Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

When Sima Yi walked out of the big tent, he glanced back at Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and said, "Sima Zhongda looks forward to the day when he will work with General Meng and Commander Meng, and sincerely hopes that day will not be too long."

After Sima Yi left, Meng Tian looked at Meng Yi with a questioning expression.

And Meng Yi didn't let Meng Tian wonder for too long, and said: "Li Shimin wants to use our power to eliminate the Guanzhong family and help him better control the power of the Tang Kingdom. After all, half of the current Tang Kingdom's strength is actually controlled by these people." In the hands of the aristocratic families, once these aristocratic families are gone, the power that Li Shimin can control will definitely be higher than it is now. At that time, because we lost too many troops in the battle with the Guanzhong aristocratic family, it must not be Li Shimin's. opponent, and Li Shimin can also succeed in one battle, and hitting Liangzhou is definitely not an alarmist talk."

At this moment, Meng Tian's complexion changed drastically, and he said: "Second brother, if we recruit these Guanzhong families, what should we do if they treat us like this again?"

Meng Yi said: "Li Shimin is ruthless to the Guanzhong family, but the Guanzhong family is even more ruthless than him. At this time, it is impossible to re-elect a Tang king, so they are targeting us. As for what you said, brother?" It is true that we need to consider the issue, but this issue is not something we can consider, such a major matter must be decided by the king, neither you nor General Wang or General Ma are qualified for this."

Meng Tian nodded, and then Meng Yi wrote a letter with his own hand, which explained in detail the situation of the Guanzhong family and Sima Yi's meaning, and finally in the letter, Meng Yi hoped that Ying Zheng could give an answer as soon as possible.After writing the letter, Meng Yi called in an expert from the Black Ice Platform and asked him to deliver the letter to Ying Zheng as quickly as possible.

And less than a month later, only 20 days later, the order of Yingzheng came to Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and after receiving Yingzheng's decree, Meng Tian and Meng Yi gave Sima Yi another appointment. After coming out, when Sima Yi left the Qin army camp this time, whether it was Sima Yi outside the camp or Meng Tian and Meng Yi in the camp, there were smiles on their faces.

After Sima Yi left, Meng Tian quickly wrote down two orders and handed them over to Meng Yi to let Meng Yi use the black ice platform to pass these two orders to Wang Jian and Ma Chao.

Chapter 743 Chang'an Besieged

In the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin suddenly swept away all the things on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "These unfamiliar wolves of the family, my king treats them so favorably, and let them, the children of the family, live in our Tang Dynasty. Assuming an important position, even tacitly allowing them to use their position to seek personal gain, but the children of these aristocratic families treat me like this, it is really an unforgivable crime."

And Li Ru, whose face was ruined, stood beside Li Shimin, listening to Li Shimin's complaints, but Li Ru didn't say a word, didn't say anything.

Just ten days ago, Li Xiaogong, the general of the Tang Dynasty who was fighting against Meng Tian, ​​was hit hard by Meng Tian. During the battle, Meng Tian pretended to be defeated. It shows that Meng Tian is not a fake retreat, but a real defeat, so Li Xiaogong did not doubt him, and led the army to pursue him on the spot, but in the process of pursuit, another Qin general Wang Jian suddenly led the army Li Xiaogong rushed out from behind, defeating Li Xiaogong's troops, and even Li Xiaogong himself died tragically in the rebellion.

However, after Meng Tian cooperated with Wang Jian to solve Li Xiaogong's troops, he did not drive straight to Chang'an City, but went north with a large army to besiege and kill the Xiliang iron cavalry under the command of Zhang Xian and Zhang Xiu. Bewitched by the family, they didn't know that Li Xiaogong had suffered a disastrous defeat, and that the Qin army was attacking them.When Zhang Xian and Zhang Xiu led the Xiliang iron cavalry under their command to fight the Ma family iron cavalry led by Ma Chao, Meng Tian and Wang Jian's army had already surrounded them.By the time Zhang Xian and Zhang Xiu reacted, it was too late. In the end, Zhang Xian, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others were all killed in battle, and all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the first cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, were wiped out, leaving no one left.

And all of this, Li Shimin only realized it when Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, and Ma Chao led the Qin army to approach Chang'an City, and the culprit of all this was naturally the Guanzhong family.On the territory of the Tang Kingdom, although Li Xiaogong, Zhang Xian and others had the intention to report to Li Shimin in Chang'an City, due to the intentional obstruction of the major families in Guanzhong, these messengers did not see that Chang'an City was resolved by the major families in Guanzhong. .

So when the army of the Qin State came to Chang'an City, and young talents from the Guanzhong family, such as Sima Yi, Sima Lang, and Yang Xiu, all appeared in the army of the Qin State, Li Shimin only realized it later.After Li Shimin learned of all this, he was also furious, and immediately ordered the Xuanjia Army to deal with the sons of the major families in Guanzhong in Chang'an City.But since these Guanzhong aristocratic families have made the choice to join Qin, how can Li Shimin find them.

