The war that took place in the city of Mamaia in the Moro country caused the four countries of the world to be disturbed, but only Nanping was able to stay alone.

In the Nanping Imperial Palace, Ying Shoushan stood respectfully under the throne. Song Yucheng, the lord of the country, carefully looked at the secret music that came, and his face showed a look of relief. Ying Shoushan's achievements in the past year have also made Song Yucheng wise, and he even crowned Ying Shoushan as the prince's teacher.

Song Yucheng put down the secret music, stood up and moved, and said softly, "Shoushan, the sun is shining today, and I am in a good mood, accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

"Obey the order!"

Ying Shoushan calmly agreed, but he maintained a very cautious attitude towards this kind of favor. Since sitting in a high position, Ying Shoushan has only understood how much pressure his mentor Mokun was under back then. And after he came to power, he changed the previous situation of confrontation between the military and the family. This point made Song Yucheng also impressed by the corresponding Shoushan.

In the Imperial Garden, Song Yucheng, the lord of Nanping, asked while pacing, "Shoushan, what do you think of the current situation in the world?" ”

Ying Shoushan bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the world is in turmoil, and I, Nanping, seem to stay out of the matter, but the minister doesn't think it's a good thing." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Song Yucheng stopped and looked at Ying Shoushan in surprise.

Ying Shou Shandao, "Your Majesty, the minister will have the courage to analyze it, and if there is anything wrong, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

Song Yucheng said with a smile, "Shoushan, compared to Mo Gong, what I like most is your humility. Back then, Mo Gong offended many colleagues because of his upright personality. In this regard, you are better than him. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to compare with his teacher. The minister is still young, and now he is loved by His Majesty, so it is necessary to be cautious. For the accusations of colleagues, if there is no change, then encouragement, this is also the original teacher to guard the mountain. ”

Song Yucheng smiled, "Guarding the mountain, in the face of the strong neighbors in the world, I don't dare to be confused." Don't worry, as long as Aiqing is dedicated to Nanping for me, I will take care of other things for you. Mo Gong chose you, and I am also very optimistic about you, hoping that I can become strong in the hands of you and my monarchs. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Nachen will have the courage to comment on the current situation."

"Well, but it doesn't hurt to say that."

Ying Shoushan nodded, "Your Majesty, the current battle in the Moro Kingdom seems to be outside of my southern level, but in fact, it is not, the minister is even more worried. ”

Song Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ying Shoushan with both hands behind his back. Ying Shoushan continued, "Your Majesty, that Duan Lang took the risk of crossing to Moro to personally supervise the battle, and it seems that this king of the Great Calendar Kingdom acted absurdly. However, the minister felt that Duan Lang was far-sighted and very ambitious. If he really just wanted to be angry for Beiming, he only needed to announce the matter of the alliance to the world, and Moro would definitely not dare to fight Beiming's idea again. But Duan Lang personally led his troops into Moro, and this approach was meaningful. ”

Song Yucheng nodded, "Well, Aiqing also analyzed it with me at the beginning, and I also felt that this Lang was aimed at Xiyue." But this is not a good thing for me in Nanping. ”

"Your Majesty's meaning is that in the short term, it is indeed beneficial to my Nanping. The war will not end in a moment, and it will take a year or even longer to see the real results. I, Nanping, can take advantage of this temporary calm to cultivate and recuperate and strengthen myself. But Your Majesty has analyzed, what will be the situation in the world after this war? ”

Song Yucheng looked at Ying Shoushan, did not answer, and asked rhetorically, "Then what kind of ending does Aiqing think will happen?" ”

Ying Shoushan clenched his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, the result of this battle is nothing more than three answers. First, the war left the four countries in a quagmire from which they could not extricate themselves, and in the end they had no choice but to sit down and negotiate. Second, Moro and Xiyue took advantage of reserve support to defeat the combined forces of Duan Lang and the Northern Ming, and forced Duan Lang and the Northern Ming to cede land and pay compensation. Third, Duan Lang's side completely won and became the overlord of the world. ”

