Delong

Chapter 249: He Ge Xing (3)

The so-called battle on the southern front is only the secondary battlefield of this battle, and the reason why Zhang Xing and the army of the Dragon Gang are here is only because they need to drive Han Yingong away.

The real follow-up and impact of this battle will never stop there.

Therefore, the requisition of the four counties in the eastern part of Liang County, the merger of Mangdang Mountain and the internal servants were destined to be just an appetizer, and Zhang Xing's use of this post-war authority was also destined to be just a small test.

In fact, after stopping in Yucheng for one day, after confirming that Han Yingong had fled to Huaiyang County, Zhang Xing only waited for another day, completed the factual separation of the internal servants and Mangdang mountain bandits, and charged two groups of people For the essence, after the troops were stationed in four counties, they chose to go north.

The hardest ones here are Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan. Let them head north first, then head south in a hurry. Now that the army is going back, they are going to Huankou Town to find Du Pozhen... But such a reaction Repeatedly, it is true that the military situation is like this... and Zhang Xing also needs someone to communicate with Du Pozhen to explain the whole story and process of the battle of Lihu.

This was not because Du Pozhen and the Huaiyou League did not know Zhang Xing's majesty, but because he was too powerful and caused Huaiyou League to misjudge.

Sure enough, after turning around and going north, the army hadn't left Liang County yet, and the spillover effect of this battle had already appeared.

Cao Wang, the prefect of Liang County, sent someone...Of course, it is also possible that the prefect of Liang County just acted on its own. Who knows if the prefect of Cao Cao has a good leg... In short, the Liang County government took the initiative to send people to Chuqiu to wait for the returning Longjun to pay homage. Zhang Xing, Zhang Dalongtou and the core of the Dragon Army, came up and expressed their beautiful expectations of continuing to get along with Zhang Sanye and the Dragon Gang.

To be honest, I was short of congratulations to the dethroning dragon army for defeating the official army in the battle of Lihu!

Of course, Zhang Xing also looked back on the traditional friendship between the two sides with emotion, and sincerely reiterated some principles of the two sides' harmonious exchanges in the past.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement amidst the dumbfoundedness of many leaders and officers who saw this scene for the first time, and agreed to create a peaceful environment for the people of Liang County to live a good life.

An episode, not worth mentioning.

The heat of June was steaming, the army entered Jiyin, headed straight for Lihu and turned back, and the influence of the Lihu-Lishan battle began to spread on a large scale. The southern region and the northern region of Jianghuai have already spread.

Of course, there must have been mistakes, exaggerations and cover-ups in the news during this process.

However, in the early stage, the Delong army lost the city and abandoned the land, and in the later stage, they survived from death. In the decisive battle, they defeated the Qilu and Xuzhou officers of equal strength. Han Yingong, but it is an iron-like fact.

It is also enough to explain the situation.

Otherwise, where is Liang Jun reiterating the ghost's traditional friendship?

When the news spread, people were shocked.

The rebel armies in the Central Plains, Hebei, and Eastern Regions, which had fallen into a low ebb due to the pressure of the imperial court, almost recovered one after another. Countless messengers of the rebel army and heroes of the rivers and lakes came straight to Jiyin and Dongjun.Rich local households and businessmen in the surrounding areas also got rid of their pre-war shrinkage and became active one after another.

This is a scene that has never been seen before.

Of course, it is only natural that the court officials and troops in the Central Plains and the Eastern Territory were shaken, and the local officials flinched and panicked for a while.

There are also the generals in this battle... Zhang Xing and Li Shu have long been famous traitors all over the world, Bai Yousi, Sima Zheng, Wei Xuanding, Xu Shiying, Wang Shuyong, Niu Da, and even Wang Zhuo , Zhou Xingfan, even Shang Huaizhi, Yu Baimei, and even more outrageous names such as Li Qingchen, Lu Changheng and others began to circulate.

According to some popular sayings in the eastern capital, Li Twelve Lang had realized that there was going to be a big war, so he was deliberately captured. Lang's words, choosing to go north overnight, this battle must be a victory for the government and the army; including Lu Changheng's surrender, there are new versions... The story begins with him starting from Jijun, diving across the river, and then inviting Han Yingong to go north. , to lead five thousand people to go north alone and be blocked, and then Han Yingong was blown up by the internal guards and fled in embarrassment, leaving only a lone army, and finally he was surrounded by the dethroned dragon army and chose to surrender on the condition of the following attributes. Enough to make all court Zhongliang sigh.

