043 The best is yet to come
The rebels were about 10,000 people, and the open space outside the imperial city was full, quite imposing, and Sun Qingchun, who was the leader, looked proud, as if he had eaten the royal family.
As soon as Meng Qi arrived, Liu Neng's custom planks and Guo Da also arrived.
Meng Qi patted the plank a few times, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Guo Da again, and said with a smile: "Lord Guo, I will open your eyes today." ”
Guo Da was expressionless and did not squeak, just lying on the stretcher and looking at the rebels in the distance.
Meng Qi turned his head, squinted at the crowd of rebels on the opposite side, and sighed lightly: "Hey, these are all comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with me before, but now they are standing on the opposite side of me. ”
"Your Majesty, do you abdicate Mingzhe to protect yourself, or let the old minister put the sword on your neck and force you to abdicate?" Sun Qingchun shouted at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi smiled lightly: "This guy's face is the same as Feng Xuechuan that day, and it is estimated that the ending is also the same." ”
Zoro smiled cruelly, in his eyes, Sun Qingchun on the other side was already a dead man.
When Wei He heard Meng Qi mention Feng Xuechuan, his pretty face turned white, and he hugged the black box in his arms again.
Meng Qi glanced at Wei He, then looked at Wei Ying opposite, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, you have really wasted my hard work and betrayed my trust in you." ”
Wei Ying's old face, who was standing next to Sun Qingchun, tensed, and said, "Your Majesty, let my granddaughter come over, and we will spare your life." ”
Meng Qi looked at Wei He and said, "Look at your stubborn grandfather, you are really harming others and yourself." ”
Wei He looked entangled, she didn't expect this to be the case.
Sun Qingchun shouted to Meng Qi, but Meng Qi ignored him directly, but talked to Wei Ying, and this Wei Ying did not discuss with himself, so he privately wanted to exchange the emperor's life for his granddaughter's life, which made Sun Qingchun, as the commander of the throne, feel that he had no face in front of the army, and his face was immediately ugly.
He didn't think much about it, and directly ordered: "Attack!" Violators will be killed! ”
"Wait a minute! My granddaughter is still in the hands of the emperor. Wei Ying shouted.
"You can't let our army be tied down because of one of your granddaughters." Sun Qingchun said in a deep voice.
Wei Ying said: "I joined you to save my granddaughter, and you also promised me before that you would protect my granddaughter." ”
"This time and that time." Sun Qingchun said expressionlessly.
"You!" Wei Ying was so angry that he trembled.
Meng Qi on this side smiled: "There seems to be a quarrel on the other side, let's wait until they are done quarreling before starting a war." ”
"Haha." The soldiers on Meng Qi's side all laughed, and Guo Da, who was lying on the stretcher next to Meng Qi, frowned, not knowing what was in his heart.
As they were talking, there was a sudden sound of marching in the northeast corner of the city, and everyone turned their heads to look and found a wave of about 4,000 men rushing to this side, dressed in cloth clothes and straw hats, and dusty, all of whom looked less like soldiers fighting at war, but more like farmers who farmed the land.
When they got closer, they saw that half of them still had shovels and hoes in their hands, not swords.
This team is naturally the two armies of Longxing and Qinghe who rushed back from the northeast, and the leader is Qin Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Qin Zhi led the army to Meng Qi, hugged his fists and said: "It's too late to save the driver, please forgive your majesty." ”
Meng Qi said strangely: "They are..."
"Oh, when I heard that the rebels were besieging the city, I immediately rushed back with my troops, and the place where the weapons were stored was a mess, so many people did not have swords, and they did not have time to change their clothes." Qin Zhi explained.
Meng Qi nodded helplessly, although with the addition of these two armies, the number of people on Meng Qi's side has increased greatly, and it does not seem to be weak, but such a team really does not look like it can fight.
This will change to Sun Qingchun's team on the other side, laughing.
"Your Majesty, are you here to fight or to farm?" Sun Qingchun couldn't help but sneer.
