But it was said that it was not easy for Xiao Yunfan to capture Bixin Island and rescue everyone. But in Xiao Yunfan's view, there are many difficult things in the world, and everyone will encounter them in this life. If you shrink back because things are difficult, then there will be no emperors, generals, or ministers for thousands of years, let alone thousands of years. Dominance.
He never hoped for eternal hegemony, nor did he want to be emperor or general. All he wanted was a peaceful life. However, due to the treacherous fluctuations in the world, he had long been trapped in it and could not escape from it. The alliance leader may seem to others to have a respected position and respond to every call, but to Xiao Yunfan, he only has a big head and a headache. Even so, he still has to bear it. Compared with those sages of the past generations, what he carries is only a feather in the sky.
It's late at night and the lights are always on. Xiao Yunfan was wearing clothes and was looking at the topographic map of Bixin Island. Bixin Island is located in Taihu Lake and is surrounded by three water villages. The three water villages are distributed in a Z-shaped pattern, with countless hidden stakes inserted in the water between two. To enter Bixin Island, you must pass through at least one water village. After the Ghost Xiangmen plotted to seize the Chishui Gang, the number of guards in the three water villages naturally increased a lot.
Even after conquering three water villages, he successfully landed on the island. Still facing a difficulty, over there is the fortification on Bixin Island. Today, the central island is surrounded by solid fences, and there are four watchtowers in the east, west, north, and south, and there are suspended suspension bridges connecting the buildings. If you stand high and defend your position, a strong attack will only lead to heavy casualties.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Yunfan thought of the book "The Dragon in the Sea", which showed that Qi Jiguang's battle at Cengang was much more difficult than today's situation, but Qi Shuai overcame the difficulties and the Japanese pirates were finally destroyed. After a long night of exhaustion, he finally thought of a way.
The next day, he came to the General Alliance stronghold, a house on the edge of Taihu Lake. Taoist Master Gufeng and other heroes have been practicing here these days. Xiao Yunfan's eyes were pale and he could not hide his tired look. Fortunately, he was a martial arts practitioner and had a strong body.
Taoist Master Gu Feng has a pale face, bright eyes, and is wearing a blue robe. At this time, he is sitting in the hall chatting with Master Zhiyuan. Yin Zhonghao of the Bashan Sword Sect is chatting with Jiang Hanyue. There are two people standing behind them. A disciple, Jin Wanliang, the master of Jinyutang, rarely showed up. He was sipping a bowl of tea at this time. Guan Shanyue from Xuanbing Villa was also sitting with his daughter. There are also many people from other factions in the Jianghu. There were people standing inside and outside the courtyard.
Xiao Yunfan walked out of the inner hall and greeted everyone. Then he sat on a chair in the middle of the hall. He said: "Everyone, we have gathered here this time. What we are planning is of great importance and there is no room for error. I don't know what I ordered you to do that day. How did you do?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Gu Feng said: "How dare you disobey the leader's instructions." Then he called his disciple to get a book with a blue cover. Then he said: "Asong, please report to the leader of the alliance one by one what each faction has done recently." After accepting the order, the disciple opened the book and said loudly: "The leader of the alliance ordered that each sect and faction first clear out the insiders. One thing is one's duty. The Beggar Clan eliminated thirty-three insiders, Jin Yutang eliminated twenty-four insiders, Dajue Temple eliminated sixteen insiders, and the Bashan Sword Sect eliminated fifteen insiders..."
It turns out that Xiao Yunfan left a letter that day, saying three things. First, each sect must try to dig out the ghost minister's informants one by one, and then hand them over to the custody of Dajue Temple and Zhengyi Sect; second, Count the martial arts martyrs from various sects and sects who have died in the struggle against the Ghost Sect in recent years, and provide compensation to the descendants of these martyrs; thirdly, each martial sect will dispatch fifty elite people to practice day and night, and then form a Tiandao Alliance righteous army .
