Upon hearing that there was a message coming from Chang'an, all the Northern Army generals in the camp turned their eyes, which shocked the soldier who delivered the message.
Seeing this, the soldier who delivered the letter raised the envelope in his hand and said weakly: "Generals, please take a look. This is a document sent by someone from Chang'an as a matter of urgency."
The leader of the veteran rolled his eyes, and was the first to react. He stepped forward, grabbed the envelope into his hand, and asked, "Besides this letter, is there anything else that was sent with you?"
The soldier who delivered the letter shook his head and said: "The postman only sent this, and I told the young one to be sure to hand it over to the Marquis."
Seeing that he couldn't find anything else to ask, the veteran waved his hand and said, "Now that your letter has been delivered, I have nothing to do without you. Come on down."
The soldier who delivered the message, as if he had received an amnesty, performed a military salute in the direction of Meng Tian and on both sides of the tent, and then hurriedly exited the tent.
As soon as the messenger left, the young military general asked: "The old general is so majestic. In the presence of the Marquis, he dared to accept the letter from the Marquis and ask questions on his behalf. Such indifference, how can you do it?"
Do you take Mr. Hou seriously?"
The veteran general has experienced many more trials and hardships than the young general. Naturally, he will not be shocked by the young general's words. Instead, he said without hesitation: "Don't young people know that envelopes can be poisoned? This is what this general is doing."
I accepted the envelope because of the Marquis, do you understand?"
The young general couldn't help being speechless. He had lived for more than thirty years, and this was probably the first time he had seen such a shameless person.
The veteran ignored him, but tore open the seal in a few moments, took out the letter and took a quick look at it, with a look of surprise on his face involuntarily.
When Meng Tian saw this, an angry look appeared on his face. The young military general had obviously warned the veteran general, but he dared to open the letter in front of him. It was really a bit presumptuous.
"Old General, that is my letter," Meng Tian said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Meng Tian's expression of confusion, the veteran knew that he was in the wrong and quickly handed over the letter with both hands: "Master Marquis, please read it."
Meng Tian took the letter coldly and opened it: "Two generations of the Meng family have been granted the title of marquis, one for loyalty and one for loyalty, which is enough to prove that the Meng family has been loyal and loyal for generations. Now I heard that there are treasonous people in the army in the north. I wish you to be loyal and loyal."
The Marquis will check carefully and cut off those who are plotting against him, so that the Meng family and the family will not fall down, and the northern land of Shizhen will be protected by Hu Hai."
After Meng Tian read it, he threw the letter on the desk with a gloomy expression.
Seeing this, a strange color flashed in the veteran's eyes, and he cupped his hands to Meng Tian and said: "Master Hou, General Yi Mo will see that this letter from the other party is full of goodwill. If Master Hou can't make a decision, why don't you tell us?
Let’s discuss it together?”
Meng Tian looked at the veteran coldly and said, "You have read the letter, do you think it is a good intention?"
The veteran immediately replied: "If I say it alone, it doesn't matter. It's better to speak it out and discuss it together."
Without waiting for Meng Tian to stop him, the veteran turned around and said to the other people in the camp: "The letter was written by Mr. Hu Hai to the Marquis. It is written clearly. As long as the Marquis cuts off some rebellious villains, there will be no further investigation."
Some of the past mistakes of the Marquis."
After finishing speaking, the veteran general stared at the group of young generals with unkind expressions.
Seeing the veteran's behavior, and combined with the content of the letter, the veterans immediately understood the meaning of the letter, and they all stared at the young generals with malicious eyes.
To put it bluntly, Hu Hai just told Meng Tian to kill all the henchmen left by Fusu, and I would forget about it, and your Meng family will still guard the north and enjoy all the glory.
The young military generals naturally understood what Hu Hai wanted to express in this letter, and even saw what the veterans of the Northern Army wanted to express. Ju Jie secretly cheered up and looked at the veteran group with wary expressions.
Inside the camp, a tense atmosphere quietly descended and enveloped everyone.
Meng Tian didn't know that the veteran general's intention was to sacrifice the confidants left behind by Mr. Fusu to protect the Northern Army and the Meng family from being affected.
