The three of them were not fools to become the heads of the three major sects. What was the purpose of calling those five elders here? Naturally, they knew something very well and knew that some people wanted to preserve their strength and refused to use their strength.
But what can be done? The situation in Yan State is already in danger. Killing those elders will cause internal chaos among the three major factions?
Now that Nanzhou is suddenly doing this, the three leaders don't know whether they should be happy or not.
In order to preserve their strength, those five tried their best to get Nanzhou to take action. However, when Nanzhou made a move, it forced those five to work hard.
Going around and around and back again, I wonder if those five people felt like they shot themselves in the foot.
Those five and Nanzhou both used their strength, and the fight was so exciting that the three masters all felt pain in their feet for those five.
It used to be good, you just put in your efforts honestly and that's it. Now it's good. Not only do you have to do your best, but your efforts are not rewarded. If the counter-insurgency fails, you will suffer huge losses. If the counter-insurgency is successful, Nanzhou will lose all of its reputation.
The reason is obvious. The five princes had failed in their campaigns before, but now they are winning because Nanzhou has a good commander. Although the five princes are still working hard, the credit goes to Nanzhou.
The three heads looked at me and I looked at you, a little speechless.
In order to protect Yan State and the interests of the three major factions, the three of them naturally had no objections to Nanzhou's decision. However, they felt that the three major factions still suffered a loss, and they felt that Nanzhou was still superior.
"Hey, I don't have any objections." Meng Xuan smiled bitterly and drank the wine.
Long Xiu and Gong Lince didn't have any objections. After understanding the situation, the eunuch stepped back and turned around to leave.
…
Inside the camp, Xiaoyao Palace elders Shi Sheng and Su Qitong stared at each other with big eyes.
After a moment of silence, Shi Sheng lowered his head and looked at the counter-insurgency law in his hand, his brows furrowed in confusion, with a depressed look on his face.
After a while, Shi Shengfang raised his head again and asked: "The Nanzhou people really dare to attack the Haozhou people?"
Su Qitong said: "Elder Shi, you shouldn't ask me this, but I should ask you. Nanzhou really dares to attack the people who are helping the three major sects?"
Shi Sheng let out a sigh. How should he explain this? The key point is that no one of the three major factions can jump out to accuse. The Yan Kingdom will be destroyed. The three major factions will all collapse because of the rebels. Nanzhou will also collapse.
He did not say that he was taking action against the three major sects, but that he was enforcing military laws against the princes who were unfavorable in suppressing the rebellion. This was to protect the Yan Kingdom and the interests of the three major sects. As an elder of the three major sects, he could openly stand up and accuse
?
He waved his hand and said, "Answer my question first."
Su Qitong's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood that in this matter, the young prince had lost his temper, but he was restrained by the young prince.
Thinking of his connection with Prince Ning, the young prince began to spread his wings and fly, and he didn't know whether he should feel happy or not.
After a brief consideration, he said slowly: "Is open military law child's play? Elder Shi, I don't know about others, but I know Meng Shanming very well. Military law is like a mountain. If you dare to delay the war, there is nothing you dare not do. If you leave aside the three major
If the faction doesn’t mention it, if the Haozhou people dare to delay the military order, the Nanzhou people will definitely enforce military law!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Report!"
A piece of intelligence was sent here. According to the report, Nanzhou did not dispatch 400,000 troops, but only 100,000 troops!
The two looked at each other in confusion, and Shi Sheng tried to ask again: "You have brought out a total of 200,000 Haozhou troops, so why are you afraid of the threat of 100,000 troops?"
Su Qitong tapped the paper on his hand and said, "Elder Shi, there are a hundred thousand cavalry! They come and go like the wind, Yingyang Wu Liewei, this is not a fear of his threat, but a real threat!"
Shi Sheng hesitated and asked, "What if all the five princes delay sending troops?"
