Shi Ba said: "City Lord Liu, let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?"

Liu Gang said: "Report to Shi Gongzi, I currently have 30,000 soldiers and horses in my hands?"

Shi Ba said: "Okay, we will use your 30,000 soldiers and horses to take back the city and the city." 『Δ』Pen Fun』Pavilion『.『"

Liu Gang was shocked: "Shi Gongzi, what are you talking about, use my 30,000 soldiers and horses to take back the lost Charm City and Wei City." ”

Shi Badao: "You're right, you are using your 30,000 soldiers and horses to recapture the lost Meicheng and Weicheng." ”

Liu Gang felt that Shi Ba must have taken the wrong medicine, and dared to challenge the Dao clan just with these 30,000 soldiers and horses, is he impatient to live, not to mention, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Longcheng are his own family wealth accumulated over the years, if he uses his own soldiers and horses in Longcheng to duel, he will win or lose, and his own family background will have to be defeated.

Liu Gang hurriedly said: "Shi Gongzi, I don't think that with our strength in one city, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Dao Clan. ”

Shi Ba knew what Liu Gang was thinking, so he said: "City Lord Liu, tell me what you mean, after all, these soldiers are all your family background, and no one will be reluctant, but we are now facing the Dao clan, it must be like this, I hope you can understand." ”

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi, you just said that these soldiers are my family, I don't dare to agree, I think everything here is the property of the demon clan, not the property of a certain person, I didn't agree with your decision just now, because we are doing this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and in the end we will definitely lose the army, don't you say?"

Shi Ba said: "Yes, but there is no way, as long as you can give me a way, let me take back the city and the charm city from the hands of the Dao clan without blood, I will do whatever you ask me to do." ”

Liu Gang still dared to say anything, he knew that if he said it again, Shi Ba would definitely put the heavy responsibility of capturing Meicheng and Weicheng on his shoulders.

Liu Gang hurriedly said: "Childe, what you say is what you say, I completely listen to you, how about it?"

Shi Ba said: "Okay." ”

Shi Ba continued: "City Lord Liu, let me ask you, do you know the current situation in Lucheng and Meicheng?"

Liu Gang hurriedly said: "Shi Gongzi, at present, Meicheng is the city lord by Lei Tian, this person turned out to be the helm of our demon clan Longshan, and finally betrayed Huang Li of the Dao clan, Huang Li attacked Meicheng this time, and passed the position of the city lord of Meicheng to Lei Tian, as for Wei Cheng, I heard that the city lord of Wei Cheng is now your uncle Shi Hu, and my brother is also in Wei Cheng now, he can be the leader Shi Hu to guard Wei Cheng or for the 500,000 loads of grain, maybe, Shi Gongzi, I know these now, and I don't know the others yet." ”

Shi Ba said: "Very good, we need to know their news as soon as possible, so that it will help us attack them next time." ”

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to lurk in these two cities to collect their news as soon as possible." ”

Shi Ba said: "Okay." ”

At this time, I saw Wang Sheng come out and say: "Shi Gongzi, since both the city and the charm city are guarded by the people of our original demon clan, we will find a way to rebel against them and let them work for our demon clan again." ”

Shi Ba said: "This is a good idea, but you have to understand that it is not easy to rebel." ”

Shi Ba turned around and asked Liu Gang, "City Lord Liu, what can you do?"

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi, it stands to reason that these people are all the old men of our demon clan, and it is not impossible to rebel, what I think is that they must be given a sense of security to rebel, if they know that they will eventually die when they return to the demon clan, do you think they will come back?"

Shi Ba said: "Who said that they came back is a death, who said this, as long as they come back, the previous things are not to blame." ”

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi doesn't know the rules set up by the Demon Venerable back then, the city lord of the four cities, as long as anyone loses the city, it will be a dead end, and whoever takes them in will also be guilty of one more degree, do you say that under such a policy, will they come back?"

Shi Ba said: "When did this happen?"

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi, this is the decision that Leng took the helm and your father to compete for the Demon Venerable, and your father made the decision on these four cities after obtaining the Demon Venerable throne. ”

Shi Ba said: "What kind of order is this, isn't such an order just forcing them to surrender?"

