Only he knows how many people a bunch of idiots have scolded.
Long Xiu thought he was scolding the princes who suppressed the rebellion, "Whether it's a hero or a idiot, the situation is like this. Is Nanzhou prepared to just sit back and watch?"
Niu Youdao pretended not to understand, and said righteously: "Palace Master, don't worry, the food and grass will be sent to Dingzhou quickly, and the war will not be delayed."
Realizing that this guy was pretending to be confused with him, Long Xiu raised his eyebrows. At this point, if the battle was lost, would it be useless to ask for food and grass, but to use it to support the enemy? He said in a deep voice: "There are no unbroken eggs when the nest is overturned. Even if it is for yourself, the people of Nanzhou should do their part, unless Nanzhou has different intentions towards the Yan Kingdom."
Niu Youdao said solemnly: "The palace master has made a serious statement. Prince Yongping County is a member of the royal family. If he has any dissatisfaction with anyone, he will not have dissatisfaction with the Yan Kingdom."
Long Xiu: "In other words, you agreed to send troops to Nanzhou?"
"Uh..." Niu Youdao became vague again and said: "I don't have anything to say about sending troops. I don't understand things like fighting. It still depends on what Prince Yongping wants."
Long Xiu frowned coldly: "Don't do this with me. Since I'm here today, I just want you to say a word. Do you agree or not to send troops to quell the rebellion in Nanzhou?"
Niu Youdao seemed to be forced into a corner, and he sighed and said: "Palace Master, you are a sensible person. You know best in your heart that Shang Jianxiong is not a good thing. He wanted to put me to death last time. You still want to He destroyed my Nanzhou, and now I am asked to go to Nanzhou to fight for him. Isn’t it a bit unjustifiable?”
Guan Fangyi on the side was playing with a round fan in her hand and watching Niu Youdao's performance quietly. She knew that this man had been ready to send troops for a long time, and everything he did was to put down the Nanzhou rebellion as soon as possible, but now he Seeing him pretending and prevaricating here, I have the urge to roll my eyes.
After staying with this person for a long time, I somehow felt that there was nothing to fear from a person of Long Xiu's level.
Long Xiu: "It has nothing to do with Shang Jianxiong now. What we are protecting is the State of Yan. Private grudges must be put aside. Only by uniting with the outside world can we be true!"
Niu Youdao spread his hands and said, "We think so, but some people may not think so. To be honest, in my opinion, Wu Gongling and his like are just a mob, and it is easy to wipe them out, but this is not a matter of any individual family. Just as the palace owner said, we need to put aside our personal grudges and speak to the outside world in unison. Well, I sent troops from Nanzhou to help Yan State wipe out the rebellion. After fighting to the death, my vitality was severely damaged, and only a defeated soldier was left. Returning sadly, looking back, could Shang Jianxiong miss this opportunity to attack Nanzhou people? Killing you while you are sick is probably what he wants to do in a hurry. This is definitely something that may happen. How dare Nanzhou dare to do so easily? send troops?"
The following words were not what Long Xiu considered. What he was interested in was Niu Youdao's words, 'It's easy to wipe out the mob.' Yan, I guarantee that you will never let Shang Jianxiong act rashly!"
Niu Youdao sneered in his heart, Shang Jianxiong has an army of millions. If we really have to force it by then, can you guarantee it? Can you kill Shang Jianxiong or arrest Shang Jianxiong
I was thinking in my heart, but I said something else, "Although the rebels are a ragtag group, they have now gathered two million people. Does the palace want to let the Nanzhou family go to quell the rebellion?"
Naturally, Long Xiu would not say this, "Of course there are other people from all walks of life who will cooperate."
Niu Youdao: "Just those people who will be defeated at the first touch, let them cooperate?"
If they are not allowed to cooperate, who else can be allowed to cooperate? Long Xiu couldn't find anyone else, and his face darkened, "After all that, you just don't want Nanzhou to send troops, right?"
Niu Youdao hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "To be honest, I really don't want to send troops. Even if Nanzhou is over, I can't find a way out. Since the palace master Fajia has come in person and has reached this point, if I don't send troops anymore It's a bit ignorant. But I still want to make it clear whether I send troops or not. It's not that I don't want to send troops, but I will do it if I don't send troops. Once I send troops, I will win. If I know that I will lose, sending this troops will be in vain. Is there any point in going to die?"
After talking a lot, but still not understanding whether he was going to come out or not, Long Xiu asked: "What do you want to say?"
Niu Youdao: "As the palace master said, we must put aside our personal grudges and deal with the outside world unanimously! If we want to win, the princes including Nanzhou must work together. If the six princes work together, why worry that the rebels cannot be destroyed? "
If we can work together, what else can I ask you for? Long Xiu slandered and said: "If we want to work together, you have to send troops from Nanzhou. If Nanzhou doesn't send troops, if you hide in Nanzhou and don't go out, how can we talk about working together?"
Niu Youdao: "What I mean by working together is unified orders. How can we work together if we are each fighting alone?"
Long Xiu's eyes flickered and he said, "What kind of unified command method?"
Niu Youdao: "For example, if you give the military power of the Grand Sima of Yan State, the king of Yongping County, with this military power, it is natural to unify the orders!"
Long Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "Don't have a big appetite, or you will burst to death!"
Niu Youdao: "How can we give orders without military power, and how can the princes obey them?"
Long Xiu: "Don't talk nonsense anymore. Don't you know the relationship between Shang Jianxiong and Shang Chaozong? Shang Jianxiong finally took back the military power from King Ning, how could he hand it over to King Ning's son again? Do you think about this? Don’t even think about it!”
