Chapter 97: Force, Emperor's Heart
Swept away by his cold eyes, most of the people present lowered their heads, not daring to face Meng Yuanheng's eyes, Yao Shangshu, who was the first to propose that King Xuan lead the troops to the expedition just now, trembled in his heart, and his legs trembled a little.
Meng Yuanheng is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and he has become famous all over the world at a young age, and the world has spread that the little son of Xuanwang Mansion has the talent of the world. At the age of 10, he went to the battlefield with his father to kill the enemy, and at the age of 13, he led the troops alone to repel the invasion of tens of thousands of troops of Beidi, and in the following years, he experienced countless battles of all sizes, and at the age of 16, the battle of Jingzhou City, he was an arrow to kill the general of Beidi, He Yuanshan.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, and when he was full of ambition, he encountered a catastrophe and ended up with a broken family and crippled legs. Seven years ago, when this news came, everyone in the world sighed.
It's just that Meng Yuanheng is a person who was unruly and arrogant when he was not injured, and he was even more moody after his legs were disabled.
"What, King Xuan wants to resign? King Xuan's Mansion has always been a family motto to protect the family, defend the country, be loyal to the monarch and love the people, could it be that King Xuan doesn't even care about the family motto? In the middle of the night, Meng Tianluo's gloomy voice sounded in the main hall.
Seeing that there was a big prince to help, Yao Shangshu, who was frightened, instantly straightened his waist and quickly exchanged a look with Meng Tianluo.
Meng Yuanheng knew it. He knew that Meng Tianluo would definitely use this opportunity to push himself into battle.
It seems that Yao Chong, the head of the household, has become Meng Tianluo's person.
Lu Hengshan frowned. This great prince is really not calm enough, and he can't hold his breath so quickly.
Everyone can see that Meng Tianluo has always regarded Meng Yuanheng as a thorn in his side, and he has tried to design harm several times, but now that he says this, it is clear that he wants to embarrass him.
Because of his respect for King Xuan's Mansion, Lu Hengshan said out and said: "If King Xuan feels that his physical condition is unable to go on the expedition, can he recommend other ......candidates?"
"Why bother." Meng Tianluo interrupted Lu Hengshan's words and said with a sneer: "This king has heard that King Xuan has been treating leg diseases these days, and I believe that after so many days, King Xuan's leg disease should be almost cured." ”
"If that's the case, it's really gratifying, then King Xuan is the best candidate to lead troops to reinforce Jinyang Pass this time." Yao Shangshu pretended to be happy and agreed.
"Oh, then Yao Shangshu is talking about it, what's so good about this king?" Meng Yuanheng glanced at him and asked coldly.
Yao Shangshu was swept away by Meng Yuanheng's sharp eyes, but he still couldn't help but be frightened, his face turned red, his upper and lower lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't say a whole sentence.
What a useless thing! Meng Tianluo secretly scolded Yao Chong, and then said loudly: "King Xuan, do you still remember He Yuanshan, the general of Beidi who was shot by you with an arrow seven years ago? ”
Meng Yuanheng's face was unwavering, but Yingting's eyebrows were slightly raised, which was regarded as a response.
Meng Tianluo saw that he didn't care, so he had to go on and say: "The general of Beidi who led the troops to attack Jinyang Pass this time is the son of He Yuanshan, He Liancheng. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.
"I heard that Nahe Liancheng can fight well, and his military talent is not under his father, and he was awarded the title of General of Beidi Protector before he was 20 years old. Beidi sent He Liancheng this time, it must have been imperative, and it is no wonder that Li Cheng will be lost overnight. Master Wen said worriedly.
Everyone was also worried. In fact, although the Dasheng Dynasty was flooded with civil officials, there were not many outstanding generals, and the cavalry was even weaker. Beidi is different, they are nomads, galloping on horses every day, the people are fierce, predatory, and they have always been Dasheng's henchmen.
In the past, Beidi was afraid of the power of Xuanwangfu and did not dare to attack easily, but now, Xuanwangfu is scattered, not as good as before, Xuanwang is disabled and sick, and he lives in a simple house, which is even more difficult to compete with Beidi.
After being silent for a long time, Yao Chong said loudly: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, He Yuanshan was killed by King Xuan with an arrow seven years ago, so He Liancheng may have come to take revenge this time." ”
After speaking, Yao Chong's eyes flickered and glanced at the direction where Meng Yuanheng was.
When everyone heard this, they also felt that there was some truth. In this way, King Xuan has no reason to refuse.
He Liancheng is clearly coming for you, so let you clean up this mess yourself.
As for his feat of shooting He Yuanshan seven years ago, it became less praised for a while.
Alas, who let King Xuan do things so sparingly, if you had been a little merciful back then, and just shot He Yuanshan to serious injury, maybe Beidi would not have attacked so early, and they could still enjoy three years of peace.
