    Subconsciously, Meng Ju had always felt that there was no doubt whether he would submit to the Southern Dynasty. As for the reason - as a Han from later generations with strong nationalist sentiments, it would take more to submit to an orthodox Han court.  Reason?

    He wholeheartedly wanted to defect to Southern Tang, but Southern Tang¡¯s attitude really broke Meng Ju¡¯s heart.

    Meng Ju felt that his attitude towards the Southern Tang Dynasty was already very correct. He had no ambition to dominate the world, nor did he have any intention to interfere in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. He only wanted to be a border guard for the Central Plains in the border areas far away from the center.  As a small town feudal clan, this is a matter of self-interest and benefiting others. This is really not too much.  Isn¡¯t this how frontier generals such as Yang Family General and Zhe Family General exist?

    What he didn¡¯t expect was that Datang wouldn¡¯t even agree to such conditions. If Ye Jianxin hadn¡¯t awakened him, Meng Ju would still be in a daze, not realizing that there was a deeper murderous intention hidden in Datang¡¯s harsh terms.

    Meng Ju felt sad and angry in his heart: He was willing to shrink his power back to northern Xinjiang, why was the Tang Dynasty still unwilling to let him go, not even his last base?

    If you are smart enough to hand over all your territory and troops as soon as possible, leave Northern Xinjiang and the military world completely, and go to Jiangdu to live in peace and quiet, you should be able to spend this life safely.

    But if he is unwilling to hand over military power and insists on staying in northern Xinjiang - Meng Ju's heart keeps sinking. He doesn't need to be reminded by others, he knows that the situation is not good.  The imperial court that dominates the world has too many ways to deal with a frontier general who has no one in the court.  It doesn't even require the emperor's instructions, just rely on the fucking inertia of the civil service system.  Just doing business can make you feel happy.

    Meng Ju still remembers the time when he first became the governor of Dongping Town.  Taking the emperor's imperial edict to the Ministry of War to replenish equipment, I had to nod and bow down to a small chief of the Arsenal Department, but the other party ignored him. In the end, Murong Yi had to confront him before he was willing to buy it.

    After surrendering to the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was Murong Yi who came forward to speak for him?

    Thinking of the bleak prospect, Meng Ju felt his heart was blocked and he was helpless.

    Seeing Meng Ju¡¯s expression changing, Ye Jianxin smiled slightly.  He took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve and placed it quietly on the table.

    "Master, what is this?"

    "Before Ye Mou set out, the imperial court entrusted Ye Mou with the imperial edict sent to you by Ye Mou - oh, I'm talking about the Wei Dynasty court. The imperial court hopes that you, Taibao, can quickly rectify your troops and go south to reinforce the imperial court and repel the Southern Army."

    After glancing at the imperial edict, Meng Ju laughed dumbly: "Master, are you kidding me? Our Dongping Army has fallen out with the Murong family. You should know this. Less than a few months ago, we had  I was beaten to death, sir. Now you want me to send troops to help the imperial court. How is this possible?"

    "Meng Taibao, why is this impossible? It doesn't matter if we have fought a war. As long as the interests are there, even the enemies who killed our father can cooperate. In the past, the Southern Dynasty hated our Ye family with gnashing of teeth, but now they still want to appease us?"

    Ye Jian said earnestly: "Taobao. Shouldn't you read the imperial edict first before speaking?"

    Meng Ju hesitated for a moment, then reached out and opened the imperial edict.

    This imperial edict was written in a very simple and clear way, without any profound vocabulary or allusions, so Meng Ju could understand it.  The imperial edict stated that Meng Taibao, Marquis of Chicheng, had made special contributions to the Wei Dynasty. The imperial court decided to confer him the title of Northern King. The imperial court allowed Northern King Meng Ju to command 200,000 troops. The prefectures, counties, and troops under the jurisdiction of the Dongping Army should also be under the control of the Northern Palace.  The imperial court is willing to provide Bei Wangfu with military pay of 150,000 men and enough battle armor to equip five brigades every year.

    The imperial court guaranteed that the title of Northern King would be hereditary and would not be replaced. At the same time, the imperial court also guaranteed that Meng Ju¡¯s previous mistakes and crimes would not be held accountable by the imperial court. To ensure this, the Murong family gave the Meng Ju family a gold medal to avoid death.  .

