Chapter 10: Coercion and Inducement

In the Haotian Emperor's Palace, Haotian Emperor Chu Wei sat in the study, looking at the silk report in his hand about the unsuccessful search of the Jin Yuan soldiers, and scolded: "Rice bucket! So many people can't find it after they have passed!" After speaking, he threw the silk in his hand vigorously, and flew straight into the wall, shattering into a pile of rags.

"Someone!" Chu Wei shouted majestically, and then in front of him there was a half-kneeling man in black. This is his secret guard.

"Give me a good look at where the Jin Yuan soldiers are!" Chu Wei waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" the man in black bowed slightly, and then dodged away.

Meng Fan returned to Yaocheng smoothly. At this time, when he saw Lei Ming and Yang Tian smiling at the city gate, Meng Fan's heart was really moved for a while, and he secretly decided to follow the two of them well.

In fact, Lei Ming and the others did not get up to wait for him, but Yang Tian began to practice his elite camp again, and the martial arts he taught would have a better effect in the morning, and Lei Ming came to instruct.

Fortunately, the two looked at Meng Fan's excited appearance and didn't tell the truth, otherwise Meng Fan would have to vomit blood in anger.

The food that Meng Fan brought back was enough for them to eat for two months, so Lei Ming and the others planned to take a good rest and train their troops seriously, so as to prepare for a good battle in the future, or flee back.

Five days passed, and Chu Wei in the palace received a report from the secret guards, and the Jin Yuan soldiers bypassed Tianyuan City from the mountains and forests, and went straight to Yaocheng, and then there was no trace.

"Oh, in this way, the Jin Yuan soldiers were cleaned up by Meng Fan of Tianwei Gate?" Chu Wei praised happily when he heard this, and then frowned, "No, it is impossible not to repay the merit after cleaning up, could it be that Yaocheng was destroyed?"

"Your Majesty, Meng Fan is still here, and he went to Tianyuan to transport grain five days ago. Moreover, Yaocheng has not been damaged, and the current defense is still very lax. The Dark Guard respectfully recounted what he had observed.

Chu Wei squeezed his forehead, this Meng Fan is still like this, he is not serious about managing the city defense at all, if it weren't for the face of Tianweimen, and his martial arts are not bad, he would have been dismissed from his post long ago!

However, Jin Yuanbing was missing near Yaocheng, so he had to ask him.

"Dark Guard, go and ask me if there is any news of Jin Yuanbing!" Chu Wei ordered, but seeing that the Dark Guard hesitated, he added, "Take my token with you, he won't make things difficult for you." After saying that, he sighed.

"Yes!" the guards replied sharply, relieved, and then disappeared in a flash.

Chu Wei raised his head and sighed, and said to himself, "This boring battle......"

The next morning, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the sunlight occasionally came out from behind the black clouds that drifted through the sky, and bunches shone on the patches of emerald green rice, highlighting the brightness of the rice between heaven and earth, as if the sky also knew the importance of food.

The dark guard was still dressed in black, and rode alone to the outside of Yaocheng. Looking at the closed city gate and the listless and sparse guards on the five-meter-high city wall, he couldn't help but secretly snort: "Meng Fan, this bastard, doesn't just rely on his high martial arts skills, and he is not even a fart for the training of generals!"

"Open the door! from the capital!" the guard pulled out his token and raised it against the wall.

The guards on the city wall were shocked when they heard this, someone from Haotian Capital City was in trouble. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully from top to bottom, and sure enough, the man had a large token in his hand. However, he didn't have the opportunity to contact those special tokens at all, and he didn't know how big the other party was, but he knew that there was indeed such a big man in the Dao.

He didn't dare to take matters into his own hands, and shouted, "Wait a minute!" and turned around and ran to the city to report to his superiors.

The news quickly spread and reached the ears of Lei Ming and others. Lei Ming summoned Yang Tian, Luo Luotian and Meng Fan to discuss. Lei Ming sat upright and asked Meng Fan: "General Meng, people from the capital, what do you think?"

Meng Fan arched his hand to everyone and said, "The last will debut for half a year, and it hasn't been long since I took over here, so I really don't know the intentions of the people who came." ”

Huang Chu felt that what Meng Fan said was the truth, he nodded, and said, "General Meng has just held an official position, and it is normal to not know what to do. Huang estimated that Yaocheng was suspected. ”

"He dare!" Meng Fan clenched his fists, as if he was about to beat someone.

"General Meng, don't be bored. Wen also felt that Haotian would find this place sooner or later, because more than 10,000 people passed by, and it could still be found if he checked carefully. Seeing that Meng Fan was in a hurry, Mr. Wen hurriedly comforted and analyzed.

Meng Fan listened to this, and his heart eased slightly, and asked, "Does that gentleman have a way to deal with it?" ”

Mr. Wen stroked his beard, recognized Meng Fan's timely calmness, and said, "Wen Mou looks at General Meng as if he has the intention of beating someone, why don't you threaten him?"