If Meng Yuanheng knew what these sanctimonious sour Confucians were thinking, he might be so angry that he would go crazy on the spot and walk away. But apparently he is not in a good mood right now.
He Yuanshan must have nothing to do with the incident in Guinuchuan seven years ago, and He Liancheng is his son, so he must know some inside information. It's just that in the past few years, He Liancheng has been studying art in Tianshan, and he can't find any news from him. Now that he has led the troops to the battle, he must have finished his studies and gone down the mountain.
Thinking of the scene seven years ago when the flames soared into the sky and screamed endlessly, Meng Yuanheng still felt a tingling pain in his heart.
Since He Liancheng has come to the door, does he have to meet him too?
But when did Meng Tianluo's news become so well-informed? Or is he secretly colluding with Beidi?
Meng Yuanheng glanced at Meng Tianluo, who was looking proud, with a light on his face, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, but his face did not show any light.
Just when everyone was thinking about it, Gonggong Li said in a shrill voice: "The holy decree has arrived." ”
Everyone was shocked, and they all knelt down to accept the order.
Gonggong Li stood on the hall, unfolded a volume of bright yellow holy decrees, and read it out loud to everyone.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Now Beidi does not keep the peace treaty, the army invades the territory, seizes my city, and slaughters my people, which is unbearable or unbearable. Meng Yuanheng, the king of Xuan, was specially sent to lead 50,000 troops, and set out on the same day to reinforce Jinyang Pass, so as to protect our city and strengthen the prestige of our country. ”
Shen Qianmo really couldn't figure it out, couldn't this dignified Sheng Dynasty really find a general, why did he still have to hit Meng Yuanheng, a man with crippled legs.
Is this old emperor sick and confused?
In the study of Xuanwang Mansion, she sat next to Meng Yuanheng, holding his hand holding her, and her indifferent face also showed a little anger.
Yun Fei paced back and forth, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, he knows that your leg disease has not healed, why does he insist on asking you to rush to the front line, you are now in the critical stage of treating cold poison, and it is not suitable to travel long distances to be tired, let alone lead troops to fight." ”
As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but the old emperor knew that Meng Yuanheng was his own flesh and blood, and he also issued such a holy decree, is there really no family affection in the emperor's family?
Shen Qianmo looked back at Meng Yuanheng's handsome face, which was as calm and indifferent as before, and couldn't help but feel distressed for him.
Although she knew that he had never recognized Emperor Mingde as her father, the flesh and blood relationship was not something that you could erase without acknowledging it. Emperor Mingde's move made him feel sad somewhat.
The most ruthless imperial family. The last time at the Qixi banquet in the palace, when she was defiled as a demon girl, Meng Yuanheng did not hesitate to disobey the holy decree in order to protect her, and now Emperor Mingde's move may be more to test the loyalty of Meng Yuanheng and Xuanwangfu.
"The subordinates heard that this He Liancheng studied under the old man of Tianshan Yuxu, strong in martial arts, and proficient in the art of war, and his marching and combat ability far exceeded that of his father He Yuanshan, this time the king of Beidi ordered him to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Jinyang Pass, presumably it is bound to win, and the emperor only allocated us 50,000 soldiers and horses, this battle is not easy to fight." Wen Renyuan's square face was full of solemnity.
"Those 50,000 soldiers and horses are of no use at all, Uncle Wenren, how many people and horses are there in the Feiyun Cavalry Camp now?" Meng Yuanheng's cold voice was still the same.
"Less than thirty thousand." Wen Renyuan replied.
"You get them ready to leave early tomorrow morning. Spread the news to General Lin stationed in Jingzhou, asking him to send another 30,000 Mengjia troops to Jinyang Pass to join Feiyun Cavalry. Meng Yuanheng ordered.
"Yes, my subordinates obey." Wen Renyuan took the order and left.
30,000 Feiyun cavalry, against the 100,000 troops of Beidi, if it was before, it was enough. But this time it was He Liancheng who led the troops, he had never fought with this person, and he didn't know his strength, so for the sake of safety, Meng Yuanheng also dispatched the Mengjia army from Jingzhou, which was closest to Jinyang Pass.
"Is there any mistake, Ah Heng, when did you become so obedient? If you claim to be sick and bedridden, no one will force you, even if there is a holy decree! Yun Fei's eyes widened and he shouted.
"Today in the early dynasty, Meng Tianluo and Yao Chong, the head of the household department, pushed the king to Jinyang Pass, and the king wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Meng Tianluo's gourd. There is also He Liancheng...... The king wants to meet him for a while. Meng Yuanheng ignored Yun Fei's shouting, just stared deeply at Shen Qianmo, who was clasping his fingers, and said in a cold tone.
