Chapter 225
225 Chapter 8: The Fate ([-])
As the largest hill left behind by the Dragon Clan on the western front, Xu Shiying's statement to Jiyin County set off a wave of similar actions.Next, Niu Da, who didn't know whether it was a stubborn character or belatedly, the chief and deputy stewards of each county, including some so-called guardians and deacons who were recruited later, came to see him one after another to express their loyalty.
Speaking from his conscience and head, Zhang Xing actually knew very well that this kind of statement is actually useless... When it comes to the time when the army is overwhelming the situation, when it is really in such an extraordinary environment and encounters extraordinary troubles, the sincerity of these people can reveal.
Even, in this round of so-called statements, there have been obvious perfunctory and performances, which belong to the kind of people who want to laugh at the scene, just like officialdom.
But you still can't say that people are perfunctory and acting, because no one knows whether they will persist in the future.
This in turn seems to verify the invalidity of this statement.
But in the end, things will come back again.Because at this moment, as the supreme commander of the Western Front, as the first person to understand and recognize the whole situation, the pressure on Zhang Xing is also unprecedented... He has to admit that this vulgar and ridiculous political statement , or simply the feudal personal allegiance he hated the most, at this time it played a strong psychological comforting effect on him personally.
He has already adapted to killing and bloodshed, and the "experience" of rebellion seems to be ahead of the entire era, but as a superior, facing the upcoming fierce conflict and the expected low tide of "revolution", just one thought will make thousands When tens of thousands of people live or tens of thousands of people die, especially when there is military pressure for the first time as the chief general leading the army to fight against, it is undoubtedly the first feeling in another way.
But soon, things reversed.
Because next, from the end of March to the beginning of April, with the vanguard of the Xuzhou army, the official army officially began to appear in everyone's field of vision... Thousands of soldiers holding the big flag of Mazi went directly from east to west, Arrived in Huanshui, and after a short rest, quickly headed north and entered Dang County.
At this time, the internal servants made a behavior that was not mentioned in the alliance before, but it still aroused everyone's sensitive reaction - they chose to abandon Dang County due to insufficient troops, and shrank to their old nest Xiayi.
This directly led to Ma Hu occupying Dang County without bloodshed on the fifth day of April.
The behavior of the internal servants is very sensitive, and the location of Dang County is also very sensitive, because this is the intersection of the four counties and the intersection of all forces. It seems that everyone has to face the situation that the war is burning to the door.
Facts have proved that at this time, some people are worse than Zhang Xing before... No matter what Zhang Xing is, he has a score in his heart, and he still knows to sit still on the surface and stick to the original strategy, and these people can always Make some flowers.
For example, when he just came back from Hebei, with a heroic attitude, he expressed his support for Chief Wei, who is the leader of Zhang Dalong.
After Ma Hu entered Dang County, he quickly proposed a large-scale retreat, directly abandoning the entire Jiyin, and immediately recalling the troops in Yuncheng, preparing to rely on the big river to survive.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Xing rejected him immediately, and told the other party earnestly, that fleeing aggressively would only reveal flaws, attract the enemy's attention to the pursuers, and lead to faster defeat. At this time, one must proceed step by step and resist layer by layer.
To put it bluntly, it was a retreat, so you have to hold on to your appearance and see if you can fool people.
Just as the courier was sent away here, there was another moth in Chuqiu Mengshan. He probably realized the weakness of people like Zhang Xing and Taoist Wei, so he directly contacted Xu Shiying and Niu Da in private, and proposed to send troops first. Everyone concentrates their forces, and here in Dang County, they eat up this vanguard and try to win the first place.
Of course, Xu Shiying is undoubtedly half-reliable in the military. He sent a letter to Zhang Xing and replied to Meng Sangong, pointing out that Ma Hu, as a vanguard, has the nature of bait from a military point of view. If Han Yingong was used as bait, if he couldn't eat it quickly, he would be flanked and surrounded.
It is necessary to scout out Han Yingong's location and layout before he can formulate a similar military plan.
However, things cannot stop.
At this time, even within the Dragon Clan, few people have strategic focus anymore. Zhang Xing's self-righteous magic weapon is to hold a meeting, which is completely useless, because every time there are more than five people in the discussion, they will basically break out and run away. Arguing with the decisive battle, and repeating the original plan to stick to it, also sounds like some kind of cliché.
As a result, Zhang Dalongtou finally couldn't sit still anymore, he decided to go to the enemy camp to conduct reconnaissance in person.
In this era, if you want to conduct accurate military reconnaissance, especially if the superiors want to obtain accurate and true information, there is probably nothing more direct than going to the front of the battle to take a look in person.
Of course, it’s not about reconnaissance Ma Hu, Ma Hu is just a knife, a vanguard and a decoy, and what he wants to investigate is Han Yingong. According to the private notification of the Huaiyou League, the latter has stopped at Bianshui in Xiao County, Xuzhou, southeast of Dang County It's been a few days.
"Is Zhang Longtou really going?"
At dawn, the sky was still only dim, and on the road outside the county seat of Jinxiang County, the most southeastern part of Jiyin County, Taoist Wei who came out to see him off turned pale, and couldn't help persuading him one last time. "Han Yingong is a famous general in the imperial court. His cultivation level is condensed. Fifteen thousand people are all warriors recruited by the Fifth Army in the Eastern Capital. They are not comparable to ordinary soldiers..."
"That's why I went to see it."
Zhang Xing, who had changed into ordinary clothes, responded frankly. "Is it a real elite or a fake, is it Han Yingong or Sima Zheng, is he using Ma Hu as a bait or marching step by step? Take a look, and you will know it in your heart, so you don't have to guess here, which is futile."
Taoist Wei nodded and said no more.
Zhang Xingye and Jia Yue, just two people, were ready to go south.
But at this moment, Daoist Wei suddenly couldn't help but said in the middle of the road: "Zhang Long's head and stop."
Zhang Xing turned around in surprise.
"What if you don't come back?" Wei Xuanding asked earnestly.
Zhang Xing was slightly taken aback, and wanted to comfort him again, but then suddenly came to his senses, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "If I can't come back, I will naturally go to talk to Li Gong...but before that, let Xu Shiying come to Ji Yin sits in the township, and you still have to rely on them for military matters...Old Wei, when the time comes, you have to think about danger and retreat."
Chief Wei nodded again.
And Zhang Xing was ready to set off again.
But this time, the horse took two steps, and Taoist Wei stopped the opponent for the third time: "Zhang Longtou!"