Liu Gang said: "Yes, but that's what the Demon Venerable said at the time, as long as a few of us lose the city, we will die." ”

Liu Gang continued: "Your uncle Shi Hu's Meicheng, I heard that Shi Hu didn't know it at that time, and the Dao clan took advantage of the middle of the night, Shi Hu and his soldiers were asleep and suddenly captured the Meicheng with the method of fire attack. Shi Hu was not caught by the Dao clan, so he fled to the city. It was no longer Huang Li who led the troops to attack Lucheng, but Leng Helmsman, who used to compete with Demon Venerable Shi Da for the throne of Demon Venerable, my brother saw that he knew that he was not Leng Helm's opponent, and if he fought hard, it would be a loss to the soldiers, so he transported all the grain in the warehouse to me, and pretended to surrender to the Dao Clan, to see if he could inform our Demon Clan within the Dao Clan, and see if the Demon Zun would forgive him in the end. ”

Shi Ba now felt that his father Shi Da was simply an old fool, only to see him say: "This matter is now up to you, pass it on to them as soon as possible, just say that I said it, as long as they can return to the demon clan now, I will definitely not blame the past." ”

Liu Gang said: "The son is wise. ”

Liu Gang continued: "Childe, I think my brother's idea is still correct, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, what we want now is a person we are familiar with to enter the interior of the Dao Clan, to be our secret agent, as long as the Dao Clan has something, he can give us news at any time, which is also conducive to our attack on the Dao Clan, don't you say?"

Shi Ba said: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but how to contact them?"

Liu Gang shook his head.

Wang Sheng came over and said, "Childe, if you really want to contact them, I think I'll go, what do you say?"

Liu Gang said: "You can't go, if you go, they still think you're going to kill them." ”

Shi Ba said: "What City Lord Liu said makes sense, so who do you say is appropriate?"

Liu Gang said: "I think it's better for me to go, after all, Liu Yong is my brother, and it won't be misleading for us to talk about these things, don't you say?"

Liu Gang said: "What City Lord Liu said makes sense, you are responsible for this matter, you contact them as soon as possible and let them know that I am looking forward to their return to the demon clan." ”

Liu Gang said: "My subordinates obey orders, but what if they follow me for food?"

Shi Ba said: "Now the food must not be given to them, if they are given food, let them use the food we give them to attack us, are we stupid?"

Liu Gang said: "You are right, but how do I tell them when I see them?"

Shi Ba said: "What's so bad about this, you just say that the current Longcheng is in charge of me, and you can't get the food out at all, how about it?"

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi has a good idea. ”

Shi Ba said: "City Lord Liu, as long as you persuade a few of them to come back, I will give you a great credit, how about it?"

Liu Gang said: "Thank you, Shi Gongzi." ”

Shi Ba knew that Meicheng was in the hands of Lei Tian, and Weicheng was in the hands of Shi Hu and Liu Yong, as long as these people rebelled, these cities were still their own, so the most effective way to get these cities back was to let them return to the demon clan.

Shi Ba said to Liu Gang: "City Lord Liu, you can come out now." ”

Liu Gang said: "My subordinates obey orders, Shi Gongzi, I went to Weicheng, but what about Meicheng?"

Shi Badao: "Meicheng is also up to you, Meicheng's Lei Tian is a very righteous person, if he knows that you are here to persuade you to surrender, he will not harm your life, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Gang said: "The subordinates obey the order. ”

Liu Gang knelt down in front of Shi Ba again and said: "Shi Gongzi, I am going to leave now, although there seems to be no risk this time, but maybe I will send my life here, if I really die somewhere, I hope you take good care of my family, okay?"

Shi Ba said: "City Lord Liu, don't worry, if you are really killed by them, I will definitely raise troops to avenge you, and I will also keep my promise to keep your children and parents safe." ”

Liu Gang said: "Shi Gongzi, I will go to see my wife now, what will I do?"

Shi Ba said: "Okay." ”

Liu Gang left Shi Ba and Wang Sheng, and came to Mrs. Cai Ying's room with a heavy heart.

Cai Ying saw Liu Gang come in with a heavy heart, and asked, "Liu Gang, what's wrong with you, it seems that there is something on your mind?"

Liu Gang said: "Madam, I may not be able to come back this time." ”

Cai Ying saw Liu Gang's expression and said, "What happened, you tell me." Aren't you ready to take refuge in the Dao Clan?"

Liu Gang said: "Madam, I would have come back to discuss this matter with you earlier, I was originally going to take refuge in the Dao clan, but at this time, Shi Da's youngest son Shi Ba came to our Dragon City, do you think I can still take refuge?"

Cai Ying said in surprise: "What are you talking about?

Liu Gang nodded and said, "You're right, it's Star's son who came here." ”

Cai Ying continued: "Does he know or not that you are going to take refuge in the Dao Clan?"

Liu Gang said: "I don't think I know, but they have now killed one of my brother's relatives on the spot." ”

Cai Ying's face was very solemn, and she said: "Liu Gang, this matter still looks very serious, if they know that you are going to surrender, maybe they will kill you." ”

Liu Gang said: "Madam, if they kill me now, they will now let me go to Lucheng and Meicheng to persuade those who have surrendered to return to the Demon Clan." ”

Cai Ying said in surprise: "What are you talking about, are you in danger?"

Liu Gang said: "You're right, I'm definitely in danger, but what's the solution?"

Cai Ying said: "Liu Gang, what will we do with our family after you leave?"

Liu Gang said sadly: "Madam, if I die, Shi Ba promises to take care of you." ”
