Guo Kun sneered and scolded: "This is the good strategy you are going to offer? You said it easily? How sure is it to be so outsmarted? Besides, you are still negotiating with the gangsters? Isn't this the crime of collaborating with the gangsters? What you did
What a bad idea. It’s just nonsense.”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Young prince, if the matter cannot be solved, how do you know that you are not sure? There is only a 10% chance, which is better than doing nothing. Why not give it a try? If it doesn't work, call it again.
Encirclement and suppression by soldiers and horses is just that. And even if outsmarting is unsuccessful, if someone can sneak into the enemy's stronghold and set fire to kill people at the critical moment to coordinate the encirclement and suppression by soldiers and horses, wouldn't it be a waste of time? I personally think that outsmarting has a chance of winning.
I am not just saying this, but bandits are bandits after all. Although they claim to be righteous, they actually do things for profit. But it is profitable, so who is willing to annoy the court and bring about the disaster of annihilation? This robbery of the Queen Mother's birthday will definitely anger the Holy One.
How can the bandits and the court not know this? Therefore, if there is a chance to find out what is good and bad, things can be done. As for what the young prince said about the crime of collaborating with bandits, ordinary people dare to say it, this is hypocritical. Taking back the birthday gift is now
The most urgent task is to leave other things to be discussed later. To take a step back, the prince sent other people to contact Zhizhi, and it was not the prince or the young prince who went there in person. There is really someone who can talk about the matter. The prince and the young prince
Wouldn’t it be possible to push it all away and not know anything else?”
Guo Kun was speechless. In comparison, Lin Jue acted more decisively than him. He was right. The current big crisis is that the birthday gift was robbed. This is the top priority. How can other things be considered so much?
If someone causes trouble in the future, it can indeed be cleared away.
Guo Bing frowned and thought: "A dead horse can be treated as a living horse doctor. This method can be tried temporarily. However, who should be sent to sneak into the bandit camp and contact the bandits? This person must be wise and brave, and not afraid of life and death.
. Go deep into the bandit stronghold, and if you are not good enough, you will never come back. Who can be worthy? And it can only be people from our palace, not from the yamen or the garrison yamen. After all, it is difficult to know the root cause."
Guo Kun thought for a while and said: "Father, is it okay for Shen Tan? In terms of martial arts, loyalty and courage, Shen Tan should be a suitable candidate."
Guo Bing shook his head and said: "What about Shen Tan? He can't do it. His courage and martial arts are certainly good, but his intelligence is insufficient. The most important thing is not martial arts, but intelligence."
"What about my subordinate Liu Chuanfeng? He can be considered very resourceful." Guo Kun said.
"He can't do it either. He has a dull voice and poor eloquence. If he can make a contribution this time, he needs to have excellent eloquence and the ability to speak eloquently." Guo Bing objected again.
Guo Kun scratched his head and said: "Then such people are hard to find. Now I know that there are very few talents in our palace. It will be better to recruit more talents in the future."
Guo Bing sighed and said: "We are usually bustling with people, but when it comes time to employ people, we find that there are many mediocre people. It is really helpless."
Lin Jue said softly: "My lord, my little lord, you don't have to think about it, I can go."
"What? You?" Prince Liang and his son asked in surprise at the same time.
"This strategy was proposed by me, so naturally it's up to me to do it. Firstly, I know how to advance and retreat. Secondly, as the prince said, those who go here will be in extreme danger and even lose their lives. Since it is the method I proposed, how can I
If I can allow others to take risks, it's natural for me to go." Lin Jue said quietly.
Prince Liang and his son frowned and stared at Lin Jue, studying the motives behind Lin Jue's actions. No one took the initiative to take this risk, and they always felt that something was wrong.
"You don't want others to be in danger, so aren't you afraid of death?" Guo Bing asked in a cold voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Majesty, today I come to the palace to plead guilty. If this matter does not happen, what will your Majesty do to me? At this time, I hope that your Majesty will not say anything against your will."
Guo Bing frowned and thought for a while, and said with serious eyes: "I really want to kill you to scare the monkeys. Some people have been disrespectful to the palace recently, and this evil spirit needs to be rectified. But I don't want to kill you, I will only let you...
…Life is worse than death.”
