Chapter 564
In the governor's mansion of Dingzhou, the governor Xue Xiao had a dark face.
On the ground in front of him were five dried human heads.
One of them was Song Shu who he sent to escort Song Shu to the capital, and the other four were four experts who escorted Song Shu. Five people went to the capital, but their bodies went somewhere, but their heads came back.
A coachman drove to the gate of the governor's mansion before, and brought a box, saying that it was a gift sent to the governor's mansion.
Open the box here and take a look, who would have thought it was this gift.
"Who did it?" an accompanying mage said in a deep voice.
Xue Xiao snorted coldly, "Who else could have done it? The next door is protesting against us. The court slapped that person in the face, and that person slapped him back, rampant! I want to see how long you can continue to be rampant!"
He has received a secret order from the imperial court to mobilize troops and raise supplies. He is the one who knows that Nanzhou is going to be in trouble.
...
Daxue Mountain, Rainbow Inn, several guests entered with murmurs.
Standing at the entrance of the inn with his hands behind his back, Chu Anlou, the innkeeper looking at the situation in the canyon, turned his head and followed the guests in, vaguely hearing the word "ghost doctor". Standing here for a while is not the first time I heard such mutterings, and some people who went in before seemed to have mentioned the ghost doctor.
The guest disappeared inside, and he waved for a waiter to come over, and asked, "Why do you keep hearing about ghost doctors, is there something wrong?"
The man was stunned, "I don't know!"
Just at this time, a fellow who was going to inspect the canyon flew over, landed outside the inn and quickly walked up the steps, and reported to him, "Shopkeeper, Wandong Tianfu has released a message to find the ghost doctor."
Chu Anlou was curious, "Why are you looking for a ghost doctor? Didn't the kid over there be cured by the ghost doctor and taken away?"
The man replied: "It is said that the eldest princess of Jinzhou has been poisoned by a strange poison, and she is looking for a ghost doctor to treat her. Those who can provide information to help find the ghost doctor will be rewarded."
"Extraordinary poison?" Chu Anlou murmured.
...
Yanjing Grand Sikong Mansion, Ga Miaoshui, who had returned from Nanzhou, wore a cloak and strode straight in.
There was no need for any special notification, someone guided them, and they were directly brought inside to meet Tong Mo.
Tong Mo, who was standing in the courtyard, waved to the individual visitors, and the surrounding officials retreated respectfully, leaving a private space for the two of them.
The two were not too polite, Tong Mo said: "Song Jiuming's son, Song Shu, was killed on the way here, and his head was thrown at Xue Xiao's door."
Ga Miaoshui nodded, "I already knew about this on the way here."
Tong Mo: "Has the deal been settled at Dachan Mountain?"
Ga Miaoshui: "Neither promised nor refused, perfunctory."
"It's another fool, I'm still waiting and watching. But if you don't refuse, it's not a bad thing. As long as the momentum is wrong, when the army overwhelms the border, you will definitely turn back!" Tong Mo sneered, and stroked his beard again: "Eunuch Ga, just received the news, It is said that Hai Ruyue from Jinzhou was poisoned, it seems that Hai Wuji did it."
Ga Miaoshui: "I already know, and I'm about to talk about it with the Prime Minister. Hai Wuji has made a move, we should not delay any longer, we should take advantage of the situation, there is no need to cover it up, and the soldiers and horses will go ahead before the food and grass are moved. , It is time for His Majesty to make a formal decree regarding the deployment of the organization's manpower."
With a wave of Tong Mo's hand, someone immediately gave him a memorial, "I am about to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, if you have nothing to do, Eunuch Ga might as well come together."
Ga Miaoshui stepped aside and made a gesture of please.
The two then left hand in hand.
...
In the dark and depressing grand palace of Jin Kingdom, Tai Shuxiong stood in front of a map with his hands on his hips, looking at it with treacherous eyes.
The eunuch at the door stretched out his hand, Shao Pingbo nodded slightly, stepped over the threshold to enter, and walked to Tai Shuxiong's side to salute, "Your Majesty."
