Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 428 While Planning

"Xing'er, hurry back to Jiameng City and give this letter to Duke Tang! This plan still needs Duke Tang's cooperation." Meng Da handed a sealed letter to Meng Xing.

I still let my son do this kind of small letter, and he can show his face in front of the new master, maybe he will be attracted to it?From then on, you don't have to worry about your career.

As for nephews and generals, generally speaking, they were still outsiders, so dangerous things like going to battle to kill the enemy were still done by them. Besides, he only had one son, Meng Xing, and everyone had selfish intentions, and Meng Da was naturally not exempt.

Looking at the letter that Meng Da handed over, Meng Xing felt a little disappointed. He never thought that his own father would arrange such a small matter for him. Did he look down on himself?
As a hot-blooded young man, Meng Xing, like everyone else, longed for a bloody life of gold and iron horses galloping on the battlefield. Naturally, he was dissatisfied with Meng Da's arrangement of him as a messenger.

"Father! For sending the letter, just call anyone to go! Now the enemy is at hand! As the son of the father, the child should follow the father to the front! There is no reason to back down! If this is the case, it will make people laugh at my Meng family who has no one." Meng Xing clasped his fists and saluted.

Knowing a son is like a father!How could Meng Da not know what his son was thinking? Seeing Meng Xing at this time, he couldn't help thinking of himself back then, who was just as young and passionate.

"Xing'er, don't think this is a simple letter. This matter is a big deal! I don't feel relieved to let other people go. Only you can go. My father can feel at ease. Remember, you must deliver the letter yourself. In the hands of Li Song, even if it is death, it cannot be left in the hands of others." Meng Da said earnestly.

Meng Xing looked at his father's serious appearance, and suddenly felt that things might not be what he thought, or maybe he was wrong about his father.

After observing Meng Da's words, he then fooled Meng Xing. After all, Meng Xing was young, so how could he be the opponent of Meng Da, an old Jianghu? After some persuasion by Meng Da, Meng Xing finally agreed.

After seeing off his son, Meng Da also started to prepare to go. After all, he was the protagonist in the whole scene, and the others were just supporting roles.

A few days later, in the Cao Ang army camp in Chengdu, the spies knelt in front of Cao Ang and reported: "The humble officer has contacted General Meng Da, the guard of Jiameng Pass, and it has been confirmed that Li Song's army has withdrawn from Hanzhong, and hastily rushed back to Xuchang. It is said that Gongsun Kang in the north occupied Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, and Bingfeng pointed directly at Xuchang."

In fact, Meng Da quietly returned to Jiameng Pass, creating the illusion that he was in Jiameng Pass, confusing Cao Ang's spies, and told him the false news of Li Song's withdrawal, and asked him to come back and tell Cao Ang.

In order to achieve the effect of deception, he sent Li Fu to see Cao Ang, just to deliver such false news to Cao Ang. He knew that Cao Ang would definitely send someone to investigate, and it was as expected.

Cao Ang was overjoyed after hearing this!These days, in order to deal with the growing rebel army, he has been devastated, and at the same time, he has to worry about the situation of Jiameng Pass all the time. Now it is good!Li Song's backyard caught fire, and he had to retreat to Xuchang, so that he didn't have to worry about the situation of his son at Jiameng Pass.

It is not impossible to put all your energy on these rebels in Shu, and after you have solved the problems in Shu, you can seize Hanzhong and point directly at the Central Plains.

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord! God bless my lord!" After the spies had retreated, someone immediately stood up and complimented Cao Ang. Regardless of whether there was any actual effect, they should show their presence in front of the lord.

Even Cao Ang felt that God favored him, otherwise, Gongsun Kang, who is far away in Liaodong, with his little strength, can fight monsters and upgrade all the way, grab the territory, and it would be good not to be robbed by others, and rob others.

"My lord, even Li Song has retreated, why not take the opportunity to seize Hanzhong." A school lieutenant under Cao Ang's command came forward to advise.

"No, Hanzhong won't run away there. The land of the three northern states fell into the hands of Gongsun Kang. It won't take a day or two to take it back." Cao Ang disagreed.

After all, Rome was not built in a day. Even if Li Song's generals are like clouds and advisers are like rain, it will take a lot of time, and their top priority now is to get rid of the chaotic situation in Shu. At that time, it will not be too late to seize Hanzhong again. Hanzhong And won't run away.

"My lord, it's better to transfer the defenders of Jiameng Pass back to Chengdu, and help my lord to quell the rebellion in Shu as soon as possible." Another person stood up and advised.

Now that there is no need to take precautions in Hanzhong, what does Liu Xia's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses look like there? With so many soldiers and horses eating and drinking every day, it would cost a lot, and it would be better to let them come back to fight.

Play their role, as the so-called good steel is used on the blade, we can't let these soldiers and horses just eat and do nothing every day!
This is also the result Meng Da wants. As long as Cao Ang summons him to lead the troops back to Chengdu to fight together, then he can take the opportunity to eliminate Cao Jun and make a great contribution!The speaker in front of him has already been bribed by Meng Da.

Cao Ang did not immediately agree to this plan. Cao Ang had no intention of recruiting the defenders of Jiameng Pass.

Seeing that Cao Ang didn't make a decision immediately, the man rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "My lord! Now, our army is at loggerheads with the rebels in the city, and rebels from all over the country are coming towards Chengdu."

"The ups and downs will be bad for our army. By then, it will be too late to regret! Besides, now that Li Song has retreated, our army no longer has to worry about the threat from Hanzhong, but the soldiers need to eat every day... .”

The man said a lot, left and right were just to recruit Mengda, so that he would have a chance to destroy him before the rebels in Chengdu were not strong enough.

Cao Ang was in a dilemma, whether to recruit or not to recruit, "Is there any news from the military division?"

"My lord, there is no news from the military division! We don't know what's going on."

Immediately, someone stood up and said, they didn't know that the person sent to Nanman to look for Zhuge Liang was killed early in the morning, and Zhuge Liang didn't know the situation here until now, and he still stayed in Nanman to stir up discord.

"Where is Cao Pi? How is his injury?" Cao Ang had only Zhuge Liang as an adviser. At this critical moment, he didn't even have a person to discuss with. Yes, Cao Ang couldn't help thinking of Cao Pilai who was still in Luocheng.

"My lord! General Ziheng is still fighting the rebels in Luocheng, and he has won a preliminary victory, and his injuries are healed." Another person stood up and reported the latest news about Luocheng to Cao Ang. news.

After Cao Ang heard this, he nodded and didn't say anything else. He was still uncertain about mobilizing the guards of Jiameng Pass.
