When Xue Tu heard this, he looked at Mu Shi with doubtful eyes and said, "How did Taoist Mu Shi gain the prestige of Kun Zei and destroy our spirit?"
Mu Shi glanced at Xue Tu and said calmly: "Brother Xue, do you think you have seen the general trend clearly? But you don't know that sometimes you can move forward and retreat easily by riding on two boats, but sometimes you have to lean on both sides and fall into the river, and sometimes you can't even get on the boat.
The key to being knocked into the water by a pennies is not the boat you ride on, but the seat of the boat you bought."
Having said this, Taoist Mu Shi returned to his seat, poured himself a glass, took a sip of wine, and glanced at Yunting.
Yun Ting took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it over, saying: "Brother Xue, please take a look at this first."
Xue Tu took the paper suspiciously, but it was a document. The document was handwritten, with a very energetic small regular script, written horizontally according to Australian writing rules, from left to right, reading between sentences, and heading up to the title.
It clearly read "Inside Information Report on Major Bandits in Guangdong". As soon as he glanced at the title, Xue Tu was startled.
With the collapse and loss of the regional grassroots political power and government armed forces, a large number of local armed forces swarmed around, occupied hills, built forts, raised private soldiers, recruited unscrupulous people, formed gangs, bullied men and women, burned, killed and looted, and partially usurped the truth.
The evil gentry, allied with illegal armed elements, established outlets in the countryside, spread rumors, organized riots, vandalized and set fires, and were willing to be used by the usurping government to provide strategic cooperation for possible future counterattacks by the usurping government. Now these landlord and bandit armed forces have become our country's
A cancer under the Song regime that must be eradicated. Based on this, after research and decision by the Senate, the recent strategic deployment in Guangdong will be adjusted to slow down the pace of expansion and protect the fruits of victory. Maintain the tampering and puppet forces at key strategic nodes
The strong high-pressure situation maintained deterrence, and at the same time turned the focus to attack internal hostile elements. The Senate proposed the strategic policy of "Consolidating the Core and Focusing on Key Points" to establish several strong and powerful forces in key areas away from the main transportation lines and towns, relying on the support of core areas.
Important base points, by establishing base base areas to radiate outward, give strong support to the newly established local government, and divide the regional scope according to the base base areas, eliminate the passive situation of being surrounded by enemies from both sides, and form a point to lead a line, and a line to lead a piece of land.
, taking into account the situation, the recent central financial allocation will be planned to tilt towards military projects, and the suppression work will be gradually organized. The key arrangements are as follows..."
The more Xue Tu read, the more frightened he became. When he turned to the last two pages, he found that the paper had changed to Australian paper, the fonts had changed to imitation Song Dynasty, and the printing method had changed to Australian mimeograph. The red seal at the end was also a circle commonly used by Australians.
Zhang, this determination cannot be forged. He looked at Mu Shi with questioning eyes, and Mu Shi nodded and said: "Yes, these two pages are originals. It's a pity that Brother Yun was in the Kun thief's palace for these two pages.
The hidden line has been pulled out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get such confidential information in the future." After saying that, he sighed and shook his head, looking very regretful. Xue Tu withdrew his gaze, forced himself to calm down, and then looked down, the more he looked, the more
I was shocked, cold sweat could not stop dripping from my forehead, my hands were trembling slightly, a little bit of sweat dripped on the paper, and the paper trembled casually, waiting to see "It is extremely harmful to society, key targets, and some."
When he saw his name listed in the column "Representative Bandit Leaders, Leaders of Feudal Taoist Sects", Xue Tu couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. He suppressed his uneasiness, calmed down, and put down the document.
, said: "Kun thief has been plotting rebellion for a long time. Since I am the enemy of Kun thief, this matter has been known to Xue for a long time, so it is nothing."
Mu Shi smiled again and said: "Brother Xue still had some extravagant hopes, trying to protect his family, but he didn't know that it would be better to surrender to the imperial court. If he surrenders to the thieves, he will die soon!"
When Xue Tu heard this, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the wood and stone, and said, "I hope the Taoist priest will teach me."
Mu Shi Taoist said: "Do you think Liu Xiang will have a good end when he surrenders to Kun? He used to respond to every call, but now he is under the control of others and allowed to be scolded by others. His roots are in the sea rather than on land. Now the Australians have taken over his ship and dispersed his people. , all of them were incorporated into the shipping company, but they were just barely able to survive as a rich man. They were supervised day and night by the Australians, and they did not dare to act rashly. The Australians would never entrust them to outsiders, and they were only imprisoned in a three-quarter acre of land in Lingao, sitting around. Just look at the sky, this is still a powerful party with tens of thousands of people on board. If Brother Xue wants to surrender to Kun, even if he accepts these Taoist sects, will his power be so big? Do you have the capital to bargain with the Kun thieves? "
Mu Shi Taoist said again: "Liu Xiang can get a share of shares in the shipping company, which can be regarded as a support. He also has some maritime trade routes. He can be a counselor for the Kun people. The Kun people come from the sea. This kind of people are the most powerful." What matters most is that Liu Xiang knows the current affairs and can be saved. Brother Xue must not get carried away thinking that he is the king of these three mountains and five villages. Brother Xue must take a closer look at himself and consider whether he is as powerful as Liu Xiang. ?What can you get if you surrender to Kun? Looking at Brother Xue’s past actions, I know that Brother Xue is a man with lofty aspirations and has never been willing to live under others. He surrendered to Kun not to protect his personal safety, but to protect his wife. Son, what talents does Brother Xue have that the Kun people value? In the final analysis, what he is good at is just to fool the ignorant people in the countryside with Taoism and magical powers, and coerce them into my use. What is this called? Among the Kun thieves, this is called organized feudalism. Superstitious activities are a factor of social instability. If they are left alone, they will only cause harm and will be of no help. They can neither be officials nor generals. In terms of closeness, they are completely different from the officials who were promoted by the Kun people themselves and the officials they taught. , Brother Xue is worthless in the eyes of the thieves, so he may be a little win over in the beginning, but over time, if Brother Xue makes the slightest move, he will immediately be killed!"