There was a coldness in Guo Bing's tone, which made people deeply understand the meaning of life being worse than death. It must be an extremely cruel and bottomless cruel punishment. Lin Jue had goosebumps all over his body and tried his best to smile.
Said: "Life is worse than death, that is, it is more terrible than death. But since I will end up like that, why should I be afraid to take this risk? The worst result of taking this risk is nothing more than death."
Guo Bing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This reason seems to make sense."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's not just this reason. Let me ask the prince again, if the matter of the robbery of the birthday gift cannot be solved and has to be reported to the court in the end, without anyone else telling me, what kind of punishment will my Lin family receive?"
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Your Lin family? It will inevitably be a catastrophe. If it is found that your Lin family is at fault in escorting, I am afraid that the house will be ransacked and several people will be killed. If it is found that your Lin family is a bandit again,
That would be the annihilation of the entire clan."
Lin Jue said quietly: "However, if it really comes to that point, in order to reduce the guilt, the prince and the various yamen will definitely put all kinds of scapegoats on the Lin family, and even frame me, the Lin family, as a bandit, right?"
Guo Bingbing snorted and said nothing.
Guo Kun shouted: "Lin Jue, watch your words."
Lin Jue sighed and said: "That's all, ordinary people don't think about this too much. Your Majesty should understand by now that my personal safety and the safety of my entire Lin family depend on whether this matter can be resolved. So what reason do I have not to
Going to take this risk? The prince asked me if I was afraid of death. Of course I was scared to death. Who is not afraid of death? But when death is imminent and disaster is imminent, if there is a chance to fight, why should I hesitate? How many times can I fight in life?
I, Lin, feel that this is the glimmer of hope."
Guo Bing looked at Lin Jue in a daze, then suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the table gently, and said in a deep voice: "Well said, there are many times you can fight in life. I appreciate this sentence very much. You may be able to give it a try.
The sky is vast, but you may not be able to survive if you shrink your head. I am moved by you, and your eloquence is absolutely suitable. As for your strategy, I think I have already had a preliminary understanding of it during the Oiran Competition. This candidate must be you."
Seeing this, Guo Kun hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Guo Bing's ear: "Father, aren't you worried that he wants to take the opportunity to escape?"
Lin Jue was only a few feet away from them. Although Guo Kun's voice was small, it reached Lin Jue's ears word for word. Lin Jue felt that although this young prince was tall and tall, he was not very thoughtful.
He is spacious and always likes to treat people with a villain's heart.
However, Guo Bing showed his magnanimity and scolded Guo Kun with a frown: "Kun'er, what are you talking about? Lin Jue has just said it clearly and clearly. Do you still need to doubt it? Besides, if he escaped, can the Lin family escape?
?I think Lin Jue is definitely not that kind of person. From now on, you are not allowed to say a word like this. You still don’t understand what it means to be trustworthy in employing people."
Guo Kun quickly nodded in agreement, his face filled with shame.
…
Guo Bing and his son agreed with Lin Jue's clever plan, but there were still many specific details to discuss. Lin Jue made several requests, which King Liang must meet.
One is the issue of confidentiality. In view of the fact that there is a high possibility of an insider in this incident, Lin Jue asked King Liang to control the plan to a very small scale. The personnel who knew about the matter and assisted must be guaranteed to keep it absolutely confidential.
.
Secondly, there is the issue of manpower. Of course, Lin Jue cannot go into danger alone. He must have a few capable men to go with him. Firstly, he can protect his own safety, and secondly, these people can serve as internal responses and support at critical times.
External encirclement and suppression. Of course, the number of people cannot be too large. Lin Jue believes that a dozen or so people are enough, and more will be useless. In addition, Lin Jue requires that he has absolute control over these people to prevent them from sabotaging the operation.
Thirdly, Lin Jue asked the King of Liang to mobilize a group of skilled craftsmen for his own use, because Lin Jue hoped to create a batch of practical utensils. Those things that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, since he was going to take risks this time, Lin Jue of course had to get them.
Bring it with you when you go out, and you may be able to save your life and kill the enemy at critical moments.
Guo Bing agreed with all the above three points and fulfilled his promise of trusting people. For the first two points, Prince Liang and his son could still understand, but for the third point, Prince Liang and his son were very confused because it seemed to be of no use.
