Speaking of this, Yun Ting slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed out his index finger, and said: "First, don't hit him head-on. You can only attack him sideways to avoid his sharp edge. Just drag it, don't hit him. Wait for it to change, and it will gradually erode its momentum. If
If we can wait until the imperial troops arrive, we can do something convenient."
After saying this, Yunting extended his middle finger and said: "Second, obstruct his government's decrees, make it difficult for the puppet government's decrees to be carried out in the countryside, attack and kill single puppet officials, and surrender to the people who are disobedient to the people. Select one or two die-hard newcomers to surrender to the fake emperor and kill them.
He filled the whole family to serve as a warning and frightened the villagers. The common people did not dare to serve as officials or speak out about the affairs of the emperor. They only made trouble, making it difficult to establish his authority, collect grain and rice, and implement laws and regulations."
Then he showed his ring finger and said: "Third, let the heroes from all over the mountains disturb the traffic, intercept and kill pedestrians and merchants, block the roads, and disrupt the public order. In order to maintain order, the thieves can only set up more checkpoints and spread troops and horses. Over time, it will be inevitable."
It is difficult to look at the beginning and the end. The Kun people value pottery and craftsmanship the most. If they seek an opportunity to set fire to the newly built Kun thieves' workshops, warehouses, stores, and disrupt their business operations and creations in Guangli, it will increase their troubles and chaos.
Its footsteps."
At this point, he held up his little finger and said: "Fourth, I have observed that every time the Kun people come to a place, they recruit more local warriors. However, these local soldiers have no Kun spears and no armor, only swords and spears, and there are few Kun thieves.
There are scholars who appoint very few fake officials and officials, so they have no choice but to use the elders of the rural sages to govern the people. There are also good and bad among these rural soldiers, and there is no shortage of loyal people who are loyal to the court. They say that they will surrender and take advantage of their failure.
Be prepared, heroes gather together, cooperate inside and outside, capture one or two village offices, seize guns and food, this will definitely shock the thieves and boost their morale, but this is extremely difficult and cannot be done easily."
After taking a slow breath, Yun Ting continued: "We usually rely on local powerful people and rely on Tuli's family members to hide and hide, and travel around with the Kun thieves. If the situation is not secret, and the Kun thieves are severely punished and wiped out, and they can't survive, they will stir up trouble.
The men and horses retreated to Bagui, entrenched on the border, hidden in the mountains, looking for opportunities to cause trouble and harassment. When the soldiers arrived, they would act as the vanguard and then they could make a comeback."
After hearing this, Taoist Mu Shi said: "They are all just superficial measures, and they cannot touch the root."
Yun Ting snorted coldly and said: "It's not easy to plan things if you can do them even a little bit. People must not be greedy. Kun and the thieves have the land of two palaces, and they have enough troops and food. Isn't it what you and I can do overnight?"
Shake. As for the Governor Xiong you mentioned, his head is still there, which shows that the imperial court currently has no intention of dealing with the Kun thieves."
Taoist Mu Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Well, that makes sense. Let's leave this matter aside for the time being. The matter of the alliance..."
Yunting said: "It's probably certain. I have contacted Xue Tu and will come to meet us tomorrow. You have seen this person twice before. He is short-sighted, crude and greedy. He can only use coercion and cannot control it."
When the time comes for him to be in charge, you have to focus on him, lure him into the trap, and don't influence him. But this person is very loyal, not afraid of being attacked, and has a good reputation in the world. He has several gates behind him to support him, so he can win.
This Tianmen marshal could pull up five or seven thousand people at his peak. Now the Kun people are so powerful that they suppress the big households and Taoist sects. But even if you count the head and tail, there are still two or three thousand people. Now this person is being squeezed and extremely
It's sad, but I can make some money to protect myself, and I hope it won't be difficult to attract huge profits."
Taoist Mu Shi nodded slightly and said: "I understand, last time I promised Xue Tu to be a guerrilla instructor. Seeing that he was so happy that he had nowhere to scratch his head, he thought he was a heartless person."
