Jiang Meng laughed and said, "It's not just Hu Pingbo? In Suidu, Cheng Jia has countless enemies both overt and covert. Isn't your mother the same? She is still a woman, and her enemies are no less than Cheng Jia's."
"If you want to fight a war, you need money, but where does the money come from? You know, people's taxes are supposed to go into the pockets of those adults. Blocking people's way of making money is like killing people. They hate it extremely."
"In comparison, Hu Pingbo is a little different. The Hu family has been prominent for hundreds of years, and he looks down on that little money. He just has political differences with General Cheng and General Qing."
"For example, when the Huyan clan went south, Hu Pingbo would think that they just burned a few villages and there was nothing to care about. He negotiated peace with them, gave them some benefits, and persuaded them not to do it again. But these two generals didn't think so. The lives of the people in the village are also their lives, not to mention that the prestige of the Liang Kingdom must not be offended. If I are cowardly, the enemy will surely take advantage of us. Today we will cede territory and tomorrow we will make peace. In a few years, the Huyan clan’s cavalry will enter the imperial city.”
"They couldn't reach an agreement, and the emperor actually supported the war, which annoyed Hu Pingbo. He always had two methods for people with political disagreements. One was to expel that person from the center of power, and the other was to assassinate him. The second He uses it the most and is the most skilled."
"At that time, he had not yet raised the title order, and ordinary killers could not meet generals who had experienced hundreds of battles. Therefore, he and his colleagues came up with a way to open up another battlefield on top of the flesh and blood battlefield."
Cheng Yang said with a cold face: "The battlefield of conspiracy."
Jiang Meng nodded, "Yes."
He looked at Cheng Yang and asked, "Do you still remember the Battle of Zhucheng?"
Cheng Yang looked gloomy.
Zhucheng is located on the northwest border and is rich in apples and walnuts. The grassland to the west of the city is vast, and many people in the city make a living by raising sheep.
However, what makes Nagisa City most famous in the world is the jasper it produces. It is said to be fine, ice-clear, and moist in color, making it the best jade.
The Western Tubari have coveted this for a long time and planned for three years before raising their troops to invade.
The urgent order to siege the city from Tuyi reached Suidu, and the emperor sent General Cheng Lao and Cheng Wei.
Once they left, they never came back.
The popular saying is that General Cheng Lao failed to lead his troops well and was unable to defeat the Tuyi, thus killing himself and his son.
But later Cheng Yang found out the truth.
What a siege, the soldiers who defended the city had clearly surrendered without a fight! They also used mediation to achieve cooperation between Tuyi and some people in the DPRK.
This is a lie and trap specially woven for Cheng Jiajun.
"You have nothing to do with their deaths." Cheng Yang stared at Jiang Meng, the fierce look in his eyes undisguised.
"I just made the old general relax his vigilance and prevent you from supporting him. If you really want to say it, the one who deserves the most credit must be Ye Zhi, the general who defended the city of Zhu."
Jiang Meng laughed and said: "In war, people will bleed to death. Ye Zhi means that he can't bear the sacrifice of soldiers. So, he opened the city gate wide. He really didn't shed a drop of blood."
Cheng Yang sneered.
The Ye family did not shed a drop of blood, and Tu Yi treated them as guests.
The people of Zhucheng did not have such good luck.
When Tu Yi first entered the city, the whole city was filled with old and weak people crying, and the miserable screams of women continued for a long time.
The Battle of Zhucheng also nailed General Cheng Lao and Cheng Wei to the pillar of shame.
Daliang lost that piece of territory and has not recovered it for many years.
People all over the world think that Ye Pheasant endures the humiliation and humiliation around the Tuyi people, but in fact? Over the years, he has assisted the Tuyi people and Daliang in the jasper business and made a lot of money.
"This was also agreed upon by Ye Pheasant and Hu Pingbo. Ye Pheasant's daughter married Hu Pingbo's eldest son. They are in-laws and have a very close relationship. The Battle of Zhucheng became a huge victory for Hu Pingbo." Jiang Mengdao .
Qing Lingyi frowned upon hearing this.
She also knew about the Battle of Nagisa.
Qing Yan was very angry that day. She was lying outside the door and heard her mother curse viciously: "Bedbugs! Cowards! A bunch of rats!"
She thought her mother was scolding people who got married, but now that she thought about it, she was talking about Ye Pheasant and Uncle Hu Ping.
"Uncle Hu Ping hid it very deeply. In the past, although I knew that there was a very powerful person beside them, I didn't know who it was. Then I was rescued by Jiang Zhao. One night, I heard him discussing with others, probably What he meant was that after using me, he would kill me. Only then did I realize that that person was Uncle Hu Ping."
Cheng Yang said coldly: "Who else are there? Besides Jiang Zhao, Hu Pingbo, and Ye Zhi, who else are there?"
Jiang Meng looked at him: "General Cheng, do you want revenge?"
"Otherwise?" Cheng Yang asked impatiently.
"This is difficult," Jiang Meng said. "Some people have died, and some have retired and returned to their hometowns. The most important thing is that there are too many participants."
"I will kill them one by one, just tell them their names." Cheng Yang's eyes were cold, like a life-seeking ghost in the underworld.
"All right."
Jiang Meng moved his legs, adjusted his posture, and said the first thing: "Ming Kan."
Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment, his handsome eyebrows furrowed: "What did you say?"
"Ming Kan," Jiang Meng repeated, "he also participated."
“……”
"Your sister-in-law, Mingqiu, was killed by him."
Cheng Yang remained silent for a long time, and Qing Lingyi turned his head carefully.
His jaw was tense and cold, and his dark eyes were filled with endless rage and violence.
Qing Lingyi sighed silently, it was so miserable for her husband.
Family members died, and those who trusted were betrayed. Why is he so miserable?
"General!"
Wu Liang's voice came from the entrance.
He came down quickly and when he saw the chaos, his eyes widened, "What's going on? What happened?"
"He was attacked." Qing Lingyi replied.
"Attack? How is it possible!" Wu Liang felt ridiculous, "We have strengthened our security recently, how could these people break in?!"
Qing Lingyi's eyes flashed.
Those men in black...
She changed the subject and asked, "You came to see the general. What's the matter?"
Wu Liang took a deep breath and said, "General Ming is here."
Cheng Yang turned his head, with a cold and murderous intent in his narrow eyes, "Ming Kan?"
"Yes, yes," Wu Liang shuddered, "He said he came to negotiate terms with the general, and he found Jiang Meng."
Jiang Meng beside him raised his head: "Huh?"
Wu Liang was not responsible for Jiang Meng's affairs and knew nothing about it.
He always felt that this ugly guy looked like an acquaintance, but he wasn't sure.
At this time, Jiang Meng waved to him, "Long time no see, Wu Liang."
This action, this tone!
Wu Liang completely remembered it, his pupils trembled: "Why are you here? What did General Ming say outside...what happened?"
Cheng Yang sneered in his heart, what else could he do, Ming Kan is here to die!
He stood up, looked back and stretched out his hand to Qing Lingyi, with rare tenderness, "Yeah, come on."
"Where are you going?"
"You go and rest, I'll go see Ming Kan." I'll think of a way to kill him by the way.
Wu Liang said at the right time: "General, you have to be more careful."
Cheng Yang glanced at him: "What do you mean?"
Wu Liang scratched his head, "He didn't come alone, he also brought his daughter. The deal he wants to negotiate is to exchange 'Jiang Meng' for you, general, to marry Mingzhen."
