Cooperate? Cooperate to annihilate Shang Chaozong's one hundred thousand cavalrymen? An Xianzhao was speechless and slowly turned to look at Shi Yuanlong. His expression seemed to be asking, "Why do I feel like this person is joking?"
Shi Yuanlong couldn't help but touch his nose. He looked at Shen Yuhong and then Shang Yongzhong.
Shen Yuhong continued, "Don't worry. Su Qitong is a member of Xiao Yao Palace. Since Martial Brother Shi Sheng is gone, I will represent Xiao Yao Palace to take over. Haozhou's men will naturally cooperate. With both sides working together, we can coordinate from the inside and the outside. We have all the advantages. It won't be a problem to break Shang Chaozong's tiger claws, but it will greatly damage South Prefecture's strength. It will be much easier to deal with them. In addition … "
He pointed at Shi Yuanlong and said, "Brother Yuanlong, we still need you to deal with the Great Zen Mountain. Before the incident, think of a way to lure Huang Lie to the side. As long as we control Huang Lie, the people of the Great Zen Mountain won't dare to act recklessly. After that, it will be easy to control Shang Chaozong. With Shang Chaozong in our hands, the people of South Prefecture won't dare to act recklessly. Xiao Yao Palace will take care of the rest. "
Shi Yuanlong had a strange expression and said, "Brother Shen, don't you know that Shang Chaozong's one hundred thousand cavalrymen have left?"
"Left?" Shen Yuhong was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Shang Yongzhong, who had just pointed out a good plan, was also stunned.
"What do I mean?" Shi Yuanlong raised his hand and made a funny walking gesture. "Left means they left. Brother Shen, don't tell me you don't even understand this?"
Shen Yuhong said in a deep voice, "Brother Yuanlong, this joke is not funny at all. Left? Why would they leave?"
Shi Yuanlong asked back, "Gamiao Shui should have reported to the imperial court about how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of captives, right? Don't you know?"
Shen Yuhong still didn't understand. "I heard that Shi Xinmao broke through the pass and captured almost four hundred thousand captives. How to deal with them is a problem, and the imperial court is also hesitant. But what does this have to do with the one hundred thousand cavalrymen?"
Shi Yuanlong said, "Shang Chaozong insisted on his own opinion and ordered them to be escorted away. Four hundred thousand captives! A single mistake could lead to disaster. How could escorting them be handled by a small number of people? Shang Chaozong ordered his one hundred thousand cavalrymen to escort them, with Meng Shanming personally supervising and commanding them. "
She then looked at Shang Yongzhong, who was a little dumbfounded. "So, I'm afraid the Prince's plan to annihilate them won't work."
Shen Yuhong's Adam's apple bobbed as he asked, "When did they leave?"
Shi Yuanlong said, "They've been walking for more than half a day. They're going west, and the army is going east. Both sides are going in opposite directions. More than half a day is not a small distance. It's impossible for them to come back and hide in the ravine that you mentioned."
Shang Yongzhong was a little confused and muttered to himself, "How could this be?"
He looked a little disappointed and absent-minded. This was a good plan that he had pondered for a long time while staring at the map. It took him a lot of effort, but it was all for nothing. There wasn't even a chance for it to be put to use.
The reason why they wanted to get rid of the one hundred thousand cavalrymen was because of Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud. He was the biggest weapon of the Southern Province. Without Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud, the Southern Province would not be as big of a threat.
What was even more unexpected was that even Meng Shanming had left. If they wanted to make a move on Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud, they would naturally have to deal with Meng Shanming, who was Shang Chaozong's right-hand man. Given the current situation, although Shang Chaozong didn't dare to kill recklessly, Meng Shanming and Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud definitely had to take the opportunity to get rid of them.
Who would have thought that the two pieces of meat that he wanted to bite would fly away?
The Southern Province's forces were not damaged at all. The consequences could be imagined. Once they killed Shang Chaozong and started a rebellion, the threat would be much greater than the Wugong Ridge.
