This is a quite heavy topic. Gong Lince understands the meaning of his words, but some things are not that simple.
Yanjing is where Shang Jianxiong's interests lie. Shang Jianxiong has been operating in the Yan Kingdom for many years. Most of the people in the Yan Kingdom are in the hands of the Shang Jianxiong faction. Most areas in the Yan Kingdom are still controlled by the left-behind troops of the Shang Jianxiong faction. The three major factions also have concerns.
Similarly, the three major factions do not want to overwhelm the Shang Chaozong faction at this time. Facing foreign enemies, the court personnel are useless, and the three major factions still want to rely on the Shang Chaozong.
What the three major factions want now is for the court and the princes to work together to overcome the difficulties.
This is also the reason why Gong Linche remained polite to Meng Shanming when he came here in person, hoping to coordinate the conflicts between the two parties.
But the facts proved that the contradiction between the two sides was irreconcilable. One side wanted to protect the capital, and the other wanted to protect the Yan Kingdom.
It sounds like there is no conflict between the two, but in fact there is a great conflict between the two in the face of the real situation.
From the standpoint of the three major factions, they naturally tend to protect the Yan Kingdom.
Gong Lince didn't know if Meng Shanming was fooling him, but the difficulties Meng Shanming presented were true, and there seemed to be no other way.
When things have reached this point, the three major factions between the two must also make a choice.
After Gong Lince hesitated for a while, he slowly asked: "Can you control the people in the court?"
After saying this, it is obvious which way the attitude has shifted. Because of the situation, the interests of the people in the court must be subordinated to the interests of the three major factions.
This was what Yan Emperor Shang Jianxiong was worried about, so he said that he could not completely rely on the three major factions and secretly ordered the northern troops to prepare for reinforcements.
Meng Shanming: "The remaining grain and grass have been controlled by the law enforcement supervisor."
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows slightly. With just this sentence, he understood that Meng Shanming had already pinched the lifeblood of the imperial people. The imperial people could not make trouble and had to obey Meng Shanming's command. As long as Meng Shanming didn't.
Agreed, even if the imperial troops are allowed to leave, the imperial troops will not be able to leave.
The three major factions were previously worried that Shang Jian's desperate attempt to jump over the wall would cause conflicts between the imperial court and the princes. Now it seems that they were overly worried. Meng Shanming has firmly taken control of the frontline army.
Gong Linche: "The river in the Eastern Region is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without Wu Gongling's trouble, the Song army would not be able to easily invade the Yan State. On the contrary, are you sure of attacking the Song State?"
Meng Shanming: "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything can happen. It is not something that can be manipulated casually. It also depends on the response of the enemy generals. No one can say that it will definitely succeed. However, for Dongyu Jiang
I am very familiar with the terrain in this area. The rivers and rocks remain unchanged, things change and people change. Even if the people change, the place remains the same. You can give it a try, but it may not be impossible to break into it."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Linche remembered that this was not the first time that this old commander had fought against the Song Army. He had fought against the Song Army several times in his early years, and had invaded the territory of the Song Kingdom several times, and had invaded the Dongyujiang River.
The boss is experienced.
Thinking of this, Gong Lince's eyes flashed with light, and he felt a little confident in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Commander Meng, you are going to allow the enemy to do whatever they want in my country, Yan!"
Meng Shanming had no expression on his face: "My Dayan is already in tatters, and I don't have to worry about it if he continues to toss it into pieces. But that's not the case in the Song Dynasty. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The country of Song Dynasty has been torn apart.
? If we attack the Song Dynasty, there is still a chance for Dayan to be saved. If we don’t attack, Dayan will be doomed. Head of the Palace, I can’t force you to decide what the three major sects will do, and I will let you decide.”
The two continued to have a long conversation, and by the time the conversation was over, many of Gong Lince's doubts were cleared up by Meng Shanming, and he finally made the final decision.
He reported the situation to Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain, but he did not go back. He planned to follow the army in person in order to grasp the first-hand situation at any time...
There were no major obstacles, and the Song army had almost unhindered access within the territory of Yan State, heading straight towards Yanjing.
The three major factions did not change the situation, but instead adopted the attitude of the Shang Chaozong. Shang Jianxiong was shocked and angry.
The head of Xiaoyao Palace, Long Xiu, and the head of Lingjian Mountain even personally came forward to reason with Shang Jianxiong, and promised that if there was any loss in the capital, they would first ensure the timely evacuation of him and a group of important ministers, so that their safety would not be threatened.
.
Shang Jianxiong hesitated, but people from Tong Mo's faction panicked. Those who had promoted the purge of Prince Ning's faction panicked.
Tong Mo and others immediately encouraged Shang Jianxiong with all their strength, and Shang Jianxiong was shocked and confused.
Thinking about it, what Tong Mo and others said does make sense. The attitudes of the three major sects are worth pondering. It seems that they have leaned towards the Shang Chaozong. Do they want to replace him or something?
For Tong Mo and others, for those who were ruthless to King Ning's faction in the past, they would rather surrender to the enemy than let Shang Chaozong ascend to power. Once Shang Chaozong ascends to power and takes control of the Yan State, the accounts will be settled.
There is no way for them to survive. They will definitely die miserably. If they surrender to the enemy, they will at least have a way to survive.
The attitude of the three major factions in siding with the Shang Chaozong really frightened these people, but they knew very well what Shang Jianxiong cared about.
Shang Jianxiong was poked into his weakness and was bewitched by Tong Mo and others. He ignored the persuasion of the three major sects and secretly ordered people from the north to rush for reinforcements.

In a cave amid the undulating mountains, Niu Youdao sat cross-legged and meditated, practicing quietly.
