Chapter 570

Great Sui, Luoyang City.

At this time, Huang Shang had already arrived in Luoyang of Great Sui and had already met Yuwen Tuo and the Great Sui ruler, Xiao Meiniang.

In order to successfully win over Great Sui and Great Tang to support Northern Song, to shorten the time to win over allies, and to let Great Sui and Great Tang know the importance Northern Song placed on this alliance.

This time Huang Shang did not send a minister as an envoy to contact Great Sui and Great Tang, but came to Great Sui himself.

The reason Huang Shang chose Great Sui first between Great Sui and Great Tang.

Was because in Huang Shang's view, although Great Tang's national strength was superior to Great Sui's, in terms of high-end martial artists, Great Sui far exceeded Great Tang.

And Great Sui had two treasures of heaven and earth that made it onto the Divine Weapon Ranking—the Xuanyuan Sword and the Donghuang Bell.

Therefore, Great Sui's national fortune must be very prosperous, and Huang Shang wanted to use Great Sui's national fortune and strength to "797" let Northern Song overcome this predicament.

Huang Shang understood in his heart that there were irreconcilable contradictions between Great Tang and Great Sui.

So he could only win over one ally, either Great Sui or Great Tang, by coming here this time.

The reason he came directly to Great Sui as soon as he arrived was that if Great Sui agreed to his request to go to Northern Song for rescue, Huang Shang would not go to Great Tang again, but would directly take the reinforcements borrowed from Great Sui to Northern Song for support.

After all, Northern Song could already be said to have reached the point of being at the end of its rope.

Naturally, the more time he could save, the better.

After Huang Shang arrived at the Great Sui border, looking at the prosperous scene of Great Sui, Huang Shang's eyes were filled with envy.

The people here did not have to suffer from the ravages of war, and after Xiao Meiniang took power, Great Sui's national strength had developed greatly; plus the reasons of the Xuanyuan Sword and the Donghuang Bell, Great Sui had the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

In Great Sui, there had not been any natural disasters for many years, so the people had good harvests every year without natural or man-made disasters, and the people could be warm and fed.

These scenes were exactly the future life of the Northern Song people that Huang Shang had fantasized about.

After Huang Shang met Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Meiniang, feeling the power not lower than his own cultivation on the two of them, as well as the blessing of faint Heavenly Dao fortune, a trace of envy appeared in Huang Shang's eyes.

"I wonder what business Mr. Huang Shang has in coming to Great Sui this time?"

Xiao Meiniang looked at Huang Shang under the main hall, a kind smile appearing on her face.

As the ruler of Great Sui, Xiao Meiniang had long known about Northern Song's current situation, and she had also put some of her energy into Northern Song during this period.

In Xiao Meiniang's view, Northern Song would perish sooner or later.

And a martial artist like Huang Shang, who had high cultivation and a good brain, was worth her winning over.

Hearing Xiao Meiniang's words, Huang Shang reacted from being intoxicated by the prosperity of Great Sui's national strength.

For someone who had reached Huang Shang's realm, he did not choose to do any extra things to pave the way in advance, but directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"My purpose in coming to Great Sui this time is only one: I want your country to send troops to support Northern Song."

"Let Northern Song successfully overcome this catastrophe."

Hearing Huang Shang's words, Xiao Meiniang did not feel any surprise, while Yuwen Tuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yuwen Tuo did not expect that Huang Shang would actually come to Great Sui in person to be a lobbyist.

In Yuwen Tuo's heart, doing things like being a lobbyist should absolutely not be done by a country's guardian; even if the predicament their country faced was severe, what Huang Shang, as a guardian, should do was to stay in Northern Song and stabilize the situation in Northern Song.

Instead of running to other countries to win over strong reinforcements; however, if Huang Shang came to win over support in person, it would indeed reduce some unnecessary trouble to some extent.

As a strong person in the same realm, if it were at ordinary times, if Huang Shang came to beg him for help, Yuwen Tuo would naturally give Huang Shang some face.

But now the matter Huang Shang requested already involved the national fortune of the two countries, so Yuwen Tuo would naturally not agree easily.
