Chapter 20. Soldiers send Mengsun's house
Mengsun House
"How long has it been? When you told my father that Qingji was coming to Lu, I had only been to Qufu for a few days. Now Qingji has not come. All he has come is a minion. Okay, the news is inaccurate, so I won't say anything. But you can't handle such a minion?" The young man in luxury criticized a middle-aged man.
"Young Master, it's useless to lose your temper with me. Not to mention that the man named Hua Chen has three hundred elite soldiers, I can't attack the house he lives in in the name of the Meng Sun family." The middle-aged man explained patiently without being angry or annoyed.
If someone who knows this middle-aged man sees this scene, he will definitely be surprised. This is the second master of the Meng Sun family, and now one of the three Huans. Such a big man still needs to be polite when facing the young man opposite, and the identity of the young man is about to emerge - Gongzi Fuchai.
Fuchai realized that he had lost his composure, and then lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Zhijue, it's my nephew who is rude. I wonder what uncle's plan is?"
"Actually, the King of Wu and the Young Master were too worried. Hua Chen was destined to do his best to return without success."
"Oh ~ What's the uncle saying?"
"Ji Sun Yiru, an old man, has always wanted to annex my Mengsun and Shusun families. This time, he encouraged the three families to work together to help Qingji. It was nothing more than to integrate the manpower and material resources of the three families. It is easy to integrate and difficult to separate. This is his purpose.
Unless they combine the two families and guarantee their own interests during the integration of the three armies, both families will be annexed by Ji Sun Yiru. I understand this, and my uncle Sun Boya naturally understands it too.
The day before yesterday, you and I went to Shusun’s mansion together and expressed my position. My Mengsun family will not help Qingji. In this way, will his uncle Sun Boya dare to cooperate with Jisun family alone?"
After thinking for a while, Fuchai smiled and said, "What uncle said is very good, but my nephew is reckless."
"No, no obstacle. By the way, a new group of Qi's anthemists have been added to our mansion, all of whom are extraordinary..." Meng Sunzhi said with a narrow squint.
"Then it's better to obey your duty than respect."
"Haha, okay, please, my son."
"Uncle, please."
...
Ziyu returned to Mengsun's ancestral home three days later
All major forces in Qufu City knew that the envoy of Qingji brought three hundred soldiers into Meiyuan, but they didn't know that Meiyuan had already approached an empty house, and the three hundred plainclothes soldiers were sent out by Hua Chen one after another, with people scattered all over the inner and outer cities of Qufu. If it were not for the conditions, Hua Chen would have wished to send people to the royal city to stroll.
Last night, soldiers from all walks of life were recalled to Meiyuan one after another. They didn’t know the reason, but they just had enough of the word “come back”.
In the outer courtyard of Meiyuan, Hua Chen looked at the three hundred soldiers who were re-armed and held halberds in front of him and said, "Soldiers, do you still remember our mission to Lu?"
"Remember" sounds neatly and loudly.
"I know you don't say it, but you must be thinking in your heart, what did I do? Why did you send you out for?"
There was also a phenomenon of exchanging glances between each other in the team with strict military disciplines. They really didn't understand how busy they would help the tasks assigned by the young master after so many days.
Taking the performance of the soldiers into his eyes, Hua Chen continued: "I'll tell you, for the sake of news! Only by mastering enough information can we find opportunities and breakthroughs. Now, this opportunity has come, and you can take down Mengsun's mansion!
Before the war, there should be mobilization. I have prepared fat pig wine. Each person has half a pound of meat and a bowl of wine. When I capture Mengsun’s house tonight, I will have enough wine and meat when I come back. You don’t need to understand the specific plan. You just need to remember to take down Mengsun’s end and we can wait for the arrival of the young master!”
"Roar~Roar~" the soldiers shouted loudly when they heard the last sentence.
The next scene is very spectacular. To put it simply, it is a pig roaring, a soldier yelling, and Hua Chen roaring~~
At night, three hundred soldiers, holding weapons and unlit torches, ran out of the bamboo forest under the leadership of Zheng Wenzhong, and took advantage of the night to move towards the inner city, aiming directly at Mengsun's mansion.
The night in Qufu is very quiet, with no one on the wide streets, and most of the houses on both sides are pitch black. After all, it is a bit of a luxury for civilians to light oil lamps.
The road was unobstructed, and I saw Meng Sun's mansion just ahead...
At the same time, Meng Sun's ancestral home
Ziyu knelt in front of his father's spiritual throne, then stood up after three bows, and said to Meng Sun Moyuan behind him, "Grandpa, we should also prepare to set off. After A Chen succeeds, you will still want to preside over the situation."
"Well, let's go," Meng Sun Moyuan responded. He seemed to be even older, as he was already old. His palms and backs were full of flesh. His eldest son had passed away for many years. Now, his second son would... no matter how serious the sin was, he was his own child after all.
Meng Sun was drinking happily. In order to stay calm at any time, he did not drink easily, but when he thought he could see Fuchai off tomorrow, he was still happy to drink with this "little grandfather" tonight.
Looking at Fuchai on the guest seat, he was holding a dancer's wife, drinking the wine handed to his mouth by the dancer's wife, his cheeks flushed.
In Mengsun’s house, there are music and music, dancing and drinking;
Outside Mengsun’s house, the moon is dark and the wind is high, so it is advisable to kill people.
The quiet night was broken by a shocking sound of killing. The sudden light of fire drew the night like neon lights, which looked very beautiful.
Hua Chen and Shao Zhengye led more than a hundred people into Mengsun's mansion from the front and back doors respectively, while Zheng Wenzhong surrounded the outside with dozens of people to prevent the people inside from escaping in the chaos.
Zheng Wenzhong was originally very dissatisfied with the task given to him by Hua Chen. After all, he was a general. When he started a war, he actually asked him to keep a guard. Hua Chen said: The work of surrounding and cooperating outside is the most important thing, and if Meng Sun runs away, it will be useless. After a "hard-hearted" education, Zheng Wenzhong was happily out to carry out the "important task" - leaving the guard.
Late at night, when the warriors in the mansion were unprepared, Hua Chen and Shao Zhengye attacked the mansion without much effort. Without stopping at all, Hua Chen led dozens of people to the main hall, where the lights were bright.
Meng Sun Zhiji woke up in shock by the shouts of killing outside. He quickly ordered people to take Fuchai to leave from the back door, and led a group of soldiers in the main camp of the palace. He wanted to see who dared to come to Meng Sun's mansion in the middle of the night.
As one of the Three Huans, Meng Sun clan naturally had its own army. Even Meng Sun Zhizhi had his close confidants. Unfortunately, they were all stationed outside the city. No one would believe that Meng Sun's mansion would be attacked, and Meng Sun Zhizhi himself did not believe.
The result is conceivable as more than a hundred generals from Mengsun’s mansion face hundreds of elite Hua Chen. Mengsun Zhijie, who faced the enemy head-on, was taken down by Hua Chen, and Fuchai, who fled from the back door, was captured by Shao Zheng. This made Zheng Wenzhong, who was performing an "important mission" outside, do nothing, and just blew the cold wind all night.
