After nightfall, the wind and snow get heavier.

In front of the palace of King Qin, the lights in the lamp building emitted a dim yellow light, illuminating the surrounding places, and a team of city guards responsible for night patrols passed by the gate of the imperial city, and unexpectedly saw that the figure was still kneeling in the snowstorm, and they all shook their heads and couldn't bear to look at it again.

"Commander, he seems to have been kneeling for a long time, will he be frozen to death." A small soldier was moved by Meng Wu's tenacity and struggled to spit out bitter words.

"yes, I've been kneeling for a long time......"

The commander raised his hand to stop the patrol team, approached with a fluttering lantern, raised the lantern and took a closer look, and found that the old general's face was pale, covered with snow foam, and his eyes were still open, motionless.

After a few glances, he had mixed feelings. For Meng Wu, he admires this old general very much in his heart, but begging for a life in Xianyang is the last thing he can get too close to a brainless person like Meng Wu.

In the midst of the wind and snow, the commander bent down and whispered: "General, why do you bother? ”

"Go back quickly, kneel down again, you will really die."

Meng Wu was silent, and simply closed his eyes.

After persuading for a while to no avail, the commander got up silently, looking at Meng Wuyi's very old and stubborn appearance, and shook his head helplessly.

He dragged his heavy steps and turned back to leave.

It wasn't until the person walked away that Meng Wu reopened his heavy eyes.

On such a snowy night, he couldn't see the Qin Palace, which was close at hand, and he only saw a huge hazy black shadow, which seemed very small in comparison.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice rang in my ears again.

Crunch squeak –

The characteristic squeaking sound of wheelchair wheels running over the snow.

"Father's ......"

"Go back, don't talk, the old man doesn't have your daughter."

……

……

At the same time, the residence of the regent Menghu.

At this time, although it was late at night, it was icy and snowy outside, and the cold wind was howling, but the main hall was as warm as spring, and the charcoal with dark purple flames swaying in the brazier kept sending warmth to the main hall, so that everyone took off the fox fur coat on the outside.

In the main hall, there were five people in the past.

Menghu, who took off the python robe and changed into a regular uniform, was in the main position.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand to warm his hands, his eyes are deep, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, just like a big guy.

Among the other four, the stubble-covered leopard was among them, holding up the wine jar in his hand from time to time, drinking with his throat up, and the placket of his chest was wet.

Everyone was not surprised when they saw Meng Leopard, who was addicted to alcohol, as long as they didn't get drunk and delayed their business for a while, and the rest were up to him.

The other three, I don't recognize.

But they were all gorgeously dressed and wearing treasure boots, and they looked like rich and noble families.

"Regent, asked me to wait overnight, I don't know why? I've been sitting for a while, so let's get straight to the point. ”

"That's it, Lao Tzu is still in a hurry to go back and sleep with his beautiful concubine, I don't have time to talk to you here."

“……”

The other three spoke one after another, and in their words, they didn't take the powerful Meng Hu in their eyes at all. If it is expected to be good, this is what the world often says, controlling the other three of the five major families in Xianyang.

Meng Hu took a sip of tea, his face calm, "Meng Guogong is well-informed, can't you guess why this king invited the three of them over tonight?" ”

After speaking, Meng Hu raised his eyes and glanced at the man.

Meng Guogong, the first of the three to speak, was this one.

In addition to the surname Kaimeng in Xianyang City, there are few people with foreign surnames.

Occupying a high position in the country, his strength is slightly inferior to Menghu.

Meng Guogong is nearly sixty years old, although his white hair is gray, half cut into the earth, but now he is still full of red light, refreshed, and it is not a problem to live another one or two decades, and his whole body is full of shrewdness.

Hearing this, Meng Guogong narrowed his eyes and suppressed his voice: "Could it be that the regent wants to respond to Meng Wu's invitation and prepare to send troops to the north for reinforcements?" ”

This is the only possibility, otherwise I wouldn't have called everyone over late at night.

"Guogong is a lot older, and he is still so smart, this king admires it." Meng Hu praised with a smile, then looked at everyone, and suddenly said: "It's not that this king alone wants to send troops to support the north, but let's send troops together." ”

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang.

Immediately, someone slapped the case, was furious, and pointed at Menghu:

"Menghu!"

"I salute you for having some means to call you a regent."

"That's it...... Don't be embarrassed. ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Leopard slammed the wine jar to the ground, and was about to hit it with a fist.

"Brother Leopard, don't be impatient!"

Meng Hu raised his hand to stop it, looked around at the people in the hall, and said word by word:

"This king knows what you are worried about, what you have in mind......"

"You are worried, worried that you will divide your troops to the north to support at this moment, what if the King of Qin dies at this time, the Qin State is completely chaotic, and there are not enough soldiers in your hands?"

"Why doesn't this king think so, but don't you want to support now?"

