Former Qin Fengyun

The next day, Wang Meng led the army to leave Chang'an and went straight to Luoyang, the battleground of the military.Because of the sudden incident, the Luoyang guard general Wuwei Wang Murongzhu, the governor of Luozhou, was not aware of it.

When the Qin army marched ten miles to Luoyang, Wang Meng said to Deng Qiang: "General Deng, I order you to lead five thousand cavalry to Luoyang quickly and surround it."

Deng Qiang saluted and said yes.

An hour later, Deng Qiang led his troops to the city of Luoyang.The generals defending the city were surprised when they saw the Qin army falling from the sky, and then sent someone to inform Murong Zhu quickly while shooting arrows.

The brave and fearless Deng Qiang took the lead and rushed to the front, so no one in the Qin army retreated.At this time, Murong Zhu, who came in a hurry, saw that something was wrong, so he ordered people to rush out of the city to report to the court.But Deng Qiang and Qin Jun were as indestructible as a rock and could not rush out.

In this way, half an hour later, Wang Meng and his army arrived.Deng Qiang, covered in blood, came to him, saluted and said, "I want to report to the prince, the general is willing to lead troops to break the city."

Wang Meng shook his head and said to Liang Cheng: "General Liang, lead troops to surround Luoyang."

Liang Cheng saluted and said yes to go down.

Deng Qiang asked in bewilderment, "Why did the prince do this?"

Wang Meng replied: "Luoyang is an important city, and its walls are tall and strong. If there is a strong attack, there will be countless casualties. Why not outsmart it?"

Although Deng Qiang wanted to ask about the method, he stopped talking when he saw the crowd around him.

In the Golden Palace of Ye City in the Kingdom of Yan, a reporter walked into the Golden Palace and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother. King Qin has led troops to surround Luoyang."

All the ministers were shocked.

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun immediately asked anxiously: "How many Qin soldiers did you bring?"

The reporter replied: "Thirty thousand."

Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Shangyong Wang Murong Ping smiled and said: "A mere [-] will take Luoyang from me?"

At this moment, Murong Zang, King of Le'an, the Great General of Wei, went out to salute and said, "I would like to share the worries of your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun said to herself: "Murong's comments are reasonable, Qin's army is only [-], so there is no need to worry about it." Therefore, she nodded and said: "I order you to lead [-] troops to relieve the crisis in Luoyang."

Murong Zang said to himself: "In this battle, the Yan army has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers alone. What's more, although Wang Meng is a general of the auxiliary country, he is a civil servant after all. After the victory in this battle, he can use this skill to gain military power. Maybe, like Taiyuan King Murong Ke, he will monopolize the power of the court." Therefore, he bowed and retreated ecstatically.

Wang Meng, who had been waiting for the news, saw Liang Cheng coming in, saluted and said, "My lord, the Kingdom of Yan has sent Murong Zang, King of Le'an, with [-] troops, and they have arrived in Xingyang."

Wang Meng squinted his eyes and said: "It seems that Yan Guo didn't take us seriously, but this is very good, you quickly bring [-] elites, and make a surprise attack with light clothes."

Liang Cheng saluted and said yes to go down.

Murong Zang, who had passed Xingyang and came to Shimen, saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to rest.Murong Zang, who was tired from running all the way, got off his horse and sat down in a shaded place.

At this time, Deputy General Liu came over with the water bottle and handed it to Murong Zang respectfully.The thirsty Murong Zang took the water bottle and drank it in big gulps.

Then Deputy General Liu tried to ask: "My lord, Luoyang is approaching. I don't know how to solve this siege?"

Murong Zang said disdainfully: "How can the Qin army rats have seen so many generals? It is expected that you will flee before you reach Luoyang."

Vice General Liu nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Liang Cheng led the [-] elite Qin army and suddenly appeared in front of the Yan army.Because Yan Jun is resting, he is very relaxed.Although there were a large number of people, they did not take any advantage.Murong Zang saw that the defeat had been decided, so he fled back to Xingyang with the rest of the Yan army.The Qin army annihilated more than [-] people from the Yan army, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and their morale was high.

Knowing the news of the defeat of Yan's reinforcements, the guard general Luozhou Governor Wuwei Wang Murongzhu was restless and fidgeting.At this time, a soldier came in with a carved feather arrow with a letter in it, saluted and said, "My lord."

Murong Zhu took the arrow and took down the letter, opened it and read it.After a while, Murong Zhu's face was very ugly after reading the letter.The soldiers couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, this letter?"

Murong Zhu sighed softly, and said, "In troubled times, life-saving is the most important thing."