"What?" Zhang Xing was completely out of temper, even Jia Yue was speechless.
"I'll go with you." Wei Xuanding summoned up his courage and said through gritted teeth. "Since I have become the chief, can I still escape? Let's go together."
Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to promise, but after thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "Old Wei, in the past six months after the incident, all the quagmire in you has disappeared, and you seem to be a rich scholar, which is easy to see... ...Besides, Chief Jia and I both have the ability to protect ourselves, and you are still far behind."
Daoist Wei nodded with relief, and said nothing more.
Zhang Xing and others finally set off.
From Jinxiang to Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou, the distance is about [-] miles, whether it is long or short, but it is this distance that aroused Wei Xuanding's fear, and it is also this distance that aroused Zhang Xing's urge to come and take a look. , because they were all afraid that Han Yingong would use Ma Hu as a bait, and then suddenly lead the main force northward, from Jinxiang to attack Jiyin County City.
In this way, two people, six horses, all good players, crossed the prefectures and counties in just two days and nights, and arrived at the destination directly.
But as soon as he arrived at the Bian River outside Xiaoxian County, he hadn't seen the Huai Youmeng who came to greet him, but just glanced at the huge military camp, and the biggest stone in Zhang Xing's heart fell to the ground.
There is no other reason. The main camp of the official army is on the south bank of Bianshui... This is the natural path after coming out of Xuzhou City, which is also on the south bank of Bianshui, but it is this detail that shows that the official army did not directly raid from Jinxiang The meaning of Jiyin.
At least not at this time.
Because it is now summer, the tributaries of the Huaihe River Basin have begun to rise slowly, and an army of over ten thousand cannot suddenly cross the river.
Surprise attack is not established from the basic conditions.
It can only be said that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Even before Du Pozhen sent people to emphasize that it was the Huaiyou League that undertook the transfer of supplies along the Huaishui-Huanshui River. They knew that Han Yingong must be He wanted to follow Ma Hu's ass and march on the western front, but what he saw with his own eyes at this time made Zhang Xing make his final judgment.
Crossing the Bian River did not cause any notice, because there were constant exchanges between the official army camp and the county seat, soldiers, civilian husbands, and officials were everywhere, and a considerable part of the civilian husbands here were organized by the Huaiyou League... Zhang Xing He and Jia Yue didn't look awkward in this scene, including the meeting with Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan who had made an appointment in advance, which was almost aboveboard.
After rendezvous, they even found an abandoned tea shed on the riverside road, sat there and looked at it carefully.
"It's indeed the foundation of the Fifth Army and the Guanlong Army." Zhang Xing watched for half a day in the empty shed, which was not yet dilapidated, and came to a meaningless conclusion. "Single-drawn is the best source of soldiers, and the numbers are accurate, [-] soldiers..."
"The soldiers are really strong, but they just don't do personnel affairs." Maybe because he left his father, Ma Ping'er seemed outspoken. "It's said that it's okay here, but Dalongtou doesn't know that Ma Hu's five thousand soldiers walked through Qiao County once, and seven or eight villages disappeared... One of our helmsmen went to Ma Hu and said that these villages were all The place where our Huaiyou League civilian husband lived was robbed and burned, and no one transported food. In the end, he was also killed, and his head was hung on the flagpole... For this matter, several halls in the Northwest of Huaihe almost used knives. Before the two of us came, the leader and the deputy leader could only persuade each other, but the people below said that this time they might not be able to persuade them."
Wang Xiongdan couldn't help coughing dryly, and he didn't know whether he felt embarrassed or felt that Ma Ping'er had talked too much.
Zhang Xing has been staring at Han Yingong since Ma Hu entered Dangshan, and he really doesn't know what Ma Hu is doing.But thinking about it, like Zhang Xuguo of Qi County who dared to take the initiative to release food to save people, after all, it is a minority, and a general Zhonglang, a middle-level military leader in Guanlong, is cruel. What can't be expected?
"I really expected that the officers and soldiers would come to save the people from fire and water, so why did I rebel that day?" Zhang Xing came back to his senses, sighed at the right time, and then looked around. "It's said that it's okay here, and how good it is, do you have an explanation?"
The two Ma and Wang were silent for a while, after all, everyone has a ruler in their hearts about whether military discipline is good or bad, and it is difficult to judge what is good and what is bad.
Especially in this year, the army crosses the border like locusts. This is the so-called good military discipline, and even the royal march in the core area of Guanlong that day is indispensable to the legend of the Maoren.
This is also one of the reasons why the tea shed in front of me can't explain any problems.
Ordinary people would throw away their property next to the barracks or even the fields and flee from their homes, regardless of whether the opponent was an official or a bandit.
"Anyway, the management of the military camp is very strict, and only 500 people are allowed to go to the city every day." After a while, Ma Ping'er still tried to answer.
"That's really good. Is there any resentment in the army?" Zhang Xing was startled before continuing to ask.
"There must be." Wang Xiongdan answered. "In private, it is said that Han Yingong leads people to the city every day and does not come back all day and all night, but makes the soldiers suffer..."
Zhang Xing was taken aback again: "Han Yingong is not in the camp on weekdays?"
"Not here."
"In the county town of Xiao County on the other side of the river." Wang Ma and Wang Ma replied quickly.
"What is he doing there?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"I don't know." Wang Xiongsheng shook his head. "We just came here two days earlier according to Uncle Zhang's intention. We probably heard from the local gang members that the army came here for four or five days, but Han Yingong was mostly in the city."
Zhang Xing thought for a while: "In just these two days, how long has he been in the barracks and in the city?"
"There are only two hours in the barracks. I came here yesterday afternoon to deal with something, and the rest are in the city." Ma Ping'er couldn't wait to provide details.
Zhang Xing was thoughtful, and then continued to ask: "Is he in the city now?"
"Yes." Wang Xiongsheng nodded immediately.
"Da Longtou, is there something wrong?" Ma Ping'er also asked.
"It doesn't look like you're here for a war, at least it doesn't mean calling for a war." Zhang Xing shook his head in response. "Whether the main general went to the city, or the soldiers in the battalion took turns leaving the camp and entering the city, it felt like they were staying permanently. Even looking inside and outside the barracks, they were not very nervous... But I don't understand why he stopped here often. I can only have a guess."
"Is there no way to verify it?" Wang Xiongdan looked naughty, but he was a little more careful, and seemed to understand Zhang Xing's meaning.
"It seems a bit risky." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "In the past, I had absolutely no such worries, so I went straight away. Now that I have become a leader and managed one or two counties, I can't help feeling a little greedy for life and afraid of death..."
