Internal and external troubles
Going to the war is an imperative thing.
The next morning, everyone gathered at the city gate early, led by Meng Cangyun and Qiqi personally led the army to the army. All the people in the city ran to the street to see each other off. The scene was quite spectacular.
The army left Sangcheng in a mighty manner and headed towards Licheng.
When Hu Yanbing received the news, a letter from His Highness Sangcheng also arrived, saying that they were invited to rush back to Licheng together. In fact, where was the invitation? It was simply a forced force. At this time, where was their turn to choose?
Unexpectedly, he had just signed a peace agreement with one of His Highness's husbands. In a blink of an eye, he had to send troops so soon. Hu Yanbing was still worried about not knowing how to appease the soldiers, and the pressure was already overwhelming.
This guy, Hu Yanbing, was in a hurry. That guy, the army from Mengdu outside the city, heard that Hu Yanbing had set out towards Licheng with the army of Sangcheng, and he was still a little hesitant, and he was sure of it.
Attacking Mengdu and overthrowing Mengjiyue's tyranny, it is not that they have a firm will, but that everyone has no choice at all.
Even General Huyan has surrendered, what are they still sticking to?
What's more, there was a clear news that the leader of the Sangcheng army was His Majesty Cang Yun, and her biological daughter, the young master who had been lost for many years.
The Meng Clan originally belonged to His Majesty Cang Yun. If Meng Shiyue had not launched a mutiny twenty years ago, used conspiracy to seize the throne of the Queen of the Meng Clan, and then forced His Majesty Cang Yun out of the imperial city, the world would have been Meng Cang Yun's world.
This time she came back just to eliminate the traitors, restore the Meng clan, and get her own country. Now she has the help of Qicheng, which is legitimate and there is nothing wrong with it.
They are the real Meng royal family. If they are enemies of her, they are enemies of the entire Meng clan.
Once this pressure is suppressed, it will take only one or two days to pass. The remaining troops who have not made a decision have also chosen to surrender under heavy pressure.
The army of seven cities has sent troops to Mengdu, and the troops from Mengdu were turned against each other. Now, the entire Mengdu, even in the north, even the north, is echoed by Meng Xiaoyue's army, and the inside and outside of the generals in the west.
Now the whole dream is full of internal and external troubles, and the generals defending the city in each city are worried. They don’t know whether the city gate can be defended, or whether or not they need to be guarded.
When the news came back to the imperial city, it was the second evening when Murong Qiqi and his friends left Sangcheng and set out for Licheng.
In a hurry, their Queen is still in the back garden, eating, drinking and having fun with the attendants and the daughters of the ministers.
The palace was arranged in a more magnificent manner according to Meng Shiyue's instructions. The treasury that had been deficient was used by her to squander everywhere. Not only did she build the most gorgeous wine pool and meat forest according to the ancients, but she also ordered people to go to Mengdu to find various delicacies. The entire palace is now in a mess because of Meng Shiyue's extravagance.
If there is something that everyone is pleased with, that is, she is not very interested in the various handsome men in the attendants and the harem, and she is not lustful, and she does not expect that she will send all kinds of handsome men in the world to the palace as before.
Her Majesty the Queen has changed her temper. She doesn't love handsome men, but instead falls in love with fresh things and various delicacies. However, these changes still cannot drive away the fear and anxiety that the soldiers who are scattered at the city bring to everyone.
Lord Junji and Master Shu guarded outside the gate of Zhaixing Hall early in the morning and had been waiting here for more than two hours, but Her Majesty the Queen was still unwilling to meet.
After midnight, the two of them made up their minds and could only kneel down with their legs, saying that there was something important to ask to see Her Majesty the Queen.
There were chaos outside, but Her Majesty the Queen was reluctant to see them even when she saw them. Is this imperial city still in the end?
Not to mention the two ministers were worried, even the attendants in the palace, even if they were having fun with the daughter-in-law, everyone knew in their hearts that if they continued like this, they would be afraid that Mengdu would lose all cities and even the imperial city would fall.
By then, all of them will suffer.
However, no one dared to persuade him. As long as he advised His Majesty to deal with the government, if His Majesty is unhappy, he would order someone to kill them on the spot. Several servants had died before, so how could anyone dare to say more?
His Majesty asked them to laugh, but they could only laugh with them. His Majesty asked them to lie down and learn to bark, but no one dared to resist. Sometimes His Majesty even had a whim, thinking of those cruel and fresh things, he would also order some ministers' daughters to take off their feet and jump into the lake. When they were drowned and dying, they would rescue them and carry out some rescue.
Some people cannot bear the humiliation. After being drawn, they would rather hit the stone pillar and die than be stripped naked to accept the torture. In the end, everyone will not be rescued and will still die.
