In the Juyi Hall of Luoyan Valley, a meeting involving senior key personnel was taking place. They had just attended the funeral of five murdered brothers, so after gathering here, the atmosphere was still solemn and depressing.
Gao Muqing sat on the first seat above and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, what happened today is the first time someone has been killed in our Luoyan Valley Dazhai in two months. And they were five good brothers. Their deaths cost us
Five capable brothers also reminded us of one thing. We are still in a dangerous situation surrounded by wolves and may be eaten at any time. We cannot take it lightly. Regarding this matter, I would like to hear
What do you think?"
"Master of Dazhai, it is Zuo Zongdao's people who took action this time. Master of Dazhai should immediately send someone to send a letter to Zuo Zongdao and seek justice from him. His men are doing such nonsense, doesn't he care?" Yuan Lang, the leader of the third village, stood up.
Loudly.
"What a joke, brother Yuan, haven't you figured out the situation yet? Zuo Zongdao, the old dog, has been preparing to bite people for a long time. If he didn't give orders this time, how could his men do it? Zuo Zongdao followed us
The day we were out of his control and not used by him, he was already holding back his energy to deal with us. It's a shame that you still have hope in him. Wake up." Liang Qi frowned and said loudly.
Yuan Lang frowned and said: "Brother Liang, I didn't know that Zuo Zongdao was dissatisfied with us, but after all, it was Bao Meng who launched a full-scale attack on us before, and Zuo Zongdao's people did not participate. After all, Zuo Zongdao came from our Guishan Island
People also have respect for the old village leader. What I mean is that even if we know that he has evil intentions, we cannot fall out with him at this time. After all, it is Bao Meng who wants to kill us. At the same time, we and Bao Meng
Zuo Zongdao is our enemy, how can we resist him?"
"What the Third Village Master said makes sense. With our current strength, it is already very difficult to resist Bao Meng's attack. We must not add another powerful enemy. Bao Meng is our biggest enemy at present. Hundreds of our brothers and people
They all died at the hands of Bao Meng. Although what happened today, we can only endure it for the time being. After Bao Meng is dealt with, we can come back to settle the blood debt with Zuo Zongdao. Now the leader of the village can write a letter to Zuo Zongdao.
Zongdao, tell him that we know they were accidentally injured and let him apologize. It is not appropriate to pursue further investigations." Lu Yi, the leader of the fourth village, spoke up.
"What are you talking about? Are you still a man?" Qin Chuncao, the leader of the fifth village, stood up and angrily shouted: "They killed five of our brothers, and you still pretend not to know? Do you still want to be with Xini? Then Zuo Zongdao is a good person
Something? Fortunately, you are still the leader of the village, so you actually say such things, which is really chilling."
"Master of the Five Villages, don't talk like that. Who do you think we are? Over the years, on Guishan Island and in the Funiu Mountains, when did I, Yuan Lang, ever fear death or retreat? I frowned during that battle.
A brow? I have more than 20 scars on my body, large and small. How have I ever cried out in pain or admitted to being scared? What I said just now was not for the sake of copycats? If I are against Bao Meng and Zuo Zongdao at the same time, then what will happen to me?
After a while, it was not only Bao Meng's men who attacked, but also Zuo Zongdao's men. It was already difficult for us to deal with Bao Meng's Beishan Dazhai alone, let alone Zuo Zongdao. Zuo Zongdao's men were very close.
There are more than 1,700 soldiers and horses. As the saying goes, a good man will not suffer immediate losses. We cannot ignore the overall situation just because of temporary anger." Yuan Lang said loudly with a blushing face.
Chun Cao blushed and said: "Anyway... Anyway, I just don't think we can do this. Even if we die, we must die with dignity. Living with such humiliation, is it worthy of those brothers who died in the war? I'm stupid, anyway, I
I feel like I can’t do this.”
Yuan Lang sighed: "Then tell me, what should we do now? Send troops to attack Zuo Zongdao?"
Chun Cao shook his head and said, "I...I don't know."
Yuan Lang spread his hands towards the dozen or so backbones around him and asked, "What do you think, brothers? What should we do now? Besides being patient, what should we do?"
Everyone was silent. They couldn't answer Yuan Lang's question. They understood that it was not a matter of will. At present, the strength of the copycat was still far behind that of the opponent. If it was just to defend or possibly resist for a while, then there was no way to think about it.
. Therefore, it seems that the only way to die of these five brothers is to swallow their anger.
In the silence, Liang Qi turned his attention to Lin Jue, who was sitting aside. Lin Jue was the military advisor, and his seat was next to Gao Muqing. He didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and only listened carefully to everyone's arguments. Liang Qi knew that at the moment,
At this time, perhaps only Mr. Lin can do anything. Because Liang Qi has personally gone through life and death with Lin Jue, he knows Lin Jue's ability.
"Brothers, please stop arguing. I think it's better to let the stronghold leader and military advisor make up their mind on this matter. We don't have any good ideas, but the stronghold leader and military advisor must have good ideas. Let's...
It's better to follow the orders of the village master and military advisor." Liang Qi said.
"That's right, we are noisy. The military advisor and the commander of the village have not spoken. We have been arguing for a long time with no results. It is better to keep it simple and save trouble. Whatever the commander and the military advisor say, we will do what we do." Everyone suddenly understood and started talking one after another.
