Chapter 1288 1288: A battle to determine the southwest (Twenty-five) [Please vote for me]
"There are not many people who can be trusted by Gu, but you are different from Jinghe." Perhaps the leader of Qi State also knew that his problems would inflame the conflict between her and Mei Meng. In addition, after losing the battle, the situation was seriously unfavorable to her side.
Even her words were filled with the warmth of the past. When Mei Meng heard these words, she softened her eyebrows. She sighed deeply and said, "Why did you resist the order before?"
Mei Meng's softened spikes stood up again.
She looked at the king in front of her, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
The "resistance" in the words of the king naturally refers to Mei Meng's absence from the rear to supervise the country. The reason why this matter was not mentioned before was because Cui Zhi left before the battle, and Mei Meng was the only minister who could take his place to calm the situation. Now the old matter is brought up again,
How chilling and frightening it is!
Mei Meng suppressed the tiredness in her heart and twitched her lips.
He asked coldly: "What do you want to hear, Lord?"
Do you want to hear her take the initiative to take all the blame for the defeat of the war? Sacrifice her and make her a target for others to vent their anger? In order to stabilize her position? Mei Meng smiled bitterly: "I didn't know that I still had Concubine Yang.
Ability."
Although Mei Meng's tone was calm and not harsh, how could the leader of Qi State, who had known her for many years, not know that Mei Meng was already angry? She opened her mouth to ease the tense atmosphere and said sadly: "This is not Maweiyi, you are not too true, Gu Ye
It’s not Xuanzong, and there are no escorts or soldiers to coerce it... Jinghe misunderstood Gu to this point, how can he not make Gu panic and feel sad?"
Mei Meng said nothing about this.
The leader of Qi State was able to secure his current position. In addition to Mei Meng's many plans, he also had abilities, especially eloquence and reaction ability. She found the best words in an instant: "Cui Zhishan recommended Gongyang Yongye and Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan
The granary was lost first, and Gongyang Yongye suddenly turned against him. Neither you nor I know what was going on. Now that I think about it, I feel very uneasy."
The king's words made Qi Cang tremble violently. He didn't dare to lose his mind anymore and looked at the king with fear in his eyes.
Can he not be afraid?
The ability of those in power to tell lies makes even a person of his level tremble with fear. If there is a rank in telling lies, the leader of the Qi Kingdom is not only top-notch but also second-rate! A few words can turn an unfavorable situation around, and I am afraid that Zheng Qiao will be willing to bow down to her when he sees her.
Was Gongyang Yongye’s sudden rise in power the result of Cui’s instruction?
Was it Cui's instruction when Luo Yuan defended the granary for the first time?
The truth of the former has not yet been found out, and several months have passed for the latter. But through the words of the leader of Qi State, the two things were blended together in such an understatement. Even Cui Zhi's departure before the battle had a logical and logical explanation, which is really exquisite!
There was also a flash of surprise on Mei Meng's face.
The king didn't seem to notice, and held Mei Meng's hand: "If Jinghe is still in the country to supervise the country, there will be at least one trusted confidant in the capital. Now, he is passive. The news of the defeat has spread.
Come back, I'm afraid there's going to be a mutiny."
Cui Zhi's actions, Zhong Lifu's backstabbing, and Cui Mi's stance all pushed the Cui family to the edge of the cliff. The Cui family may have preempted the attack, either by taking advantage of the fact that the front line could not take care of the rear, and urgently transferred the family members, or by instigating
A mutiny broke out among the guards.
If it’s the former, that’s fine, if it’s the latter——
It was as if her hometown had been stolen.
There are powerful enemies in front of you, and traitors behind you are sharpening their swords.
How can she feel at ease in this situation?
Mei Meng's expression was shaken, and she held the king's hand silently, silently comforting her emotions. The tense explosives in the air disappeared with a pop, as if they had never appeared. Qi Cang looked at the monarch and his ministers, and secretly shrugged his shoulders.
Goosebumps all over the place.
The two are finally "reunited".
After a brief discussion, Mei Meng left with her heart full of worries.
When she turned her head, she saw Qi Bian's old face, which looked like it had been constipated for many years. She said helplessly: "You can laugh if you want, I'm not angry."
Qi Cang said: "I can't laugh."
Mei Menggang was surprised that Qi Cang, a cheerful man, was also somewhat considerate, but Qi Cang's mouth was as harsh as before: "I just remembered an old incident. When Zheng Qiaogang seized power in the Geng Kingdom, he was very ambitious and wanted to imitate Emperor Sun.
, he encouraged me to learn from him, but I was impatient with those literary works, so I rejected him on the spot!"
Mei Meng actually didn't want to hear what Zheng Qiao wanted to do, but Qi Cang's eyes were filled with anticipation of "Go ahead and ask me." She had no choice but to cheer up and follow his instructions.
"You refused and he wasn't angry?"
"He was naturally angry. He also said that the spirit of speech is the foundation, and there are obstacles if you are not familiar with writing and martial arts. I said, I went to the Gengguo Pavilion and found that the authors of these speeches and spirits have problems. The officials want to blame the master.