Su Qitong: "Does Elder Shi still think that the Nanzhou troops dare not enforce military law? If I were the commander-in-chief of Nanzhou, I would kill them all as a warning! Whoever is close to the Nanzhou troops will be the first to suffer misfortune, and we are the closest!"
Shi Sheng was confused and undecided.
This feeling is too uncomfortable. It is impossible to openly defy the general's military orders to suppress the rebellion. The Yan State and the three major factions are facing this situation, and they dare to openly disobey the order? His identity is the elder of the three major factions.
Even if you give him the courage, he won't dare to do this. At most, he will only dare to delay it in a treacherous manner!
But the other side wants to fight him hard. Once the Nanzhou people really want to enforce military law, they will take advantage of both emotions and reasons. Once the Nanzhou people launch an attack, it will not matter whether they resist or not. They will not follow the rebels.
Fighting for blood, instead of fighting against the imperial court's anti-rebellion troops, cannot be justified emotionally or rationally. Again, his identity is the elder of the three major sects.
At this critical moment, when faced with this kind of thing, neither the imperial court nor the three major factions would speak for him.
But he was still unwilling to give in and asked: "How about avoiding and hiding?"
Su Qitong: "Elder Shi, where can we hide when there is such a huge movement of 200,000 people? There are so many people who depend on supplies for their food and clothing. There is no way to hide! People have four legs, and most of us have two legs. Running
Can we win against others? We can't break up into pieces and hide. If we really do this, we will lose even the last fig leaf. It is obvious that we are avoiding war. How can the elders explain to the three major factions?"
Shi Sheng paced back and forth, Nanzhou was holding the command order of the general who suppressed the rebellion, which made him feel uncomfortable, and he secretly cursed those who made the decision to release military power to Nanzhou.
Suddenly another voice came from outside, "Report!"
What was sent in this time was not intelligence, but a military order issued by the counter-rebellion headquarters: Haozhou troops were ordered to immediately send troops to Luoxialing and conquer the passes occupied by the rebels at all costs. After that, the Haozhou army advanced with a full-scale offensive and pushed the rebels
Suppress the area east of the Qianli River, and then defend the river. Collect and control all bridges and boats crossing the river to prevent the rebels from advancing westward. Cooperate with the other four armies to encircle and suppress the rebels!
"Report!"
They wanted to launch an attack at all costs. Su Qitong and Shi Sheng were discussing whether to implement the military order, but unexpectedly a new military order arrived.
The new military order gives this side three days. If the Luoxialing Pass cannot be taken within three days, it will be regarded as avoiding the war and slacking off. The Nanzhou Law Enforcement Supervisor will immediately launch an attack on the Haozhou army!
Three military orders came in succession, each one more aggressive than the last, leaving no room for negotiation. Shi Sheng's teeth were itching with hatred!
At the same time, the other four princes and horses also successively received military orders from the general to counter the rebellion.
Xu Jingyue of Gongzhou was ordered to send troops to Yuanzhou occupied by the Cangzhou rebels, cut off the rebels' material supply from the sea, and block and compress the rebels from the south.
Anxian of Tuzhou was ordered to summon troops to launch an all-out attack from the north to block and compress the rebels.
Fuzhou Shi Xinmao's troops were ordered to launch an all-out attack from the east to block and compress the rebels.
Changzhou Zhang Hu's troops were ordered to break through from Dangmen Mountain, and the army marched straight into the hinterland of the rebels. They were ready to obey orders and cooperate with the encirclement and attack of the four groups of troops.
This is tantamount to launching an attack on the rebels from four directions at the same time, leaving the rebels with nothing to do but sending a group of troops inside to cause trouble.
Military orders have deadlines and specify when strategic and tactical goals must be achieved.
However, all five people were waiting and watching.
…
"A good one who doesn't suppress the rebels but only the princes!"
In the Chinese army tent by the river, Luo Zhao took pictures of the information he had on the table, walked to the map, and said solemnly: "What's going on at Wu Gongling? Why haven't you reduced your troops? Do you want to just sit back and wipe it out like a pile of loose sand?"