Half an hour later, the gates of Luoyang opened wide.Murong Zhu led all the soldiers in the city to surrender to the Qin army without armor or weapons.But what they didn't expect was that Wang Meng led [-] Qin troops, all wearing helmets and armor and holding weapons, standing on both sides energetically, showing the prestige of the Qin State and accepting the surrender of the Yan army.

At the same time, General Jianwei Liang Chengji, who was stationed in Xingyang, called for battle for two days, but the Yan army did not send a single soldier.A lieutenant saluted and said, "General, how about attacking this city?"

However, Liang Cheng said: "Sun Tzu once said that attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. Besides, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the troops. If you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out. In this way, you should quickly investigate the situation of the Yan army in the city."

The deputy general saluted and said yes.

On the outskirts of Xingyang, the deputy general came to a teahouse with several elite soldiers in plain clothes and walked in.There were a few guests sitting sparsely in the teahouse. The lieutenant ordered a pot of good tea and a few snacks, paying attention to everyone's words and deeds.

At this time, an old begging woman walked in from the door.The deputy general saw that he was not only naked, but also skinny, so he took a plate of snacks and walked to the old woman with compassion, and said softly, "Old man, here you are."

The old lady looked at the plate of dim sum and said, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

The lieutenant smiled slightly and said, "Take it."

The old lady immediately thanked Dade and saluted with great gratitude and said: "Thank you, great benefactor!" Then she took the refreshments.

The lieutenant asked again: "Why did the children in the family abandon you?"

The old woman sighed and said, "The three sons born to the old woman all joined the army."

Seeing that there was an opportunity to be found, the deputy general hurriedly said: "It is an honor to enlist in the army." He didn't finish.

The old woman said angrily: "But the imperial court has not paid the military salary for a long time, and there is no man in the family to cultivate, and I am old and weak, so I have to beg for a living."

As soon as the words fell, a white-haired old man in the teahouse said: "The old man has a son, and the situation is the same. He will not pay the army, but he will fight against the Qin army! Alas!"

The deputy general was overjoyed after hearing this, and then said to the old woman: "I have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

The old woman quickly thanked her again.

The deputy general who returned to the camp told Liang Cheng what he knew, and Liang Cheng smiled overjoyed.

The next day, Liang Cheng led his troops to the city of Xingyang again to call for battle.After a long time, there was still no answer.Liang Cheng laughed wildly and said, "I'm a coward. Brothers, go back and drink!" Murong Zhu, who was standing on the city, saw that the Qin army retreated without any formation at all.He said with a smile: "Finally waited for the time to relax. Come, come out of the city and destroy the Qin army immediately!"

After a while, the neatly dressed Yan army rushed out of the city.Seeing this, Qin Jun immediately threw the scattered silver taels from his waist to the ground, and then ran away.

When Yan Jun, who hadn't paid his military salary for a long time, saw the silver, his eyes lit up immediately, and he bent down to pick it up.Because of the lack of money and the large number of people, many soldiers even fought violently, and the scene was chaotic.Murong Zhu, who was sitting on the horse, shouted loudly: "Stop! Everyone stop!" But no one listened.

At this moment, Liang Cheng led Qin Jun to rush over.The two sides immediately fell into a melee.Because the Yan army who had just picked up money and had no fighting spirit just now was the opponent of the Qin army, so they retreated steadily.Seeing that the situation was over, Murong Zhu hurriedly fled to Xinle City with the remaining soldiers.

After several fights, the Qin army wiped out nearly 2 Yan troops and captured thousands of people. The Qin army was greatly encouraged.

Deng Qiang saluted and said: "Your Majesty, our army is going strong now, why don't we capture a few more cities and show off the prestige of our Qin Kingdom."

Liang Cheng also nodded and said, "The last general agrees with General Deng's words."

But Wang Meng shook his head and said, "No."

The two asked in unison, "Why?"

Wang Meng said: "Before I left, the Heavenly King once told me not to be greedy for merit and eager to rush forward. Besides, we have few soldiers, how can we destroy the Yan of Diguang?"

When the two heard this, they didn't dare to say much.

Wang Meng continued: "General Liang, you lead troops to garrison Luoyang and Xingyang. General Deng leads troops to guard Jinyong, an important town in the northwest of Luoyang."

The two saluted and said yes.

The next day, Wang Meng led the army back to Chang'an.Sitting on the horse, Wang Meng was extremely happy, because the victory in this battle laid a solid foundation for Qin to annex Yan.Not only can he show his ambitions, but he can also fulfill his long-cherished wish that Fu Jian has dreamed of for a long time.

The sun shone on everyone's face and body in Qin Jun, making people feel extremely warm.The fire of hope in my heart is burning stronger and stronger, illuminating the beauty in the distance.

