The person who spoke was Shi Changsheng, the master of the Lei Tang Hall, this human nature was as fierce as fire, jealous and hateful, in his opinion, neither the Yan Dynasty nor the Qi Dynasty was trustworthy.

Shi Changsheng's views have many supporters in the Seven Star Gang, and they always believe that the northern and southern courts are the same and there is no essential difference. Shi Changsheng previously clearly declared that he was unwilling to accept the Yan Dynasty's recruitment, but this did not mean that he was willing to cooperate with the Southern Qi border army, let alone use the power of the Seven Star Gang to help the Southern Qi involve the Yan Dynasty army.

Therefore, after Lu Shen spoke, Shi Changsheng took the lead, undoubtedly showing his attitude to Lin Jie.

Lu Shen was not surprised by this.

Through Lin Xi's detailed introduction last night, he already had a full understanding of the internal situation of the Seven Star Gang, and at this moment, the name and the real body were matched, and memories related to Shi Changsheng immediately appeared in his mind.

Facing this person's grim gaze, Lu Shen said unhurriedly: "Hall Master Shi, this trip is not to meddle in the internal affairs of the Seven Star Gang, let alone point fingers, but I hope to provide some advice for your seniors to refer to. ”

Shi Changsheng deliberately accentuated his tone before, but he didn't mean to be tempted, but at this moment, seeing that Lu Shen was calm and measured, he asked coldly, "What opinion?" ”

Lu Shen looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Although your predecessors are in the Northland, they should not have the experience of facing Yan and Jing troops head-on, and they are slightly lacking in experience in this regard. He participated in last year's war in the whole process, and successively fought with the two armies of the Yan Dynasty and the main cavalry of the Jing Dynasty, and had a better understanding of their strength and style. If you don't dislike it, you are willing to tell you all about what you have learned on the battlefield. ”

Shi Changsheng's face did not soften, and he said lightly: "It is rare for Captain Lu to have a heart, but it is not difficult to guess what the idea of the Xiao Dadu Governor behind you is, it is nothing more than to use the Seven Star Gang as a knife and use our people to fight against the regular army of the Yan Dynasty, consuming and involving their energy, so as to reduce the pressure on the border army of Southern Qi." ”

These words echoed in the conference hall, and the faces of many high-ranking members of the Seven Star Gang were not very good-looking.

Lu Shen had expected this, and asked calmly: "There is something I don't understand in my heart, and I want to ask Hall Master Shi." If Zai Xia hadn't appeared here, wouldn't the Seven Star Gang have to face the pressure of the Yan Dynasty? Frankly speaking, no matter whether Lu comes or not, the Seven Star Gang will have to fight against the Yan Imperial Court. In that case, why is the hall master unwilling to accept the kindness of his subordinates? ”

Of course, Shi Changsheng could say that the Seven Star Gang did not need Nanqi's help, but such an answer was contrary to his attitude, because he insisted that the Seven Star Gang could not accept the Yan Dynasty's recruitment.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Shen took the opportunity to say: "Hall Master Shi, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. ”

Shi Changsheng's eyes condensed slightly, and he gradually realized that this young man had actually understood his thoughts, and said slowly: "Having said that, the Southern Qi border army can't rely on Lieutenant Lu's untruthful analysis to drive the entire Seven Star Gang to work hard for it. As a last resort, we can sit down and negotiate with the Yan Dynasty. ”

"This is natural, what the hall master said is reasonable."

Lu Shen didn't refute hastily, and said calmly: "It's just that I think that everything should be considered before winning or losing, especially at this important juncture that is related to the fate of tens of thousands of people, and preparing for the worst is the right way." For the Seven Star Gang, it is very likely that they will be encircled and suppressed by the Yan Dynasty army in the future, and although the members of your gang are brave, if they do not have the experience of dealing with the military formation and sufficient training, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy's offensive. I am willing to contribute all my strength to the Seven Star Gang and help you build an elite army. ”

Shi Changsheng's complexion changed slightly.

The shadow of the so-called tree of human fame, some words have completely different weight when spoken from different mouths.

If Lu Shen was just a nobody, this statement would naturally be regarded as rhetoric, and none of these green forest heroes in the hall were ruthless characters who licked blood from the knife edge and were accustomed to countless lives and deaths, how could they easily believe the bold words of a young man.

Although Lu Shen is young, he is a solid military meritorious lord of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and he shined in last year's war, instigating a hearty victory with a weak crown. No matter which country's army such a talent is in, such a talent will rise to the top and become the target of the military's key training, and he said that it is naturally not whimsical to train an elite male division for the Seven Star Gang.

From another point of view, such a promising upstart in the army originally only needed to lead troops in the army with peace of mind, and it was not difficult to become an official in the future, but he came to the deep mountains and old forests to give advice to the Seven Star Gang, which in itself was the greatest sincerity of the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion in Southern Qi.

Lu Shen didn't pick out the joint, but many people, including Shi Changsheng, had already come back to their senses, and there was a little more gentleness in their eyes when they looked at this young man again.

"What Lu Duwei said is not unreasonable, but it seems that there is also a suspicion of alarmism."

Dong Mian, the master of the mountain hall who was sitting in the third place on the right, spoke indifferently, with obvious alienation in his tone.

Lu Shen looked at the other party's angular and resolute face, and said calmly: "Please also ask Hall Master Dong to make it clear." ”

Dong Mian said leisurely: "You said that you should plan for the worst in everything, I don't object to this, but for the Seven Star Gang, there are not only two choices to retreat into the depths of the mountains and fight to the death with the Yan Dynasty, we can also accept the other party's recruitment." As the head of the Northland Green Forest, the Seven Star Gang has more than tens of thousands of gangs, and the Yan Dynasty will not ignore this, so we have the confidence to negotiate with the other party. In other words, accepting Zhao'an is not a dead end. ”

Shi Changsheng couldn't help frowning, but there were still some people in the hall who showed a look of approval after listening to Dong Mian's words.

