Immediate execution without pardon? Zhang Hu tightened his lips and realized that this handsome man was getting older, but his temper had not changed at all, and his murderousness on the battlefield had not diminished!
Nong Fengting was a little dissatisfied. If you say you can't be pardoned immediately, then you can't be pardoned right away? We also have to ask the people from the three major factions behind those four people if they agree. When he mentioned this, he thought of the murder of his fellow disciple Shi Sheng. Seeing this person who was with the Shang Chaozong say "kill" again, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But he was still polite when he said it, "Commander Meng, the Song army has broken through the Iron Gate Pass. At this time, letting the princes' troops break away from the Song army is tantamount to allowing the Song army to advance straight in. I'm afraid it won't work!"
Of course there is a reason for the polite words. If we say that we were trying to counter the rebellion earlier with the intention of self-preservation, now we are trying to fight tooth and nail. It will not work if we don’t fight. The Yan State will soon be over. Once the Yan State is over, the three major factions will have to finish. , the three major factions have lost their territory, and he still retains a lot of strength.
Now he no longer wants to preserve his strength, but the princes and generals below are thinking of protecting themselves again. He has also noticed it, but no matter how hard he fights, he will be defeated. It is useless for him to personally supervise the battle and keep an eye on it. Even if he cannot defeat the enemy, you What can be done
He has already noticed the signs that the situation is over. Now he needs to rely on the old guy in front of him to make a final attempt to save himself. If he can't bear it, he can't be more polite. Otherwise, how can Xiaoyao Palace let Shang Chaozong leave if Shang Chaozong kills the elder of Xiaoyao Palace
Meng Shanming didn't know that Tiemen Pass had been lost, and was somewhat surprised: "Tiemen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The assembled defense force is not weak. How could it be lost so easily?"
"Hey, there is nothing we can do if there is a traitor. Lian Anshan, the guard of the iron gate, and the practicing sects together secretly used despicable means to murder the disciples of the three major sects who were sitting in the gate, and then surrendered to the Song army..." Nong Fengting opened the iron gate. I talked about the loss of Guan again.
Meng Shanming was silent for a moment, but still insisted on following his own plan, "I have my own plan. I will send the four generals here first."
Nong Fengting refused to let go, "Shuai Meng, you have to understand clearly. Once the iron gate is broken, the road leading to the capital will be almost unsafe. It depends entirely on the troops from all walks of life to intercept the Song army, otherwise the capital will be in danger. If you ask the princes and troops to give up intercepting the Song army now, regardless of the safety of Dayan's center, I'm afraid the thunder will be furious when you turn around!"
Meng Shanming: "Do you think the current situation can be stopped? If you touch it, you will lose. What is the difference between stopping and not stopping? It is useless to fight in a confused manner. It is better to straighten out the root cause of the matter first than to act in a hurry. .”
Nong Fengting: "Once something happens, the pressure will not be something you can bear."
Meng Shanming: "I can't force you to follow my plan or not. If you don't follow my plan, then follow your plan. There's no need for me to make myself miserable here. Da'an, let's go back. "After giving instructions over his shoulder, Luo Daan immediately pushed the wheelchair.
Leaving now? Zhang Hu blinked again and again, looking at Nongfeng Pavilion from the corner of his eye.
Nong Fengting was speechless, with a gloomy expression on his face. He must have been holding back his anger, but in the end he rushed over to stop him and tried to persuade him, "Shuai Meng, that's not what I meant. I'm reminding you that I have good intentions for you." I’m reminding you just for your own sake.”
There was no way, even though I felt that the other party's behavior at this time was nonsense and unreliable, but I had to lower my stance because I wanted to ask for help.
In the end, Meng Shanming's wishes were followed and people from the three major sects were contacted urgently to escort the four princes over.
Maybe it can be said that they were escorted here. Several princes could play tricks on the battlefield, but there was no way that people from the three major factions could forcefully escort them here.