The attitude is respectful and obedient, and it’s okay not to be obedient. Now that he has completely lost his power in his hand, it is difficult to do anything, and he can only be attached to the person in front of him for the time being.
Tai Shuxiong still stared at the map, "How is your body?"
Shao Pingbo: "Much better."
"How's the contact with your father in Northern State?"
"Still no reply."
"Your body needs to rest, and you shouldn't be too excited. Don't be impatient. After all, you are a father and son. Take your time." Tai Shuxiong pointed to Jinzhou in the direction of Zhao Guo, "Jinzhou Hai Ruyue has been poisoned, have you heard?"
Shao Pingbo: "I just saw the news from 'Black Water Terrace'."
Tai Shuxiong: "Hai Wuji should attack Jinzhou. The transfer of troops from Qi and Wei gave Hai Wuji a good chance to attack. It seems that Qi and Wei are still afraid of you. You came to Jinzhou The country, the two countries are frightened." After saying that, he laughed.
"It's not that I'm afraid of humble ministers, it's Your Majesty who is afraid." Shao Pingbo bowed slightly, raised his back, stepped forward two steps, and pointed to Nanzhou of Yan Kingdom, "Shang Jianxiong should also do something to Nanzhou." When he said this, his eyes flashed There was a touch of imperceptible excitement.
Tai Shuxiong was slightly puzzled, "How can you see that?"
Shao Pingbo gestured with his fingers on the map, "Golden State and Nanzhou depend on each other and rely on each other. If Hai Wuji moves Jinzhou, Nanzhou will send troops to help. The two states will join forces and the war will be greatly delayed. Once Zhao is exhausted, South Korea It is very possible to take advantage of it, Hai Wuji is unlikely to take such a big risk."
"Wei Chen has been in Yan Kingdom for many years, and he is no stranger to the situation there. When Shang Jianxiong succeeded to the throne, there were rumors in Yan Kingdom that the throne was originally passed on to King Ning, Shang Jianbo, and that Shang Jianbo might have been murdered by Shang Jianxiong. Yes, coupled with Shang Jianbo's prestige in the army of the Yan State, this matter made Shang Jianxiong feel like a stick in his throat. The Shang Dynasty Zong gathered the old tribe of King Ning, defeated Zhou Shouxian in Nanzhou and occupied Nanzhou in one fell swoop, and his powerful combat power shocked the world. , its rising momentum will definitely make Shang Jianxiong restless."
"Shang Dynasty Zong's intention to get involved in the Yan Kingdom is too obvious, and it is the royal family. Rumors have added an orthodox color to the Shang Dynasty Zong. It is easy to confuse people under the banner of Shang Jianbo, and its rise has seriously threatened Shang Jianxiong's throne. , Shang Jianxiong is tolerable or unbearable. Once all the troubles are gone, he must attack Nanzhou. Hai Wuji dared to do this, it should be Shang Jianxiong who is going to attack Nanzhou, and it is very likely that Shang Jianxiong took the initiative to contact Zhao Guo."
Tai Shuxiong nodded, "It makes sense. The two countries joined forces, and it seems that Jinzhou and Nanzhou are doomed."
"Not necessarily." Shao Pingbo shook his head, "When it comes to Jinzhou and Nanzhou, there is one person I have to mention, and this person is Niu Youdao who made this official defeat him. Jianxiong wants to move Nanzhou, he can't fail to see it, according to Wei Chen, Nanzhou's general trend is certain, he should go to Jinzhou to discuss the matter of borrowing troops to help, and plan ahead. Hai Ruyue gave birth, it is the opportunity to visit, If Weichen's prediction is correct, he will definitely take the opportunity to go."
"The people in Wandong Tianfu are conservative, they don't have the strength to dare to take risks. The news of Hai Ruyue's poisoning in Wandong Tianfu dare not make it public, they will only hide it. Now that they are making a big splash, I am afraid that Hai Wuji will be caught off guard. This is not Wandong. Tianfu's behavior style. Niu Youdao is both good and evil, and this move is more like Niu Youdao's style of taking a slanted sword. According to various signs, Niu Youdao himself is likely to be in Jinzhou at this time."
