Chapter 53: Fighting a snake is not dead
Daoist Liang Zi led Liu Wanbao through the courtyard of the apse and came to a room opposite. When I entered the house, I saw three people sitting behind a long table, two dressed as Taoist priests, and the other wearing the same spotted clothes as the guards. In the middle of the room there was also a chair, presumably intended for the captives. The Liang Zidao chief really motioned for Liu Wanbao to sit on the separate chair in the middle of the room, and then went to the back of the table and whispered a few words to the three people, presumably to inform Liu Wanbao's identity. The three of them were a little surprised when they heard this, and they all looked Liu Wanbaolai up and down. The Taoist priest sitting in the middle said something to the Liang Zi Daoist, and Liang Zi nodded and left the room.
The Taoist priest sitting in the middle looked at Liu Wanbao, who was still with a straight waist although his arms were tied, nodded slightly, and said to another Taoist priest who brought Liu Wanbao in; "Dazhi, although Liu Er's family is an enemy with us, it is also a green forest hero, how can we treat it like this, quickly loosen the ties." After speaking, he lifted the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, and asked the great ambition to serve it to Liu Wanbao.
Liu Wanbao moved his arm that was tied and numb, and looked at the three people opposite suspiciously, not understanding that the other party was so polite to his enemy, could there be any conspiracy here, what kind of trap? Or the cup of tea you poured yourself is poisonous, and you want to let yourself drink a little more and suffer a little more before you die? So now that they have loosened their ties, are they taking the opportunity to storm and rush out?
Liu Wanbao, who took the teacup, weighed it for a while, and finally gave up the idea of fighting back. As a person who practices martial arts, he can clearly feel that the martial arts of these people in the house are not bad. This Taoist priest who untied himself alone was not something that could be easily defeated, not to mention that there were three others. Second, if he runs away, the other party is likely to kill his subordinates in a fit of rage, and all his previous efforts will be in vain. So with the mentality of "if you come, you will be safe", Liu Wanbao picked up the teacup and drank two sips, then sat there calmly, waiting for the other party to make a move.
Liu Wanbao's sitting style made the three people on the other side a little admired, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts "It's a man". The three of them became more determined about the previous Jihua, and planned to have a good conversation with this Liu Er, maybe this Jihua's breakthrough was in this person.
The three people sitting behind the table were none other than Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, and Xu Shao'an, and they were surprised to be able to catch Liu Er, but it gave them confidence in completing the jihua that had been proposed at the enlarged meeting of the committee.
Just over an hour ago, except for the few people who were still directing the cleanup work in the front yard, most of the traversers, as well as Yuxuzi, Qingchen, and Zhong Shiwen, gathered in the main hall in the backyard of the Yuxu Palace to summarize the sneak attack of the bandits and discuss how to do a good job in dealing with the aftermath.
The first to speak was Wang Kunjun, who first praised all the personnel involved in last night's operation on behalf of the committee, especially Zeng Zhilin, who was the first to discover that the bandits were spying on the Yuxu Palace.
In the warm applause of everyone, Zeng Zhilin scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "There is nothing to praise for this matter, I was standing guard on duty at the time, and I found through the telescope that there were three people sneaking peek in the distance, and they seemed to be still drawing on the paper." As a sentinel, it is natural to report to the team leader if you find something abnormal. This is my job, it is my duty to do it well, and it is a dereliction of duty to do it badly. Besides, I wasn't the only one who discovered these snoopers, and Wu Peng, who was on duty in another watchtower, also found out quickly, but I reported to Team Leader Xu first. In addition, it was Qingchen who followed the three thieves to their hiding place later, and found that it was Qian Company Commander and Cheng Fei who were on duty at the time who came to spy at night, and Senior Brother Yu Xuzi even stared at the so-called second master who took advantage of the darkness to go to the front side hall to hide from the cold wind.
