Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 246 Sweeping out the rebel General Meng Da (1)
bet on all sides
Meng Da's two short black and bushy eyebrows were tightly twisted, and a faint cold light shone in his dark pupils. From time to time, he would sway around the pavilion, his fat face and cheek muscles twitched from time to time, and his hands clenched tightly. Pressing the edge of the desk, he looked like he wanted to lift the table, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Meng Xing, Deng Xian, and Li Fu knew this master's temper best. The tall waist that had been holding his breath was bent down one by one, waiting for him to vent his anger. G.

Finally, Meng Da finally endured it, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and looked at the east sky outside the window with a slanted face: "Okay! Good! Good! Sima Yi and Pei Qian are really good—they are actually fighting dangerously. Going straight to Xiakou, they solved the siege of Jiangling and the danger of Mianyang in one fell swoop! High! High! High! I really admire you!"

After all, he turned his head and glanced at Li Fu: "Oh, I should still listen to your suggestion, Master Li - when Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin faced each other in Xiakou, we should use the name of 'raise troops to aid the east'." Pass through Huayang Jinkou and go to Xiangyang to sit in town and watch the changes..."

When Li Fu heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "My lord, he hesitated at the beginning, and it was a big mistake to sit and watch the success or failure of other people's battles; now, Sima Yi and Pei Qian have repelled the Wu army and grasped the initiative of Jingzhou's overall situation." Right, but you just came to find the "regret medicine" to take, isn't it a pity?There was a hint of worry on his face: "My lord, the governor Sima sent a silk letter from Xiangyang the day before yesterday, inviting you to the Mufu Mansion in Xiangyang to attend the celebration banquet for the victory in the battle against Wu... I wonder if you have decided to go or not?" not going?"

"No. Of course not! You just write a reply letter on behalf of me, claiming that I'm sick in bed due to a sudden cold, and after I recover, I will go to Xiangyang to visit Governor Sima, Pei Mujun, etc. Congratulations..." Meng Da hesitated for a while, and said, "However, although I cannot be present to celebrate in person, etiquette is necessary—— Li Fu! You go down and prepare a generous gift. I sent 25 boxes of silk and gold cakes to Sima Dadu and the others."

"Okay." Li Fu responded respectfully.He was secretly typing the draft of the reply letter in his heart, when Meng Da suddenly lowered his voice and asked Deng Xian intentionally and seemingly unintentionally: "Nephew, has the insider you sent ever reached Weixing County?" Is there any change? Will Shen Yi leave the city and go east this time to attend the celebration banquet at the Xiangyang Shepherd's Mansion?"

"Hmm... Report to Uncle, my nephew received a secret report, everything in Weixing County is as usual, there is no change. It seems that Sima Yi did not send a letter to invite Shen Yi to Xiangyang to attend the celebration banquet... Uncle, you know that Shen Yi is in Jingzhou How can the weight and influence of the officialdom compare to yours!" Deng Xian replied with bowed his body and cupped his fists.

Meng Da thought to himself: I wish that Shen Yi would also be invited by Sima Yi to leave the city, so that I could send a few assassins to assassinate him on the way, so that people would be able to escape without anyone noticing. Pull out his thorn in the side!He secretly sighed, seeing that Meng Xing opened his mouth to say something, he asked him: "Xing'er, what's the matter with you?"

Meng Xing cupped his hands and said: "Father, Mr. Gao Chong came to urge you again this time to 'return to Chengdu and destroy the Wei family together'... He said that this time he brought a letter from Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to you personal letter."

"Zhuge Liang's personal letter to me?" Meng Da's eyebrows twitched, his face changed suddenly, "Then why don't you hurry up and bring him in as your father!"

