204. Chapter 202
The old prince cheered up and laid out the strategy to deal with the challenge of the Qiankun League.
The gang leaders of the gangs in Texas City obeyed the instructions and hurriedly received orders to deploy, preparing for a bloody battle with the Qiankun Alliance. These local gangs in Texas City numbered as little as two or three thousand or as many as tens of thousands, and it was not easy to mobilize a large number of people.
An hour flies.
The sky outside the mansion is getting brighter, and it is already dawn, and it is time for the Qiankun League's ultimatum. However, what is surprising is that the Qiankun League did not carry out a bloodbath before dawn on the gangs that did not take the initiative to surrender to the Qiankun League, as they said before.
On the contrary, the whole city of Texas 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 from the local gang in Texas did not detect any abnormalities in the city.
On the contrary, the leaders of the gangs were uneasy, they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Qiankun League, and their family businesses were all in this Texas city, not in the field like the Qiankun League. If the Qiankun League disregarded the morality of the rivers and lakes and launched a killing spree in Dezhou 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 black-robed man with a bow in his hand rode a fast horse to more than ten zhang away from Prince Ji's mansion, stopped his horse, and shouted loudly to the palace with the true qi of the inner family: "Huo Zhenyuan, the protector of the Qiankun League, is ordered by the chief scoop to visit the old prince Ji." 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", the iron feather arrow shot out of the air and pierced the gate of King Ji's mansion, and then the black-robed man rode away wildly.
The four guards with knives in front of King Ji's mansion were stunned for a moment, not daring to chase after them. A few of them were just ordinary first-class masters, and they were not opponents of the Qiankun Alliance's Dharma Protector at all.
The leader of the guards pulled the iron feather arrow out of the door, and it was three inches deep, piercing through the gate and covering it with subway skin.
That big man just now is definitely a divine bow, so he can have such a strong arm strength!
The guard secretly smacked his tongue, took off the letterhead inserted in the arrow, hurried into the palace hall, and presented the letterhead to the old prince.
Just now, the Qiankun League Protector shouted loudly, and the entire palace heard it clearly, and there was no need for the guards to say more.
Old Prince Ji took the letterhead, and there were only a few sentences on it.
After reading it, Old Prince Ji's face looked deep. The old man said to himself in his heart that he had underestimated the means of the Qiankun Alliance, and he actually wanted to use this method to seize Texas City.
He looked over at the leaders of the gangs in the hall, who had been waiting for a long time.
"The chief of the Qiankun Alliance, in the letter, drew a line with this king, saying that he would challenge my Ji Wangfu openly. Old Prince Ji raised the letterhead in his hand, paused, and continued: "The letter proposes three ways to decide the ownership of Texas City. One of the methods is that the Qiankun League and our Texas City Gang will each send 50 gang masters to find a place to fight to the death, and the winning side will be respected! The second method is that the two sides will set up strongholds in the city and attack each other, and the one that loses the stronghold must take the initiative to surrender to the other side. The two sides of the method have unlimited scuffle, each by means of gang fighting, assassination, poisoning, etc., and do everything until one side surrenders. Of these three methods, Ji Wangfu chooses one of them. What do you think about these three methods?"
The gang leaders were stunned, the people of the Qiankun League planned to use the gang rules to compete for the winner? This made them a little unexpected, but they also secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Since the Qiankun League plans to do things according to the rules of the gang, everything is easy to say.
Lin Fanxuan, the leader of the Dragon and Phoenix Gang, is an inconspicuous thin little old man, very scheming, and has always been famous among the gang leaders in Texas 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 of the Qiankun League are all in line with the rules. The Qiankun League proposed three methods, let's choose one, the intention is nothing more than to use the fair and honest means to subdue our gangs in Texas City. If we refuse, we are afraid that we will not be able to convince the public. Although the Qiankun Alliance put forward three conditions, only the first and second methods could be chosen. 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 Prince Ji 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 Qiankun Alliance are all immortal cultivators, and as long as any one of them fights, it is enough to win.
And it is impossible for Ji Wangfu to send immortal cultivators to fight, he is already in his twilight years, and he does not have the strength to participate in this kind of battle in the rivers and lakes. His son is in the Shingon Taoist Temple and is reluctant to come back to take care of these gang affairs, and his grandson must leave Texas City to avoid trouble for the sake of safety.
If the Ji Wangfu and the Qiankun Alliance engage in a life-and-death battle, the Ji Wangfu will almost certainly lose, so it will be ruled out first.
