Chapter 247 Finally Coming
The next day, Meng De set off for Xishan. He said that since the lord has returned, he should also go back to guard the rear to preside over the food and fodder.
Chu Tianya smiled. He knew that his brother was kind and wanted to help him replace Xiao Linglong. However, no one can handle things better than Meng De in Xishan.
Since Chu Tianya came back, he has been busy talking to many people. In fact, he has more things to talk about with Meng De. So he personally sent Meng De down the mountain, so that he could talk to him all the way and talk about important things.
"Lord, since the return of Hedong, although you have returned from a full load of victory, you have been worried. Is there any hidden meaning?" Meng De took the initiative to ask.
Brothers are brothers. Meng De said one sentence to Chu Tianya's heart, which is heartwarming!
"Brother Seven, don't call me Lord without outsiders." Chu Tianya sighed, "I'm the only brother like you. I really want to talk to you from the bottom of my heart."
"Okay, tell me!" Meng De said with a bright smile, "Our brothers haven't had a deep conversation for some days."
"I feel that Hedong is almost over." Chu Tianya's words made Meng De's heart tremble.
"What do you say?" Meng De's thick eyebrows were gently twisted.
Chu Tianya told Meng De about the movements of the soldiers and horses of the State of Jin and the fact that the army was about to go south and flattening the east and Hebei.
After listening to this, Meng De was silent for a long time, and then said, "What is the attitude of Bai Xi and Jiao Wentong?"
"Jiao Wentong's attitude is not important now." Chu Tianya said, "Since the last transfer of soldiers and horses, Jiao Wentong has lost many people in his hands, and his relationship with me has greatly improved. Basically, I can persuade him to do what I say. The key lies in Bai Xun... Look at the great defense system of the boundary of dozens of miles above the Little Cang Mountain. He has made a decision to stick to it for a long time and never give in.
Meng De frowned gently, "Brother, I have something to tell you. I don't know if it's appropriate."
"Seventh brother, say it!" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Why are you hiding between you and my brothers?"
Meng De still hesitated for a moment and looked back. The nearest Tang Ang and Hu Ben were ten steps away, so he immediately owed his body and came to Chu Tianya's ear to talk.
Chu Tianya's face suddenly tightened, "How could this happen? Is the news accurate?
"Accurate." Meng De lowered his voice and his expression was very serious. "In the past, only Shan knew about this matter. Later, when he left Qixingzhai for Taiyuan in Guanshan, he told Princess Xiao in private. I guess even Jiao Wentong doesn't know about this matter. Among the 100,000 rebels, Princess Xiao may be the only one who knows about it!"
Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "No wonder she is so viber for Baixu..."
"There must be no intention to harm others, and there must be no desire to prevent others." Meng De said, "It's not what our brothers should have done to change the commander and fight for power. But after I heard Princess Xiao talk about this, I think it's very right for her to do so. It can be seen that her heart is still completely towards you.
"I know..." Chu Tianya's eyebrows gently twisted his eyes and seemed to have a flame jumping. He said thoughtfully, "Knowing this, I seem to understand why Bai Xi is staying in Taiyuan and never leaving."
"Yes!" Meng De sighed softly, "I will never believe that Bai Shu will betray or take your lord's throne. But everything he does has a clear purpose. Including that he left Qixingzhai and took people to Xishan. In the past, I was puzzled and went to a low place. ...Now I finally understand!"
"Uh-huh..." Chu Tianya nodded, "Bai Zhi's talent and wisdom are unmatched among the rebels. I have never doubted his loyalty. But people don't kill themselves... The ancients don't bully me!"
"Brother, I'm telling you this because I want you not to be affected by too much in the face of big things. He... is different from us after all." Meng De shook his head gently, "It's up to you to decide the big or small things! Anyway, I will fully support you! - Although Meng De is incompetent, his hometown is still there. In addition, brother, the power you have attracted in the past year, we can do it by ourselves without Qixingzhai - of course, this is a method that we have to use. The Hedong Rebel Army had a hard time gaining momentum today. How could it embark on the old road of Qixingzhai?
"I know this in my heart." Chu Tianya nodded gently, "What I want to do now is to retain the strength of the Hedong Rebel Army to the greatest extent. If Wanyan Zonghan waves his troops south, the Hedong Rebel Army will die 10,000 and 100,000, and the effect will be the same and can't resist. If it's a war, people will die. I, Chu Tianya, am not a god and Buddha, and I can't care about the survival of everyone in the world. I just hope that my brothers can die less, retain more strength, and wait for him to rise again and achieve great achievements!"
