Lin Yunbo's words shocked everyone, but it was not because of his cleverness.
This taken-for-granted method of provocation may seem seamless at first glance, but in fact it is just talk on paper.
A ranger who has been around in the world for a long time, even if he doesn't have a lot of brains, should still have a lot of cunning. How can he fight for life and death so easily?
Qu Bingyu, the master of Tongxuan Temple, turned his nostrils to the sky and snorted coldly: "Master Lin has a poisonous strategy! I just don't know, what is your so-called scented bait?"
"Of course it's the 'Rushui Sword' that everyone covets." Lin Yunbo kept smiling and talked eloquently, "Although to the palace envoy, Mr. Xiao, this sword is actually a fabrication. But all the knights in the rivers and lakes believe it.
.We might as well go with the flow and build a 'Water Sword' and hide it in the Tongyuan Canal. When the wanderers dig it out, it will inevitably lead to looting and shopping. At that time, all we have to do is watch the fire from the shore and wait for the opportunity to take action.
.”
Huang Linquan, the master of Futang Temple, said solemnly: "Pindao thinks that I might as well try Master Lin's strategy. Even if it doesn't work, it's just a waste of an iron sword."
"Guanzhu Lin is truly unparalleled in resourcefulness." Tan Lingde suddenly laughed and said. Lin Yunbo was about to say something modest when he heard him say again,
"My duty as a soldier in the Luocheng camp is to defend the officials and people of Luoyang, but I am not a regiment trained by Master Lin Guanzhu. General Shu Yao, the king of Xiping County, said, 'The soldiers in Luocheng only obey the holy orders. They cannot leave unless there is an order.
'!If you send out troops without authorization just for a few knights and rogues, and if someone with the intention to report it is reported, how is it any different from treason?
Although I suggest that all evil must be eradicated, I do not intend to 'go overboard' and make trivial matters with the lives of soldiers. Since there are thousands of unscrupulous guards in the city, and they are familiar with every situation, they might as well come out in full force. It doesn't matter what heroic heroes, famous heroes, or chaos they are.
Just chop it over with a knife."
Tan Lingde ridiculed him, and with good reason, he removed the Luocheng camp from this plan.
Everyone in the hall listened with different expressions. Everyone knew that on the surface he was refuting Lin Yunbo, but in reality he was criticizing Sang Huai and telling everyone in the hall:
It's okay to send out a few soldiers to help. If you want to mobilize a large number of camp troops, you must have an imperial edict or military order!
Wang Jin's eyes were slightly narrowed, his smile was kind, and a touch of anger was well hidden in his eyes, and no one noticed it; Xiao Jing picked up the tea cup, took another sip of the tea soup, and swallowed the unhappiness in his heart together with the tea soup; Hong Taizhu
He looked away coldly, making no secret of his dissatisfaction with Colonel Tan.
The four spectators returned to their original positions and stood silently, each of them knowing very well:
Everyone in the hall, except for the monk who never opened his mouth, none of them can afford to suffer! We just had a little chat, it was okay for a while, but if we really want to fight Colonel Tan, it is tantamount to courting death.
"Amitabha! If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more people? Don't increase the number of killings. If you can use no weapons and the dilemma is resolved, the poor monk is willing to take risks and sacrifice himself to save others." Zen Master Lingzhen was silent.
It took a long time for everyone to finish speaking, and then they slowly advised.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. Wang Jin had always been close to Shimen. Looking at Zen Master Lingzhen who was in a cloudy and fengqing mood, he couldn't help but said sincerely: "The Zen Master is compassionate, does he have any good ideas?"
Zen Master Lingzhen stood up, clasped his palms together, and saluted everyone: "All living beings have Buddha nature, and fierce and stubborn people also have wisdom. The most respected knights in the rivers and lakes, they appear to be here for the 'Sword Like Water', but in fact they are
Come for fame, wealth and power.
Fame, wealth, power and desire all arise from the bad nature of human beings, like floods and ferocious beasts. It is better to be blocked than to be sparse. Although the incense has faded in the Xiangshan Temple where the poor monk lives, he still has a heart for good. In order to solve the troubles in the public mind, he is called Jianghu Ranger.
