Guo Kun sneered and reprimanded: "This is the good strategy you want to offer? Easy, you say? How sure are you that outwitting? And negotiate with the bandits? Isn't this a crime of gangsterism? What a bad idea you've come up with? It's just a bunch of gibberish. ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Little prince, the matter has not been done, how do you know that you are not sure?" It's a 1 out of 10 chance that it's better than doing nothing. Why not give it a try? It really can't be done, and then mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress it. And even if you can't outwit it, if you can have people to blend into the enemy village, you can set fire to people and respond to the encirclement and suppression of soldiers and horses at a critical time, isn't it not a vain act? Personally, I think that there is a chance of outwitting, not that I have no evidence, bandits are bandits after all, although they claim to be righteous and righteous, but they act for profit. But it is profitable, who wants to annoy the court in exchange for the scourge of extermination? This robbery of the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony will definitely anger the Holy Lord and the imperial court, how can the bandits not know this? Therefore, if there is an opportunity to know the benefits and disadvantages, things can be done. As for what the little prince said about the crime of banditry, the grass people dared to say it, this is hypocritical. Retrieving the birthday gift is the top priority at the moment, and the rest will be left to the future. In terms of taking another 10,000 steps, the prince sent other people to contact and outwit, and it was not the prince or the little prince who went in person. If someone really talks about the bandits, won't the prince and the little prince push it clean and know nothing? ”

Guo Kun was speechless, in comparison, Lin Jue acted much more simply than himself. He is right, the current big crisis is the robbery of the birthday gift, which is the top priority, how can other things be considered so much? In the future, if someone makes trouble, he can indeed clean things up.

Guo Bing frowned and thought: "Dead horses are regarded as live horse doctors, and this method can also be tried." However, who should be sent to infiltrate the bandit village and contact the bandits? This person must be wise and courageous, and not afraid of life and death. Go deep into the bandits, if one is not good, there will be no return, who can be worthy? And it can only be people from our palace, and it can never be people from the yamen or the garrison yamen. After all, it's hard to know the roots. ”

Guo Kun thought for a while and said, "Father, is it okay for Shen Tan?" In terms of martial arts, loyalty and courage, Shen Tan should be a suitable candidate. ”

Guo Bing shook his head and said, "Shen Tan?" He didn't. Courage and martial arts are good, but resourcefulness is insufficient. The first thing is not martial arts, but resourcefulness. ”

"And what about my subordinate Liu Chuanfeng? He's also resourceful. Guo Kun said.

"He can't do it, he's a mouthful, and his eloquence is not good. If you can make contributions this time, you also need to be eloquent and eloquent. Guo Bing vetoed again.

Guo Kun scratched his head and said, "Then such a person is hard to find." I now know that there are very few talents in our royal palace, and we need to recruit more talents in the future. ”

Guo Bing sighed and said: "It's bustling on weekdays, but when it's really time to employ people, I find that there are a lot of mediocre talents, and I am really helpless." ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Lord Wang, little Lord Wang, you don't have to think about it, I can go." ”

"What? You? King Liang's father and son said in surprise.

"This is my offer, so I should do it. First, I know how to advance and retreat, and second, as the prince said, those who go here will be extremely dangerous, and even lose their lives. Since it is the solution I proposed, how can I let others take risks, it is naturally better for me to go. Lin Jue said quietly.

King Liang's father and son frowned and stared at Lin Jue, studying the motive behind Lin Jue's actions. Whoever takes the initiative to take this risk always feels that something is wrong.

"If you don't want others to be in danger, then you're not afraid of death?" Guo Bing asked coldly.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Lord, I came to the palace today to ask for guilt, if this happens, how will the prince deal with me?" At this time, I hope that the prince will not speak against his will. ”

Guo Bing frowned and thought about it, and said with a clear eye: "This king really wants to use you to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys." Recently, some people have been disrespectful to the royal palace, and this evil spirit needs to be rectified. But this king doesn't want to kill you, he only lets you ...... Life is better than death. ”

Guo Bing's tone was full of coldness, which made people deeply understand the meaning of life is better than death. That must be a cruel punishment that is extremely cruel and bottomless.

