Chapter 355 Unification of the Two Qins (VII)

"Your Marquis, it's actually nothing big about us when we come here this time. First, come here to see how the Marquis is in good health. Second, I want to invite General Meng to the palace to discuss matters."

Mr. Meng looked up at the sky and nodded, agreeing with their statement. It was not a problem to visit in the middle of the night, and it was not a problem to lead troops to invite people to the palace to discuss matters. After all, it will be dawn in a few hours. Some things can be seen through but cannot be said. I am in my heart. Hello, I am, everyone. If I can't help but say it, it will be boring.

"Okay, the old man is here. You can see. Xiaotian'er returned to the military camp outside the city yesterday. If you want to go, you have to find him in the military camp outside the city. It's nothing, you can go back. It's still early, and the old man can still sleep."

Several deputy commanders looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. Mr. Meng was highly respected. Not to mention them, even Ying Zheng did not dare to act rashly. However, the main focus of this mission was to take Montaigne away. Now that people have not seen each other, it is difficult for them to get in.

"Old Marquis, please forgive me. But I wait for the king's decree and must meet General Meng before I can go back and report my life. If I go back like this, I will not only be unable to report the job, but I am afraid my life will be worrying."

Mr. Meng squinted his eyes and looked at the person who spoke boldly. Anyway, he has been retreating for several years. These are his juniors, so it is normal that he can't call his name.

"That, the old man said it very clearly. Xiaotian'er is not in the mansion. If you want to see him, you can go directly to the camp outside the city. There are many people who know about this. There is no need for the old man to hide it from you. You just need to go to the city guard to inquire."

After saying that, Old Marquis Meng slowly stood up, and the deputy generals on both sides came forward to support him, but they didn't expect that they were stopped by Old Man Meng before they even arrived.

"You old guys are not a few years younger than me. I don't need you to help me. It's getting late, so I'll go down and rest, rest!"

The deputy commanders were helpless and had to watch the white-headed people walking past him. They had to bend over and be careful. Although these people had no status, they were veterans who had been following Mr. Meng for the rest of their lives. They really couldn't afford to offend them. Looking back at the words of Mr. Lao, it was indeed reasonable. He was respectful for his whole life and could not make any mistakes in such a thing. Thinking of this, they looked at each other and left the mansion with a dejected look.

"The king's order has not been completed. I'm afraid it's hard to get a job after I go back. The king has a bad temper recently. If he gets angry, it's very likely that he will take our heads."

"Who said no, but if you were really in the military camp, it would be difficult to let General Meng leave us smoothly. Our guards are only 10,000, and there are 100,000 permanent troops in the military camp outside. It is definitely not possible to use strong forces."

"I think we'd better wait for dawn to go to the military camp outside the city to go for a walk. Don't make such a scene, just bring a few followers over. If General Meng is reasonable and follows us, that's the best. If not, as long as you can see General Meng himself, it's good, at least you can hand in the job."

The deputy commanders gathered together, discussed for a while, and finally decided on a strategy. After dawn, they walked to the military camp outside the city.

At the border between the two countries, Ying Guang's army was continuing to move forward, but this war was somewhat different. The attacking side did not conquer the city, and the defending side did not take the initiative to attack. Looking at the exact same military flag and the same costumes, both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding. The local people saw that Ying Guang's army had a very strict chance. Not only did they not violate anything, but they also exempted the taxes imposed by Ying Zheng. The people, regardless of whether the identity of the army in front of them was fake, they saw that they were all Qin troops. The people believed it was true and returned to their hometowns one after another. Sometimes people could even form teams to provide some clear water and forage when the army was stationed.

When Ying Zheng learned the news, he became even more restless because he suddenly discovered that except for the imperial guards, he could not command any Qin army. Now the city guards are in the hands of Wang Ben, and Montaigne returns to the garrison outside the city. No matter what reason, he does not leave the barracks. Even in the name of the old Marquis Meng, Montaigne can ignore it. Since the unfavorable imperial guards hit a wall with the old Marquis Meng, they have no longer had their past glory, and have no action except guarding the royal palace.

"What exactly do these people want to do?!"

Ying Zheng kept moving around the palace anxiously. His young age and lack of experience were completely exposed. When he found that everything was out of his control, all kinds of bad emotions occupied his initiative in thinking, making him unable to think of a proper solution.

It was not until this time that he realized that there was no one around him except Zhao Gao who could give him advice!

"Zhao Gao! You said! What should I do now!"

Ying Zheng had no choice. When he saw Zhao Gao standing beside him with a gloomy eyebrows, a nameless fire instantly rose and pointed at Zhao Gao's nose and roared.

This is the real disaster. Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground. After Ying Zheng finished venting, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "King, the current Meng family is highly respected. The old Marquis of Meng is sure that you dare not act rashly, so you dare to stay in the mansion in a big way. In fact, there is no way to limit such important military officials. As long as we control another important official in our hands, we can control Wang Ben now, and tens of thousands of city guards guard the city to block the supplies of Montaigne's army. I think it won't take long, Montaigne will have to bow to you. When that time comes, you will naturally knead whatever you want!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. If it was true as Zhao Gao said, it would be a good idea! Ying Zheng turned around in the hall with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped suddenly and ordered: "Zhao Gao, go in person, and ask Wang Ben to enter the palace to discuss matters!"

"Here!"

Seeing Zhao Gao running out of the hall, Ying Zheng's mind suddenly became much more active. He took three steps and even considered imprisoning Wang Ben to regain the city guard's power into his hands, and then he would use the old Marquis Meng to hold Meng Tian to hold Meng Tian. At that time, more than 100,000 troops were in hand. With the danger of Xianyang City, what would happen if Ying Guang led his army to the city?

Ying Zheng became happier the more he thought about it, and he became happier the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but open a jar of fine wine and drink it by himself. But as soon as he was a little excited, he saw a figure at the door moving over slowly. Ying Zheng took a closer look and found that it was Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao went quickly and came back quickly. He said tremblingly: "King, as soon as I arrived at Wang Ben's mansion, I heard from the people in the mansion that Wang Ben is sick..."