To be free from weapons, I would like to build a square platform on the Yishui River and sincerely invite heroes from all over the world to hold a grand gathering of rivers and lakes.
Jianghu rangers and green forest heroes can go to the square platform and compete against each other in martial arts. They only decide the outcome, not life and death. The person who has the highest martial arts skills can promise to hand it over to him once he unearths the 'Water Sword'; if the world
There is no such thing as a 'like water sword'. Heroes like this can also be recruited into the palace. Either they join the army and fight with the army, or they stay in the city and become a bad commander, they can all be used by the court."
"What Zen Master said is a wonderful move. It can win over and divide the Jianghu Rangers without having to go to war. I wonder what you think?" Wang Jin still looked calm and glanced at the whole audience.
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and said: "The Zen master's plan is very clever, impartial and fair. It's just that the Zen master's implication seems to be that he also believes that there is a 'water sword' in this world, so he came up with this method of 'the one with the most skill can get it'."
"
"Every cause must have an effect. Nothing in this world is groundless, and the rumors of 'Rushui Sword' are not new in recent years. As early as the founding of the Sheng Dynasty, these rumors have been circulating in the rivers and lakes, so once they are used by someone with intentions,
, must be very easy to spread and form a climate." Zen Master Lingzhen sighed, "It's just that these magical weapons have not been born for hundreds of years, so it is not easy to dig them out."
Xiao Jing nodded: "What the Zen Master said is pertinent. There is really no better way to discuss today, so I will trouble the Zen Master to go back to the temple to make preparations and spend the necessary money. I will send Chen Shaoyin to give it to the Zen Master later.
But there is one more event. This kind of grand gathering in the world has never been seen before in the history books. Therefore, it is necessary to decide on a shocking 'name'. Even if it cannot leave a name in history, it should make the world's warriors dare not underestimate it."
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment, but they all unanimously looked at Wang Jin.
Wang Jin straightened his shoulders and smiled: "The prosperous dynasty worshiped martial arts, and there are many masters! Let's call it the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference'!"
Deliberately manipulated information, like mosquitoes, can always penetrate everywhere and leave hickeys on the fabric of the city.
Taiweigong's plan was not deliberately kept secret. Perhaps it was just an attempt to spread "inside information" through the mouths of others.
So in just a few days, Luoyang Gongmen, Daomen, Shimen, Jianghu, and the market all knew that this "Shendu Martial Arts Conference" initiated by Shimen and strongly supported by Gongmen would soon be held at Longmen Buddha in Luoyang.
In front of the cave, it is held on the Tangyishui River.
For a time, the whole city was buzzing with excitement and excitement. The city's dignitaries, aristocratic families, and even ordinary people all looked forward to it.
In front of the main hall of Taiwei Palace, on the square paved with huge ashlar, Taiwei Palace envoys Wang Jin and Taizhu Hongzhiye were smiling and watching off Henan Yin Xiaojing, Shaoyin Chen Wanglu, Zhiguo Colonel Tan Lingde, Zen Master Lingzhen, and
The masters of the four temples, Jingyun, Longxing, Tongxuan and Futang, left.
This time, all parties are invited to come and plan, and the form is greater than the substance. The main purpose is to win over all parties and end together, so as to prevent Taiwei Palace from falling into a one-on-one fight.
Secondly, the plot to dig out the "Sword Like Water" should be hidden deeper to prevent Taiwei Palace from becoming the target of public criticism.
The third is the concession of interests in the river dredging. When we talked just now, everyone tacitly avoided this topic. Those who were invited knew that some priceless antiquities were unearthed during the river dredging.
Most of it was obtained by Taiwei Palace, and the rest went into Henan Yin's private pocket. Only a few scattered items were given to Shimen and Daomen.
