Chapter 539: The two make a plan, Shen Tang returns
After half an hour, Shen Tang's head was full of black lines, and he resisted the thought of knocking Ye Mao unconscious for the hundredth time. Only then did Ye Mao's words gradually stop.
"call!"
Shen Tang and Bian Xi couldn't help but sigh. Listening to Ye Mao's nagging was really more troublesome than fighting.
"By the way, Shen Zhuangyuan, don't you believe that our government has not colluded with the Qiang people?
It doesn't matter.
Now I will tell you about my layout among the Qiang people over the years, and after you send someone to check and verify it, you will definitely believe me."
"No... no need, I trust the prefect!"
Shen Tang hurriedly spoke. If Ye Mao were allowed to continue speaking, wouldn't it take half an hour?
Furthermore, from what Ye Mao said just now, Shen Tang could tell that there was nothing false about Ye Mao's words.
Moreover, in order to have some evidence for what he said, Ye Mao even showed Shen Tang the autographed letter written by Lu Wuguan and Lu Wuguan.
Shen Tang naturally recognized the handwriting of Lu You and Zhou Bida clearly, and concluded from the letter that Ye Mao was indeed a man of upright character.
Speaking of which, Ye Mao can be regarded as an old master with ideals.
Otherwise, he would not have become close friends with people like Lu You and Zhou Bida! In fact, this Ye Mao was extremely idealistic and could be said to be dedicated to serving the country and the people.
Otherwise, for six full years in Maozhou, either he would not be able to endure it any longer, or he would have already colluded with the Qiang people.
This is why he even somewhat admires Shen Tang, who made great contributions to the Song Dynasty.
"Master Ye Mao, I came here this time because I have something to do and I want to seek help from you."
Shen Tang said.
Hearing Shen Tang bring up the topic, Ye Mao also straightened his face, nodded immediately and said, "Commander Ye, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse! By the way, do you want to suppress this Qiang people?" , Well... I'd better tell you about the cards I have laid out over the years. After you know it, as long as we cooperate..."
"grown ups……"
Shen Tang took a deep breath and had to interrupt Ye Mao.
"Sir, my coming here has nothing to do with the Qiang people's affairs.
This Qiang people must be suppressed, but not now.
Nowadays, Chengdu Fucheng is being besieged by the Tibetans. Once Fucheng falls, not only will it be difficult for us to get it back, but we will also be unable to go south to pacify the entire Chengdu Fucheng.
Therefore, I must lead the army to Chengdu Fucheng as soon as possible and join forces with General Shao Hongyuan!"
"ah……"
Ye Mao was slightly startled, "But aren't all your armies here?
Do you still have the energy to go south?"
Since he already trusted Ye Mao, Shen Tang naturally did not need to keep hiding it from him. He even told Ye Mao about his arrangement!
"hiss!"
Ye Mao took a breath of cold air, "I have long heard that Ye Shuai was planning Wushuang, but now that I saw it, it was true! This golden cicada's plan to escape from its shell was hidden from everyone.
So, what does Ye Shuai want me to do?
Are you continuing to hold back the Qiang people?"
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Holding the Qiang people down is one of them. When we are not sure of victory, it is not appropriate to start a head-on war with the Qiang people.
However, now my main force, Chen Bing, is preparing to attack Jiulong in Pengzhou.
The Jiulong Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it is attacked by force, it will definitely cause heavy damage.
However, the Qiang people and the Tubo people have already united, so I want to use the hands of the Qiang people to help me win the Jiulong land."
"oh?"
Ye Mao's eyes lit up, "Shuai Ye, please tell me what I should do!"
Immediately, Shen Tang whispered his plan to Ye Mao!
After listening, Ye Mao nodded without hesitation, "Don't worry, Commander, I will return to Wenshan immediately and will definitely help the Commander get this matter done!"
"Sir, when we take Jiulong, the Qiang people may become suspicious of you..." Shen Tang said hesitantly.
But Ye Mao laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Commander, I am the prefect of Maozhou after all. Even if there is some suspicion, the Qiang people still dare to attack me openly?"
Furthermore, how could it be possible that I have not had any plans for the past six years?"
"Let me tell you what I have arranged over the years. Although it is difficult to oppose the Qiang people, it is also easy to protect yourself..."
Finally, Ye Mao was sent out again.
There was no way, after meeting Shen Tang, the prefect seemed to have opened up some kind of attribute, which made Shen Tang and Bian Xi really unbearable...
After Ye Mao left, Shen Tang didn't stop at Bian Xi's place. He had to go back and make arrangements quickly.
This time, with Ye Mao's help, I think I will have a chance to break through the Jiulong Land.
Let us say that after Ye Mao returned all the way to Wenshan, Gu Wu and others who were waiting for his return gathered in the main hall to welcome Ye Mao again!
After everyone sat down, Guwu said to Ye Mao, "The prefect has worked really hard for us, Maozhou!"
Ye Mao waved his hand, "I am in charge of Maozhou. This is my duty."
"Sir, if you go on this trip, how will those Song troops do?"
Gu Wu asked again.
There was a bit of anger and sigh on Ye Mao's face. He thought for a moment before speaking, "This time, I am going to work for the army.
Fortunately, with my status as the prefect, the Song Army General was somewhat polite to me.
Moreover, under the advice of this government, they were temporarily stopped.
However, the Song Army said that they will continue to investigate whether our Maozhou has united with the Tubo people.
If it is a misunderstanding, they will naturally retreat, but if it is confirmed, then this army will go straight to Wenshan!"
"Gu Wu, I naturally trust you, but there is obviously a villain behind this Song Army.
We have heard that several small tribes have defected to the Song army. Maybe these small tribes have a grudge against the Qiang people and want to use the help of the Song Dynasty to eliminate our power in Maozhou.
Therefore, although I have a clear conscience about this matter, I am not very optimistic about Song Jun’s investigation..."
"The question now is, once the Song army comes in large numbers, how should we deal with it! Although our strength in Maozhou is not weak, we are not the opponent of the Song Dynasty Army after all.
Moreover, we don’t have any reinforcements! If we want to fight against the heavenly soldiers, wouldn’t we be seeking death?”
"In my opinion, we should just wait for the Song army to arrive. Then they can investigate as they want. We are the people of the Song Dynasty after all. How dare they kill us rashly?
If they dare to kill the people of Maozhou arbitrarily, even if I risk my life, I will go to His Majesty to fight against the Song Army commander..."
After a long while, his face, which was changing rapidly, finally calmed down.
He thought for a moment, and then said to Ye Mao, "Sir, it's been a hard journey all the way, so go back and rest first.
Once the Song army comes in the future, we will still need adults to deal with it!"