Niu Youdao: "How do you know that the imperial court will not agree if you don't give it a try? I guess the imperial court will definitely agree, and it will only take a day or two to send troops. If the palace master really hopes to successfully suppress the rebellion, he might as well ask the imperial court to give it a try! "
"Oh?" Long Xiu didn't know where he got this confidence, but he knew he was extraordinary. There must be a reason for saying this, and he wanted to see what was going on.
The negotiation ended here for the time being, and Long Xiu immediately sent a summons back to the capital to wait for the court's reply.
As for Long Xiu himself, he had no intention of leaving for the time being and stayed at the Maolu Villa for the time being, naturally to wait for the court's reply. At this juncture, if Shang Jianxiong and his gang agreed to hand over military power, he would have no objection.
At the critical moment of Yan's life and death, for the three major factions, it is no longer important who is in charge. What is important is to protect the interests of the three major factions and prevent the three major factions from capsizing together.
After Long Xiu was settled, everyone else left the yard where Long Xiu was.
After following Niu Youdao out, Guan Fangyi asked in a low voice, "Will the imperial court really hand over the military power of Da Sima?"
Niu Youdao, who was walking with his sword, sneered, "It would be weird to hand it over!"
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "Then you still insist on this?"
"This thing is actually the same as your business, except that this business is relatively large. You have to ask for prices all over the sky and sit on the floor to counter-offer. If you offer a low price, others will have to lower the price. Besides, they are the ones who are worried now, let them It doesn’t matter how urgent it is.”
…
"I object to this, and I will never agree to this matter!"
In the imperial study room of Yanjing, the news came. After being conveyed by Gong Lince and Meng Xuan, Shang Jianxiong immediately called the three important ministers over for discussion.
When he heard that he wanted the power of Grand Sima, Shang Yongzhong, the Grand Sima, twitched slightly.
Tong Mo frowned, but before he could say anything, Gao Jiancheng was the first to jump out and strongly object, holding his neck. His voice was so loud that everyone present looked at him.
Shang Jianxiong pressed his hand and said, "We are still discussing."
Gao Jiancheng said angrily: "Your Majesty, this is nothing to discuss. I forgive you for being brave. The power of Da Sima can be given to anyone, but not to the Shang Dynasty. Has Your Majesty forgotten the troubles of King Ning? Do you want another person to appear? A Prince Ning? In my opinion, this Shang Chaozong is more ambitious than Prince Ning. We must not give him the military power of Da Sima. Once it is given to him, it will be a disaster for Great Yan. If your Majesty agrees, I will I hit my head and died in front of His Majesty!" His face turned red.
Tong Mo glanced sideways at this person and found that this person's mood was a bit wrong and he was not as mature as before.
Shang Yongzhong naturally looked at him with admiration. Gao Jiancheng was trying to protect his position. How could he be unhappy? Even if he, the great Sikong, is just a decoration, his salary, status and some right to speak are at least not something he can escape from, so they cannot be easily lost.
Shang Jianxiong pressed his hand again and said kindly, "Da Situ, don't be excited. I didn't say that I would agree. I just discussed how to deal with it."
He was not annoyed at all by Gao Jiancheng's gaffe. Gao Jiancheng's strong opposition made him feel comfortable, and he could see that this veteran minister was definitely on his side.
Tong Mo said: "The current problem is that Nanzhou urgently needs to send troops. Nanzhou takes this as a condition. If the court is stuck, Nanzhou will have reason not to send troops."
Gao Jiancheng immediately stared at him, "According to Da Sikong's wishes, could it be that we just agreed to him like this?"
Tong Mo glanced coldly, "Master Gao, don't say too much. Which of your ears heard that I agreed? What we are discussing now is how to deal with it, not letting you vent your emotions here. Who can't roar? Solve the problem?" There was a harsh rebuke in his tone.
After being warned by him, Gao Jiancheng's mood immediately became much better. He was obviously a little afraid of Tong Mo, but he still handed over to Shang Jianxiong and said: "Your Majesty, the position of Grand Sima cannot be given easily. The impact is huge. Once given, there will be no fault." It cannot be dismissed easily. The military power of the Yan State is not a child's play. It cannot be given to him to play with and then taken back. If this is the case, what will become of the position of Grand Sima? First of all, the general strategy has been decided. The heavy troops on the border cannot be retreated easily. All that is needed now is to pacify Cang. The state rebels only want him to quell the rebellion, so why should they give him the military power of the entire Yan State?"
His words reminded Tong Mo, and he handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if Nanzhou is really sincere in countering the rebellion, just grant him the position of temporary counterinsurgency general. He will only be given the power to command the counterinsurgency. It depends on whether he agrees or not. If he refuses to agree, it means that he is not sincere and has other motives, so that he can silence the three major factions."
"I object!" Gao Jiancheng raised his hand and said, "Given him this power, if he really succeeds in suppressing the rebellion, the impact will be huge and the consequences will be endless!"
Shang Chaozong frowned, and what he said was exactly what he was worried about.
Tong Mo retorted sternly, "Then what do you think we should do? Is it really like what Wu Gongling's traitor boasted, allowing him to sweep across Dayan? Master Gao, what we have to do now is to solve urgent needs, not to act on impulse. Da Sima is ranked among the three princes, so you can't do it. It is easy to abolish the establishment, but the position of counterinsurgency general is temporary and can be taken away at any time. Afterwards, an order can be issued immediately to remove the word "counterinsurgency", thus taking away his counterinsurgency command power and making him the leader. So what about the false reputation of the general? Besides, do you think that the five princes can really work together and obey his orders? What we have to do now is to trick him into sending troops and let him fight the rebels. He must first curb the decline of the war before he can make plans. From now on, otherwise everything will be out of the question!" The tone was sonorous and powerful.
