Chapter 248: He Ge Xing (2)

"I'm ashamed to say that I've known you for many years, but I haven't asked Brother Wang's name... I beg you to enlighten me." Before Wan Jun, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Xingyue asked Wang Zhen and others with his hand in his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

Wang Gonggong was silent for a moment, but returned with his arms folded: "It's all gone. The experience of Beiya in the past is not worth mentioning before the upside-down trend today. Wang is just about to change his name, abandon the past, and start a new life. If the leader does not give up, please return." Help with a name."

"Brother Wang wants to rehabilitate, of course it's okay, but with your heroic attitude, why do you need others to give you a name?" Zhang Xing laughed even more. "How about making one yourself? I must remember it today."

"How about a single name, Zhuo on the fire table?" Eunuch Wang didn't refuse, and immediately thought of a name.

Zhang Xing was stunned, and turned around out of curiosity... It wasn't that he was uneducated, but that he didn't have such knowledge. In addition, the level of the former Beiya officials was naturally high, so it seemed that someone's education level was a little low.

Of course, seeing this from the rear, Wei Xuanding and Chief Wei Nianxu immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Zhuo Tongzhuo, I have a clear meaning, the prince...Mr. Wang has understood the situation."

Zhang Xing was stunned, and the rest of the leaders and officers with mixed backgrounds seemed to be stunned as well.

On the contrary, Eunuch Wang, that is, Wang Zhuo himself, just shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and then took the initiative to explain: "Chairman Wei thinks highly of me, I use the cooking and boiling water... This experience is really like Being stripped naked and put in a pot and boiled in water is the same...it can be regarded as a warning."

By now, everyone naturally knew what happened that day, and they couldn't help being stunned. Many people seemed to be mocking, but for some reason, few people really laughed.

"It's pretty good." Zhang Xing came to his senses, nodded, and stopped entangled in this matter. "The root of this war lies in the multi-channel encirclement and suppression by the government and army. Our rebel army, led by our Chulong Gang, rose up to resist. On the eastern front, our Chulong Gang fought against it. On the southern front, Brother Wang's soldiers are small. There is no need to fight to the death, but he still took the lead to drag down Han Yingong's main force first, and then feigned surrender and violently exploded Han Yingong's camp, making it impossible for that guy to enter before, disrupting the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, and now he can only wait and see Let's go, I thought Brother Wang and his rebel army were the first to make contributions on the southern front, do you have any objections?"

With these words, he seemed to be flattering Wang Zhuo in the front, but he turned around and consulted with the heroes and officers present.

But everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one refuted it.

Without him, the Mengshi Rebel Army collapsed before the war, and the Huaiyou League did not take action after all. The so-called first contribution on the southern front can only be chosen from among the two groups of Wang Zhuo and his internal servants, and Wang Zhen and his Mangdang Mountain bandits. .

However, paper cannot contain the fire, just as it is well known that Wang Zhuo and his servants turned violent after being boiled in a pot, the news that Wang Zhen was once shaken by Sima Zheng on Mount Mangdang was also early. It has been passed down through some channels on Mangdang Mountain... In this case, even if Mangdang Mountain has made great contributions in the end, Wang Zhen can make up for it, but is it necessary to give the first contribution to him?

Instead of him, is it necessary to pass Wang Zhen, a veritable leader, to Zhou Xingfan and Fan Chef?Bai Yousi captured Lu Changheng, but there's no need to fight for it here, right?
Therefore, no one can refute the theory of first merit.

"so."

Zhang Xing looked around, his eyes swept over all the key figures present, and he continued speaking as a matter of course. "Since everyone has no objection, and since everyone belongs to the Rebel Army, I think that I can recommend Brother Wang to be a leader of the Dragon Gang... What do you guys think?"

The surroundings were suddenly silent, but the army behind them was still coming towards Yucheng City, which was controlled by the friendly army. The so-called hurried steps, well-appointed armor, and long stalks on their shoulders, like a long forest.

Wang Zhuo stood there with a frank expression, still speechless, but his mind quickly turned, and then he quickly made up his mind - he wanted to join the Dragon Gang and become the leader.

The reason is very simple.

After this battle, the surrounding situation will definitely become more intense in the future, and that night, when he and the internal guards made that shocking blow, they also lost a lot... On the one hand, the loss of strength, on the other hand, The possibility of making peace with the court has been completely lost... In this case, he and his internal servants must be approved by the Dragon Gang to continue to survive in the cracks between the Huaiyou League, the Dragon Gang, and the imperial army go down.