This was also Meng Shanming's helpless move. He was worried that his orders would be useless and that the princes would not obey their orders, so he wanted to borrow the help of the three major factions.
Speaking of which, this is the only advantageous place at present. Only at this time will the three major factions cooperate with Nanzhou and can borrow a lot from the three major factions.
…
The news that Yan State once again activated Shang Chaozong and appointed Shang Chaozong as the general of the expedition once again shocked all forces in the world.
There was some emotion within the Yan State's government and people. They found that Shang Chaozong was really hard-working and uncomplaining. It was really rare to be treated like that by the court and to be able to put aside the past grudges.
From this incident, many people in the government and the public could see that when Dayan has reached such a state, if there is anyone who would risk his own life to protect Dayan, this mediocre prince Shang Chaozong is really one of them.
Everyone didn't say anything, but in their hearts they were filled with emotion and admiration.
Comparing what the imperial court did, many people felt that it was a bit excessive. When they wanted to use someone, they let Shang Chaozong fight to the death, and when they didn't use it, they sent him to a prison and tortured him. What's going on
When Dayan was in danger, many people understood the reality, and it also caused the hearts of those in the court to waver to a certain extent.
Faced with the reality, although they admired it, some people secretly lamented that the Shang Dynasty was stupid. The situation has reached this point, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. After many twists and turns, the national power of the Yan State is really almost exhausted, and the military food supply really cannot keep up. , the army's rations are about to run out, the soldiers are about to starve, and there are millions of mouths to eat. How can we fight this war? You know you can't do something but you do it. There is a road in Nanzhou but you don't take it, but you choose to go to a dead end. What's the use of empty blood? Are you stupid
Weiguo, Tianwei Mansion, Taiwei Nan Renyu and imperial censor Jin Lingzan came in hand in hand to pay homage to Xuanwei.
Xuan Wei showed up to see the two of them immediately. The guests in the Xuan Pavilion were seated, and Xuan Wei asked what their purpose was.
Jin Lingzan took out a letter and presented it, "The State of Yan once again asks for urgent help, hoping that we can borrow another batch of grain."
After Xuan Wei took over and looked at it, she looked solemn, raised her head, and scanned the two of them with her bright eyes, "What do you two mean?"
Jin Lingzan muttered: "What the Yan State means is that they have listened to our opinions and asked Shang Chaozong to preside over the war, and borrow food on the grounds that the war may be victorious."
Nan Renyu shook his head and said: "Presuring Yan State to let Shang Chaozong preside over the war is just treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. There is no point in lending food to Yan State anymore. I am afraid that there is no possibility of returning the loaned food." .”
Xuan Wei: "What does the captain mean that the Yan Kingdom will be defeated?"
Tang Yi, who was watching, was slightly shocked. After all, she was from the Yan Kingdom, and it was normal to feel unbearable while watching the Yan Kingdom's demise.
Nan Renyu: "Shang Jianxiong is stupid and did the stupid thing of changing the commander before the battle. If Shang Chaozong had gathered the morale and morale of the Song army to control the Song army, it would be okay for us to borrow food. Now the Song army is unstoppable, and the war situation has reached this point. It is too late. , I am afraid that Shang Chaozong will be unable to save the day. Without food, no matter how capable Shang Chaozong is, he will not be able to fight this war. Even if we borrow food now, will it be too late when the food arrives? The war situation is like this, the food is delivered, and the Song army is already there How can the Yan army easily let food fall into the hands of the Yan army when they are galloping all over the country?"
Xuan Wei was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "It seems that the Yan Kingdom has finally come to an end, Shang Jianxiong, Shang Jianxiong, the eternal sinner of the Yan Kingdom! I hope our country will learn from it and not follow in his footsteps!"
Tang Yi felt sad...
In the Jin Palace, a group of generals and Jin Emperor Tai Shuxiong gathered in front of the map, also discussing the war in Yan.