The third method, the fish is dead, the price to be paid for this method is too great, and the leaders of the various gangs in Texas City will never be willing to agree to this method. Although it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes are all begging for a life by licking blood with knives and heads, they hang their heads on their belts. However, after the gang leader has a huge interest, how many 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 Texas 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 Qiankun Alliance. Trouble the Lin gang leader to go to investigate, visit the chief scoop of the Qiankun League, and convey the meaning of this king. Old Lord Ji said slowly with a gloomy old face.
Lin Fanxuan immediately agreed, took his henchmen and masters, and went to the Dehui Inn to meet the chief scoop of the Qiankun League.
Since a few days ago, almost all of the masters of the Qiankun Alliance have gathered near the Dehui Inn, prohibiting the local gangs in Dezhou City from approaching the Dehui Inn. Why did the Qiankun League choose an inn as its stronghold in the city, which made Lin Fanxuan very puzzled.
However, Lin Fanxuan didn't care about this.
The chief scoop of the Qiankun Alliance, to replace the Ji Wangfu and control more than a dozen gangs of all sizes in the entire Dezhou City, this is the key.
Lin Fanxuan actually didn't reject this, the Qiankun Alliance replaced Ji Mansion, just a big leader above his head, as long as his Dragon and Phoenix Gang's power was still in place, and he didn't break his muscles and bones, anything could be discussed.
Lin Fanxuan took a few henchmen to the Dehui Inn, and said very politely to the Qiankun League gang guarding near the inn: "Longfeng Gang Lin Fanxuan asked to see the chief of the Qiankun League and spread the words of the old prince Ji." ”
The leader of the Qiankun League, who was guarding near the Dehui Inn, was Wen Guangyuan, Wen Zhengming's nephew.
Wen Guangyuan 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 Lin Da gang of the Dragon and Phoenix Gang, long admiration, long admiration." You are not qualified to see the chief scoop of my Qiankun League. Say, what does Prince Ji have to say to the chief scoop boss? I'll pass it on on my behalf. ”
Lin Fanxuan choked for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "Old Prince Ji has decided to set up a stronghold on each side to compete for the competition. My Texas City Gang is based in King Ji's Mansion, as long as the Qiankun League can attack King Ji's Mansion, all of my Texas City Gang will surrender. I don't know where your gang plans to base it?"
Wen Guangyuan nodded, returned to the Dehui Inn to ask Wen Zhengming and the others for instructions, and after half a cup of tea, he came back, pointed to the Dehui Inn behind him, and said to Lin Fanxuan: "The chief scoop said that the Qiankun League will use the house of this Dehui Inn as a base." With six days as the time limit, three days by Ji Wangfu to shoot first, there is no limit to the number of people. If you have the ability to invade all the courtyards inside and outside the Dehui Inn, I will not say a word, and immediately withdraw from Dezhou City, and no longer set foot in Dezhou City for half a step. Three days later, the Qiankun League attacked King Ji's mansion. If the Ji Wangfu is defeated, he must withdraw from the city of Texas, and all the local gangs must also surrender. ”
Lin Fanxuan was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the Dehui Inn and frowned.
Although this Dehui Inn is one of the few luxury inns in the city, it is not a place with high walls and deep courtyards, 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, King Ji's Mansion is a real deep mansion, and the walls of the courtyard 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 Qiankun League has only entered the Dehui Inn for a few days, and I am afraid that it will not be too late to set any traps. Why does the Qiankun League have such a big tone and must be able to hold the Dehui Inn?
Lin Fanxuan said: "What if you fail to attack King Ji's Mansion after six days, and my Texas Gang does not take the Dehui Inn?"
Wen Guangyuan smiled contemptuously and said, "Then there is no need to say more, since the two sides are evenly divided, then Dezhou City will naturally be half occupied by my Qiankun League and Ji Wangfu." King Ji's Mansion must give up the territory in the south of the city. ”
After Lin Fanxuan listened, he didn't say anything more, and left.
Dehui Inn.
After receiving the reply from Ji Wangfu and deciding to use the stronghold to fight the winner, Wen Zhengming, You Yaowen, Mu Huali and others couldn't help but be surprised. Wen Zhengming originally planned to attack and bloody the local gangs in Texas.
But he was dissuaded by Yuwen Zhouyuan, and he didn't want the rise and fall of the old and new forces in Texas 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 Yuwen Zhouyuan, so there was a matter of the Qiankun League temporarily seizing Dezhou City and changing its tactics.
Wen Zhengming said with deep admiration: "Brother Yuwen is really a master, and he has a sense of proportion in the Texas Gang. The third method, the loss of the gang melee is too great, and it will definitely be eliminated by the gang leader on his own initiative. And Ji Wangfu will choose the first method or the second method according to its own strength. Ji 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 the Yuwen brothers. Ji Wangfu would never have imagined that a True Yuan Period monk would set up a forbidden formation at the Dehui Inn, even if the monks of the Ji 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. ”
