Su Qitong did not understand it before, but now he really understood it. He hesitated and asked: "What does Elder Shi mean?"
Shi Sheng said: "If the Shang Dynasty Zong ordered your Haozhou troops to go forward, do you really want to charge forward and fight regardless of the life and death of the brothers below? I won't talk about you, let's talk about the other four princes. Shang Chaozong gave such an order. , will anyone listen? If others don’t listen, you will sacrifice your life? Have you ever thought that many of your brothers have families and families, and how many family members are looking forward to their sons, husbands, fathers and brothers returning home safely as soon as possible? You As a coach, you should be responsible for everyone and don’t act emotionally!”
What he said was reasonable, and he was indeed sincere. Su Qitong confirmed what he meant, but some reasons cannot be used like this. He still hesitated and said: "Elder Shi, Shang Chaozong went to war with his father when he was young, isn't it? Decoration. Meng Shanming is a man who has strict military orders and must carry out his orders. He has always been strict in running the army. Anyone who dares to disobey his military orders will not get good results! "
"Rule the army with strict discipline?" Shi Sheng chuckled, as if he heard a joke, "Is Haozhou's army his army? Is it his turn to rule it? If he wants to rule it, he must rule his own army. The five princes and their troops, Just wait and see who will listen to him."
Su Qitong frowned, "In that case, why does the imperial court need to give him the military power to command the princes and their troops?"
Shi Sheng raised his hand and patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Qitong, do you really think that the court is willing to give him this military power? It is a last resort. Nanzhou wants to fight for it. In order to let him send troops, we have to give it to him." Sigh."
Su Qitong was suspicious: "You didn't communicate well with the three major factions, and sent troops without confirming that the princes would cooperate. Is it just for a gimmick?"
Shi Sheng waved his hand, "It's not a gimmick. Who would do something that doesn't benefit? He wants to be the general who put down the rebellion, so he wants to take the lead. According to the palace owner, Shang Chaozong wants to get back the lost position of prince. , this is the condition of Nanzhou. The palace owner has agreed, and will let the court return the deprived prince title afterwards. "
"Some words may as well be said. The purpose of conserving strength before was to force Nanzhou to send troops. Qi Tong, I am also doing it for your own good. Otherwise, if you try your best, you will kill all the men and horses. Without the troops, your military power will be reduced. It’s gone, and without the men and horses at hand, Haozhou will be lost. By then, the poor soldiers who are stained with blood on the battlefield will have to watch others take advantage of them, and they will die in peace!”
"As the saying goes, being strong without desire, we don't want any credit or rewards. What's more, the court won't really give you any rewards. Will Shang Jianxiong give you another state territory? We just need to beat the drum on the side. Since Nanzhou has What I want is to let Nanzhou charge into the battle. When the situation is almost over, the five princes will rush forward to clean up the mess. Without any effort, Dayan is saved, and the interests of the soldiers of Haozhou are also saved. Everyone wins and returns triumphantly. Returning home and being happily reunited with your family is better than nothing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Qitong hesitated to speak, "I understand what Elder Shi means, but..."
Shi Sheng squinted coldly, "But what?"
Su Qitong sighed: "Yan Shanming, Qi Wuhen, is not a name for nothing! I have served under Meng Shanming for many years, and I don't know him very well, but I know what kind of person he is. A famous general of a generation is not a name for nothing. If he doesn't take action, he will be in trouble if he takes action. It's not his style to fight a rebellion just for a false reputation. If he really wants to fight a rebellion, he won't care about the false reputation. I always feel that Nanzhou doesn't want the command authority of this general to fight the rebellion. Simple."
Shi Sheng sneered disdainfully: "Yan Shanming, Qi Wuhen, hum, what a big name, except for the Nine Supremes, who would dare to say such wild words? I don't know the heights of the world, it's just a joke! Rumors in the market, things sung by children, How can we take it seriously? Qi Tong, you think too much, let the storms arise, just be yourself, do you understand?"
Su Qitong lamented in his heart, who was Wu Gongling? How could he want to be known as a defeated general in front of Wu Gongling
However, the reality was helpless, and he had no choice but to succumb, "Yes, I understand what Elder Shi means. With Elder Shi personally in charge, there will be no mistake!"
The implication is that you are here and sitting in person, so there is nothing to worry about.
Shi Sheng smiled and nodded, patted him on the shoulder, with a look of relief on his face, and then walked forward with his hands behind his hands, "Qitong, when the big thing is settled, we will return to Haozhou, take in a few more concubines, and have more children." , see if we can produce a suitable heir for cultivation, and then I will come forward to say hello and invite him to Xiaoyao Palace to train him."
"Thank you, Elder Shi, for taking care of me!"
…
"His Majesty!"
In the Imperial Palace of the State of Zhao, Hai Wuji stood quietly beside the small bridge and flowing water, and the Governor Pang Teng came to greet him.
Hai Wuji hummed, with a dull expression, "Nanzhou is going to send troops to suppress the rebellion. Is Zhao Guo's plan to watch them consume them be ruined?"
Pang Teng said: "It depends on the situation of the battle. Wu Gongling has gathered two hundred people, and the five princes are unwilling to contribute. It is also difficult to rely on the Nanzhou family to contribute. Han and Song may still send troops at any time."
Hai Wuji turned around and said, "Shang Chaozong, I don't know much about it. Meng Shanming, does General Pang dare to underestimate him?"
