In Baiya City, Wu Gen, Meng Zhuo and Ning Yuxi were sitting opposite each other. This was Wu Gen's first visit to this big city. When he helped Lu Jiajian destroy the Meng family, he had spared this city.
When the two met again, they both felt that things were right and people were different. The huge Lu family collapsed like this, making Meng Zhuo feel a little dazed.
After reorganizing the army in Yugu City, Wu Gen fought all the way to the Lu family's territory and stopped all the way to Baiya City, preparing to rest and replenish supplies here.
"Zhenfu, what do you need Meng Zhuo to do when you come here this time?" Meng Zhuo collected his thoughts and asked with his hands raised.
Wise people are easy to talk to. Wu Gen took a sip of tea happily, put down the cup and said with a smile: "The army will rest here for a few days, and then they will march to Maojing City. This city is strong, and City Lord Meng is familiar with the situation of the Lu family. I don't know if there is anything wrong with it." Taught me."
Meng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although the Meng family had already been dealt with by the Lu family, he survived after all by relying on the Lu family. If the man in front of him used this excuse to take him down, there was really nothing he could do.
Therefore, when he heard that Wu Gen led his army here, Meng Zhuo's city gates were wide open, undefended, and he seemed to be asking for everything.
"We welcome the army to rest and recuperate. All the necessary supplies will be provided by Baiya City." Meng Zhuo leaned forward slightly, his attitude was quite respectful, "As for Maojing City, we can defeat it if we fight. After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the town. , which city of the Lu family can be defended..net
It's just that I want to suppress and lead the troops on a long journey, so I can't fight one city after another. It's best to fight quickly or let the opponent surrender without a fight. "
"Yes, too many people died during the siege. I don't want to waste so much effort." Wu Gen nodded.
Meng Zhuo looked at his wife, who nodded almost imperceptibly, "My wife and Lu Lie's mother Ning Nanlian are related to each other. The elders can have some relatives. The reason why the Meng family didn't do anything last time After being killed by the Lu family, I was able to take the position of head of the family, all thanks to my wife's efforts.
This time when Zhenfu goes to Maojing City, he might as well take the Ningnanlian route, which may save a lot of energy. If the governor needs it, I can ask my wife to accompany him. "
Wu Gen couldn't help but suddenly realized that no wonder Lu Peng was so polite to Ning Yu when he was assassinated on the road, but it turned out that he was hiding these nepotisms. "That's great. If my wife can go with me, Wu Gen will be very grateful."
"It is an honor for me to be able to serve the governor." Ning Yuxi stood up and bowed, her behavior was quite elegant.
"Zhenfu came here with the victory, and I don't know what to do with the Lu family." Seeing Wu Gen's admiring expression on his wife, Meng Zhuo asked tentatively with his eyes twinkling.
Wu Gen nodded to Ning Yuxi who was pouring tea for him, and glanced at Meng Zhuo, "Lu Lie is missing, Lu Zhan is dead, and the Lu family is finished. I am just chasing the remnant thief this time, and this is how I will deal with Xu Deji." The family will decide, but the outcome will not be too good."
"Oh, I wonder how my uncle, Meng Shuo and Meng Ling are in the camp." Meng Zhuo asked again.
"Meng Shun is already the general of our fearless army. He has already led his troops to move towards Maojing City. As for Meng Shuo, he is responsible for logistics in the army, while Meng Lingwo asked him to stay at the Ji Ye camp, the second young master of the Ji family. To be honest, Wu Gen was quite satisfied with being able to obtain such a powerful general as Meng Shun from the Meng family, so he naturally answered all questions.
"Meng Ling is actually in the second young master's camp?" Meng Zhuo said with great joy, stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Gen, "Thank you for your support. I remember that the Meng family was almost forced into a desperate situation by the Lu family. His father died and his eldest brother was detained. Maojing City is really no different from a prisoner. Today, the clouds and mist are finally cleared to see the sky. I am willing to hand over half of the city's treasures to the governor to express my gratitude for this great kindness."
Wu Gen quickly stood up. He had given so much money, so he had to make some gestures. "Master Meng, you're welcome. When we enter Maojing City this time, I will definitely rescue Meng Qian. You just need to stay safe." In this city, it is a great achievement to prevent chaos in the city and wait patiently for the Ji family to arrive."
