"Zifan, you said there is important information, what is it?" After the banquet was over, Shen Yi led Guo Mo to his study room and asked after stepping back. Hong
Guo Mo cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, this is information about Meng Da."
"Meng Da?" Upon hearing this name, Shen Yi's drunkenness dissipated immediately, she sat up straight and exclaimed.
Guo Mo nodded: "Exactly."
"Come quickly," Shen Yi said urgently.
For Meng Da, an old rival, Shen Yi had long wanted to get rid of him, but she had never found a suitable opportunity.
The last time he reported that Meng Da wanted to rebel, there was no real evidence. In the end, Sima Yi just sent Liang Ji, who joined the army, to go around Shangyong and then went back, without doing anything to Meng Da.
Now that she might have gotten the information about Meng Da from Guo Mo, Shen Yi was really overjoyed and thought she had an unexpected gain. Hong
Guo Mo said: "The Lord also knows that I worked as a reporter in the Prime Minister's Mansion of the pseudo-Sichuan Province before I was ostracized and transferred to Huanghuang County, a remote rural area. When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I also came into contact with some secrets, one of which was It’s about Meng Da.”
He paused and continued: "The prince may not know that in the past few months, Meng Da and Zhuge Liang have been secretly colluding and exchanging letters. Meng Da has the intention of rebelling against Wei and surrendering to Shu. The day he raised his army was on this day." Within two months.”
"Oh? Seriously?" Shen Yi was overjoyed when she heard this. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and confirmed.
Guo Mo said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, this matter is absolutely true. The Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office is in charge of the seal, so I can go in and out of important places in the Prime Minister's Office."
One day when I went to deliver documents to Zhuge Liang, I happened to hear him discussing the matter with several soldiers who joined the army, so I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with Meng Da's rebellion. "
"Okay, okay, okay, Zifan, your arrival really gave me a big surprise." Seeing that what Guo Mo said was so reasonable, Shen Yi completely believed it.
Moreover, he had originally suspected that Meng Da had colluded with Zhuge Liang, but he had always been suspicious before. Now, with the report from Guo Mo, a former official of the pseudo-Shu Prime Minister's Office, enough to win the emperor's trust, Meng Da can no longer quibble this time. Hong
Thinking of this, Shen Yi said excitedly: "Zifan, you have made a great contribution this time. In this way, tomorrow, or no, you will write what you just said into a document tomorrow, or now, and I will report it to the emperor for you. When Meng Da is wiped out, After the thief, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to an official position and become rich and powerful."
"Thank you so much for your support, Mr. Fu. Mo will always follow the advice of Mr. Fu, and he will fight against all odds." Guo Mo quickly stood up and thanked him.
These words made Shen Yi very helpful. She laughed and helped him up: "Zifan doesn't have to be like this. You and I are our own people and we naturally share weal and woe."
After the two expressed their feelings to each other, Guo Mo wrote a report document. Shen Yi looked at it happily, put it away after confirming that it was correct, and felt quite proud in her heart: "Mengda, Mengda, you are in doom this time. Hum, after all, the territory of Dongsan County still belongs to my Shen family."
The next day, Shen Yi wanted to report the report to Cao Rui, but then she thought that although there was Guo Mo's testimony, it was only a witness and no physical evidence. If the emperor still didn't want to fully believe it, I'm afraid he would have to let it go. General Hussars inspected. In this case, why not report it to the general of the hussars first, and then go to the district office?
Thinking of this, he changed his mind, called his close confidants, and asked them to quickly go to Wancheng to report to Sima Yi.
In order to reward Guo Mo for deserting the secrets and reporting on Meng Da, Shen Yi immediately appointed Guo Mo as the thief Cao Yu in the prefecture, in charge of arresting the thieves. As a result, Guo Mo gradually became Shen Yi's confidant, often going in and out of Shen Yi's mansion, secretly discussing how to deal with Meng Da. Hong
In Shangyong City, Meng Da's face showed panic as he paced back and forth in the house.
A few days ago, Xi Zuo, who was lurking around Shen Yi, reported to him that Guo Mo, a lieutenant from Huanghuang County in the Shu Han Dynasty, had recently defected to Wei Xing County and revealed to Shen Yi that he wanted to betray Wei and return to the Han Dynasty. Shen Yi had also sent someone to take Guo Mo away. Mo's testimony was secretly reported to Sima Yi.
He had prevaricated Shen Yi's report last time, but this time with Guo Mo's report, Sima Yi might have to believe it.