Wang Xiongdan laughed dryly for a while: "What kind of covetous life and fear of death is this... Uncle Zhang is a big shot, and he has involved many relationships."
"Forget it." Zhang Xing nodded, stood up, and then looked back at the three people under the tea shed. "The three of you are waiting here, I will come as I go."
The three stood up together, Ma Ping'er was still dazed and nervous, but Jia Yue and Wang Xiongdan looked at each other, and each of them felt a slight movement in their hearts - the latter two had already understood, Zhang Xing came over in a hurry, and it was impromptu, unless it was What an accident, otherwise, if there is a real danger, it can only be betrayed by the Huaiyou League, specifically Wang and Ma, this means that Wang Xiongdan should stop here and not move.
Immediately, Jia Yue, who had always been reticent, immediately bowed his hands: "Then I will respond here."
Wang Xiongdan quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I, Ping'er, will accompany Chief Jia to support you here."
Zhang Xing knew that the other party understood, so he didn't bother to say much, he got on his horse and galloped to the barracks alone.
When he came to the camp, before the soldiers came forward to investigate, Zhang Xing rode his horse directly, passed the peasants and officials in front, and immediately said calmly to the warriors guarding the gate:
"Someone from Dongdu! Where is General Han?"
The sergeants were surprised for a moment, and when they were on the spot, their momentum weakened by three points: "The general is in Xiao County."
Zhang Xing immediately asked: "When will you come back?"
The sergeants looked at each other and shook their heads.
Then a low-ranking officer came back to his senses and smiled: "How do we know when the general will come?"
Zhang Xing frowned on the spot: "Quickly call a suitable person to come out and take me there."
The sergeants finally stood awe-inspiring, and the leading officer came out and asked seriously: "Brother, where is the hard work in Dongdu? Is there a document and seal?"
Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and before the other party started to get nervous, he lowered his voice and became angry: "Why are you so stupid? If Jiang Du knows about the public relationship, can you go back to Dongdu?"
The sergeants were instinctively furious when they heard the first half of the sentence, but they suddenly cheered up when they heard the last sentence, and the officer immediately stepped forward, took the initiative to lead Zhang Xing's horse into the camp, and then a group of people swarmed after him, Regardless of the civilian husbands, they just helped Zhang Xing off the horse, transferred to the barracks, and went behind the gate to do it.
Zhang Xing sat down, while someone was going to report the news, but at the same time, tea and snacks were offered.
The gatekeeper sergeants were also less than flattering.
However, no matter how these people came to ask, Zhang Xing just kept his face cold and silent, until a tough old soldier came with a knife surrounded by a group of elite men.
Coming closer, Zhang Xing still didn't get up, just waiting for the other party to ask.
Sure enough, when the visitor arrived, he immediately drove back the gatekeepers and only let his own soldiers surround him before he said sternly: "The envoys from the Eastern Capital have already come twice, and they were all negotiating in the city, besides, they didn't call for the people who served nearby to come directly." Well, how come there are no superficial documents?"
Zhang Xing got the words he wanted, and immediately came to his senses, but he didn't move at all on the surface. He was silent for a while, and waited for the opponent's hands to be on the handle of the knife before slowly opening his mouth: "Your Excellency must be a close friend of General Han. , then I will not hide it from you, I am a good person from Dongdu, but I was not sent by the emperor, if I have to ask, I can only say that I was sent by someone from Kansai to say hello..."
The man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly became aware, and also slowed down his tone: "Which old family is it?"
"Because I'm a close friend of Li Ding and Li Taishou, Baizhu Kingdom, the Eastern Capital, sent me here." Zhang Xing blurted out, his expression not changing at all. "Even if Baizhu Kingdom sent me here, there is actually only one message, and I dare not keep it true... If you want me to say, since your Excellency is a considerate person of General Han, why not convey it yourself, and I will not enter the city. The acquaintances around me saw it? I really saw it, I’m afraid it’s a bad face.”
"What message?" The old soldier pondered for a moment, then answered in a low voice.
"Your brother and my subordinates want to go back to the Eastern Capital. It is needless to say, but you must not be controlled by others for this, and sacrifice life and death for others in vain." Zhang Xing stood up, bowed his hands, and responded slowly. "Respond to some things for a while, and when there is a chance, if you can lead troops to Hedong, or return to Tongguan, it will be like a fish in water."
Up to this point, Zhang Xing continued to whisper to the elderly soldiers who listened carefully: "Just say what the old Bai family said, General Han will understand."
The old soldier thought for a moment, as if he was trying to remember this simple sentence, but he still couldn't help but look at Zhang Xingyi's words: "You are not honest, you are from the Baizhu Kingdom in the Eastern Capital, and you are clearly sent by the British government of Taiyuan. of!"
"Anyway, they are all surnamed Bai! And there is no Zhu Kingdom in the Bai family?" Zhang Xing answered proudly. "It's good that you understand in your heart...why say it?"
The older soldier nodded, instead of being entangled, he waved his hand directly.
Zhang Xing was also not polite, turned around and wanted to leave.
Walking to the circle of soldiers, those soldiers saw that they were on good terms, so they took advantage of the opportunity to open a crack and come out.
But at this moment, the elder leader squinted his eyes from behind, and suddenly said: "Since you are on the other side, why did you bring a scimitar with a embroidered mouth? I don't recognize it."
Zhang Xing turned back directly and frankly: "I just said it, I was afraid of meeting acquaintances... That day when the Gushui incident occurred, the thieves in the north simply turned their heads from the inside, let alone us who changed their families."
The elderly soldier finally laughed: "Jing'antai has a large number of talents."
Zhang Xing just pretended not to understand the other party's sarcasm, went out with the scimitar in hand, got on his horse, and unexpectedly rode his horse out of the camp occupied by fifteen thousand warriors calmly, just as he came in calmly, it only took a quarter of an hour Time has verified my own ideas are generally easy.
He guessed right, Han Yingong was negotiating terms with Dongdu, or Cao Huangshu!
Whether it was his personal wish, or because all his subordinates were recruited from Kansai and Dongdu, in short, this general couldn't wait to lead his troops back to Dongdu or Kansai after he got the chance to go out.
Reminiscent of the Nanyang counter-insurgency army that was suddenly taken away by Jiangdu, it can only be said that Dongdu and Jiangdu are simply besieged cities. People in Dongdu want to go to Jiangdu, and those in Jiangdu want to go back to Dongdu... They all think it is better to face each other.
