Chapter 304: Meng Tian and Li Si and Zhao Gao
On the way from Lingyang Mansion to the capital city, a continuous army was walking quickly.
In a carriage in the middle of the army, the extremely fast wheels rolled on the bumpy road, and the curtains on the car fluttered in the wind, revealing the two great talents inside.
Because the war was about to start, Li Yuan asked Jia Xu and Xun Yu to rush into Huanzhou, Li Yuan was ready to send Li Si to Feng and Yizhou, Xun Yu sat in Huanzhou, and controlled Lingzhou and Huanzhou to supply the army logistics with the power of the two states.
"Now that the hidden danger on the border of the three states has been eliminated, it is indeed time to further capture the dynasty."
Xun Yu, who had a calm face, held the teacup in his hand and sat in the carriage, and the bumps outside did not affect the stability inside at all.
Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, one hand stroked his beard, and chuckled:
"The Rihui Dynasty and the Southern Underworld Dynasty on the border of Fengzhou have suffered heavy defeats and losses, and His Royal Highness has sent a message to the Wuyue Dynasty, the Southern Hao Dynasty, and the Ximan Dynasty, presumably these three dynasties are extremely interested in the Rihui Dynasty and the Southern Underworld Dynasty."
"Haha, it seems that Wen He had a good conversation with several princes of the Black Gold Dynasty that day." Xun Yu looked at Jia Xu's happy appearance and laughed.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "The two major dynasties on the border of Fengzhou have been defeated, and the Black Jin Dynasty has been frightened, how dare they enter the border of Lingzhou." ”
"But ............, it's another thing that pleases me." Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xun Yu with an inexplicable look:
"The commander of the troops in Lianzhou this time is Meng Tian!"
"Yes, Meng Tian, it is too appropriate to be born at this time."
Xun Yu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Jia Xu, looked at Jia Xu, and said meaningfully:
"Meng Tian's birth, I don't know if God favored His Highness, or His Highness chose it himself?"
"What do you think?"
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and took the hot tea.
Xun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Jia Xu and smiled lightly: "No matter what the situation is, with Meng Tian's appearance, most people must be relieved." ”
"Yes, His Highness is becoming more and more mature." Jia Xu took a sip of hot tea, the teacup blocked Jia Xu's face, and he couldn't see what his expression was.
For kings, ability is secondary, and the most important thing is suitability!
When there are more people, there will be discussions, disputes, and their own small circles.
Each era is different, the factions are also different, and some belong to the same era and are natural allies!
For example, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xu Chu are a small circle.
is more like the heroes of Liangshan.
As Li Yuan summoned more and more talents, his subordinates would split into small circles, and there were also different camps in the same era, such as Shu Han, Cao Wei, and Dongwu.
But some circles are too strong, and it is easy for other small circles to resist.
Just like the current Li Si and Zhao Gao!
Li Si, whether it is his ability or identity, is destined to be extraordinary, even if Xun Yu, who appeared first, faces disagreements with Li Si, Xun Yu also needs to make concessions to Li Si.
Although Li Yuan did not give an order, under the huge power of the Chu Palace, Li Si was already faintly the head of the civil officials.
And Zhao Gao is in charge of the net, controlling the intelligence and recruitment of the entire force of the Chu Palace.
Just because these two people joined forces, no small circle can stop them now.
Moreover, they were born too early, and there may be a dominant force under Li Yuan in the future.
But Meng Tian is coming!
Meng Tian is not Li Si, he is loyal, and he does not focus on interests, not only can he sanction Li Si and Zhao Gao, but the characters who appear in the Qin Dynasty in the future will not be so easily co-opted by Li Si and Zhao Gao, and most people will choose Meng Tian's side.
The carriage slowly advanced, in front of the army, Ma Chao wore a white lion sharp tooth helmet, wearing a white lion arrogant armor, riding a huge white-eyed demon lion, looking heroic, his eyes looked in the distance, on his side, the deputy general Guan Sheng looked at the white-eyed demon lion with envy.
