Chapter 231
231 Chapter 14: The Fate ([-])
In late April, the rain fell intermittently, which means that the rainy season...or to be more precise...the Jianghuai region will enter the rainy season as a routine, and it should spread rapidly to the north, making the Jishui River Basin at this node in May. It rained continuously on time.
During the interval of the rain, Niu Da, the leader of the top four in the Western Front camp of the Dragon Gang, led his troops into Dang County. At the time, the other party was tilting his head to look at his head.
It is the human head.
There are hundreds of them, some fresh and bloodshot, and some that have been washed white, black and blue by the rain. They are piled up together, and their hair is knotted and connected by mud and blood stains, which is particularly visually impactful.
But there is no way, this is military merit.
In the battle that evening, Zhang Dalong himself shouted that the people under his banner shared honor and disgrace, at least there was no need to make redundant distinctions, but in subsequent battles and pursuits, military merits would inevitably be judged by their heads... and these people from the Eastern Territory The powerful descendants of the military aristocrats of the former Eastern Qi Dynasty are naturally expert in these things, but Zhang Xing seems to be divorced from the masses.
"If you save enough heads, you must be promoted?"
After watching for a while with his hands behind his back, Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and asked Niu Da who was behind him, his mental state was surprisingly good.
"Correct."
Niu Da, who was already cautious, responded immediately. "Cultivation is just an underwater rule, but the first-level military merits cannot be changed."
"It's natural." Zhang Xing also woke up instantly. "The head is the goal, and the cultivation is the means...so the former is the iron rule, and the latter is the water rule."
Niu Da responded again and again, but glanced at the other party again. He really felt that he hadn't seen him these days, and the leader in front of him looked refreshed a lot.
Of course, Niu Da is ignorant. Taoist Wei, Jia Yue, Yan Qing, and Zhang Jinshu are the ones who have really learned what it means to be radiant overnight-they almost think that someone painted it to prevent mildew during the rainy season. waxed.
"Xu Dalang wants to take in Ma Hu's surrendered soldiers. Last night, he blocked several hundred in a small village. It's almost [-] surrendered soldiers, which is more than expected." Over there, Zhang was still checking the heads. Xing directly bowed his head to speak. "Do you want some surrender?"
Niu Da hesitated to speak, but his gaze was only lingering on the pile of heads over there and Wei Xuanding who was filling out some form with an impatient face on one side.
The meaning couldn't be more clear, he wanted it, but obviously, he followed this wave of war from beginning to end, not to mention military exploits, he didn't touch a single hair, so the trophies on the surface are fine, Regardless of this kind of actual high-level loot, he can't get it.
Take it, who is convinced?
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Xing understood immediately and continued to explain with his head bowed. "In this battle, I and those white knights are the first to win. As long as I come forward and talk about breaking the sky, Xu Dalang will not be able to surpass me to take it for himself... And I am against this matter, but Xu Dalang wants these elites too much. , I reluctantly said the past, but I don't want it, but I can't stop it, so you might as well accept it in my name and put it in your place for use, at least it can be put in Chanyuan as a preparation for Hebei."
Niu Da took a deep breath, thought for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the warriors from the Eastern Capital and the troops stationed in the Kanxi region, so he nodded heavily.
"Then assist Wei Gong to test the head for me!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xing didn't say much, he just patted the other party's shoulder. "Watch out for anyone who kills the good and pretends to be meritorious. You are better at this than me. If you encounter it, just cut it off and replace his own head... After the point is over, bury it quickly, so as not to cause a plague."
As he said that, he left with his hands behind his back, leaving only Niu Da, Wei Xuanding, a pile of heads, blood all over the ground, and a large group of soldiers carrying the heads waiting to be inspected.
Zhang Xing left, but did not return to his residence, but took advantage of the rain to inspect the city for a while.
The county seat of Dang County is not big, and it has changed hands four times in a short period of time. Every time, the army swarmed in. Among them, the first time the officers and soldiers entered, they let go of the looting, so when Zhang Xing first arrived that day, he felt that the place was lifeless. .
But I don’t know if I’m in good spirits and everything is fine. Now I’m walking, but I feel that there seems to be some vitality in the wet weather. Some houses are being repaired, and there is a small amount of smoke that is independent of the army’s garrison. It started to appear... When I walked to a slightly off-road intersection, there was even a rice shop open with a signboard, and several women and children were trembling in line to buy rice.
Zhang Xing was rarely surprised, so he walked in.
After entering, I found out that the store owner recognized me as a local businessman from Jiyin. There was a brother who was the guardian of the gang and was one of the former white knights... This store was originally owned by his family, and others Afraid of dethroning the Dragon Army, worried about another round of looting, he somehow understood in his heart that he was naturally not afraid, but he came directly to open the store because he sensed a business opportunity.
Zhang Xing inquired about the source of the grain, and knew that he had brains. He searched for the old relationship in Chuqiu and Yucheng in turn, and found two big households he was familiar with. The grain from Yucheng was transported here and sold at a higher price, which was more than three times the market price in Jiyin.
Moreover, all they sell are old rice and semolina that are hard to keep.
But there is nothing to say... When the food that Chu Longjun was preparing for a little relief has not arrived, this is the so-called valley of famine. It doesn't matter if the food for life-saving is expensive, as long as it can be eaten.
It can only be said that people are really comprehensive, and Zhang Xing can only encourage them.
After I came out, I was even more moved. People's livelihood is really like water. As long as the upper level maintains a fair position and basic order, the lower level can adjust itself.
Of course, this is only when the water is shallow. When the water is shallow, the water is poured to fill up the pits. When the water is deep, any problems can come out... But at this time, I can still think of the time when the water is deep. It can only be said that Mr. Zhang got used to it before he traveled, and became dazed.
Going forward, Zhang Xingfu went into the streets and alleys again, to check the smoke from the kitchen, check how many houses are vacant, eavesdrop on the conversations inside the closed gates, and even simply check whether the alleys are open or not, until the rain falls again. The hand drilled out and returned to the street.
At this time, someone has been looking for him for a long time.
"The prince is here." Zhang Jinshu panted heavily, and reported.
"It came very quickly." Zhang Xing sighed, neither happy nor angry. "There should be a decision... just don't know if it's good or bad?"
"It should be bad." Zhang Jinshu couldn't wait to add. "Eunuch Wang only brought seven or eight riders here, it doesn't look like he is going to take over the place."