Meng Qi sneered: "Even if they are not equipped with weapons, they still have the strength to fight. ”
Sun Qingchun sneered and said: "Your Majesty, I advise you to surrender directly, I now agree with Lord Wei's opinion, as long as you surrender and send Lord Wei's granddaughter Wei He over intact, we can spare your life." ”
Meng Qi sneered, this Sun Qingchun saw that Meng Qi suddenly added 4,000 troops on his side, so he didn't want to go to war directly, and wanted to lure Meng Qi down.
"Say a fart and surrender, it's not certain who wins and who loses in this battle." Meng Qi said in a deep voice.
After a short confrontation between the two armies, the sound of marching suddenly sounded in the south, and everyone turned their heads to look again, and found that it was the Zhao family's Beiliang army, and it was Zhao Qian's eldest son, Zhao Yun, who led the Beiliang army at this time.
When Meng Qi saw it, he couldn't help frowning, at this time, Zhao Yun led the troops to join in the fun, didn't he know that his father was still in my hands?
Guo Da next to him saw it and raised the corners of his mouth.
The Beiliang army marched to the junction of the two armies of Meng Qi and Sun Qingchun and stopped, Zhao Yun wore a long sword at his waist and looked at Emperor Meng Qi with cold eyes.
Meng Qi shouted: "You melon baby, what the hell are you doing here?" Don't you know that your dad is still locked up in prison? ”
Zhao Yun ignored Meng Qi, and just put on a look of hatred and bitterness.
Meng Qi couldn't help but be a little strange, what kind of trick did this Zhao Yun smoke.
Sun Qingchun on the opposite side is also watching, he is waiting for Zhao Yun to decide on his own belonging, if he is on the side of the royal family, then this war is really difficult to win or lose, if Zhao Yun is on his side, then the emperor Xiao'er will die.
At this time, a few people suddenly ran out of the imperial city and rushed to Meng Qi's side, Meng Qi looked at it and was surprised to find that it was Zhao Dagen and 11 people from the local branch.
When he saw Zhao Dagen's sad and indignant expression, he knew that something was wrong.
"What's going on?" Meng Qi clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Qian, Lord Zhao... He's dead. Zhang Dagen said hatefully.
"Damn!" Meng Qi couldn't help but scold.
"What the hell is going on? With you and eleven of them here, how could Lord Zhao be in trouble? ”
Zhang Dagen said in a deep voice: "Just now, the housekeeper of the Zhao family brought people to rob the prison and tried his best to persuade Lord Zhao to leave with them, but Lord Zhao insisted that if he did not find out the truth, he would not take a step out of the prison, we all knew Zhao Qian's character, so we didn't care, just when we relaxed our vigilance, among the people who came to the rescue of the Zhao family, someone suddenly shot and killed Lord Zhao." ”
"You mean, the killer is mixed in the rescue team led by the Zhao family's housekeeper?" Meng Qi's eyes widened.
"Yes! Otherwise, we wouldn't be careless. Zhang Dagen said regretfully.
Meng Qi seemed to know something, and he turned his head sharply to look at the commander of the Northern Liang Army, Zhao Yun.
"You madman, you can do such a thing as killing your father!"
Zhao Yun ignored it and walked directly to Sun Qingchun's camp with the army.
Sun Qingchun was overjoyed and said: "Zhao Gongzi joined, our army is like a tiger with wings, and this battle will be won." ”
Zhao Yun nodded and did not speak.
Sun Qingchun looked at Meng Qi proudly and said, "Your Majesty, now who loses and who wins, you can make a decision." ”
There are about 6,000 people on Meng Qi's side, of which 4,000 are still peasant equipment, and there are 15,000 troops on the opposite side, including the Beiliang army with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Strength and weakness at a glance.
Guo Da, who was beside Meng Qi, laughed at this time, with a smug look.
Zoro couldn't help but draw his sword, ready to kill Guo Da directly, Meng Qi stretched out his hand again to stop it, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, the best is still to come." ”
