"Tianyumen and Jinzhou Wandong Tianfu have already formed an alliance, and they have already made an offensive and defensive alliance, but Tianyumen is weak, and once Hai Wuji attacks Jinzhou, Nanzhou can provide limited support, so Nanzhou's current three-legged situation is not advisable, which disperses Nanzhou's strength. Jinzhou is the biggest obstacle for Zhao to attack Yan, Zhao wants to attack Yan, must first level Jinzhou, so Jinzhou is the biggest rock obstacle of Yan, Jinzhou can not afford to lose. ”

Long Xiu: "Once there is a change in Jinzhou, if someone else is willing to support Jinzhou, Jinzhou will still agree to form an alliance, not because you have to be Tianyumen." ”

If the other party didn't come to pay tribute, if he didn't come to send money, and he sent so much more money, there would not be such a good talk.

Of course, Peng chose to lobby at this time, which was also planned.

Hearing this, Peng immediately asked again: "Does the palace master let Zhou Shouxian send troops to support Jinzhou, or does he let the imperial court send another person to support Jinzhou?"

One sentence asked the key, some things are not easy to break, but everyone knows that now the balance ability of the Yan court against the three major factions of the Xiaoyao Palace is extremely weak, because the selfishness of the three major factions is unchecked, coupled with some major decisions of the Yan court, it has made the internal turmoil of the Yan country, and the national strength has been greatly depleted.

Whether it was Zhou Shouxian sending troops to support Jinzhou, or the imperial court sending another person to support, it represented that Yan State declared war on Zhao State, which affected the whole body.

For the sake of Beizhou, Xiaoyao Palace, Zijin Cave, and Lingjian Mountain fought a fierce battle with several major sects in Korea, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and in the end, it was the cultivation forces led by the Qi State that launched the mediation of the Ethereal Pavilion.

Long Xiu clearly remembered the words and swords in the Ethereal Pavilion.

The cultivation forces on the Yan side agreed to a truce, but the demand was that the cultivation forces on the Korean side spit out Bukju and return Bukju to the Yan Kingdom.

Seeing that the situation was favorable to him, South Korea naturally refused to return Bukju.

Song and Zhao are interested in South Korea, and they wish that the Yan Kingdom would take advantage of the situation to participate in the nearby carving-up.

The Jin State was plotting against each other, suggesting that Yan Han fight to the death, and whoever wins will be the one who wins.

Qi and Wei did not want to see Yan divided, which was not in their interests, so they demanded an immediate truce between the two sides. The two countries didn't care what losses Yan had suffered, and it wasn't their losses, so they just demanded an immediate truce!

This is the situation of disputes between the cultivation forces of various countries in the Ethereal Pavilion.

South Korea was biting Beizhou to the death, Yan was weak and no one supported justice in the Ethereal Pavilion, and under pressure, he finally had to accept mediation and make a compromise, and the armies of the two sides ceased fighting in the areas they occupied, and Beizhou was lost.

Peng was observing the words for a while, and then continued: "Of course, under the same conditions, it is the same for whoever sits in Nanzhou, but the Tianyumen has an advantage in its hands that other forces do not have, and it is enough to have a certain deterrent effect on the Zhao State, and the True Spirit Academy and the Flying Flower Pavilion cannot do it. Nanzhou needs to be unified, and please ask the palace master Mingjian!"

After Long Xiu was silent for a while, he asked: "The imperial court has lost control of Nanzhou, and it will lose a large part of the tax, how can the imperial court give up!"

Hearing this, Peng was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that the other party was relieved, and hurriedly said: "The taxes that should be paid in Nanzhou will still be handed over to the imperial court, and they will never be less than before, this point, I can make a guarantee to the palace master here on behalf of Tianyumen!"

Long Xiu: "Do you want to turn Nanzhou into a second Beizhou?"

The implication is, what if you coerce Nanzhou to join Zhao State? But he won't say it directly.

Peng hurriedly said again: "This is absolutely impossible! Not to mention the difficulty of surviving in the cracks of Dachan Mountain, how can Jinzhou sit idly by and watch Nanzhou defect to Zhao and suffer the enemy on its back? Once Jinzhou is unfavorable to Nanzhou, won't Nanzhou kill itself?"

......

In the year 258 of the Wu calendar, at the beginning of the year.

In the lower five counties of Yanguo Nanzhou, people and horses began to move secretly, but no matter how they acted secretly, how could the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops be hidden from the eyes of people with intentions.

For a time, Zhou Shouxian, the assassin of Nanzhou, asked Yanjing for help.

The eyes of the forces of all countries instantly paid close attention to Nanzhou of Yan State.

Outside the Maolu Villa, Niu Youdao saw off Shang Shuqing.

The war was imminent, and the Shang Dynasty was ordered to go to the joint command center of the army of the five counties to listen to it, and to cooperate with Feng Lingbo to help Feng Lingbo make suggestions. At this time, Shang Shuqing couldn't stay here any longer, she was going to follow her brother.

Seeing Shang Shuqing go away, Niu Youdao looked up at the blue and transparent sky, and the gray sky finally turned blue, because the craftsman battalion had been transferred out of the army.

Guan Fangyi sighed: "It seems that a big war cannot be avoided!"

