Chapter 120, I have three strategies
After Mr. Mingyi's analysis, Pan Long finally completely figured out the current situation and brushed away the fog in front of him.
This made him admire this reluctant scholar very much, and he couldn't help but ask what to do next.
"Actually, it's okay if we don't do anything. Mr. Mingyi said, "Between the emperor and Zhu Zhao, the fundamental interests are the same after all. Even if they have contradictions and disputes, they will be entangled for a period of time, and there will even be some small conflicts, but they will not be able to completely turn their faces and do something after all. Even if you do it, you can't see it with a knife. It's very difficult for us to profit in the middle. ”
Pan Long frowned and asked, "Are we not going to do anything? Seeing them make the people restless for their own petty profits?"
Mr. Mingyi sighed: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, if you attack rashly, it is very risky!"
Pan Long frowned more and more: "So, can't you do something?"
Before Mr. Mingyi could speak, Mr. Rizhi said: "Actually, the three of us have discussed the current situation and formulated three strategies, are you interested in listening to it?"
"Of course, please. ”
"The best strategy is that we find a demon god or immortal Buddha who has conflicts with the emperor's family to come forward as bait, lure out the emperor's top masters such as the emperor's firmament, and then ambush him. Mr. Rizhi said, "As far as I know, over the years, the emperor family has at least openly only had the emperor firmament, an immortal. When he died, the emperor's family would be missing a pillar, and the power balance between him and Zhu Zhao would be greatly deflected. ”
"For those of us, the more the situation changes, the better it becomes. Mr. Yue Yu said with a smile, "Moreover, the death of the emperor can also severely deter the emperor's family and Zhu Zhao, so that they can temporarily put away their minions and reduce the exploitation and oppression of the people." ”
Pan Long's eyes lit up: "Okay!
"Huh?" The three sages were taken aback together, and Mr. Yue Yu couldn't help but ask, "Then you don't listen to the two strategies?"
Pan Long said with a smile: "The three of them are all scholars, and in terms of martial arts, I am confident that I will not lose to you, but in terms of the ability to plan and plan, I will give you shoes at most." I've always believed that 'professional things are decided by professional people', and since the three of you think this is the best policy, do what you say. ”
"As for the middle and lower strategies...... I'm sure it would be a good choice. If I could, I'd love to use all three together. I guess it won't work, right?"
The three scholars nodded, and Mr. Rizhi said: "That's right, although the three strategies do not completely coincide, but when it comes to implementation, it is true that as long as one of them is chosen, it is unlikely that the other two will be able to do it." ”
"Then what else do I have to think about?" Pan Long stretched out his hands, "You all said it, that's the best policy." Then I'll choose that one. ”
The three scholars looked at each other and smiled, and Mr. Yue Yu said: "I remember that when we first discussed these three strategies, Brother Rizhi once sighed, 'I remember that in the commentary and the script, where there are three strategies, generally either the lower policy or the best policy, and the best policy has never been chosen. I don't know if our best strategy will be the same?' Now it seems that our luck is not bad. ”
"After all, stories and reality are not the same. Pan Long said, "The story, the best strategy is generally used to fool people, the lower strategy is used to scare people, and the middle strategy is actually optional." But in reality, if there is a good policy, why not choose the best policy?"
Everyone laughed and was happy and harmonious.
After laughing, Mr. Ming Yi asked, "To implement the best policy, you need at least one master who has a deep hatred with the emperor's family and is extremely strong as a bait. We can't find this person, can you find it?"
"No problem. Pan Long patted his chest and said confidently, "I can't find other masters, I really know a lot of masters who have a deep hatred with the emperor's family!"
Mr. Rizhi's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be ...... Are you a Confucian senior?"
Pan Long smiled and said nothing, the identity of the teacher, unless she was willing, even if she was a Confucian, it was inconvenient to reveal it casually.
But his reaction had already answered Mr. Hichi's question.
"In this case, you go and contact the senior masters, and we will investigate some more information to prepare for the implementation of this 'best policy'. Mr. Yue Yu said, "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." You have to be fully prepared before you can do it. ”
Pan Long nodded: "Then I'll go first, and you guys should be more careful." It doesn't matter if the best strategy succeeds or not. Anyway, now the imperial family is obviously going downhill, and at our age, we can afford to wait. ”
When he left, the three sages looked at each other and smiled.
