Chapter 109 Tiger Army

Meng Ke hesitated for a while and said, "Emperor, as far as I know, although Meng Hu is a little capable, he is arrogant and rebellious, and he is afraid it is difficult to take on important tasks."

"No." Meng Yuan waved his hand and said solemnly, "It is precisely because Meng Hu is arrogant and domineering and unruly that he can use it with confidence. If Meng Hu acts low-key and tolerate everything but cannot use it, second brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Meng Ke pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."

"Just understand." Meng Yuan nodded and said, "Although I was unconscious in bed for two months, my eyes were not blind, my ears were not deaf, and my mind was not stupid. Since Meng Hu was born, I have already understood all kinds of things that happened in the western provinces. I believe in my judgment."

Meng Ke said solemnly: "My brother respectfully listen to the emperor's will."

Meng Yuan said in a narrow voice: "You will draft an edict in my name later. Fei Ge sent a message to Xiling and summon Meng Hu to Beijing. If Meng Hu is summoned, he will be dismissed. If Meng Hu is not summoned, he will be ordered Shi Miyuan to kill him on the spot. The soldiers of the Western Army will also be assisted by the solemn Northwest Army in Meng Yan's Guards Army on the spot!"

Meng Ke felt awe-inspiring in his heart, thinking that the emperor's brother is the emperor's brother, and no one can compare to this killing decision!

Meng Yuan seemed to realize something, turned around and asked in a harmonious voice: "Do you think I am cruel?"

Meng Ke hurriedly said, "I have no such idea."

"Oh." Meng Yuan suddenly sighed and said, "I have no choice. If Meng Hu is unwilling to be summoned to Beijing, it means that he already has the idea of ​​having troops to stand up and stand up. With this person's reputation in the hearts of the soldiers of the Western Legion, he just needs to climb a high place and shout, and he will gather people. For the long-term stability of the empire, I must kill him!"

Meng Yuan said solemnly: "My brother understands the emperor's difficulties."

"Just understand."

A bitter smile flashed across Meng Yuan's old and thin face, and then said, "If Meng Hu is willing to enter Beijing, he cannot act rashly. The reconstruction of the Western Legion must be carried out step by step. The candidates of officers at all levels of the Legion should be selected from the original soldiers of the Western Legion as much as possible. Meng Yan is not allowed to interfere in order to avoid causing trouble."

Meng Ke thought about it and asked again: "Emperor brother, how should I try Meng Hu after he entered the capital?"

"Good question." Meng Yuan said in a voice, "This is the key to the problem. After Meng Hu entered Beijing, you should carefully observe his words and deeds. If he is still as arrogant and rebellious as he was in the western provinces, that would be right, which means he has something to rely on, but he has no ambitions. If he changes his previous temper and becomes cautious and tolerant of everything after he arrives in the imperial capital, it means that he is a very ambitious person and should be killed immediately!"

Meng Ke responded respectfully: "My brother received the order."

After saying this, the cold and solemn expression on Mengyuan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by Maimei's affection. Then he took Meng Ke's hands and sat down on the dragon chaise, saying with regret: "Second brother, this may be the last long talk between you and me, alas..."

Meng Ke hurriedly knelt in front of the dragon chaise and said tremblingly: "Brother, you are in good spirits, you will be fine."

"Second brother." Meng Yuan helped Meng Ke up again, a trace of tranquility that could see through life and death appeared on his face, and said, "Life and death are the most normal things in the world. I have already seen through it. While there is still some time, I still have a few family matters to explain to you."

Meng Ke said in tears: "Listen, brother."

Meng Yuan said: "This is the one thing I have. Don't make a funeral after I die, so as not to let those villains move when they hear the news and shake the foundation of the empire. You must wait until Yan'er returns from Xiling to make a funeral. The second thing is that after I die, I will leave two wills. One is an edict to pass the throne to Yan'er, and the other is to enthrone you as the wise king of the auxiliary country, and have the power to reject the emperor's imperial edict in the palace."

Meng Ke said panic: "Brother, this is not possible. I will never dare to accept it."

Meng Yuan sighed and said, "The second brother doesn't need to refuse. Yan'er has good abilities in all aspects, but why hasn't I appointed him as the crown prince for a long time? It's because he is too frivolous and only knows how to talk big but does not know how to be down-to-earth. In the future, after he ascended the throne and became emperor, if there is no one who is strong and capable enough to assist the government, he will definitely cause a big deal. And this person is the second brother, you are the second brother."

Meng Ke could no longer control the bitterness in his heart and cried: "Brother..."

Xiling, the partial office of the Governor's Office.

The four division commanders of the Western Legion have been tentatively determined. Meng Yan and his team came one step late, and it would be a bit unreasonable to raise objections. However, Shi Miyuan, who was treacherous and sloppy, still made an excuse and proposed to second the veterans and officers of the Guards Army to enrich the Western Legion.

