Chapter 1288 Chapter 1288: A battle to determine the southwest (twenty-five) [Request for monthly votes]
"There are not many people who can trust me, Jinghe, you are different." Perhaps the leader of Qi State also knows that he The problem will aggravate the conflict between her and Mei Meng, and in addition After losing the battle, the situation was seriously unfavorable to her side, and even her words were a bit more tender than before. When Mei Meng heard this, she softened her eyebrows and sighed deeply, "Why did you resist the order before...?" < br>
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" mentioned by the country's leader 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 that old things are brought up again, it will be somewhat chilling and frightening!
Mei Meng suppressed the tiredness in her heart and twitched her lips.
He asked coldly: "What do you want to hear, Lord?"
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? To consolidate their position? Mei Meng smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know that I was still capable of Concubine Yang."
Although Mei Meng's tone was gentle and not harsh, the leader of Qi State had known her for many years, so how could he not know that Mei Meng was already angry inside? ? She opened her mouth to ease the tense atmosphere, and said sadly: "This is not Maweiyi, you are not Taizhen, Gu is not Xuanzong, and there is no escort and soldiers to coerce... Jinghe misunderstood Gu and came here, how can he not make Gu panic and heartbroken?"
Mei Meng said nothing about this.
The leader of Qi State can secure his current position because, in addition to Mei Meng's many plans, he is also capable, especially his eloquence and reaction ability. She found the best words in an instant: "Cui Zhishan recommended Gongyang Yongye and Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan was the first to lose the granary, and Gongyang Yongye suddenly turned against him. Neither you nor I know what is hidden in this. Now that I think about it, Very uneasy. "
The king's words made Qi Cang tremble violently. He didn't dare to lose his mind anymore and glanced at the king with fear.
Can he not be afraid?
The ability of those in power to tell lies makes even a man of his strength tremble with fear. If there is a rank in telling lies, the leader of Qi State is either the top or the second best! A few words can turn an unfavorable situation around, and I'm afraid Zheng Qiao will give in to her when he sees her.
Is the sudden rise of Gongyang Yongye the result of Cui’s instruction?
Was it Cui's instruction when Luo Yuan defended the granary for the first time?
The former has not yet found out the truth, while the latter has been for several months. 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. It was really exquisite!
Mei Meng also had a flash of surprise on her 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. Passive. When news of the defeat comes back, a mutiny is likely to occur."
Cui Zhi's actions, Zhong Lifu's backstab, and Cui Mi's stance all pushed Cui to the edge of the cliff. It is possible that the Cui family could strike first, either by taking advantage of the fact that the front line could not take care of the rear, and urgently relocated the family members, or by inciting the defenders to mutiny.
If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter -
It's like her hometown has been stolen.
There are powerful enemies in front of you, and traitors behind you are sharpening their knives.
How can she feel at ease in this situation?
Mei Meng's expression was shaken, and she silently held the ruler's hand, silently calming her down. 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 and shook off goosebumps.
The two are finally "reunited".
After a brief discussion, Mei Meng left with her heart full of worries.
As soon as 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 Mengang was surprised how many people like Qi Cang had fun. Despite his thoughtfulness, Qi Cang's mouth was as harsh as before: "I just remembered an old incident. Back then, Zheng Qiao had just seized the power of the Geng Kingdom and was very ambitious. He also wanted to imitate the Emperor Sun and persuade me to learn from him. I was impatient with those literary texts. So I rejected him on the spot!”
Mei Meng actually didn't want to hear what Zheng Qiao wanted, but Qi Cang, an old man, had eyes filled with anticipation of "Go ahead and ask me again." She had no choice but to cheer up and follow his instructions.
“You refused, but he wasn’t angry?”
“Of course he was angry, and he also said that speaking and spirit are the foundation, and that there are obstacles if you don’t understand literature and martial arts. I said, I go to the Gengguo Pavilion After reading it, I found that the author of these words has something wrong with him. He wants 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 makes a mistake is not to put a knife on the opponent's neck, but to threaten him with death!"
Use the words of some scripts! Said——
The world is like a large cold-faced washbasin.
At first, Qi Cang didn't understand why the script contained 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 resentful women who live in the house. They cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, and die in front of men. Often men are gentle and coax a few words, knowing full well that 'men can be trusted, sows can climb trees.' ’, I still foolishly believed it. Man, how can I know when a man would be willing to say nice things to a woman? Except for my wife who died long ago, other times he would lower his profile and say nice things to a woman just because he wants to sleep with her. "
Of course, absolutely. Most of the time he doesn't need to be coaxed at all.
Instead, the woman will coax him into sleeping 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 use you now..."
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 joy?"
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, but she asked anyway by mistake.
Qi Cang rarely showed a hint of hesitation and said with difficulty: "Zheng Qiao said, who is willing to go ahead and do it if you are unhappy? On the surface, he is scared to death, but in action, he is honest. He dares to speak out, and he It’s a remonstrance that strikes a brick wall. When I think of the day when the Lord will reverse the case for me, I will regret it when I find out the truth. And, when I think about the fact that I have my own strong character above Qing Shi, 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 monarch. This is an experience that no one can get from going to Wushan with many women. I told him at that time, you are quite a good 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 looking forward to the king’s discovery that you are the most loyal and caring courtier to her after going through Qianfan?”
