Chapter 787 Dignity Above the Sword
I am most afraid of sudden silence.
The clouds in the sky floated motionless, the wind stopped at this moment, and time seemed to stand still at this instant.
Everyone's eyes were on the Uighur envoy.
The Uighur envoy didn't feel Jiang Tangwen's murderous gaze at all. He clapped his hands to shake off the dust on his hands and tilted his head to act cute.
"Why are you looking at me? No need to thank me, just call me a good person."
The Karahan envoy @%*, his mind was in a mess, God, their Karahan Dynasty has made it! Yunzhou didn't come to trouble them, but they dared to take the initiative to trouble Yunzhou!
The Gaochang envoy dropped raisins all over the floor, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist. Attack Yunzhou?! Can Gaochang do it?
The Khotanese envoy was confused. How could he say such big news in public? Especially since Su Yunyan from Yunzhou was present!
The Tibetan envoy, who had been watching the show calmly, was about to burst into tears! In order to ensure that the news would not be discovered by Yunzhou, the four countries were sneaky and put in a lot of manpower and effort, just to catch the Duke of Yun off guard at the moment the plan started.
The result, the result! The Uighur envoy said it lightly.
No, you are sick, what good will this do you? !
Jiang Tangwen's eyes were grim, and he looked at the Uighur envoy as if he wanted to tear him apart and eat him.
Are the Uighur envoys afraid?
He was not afraid at all, but felt extremely comfortable.
What’s the matter? You, Jiang Tangwen, have been running around, fooling this and fooling that, cooking a big pot of rice and a big pot of meat, and inviting almost all the surrounding countries, but leaving behind the Uighurs!
The Uighurs did not dare to overturn the table for fear of arousing public anger, but it was still okay to cause some minor trouble to the Western Xia.
So many countries are surrounding Yunzhou and launching surprise attacks. Do they have any shame?
If you have the guts, just fight with real weapons. It would be best if you fight to the death and let the Uighurs gain the advantage in the end.
The corners of the Uighur envoy's mouth curled up high, and he couldn't suppress it. He thought the fire was not strong enough, so he added more wood on it: "Oh, look at my mouth, I just can't control it! I'm sorry, Lord Jiang. But this matter has been known by Madam Su and others. How do you plan to deal with it? Do you want to kill them to silence them?"
The Uighur envoy used his hand as if it were a knife and pointed it at his neck, his eyes full of anticipation and provocation.
Should I kill him or not?
If she is not killed, Madam Su will definitely pass the news back to Yunzhou. Yunzhou is on alert and this will be a tough battle.
If she was killed, Xixia would have no way to explain to Yunzhou. If she was just detained, there would still be room for negotiation. If she was killed, according to Duke Yun's temper, even if she tied up all the people in the Xixia royal family, she would not be able to kill them all.
Either way, it's good news for the Uighurs.
The Uighur envoy was very happy, thinking that he was such a smart man!
Mei Tang and Su Yunyan were breathing heavily, their hearts beating so fast that they almost jumped out of their chests.
First, I feel scalp tingling for this plan. The three kingdoms of Da Zhou, Xixia, Tubo, Goryeo, and Gaochang surrounded Yunzhou geographically!
The second reason is that their lives all hang by a thread!
Mei Tang's back was soaked with cold sweat. If all countries really launched an attack at the same time, Yunzhou really wouldn't have enough troops to defend it!
Previously, the defense focus of Yunzhou had always been in the Guangde Prefecture area. In order to move south, the Gu family army defending Western Xia was transferred back to Yunzhou.
Su Yunyan was also panicking, with only one thought in her mind: rush out! Spread this news to A Niang at all costs!
"Wait!" Mei Tang held Su Yunyan, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "My Lord must have made some arrangements."
Su Yunyan didn't believe it. If her mother knew about this, she would definitely tell her and Lord Wang.
Mei Tang's mind was working at high speed. After carefully sorting out the messy clues, he discovered that Duke Yun had been on guard for a long time!
"My Lord has sent people to Xixia and Goryeo."
Hearing this, Su Yunyan was so upset that she couldn't breathe. Her mother had entrusted her with such an important task, but she had messed it up!
Mei Tang's eyes were as bright as stars: "As long as you come to Xixia, it will be a success! Everything goes according to plan and step by step, that's the best. But like now, it's even better. I forgot to tell you that the Duke of Yun sent Mr. Zhuge to deal with the Xie family in Yongzhou!"
Su Yunyan blinked in confusion. What does that mean? I don't understand.
"Haha, you don't have to understand, just know that everything is under the control of Duke Yun."
Duke Yun was unaware of the conspiracy, but she was always wary of Western Xia and Goryeo.
That's why she made such a big fuss to clean up the Xie family.
One is to flex its muscles to neighboring countries and warn them not to act rashly.
The second is to clean up the interior to deal with emergencies.
Third, she planned to use the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun as the first line of defense to protect Yunzhou!
At the same time, using Yongzhou as an excuse, he frequently mobilized troops.
Unconsciously, the original system with the south as the center, which was mainly offensive and supplemented by defense, turned into a six-sided defense system.
The General of the West, the General of the Central, the General of the North, as well as Li Mingde who is stationed closely in the south, and the Duke of Yun who is in charge of Yunzhou!
With the help of firearms, they can all stand on their own. In addition, the counties of Yunzhou carried out large-scale infrastructure construction last winter.
There are dirt and cement roads that extend in all directions, as well as tricycles and wooden track carriages, so both troops and logistics can be mobilized quickly!
What a big chess game!
It’s really a big chess game!
Mei Tang was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to look up to the sky and shout, "You bunch of scum! You think you can plot against Duke Yun, but you don't know that you can't even fly out of Duke Yun's Five Finger Mountain!"
At this moment, Mei Tang was ready to die, with an overwhelming courage!
He stood up and looked down on everyone: "Duke Yun often said that dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of artillery fire. Jiang Tangwen, if you have the guts, kill me today! Today, I shed my blood in Xixia, and one day, Xixia will bury its country with me!"
Aren't you the most vindictive? As long as you succeed in taking revenge, all the grudges will be gone.
The revenge of Gu's army is remembered by you.
Then follow your custom. Yunzhou will definitely avenge the murderer who killed me! But the extent of the revenge is up to Yunzhou.
Jiang Tangwen's eyebrows twitched. Mei Tang was possessed by evil spirits? !
The Uighur envoy couldn't help but remind Mei Tang: "Didn't you understand? They are going to besiege Yunzhou. After your death, it is still a question whether Yunzhou can be preserved. How can we avenge you?"
Mei Tang waved his sleeves, raised his chin slightly, and snorted coldly: "You are just an ant, and you dare to try to shake an elephant! You don't know your own limitations."
The Gaochang envoy...was offended.
The Karakhan envoy...was offended.
The Khotanese envoy...was offended.
They know that they are not good at Chao Wang, but you dare to say that Yun Zhou can fight against seven, or even eighty or ninety... Who is so arrogant?!
The Tibetan envoy stood up, folded his hands across his chest, and said, "Your Tang Dynasty is so prosperous, but you still can't do anything to us Tibetans. You have to send several princesses to marry us. Your Yunzhou occupies less than one-fifth of the land of the Tang Dynasty, and you still dare to speak nonsense here!"
