Shao Pingbo had put a lot of effort into Bei Zhou. He was not greedy for money, did not want to live a luxurious life, and did not like women. He put all his heart into governing Bei Zhou.
It was rare to see someone who could control his own desires like this.
To use his limited energy, to reduce the fetters, Shao Pingbo was even unmarried to this day.
Great Zen Mountain was not blind, they could see Shao Pingbo's hard work and hard work for Northern Prefecture.
Great Zen Mountain was worried that his body would collapse, so they sent people to help him take care of his body. They didn't stop using pills and medicines.
Not to mention how much benefits Shao Pingbo brought to Great Zen Mountain, just the internal and external situation that Bei Zhou was facing. If it was someone else, Huang Lie would really worry if they could stabilize the situation in Bei Zhou.
"Bei Zhou's military power is in the hands of the Shao father and son. If Shao Pingbo dies, the morale of the Bei Zhou army will be in chaos, and the people will be out of balance." Huang Lie hesitated and said.
Niu Youdao said lightly, "That is not a problem I need to consider."
Huang Lie was slightly angry. "Once Bei Zhou is in chaos, the Yan and Han will take the chance to invade. What will happen to Great Zen Mountain? What else is there to discuss? "
Niu Youdao said, "Great Zen Mountain has a good solution, what is there to worry about?"
Good solution? Huang Lie was slightly startled and asked, "Where is the good solution?"
Niu Youdao pointed at Huang Tong behind him. "Did you forget my good advice so quickly? It seems like good medicine tastes bitter, but good advice is unpleasant to the ear. "
Everyone looked at Huang Tong. Huang Lie also looked back and then at Niu Youdao. He hesitated and said, "You mean to retreat to Nan Zhou? How can Heavenly Jade Sect allow Great Zen Mountain to take advantage of Nan Zhou? "
Niu Youdao took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. He stood up with his sword and slowly walked away.
The surrounding people moved aside. Huang Lie couldn't help but stand up and lean against the railing.
Niu Youdao held his sword in front of him, his hands on the hilt. "The Northern Region is just a region, but it is sandwiched between two strong countries. It betrays Yan and Han, and is sitting on the fence. How can it last long? If anything happens, there will be a battle. A spark can start a prairie fire. I don't need to say this, Great Zen Mountain knows this. "
"Shao Pingbo's ambitions are not small, and his ambitions are not limited to the Northern State. The Northern State is only a temporary foothold for him, a place where he accumulates his strength. He has been making the best use of his time to accumulate his strength. Once the time was ripe, once there was a suitable target around him, he would definitely attack. Even if there wasn't an opportunity, he would create one. Could Great Zen Mountain have the power to control more land outside of a state? No! "
"To Shao Pingbo, the Northern Province is just a temporary place. To Shao Pingbo, Great Zen Mountain was just a temporary support. Just like Heavenly Jade Sect, Great Zen Mountain's foundation is weak. So like Heavenly Jade Sect's ambition to control Shang Chaozong, they are also trying to control Shao Pingbo. They want to wait until their strength increases. "
"Great Zen Mountain is still in the process of solidifying its foundation. If they want to expand, they need decades to accumulate power. But can Shao Pingbo wait decades for Great Zen Mountain? He can't wait. Once the time is ripe, does Great Zen Mountain think they can control Shao Pingbo? Wishful thinking! "
"You think that Shao Pingbo is obedient because he is afraid of Great Zen Mountain? He is just using them temporarily. With Northern State's current situation, he needs a sect that is not strong enough and is afraid of external pressure. To a certain extent, it can cooperate with him and give him time to accumulate power. If he chooses a sect that is too strong and suppresses him, he will have little room to display his power. Great Zen Mountain is the best choice. This is also the reason he chose Great Zen Mountain. "
"Sect Leader Huang, while it is good for Great Zen Mountain to sit on the fence, do you not know that you have no help? You have already fallen into Shao Pingbo's trap and are isolated by him. When the time is right, there is no one to speak for you. Shao Pingbo only needs to use some external power to break Great Zen Mountain's power. What can Great Zen Mountain do? To put it bluntly, from start to finish, Shao Pingbo never cared about Great Zen Mountain. Great Zen Mountain is just a chess piece in his grand plan. "
As he spoke, Niu Youdao turned around and looked at the people of Great Zen Mountain. "Everyone, I don't believe that you didn't notice Shao Pingbo's ambition to use Northern State to expand. Do you really think you can control Shao Pingbo at that time?"
Hearing such words, the people of Great Zen Mountain were silent and their hearts were heavy.
Guan Fangyi's eyes flashed and glanced at Niu Youdao. She muttered inside, this bad guy has a good mouth. Even an outsider like me who doesn't know the situation believes him. He clearly has bad intentions, but looking at the reactions of the people of Great Zen Mountain, they seem to believe him. If he has such persuasive abilities, why did he waste so much effort? He could have just talked earlier.
Niu Youdao: "So, just like my advice to Elder Huang, Northern State is a dangerous place for Great Zen Mountain. These are my words from the bottom of my heart."
