The king behind the empress

Chapter 291 Countdown to the Destruction of the Family

Hearing Mo Zizai's confirmation of his guess, Yang Yanzhang's face couldn't help but be a bit dignified. He pondered for a while before slowly saying: "My lord, is it too hasty to expose that now?"

"It's not too early."

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

"Now, the Yuzhi army has suddenly shown such a strong combat power. It must not be hidden. Since it has been exposed, it is better to use it to control those surrendered soldiers and let them use their residual heat."

Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment, feeling that what Mo Zizai said was not unreasonable. Others may not know the strength of Yu Zhijun, but the one who has been secretly planning to overthrow Da Zhou must know it well.

Now that Yu Zhijun's strength has suddenly skyrocketed after he turned into physical training, he will definitely find a way to figure out the reason, but judging from that person's method, after paying attention to it, he wants to find out the reason behind Yu Zhijun's soaring strength, It shouldn't be too difficult.

So, after thinking for a while, Yang Yanzhang slowly nodded and said: "My lord is right. If this is the case, then I will agree with this approach."

Shi Zhipei looked at the two people who seemed to be playing charades in a daze, and couldn't figure out what they were talking about, but from the conversation between the two, it was clear that Mo Zizai seemed to have a way to control the troops who surrendered. means?
This idea flashed in Shi Zhipei's mind, and Shi Zhipei threw it aside. What kind of means does Mo Zizai have? It doesn't matter whether those surrendering soldiers listen to the order. Does Nanjun want to implement the matter he cares about? military control.

Yang Yanzhang won't hurt his back because of his words, what can't be broken can't be erected, those who are broken are the people of Nanjun, and they let Nanjun break and then stand up, has he considered how much damage this will cause Nanjun?

Even if the military management goes well, the whole Nanjun will inevitably shed blood, and many innocent people will definitely die by then, so Shi Zhipei cannot agree to this matter anyway.

"My lord, it is absolutely impossible to do military affairs."

Shi Zhipei didn't care whether it would make Mo Zizai unhappy or not, and directly retorted: "Military control is a last resort, and it will do more harm than good to the people of Nanjun, and it is far from that time now, so the lower officials firmly oppose it." Implement military control."

"I know that this move is very harmful to the people of Nanjun."

Mo Zizai glanced at Shi Zhipei, and said lightly, "However, for Da Zhou, its advantages outweigh its disadvantages."

"..."

Shi Zhipei opened his mouth, he didn't know how to answer, the two people's thinking angles were fundamentally different, so how can we talk about it together.

Mo Zizai only cared about Da Zhou, if he could make Da Zhou settle down, then he wouldn't mind sacrificing some people.

Although Yang Yanzhang looks gentle, but he was the second in command of the intelligence department of Da Zhou before, and he even did the job of the top in very often. Countless spies have died in his hands over the years Well, the word kindness and softness has nothing to do with him.

So strictly speaking, among the three people, Shi Zhipei is just a good person. Only he cares most about the people of Nanjun and the people's livelihood in Nanjun, while the other two care about how to get Nanjun back to the court as quickly as possible. under control to prevent this from happening again.

The ideas of both parties are correct, but one is for the people and the other is for the country. Now that the two have conflicts in terms of priorities, it is natural that one side will give in.

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

"My lord, even those small families can be cleaned up together, and military control can also be implemented."

Shi Zhipei seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a firm tone: "However, when doing these things, the lower officials still suggest to measure the land first."

"The reason why Xiaguan still insists on this plan is for two reasons."

"One, because the officials from all over the place have not arrived, so while measuring the land, at the same time planning to attack those aristocratic families, there is no conflict between the two."

"Secondly, we are the court after all, not traitors, and we must not lose our righteousness."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhipei saw what Mo Zizai wanted to say, so he continued to say: "My lord, even if you don't think about your own reputation, you should at least consider the reputation of the Habayashi Army and the Yuzhi Army, right? "

"You were concerned about the reputation of the Yuzhi Army and the Habayashi Army before, and you didn't let them participate in the house raid. Don't you care about it now?"

Hearing this, Mo Zizai was silent for a while. He really didn't care much about what Shi Zhipei said earlier. After all, he was responsible for the notoriety, which had little influence on the court, but the latter made Mo Zizai hesitate.

Once the two armies of Yuzhi Army and Habayashi Army massacred those families or civilians for no reason, unless they change their numbers in the future, this bad reputation cannot be washed away no matter what.

Although Mo Zizai has never cared about such things as reputation, this thing is quite important after all. He doesn't care, which doesn't mean that Yu Zhijun and Habayashi Army don't care too, so it's best to avoid it if possible.

Therefore, when he and Yang Yanzhang looked at each other, and found that the other party's eyes were also moved, he couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, and said: "Master Shi's words are justified, and this king has nothing to say."

"Since that's the case, let's follow Master Shi's plan."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai said solemnly: "Three days, I will give Lord Shi three days at most. During these three days, the Yuzhi Army and the Habayashi Army will fully cooperate with any actions of Lord Shi."

"This king also happens to use this time to recruit those surrendered soldiers. After three days, no matter what Master Shi plans to do, this king will do it directly. How does Lord Shi feel?"

"Three days?"

After counting the time in his mind, Shi Zhipei said, "Three days is enough, thank you for your kindness."

In these three days, besides making those aristocratic families jump out, he can also make many additional arrangements. Even if Mo Zizai imposes military control on the whole county, he can also reduce the casualties in Nanjun.

And Mo Zizai obviously knew what he was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have been given three days, so he was grateful.

"Master Shi, you are welcome."

Mo Zizai shook his head and said: "After all, you are also for Da Zhou. Although our ideas are different, our goals are the same after all. Therefore, it is nothing to give Mr. Shi some convenience."

"Anyway, I still want to thank you, my lord."

Shi Zhipei bowed and saluted, seeing that Mo Zizai meant to bring tea to the guests, he said goodbye with Yang Yanzhang and left Mo Zizai's residence.

After leaving the gate, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "Master Shi is so courageous, this is the first time I've seen someone make the prince back down."

The three days that Mo Zizai promised would surely save many small families, so Yang Yanzhang said that Mo Zizai backed down.

"After all, the prince has a heart for all people, so it's understandable to choose to give in, not to mention that those small families didn't offend him very much, so it doesn't make much difference to the prince whether to let him go or not."

Shi Zhipei praised Mo Zizai behind his back somewhat modestly, and then said: "Time is running out, I won't chat with General Yang anymore, I have to go to the Yulin Army to ask General Wei to borrow some manpower to arrange a land survey Well, let me say goodbye first."
