Take advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the city of Gela and kidnap the family members of the enemy generals!
This is a very vicious and bold plan.
It was tantamount to completely breaking up with the Tubo government, offending him to death, and leaving no room for change.
Although it can indeed deter invading enemy forces, the question is, how to deal with the aftermath?
Longcuo Territory is Tubo’s territory after all!
Lu Pianpian smiled and said: "Are you worried that it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath? That's because... you don't know the superiors very well."
"In the minds of those in power, the higher the power and the greater the benefits, the more necessary it is... to maintain the status quo!"
"They are the ones who like stability the most. In order to maintain stability, many things can be compromised."
"After all, Long Cuo is the princess's dowry leader, the city lord is the princess's retainer, Jin Guo Niu Ezhen is Dorgon's sworn brother!"
"If we break this stability and make things worse, who will be happiest? It's the political opponents of the Sambu family! It's the Tibetan nobles who are eyeing the position of Jiedushi!"
"At that time, a political opponent will take off the label of opposing the princess and undermining diplomatic relations, and the Jiedushi envoy and others will be caught, and they will most likely lose their official positions."
"If they desperately try to eradicate us at this time, they will be a wedding dress for the next governor. The superiors will not be so motivated."
"Sangbuyundan and others cannot be exploited by political opponents just to get rid of us. After all, they have no deep grudge against us. They are just jealous of our previous gains from confiscating our homes."
"They have robbed us of resources, and it is difficult to make up for the losses in officialdom and prestige."
"For those in power, this matter is not difficult to measure and easy to choose."
"Big men are like hunters. Hunters of course want to eat the meat of their prey and stand tall in front of their prey. But if they have to bear too much of a price, they will give up on the prey."
"Because... you can't do it!"
Gu Yunxiao nodded and said: "What Madam means is that Jiedushi and others will help us deal with the aftermath."
"We just light the fire, and they are the ones who are in a hurry to put it out!"
Xia Chanming also smiled, "It seems to be true. What Madam said is so precise and to the point, isn't it?"
"As long as we cooperate when the time comes, this matter will end up being...a misunderstanding."
"They are unscrupulous, and we are even more unscrupulous. On the contrary, it has become the best way to cut through the mess with a quick knife."
"Yes." Lu Pianpian said firmly, "As long as Sang Buyundan and others are not stupid and are qualified superiors, he will understand that the best way to deal with the aftermath is to let this matter become a misunderstanding."
"When they retreat, all we have to do is cooperate with Sambuyundan."
"Many times smart people are not difficult to deal with, but often the most difficult thing to deal with... is fools."
You Wu smiled and said: "This is a huge deal. Sang Buyundan and others could not have imagined that we would dare to do this."
This is indeed darkness under the lamp.
Lu Pianpian's strategy was entirely to take advantage of Shunzhou's high-level officials' underworld.
Even if Luo Ning was here, he would not dare to risk his life like Lu Pianpian and completely turn against the entire Shunzhou senior management.
Only Lu Pianpian in the entire City Lord's Mansion could do such an unexpected and bold operation without hesitation.
"Let's go to Gela City now!" Xia Chanming stood up, "Before the enemy troops reach the city, the families of Ganglanima and others will capture Longcuo City and use them as hostages!"
Lu Pianpian also stood up, "Then please leave it to Mr. Xia and Mr. Gu!"
After speaking, he ordered: "Gather all the brave warriors in the city to reinforce the city wall! Help defend the city!"
…
The setting sun is like blood, and the ancient road is vast.
Three thousand "thieves" roared out from the mountains and forests, waved various flags, and roared forward.
Although their team was deliberately disorganized, if you were careful, you would see that this disorder was intentional.
These are not those green forest bandits who dominate the mountains.
A monk wearing a mask rode a thousand-mile horse, with a flag behind him that read "The Marshal of the Fruit Festival".
People who don’t know, really think that this person is the biggest bandit leader in Shunzhou, Marshal Guojie!
The flags in the team are the names of each mountaintop.
It really looks like a coalition of thieves and bandits.
But this bandit, three thousand soldiers, all wore Xuanqi armor inside!
Although they deliberately did not ride horses, the few war horses accompanying the army were all thousand-mile horses!
"General!" Suddenly several scouts came on horseback and came to the leading masked monk.
The masked monk whipped off his whip, "You bastard! You should call me the leader of the village!"
