This is what he means, and it is not what he means.
He is not sincere, he does not believe that Niu Youdao can let him go, and conversely he believes that Niu Youdao thinks the same way. Niu Youdao will not let him go, so how can he let Niu Youdao go? No matter who is in power,
It will be the death of another one!
Sincerely, he knew that Tai Shuxiong was just wishful thinking, and it was impossible for Niu Youdao to submit to Tai Shuxiong.
He and Niu Youdao have fought against each other many times, and each of them plans to kill the other. They are people who have fought against each other in subtle ways, and they have a certain understanding of each other.
To a certain extent, Niu Youdao is the same type of person as him, both of whom are unwilling to be controlled by others. If he had not been forced to have no other choice, how could he abandon Beizhou and go here.
Similarly, Niu Youdao has managed Nanzhou well and has now established a strong position in Nanzhou. It is impossible for him to abandon Beizhou and come here to bow his head.
So he knew that Tai Shuxiong was destined to fail in recruiting him, and was destined to kill him if he failed to get it. Why should he be a villain in vain to smear Tai Shuxiong in his own face and in Tai Shuxiong's heart?
However, Tai Shuxiong was quite moved. He was moved by his righteous words without hesitation. He was pleased and said with joy: "If all the ministers in the court could be as selfless and far-sighted as you, how could the Jin Kingdom last long?"
Trapped here, it has already roared all over the world like a tiger out of its cage! It is the king's luck to get the son, it is the blessing of the Jin Dynasty, the king is very lucky, the king did not see the wrong person, good, very good!"
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. When the tide rises, the boat lifts. Even humble ministers have selfish motives." Shao Pingbo bowed with his hands in hand and thanked him for the compliment.
"Everyone understands the truth. Is there anyone in the whole court who doesn't understand this truth? Everyone understands that those who can practice lightness and weight are like rare birds. If you do this, you will be a thousand times better than them." Tai Shuxiong praised him.
He praised and praised her again and again, and he didn't hesitate to praise her if she agreed to clear up all the past grudges.
Shao Pingbo could only bow again but did not dare to take it seriously.
Tai Shuxiong stretched out his hand to help him up, then put his hands behind his back and said: "As for the layout of Qi and Wei, King Gu has learned that you are still hesitant. Should you speed up? Or is it that Heishuitai has not tried its best?
Cooperate with you? Who dares to miss this important event? Just tell me!"
It refers to the matter of instigating the relationship between Wei Jun's sister and brother, and Qi Huang's father and son. He left this matter to Shao Pingbo to take charge.
At present, Shao Pingbo has nothing else to do. He mainly serves as a counselor beside him. He has no merit and is not suitable to arrange a suitable position for Shao Pingbo.
Now that Shao Pingbo has come, he has treated him with extraordinary kindness. There have been criticisms in the court, so it is not appropriate to give Shao Pingbo, an outsider, a high position out of thin air.
Now this secret plan needs to be kept secret, and no news can be leaked. It has not been made known to anyone in the court, and it has become a test stone for Shao Pingbo.
Once Shao Pingbo's plan works, if it can help the army attack with overwhelming force, it will be a great achievement. For such a great contribution, no one can say anything about the merits and rewards. It is justifiable to let Shao Pingbo take the position.
He understands this, and so does Shao Pingbo.
After hearing this, Shao Pingbo immediately explained seriously: "It's not that Mr. Tao didn't fully cooperate, but that the ministers didn't want to be hasty. Although Weijun is absurd, the Xuanwei women in Weiguo are not inferior to men, and Qihuang Haoyuntu is not an ordinary person.
, once they notice and alert the snake, and they try to use this move later, it will have no effect. If this move cannot be used, it must be effective in one blow. Wei Chen is not satisfied with the candidates currently provided by Heishuitai.
We still need to carefully select and identify with Heishuitai, and we must prepare carefully and accurately, so that the people who are placed in the past must be impeccable, and the other party must not be able to find any problems!"
"Well, that makes sense. The lonely king is impatient." Tai Shuxiong nodded in agreement, "You are thoughtful and with your ability, I will leave this matter to you. Don't worry, the lonely king!"
