high official

Chapter 942

After listening to Elder Tang's words, Wang Xiansi thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Based on the students' humble opinion, what the elder said is internal troubles, but in fact external troubles. The real crux of the elder's inability to integrate the whole teaching is probably in Le'an Prefecture."

"You mean the King of Han?" Elder Tang's eyes lit up, and he said with deep conviction, "You're right, that is, Zhu Gaoxu's penetration into Jinan, Dengzhou, and Laizhou was too deep. There are innumerable ties, that's why I dare to be obedient to this old man, so I have a different ambition!"

"So I'm sorry for the students' bluntness. If the elder wants to succeed in one fell swoop and make the sect into 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! The King of Han..." Elder Tang said bitterly, "It's all because I have no eyes and no one around me who understands. At first I thought he was trying to conspire with us, but who would have thought that after the incident, this guy would change his tune immediately. Draw a clear line with us! It turned out that he just wanted to use us to achieve his goal of making a comeback!"

"Elder, don't mention the past again. Don't you have students now? It's not too late for us to start planning now!" Wang Xian shook his feather fan lightly, and then put on the air of a master: "Students In my opinion, the Elder has a great chance of success! As long as we get rid of the remaining officers and troops and eliminate the King of Han, we can move eastward to capture the entire Shandong and cut off the Grand Canal without any worries!"

"Oh?" Elder Tang was slightly surprised. His original plan was to go northward after capturing Shandong, heading straight to Beijing!But Wang Xian's plan was to advance eastward and seize the Shandong section of the canal.

"The elders should know that after the imperial court moved the capital, the millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing depended on the south of the Yangtze River for supplies, 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 if you go north with an elite force, you will surely enter the capital like a broken bamboo!" Wang Xian drew up a tempting blueprint for Elder Tang.

Elder Tang was not completely dazed, but asked calmly: "Zhu Di is not an idiot emperor. If the canal is cut off, the whole country will definitely be sent to rescue it! How can we resist then?"

"Hey, my lord is worrying too much." Wang Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "If Zhu Di could send the whole country's troops, we would have been sent to the city by the officers and soldiers long ago!" He said with a contemptuous smile: "But now, it has been nearly half a year since the incident , where are the officers and soldiers from other places?"

"Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, led the [-] imperial troops, and they have already arrived in Jinan City." Elder Tang said.

"Hahaha! In such a big Ming Dynasty, there were more than a million soldiers? But only 1 Malays were sent to Shandong. Doesn't this explain the problem?" Wang Xian shook his feather fan, with strong self-confidence flourishing, and resolutely confronted Tang. The elder said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the finances of the Ming Dynasty have been extremely exhausted. The excessive issuance of precious banknotes has overdrawn the power of the people for more than ten years, and now it has been wiped out! There is no money in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, not only that. , The arrears of military salaries have reached an appalling level! If you want to start the army, at least you have to make up for the arrears first, and you have to raise military supplies and reward the three armies, right? Where will Zhu Di go to raise money and food? In this case, how? Dare to mobilize his army?"

"Is that so?" Elder Tang was stunned by Wang Xian's words. After pondering for a long time, Fang Changchang sighed: "It's really so..." Elder Tang knew a long time ago that the situation where the White Lotus Sect is blooming everywhere in Shandong is really due to the weakness of the imperial court. Powerless gift!Elder Tang was also puzzled by this, but Wang Xian's words really made him suddenly enlightened!

"Oh sir, you are so talented! You have solved the mystery that has puzzled me for a long time!" Elder Tang excitedly took Wang Xian's hand, and laughed loudly: "It's ridiculous that I thought the court had some kind of conspiracy, but it turned out to be powerless! Haha Haha! I'm waiting for great success, great success!"

"Students are willing to assist the elders to create the foundation of eternal life! Return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world!" Wang Xian was also very excited, tears were about to flow down.

But in fact, Wang Xian's words can only be said to be half-truths and half-false. Although the Ming Dynasty was indeed overdrawn, it was in a very dangerous situation.But the army was hardly affected, and Zhu Di's control over the army has not weakened, but Wang Xian has already seen Zhu Di's intentions, knowing that the emperor just wants to sit back and watch the chaos in Shandong escalate, so he will not send more troops in. Shandong.

As for cutting off the Grand Canal, it will naturally seriously threaten the safety of Beijing, but according to Wang Xian's plan for Elder Tang, it is impossible to reach that step, and the White Lotus Sect will wither and decline...

.

Excited for a while, Elder Tang took the opportunity to say: "In a few days, the autumn harvest will be over. At that time, the old man will use his best troops to attack Jinan! Then wipe out all the official troops in Shandong and cut off the Grand Canal!"

