A moment later, after the meeting presided over by Tian Touch, the commander of the Qi army, Le Yi took Zhao Hao and Rong Yi to return to the camp of his Yan army on a war horse under the protection of a team of Yan troops.

I have to say that on the way back to the Yan army camp, Rong Yi couldn't wait to talk to Le Yi about the reinforcements of the Wei State immediately, after all, there are all kinds of signs that the Wei generals of the Qin and Wei countries who rushed to the aid of the Song State this time were their brother Meng Zhong!

Yes, since Meng Zhong once said to Rong Yi that I also regard you as a sibling, it is natural for Rong Yi to regard Meng Zhong as a brother, but when he mentioned Meng Zhong to Le Yi, he would inevitably call Meng Zhong Meng Sima This is the title he used to use, and he does not intend to change it.

But unfortunately, although Rong Yi was eager to talk to Le Yi about Meng Zhong, there was Zhao Hao by his side at this time.

What can Zhao Hao say, it is true that he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but firstly, this person has no special feelings for Song Guo, and secondly, it is said that he has always been obsessed with Zhao Guo, and he is not a sibling brother in the same circle as them after all.

Therefore, Rong Yi had to endure it, and was ready to find an opportunity when Zhao Hao was not by his side after returning to the camp, and then talk to Le Yi about Wei Jun.

However, to Rong Yan's surprise, on the way back to the barracks, Zhao Hao took the initiative to talk about it.

He asked Le Yi: "Da Sima, the Meng surnamed Wei generals mentioned by Fang Cai Tian when talking about the Qin and Wei coalition forces, I'm afraid they are Meng Zhong and Meng Sima, right?" ”

Hearing this, Le Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Hao, and said noncommittally: "Before I saw it with my own eyes, I didn't dare to identify it." Maybe someone else? ”

Zhao Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "The surname Mengshi is from the Song Kingdom, which is rare, not to mention that the Mengshi Wei general is still a general who has at least one army in his hands, and it is by no means an ordinary person to think of Da Sima when he once defected to Yan State, he once mentioned that he went to Yan from Wei State, and he thought that Meng Sima had already defected to Wei State at that time, in short, except for Meng Sima, I really can't think of any other military general surnamed Meng in Wei State." ”

Zhao Hao's words made Le Yi unable to deny it, because when he and Rong Yi first defected to Yan Kingdom, they did reveal a lot to Ju Xin and Zhao Hao, after all, at that time, he and Rong Yi had just arrived, and they were no more expensive than Ju Xin as the state minister of South Korea and the post of Great Sima, and Zhao Hao had also been appointed as Shanggu Shou by Yan Wang, holding the power of a military army.

It's just that in the past two years, Le Yi has become more and more trusted by the Yan Wangyi and has been appointed as the Great Sima of the Yan Kingdom.

The reason for this is nothing more than that Le Yi and Yan Wangzhi have the same interests Le Yi cares about the Song State and does not want the Song State to be violated by the Qi State again, and the Yan Wangzhi is even more hated by the Qi State.

As a result, the two hit it off, so that Le Yi, a descendant, is now more trusted by Yan Wangyi than Ju Xin and Zhao Hao.

As for his only task, that is to fulfill the lifelong wish of the Yan Dynasty, that is, to destroy the Qi Kingdom!

This is also the reason why when Qi General Tian threatened Le Yi a while ago, Le Yi was not afraid at all, because Yan Wangzhi would not remove him because of this matter at all, if it weren't for the current inappropriate time, Yan Wangzhi would have ordered Le Yi to attack Qi State a long time ago, and it was the turn of the Qin people to show off their might in front of his Yan people?

It is precisely because of the different position he is in two years ago that Le Yi's attitude towards Zhao Hao will inevitably change.

It's not that it's a trend, it's just that he is trusted by the Yan Wang, and he has gradually adapted to the position of the Great Sima of the Yan Kingdom, in this case, Le Yi naturally has to consider the interests of the Yan Kingdom, which is also the reason why he has gradually alienated Zhao Hao in the past two years, who makes Zhao Hao always remember Zhao Guo.

If it is said that Ju Xin defected to Yan Kingdom for glory and wealth and revenge, and if it is said that Le Yi and Rong Yi defected to Yan Kingdom to weaken Qi State by using the power of Yan State, then Zhao Hao, he purely took refuge in Yan Kingdom, after all, he also belonged to a rebellious role in the Dune Palace Incident.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Hao absconded in fear of crime, rather than willingly defecting to Yan Kingdom.