In stark contrast, in Ye City of Yan State, from the king to the ministers.After Murong Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, told the whole story, the Empress Dowager Kezuhun was so angry that she slapped the table and reprimanded loudly: "The one hundred thousand army can't match the [-] Qin army, and they returned in a big defeat! Come on, army stick!" One hundred times behind closed doors!"

Murong Zhu didn't dare to say more, thanked him and saluted.

At this time, Shen Shao, the prime minister of the left, went out to salute and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager. In my opinion, Qin sent troops this time not to seize the ceded land, but to destroy Dayan. Therefore, more troops should be stationed in Jinyang. in case for need."

Grand Tutor Shangyong Wang Murong Ping dismissed his lips in disdain, but Queen Mother Ke Zuhun also said without concern: "Aiqing is too worried." Then she got up and took the emperor Murong Xi away.Shen Shao shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

In November, Fu Jian called Wang Meng into the palace.

When Wang Meng came to the Taiji Hall, he saw that Fu Jian was alone, so he saluted and asked, "I don't know what the king of heaven is planning?"

Fu Jian said: "This year's autumn harvest is quite abundant and there is plenty of food and grass, so I want to kill the swallows. I don't know if I love you, what do you think?"

Wang Meng said with a smile; "Since it is a matter of course, I am willing to do it for the king of heaven."

Fu Jian said happily: "Very good. The widow will personally go to the expedition." He didn't finish.

But Wang Meng saluted and said: "Heavenly King, this trip is extremely dangerous, not to mention that this battle will take a long time, so food and grass are very important. Why don't the Heavenly King personally arrange the transportation to calm the army's mind?"

Knowing that Wang Meng was afraid of making mistakes, Fu Jian nodded in relief.

Then Wang Meng said: "Yan has a vast territory, I hope that Murong Ling, the son of the champion general, will be the guide of the army."

Fu Jian nodded and said: "Order him to join the army and go out with the army."

Wang Meng saluted with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Heavenly King."

The next day, Fu Jian informed the ministers of the news and ordered to leave tomorrow.

After the court was over, Murong Chui called his eldest son, Murong Ling, to him, and said earnestly, "Ling'er, you need to be extremely careful in this expedition."

Murong Ling, who was pure and kind, tried to ask: "Father, will Yan Kingdom be destroyed?"

For a moment, Murong Chui didn't know how to reply.The country of Yan is his homeland, but the relatives there put themselves to death and then quickly.

Seeing his father's complex expression and frowning, Murong Ling regretted that he asked a question that displeased his father, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he said: "Father, let your son go back to the house first."

Murong Chui nodded, looking at Murong Ling's leaving back, he couldn't help sighing softly.At this time, a servant girl came in, saluted and said, "General, the prince is here to visit."

Murong Chui hastily came to the gate of the residence and greeted him personally.After the two saluted each other, Murong Chui invited Wang Meng into the hall and ordered people to prepare wine and food.

There are two reasons why he treats Wang Meng so respectfully.First, Wang Meng has a high position and authority, and is deeply trusted by Fu Jian.Second, Murong Ling will work in Wang Meng's tent tomorrow, hoping to treat his son well.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Meng said: "Now we are far away, why give it to me so that I can see things and think about people?"

Murong Chui was astonished, and said to himself: "I have heard that Wang Meng is a clean and honest man, and he doesn't love money. Now? He came here by himself, and he has no valuable treasures, not to mention that he thinks about others because of seeing things." So he took off the golden knife at his waist and put it on Putting it up with both hands, he said: "This golden knife has never left the body, and now it is given to the prince to relieve his worries."

Wang Meng took it with both hands, and said with a smile; "Thank you, General." Then he continued: "I heard that the general has a confidant named Jin Xi, who has many years of experience in the army. Why don't you let him go with the army, and he can also take care of your son Wuyu?" ?”

Murong Chui nodded happily and said: "Just as the prince said, I hope the prince will take good care of the child."

Wang Meng nodded with a smile, then glanced outside, and said, "It's getting dark, please don't bother me. Farewell."

Murong Chui personally sent Wang Meng out of the residence.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Meng touched the golden knife in his hand with satisfaction.

In the early morning of the next day, Fu Jian personally led all the civil and military officials to send the army to Bashang.

Wang Meng said to Fu Jian: "I have already sent it to Bashang. The king of heaven can't send it off again, but I am afraid."

Fu Jian nodded.At this time, the palace man offered the tray with both hands.Fu Jian and Wang Meng picked up their wine glasses respectively, and Fu Jian said, "I only hope that your trip will go smoothly and you will be successful."

Wang Meng said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Heavenly King."

Then the two drank together.Then Wang Meng got back on his horse and clasped his fists in salute to Fu Jian before leading his troops away.Looking at the army, Fu Jian said to himself, "I hope God will bless you, and this trip will go smoothly. Otherwise, Qin will perish."
