After leaving the military tent, Shen Du sent someone to write a letter to the White Lotus Sect.

When they were separated, they both left behind a means of transmitting messages.

In this Nan'an City, there is a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, which is used for communication.

The Qianguo is rich, and even these demonic sects will establish strongholds all over the Qianguo.

Half of the reason why Dayan's martial arts are prosperous is because of Dayan's martial arts.

Even if they are a few years old, what they have been thinking about since childhood is not to study, but to practice martial arts, go into battle to kill the enemy, and drive out the Northern Barbarians.

Generations of old people have passed it on orally, even if they don't have to teach it deliberately, they continue to influence the people of Dayan.

It's just that compared with the richness of Qianguo, it is still much worse.

Sufficient and abundant resources have also created many martial arts masters in Qianguo.

In the tent,

With Shen Du's arrival, a group of high-level officials from the six doors stood up and saluted in unison.

In addition to Shen Du's henchmen, these people also have many headhunters from the Six Doors Headquarters.

"Your Excellency!"

"Sit down."

Shen Du said casually, then walked up to the first seat, looked at Liang Ying, and asked, "Gather soldiers and horses in eight days, and send troops to Shaolin!" ”

"In addition, inform Cihang Jianzhai and let them be sent to Nan'an City within ten days to bear the guilt, and those who don't come will bear the consequences!"

Everyone looked shocked.

Soldier Shaolin?

Although the banner played by Dayan when he went south to Qianguo this time was to conquer Shaolin, no one really took this matter to heart.

Dayan's hundreds of thousands of troops did not really come to conquer Shaolin, so the gains outweighed the losses.

Shaolin has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are tens of thousands of monks, and they are by no means general.

In particular, these Shaolin monks all have martial arts, which are far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Although several Dharma elephant powerhouses have been damaged one after another, Shaolin's heritage cannot be underestimated, and no one dares to guarantee how many strong people there will be in its temple.

At this critical moment, how many Lin suddenly made a move, which was completely unexpected by them.

Shen Du took in everyone's expressions, and naturally knew what they were thinking.

But he didn't mean to explain much.

If Shaolin is not eliminated now, and then they really stand with Qianguo, then it will be the real trouble.

Surprise is the only way to win.

Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, this chicken naturally has to have a little weight.

Everyone thinks that Dayan will not do anything to Shaolin at the moment, he just wants to do the opposite.

Shen Du took a sip of the tea on the table, and said lightly: "In addition, send someone to the next invitation." ”

"Let's just say that this official invites all the martial arts factions and nobles of the three provinces and eight prefectures, and invites them to come to Nan'an City for a banquet."

"I hope they can give this official this face!"

Since Qianguo is rich, it is natural to squeeze something out of them.

There are some things that Nantian is not easy to do, but he doesn't care.

Everyone looked at each other and got up one after another.

Although they didn't understand Shen Du's thoughts, they would firmly carry out Shen Du's orders.

……

Moyang City,

This place is one of the important military towns of the Qianguo and an important hub of the Qian's defense line today.

There are 200,000 troops stationed here, but only 50,000 of them are really capable of fighting.

The other 50,000 were local soldiers and horses drawn from all over the country, and the other 100,000 were newly recruited recruits.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Although there is a serious shortage of soldiers and horses in Qianguo, after all, the family has a big business, and under the high military salary, many people still enthusiastically sign up.

There was a light rain in the sky.

It rains a lot in dry land, especially in the hinterland of the dry country.

A few newly recruited soldiers gathered together and chatted casually.

"Damn, when is this day going to be the head."

"Lao Tzu regrets it, the conscription officer on that dog day is all nonsense, what Yan people are vulnerable."

They will never forget the scene of the previous day.

Those swallow people were like crazy, and their eyes were eager to swallow them, as if their lives were not their own.

Fortunately, these recruits were only moving stones in the rear, otherwise they would have been really scared.

"Ugh."

"I hope this group of swallow dogs can retreat."

"But I've heard that the Yan people are good to the people who occupy the city."

"And the Yan people are fair, much better than our officials."

"Shut up!"

