Chapter 718: Conspiracy to Stand

In the Wei army camp, Chen Annihilated Hu's decision that the main force of the Jin army was about to return to Yecheng told the Wei army commander and told the Wei army commander to prepare to either return with the Jin army or strengthen the defense of the city.

After the Wei army commander learned that the Jin army of 60,000 horses was going to evacuate Linshui City, he was conflicted in his heart, and he could not withdraw the army at will without receiving Jiang Gan's order, but the main force of the Yan army was stationed in the direction of Xiangguo, and if the Jin army retreated, the 20,000 horses under his command would be under huge defensive pressure.

To this end, the commander of the Wei army ordered his soldiers to step up the construction of fortification facilities on the one hand, and on the other hand, sent his cronies to immediately report the serious changes that occurred in Linshui City to the direction of Yecheng, and asked Jiang Gan to respond immediately.

The 60,000 Jin soldiers and horses in Linshui City, after making some preparations, set off in the afternoon, left Linshui City, and headed for Yecheng.

In fact, it was not only the 60,000 Jin troops in Linshui City who mutinied, but also the 30,000 Guanzhong cavalry in Lin Shucheng, who not only did not suppress it, but instigated his subordinates to revolt, and led 30,000 cavalry to leave Lin Shucheng and rushed in the direction of Yecheng, ready to ask Hua'an for his life, demanding that the Jin court return all the occupied land.

Deng Qiang's army marched for one day, camped near Anyang City, prepared to rest for a day, and continued to march towards Yecheng on the second day.

"General, it seems that the front is the cavalry of my Guanzhong Legion." One of the soldiers said loudly.

Wang Meng looked up and saw the big banner of the word 'Deng' fluttering above the barracks, and understood that this was the camp of the Deng Qiang Army.

"It's strange, isn't General Deng Qiang's army stationed in Lin Shu City? This is Anyang City. It is more than seventy miles away from Lin Shu City, how can the army be here? Wang Meng said suspiciously.

"General, let's go into the camp and ask, maybe we will know." A pro-soldier said.

Wang Meng nodded slightly, and said softly: "Enter the camp with the general, and drive the ......" After speaking, he rode his horse and ran towards the Deng Qiang camp.

The 100 soldiers behind the "...... Driver" rode their horses and followed closely.

"Stop, who's coming." As soon as Wang Meng ran to the gate, he was stopped by several soldiers.

Wang Meng stopped his horse and said loudly: "Why don't you even know the general, get out of the way." ”

"Blind your dog's eye. Even General Wang doesn't know him anymore. "A pro-soldier behind Wang Meng is in the team. A loud reprimand.

At this time, a lieutenant in Deng Qiang's army rushed over, saw that it was Wang Meng, and exclaimed, "General Wang." Then he ordered: "Open the door." Open the gates. After speaking, he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. Prepare to report to Deng Qiang.

The soldier slowly opened the door. Wang Meng and a group of personal soldiers rode into the barracks and went straight to the Chinese army's tent.

"Wait here." Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Meng jumped off his horse. He handed over his mount to his soldiers and strode towards the big tent.

In the Chinese army's big tent, Deng Qiang was discussing with his generals the recent movements of the imperial court, and studying how the imperial court would react if he acted in this way, and how to deal with it.

"General Qiyu, General Wang has arrived outside the big tent." The colonel rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

"General Wang, which General Wang." Deng Qiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, after all, Wang Meng was in Chang'an City, thousands of miles away from Hebei, and he didn't think about Wang Meng at all.

"General Deng, it's the general." At this moment, Wang Meng had already entered the big tent of the Chinese army and greeted Deng Qiang with a smile.

Deng Qiang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Wang Meng enter his Chinese army tent, and hurriedly said, "General Wang, why are you here?" After speaking, he stood up from his throne and walked towards Wang Meng.

Wang Meng smiled and quipped: "General Deng is in charge of guarding Lin Wei City, and now he has come to Anyang City, why can't the general move the place, haha!" He laughed.

Deng Qiang was taken aback, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "General Wang, presumably the reason why you left Chang'an is the same as the reason why the last general left Lin Shucheng, right?" After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng.

When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately understood the reason why Deng Qiang led the army to Anyang City, paused, and said, "General Deng, are you preparing to rebel?" After speaking, he looked at the generals in the tent.

Before Deng Qiang could answer, a subordinate general immediately stepped forward and said with his fists clenched: "General Wang, we have no intention of rebelling, we are just doing this to put a little pressure on the imperial court and return to our fields. ”

"Yes! General Wang, we just want to put a little pressure on the imperial court, if the imperial court does not agree, the last general will have no way to restrain his subordinate soldiers! Another general, with a slight hint of threat in his words.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "With the strength of the generals, as long as you put some pressure on the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely return to all the fields of the soldiers to appease the soldiers and serve the imperial court." ”

"Great, General Wang thinks so too." When the generals heard this, they all looked very happy.

