Niu Youdao will not leak the truth about the source of the information easily. "This is not important. What is important is that Xiaoyao Palace is sure of the next rebellion. It doesn't matter whether the prince is used or not. We have to settle accounts with the prince."
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes and said again: "There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Nanzhou, how dare Xiaoyao Palace do anything random?"
Niu Youdao: "I won't mess around. I'll capture the king first, and prepare to control the prince first. They want to catch me off guard!"
Guan Fangyi was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
Niu Youdao: "I am not with the prince, and I have never appeared next to the prince, which makes people confused. Long Xiu estimates that I will find a way to deal with the prince killing Shi Sheng, and I am indeed thinking of a way to deal with it. The prince openly
By killing the elders of Xiaoyao Palace, the reputation of Xiaoyao Palace was greatly lost. Long Xiu, the head of the palace, could not sit back and watch. But he was also afraid that if things were about to happen, I would be blocked if he took action after the major event was decided, so he decided to take action at this time. It is true.
It was brilliant, and it really caught me off guard. I didn't expect that they could suddenly change the commander at the critical moment of suppressing the rebellion."
Guan Fangyi suddenly looked weird and said jokingly: "From what you said, Long Xiu is a little afraid of you? Our Taoist master is really not humble."
What did Niu Youdao say? The strength of the two sides was not proportional. He didn't think Long Xiu had any reason to be afraid of him, but this was Gao Jianchengxinli's statement. Long Xiu said that Niu Youdao was the most unpredictable change.
After the imperial court agreed, Shang Yongzhong cooperated with Xiaoyao Palace. Gao Jiancheng had figured out the plan there and sent detailed information to let them prepare in advance.
Seeing that he remained silent, Guan Fangyi asked, "What should I do?"
Niu Youdao thought about it and said: "After arresting Shang Chaozong and forcing me to show up, I guess I will be asked to settle the matter in Nanzhou later. Once Nanzhou is fine, it will be the day of the prince's death."
Guan Fangyi sighed, "Oh, this prince! Fortunately, you knew the news in advance. Please inform the prince to escape immediately."
Niu Youdao also wanted to do this. That was his first thought. But then he thought about it. If he really did this, Gao Jiancheng might be exposed. Gao Jiancheng's position was worth millions of troops. He couldn't make any mistakes easily.
He must find a way to protect him and not let any doubts fall on Gao Jicheng.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "They are still arguing about the hundreds of thousands of prisoners over there?"
Guan Fangyi nodded, "That's what the news from Gongsun Bu said."
Niu Youdao nodded: "Exactly, this is an excellent excuse. A message was sent to the prince. The prince will continue to take charge of the counter-rebellion, and let Meng Shanming lead the 100,000 cavalry to retreat. The prince made an immediate decision on the matter of the prisoners, and Meng Shanming took command.
One hundred thousand cavalry escorted the hundreds of thousands of captives back to the previous war-torn places. Most of the people in Dachan Mountain evacuated with Meng Shanming. Tell the prince and Meng Shuai that this is the prince's own decision and cannot let others know that it is mine.
mean."
"This..." Guan Fangyi was surprised, "At this time, if we reduce the number of guards around the prince, wouldn't it be easier for the prince to be in danger?"
Niu Youdao: "He must bear the risk for what he does by himself. He cannot be borne entirely by others. He has been too smooth in the past few years and should suffer some punishment. Meng Shanming must be transferred, otherwise Meng Shanming must be transferred."
I will not sit idly by and let him be in danger. I don’t want this old coach to fall under such a conspiracy, and I must first ensure his safety."
Guan Fangyi didn't understand why he did this, and said anxiously: "Master Dao, you can definitely ask Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming to evacuate at this time!"
Niu Youdao turned around and glanced at him coldly, "Quick! Get it done immediately!" There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Guan Fangyi sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, but knowing that there must be a reason for his decision, she could only turn around and execute it.
After a golden wing was released, she came back and asked again: "Aren't you going to inform Huang Lie?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, the main force has withdrawn. Faced with the attack from Xiaoyao Palace, Huang Lie will not fight for the prince, but will retreat honestly. There is no need to warn. The more people are warned, the easier it is to leak.
information."
…
At the place where the army gathered, not long after a golden wing fell, Gongsun Bu hurriedly came to the main tent. He saw Zongzheng of the Shang Dynasty discussing the next counter-insurgency plan with a group of generals. He waited aside until Zongzong of the Shang Dynasty looked at him.
, he gave a wink.
Shang Chaozong knew it well and knew that there must be some new instructions from Niu Youdao, so he quickly brought the plan to an end and asked everyone to retreat.
At this time, Gongsun Bufang presented the news from Niu Youdao.
After reading the secret letter, Shang Chaozong was also a little surprised. He pondered for a while and then slowly nodded: "Reply to the letter and do it immediately."
Gongsun Bu cupped his hands, turned and left.
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked, "Do you have any orders from Master Dao?"
Shang Chaozong stepped forward and gave him the secret letter.
Meng Shanming read the letter and was surprised, "At this time, do you want the forces around the prince to evacuate?"
After Zonglue of the Shang Dynasty hesitated, he said slowly: "Master Tao will not act without aim. There must be some reason for doing this at this time."