When Li Shimin went to the mansions of the major families in Guanzhong one by one, those mansions had already been emptied, leaving only some insignificant pawns.And even though he knew that the people from the Guanzhong family who stayed in Chang'an City were small pawns, Li Shimin, who was furious, still poured his anger on these people. All the people from all the Guanzhong families who stayed in Chang'an City were sent by Li Shimin. They were killed by the Xuanjia army, and their heads were hung on the wall of Chang'an City by Li Shimin.

After venting his anger, Li Shimin began to deal with the remaining troops in Chang'an City at this time.Now that the army of the Qin State is approaching Chang'an City, Li Shimin wants to defend Chang'an City, and all he can rely on is the defenders in Chang'an City. They handed it over to these aristocratic families, and now Li Shimin wants to clean up all these people.

Li Shimin was born in a family, so he knows better what choices a child of a family will make when faced with the choices given by the country and the family at the same time.Therefore, in order to defend Chang'an City, Li Shimin must start to clean up these people.And after this cleanup, at least thousands of Chang'an City defenders fell to the ground, and after this incident, the people in the entire Chang'an City became trembling and did not dare to go out.

After purging the army, Li Shimin ordered several generals under his command to forcibly recruit young and strong men around the city. With the addition of the [-] Tang army that Li Shimin brought back under his control after purging the children of the aristocratic family, Li Shimin regained a little confidence.After all, there are a hundred thousand soldiers of the Qin army gathered outside Chang'an City, and they are led by top commanders like Meng Tian and Wang Jian. Li Shimin's confidence is actually not very high.

In the great battle in Guanzhong, Li Xiaogong, Duguxin, Zhang Xian, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others all died in the battle, and Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Yang Xiu and others from the Guanzhong family all threw themselves into the camp of the Qin army. At this time, Li Shimin's only available people are Li Guang, Li Ling, Li Xin, Li Siye, Li Tingzhi, Hou Junji, Zhai Changsun and other generals. As for the civil servants, there are only Li Longji, Li Ru, Hou Jing, Jia Xu, etc. Moreover, Jia Xu may not be able to advise Li Shimin, so Li Shimin's situation in Chang'an City is actually not very good at this time.

However, Li Shimin is confident that with the strength of Chang'an City, although there are only [-] Tang troops guarding Chang'an City at this time, it is enough to stop the [-] Qin troops.

In order to closely guard against the Qin army, Li Shimin ordered Li Guang, Li Xin, Li Siye, and Li Tingzhi, the four generals of the Li family, to fall in shifts, making sure that there must be at least one of these four on the walls of Chang'an City. exist.

After the betrayal of the Guanzhong family, Li Shimin already had some distrust of other generals, but fortunately, because the Xuanjia Army was a powerful army built by Li Shimin himself, Zhai Changsun and Hou Junji were both Li Shimin's confidantes, so Li Shimin Because of this, there was no suspicion of Xuanjia Army.

And Li Shimin in Chang'an City began to eliminate the opposition voices in Chang'an City, and began to prepare for the battle with all his strength. Naturally, Meng Tian and others outside Chang'an City would not make Li Shimin so happy. In fact, Meng Tian personally led a total of 10 Qin soldiers. After coming to the city of Chang'an, Meng Tian ordered the soldiers of the Qin army under his command to launch a fierce attack on the city of Chang'an just after resting for two days.

However, since Li Shimin's men were all good generals, the city of Chang'an was even stronger, with tall walls, and Meng Tian's first round of attack could not even climb to the top of the city.

However, Meng Tian was not discouraged after the first siege failed. Instead, he divided his army into several batches, and only dispatched one group for each siege. Thus, he fought for four or five days under the city of Chang'an.And in order to be able to capture the city of Chang'an, Meng Tian did not hesitate to do other things, such as poisoning the city of Chang'an, confusing the morale of the Tang army, etc. Meng Tian did everything, but was forcibly suppressed by Li Shimin.

And after besieging Chang'an City for a month, Meng Tian also lost all patience, and found Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Yang Xiu in his camp.

After Sima Yi and the others came before Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian and Ma Chao who had been ordered by Meng Tian to discuss matters also arrived, and after the six of them took their seats one after another, Meng Tian looked straight at Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Yang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: " Three, now we are suffering repeated setbacks in this Chang'an city. I know that you still have backhands in Chang'an city. Now I hope you can hand over your strength. Even if all the Sili are in the hands of my Daqin, it is meaningless, so I hope you can help my army break through the city of Chang'an, and after I succeed, I will definitely ask the king for your credit."

