Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 123 Turning Hands into Clouds and Hands into Rain (4)
"I agree with the third child's opinion, presumably Nan Zhaohou may not have any good intentions." Iron Mad Cloud agreed after a little thought.
"Erchen seconded." After Ling Hu Ji, Tan Bai Ming, and Qi Sanbao saw Tie Qiyun's statement, they also echoed it.
"Huang'er, what do you think?" Mu Qingen suddenly asked Mu Qiuhuang.
Hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang stood up and said, "The child thinks that what Second Brother Shen and Third Brother Ouyang said has a certain amount of truth, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Mu Qingen asked calmly.
It's just that the child is thinking about what kind of attitude his father has towards the court now? In the third year of Long Qian, the little emperor Zhao ordered the princes ~ when he entered King Qin, except for his father and the Marquis of Xilie, the rest of the princes did not obey the order, including this Marquis of Nanzhao......" Mu Qiuhuang kept silent when he said this.
Everyone here also understands Mu Qiuhuang's meaning, Mu Qiuhuang's meaning is actually simple, the Beiyu Army has been a loyal servant of the Great You Empire in the eyes of the people of the world, and has never disobeyed His Majesty's will. But Nan Zhaohou is different, from the moment he resisted the decree back then, his ill intentions have been revealed. If Beiyu agrees to form an alliance with Nanzhaohou this time, no matter whether Beiyu sends troops or not, I believe that Nanzhaohou will inevitably make this news public. In this way, the image of loyal ministers that the Beiyu Army has maintained for so many years will no longer exist. The key problem is that although I am in chaos today, but after all, there is no big chaos, and it can be seen from the rebellion of the Marquis of Dongche that the hearts of the people in this world are still towards the great seclusion in the final analysis, and the little emperor has not done anything to provoke the people's resentment. Although you really want to get the world, after all, you have to rely on your own strength, in the troubled times, whoever has the big fist will have the final say, and the "people's heart" can be manipulated~ ...... However, now Beiyu's strength can only be regarded as top-notch, and it is far from reaching the point of overwhelming the princes and riding the dust.
"What you said is very reasonable, I, Beiyu, have always been loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and a brave heart can ......be learned from heaven and earth," Mu Qingen said righteously.
Seeing Mu Qiuen like this, Mu Qiuhuang was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that his face was really unbearable compared to his father, at least he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, he said it so upright, didn't he?
Iron Crazy Cloud and they naturally have a transparent attitude towards Mu Qingen, but they don't really think that Mu Qingen has much loyalty to this Great Ghost Empire. Not to mention themselves and the ordinary sergeants in the army of 300,000 tigers and wolves. They were all born and grew up in Si, and every grain of food they ate from childhood to adulthood was produced in the Beiyu territory, and the armor and weapons in their hands were also from the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, and even every grass, tree, needle and thread in their homes was the same...... All the gifts they enjoy are from the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, and they have nothing to do with the little emperor. If they really want to be loyal, they will only be loyal to this land, loyal to the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, loyal to their Hou Ye ~ Mu Qingen, and will not be loyal to a yellow-mouthed child who has never met before, even if this yellow-mouthed child is His Majesty.
"It's still the young master who is thoughtful, and the end will admire." Ouyang Dongqing smiled at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled.
Seeing this, the others also opened their mouths to praise Mu Qiuhuang.
"Brothers, don't praise the little brother like this, if you continue to praise like this, it will make the little brother a little helpless." Mu Qiuhuang thanked him.
Then he looked at Ouyang Dongqing again, and said with a smile: "I believe that Third Brother Ouyang already has a good idea, right?" ”
Mu Yang Dongqing was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Mu Qiuhuang, and when he saw Mu Qingen also looking at him with a smile, he smiled and said: "The young master is wise, and the last general will admire it." ”
This admiration is a little more sincere than just now. In fact, with Ouyang Dongqing's wisdom, he had already seen that the purpose of Mu Qingen at this meeting was to support Mu Qiuhuang, so he would cooperate with him...... It's just that what he didn't expect was that Mu Qiuhuang also saw this.
However, through this incident, he also has a new understanding of Mu Qiuhuang's intelligence. Thinking of this, Ouyang Dongqing stood up and said slowly: "There are three plans for son-in-law, which can be screened by the father-in-law. ”
As soon as Ouyang Dongqing's words came out, everyone looked sideways, in their opinion, this matter was nothing more than agreeing or not agreeing to Nan Zhaohou, how could they not expect that in this short period of time, Ouyang Dongqing had already come up with three strategies, and this wise strategy really lived up to the name of "Spirit Tiger".
"Oh, how do you say?" Mu Qingen asked.