"
Wen You said: "What I mean there is that it depends on the situation."
Luo Zhao turned around and said, "Such a dispersed force cannot delay the fight against Yan's rebellion. Immediately contact South Korea to jointly supervise Wu Gongling!"
"yes!"
…
One day passed, and there was still no movement from the people in Haozhou.
The Shang Dynasty Zong acted vigorously and resolutely on the battlefield. The 50,000 cavalrymen who had been assembled in Nanzhou immediately set off to attack the Haozhou people. There is no doubt about their decisiveness!
"Report!"
The military information was delivered. When Su Qitong took a look, his expression changed and he said to Shi Sheng: "Elder Shi, the Nanzhou troops have rushed towards us like thunder. The checkpoints we set up along the way have been cleared and more than a thousand of us have been killed."
Man! Elder Shi, this is no child's play, he is really going to attack us!"
Shi Sheng grabbed the military information to check, and then his face changed drastically, and he said with hatred: "How dare a group of people who don't know life or death dare to be so presumptuous!"
He had just been lucky and wanted to wait and see if Nanzhou really dared to attack his troops. Who would have thought that it would not take three days, but only one day to come with murderous intent.
He tore up the paper in his hand and waved his hand irritably.
The Haozhou army immediately set off and rushed to the Luoxialing Pass. After receiving the order, the troops in front immediately launched an attack on Luoxialing.
There are actually not many defenders in Luoxialing. The problem is that they are unwilling to use force to preserve their strength. To be honest, they paid the price of more than a thousand casualties and were captured in less than half a day.
The Haozhou army entered the Luoxialing Pass in a mighty manner and headed straight for the rebels behind the ridge.
The Nanzhou cavalry almost followed them, got behind the Haozhou men and horses, and almost forced the Haozhou men and horses to attack the enemy with knives on the necks of the Haozhou men and horses.
"Your Majesty, Elder Shi Sheng of Xiaoyao Palace is here!" A general came to the Shang Chaozong's Chinese military tent to report.
Several people in the tent looked at each other, and they all knew that the army was coming to investigate, and they all looked at Shang Chaozong.
Shang Chaozong said expressionlessly: "Stop him and drive him away. If he dares to trespass, let the Jin, Wei and Qi monks take him down!"
What happened next was that Shi Sheng indeed broke in without permission and was captured.
"Shang Chaozong, you are so brave, how dare you touch me!"
Outside the tent, Shi Sheng roared angrily, and he and the two disciples who came with him were restrained by the monks from the Three Kingdoms of the West.
He originally wanted to make trouble about the previous killing of the checkpoint guard to lose face to the Shang Dynasty clan, but who would have thought that the Shang Dynasty clan was so bold as to dare to arrest him!
The monks from the Three Kingdoms of the West had long disliked these bastards. They had been tricked by these bastards before, and they had killed several of them happily.
Hearing the scolding outside, everyone in the tent looked at each other.
Shang Chaozong asked, "Have the other four people not moved yet?"
A general replied: "We haven't received any news of any movement yet."
Shang Chaozong said coldly: "It seems that I can't do it without killing people to sacrifice the flag. I will kill those who roar outside and disturb the morale of the army..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked. Ga Miaoshui and Huang Lie opened their eyes wide, thinking that they heard wrongly.
"Prince..." Meng Shanming spoke out, as if he wanted him to think again, but Shang Chaozong glanced at him coldly, and fell silent before he finished speaking.
The cloak that was in the way was swung behind him with a wave of his hand. The Shang Dynasty Zong Tan put his hand on the arrow pot on the table, pulled out a command arrow, and threw it out of the tent with a wave of his hand.
Everyone watched as the command arrow rolled out of the air, flew out of the tent and landed on the ground, where it landed diagonally on the grass.
What followed was the Shang Chaozong's heart-stopping shout, "Behead!"