The conclusions drawn are similar. The Yan Kingdom has reached its end and is unlikely to be the opponent of the Song Army. What's more, South Korea, which is eyeing it with eager eyes, will take action sooner or later.
After the generals dispersed, Shao Pingbo, who was listening, had no intention of leaving.
When Tai Shuxiong saw this, he smiled and said, "Master Shao, do you have any opinions that you haven't expressed yet?"
Shao Pingbo said calmly, "Since Shang Chaozong has come back to preside over the battle, it means that he has Niu Youdao's permission. Since Niu Youdao has given permission, it means that he will not sit idly by."
Tai Shuxiong laughed loudly, "When the situation has reached this point, how can he be able to control it? Master Shao is worrying too much."
Shao Pingbo leaned slightly and said, "This person's methods are unpredictable. Your Majesty must not be careless and must be on guard."
After hearing what he said, Tai Shuxiong stopped laughing and nodded slightly, "I would like to hear your opinions."
Shao Pingbo: "The current situation is heading toward prediction. South Korea should take action next, and then Zhao will not be left alone. But if Niu Youdao uses an unexpected method to turn the tide, our plan will be ruined. That is definitely not the case. What your Majesty hopes to see. What's more, Your Majesty has already intended to recruit Niu Youdao. If he doesn't avoid the dead end, he will not surrender easily. Therefore, we must not let the war in Yan country turn over. If a situation we don't want to see happens, Jin The manpower left by the government on the Yan Army side can be put to use!"
Taishu Xiongli asked: "How?"
Shao Pingbo said calmly: "Waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming!"
Tai Shuxiong narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and nodded slightly...
After the defenders of Tiemen Pass surrendered, the Song army was like a torrent, rushing towards the land of the Yan Kingdom. People from all walks of life in the Yan Kingdom chased and intercepted them, and retreated one by one. The Song army's offensive was unstoppable.
Although the news of Yan Ting's reactivation of the Shang Chaozong has been reported, it is difficult to predict the Song army's offensive and the Yan army's defeat.
As the army marched forward, Luo Zhao, the governor-general of the Song Dynasty, rode in front with a silver spear and a white horse, looking very high-spirited!
If this battle succeeds in destroying the Yan Kingdom, he will be famous throughout the ages!
A horseman came galloping and reported urgently: "Grand Governor, battle report from the front, the five princes and horses of Yan State Gongzhou, Tuzhou, Haozhou, Fuzhou and Changzhou have stopped harassing our army and retreated. According to reliable information , Shang Chaozong has appointed Meng Shanming as the general of the Eastern Expedition. Meng Shanming has now arrived at the Changzhou garrison and has urgently summoned five princes to see him, predicting that he will redeploy the war against our army."
"Meng Shanming came to the front line in person?" Luo Zhao raised his silver spear, and the army immediately stopped moving forward.
The spy reported: "Back to the Grand Governor, that's right! I have been ordered to be the General of the Eastern Expedition and will be in charge of the battle with our army."
Hearing Meng Shanming coming, the generals looked at each other in confusion. The name of the person and the shadow of the tree. How could those present not have heard of Meng Shanming? They thought about how much humiliation that man had brought to the Song Dynasty and how many people he had forced to marry. A princess gets married.
It can even be said that most of the generals in the Song Dynasty have been shrouded in the shadow of Meng Shanming for a long time. When they hear this name, their nerves are a little tense.
"Meng Shanming, Qi Wuhen!" Luo Zhao said in a mellow voice, looking up at the sky, and said leisurely: "Meng Shanming, I have been a close friend of this man for a long time. I only regret that he retired too early and I have always regretted it! Now I have the opportunity to get it. Getting what you want is truly a great blessing in life, how can you not congratulate me! Come, prepare a big gift for me to express your sincere gratitude to the governor." There was a hint of joking in his tone.
PS: Happy New Year! Thanks to the new leader for his "motion sickness" New Year's Eve support!
