Chapter 729 Repeated Betrayal
Song Jing, deep in the palace, in front of the mirror dressing table, a woman in palace attire sits quietly, like a quiet and elegant white lotus.
The maids in the palace tied up their hair for her, and she shook her head. Thrush her eyebrows for her, she shook her head. Wearing jewelry for her, she shook her head.
Don't want anything, long hair shawl, face up to the sky, quietly looking at yourself in the mirror.
Even with a plain face, it is still difficult to hide her peerless elegance, and she is still breathtakingly beautiful, but the faintness in her bright eyes is pitiful.
Her name is A Que, the most beloved concubine of Song Emperor Mu Zhuozhen, and it is rumored that she is the one who is loved by thousands of people in the palace of Song Dynasty.
She didn't want anything, which made a group of maids panic, and one by one secretly looked at the man behind the curtain.
Mu Zhuozhen, who appeared halfway behind the curtain, waved his hand, and a group of maids quietly retreated.
A Que also got up and left slowly, as if she didn't see Mu Zhuozhen when she passed by him.
Mu Zhuozhen suddenly grabbed her arm, and said with pain on his face: "Que'er, the most sad thing is me, the life and death of more than two million soldiers, if I don't agree, people inside and outside the palace city will say that you are a disaster for the country and the people, they I will force you to death, I have no choice!"
Faced with Shang Jianxiong's rude request, after confirming that Meng Shanming would obey, Song Guo finally compromised. Mu Zhuozhen agreed to hand over his favorite woman, and Yan Guo also made concessions on other conditions. 100 million gold coins became 30 million gold coins, and 100,000 carts of grain became 30,000 carts.
A Que cleared her throat and whispered softly: "Que'er understands, Your Majesty has no choice."
Mu Zhuozhen: "Do you hate me?"
Ah Que didn't say whether he hated it or not, "70 million gold coins, 70,000 carts of food, and the lives and deaths of two million soldiers, Que'er didn't expect that he was so valuable." While speaking, he wanted to push Mu Zhuozhen's hand away.
But Mu Zhuozhen hugged her into his arms and wanted to kiss her fiercely. Aque pushed him back and told him quietly: "Some people say that Que'er will bring disaster to the country and the people, 70 million gold coins, 70,000 carts of food, and 2 million soldiers. Life and death, starting today, Que'er will never owe Da Song anything."
Mu Zhuo was really dumbfounded, she backed away from her embrace, and stared blankly at her quietly leaving.
"Que'er, I swear to heaven, I will finally welcome you back one day!" Mu Zhuozhen suddenly roared loudly.
Ah Que didn't look back and went out the door. Mo Gao, the chief internal officer, bowed and bowed to the bottom, with tears in his eyes.
With her face up to the sky, A Que didn't take away any jewelry from the Song Dynasty, and she didn't even want any of the maids prepared for her.
Except for the clothes on her body, she only accepted a gauze hat handed over by the chief internal officer Mo Gao to wear on her head to cover her face, and then followed the monks to fly away on a large bird, walking cleanly, just as she said That way, he would never owe Song Guo anything.
There was no movement, just like this quietly sent away.
It wasn't a glorious thing at all, so I didn't intend to let too many people know about it, and Yan Guo also promised to keep it a secret, but it would be strange if this promise could be fulfilled, and it would be strange if Shang Jianxiong didn't make it known to the world.
Even though he knew he couldn't hide it from the world, he still had to be sent away quietly, it was impossible to send him away with great fanfare.
Under the eaves, watching the black dots disappear in the sky, Mu Zhuo was heartbroken, closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "The bird is flying..."
...
"General, Meng Shuai's military order has arrived."
In the tent of the Chinese army, a military order arrived. After reading it, Xin Mao, the governor of Fuzhou, ordered on the spot: "The army is assembled, retreat immediately!"
"Yes!" The generals took the order and left.
The Elder Zu Ande of Lingjian Mountain asked at this time: "Is the war on the Eastern Region River over?"
Shi Xinmao said: "There was no fight at all. The negotiation between the imperial court and the State of Song had already come to an end. The State of Song paid the price. Emperor Song Mu Zhuozhen even gave His Majesty his favorite concubine as a gift, and the court also sent the crown prince to Song Dynasty. The country is a hostage, and the two sides formed an alliance to resist South Korea. Meng Shuai complied with the court's order and prepared to release Luo Zhao's troops back. According to the agreement, our troops must withdraw first, and allow Song Guo's grain and grass to come to supply Luo Zhao's troops."
Zu Ande said, "How could this be? Isn't it necessary to maim Luo Zhao's troops? Once Song Guo has a considerable strength, South Korea can only pick a soft persimmon, and if it is not good to do something to Song Guo Maybe we are going to move our country of Yan? What the hell did Meng Shanming do? After paying such a high price, he managed to make this situation happen. How did his strategy change? "
General Shi Xinmao handed him the order, and said, "Didn't Meng Shuai keep us? Meng Shuai said, let's see if Wu Gongling will take action. If Wu Gongling chases into the territory of the Song Dynasty, we will evacuate as planned." , Luo Zhao's troops are exhausted and short of food and can't run fast. If Wu Gongling doesn't pursue and kill, we will take the opportunity to provoke and turn back quickly. We must reduce Luo Zhao's troops by a million before we stop!"
"Oh! That's how it is." Zuander nodded repeatedly after reading the instructions on the military order, and then hesitated: "The prince has been sent as a hostage to serve as the basis for an alliance between the two sides. If we really do something here, The prince is afraid that his life is in danger!"