In other words, they all feel bad behind them.
It is also common sense.
However, Han Yingong has no desire to enter the army in the short term, but once he gets the political commitment, he will immediately act thunderously, which is nothing good or bad in front of the intelligence.
Gossip less, Zhang Xing didn't dare to stay at all after obtaining the precious information. He just rode his horse to the tea shed, pouted, and took the other three people who were obviously a little flustered on the road. The south bank of the Bian River is heading west - this is not any other need, but the meaning of acting and doing a full set, and I don't want to arouse any doubts.
Just go west for more than ten miles, and then turn back to the north immediately.
However, after walking upstream for more than ten miles, I came across a slightly larger ferry, and just about to cross the river, I was surprised to find that there were seven or eight riders coming from east to west, and they were also preparing to cross the river. But from north to south...
"Is this chasing soldiers?" Ma Ping'er was in a hurry.
"Probably not." Zhang Xing squinted his eyes to look at the opposite bank, which was quite far away, with a calm tone. "I didn't show any flaws, and there is no saying that the pursuers only chase from the other side and not from this side..."
"It should be a messenger or something." Jia Yue interrupted suddenly.
Zhang Xing understood and went to see Wang Xiong's birthday.
The latter gritted his teeth, and nodded without hesitation: "When they get on the boat, we will block them at the side of the ferry, and only deal with them on the boat. The gang in Qiao County took revenge."
The latter sentence was obviously meant for Ma Pinger to hear, but the new female protector was slightly taken aback, and it was only then that she realized what she was going to do, her face flushed immediately, and her expression became tense.
After a while, the boat on the opposite side gradually approached, but when there were still a dozen steps away from the ferry boarding, Zhang Xing suddenly stopped waiting with his head down, and no longer covered himself up. He recognized a person on the opposite boat, and the opposite person clearly recognized him.
The two parties are considered "acquaintances", so there is no need to put on a show.
Specifically, it was actually an old friend—the person opposite was Li Qingchen, the new captain of Huaiyang County.
As early as when Li Qingchen was released, Zhang Xing guessed that sooner or later the other party would be involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon Gang, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
The rather large ferry boat carried seven or eight people and seven or eight horses, approaching slowly according to the inertia. Li Qingchen hid in the stern of the boat in a panic. Meaning, but finally bit the teeth:
"Zhang Sanlang, I know that you are about to condense your pill... let me go! Let me die! I have a letter that you must want... I know you mean what you say! Can you give me a word?! "
As soon as this remark came out, the knights on Li Qingchen's boat turned pale with shock, and Jia Yue and others immediately raised their weapons, which made the two boatmen on the ferry choose to dive directly.
Zhang Xing was not in a hurry, but stood on the ferry and asked earnestly, "Is it Cao Zhongcheng's condition for Han Yingong to open? I already know everything!"
"No!" Li Qingchen was anxious. "It's a thing that worked before... If you don't agree, I'll jump off. It's because you have great skills, but once the paperwork gets wet, you will eventually make a mess of words."
The ship had already passed the side and approached the ferry. Some people on board retreated in a panic, while others gritted their teeth and pulled out their weapons, causing the unguided ship to sway non-stop.
But Zhang Xing pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "If I don't know the information, I will let you all go, the premise is that you are not allowed to resist, throw down your weapons, and follow me northward for the time being."
Li Qingchen seemed to be pardoned.
But just after the words were finished, as the ship crashed into the ferry, some of the new captain's subordinates directly took advantage of their strength and swung their knives at the ferry. I don't know if it was panic or self-reliance?
Of course, how could the servants beside the captain be the opponents of Wang Xiongdan, Jia Yue and others?
Even Ma Ping'er has a slight advantage in force.
With the light of swords and blood, Zhang Xing didn't make a move at all, and the battle ended quickly. Only Li Qingchen and his two subordinates, who were powerless for a while, were left leaning on the side of the boat, stepping in a pool of blood, looking at the corpse speechlessly.
After another quarter of an hour, the three captives were brought to the north bank. They avoided the crowds at the ferry and continued walking for a few miles. Zhang Xing opened the letter on Li Qingchen's body, sat down in the field, and opened it in the afternoon sunlight. .After reading the previous one, he was naturally expressionless, because as he expected, this letter from Han Yingong was just a bargain between Cao Lin and Han Yingong, or Han Yingong's rebuttal to Cao Lin's order was more accurate.
That old-fashioned Zhong Cheng actually proposed that Han Yingong hand over the command of the army to Zhang Xuguo.
And how could Han Yingong accept this condition?
It's just complaining, it's just carrying out the edict of Jiangdu, and asking to continue to lead troops to serve the country.
This is of course a good thing, the more the two sides can't reach an agreement, the Dragon Clan will be able to breathe a sigh of relief... It's better to never reach an agreement.
As for the next letter, after Zhang Xing finished reading it, his face was still expressionless - but this was just the habit and method he had accumulated in the past three years since he traveled through life and death. In fact, he had already received a heavy blow in his heart.
The letter was very simple, it was Sima Zheng's reply to his old subordinate Wang Zhen... Sima Zheng was naturally frank, and told himself that he would no longer recruit troops, and was just sitting in Xuzhou, but he still advised Wang Zhen not to have any worries about the latter.
As for what this concern is, the letter also clearly mentioned it, but Wang Zhen seemed to have made it clear before that the Lord of Dangshan was in Dangshan, facing the possible duel between Sima Zheng and Zhang Xing, and he was in a dilemma.
It can only be said that it is no wonder that Sima Zhenghui suddenly turned back to visit Zhang Xing before. Didn't he arrive at Dangshan, realize the "dilemma" of his old subordinate, and turn around to do his best?
It's no wonder that Li Qingchen wants to cross the river. This trip is from the south bank to the west, isn't it Dangshan?
A few things are about to be strung together.
After reading the letter, Zhang Xing burned it immediately, and then continued to set off northward, pretending nothing happened.
Li Qingchen wisely didn't say anything sarcastic, because he knew that if he spoke in front of other people at this time, his life might be lost.
PS: Thanks to Cao Fan and Benchu for the alliance, this is the 118th and 119th alliances in this book.Of course, I would also like to thank Mr. Huanquan Xiong and Mr. Linghu for their alliance with the film king...not forgetting the original intention...I got it.
But this time it’s really Calvin, who wants to write a small climax, but I’m afraid that the routine won’t be good, or it may be that there are too many things in the first half of the month, and it’s a bit difficult to get into the state.
