Chapter 116: Heroes Compete for Supremacy
At noon, Hu Meier took Wang Changjian and Li Xiaobai and his party to Xinyue Tower, in the largest box on the third floor, Ma Mingxian had been waiting here in advance, Ma Mingxian, the governor of Longyou, was over sixty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dignified appearance, and looked upright.
Seeing Wang Changjian, Ma Mingxian hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Thank you Lord Wang for coming to Qinzhou City from Jianzhou, but the military situation is urgent these days, and I haven't had time to entertain Lord Wang, please understand!"
Wang Changjian hurriedly saluted, "Xiaguan Wang Changjian saw Lord Ma, and he was already grateful to be summoned by the adult, how dare he blame the adult!"
Ma Ming first heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Changjian's words, and he didn't mind with a dry laugh, "Haha! Lord Wang hurry up and excuse me, please take a seat." ”
Waiting for everyone to sit down, the wine and food were placed on a large table, Ma Mingxian just said some kind words, and did not mention the military situation of the battle with the Mole Kingdom and the Shuofang coalition army, Hu Meier wanted to lead the topic to this several times, but Ma Mingxian diverted from it, Hu Meier was helpless, so she had to keep toasting Wang Changjian.
Wang Changjian interrupted Hu Mei'er, raised his glass and stood up, facing Ma Mingxian, the governor of Longyou, "Lord Ma, my Wang Changjian is a rough man, and his speech is a little rude, please forgive me!" But what I say now can represent the Jiannan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and don't hide it from Master Ma, since Hu Mei'er and the humble position left to come to Qinzhou, my Jiannan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion began to mobilize troops, and now 60,000 troops have gathered near Jianbei Pass!"
Ma Mingxian's heart trembled when he heard the news, the wine glass in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he looked at Wang Changjian but was powerless to speak.
Wang Changjian glanced at Ma Mingxian, the governor of Longyou, and continued: "Master Ma and the army of the traitor Ge Shuye have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and I admire it in my humble heart! Maybe Lord Ma has another clever plan, but my Jiannan Army and the rebel are incompatible, and we will never let Ge Shuye's Shuofang Army step into Jianbei Pass! If Longyou can't support it, without Lord Ma talking, my Jiannan Army will definitely share the same enemy with the Longyou Army and jointly defend Longyou!"
......
After Ma Ming sent Wang Changjian and Li Xiaobai and others away, he was still in a haunted spirit, sitting on a chair, looking up to the sky and sighing!
"Hey, how is that good?"
Hu Mei'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said coldly: "My lord, what Wang Changjian said is already very clear, whether you agree or not, when the battle situation in Longyou is unfavorable and the whole line is defeated, the Jiannan Army will definitely send troops to Jianbeiguan to enter Longyou!" I don't know what happened during this period of time, but I know that we are powerless to fight against the coalition forces of Geshuye and Mole Country, since the Jiannan Army is going to enter Longyou to fight anyway, why don't you behave more cheerfully and directly invite the other party to help, and this is also the strategy we formulated at the beginning!"
Ma Ming first looked at the angry Hu Mei'er, and said seriously: "Mei'er, you are young after all, some things are not well thought out, and the plan made at the beginning is a little inappropriate, the Jiannan Army, as the elite division of our Tang Empire, how can it be possible to put our Longyou Army in their eyes, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf will become a problem for raising tigers!"
Hu Mei'er got up angrily, pointed at the nose of Ma Mingxian, the governor of Longyou, and scolded, "Master Ma, you are really getting more and more confused as an official! You are still calculating your gains and losses in your heart! Do you know that Longyou will soon become the Longyou of the Shuofang Army! Are you planning to become an official under Ge Shuye?"
Speaking of this, Hu Mei'er suddenly figured it out, "Hahaha! Ma Mingxian! You are really smart but you were mistaken by cleverness! It must be that bastard's idea for you, this time you are afraid that you will die without a place to be buried!"
Ma Ming's face was blue and purple for a while when he was scolded by Hu Mei'er, and finally he was furious and took the case, "Hu Mei'er, you are presumptuous! Don't forget your identity!"
Hu Mei'er didn't give Ma Mingxian any more face, and still didn't give up, "Ma Mingxian, do you think your aunt and grandmother are afraid of you! From now on, if you take your single-plank bridge, your aunt and grandmother will not be accompanied! Don't want me to be buried with you!"
After speaking, he turned to leave, Ma Mingxian was annoyed and ashamed, his hands trembled and pointed to Hu Meier's departing back, "You......! You are unreasonable!"
......
Ma Ming returned to the mansion first and was still angry, and he was helpless in the face of this chaos, slumped on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, but he couldn't drink it.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a gloomy face walked over, sat opposite Ma Mingxian, did not speak, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.
After a long time, Ma Ming came back to his senses first, and saw the middle-aged man opposite, as if he had seen a savior, "Sir, I'm afraid Longyou is over!"
The middle-aged man looked at Ma Mingxian's eager eyes coldly, and asked in a cold tone: "Master Ma, of course you have the final say on whether Longyou is finished, since you say that Longyou is finished, there is no reason not to finish!"
Ma Ming first grabbed such a middle-aged man's hand, and almost burst into tears, "Sir, save me!"
The middle-aged man shook off Ma Mingxian's hand and continued to emphasize that "Master Ma, who is in charge of Longyou? Who is the governor of Longyou? Who is in control of the Longyou Army? You let me be a powerless scholar to save a feudal official who has mastered thousands of troops?"
It was as if a thunderclap split Ma Mingxian's mind!
Ma Mingxian clenched his hand vigorously and muttered to himself, "Yes! I am the Grand Governor of Longyou, and I have the final say in Qinzhou City! What is Wang Changjian? It's just a fourth-grade assassin history, how dare you be presumptuous in front of me, a second-rank Grand Governor?"
"My lord has finally figured it out! Of course, you have to go your own way, and if someone is in front of you, you can only move the people who stand in the way! There is no immortal god in the world who saves the suffering, only self-help!"
"That's right!" Ma Mingxian also heard the middle-aged man's words, but he was still immersed in his own thoughts, unable to extricate himself! "Wang Changjian, you actually dare to be presumptuous in Qinzhou, I sent someone to arrest him and ask him for guilt! I want him to understand who is the Grand Governor of Longyou! No...... Longyou is about to be gone! I can't kill him! Kill Wang Changjian, and the Jiannan army will come from Jianbei Pass!"
Ma Mingxian is already delirious!
......
Hu Mei'er immediately followed Ma Mingxian and came to the city gate tower at the north gate of Qinzhou alone, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop her when they saw that it was her.
Hu Meier sat on the city wall, her legs hanging on the outside of the city wall, looking into the distance!
According to the military information transmitted in the past two days, she knew that Liangzhou City, which was only three hundred and fifty miles away from Qinzhou City, was besieged by the armies of Geshuye and Mole Kingdom, and she was afraid that a fierce battle was now raging!
