Chapter 2042 Creating Division
Chen Sheng didn't embarrass Meng Heilong much. After putting the bamboo slip down, he left freely. Leaving the angry Meng Heilong alone, he was sad. After getting his son's reply, Meng Heilong knew that it was difficult to live. He sighed, and sat down on the ground like a puddle of mud. He has no value anymore, and Qin Jun will not raise him for long. Thinking that when the two armies fought soon, Chen Sheng would inevitably behead him and sacrifice the flag to boost morale.
After dark, the guards guarding Meng Heilong's camp tent were somehow much rarer than before. In the darkness, many black shadows sneaked around the tent, avoiding the sight of the patrolling guards, and quietly came to the front of the tent.
Meng Heilong didn't know how long he had been sitting there, and it wasn't until a guard came in and lit the lamp in his military tent that he got up from the ground and didn't take a bite to eat in front of the Qin army. He had already made up his mind to die and decided to die on a hunger strike to defend his last dignity.
Suddenly, there were a few dull noises outside. Meng Heilong was quite surprised in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it. A moment later, a dark figure lifted a corner of the tent and crept in. Meng Heilong was shocked, but his voice was still calm, and he said in surprise: "Who are you?" At this time, he had already thought that the person who came in might even be a killer sent by his son Meng Qingshan. He knew this son's temper too well, and feared that the Qin army would eventually send him back and jeopardize his position as the new king, and would inevitably take extreme measures to ensure that he, the father, would die. The living Meng Heilong is a disgrace to South Vietnam, but the death of Meng Heilong at the hands of the Qin people can inspire the will of the Yue people to take revenge. Meng Heilong could naturally think that his son had a reason and determination to kill him. He sighed slightly, and it seemed that he couldn't stop thinking about himself.
"The King." The man in black ripped off the black cloth on his face and knelt in front of Meng Heilong on one leg.
Meng Heilong was stunned. The voice of the man in black is a little young, it should be said, he still looks a little immature. He wiped his eyes, approached, and carefully identified the sudden visitor by the light of the butter lamp in the tent. Finding that it was an extremely young and somewhat unfamiliar face, Meng Heilong was even more puzzled and said, "Who are you?" Meng Heilong was confused about the identity of the comer. If someone came to assassinate him, how could they kneel in front of him so respectfully?
"The lowly Tian Peng is General Luo Weihu's personal guard." Tian Peng deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"Luo Weihu?! He's not dead yet? Meng Heilong's body was shocked. After taking a closer look at Tian Peng, he felt that it seemed a little familiar, as if there was indeed a young guard beside Luo Weihu.
"The general has been martyred." Tian Peng's voice was a little choked. He said: "That night, the Qin army attacked the camp, the general died in battle, and I and a group of personal soldiers could only snatch back the general's body and escape from the camp, originally wanting to escape back to Longchuan City, but could not break through the blockade of the Qin army. I could only break it into pieces and hide in the mountains and forests. Later, I heard that the king had also suffered from the poisonous hands of the Qin army, so I decided to rescue the king! The more Tian Peng spoke, the more fluent he became, telling a fabricated story seamlessly. said that in order to save Meng Heilong, how to pretend that the local people joined the Qin army, and then how to explore and explore in the camp, and finally found the place where the Qin army imprisoned Meng Heilong, and finally how to take risks and sneak into the camp with a group of brothers at night to rescue Meng Heilong.
In this story, although there are not many flaws, careful people can still find contradictions after repeated scrutiny. But for Meng Heilong, a person who already had the heart of death, Tian Peng's sudden appearance was his last straw, how could he have time and room for doubt.
Hearing that Luo Weihu's subordinates had such loyal subordinates, Meng Heilong felt extremely emotional. Thinking that he once dominated Lingnan, in the end, he didn't even want his son to go back alive, he was disheartened. Now that Meng Qingshan is in power, he has no place to return to Longchuan.
However, Tian Peng's words also made Meng Heilong's heart burn with a glimmer of hope. Haifeng, one of his henchmen, did not get Meng Qingshan's attention, and Meng Qingshan also ordered him several times to reduce his military power and hand over the 30,000 elite infantry troops under his jurisdiction. Haifeng refused Meng Qingshan's order on the grounds that he wanted to lead the army to rescue Meng Heilong. There was a stalemate between the two. If it weren't for the fact that there was still Qin Jun watching from the sidelines, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but kill Haifeng.
Meng Heilong's eyes lit up. He knew very well that if Haifeng was really loyal to him, then once he appeared, with the 30,000 troops under Haifeng's command and the remnants of the past, he would oust Meng Qingshan from the throne and regain control of Lingnan. Thinking of this, Meng Heilong's eyes swept away the decadent aura of the past, and said in a trembling voice, "Get me out, let's go to Haifeng, and the Lone King will reward you well!" Meng Heilong's voice trembled a little.
"This is our duty, why should the king be rewarded!" A sly smile flashed at the corner of Tian Peng's mouth, but his words were extremely heavy and intense.
……
Standing on the sentry tower, looking at the black shadows fleeing to the river, Chen Sheng couldn't help but laugh. Li Zuoche next to him was very puzzled and said: "If you want Meng Heilong's father and son to turn against each other, can't you just send Meng Heilong back, why do you want to make such a twist and turn?" ”
Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Brother Zuoche, you have a very strategic vision for marching and fighting, but you are only so-so about people's hearts and politics. If we send Meng Heilong back, Meng Qingshan will inevitably imprison him as soon as possible, and then find a reason to let him die violently. Meng Qingshan has already called Wang Chengshi, even if some people are dissatisfied, it will not be able to cause turmoil, so that we can profit from it. But send Meng Heilong to Haifeng. Then the fun will be great. Chen Sheng sneered: "Meng Heilong hates Meng Qingshan to the core, tens of thousands of troops are in hand, why don't you attack Longchuan City immediately?" ”
Li Zuoche sighed. I feel more and more that adults are not only smart, but also insidious and terrifying.
"Strong fortresses often collapse from within." Chen Sheng laughed cruelly and said: "As long as Lingnan has a lifetime of civil strife, not only can we profit from it, but our main army can break through the pass at the minimum cost and drive straight in, and when the time comes, most of the territory of Lingnan will be in no danger to defend!" As long as the logistics grain and grass are properly replenished, at the latest three years, Lingnan can be fully included in the territory of our Daqin! Chen Sheng's voice was sonorous and powerful, which made Li Zuoche listen to it with enthusiasm. Li Zuoche looked at Chen Sheng in surprise, he actually found that this Chen Sheng, who was almost ten years younger than him, exuded a momentum that made him look up!