Zhang Xing glanced at the other party, did not say a word, but went directly to the county government where the residence was also inspected, Zhang Jinshu shrank his neck, and quickly shut up and followed... When he arrived there, he saw Wang Gonggong Standing outside in the drizzle with seven or eight white-faced knights who were tall and heavy but had no beards, they were watching those heads in a daze, until Zhang Dalongtou came to the front before he came back to his senses and saluted.
When the two sides met, Zhang Xing didn't say much, and just cut straight to the point in the rain: "Return Dang County to you, do you want it?"
Eunuch Wang was silent for a while, and answered word by word: "If the Chulong gang stops on the line of Yucheng, or even on the line of Chuqiu, we can come back, but if we retreat to the line of Zhouqiao, or even on the edge of Jishui How dare we come back to Jiyin City? Even 5000 people can’t handle it, and Han Yingong will only be in a more embarrassing situation if he comes over.”
This place is the place where military merit points are counted, and the county government is behind it. Taoist Wei and Niu Da preside over here, and many other leaders, gang members, sergeants, and officials are here, and they have come to eavesdrop long ago... Get words, whisper more, and laugh in a low voice.
Although these people didn't dare to speak loudly because of Zhang Xing's increasing authority, they could understand what they were talking about.
And Zhang Xing thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "If you are willing to take it down, we will merge the Meng's rebel army, enter the front line of Chuqiu, and use the Bianshui as the line of defense...Of course, it is only the primary line of defense. If Han Yingong really comes , It’s fine if you can delay for a while... Correspondingly, I don’t want you to do too much, there are all kinds of methods, as long as you can divide his troops and delay his time, it will be considered worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.”
"If that's the case, we are willing to take down these two counties, but we can only take Dang County and Xiayi. If there are too many, we don't have the strength." Wang Gonggong felt relieved, but after a short pause, he asked again. "What about Yucheng?"
"How about handing it over to the government?" Zhang Xing said with sincerity. "Prefect Cao, please send troops to drive us to Chuqiu, take back Yucheng by the way, and separate our two families, so that you can talk to Han Yingong."
Eunuch Wang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this is the benefit of Eunuch Beiya, and this kind of thing can be revealed at once.
"That being the case, let's arrange it like this." Zhang Xing sighed and made a decision.
This is of course a very perfunctory arrangement, but Meng Sangong died in a hurry, the Meng family collapsed too quickly, and the situation changed three times a day. It would be ridiculous to expect some proper arrangements to be made at this time.
At this time, it is better to be fast than slow, and simple rather than complicated.
"Then I'll go back, and I'm going to send someone to pick it up?" Eunuch Wang didn't talk nonsense, so he wanted to leave.
Zhang Xing nodded, then beckoned again to let the other party approach, and then answered in a low voice: "Han Yingong is negotiating with Cao Huangshu, this may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing, you have to have a plan in mind."
Wang Gonggong understood immediately, and then left.
Zhang Xingli stood on the spot, watching the other party leave in the rain, and Zhang Jinshu was already gearing up beside him. Obviously, he was thinking about merging the Meng family.
However, as soon as the people over there left, Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and asked a question that was caught off guard: "Has Yan Qing not come back yet?"
Zhang Jinshu shook his head immediately.
Zhang Xing thought for a while and finally sighed.
Obviously, the improvement of mental state cannot bring about an immediate change in the real situation. There are many things that made him burnt out before, as well as the problems that he should face-the troops will withdraw as soon as they say, and he hopes to see Wang Zhen once before leaving. But Xiao Zhou is not here, Yan Qing is the best candidate to go to Mangdang Mountain.
Not only that, Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan, who performed well in this battle, also followed Xu Shiying south to pursue, because further ahead is the territory of the Huaiyou League.
At the same time, Bai Yousi also left early in the morning without even showing his face... It was not that she was asked to go to Xuzhou to monitor Sima Zheng's marriage, but that she could bring Xiao Zhou out.
After all, although no one can clearly see the specific changes in the situation, the concept of military conflicts, and large-scale military conflicts, is still increasing, and the plan for defending the city of Jiyin has not changed in essence. Therefore, Zhang Xing needs a reliable and capable confidant like Zhou Xingfan by his side.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xing finally looked at Zhang Jinshu who was full of expectation.
In fact, he really wanted to beat the head of the military spy who has been getting more and more impatient recently, but the matter is here, and he doesn't have the time to do these things, so he directly arranged the task and asked the other party to get it from Songcheng, the prefect of Liangjun. Get in touch and get ready for the retreat.
Then, the big leader who had so many affairs went back to the backyard of the county government alone.
But when he returned to the backyard and entered the porch, before returning to the house, he ran into Jia Yue head-on.
Besides, because many backbones participated in the assault of the white knights, the two hundred guards had obvious downsizing and losses. Zhang Xing had already settled the wounded and the dead in Yucheng, and now he came to Dang County. Powerful, Zhang Dalongtou ordered Jia Yue to take the opportunity to add some good players, capable and honest, either.
This is another rush thing.
Just like that, the two talked a little in the corridor, knowing that the matter was not in order, they immediately let the other party go and let the other party continue to work... However, seeing the other party leave and looking at the back of the other party, Zhang Xing felt slightly moved. I remembered something, and then took the initiative to call out to the other party:
"Jia Yue."
Jia Yue turned around in surprise.
"Have you been with me for more than half a year?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"Yes...it will be a year in two or three months." Jia Yue answered immediately.
"Why are you following me?" Zhang Xing walked forward and asked curiously. "Haven't you ever thought about going back to the Northland? Don't you have any ambitions?"
Jia Yue was obviously caught off guard, but after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, "I don't know why I follow you, but if I don't follow you, where am I going? I don't know anyone else, who will I be a thug for?" It's not about being a thug, at least it's less troublesome to follow you. As for Beidi, it's not that you can't go back, but what's the use of going back? You still have an uncle, and having an uncle's family is fundamental, and I can only wander around when I go back. As a hunter in Demon Guard, I can't be a deacon and a priest, and I'm not used to being a deacon and a priest."
"What about ambition?" Zhang Xing emphasized.
"We've said it several times on the boat." Jia Yue raised his head with subtle eyes. "You really don't even remember?"
"Maybe I can remember it later." Zhang Xing remained calm. "Just say it again."
"I think it was Heidi who made me go south." Jia Yue took it seriously. "I think my fate is in the south... At first I thought I could make a name for myself by going south, but I found out when I arrived in Hebei. There are always heroes, so I turn off the fire, just take one step at a time, and eat for nothing...then I just ran into you again, I think it is fate, and later you do so well, I think it is fate gone."