During the crackdown operation, more than 200 insiders were dug out. After eliminating these troublemakers, each faction also counted the righteous people who had been harmed by the Ghost Prime Minister in recent years, a total of 647 people. Xiao Yunfan felt quite heavy as he listened to the numbers reported one after another.
Looking at the dark crowd in the hall, he said in a deep voice: "Fellow martial arts comrades, we have suffered heavy losses in the fight against the Ghost Prime Minister over the years, and you must be very clear about the reasons. What is the most important of these reasons? Everyone Have you ever thought about it?"
The group of heroes whispered to each other and started discussing. Taoist Master Gu Feng pondered for a moment and said: "The leader wants to say that everyone has abandoned the right path and has been blinded by fame and fortune." Xiao Yunfan looked solemnly, looked at everyone's face, and said: "The Taoist Master is right. Yes. The Tao is that everything in the world is bustling for profit; the world is bustling for profit. If you have no desires or pursuits in life, you will be a god. However, in the process of chasing fame and fortune, you seem to have lost your original intention.
Who are we? He is a great hero and a great hero who claims to be a man of the right path. They are the sun and moon in the hearts of the people and the backbone that saves the country from danger. But please think about it, have we done this over the years? The chivalrous people of the past were moral, benevolent and merciful, and looked up to the heaven and earth with no regrets; today's chivalrous people, seeking fame and fame, greedy for money and power, can be said to be just like ordinary people.
The sun is shining brightly, but righteousness always exists. But in the face of the evil power of the ghost minister, many people bow their heads and bend their knees, becoming slaves and maids, willing to be lackeys. The hot blood in your body has gone cold, and the righteousness in your chest has dissipated? The righteousness of belief collapsed suddenly, betrayal, deception, and fooling filled the heart, and people were willing to fall and sink without seeking to make progress.
Driven by desire, one deviates from the right path and one's original intention. So that's all for one sect, but what about ten and a hundred? Is there still hope for this martial arts world? " His words were deafening, and many people present blushed and lowered their heads, falling into deep thought.
The ghost sect can confuse people's hearts and play with various sects and factions. Conspiracies and tricks are just appearances, but the key lies in the right path itself. The righteous sect is not monolithic, and there are no gaps to be found. In addition to the problems with each sect's own regulations, people are also easily exploited. As long as the opponent finds a chance, they will attack with all their strength. No matter how strong the ship is, it cannot withstand the waves forever. What's more, the people sitting on the boat are still scheming with each other, and they seem to be inseparable.
Xiao Yunfan stood up and said meaningfully: "People in my generation should keep the right path at heart, strengthen their bones with chivalry, and pursue a higher realm of life in order to fundamentally resist the bewitchment of the Ghost Sect. If you have the Dao, your head can be cut off. Blood can be shed, but the word chivalry cannot be lost. What is a chivalrous person? He is one who has the righteousness in his heart and will die without regrets." After hearing this, everyone's hearts surged and they shouted together: The righteous path is the heart, chivalry forges the bones. The head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, but the word chivalry cannot be lost. The crowd's shouts grew louder and louder, and these two sentences seemed to contain infinite magic power, infecting everyone present.
Compared with Linyuan, the legendary king of martial arts back then, Xiao Yunfan was far behind, but he would do his best in whatever he could do. Because of this, the righteous martial arts world had a glimmer of vitality.
The heroes then held a sacrificial ceremony to comfort the souls of those who died. After the sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Yunfan conversed with the heads of various factions in the inner hall. After experiencing these three things, Master Gu Feng admired Xiao Yunfan even more, and the other parties were also sincerely convinced of him.
