Chapter 105: Something big is going to happen
Situ Rui sighed and said in a heavy tone: "General Changkong, what we should consider now is not the success or failure of the Eastern Expedition, but how to face the next crazy counterattack of the Guanghui Empire! As soon as one month or as late as half a year, the Guanghui Empire will inevitably launch a full-scale invasion of the empire. We should be prepared in advance."
Yan Changkong said sternly: "Governor General, is the chaos in the Guanghui Empire over?"
Situ Rui sighed again and said bitterly: "Before today, the situation in the Guanghui Empire might still be Park Shuo and chaotic, but after today, that is another situation. With the reputation of defeating this governor, Meng Yan will undoubtedly ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the Guanghui Empire. The political struggle in the Guanghui Empire has ended."
Speaking of which, this is all accident.
Originally everything was under Situ Rui's plan. Even the empire's bright moon Qiu Yutang believed that Situ Rui's eastern expedition would have at least 60% of the possibility of success. However, Situ Rui and Qiu Yutang did not expect that Meng Yan would be lost by his children's affair, nor did he expect that Meng Yan would lead the Guards army alone and rushed forward thousands of miles to rescue Xiling.
Meng Yan's Guards Army, come, this is a good thing for the Mingyue Empire Army, because as long as Meng Yan's Guards Army is defeated, the Guanghui Empire will never be able to send reinforcements in a short period of time, and Situ Rui will be able to free up his hands to slowly deal with Meng Hu and the defenders in Xiling City.
However……
Situ Rui never expected that the Battle of the Daughter River, which was bound to win, would fail due to the defeat of the Scythe Knights. The defeat of the Battle of the Daughter River led to the complete failure of this Eastern Expedition. As for the defeat of the Scythe Knights, it was even more unexpected!
Who would have thought that the Scythe Knights would actually be defeated by a group of barbarian cavalry?
This series of accidents eventually led to an irreversible situation today. Situ Rui's Eastern Expedition unexpectedly led to Meng Yan's successful election. This is a great irony. Situ Rui joined the army at the age of 18 and has never lost in his life, but today, he has suffered a lot of defeat!
In the final analysis, the failure of this Eastern Expedition was entirely because of Meng Hu's barbarian cavalry, so Situ Rui still remembered this account on Meng Hu. In fact, from the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, Meng Hu made Situ Rui and his Mingyue Empire army suffer a lot, but he didn't expect that he would eventually fall into the hands of this guy.
As for Meng Yan, it was just a benefit from Meng Hu's glory.
Yan Changkong quickly figured out the whole story and said with a serious expression: "Governor General, if Meng Yan really ascended the throne of the Glorious Empire, he would probably not give up. This guy is a warlike man and still remembers his arrogant look when he was on the empire three years ago."
"yes."
Situ Rui rubbed his forehead and whispered, "Meng Yan became a warlike person. He would never give up, so we must prepare early. The biggest problem of the empire is that the treasury is empty. This Eastern Expedition has damaged nearly 100,000 soldiers. Just giving out pensions is a huge expense, but our treasury has no money at all!"
Yan Changkong and Geng Zhong looked solemn, and nodded at the same time.
A look of loneliness suddenly appeared on Situ Rui's face, and he sighed: "So, I decided to temporarily borrow money and food from Hedong, Sanjiang and Henan to let the people of Guanghui Empire suffer some pain. It is better than letting the people of our Mingyue Empire suffer. I am very reluctant to attack the unarmed civilians, but now there is no other way."
Geng Zhong's face changed slightly. Situ Rui's words meant to loot the three prefectures of Hedong, Sanjiang and Henan!
But there is nothing we can do about this. If Situ Rui does not loot these three mansions, he will lose a lot of money this Eastern Expedition. He will not be able to pay out the pension of 100,000 soldiers alone, and even the food and grass consumed cannot be replenished. Next, the Guanghui Empire Army launches a large-scale invasion of the west. What should the Mingyue Empire Army use to resist?
"This governor will take ten days to collect enough money and grain." Situ Rui's face soon became cold again, and he said to Yan Changkong, "So your Second Division must guard this Sanchao. This is the only way to Xiling to Sanjiang and Hedong. You must not let Mengyan's guards come in ten days."
Yan Changran suddenly straightened his body and replied sternly: "Yes!"
Xiling, the hall of the Governor's Office.
Zhao Qinghan was holding a banquet to Meng Yan, Shi Miyuan also had senior generals of the Guards. In addition to the Western Priest Luo Daonan and other Western nobles and priests, there were also generals of the Western Legion such as Meng Hu, Zhan Ying, He Qing, Zhou Jin, Bai Xi.
In fact, Zhan Ying and his team only had the rank of the corps commander, and they were not qualified to attend today's banquet. But now, except for Zhao Qinghan, the commander of the corps and Meng Hu, the division commander of the Fifth Division, there are no other senior generals, so Zhan Ying and the others can only attend the banquet.
On the chairman of the hall, Meng Yan is on the left and Zhao Qinghan is on the right.