Sima Yi and Sima Lang looked at each other, and just as Sima Lang was about to speak out, Yang Xiu said, "General Meng, you are joking, our family has all the people in Chang'an City. After being slaughtered by that Li Shimin, how can there be any backup?"

Meng Tian looked at Yang Xiu, and suddenly laughed, and then Sima Yi and the three suddenly felt that the air in the big tent was a little colder, and then Sima Yi and the other three heard Meng Tian's slightly murderous voice: "This I hope that the three of you can think it over before speaking."

Chapter 744 Exchange

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard Meng Tian's murderous intentions without any concealment.It is true that their Guanzhong aristocratic family has left some backhands in Chang'an City, and these backhands cannot but be used by Qin State, but it all depends on what price Qin State is willing to pay.Otherwise, the Guanzhong family can't use their own power to open the way for Qin for no reason.

However, what Sima Yi is more concerned about now is how Meng Tian learned that these Guanzhong aristocratic families still have backup in Chang'an City. Logically speaking, the manpower they arranged in Chang'an City should be well hidden. With their aristocratic families To cover up, Meng Tian should not have received this news anyway.

At this time, Sima Yi rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw a figure beside the big tent, a slightly thin figure.Seeing that figure, Sima Yi was startled.

It seems that I have underestimated the Black Ice Terrace. The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi are called the two pillars of civil and military affairs of the Qin State. If Meng Tian can serve as the general of the Qin State, Meng Yi's ability is not bad. The Black Ice Platform, which Yi directly subordinates to, is the number one spy organization in the Qin State and is strongly supported by Ying Zheng.Fortunately, I used to think that the black ice platform should be useless after arriving in the Guanzhong area, but now it seems that the strength of the black ice platform is much greater than what I imagined.

Sima Yi rolled his eyes, looked at Meng Tian who looked cold and stern, and then looked at Yang Xiu and his elder brother Sima Lang who were beside him with extremely ugly faces. After thinking for a while, Sima Yi said: "General Meng, I Let’s get straight to the point. Our family does have some power in Chang’an City, but this is our last power. If we want to use this last power, it would be a bit of a shame if the Qin State didn’t pay any price. I can't justify it."

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Meng Tian was ecstatic in his heart, but of course he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.Meng Yi told him that the Guanzhong Aristocratic Family still had some strength in Chang'an City, and using these powers was enough to break through Chang'an City at a certain time.Originally, Meng Tian still had doubts about Meng Yi's words. After all, Li Shimin knew about the fact that Li Shimin beheaded all the children of the Guanzhong family in Chang'an City. What strength can be left behind.

But out of trust in Meng Yi, Meng Tian cheated Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Yang Xiu today, but he didn't expect that Meng Tian really cheated him out of something.

At this time, Meng Tian also had some other thoughts about these Guanzhong aristocratic families.Under Li Shimin's purge, the Guanzhong family can still retain some power in Chang'an City. It seems that these Guanzhong families are quite capable.But now these Guanzhong aristocratic families are willing to help Da Qin, which is a powerful help, but if one day these Guanzhong aristocratic families betray Qin as they betrayed Tang today, it will be very detrimental to Qin.In the future, I have to find a way to make the king pay attention to some of these Guanzhong families, and finally be able to suppress all of these Guanzhong families, so that they can't cause any trouble.

At this time, after hearing Sima Yi's words, Meng Tian was still thinking about what conditions to offer to these Guanzhong families, and Ma Chao had never paid much attention to these matters. Ma Mengqi's favorite thing in Xiliang was fighting on the battlefield. Kill, rather than intrigue under the battlefield.And Wang Jian is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. Although Wang Jian has his own views on this matter, but now Meng Tian is the general of the Qin State, and he is the general of the [-] Qin troops who are currently besieging Chang'an City. Naturally, Meng Tian was required to consider and make a decision, so if Wang Jian made the decision on behalf of Meng Tian, ​​it would be a little overstepping.

So at this time, Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Yang Xiu in the tent kept silent because of Meng Tian's aura, while Meng Tian was thinking about the price to be paid to the family in the pass, Ma Chao was wandering, and Wang Jian closed his eyes and remained silent.For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent became a little cold.

But this cold and silent atmosphere was soon interrupted, a thin figure suddenly walked in outside the tent, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, it was Meng Yi, the commander of the Black Ice Terrace of Qin State.

Meng Yi walked up to Meng Tian's side, and whispered to Meng Tian for a while, then Meng Tian's expression changed, and finally Meng Tian said to Sima Yi and the other three under Meng Yi's firm expression: "If the three of you can help me The army captured Chang'an City. I, Meng Tian, ​​would like to recommend Yang Biao, Patriarch of the Yang Family, as our Great Qin Taiwei, and Sima Fang, Patriarch of the Sima Family, as our Great Qin Sikong. Of course, if we can capture Chang'an City at this time, if we If we can’t take down Chang’an City, all of this will naturally be impossible.”

