Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boss Meng, think about it, those people in the border army all rebelled against the Great Wei Dynasty. According to the criminal laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, they were all traitors who killed the nine tribes. Although you take them in and promise not to blame the past, as long as we  The Dongping Army was still in the Wei Dynasty, so they couldn't feel at ease for just one day. What they were afraid of was that after the situation stabilized in the future, the Xianbei people would settle the score with them.

    ¡°But if you vote for the Li Dynasty of the Southern Tang Dynasty, everyone on Li Tang¡¯s side will vote for you with meritorious deeds, and their dark history will be completely washed away, and then they have nothing to worry about.  In the past few days, many people from the border army have also come to me to make friends and find out the news.  "

    Meng Ju was surprised and said: "People from the border army came to you to find out the news?"

    "Haha, our old Wang is also your old teammate, the Governor. Is it strange to know some inside information? Anyway, we will not kill these culprits who come to your door."

    Wang Bei

    Wang Bei  I won't tell you, anyway, it's enough for you to know that they are the people from the border army. They wanted to trick me into getting some inside information back, but after all the talk, I actually heard their thoughts."

    "Beixing, what about yourself? What do you think of this matter?"

    Wang Beixing shook his head and said: "This is a big deal, it's not my place to talk."

    "It's okay. It's just us two brothers here, you can just talk about it."

    Wang Beixing's expression became serious: "Boss, choose a side. This is a matter of life and death for our Dongping Army. I don't dare to talk nonsense! Now, I only know that the Southern Dynasty has given you a title of Minister of War and General of the Northern Campaign.  How can I say that I don¡¯t know anything else about my title?

    Over in the Southern Dynasty, in addition to an edict to appoint an official, did he also promise anything to the lord?  How much military pay and equipment did he promise us?  We now have more than a dozen brigades and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, occupying six towns and eight prefectures and counties in northern Xinjiang, which is such a large territory.  With so many soldiers and horses, after the Southern Dynasty unifies the world in the future, will they be able to accommodate us, or will they reduce the vassalage?  "

    Wang Beixing drank a lot.  But his eyes were very bright, and he didn't look like a drunk person at all: "Lord, you can't be too stubborn. Although we are all Han people with the same roots and species, the Southern Dynasty cannot use us in vain. We are working hard to survive now.  Let's fight for the Southern Dynasty. What if they kick us away when the world is unified, and we end up with nothing but bows and hides?

    ¡°My lord, you are an honest man, and you are not mean-spirited.  You may not have played with those southern barbarians.  So, I think there are some things you'd better tell them clearly now.  We want the Southern Dynasty to ensure that our territory and troops remain immobile. My lord, you will guard the north for generations.  Hereditary succession must be confirmed by an imperial edict issued by their emperor.  "

    Meng Ju frowned and thought for a while, then he said: "Beixing, regarding food, wages and equipment, we are not bordering the Southern Dynasty now, so even if they promise to give it, they can't deliver it? So, it's useless to mention this matter.  carry.

    "But you said that the Southern Dynasty should issue an imperial edict to guarantee our territory and troops. This is somewhat interesting.  .  .  However, affairs in the imperial court have always been complicated, and it was the same in the Wei and Southern Tang Dynasties.  The emperor's words may not be something that cannot be changed by golden words.  Even if Emperor Li Gongwei of the Southern Dynasties really issued an edict to guarantee our territory and troops, so what?  If they want to go back on our words in the future, isn¡¯t it just a matter of one word?  How our relationship with the imperial court will be in the future depends on everyone¡¯s strength at that time.  "

    "Boss, having said that, it is better to have an imperial edict than to talk in vain, right? Even if the Southern Dynasty wants to fall out in the future, it should take into account some face, right?

    Boss, the Southern Dynasty is still asking us to help conquer the world. If they are not even willing to give an imperial edict, then there is a problem with their sincerity.  How can we believe that they will treat us well after they conquer the world in the future?  If Nan Chao is really so insincere, then we might as well just do it.  .  .  "

    Meng Ju interrupted Wang Bei  We have been oppressed by our countrymen for three hundred years, and many people have gone through fire and water, sacrificed their lives, and finally waited for this day. This is the great cause of justice and is unstoppable. If we obstruct the Northern Expedition for our own selfish interests or even help the evil, then a hundred years later, we will be recorded in the history books  It will leave a legacy of infamy and infamy for eternity."

    Meng Ju spoke seriously, and Wang Beixing was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly: "Boss, you underestimate me. I didn't mean to help the Murong family in the war-"?I, Wang Beixing, have no future, and I still understand the principle of a good horse never turning back. We have fallen out with the Xianbei people, and we will definitely not be able to go back to the Wei Dynasty.

    What I mean is that we previously helped Dawei to fight against the demons, then we helped the Murong family fight against Tuoba Xiong, and now we have to help the Southern Dynasty fight against the Murong family - helping this and that, we are the ones who bleed and sweat, why don't we?  What about the thought of fighting a war for yourself?