    "Except for the crimes of treason and regicide, with this death-free gold medal, the Beiwang family can be pardoned for all crimes."

    "I pray that the King of the North will serve the country loyally and tide over the national crisis with the Great Wei. The North and the North will live up to the Great Wei, and the Great Wei will also live up to the King of the North. The Beiwang family will be one with the country for thousands of generations. The royal family of the Great Wei is willing to work with the Beiwang family from generation to generation.  We protect each other, share weal and woe, and share blessings and misfortunes.

    The descendants of the Murong family must not violate this agreement.  If you violate the covenant, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and you will die without a burial!  "

    After reading this imperial edict, Meng Ju sighed.  He closed the imperial edict, pondered for a moment, and said: "Looking at the wording and handwriting of this imperial edict, it is very simple, but was it drafted by His Highness himself?"

    "Exactly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Meng Taibao was a warrior and the words he used were too difficult to read, so he was afraid that the Crown Prince would have difficulty reading them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drafted the manuscript himself and transcribed it himself."

    "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is considerate Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"How is the situation?  "

    Knowing the purpose of Meng Ju's question, Ye Jianxin nodded and said: "Today, in order to deal with the Southern Army, the imperial court has established a South Expedition Camp. All the elite soldiers and horses of the Jinwu Guards and the Western Expedition Army have been incorporated into the South Expedition Camp. Your Majesty has personally appointed the Commander-in-Chief of the South Expedition Camp.  , His Royal Highness the Prince serves as the central officer and marching manager of the marching camp to the south, and is in charge of all military matters related to the marching camp. The marching camp has been prepared, all troops and horses have been mobilized, and the march is about to begin."

    Meng Ju understood Ye Jianxin's hint: Murong Yi was able to regain control of the military, which showed that his status as prince had been consolidated, and it also showed that the imperial edict formulated by him was effective and not just a piece of paper.

    Meng Ju sighed: "If the court had had such an attitude earlier, many things would not have happened. We would not have reached such a situation."

    Although he said this, Meng Ju also admitted in his heart that no matter what, compared to the harsh terms of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the attitude of the Northern Wei Dynasty was really much more polite and generous.  He turned his head sideways and looked at Ye Jianxin suspiciously: "But Mr. Ye, are you not coming here to be a lobbyist for the Wei Dynasty?"

    Ye Jianxin smiled faintly, and there was unspeakable sarcasm in the smile.

    "Meng Taibao, you misunderstood. Ye is just sending a message to your two families. As for how to make a decision, that is up to you, Taibao. Ye will not be troublesome."

    "Then, sir. What are your Ye family's plans? Do you plan to surrender to the Southern Dynasty or join the Wei Dynasty? - This matter. It is presumptuous for the general to ask. If it is not convenient for me to reveal it,  You don¡¯t have to say it.¡±

    Ye Jianxin said cheerfully: "There is nothing to say. How our Ye family makes a decision depends on you, Taibao."

    "Look at me? I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I can't understand what I'm saying."

    "Taibao, it seems you haven't realized this yet. The Wei army is tired of veterans. The country's power is declining. If you, Taibao, don't join the war, they won't be able to withstand the attack of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now, the only hope for the Wei Dynasty to survive and continue is  Just to protect you.

    Taibao, you are powerful in terms of military force. You are a super-powerful general comparable to the founding Tianwu. Not only that, you have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Northern Xinjiang under your command.  He is also the most powerful soldier in the world.  If your new force goes into battle, it will be a decisive force that can turn the tide of the world's war.  If you join the Wei side, not to mention repelling the Southern Army, it will be more than enough to defeat the Yangtze River and flatten Jiangdu.

    So, now, Meng Taibao, you are the key figure in determining the fate of the Wei Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty.  Taibao, if you decide to help Wei.  Then the Wei Dynasty still has a glimmer of vitality, and things can still be done. Our Ye family is also willing to join hands with you, and we will work together to resist the Southern Army, but what if.  .  .  "

    Ye Jianxin paused for a moment.  He said: "If, Meng Taibao, you have made up your mind to defect to the Southern Dynasty, then God has abandoned the Wei Dynasty. The overthrow of the country cannot be restored by human power. Ye must also prepare for the continuation of the family. So, what about our Ye family?"  The choice depends on your decision, Taibao."