It's just a pity that Zhang Xing made up what these two people said, and it took about a quarter of an hour to make Han Yingong bear the anger of Dongdu, so that he was in a dilemma in Huaiyang.

In the end, I didn’t expect that the story of these two people was so in line with the mainstream feudal values, especially the story of Lu Changheng, who was taken as real by the idiot Hei Shou from an unknown county and sent to Dongdu, so that the effect was good. Surprisingly, there was a public outcry.

Of course, none of the old military leaders in Guanlong in Dongdu believed it!
Cao Zhongcheng himself didn't believe it!

In other words, Cao Lin heard that the front line was defeated at this time, Zhang Xuguo and Zhang Changgong died in battle, tens of thousands of Qilu officers and soldiers were surrounded and wiped out, Han Yingong was bombed by a group of servants, walked away in embarrassment, almost dumbfounded, and then on the spot. If you lose your composure in the Nanya meeting hall, how can you care about such trivial matters?

"I do not believe!"

In the Nanya meeting hall, a roar suddenly sounded, but soon, a strange thing happened, and the second half of the sentence seemed to be covered by something out of thin air, and it immediately became low.

A few people from the so-called Eight Nobles of the Eastern Capital who sat in the hall even had tinnitus.

And they all knew that this was not an illusion, it was that the great master who had lost his composure was using his true energy to isolate his gaffe words, so as to prevent the guards outside from hearing them and causing bad influence.

However, this kind of behavior is somewhat suspected of deception.

Because, to put it bluntly, the people Cao Lin really worried about would probably have their feet in this meeting room, and the actions just now were of no use other than to show that he had indeed lost his composure.

Sure enough, Cao Zhongcheng quickly removed the barrier of true qi, causing everyone in the meeting hall to breathe out a long breath involuntarily.

However, although Cao Lin withdrew the barrier of true qi, and then slowly sat back in his seat according to the position between his chest and abdomen, he remained silent for a long time. People opened their mouths with concern in their eyes, but mentioned a past event:
"On that day, Gao Yang, a general of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, died at the front of the army of Emperor Wu of the former dynasty. The news spread to Emperor Wu of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. According to the records, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, lost his composure in the court, and said that he was frightened. I always thought that was It was whitewashed in the book, because people like Emperor Wu of the Eastern Qi Dynasty have always been extremely arrogant, how could they be so rude about the gains and losses of a general? People lose their hearts!"

Everyone around is silent.

Cao Lin also continued to speak slowly:
"This defeat is extraordinary, it is very similar to the loss of Gao Yang by Emperor Shenwu of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

"One thing, it is a pity and pain to lose such a loyal general! You must know that Zhang Xuguo's bravery is no less than lofty! Loyalty is even worse!

"Secondly, the dethroning of the Dragon Army has become a serious problem, and the eastern border has become troubled since then, just like Gao Yang's defeat and Nanyang's loss. From now on, the dynasty can directly reach Jingxiang from the eastern capital, overwhelming the downstream!
"Three things. Originally, the imperial court was in troubled times. Looking around, it was not a problem in one place. It was difficult for a while. It was hard to gather a siege. One day's defeat would make the whole world depressed... The same is true for the high-profile things that day. No matter how difficult it is for the Eastern Qi Dynasty to compete with the previous dynasty for the flow of the Han River, it can only win from the east."

At this point, Cao Lin took a breath, but still couldn't help gnashing his teeth, feeling resentful for a while, but he could only close his eyes and be silent.

Others, including Cao Lin's actual opponents, all remained silent.

Politics is so interesting.

As soon as the sage left, he easily abandoned the world, and careerists and rebel bandits all appeared, so they are not careerists, and now they have new calculations in their hearts.For example, in today's Eastern Capital City, everyone seems to be one family, but in fact they are divided, each with their own ghosts.

Even if you have to say a public enemy, it is Cao Lin, the grand master, uncle of the emperor, and Jing'an Taichung Cheng.

Because he is really capable, willing, famous, and orderly, who may reintegrate Kansai and continue to unite under the banner of Wei.

But everyone is unwilling to go back, and they all want to take advantage of the dominant position before the reshuffle to reach a higher level.

