i became the villain

Chapter 256

"General, I want to ask you the truth. I hope you can tell the truth. Did you participate in this matter? Where do you stand on this matter?" Dong Tiancheng looked at Brother Meng, and asked: " Is it the court side? Or the prince's side?"

Brother Meng smiled wryly, and replied: "Master Dong, if I participated in this matter, do you think I would still tell you about this matter? Besides, even if I said that I did not participate, would you believe me, Master Dong?" ? After all, I am the prince's confidant, and I have one-third of the prince's most elite troops."

Dong Tiancheng laughed and said, "Why don't I trust the general?"

Brother Meng was stunned, he didn't expect that Dong Tiancheng would give himself such an answer, he hesitated for a while, and said: "Master Dong trust me?"

Dong Tiancheng nodded, and said slowly: "Although I have only met the general twice, I believe that I have seen the right person. A person who is eager to make contributions on the battlefield is not a person with a small stomach. In particular, the general, who is eager to make contributions to the battlefield against the invasion of foreign enemies, is an upright person who cares about the country. Such a person, in the current predicament of the Song Dynasty, will definitely not want to rebel, even if he is right The general has the order of the lord who knows you well, and I am afraid that the general will not willingly follow the lord to rebel. That will only consume the power of our Great Song Dynasty. Now our Great Song Dynasty can no longer withstand too much internal friction. This It is also the meaning of the officials, otherwise this time, instead of 10,000 guards, [-]+ elite troops who defeated the invasion of the Northern Yuan army."

Brother Meng was stunned. Dong Tiancheng's words reached his heart. After Dali was destroyed by Bei Yuan, Brother Meng clearly realized that the next target of Bei Yuan's attack must be Da Song. Therefore, I asked the prince many times to transfer him to Xiangyang City or Diaoyutai City.

Those two places were the two cities that the Bei Yuan army focused on taking care of, and they were also the two cities that they focused on attacking. The more than a dozen wars that Bei Yuan attacked the Great Song Dynasty all aimed at attacking these two cities.

pity.

The general didn't get the prince's approval, so he had no choice but to spend all his energy in Zhennan City. It can be said that among the [-] elite soldiers under Zhennan King Zhao Du, most of them were trained by Brother Meng.

The remaining 10,000+ army, looking at the large number of people, is actually filled with heads, and most of them are auxiliary soldiers or private soldiers.

This is also the reason why Dong Tiancheng went directly to Brother Mengjiang, what he valued was also the fifty thousand elite soldiers trained by Brother Mengjiang.

"Hey." Hearing Dong Tiancheng's words, the fierce general brother sighed, and said: "I plan to resign as an official tomorrow, out of sight, out of mind."

"The general is probably wishful thinking." Dong Tiancheng doesn't want Brother Meng to resign, if Brother Meng resigns, all his efforts and thoughts today will be in vain, so he doesn't want Brother Meng to resign, "Since the general knows this The inside story, how can the prince rest assured that the general will resign and go back to seclusion? Maybe when the general is on the way back, it is impossible for the prince not to send someone to chase and kill you. It is the prince who will not do this, those subordinates of the prince , will do the same.”

This point, without Dong Tiancheng's reminder, Brother Meng also thought of it, sighed again, and stopped talking.

Brother Meng didn't speak, Dong Tiancheng didn't speak either, the two of them just sat there without saying a word, and at the same time they were thinking hard about countermeasures in their minds.

This errand is a bit dangerous. If there is any emergency, it is very likely that you will take your life on it.

He cannot die.

The fierce brother can't die either.

In order to live, you have to think of a complete way.

At this time, the night was already very dark, and the surroundings were terribly quiet. Brother Meng sat aside and sighed, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he looked at a loss.

"Brother Meng, it's now." Dong Tiancheng suddenly said: "Only if we stand together can we survive, and at the same time, we can let the general have his wish and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

Brother Meng asked urgently: "What good strategy does Mr. Dong have? Tell me quickly and listen."

Dong Tiancheng squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table beside him, looked at Brother Mengjiang leisurely and said: "Now that things have come to an end, we have to act first, I don't know how many people Brother Mengjiang can control in the whole city?"

Brother Meng was taken aback, but quickly understood the meaning of Dong Tiancheng's words, and said: "To tell you the truth, the entire town of South Town had a total of 23 troops before. Some time ago, the prince took the initiative to reduce some of the troops. Now the whole town of South Town has a total of 19 troops. Of the 14 soldiers and horses, [-] of them are elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] are some auxiliary soldiers, servants and private soldiers. Among the [-] elite soldiers, I can control [-] troops in the headquarters, and the rest are all controlled by the prince's confidants and generals. Control. If you really fight against it, it's really..."

Dong Tiancheng understood the meaning of the strong general brother, because he was worried that his own troops would not be as strong as the opponent's, and they would become paralyzed and finally defeated. After all, they only had more than 2 people, and the opponent's number was ten times that of theirs.

"General, how many soldiers in front can be used by us?"

Dong Tiancheng cleverly used us instead of me or us, because I or we only represent him personally, but we or us express the two of them.

Since they are allies on the same front, it is natural to show it.

Brother Meng made a rough estimate, and said: "The leading generals are all the confidantes of the prince, but most of the generals who fought were loyal to the emperor. After the emperor personally defeated the invading Beiyuan army, these people's respect for the emperor Their knowledge is extremely high, if the adults can persuade them and change them, they might not be able to control the army."

Dong Tiancheng nodded and said: "In that case, please write me a list of available generals who are loyal to the court. I will go to the barracks tomorrow. Anyway, I am an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. The prince is not ready yet. , will not do anything to me."

Immediately, Brother Meng Jiang wrote a long list and explained which ones could be reused, which ones might deteriorate, which ones should be tempted with profit, and which ones were always wanted to encourage the prince to make things, etc.

Dong Tiancheng put away the list and breathed out.

this moment.

The stone in his heart barely fell to the ground.

Perhaps it was because of the stone falling in his heart, Dong Tiancheng said with a smile: "Brother Meng, if this matter goes well, I will definitely recommend the general in front of the emperor. When the time comes, the general will be stationed in Xiangyang City, so he must be careful. My heart in the Song Dynasty is not dead, and I will use all kinds of tricks against the generals defending Xiangyang City."

Brother Meng said with a smile: "If my lord doesn't dislike it, I am willing to become a brother with a different surname with my lord, so that we can share the blessings and share the difficulties."

sworn.

It's just a means, a means to tie two people together on the surface, and his marriage with the royal family is actually a reason.