After receiving Zhuge Liang's silk letter from Gao Chong, Meng Da couldn't wait to open it, and looked carefully, it was indeed Zhuge Liang's elegant handwriting: Dear Meng Jun:
Fenxiang recently received a letter from Li Lingjun, and knowing that Mengjun had the sincerity of repenting and returning to his homeland, he couldn't help feeling excited and dancing.Alas!All the unpleasant things in the past were all caused by Liu Feng's child's power to invade and bully his subordinates, so as to hurt the righteousness of the former master, Emperor Zhaolie, in treating virtuous and respectful scholars!Its feelings and its appearance are well known to the prime minister.Therefore, I want to trace the love from the beginning, pursue the good of my life, and look eastward, never forgetting, so I send this letter to my step, and I hope that Meng Jun will be decisive and come back to righteousness, and we will help the Han Dynasty together!
Meng Da looked at the silk script over and over for a while, and gradually changed from excited to calm, and asked Gao Chong as if nothing had happened: "Didn't Zhuge Kongming write "Teacher's Biao" by himself to rectify it with his own efforts?" Did the Han destroy Cao? He is such a smart and capable person, does he still need my help? If I vote under his command, I am afraid it will drag him down!"

Gao Chong knew that Meng Da previously belonged to the Dongzhou faction in the Shu Han regime, and like Li Yan, he had some political disagreements with Zhuge Liang.Seeing Meng Da's lukewarm attitude, he could only pretend to ignore it, and followed what Zhuge Liang had taught him before he arrived, and said politely to Meng Da: "The prime minister has led an army of 13 to Hanzhong County to settle down. He personally told Gao Mou that he hoped that General Meng would raise his troops quickly and flank Shen Yi in Weixing County with him; as soon as Weixing County was taken, the key to the southwestern part of the false Wei would be unlocked, and you would be able to join forces with Prime Minister Zhuge in Hanzhong County victoriously. Let's destroy the Cao bandits together!"

Meng Da didn't answer his question, but asked deeply: "Brother Li Yan and Zhuge Kongming came to Hanzhong County together?"

Gao Chong replied: "The imperial court allowed Li Lingjun to stay in Yong'an Palace, and he did not accompany Prime Minister Zhuge to lead the Northern Expedition. However, he can fully support General Meng Guiyi from the rear!"

Meng Da lowered his head slightly, pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, Mr. Gao can go back and bring a message to Brother Li Yan, saying that I have been looking forward to him riding his horse from Yong'an Palace, swinging his master to the north, crossing Shennong Mountain, and coming here. Join me in fighting against Wei..."

Gao Chong was startled when he heard the words, and remained silent for a long time before slowly answering: "General Meng's words will be brought back to Li Lingjun verbatim. However, your reply to Prime Minister Zhuge's letter is... "

Meng Da stretched out his hand to touch his shiny forehead for a while, finally nodded slightly, untied a piece of green jade from his waist, handed it to Gao Chong, and said, "Gao Jun, let's do this! And hand over this piece of jade to Prime Minister Zhuge, after he sees it, he will naturally understand what I mean."

Gao Chong knew that Meng Da always liked to play riddles with "borrowing implication", so he couldn't keep asking.He pinched the jade ring in the palm of his hand, but saw that it was shaped like a piece of thin emerald lotus, exquisite and translucent, exquisitely crafted, truly exquisite.

Meng Da thought for a while and explained to him: "This is the ancestral treasure 'Qinglian Jasper Jade'. When the Japanese seat was working with Prime Minister Zhuge in Chengdu, he often saw this thing, so naturally he would know it." Seeing Jue is like meeting someone."

"Okay!" Gao Chong respectfully replied, and put the "Qinglian Jasper Jue" into his pocket very carefully.

"Nephew, take Mr. Gao down to rest first." Meng Da put on a slightly tired look on his face, and waved Deng Xian to lead Gao down.

As soon as Gao Chong came out of the room, Meng Da stood up from the couch, refreshed, looked at Li Fu, and said thoughtfully: "Master Li, I am going to write a book to Soochow Lu Xun, the commander-in-chief of the three armies..."