One cruel and bloody game after another is prevalent in the palace. Where can anyone be willing to come from the children of those ministers?
However, all the rest of the palace were attendants, and Her Majesty the Queen thought it was not fun and insisted that the ministers send the young people in the family to her for entertainment.
If anyone fails to follow, the dead soldiers from the palace will break into the mansion, kill all the people, and burn the entire mansion with fire.
In just less than ten days, there were no one knowing how many people died in the imperial city. Everyone was anxious. Minister of Military Affairs and Secretary of the Ministry of Justice were pushed out again and again. For the sake of this country, they could only face the danger of being sentenced to death by Her Majesty the Queen on the spot. They came outside the Zhaixing Hall again and again to ask for a meeting.
Just like every time in the past, Meng Shiyue still didn't want to see them. The two of them knelt from midnight until dawn. Finally, they finally waited for the summoning of Her Majesty the Queen this time.
When the two entered the door, Meng Shiyue was drinking and having fun with the servants in the pavilion in the backyard.
It was just morning. She had already started a new round of fun, but she ignored the national affairs.
Seeing the two people brought by the waiter, she glanced at them impatiently, her voice seemed very hoarse when she drank too much. She said hoarsely: "If you have anything to do, hurry up and say it, I don't have so much spare time to listen to you nonsense."
The two looked at each other and both knelt down in front of her. His Majesty called it nonsense by the major military affairs. They didn't care and didn't dare to care.
Master Junji took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I have received the news that the army from the seven cities and the traitors Hu Yanbing are now coming to each city. The army of Sangcheng is only two days away from Licheng. In two days, I am afraid that the troops will come to the city... I will come here to ask Your Majesty for instructions."
Meng Shiyue glanced at the two of them lazily again, then withdrew her gaze and continued to drink her wine.
Both of them kept waiting, and they waited again. This time it was two more incense sticks.
In the end, the two couldn't help it. Lord Shangshu also said: "Your Majesty, Licheng will face the pressure of the Sangcheng army in two days. With the remaining troops in Licheng now, I am afraid that Licheng's current remaining troops will not be enough to resist. I hope that Your Majesty can dispatch troops from the imperial city to help the Licheng army defend the city gate."
In fact, the heavy troops were still guarding the barracks outside the imperial city. Meng Shiyue was cautious in his past work. Over the years, he had already cultivated the strongest army and guarded everywhere outside the imperial city.
Now that the military talisman is in the hands of Her Majesty the Queen, she doesn't move, and no one can mobilize those troops. There are also the dead soldiers trained by Her Majesty the Queen over the years, which are all a strong army. As long as Her Majesty the Queen mobilizes the troops, Licheng still has a little chance to defend.
Meng Shiyue said lazily: "How many troops do you need to mobilize to help you to save Licheng?"
Hearing this, the two of them had their eyebrows lit up, and a glimmer of hope finally rose in their hearts.
The Minister of Military Affairs hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, now you can send 800 miles of express letters to Qingyue City. First, let the generals of Qingyue City dispatch 100,000 troops to Licheng to help. Your Majesty will send 200,000 troops to help. Licheng will definitely be able to defend it."
"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Meng Shiyue frowned, thought for a while before asking again: "How many troops do I have outside the imperial city? Do you think it will be for me."
The two looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with endless chills. His Majesty didn't even know how many troops he had. How could he fight this battle?
Lord Jun Ji had no choice but to say truthfully: "There is a 500,000 army of Your Majesty and a 100,000 dead soldiers outside the imperial city. The combat power of the dead soldiers is several times stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. These 100,000 dead soldiers are enough to compete with the 500,000 army."
"That means there is an army of one million?" Meng Shiyue frowned, calculated her fingers, and said unhappily: "One Licheng City will take away my 200,000 army. How much force do I have left? What if other cities also come to borrow soldiers, how many soldiers can I have to lend them?"
She waved her hand and said impatiently: "Get out of here, don't stay here to upset me. Transfer all the troops in Qingyue City to Licheng, and the rest of the cities are the same. No soldiers from all the cities will be left, and I will concentrate all the surrounding cities. If they can't defend, let them all come to see me."
"Your Majesty!" The two of them were anxious and looked up at her. The Minister of State immediately said, "Your Majesty, the heavy troops are all in the imperial city, and the surrounding cities are not large. If all the troops are dispatched, once the border city is lost, the opponent's army will be as if they enter the uninhabited realm and approach the imperial city."
"Then let them fight with my people. I have a million troops here. Will I be afraid of them?" Meng Shiyue said disapprovingly.
When Lord Shangshu heard this, he was shocked and said in fear: "Your Majesty..."
