Chapter 326

After hearing the voice, Dong Sheng looked around and saw that the speaker was a young man who had come with Shao Fang. He was in his twenties, with fair skin, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose, and handsome appearance. Even though he was wearing ordinary people's clothes, he still looked handsome. Revealing a unique temperament, he was wondering about this young man's identity just now, but he was too shy to ask. Now he just found the topic and asked: "This is..."

Tang Yin just slightly arched his hands and said: "Here at the head of Tianyuan County in Lower Wind Country, Tang Yin's latest chapter!"

"Ah?" Dong Sheng, who was so calm and mature, couldn't help but his face changed after hearing Tang Yin's self-report of family status, and he asked with surprise: "You... you are the commander-in-chief of the Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin?"

"That's right!" Tang Yin put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

After receiving Tang Yin's confirmation, Dong Sheng felt it was incredible. Tang Yin was not in Feng Country, so how could he be in Mo Country? Why are you with His Highness Shao Fang again? what on earth is it? Now even a shrewd person like Dong Sheng was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Shao Fang now regarded Dong Sheng as one of his own. He said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Prime Minister Dong. Brother Tang and I have formed a blood alliance!" As he spoke, he told Tang Yin's intention of sneaking into Mo Country, as well as all the discussions he had with him. The matter was told to Dong Sheng exactly as it was.

After Dong Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized that Tang Yin came to win over Mo Guo and join forces with him to fight against Ning. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a breath. With the relationship between Mo Ning and Mo Ning so close, Tang Yin dared to personally sneak into Mo Country and go directly to see Shao Fang, the second prince. His courage and courage alone were far beyond anyone's comparison.

Before Dong Sheng could answer, Tang Yin stepped forward and said quietly: "The ambition of Ning State is very great, and the national power is also very strong. Once Zhong Tian is allowed to take the position of Peng King, it will be like the entire Feng State being swallowed up by Ning State, overturning the nest." Is Xia'an finished? If the Feng Kingdom is destroyed by Ning, then the Ning Kingdom will point its finger at your country."

Dong Sheng stared at Tang Yin while silently pondering his words. What Tang Yin said was what he was worried about, but he also understood that Tang Yin took the risk to come to Mo Country not to help himself, but for himself. Only by winning over and stabilizing Mo Country could the Tianyuan Army under Tang Yin be able to Defeat Zhong Tian and seize the country of Feng.

Judging from the current situation, the independent Feng State is more beneficial to the Mo State than the Feng State being annexed by the Ning State. Assisting Tang Yin's Tianyuan Army is equivalent to saving himself. Thinking of this, Dong Sheng completely calmed down from his surprise. After a moment of reflection, he smiled leisurely, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Tang, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Tang Yin returned the greeting with a smile: "Mr. Dong, you're welcome!"

"Have you made a blood alliance with His Highness?"

"Yes!"

"It will be beneficial to you to form an alliance with His Highness!" Dong Sheng said with a smile. Supporting Tang Yin is beneficial to Mo State, so he will naturally support it, but that does not mean that he does not want to extract benefits from Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was a very smart man. As soon as he heard Dong Sheng's words, he immediately realized that the old man had bad intentions. He smiled and said: "Your Highness's alliance with me is not only beneficial to my side, but beneficial to both parties. After all, it is much better for Feng Country to contain Ning Country than for your country to face Ning Country alone. Mr. Dong, what do you think? ?”

Before Dong Sheng could answer, Tang Yin said again: "And in order to show my sincerity and put His Highness on the throne of King Mo, I have promised to give His Highness a lot of money to win over the ministers in the court!"

"Isn't that enough?!" Dong Sheng was a competent minister. His first consideration was not himself, but the entire country of Mo. He said with a smile: "Even if His Highness does not receive a large sum of money from Mr. Tang, I can still find a way to make His Highness the Crown Prince until he becomes King Mo."

When Shao Fang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, while Tang Yin and Zong Yuan frowned secretly, muttering in their hearts that Dong Sheng was difficult to deal with.

Tang Yin smiled and asked: "In the opinion of Prime Minister Dong, how can it be enough?"

Dong Sheng said: "If you can really defeat Zhong Tian, ​​I will do my best to prevent the king from sending troops to Feng and assist Mr. Tang in annihilating Zhong Tian's forces. In return, I hope that after Mr. Tang aspires to be the King of Feng, he will give up his hegemony to Feng. My country!"

Baguan is the southern gateway of Feng Kingdom, and its importance is almost the same as that of Tongmen. However, there has been no war between Feng and Mo for a long time, so Baguan is not that important. If Baguan is occupied by Mo State, Feng State will give up the southern gateway to Mo State, just like its own little tail is caught in the hands of Mo State, and it will be controlled by Mo State in the future.

Tang Yin secretly clenched his fists and said: "Baguan has been the territory of our Feng Kingdom since ancient times. I'm afraid Dong Xiang is asking for it so forcefully. I'm afraid it's not an ally?" As he spoke, Tang Yin turned to look at Shao Fang, and from a certain aspect In other words, Shao Fang is much easier to talk to than Dong Sheng.