"This is of course an internal matter of Zhuofen. The Meng family has always been interested in the lord, but under the pressure of the Lu family, they have been unable to make any progress for many years, just like a bird in a fish cage. If... if the governor can write a letter and two The entire Meng family should be grateful to the young master for his introduction." Meng Zhuo took a step back, bowed his head and bowed deeply.
Wu Gen's expression froze. He didn't expect Meng Zhuo to be waiting for him here. After thinking about it, he agreed, "Brother Meng, please get up.
When the dynasty was first established, it needed talents like Brother Meng. You and I formed a private alliance from the beginning. I will write a letter to Ji Ye and ask him to take care of me. "
Meng Zhuo's move reminded Wu Gen that just as Murong Yuqiang had warned, after the restructuring of the Ji family, Ji Chen and Ji Ye, as princes, would inevitably have some disputes. It's not a question of whether Ji Ye thinks about it or not. If he doesn't think about it, others will think so too.
In this case, I might as well collect some help from the local area for him, so that I can have some manpower in case something happens. In the future, we will meet more people like Meng Zhuo who pursue power. They are far away from the Ji family and have no way to make progress. I just take the opportunity to introduce them. In this way, Wuweijun gained wealth, Ji Ye gained people, and these people also gained officials. Wouldn't it be like killing three birds with one stone?
"Thank you so much for your kindness." Meng Zhuo was overjoyed and bowed to the ground again. He heard that Wu Gen and Ji Ye were familiar with each other, so he took the liberty to make such a request. Unexpectedly, Wu Gen agreed to it.
Wu Gen didn't play tricks and wrote a letter directly in the room in front of Meng Zhuo and Ning Yuxi, and then left with the two of them grateful.
When they returned to the mansion that Meng Zhuo had specially prepared for him, several major generals gathered here and were discussing the attack on Maojing City.
Wu Gen briefly told the story of his meeting with Meng Zhuo. When they heard that the other party was willing to send their wives to Maojing City, everyone looked happy. They didn't expect that they would gain such a benefit from just one meeting.
"This Meng Zhuo is good at sneaking into the camp, and even his own wife is willing to do so. Last time, in order to seize the position of the head of the family, he left his family and came here alone, and Ning Yuxi was almost assassinated. This time, he asked a female streamer to follow the army to Maojing. It’s really a lot of effort to build the city.” Zhang Wuyang sneered from the side, he had already led the Yifu army back.
"Haha, there have been many people like this since ancient times. As long as he can do things for us, it doesn't matter what his character is." Yang Zheng didn't care. He was born in the royal family, so he had seen many such people. "Come on. , let’s see what good things Wu Yang brought back.”
With that said, Yang Zheng and Zhang Wuyang opened a three-foot-long box. Inside was a small golden man with a tiger head installed.
"This is the golden puppet that showed off its power in front of Hanlu City this time. This should be its hot pattern." Zhang Wuyang squatted in front of the golden figure and explained, "I heard that Ji Xian almost broke through the defense of Hanlu City with this object. "
Several people looked around the golden puppet and couldn't help but marvel. If thousands of such things were built, which fortified city would not be conquered?
Wu Gen sighed and stroked Jin Gui's naked body, "You need a lot of money."
"Oh, it is indeed." Zhang Wuyang looked a little embarrassed. The golden puppet used to attack the city would probably consume a large amount of spiritual jade. This is how the fearless army, which has always been short of spiritual jade, can afford it.
"Captain, I obtained more than 5,000 pieces of thorn jade from Wuling City, and nearly 800 pieces of jade and jade. After interrogation, most of the money was taken away by Ji Xian." Zhang Wuyang He answered cautiously, fearing that Wu Gen would say that he had taken too little.
"Yes, it can solve the urgent need of our fearless army." Wu Gen looked happy, turned to look at several generals, and stopped focusing on Shui Congyue, "At this time, attacking the cities of each family is the first priority. That is to seize the spiritual jade in the city, followed by the secret skills of each family, and if the guard bird is found, it must be captured. When we reach Liangzhe Mountain, it is desolate and it will be difficult to find supplies. The golden puppet is handed over to the bridge team. , let him see if he can imitate some."
