Not to mention that the monks from the Yan Kingdom did not dare to do this, it was even more impossible for the monks from the Western Three Kingdoms to assist, as they had already suffered such losses.
Especially the monks of the Jin Dynasty were even more ineffective in their work. The reason was that they had suffered the loss of being cheated like that and had lingering fears.
The people of Yan State were in chaos. No matter how much the wise people in the government and the public cried out and lamented, some people were selfish and it was difficult to unite the people. Facing a famous general like Luo Zhao of the Song Army, the Yan Army was defeated again and again. Every battle was equal to
He was willing to die, and the morale of the army gradually became chaotic.
However, good news was still being circulated in Yanjing, and the good news overshadowed some "rumors" of defeat. In order to stabilize people's hearts and prevent uncontrollable chaos, the ignorant people cheered.
Those sales houses such as brothels and brothels were the first to feel the chill, and their business suddenly became much deserted.
"Master Liu, where are we going?"
At the gate of the city, one of the guard sergeants leading the team asked enthusiastically to a man in Chinese clothes in the car.
The man in Chinese clothes who was sitting in the car smiled slightly, grabbed a money bag and threw it over. He said with a smile: "The weather is nice, let's go out and have some fun."
The leader looked at the things being pulled by the big cart and the small cart behind him, and said in surprise: "Are the whole family going out to play?"
The man in colorful clothes nodded slightly and said, "It's so lively."
The team leader quietly opened the money bag and looked at it. He found it was a bag of silver coins, probably hundreds of them. He quickly lowered his hand and grabbed it. He waved his other hand to the brothers, indicating that there was no need to check slowly and they were released directly.
In his opinion, the other party is a well-known figure in the capital. If anything happens to him, he will be able to bear it, so why should he offend him? What's more, he will get benefits from him.
The convoy continued to move forward and left the city.
At this time, a soldier approached the leader and said strangely: "Sir, there are quite a few rich families who have left Beijing to visit recently!"
The team leader sighed: "They are rich and can afford to play. If it were us, it would be difficult for us to hire just these teams." After that, he tossed a silver coin to the soldier, who received a lot of thanks in exchange.
The news of the defeat was very slow to be transmitted by land, and due to the intentional blockade, most people were ignorant. However, for those truly respectable people, the news of the defeat could not be hidden from those people, and they all sought safety for themselves in advance, lest they want to leave when the situation got out of hand.
Neither can leave.
Those who have connections in other countries will go straight to other countries. Those whose relations are not secure will lead their families and go straight to the practicing sects with which they are friends. If something unexpected happens, those monks who can fly around will lead their families to flee.
.
If Dayan can survive this disaster, it won't be too late to come back, and the financial resources on hand can be spent.
Those with huge wealth are accustomed to messing around in the field of profit. They only have profit in their eyes. Those with greater ability have even blurred the concept of national boundaries. They can live well anywhere. They don’t necessarily have to stick to Dayan. Few are willing to follow.
Dayan was buried with him.
In Da Situ's Mansion, in the early morning, the mist was thin and floating. Gao Jiancheng, who had risen early, stood under the eaves with his hands behind his hands, his face was deep and his eyes flickered slightly from time to time.
Butler Fan Zhuan came over and said, "Sir, do you want someone to bring breakfast over?"
Gao Jiancheng answered the question incorrectly: "Are many people going to leave Beijing?"
Fan Zhuan nodded, "We have already walked a bit, and we will probably walk a bit more in the future."
Gao Jiancheng sneered, "It's time for Shang Yongzhong to return some favors to me."
Fan Zhuan was puzzled and tried to ask: "What do you mean, sir?"
Gao Jiancheng: "Let me go and borrow one of the men and horses that Shang Yongzhong can mobilize to set up an ambush at some remote places that must be passed through. The national crisis is approaching, and instead of sharing the suffering with Dayan, he wants to take the money and run away.
, Don’t think about running away, leave the money to me, I am of use, in case something unexpected happens, I can also leave some money for my children and grandchildren. The 10 million last time made it difficult for the Gao family to recover for a long time. Let the people do the work
Look at those who have left the capital, and take action if you can. You're welcome, and make things clean."
"This..." Fan Zhuan sweated a little and tried to ask: "Master, is this appropriate?"
Gao Jiancheng snorted coldly and said: "All my sons have sacrificed their lives for the country and your majesty, but now some people abandon the country and ignore the crisis. I can't vent my sorrow and anger. I can't bear to get some money to make compensation. Can't you make some money to compensate? The cost of war is high, so we need to
The bulk of the money will still have to be left to His Majesty's disposal."
Fan Zhuan added: "I'm just afraid that Shang Yongzhong's men won't dare to do it."
"Don't you dare to do it?" Gao Jiancheng squinted: "Then don't blame me for the officials who attacked him in the court and stepped on him to death! At this juncture, I don't believe that Shang Yongzhong dares to go against me!"
"Okay, I know this, I will make arrangements now."
…
The town was a desolate and dilapidated town that had been plundered by the war. Originally there were only a few wild dogs left, but now it suddenly became popular. There were sergeants cruising back and forth on war horses everywhere, and there were bursts of smoke from cooking. The large number of people made the whole town...
It's all become crowded.
The team led by Meng Shanming suddenly stopped and suddenly occupied this abandoned town.
In a clean room, Meng Shanming in a wheelchair sat alone in the hall, eyes closed and quiet, and the traces of water washing on the floor were not yet dry.
Huang Lie's figure appeared outside, strode in, pulled up a chair and sat across from Meng Shanming, and tried to ask: "Shuai Meng, I heard that it is not a temporary break. I heard that you ordered to rest here for three days."
sky?"