There is nothing unacceptable in throwing oneself into the arms of the Dragon Gang, the biggest victor in this battle.

Opponents, or potential dissatisfaction, of course, are many.

Li Shu, Shan Tonghai, Xiong Bonan, and even Xu Shiying, Zhai Qian, Wang Zhen and others felt a little uneasy. For everyone, none of them were happy to have another big leader.

But how?

At this time, who can object?

Such a smart person as Li Shu would object when Zhang Xing just won such a big victory and had such a high prestige?Xu Shiying is as smart, he will object?Zhai Qian's own big boss hasn't become a regular yet, so he will object?As for the chief minister Yanzu, he didn't see him pushing forward, okay?Wang Zhen dared not look up at Zhang Xing the whole time.

But Shan Tonghai, after hesitating for a moment, couldn't help but take half a step forward, wanting to speak.

But at this time, Bai Yousi smiled while holding the long sword.

This seemed to make the scene that originally wanted to make a sound quiet again, and Shan Tonghai also remained silent.

However, after a while, someone still spoke seriously.

"Zhang Longtou, the big boss is such an important matter, do you want to wait for this battle to be completely over, and everyone gather together to discuss it." Zimian Tianwang Xiong Bonan took a step forward and asked seriously.

"It makes sense." Zhang Xing nodded, but shook his head again. "However, my proposal at this time did not break the rules...because Chief Wei, Li Longtou and I were all there, and only Wang Wulang and Cheng Dalang were absent from the big bosses. The number of people was completely in line with the rules...more importantly The most important thing is that the leader Wang Zhuo has made great achievements, since he has seen it, why wait so long, procrastinating, and not rewarding him for his merits, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of heroes in the world to serve him?"

What he said seemed to be invited by Wang Zhuo himself.

But it still worked, and Xiong Bonan shut up immediately.

At this point, Wei Xuanding, who had weighed the pros and cons, finally stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and raised half his forearm: "If you follow the rules, then I, the chief, will speak first...I agree."

Zhang Xing immediately went to see Xiong Bonan who had flinched.

Xiong Bonan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I agree."

As soon as this remark came out, several smart people around each breathed out, Li Shu and Xu Shiying immediately opened their mouths, expressing their agreement...Seeing this, Qingzhi was unstoppable, Shan Tonghai also agreed, and Zu Chenyan finally showed up Expressed his opinion, but only nodded in agreement.

In this way, the former father-in-law of Beiya, today's Wang Zhuo, after meeting Zhang Xing in the north of Yucheng, officially became the leader of the Dragon Gang, and according to the rules, he belonged to the left wing.

So far, Zhang Dalong didn't go too far, but cheerfully greeted everyone to enter the city.

Besides, this is not the first time Zhang Xing has come to Yucheng, but this time he came here, compared to the last time, he showed a more master attitude... Once he entered, he first ordered Xu Shiying and Zhai Qian to take over the city defense, and then let Xiong Bonan, Zhang Jinshu cleaned up the military discipline, and then asked Wei Xuanding and Yan Qing to assist Bai Yousi to check the first-level military achievements he had obtained in the previous battle... After the order was given, he simply found a small courtyard and lived there directly, and let the rest of them go to rest.

Not even a gathering banquet is held.

During the whole process, Wang Zhen was scratching his head and scratching his head until now, seeing that only Xiao Zhou was chasing after him, he finally didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and passed away.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you for some things." Zhang Xing turned around and saw Wang Zhen following in, but he didn't even sit down, so he turned his head behind his back in the yard and looked at each other. "Let's not say that Sima Erlong was loyal to you, but he just said that he didn't care about his intentions in everything. After all, you came here with your troops, and even blocked Lu Changheng in Yucheng. You always have meritorious deeds... So I want to neglect you, because once some things are discussed publicly, it will not stop other people from attacking on the spot, but will embarrass you."

Wang Zhen woke up and felt relieved, but since he came in, he couldn't leave directly, he always felt that he should say something, so he cupped his hands and said: "It's just one thing, third brother, I didn't lie about my loyalty to you! "

Zhang Xing nodded immediately: "I never doubted our loyalty at all. That day, we made a promise to meet each other. I remember it so far, and I will never forget it in the future."

Wang Zhen was completely speechless, wanted to say something more, but really didn't know what else to say, so he could only bow his hands to Zhang Xing and Zhou Xingfan one by one, then turned and left.

Zhang Xing bowed his hand in return.

Xiao Zhou just watched the other party leave coldly, and then turned his head bitterly: "Third Brother, even though that is the case, are you going to let him do this?"

