Chapter 643: A Flock of Straw Bales!
Luo Zhao just lost face, but Yan Guo was shocked by the government and the opposition.
The princes of the Five Roads can be said to be the last reliance within the Yan State today, and they are still defeated by the rebels under the joint forces, and the shock to the Yan State can be imagined.
The people of the Yan Kingdom were panicked, as if the Yan Kingdom was about to be destroyed, and the subjects of the Yan Kingdom couldn't help but ask, even the five princes joining forces were not the opponents of the rebels, who could be the opponents of the rebels?
There was a lot of noise in the court.
Some people suggested that a large army be drawn from the border to come back to quell the rebellion, but another group of people resolutely opposed it, on the grounds that the border was the last line of defense of the Yan State, and as soon as the assembled army withdrew, the Han and Song armies would inevitably take advantage of the situation. Those who insisted on drawing out the army believed that if the army did not withdraw, there would be no one to stop the rebels inside, and that Dayan would collapse internally, but would the border army still be able to hold it?
Some people also suggested that an order should be issued to Nanzhou and Nanzhou people should be dispatched to quell the rebellion.
There is also controversy over this issue, and the biggest question is that Nanzhou even dares to intercept the military rations of the imperial court, can it listen to the tune? What will be good if it joins forces with the rebels? Xue Xiao must be allowed to contain the people of Nanzhou in Nanzhou at any cost.
There was a lot of noise in the court, and the three major factions behind the court also moved a lot, and all the high-level personnel related to the three major factions were urgently summoned to a large hall in the palace.
Long Xiu, the head of Xiaoyao Palace, Lin Ce, the head of Zijin Cave, and Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, stood side by side at the top with a calm face.
Yue Yuan, the elder of the Zijin Cave behind the palace, Yuan Long, the elder of the Lingjian Mountain behind Tuzhou, Zu Ande, the elder of the Lingjian Mountain behind Fuzhou, Shi Sheng, the elder of the Xiaoyao Palace behind Haozhou, and Nong Fengting, the elder of the Xiaoyao Palace behind Changzhou, the five elders stood in a row.
Qiao Tianguang, the elder of the Zijin Cave behind Bozhou, and Bi Yuntao, the elder of Lingjian Mountain behind Qizhou, these two did not come, because Bozhou and Qizhou were already on the border of heavy defense, and the two elders were sitting in the place where the heavy troops were assembled, so they were not summoned.
In fact, he didn't mean to summon the two elders to come, and only the five elders of the three factions of Yue Yuan, Shi Yuanlong, Zu Ande, Shi Sheng, and Nong Fengting were recruited in front of him.
The others, including any disciples, were all discarded, and only those present had obvious intentions.
Gong Lince broke the calm, and said with a cold face: "Everyone must know the situation of the five princes to quell the rebellion, there are no outsiders here today, and we don't have to beat around the bush, the situation has reached this point, it is a matter of life and death for the three factions, once the Yan country is lost, the three factions will become lost dogs, and no one will tolerate it in other places, and the decline of the three factions will plummet, and the foundation laid by the ancestors of the past generations cannot be destroyed in the hands of our generation, otherwise I will be sorry for the ancestors of the past dynasties, and I will be sorry for the disciples in the door." ”
Long Xiu answered: "Today, the three of us only need a word from the five of you, can we order the five princes under your control to work together to quell the rebellion?"
Nong Fengting of Xiaoyao Palace sighed: "Master, it's not that we haven't tried our best to supervise, but people's hearts are unpredictable!"
Long Xiu was furious, "Try your best to supervise? When we are blind and deaf, the monks of the three kingdoms of Jin, Wei, and Qi are about to turn their faces with us, and the princes of the Five Roads have not tried their best to fight at all, and they will flee when they touch the enemy, which is also called doing their best?"
Purple Gold Cave Yue Yuan said: "Don't worry, Dragon Palace Master, things are not what you think, Elder Nong's so-called unpredictable people's hearts do not refer to anything else, but to the military heart, the soldiers of the five princes do not want to work for the court at all, and their morale is completely lost, how can this battle be fought?"
Lingjian Mountain Master Yuanlong also nodded and said: "Yes, the three heads also know that these five princes are all the old troops of King Ning, and if they were not cornered, they would not have supported their own troops. ”
Another elder of Lingjian Mountain, Zu Ande, also said: "That's true, when the imperial court was bloodied, they still have resentment, how can they work for the imperial court? Do the three heads know what the soldiers below are talking about? They said, we died fighting for the imperial court, and we can't get the slightest mercy from the imperial court, but we have to be regarded as traitors by the imperial court, why are we fighting?"
Shi Sheng, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, snorted, "The soldiers of Haozhou also have this mentality, the war is arranged, and the men and horses are pushed to the top, but the war is together, and the people and horses immediately turn around and run, who can stop them? Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even tens of thousands of pigs can't stop them, they just don't want to work for the court, we can't kill them, right?"
Nong Fengting sighed: "We are also anxious about this matter. ”
The five of you and I are a sentence, it is reasonable and well-founded, and the three heads of the block are speechless.
Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, said with a dark face: "According to what you say, is it that the Yan Kingdom is finished like this, and is it that our three factions are also finished?"
Nong Fengting hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You can't say that, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, we should do our best, the matter has not yet reached the point of no return, isn't there still Nanzhou people?"