Shao Fang also felt that Dong Sheng's request for Ba Pass from Tang Yin was a bit excessive at this time. From the bottom of his heart, he only cared about whether he could become the prince and the king of Mo State. As for Ba Pass, it was just a fortress. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fall into his own hands. Besides, he is also very grateful to Tang Yin. The reason why he was able to win Dong Sheng over to his side at this time was entirely due to Tang Yin. If Tang Yin hadn't allowed him to visit Dong Sheng in person, and if Zong Yuan hadn't stopped him just now, he still wouldn't know what Dong Sheng was thinking. What an idea!

Seeing Tang Yin looking at him, he laughed dryly and said softly to Dong Sheng: "Prime Minister Dong, Brother Tang and I are already blood-based allies." He didn't say anything more, but just re-emphasized that he and Tang Yin were inseparable. relationship between.

Dong Sheng sighed secretly. How can national affairs and the interests between countries be mixed with personal feelings? However, Shao Fang was willing to speak for Tang Yin, which made Dong Sheng see another side of Shao Fang. He was not a ruthless and cold-blooded person. He whispered: "Your Highness can see the ambition of Ningguo. Aren't you afraid that Fengguo will become another Ningguo in the future?"

Shao Fang was stunned and looked at Dong Sheng with a frown.

Dong Sheng couldn't say it too directly with Tang Yin present. He had never seen Tang Yin before and didn't think he was anything special. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he immediately became alert. Tang Yin was definitely not an ordinary person. Not to mention his courage to sneak into Moguo alone, just the fact that he was prepared for a rainy day, his mind was far beyond the reach of others. If Tang Yin became the King of Feng, would it also pose a threat to Moguo? These had to be considered. If the Baguan could be obtained, Moguo could attack Fengguo and retreat to defend Fengguo. Even if Fengguo had the intention of plotting something wrong, it would have to be wary of itself.

After Shao Fang understood what Dong Sheng meant, he looked at Tang Yin, then at Dong Sheng, burst into laughter, and said, "Let's discuss this matter later!"

Tang Yin had no objection to this, as long as he didn't take over the pass now, the later the better, and it would be best to wait until his side completely eliminated Zhong Tian's forces before discussing it.

Dong Sheng nodded helplessly. Now in front of Tang Yin, there were many things that were difficult to explain clearly.

Both sides had their own concerns, but fortunately, there was one thing that both sides had in common, that is, to find a way to push Shao Fang to the position of the prince of Mo State first.

In Dong Sheng's words, in addition to gaining the support of the ministers, competing for the position of the prince inevitably involved some shady means and tricks.

Shao Fang didn't understand what means and tricks he was talking about, and asked doubtfully: "What does Prime Minister Dong mean..."

"Keep them close and keep them away, and make them distant when they are close!" Dong Sheng said with a smile: "To change the decision that the monarch has made, we must first alienate the relationship between the monarch and His Highness Shao Bo, and even make the monarch suspicious of His Highness Shao Bo!"

"Oh?" Shao Fang took a breath, rolled his eyes, and murmured: "How can this be done?"

Dong Sheng smiled and asked back: "Your Highness, what do you think the monarch is most afraid of happening between the princes?"

Shao Fang shook his head and said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, Prime Minister Dong!"

Dong Sheng said: "What the monarch is most afraid of is that the princes form cliques for personal gain, kill each other, and even plot to kill the monarch and seize the throne!"

Shao Fang was puzzled. What does this have to do with Shao Bo? Although he can't say that he knows his brother well, he knows a thing or two. Shao Bo is as timid as a needle nose, and he is kind. Even if he is beaten to death, he dare not kill the monarch, and he will not kill other princes.

Dong Sheng saw Shao Fang's thoughts and said, "Then what do you think is the biggest obstacle for His Highness Shao Bo to become the crown prince?"

Shao Fang shook his head.

Dong Sheng said, "It's the order of succession! According to the order of succession, Your Highness is superior to His Highness Shao Bo. It is a taboo to abolish the eldest son and establish the youngest son. This is also the concern of the monarch who has not yet appointed a crown prince. If Your Highness is unfortunate... I am just assuming that if Your Highness is unfortunate enough to have an accident, then it is natural for His Highness Shao Bo to become the crown prince. So, if Your Highness has an accident, His Highness Shao Bo is the most suspicious. Even if there is no real evidence, the monarch will suspect His Highness Shao Bo, and then he will become suspicious and alienated!"

Shao Fang felt as if his thatched cottage had been opened up when he heard this. Tang Yin and Zong Yuan on the side were secretly shocked. The right prime minister of the Mo Kingdom was so cunning and scheming that it was shocking.

"Great plan! What a great plan!" Shao Fang stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the room, and praised repeatedly.

Dong Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "But, if you use this plan, Your Highness will inevitably suffer physical pain!"

Shao Fang waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I don't die, I can be injured as much as I want." After a pause, he asked, "When do you think it's best to act according to the plan?"

Dong Sheng said, "If you delay, things will change. The sooner the better."

"Just follow the plan, Prime Minister Dong!"

Shao Fang listened to Tang Yin's words and came to visit Dong Sheng. It was a great success. Not only did he successfully win Dong Sheng over to his side, but the latter also came up with a plan for him to alienate the relationship between Prince Mo and Shao Bo.

On the way back home, Shao Fang sincerely thanked Tang Yin and said, "This time, it's thanks to Brother Tang's advice. Otherwise, I would have missed the opportunity with Prime Minister Dong."

Tang Yin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If he had known that Dong Sheng was such a powerful and difficult character, he would not have persuaded Shao Fang to come and win him over.