    Meng Ju nodded, he understood that what Ye Jianxin did was just to see how he acted and then follow the crowd.

    No matter how arrogant Ye Jianxin is and how powerful the Ye family is, in the face of this majestic trend sweeping the world, personal efforts are really insignificant, and everyone can only go with the flow in the end.

    "Meng Taibao, both the Southern Tang and the Wei have offered conditions. I want to know, what are your plans?"

    After pondering for a long time, Meng Ju sighed: "Master, of course I know. In comparison, the treatment in Da Wei is better, and they are more sincere. But I I should still defect to the Southern Dynasty.  "

    Ye Jianxin didn't look surprised as he had already prepared Meng Ju's answer. He just asked: "Why?"

    "There are many reasonsbut the most important thing is because, after all, I am also a Han Chinese."

    Meng Ju originally thought that Ye Jianxin would continue to question him, but the other party's reaction was just a faint "Oh" and said: "Is that so? Then I understand."

    This time, it was Meng Ju who was surprised: "Mr. Ye, this reasondon't you find it strange?"

    "Ye feels strange, but that's not important. Ye just needs to know the result, that's enough. As for the reason, it's not important."

    Ye Jianxin acted swiftly and neatly, which surprised Meng Ju and also made him relieved.  He was worried before that Ye Jianxin would try to persuade him to change his mind.

    "My lord, do you mean that the Ye family is also going to defect to the Southern Dynasty?"

    Ye Jianxin said calmly: "Ye has just said that if things cannot be done, the Southern Dynasty is still a retreat. Now, since even Meng Taibao has decided to surrender to the South, thenThere is no hope for Wei anymore, and we have no intention of accompanying the Xianbei people to be buried together.  "

    Meng Ju said sincerely: "Since the Lord has made a decision, it is inconvenient for Meng to talk too much. I will be grateful to the Lord for taking care of me several times, and I will always keep this kindness in my heart. Whether in the Wei Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the Dongping Army  I am willing to help each other and support each other with your government. Over there, if my father-in-law encounters any difficulties, you may wish to send someone to report it, and Meng may be able to help."

    Hearing Meng Ju's show of goodwill, Ye Jianxin smiled. For some reason, in Meng Ju's eyes, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to have a touch of mockery.

    "Ye thanked Meng Taibao for his kindness. However, when we get there, you and I are both old people from the North. We shouldn't get too close to each other on the surface, otherwise the Southern Tang court will be suspicious. Besides,  , our Ye family also has a way to protect ourselves, and we have a way to gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasties, so Taibao, you don¡¯t have to worry about us."

    Ye Jianxin politely declined the offer, and Meng Ju could only sigh: "Then, I can only wish you good luck."

    "Let's talk to each other. Ye also wishes you, Taibao, smooth sailing and all the best in your stay in the Southern Dynasties."

    At this point, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the conversation has come to an end.  After drinking all the tea in the cup, Ye Jianxin stood up and left.  Meng Ju sent him out, but when he was at the door, Ye Jianxin stopped and said, "By the way, Taibao, there is one more thing I almost forgot: My daughter wants to see you, Taibao. Is it convenient?"

    Meng Ju was shocked: "Is it Miss Ye? Is she here too?"

    "Well, she's waiting outside."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Meng Ju walked out of the door quickly.  I saw Ye Canan at first sight.  The girl he longed for was standing under the eaves, looking at the falling snow in trance.

    Compared with when we met above, Ye Canaan has grown taller and looks taller.  She wore a snow-colored cloak and a fur scarf around her neck. The snow-white fur lined her fair face, making her small face shine.  The girl's faint eyebrows.  Her clear and charming eyes, petite and straight nose, and flawless oval face are so dazzlingly beautiful that people dare not look directly at her.  Snowflakes were falling densely, and the girl's slender body stood in the snow.  Ethereal and lonely, like a sad song.

    "Taobao, my daughter is over there. You guys can talk first. Ye has something else to do, so I'll leave for now."

    Ye Jianxin dropped a sentence.  He turned around and walked away.  At this time, Meng Ju couldn't care about him anymore. He strode towards Ye Canan. The rapid footsteps alarmed the other party. She turned around and saw Meng Ju too.

    Meng Ju stopped and bowed politely: "Miss Ye, long time no see. How are you lately?"

