Chapter 992 The old man cry when the new man laughs
After listening to Elder Tang's words, Wang Xian thought for a moment and said slowly: "In the humble opinion of a student, the internal worries mentioned by the elder are actually external worries. The real crux of the elder's inability to unify the whole religion is probably Le'an Prefecture."
"Are you talking about the King of Han?" Elder Tang's eyes lit up and he said with deep understanding: "You are absolutely right. Zhu Gaoxu has penetrated too deeply into the three prefectures of Jinan, Dengzhou and Laizhou. Dong Yangao, Bai Baier and others are all working with him.
There are thousands of connections, so I dare to be obedient to me and have many different ambitions!"
"So, with all due respect to the students, if the elder wants to succeed in one fell swoop and make this religion a monolith, it will be even more difficult if he doesn't get rid of the King of Han first!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.
"Hey! King Han..." Elder Tang said with a bitter mouth: "It's all my fault that I am blind and there is no one who understands around me. I originally thought that he wanted to collude with us in big things. Unexpectedly, after the incident, this guy immediately changed his mind.
Draw a clear line with us! It turns out he just wants to use us to achieve his goal of making a comeback!"
"Elder, don't mention the past anymore. Don't you have a student now? It's not too late for us to start planning from now on!" Wang Xian shook his feather fan lightly and said in his masterly manner: "As a student
In my opinion, the elder has a great chance of success! As long as we deal with the remaining officers and soldiers, eliminate the King of Han, and have no worries, we can march eastward to seize the entire Shandong and block the Grand Canal!"
"Oh?" Elder Tang was slightly surprised. His original plan was to seize Shandong and then march north to attack Beijing! But Wang Xian's plan was to march eastward and seize the Shandong section of the canal.
"Elders should know that after the imperial court moved the capital, millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing relied on supplies from the south of the Yangtze River, and all supplies had to go north from the Grand Canal!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "As long as we cut off the canal for three months, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.
Turn it into a dead city, and when the elite troops march northward, they will surely march straight into the capital!" Wang Xian planned a tempting blueprint for Elder Tang.
Elder Tang was not completely carried away, but asked calmly: "Zhu Di is not a fool emperor. If the canal is blocked, the entire country's troops will be sent to save it! How can we resist it then?"
"Hey, my lord, you are worrying too much." Wang Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "If Zhu Di could mobilize the entire country's troops, we would have been attacked by the army long ago!" He said with a light smile: "But now, it has been nearly half a year since the uprising.
, where are the officers and soldiers from other places?”
"Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng led 10,000 forbidden troops and arrived in Jinan City a long time ago." Elder Tang said.
"Hahaha! The Ming Dynasty had more than one million troops. But it only sent 10,000 horses to Shandong. Doesn't this explain the problem?" Wang Xian shook his feather fan, strong self-confidence flourished, and he spoke categorically to the Tang Dynasty.
The elder said: "It is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty's finances have been extremely depleted. The indiscriminate issuance of treasure money has overstretched the people's power for more than ten years, and now there is nothing to scratch! There is no money in the Ming Dynasty's treasury. Not only that.
, the arrears of military pay and official salary have reached an appalling level! If you want to send out the army, you must at least make up for the arrears. You must also raise military supplies and reward the three armies. Where can Zhu Di raise money and food? In this case, what should he do?
Dare to mobilize his army?"
"Is it really so?" Elder Tang was stunned by Wang Xian's words. After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "Is it really so..." Elder Tang knew long ago that the White Lotus Sect is now blooming all over Shandong, and it is really because of the weakness of the imperial court.
It’s a gift from nothing! Elder Tang was also puzzled by this. Wang Xian’s words really made him enlightened!
"Oh sir, you are such a talented man! You have solved a mystery that has puzzled me for a long time!" Elder Tang excitedly took Wang Xian's hand and laughed loudly: "It's funny, I thought the imperial court had some conspiracy, but it turns out it's just powerless! Haha!
Haha! We can achieve great things, great things can be achieved!"
"Students are willing to assist the elders and create the foundation for eternity! Give the people a peaceful and prosperous age!" Wang Xian was also very excited and almost burst into tears.
But in fact, Wang Xian's words can only be said to be half true and half false. Although the Ming Dynasty was indeed overstretched and in a very dangerous situation, the army was almost unaffected, and Zhu Di's control over the army was not weakened, but Wang Xian had already
After understanding Zhu Di's intentions, he knew that the emperor just wanted to sit back and watch the chaos in Shandong escalate, so he would not send more troops into Shandong.
As for cutting off the Grand Canal, it will naturally seriously threaten the safety of Beijing. However, according to the plan Wang Xian made for Elder Tang, it is impossible to reach that step, and the White Lotus Sect will wither and fall...
After a moment of excitement, Elder Tang took advantage of the excitement and said: "There are still a few days until the autumn harvest is over. At that time, I will gather all my best troops and march straight to Jinan! Then I will wipe out all the officers and soldiers in Shandong and cut off the Grand Canal!"
"Hey, Elder, you must not take Jinan first, otherwise you will have to make wedding clothes for the King of Han!" Wang Xian quickly dissuaded him: "The student just said that the King of Han is our biggest threat! If the Elder attacks Jinan first, the emperor will definitely use it.