Zhang Xing smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.
In fact, when talking with Bai Yousi that day, Zhang Xing almost complained about the main members of the gang, but a few people never mentioned it, and some of them were really forgotten. Being covered by Xu Shiying, it's just because of some things, he is Zhang Dalong's confidant, so he still has a unique ecological niche in the gang; there are also Bai Yousi who has seen it many times and knows it very well. There is no need to mention, such as Xiong Bonan; there are also some that he does not know how to evaluate, or are more difficult to evaluate, such as Jia Yue.
Of course, Jia Yue can be regarded as a trustworthy confidant, not to mention that the township party itself is a strong relationship these days, let alone a so-called old acquaintance, and more importantly, this person is not an unknown person, but a surrendered prisoner who was captured on the battlefield. Humans are naturally joined as captives.
But this person is obviously a little too boring.
It's not that he didn't talk, and he even had some disputes with other people at the beginning, with a little desire to express himself, but the problem is that the more he went on, the more silent he became, but the execution ability of doing things was still appropriate, which made people feel a little guilty.
In particular, Zhang Xing knew very well that his "old knowledge" was a bit of a misnomer.
Now, the other party gave a religious reason, which is not a good one, but at least it is a reason. Considering the famous theocratic color of the Northland Dangmowei, Zhang Xing was slightly relieved.
It can only be said that things are being fooled, people are perfunctory, and there are few things that make Zhang Xing feel at ease.
Only after a while with Bai Yousi, Zhang Xing, who has recovered a bit, is now very sure that in the rain this summer, he must not be the only one who feels the situation is difficult and feels that no one is worrying. OK alone.
It must be difficult for the emperor's uncle in Dongdu. You don't need to think about it to know that he must be very difficult. The kind of difficult to pick your feet. Han Yingong bargains with him for such things, what kind of royal master is one of the two poles of the empire?
The building will fall, and the single tree will support it. It is not difficult to blame.
The sage in Jiangdu probably felt cold in his heart, why would he run away if he didn't?
And he went to Jiangdu, where he thought he could enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but it didn't work out... His wife was robbed and then released, Zai Zhi and Du Gong were publicly executed, and the servants, palace servants, and furniture were robbed. There are rebellions everywhere, taxes are not coming up, the army is not listening, isn't it difficult?
It is estimated that I have to wake up from time to time at night, and then I am puzzled, why did I fall into this position?Isn't it just killing all the brothers, exiling a bunch of nephews, beheading a few nephews and sons-in-law, and slaughtering a few heroes?Oh, and by the way, the homes of tens of millions of ordinary people were ruined.
But what is that?Why can't the whole world understand him, the land supreme?Why do you have to rebel? !
It is also difficult for the British father in Taiyuan, and it is not difficult for his own daughters to refuse him?And is the great master so easy to prove?If you can't prove it, are you trying to win over those two?But is Grandmaster so easy to win over?When will the time come?
What if Mr. Zhang from Nanpo and the old Taoist priest from Taibai Peak remain unwavering in their single-mindedness, and Uncle Cao remains unchanged for 20 years?Is it possible to sit back and watch the destiny pass by, but the younger generation will take advantage of the opportunity to make things happen?
As for the remaining generals and generals from Youzhou, Hejian, Xuzhou, and Jiangdu, dozens of other rebels in the eastern part of Hebei, local officials from various places, officials from Jiangdu in the eastern capital, and those from Jiangdong. The remnants of the Eight Great Families, the aristocratic families in Hebei and Jin, the gangs in Jianghuai, the Wubao in Shu, the Chamber of Commerce in Jingxiang, the witch clan outside the Great Wall, the Trinity Orthodox Church, the True Fire Sect and Dangmowei, the local lords in the North, and the South The tribes in Lingxi Mountain, as well as the common people all over the world, must be in trouble.
Don't even think about it.
Because this year is destined to be a year when the whole world, from economy to politics to social organization, will collapse... The so-called half collapsed and half disintegrated before, after about a year of gestation and interaction, finally led to the entire building The all-round disintegration is about to enter a climax of disintegration.
Under such circumstances, who in the world can be happy?
Can you Dongyi be happy?Not to mention your internal fighting, the Great Wei collapsed, you also want an economic crisis, okay?
then what should we do?
It depends on who can endure it, who can bravely face difficulties and solve them.
"What did you say? Who turned it against?"
In the army stronghold on Liangshan Mountain, Zhang Xuguo, who once again gathered troops here, was stunned and jumped up from his seat.
It's not his fault for losing his composure. In fact, the core of seven or eight Qilu disciples left in the main hall of the military camp all reacted similarly, and some of them simply froze.
"Zuo Xiaoyou is rebellious." Former Qi County Captain and current Zhonglang General Fan Hu paused, and reported again seriously. "After you were promoted to Tongshou, Zuo Xiaoyou, the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, turned against him... the county town disappeared immediately, many officials, soldiers and family members were captured, and my family's stockade outside the city was also gone. This is my sister Lihua personally. Riding to deliver the letter."
In the lobby of the military village, Zhang Xuguo was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't understand: "But why did he rebel? Why was he persuaded by Li Shu?"
"I feel like he was planning to turn against him before he came to take office, and then just happened to be transferred to our county, and then he got in touch with Li Shu and got together." Fan Hu had a straight face, almost without emotion Transcript. "Because as soon as the dynasty was launched, there was another man surnamed Zuo, who led tens of thousands of people to kill him from Langya, and echoed with him... It was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time."
Zhang Xuguo sighed and sat back. This answer seemed to make him feel a little relieved.
But immediately, he immediately tensed up again, and continued to ask: "Is there any other information? Apart from taking down the county town, how is Zuo Xiaoyou's progress in the county?"
Fan Hu shook his head: "It's just a little rough information that my sister brought when she escaped, and then I guessed it. The specific situation will have to wait a few days until the messenger arrives."
Zhang Xuguo nodded, and there was some commotion around him.
"Don't let the people below know about this." Zhang Xuguo reacted and ordered immediately.
Many core members in the army immediately bowed their heads and applauded, and the commotion was also suppressed by the way... Isn't this person gaining more and more prestige?Even the old nest was taken directly, and it was able to handle it.
It's just that this kind of incident is really unimaginable. It is estimated that Li Shu did not expect such a good thing.
