    Chapter 268: Going Home (Part 1)

    Qin Shenjun repeatedly tested him. He wanted to know what conditions were required for Meng Ju to agree to let the young master go?  What does he want?  money?  Doukai?  Territory?  As long as the Grand Governor proposes it, it can be discussed.

    But what disappoints Qin Canjun is that every time he talks about this, Meng Ju is always vague - it's not that Meng Ju is playing the role of inscrutable, it's just that even he himself can't figure out what he wants.  Meng Ju would probably get it by extorting hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Tuoba Xiong, but Meng Ju felt that it wouldn't be of much help to him.

    After a stalemate between you and me for a while, Qin Canjun really didn¡¯t know how to continue talking to Meng Ju.

    Before coming, the marshal had repeatedly warned him not to argue with Meng Ju. This governor was not willing to take the hard way. When he was just the governor of a province, he dared to openly confront the Northern Xinjiang army - more  Miraculously, he actually managed to win.  For such a brave and daring person, intimidation will not have any effect. If he is angered, he may even tear up the eldest son in anger.

    The hard one doesn¡¯t work, the soft one doesn¡¯t seem to work either.  Meng Ju's status has skyrocketed recently, and his face has also evolved. As soon as he signed a peace agreement with the marshal, he would immediately regret it and go south to fight with the border army.  It can be seen from this that for this person, all etiquette, justice and shame are nothing but fart.

    Don't eat soft and hard, don't be afraid of death, and don't know how to deal with such people.  Finally, he made a request to Meng Ju: "Grand Governor, this time the eldest son is accompanied by Mr. Wen, the marshal's staff. Can he and Gao Du bring them back with me?"

    "Mr. Wen?" Meng Ju was stunned for a moment. At that time, when he came back after catching Mr. Wen, he was just catching fish. Meng Ju didn't take him seriously, but now, Qin Canjun specifically mentioned him.  Meng Ju suddenly became vigilant.

    Meng Ju doesn¡¯t think this Mr. Wen is a very important person, but - how should I put it?  Take the game of Go as an example, what is better for the other is what is better for me. Whatever the enemy wants, we must make him unhappy!

    Meng Ju shook his head: "Mr. Wen? Where is he? I have never seen him~ Qin Canjun, are you mistaken?"

    "Grand Governor, Mr. Wen is with the eldest son, they should be together"

    "Really?" Meng Ju squinted at him: "That's not right, anyway, I have never met Mr. Wen. If Qin Canjun is sure that the eldest son and Mr. Wen are together - then I must have made a mistake, right?  I thought the eldest son was on my side."

    Qin Canjun shut up immediately. He understood the implication of Meng Ju's words - if you continue to be verbose, be careful that the eldest son disappears like Mr. Wen did!

    In the end, Qin Canjun could only say goodbye in disappointment, but fortunately, he finally did not return empty-handed. He took several released generals and brigade commanders with him, so that he could be on business with Tuoba Xiong when he returned.

    Dismissing Tuoba Xiong¡¯s envoy, Meng Ju continued to march north.  Next, the army moved forward unimpeded.  The government officials along the way were very polite to the passing troops - or rather, they gave them a wide berth. As soon as the army entered the country, they hurriedly presented them with grain, fodder and departure silver. The local government in Bingzhou even sent a group of colorful people in a considerate manner.  Military prostitutes - As long as you guys Qiu Ba don't mess around, everything can be discussed.

    After walking like this for more than a month, on September 12, the soldiers and horses arrived at Shuozhou safely.  Just after entering Shuozhou Province, there was suddenly a lot of dust on the road ahead. The former army hurriedly reported: "On the road ahead, there is a group of soldiers and horses coming head-on. They will encounter our army soon!"

    When they heard that the soldiers were coming, everyone was shocked: "Could it be that Tuoba Xiong didn't forget to eat but not to fight? He didn't give up after suffering a loss and wanted to cause trouble again? But the strange thing is that even if the border troops came after them, they  It should have appeared in the direction of the rear team, why did it go around to the front instead?"

    Meng Ju immediately ordered to stop and set up a formation on the spot to stand by.  At this moment, there was no fear in his heart, but a faint sense of expectation.

    "Comer: Come to the front line to inquire about the enemy's situation!"

    Before the inquirers could set out, a messenger came from the front army, and it was Xu Haojie who came.  He ran to Meng Ju's army and shouted happily: "The governor, it's the White Wolf Banner!"

    "What?"

    "The soldiers and horses coming in front are flying the white wolf flag!"

    Hearing this, everyone suddenly stood up and looked excited.  Meng Ju ordered: "The front army remains on alert to prevent fraud! Haojie, send people to continue to explore and see which troops are coming."

    "Yes, Governor, the general will go right away!"

    In the excited and expectant eyes of the whole army, another group of cavalry was dispatched. They rushed forward and quickly contacted the soldiers and horses on the opposite side.  ThisThe cavalry was delayed for a while, but soon came back. They ran straight to Meng Ju's tent. Several officers got off their horses and ran straight to Meng Ju. They lifted up their shirts and knelt on the ground: "Governor, you have worked hard all the way.  Welcome home!"

    Meng Ju was extremely surprised when he saw the person coming, and the last trace of doubt and vigilance in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.  He strode forward and helped him up: "Sixth floor, why are you here? General Xiao, Jiang Hai, and Manager Lan are here too! Everyone, get up quickly!"

