Chapter 98 You stand and stand, I am deaf and dumb
"Zhongda excuses himself." Qingzhu's expression was dull, showing no emotion or anger at all.
"Thank you, Lord." Jiang Yao gave another salute, then walked to the position of the first-class retainer with a stick and a fan, and sat upright.
The ranks of the first-class retainers are mostly martial arts masters, even martial masters are not enough to look at. Jiang Yao, a perfect warrior, is even more inconspicuous.
However, Jiang Zhongda still looked calm and calm. It was just because he was a great pharmacist who was well-known in the Qing clan.
He sat down and listened for a while before he understood what had happened.
It turns out that since this year, the Qing clan has expanded its territory, swallowed up five counties, and quickly emerged as the overlord of Qiunan. All of this has finally aroused the hostility of the veteran second-class martial clan, the Xi clan.
The Xi clan is the overlord of Qiuxi. The so-called Qiuxi is the west of the Great Medicine Hill.
Originally, the two valves were not bordering each other, and the water in the well did not interfere with the river. But after the strong rise of the Qing clan, the Qing clan could no longer sit still. The Qing clan never hoped that a new force that could challenge itself would appear to the east of itself.
Relying on his strength and status as an established second-class martial arts clan, the Xi clan did not pay any attention to "Da Qing" who was originally a third-class martial clan.
So they sent envoys.
The leader of the Qing Clan, Qian Lijian, was stationed in Huasheng City and sent an envoy to tell the Qing Lord that the Qing Clan should not attack the Meng Clan and the Dushan tribe without authorization, causing unrest among the surrounding warlords.
She demanded that the Qing Clan must return Zhangtai County to Lord Zheng, Dushan Department to Madam Banlan, and return another county to Lord Meng.
Then transfer Liucheng County in the northeastern region to the Lu clan.
It was equivalent to asking Qingzhu to spit out four of the five counties he occupied.
According to this idea, the Qing clan fought hard to the death, and in the end only got one county.
To this end, Lord Geng also attracted the Zheng Clan, who had a grudge against the Qing Clan, and the Lu Clan, who had no dealings with the Qing Clan, and formed an alliance against the Qing Clan.
Qing Lijian threatened that if the Qing Lord did not accept it, the Qing clan would impose sanctions on the Qing clan, and the Qing army would unite with the Zheng army and the Lu army to attack the Qing clan.
One can imagine how angry the Qing Clan monarchs and ministers would be after receiving such an arrogant ultimatum from the Qing Clan.
"My lord, I, Da Qing, should form an alliance with Jin Clan and Gan Clan! Gan Clan and Zheng Clan are feuding, and Jin Clan and Lu Clan are also feuding. Zheng Jun and Lu Army simply cannot mobilize troops to attack Da Qing. What Da Qing wants to face
That's right, actually there is only the Geng Army!" Han Cang said.
"The Geng Army claims to have 100,000 cavalry, but it doesn't border Daqing. If they come to attack Daqing, they have to pass through the Luo clan's territory. The Luo clan is not weak, so how can they agree to take advantage of it?"
Yin Zhu said in a deep voice: "My lord, the key lies in the attitude of the Luo clan. The Luo clan also has forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers. If they lend the road to the Mongolian clan, they will definitely attack us together with the Mongolian army, with a combined force of hundreds of thousands.
Daqing is in danger."
"If the Luo clan refuses to use the road, the Geng army will not be able to fly over. The threat of the Geng clan is empty talk, and we can ignore it."
Lan Sheng also stood up, "Why do the Xi clan have the confidence to threaten me, Da Qing? That's because they have a truce with the second-class martial clan in the west and signed a collegial agreement."
"What does it mean if a second-class military clan ceases war with another second-class force?"
"It means that they can free up their hands to devour the surrounding B and D martial lords. Instead of seeking the far away, tens of thousands of miles away, to attack me, Daqing. Is this consistent with common sense?"
All the retainers spoke one after another, and everyone's words made sense. It seemed that the true intentions of the Xian clan were all possible.
This time Jiang Yao was like Xu Shu entering Cao's camp without saying a word. He didn't pay attention to the words of the retainers. He only quietly paid attention to Qingzhu's expression.
This lord has always been unpredictable, and it is impossible for him to think of anything that his retainers can think of.
But he guessed that this meeting was not for discussion, but to build momentum.
Because the envoy of the Geng clan is outside the palace, all this should be done for the Geng envoy to see.