It was Qingchen who overheard their conversation that confirmed that they were the bandits on Xiayun Ridge, and they were just two spies from the second head of the cottage, and the team had not yet arrived. And Company Commander Qian and the others found out that these spies came again at night, so that we could be sure that the bandits wanted to launch a sneak attack on us at night, and gave us time to calmly arrange, which was a great success. Although the brothers of the science and technology group like Liu Wendong and Zhou Gong did not directly participate in the encirclement and annihilation operation, if it were not for their modified machine guns and the small bombs they made with the explosives in the shells, we would not have won so easily. The searchlights modified by the science and technology team with car headlights also played a major role in the capture of the next three captives. Therefore, this work is by no means mine alone, and everyone should have a share. ”
Zeng Zhilin's modesty once again received warm applause from everyone, which made him even more embarrassed. Zuihou or Wang Kunjun signaled everyone not to be embarrassed anymore, so he was saved.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Kunjun said: "Dazhi is right, this successful repelling of the sneak attack of the bandits is the credit of all the members of our Jade Void Palace, and everyone should be praised." He paused and changed the subject, "But now is not the time to celebrate. Although these bandits were repulsed, they were not completely wiped out. According to the previous confessions of the three thieves who were first caught, they came a total of 300 people this time. In addition to the 200 people who were wiped out by us in the front yard, there were also 100 people who were ambushed on the back hill, ready to intercept our back road. It's a pity that our movements were a little slower, and the hundred thieves ran away before Battalion Commander Xu led people over to surround and annihilate them.
In addition, according to the captives, more than 200 of them remained in the cottage and did not participate in the sneak attack. In other words, there are still more than 300 bandits eyeing us, and they may retaliate against us at any time. Although we are completely sure that we can repel any attack with the weapons in our hands, as the saying goes, if we are not afraid of thieves, we are afraid of thieves. Although these bandits may no longer dare to have any ideas against the Jade Void Palace, it is possible that they will carry out a sneak attack on our lone members far away from the Jade Void Palace. Especially once we move out of the Yuxu Palace and enter Liangxiang City, the contact with all sides will inevitably increase greatly, and the personnel will be quite scattered, with the current Liliang of the security group, it is impossible to provide protection for everyone 24 hours a day. This also gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it may threaten the lives of our team members. And this situation is something we never want to happen, and it is absolutely unacceptable. So now is the time for everyone to brainstorm how to solve this problem. ”,
After Wang Kunjun finished speaking, everyone present had a heated discussion. The first to speak was Yu Xuzi, who pondered for a while, then said, "Although the foolish brother can't understand the mysteries of your weapons, he has also seen their power, and their power is by no means comparable to the weapons of Middle-earth. The foolish brother thinks that these weapons are the guarantee of your life, but they can also bring disaster to you. As the saying goes, 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty', once the ill-intentioned, especially the powerful, discovers these magic weapons, then they will inevitably use the tricks in order to obtain these weapons. The use of coercion and temptation and other tricks is probably going to do everything. At that time, whether you give or do not give, whether you turn to the powerful or stay away from the powerful, I am afraid that the result will not be what you want. Therefore, Brother Fool thinks that you should not only consider the threat that the remnants of the bandits may pose, but also carefully consider how to minimize the number of people who know the power of these weapons. ”
Wang Kunjun and the others nodded yes after hearing this, thinking that what Yu Xuzi said was very reasonable. While the display of modern weapons is exciting, the consequences can also be fatal. Although except for the three captured bandits, the people who have seen the power of these weapons are their own people, and it is not clear whether the bandits who ran away saw the process of the battle, and it is still necessary to interrogate the three bandits who were captured later to be sure. But if you don't know 10,000, just in case, if they see it, then it won't be long before the news spreads to everyone. How to seal these more than 100 mouths really has to be pondered.
At this time, Qingchen stood up and saluted Wang Kunjun: "Uncle, the little nephew has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Naturally, we should talk about it." Wang Kunjun knew that he knew a lot about the affairs in the green forest, and he wanted to hear his opinion.
