Chapter 295 Changping Jun's Banquet (1)
"Jun Changping invited me and General Li to the banquet?"
Meng Tian took the invitation from the messenger and cut the open-close mud. After seeing the contents clearly, he was secretly surprised.
I’m afraid this dinner is a Hongmen Banquet!
"My elders said that the two generals led their troops to attack Chu, but the supply of food and supplies had to be discussed properly. While the two generals were near Chendi, they just took the time to meet and discuss."
The messenger sent by Changpingjun held the messenger, bowed with both hands, looked calm and talked in a leisurely manner.
"Changping Jun is a talented person who has been the prime minister and is more than enough to handle the logistics of a 200,000 army. Since Changping Jun is taking care of him, we just need to charge forward."
Meng Tian put away the invitation and pretended not to notice anything unusual. He said slowly: "You go back and tell Changpingjun that when you supply food and grass, the king issued an order. As the general of the army, it is difficult to ask about it. Changpingjun is the leader of everything."
"What is General Meng saying?" The messenger Qian was anxious, but said with a smile on his face, "This war is like cooking, what kind of vegetable market the chef wants to make, and what kind of ingredients they are responsible for purchasing. My adult has never taken care of military affairs, and it is the first time that the girl has gotten into the sedan chair. If she doesn't discuss with the two armies in advance, my adult can't afford to take care of any mistakes!"
"Haha, where did Changping Jun find a messenger like you, who is smart and has a bit of a kind of a magnificent person!"
Meng Tian smiled all over, and a trace of light flashed in the dark. Changpingjun's command had many talented guests.
The military merits and titles stipulate that if the title is over five doctors, the disciples can be adopted. Xiong Qi helped Ying Zheng regain his power and served as prime minister. He was granted the title of Changping Jun, and could raise his disciples openly.
"A man who is magnanimous can prosper with his words and destroys his country. I am not praised by the general."
The messenger bowed humbly, and was polite and concise, without any sign of rudeness.
"You are a messenger, but you are in a position to be humiliated."
Meng Tian nodded in appreciation. The more calm the messenger Qian was, he was not anxious or impatient, the more vigilant Meng Tian was.
"Listen to your accent, with a hint of Chu's local accent, are your ancestors from Chu?"
"General Meng is very powerful. My eldest father accidentally became a prisoner of Wu'anjun and stayed in Qin from then on."
When the messenger Qian mentioned Wu'anjun, he felt a little unnatural.
Bai Qi has been dead for nearly twenty years, and this name still puts great pressure on people.
Meng Tian kept changing his tricks and talking to the messenger, asking him who his eldest father was, where he lived, and how he entered the shogunate of Changpingjun.
The messenger responded carefully and did not reveal too much information. He only said that the people of Chu were wandering to Qin and were not familiar with the places. When they saw the people of Chu who were good at serving him, they were willing to serve him.
There is nothing to blame for such a statement.
Until more than two thousand years later, when Chinese people arrived in a foreign land, they still liked to organize various fellow villagers' associations and fellow villagers' associations.
However, the messenger Qian still underestimated Meng Tian.
Meng Tian stayed in the army all year round and was exposed to various information, and had long been extremely sensitive to some tiny information.
Between the lines, combined with the information sent back by Jing Su, Meng Tian further confirmed it.
Almost all the disciples recruited by the Changping Jun Xiong Qi were from Chu, and there were even many servants who came to Chu.
Xiong Qi recruited Chu disciples, Chen Ying, who was stationed in Chu, now invited Li Xin and Meng Tian to the banquet, which obviously showed that there was no good banquet.
If you don't do it well, it will lose your head.
"Send a message to Li Xin immediately and let him walk slowly into the city, be careful of changes in the city."
After sending someone to arrange a messenger to rest, Meng Tian called Mole and immediately wrote a letter to send it to Li Xin's camp overnight tomorrow.
The bronze oil lamp exploded with a crackling sound. Under the swaying light, a hint of anxiety flashed in Meng Tian's eyes.
Li Xin, Li Xin, don't rush into Changpingjun's net nest...
"General, do you really want to attend Changpingjun's dinner?"
After the mole left with the letter, Meng Bao, who had always been bold, became a little worried.
After Meng Hu left, Meng Bao was responsible for Meng Tian's safety, and he could no longer be as uneasy as before.
"They are so good at wine and meat, so I look forward to it, why don't you go?" Meng Tian smiled and waved his hand. "What is Xiong Qi's idea in his heart? I guess it's almost the same. If I can't settle Chen Ying's affairs, I will lead my army south, how can I feel at ease......"
On the west side of Meng Tian’s Central Army camp, in a clean and remote tent, the messenger led the grass to eat some bamboo rice, washed up, lay on the couch, and fell asleep in his clothes.
He had never thought about making any extraordinary actions. This was Meng Tian’s central army camp. I think the nearby soldiers had already arranged patrols.
The messenger closed his eyes and recalled the conversation with Meng Tian in the evening.
In his opinion, with Meng Tian's performance, Meng Tian did not have the intention to go to Chen Ying.
Since Meng Tian’s goal of marching was not Chen Ying and Changpingjun’s plan, I think Li Xin has not found anything unusual.
"No matter what, by tomorrow night, Meng Tian will be a dead body..."
Thinking of Meng Tian's promise to go to Chen Ying for a banquet tomorrow, the messenger Qian felt that he had successfully completed the mission of the trip.
As for how Changpingjun responds to Chen Ying, he doesn't care about his business.
Meng Tian kept him camping in the army because it was too late. In order not to arouse Meng Tian's suspicion, the messenger Qian did not refuse.
At the beginning of the next day, Mole was carrying Meng Tian’s letter and rushed to Li Xin’s camp.
"I want to see General Li..."
The mole took out the military card from his arms, checked his identity, and hurried to Li Xin's commander's tent.
"The general took the captain Gui to Chen Ying early in the morning."
"broken!"
When the mole heard this, he quickly changed into a war horse, and rushed towards Chen Ying's direction without stopping.
When he arrived at the gate of Chen Yingnan City about ten miles away, the mole finally caught up with Li Xin's team.
I saw Li Xin, the captain Gui, and a hundred and ten short-soldiers, walking slowly.
Chen County belongs to the territory of Qin, so everyone seems very relaxed.
Even though Changping Jun arrived at the place, he was still Changping Jun of Qin. Xiong Qifa wanted to invite him. After Li Xin received it, he attached great importance to it and rushed to Chen Ying early in the morning.
On the one hand, Li Xin wanted to show respect for Changpingjun, after all, Xiong Qi's title was higher than him. On the other hand, Li Xin also wanted to discuss the supply of food and grass with Xiong Qi.
During these days, Xiong Qichao's food and grass to Li Xin's army were only three days in total, and Li Xin wanted to carry one month's food storage.
"General Li stays there, my general has a letter to the general!"
The mole caught up with Li Xin when he rode a horse, jumped off his mount, took out the letter from his arms, and presented it to Li Xin respectfully.
In front of the mole, Li Xin is like a mountain.
Did Meng Tian send a letter?
Li Xin frowned and was a little unhappy. Meng Tian led his army to approach him, and did not directly break into Chu like he did in Zhao State. In his opinion, it was a sign of timidity.
Only when the 200,000 Qin troops join forces may feel safer.
Li Xin opened the seal, swept the contents on the bamboo slips, and chuckled:
"Hey, Meng Tian is still young after all, and she acts in a state of voluntary way. Because the Meng family and Changpingjun had some conflicts, she randomly suspected Changpingjun and asked me to deal with it carefully. This is what a colleague who fought side by side should say......"
Chapter completed!
