    "Did the Montenegro army disarm and kidnap them?"

    Meng Ju felt that Ma Gui¡¯s proposal was really good.  [Just read the novel~] The only pity is that the leader of the Black Mountain Army still has some friendship with Meng Ju. Military advisor Liu Bin just revealed important military information to Meng Ju, and he was too embarrassed to immediately fall out and arrest him.  ransom.

    Moreover, after arresting Ma Gui, he could explain afterwards that he was too happy to see his old friend, so he forced him to stay and reminisce about old times. No matter whether the Murong family believed it or not, I believed it anyway.  When the imperial troops disarm and capture prisoners, there will inevitably be battles and casualties. This will anger the Murong family and lead to a complete breakdown of relations between the two parties.

    Therefore, Meng Ju really couldn't adopt Ma Gui's suggestion.  He thought for a while and said: "Eunuch Ma, you have worked hard for coming all the way. Go down and rest first - someone is here!"

    Meng Ju shouted, and two personal guards entered in response.  Meng Ju pointed at Ma Gui: "Take the imperial envoy to rest and serve him well. Don't let the imperial envoy make any mistakes."

    The guards responded and took Ma Gui down. The latter looked at Meng Ju pitifully, but did not dare to plead and followed the guards out obediently.

    Meng Ju was immediately in a good mood when he took Ma Gui and locked up the small dark room.  He thought for a while and called his personal guard: "Is Master Liu at his residence? Go and have a look. If he is, tell her that I am going to visit and ask her if it is convenient for her to receive you?"

    The guard looked at Meng Ju in surprise: As the governor, why should I be so polite and make an appointment when visiting a subordinate?

    Meng Ju glared at him, and the guard immediately woke up.  He lowered his head and said, "Yes, little one, go right away."

    Watching the guards go out, Meng Ju breathed a sigh of relief silently.  Meng Ju hosted a banquet hosted by Ouyang Qingqing.  Liu Kongqin did not attend.  Meng Ju didn't blame her for being rude - on the contrary, he felt guilty when he thought of Liu Kongqin.  Instead, it felt like I had done something wrong.

    In this battle going south, among the three Tianjie Mingjue divisions, apart from Mr. Zuo who stayed behind at the Dongping base camp, two Mingjue divisions from the Ye family - Liu Kongqin and Han Jiu - also followed the army south.  But since going south, the Dongping Army has been invincible all the way, and the two Tianjie Mingjue Masters are useless. They can only hide in the army and serve as mascots.  I wonder if Liu Kongqin has been avoiding Meng Ju for several months.  Although the two of them were in the same camp of the Central Route Army, they had never met once.

    After waiting for a while, the bodyguard came back to report, saying that Liu Kongqin was resting at his residence and had nothing to do. The governor was welcome to visit. When reporting, the bodyguard was also wondering: What happened today?  The Grand Governor personally visited a Mingjue Master.  This could be said to be the Commander-in-Chief, Corporal Li Xian, but Master Mingjue of the Ye family was so trustworthy that he knew that the Commander-in-Chief had something to call him, so he didn't come over quickly to obey his orders. Instead, he put up a front at home and waited for the Commander-in-Chief to come.  Isn't she too patient?

    But regardless of what his subordinates thought, knowing that Liu Kongqin welcomed him over, Meng Ju breathed out lightly - Liu Kongqin was not the only Mingjue Master sent by the Ye family. If Liu Kongqin said that he had no time to go to Han Jiu,  If so, he really doesn't know how to step down.

    Liu Kongqin¡¯s residence is not in the military camp. She is not far from Meng Ju¡¯s government office, on the same street.  It was the residence of an old Beijing official named Lu, and Liu Kongqin also stayed there.  Fortunately, the official Nazhi Shi was very sensible. He knew that Liu Kongqin was a popular person around Marshal Meng of Dongping, so he did not dare to neglect him. He made a whole yard for Liu Kongqin to live in, and also sent several servants to serve him. The service was very attentive.

    When Meng Ju arrived, the old Beijing official who had been a senior official had already led his two sons and a group of family members out to wait for him. The group of people kowtowed and saluted and made a fuss for a while. The old Beijing official came closer and complimented Marshal Meng on his military skills.  Meng Ju couldn't get tired of socializing with others after admiring his reputation for a long time, but it was difficult for him to get angry because he was the owner of the house.

