The old prince cheered up and arranged the strategy to deal with the challenge of the Northern Gang, and the gang leaders of the various gangs in the city obeyed the instructions and hurriedly received the order to deploy, preparing for a bloody battle with the Northern Gang. These local gangs in Qingzhou City have as few as two or three thousand people, and as many as tens of thousands, and it is not easy to mobilize a large number of people.

An hour flies.

It was getting bright outside the house, it was already dawn, and it was the deadline for the ultimatum of the Northern Gang. However, surprisingly, the Northern Gang did not carry out a bloodbath before dawn against the gangs that did not voluntarily surrender to the Northern Gang, as they said earlier.

On the contrary, the entire Qingzhou City is surprisingly calm.

Last night there was a heavy snowfall, shivering cold, just dawn, almost no people on the streets of the city outside the house. Except for the occasional barking, the cold and quiet are incomparable.

The spies from the local gang in Qingzhou did not detect any abnormalities in the city.

On the contrary, the leaders of the gangs were uneasy, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the North Twenty Gang. Their family business is in this Qingzhou City, not in the North Twenty Gang. If the North Twenty Gang disregarded the morality of the rivers and lakes and started a large-scale killing in Qingzhou City, I was afraid that they would suffer heavy losses.

Just as these leaders were stomped through the silence of the long street with the sound of horses' hooves.

A blue-robed man with a bow in his hand rode a fast horse to more than ten zhang away from Prince Liao's mansion, stopped his horse, and shouted loudly to the palace with the true qi of the inner family: "The North Gang protects the law and guards the wind, and on the orders of the chief scoop handle, visit the old prince Liao." A letterhead, please look at the old prince. ”

After he finished speaking, he took out an iron feather arrow tied to a letterhead that had been prepared long ago, put it on the big bow, and with a "whoosh" sound, the iron feather arrow shot out of the air and pierced the gate of Liao Wang's mansion, and then the blue-robed man rode away on horseback.

The four guards with knives in front of King Liao's mansion were stunned for a while. Don't dare to catch up. A few of them are just ordinary first-class masters, and they are also opponents of the Northern Gang's Dharma Protector Land. The leader of the guard pulled the iron feather arrow out of the door. It's three inches deep. Pierced through the gate, inlaid with subway skin.

That big man just now is definitely a divine bow. In order to have such a strong arm strength!

The guard smacked his tongue secretly. Remove the letterhead that is inserted into the arrow. Hurried into the palace hall. Present the letterhead to the old prince. Just now, the Northern Gang Protector shouted loudly. The whole palace was clear. There is no need for the guards to say more.

Old Prince Liao took the letterhead. There are only a few sentences on it. After reading it, his face looked dark. Talking to myself. The old man underestimated the means of the general manager of the North Gang. He actually wanted to use this method to seize Qingzhou City.

He looked over to the gang leaders in the lobby. The leaders have been waiting for a long time.

"The North Gang is the boss. In the letter, he crossed out the message to the king. said that he wanted to challenge me Liao Wangfu openly. ”

Old Prince Liao raised the letterhead in his hand, paused, and continued: "The letter proposes three methods to determine the ownership of Qingzhou City. One of the methods, the North Gang and my Qingzhou City Gang, each side sent 50 gang masters, in a mass grave on the southern slope outside Qingzhou City to conduct a life-and-death fight, the winner is respected, and the defeated side surrenders. The second method is that both sides set up strongholds in the city and attack each other, and the side that loses the stronghold must take the initiative to surrender to the other side. The three parties of the method are engaged in unrestricted scuffle, each by means of gang fighting, assassination, poisoning, etc., and doing everything until one of them can no longer bear it and voluntarily surrenders. The head of the North Gang proposed these three methods, and Liao Wangfu chose one of them. You are all in the rivers and lakes and the three methods proposed by the general scoop of the Northern Gang, what are your opinions?"

The gang leaders were stunned that the people of the Northern Gang were going to use the rules of the gang to compete against each other, which made them a little unexpected, and they were secretly happy in their hearts. Since the Northern Gang plans to do things according to the rules of the gang, everything is easy to say.

Shen Li, the gang leader of the Iron Palm Gang, is an inconspicuous thin little old man who is stable and scheming, and has always been famous among the gang leaders in Qingzhou City.

He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Old prince, according to the customs of the rivers and lakes, the three methods proposed by the chief scoop of the Northern Gang are all in line with the rules. The North Gang proposed three methods, let's choose one, the intention is nothing more than to use fair and honest means to subdue the gangs in Qingzhou City. If we refuse, we are afraid that we will not be able to convince the public.

Although the North 20 Gang put forward three conditions, only the first and second methods were available. The third method, a chaotic fight without limits, will cause too many casualties on both sides, and it is not appropriate to use it for fear of inappropriateness. As for which one to choose, please let the old prince decide. ”

All the gang leaders exchanged heads and nodded in agreement.

Old Lord Liao took the letterhead and sat high in the lobby, closing his eyes and thinking about something.

The first method, the fight to the death, must be excluded.

The current four scoop masters of the Northern Twenty Gang are all immortal cultivators, and as long as any one of them fights, it is enough to win. And it is impossible for Liao Wangfu to send immortal cultivators to fight. He is already in his twilight years, and he doesn't have the strength to participate in this kind of fighting. His son is in Qingyun Taoist Temple and is reluctant to come back to take care of these gang affairs, and his grandson must leave Qingzhou City and go out to avoid trouble for the sake of safety.

If the Liao Wangfu and the Northern Gang engage in a life-and-death battle, the Liao Wangfu will almost certainly lose, so it will be ruled out first.