"I said I should wait tonight. Mr. Hichi said happily, "Look, this is not just waiting for good news!"
Mr. Mingyi nodded: "That's true, over the years, I have been concentrating on teaching behind closed doors, and if I think about it carefully, I am actually a little disheartened and lack the spirit of forging ahead." Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. I can't be so depressed anymore!"
"In my opinion, we'd better hurry up and practice some combo kung fu. Mr. Yue Yu said, "Even if the temptation of the enemy can be successful, it is impossible for the emperor family to let the emperor come out alone, and there must be a large number of masters around." When the time comes, the three of us will definitely not be able to stand by and watch the excitement, but we will have to make some contributions. ”
"That's right, we are also people who have stepped into the realm of returning to the basics, and will be honored by the rivers and lakes as a 'real person' or even a 'grandmaster'. No matter how big the battle is, we can't stand idly by, it's a shame!"
The three of them agreed, and began to discuss the details that followed.
It is not an easy task to lure out the emperor's Optimus Prime and kill it. No amount of preparation can be overdone.
Pan Long left the Mingyi Pavilion, ran wildly all the way, and soon left Qingzhou. He found an inaccessible mountain on the border of Qingzhou and Yangzhou and lit the incense.
"How are you doing in Qingzhou?" Soon, Bi Lingkong's voice came from the smoke of Xinxiang.
Pan Long smiled and replied, "I have been investigating in Qingzhou for a while and have obtained a lot of information. Most importantly, I met several scholars who inherited Confucianism from generation to generation, regarded themselves as Confucian disciples, and were interested in reviving Confucianism. ”
Bi Lingkong exclaimed, and there was a little more joy in his voice: "Where do they live, what is their name?"
Pan Long was about to introduce the situation of Mr. Mingyi, Rizhi, and Yue Yu, but saw the smoke vibrate, and then a fiery red figure flew out of the smoke, turned in the air, and turned into Bi Lingkong.
But she really couldn't wait to use Xinxiang to speak slowly, so she directly borrowed Xinxiang as a coordinate to tear the space and move here.
"Tell me about them!" she said impatiently, her eyes shining in the darkness like two bright red pearls of the night.
Pan Long began to introduce, telling the three sages their origins, identities, and the things they talked about one by one.
Bi Lingkong listened very carefully, and interrupted from time to time to ask for some details. Let Pan Long often have to recall carefully for a while before he can answer.
By the time the Q&A was over, the sky was already twilight, but the long night was at the end of the night, and the red sun was rising in the east.
“...... That's about it. Pan Long ended with this sentence, "I think they are credible, no matter how powerful the emperor family is, it is impossible to arrange such a group of people to prepare for the Confucian disciples for a long time." ”
Bi Lingkong pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and observe them myself, and if they're okay, then follow their plan." ”
"If you want to carry out that good policy, how many helpers can the teacher find?" Pan Long asked.
"I don't dare to say more, three or five is still no problem. Bi Lingkong said with a smile, "The rotten ship also has three catties of nails, although there are only two of us left in the Confucian sect - no, there are about five of us now, but the other families also have some masters who escaped in the first place." Over the years, they have also taught some disciples. Of course, most of them have died of old age, but there are a few who are still alive like me...... Seeing that there is a chance for revenge, they absolutely can't help it!"
Pan Long said: "I had dealings with Pai Sect before, and they have always been obsessed with taking revenge on the emperor's family. Do you think I can contact them?"
Bi Lingkong frowned and said, "Pai Sect these people are not from the right background, and they were originally chickens and dogs. In the past, Emperor Yihai went north and recruited them to join the army, but they blatantly refused, which led to the disaster of annihilation...... Over the years, although they have gone ashore, they still have a lot of mixed up in the green forest. To be honest, I don't really like these guys. ”
Pan Long smiled: "Everyone just has the same enemy, so let's fight side by side for the time being." For example, on the road, at least on the road in front of us, we are on the same road. ”
Bi Lingkong thought for a while and sighed: "You're right, everyone is just on the same road, I shouldn't have any extra requirements for them...... Just do what you say. You go and contact the Pai Sect and tell them about the plan – but keep in mind that this matter is so important that you can only talk to the Big Four. Don't tell anyone else!"
Pan Long immediately understood what she meant, and asked, "The teacher is worried...... There are traitors in the court ambush in Paijiao?"