"That's ......," Meng Fan was puzzled.

"Bring the visitor to the hall, don't let him go anywhere else, otherwise, General Meng can beat him, and besides, give him some benefits......" Mr. Wen frowned, and told these martial artists that he still had to say that these strategies were exhaustive, far from being as clear as Tong Dashuai.

Lei Ming, Yang Tian and Huang Chu are all such flowery people, and they can be clear when they hear it, and when Mr. Wen said those words, they were all happy to smile.

Meng Fan saw the three of them laughing, and understood what was going on, his face was slightly red, and after being cheated by his luck, he thanked Mr. Wen with his hand, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Lei Ming smiled and said, "Let's disperse, stay out of the way." ”

Yang Tian left beside Lei Ming and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to spy on it?"

"Yo~ take the initiative to invite Sakura, I'm still worried that you General Yang will not want to. Lei Ming was a little surprised by Yang Tian's initiative, and sarcastically sneered.

Yang Tian squinted at Lei Ming and asked, "What do you mean! Aren't I busy preparing to fight in the future?"

Lei Ming sighed lightly and said, "Yes, staying in this Yaocheng is really not a way, and finding a place to gain a foothold is the long-term solution." ”

"Why don't we talk to Emperor Haotian?" Yang Tian proposed.

"Surrender, so many Jin Yuan soldiers are here, they definitely can't let go of the people at home. Lei Ming shook his head in denial.

"No!" Yang Tian said firmly, "I want to have a place to build and start from scratch!"

Lei Ming stopped, looked at Yang Tian, and said, "What is it?"

Yang Tian also stopped, looked at Lei Ming with blazing eyes, and said, "Just the two of us, we can make them restless!

Lei Ming looked Yang Tian up and down, his expression was resolute, not at all impulsive, it seemed that the rhetoric he shouted before was true. Lei Ming closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Okay! With these soldiers who have been eliminated in the war in our hands, the sky can also poke through the holes." ”

Yang Tian saw that he had already thought of the thunderous support of Dongshan, and a flower smiled on his face, which was no longer visible.

"But......" Lei Ming poured cold water on him again, "the place he can give us is the border, the place bordering the Jin Yuan, the ...... that is impoverished and threatened by the two countries."

"Hee-hee...... Isn't that a genius scientist like you? Get some fertilizer, improve tools, and some TNT, and the desert will become an oasis!" Yang Tian sent a sycophant over at the right time, so that the thunder he listened to fluttered for a while, looking forward to a better future.

"What about you!" After Yang Tian finished speaking, Lei Ming immediately asked, he did it all, but he had to exhaust him to death!

"Me?" Yang Tian was surprised that the thunder was worthy of thunder, and he couldn't fool anything, "I want to lead the troops to guard the border!"

Lei Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think about it easy in the future." With that, Lei Ming turned around and started to leave, and a sentence floated in: "That person is here, you should pay attention." ”

Yang Tiangong gathered his ears and listened carefully for a moment, and sure enough, Meng Fan and the man came over with Ma Ha, so he hurriedly hid to the side.

"General Meng really has a set of rules in governing the city, and the people in this city are not chaotic at all. The man's sycophants didn't know where the road had been photographed, and the streets were deserted, except for the sultry wind swaying.

Meng Fan Ha said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise how could the emperor let Meng Mou lead one side?"

Shameless, the man was fiercely disdainful in his heart, touched some red and swollen left face with his left hand, and touched his right ribs with his right hand, and those two places were still hot and painful.

Meng Fan saw that the right side of the man's face twitched, looked around and ignored him, and said angrily: "I said Cai Yan, Cai Da Guard, what are you doing in Yaocheng! If it weren't for looking at the emperor's token hanging on your waist, I would have beaten you so much that you wouldn't even recognize your mother!"

Cai Yan was cold, hurriedly looked at Meng Fan, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, let me come down to visit General Meng and see how General Meng is doing here." ”

"Oh?" Meng Fan was shocked in his heart, could it be that Haotian Emperor Chu Wei suspected this? He pretended to be angry and said, "It's the emperor who is worried that Meng Mou's ability is insufficient and he can't govern this little Yaocheng! Fuck, I'm not going to do it!" After speaking, he walked to the hall angrily.

"Ah~ Don't!" Cai Yan hurriedly followed the footsteps, hurriedly apologized, and said with a smile, "It's a small slip of the tongue, the words can't be satisfied, the general doesn't care about the villain, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed...... "The emperor wants to give Meng Fan three points of face, Cai Yan doesn't dare to offend at will."

"In that case, then sit down. Meng asked someone to bring food for a while, and greeted Cai Da's guards well. Meng Fan put on a shelf and said lightly.

