Chapter 639 It's in My Hands, It's Not Damaged at All!

Meng Shanming understood, and said slowly: "The feudal lords are retreating day by day, the rebel army is rampant, and the imperial court has to delegate power to Nanzhou. The Dao Lord is really a good way, but... the rebel army is expanding rapidly, and the war has affected the land, and I don't know how many people To destroy the family."

Niu Youdao also understands the truth, encouraging the rebels to expand the combat area, after all, it is ordinary people who suffer.

"Meng Shuai, the world is like this, some things are unavoidable, we don't fight for the initiative, the initiative falls into the hands of those people, they will never change, the people will not wait for the dawn after a long night of suffering, if we have the will , it was all worth it.”

Niu Youdao's tone was heavy, he knew how many people would be killed if he made this decision, so he stood up slowly and wandered around the house.

"Although I don't know how to march and fight, I still know some basic truths. Encourage the rebels to expand the battle situation. The rebels are tired after a long battle. After the battle situation expands, their forces should also spread. It can speed up the tendency of the rebels to act like this, and push them to the end of their strength. If any external force is applied at this time, the bowstring will surely break!"

"Although the princes are defeated at this time, the troops of all parties are in place, and they can counterattack at any time, just wait for Meng Shuai's order! At this time, the worse the situation is, the better for us. The court is incompetent, and the subjects of Dayan are disappointed! The princes are incompetent , the subjects of Dayan were disappointed! Who in the world can save Dayan? At this time, the son of King Ning raised his arms and called out to the princes. Swallows are in water and fire, how is the heart?"

He walked up to Meng Shanming and leaned over to ask.

Guan Fangyi, who was listening, was shocked, and only then did she truly understand Niu Youdao's true intentions.

Meng Shanming was silent for a long time, only his dignified eyes were dark and dim, and finally sighed softly: "Master Dao is far-sighted, letter, I will write it!"

Niu Youdao straightened up, gestured to Guan Fangyi, who immediately walked away quickly, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally studied ink for Meng Shanming.

After tonight, Niu Youdao did not let Meng Shanming leave, but temporarily left Meng Shanming here, allowing Meng Shanming to analyze the battle situation and the trend of the battle situation for him at any time.

...

In a place with verdant vegetation, surrounded by mountains and rivers, a large army was stationed, Xu Jingyue, governor of Gongzhou, and several generals wandered by the lakeside to discuss matters.

A pawn came running and reported: "My lord, there is a man outside asking to see him, he said he is an old friend of your lord."

"Old friend?" Xu Jingyue turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

The pawn said: "I don't know, he refuses to say, saying that the adults will naturally know when they see him."

Soon, the so-called 'old friend' was brought in, and a monk who accompanied him whispered in Xu Jingyue's ear: "It's a monk, he's been controlled, and he's been searched, there's nothing else, only A letter." The letter lit up in his hand.

Xu Jingyue looked at the 'old friend' and found that she didn't recognize her, so she asked, "Who are you, and why are you pretending to be an old friend from this residence?"

The visitor raised his chin towards the letter, "Your Excellency will know the reason after reading the letter."

The letter is for me? Xu Jingyue looked back at the letter.

The cultivator at the side immediately tore open the envelope, shook out a piece of paper to check it, and handed it to Xu Jingyue after confirming that there was no problem.

Xu Jingyue took the letter and scanned it casually. When she touched the familiar handwriting on the letter, her expression was already moved, and then she looked carefully.

The more he looked, the more complicated his expression became, and finally he let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, with an unbearable expression on his face.

The letter was from Meng Shanming, in which Meng Shanming scolded, asking why Xu Jingyue didn't kill the enemy and serve the country when Dayan was in danger? Every word and every sentence in the letter reveals the feeling of eagerness to go to war, but unfortunately, being suppressed by the court, there is nowhere to use his power, and there is nowhere to vent his grief and anger, so he has to write a letter to reprimand him.