This grandmaster-level white-eyed demon lion appeared after Ma Chao followed Jia Xu into the Black Gold Dynasty and came back.
When he saw that Ma Chao was about to move his head over, Guan Sheng's eyes instantly became solemn, and he clenched the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand and looked ahead.
Ma Chao glanced lightly at Guan Sheng, who exuded three points of arrogance, his cold and arrogant eyes did not change, and he turned his head to look ahead.
Guan Sheng saw Ma Chao's appearance, and smiled bitterly in his heart, for some reason he preferred to stay by Cheng Yanjin's side, and he was always a little uncomfortable staying by Ma Chao's side.
……………………………………
Huanyu capital city, the entire Huanzhou a number of high-level civil ministers and military generals gathered here.
Li Si, Zhong Liwu, Xu Chu, Xu Fengwu, Song Lan, Wang Songhua, Shi Liubao and other dozens of prefects, county guards, and generals, as well as the lords of the two major forces of Xu Mad and Song Kong, sat in the lobby and waited quietly for Li Yuan to come back.
The eyes of most of the people on the field still had excitement in their eyes at the moment, King Ming actually gave up the land of the two states to His Royal Highness, and the territory of the Chu Wangfu directly exploded.
The most important thing is that they are missing the great enemy of King Ming.
Xu Mad and Song Kong, as well as Wang Songhua, Shi Liubao and other prefects, showed even more joy, fortunately they chose the right one.
While they were talking happily,
"Step!" "Step!" "Step!"
The sound of several footsteps sounded, and everyone present quickly stopped talking, couldn't stop standing up, straightened their chests, and knew that the king of Chu was back.
Although they often did not see His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the majesty of the King of Chu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, everyone turned to the door at the same time, the footsteps were not hurried or slow, every step was quite calm, and with the footsteps, in a trance, everyone seemed to see a golden wave, as if there was a thousand powers, overwhelming the sky, whistling.
In the trance of everyone, they saw that the light in the lobby was dim, and Li Yuan had already appeared in front of everyone.
"It's been a long time since you've seen you,"
Li Yuan smiled like a spring breeze, which made people naturally feel close to him.
His smile was like a full house of flowers, and the atmosphere was suddenly relaxed and no longer serious.
Everyone froze in their hearts, if it weren't for His Highness's terrifying coercion just now, everyone thought that His Highness was a very kind prince.
His Highness's majesty is heavy again.
A word also rose in everyone's hearts, but the movements in their hands were very fast, and they saluted respectfully.
"See Your Highness!"
"Everyone, please."
Li Yuan indifferently walked to the top and sat down, looking around.
"Then you will know why this king has summoned you all."
Li Si, Zhong Liyi, and Xu Chu looked calm, because they had been informed by Li Yuan of what to do next.
Wang Songhua, Shi Liubao and others, who didn't know it, glanced at each other one by one, but they all showed expressions of understanding.
In their opinion, Fengzhou and Yizhou are now nominally His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but His Royal Highness will definitely send trusted subordinates to Fengzhou and Yizhou to govern.
So today it's time to assign personnel.
Therefore, whatever His Highness says, they will surely answer.
Li Yuan swept around everyone, and did not sell Guanzi, and said: "This king is going to send troops to capture Lianhuan Mansion. ”
"Your Highness is wise............"
Wang Songhua and Shi Liubao, who were about to respond casually, bowed their hands and saluted, and suddenly looked up at Li Yuan.
Just now, His Highness said that he was sending troops to capture Lianhuan Mansion?
Not Feng, Yizhou?
And Xu Mad and Song Kong's faces also changed slightly, what's going on?
The two looked at each other and exchanged frenzied eyes:
Shouldn't His Highness send people to Fengzhou and Yizhou now, why should he send troops to attack Lianzhou?
I don't understand!
Isn't this nonsense?
It really shouldn't.
Fengzhou and Yizhou haven't been taken yet, so they have gone to attack other places, is it possible that His Highness has floated?
Impossible.
