Chapter Eighty-Eight: Drifting Away for Half a Life, I Didn't Meet the Lord

Chongcheng is full of Su Linen clothes, every family goes out to mourn, or to say goodbye to their father and brother, or to say goodbye to their children, the sad person is not alone, and the cry of mourning is the mainstream voice of these dozens of days.

Since Deng Jiugong entered the city, Meng Wei immediately used Deng Jiugong's military strength to cut the prisoner camp, forcibly stabbed this group of rebels, and distributed supplies to the major merchants and nobles in the city.

The sorrow of the commoners, the people, and the slaves outside the city permeated the hills, and many nobles in the city drank happily to celebrate the "great victory", and the two separated emotions formed a sharp contrast, which made Meng Wei extremely uncomfortable, leaving Mei Wu alone to deal with these nobles who looked at the sturdy slaves with happy faces, Meng Wei completely returned to Meng Village, back to the village where he was born and raised.

Sitting quietly in front of my father's tomb, a pot of faint turbid wine can't get drunk at all, and now Meng Wei, who is full of blood and blood.

"The big husband should have great ambitions!"

Meng Wei smiled and said nothing, when he was a child, he often told some strange stories with his friends in the village behind the house, such as telling the background of the story to be an ancient and unremembered era, and replacing the protagonist with a fictional and powerful tribal chief.

This sentence was when he was telling a story about the Liu clan after its decline and split into three tribes to fight each other, but he accidentally let his father hear it.

Children, listen to the excitement, everyone likes to listen to the stories of Ding Dong's Lu Bu, Liu clan's Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

But with the fermentation of the story, the adults also began to have enthusiasm for these wonderful "illusory stories", and often came to listen to the story of the Romance of the Three Clans under the big tree behind Meng Xiong's house after the farming time.

The storyteller changed from a villager to a child, and the villager was not angry, but followed the villagers with great interest and listened to the magnificent story.

For Meng Xiong, the favorite in the story is Liu Xuande, the patriarch of the Liu clan, who is actually the only benevolent monarch who swears allegiance to the people.

But as Meng Wei grew older, Meng Xiong changed his court, and began to like Cao Mengde, the patriarch of the Cao clan, perhaps, in his heart, his son is becoming more and more excellent, he is no longer satisfied with seeing his son as a retainer who is a minister, and hopes that he can create a city and win the kingdom of Jin in the future.

Only by becoming a figure like Cao Mengde, in his opinion, can he achieve great achievements!

As for some infamy and brutality? Slaughtering the city, losing the world, this is what a qualified prince should do, he admires Liu Xuande, but hopes that Meng Wei can learn from Cao Mengde.

"The great husband should act in this way, so that he can build up a great cause, and the kindness of the woman is not required."

For many days and nights, Meng Xiong bitterly exhorted his two sons to work hard and get promoted as soon as possible.

But Meng Wei has always been escaping, escaping from reality, escaping from the kind of life that is responsible and overwhelmed.

He doesn't understand Cao Mengde, but in his opinion, whether it is Liu Cao and Sun, they must not be happy, if they can, they like Tao Zhugong's comfortable life.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to spend the rest of your life with Shih Tzu.

But now he doesn't care anymore, since he walked out of Chongcheng and embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition, he has never been happy.

Meng Wei now wants to tell his father: "During the trip to Beihai, I have found my own way, and I am no longer confused, and I know what I want to do and how to do it." ”

It's a pity that he "grew up" and became "sensible", but his father could no longer hear the child's voice.

In this world, the only person who deserves to be happy like a naughty boy, let down his guard, and pour out his heart has left forever.

Xin Ping and Lian Yong can't do it, because they are loyal, no one else can do it, only Father can let him say everything in his heart unconditionally.

Everyone has their own purpose, Jiang Ziya wants to be a god, the Zhong brothers expect to make contributions, and Wu Dare wants to be a victorious general.

Everyone has their own dreams and pursuits, only Father is different, all his love has been given to Meng Wei, and only such a person can make Meng Wei let down all the guards in his heart and be calm.

Perhaps, there is another one?

At least not yet.

Chongcheng had banned alcohol, and the pot of dull turbid wine was still taken from Mei Wu's table, but it turned out to be tasteless and failed to make him drunk.

I really want to think about it, I don't have to care about anything, just lie quietly between the vast world and the world, I don't have to think about anything, I wake up from a big dream, and I am still the boy who learns literature and martial arts.

The yellow wine was poured in front of his father's tomb, and Meng Wei kowtowed to the ground, kneeling down, remembering his father's past in his heart.

Behind him, Deng Chanyu walked for a while, and didn't dare to step forward to interrupt, until Meng Wei's heart was emotional, and then he said lightly: "Chan...... General Deng, why are you in such a hurry? ”

Deng Chanyu let out a breath at this time, and first stepped forward and knelt in front of Meng Xiong's tomb and kowtowed heavily, seeing that Meng Wei's heart was mixed, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Chonghou has returned to the city, he has entered the Hou Mansion, and he has summoned you back to the city to report on your work."

