Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 276
After leaving the military tent, Shen Du sent someone to write a letter to the White Lotus Sect.

When they parted ways, they both left behind the means of sending messages.

In Nan'an City, there is a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, which is used for communication.

The Qian Kingdom is rich, and even these demonic sects will establish strongholds throughout the Qian Kingdom.

Half of the reason why Dayan's martial arts flourished was due to Dayan's martial arts.

Even a young child of a few years old has not thought about studying since childhood, but practicing martial arts, going into battle to kill enemies, and drive away the northern barbarians.

It has been passed down orally from generation to generation, and even without deliberate teaching, it continues to influence the people of Dayan.

But compared with the wealth of Qian Country, it was still far behind.

Sufficient and rich resources have also created many martial arts masters in Qian Kingdom.

inside the tent,
As Shen Du arrived, all the senior officials of the six doors stood up and saluted.

In addition to Shen Du's confidants, these people also have many headhunters from the Six-Door Headquarters.

"grown ups!"

"All sit down."

Shen Du said casually, then walked up to the front seat, looked at Liang Ying, and asked: "In eight days, we will gather our troops and send them to Shaolin!"

"In addition, inform Cihang Sword House and ask them to come to Nan'an City to plead guilty within ten days. Those who fail to do so will be responsible for the consequences!"

Everyone looked shocked.

Soldiers sent to Shaolin?

Although Dayan's banner this time when he went south to Qianguo was to conquer Shaolin, no one really took this matter to heart.

Dayan's hundreds of thousands of troops did not really come to conquer Shaolin, so doing so would totally outweigh the gains.

Shaolin has been inherited for thousands of years and has tens of thousands of monks, but they are by no means ordinary people.

In particular, these Shaolin monks all have martial arts skills, which are far beyond the comparison of ordinary soldiers.

Although several powerful Dharma figures have been lost one after another, Shaolin's heritage cannot be underestimated. No one can guarantee how many powerful people there will be in the temple.

At this critical moment, Lin suddenly took action, which was completely beyond their expectations.

Shen Du had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and naturally knew what they were thinking.

But he didn't mean to explain more.

If Shaolin is not eliminated now and they truly stand together with Qian Guo later, that will be the real trouble.

Only by taking surprise can you win with one blow.

To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, the chicken must naturally have more weight.

Everyone feels that Dayan will not take action against Shaolin at this moment, but he will do the opposite.

Shen Du picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said calmly: "Also, send someone to place the next invitation."

"Just say that I invite all the martial arts sects and nobles from the three realms and eight mansions to come to Nan'an City for a banquet."

"I hope they can give me this face!"

Since Qian Guo is rich, it is natural to squeeze something out of them.

There are some things that are difficult for Nan Tian to do, but he doesn't care.

Everyone looked at each other and stood up to agree.

Although they do not understand Shen Du's thoughts, they will resolutely implement Shen Du's orders.

……

Moyang City,
This place is one of the important military towns of Qian Country, and it is also an important hub of Qian's defense line today.

There are 20 troops stationed here, but among them there are only [-] Western troops who are truly capable of fighting.

The other 5 people are local soldiers drawn from various places, and the other [-] are newly recruited soldiers.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Although the Qian Kingdom has a serious shortage of soldiers and horses, after all, the family has a big business, and under the high military pay, many people still enthusiastically signed up.

It was raining lightly in the sky.

It rains a lot in dry land, especially in the hinterland of dry country.

Several newly recruited soldiers gathered together and chatted casually.

"Mom, when will this day end?"

"I regret it. That stupid recruiting officer is talking nonsense, saying that the Yan people are vulnerable."

They will never forget the scene a few days ago.

Those Yan people were like crazy, their eyes wanted to devour them, as if their lives were not their own.

Fortunately, these new recruits were just moving rocks in the rear, otherwise they would have been scared to death.

"Ugh."

"I hope these swallows and dogs can retreat."

"But I heard that the Yan people are very kind to the people who occupy the city."

"And the people of Yan are fair in dealing with things, much better than those of us officials."

"To shut up!"

As soon as these words came out, the veteran on the side immediately shouted and cursed: "Don't forget, you are a gangster."

