Chapter 104 The Golden Cone Walk (15)

After the whole army crossed the Huan River, Zhang Xing felt a little helpless.

Because he knows that from his own point of view, his strategy has been completely successful. Even if there are any problems, it is not his responsibility. I have done everything that can be done, even if it may not be possible, I try my best to think about doing it in the future.

Maybe there will still be blood flowing into rivers today, maybe there will still be many innocent people killed and injured after this turmoil, maybe the final result will still cause other wrong butterfly effects in the court... But all of this is like this strategy It is the same as the second half of the previous one, and it cannot be said that it is Zhang Xing's responsibility anymore.

He, Zhang Sanlang, has tried his best to propose the optimal solution, put it into action, and completed his own part excellently.

According to the agreement, as long as Zhang Xing used the golden cone to lure the bandits out of Mangdang Mountain in advance and crossed the river, the rest would be up to Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi.

It had nothing to do with him, Zhang Baishou, how these two gods who were born in great powers forced Chen Ling to send troops, how they protected the fleet passing through this area, and how they ended up in the end.

Of course, Zhang Xing was a little selfish, but the desire for performance of others was a bit too much.

After passing through Huanshui, the brigade directly occupied Jishan, and the head of Xu was naturally the one who bore the brunt. The poor Xu had been in Jishan for many years. Keeping some basic core members and a title of head of the family-of course, this is also because everyone is anxious to "do business" and is unwilling to make extra troubles.

However, since it comes to tomorrow's business, everyone can't help but continue to fight for it.It must be known that by this time, those who have connections and those who have no connections, the masters already know that the Longgang garrison is their own family.

How do you say that?

This trip is like picking something out of a bag.

Dare to ask who doesn't want to grab more and share more?
The only thing is, the bosses are all elites among the so-called bandits and thieves, and they always know that robbery still needs to be done neatly. The rider pushed the car into the eddy water hard, so what's the matter?

So they quarreled for a long time, and finally decided on a strategy to outflank Tunyuan, and Zhang Xing and Du Pozhen calmly took the job of the left wing going around and outflanking.

However, it’s not over yet, because we still need to discuss the matter of profit distribution after the war, but when it comes to distribution... Don’t forget, Mr. Zhang once said to Du Pozhen that the most difficult thing in the world is the word "fen" up.

Ever since, after hastily allocating troops for tomorrow's "doing business", the small gathering hall on Jishan Mountain was almost full of noise.

Boss Zhou's momentum is different now, especially after the annexation of Jishan, he has a lot of ideas. He seems to want to snatch back the "Gui Gong" first and then unify the points. There are a little more "returning to the public"... Obviously, Mr. Zhou Yi is going to pull the younger ones to fight the older ones, and the little chiefs immediately understood.

However, Boss Lou and the other leaders of the Eastern border gangsters only called for a fair distribution of soldiers and horses... This is of course understandable, because despite the fact that the Eastern border gangsters have the least number of people, it seems that they should be more in favor of Boss Zhou’s plan. But after all, they are out-of-town gangsters who slipped over from the east, and they want to take the money and leave immediately, and they are even more afraid of being annexed and not being given anything.

At the same time, Boss Zhao and Boss Wang just sneered, and then put on a look that I don't understand what you are saying, but they are actually trying to figure out who will get it.

There is no way, why do the little chiefs want to attach themselves to Boss Zhou, and the gangsters in the east border want to attach themselves to Boss Lou?Isn't it because people like King Zhao exist?
"Black-hearted, bullying others, wanting to have a structure without a structure, and wanting to have no courage...Compared with Zhou and Lou, you old Wang and Lao Zhao are simply two heavens and two underground! Success is more than failure. Why do you have the face to sit here?"

That's right, these are the original words of Mr. Zhang, and he took the case.

It doesn't matter if you don't get up, Zhang Xing was so dizzy by these people that he wanted to sleep early, but as a bandit leader, how could he just leave while discussing the distribution plan?Just leave without arguing, it's a huge flaw, okay?

So, when Lao Han pushed Mr. Zhang to come out and say a few words, he was determined to stand on the last post without hesitation and got up and fired at Wang and Zhao.

And as soon as it was released, it immediately suppressed most of the Juyi Hall.

"Master Zhang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Boss Wang responded with a cold smile. "How to slander us for nothing?"

