The two cities of Mengjin and the north and south have changed hands several times, the city wall is still intact, and the impact of the military disaster can hardly be seen.

Soon after entering the city, news came from the north bank that a group of soldiers of unknown origin was watching from a distance, and after discovering the Wu and Shu banners on the city, they immediately retreated.

It seems that it is the enemy army, Ma Wei secretly admired the vision of King Wu, and immediately arranged to defend the city, the river ice is melting, and it can no longer carry heavy objects, for the sake of insurance, Ma Wei still sent people to monitor the flat places upstream and downstream, in order to prevent the enemy from smuggling.

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that the king of Shu had been placed under house arrest by the king of Wu, and his subordinates were naturally not trusted, so Ma Wei transferred all of them to the southern city as a backup, and ordered the Liang army to guard the northern and southern cities.

The enemy did not appear again, and in the evening, a messenger came from outside the city, and the soldiers guarding the gate recognized him as someone from King Jin's side, and immediately reported it to King Liang.

Ma Wei was taken aback, ordered the messenger to be put in, and went downstairs to greet him himself.

Liu Youzhong finally dismounted, his face was not tired, his face was full of spring breeze, and he smiled at Ma Wei: "It turned out that King Liang was sitting here, and I also said that from a distance, the sky above this city was shrouded in colorful clouds, as if there was the air of a king." ”

Knowing that Liu Youzhong's words were untrue, Ma Wei still smiled, it didn't matter if he believed it or not, as long as the people around him cared, he had to thank Liu Xiangshi for his face-to-face praise, "My eyelids have been moving today, I expected that there would be distinguished guests, and seeing that the sky was about to darken, I finally looked forward to it." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and went upstairs hand in hand.

After greeting each other, Ma Wei asked: "It seems that the king of Jin has safely crossed the river and returned to the state, how is Jinyang?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words, I did cross the river, but I didn't go to Jinyang, and the Jin army stopped not far from here."

Ma Wei's heart moved, and he still had a smile on his face, "Where don't we meet at the end of the world, since the King of Jin left, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and King Wu often said that he knew that the siege of the eastern capital could be lifted so quickly, and he should have left the King of Jin at the beginning, and after the victory, the army went together to save Jin Yang and help the King of Jin." ”

The two kings of Liang and Jin attacked each other in the eastern capital, and to the point of life and death, Ma Weiti did not mention it, as if the two were still close allies.

Liu Youzhong didn't break it in the end, and said with a smile: "The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the Jizhou army would be so vulnerable?" It is said that King Wu picked up a gun and mounted a horse and assassinated the general with his own hands before the battle, but is there such a thing? ”

"Haha, Mr. Liu doesn't know King Wu, how can he believe such hearsay?"

"There are so many people who say it, I can't help but believe it, of course I don't believe it all, I just think it...... King Wu got this ruthless hand. ”

"Lou Wen was killed by Empress Dowager Luan."

"This ...... It's true? Liu Youzhong finally showed a shocked expression.

"Undoubtedly, I didn't believe it at first, and I personally asked the people who were there at the time, and I had to believe it. Even if it wasn't Empress Dowager Luan who held the knife herself, it was the people around her who did it. ”

"How could the general be ......"

"You should know Lou Wen's personality best."

Liu Youzhong was a frequent visitor to the Loufu, and the general had nothing to say to him, remembering the past, he sighed, "The general was destroyed in a 'color' word after all, and he was a little bolder, and he actually moved the queen mother's mind." The Queen Mother is out of line? ”

"Haha, Mr. Liu also cares about this kind of thing?"

"Hey, I'm afraid no one doesn't care."

"I don't know, the Queen Mother is also fateful, abandoned by her own son, coveted by Lou Wen, and she didn't escape by killing people, it is said that she was snatched away by Ning Baoguan, and her life and death are unknown."

Liu Youzhong was shocked and shook his head again and again, "The chaos of the world is the time when we are the warriors who use force, and it is also our nightmare, in the past, we could see what happened five or ten years after the Qing Dynasty, but now, it is difficult to say what will happen in three days." For example, this encounter with King Liang was completely unexpected by me. ”

"To be honest, I was surprised too." Ma Wei said lightly, glancing at the surrounding guards and trusted generals, and had no intention of expelling anyone.

