Chapter 700

Kill prisoners? Lu Zheng was stunned and looked at Meng Shanming. He was shocked again. He slaughtered 600000 prisoners of the state of song once. How can he not get revenge?

It is not only a revenge, but also a great revenge. It will become an unforgettable disgrace to the state of song. If the state of song has the opportunity, how can it not snow this hatred!

This was intentional. In addition to the great strategy previously said to Gong Lince, we should also cut off the way back to attack the officers and men of the state of song and force them to fight bravely and die!

It turns out that killing prisoners can also be a way to boost morale!

He understands that there are so many reasons behind it. No wonder Meng Shuai insists on doing so even though he is under the pressure of reputation and the three factions

The army left qunluo mountain and escorted groups of prisoners away from qunluo mountain. All the luggage carried by the army forced the prisoners to bear the burden and liberated the burden of Yan people and horses.

In this water soaked place, although the ground has dried a lot, the journey is still muddy and the journey is a little difficult.

Meng Shanming did not want to waste food on the prisoners who bear the burden. He only gave them some soup to eat and drink. He was weak and hard to bear the weight. We can imagine the situation.

Almost all of these prisoners were wounded, with one ear missing, and there was blood on each of their cheeks.

The ground was muddy and the army moved slowly.

……

"Master Tao, Gongsun Bu's letter and the red faced monkey's letter arrived almost at the same time."

In the mountains, Guan Fangyi took out two letters.

Niu Youdao looked at Gongsun Bu's first. There was nothing else. He just reminded that the army of Yan state in qunluo mountain had set out again.

After that, only two people were familiar with the handwriting passed by Yuan Gang. Niu Youdao knew it was top secret news.

It was Gao Jiancheng from Yanjing who replied.

Gao Jiancheng's news came late. For the sake of confidentiality, he didn't let Guan Fangyi and others around him know that he was in contact with Gao Jiancheng. He transferred it to Yuan Gang. The news came late is also normal.

Niu Youdao summoned up his spirit and looked closely at Gao Jiancheng's opinion, which was very pertinent.

Gao Jiancheng first mentioned that Yanjing was going to take 600000 prisoners as bargaining chips, and let Niu Youdao have a number in mind first.

Later, Gao Jiancheng didn't say whether the 600000 prisoners could be killed, but only put forward opinions for Niu Youdao's reference.

After all, it's 600000 prisoners. Killing these 600000 people, not to mention anything else, will have an impact on Meng Shanming's reputation. At least one "murderer" may not be able to escape his reputation.

If you don't kill, it's obviously unnecessary to feed and consume food and grass. It's better to make bargaining chips for the imperial court.

If you want to kill, you should also pay attention to it. You'd better not kill too directly. It's more appropriate to kill it as a bargaining chip.

This bargaining chip is not the bargaining chip of the imperial court, but the bargaining chip of Zong or Meng Shanming of the Shang Dynasty.

Gao Jiancheng meant to ask Meng Shanming to ask the song army for food and grass. The news was sent back to song Jing. There must be two groups of people arguing in the song Jing court. One side is willing to give it for 600000 elite, and the other must be unwilling to give it.

The premise of this theory is that Yanjing is taking 600000 prisoners as the conditions for the withdrawal of the song army, with additional requirements for food and grass. Song Jing will think that the conditions here are too harsh. He is also worried that mengshanming will become more powerful after getting food and grass. Once he goes back on his word, it will endanger the state of song. Therefore, there will inevitably be more than two disputes in the song Jing Dynasty hall.

There are several advantages to doing so.

Once a prisoner is killed, the imperial court will investigate. Meng Shanming can complain about the lack of food and grass and resist the imperial court's responsibility. Who says there is not enough supply here and the imperial court can't provide it.

Another is Meng Shanming. It can be said that the state of song did not have the sincerity to kill them in anger, which can offset some of the negative effects of killing prisoners. It can blame the state of song for not wanting to save these prisoners, which can weaken the hearts and morale of the song army.

The last advantage is that once the prisoners are killed, those who advocate giving grain in the court of the song Jing Dynasty will inevitably accuse those who do not agree to give grain. It is those who have killed 600000 elite people, which can make the court of the song Jing Dynasty quarrel.

In the final analysis, Gao Jiancheng means that when a bad thing is done, you should have reason to argue that you are not a bad person and try to take the opportunity to create some trouble for your opponent.

After reading Gao Jiancheng's opinion, Niu Youdao tilted his mouth and was happy. He found that the people who have been immersed in the chaotang for a long time are the people who have been immersed in the chaotang for a long time. They are full of bad water. They really play very well in this aspect.

Niu Youdao still has that attitude. If it's not necessary, he doesn't want to interfere in the battlefield. He leaves the special affairs to professional talents to do freely, so he sends a message to Meng Shanming with Gao Jiancheng's opinions.

Of course, there will be no trace of gaojiancheng, all of which have been transformed into their own meaning.

The distance between the two sides was not too far. Gongsun Bu soon received his letter. After translating the secret letter, he handed it to mengshanming at the first time.

The road was muddy. Meng Shanming was sitting in a slow-moving carriage when he saw the letter. Gongsun Bu handed it in from the window. Luo Daan handed it over. Lu Zheng was driving the carriage as a coachman.

After reading the letter, Mengshan Ming stroked his beard and shook his head, tut tut sighed, "the Taoist master is the Taoist master, and even the temple is a good calculation."

He was sincerely admired. Although he fought a fierce war, he was not good at things in the court, such as the evaluation of outsiders.

