【Back 270】True love is the hardest to find
The Changming Army vanguard general who was mixed in a dilemma knew that the man on the wooden wheel in front of him was Cao He, the youngest son of King Pingding. He looked at each other and wanted to speak for Cao He and the King Pingding. During the two ideological struggles, he had to bow his head and silently.
Ning Nanyou had shallow eyes, still calm, staring at Xiao Sa attentively, waiting for his response.
Xiao Sa also heard the discussion behind him, his forehead was tight and hesitant, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
After thinking for a long time, he raised his eyes and said hesitantly: "Caozhou Wei... The relationship between King Cao Yong of the Punishment and the current royal family is quite subtle... I am afraid that even if King Pingding is willing to submit a memorial to the capital, Your Majesty may not agree..."
Ning Nanyou understood the concerns in his heart and said decisively and straightforwardly: "Mr. Xiao, at present, we can no longer find other ways to solve the current danger. If we keep hesitating, we may miss the best opportunity to deploy defense. If you don't give it a try, how can you know that Your Majesty will not agree to the Cao family's troops leaving Longxi?"
Seeing that he was so determined and affirmed, Xiao Sa was shocked, his eyes fixed on the unremitting face of the Langjun, and his heart was full of doubts.
He knew Ning Nanyou's identity, and even more so how much Cao Yong cherished his nephew.
The relationship between Cao Yong and Ning Nanyou is even closer than that of the father and son. Ning Nanyou will never make such a decision without considering the situation of pacifying the royal palace. This makes Xiao Sa feel that the man in front of him may have other plans.
Xiao Sa lowered his head and was silent for a long time, but hesitated and chose to believe Ning Nanyou's decision: "Since that's the case, I wrote a book and passed it to the Pingding Palace with a quick horse. Let's try it."
After the words were finished, there was a low voice in the room, as if I couldn't understand why Xiao Sa agreed to this matter?
Among the Yongzhou garrison generals present, several people who admired the reputation of the Cao family army could not hold back their confusion and said bluntly to Xiao Sa: "Mr. Xiao, you and Wang Pingding were friends for many years, and you are not unaware of his situation. Why do you have to put him in a dilemma because of a mere person who is temporarily appointed as a prefectural lieutenant because of a mere person who does not know his identity...?"
If Xiao Sa really told Cao Yong about the idea of deploying reinforcements as Ning Nanyou said, then Cao Yong's situation would be very difficult. If he abandoned the people of Yongzhou because he kept his promises with the royal family, he would be scolded by the people of the world. If he chose the peace of Yongzhou and abandoned the old promises, he would be criticized by civil servants and officials from the court and the country.
Obviously, in the past half month since Xiao Sa entered the border town, he had concealed the identity of the young master of the Cao family of Ning Nanyou. Even the Yongzhou defenders who followed him did not know who he was. Ning Nanyou couldn't help but feel much more relieved when he saw this.
Xiao Sa paused and asked in a low voice: "Is there any better way...you can save the Great Wei border chaos?"
The Yongzhou garrison who spoke for Cao Yong twitched slightly and could not answer the words.
Xiao Sa closed his eyes and waited for the discussions of the generals on the cushion to gradually fade, and then spoke to everyone present: "You are sincere. If you pacify the king and know the feelings of Xiao Yi, you will definitely be very grateful. But... the country is in trouble and you cannot think about it.
Although Liangzhou is not a place under his jurisdiction, it is the people of the Great Wei who have a salary and cannot abandon any land. Although the northern land is not a place where the royal palace has been guarded for generations, the entire Yongzhou is the hometown of the Cao clan. Both of us hope that all the people on this land of Wei can live a safe life.
I dared to assure you that after the border matter is settled, if Your Majesty wants to deal with the King of Punishment because of the Old Testament, he will definitely bear this sin with the King of Punishment..."
Lin Song, the Cao family army, who pacified the king, was well-known in Yongzhou and was deeply loved by the people and military generals. Xiao Sa knew that if the uneasiness in the hearts of the people behind him was not calmed down, he would cause trouble in the future. So he willingly tied himself to Cao Yong and expressed his position. And these generals are no longer stubborn people. Just know how to move them with emotion and reason, and they will naturally be convinced.
Ning Nanyou bent his lips and looked at Xiao Sa's eyes with a hint of respect.
Xiao Sa's ability to say these words resolutely in front of the generals of the capital showed that he had enough trust in pacifying the royal palace, and was willing to share the joys and sorrows with his uncle, and was not afraid that civil officials from all over the government and the country would throw Mars of the party and faction to him.
Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes and thought quietly that it would be worthwhile for his uncle to have such a close friend in his life.
There is a dilemma in life - it is difficult to meet a close friend and a true love. Cao Yong has both, and his family is extremely happy. He is very envious and longs for one day that he can do so.
Dou Yueshan is his lifelong best friend, but not his confidant. And Jiang Chengjia...