"If you were me, how would you deal with him?" Zhang Xing thought for a while, then asked in turn.

Xiao Zhou thought about it for a while, and felt at a loss... The problem is indeed the case. Wang Zhen has a problem. He has wavered in his fundamental position, but he has not taken any concrete actions. After the decisive battle, he successfully pursued and caused damage...the so-called merits and demerits.

Even, just talking about his standpoint, Wang Zhen is half of his own people, and in the Dragon Gang, there are Li Shu, Fang's uncle and nephew, Shan Tonghai, a powerful faction whose public and private are secretly opposed, and even Many local wealthy households, landlords, and descendants who just eat their own food and don’t need to ask about their standpoints.

In this case, it is okay to deal with Wang Zhen, but isn't it weakening his own power in disguise?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou felt powerless, but in the end he couldn't help but feel angry: "I can't even fight against the violent Wei, so I can't say that I'm not as good as those under Li Shu."

"This is reasonable, but have you ever thought about it? If Wang Zhen was not in Mangdang Mountain, but in our Dragon Clan from the very beginning, in Jiyin and Dongjun, would he still be undecided?" Zhang Xing Hearing this, he laughed instead. "Conversely, if Li Shu's Kansai confidants independently control an army in Mangdang Mountain, won't they be shaken? In the final analysis, loyalty is real, and wavering is also real, but they shouldn't be overestimated. People look down on the environment. Let me say that a small part of the problem lies with Wang Zhen, but most of it lies in the isolation of Mangdang Mountain."

"So... what is the third brother going to do?" Xiao Zhou was thoughtful, unable to ask.

"I went south this time. Apart from getting rid of Han Yingong, the most important thing is to bring Mount Mangdang and the internal servants under the direct control of the Dragon Gang, and then swallow Chuqiu, Yucheng, Dangxian, and Xiayi all together. ..." Zhang Xing responded calmly. "The internal guards are weak, and they don't have the ability to survive independently after this battle. One sentence is enough, but in Mount Mangdang, they need to pay equal attention to kindness and power, and use some means... I asked them to test their military achievements, and that's why."

This time, Zhou Xingfan was completely awakened.

That night, because Zhang Xing did not hold a banquet, all the generals could only find their own place in Yucheng, which had already emptied half of the city. , some people found empty dwellings, and they were in groups of three or four, each communicating with each other.

Wang Zhen was not confused this time, although Zhang Xing had no intention of living there, he still took the initiative to give up the county government office and handed it over to Wei Xuanding, while he moved to Cangcheng himself.

And that night, after eating some food indiscriminately, he went straight to bed, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, Cook Fan suddenly came to look for him again.

"What's the matter?"

When he was away from home, everything was casual, so Cook Fan came directly to Wang Zhen's bedroom, and the latter just stood up with a frown, and crossed his legs on the couch to ask.

"The more I think about it, the more wrong I am." Cook Fan said seriously as he sat down beside the bed while rubbing his belly. "Master... tell me, since that guy swallowed up the servants so easily, will he swallow us up tomorrow morning when he checks his military achievements?"

Wang Zhen thought for a while, then seriously asked on the bed: "So what if you swallow it?"

Cook Fan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"So, so what if you swallow it?" Seeing this, Wang Zhen continued to ask. "Haven't you forgotten that I was the leader of the Dulong Gang? I was there when the gang was first established."

Cook Fan finally snarled: "But the Mangdang Mountains are just bandits, not members of the Dragon Gang..."

Wang Zhen thought for a while, then continued to ask: "You don't want to recognize me as the master?"

"Of course not." Cook Fan shook his head quickly. "I want the big master to take us and not get involved..."

"How could I not get involved?" Wang Zhen was helpless and somewhat incomprehensible. "And it wasn't you who told me before that officials are officials and thieves are thieves?"

Chef Fan sighed: "But it's true that a thief is a thief, and a bandit is a bandit... and we have made meritorious deeds, as long as we grit our teeth, he will swallow us up in public .”

"I probably understand what you mean." Wang Zhen also sighed. "Anyway, you want to hold on to the Mangdang Mountain area, and then make up your own way to survive?"

"Yes." Cook Fan was taken aback, and immediately nodded. "That's what it means."

"But why can't you go with Brother Zhang?" Wang Zhen asked earnestly.

"Not only the third master Zhang, but also the second master Sima and the white heroine, I don't want to go with him." Cook Fan said earnestly. "These are big men, with ideas and abilities..."

"Isn't it good to have ideas and skills?" Wang Zhenruo thought.

