C97 Meeting Meng Xia in Secret

On this day, Ye Qingcheng went to the manor lord's residence to discuss the matters of the ship. However, he was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he went straight into a restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor. Meng Xia, who had been waiting in the hall for a few days, saw it clearly and followed him.

As he did not dare to talk for long, Meng Xia said the situation was urgent, "The King has agreed to the request of the Marshal. Half a month later, he will send troops to surround the manor. The cavalry did not know what was good for them, so they will send troops from the northwest to avoid the water route."

"It is not to surround and annihilate them, but to subdue them." Ye Qingcheng spoke very seriously: "This civilian team has quite a high reputation, and there are many skilled water fighters among them. If you can use them for me, you can train the water army for Grand Justice. In the future, you will definitely become a direct descendant. " He continued, "There is a scholar named Zhou Sunchong. If he is caught, he will definitely be treated well. If he does not surrender, you can let him follow Master first. "

Meng Xia shook his head. "Difficult!" He said again, "The northwest is the main source of food and wages. The King's Imperial Advisor values it greatly. Now, we have already sent the Third Prince to guard it. "

"Father has handed the north-western region to Third Brother..." Ye Qingcheng frowned and stopped talking.

"What do you think, Marshal?" Meng Xia stared at Ye Qingcheng for a while and had already guessed what was on his mind. "If we take advantage of the chaos to get rid of the Third Prince, the First Prince will lose an arm... However, the Hu manor only has a hundred men. It is really difficult to fight against the Third Prince's cavalry. "

After experiencing this ordeal, Ye Qingcheng was determined to fight for the throne. The originally weak brotherly bond between him and his brother faded away: "In the chaos of the army, it is not difficult to get rid of one person. I'm afraid he won't come."

"That's true." Meng Xia nodded. "It is just a small battle. The Third Prince does not need to come personally. However, that might not be the case. He was extremely unwilling to let the King let the Third Prince guard the northwest. How could a warlike person endure such a leisurely life?" After pondering for a while, he said," It's just that the soldiers all recognize you. Even among the chaotic army, there is a risk of being recognized. "

Ye Qingcheng knocked on the table a few times: "There is always a chance." He changed the topic: "Recently, Fu Si and I talked about the confrontation between the two armies. He mentioned the 'execution'. I quite admire it. " Then, he explained in detail what 'beheading' was: "If the two armies faced off against each other, how could we talk about victory if we lost our commander?"

" Isn't Fusi a scholar? How would he know all of this? " Meng Xia was rather surprised when he heard that. "Now that you are in the enemy camp, if you can hide your identity, you can assassinate the princes in the name of the righteous warriors of Great Zhou."

Ye Qingcheng was not in a hurry to reply. He thought that if he led the Manor Master to fight against the Third Prince's forces, only death would await him. Even if he really killed the Third Prince, it would be easier for him to handle it alone. Fu Ting was currently in Mao County. If he was asked to leave first, that person would definitely not do so. When he thought of this, he said, "No way. Firstly, Mo might not come personally. Secondly, his military strength is weak and cannot protect me. It's not worth it. The crux of the matter is that I am known by the Liu Prefecture's royal father. If the third brother is assassinated in this battle, he will be suspected. Not good, truly not good."

Meng Xia thought for a moment," I can only think of another move from him... "

Ye Qingcheng added: "Since Master believes that returning now is not the best time, I will spend some more time with Fu Si." He paused for a bit before continuing: "General Meng, please tell Master that Fu Si is a true Kingdom Knight with profound knowledge that no one in the present world can compare to. Conquering slaves to become an army is something that came out of his mouth..." He continued, "However, conscripting soldiers to train the navy must be kept a secret. When I return, I will tell my father."

" Of course. " Meng Xia said, "We cannot let the First Prince claim the first credit. The spies we planted reported that the Imperial Residence was looking for good talents to supervise the navy. Unfortunately, this direct prince of ours had committed too many crimes in the past. People of Zhou hate not being able to eat his flesh and drink his blood. "

" That's true. " Ye Qingcheng remembered the admiration the pavilion had for him: "As far as I know, the Grand Commander-in-Chief is a virtuous king in the hearts of the people of the Zhou Dynasty."

"This lowly general has also heard of it." Meng Xia also agreed: "Even if you find someone who is good at training the navy, it is still impossible for the prince to use them. Training the navy is such a huge matter that it is difficult to handle, and the king is furious." He smiled. "It is the first credit to send troops into the lower realm to capture Emperor Wen. Obtaining the position of Crown Prince is like taking something out of a bag. The Marshal only needed to be at ease and wait. He would return to train the water army. The King naturally thinks highly of him. When that happens, the Imperial Advisor will assist from the side and the three armies will definitely be able to return under his command. "

" Since that's the case, it would be best for me to leave first. " Ye Qingcheng was a bit hesitant: "If I can contact Third Brother's spies, I will try my best to kill a few leaders when we surround them. Especially Zhou Sunchong. " Ye Qingcheng took out a brush and ink to write down his name, appearance, and use weapons: "Place him somewhere quietly and wait for me to personally persuade him to surrender. What does General Meng think? "

"This plan is somewhat feasible" Meng Xia put away the paper. "This general and the Imperial Advisor will think of a way. Don't worry, Marshal."

"Also." Ye Qingcheng's face darkened. "The Emperor Li Si's Master must stop him. Now that the Emperor Wen is in the lower realm, he should be called Zhongdu. Emperor Wen was in the capital right now and heard that there were still hundreds of thousands of troops along the Changjiang's Great Zhou. It is still too early to become the Emperor."

Meng Xia nodded. "Marshal, you don't have to worry about this. The day the Marshal doesn't return, the Imperial Advisor will stop him for a day." He continued, "Furthermore, the King knows the current situation. The people have abandoned their homes and left for the south. Most of the provinces and prefectures that they have obtained are desolate and uninhabited. They are very disappointed with the prince. The Imperial Advisor and I watch from the side. The King is not willing to hand over the position of Crown Prince to him. " After a pause, he continued," At the end of that day, we will meet the King with the Imperial Advisor and explain the Marshal's predicament. The King's worries and worries are sincere. "

As he said that, he fiercely slapped his own head. "Aiya, I forgot to tell the Marshal's mother that she has already been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine and is currently being specially favoured by the King."

Ye Qingcheng became even more ecstatic after hearing this: "With mother by the king's side and Master's painstaking efforts, the position of Crown Prince is no longer an extravagant hope." He stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "This is great, this is great!"

After the matter was settled, Meng Xia took out a bag of silver. Ye Qingcheng was too anxious to explain, so he didn't dare to take it. He only took the scattered pieces of silver from Meng Xia and let him go. After that, he paid for the tea and bought a few snacks on the side of the road. He returned to his temporary residence as if nothing had happened.