During the camp in Luocheng, there were people who also wanted to take a share of the pie. Unexpectedly, Xiping County Prince Ge Shu Yao, Zhiguo School Lieutenant Tan Lingde and other superior officials prohibited the recruitment of soldiers from participating in this matter. They also privately intervened in the dredging of the river and accepted the payment for the excavation of antiquities.
People, strict military laws were implemented. After that, such thoughts were completely cut off in the camp, so that all the soldiers could concentrate on training.
Therefore, some of the officers and soldiers recruited in the Luocheng camp were naturally excluded from the river dredging. They could only watch helplessly as the Gongmen, Shimen and some Taoist men made a fortune, eating meat and soup, while they themselves had nothing to do.
Swallow.
After all the visitors left the Qionghua Gate of Taiwei Palace, Wang Jin turned around and returned, his face quickly turning pale.
Hong Zhiye hurriedly followed, observing his words and saying: "This Tan Lingde is so ignorant of praise! I went to visit the camp a few days ago, and he was so arrogant. We might as well write a letter and tell the Yuan Prime Minister in detail, and picked his general
title!"
Wang Jin walked slowly and said angrily: "Repair the book, repair the book! At this time, complaining to the Yuan Prime Minister can solve the urgent need! If Tan Lingde dares to make such a noise, isn't it because Shu Yao, the king of Xiping County, is behind him! Killing a Tan Lingde,
There will still be Zhang Lingde, and Wang Lingde will be promoted, and he will still be from Ge Shuyao!"
Hong Zhiye realized that he had lost his words, so he quickly said: "I am a stupid official, please punish me by the palace! However, if there is less troops in the camp, and if there is another mutiny in Tongyuan Canal, it will be difficult to suppress it with the skills of those bad guards."
"
Wang Jin stopped, turned around and sneered: "Without Zhang Butcher, we have to eat pigs with hair on them? Even if the Luocheng camp refuses to send troops, we still have trump cards that we can use. When the situation escalates and we can't send troops, we will
They can’t help it.”
Hong Zhiye said with a smile on his face: "The palace envoy is very resourceful, and I can't match it. I have been to Tongyuan Canal twice recently, and the newly excavated good things have been sent to the treasury, just waiting for you to play with them personally."
Wang Jin picked up his beard and said: "Well done! We have to ask our people to search for the 'Rushui Sword' faster. The 'Hu Ben Guards' who were watching over the Tongyuan Canal can be withdrawn and all remain in Luobinfang.
, practice diligently, and continue to search the Ningbi Pond every day after dusk."
Hong Zhiye nodded in agreement: "The Ningbi Lake is more than 6,300 acres, and the 'Hu Ben Guards' have inspected more than half of it from the outside to the inside. However, recently, Zoroastrian demons have caused a lot of trouble. In order to avoid exposing the matter, the Tiger Guards have been inspecting more than half of it.
They circled around and lured out all the troublemakers. So... not much energy was spent on inspections..."
"I won't listen to this. Hong Zhiye, I entrust you with the management of the 'Hu Ben Guard' so that you can remove obstacles and complete your errands. If you have to ask me for instructions on everything, what's the use of you?!" Wang Jin's voice suddenly sounded.
Changed, and his tone became more severe.
"I know I'm guilty, so I'll go to Tongyuan Canal and deliver the order!" Hong Zhiye was shocked, his knees softened and he almost fell to his knees. He quickly turned around and was about to leave Taiwei Palace.
"Come back!" Wang Jin stopped him and sneered, "In a few days, the new Zoroastrian saint will enter Luoyang. Henan Yin Xiaojing and others have secretly gathered their staff and planned to intercept them in the west of Luoyang City. He came quite well today.
Early in the morning, you were planning this matter with me in detail.
In this way, in addition to the rangers, Taoists, and scattered soldiers you summoned for him before, you can also bring a "Tiger Guard" to ambush nearby. If the Zoroastrian demon is defeated and wants to escape, kill him on the spot. Remember to do it cleanly
Some, don’t leave the beginning or the end.”
Hong Zhiye bowed his hands and bowed again to show respect: "I understand, I will do my best to eradicate evil!"