Ouyang Dongqing pointed to the map on the desktop and said, "Erchen's first plan is to agree to Nan Zhaohou's proposal. Everyone, please see, now that Nan Zhao, Xi Lie and our words, our strength is the strongest in the world. If the three of us join forces to arrive at the imperial capital together, the victory rate is actually very large, and after successfully devouring the other five princes, we will be able to divide the world into three parts; And after three points of the world, the world is equally divided; Divide the world equally, and then enjoy the world exclusively. ”
"Yes, yes, this can be done, think about it except for me Beiyu, who is qualified to enjoy the world exclusively?" Qi Sanbao strongly agreed with Ouyang Dongqing's words.
Ouyang Dongqing smiled and continued: "It's just that there is still a great risk in this matter, after all, the time has not yet come, and it is not justified to send troops too early, and in the end, when it comes to the third of the world, there will be a stalemate again, and the length of this stalemate is not easy to estimate."
"Third child, what's your second plan?" Iron Madness asked.
"The second plan is what I just said, agree to the request of the Marquis of Nanzhao, and as for when to send troops, we can talk about it. It's just that this plan is afraid that it will be like what the young master said just now, as soon as our side agrees, Nan Zhaohou will make the news public, and the reputation of loyalty and righteousness that we have maintained for many years will collapse...... Besides, if we don't send troops to respond after agreeing to the Marquis of Nanzhao, I'm afraid our reputation will also be lost. Ouyang Dongqing said calmly.
"And what about your third plan?" Iron Madness continued to ask.
When Ouyang Dongqing heard this, his eyes flickered, and he said, "My third plan is to stay put."
"Still? What does this mean......" Ling Fox was puzzled.
"This ......" Ouyang Dongqing smiled slightly: "Let the young master explain this to you, right?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Mu Qiuhuang.
Mu Qiuhuang touched his nose when he saw this, he didn't know if Ouyang Dongqing's move was testing him, or was he simply expressing kindness to him?
Mu Qingen also smiled when he saw this, and said, "Huang'er, have you understood the third strategy that the third child said?" If you understand it, talk about it. ”
"Yes."
Mu Qiuhuang stood up and said, "Third Brother Ouyang should mean that he wants us to reject Nan Zhaohou directly, right?" In this way, we can save our strength and wait for the opportunity to act. Let the princes fight each other first, and when the war is stalemate, we will go out of Beiyu. ”
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Ouyang Dongqing nodded.
"However, if we don't enter the court, I'm afraid that the princes will take the lead in conquering us, right? After all, they are not stupid, how can they watch me Beiyu sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman? What's more, now that we have eliminated the troubles, and there is no excuse for the grassland......" Mu Qiuhuang also went on to raise his own questions.
"The young master doesn't have to worry about this, as long as we don't talk about it, there is no one to force us to do it." Ouyang Dongqing stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the location of Beiyu on the map, and Zhizhu said: "You see, my Beiyu is not as good as other places, our geographical location can be said to be the most unique, behind us is the grassland, and there is only one cloud dove in front of us...... Judging from the current situation, as long as the world is in chaos, the princes will have no time to take care of us, and if the Marquis of Yunjiu is smart enough, I am afraid that he will come to attach to me Beiyu in the first place?
And the father-in-law not only wanted to reject the Marquis of Nan Zhao, but also to scold him angrily when the Marquis of Nan Zhao raised his army, denouncing him for being disloyal and unjust...... This statement is not for the people of the world, but for His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital. I believe that no matter whether the little emperor believes it or not, he will inevitably regard my Beiyu Army as the last straw, after all, now Princess Changling still has a layer of identity as the little emperor's aunt. As soon as the little emperor Zhaoshu arrives, we can start a war with Yun Jiu in a clear and straightforward manner, as for how to fight this battle? When should it end? It's up to us......"
"Wonderful! In my opinion, the third child should not be called 'Linghu', but should be called 'Linghu'! Iron Crazy Cloud exclaimed.
"Iron Boss is right, you are more cunning than a fox." Ling Hu Ji followed.
"Not bad, not bad! Third Brother Ouyang is really resourceful. Mu Qiuhuang looked impressed, and then said: "In order to make the princes more convinced that Beiyu does not have the mind of 'praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind', I am ready to leave Beiyu in the near future and start traveling the rivers and lakes...... Put me, the dignified son of Beiyu, under their noses, as a hostage, and I believe they will be more at ease. ”
"How can this be? The safety of the young master should not be taken lightly. Qi Sanbao objected.
Ling Hujie also followed and said: "Yes! Young master, how can you put yourself in danger? ”
"It doesn't matter." Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly: "As long as my army of 300,000 tigers and wolves in Beiyu is still there, they don't dare to really touch me." ”
Mu Qingen glanced at everyone, stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then let's decide like this!" ”
Seeing that Mu Qingen had made up her mind on this matter, everyone stood up and prepared to listen to the order.
Mu Qingen said slowly: "The second brother will replenish the manpower you lost this time when you went to the grassland as soon as possible, I believe you should have captured a lot of war horses this time, right?" Expand them all into cavalry, and put them under your control. ”
"Yes, Father-in-law." Shen Tu responded.
"Tomorrow you will each return to your own territory, and it will be business as usual!"
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