    But the old gentleman was not tired of it and kept talking over and over again.  Meng Ju listened patiently for a while, and finally got something interesting. The old Beijing official wanted to recommend his youngest son to Meng Ju for an official career.

    Regarding this, Meng Ju does not reject anyone - the Dongping Army's territory has increased dramatically, and it is the time to hire people. Meng Ju always welcomes nobles who come to seek refuge with you. After all, this shows that they have confidence in your future.  .  (Just read the novel.)

    I think back when Wuchuan was captured, the local officials there would rather abandon their posts than serve under the Dongping Army. Compared to now, the local nobles are willing to join us. I have to say that this is indeed a big improvement.

    Meng Ju then summoned his youngest son, Lu Jingguan, who was a handsome young man.  After a few exchanges with him, Meng Ju was satisfied with how articulate and clear his thinking was.  After further questioning, it turned out that this young man still had the reputation of being a scholar, and Meng Ju was even more satisfied.

    "What do you call your master? Oh, Lu Renjia, right? In this way, you understandWhen Tian went to the government office to report to Mr. Wen from the literature office, he said that I asked you to come and asked Mr. Wen to arrange a position for you - Mr. Lu, is Master Liu here?  I have something to talk to her about.  "

    The Beijing official surnamed Lu was extremely grateful and hurriedly got up and led the way, leading Meng Ju to the entrance of the backyard.

    "Grand Governor, Master Liu is resting inside. The common people here are afraid of disturbing the master's practice. Please forgive me for being rude, so I won't accompany you in."

    Meng Ju secretly praised the old guy for his knowledge and understanding, and waved his hand: "Mr. Lu, please help yourself. I can just go in by myself."

    The door to the backyard is unlocked and opens with a push. It is a small, plain courtyard with a plum tree planted in the courtyard and stone benches under the tree.

    Meng Ju saw Liu Kongqin at first sight. This slender woman was under the plum tree, looking up at the white flowers on the tree.  When she heard the sound of Meng Ju coming in, she turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

    She bent her knees slightly and said a blessing salute.

    Meng Ju nodded in return. He looked at Liu Kongqin and recalled the past since he met her, with mixed feelings in his heart.

    Neither of them spoke, the courtyard was quiet, and the plum blossoms fell from between them and swayed in the wind.

    "Miss Liu, I came here recklessly today and disturbed your peace."

    Liu Kongqin smiled faintly, as plainly as the plum blossoms on her head: "The Marshal is here today, and our courtyard is full of glory. Why bother? Marshal, please sit down."

    The two of them sat down on the stone bench. Meng Ju said in deep thought: "Kong Qin. Why do you call me Marshal? I remember that you used to call me Meng Ju. You might as well continue to call me that way now."  ?¡±

    Liu Kongqin smiled and shook his head: "It's different. Marshal, we can't go back to the past. You have changed, and we have all changed. Now, if I still call you what I called you yesterday, it is no longer appropriate."

    Meng Ju raised his head and looked up at the white flowers on the tree, feeling sad in his heart.

    Yes, everyone has changed.  Those days of youth.  The days of passion and simplicity are gone.  Friends who were close friends back then, now have new roles.  Meng Ju is a powerful warlord who dominates one side, and Liu Kongqin is the liaison sent by his partner Ye family - if she doesn't call herself Marshal, what else can she call herself?

    Such a beautiful scenery, sitting with an elegant and beautiful woman.  But when it came to the intrigues with the imperial court, Meng Judu felt that he had really disgraced the scenery.  He hesitated and didn't know how to speak, but Liu Kongqin was generous and asked: "Commander, we are here today. I guess there must be something important?"

    "Uh yes, there is something. I would like to trouble the Ye family to help find out. I heard a news that Zhang Quan, the governor of Shuzhou, was escorting a batch of military supplies to Jeju. I don't know whether this is true or not? Is this true?  I would like to trouble my father-in-law to help find out the details."

    "A baggage convoy? Is it large in scale?"

    Meng Ju pondered slightly: "The scale should be quite large. There should be thousands of people in the convoy and the escorting officers and soldiers."

    "That's not difficult. With such a large movement of troops, horses and supplies, the camp will definitely hear the news, and the general's name is also known. There is no need to trouble the family leader about this matter. We also have Master Mingjue at the camp.  The little lady will send a message for you and ask. (Read the novel and you¡¯ll be there.)¡±

    Liu Kongqin closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, she opened her eyes and nodded to Meng Ju: "Captain Zhang of Shuzhou has not been in the camp recently, and Master Mingjue over there doesn't know where he went, but they know  , Xingying recently transferred a batch of battle armor and grains to go north to Shuzhou There are about two hundred battle armors, and the specific amount of grain is unknown, but the quantity is huge, and it is indeed transferred to Governor Zhang for escort. As for the specific purpose of the escort, it is not yet known. "

    "Is there really such a supply convoy?"

