Wu Mu thought to himself: What major matters can they have? Needless to say, it is also to pave the way for the next anti-Senate activities. After all, we have put a lot of pressure on Liang Cunhou and various local forces recently, and they must have something.
Notice that this meeting is mostly to discuss some countermeasures or decide on some important decision...
He asked: "Is it possible to catch them all directly at the alliance meeting?"
Yang Cao shook his head: "The post is just a gathering point. The location on each post is different. When you go to the place, you will be blindfolded by a black cloth and escorted by a dedicated person. Each participant can only bring one nephew and disciple. Long-distance tracking, the enemy situation
, the terrain is unknown, and it is impossible for a temporary organized assault to succeed."
Wu Mu asked: "What are your plans?"
Yang Cao hesitated for a moment and finally revealed his plan: "Punch it in! You can never see clearly through the window paper."
"Who to send? Isn't it too risky?"
"Xu Tong, he has never shown himself in front of outsiders. He is relatively calm. I don't trust others."
"Must we send our own people? Through what channels?"
Yang Cao nodded and said: "There are many things that laymen cannot see, understand, and cannot distinguish the importance of the information. Time is too tight and there are no other suitable candidates. The channel is through Li Baiqing, who was one of the internal agents when Guangzhou broke into the city.
, according to our request, he lurked after the city was destroyed, and then moved back to live in Laoliwei. He was never exposed. One of his sons was secretly recruited into the city government under a pseudonym, and it was not made public. He is very reliable and can definitely not be a two-faced person.
Lao Liwei is a Dazhuangzi, and there are more than 40 young people who have joined the Tianmen Taoist Association, and they are all under his sect. Xu Tong will accompany him to participate in this alliance as his nephew from another place. As for the danger..."
Speaking of this, Yang Cao glanced at Xu Tong next to him. Xu Tong smiled and said, "Isn't that what we do."
Wu Mu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Be prepared and pay attention to safety."
Outside Tieliang Temple, Taoist Mu Shi looked deeply at the layers of reeds in front of him, mute and speechless. Darkness spread out endlessly in the twilight, wiping out Taoist Mu Shi's figure Xiang Wan, like a lurking devil, waiting to choose someone.
bite.
This place is an "accumulated sand" in the middle water network of the Pearl River Delta, which is very remote. Many years ago, some good men and women came from nowhere, and built a small temple here, and invited a few monks to worship the gods and Buddhas.
However, over time, the temple was abandoned and the monks in the temple were scattered. Not even the Buddha statues remained, and only three temples remained. Even the locals did not know the original name of the temple, so they only called it "Tieliang Temple".
Tieliang Temple is located deep in a sandbank, surrounded by rivers, bays and bays, covered with reeds and mangroves. If it were not for the local people who knew the rivers well, they would not even be able to find the way into the temple. Therefore, it was a banditry many years ago.
A good place for Dharma practice has turned into a bandit's den.
Gu Cambodia
The night has fallen. In the side hall of Tieliang Temple, there is an old table with several dishes of meat and vegetables and two jars of bad wine. Taoist priest Mu Shi and a long-faced man are sitting on the left and right. The man is less than forty, with a strong body, a gloomy face and a calm demeanor.
Taoist Mu Shi stood up, holding the pot in his right hand, and holding the sleeve of his right hand slightly with his left hand. He leaned forward and poured a cup for the big man first, and then filled it for himself. He raised his hands flat to his chest and said respectfully: "Thank you for this."
Brother Yun planned and recommended me to Commander Xue Zuo before this happened. I have no respect for you, but please drink this cup to the full."
However, Yun Ting only raised the wine glass with one hand, drank it in one gulp, and said calmly: "Yun is a useless person who resigned when a vacancy opened. He should not be praised by the Taoist priest. If Mr. Liang hadn't given him a helping hand and provided him with food that day, I'm afraid that Some of our brothers have no food and clothing, or they gather in the mountains and forests, or they become the ghosts of the thieves. The Taoist priest is looking for me with the young master's token, and the young master has further entrusted me in his letter. Yun must do his best to help. My brothers are few and far between. It is not easy to gather dozens of brothers and sisters. Don’t throw life and death lightly. Don’t get involved with me when it comes to killing. You must say the ugly things in front of your head. The Taoist Master must be clear in his heart."
Taoist Mu Shi smiled slightly and said: "I'm overthinking it. I didn't say that Brother Yun's commander was spying on the camp. I only said that the tens of thousands of troops under the command of the king that day were wiped out by the Kun people. How could I dare to have such an idea? It all depends on Yun this time. Brother, through mediation and liaison, brought in Tianmen Dao Shenhui, Buddha Xianghui, Yiyu Hunyuan Dao, Qingshizhai and other righteous people to achieve this alliance. By then, all the Taoists will unite as one and shake the place. ."