"Am I slandering?" Zhang Xing was furious. "What are you and Lao Wang? You don't know yourself? You risk your life for small gains, and you sacrifice your life for great things! When others are working hard to set up a platform, you just look on coldly, trying to dodge and try to dodge. After setting up a platform, you think about it. Others kicked aside! Although Boss Zhou and Boss Lou have different divisions, they are just a difference in plan. After all, everyone is considered, only you two, relying on your own power to cultivate yourself, and only want to eat more and earn more. I don’t care about any other brothers at all! I, Zhang San, traveled all over the world, but I have never seen such a brazen person! Today, I actually saw two people at once.”

"Master Zhang, are you shameless?" Boss Zhao, who is now known as Zhao Xingchuan, just listened coldly at first, but at the end, he suddenly broke out and threw the wine glass, He directly supported the saber and stepped on the table, and then pointed to Zhang Xing on the opposite side with one hand. "What qualifications and status do you have, come to talk about me and Lao Wang?"

"Does Mr. Zhang have the right to speak? Is it your turn to speak, Wang?" Du Pozhen, who was sitting next to Zhang Xing, did not hesitate, and immediately pushed away the table in front of him. "Boss Zhou's plan is not recognized by both of you, and Boss Lou's plan is not recognized by both of you... Do you really think everyone doesn't know what you two are thinking? They are both businessmen for many years, who doesn't understand?"

"Zhao Xingchuan!" Zhang Xing glanced at the bearded and expressionless Zhou Yi and the expressionless Lou Huan, and he stepped on the desks in front of him calmly, and then calmly raised his knife to look across. "Everyone has something to talk about, and you suddenly exploded, what does it mean to press the knife first in front of the bosses? Do you want to fight? Who is the fire? Who is afraid of you? And you think it will be your turn to compare the knife here? What's the matter?"

Boss Zhao was furious, his true energy radiated, and he wanted to really draw out his saber, but unexpectedly, the next moment, his hand holding the saber was firmly held down by a person beside him—it turned out to be from the same position as last night Boss Wang.

Zhao Xingchuan knew something was wrong, so he quickly followed the other person's eyes, only to find that most of the bosses present were just staring at him, not Zhang Laosan opposite, but the two real bosses Zhou Yi and Lou Huan He just squinted his eyes to look at himself, knowing that after all, it was because of his ugly appearance, which aroused public anger, and his arrogance disappeared for a few layers in an instant, and then he sat down bitterly.

When Boss Wang saw Zhao Xingchuan's understanding, he bowed his hands with a stern face: "Mr. Zhang... We definitely have no intention of ruining everyone's business, but Boss Zhou and Boss Lou insisted on their own opinions. We don't know what to do... "

"Bah!" Zhang Xing slammed and interrupted the other party on the spot. "Don't talk nonsense that sows discord, you just say what distribution plan the two of you have...Everyone hold your breath and listen to it now, and judge in public!"

"I……"

"Is there any?!" Zhang Xing interrupted the other party again.snapped. "If you don't, just treat it as the two of you abstaining, and listen to what the public has to say! If you have one, let it go!"

Under the attention of all the bosses, Wang and Zhao looked at each other for a while at the banquet, but it was impossible for them to say in public such nonsense as who snatched it and who would get it. He was scolded for no reason.

"No." Boss Wang, who was wary of rats, swallowed forcefully. "Now I just want to hear Mr. Zhang's strategy...Does Mr. Zhang have any?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xing threw away the knife without hesitation, walked to the center of the hall, bowed first to Zhou Yi, then to Lou Huan, then bowed his hands together, and then said:
"Bosses, Boss Zhou said something earlier, saying that he can speak freely today... But with all due respect, the business will be done tomorrow. If everyone has a plan in their minds and each has their own ghosts, the business will be done tomorrow. It's also going to be a mess, throwing gold beads for nothing... So, I have to ask Boss Zhou for an idea at the end, and I'm just saying."

"Master Zhang is an honest man, he can deal with it!" Du Pozhen, who was the poorest in the seat, took advantage of the situation and shouted. "It doesn't hurt to listen to what he has to say."