When Sima Yi heard the generous conditions offered by Meng Tian, ​​he was also a little enthusiastic.Although the Sima family and the Yang family are not short of positions like Sangong, Meng Tian's ability to offer such a condition is enough to show that Meng Tian values ​​​​them, or that they are behind them. Strength matters.

Of course, this also shows Meng Tian's status in front of Ying Zheng. Sima Yi and others naturally knew about Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, and knew how strong Ying Zheng's control over Qin was. Sima Yi and the three promised that they could recommend Ying Zheng to Yang Biao and Sima Fang to serve as Qin Guo Taiwei and Sikong respectively after breaking through Chang'an City.

Of course, this was under the condition that they were able to help Meng Tian capture Chang'an City, if they couldn't capture Chang'an City, everything they said in those few days would be nonsense.

While Sima Yi was making eye contact with Sima Lang, Yang Xiu suddenly said, "Okay, General Meng, the Guanzhong family has agreed to this condition, and I also hope that General Meng will not forget today's promise."

Meng Tian got up and said: "I, Meng Yi, will never forget it, but I also hope that the three of you will not hide your secrets in the next few days. After all, the sooner we capture Chang'an City, the sooner we capture it, the better we will be."

Sima Yi and Sima Lang saw that Yang Xiu had already made a decision for the Guanzhong family, and their eyes were sullen. Originally, according to Sima Yi's thinking, today's decision was too important. He was going to go back and ask Sima Fang and him for instructions. Yang Biao's, but I didn't expect Yang Xiu to agree to it like this, and he didn't discuss with him or Sima Lang at all. It can be said that the decision Yang Xiu made was his personal decision, but due to Yang Xiu's Identity, the decision that Yang Xiu said was the decision of the Guanzhong family.And it cannot be changed.

This is also one of the reasons why Sima Yi doesn't like Yang Xiu. Sima Yi does not deny that Yang Xiu is talented, but Yang Xiu is too arrogant and has always looked down on him and Sima Lang. It can be seen from today's actions.Although Yang Xiu's decision seemed to Sima Yi, he probably made the same decision after he went back to ask Sima Fang and Yang Biao for instructions.But Sima Yi could see that Yang Xiu's move was due to his performance in front of Meng Tian.

What Yang Xiu wanted was nothing more than to let Meng Tian and Meng Yi see that the current Guanzhong family is actually headed by the Yang family, thinking that the Yang family will seek greater benefits in Qin in the future.

However, since Yang Xiu has made a decision, it is hard for Sima Yi and Sima Lang to say anything more. After all, what they do in private is one thing. and.

But when they got up to salute Meng Tian, ​​Sima Yi and Sima Lang still kept a slight distance from Yang Xiu, but Meng Tian, ​​a warrior, didn't notice this detail.But Meng Tian didn't notice it, but Meng Yi did.

Meng Yi, who was dressed thinly, looked at Sima Yi, Sima Lang, and Yang Xiu, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

Meng Tian can see the pros and cons of this family in Guanzhong, so how could Meng Yi, who is the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, not see it, and Meng Yi saw it earlier and farther than Meng Tian.But now seeing the relationship between Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Yang Xiu, Meng Yi felt that he had already thought about how to deal with these deep-rooted families after Qin became the ruler of Sili.

Chapter 745 Chang'an Fire

After Meng Tian led [-] Qin soldiers to besiege Chang'an City for two months, and at the same time, [-] Qin troops stormed Chang'an City for two months. It was the scarred Chang'an city wall, and said to Yang Xiu who was beside him: "Yang Dezu, I just want to see the effect tonight, I hope you Guanzhong families will not let me and the king down."

Wearing a scholar's robe, Yang Xiu, who was particularly conspicuous among the soldiers of the Qin army, raised his head high and said: "General Meng, don't worry, our family values ​​credibility the most, since we have agreed to the general, we will not break our promise. "

Meng Tian glanced at Yang Xiu, said coldly: "I hope so." After saying this, Meng Tian ignored the arrogant Yang Xiu, turned around and left.If these Guanzhong aristocratic families can really do what they promised, then there must be a big battle tonight, and I have to go down and prepare.

When Yang Xiu saw Meng Tian turn around and leave, he also didn't stay on the battlefield for long.Tonight is the time when the city of Chang'an was broken, and it is also the time when Yang Xiu became famous all over the world. There are more and more young talents in the world today, such as Pang Tong and Fazheng from the Yan Kingdom, Zhuge Liang from the Chu Kingdom, Han Xin from the Shu Kingdom, and him. After tonight, Yang Xiu will be as famous as these people in the world, and even surpass them.
