"Become one of us?" Guan Fangyi asked suspiciously. "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao replied, "Nothing. The monkey is a stubborn man. With him blocking the way, I can't do anything to him. However, he's also a person who values relationships and righteousness. He's always done things with a clear conscience. He feels guilty towards Su Zhao. This woman suddenly appeared. We don't know if there's a conspiracy behind this. I'm afraid she'll become the monkey's calamity. Think of a way. If it really doesn't work, then just let him go. "
Guan Fangyi was surprised. "Didn't you say it's hard to let her go …"
She understood what Niu Youdao meant. Letting go was only in front of Yuan Gang, but it did not mean that he would be able to leave alive. Niu Youdao wanted to make a move after letting him go.
She sighed. "You are not such a calculative person. Don't you think you care too much about Monkey's feelings?"
"If that woman really has a problem, she is not after Monkey. She is after me. How can I let her …" Before Niu Youdao could finish his sentence, his body slid down and his head was submerged in the water.
Guan Fangyi was deep in thought.
Tai-shu Xiong stood alone in front of the map in an empty hall of the Dajin Imperial Palace.
Shao Pingbo came in and bowed in front of the map. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Tai-shu Xiong Slowly said, "Have you heard about the Yan army annihilating the Song army?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "I've read the report."
Tai-shu Xiong turned around and asked, "Niu Youdao did it?"
Shao Pingbo knew what he was referring to and why he made such a judgment. He had told Tai-shu Xiong that Niu Youdao might be in cahoots with someone from Wan Shou Sect. He cupped his hands and said, "Anything can happen. I can't rule out other people, but it is most likely him. Through this matter, this official's guess has been further confirmed! "
Tai-shu Xiong said, "I am more familiar with the situation in Wan Shou Faction than you are, there are some things that ordinary disciples are not allowed to know. I'm afraid that Chao Jing's grandson is not powerful enough to know about this. If it's really Niu Youdao, then the person who colluded with Niu Youdao might be Chao Jing himself!"
Shao Pingbo thought for a moment and nodded. "Your Majesty is wise!"
Tai-shu Xiong said, "It's a pity that we don't have any evidence. It's all our guesses. Otherwise, we could make good use of it."
Shao Pingbo: "Some things don't need evidence. Being a thief, it's hard to avoid a guilty conscience. There are still opportunities."
Tai Shu Xiong pondered for a while, then he laughed and said, "It's easy to guard against an external thief, but it's hard to guard against an internal thief. If there really is an internal thief, the Wan Shou Faction will be in trouble."
Looking back at the map, he sighed and said, "This Meng Shanming is really powerful. He managed to pull Yan back from the edge of danger by himself. The most despicable one is Jin Jue, that coward. He didn't bite the fat meat that was in front of his mouth and he just sat there calmly. The Zhao Kingdom didn't dare to act rashly and ruined my plan. "
Shao Pingbo felt the same way. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't beat Jin Jue. Shao Pingbo also found out about the situation in Korea. No matter how much pressure they put on Jin Jue, Shao Pingbo didn't dare to do anything. If it wasn't for the fact that Shao Pingbo couldn't find an opportunity to kill Jin Jue, he would have assassinated Jin Jue!
The situation was too big and it wasn't easy to intervene. But he still comforted Tai Shu Xiong, "The war is not over yet, anything is possible!"
Tai-shu Xiong sighed and said, "We can only wait and see for now."
…
The Yan army that invaded the Song Kingdom finally started to retreat. But not all of them left behind 500,000 soldiers to harass the Song Kingdom.
On the way back, Gong Lince also sat in the swaying carriage.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, he turned around and saw Meng Shanming looking at the map in the direction of Korea. He asked, "Commander Meng pays a lot of attention to Korea. Didn't Commander Meng say that we can divert the trouble to Korea? Is there a change of plans? "
Meng Shanming raised his head and said, "We have to be careful of Jin Jue!"
Gong Lince subconsciously looked at Jin Jue's legs. He had also heard of some things, but he said, "I have also paid attention to Jin Jue. There is nothing outstanding about him on the battlefield. Is a mediocre person worthy of Commander Meng's attention? Is it because his legs were crippled back then and he's still holding a grudge? "
Meng Shanming shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate him. A general who always wins on the battlefield isn't scary. There's bound to be mistakes. What's scary is a person who never loses on the battlefield. Taoist Grandpa's words, 'Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious achievements', can also be applied to him! "
Gong Lince asked, "Commander Meng, do you think that you're not as good as him?"
Meng Shanming touched his leg and smiled. He looked out of the window.
…
Jin Jue was looking at the map, marking the route of retreat of the Yan army according to the intelligence.
Someone came in and reported, "Grand Marshal, there's news from the Song Kingdom."
Jin Jue stared at the map and said, "Speak!"
The messenger said, "The Song Kingdom is urging us to send troops to the Yan army and at the same time, they're asking for a secret truce with the Yan Kingdom!"
"Shameless!" The generals in the tent immediately cursed.
Jin Jue said, "Didn't someone in the Yan Royal Court call for Luo Zhao to be replaced? What's the situation? "
The messenger said, "There's no news about this for the time being. It seems that it's not suitable to replace him at the last minute."