This is why there are those behaviors that desperately drag the emperor's hind legs.

As for Kansai Lao Ge Zhang Xuguo and his Qilu Army, in the eyes of everyone in the Eastern Capital, they were originally private armed forces established by Uncle Cao bypassing the Guanlong system, and they were the most rebellious and intolerable things.

But now, Zhang Xuguo was defeated and killed, the officers and soldiers in the eastern region were completely wiped out, and Uncle Cao was frightened, but they also unexpectedly felt a chill.

After all, although everyone thinks that those bandits are destined to be only leftovers from the reorganized Guanlong army in the future, the people from the old land of Dongqi and the former land of Nanchen are definitely not Guan Long's opponents...but who wants to be buried with the leftovers?

An official is an official, and a thief is a thief!
With a slight ebb and flow, the situation between the enemy and the enemy will be reversed.

"What I mean is..." In the meeting room full of breathing, Duan Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth. "It's time to renew the title, to commend it, to take a rest... I heard that Zhang Xuguo's death was heroic enough, so I can't make people feel cold...Han Yingong pulled back, so that he can be restrained, change to a proper person, and he's done. It doesn't matter whether it's Nanyang or Liangjun, just call out again."

"I do not believe!"

Seeing that Duan Wei not only did not make trouble, but actively cooperated, the people around were quite relieved, and the atmosphere in the hall also eased a little, but at this moment, the hall suddenly yelled again, attracting everyone's attention, but there was no sound.

Without him, it was Dongdu, who had been silent when Uncle Cao was so heartbroken, who was staying behind Zhang Shiben.

It's pitiful to say that everyone is shaken and afraid because Uncle Cao lost his confidant, but no one cares at all, this one lost his parent and child.

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Shiben plucked up his courage and stood up, his eyes were red. "My son is brave. Even if he is not said to be invincible among his peers, he is enough to protect himself. How can the bandit army kill him? What kind of bullshit is the purple-faced king? He has never heard of it! What is formation to fight? Outside of Guan Long, no pills are allowed at all. The above-mentioned cultivators will live in this place forever, how powerful can the army be?! If my son dies, it must be the work of that bastard of the Bai clan!"

"What did you say?!" The front was okay, but when he heard the last few words, Bai Hengjin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, glared on the spot and came back cursing. "Can you say that again!"

Zhang Shiben wanted to speak, but he didn't dare.

"No." Duan Wei hurriedly stood up to persuade him, but he didn't know how to continue when he opened his mouth. "Bai Sanniang has a plan in her heart, she..."

"I don't know if it was Bai Sanniang who did it, but Xiong Bonan is indeed a newcomer of the Hebei generation in the past few years. His future is limitless. Putting him back on the list of talents is just a kind of Strategies." After finally recovering his breath, Cao Lin also spoke after a moment of hesitation. "As for Zhang San, who is going to underestimate him now? Because he is a soldier from the North? Isn't Heidi a soldier from the North? Even here in Guanlong, isn't there a few local soldiers who have shot and killed Got a foothold?"

When Zhang Shiben heard this, why didn’t he know that the great master told him from the basic technical level that his son might indeed die as in the battle report, and the battle report was delivered in a hurry. Eighty-nine is true - his genius son died at the hands of Chulong's helper.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shiben stood for a while, but suddenly fell back to his seat, and then began to cry loudly, crying out of breath, crying with tears.

As for the other people in Dongdu Baguizhong, seeing this scene, they also felt bored. After looking around, they left the meeting hall voluntarily and went to work in various public houses in the outer courtyard so that they could continue to deal with the matter.

Others didn't mention it, but after a while, Niu Hong, the chief executive, drew up the seal and compensation documents for the dead, and then came to look for Cao Lin.

As a result, when he came here, he was surprised to find that Cao Lin was just sitting there with a mournful expression on his face.

Niu Hong sighed in his heart, why didn't he know that Emperor Cao's attack this time was indeed frightening, but his identity, status and the situation in Dongdu prevented him from expressing it as freely as Zhang Shiben.

At this point, Niu Xianggong couldn't hold back. While submitting the document, he complained a little: "Cao Zhongcheng...you don't need to explain just now."

