Jinghong Building

Chapter 192 Your mother is my mother

In Zhuozhou City, Meng Wangsheng looked worried, and there was no longer enough food and grass. In order to save food, Meng Wangsheng, as the chief general, only ate a bowl of coarse grain rice every day.

But saving alone is not enough. The food will be eaten up. They collect grain from the people, and life is not easy for the people. Every family is closed and they dare not come out. The soldiers who go to collect grain are turned away and are so anxious that they break the door. When they entered, the timid people took the initiative to take out the food, but some people picked up the kitchen knives and axes from their homes, and would rather fight for their lives than give them a grain of food.

The situation is moving in the direction that Meng Wangsheng least wants to see.

He was guarding the city, but the people in the city were not grateful for their kindness. At the beginning, Meng Wang felt disappointed, but later he understood.

The reason why the people are not grateful is that they guard the city not for the sake of the people.

Because this is the last protection of the capital, they protect the capital, not the people all over the city.

Meng Wangsheng climbed the city tower. Outside the city were the king of Jin's troops, and inside the city was a lifeless street.

Meng Wangsheng felt confused.

At this moment, a noise came from the downstairs.

He looked down and the noise came from a sloppy Taoist who was holding a sloppy sign in his hand.

The Taoist raised his head and looked at Meng Wangsheng, who was leaning down and looking down.

"What is General Meng doing? Are you defending the capital? Hahaha, the capital is in Jinling, so far away from here."

Meng Wangsheng's heart sank. The capital was in Jinling, and the words of the sloppy Taoist gave him the heaviest blow.

His family is also in Jinling, and they are hostages.

Surrender, the family died.

He fought hard to the end, and as long as he ended in failure, his family would not end well.

What if he dies? Will the King of Qi and the Emperor let his family go for his sake?

Meng Wangsheng's heart was like a galloping horse, and he committed suicide. This was the best way he could think of.

His hands subconsciously held the hilt of the sword. At this moment, the sloppy Taoist under the city tower suddenly took out something from his arms: "Can General Meng know this thing?"

Looking at that thing, Meng Wangsheng suddenly realized that it was his son's jade flute. He scolded his son for losing his ambitions, but he still spent a lot of money to find this jade flute made by a famous master of the previous dynasty and gave it to his son.

My son couldn't let go of it, and from then on, this jade flute was carried with him and never left him.

"Let him come up." Meng Wangsheng said.

The sloppy Taoist went up the city tower and held Yu Di in front of Meng Wangsheng in both hands.

Meng Wangsheng took the jade flute, yes, this is the one he gave to his son, and the words on it were engraved by himself.

"Why is this thing in your hands?" Meng Wangsheng asked.

The sloppy Taoist smiled slightly: "Of course it was the eldest son who asked him to send him over. By the way, Mrs. Zhongyong asked me to tell General Meng that Mrs. Meng, two young masters and a nephew, are safe now in Shunde Mansion."

Meng Wangsheng's body shook. The news came too suddenly, and he couldn't bear it.

"Is the nephew from... Xie's family?"

The sloppy Taoist kept a secret: "It's good if General Meng knows it." Meng Wangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again: "Is Mrs. Zhongyong who saved them?"

The sloppy Taoist smiled slightly: "As long as General Meng knows, you have no worries at this time, it's enough."

Meng Wangsheng exhaled a long breath: "What are the instructions of Mrs. Zhongyong?"

Mrs. Zhongyong is the old lady of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. Meng Wangsheng not only knew that Wu'an Marquis was ordered to protect the capital, but he also knew that Wu'an Marquis' Mansion had been left behind and that the people had already left a backup plan.

There is no free lunch in the world. Wu'an Hou Mansion saved his wife and children, and he must make some statement.

The sloppy Taoist smiled and said, "Wuan Hou has arrived..."

Meng Wangsheng was surprised. Haw Wu'an Hou arrived?

Is this here to help?

But Marquis Wu'an only has only 5,000 troops. Let's not talk about whether he can withstand the army of King Jin. He brought all his troops to Zhuozhou, so what should he do in the capital?

The sloppy Taoist lowered his voice: "I will not hide it from General Meng, I am actually sent by the King of Jin to persuade him to surrender."

Meng Wangsheng immediately became alert. Is this Taoist from King Jin? Has the Marquis of Wu'an surrendered to the King of Jin?

As if he saw what he was thinking, the Taoist looked solemn: "What are you thinking? I am Yuan Gang, a disciple of King Jin, but Yuan's benefactor has a close relationship with the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Yuan is here this time I persuaded surrender and brought a message to the Marquis of Wu'an by the way. It was just a favor."

Meng Wangsheng's mouth twitched. Is there such a favor?

Can you help people bring messages when persuading surrender?

"Wu'an Hou is now Baijiatun. If you guard Zhuozhou, you must know where Baijiatun is. The next thing is the business of both of you. I can't control it, but depending on the situation in your city, I'm afraid it will not be delayed for a few days. General Meng should find a way out for himself."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

After Yuan Gang said that, he bowed to Meng Wangsheng and turned to go down the city tower. Meng Wangsheng looked at his back and disappeared into a tile.

How did Yuan Gang enter the city?

Could it be that there is another secret passage in the city that he doesn’t know?

Meng Wang broke out in a cold sweat.

In the evening, Meng Wangsheng disguised himself as a disguise. After leaving the city from a known secret passage, walk the small path around the Jin army camp, stand on the hillside, look at the lights on the Jin army camp in the distance, and sigh a long sigh.

If he wants to escape, it will be a good opportunity now, but he can't do it.

Meng Wangsheng smiled bitterly. He was really impulsive. How could he believe Yuan Gang's words just based on his son's Yu Di? If this was just a trap, what if Wu'an Hou was not in Baijiatun?

But he had no way out and he wanted to bet.

An hour later, Meng Wangsheng came to Baijiatun.

It was not until I saw the familiar face that Meng Wangsheng felt relieved.

Wu'an Hou Lu Pingnan is really here!

"Old Lu, is it really you?" Meng Wangsheng's tears were about to flow out. He was not so excited when he married his beloved wife.

Lu Pingnan patted his shoulder: "Do you think I want to come, but my mother is forcing me to come."

Meng Wangsheng smiled. When he was a child, he often went to the Lu family to have free meals. This is the friendship that comes from free meals and can save his life at critical moments.

"Lao Lu, how many people have you brought here? Have you brought all the five thousand people in the capital? What should you do if you come out?" Meng Wangsheng asked.

"There is my mother in the capital. Don't underestimate my mother. That's the Dinghai Shen Needle. In addition, I didn't come by myself, my third brother is here, and he is in Qi Town.

In addition, my mother also sent someone over.

Lao Meng, let’s fight this battle together. ”

Meng Wangsheng was moved and burst into tears. He grabbed Lu Pingnan's hand and said excitedly: "From now on, your mother will be my mother, and my son will be your son!"
