Chapter Eighty-Five: The Triple Strategy

When Qiu Gubo finished talking about what he knew about the Seagod Sect, Cai Qianqing actually praised: "Clever plan." ”

"What?" Qiu Gubo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Cai Qianqing was talking about.

Qiu Gubo asked again: "What kind of clever plan did Mr. say?" ”

Cai Qianqing explained: "The Poseidon Sect must be an important chess piece that Hu Shen planted on the chessboard of Yongcheng, and he used this chess piece to make a good move. ”

Sure enough, it was Hu Shen, Qiu Gubo thought to himself, and said: "Although I also thought so, but because of the lack of information, I dare not make a conclusion, and isn't Hu Shen's move contradictory to his previous move?" He arranged for Zhang Dingfeng to spread the corpse wind in Yongcheng, but why did he manipulate the Poseidon Sect to control the epidemic next? ”

Cai Qianqing explained with a unique explanation: "There are three kinds of schemes in the world, one is single, two is stacked, and three is chained, and with my understanding of Hu Shen, what he is best at is the chain plan, and the plan is like a seed, not strangled in the bud, and when it takes root and grows, we will no longer have the power to fight back." ”

Qiu Gubo was very puzzled, shook his head and said, "I don't understand what Mr. means by the three stratagems. ”

Cai Qianqing said: "When I came to Yongcheng to see you, I used a single meter. ”

"Huh?" Qiu Gubo was very surprised, "You used a trick at that time?" Why? What do you want to achieve? ”

Cai Qianqing's tone was as calm as ever: "Although I was entrusted by An Shu to come to save the city, I also have to know what the temperament of the owner of this city and these people around him is, and judge through them what everyone should do, in other words, I just said, Yongcheng is a chessboard, you are chess pieces, I need to know where you should be placed on the chessboard." ”

Qiu Gubo's heart trembled, and his fingers trembled slightly, but he still said quietly: "Did Mr. succeed in his plan?" ”

"Of course, I never do useless work." Cai Qianqing's figure was reflected on one side, like a ghost, "The best way for me to figure out your temperament is to expose your personality and temperament, and even your weaknesses to you when we meet for the first time, and then you can judge your general personality and even your most obvious weaknesses from your respective responses and the looks on your faces, such as you, Qiu Zhutan, you have been smiling all the time, and you have been rounding the field for me, no matter how big Fu Guodong's temper is, you insist on protecting me, so, Your weaknesses are kindness, justice, and the need to take care of the bigger picture. ”

Qiu Gubo laughed: "I don't understand this, these are obviously advantages, why have they become shortcomings in you?" ”

Cai Qianqing said coldly: "Qiu Yutang, are you sure that you will know the world without leaving Yongcheng?" ”

Qiu Gubo said: "No. ”

Cai Qianqing asked again: "Then are you sure that you are just using the two points of taking into account the overall situation and kindness and justice to turn the tide?" ”

Qiu Gubo frowned slightly: "I can't either, but it's ......"

"No, though." Cai Qianqing interrupted Qiu Gubo's words, "In the troubled times, the kindness and justice on the face, if you use it a little, you will be led by the nose, and in the end you will not be aware of it, and you will still daydream of being a hero until you die." Qiu Detective, don't you want to be a hero? If you don't want to, why care about your reputation as the No. 1 detective in Yongcheng? ”

Cai Qianqing's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring down from Qiu Gubo's head, instantly making his heartbeat almost stop.

The words are ugly, but the words are fine, and they are ......

Damn it! Qiu Gubo added another foul language in his heart, this person is too terrible.

Qiu Gubo got up and clenched his fists: "I admire, this is the truth, it is definitely not a compliment!" Please also point out the real intention of Hu Shen's plan. ”

Cai Qianqing said: "Hu Shen released the corpse wind to make the city of civil strife, but he also knew very well that Sun San would never sit idly by, so, with the help of Sun San, the corpse wind will inevitably be controlled, at that time, Fu Guodong, who controls the epidemic, will win the support of the people and the foreigners in Xingang on the contrary, if things go like this, Hu Shen's strategy will be useless, so he made arrangements as early as possible and let the Poseidon Sect take action to control the corpse wind at the right time." ”

Qiu Gubo nodded slightly, as if he understood.

Cai Qianqing asked again: "Qiu Zhutan, when the corpse wind broke out, did the Chinese medicine and the Western medicine of the foreigners in Yongcheng have a good way to deal with it?" ”

Qiu Gubo shook his head: "Helpless." ”

Cai Qianqing asked again: "Is the healing method used by the Seagod Sect the same as what Sun San taught?" ”

"I haven't found out yet." Qiu Gubo shook his head, "But on the surface, it doesn't seem to be the same. ”

"Maybe it's the same, but it's just a trick." Cai Qianqing analyzed, "In the face of the people, you frankly told them that this was a disease and needed good medicine to cure it, but the Poseidon Sect told them that this was a ghost and a plague god, and what was needed was a spell spell. The important thing is that in the early days, Chinese medicine and Western medicine were helpless, and at this stage, the people had lost confidence in the doctor Langzhong, and had to pin their hopes on the so-called superstition of gods and ghosts, and in times of despair, no matter how ridiculous the method, in order to save their lives, they would try. ”

Qiu Gubo understood: "The Poseidon Sect actually uses medical skills, but they use blinding methods to make the people think that they are using spells, so that the people can rely on the Poseidon Sect to bewitch and control people's hearts." ”

"Therefore, releasing the corpse wind is just a single plan, and controlling the Poseidon Sect's demagoguery is the next plan, followed by a series of plans to weaken the reserve forces and money and food in Yongcheng." Cai Qianqing got up, "When the people ask the Poseidon Sect to save their lives, they must have sacrifices, which is the so-called tribute, and the tribute is nothing more than money, food, and people. ”

Cai Qianqing's words made Qiu Gu Bo Mao suddenly open, and finally understood the deep-seated intention of Hu Shen's plan.