(End of this chapter)
As the largest hill left behind by the Dragon Clan on the western front, Xu Shiying's statement to Jiyin County set off a wave of similar actions.Next, Niu Da, who didn't know whether it was a stubborn character or belatedly, the chief and deputy stewards of each county, including some so-called guardians and deacons who were recruited later, came to see him one after another to express their loyalty.
Speaking from his conscience and head, Zhang Xing actually knew very well that this kind of statement is actually useless... When it comes to the time when the army is overwhelming the situation, when it is really in such an extraordinary environment and encounters extraordinary troubles, the sincerity of these people can reveal.
Even, in this round of so-called statements, there have been obvious perfunctory and performances, which belong to the kind of people who want to laugh at the scene, just like officialdom.
But you still can't say that people are perfunctory and acting, because no one knows whether they will persist in the future.
This in turn seems to verify the invalidity of this statement.
But in the end, things will come back again.Because at this moment, as the supreme commander of the Western Front, as the first person to understand and recognize the whole situation, the pressure on Zhang Xing is also unprecedented... He has to admit that this vulgar and ridiculous political statement , or simply the feudal personal allegiance he hated the most, at this time it played a strong psychological comforting effect on him personally.
He has already adapted to killing and bloodshed, and the "experience" of rebellion seems to be ahead of the entire era, but as a superior, facing the upcoming fierce conflict and the expected low tide of "revolution", just one thought will make thousands When tens of thousands of people live or tens of thousands of people die, especially when there is military pressure for the first time as the chief general leading the army to fight against, it is undoubtedly the first feeling in another way.
But soon, things reversed.
Because next, from the end of March to the beginning of April, with the vanguard of the Xuzhou army, the official army officially began to appear in everyone's field of vision... Thousands of soldiers holding the big flag of Mazi went directly from east to west, Arrived in Huanshui, and after a short rest, quickly headed north and entered Dang County.
At this time, the internal servants made a behavior that was not mentioned in the alliance before, but it still aroused everyone's sensitive reaction - they chose to abandon Dang County due to insufficient troops, and shrank to their old nest Xiayi.
This directly led to Ma Hu occupying Dang County without bloodshed on the fifth day of April.
The behavior of the internal servants is very sensitive, and the location of Dang County is also very sensitive, because this is the intersection of the four counties and the intersection of all forces. It seems that everyone has to face the situation that the war is burning to the door.
Facts have proved that at this time, some people are worse than Zhang Xing before... No matter what Zhang Xing is, he has a score in his heart, and he still knows to sit still on the surface and stick to the original strategy, and these people can always Make some flowers.
For example, when he just came back from Hebei, with a heroic attitude, he expressed his support for Chief Wei, who is the leader of Zhang Dalong.
After Ma Hu entered Dang County, he quickly proposed a large-scale retreat, directly abandoning the entire Jiyin, and immediately recalling the troops in Yuncheng, preparing to rely on the big river to survive.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Xing rejected him immediately, and told the other party earnestly, that fleeing aggressively would only reveal flaws, attract the enemy's attention to the pursuers, and lead to faster defeat. At this time, one must proceed step by step and resist layer by layer.
To put it bluntly, it was a retreat, so you have to hold on to your appearance and see if you can fool people.
Just as the courier was sent away here, there was another moth in Chuqiu Mengshan. He probably realized the weakness of people like Zhang Xing and Taoist Wei, so he directly contacted Xu Shiying and Niu Da in private, and proposed to send troops first. Everyone concentrates their forces, and here in Dang County, they eat up this vanguard and try to win the first place.
Of course, Xu Shiying is undoubtedly half-reliable in the military. He sent a letter to Zhang Xing and replied to Meng Sangong, pointing out that Ma Hu, as a vanguard, has the nature of bait from a military point of view. If Han Yingong was used as bait, if he couldn't eat it quickly, he would be flanked and surrounded.
It is necessary to scout out Han Yingong's location and layout before he can formulate a similar military plan.
However, things cannot stop.
At this time, even within the Dragon Clan, few people have strategic focus anymore. Zhang Xing's self-righteous magic weapon is to hold a meeting, which is completely useless, because every time there are more than five people in the discussion, they will basically break out and run away. Arguing with the decisive battle, and repeating the original plan to stick to it, also sounds like some kind of cliché.
As a result, Zhang Dalongtou finally couldn't sit still anymore, he decided to go to the enemy camp to conduct reconnaissance in person.
In this era, if you want to conduct accurate military reconnaissance, especially if the superiors want to obtain accurate and true information, there is probably nothing more direct than going to the front of the battle to take a look in person.
Of course, it’s not about reconnaissance Ma Hu, Ma Hu is just a knife, a vanguard and a decoy, and what he wants to investigate is Han Yingong. According to the private notification of the Huaiyou League, the latter has stopped at Bianshui in Xiao County, Xuzhou, southeast of Dang County It's been a few days.
"Is Zhang Longtou really going?"
At dawn, the sky was still only dim, and on the road outside the county seat of Jinxiang County, the most southeastern part of Jiyin County, Taoist Wei who came out to see him off turned pale, and couldn't help persuading him one last time. "Han Yingong is a famous general in the imperial court. His cultivation level is condensed. Fifteen thousand people are all warriors recruited by the Fifth Army in the Eastern Capital. They are not comparable to ordinary soldiers..."
"That's why I went to see it."
Zhang Xing, who had changed into ordinary clothes, responded frankly. "Is it a real elite or a fake, is it Han Yingong or Sima Zheng, is he using Ma Hu as a bait or marching step by step? Take a look, and you will know it in your heart, so you don't have to guess here, which is futile."
Taoist Wei nodded and said no more.
Zhang Xingye and Jia Yue, just two people, were ready to go south.
But at this moment, Daoist Wei suddenly couldn't help but said in the middle of the road: "Zhang Long's head and stop."
Zhang Xing turned around in surprise.
"What if you don't come back?" Wei Xuanding asked earnestly.
Zhang Xing was slightly taken aback, and wanted to comfort him again, but then suddenly came to his senses, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "If I can't come back, I will naturally go to talk to Li Gong...but before that, let Xu Shiying come to Ji Yin sits in the township, and you still have to rely on them for military matters...Old Wei, when the time comes, you have to think about danger and retreat."
Chief Wei nodded again.
And Zhang Xing was ready to set off again.
But this time, the horse took two steps, and Taoist Wei stopped the opponent for the third time: "Zhang Longtou!"
