Gong Lince checked the pills in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
Meng Shanming pushed the wheelchair forward and also looked at the things in the sack. He also grabbed a handful and sniffed them before scattering them back into the sack. "Daoye's idea."
"Oh?" Gong Lince seemed hesitant.
Meng Shanming summoned Zhang Hu and had him secretly distribute the things in the cart to everyone. He also instructed on how to use them.
Knowing that it was a strategy against the enemy, Zhang Hu immediately carried it out.
As for why it had to be secretly distributed, Zhang Hu immediately understood. How could he let Chen Shaotong escape after learning about it? This matter couldn't be leaked!
Gong Lince felt a lot more relieved after listening, but he still had some doubts. "What are the names of these pills? Where did Niu Youdao get them from? Are they really useful? "
Meng Shanming: "I don't know either. Daoye doesn't like to reveal the ins and outs of things. He kept his mouth shut, so I didn't ask. But since he sent them here, they must be useful. I have confidence in this. "
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows. He felt uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable about Niu Youdao's invisible influence on Nanzhou. He felt uncomfortable that everyone in Nanzhou trusted Niu Youdao so much. Everyone knew that Niu Youdao didn't forcefully restrict Nanzhou, but everyone in Nanzhou trusted Niu Youdao.
The Heavenly Jade Gate and the Great Zen Mountain were examples. Putting the Heavenly Jade Gate aside, the Great Zen Mountain was helpless now. They were clearly much stronger than Niu Youdao, but everyone knew that Niu Youdao was the real decision-maker behind the scenes. The Great Zen Mountain was a little embarrassed and helpless.
At least Great Zen Mountain couldn't easily mobilize Nanzhou's forces. Shang Chaozong and the others had to first figure out why they were mobilized.
But to Niu Youdao, it was just a matter of a word. He didn't even need to give a reason to mobilize his forces. The troops would listen to him, and he might not even give an explanation after the matter.
In other words, the people of the Southern Province did not believe in any other forces, they only believed in Niu Youdao!
The three major sects had tried to straighten out the logical relationship between them, but it was very difficult to understand. Most of the time, Niu Youdao was in hiding, and basically did not interfere with any military or political affairs of Nanzhou. Shang Chaozong and the others could do whatever they wanted to do with Nanzhou. Unfortunately, the people who always wanted to interfere were the ones who tired themselves out. The shopkeeper who seemed to not care about anything was sitting there and enjoying the fruits of others' labor.
After that, Meng Shanming added, "When everything is ready, before the war starts, I hope the three big sects can perform rituals to stabilize the morale of the troops."
"Religious ceremony?" Gong Lince was confused. "What do you mean?"
Meng Shanming explained the reason. Before the war, they could not reveal the secret to avoid alerting the enemy. However, the Song army's attack method of summoning beasts had greatly affected the morale of the Yan army. In order to prevent panic before the war, the three big sects needed to pretend to have a solution to the problem to boost the morale of the troops. Otherwise, how could they fight the war if everyone was afraid of the war?
Gong Lince understood and nodded. "Don't worry. I will arrange it well."
Meng Shanming said, "After the war, the credit for breaking the Song army's secret method belongs to the three big sects. Although Daoye contributed, he does not want to take the credit. I hope the three big sects can fulfill his wish."
Gong Lince naturally wanted the three big sects to take the credit so that Yan could look up to them. However, he was confused. "With such a great credit, it will only add to Yan's reputation. Will Niu Youdao be so kind as to give up on it?"
Meng Shanming said, "This is Daoye's generosity! This is the kind of person Daoye is. He does not like to flaunt. The three big sects can take the credit. Daoye will not reveal it after the war. I can guarantee this. "
"Generosity?" Gong Lince sneered. "Did Niu Youdao say that? How could you believe his bullshit? "
To him, how could Niu Youdao not seek benefits for himself?
Meng Shanming nodded and said confidently, "I believe him!"
To him, Niu Youdao was indeed this kind of person. The more influential the matter, the less people would know about it.
Having known Niu Youdao for many years, Gong Lince had confidence in him. There were also precedents. For example, when he obtained those warhorses, he pushed the credit to the Heavenly Jade School. This was not the first or second time. Niu Youdao was the kind of person who wished that no one knew of his existence. Many things happened because he had no other choice.
To put it nicely, he kept a low profile. To put it bluntly, he was sinister and liked to hide behind the scenes!
Gong Lince sneered. "Do you believe that he did not seek benefits for himself?"
Meng Shanming said, "I don't know if he sought benefits for himself. However, he once said something to the Prince that I deeply agree with!"
Gong Lince said curiously, "What did he say?"
Meng Shanming said, "Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious achievements!"
"Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious achievements …" Gong Lince muttered to himself. After pondering for a while, he realized something. Feeling complicated, he suddenly asked, "If it was Niu Youdao who asked you to withdraw, would you have done so?"
Hearing this, Meng Shanming was stunned. Instead, he wanted to ask another question. Was Niu Youdao asking you to withdraw the army the same as yours? There must be a reason why Niu Youdao wanted to withdraw the army. Otherwise, he would not interfere in the war so easily. On the other hand, you want to withdraw the army for your own selfish reasons. How can the two be compared?
Although this was what he thought, he replied, "I wouldn't!"