"Fortress leader." The scout who was whipped immediately changed his words.
"I just found out the news that Longcuo City actually knows that we are going to attack. Rumors are flying around now, saying..."
"What?! Do they know we are going to attack?" The masked monk's tone suddenly became cold and stern, "What rumors? Tell me!"
"Oh!" The scout didn't dare to hide it.
"It is said... that the Jiedushi, the Governor and others were dissatisfied with the princess and sent troops to pretend to be bandits, intending to massacre the princess's dowry collar and separatist power to rebel!"
"Rebellion, separatism?!" The masked monk was startled, "Who spread the rumor? Are you crazy!"
"Okay, what's the point of rebellion? What's the point of seizing a kingdom! Who dares to oppose the princess?! You bastard!"
It was true that they wanted to capture Longcuo City, but they did so in the name of robbing and killing people with the alliance of thieves and bandits.
But now there are rumors that Jiedushi and others are going to rebel against the separatist regime and attack the princess territory!
How dare someone make such bold rumors!
Aren't you afraid of offending Jiedushi, Xibian, Commander...?
"General Ganglanima." Another masked monk came over, "What should we do now? The rumormongers are too bold and vicious."
"If we really destroy Longcuo City, how can we clean it up? We will probably become a scapegoat."
"After all, Longcuo is also the princess's dowry territory..."
The leader of the army, Ganglanima, was also in a difficult situation at this time.
Retreat the troops... The military order has been issued, how can we withdraw the troops? Impossible.
But if we continue to march and such "rumors" are spread now, how will we deal with the aftermath?
No one believed that it was the bandits who did it. They only said that it was their officers and soldiers pretending to be bandits.
By then, someone will definitely take the blame!
He, Lani Ma, won’t be the one who takes the blame in the end, right?
Unexpectedly, the people in Longcuo City dared to spread such rumors. They were so courageous. They were openly enemies of Shunzhou senior officials.
Aren't they afraid of the wrath of Lord Jieduzhi?
On the ground in Shunzhou, what would be the consequences of offending Lord Jiedushi?
How dare they?!
"Set up camp on the spot! Repair!" Ganglanima ordered helplessly, whipping hard in the air.
hateful!
We can only stop the advance temporarily.
"Come here, report to the Jiedushi Mansion and the Governor's Mansion! Wait for the orders from the Jiedushi Master and the Governor!"
Three thousand soldiers and horses camped on the spot, and two thousand-mile horses galloped out to report the news to the Jiedushi and the governor respectively.
The march of the "thieves and bandits" was finally delayed!
………
"Bold! Bastard!"
Jiedushi Sangbuyundan was actually a well-educated person.
As someone who holds a high position and is a master of the fourth level of perfection, Sangbuyundan's Qi-nurturing skills are certainly extraordinary.
Very few people see his anger. Even when encountering major problems, he responds calmly, even showing no emotion or anger.
But at this time, Sangbuyundan could not help but get angry in the flower hall.
I really can't stand it any longer.
There are actually rumors that he sent troops to pretend to be bandits, rob and kill the wrong leader, oppose the princess, and rebel against the regime!
Rebellion! What a big crime!
Not to mention him, the governor of Shunzhou, even the prime minister of Dongfu who manages the eastern states cannot bear such a crime!
This is a crime that makes the whole family lose their heads!
Even if you lend him some courage, he would not dare to oppose the princess and rebel against the regime.
Can this kind of rumor be said?
Luo Ning's courage is so great and wild.
How dare this Xia wolf cub dare to slander him like this!
He originally thought that as soon as the "thieves" arrived, Luo Ning would abandon the city and run away.
Then, in the name of bandits, Longcuo City was destroyed.
Then, in the name of suppressing thieves and suppressing rebellion, officers and soldiers were officially sent into Longcuo territory to suppress the "thieves and bandits".
Finally, he reported to the Prime Minister and Princess of Dongfu and re-appointed one of his own as the Lord of Longcuo City.
It stands to reason that since Luoning's army is weak, he can only abandon the city and run away, automatically giving up his identity as city lord.
Unexpectedly, this wolf bastard was so vile and shameless that he dared to make such a big fuss and slander himself!
In this way, although Luo Ning offended himself to death, he also fell into a great passive position.
Even if he were killed, he might not be able to keep his position as military governor.