But things have to be turned around again, if you have to be entangled, it seems that there is no entanglement... Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, the eastern region and Hebei are the worst, Jianghuai and Jiangdong are next, Jingxiang and Jin are also in chaos, up and down Where is it not against?
The sheriff who was born in Jing'antai can abandon his official position and rebel, and Guan Longzhong's surname was reversed three years ago, and now there is a remnant on the opposite side... a county magistrate, said to be the powerful family of Pengcheng County, next to Langya Over there, what if it's reversed?
Just thinking about it this way, can this big Wei survive?At least here in the east, is it worth saving?
The so-called loyal ministers and filial sons, what's the point of continuing to do it?To be played as a monkey by that Li Shu?
In fact, among these people, some people have already thought of it...not to mention anything else, if it weren't for Zhang Xuguo, half of the people here would have already become rebels. How could they be loyal ministers and filial sons with him?
That's just a fish, young and ignorant, who yells such things all day long. In Pinglu City, thirty miles away, the prefect Zhang from Dongdu probably wouldn't yell.
Not counting these, almost [-]% of the so-called Qilu soldiers in the surrounding cities and military strongholds are now recruited rebels.
"There's nothing to say." Zhang Xuguo sat down for a few more breaths, and after calming down his thoughts, he spoke again, but gave a solemn order. "Let Taishou Zhang come, and let your sister Lihua come, first report the situation, and then let the army pack their bags while doing reconnaissance, and prepare to return to the division to put down the rebellion..."
This is of course the meaning of the title.
In this way, Li Shu succeeded again, and Zhang Xuguo sealed the news tightly, only saying that there was a rebel Zuo Clan raiding from Langya County and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
However, this time, probably because he was successfully dispatched by Li Shu three times in a row, the morale of the army was low and complaints arose everywhere.
This made Zhang Xuguo's scalp almost numb, with such a military spirit, if he went back and found out that the county and city were gone, he might not be able to fight!
This is not counting.
Three days later, on the first day of May, as a small summer rain by the Jishui River arrived as scheduled, the troops came to Sucheng at the junction of the three counties of Jibei, Lu County, and Dongping County, where they gathered for a while and prepared for the post. Riders and couriers also came in droves as expected, and were stopped by Zhang Xuguo, who had been prepared in advance, at various intersections in the east, south, and north.
Sure enough, the messengers brought a load of bad news.
For example, after Zuo Xiaoyou took control of the county, the entire Qi County was almost unanimously erupted. Many small tyrants raised their banners to echo Zuo Xiaoyou, and the surrounding bandits and rebels also swarmed in... The situation has a tendency to collapse across the board .
The reason doesn't need to look at those proclamations, Zhang Xuguo knows what's going on.
First of all, he conscripted too many soldiers in Qi County and brought many officials into the army, which led to the emptiness inside.
Secondly, it was Zuo Xiaoyou who rebelled as the county magistrate and easily took control of the county city, making some left behind troops and military deployments a laughing stock.
Finally, and most importantly, after he was recognized and rewarded by Dongdu and Jiangdu, he acted proactively. Since last year, he has been fighting outside all year round.
Although there are basically victories and no defeats, in order to reward soldiers, transfer food and grass, and maintain the army, it will inevitably cause waste of financial, material and manpower.At the same time, Lu County and Jibei were raided by thieves, Qi County was also invaded many times, crops were trampled, and cattle, sheep and livestock were plundered.
To put it bluntly, he, Xu Guo, and his army were alone in the eastern border, without substantial support from Jiangdu and Dongdu, which caused Qi County to be overwhelmed.
This matter, Zhang Xuguo is very clear in his heart, and the reason why he must fight Li Shu and the Dragon Gang is for this reason... He has communication with Uncle Cao, and Uncle Cao also hopes He can reach Ji County or Xingyang County, get supplements of supplies and soldiers, and then build a strong and elite field force with him as the core.
Zhang Xuguo and Uncle Cao are running in both directions.
It's a pity that there is a gang of dethroning dragons in the middle, and the situation has deteriorated too quickly.
"The situation in Qi County is too bad."
In the high-level quarrel that could no longer hold back, Zhang Xuguo, who hadn't said a word for a long time, suddenly spoke, which attracted everyone to watch, and it seemed that the sound of rain outside the hall suddenly became obvious. "I estimate that after the troops reach the border, the whole county will fall..."
"According to the manager's wishes, don't you want to save him?" Fan Hu said before his impulsive younger brother... just now his younger brother Fan Bao had already shouted that he would lead the army back because his family village fell.
"Where does the manager mean this?" Yu Baimei protested angrily.
"Do you want me to go back first and find a way to kill Zuo Xiaoyou first?" Zhang Changgong, who was also silent, suddenly spoke out behind the mask.
"Is it possible?" Yu Baimei cheered up.
"No." Jia Wugen, the just-appointed Prime Minister of Kongtou County, hurriedly reminded him. "Zuo Xiaoyou was born in a wealthy family, was an official, and was the leader of this rebellion. Although he is in the county, there will be rebellion and chaos, but there will be no chaos; if he dies suddenly, he will be completely broken and completely destroyed. If it is messed up, the family members up and down will be in trouble..."
"It's not impossible to kill, but we have to wait until we go back." Fan Hu also sighed.
Zhang Changgong immediately nodded knowingly.
"But if that's the case..." Fan Bao sneered. "Can we keep the news from the future? What if the whole county is gone before we go back, and then the soldiers disperse on the road?"
"If we get together again, except for [-]% of the descendants, the rest are all Qilu disciples." Yu Baimei became more and more impatient.
"What's the use of getting together again?" Fan Bao continued to sneer. "A third time to fight Yuncheng? Then Li Shu will find someone to rebel behind him, or go to fight Qi County? Can Qi County go through a lot of trouble? You can see that the rain outside is not very heavy at the moment, but the rain in May has already begun. Don't you know how difficult the logistics are when you come down?"
Including Yu Baimei, no one refuted it. Everyone was either sad or embarrassing, and the situation seemed to be frozen.
But at this moment, Zhang Xuguo, who was interrupted after saying a word, suddenly continued to ask: "Then, do you think Yuncheng already knows the situation in Qi County at this time?"
"It's natural." Jia Wugen sighed. "Even if this matter was not done by Li Shu, he must know about it at this time, and will add fuel to the fire."
Zhang Xuguo nodded slowly, and then continued to ask slowly, with clear and forceful words: "Then do you think Yuncheng will relax at this time?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, only the rustling of the rain in May, as if it was not too urgent.