"Hey, elder, you must not take Jinan first, or you will have to make wedding clothes for the King of Han!" Wang Xian hurriedly dissuaded him: "The student just said that the King of Han is our biggest threat! If the elders attack Jinan first, the emperor will definitely use it." The King of Han, we have already suffered both defeats with the officials and the army, how can we be the opponent of the King of Han army who is waiting for work?" He said with a sigh: "When the time comes, the King of Han will hold the military and political power in Shandong, I am afraid that with a wave of the flag, some people will turn against each other, and we will There will be chaos without a fight!"

"This..." Elder Tang squeezed his chin, his expression became solemn, and he said that it was true. The King of Han had at least [-] to [-] elite soldiers, plus Dong Yangao and Bai Baier. If he attacked Jinan first, he might let him Sit back and reap the benefits! "What about the opinion of Mr.?"

"Based on the humble opinion of the students, the most urgent task is to completely unify the sect and quickly reorganize the army. When the combat power is raised to the highest point, it will 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 Shaken, the enemy army in Jinan City will be terrified, and the army can take advantage of the situation, and the event will be settled!"

"Hmm!" Elder Tang was so excited when he was told, he nodded heavily, but then 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-renowned hero, can we defeat him? ?”

"The elder also said, it's just that everything is fine on the surface! But the King of Han has already been ready to attack! We just wait for an order from the court!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, elder, we are waiting for him to be ready, justified and justified to attack Is it better to catch them by surprise, or to catch them unawares?"

"Of course it's the latter..." Elder Tang took it for granted.

"That's it, so elders must not be bound by the so-called covenant, you know, the covenant is for being 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 we can defeat the King of Han, that's even more important! How is the King of Han compared to the former overlord of Chu? Wasn't he forced to kill himself in the Wujiang River by being ambushed by Han Xin!" Wang Xian said, taking out a map from his sleeve, and I am going to deal with Zhu Gaoxu's plan, and I will tell Elder Tang in detail.Elder Tang's eyes widened when he heard it, and his breathing became heavy.

Before they knew it, the Dongfang rooster crowed, and the two of them kept talking about the dawn. Elder Tang wasn't tired at all.After listening to Wang Xian's strategy, he already had a clear understanding of destroying the King of Han, occupying Shandong, and then conquering the world, and his confidence has never been so strong like this moment!
Some families were happy and some were sad. Elder Tang and Wang Xian hated seeing each other over there, and when they wished they could go to sleep, Bin Hong suffered from insomnia all night.This long night, how hard it is, only Junshi Bin himself knows.He originally thought that Elder Tang would definitely understand his feelings when he left the meeting in a fit of anger. Even if he didn't say it at the time, he would call him over to have a heart-to-heart talk later.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, Elder Tang sent someone over, Bin Hong asked in his heart, is the old man drunk?So he asked the attendant to inquire, but the attendant came back and said that Elder Tang was in high spirits, and after the banquet was over, he left the new Mr. Hei alone, continuing to drink tea and talk... Now Bin Hong's heart was completely overturned. Bottle, Xin said, it seems that the elder really likes that surnamed Hei, does he want to like the new and dislike the old?

But he still had a little fantasy, thinking that after the elder and Hei finished talking, he would call me over.So he sat there, staring straight at the window with his bloodshot eyes... Waiting until the sky was getting brighter, Bin Hong asked in a hissed voice, "Has that Hei left the elder?"

Binhong's attendant stayed up with him all night, and he was so groggy that he could fall asleep standing up.Hearing Binhong's question, the attendant didn't even think about it, so he replied casually: "No."

"Nonsense, you didn't go to see it, how do you know?!" Seeing that the attendants were perfunctory, Bin Hong couldn't help being furious: "Don't even you take me seriously?!"

"Oh, master, you asked dozens of times in one night, and the villain also ran over to ask dozens of times..." The attendant said with a bitter face: "Every time people say that the elder and Mr. It means to stop. I don’t have to worry about another errand, but I still have to take care of your face..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, is I ashamed?!" Bin Hong scolded the attendant, but didn't intend to urge him to go out.After sitting silently for a while, Binhong's eye circles turned red, and he said with infinite disappointment: "Your master is about to fall out of favor..."

"Master, you think too much." The attendant hurriedly persuaded: "You are an old brother who has been with the elder for decades, how can he be compared with a newcomer who just arrived? According to the villain, the elder just met the hunter for a while. Xinxi, in a few days, I will let that surnamed Hei stay where it is cool..."

"There is some truth in what you said..." Bin Hong thought for a moment. He was actually the second-in-command in the sect. How could he be discouraged so easily? Hei dared to grab the chair from Lao Tzu, and see if Lao Tzu didn't chop him up Broken feed the dog!

Thinking about it this way, Bin Hong finally had the will to fight, and stopped sitting and mourning, and went to sleep on the bed.Only when you have enough energy can you go to fight the newcomer surnamed Hei!
