Luo Zhao frowned. Even if he could persuade Niu Youdao to rebel against Yan, now is not the time. He should continue to let those monks consume more. At this time, the Nanzhou soldiers and horses were broken. By then, the internal control of the Yan Kingdom would be completely out of control, and the Han and Song armies would
We had to launch an attack on the Yan State. Without an attack, we would not be able to account for the spiritual forces of the two countries.
However, there were some words that he couldn't say to Wen You. He could only frown and said slowly: "In my opinion, that Niu Youdao doesn't seem to be a money-grubbing person. Can he really do such a thing for money?"
Wen You: "Of course it's not all about money. First of all, it's the current situation within the Yan Kingdom. Anyone who takes his position will feel desperate. Secondly, the two factions have promised him that as long as he raises troops, he can make great achievements. He promised
The territory of the three states was given to him, and now he has no choice."
Luo Zhao's eyes fell on the map again, "This person is not a timid young man, and Yan State is not without the strength to suppress the rebellion. He has not yet reached that point, can he make this choice?"
Wen You: "Is the Governor worried about him?"
Luo Zhao stared at the map and seemed to be talking to himself: "As far as I know, he basically doesn't interfere in the military and political affairs of Nanzhou. He obviously doesn't know much about this aspect. So I'm not worried about him. Once he goes to the battlefield and the army gallops around,
Thousands of troops collide and fight, destroying everything. His little strength and means are of no use. I am worried about the other person."
Wen You's eyes flashed slightly and he blurted out, "Meng Shan Ming?"
Luo Zhao nodded slightly, "Meng Shanming is a famous general. His reputation is not in vain and should not be underestimated! When I fought against Yingyang Wu Liewei, Meng Shanming had been disabled and retired. If he commanded it personally, I can't guarantee that I can
In the first few years when I joined the army, I still remember that when Meng Shanming was still there, he almost couldn't breathe under the pressure of Song Dynasty. When his name was mentioned, all the generals in the army were frightened. He had previously captured Nanzhou and fought in Dingzhou.
Everyone has seen the sharpness of this old commander. This man is worth a million soldiers! The sword is not old yet, can he really sit back and watch the Yan Kingdom collapse like this and ignore it?"
Wen You smiled and said: "He is old, but the Grand Governor is still in full glory. Just like the long river outside, the waves behind push the waves ahead. It is an ancient rule that a new generation replaces the old. The Grand Governor is an ever-victorious general. This is the first time I have seen him.
Most governors weaken their own prestige and gain the ambition of others!"
These words aroused Luo Zhao's ambition, and he suddenly became high-spirited and nodded: "Yan Shanming, Qi Wuhen! These two have heard of his name for a long time, but they have never had a chance to fight. If they can really compete with these two
One fight and no regrets in this life!"
Wen You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Meng Shanming only knows the battlefield, without access to the light and darkness of the court, so he became disabled. He is old and unable to save himself. Hu Yan Wuhen, who has been in the court for too long, has many worries, and has lost his spirit.
They are destined to die for the Qi Kingdom. These two people are no longer a worry. If they meet the Grand Governor, they will add two glories to the Grand Governor's record. Counting the most famous people will only look at the present day!"
"Haha!" Luo Zhao smiled and waved his hand, his eyes fell on the map again, "Let's take a look at what's going on over there in Nanzhou. Pay close attention to the situation there, especially Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming. If Nanzhou
If they really start an army to rebel against Yan, if these two people really cooperate, there must be deception, because these two people will never rebel against Yan!" His fingers have already tapped heavily on the map of Nanzhou.
Wen You understood what he meant. If Nanzhou rebelled, it would be true that Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming would not cooperate. If they cooperated, it would be false. He nodded in approval and said: "Let him change in any way, just keep an eye on these two people! Metropolitan Governor Mingjian
, I’ll make arrangements right away.”
…
"Sir, the Fuzhou troops led by Shi Xinmao retreated after a battle with the Cangzhou rebels and were defeated!"
It was raining in Beizhou. In the Governor's Mansion, Shao Dengyun stood under the eaves and watched the raindrops. The housekeeper Yang Shuang, who was walking quickly in the corridor, sighed and reported.
Shao Dengyun's cheeks twitched slightly, and finally he sneered, "Failure, what kind of defeat is it? He clearly wanted to preserve his strength. You expect him to go and have a bloody battle with the Cangzhou rebels first, and he expects you to go and fight the Cangzhou rebels first."
How can the state rebels go all out and be undefeated? Only if they are undefeated will there be trouble!"
Yang Shuang sighed: "It is human nature. When there was a purge, the court was unjust. Many brothers died due to hatred. Everyone was grieving and angry to protect themselves. There is still a grievance. Who would fight for such a court?
, I have to give an explanation to my brothers, I will not let my brother be buried in horse leather easily, and his death will be in vain. Everyone knows that the court will not accept this. I don’t know why I fight to the death, and I have no fighting spirit, so how can I be willing to fight to the death!"
"People's hearts are shattered." Shao Dengyun looked up to the sky and closed his eyes. He shook his head helplessly and said, "What can others say? How can he be better?" He lowered his head again and asked, "Is there no movement over there in Nanzhou yet?"
There was a slight strangeness on Yang Shuang's face, "There is some movement."
"Oh!" Shao Dengyun felt a little more energetic, "How is it?"
Yang Shuang said: "Most of the grain that Wei State lent to Yan State was intercepted by Nanzhou. It was reported that the grain truck was tampered with. The scene was very unbearable..." He showed the situation of the grain truck breaking down along the way.
