Yuan Gang lowered his head. He knew Niu Youdao very well. He knew what Niu Youdao wanted to do by kidnapping the two people. Similar techniques were used by Master Dao. They were dirty underworld techniques and were shameless. This was not something he was willing to do.
, said in a muffled voice: "Master Dao, these two are innocent."
Whenever this happens, he will think of Master Dao's other identity, the underworld tycoon!
"Innocent?" Niu Youdao walked up to him and asked, "Where is the innocent? Maybe they are relatively innocent, but their positions cannot be changed. How many people died because of the two of them saying a word, or because of one of them?
Are you innocent if you die unhappy? If they are girls from good families, I will definitely not touch them. Monkey, there are two choices before me, kidnap them or betray one of my own, help me choose."
Yuan Gang: "Does Yun Ji count as one of our own? Does Yun Huan regard you as one of our own?"
Niu Youdao explained the meaning of adventure in one sentence, "A person who may become a master in the Nascent Soul stage!"
Yuan Gang remained silent. He understood that Master Dao had a longer-term consideration than him, but it was really hard for him to accept this.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Niu Youdao asked: "You know how far the situation is. I won't force you to do anything or not. I can let the matchmaker plan, but she is not as bold as you in this regard, and she is not as experienced as you."
.”
Let Guan Fangyi plan this, not to mention Niu Youdao, even Yuan Gang himself was worried, and finally said in a low voice: "If you have to do it, it is better to use Gongsun Bu, it is safer than using Bailijie."
Niu Youdao vetoed it without hesitation: "Either don't do it, or if you do it, you can't risk it in vain. You must maximize your benefits. Controlling Bailijie can play a greater role!"
Yuan Gang understood that once he touched those two women, he would attack Baili Jie.
"Give me a feasible and thorough plan." Niu Youdao raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then turned around with his sword, opened the door, and went out.
…
In the days that followed, Niu Youdao's job was to pay attention to all news, collect intelligence from all parties, and pay attention to changes in the situation.
The other countries were obviously unable to ignore the situation in Yan, and almost all of them were involved in it.
Facing the support of Jin, Wei and Qi, it became difficult for Han and Song Dynasties to shake the Yan State.
Korea and Song Dynasty sent a large number of monks to support the Cangzhou rebels, and the Western Three Kingdoms also sent a large number of monks to fight against them, allowing the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom to free up their hands to fully assist the Yan army in defending the heavy troops assembled on the border between Korea and Song Dynasty.
It made Korea and Song Dynasty not dare to cross the thunder pool easily.
The sticking point is still within the Yan State. Once the Yan State collapses completely, the Yan State's army gathered on the border will be defeated without a fight.
In order to defeat each other, the battlefield extended beyond the borders of the countries.
Han and Song Dynasties sent monks to attack the fleet of the Three Kingdoms of the West to support the Yan Kingdom on the sea route, hoping to destroy the supplies of the Yan Ting army. The monks of the Three Kingdoms of the West tried their best to protect them.
Han and Song Dynasties were also providing large amounts of supplies to the Cangzhou rebels. However, the border was blocked by the huge army gathered by Yan Ting, and both Korea and Song Dynasty had to transport goods by sea by fleet. Therefore, it is also disrespectful to come and not go back.
, the monks of the Western Three Kingdoms also sent people to attack the sea fleets of Korea and Song Dynasty.
The two sides fought against each other on the sea, killing each other non-stop, and countless monks stained the blue sea with blood.
The State of Zhao is trying to make a fortune, and all the materials that are exported to the State of Yan have to pass through the waters of the State of Zhao by sea, and the territory of the State of Zhao by land. What if Zhao does not interfere and does not give benefits?
The lion of the State of Zhao opened his mouth and asked for half of all supplies passing through the territory of the State of Zhao.
Finally, under the pressure of the Western Three Kingdoms, Zhao relented and only asked for 30% of the food, weapons and horses exported to Yan. Zhao could reap 30% of the food, weapons and horses without doing anything. There is really no faster way to get rich in the world.
.
In the Piaomiao Pavilion, the ranking people are divided into three factions. One faction is neutral and silent, while the other two factions are arguing fiercely. The Piaomiao Pavilion turns a blind eye and has no conclusion about this.
…
In front of Black Peony's tomb, Niu Youdao stands with his sword in hand and silently closes his eyes.
Gongsun Bu arrived and handed over a piece of information, "Master Dao, this is the summary of the war situation."
Niu Youdao had no intention of accepting it. He closed his eyes and asked slowly: "The first batch of reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived. Has the battle situation changed?"
Gongsun Bu sighed: "The first batch of reinforcements that arrived were defeated in a battle. They were no match for the rebels!"
Niu Youdao opened his eyes and tilted his head to look, "The rebels only have so many people, how can they be defeated in one battle?"
Gongsun Bu: "Master Dao, the situation is different. According to the news, there is a war, and there are refugees everywhere. For the sake of stuttering, I don't know how many people gathered into bandits to plunder. It is not as far away from the Three Kingdoms of the West as we are here, and Yuanzhou is far away from the Song Kingdom.
Very recently, the Cangzhou rebels tried their best to open up the Yuanzhou sea channel, and a large amount of supplies from Korea and Song Dynasty were transported to the place. With a large amount of food on hand, Wu Gongling gathered rogue bandits to donate. In order to fill their stomachs, a large number of rogue bandits came
Defection. In a short period of time, Wu Gongling has gained millions more people. As long as there are hungry refugees, he will have no shortage of troops, and he will use war as training all the way!"