"Writing to Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu?" Meng Xing was listening, and couldn't help being stunned, "What are you writing to him?"

"Master Li, what do you think?" Meng Da ignored his question and just looked at Li Fu quietly.

A trace of indescribable complexity flashed across Li Fu's eyes, and he said slowly: "My lord's 'bright move' of 'hedge your bet' is really clever, but it's just..."

"No! No! No! Li Fu, this seat is actually 'betting on three sides, all three sides meet the source' - to the west, this seat can rely on Zhuge Liang; to the east, this seat can rely on Lu Xun; to the south, This seat can return to Li Yan's Yong'an Palace..."

Li Fu looked at Meng Da's triumphant appearance, and thought to himself: Your strategy of "the cunning rabbit and three caves" is certainly good, but if you go from east to west, from Qin Muchu to Qin Muchu, you will not be enamored with anyone, but Naturally, no one will love you in return.At a critical moment, who will really help you?If you "bet on three sides, all three sides will succeed", maybe in the end, none of the parties may help you... He pondered for a long time with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, according to my subordinate's blunt words , if you really want to 'seek another way out', the only way is to return to Yi Shu Han. The best strategy for Gui Yi Shu Han is not as good as what Prime Minister Zhuge said, to make secret preparations, stealthily surprise troops, and attack Weixing County in one fell swoop. Yi, as a 'gift' to the Shu Han side, I successfully joined forces with Zhuge Liang in Hanzhong County! In this way, you will have the safety of a rock and the blessing of safety! Why do you need to borrow strength from Lu Xun and other Jiangdong children?"

When Meng Da heard Li Fu's words, his face immediately turned purple.He touched his chin, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.Zhuge Liang is the person I am most familiar with—his character and virtue are just like a pot of boiling water, which is so pure that there is almost no fish. What profit can I gain from following him?He is truly impartial and selfless!For the great cause of Kuang Han to destroy Wei, I heard that he has been eating vegetables and vegetarian robes for the past few years, donating his salary to the country, and humble himself to encourage others. Seizing power and dominating"?If you really want to talk to Zhuge Liang, you might as well stay here and be a "Emperor of Earth" to be more comfortable!
But Meng Da would not express these thoughts to Li Fu, he coughed sullenly at last, and said in a deep voice, "Well... go to Hanzhong County to meet Zhuge Liang? Hmph... don't get caught by him there." Can you annex the family fortune that I have accumulated so hard over the years? I am a bit unwilling to be a general under him, and to serve side by side with Wei Yan and other small characters..."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Fu, and said slowly, with a heavy tone: "In my opinion, let's take another look at the conditions that Sun Quan and Lu Xun set for me. Soochow is thinking wholeheartedly. In order to reverse the defeats of "the defeat of Heilinyu" and "the defeat of the Han River Estuary", it is also urgently necessary for me to form an alliance with them to win Jingxiang... Perhaps, Sun Quan and Lu Xun will be honored as guests and take responsibility for each other. Treat me preferentially! In this way, Master Li, you will follow me, won't you have a brighter future?"

"This Meng Da just likes to play such fancy little tricks, which are not practical! Is there anything he can't say to you, Gao Jun, directly? He even sent a jade ring from a long way to 'borrow meaning'!" Zhuge Liang Sitting upright on the couch in the tent, slowly shaking the goose feather fan with his left hand, he held up the delicate and exquisite "Qinglian Jasper" with his right palm and looked at it carefully, "'Lotus' Those who refer to "joint"; those who use "bi" to refer to "must"; those who refer to "jue". He gave this piece of "Qinglian Jasper Jue" just to tell the truth: he and I, a big man, joined hands to destroy Wei, and my decision has been made..."

After a short pause, he slowly raised his head and looked at Gao Chong: "However, since Meng Da is determined to return to the righteousness of the great man, why didn't he tell the truth when he will raise troops to join forces with my great Han Tianjun to attack Weixing County?" , Capture Shen Yi?"