    Seeing him, a smile appeared on Ye Canan's face. She did not kneel down and say blessings in return as Meng Ju expected. She just nodded reservedly and smiled: "Yes, it's been a long time, Xiao Meng.  How are you?"

    In an instant, it was like a hundred thousand thunders were ringing in Meng Ju's ears at the same time. His face suddenly turned pale, he was unsteady on his feet, he staggered back two steps, and said in silence: "You are - Ye - the governor of the town.  ?¡±

    Ye Canan looked at him with a smile, a calm and calm smile. This kind of elegance and composure, this kind of confidence and charm, that kind of heroic spirit that is difficult to express in words, that kind of bright and vivid vitality - this is not Ye Zijun's smile.  This is Ye Canan's unique smile.

    No need for words, no need to speak, a smile is enough.  This smile, haunted by dreams, is hidden deep in Meng Ju's heart, making it impossible for him to forget it in this life, and he will never be able to admit his mistake: it is unique between heaven and earth. This is Ye Jianan's unique smile, and it is definitely not hidden in the boudoir.  Ye Zijun can dress it up.

    "Governor Ye, youhave you finally woken up?"

    The huge ecstasy instantly overwhelmed Meng Ju. For a moment, he wanted to say a lot to Ye Canaan: the lonely days he spent after leaving her, the infinite affection and yearning, the days and nights he missed her.  It was night, but for some reason, there seemed to be something blocked in his throat. There were obviously thousands of words in his chest, but he couldn't say a word. The only thing he could say was the most plain words.

    "Yes, I woke up I slept for a long time in this dream."

    Ye Canan stared at Meng Ju, looking at his chiseled, weather-beaten face, looking at his weathered eyes, looking at the scattered white hair on his bun, her eyes also showed sentimentality, she said softly  : "Xiao Meng, it's been hard on you for a person to come here all these years. You've aged a lot."

    As if someone had opened a certain valve in his heart, Meng Ju closed his eyes tightly, but his tears were still uncontrollable.??Rolling and flowing.  Not wanting Ye Canan to see his tears, Meng Ju walked out from under the eaves and came to the snowy courtyard. He raised his head and let the snowflakes fall on his face, feeling the coldness and purity, letting his excitement slow down.  Slow reply.

    At some point, Ye Canan also walked out of the eaves and walked to his side.  Under the dim light of the lanterns in the courtyard and in the heavy snow, her eyes were shining with crystal light.

    They looked at each other, staring at each other's faces, looking into each other's eyes, with burning emotions flowing in their hearts, but they didn't know how to express the thousands of words.  The courtyard was silent except for the slight rustle of snowflakes falling to the ground.

    At this moment, they are connected.

    The two walked side by side and walked slowly in the snow.  At this moment, Meng Ju was no longer the invincible general who shocked the world, nor was he the great warlord of the Northern Kingdom with a large number of troops. At this moment, it was as if time had gone back and he had become the young and impulsive young officer in Northern Xinjiang.  .

    He rambled on and told Ye Canan what happened after the two separated, and what happened in Dongping and Beijiang after Ye Canan left.  He told the story of how he pursued and killed Shen Tujue several times to avenge Ye Canaan.  In the end, he was killed; it also tells how Tuoba Xiong rebelled, and was finally attacked by Meng Ju and the Murong family, who completely annihilated him. Tuoba Xiong was finally defeated and died - what Meng Ju told,  In fact, Ye Canaan had already heard it from her father, but she still listened very attentively because this was the story of the struggle of the man she loved.  She was interested in everything about Meng Ju.

    Ye Jianan sighed softly: "I really didn't expect that in the past few years, Da Wei has turned upside down. I also didn't expect that Xiao Meng, you have grown up so fast, far beyond my expectations."

    She glanced at him with a sly smile in her eyes: "Prince Taibao, Marquis of Chicheng, Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Yushi of Zuodu and Governor of Northern Xinjiang? What a high official. Xiao Meng, you are so capable, why did you do it back then?  I never imagined that you would be where you are today."

    She jumped a step away and said in a rough voice: "Disrespect, Your Excellency the Governor, I will lower you to Ye Jianan, the Governor of Dongping Lingwei Town. See Your Excellency the Crown Prince Taibao."

    She bent down and bowed like a military attache. Meng Ju waved his hands swaggeringly and said pretentiously: "Ahem, who is the young lady coming down below? Forget it, I'll excuse you. Sit down!"