    "This is indeed true. The convoy has now left the camp and has arrived in Yanzhou."

    Hearing the news, Meng Ju breathed a sigh of relief.  Not only because the reward from the Murong family is real and he can make a small fortune, but more importantly, the Murong family spends huge sums of money to stabilize themselves, which shows that they have no plans to eliminate themselves for the time being¡ª¡ª  Perhaps, in Murong Po's eyes, he, a domineering warlord, was still someone he could win over and win over, right?

    "That's great, Miss Liu, thank you."

    "Wherever it goes, it is also a little girl's honor to be able to help the commander-in-chief in a small way."

    Once the information was found out, the matter was settled, but Meng Ju was embarrassed to just pat his ass and leave - after all, he was an old friend, so this would be too utilitarian.

    He smiled dryly and was thinking about what topic to chat with Liu Kongqin, but Liu Kongqin spoke first: "Commander, there is something that, as an ally, the Ye family wants to inform you."

    "Miss Liu,Please tell me.  "

    "The imperial court's counterinsurgency campaign has become increasingly clear. After the Fourth Battle of Jincheng, the main force of the rebels suffered a heavy setback and were expelled from Xiangzhou, Shangdang and other places, and retreated north to Yanzhou. The imperial troops are pursuing them. Now.  , the main battlefield has been transferred to Yanzhou, and the imperial troops are chasing and suppressing the rebels."

    Meng Ju slightly raised his eyebrows. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he certainly knew the common sense that retreating in front of the enemy has always been the most difficult military operation.  People were frightened, soldiers were shaken, civilians fled, baggage was discarded, and weapons were lost. According to the organizational level of the Wei Dynasty's army, it is not surprising that 50% to 60% of the troops and horses were lost during the retreat, not to mention weapons and baggage.  .  The main force of the frontier army was defeated again and again in Xiangzhou. The people were panicked and retreated several times. The frontier army could still maintain its troops until now. This is really a sign of Tuoba Xiong's ability to command troops.

    "So, it won't be long for the rebels, right?"

    "The main force of the rebels is currently guarding Hongde City in Yanzhou, but the imperial troops are encircling them everywhere. If the emperor's uncle Tuoba Xiong does not want to be encircled and eliminated in Hongde City, then he must retreat north again before the king's army encircles him - the head of the family  It is estimated that if they withdraw again, the remnants of the rebels will most likely come straight to Jeju and may fight you. Commander, you'd better prepare early Is Tuoba Xiong coming straight to Jeju?

    When Meng Ju heard the news, his first reaction was that Ye Jianxin was joking.  It's not like Tuoba Xiong has never fought against the Dongping Army before.  In the past, even the frontier troops in their heyday had not been able to take advantage of Meng Ju. Now that Tuoba Xiong only had 30,000 to 20,000 defeated soldiers left, it was even less likely that they would come looking for death.

    so.  When he returned, Meng Ju told this matter as a joke to Mr. Wen: "Sir, I got the news. The emperor's uncle has been defeated again and again in Xiangzhou and Yanzhou, and it is no longer tenable. Some people speculate that they will  Come straight to our Jeju¡ªhaha, it¡¯s really funny.¡±

    Hearing the news, Mr. Wen¡¯s reaction was very strange.  He thought for a while and asked: "Lord, is the news that the emperor's uncle was defeated and retreated from Hongde City in Yanzhou true?"

    "This is true."

    "Hongde City in Yanzhouis only more than five hundred miles away from us. The student feels that according to the emperor's temperament, this is indeed very possible. Lord, the war is imminent, you'd better prepare in advance."

    Ye Jianxin said this, but Meng Ju didn't take it to heart yet. It was not the first time that the boss of the Ye family had gone crazy, but Mr. Wen was thoughtful.  He never spoke lightly, and if he even said that, Meng Ju couldn't help but ignore it.

    "Why? Does Tuoba Xiong think that if he can't defeat the Jinwu Guards of the imperial court, will he take advantage of me? If the emperor comes to Jeju, our Dongping Army will intercept him in the front, and the imperial court will pursue him behind.  , isn¡¯t he looking for death?¡±

    "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with military affairs, it is purely a political consideration - well, let's put it this way, if my lord joins forces with the imperial troops to suppress the rebellion, will your lord attack the rebels with all your strength?"

