Chapter 656
Niu Youdao will not leak the truth about the source of the news easily, "It's not important. The important thing is that Xiaoyao Palace is sure about the next counter-insurgency. It doesn't matter whether you use the prince or not. We have to settle accounts with the prince."
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes, and said again: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Nanzhou, how dare Xiaoyao Palace make trouble?"
Niu Youdao: "I won't mess around. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and prepare to control the prince and take him away. They want to catch me by surprise!"
Guan Fangyi was puzzled, "Catch you off guard?"
Niu Youdao: "I'm not by the prince's side, I haven't shown up by the prince's side all the time, people can't figure it out. Long Xiu thinks I will find a way to deal with the prince's killing of Shi Sheng, and I am indeed thinking of a way to deal with it. The prince openly Killing the elders of Xiaoyao Palace will lose the face of Xiaoyao Palace, and Long Xiu, the leader, can't just sit back and watch. But I'm afraid that I will block my action after the event is imminent, so I decisively strike at this time. Indeed It's Gao Ming, who really caught me off guard, I didn't expect them to be able to suddenly change their commanders at the juncture of countering the rebellion."
Guan Fangyi suddenly looked strange, and jokingly said: "From what you said, Long Xiu is a little afraid of you? Our Daoist is really immodest."
What does Niu Youdao say about this, the strengths of the two sides are not directly proportional, and he doesn't think Long Xiu has any reason to be afraid of him, but this is what Gao Jiancheng said in his letter, Long Xiu said Niu Youdao was the most unpredictable change . After the imperial court agreed, Shang Yongzhong cooperated with Xiaoyao Palace. Gao Jiancheng had already figured out the plot there, and sent detailed information to let this side make early preparations.
Seeing that he was silent, Guan Fangyi asked, "What should I do?"
Niu Youdao thought about it and said: "After arresting Shang Chaozong and forcing me to show up, it is estimated that I should be asked to settle Nanzhou's affairs later on. Once Nanzhou is safe, it will be the time of the prince's death."
Guan Fangyi sighed, "Oh, this prince! Fortunately, you knew the news in advance, so hurry up and tell the prince to get away."
Niu Youdao also thought this way, his first thought was like this, but after he thought about it, if he really wanted to do this, Gao Jiancheng might be exposed, Gao Jiancheng was in a position worth a million heroes, and he couldn't easily make any mistakes, He must find a way to protect him, and not let any doubts fall on Gao Jiancheng.
After deliberating for a while, he asked back: "Are you still arguing about the hundreds of thousands of captives?"
Guan Fangyi nodded, "The news from Gongsun Bu said so."
Niu Youdao nodded: "Exactly, this is an excellent excuse. Submit the message to the prince, and the prince will continue to preside over the matter of countering the rebellion, and let Meng Shanming lead the 100,000 cavalry to retreat. Let the prince make a decisive decision on the matter of the captives, and Meng Shanming will command Hundreds of thousands of cavalry escorted the hundreds of thousands of captives back to the previous war-torn land for resettlement. Most of the people in Dachan Mountain evacuated with Meng Shanming. Tell the prince and Meng Shuai that this is the prince's own decision, and no one else should know that it is mine. mean."
"This..." Guan Fangyi was in shock, "With the protection of the prince's side removed at this time, wouldn't it be easier for the prince to be in danger?"
Niu Youdao: "He has to bear the risk for the things he does by himself, and can't be borne by others. He has been too smooth in the past few years, and he should suffer a little bit. Meng Shanming must be transferred, otherwise Meng Shanming I will not sit back and watch him in danger, I don't want this old man to fall under this kind of conspiracy, we must first ensure his safety."
Guan Fangyi didn't understand why he did this, and said anxiously: "Master Dao, it is absolutely possible for Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming to evacuate at this time!"
Niu Youdao turned his head and cast a cold look, "Quick! Do it right away!" There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Guan Fangyi sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, but she knew that there must be a reason for his decision, so she could only turn around and execute it.
After a golden wing was released, she came back and asked again: "Aren't you going to inform Huang Lie?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, the main forces have withdrawn. In the face of the attack from Xiaoyao Palace, Huang Lie will not go all out for the prince, and will honestly back down. There is no need to tell. The more people who tell, the easier it is to leak information."
...
At the place where the army gathered, not long after a golden wing landed, Gongsun Bu hurried to the main tent. Seeing that Shang Chaozong was discussing with a group of generals about the next counter-insurgency plan, he waited aside and waited for Shang Chaozong to see it. , he gave a wink.
Shang Chaozong knew well that there must be some new instructions from Niu Youdao, so he quickly put an end to the plan and let everyone retreat.
At this time, Gongsun Bufang sent the news from Niu Youdao.
After Shang Chaozong read the secret letter, he was also a little surprised, pondered for a while, and slowly nodded: "Reply to the letter, and do it immediately."
Gongsun Bu cupped his hands, turned and left.
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked, "Does Master Dao have any orders?"
Shang Chaozong stepped forward and gave him the secret letter.
Meng Shanming read the letter and was taken aback, "Let the forces around the prince withdraw at this time?"
After a little hesitation, Shang Chaozong said slowly: "Master Dao will not be aimless. There must be some reason for doing this at this time."
