Based on Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's understanding of Meng Zhong, this kid would definitely attack his military camp - because that kid knew very well why the king of Zhao would inevitably flee to his Zhao Bao's military camp to seek refuge.

Sure enough, about a moment later, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao received a report: the entire army of the Xinwei Army went straight to the camp of his Handan army!

"Sure enough!"

Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao immediately came to the area around the camp gate, climbed the guard tower, and looked out of the camp.

At this time, night had fallen, and with the lights of the barracks and a little moonlight under the night sky, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao faintly saw the trace of an army in the distance outside the camp.

The number of people is not much, maybe only a few hundred, but it is the army of these hundreds that makes Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao feel like a great enemy.

"Meng Zhong boy, even if you have the ability, as long as the old man doesn't go out and defends the camp, what can you do except attack?"

Looking at the dark shadows under the night sky in the distance, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao thought secretly.