The meaning of this is very straightforward. Guan Long's people are fluctuating, there are countless ambitious people, and there are many who want to take advantage of the situation, but the Bai and Zhang families are undoubtedly the most powerful tributary at present... Or, Cao Lin and Dong are the most powerful. What is taboo is the confluence of Bai and Zhang, and the integration of Jin and land.

If he could point to this matter just now, it is confirmed that Bai Yousi killed Zhang Changgong, and the two families started to quarrel, Cao Lin's life will be much easier.

Of course Cao Lin knew what the other party was referring to, and he also sighed: "I don't even bother to do this kind of thing... Bai Sanniang is hateful and deplorable, but Zhang Shiben died for the country, and Zhang Changgong died for the country. What about a fake enemy?"

Niu Hong, in turn, nodded with emotion... In fact, he, Su Wei, and Gu Yi are willing to support Cao Lin, isn't it because he likes the other party's principles and rules?

At this point, there is no need to say too much. Seeing that Cao Lin had approved the document, Niu Hong also took it, and prepared to hand it over to Bai Hengjin for disposal.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, a sentence came from behind him: "This old man does things in a dignified way, and both honor and disgrace are added to him. Although he can't be called upright, he also asks himself to keep his secrets. Why is it so difficult? Is it because of lack of strength?" , or is it not a name, or is it not a virtue?"

Niu Hongli stood inside the door, thought for a while, and wanted to turn around and tell the other party that it might be Ni who is dishonest, but it is that saint who is not worthy of virtue, and it is Da Wei who is not strong enough... But you are too impartial, Treating the three as one thing will make it difficult to move forward.

However, he didn't open his mouth. Instead, he bowed his head and left with the document in hand.

The rainy season in the Jishui River Basin has passed, and the heat has turned to transpiration. It is sweltering everywhere, and the river ditches and siltation everywhere are almost visible to the naked eye.

However, this does not delay Zhang Xing after condensing the alchemy, Zhang Dalongtou's side is always cold, and there are countless iced sour plum soups to drink, it may be for this reason that everyone likes to go to Zhang Dalongtou's side.

Bai Yousi, on the other hand, has been avoiding the internal affairs of the Dragon Clan since he came back. He just writes and draws in the military camp and rarely shows up.

On this day, the newly reassembled Dragon Gang was under the shed of the military village, just like yesterday afternoon, fighting for military merits all morning... It was really a struggle, every detail on the battlefield was covered by countless people from different directions After discussing it, everyone was blushing... This one said who was the leader of the officer, and the other said whoever was wrong where the crash happened.

And Zhang Xing was also happy to see this.

First, this is equivalent to a post-war summary. Second, rewards and punishments are clearly the foundation of the army. Third, he needs those grassroots officers and soldiers to bypass the leader and directly explain to him to strengthen the importance of the organization and his position.

But to be honest, this process is intense, impatient, and fearful of omissions for middle and lower-level officers, but for high-level officers, especially the big bosses and most of the bosses under the structure of the Dragon Gang, It seems meaningless...the latter pursues expansion and a rising tide.

Of course, like Xiong Bonan, he felt that fighting for one or two heads and the capture of the military flag would ruin his loyalty.

There are also some leaders who are obviously civil servants, and they are also impatient.

The helmsmen in those places were in charge of logistics in the front, and in charge of preaching during the war, and their credit was not the same as that of these soldiers. At this time, they were bored and just watched with cold eyes.

But no matter what, this kind of thing is coming to an end this morning. After the discussion of the last group leader-level collective merit dispute is settled, everyone heaves a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xing took the lead, and everyone walked out of the wooden shed, ready to do another serious and important event in the afternoon.

But before leaving the army village, Zhang Dalong stopped suddenly, and asked in surprise, "What's that sound?"

Everyone held their breath, and immediately sensed the sound, and immediately understood, and then a leader who was very close to Zhang Dalongtou, Chai Xiaohe, came to say: "Report to Zhang Longtou, it's the soldiers who surrendered crying."

Zhang Xingruo thought: "Why are you crying? How did I remember that all the wounded were released? Did we abuse them?"

"Of course not." Chai Xiaohe said with a smile. "These soldiers are native soldiers of the eastern border with battlefield experience...these will be most useful when they go down the river to take the surrounding areas of Qilu...all the leaders are just looking at them as treasures, how dare they abuse them? They are just used as usual as civilians. "

"Then why are you crying?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask.

