The end is over, and the loser leaves the table.

The person who came stood up helplessly, only one game of chess away from the success of the plan, and he could only shake his head if he was unwilling.

"Excuse me, farewell."

After the last sentence was finished, he just turned around and saw Mo Xiaobai sitting behind.

The four eyes met each other, and one or two breaths staggered.

The dozen or so people who came first left with their fists hugged one after another, and the chess room, which was originally very crowded, suddenly became a little cold.

It wasn't until there was the sound of horses stomping outside that Mo Xiaobai got up and spoke: "I happened to pass through Luoyang today, and I have long heard the name of a strong man, so I came to pay a visit." ”

"By chance?

Ji Meng, who was still sitting on the chessboard, asked with a smile while collecting the chess pieces: "I don't think so, let's just say it, what's the matter with a few people looking for me?" ”

Seeing that Meng didn't follow his words at all, Mo Xiaobai didn't answer, and answered: "I'm not busy talking about the visit, can you let me guess the people who went out just now, their intentions?" ”

"How to guess is your business, and it has nothing to do with me."

"That's right, how I guess, what they think, it has nothing to do with the strong man himself." Mo Xiaobai nodded first, and then his voice changed: "But whether it is me or those people, what I ask for has a personal relationship with the strong man." ”

"What does it matter? Not necessarily. ”

"Not necessarily? I have heard that strong men are very widespread, and they are well-known in Henan, so I only ask one question, can strong men count how many relatives and friends they have? ”

As soon as Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, the young man next to him spoke first: "My eldest brother is a righteous hero, and his friends are all over the world, how can I count this?" ”

"Can't count, can you?"

Asked rhetorically with a smile, Mo Xiaobai saw that Ju Meng didn't say anything, so he continued: "A strong man is a chivalrous man, how many of his friends serve the imperial court?" Or a soldier or a servant? Or a group of ordinary civilians who live on odd jobs? I said thousands, right? ”

"Not bad." Ju Meng nodded, there is nothing bad to admit.

"That's it, right now, the Han Dynasty is suddenly in chaos, and the princes and kings are in turmoil, although it has not yet affected Luoyang, but anyone with insight should know how important Luoyang is."

As Mo Xiaobai spoke, he suddenly threw a handful of chess pieces and landed on the chessboard that had just been cleaned up.

One by one, I made a simple 'map': "Here, Luoyang, west is Hangu Pass." ”

"Let's not think about anything else, just say that the rebels in the chaos have taken Luoyang and are approaching the direction of Hangu Pass, according to your opinion, can the rebels conquer Hangu in a short time?"

Hangu Pass?

As a character who has been in Luoyang for decades, Ju Meng is no stranger to Hangu Pass. Not to mention that the pre-Qin 'one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open', even the current Hangu Pass is not something that can be knocked down by manpower.

Ju Meng thought for a moment and said, "Do you think that the rebels will be blocked in Hangu?" ”

"No, what I want to say is that the major princes seem to be menacing, but it is difficult for them to solve the Liang State first, and then the Liang State, and there are also dangerous passes such as Wuguan and Hangu Pass waiting for them."

Mo Xiaobai waved his hand, and conveniently put two chess pieces in Luoyang: "If Wu Chu and other countries can defeat Liang State with the posture of heavenly soldiers, and then break through Hangu Pass and Wuguan, then it is not said that it must be protected by God." But this is not the case at the moment, even if I speculate with the greatest possibility, it will be difficult for the two kingdoms of Wu and Chu to cross the fortress pass. ”

"What should I do if I can't get over? The best way is to lead the troops to cross the river to the north, all the way to the Hexi Plateau, and then make a detour to besiege Chang'an. Of course, it is also possible to storm Hangu Pass, one day is not enough for two days, and two days is not enough for three days. Both of these methods have a slight possibility of success, but behind the success, there must be a lot of bones. And the prosperity of people in Luoyang is the first to bear the brunt. ”

It is not difficult to imagine that Wu Chu will definitely coerce men into the army in Luoyang at that time, even if it is not a dead soldier who charges ahead, it will also be a laborer who transports grain and grass. At that time, the originally peaceful place in Henan will definitely be ten rooms and nine empty, well, in the name of a strong man, maybe he can still find a general in this group of people. ”

Mo Xiaobai chuckled and said the last sentence, and said angrily: "Today I came, I don't say anything big about the strong man, let alone any bullshit etiquette, I only say one thing, the longer the Central Plains is turbulent, the more people die, and there may be your blood relatives, your best friends, or general friends who have had a meal with you and have only met once." ”

"I'm not alarmist, what I'm saying is something that can be deduced. A strong man is not an ordinary ranger who only knows how to draw a sword, he should know it. ”

Before coming to see Drama Meng, Mo Xiaobai thought of some rhetoric when he was in a hurry, but when he was really sitting here, Mo Xiaobai gave up all of them.

I want to convince someone I have never met before.

The most direct way is to put the powerful relationship in front of him nakedly.

Then, see how the other person reacts.

Mo Xiaobai's idea is very simple, you are known as a hero, can you sit back and watch your relatives and friends suffer, suffer, or even die one day in the future.

And the day ahead may come soon.

If you think it doesn't matter, Mo Xiaobai doesn't need to talk about anything else, after all, it's useless to talk more; But if it feels like it matters, then it's easy to do, because the two sides will have a consensus.

Obviously, the heroic drama Meng in front of him has a little consensus with him Mo Xiaobai.

Ju Meng nodded lightly, and then shook his head again: "I know that what you said may happen, but this matter is not something I can prevent, even if I kill Lao Wu King first, it will be difficult to stop it." ”

"I didn't say that I want you to take the risk of assassinating King Wu, he usually lives in the palace, and when he enters the barracks, he is even more heavily guarded, by the way, the guards seem to be a group of rangers, and they are all he has been caught over the years."

Hearing Mo Xiaobai's words, Ju Meng suddenly sneered: "A group of lawbreakers who tend to be inflammatory, greedy for wealth, are also worthy of being called rangers? ”

"I don't know if it's worthy or not, I just know that the Central Plains, which has finally settled down, can't be tossed around anymore. If the strong man and I are of the same mind, please lend a hand. ”

"Help? That's what you're looking for me? ”

"Yes, there are not many garrisons in Henan, but the Xingyang generation is extremely critical. Taiwei's army is still on the way, and now Xingyang's defense is weak, and it urgently needs help to consolidate the city's defenses. ”

When Mo Xiaobai spoke, he had already gotten up and clenched his fists: "Xingyang must not fall into the hands of the chaotic army, once Xingyang changes hands, the Wu-Chu coalition army is really qualified to launch a long-term attack." ”

"Xingyang, Xingyang."

The corners of Ju Meng's mouth whispered at the corner of this county town that looked inconspicuous in the past, he didn't tell Mo Xiaobai that the group of people before came to the door and was talking about Xingyang!

After being silent for a long time, Ju Mengcai suddenly smiled and said: "Xingyang can't be messed up, I still have many brothers, and I used to live by loading boats on the riverbank." ”