Niu Youdao: "What about the imperial court? Can't they follow suit and curb the refugees from joining the rebels?"
Gongsun Bu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The imperial court is using almost the whole country to deal with the two countries of Korea and Song Dynasty. It is still waiting for the assistance of the three Western countries. It is too late to collect food from everywhere. How can we get so much food to help the refugees? We really need to provide rations for the army.
I'm afraid I'll be defeated if I don't fight."
"Alas!" Niu Youdao sighed softly. With this war, I don't know how many people will have their families destroyed.
He had never experienced such an era in his previous life, but now that he was in the midst of a war, he had a personal experience of it. Rich families stinked with wine and meat, and people died of starvation on the road. It was really not just talk.
Gongsun Bloomer then asked: "Master Tao, I heard that a mysterious guest came to the guest house?"
Niu Youdao smiled faintly, "There is no mysterious guest, it's just Yun Ji, the owner of Duyun Mountain."
Gongsun Bu was surprised, "What is she doing here?"
Niu Youdao waved his finger and pointed at the world, "Look at the chaos in Dayan, do you think our Nanzhou can be spared in a small corner? I had to make preparations for the worst and went to Duyun Mountain to borrow troops.
The demons from Duyun Mountain are on their way."
Gongsun Bu smiled and said: "It's Tao Master's great dignity that he allowed Du Yunshan to take the risk of getting involved in such a thing."
Niu Youdao sighed: "Why do I have such a big reputation? I spend a lot of money. How can I hire someone to do things without spending money? Of course, it's not all about money. Yun Huan, the head of Duyun Mountain, is my sworn sworn friend."
Brother, he has given me some face. Besides, I don’t want them to be directly involved in fighting and killing. I just want to contribute to the defense of Nanzhou. Not only Duyun Mountain, but also my sworn sister
, I have sent a message to the ghost mother of the Trap Yin Mountain, and I hope she can also lead the ghost cultivators of the Trap Yin Mountain to come to help."
"..." Gongsun Bu was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Another sworn brother appeared. How many sworn brothers did this one have?
…
Inside the Yingwu Hall of Nanzhou Governor's Mansion.
Bang! Shang Chaozong, who received the intelligence information, slapped the information on the case with one palm.
He walked back and forth angrily, "An army of 100,000 people faced a group of rabble and was defeated in a single battle. How was this battle fought?"
Lan Ruoting sighed: "Although they are a ragtag group of rogue bandits, they are facing half a million people, and Wu Shanling is also a veteran who has experienced many battles."
Meng Shanming said slowly: "On the one hand, Wu Shanling is commanding properly, but on the other hand, Kang Maojin, the governor of Pangzhou, is also coping, intending to preserve his strength. Before other reinforcements arrive, I hope he and Wu Shanling will fight to the end... Haha!"
Shang Chaozong looked at the large map of the Yan Kingdom hanging on the wall, opened his arms and said angrily: "We all want to preserve our strength. If this continues, our Shang family, Dayan, will perish! Wu Gongling, don't fall into the hands of this king, otherwise
I will cut you to death with a thousand knives!" He turned around suddenly and said, "I would like to take the initiative and lead the troops of Nanzhou to fight against the rebellion. What do you think?"
Meng Shanming lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
Lan Ruoting looked confused: "Your Majesty, if Taoist does not agree, Dachanshan will not allow you to do this. On this matter, Dachanshan firmly stands on the side of Taoist. If Taoist does not let go, Nan
The state army cannot leave Nanzhou. Master Dao said that before we take action, we should hold our troops still, store up supplies, and recharge our batteries! Master Dao’s instructions are clear and clear. You can only listen to half of the words of the three major sects. The path of the Western Three Kingdoms
We must also find ways to seize some of Nanzhou’s grain, weapons, and war horses, and keep them in Nanzhou for savings and as reserves just in case.”
"Oh my God!" Shang Chaozong spread his hands and shook them, saying with great grief and anger: "In this way, what is the difference between us and those who only care about preserving their strength regardless of the survival of Yan? No, we are worse than them, they are just
To preserve our strength, not only do we preserve our strength, we actually deprive the imperial court of supplies at this time of national crisis!"
Meng Shanming sighed softly, "Your Majesty, Taoist Master's idea may not be wrong. Those people are all trying to preserve their strength, so it would be a waste to give all the supplies to them. Your Majesty, Taoist Master is not a person without aim. He must have a point in what he said.
The reason for saying that.”
Shang Chaozong pointed at the door angrily, "He spends all day traveling in the Thatched Cottage. What's the reason? In the final analysis, it's not about preserving strength. The survival of Dayan is not what he cares about..."
Meng Shanming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Lan Ruoting ran to the door in panic and looked outside carefully. He was worried that Shang Chaozong's loud voice would be heard by others. If these words reached Niu Youdao's ears, he could not imagine the consequences.
That Taoist priest usually seemed gentle, but he was definitely not a good person in his heart.
In Nanzhou, if there is anyone who can replace the Shang Dynasty clan without causing any impact, it is only Niu Youdao!
The prestige of Niu Youdao and the businessmen and cultivators in Nanzhou can all be dealt with!
Shang Chaozong seemed to have woken up with a start. He gradually lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Send a message to Maolu Villa. I want to meet the Taoist Master!"
As he said, the news spread immediately.
However, there was only one line in the news sent back from the Maolu Villa: Missing! All over Nanzhou, troops were stationary, accumulating food and recharging their energy. Those who act rashly will die!
After seeing the short content on the paper, there was no room for negotiation at all. Shang Chaozong slumped down on his chair, completely losing his temper.
