Chapter 297 Changping Jun's Banquet (1)
"Mole, you lead a team of people to Changpingjun's mansion, and be sure to prevent General Li from entering Changpingjun's mansion!"
Just as he controlled Chen Ying's east city gate, Meng Tian immediately gave the Mole an order.
The mole was lurking in Chen Ying and was familiar with the terrain in the city. It would be perfect for him to lead his troops there.
"Tell Huang Ji that he will lead his army to move closer to Chen Ying!"
The cavalry led by the captains under Meng Tian, Li Bi, Luo Jia and others, stayed in the camp to stabilize the hearts of the people and should not be moved easily. After counting, only Huang Ji, who had worked hard to read the military strategy, was brave and scheming, and could bear great responsibilities.
As long as Huang Ji showed extraordinary abilities, Meng Tian would not mind helping Huang Ji go further on the road to military merit.
"General Meng, you are......"
Seeing that Meng Tian was dispatching troops and generals, he did not mean to go to the banquet. It was clearly the rhythm of sharpening his sword and preparing for a battle. The messenger couldn't help but take a few steps back timidly and leaned against the city wall.
"Jun Changping is willing to return to Chu. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of anything."
Meng Tian climbed up to the city tower, pulled a few blue bricks, put them on his butt, sat up, looked at Changpingjun's mansion, and waited quietly.
"It's over..."
The messenger's eyes turned dark, stars kept popping up in his mind, his legs became weak, and he collapsed on the ground.
Changpingjun's actions were extremely secret. From beginning to end, only a few close friends from Changpingjun's mansion participated in it. These people were covered with the blood of the Chu people, and they all had their homeland. There was no possibility of betrayal.
How did Meng Tian learn about Changpingjun’s rebellion against Qin?
Meng Tian ignored the idle messenger Qian. Changpingjun launched a rebellion. The idle messenger Qian knew about it and did not report it. Afterwards, he would have to end up beheading.
The punishment for crimes that rebel against the country is quite severe, both modern and ancient.
The noise in the East City did not last long, mainly because the cavalry under Meng Tian was acting too quickly. The defenders had not yet reacted and the city gate had been lost.
But Xiong Qi's previous arrangement in the city still had an effect.
A mansion near Dongcheng was the owner of Chen Ying's family and had always been in contact with Xiong Qi. After he noticed the strangeness of Dongcheng, he suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately sent someone to inform Xiong Qi.
"Meng Tian led his army to capture the Dongcheng City Gate?"
Upon receiving the news from Dongcheng, Xiong Qi was shocked and his face was gloomy.
Deep down, Xiong Qi was always a little confident about this rebellion against Qin and Chu. He knew very well what the Qin King in Xianyang was doing.
Xiong Qi did not expect that he had just decided to kill the general and seize the army, and such a change occurred.
"What should I do now?"
Xiong Qi looked at several close staff members in the room.
The army was in war, and was decisive and made a decision quickly. This was not Xiong Qi's director. When he suppressed the Lao Ai rebellion, Ying Zheng decided what he should do.
Now when it was Xiong Qi's turn to make his decision, he was a little hesitant.
"The Lord, Meng Tian's actions were taken by himself, without the will of the King of Qin. We immediately wrote to Xianyang, accusing Meng Tian of attacking the Lord of the Lord with the intention of rebellion."
An aide was quite calm, his eyes rolled, and he planned to bite Meng Tian back.
"Yes, the Lord's plan is still unpublished, and Meng Tian has no evidence."
Several other staff nodded, thinking that it was feasible to report to Xianyang.
No matter what, the King of Qin ordered Xiong Qi to be responsible for the logistics of the Chu army, and he always acted in a proper manner. Except for the few people in the room, no one knew Xiong Qi's overall plan.
The closed room, the swaying candlelight. Xiong Qi's face was reflected in the light, his brows were frowning and his face was unstable.
"Hmph, pedantic words!"
At this time, Wu Zhi, the servant sent by Xiang Yan to Xiong Qi, snorted coldly, clearly disagreed with the proposal to Xianyang.
"Will the King of Qin believe you and others have filed a lawsuit against Meng Tian for rebellion?"
Wu Zhi took a step forward and said to Xiong Qi: "The Meng family is known as loyalty and righteousness, and has been generals for three generations. Meng Tian's father, younger brother and wife are all in Xianyang City, and it can be said that they are all in the hands of the King of Qin. Anyone who rebels will never completely ignore the safety of his tribe."
"Besides, now I'm sending people to Xianyang, and even if I'm going to rush, it only takes half a month. When the news from Xianyang comes, Meng Tian will kill first and then report, how can the lord defend himself?!"
Xiong Qi was planning to rebel, and the censors from Xianyang would always find clues when they came.
In order to stabilize Meng Tian, who holds military power, Ying Zheng will not shelter Xiong Qi, who is already preparing to rebel.
"this······"
As soon as Wu Zhi said this, the other staff members lost their words.
From the perspective of civil officials' planning, they did not consider that sometimes the way of acting in military generals was completely different from what they thought.
"Then how to act next?"
Xiong Qi nodded vigorously, and a trace of enlightenment flashed through his mind.
Wu Zhi's analysis talked about his heart. On the issue of free attack on Chu, he had a dispute with Ying Zheng, and the distance between Xiong Qi and the Xianyang Central was getting farther and farther.
If you don’t gain the trust of the monarch, what Xiong Qi said will be greatly reduced.
"Send troops immediately and fight to the death. If you win, you will be promoted to Chen County and return to Chu to welcome the Shangzhu Kingdom; if you lose, you will be vigorous and vigorous, and it will be worth the phoenix's ashes!"
Wu Zhi stood up, looked at Xiong Qi, and said with a firm heart.
"Phoenix ashes......"
Xiong Qi murmured in his mouth, growing up in Qin State, he remembered Chu State in his heart, but the phoenix admired by the Chu people was a little forgotten.
The Chu State rose in the south, unlike the Central Plains countries worshiping dragons, but the Chu people worshipped the phoenix.
The totem of the phoenix is cast on a bronze tripod and embroidered on the battle flag of the Chu army.
Once upon a time, the Chu army was invincible under the command of the Phoenix Banner. The Han River vassal states built by the Zhou Dynasty fell one by one under the Chu army's troops.
After repeated failures and repeated comebacks, the Chu people broke through the blockade of the princes of the Central Plains, drank the horses and fought for hegemony with Jin for a hundred years.
Even if they fail, the Chu people have to go through a vigorous battle before they fall down unwillingly.
The people of Chu worshipped the phoenix bathed in flames and believed in the brilliant life. It doesn’t matter if they fail, but they must fail to shock the world, weep ghosts and gods, and be famous for future generations.
"I hope the lord will make a decision soon!"
Wu Zhi took another step forward, feeling a little anxious.
People in charge of the army are most afraid of hesitation. The worst decision is better than inaction. Now that the situation is critical, the people who return to Chu in Chen Ying City need a clear backbone.
"I hope the lord will make a decision soon!"
Several other staff members bowed their fists. They were very knowledgeable people and had no courage to burn their boats before. Now they understand their own situation, but they aroused the blood in their hearts.
"Okay, you guys do you think you won't be able to accomplish anything!"
A sharp and firmness flashed in Xiong Qi's eyes. He picked up the bronze sword from the wooden frame, looked towards the east city, took a deep breath, and ordered:
"Wu Zhi, take people to control Li Xin. The remaining people will immediately notify the aristocratic families in the city, send out retainers, follow my county soldiers to attack Dongcheng, kill Meng Tian, and retake the city gate..."