Yun Ting just looked at Taoist Mu Shi coldly and said: "To tell you the truth, Yun thinks that it is not appropriate to move lightly now. Nowadays, Guangfu's eyes and ears are strict and cobwebs are thick. In the past, many old people who were retained in various government departments inside and outside the city were dismissed and replaced. , check, get, all kinds of news gradually stopped, and the Kun people came one after another. Mr. Liang and I wrote in the letter that this time the funding was heavy, but it might be difficult to entrust him with it in the future. I am afraid that his actions have been investigated by the Kun thieves. , I think the gentleman's letter seems to know that things cannot be done, and has the intention of entrusting him with his own integrity. Since those of us who are clinging to him feel that things have become difficult to reconcile, it is better to disperse here. This way we can still save our own families. "
Hearing this, Taoist Mu Shi stiffened slightly and suddenly sneered, saying: "This is a big fallacy. The young master has realized through the ambition of the thief and wolf son for a long time. He has been preparing for it for many years. The place where he is hiding is dark and secluded. Now is the time to show his strength." Second brother, why would you behave in such a decadent manner? You and Kun Ren know each other very well, and you have also seen the writings of Mr. Liang. Although you understand the shortcomings and strengths of Kun Ren, you always exaggerate his abilities. In the eyes of a poor man, you seem to call him a thief. I was so frightened that I lost all my energy. Although Mr. Liang is now trapped in Guangfu, but now that the chess game has just begun, there is no need for him to personally preside over it. Mr. Liang has entrusted all matters and relations to me. Brother Yun can relax. , There is a stone man in the court who leans on Mount Tai, and there is Brother Yun in the countryside who can help him. Everything is still possible. It is the time to show his ambition, how can he be depressed. When Brother Kuang was in Feiyu, he stayed with Kunren. If you don't serve the imperial court with hatred, where will you go? Could it be that you hope that the Kun people will pay attention to you? What Brother Yun did was secretive and secretive. He worked as an intermediary for Mr. Liang, contacting the village elders, village leaders, and meeting leaders, and found out. Uncover the post, explore the relationship, and there is a life in hand. The incident will only happen sooner or later. There is no luck. Where will you be buried then? Besides, the rest of your life will be busy, can Brother Yun be willing to do so? Now Brother Yun will just die and leave. There are two ways. Now Brother Yun and I point out this clear path. Brother Yun should cherish it. As the Kun people say, "Crisis and opportunity coexist." The imperial court cites meritorious service and rewards, but secretly there is a stone man operating on his behalf. Not to mention reinstatement, a step up to the next level is just around the corner."
Yun Ting lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly under the dim oil lamp. The hand holding the wine glass stood still in the air. After a long silence, he sighed softly and said: "It goes without saying, I will do my best, just It is not easy to maintain relationships with all kinds of people. Mr. Liang and I have been in this situation for several years, so the Taoist Master must be careful and cherish all the hard work I have put in."
Taoist Mu Shi smiled and said: "Brother Yun, Mr. Liang and I used to study the records of Tian Qing Guangwen in the room. Although we discussed the relationship between Kun and Kun, although the Kun people acted cautiously, the overseas barbarians who pretended to be descendants of the Song Dynasty were not completely innocent.
The flaw, Brother Yun is familiar with the relationship, and he will definitely know it after thinking about it."
As he spoke, he took a bite of food, took a sip of wine, and continued: "The Kun people have sharp armor, but they are not very skilled. If they are scattered across Guangdong, it will be like throwing sand into the sea. It will be difficult to attack a fortress in the field, just like hedgehogs gathering in one place."
However, it is difficult to control the countryside. The Kun soldiers waste money, food, medicine, and armor. The soldiers they recruit can be equal to the cost of ten soldiers in our court. Now the Kun people send fake officials to roam the countryside for ten days, saying
For the grain collection team, they rarely recruited the common people, but only forced the scholars, gentry, and grain households. Since ancient times, the imperial power has been no less than Lijia. The villagers have been governed by patriarchal laws.
Without saving anything, the people in the countryside are boiling with resentment, and the wealthy gentry are all worried and confused. At this time, we can use our hands to stir up trouble for him."
Yun Ting nodded slightly and said: "Whenever I talk to you about benevolence, we always agree on this, that is, we should do things sooner rather than later. We should shake the foundation of the benefactor when it is not yet stable. The longer the time goes by, the harder it will be to get things done.
, because the Kun people are the best at deceiving people's hearts, but when they first arrived, the foolish men and rogue women did not benefit from it, the officials and cadres had not yet been sent to their posts, their authority had not been established, and their kindness had not been extended. Moreover, the Kun thieves had a notorious reputation when they conquered Guangfu. I
After publicizing it vigorously and frightening the villagers, and then using benevolence and righteousness and Shinto teachings to convert the ignorant people, and gathering together with heroes from all walks of life in the meeting, in the mountains, and in the village, and connecting with the big families in the village, they can also show one or two. If time delays,
The common people will inevitably be confused by this. When the time comes, the Kun people will recruit a large number of soldiers and send out officials. Once the foundation is solid, there will be no place for us and others to stay."
At this point, Yun Ting shook his head again and said: "That being said, the so-called accumulation of accumulated strength is like floating duckweed. Now that the imperial troops have not arrived and the opportunity has not come, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve success.
It's too forced to start now."
Taoist Mu Shi gritted his teeth and said sternly: "As you said, time is not waiting for me. We can give it a try at this time. When the thieves slow down and clean up the place, I am afraid that the ice will melt away and the snow will melt.
Now they have disappeared, and now they falsely claim that the imperial troops are coming, and start a war, just pull anyone on board the boat, and take the relatives and villagers away. This group of people has no way out, they can only follow.
Wait for me to find a way to death. Even if the thieves suppress you, they will also go on a killing spree and fill the countryside with killings. The heavier the killing, the deeper the hatred will be, and the more people will hate you. Only by muddying the water can we do something good."
Yun Ting's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Taoist Mu Shi with stern eyes and said, "It's a good idea from the Taoist Master."
Taoist Mu Shi pretended to be compassionate, and sighed softly: "I am in this situation, and I have no choice but to do it. I just need Brother Yun to give me more guidance on how to act."
Yun Ting lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then slowly leaned back on the back of the chair. His upper body was submerged in the shadows. The dim lights in the room flickered, making Yun Ting's face flicker. A cold voice came from the darkness: "I want to talk to you.
The Kun thief is in a difficult situation, and Yun has not yet thought deeply about it, so he has a few brief opinions."