Pang Teng lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "My brother died in his hands, how dare I look down upon him. Even if he could successfully quell the rebellion and make Han and Song Dynasties dare not attack Yan again, the Yan country would be worse off after this consumption." , the vitality was severely damaged, and the war swept through the place. All industries were withered and the population was displaced. It could not be relieved in a short time. This was a victory. The Zhao State made a fortune and got these resources in vain. It was another victory. The elite of Nanzhou He was transferred to suppress the rebellion, but it was difficult to return in a short period of time. Jinzhou had no one to rely on, and South Korea and Yan had too much to worry about in the confrontation. His Majesty had the resources given to him in vain and could use them to conquer Jinzhou, which was even more of a victory. There were three victories. With it in hand, even if the other countries cannot continue to consume it, Zhao will not suffer!"
Hai Wuji sighed. If there was a chance to eat bigger fat, he would naturally not want to miss it, but if there was no chance, he could only make do with it. "The old general is right. Since the old general already knows what's going on, just go ahead and prepare for the recapture of Jinzhou. The gossips in the court will take care of it."
Pang Teng did not obey the order, but advised: "Your Majesty, we cannot act rashly now. Once the troops gather and arouse the suspicion of Han and Song Dynasty, I am afraid that they will be forced to give up. Until the end, we must make them think that we are afraid of Qi." Wei's warning, I only dare to take advantage. If the situation is really bad, it is not too late to attack Jinzhou. The supplies sent by the Western Three Kingdoms are ready-made, so there is no need to spend time collecting them. When the time comes, the supplies can be sent first, and the army will follow. Just assemble and rush there, we can’t alert the enemy now.”
"Yeah!" Hai Wuji nodded, "That makes sense!"
…
It has cleared up after the snow, and the short winter has passed. The weather has warmed up, and the snow melted under the eaves of the pavilion.
In the Xuan Pavilion, Shao Pingbo was silent for a long time, thinking about the news from Nanzhou. It was not all because of this news, but what Niu Youdao would do. Would he really fight against the rebels at all costs to keep Dayan
From the perspective of Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming, he felt that this was indeed possible, but he was really not sure whether Niu Youdao could act for such a righteous cause.
The Niu Youdao he understood seemed to be between good and evil, both good and evil, impossible but possible, possible but not sure.
The situation is getting bigger and things are more complicated, involving all aspects. Unlike the previous fight with Niu Youdao, things were relatively simple and easy to sort out.
After a while, when Shao Sansheng was served a cup of hot tea, Shao Pingbo asked casually, "After the news of Nanzhou's expedition came out, is there anything unusual about the troops over there in Zhao State?"
Shao Sansheng replied: "Currently, there is no relevant news from Heishuitai. There should be nothing unusual. Otherwise, under His Majesty's strict order, Heishuitai will not be like other people who are obedient and will definitely deliver the news in time. "
There was a slight smile on Shao Pingbo's lips, "You can't poison your sister. Jinzhou has become Hai Wuji's heartache. Given this opportunity, it would be normal for the Zhao people and horses to have abnormal movements. If they don't, it would be abnormal. It seems that he can hold his breath so deeply. The judgment is correct, the appetite is indeed not small."
After saying that, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote a note. He wrote down the predicted situation on it, and then handed it to Shao Sansheng, and asked him to hand it over to the people at Heishuitai and hand it over to Tai Shuxiong for reading, so that Taishu Xiong could read it. There are several.
It's not easy for him to keep going back and forth to the palace for nothing. Tai Shuxiong also has a lot of things to deal with, and he can't be seen at any time. When it's not an important matter that needs to be discussed in person, this is how he usually conveys his opinions.
…
There were guests at the Maolu Villa, and Emperor Lie of Dachan Mountain came over. After learning the news that Nanzhou was going to send troops, he was shocked. He rushed to the governor's office to verify it, and then quickly came here.
When entertaining guests in the waterside pavilion, Niu Youdao offers tea.
Huang Lie was not in the mood at all. He was almost like an ant on a hot pot. He waved the tea cup to the side so as not to be an eyesore. He asked directly: "Brother, the Nanzhou expedition to suppress the rebellion was a lie. You should be someone else." Do you have a plan?"
He had always thought that Niu Youdao was cunning and cunning, and he concluded that Niu Youdao had other plans, otherwise he would not have been able to remain calm and calm in such a chaotic situation.
Having known Niu Youdao for so long, of course I knew that Niu Youdao was not a vegetarian. He even suspected that Niu Youdao was ready to become a wallflower and might betray Yan and defect to Han and Song Dynasty at any time. If the Yan Kingdom collapses, Dachanshan will naturally have to find a way out. This is why Dachanshan will not hesitate to follow and blatantly deceive the three major sects.
Who would have thought that Niu Youdao would actually do this and send troops against the trend? Isn't this a joke? Isn't it just a joke to confront the imperial court like that before and even intercept the imperial army's rations? But if you don't play tricks like this, you'll be fine. Dachanshan has offended the three major sects. How will you deal with others in the future? The Dachanshan family has a great cause and cannot dare to act like a rogue like you, and can slip away at will.
When things got to this point, Dazenshan finally lost his composure and finally stopped hiding aside and pretending to be dead. He couldn't pretend anymore. How could he go on an expedition without Dachanshan
You can fight for Dayan without losing anything, so that Dachanshan can be with you at any time, but you can't do it!
As a last resort, he finally came to the door after being resurrected from the dead.
Niu Youdao was surprised: "What plans do you have? How can such a big thing as going on an expedition be trivial?"
Huang Lie was a little dumbfounded, and the elders on the side also stared at Niu Youdao motionless, as if they wanted to see the flowers on Niu Youdao's face.
A group of people were all cursing in their hearts. For such a big thing, you actually didn't talk to Dazenshan from the beginning to the end. You should at least make us mentally prepared, right
It was as if nothing had happened before, but now we are suddenly told to go to the battlefield and fight to the death. Is this a big joke? Don't play like this!