Liu Youzhong also saw it, and said: "There are things I don't know about in the east, and there are also changes in Hebei that surprised King Liang." ”

"Oh? King Jin in distress? Jinyang lost? ”

"Haha, no, King Jin is wise and martial, God blesses, and he can always turn evil into good fortune."

"If this is the case, the person who now owns the eastern capital should be the king of Jin, not the king of Wu."

"The world is undecided, and anyone owning a city and a place is temporary, and it can't be counted."

"Mr. Liu, let's talk about the changes in Hebei."

"King Jin has long been on guard against He Rong's department, so he sent Zhou Yuanbin north in advance, which is too timely and important. Several generations of the Zhou family have been in contact with He Rongbu, trade, marriage, and friendship, and Zhou Yuanbin can be called brothers and sisters with Lord He Rongbu. He Rongbu came to attack Jinyang, and Zhou Yuanbin went to meet the enemy alone, and counted the treachery of He Rongbu in person, persuaded them to retreat, and saved the entire Jinyang. ”

"Really...... It's hard to believe. Ma Wei said with a smile, and Liu Youzhong's unashamed bragging was not taken seriously.

Liu Youzhong's face was not red, and he continued: "He Rongbu was ashamed in his heart, not only retired from the army, but also lent 50,000 soldiers to the Shen family, which can be regarded as reparation. ”

Ma Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Fifty thousand He Rong cavalry? ”

"Exactly, exactly fifty thousand."

"Hehe, in this way, there are more cavalry in the Jin army than there are soldiers in the Jin army, and the king of Jin is ...... Surrendered to He Rongbu, bowed down to the ministers, and became the general of the Northern Captivity, right? It's really an accident, I couldn't imagine it at all, and King Wu couldn't even more so that King Wu thought that King Jin could divide Qinghua Yi and block the people who controlled the strings for the Central Plains. ”

The lord was humiliated, Liu Youzhong still did not change his face, and said with a smile: "Borrowing soldiers is borrowing soldiers, and you can't turn against the guest." What's more, there are a lot of people in the Jin army, after the king of Jin crossed the river, all over the country enthusiastically sent troops and food, and now there are 100,000 people in the Jin army alone, and the cavalry of He Rong is just an embellishment. ”

"150,000 Jin troops, remarkable. I don't know why these hundreds of thousands of people stopped near Mengjin? ”

"To help, of course."

"How can you help?"

"Why did King Liang come to Mengjin?"

"Revisit the old place and see the scenery."

"Haha, King Liang laughed. If you want to talk about the scenery, Mengjin is really good, and when the spring begins, the scenery is particularly good, not only King Liang likes it, but everyone in the world likes it, and they line up to watch it. ”

"I'm here, King Jin is here, is there anyone else?"

"And the people of Jizhou."

"Is there anyone else in Jizhou?"

"That's why it's unexpected, Jizhou has collected 100,000 soldiers and horses from nowhere, and they are rushing to Mengjin, not far from here."

"Wang Tiemei is dead, who will be the general of this Jizhou army?" Ma Wei doesn't care about the number of troops, he only cares about who the coach is.

"King Liang didn't expect it, even I was surprised when I heard it for the first time, Yecheng actually found the former Jizhou Mu Shouhuang Fukai to be the commander."

The number of troops is usually imaginary, but the identity of the coach is difficult to fake, Ma Wei was really a little surprised when he heard this answer, "Didn't Huangfu go to Liaodong?" ”

"It is said that he left his son in Liaodong and led his troops south, but somehow, he was persuaded by Yecheng to join forces with Jizhou to go south to avenge the defeat of the eastern capital."

"It was the Jizhou Army that was defeated, what does it have to do with Huangfu Kai?"

"After all, he was the shepherd of Jizhou, and Wang Tiemei was his subordinate in the past, probably because of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox."

"Hey, Huangfu Kai is indeed an old fox."

