Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking at the city and the people of Chu Nan Mansion, Meng Ju and his men had the urge to burst into tears: The soldiers and horses walked in Jizhou for more than ten days in the rain, unable to light a fire and squatting in the mud and water to eat dry food every day.  There was a faint sound of bird in my mouth.  Now it's better, I'm back in a populated area, and I can finally have a sip of hot soup!

    At the city gate, Meng Ju met with the local officials who had surrendered. He promulgated the imperial decree and applauded the officials.

    Naturally, the officials were all crying and repenting. They were all loyal to the Wei Dynasty, but they had been forced by the rebels before and had no choice but to succumb to the thieves. Now seeing the return of Master Wang, they decided to do it anyway - Meng Ju was very suspicious.  Were the officials of the Wei Dynasty trained or unified in advance?  Otherwise, why would I have traveled thousands of miles from north to south and met every official who said exactly the same thing, almost without changing any words?

    But having seen this kind of scene so many times, Meng Ju was no longer surprised.  He promoted the kindness of the court, saying that the court was considerate of everyone's difficulties, even those who had rebelled and joined thieves, as long as they reformed, the court would forget the past.  Then, in the name of the imperial court, he re-appointed more than 40 officials including Liu Renqi, the governor of Southern Chu, to stay in office to maintain the place. All the officials burst into tears and shouted, "The governor is kind and righteous, and the guilty ministers will die thousands of times to repay it."  .

    After completing this procedure, Chu Nan Mansion will be restored.  The Dongping Middle Route Army rested in Chunan Mansion in Jeju and stopped going south. Both Meng Ju and his chief aide Mr. Wen felt that Jeju was the limit of the Murong family's tolerance.  If they continue to go south, maybe the Murong family will fall out.

    After going south from Dongping.  The Dongping Army hurried all the way, either fighting or marching, eating and sleeping in the open.  Being exposed to rain and sun, these past few months have made everyone very tired. The Central Army was exhausted from top to bottom.  The soldiers were so tired that they were emaciated and staggered when they walked.  After the soldiers and horses entered Chu Nan Mansion, the first thing everyone was busy with was to find a place to sleep. After resting in the dark for two days, the soldiers finally took a breath and got up again staggeringly.  .

    In the afternoon of the third day after entering Chu Nan Mansion, Meng Ju was still resting when the guards came to report.  He said it was Mr. Wen who asked to see him.

    "Mr. Wen is here again?" Meng Ju was woken up and felt confused: "Didn't we just meet last night?"

    Meng Ju hurriedly got up to wash up and met Mr. Wen in the side hall.

    "Sir, you are in a hurry to see me. Do you have something important?"

    Seeing Meng Ju¡¯s tired face and red eyes, Mr. Wen knew that he had been woken up from his nap.  He bowed deeply: "I'm disturbing my lord's rest. The student is guilty. It's really a matter of great importance. The student doesn't dare to delay."

    "Haha, it doesn't matter. Official business is important, sir, please tell me."

    "It's mainly about two things. First, Emperor Tuoba sent an envoy to visit my lord. The envoy just entered Chunan City this morning. Because the envoy had an old acquaintance with the student before, he went to find the student first to talk about old times. Because it was old times.  It was hard to avoid Japanese friendship, so the student treated him to a meal and just sent him back to the inn. This was an important matter and the student did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly came to report to the lord that he was disturbing the lord's rest. Please ask the lord.  Forgive me."

    "Ah? You woke me up and sent a messenger for Tuoba Xiong? You couldn't even wait for me to wake up?"

    Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, thinking that although this was a big matter, it was not an urgent matter, and there was no need to rush to wake him up from his nap. While he was hesitating, he suddenly understood when he saw Mr. Wen's calm face.

    Tuoba Xiong sent an envoy. This was not a big deal for him, but it was a big deal for Mr. Wen.  Because of his sensitive identity, he was sent over from the border army, and he was under the melons and plums, so he avoided suspicion.

    In case he arrives late, someone slanders Meng Ju first, accusing him of secret meetings with frontier envoys and secret conspiracy. Of course, Meng Ju is a generous man, so he may not believe these baseless slanders.  But it always takes some time to explain.  It would be even more troublesome if Meng Ju didn't mention it on the surface and just had a hidden opinion of him in his heart, without even a chance to explain.

    Although waking up the lord from his nap would make him unhappy, it was just a minor incident. Meng Ju could only be angry for a while and it would be over.  In contrast, if the lord has doubts about his loyalty, that is a big danger.

    Mr. Wen is well versed in the ways of the world and knows what is light and what is serious. He did not dare to neglect anything like this. He immediately reported it to Meng Ju as soon as he saw off his guests.

    Meng Ju smiled and said: "Although our positions are different, it is human nature for old friends to visit and treat each other with courtesy. Sir, you are too careful. Did Emperor Tuoba send someone to find me? Who is the envoy?  ?¡±

    "The messenger lord also recognizes him, but he is the Governor of the Yuan Dynasty in Northern Henan."

    "Captain Yuan of Northern Henan? Who is that?"