Lu Shen had a clearer understanding of Lin Jie's thoughts at this moment.

Most of the time, Lin Jie, as the leader of the gang, can decide how to deal with various affairs within the gang, but in the face of this kind of major event, he must consider the opinions of the vast majority of people, otherwise it is very likely to cause internal tears.

Moreover, not every high-level person who supported the acceptance of Zhao'an was related to the spies of the Yan Dynasty, and many simply hoped to find a way out for all the gangsters.

That's why Lin Jie arranged this meeting, on the one hand, he hoped that Lu Shen could win more support, and on the other hand, he screened the true purpose of others through various signs.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Shen's tone became solemn: "Hall Master Dong, please forgive me for being blunt, your thoughts are too simplistic, and you don't understand the true meaning of the word Zhao'an. ”

Dong Mian didn't laugh angrily, and said: "What does Lu Duwei say, Dong is willing to listen." ”

Lu Shen said carefully: "The so-called Zhao'an actually has little to do with the Yan Imperial Court, but the Jing Dynasty magnates are behind the scenes. I don't know if your predecessors have heard of it, in the past half a year, there have been constant changes in the court of Yanguo, and the chief and deputy privy councillors of the Privy Council and several generals have resigned one after another, and they have been replaced by a group of young and powerful upstarts. According to the information collected by the Weaving Department of our dynasty, it can be seen that these upstarts have a close relationship with the Jing Dynasty, and they are basically the generals trained by the Jing Dynasty in the past ten years. ”

The news of the Seven Star Gang is not closed, and the Yin Hall, which specializes in exploring intelligence, has hidden piles in all major cities in the north, but the specialization and shrewdness of the art industry are definitely not as good as the Warp Weaving Division.

Lu Shen's words made many people fall into deep thought.

He met Dong Mian's direct gaze and continued: "In other words, the Yan Dynasty's recent recruitment of the Northland Green Forest Gang was originally instructed by the Jing Dynasty. The reason why the Jing Dynasty suddenly made a big move was because they had preliminarily completed the adjustment of the Yan State court, from supporting the puppet court in the past to directly installing people now. The second move of the Jing Dynasty was to clear the hidden dangers in the territory, so as to complete the preparations before the war, and then gather forces to invade the Qi country in the south. ”

Dong Mian frowned slightly and said: "Lu Duwei is quick to talk, and Dong will no longer go around the corner." Ling said that all this was planned by the Jing Dynasty in order to use troops against Southern Qi, but this seems to have little to do with the Seven Star Gang. The Seven Stars Gang has no loss to ourselves by accepting Zhao'an, and we can use this to seek more benefits. ”

"On the surface, it does."

In the face of Dong Mian's extremely straightforward attitude, Lu Shen was still not in a hurry or impatient, and said slowly: "But I would like to ask Dong Hall Master in the future, if you are the person in power in the Jing Dynasty, after recruiting the Seven Stars Gang, do you feel free to place them, do you suspect that these green forest heroes will secretly connect with each other, and when the war between the north and the south reaches the most critical moment, stab Jing Chao in the back?" ”

Dong Mian was stunned, and most of the people in the hall did not look good.

Lu Shen said calmly: "If I were in that position, I would definitely think of this, but I can't waste too much energy to guard against so many reckless heroes, and besides, I may not have so many masters in my hands to be in charge of monitoring." The easiest way is to divide and disperse your people after you accept the recruitment, and then kill you one by one, and those ordinary gangs will be leaderless and unable to form a real threat. ”

"Only the dead are the most honest in this world."

This last sentence is like a sharp arrow shot into everyone's hearts.

Dong Mian had to bow his head and say: "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

"Not a possibility, but a necessity."

Lu Shen was categorical and said categorically: "Jing Lian and our Qi people have no origin, so there is naturally opposition and suspicion. Can you remember how many Qi people they slaughtered in the northern land since the eighteen-year prospect when the Iron Cavalry broke through the Jinghe defense line? Stained with blood and tears, and full of bones, isn't it enough to prove to you the cruelty and tyranny of the Jing people? In the face of this group of butchers who kill people without blinking, your predecessors will actually believe the word Zhao'an......"

His expression was solemn, and he sighed in a deep voice: "Please forgive me for being disrespectful, such an idea is really a bit naïve. ”

In the silence, Jiang Houming, the hall master of the Wind Hall, looked at Lu Shen with a deep gaze.

After the man identified himself, he was in disbelief shock.

It is not uncommon for the border army of Southern Qi to send people to come, Jiang Houming received a secret letter from the county lord of the Jing Dynasty some time ago, talking about the possibility that Southern Qi was interfering in this matter, and asked him to pay close attention to the relevant news.

However, Jiang Houming did not expect that Xiao Wangzhi would let Lu Shen come in person, it is said that the county lord of Qingyu wanted to kill this person quickly, and he even dared to cross the area controlled by the Yan Dynasty.

Jiang Houming realized that this news was likely to further gain the appreciation of the county lord of Qingyu, but he felt that it was very tricky. Because Lu Shen's identity has a certain degree of persuasiveness to the Seven Star Gang, the fact that Shi Changsheng was easily persuaded is a clear proof, and now Dong Mian is speechless.

His mind was racing at the moment, and he didn't notice Lin Jie's thoughtful gaze sweeping over his face.

Lin Jie looked around at everyone, and finally met Lu Shen's eyes.

Lu Shen clearly saw the look of approval in his eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Houming coughed lightly and dusted his sleeves.