    Helping Lu Liulou up, the two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.  Since Meng Ju went south, the two have not seen each other for half a year.  At this moment, they suddenly met again on the road. Both of them were excited, and they had thousands of words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.  Finally, it was Lu Liulou who sighed: "This trip to the south has been really hard on the governor. You have lost a lot of weight!"

    "It's good to lose weight. You'll be more energetic when you lose weight. Sixth floor, don't just laugh at me. I haven't seen you in half a year. I think you have aged a lot! You have gray hair now."

    Lu Liulou smiled wryly at himself: "You are trembling and walking on thin ice, how can you not lose weight? Governor, it's great to have you back. Everyone has a backbone, and I can take off the burden. Come on, Governor, come all.  Meet you brothers!¡±

    ??Then, Meng Ju met Lan Zheng, Jiang Hai, Xiao Heng and others. Seeing that Meng Ju returned safely and brought back a large number of soldiers, horses and supplies, the Dongling Guards became stronger and everyone was overjoyed.

    Seeing the generals gathered, Meng Ju thought in his mind and invited Yi Xiaodao, Li Chimei and other frontier generals to meet with them. Meng Ju took Li Chimei's hand, led him to the middle of the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am here  Going south, the biggest gain is not the armor or money, but this brother! This is Woye Li Chimei, from now on, he will also be our good brother!"

    In the military circles of Northern Xinjiang, Li Chimei's name was resounding and everyone had been famous for a long time. Seeing that Meng Ju valued him so much, no one dared to look down upon him just because he was a surrendered general. They all came forward to greet him and introduced themselves politely.  .  Being praised so highly by Meng Ju and given such honor to him in front of all the generals, Li Chimei was also extremely excited, with tears shining in his eyes.

    And when Yi Xiaodao and others were introduced, the atmosphere became much more relaxed - these brigade marshals were old friends with whom everyone often dealt.  In the past days, these brigade commanders secretly assisted Meng Ju many times.  In the eyes of the subordinates, they had already worn the same pants as Meng Ju. The only thing they were surprised about was, why did they wait until now to come?

    All of a sudden, the old and new generals introduced each other, greeted each other, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.

    Lan Zheng congratulated Meng Ju on behalf of everyone: "The Governor went south this time and defeated the border troops in Jincheng, which shocked the world. We, the Dongling Guards, all feel the honor. Today, the Governor not only returned safely with great honors, but also brought back  With so many good brothers joining us, we have strengthened the strength of our Dongping Mausoleum Guards. This is great news for our Dongping Mausoleum Guards! We have set up a banquet in Shuozhou City in front of us to welcome the return of the Governor and all the brothers. Today  It¡¯s late, everyone will never come home unless they¡¯re drunk!¡±

    Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, you will never come home if you don't get drunk!"

    There is something that has been in Meng Ju¡¯s stomach for a long time, but he has never been able to ask.  Now that Lan Zheng mentioned it, Meng Ju wasn't afraid of being embarrassed.  He called Lu Liulou to come to him and asked: "Liuluo, Shuozhou is still the territory of the border army, right? Why are you here?"

    Lu Liulou smiled mysteriously at Meng Ju. He pulled Meng Ju through the crowd and walked towards a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe.

    "Governor, do you recognize who this is?"

    Meng Ju looked at the person in front of him. He was a scholar in blue shirt in his forties, with a well-proportioned figure, elegant appearance and elegant temperament.  When he saw Meng Ju, he bowed to the ground humbly, and the smile on his face was very friendly. In fact, Meng Ju had seen this strange scribe just now, but he only thought that he was brought by one of his subordinates.  The attendant didn't pay attention either.

    Meng Ju looked at him carefully, shook his head and said, "Forgive my blindness. Who is this gentleman on the sixth floor?"

    Before Lu Liulou could say anything, the scribe had bowed deeply again: "The sinner Sun Xiang, please see the Governor of the Sixth Town, Meng Da."

    "Sun Xiang?" Meng Ju searched for the name in his mind: "Sun Xiang? The governor guarding Shuozhou seems to have this name I wonder if you have any connection with Governor Sun?"

    The civil servant's face turned red, and he said abruptly: "The sinner is Sun, the former governor of Shuozhou. The sinner was ignorant in the past and did not know where destiny was and where the righteousness lies. Forced by the strength of the Northern bandits, he had no choice but to surrender to the thieves. As a guard, the sinner  The officials of the border area have ignored the great righteousness and betrayed the great trust of the imperial court. They really deserve to die. Today, I can finally see the return of the royal master of the imperial court. The guilty officials suddenly woke up and returned to the right path. They are willing to lead the soldiers and civilians of Shuozhou Hecheng to defect to the command of the governor and seek the return of the great governor.  The governor can forgive the past sins of the guilty minister"

    &nbspMeng Ju interrupted Sun Xiang: "Governor Sun, have Tuoba Xiong's troops stationed in Shuozhou been mobilized to go south?"

    Sun Xiang shuddered, and under Meng Ju's stern gaze, he said honestly: "Yes, a few months ago, the three brigade border troops stationed in Shuozhou, with more than 10,000 troops, had already moved south. I heard that Master Wang  With great bravery, he defeated the rebel Tuoba Xiong. The rebel Tuoba's frontline troops were tight, so as a last resort, he had sent troops from the rear to reinforce."

    Meng Ju nodded: "It's no wonder."
