Similarly, there is news that has reached Niu Youdao's hands.

When the news arrived, Niu Youdao was sitting on the shore of the lake and holding a bamboo pole fishing, with his cultivation, he could reach out and fish out of the lake, and he couldn't fish slowly.

Fishing is not an end, it is not only a pastime, but also a way to straighten out your mind and think about problems.

Yuan Gang walked over, put a piece of paper in Niu Youdao's hand, and slowly sat cross-legged on the side, slowly pulling the grass on the ground.

Niu Youdao shook off the paper, glanced at the contents of the letter, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Traveling in the mountains and waters... Preserve the strength... Dayan's survival is not his concern......"

The content he recited was exactly what Shang Chaozong said to him, and what Shang Chaozong said was presented to him almost word for word.

The situation has come to this day step by step, and I really think that he can hide in the mountains and completely let the city go but ask? He can not interfere with Shang Chaozong's side, but it is impossible to let the situation in Nanzhou get out of control, and some regulatory measures are inevitable.

Just like Baili Karma to Gongsun Bu, with Niu Youdao's influence in Nanzhou now, it is too easy to influence some people around Shang Chaozong.

Why didn't he show mercy in the news he sent back to Shang Chaozong? It was because he had known for a long time that Shang Chaozong could not hold back, and he had already known what he wanted to talk about when they met, and he had already made up his mind, and if he could not send troops now, he would not be able to send troops, so what was there to talk about?

put out the cruel words, just to pour cold water to make Shang Chaozong wake up, don't be hot-headed.

Reading and reading, the corners of Niu Youdao's mouth hooked up, and he looked back at Yuan Gang, and found that Yuan Gang's face was very heavy.

The letter was thrown back on Yuan Gang's crossed legs, his eyes turned to the lake, and he continued to fish for his own fish, and there was something on his lips, "Do you still think it's inappropriate for me to do this?"

Yuan Gang slowly rolled up the paper: "Do you want to say that you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart? Do you want to say that I saw the wrong person? Actually, it's not that serious, he just complains." ”

Niu Youdao: "I don't think it's serious, no one wants to be a marionette manipulated by others, everyone has emotions, and it's normal to complain." No matter what he says, it doesn't matter to me, I just need the process and the result, a little noise can't change anything, what I care about is what you think. Monkey, I just want you to understand that he is different from the two of us, he is a person who wants to be the king and dominate, a person who wants to dominate the world, and in the end, no matter what kind of person he was at the beginning, he will slowly change in the end, don't be too wishful thinking. ”

Yuan Gang: "I can understand his feelings, if it were me, I would not sit idly by and watch my country be engulfed by foreign invasion, I will rise up to resist, and I will be more fierce than he did." ”

Niu Youdao: "Others don't know, you should know the news that Gao Jiancheng gave me, you don't need him Shang Chaozong to take the initiative to ask for help, once the war is unfavorable, the imperial court will let the people of Nanzhou go on the expedition." If the war goes well, and the imperial court can successfully exterminate the rebels, we can just sit back and see what is going on sooner or later, what's there to be anxious about, be well prepared, and the choice of advancing and retreating freely is in our own hands?"

Yuan Gang: "The information provided by Gao Jiancheng, should I inform the prince, the prince is hidden in the dark, he doesn't know anything, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding." ”

Niu Youdao: "There is no way to misunderstand, and the things that are achieved by Gao Jiancheng must not be known to others anymore." Even the top secret known to only a few people in the DPRK and China, once it is leaked, Gao Shaoming was arrested in the front, and there was a leak in the back, and the people in the DPRK and China are not stupid, which is not good for Gao Jiancheng. The role of a high Jiancheng is worth a million male soldiers for us, so Gao Jiancheng must not be lost. If the prince misunderstood, he misunderstood, and he should be regarded as cooperating with acting. ”

Yuan Gang was silent.

As soon as Niu Youdao closed the fishing rod and had the hook in his hand, he found that the bait had been eaten, so he put on the bait again and shook the line into the water, and gave a faint sentence, "Shang Chaozong, I don't want to see him for the time being, but Meng Shanming can still see him." I don't know how to fight, and I want to listen to his opinion before making a decision. Let the matchmaker go in person and pick up Meng Shanming. ”

Yuan Gang nodded, and after getting up, he said again, "Over there in Shunfeng Hall, I have found some clues, and I have already asked people to follow, I don't know if it is useful." ”

Niu Youdao tilted his head and asked, "What's the situation?"