    ¡°Ahem, this little lady is here today.  What good things did you bring to pay tribute to me?  If there's nothing good, why don't you just stay with me?  .  .  hey-hey!  "

    "Your Excellency, the Crown Prince and Taibao, the general came here today with nothing else. He only brought a fine five-flowered fur whip, specially designed to treat someone's itchy skin. Xiao Meng, you are shaking things up. You dare to tease me! See if I don't take care of you.  You! Come and see the whip!"

    "Oh, Lord Governor, spare your life, spare your life! I don't dare anymore"

    Ye Jianan was about to fight, and Meng Ju hurriedly ran away. The two of them chased each other around the flower garden in the courtyard, making two circles. They both stopped and laughed uncontrollably.

    "Governor, do you know? The enemies who harmed you, Shen Tujue and Tuoba Xiong, are both dead."

    "I know, I know everything you do." Ye Canan said seriously: "Thank you, Xiao Meng, thank you for everything you have done for me."

    Looking at Ye Jianan¡¯s beautiful and charming face, Meng Ju¡¯s chest suddenly surged with heat: ¡°Governor, I have always kept in mind what you said back then.¡±

    Ye Canaan frowned slightly: "What did I say?"

    "You said, I am not from a noble family. I must at least be a senior official guarding one side. Otherwise, I really have no hope at all." Meng Ju mustered up his courage. He looked directly at Ye Canaan and said:  "Governor, do I meet your expectations now? Do I still have some hope?"

    "ah!"

    Unexpectedly, Meng Ju suddenly mentioned the past relationship. Ye Jianan's face turned red and he lightly covered his mouth.  She took a step back, but a look of sadness flashed across her face, and she remained silent.

    "Governor?"

    "Xiao Meng," Ye Jianan raised her head, looked at Meng Ju, and said softly: "Now, you have done a good job, much better than what I expected you to do. Your governor,  Proud of you, forever proud."

    "Then, can we still be together?"

    Ye Canan stared deeply at Meng Ju and didn't speak for a long time.  Her eyes were affectionate and focused, but Meng Ju's heart kept sinking, and an ominous premonition had enveloped him.

    The last ray of sunset has disappeared in the horizon, and the sky has darkened.  In the dense flying snow, Meng Ju could no longer see Ye Canan's face clearly, he could only see her tearful eyes.  In a trance, a slight voice penetrated the dense crowd.The curtain of snow reached his ears.

    "sorry."

    Meng Ju's body shook violently as if struck by thunder.  But immediately, he stood firm again, his eyes showing determination and confidence: he was no longer the weak and helpless young officer in Northern Xinjiang back then. Now he was a giant who could decide the fate of the world. He was the most powerful person in the world.  One of the powerful people.

    No matter what kind of obstacles stand between Ye Canan and himself, whether he is a human or a god, Meng Ju is confident: with the hundreds of knives in his hand and the tens of thousands of powerful soldiers following him,  Enough to knock this barrier into pieces!

    He stood two steps forward, approached Ye Canaan, and said in a deep voice: "Governor, tell me, why? Who is blocking us?"

    Being forced by the broad and burly body of the man in front of him, breathing in his manly breath, feeling his fiery enthusiasm, and the powerful and firm confidence, Ye Canan was intoxicated.

    this moment.  Only then did she truly wake up to the young officer who had taken shelter under her wings.  Now he has grown into an upright man, a real man who is not afraid of any storm.

    Unable to withstand Meng Ju's hot gaze, she took a step back, lowered her head, and said slightly panicked: "Xiao Meng Before I woke up, my father had already made an engagement for me In order to  For the survival of our Ye family, I must fulfill my contractI'm sorry."

    "An engagement? An engagement with the Murong family?" Meng Ju snorted: "Whose engagement is it with? Murong Yi or Murong Nan? Don't worry. Tell me and I will be responsible for terminating the contract for you."

    Meng Ju was really not afraid of the Murong family.  He has this confidence because at this critical moment, the Murong family is determined not to offend him. They cannot afford to fight on two fronts.

    Ye Jianan shook her head feebly, and she said softly: "It's not the Murong familyit's the emperor of the Southern Dynasties. Emperor Renxing."

    Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he lost his voice: "Li Gongwei of the Southern Tang Dynasty? This how is it possible?"