Perhaps, when Fengyang Jun Li Dui loses power in Zhao State in the future, Zhao Hao will ask Yan Wangzhi to resign from the position of Shanggu Shou and return to Zhao State.

In all fairness, Le Yi doesn't hate such people, after all, his good brother Meng Zhong also has strong feelings for his homeland Song State like Zhao Hao, but standing in the position of a courtier of Yan State, Le Yi naturally can't accept Zhao Hao's behavior of being in Yan Guo and having his heart in Zhao.

All in all, Zhao Hao and his Le Yi and Rong Yi are by no means all the way.

Therefore, there are many things that Le Yi will discuss with Rong Yi, but he doesn't want to reveal them to Zhao Hao, such as Su Qin's matter, and then for example, the current matter.

After thinking about it, Le Yi said lightly: "Maybe." When you mentioned this, did you suspect that Le would fornicate with Wei Jun? ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "How come?" I just think that if it is really Meng Zhong and Meng Sima who led the Wei army to aid the Song State, then not only the Qi army will suffer, but perhaps, our army also needs to be vigilant against this. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Le Yi and said, "Da Sima, I think that you should trust you more in Xia"

Le Yi stared at Zhao Hao for a moment, and said directly: "As long as you are willing to swear to the sky, you will be used by the Yan Kingdom for the rest of your life, and you will never return to the Zhao Kingdom, I will give you the greatest trust and tell you everything." ”

Zhao Hao opened his mouth, and immediately a polite but very embarrassing smile appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that Le Yi would unceremoniously say this matter.

Seeing that Zhao Hao wanted to speak several times and stopped, but he still refused to swear, Le Yi secretly sighed in his heart, and then slowed down his tone and said: "It's not that Le doesn't trust you, even you are hesitant to return to Zhao in the future, how can I trust you?" Therefore, don't blame Le for hiding from you in some things."

The problem was himself, and Zhao Hao couldn't say anything, so he nodded silently.

After returning to the Yan army's camp, Zhao left with a sense of humor, so Le Yi took Rong Yi to his tent.

At this time, there was no one in the tent, and the guards of Le Yi who were guarding outside the tent were all children of the Le family from Zhongshan Kingdom, so Le Yi and Rong Yi naturally did not need to hide anything.

No, as soon as he walked into the tent, Rong Yan couldn't wait to say in a joyful tone: "I didn't expect that the reinforcements of Wei were actually our city army."

"Ahem." Le Yi coughed lightly and reminded: "What you said is extremely inappropriate, you must know that you are now the general of the Yan Kingdom."

Rong Yan said disapprenously: "There are no outsiders here, what's the matter?" ”

Le Yi shook his head and said: "Pay more attention on weekdays, and only when it is critical can you avoid slips of the tongue like our city army, don't say it again in the future." ”

Different from his attitude when talking to Zhao Hao, Le Yi has a very peaceful attitude towards Rong Hao's persuasion, and it is no wonder that after all, they are brothers and sisters who trust each other.

"Okay, good, Le Da Sima."

Considering Le Yi's nagging, Rong Yi had no choice but to change his rhetoric: "Fang Cheng Army, Meng Sima's Fang Cheng Army, is this okay?" As he spoke, he licked his lips and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really want to see that Fangcheng army, when the two of us left Fangcheng, Fangcheng was poor and dilapidated, no less than the Yan Kingdom after the Qi disaster."

The Qi disaster in his mouth alludes to the disaster of the Qi State when the Yan State took the opportunity to attack the Yan State and slaughtered and looted everywhere in the Yan Kingdom.

Hearing Rong Yi say this, Le Yi couldn't help but recall the scene when he was in Fangcheng.

I remember that when I first saw Fangcheng, Yeyi, and Wuyang, Le Yi was very disappointed, after all, it was the southern border of Wei, far less rich than the hinterland of China, and in Le Yi's opinion at that time, the reward given by Wei to Meng Zhong was not worthy of the losses they recovered for Wei in the Battle of Yique.

You must know that if it weren't for them, Gongsun Zhu and the about forty or fifty thousand Hedong troops under his command at that time would have been wiped out under the attack of the Qin general Bai Qi.

What does this mean?