Everyone agreed, but Shui Congyue remained uncommitted.
The army stopped in Baiya City for two days, and then set off to Maojing City. During this period, Wu Gen specifically searched for Meng Zhuo and asked him to take them in properly if any troops attached to the Fearless Army arrived later. After all, those civilians in Xingshan who could not be included as regular soldiers were also brought to Liangzhe Mountain.
While walking on the road, Wu Gen placed Ning Yuxi's carriage in Zhongjun, with Zhang Wuyang in charge of taking care of it. When we get to Maojing City, we still need to contact Lu Zhan's wife. How the battle will be fought and to what extent it will be fought depends on this person.
After marching for three days, the Fearless Army was stationed by a lake. In two days, they could see Maojing City. Just in case, Wu Gen still started to have people build vehicles to attack the car.
At night, Wu Gen entered the camp after patrolling the camp. He was about to settle down and adjust his breath for a while before falling asleep. Zhang
Wu Yang reported in a low voice outside that someone wanted to see him.
Wu Gen couldn't help but be stunned. Who would ask for a meeting at such a late hour? Could it be that Ji Ye from outside Hanlu City sent someone here.
After agreeing, Zhang Wuyang opened the curtain, turned his body slightly to the side, and looked a little strange. Just when Wu Gen was about to speak, he saw a man walking out from behind Zhang Wuyang, holding a wooden basin in his hand, squatting down and bowing, and walked in gracefully.
"Mrs. Meng, what do you mean?" Wu Gen quickly jumped up from the bed, glared at Zhang Wuyang fiercely, and hurriedly put on his clothes. When he came back, he had stripped down to his underwear due to the sweltering heat.
Ning Yuxi's eyes were filled with water, and she seemed to be shy, "I'm here to serve you and caress you to sleep." She wore a white gauze dress today, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, and she was delicate and delicate inside. Available now. The hair hanging behind her back was still dripping with water, it must have been just after taking a shower.
"Who...who asked you to come?" Wu Gen stammered and jumped to the ground with bare feet. Zhang Wuyang, who was at the door, lowered the curtain with an embarrassed look on his face and took a few hurried steps away.
"This concubine came here voluntarily." Ning Yuxi put down the wooden basin in his hand, "Please take off your clothes."
"Wait a minute." Wu Gen jumped back and calmed down, "I understand, it was Meng Zhuo who asked you to do this, but you're right."
Ning Yuxi did not answer, but lowered his head and said: "In these troubled times, if a low-ranking family like the Meng family wants to survive or even go further, they have to rely on the support of the governor. Although I have the appearance of a willow tree, I can only So much shame."
Wu Gen calmed down at this time, and looked at the other person with a sneer, "How can such a beautiful country not be coveted? It's just that I am not a good woman, so I am disappointed."
Standing up and walking in front of the other party, Wu Gen stared at those beautiful eyes and said coldly: "I will only say this once. If Meng Zhuo wants to have a good place in the new dynasty, he must be loyal to the second young master and don't disobey me. As promised with him, I will deal with it for him. Just go ahead. I know you are also forced to help me take down Maojing City. It is a great achievement. Don't add any unnecessary fuss or make things worse. I will treat you as if you didn't come today. Pass."
Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, Wu Gen's expression turned gloomy, "I have been practicing boy skills since I was a child, and I will never be able to break Yuanyang. Wu Yang, please return the account, madam."
Zhang Wuyang nervously opened the curtain and looked at Wu Gen uneasily.
Ning Yuxi's eyes filled with mist, she bowed to Wu Genshen, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Seeing him leaving, Wu Genfang let out a long breath and sat down on the bed, feeling exhausted. After a while, Zhang Wuyang came in timidly. Wu Gen suddenly jumped up and hit her on the head and face, "You bastard, how could you let this girl in?"
Zhang Wuyang knew that he was in the wrong and murmured: "She said that the village master ordered her to serve. I thought..."
"I thought you were big." Wu Gen slumped down on the bed. "She will never be allowed to enter my camp in the future. If word spreads, how will I see Meng Shun? Forget it, you are also a green melon, and you are not good at this kind of thing. Bring Niu Chao and sleep next to my tent to ward off evil and prevent disaster."
"Follow...obey."