Xue Tu frowned and listened numbly. He stopped talking, his face hardened into a lump, and his expression changed from pale to pale.
Yun Ting then spoke from the side: "Brother Xue Xian is not an ordinary person. He has had great ambitions since he debuted. It is said that this Heavenly Soldier Dao Shenhui did not want to pass it on to Brother Xue at that time. Brother Xue Xian won it by his own ability. If Brother Xue Xian is so courteous and courteous. The person sitting here today is a handsome man who was in good health just a few years ago and is now in his prime. How can I get Brother Xue Xian? If Brother Xue Xian’s competitive temperament falls into the hands of the emperor, it will be difficult for him to end well."
Gu Ru
Xue Tu suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Yunting, and said, "What did you say?"
Yun Ting did not shy away. He sneered and stared back at Xue Tu: "Walls have eyes and walls have ears. Everyone knows what they have done. Everyone just pretends not to know. Don't make it clear. ."
Xue Tu's breathing gradually became faster, his hands slowly clenched into fists, and his face turned cold.
Yun Ting stopped talking to him, only took out two more things from his arms, threw them on the table with a bang, and said calmly: "Brother Xue Xian, do you recognize this?"
Xue Tu picked up the things on the table and took a closer look. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart felt cold. One of the two things was a Taoist and Godly Association name tag and a talisman, and the other was an Australian work permit. Both things were stained with dry matter.
It turned into black and purple blood stains. Xue Tu remembered that he sent a close disciple to contact the Australians that day, but they never came back. This matter has always been a worry in Xue Tu's heart. He never dared to express it to others, and only tortured him in the dead of night every day.
He couldn't sleep at night, thinking wildly all day long. He never expected to see him here today. His face was suddenly filled with surprise and confusion, and when he turned his eyes, he found that none of the cronies he had arranged were beside him.
Seeing this, Yun Ting sneered secretly and said: "Brother Xue Xian, don't worry, the matter is over, it will only die in the stomachs of you and me. Brother Xue Xian, don't have other thoughts. Mr. Liang and I have been planning for several years, inquiring and snooping overtly and secretly.
Knowing that Brother Xue Xian had resisted Kun in the past and killed thieves, assassinated liaisons in various townships, and carried out robberies to pay reasonable burdens, etc., it had long been known to the people of Kun. The Kun people's factory guard had accumulated a mountain of crimes against Brother Xue, and there was an outpouring of anger among the people if he said that killing him was not enough.
With such a deep hatred, it is too naive for Brother Xue Xian to still hope that the thief Kun will settle the old grudges. Besides, the recruitment of the Kun people this time is not successful. Given the nature of the thief Kun, he will have to be brutally suppressed in the near future. Brother Xue Xian must make up his mind. Now this is the only way.
Don’t make the same mistake as you have a way out. The only thing worse than stepping on two boats is not being able to step on one boat.”
After Taoist Mu Shi finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and said seriously: "Brother Xue, Pindao, here is a letter of recommendation written by Governor Xiong, promising that Brother Xue can at least be awarded the title of guerrilla. If he has military merit,
It's not a bad idea to give him a general, and he also promised that if Guangfu is restored in the future, Brother Xue will not leave his hometown and lead troops to defend himself. Brother Xue, fame, wealth and honor are easily available. If you want it, the people of Kun will not give it to you, so I will give it to you.
No, only the imperial court can give us what we want. If Brother Xue insists on taking that wrong path and turns his face, I am afraid it will hurt the harmony. Do you think Brother Yun and I are the ones who have no backup plan?
?This letter is by no means a forgery. There will be Governor Xiong behind the guard, so Brother Xue can check it carefully." After saying this, he handed over the letter.
Xue Tu took the letter with both hands, read it silently for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, as if his muscles and bones had been ripped away, and slowly slumped in the armchair. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly put his hands on the armrests, stood up, and said loudly:
"In this case, the man surnamed Li must not be allowed to stay. Come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big man pushed open the door and walked in. He folded his hands and obeyed the order.
With the head on your neck, go and come back quickly!"
Yun Ting said from the side: "This little brother is not talented, but he has some foresight. I want to get ahead of brother Xue Xian. I have already sent more than ten people to chase him first. If brother Xue is willing to send more people to help, it will be better. You and I can join forces."
If necessary, Li Jian cannot escape justice."
Xue Tu turned around and glanced at Yunting, then nodded, with a very complicated look in his eyes.
Taoist Mu Shi and Yun Ting looked at each other and knew in their hearts that the last nail had finally been driven in.
