Chapter 645: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying
Then he faced Shang Jianxiong and said, "As long as the army leaves Nanzhou, even if he wins, he will inevitably suffer huge losses. Isn't it easy to kill the Nanzhou army afterwards? It's too easy to cut off the army's supplies.
Got it!"
Shang Jianxiong nodded repeatedly and said: "Da Sikong is an old man who plans for the country."
Tong Mo: "The issue now is not whether to give the general the military power to suppress the rebellion, but whether the temporary military power can be used to persuade Nanzhou to send troops. If the other side insists on using the military power of Da Sima as an excuse to send troops, then everything will be in vain.
At that time, we can only try our best to force the five princes to sacrifice their lives, but it is really impossible..." The words stopped here.
Shang Jianxiong was about to listen to what he had to say. Seeing that he had listened, he quickly asked: "How is it?"
Tong Mo seemed to have made a lot of determination before he said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll ask the State of Zhao for help and ask the State of Zhao to send troops to help!"
Shang Yongzhong had been discussing his position in the past, but Shang Yongzhong didn't speak. This matter had nothing to do with him, so he finally spoke up, "Zhao Guo has ulterior motives on the sidelines and is just sitting back and enjoying the success. How can he easily use troops for my country, Yan?"
"Of course not, but we can talk! We can first send someone to contact His Majesty's aunt, the Queen Mother Shang, and ask her to help speak. If that doesn't work, we will cede Nanzhou to Zhao as a condition for sending troops." Tong Mo gritted his teeth and said this traitorous statement.
Word.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this must be a betrayal of the country, but in the eyes of the few in front of them, it is a forced act of breaking off one's arm to survive.
Several people's eyes flickered, sensing his sinister intentions. If Nanzhou did not send troops, they would simply give Nanzhou to Zhao in exchange for the opportunity to send troops.
As an emperor, Shang Jianxiong was a little hesitant to cede land and found it difficult to say.
Shang Yongzhong hesitated and said: "Nanzhou is a thorn in the side. If it is ceded to the State of Zhao, it will be difficult for the State of Zhao to swallow it smoothly. Based on this, I am afraid that the State of Zhao will not agree easily."
Tong Mo gritted his teeth again and said: "Then cede Dingzhou to Zhao again. If you don't agree, we will cede another state until Zhao agrees to send troops!"
Shang Jianxiong remained silent.
Gao Jiancheng, who was also silent for a while, said slowly: "If we really do this, I will never be able to shake off the reputation of being a traitorous minister of Dayan for the rest of my life."
Tong Mo looked back and said, "Do you think I am willing to see this situation happen? This way, at least Dayan can be saved. A surviving Dayan is better than a destroyed Dayan! As long as Dayan is still there, there will still be lost things.
Take the opportunity back, otherwise you will lose both!"
This topic is relatively heavy, but once it comes to life and death, what is more important than staying alive? At that time, we can only survive in this way.
Shang Jianxiong's silence means he has no objection, which means that the matter has basically been settled. He will first test it out as a counter-rebellion general to see if he can get Nanzhou to send troops. If there is no other way, he can only do what Tong Mo said.
Survive with a broken arm.
Gao Jiancheng sighed helplessly. As expected, he had expected it. He would rather give it to foreign thieves than to domestic slaves. He would rather cede the territory to others than give the military power of the chief commander of Yan State to the Shang Dynasty.
He could also understand Tong Mo's attitude. First of all, it was because of Shang Jianxiong, and secondly, because of Tong Mo himself. There was a lot of unpleasantness between Tong Mo and Prince Ning back then, and the feud seemed to stem from that woman in Jinzhou.
At that time, many people coveted the beauty of that woman, and Tong Mo was one of them. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to possess the woman. I heard that the woman had already obtained it and took off her clothes. Just when it was about to happen,
King Ning, who had returned from the expedition, heard the news and led his troops to come and beat Tong Mo so hard that Tong Mo lost all face. Later, the woman seemed to have followed King Ning. Someone robbed her and she became a joke in the capital.