As soon as these words came out, the veteran soldiers on the side immediately scolded and scolded angrily: "Don't forget, you are a dry man." ”

The person who spoke rolled his eyes and said indifferently: "Yan Ren, what does it matter if you are a dry person." ”

"What does this country's surname Zhao or Xia's relationship have to do with us."

"I heard that today's official family is a mediocre person, and if he listens to slander, if he can't resist it, he won't let the master come."

As a few people were talking, they didn't notice the extra figure behind them.

One person's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly saluted: "Handsome! ”

The person who came was dressed in silver-white delicate armor, and looked to be in his forties, but the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he was already full of white hair.

This person is the commander of the Western Army, the only person in the Qianguo who can be regarded as a famous general.

It's a pity that the literati of the Qianguo State are in charge, and the military generals don't have much say in the court.

He held the helmet in his arms and listened to the discussion of several people, but he did not show any dissatisfied expression, but nodded calmly.

stepped forward, straightened the armor for one person, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's hard work." ”

A simple sentence flattered everyone.

"Phase...... Xianggong ......"

Shi Youdao smiled softly, didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

He knows that there are many similar remarks in the army today,

One person said that he could still deal with it by military law, but so many people, should they all be dealt with by military law?

Shi Youdao found a secluded place, stood on the city wall and quietly looked at the continuous military tents in the distance.

"Father!"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a young general in silver armor strode forward.

"Leave it to me to patrol the city, why do you want to come in person."

The person who came was the youngest son of the teacher, Shi Xueqing.

Of the three sons of the Shi family, one son died in battle, and the second son is now stationed in the west.

"I'm afraid that if I don't watch it again, I won't have a chance."

Shi Youdao smiled with emotion.

Shi Xueqing frowned, puzzled: "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”

"We are defending the city, how can the Yan people come in."

Shi Youdao turned his head to look at his little son, shook his head and smiled: "War is never sure to win. ”

"Yanren, it's far stronger than you think."

"That Grand Governor rose to prominence, and I have heard of his fame."

"It's not difficult for a person like him to break the city, it's just that he doesn't want to do it to me."

He has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and it is not that he does not understand the methods in the officialdom, but he has never been too lazy to flatter and disdain it.

He is investigating Xiang Nantian, and Xiang Nantian will naturally investigate him.

"Qing'er, if you can't do anything, you will lead the western army to evacuate here, if you can stick to the western land, my big cadre can still have a glimmer of life."

"I'm not leaving!"

Shi Xueqing said coldly: "A soldier should die on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud, this is what your father told me, and I will not leave." ”

"My master's bloodline is inherited by my second brother."

"And father, are you worrying too much?"

"The Yan people have attacked several times, but they have failed, and if they want to break through this city, they must at least double the number of troops."

"As far as I know, they don't have enough troops at the moment."

"Alas!"

Shi Youdao laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly: "It's never Yan Jun that I'm worried about. ”

"That's ......"

Shi Youdao continued: "Emperor Taizu was in a yellow robe and laid the foundation of the Qianguo for hundreds of years, and now his father has an army of 600,000 people, and it has been a long time, what will the official family think? ”

"After all, not everyone is the Yan Emperor."

To be honest, he was quite envious of Xiang Nantian.

He is familiar with military books, and he can naturally think of things that Xiang Nantian can think of.

In the past few days, the Yan army's offensive has been suspended, and he has already guessed it.

But the sad thing is that even if he knows the other party's plan, he can't do anything about it.

Shi Xueqing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became gloomy, and said coldly: "It's only hateful that the traitors in the DPRK and China are in charge now." ”

Shi Youdao looked at the continuous military tents outside the city and didn't say much.

Perhaps......

Shi Xueqing said in a deep voice: "Father, do you want to ask Taiwei He to come forward?" ”

Shi Youdao shook his head and said calmly: "I don't understand. ”

"It's useless."

"Even if you don't have the heart to rebel, as long as you have the ability to rebel, this is a sin!"

can only hate and kill thieves, and have no power to return to heaven!

Shi Youdao retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Order the whole army, prepare for battle." ”

He didn't have a choice.

In this battle, I don't know how many of these 600,000 troops will survive.

Take the infantry to fight the elite iron cavalry of the Yan people, and only those stupid literati can do this.