"That's good, but I'm not capable, and neither are the bastards in the mountains. Those who are incapable follow those who are capable, and they will be treated as stepping stones in a daze, and their lives will be wasted." Cook Fan The words became more earnest.

"I understand your reasoning. Once you succeed, your bones will perish." Wang Zhen finally came to his senses. "What do you want from me?"

"It is proposed tomorrow, so that everyone can go back to Mount Mangdang." Cook Fan answered seriously. "That person understands in his heart, once you say it, he will understand."

Wang Zhen nodded hastily: "Brothers, if you want to leave, I will do my best. In the worst case, I will stay and let Brother Zhang send another person to take care of things on the mountain... It will never destroy our loyalty on the mountain."

Hearing this, Cook Fan finally felt a little relieved, but left with his stomach in his hands.

As soon as the person left, Wang Zhen looked at the large and small crescent moons outside the window, and felt that it was so hard for people to enter the rivers and lakes, even maintaining their loyalty. It was really unexpected before. sleep.

In fact, this night, it was probably rare to enter the city, and the news of Han Yingong's escape gave everyone a reassurance, so many people began to worry about it. Cook Fan and Wang Zhenlai discussed it once and another time. Although Fang Yanlang Li Shu, Du Caiqian and other confidants were pointed out by Zhang Xing to clean up the battlefield in Lihu, but there was still a big leader Zu Chenyan beside Li Shu who took the initiative to care.

Zu Chenyan was born in a famous family in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. He was a master in literature. He was known as a gifted scholar in his early years, but because his father was the last powerful official in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, he had a bad reputation, so he was publicly humiliated by the pilgrims who had just ascended the throne at that time. Then for decades, he could only be a low-ranking official with the status of the first family in the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

This incident not only reflects the basic ethics of the Great Wei's adherence to Guanlong's standard, but also reflects the noble character of the pilgrims. A small side effect is that this Mr. Zu has been extremely aggrieved in the past ten years, At the same time, he had to live in the state and county, doing dirty work for more than ten years in a so-called noble body.

So, he was very worried about some things, and he didn't dare to make a gesture in public, so he could only look for Li Shu in private.

"There is no way."

Faced with the worries of his supporters, Li Shu seemed a little frank. "There is nothing in the world that can give you the most prestige than fighting. I didn't follow up in Yuncheng. They won in Lihu, which gave them the strength to make a move... At this time, it is asking for trouble. eat."

"Then don't care about it?" Zu Chenyan sat on the other side of Li Shu, worried. "I heard that this person was born in the army in the north, and he usually behaves a bit arrogantly. Once this person gains power in the gang and pulls all the reckless and picky people up, we people will be in trouble when the time comes. Where are we going?"

Hearing this, Li Shu smiled in no hurry: "It's not that we don't stop him, but we have to wait for him to make a mistake."

"How to say?" Zu Chenyan couldn't ask.

"Things have to be done according to the rules." Across the table, Li Shu explained seriously. "People's hearts have a direction... For example, after a battle, what to do is to reward and punish and expand the results of the victory... At this time, it is wrong to do other things and not do these two things. We can bring it up. But on the other hand, if someone is doing these two things, even if they have their own selfishness in the middle, that person will be dissatisfied, and there is no room for objection, because jumping out to object at this time is to object to the entire Dethrone the Dragon Gang."

After thinking about it for a while, Zu Chenyan thought of something: "For example, today's events?"

"Naturally." Li Shu answered seriously. "Today's affairs are both rewards and punishments and to expand the results of the victory, and the prince is indeed credited... Speaking out at this time will not please you, and you will only be caught by the other party and hurt your feet, which will hurt us in turn. .”

"But." Zu Chenyan was still uneasy. "What if he never made mistakes? What if he could always expand his side while taking the overall situation into consideration?"

Li Shu was silent for a while, before he said seriously: "Of course this is the last thing I want to see, but if it is true, it is not impossible."

"How to say?"

"It's very simple. This person is ambitious. Whether it is to secure the world or cut off the violent Wei, he can always do things non-stop, but whenever he does the next thing, there will always be involvement and dissatisfaction. We will win over those who are dissatisfied, and when there are more dissatisfied people, it will be time to speak." Li Shu said seriously. "This method is actually very easy to do, but it seems a bit secretive to some extent, and this method is used to suppress him. In the future, other people can follow suit to deal with us... unless it is said that we are breaking up and we are going to separate. , use this method to make a whole round, and make another example."

