"Meng Haigong's letter is here, I don't know what he wants to do?" Li Baiyao presented Meng Haigong's letter to Zhang Xuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xuan skimmed the letter and sneered at Fang Xuanling: "Meng Haigong is willing to give up the title of emperor, just to be the Taishou of Huiji County, and to be demoted from the emperor to the Taishou all of a sudden, his request is too low!" ”

Fang Xuanling also smiled: "I knew that there was today, it was better to be a Taishou of Donghai County back then, go in a big circle and return to the original point, why bother?" ”

"I'm afraid he won't even be able to go back to the original point this time, and I won't spare him!"

"His Highness simply promised him to disband the army and find an excuse to kill him in the future!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head resolutely, "In this way, what's the difference between me and Wang Shichong, he included Zhu Wei, do you want me to accept Meng Haigong?" There is no need to persuade me on this matter. ”

Zhang Xuan then Li Baiyao said: "Just grieve Mr. for a few days!" ”

Zhang Xuan shouted, "Someone!" ”

Several pro-soldiers appeared at the door of the tent, and Zhang Xuan pointed at Li Baiyao, "Take this person down and imprison him, and wait for Meng Haigong to be killed!" ”

Li Baiyao bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan, and then followed his own soldiers down.

Zhang Xuan picked up the pen and wrote three words on Meng Haigong's letter, 'Death is forgivable! ’

He immediately asked Li Baiyao's entourage to bring the letter back to Meng Haigong.

Fang Xuanling was really worried, he couldn't help but say anymore: "Your Highness, Meng Haigong can die, but his soldiers still spare them!" ”

Before, Zhang Xuan slaughtered the 50,000 army of Meng Xuanling, which really made Fang Xuanling feel worried, 50,000 lives! Just killed them alive, it was really against the peace of heaven, and he really didn't want Zhang Xuan to continue killing, so he just persuaded Zhang Xuan to accept Meng Haigong's surrender and disband the soldiers.

But now it seems that Zhang Xuan is determined to fight the war to the end, and Fang Xuanling is afraid that another massacre is coming.

Zhang Xuan understood Fang Xuanling's thoughts, and said lightly: "The reason why I didn't let go of Meng Xuanling's army was because their sins were too deep, and immortality was not enough to atone for their sins, although Meng Haigong's army also had the crime of slaughtering the warriors, but it was a little better than Meng Xuanling's army, I would naturally screen and treat it, kill those who should be killed, let them go, and serve hard labor for minor crimes, if the military advisor is not at ease, then I will hand over the matter of dealing with prisoners of war to the military advisor." ”

Fang Xuanling stood up and saluted, "I only implore Your Highness not to give the order to kill first." ”

"The military advisor seems to have something to say?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Meng Haigong's lair is in Huiji County, how can he fight to the death with His Highness in Wu County?" Wechen thought he would withdraw from Kure. ”

Jang Hyun laughed, "Okay! If it is said by the military advisor, then I will promise not to issue an order to kill! ”

.........

In the palace of Wu County, Li Baiyao's entourage brought back two pieces of news to Meng Haigong, one was that Li Baiyao was imprisoned by the order of King Qi and would be convicted of being a thief, and the other news was Zhang Xuan's reply, 'Death is forgivable!\' The three big characters were written on the cover of the letter, which was particularly dazzling, and the civil and military ministers in the palace talked a lot, and they didn't understand why Zhang Xuan wrote these three words, could it be that the saint asked Zhang Xuan for forgiveness in the letter?

Meng Haigong stood for a long time, and suddenly jumped like thunder, pointing in the direction of the Sui army camp and scolding: "Pifu Zhang Xuan, shameless face, do you think I, Meng Haigong, am really afraid of you?" I, Meng Haigong, dominate the world, why not be afraid of death, if you want to fight, I will fight to the death with you! ”

"Zhang Xuan, don't die well, the sky thunders and splits ......" Meng Haigong scolded for half an hour before he flicked his sleeves and went back to the palace angrily.

Meng Haigong's palace is a palace built by the queen of Chen at the foot of Huqiu Mountain in Wu County, called Gusu Palace, after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, this palace became the official school of Suzhou, and later Shen Faxing moved it into the city as a whole, renovated a new one, now it is the palace of Meng Haigong, after Meng Haigong ascended the throne, he chose seventy-two show girls, named seventy-two concubines, and selected hundreds of palace maids, and accompanied him to drink and have fun all day long.

He also knew that his emperor would not be long in office, so he prostituted himself in the palace day and night, desperately indulged himself, and enjoyed the taste of the emperor, until Zhang Xuan's army broke through Wuxi County and slaughtered the 50,000 army of Meng Hao, Meng Haigong finally woke up from his drunken dream and fell into endless fear.

Meng Haigong scolded in the hall timidly, pretending to show his courage in front of the hundred officials, but when he returned to the inner palace, he was completely exposed, his heart was panicked and confused, he didn't know what to do, and he paced back and forth in the inner hall with his hands, looking very restless.