"What?" Zhang Xing was completely out of temper, even Jia Yue was speechless.
"I'll go with you." Wei Xuanding summoned up his courage and said through gritted teeth. "Since I have become the chief, can I still escape? Let's go together."
Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to promise, but after thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "Old Wei, in the past six months after the incident, all the quagmire in you has disappeared, and you seem to be a rich scholar, which is easy to see... ...Besides, Chief Jia and I both have the ability to protect ourselves, and you are still far behind."
Daoist Wei nodded with relief, and said nothing more.
Zhang Xing and others finally set off.
From Jinxiang to Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou, the distance is about [-] miles, whether it is long or short, but it is this distance that aroused Wei Xuanding's fear, and it is also this distance that aroused Zhang Xing's urge to come and take a look. , because they were all afraid that Han Yingong would use Ma Hu as a bait, and then suddenly lead the main force northward, from Jinxiang to attack Jiyin County City.
In this way, two people, six horses, all good players, crossed the prefectures and counties in just two days and nights, and arrived at the destination directly.
But as soon as he arrived at the Bian River outside Xiaoxian County, he hadn't seen the Huai Youmeng who came to greet him, but just glanced at the huge military camp, and the biggest stone in Zhang Xing's heart fell to the ground.
There is no other reason. The main camp of the official army is on the south bank of Bianshui... This is the natural path after coming out of Xuzhou City, which is also on the south bank of Bianshui, but it is this detail that shows that the official army did not directly raid from Jinxiang The meaning of Jiyin.
At least not at this time.
Because it is now summer, the tributaries of the Huaihe River Basin have begun to rise slowly, and an army of over ten thousand cannot suddenly cross the river.
Surprise attack is not established from the basic conditions.
It can only be said that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Even before Du Pozhen sent people to emphasize that it was the Huaiyou League that undertook the transfer of supplies along the Huaishui-Huanshui River. They knew that Han Yingong must be He wanted to follow Ma Hu's ass and march on the western front, but what he saw with his own eyes at this time made Zhang Xing make his final judgment.
Crossing the Bian River did not cause any notice, because there were constant exchanges between the official army camp and the county seat, soldiers, civilian husbands, and officials were everywhere, and a considerable part of the civilian husbands here were organized by the Huaiyou League... Zhang Xing He and Jia Yue didn't look awkward in this scene, including the meeting with Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan who had made an appointment in advance, which was almost aboveboard.
After rendezvous, they even found an abandoned tea shed on the riverside road, sat there and looked at it carefully.
"It's indeed the foundation of the Fifth Army and the Guanlong Army." Zhang Xing watched for half a day in the empty shed, which was not yet dilapidated, and came to a meaningless conclusion. "Single-drawn is the best source of soldiers, and the numbers are accurate, [-] soldiers..."
"The soldiers are really strong, but they just don't do personnel affairs." Maybe because he left his father, Ma Ping'er seemed outspoken. "It's said that it's okay here, but Dalongtou doesn't know that Ma Hu's five thousand soldiers walked through Qiao County once, and seven or eight villages disappeared... One of our helmsmen went to Ma Hu and said that these villages were all The place where our Huaiyou League civilian husband lived was robbed and burned, and no one transported food. In the end, he was also killed, and his head was hung on the flagpole... For this matter, several halls in the Northwest of Huaihe almost used knives. Before the two of us came, the leader and the deputy leader could only persuade each other, but the people below said that this time they might not be able to persuade them."
Wang Xiongdan couldn't help coughing dryly, and he didn't know whether he felt embarrassed or felt that Ma Ping'er had talked too much.
Zhang Xing has been staring at Han Yingong since Ma Hu entered Dangshan, and he really doesn't know what Ma Hu is doing.But thinking about it, like Zhang Xuguo of Qi County who dared to take the initiative to release food to save people, after all, it is a minority, and a general Zhonglang, a middle-level military leader in Guanlong, is cruel. What can't be expected?
"I really expected that the officers and soldiers would come to save the people from fire and water, so why did I rebel that day?" Zhang Xing came back to his senses, sighed at the right time, and then looked around. "It's said that it's okay here, and how good it is, do you have an explanation?"
The two Ma and Wang were silent for a while, after all, everyone has a ruler in their hearts about whether military discipline is good or bad, and it is difficult to judge what is good and what is bad.
Especially in this year, the army crosses the border like locusts. This is the so-called good military discipline, and even the royal march in the core area of Guanlong that day is indispensable to the legend of the Maoren.
This is also one of the reasons why the tea shed in front of me can't explain any problems.
Ordinary people would throw away their property next to the barracks or even the fields and flee from their homes, regardless of whether the opponent was an official or a bandit.
"Anyway, the management of the military camp is very strict, and only 500 people are allowed to go to the city every day." After a while, Ma Ping'er still tried to answer.
"That's really good. Is there any resentment in the army?" Zhang Xing was startled before continuing to ask.
"There must be." Wang Xiongdan answered. "In private, it is said that Han Yingong leads people to the city every day and does not come back all day and all night, but makes the soldiers suffer..."
Zhang Xing was taken aback again: "Han Yingong is not in the camp on weekdays?"
"Not here."
"In the county town of Xiao County on the other side of the river." Wang Ma and Wang Ma replied quickly.
"What is he doing there?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"I don't know." Wang Xiongsheng shook his head. "We just came here two days earlier according to Uncle Zhang's intention. We probably heard from the local gang members that the army came here for four or five days, but Han Yingong was mostly in the city."
Zhang Xing thought for a while: "In just these two days, how long has he been in the barracks and in the city?"
"There are only two hours in the barracks. I came here yesterday afternoon to deal with something, and the rest are in the city." Ma Ping'er couldn't wait to provide details.
Zhang Xing was thoughtful, and then continued to ask: "Is he in the city now?"
"Yes." Wang Xiongsheng nodded immediately.
"Da Longtou, is there something wrong?" Ma Ping'er also asked.
"It doesn't look like you're here for a war, at least it doesn't mean calling for a war." Zhang Xing shook his head in response. "Whether the main general went to the city, or the soldiers in the battalion took turns leaving the camp and entering the city, it felt like they were staying permanently. Even looking inside and outside the barracks, they were not very nervous... But I don't understand why he stopped here often. I can only have a guess."
"Is there no way to verify it?" Wang Xiongdan looked naughty, but he was a little more careful, and seemed to understand Zhang Xing's meaning.
"It seems a bit risky." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "In the past, I had absolutely no such worries, so I went straight away. Now that I have become a leader and managed one or two counties, I can't help feeling a little greedy for life and afraid of death..."