This is Tong Mo’s great shame and humiliation!
Later, King Ning repeatedly criticized Tong Mo's character and prevented Tong Mo from ascending to the throne. With some subsequent events, how could Tong Mo dare to let King Ning's son regain the military power of the Yan Kingdom!
It was precisely because of this hatred that Tong Mo and Prince Ning were on opposite sides, and because of this, he was recruited to fight against Prince Ning, and he has been a very popular minister to this day!
After the three important ministers left the imperial study, Shang Jianxiong sighed, watched the three people leave, shook his head and said, "Da Situ is a little out of character today."
After getting closer, Tian Yu chuckled and said: "It's somewhat selfish. After all, my son died in the hands of Niu Youdao and those people. They went to assassinate Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao controlled Nanzhou with one hand. Once Nanzhou is let
With the military power over there, the Gao family still doesn’t know what the outcome will be.”
Shang Jianxiong said: "Man, how can anyone not be selfish? As long as the selfishness is not harmful to the country, as long as the selfishness is on the side of national affairs, it doesn't hurt! Da Situ still has a heart of loyalty to the country." His eyes were full of sympathy.
Gao Jiancheng looked pleased. As long as the ministers around him united closely with him, he had nothing to fear.
Tian Yu bowed, "Your Majesty said so."
Outside the hall, Gao Jiancheng strode forward. Tong Mo deliberately slowed down his pace. Shang Yongzhong glanced at him and also slowed down.
After Gao Jiancheng left, Tong Mo said slowly, "Da Situ is a little abnormal today compared to the past."
Shang Yongzhong chuckled and helped him secure his position. What's wrong with being abnormal? It would be better to stay like this abnormally from now on. He replied calmly, "It's understandable. My son died in the hands of the other party. It's inevitable that there will be some discomfort."
Excited."
Tong Mo glanced at him sideways and sneered, "Is this really true? I think he is a little abnormal. I think he is deliberately trying to win His Majesty's favor. Don't be blinded by him." The slow pace was just to remind him.
Shang Yongzhong understood what he meant and was worried that he might repay Gao Jiancheng's good intentions and stand on Gao Jiancheng's side. He immediately bowed slightly and said: "Don't worry, Da Sikong. Gao respects His Majesty and follows Da Sikong's orders and will not flatter you."
Confused!"
Tong Mo smiled slightly and then left with normal steps...
The palace's decision quickly spread to Maolu Villa. At this time, it seems that only Maolu Villa can take charge of such matters in Nanzhou.
The Shang Dynasty Sect cannot be the master. Dachan Mountain cannot be so big, so it pretends to be dead on the sidelines for fear of causing trouble.
Therefore, the three major sects basically communicated directly with Maolu Villa about anything they had to do.
After receiving the news, Long Xiu naturally found Niu Youdao immediately.
After hearing what the court wanted, Niu Youdao was a little surprised. He thought the court was going to refuse and he would then lower the conditions. Unexpectedly, the court directly gave the concession result, which saved him from going around in circles.
However, he was still not that happy and sighed, "It seems that the court is still not sincere!"
Long Xiu originally thought that he had used some other means to get the court to agree, but no one thought that it was anything more than that. He found that he had overestimated this guy a little, and wasted some time here. Even Gong Lince and Meng Xuan were dissatisfied.
He complained quite a bit, probably to accuse him. Is there any need to ask the imperial court such a question? The imperial court will definitely not agree, it is simply unnecessary!
"The military power of the Great Sima is not a child's play. It does not mean that the court is not sincere, but it depends on whether you are sincere in countering the rebellion! The general's military power is enough to counter the rebellion, and the size of the court is relatively accurate. If you are not satisfied yet, then
It only shows that you have ulterior motives."
When he said this, Long Xiu glanced at the man in colorful clothes not far away. If the elite forces of the three major sects had not basically gathered on the border army and could not spare any effort to deal with it, how could he have been so polite?
I showed the color of Thatched Cottage.