...

An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou, was sitting in front of the case in a courtyard where heavy troops gathered, his hands trembling as he held the letter, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Meng Shanming let out a mournful roar in the letter, wanting to go to the battlefield with his old, weak and disabled body, which made him feel so miserable.

Finally, the letter paper was slapped on the table with a bang, shaking his head and crying, trembling and choking, "Meng Shuai!"

...

On the official road, the army meanders all the way, with no end in sight, and the war is urgent, but they are dragging along.

Under the tree beside the road, Zhang Hu, the governor of Changzhou, who was holding a letter, suddenly turned around and punched the tree trunk several times with heavy fists. His eyes were already red, and the leaves were shaken off.

The lieutenant-general at the side said in surprise: "My lord, why is this so?"

Zhang Hu threw the letter to him to read.

After reading it, the deputy general sighed softly, "Why bother Meng Shuai? Now is not the time for King Ning to hold the military power. So what if the brothers try their best? If you sacrifice your life for the country and die in battle, you will become a traitor in the eyes of the court. Who can do that?" willing?"

Zhang Hu propped his fists on the tree, bowed his head and said: "I was just a horseman back then, without Meng Shuai's support, how could I be where I am today? Meng Shuai cried blood and mourned with his old and disabled body, I really..." Then he let go and turned around, angry Said: "Wu Gongling is nothing, dare to speak wildly to sweep Dayan. When I became famous on the battlefield, his brother was still leading the prince's horse. Order the army to speed up immediately!"

The lieutenant general was shocked, "My lord! If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your brothers too. My lord has spent all his money. Who will take care of their family? Do you count on the court?"

Zhang Hu said angrily, "How dare you disobey orders?"

"I..." The lieutenant was speechless, and could only execute in the end.

Soon, the marching speed of the army accelerated and entered the trotting forward mode.

Zhang Hu and others led a group of personal guards to gallop towards the front of the army.

Almost at the same time, several monks galloped over on horseback, caught up with Zhang Hu, and said loudly, "Why did Lord Inspector suddenly increase his marching speed?"

Faced with the questioning of several monks, Zhang Hu, who finally calmed down, looked at the faces of his men and horses passing by, and had to face reality, and the army moved forward slowly again.

...

Standing under the eaves of the Imperial Palace of the Yan State, Shi Sheng, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, stroked his beard with one hand, and checked with a piece of letter paper in the other. What he saw was the letter that Meng Shanming wrote to Su Qitong, the governor of Haozhou, and he was the backing of Haozhou. people.

After he read the letter, the junior brother who was waiting on the side said: "Senior brother, Su Qitong thinks what Meng Shanming said is reasonable, there are no eggs under the overturned nest, I hope that I can let go of my hands and feet and fight the rebels!"

Su Qitong reprimanded: "What kind of battle are you fighting? Bravery of a man! Is he good at fighting? Do you want to take him to fight Han Song? Is it time for him to be brave all by himself? Haozhou's men and horses are exhausted. When Shang Jianxiong can be merciful Great grief? If you stabilize the situation on the front foot, he can fill in on the back foot. Who among the reinforcements waits for others to die, and it's his turn to take the lead?"

The younger brother said: "Brother, I don't mean anything else, just relaying what he said."

At this moment, a disciple ran over quickly and said to Shi Sheng: "Master, the head of the sect has called for an urgent call."

Shi Sheng asked, "What's the matter?"

The disciple said: "The Cangzhou rebels suddenly stepped up their offensive. The offensive was fierce, and the imperial court retreated steadily."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, then walked away quickly.

When they rushed to a palace, the senior executives of Xiaoyao Palace who had followed here were basically there, and Long Xiu was seen walking back and forth with a serious face and hands behind his back.

When everyone arrived, Long Xiu asked Yi Shu to report the battle situation.

