When the garrison generals and chieftains of Pibo City came to the military camp, they saw Ma Meng, with an angry face, sitting quietly in the Chinese army's tent. However, Ma Meng was thinking about how to tell everyone about Gaoyi's chieftain's crime, and he had forgotten to observe the reaction of the chieftain and the garrison generals, otherwise he would definitely find a trace of misunderstanding on everyone's faces. Because, the garrison generals and the chieftains who were unwilling to be punished when facing him on weekdays looked at him calmly, without the groveling and fear in the past. Moreover, the only chieftain from Gaoyi was missing today, but the garrison generals and chieftains did not care and showed enough calmness. At the same time, Ma Meng did not notice that in addition to themselves, they followed the chieftain and the generals to the Chinese army's tent today. There were also three or four personal guards around them outside the tent.
"See the army general¡ª¡ª" Everyone began to salute Ma Meng.
"I summoned you to the Chinese army's tent today. I just want to tell you one important thing. I want you to come with me to find out who this traitor is." Ma Meng said seriously, "You can't guess this traitor. Who is he? He is the chieftain of Gaoyi. He has colluded with the Eastern Tubo, wants to join forces with them, wants to surrender Pibo City to the Tang army. However, the chieftain of Gaoyi overestimates his own abilities. He He thought he was doing it without being noticed, but what he never expected was that everything about him was under the surveillance of this general. Now his mansion has been surrounded by my guards, and the Tubo messenger is right next to him. His mansion. Therefore, I, the general, hope that you can come with me to see this traitor and see what else he has to say."
After Ma Meng said this, he felt that what he said was very beautiful. He thought that these few words were enough to shock everyone sitting here, so that they would be more restrained when doing things in the future.
¡°Yes¡ª¡ª¡± everyone responded.
Ma Meng was very satisfied with everyone's respectful attitude, and immediately stood up and left the Chinese army's tent.
After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Ma Meng and Pi Bocheng were the garrison generals, and the chieftain came towards the main street where the Gaoyi chieftain's mansion was located. Before leaving the military camp, Ma Meng's personal guard asked Ma Meng whether he should bring another thousand iron guards with him. This suggestion was stopped by Ma Meng on the spot. Ma Meng believed that there were 300 guards guarding the Gaoyi chieftain's residence outside, and there were more than 20 personal guards around him, so there would be no problem with safety at all. Furthermore, Ma Meng was also very arrogant and believed that the army in Pibo City was already under his control, and the garrison generals and chieftains in Pibo City were not as strong as him, so they did not dare to do anything detrimental to him. Moreover, the reason why Ma Meng was so sure that the Pibo City guard and the chieftains did not dare to touch him was that in the past few days, he had seen the Pibo City guard and the chieftains' submissive expressions and cowardly looks. This made Ma Meng Meng feels that he has enough deterrence, and they want to do harm to him. This is simply a joke.
Therefore, Ma Meng led 20 personal guards, more than ten meters of garrison generals and chieftains, and dozens of personal guards around them to the gate of Gaoyi Tusi's mansion. They saw that the mansion had been surrounded by Ma Meng's personal guards. Under siege, a centurion on guard saw Ma Meng and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Ma Meng.
"See the general!" the centurion said.
"Is there anything wrong?" Ma Meng asked.
"General, no one was allowed to leave the mansion!" the centurion replied.
"Well, you did a good job. Once this matter is settled, I will definitely promote you!" Ma Meng said in a majestic tone.
However, the centurion could see that his general was in a very good mood today.
"Thank you, general!" the centurion thanked.
"Go and open the door -" Ma Meng ordered, and then said to everyone around him, "Everyone, please come!"
"General, please!" Everyone said humbly.
¡°Clang¡ª¡ª¡±, the door of the mansion has been knocked open by the guards.
I saw four private soldiers of the Gaoyi chieftain rushing out of the mansion.
"The general is here, what do you want to do?"
Seeing the private soldiers of Gaoyi Chieftain rushing out, the guards around Ma Meng roared.
"General¡ª¡ª" Gaoyi chieftain's private soldiers stood at the door and said in fear, they looked at a loss.
When Ma Meng saw that the dignified chieftain of Gaoyi had such a cowardly private soldier, he sneered in his heart and despised the chieftain of Gaoyi fiercely.
"Everyone, please!" Ma Meng said again.
"General, please!" Everyone said humbly.
Ma Meng was not polite and strode into Gaoyi Chieftain's mansion, and everyone followed closely.
However, the centurion wanted to lead his bodyguard to follow Ma Meng, but Ma Meng stopped him.
"You just stay outside the mansion, don't let anyone in the mansion go!"
¡°Yes¡ª¡ª¡± the centurion accepted the order.
??In fact, although Ma Meng was arrogant and did not lead the fine cavalry before coming to the Gaoyi chieftain's mansion, he still thought about bringing a hundred people into the Gaoyi chieftain's mansion, just in case. However, when he saw the cowardly private soldiers of the Gaoyi chieftain at the door of Gaoyi's mansion, he completely relaxed his guard, and then led only twenty of his personal guards into the Gaoyi chieftain's mansion.
