Chapter Twenty-Three: Meng Tian in the Mess
"Zhao Tuo! What are you doing here? Seeing Zhao Tuo, who was in the dust, Meng Tian was taken aback. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first thought was that something happened to Xianyang!
"General, the king's mouth! Let you return to Xianyang quickly! Zhao Tuo saluted Fusu and Meng Tian and said.
"Oracle? This is not in line with etiquette! As soon as he heard that it was Jing Er's words, Fusu immediately said in confusion.
The military law of Great Qin is strict, and the generals who go out on the expedition are absolutely not allowed to return to the capital without an order. Normally, if the general who is fighting abroad returns to Xianyang. There will be an approval document from the Taiwei Mansion, and it will be stamped with Jing Er's treasure seal. Now Zhao Tuo has nothing in his hands, only a word from Jing Er. Obviously, there's something wrong with that.
"Zhao Gao united with the little son Hu Hai's mother and son, and blinded the eyes and ears of the king. It seems that there is a rebellion, and the king ordered me to edict the eldest prince and General Meng Tian to lead the troops back to Xianyang. However, the king told him to act in secret, and not to lead more than 50,000 troops. Zhao Tuo's words surprised Meng Tian and Fusu even more, and they didn't believe that the fart boy Hu Hai wanted to rebel. But the girl surnamed Yun, they can't rest assured. In the past two years, they have attracted a lot of people among the courtiers. Once the mother and son rebelled, it means that they already have a complete plan.
"General Meng......! I'll take the troops back to King Qin! After listening to Zhao Tuo's words, Fusu didn't want to delay for a second. It's not for Jing Er's safety, it's because he doesn't want the king's position to be occupied by that little kid brother.
Meng Tian sat down slowly and took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mind. This is a very critical time, and a wrong step will lead to a catastrophe. He was a little puzzled as to why such a big thing. Meng Hao in Xianyang, didn't come to fly pigeons to pass the book? But he heard it in Zhao Tuo's mouth, which couldn't help but make him suspicious. If it weren't for Zhao Tuo being his own person, he would even regard this as a conspiracy of Cloud Key. After all, the woman in Xianyang Palace who called for wind and rain was Yun Key's sister.
"General Meng, you can't wait! Hu Hai has ......! ”
Meng Tian stretched out his hand to stop Fusu from continuing, young people are too impulsive, this impulse is only more than enough to achieve most of the time.
"General Zhao, haven't you seen your brother Meng Hao?" Meng Tian looked at Zhao Tuo and asked.
"The last general came out of Ganquan Palace, and the matter was kept secret and there was no contact with people along the way. Now Zhao Gao is covering the sky with one hand in Ganquan Palace, and the king is surrounded by Zhao Gao's people, and idlers can't see the king. ”
Zhao Tuo said this, Meng Tian understood, Zhao Gao had already blinded the eyes and ears of the king. By the time the king realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. Only then did Zhao Tuo, the general of the forbidden army, come out to spread the word, because as long as the treasure seal was used, Zhao Gao would immediately know about it. If Zhao Gao knew what Zhao Tuo was going out for, then Zhao Tuo would not be able to see him even if he had nine lives.
"General Meng, this son will immediately bring people to ......!"
"No! Tomorrow's meeting cloud key indicates that you and I want to go. Only one person went over, not to tell Yunkey that something happened on our side. When the time comes, how will you bargain with the cloud key. Fusu's second proposal was categorically rejected by Meng Tian. In fact, he is not worried about such a hairy boy leading the army, and Fusu is the most important card in his hand. Meng Tian had to watch it himself, and he couldn't let him go wrong in the slightest.
"General Meng, are you going to negotiate peace with Yun Key?" Zhao Tuo looked at Meng Tian and said in surprise.
"Yes! If the army retreats to Xianyang, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Yun Key. If he took the opportunity to cover up from behind, none of the 400,000 people would be able to return to Xianyang. You must first stabilize the cloud key! Meng Tian said helplessly.
"No, I'll take 50,000 people back to Xianyang first. After the general talks with Yun Key tomorrow, he will chase after him with the eldest prince's light horse. This way you won't be delayed! Zhao Tuo said eagerly. Seemingly, this is also a good idea.
But Meng Tian didn't think so, although Zhao Tuo was his own person. But after all, he was not a general on his side, rashly commanding the army under his command. Domination is a big problem, and Zhao Tuo is passing on Jing Er's message. If you want to leave after the negotiation tomorrow, you can still rely on Zhao Tuo and Tu Sui to make it clear. Tu Sui's attitude was unknown, and Meng Tian didn't want Tu Sui to join in until the last moment.
Meng Tian felt as if he was facing a mess, and he couldn't open that section no matter what. Suddenly, he looked at the lieutenant of the middle army. Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he knew that the knot was untied.
"You immediately set out for Xianyang with 50,000 people, and you have to choose a reliable person who can fight. After tomorrow's meeting with the Cloud Key, I will go after you with the Grand Duke and General Zhao. "Zhao Tuo has a problem with his subordination, but there is no problem with the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy. On weekdays, his orders are conveyed by him. Everyone in the army knows that he is Meng Tian's spokesperson. It was only fitting that he would lead the army back to Xianyang.
Tomorrow we have to reach an agreement with Cloud Key to withdraw our troops anyway, and maybe we will sacrifice some interests. But in the face of the tempting throne, all interests are not a big deal. Meng Tian found the thread and easily untied the mess in his hand.
"No! The last general will go and prepare immediately! "The lieutenant of the Chinese military has followed Meng Tian for more than ten years and knows that the stakes are very high. As soon as he gave up his hand to Meng Tian, he went out to organize the army to return to Xianyang!
"The last will follow ......!" Zhao Tuo also intervened in the salute and wanted to follow the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy.
Meng Tian suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Tuo and said, "General Zhao, don't worry, after you and I have seen the cloud key together tomorrow, let's chase the army together." Meng Tian's heart is also anxious, but he must relieve the future trouble of the cloud key. Otherwise, it is likely that the fox-like cunning cloud key will see the clues, and finally annihilate himself with his ass.
"No!" Meng Tian said this, Zhao Tuo had no choice, so he had to give Meng Tian a deep salute and open his mouth to promise!
Throughout the night, Meng Tian's mind was a mess. After a while, Jing Er had been killed by Zhao Gao, and Hu Hai had already ascended the throne and sat in the palace. The first edict issued was to execute himself, the Tai Lieutenant, and the eldest son Fusu. After a while, he rushed back to Xianyang with a large army and surrounded Ganquan Palace in one fell swoop. wiped out Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's henchmen, and Jing Er was overjoyed and immediately crowned Fusu as the crown prince. He just used a little means to let the king die silently. Then Fusu ascended the throne, and the Meng family gained supreme glory and became the most powerful family in the world.
The next morning, the scout came back with a message. There were no Yun family ambushes near Daiyuling, and even the scouts could see them from afar. In the early hours of this morning, some of the Yun family's cavalry had already begun to retreat. It seems to be in a hurry to retreat! Meng Tian became more and more sure that there must be something wrong with the Western Regions. Otherwise, Cloud Key would never be so eager to return to Pingliang. (To be continued.) )
