Dongfang Yongbai and Pu Qinghong and I were planning how to attack the next Shandong county, when a herald came: "Report!" Shandong sent someone over! We checked it, and it was indeed from Shandong, and it was Kong Youli's assistant staff back then, and the fourth imperial official of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Dongfang Yongbai frowned and said, "Bring it up." ”

A man came up. As soon as he came up, he arched his hand and said: "Brother Dongfang Yongbai, Brother Chen Ju, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Miss me! ”

Wow! The people all looked at each other with puzzled faces.

The man was in his thirties, with a full beard, not tall, and thick limbs.

I haven't seen him, have I?

Dongfang Yongbai pointed at him and said, "It's familiar...... But can't remember. Where have we met? ”

The man said, "Ah! Where do you big warriors remember us little warriors? Supposedly, we are still classmates, but we are not in the same department. I am a graduate of the Confucianism Department of Honghua in the sixteenth year of the Imperial University, and Senior Brother Yongbai is a graduate of the Military Department of the Honghua in the fifteenth year of the Imperial University. Later, I stayed at the Imperial University to teach, and I often saw Brother Chen Ju coming to the school to audit, but you didn't listen to my class, brother. ”

Wow, this relationship, it's so reluctant!

He smiled and immediately said, "Ha! Forgot to introduce yourself. My name is Meng Huajian, and I used to be Kong Youli's assistant staff, and now I am the commander of the First Army of the Confucian Army. ”

The Confucian Army is a newly established army the year before last, and it is the apologetic army of Confucianism, and Kong Zhilun is the commander. Kong Zhilun was the second son of the Confucian leader Kong Youli, and I often met him at the Ming court, and was just appointed as a Confucian supervisor last year. Kong Zhilun is quite difficult to deal with, and he is a ruthless character at first glance.

Dongfang Yongbai stared at him up and down and said, "What are you doing here?" Climb the relationship or surrender? Or is it a war book? ”

Meng Huajian walked to the map of Daming on the wall, looked at it with a smile for a while, turned to us and said, "Kong Zhilun asked me to give you a suggestion. The Shandong army is the army of Confucius's grandson, the Confucian army is the army of Kong Zhilun, our Confucian army defeats the Shandong army with you, Kong Zhilun controls Shandong, and you get the Yellow River and the Yellow Sea two counties. What do you think? ”

When he said this, everyone gasped!

Dongfang Liang pointed at Meng Huajian: "Treacherous!" Do you think we'll believe you? ”

Dongfang Tian: "Damn! You are disloyal and unfilial! You are still from Shandong, you can do this kind of thing! ”

Dongfang Qi: "The Shandong army is millions, and the Confucian military region is hundreds of thousands, how do you fight?" ”

Zhang Kangning: "What are you doing with him?" Just hit it! ”

Pu Qinghong walked up to Meng Huajian, stared at his eyes for a while, and said, "Tell me about your plan." ”

Meng Huajian said to us expressionlessly: "The people of Shandong are fed up with war!" The Jinling War more than 100 years ago, the Eight Emperors War more than 20 years ago, the Prime Minister's War more than 10 years ago, and the Ming and Han Wars in the past few years, every time it was your civil strife, but why did we Shandong have the most deaths? We Shandong people always say that 'the monarch is the minister, the father and the son', but when the 'monarch is not the king', there will be 'the minister is not the minister', and when the 'father is not the father', it will be 'the son is not the son'! We Shandong people are fed up with this kind of foolish loyalty! ”

Me: "You are talking so fary, do you believe it or not?" Your master Kong Zhilun wants to be on the throne, just say it directly, what the hell is 'Shandong', 'Confucianism' and 'loyalty', are you annoyed? ”

Meng Huajian took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Kong Zhilun's handwritten letter." ”

Dongfang Yongbai took it. He lifted the fire seal, tore open the envelope, and looked at it.

Park Qinghong and I also went over to watch.

Kong Zhilun wrote down all his thoughts. He would kill his brother, put his father under house arrest, rebuild the Shandong army, expand the Confucian army, and then consider himself the leader of Confucianism, the governor and overseer of Shandong, and then drive the imperial forces out of Shandong.

The three of us gasped.

Damn, this is what Confucian supervisor Kong Zhilun wants to do! A Confucian person who is a dignified "monarch, minister, father, son, son" wants to do such a thing!

I think he was a little rebellious back then, but it wasn't to this extent! Probably in the past few years, the incident of "Dijing Qicheng" has made him anxious - rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, and people who have been psychologically traumatized are really perverted!

