Chapter 249: Sitting on the Mighty Pass, Solid as Iron

Nangong Shi felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it these days.

The capture of the second prince was no longer enough to make him have a big change in mood, and what he cared about now was the more than 100,000 troops trapped in the land west of the river.

If he could, he would rather let Meng Ji, who was short of troops, get out of the way, let the army be more majestic, and he would withdraw safely, completely end this sparse battle, and start again after going back.

This kind of fighting and not fighting, letting and not letting on the other side made him extremely uneasy, it was Meng Wei himself who came the day before yesterday, didn't there be a larger army behind him?

It seems unrealistic to think about it, as if the rhythm of the whole war has become very strange since he attacked the defensive line.

He thought that his command was decent, there were no big loopholes and problems, and he could even be regarded as a breakthrough in himself, imitating Meng Wei to raid Jicheng and Gucheng over the mountains and mountains, and pacified Binzhou City, the largest city in Hexi.

But the same trick was changed to Deng Zhizhong, and the result was completely different, but instead he let his army lose his troops and now he is still in prison.

Now it seems that his side is still in an advantage, but Nangong Shibi understands that he can't advance, he can't retreat, and he can't fight like this without the advantage of the opposing forces, if the army arrives, his situation will be even more worrying.

As long as you can return to Zhou Guo, you can condense the scattered forces into an iron fist, and you can still have the opportunity to continue to swing your fist, if you break these more than 100,000 people, the strength of Zhou Guo will be greatly damaged, and you may not be able to face Meng Ji, who has high morale.

The most worrying thing is that there is a big merchant on the side of the couch.

It is not easy to defend the city, and it is even more difficult to attack the city, a few days ago, Meng Wei was just a demonstration, and the flame giant that was released like a mountain peak, the flame in his mouth was not extinguished, such a panic and divine power made people desperate and tremble.

But Fan Meng was cruel, and the breath of flame spat out in his army or city, the consequences were unimaginable.

The only reason why the army can still hold on is that the other party cares about his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, the gods of the heavenly court, and the unknown cause and effect of the heavenly dao, and does not dare to hurt people.

This practice of pinning his hopes on others made him feel extremely passive.

He roughly knew the content of Meng Wei's letter to his lord, the power of immortals was too strong, so it should not be involved in mortal wars, otherwise similar to Lu Yue's ability that can be called a mass extinction of creatures, the casualties and losses caused by a plague spell are incalculable.

Just like biological and chemical weapons, sweeping away a large area, human life is like mustard, and some plagues are still the kind of vicious spells that make the land barren for a hundred years, even if such a land is occupied, what is the use?

Just like now, the Zhou army's 150,000 army has only more than 100,000 soldiers left, and the opponent's 50,000 people have lost more than half of them after the sneak attack, and as a result, they can be restrained by the existence of two inhuman beings.

This kind of many calculations, less than the strength of one person, makes him feel aggrieved in his heart, and those existences that are obviously different from conventional forces make him feel disgusted and want to vomit, what is the difference between this and adults bullying young children?

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Meng Wei's proposal, and also admired this young boy from the bottom of his heart, who was ambitious and measured, and deserved the name of benevolence and righteousness.

The premise of putting forward this draft is that he himself can withstand thousands of troops and horses by himself, and his intention and pattern are very unusual.

Time passed little by little, and the land west of the river entered a rare quiet period, and after roughly estimating the time, Meng Wei got up and went to the pass, riding the jade unicorn into the air.

During the alliance, the two countries ceased war, even if Meng Wei believed that Nangong Shi would not make a trap to harm Xibohou and put the elderly lord of Zhou in danger of betraying the alliance, for the sake of conservatism, it is still necessary to guard against it.

Meng Ji's defense line was strictly guarded, and the golden-winged Dapeng bird was still soaring above the nine heavens, paying close attention to the dynamics of the defenders in Binzhou City, using his extreme speed to pass military orders at any time, and receiving Meng Wei's reinforcements at any time.

At the same time, it also prevented the Zhou army in Binzhou from secretly retreating.

Walking to the Sanshan Pass, the original merchant army flags have been replaced by Meng and Ji banners, and Bian Jinlong, who was not angry, looked at his son, and never became angry, but just admonished Meng Wei in front of Meng Wei, who had just arrived in Xiongguan.

"Have you ever considered being above the court of the Song Dynasty in doing so? Today's king is not a good person, even if you have a good relationship with the king, he is the king after all, you are a foreign prince after all, excessive abuse of the king's favor to you, how high you climb, beware of how bad the fall will be in the future. ”

Bian Jinlong wasn't so annoyed and angry, he just looked at his stupid son Bian Ji who was overindulgent worriedly.

There are more than 100 generals and guards of the Great Shang, who can guarantee that all of them are loyal and patriotic, most of them are just fulfilling their duties, and some of them are similar to the neutrals who climb the wall.

If you beat me, I will fulfill my duties, if you don't go my way, whatever you toss, you can say that it is the guard of the internal service, and after being dispersed to various places, they are all characters comparable to the princes of one side.