The third method, the fish is dead and the net is broken, the price to be paid for this method is too great, and the gang leaders in Qingzhou City will never be willing to agree to this method. Although it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes are all knives

and hang the head on the belt. However, the gang has a huge number of people who are willing to lick the blood at the knife edge?!

The only way left, in fact, is the second way.

That is, each side set up a stronghold, and whichever side was seized had a stronghold, it took the initiative to surrender and submit. This will cost the least and the gang will not suffer too many casualties. No matter who wins or loses, there is room for manoeuvre.

Moreover, the local gangs in Qingzhou City are familiar with the situation in the city and occupy a favorable position, so it is easier to defend their stronghold. There may still be a chance of victory.

"Let's use the second method to compete with the Northern Gang. Trouble the Shen gang leader to run and investigate, visit the chief scoop of the North Gang, and convey the meaning of this king. ”

Old Lord Liao had a gloomy face and said slowly.

Shen Li immediately agreed, took his henchmen, and went to the Qinghong Inn to meet the chief scoop of the North Gang.

Since a few days ago, almost all of the masters of the North Gang have concentrated near the Qinghong Inn, prohibiting the local gangs in Qingzhou City from approaching the Qinghong Inn. Why did the Northern Gang choose an inn as their stronghold in the city, which made Shen Li very confused.

However, Tatsuki doesn't care about that.

The general scoop of the north wants to replace Liao Wangfu and control more than a dozen gangs of all sizes in Qingzhou City.

That's the point.

Shen Li actually didn't reject this, the Northern Gang replaced Liao's Mansion, but it was just a big collar on top of his head. As long as his Iron Palm Gang is still in power and does not break his muscles and bones, anything can be discussed.

He took a few henchmen to the Qing Inn and politely said to the North Gang guarding near the inn, Shen Li begged to see the head of the North Gang and spread the words of the old prince Liao.

The leader of the North Gang, who is guarding near the Qinghong Inn, is Zhang Rong, Zhang Zhe's brother.

Zhang Rong looked at the thin little old man in front of him with his eyes open, and sneered: "It turned out to be the leader of the Shen Da gang of the Iron Palm Gang, I have been looking up for a long time." You're not qualified to meet the head of my North Twenty Gang. Say, what does Prince Liao have to say to the chief scooper? I'll pass it on on my behalf. ”

Shen Li choked for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "Old Lord Liao has already decided to set up a stronghold on each side to compete for the competition. My Qingzhou City Gang is based in Liao Wangfu, as long as the North Gang can attack Liao Wangfu, all my Qingzhou City Gang will surrender. I don't know where your gang plans to base it?"

Zhang Rong nodded, returned to the Qinghong Inn to ask Zhang Zhe and the others for instructions, and after half a cup of tea, he came back, pointed to the Qinghong Inn behind him, and said to Shen Li: "The chief scoop said that the North Gang will use the house of this Qinghong Inn as a base."

With a six-day deadline, the Liao Wangfu will shoot first on three days, and there is no limit to the number of people. If you have the ability to attack all the courtyards inside and outside the Qinghong Inn, I will not say a word to the North Gang, and immediately withdraw from Qingzhou City, and no longer set foot in Qingzhou City for half a step. Three days later, the North Gang attacked the Liao Wangfu. If the Liao Wangfu is defeated, it must withdraw from Qingzhou City, and all the local gangs in Chengzhou City must also surrender. ”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the Qinghong Inn and frowned.

Although this Qinghong Inn is one of the few luxury inns in the city, it is not a place with high walls and deep courtyards, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and any place on all sides of the inn can be entered. It is not easy to defend such a place.

On the contrary, the Liao Wangfu is a real deep mansion, and the courtyard walls are not only tall, but also extremely thick, almost comparable to a small fortress. Even if the army is mobilized, it is difficult to attack it in a short time.

The North Gang has only entered the Qinghong Inn for a few days, and I am afraid that it will not be too late to set any traps. Why is the North Gang so big that it will be able to defend the Qinghong Inn?

He said: "What if you fail to attack King Liao's Mansion after six days, and my Qingzhou Gang does not take the Qinghong Inn?"

Zhang Rong smiled contemptuously and said, "Then there is no need to say more, since the two sides are evenly divided, then Qingzhou City will naturally be half occupied by my North Gang and Liao Wangfu." Liao Wangfu must give up the territory in the south of the city. ”

After Shen Li listened, he didn't say anything more, and left.

Qinghong Inn.

After getting Liao Wangfu's reply and deciding to use the stronghold to fight the winner, the Zhang brothers and sisters, as well as Fan Jiasheng, Xia Laohei and others, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Zhang Zhe originally planned to attack the local gangs in Qingzhou and carry out a bloody bath.

But he was dissuaded by Ye Qin.

The gang war in Zhuqi County six years ago still left a big shadow in Ye Qin's heart. He didn't want the rise and fall of the old and new forces in Qingzhou City to be too bloody. It is best to be able to use a simple method to smooth the transition.

The strategy of choosing one of the three was proposed by Ye Qin, so there was a matter of the Northern Gang temporarily seizing Qingzhou City and changing tactics.

"Brother Ye is really from the Jianghu Gang, and he has a sense of proportion in the Qingzhou Gang. Zhang Zhe was deeply admired, "The third method, the loss of the gang melee is too great, and it will definitely be excluded by the gang leader." And Liao Wangfu will choose the first method or the second method according to his own strength.

Liao Wangfu felt that his own strength was not good and he was unwilling to fight hard, so he would choose the second way to solve it, and immediately fell into the trap of Brother Ye.

Liao Wangfu would never have imagined that a monk in the foundation building period would set up a forbidden formation in the Qinghong Inn, even if the monks of the Liao family were allowed to attack, they would not be able to rush in half a step, and they would attack each other's strongholds, and they would lose. ”
