    At dusk on May 24th, the main force of the border army had just arrived, and envoys were sent to Anping City that night.

    Regarding the envoys sent by the border army, Meng Ju used his knees to wonder what they would say.  In order to hold Tuoba Xiong back and give him a glimmer of hope that he would not immediately jump over the wall, Meng Ju still met him.

    Meng Ju said calmly: "I'm very busy. I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to say, just finish it and leave."

    The envoy bowed and said: "A quarter of an hour is enough. Grand Governor, you are now in a high and powerful position, and it is the time when you are in high spirits. But do you know that you are already on the edge of a cliff, and your family is dead?  Is a catastrophe imminent?"

    As expected, as Meng Ju expected, throughout the ages, the first tactic of all lobbyists to impress people is to scare people with alarmism. Meng Ju's ears were calloused when he heard similar words. He was so bored that he yawned twice in a row and looked out the window and tweeted.  The chirping birds were lost in thought.

    The envoy looked at Meng Ju awkwardly: The governor is too uncooperative. Even if he talks about cross talk, he still needs someone to win his praise.  Meng Ju asked silently: "Where did the disaster come from?" How could he continue to talk alone?

    He watched for a while and saw that Meng Ju still had no intention of speaking, so he had no choice but to continue: "Grand Governor, please don't disagree with me. Let me explain to you first: the Grand Governor now holds heavy troops and controls five states and three counties.  He was a powerful and important minister of the Wei Dynasty, and he was unparalleled. But looking at the annals of history, the Governor found that in the Wei Dynasty, there were no powerful ministers like you who had great achievements and shaken up the lord, and had a good ending since ancient times?

    The reason why the Murong family is tolerant now is simply because the imperial uncle is still alive, and the Murong family needs to borrow the martial arts and military power of the major governors, so they pretend to win over the major governors.  But once the emperor's uncle is defeated and dies - hasn't the governor heard the saying, 'when the bird is gone, the bow is hidden, when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked'?

    The governor-general is brave and good at fighting, and the troops under his command are extremely powerful. With the system of the country, how can we tolerate a Han general to control such power?  If the emperor's uncle is defeated today, the next person to be eradicated from the Murong family will definitely be you, the chief governor.  so.  The governor and the emperor's uncle were actually dependent on each other and shared blessings and misfortunes.  "

    Meng Ju yawned again. He squinted at the other party: "Then what can we do?"

    I have said so much sincerely.  Meng Ju was finally willing to speak, and the envoy immediately became energetic: I'm not afraid of you replying or scolding me, but I'm afraid you won't speak.  As long as the other person is willing to talk.  This means that the other party is interested, and then you have a chance.

    "The Grand Governor is far-sighted and his knowledge is unparalleled. With the Grand Governor's wisdom, he can naturally see that the key point now is to keep the Emperor's uncle.

    "As long as the emperor's uncle is still alive, the imperial court will not be able to deal with the governor - there is no truth in the world that a good bow is hidden when a bird is still alive, don't you think so, governor?"  "

    Meng Ju glanced out the window and saw that the moon had begun to move westward. He said lazily, "Hmm," "It's almost a quarter of an hour!"

    The envoy then looked out the window and said solemnly: "Great Governor, I know that there were some misunderstandings between you and Emperor Tuoba in the past. But those who achieve great things must be broad-minded. Great Governor, you might as well put aside some of the grievances in the past.  Put it down"

    "Just tell me what you want to do to persuade me?!"

    "Now, the Grand Governor and the Emperor's uncle are at loggerheads. I dare you to persuade the Grand Governor to form an alliance with the Emperor's uncle and join forces to fight against the Murong family."

    "Okay. I agree to this."

    "If you don't refuse, Grand Governor, you might as well think again - eh? Grand Governor, what did you just say?" The messenger suddenly widened his eyes.  Looking at Meng Ju in disbelief, he shouted: "Grand Governor, you just said"

    "I said, I promise to form an alliance with the emperor's uncle and join forces to fight against the Murong family - isn't this what you advised me to do?"

    "Yes, yes, I said it The Governor understands the great righteousness, is open-minded, and is good at accepting loyal advice. This is a wise move"

    Meng Ju looked at him with a smile: "Then, after I form an alliance with the emperor's uncle, how can we join forces to fight against the Murong family?"

    The envoy was in a hurry. He didn't expect Meng Huhui to agree to him so easily. Instead, he panicked and hesitated for a while, but he couldn't explain why he was ugly.

    He was so anxious that he was sweating all over, but Meng Ju looked at him with a smile: "I have an idea on how to form an alliance between the two families to fight against the Murong family. Sir, are you interested in hearing it?"

    The envoy was relieved: "The Governor's idea must be very clever. I am all ears to listen to it."

    "The matter is very simple. Behind the emperor's uncle there are soldiers and horses of the Murong family chasing him. After the imperial soldiers and horses arrive, Emperor Tuoba will fight with him as usual. At that time, our Dongping Army will act as an ambush, from  They fiercely attacked the Murong family from behind - our two families worked together to attack from the front and back. In this way, MurongThe family will inevitably collapse, but the emperor's uncle will succeed in his hegemony!

    Sir, what do you think of this plan?  If the emperor's uncle is really sincere in joining forces with me, he shouldn't refuse, right?  "

    At this moment, the messenger¡¯s expression was really wonderful.  He paused for a long time and said nonchalantly: "This it's a very important matter, let's take a long-term approach"

    "The military situation is so urgent that there is so much time to waste! The matter is settled like this. Sir, please go back to the camp immediately to report the news to the emperor's uncle. Tell the emperor's uncle that my troops are ready to fight.  , I am fully prepared. As soon as the emperor makes a move, I will follow immediately. This is a rare God-given opportunity, so don¡¯t miss it!"

