Wu Jingfeng was sweating profusely, and the others also reacted and stared at the big leader who wandered from Henan... This is indeed a key issue, because one grand master and two grand masters are not the same thing at all. thing, and only this person can give some reliable information at this time.
After all, Wu Jingfeng was Taoist Priest Chonghe's beloved disciple, and he had been with the Taoist Priest for some time before the Hongshan Conference.
"I..." Wu Jingfeng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xing and slowly shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to say it, and it's not that I can't say it, but just like what you said, Zhang Sanlang, this matter is related to the life and death of the Deposed Dragon Gang. I'm afraid if I say it, it will lead to a big disaster in the end. I can't afford it!"
"What can't you afford?" Before Zhang Xing could say anything, Xiong Bonan came to persuade him seriously. "Wu Dalang is the leader of the gang. We all have a life-and-death bond within the gang. You just tell the truth, so why worry?"
Wu Jingfeng was obviously stunned. After a moment, he nodded slightly and responded seriously: "Then I will tell you directly. My mentor said when he saw me in Dongdu that he has no direct opposition to us. I also feel that he Won’t come.”
"With you or with the Deposed Dragon Gang?" Xu Shiying suddenly asked. "What are the original words?"
"The original words are... There is no direct opposition between our master and disciple." Wu Jingfeng, in turn, felt a little uneasy.
"In other words, these words are directed at you two masters and disciples?" Xu Shiying became more and more anxious.
"If you ask me, this still refers to the Deposed Dragon Gang, because Wu Dalang is the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang." Xiong Bonan analyzed carefully. "When Chong and Taoist Master said this, do they have to be specifically mentioned separately?"
"Yes, this should refer to our entire gang..." Ma Wei also nodded. "Unless Taoist Chonghe has a treacherous intention and says it deliberately, there is no need for him to do this to Leader Wu from a humanistic perspective."
Xu Shiying also came to his senses, and clearly realized that he was too aggressive, so he nodded: "Yes, that should be the case. Even the strangest word 'directly' should also mean that Chonghe Taoist priest knew Bai Bai Hengqiu wants to deal with us, and his action of helping Bai Hengqiu deal with Cao Lin is actually equivalent to helping Bai Hengqiu deal with us, but it is not a real confrontation."
Many people around were stunned. At this point, at least the context behind the incident was almost guessed, and they knew what the process was.
Then, suddenly someone couldn't help but ask: "If you said this, would Taoist Chonghe not come?"
"That's not a sure thing." Xu Shiying's face tightened, but he finally gave a somewhat convincing explanation. "I can only say from Wu Dalang that Taoist Chonghe has not shown any intention of killing Cao Lin and continuing to help Bai Hengqiu fight us in Hebei... The grand master's magnanimity is always worth trusting."
"Actually, I don't believe that Taoist Chonghe will come to deal with us, but it's not because I trust his grandmaster demeanor." At this time, Xu Shiren also participated in the discussion, and his tone became more cautious. "But if I were a British prince, I would have to worry about the Wu clan's invasion of Kansai when I first arrived. I couldn't really let the Wu clan invade the Wei River, right? And no one is more suitable for this matter than Taoist Chong He. Guanxi Weinan is the territory of Chonghe Taoist Priest. As long as he is here, the Wu Clan's Kuhai High Priest will pass by, and he will only be beaten. Secondly, based on the current situation, if Cao Lin is defeated, there will be Chonghe. If the Taoist priest helps me, I’m afraid the British master himself has reached the level of cultivation... In that case, why is there any need to keep Taoist priest Chonghe here?”
"This is quite to the point." Xie Minghe held up his palms and said with a smile. "No matter whether the British master is confident or not, Oki and Michio do have a reason to return to Kansai... We have two more confidences."
"But it's not enough." Zhang Xing spoke again. "If you take the initiative to fight, you can start the war if you win five points, but now it's time to judge the situation... To be honest, I don't think Taoist Chong He will come, and Old Master Zhang has already gone south as promised, but I still feel that I am three points behind. , let us frankly identify the situation and make the next strategy."
Everyone nodded, this is the truth.
When it comes to this, bets must be made, just like military intelligence probes must be probed, but the problem is that, after analysis so far, although everyone has a tendency, they still need a hammer to make everyone make up their minds. The hammer that passes judgment.
Therefore, not surprisingly, everyone was divided.
But the dispute did not last long, because someone soon noticed the strange look on Wu Jingfeng's face. It was obvious that the big leader seemed to have more to say... This made people speechless. It was already here. , even hiding it cannot be said to be immoral, it can even be regarded as a violation of military discipline.
However, everyone also knows that when his face is revealed without any concealment, he has to say something in the end.
