In this world, there are many people who share wealth and wealth, and few people who share hardships.

Especially in troubled times, this is especially true. Etiquette collapsed, and the morality and etiquette that the rulers of the Han Dynasty tried to shape for 400 years have long been corrupted.

In troubled times, strength is king, and at this time, power is a catalyst, and once it is contaminated, it cannot be quit. The supremacy of interests will become the criterion for judging everything.

The lack of morality, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, forgiveness, and courage have become words in the depths of people's memory.

Such thinking permeates the entire Central Plains, and no country can be an exception, which naturally also affects these people under the command of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao.

Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng and others each have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, planning for their own interests, compared with the interests of Zhao Wang Lu Bu, they attach more importance to the interests in their hands.

This is the nature of human beings, benevolence, righteousness and morality are just a slogan, and only interests are the most real.

They don't have the faith to keep festivals at all, and they don't want to be martyrs of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao. At this moment, there was an undercurrent surging in Xiangyang City, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the whole city.

The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is full of buildings, which is a true portrayal of this moment.

……

In Hao's mansion, Hao Meng was anxiously walking, and today he came to test Hou Cheng in front of everyone, but was opposed by Hou Cheng.

From this point, he knew that he and Hou Cheng and the others might not be able to go all the way. The current situation is obvious, and Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, is far away in Luoyang.

Xiangyang City is in danger, although there are 100,000 troops in the city, they are all in the hands of Hou Cheng and others, and he has no say in the entire team.

Because of this, Hao Meng had a different idea in his heart.

"Rifle."

"Sir."

After taking a deep look at Laifu, Hao Meng's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and said: "Immediately invite General Cao and General Song to the mansion, and the old man will celebrate his birthday!" ”

"No."

Nodding in promise, Laifu turned around and left, he knew in his heart that his birthday was just an excuse, as the housekeeper of the Hao Mansion, Laifu knew this very well.

"Your Majesty, you put the last general aside, the last general of the 100,000 Zhao army can't lead a battalion alone, then don't blame the last general......"

Wealth is in danger, since Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, can't give it to himself, Hao Meng naturally won't fight with him until the last moment.

At this time, Hao Meng was actually outside the core edge of Zhao State. is also a top eight general, Hou Cheng holds an army of 100,000 and respects others above, while Hao Meng has no real name, which makes him dissatisfied in his heart.

Because of this, Hao Meng had the intention of betrayal.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters to do things, which is an immutable theorem for eternity. Zhao Wang Lu Bu gave up Hao Meng and gradually became estranged, which made Hao Meng feel sensitive.

……

"General Hao's birthday, just a small courtesy is not a tribute......."

Since the mansions of Hao Meng and the others were not far away, in a short period of time, Cao Xing and the others arrived.

"General Cao, General Song is polite!"

The tiger's eyes flickered, and Hao Meng instructed the housekeeper to accept the gift, motioned to Song Xian and Cao Xing, and said: "The two of you came from afar, I will be grateful, please come inside!" ”

"General Hao, please!"

After the host and guest greeted the ceremony, the group came to the hall, Hao Meng ordered the blessing wine and food to be put on the table, and the singer posed and began to be in the snow.

After a burst of singing and dancing, everyone also drank three rounds and had five flavors of food, Hao Meng waved his hand to let the singer and Laifu retreat, and the atmosphere in the entire hall changed.

"General Hao, you are ......"

Cao Xing's face changed slightly, and he knew from the beginning that there was something strange about this matter.

Because the eight generals know each other very well, they naturally know that Hao Meng's birthday today is just a pretense. Because of this, when they drank just now, everyone didn't dare to drink more.

Now that the 100,000 Qin troops outside the city are eyeing each other, the situation in the Zhao State is in danger, and this feeling is most obvious among their high-level leaders.

"General Cao, General Song, today is not Hao's birthday, the reason why I did this is just to invite the two generals to come over to the house."

……

Hao Meng's words suddenly changed the atmosphere in the entire hall again.

Just now, I was still drinking wine and eating meat to watch the beauties, and I had a panoramic view of the wind and snow, but at the moment, it was involving state affairs, and no one was allowed to slack off.

"I don't know what General Hao asked me to come, what is the so-called matter?"

Youdao knows his own family affairs, and Cao Xing and others are also worried about their own situation, and they can't find a suitable solution for a while.

It's just that compared with Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others are more determined to move and seek stability.

……

Hearing this, Hao Meng was ruthless in his heart, he knew that the matter had come to this point, and he had come to this point, and there was no way out.

At this moment, only his teeth were clenched, and he continued to walk with the ruthlessness of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

"Two generals, I don't know what you think of the current situation, do I have a chance to unify the country in Zhao Kingdom?"

Being able to become one of the eight strong generals, alongside Zhang Liao, Zangba and others, and leading the coquettish for a while, is enough to show Hao Meng's extraordinary.

With a roll of his eyes, he almost said a word lightly, and handed the topic to Cao Xing and Song Xian without a trace, and at this moment, the initiative once again fell into the hands of Hao Meng.

"Hiss......"

Hearing Hao Meng's words, the two of them couldn't help but gasp, what shocked them was not that Hao Meng changed his concept and grasped the initiative, but the meaning behind Hao Meng's words.

From Hao Meng's words, they could feel the strong unwillingness of the other party and the urgency to change their situation.

Song Xian and Cao Xing glanced at each other, a fierce color flashed in the depths of their eyes, they both knew one problem, that is, their situation was not much different from Hao Meng.

100,000 Zhao troops guarded Xiangyang, all in the hands of Hou Cheng alone, they were the same as Hao Meng, they only belonged to the empty shelf, and they couldn't even mobilize a single soldier.

……

"For example, today, when Qin Gong Yingfei is the strongest, he is eyeing the tiger, he sits in the land of his hometown, and there are many military generals under his command, and those who dominate the world are the best Qin Gong Yingfei!"

Cao Xing's thoughts flickered in his heart, and he was silent for a long time before he said what was in his heart to the two. They all knew in their hearts that this battle of Zhao was more auspicious than lucky.

"Hmm."

Bowing slightly, Hao Meng also agreed with Cao Xing's words, because this is simply a consensus of the whole world.

"Now the king and the Duke of Qin are in Luoyang, and we are in Xiangyang with the three major generals of the Qin State, so it can be seen that the layout of the Duke of Qin Yingfei is to annex the Zhao State in one fell swoop, and not give us the slightest chance."

Hao Meng flashed a gleam in his eyes, and took a deep look at Song Xian and Cao Xing, and said.

"Now that the Xiangyang army is in the hands of Hou Cheng, we are simply empty shelves......"