Xu Fengwu was startled when she heard Li Yuan's words, and then quickly looked at Li Si below Li Yuan's first place, and saw Li Si's calm face, and her heart moved.
Lord Lees also knew.
Something is wrong, something is wrong.
His Royal Highness is also a steady person, it is impossible for him to suddenly choose to attack Lianzhou at such a time, something must have happened.
Just when Xu Fengwu's mind had a flash of inspiration, his face changed slightly, and he was about to blurt out.
"Your Highness, but the imperial court is coming to deal with us?"
While everyone was confused, a male voice suddenly sounded, and a middle-aged scribe stood up with a heavy face.
Cui Zongming, the new prefect of Huanchen Mansion in Huanzhou, is a great talent found by Li Si among many officials.
Hearing Cui Zongming's words, the prefects and county guards were shocked.
"Well, this king has learned from the news from Kyoto that the imperial court is ready to unite with King Yu to deal with us." Li Yuan's eyes were indifferent, and he said slowly.
"And the Honor King?"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard Li Yuan's words, Xu Madness and Song Kong glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva, and were speechless.
The many generals behind Zhong Liyi and Xu Chu opened their eyes wide one by one and clenched their fists.
Although His Highness's tone was flat, they could sense a storm of impending crisis.
Even Cui Zongming, who was the first to speak, changed his face slightly, although he had expected it, but when the crisis came, it always made people throb a little.
Behind him, several county guards rolled their eyes, even a little incredulous.
Could this news be fake.
"You don't have to be nervous, the arrival of the court and King Yu, this king has his own way to deal with it, and you do your job."
Li Yuan looked at everyone's shocked and frightened looks, looked around, his face was solemn, but his momentum was extremely strong, and his words were loud, so that the distracting thoughts in everyone's minds disappeared in an instant, his face turned pale, and he saluted in unison.
"Obey His Highness's orders!"
"This king plans to raise 800,000 troops to attack Lianhuan Mansion, Zhong Liyi, you will lead a 100,000 vanguard army to attack Linhuan City first!"
"Yes!"
The armor sounded, Zhong Liyi stood up and hugged his fists and saluted, a pair of sharp eyes were particularly sharp.
Behind Zhong Liwu, the faces of the generals froze, but their eyes faintly showed excitement, but some generals were puzzled.
General Zhong Liyi is a vanguard general, so who is the commander of the army?
In the eyes of many generals, General Zhong Liyi is brave and strategic, and he is the first to follow under His Royal Highness, except for the strongest General Lu Bu, who can suppress General Zhong Liyi.
They have already learned the news, General Lu Bu will be in Fengzhou, who will command the 800,000 army?
Could it be General Ma Chao who is guarding Lingzhou?
There were a few burly generals with simple brains who opened their eyes wide, looked at Xu Chu on the side, and thought in surprise, could it be Lord Xu Chu?
And Li Si's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, it seems that His Highness has summoned an unusual character this time.
I don't know who it is?
Li Si quietly looked at Li Yuan above, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.
When Li Yuan was in Fengyu City, he had already sent a message to Li Si, asking Li Si to prepare to bring some trustworthy backbone officials to Fengzhou and Yizhou to govern.
Looking at the different expressions of everyone, the majesty in Li Yuan's eyes became more and more intense, and he smiled lightly:
"This time the commander of the army, this king has already been selected, General Meng, come in!"
General Meng?
As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces were moved, this is an extremely unfamiliar name.
And Xu Fengwu, Song Lan and other talents shrank their eyes, they thought of the mystery of His Highness, and the appearance of one after another in the hands of His Highness has never disappointed, only shock.
This time, it must not be easy for His Highness to appoint the commander of the army!
Cover?
Li Si, who originally had an expectant look on his face, heard this surname, and his face changed slightly.
Li Yuan suddenly had a trace of breath leaking from behind him, and a dark red figure hidden behind Li Yuan and remaining respectful appeared, and he couldn't help but look up at the door.
"Step!" "Step!" "Step!"