PS: good night
(End of this chapter)
In late April, the rain fell intermittently, which means that the rainy season...or to be more precise...the Jianghuai region will enter the rainy season as a routine, and it should spread rapidly to the north, making the Jishui River Basin at this node in May. It rained continuously on time.
During the interval of the rain, Niu Da, the leader of the top four in the Western Front camp of the Dragon Gang, led his troops into Dang County. At the time, the other party was tilting his head to look at his head.
It is the human head.
There are hundreds of them, some fresh and bloodshot, and some that have been washed white, black and blue by the rain. They are piled up together, and their hair is knotted and connected by mud and blood stains, which is particularly visually impactful.
But there is no way, this is military merit.
In the battle that evening, Zhang Dalong himself shouted that the people under his banner shared honor and disgrace, at least there was no need to make redundant distinctions, but in subsequent battles and pursuits, military merits would inevitably be judged by their heads... and these people from the Eastern Territory The powerful descendants of the military aristocrats of the former Eastern Qi Dynasty are naturally expert in these things, but Zhang Xing seems to be divorced from the masses.
"If you save enough heads, you must be promoted?"
After watching for a while with his hands behind his back, Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and asked Niu Da who was behind him, his mental state was surprisingly good.
"Correct."
Niu Da, who was already cautious, responded immediately. "Cultivation is just an underwater rule, but the first-level military merits cannot be changed."
"It's natural." Zhang Xing also woke up instantly. "The head is the goal, and the cultivation is the means...so the former is the iron rule, and the latter is the water rule."
Niu Da responded again and again, but glanced at the other party again. He really felt that he hadn't seen him these days, and the leader in front of him looked refreshed a lot.
Of course, Niu Da is ignorant. Taoist Wei, Jia Yue, Yan Qing, and Zhang Jinshu are the ones who have really learned what it means to be radiant overnight-they almost think that someone painted it to prevent mildew during the rainy season. waxed.
"Xu Dalang wants to take in Ma Hu's surrendered soldiers. Last night, he blocked several hundred in a small village. It's almost [-] surrendered soldiers, which is more than expected." Over there, Zhang was still checking the heads. Xing directly bowed his head to speak. "Do you want some surrender?"
Niu Da hesitated to speak, but his gaze was only lingering on the pile of heads over there and Wei Xuanding who was filling out some form with an impatient face on one side.
The meaning couldn't be more clear, he wanted it, but obviously, he followed this wave of war from beginning to end, not to mention military exploits, he didn't touch a single hair, so the trophies on the surface are fine, Regardless of this kind of actual high-level loot, he can't get it.
Take it, who is convinced?
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Xing understood immediately and continued to explain with his head bowed. "In this battle, I and those white knights are the first to win. As long as I come forward and talk about breaking the sky, Xu Dalang will not be able to surpass me to take it for himself... And I am against this matter, but Xu Dalang wants these elites too much. , I reluctantly said the past, but I don't want it, but I can't stop it, so you might as well accept it in my name and put it in your place for use, at least it can be put in Chanyuan as a preparation for Hebei."
Niu Da took a deep breath, thought for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the warriors from the Eastern Capital and the troops stationed in the Kanxi region, so he nodded heavily.
"Then assist Wei Gong to test the head for me!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xing didn't say much, he just patted the other party's shoulder. "Watch out for anyone who kills the good and pretends to be meritorious. You are better at this than me. If you encounter it, just cut it off and replace his own head... After the point is over, bury it quickly, so as not to cause a plague."
As he said that, he left with his hands behind his back, leaving only Niu Da, Wei Xuanding, a pile of heads, blood all over the ground, and a large group of soldiers carrying the heads waiting to be inspected.
Zhang Xing left, but did not return to his residence, but took advantage of the rain to inspect the city for a while.
The county seat of Dang County is not big, and it has changed hands four times in a short period of time. Every time, the army swarmed in. Among them, the first time the officers and soldiers entered, they let go of the looting, so when Zhang Xing first arrived that day, he felt that the place was lifeless. .
But I don’t know if I’m in good spirits and everything is fine. Now I’m walking, but I feel that there seems to be some vitality in the wet weather. Some houses are being repaired, and there is a small amount of smoke that is independent of the army’s garrison. It started to appear... When I walked to a slightly off-road intersection, there was even a rice shop open with a signboard, and several women and children were trembling in line to buy rice.
Zhang Xing was rarely surprised, so he walked in.
After entering, I found out that the store owner recognized me as a local businessman from Jiyin. There was a brother who was the guardian of the gang and was one of the former white knights... This store was originally owned by his family, and others Afraid of dethroning the Dragon Army, worried about another round of looting, he somehow understood in his heart that he was naturally not afraid, but he came directly to open the store because he sensed a business opportunity.
Zhang Xing inquired about the source of the grain, and knew that he had brains. He searched for the old relationship in Chuqiu and Yucheng in turn, and found two big households he was familiar with. The grain from Yucheng was transported here and sold at a higher price, which was more than three times the market price in Jiyin.
Moreover, all they sell are old rice and semolina that are hard to keep.
But there is nothing to say... When the food that Chu Longjun was preparing for a little relief has not arrived, this is the so-called valley of famine. It doesn't matter if the food for life-saving is expensive, as long as it can be eaten.
It can only be said that people are really comprehensive, and Zhang Xing can only encourage them.
After I came out, I was even more moved. People's livelihood is really like water. As long as the upper level maintains a fair position and basic order, the lower level can adjust itself.
Of course, this is only when the water is shallow. When the water is shallow, the water is poured to fill up the pits. When the water is deep, any problems can come out... But at this time, I can still think of the time when the water is deep. It can only be said that Mr. Zhang got used to it before he traveled, and became dazed.
Going forward, Zhang Xingfu went into the streets and alleys again, to check the smoke from the kitchen, check how many houses are vacant, eavesdrop on the conversations inside the closed gates, and even simply check whether the alleys are open or not, until the rain falls again. The hand drilled out and returned to the street.
At this time, someone has been looking for him for a long time.
"The prince is here." Zhang Jinshu panted heavily, and reported.
"It came very quickly." Zhang Xing sighed, neither happy nor angry. "There should be a decision... just don't know if it's good or bad?"
"It should be bad." Zhang Jinshu couldn't wait to add. "Eunuch Wang only brought seven or eight riders here, it doesn't look like he is going to take over the place."