"Should be crying for people like Zhang Xuguo and Yu Baimei." Liang Jiading, the leader next to him, asked anxiously, and didn't hide any more. "Zhang Longtou doesn't know. They've been crying all these days when you're not here. They're crying for Zhang Xuguo and the others. But I reckon they were also afraid of being slaughtered at first."

"Indeed." Xiahou Ningyuan, another leader who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, also hurriedly said. "Although Zhang Xuguo's leadership of soldiers can't be said to love soldiers like sons, but rewards and punishments are clear, orders are prohibited, and they are quite prestigious, so they cry all the time."

"No." Zhang Xing thought for a while, then shook his head immediately. "I didn't cry so much yesterday... If I just miss Zhang Xuguo, the crying should be worse every day."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but also puzzled.

Chai Xiaohe, who was robbed of the conversation at the beginning, blurted out an explanation at this time: "Everyone is confused, don't forget what you were doing before, and crying again today, of course, is because they just dug a hole and threw it into the hole. The corpses of their former robes... Seeing the tragedy, they can't help mourning."

After Zhang Xing, everyone came to their senses, and then felt that their brains had been scrambled by the morning competition, and they even forgot about this, it was simply dark under the lights.

It turned out that there was nothing else to do this afternoon, but because of the hot weather, they dared not expose the corpses, so after cleaning the battlefield, they had to bury the corpses and hold a funeral.

It is said that according to Zhang Longtou's instructions before he left, the deceased in the early [-]s who deposed the Dragon Army had to erect a special monument and inscriptions, and try to record their names and positions. These leaders and officers are going to do the ceremony now.

Correspondingly, as the enemy army and the defeated Qilu army, even if there are as many as [-] people killed in the battle and hunted after the war, they are not qualified. They are also buried, but they are only captured by prisoners of war and civilian husbands. They dug shallow pits and hastily buried them.

"The most important thing in life is life and death." Zhang Xing thought for a while, and then he had an idea. "Release these [-] prisoners of war and watch them with our soldiers. When the land is sealed, we will also fill in some soil for the Qilu army."

The people around looked at each other and felt that it didn't matter... Han Yingong ran away, and the Qilu army was finished. Next, the Dragon Clan will definitely expand downstream of Jishui River to complete its strategic concept of penetrating the eastern border. At this time, Zhang San If the master wants to be benevolent and righteous to buy the hearts of the local soldiers, who can say that he can't do it?
As a result, everyone continued to walk towards Lishan, and those soldiers who had not been reorganized were also released.

In this way, in the afternoon, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, at the old battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the two armies who fought that day gathered again.

"The two leaders, Chief Wei, all the chiefs, chiefs, please look over there."

The rammed earth took the stage, and Du Caiqian, who participated in this matter as Chai Xiao and his deputy, pointed his finger in the direction of Li Shan. "The cemeteries are concentrated on the east side of the north-south official road at the foot of the mountain, that is, next to Mount Li... After all, it is a battlefield, and it is impossible for one person to have one cave. The Qilu Army dug five large pits, each with 800 people up and down... We dug Ten deep pits were built, with less than 200 people in each pit, and the inscriptions were all ready, and the craftsmen gathered from Jiyin and Dongjun rushed to work and carved the list."

"But there are also many shortcomings." The main person in charge, Chai Xiaohe, added. "For example, the list originally belonged to the western front. The personnel are clear, the list is accurate, and a pair will come out. On the eastern front, many are recruited by the eastern front. The source is also confusing, and the names are all messed up. A pit of 200 people can be written. It’s not bad to come out with one hundred and twenty-three. In addition, there are some robes from Dongjun and Jiyin counties. After their families were notified, they came to ask for the corpses and went back for burial. We can’t stop them... But it is estimated that the news has not spread, so there are not many."

"Thank you." Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly. "I still say the same thing, it's better to have something than nothing, better than to be wrong... Do your best and be ashamed of your heart."

People around nodded their heads in haste.

"Then what should we do?" After scanning the surrounding terrain, Zhang Xing continued to ask with his eyes narrowed. "Do you have any plans?"