"It's not worry, it's affirmation!" Bi Lingkong sneered and said, "There are four major sects in the Pai Sect, twelve Dharma protectors, and thirty-six road leaders. It seems that there are a lot of talents, but if you want to say that there are not one or two spies in ambush by the imperial court, do you believe it?"
"Pai Jiao is good at spells, didn't he check his heart before selecting the high-level?"
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, there are countless kinds of strange sects, and there must be ways to deceive mind-reading spells. Bi Lingkong pursed his lips and said, "The scale of the Pai Sect is too large, and the Four Great Masters Sect must be credible, but further down, ...... It's too easy to sneak in a couple of spies. To the emperor, it's a sieve!"
It can be seen that she has a deep prejudice against teaching and looks down on her very much.
But in any case, the emperor's power is large, and their power is small, and if they want to be big with a small amount, they must unite all the forces that can be united. So even though she looked down on Pai Jiao, she accepted Pan Long's suggestion.
The two discussed, and then Bi Lingkong went to Qingzhou, and Pan Long went to Jingzhou.
Pan Long flew for two days, and found the rudder of the Pai Jiao in a large city in the north of Jingzhou. There was no one he knew in the rudder, but fortunately, the fact that he and the Paijiao fought side by side was already well known, and when he reported his identity, the helmsman of the rudder did not have the slightest suspicion, so he sent someone to take him to the chief helmsman of the Paijiao and meet the four masters.
A few days later, in a rather prosperous small county, Pan Long met one of the four major masters of Pai Jiao, the "puppet show" Nanhe Road people.
This senior has a withered appearance, and he really looks like a puppet, without the breath of a living person. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Pan Long would never have believed that there would be such a person in the world who had wood grains on his face and hands, and his whole person seemed to have been wooden.
Although the people of Nanhe Road were ugly, but their attitude was quite kind, Pan Long entered the study, he first asked the boy to serve tea, and then asked Pan Long about his intention.
Pan Long was about to speak, but looked at the boy who was accompanying him and coughed twice.
The people of Nanhe Road were slightly stunned, and then they understood what Pan Long meant, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Tong'er, you go out and guard the door, and no one is allowed to approach. He said to the boy, and took out a ruler short sword and handed it to the boy, "If anyone does not listen to the dissuasion and forcibly approaches, kill first and then report!"
The boy who looked white and fat but had no face, more like a paper man than a living person, saluted, took the short sword and went out.
Only then did Pan Long put his mind at ease and said, "Don't hide it, I am a member of Confucianism. Recently, our Confucian sect plans to carry out a big operation to lure the emperor out and ambush this person. ”
Huo Ran, a native of Nanhe Road, stood up, his eyes that had been squinting opened suddenly, and his eyes, which were also covered with wooden grains, emitted a sharp light.
"Is this serious?" he asked.
Pan Long nodded: "How can the junior make a joke about this kind of thing? I just pondered that this matter is not trivial, if you can't succeed in one blow, after beating the grass and startling the snake, there may not be another chance in the next hundred years, so come to Pai Jiao to ask and see if your sect can participate in the war." ”
The people of Nanhe Road couldn't help laughing: "Yes! Of course you can! Emperor Cangqiong has a deep blood feud with us, and he had a share of the siege of Ancestor Chen back then, and later he chased and killed my disciples everywhere, and hundreds of his fellow disciples died...... Over the years, I have often dreamed that I would tear him apart, dig out his heart and liver and worship him in front of the spiritual throne of the patriarch and his fellow disciples, and wake up empty-handed......"
His voice gradually deepened, but there was a bit of madness in his eyes: "Pan Shaoxia, don't worry! I will definitely go all out, even if the four of us are old and fight for our lives, we will drag him to death together!"
Pan Long was a little worried, and persuaded: "Senior calm down a little......"
"I have been breathing for so many years, using puppet bodies to move in the world, not eating, drinking, or sleeping, and enduring all kinds of pain that life is worse than death, just because I am unwilling, I don't see the old puppet die, I don't see the emperor's family destroyed, I am reluctant to die!"
"Now that the opportunity has come, how can I be calm?" Nanhe said, his fists clenched, the puppet's joints gurgled, many cracks appeared, and he almost collapsed, "You wait a day, I'll inform the other old guys!"
"Our preparation over the years can finally come in handy!"