Meng Shanming frowned, he understood the reason, but he felt that doing so would easily put the prince in danger, but he really couldn't figure out Niu Youdao's intention, so he remained silent.
Shang Chaozong turned around and shouted, "Please come over, Master Huang."
"Yes!" the orderer outside responded.
Not long after, Huang Lie led several elders to come quickly, entered the tent, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Zong Zong of the Shang Dynasty said forcefully: "I have made up my mind and decided to take those prisoners back and resettle them first..."
As soon as he told the plan, Huang Lie was stunned for a moment and asked: "Our men and horses have escorted the prisoners, what will you do, Your Majesty?"
Zongdao of the Shang Dynasty: "Don't worry, Mr. Emperor, I will not harm myself, I will make my own decision."
After internal coordination was completed, Shang Chaozong immediately issued a general order. This order made other people surprised. Unexpectedly, Shang Chaozong decided to pardon the prisoners.
He gave the order forcefully, and the other princes could not say anything.
Only Ga Miaoshui strongly opposed it, believing that Shang Chaozong should not make decisions on these prisoners without authorization and should wait for the court's arrangements.
But his objections were of no use here. The army still carried out what it was supposed to do, and would not carry out his Ga Miaoshui opinions.
Later, Meng Shanming personally commanded the army, took the prisoners into custody, and left under the watch of everyone.
Afterwards, under the protection of Huang Lie and others, Shang Chaozong merged with the command center of Su Qitong from Haozhou and commanded the army to continue chasing and suppressing the Wu Gongling rebels.
…
After all, both men and horses will get tired, and the army will inevitably pause to rest while on the move.
A group of guests came quietly outside the temporary camp of An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou. Shen Yuhong, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, and a group of experts from Xiaoyao Palace quietly came from the forest nearby.
Yuan Long, the chief teacher of Lingjian Mountain who was in charge of the troops in Tuzhou, came out after hearing the news. After seeing Shen Yuhong, he asked strangely: "Brother Shen, why are you here?"
An Xianzhao then emerged from the tent, said hello, and then left. He wanted to avoid the matter of the two groups of monks.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuhong raised his hand and said, "Mr. An, please stay."
A group of people here are confused and don't know what they are doing.
An Xianzhao asked in confusion: "What is Elder Shen's order?"
Shen Yuhong pointed to the Zhongjun tent, "There are many people outside, can you go in and say something?"
An Xianzhao looked at Shi Yuanlong, who asked in confusion: "Brother Shen, what is going on?"
Shen Yuhong smiled and reached into his sleeves, took out one of the two letters in his sleeves and showed it to him.
When Shi Yuanlong opened the letter, he found that it was from Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain. The letter only contained various explanations, but his expression changed suddenly when he saw it. Then he stretched out his hand and made the decision on behalf of An Xianzhao, "Please ask inside .”
The irrelevant people retreated, a group of people entered, and after the curtains were lowered, Shi Yuan Longfang said in a deep voice: "You want to attack the Shang Dynasty Sect?"
An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou who was watching, was surprised and realized the purpose of these people's visit.
Shen Yuhong said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuanlong, has he forgotten that senior brother Ling died in the hands of Prince Ning?"
Shi Yuanlong raised his eyebrows slightly, that matter has already passed, what are you talking about with me?
Shen Yuhong continued: "Now this Shang Dynasty sect, who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, actually imitated his father and moved on my Xiaoyao Palace's head. He is really impatient. How can our Xiaoyao Palace let him run rampant? We really don't dare to deal with it." him?"
Shi Yuanlong looked at the letter in his hand again, "If you want to move, I have no objection, but I want to remind you that he is not that easy to move. If you are not careful, you may cause trouble."
Shen Yuhong laughed, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be secretive at this time."
Prince? Everyone looked at him and saw that among the people who came with Xiaoyao Palace, one person raised his hand and tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true face. It was Shang Yongzhong, the great commander of the Yan Kingdom, who smiled and bowed to everyone. He handed over his hand and said, "Forgive me for my sins. I have no choice but to forgive you."
Shi Yuanlong was surprised, "Prince De?"
An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou on the side, was also shocked and realized that not only Xiaoyao Palace, but also the imperial court was going to attack Shang Chaozong.
In view of the nominal superior-subordinate relationship, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "General, I will see Da Sima!"
"Hey, you don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite." Shang Yongzhong smiled and supported him with both hands, and patted his arm, "General An, we haven't seen each other for some years, and your style is even better than before, haha!" His attitude was extremely affectionate! .
An Xianzhao said a few polite words to accompany him, saying that he was not from the same group at all. Although he was the Grand Sima of the Yan State, he was the one who supported the soldiers and respected himself below, so there was nothing to be affectionate about.
Shen Yuhong said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be polite. You'd better talk about something if you have something to say."
"Okay, okay." Shang Yongzhong nodded, glanced around, stared at the hanging map, walked up to the map, searched for it with his fingers for a while, and said: "About fifty miles away from here, there is a road The long and narrow mountain range, once the Shang Dynasty Sect's 100,000 cavalry enters, the masters can demolish both ends of the mountain range. The 100,000 cavalry cannot display their vertical and horizontal skills here, and they become turtles in the jar. They can be wiped out in one fell swoop, easily and without much effort."
He looked back at the crowd and said with a smile: "Of course, this matter requires the cooperation of General An's troops."