Yue Yuan said: "Yes, the heroic martial arts of the Yan State back then shocked the world, and now it is in the hands of Nanzhou, fighting with Zhou Shouxian, fighting with Xue Xiao, the edge is exposed, when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, in today's Yan Kingdom, the people of Nanzhou are probably second to none, and the Nanzhou army should be urgently dispatched to quell the rebellion." ”
Shi Yuanlong nodded, "Indeed, I agree." ”
Zaand: "Yes, it's time for them to play. ”
Shi Sheng: "I think I want it." ”
These five elders have long known Nanzhou's intention to go on an expedition, otherwise the coalition army will be defeated at the touch of a button, in the final analysis, they still know that someone is willing to be a substitute for the dead ghost and wants to preserve the strength in their hands. They are also not at ease with today's defeat, and they have long wished that this day would come, and let the people of Nanzhou go out as soon as possible.
Even if the people of Nanzhou can't defeat the rebels, they can greatly consume the strength of the rebels, and it will be easy for them to come out and clean up the mess at that time, and they won't have to pay any price.
For this reason, the five people did not hesitate to deceive their superiors and subordinates, but none of them took out Meng Shanming's letter, and the letter had already been destroyed by them, otherwise the defeat of the coalition forces this time would not be explained.
Long Xiu: "What you said is easy, Nanzhou intercepted the imperial army's rations, and has long been with Han Song's side, I'm afraid there is already a reaction, it's too late to hold him down, release the people and horses of Nanzhou, once you join forces with the Cangzhou rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Shi Sheng: "Boss, the current situation in Yan Kingdom, Nanzhou is a little selfish and wants to accumulate some strength, which is understandable, I don't think they will rebel." ”
Shuai Yuanlong also agreed, "After all, Shang Chaozong is the royal family of Yan State, and he is also a bloody person, if he really wants to betray Yan, how can he be worthy of his ancestors?"
Seeing the expressions of these people, Meng Xuan said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, I heard you right, right?
Long Xiu and Gong Lince also looked suspicious.
The five elders glanced at each other, and they really hadn't discussed it, but they all knew it.
Nong Fengting sighed: "Master Meng, do you still need to discuss the situation when it reaches this point? The five princes are disheartened, can't they wait for death, even if there is a way, they have to try!"
"Yes, that's right, how do you know what Nanzhou's attitude is if you don't try?"
The five of them persuaded again and again, trying their best to persuade the three heads to let Nanzhou send troops.
The situation has reached this point, and it will not work if you don't try, but the problem is that when the people of Nanzhou rush to the battlefield, I don't know what the situation of the rebels will become. As a result, the five elders promised that they would personally supervise the battle, and try their best to let the princes of the Five Roads entangle the rebels......
In the guest house, the ghost mother and Yun Ji saw each other very happily, and Niu Youdao watched happily on the side.
This ghost and demon are twice as old as Guan Fangyi, but they look much younger than Guan Fangyi. Especially the ghost mother, her appearance seems to be forever fixed in her early thirties, fixed at the age when she died before her death.
The ghost mother has already led a thousand ghost cultivators to Yin Mountain, and all the demon cultivators of Duyun Mountain have been secretly arranged around the Maolu Villa, and with the garrison outside the Maolu Villa and the three factions inside, it is almost impossible for outsiders to easily approach the Maolu Villa without being discovered.
After the two sisters reminisced, the ghost mother suddenly looked at Niu Youdao and sneered, "I heard that you and Yun Huan are sworn brothers?"
She also found out about it after she went to Duyun Mountain.
It's really a pot that can't be opened, Niu Youdao was suddenly embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "Sister, I really didn't know the relationship between you and Duyun Mountain earlier. ”
The ghost mother sneered again and again, "What do you say about this generation?"
Yun Ji had a mocking look in her eyes, her seniority was not at a loss anyway.
Fortunately, Guan Fangyi arrived at this time and reported urgently: "Master Dao, Long Xiu is here." A letter was handed out at the same time.
As soon as they heard Long Xiu's name, the ghost mother and Yun Ji looked stunned, and Niu Youdao slowly looked back in the direction of the villa, and said slowly: "It's finally here!"
I took the letter again and looked at it, and found that it was a letter from Quan Taifeng, saying that the Cangzhou rebels had captured another state, and asked when Nanzhou would raise troops and so on.
Niu Youdao directly tore up the letter, and then confessed to the two sisters and left......
In the water pavilion of the villa, Long Xiu stood by the railing, Niu Youdao hurriedly came, and bowed his hand and said: "The palace master is here in person, Niu Youdao has lost the distance, and please forgive the palace master!"
Long Xiu looked back, swept his cold eyes up and down, and snorted coldly, "Forgiveness?
Niu Youdao was surprised, "Why did the palace master say this?"
Long Xiu: "Are you pretending to be confused with this palace?"
Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "I understand, the palace master is talking about that batch of military rations? ”
Long Xiu: "How do you send it?" Another gang of robbers will appear and burn the grain truck again, or will the grain truck break down all the way?"
Niu Youdao: "It is absolutely impossible, the sturdy grain cart Nanzhou has been prepared, this time Nanzhou personally sent a large army to escort the grain to Dingzhou, so that it will not make any mistakes, if there is any mistake, the palace master can take me to ask the blame, and never shirk!"
The joy was unbelievable, and Long Xiu was blocked and had nothing to say.
However, he didn't come to this matter today, so he skimmed over the topic and asked lightly: "Have you ever heard of the counterinsurgency war?"
"Hehe!" Niu was amused, disdainful and sneering: "A bunch of straw bales!"
