Chapter 296 Changping Jun's Banquet (2)
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are factions, and where there are factions, there are conflicts.
Since Lao Ai and Lu Buwei fell, the powerful Ying Zheng took power and many ministers were able to cooperate, but it does not mean that there is no conflict in the court.
After Wei Ran and Bai Qi, the king of Qin continued to focus on the tradition of using Shandong people, while Meng Ao successfully became the number one person in the Qin military with his diligence during the era of King Zhaoxiang.
After Meng Ao's death, Ying Zheng began to promote the Wang family and his son to reduce the influence of the Montessori clan, but it was more for the balance of forces in the military than to completely eliminate the influence of the Montessori in the military.
The Meng family and the Wang family's army received hints from Ying Zheng, and intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the efforts of the Chu people to regain military power.
Xiong Qi was the prime minister, and it was not without the idea of promoting the Chu children to lead the army, but it was always unsatisfactory.
After a while, the Chu forces represented by Xiong Qi secretly hated the Montessus.
As an old Qin man from Guanzhong in Pinyang, Wang should have his own position in the army. In Xiong Qi's view, it was precisely because of the Meng clan from Qi, Shandong that blocked the way for the Chu children to get involved in military power.
A few days ago, Xiong Qi received news that Meng Tian, who was dissatisfied with the military order, collided with the commander's central army camp and ordered his personal soldiers to chop Mi Hao's head.
Who is Mi Hao?
That is the descendant of Huayang Jun, and Changping Jun and Huayang Jun have a deep connection.
Xiong Qi was not very responsible for Empress Dowager Huayang in his early years. He still remembers the words of Empress Dowager Huayang. The Chu people were in Qin and were separated from the Qin people after all, so the Chu people must be even more united.
Remembering the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Xiong Qi strongly supported Mi Hao's development into the army. Over the years, Mi Hao has been operating as a general who has entered Xianyang.
This time, Li Xin attacked Chu. In Xiong Qi's plan, the Qin army led by Mi Hao played an important role in disrupting the Qin camp from the inside, but unexpectedly, they were beheaded by Meng Tian.
As the chief general of the army, Li Xin had his own source of information and knew the conflict between Meng Tian and Changpingjun, so he did not take Meng Tian's reminder to heart.
In Li Xin's opinion, Meng Tian was afraid of Changpingjun's blame, so he deliberately pulled him to endorse Meng Tian's behavior of killing Mi Hao.
At the beginning of the next hour, Meng Tian led his personal soldiers with his back to Qiuyang and soon arrived outside Chen Ying's east city gate.
"General Meng, it's just for a banquet. Why are you bringing so many people?"
The messenger was sitting in the carriage, holding the shaft, smiling all over, feeling quite uneasy.
"My close soldiers followed me from Nanyang to Shangjun, fought back from Shangjun to Wei, fought south and north, and died for a lifetime." Meng Tian held a horse whip and pointed at the team behind him. "Mr. Changping invited me to a banquet, but let these brothers stay in the military camp for free. I feel sorry!"
"My adults can understand General Meng's intention to protect his stern soldiers. As long as the general speaks, my adults will send someone to deliver sumptuous meals to the barracks to work on the army. How can everyone rush to the road!"
The messenger cursed in his heart, and went to the banquet with five thousand soldiers, which was the rhythm of wanting to be poor.
"I killed Mi Hao, whom Changping Jun favored him. At this time, Changping Jun invited me to the banquet, and I was really worried." Meng Tian turned around and stared at the messenger Qian, smiling, "I am safe only when the short-soldier is on my side."
"General Meng was joking. Mi Hao's belly was just filled with half a pot of water. He was like Zhao Kuo, and he was talking big, but he actually didn't know how to use troops." The messenger Qian looked at Meng Tian's expression quietly, guessing Meng Tian's intention.
"As for saying favor, such a joke is not allowed."
In ancient Chinese society, when it comes to favor favor, it generally refers to the king's favor for the queen and wife. The favor between men refers specifically to the favor of Long Yang and the habit of cutting off the sleeves.
However, at this time, there was already a legend of Long Yang's goodness, and the story of the obsession with breaking sleeves has not yet happened.
Meng Tian said that Changping Jun favored Mi Hao, but the messenger Qian felt that this was nonsense.
Changpingjun did provide a lot of help to Mi Hao, but the two really had no relationship with the chrysanthemums that were damaged by the chrysanthemums.
“Dadadadada······”
The two of them were talking and laughing insincerely, and unknowingly, they had already reached five miles away from the city gate. At this time, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the official road ahead.
The southerly sun shines on the knight, illuminating a familiar figure.
That was the mole sent by Meng Tian to Li Xin's camp.
The mole anxiously whipped the mount under his crotch, and his face looked very anxious and a little resentful.
It can be seen that he suffered a lot of grievances in Li Xin's place.
"General..."
The mole's eyes noticed the messenger on the carriage, swallowed the words in his mouth, and thought of another set of words: "I went to General Li's camp to convey the general's idea of joining troops. Unexpectedly, General Li said that the general became more and more timid as he lived, and said that when the general entered the city, he would teach the general a lesson."
"Thank you for a hard time, go to the back and take a rest!"
After hearing the Mole's words, Meng Tian sighed in his heart. Li Xin did not listen to his reminder. He should have gone into the city now.
"Send the order and prepare to enter the city!"
Meng Tian waved forward, and the team that was still walking slowly just now accelerated and started trotting.
"General Meng, what's going on?" The carriage flew around, and the messenger almost fell into trouble. "The city gate is right in front of you, so you don't have to be so anxious."
"Haha, I can't wait to enter the city..."
Meng Tian ignored the complaints of the messenger, protected the messenger, rushed forward and rushed towards the city gate.
"Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly!"
The commander Yun, who was guarding the East City, saw that something was wrong, immediately ordered someone to go to the gate of the city.
Meng Tian led his army to come, which was beyond Du Wei Yun's expectations, but Meng Tian's army was slowly walking and had no intention of speeding up, so Du Wei Yun gave up his mind.
He did not expect that when he arrived in Sanli, Meng Tian's cavalry suddenly accelerated and rushed to the city gate at a speed that was lightning speed.
The cavalry's raid was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"Swoosh--"
Only a sharp arrow was heard slashing through the air, and a three-sided crossbow arrow was impartially imposed on the neck of Duwei Yun.
Jing Su led the lurking dark eagle to jump out of the hidden house and ran to the city gate in a few steps. After a few rounds, the soldiers who were closing the city gate soon fell into a pool of blood.
The soldiers at the city gate had not yet understood what was going on. The Qin army that snatched into the city had already guarded the key points of the city gate.
Changpingjun was preparing for his plan to rebel against Qin, but at this time the ordinary soldiers seemed at a loss.
"General Meng, what are you doing? How can you attack friendly forces?"
The messenger Qian's face turned pale and his body kept trembling. Meng Tian's sudden attack was greatly beyond his expectations.
Meng Tian climbed up the city tower and looked into the city. He saw towers and streets, which were worthy of being the city that once served as the capital of Chu.
The messenger came to Meng Tian tremblingly, and his eyes swept over the swords and halberds in the hands of the Qin army from time to time, for fear that they would be killed by these soldiers if they were accidentally killed.
Meng Tian looked away from Changpingjun's mansion, turned around, patted the messenger's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say that you need to have a short soldier on your side to feel safe..."
Chapter completed!