But how could Meng Tian, who considered himself loyal and good, do such a thing as betraying his subordinates and betraying Fusu? Even if Fusu died, Meng Tian would not betray him.
Therefore, Meng Tian said seriously: "There is no need to discuss it. I will never obey Hu Hai, a despicable and shameless brother-killer."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young generals showed relief, while the faces of the veteran generals turned ugly.
The veteran was anxious when he heard this: "Master Hou, as the saying goes, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Master Fu Su is dead, and the world will eventually belong to Master Hu Hai. Why should Master Hou offend the future for these stupid young men?"
Where is the Lord of the World?"
"Now Young Master Hu Hai has personally written a letter to advise the Marquis. As long as the Marquis obeys his wishes and takes the initiative to send the heads of these people, and then stays contented and loyal to the country, Young Master Hu Hai, as the future lord of the world, will never break his promise and get rich.
.The Marquis and the Northern Army will never be implicated again, this deal is worth it."
When Meng Tian heard these words, his dissatisfaction with the veteran accumulated to the extreme, and he shouted loudly: "Shut up, are you the commander-in-chief or am I the commander-in-chief? Don't rely on your seniority to openly provoke me.
Hou. I will put my words here today. I have the final say on this matter. Anyone who has any objections will be dealt with according to the military law for violating military orders."
"Everyone retreat and wait for my military order."
The veteran's face was extremely ugly, and in the end he was dragged away from Mengtian's camp by his colleagues with an unwilling look on his face.
The faces of the young generals showed a look of gloating.
After leaving Meng Tian's camp, the veteran general suddenly said to his colleagues: "This is really useless. Are you interested in going to my general's place for a drink?"
I have to say that Meng Tian's performance greatly disappointed them.
At first, Meng Tian rashly supported Fusu and involved the Northern Army in the struggle for the throne, which already made these generals dissatisfied. However, after all, Fusu was the eldest son of Emperor Qin and had a high chance of succeeding, so they could reluctantly accept it.
Now that Fusu is dead, Meng Tian refuses Hu Hai's kindness for a dead man. In their opinion, it is simply stupid.
Therefore, when the veteran invited them all, they all agreed.
After everyone came to the veteran's tent and sat down, as soon as the food and wine were served, the veteran was the first to sigh: "Do you still remember the scene when the old marquis brought you and me to the North? When the world was first settled, the emperor's army
We suffered heavy losses, and your Majesty only sent us 30,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 civilians."
"Under the leadership of the old Marquis, we have worked hard, trained new soldiers, and conquered the Hu people. After many years, we have the Northern Army with hundreds of thousands of elites running across the North. But now we see that the Northern Army is about to
I am really heartbroken by the decline."
Someone next to him sighed and said: "But what can be done about this? As the general, Meng Tian insists on his own way, without caring about your and my feelings. Even though we are his uncles, we are still helpless."
The veteran gritted his teeth and said, "But I'm not willing to do it."
Everyone spoke to comfort him: "It's okay, maybe things are not so bad."
When the veteran heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said: "Yes, things are indeed not at their worst yet, but do you dare to give it a try with me?"
Someone said in horror: "You really don't want to take the risk of disobeying military orders to persuade Meng Tian. Disobeying military orders is a capital crime."
The veteran shook his head: "I can't persuade you anymore, but we can go one step ahead, gather your subordinates, and kill all Fusu's henchmen. In this way, the matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if Meng Tian wants to go his own way, it will be useless.
.I just don’t know if you guys dare to take action with me?”
As soon as the old man said these words, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became cold, until one of them patted his thigh and said: "The labor and management have long been dissatisfied with those young people who don't know the heights of the world, so fuck them."
The veterans turned their attention to other people. Some people made suggestions, some took the lead, and the veteran group who had long been dissatisfied responded one after another: "Listen to my brother and give him a vote."
The veteran stood up abruptly and shouted: "Okay, you and I will have a peaceful banquet here first, and then we will lead our inner circle until midnight and catch all those young people in one fell swoop. Come on, let's do it together."
The other veterans quickly raised their wine bottles and shouted the same: "Do it."