Yuan Gang: "There are a lot of golden wings coming and going to Shunfeng Hall, but there is a kind of irregular law of golden wings that go to the golden wings, which seems to have no rules, but in fact there are hidden rules. If you look at the time, you can see that no matter how the time of sending it out, it will inevitably be sent out once in three days. ”

Niu Youdao's expression was solemn, "Let the people who follow you be careful." ”

Yuan Gang: "Don't worry, it's arranged." ”

......

Yanjing Imperial Palace, Long Xiu, Gong Lince, Meng Xuan, the heads of the three major factions gathered in an attic to taste tea.

The disciples of Lingjian Mountain went upstairs and sent a secret letter, and after Meng Xuan read it, he said to the other two: "The news from the side of the Weiguo grain delivery fleet was attacked again, and hundreds of monks were damaged, and five grain ships were damaged and sank into the sea. ”

Long Xiu said indifferently: "It's our surprise, this fight, the monks of Han Song and Jin Weiqi really lost a lot, but the manpower of our three factions participated in the confrontation of the army and there was no loss." ”

Gong Lince: "It's indeed a bit unexpected, it's the time to weaken the strength of those sects, and if it goes on like this, I don't want the war to end so soon." ”

The three of them looked at each other, with different expressions, and they all drank tea silently.

......

In the palace of Zhao State, in a large hall, someone spoke impassionedly, and a gold-armored veteran argued fiercely with his ministers.

Minister Fan Xiu bowed his hand to Hai Wuji, who was seated, and said: "Your Majesty, send troops! We must put pressure on South Korea as soon as possible to force South Korea to withdraw its troops, once the Yan State collapses, Han and Song Dynasty eat it and sit on it fat, and my Zhao State is sandwiched between the east and the west, and sooner or later we will face a catastrophe!"

Bang! The veteran of Jin Jia stood up, pointed and reprimanded angrily, "Fan Xiu, the old thief, how many benefits he has received from Yan Guo, he actually speaks for Yan Guo, and wants to bury the great opportunity for the rise of Zhao State, his heart can be punished, and he should be beheaded!"

Fan Xiu's face flushed and stood up, "Pang Teng is untrustworthy, slandering the minister in public, please punish Your Majesty!"

Hai Wuji, who was seated, immediately waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then pressed his hand towards the golden armor veteran, "General Pang, just talk about things, don't talk nonsense!"

The veteran of the golden armor snorted coldly at Fan Xiu and sat down.

This person is the governor of Zhao State, commanding the power of Zhao State's soldiers and horses, and his position is equivalent to that of Yan State's Great Sima, full of loyal martyrs, father and son two generations, including him, there are three people who are all Zhao State Governors, which shows Zhao State's favor to the Pang family.

It's just that the luck of the Pang family seems to be a little bad, when his father was the governor of Zhao State, he fought with Qi State and died at the hands of the current Qi general Huyan without hatred, and even the corpse was not recovered. After his brother took over the position of the governor of the capital, he fought with Yan State, and was forced into a desperate situation by Shang Jianbo, the king of Ning, who refused to be captured in a desperate situation, drew his sword and killed himself, and the corpse was still the current Empress Dowager Shang Youlan came forward to get it back from Yan Guo.

Pang Teng came this time, knowing that there was a battle of tongues, so he deliberately wore a battle armor.

In fact, it was Hai Wuji who asked him to come, and recently there has been a lot of discussion between the DPRK and China, and Hai Wuji is overwhelmed, so Pang Teng will argue.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, there are two great governors who control the power of soldiers and horses, the gold-armored Pang Teng of the Zhao State and the silver-armored Luo Zhao of the Song State.

Pang Teng is over sixty years old, and he wants to repay Zhao Guo's great kindness to the Pang family before twilight.

Luo Zhao joined the army at the age of fourteen, led his troops at the age of eighteen to fight with Yan Guoying's martial arts, retreated, became famous in the world, was accepted by the Song Emperor as a righteous son, and was given a silver armor robe, and at the age of twenty-three he was promoted to the governor of the Song Kingdom, and now he is only thirty-three years old.