What order will come from Bianjing's side, he has already guessed one or two.

……

In Bianjing,

Night fell, but the lights in Bianjing City were still bright.

The streets are full of pedestrians.

This is the Qianguo Bianjing City, which is called the most prosperous city in the world by countless literati and writers.

In the mouths of the common people, it is a place of gold.

A huge mansion with four entrances and four corners is located in the most prosperous area of Bianjing City.

This place is the residence of Gao Taiwei.

In the back house, Gao Mou sat on a chair and looked at several strangers who broke into the hall, his face ugly.

There were dozens of corpses outside the courtyard, all of them were the masters of the Taiwei Mansion, and among them was the existence of the Yuan Shen Realm.

"Guys, what do you mean by coming here late at night?"

"If you want money, why don't you say a number?"

"Haha!"

"Captain Gao is really a bold person."

On the Taishi chair at the bottom right, there is a white-clothed figure covered with a ghost mask.

"But I didn't come today to get rich."

"I came here today to make friends with Captain Gao."

"Making friends?"

As soon as he heard this, Gao Mou immediately put his mind at ease, calmly sat on the chair, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Smack!"

On top of the table, suddenly there was an extra letter.

"This is a letter from Shi Youdao and Dayan in collusion."

"The Yan people promised the position of the prince of the country, and they were more willing to give him ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and take the four prefectures of dry land as his food place."

"What?!"

Gao Mou exclaimed, looking surprised, grabbed the letter on the table, opened it and flipped through it.

The letter is not fake, it is stamped with Xiang Nantian's coach's seal.

"This ......"

Gao Mou looked shocked, stared at the letter tightly, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this? ”

"Huh!"

"Since you want to make friends with Captain Gao, you naturally have to show enough sincerity."

"If Gao Taiwei doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check whether the Yan people have sent a letter to the teacher."

The letter of surrender was naturally true, but Shi Youdao did not agree.

It's just that once the seeds of doubt are planted, it doesn't matter whether Shi Youdao really agrees or not.

"Traitor!"

"It's really a waste of the trust of the officials!"

Gao Mou suddenly scolded angrily, with an indignant face.

He actually had doubts about this letter in his heart, but he had long had the intention of suppressing Shi Youdao.

If this battle is really won by him, then Shi Youdao's prestige in the court will skyrocket, and they will only be the ones who will lose.

Now this letter is exactly what he wants.

So even if he had doubts, he didn't care.

He has sent envoys to Western Chu and Eastern Qi, as long as the three parties work together, then the Yan State will have to retreat.

At that time, he can come forward and negotiate peace with Yan Guo.

At that time, he was the hero of Qianguo.

"What do you want?"

Gao Mou sneered: "Or, who are you?" ”

"Don't worry about Captain Gao."

"We only have a small appeal, I just hope that after this incident, Captain Gao can turn around for us, so that we can preach in the dry land."

"Missionary?" Gao Mou's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said coldly: "You are from the White Lotus Sect? ”

Although he is in the court, he is not completely ignorant of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

There is still Buddhism in the Qianguo, and only Buddhism can truly preach in the Qiandi.

If we talk about preaching, there is only the White Lotus Sect, or...... Maitreya.

It's just that it's obviously impossible on the side of Maitreya.

The white-clothed figure smiled but did not answer.

"Impossible!"

Gao Mou decisively shook his head and refused: "I can't do this." ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Bai Wushan's eyes.

This person is really insatiable, and he doesn't recognize people when he turns his face after taking benefits.

Who doesn't know that today's officials are extremely favored and resourceful.

If this Gao Taiwei really has the heart to do this, he can't do it.

However, he didn't expect this to happen, just to make it more credible.

What's more, it's not a good thing to really go to the surface.

Gao Mou also seemed to realize that what he said was too arbitrary, and his tone was a little gentler, and he said in a deep voice: "You also know that now Buddhism is in charge. ”

"The official family believes in Buddhism, even if I am willing, but Buddhism will not agree."

"But this official is within the scope of his ability, and he can give you some convenience."

"Of course, if you need money, the official can also help it."

He had naturally heard of the name of the White Lotus Sect, and if he could reach a cooperation with the White Lotus Sect, he might be able to use it one day.