    "The power of the Wei Dynasty was declining, and it was difficult to recover. My father had to prepare for the worst. At this time, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent people to recruit us. They guaranteed that our treatment of the Ye family would be no less than that of the Wei Dynasty, and the conditions  It was Emperor Renxing who made me his queen."

    Meng Ju asked in a low voice: "Can this matter be changed? I am also highly regarded in the Southern Tang Dynasty. I am here to submit a letter to the Southern Tang court. Can this engagement be changed?"

    Ye Canaan slowly shook his head.  Tears flashed in her eyes: "It's impossible If our Ye family reneges on the engagement once the engagement has been made, it will anger the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Besides, it is impossible for my father to agree to break the contract. Our Ye family entered the Southern Tang Dynasty and was nowhere to be seen.  Dear, there are many enemies everywhere, but I married Li Gongwei and became the queen. Our Ye family has a little reliance and support there, and the people of the clan will not be bullied. If I don¡¯t marry Li Gongwei, the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty will not rest assured.  The Ye family, the family can¡¯t gain a foothold there.¡±

    Meng Ju stood blankly in the snow. He heard every word Ye Canan said, but he could not react or make a sound.  In his ears, he could only hear the sound of the cold wind, and every gust of wind seemed to be a mockery of fate.

    He originally thought that he was the most brave general in the world, bravely championed the three armies, and had tens of thousands of soldiers. He had enough strength. The tragedy of being unable to protect his beloved woman would never happen to him again.  But what I didn't expect was that when things came to pass, I was still the same as before, unable to stop things from happening.

    Ye Jianan is right. In order for the Ye family to gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasties, it was inevitable for Ye Jianan to marry Emperor Renxing.  The only way to stop this marriage is to pull out all the stops and prevent the Ye family from joining the Southern Dynasties.

    As soon as this idea came out of his mind, Meng Ju was stunned. Ye Jianxin's words rang in his ears:

    "How our Ye family makes a decision depends on you, Taibao."

    "If you, Taibao, decide to help the Wei Dynasty, then the Wei Dynasty will still have a glimmer of hope. There is still something that can be done. Our Ye family is also willing to do our best to join hands with you to resist the Southern Army."

    Meng Ju took a deep breath, and then he understood the deep meaning of Ye Jianxin's words.

    If you want to prevent Ye Jianan from marrying Emperor Renxing of the Southern Dynasty, you must prevent the Ye family from defecting to the Southern Dynasty;

    If you want to prevent the Ye family from joining the Southern Dynasties, you must let the Ye family see that there is still hope for victory in the Northern Wei Dynasty.  And what is the hope of victory?  Ye Jianxin has made it clear enough that the Dongping Army must join the Northern Wei camp, form an alliance with the Murong family, Ye family and other forces, and join forces with the Xianbei people to resist the Southern Army.

    " Moreover, in comparison, the conditions in the Wei Dynasty were much better than those in the Southern Tang Dynasty.  Da Wei is willing to make himself king, and Da Wei is willing to guarantee his troops, horses and territory.  If he chooses to join forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty, he will be able to continue to serve as the King of Northern Xinjiang for Weifu's own use.He holds a large number of troops, is in charge of one side, looks down upon the Central Plains, is free, and does not need to look at anyone's face.

    But if he chooses the Southern Tang Dynasty, he will have no choice but to hand over his military power and territory and live in Jiangdu.  He could only live under the strict supervision of the Southern Court and the Northern Mansion, and he did not dare to do anything to arouse the suspicion and suspicion of the court.  Even when facing a small officer from the Jiangdu prefecture's yamen, he could only swallow his anger, put on a smile, and carefully avoid him, until he spent his life in depression decades later, and finally died in Jiangdu.  As for his subordinates who are as close as brothers, they will also be dispatched by the Tang army and driven to various battlefields, serving as vanguards and death squads in various battles until the last drop of blood is shed.

    And, there is Ye Canaan, the woman he loves most in his life.  She will be brought into the palace by the Southern Tang royal family.  She and I may never see each other again in this life.  Even if there is still a chance to meet in this life.  But - at that time, she was already the queen of her mother's world, with incomparable honor and splendor, while she was just an idle wanderer in Jiangdu.

