Chapter 506: One Body and Two Doors
In Qinghuai City, Wu Gan, Baoxiang and others were drinking opposite Meng Shun and Meng Shuo, and the atmosphere was quite dull. Although Wu Qian raised his glass frequently, Meng Shun was still a little depressed between his eyebrows. For an orthodox general, surrender is not always a happy thing.
Wu Gen raised his eyes and looked at Meng Shuo, and motioned for him to persuade Meng Shun.
Embarrassed, Meng Shuo got up with an embarrassed face, and came to his uncle, "Uncle, little nephew toasts you." ”
Meng Shun glanced up at him, picked up the wine glass angrily, raised his head and drank it all. looked at the empty wine glass for a long time and was silent, and suddenly sighed: "You and I are both descendants, what face do you have to put that uncle's shelf in front of you." ”
Speaking of this, Meng Shun's eyes were sad, and he stroked his forehead with grief, "Is our Meng family just gone, Meng Shuo, tell me, why." ”
Meng Shuo was also gloomy, looked at Wu Qianfang and said slowly: "Uncle, our Meng family is sandwiched between the two powerhouses, how can we tolerate both ends of the head and the rat, and the ending is like this, either the clan will die, or lose power." My father participated in the spring hunt this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back.
You also know the situation at home, the third brother and the fifth brother have their hearts set on the Lu family, if the Meng family still exists, it must be one of the two of them who will take the throne. It's just that the Meng family at this time is still the original Meng family.
When the two of them take the throne, they will inevitably purge those who threaten them, and even you, uncle, may not be able to protect themselves. There is no way for me to surrender to the Dreadnought this time. ”
Saying that, Meng Shuo lowered his head, sat down on the ground, poured himself a glass of wine, and raised his head to drink it.
Meng Shun's mouth opened a few times, but he didn't know how to comfort his nephew, he was only responsible for leading troops to fight on weekdays, and he didn't have any way to deal with this great change in the family.
Suddenly, Meng Shun stood up, strode in front of Wu Gan, bowed and said: "Wu Qianhu, please save the life of your little nephew, Fugui doesn't dare to think about it anymore, I just hope that he will not be handed over to the Lu family and leave some blood for the Meng family." ”
Wu Gen turned the wine glass in his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Suppress the appeasement, it is not difficult to save the lives of Meng Shuo and others, as long as it is surrendered to my dreadnought army, I will arrange a proper place to go."
As for their future future, it is all thanks to Zhenfu. Although my Dreadnought Army is weak at the moment, it will have a place in Kuntianzhou in the future. If Zhenfu can ascend to the throne, it will not be difficult for them to get rich and noble. Otherwise, it can only be ignored by everyone. ”
Meng Shun pondered for a moment, and sighed: "I understand the thoughts of Qianhu, rest assured, since I, Meng Shun, have surrendered, I should serve the Dreadnought Army wholeheartedly, and I hope that Qianhu can take care of the little nephew." ”
"Okay." Wu Yan put down his wine glass, slapped the table and got up, "I believe in the words of calming down, with you as a tiger general, why should I worry about the underdevelopment of the fearless army." Please also rest assured, although I, Wu Gan, am not a good person, but I also know the word Xinyi, and I will definitely protect Meng Shuo, please rest assured. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Baoxiang and the others and solemnly toasted Meng Shun and Meng Shuo, which was regarded as an official drink.
"I don't know what Qianhu should do next." When he sat down again, since Meng Shun had already agreed to serve the Dreadnought, he was naturally concerned about his next move.
Wu Yan stood up and ordered Zhuo Ke to take out a map and hang it directly in the hall, "According to the military order given to me by the Lu family, I will take down the three cities without fear. Originally, I planned to defeat Qinghuai, Rolling Stone, and White Cliff City, but since Meng Shuo can persuade the fourth brother to surrender, it should not be difficult for Rolling Stone City to be taken.
As for White Cliff City, if it is attacked, I am afraid that the Meng family in the city will be damaged a lot, and they will be involved in the battle for the head of the family, so I am ready to choose another Cockscomb City, where Meng Zhuo is located. ”
In fact, the wealth in Baiya City is more abundant, but as the main city of the Meng family, most of the clansmen gather here, and the relationship is complicated.
If you kill too much Meng Shun, the tiger general, you must have other ideas, if you don't kill it, you are afraid that you won't be able to control it, plus there is the Lu family fanning the flames behind, Wu Jian is really afraid of falling into White Cliff City, so he chose the relatively simple Cockscomb City.
This city is guarded by Meng Zhuo, the third elder of the Meng family, so that it can not only fight the forces of the pro-Lu family, but also subdue Meng Shun relatively smoothly.