"Alas!"

The peaceful life was interrupted, Meng Wei got up and patted the dust on his body, looked at the grass roots stained on Deng Chanyu's hair, and finally couldn't hold back, gently picked it out, and then slowly brushed it behind his ears.

"How are the soldiers?"

"Revenge is high, and it is waiting for you."

"It's so good, this revenge must be avenged, I don't care who he Su Hu is, the blood debt must be paid in blood, Su Hu and Zheng Lun, none of them can escape."

Looking at the lover who was suppressing his anger, Deng Chanyu couldn't hold back, grabbed Meng Wei's arm, frowned and said: "Taste, you once said that those who raise soldiers because of anger are called strong, and they will march in anger, and it is unwise to fight. You are always wise, you should know how powerful it is! ”

Meng Wei took a deep breath for a while, and then patted Deng Chanyu's shoulder: "Be taught, although we are an army of revenge, we are a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. ”

The two rode on the war horses on the side, galloped, and headed towards Chongcheng.

In the winter season, a small bright yellow flower grows tenaciously in front of Meng Xiong's tomb, nodding its head with the sound of horses' hooves, as if dancing happily.

Chonghou returned to the city and stepped into his capital with a murderous aura and bloodstained armor that had not been cleaned.

When Meng Wei arrived at the Hou Mansion, the main hall was already full of generals, and above the main seat was the lord of Chongguo, the lord of the northern frontier Chonghou Hu, and the person sitting firmly under his left hand, Deng Jiugong.

Seeing Meng Wei coming, everyone moved out of the way and motioned for him to stand forward.

Meng Wei was not polite, he stood in the first place under his right hand, followed by Mei Wu, Fang Cheng, Zhao Bing and other Chongcheng generals, lying on the ground with blood on his neck, it was Mei Luan, the guard of the West Gate who abandoned the city and fled that day, in addition to a bloody human head, Meng Wei was clumsy, and he couldn't recognize who this head was.

However, Mei Luan's death here surprised him quite a bit, and it also relieved him of depression.

"It's all here, let's discuss it!"

Chonghou Hu kicked the head on the ground with a vicious face, and said hatefully: "The head of Su Quanzhong, the eldest son of Jizhou Su Hu, is here, this kid can still have martial arts at hand, but he underestimated the old man too much, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to enter, and was beheaded by me outside Binzhou City." ”

"However, a head of Su Quanzhong can't solve the hatred in my heart, and now I am back to Chongcheng, and I will be rewarded for my meritorious service in defending the city!"

"Where is the Dirt City Guard?"

"The last general!"

Chonghou Hu's eyes softened, his own country was attacked, it was really a great shame, the four great princes were established so far, I have never heard of the lord of a frontier being beaten so that even the country will be lost.

"Meng Wei was promoted to the first rank, baron Jin, and granted the land of the four cities of Beihai, Wei, Lu and Bran, and served as the vanguard officer of the crusading army, responsible for the conquest of Jizhou to break the enemy and open the way."

"Meng Wei takes the order!"

Chonghou Hu immediately looked at Mei Wu: "Mei Wu has meritorious service in defending the city, leading the general of Chongguo, and governing the army of the three cities in the southern region of Chongguo, and will be the barrier of my Chongguo Southern Region in the future." ”

"Mei Wu obeys."

"Zhao Bing......"

The northern frontier was rotten into a puddle of mud, and after the princes of the 72nd Route of Beihai rebelled and cleared it, there must have been countless people who took the title.

This is not only a turmoil, but also a reshuffle of the cards in northern Xinjiang.

In the past, the major princes who have been passed down from the beginning of the ancient clans to the present, as well as the princes of all walks of life who were divided into feudal feuds during the Xia and Shang periods, except for the bitter cold Liaodong Bo. The nominal three marquis and two uncles basically suffered heavy losses and began to enter a dormant period, and for at least ten years after that, they were the stage for this group of young people in the hall.

The northern frontier is big enough to withstand their unbridled and arrogant force, otherwise there will be many nomadic Rong tribes further north, and the west road is the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is full of soldiers, how can this family business be kept?

Under the deliberate support of Chonghou Hu, the young princes of the "Meng" lineage, who would occupy the Outer North Sea Territory in the future, rose rapidly.

Deng Zhizhong, who continued to serve as the guard general of Qingyang Pass, also assigned the city of Beihai and the city of Taming to Zhao Bing and Wu Kang, which can be regarded as being screwed out separately from the command of Meng Wei, located in the cities of the outer Beihai border, directly blocking the inner and outer Beihai passages, and at the same time showing a horn trend with Taicheng.

As soon as the reward and appointment came out, the generals were in an uproar, and they looked at Meng Wei with different looks.

As for Bian Ji, after the order was issued, his father Bian Jinlong did not agree, and this kid could only continue to serve as a deputy general.

After everyone's reward was over, Mei Wu officially proposed the matter of slaves guarding the city, and directly took over the failure to defend the city, and pleaded guilty to Chonghou for the fault of replacing the guards with slaves.