Wang Xiongdan laughed dryly for a while: "What kind of covetous life and fear of death is this... Uncle Zhang is a big shot, and he has involved many relationships."
"Forget it." Zhang Xing nodded, stood up, and then looked back at the three people under the tea shed. "The three of you are waiting here, I will come as I go."
The three stood up together, Ma Ping'er was still dazed and nervous, but Jia Yue and Wang Xiongdan looked at each other, and each of them felt a slight movement in their hearts - the latter two had already understood, Zhang Xing came over in a hurry, and it was impromptu, unless it was What an accident, otherwise, if there is a real danger, it can only be betrayed by the Huaiyou League, specifically Wang and Ma, this means that Wang Xiongdan should stop here and not move.
Immediately, Jia Yue, who had always been reticent, immediately bowed his hands: "Then I will respond here."
Wang Xiongdan quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I, Ping'er, will accompany Chief Jia to support you here."
Zhang Xing knew that the other party understood, so he didn't bother to say much, he got on his horse and galloped to the barracks alone.
When he came to the camp, before the soldiers came forward to investigate, Zhang Xing rode his horse directly, passed the peasants and officials in front, and immediately said calmly to the warriors guarding the gate:
"Someone from Dongdu! Where is General Han?"
The sergeants were surprised for a moment, and when they were on the spot, their momentum weakened by three points: "The general is in Xiao County."
Zhang Xing immediately asked: "When will you come back?"
The sergeants looked at each other and shook their heads.
Then a low-ranking officer came back to his senses and smiled: "How do we know when the general will come?"
Zhang Xing frowned on the spot: "Quickly call a suitable person to come out and take me there."
The sergeants finally stood awe-inspiring, and the leading officer came out and asked seriously: "Brother, where is the hard work in Dongdu? Is there a document and seal?"
Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and before the other party started to get nervous, he lowered his voice and became angry: "Why are you so stupid? If Jiang Du knows about the public relationship, can you go back to Dongdu?"
The sergeants were instinctively furious when they heard the first half of the sentence, but they suddenly cheered up when they heard the last sentence, and the officer immediately stepped forward, took the initiative to lead Zhang Xing's horse into the camp, and then a group of people swarmed after him, Regardless of the civilian husbands, they just helped Zhang Xing off the horse, transferred to the barracks, and went behind the gate to do it.
Zhang Xing sat down, while someone was going to report the news, but at the same time, tea and snacks were offered.
The gatekeeper sergeants were also less than flattering.
However, no matter how these people came to ask, Zhang Xing just kept his face cold and silent, until a tough old soldier came with a knife surrounded by a group of elite men.
Coming closer, Zhang Xing still didn't get up, just waiting for the other party to ask.
Sure enough, when the visitor arrived, he immediately drove back the gatekeepers and only let his own soldiers surround him before he said sternly: "The envoys from the Eastern Capital have already come twice, and they were all negotiating in the city, besides, they didn't call for the people who served nearby to come directly." Well, how come there are no superficial documents?"
Zhang Xing got the words he wanted, and immediately came to his senses, but he didn't move at all on the surface. He was silent for a while, and waited for the opponent's hands to be on the handle of the knife before slowly opening his mouth: "Your Excellency must be a close friend of General Han. , then I will not hide it from you, I am a good person from Dongdu, but I was not sent by the emperor, if I have to ask, I can only say that I was sent by someone from Kansai to say hello..."
The man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly became aware, and also slowed down his tone: "Which old family is it?"
"Because I'm a close friend of Li Ding and Li Taishou, Baizhu Kingdom, the Eastern Capital, sent me here." Zhang Xing blurted out, his expression not changing at all. "Even if Baizhu Kingdom sent me here, there is actually only one message, and I dare not keep it true... If you want me to say, since your Excellency is a considerate person of General Han, why not convey it yourself, and I will not enter the city. The acquaintances around me saw it? I really saw it, I’m afraid it’s a bad face.”
"What message?" The old soldier pondered for a moment, then answered in a low voice.
"Your brother and my subordinates want to go back to the Eastern Capital. It is needless to say, but you must not be controlled by others for this, and sacrifice life and death for others in vain." Zhang Xing stood up, bowed his hands, and responded slowly. "Respond to some things for a while, and when there is a chance, if you can lead troops to Hedong, or return to Tongguan, it will be like a fish in water."
Up to this point, Zhang Xing continued to whisper to the elderly soldiers who listened carefully: "Just say what the old Bai family said, General Han will understand."
The old soldier thought for a moment, as if he was trying to remember this simple sentence, but he still couldn't help but look at Zhang Xingyi's words: "You are not honest, you are from the Baizhu Kingdom in the Eastern Capital, and you are clearly sent by the British government of Taiyuan. of!"
"Anyway, they are all surnamed Bai! And there is no Zhu Kingdom in the Bai family?" Zhang Xing answered proudly. "It's good that you understand in your heart...why say it?"
The older soldier nodded, instead of being entangled, he waved his hand directly.
Zhang Xing was also not polite, turned around and wanted to leave.
Walking to the circle of soldiers, those soldiers saw that they were on good terms, so they took advantage of the opportunity to open a crack and come out.
But at this moment, the elder leader squinted his eyes from behind, and suddenly said: "Since you are on the other side, why did you bring a scimitar with a embroidered mouth? I don't recognize it."
Zhang Xing turned back directly and frankly: "I just said it, I was afraid of meeting acquaintances... That day when the Gushui incident occurred, the thieves in the north simply turned their heads from the inside, let alone us who changed their families."
The elderly soldier finally laughed: "Jing'antai has a large number of talents."
Zhang Xing just pretended not to understand the other party's sarcasm, went out with the scimitar in hand, got on his horse, and unexpectedly rode his horse out of the camp occupied by fifteen thousand warriors calmly, just as he came in calmly, it only took a quarter of an hour Time has verified my own ideas are generally easy.
He guessed right, Han Yingong was negotiating terms with Dongdu, or Cao Huangshu!
Whether it was his personal wish, or because all his subordinates were recruited from Kansai and Dongdu, in short, this general couldn't wait to lead his troops back to Dongdu or Kansai after he got the chance to go out.
Reminiscent of the Nanyang counter-insurgency army that was suddenly taken away by Jiangdu, it can only be said that Dongdu and Jiangdu are simply besieged cities. People in Dongdu want to go to Jiangdu, and those in Jiangdu want to go back to Dongdu... They all think it is better to face each other.