Slowly, Huang Lie said, "Like I said to Elder Huang, how can Heavenly Jade Sect allow us to touch Southern State? Just your support is probably not enough, right? "
Niu Youdao held his sword with one hand and shrugged with the other. "What is there to fear about Heavenly Jade Sect? Aren't you negotiating with the three great sects of Yan Sect? Let me guess. The three great sects are definitely not willing to let Great Zen Mountain continue to control Northern State. Both sides will find it hard to compromise on this point. "
"If that's the case, why don't Great Zen Mountain compromise and please the three great sects? Give up Northern State and move to Southern State. This will be the condition for the three great sects to move Heavenly Jade Sect to Northern State. Although Heavenly Jade Sect controls Southern State, it is actually against Shang Chaozong. As long as Shang Chaozong's secular power is not in chaos, as long as Shang Chaozong stabilizes the situation in Southern State, Heavenly Jade Sect will not be able to threaten the three great sects. Under the three great sects' order, Heavenly Jade Sect will not dare to disobey and can only go there obediently! "
Niu Youdao looked back at Huang Lie and asked with a smile, "If Great Zen Mountain convinces the three great sects with this reason, I think the three great sects will have no reason to reject Great Zen Mountain's condition. Great things will be done in the blink of an eye!"
Huang Lie remained silent. His eyes flickered rapidly as he was rather tempted. He suddenly raised his head and said, "You have already told Elder Huang about this. In other words, this is a scheme that you have been plotting for a long time. You have already predicted that this day would come … This is all a scheme that you have set up, isn't it?"
Niu Youdao asked in reply, "Is this important?"
After hearing this, not only Huang Lie, but everyone from Great Zen Mountain was also shocked. At this moment, they finally understood why Shao Pingbo was so anxious to get rid of this person. This person was truly terrifying!
Huang Lie turned around and left. After calling out to a few elders, they left the pavilion and gathered in a corner to discuss.
Niu Youdao only cast a sidelong glance and didn't interfere. He knew that Huang Lie couldn't make a decision on such a big matter alone. He needed to discuss with the higher ups of Great Zen Mountain before making a decision.
Guan Fangyi moved closer to Niu Youdao and whispered, "You … you shouldn't have said those words to Huang Tong earlier. You shouldn't have told Huang Lie about the dragon's pool and the tiger's den. Now it seems like everything is within your calculations. You will only make them afraid."
Niu Youdao held his sword and sighed. "It is right to be afraid. I want them to be fearful so that they won't dare to act recklessly against me in the future. It isn't a long-term plan to continue with the Heavenly Jade School. Our rear is unstable and can be easily used by others. It will always be a hindrance. This time, I want to get rid of the Heavenly Jade School for South Prefecture. I also want to get rid of the hidden danger of internal discord for South Prefecture. As long as South Prefecture doesn't fall into chaos internally, I have nothing to worry about! The Heavenly Jade School and our side have a deep grudge that is hard to resolve. We have to get them out of South Prefecture. "
Guan Fangyi could vaguely hear the imposing manner in these words, but she remained silent. She sighed in her heart. It wasn't easy for him to be involved in this kind of matter at such a young age. He had painstakingly worked hard to get to where he was today. If it was someone else at this age, they wouldn't be able to endure this kind of situation. They would probably be crushed into pieces and wouldn't even know how they died.
The Great Zen Mountain returned after a round of discussion.
Huang Lie walked into the pavilion and spoke bluntly to Niu Youdao. "If the Heavenly Jade School leaves, then my Great Zen Mountain will go to South Prefecture. What difference is there between us and the Heavenly Jade School? Aren't you afraid that we will fight with you again like the Heavenly Jade School and become enemies? "
Niu Youdao said, "Sect Master Huang's words hit the nail on the head. If I force the Heavenly Jade School away, then why do I have to suffer the same fate as the Great Zen Mountain? I really don't want to do this. I don't have the backing of a large sect, and I don't have the power to control the South Prefecture. What benefit does it bring me if I force the Heavenly Jade School away? Taking a step back, I won't be able to oppose the Heavenly Jade School for a long time. This is a very simple reason. "
"But the Heavenly Jade School's brain is flooded with water. They actually couldn't stand Shao Pingbo's instigation. They won't let me go even after I leave South Prefecture. Is it fun to mess up South Prefecture? Since they don't see the bigger picture, then I can only oppose them with equal harshness. "
Huang Lie said, "Your influence over Shang Chaozong is too great. It's no different from causing the Heavenly Jade School to lose control of South Prefecture. Any other sect would have the same concerns and wouldn't just sit back and watch. Getting rid of you is inevitable." He also expressed his own thoughts. He wanted to know Niu Youdao's true intentions. He didn't want the Great Zen Mountain to become the second Heavenly Jade School and be chased out of South Prefecture.
Niu Youdao said, "What a joke! The Heavenly Jade School is too narrow-minded, and now it's my fault? Be it in Verdant Mountain County or the Southern Province, I didn't take any of the benefits. All the benefits were taken by the Heavenly Jade School. Is it wrong for me to work so hard and laboriously for a foothold in the Southern Province to protect myself? "
"To tell you the truth, just like Shao Pingbo, South Prefecture is too small. It can't contain Duke Yongping's ambitions. He'll point his sword at Swallow Court sooner or later. South Prefecture, heh heh, Duke Yongping won't care, and neither will I. If the Great Zen Mountain likes it, then just keep it. No one will fight you for it. The Heavenly Jade School is short-sighted and can't understand this. They only know how to suppress and control. It's inevitable that it will backfire. "
Huang Lie said, "According to what you said, Shang Chaozong is the same as Shao Pingbo. Is there a need for the Great Zen Mountain to run from North Prefecture to South Prefecture?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "The situation in South Prefecture and North Prefecture are different. Moreover, does the Great Zen Mountain have a choice?"
Huang Lie's face darkened.