Xiao Yunfan opened a map and said: "Look, everyone, this is the topographic map of Bixin Island. The place where the Chishui Gang's general helm is now occupied by thieves. This island is located in the middle of Taihu Lake, and there are three water villages guarding it outside the island, and these three There are eighty guards on duty in the water village, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Taoist priest Gu Feng came forward and said, "What do you think the leader wants?" Xiao Yunfan said, "We can only attack by outsmarting others, and we can only do it at night." Jiang Hanyue's eyes flashed and she said, "What does the leader want us to do?" We take a boat and make a surprise attack at night, so if the other party is prepared, wouldn’t we fall into a trap ourselves?”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Palace Master Jiang is very worried. Therefore, our troops will be divided into seven groups to attack the island this time. Three teams of troops on the water route, and four teams on the air route." Master Zhiyuan said: "The water route mentioned by the alliance leader, Lao Na naturally I understand, but what is this empty road? Forgive me for being stupid, but please enlighten me, leader of the alliance."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "In the way of using troops, good and evil complement each other. The water route is good, and the air route is strange. Xiao borrowed four large flying ships from a friend. The key to destroying the island is these four ships Spaceship." Jiang Hanyue and Yin Zhonghao had seen such miraculous things a few years ago and were not surprised. Everyone else was greatly surprised.
Taoist Master Tanikaze, Master Zhiyuan and others were all imagining what the flying ship would look like. Xiao Yunfan did not explain, picked up a writing brush from the table, circled each of the three water villages on the map, and said: "These three water villages need Destroy them at the same time, and then the airships in the air can work wonders. The three of you, Taoist Master, Master, and Brother Yin, each lead a large ship and use artillery to attack the three water strongholds at the same time. After the fire breaks out, Palace Master Jiang, Hall Master Jin, and Mr. Situ The three of you and I will attack the four watchtowers on Bixin Island from the east, west, north, and south directions.
After the three water strongholds were pulled out, the three of you, Taoist Master, Master Yin, are moving the bow of the boat to attack one place. You must open a hole so that the boats of other factions can go along. Palace Master Jiang, Jintang Lord, Mr. Situ, the three of you and I will break down the watchtower and then land on the island to kill the enemy. As soon as Taoist leader and his reinforcements arrive, we will hold a grand event.
After defeating the enemy, please ask Brother Yin's men to take care of our ships to prevent any accidents. After landing on the island, there are still many dangerous things. You guys must not take it lightly. Hall Master Jin, you will be in charge of the money and food this time. Palace Master Jiang, you will send another team to join the medical monks from Dajue Temple to provide emergency treatment. Master Guan and Ling Qianjin will take charge of the other ships. Scheduling. Success or failure depends on this, do you understand? "
Jin Wanliang smiled with a red face and said: "Leader, you let Lao Jin take care of the money and food, are you not afraid that I will be greedy?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Master Jin, if you are greedy, everyone will come to your Jinyu Hall to eat and drink from now on, even if you are gold and silver." I'm sure you'll be left with nothing." After hearing this, Hall Master Jin laughed and said, "Then Lao Jin should obey the order obediently. Otherwise, if you open your mouth, Lao Jin will have to live in poverty."
Seeing how stingy the other party was, Guan Xiaohong said angrily: "Humph! The richest man in the world is actually so stingy?" Guan Shanyue hurriedly wanted to apologize. Jin Wanliang said: "Young lady, you don't know something. Starting a business is like picking a stick with a needle, and keeping a business is even more difficult. Although my name is Jin Wanliang, I haven't made Wanjin Wanliang yet, so how can I squander it wantonly?" "
】
Guan Shanyue stopped his daughter and said, "Hong'er, don't be presumptuous." Guan Xiaohong rolled her eyes at Jin Wanliang, walked up to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, you are the leader of the alliance now, so you are naturally very busy. Although I have been here these days, but I haven't had a chance to say a word to you yet. By the way, I want to ask you about Yin Shisan's whereabouts." Xiao Yunfan looked into her eyes and knew that this girl had a deep love for Yin Shisan, but what about Yin Shisan? , there is another person in my heart. He really didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "I haven't seen him in recent times."
