Chapter 600 Do You Really Take Me As Your Fighter?
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Why are you so anxious for the court to take action against you at this time?"
Niu Youdao has walked to the desk and sat down, preparing to draft a letter to the Shang Dynasty. This time it is not just as simple as attacking Dingzhou, but also having to defend it. Some matters involving fine operations require Shang's attention.
Chaozong made the instructions clear and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words, "You seem to be interested in things here."
Guan Fangyi, who was following behind, was very conscious and took the initiative to drip water and grind the ink. He seemed calm, but in fact he listened to the conversation between the two with his ears raised.
Man in colorful clothes: "I'm not interested either. Why, can't you tell me?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said: "It's a bit strange, you don't seem like someone who likes to ask about these things."
"This is the second time you and I have met. How much do you know about me?"
"That's true. I thought you weren't a talkative person."
"Can you tell me?"
Niu Youdao took the paper and spread it out in front of him, and said: "The matter has passed, and there is nothing that can't be said. There are many reasons. First, I know very well that Shang Jianxiong will attack me sooner or later. I hid.
For a while, I can't hide for long, I will run into him sooner or later, and I am also waiting for an opportunity to face this problem."
"Secondly, in order to deal with the threat from Zhao and Yan to Jinzhou and Nanzhou, Nanzhou's men, horses and materials have been assembled. If they are disbanded and then regrouped, it will be too laborious for people and money. We can take advantage of this opportunity.
.”
"Third, the situation has changed. The armies of South Korea and Song Dynasty are pressing on the border. The court's hands and feet have been tied. It is also a good opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Fourth, you have also seen those masked men. I asked someone to borrow them. These men cannot always be kept by my side at my disposal. They are lent to me for emergencies. They cannot stay with me for a long time.
, I have to hurry up and put it to use."
"Fifth, to sum up, after the imperial court failed to assassinate me in Jinzhou, since they will not let it go, I must take advantage of the time when I can gather strong strength, when the situation is most beneficial to me, in
Take action when the situation is not conducive to the court!"
"For these reasons, am I honest enough to you?" Niu Youdao spread his hands.
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes when she heard this. She was quite honest. She had never been so honest with my mother.
Although she had experienced the incident, most of the time it was in the clouds. However, she clearly understood Niu Youdao's intentions for the first time, and all kinds of unknowns suddenly became clear.
The man in colorful clothes thought slowly and said: "It not only gives the court time to prepare, but also prevents the court from fully preparing. This not only prevents you from being overwhelmed, but also shows your strength to scare the court, so that the court will not dare to act rashly against you in the future.
!”
Suddenly he raised his eyes and stared at him again and asked: "Did you kill the Song envoy?"
Niu Youdao smiled but did not answer. He took a pen and removed the stray hairs on the tip of the pen, which was equivalent to acquiescence. He would not admit such a thing to anyone, and did not want to deceive the other party, so he would let the other party understand it on his own.
The man in colorful clothes suddenly looked at him with complicated eyes.
Everything is clear. This guy took the opportunity to instigate the situation in which Han and Song were pressing down on the Yan army.
After contacting him in advance to protect him, it means that this guy knew in advance that the court was going to touch him, and he had already tied the hands and feet of the court and waited for the court to touch him.
The so-called second point of this guy, the so-called Nanzhou people and materials have been gathered to facilitate the use of ready-made materials, which shows that this guy has long been prepared for a counterattack.
He really didn't know how to describe this junior, and said slowly: "It seems that you won't stop until you take two bites of flesh from the imperial court this time."
Niu Youdao picked up his pen and dipped his head in ink, shaking his head, "I have no choice but to reach the point where I am now. I have no choice but to give up Nanzhou, but there are still a group of brothers outside who trust me and follow me. I
If we give up easily and have no way to explain to them, the people of Nanzhou Business Department will also face a bloodbath."
"And the imperial court's hand is restless and always wants to stir things up here a few times. If he doesn't hurt him and teach him a lesson, his hand refuses to be withdrawn. He can punch him away to avoid hundreds of punches.
Come on, after this experience, as long as no major changes occur, no one will dare to touch my thatched cottage for a long time!"
The man in colorful clothes was silent and suddenly said, "Why did Dong Guo Haoran accept such a cunning and cunning disciple like you?"
Niu Youdao spread out the paper, dipped his pen in ink and wrote, "Seeing as you are a master, I pretended not to hear you."
The man in colorful clothes suddenly sighed again, "To them, you are more useful than me! I deserved to be kicked out of the school, but they shouldn't have kicked you out, you are so stupid!"
What are you and me and the others? Niu Youdao didn't know if he understood the meaning of his words. As he just said, he pretended not to hear, said nothing, and wrote his own thing.
The man in colorful clothes was wandering around the room with a deep, indescribable and inexplicable emotion, sighing from time to time.
…
In the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, two personal guards lit the lights in Yingwu Hall and retreated.
Later, Shang Chaozong and others who received the summons from Maolu Villa rushed in. Lan Ruoting pushed Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in front of the map.
Shang Chaozong pointed at the map, told the current location of the troops, and then said: "Now the imperial court is heavily guarding South Korea and the Song Dynasty, and the internal troops are empty. Our food, grass, baggage, troops and horses have been assembled. It can be said that everything is in order. It is a good opportunity to use troops. But I, the king
I am a little worried that if Dachanshan does not cooperate, this battle will not be fought. There are also three major sects. Once they intervene, our work will be in vain."