He has had nightmares every night for the past few days, dreaming that he was stripped naked and thrown to a group of butchers, and the butchers chopped him up and sold his meat, a penny a piece, and the whole city came to buy his meat, which scared him from the dream, although it was just a nightmare, but he knew that this dream was likely to happen, didn't Meng Qi die like this?

At this time, the two favorite concubines persuaded with wine: "The two concubines accompany Your Majesty to drink, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows. ”

They wanted to think that the Meng Hai Guild would readily agree, and then hugged them to drink and have fun together, just as usual, but today they stepped on Meng Haigong's sore feet, and everyone else could escape, but he Meng Haigong wanted to wait for death, Meng Haigong was furious, pulled out his sword, stabbed the two concubines to death with a sword, and shouted: "It's you sluts who hurt me!" ”

Meng Haigong rushed towards the concubines and palace maids around him with his sword, and the women screamed in fright, stumbling and fleeing for their lives.

At this time, his son Meng Yi came to inquire about the situation, and happened to meet his father committing murder, he hugged his father's arm from behind, "Daddy, calm down!" ”

The soldiers also rushed forward and snatched the sword in Meng Haigong's hand, Meng Haigong sat on the ground and looked up to the sky and mourned, "The sky is going to kill me, where will I, Meng Haigong, go?" ”

Meng Yi persuaded: "Father, don't worry, we still have 70,000 troops, the number of troops is more than the Sui army, we can fight to the death with the Sui army, even if we are defeated, we can retreat to Huiji County, and even we can continue to the south, retreat to Yongjia County, Jian'an County, there is no one over there at all, the Sui army cannot be supplied, and it will not continue to catch up, where will there be no way out?" ”

His son's words suddenly made Meng Haigong have a glimmer of hope in his heart, he chose Huiji County as his lair at the beginning, considering that there was still a way out in the south, but now he forgot it.

Meng Haigong hurriedly got up and ordered his own soldiers: "Hurry up and invite Master Mao to see me!" ”

Not long after, Mao Wenshen hurried to Meng Haigong's imperial study and bowed: "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

Meng Haigong waved his hand, "I don't want to be this emperor anymore, don't call me Your Majesty anymore, it's the same as before." ”

"Obey the order!"

Meng Haigong hurriedly pointed to the map of Jiangnan in front of him and said, "I decided to fight Zhang Xuan to the death, where does the military advisor think I should set up the battlefield?" ”

Mao Wenshen glanced at it, only to see Meng Yi winking at him, and he immediately understood that Meng Haigong didn't really want to fight, it was estimated that he would fight if he could win, and run away if he couldn't win, just like when he was in Donghai County.

Mao Wen pondered for a moment and pointed to Fuyang County on the map north of the Qiantang River: "I feel that I have to leave a way back for myself, and the king can retreat to the area of Fuyang County to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army." ”

"Why?" Meng Haigong asked.

"King, Fuyang County is close to the Qiantang River, we can first send an army to build a pontoon bridge on the Qiantang River, if we win, needless to say, if we lose, the king can quickly retreat south from the pontoon bridge, and then burn the pontoon bridge and intercept the Sui army north of the Qiantang River."

After all, Meng Haigong was also experienced in a hundred battles, he immediately discovered the inappropriateness of this strategy, and hesitated: "Most of our soldiers are rabble, the cohesion of the military spirit is too weak, once the south retreats, the military spirit will be out of control, if the Sui cavalry catches up, it will be impossible to let them fight in formation." ”

Mao Wenshen smiled bitterly and said, "The king doesn't really think that we can defeat the Sui army if we gather a large army!" ”

Meng Haigong was silent, he understood what Mao Wenshen meant, in fact, he used tens of thousands of troops to block the Sui army to cover his escape, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, but he had to accept the reality, the two armies were similar in number, and his army was by no means the opponent of the Sui army, there was no doubt about it.

Meng Haigong sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late to build a temporary pontoon bridge." ”

"King, there is no perfect strategy in the world, we try to make up for the shortcomings, for example, we can use the golden cicada to get out of the shell, send an army to attack the Sui camp pretending to be a suspicious soldier, and cover the king's retreat overnight, as for the pontoon bridge, in fact, you don't need to build it first, as long as you prepare it first, you can build it in the shortest possible time, when we attack Shen Faxing's army, didn't we use this strategy?"

Meng Haigong suddenly remembered that when they attacked Shen Faxing's army before, they sent soldiers to buckle the heads and tails of fifty small boats with iron rings in advance, and moored them on the shore in a string, and then cut the rope on the westernmost part of the fleet, and the fleet was washed across the river by the current, and a pontoon bridge was immediately formed, not even half a pillar of incense was used, so that they killed Shen Faxing's army by surprise.

Meng Haigong slapped his head, "Don't say I almost forgot, okay!" According to the strategy of the military advisor, we first sent a suspicious army to confuse the Sui army. ”

Meng Haigong turned back to Meng Yi and said, "Go and gather the army, we will retreat overnight tonight!" (To be continued.) )