This Lin Jue wants the skilled craftsmen of the palace to help him make something, but I don’t know what the use is? There is nothing in the palace, a sword that can sharpen iron like clay, and armor that can protect against sharp blades. Is there anything that Lin Jue can do more powerful than these?
Things don’t work?
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. It doesn’t matter if you agree. It’s just spending some money and materials to let the craftsmen do things according to Lin Jue’s requirements. Even if it has nothing to do with the plan, it doesn’t matter. After a few major conditions were finalized,
Prince Liang and his son focused on more specific details, such as how to sneak into the bandit stronghold, how to contact the outside world, etc., which all needed to be planned in advance. The more detailed things are considered, the more things will increase.
the likelihood of success.
However, Lin Jue was not keen on talking about this. He only said: "I will act according to the situation."
As for the plan, he just refused to say it out loud, so he stopped asking. In short, Lin Jue gave them the feeling that since the matter is in my hands, I have my own plan. The general direction is good, but the specific details
You don't have to worry, that's my business.
However, another issue that Lin Jue talked about attracted the attention of Prince Liang and his son, and that was the possibility of failure raised by Lin Jue. It goes without saying that the success of this plan is not high from the beginning. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy.
, but how to deal with it once it fails? This is a question that must be considered.
The answer given by Lin Jue was that troops and horses must be mobilized to prepare for a strong attack, subject to a limited time limit. If the deadline is reached, the troops and horses must launch an encirclement and suppression campaign. At that time, Lin Jue and others will respond internally. Regarding the mobilization of troops and horses, it must be
After being worried about the imperial court's approval, Lin Jue even gave a suggestion that frightened both Prince Liang and his son.
Lin Jue's suggestion was to mobilize only Ning Haijun's soldiers and horses, and all of them should be disguised as ordinary people, and secretly assemble somewhere to be on standby. No warships would be used, only civilian ships as disguises. The number of soldiers and horses that could be mobilized at the same time could not be too many. The entire Ning Haijun army
More than 5,000 people, and at most about 1,500 more people will be mobilized to join the more than 2,000 troops still in Chuzhou. In this way, no one will notice the intention of mobilizing troops and horses, and thus discover that there is a secret mobilization of troops and horses.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the King of Liang must deal with Song Yanping, the commander of the Ning Navy, and the two deputy commanders. They must agree to cooperate. To put it bluntly, the whole thing is to deceive the court and secretly mobilize troops to Huainan Road.
Combat. The adventurous idea of making Prince Liang and his son feel guilty for the rigidity of their previous ideas and their lack of flexibility, and they were also shocked by Lin Jue's audacity.
Thinking about it carefully, if Lin Jue's suggestion is followed, this method of secretly deploying troops is feasible. As for Song Yanping and others, Guo Bing naturally has a way to convince them. After all, if this matter cannot be resolved, he would rather the navy
There is no escape from the blame. They are responsible for protecting water transportation. If they don't want to be punished and lose their official positions, they may have no choice but to take risks together. As long as this matter is not known seriously, it is not a big problem. The only thing worth worrying about is that there are so few mobilized
I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to break through the bandit's stronghold on Guishan Island. After all, in the past nearly twenty years, the imperial court has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack several times without success. Of course, if Lin Jue and the others did it internally,
If you start a rebellion and set fire to cause chaos everywhere, it is not impossible to succeed.
In short, Lin Jue gave the advice he could give. As for whether to do it or not, that is the matter of King Liang. Lin Jue has no obligation to persuade him to do it. Especially now, since he has decided to take the risk, Lin Jue
All your energy and brainpower need to be spent on improving the various processes of this plan.
How to sneak into the bandit camp, how to behave, when you can reveal your identity and communicate with the bandit leader, and when you must escape. How to persuade the other party, or if there is no hope of persuasion, is there any other alternative? In short, a series of questions need to be in-depth
Thoughts. Although it is an adventure, Lin Jue never wants to return without success, let alone die there. What he hopes more is to solve this matter, so that he can resolve the conflict with King Liang and allow himself to be in the Lin family.
His status has skyrocketed in an all-round way. After all, this crisis is not part of his experience in the previous life, and the biggest crisis of genocide in the previous life is still to come. He must not forget this under any circumstances.
