Chapter 116: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Cai Chaotou on Wuyao Island finally couldn't hold back his temperament, and led his subordinates to sharpen their knives and target several villages along the coast of Taizhou, preparing to fight a big battle to appease morale and demonstrate to Wen Xuan.

Kang Liwei's side also held back his ruthlessness, and after dispatching troops and reprimanding generals, he personally went to Taizhou to urge all prefectures and counties on Taizhou Road to rectify the territory, and ordered not to let go of any Mingjiao disciples, especially Wen Xuan, to arrest them with all their might, regardless of life or death.

And Wen Xuan, the initiator of the tense situation in Taizhou, once again had no news and quietly hibernated.

Except for the occasional few people who went to nearby states and counties to buy food, more than a thousand Ming Sect disciples all went deep into the mountains and old forests, and under Wen Xuan's orders, even the sound of training was reduced to a minimum.

There are enough people to guard the main roads of the mountain passes in turn, and the slightest change can be issued to give an early warning, and several households in the mountains are also controlled by Wen Xuan, who does not allow them to go out of the mountain, and in return they are given two taels of silver per family.

On the surface, the surface is calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and the days have passed for another half a month.

It wasn't until the scorching heat turned into autumn that Su Sheng returned to Wen Xuan's face.

"Boss, it's all done. According to your orders, Lord Shen Tan's side has already made preparations, and the first batch of caravans will arrive in Wanhe Village as scheduled in three days. ”

Wen Xuan saw Su Sheng come back, so he put away his father's handwritten letter, after such a long time, although he could faintly catch a trace of strangeness, but still failed to see the truth hidden behind this fog.

"Now you can see what I really mean?" Wen Xuan's words carried a hint of consideration.

Although Su Sheng is extremely talented, due to his limited background, his vision is a little smaller, so Wen Xuan constantly guides him to look at the overall situation, rather than a restaurant, a few taels of silver, or the rations of more than 100 people.

Su Sheng was exquisite, and after dealing with Shen Fu on Pingjiang Road, the whole person was much more stable, and at this moment he bowed down seriously and said, "Thank you for your cultivation grace." ”

"You don't have to be polite." Wen Xuan stretched out his hand and gently helped him up and muttered, "The bait has been prepared, now we just need to see if any big fish have been hooked......

Su Sheng rolled his eyes, leaned over to Wen Xuan's side and asked, "I heard that Kang Liwei, the prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has some personal enmity with you?" Or even rush to Taizhou in person immediately after getting your news? ”

Wen Xuan couldn't help but think of Kang Li Anning, who was injured by his soft sword, and felt a little guilty in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Kang Li has long hated me. ”

Su Sheng's face showed a wicked smile, "The leader's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf is indeed extremely clever, which can lead Cai Chaotou and the Yuan soldiers to fight on a large scale, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, but in my opinion, this plan can be more ruthless......"

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Wen Xuan was still very sure of his carefully planned strategy, and immediately became interested after hearing Su Sheng's words.

"Cai Rantou is just a reckless man who is greedy for money, and the caravan you threw out is fat enough as bait to make him greedy, but don't forget that there is a Wang Fuzhi behind him who we can't see the depth."

Wen Xuan thought deeply after hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, this is also where I am a little uneasy." ”

Su Sheng held his breath and said very seriously: "Boss, although you have never told me about the overall situation planned in your heart, I have already guessed eight or nine after seeing that Shen Tan Master......

Destroying Cai Chaotou to quell the rebellion of the Ming Sect and involving the energy of the Yuan soldiers for the chief rudder should not be your ultimate goal, right? ”

Wen Xuan's eyes narrowed, "Go on." ”

Su Sheng analyzed unhurriedly: "At first, I thought that you had trained so many disciples because you wanted to lead the crowd into the sea to fight Cai Chaotou head-on, but now it seems that what you want is more than Cai Chaotou's life.

Kang Li Wei will be attracted to Taizhou must have been designed by you early on, only when the prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang personally supervised the battle, the main coastal force of the Yuan soldiers will really be assembled.

This trick of yours to drive the tiger and devour the wolf seems to be to use the hands of the Yuan soldiers to get rid of Cai Chaotou, who was lured by the bait, but in fact, you want to kill the tiger and wolf, right? ”

Wen Xuan stretched his eyebrows after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have indeed grown a lot after meeting Lord Shen, continue to speak." ”

Su Sheng, who was praised, leaned over and grinned, "This strategy may be a little bold and dangerous, don't blame you for hearing it." ”

"Don't sell it, hurry up." Wen Xuan urged.

Su Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, my idea is very simple, because even if the caravan sent by Lord Shen Tan has a lot of rare treasures, it can only attract Cai Lantou alone, so if you want to mix Wang Fuzhi and Kang Liwei in the first place, then you need to use another bait!" ”

"You mean...... And a better bait? ”

Su Sheng said categorically: "Yes, as long as this bait is added, the two fish of Kang Liwei and Wang Fuzhi will also be eager to surface as soon as possible!" ”

"I'm a little curious about what could be more appealing than so much gold and silver treasure?"

Su Sheng licked his lips and said cautiously, "Your life." ”

My life?

After a brief period of consternation, Wen Xuan suddenly burst into laughter, "Wonderful! How did I not think of it? ”

Su Sheng bent his body lower, raised his eyelids and said, "Boss, this plan is tantamount to pushing you to the sea of swords and fire, it's too dangerous......"

Wen Xuan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say much, and ordered, "Go and call Fang Guozhen and Brother Mu quickly." ”

Su Sheng knew that Wen Xuan was going to change his plan after listening to his suggestion, and immediately called Wen Xuan's right-hand men.

Not long after, Mu Chong, Li Tieniu, Sheng Wenyu, Su Sheng, and Fang Guozhen all stood in front of Wen Xuan.

Wen Xuan's face was solemn, and he said cautiously: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." Brothers, the disciples who have worked so hard for many hours to train, it is time for them to come in handy. ”

Everyone was also upright, waiting for Wen Xuan's order.

"Lord Shen Tan has sent a group of caravans to Taizhou, and they will deliberately spread the news along the way to show off the number of rare treasures they carry, and they will arrive at the foot of Wanhe Village on the coast of Taizhou Road on time in three days.

Cai Chaotou and other thieves have not attacked the coastal people for two consecutive months, and when they hear such news, they will inevitably be unable to hold back and lead the crowd to loot, and I will also appear in Wanhe Village and personally lead people to compete with them for the caravan.

After receiving the news, Kang Liwei will inevitably send heavy troops to come, in a vain attempt to make a profit, and capture and kill me and Cai Chaotou in one fell swoop, and Wang Fuzhi will definitely bring people to support Cai Chaotou.

After I have led the two sides to fight, the brothers can go their separate ways. ”
