Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment. When he realized what Meng Shanming meant, his eyes lit up. He stood up and clapped his hands, "Good! With Commander Meng here, there is no need to worry about the rebels! "
That was truly a sincere expression of admiration. The war that gave the entire Yan Kingdom a headache was just a trivial matter in the eyes of this old marshal. It was really impressive!
He knew nothing about war, especially this messed up war. He did not dare to give orders carelessly, nor did he dare to speculate on his own. He was entangled with the various forces and did not even think about this. That was why he asked Meng Shanming to teach him a thing or two. After learning from him, he finally understood what it meant to be an expert. How could he not be happy?
Meng Shanming waved his hand, "It is easy to say but not easy to do. Once the Southern Army leaves the Southern Region, I am afraid the Imperial Court will make things difficult for them. They will not let the Southern Army return easily. It is possible that they will use this opportunity to destroy the Southern Army."
Gao Jiancheng had mentioned this a long time ago, so Niu Youdao nodded knowingly.
Meng Shanming continued, "This is not the most difficult part. It is the word 'justifiable'. How can the Southern Army formulate a battle plan and let the princes execute it? How can they command the princes? Giving orders to command the army is considered treason. The Imperial Court will be the first to object! "
Niu Youdao said, "Commander Meng, are you saying that we need the Imperial Court to give us the power to command?"
Meng Shanming nodded, "The one who holds this power is the Commander-in-Chief! Before, King Ning was the Commander-in-Chief of Yan Prefecture. Now, it is Shang Yongzhong, a relative of the Imperial Court. Shang Yongzhong is His Majesty's follower and can be ignored. But will His Majesty agree? Once the Prince is given the power to command the army, if the Prince can use this power to suppress the rebellion that the Imperial Court could not do anything about, his prestige will make His Majesty shudder! "
"I see." Niu Youdao nodded slowly. He finally understood what was going on. He was happy for nothing. No wonder Meng Shanming said that suppressing the rebellion was both easy and difficult. He asked again, "Commander Meng, do you have any way to make the Imperial Court hand over this power? Let me know and I will think of a way. "
Meng Shanming shook his head, "It was not easy to take away the power from King Ning. His Majesty will not give it away easily, especially to the Prince. I have thought about this for a long time but I could not do anything. The Taoist master asked me, but he asked the wrong person. I know a thing or two about war, but fighting in the imperial court is not my forte. It's a pity that Luo Shaofu died too early. Luo Shaofu was an expert in this field. When Prince Ning lost the throne, he was still able to command the army of Great Yan. It was not because of us martial artists, but because of Luo Shaofu's contribution. This guy suppressed the imperial court internally and all the kingdoms externally. It could be said that he single-handedly raised the weak Great Yan to its current prosperity. To Luo Shaofu's King, Luo Sher things of, but also by, Luo Luo said., and said, ", Imperial". and "Imperial Court"., "I," said. "I Shato," to, and for for for. It was Luo Shaofu who persuaded me to go into seclusion. Now that I think about it, did Luo Shaofu realize something and wanted to protect me? "
Niu Youdao did not know anything about this. He asked again, "How about letting the three factions force Shang Jianxiong to hand over the power?"
Meng Shanming still shook his head, "Impossible! Today is different from the past. The millions of soldiers fighting against the Han and Song Empires are all under His Majesty's command. The three great sects don't dare to force them into desperate action. If that happens, it won't just be the chaos of Cang Province. "
Hearing this, Niu Youdao felt troubled. He sighed, "The internal strife in the Yan Kingdom will affect our Nan Province sooner or later. Wu Gongling, oh Wu Gongling. His actions have caused chaos in the Yan Kingdom. Everyone is in a state of panic. "
Meng Shanming said, "I knew this person was rebellious and suppressed him. If not for King Ning, I would have killed him long ago. His brother, Wu Gongshan, was most likely killed by him. "
"Oh!" Niu Youdao was curious, "Did Marshal Meng have a grudge with him?"
Meng Shanming said, "There was no grudge. Back then, his brother, Wu Gongshan, was only a centurion. In order to stand up for King Ning, he risked his head and volunteered to fight for King Ning. King Ning was moved and gave him a thousand elite soldiers. He led the battle and conquered dangerous areas. He risked his life to open up a pass for King Ning's army. Because of this battle, Wu Gongshan became famous and caught the eye of Ning Wang. He was favored by Ning Wang and promoted all the way until he had his achievements. "
Niu Youdao was puzzled, "What does this have to do with Wu Gongling?"
Meng Shanming said, "It was a battle of life and death. Wu Gongshan was injured. I went to visit him after the battle and heard the two brothers arguing outside the tent. Wu Gongling was venting his dissatisfaction with his brother. He said something about a seven feet tall man kneeling on the ground and being disrespectful to the Prince. At that time, I knew that he would rebel if I did not get what he wanted. I opened the tent and entered. One of the two brothers was lying on the bed and the other was standing beside the bed. When they saw me, they broke out in cold sweat. "
Niu Youdao could imagine the situation at that time. Within the army, Meng Shanming's words were enough to kill the two brothers. He smiled and asked, "Commander Meng is a decisive person. Why did you let them go? If you had killed them earlier, we wouldn't have to worry about the future."