Jin Jue had a sarcastic look on his face and shook his head. He could probably guess what was going on. Although there were many people who blamed or pushed the blame to Luo Zhao, at this time, no general in the Song Kingdom dared to accept Luo Zhao's challenge. If they did, they would be courting death!
After confirming the location on the map, he pointed at the Song Kingdom and said, "Meng Shanming has achieved his goal. The army should be returning to the East Domain River to stop Luo Zhao. The 500,000 soldiers left behind will continue to harass the Song Kingdom. This is to prevent the Song Kingdom from sending food to the place that Meng Shanming cleared. On the one hand, he's stopping Luo Zhao at the East Domain River; on the other hand, he's cutting off Luo Zhao's food supply. Even if Luo Zhao successfully crosses the river, he'll be in big trouble. Meng Shanming is not giving Luo Zhao a chance to live!
One of the generals shook his head and said, "This old man, Meng Shanming, is really ruthless. Without any supplies, he killed his way into the Song Kingdom and created a way out. Not only did he turn the Song Kingdom upside down, but he is also trying to choke Luo Zhao. Judging from the reaction of the Song Kingdom's Royal Court, it'll be fine if Luo Zhao can turn the situation around. Otherwise, he will be in big trouble. "
Another nodded and said, "Although Luo Zhao is supported by the Song Kingdom's Emperor, he can't bear the responsibility. He can't push the blame to the three factions of the Song Kingdom either. In the end, Luo Zhao is the only one who can take the blame. If he is not careful, he may never be able to turn the situation around."
Someone else laughed and said, "Luo Zhao is young and full of mettle. He has never suffered a big loss and looks down on all the heroes in the world. This time, he has been defeated by Meng Shanming. But don't forget his background. He is the son-in-law of the Cabinet of Cloud. With the Cabinet of Cloud's help, he may be able to turn the situation around. "
A general said, "According to your opinion, Meng Shanming will not kill all of Luo Zhao's men. He will preserve some strength for the Song Kingdom to resist our army. Are we going to wait like this?"
Jin Jue smiled and said, "What's the hurry? It's better to be safe. "
The general was anxious and said, "My lord, we can't just watch the Song Kingdom and Yan Kingdom join forces to confront us after the peace talks."
"Yes! We know the result, but we can't just watch. Won't we miss the opportunity? "
The other generals also tried to persuade him.
Seeing how anxious they were, Jin Jue turned around and pointed to a place in the Yan Kingdom on the map.
Everyone looked to the southeast corner of the Yan Kingdom, at the estuary of the East Domain River and the Binzhou that faced the Song Kingdom!
"Wugong Ling?" someone asked in confusion.
After Wugong Ling rebelled in Cangzhou and was chased away by the Yan army, he wanted to cross the East Domain River to the Song Kingdom. But Luo Zhao refused to let him cross the river and forced him to fight to the death with the Yan army. Other than cursing the Song Kingdom for betraying him, Wugong Ling had no other choice but to fight the Yan army and lose everything. He was not stupid enough to do that.
Wugong Ling was not someone to be trifled with. He led his men down the East Domain River and settled in Binzhou. He guarded the estuary and gathered his men to build ships to cross the sea to the neighboring Song Kingdom. Since it was not far, they could cross on a raft and the coastline was long. He did not believe that the Song Kingdom's men could split up to defend the coast when Meng Shanming attacked.
After entering Binzhou, Wugong Ling threatened the Song Kingdom's army and demanded food. If they did not give him food, he would cross the sea and cooperate with Meng Shanming's attack.
Luo Zhao did not expect this guy to do this. In order to calm him down, Luo Zhao had to give him some food. He planned to deal with this guy after dealing with the Yan Kingdom.
After getting the food, Wugong Ling had a good dream. Of course, he did not know that he had offended Luo Zhao. But he was not afraid. He still had the Han Kingdom. As long as he had the power, he could join the Han Kingdom when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed and the Han Kingdom and the Song Kingdom were divided. By then, he could be a vassal of his own. However, after Meng Shanming's attack, he felt guilty and realized that his dream was about to be shattered.
Jin Jue nodded. "We did not do anything, but it does not mean that the Imperial Court cannot do anything. Wugong Ling should know the consequences of his actions. Meng Shanming may deal with him later. The Imperial Court can send someone to contact him secretly and promise him great rewards. He will definitely join the Han Kingdom. When Meng Shanming cripples Luo Zhao's army and lets him go, Luo Zhao's army will run out of food. When they cross the river in exhaustion, Wugong Ling can take the opportunity to chase after them! As long as Wugong Ling makes a move, he will have offended both Yan and Song. He will have no way out! "
The generals suddenly understood and were delighted. Even if Wugong Ridge could not defeat Luo Zhao's remaining troops, with Wugong Ridge causing trouble in the defenseless Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom's army would not be able to stop the attack of the Song Kingdom's army. The fat meat of Song Kingdom would be easy to obtain.
One of the generals said happily, "Wugong Ling has good foresight. He can move freely between the Song Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. I am afraid that even Meng Shanming will not be able to do anything to him."
"That was the route I secretly told him. Without the cooperation of the Han Kingdom cultivators, do you think he could escape to Binzhou with the Song Kingdom cultivators holding him hostage?" Jin Jue said calmly.
What? The generals were shocked!
