After some pleasantries, Lu Yida introduced everyone into the hall.
Gui Yunzheng thought to himself that Lu Yida was about forty years old. He should have known about it when his grandfather started the uprising. He thought that he should find an opportunity to talk about this topic.
In fact, neither Liu Yushan nor Lu Yida knew the purpose of Gui Yunzheng's westward journey. The disciples in the gang only knew that Gui Yunzheng was from Plum Blossom Island, but they didn't know that he was the grandson of the late King Cheng. But when the helper wants to move around, this safety issue naturally needs to be guaranteed. Therefore, the Beggar Clan disciples did not complain much. Instead, they were excited to be able to serve Gui Yunzheng.
Of course, this is the charm of young heroes. Although the old gang leader Zheng Baye has been a hero for a lifetime, he is old and honest after all. If he wants to continue to lead everyone to be proud of the world, he is somewhat ambitious but insufficient. And after he was seriously injured in the martial arts competition, his interest was also low. Now he stays on Plum Blossom Island, leisurely and leisurely, not wanting to go anywhere.
However, he did know Gui Yunzheng's identity. At that time, I was really shocked. After being surprised and sighing, I felt that I had entrusted the right person. With the current situation in the world, wars will spread all over the world sooner or later. Wouldn't it be better if the Beggar Clan disciples, under the leadership of Gui Yunzheng, really did something great that was not contrary to chivalry and benefited the common people?
Therefore, he strongly approved of Gui Yunzheng's westward journey. Wherever you fall, get up! King Cheng had been running the northwest for many years. Although it was a complete failure, it did not necessarily completely lose its foundation. What's more, although the northwest is famous for being a king, the imperial court has already taken care of it, and it seems that it has the potential to stand on its own. The one who is not responsible is the Ming Lord. With Gui Yunzheng's literary and military skills, maybe it can be done.
Then, when the critical moment came, he might have to sell his old face to cheer up Gui Yunzheng, his proud disciple and successor.
"Palace Master Lu, a few of us entered the city just now. Although Shangluo is large, the defense is very loose, and the people are very happy. It really seems like a paradise!"
After Gui Yunzheng sat down, he spoke first.
In his plan, if there is an incident in the future, Shangluo and Gucheng will be two important points. Shangluo passed through Shanyang to Yunxi. After passing Yunyang, they entered the territory of King Ping. It can be said that once King Ping advances westward, Shangluo will become an inevitable barrier. And if they want to attack Xiangyang, Shangluo will also be the bridgehead for the attack. From north to south, you may not be able to pass Xiangyang City. But if a surprise force comes from the northwest, that may not be possible.
"Returning to the leader of the gang, the northwest corner is now under the control of King Fu. He advocates governance by doing nothing, doing more good governance and not provoking war. Therefore, the people have a little peace and the officials are very relaxed."
Lu Yida replied humbly.
"Oh, I'm afraid that such a good life won't last long!"
Gui Yunzheng sighed intentionally.
Lu Yida didn't know what he meant for a while.
"What do you think the gang leader said?"
Gui Yunzheng smiled slightly and patted the armrest of the chair.
"Hall Master Lu, let's not mention that Prince Jing and Prince Fu are gearing up for a fight in the near future. How can it be that Prince Ping of Xiangyang Prefecture is always eyeing the northwest? And, if once the north and south When a war breaks out, how can Prince Ping be willing to get caught in the middle and suffer the consequences? Going west has become his inevitable plan!"
Lu Yida was not a person who was unaware of the general situation. Although he lived in Shangluo, he was well aware of the situation in the world. Hearing Gui Yunzheng's analysis, he secretly praised it in his heart.
"Gang leader, congratulations! My subordinates have been at ease for a long time, but they have never thought so much!"
He continued to remain humble, thinking that the gang leader would not talk to him about world affairs for no reason, and would listen to him quietly.