Bai Wushan got up and smiled, "Then thank you Captain Gao." ”

"Farewell!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Wushan's figure turned into a burst of white mist and disappeared in place.

Gao Mou looked at the letter on the table, did not hesitate, rushed out of the courtyard quickly, and shouted: "Prepare the horse!" ”

"I want to enter the palace to meet the official!"

A horse-drawn carriage quickly drove out of the Taiwei's Mansion and into the palace.

In the Imperial Garden,

Zhao Yan looked at Gao Mou, who hurriedly entered the palace to meet him, and frowned: "Gao Taiwei entered the palace late at night, what happened?" ”

"Official!"

Gao Mou saluted and said loudly: "The minister's people intercepted a letter. ”

"The border is in danger!"

"Bold!"

"Gao Mou, do you know what you're talking about?"

Zhao Yan was immediately furious.

"Official, please take a look." Gao Mou took out the secret letter and held it high, and said, "This is the secret letter that Yan Ren gave to Shi Youdao. ”

"It is clearly written that I am willing to give the teacher the position of the Duke of the Dao Country, and the father will succeed the son, and I will choose the four mansions of my Qianguo as its fief."

What the position of the Duke of the Kingdom represents in Yan Kingdom, no one is unclear.

Since the founding of Dayan, there have only been five crowned princes.

Not to mention the return of its fiefdom, which is the highest honor.

If Qianguo wants to give a status that matches it, the only way to do it is to be crowned king.

Zhao Yan motioned to the eunuch on the side to take the letter, and then took it and swept it over, his face suddenly gloomy.

"Yan people are despicable!"

"Official!"

Gao Mou said loudly: "The plan now is to find out as soon as possible whether Shi Youdao has agreed to this matter." ”

"Official, he has an army of 600,000 in his hands."

"If he turns against him, who will be able to resist when the time comes?"

Zhao Yan's face changed suddenly.

This sentence can be said to have pierced his heart.

No one knows better than him how the country of Qianguo came about.

The ancestors of their Zhao family can be covered in yellow robes, so can others.

In the Qianguo, the so-called emperor has long lost its mystique.

In the minds of many people, the so-called emperor is actually no different from a roadside vegetable seller, as long as you have this ability, you can do it, not like other countries, "under the orders of heaven".

Zhao Yan hesitated: "But because of a letter, I doubt whether the general of the army will shake the morale of the army." ”

"Maybe it's a conspiracy."

Zhao Yan is not completely mediocre, in the end, he also has a little bit of his own wisdom, but not much.

In other words, all he thinks about is his own throne.

As for how many people died and how many cities were lost, he didn't care too much, at least compared to his throne.

Gao Mou smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that the official family was already suspicious.

"Official!"

Gao Mou arched his hand and said: "You can send people to supervise the army, go to the front-line army, supervise the military, and at the same time order the division Youdao to recover the lost territory within ten days." ”

"In this way, it can also be verified whether this matter is true, and if there is a prison army in the army, he can also withdraw his rights at any time."

"If he really recovers the lost land, then we have wronged him, and the official family can give him some more rewards at that time."

"On the contrary, if he has a ghost in his heart, he will inevitably resist this matter."

"For the sake of safety, Wei Chen suggested sending people to the West and sending people to secretly keep an eye on the Shifu as a hostage."

Gao Mou sneered in his heart.

As long as he is sent to supervise the army, even if Shi Youdao really wins, half of the credit will be his.

But if the teacher has the opposite way, then he will also be a great achievement.

No matter how you calculate it, he will only be the one who will benefit in the end.

Zhao Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Intention!" ”

"Dispatch the privy deputy envoy Wang Yuan to supervise the army, and order the division Youdao to recover the lost territory within eight days, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

The eunuch on the side bowed down.

……

Time passed quietly.

It's been four days in the blink of an eye.

Nan'an City has been a bit lively these days.

Dozens of luxurious carriages came from outside the city, and many dignitaries from the Qianguo country poured into Nan'an City.

These are all famous families of the Qianguo, literati families, and some people have come from thousands of miles away, and they have never had a break on the road.

They came here because of an invitation.

An invitation from Dayan Shencau, Shen Du!