A woman who is not an official hates that she is not the master! The way to persuade the master who has made a mistake is not to put a knife to the opponent's neck, but to threaten him with death by banging against a pillar!"
In the words of some scripts——
This world is just a big cold-faced bastard.
At first, Qi Cang didn't understand why the script included such weird slang, but when he thought about the resentful woman, he felt so sad and unsentimental in his actions, serving the men of the family with food, clothing, housing and transportation, taking care of them.
Sleeping, he felt it was so wonderful!
Slang is indeed slang, accurate!
Mei Meng vaguely knew what Qi Cang was being mean about.
Qi Cang said: "I see that the same is true for those women who are deeply resentful at home. They cry, make trouble, and hang themselves to death in front of men. Often men are gentle and coax a few words, but they still foolishly believe it even though they know that 'a sow can climb a tree if a man is reliable.'
.But I am a man. How can I know when a man would be willing to say nice things to a woman and flatter her? Except for my mother-in-law who died long ago, I would lower my profile and say nice things to a woman at other times just because I want to sleep with her."
Of course, most of the time, he doesn't need to be coaxed at all.
Instead, the woman will coax him to sleep with her.
This is the charm of power.
Qi Cang said quietly: "The same applies to you and your ministers. She is willing to talk softly to you now because she wants to take advantage of you..."
Mei Meng pursed her lips: "I know."
How could she not know the original intention of the leader of Qi State's question? She knew it, but she still deceived herself. Qi Cang couldn't bear it any longer. He was curious: "You swallow the pain in your stomach like a resentful woman. This will give you spiritual relief."
Joy of clouds and rain?”
Qi Cang's question was quite vulgar.
Mei Meng brushed off her black face.
Qi Cang said: "How do you think Zheng Qiao will answer?"
Mei Meng didn't want to ask in her heart, but she did it anyway.
Qi Cang rarely showed a hint of hesitation, and said with difficulty: "Zheng Qiao said, who is willing to do it if you are unhappy? On the surface, he is scared to death, but in his actions, he is honest. He dares to speak out, but he also hits the wall with his advice.
When I think about the day when my lord will reverse the case for me and find out the truth, I feel extremely regretful. When I think about the fact that I have my own iron and steel above the ancient history, I am no longer afraid of death, and my whole body becomes stiff. The ministers will get excited from the fear and disappointment of the lord, then
It was an experience that no matter how many women I went to Wushan with, I would never get it. I said to him at that time, you are quite a nice person..."
This made Qi Cang unable to look directly at the confrontation between Zheng Qiao and the group of civil and military personnel for a long time, as if he was watching a large-scale divine intercourse.
How could there be such fornication in the world?
"Are you also hoping that after experiencing Qianfan, the king will find that you are the most loyal and caring minister to her?"
The court is also a large harem.
Mei Meng took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.
"I'm not that cheap!" Although the process is the same, the starting point is different. Mei Jinghe's actions throughout his life are just to practice his own life. As long as he appears at that time, even if he is not the leader of Qi State, he will be someone else.
…
Mei Meng and each other cooperate more with each other.
Qi Cang said oh without sincerity.
He reminded Mei Meng thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the Lord did not ask whether I would stay or leave at all, which is indeed merciful."
Qi Cang basically fished for fish in the battle last night. He fought symbolically for a while, but he had not exerted his full strength. The king did not ask a question, but Mei Meng, who was doing his best, was questioned. Qi Cang's "mercy"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted sharply by Mei Meng: "Qi Cang!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Everyone has his or her own destiny. If you die one day..." Qi Cang looked Mei Meng up and down, with a hint of ill-intention in his eyes, "Because we have known each other for many years, I
If he's not dead, I'll collect your body for you and bury him in the same grave with Zheng Qiao. Whether you two are companions or neighbors, you'll always be in the same place. This saves me from having to travel all over the world to visit your grave any day I'm in a good mood.
Visiting the tomb of two people at once is considered to be considerate of my old arms and legs, haha!"
All she had to do was tell Mei Meng that she would have a secret marriage.
It disgusted Mei Meng and disgusted Zheng Qiao, killing two birds with one stone.
Mei Meng was so angry that she lost control: "You are sick!"
Some are still seriously ill!
As soon as the remnant soldiers had gathered some of their troops, the flag of Kang State rose from the horizon. The Southwest Allied Forces did not bother to blame others and immediately packed up and began to run away in a hurry. However, Kang State seemed to be addicted to teasing.
Run and chase, chase and stop.
Each time, they suppressed their speed and deliberately maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close, so that the southwest allied forces did not dare to breathe a complete sigh of relief. As long as they relaxed their nerves a little, the Kangguo soldiers and horses immediately accelerated and bit the tail of the remaining soldiers, or when they thought When he was making rice to replenish his strength, he suddenly came to kill... again and again, morale sank to the bottom, and more soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The soldiers and horses of the two parties chased each other across several states and counties, from waterways to land roads, from land roads to mountain roads, from mountain roads to waterways... During this period, there were several brief encounters, and the Kangguo soldiers and horses took advantage of the high momentum to kill a wave of people. He immediately retreated and turned around.