Cai Yan wanted to take a look and leave, he didn't want to stay here with this unrestrained person for long, and the place where he was beaten was still faintly painful. But Emperor Haotian's task has not yet been completed, and he still has to find a chance to explore more before he can make a difference, and eating and drinking is a good opportunity. So he hurriedly sat down and said, "General Meng is polite, polite." ”

Meng Fan saw that Cai Yan was polite, but he was not polite under his buttocks, and he stuck to the chair before he finished speaking, thinking that he really had a plan. So he closed his eyes and waited for the food to come.

After a while, in Cai Yan's cramped and uneasy, a guard brought a table of food, with a large plate of braised pork, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of fried peanuts, and a large jar of wine.

Yang Tian, who was lying outside the hall, smelled the aroma of meat, his stomach gurgled, he was desperately spitting, and when he secretly screamed badly, there was a louder grunt in the hall, and it turned out that Cai Yan's stomach was even hungrier!

Cai Yan heard a slight noise outside and ignored it, he thought that Meng Fan was such a master here, there could be no Xiaoxiao, it should be that the soldiers standing guard outside smelled hungry.

He swallowed his saliva a little and whispered to Meng Fan, who was pretending to be B: "General, the food is here." ”

"Hmm. Meng Fan wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I accidentally fell asleep and dreamed of delicious food." I don't want to, it's really served. Come, sit down and eat while it's hot. As he spoke, he walked over to the square table in the center of the hall and sat down on the bench.

Cai Yan couldn't despise Meng Fan, quickly stepped forward and sat down, patted the mud seal on the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, brought one to Meng Fan, raised the bowl and said: "Cai Yan can eat at the same table with General Meng, it is a blessing for three lives." Come, General Cai Yanjing has a bowl, may the general rise step by step!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank the bowl of wine with a "grunt".

Meng Fan was stunned, damn, this kid speaks better than he sings, no wonder he can stay by the emperor's side. He immediately raised his neck and drank the bowl of wine, put down the bowl lightly, and looked directly at Cai Yan, who had already begun to eat meat.

"Hehe~" Cai Yan smiled embarrassedly, he usually eats with his subordinates, he eats first, and now he has come to someone else's home field, and he didn't pay attention to the chopsticks first. He changed his mind and said, "The little one is in a hurry to visit the general, and he hasn't eaten anything until last night......"

"Let's eat, where is there so much nonsense!" Meng Fan didn't care about these subsections, and when he heard that there was an excuse, he just raised his chopsticks and ate.

After eating two bites, Cai Yan raised the bowl with both hands and said, "Alas, I'm confused! The little one came to visit the general, but he didn't bring a gift, this small bowl of atonement!" He knew that Meng Fan would definitely not let him drink alone, so he raised his head and drank it again.

Meng Fan pinched the edge of the bowl with his right hand, and drank the wine in the bowl as he held it, thinking to himself, this kid has a lot of tricks, he wants to get me drunk?...... Forget it, it's better to be safe and blast him back sooner. So he took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine and said to Cai Yan: "This bowl was picked up by Meng for Cai's guard!" After speaking, he finished the bowl in one gulp.

Cai Yan hurriedly poured a bowl for himself, drank it, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!"

Meng Fan saw Cai Yan sit down after drinking, so he clapped his hands, Cai Yan was thinking that he was applauding himself, and he didn't want a guard to come in with a bag of things coming in, respectfully put it on the table, and said, "The gold is ready." ”

Meng Fan waved his hand to let the guards retreat. He unwrapped the cloth bag casually, revealing the yellow gold, and said to Cai Yan, who was drooling: "Cai Da Guard, the journey is tiring, these are for you." ”

"Good, good!" Cai Yan's eyes were full of gold. Although he worked beside the emperor, he didn't get much gold, because he had no real power.

"Then get out!" Meng Fan ordered the expulsion.

Cai Yan was stunned, why did Meng Fan suddenly drive people away? He stammered: "Will ...... General ......"

"Meng still has to govern Yaocheng, how can he have so much time to drink with you here! Jin Yuan and the guerrillas came in! You are responsible for the sneak attack! Don't let me go!" Meng Fan scolded.

Cai Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, thinking about how he could rely on it and listen to some information. At this time, Meng Fan shouted: "Come on!

Or the guard who came in just now, holding a bulging oilcloth bag in his hand, came to the front of the stage and quickly wrapped up the gold on the stage, and stood aside, waiting for Cai Yan to stand up.

Cai Yan didn't have a way, secretly said bad luck, sighed lightly, then stood up and bowed to Meng Fan and said: "Cai Yan don't say goodbye, please forgive me for disturbing the general!"

Meng Fan waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

So, Cai Yan went out of the city with the guards in a gloomy manner. He thought about whether to sneak back and inquire again, but after pressing the pressure and still in pain, he gave up the idea and went back to his life.