But Zhang Xing paused, and could only smile wryly: "Actually, Boss Zhou and Boss Lou both have words, and they both have a fair heart. Get rid of the mess, make another peace, and settle this matter early... I mean, please ask Boss Zhou and Boss Lou to make a discount... For example, I agree with the collection, but don't charge too much. [-]% of it will be placed in the Dangshan Great Juyi Hall, but the families in the East Realm are far away after all, and they still want to go back to celebrate the New Year, but the remaining [-] to [-]% should be distributed to their families as soon as possible according to their heads. , Let them go back to the East for a year, and then come back to discuss the ownership of the public."

There was silence in the hall for a while, this was a way of making peace, and Zhang Laosan was so polite, who can say whether it is good or not?

"I agree." When the two bosses were still rubbing their beards and touching their stomachs, Du Pozhen was the first to agree.

Everyone knows that Du Pozhen is Zhang Sanye's old friend, but they have nothing to say.

But after Du Pozhen said so, several Eastern border gangsters thought about the little care in Zhang Xing's words, and nodded one after another. Seeing this, Boss Lou finally nodded too.

Now, everyone looked at Zhou Yi together.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yi also sighed: "I'm doing it for everyone's benefit, but who knows that everyone doesn't see the big picture... So let's do this, [-]%, [-]% is the common number, I can't say it anymore... The key is that no one can do it. I don't know if General Chen in Longgang or Second Master Zuo in Huanshuikou will come to speak, but I will have to deal with it when the time comes."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. After all, Boss Han took the lead in agreeing and agreed to this matter half-heartedly.

It was noisy and chaotic all night, and the next morning, everyone got up energetically, and then gathered for dinner... And as soon as breakfast was eaten, the elite sentinels who had been scattered before reported back one after another, saying that they were on the other side of Chengfu City, dozens of miles away. The Longgang Army Village was silent, and they pretended not to see everyone at all, but the transport team that was marching from the southeast to the northwest to Longgang suddenly increased its speed, and several sentinels got close, and they were all caught by the Jinyi Patrollers The masters personally dispatched to intercept and kill, as if they had noticed something.

Everyone cheered up, and at the same time became a little anxious.

Only Lao Han was a little uneasy at this moment, and he was talking nonsense that Longgang should reply to the letter, but no one listened to it... Zhou Yizhou boss stopped putting on airs, and immediately ordered the whole army to send troops quickly Going southwest is to cross the Longgang barracks to intercept.

The winter is dry and cold, and five or six thousand troops are dispatched in the Central Plains. The smoke and dust are billowing like tides and water, and it is unstoppable.

The instigator Zhang Xingzhang Baishou was a fine-robed horse with a scimitar and a cloak, and he had no troubles in his heart. He just supervised the two or three hundred "elites" of the headquarters to move forward on the left wing, which is the southeast side of the army formation.

Qin Er followed beside him, wanting to speak a few times, but remained silent.

Even Du Pozhen didn't have much to say at this time, he just led two or three hundred people in his headquarters and followed closely behind the army under Zhang Zida's banner.

When the march reached noon, the situation suddenly changed subtly—it is said that all the masters of the Jinyi Patrollers came out and began to kill the "rebel" sentry cavalry with all their strength, and none of the sentry cavalry turned back in a short period of time.

In other words, the Rebels lost their vision.

But it doesn't matter, the general position of the convoy has been figured out before, and it is right in front, as long as it is passed by the two wings at this time... In Boss Zhou's original words, unless those Jinyi dogs can move the car from two to three hundred steps wide Driving over the vortex with thin ice on it, otherwise the convoy would be a turtle in a urn!

Zhang Xing deeply thought so.

Then immediately according to the military order, the headquarters was urged to accelerate to the southeast, so as to undertake the original task of deepening the flanks and outflanking.

But I don't know why, Mr. Zhang's outflanking is a bit to the southeast. A few delicate ones, I want to ask again and again, but I find that even Du Pozhen and Du Dazhang are speechless. They just follow, but they have nothing to say .

In this way, we drove a full seven or eight miles to the southeast. Everyone was out of breath, but in the end they saw the vortex in the distance.However, Mr. Zhang did not order to turn his head against the vortex to meet the northwest direction, but instead stopped the whole army on the spot.

Du Pozhen also stopped, and the two teams rested together.

Immediately, everyone could see clearly that Boss Zhang, Boss Du, Second Master Qin, and Master Fu gathered together, but they just stood on a small slope immediately, looking at each other silently.After a while, Cook Fan tidied up the team, and walked up the slope panting and shaking his fat, ready to participate.

