Situ Yao was silent, pondering over his words.
Li Wuhua was moved. He looked at the sect leader and wanted to say something. Seeing that the sect leader did not express his opinion, he could not help but plead, "What he said makes sense. This way, there will be a glimmer of hope to save the mother and son. Sect leader, just do as he says, I beg you! "
Situ Yao raised his eyes and scolded, "Fool!"
"Sect Leader, for the sake of the relationship between us, we are brothers …"
"You're still talking? Guards! " Situ Yao shouted, and a few people immediately came over. He pointed at Li Wuhua and said, "Take him away and watch him. Don't let him out without my permission!"
"Senior Brother!" Li Wuhua was taken aback. Before he could say anything, he had already been subdued by the people behind him. He was dragged away by two people on the spot.
Niu Youdao frowned and watched from the side.
Situ Yao watched with a black face. He was very angry.
It was not that he objected to Niu Youdao's opinion, but he was angered by Li Wuhua's attitude. He found that Li Wuhua had become muddle-headed. His personal feelings were more important than the interests of the sect. He was talking nonsense. Was it right to speak like that? Were there things that could be said in front of everyone? Some things could be done but not said.
Even if the news was to be made public, even if the Gold Province was in chaos, it was for the interests of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion. It was not to save his wife and son, nor was it because of our brotherhood!
Once things were messed up because of this decision, wouldn't he, the sect leader, have to take responsibility?
Losing the Gold Province because of personal reasons, could he, the sect leader, bear such a huge responsibility? There was no other choice but to take the blame and abdicate!
There was no decision made because of personal feelings. All the decisions made now were for the sake of the sect, without any personal feelings!
He was full of nonsense. His brain was simply flooded with water!
He did not dare to let Li Wuhua's current emotional state out. Otherwise, once he could not hold it in, he did not know what would happen. He had to control it first.
At this moment, an elder came out and reported, "Sect leader, the situation is not good. We have never seen such symptoms, so we don't know where to start. At this rate, even if we do our best to delay, I'm afraid the Eldest Princess won't be able to hold on for a month. I can at most last ten days. "
Niu Youdao's fingers on the hilt of his sword moved slightly. This was similar to what he had heard from Li Wuhua.
Situ Yao calmed down and thought about it from Niu Youdao's standpoint. He confirmed that Niu Youdao wouldn't harm this side, and Niu Youdao wouldn't want anything to happen to Jinzhou. Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous to Nanzhou.
After coming to this conclusion, he made his final decision. He said to the elder beside him, "Brother Niu's words make sense. We can't be led by the nose by the imperial court. We must disrupt the imperial court's rhythm and take a step back in order to advance. We must first expose the internal instability and buy time for ourselves to unite internally. Immediately send a message to all the major trading sites. Do as Brother Niu says. Do it immediately and don't delay! "
They indeed couldn't delay any longer. Hai Ruyue's body couldn't be delayed for too long. After the news spread here, they didn't know if the Ghost Doctor would hear it. Even if she did, they didn't know where she was or how long it would take for her to arrive.
Niu Youdao's intention of advancing at the same time was precisely this. They had to make use of time.
"Yes!" An elder accepted the order and left.
The matter had been arranged. Whether or not they could find the Ghost Doctor was up to fate. However, they still had to fight for what they could. Situ Yao relaxed his expression and said to Niu Youdao, "Since our two sides are in an alliance, if Jinzhou is in trouble, I believe that Nanzhou will not sit idly by and do nothing, right?"
Niu Youdao, "Aren't I here?"
Situ Yao shook his head, "The battle between the armies covers the mountains and plains like a surging flood. Can you shatter the heavens and split the earth, or can you topple the mountains and overturn the seas? This isn't something you can stop just by coming. What I mean is, how many people can Nanzhou mobilize to help me? "
Niu Youdao didn't answer the question and suddenly threw out a sentence, "Shang Jianxiong wants to make a move against Nanzhou!"
The higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor were slightly shocked. Didn't this mean that Nanzhou couldn't even fend for themselves and couldn't mobilize any reinforcements?
Situ Yao's reaction wasn't slow. He realized something and narrowed his eyes, "You mean that Hai Wuji making a move against Jinzhou, and Shang Jianxiong making a move against Nanzhou, both sides planned to work together?"
Niu Youdao nodded. "It's most likely so. At first, I only thought that Shang Jianxiong wanted to make a move against Nanzhou. My purpose of coming here was to discuss the matter of borrowing troops just in case. Once the situation reached a point where we had to fight head on, I hoped that your side could mobilize troops to help. Who would have thought that we would encounter such a matter. "
"The troubles that Nanzhou and Jinzhou encountered shouldn't be isolated. The timing is too coincidental. Shang Jianxiong and Hai Wuji must have secretly communicated with each other, making it impossible for us to work together. At the same time, they can save themselves some trouble and get what they need. Sect Master Situ, you and I, cultivators, have to admit that when it comes to playing such a grand scheme, compared to those who are immersed in this path, our reaction is still a bit slow. "
Situ Yao's expression was solemn, "Two countries making a move at the same time, I'm afraid we're in trouble."
There was a huge disparity in strength. If the two countries had no scruples and wanted to make a move against them, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
"Sect Master Situ, can I have a word with you?" Niu Youdao extended his hand in invitation.