Zhang Xing glanced at the other party, did not say a word, but went directly to the county government where the residence was also inspected, Zhang Jinshu shrank his neck, and quickly shut up and followed... When he arrived there, he saw Wang Gonggong Standing outside in the drizzle with seven or eight white-faced knights who were tall and heavy but had no beards, they were watching those heads in a daze, until Zhang Dalongtou came to the front before he came back to his senses and saluted.
When the two sides met, Zhang Xing didn't say much, and just cut straight to the point in the rain: "Return Dang County to you, do you want it?"
Eunuch Wang was silent for a while, and answered word by word: "If the Chulong gang stops on the line of Yucheng, or even on the line of Chuqiu, we can come back, but if we retreat to the line of Zhouqiao, or even on the edge of Jishui How dare we come back to Jiyin City? Even 5000 people can’t handle it, and Han Yingong will only be in a more embarrassing situation if he comes over.”
This place is the place where military merit points are counted, and the county government is behind it. Taoist Wei and Niu Da preside over here, and many other leaders, gang members, sergeants, and officials are here, and they have come to eavesdrop long ago... Get words, whisper more, and laugh in a low voice.
Although these people didn't dare to speak loudly because of Zhang Xing's increasing authority, they could understand what they were talking about.
And Zhang Xing thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "If you are willing to take it down, we will merge the Meng's rebel army, enter the front line of Chuqiu, and use the Bianshui as the line of defense...Of course, it is only the primary line of defense. If Han Yingong really comes , It’s fine if you can delay for a while... Correspondingly, I don’t want you to do too much, there are all kinds of methods, as long as you can divide his troops and delay his time, it will be considered worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.”
"If that's the case, we are willing to take down these two counties, but we can only take Dang County and Xiayi. If there are too many, we don't have the strength." Wang Gonggong felt relieved, but after a short pause, he asked again. "What about Yucheng?"
"How about handing it over to the government?" Zhang Xing said with sincerity. "Prefect Cao, please send troops to drive us to Chuqiu, take back Yucheng by the way, and separate our two families, so that you can talk to Han Yingong."
Eunuch Wang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this is the benefit of Eunuch Beiya, and this kind of thing can be revealed at once.
"That being the case, let's arrange it like this." Zhang Xing sighed and made a decision.
This is of course a very perfunctory arrangement, but Meng Sangong died in a hurry, the Meng family collapsed too quickly, and the situation changed three times a day. It would be ridiculous to expect some proper arrangements to be made at this time.
At this time, it is better to be fast than slow, and simple rather than complicated.
"Then I'll go back, and I'm going to send someone to pick it up?" Eunuch Wang didn't talk nonsense, so he wanted to leave.
Zhang Xing nodded, then beckoned again to let the other party approach, and then answered in a low voice: "Han Yingong is negotiating with Cao Huangshu, this may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing, you have to have a plan in mind."
Wang Gonggong understood immediately, and then left.
Zhang Xingli stood on the spot, watching the other party leave in the rain, and Zhang Jinshu was already gearing up beside him. Obviously, he was thinking about merging the Meng family.
However, as soon as the people over there left, Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and asked a question that was caught off guard: "Has Yan Qing not come back yet?"
Zhang Jinshu shook his head immediately.
Zhang Xing thought for a while and finally sighed.
Obviously, the improvement of mental state cannot bring about an immediate change in the real situation. There are many things that made him burnt out before, as well as the problems that he should face-the troops will withdraw as soon as they say, and he hopes to see Wang Zhen once before leaving. But Xiao Zhou is not here, Yan Qing is the best candidate to go to Mangdang Mountain.
Not only that, Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan, who performed well in this battle, also followed Xu Shiying south to pursue, because further ahead is the territory of the Huaiyou League.
At the same time, Bai Yousi also left early in the morning without even showing his face... It was not that she was asked to go to Xuzhou to monitor Sima Zheng's marriage, but that she could bring Xiao Zhou out.
After all, although no one can clearly see the specific changes in the situation, the concept of military conflicts, and large-scale military conflicts, is still increasing, and the plan for defending the city of Jiyin has not changed in essence. Therefore, Zhang Xing needs a reliable and capable confidant like Zhou Xingfan by his side.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xing finally looked at Zhang Jinshu who was full of expectation.
In fact, he really wanted to beat the head of the military spy who has been getting more and more impatient recently, but the matter is here, and he doesn't have the time to do these things, so he directly arranged the task and asked the other party to get it from Songcheng, the prefect of Liangjun. Get in touch and get ready for the retreat.
Then, the big leader who had so many affairs went back to the backyard of the county government alone.
But when he returned to the backyard and entered the porch, before returning to the house, he ran into Jia Yue head-on.
Besides, because many backbones participated in the assault of the white knights, the two hundred guards had obvious downsizing and losses. Zhang Xing had already settled the wounded and the dead in Yucheng, and now he came to Dang County. Powerful, Zhang Dalongtou ordered Jia Yue to take the opportunity to add some good players, capable and honest, either.
This is another rush thing.
Just like that, the two talked a little in the corridor, knowing that the matter was not in order, they immediately let the other party go and let the other party continue to work... However, seeing the other party leave and looking at the back of the other party, Zhang Xing felt slightly moved. I remembered something, and then took the initiative to call out to the other party:
"Jia Yue."
Jia Yue turned around in surprise.
"Have you been with me for more than half a year?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"Yes...it will be a year in two or three months." Jia Yue answered immediately.
"Why are you following me?" Zhang Xing walked forward and asked curiously. "Haven't you ever thought about going back to the Northland? Don't you have any ambitions?"
Jia Yue was obviously caught off guard, but after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, "I don't know why I follow you, but if I don't follow you, where am I going? I don't know anyone else, who will I be a thug for?" It's not about being a thug, at least it's less troublesome to follow you. As for Beidi, it's not that you can't go back, but what's the use of going back? You still have an uncle, and having an uncle's family is fundamental, and I can only wander around when I go back. As a hunter in Demon Guard, I can't be a deacon and a priest, and I'm not used to being a deacon and a priest."
"What about ambition?" Zhang Xing emphasized.
"We've said it several times on the boat." Jia Yue raised his head with subtle eyes. "You really don't even remember?"
"Maybe I can remember it later." Zhang Xing remained calm. "Just say it again."
"I think it was Heidi who made me go south." Jia Yue took it seriously. "I think my fate is in the south... At first I thought I could make a name for myself by going south, but I found out when I arrived in Hebei. There are always heroes, so I turn off the fire, just take one step at a time, and eat for nothing...then I just ran into you again, I think it is fate, and later you do so well, I think it is fate gone."