    We have strong troops and the help of the Ye family - if the Southern Dynasty is sincere, it's okay. If they are not sincere, then we can help each other. After they are exhausted, we will unite with the Ye family.  , sent his troops south, snatched Luo Jing, and asked you, boss, to live like an emperor. We brothers will also become founding fathers. I think you won¡¯t treat us old brothers badly by then, right?  "

    Wang Beixing stared at Meng Ju with bright eyes full of temptation.

    Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Beixing, you drank too much, and you started talking nonsense. Stop talking about this, come, let's drink!"

    "Yes, I drank too much. Come on, boss, have a drink!"

    "Do you want the imperial court to issue you an edict clearly guaranteeing Dongping's territory and power?" Mr. Yi stared at Meng Ju as if he was looking at something weird.

    Meng Ju patiently repeated: "Yes, Mr. Yi, the Dongping Army is willing to raise its army and join the Tang Dynasty anyway, but should the Tang Dynasty also give us an identity or a promise? Our requirements are not high. Please send an edict from your majesty.  We guarantee that after the world is unified in the future, the Tang Dynasty will not touch our territory and ensure the food and salary supplies for our soldiers and horses, and the Dongping Army is willing to protect the Northern Territory for the imperial court, so that the Holy King will not have to worry about looking north."

    "Meng Zhengbei, you are a second-rank official in the Tang Dynasty. Your official position is much greater than that of me, the Little Eagle Marquis. I don't need to explain the truth to you. Isn't it the king's land in the world? There are ministers in the world.  Did you make a condition with the Holy One?"

    Meng Ju curled his lips. What bothered him the most was listening to these bullshit. Isn¡¯t this all the king¡¯s land in the world? If you have the guts, why don¡¯t you go and say this to Murong Po?

    "Mr. Yi, it's true that I am an official of the Tang Dynasty, but the military officers and civilian officials under me are not officials of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I want to do something righteous, how can I do it alone if they don't support such a big thing?  become?"

    "Hmph, Meng Zhengbei, want to hold the imperial court hostage?"

    Meng Ju suppressed his anger: "I don't dare, but all the generals under my command have concerns and beg the court to make it clear!"

    Mr. Yi pursed his lips and felt that this matter was extremely difficult.

    In his heart, he actually admitted that Meng Ju's request was actually very reasonable. Since the Tang Dynasty wanted to recruit the Dongping Army, it had to show some sincerity and guarantee their territory. This was the very minimum condition. Otherwise, what would they do?  Want to work for Datang?

    Now, the Tang Dynasty is in the midst of employing people. If Meng Ju was just a warlord from a small county in a small state, as long as he was willing to uphold justice, the court might be willing to hold his nose and admit his territory. Anyway, after the world is unified, this little territory will  Even a small warlord cannot change the situation.

    But the problem is that Meng Ju is not an ordinary small warlord. The territory he owns is too large. The six towns in northern Xinjiang plus eight northern prefectures and counties account for a quarter of the Northern Wei Dynasty.  The Tang Dynasty aspired to restore Liu Han's territory to unify the world, but if such a large territory was divided by Zhenfan, not to mention that he had no right to agree to this matter, even Master Xiao, the judge of Beifu, did not have the right to agree.

    "Meng Zhengbei, your request is not unreasonable, but I can't agree to what you ask for. Only the Holy Emperor and the imperial court can do it. His Majesty said that I hope you can do it at a convenient time.  When he returns to Beijing, he hopes to meet you. I wonder if you can take time to go to Jiangdu recently to meet with His Majesty? If you have any requests, how about you tell His Majesty in person? "

    Going to Jiangdu?  For a moment, Meng Ju was really excited, thinking about the legendary scenery of Jiangnan, where the scenery is so red and soft, and the beauties are like clouds and thousands of miles of mortal world. Wouldn't it be nice to go there by yourself?

    But after thinking for a while, he still shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Yi, I really want to go to Jiangdu to worship the Holy Spirit, but the current situation means that a round trip will take at least half a year. Where can I go?"

    "Why can't you leave? The last time you left Northern Xinjiang and went south to help the Murong family fight, weren't you gone for more than half a year?"

    "Mr. Yi, this time is different from last time."

    Meng Ju explained: Last time, he dared to go south with confidence because his territory was small. He only had three towns in northern Xinjiang, and his subordinates were all his old subordinates who had been with him for many years. They were united and loyal, so he dared to go south with confidence.

    But now, his territory has expanded to the entire northern Xinjiang and eight prefectures and counties. Not to mention the complicated affairs of the territory, his soldiers and horses have also begun to mix with dragons and snakes.  Not to mention anything else, just the tens of thousands of border troops in JejuThe newly surrendered troops surrendered purely out of fear of their own bravery. These border military attach¨¦s were cunning and unruly in temperament. Which one was easy to get along with?  If he is gone, who can still suppress them?  It's a good thing to go back to Jiangdu for an audience, but maybe when you come back, none of the Dongping troops will have the surname Meng, which will be troublesome.  .  .  )