Meng Shanming twisted his beard and said: "Master Dao will not fail to consider this. Since Master Dao has said this, he must have had a plan in advance, and the prince can feel free to send troops."
"Okay!" Shang Chaozong clapped his hands with fists and was very excited. He was very interested in expanding his territory. After being excited, he asked for advice again, "The meaning in Master Dao's letter is very obvious. The imperial court is a imperial court after all. I am Nan
The state needs to be justified in sending troops, so what excuse should it use to provoke?"
Lan Ruoting already had a countermeasure, "You can order a caravan to reveal wealth in the border area, hire a few beauties in the caravan, and lure the Dingzhou defenders to steal the wealth when they pass by. If you see the beauties, the Dingzhou defenders will rob them.
The other party fell into the trap, so the prince immediately launched an army to attack, but the beautiful woman was the concubine that the prince was planning to marry. Robbing the prince's woman was not a trivial matter, it was intolerable. If the court ordered the prince to stop the attack, the prince would implicat Xue Xiao and insisted.
If no one dares to do this without Xue Xiao in charge, the court will demote Xue Xiao and give an account to the prince. Xue Xiao is a prince, and there are powerful forces in the court to protect him. He also knows that we are planning something, so the court will not give in easily. The prince can take advantage of this gap.
Massively attack the city and plunder the territory!"
Shang Chaozong nodded repeatedly and asked Meng Shanming, "What do you think, Uncle Meng?"
Meng Shanming nodded: "It's feasible!"
Shang Chaozong looked happy, and immediately handed over the provocation and seduction to Lan Ruoting, while he himself discussed the use of troops with Meng Shanming.
About half an hour later, Lan Ruoting returned and brought another letter, "Your Majesty, the princess has received news, saying that the master has canceled the move to Fucheng."
Canceled? The two people in front of the map turned back and were stunned. They were all ready to welcome you. You are not coming?
Shang Chaozong frowned and said, "But what we did here is not good, and the Taoist master is dissatisfied?"
Lan Ruoting shook his head and gave him the letter.
"Fake the real thing with the fake, a way to blind people?" Shang Chaozong looked suspicious after reading the letter, "What do you mean?"
There was no explanation in the letter, and Lan Ruoting was also muttering, "The blindness method has been abandoned, which means that it has nothing to do with what happens next. If anything happened in front of me, it means that the Maolu Villa was attacked... It should be the encounter with the Maolu Villa.
It’s related to the attack.”
In fact, what we know here is limited. We don't even know that Niu Youdao was attacked in Jinzhou, so we have no basis for making judgments.
Meng Shanming took the letter and stared at its contents, but couldn't figure out the intention. He raised the letter in his hand and said: "The Princess's letter has made it very clear. The Taoist Master has forced Dachanshan to agree to assist in the attack on Dingzhou.
Your Majesty, you can rest assured to deploy your troops. As for the deception and the like, it is not important to us. We can just do our best, and other Taoist masters have their own sense of proportion."
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, and they were surprised that Dachanshan was actually forced by the Taoist master to agree.
Lan Ruoting finally smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master Tao's methods are cunning and changeable, and they are becoming more and more unfathomable. The imperial court has angered Master Dao, and Master Dao has made it clear this time that he wants to fight back and give the court some color.
Look, Taoist Master has helped us clear up the troubles ahead, and it’s up to us to decide how to fight harder as Taoist said."
Meng Shanming nodded and looked at the map, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing for us. Since Master Dao wants to see our appetite, let's fight freely!"
…
In the darkness before dawn, the surrounding mountains and forests are silent.
There were no moon butterflies in the courtyard. Niu Youdao looked up at the stars with his sword in the sky. Yuan Gang came from the darkness, approached and whispered in a low voice: "We have arranged for them to leave secretly. Everything goes well."
They refer to the group of people from Xiaoyue Pavilion. They should not stay here for a long time after being exposed. If they stay for a long time, they will easily be targeted. This is not what Xiaoyue Pavilion wants to see.
With so many people there, it’s not suitable to leave during the day, so we can only leave when it’s dark.
Niu Youdao nodded, turned around and went into the house. He found the man in colorful clothes sitting in the house drinking, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to leave. The good wine and food here are not as good as yours in Demon Ridge, right?"
The man in colorful clothes raised his eyes and asked, "Do you really think of me as your thug?"
Niu Youdao laughed, waved his hand and said: "How dare you, how dare you, I think your identity may have been exposed."
The man in colorful clothes was silent for a moment, "Did I get you into trouble?"
Niu Youdao shook his head: "In the past, if I didn't have the courage, it would be easy to get strangled to death by you. But it's different now. On the ground in Nanzhou, I can't be moved by anyone. Don't worry, I can handle it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t come forward to you.”
The man in colorful clothes pulled off the disguise on his face, revealing his true appearance. He rubbed his face with his hands, took off his colorful coat, threw it aside with a look of disgust, and hugged a large wine jar given to him.
"Let's go." He dropped the words and walked away.
"No rush." Niu Youdao stretched out his hand to stop her, then raised his hand and asked: "You have seen Princess Shang Shuqing, what do you think?"