Meng Shanming said, "I did not want to let him go. At that time, I had already unsheathed my sword. King Ning was worried about Wu Gongshan and came to visit him but was stopped by King Ning. After that, Wu Gongshan and Wu Gongling did the same. When King Ning promoted the two brothers, I had to stop one of them! "
Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "Suppress Wu Gongling?"
Meng Shanming nodded, "I only gave him a deputy position and did not give him the chance to control the army. Before I retired, I told Luo Shaofu not to give him the chance. "
Niu Youdao said, "No wonder. He has been wronged by Marshal Meng for so many years."
Meng Shanming shook his head, "Once someone like him controls the army, the consequences will be unimaginable. How can we let him go? If not for his military achievements, I would have killed him long ago. Now that I think about it, I am too soft-hearted. Not only did I hurt Wu Gongshan, but I also left a problem for Yan. "
Niu Youdao sighed endlessly when he heard this. The gratitude and grudges in this world were really endless and messy.
The two men discussed for a long time before coming out. Shang Shuqing was waiting outside and Yuan Gang also showed up.
Under the eaves, Meng Shan Ming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sighed when he saw Yuan Gang. "Bold but careful, fearless in the face of danger, quick-witted, calm and courageous, good at calligraphy, and loyal. He has all the qualities of an excellent general. He is indeed a rare talent. With training and experience, he will definitely shine brightly and become famous in the world. Don't you think it is a waste of Daoye's talent to stay in this village? Why don't you let him go with me? "
Niu Youdao did not agree, "He wants to become famous in the world. To me, his life is more important than anything else." He walked down the stairs with his sword.
Meng Shanming sighed.
Shang Shuqing did not know why Niu Youdao invited Meng Shanming over. When he saw Meng Shanming come out, he went up and chatted with Meng Shanming enthusiastically.
Yuan Gang invited Niu Youdao to the side and said in a low voice, "Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang are back."
Niu Youdao immediately knew that he had the answer. Otherwise, the people he sent to investigate would not suddenly retreat. He asked immediately, "How is it?"
Yuan Gang, "They should be in the Misty Pavilion."
Niu Youdao, "What do you mean by 'should'? Are you sure?"
"I can't say for other places, but are there any other forces in that area? Although we did not follow them … "Yuan Gang told him the general situation.
Niu Youdao remained silent for a while and finally said slowly, "Looks like I've guessed correctly. They really are from the Misty Pavilion …" After thinking for a long time, he reminded Niu Youdao in a low voice, "Tell the relevant people to keep quiet. Don't touch Baili Jie and Gongsun Bu. Pretend nothing happened."
Yuan Gang, "Can you feel at ease with such a person by your side?"
Niu Youdao, "Even if we can't feel at ease, we can't do anything about it. If we get rid of Gongsun Bu, they will plant a second Gongsun Bu. Can we find out in time? It is better to know what is in our control than what is out of our control. The good thing is that the Misty Pavilion has always been a bystander, and we won't interfere as long as we don't touch their interests. You have to know how to guard against them, what to let them know, and what not to let them know. "
Yuan Gang nodded.
Niu Youdao, "I will go to the capital personally. I will bring Hong Niang with me. You take care of the family."
Yuan Gang was shocked. "Daoye, the capital is a dangerous place. Shang Jianxiong will not let you go. You can't wait to hide from him. How can you walk right into his trap?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand. "It is not as exaggerated as you think. No one knows that I will go. I will go quietly and return quietly. Nothing will happen."
Yuan Gang still objected. "Daoye, I don't agree. It is too dangerous."
Niu Youdao shook his head. "When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact. The situation is chaotic and the situation is too big. We do not have enough knowledge and do not dare to act rashly. I have to go to the capital personally to seek advice from an expert. If I do not have a clear understanding of the situation, I will not dare to make a decision easily. This time, I must do it. "
Yuan Gang tried to ask, "What is the expert's opinion?"
Niu Youdao nodded.
After that, Niu Youdao found Guan Fangyi and invited her to go with him to escort Meng Shanming back to the capital.
Guan Fangyi was not happy to run around like this. "What are you doing? Do you need both of us to protect him?"
Anyway, since Niu Youdao wanted to go, she had no choice but to follow him. She also felt that something was wrong and wanted to see what Niu Youdao was up to.
Another three large flying beasts soared into the sky. Yuan Gang watched them leave. He was worried but relieved at the same time.
Now that he had figured out Baili Jie's background, he did not have to kidnap Sha Huanli and Xue Luo 'er anymore.
Otherwise, he could imagine how unbearable the next scene would be. Baili Jie could not be killed. He could only control him. Baili Jie's background was too strong. It was so strong that no one could control him. Needless to say, why did the Taoist Grandpa kidnap one of the two women? It was very likely that he wanted Baili Jie to sleep with her.
During this period, the girl knew what had happened but did not know who had molested her. She released her and only let Baili Jie know who he had molested.
This was probably worse than letting Baili Jie kill the girl. Even if he was forced to do it, Baili Jie would not dare to say anything about it.
It might be fine if he was forced to do something else, but if he had done it with the granddaughter of one of the Nine Great Supremes, the consequences would be obvious. What was done could not be undone. Baili Jie would not dare to say anything!