But at this time, suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing from the northwest, causing the five people and countless subordinate gangsters to look up.

Cook Fan was stunned, and said first: "Four masters, should we go there? It's late, I'm afraid we won't be able to grab it?"

Du Pozhen and Fu Boshi looked at each other without saying a word, Zhang Xing and Qin Bao looked at each other and didn't say a word, only Zhang Xing shook his head slightly.

Cook Fan had no choice but to wait with the four of them.

But after waiting for a while, he heard the movement getting louder and louder, and it lasted for a long time, but he finally realized: "I know, there are still really powerful people in the Jinyi patrol team of Jingantai, after all, it's a hard bone over there, go If you are too early, you will be sent to death... Zhang Sange came from Jing'antai Gongmen, and he knows the inside story, so that the brothers can avoid casualties! Now you can send troops, go find the leak!"

Zhang Xing still didn't say anything, but sighed.

Cook Fan turned pale, and could only stand in front of the four horses with his hands folded.

Sure enough, another quarter of an hour passed, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and there was an momentum of pushing from the northwest along the Guohe River. Cook Fan was completely uneasy, but he could only try to strengthen his courage to look at Zhang Xing.

But Zhang Xing looked at the streamer flashing on the billowing smoke and dust in the north, and even the people who were fleeing could be seen faintly, but he didn't hesitate any longer, and turned his head to look at Du Pozhen: "Brother Du... Chen Ling is a cunning, if He knows I'm here, so he might be able to eat one or the other, even if the second dragon of the Sima family has warnings and words, he is not safe... You turn around now, leave immediately, don't go back to Huan Shui, that's too bad It’s not safe, go directly down the vortex, take your people, and let the people in Xianren Cave follow them. If you see some useful ones, take them if you can. If you can’t take them, throw them halfway. The number of routes... I will send the money as soon as possible, and the person will come back as soon as possible after the year."

Du Pozhen nodded, turned directly with Fu Boshi and went downhill, urging the headquarters to head towards Weishui immediately.

At this time, Zhang Xingfang and Qin Bao looked at the fat chef who took a few steps back.

The latter was sweating profusely and shook his head again and again: "So this is the brother surnamed Chen who is not authentic and wants to eat Mangdang Mountain, isn't he? Mr. Zhang, although you know it, it must be Uncle Zuo's person, and both If you are the boss, you should protect your brother."

"Third brother has already protected the most innocent people, it's just more than you think." Qin Bao suddenly spoke first with an iron gun in his hand. "Cook Fan, let's not hide it from you. Chen Ling and the Zuo brothers are also part of the third brother's strategy. We were originally members of the Jing'an Taiwan patrol team, and we came here to keep the fleet... nothing else."

After finishing speaking, Qin Bao directly reined in his horse and passed Cook Fan, screaming repeatedly, but to scold the bandits in the Immortal Cave and let them run away with Boss Du.

The movement in the distance could no longer be concealed from people. At this time, Qin Bao yelled, and Du Pozhen really led the crowd towards the vortex. They were terrified for a while, and almost collapsed. Some of them chose to follow, and some of them followed. They chose to flee, and a few people actually chose to stay where they were to see Zhang Xing and Qin Bao.

But Qin Bao just brandished an iron gun to drive them away. One of them, the Xuzhou soldier, seemed to have sensed something and asked sharply, but Qin Bao killed him with a single shot.

Seeing this scene, Cook Fan lost his voice completely and could only stand speechless.

And Zhang Xing finally said immediately: "Da Fan...there are too many people, and I have tried my best, and I can only let these people live their lives at this time...It is you, after all, we have met for a long time. , if you have the heart, I can guarantee you to go to Dongdu to seek a living."

Cook Fan looked back at the smoke and dust that was getting closer in the direction of the fighting sound, then looked back at Zhang Xing, stared at it for a while, took a few breaths, and shook his head:
"You also said that officials and bandits are divided into two parts. Since you are an official, I am just a bandit. How can you go the same way?"

As he said that, he staggered and ran down the small slope under Zhang Xing's gaze. He jumped over Qin Erlang, who was still stained with blood on the tip of his gun, and greeted the last few stubborn people, and fled to the southeast with him... Qin Er turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xing, but just ignored it, and turned back to the slope.