    Thinking of this, anger burst out in Meng Ju's eyes: If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you!  Since Emperor Renxing wants to seize my territory, my troops, and my wife, don't blame me for being ruthless.  For your own future.  Also for the sake of his beloved woman - Meng Ju clenched his fists fiercely: "The overall situation is still uncertain. Li Gongwei, you want to use all your strength now, but you are too happy too soon! As long as our army joins the war, we can fight back and help."  Weiit's still not too late!"

    But a thought made Meng Ju panic: What will be the consequences of doing this?

    A bottomless abyss slowly opened in front of Meng Ju. The abyss was the color of blood and fire.  Scenes of war and chaos emerged from the abyss.  There were cities burning in flames, countless bones exposed in the wilderness, thousands of miles of desolate land, soldiers massacring the city with bloody blades, surging demon cavalry rushing through the side walls, Mr. Yi's sometimes serious and sometimes humorous words.  Face, the father and son of the Qin family who died unexpectedly.  .  .

    Meng Ju closed his eyes in pain: The north and the south have been separated for three hundred years. The two countries have been fighting endlessly, bleeding and drifting, and the people have suffered for a long time.  Now, with great difficulty, a holy king and wise master appeared in the Southern Tang Dynasty.  The country's strength is strong and the dawn of world unification has emerged. This is an opportunity obtained by millions of people with lofty ideals and countless heroes and lofty ideals who sacrifice their lives. It is a grand event that the Han people all over the world are eagerly looking forward to.  Could it be.  Do you want to personally kill the hope of unifying the world and restoring peace for your own selfish interests?

    That.  How much more blood will be shed and how many people will die?

    Having missed this opportunity for reunification, how long will this separation between north and south continue?

    The ancients said that every five hundred years, a king will rise and his existence will be interrupted.  If Emperor Li Gongwei of the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated by himself, could the civilization of the Central Plains still persist until the next five hundred years, waiting for the next king to come to the world?

    The North and the South were in confrontation, and the war continued. The Central Plains had exhausted its vitality in the civil war year after year, until a new demon overlord emerged on the northern grasslands and went south to destroy the Central Plains civilization in one fell swoop - the brightest flowers in the Chinese civilization.  , was destroyed before it even had time to bloom.

    The destiny of China is endless.

    Thinking of the terrifying possibility, Meng Ju trembled like a cold: As a Han, for his own selfish interests, he took the initiative to join forces with foreign soldiers and horses, served the foreign regime, massacred the Han army, blocked the great cause of reunification, and dragged the Central Plains into war and war.  The abyss of blood - what face do I have to face the world and face history?

    By committing such a crime, you will become a sinner of the nation through the ages.  Compared with myself, I'm afraid Wu Sangui and Shi Jingtang's crimes can only be regarded as insignificant, right?

    In an instant, countless contradictory thoughts rushed through Meng Ju's mind, and he had a splitting headache.

    Seeing Meng Ju¡¯s uncertain expression, Ye Jianan sighed in his heart.  She looked at Meng Ju, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart, and she called out in a low voice: "Xiao Meng!"

    Before Meng Ju could react, she took a few steps forward and leaned on his chest. Meng Ju was stunned and immediately hugged her hard and hugged her shoulders.  Whether it was because of the cold or the excitement, he could feel the girl's body trembling slightly in his arms. Feeling her frail body and smelling her fragrant body breath, he felt a surge of pity in his heart.

    The two hugged each other tightly.  In Meng Ju's ear, Ye Canan whispered: "Xiao Meng, my father asked me to persuade you not to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but I don't want to do this. Since a man has set his ambition, he should be determined and perseverant. How can you  What if you waver and give up your ideals for a woman?

    If that happens, you won¡¯t be the Xiao Meng I like, and I don¡¯t want you to be like this.

    I came here just to see you.  Seeing that you are fine makes me feel at ease.  Don't worry, I'm fine too.  "

    In MengjuIn the middle of the night, Ye Canan raised her head, tears already filled her eyes. She choked and said, "I'm leaving. Xiao Meng, you have to take care of yourself and do what you should do. Don't worry about me."  .¡±

    After saying that, she pushed hard, broke away from Meng Ju's arm, turned around and ran out.

    Meng Ju was pushed back a step. He stood there blankly, watching Ye Canan's silhouette disappear into the vast snow. He wanted to catch up, but his feet were as heavy as lead and he could not take a step forward.  .