Seeing the troops shrinking day by day, the huge pressure almost overwhelmed the surviving allies of the Southwest Allied Forces. Kang Guo soldiers were divided into two groups, one responsible for driving them away, and the other responsible for intercepting their way back to the base camp. The only thing they can count on now It means reinforcements from the rear, which may be able to attack Kang's troops from head to tail.
I persisted with this thought for seven or eight days.
As everyone knows, Shen Tang's side has already spread the flames of the war to all parties, and there is also Cui's push, who has already accepted his fate.
The left-behind forces in various countries are beating the drum in their hearts.
The chance of reinforcements coming to reverse the situation is too small, and the chance of death is even greater. Faced with a realistic choice, what should they do?
not to mention--
The Immortal Cultists are causing trouble in various places, and rebellions are sweeping across the country. They have exhausted their troops and energy just to deal with the endless chaos in the territory, so how can they be free to provide support? In this regard, they all remain subtle and quiet, stalling for time.
Delay for what time?
Naturally, it was to delay the surrender of the remaining soldiers on the front line.
As long as this battle really comes to an end, it will be over.
After that, it’s time to admit defeat, to pay compensation, to surrender, to pay tribute... As long as you can still tolerate it for a while, it’s not unacceptable to tolerate humiliation for a while. In addition, their doubts about each other are also a major factor. Since the beginning of the war Since then, many feuding political enemies have had to temporarily put aside their grudges and unite with the outside world because of the oppression of Kang State. But they couldn't hold it back and there was another update!
The old grudge has not been avenged, but a new one has been added!
In this situation, who can be magnanimous and disregard past grudges?
If it weren't for a frontline war, I would have wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the opponent!
Now that we have lost the battle, do you want them to send troops to rescue people?
There are no doors!
"Report——"
Soldiers' voices came from outside the tent.
A warrior in civilian clothes came outside the camp, shot an arrow through the sentry tower, and asked to see the Lord by name. When Shen Tang heard the news, Gong Xiqiu had already arrived. The warrior in civilian clothes had not been seen for many days. Guanneihou Gongyang Yongye.
"Are you here to see my elder brother?"
If so, Gong Xiqiu needs to give Gong Yang Yongye an urgent number. It's best to let this old guy give birth to Qibao and raise the baby in peace, instead of coming out to cause trouble every now and then. Gong Xiqiu really doesn't want to follow The other party is fighting, and the more you fight with the other party, the more frustrated you become.
Gongyang Yongye looked past Gongxi Qiu and landed on Shen Tang.
"Where is Zhonglifu?"
Shen Tang said: "I am."
Gongyang Yongye closed his eyes: "Where is Shen Tang?"
Shen Tang continued: "I am."
The two answers should have made Gongyang Yongye laugh angrily: "I have fought countless tough battles, big and small, in my life, but this is the first time I heard that the leader of one side would willingly go to the enemy's lair to lurk. Shen Jun It'll open my eyes if you do this."
"This shows that Mr. Hou's life is still too short. As long as a person lives long, he can encounter all kinds of weird things." Shen Tang was unfazed by his ridicule, and passed Gong Xiqiu and Luo Sha who had just arrived. Facing Gongyang Yongye, there was only a hundred steps between us. To the 19th-level Guan Neihou, this distance was no different from being face to face. "May I ask the purpose of your visit?"
If he came over and challenged him to a duel, he would be risking his own death.
"Come and take away the body of this younger generation, he is here with you!"
Shen Tang was well prepared for this and ordered someone to carry out a coffin. The body in the coffin was preserved with Yun Ce's martial energy. Even though it had been many days, the body was still well preserved and had no smell of decay.
Although the body was carefully cleaned up and all the wounds were carefully mended, it is still not difficult to see how horrific his death was.
Gongyang Yongye looked at the young man in the coffin with sadness.
What is more cruel than not having it is not having it.
He didn't have a deep relationship with the young man, and he knew that the young man was not very capable and had a bad temperament, but after all, he was his junior, and he could still be pleasing to his eyes no matter how bad he was. He could not help but regret that he died in vain at such a young age.
He closed the coffin board with the wind of his palm: "I owe you this favor. If you need it in the future, you can send someone to send it."
After all, regardless of whether Shen Tang responded or not, he took the coffin and left.
Shen Tang said to his back: "I want to rule the world and send my troops to the south one day. If you have time, please come and take a look."
"You also want me to work for you?"
Gongyang Yongye’s words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
Shen Tang asked back: "The Marquis has not sacrificed his life for the Southwest Allied Forces, so naturally I don't dare to fight with them. I'm just worried that there are few people and I won't be popular. I want the Marquis to join in the fun, so I should just watch the show."
"Hmph! Let's enter the southwest first, and then let's talk wildly!"