To be exact, it's not that he is stupid, but he doesn't pay much attention to it and doesn't want to devote energy to thinking about it. People's energy is limited, and they can't be proficient in one subject if they are too scattered. When King Ning was alive, he devoted himself to studying the war. He didn't have any indiscriminate thoughts about the court. He was blocked by King Ning. Now he doesn't need to take care of the thoughts of the court.

Niu Youdao did not bind him from beginning to end in the war. He only provided useful help, which also made him feel very comfortable. Unlike the three factions, they like to intervene.

A talented person has been hiding behind the scenes to pay attention to the crisis and help resolve it in time. He deeply feels it is a blessing.

For example, no one was aware of the impending crisis in Nanzhou. Only Niu Youdao noticed that the imperial court was going to start against the emperor of Shang Dynasty. Niu Youdao immediately transferred the 100000 iron cavalry in Nanzhou who was about to fall into a great disaster, and let him Meng Shanming lead the 100000 iron cavalry out of danger in time.

It was unacceptable for the feelings of mengshanming and others to let shangchaozong be in danger alone. Mengshanming wanted to lead people to first aid, but Niu Youdao sent someone to stop it.

Now, looking back, to some extent, as long as he still had the strength of mengshanming and Nanzhou, the imperial court would not dare to give the emperor of Shang Dynasty anything.

From another point of view, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty left behind to bear the consequences. He was guilty, but the killing of Shi Sheng was gradually weakened.

Looking back and looking at the situation again, Niu Youdao was the most rational and calm person. Combined with the situation of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, it can even be said to be rational and terrible.

If it weren't for Niu Youdao, the consequences could be imagined. They were the ones who shouted to send troops to save the state of Yan, but Niu Youdao was the one who cleared the obstacles to sending troops and prevented risks. If Niu Youdao didn't hide behind the scenes, it would be difficult to imagine the consequences of the killing of Shi Sheng in the Shang Dynasty alone. How can there be the current situation.

A bird appeared in the air in the distance. Zhang Hu's voice soon came from the window, "marshal, there are people from Song Jing. We need to verify the number of prisoners."

Meng Shanming closed the secret letter in his hand and said calmly, "inform all departments to be careful and let them verify. In addition, inform the people of the state of song that they want to bring food to the prisoners..."

……

The negotiation between song and Yan has already had a result, but it has not stopped the pace of song's army. The 500000 pioneers of song's army finally came to the city and surrounded Yanjing!

The gate of Yanjing city is closed, and the guards are like a great enemy at the head of the city. All kinds of anti attack facilities are ready. Millions of people organized in the city are busy and cooperate with the army to defend the city. It can be seen that as long as we have the determination to prevent, the resistance in Yanjing city will not stop at the 200000 garrison.

Nevertheless, the people in the city were still in panic.

Outside the city, a friar sent Qian Liansheng, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, to meet with the general of the song army.

Under Qian Liansheng's persuasion and Luo Zhao's military order, Song Jun just won't attack for the time being, waiting for the implementation of the negotiation results. Once the implementation is unfavorable, Song Jun will attack the city immediately!

Song Jun shouted and threatened outside the city, beating drums and trumpets from time to time, creating pressure on the people in the city!

No one dared to approach a corner of the palace, because some bodies in the palace gathered here for incineration.

No one dares to mention the cause of death of the palace concubines. Although he knows that he can't hide it at all, the chief manager Tian Yu still issued a ban. Those who make false comments die!

Shang Jianxiong didn't dare to go back to the back palace for the time being. Even the place where he slept was temporarily close to a small house in the imperial study. He was afraid. The people around him knew it, but no one dared to tell.

The enemy outside the city shouted. In the palace inside the city, Tong Mo took the negotiation results and discussed the implementation steps with Shang Jianxiong and others.

There is no way to negotiate. We should not only implement the negotiation results, but also take care of the emotions of Shang Chaozong. The current situation has been changed from Shang Jianxiong to Shang Chaozong. Regardless of the strong command, Shang Chaozong holds the military power in his hands!

Military power is also the most annoying thing for civilian officials to military officials, and it is also the most feared thing for civilian officials. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, civilian officials can't wait to add layers of restrictions to the military power in the hands of military officials.

At this time, he dared to annoy the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, and it was useless to negotiate any results.

Before, Shang Jianxiong looked forward to Shang Chaozong's 100000 iron cavalry attacking the song army. Now, he is really afraid that Shang Chaozong will be impulsive and bad for him.

From the perspective of Shang Jianxiong, Shang Zong has every reason to do so.

When Meng Xuan came, he ignored the guards outside and broke in directly.

Shang Jianxiong stood up after the case and asked, "leader Meng, have the three front-line factions been arranged?"

Meng Xuan hesitated for a moment. He was also embarrassed and was a little difficult to speak. After all, he made a guarantee before.

But there is no way. The news from Gong Lince is indeed reasonable. The most important thing is that Meng Shanming and others support troops and respect themselves. Relying on their ability to control the situation, they don't listen to the three factions at all. At this time, as long as the three factions still care about their own interests, they don't dare to do anything about Meng Shanming, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!

Seeing his reaction, Shang Jianxiong and others were nervous, and the atmosphere dared not breathe.

Meng Xuan finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that the song army will launch an attack soon. Let the army be ready to defend and survive with Yanjing!"

PS: another man on the hero's slope cut a horizontal knife and immediately thanked the new league leader "chenrh1974" for his support!
