Chapter 104 Zhu Shiming's Plan
Jing Ping looked up at the dark night like ink. The moon was high and the stars were everywhere. He picked up the body of the white wolf and ran in the direction of Zhu Cheng...
At this time, Zhucheng has become a little shaky. The outside of the city wall is full of blood, and the people of Zhucheng are even more frightened. They have been hiding at home and dare not go out. They always think that someone is going to rebel.
And the general guarding the city also had a bitter face. In the end, he chose not to open the gate. In fact, it was a choice and was also forced.
Just as Jing Ping disappeared, Zhu Shiming directly found the general and had a separate conversation with him kindly and friendly.
"General, haven't you asked for advice yet?" Zhu Shiming asked gently.
"I dare not be called a general, the last general Pan Bai." When he heard Zhu Shiming's question, he immediately smiled bitterly. When it came, he had been guarding Zhu City for so many years. How could the Zhu family not even know his name? When the eldest son asked this, it was nothing more than a conversation.
"It turned out to be General Pan. I've been looking forward to him for a long time." When Zhu Shiming heard the answer, he immediately said politely, and at the same time, he arched his hand and was very friendly.
Pan Bai was immediately shocked when he saw Mr. Zhu's style, but he had been wandering in the court for many years, and his face was still practiced. He immediately panicked and said, "Big son, I dare not do it!"
Zhu Shiming immediately said righteously and awe-inspiringly, "General Pan has been sticking to Zhu City for so many years. There is no merit and hard work. Moreover, under the care of the general, the bandits in the city are gradually lost, and the army is disciplined, which benefits many people in Zhu City. This general is still right."
"If you can get the appreciation of the eldest son, the last general will feel five times." Pan Bai immediately knew that he could not push it any more. If he pushed it again, it would be equivalent to refuting Mr. Zhu's friendship.
He is a general guarding the city. He dares to refute Mr. Zhu's face. Isn't that looking for death?
Pan Baineng, the general who guarded the city, must have some power in the court, but this force is simply far worse than that of the Zhu family. He knows very well how many catties he has, so he must agree with what Mr. Zhu said, but he can't respond carelessly. He just calls the last general to show respect.
But as long as you accept the praise of the eldest son, you must work for the Zhu family.
"General Pan, there are all kinds of bandits outside the city, and the number of people is still increasing. What do you think should be done?" Zhu Shiming asked.
Pan Bai's body trembled when he heard the words, and he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to speak.
At the same time, he scolded in his heart. Is this a bandit? This is obviously the people of the eight major families who come to trouble you, the Zhu family! He also asked me how to deal with it and what I can do. I'm a city guard. What do you want me to do!
When Zhu Shiming saw Pan Bai's hesitation, he suddenly smiled and said gently, "It's my fault. General Pan should have made a plan for a long time. On behalf of all the people in Zhucheng, my Zhu family, expressed our gratitude to the general for rejecting the bandits out of the city, and let me wait for the people to escape from the butcher knife of the bandits and wait for today. Once the trouble is dispersed, our Zhu family will definitely go to the general's mansion to visit. At that time, please don't refuse.
As soon as this sentence came out, Pan Bai felt that he was soaked all over.
He immediately understood the multiple meanings of Mr. Zhu's words, which was clearly to remind him that you were already standing on my boat!
When the eight families first came, he did not dare to open the door. In fact, he had already made a choice. If the gate was opened at that time, the eight families would not have any hatred for him, but he hesitated and did not open the door, which directly made the people of the eight families feel resentful for themselves. The future will not be much better, not to mention that he can't open the door. He dares to be sure that if he has the idea of opening the city gate, or if he really does, he will be the first one to kill the Zhu family! And his whole family! Now he is put on his neck with a knife. He can't be vague at all. He can't answer well. I'm afraid that the smiling big man in front of him will immediately turn his face.
He still has a family, and he is also full of attachment to life.
This also means that you have to be honest and obedient. When the Zhu family finishes dealing with this matter, you will have your benefits.