Niu Youdao said calmly: "It's time for us to transfer too." ”

Not far away, Gongsun Bu flew quickly, and a translated secret letter was presented with both hands, "Dao Ye, a letter from Qi Guo." ”

Niu Youdao didn't need to read it to know whose letter it was, and when he got it, he saw it, and sure enough, it was a letter from Princess Yu of Qi State, who repeatedly asked him to persuade Shang Chaozong to stop attacking Nanzhou.

This is already the third letter, and Niu Youdao knows that it must be the meaning of Haoyuntu behind it.

"What does this woman mean? Haven't I said it clearly enough?, why do you keep asking again and again?" Niu Youdao frowned.

Guan Fangyi stretched out her hand to take the letter and read it, pondered for a moment and said: "There is more pleading tone in this letter than before, it shouldn't be Haoyuntu's meaning, it is estimated that she wants to stand in the position of the Jade King to get things done, maybe it is the meaning of the Jade King, and she wants to show her ability to Haoyuntu." ”

Niu Youdao was silent for a moment, and preached to Gongsun: "Let people pack up and prepare to evacuate!"

"Okay!" Gongsun Buying left.

At this moment, three more people flew under the mountain, it was Fei Changliu, Xia Hua and Zheng Jiuxiao.

The three of them looked like they had just come back from the Tianyu Gate, and they didn't return to the sect, so they came here first.

The two sides saluted, and Niu Youdao asked with a smile: "Tianyumen summoned, what is the situation?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Xia Hua sighed: "What other situation can there be, asking our three factions to participate in the war." ”

Niu Youdao smiled and said, "As for sighing, don't you benefit from it?"

The corners of the eyes of the three of them touched each other, and Fei Changliu said: "I promised to give each of our three factions a county of territory afterwards, but I don't know if it will be fulfilled." ”

"If this battle can be won, for a considerable period of time, Tianyumen should not break its promise. Tianyumen's own strength is limited, and if he wants to control the entire Nanzhou, he is a little more than willing to control the entire Nanzhou, and the strength of the sect will suffer a little bit after the war, so it is reasonable to find someone to help share the pressure, as for the future, when the strength of Tianyumen comes up, what the consequences will be, it is not necessarily. The three of them should know this, so why do they ask knowingly?" Niu Youdao asked with a smile.

The three of them were a little embarrassed, and everyone still knew what the reason was, Xia Hua hurriedly said, "We want to hear your opinion before making a decision." ”

Niu Youdao: "This is a good thing for the three factions, of course you have to agree." ”

The three of them were suspicious, and Zheng Jiuxiao said tentatively: "Really let us listen to the dispatch of Tianyumen?"

"Of course!" Niu Youdao nodded, and asked again, "When will the three factions leave?"

Xia Hua said: "Ask our people to gather immediately and rush to obey the dispatch, Dao Ye, when will you leave?"

Niu Youdao: "You go first, I will set off tomorrow to meet the prince." By the way, you'll have to give me enough of the men I want. ”

The three of them nodded again and again, and Fei Changliu promised: "You can rest assured that there will be no mistake in this." ”

Niu Youdao: "Okay, you guys go get busy first, let's see you later." ”

"Farewell!" the three arched their hands.

Seeing the three of them leave, Guan Fangyi frowned and said, "Just let them go?" Tianyumen is obviously promising them benefits, once it is really unfavorable to the Shang Dynasty Sect after the war, the three of them are afraid that they will stand by for the sake of interests, and your side will lack the strength to check and balance. ”

Niu Youdao: "Can I keep it? The twisted melon is not sweet." It's not just that Tianyumen wants to develop, but the three factions also want to develop, and when they encounter this opportunity, how can the three factions miss it? If the situation really comes to that point, it is reasonable for the three factions to stand on the side of Tianyumen, and this kind of thing cannot be reluctant. ”

Guan Fangyi: "You share the benefits you give them every year, and you get such a reward, can you be willing?"

Niu Youdao said calmly: "There is nothing to be unwilling or unwilling, it makes no sense to care about this, the situation is stronger than people, which side they can stand on in the end depends on ourselves, if we can't protect ourselves, it doesn't make sense to ask people to follow the funeral, and the water will come naturally."

Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes: "You are really broad-hearted." ”

Niu Youdao: "You can't turn your face with them now, right? It won't help to turn your face now, and it will make them completely stand on the other side, and it will be difficult to pull them back when the time comes, is this the result we want?"

At this moment, Lei Zongkang flew over and reported: "Master Dao, someone is asking to see you." ”

Niu Youdao asked, "Who is it?"

Lei Zongkang approached and whispered, "People from the Yan Imperial Court." ”

Niu Youdao frowned, "How many people came, what happened?"

Lei Zongkang: "One man and one woman, just two people, the woman is very beautiful." I didn't say why I came, I just said I wanted to see you. ”

"Please. Niu Youdao bowed his head, and after Lei Zongkang left, he turned his head and gave Guan Fangyi a look, signaling vigilance.

Not long after, two people in black cloaks entered the Maolu Villa, and Lei Zongkang led the two to the water pavilion.

In the water pavilion, Guan Fangyi and Niu Youdao were already waiting, and behind them, Chen Bo and others were accompanied by a few people, on guard.

The two visitors had their heads covered in their cloaks and hats, and they couldn't see their true faces, but they both took off their hats one after another after seeing Niu Youdao.

It is indeed a man and a woman, the man is a thin man, with a white face and no beard, frost and white hair on his temples, a jasper hairpin, a hooked nose, and a cold gaze.

The woman is a shy face in the closed moon, revealing a sense of nobility, but with a slightly tired look on her face.