I, Dongfang Yongbai, and Pu Qinghong were in a daze, Meng Huajian took the letter, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Meng Huajian swallowed and foamed again, and said, "I will give you a map, which is the map of the Shandong army's garrison at the mouth of the Yellow River." When the time comes, we'll flank them together. When the major events have been decided, Huanghe County and Huanghai County are yours. ”

Dongfang Yongbai: "At that time, the Shandong army was already finished, what if we have too much appetite and continue to capture other Shandong counties?" ”

Meng Huajian: "We have 600 counties in Shandong, can you occupy them?" Shandong people have always been not afraid of death, are you afraid of death? Besides, what's the use of you occupying other counties? There are a thousand unclaimed counties in the Central Plains, so why don't you take them? So, we're not worried about you at all. ”

Dongfang Yongbai: "But I'm worried about you!" The Yellow River and the Yellow Sea are in the hinterland of Shandong, what if one day your wings are hard and you want to take them back? ”

Meng Huajian: "What do you mean?" Do you want us to swear: The Yellow River and the Yellow Sea will be given to you forever? Even if we swear, what's the use? Do you believe it? Or do we believe? If you are strong, we can't take it back if we want to; If you are weak, don't talk about these two counties, even your own Xiliang and Liaodong can't be saved! Therefore, I will talk about it later, the key is to rely on yourself, not on any agreement or morality! ”

The three of us looked at each other, and we both understood that we were convinced by him.

Dongfang Liang said: "What if Kong Zhilun deceives us? What should we do when the Confucianism Army and the Shandong Army fight us together? ”

Meng Huajian: "Now Kong Zhisun is the governor and overseer of Shandong Province, and he will be the hereditary leader of Confucianism in the future, even if Kong Zhilun deceives you and makes great contributions, what reward does he have?" Can he be the leader? Can he be the Governor and Overseer? The Shandong Imperial Army and the hundred officials of Shandong are loyal to Kong Youli and Kong's grandson, what is the use of Kong Zhilun's meritorious service? He is not the second son of a concubine! ”

Dongfang Tian: "Kong Zhilun betrayed Shandong, isn't he afraid of Shandong and the world laughing?" ”

Meng Huajian: "If Kong Zhilun betrays Shandong, Shandong and the world will indeed laugh." However, when he betrayed Shandong, Shandong was already his, and whatever he said was what he said, who knew about it? People in the world will not know about Kong Zhilun, on the contrary, they will laugh at Kong Zhisun for betraying Shandong and betraying his father, because we will decide what is Shandong, what is his father, what is Kong Zhisun, and what is Kong Zhilun! ”

Everyone looked at him. Obviously, everyone was convinced, but their faces showed disdain.

Meng Huajian continued: "Actually, brother, don't laugh at us, I think it's good. Shandong is much stronger in the hands of Kong Zhilun than in the hands of Kong Youli and Kong Zhisun. I dare to guarantee that as long as Kong Zhilun is here, no one in the world will dare to bully Shandong again! I don't think this is a betrayal, in fact, this is the hope of Shandong! Sooner or later, Shandong will be as powerful as Liaodong and Hebei! ”

Pu Qinghong smiled and clapped her hands: "Ha!" All those who are at odds with the Chang'an court, we all support Liaodong! ”

We glanced at each other's colors.

Dongfang Yongbai: "Let's think about it first, you go back and make preparations, and we keep in touch." ”

Meng Huajian thanked him and left.

It's okay to save the war.

After he left, Ms. Park said, "I think it could be true." ”

Me: "I've long seen that Kong Zhilun is not a good person. ”

Park Qinghong: "You mean, he's lying to us?" ”

Me: "Good and bad are relative. This man is a bad guy himself, but he certainly isn't a bad guy to himself, and he's not a bad guy to us – at least for now. ”

Dongfang Yongbai: "Take this matter seriously for the time being, but don't take it lightly, beware of them." In these days, there are no good people! Ordered all armies to immediately pull out their camps and march eastward. ”

The army then marched forward.

The journey was smooth, but the villages, towns, and even counties we passed were all empty, and there were no regular troops to be seen along the way. However, there are always loyal and brave spontaneous armed forces who come to die.

They are indeed loyal, because we are an army of a million, and this is pure death.

We were moved to fulfill them.

But I'm a little guilty.

However, I feel in my heart that Kong Zhilun has become the new boss of Shandong, which must be a good result for Shandong, at least Shandong will not do some stupid things for the Chang'an Imperial Court. If he had been the boss of Shandong more than 20 years ago, the Qicheng tragedy probably would not have happened, and "our whole family" would not have died tragically.

But I thought about it, if "our whole family" doesn't die, then my father and my mother won't be combined, so I won't even be born? Ah, in this way, do I still have to thank Qian Zhaoding and Kong Youli? Could it be that money is my benefactor?

My head hurts a little and I'm getting back on the horns.

I looked at the Shandong people who were sent to death, and began to feel that they were hindering the progress of history, hindering the strength of Shandong, and hindering the correct future, but a thought came out again: Damn! Who knows what the future holds! Those guys who keep saying "right", you go buy a lottery ticket now, tomorrow you can win the jackpot, and I will admit that there is such a thing as "historical progress", "correct future", and "social inevitability", otherwise give me the fuck off!

Actually, everything is unpredictable!

Ay!