Tai Shuxiong was surprised. After learning that this man's body should not be stimulated, he didn't let the 'Black Water Terrace' pass the relevant information to this man to see the news about Niu Youdao in Jinzhou. Youdao did not tell this person about what he did.
If you succeed, you will naturally tell this to make this person happy. If you don't succeed, you will lose face if you say it too early.
What he didn't expect was that this man actually deduced that Niu Youdao was in Jinzhou, which really surprised him again.
Little did he know that Shao Pingbo had already suspected that Tai Shuxiong deliberately blocked the information to prevent himself from knowing that Niu Youdao was in Jinzhou.
It's just that Shao Pingbo's ideas are inconsistent with Tai Shuxiong's. Shao Pingbo thinks that Tai Shuxiong doesn't want to let himself only care about personal enmity.
"Since he said he won't sit still, how do you think this Niu Youdao will solve this matter?" Tai Shuxiong asked.
Seeing that the other party ignored the question of whether Niu Youdao was in Jinzhou, Shao Pingbo became more and more sure of his inference that Niu Youdao should be in Jinzhou.
He pointed to the various countries, "There are only a few possibilities. To persuade Wei, Qi, Han, and Song to exert pressure, the envoys of several countries happened to be in Jinzhou, which happened to give him a chance. Another possibility is to persuade the three major factions of Yan to stop it strongly. However, this possibility is unlikely. As long as Nanzhou is in the hands of Yan Guo, whoever eats it will not affect their interests. Shang Jianxiong should be determined this time. If the power is on Shang Jianxiong's side, Shang Jianxiong is destined to succeed If that is the case, the three factions will not fall out with Shang Jianxiong, they will just turn a blind eye."
"As for the Kingdom of Wei and Qi, they were afraid of being attacked by the Kingdom of Jin. The focus of defense has always been on the Kingdom of Jin. In addition to this increase in troops, the two countries will at most talk about it, and there will be no actual actions to deploy troops. They will not be scared. Zhao Guo can be ruled out. As for South Korea, Shang Jianxiong knew that he was confronting South Korea and wanted to take action against Nanzhou. He was obviously mentally prepared for confrontation. Most likely, Song Guo is the only one left with the strongest pressure effect. Niu Youdao should think of a way to drag Song Guo into the water."
Tai Shuxiong said loudly, "In this way, since there is a direction of prevention, the lonely king must find a way to prevent him from succeeding, and just let the destruction of Nanzhou be Pingbo, and you will avenge yourself!"
"No!" Shao Pingbo stopped immediately, then turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is kind, and I appreciate it. This matter will affect the whole body. Your Majesty's big plan has just begun. After taking down Weiguo and Qiguo, it will be ready." Before sending troops to the Eastern Expedition, we should not allow the four eastern countries to have a chance to become stronger, and let none of them annex the other to maintain a state of disunity and consume each other, and it will be most beneficial to leave it to His Majesty to sweep away in the future."
Tai Shuxiong looked at him and nodded repeatedly, with a look of relief, "Heroes see the same thing!"
How could he know that Shao Pingbo really wanted to take the opportunity to intervene to end Nanzhou, if this was his Beizhou, he would definitely do so.
In his personal opinion, Niu Youdao is more dangerous than Nanzhou, but the resources of Jin country cannot be squandered by him to avenge his personal revenge.
The key is that Niu Youdao is a person who makes strange moves repeatedly. Even if he intervenes, he may not be able to stop him. The ghost knows how Niu Youdao will do it. He has used the resources of the Jin country but it has no effect. He was criticized by others, and he was favored by the Emperor Jin when he first came, which made many people uncomfortable.
If he really wanted to avoid future troubles, it would be better to let the Jin country directly send experts to get rid of Niu Youdao at any cost, but he couldn't say this kind of personal revenge.
I haven't got a firm foothold yet when I first came, and many things are inconvenient to do.
In addition to suspecting that Tai Shuxiong was testing, he could only act as if he was thinking about the overall situation of Jin.