After hearing this, Gong Lince felt a little better. However, he suddenly asked, "Niu Youdao is at the age where he is full of vigor. Is there a good match for him in Nanzhou?"
Meng Shanming was stunned again. He didn't know why Gong Lince brought this up. Was he trying to help Niu Youdao?
He didn't think that Niu Youdao would accept the arrangement of the three major sects. Thus, he helped to reject the question. "The matchmaker by Daoye's side seems to be his confidante."
Gong Lince snorted. "How can a matchmaker be considered a good match? She's no different from a prostitute. She's not worthy of Niu Youdao."
Meng Shanming hesitated. "With Daoye's breadth of mind, he doesn't seem to care about the matchmaker's past."
Gong Lince chuckled and didn't say anything. However, he slightly raised his eyebrows. His eyes flickered with a thoughtful look.
He turned around and left. Then, he called Elder Yue Yuan of the Purple Golden Cave and arranged for Meng Shanming to put on a show to calm the troops.
Yue Yuan accepted the order. Just as he was about to leave, Gong Lince suddenly shouted, "Wait."
Yue Yuan stopped and asked, "Sect Leader, do you have any other orders?"
Gong Lince pondered for a while. After pacing back and forth, he stopped in front of Yue Yuan. "Filter out the disciples in the sect and see if there are any talented and good-looking female disciples."
Yue Yuan didn't understand. "What for?"
Gong Lince: "Filter them out first."
Yue Yuan: "There's no need to filter them out. The spouses of the outstanding disciples or those with some status in the sect won't be bad. The more outstanding they are, the higher their status is, the more talented and good-looking their spouses will be. Besides, if there's anything, you can rest assured that they'll do it for you."
Gong Lince rolled his eyes and waved his hand. "I don't want those who are married or have had a man before. I want those who are flawless, good-looking, and talented in cultivation."
Yue Yuan was suspicious. "Sect Leader, isn't this requirement a little too high? Those with such good qualities …" He gestured with his hand, hinting that those with such good qualities had already been taken by those with high status in the sect. How could they be left until now? He couldn't say it out loud, and it wouldn't sound good if he said it out loud. After gesturing for a while, he asked, "Sect Leader, what are you trying to do?"
Gong Lince frowned and glanced at him coldly, dissatisfied with his long-winded look.
"Uh …" Yue Yuan nodded awkwardly. "I'll arrange for someone to look into it and give you an answer as soon as possible."
…
Tragic!
The Yan army, which was being chased by the Song army, quietly moved. When they found a suitable place, the Yan army suddenly changed their formation and directly surrounded the Song army.
Without any fancy moves, more than two million soldiers directly surrounded the Song army and directly launched an attack!
The Yan army, which had suffered a loss once, still dared to surround them? This was not what the Song army expected. Just like the first time they fought, large numbers of snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, and beasts were attracted again.
However, the result was different. The snakes, insects, rats, and ants treated the two armies as one and did not attack the Yan army.
Under the encirclement, the situation of the battle instantly became one-sided. The motley crew was already weak, and facing the elite troops that were several times their number, they had no power to resist at all. Just by relying on the rain of arrows that came from all directions, it was a massacre!
Amidst the deafening battle cries, the Yan army could not even escape. There were too many Yan soldiers, and they were surrounded!
At the end of the bloody battle, Chen Shaotong, who was under the central flag, stood with his sword on the ground and looked around with bloodshot eyes!
Even though it was difficult to break through the encirclement of a large number of Yan army cultivators, there were still a few cultivators who tried to pull Chen Shaotong out of the encirclement. However, Chen Shaotong's sword cut off their hands. The cultivators were so shocked that they let go of Chen Shaotong, stomped their feet, and shouted, "Great General, there's nothing we can do now. Let's go, or it will be too late!"
"If I escape, I, Chen Shaotong, will have the reputation of relying on women. I will never be able to raise my head again. My children will also be laughed at for the rest of their lives! From the start of the battle, I can only win, not lose! If I win, I can live. If I lose, I will die! "Hot blood gushed out of Chen Shaotong's neck, and he cleanly slit his own neck with his sword.
"Great General …" A few cultivators exclaimed. It was too straightforward. It was so straightforward that they were caught off guard while they were on guard.
In their eyes, it was hard to imagine that someone would be so reckless.
His sword fell to the ground, and he also fell in the deafening battle cries. He really did not want to live, so he did not give anyone a chance to save him. He would rather die than live!
A few cultivators snatched his body and broke out of the encirclement. Facing the encirclement, they were a burden and could not be taken away!
The flag with the word "Chen" written on it was cut down in the permeating blood, and the deafening battle cries gradually subsided.
Facing the encirclement, there were only a few who managed to escape. Only a few cultivators managed to carve out a path of blood and escape.
No surrendered soldiers were spared, and they were all slaughtered, including the 100,000 civilians who followed the army!
It was a white horse, a gift from Luo Zhao. Meng Shan Ming was sitting on the white horse, holding the saddle to stabilize his body. His face was expressionless as he patrolled in the bloody field.
All the soldiers stared at him, and in their eyes, he was like a towering mountain. The murderous aura that permeated the entire battlefield seemed to have been absorbed by him. The inexplicable coldness of his aura made even Gong Lince, who was following him, feel pressured. Wherever he went, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the ground would all give way to him!
