Chapter 677

Seeing that he was so determined and had made the final decision, several people looked at each other and couldn't say anything.

There is no way to say anything. This decision, whether to retreat or continue the attack, is not a decision that ordinary people can make, and others don't dare to make this decision. Even if Su Yuanbai and others are the elders of the three major sects of the state of song, they don't dare to act as the master on behalf of Luo Zhao. Once something happens, they can't bear the responsibility

The only person who can command thousands of troops on the battlefield to make this strategic decision is the commander-in-chief, governor Luo Zhao.

However, as the first confidant counselor around Luo Zhao, wen you must think for Luo Zhao.

Wen you quietly glanced at the reaction of Su, Dong and Chang. His eyes flashed slightly and said in a timely voice: "governor, I have a word. I don't know if I should say it properly?"

Several people looked at him immediately. Luo Zhao said, "Wen you, there are no outsiders here."

Su, Dong and Chang also nodded slightly. I don't know what his views are.

Wen you hesitated and said, "what I'm worried about is the imperial court. Once Meng Shanming launches an attack on our great Song Dynasty, the metropolitan governor ignores it and allows it to attack. I'm afraid someone in the imperial court will question the metropolitan governor's attempt."

He had just dropped his words when a "newspaper" came from outside. Someone came in and sent a letter from the imperial court.

Wen you took over and looked at it first, and then handed it to Luo Zhao, "governor, the imperial court has noticed this."

After receiving the letter, Luo Zhao said, "reply truthfully."

After that, Su, Dong and Chang also took over to read the letter. In the letter, the imperial court also noticed that Meng Shanming was going to attack the state of song. The imperial court was also worried. It mentioned that Meng Shanming was not a yong generation and asked Luo Zhao how to deal with it.

Obviously, the shadow left by mengshanming to the state of song is still there. Now mengshanming is out of the mountain again, which may be aimed at the state of song, which has left some people confused.

Wen you quietly observed the reaction of the three elders and said, "governor, it's natural to reply truthfully. I'm afraid you have to explain it well. Otherwise, people's words are terrible. Some people who pull their legs in the court are afraid that they will be uneasy. There are many rumors. We are afraid that we can't understand the governor's painstaking efforts here and hide their selfishness as governor."

Luo Zhao understood what he meant and said this to the three elders.

There are some things that can't be helped. No matter which country's court, there are no monolithic things, there are no lack of people who drag their feet.

After a little consideration, Luo Zhao said: "naturally, the explanation is to explain. I want to reply. I wonder if the three elders can also write a letter to explain together, so that no one knows that Luo is talking to himself."

He hoped that the three would explain to the three factions at the same time to help him stabilize the rear.

Su, Dong and Chang looked at each other and finally nodded. Su Yuanbai said, "don't worry about the governor. The governor has worked hard on the front line. We all see that he has no selfishness. We won't sit by and watch the governor easily wronged. We will help the letter to explain the interests."

"Exactly." Dong Yinglai nodded with Chang Fei.

Luo Zhao immediately thanked him.

……

The people and horses of Changzhou are vast and mighty, and the soldiers move forward meandering in two ways. There is a large army in the middle of the two armies, which is the court people and horses oppressed by the law enforcement supervisor.

Outside the carriage, the war horses ran back and forth, and information was constantly sent. Someone reported the progress of the first pedestrians and horses cutting trees and making wooden rafts by the East River.

A divine white horse was also led by the carriage, which was a gift from Luo Zhao, the governor of the state of song, to Meng Shanming.

Zhang Hu, governor of Changzhou, sighed when he learned that Luo Daan around Meng Shanming was Luo an's son. He heard about luo'an's death. Only now did he know that Meng Shuai took luo'an's son with him for training. The youngest son followed LAN ruoting as a disciple and became Luo Shaofu's disciple.

Such a thoughtful arrangement for the children is a good thing that many people can't ask for. It can be said that there is a bright future. If there is a future, I'm afraid the achievements will be far more than Luo an. Zhang Hu sighed that luo'an, who died in the war to save Meng Shuai and the king, must know that he can rest in peace.

He and luo'an are also acquaintances. Although luo'an's level was not as high as him, he was the confidant and guard around King Ning. They were also very familiar with each other. My old friend has removed his emotion and has no other way, but he also sent a good war horse to luo'an.

Along the way, I also took good care of luo'an.

Behind the carriage, Gongsun Bu led more than a dozen Wuliangshan disciples, one by one carrying cages with golden wings and black cloth.

After receiving the summons from Niu Youdao, Gongsun Bu immediately brought people to meet Meng Shanming. Niu Youdao should keep abreast of the situation here at any time.

In the carriage, Meng Shanming swayed in it, with a map in front of him. Now the battle map is almost inseparable from him.

After reading all kinds of news and information, he often had to think with reference to the map.

Beside him was a book about solar terms, and he occasionally looked out of the window to see the clouds in the sky.

After the rest of the army, Meng Shanming was also carried off the carriage to breathe.