Thinking of all this, Pan Bai immediately made up his mind and said with a serious face, "The eldest son is right. There are all kinds of bandits outside the city. It is reasonable to kill them. Mr. Zhu will wait for me to dispatch people and slaughter these bandits later!"
Hearing this, Zhu Shiming immediately arched his hand at Pan Bai and said, "Then there is General Pan!" On behalf of the people of the whole city, I am very grateful!"
"I dare not!" Pan Bai immediately returned the gift. Seeing this, Zhu Shiming patted him on the shoulder and turned around and left.
At this moment, Zhu Shiming was relieved. This general who guarded the city was finally a sensible person and knew his situation.
Although this ploping general doesn't look good, the Zhu family is now relying on this general!
Although his Zhu family is powerful, the eight opposite families are not small. If this really has the idea of opening the gate, Zhu Shiming will immediately solve this person, but as soon as he has solved this person, his nature will immediately change.
Because in case this person is solved, it is equivalent to killing the generals of the imperial court. Although the Zhu family is huge in power, it is still a commoner in name. If the Zhu family kills this person, it will have violated the national law. What's more, the current emperor has been wary of his Zhu family. Although this matter is easy to do, it is easy to hide. Cover, you can fool it by making up any reason, but the paper can never wrap the fire. Sooner or later, it will reach the emperor's ears. At that time, the enemies facing the Zhu family will not only be these eight families, but also the royal family!
To put it simply, if you really kill this general, you may not be able to defend Zhucheng. Even if you can defend Zhucheng, it will be listed as an important threat by the royal family!
And this bandit is different!
The people of these eight families are now afraid to admit which family they are from. If they identify themselves, they can let them in, but as soon as these people come in, they can't take action against the Zhu family, because there is no innate in their family, and there are three royal families. If it was not at all in the past. With scruples, but now, they are no longer qualified to be arrogant, and they can only pretend to be passers-by.
Zhu Shiming grasped this point and directly characterized their group as bandits!
In this way, the Zhu family occupied the name of righteousness and did not offend the royal family at all. What did it mean to force Pan Bai to send troops? It was for this. It happened that Pan Bai sent troops to destroy the bandits and said it was to destroy them. In fact, it was just to drive them away. If these people were crazy and even killed the soldiers, then the Zhu family not only showed that they were loyal to the royal family. The loyalty has completely pushed these eight families to the opposite of the royal family.
This is the only feasible way Zhu Shiming racked his brain to come up after Jing Ping left. Although everything he did was so ridiculous in front of immortals, this was the only vitality of his Zhu family. He could only grasp it firmly and could not give up like this.
The big family is the big family, and the big son is the big son. This plan not only includes sowing discord, but also includes expelling tigers and swallowing wolves and connecting vertically and horizontally!
This has fully reflected Zhu Shiming's mind and city government. If Jing Ping is here, he will definitely clap his hands for Zhu Shiming's plan!
Because even if Jing Ping is in Zhu Shiming's position, he can only do this.
The subsequent development was expected by Zhu Shiming. As soon as a group of troops in the city came out of the gate, they were killed by the eight families in an instant.
These eight people had no scruples at first. After killing the army, they shouted one after another to destroy your Zhu family.
Although it was Zhu Shiming's expectation, it was inevitable to make him feel cold.
It seems that what Jing Ping said is right. These eight immortals are indeed their arrogant fulcrus!
Throughout the afternoon, led by the Zhu family, Wu and Xie, these more than 20 small and medium-sized families also began to transfer "bandits" one after another, because at this time they knew that now they were in the same boat, and no one could get off.
In just one afternoon, each of their families suffered heavy casualties, especially the Zhu family, which can be said to have taken out all their family assets, and the "bandits" opposite also left hundreds of corpses. Among this "bandits", there are many internal masters, and there are 500 masters above the tenth floor of the body during the body period alone, and in terms of quality. He can also compare with the Zhu family, but he is a family. How can he compare with the aggregation of the upper eight families?
