Chapter 22: The Rivers and Lakes

"San'er, a few days ago, you were asked to investigate a small gang of about twenty people near Hedong, how is the investigation?"

Yi Shuihan put away the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand and said to Wen Sandao who came in from outside the house.

"Well, it's been investigated, Brother Han."

Wen San paused, and then continued.

"We have two small gangs of about 20 people in Hedong, which are not gangs of that kind of small gang. Outside Hedong, there is a small force of about 30 people, all of whom are social gangsters who make a living by watching the scene and collecting protection money from the stall owners. ”

"Hmm."

Yi Shuihan nodded and groaned, thinking quietly.

Swallowing up the power of other gangs, the big fish eating the small fish, is the best way to quickly develop your own power. Of course, there is also a certain risk, if you kick the iron plate or encounter a gang with backing, then there is a risk of stealing chickens and rice, and it is difficult to say whether it will be swallowed up by others.

But this is the rivers and lakes, you come and go, it's like a gamble, and the victory or defeat is just a moment. It depends on fighting with the sky, the earth, and people, and of course, you also need a little luck in it.

In the rivers and lakes, there are deceptions every day. In the cauldron of rivers and lakes, either life or death, no one can stay out of it. Every day here is full of people and lively, but behind this bustle, there are many bloody winds and intrigues.

However, for the Jianghu people, they have long been accustomed to it. If you don't count others, others will count you. It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it doesn't matter if it's black or white. Right and wrong, black and white, has always been told by children. Jianghu people have always only talked about interests.

"Brother Han, shall we accept that one first?"

Wen San asked.

"Collect the social forces outside the school first."

Yi Shuihan paused for a moment and replied.

"Brother Han, the group outside is the most powerful, accept them first, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight."

Wen San looked worried.

Indeed, the strength of the gang outside Hedong was the strongest among the three, and its strength was roughly the same as that of the Heavenly Emperor Society. If you hit them first, the result is full of uncertainty, and it's really hard to say who loses and who wins, and Wen San's worries are not unreasonable.

Wen San continued.

"If we first subdue the two forces in Hedong one by one, and then subdue the gang outside the school, then the odds will be much greater, and it is basically nine out of ten."

Yi Shuihan nodded, and did not deny Wen San's proposal. Traditionally speaking, Wen San's suggestion is the most reliable, and it can be said to be foolproof.

First subdue a gang in Hedong, so that the number of the Heavenly Emperor Society will reach about fifty people, and at present, it is not too difficult for the Heavenly Emperor Society to fight a small gang of about twenty people. Then another gang in Hedong will be collected, so that the number of the Heavenly Emperor Society will reach about seventy. At this time, if you go to subdue the gang outside the school, seventy people against thirty people, you can win with your eyes closed, it can be said that it is easy and easy to get. However, Wen San forgot the most important point!

"San'er, have you forgotten Shen Wansan?"

Yi Shuihan said to Wen San.

"Oh!"

Wen Sanyi patted his head, suddenly realized, like waking up from a dream.

"Brother Han is still thoughtful, if you listen to me, maybe you will get into a big disaster."

Wen San said while secretly praising in his heart, Brother Han's talent for strategy is really incomparable, and any trace of it is in his hands.

Indeed, some people's talents are innate, and others can't envy them, but Yi Shuihan has such a talent.

According to what Wen San said, it is indeed the safest way on the bright side. But he ignored one of the most important people, Shen Wansan.

If the Emperor of Heaven would blatantly encroach on other forces one by one in Hedong, he would use this to strengthen his own power. Will Shen Wansan stand by and watch? Will he let his position be threatened and remain silent? No way! When pigs fly!

Shen Wansan's ability to sit in today's position shows that he can never be a soft-hearted soft persimmon. If he is a soft persimmon, not to mention the eyesight of other leaders in the university town, just the undercurrent of intrigue and intrigue in Hedong is enough to make him die without even scum.

"As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, it is as deep as the sea, and the ruthless fairy is not there."

This is the proverb of the rivers and lakes that every person in the rivers and lakes silently remembers in their hearts, the rivers and lakes are as deep as the sea, and the heart is ruthless, there are no gods and ghosts here, there is no conscience and morality, there is no condemnation and reprimand, and some are just ruthless and cold. Otherwise, you will push yourself off the cliff. Yi Shuihan, Shen Wansan, and all the people in the rivers and lakes have firmly remembered this proverb from the first day they entered the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, when the Emperor of Heaven will expand in Hedong, Shen Wansan will definitely suppress the Emperor of Heaven Society, so that the Emperor Society will not have a foothold in Hedong.

And if the Heavenly Emperor would first fight the social forces outside Hedong, and then quickly subdue the two small gangs in the school in a short period of time, the number of the Heavenly Emperor Society would have reached hundreds at that time, even if Shen Wansan found out, he would be helpless.

Facing a gang that is not much different from his own strength, if he starts a war rashly, he will inevitably let others take advantage of the fisherman. You must know that in the university town, there are not a few people who want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Shen Wansan is not stupid enough to be like that.

As for why Shen Wansan didn't suppress Yi Shuihan's Heavenly Emperor Society now, it was entirely because the Heavenly Emperor Society's strength was too small and he couldn't enter his magic eye for the time being. Of course, if the Emperor wants to annex other gangs to grow, that would be a different matter. Shen Wansan will definitely defeat the Heavenly Emperor Society with the power of thunder and make it disappear from Hedong University forever. This is Shen Wansan's bottom line, he will never allow others to threaten his position.

In fact, there are many small gangs and small organizations in Hedong University, but the power of these small gangs is much smaller than Shen Wansan's without exception, and they cannot threaten his position as the leader of Hedong at all.

Shen Wansan also thought about annexing these large and small gangs, but although the single strength of these small gangs is relatively weak, if they are forced to be anxious, once they unite, the strength is equal to Shen Wansan, so over the years, Shen Wansan has adopted the means of grace and power, so that these small gangs obediently submit to his feet, and dare not cross the distance.

This is also the reason why Shen Wansan chose to help Yi Shuihan force back the great enemy of Xu Guoguo before. On the one hand, it is for his own face, and on the other hand, it is also for Yi Shuihan's grace. Of course, after the grace, followed by the grace, the grace and the power of the two is the best way to control people since ancient times.