The left-handed head Meng Yan is below the guards, and the right-handed head Zhao Qinghan is below the nobles of the western provinces, the priests and officers of the western army. As soon as the maid served wine and dishes, Zhao Qinghan stood up with a glass of wine and said to Meng Yan: "For this first glass of wine, Qinghan first wishes to the prince, thanks to Your Highness for leading his army to rescue Xiling from thousands of miles away."
"Don't dare."
Meng Yan hurriedly got up and was about to take the opportunity to say a few words to show his warmth, but Zhao Qinghan had no choice but to dry it. Meng Yan was stunned for a moment and had to fuck him up, and then sat back in a little depressed manner.
After the maid finished pouring the wine again, Zhao Qinghan raised his glass to Shi Miyuan, Pu Sanzhi and others and said: "In this second glass of wine, Qinghan wants to toast the two gentlemen and five generals. If it weren't for the two gentlemen's planning and the five generals' bloody battle with their daughter He, Situ Rui would not have withdrawn his troops, and the siege of Xiling would not have been resolved."
Shi Miyuan and others hurriedly stood up and raised their glasses with Zhao Qinghanyao and fucked them one after another.
After two glasses of wine, Zhao Qinghan's face had a bit of blush, and she looked particularly beautiful.
Zhao Qinghan asked the maid to pour wine for him, then picked up the wine glass and turned to Luo Daonan, Meng Hu and others, and smiled and said, "For this third glass of wine, Qinghan wants to toast Luo Master Luo, and several uncles, as well as the soldiers of the Western Legion. If it were not the soldiers of the Western Legion and the soldiers of the Western Legion, Xiling City would not be able to hold on to today. If it were not the soldiers of Luo Master Luo, and several uncles would generously donate half of their belongings and land, Xiling City would not be able to hold on to today. Qinghan, on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Legion and the five million people in the Western Province, thank you."
After saying that, Zhao Qinghan raised her jade neck and drank the American wine in the glass in one go. Meng Hu and several generals of the Western Legion followed him, but only Luo Daonan and others looked embarrassed. They were not as good as drinking with wine glasses, nor were they not as good as not drinking. After hesitating for a while, they still pinched their noses and fucked them hard.
Meng Yan, who was sitting in the main position of the left head, looked a little gloomy. He was already ready to force donations to talk to him at the banquet. Of course, the purpose was not to target Zhao Qinghan, but to attack Meng Hu, to comfort Luo Daonan and other western powers, and to take the opportunity to eliminate Meng Hu, his rival.
But now, Zhao Qinghan took the lead in taking the matter to herself, and Meng Hu's forced donation also made her say that it was the generous donation of Luo Daonan and others. If Meng Yan still had to use the forced donation to talk, it would inevitably cause a rupture of the relationship between him and Zhao Qinghan, which Meng Yan did not want to.
The hall was silent, and everyone had their own thoughts.
Zhao Qinghan, who has never been drunk, has eaten three cups of strong wine. He is already a little drunk now. He actually stretched out his white white wrists in front of everyone, and said with a blurred look: "Hu, I'm a little dizzy, help me to the back."
After saying that, Zhao Qinghan looked back at Meng Yan, Shi Miyuan and others with apologized glance, and said, "The Second Prince, the two gentlemen and five generals. Qinghan is unable to drink and is about to lose her companion. Next, let Master Luo and a few uncles accompany you. Everyone must have fun."
Meng Hu was not vague and strode forward and walked away with her arms around Zhao Qinghan's slim waist.
Meng Hu didn't care about Meng Yan, his rival. He promised Lei Ming to take care of Zhao Qinghan. From that moment on, he had already decided that Zhao Qinghan was his woman. Although Meng Yan was a prince, Meng Hu was not scared. This guy had already reserved a way out in Qingniu Tun. At worst, he could go to Qingniu Mountain to be the king of the mountain!
Watching Meng Hu and Zhao Qinghan embrace each other and leave, Meng Yan's face turned green with jealousy, and his right hand tighter and tighter. Finally, with a puff, a good glass of glass was crushed by him!
Luo Daonan on the right was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground. He thought to himself that Meng Hu was too fucking fierce, right? He didn't take Meng Yan, the love rival, seriously at all.
Zhao Qinghan's little girl was also cruel. In order to cut off Meng Yan's thoughts, she actually hugged Meng Hu in public. She was so stingy and was just like her mother. Didn't Zhao Qinghan's mother also be attracted by the current emperor? But Zhao Qinghan's mother was like Zhao Qinghan today, and she actually hooked up with Zhao Yue in front of the current emperor at a banquet.
Hey, this is really a mother and a daughter.
After being surprised, Luo Daonan smiled secretly in his heart.
If things go like this, it will be difficult for Meng Hu to die. Zhao Yue is still the Duke of the West, but what are you? Zhao Yue can compete for women with the current emperor, but why do you compete for women with Meng Yan?
"Bang!"
Meng Yan couldn't bear it anymore and threw the pieces of the wine glass in his hand on the ground, then stood up and left.
Shi Miyuan and Pu Sanzhi quickly stood up and accused Luo Daonan and others of the crime, and then followed him. Han Feng and others naturally would not stay anymore and left one after another. In less than a moment, the guards' members left and were completely clean, and they could not have a good reception banquet.
