"What I mean is that our mission in the next stage is to encircle and suppress the Juyi Gang and win over the Tianlong Village. This is the first stage. In the second stage, we will join forces with the Tianlong Village to destroy the Black Wind Village."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
People around were stunned.
"Your Majesty, let us bandits join forces?"
Liu Hongtao asked puzzledly.[
"Yes, according to the information I got from going up to the mountain this time, Heifeng Village and Tianlong Village have deep grievances. Encircling and suppressing the Juyi Gang is just to scare the monkeys. Our goal is Heifeng Village. And only Heifeng Village is ours.
The real enemy."
Liu Xia said firmly.
"Your Majesty's plan is indeed unique. If we can win over Tianlong Village, we will have one less powerful enemy and one more helper. When the time comes, we will indeed be much more relaxed. However, Your Majesty, you are sure that the people in Tianlong Village will surrender to us.
?”
Song Yuanshan asked doubtfully.
Although the Tianlong Village is powerful in Yuntianling, the leader of the Tianlong Village does not have the final say alone. If they are asked to issue orders, many people below him may not do it.
"As for certainty, I have seven levels. The remaining three levels are just to see how ruthless you are when you destroy the Juyi Gang."
Liu Xia said.
"But Your Majesty, this Tianlong Village is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if they are calmed down by the imperial edict, they will be in trouble sooner or later."
Liu Hongtao suggested cautiously.
"I know this. But at this time, one more enemy means we have to sacrifice more people, and one more friend means we will lose a few brothers. After the Black Wind Stronghold is destroyed, the Tianlong Stronghold will be isolated for reinforcements.
Besides, let Tianlong Village attack Heifeng Village. After the attack, they will probably have nothing left. By then, if they are obedient, we will leave them a way to survive. If they are disobedient, it will be easy to deal with them."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
At this time, the generals in the big tent all looked sideways.
It seems that Liu Xia is young, but absolutely ruthless.
This method of defeating the enemy without fighting is the best strategy. It can not only reduce casualties but also buy time.
As a result, many generals nodded.
"Do you have any other opinions?"
Liu Xia asked at this time.
"I think the prince's method is the best. I will act according to the prince's instructions."
At this time, Song Yuanshan was the first to laugh.[
At that moment, the three generals all agreed.
Then they discussed some specific details, and after about an hour, everyone stood up and left.
"General Duan, please stay."
Just when everyone was about to go out, Liu Xia suddenly said.
Duan Lingxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Xia calling him, and then waited there with his hands behind his back.
After everyone left, Liu Xia said with a smile: "Brother Duan, are you still adapting to Qiu County?"
"I have been a military camp commander since I was a child. I have endured hardships. You don't need to worry about it."
Duan Lingxiao said disdainfully without looking at Liu Xia.
"Oh, in that case, I'll get straight to the point. The suppression of bandits this time is of great importance, so I'd better say some things upfront."
Liu Xia saw his virtue and said coldly.
"Haha, if you have something to say, Your Majesty, speak directly."
"Simple, I just want to ask you one thing, will you go all out to suppress the bandits this time?"
Liu Xia asked calmly.
"I don't understand what Your Majesty means. I am here to suppress bandits, and Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief. I will naturally handle your orders. Your Majesty, don't worry, I am a person who can distinguish between public and private affairs."
Duan Lingxiao glanced at Liu Xia and sneered.
"It turns out that you know that I am the commander-in-chief, so I am very happy. But I think your attitude is not that of distinguishing between public and private matters."
Liu Xia said slightly angrily.
"Huh, what do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Duan Lingxiao raised his head and asked.
"You know what I mean. The matter between Lingling and I is our own business. If you don't like it, I have the right to interfere, but please don't show me the legacy of my uncle in front of me. From now on.
From now on, you pack your things and go back to Longdu to be your young master. Without you, I would still be suppressing bandits."
Immediately, Liu Xia became furious.
Duan Lingxiao was stunned.[
To be honest, Duan Lingxiao didn't want to work with Liu Xia for a minute, and he was still a subordinate, so he wished he could leave early.
However, he was ordered to suppress bandits, and he returned to Longdu alone in despair. He would have to be scolded to death by Prince Rui.
Moreover, this will definitely make a joke. How will he see anyone in the future?
It's just that Liu Xia is talking about this, is it really possible for him to lick his face and plead for mercy?
For a moment, Duan Lingxiao was stunned, not knowing what to say.
In the final analysis, he did not have the courage to confront Liu Xia because, in terms of cultivation, he was no match for Liu Xia. Moreover, Liu Xia was the military governor at the moment and had the power to seize power at any cost. If he dared to fall out with Liu Xia in the Chinese army's headquarters,
That is a serious crime of rebellion. Liu Xia is not sure how to deal with him if the handle falls into Liu Xia's hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Lingxiao could only kneel on the ground and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was confused for a moment. I will never do it again in the future."
"Humph, I hope so, why don't you get out!"
Liu Xia said angrily.
Duan Lingxiao could only hurriedly come out of the tent in disgrace.
Liu Xia looked at his back and couldn't help but reveal a sneer.