Zhang Xing smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.
In fact, when talking with Bai Yousi that day, Zhang Xing almost complained about the main members of the gang, but a few people never mentioned it, and some of them were really forgotten. Being covered by Xu Shiying, it's just because of some things, he is Zhang Dalong's confidant, so he still has a unique ecological niche in the gang; there are also Bai Yousi who has seen it many times and knows it very well. There is no need to mention, such as Xiong Bonan; there are also some that he does not know how to evaluate, or are more difficult to evaluate, such as Jia Yue.
Of course, Jia Yue can be regarded as a trustworthy confidant, not to mention that the township party itself is a strong relationship these days, let alone a so-called old acquaintance, and more importantly, this person is not an unknown person, but a surrendered prisoner who was captured on the battlefield. Humans are naturally joined as captives.
But this person is obviously a little too boring.
It's not that he didn't talk, and he even had some disputes with other people at the beginning, with a little desire to express himself, but the problem is that the more he went on, the more silent he became, but the execution ability of doing things was still appropriate, which made people feel a little guilty.
In particular, Zhang Xing knew very well that his "old knowledge" was a bit of a misnomer.
Now, the other party gave a religious reason, which is not a good one, but at least it is a reason. Considering the famous theocratic color of the Northland Dangmowei, Zhang Xing was slightly relieved.
It can only be said that things are being fooled, people are perfunctory, and there are few things that make Zhang Xing feel at ease.
Only after a while with Bai Yousi, Zhang Xing, who has recovered a bit, is now very sure that in the rain this summer, he must not be the only one who feels the situation is difficult and feels that no one is worrying. OK alone.
It must be difficult for the emperor's uncle in Dongdu. You don't need to think about it to know that he must be very difficult. The kind of difficult to pick your feet. Han Yingong bargains with him for such things, what kind of royal master is one of the two poles of the empire?
The building will fall, and the single tree will support it. It is not difficult to blame.
The sage in Jiangdu probably felt cold in his heart, why would he run away if he didn't?
And he went to Jiangdu, where he thought he could enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but it didn't work out... His wife was robbed and then released, Zai Zhi and Du Gong were publicly executed, and the servants, palace servants, and furniture were robbed. There are rebellions everywhere, taxes are not coming up, the army is not listening, isn't it difficult?
It is estimated that I have to wake up from time to time at night, and then I am puzzled, why did I fall into this position?Isn't it just killing all the brothers, exiling a bunch of nephews, beheading a few nephews and sons-in-law, and slaughtering a few heroes?Oh, and by the way, the homes of tens of millions of ordinary people were ruined.
But what is that?Why can't the whole world understand him, the land supreme?Why do you have to rebel? !
It is also difficult for the British father in Taiyuan, and it is not difficult for his own daughters to refuse him?And is the great master so easy to prove?If you can't prove it, are you trying to win over those two?But is Grandmaster so easy to win over?When will the time come?
What if Mr. Zhang from Nanpo and the old Taoist priest from Taibai Peak remain unwavering in their single-mindedness, and Uncle Cao remains unchanged for 20 years?Is it possible to sit back and watch the destiny pass by, but the younger generation will take advantage of the opportunity to make things happen?
As for the remaining generals and generals from Youzhou, Hejian, Xuzhou, and Jiangdu, dozens of other rebels in the eastern part of Hebei, local officials from various places, officials from Jiangdu in the eastern capital, and those from Jiangdong. The remnants of the Eight Great Families, the aristocratic families in Hebei and Jin, the gangs in Jianghuai, the Wubao in Shu, the Chamber of Commerce in Jingxiang, the witch clan outside the Great Wall, the Trinity Orthodox Church, the True Fire Sect and Dangmowei, the local lords in the North, and the South The tribes in Lingxi Mountain, as well as the common people all over the world, must be in trouble.
Don't even think about it.
Because this year is destined to be a year when the whole world, from economy to politics to social organization, will collapse... The so-called half collapsed and half disintegrated before, after about a year of gestation and interaction, finally led to the entire building The all-round disintegration is about to enter a climax of disintegration.
Under such circumstances, who in the world can be happy?
Can you Dongyi be happy?Not to mention your internal fighting, the Great Wei collapsed, you also want an economic crisis, okay?
then what should we do?
It depends on who can endure it, who can bravely face difficulties and solve them.
"What did you say? Who turned it against?"
In the army stronghold on Liangshan Mountain, Zhang Xuguo, who once again gathered troops here, was stunned and jumped up from his seat.
It's not his fault for losing his composure. In fact, the core of seven or eight Qilu disciples left in the main hall of the military camp all reacted similarly, and some of them simply froze.
"Zuo Xiaoyou is rebellious." Former Qi County Captain and current Zhonglang General Fan Hu paused, and reported again seriously. "After you were promoted to Tongshou, Zuo Xiaoyou, the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, turned against him... the county town disappeared immediately, many officials, soldiers and family members were captured, and my family's stockade outside the city was also gone. This is my sister Lihua personally. Riding to deliver the letter."
In the lobby of the military village, Zhang Xuguo was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't understand: "But why did he rebel? Why was he persuaded by Li Shu?"
"I feel like he was planning to turn against him before he came to take office, and then just happened to be transferred to our county, and then he got in touch with Li Shu and got together." Fan Hu had a straight face, almost without emotion Transcript. "Because as soon as the dynasty was launched, there was another man surnamed Zuo, who led tens of thousands of people to kill him from Langya, and echoed with him... It was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time."
Zhang Xuguo sighed and sat back. This answer seemed to make him feel a little relieved.
But immediately, he immediately tensed up again, and continued to ask: "Is there any other information? Apart from taking down the county town, how is Zuo Xiaoyou's progress in the county?"
Fan Hu shook his head: "It's just a little rough information that my sister brought when she escaped, and then I guessed it. The specific situation will have to wait a few days until the messenger arrives."
Zhang Xuguo nodded, and there was some commotion around him.
"Don't let the people below know about this." Zhang Xuguo reacted and ordered immediately.
Many core members in the army immediately bowed their heads and applauded, and the commotion was also suppressed by the way... Isn't this person gaining more and more prestige?Even the old nest was taken directly, and it was able to handle it.
It's just that this kind of incident is really unimaginable. It is estimated that Li Shu did not expect such a good thing.
