Meng Zhan was scheming, but he couldn't hold back his teammates and wasted the best fighter.
It was a little late when several 800-mile expedited letters arrived at their destination. The army of Huang Song and Jiang Pengji had already entered Cangzhou.
Huang Song's side is okay to say that his task is to contain Cangzhou's troops, and he is not very dedicated in fighting, and he does not do his best, so the pressure on the south of Cangzhou is relatively small. In contrast, the pressure on the north side of Cangzhou has increased, and Jiang Pengji led his troops to drive straight in.
When Meng Zhan's secret letter arrived, her army had already broken Cangzhou's border defense line and opened a hole with a tough attitude.
Faced with the sudden attack, Cangzhou was caught off guard, and before realizing what was happening, the site changed its owner.
The bad situation didn't improve until Meng Zhan's secret letter arrived.
Meng Zhan knew very well that Jiang Pengji was able to break through the Hanchang Pass in a short period of time, which showed that his combat power was not bad.
If you want to win, you need to be surprised.
He wrote a letter and added his patriarch's token, ready to invite the Gaoyue people to come out.
The Gaoyue tribe is a beast-fighting alien befriended by the ancestors of Meng Zhan, and almost every tribe can control fierce beasts.
Because of the friendship between the ancestors, the Meng family took care of the Gaoyue family from generation to generation, and the Gaoyue family relied on this kindness to get countless benefits from the Meng family.
Meng Zhan asked them to send troops to stop Jiang Pengji's army, but they had no reason to refuse.
However, the Gaoyue people are so well raised by the Meng family that they have a very big appetite and insatiable greed.
They can agree to Meng Zhan's request, but they need to pay for the military.
Meng Zhan learned about this and responded with a sneer—
At first, the friendship between the Gaoyue people and the Meng family was simple, and the Meng family only needed to prepare a habitat for them.
As time passed, more and more forces coveted Cangzhou. After all, Cangzhou was rich in war horses. Who wouldn't be jealous.
If the Meng family wants to keep the "Cangzhou" cornucopia, they must have their own trump cards, and the Gaoyue people have become the best choice.
Since then, the Gaoyue people have become blood-sucking worms attached to Meng's body, and Meng's can't do anything with them.
Now I want to repeat the old tricks-
"Yes, but we can't give what they want. We can only make a deposit of 100,000 guans and 1,000 cattle and sheep. When the willow thief leads his troops to evacuate, the remaining gap will be filled at one time." Meng Zhanxi Anger is invisible, as if the other party's conditions are nothing.
In fact, Meng Zhan only intends to give a "deposit" to coax the Gaoyue people into giving their lives, and the rest of the money—
Hehe, it also depends on whether the Gaoyue people have their lives!
The patriarch of the Gaoyue clan had no doubt that he was cheating, and he was relieved to see the tenth of the deposit.
"Tsk—the Meng family's children are getting more and more stingy. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to send us—what about beggars?" When encountering difficulties, why don't you just hand over a large sum of money obediently to save money and eliminate disasters? Why did you go earlier? If Meng Zhan's child is not so stingy, he might not want his military expenses this time."
Take people's money, save people's disasters.
The Gaoyue people took the "military deposit" given by Meng Zhan, and dispatched 5,000 strong and beast corps to go to the front line.
Don't look at the fact that the Gaoyue people only dispatched 5,000 elites, but when they fight, 20,000 to 30,000 enemies are not enough for them to kill.
The Gaoyue people live a relatively closed life. They know Jiang Pengji's name, but they don't take her seriously.
"It's just a woman... Meng Zhan can't even win with a woman, it's useless. If Liu Xi is captured alive, he will have to discuss with Meng Zhan's son. The annual subsidy can't be only 150,000 yuan, no matter how you say it. Half a million will do."
Although the Gaoyue people are very wealthy, no one would dislike their lack of money.
In the past, the Meng family was good to them, and the money they sent every year was as much as 300,000 kuai, and as little as 200,000 kuai.
Since the stingy Meng Zhan became the head of the house, the money he gave has been decreasing year by year.
Cangzhou has developed waterways, and merchants from south to north will stop here, and the business development is very good.
The Meng family occupied Cangzhou, and I don't know how much money they made. Half a million dollars a year is not enough for them to put a gap in their teeth.
Now that someone knocked on the door, did you think of their Gaoyue people
hum-
If they don't take advantage of the opportunity, the Meng family is afraid that they won't know who their ancestors relied on to develop!
Jiang Pengji didn't know anything about this, because the scouts sent out hadn't sent back any news yet.
"My lord, after this pass is Luofengwu—"
Jiang Pengji glanced at the perspective of the live broadcast room, and glanced at the terrain of Luofengwu.
"Luofengwu? What's so special about this place?"
Meng Hun explained, "Luofengwu is located in Qianyan County in the north of Cangzhou. Luofengwu has dense jungles, low hills and gentle slopes, and wild animals are often seen. The most important thing is that most of the people in Qianyan County are related to the Gaoyue people. Fengwu is the home of the Gaoyue people—"
If they wanted to attack Meng County in Cangzhou, they could not avoid Qianyan County, let alone the Gaoyue people.
Jiang Pengji said indifferently, "What's wrong with the Gaoyue clan? Surrender if you know each other, if you don't know you, just fight over."
Meng Hun choked—
It's really the master's style.
Meng Hun couldn't persuade him, but Wei Ci couldn't just sit back and watch. He said, "The army led by the lord is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, it is necessary to bow first and then soldiers. If the Gaoyue people are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this would be the best. It's not too late to send troops."
As soon as he came up, he beat people violently, and it got a bad reputation.
Jiang Pengji pouted.
She came to attack Cangzhou, but she had to greet her before the fight started.
Sure enough, she still can't understand the art of war in ancient times.
Just as he was talking, the sound of horseshoes came from afar, and our army scout brought back a strong man dressed in strange clothes.
The temperature has warmed up a little now, but ordinary people are still wrapped tightly. The strong man of the alien race in front of him is very different. He only wears an animal skin vest, a tiger skin flower skirt, and a circle of brightly colored feathers on his head. The outer skin is covered with hideous animal patterns.
His eyes were like eagles, his broad, long nose was slightly sunken, and his thick brown lips took up half of his chin.
He swept his eyes around, clasped his fists in a salute, and said in a tiger voice, "I am the envoy of the Gaoyue tribe, and now I want to see your lord."
The strong man's elegant speech is not very good, his accent is not correct, and it sounds quite awkward.
"The messenger of the Gaoyue tribe?" Jiang Pengji raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter here?"
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Meng Hun—
Meng Hun is in favor of the ceremony first and then the soldiers. Did the co-author know that the whereabouts of the army had been leaked
The strong man looked at Jiang Pengji with dissatisfaction.
"Is this the etiquette of your hospitality?" the strong man said, "I was sent as an envoy under the order of the patriarch, and you were treated like this?"
The Gaoyue people have a very high status in Cangzhou, and many Han people have to bow down or retreat when they see them. Living in such an environment for a long time, the Gaoyue people have developed a strange sense of superiority and feel superior to others.
