The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys

Bianliang.

Within the palace.

Su Qingjue was still sitting on the platform under the throne.

Below it, King Yang Pu of Wu and King Meng Zhixiang of Shu sat on both sides.

There were fine wine and delicious food placed in front of the three people, and palace maids were beside them adding wine and serving them food.

Su Qingjue raised the glass cup and said in a deep voice: "The first cup is to thank the King of Wu and the King of Shu for helping me to attack Liang. If the two kings had not been there to contain the Liang army in the southeast and southwest, I would not have been able to capture Bianzhou so easily."

As he spoke, Su Qingjue drank the wine in the glass.

The King of Wu and the King of Shu quickly responded by picking up their glasses and drinking the wine in them.

Meng Zhixiang laughed and said, "General, you are too kind. Although we have not been there in person, we have all heard that the general is so powerful that he killed Zhu Youzhen and Li Cunxu one after another. Even the King of Jin, Li Keyong, could not escape the general's clutches."

"Yes!" Yang Pu responded.

"Thinking back to those days, Shatuo Li Ya'er was so heroic, and the Shatuo army he led was even more famous and feared by the world."

"I never thought he would end up like this. What a pity. It's really fate!"

"Oh?" Su Qingjue asked doubtfully, "The King of Wu actually feels sorry for Li Keyong?"

Upon hearing this, King Meng Zhixiang of Shu quickly gave Yang Pu a look.

Yang Pu also realized instantly that he had said the wrong thing.

He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "General, that's not what I meant. I was just lamenting the hero's old age."

Yang Pu was worried, but he felt relieved when he saw that Su Qingjue did not blame him.

What he just said was actually from his heart.

He did feel sorry for Li Keyong.

After all, Li Keyong and he were from the same era, and both had stirred up trouble in the Central Plains.

Now, after knowing that Li Keyong was easily wiped out by Su Qingjue, Yang Pu felt more or less grieving for the loss of his loved one.

Yang Pu knew it very well.

Although Su Qingjue has occupied Bianzhou, he will never stop there.

Destroying Daliang and conquering Jin was only the first step in realizing his lofty ambitions.

The next step is probably to take action against these Fanzhen princes.

Although today's banquet was nominally held to celebrate the successful attack on Liang and to welcome them, it was actually not much different from the Hongmen Banquet.

If they fail to handle it properly, he and Meng Zhixiang might end up like Li Keyong.

"King Wu, King Shu, what do you think of the world today?" Su Qingjue did not hide anything.

"Here it comes!" Yang Pu's face changed slightly, and he fell silent without saying a word.

Meng Zhixiang also raised his glass to drink without answering.

Su Qingjue took in every move and expression of the two.

Just as Yang Pu thought, his original intention of hosting a banquet for the two princes today was to make them surrender.

Since he wanted to unify the world, he wanted to take over Wu and Shu as well.

Even though these two people had helped him to capture Liang, he should not give up his ultimate goal just because of this.

Besides, he had saved Meng Zhixiang's life, so it was fair.

As for King Wu Yang Pu, you can have a good talk with him.

Logically speaking, Yang Pu should be very clear about this.

The Wu Kingdom alone could not stop him.

Even the most powerful State of Jin was defeated by him.

Now the State of Jin is leaderless, and the country is probably in chaos.

Su Qingjue raised his glass and smiled: "Why don't you say anything, both of you?"

"In this case, let me talk about my thoughts first."

"The general trend of the world is that long-term division will eventually lead to unification, and long-term unification will eventually lead to division!"

"Although the fall of the Tang Dynasty is imminent, since Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, wars have continued throughout the Central Plains. Countless people have been displaced and suffered terribly..."

Meng Zhixiang put down his wine glass, sighed and said, "General, if you want to say something, you might as well say it directly."

Su Qingjue hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Then I'll say it clearly."

"I want to inherit the legacy of the Tang Dynasty and create a new dynasty. Are you willing to help me?"

Although they had already anticipated the purpose of Su Qingjue's banquet, Meng Zhixiang and Yang Pu still found it difficult to accept when they heard him put it so concisely.

The two fell into a long silence.

Seeing this, Su Qingjue just continued drinking, giving them enough time to think about it.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Even the maids who were pouring wine for Meng Zhixiang and Yang Pu noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Meng Zhixiang held the wine glass and stared at the bottom of the glass through the wine.

In fact, he had imagined a scene like today as early as when Su Qingjue proposed to attack Liang.

However, at that time, he did not know how strong Su Qingjue was, nor did he expect that Su Qingjue could capture Bianzhou so easily and even kill the King of Jin.

His idea at that time was very simple. On the one hand, he wanted to repay Su Qingjue for saving his life. On the other hand, after working with Qi and Wu to destroy Daliang, he could divide the world into three parts, which would be profitable for him.

however.

At this moment, Meng Zhixiang understood that it was impossible to divide the world into three parts.

With Su Qingjue's ability and ambition, he would definitely not agree to this idea.

Not only that, Su Qingjue directly revealed his intention, wanting him and the King of Wu to surrender.

Meng Zhixiang is different from Yang Pu. Yang Pu is old and his ambition is no longer as strong as before.

But Meng Zhixiang is now in his prime and has great ambitions. How could he be willing to surrender?

Meng Zhixiang wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Su Qingjue would attack him in anger.

So I can only use the tactic of "delay" first.

I plan to delay it first, and then refuse when he returns to the army and has a certain ability to fight back.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhixiang said in a deep voice: "General, this matter is of great importance. Can we go back and think about it carefully?"

Su Qingjue knew very well what Meng Zhixiang was thinking.

He smiled and shook his head: "King Shu, there is actually no need to delay some things."

"I'm hosting a banquet today because I want to have a good talk with you two."

"Let's use courtesy before force!"

"You two might as well think about it. Is there anyone in Wu and Shu who can stop me?"

Meng Zhixiang shook his head. He knew that what Su Qingjue said was true.

Given the opponent's strength, even if he escaped back to the army or to Shu, he would still be doomed to death.

"Ugh......"

Meng Zhixiang sighed and felt like he was on a pirate ship.

He realized that perhaps from the day he set foot in Qi, his and Shu's fate had been determined.

Although I am unwilling, there is nothing I can do.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Meng Zhixiang stood up first and walked to the center of the palace under Yang Pu's surprised gaze.

He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "General, I am willing to help you achieve your great cause!"

Su Qingjue nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, I can also promise that after the establishment of the new dynasty, the status of the King of Shu will remain unchanged."

"But...your throne cannot be hereditary!"

Meng Zhixiang knew that this was the best outcome.

"Thank you, General."

After saying that, Meng Zhixiang returned to his seat and continued drinking.

Compared to Yang Pu who was feeling extremely uneasy, he now felt extremely relaxed.

Since he had made the decision to submit to Su Qingjue, his ambitions naturally disappeared.

Now, he just wanted to return to Shu, travel around with his beloved concubine, and enjoy life.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhixiang drank the wine in the glass, then smiled and said to the maid beside him: "Fill it up!"

There is a saying that describes his mood at the moment very aptly.

"As soon as a thought arises, the world becomes wider!"