The Poseidon Sect controls the people, and if Chen Bozhong wants to come to the city in the future, even if the Poseidon Sect does not manipulate the civil strife among the people, Fu Guodong will not be able to get the support of the people.

Soldiers come from the people, war will consume a lot of manpower, Chen Bozhong can find a way to replenish the source of troops outside Yongcheng, but once Fu Guodong's troops are consumed, but there is no replenishment, if forced conscription, the weapons will be issued to the people who rely on the Poseidon Sect, which is tantamount to self-destruction.

Moreover, if the people do not pay taxes, where will the military pay come from? If the people don't pay for the food, where will the army get the food?

Qiu Gubo completely understood at this time: "Mr. Cai's words woke up the people in the dream, and when the people lost all their money and food, if Fu Dashuai did not open the granary to help the hungry people, the people would also rebel, and if they were rescued, the reserve grain would be gradually consumed, this plan was too vicious." ”

Cai Qianqing said: "That's right, this plan is vicious, but the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they will do whatever it takes to win, which has nothing to do with morality." ”

Qiu Gubo asked, "Sir, what should we do next?" Send troops to exterminate the Poseidon Cult? ”

"Never!" Cai Qianqing immediately stopped, "If you use troops against the Seagod Sect, it will speed up the civil strife in Yongcheng, so there is only one way at the moment, and that is to repay the other in the other way." ”

Qiu Gubo was puzzled: "What should I do?" ”

At this time, Cai Qianqing finally opened the straw curtain and slowly walked towards Qiu Gubo.

Qiu Gubo took advantage of the glimmer of the back room to look at the handsome man in front of him who made him a little jealous, if it weren't for the sickly face, this person was perfect.

After Cai Qianqing stood still, he said in a deep voice: "Didn't Dashuai give me three days?" Then, I'll spend three days solving the Poseidon Cult. ”

Qiu Gubo propped up the table and slowly got up: "Three days? ”

Cai Qianqing turned around and walked back to the back room, throwing down a sentence: "If you break your promise, let it be disposed of!" ”

Cai Qianqing's words shook Qiu Gubo's ears like thunder, making him unable to say a word.

After a long time, a question finally popped up in Qiu Gubo's mind: What kind of people are the earth phases?

Are they Zhong Kui, who hunts demons and ghosts?

Or is it the impermanence of black and white that can hook people's souls at the snap of a finger?

On the top of the southern tower of Yongcheng, Qianyuanbai and Mint, who had been stuffy in the house for three days, stood there blowing the wind, enjoying the peace that they might not be able to get for a long time in the future.

Qian Yuanbai stood there, peeking at Mint all the time, he always wanted to say something, but he was afraid that his words would ruin the atmosphere at this time.

For some reason, when working with Mint, he always spoke so naturally, and when he left the room, he seemed to become a young boy, blushing even when he looked at Mint.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" Mint suddenly asked coldly.

"Nope!" Qian Yuanbai replied quickly, and his head immediately turned back, "I'm looking over there." ”

Mint looked at Qianyuanbai: "You lie." ”

Qian Yuanbai deliberately squeezed out a smile: "I didn't." ”

Mint leaned in and asked, "Do you like me?" ”

Qian Yuanbai didn't know how to answer, saying that he didn't like it, it would definitely be against his will, and when he said he liked it, he was afraid of being disgusted by mint.

Mint suddenly laughed: "Don't like me, I'm poisonous." ”

Qian Yuanbai took a deep breath and was about to answer "I am also poisonous" when Yansun and Xionghuang returned from their inspection, and Mint immediately greeted him.

Qian Yuanbai, who lost the opportunity, raised his hand and slapped himself.

Xionghuang, who didn't know what had happened before, asked, "Why are you beating yourself?" ”

Qian Yuanbai panicked, and when he was at a loss, Mint smiled: "It's too cold, he's afraid that his face will be numb from the cold." ”

Xionghuang glanced at Qianyuanbai strangely, and said to mint, "How is the medicine doing?" ”

"All the best." After Mint finished speaking, he glanced at Qian Yuanbai and said, "It's just that the number of vaccines is far from the level of saving the people of the whole city, and it is only enough for the soldiers." ”

Yansun thought for a while and said: "Then tell Qiu to arrest the detective, for the time being, it will not be distributed to the people, and this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, first of all, we must ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, otherwise, if Chen Bozhong attacks, we can only be captured." ”

Qianyuanbai was anxious: "Then how can it be done!" The people must be vaccinated first, and when the people are in chaos, Yongcheng will be finished. ”

Yansun frowned: "Boy, you and I understand the truth, but when the real soldiers come to the city, you will know how to cry at that time." ”

Xionghuang said: "The current problem we are facing, in addition to the corpse wind, there is also the cult of the Sea God Sect, as well as the problem of the gradual shortage of food in the city, the ammunition problem has not been solved, and the most troublesome thing is that we don't know where the night owl is hiding." ”

Hearing this, Mint hurriedly asked, "Big brother, who is stronger than us in the night owl?" ”

Xionghuang asked Mint: "Do you think you are powerful?" ”

Mint hesitated and shook her head.