"It has nothing to do with the movements of Master and Old Master Zhang." As the surroundings gradually became quiet, Wu Jingfeng finally took out a tattered, pitted small copper seal from his arms under the eyes of everyone, and then stood up and walked towards Zhang Xing. "This is the fundamental reason why I went to Dongdu to cause trouble that day. I went to find the Fulong Seal... This thing was found in Cao Lin's Black Tower. It should be able to suppress another three points... I don't know Master Have you noticed this object, but he hasn’t moved anyway, and Zhang Sanlang has been a Fulong Guard, so he may recognize this object, take a look!"
With that said, Wu Dalang put the bronze seal that attracted countless attention into Zhang Xing's hand while many people were dumbfounded. However, there were also people who didn't even know what the Fulong Seal was and hurriedly asked around. After asking clearly, , but was even more horrified than those who had known the whole story for a long time.
On the other side, Zhang Xing took the copper seal, glanced sideways under the lamp, and immediately smiled: "Yes, it's the Fulong Seal! I'm telling you why Leader Wu is so cautious. With this thing, it can indeed be done." Overwhelm the Grandmaster with three points of strength!"
As he said that, he released the Ice True Qi on the spot. The True Qi was full and poured into the small copper seal continuously, and then spread out from the copper seal. Many leaders, staff officers, and clerks in the tent all stood up and poked their heads. Come and see. And sure enough, the true energy passed through the copper seal and then dispersed in all directions. People with cultivation around him felt an invisible force blowing around them, but it was not like the wind. They were also awe-inspiring.
But Chief Zhang only tasted it briefly and immediately stopped using his magical powers.
"It should be that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the suppression." Xiong Bonan looked around and spoke seriously. "It really works."
The other masters in the gang also nodded. Everyone knew that this was something that suddenly appeared. With so many people speaking out at the same time, I'm afraid it really couldn't be fake, so they were relieved for a moment.
What's more, some people are already happy.
"So, wouldn't it mean that we are not afraid of any great master?" Zhai Qian was eager to say what everyone wanted to say.
"It's not that simple." Wu Jingfeng shook his head. "The use of this thing is extremely restrictive, and ordinary people cannot use it... According to Zhang Shizhao's words, this thing was made by Emperor Bai to specifically use the earth's energy to suppress the practitioners, so that those in power and the establishment would not be affected by the practitioners. Threat... If you are the master of the world and build a special Fulong Guard, you can suppress the Grand Master within hundreds of miles below Ningdan. As the chief of the Deposed Dragon Gang, Zhang Sanlang can be regarded as half the master of Hebei and half the master at most. As a master of the Eastern Territory, the effectiveness is there, but it is inevitably limited, and after using it only a few times, the body will not be able to hold it anymore."
Everyone was talking again, and some of them had forgotten who Zhang Shizhao was and asked again, but the atmosphere still became tense.
"No matter what, it's better than nothing. You can always defend it." Xu Shiying also breathed a sigh of relief. "But it's still difficult..."
"What exactly is the difficulty?" Zhang Xing asked, staring at the other party.
"The difficulty is that there are too many flaws." Xu Shiying answered seriously. "As I said before, the army is an army, and the grand master is the grand master... The grand master is an army. If the other side uses an army to fight an army and forces us to one place, and then the grand master leads a few elites to attack, we We can only sit back and watch as we are defeated one by one... Therefore, the only way to deal with it before was to concentrate the main force and maintain mobility so that the opponent cannot trap us. If we are unable to trap us, the grand master will not be able to break away from the army and then delay the opponent first. If we can't support the retreat, we can recover. But now? There are no two great masters, but the opponent has so many more troops, and they are attacking from three sides. It is easier to trap us. How will we break the situation then?"
"There must be a strategy." Ma Wei suddenly interrupted. "The key is to never seek to blame everything... Just do your best, do your best, and obey fate. If we try our best and the outside is still taken down, then we have to let it go."
In other words, the other party came with all their strength and took advantage of it. How could they not just let it go?
Therefore, the smart man immediately understood what Ma Fenguang meant.
"What does Ma Fenguang mean by concentrating all the troops and essence on the chief's place to ensure that it is not breached?" Xu Shiying asked seriously.
"Save people and lose land, and both people and land will survive; save land and lose people, and both people and land will be lost." Ma Wei was equally serious. "What I mean is that since the situation has changed, the top priority must be to ensure the chief, the core members of the gang, and the army. The local government must be prepared to give up... Moreover, only the chief has more power. , only when it is strong can it ensure its deterrent effect, making the Grand Master neither dare to attack nor leave. "
Xu Shiying fell silent.