Zu Chenyan was thoughtful, but couldn't help but stood up, walked around the table, and asked Li Shu almost next to him: "Then Li Gong, do you think the current situation of the Dragon Clan is here, and will it be in the future?" Disband or split up? I think that the gang is too complicated, and they can be united when they are suppressed by the court, but once they expand and expand, they will not be able to hold back."

Li Shu remained silent, just shook his head, but he didn't know whether he wanted to say that would not be the case, or he didn't want to say it, or he didn't think it should be said.

It was noisy all night, and there seemed to be exchanges and discussions everywhere, but Zhang Xing just let it go.

The next day, everyone came to the county government office in Yucheng where the wall had been torn down, and began to reward them for their achievements in the previous battle on the southern front.

Zhang Xing asked Wei Xuanding and Li Shu to sit side by side together, and then put the military merit books that he had worked so hard on yesterday in front of him, and asked Yan Qing to call those who made meritorious deeds on Mount Mangdang to come forward...Of course, in this scene, only those men who have made great achievements can be called. Dangshan has its own master and a man of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the first person to be called up was actually Cook Fan.

"Old Six." Zhang Xing smiled slightly when he saw the person coming. "You are here to take the credit for Yucheng's decision-making. I have already thought about it. Yucheng will be handed over to you. According to the rules of our Dragon Clan, how about being a rudder master and county magistrate?"

Cook Fan was inexplicably flustered, so he hurried to ask, "I'm a cook on Mount Mangdang, why did I become the rudder master and county magistrate?"

Li Shu and others also looked sideways.

"You are loyal, have a stand, and understand the hardships of the people. How can you not be a rudder leader and county magistrate?" Zhang Xing replied with a smile. "As for the civil affairs, Jiyin has its own explanation. You can go to Chief Wang Zhuo Wang to ask for some people who can read and write, and find some old local officials. There is no reason why you can't do it wrong."

"That's not what I meant." Cook Fan quickly explained. "I came out to be the county magistrate, what about Mangdang Mountain?"

"What Mangdang Mountain is there at this time?" Zhang Xing said with a smile. "From today onwards, the eastern half of Liang County will be the territory of our Dragon Army, and we will leave 80 people on Mount Mangdang as outposts."

Cook Fan was taken aback, looked at Wang Zhen who was also stupefied, remembered what he said last night, and wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Xingfan on the side suddenly scolded with a straight face: "Fan Lao Liu... you just stand here with your stomach upright, don't you let the other brothers wait hard? Everyone fought hard and stabilized the southern line. He traveled to four or five counties and made contributions, but the third brother is a man who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. The masters go down the mountain to be the rudder master and the deputy rudder master, and the heroes take the law protector and deacon. How good is it for everyone to make their own way? Hurry up and thank you, and go to rectify the city defenses and appease the people in the south of the city who have suffered wars, and don’t use your fat body to block everyone’s way."

When the first half of this remark was said, in the square in front of the county government office, all the backbones on Mangdang Mountain cheered up, or pushed each other, or couldn't help raising their feet, all looked forward, and thought in their hearts. Thinking about it, he might be a county magistrate or a team leader.

And Cook Fan heard the movement behind him, turned his head and saw this scene, and finally felt relieved - he just had some ideas, how to stop the big guys from chasing their names?

You think that everything will be successful, but everyone's heads are hanging on their belts, and they just want to follow Mr. Zhang to make a fortune and seek a future.

I'm standing in the middle with all my fat, isn't that blocking everyone's way?

At this point, Fan Chef was embarrassed, and his eyes swept over Wang Zhen who had the same complex expression, Zhang Xing who looked at it with a smile, Zhou Xingfan who squinted and urged, and Li Shu and others who did not know when to restrain their expressions, but their faces were normal. He didn't even dare to decline the position, but gritted his teeth and accepted.

After all, at this time, even if he resigned from his official position, he would also be hated by the brothers in Mangdang Mountain... Besides, where can he go after resigning?

Zhang Xing saw the other party bowing down, and then looked at the expressionless Li Shu, and felt very at ease in his heart—condescending, pointing out the overall situation, dignified and dignified, even if some people have some thoughts, so what?
Do you really think you don't know these people were running around last night?

However, I have carried out the most solid management, won the most difficult battle, and now I have reshuffled the cards in a way that represents the interests of the most people.

who?Why not follow your own rules?Besides, I never forced anyone, I just opened up the way, let you choose, you weigh the pros and cons and go ahead, isn't it just like a river rushing to the sea, it is a matter of course?

PS: A list of the staff structure of the Chulong Gang was printed in color, and Xiaoyu flushed her ass softly and sat on it. As a result, half of the Chulong Gang disappeared.