Ying Shoushan paused slightly, and then said, "Of course, there is another ending, that is, Duan Lang's battle damage, which completely changed everything, but there is not much hope for this. Looking at Duan Lang's achievements over the years, his teacher's conclusion about him back then was that this person was like a wolf and a mouse. In the battle, he shot ruthlessly, like a wolf peeping at his food. On the other hand, it has the same alertness as a mountain mouse, and it immediately hides under the ground at the slightest disturbance, so that you can't find its traces. Therefore, if you want to kill Duan Lang, it is very difficult. What's more, there are also eighteen slashes in the past eighteen years, and in the face of thousands of troops, he can escort him in and out. ”

"Then Aiqing thinks what kind of ending will it be in the end?" Song Yucheng asked.

"Chen~ tends to the third type, Duan Lang's side completely wins."

"What, you're not optimistic about Lu Mu?" Song Yucheng looked at Ying Shoushan with interest, he always felt that Ying Shoushan and Lu Mu were sympathetic, but he didn't expect to be optimistic about him.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen gives an inappropriate example. It's like when Lu Mu fought against his teacher, and the minister felt that ~ the teacher might not be able to win. Because the teacher looks at the overall situation, but he is not as soft and vicious as Lu Mu. But Lu Mu's femininity is inferior to that of Tantai Mingyue. That woman is as careful as a hair, and her style of acting is Lu Mu's nemesis. The twin swords of Tantai Mingyue and Duan Lang were combined, and the minister didn't think that Lu Mu would be able to defeat them. ”

Song Yucheng nodded, he had personally reviewed the battle reports over the years, and he was extremely impressed by the bright moon of Tangtai and even Mo Kun. As Ying Shoushan said, Duan Lang's strong soldiers and the shrewdness of Tangtai Mingyue, Lu Mu is indeed weaker.

"Shoushan, even if Duan Lang wins, the final outcome is nothing more than sitting down and negotiating. Could it be that he could still completely destroy Moro and Xiyue? ”

"Your Majesty, the people of the Moro Kingdom have a strong temperament, and there is also hatred between Xiyue and the Great Calendar Kingdom, if Duan Lang really wants to completely destroy them, then the minister is relieved. It can be said that Duan Lang will definitely fall into the rebellion and revenge of Moro and the people of Western Vietnam in the future. With the shrewdness of the Ming Moon of the Tai, the minister felt that they would only submit, rather than completely classify the two countries into the territory of the Great Calendar. Once that ending happens, Duan Lang's inflated desire will never stop, and the next target must be my Nanping. At that time, Nanping was isolated and helpless, and it was difficult to compete with the powerful Dali Kingdom. ”

Song Yucheng's eyes narrowed, bringing out a hint of murderous aura, "Hmph, I'm not at the mercy of others." If you want me to bow my head in Nanping, it depends on whether I agree or not. ”

Ying Shoushan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty forgives me, but the minister is just worried." ”

"It's okay, let's talk about your response. Could it be that you still want me Nanping to join this war? Song Yucheng looked at Ying Shoushan with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is favorable to my Nanping, of course I can't get involved. However, we can make some changes to the tide of the game. It is even said that it is likely to change the outcome of the war. ”

"Oh? Does Aiqing have a good plan? ”

Ying Shoushan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, when the minister sent an envoy to the Great Calendar Kingdom, he saw the hidden dangers within the Great Calendar Kingdom. That Duan Lang was overconfident, but he forgot that people's desires are difficult to satisfy. At present, the Great Calendar Kingdom is almost controlled by Li Jianshan, which can be used. ”

"You mean~ anti-intriguing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister really thinks so."

Song Yucheng nodded and said, "Do you have a plan?" ”

"Your Majesty, I, 10,000 boys from Nanping, have been in the Great Calendar Country for nearly a year, and they have penetrated into all corners. Among them, there are many people who are recruited in the Great Calendar Country and have successfully entered the various departments of the court. The minister can order them to spread rumors among the government and the opposition, and I believe that it will not be long before these news reach Duan Lang's ears. ”

Song Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and said quite knowingly, "Yes, as an emperor, there is nothing more terrible than shaking the throne." There was a fire in the backyard of the front door war, and I'm afraid that Duan Lang has no intention of going on. ”

Even if Duan Lang resisted the fear of defeating Lu Mu, he would fall into another confrontation. Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the friendship between Li Jianshan and Duan Lang is deep, but if you want to say that he has no intention of seizing the throne, I am afraid that even the gods in the sky will not believe it. ”

"Well, if you have been in control of the power for a long time, you don't want to lose it. It is even said that they will want to control greater rights, which is the human heart. Guarding the mountain, your entry point is very accurate. Song Yucheng praised.