At the zenith of the moon, within the territory of Yuntian Ridge, it was pitch black.
However, in a mountain col at the southern foot of Yuntian Mountain, the lights were brightly lit.
There are many bandits guarding the area around the mountain col, and the entire area of the mountain col is surrounded by water.
There is a very dilapidated ancient temple in the mountain col. This temple is dedicated to the local mountain god. However, it has been repaired for a long time and now looks very messy.
Inside the temple, a gorgeous lantern glowed with dazzling light, like daylight.
At this moment, Huang Long, who was sitting on the floor, couldn't help coughing twice. Against the background of the stone lamp, his cheeks looked particularly pale.
Obviously, he suffered a big loss in the duel with Liu Xia a few days ago, and his injury has not healed yet.
"Haha, Chief Huang, your injury is not a problem, is it?"
The person who spoke was a short fat man. He was wearing a gray team-collared shirt. He had two mustaches at the corners of his mouth. His eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled. This man was Zhao Wenzhi, the steward of the Juyi Gang.
Known as the Smiling Tiger.
The Juyi Gang is a copycat alliance, so the manager is the top manager.
"Haha, I'm not in the way."
Huang Long smiled sarcastically.
"snort."
At this time, sitting on the other side of Huanglong, a middle-aged man with a strong body, strong cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes snorted coldly.
This man has a very ferocious scar on his cheek, and he looks very fierce.
This person is Qian Zhen, the leader of Tianlong Village.
Obviously, Qian Zhen and Huang Long are not getting along with each other. They have been fighting in Yuntian Ridge for so many years, and both sides have suffered heavy blood debts. Naturally, they will not look down upon him.
"Ahem, you two, Mr. Huang summoned the two of you today. It is really imperative for the imperial court to suppress the bandits, and we are imminent. I hope that we can put aside the grievances between each other and resist the imperial army with all our strength. I don't know.
What do you two think?"
Huang Long coughed twice and said straight to the point.
"The imperial court carries out sieges every year. I think there is no need to make a fuss this time. Lord Huang Zhai, please raise your arms and we will all follow suit. We will fully cooperate with Lord Huang Zhai."
At this time, Zhao Wenzhi hurriedly smiled.
Seeing that Qian Zhen didn't speak, Huang Long asked curiously: "What's Qian Zhai's plan?"
"Huang Long, let's get straight to the point. Every year when the imperial court suppresses bandits, you send us to take the lead, while you hide in the mountains and watch the fun. This time, I won't fall for your trick again."
Qian Zhen said dismissively.
"Master Qian Zhai, don't worry. Today is different from the past. The general sent by the imperial court this time is Liu Xia, who destroyed the Liang family in the northwest, who is now Prince Weiyuan of the Onmyoji of today's rank. This person is not an easy one to deal with.
The characters are very different from those previous warlords.
Ah. We can't take it lightly. Therefore, I will send troops to cooperate with you two to resist the imperial court's bandit-suppressing army with all our strength. As long as we spend three to five months with them, they will retreat. By then, the entire Yuanping Prefecture will
, or is it not our territory?”
Huang Long smiled hurriedly.
"You sound nice, but I don't believe you. This time, unless you put all your people on the front line, I will not cooperate with you."
Qian Zhen said disdainfully.
When Huang Long heard this, he couldn't help showing a trace of anger on his face. He stood up and smiled lightly: "Master Qian, this Liu Xia is not an ordinary person. When the Liang family was destroyed in the northwest, he sowed discord and colluded.
Lian Heng. This is his most common method. Such as
If I'm not wrong, Liu Xia will definitely follow the same pattern this time. First, he will destroy the Juyi Gang at all costs, and then Zhao'an will deal with me. If we don't join forces now, there will only be a dead end. Could it be that the leader of Qian Village has already cooperated with me?
Has Liu Xia reached an agreement?"
"Huang, please stop spouting nonsense here. Even if I die, I, Qian Zhen, will never have any contact with those dog officials again. But your relationship with the court is ambiguous, so I suspect that this is a trap set up by the leader of the Huang village.
Come and frame us!”
Qian Zhen immediately slammed the table, stood up and said angrily.
"Qian Zhen, I don't understand what you are saying."
Huang Long sneered.
"Really? The soil and water around Qiu County are barren. The brothers of the village leader Zhao and I worked hard to get enough food and clothing. But look at your village. The food supply is sufficient and the soldiers are well-armed. If you rely on
If you want to rob your family and rob your house, how about all this wealth? This time, don’t expect me to be your shield. Our Tianlong Village will die together with those dog officials of the imperial court, but we will not cooperate with villains like you."
Having said this, Qian Zhen walked towards the door.
Huang Long couldn't help but feel murderous in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Qian Zhen, as long as you step out of this threshold today, once the officers and soldiers withdraw, I will leave you alone in Tianlong Village."
At this time, Qian Zhen slowly turned around, looked at Huang Long with a sneer and said: "You and I are both bandits, so stop pretending to be bandits and scare me! It's not certain who will die this time!"
Having said this, Qian Zhen left the mountain temple without looking back.