King of Han, we have already suffered losses with both the government and the army. How can we be the opponent of King Han’s army who is just waiting for work?” He said with a sigh: “By then King Han will have the military and political power in Shandong. I’m afraid someone will turn against him as soon as he waves his flag. We will fight against him.”
There will be chaos if we don’t fight!”
"This..." Elder Tang pinched his chin, his expression became solemn, and he said that it was true. The King of Han had at least 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers, plus Dong Yangao, Bai Baier and other young men. If he attacked Jinan first, he would probably let him
Just reap the benefits! "What do you think, sir?"
"In the humble opinion of the students, the top priority is to completely unify the religion, quickly reorganize the army, and when the combat power is raised to the highest point, suddenly send troops to Le'an Prefecture to eliminate Zhu Gaoxu!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Once the king of Han is destroyed, Shandong will be destroyed.
If we waver, the enemy troops in Jinan City will definitely be frightened by the news, and the army can take advantage of the situation and come down, and then everything will be settled!"
"Well!" Elder Tang's blood boiled with excitement. After nodding heavily, he said with a guilty conscience: "Not to mention that the King of Han is still at peace with us on the surface, but he is a world-famous general. Can we defeat him?
?”
"The elder also said that everything is fine on the surface! But the King of Han has already been ready to attack! We are just waiting for an order from the court!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, elder, we are waiting for him to be ready and attack in due course.
Is it better to take it by surprise? Or is it better to take it by surprise and take it by surprise?"
"Of course it's the latter..." Elder Tang said matter-of-factly.
"That's it, so elders must not be bound by the so-called covenant. You know, the covenant is meant to be torn up!" Wang Xian brainwashed Elder Tang, and the effect was quite good. He had already seen the murderous look in Elder Tang's eyes.
!
"As for whether he can defeat the King of Han, it's not a problem! How does the King of Han compare with the former Overlord of Chu? Wasn't Han Xin ambushed from all sides and forced him to kill himself in Wujiang River!" Wang Xian said, taking out a map from his sleeve and placing it on the river.
He told Elder Tang about his plan to deal with Zhu Gaoxu in detail. Elder Tang's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy.
Unconsciously, the rooster crowed in the east, and the two of them talked until dawn. Elder Tang was not tired at all. After listening to Wang Xian's strategy, he had a clear understanding and confidence in destroying the king of Han, occupying Shandong, and then seizing the world.
It has never been as intense as this moment!
Some families were happy and some were sad. Elder Tang and Wang Xian were so late in seeing each other there that they wished they could sleep together, but Bin Hong couldn't sleep all night long. Only Military Advisor Bin knew how difficult this long night was.
. He originally thought that if he left the meeting in anger, Elder Tang would definitely understand his feelings, and even if he didn't say it at the time, he would call him over for a heart-to-heart talk later.
Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, Elder Tang did not send anyone over. Bin Hongxin asked, is the old man drunk? He asked the attendant to go over and inquire. As a result, the attendant came back and said that Elder Tang was in high spirits. After the banquet, he was alone again.
The new Mr. Hei was left to continue drinking tea and talking... At this time, Bin Hong completely overturned the five-flavor bottle and said to himself, it seems that the elder really likes the man named Hei. Could it be that he likes the new and dislikes the old?
But he still had a trace of fantasy, thinking that after the elder and the man named Hei finished talking, he would call me over. So he sat there, staring out the window with bloodshot eyes... until it got daylight.
, Bin Hong asked in a hissing voice: "Has the man named Hei left the elder's place?"
Bin Hong's attendant stayed up all night with him, and he was so groggy that he could fall asleep even standing up. When he heard Bin Hong's question, the attendant casually replied without thinking, "No."
"Nonsense, you didn't even look at it, how do you know?!" Seeing that the attendant was perfunctory with him, Bin Hong couldn't help but became furious: "You don't even take me seriously?!"
"Oh, sir, you asked dozens of times in one night, and the villain also ran over and asked dozens of times..." The attendant said with a bitter face: "Every time, people said that the elder and Mr. Hei talked very happily, no
I mean to stop. I don’t have to worry about running another errand, but I still have to take your face into consideration..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, am I embarrassed?!" Bin Hong cursed the attendant, but made no attempt to urge him out. After sitting in silence for a while, Bin Hong's eyes turned red, and he said with infinite disappointment: "Your master
I’m going to fall out of favor..."
"Master, you are thinking too much." The attendant quickly tried to persuade him: "You are an old brother who has been with the elder for decades. How can you be compared to a newcomer who has just arrived? In my opinion, the elder just met him for a while.
I’m so happy that in a few days I’ll let the guy with the surname Hei stay wherever it’s cool…”
"There is some truth in what you said..." Bin Hong thought about it. He is actually the second-in-command in the sect. How could he be discouraged so easily? Someone with the surname Hei dared to compete with me to see if I would kill him.
Break it into pieces and feed it to the dog!
After thinking about this, Bin Hong finally got the fighting spirit and stopped sitting around feeling sad. He lay down on the bed and went to sleep. Only when he had regained his energy could he fight with the new guy named Hei! For mobile phone users, please visit http:/
