Following Li Hongji's gaze, the generals suddenly turned their heads, and all their eyes focused on Meng Wat who suddenly appeared. The only dozens of generals left in the Northern Expedition Army, including the famous Liu Yanzhen, most of the leaders in the Southern Tang Dynasty are here, not to mention that there is also a superior, Li Hongji, the king of Yan.

Being stared at by such a group of high-ranking and powerful people, Meng Wat's heart churned, although this mood was once in the Bagong Mountain camp, but the feeling at this moment seemed to be even stronger, perhaps because he had gone through a lot of hardships to come here, as a powerless civil official, how difficult it was to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy country to find the army.

When he first entered the city, Meng Wat didn't have such a strong feeling, but at this moment, looking at the generals in the hall and His Royal Highness King Yan, who was thinking about him, he finally came to his senses and really did it.

What's even more surprising is that I didn't expect that after a few years, His Royal Highness King Yan could still remember himself, the little waiter in the Eastern Capital Museum.

Meng Wat didn't care about the embarrassment on his body, hurriedly straightened his clothes, strutted his head, and bowed down in the blazing eyes of the generals and said loudly: "Xiaguan, Haozhou Assassin Shi Meng Wat meets His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"Get up! Let this king see! Li Hongji looked excited, and went straight forward to pick Meng Wat up, "Just now this king received a report, saying that you Meng Thorn Shi came to Xiapi City, this king can't believe it...... Alas! When Yangzhou said goodbye, this king missed it very much! It's a pity that it's hard to see each other because of busy business! ”

Meng Wat was stunned, then looked grateful, bowed down and trembled: "Your Highness is worried!" Since hearing that the Northern Expedition had failed and the army was trapped in Xiapi City, there has not been a day when the lower officials have not worried about the safety of His Royal Highness! Seeing that His Highness is safe today, the lower officials are finally relieved! ”

When the deceased came to visit, the sudden memory seemed to bring Li Hongji back to the scene five years ago, when Meng Wat patiently taught the teachings of the scriptures for himself, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Li Hongji immediately beckoned, specially ordered someone to move a chair, held Meng Hut's hands tightly, and said movingly: "Meng Tingshi came from afar, and he must have gone through hardships and dangers on the way, and he worked hard all the way!" Sit down and drink tea, and by the way, tell this king about the situation in the court now......"

There was some strange harmony in the lobby at this time, and Meng Wat's arrival made Liu Yanzhen feel deeply relieved, and retreated to the side in a timely manner, and the generals quietly separated the two sides, watching Li Hongji and Meng Wat sitting opposite each other and chatting. Although their expressions were different, almost all of them listened carefully, for fear of missing a word, and their hearts were full of long-lost heat.

Not only because of the intimacy brought by Meng Hu's official uniform of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the appearance of Meng Wat inexplicably ignited expectations in their hearts.

Meng Wat did not talk about the hardships and dangers he had had along the way to show his merits, but told the situation in the Southern Tang Kingdom at this time.

Sure enough, when the public heard that Li Jinquan had rebelled and swept the land of Sanzhou, they were shocked, and several veterans couldn't even hold back, and stepped forward to express their wish to return to China to quell the rebellion, and the scene was angry for a while. It wasn't until Meng Wat said again that Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan had led the army to Shouzhou, and the mood of the generals eased a lot.

Needless to say, Liu Renzhan is familiar with the generals, and everyone in the fourteen states of Jiangbei knows the prestige of the three generations of the Liu family. What's more, coupled with Li Yuan, who is now famous and a young man, this marshal in his early twenties, all the generals present witnessed his miraculous exploits in the previous Western Expedition, after the defeat of the Northern Expedition, although the commander Chen Jue did not mention it, many generals in the army will always sigh inexplicably, if Li Dashuai can accompany the army on the Northern Expedition, maybe the situation will not be so bad......

"Good! Liu Dashuai is alone to quell the rebellion, Li Dashuai is thousands of miles to help, my Datang has these two loyal and good, and the rebellion can be quelled in a few days! ”

Li Hongji smiled heartily, and the generals also showed a relieved smile, and the slightly suppressed and tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Meng Wat also hurriedly wiped away the sweat on his forehead, after all, those young generals roared at the same time, which was really oppressive.

At this time, Li Hongji's smile seemed to have another deep meaning. He clearly remembered that before the departure of the whole army from Runzhou, Zhou Zongzeng, who was left behind in the eastern capital, visited the door and secretly talked with China and North Korea, revealing that Li Yuan was expanding the army and would try to help the Northern Expedition, which also filled his heart with confidence.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and it turned out that Li Yuan did not come to help.

Since the army retreated to Xiapi City and stalemate with the Zhou army for several days, when Li Hongji was bored, he would inevitably have a grudge against Li Yuan, although Li Hongji knew in his heart that it was his father who rejected Zhou Zong's request to let Li Yuan lead the troops north, even if this matter was investigated against Li Yuan in the future, it was really no wonder to him.

Therefore, when Meng Wat mentioned that Li Yuan was quelling the rebellion in Shouzhou at the moment, Li Hongji finally felt a lot better in his heart, and it seemed that this Li Yuan was not breaking his promise, but he couldn't help himself.

After a while, Li Hongji came back to his senses, and finally said his heart: "Meng Tingshi, this king sent a fast horse to the court before, I don't know if Your Majesty has an edict?" ”

These words hit the hearts of all the generals, and they all held their breath at this time, waiting for Meng Wat's response.

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Meng Wat took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then arched his hand: "Back to Your Highness, before the lower officials left Haozhou, even Shouzhou did not receive His Majesty's edict to quell the rebellion, let alone the Northern Expeditionary Army far away in Huaibei?" The rebellion in Jiangbei has not ended, and many important roads have been cut off by the rebels, even if there is an edict, it will inevitably be delayed! ”

"This ......" Li Hongji was suddenly depressed, and then fell into silence.

The generals were even more disappointed, and many people also secretly bowed their heads and sighed.

A black-faced general couldn't hold back, and muttered to Meng Hu: "Since there is no will to bring it, then why did Meng Thorn Shi take the risk of trekking here?" If you come to the rescue, even if you bring a troop of soldiers and horses! ”

"Yes! Nothing, come here and do ......"

"Alas, in the end, it's a civilian official, and he knows how to fight a fart......"

Seeing that the generals began to speak dissatisfied, but Li Hongji tightened his brows and said nothing, Meng Wat took a deep breath, got up and said calmly: "Now that Shouzhou is in rebellion, except for the soldiers and horses of Liu and Li, where can the elite soldiers from Jiangbei be brought by the lower officials?" Dare to ask the generals, if the subordinate brings soldiers and horses, are you willing to fight with the Zhou army? ”

"We, how don't we want to-" The black-faced general was just about to argue, when he met Liu Yanzhen's sharp gaze, and hurriedly stopped.

Li Hongji sighed, staring at Meng Hu's calm face, thoughtful. Then he asked softly: "Meng Tingshi, in your opinion, where should my army go now?" Is it war or peace? ”

"Your Highness, please forgive your command!"

Meng Wat flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of the official's trip is to go north to persuade His Highness to lead the army to return to the south!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Hongji's face immediately became gloomy.