I saw Qingchen say with a murderous face: "The little nephew often hears people say that it is a three-point crime to fight a snake and not die, and let the tiger return to the mountain to harm his own family." Although these bandits have been repelled by us, their roots are still there. In addition, he suffered such a big loss in our Jade Void Palace this time, once he recovers his vitality in the future, he will inevitably retaliate more violently. As Uncle Shi said just now, in the future, the actions of all uncles may be very scattered, and there will be more opportunities for each other. And Master's worries are also very reasonable, no one dares to guarantee that these thieves who slipped through the net will be tight-lipped about last night's events, and with their personalities, such news will spread faster than the wind. So the little nephew thinks that since we have eliminated nearly half of their strength, we might as well go one step further and use those caught bandits to bring us into their lair and wipe them all out to get rid of future troubles forever. ”
Qingchen's words made everyone look at each other, thinking that this kid is ruthless enough, and he plans to cut down these thieves at one time and eradicate the roots. It can not only prevent the other party from retaliating, but also avoid the leakage of secrets, which can also be called killing two birds with one stone. After a brief lull, the group first agreed with the proposal, while others disagreed. Most people thought it was a good idea, and a few expressed concerns.
Those who disagree mainly feel that there are fewer people on their side, counting a few Xiaodao children, there are only about 30 people who know martial arts, and even if the other party is seriously injured, there are still more than 300 people. Once you abandon the Jade Void Palace, which is conducive to defense, and fight on the opponent's territory, the side that loses the geographical advantage and has a small number of people may be attacked by the opponent, and losses are inevitable. What's more, as the saying goes, don't chase after the poor. Once these bandits are forced to be in a hurry, they may play with their lives, and even if they have modern weapons on their side, it is difficult to ensure the safety of everyone. It is also necessary to consider what to do if the other side sees the power of modern weapons and becomes frightened and flees in all directions. The concerns of these people are reasonable, and Zhang Weixin's subsequent remarks have relieved their concerns.
Zhang Weixin was obviously well aware of the difficulties that might be encountered in taking the initiative to attack, and after communicating with the other members of the committee, he said with a smile: "Some brothers have concerns about taking the initiative to attack, which is understandable. The phrase "Poor Kou Mo Chasing" is also very reasonable. It's just that have you ever wondered if if we left a way for those bandits to survive, whether they would still resist stubbornly, and whether they would give up the cottage they relied on for survival and drift around. ”
"Leave a way to live?" This idea is very incomprehensible to those who are naysayers. In their opinion, the two sides are already on the same footing, how can their side leave a way for each other to survive, doesn't that mean that they still fight snakes and don't die, and let the tiger return to the mountain?
Seeing that some people didn't understand, Zhang Weixin explained: "What I said about leaving a way to survive is not to let the other party escape, which would be contrary to our purpose." By the way of life, I mean letting these bandits take a path that we have demarcated for him. In other words, under the premise of military deterrence, subdue these bandits, so that they can be used by us and obey our command. In this way, the possibility of retaliation can be eliminated, and it can be very good to keep secrets. ”
"Will the bandits accept our terms? What if they don't accept it? An opponent asked.
"I believe things are man-made. In the current situation, this is the only way to achieve our goals to the greatest extent. If someone disagrees, then please make an opinion that you think is more feasible. Xu Shaoan opened his mouth to retort.
As soon as Xu Shao'an said this, the opponents were silent. Although they have concerns about taking the initiative to attack, they really can't think of a better way to do it in a short period of time.
A vote was then held, and the proposal to "take the initiative to attack and strive for subjugation" won the support of the overwhelming majority of the people, was successfully passed, and was given the operational code name of "Operation Wanjun". As for the specific implementation work, the committee authorized the foreign exchange group, the security team, and the audit team to form the "Wanjun Action Executive Committee" to jointly complete it. Wang Kunjun was appointed as the general liaison of the executive committee, and the leaders of each functional group were responsible to him, and the actions of each group were under his unified command and transfer, and the financial group in charge of him also provided corresponding financial support.
After receiving the task, Wang Kunjun discussed with the leaders of the three functional groups, and decided to start with those captives first, learn as much as possible about the situation inside the bandits, and then find their weaknesses according to the personality characteristics of these captives, and destroy them individually, so that they can be used for their own use.
As a result, I didn't expect God to be so oriented to himself, and he sent the second leader of these thieves to everyone like pie in the sky. Now it seems that as long as he can successfully persuade this Liu Er to be in charge, "Wan Jun Jihua" will be half the battle. As for how to convince the other party, it depends on the ability of Wang Kunjun and others.