"A Taoist monk from the Black Emperor was invited to perform a ceremony on the official road in the center of the battlefield. After the ceremony, because there were too many pits closed, please start from here, and take the leaders to offer incense separately, and then Burn the sacrificial texts, erect monuments, and seal the soil." Du Caigan's mouth was parched. "As for the soldiers and captives, it's enough to live in the fortification area and the west side of the official road scatteredly... Funerals are nothing more than that."

"Thank you." Zhang Xing just said so.

It was Jia Yue who stayed here, and finally said at this moment: "Would you like to do a war dance?"

The people around were stunned for a moment, but Fu, including Zhang Xing, immediately realized that what Jia Yue was talking about should be a dance ceremony in the belief of the Black Emperor in the Northland, mainly to celebrate the victory of the war, show the might of the army, and mourn the death of his comrades-in-arms. Mainly...hebei, jin, and even the shamans, there are related cultural variants, which are basically group dances with weapons... in the eastern capital, the royal family also has performances during festivals, such as being It is said that the high governor of Beiya that Zhang Xing killed was very good at this.

"How?" Since it was a routine operation, Zhang Xing naturally had no reason to object, and just turned to look at the two responsible persons, Chai and Du.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Chai Xiaohe felt a little uneasy. "After all, there is no preparation... and there is no good venue."

"It's okay to dance again after the sealing of the soil is completed." Zhang Xing understood and immediately discussed with Jia Yue. "Whoever wants to dance can dance, and they can dance wherever they want."

Jia Yue thought for a moment, nodded his head heavily, Chai and Du also nodded quickly, and they were no longer entangled.

The ceremony begins.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was time for the invited Heidi Taoist priests to watch. They wore black Taoist robes and performed rituals while walking on the official road on the previous battlefield. It's the soldiers onlookers... Although they don't understand it in general, the sense of ritual performed by professionals still makes people feel at ease.

In fact, Zhang Xing had already seen a bit of the aftertaste of the war dance from the rituals of these Black Emperor Taoist priests, but he didn't say anything.

Up and down, there was no unnecessary words or actions, everyone just watched solemnly.

When the Taoist priests left the arena, it was the process of Zhang Xing and others going to burn incense and burn sacrificial texts... There was no problem in this process, but after the process was over, they returned to the official road to gather, and when the monument was about to be erected, Zhang Da The leader suddenly broke the flow.

"Who wrote the sacrificial oration?" Zhang Xing looked around earnestly.

"It's Chief Zu." Everyone instinctively sensed a trace of uneasiness, and finally it was Li Shu who stepped forward to accept the words. "Is it not well written?"

"The writing is not good." Zhang Xing looked at the other party and came to a conclusion, regardless of Zu Chenyan's complexion turned pale. "The ones buried here today, regardless of the two sides, are peasants who are not willing to trample on their crops in the pursuit of fleeing. How many of them recognize this kind of article? If they are really well-informed, they will only be annoyed after hearing this article?"

After hearing this, some people thought it made sense, while others felt that Zhang Dalong was looking for trouble.

However, Li Shu thought about it for a while, but actually nodded sincerely: "It's really inappropriate to say this, but it can't be rewritten now, right? The point is, no one said it was inappropriate before... As the saying goes , It’s better to be hasty than nothing, better than wrong, do your best, and have a clear conscience!”

At the end of the conversation, when the topic changed, there was a feeling of tit for tat.

"I know." Zhang Xing sighed for a moment, and seemed to give in. "I don't mean to blame anyone... I just feel that, like this, I still feel wronged by the brother who died in battle."

Next to him, Xu Shiying seldom opened his mouth: "The pension just keeps up, and we don't lack money in the treasury for the time being."

"And there will be war dance!" Wei Xuanding also twisted his beard to persuade him. "It's good for Zhang Longtou to think about robes. Who doesn't feel grateful for the brothers who died in battle? It's just that the weather is hot, so we have to weigh the pros and cons."

Obviously, everyone is a little impatient with this ceremony.

To put it bluntly, it is true to be grateful and miss these sacrificial robes, it is true to want to hide in the hot weather, it is also true to have official positions in my heart, and it is true to think that some people are troublesome.

"I understand the truth, but war dance is what Jia Yue and the others want, and not everyone can do it. I and other people who don't know how to do it have to express it... Otherwise, I feel uncomfortable." Zhang Xing didn't seem to notice everyone's intentions. Emotions are still relentless.

"What exactly does Zhang Longtou mean? If there is an instruction, we will try our best to do it." Shan Tonghai also felt a little numb.