Zhang Hu, who received a letter nearby to check, strode forward and gave his faith to Meng Shanming with both hands: "commander, the imperial court has come again and ordered us to turn back and pursue Song Jun immediately."

Meng Shanming waved his hand and didn't answer the letter. He said he didn't want to see it. It seems that it's just those things.

Zhang Hu had to give up, but he tried to ask, "Marshal really wants to attack the state of song?"

Meng Shanming asked, "do you think I'm playing children's games?"

"No, the end will not be that interesting." Zhang Hu scratched his head and smiled. When facing this, he occasionally couldn't help showing his appearance when he was still a small soldier next to mengshanming, which made the sergeant seen not far away secretly laugh. "The end general just feels that the defense line of the state of song in the Dongyu river is as solid as gold soup, and our biggest trouble is food. We have no food on hand. It's hard to fight this war!"

Meng Shanming said slowly, "I'm not old and confused. I have my own decision."

What can Zhang Hu say when he says so?

As for the truth, Meng Shanming doesn't know.

The ultimate significance of a country's existence is the supply-demand balance of people's livelihood. The supply-demand balance will be broken immediately together with the war, and the severity of the break is far greater than the impact of other things. The large-scale war can almost stop the production of all walks of life. There is no output but consumption. It is a terrible thing. The shortage of one material can cause the shortage of other materials.

The reason is very simple. For example, ordinary families only save food rations for ten and a half days and a half months, because they can buy them with money in the market. No one will worry too much. But once something happens, even families have to save food rations for one month. Families across the country do not have to accumulate all of them. Only a considerable part can immediately destroy the food supply balance of the whole country, Even break the balance.

This is why what seems to be very common on the market suddenly disappears once there is a war.

This is why a good country is prone to famine once there is war since ancient times.

There was a sudden alarm in the rear, and Zhang Hu suddenly looked back.

Several large birds flew in the air. Here, large birds immediately took off to check.

The master Dharma driver of Zijin cave came in person. Gong Lince came all the way from Yanjing. The disciples of Zijin cave immediately came forward to meet him.

After casually asking some questions from his classmates, Gong Lince came to mengshanming. He found that mengshanming looked tired and had blood in his eyes. He said calmly, "Meng Shuai, we meet again. It looks very tired. Didn't you have a rest?"

Mengshan sighed, "thank you, leader of the palace, for your love. You can come here in person. Shouldn't you come to see me specially?"

Gong Lince: "you don't know why I came. The song army has gone to the capital to kill, but you refuse to obey orders. Instead of chasing the song army, you let the army retreat, which has frightened the whole hall. What's the reason?"

Meng Shanming: "I also obey orders. The palace leader should ask Prince Yong."

Gong Lince: "who is in control of the war? Do you and I still need to beat around the Bush?"

Meng Shanming: "I have told the disciples of the three sects that Luo Zhao just wants to lead our army by the nose. It's no use for us to catch up. Did the disciples of the three sects not tell us?"

Gong Lince: "is the explanation too simple to convince the public? What should be said? Since I came in person, should you say something to me?"

Meng Shanming: "what does the palace master want to know?"

Gong Lince: "why didn't the army save the capital, why didn't they fight with the song army, and why did they withdraw here?"

Meng Shanming: "the movement of the army is so obvious that I don't think the palace leader can't see it. I want to gather the army to attack the state of song to solve the siege of the capital. I hope to attract the song army back so that we can make a quick decision!"

"Hope?" Gong Lince said, "that's a good idea. What if Song Jun won't turn around?"

Meng Shanming: "Master Gong, if the imperial court can give me enough food, I will chase Song Jun and try to annihilate him. But how can I chase him now? If I really follow Song Jun's wishes, Song Jun only needs to sneak our army on for a few days, and the army will lose without food. In this case, it will happen again and again I want to ask the palace leader what is going on in the minds of those people in the hall? "

Gong Lin's strategy is silent. He can guess how the people in the hall think and why they are frightened.

Meng Shanming sighed again, "I'm forced to be helpless, master Gong. Now I can only endanger the state of song and force the song army to come back and make a quick decision with me. That's still the sentence. Food won't last long!"

Gong Lince: "I still say that. If Song Jun refuses to turn around?"

Meng Shanming: "it's not a bad thing. The main force of the song army is getting farther and farther away from me. It's difficult to get back in a hurry. I have no worries. I can rest assured to attack the state of song. It depends on his choice."

Gong Lince: "as far as I know, the song army has a strong defense line. Can it be easily broken? If it can't be broken for a long time, you also said that there is not enough food on hand."

The sound of Mengshan's singing suddenly increased, "If you don't attack, you have to attack. If you don't attack, is there a way for the army to survive? The leader of the palace can go and have a look. The people behind the army are eating grass and gnawing bark, and you can't grab anything from the people who want to stutter. The conditions in the state of song are better than those in the state of Yan. Only when you invade the state of song, you can think of something. As the commander, I can't watch my men and horses starve to death. The army must fight one Come alive! "

Gong Lince: "sit and watch Yanjing fall?"

Meng Shanming asked, "do the three factions want to protect the capital or the Yan state?"
