Old Prince Liao cheered up and laid out the strategy to deal with the challenges of the Northern Gang. The gang leaders of the gangs in Qingzhou City followed the instructions and hurriedly received orders 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 outside the streets of the city. Except for the occasional barking, the cold and quiet are incomparable.

The spies sent out by the local gangs in Qingzhou did not detect any changes in the city.

On the contrary, the leaders of the gangs were a little 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 the leaders were struck by the sound of horses' hooves, the silence of the long street.

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

After he finished shouting, he took out an iron feather arrow tied to a letterhead that had been prepared from the quiver, 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 galloped away.

The four guards with knives in front of the Liao Wang's Mansion were stunned for a moment, not daring to chase after them. A few of them are just ordinary first-class masters, not opponents of the Northern Gang Protector. The leader of the guard pulled the iron feather arrow out of the door, and it was three inches deep, piercing through the iron sheet that was embedded in the gate.

That big man just now is definitely a sharpshooter, so he can have such a strong arm strength!

The guard smacked his tongue secretly, took off the letterhead inserted in the arrow, and hurried into the palace hall to present the letterhead to the old prince. The loud shouting of the protector of the Northern Gang just now was heard clearly in the entire palace, and there was no need for the guards to say more.

Old Prince Liao took the letterhead, and there were only a few sentences on it. After reading it, his face looked dark, and he said to himself in his heart, the old man had underestimated the means of the chief scoop of the Northern Gang, and he actually wanted to use this method to seize Qingzhou City.

He looked over to the gang leaders in the hall, who had been waiting for a long time.

"The chief scoop of the Northern Gang crossed out the line with this king in the letter, saying that he would challenge my 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 third method is that the two sides will fight without restrictions, each relying on their own means, 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 from the rivers and lakes, what are your opinions on the three methods proposed by the head of the Northern Gang?"

The gang leaders were stunned, and the people of the Northern Gang planned to use the gang rules to compete for the winner? This made them a little unexpected, and they were secretly happy in their hearts. Since the Northern Gang plans to act according to the rules of the gang, then everything is easy to say.

Shen Li, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, is an inconspicuous thin little old man, calm 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 fight, 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 leaders of the gangs in Qingzhou City will never be willing to agree to this method. Although it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes lick the blood from the knife edge and hang their heads on their belts. However, after the gang leader has a huge family business, how many of them are willing to lick the blood from the knife?!

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 a few henchmen, and went to the Qinghong Inn to meet the chief scoop of the Northern Gang.

Since a few days ago, many masters of the North Gang have almost all concentrated near the Qinghong Inn, and the local gangs in Qingzhou City are forbidden to approach the Qinghong Inn. Why did the Northern Gang choose an inn as his stronghold in the city, which made Shen Li very puzzled.

However, Shen Li didn't care about this.

The chief scoop of the Northern Gang 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 Wangfu, but it was just a big leader above 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 Qinghong Inn, and very politely said to the North Gang guarding near the inn, Shen Li asked to see the head of the North Gang and spread the words of the old prince Liao.

The leader of the Northern Gang, who was guarding near the Qinghong Inn, was 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 Prince Liao has already decided, and each side will set up a stronghold to compete for the best." 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 six days as the time limit, the first three days will be made by Liao Wangfu first, 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, then my North Gang will not say a word, and immediately withdraw from Qingzhou City, and no longer set foot in Qingzhou City for half a step. The last three said that the North Gang attacked the Liao Wangfu. If the Liao Wangfu is defeated, he must withdraw from Qingzhou City, and all the local gangs in Qingzhou City must also surrender. ”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, 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 that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you can enter it from any place on all sides of the inn. 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 the Liao Wangfu 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 gang in Qingzhou, but after Ye Qin found out, he dissuaded him.

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, who wanted to set up a trap for Liao Wangfu and let them take the initiative to get inside. That's why the Northern Gang temporarily changed its tactics to capture Qingzhou City.

"Brother Ye is also from a gang, and he has a very measured understanding of the idea of the Qingzhou City 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 leader of the Qingzhou City Gang."

And Liao Wangfu will choose the first method or the second method according to its 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. ”

Xia Laohei and Fan Jiasheng smiled bitterly, the two of them, one is a blacksmith who has been working for half his life, and the other is a scholar who is drunk in books, but they are not real people in the rivers and lakes. Only Zhang Zhe was born in a family of rivers and lakes, and he was born with fine clothes and jade food, not mixed up from the lowest level of the gang, he has not suffered much, and many times he does not cherish the surnames of those ordinary gangs. Ye Qin, a monk in the foundation building period, is quite proficient in gang affairs, and his methods are more like old rivers and lakes than them.