A mere four or five hundred bandits who escaped from the formation dispersed easily, so Zhang Xing untied his cloak, stood on the slope with Qin Bao, and continued to watch the battle.By this time, although the specific battle situation could not be clearly seen, the outcome of the battle was clearly over, because in the field of vision, there were already armored and sharp Wei sergeants, as well as a small number of well-informed bandits, who also abandoned the northeast direction. The way and the army formation, flee here.

Most people passing by here only called Chen Ling treacherous, and they didn't know who called it first, but Zhang Qin and Zhang Qin just stood still.

Until they saw Yiqi approaching in embarrassment from a distance, and the person on the horse was wearing a red cloak, it was none other than Zhao Xingchuan who took the lead in crossing the Huan River yesterday.

"This is a person who has connected two small veins of the strange meridian, can we keep him?" Zhang Xing first asked Qin Bao.

Qin Bao nodded: "I think it's okay!"

Zhang Xing thought for a while, but laughed: "Leave him for a while, but let him go!"

Qin Bao immediately nodded knowingly.

As he said that, Zhang Baishou rode up to meet him, and then asked from a distance, "Boss Zhao... what's going on in front?"

"Lao Zhang, I haven't asked you yet!" Zhao Xingchuan became angry when he saw the two of them. "The good news you spread... Do you know that Longgang Chen Ling is cheating to eat us!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xing continued to lift his horse forward with a serious face. "If this is the case, the three masters of the Zuo family will not let it go. My golden cone can't be faked."

"Bullshit gold cone..." Zhao Xingchuan was about to scold again, but suddenly saw a person behind him holding up a big iron gun. There were still blood stains on the iron gun, but he woke up instantly, completely enlightened, and then immediately turned back to the east, embarrassed Lean over to dodge.

After avoiding crossing the horse, looking back, his eyes were tearing apart for a moment, but he didn't dare to fight, so he could only clamp the horse's belly and run away - it seemed that he hated Chen Ling's trick to the extreme in his heart.

Zhang Qin and Zhang Qin didn't bother to chase, because at this moment, a stream of light flashed from the direction of the battlefield, and landed directly on the small slope—the man came with a golden helmet and a long halberd, but it was Sima Zheng who came over in person. .

"Zhang Sanlang."

Sima Zheng just arrived, his armor was neat and tidy, but when he calmly crossed his halberd, a little blood was thrown from the halberd. "What a brilliant strategy, today's matter, you deserve the greatest credit."

Zhang Xing knew the other party's temper, so he didn't get off the horse, and directly bowed back: "Is Sima Changjian here specifically to find me?"

"Of course." Sima Zheng laughed. "Your family inspector has something to say with me. If you make a mistake, I will have to pay for my life. How dare you not come? But Zhang Sanlang, how can he become the leader in a few days? I killed Zhou Yi's Chinese army and couldn't find him." Seeing you, I was terrified in my heart, and cut off the head of another surnamed Lou, only to find out where you are."

Zhang Xing didn't say anything, he just felt tired now.

However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help asking: "I'm fine. If Sima Changjian has the heart, why not go back and take care of Chen Ling... This person is really dishonest."

Sima Zheng thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you mean by not being honest at this time? Are you afraid that he will intentionally commit crimes to silence you, or are you afraid that he will deliberately indulge and still leave trouble for the fleet?"

"All of them." Zhang Xing said one thing at a time.

"Then how about this?" Sima Zheng thought for a while before replying. "I'll change people back to take care of you two. It's not to guard against bandits, but to guard against Chen Ling... Then I will go back and supervise Chen Ling. Once he finishes sweeping the main battlefield, I will force him to send troops to Jishan immediately. Before tonight, you must Spread all three thousand soldiers on the edge of the Huan River... In this way, the old, weak and innocent can be freed, and the thieves will not dare to harass the fleet."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing finally got off his horse and bowed his hands solemnly: "Sima Changjian is upright and upright, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Sima Zheng nodded, and a stream of light shot up from the ground, and below him, the vortex that had not changed for thousands of years and the land of the Central Plains, smoke and dust billowed, and three thousand warriors lined up neatly, laying down from the upper reaches of the vortex, It's like being crushed, overwhelming.But Zhang Xing didn't know why, he didn't care about such a strong look, but just turned his head to the southeast to look back frequently.

PS: On the third day of the first lunar month... continue to wish everyone a good night.
