Chapter 697

If the capital of the country is lost, it will be an unprecedented event in the history of Dayan. It will be a great humiliation. Shang Jianxiong needs a fig leaf to choose from. Only Shang Yongzhong is the most suitable, that is, the prince of the royal family and the big Sima in charge of the military of the state of Yan.

Let Shang Yongzhong stay in the war of resistance against Japan, whether to hide his shame or to explain internally and externally. Is there anyone more suitable than him?

Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng knew the emperor's intention and jointly recommended it behind the back of Shang Yongzhong. After Shang Yongzhong knew it, he was almost scared out of his wits and almost greeted Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng's ancestors face to face. But he also knew that the two were just pushing the boat with the current, and the real decision-making power was still in the hands of the emperor.

He didn't dare to stay in the war of resistance against Japan. It was to die. He found the emperor to refuse, but Shang Jianxiong refused.

Shang Jianxiong said that he would keep his family small and take it away with him, so that he would not have worries at home and guard the capital. But Shang Yongzhong sounds like taking his family hostage.

Shang Jianxiong also said that as long as he stayed to guard the capital, even if he made meritorious contributions and atoned for his sins, his previous mistakes would not be investigated.

When the emperor said this, Shang Yongzhong understood that he had no way out. At this time, the emperor was like a beast, which was easy to provoke cannibalism.

As a last resort, he had to promise, but also hardened his scalp to stabilize the morale of the left behind people and horses. He said to the left behind people and horses, I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of. The reinforcements will arrive soon.

This is also one of the roles that his majesty left him to guard.

There's no way. Shang Jianxiong took control of his family for the first time. Dare you try it or not? The best excuse for killing is that he lost his country due to previous operational mistakes!

At this time, he was really happy to cry. His eyes were filled with happy tears. Finally, he could escape the disaster. He held the good news in his hands and asked Shang Jianxiong to see it.

Shang Jianxiong didn't mean to take a look. He looked at him coldly. "Do you think this is the good news that few people need? Can you let the song army retreat? This is the good news of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty!"

When it comes to Shang Zong, it can be said that he was gnashing his teeth.

He had always had the last glimmer of hope before, but in the end, his hope was completely dashed. The 100000 iron cavalry of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty had been accompanying the song army.

He insisted until the end, but he didn't see the emperor of Shang Dynasty's intention to attack the song army, which forced him to flee Yanjing. It was clear that he wanted to sit and watch him, the great Yan Emperor, leave the capital of the country and flee in a hurry!

The emperor of the Shang Dynasty gave him hope and let that hope be dashed in front of him. It was so cruel to him. He hated the emperor of the Shang Dynasty to the bone at this time!

Pop! Shang Yongzhong raised his hand and patted his forehead. Knowing that he didn't speak clearly, the emperor misunderstood him and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, not only did the two million elite of the song army in Jiangfang be annihilated, but also captured 600000 prisoners! Meng Shanming captured 600000 elite of the song army as prisoners. With 600000 elite as prisoners, it is a bargaining chip! Your majesty, which country can sit idly by and ignore its 600000 elite? With 600000 prisoners in hand, how dare the song army attack our capital again?"

Hearing this, Shang Jianxiong's cold face melted. Like Tian Yu, they all looked surprised.

Shang Jianxiong seemed to be a little unconvinced. "The two armies are fighting, and they are the elite of the song army. They can catch 600000 prisoners in such a short time?" he said and grabbed the good news from the other side.

Shang Yongzhong said: "Who says not, but I have to admit that Meng Shanming, an old cripple, did have a way of fighting. After he broke the river defense, he was confused and got into his trap. He dug the river embankment and borrowed the water of a river. He wiped out the song army without a single soldier in qunluo mountain. Then he picked up 600000 prisoners like beans and took the food and grass of the song army as supplies "Your Majesty, it seems that there is no reason why Meng Shanming insisted on attacking song before. It's really powerful to hide such a poisonous hand behind darqing. Now there are 600000 prisoners..."

"Shut up!" Shang Jianxiong raised his eyes slightly and scolded in a deep voice, "which side are you on?"

Tian Yu on one side also looked at Shang Yongzhong strangely and found that this seemed a little too happy. He couldn't even control his mouth.

But you can understand that you have a chance to escape.

"Er..." Shang Yongzhong was stunned. After reacting, Xiao Khan almost didn't smoke his mouth. He found that he was happy and confused. How could he help Shang Chaozong speak good words? He quickly bowed his head and shut up.

However, he was still excited and happy. After all, he could save his life, otherwise he would really die for his country.

Without much ado, Shang Jianxiong finally read the success report carefully. This victory was really beyond his expectation. He actually captured 600000 prisoners.

"Negotiate with the state of song?" Shang Jianxiong, who closed the good news, seemed to ask himself.

Shang Yongzhong nodded again and again, "Your Majesty, summon the song envoy immediately and order the song army to withdraw immediately! With these 600000 prisoners in hand, and the Western defense line of the song state has been broken by me, the song state is empty and will certainly agree in the face of the threat of mengshanming!"

The envoy of Song Dynasty is still in Yanjing. No matter how the two countries fight, the two countries will not cut the envoys. After all, some things have to be communicated with relevant countries through envoys, so they will not easily move the envoys, so they can be summoned at any time.

Shang Jianxiong hesitated and said, "can Meng Shanming hand over the 600000 prisoners?"