Meng Shanming nodded: "Yes."
After experiencing the arrest of Shang Chaozong, he became taciturn and became a little older and haggard.
Huang Lie wondered: "Why? Don't you rush to Nanzhou as soon as possible to join the Nanzhou people?"
Meng Shanming: "The border army has suffered successive defeats in the war. I want to quietly consider what Nanzhou should do next."
Actually that's not what happened, but he suddenly received a secret message from Niu Youdao on the way. Niu Youdao told people from the three major sects that they had negotiated with the court and that people from the three major sects would come to him soon and explained some precautions.
.
So he stopped and waited for the guests to arrive.
"Alas!" Huang Lie sighed, "It's time to think about where Nanzhou should go. Isn't there any news about Niu Youdao from Commander Meng?"
Meng Shanming shook his head.
Huang Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. He actually didn't quite believe that Niu Youdao had no connection with this place.
At this moment, a disciple of Zen Mountain ran out and reported: "Master, Gong Lince, the master of Zijin Cave, is here and wants to see you."
Huang Lie's heart tightened, he stood up suddenly and asked, "How many people are here?"
The disciple reported: "Just three people came on birds."
Huang Lie just turned around and called back to Meng Shan: "Commander Meng, to prevent any unexpected events, please take cover temporarily."
Meng Shanming shook his head, "Now that Dayan is like this, do I still need to hide? The three major factions can't save the situation by killing me. If they kill their disciples and cause trouble, there is no need to kill me anymore."
Huang Lie thought about it and left to meet the guests. However, after leaving, he still asked people to strengthen the defense here. Shang Chaozong was arrested. He didn't want Meng Shanming to get into trouble again. The situation has reached this point. Nanzhou needs someone who can
A commander who is good at fighting also protects the interests of his Dachan Mountain.
The meeting with Gong Lince was on the main street of the town.
A large bird fell on the roof of a building. The floor tiles on the street were missing one piece in the east and one in the west. On the roofs on the left and right sides of the street, there was an expert from Zijin Cave on each side to guard the surroundings.
Gong Linche didn't bring anyone here because he was afraid of misunderstanding, but he could still see the masters of Dachan Mountain staring at him loomingly.
After Huang Lie came to greet him, Gong Lince stared at him indifferently for a long time, staring at this guy who was obedient and secretive.
Huang Lie understood the meaning in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He had received coercion and inducements from the three major sects before. Although he verbally promised, he did not fully comply with it. For example, he killed Meng Shanming!
It is really because he feels that the promises of the three major sects are not reliable. Whether Yan State can be saved is still a question. Let Dachan Mountain kill Meng Shanming? With the current situation of Yan State, it is even more impossible for him to touch Meng Shanming. The capital of Yan State is
The country is about to be subjugated, and Dachanshan still relies on Nanzhou's troops to gain a foothold. If he kills Nanzhou's capable commander, wouldn't he just shoot himself in the foot?
What's more, there is a sinister Niu Youdao hiding behind Meng Shanming. He is not a vegetarian. He can make Nanzhou people and horses turn against Dachanshan at any time, and make Dachan pheasants fly.
"The master of the cave is here in person, but what are your orders?" Huang Lie tried to ask again.
Gong Lince didn't want to do this errand. Things in Nanzhou were originally handled by Long Xiu, but Xiaoyao Palace arrested Shang Chaozong for Shi Sheng's death. It would be a bit awkward to come back after arresting the commander-in-chief of Nanzhou.
It's embarrassing, and the Cangzhou rebels were originally controlled by Zijindong, but now they have rebelled. Zijindong has to bear some responsibility, and the only people from Zijindong can do this.
"No instructions, you did a good job." Gong Lince said coldly.
Huang Lie laughed dryly and thanked others for their irony.
Gong Lince said again: "I'm not here to find you. Where is Meng Shanming? I want to see him and talk to him if I have anything to do."
Huang Lie immediately turned around and said: "Go and look quickly and see where Commander Meng is." He knew he was asking, but in fact he was giving someone a wink to let someone know where he was.
The disciples of Dachan Mountain quickly found Meng Shanming and explained the purpose of Gong Lince's visit. They were afraid that it would be detrimental to Meng Shanming, so they asked Meng Shanming to hide.
However, Meng Shanming insisted on meeting Gong Lince.
After the disciple returned to the street, he whispered a few words in Huang Lie's ear. Huang Lie frowned slightly, but on the surface he glared at the disciple, "Why don't you lead the way?" Then he extended his hand to Gong Lince.
Meng Shanming still sat quietly in the hall. Even if Gong Lince and Huang Lie came, he still sat there indifferently, with no intention of being polite.
Huang Lie looked slightly embarrassed and said: "Shuai Meng, let me introduce to you. This is the cave master of Zijin Cave Palace who is famous all over the world."
Meng Shanming said calmly: "No introduction is needed. When I met him, he was not the master of the Zijin Cave."
"Uh..." Huang Lie looked around at the two of them.
Gong Lince looked down from a high position and said calmly: "Meng Shanming, we haven't seen each other for some years."
Meng Shanming said: "Mr. Gong has great power over the Yan Dynasty. I don't know why Jiang Guiyu came to see me, a crippled old man, unexpectedly."
Gong Linche didn't mince words, "When the country is in trouble, we miss our good generals. I recall the time when Commander Meng was so powerful that he was so powerful that the world was so powerful. Now that Yan is facing an invasion from foreign enemies and the war is unfavorable, I am here in person to ask Commander Meng to come out and preside over the war!"