    Meng Ju immediately shook his head: "Of course not! Our army is a partial division and is only responsible for cooperating. Since there are soldiers and horses from the imperial court, they will naturally be responsible for the frontal attack - at most when the king's division attacks  , our army will just help them raid the formation. I will personally go into battle and beat drums to cheer them up."

    You should know that rabbits will kick their legs and bite people when they are in a hurry. The Art of War also says "Don't stop when you return to the enemy." The resistance of dead soldiers in desperate situations is often the most intense.  Suppressing the rebels is what the Murong family is anxious about. Meng Jucai is not willing to waste his elites to fight against Tuoba Xiong's determined bandits.

    Moreover, even if Meng Ju hates Tuoba Xiong so much that he gnashes his teeth, he does not dare to go all out to fight Tuoba Xiong's remnants, so as not to lose both sides and be taken advantage of by the imperial soldiers. This is not surprising. The imperial court still dares not touch Dongping.  , firstly because they were worried that the rebels were still alive, and secondly because Dongping had strong soldiers and horses.  But if the Dongping Army and Tuoba Xiong fight and the rebels are wiped out and the Dongping Army is greatly weakened, there is no guarantee that the imperial court will not have some bad intentions and kill Meng Ju conveniently.

    Mr. Wen looked at Meng Ju and said softly: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit. It is normal for my lord to have such concerns."

    "So what?"

    "It's nothing, it's just that the court will think so."

    Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became solemn, and he slowly sat down.

    "I see."

    Meng Ju was certainly wary of the imperial court's pursuers, so how could the Murong family not be wary of Meng Ju, a man with superior military strength and ulterior motives who was trying to suppress the vassal?  The remnants of Tuoba Xiong came straight to Jeju, not to fight with Meng Ju - on the contrary, he just wanted to create a chaotic situation that everyone would be wary of.  At that time, the Dongping Army and the imperial troops all had different intentions and were wary. No one was willing to attack Tuoba Xiong with all their strength. In this way, Tuoba Xiong could profit from it and find a way to escape.

    "But like this, TuobaIsn't it too risky for the emperor's uncle?  If his plan fails to succeed, the rest of the border army will be turned into powder under the attack between us and the imperial court.  "

    Mr. Wen said calmly: "Throw yourself into death and then survive, trap into death and then live. The emperor's uncle was chased and beaten by the court, which was a dead end. Even if the plan failed, he would still be a dead man, and he could still be bad.  Where to go?

    Since everything is a dead end, the emperor's uncle might as well just flee into Jeju and drag the commander-in-chief, your new force, into the situation.  With the additional variable of you, Marshal, the water will be muddied, and the emperor's uncle will have the opportunity to use his hands and feet.  When the situation becomes chaotic, maybe there will be some changes?  "

    "Hey, Emperor Tuoba thinks I'm too stupid, right? Now that I've seen through his plan, how can I still fall into his trap?"

    Mr. Wen shook his head: "My lord, you are smart and wise. I believe that the commander-in-chief of the imperial court will not be mediocre by then. The emperor's plan is very superficial, and a discerning person can see through it with just a little thought. But if you see through it, you will see through it.  There is nothing anyone can do. This is an aboveboard conspiracy in itself.

    ¡°My lord, the student dares to ask if you can make a way.  Let Uncle Tuoba go north?  "

    Meng Ju said categorically: "Absolutely not!" - Putting aside the past grievances of Ye Canaan, just talking about the interests, the main force of the Dongping Army is now gathered in Jeju.  Further north, Jizhou, Zhongshan County, Bingzhou and other places were empty of troops and almost defenseless.  These newly conquered states and counties have finally reorganized their order. If the defeated border troops are allowed to escape, won't these rebels destroy all their territory?  Not to mention anything else, Meng Ju invested heavily in Jiangjuntun in Jizhou and spent a lot of money.  By the time it is attacked by insurgents, all the investment and hard work will be wasted.  How could Meng Ju agree?

    Mr. Wen nodded slightly and asked: "My lord, please dare me to ask again, if the imperial soldiers and horses are stationed next to you, can you trust them wholeheartedly and not be wary?"

    "impossible!"