    On the third day after Tuoba Xiong arrived, the scouts reported to Meng Ju that the imperial troops also arrived.  But they did not approach the city. Instead, they set up camp in the countryside twenty miles away from the rebels. Together with the Dongping Army in the city, they formed a "front and rear attack" on the rebels. According to Meng Ju's understanding, they could not hide.  Sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight from afar.

    The three armies were facing each other, but no one started to fight. Instead, they sent envoys continuously to engage in diplomacy. The frequent and intensive exchanges of envoys from all sides reminded Meng Ju of the buzzing bees in a hive.

    In order to persuade Meng Ju to rebel, the border army offered him very generous terms:

    "If the great cause is accomplished, the emperor is willing to make the governor the king of Northern Xinjiang. He will split the earth and make him the king. He will inherit it hereditary and rule the Northern Xinjiang forever!"

    "If the governor is willing to help the emperor's uncle, the emperor is willing to become brothers with the governor. From now on, the governor will be my side-by-side king of the Wei Dynasty. The emperor's uncle and the governor will share the country!"

    "The emperor is willing to enthrone the governor as the prince. A hundred years from now, the Wei Dynasty will be under your rule, the governor!"

    Time passes day by day.  Tuoba Xiong's price also kept getting higher and higher. Finally, the envoy simply shouted: "The emperor is willing to serve as the governor. He will elect the governor as the leader of the Wei Dynasty! After the governor ascends the throne, the emperor only wants to be the leader of one county."  It is enough to wish for a peaceful old age.¡±

    Even though I was mentally prepared in advance, I heard Tuoba Xiong¡¯s statement.  Meng Ju was really excited for a moment - it only lasted for a second, and he immediately woke up and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am really not good at cultivation, and I am actually confused by this illusion like the moon in the water."  ¡±

    Meng Ju¡¯s attitude towards the border army¡¯s persuasion remained consistent.  No matter what conditions Tuoba Xiong offers.  He always agreed: it doesn't matter whether we form an alliance or join forces.  As long as the emperor's uncle takes the lead against the Murong family, I will follow immediately, I promise!

    The border troops were trying hard to win over Meng Ju, but the Murong family was not idle either.  Murong Po, who was in the camp twenty miles away, sent imperial envoys to the city every two days to urge Meng Ju to quickly send troops to attack the rebels.

    The imperial envoy shouted loudly at Meng Ju: "The governor led his troops thousands of miles south to serve the king. Isn't it to find the rebels and fight to the death? The imperial court treated the governor well. He was well paid and well-fed. All equipment and equipment were available. The governor  I vowed before that I would never fight with the Tuoba rebels, but now the rebels are in front of the formation, why has the Grand Governor stood still so far?"

    It has to be said that the court's accusations were indeed very sharp, and even Meng Ju's extremely thick-skinned man couldn't help but feel a fever on his face.  Fortunately, he was prepared.  He shouted back with a louder voice: "What the angel said is not true! You need to know that a few days ago, before the royal army arrived, the rebels wanted to seize the road and flee north. In order to stop their escape, our Dongping Army, regardless of its weak strength,  He resolutely sent troops to intercept and fought with the main force of the rebels in successive battles. Not only did he prevent the rebels from escaping north, but he also defeated at least two brigades of them and made countless gains!"

    As he said that, Meng Ju called someone to take out several dirty, bloody and sloppy flags and threw them at the envoy's feet on the spot: "Angel, please look, these are the battle flags of the rebel 'Thunder' and 'Flying Crane' brigades.  Now that it has been captured by our army, this is clear evidence of our army¡¯s bloody battle!¡±

    As he spoke, Meng Ju's voice turned deeper: "In order to prevent the rebels from escaping north, our army fought successively. We suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted. The silver coins, grain and grass previously rewarded by the court have been exhausted, and the battle armor has also been exhausted.  Destroyed. Although our army tried its best, due to the huge disparity in strength, we were outnumbered and had to retreat to the city to confront the rebels. Without strong reinforcements, our army will be unable to fight again in the near future."

    Speaking of this, the Governor was very excited. He choked with sobs: "I didn't expect that our Dongping Army fought with the rebels in bloody battles and fought to the death. We were so loyal and brave, but in the end we ended up being suspected by the imperial court. God said  How unfair! The sky is clear, the sky is clear!"

    After checking the authentic flags of the Border Army Brigade, the imperial envoy suddenly lost his temper: No matter how much the Grand Governor boasted, there were two battle flags of the Border Army Brigade. They must have fought with the Border Army, so they still have to be tough.  It would be unreasonable to say that the Dongping Army stood still.

    The imperial envoy onlyHe calmly smoothed things over for himself: "It turns out that the truth is actually like this. The imperial court mistakenly heard the rumors of traitors and almost wrongly blamed the governor. This is really Oh, it was a misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding!"

    Meng Ju said calmly: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all the blessings of the Holy One. I will not dare to complain. It's just that the Tuoba rebels have many tricks and are good at alienating each other. The court must be on guard! Please also ask the angel to report back to the court. Although our army suffered heavy casualties, the court  If something happens, our soldiers can still support them with all their strength. If the imperial court goes to war, our army is willing to attach Ma Ji as a wing of the imperial court, blocking the rebels' retreat from the flanks, in order to destroy them all."

    The imperial envoy finally understood what he was saying - he went round and round, but the governor had one thing in mind: Want the Dongping Army to fight against the rebels?  There's no way around this.  If the imperial court is willing to send troops to serve as the main force, the Dongping Army would be willing to come out to help shout a few words and make some soy sauce.  (To be continued)