"Shi Xinmao that idiot, he should have killed all four hundred thousand captives. It was for my sake!" Shang Yongzhong suddenly let out a heavy sigh of regret.
Shi Yuanlong rolled his eyes when he heard this. He realized that it was easier said than done. Killing four hundred thousand captives, and they were starving civilians who were forced by the flames of war. Who would dare to make such a decision? Even Shang Jianxiong wouldn't dare to give such an order in the open. If he wanted to do it, he could only do it secretly.
Shen Yuhong, who was also a little absent-minded, was awakened by Shang Yongzhong's regretful sigh. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuanlong, where's Shang Chaozong?"
Shi Yuanlong replied, "Him? He's still here. Oh right, a large number of the Great Zen Mountain's men had also gone to escort the captives. The Great Zen Mountain only has a few people here, including Huang Lie. If you want to touch Shang Chaozong, it's much easier now. You don't need to waste time and effort to go around in circles. He doesn't have any guards around him now. You can just go and capture him. As for my side … "He chuckled," It can also save me some trouble. "
He wasn't joking. He really felt that it could save him a lot of trouble. If he really had to fight with the one hundred thousand iron cavalries, although the plan was good, if there were any accidents, he didn't know how many losses he would have to suffer.
"As long as he's still here." Shen Yuhong let out a sigh of relief. He thought that Shang Chaozong had also left. This time, he was here to settle the debt with Shang Chaozong. He had also gone through a competition to represent Xiao Yao Palace. Capturing Shang Chaozong would be an excuse for him to take revenge and gain merit. He would then be able to take over Shi Sheng's forces in Haozhou. If he let Shang Chaozong run away, it would be hard for him to swallow the forces in Haozhou. It wouldn't be easy to gain benefits without any merit. There must be a reason for everything.
He turned back and comforted Shang Yongzhong, "Prince, don't worry. As long as Shang Chaozong is in our hands, we will find a way to force Niu Youdao to stabilize the situation in Nanzhou."
Shang Yongzhong nodded in silence.
The following matters would be easy to handle. However, it wasn't up to Shi Yuanlong to decide. They had to confirm the situation first.
At this moment, Su Qitong of Haozhou and An Xianzhao of Tuzhou were gathered here.
Shen Yuhong first asked someone to invite Su Qitong and the leaders of the three sects in Haozhou. He also secretly invited Gamiao Shui.
When they met, the situation was confirmed. Just as Shi Yuanlong had said, the one hundred thousand cavalrymen had indeed left.
Gamiao Shui had already reported this to the imperial court. However, Shen Yuhong and the others arrived while they were still on the way. Therefore, they didn't know the situation in time.
Shen Yuhong and the others were doing this secretly. They didn't dare to let too many people know so as not to beat the grass and alert the enemy.
Shang Yongzhong took out Shang Jianxiong's Imperial Decree and showed it to Gamiao Shui. After Gamiao Shui checked it carefully, he understood the intention of the imperial court and returned it with both hands.
After meeting and discussing everything, and obtaining the support of the forces in Haozhou and Tuzhou, the matter was no longer a problem. Shen Yuhong and the others began to openly show themselves. They climbed over a mountain and headed towards Shang Chaozong's tent.
Su Qitong and An Xianzhao, who were accompanying them, exchanged glances from time to time. They felt bitter inside. They really didn't want to participate in the capture of King Ning's son. They also didn't want Shang Chaozong to end up like that.
However, things had come to this point. The accompanying cultivators were afraid that something might happen and had already put the two of them under surveillance.
"Why aren't they here yet?"
Shang Chaozong, who was sitting behind the table in the tent, raised his head and asked. He thought of something and sent someone to summon Su Qitong and An Xianzhao. However, they didn't show up even after a long time. At this moment, he couldn't help but shout to the messenger, "Hurry them up again!"