Chonghou Hu had a gloomy face, did not answer, but forcibly suppressed this matter, did not mention the matter of the slaves going to the Dirt City, silently let Mei Wu bear all the responsibilities, and let him break the discussion of this matter with the power of his uncle.

After everyone retreated, Chonghou Hu left Meng Wei alone.

"What do you think about the appointment of slaves?"

"Master Hou, at that time, Chongcheng was in crisis, and the defenders were weak, so they ......"

Chonghou Hu didn't have the patience to listen to the story of Chongcheng again, and forcefully interrupted Meng Wei's reply, his eyes were like eagles, staring at him fiercely.

"But the old man didn't say it clearly enough? Ben Hou asked, what do you think? ”

Meng Wei lowered his head and was silent, but in his heart, he kept thinking about the deep meaning of Chonghou's words.

"It is impossible to return the prisoners in Jizhou, raising more than 20,000 people, I don't know how much it costs, and maintaining the stability of the prisoner camp also requires a large number of troops to guard, it is better to divide the clans and nobles as slaves, reduce risks, reduce expenditures, and this is one of them."

"The North Sea is not peaceful, the population has been greatly reduced, and the slaves are used to fill the people, and the North Sea can be restored to life within three generations, and this is the second."

"The third ......"

When it came to the third, Meng Wei hesitated a little, raised his head and looked at Chonghou Hu, his eyes full of sharpness.

"Meng Wei wants to attack the ghost side, go down to the dog Rong, subdue the Siyi in northern Xinjiang to expand the army, and stabilize the border. This batch of Rong slaves is still of great use, Meng Wei wants to take down the Rong clan for my northern Xinjiang, so as to revitalize the peace of the world! ”

Chonghou Hu smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Even if you kid is a little ambitious, if you still retreat as smoothly as before, you will waste my expectations and cultivation of you and the Taishi."

For Meng Wei's growth, Chonghou Hu didn't pay much attention to it, and most of them also explored some of Meng Wei's trajectories from the mouths of merchants.

The more he got to know him, the more he admired this young man, and in him, it seemed that he could see the second son who always liked to be arrogant to others and had a lot of strategy in his chest.

No, he is better than Ying Luan, bigger than Ying Luan, and more ruthless.

If Ying Luan could have been as flexible as him at that time, he would not have sacrificed in vain in Fengyang, allowing himself to die a humiliating and worthless death.

"I will suppress this matter for you, but you must remember that a slave is a slave, and he can be a pioneer and dare to die, but he cannot transgress his status."

"I know that you always have wonderful ideas, and now you can do extraordinary things in Beihai, but you need to deal with the relationship well afterwards, otherwise the princes will criticize and besiege you, even if it is me, I will not be able to protect you."

Chonghou Hu turned his back, not wanting to see Meng Wei's young face, every time he saw him, there would always be a feeling of memories flooding back.

And his words were not uttered, Di Xin let him regain his vitality for three years, and now it is only the first year, but he has suffered heavy losses, and he doesn't know if Di Xin will let him sit firmly in the position of Bei Bohou in the future.

Now that the northern frontier is in chaos, except for him Chonghou Hu, there is no second person who can stabilize the chaotic northern frontier, but if so, what about after he dies?

"The situation in the world is quite strange in this world, you and act carefully, now the situation is unclear, Ben Hou always feels that there is someone behind him stirring up the storm, I am still difficult to protect myself, you are so provocative that there will be a crisis in the future, everything should be based on your own safety!"

Meng Wei listened to Chonghou's chatter and care, and was a little dazed for a while, not understanding why Hou Ye's attitude had changed so much.

I had to bow my head and make a promise first, and then keep thinking in my heart.

"Go, this is the end of the matter, don't trespass on the slave matter, think twice before acting."

"Straighten out your armaments, gather your subordinates, and in three days, go with me to Jizhou!"

Meng Wei bowed and retreated, and when he reached the door, he suddenly heard Chonghou Hu's deep voice coming out.

"Meng taste, I heard... Is your father dead? ”

Meng Wei didn't speak, turned around, looked at Chonghou calmly, and nodded a little lonely.

"Hey, Ying Biao has always been reckless, not a person who can hold a high position and control the chaos in northern Xinjiang, you should do more in the future."

Meng tasted it, nodded his head, and didn't understand what Chonghou meant for a while, but only hoped that he could be loyal to Chongying Biao in the future and maintain the situation in northern Xinjiang.

"Would you like to join me to have the Chong clan? To worship the surname? ”

“…………”

Why is this plot so similar to that Ding Dong Lu Bu?

Meng Wei hurriedly bowed: "Fei Chen is unwilling, but the family is the first to mourn, and he is the only son in the family, he should serve his mother and pass on the Meng family, this ......, I hope to think twice!" ”

Dizzy, but it's good that it's tomorrow weekend, so I can get a good night's sleep. Recently, my work has been really annoying, and I can't hold back my inspiration without taking a few deep breaths before writing, so I have to adjust my mentality.