"This time something really happened. Shen Yi is a thief, you and I are at odds with each other!" Meng Da thought in his heart
Zhong Kuang cursed angrily.
"Why haven't Xian'er and the others arrived yet?"
Just when Meng Da was about to send someone to urge him, four of his close nephews, Deng Xian, and generals Meng Feng, Li Fu, and Kang Nan finally arrived.
Seeing everyone gathered, Meng Daping withdrew, leaving only the five of them to discuss matters secretly in the study. Hong
"Uncle, I wonder what happened to call us here in such a hurry?" Deng Xian asked immediately after the five people sat down.
Meng Da sighed softly and said, "Xian'er, our incident has happened."
"What? It's not Shen Yi who's biting again, right?" Deng Xian asked in shock.
Meng Da shook his head: "It's different this time. Shen Yi's guy has a witness, and we can't hide the matter anymore." With that, he told Guo Mo about reporting him.
After everyone listened, they all looked solemn and bowed their heads in silence. After a long time, Meng Feng, a general and Mengda's kinsman, said: "Master Fu, since the matter can no longer be concealed, why not take action first and start the rebellion immediately? Anyway, I can't stay in Wei any longer, so it would be better to wait until later. Rebellion as soon as possible, so as not to suffer the cruelty of Shen Yi's fellow."
"Brother Meng is right. Mr. Fu, start a fight." Li Fu also said with his fists clasped.
Meng Da still didn't dare to make up his mind and said hesitantly: "This..." Hong
"Master Fu, I also agree to raise the army. We have been colluding with Shu Han and Soochow for a long time. Even if we are not discovered now, Wei Ting will find out one day in the future. At that time, we still cannot escape the crime of rebellion.
Therefore, we might as well raise the flag of rebellion now and rebel against Wei and return to Han before Wei Ting reacts. "Kang Nan also said sincerely.
Meng Da's eyes lit up when he heard this, then dimmed again, and he murmured: "Return to the Han Dynasty? Or go to Soochow?" It turned out that until this moment, he had not yet made up his mind which company to join.
Kangnan replied: "I have returned to the Han Dynasty. We were originally Han ministers, but now it is reasonable and reasonable to return to the Han Dynasty. If the emperor is worried that the Han court will settle old scores, he will feel that it is unnecessary. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan don't believe that Isn't the treatment of Zhongbaofujun not low after returning to the Han Dynasty?
Li Yan is an old friend of yours, and we also know Zhuge Liang's character, so their words are still credible. As for Soochow, there are few people we are familiar with, so it is inevitable that we will not be reused if we go there. Besides, I still have relatives left in Shu. "
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, especially the last sentence that immediately tilted the balance in everyone's mind to Shu Han's side.
When they rebelled against Han and defected to Wei a few years ago, many of their family members stayed in Shu and were unable to take them away. Even Meng Da himself had a wife who stayed in Yizhou. Hong
"Uncle, General Kang is right. Returning to Han is more beneficial than defecting to Wu, and the morale of the army will be stronger." Deng Xian also agreed.
Seeing that the four confidants all had the same idea, Meng Da finally made a decision and said loudly: "Okay, I have made up my mind. I will launch an army to rebel against Wei and return to the Han Dynasty soon."
The four generals were overjoyed and responded in unison: "I am willing to follow the general through fire and water!"
"Deng Xian and Meng Feng obey the order." Now that he had made the decision, Meng Da immediately gave the order.
"The end will be here."
"In the past few days, you have been gathering military resources and strengthening the city defenses in preparation for an uprising."
"No." Hong
Meng Da added: "Li Fu, Kang Nan."
"The end will be here."
"I order you to recall the soldiers from Xiumu, train the soldiers, assemble the army and prepare for war, and bring the families of the soldiers scattered in other counties to Shangyong one after another."
Li Fu and Kang Nan looked at each other, understood what Meng Da meant, and immediately accepted the order: "No."
"You go down and get ready." Mengda waved his hand.
"Yes, I will take my leave soon."
After the four generals left, Meng Da picked up his writing brush and prepared to write a letter to Zhuge Liang, informing him that he would soon raise his troops to return to the Han Dynasty and asked him to send someone to discuss the details of taking over the three counties. Hong
A letter was written quickly, and he was about to seal it. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he picked up the pen again and wrote a letter with almost the same content to Soochow Lu Xun.
With his temperament, he did not dare to completely bet on Ji Han's family. He felt that it was safest to be prepared with both hands.