At this time, there was no need to be pretentious. Situ Yao followed him to the side and walked into a nearby pavilion.
The people of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor looked at each other.
Situ Yao, who entered the pavilion, tilted his head towards them, "What matter do you need to avoid my fellow sect members?"
"It's not that I want to avoid them, but this matter is of great importance and I don't want it to leak out. This is your territory, and there are some things that I need Sect Master Situ's help with. As far as I know, envoy Yan and envoy Song are here, and I hope that there will be some conflict between them. "Niu Youdao's voice suddenly lowered as he whispered in Situ Yao's ear for a while.
Situ Yao was puzzled, "What do you want to do?"
Niu Youdao, "Sect Master Situ, don't ask too much, just wait for the result."
Situ Yao, "If you don't tell me clearly, how can I help you without knowing?"
Niu Youdao, "I just want them to have a little conflict, and then stop after provoking them. It won't cause any trouble for the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor."
Situ Yao, "But I still want to know the details, I can't do this kind of thing without thinking."
Niu Youdao, "The implications are of great importance to me, I can't tell you everything, Sect Master. I just want to remind you that I've thought about the Jinzhou incident, and I heard that the State of Qi and State of Wei are sending more troops to the border of the State of Jin, the State of Han is in a standoff with Yan, and Yan is going to attack the Nanzhou. Zhao's border is no longer hindered, and this is probably the reason why Hai Wuji dares to act rashly, so the Jinzhou's disaster cannot be avoided, and Hai Wuji will definitely send troops to attack the Jinzhou.
"Only when the crisis of the South State is resolved will the South State be free to dispatch troops into the territory of the State of Zhao and give the Gold State a hand!"
Situ Yao's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have guessed something. "You want to pull the State of Song in to put pressure on Yan?"
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and gestured the location of the four eastern states, "Upper Han, Lower Yan, Left Zhao, and Right Song. The Northern State is in a standoff with the State of Han, and Shang Jianxiong still wants to attack the Nanzhou regardless of the consequences. So, if the situation changes, we must give the State of Song an excuse to send troops!
"Once the State of Song and the State of Yan quarrel, the State of Yan will attack the Nanzhou, and the State of Zhao will attack the Jinzhou. Without the State of Zhao's hindrance, the confrontation in the Northern State may become real.
"Let's not talk about whether the State of Han will join hands with the State of Song to attack the State of Yan, as long as the State of Song sees the State of Han attacking the State of Yan, with a good excuse, can the State of Song not take a share of the pie?
"If the State of Yan and the State of Han fight one on one, they can still fight, but if the State of Han and the State of Song attack at the same time, the State of Yan will be in danger of being destroyed, and Shang Jianxiong can't bear such a serious consequence! Let's not talk about whether Shang Jianxiong will dare to attack the Nanzhou, the three sects of the State of Yan must be the first to jump out and stop him.
"As long as Shang Jianxiong doesn't dare to attack the Nanzhou again, the State of South can easily send troops to the Jinzhou to help. Once the troops of the Nanzhou arrive, with reinforcements, the morale of the Jinzhou will be stabilized, and facing the alliance of two states, Hai Wuji will have to consider the consequences of this battle. Once he is delayed by the battle, while the State of Yan and the State of Song are at daggers drawn, the State of Han can easily attack the State of Zhao and take advantage of the situation.
"At this time, although the State of Zhao has no hindrance, it also doesn't have the help of the other states. Hai Wuji probably won't dare to act rashly against the Jinzhou, and the crisis will naturally be resolved!"
Situ Yao was very excited after hearing this, and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, "Good!"
With a flick of his sleeves, he paced back and forth for a while. This way, even if he couldn't protect Hai Ruyue and her son, he might be able to protect the Jinzhou, and this would give him time to reorganize the Jinzhou.
Not far away, the people saw the excitement of the Sect Leader and looked at each other.
"No wonder Little Brother can kick the Heavenly Jade Sect out of the Nanzhou." Situ Yao couldn't help but pat Niu Youdao's shoulder, "This is a good plan! But … "
His excited expression suddenly froze, and he asked again, "A little provocation will give the State of Song an excuse to send out troops?"
Niu Youdao pressed with one hand, "There are many people in the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion, and this matter must not be leaked. Sect Leader Situ needs to find a reliable person to handle this matter. To keep it a secret, I will handle the rest, and there is no need for the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion to worry. "
"Good, this time, we will be in the same boat, and we will cross this calamity together …" Situ Yao grabbed his wrist intimately, and the two of them discussed in the pavilion for a long time.
…
In the Fragrance Retention House, the night was quiet, and the people were restless. It was normal for the envoys of the various states to visit each other.
The Yan envoy, Gao Shaoming, led a group of people to the courtyard where Zhao Sen was staying. The guards went in to report, and Gao Shaoming and the others waited outside.
After the previous Yan envoy was killed, and the quarrel between the States of Yan and Zhao subsided, Gao Shaoming came to the State of Zhao to take over the position of Yan envoy.
This person was no stranger to the State of Zhao. He was originally a member of the Yan Intelligence Division, and he had hidden in the State of Zhao for many years under the identity of the merchant Quan Shaokang. When Yan pursued Niu Youdao in the past, he had fought with Niu Youdao through the air. Later, because of a failure, the Yan Intelligence Division suffered a huge loss, and they retreated to the Yan State.