This means that 100,000 Hedong troops and 100,000 Hedong Wei soldiers were wiped out.

In this case, the following year, the Qin State waved its army to attack Hedong, and the Wei State could not stop the Qin State offensive at all.

In other words, in the Battle of Yique, they not only recovered the losses of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers for Wei, but also protected Hedong County of Wei in disguise.

What is the concept of Wei losing Hedong County?

It wasn't just the loss of a piece of land, it meant that Wei lost nearly half of its wealth and state taxes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wei has Hedong County, so Wei can still have the financial resources to support Wei Wushu, but once Hedong County is lost, Wei may not even be able to raise an army, what else can be used to resist Qin?

However, in the face of such merits, Wei sent Fangcheng to the southern border of the country to garrison, and only gave Yeyi and Wuyang two fiefdoms, which made Le Yi feel extremely dissatisfied at that time.

If there had been a better choice at that time, Le Yi would definitely persuade Meng Zhong to go to another country with the talents of their brothers, which country would they not be able to gain a foothold?

It's a pity that there was really no other choice at that time.

Now, nearly two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Meng Zhong can actually lead reinforcements to support Song on behalf of Wei State, which is really a bit unexpected by Le Yi.

You must know that in the past two years, he Le Yi has been able to train an army far more than the past because of the strong support of Yan Wangzhi, but Meng Zhong is in Wei, but he may not be able to get the full support of Wei Wangyun.

In this case, Le Yi was also eager to see Fang Chengjun.

As long as he glanced at the Fangcheng army, from the appearance of this army and the weapons and armor of the soldiers, he could roughly judge how Meng Zhong had lived in Wei in the past two years.

Of course, if there is a chance, then of course it is more direct to meet with Meng Zhong and those people, and when the time comes, it is enough to say something to the face.

From the side, Rong Yi obviously thought of one thing with Le Yi, and said with great interest: "We have to find a way to meet with Meng Sima and them." I don't know how many brothers came this time, except for Monsima. ”

Hearing this, Le Yi was also a little moved.

Indeed, in addition to Meng Zhong, they also have many brothers who miss them, such as Meng Hu, who always claims to be the number one general, and Hua Hu, who always snatches this funny self-proclaimed Hua Hu from Meng Hu, Mu Wu, who seems to be steady but always giggles at every turn, and Xiang Yi, who seems to be benevolent but is very insidious

Thinking of these old brothers who had been away for a long time, Le Yi couldn't help but show a little smile on his face.

He misses that feeling.

In Yan Kingdom, only Rong Yan can be called his brother, and the rest, like Zou Yan, Su Qin, Qin Kai, Su Dai, Ju Xin, Zhao Hao and other courtiers of Yan Kingdom, are just colleagues who chat casually after meeting each other, and they don't have any deep feelings at all.

Thinking of this, Le Yi dispelled the idea of stopping Rong Yan and said to the latter in a low voice: "With Ah Zhong's character, he will definitely send his corporal to monitor the two armies of Qi and Yan in the next few days, and when the time comes, it only needs to be like this."

He whispered a few words to Rong Worm, only to hear Rong Worm nodding again and again.

At the same time, in Tancheng City, the banquet of the prince, Dai Wu, Qin and Wei alliance generals has also come to an end.

Unlike the attitude of refusing to drink with Song Wangyan when he was in Pengcheng, Meng Zhong is very open in Tancheng today, after all, like the crown prince Dai Wu, Dai Busheng, Dai Jing, and Hui An, they are not outsiders.

Compared with Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and Hua Hu behaved at all, and in the end, they actually stepped on the case with Dai Busheng and fought together, and they saw that Jin Kuang and Wu Rong looked at each other, are they really the generals of the Wei State? You are so close to the generals of the Song Kingdom, does the King of Wei care?

During this period, Marquis Wei Ran also paid attention to the interaction between Meng Zhong and others and Dai Wu, Dai Busheng and others, stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word.

Maybe in his heart, the closer Meng Zhong and the others are to the Song State, the more beneficial it is to his Qin State, after all, when necessary, he Qin State can use this matter to solve Meng Zhong's obstacle, either put pressure on Song State and force Song State to recall Meng Zhong back to China or separate Wei State and Meng Zhong, so that Wei Wang Wei is suspicious of Meng Zhong.