But things have to be turned around again, if you have to be entangled, it seems that there is no entanglement... Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, the eastern region and Hebei are the worst, Jianghuai and Jiangdong are next, Jingxiang and Jin are also in chaos, up and down Where is it not against?
The sheriff who was born in Jing'antai can abandon his official position and rebel, and Guan Longzhong's surname was reversed three years ago, and now there is a remnant on the opposite side... a county magistrate, said to be the powerful family of Pengcheng County, next to Langya Over there, what if it's reversed?
Just thinking about it this way, can this big Wei survive?At least here in the east, is it worth saving?
The so-called loyal ministers and filial sons, what's the point of continuing to do it?To be played as a monkey by that Li Shu?
In fact, among these people, some people have already thought of it...not to mention anything else, if it weren't for Zhang Xuguo, half of the people here would have already become rebels. How could they be loyal ministers and filial sons with him?
That's just a fish, young and ignorant, who yells such things all day long. In Pinglu City, thirty miles away, the prefect Zhang from Dongdu probably wouldn't yell.
Not counting these, almost [-]% of the so-called Qilu soldiers in the surrounding cities and military strongholds are now recruited rebels.
"There's nothing to say." Zhang Xuguo sat down for a few more breaths, and after calming down his thoughts, he spoke again, but gave a solemn order. "Let Taishou Zhang come, and let your sister Lihua come, first report the situation, and then let the army pack their bags while doing reconnaissance, and prepare to return to the division to put down the rebellion..."
This is of course the meaning of the title.
In this way, Li Shu succeeded again, and Zhang Xuguo sealed the news tightly, only saying that there was a rebel Zuo Clan raiding from Langya County and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
However, this time, probably because he was successfully dispatched by Li Shu three times in a row, the morale of the army was low and complaints arose everywhere.
This made Zhang Xuguo's scalp almost numb, with such a military spirit, if he went back and found out that the county and city were gone, he might not be able to fight!
This is not counting.
Three days later, on the first day of May, as a small summer rain by the Jishui River arrived as scheduled, the troops came to Sucheng at the junction of the three counties of Jibei, Lu County, and Dongping County, where they gathered for a while and prepared for the post. Riders and couriers also came in droves as expected, and were stopped by Zhang Xuguo, who had been prepared in advance, at various intersections in the east, south, and north.
Sure enough, the messengers brought a load of bad news.
For example, after Zuo Xiaoyou took control of the county, the entire Qi County was almost unanimously erupted. Many small tyrants raised their banners to echo Zuo Xiaoyou, and the surrounding bandits and rebels also swarmed in... The situation has a tendency to collapse across the board .
The reason doesn't need to look at those proclamations, Zhang Xuguo knows what's going on.
First of all, he conscripted too many soldiers in Qi County and brought many officials into the army, which led to the emptiness inside.
Secondly, it was Zuo Xiaoyou who rebelled as the county magistrate and easily took control of the county city, making some left behind troops and military deployments a laughing stock.
Finally, and most importantly, after he was recognized and rewarded by Dongdu and Jiangdu, he acted proactively. Since last year, he has been fighting outside all year round.
Although there are basically victories and no defeats, in order to reward soldiers, transfer food and grass, and maintain the army, it will inevitably cause waste of financial, material and manpower.At the same time, Lu County and Jibei were raided by thieves, Qi County was also invaded many times, crops were trampled, and cattle, sheep and livestock were plundered.
To put it bluntly, he, Xu Guo, and his army were alone in the eastern border, without substantial support from Jiangdu and Dongdu, which caused Qi County to be overwhelmed.
This matter, Zhang Xuguo is very clear in his heart, and the reason why he must fight Li Shu and the Dragon Gang is for this reason... He has communication with Uncle Cao, and Uncle Cao also hopes He can reach Ji County or Xingyang County, get supplements of supplies and soldiers, and then build a strong and elite field force with him as the core.
Zhang Xuguo and Uncle Cao are running in both directions.
It's a pity that there is a gang of dethroning dragons in the middle, and the situation has deteriorated too quickly.
"The situation in Qi County is too bad."
In the high-level quarrel that could no longer hold back, Zhang Xuguo, who hadn't said a word for a long time, suddenly spoke, which attracted everyone to watch, and it seemed that the sound of rain outside the hall suddenly became obvious. "I estimate that after the troops reach the border, the whole county will fall..."
"According to the manager's wishes, don't you want to save him?" Fan Hu said before his impulsive younger brother... just now his younger brother Fan Bao had already shouted that he would lead the army back because his family village fell.
"Where does the manager mean this?" Yu Baimei protested angrily.
"Do you want me to go back first and find a way to kill Zuo Xiaoyou first?" Zhang Changgong, who was also silent, suddenly spoke out behind the mask.
"Is it possible?" Yu Baimei cheered up.
"No." Jia Wugen, the just-appointed Prime Minister of Kongtou County, hurriedly reminded him. "Zuo Xiaoyou was born in a wealthy family, was an official, and was the leader of this rebellion. Although he is in the county, there will be rebellion and chaos, but there will be no chaos; if he dies suddenly, he will be completely broken and completely destroyed. If it is messed up, the family members up and down will be in trouble..."
"It's not impossible to kill, but we have to wait until we go back." Fan Hu also sighed.
Zhang Changgong immediately nodded knowingly.
"But if that's the case..." Fan Bao sneered. "Can we keep the news from the future? What if the whole county is gone before we go back, and then the soldiers disperse on the road?"
"If we get together again, except for [-]% of the descendants, the rest are all Qilu disciples." Yu Baimei became more and more impatient.
"What's the use of getting together again?" Fan Bao continued to sneer. "A third time to fight Yuncheng? Then Li Shu will find someone to rebel behind him, or go to fight Qi County? Can Qi County go through a lot of trouble? You can see that the rain outside is not very heavy at the moment, but the rain in May has already begun. Don't you know how difficult the logistics are when you come down?"
Including Yu Baimei, no one refuted it. Everyone was either sad or embarrassing, and the situation seemed to be frozen.
But at this moment, Zhang Xuguo, who was interrupted after saying a word, suddenly continued to ask: "Then, do you think Yuncheng already knows the situation in Qi County at this time?"
"It's natural." Jia Wugen sighed. "Even if this matter was not done by Li Shu, he must know about it at this time, and will add fuel to the fire."
Zhang Xuguo nodded slowly, and then continued to ask slowly, with clear and forceful words: "Then do you think Yuncheng will relax at this time?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, only the rustling of the rain in May, as if it was not too urgent.