Guan Fangyi walked in, said "hey", threw a secret letter to Niu Youdao, then turned around with a look of displeasure, twisted her waist and left.
There was no other reason. It was a letter from Yuan Gang, and it was written in a language she couldn't understand. It definitely had nothing to do with her.
Niu Youdao slowly opened his eyes, picked up the letter that fell in front of him and checked it.
It's okay not to read it. When he saw the content of the postcard, Niu Youdao couldn't help but sneered and said word by word: "Tong Mo deserves to die!"
The letter was Yuan Gang's retelling of Gao Jiancheng's letter. Gao Jiancheng informed this side that Tong Mo and others instigated Shang Jianxiong to mobilize troops from the north, so that they could make preparations in advance.
Knowing that heavy troops in the north were guarding South Korea, if South Korea were to intervene at this time, the situation in the Yan country would be unimaginable, but Tong Mo and others did not hesitate to push the Yan country into a pit of fire for their own personal grudges. Even though Niu Youdao had a good temper, he could not help but get angry.
!
Today he really saw what it means to be a national thief!
…
The people and horses were rushing along the official road in the mountains and reached a dangerous place. A pass was located between two mountains. It was stuck in the most dangerous place. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was closed tightly.
There was a row of people blocking the way, guarded by men and horses.
The advance officer called the door before closing, but no one answered and the door would not open.
General Lu Congsheng drove his horse to the front and shouted loudly: "I am General Lu Congsheng of Huwei. I have urgent military affairs. Please open and close the door quickly."
A general appeared on the pass wall and replied: "General Lu, no one is allowed to trespass without the governor's instructions. Please come back quickly."
Lu Congsheng waved his hand, and a general immediately jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Juma, and handed a letter to the sergeant.
The sergeant returned to the city, put the oracle into the hanging basket, and hung it on the wall of the pass.
The oracle reached the hands of the general at the top of the wall. After reading it, the general waved and said, "It's a fake!" and tore up the oracle on the spot.
Lu Congsheng was startled, then he waved his riding whip and shouted angrily: "How dare you, the entry and exit handwritten by Shao Dengyun himself can be false? Do you want to rebel?"
The general on the wall ignored him and turned back to the tower. Behind the case in the building, he saw a veteran in armor sitting upright with his eyes closed in meditation. It was none other than Shao Dengyun himself.
The general quickly walked over to Shao Dengyun and whispered a few words into Shao Dengyun's ear.
Shao Dengyun opened his eyes, stood up slowly, strode around the table, exited the tower, came to the wall, looked at the people below who were shouting to open the door, and shouted: "What's the fuss about?" His voice was full of anger.
Shao Dengyun? Lu Congsheng was stunned, raised his hand, and his men immediately stopped shouting, and then said loudly: "Brother Shao, why are you here?"
Shao Dengyun glanced at the men and horses behind him that were winding to the end, and said hehe: "It turns out to be Brother Lu. Shao happened to be here on patrol and didn't want to run into Brother Lu. Brother Lu, where are you going with these men and horses?
?”
Lu Congsheng replied loudly: "Of course there is urgent military affairs." He raised his riding whip and pointed at the general beside Shao Dengyun, "Who is this? How dare you tear up Brother Shao's handwritten edict."
Shao Dengyun chuckled and said: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. I just recently ordered the garrison in various places to change the customs clearance pattern. The people below are dull and do not know how to adapt, so they misunderstood."
Lu Congsheng: "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's forget it. I'd like to trouble Brother Shao to make it easier for my army to switch on and off."
Shao Dengyun shook his head: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Lu Congsheng was surprised, "Why?"
Shao Dengyun tilted his head and signaled. A monk beside him folded a piece of paper and shot it towards the city like an arrow.
The attendant mage beside Lu Congsheng caught it with his hand and passed it to Lu Congsheng.
Lu Congsheng opened the origami and was shocked on the spot. It was actually the appointment of Shang Chaozong, the governor of the expedition, and the governor of Beizhou as the law enforcement supervisor of the northern defense line. He couldn't help but slowly raised his head to look at Shao Dengyun above.
Isn't it that the Shao family is not at odds with Nanzhou? He was confused and confused.
Shao Dengyun already said loudly: "The Governor has an order. The frontline army has not received the order from the Governor. No one is allowed to evacuate the defense line without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed on the spot by the troops of Beizhou! Brother Lu, if you mobilize the army like this, there will be great dangers."
Commander’s military order?”
Lu Congsheng: "Brother Shao, to tell you the truth, I received a military order from the imperial court. The governor's military order cannot be greater than that of the imperial court, right?"
Shao Dengyun sneered, "Brother Lu is also the one who leads the troops. How can he order many people to go out during the war? Even if there is no order from the military governor, I still ask Brother Lu to go back immediately, otherwise there will be some misunderstanding." He raised his hand and waved.
.
The war drums on the pass suddenly rumbled and thundered. On top of the city, on the mountains on both sides, there was a faint roar, and a large number of people emerged. The densely packed archers aimed their bows at the people coming from below. They even lit rockets and were ready to throw them at any time.
Once the earthen jars and oil pots below launch an attack, the mountain road will instantly turn into a hell on earth.
Lu Congsheng's face turned green as he looked left and right on horseback.
Niu Youdao, who did not need to receive the news, reminded that the Shang Chaozong had long been on guard against trouble in the north and had already issued an order to Shao Dengyun just in case.
As for whether Shao Dengyun would listen, Shang Chaozong was not sure at all. Fortunately, Shao Dengyun did not let him down, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
PS: "Yishi Sixiu" smashed four small red flowers and returned to the top of the list. I don't know how long it can stay. I guess it will be a matter of time before I get knocked down. Face your face! Also, I came back late from the New Year greetings, so I hurriedly finished a chapter.