Wang Meng paused, looked at Deng Qiang and the dozen or so henchmen under his command, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, generals, the general hasn't finished talking yet?" Under great pressure, the imperial court will naturally immediately agree to the requirements of the soldiers, but in the future, ordinary soldiers should be fine, and the future of the generals will be extremely worrying. ”

When the generals heard this, they were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and one of the generals hugged his fists and said: "In this case, how should we deal with it?" ”

"General Wang, what should I do?" Deng Qiang also asked anxiously.

Wang Meng's eyes flashed with a gleam, looked at the generals, and said loudly: "Either swallow your anger and do nothing to gain the trust of the imperial court, or resist to the end, so that the Great Jin Imperial Court has no chance to settle accounts after the autumn, and there is no other good way." ”

The generals all looked at each other when they heard this, they just couldn't swallow this breath, and were ready to put pressure on the imperial court in the form of a mutiny to protect their own interests, but now, through Wang Meng's analysis, they found that it was the most stupid to do so, which was tantamount to showing their antipathy to the Great Jin court, and would make the Great Jin court suspicious of them, so that after the limelight passed, they adopted various strategies to eliminate them one by one The generals who participated in the mutiny, so as to stabilize the country and the society of the Great Jin court.

Deng Qiang frowned, looked at Wang Meng, and said: "General Wang, the soldiers are out of control, and if they don't do anything, they will definitely not work, besides, the news of the mutiny of the soldiers has already reached the capital, it seems that there is only resistance to the end, but how to resist to the end, is it to follow Wang Dun and Su Jun to enter Jiankang City?" Please also ask General Wang to make it clear. ”

"Ask General Wang to show me a clear way." All the generals pleaded loudly.

Wang Meng looked at Deng Qiang and said softly: "This matter is confidential, and it must not be leaked before it is completed." ”

When Deng Qiang heard this, he said softly: "General Wang, don't worry, the tent is full of the last general's henchmen, and the general can rest assured." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and asked the generals to move closer to him.

Seeing this, the generals hurriedly got up from their respective positions and approached Wang Meng and Deng Qiang.

Seeing that the generals had come closer, Wang Meng looked at the generals and said softly: "Generals, the generals know that you are from a poor background, and you can only achieve the position of general by virtue of your ability, and you can only achieve the position of general by fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and the scars on the generals' bodies are the best proof, but in the eyes of the children of the scholars, the generals are just a martial artist, therefore, they dare to embezzle the land of the soldiers. If we want to change this situation, we should set up a new monarch and form a court that is not controlled by the scholars, so that the rights and interests of our Hanmen can be guaranteed, I don't know if the generals have this determination. ”

When Deng Qiang and the generals under his command heard this, they looked at each other a few times and nodded.

"General Wang intends to proclaim who is the monarch." A general asked.

"This still needs to be asked, of course it is General Hua, you have forgotten, over the years, General Hua has treated me very well, and the land of the soldiers is also rewarded by General Hua according to merit." Another general immediately said.

"General Hua treats the people well, treats our soldiers well, and his prestige in the army and in the eyes of the people is extremely high, and the last general supports General Lihua as the king." Deng Qiang said loudly.

Wang Meng smiled and said softly: "What the generals said is that judging from the current form, General Hua is the best candidate to support it, but over the years, General Hua has been loyal to the Great Jin Imperial Court, and was demoted by the Great Jin Imperial Court to supervise the military affairs of Liangzhou and Yizhou, without a single complaint, and the general is worried that General Hua will not agree!" After speaking, he sighed slightly.

In Wang Meng's heart, Hua An's mind, prestige, and talent are enough to be the monarch, but he is too stupid and loyal, too kind, and cannot consider the problem from a higher perspective, which makes Wang Meng really disappointed and worried.

When Deng Qiang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "General Wang rest assured, the last general will immediately contact the generals of Yecheng and Linshui City to discuss this matter together, as long as all the generals have made up their minds, even if General Hua does not agree." ”

Wang Meng nodded with satisfaction, and said: "With General Deng's words, the general will be much more relieved, the army will leave early tomorrow morning, and it should be able to arrive in Yecheng before evening, when the time comes, General Deng can plan with the generals, and I will personally persuade General Hua, we will work together, and we will succeed." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Deng Qiang and his generals answered softly.

Subsequently, the generals under Deng Qiang left the Chinese tent and returned to their respective camps to prepare, while Wang Meng stayed in the Chinese tent to discuss with Deng Qiang the details of further operations. (To be continued......)