"Thank you for your trust, your majesty. I will definitely live up to your majesty's great trust!"
…
In the Yingwu Hall of Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, Meng Shanming sat in front of the map and Shang Chaozong stood.
Although it has been learned that the Yan State has withdrawn its troops and has given up its intention to attack Nanzhou, the affairs of Zhao State are not over yet. Jinzhou is still facing huge pressure. Once Jinzhou is lost, Nanzhou will face the situation of being attacked from both sides in the future.
What is marked on the map now is Zhao's troop mobilization. Once a war breaks out, how they will fight is also being discussed here, so as to take precautions before it happens.
Lan Ruoting entered with the letter. After seeing the ceremony, he gave the letter to Shang Chaozong, "The letter from the Taoist Master asked the prince to gather 10,000 Yingyang Wulie Guards to enter Jinzhou, and at the same time assemble a large army to advance towards Jinzhou, showing support at all costs."
Jinzhou’s stance against Zhao’s imperial court should be frightened!”
Meng Shanming stared at the map and nodded: "It's an expected thing."
Lan Ruoting nodded: "Jinzhou and Nanzhou are close friends and rely on each other. No one can fall first, otherwise it will be difficult for the remaining party to cope with the torment of a country!"
"This king seems to have become Taoist Ye Ye's yes man." Shang Chaozong suddenly said something.
Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting were both startled. They suddenly turned back to look at him. They were both stunned and speechless. They couldn't help but look around, as if they were worried that the wall had ears.
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were frightened.
Upon seeing this, Shang Chaozong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions. I also know that I must help Jinzhou, but Taoist Master has not disclosed any plans to us from beginning to end.
It would be too childish to just say that the army will be mobilized here. The situation is already clear. If the situation is not clear, how can I give orders in a confused way, how can thousands of troops march, how can they be stationed, how can they be dispatched?
Do you want to pile them all into Jinzhou?"
Meng Shanming said slowly: "Master Dao doesn't know much about this aspect, so he might act like this. If I have a chance to communicate with him, he should be able to understand. But... Your Majesty, you need to be careful what you say!"
"Hide your clumsiness!" Lan Ruoting also pressed down with both hands and reminded in a low voice: "When the teacher was still alive, he once said to the late king that a king should be open to all rivers and should not show his sharpness when employing people. Only when he shows his clumsiness can he be wise.
Use your talents to the best of your ability! If you have your own opinions on everything, and others can just wait and see, how can people express themselves freely, and how can those who are just people be willing to do their best?"
"The prince knows the ability of the Taoist master, and what he does is exactly what the prince lacks. The prince can make up for his shortcomings. If the prince should not make the decision, the prince will turn a blind eye. If the prince should make the decision, the prince can
His sharp edge is revealed! At this point, Master Dao is a truly smart man. He should not interfere here. Master Dao almost doesn’t even ask. Prince, hide your clumsiness, hide your clumsiness!"
Shang Chaozong smiled bitterly: "I remember when I just escaped from the capital and killed the city gate guard with my sword, Mr. Lan thought I was too sharp and kept telling me to hide my clumsiness. I can't count how many times I have been reminded. Mr. Lan thought that I was too sharp.
I know your thoughts, and I also know what to do. I just said it casually without any other meaning. Commander Meng and Mr. Meng are overthinking it."
Whether he was expressing his feelings or saying it casually, Meng Shanming slowly spoke again, still saying, "Be careful what you say!"
At the same time, the person who received the letter was also in the palace, and Dachan Mountain also received a letter from Niu Youdao.
In a hall, Huang Lie, who had read the letter, gave it to the elders to take turns to read.
There was nothing else in the letter, asking Dachanshan to dispatch a large number of personnel to accompany the Shang Dynasty army to march westward to put pressure on Zhao.
This side is not stupid. The situation has reached this point. Naturally, they understand the purpose of the army's westward march to exert pressure, which is to protect Jinzhou behind Nanzhou.
Everyone took turns to read the letter. Huang Lie walked out of the hall, stood on the steps under the eaves, looked up at the sky with his hands behind his hands, and sighed softly.
