Chapter 254: Stealing chickens won't lose a bag of rice
Meng Qinzhong sighed: "Regularly speaking, although we have lost more than 50,000 purple dou, for us, it is just a drop in the ox. No, no, it should be the hair on one leg of the ox, but it is not hurt. We still have an absolute advantage. But the problem is that the Qingliang Hou is really terrible. With just 20,000 to 30,000 gold dou, it seems that there is a purple dou, and we killed more than 50,000 purple dou. This is fine, the most terrifying thing is that you should also know that according to the living
The monks who came back said that when the two soldiers handed over, they suddenly lost their magic power and became the same as mortals. At first, they thought they were poisoned, but later, Qingliang Hou stopped chasing him, and their magic power was immediately restored. This Qingliang Hou was so weird that he had the power of ghosts and gods. If we continue like this, let alone 70,000 Zi Dou, we just took our seven sects of 700,000 Zi Dou, which was not enough for Qingliang Hou to eat alone. How could it be so fart for this battle? Wouldn't you just go to die?"
Peng Yiqiang said: "We are worried that this is exactly the case! This Qingliang Hou is really terrible. The emperor shouldn't have cut off his title. People eat, drink, gamble, and fish and meat. What's the matter with him? No matter how he tossed, it was just a small city. He even prostitution all the women in Qingliang City, and it would not affect his becoming the emperor! I opposed it at that time. Now I thought that they were snakes, pulled out their teeth, and thought that they wouldn't bite people. As a result, I found out that they were dragons and did not need teeth. They had the ability to call the wind and rain. If it weren't for Qingliang Hou, we would have eliminated the three Marquis long ago. The world is peaceful, which makes us nervous now."
Meng Qinzhong sighed: "What's the use of saying these now? There are all kinds of medicines in this world, but there is no medicine for regret."
Peng Yiqiang said: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Meng Qinzhong knew that the five of them were brothers and sisters on the surface, but in fact they had their own ulterior motives. It was the interests that tied them together, and they did not dare to speak too bluntly. He said, "Tell me out your ideas and I will consider them again. After all, you are not my subordinates."
Peng Yiqiang said: "I used to feel that it was safe and solid to stay in the capital. Now I am not at all at ease and feel safe. I feel like I will be caught in the urn of Qingliang Hou at any time. Although millions of monks are guarding him, Qingliang Hou is not a human being. He can turn monks into mortals. Isn't that a fool to defend the capital?"
The others nodded.
Wu Siyuan said: "Actually, the last emperor's will is revealed to the world now, but we all knew at that time that Jiang Lifu was missing. We all thought he was dead, so we supported Jiang Licun to take office. For us, it is the same for everyone to be emperor. Anyway, this is the world of the Jiang family, and we can't be emperors. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lifu appears again now, he is orthodox!"
Meng Qinzhong said: "You mean, let's go out and surrender?"
Wu Siyuan said: "The five of us may not win in the end, and we may end up ruining the situation. But if we follow Jiang Lifu, we will definitely win. But we are not familiar with Jiang Lifu at all. I am afraid that he will destroy the bridges. If we surrender and he kills us, it would be better to fight to the death. It is really a dilemma!"
Meng Qinzhong said: "Lu Changhai hasn't returned to Beijing yet, right?"
Peng Yiqiang said: "No, he dared not come back. He lied that he was seriously injured and could not move forward. But according to the monk who came back from Yilu, when he ran away, he ran faster than anyone else and did not look like he could move forward in a short time. He definitely did not plan to return to Beijing. He was afraid that the emperor would kill him after he came back."
Meng Qinzhong said: "It seems that he has a rebellious intention, too."
Tian Siyuan said: "If he rebelled, it would be even more unsafe for us to stay here!"
Meng Qinzhong nodded and said, "Maybe we should leave the capital first, return to our own territory and then wait and see the changes. We can advance or retreat. Stay here, and we have no way out."
Peng Yiqiang nodded and said, "I think so too. I am afraid that when I wake up, the capital will be surrounded."
Although Jiang Licun was in the deep palace, the news was also very sensitive. He already knew the news that Lu Changhai was defeated and Jiang Lifu ascended the throne. Originally, he gave Lu Changhai to lead the troops, but in fact he was angry. In order to enjoy him, if he won, it would be the best. He would defeat the merits with his crime and everyone would be happy. If he lost, it would be just right for his wishes to die outside.
According to his idea, even if Lu Changhai was defeated, he would definitely be defeated by the opponent Zi Dou. Even if the opponent won, he would definitely kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yuan. Anyway, he had a lot of purple dou, and he would still grind Jiang Xiaobai to death if he slowly wiped it away. He would not have been defeated so miserably? After more than 50,000 purple dou died, he didn't even kill a single purple dou of the opponent. If he wiped it away like this, he would immediately grind himself to death.
It would be fine if Zi Dou died more than 50,000, but what he couldn't accept the most was that he lost the hearts of the people and even felt deeply afraid and uneasy. Jiang Xiaobai was so scary that he could make Zi Dou cultivator lose his cultivation in an instant. He felt that he could not fight again.