Lin Jue had goosebumps on his body, and he smiled reluctantly: "Life is better than death, that is more terrible than death." But if I'm going to end up like that, why should I take the risk? The worst outcome of this adventure is death. ”

Guo Bing was stunned, nodded and said, "This reason seems to make sense." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "It's not just this reason. Let me ask the prince again, if the robbery of this birthday gift cannot be resolved, and finally has to report to the court, and others don't say it, what kind of punishment will my Lin family receive? ”

Guo Bing frowned and said, "Are you from the Lin family?" Inevitably, it will be a catastrophe. If it is found that your Lin family is at fault in the escort, I am afraid that you will raid the house and kill a few people. If you find out that your Lin family is a bandit again, it will be the destruction of the entire clan. ”

Lin Jue said quietly: "However, if you really get to that point, in order to reduce the responsibility, the prince and the yamen will definitely detain all kinds of black pots for the Lin family, and even frame my Lin family for being a bandit, right?" ”

Guo Bing snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Guo Kun shouted: "Lin Jue, pay attention to your words. ”

Lin Jue sighed and said, "That's it, the grass people don't think much about it." The prince should understand by now that my personal safety and the safety of my Lin family's entire clan depend on whether this matter can be resolved. So what reason do I have not to take the risk? The prince asked me if I was afraid of death, of course I was afraid of death, who is not afraid of death? But death is coming, disaster is coming, if there is a chance to fight, what am I hesitating about? How many beats can life have? I, Lin Juebo, am this ray of life. ”

Guo Bing looked at Lin Jue in a daze, suddenly reached out and patted it lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Well said, there can be a few beats in life, this sentence is very appreciated by this king." A fight may open the sea and the sky, but shrinking the head and brain may not survive. This king was moved by you, and your eloquence is absolutely suitable. As for your strategy, I think the king has already had a preliminary understanding of it at the Oiran Tournament. You're the right person. ”

Seeing this, Guo Kun hurriedly leaned over Guo Bing's ear and whispered, "Father, aren't you worried that he wants to take the opportunity to escape?" ”

Lin Jue was only a few feet away from them, and although Guo Kun's voice was small, it also reached Lin Jue's ears word for word. Lin Jue felt that although this little prince was burly and tall, his eyes were not spacious enough, and he always liked to treat people with the heart of a villain.

Instead, Guo Bing showed his bearing, frowned and reprimanded Guo Kundao: "Kun'er, what are these words?" Lin Jue had already said it clearly just now, did he still need to doubt it? Besides, if he escaped, could the Lin family escape? I'm not like that. You are not allowed to say a word of that from now on. What does it mean to employ people without doubt, you still don't understand. ”

Guo Kun hurriedly nodded yes, his face full of shame.

……

Guo Bing and his son agreed to Lin Jue's plan to outwit him, but there were still many specific details to be discussed. Lin Jue put forward several requirements, and asked King Liang to meet them.

One is the issue of confidentiality. In view of the fact that there is a high probability of an inner ghost in this incident, Lin Jue asked King Liang to control the plan to a very small extent. Absolute confidentiality must be guaranteed to those who have knowledge of the matter and who assist it.

The second is the problem of manpower, of course Lin Jue can't go to the danger alone, he must have a few capable people to go with him. First, they can protect their own safety, and second, when it is critical, these people can act as an internal response to external encirclement and suppression. Of course, the number of people can't be too much, Lin Jue thinks that a dozen or so people are enough, and too many are useless. In addition, Lin Jue demanded that he have absolute control over these people to prevent them from sabotaging the operation.

Third, Lin Jue asked King Liang to mobilize a group of skilled craftsmen for his own use, because Lin Jue hoped to create a batch of suitable tools. Those things that have been lingering in his heart for a long time, since he is going to take an adventure this time, of course Lin Jue has to take it out, and he may be able to save his life and kill the enemy at a critical time.

Guo Bing agreed to all the above three points and implemented his promise to employ people without doubt. For the first two points, King Liang and his son can still understand, but for the third point, King Liang and his son are very puzzled, because it seems to be useless. This Lin Jue asked the skilled craftsmen of the palace to help him do some things, I don't know what the use is? There is nothing in the palace, a sword that sharpens iron like clay, and armor that can protect against sharp blades, is there anything more powerful than these in this Lin Jue?