"Yes!" Not long after the messenger left, he returned and urgently reminded. "Prince!"
Shang Chaozong, who was staring at the map in the tent, raised his head again. In the end, he saw a group of people appearing outside the tent. He was very familiar with the person standing in the middle. He had known him since he was young. It was his paternal uncle, the Prince of De, Shang Yongzhong. He was also the Commander-in-Chief Yan who had taken over his father's position.
On the left and right of his royal uncle was a group of cultivators. They were all staring at him inside the tent.
At the side, Feng Ruonan was a little confused. She looked outside the tent and then at her husband.
"Chaozong, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why? Don't you know the basic etiquette when you see your uncle?" Shang Yongzhong, who had his hands around his abdomen, shouted with a smile.
Shang Chaozong's cheeks tightened slightly. He slowly walked out from behind the table and took large strides forward. When he exited the tent, he coldly looked around and saw that this place was already surrounded by the silent army.
Shang Chaozong's personal guards had already quickly come over and surrounded him. They looked around warily like tigers watching their prey.
Huang Lie and the other members of the Great Zen Mountain also quickly came over.
In the end, Shen Yuhong shouted loudly, "Huang Lie, this has nothing to do with you. Don't seek trouble for yourself! If you are really tired of living, then go ahead and try! "
Huang Lie's footsteps froze. He looked around and his expression slightly twitched. Then, he raised his hand and gestured. The members of the Great Zen Mountain froze at the side to 'watch the show'.
"As expected, you are used to being wild outside. You don't even know the rules of seniority. I really feel sorry for Uncle Jian and Brother Wang." Shang Yongzhong's smile disappeared. He stared at Shang Chaozong and snorted coldly. Then, he slowly turned to the side and said, "Great-eunuch, announce the imperial decree!"
Gamiao Shui shook out the imperial decree from his sleeve. He opened it in front of everyone and read it out in a cadence, "The imperial decree of His Majesty the Emperor of Yan Country! Provincial Governor of Nanzhou, Shang Chaozong, as a Junwang, disregarded the Emperor's kindness. He was selfish and attacked Dingzhou without permission. He burned, killed, and looted. He brought disaster to the people and caused grievances among the people! The Cang Zhou rebellion was quelled by the entire country. However, Shang Chaozong went against the grain of the Imperial court to quell the rebellion. He caused many defeats in the war and is a traitor of the country! Now that the evidence has been found, he is immediately removed from his position as the Great General of Quelling the Rebellion. He is escorted to the capital for trial. The Grand Marshal, Shang Yongzhong, will be in charge of all matters related to quelling the rebellion. Done! "
The scene was silent. Many people who knew the truth felt sad. They realized that once the accounts were settled, the crimes would be set. The crimes were all ready-made.
Facing such a situation, Huang Lie was helpless. He could only sigh to himself. Why did they kill Shi Sheng for no reason? Were the three major sects so easily provoked?
Gamiao Shui, who put away the imperial decree, said calmly, "Junwang Yongping, accept the imperial decree!"
"Accept the imperial decree? Haha! Haha … "Shang Chaozong suddenly laughed to the sky as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. After laughing, he shook his head in grief and indignation," I risked my life to quell the rebellion for Yan Country. I did not hesitate to offend the three major sects. Who would have thought that if you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext! My death is not to be regretted. However, if this goes on, after one Wugong Ridge is destroyed, there will not be a second Wugong Ridge. When will the Shang Yan Country be peaceful? "
Gamiao Shui ignored him and waved the imperial decree towards Shang Yongzhong.
Shang Yongzhong immediately bowed and welcomed it with both hands, "Your subject, accept the imperial decree!"
With the imperial decree in his hand, he straightened his back and waved his hand. As the Grand Marshal of Yan Country, he ordered, "Take him down!"
Just as people rushed out from both sides, Feng Ruonan unsheathed her sword and stood in front of Shang Chaozong. She shouted, "Who dares!"