After listening to Shi Miyuan's proposal, He Qing, who was outspoken, immediately stood up and retorted: "Mr. Shi and the Guards' Corps' kindness are appreciated by all the soldiers of our Western Corps, but our Western Corps does not lack veterans who have experienced many battles and excellent officers who command wars, so there is no need to worry about it."

"whispering sound."

As soon as He Qing finished speaking, Lin Tu, the commander of the Second Division of the Guards, sneered, "Just 10,000 new recruits from your 4th Division, dare to claim to be veterans who have experienced many battles? How long have you been a soldier? How many battles have you fought in total? I really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Bai Xi, who has never spoken much, suddenly said: "Our Fourth Division has indeed been rebuilt for a short time, but who stipulates that if you can't become a veteran if you have a short term of service? As far as I know, there is only one standard for whether you can be considered a qualified veteran, that is, whether you have participated in actual combat. As long as you are a soldier who comes out of actual combat, you are a qualified veteran."

Zhou Jin also stood up and said unabashedly, "After the reconstruction of the Fourth Division, we participated in many wars, only dozens of large and small, and we annihilated enemies. We only had more than 100,000 Mingyue Imperial Army in total. General Lin believes that the soldiers of our Fourth Division have been in the army for a short time, and it is understandable that fewer battles have been involved in battles and not many enemies are killed enough."

"you……"

Lin Tu was furious when he heard this, but he was unable to get angry.

Although Zhou Jin's words are full of irony, they are all facts. The Fourth Division is indeed a recruit division that has been rebuilt for a short time. However, when it comes to the war resumes of the Fourth Division in the past two months, it is incredibly brilliant. Of course, most of this is due to the Fifth Regiment led by Meng Hu.

Park Sanzhi smiled slightly and stood up and said, "All the soldiers of our Guards are very impressed by the glorious record of the Fourth Division. However, as far as I know, the one who annihilated tens of thousands of enemies in battles with the enemy should be the Tiger Regiment led by General Meng Hu? The other four regiments of the Fourth Division seem to have only participated in the Hexi Breakthrough Battle and the Xiling Defense Battle. Oh, if the Sanjiang Chasing Battle is counted, it should have been three times."

When talking about the Sanjiang chase, Park Sanzhi deliberately increased his tone. He Qing, Zhou Jin and Bai Xi's faces were immediately very embarrassed. Even Meng Hu, who was sitting in the top, changed his face slightly. He thought to himself that Park Sanzhi's intentions were very sinister, and this was torture the relationship between the Tigers and the other four wings.

Sure enough, as soon as Park Sanzhi finished speaking, Han Feng said: "It is well known to everyone in the entire empire that the brilliant record of the Tigers is. No matter who it is, you have to give a thumbs up when it comes to Tigers. It is perfect for the officers of the Western Legion to be transferred from the veterans of the Tigers."

Zhan Ying and He Qing were so angry that their faces turned pale, and they could no longer speak.

Meng Hu could only smile bitterly in his heart. At this time, he could not stand up and speak, otherwise it would appear hypocritical. Zhan Ying and the others might not be able to accept his affection. After all, Park Sanzhi and Han Feng were all telling the truth. The more Meng Hu spoke for Zhan Ying and the others, the more they would feel ashamed.

When Meng Hu was lamenting that he could not whistle, Zhao Qinghan suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Sanzhi and General Han may not know that there is no Tiger Regiment in the Western Legion. From then on, there will be only Tiger Regiment and no Tiger Regiment anymore. As for the more than 600 veterans of the original Tiger Regiment, they will also be organized into the four divisions under the Tiger Regiment. As for the heavy responsibilities these veterans should bear, the four acting division commanders including Zhan Ying have already made arrangements."

After hearing Zhao Qinghan's words, the faces of Zhan Ying and the other four improved slightly, not as embarrassed as before.

The faces of Park Sanzhi, Shi Miyuan and others suddenly sank. They originally wanted to unravel the relationship between Meng Hu and the four Zhan Yings, but they didn't expect that Zhao Qinghan's words were eliminated and beaten and resolved the invisible situation. They also blocked the gate of the veterans of the Guards Army into the Western Legion. Didn't Han Feng say just now? It's natural that veterans of the Tigers United serve as officers at all levels in the Western Legion. Now that they really have this arrangement, what else do you have to say?

The most important person among all was Meng Hu. If it weren't for the fact that in front of everyone, Meng Hu really wanted to hold Zhao Qinghan and kiss her a few times.

Shi Miyuan felt that it would be impossible to change anything if he stayed, so he winked at Meng Yan.

Meng Yan became more and more angry when he thought about it. He didn't say hello, and turned around and left with a muffled groan. Han Feng, Lin Tu and more than a dozen generals of the Guards also stood up and followed Yang Chang away. Only Shi Miyuan and Pu Sanzhi greeted Zhao Qinghan, Meng Hu and others before leaving.

Meng Yan returned to the camp outside the city, couldn't help but suppress the burning anger in his heart, and shouted sternly: "Han Feng, Lin Tu!"

Han Feng and Lin Tu rushed forward and clasped their fists and replied: "I'm in the position of humble profession!"