Agreed.
Gao Muqing smiled slightly, turned to look at Lin Jue and said: "In that case, please ask the military advisor to talk about it, otherwise the brothers will be so noisy that their faces will be red and their necks will be thick."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Jue's face. Lin Jue had lowered his head in thought, but he raised his head at this moment. Everyone looked at Lin Jue's face, and their hearts suddenly trembled. Lin Jue's face was very serious.
Dark clouds were gathering.
Lin Jue stood up slowly, glanced at the whole place, and said in a deep voice: "I heard what all the village leaders said just now. I can only say that you don't know enough about the current situation. Third Village Leader, I admit your
It is not unnecessary to worry, and I also believe that you are thinking about the overall situation of the copycat. However, you have to understand one thing, patience and weakness will never have a place in Funiu Mountain. Did you go to Zuo Zongdao before and show weakness to the extreme?
But how does he treat you? He just wants to use you to gain territory for him, because you are outsiders. Afterwards, he will blame it on you and make you the target of public criticism. He has no good intentions from the beginning.
If you want to take advantage of your power, you will be abandoned later. What you said about the relationship between him and your Guishan Island is just your own wishful thinking. If he is really a grateful person, then
How could you abandon Guishan Island?"
Yuan Lang frowned and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What the military advisor said makes sense. Maybe my understanding is wrong."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who Zuo Zongdao is. When considering the problem, you must have a long-term perspective. The leader of the third village is right to start from the standpoint of the cottage, but your vision is a little short-sighted. I only want to ask you one thing, cottage
How will we survive and develop in the future?”
Yuan Lang frowned and said, "Isn't it written in the military advisor's plan?"
Lin Jue said: "That's the plan. I did write a lot of it, and you all have read it. I proposed self-reliance and self-sufficiency, so that we can ensure the sustainability of the village and not be trapped and die here. So how can we become self-reliant and self-sufficient?"
"Didn't the military advisor say that the land in Luoyan Valley can be used to grow food? We have the manpower to grow food," Yuan Lang said.
Lin Jue said: "Then, what should we do if others come to rob us when the food is ripe? What should we do if Bao Meng and Zuo Zongdao's people come to rob our food and kill our people? Our Luoyan Army only has 300 people. We have to guard the stronghold and also have to fight for our lives.
Can we protect the food and people in the valley?"
"This... I'm afraid it can't be done." Yuan Lang frowned.
Lin Jue said coldly: "Then what should we do? Hasn't the plan for the cottage become a piece of paper? Maybe we shouldn't grow food? Just keep the cottage? But what will happen after a few months? The food will be cut off? Where can we get food and grass? What if the officers and soldiers blockade it?
What about the road outside the mountain? Even if I give you money, you can't buy it. By then, what will the two thousand or two thousand people in the village eat and drink? Have you thought about it?"
"This..." Not only Yuan Lang was speechless, but everyone else was also speechless.
"In fact, the problem is very simple. If you don't grow food, you will starve to death, so food must be grown, and the village must be self-sufficient. Then, if we want to grow food safely and live a stable life, we must eliminate the dangers that bring us
For now, they are Bao Meng and Zuo Zongdao’s troops. Therefore, what you are thinking about should be how to eliminate Bao Meng and Zuo Zongdao’s troops. This is what you should be thinking about every day. Absolutely not
It is to muddle along, or even to be patient and seek perfection. The death of five brothers in the valley today is indeed a sad and infuriating thing, but have you ever thought about it? This is the reality. The threat of the enemy is not a matter of whether you think about it or whether you can bear it.
The problem is. If you don’t want to, they will come and kill your people. If you endure, they will come and kill your people. So, this is not based on our will. In this case, what we have to do is
Yes, abandon all illusions and be firm in one mind. If we want to survive, they must die. This is a contest where you die or I die. In the end, only one party can survive, and there is no room for it. And this is you.
It should be a topic of intense debate, not anything else." Lin Jue spoke eloquently every word.
Everyone had a feeling of enlightenment. All illusions should be abandoned. This is a life-and-death struggle, and in the end there can only be one winner. These words crushed all the luck, hesitation and illusions in their hearts.
Let everyone fall into the cold reality.
"I know you must be asking, with our current strength, how can we eliminate them? I can only tell you that if you can't, you must be able. Once you enter Funiu Mountain, you have entered hell. You can live as long as you want.
You must be able to defeat them, otherwise you will die. No matter who you are in the current situation, you must have a belief in fighting to the end and a courage that can only win but not lose. If you don't have this spirit, I advise you to deal with it as soon as possible.
Leave the package, because what awaits you is a dead end."
"Military strategist, I, Liang Qi, am not afraid of death, but the strategist said that just not being afraid of death is not a hero. There is value in dying. What does the military strategist think we should do? I, Liang Qi, would like to be the first to rush to the front.
Lose your head. As long as we can defeat them." Liang Qi stood up, patted her chest and shouted.
"Yuan Lang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I am also willing to be the first to rush forward. Why should I be afraid of death?" Yuan Lang also shouted loudly.
The rest of the people also stood up one after another to express their opinions, and for a while they became angry and made a fuss.
Lin Jue waved his hands and said: "Everyone, sit down and listen to what I have to say. Do you want to die? There is no need to be in such a hurry. The Palace of the King of Hell is not too crowded."