Afterwards, Long Xiu stopped and said to the crowd, "The Cangzhou rebels have suddenly stepped up their offensive. The situation may change. The disciples in the opposing army should immediately warn them to prevent the opposing army from making a surprise attack."

Everyone nodded, Shi Sheng then said: "Sect Leader, civil strife can't be ignored, do you want to let the Nanzhou army come out to fight?"

As soon as these words came out, Yi Shu suddenly said: "Uncle, the cow thief dares to snatch the food from the court, so you still expect him to be successful?"

Long Xiu glanced coldly, as if to say, when is it your turn to speak here?

Yi Shu lowered his head, knowing that he was presumptuous, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Long Xiu could see that this apprentice hated Niu Youdao in general, did he see that he had the intention of marrying him off?

This idea just flashed in my mind, and I pushed it aside first, and said to everyone: "Now is the time to consume the strength of both sides, this matter can be delayed, and there is no rush to let Nanzhou come out to break the situation. What's more, Niu That fellow Youdao is indeed a bit difficult to control, and it is not certain whether he will be obedient and send troops. However, the Cangzhou rebels are not to worry about, and I don’t believe that several families will join forces to urge the princes to use their strength to destroy him.”

Shi Sheng, who was holding his hands in his arms, touched the letter in his sleeve. Meng Shanming had already made it clear that as long as the imperial court issued an order, Nanzhou would definitely send troops.

However, he still didn't take out the letter in the end, otherwise, if he refused to use force in the future, people would see through his attempt.

Long Xiu then asked again: "How is the food movement in Nanzhou?"

An elder sighed, "It was handed over. There was news from Xue Xiao in Dingzhou that another 20 cars were handed over today. But according to his way of handing over, he can only hand over one car after a hundred days." Two thousand chariots, even if the battle is over, he can only hand over his skin, but we still have no temper with him, and we are afraid that he will turn him back, this guy has nothing to fear!"

Yi Shu gritted his teeth secretly, and cursed the dog thief secretly!

"Hmph!" Long Xiu sneered again and again, "See how I deal with him later! Urge, keep urging him to speed up! Didn't he say that there is a problem with the vehicle? Let Xue Xiao collect the vehicle from Dingzhou to pick it up, I'll see him What reason is there to procrastinate!"

reason? No need for reason, before the vehicles collected by Dingzhou entered the territory of Nanzhou, they encountered a group of masked robbers and defeated the escorts in Dingzhou. The people driving the vehicles scattered and fled in fright.

The robbers were so angry that they couldn't grab anything, they set fire to all the vehicles and burned them down...

Guan Fangyi quickly came to Niu Youdao's yard in the thatched cottage, and found Niu Youdao who was talking with Meng Shanming, and reported: "There is news from Dachan Mountain that the grain truck has been destroyed. The three major sects did not come to us to explain, but went to Dachan Mountain to explain, and Dachan Mountain is limited to find those bandits within three days, Huang Lie is very headache."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing. The three major sects knew that it was useless to find this place, so they started to embarrass Dachan Mountain.

Niu Youdao: "It's simple, you just let Huang Lie say that the bandits have already entered the territory of Zhao State."

Guan Fangyi couldn't help laughing and said, "You really want to withhold this batch of food!"

Niu Youdao shook his head, and also sighed softly, "These grains were transported all the way, how many people have died when the monks from the five countries on both sides fought against each other? Why is the grain safe when it arrives in my Nanzhou territory? You think I really only want to How much money is there in the Han and Song Dynasties? Similarly, the supplies from the Jin and Qi countries are safest only if they go to Nanzhou. If they go to other places, there will be looting and destruction. They will understand in the future. Those who have obtained these grains will not be harmed in my hands!"

Guan Fangyi suddenly realized at this time, looking at Niu Youdao with complicated eyes, and realized what it means to work hard.

Meng Shanming, who was listening in a wheelchair, showed a respectful expression, and finally understood someone's painstaking efforts.