But if you don't understand, you don't understand, it doesn't hurt to agree, it's just to spend some money and materials to let the craftsmen do something according to Lin Jue's requirements. Even if it doesn't work with the plan, it's nothing. After the major conditions were finalized, King Liang's father and son focused on some more specific details, such as how to infiltrate the bandits, how to contact the outside world, and so on, all of which needed to be planned in advance. The more carefully things are thought out, the more likely they are to succeed.

However, Lin Jue was not keen on talking about this, he only used one sentence: "I will act when the opportunity arises." "I took it lightly. This made King Liang's father and son feel a little depressed. But they saw that Lin Jue seemed to have a plan in his heart, but he just refused to say it, so they didn't ask anymore. In short, Lin Jue gave them the feeling that since the matter is in my hands, I have my own plan, the general direction is good, you don't have to worry about the specific details, that's my business.

However, there was another issue that Lin Jue talked about that attracted the attention of King Liang's father and son, and that was the possibility of failure raised by Lin Jue. It goes without saying that the chances of success from the start are low. Everyone is happy when they succeed, but how to deal with failure once they fail? This is a question that cannot be left unconsidered.

The answer given by Lin Jue is that it is necessary to mobilize soldiers and horses to prepare for a strong attack, subject to the limited time limit, if the time limit is reached, the soldiers and horses must launch an encirclement and suppression, and then Lin Jue and others will respond internally. Regarding the concern that the transfer of soldiers and horses must be approved by the imperial court, Lin Jue even gave a suggestion that made King Liang's father and son tremble.

Lin Jue's suggestion was to only mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Ning Navy, and all of them should be disguised as ordinary people, and secretly assemble somewhere to standby. No military ships, only civilian ships in camouflage. At the same time, the number of troops and horses mobilized should not be too much, and the Ning Navy had more than 5,000 troops, and at most about 1,500 people would be transferred to join the more than 2,000 troops still in Chuzhou. In this way, people will not be aware of the intention of the movement of troops and horses, and thus discover that there are unauthorized movements of soldiers and horses.

Of course, the premise of this is that King Liang must get Song Yanping, the commander of the Ning Navy, and the two deputy commanders, and they must agree to cooperate. To put it bluntly, the whole thing is to hide from the world and the sea, and deceive the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses to fight on Huainan Road without permission. The adventure of this idea made King Liang's father and son not only guilty of their previous rigidity and inflexibility, but also surprised by Lin Jue's boldness.

Thinking about it carefully, if it was according to Lin Jue's suggestion, this method of secretly transferring troops would also be feasible. As for Song Yanping and others, Guo Bing naturally had a way to persuade them. After all, if this matter cannot be resolved, he will not be able to escape the blame. They are responsible for protecting Caoyun, and if they don't want to be punished and lose their officials, I'm afraid they can only take risks together. As long as this matter is not known to Yan Zhengsu, it is not a big problem. The only thing worth worrying about is that it may be difficult to break through the bandits' cottage on Guishan Island with such a small number of troops, after all, in the past two decades, the imperial court has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack several times without success. Of course, if Lin Jue and them started trouble internally and set fire to it everywhere, it was not impossible to succeed.

In short, Lin Jue gave the advice he could, as for whether to do it or not, it was King Liang's business, and Lin Jue had no obligation to persuade him to do it. Especially now, now that he has decided to take the risk, Lin Jue needs to devote all his energy and brain power to perfecting the various processes of this plan.

How to blend in with the bandits, how to behave, when you can reveal your identity and communicate with the bandit leader, and when you must get out of the way. How to convince the other party, or if persuasion is hopeless, is there any other alternative? In short, a series of questions requires deep thinking. Although it was an adventure, Lin Jue never wanted to return in vain, let alone die there. What he hopes more is that if he can solve this matter, he can resolve the contradiction with King Liang, and he can make his status in the Lin family rise in an all-round way. After all, this crisis is not in the experience of the previous life, and the biggest extinction crisis in the previous life is still to come, and I can't forget this no matter what.
