Chapter 190 The Overall Situation (2/2)
The tactics were divided into overt tactics and conspiracy. Zhuge Jiangnan had taught Jiang Wu the overt tactics and had taught Poisonous Fox the conspiracy. No matter where they were, they would be well treated according to their tactics, but they were willing to follow Zhuge Jiangnan. On the one hand, it was because Zhuge Jiangnan was their master. On the other, they were always awed of Zhuge Jiangnan, who could never be seen through.
Zhuge Jiangnan answered, ”That's good. Through the ages, every wise man must find his own master. Although Zhuge Liang had wisdom, he needed Liu Bei. Although Sima Yi had wisdom, he needed Cao Cao.” ”Although Han Xin was wise, he still needed Liu Bang to ascend the altar and receive the appointment of general. Therefore, my wish is to assist Lord Long to unify the underground world of China, will not be a waste of my life's scheme. ”
”But now, although Lord Long has all the people, power and force that he wants, his pride has begun to breed. The greater the power, the more proud he is. Actually, it would've been okay, but he is about to meet Jiang Zihou, a very strong opponent of his, and Xiao Bing, a potential enemy.”
Jiang Wu said, ”Master, I am not very clear. The experts that Master Long has are several times that of Jiang Zihou. The Master Long's strength is even more remarkable. It is difficult to find his match in this world. Even Xiao Bing can definitely not compare with him, and Jiang Zihou is in no way his opponent. In my opinion, if Master Long starts working, it will only take him about half a month to sweep away the underground world of Hei Province. Why do you look on these two people as opponents?”
Zhuge Jiangnan sighed, ”If there is a great disparity, and the leader of the other party is a talent, it's possible to lose. Jiang Zihou controlled Hei Province, and the bosses of the underground world of most cities in Hei Province has already surrendered to him secretly. He conquered so many ambitious people without using force, and this shows great talent.”
”Although Xiao Bing is of no threat to us at present, if he cooperates with Jiang Zihou, it will inevitably make Jiang Zihou more powerful. This will bring about innumerable calamities. Lord Long made a mistake in going to Jiang City privately this time. I won't tell you too much. You can figure it out by yourself with your wisdom. Now go look up someone for me and arrange a meeting for us today.”
Jiang Wu asked, ”Who would you like to meet?”
”Lord Long's younger brother, Long Yan, who is already resentful of him.”
Jiang Wu and Poisonous Fox looked at their master in bewilderment although they did not dare say anything.
Zhuge Jiangnan said with an unfathomable smile, ”Don't worry, just arrange it for me. Poisonous Fox, you arrange this. Jiang Wu, come with me to meet him later.”
They did not dare to ask further but hurriedly agreed. Poisonous Fox quickly drove away from the villa.
While Zhuge Jiangnan was worrying about Xiao Bing and Jiang Zihou, they were already meeting at The Xiaoxiao Noodle House. Jiang Zihou and Xiao Bing sat in a private room at the noodle house, and Miyamoto Xinyi, dressed in white, stood behind Jiang Zihou.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”Master Hou, I didn't expect you to actually come to such a small noodle house.”
Jiang Zihou also smiled, ”As the saying goes, it is not the sport you play, it is the person playing it.” ”Although it is just a small noodle house, in my opinion, it is as good as the Northern Manor, in fact, even better because you are here.”
Xiao Bing's pupils contracted slightly. Jiang Zihou controlled most of the underground forces in Hei Province but still valued him. From this point, Xiao Bing knew that Jiang Zihou was not an easy person to deal with.
Xiao Bing said calmly, ”You flatter me. I am just an owner of a small business. I just want to lead a peaceful life and protect everyone around me.”
Jiang Zihou smiled and said, ”To protect everyone around you. You make it sound so simple, but isn't this the greatest ambition?”
Jiang Zihou smiled again, ”Don't read too much into this. You and I are thorns in Lord Long's side. He will definitely kill us to wrest control of the underground forces of Hei Province. His strength is several times that of mine. Even the Hei Province bosses who surrendered to me are afraid of him. It is extremely hard to escape from him.”
”However, if I can win, I will own not only the underground forces in Hei Province, but also that of the three provinces in the north. If I want to gain people's trust and support, I must keep my promise. I promise you, if I gain control of the three provinces in the north, I will let you take over the underground forces in Hei Province. You have my word. If we succeed, nobody will dare to hurt the people around you.”
Xiao Bing said, ”This had nothing to do with me to begin with, but now that I've been dragged into this, go ahead tell me what you have in mind. Naturally, I will do my best to assist you.”
Jiang Zihou looked at Xiao Bing earnestly and asked, ”You've seen Lord Long. What do you think? Do you have any good strategy to defeat him?”
Xiao Bing thought for a moment. Then a strange smile formed on his face, ”Yes, I have.”