I saw a middle-aged military general wearing armor and thick eyebrows and big eyes walking in, his face was majestic, his eyes were focused, and his whole body exuded an extremely majestic momentum, his eyes swept and his heroic posture was impressive.
Everyone who was swept by Meng Tian's bright gaze was suddenly in their hearts, although his eyes were plain, but they gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Even if it is an ordinary walk, everyone can feel that there is a kind of immobile like a mountain, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him and the color does not change.
Li Si and Zhao Gao's pupils shrank at the same time,
"General Meng!"
I saw that Zhong Liyi, who had been calm and calm, stood up in surprise when he saw Meng Tian.
Zhong Liyi, before following the overlord Xiang Yu, was once a lieutenant in the Qin army.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty was established, and Wang Jian and Meng Tian were the objects of respect of all the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
When the unified Qin Dynasty was just created, Meng Tian did not have the opportunity to enjoy the glory that a founding hero deserved, but shouldered a more arduous mission - the Xiongnu in the north.
At the end of the Warring States period, the smoke was everywhere, the Qin State swept the six countries of the Central Plains with the power of a country, and built the first feudal empire in history, while the Central Plains was fighting, the north of the Central Plains has been active in a nation that is good at riding and shooting fiercely - the Xiongnu, they took advantage of the opportunity of the war in the Central Plains, constantly harassing the northern countries, while Qin unified the Central Plains, they took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and occupied a large area of land south of the Hetao, directly threatening the safety of Xianyang, the capital of Qin. Become the last henchman of the entire empire.
Meng Tian commanded 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, on the bank of the Yellow River, the Qin army dominated by infantry and the Hun cavalry launched a battle of life and death.
Meng Tian only fought a battle to hit the fierce and brave Xiongnu hard, so that it could not be defeated, and the wolf ran everywhere, the Xiongnu did not dare to enter the Han land for decades, and Meng Tian's merit was supreme.
"The Hu people don't dare to go south and graze horses!" ”
After this battle, the Qin army at that time was no longer invincible, and Meng Tian also became the most outstanding general of the Qin Empire.
If you have a careful understanding of Meng Tian, you will know that Meng Tian's ability is not weak with the four famous generals of the Warring States.
Meng Tian's achievements are mainly in the Qin State unified the six countries, after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, led the Qin army in the north to fight against the Xiongnu, Meng Tian can be said to be the first general of the Qin Dynasty, but does not belong to the Warring States Period, so he can not enter one of the four famous generals of the Warring States.
It's a pity that in the end, Zhao Gao and Li Si jointly made a fake edict and ordered Fusu and Meng Tian to commit suicide, and Meng Tian committed suicide by taking poison with hatred.
Hearing a salute, Meng Tian's resolute and calm face nodded to Zhong Liyi, walked to the center of the lobby, clasped his fists and half-knelt in salute:
"The last general, Meng Tian, pays a visit to His Highness!"
"Meng Tian, this king ordered you to be the commander of the Lianyang army this time, and you must take Lianyang Mansion and guard Lianyang Mansion!"
"The last general commands!"
After the ceremony, Meng Tian got up.
His calm gaze finally looked at Li Si on the side, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he said in a very unceremonious tone:
"Li Si, long time no see!"
"General Meng, it's been a long time!"
Li Si looked at Meng Tian with a wry smile.
And at this moment, everyone in the hall looked at the two of them in surprise, they knew that the highness must have brought a big man, and Zhong Liyi's performance just now let them know.
But when they saw Meng Tian's unceremonious tone towards Li Si, and Li Si's attitude of responding with a wry smile, it really surprised Xu Fengwu, Xu Ma, Song Kong and others present.
Who is Li Si, as soon as he appeared, he was respected by the generals under the command of the Chu Prince's Mansion, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were also weak in front of him, and the bloodthirsty demon general Xu Chu was like a docile kitten in front of him.
And Li Si's talent made all the talents in Huanzhou respect and fear.
But today, the fierce man who appeared didn't seem to be afraid of Li Si at all, and called him by his name, and even faintly angry.