"If there is a rift between their monarchs and ministers, they can buy me Nanping at least three to five years. In addition, Zhang Qifeng's department has already left for Moro, and more than 300 of them are my elite sons and daughters in Nanping. These people have made great achievements on the battlefield, and when they return, they will surely become the backbone of the barracks. If Duan Lang really wants to start a war with me in Nanping, Nanping Erlang, who is hidden in the major camps of the Great Calendar Kingdom, will make Duan Lang regret it for the rest of his life. ”

"Very good, Aiqing, just let it go, I will support you."

"Your Majesty, in addition, there is one more thing that needs Your Majesty's approval."

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Song Yucheng was in a good mood, although Ying Shoushan's scheming shocked him, but this kind of scheming was a blessing for Nanping.

"The minister is going to make a secret visit to West Vietnam."

"To the West of Vietnam?" Song Yucheng was stunned.

"Yes, the minister must persuade Zhou Zhongde, the lord of Xiyue, to fight back against Duan Lang with the strength of the whole country. In addition, the minister also wanted to use the sea to fund 30 ships of grain and grass in Xiyue, showing His Majesty's support for Xiyue. ”

Song Yucheng frowned slightly, thirty boats of grain and grass were not a small number, and he was also a little distressed. But Song Yucheng is not a decadent person, and quickly figured out the mystery of this.

Song Yucheng nodded, "I, I agreed." Hit it, let them fight as hard as possible. If thirty boats of grain and grass can be exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Great Calendar Kingdom, I am willing to give it. ”

Ying Shoushan bowed down again to thank him, and the two monarchs and ministers worked out two poisonous plans in the imperial garden. Especially for the counter-intrigue between Duan Lang and Li Jianshan, its viciousness is no less than launching a war.

At this moment, in the territory of Moro, soldiers and horses from all over the country are gathering to the capital of the country, Yaks. Hearing the news that the Northern Ming Dynasty had sent the capital army to the city of Temila, Vupor Khan's heart was like a worse situation. Since the establishment of the Moro Kingdom, this is the first time that it has faced the invasion of Northern Ming soldiers and horses. Furious, Vupor Khan announced to the capitals of Moro that he would mobilize the power of the whole country against the Northern Ming.

The whole of Moro became turbulent, and the opposing camps in Mamaia City fell into a strange calm. Duan Lang did not take the initiative to attack, and Long Mu even shrank his head and waited for the arrival of rescue. And Lu Mu's side, although he had the intention to challenge, but without the cooperation of the Moro army, Lu Mu did not dare to fight alone.

In Duan Lang's camp, everyone knew that this short period of tranquility was not easy to come by, and they used this time to redistribute the strength of each battalion. Don't look at these people as veterans, but they also need to run in after re-belonging. Fortunately, they were all accustomed to this kind of divided and combined war life, and quickly adapted to their new position.

Da Fei has been running between the capital and Mamaiya City these days, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue are also analyzing the news they have just received.

Duan Lang looked at Yutai Mingyue and said, "Yue'er, according to the latest news, General Qi Ke in the capital city is marching very slowly, and after arriving at Taimila City, he has not moved forward. ”

Tantai Mingyue smiled bitterly, "As expected, Brother Molly also has to take into account the gains and losses of the entire Beiming." ”

Duan Lang sighed, "It seems that after Brother Mo Li learned that Xiyue had joined, he was worried that we wouldn't be able to control the situation. ”

"It's nothing, as long as the Northern Ming army suppresses and contains Wupol Khan, Long Mu and Lu Mu will be wiped out by us sooner or later."

