In Yicheng Tianlu, Meng Jiaoyang turned her head to look at the cell next to her. For the first time, she saw this middle-aged man who had some blood ties with her family. However, she did not ask questions, but she was silent with a complex emotion. Watching quietly.
Meng Zian looked back for a moment and listened carefully when he heard that there was no sound coming from the cell next door. He sighed softly and said to Meng Jiaoyang, "He has just said that the two cities of Yongchang cannot be put to death to survive, and they must not be independent from In today's world, the Grand Administrator came to Tianlao in person to ask for advice. Naturally, he had no intention of fighting Nanyi to recapture Heyu City again, let alone conquering the north from the south and retaking the city. To seize the old land, therefore, if we want to preserve the Meng family in Yongchang, we should clearly put it there."
He looked at Meng Jiaoyang's increasingly serious face and said indifferently, "Sacrifice Yongchang to preserve the Meng family, sacrifice two cities to preserve the family, that's all."
Meng Jiaoyang looked away from Meng Zian and focused on the back of Meng Sanshu in the cage in front of him, "We still have a life-and-death alliance with Guangjun and Qingjun. If I, Yongchang, cede Xingcheng to Guangjun , and then use the line between Yicheng and Zhaoshui City as the gateway barrier of his Guang County, and guard the soil and borders for his Guang County, what can Yun Bailou not want to do?" A sharp look suddenly flashed on his fat face, and he said fiercely, "If it is Even if Yun Bailou is not satisfied and will not send troops to help me stabilize my position, I will just break the pot and move all the refugees north to Guang County, and then take advantage of the chaos to send troops north to attack Guang County. In the hinterland of the old days, it was better to seize his two beautiful cities and fight to the death than to have my Yongchang people die.
The county is hiding behind the scenes and living a good life! ! "
He looked at Meng Sanshu's back and said in a sincere tone, "Sanshu, it's not that Meng Jiaoyang doesn't want to fight to the death. It's just that with my Yongchang Meng family's 900-year-old foundation, fighting to the death against Nanyi, isn't it really a word of death?" What? In addition to being able to be ridiculed by some extremely boring literati after death, "What can I leave behind if I have some integrity?! But if I had been with him in Guangjun, or Lijun, Anyang, or any other How dare they deny me three points?! Are they not afraid of my three points?! So..." He looked at Meng Sanshu's back steadily, "We can't just keep it anymore. Yongchang, did you save the Meng family again?!"
Meng Sanshu finally spoke this time, but his tone was low and without any vitality, "Master Taishou, don't make fun of me, whether it's Yunbailou of Guangjun, Luochuan of Lijun, or those snakes, rats, rats and ants of Nanyi." The leaders inside are not fools. The desire to fight to the death has always depended on how we do it, rather than what we say with our mouths. Yongchang does not have the courage to face the southern barbarians, and there is no way he can brave the betrayal of his soldiers. The risk of mutiny, giving up Yicheng and all the people, the ability to go north to fight with Li and Guang counties to death? As for ceding Xingcheng and becoming the watchdog of Guang County, since Yun Bailou has secretly captured Xingcheng, he can This shows that he does not believe that Yongchang today has the strength to stop Nanyi. He captured Xingcheng just because he did not want this big commercial city on the Yashui River to fall into the hands of Lijun, so he struck first. That’s it!」
Meng Jiaoyang responded to Meng Sanshu’s words, especially the disrespect in them.
He did not show any unnecessary emotions, but just said, "Ke Yunbailou has no intention of reviving the city with troops. It is obvious that he has not invaded our Yicheng City, and then faced the heart of Nanyi. Likewise, the Li-Guang dispute has reached this point. , and it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch Lijun seize Yicheng and Zhaoshui City. Could it be that Yun Bailou did what he did because he wanted to block Xingcheng, a vital place, and watch the tigers fight from the mountain? Wait until we fight with Lijun first Are you going to fight to the death and reap the benefits?"
"Maybe," Meng Sanshu sighed deeply, "Maybe after Yun Bailou took over Xingcheng, he hoped to see Lijun take over Yicheng and Zhaoshui City in Yongchang because he wanted to seize these two cities. The city will not only consume a lot of Lijun's vitality, but also face the direct battlefield of Nanyi's northward march, which will also involve many of Lijun's forces. It is said that just like Anyang County, there is no other enterprising ability. In this way, for Yun Bailou Isn’t that the best ending?”
Meng Jiaoyang was silent for a moment and said, "So this time at Guangjun Yunbailou... you have the intention of destroying our Yongchang Meng family no matter what?!"
"Maybe, maybe not," Meng Sanshu said equally indifferently, "I have said long ago that guessing Yun Bailou's thoughts is the most meaningless thing, although now it will always be
There are not many chips in Chang's hands, but life or death should be decided by me, Yongchang. "
Meng Jiaoyang's voice became deeper and deeper, "The so-called life is to bet the Meng family's 900-year-old foundation to fight Nanyi to the death. In case of a big victory, we can stabilize our position and let Li Guang Er The county dare not humiliate him lightly? Then if he loses, both sides will suffer, or even
Or is it just a loss of vitality? Just because Yicheng and Zhaoshui City are now located, and there are still millions of refugees, how can we talk about conquering the north from the south and regaining our hometown? How do you ensure that in the end, it won't be all in vain? ! ! "
He pointed at Meng Zian who was in the cell on the other side, "General Zian, you said, just by betting on the Meng family's 900-year-old foundation, we can fight against the Nanyi who took Heyu City and destroyed the human formation. A complete victory?!"
Meng Zian responded with silence, having nothing to say.
Meng Jiaoyang seemed to be crazy. She could no longer suppress her inner emotions. She stood up and roared, "If you were to be the prefect, you could be so careless as to put dozens of generations to death." The foundation that our ancestors worked so hard to build was just burned down like that?! How are you going to see your ancestors after you die?! How are you going to see your ancestors?!"
"You are always good people!" Meng Jiaoyang pointed at Meng Sanshu and Meng Zian and scolded, "One claims himself to be a national scholar, as if he does everything for justice, and the other claims to be loyal, brave, and most wise and just, but together with him, Yongchang was lost. Half of the country, defeated again and again, has greatly damaged my Yongchang vitality, and I no longer have the strength to deal with the various counties! Now, leave this mess to me, and ask me to do the job of destroying the country. How could you do this and still think I am cowardly and cowardly?! How could you?!"
Meng Jiaoyang snorted angrily, flicked her sleeves and robe, turned around and got into the royal sedan, lowered the door curtain, and said no more.
The slovenly man took one last look at Meng Sanshu's figure with his back turned, turned around and walked to the royal sedan. After a while, there were the sedan bearers and
A large number of palace attendants and guards came trotting in silence, lifted up the royal sedan and left the prison.
Therefore, the quiet inner area of Tian Lao is still the quiet inner area of Tian Lao.
It wasn't until deep in the always quiet cell that Meng Cao'er, who was covering his eyes with his arms as if sleeping, spoke, breaking the tranquility, "Indeed, no one can blame him, but the survival of a county has always been a matter of concern. They only care about the results, so what’s the use of complaining?”