"The city of the third child." Meng Shun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "This time I came to Qinghuai City to rescue, it was the message of the third generation, it seems that he deliberately wanted me and the dreadnought army to lose both." I don't have any problems, I just ask thousands of households to solve the problem quickly, and don't hurt people's lives. ”
"Since it should be like this, if you fight hard, the dreadnought army and the Meng family have lost their vitality, wouldn't it benefit others." Wu Yan flicked his sleeves and turned his head to look at everyone, "I mean that the whole army will rest for a day, leave the wounded, and the others will take the Rolling Stone and the Cockscomb City." ”
After the deliberations were completed, Wu Gen hurriedly reorganized the army on the second day and transferred Mu Shi from Xiaoyujin back to defend Qinghuai City. The wolf soldiers were incorporated into their own army and set off together, while the broken army left half of the army to assist in defending the city in Qinghuai City, and the remaining half was led by Meng Shun to jointly conquer the defenders of the two cities.
Rolling Rock City won without any waves, as Meng Shuo said, his fourth brother Meng Ling is cowardly, and he will definitely surrender the city when he sees him. After Meng Shuo sneaked into the city to meet his fourth brother, the city gate was soon opened, and Wu Yan successfully took over the city.
Leaving Zhuo Ke with a small number of troops to guard here, Wu Jian took Meng Shuo and Meng Ling, and after dressing them up, they rushed to Rooster Crown City non-stop. When camping halfway, Li Qi handed over a secret report.
Seeing the content of the secret report, Wu Gen frowned slightly, the secret report was sent by Ye Ziming, which said that Meng Hao, the head of the Meng family, fell from a horse while participating in the spring hunt and was seriously injured and died, and his eldest son Meng Qian was ordered to take care of the funeral.
fell off the horse and died, hehe, what a coincidence, Wu Yan grabbed the secret report and was silent, after he took the two cities, such a thing suddenly happened, it seems that the Lu family couldn't help but do it after all.
Calling Meng Shun and the others together, Wu Jian handed the secret report in his hand to a few people.
After reading it, Meng Shuo was overwhelmed, "The Lu family is so ruthless, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will go here, and it will be more auspicious." ”
Meng Shun looked at the two nephews who were in tears, and he was also speechless.
"Wu Qianhu, please hurry to Rooster Crown City, my father's death is all caused by Meng Zhuo and Meng Qi, two wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people, please kill them to avenge such a deep vengeance." Suddenly, Meng Ling knelt down in front of Wu Gen and pleaded loudly.
Meng Shun wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth a few times but didn't make a sound.
Wu Yan hurriedly helped Meng Ling up and sighed, "Although my Dreadnought Army is only a guest army raised by the Lu family, and I don't trust it, after all, everything that should be provided is borne by the Lu family, and it's not good to do too much." Well, we'll make a decision when we get to Rooster Crown. ”
Early the next morning, Wu Gen led his army to rush to Rooster Crown City, and did not stop to rest on the way. The news of Meng Hao's death could not be concealed for a long time, in case there was any change after Meng Zhuo got the news, it would be a little difficult to handle.
By the end of the evening, it was only half a day's journey from Rooster Crown. The army encamped and prepared for a night's rest and preparation for the siege.
Originally, Wu Jian wanted to use his identity as a thousand households of the Lu family to trick Meng Zhuo to open the city gate, after all, his heart was towards the Lu family, but he also had to be prepared in case the other party did not attack hard.
After dinner, when he was inspecting the camp, Zhang Wuyang quietly found Wu Gan, "Owner of the village, our scouts have found a team of people, and I have already led people to take them down." After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wuyang said in a low voice: "There is a person with Meng Zhuo's seal on his body. ”
Wu Yan raised his head suddenly, "Meng Shun and the others know if they know." ”
"I don't know, my subordinates didn't tell them." Zhang Wuyang pointed in a direction, "These people are all held in a hidden place outside the camp, because I always feel that listening to the words of Meng Shuo's family is a bit too biased, so I might as well listen to what the other party has to say." ”
Wu Yan pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head and thought for a long time before nodding, "You did a good job, we don't need to favor one family, let's go, go and meet this third son of the Meng family." ”
The two quietly left the camp and walked a few miles to a wooded area. When they entered the forest, more than a dozen people were tied up and sat on the ground, and when they saw Wu Gan coming, their faces were a little shocked.
Zhang Wuyang pointed to a man sitting in the middle, dressed in a jade silk brocade robe, "The owner of the village, the seal letter was found from him." ”
Wu Qian circled around the man twice, and was about to speak. Suddenly, he raised his nose and sniffed, and beside the man, a little pale and about eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man had a faint fragrance coming from his body, the fragrance was distant but not bright, obviously a high-quality spice.