"Not only that, I heard that the Sheng family in Huaizhou also sent troops to the west, at least 100,000 people are already on the way, don't go to Mengjin, go straight to the eastern capital, Jingzhou Xi family seems to have taken a step ahead and is about to kill the eastern capital."

"The people who send them to death are always in a hurry." Ma Wei did not mention that the Jingzhou army was indeed about to reach the eastern capital.

"Liang Wangguo has the wind of a king, and he is shocked, admired, admired."

"It's not that I'm shocked, but King Wu has already expected all this and formulated a clever plan to break the enemy, otherwise, why did I lead the army to Mengjin?" Mavi has to brag about it, too.

Liu Youzhong nodded again and again, "The wisdom of King Wu is unparalleled in the world, but the wisdom is invincible to the strength after all, and the King of Jin is worried that King Wu is in danger, so he specially came to help." ”

"I am grateful to King Jin for King Wu, but there is no need, the armies of Wu and Liang are enough, and there is still chaos in King Jin's hometown, so let's go home first and solve our own problems."

"Jinyang is still safe. Wu and Liang armies? Where did the Shu army go? The spies clearly said that there were still Shu flags in the city during the day. ”

"It turns out that those people are Jin Jun, they really see the outside, and they don't come in to rest when they get to the city. The Shu army is still there, and the king of Shu was left by the king of Wu to be in charge of the scribes, which can be regarded as a book. ”

Liu You's finish line, "The King of Shu was born as a small official and is not good at fighting, but the King of Wu knows how to make good use of it." In this way, King Wu and King Liang really don't need help? ”

"No, I don't."

"Then King Jin can rest assured."

"The king of Jin is going north, forgive me for not being able to send him off."

"Hehe, I've already said it, Jinyang turned the corner, King Jin is not in a hurry to go back, there is nothing to do, we will stop not far away, watch the decisive battle between King Liang and the Jizhou army, and cheer for King Liang."

Ma Wei laughed, "Thank you, wait for the Liang army to win, and give some of the spoils to the Jin army, so that the Jin king will not shout in vain." ”

"Don't want the spoils of war, and when the Liang army wins, the king of Jin will also give a big gift to reward the soldiers to help the army."

"Mr. Liu went back to persuade King Jin, the world is difficult, money and food are rare, let him save some money, don't slap a swollen face and become fat, reward the soldiers of other families, and starve his subordinates, isn't it chilling?"

"Although Bingzhou is not the richest in the world, there is still this savings, let alone an army of 150,000, that is, 300,000 or million, and it can be raised. But King Liang should be more careful. ”

"I've won a lot of battles, I've had plenty of grain and grass, and I've even used rice millet to feed the horses, what do I have to be careful about?"

"Be careful of King Wu."

"Hehe, I'm a brother with King Wu, so I don't need to be careful."

"King Wu and King Jin were once sworn brothers, so what?"

"It's King Jin who should regret it."

"Really? I've heard that King Wu was soft-hearted for a while before the battle, and forgave Ning Baoguan's life, what was the result? Ning Baoguan set fire to tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, causing King Wu to lose face. To tell the truth, the King of Jin was quite embarrassed at that time, and it was thanks to King Wu that he entangled the officers and soldiers before the King of Jin left safely. King Wu was soft-hearted twice, and twice unsatisfactory, he must be extremely remorseful, and from now on, his heart will be as hard as iron, and he will not tolerate the slightest mistake. ”

Liu Youzhong got up, ready to say goodbye, and said with a smile: "As long as King Liang doesn't make a mistake, he doesn't have to be careful, if there is a mistake, even if it's just a little - the Jin army camp is even across mountains and rivers, how can King Liang find it." ”

"You are more familiar with Meng Jin's path, and I am here to wait for King Jin at any time."

The two quarreled with each other, Liu You finally said goodbye and left, Ma Wei ordered people to send him outside the city, and immediately sent more scouts to Jizhou and Huaizhou to check the enemy's situation.

Even if only half of what Liu Youzhong said was true, it would be a storm beyond Ma Wei's expectations, and deep down, he was indeed a little panicked.