It made Gengshi think that the Qing clan monarchs and ministers took this matter very seriously and were very nervous.
Sure enough, more than a hundred people clamored for a long time, but with no results, the Qingzhu announced the adjournment of the meeting.
A large group of retainers came out of the palace with solemn expressions. When they met the envoy outside the palace, they all looked at him angrily.
When the messenger saw this, he was not angry, but just sneered and said nothing.
However, what Gengshi didn't know was that there were seven or eight people who did not leave the hall after the meeting, but followed Lord Qing to the back hall.
Among them is ginger medicine.
When they arrived at the back hall, Master Qing casually asked the eight of them to sit down and said calmly, "You all tell me."
Yin Zhu was the first to speak: "My lord, according to my lord's arrangement and with Da Qing's trump card, it is not difficult to destroy Qiang. What is difficult is that destroying Qiang will definitely attract the interference of a powerful vassal."
Lan Sheng nodded, "Yes, the key is how to avoid the interference of Class A warriors. Whether or not Qiang can be destroyed is not the problem. With my lord's current means, destroying Qiang is not much more difficult than destroying Meng."
Han Cang said with a smile: "That girl from Qianlijian thinks that the Qian clan has strong soldiers and horses, so she dares to interfere with my Daqing, but she doesn't know that Daqing's sword has long been hanging over her head."
"My lord, I think that I can endure for a while and let the Yi clan survive for a few more days. At the moment, it is best to surrender to the first-class powerful vassal Yue clan in advance. As long as the Yu clan does not interfere, I, Daqing, can naturally destroy the clan.
.”
Jiang Yao was extremely frightened. Listening to their tone, Master Qing seemed to be sure of eliminating Qi and had already made arrangements in secret.
Is this too ridiculous?
A C-level force that has just devoured its neighbors and become a new B-level force dares to attack an established B-level force before it has finished digesting it?
Even if we want to do it, shouldn't we take action after digesting the territory, increasing our strength, and consolidating our rule?
He was sure that Master Qing must have a very powerful arrangement. And his arrangement was definitely not one or two years ago, it could be decades or even hundreds of years.
But I heard Qingzhu say: "You don't have to worry about the music valve. The music valve will definitely have no time to interfere when the time comes. You only need to talk about the matter of destroying Qi."
The others once again said some innocuous words, which had no actual meaning and did not reveal Qingzhu's plan, but everyone's eyes always glanced at Jiang Yao with deep meaning.
Jiang Yao suddenly understood.
This seemingly redundant secret discussion may be to guide myself to make suggestions.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
Do you think too highly of yourself?
But that's mostly the case.
They probably want to use Madam Banlan's poisonous epidemic method to deal with the Qi clan and cause the entire Qi clan to be in chaos.
Of course, there must be other powerful means and killing moves. The poison domain attack must be a very important step among them.
But the reputation of poisonous plague attacks is too bad, and it is criticized by thousands of people. No matter who uses it, it will be infamy and gain countless hatred.
Qingzhu and these old retainers are both expressive and independent. They themselves do not propose the poisonous epidemic attack, but they want to guide themselves to take the initiative.
Because only the Qing clan can restore Madam Banlan's poisonous plague attack method. Only he can lead the poisonous plague attack plan.
If I take the initiative to propose a poisonous epidemic attack plan in order to gain credit, that will play into their hands.
The result was that Lord Qinghuang expanded his territory and Master Jiang Yong took the blame.
It is very likely that in order to appease the Xiang clan people afterwards, he pushed himself out to eliminate public anger and "kill the ginger medicine to thank the world."
Although these were all Jiang Yao's guesses, the more he guessed, the more he felt it was possible.
Their plans should have been made long ago, and there was no need to discuss them again.
Maybe the only step left is the virus epidemic plan.
However, it should be a tacit understanding between them to guide themselves to give advice, and there is no deliberate arrangement. For these old foxes, this matter does not need to be deliberately arranged.
Sure enough, these confidants and ministers talked non-nutritious nonsense for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Yao remained silent the whole time, she couldn't help but feel a little "hated that iron cannot become steel".
Is this Jiang Zhongda really stupid or just pretending to be confused?
Why don’t you offer a solution to the epidemic?
Lan Sheng coughed and couldn't help but ask: "Does Zhongda have any good ideas that can protect me, Daqing, and defeat the clan clan?"
Jiang Yao cursed in his heart, knowing that I was pretending to be confused, why did he still ask?