"No other meaning." Zhang Xing looked around. "I want to work harder when sealing the soil, and seal more soil for the brothers! Increase it higher and more! So I would like to ask everyone to help and do it together!"

The hearts of the people around suddenly relaxed, and then they all cursed secretly in their hearts, did you say it earlier?If you open your mouth about such a shitty matter, who would give you a big head for this disobedience?

They cursed in their hearts, but they all echoed in their mouths, saying that they would personally help seal up more soil for the death robe.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xingfu spoke again: "Since that's the case, there is no need to erect a monument...all the generals, including those who surrendered, shouted together, let's seal this land together."

Everyone was puzzled, and someone immediately asked: "What does Fengtu have to do with cultivation?"

Zhang Xing only took off the scabbard sword from the back of his waist, and then pointed the sword at Li Shan in front of him: "I said that day, our army is a righteous army, and our soldiers resist the violent Wei and defend their hometown. Mountain! Since we can’t see Hongshan today, and we can’t let them all return to their ancestral lands, why can’t we give Lishan to them as a seal?”

The people around were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Zhang Xing was going to form an army to destroy the mountains to make graves for these dead soldiers... But after realizing it, they were even more stunned.

After a while, Xu Shiying, a local, said in a low voice: "Third Brother... There is a temple for a tiger on this mountain."

"What kind of virtue does Fenshan Lord have to compete with you brothers for this mountain?" Zhang Xing asked boldly. "Besides, it's just cutting the mountain, not tearing down the whole mountain. How can we avoid it?"

Xu Shiying immediately shut up.

"That's not what it means." Zu Chenyan, who had been shrinking before, couldn't help interjecting. "Using the mountain as a seal, since ancient times, only emperors, real dragons and gods are qualified, and the lowest is a prince..."

"Well said." Zhang Xing suddenly laughed, and the unsheathed sword in his hand pointed at the other party, but he lifted the weight lightly, pointing like holding a wooden pole. "That's what I actually mean! Grandpa, you are very knowledgeable. Let me ask you, our army has sacrificed thousands of robes and thousands of Qilu disciples. Can it be compared to some real dragon, some emperor, or some prince? "

When Zu Chenyan saw Jianfeng, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak at all.

And the unsheathed sword in Zhang Xing's hand also turned accordingly, pointing to the surroundings one by one and asking:

"The mountain in the eastern border cannot be occupied by the children of the local people who died for it, so should it be reserved for those princes who oppress them?

"I came out to rebel, isn't it because I don't feel angry about it?
"I don't understand, why do people still want to say these things to me after the rebellion?
"If this is the case, I would like to ask you all. If you rebelled, you would still regard this mountain and land as theirs. What kind of rebellion are you rebelling against? Why didn't you cut off your own head to claim credit for those people? Or do you mean that you have no loyalty at all, and you don’t regard your own dead brothers as brothers? Instead, you want to be regarded as slaves, as stepping stones on the road of princes and generals? Think you can occupy these mountains, but they can’t?”

The faces of the people around were dazed, pale, and excited, but no one refuted it... It's not that they couldn't refute it, nor were they unwilling to refute it, but they didn't dare to refute it at this time, and they couldn't refute it.

And the sergeants around did not know what was going on here, and gradually lost order at this time, and began to buzz.

Hearing the movement, Zhang Xing had already become impatient: "Don't say any more, I just ask you one question today, I want to use your true energy to cut down this mountain and make soil for the dead robes to seal the cave. Or not?! If you give, stay, if you don’t, get out now, the Dragon Gang doesn’t want this kind of person!”

After a while, no one moved.

Zhang Xing raised his head and laughed, seemingly complacent.

After a while, the whole army of practitioners gathered together, Zhang Xing mobilized his zhenqi to form a large formation, and then swung his long sword as he breathed up and down in the great formation of zhenqi, and slashed at Mount Li...but the sword went down , but only cut seven or eight feet of the mountain... It is not without effect, but the distance to the earth pit buried under the mountain seems to be far from enough. It is estimated that this project cannot be completed before dark.

The scene became inexplicably awkward.

"Go and ask Sisi to come." Falling into the formation, Zhang Xing, who was sweating profusely, could only turn around and order Xiao Zhou. "She's in the army camp."