Shang Yongzhong was surprised, "Don't hand it in? Can you eat it in your hand? Mengshanming's food and herbs are not enough. Do you still have to support the 600000 prisoners? He can't kill all the 600000 prisoners? Besides, there are three major factions. Don't the three factions want to stop the two countries and really fight to kill each other so that South Korea can get a bargain? Your majesty can find Meng Xuan and ask the three factions to put pressure on Shang Chaozong and mengshanming The pie will certainly agree! "

When Shang Jianxiong thought about it, he looked at Tian Yu. Tian Yu nodded slightly and obviously recognized Shang Yongzhong's words.

Shang Jianxiong turned and walked away quickly. At the same time, he ordered, "let Da Sikong and Da situ come to the imperial study for discussion."

Tian Yu immediately recruited a eunuch and ordered him to go down.

Shang Jianxiong himself is going to see Meng Xuan now. He is afraid of accidents. He wants Meng Xuan to inform the three factions to hold the 600000 prisoners.

Not far from the chaotang building, I saw a group of women in the direction of the back palace, a group of women still frightened led by the queen.

Seeing these people, Shang Jianxiong couldn't help stopping. His eyes moved away from a group of women and turned to the direction of the harem. He was a little short of breath and his cheeks became dark blue.

Shang Yongzhong didn't know what had happened in the harem. He didn't publicize everything before, and only leaked the news after many things. Therefore, he just felt that the emperor's face was a little ugly.

Seeing the empress and others, Tian Yu's face is also ugly. The good news is late. If you don't have to abandon the capital, the beauty in the back palace has been executed. Why do you feel embarrassed?

Therefore, he can best understand Shang Jianxiong's mood at this time.

Shang Jianxiong's cheeks tightened, and then ignored the empress and others who came out of the harem and walked away.

Tian Yu quickly walked up to the queen and whispered, "madam, please wait a moment."

The queen said slightly nervously, "is there any change?"

Tian Yu shook his head. It's hard for him to say. It depends on whether the three factions agree or not to decide whether to stay.

The queen, who had just witnessed a cruel execution in the harem, did not dare to ask any more questions when she saw him.

Tian Yu left after saluting and went after Shang Jianxiong

The communication with Meng Xuan was very smooth. Meng Xuan also received a great victory report almost at the same time. Knowing that the 600000 prisoners were true, it was natural to protect Yanjing. If the two countries could stop troops and keep Yanguo, it was related to the interests of the three factions. Naturally, Meng Xuan agreed, and Meng Xuan agreed happily.

After finishing the three sects, Shang Jianxiong met Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng. After consultation, he immediately summoned song envoy Qian Liansheng.

At first, Qian Liansheng was arrogant, and the army of the Song Dynasty was strong and oppressed the state of Yan.

The war report of the state of Yan came directly from the battlefield, while the war report of the defeat of the state of song was directly transmitted to the court of the state of song, and it was not immediately transmitted to song envoy Qian Liansheng. Therefore, Qian Liansheng was surprised to learn from the state of Yan that the song army was defeated and captured 600000 prisoners by the Yan army!

For the conditions proposed by Yan Guo, he can't decide. He asks him to report. He also needs to find out the truth and leave in a hurry.

……

"Sir, why are you back? The family is ready to start at any time."

At the gate of Gao's residence, Gao Jiancheng got out of the carriage. As soon as he came back from the palace, the housekeeper fan Zhuan met him immediately. Gao Jiancheng agreed to accompany him, but suddenly came back. Fan Zhuan thought Gao Jiancheng was worried about his family, so he explained.

"It's all right. There should be no need to escape. Let everyone return to normal." Gao Jiancheng threw down his words and went to the inner house.

"Er..." fan Zhuan was stunned. Then he did it. He turned back and ordered everyone to reset the packed things.

Gao Jiancheng returned to his study. As soon as he entered the door, he thought he was in the wrong place and empty. Then he reacted that he should have been cleaned up.

The tables and chairs were still there, so he didn't even take them away. Just after he got to the case, fan Zhuan came in and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

As he asked, he drew a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Gao Jiancheng leaned back in his chair and shook his head with a wry smile. "That mengshanming is really powerful. He can fight the war like this. In the first war, he cut off one leg of the state of song and almost killed half of the state of song. Now mengshanming is holding 600000 elite of the state of song as prisoners. With this chip, the state of song can't withdraw its troops, so Yanjing has no worries and doesn't have to run away."

While talking, he raised his hand and stroked his beard. A strange look flashed in his eyes. After this war, he had realized that the treasure he secretly bet on was just right, which was worth looking forward to.

Fan Zhuan was stunned for a moment, presented the paper in his hand, and whispered, "master Tao has just come to the news and mentioned the 600000 prisoners. Whether to kill or not, I want to ask the master's opinion."

"Kill?" Gao Jiancheng was startled and said in his heart, don't scare me, Taoist priest. Here you've cancelled the preparation for evacuating Yanjing. You kill the 600000 prisoners, and the two countries still talk nonsense. Looking back, the old God here won't go, but the state of song over there attacked. You can't run away at that time. A group of people in Yanjing can't be killed by you.

He knew that Niu Youdao absolutely had that influence on mengshanming. If Niu Youdao really made up his mind to kill, a group of people in the capital would be in great trouble.

He quickly picked up the secret letter and looked at what Niu Youdao meant.