A bright smile appeared in his mind, and his heart suddenly felt ache, his lips curled bitterly, and he felt very sad. He loved her and wanted to give everything to her. He didn't want to force her to tell him everything. But by his personality, he was a suspicious person and was very sensitive to betrayal. Especially when he heard the facts with his own ears, his heart was naturally shaken.
Ning Nanyou was very scared. He was afraid that one day he would know that the reason why Jiang Chengjia followed him wholeheartedly was not because of deep affection. Even if he did not deny his love, it was not pure, but people were like this? If you allow yourself to do the same thing, you may not be able to accept others doing it.
Xiao Sa's words made everyone in the room dare not have any objection.
Ning Nan calmed his thoughts and heard the silence of the room. He spoke to break the peace: "Master Xiao Gao Yi, the lower officials sincerely admire him... If the King of Punishment can make His Majesty agree to the Cao family's army to send troops, he can temporarily resolve the predicament of Liangzhou. However, there are eleven small countries around the Great Wei. If the Zhong Dynasty and Zhan Po are included, there will be the Thirteen Kingdoms. In addition, the Qiang family, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Sakha Grassland, and the northern desert, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.
These countries and tribes connect with each other. If they want to capture the border of the Great Wei, they will definitely send strong troops to break through. However, Liangzhou's soldiers are weak, and they may only be able to mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 defenders. Even if the 250,000 troops who came to the capital to help all support the two, they may not be able to withstand the enemy's war... Therefore, in this battle, we need to plan well in order to win a little vitality from the danger."
After his words, he analyzed the current situation very well. All the generals agreed in their hearts.
Xiao Sa looked deep and nodded unconsciously, "What Caozhou Wei said makes sense. It's just that he was ashamed of not having been to Liangzhou and did not understand the terrain of Liangzhou... If you want to think about the defense first, you may be a little difficult."
Ning Nanyou immediately responded: "Mr. Xiao, the official is not talented. He has lived in Liangzhou for two years and is quite familiar with it... He can also prepare a sand table for analysis for the generals. If the official does not abandon it... the official dares to recommend himself and fight for this."
Xiao Sa was very happy to hear him say this, and immediately agreed: "This is of course very good! The talent of Caozhou Wei Renjun is still good... If you can plan for the battle between Liangzhou and Yongzhou... you will definitely get the first place."
His sure-fire appearance made all the generals in the room stunned.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who was the sacred magistrate named Cao, who could praise Xiao Sa, who was already good at military defense and planning, and who was familiar with military tactics?
Only the ten vanguard generals of Changming Army knew what kind of mental strategies the gentleman in front of him had. Like Xiao Sa, they trusted Ning Nanyou extremely and were full of expectations.
Ning Nanyou glanced slightly and said gratefully to Xiao Sa: "Thank you for your trust. Since that's the case... I'll let the officials prepare for it. When tomorrow night, all of you can go to the Zhengyuan Courtyard of the Prefectural Palace... to discuss this matter together."
Xiao Sa nodded repeatedly and said, "It's great. As Caozhou Wei said... Do you guys have any objections?"
Everyone lowered their heads and answered intermittently. Except for Changming Army's vanguard, the rest of them were skeptical and did not believe that the Caozhouwei in front of them could bring any good strategies for the current situation.
Ning Nanyou did not force himself, and smiled and accepted everyone's attitude and said, "If you have any questions, you can point it out after listening to my thoughts tomorrow. Thanks to the appreciation of Governor Xiao, I can gather with you to discuss the affairs of the country. This battle is not a small matter, and I cannot listen to my own words."
The stiff expressions on the faces of the generals were relieved and they all responded: "Caozhou Wei, be polite."
After discussing this matter, Ning Nanyou wanted to expel the guests, but Xiao Sa still had other things to discuss with him alone. So he spoke out to the generals behind him and said, "Everyone... it's getting late, so everyone might as well go back earlier and think about it."
The lords naturally heard what the governor said, and stood up one after another and said, "Mr. Xiao is saying..."
Under the guidance of the servant, a group of generals left the door and headed to the outsider of the Shuiting courtyard.
Seeing that Xiao Sa did not want to leave, Ning Nanyou couldn't help but feel anxious and waited quietly for everyone to leave the master bedroom. The servant who was serving in the room received Ning Nanyou's order and consciously left the room and carefully closed the door.
After the house calmed down again, Ning Nanyou asked, "Uncle Xiao...you stayed here, but what do you want to say to me?"
Xiao Sa twisted his body, rubbed his sore knees, and held his spirits up. He said to the young husband in front of him: "June... How long will you stay in the north?"
Ning Nanyou was slightly stunned and frowned: "Now..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Sa snatched the right to speak: "The situation in the north is not good. The news of Deng Qing's disappearance should be spread to the capital soon. Although Junhou used the identity of the merchant Shao Qian and the youngest son of the pacification king in the border town, the old foxes in the capital...especially your father, Prince Huai... may be able to climb these clues and find you..."
Ning Nan held down his jumping gaze and his expression gradually dimmed: "Uncle Xiao...what do you want to say?"
He was unstable and his expression was difficult to distinguish between light and dark.