Meng Shanming frowned, he also understood the reason, but felt that doing so would put the prince in danger, but he really couldn't figure out Niu Youdao's intention, so he fell silent.
Shang Chaozong turned around and shouted, "Please come to the head of the emperor."
"Yes!" The messenger outside responded.
Not long after, Huang Lie led a few elders to arrive at a fast pace, and said with a smile, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Shang Dynasty Zong said forcefully: "I have made up my mind, I have decided to take those captives back and resettle them first..."
As soon as he explained the plan, Huang Lie was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Our men and horses have escorted the captives, what should you do, my lord?"
Shang Dynasty Zong said: "Don't worry, the head of the emperor, I will not harm myself, I will make my own decision."
After the internal coordination was completed, Shang Chaozong immediately issued a general order, which surprised other people. Unexpectedly, Shang Chaozong decided to pardon the captives.
He forced the order, and the other princes couldn't say anything.
Only Ga Miaoshui strongly objected, thinking that the Shang Dynasty Zong should not make decisions on these captives without authorization, and had to wait for the arrangement of the court.
But his objection is of no use here, what the army should implement is to implement, and will not implement his Ga Miaoshui's opinion.
Afterwards, Meng Shanming personally commanded the army, took the captives, and went all the way away under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After that, under the protection of Huang Lie and others, Shang Chaozong joined the command center of Su Qitong in Haozhou, and commanded the army to continue to chase and suppress the rebels in Wugongling.
...
After all, people and horses will be tired, and the army will inevitably stop and rest on the way.
A group of guests came quietly outside the temporary camp of An Xianzhao, governor of Tuzhou, Shen Yuhong, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, and a group of masters of Xiaoyao Palace, quietly came from the side of the mountain forest.
Yuan Long, the head teacher of Lingjian Mountain who was in charge of the people in Tuzhou, came out after hearing the news. After seeing Shen Yuhong, he asked strangely, "Brother Shen, why are you here?"
An Xianzhao then showed up from the tent to say hello and then retreated. He wanted to avoid the matter of the two sects of monks.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuhong raised his hand and said, "Lord An, please stay."
A group of people here are inexplicable and don't know what to do.
An Xianzhao asked doubtfully, "What orders does Elder Shen have?"
Shen Yuhong pointed to the tent of the Chinese army, "There are so many people outside, can you go in and say something?"
An Xianzhao looked at Shi Yuanlong, who asked in confusion, "Brother Shen, what's the matter?"
Shen Yuhong smiled and reached into his sleeve, and took out one of the two letters in his sleeve to show him.
Shi Yuanlong opened the letter and found that it was the letter from Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain. The letter contained all kinds of explanations, but his face changed suddenly after seeing it. .”
Irrelevant people retreated, a group of people entered, and after the curtains were lowered, Shi Yuan Long Fang said in a deep voice, "Are you going to move Shang Chaozong?"
An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou who was watching, was startled, only then did he know the purpose of these people.
Shen Yuhong said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuanlong, did he forget that Senior Brother Ling died at the hands of King Ning?"
Shi Yuanlong raised his brows slightly, that incident has already passed, what are you talking about with me?
Shen Yuhong continued: "Now that the Shang dynasty doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, he actually imitated his father and moved on the head of my Xiaoyao Palace. I am really impatient. How can my Xiaoyao Palace let him run wild? Do we really dare to deal with him? ?”
Shi Yuanlong looked at the letter in his hand again, "I have no objection if you want to move, but I want to remind you that he is not that active, and he may cause trouble if he is not careful."
Shen Yuhong chuckled, turned around and said, "My lord, at this point, there's no need to hide it anymore."
Prince? Everyone looked around, and saw that one of the people who came with Xiaoyao Palace raised his hand and tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true face. It was Yan Guo Da Sima Shang Yongzhong, who smiled and bowed to everyone: "Forgive me, forgive me, I have to forgive you, please forgive me."
Shi Yuanlong was surprised, "Prince De?"
The governor of Tuzhou, An Xianzhao, was also surprised and realized that not only the Xiaoyao Palace, but also the imperial court was going to attack the Shang Dynasty.
In view of the nominal superior-subordinate relationship, he hastened to salute, "The last general will see the chief minister!"
"Hey, don't be too polite, don't be too polite." Shang Yongzhong smiled and supported him with both hands, and patted his arm, "General An, we haven't seen each other for some years, and the demeanor is better than before, haha!" The attitude is very affectionate .
An Xianzhao accompanied him with a few words of politeness, he was not from the same group at all, although he was the Grand Sima of the Yan Kingdom, he was the one who supported the soldiers and respected himself, so there was nothing to be affectionate about.
Shen Yuhong said: "My lord, now is not the time to be polite, let's talk about something."
"Okay, okay." Shang Yongzhong nodded, glanced around, stared at the hanging map, paced to the front of the map, fingered it for a while, said: "About fifty miles away from here, there is a The narrow and long mountain range, when the 100,000 cavalry of the Shang Dynasty Zong entered, the masters could blow down both ends of the mountain range, and the 100,000 cavalry could not use it vertically and horizontally, and became a turtle in the urn. They can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Looking back at the crowd, he smiled again: "Of course, this matter still requires the cooperation of General An's men and horses."