Previously, because of the grain cutoff, he even had the intention to kill Niu Youdao, but the plan changed. Unexpectedly, the five princes joined forces to be a fool. Before he could kill Niu Youdao, he ran to beg for help.
, killing Niu Youdao at this time will cause chaos in Nanzhou, let alone expect Nanzhou to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Niu Youdao: "Palace Master, it's not that I want to bargain, but that I want to compare my feelings. I just want to ask the Palace Master, what benefits will it bring to Nanzhou after Nanzhou sends troops?"
Long Xiu raised his eyebrows: "What benefits do you want?" He felt a little angry.
Niu Youdao: "The palace master has already reached this point. If I don't send troops anymore, I will be ignorant, and I will not be able to face the palace master again in the future. I only need a comforting reason to send troops, and after the incident is completed, I will not want anything else from the court.
I don’t expect anything from the imperial court. Please give an explanation to the officers and soldiers of Nanzhou and an explanation to Prince Yongping, so that the prince can get back some of what he has lost!”
Long Xiu was curious, "What?"
Niu Youdao: "The position of Prince Ning is a hereditary prince and can be passed down to descendants. Prince Yongping was originally a prince, but was later demoted to a prince. How about restoring the title of prince?"
That's it? This is not a difficult task for Long Xiu. It's just a name for nothing. He agreed on the spot, "Okay, I will guarantee this matter. As long as Nanzhou sends troops to quell the rebellion, no matter whether the quelling of the rebellion is successful or not, I will
I guarantee that Shang Chaozong will get back his title of prince!"
Niu Youdao immediately handed over his hand and said from the bottom of his heart: "The palace master is the guarantor, so Niu Youdao is naturally convinced and asks the court to issue an edict. When the edict comes, it will be the day when the Nanzhou army goes out to quell the rebellion!"
This is the right attitude, Long Xiu smiled...
Having settled this matter, Long Xiu also left and hurried back to the capital to ask the court to issue an urgent decree. This matter could not be delayed any longer.
Shang Shuqing was accompanying Meng Shanming. After Meng Shanming arrived, the only person close to him was Shang Shuqing, and he could only be accompanied by Shang Shuqing.
Niu Youdao, who saw off Long Xiu, arrived and told Meng Shanming the final result. There was no need to avoid Shang Shuqing in this matter.
After learning that she could help her brother regain his lost position as prince, Shang Shuqing remembered something and her eyes turned red inexplicably.
Mengshan Ming also moved his face.
After explaining the details, Niu Youdao said: "The matter has been decided. This is all I can do. Next, it depends on the prince and Meng Shuai."
Meng Shanming sat in a wheelchair and bowed, "I have thanked Taoist Master on behalf of Dayan, and I have thanked Taoist Master on behalf of Prince Wang. Meng Shanming will definitely live up to Taoist Master's great trust and die with dedication!"
Shang Shuqing saluted Niu Youdao while squatting down.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, "I will arrange for Meng Shuai to go back and wait for the court's orders. After Meng Shuai returns, he can remind the prince that the princess is a heroine on the battlefield, and it is time for her to come out and breathe.
, it is better to die on the battlefield than to suffocate her to death at home. The prince has no shortage of women, so why can’t he tolerate Feng Ruonan? Being too unkind and unjust would make people feel chilling. I defrauded the princess of her money back then, and I still haven’t paid it back.
I owe the princess a favor, and I hope the prince can treat her well!"
He didn't say it openly before, but this time he spoke clearly for Feng Ruonan.
Tears immediately appeared in Shang Shuqing's eyes, and she raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes. Guan Fangyi also pursed her lips.
Neither of them expected that Niu Youdao would still be thinking about this matter at this time. The two women were shocked and felt soft in their hearts.
Meng Shanming cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, Lord Dao. I will urge the prince when I get back. If the prince doesn't agree, I will never let go. As long as I am here, I will never let anyone easily embarrass the princess!"
Niu Youdao nodded with his sword, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Meng Shuai has a good journey!"
