"Tianyumen and Wandong Tianfu in Jinzhou have already formed an alliance and have already established an offensive and defensive alliance. However, tianyumen is weak and haiwuji can only provide limited support to Jinzhou. Therefore, the current situation of three pillars in Nanzhou is not desirable, which disperses the strength of Nanzhou. Jinzhou is the biggest obstacle for Zhao to attack Yan. If Zhao wants to attack Yan, he must first level Jinzhou, so Jinzhou has its own strength The self-respect of soldiers is the biggest rock resistance of Yan state, and Jinzhou can't afford to lose. "

Long Xiu: "once Jinzhou changes, other people are willing to support Jinzhou. Jinzhou will still promise to form an alliance. It's not your tianyumen."

If the other party didn't come to pay tribute, if he didn't come to give money, and gave so much more money, he wouldn't be so easy to talk.

Of course, Peng chose to lobby at this time, which was also planned.

Hearing this, Peng immediately asked, "did the palace leader ask Zhou Shouxian to send troops to support Jinzhou, or did the imperial court send someone else to support Jinzhou?"

In a word, some things are difficult to find out, but everyone knows that the court of the state of Yan has a very weak ability to balance the three factions of Xiaoyao palace. Because the selfishness of the three factions is not checked and balanced, and some major decisions made by the court of the state of Yan are wrong, it has made the internal turmoil of the state of Yan and the sharp loss of national strength. Those who know it understand that they can't help it, Yan dare not take the initiative to declare war on other countries.

Whether Zhou Shouxian sent troops to support Jinzhou or the court sent troops to support it, they all represented the declaration of war by the state of Yan against the state of Zhao.

How did the northern state of Yan lose it? For beizhou, Xiaoyao palace, Zijin cave and Lingjian mountain fought a fierce battle with several major sects in South Korea. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Finally, the spiritual forces led by the state of Qi launched the ethereal Pavilion mediation.

Long Xiu clearly remembers the words in the ethereal Pavilion.

The practice forces on the side of Yan state agreed to cease the war, but asked the practice forces on the side of South Korea to spit out beizhou and return beizhou to Yan state.

Seeing that the situation is favorable to itself, South Korea naturally refuses to return beizhou.

The state of song and the state of Zhao are interested in South Korea. They are eager to take advantage of the chaos in the state of Yan to participate in the partition nearby.

The state of Jin is plotting against the law. It is suggested that Yan and Han fight to the end. Whoever wins will belong to him.

Qi and Wei did not want to see Yan divided up, which was not in their interests, so they demanded an immediate truce. The two countries don't care what losses Yan suffered, not their losses, just a request for an immediate armistice!

This is the dispute between the spiritual forces of various countries in the ethereal Pavilion.

South Korea kept biting beizhou. Yan was weak. No one supported justice in the ethereal Pavilion. Under pressure, they finally had to accept mediation and compromise. The armies of both sides stopped fighting in their occupied areas, and beizhou was lost.

Peng watched his words and expressions for a while, and then continued: "of course, it's the same for anyone to sit in Nanzhou under the same conditions. However, tianyumen has advantages that other forces don't have. Yingyang Wulie guard is enough to have a certain deterrent effect on the state of Zhao. Zhenlingyuan and Feihua Pavilion can't do it. Nanzhou needs unification. Please give me a clear lesson!"

After a moment of silence, long Xiu asked, "the imperial court has lost its control over Nanzhou and will lose a large piece of taxes. How can the imperial court stop!"

After hearing this, Peng was delighted again. Knowing that the other party had let go, he hurriedly said, "the taxes that should be paid in Nanzhou will still be paid to the court, which will never be less than before. I can guarantee the palace master here on behalf of tianyumen!"

Long Xiu: "do you want to turn Nanzhou into the second beizhou?"

The implication is, what if you take Nanzhou to the state of Zhao? But he won't say it directly.

Peng then hurriedly said, "it's impossible! Let alone the difficulty of survival in the cracks of Dachen mountain, will Jinzhou sit and watch Nanzhou take refuge in the state of Zhao and suffer from the enemy? Once Jinzhou is unfavorable to Nanzhou, Nanzhou will not seek its own death?"

……

Wu Li 258, the beginning of the year.

In the next five counties of the southern part of Yan state, the troops began to mobilize secretly, but how to act secretly again, how can the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops be able to hide the eyes of the heart?

For a time, Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou, asked Yanjing for help.

The eyes of various forces in various countries immediately paid high attention to Nanzhou, Yan state.

Outside Maolu mountain villa, Niu Youdao saw Shang Shuqing off.

The war was imminent. Emperor Zong of the Shang Dynasty was ordered to go to the joint command center of the five county armies and cooperate with Feng Lingbo to help Feng Lingbo give advice. At this time, Shang Shuqing can no longer stay here. She wants to follow her brother.

Seeing Shang Shu go away, Niu Youdao looks up at the clear blue sky. The gray sky finally turns blue because the craftsman camp has been transferred from the army.

Guan Fangyi sighed, "it seems that a big war can't be avoided!"