A minister stood on Fan Xiu's side and said loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor, Lord Pan is also a heart for the country, once Han Song sits on the throne, my Zhao State is in danger!"

Pang Teng crossed his eyebrows and looked coldly, "Sitting big, all countries are involved in the current situation, it is not so easy for Han Song to sit big, you are too worried." Now, I, Zhao State, are waiting for the grain, grass, and war horses to be sent to the door, how can we find such a good thing, and how can we miss it? The military supplies sent to the door can be hoarded nearby, and wait for the three kingdoms of Han, Song, and Yan to be consumed, and when the three kingdoms are weakened, our Zhao country can take advantage of the situation to sweep and seize the three kingdoms like a bag to get something, how can such a great opportunity be missed?"

The minister asked, "How can Qi Wei sit idly by? Once I take advantage of my troops and sneak attack from behind, what should I do?"

Pang Teng: "The Jin Kingdom is eyeing the tiger, Qi Wei will not dare to come out, at most a small coalition army will be under pressure, I can send a group of people to entangle, harass and lag, try to delay, and great things can be done!"

Fan Xiu said in a deep voice: "Metropolitan Governor, how can everything be as beautiful as you think, if something happens, how can it be good?" Your Majesty, the old minister still said the same thing, the current situation cannot be easily changed, otherwise it will be a catastrophe!"

"A bunch of rotten wood, gibberish, ignorant of military affairs, difficult to understand. Pang Teng stood up again, and said to Hai Wuji: "Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to this group of sour rot, you can't send troops at the moment, you can only sit back and watch, whether it is to put pressure on South Korea, or finally send troops to sweep, the initiative is in my hands, even if I can't fight, sitting back and watching the three eastern countries consume to mourn is also a good thing for my Zhao country." ”

Hai Wuji hummed and said to the ministers: "General Pang's plan is very good!"

......

In the main hall of the Jin Palace, the brazier seat for heating is full of core ministers, and it is difficult to involve high-level secrets if the level is not enough.

Plans are not as good as changes, many things change with the situation, and Shao Pingbo is also fighting the ministers.

Although the Jin State is poor, the ambition is not poor, the people are strong, and the Zhao State is worried about the matter of sending the materials of the Yan State to the Zhao State, especially the Jin State is even more dissatisfied with the fact that the Jin State is so reluctant to bow to the Zhao State, and the ministers are not able to quarrel.

"Too rigid and easy to break, blindly strong is not advisable, when the combination of rigidity and softness. Zhao Guo Pang family, two generations of shame, Pang Teng has a strong temperament, has a long heart of shame, Hai Wuji's ambition is like dry firewood, if there is a chance, Pang Teng will blow it on fire, and it will not be collected. Sancheng of the materials given to Zhao Guo were not fat, but the intestine-breaking medicine given to Zhao Guo, so that he could accumulate a large number of materials, just to strengthen his courage and promote his actions. ”

"At this time, Zhao will inevitably sit back and watch the consumption of the three eastern kingdoms, and when the time comes, Hai Wuji will inevitably send troops to sweep. Qi Wei was worried that Zhao Guo was big, and he was afraid of my Jin State, so he only dared to exert pressure on a small group of people and horses, and it would definitely be difficult to recover Zhao Guo's ambition of refusing to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can sit back and watch the consumption of the three countries become the consumption of the four countries. Sit back and watch, seeing that Zhao Guo is going to sit big, Qi Wei can't help but inevitably come to me to negotiate with Jin Guo. ”

"My Jin country can take this opportunity to ask Qi Wei to form an Eastern Expedition coalition army, at such a pass, the four countries have been exhausted and weak, and the two countries will inevitably agree to divide the four countries together, so that the situation of my Jin country being blocked by Qi Wei for many years can be broken, and the land is vast and the people have resources to accumulate strength, and then wait for the opportunity to clean up Qi Wei......"

Shao Pingbo, who was dressed in a silver fox fur, paced back and forth between the ministers present, talking eloquently, which could be described as radiant.

Tai Shuxiong, who was sitting in the first place, looked at the ministers from time to time, and when he saw that the ministers all showed thoughtful expressions, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
