Mu Yunhan waited for several days, but still saw no sign from Meng Jia.
Mu Li took her handwritten letter to the Jiangxia Camp. She was not able to see Meng Jia, but she heard some news.
King Fuchuan had ascended the throne and announced to the world that he was afraid that Meng Jia and other generals with military power would not obey him, so he sent a special envoy to make Meng Jia king of Jiangxia.
This is bribery and temptation.
If Meng Jia accepts the appointment, it means that Meng Jia has no different intentions.
If he refuses to accept the seal, it means that Meng Jia has counter-intentions.
However, whether to listen to Feng or not is not Meng Jia's business alone. He also has to consider the thoughts of his generals and the opinions of Jiangxia gentry.
For this purpose, Meng Jia's tent was always brightly lit.
Mu Li hurried back to report: "I'm afraid General Meng won't have time to deal with this matter in the near future. We should start handling this matter immediately."
Mu Yunhan said: "Okay."
She has contacted Wu Yanzhuang and can set off to find him some day.
Although Mengjia would be furious, he would not blame his generals for such a thing.
Mu Li immediately started to arrange the matter, and Xiaomi thought about it: "Madam, do you think General Meng will agree?"
Mu Yunhan said: "You won't agree."
In terms of strength, King Fuchuan is no match for Meng Jia.
The puppet imperial court was in a precarious situation at this moment, and it was impossible to allocate energy and financial resources to support the Jiangxia camp against Qi. On the contrary, it had to count on Meng Jia to defend Baojiang.
Therefore, if Meng Jia accepts the title, he will not get any benefits from the puppet court, but it will only make him more constrained in his future actions.
It is better to refuse to accept the title now and raise the flag to attack King Fuchuan's treason and usurpation and regicide. Whatever he does in the future will be justifiable and logical.
What's more, based on her understanding of Meng Jia, he probably wouldn't bother doing such a thing.
Xiaomi thought for a while and said: "But by refusing to accept the title and angering King Fuchuan, wouldn't it mean that he was attacked from both sides?"
It is not impossible that the puppet imperial court and the Qi people united to attack Mengjia together.
Mu Yunhan thought for a moment and felt that in such a short period of time, King Fuchuan might not be able to subdue the rebels of all sizes. Even if he wanted to join forces with the people of Qi, it might not be that easy.
So she still insisted that Meng Jia would not accept the ban.
For two consecutive days, the weather was calm, but the weather became colder and colder each day.
Mu Yunhan was anxious, so he packed his things and prepared to go looking for Wu Yanzhuang.
Just as he was about to get up, Meng Shiwu came: "Madam, please pack your things. There will be heavy fog on the river tonight, so I will send you across the river just in time."
Mu Yunhan was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Meng Shiwu smiled bitterly: "There is no joke in the army. The general is the one who gives orders. He means what he says and will not go back on his word."
Mu Yunhan had packed up her things a long time ago and asked people to prepare meals. She talked to Meng Shishi herself: "What did he plan for that matter?"
Meng Shiwu sighed: "Don't refuse, don't take the initiative, don't express your position, just delay."
He scratched his head and felt a little anxious: "The war is coming, and there is no room for distraction. If we can defeat the Qi army this time, or we can have a peaceful life, let's talk about it then."
When a group of people walked to the river, they saw a layer of fog rising on the river, which became thicker and thicker as time went by.
A small boat emerged from the reeds, and Meng Shiwu said: "Let's just say goodbye."
Mu Yunhan handed over a box: "Here it is for you, general."
Meng Shiwu didn't dare to accept it: "What is it?"
Mu Yunhan smiled: "A letter to say goodbye to him."