Meng Hu asked rhetorically, and continued:

"The situation in the north is far worse than you and I imagined, this time Rong Di is determined to eat our Qin State in one go, the north is not just as simple as being slaughtered by Rong Di a few cities, it is dozens, hundreds of thousands of people have been taken captive, corpses are everywhere, and the blood is permeating hundreds of miles......"

"If we don't support again, Rong Di will fight to Xianyang, and by then, we will all be finished......"

At the end, Meng Hu slapped the table vigorously and made a loud noise.

Everyone was silent, pursed their lips, and thought in their hearts.

The situation in the north, of course, they are clear.

This time, the Rong Di army was menacing, and as soon as they came up, they chased and fought fiercely, not to mention that they had been preparing for many years, but the Qin army was defenseless, and for a time the Qin army was defeated and retreated.

If this situation continues, within a year, the entire territory of Qin State will be penetrated and occupied by Rong Di.

Long.

Meng Hu spread out his hands and spit out, "Everyone, you and I are both Qin people, and even more Han people, if you really ask Rong Di to hit Xianyang, it is better to directly wipe his neck with a knife and apologize for his crime with death." ”

"So far, our internal fighting is small, and we can jointly resist foreign enemies and ......"

"Which is more important, this king advises you to think about it."

After speaking, Meng Hu poured a cup of tea again and gave everyone time to think.

The faces of the people were different, some wrinkled their eyebrows and hesitated, some clenched their fists and forbearance, and some were cautious.

After a while, Meng Guogong's old voice slowly sounded in the hall:

"It's easy to say, isn't it just to jointly send troops to defend against foreign enemies, as it should be, and it should be...... In this way, I will set an example first, I will send 15,000 elite soldiers, plus 8,000 catties of food, and 200 chariots, which is enough to be sincere. ”

Hehe.

The others looked at Meng Guogong and sneered in their hearts.

The five people present, the two brothers of the Tiger and the Leopard at the beginning of the year, had more than 200,000 soldiers in the hands of Meng Guogong.

More than 200,000, only 15,000 this time?

I'm sorry to say sincerely.

"I'll give 20,000 ......"

"I'll give you 18,000 ......"

"The two brothers of the king gave a total of 30,000 ...... The king of Ming Japan announced the entire territory of Qin in the name of the king of Qin, so that the generals from all over the country could make efforts, and if they made up some piecemeal, they could always gather hundreds of thousands of troops, and it would not be a problem to defeat Rong Di. ”

There is no surprise that everyone reached a consensus on this matter.

After all, everyone is a Qin person, and even more so a Han person, how can they really only care about internal fighting, and let the Rong Di foreign clan destroy the country.

"Is there anything else? It's okay, I'm leaving......" This person is an anxious person, I guess I am really in a hurry to go back and sleep with my beautiful concubine in my arms.

"Wait a minute!"

Meng Hupi smiled and didn't smile, "There is one more thing, the Daji delegation has been coming to my Qin country for a while, according to your opinion, how to deal with them?" ”

"Processing?" Meng Guogong frowned, sneered, and said sarcastically: "Menghu, your self-appointed regent has been sitting for a few days, and you really think you are the regent?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Hu's face suddenly darkened, and a wave of anger accumulated in his chest.

But Meng Guogong didn't see it, and sneered:

"Menghu, don't you know how many catties and taels you have? Do you still want to be a second Chen Dynasty? Can you compare with Chen Chao? Still want to deal with people? …… People have a big business, they govern the discipline in an orderly manner, and they take the empress to the throne, and they order all the officials to disobey, although the prime minister is the prime minister, what is the difference between him and the emperor, what about you? ”

"You've got a fart." Meng Guogong scolded.

"Yijie was born recklessly, joined the army, killed a few people, and really thought he was the regent."

Under candlelight.

Meng Hu's face became darker and darker, and resentment was in his eyes, constantly accumulating.

Meng Guogong stood up and looked at the people who were at odds with each other:

"You all know that after the death of King Qin, you and I are enemies, and now is one of the few times to sit together and talk."

"Guogong, that's what I said." One of them waved his hand, laughing and joking, trying to lighten the mood.

"What are you pretending, I heard that you even have your own royal name, what are you called, oh...... King Tiansheng! ”

"See King Tiansheng, long live King Tiansheng, long live long live, long live, long live—"

The man's face darkened suddenly.

With some irony, he loosened his belt, and Meng Guogong was about to leave.

Before leaving, he said: "In short, in a few days, just send Chen Chao and the envoy away with good food and drink, our Qin State is in this situation, internal and external troubles, we can't provoke him, we can't provoke him, we can't mess with it, and we can't mess with it." ”

The others bowed their heads, acquiescing to Meng Guogong's statement.

In today's Qin State, the army of Rongdi in the north is raging on the border, and if you provoke Daji at this time, it is really not far from destroying the country.