Talked for a while.
"..." Shao Dengyun was speechless for a while, thinking that Nanzhou was going to send troops to quell the rebellion, but he didn't expect that not only did he not send troops, but he was actually pulling the imperial court's thigh.
…
"Brother!"
"younger brother."
The guests of Maolu Villa are here, Quan Taifeng and Hui Qingping arrive again. This time when they see Niu Youdao, he is really smiling and shouting enthusiastically.
"I didn't expect that brother and eldest sister would come so quickly. I will let you try the food and wine of my thatched cottage this time, so that your trip will be worthwhile." Niu Youdao also smiled warmly and extended his hand to invite you.
"Hey!" Quan Taifeng grabbed Niu Youdao's arm and dragged him towards the villa, "My brother, there is no need to be polite, a cup of tea is enough."
"Exactly! If you are too polite, you will be offended and I won't be happy." Hui Qingping followed with a smile.
Niu Youdao guessed that the other party was here to give him money, and he also wanted the two of them to taste the special delicacies of his villa and treat them well. He didn't want them to be deprived of such a good meal, so he refused.
Anyway, since the other party didn't want it, he didn't bother to trouble the group of monks at Nanshan Temple.
In the waterside pavilion for entertaining guests, it is natural for the guests to sit down and serve tea, and most of the time it is also a decoration.
No matter if they were sworn brothers, I didn't dare to drink casually. It didn't look good when tested on the spot, so I simply stopped moving.
As soon as Quan Taifeng sat down, he pointed at Niu Youdao and praised him, "I've heard all about it. I did a great job this time."
Niu Youdao also got straight to the point. This was the third time we met, so there was no point in going around any longer. "Of course I will keep my brother and eldest sister's orders in mind. I also hope that I, the younger brother, can be kept in mind."
Quan Taifeng and Hui Qingping looked at each other. The latter touched in his sleeves, took out five bills from Tianxia Bank, and pushed them to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao didn't taboo anything. When he got it, he saw one million gold coins per piece, five million in total.
Guan Fangyi, who was shaking a round fan, glanced at the side, her eyes were shining brightly, and her heart was filled with joy. She found that this person was making money just for fun, and there were always people taking the initiative to send money to her door, and the amounts were shockingly large.
, if it can be like this every time, then I won’t have to worry about his bad things in the future.
Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao was not only not happy, but his face turned a little gloomy, "Boy, the number seems wrong, right?" He looked like he was about to fall out.
Quan Taifeng patted the table gently: "Brother, five million is already a lot."
Niu Youdao: "I remember I said 10 million, right?"
Quan Taifeng smiled bitterly and said: "We didn't agree to count it to 10 million."
The fact is that the offer was 10 million, but the other party only agreed to give 5 million. There was no end to the bargaining. In the end, the other party was too lazy to talk to him and asked him to prove it first before negotiating, without agreeing to give 10 million. Who knows?
You were so generous and you really cut off the batch of grain first and got things done first.
When I saw that there was really something going on there, I immediately became energetic and joined in here.
In the past, Niu Youdao would not have thought about this at all, nor did he think that he could get money out of it. However, after going to the capital and having an interview with Gao Jicheng, his thoughts and ideas were different. Knowing that South Korea and Song Dynasty
The country's cultivation sects are now having a very hard time with the Western Three Kingdoms, and the price they have paid is too high. They are eager to end this suffering as soon as possible, so they dare to speak loudly.
Niu Youdao: "I did this with my head on my shoulder. Is my head worth five million?"
Hui Qingping said with a smile: "My words are serious. Under the current situation, Yan State does not dare to touch you easily. Besides, the market price of the batch of grain you intercepted is not worth so much money."
"Hey, that's not what you said." Niu Youdao looked very disapproving, "The market price also depends on where it is placed. In Yan State today, there is not much food available on the market. The imperial court requisitions food and robs it.
Pretty much, if anyone can provide this batch of food, the Yan Kingdom’s court will definitely pay 10 million gold coins.”
Hui Qing smiled sweetly and said, "We didn't ask for the food, but it all belongs to you. Once the war started, money was flowing like water, and we didn't have much money. The two of us put together these five million."
Niu Youdao said with a downcast face: "Sister, if you insist on settling the accounts like this, then there is nothing I can do about it. The money is in your hands, and I can't steal it."
Quan Taifeng waved his hand, "Are you worried that you will have no money if you have the territory? As long as I raise the army, the matter of the three states territory will still count, how about it? Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, the current situation is clear, there is still room for discussion, wait until then
It will be too late when something big happens, there will be no store like this after passing this village."
After Niu Youdao was silent for a while, he said slowly: "It's not that I want to be a faggot. I have an excuse to shirk the food issue. If things go wrong, I will take your money and return the food to the court."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two of them changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked at the bank notes in his hand. Quan Taifeng immediately warned you sternly: "Brother, I would like to advise you, if you really do this, once the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, you will
But there is no way out, and neither of us can protect you, so you'd better look at the situation before making a decision."
If you dare to give money as soon as you come, you are determined to win the final result of the war. Of course, it is not okay if you don't give it. If you don't give it, it will be weird for others to believe you. There is no need to talk about it. This is also the price of risk.
Niu Youdao: "That's why I said that if, if you are defeated or retreat, Nanzhou is really going to rebel, it will be strange that Yan State can let Nanzhou go. You two must not talk about that.
Do you believe that Han and Song Dynasty can save my Nanzhou at all costs? You can ask me to raise an army to rebel, but there must be a prerequisite. If you do it, I will raise an army immediately without any hesitation!"