"Your idea is completely correct." Meng De affirmed, "In today's Song Dynasty, Wang Shikong has one million, but in the face of the iron horse of the State of Jin, it is like destruction. Our 100,000 rebels in Hedong are a rare division that dares to fight. Although the number is not large, as long as it is used, it is very profitable. If Bai Xu disagrees with your idea, then you don't need his consent - I think it's a magic pen for you to promote Liu Ziyu to the military office. I hope Liu Ziyu can live up to your high expectations and grow up as soon as possible. The Hundred Thousand Hedong Rebels rely too much on this military division. On the one hand, it shows that he is capable and important, and on the other hand... it is actually a dangerous signal.
"What the eldest brother said is... I don't want the Hedong Rebel Army to have the situation in Western Shu as mentioned in the Three Kingdoms. There is no general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer." Chu Tianya nodded and said, "Baixu has made a big deal in the military aircraft, and even I, the lord, have to listen to his reports and arrangements. This is really not a good thing."
"Brother, wisdom, I should have told you about these things. It turns out that you have had an idea in your heart." Meng De smiled and said, "In the past, the brother's biggest opponent was Jiao Wentong, but now he has become the leading general you rely on and trust the most. In the real battle, I heard that Jiao Wentong performed very well and was majestic. It can be seen that Jiao Wentong's heart is already towards you, and he is trying his best to express himself. Baixu... This person is proud of all sentient beings. Maybe no one in the world can really make him loyal. His roots are always..."
Chu Tianya waved his hand with a smile and motioned Meng De not to say anything. After all, there were many ears and eyes around him. He said, "I know about the white things. The seventh brother went to Xishan and said to Xiao Linglong. You are my brother, and she also respects you. She may not listen to me, but she will listen to you.
"Okay, what do you want me to say to her?" Meng De said with a smile, "My uncle has to help you discipline your daughter-in-law, haha!"
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The eldest brother is like a father! - Just tell her that when she comes back, she will pretend that nothing has happened. Don't run to Bai She to talk about it. In addition, let her hand over the military power of the Yecha Army and the Khitan cavalry after she comes back. Don't lead the troops or get any military and political affairs. Just be her personal guard. The Yecha Army was handed over to the leader of Qingwei, and the military charms were handed over to the old man; the Khitan cavalry was handed over to Jiao Wentong and incorporated into the Xiaoqi. There is a loss in this battle. I can't let Jiao Wentong suffer this loss. I have to make up for him.
"Brother, you are thoughtful. It's good to do this." Meng De nodded with admiration, "Brother's own tiger riding suffered a little loss, and it can't weaken Jiao Wentong's whistling power, which will make Jiao Wentong appreciate and respect you from the bottom of his heart. In addition, the current identity of Princess Xiao is different from before. She is the lord's woman, and she should have her duty and integrity. It's really not appropriate to be a leader and military power as before - okay, I'll tell her about this matter.
"Well, it's only appropriate for the seventh brother to come forward." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "If I tell her in person that she has to be anxious with me, she will scratch me and bite me!"
"Haha!" Meng De laughed, "Brother, when are you going to marry her? I've been waiting for your glass of wine for my brother.
"Alas!--" Chu Tianya sighed, "When this disaster is over, if we can survive, let's talk about it!"
"I'm sure it will, I believe you!" Meng Dele held his fist and said, "You don't have to send it. Lord, please stay - Meng De will go!"
Chu Tianya returned the gift with his fist, "Brother, take care!!"
"Lord, take care!!" Meng De smiled, shouted loudly, and left with his ten riders.
"Hey..." Chu Tianya looked at the background of Meng De's departure, and there was an unprecedented loneliness and melancholy in his heart.
There is only Meng De in the 100,000 Hedong Volunteer Army, who can really be called the "brother" of Chu Tianya. He can fully understand Chu Tianya's thoughts. Everything he does is for the good of Chu Tianya with his will as the starting point.
Chu Tianya thinks that Meng De owes me in his last life and has to be so kind to me?
Farewell to Meng De. When Chu Tianya took people back to the mountain, a figure suddenly fell from the top of the tree to block the way. He immediately took action against Ming Qingwei to protect Chu Tianya. Everyone fixed their eyes, but it was a rosefinch.
"Zhuque, what's wrong?" Chu Tianya asked.
The rosefinch stepped forward and handed a piece of cloth to Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya looked at it and suddenly looked tense, "Here, so fast?! - Where did your news come from?"
"It was given by Wanyan Zongbi." The rosefinch said lightly, "During my time in Hebei, he asked the nobleman to help practice two eagles. The eagle trained by the noble can accurately find the owner's position. Today, there is such a letter on his feet!"
"Wanyan Zongbi... He actually tipped us off! Strange!" Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, "Should we believe it?"
"Lord, I'd rather believe in it than nothing." The rosefinch said.
Chu Tianya nodded and took a deep breath, "Well, Wanyan Zonghan, finally here!!"