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 it appears at that time, even if it is not the leader of Qi State, it will be someone else...
Mei Meng and the other party 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 stay at all. It is indeed merciful." Fish, after a symbolic fight, 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 "merciful" comment sounded very harsh.
Mei Meng: "...What do you want to say?"
Qi Cang smiled playfully: "The consummation ceremony of Jinghe..."
Before she finished her words, she was interrupted sharply by Mei Meng. : "Qi Cang!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Everyone has his own destiny. If you die one day..." Qi Cang looked Mei Meng up and down, his eyes showing a bit of unkindness. Good intentions, "Nian Zai" Because we have known each other for many years, if I am not dead, I will collect your body and bury it in the same grave with Zheng Qiao. Whether you two are companions or neighbors, we are always in the same place, which saves me the trouble of telling you when I am in a good mood. They have to travel all over the world to visit their graves. Going to their graves at once is considered to be considerate of my old arms and legs, haha!”
I just told Mei Meng to have a secret marriage for her.
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 even seriously ill!
The remaining soldiers had just gathered some of them, and the flag of Kang State rose from the horizon. The Southwest Allied Forces did not care about passing the blame and held accountable, so they urgently packed up and began to run away in a hurry. Kang Guo 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 not too far or too close, so that the Southwest Allies did not dare to breathe a complete sigh of relief. As long as they relax their nerves a little, Kang's soldiers and horses will immediately speed up and bite the tail of the remaining soldiers, or suddenly kill them when they want to make rice to replenish their strength... Over and over again, morale has sunk to the bottom, taking advantage of the chaos The number of deserting soldiers increased.
The soldiers and horses of the two parties chased each other across several states and counties, from water to land, from land to mountain roads, from mountain roads to water roads... During this period, there were several brief confrontations, and Kang's soldiers and horses took advantage of it. Kill a wave of people with high momentum and immediately retreat and turn around.
Looking at the troops being reduced day by day, the huge pressure almost overwhelmed the surviving allies of the Southwest Allies. Kang Guobing was divided into two groups, one was responsible for driving them away, and the other was responsible for intercepting their way back to the base camp. The only thing they can count on now is 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 turn the tide of the battle is too small, and the chance of death is even greater. Faced with realistic choices, what should they do?
What’s more,——
The Immortal Cultists are causing trouble everywhere, and rebellions are sweeping across the country. They have exhausted their troops and energy just to deal with the endless chaos in the territory, and how can they have free hands to support them? ah? In response, they both remained subtly quiet and stalled for time.
What time is the delay?
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, it’s time to compensate, it’s time to surrender, and it’s time to pay tribute... As long as you can still survive 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, many political enemies and feuding people have had to temporarily put aside their grudges and unite with the outside world due to the oppression of Kang State, but they can't stand it anymore and there is 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——"
The voice of a soldier came from outside the tent.
A warrior in civilian clothes came from 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 one step ahead. The commoner warrior was surprisingly Gongyang Yongye, the Marquis of Guannei who had not been seen for many days.
“Are you here to see my elder brother?”
If so, Gong Xiqiu will have to add Gong Yang Yongye’s number urgently. 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 didn't want to fight with the other party, and the more he fought with the other party, the more frustrated he became.
Gongyang Yongye looked past Gongxi Qiu and landed on Shen Tang.
“Where is Zhongli Fu?”
Shen Tang said: "I am."
Gongyang Yongye closed his eyes: "Where is Shen Tang?"
Shen Tang continued: "I am."
Two The answer 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 have heard that the leader of one party will commit suicide." I am willing to go to the enemy's lair to lurk. Shen Jun's behavior is an eye-opener for me."
"This shows that Mr. Hou's life is too short. As long as people live long, weird things can happen. We can meet him." Shen Tang was unfazed by his ridicule, and passed Gong Xiqiu and Luo Sha who had just arrived, facing Gong Yang Yongye directly, with only a hundred steps between him. To the 19th-level Guan Neihou, this distance is no different than being face to face. "May I ask the purpose of your trip?"
If he came over to challenge him, he would die.
"Come and take away the body of the younger generation, he is here with you!"
Shen Tang was prepared for this and ordered someone to carry out a coffin. The corpse in the coffin was preserved with Yun Ce's martial energy. Even though many days had passed, the corpse was still well preserved and had no rotten smell.
Although the body was carefully tidied 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 does not have a deep relationship with the young man, and he also knows that the young man is not very capable and has a bad temperament, but after all, he is his junior, and he can still be pleasing to his eyes no matter how bad he is. 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."
After that, Shen Tangying was ignored. No, I need to take the coffin with me.
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?"
Gong Yang 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 Quan should be optimistic about it. Play."
"Huh! Let's go to the southwest first, and then let's talk wildly!"