Yun Ting frowned and said, "Can you let him have his wish?"
Taoist Mu Shi sneered and said: "Hey, he will take the punt off the shore, and then he won't be able to do it anymore. What difference does it make if it is true or false?"
After a pause, he said again: "Brother Yun, you and I will plan carefully and think carefully, so that we won't make any mistakes."
Distant mountains, dense forests, hills, strange rocks, the moonlight shines through the dark clouds, making the mountains hazy and unreal. The branches of the trees sway gently in the mountain wind, the leaves make a soft rustling sound, and the shadows of the trees are reflected on the mountain walls.
Above, like a ghostly shadow, a will-o'-the-wisp in an ancient temple deep in the mountains reflects on the window paper and two black figures whisper secretly, like the whispers of hell.
A small boat was swaying in the river. There were three people sitting in the boat canopy. Xu Tong and Li Baiqing were both blindfolded by black cloth and sitting back together. A big man sat upright and stared at the two of them intently.
Xu Tong leaned against the wall of the boat canopy. His body swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the boat from time to time, as if he was dozing in confusion. He secretly felt and discerned the speed, tilt and rotation of the boat, capturing the pictures along the way.
Every detail of the environment and the special sound characteristics. Xu Tong silently counted the numbers in his heart and recorded the time. He crossed his hands in front of his chest seemingly casually. His left hand was covered by the robe, and his right hand was inserted diagonally into his arms, holding it in his palm.
A short pen. Whenever the carriage tilts, if you turn left, draw a line on the inside of the collar from top to bottom. If you turn right, draw a line on the outside of the collar. Every time you turn, draw a line on the inside of the collar.
Xu Tong used shorthand notation to write down the numbers silently. When he could not record them directly, Xu Tong used this as a supplementary reference for memory. Based on this, he roughly estimated the mileage and time of each turn. He hoped that he could roughly guess the destination by comparing it with the map afterwards.
location.
He has practiced this training method many times in the past, and it is at least 60 to 70% accurate. But in the past, it was all by land, either by car or sedan. This is the first time he takes a boat. Compared with cars and sedans, it is better to take a boat.
It is more difficult to control the position. It can only be regarded as a little preparation.
The junction was far away from the city. The two rented a house nearby the day before and stayed for half the night. They came to wait before dawn. After boarding the boat, they traveled for a long time before the boat slowly stopped. The boatman caught the two of them.
He took off the black cloth, opened his eyes and saw that he was in a huge mangrove forest.
Abandoning the boat and landing, there was a trail in the woods, and the guide led them all the way forward. The two of them did not distinguish between east, west, north and south, and just followed the guide.
As we walked along the road, other people joined us from time to time, and they all came on foot. Obviously, there were no cars or horses here, and everyone who came had to rely on boats. Xu Tong was secretly worried. Since ancient times, waterways have been the most complex and changeable, especially in such a large swamp.
The waterway among the sandbanks. Thirty-six heroes from Liangshan in the Song Dynasty gathered in Liangshan for decades, but the officers and soldiers were helpless. In fact, there was no dangerous place in Liangshan, and the official government was shielded by the eight hundred miles of water.
These people were probably the leaders of today's meetings. Xu Tong looked at Li Baiqing with inquiring eyes, and Li Baiqing only nodded slightly. As he moved further, the road became more complicated, and sometimes he had to clear the bushes.
Occasionally, we pass through a temporary platform on the stream. The surrounding area is not a forest but a reed swamp, and we can't even see the sky. The light and dark checkpoints appear and disappear on the road, and the security is tight. It is not until almost noon that we arrive at a temple in the open space.
.
Xu Tong was secretly frightened. The boat was rowing very slowly. Regardless of how long it took, it was actually only about fifteen to twenty kilometers away from Guangzhou. In other words, from the west gate, it was at most forty miles along the road.