    "My lord, I would like to ask you three bold questions: With the strength of our army, can we fight the rebels at the same time and deal with the all-out sneak attack by the imperial troops?"

    "Here, it's probably impossible for our family to fight against the imperial court and the emperor's family - Mr. Wen, you don't have to say it anymore, I understand what you mean."

    Meng Ju really understood.  This is a conspiracy. As long as the pattern of mutual concern between the court and Meng Ju does not change, Tuoba Xiong will have a chance.  At that time, in Jeju, there will be three armies of the imperial court, the rebels, and the Dongping Army. At that time, Tuo Baxiong will use various means to provoke, win over, divide, and alienate. There will be endless conspiracies and tricks.

    For example, pretending to be the Dongping Army to sneak attack the imperial troops, or pretending to be the imperial troops to sneak attack the Dongping Army - Meng Ju, who is not very resourceful, can come up with so many ideas in an instant, and a person like Tuoba Xiong, who has a profound strategy, will definitely do it.  Come up with more tricks.  Even if Meng Ju could ensure that he was clear-minded and would not be fooled, he could not ensure that the leading generals of the Murong family were as smart as him!

    "Mr. Wen, Uncle Tuoba intends to drive a wedge between Dongping and the imperial court, and his intentions are very vicious. Don't we have any way to deal with it?"

    Mr. Wen was silent for a long time and said sadly: "Master, there is actually a way to deal with it. There should be wise men in the court. They should also see the emperor's plan. The only way to prevent the emperor from succeeding is to prevent him from succeeding.  Destroy them before they escape to Jeju. But whether we can do this or not is not up to us, but up to the court."

    Meng Ju sneered a few times.  Although the Jinwu Guards had won the counterinsurgency civil war, to be honest, Meng Ju didn't really take them seriously - without him going north to help in the battle, and without the Ye family's Ming Jueshi guarding the formation, it was just the Jinwu Guards' gang that  People's virtuous nature has long been beaten to shit by the border troops.  Now, with a powerful weapon like Ye Jia Mingjue's division, the Jinwu Guards, with three or four times the superior force plus Ming Jue's division, defeated the remnants of the border army and chased them all the way from Xiangzhou to Yanzhou.  They still couldn't end the war after waiting for more than half a year, which shows the level of Jin Wuwei's combat power.

    Thinking of this, Meng Ju suddenly felt heroic in his chest: No matter how many strategies you use, your troops and horses will not win, and everything will be in vain.  If we talk about the strongest military in the world, who else can it belong to except me, the Dongping Army?

    Seeing Mr. Wen's worried expression with furrowed brows, Meng Ju comforted him: "Uncle Huang hasn't come yet, sir, so you don't have to worry too much. Even if Uncle Huang really dares to escape to Jeju in the future - Shui Laitu  Cover, the soldiers will come to block it, the world is created by fighting, not by thinking!

    Although he has thousands of plans, we will only respond to one: No matter Tuobaxiong or Jinwuwei, whoever dares to enter Jeju, we will fight him!  When the time comes, just beat him back. Why worry too much?  "

    Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his brows: "What the Lord said is true, but the student just thought wrong. Our army has strong soldiers and can cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.It is enough to crush all conspiracies and sneakiness - approaching it with a dignified teacher is the right way Meng Ju waited for three days in Chu Nan Mansion. The Murong family's luggage had not arrived yet, but an uninvited guest came.  That day, as soon as he got up, his personal guards came to report that someone claiming to be an old friend of the Grand Governor wanted to see him. He claimed that his surname was Yi.

    "Mr. Yi is here?" Meng Ju said in surprise, "This is really an old friend. Please invite him in."

    In the reception room, Meng Ju saw Mr. Yi again. He raised his hands and greeted, "It's been half a year since Luo Jing said goodbye. How are you, sir?"

    "Thanks to the great governor, everything is fine. Is the great governor okay?"

    Seeing Mr. Yi dressed in cloth dusty with dust, Meng Ju couldn't help but smile on his face.  In this cruel and war-torn era,

    Many familiar people and things are changing, but Mr. Yi is the only person Meng Ju knows who has not changed - no matter when and where he is, he is always so coquettish, always so wretched.

    The two sat down separately, and Meng Ju sent all the attendants out.  Before he could greet Mr. Yi, he saw that his expression had become serious. He asked in a low voice: "Meng Yingyang, let me ask you something first. You must answer me truthfully: Are you with the Ye family?"  Are you engaged to marry Miss Ye Zijun?" (To be continued)