The farther away from Chaoge, the more obvious this situation becomes, if it is not sandwiched between Hexi and Zhou, it will be replaced by the Wandering Soul Pass near the southern Xinjiang, or the Tongguan and Jiepai Pass near the royal court, it will be quite a comfortable errand.

It's a pity that there are no ifs!

"Old general, I, Meng Ji, have killed and injured so many people, do you think the king will be angry, why don't you think I will be angry? If it were you who helped your eldest brother keep the family business, but instead were usurped by outsiders, but the eldest brother said that he couldn't help, what would you think? ”

Bian Jinlong was stunned, and then fell silent, he just thought about the problem from the perspective of an outsider, but if this kind of thing happened to him, he would also be uneasy.

Now that he is old, he just wants to lie down peacefully, waiting for him to return to his hometown after leaving office, and when he was young, he didn't talk about any pattern or pattern.

But what should be said is still to be said, who made his stupid son still an impulsive hairy boy.

"He is the king, the king to whom you are allegiated!"

"So I didn't let the follow-up army go to Jizhou, but continued to throw troops towards Hexi. He is my king, and I am also the co-lord of Northern Xinjiang, the lord of Mengji. ”

"I am loyal to Dashang, but I also have to consider my people, this matter is that you two passes stand by first, against the former Hexi agreement, I want to save my people, maintain my territory, this is my duty as a marquis, if the old general is not angry, Meng Wei can let you go back to the court, you go and ask the king, do you want a Meng Ji's Chonghou, or the northern Xinjiang Jihou!"

Chonghou ......

Not only Bian Jinlong, but also Zhao Bing and Bian Ji became silent and didn't dare to say much.

Chonghou is a taboo topic, for Meng Ji, and for the one who sings the same thing, Meng Bohou doesn't seem to be joking, he is really angry.

What does it mean to mention Chonghou? Leaving the northern Xinjiang alone, does it mean that the muffled voice is developing in Mengji?

This routine is a bit familiar, and the original Western Xinjiang slowly became Ji Zhou, and finally became Zhou.

If you really want to do this, of course Bian Ji and Zhao Bing raised their hands in favor, but the princes of Jizhou and the western part of Northern Xinjiang have to suffer from the old sin, Jizhou is an important place that can directly lead to Chaoge, and everyone in Chaoge City has to be in danger.

"Why do you want to say angry words, Jin Long just reminded Meng Bohou, beware of the scolding from Chaoge, and has no other ideas, the old man's weak body will die if he dies, my son is now cheating, if Chaoge is held accountable in the future, please take care of Meng Bohou."

Meng Wei softened his face and responded gently: "The old general is too worried, I know Bian Ji in Weimo, how can I abandon him!" You don't have to worry about your affairs, today's seizure of the customs is my decision, if there is accountability for Chaoge, I am responsible alone, the king is not an unreasonable person, it's a big deal to wait for this matter, Meng Wei personally went to Chaoge and explained it to the king. ”

"This ...... Meng Bohou, beware of the sinister hearts of the people, there are not a few people in Chaoge City who have malicious intentions towards you, and hope to replace them. ”

"It doesn't matter, there are wicked people in the world, and there are also Meng Weizhi friends, prime ministers and generals, and they will not sit idly by and watch others frame Meng."

At this point, Meng Wei no longer said anything more to Bian Jinlong, he stood in a different position, and he didn't need to tell him everything, and today's Meng Yan was far from the Meng Yan of five years ago, and today's Meng Ji was not Meng Ji with few soldiers and little food.

He is not a foolish person, but no one teaches him how to manage a country, how to be a good monarch, many things rely on some bits and pieces of modern knowledge, which is the result of his recklessness all the way, he has taken a lot of detours, and he has made a lot of mistakes, but fortunately, under the bumps and bumps, he has come to this point.

"Bian Ji, has Xibohou arrived outside Jiameng Pass?"

"Big ...... Lord, the advance cavalry of the Zhou State is already building a high platform for the alliance, and it is estimated that it will only take a few days for Xibohou to arrive. ”

"Well, even though it is a battle, I should arrive first as a junior, this is a respect for the elders, Bian Ji stayed at the pass, and Zhao Bing took a Peng official to follow me into Jiameng Pass, waiting for the arrival of Xibohou."

Zhao Bing sat on the fox vividly, made a playful smile towards Bian Ji provocatively, and then under his disgusted gaze, he laughed out of the customs and followed Meng Wei to Jiameng Pass.

The two divine beasts flew directly into the sky and landed unceremoniously in front of the city wall of Jiameng Pass, frightening the guards Long Cheng and Guan Bin to surround them with all their swords.

For these two people, Meng Wei didn't have any impression, and he didn't pay attention to the two of them, just quietly looked at the direction of Zhou Guo, sat on the top of the city and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Zhao Bing guarded the side.

Long Cheng was embarrassed, and was about to say something, but when he saw Zhao Bing's fierce eyes, he immediately stopped and beckoned the defenders to move to the other side to make room for these two uninvited guests.

No, the Sanshan Pass has fallen, they are really like a sandwich biscuit, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, there is no buffer zone, they will turn into foam like waves at any time, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches before Chaoge's new order arrives.

The sun rises and sets, Meng Wei just looked at the outside of the gate quietly, enjoying the rare sunset in his heart.