There is a bandit's nest. And this bandit's nest is deep among the mangroves on the sandbank. Without a guide, even if a large army is used to pull the net, it will not be easy to search for it! No wonder these people are fearless and gather here openly.
The courtyard of this temple is very wide, but the layout is not very large. When the temple was built, it was said that because there was a lack of large wooden beams, the spliced main beams were covered with iron sheets, hence the name Tieliang Temple. The temples and houses in the temple are all
It has a stone foundation, an outer earth wall, and a wooden hall inside. It has two entrances. The front is the mountain gate hall, the middle is the Buddhist hall, and the back is the abbot's room, kitchen, and layman's room. Most of them have collapsed now. The mountain gate has long been dilapidated.
The plaque in front of the door is also missing. There is an incense tripod missing a few handfuls of incense in the hall. In the main hall, there is a wooden statue of the Buddha, but the paint has faded and the gold decoration has peeled off. There are two standing statues of monks standing next to the Buddha, and the two sides are sideways.
There are more than twenty Bodhisattvas, large and small, in different shapes in the hall. They have been in disrepair for many years and have become so rotten that their faces cannot be recognized.
Several minions greeted the guests in front of the mountain gate. After checking the official notice, someone was introduced. There were more than dozens of desk chairs arranged in two rows in the courtyard. Many people were already seated, and some minions came forward to offer tea.
Smoke. An armchair is placed in the middle, and an incense table is set behind the chair. A shrine is placed on it for the Taoist Emperor of Heaven, with the inscription "Haotian Golden Tower, Jade Emperor, Mysterious Sky and High God". There are three stoves and four plates in front of the table, and three stoves of incense are dedicated to each.
The Three Talents of Heaven, Earth and Humanity put three notes of high-quality incense in each furnace, and the four offering plates contained pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens as offerings of meat, which symbolized that the Emperor of Heaven commanded disciples from all walks of life not to avoid meat and fish.
The tables and chairs in the courtyard were arranged with their own seats. A minion led Li Baiqing and Xu Tong to the last table. The minion sang loudly: "Lao Li Zhuang's disciple Li Baiqing and his nephew Li Jian are here."
, take your seats." After Li Baiqing and Li Baiqing were seated, they placed some tobacco, tea and fruits on the table before leaving. After a while, the two rows of seats gradually filled up. In addition to the forty or fifty heads of the guild, there were more than a hundred Jiamen disciples.
People, each with a strange shape, were either talking loudly or whispering, with different thoughts, their eyes flickering, their eyebrows constantly darting around, and the courtyard was noisy and noisy.
Suddenly there was a sound of a quiet whip, and the courtyard immediately fell silent. Then a drum sounded, and a minion came out with a wooden order in his arms and sang: "The generals of the Tianmen are ordered, everyone listens to the order." Everyone in the meeting stood together when they heard it.
He got up, causing the tables and chairs to jingle, and waited until everyone stood still before singing:
“When driving, you must take Yangguan Road.
When sailing, you should sail across the sea.
On the left is a blue dragon suppressing evil spirits,
There is a white tiger on the right to protect the clear sky.
In front of me there is a Suzaku opening a mountain road,
Later there was the Xuanwu Town Temple Court.
Worshiped from all directions,
Invite the gods in the center of the altar.
The Jade Emperor Zun has been moved,
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers ensure peace.
Wenqu helps the people and stabilizes the country,
Wu Qu determines the south and sweeps the north.
The building festival has come,
Listen clearly to my left and right,
Kill all the demons on all sides,
Ghosts and monsters from all directions turned into mud.
The auspicious day of the zodiac is chosen early,
The gates of heaven are wide open and the generals are named.
The good time has come to open the Heavenly Gate, and the flag officials are holding the flags." After the song was sung, a burst of cymbals sounded, and another muffled drum beat, a big man picked out a big green bamboo flag and wrote five big characters
:Tianmen Taoist Association.
After a short pause, the minions sang loudly again: "The Marshal ascends to the throne."