"Yue'er, there is another piece of good news, Zhang Qifeng has led his troops to Moro. I believe that in a month or so, his soldiers and horses will arrive. Jianshan is worried that our troops are insufficient, and this is a decision they made after deliberation. ”

Yutai Mingyue was stunned, "Lang, soldier and horse scheduling, this is only the authority that you and I can use." Although Brother Jianshan is well-intentioned, we don't need domestic assistance yet. If reinforcements are really needed, of course Da Fei will be asked to go back with the warrant. This kind of precedent is best not to start. ”

"Well, in this special case, it is estimated that they have not received our news, and they are also worried. Don't worry, it's not an example. Duan Lang said with a smile.

Tantai Mingyue thought for a while, "That's fine, since Zhang Qifeng's department is coming here, we don't have to be too proud of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Ming Dynasty." With the participation of Lu Mu in West Vietnam, many things have changed, and it is time for reinforcements. Lang, don't launch a big battle for the time being during this time, and wait and see the movements of the soldiers and horses of the Moro Kingdom first. In addition, West Vietnam should also pay attention to the domestic situation, and it is necessary to control the movement of troops and horses in West Vietnam. ”

"Okay, I'll ask Da Fei to inform the secret station in the capital, and wait and see the whole situation before formulating an action plan."

Duan Lang knew the importance of intelligence, and relying on scouts alone, he could only radiate within thirty miles of the surrounding area at most. But as the commander of the army, and the emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom, he must control the movements of the world at all times. What's more, on the chess game of the Moro Kingdom, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue have already made a move, and it depends on how Vupor Khan will deal with it next. If Vupor Khan had not mobilized the Chalcinke subordinate to support Long Mu, then Duan Lang would have focused on the city of Mamaia and completely wiped out Moro and Lu Musuo. Once Charchink came to support, according to the predetermined plan, the main battle direction was to change to the capital of Moro.

Just as Duan Lang was discussing with Yutai Mingyue, a guard walked in quickly.

"Qi Yu Duan Shuai, the scout battalion in front has reported that it is in the direction of Mamaia City and has captured a senior member of the Moro Kingdom."

Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue were stunned, and Duan Lang asked, "Big, what kind of biggest?" ”

"The scout said that the other party wanted to meet Duan Shuai, and he said that his name was Hu Tu and he was the minister of the Moro Kingdom."

Duan Lang is not very familiar with the internal situation of Moro, but as the princess of Beiming, Tangtai Mingyue is very familiar with the Moro court. As soon as she heard this name, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hutu? No way, how could he come to the city of Mamaia. Quickly, send an order to Gu Fan, and immediately take five hundred forbidden troops to pick up this person. Remember, be safe and don't be rude. ”

Duan Lang looked at Tantai Mingyue strangely, not understanding why she was so excited.

"Yue'er, is this person very powerful?"

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang, with a strange smile on her face, "Lang, if it's really Hu Tu, then this person is too important." Hutu was the High Priestess of Moro and a man who could change the tide of war. It seems that our goal will be accomplished ahead of schedule. ”

"High Priest of the Moro Kingdom?"

Duan Lang was a little surprised, although he was not familiar with Hutu, he had also heard of the position of the high priest of the Moro Kingdom. Before sending troops, Duan Lang knew about the national situation of Moro, and he knew that the high priest of Moro was the same as Zhang Ruming. However, it is not as powerful as Zhang Ruming, it is just a fictitious position. Duan Lang didn't understand why Lantai Mingyue attached so much importance to this high priest, and actually listed him as a person who could change the tide of the battle.

On the official road from the city of Mamaia, the high priest Hutu had a depressed face. Originally, he would go to Mamaiya City first, and then send someone to contact Duan Lang. But he didn't expect that before he arrived in Mamaiya City, he was actually captured. The fifty shadowman scouts he brought with him to face Duan Lang were no match for others at all.

High Priest Hu Tu sighed secretly, he felt that this might be the will of heaven, since he had become a prisoner, he would take this opportunity to have a showdown with Duan Lang first. The chips in Hutu's hands are also the capital to save his life.
