Chapter 670: Compromise
Wuwei Daoist would not have been threatened by this Cui Shan, but when he thought about it carefully, this person was full of his own handles, if he was unwilling to listen to his will and help him go to intercede with the Khitan Emperor, the things he revealed might make his death even worse.
"Daochang Sun, have you thought about it? You came here today and ate a lot of wine and meat at our Tianyi Inn. Isn't it true that you Taoists have always advocated not drinking alcohol and eating meat? Is it considered a breaking vow for a person like you to eat so many things so blatantly? The most important thing is that you face these Khitan thieves who are not successful, claiming to have boundless mana, and they are so scared that they pee their pants, if this matter reaches the ears of the Khitan Emperor, what do you think about you, will you think that you are a charlatan, and in a fit of anger, you want to move your head! Thinking about it, I feel a pain in my neck for the Taoist! Cui Shan touched his neck and scared Wuwei Daodao.
Wuwei Taoist people complained in their hearts, and he thought that it would be difficult to relax today, so the palm thunder that he often brought with him was placed in the Taoist temple and not taken out. I thought there was no big deal, but when I met these Khitan thieves, I thought of the necessity of defending myself with palm thunder. If he had used palm thunder to scare away those thieves at that time, there wouldn't have been so many things later. The excuse for drinking wine and eating meat can still be found, let's just say that people who really cultivate the Dao Law don't care about what they eat, but the mana that they originally boasted about can't even deal with a few Khitan thieves now, what excuse can they make.
So in the end, Wuwei Daoist still sighed and compromised: "Alas, okay, I also have a hot brain today, how could I think that a person would come to wander on this unfamiliar Khitan Street, it is really too inflated." ”
"If you don't come, how can you meet us, how can we cooperate well, right?" Cui Shan said to Wuwei Daoist with a smile.
"Please don't smile at me, I'm so hairy from your laughter. I can promise to help you talk about this, but I am not completely sure that I will be able to persuade the Khitan Emperor to send troops north of Henan. You are so calculating, but teach me how to talk about it to the Khitan Emperor. "It's hard to do nothing.
"Daoist, you are really too humble, judging from the attitude of the Khitan Emperor I saw on the top of the main hall yesterday towards you, even if you say that you want to personally bring troops to the north of Henan, I think he can listen to you. But if you feel that you are not sure of saying it so clearly, I can recommend you a good method, you can tell him to help Xiang Yu prevent the Flying Tiger Army rushing out of Henan, not only to help Xiang Yu, but also to help himself. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"You can first praise the Khitan Emperor and let his self-confidence swell, and then say that even if the Khitan soldiers can sweep away the Flying Tiger Army that entered the Khitan without blowing their strength, but after all, they are all outlaws, and they are not allowed to attack the people on the Khitan border, the people are innocent, if they are accidentally injured by the Flying Tiger Army at that time, in the end they will have to complain that the emperor did not protect them well, causing disunity in the country, then there is no need for this. And sending troops to the border north of Henan is not a trivial matter for the Khitan Emperor, so why bother whether he is helping Xiang Yu or having to do profitable things, anyway, the war is handed over to the soldiers, and the Khitan soldiers only need to be responsible for playing a deterrent role there. ”
"Is deterrence enough? No need to fight? ”
"No, the Flying Tiger Army in Henan City has been a grasshopper after the autumn for a long time, they are just struggling with the last glimmer of hope, as long as our King Xiang attacks Henan City with all his might, it will be broken in a few days. Coupled with the deterrence of the Khitan Emperor in the north, they have no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death, and in the end they will only be annihilated by all of us. At that time, although King Xiang of Henan will have no way to give him this land, King Xiang will definitely promise to directly transport exquisite grain and grass from Henan to the Khitan every year for the use of the Khitan royal family. The Khitan is a country on horseback, and it has no food, so it often comes to Southern Chu to plunder, if he promises a sufficient amount of grain and grass, he will definitely agree to help this little favor, Dao Chief, do you think it is feasible to say this? ”
Cui Shan's series of ideas can be described as quite meticulous, and Wuwei Taoists admire them very much. It took him several nights to come up with it, specifically to convince the Khitan Emperor. It's a pity that the Khitan Emperor let him go without even giving him a chance to speak, so now he can only convey a matter to the Khitan Emperor through the mouth of Wuwei Taoist.
"What you said is quite reasonable, I'll try it, but what if the Khitan Emperor still doesn't agree? I don't know how to help you? "It's hard to do nothing.
"No, if the Khitan Emperor is still unwilling to help us send troops to the north and south borders of the river after you really say this, then I won't blame you."
"Then will you tell the Emperor what I did today?"
"No, but the premise is that Dao Chief, you must do your best to say this matter to our Nan Chu, and you can't treat it sloppily."
"I know this, I am also a native of Southern Chu, if I can plead for it, I will definitely fight to say it. In the end, it depends on whether the Khitan Emperor rewards this face. Wuwei Daoist said uncertainly in his heart.
"It would be great if the Dao Commander could recognize this, we are all Southern Chu people, and I still remember that when I was a small soldier, I was fortunate to see the Dao Chief, as the protector of Southern Chu, following Emperor Xuanhe, who was not dead at that time. At that time, I also admired the Taoist very much, and I thought that the Taoist was really amazing, and he was really a god. Cui Shan saw that Wuwei Taoist agreed to this matter, and did not forget to praise him.
Wuwei Daoren shook his head with a wry smile, "Are you disappointed now that you see the real me?" I also did these deceptive things to make ends meet, but I promise that I am just a liar, and I have never harmed anyone. ”
"I know this, so I worship the Taoist even more, although you are just a general deception, but the emperors of the two countries have been stunned by you, which really makes me admire it very much, you can also teach me the mystery of this when you have time, and I am good enough to show it in front of King Xiang." Cui Shan said.
"Hehe, I also learned these things from my master before, if you want to learn it, Master Cui, I will go back and take my treasured deception scripture, which contains all kinds of deception techniques and cracking methods. But today, I was deceived by you, and you know the mystery better than I do. ”
"Hahaha......"