Xie Minghe, on the other hand, suddenly reminded: "No matter what, I still want to say that if the city is captured one by one and the former colleagues are executed personally, the morale of the military will definitely be shaken."
"It sounds like we have a choice." Dou Lide followed Xie Minghe's gaze and looked at the pouting little Liu Wenwen, but he seemed a little irritable. "In order to survive, to build a career, to eliminate violence in Wei and stabilize the world, we made the officials dissatisfied and wanted to kill us. We hid, and they went to kill our relatives. Should we be blamed? ? Everyone, I, Dou Lide, have been here. Today, I would like to remind everyone that those who do evil, murder and arson must be those people... We must not be blinded by the situation, and make mistakes about right and wrong, and confuse the reasons! "
At this point, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became serious.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xing knew that he needed to step forward, but he did not hesitate to speak on the spot: "Everyone, after discussing this, I want to say three things... First, the situation has gotten worse, but it is not beyond bad. At the stage of our understanding and preparation, at least we can still think that there is only one great master, so we can still defend it; secondly, according to what Wu Dalang said, this Fulong Seal has the best effect only in my hands, then I There is no need to worry about anything. The strongest point in this battle can only be around me. All the elite soldiers and generals are here. Only I can barely compete with the Grand Master. Therefore, when it comes time to make a choice, there is no need to discuss this matter. , because it can only be like this; thirdly, I hope everyone understands that we have now thought of a rough strategy, but it is just a strategy. The actual military situation needs to be reported later. In fact, whether we can fight against the Grand Master also depends on You will only know when the war comes...So, don't relax because you think you have a way to deal with it, and don't be afraid of possible difficulties...There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
At this point, Zhang Xingfu looked at Ma Wei again: "In charge of Ma Wei, do you have anything else to add before finalizing the plan?"
"Two questions." Ma Wei responded immediately. "Xue Changxiong is here, Li Ding is being held hostage, will Luo Shu come?"
"Nine times out of ten, he's coming." Xie Minghe answered first. "This kind of cunning thief will surely fall when the situation arises. And don't forget that these people are all from the military background. There is no obstacle for them to gather together. It is logical... As I expected, it is Feng Wuyi will also come, because he is also from the Wei Dynasty, but the Gao brothers may not come back."
Many people were a little confused, but some people immediately woke up and nodded.
Zhang Xing also nodded directly... There is no way, this is political inertia. The world before he traveled was all in chaos. The Eastern Jin Dynasty's diplomatic posture towards the northern regime actually followed the alignment of all parties in the Eight Kings Rebellion. of.
In fact, going back to the current situation, Bai Hengqi should have relied on this political inertia to quickly gain temporary control of the Dongdu troops after dealing with Cao Lin.
Even, from this perspective, the essence of this war can be easily seen - the vested interests and powerful people in this world are encircling and suppressing the regime of the new order and new ideas.
Or to put it more simply, the movement of Tao is the opposite. Since the Deposed Dragon Gang is the opposite, it is natural for reactionaries to stop them from moving.
Cao Lin was tied to the violent Wei and was a reactionary through and through. Bai Hengqiu rebelled against Wei, but only against Cao. He was also a reactionary to the Deposed Dragon Gang, who vaguely wanted to completely change the social form.
"There's more," Xu Shiying urged. "Mr. Ma, do you have any other questions?"
"Another question is, how much can Henan's soldiers and horses, including Jianghuai, be relied upon?" Ma Wei's problem was indeed sharp and serious.
"Don't count on Jianghuai." Zhang Xing immediately replied. "Don't put too much hope in Jiyin... It's not that you can't trust the other side, but it's because the river is isolated and the other side has enough troops. If we are trapped, they will still have the strength to deploy defenses along the river; and if we take the initiative to retreat, they will actually be beyond their reach... …We said before that we could count on them to break off the rear. The fundamental reason was that we thought that Dongdu’s army was dominated by troops and horses, so we could break off the rear. But now that Bai Hengqiu has led Taiyuan troops out of Hongshan, it’s useless to break up the rear.”
This answer was straightforward enough, but many people's expressions also turned serious.
As Chief Zhang said, at this time, even if Li Shu's selfishness and the antagonism and contradiction between the north and the south were not taken into account, the south bank troops could not help much... In fact, some smarter people have thought that since the situation is so serious, it may not be aggravating the situation. He took advantage of someone's thoughts and finally did something while Hebei was being hit.
"Then I have nothing more to ask." Ma Wei took a long breath.
"I do." At this moment, Xu Shiying suddenly spoke. "Chief, since it is Bai Hengqiu who is here to deal with us, can Bai Yousi still trust General Manager Bai?"
The elegant birds in the tent are silent.
Obviously, this issue cannot be avoided.
