Chapter 294 The countdown to the downfall of the family

Hearing Mo Zizai confirming his guess, Yang Yanzhang's face couldn't help but feel a little solemn. He pondered for a while before he slowly said: "Prince, are you a little too hasty to expose that now?"

"It's not too early."

Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "It's beyond my expectations to be able to hide for so long."

"Now, the Yuzhi Army suddenly showed such strong combat power, and this matter must be hidden. Since it has been exposed, it is better to use it to control the surrendered soldiers and let the surrendered soldiers exert their remaining energy."

Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment, feeling that what Mo Zizai said was not without reason. Others may not know much about the strength of the Yuzhi Army, but the one who had been secretly planning to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty must have a clear idea.

Now that Yuzhi Army has changed to physical cultivation, its strength has suddenly surged. He will definitely find a way to figure out the reason. Judging from that person's method, it should not be difficult to figure out the reason for the sudden increase in strength behind Yuzhi Army after he became concerned.

So, after thinking for a while, Yang Yanzhang nodded slowly and said, "What the prince said makes sense. Since that's the case, I will agree with this."

Shi Zhipei looked at the two men who seemed to be playing a puzzle in confusion, but he didn't understand what they were saying. It was just that from the conversation between them, Mo Zizai seemed to have a way to control those surrendered soldiers?

This thought flashed through Shi Zhipei's mind and was thrown aside by Shi Zhipei. What methods did Mo Zizai have? It didn't matter whether the surrendered soldiers listened to the orders. Whether Nanjun should implement military control in the matter he was concerned about?

Yang Yanzhang relies on his lack of back pain in his speech, and he does not break or establish anything. Those who have broken are the people of Nanjun. He will let Nanjun be destroyed and then established as soon as he opens his mouth. Has he considered how much damage this will cause to Nanjun?

Even if the military control is smooth, the entire Nanjun will inevitably bleed. At that time, many innocent people will definitely die, so Shi Zhipei cannot agree to this matter no matter what.

"Prince, military affairs must not be managed."

Shi Zhipei didn't care whether it would make Mo Zizai unhappy and directly retorted: "Military control is a last resort. It is more harmful than good to the people of Nanjun. Now it is far from that time, so the officials firmly oppose the implementation of the military control system."

"I know this move has a great disadvantage for the people of Nanjun."

Mo Zizai glanced at Shi Zhipei and said lightly: "However, it has more benefits than disadvantages to Dazhou."

“…”

Shi Zhipei opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. The two of them had completely different thinking angles. How could they talk about this together?

Mo Zizai only cares about the Great Zhou. If he can calm down this Great Zhou, he would not mind sacrificing some people.

Although Yang Yanzhang seemed to be gentle, he was the second-in-command of the intelligence department of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, and even did the top-in-chief's work very often. There were countless spies who died in his hands over the years, and the word "benevolent and soft-hearted" was nothing to do with him.

So strictly speaking, among these three people, Shi Zhipei is just a good person. Only he cares about the people of Nanjun and cares about the people's livelihood of Nanjun. The other two people are concerned about how to get Nanjun back to the control of the court as quickly as possible to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Both sides have correct ideas, but one is for the people and the other is for the country. Now there is a conflict in priority between the two, so naturally one side must give in.

Shi Zhipei stood there silently. After a long time, just when Mo Zizai thought he was hit, Shi Zhipei finally spoke.

"Prince, even those small families can be cleaned up, and military control can be implemented."

Shi Zhipei seemed to have made some decision and said firmly: "However, when doing these things, the lower officials still recommend measuring the land first."

"There are two reasons why Xiaguan still sticks to this plan."

"One of the reasons is that because officials from all over the country have not arrived, they measure the land while planning to take action against those aristocratic families. The two do not conflict."

"Secondly, we are the court after all, not the traitor, and we cannot lose the title of righteousness."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhipei saw that Mo Zizai was thinking about something, so he started to say: "Prince, even if you don't think about your reputation, at least you have to consider the reputation of the Yulin Army and the Yuzhi Army?"

"You had been concerned about the reputation of the Yuzhi Army and the Yulin Army before, and did not allow them to participate in the house search. Now do you ignore it?"

Hearing this, Mo Zizai was silent for a moment. He really didn't care much about what Shi Zhipei said before. After all, he was the one who blamed him for his bad reputation and had little impact on the court, but the latter made Mo Zizai hesitate a little.

Once the two armies of the Yuzhi Army and the Yulin Army massacre those aristocratic families or civilians for no reason, this kind of infamous reputation will not be washed away unless the number is changed in the future.

Although Mo Zizai has never cared about reputation, this thing is quite important after all. He doesn't care, which does not mean that Yu Zhijun and Yulinjun can ignore it, so it's better to avoid it.

Therefore, when he looked at each other with Yang Yanzhang and found that there was a look of intention in the other person's eyes, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Shi's words are reasonable and well-founded, and I have nothing to say."

"Since that's the case, then follow Lord Shi's plan."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai solemnly said: "Three days, I will give Lord Shi up to three days. During these three days, the Yuzhi Army and the Yulin Army will fully cooperate with Lord Shi's actions."

"I just used this time to recruit those surrendered soldiers. After three days, no matter what Lord Shi plans to do, I will do it directly. What does Lord Shi think?"

"Three days?"

After Shi Zhipei calculated the time in his heart, he spoke, "Three days are enough, thank you for your kindness."

With these three days, in addition to making those aristocratic families unable to help but jump out, he can also make many additional arrangements. Even if Mo Zizai implements military control over the entire county, he can reduce casualties in some southern counties.

Mo Zizai obviously knew what he thought, otherwise he wouldn't have given him three days, so he would be grateful.

"Sir Shi, don't be polite."

Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "After all, you are also doing it for the Dazhou. Although our ideas are different, our goals are consistent after all, so giving Lord Shi some convenience is nothing."

"No matter what, I still have to thank the prince."

Shi Zhipei bowed and bowed. Seeing that Mo Zi had the intention of serving tea to see him off, he said goodbye with Yang Yanzhang and left Mo Zizai's residence.

After leaving the gate, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Shi is so brave. This is the first time I have seen someone who can make the prince give in."

The three days Mo Zizai agreed would definitely allow many small families to escape, so Yang Yanzhang said that Mo Zizai gave in.

"After all, the prince is in love with the people, so it is understandable that he chooses to give in. Moreover, those small families did not offend him much, so it is not much different for the prince to let go."

Shi Zhipei praised Mo Zizai behind his back with a humble manner, and then said, "Time is tight, so I won't chat with General Yang anymore. I also want to go to the Yulin Army to find General Guard to borrow some people to arrange the land measurement matter, so I will say goodbye first."