The situation is like this, and it is impossible not to comply. Protecting Jinzhou also protects the interests of Dazen Mountain, but it feels a bit uncomfortable to be led by the nose.
But there was no choice. Yan Ting withdrew his troops, and he no longer had the qualifications to be a mere wallflower here.
Neither Dachanshan nor the Shang Chaozong was delayed. Following the Shang Chaozong's order, the men and horses mobilized to deal with the imperial army began to turn around and began to move towards the Jinzhou of Zhao State, assuming a posture of supporting Jinzhou at all costs.
…
In the Zhao Kingdom's palace, Hai Wuji stood in silence in front of the map for a long time.
A eunuch came in with a tray and a bowl of soup. He approached and said softly: "Your Majesty, you haven't come in this morning..."
With a clang, Hai Wuji waved his hand and turned the tray over. The jade bowl shattered on the floor and the soup spilled.
Hai Wuji turned around with a gloomy look on his face. The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and did not dare to raise his head.
The gloomy Hai Wuji paced back and forth in the hall, feeling full of anger.
The Yan State had no courage, and the alliance between Yan and Zhao was broken. Jinzhou was freed up to march westward, and the two states joined forces. The Zhao State could not afford to waste it for a long time, and it was easy for others to take advantage of it. He could no longer go his own way.
Fang was furious and immediately stopped.
The problem is, just because there is no evidence doesn’t mean that others don’t know about it. Now who doesn’t know that he poisoned his sister? As a result, Hai Ruyue was not poisoned to death, and Jinzhou didn’t dare to touch it again. He still couldn’t get any benefits from the notoriety.
It can be said that I have lost all face, and there is really nowhere to vent my anger!
"Your Majesty!" Another eunuch came in. After seeing the situation in the palace and then looking at his face, he immediately said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Yan, Gao Shaoming, wants to see you!"
"Does he still have the nerve to come see me?" Hai Wuji was furious, "He's useless, don't see him, let him go! Summon the State of Yan, tell me that I don't welcome this person, and ask the State of Yan to replace him!"
…
In the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion, Situ Yao had a cheerful smile on his face and led several people into the courtyard where Niu Youdao was.
Guan Fangyi reported that Niu Youdao showed up. As soon as the two sides met, Situ Yao laughed heartily and told the good news, "Brother, the imperial court has withdrawn its troops, and the storm is over!"
Niu Youdao also smiled and said: "Master Situ, I'm not lying to you, my Nanzhou army's response is quite fast, is there any delay?"
A huge stone fell to Situ Yao's heart, and he felt extremely comfortable. He grabbed his hand and patted it in his own, "No, no, a friend in need is a friend indeed. I am a trustworthy person. I have my brother in charge in Nanzhou. I have the back of Wandong Tianfu."
You can rest assured! I am here to give you a guarantee in front of everyone. Dachan Mountain cannot represent the attitude of Nanzhou. In the future, I, Wandong Tianfu, will only discuss matters with you, my brother!"
Niu Youdao asked again: "Does it insult the friendship of the alliance?"
Situ Yao: "Just like a couple, they will always be united in love!"
Husband and wife? Niu Youdao looked at his hand that was being held and almost got goosebumps. He retracted his arm and joked: "If they are a couple, then Jinzhou must be the mother's."
Situ Yao was unconvinced. Why did Jinzhou become a female? "I think Nanzhou is more like a female."
Niu Youdao waved his hand: "That's wrong. Hai Ruyue is a woman and cannot change into a man. The prince is a man and cannot change into a woman. Such a pairing really looks like a couple."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Wandong Tianfu was speechless, and Li Wuhua's expression twitched slightly.
Guan Fangyi pursed her lips and snickered, realizing that Master Dao really didn't suffer easily, so it was reasonable to open his mouth.
"You guys are not willing to let go of even this little advantage." Situ Yao rolled his eyes at him and patted Niu Youdao on the shoulder, "Brother, you are so inferior."
Refers to the seniority of Hai Ruyue and Shang Chaozong.
Everyone laughed, and Niu Youdao also laughed, thinking it was a joke.
"Brother, let me take a step to speak." Situ Yao smiled and then touched Niu Youdao's shoulder, extending his hand to invite.