Niu Youdao said calmly, "it's time for us to move."

Not far away, Gongsun Bu flew over quickly and presented a translated secret letter with both hands, "Taoist, letter from the state of Qi."

Niu Youdao knew whose letter it was without looking. When he got it, it was another letter from Princess Qi Guoyu. He repeatedly asked him to persuade the emperor of the Shang Dynasty to stop attacking Nanzhou.

This is the third letter. Niu Youdao knows that haoyuntu must mean behind it.

"What does this woman mean? Am I not clear enough? Why do you ask again and again?" Niu Youdao frowned.

Guan Fangyi stretched out her hand to take a look at the letter, pondered and said, "there is more pleading tone in this letter than before. It should not be the meaning of haoyuntu. It is estimated that she wants to do it from the standpoint of the Jade King. Maybe it is the meaning of the jade king and wants to show her ability to haoyuntu."

Niu Youdao was silent for a moment and preached to Gongsun: "let someone clean up and get ready to evacuate!"

"Good!" Gongsun buying left.

Just then, three people came flying down the mountain. It was Fei Changliu, Xia Hua and Zheng jiuxiao.

The three of them were dusty. They just came back from Tianyu gate. They didn't return to the gate. They came here first.

When the two sides saw the ceremony, Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "tianyumen summoned. What's the situation?"

The three looked at each other, and Xia Hua sighed, "what else can we ask the three factions to join the war?"

Niu Youdao smiled and said, "as for sighing, doesn't it do you any good?"

The three people touched each other in the corner of their eyes. Fei Chang said, "promise us that each of the three factions will sit on the territory of one county afterwards, but I don't know if it will be fulfilled."

"If we can win this war, tianyumen will not destroy the promise for a long time. Tianyumen's own strength is limited. If we want to control the whole Nanzhou, there are more or less snacks, and the strength of the sect will suffer some losses after the war. It's reasonable to find someone to help share the pressure. As for the consequences when tianyumen's strength comes up in the future, it's different It's settled. The three should know this clearly. Why do you ask clearly? "Niu Youdao asked with a smile.

The three were a little embarrassed. Everyone still knew the reason. Xia Hua hurried round and said, "we want to listen to your opinion before making a decision."

Niu Youdao: "this is a good thing for the three factions. Of course, you should promise."

The three were suspicious. Zheng jiuxiao said tentatively, "let's listen to tianyumen?"

"Of course!" Niu Youdao nodded and asked, "when will the three factions start?"

Xia Hua said, "ask our people to assemble immediately and follow the dispatch. Master Tao, when will you start?"

Niu Youdao said, "you go first. I'll set out tomorrow to meet the Lord. By the way, you have to prepare enough manpower for me."

The three nodded again and again. Fei Changliu promised, "don't worry, there will be no mistake."

Niu Youdao said, "OK, go ahead and get busy. I'll see you later."

"Farewell!" the three arched their hands and said goodbye.

Seeing the three leave, Guan Fangyi frowned and said, "let them go like this? Tianyumen is obviously making profits to them. Once the war is really going to be bad for the Shang Dynasty, the three factions are afraid to stand idly by for their interests. You lack the strength of checks and balances."

Niu Youdao said, "can I stay? It's not only tianyumen who want to develop, but also the three factions who want to develop. How can the three factions miss this opportunity? If the situation really comes to that step, it's reasonable for them to stand on the side of tianyumen. This kind of thing can't force others."

Guan Fangyi: "can you be willing to repay the benefits you give them every year?"

Niu Youdao said calmly, "there's nothing to be reconciled with. It's meaningless to care about this. The situation is stronger than people. Where they can finally stand depends on ourselves. If we can't protect ourselves, it doesn't make sense to ask others to be buried with us. Water flows into nature."

Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes and said, "you're really broad-minded."

Niu Youdao said, "you can't turn your face with them now? Turning your face now won't help. It will make them stand on each other's side completely. It will be difficult to pull them back at that time. Is this the result we want?"

Just then, Lei zongkang came and reported, "Lord Tao, someone wants to see you."

Niu Youdao asked, "who is it?"

Lei zongkang whispered, "people from the Yan Court."

Niu Youdao frowned, "how many people have come and why?"

Lei zongkang: "there are only two people, a man and a woman. The woman is very beautiful. Why didn't you come? I just said I wanted to see you."

"Please." Niu Youdao nodded. After Lei zongkang left, he gave Guan Fangyi a wink and signaled to be on alert.

Before long, two people in dark cloaks entered the cottage villa. Lei zongkang led them to the waterside pavilion.

In the waterside pavilion, Guan Fangyi and Niu Youdao are already waiting. Behind them, Chen Bo and others are accompanied by several people and are on alert.

The two visitors' heads were covered in cloaks and hats and could not see their true faces. However, after seeing Niu Youdao, they all opened their hats one after another.

It is indeed a man and a woman. The man is a thin man with no white face, white hair on his temples, a green jade hairpin, an eagle nose and cold eyes.

The woman's face was full of dignity, but her face was slightly tired.