    "The Governor of the Yuan Dynasty"??Served in Dongping and served as the governor of Dongping.  .  .  "

    Meng Ju slapped his thigh: "It turns out to be Governor Yuanyi Kangyuan! Duke Yuan is my old boss. Since he is here, he should have informed me of the banquet, and I should have gone and offered him a toast."  "

    Meng Ju¡¯s words were not entirely polite. Yuan Yikang once served as the governor of Dongping, and that was in Ye Canan¡¯s era.  Meng Ju, Yi Xiaodao, Xiao Heng and others can all be regarded as his old troops.

    Although Yuan Yikang was not very talented or courageous, he was peaceful, did not act like a governor, and was kind to others. At that time, the generals in Dongping had a good impression of him.  Especially after the Jing'an War, he protected Meng Ju under the threat of Tuoba Xiong. This can be regarded as a favor to Meng Ju, and Meng Ju will always remember it.

    "Captain Yuan is a good man, but he is such a cautious person. Why did he side with Uncle Tuoba? This is strange."

    "Students do know a little bit about this matter. Governor Yuan is a good-tempered man. When he came out to control northern Henan, he originally held a neutral attitude toward the dispute between the imperial court and the emperor's uncle. But when the imperial court rose, his methods were too harsh, and Luo  Almost all of the Jingyuan family were killed by the rebels. When the news came, Governor Yuan had no choice. He could only side with Emperor Tuoba. Now, seeing the imperial army growing stronger and the emperor's country declining, Yuan  The governor looked a lot more haggard and had lost weight."

    Meng Ju sighed and said: "Yuan Gong has been well versed in the world and people all his life, has a wide range of contacts, and is smooth in all directions. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake on this important matter. It really makes people speechless. In this world, no good person can survive.  Yes! But the emperor¡¯s uncle sent Governor Yuan to find me, what¡¯s the purpose of that?¡±

    "Captain Yuan told me about this matter at noon. Uncle Tuoba intends to join forces with my lord to fight against the imperial court - well, at noon, Governor Yuan asked the students first because he wanted the students to help persuade the lord.  Agree to this."

    Meng Ju looked at Mr. Wen with a half-smile: "The Marshal is generous and always generous with his actions. I want to ask you to help me persuade me this time. You won't just talk in vain, right?"

    Mr. Wen looked calm: "Ashamed, ashamed. The marshal insisted on giving some money for ink and paper, so the student had no choice but to refuse." He said he was ashamed, but his expression was calm, and there was no trace of uneasiness in his expression.

    The two looked at each other and laughed.

    After laughing, Mr. Wen said seriously: "So, my lord is planning to reject the marshal?"

    "Huh? How did you know, sir?"

    "I didn't know it at first, but when my lord smiled like that, the students guessed it."

    Mr. Wen said solemnly: "My lord is wise and wise, with far-reaching thoughts. There are some things that my lord should know well. But if the student does not say anything, it is the student's dereliction of duty as a subject, so I still ask you to forgive me for talking more."  Bar.

    "The student knows that the lord and the emperor's uncle had enmity in the past, but since ancient times, all those who plan for world affairs have put aside personal feelings and put interests first.  In today's Wei Dynasty, the three families of the lord, the court and the emperor's uncle stand side by side. The court is strong, but the lord and the emperor's uncle are weak.

    Now, the lord has occupied three-thirds of the Wei Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Murong court to accommodate such a powerful official who suppresses the vassal.  If the emperor's uncle falls, the next target of the imperial court's troops will definitely be the lord.  Although the lord has a strong army, his foundation is still shallow. Facing the overwhelming military force of the imperial court, it is bound to be difficult for him to last for a long time.

    Now, the situation is very obvious: the longer the emperor's uncle persists, the more time you can buy, my lord, and the more beneficial it will be to you. The interests of your lord and the emperor's uncle are already secretly aligned. If they cooperate, it will be beneficial to both of them.  Every family is beneficial - this is a student's advice. It may be redundant, but I still ask for your advice.  "

    When Mr. Wen was speaking, Meng Jujian frowned slightly and lowered his eyes for a long time. He said, "Mr.'s analysis is very powerful and he is concerned about the overall situation. It makes sense. I also agree - keeping Tuoba Xiong from being eliminated is indeed more beneficial to us."  favorable."

    "Then, what do you mean, lord?"

    "However, I really can't do it by joining forces with Tuoba Xiong - I also know that what sir said is right, but there is no way, I just can't do it."

    Meng Ju looked straight ahead, looking through Mr. Wen, as if casting his gaze to somewhere in the void. He spoke slowly and in a low voice: "You want to join forces with the murderer of Canaan? This is absolutely impossible.

    Those who seek big things need to put aside personal grudges - that's a pity. Maybe Meng is not born to do big things. I am the most petty person. I have clear grudges and will retaliate.  Forgive Tuoba Xiong and join forces with him. For such a thing, let alone planning some major world affairs, even if you kill me, you can't do it.

    Sorry, Mr. Wen, I, a willful person, have disappointed you, right?  "

    Mr. Wen looked at Meng Ju and this young general.  heHis expression was a little moved, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.  After a long time, he sighed: "My lord, you are right, you are too willful and driven by your own emotions, and you are indeed not a person suitable for striving for world hegemony."

    Meng Ju tilted his head slightly and remained silent, looking down at the ground in front of him.

    "But these days, there are too many heroes suitable to fight for hegemony in the world, and there is no shortage of you, my lord."

    "ah?"