In other words, they all feel bad behind them.
It is also common sense.
However, Han Yingong has no desire to enter the army in the short term, but once he gets the political commitment, he will immediately act thunderously, which is nothing good or bad in front of the intelligence.
Gossip less, Zhang Xing didn't dare to stay at all after obtaining the precious information. He just rode his horse to the tea shed, pouted, and took the other three people who were obviously a little flustered on the road. The south bank of the Bian River is heading west - this is not any other need, but the meaning of acting and doing a full set, and I don't want to arouse any doubts.
Just go west for more than ten miles, and then turn back to the north immediately.
However, after walking upstream for more than ten miles, I came across a slightly larger ferry, and just about to cross the river, I was surprised to find that there were seven or eight riders coming from east to west, and they were also preparing to cross the river. But from north to south...
"Is this chasing soldiers?" Ma Ping'er was in a hurry.
"Probably not." Zhang Xing squinted his eyes to look at the opposite bank, which was quite far away, with a calm tone. "I didn't show any flaws, and there is no saying that the pursuers only chase from the other side and not from this side..."
"It should be a messenger or something." Jia Yue interrupted suddenly.
Zhang Xing understood and went to see Wang Xiong's birthday.
The latter gritted his teeth, and nodded without hesitation: "When they get on the boat, we will block them at the side of the ferry, and only deal with them on the boat. The gang in Qiao County took revenge."
The latter sentence was obviously meant for Ma Pinger to hear, but the new female protector was slightly taken aback, and it was only then that she realized what she was going to do, her face flushed immediately, and her expression became tense.
After a while, the boat on the opposite side gradually approached, but when there were still a dozen steps away from the ferry boarding, Zhang Xing suddenly stopped waiting with his head down, and no longer covered himself up. He recognized a person on the opposite boat, and the opposite person clearly recognized him.
The two parties are considered "acquaintances", so there is no need to put on a show.
Specifically, it was actually an old friend—the person opposite was Li Qingchen, the new captain of Huaiyang County.
As early as when Li Qingchen was released, Zhang Xing guessed that sooner or later the other party would be involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon Gang, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
The rather large ferry boat carried seven or eight people and seven or eight horses, approaching slowly according to the inertia. Li Qingchen hid in the stern of the boat in a panic. Meaning, but finally bit the teeth:
"Zhang Sanlang, I know that you are about to condense your pill... let me go! Let me die! I have a letter that you must want... I know you mean what you say! Can you give me a word?! "
As soon as this remark came out, the knights on Li Qingchen's boat turned pale with shock, and Jia Yue and others immediately raised their weapons, which made the two boatmen on the ferry choose to dive directly.
Zhang Xing was not in a hurry, but stood on the ferry and asked earnestly, "Is it Cao Zhongcheng's condition for Han Yingong to open? I already know everything!"
"No!" Li Qingchen was anxious. "It's a thing that worked before... If you don't agree, I'll jump off. It's because you have great skills, but once the paperwork gets wet, you will eventually make a mess of words."
The ship had already passed the side and approached the ferry. Some people on board retreated in a panic, while others gritted their teeth and pulled out their weapons, causing the unguided ship to sway non-stop.
But Zhang Xing pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "If I don't know the information, I will let you all go, the premise is that you are not allowed to resist, throw down your weapons, and follow me northward for the time being."
Li Qingchen seemed to be pardoned.
But just after the words were finished, as the ship crashed into the ferry, some of the new captain's subordinates directly took advantage of their strength and swung their knives at the ferry. I don't know if it was panic or self-reliance?
Of course, how could the servants beside the captain be the opponents of Wang Xiongdan, Jia Yue and others?
Even Ma Ping'er has a slight advantage in force.
With the light of swords and blood, Zhang Xing didn't make a move at all, and the battle ended quickly. Only Li Qingchen and his two subordinates, who were powerless for a while, were left leaning on the side of the boat, stepping in a pool of blood, looking at the corpse speechlessly.
After another quarter of an hour, the three captives were brought to the north bank. They avoided the crowds at the ferry and continued walking for a few miles. Zhang Xing opened the letter on Li Qingchen's body, sat down in the field, and opened it in the afternoon sunlight. .After reading the previous one, he was naturally expressionless, because as he expected, this letter from Han Yingong was just a bargain between Cao Lin and Han Yingong, or Han Yingong's rebuttal to Cao Lin's order was more accurate.
That old-fashioned Zhong Cheng actually proposed that Han Yingong hand over the command of the army to Zhang Xuguo.
And how could Han Yingong accept this condition?
It's just complaining, it's just carrying out the edict of Jiangdu, and asking to continue to lead troops to serve the country.
This is of course a good thing, the more the two sides can't reach an agreement, the Dragon Clan will be able to breathe a sigh of relief... It's better to never reach an agreement.
As for the next letter, after Zhang Xing finished reading it, his face was still expressionless - but this was just the habit and method he had accumulated in the past three years since he traveled through life and death. In fact, he had already received a heavy blow in his heart.
The letter was very simple, it was Sima Zheng's reply to his old subordinate Wang Zhen... Sima Zheng was naturally frank, and told himself that he would no longer recruit troops, and was just sitting in Xuzhou, but he still advised Wang Zhen not to have any worries about the latter.
As for what this concern is, the letter also clearly mentioned it, but Wang Zhen seemed to have made it clear before that the Lord of Dangshan was in Dangshan, facing the possible duel between Sima Zheng and Zhang Xing, and he was in a dilemma.
It can only be said that it is no wonder that Sima Zhenghui suddenly turned back to visit Zhang Xing before. Didn't he arrive at Dangshan, realize the "dilemma" of his old subordinate, and turn around to do his best?
It's no wonder that Li Qingchen wants to cross the river. This trip is from the south bank to the west, isn't it Dangshan?
A few things are about to be strung together.
After reading the letter, Zhang Xing burned it immediately, and then continued to set off northward, pretending nothing happened.
Li Qingchen wisely didn't say anything sarcastic, because he knew that if he spoke in front of other people at this time, his life might be lost.
PS: Thanks to Cao Fan and Benchu for the alliance, this is the 118th and 119th alliances in this book.Of course, I would also like to thank Mr. Huanquan Xiong and Mr. Linghu for their alliance with the film king...not forgetting the original intention...I got it.
But this time it’s really Calvin, who wants to write a small climax, but I’m afraid that the routine won’t be good, or it may be that there are too many things in the first half of the month, and it’s a bit difficult to get into the state.