I have to say that for Meng Zhong, a Wei general who can't even guarantee victory with Sima Co and Bai Qi, Marquis Wei Ran is also quite scrupled.

After the feast, the generals of the Qin army said goodbye one after another, and then under the leadership of Hui An, they went to the guest room of the palace to rest, as for the crown prince Dai Wu, he really found Meng Zhong and asked the latter the question that puzzled him for many days: "Meng Qing is not right, Meng Sima, how can Le Yi be in Yan Kingdom?" Even the Glory Worm is too."

The crown prince Dai Wu is naturally a person who can be trusted, so Meng Zhong did not hide it, and truthfully told Dai Wu about the things before and after he and Le Yi separated.

Dai Wu suddenly realized: "It turns out that Le Yi and Rong Yi are actually our internal responses?" It's no wonder that the Yan army has been passive and sluggish when they attack our Tancheng these days."

As he spoke, he also told Meng Zhong about the Yan army's attack on his Tancheng in recent days, only to hear Meng Zhong shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Also, after all, Le Yi's release of water is really powerful, it is simply a Beihai.

This analogy is not an exaggeration, if Le Yi is serious, no one in the Song Kingdom can stop him, and so far Meng Zhong has seen the best peers in the use of soldiers, that is, Bai Qi and Le Yi.

After bidding farewell to the crown prince Dai Wu, Meng Zhong came to the residence arranged for him, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw Hua Hu, Le Jin, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, and Yu Ying sitting in the house waiting for him to arrive, as for Meng Hu, he didn't even take off his boots and fell asleep on the couch, obviously because he drank a lot of wine with Dai Busheng, I remember that Dai Busheng seemed to be helped away by Dai Jing at that time.

"Finished talking to the prince?" As Meng Zhong entered the door, Hua Hu asked with a yawn.

"Ahh Meng Zhong responded, and then asked everyone with a smile: "Why, don't you go to rest?" ”

Hua Hu stretched his waist and yawned, and then explained: "Isn't this waiting for your instructions?" The Yan Jun on the other side are all old acquaintances, I think you should want to explain a few words to us."

As he spoke, he frowned and glanced at Menghu, who was snoring loudly on the couch, and scolded: "Who is going to plug this guy's mouth?" ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed, during which Cao Chun was a little embarrassed to intercede for his own Sima, after all, he also knew that Menghu and Huahu were closely related, so they could do everything, maybe Huahu would really carry Menghu and throw him out of the house.

"Alright, alright."

Meng Zhong smiled and waved his hand, and then walked to the bed, and saw Meng Hu lying on his bed without even taking off his boots, and his expression became a little playful.

I saw that under the surprised gaze of everyone, Meng Zhong leaned down and whispered in Meng Hu's ear: "Ah Hu, your grandfather is here, saying that he wants to beat you."

In an instant, I saw Meng Hu sit up on the couch, scan the surroundings alertly with his hazy eyes, and it was not until he saw the surroundings clearly that he gradually relaxed, yawned and said, "I vaguely seem to hear someone say that my grandfather is coming."

"You must have dreamed."

Meng Zhong smiled and said, "I think about it day and night I have dreams, these days, are you thinking about Elder Yi?" ”

"Don't mention it." Meng Hu said angrily: "The old man urged me to get married quickly, and what else did he say, he wanted to hug his great-grandson before he entered the ground, I said at the time, I saw that his body and bones would live for another ten years, but he was beaten to the ground with a cane full of bags, and I was killed in pain."

Hearing this, Hua Hu, Cao Chun, and Cai Cheng couldn't help laughing, after all, they all witnessed it with their own eyes.

Who would have thought that Menghu, who was brave and unstoppable on the battlefield, would be chased by an old man in his sixties and run around, and even be knocked on the ground with a cane full of bags? At least Jin Kuang and the other Qin generals would never believe it.

After an interesting episode, Meng Zhong and the others sat down in the house.

At this time, Meng Zhong glanced around at everyone and said in a low voice: "There are some things that you all know in your hearts, so I won't mention them, so as not to leak that tomorrow, the prince should convene the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, and after the meeting, Ah Hu, Hua Hu, you two will lead the cavalry out of the city, wander around the camps of the Qi and Yan armies, compare the Qi army, pay more attention to the Yan army, you know what I mean?" ”

Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Cao Chun, and Cai Cheng nodded.