Shi Xinmao sneered, "Elder Zu, is it important to us?"
Zuander frowned slightly, but remained silent.
...
"How about the food aided by Weiguo?"
By the river, Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked.
Gong Lince said: "It's still on the sea road, and it is estimated that it will be within a few days to reach the territory of Yan Kingdom. It is better to land from the territory of Nanzhou."
Meng Shanming: "Leave one third to Nanzhou."
Gong Lince has no objection, this is a condition that has been agreed long ago, "The indemnity of the Song Dynasty this time, the imperial court transferred all of it to the Wei State and the Qi State to pay back the debt."
"Song Guo is willing to give 50 million gold coins and 50,000 carts of food, but His Majesty would rather have less food than that woman, don't you think it's absurd?" Meng Shanming asked coldly.
Gong Lince smiled wryly and shook his head, but said nothing.
Meng Shanming's eyes moved away from his face, looking at the rolling river, with a heavy heart.
After this incident, he could see that Shang Jianxiong's power in the territory of Yan State still held a considerable weight in the hearts of the three major factions, and no one could easily replace it.
From the standpoint of the three major factions, it is also understandable that the current situation in the country of Yan, the three major factions do not want any more internal chaos, and the three major factions have compromised on what Shang Jianxiong insisted on life and death.
"Marshal, everything is ready." Zhang Hu came to report.
Meng Shanming said expressionlessly: "Cross the river!"
Following his order, the people of Yan State officially crossed the river and returned to the territory of Yan State.
The same is true for Luo Zhaoren and horses. You both walk upstream, and I return from downstream, without disturbing each other.
...
In the pavilion, Hui Qingping was sitting upright, but Wu Gongling was not very honest, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to tease Hui Qingping's chin while wandering by.
Snapped! Hui Qingping opened his hand. Although the two were already husband and wife, but in broad daylight, Wu Gongling was shameless, and she was shameless.
Wu Gongling grinned in pain as he did not attack lightly.
Walking into the courtyard, Dan Dongxing, the acting head of Tongxiang Pavilion, was a little bit dumbfounded. Earlier, he only thought Wu Gongling was joking, but no one thought that he would really be succeeded by this bastard. He really got Hui Qingping .
He was also one of the witnesses of the wedding. In order to keep it a secret, it was really simple, and it was just a few tables of banquets.
The wedding didn't seem to be important. He heard from the disciples responsible for protecting Wu Gongling that Wu Gongling had already done the bridal chamber before the wedding.
Recently, it's more like Tiantian's bridal chamber. Shan Dongxing has really convinced Wu Gongling and also Hui Qingping, how can he bear Wu Gongling.
"General, ma'am." Shan Dongxing showed up and said hello.
Hui Qingping couldn't adapt to the title of 'madam' for a while, and her face turned cold.
But Wu Gongling understood Dan Dongxing's wink, turned around and pulled Dan Dongxing to leave together.
After arriving in a remote place, Shan Dongxing teased: "The general's complexion is not very good recently, he needs to be restrained!"
Wu Gongling laughed, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Shan Dongxing also said in a low voice: "Meng Shanming has sent a letter, let us cross the river immediately, otherwise Shi Xinmao's men will divert to us, he said he will do what he said!"
"Damn it!" Wu Gongling pouted, "It's easy to bully everyone, just wait for me!"
Having said that, he is still a little afraid of Meng Shanming, especially the situation of Meng Shanming killing in Song State, which makes him a little creepy, and now he is willing to give him a way to survive, let him get out of Yan State immediately, he did not Reason not to agree.
This guy used unscrupulous means to protect himself. When Jin Jue contacted him, he contacted Meng Shanming and sold Jin Jue.
While he was bargaining with Jin Jue, he was also bargaining with Meng Shanming.
Jin Jue underestimated the extent of his shamelessness, to be precise, Jin Jue underestimated the extent of Wu Gongling's fear of Meng Shanming.
Just because he has stayed under Meng Shanming's command for many years, he knows what kind of person Meng Shanming is, if a traitor like him is worthless, Meng Shanming will definitely deal with him.
Although the things he did were despicable, he managed to keep himself during the war between the two countries. Otherwise, after Meng Shanming wiped out Song Guojiang's defense forces, there would definitely be a group of troops to deal with him first. As a result, he successfully made Meng Shanming temporarily forget his existence, and Meng Shanming led all the troops into the territory of Song State to toss.
In fact, he not only betrayed Jin Jue, but he also sold Meng Shanming, secretly bargaining with the court of Song Dynasty.
He has to stabilize the parties first, which side he should agree to, and whom he should listen to. He will make the final decision based on the battle situation.
Although despicable, in Shan Dongxing's view, it is indeed a lot of ability for this guy to be able to deal with several strong players until now, and to turn himself into the key to the battle between several parties.
...
"Crossing the river? Did you cross the river before the fight?" Jin Jue was stunned, and quickly received the information to check it.
The messenger general said: "Yes, Luo Zhao's men and horses all crossed the river and returned to the territory of Song State, and Meng Shanming did not stop them."
Just at this time, another report came from outside, and a person came in to report: "Wu Gongling has learned that Luo Zhao's men have crossed the river, and is gathering men to cross the river, and is going to hunt and kill Luo Zhao's men!"
"What?" Jin Jue dropped the one in his hand, checked the newly arrived information, frowned after reading it, and said, "Is this guy crazy? Luo Zhao's more than two million men are weak and can be ignored, but Shi Xinmao's men are not there yet. Withdraw, do you want to crash into it and seek death? No..."