    The cold wind is blowing, and the bare branches of the trees in the garden are swaying, making a rustling sound. Snowflakes are flying, and the ice is bone-chilling.

    Meng Ju raised his head and looked up at the snowy distance, looking at the dark night sky with not even a single star in sight, feeling painful in his heart.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    It was early morning on February 1, the third year of Tianyou¡¯s reign, on the outskirts of Anping City, at the Anping Daying campus.

    The cold wind howled, the morning fog dispersed, and the soldiers and horses standing on the wall like a forest slowly emerged in the morning light. One after another, the soldiers and horses with bright armors paved the entire school ground densely.  In the morning light, wherever you looked, you could see swords, armor, waving flags, and the dark faces of the soldiers everywhere.

    Today, Governor Meng of Northern Xinjiang will personally inspect the troops. He will announce his position to the world and issue a message of conquest.

    Meng Ju walked through the passage in the middle of the military formation. The soldiers and officers were also looking at their commander eagerly.  This is the most powerful force in the world. They have fought thousands of miles and experienced hundreds of battles to condense their murderous aura into the sky. Just arraying in formation can put heavy pressure on people.

    The generals who came from all over the world stood in the first row under the reviewing stand.  When passing by them, Meng Ju slowed down and looked at them one by one: Commander Lu Liulou, Commander Xiao Heng, Commander Wang Beixing, Commander Jiang Hai, Commander Mi Huan, Commander Li Chimei, Commander Li Baozi  Dujiang, Yi Xiaodao, Brigadier Wang Hu, Brigadier Qi Peng, and Brigadier Xu Haojie.  .  .  These subordinates followed him in the south and north, and were invincible, giving the Dongping Army a great reputation.

    The generals he noticed saluted Meng Ju one after another, and Meng Ju also returned the salute solemnly, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.  He passed through the human wall of generals and walked to the steps of the high general platform. He was about to go up, but someone stopped him.

    "Lord!" Mr. Wen had been waiting for Meng Ju in front of the steps of the general platform. I don't know whether he was frightened by the power of tens of thousands of soldiers or because of nervousness. His face looked very pale: "The student feels that what happened today is still  It¡¯s a bit hasty, we¡¯d better discuss it in detail before making a decision, right?¡±

    Meng Ju shook his head and said calmly: "Sir, I have made up my mind and I will not change it." He nodded apologetically, walked up the stairs quickly, and heard Mr. Wen sighing slightly from behind him.

    Standing in front of the high platform, looking at the endless sea-like phalanx below, and feeling the awe-inspiring power, Meng Ju calmed down and looked down at the troops.  The momentum and power of facing a 30,000-strong army in formation cannot be imagined without personal experience. Even Meng Ju, who has been in the military for a long time and is used to seeing the world, can't help but feel dizzy.

    He calmed down, drew out the long sword from his waist, swung it suddenly, and pointed it towards the sky. Immediately, 30,000 soldiers raised their weapons in unison. The countless densely packed swords were like a forest suddenly appearing on the plains.  An overwhelming sound came towards Meng Ju: "Great Governor, you are mighty!"

    "We, the Dongping Army, are mighty!"

    Amid the thunderous sound, Meng Ju raised his head, looked up at the blue sky, and prayed silently: If there is really a God above the blue sky, please give me enlightenment now.

    Who can tell me whether my choice is wrong or right?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Fighting Armor" is over.

    The serialization of "Doujia" started in 2009 and has come to an end. Pig knows that this ending should not be considered perfect. This is due to Pig's bad habit, which always likes to put the protagonist in the most intense conflicts and choices.  , but what I didn¡¯t expect was that the pit was dug so deep that even the pig himself fell into it and was unable to extricate itself.

    Between the righteousness of family and country and personal feelings, Zhu asked himself, if he were in Meng Ju's situation, he really wouldn't know how to choose.  Perhaps some smart readers can help Meng Ju find a better way out that has the best of both worlds?

    Zhu also hopes that Meng Juneng and Xiao Zizi can have a better and more perfect destination.  The subsequent stories of Meng Ju and Ye Canan will appear in Zhu's other books.

    In the past few years, due to the slow speed of pigs, Doukai's performance has been average. Fortunately, everyone has continued to support and did not dislike this stupid and slow pig. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone and hope that everyone can continue to support  Pig.