When Ma Meng and others walked into the Gaoyi chieftain's mansion, they saw an old man over fifty coming face to face.
The old man quickly walked up to Ma Meng, bowed and said in salute, "The chief manager of Gaoyi Chieftain's Mansion has met the general, all the generals and all the chieftains."
"Where is your chieftain? Why don't you come to greet me?" Ma Meng asked arrogantly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Because the chieftain and the general do not belong to the same system and have no hierarchical relationship. As long as the chieftain does not pay attention to etiquette or friendship, he can ignore the general.
"Come back to the general, the chieftain is not feeling well. He is waiting for you in the main hall, general. Please come with me, general!" the old man said humbly.
"Well, then you can lead the way!" Ma Meng liked the old man's attitude towards him and said calmly.
The old man walked in the front, and Ma Meng strolled behind him. Behind him were twenty personal guards, and everyone naturally kept a distance from Ma Meng.
Ma Meng did not take this unusual behavior seriously at all. He believed that everyone did not go with him because they wanted to express their respect for him.
?? Everyone followed the old man through the two courtyards, and saw a magnificent hall appearing in front of everyone.
Climbing up the steps, everyone quickly arrived at the door of the main hall.
"General, please¡ª" the old man said respectfully.
At this time, the four private soldiers of the Gaoyi chieftain who were guarding the door of the main hall slowly opened the door of the main hall.
There is no candlelight flickering in the main hall, and the heat is overwhelming.
Before Ma Meng entered the hall, twenty of his personal guards had already rushed into the hall and stood on both sides of the hall.
At this time, Ma Meng slowly stepped into the hall.
"Bang -" The moment Ma Meng stepped into the hall, he heard a heavy door slamming behind him. Ma Meng turned around and found that the door of the hall had been closed, locking him in the hall. Inside.
"Is this a scam?" A dangerous aura flashed through Ma Meng's heart.
¡°Protect the general¡ª¡ª¡± At this time, Ma Meng¡¯s guard captain shouted.
Twenty personal guards moved quickly to Ma Meng and surrounded him in the center.
"Sasha¡ª¡ª"
There were heavy footsteps in the hall. Ma Meng listened carefully and his expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw hundreds of soldiers armed with bows and arrows appearing in the second-story attic around the main hall, and he recognized them at a glance as the private soldiers of Gaoyi Chieftain.
¡°Where is that bastard from Gaoyi Chieftain?¡± Ma Meng already knew that he had been cheated by Gaoyi Chieftain, so he yelled.
¡°¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
Quietly, no one answered.
¡°Let Gaoyi Chieftain speak out!¡± Ma Meng continued to shout.
As soon as Ma Meng finished speaking, he heard a voice saying, "Ma Meng, I didn't expect that you are still so ignorant at this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gaoyi chieftain appeared on the attic on the second floor, and besides a few personal guards, there were also the generals and chieftains of Pibo City's garrison beside him.
"You - you -" Ma Meng was furious. He really didn't expect that the generals and chieftains of Pibo City's defenders would unite to deal with him. In fact, it's not that he didn't expect it, he just couldn't believe it. Because his guards have taken control of all of their mansions, and they have no chance to leave the mansion to discuss, how could they plan such a thorough strategy?
Seeing Ma Meng's surprised eyes, Chief Gaoyi smiled lightly and said, "General Ma Meng, are you surprised? But I am not surprised at all. Ever since you suspected that there was a traitor among us, your ending has been It was already doomed. At that time, you besieged our mansion, and we chose to remain silent, because we still loyally wanted to work with you to defend Pibo City. In fact, this was the only room for maneuver between us, but you were not sure Come on, not only did you fail to understand our intentions, but you also indiscriminately killed Chieftain Sangmu and cut off your own path because of the enemy's plan."
When the chieftain of Gaoyi said this, he paused and continued, "If we don't target you, we will all be killed by your suspicion before the Tang army captures Pibo City. Although, we don't want to surrender to the Tang army. , I don¡¯t want to follow Songtsan Haiqing, but when our lives are threatened, we have to consider ourselvesown destiny. "
"Humph - a traitor is a traitor, why are you talking so much?" Ma Meng sneered, and saw that he was confident and said, "But don't forget, there are tens of thousands of my general's troops in the city. Do you think killing Without me, do you still have a chance to survive?"
"General, we have bribed your close guard general. Now he can order the army to surrender in Kaicheng. It is estimated that the Tang army has entered Pibo City by this time." One of the defending generals laughed, "Otherwise, How did you fall into our trap today?"
"You - you - despicable -" Ma Meng's face instantly turned livid, and he was furious. He did not expect that he would be in a critical situation of being idle because his own bodyguard betrayed him.
"Haha - is that despicable?" the garrison general continued, "You just know?"
"Ha ha¡ª¡ª"
All the chieftains and garrison generals present laughed, their laughter full of contempt and disdain for Ma Meng.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????" General Mameng, I will tell you one more thing before you die. A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. I hope that you will not make the same mistake today when you are in the underworld."
¡°Old man¡ª¡ª¡± Ma Meng roared, and with a ¡°wow¡± sound, he spit out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the hall.