Of course, they understood Meng Zhong's hint, which was nothing more than trying to find a way to get in touch with Le Yi and Rong Yi.

At this time, Leng Meng Hu opened his mouth and asked, "Ah Zhong, you say, is Ah Yi still the Ah Yi we recognize?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Hu, Le Jin and the others glanced at Meng Hu together, but they didn't say anything, and turned their heads to look at Meng Zhong again.

“”

Meng Zhong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

It's no wonder, after all, Le Yi has been separated from them for nearly two years, during which because Wei and Yan are far away, there is no correspondence, even Meng Zhong doesn't know how Le Yi lived in Yan Kingdom, and even as Meng Hu said, whether it is still the Le Yi they were once familiar with.

But considering the serious release of water by the Yan army during the attack on Tancheng this time, Meng Zhong was more inclined to Le Yi or the Le Yi they knew.

"I believe him." He said.

Hearing this, Hua Hu nodded and said: "Tomorrow, I won't go to the military conference, anyway, it's enough to have you there, I'll go to Yan Jun first to see the situation If Le Yi is still the Le Yi we are familiar with, he will definitely try his best to get in touch with us when he learns that I am coming." ”

"Hmm."

Meng Zhong nodded.

The next day, the crown prince Dai Wu really summoned the generals of Qin, Wei, and Song in the palace in the city to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.

In view of the fact that Meng Zhong reminded the crown prince Dai Wu last night, Dai Wu did not mention anything "The Yan generals on the opposite side, Le Yi and Rong Yi, are our internal responses", only said that the armies of Qin, Wei, and Song were gathered to break the Qi-Yan coalition army.

It is worth mentioning that the crown prince Dai Wu originally hoped that Meng Zhong would command this counterattack, but when he saw Meng Zhong signaling with his eyes, he changed his mind and hoped that Sima Cuo would be in command, otherwise it would be too much to give Sima Cuo, a veteran, face.

With Sima Cuo's experience, of course he could see the inside story, but since the crown prince Dai Wu and Meng Zhong both gave him this face, of course he would not refuse.

After all, Meng Zhong was too young, and finally he resigned from the invitation of the crown prince Dai Wu, and it was still difficult for the position of the commander of the coalition army to fall on Meng Zhong's head, although the generals of the Qin, Wei and Song dynasties all admired Meng Zhong.

It's a matter of seniority, no way.

When the crown prince Dai Wu convened the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, Meng Hu and Hua Hu led 3,000 cavalry to leave the city and went straight to the camp of the Qi and Yan armies.

In order to hide people's eyes, Meng Hu and Hua Hu ordered Cao Chun and Cai Cheng to wander around the Qi army camp with 2,000 cavalry, while they themselves only brought 1,000 cavalry to the Yan army's camp and peeped at the camp from afar.

Yan Jun is not blind, of course he will find this cavalry under the banner of Fangcheng, so he immediately reported to Le Yi.

After learning of this, Le Yi took Rong Yi to the area around the camp gate, and climbed the guard tower to look at the cavalry outside the camp.

I have to say that seeing this Fangcheng cavalry from the position of the hostile party, Le Yi and Rong Yi couldn't help but feel a little complicated, even if their hostile identities were only superficial.

At this time, Meng Hu's voice suddenly came from the cavalry on the opposite side: "Listen to the Yan army on the opposite side, I am Meng Hu, the first fierce general of Fangcheng."

"Wasn't he the first fierce general of Wei before? Why is it getting smaller and smaller? Rong Yi muttered, quite a little unbearable, until he was secretly bumped by Le Yi with his elbow, and then he immediately restrained his smile and made a face.

"Therefore, our army came to support the Song State on the order of the King of Wei, and if you know each other, you will quickly retreat from the land of the Song State, otherwise, our city army will be the opponent of your army, and we will pursue any Yan army that we see" Meng Hu shouted in the distance.

Hearing these words, Le Yi and Rong Yi glanced at each other, and they both understood Menghu's deep meaning.

The rest is all nonsense, even the Song ** team didn't regard his Yan army as an enemy, there is no reason why the army of Wei State is so aimed at the Yan army when it first arrives, right?

The important thing is just that sentence: will take the initiative to pursue any Yan army that it sees.

Isn't this just a hint that he is Le Yi and Rong Yi, pretending to be Yan Jun's scouts to meet them in private?

Without further ado, it's tonight

Le Yi thought secretly.
