Chapter 209: Attacking the Heart
Munch only felt the green muscles in his head beating, and a sense of anger surged in his heart, and he felt the urge to kill.
He knew that there was now intrigue and disputes within the Mengyuan Empire, and the phenomenon of each competing for power and profit was serious. But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that they would unite and cooperate in the face of the country's righteousness, but he didn't expect that he still guessed wrong after all.
They didn't care at all about whether they could attack Tanggu County, and even if they captured Xining City, what they considered was how much benefit they could get.
One by one, they can't work hard, otherwise why would a small Tanggu County be besieged by more than 100,000 iron cavalry and not be able to capture it for three whole days?
Munch couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong when he started the war this time. He originally wanted to use this military exploit to improve his status in the imperial court, but he didn't expect that the generals who went out one by one were grinding foreign workers and playing soy sauce.
It is his own pro-army who has been fighting bravely on the front line, especially since he has even sent the cowardly Xue army to the front line, not to mention that his favorite sister is also leading the army to fight on the front line.
However, as the war continued and the casualties of his own pro-army continued to increase, the generals sent by his uncles were still arguing about the lack of food and grass they had allocated, saying that the sergeants were not enough to eat, and the war horses were unable to go to the battlefield, so they kept dragging on the main force and did not let the main army go out.
"Humph! It's a big joke. In the past, when the Mengyuan army went out, which time did the soldiers not prepare their own food and grass? Unexpectedly, his kindness in providing food and grass this time has become an excuse for them to be unwilling to fight!
It seems that they also made a mistake and were too eager to achieve results, but let them seize the excuse and use it to threaten. But do you really think that with the protection of my royal uncles, you can do whatever you want?
You dare to be so rude to me, and when I take Xining, I will clean up you clowns who don't know what to do one by one! ”
Meng Ke secretly hated in his heart, but he said silently on the surface: "I will say again, in the future, if Xining is captured, the distribution of all property will be judged by their respective military exploits. Whoever took the lead in taking Tanggu County today, I will give him the first credit! If you dare to play clever again, you will delay the fighter, and I will not be spared. ”
The commanders and captains glanced at each other one by one, and saw the look of fear in each other's eyes. The Great Khan has made it very clear today that he is going to come to the real thing, and if he really continues to be perfunctory like this, I am afraid that he will really give away his head.
The people replied in unison, "Follow the Great Khan's commands." ”
Munch nodded, and commanded in a deep voice: "Withdraw all the troops today, cut down trees for me, and build a large ladder for running horses." I want to be able to attack the city directly from below. ”
"Great Khan, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be completed in a moment and a half, but it will take three or five days to complete. The point is that Zhonggang will not sit idly by and watch us build such a large ladder. Zuo Xiang Yelu Zijin stood up and said.
Munch waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans." will find a way to transfer Zhong Gang and part of Zhong Jiajun out of Tanggu County first, so we must seize this opportunity and take Tanggu County in one fell swoop while Zhong Gang is away. ”
The crowd rejoiced, "No! ”
After Munch asked them to go out and prepare, he turned to Sanger who was sitting silently and smiled bitterly, "Master Sanger, let you see the joke." ”
"Amitabha, how can life be perfect, if you can really do this, then it is not a person, but a Buddha. The Great Khan doesn't have to mind, as long as he does his own thing. ”
Munch straightened his sleeves, bowed to Sanger, and said, "What the master taught is that I am too demanding, and people's hearts are already changeable, so how can I ask everything to be as I wish." ”
Sanger clasped his hands together and smiled, "I don't know if the Great Khan has orders?" ”
Meng Ke said solemnly: "I have something to trust, and I hope that the master will help." ”
"Great Khan, please?"
"I have a secret letter in my hand, and I want to ask Master Sanger to hand it over to the Xiliang Gongzhong Gang. Looking at the entire military camp, I am afraid that only the master has such strength to help me do this safe and sound. ”
As a disciple of the world's four great martial saints, the Living Buddha Ba Sipa, Sange is full of martial arts, even if he cannot be included in the list of super-first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, he is still between first-class masters and super-first-class masters.
If Meng Ke asked him to assassinate Xiliang Gong Zhonggang, maybe he didn't have that ability, but just sending a letter would not be a problem at all.
Sanger was silent for a moment, and resolutely replied, "Good! ”
……
……
The night was dark, and the crescent moon in the sky was obscured by a dark cloud that would not shed even the last rays of light.
The castle head of Tanggu County is still lit with torches, lighting up the nearby night sky. Except for a few soldiers on duty, most of them leaned against the battlements with their spears in their arms.
It's rare that Meng Yuanjun didn't attack, and if he didn't take the opportunity to sleep, his eyes were about to be opened. Suddenly, a soldier on duty felt something flying overhead, turned around, and whispered in the direction where the shadow had disappeared: "Who is it?" ”
Although his voice was not loud, he still woke up the old soldier who was sleeping next to him, and he asked vigilantly: "What's the situation, is Meng Yuanjun here again?" ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "Captain Wu, I, I seem to feel something flying overhead?" ”
The Wu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back against the wall, closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Boy, don't make too much of a fuss. It's not like the night owl flew by, as long as it wasn't the Meng Yuan army who came to sneak attack, it would be fine. ”
The soldier hurriedly apologized, "Captain, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." ”
The captain waved his hand, ignored him, and fell back to sleep.
In the city, Zhong Gang was sitting in the study of the county government, staring closely at a map of Liangzhou in front of him, falling into deep thought. Suddenly he heard the window creak, and he looked back to see a figure standing outside.
Zhong Gang shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?" ”
"Amitabha Buddha ......" A faint Buddha horn came into Zhonggang's ears, but it strangely did not alarm others.
"Secrets?" Zhong Gang frowned and said, "Who is Your Excellency, please come in and talk about it?" ”
Zhong Gang grabbed the sword placed on the desk, hurried to the window, waved his right palm violently, and a huge palm wind opened the window, only to see a monk wearing a red and yellow monk's robe standing outside.
"Poor monk Snowy Realm Divine Palace Sange, I have seen Xiliang Gong." Sanger clasped his hands together and saluted Zhonggang.
"Snowy Shrine?" Zhong Gang frowned, and said in a respectful tone: "But the Snowy Divine Palace where the Living Buddha Ba Si Pa is located? ”
Sanger nodded and said, "Yes, the family teacher is none other than the Great Treasure Dharma King Ba Sipa. Tonight, by the order of the Great Khan of Munch, I have come to send a letter to the Duke of Xiliang. ”
Sanger grabbed the secret letter from his bosom, and with a flick of his wrist, the envelope spun several times in the air, and appeared in front of Zhongzuna.
The fingers of Zhong Gang's right hand flicked several times in the air, eliminating the force on the envelope, and the scabbard of his left hand lightly caught the secret letter.
Sange smiled slightly, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Since Xiliang Gong has accepted it, then the poor monk will leave first." ”
Zhong Gang said lightly: "Master walk slowly, when you see the Living Buddha in the future, please help Zhong say hello." ”
A faint voice came, "Xiliang Gong rest assured, the poor monk will definitely bring it." ”