If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything. This sentence is most appropriate to apply to him.
But he is different from the other five marshals. He has no way out and can only secretly regret in his heart, hate himself, Lu Changhai, and Lengyan Palace. If he had known that Lengyan Palace would not like Jiang Xiaobai, he would have caught Jiang Xiaobai at the beginning during the Seven Kingdoms Gold Rush Conference, and it would not have happened like this today.
What made him even more unacceptable was that his younger brother Jiang Lifu was not dead and was found by Jiang Xiaobai. He could not find him even if he had all the troops in the world. How did Jiang Xiaobai find it?
He also knew that he was usurping the throne and was not justified. If Jiang Xiaobai had not been Jiang Xiaobai, even if his younger brother appeared, he could be destroyed in the blink of an eye. But now? Knowing that his younger brother ascended the throne in Xinjun, only 30,000 or 20,000 gold and 20,000 yuan Bai Dou, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress him, but he thought, does anyone dare to go?
Although it was just a small land, just because Jiang Xiaobai was guarding it, after these four battles, it was probably turned into a forbidden place for death in the hearts of several marshals.
At this time, Guan Xiaosheng walked forward and asked for a visit. This man was Jiang Licun's confidant, so he let him in.
After Guan Xiaosheng entered the door, he performed the rituals of the king and the ministers. Jiang Licun said, "Is there any new movement outside?"
Guan Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Yes, Jiang Li wrote a secret letter to several marshals."
Jiang Licun said in a daze: "Oh? Have you seen the secret letter?"
Guan Xiaosheng said: "That's not the case, but I know a little or two about the contents of the secret letter."
Jiang Licun said: "What's the content?"
Guan Xiaosheng said: "It is a letter of persuasion to surrender, and those who persuade the five marshals to surrender will be promoted after surrender!"
Jiang Licun said, "How did you know?"
Guan Xiao felt a little embarrassed and murmured for a long time before he hesitating: "Marantor Peng's favorite concubine Mengmeng has a good personal relationship with me. Marshal Peng told Mengmeng, and Mengmeng also told me."
If you have a good personal relationship, you will have a chance, but Jiang Licun doesn't care about the gossip of this heart at all and said, "How do you know that the other four marshals have secret letters?"
Guan Xiaosheng said: "That's what the secret letter says, saying that each of the five great marshals has it."
Jiang Licun said: "Then are there any movements in the five marshals now?"
Guan Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Yes! They all went to Marshal Meng's mansion in the morning."
Jiang Licun said, "What did they do when they go to Meng Qinzhong Mansion?"
Guan Xiaosheng said: "Then I don't know. After they entered the underground secret room, what they were talking about is unknown to outsiders!"
Jiang Licun looked angry on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Secret Room? Do they want to plot against rebellion?"
Guan Xiaosheng's face changed and he hurriedly said, "I dare not speculate randomly!"
Jiang Licun pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then you go down and pay close attention to their movements!"
Guan Xiaosheng responded and retreated.
In the evening, the generals were about to dark, and the five marshals came to the palace to ask for a meeting.
Jiang Licun didn't dare to summon them alone now. He secretly hid the Zi Dou master in both sides and let them enter the palace with confidence.
The five people entered the hall and saluted each other. Jiang Licun said, "What's the matter with the five dear friends who don't sleep so late?"
Meng Qinzhong said: "Lu Changhai suffered such a big defeat, and we can't sleep even if we are worried!"
Jiang Licun said, "Then you come to find me together. I believe you have already thought of a way to solve my problems?"
Meng Qinzhong said: "The king is worried about the humiliation of the minister. If such a big mistake is made, we are anxious and unable to sleep or eat. But the emperor rests at ease. A mere Jiang Xiaobai can't make a big wave, but a villain is just a success. Jiang Xiaobai is also a human being, not a god. Most rumors outside are spreading rumors. Jiang Xiaobai is so powerful. When he was in Wushenghai, why didn't I hear that he could destroy all the cultivation levels of those golden buckets! There must be something tricky about this. Maybe Lu Changhai was defeated and could not find a good excuse, so he arranged an excuse casually!"
Jiang Licun thought it was reasonable, but there was no such incredible thing? He could instantly freeze other people's cultivation, and he would have been invincible in the world. Leng Yan Palace could not take it seriously. How could he be beaten by Chen Xuezheng on Zihua and almost fell off the Tianzhu Peak and died? He couldn't help but feel energetic and said, "Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"
Meng Qinzhong nodded and said, "The strategy to break the enemy is very simple. You can only cut the mess with a quick knife, so as not to cause too many dreams to disrupt the morale of the army. We have already agreed to go back to the military camp to personally dispatch soldiers and generals to stabilize the morale of the army. We must capture Jiang Xiaobai alive and hand it over to the emperor. We don't believe that Jiang Xiaobai has three heads and six arms. Even if he dies in battle, he will sacrifice his life for the country and die without regrets."