"Take him with you." Wu Qian pointed at the little servant, and walked straight into the forest with his hands in his hands. Zhang Wuyang was stunned for a moment, his face was a little red, he picked up the little guy and followed Wu Yan inside.
There was a commotion among the other people who were tied up next to them, but they were held down by the fearless sergeants who guarded them.
Wu Gen looked back at the brocade-robed man and smiled slightly.
When they arrived at a secluded place, Wu Yan sat down and gently instructed, "Untie the city lord for Meng." ”
Zhang Wuyang stepped forward to untie the rope for the little guy, and only then did he see clearly that there was a layer of cocoons on the slender fingers of the other party, and the belly of the thumb and index finger, which should be caused by long-term pen grabbing. At this time, Fang suddenly couldn't help but admire Wu Gan's carefulness.
"I don't know why this lord said this, I'm just a miscellaneous servant of the City Lord's Mansion." The little guy raised his head and looked at Wu Yan calmly.
Wu Yan stared at the other party with a smile, took out the wine bag and took a sip, stretched out his hand and handed it over, "Take a sip, Lord Meng, this wine is from Qinghuai City, and it is mixed with the clear leaf wine of Rolling Stone City, and the taste is a lot clearer." ”
Looking at the wine bag stretched out in front of him, the little girl's eyes were a little gloomy, but after a while, he still took it, raised his head and took a small sip, but he was choked and coughed.
Finally calmed down, the little guy seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and leaned softly against a tree, "What about the two of them." ”
"In my hands, there is also the uncle who was betrayed by you, who has also surrendered to me." Wu Gan's face was indifferent, and his hand gently rubbed the broken knife.
"Wu Qianhu Wu Qianhu, right, I'm Meng Zhuo, I didn't expect to go to great lengths to arrange someone to be a stand-in, but you still saw it." The little guy laughed at himself, "It seems that you are really my Meng family's nemesis." ”
"City Lord Meng is in a hurry, but where are you going?" Seeing that the other party admitted, Wu Jian simply asked the other party about his itinerary directly.
"White Cliff City." Now that his identity has been exposed, Meng Zhuo is also much calmer, "My father was unfortunately killed, and I went over to help manage the aftermath." ”
Wu Yan sneered when he heard this: "I'm going to grab a seat, no wonder your two brothers want me to kill you." ”
"What are you going to do with them?" Meng Zhuo raised his head and stared at Wu Gan's eyes.
"Keep it, it's hard to kill it." Wu Yan waved his hand indifferently.
"I'm not afraid that thousands of families will trouble you."
"Only when there are soldiers and land are there a threat to the Lu family, two people who have lost land, how can the Lu family take a second look. Besides, it was my fearless army that attacked the Meng family this time, not the Lu family, you are an understanding person, you should know the difference. ”
"In other words, the thousand households are not completely following the orders of the ten thousand households."
"I'm just a guest soldier, not a family soldier." Wu Gan's voice was a little colder, and he was a little impatient with this back-and-forth temptation.
"Qianhu may let me go and let me go to White Cliff City." Meng Zhuo sat up straight and put his hands on his laps.
"Oh, why? I am a guest army of the Lu family, to put it bluntly, I am a thug, how can I be good at asserting without some benefits. Wu Gen stared at each other coldly.
"I can form an ally with Qianhu and help each other, provided that I take the position of the head of the Meng family. Of course, this is a private alliance. If the Lu family has any thoughts about you and me, it is good to take care of it. Meng Zhuo said calmly.
"Why should I promise you, how can I explain to your two brothers."
Meng Zhuo suddenly became excited, and said hatefully: "They are stupid, I was ordered by my father to throw myself into the Lu family, in case there is a change, I can protect the bloodline of the Meng family." A small family like ours, sandwiched between the two powerhouses, how can we put the bet on one family. ”
Wu Gen looked at the other party silently, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face, "In this way, we can really cooperate." ”
"Yes, I just said it, the premise is that I arrive in White Cliff City as soon as possible and obtain the approval of the Lu family as soon as possible." Meng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and leaned forward.
"Could it be that someone will compete with you for this position, your family boss currently seems that the Lu family will not let him take the position." Wu Yan smiled slightly and sat up.
"My fifth brother, he is a person who wants to enter the Lu family. It's just that he spends his days drinking and drinking all day long, and the Meng family handed it over to him is really over. Meng Zhuo frowned and said, and suddenly took out a small seal from his body, "With this thing, thousands of households can go straight to Rooster Crown City without spending a single soldier." There is only one thing, if there is a chance, please think of a way to help deal with my fifth brother, so that he cannot compete with me. ”
Wu Gan's eyes narrowed, and his head tilted slightly, as if he wanted to reacquaint himself with the man in front of him.
Some people died, but not completely......