The person who spoke rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Yan people, what does it matter if you do people."

"What does the country's surname, Zhao or Xia, have to do with us?"

"I heard people say that today's officials are mediocre and listen to slander. If I couldn't resist it, I wouldn't let my husband come."

Several people were talking and didn't notice an additional figure behind them.

One person's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly saluted: "Commander!"

The person who came was wearing silver-white exquisite armor. He looked to be in his forties, but his eyes were full of wrinkles and his hair was already full of white.

This man is the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, a well-trained teacher, and the only person in the Qian Kingdom who can be regarded as a famous general.

It's a pity that the literati of Qian State are in power, and the generals do not have much say in the court.

He held the helmet in his arms and listened to the discussions of several people. However, he did not show any dissatisfaction and just nodded calmly.

He walked forward, straightened a man's armor, patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

This simple sentence flattered everyone.

"Xiang... Xiang Gong..."

Shi Youdao smiled softly, didn't say anything more, just turned and left.

He knows that there are many similar remarks in the military nowadays.
One person said that he could still be punished by military law, but with so many people, do they all need to be punished by military law?
Shi Youdao found a secluded place and stood on the city wall quietly looking at the military tents in the distance.

"Father!"

There were sounds of footsteps behind him, and a young general in silver armor strode over.

"Just leave the city patrol to me, why do you have to come in person?"

The person who came was none other than Shi Youdao's youngest son, Shi Xueqing.

Of the three sons of the Shi family, one died in battle and the second is now stationed in the West.

"I'm afraid if I don't look at it, I won't have a chance."

Shi Youdao smiled with emotion.

Shi Xueqing frowned and asked in confusion: "Father, what do you mean by this?"

"We are defending the city, how can the Yan people break in."

Shi Youdao turned to look at his youngest son, shook his head and said with a smile: "Wars are never guaranteed to be won."

"The Yan people are far stronger than you think."

"The Grand Governor rose from a young age, and I have heard of his reputation."

"It's not difficult for someone like him to break through the city, but he just doesn't want to do this to me."

He has been on the battlefield for decades, and it is not that he does not understand the methods used in officialdom, but he has always been too lazy to flatter and disdains them.

He is investigating Xiang Nantian, and Xiang Nantian will naturally investigate him.

"Qing'er, if nothing can be done, you will lead the Western Army to evacuate this area. If we can hold on to the Western Area, our army will still have a glimmer of hope."

"I do not go!"

Shi Xueqing said coldly: "Soldiers should die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather. This is what you told me, father. I will not leave."

"My second brother has inherited the bloodline of my master's family."

"Father, are you too worried?"

"The Yan people have made several forcible attacks, but they have all failed. If they want to attack this city, they must have at least twice the number of troops."

"As far as I know, their current strength is far from adequate."

"Ugh!"

Shi Youdao laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly: "It was never Yan Jun that I worried about."

"That is……"

Shi Youdao continued: "Emperor Taizu wore a yellow robe and laid the foundation of the Qian Kingdom for hundreds of years. My father now holds an army of 60. It has been so long. What will the officials think?"

"After all, not everyone is the Emperor Yan."

To be honest, he envied Xiang Nantian.

He is familiar with military literature, so he can naturally think of anything Xiang Nantian can think of.

He had already guessed that the Yan army's offensive had been suspended for the past few days.

But the sad thing is that even if he knows the other party's strategy, he can't do anything about it.

Shi Xueqing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became gloomy. He said coldly: "I can only hate that there are traitors and sycophants in the court now."

Shi Youdao looked at the continuous military tents outside the city and didn't say much.

maybe……

Shi Xueqing said in a deep voice: "Father, why don't you ask Captain He to come forward?"

Shi Youdao shook his head and said calmly: "You don't understand."

"It's useless."

"Even if you don't have the heart to rebel, as long as you have the ability to rebel, it's a sin!"

I can only hate that I have the intention to kill the thief, but I am powerless to save him!

Shi Youdao withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to the entire army to prepare for battle."

He had no choice.

I don't know how many of the 60 troops will survive in this battle.

Using infantry to go head-to-head with the elite cavalry of the Yan people was something that only those stupid literati could do.

He had already guessed what orders would come from Bianjing.

……

In Bianjing City,

Night has begun to fall, but the lights in Bianjing City are still brightly lit.

On the street, there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

This is Bianjing City of the Qian Kingdom, which is called the most prosperous city in the world by countless literati.

In the mouths of the people, it is a golden land everywhere.

A huge house with four entrances is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Bianjing City.This place is Gao Taiwei's Mansion.

In the back house, Gao Mou sat on a chair, looking at the strangers who broke into the hall with an ugly expression.

Dozens of corpses were lying outside the courtyard. They were all masters of guarding the courtyard of the Taiwei Mansion, and among them there were even those in the Yuanshen realm.

"Guys, what do you mean by coming here late at night?"

"If you are asking for money, why not tell me the number?"

"Ha ha!"

"Captain Gao is truly a generous man."

On the Taishi chair at the lower right, a figure in white is sitting, with a ghost mask covering his face.

"But I am not here today to seek wealth."

"I came here today because I want to make friends with Captain Gao."

"make friends?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Mou immediately felt relieved, sat down on the chair calmly, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Snapped!"

On the desk, there was suddenly a letter.

"This is a letter between Shi Youdao and Dayan in collusion."

"The Yan people promised him the title of Duke of the country, and were even more willing to give him thousands of hectares of fertile land, and to use the four prefectures of Qiandi as his place of food and settlement."

"what?!"

Gao Mou exclaimed, looking surprised. He grabbed the letter on the table, opened it and read it.

The letter was not fake, it was stamped with Xiang Nantian’s coach seal.

"This……"

Gao Mou looked surprised and uncertain, staring at the letter tightly, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"

"Ha ha!"

"Since you want to make friends with Captain Gao, you must show enough sincerity."

"If Lieutenant Gao doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check whether the Yan people sent a letter to Shi Youdao."

The letter of recruitment and surrender was naturally true, but Shi Youdao did not agree.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, it actually doesn't matter whether Shi Youdao really agrees.

"Traitor!"

"What a waste of official trust!"

Gao Mou immediately cursed with anger on his face.

He actually had doubts about this letter, but he had already had the intention of suppressing Shi Youdao.

If he really wins this battle, then Shi Youdao's prestige in the court will skyrocket, and they will only lose.

Now this letter is exactly what he wanted.

So even if he had doubts, he didn't care.

He has sent envoys to Western Chu and Eastern Qi. As long as the three parties work together, Yan will have to retreat.

At that time, he can come forward to negotiate peace with Yan.

At that time, he was the hero of Qian Country.

"What do you want?"

Gao Mou sneered: "In other words, who are you?"

"Lieutenant Gao, don't worry."

"We only have a small appeal. I just hope that after this incident, Lieutenant Gao can make some changes for us so that we can preach on dry land."

"Preaching?" A glint flashed in Gao Mou's eyes, and he said coldly: "Are you from the White Lotus Sect?"

Although he is in the court, he is not completely ignorant of the affairs in the world.

The Qian Kingdom worships Buddhism, and only Buddhism can be truly preached in the Qian Land.

If we talk about preaching, there is only the White Lotus Sect, or... the Maitreya Sect.

It’s just that it’s obviously impossible for the Maitreya Sect.

The figure in white smiled but did not answer.

"impossible!"

Gao Mou decisively shook his head and refused: "I can't do this."

A hint of coldness flashed in Bai Wushan's eyes.

This person is really greedy, and he doesn't recognize others after taking advantage of him.

Who doesn't know that today's officials are extremely fond of Gao Mou.

If Lieutenant Gao really wanted to do this, he might not be able to do it.

However, he never thought that this matter would happen, but it was just to make it more credible.

What's more, it's not a good thing if it really comes to light.

Gao Mou also seemed to realize that what he said was too arbitrary, and his tone was a little gentler, and he said in a deep voice: "You also know that Buddhism is in power now."

"The officials also believe in Buddhism. Even if I are willing, the Buddhists will not agree."

"However, I can provide you with some conveniences within my ability."

"Of course, if you need money, I can also help you."

He has naturally heard of the name of the White Lotus Sect. If he can reach cooperation with the White Lotus Sect, he might be able to use it one day.

Bai Wushan stood up, cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you so much, Lieutenant Gao."

"Farewell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wushan's figure turned into a burst of white mist and disappeared.

Gao Mou looked at the letter on the table, without hesitation, rushed out of the courtyard and shouted: "Prepare your horses!"

"I want to enter the palace to meet the officials!"

A carriage quickly drove out of the Taiwei Mansion and entered the palace.

In the royal garden,

Zhao Qian looked at Gao Mou who hurriedly entered the palace to meet him, frowned and said, "Why did Gao Taiwei come into the palace late at night?"

"Official!"

Gao Mou saluted and said loudly: "My people have intercepted a letter."

"The border is in danger!"

"Bold!"

"Gao Mou, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhao Chou was immediately furious.

"Officials, please take a look." Gao Mou took out the secret letter and held it up, saying, "This is the secret letter from Yan people to Shi Youdao."

"It is clearly written in it that I am willing to give Shi Youdao the position of Duke of the country. After the death of his father, his son will succeed him. He also chooses the four prefectures of our country as their fiefdoms."

No one knows what the position of Duke means in Yan State.

Since Dayan was founded, only five people have been awarded the title of Duke in total.

Not to mention returning his fiefdom, which is the highest honor.

If Qian Guo wants to give him a status that matches his, he can only make him a king.

Zhao Cuan signaled the eunuch on the side to take the letter, then took it and swept it over, his face suddenly darkened.

"The Yan people are despicable!"

"Official!"

Gao Mou said loudly: "The plan now is to find out as soon as possible whether Shi Youdao has agreed to this matter."

"The official, he has an army of 60 in his hands."

"If he becomes rebellious, who can resist?"

Zhao Chou's expression suddenly changed.

These words can be said to have struck a chord in his mind.

No one knows better than him how Qian Guo's country came to be.

If the ancestors of their Zhao family were able to wear yellow robes, then naturally others can too.

In the Qian Kingdom, the so-called emperor has long lost his mystery.

In the minds of many people, the so-called emperor is actually no different from a roadside vegetable seller. As long as you have the ability, you can do it, instead of "taking orders from heaven" like other countries.

Zhao Chou hesitated and said, "But if you doubt the general commanding the troops just because of a letter, will it shake the morale of the army?"

"This matter might be a conspiracy."

Zhao Chou is not completely stupid. After all, he has some wisdom of his own, but not much.

In other words, all he thinks about is his throne.

As for how many people died and how many cities were lost, he didn't care too much, at least compared to his throne.

Gao Mou secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that the officials were already suspicious.

"Official!"

Gao Mou cupped his hands and said: "You can send people to supervise the army and go to the frontline army to supervise the military. At the same time, you can order division Youdao to recover the lost territory within ten days."

"In this way, we can also verify whether this matter is true. With the supervisory army sitting in the army, he can also take back his rights at any time."

"If he really regains his lost territory, then we have wronged him. The officials will just give him more rewards when the time comes."

"On the other hand, if he has evil intentions, he will definitely resist this matter."

"For the sake of safety, Wei Chen suggested sending people to the West Land and sending people to secretly keep an eye on the master's residence as hostages."

Gao Mou sneered in his heart.

As long as he is sent to supervise the army, even if Shi Youdao really wins, half of the credit will be his.

But if Master Youdao rebels, then he has done a great job.

No matter how you calculate it, it will only be him who will benefit in the end.

Zhao Qian thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Draw up the decree!"

"The deputy privy envoy Wang Yuanjun was transferred to supervise the army, and the division was ordered to recover the lost territory within eight days without any mistakes."

"As ordered!"

The eunuch on the side bowed in response.

……

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already four days later.

Nan'an City has been a bit lively these days.

Dozens of luxurious carriages arrived outside the city, and many dignitaries from the Qian Kingdom poured into Nan'an City.

These are all from famous families in the Qian country and wealthy literati families. Some of them have come all the way, without even a moment's rest on the way.

They all came here because of an invitation.

An invitation from Dayan Shendu, Shen Du!
