Chapter 264: He Ge Xing (18)

"Aren't you afraid of being rejected by the heroes of the world, are you wantonly fighting against the rebel army?" Xu Pinglang, who was exhausted and his limbs were broken, shouted as he was dragged out of the gate of the county government office. The movement of many people inside and outside the lobby.

Not only the terrified Linzi defenders, but Xu Pinglang's subordinates, as well as the elite troops who quickly entered the city to try to control the situation after the successful decapitation by the master of the Dragon Army, also reacted with some anxiety.

Everyone is anti-Wei, and the mentality that they should be friendly troops is widely present in everyone's heart... Moreover, the power and name of the three major armies in Dengzhou predate the rise of the Dragon Gang, and even the Dragon Gang's uprising Ben was inspired by their success in capturing Dengzhou, which no one can deny, which naturally gives people a feeling that the opponent is the orthodox rebel army.

"Xu Daping, your family wantonly plundered the people, what qualifications do you have to be called a righteous army?" Unexpectedly, it was Shan Tonghai who crossed the purple-faced king Xiong Bonan, chased him out of the county government office, and yelled at him in the street. "What is a rebel army? The rebel army is against Wei! But why is it against Wei? It's not because the violent Wei abused the people at all! When you rise up to rebel, you can't beat the official army of the violent Wei, and instead bully the people instead of the violent Wei, what qualifications do you have?" Call it the Rebel Army?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the Yilong Army inside and outside the county government office and the local rebel army were quick and awe-inspiring, but even the other masters of the Yilong Gang who came to control the situation all looked sideways—this is very simple, Zhang Xing has muttered it countless times Yes, everyone would say it, but to speak a word of conscience, if Bai, Xiong, Xu, Wang, and Cheng say it, everyone will probably take it for granted, but Shan Tonghai can't wait to yell it out, which makes people feel weird.

But it also seems to be a bit natural.

Of course, Xu Pinglang had the biggest reaction. Hearing that the other party was so righteous, but he was completely crippled and dragged directly to the Yamen. How could he not know the possible outcome?So I became more and more frightened.

Moreover, this person is indeed a long-standing old thief, with a quick brain, and he shouted again in a moment, but changed his tone and rhetoric:
"All the heroes who dethrone the Dragon Gang, I am blind and arrogant, but I am not guilty of death... It is easy to kill me today, but Dengzhou is so big in the future, I don't know if there are hundreds of leaders like me. , the rebel army combined has a total of 20, if we are vigilant because of me alone, causing mutual attacks and killing each other, and losing troops and generals, wouldn’t it be for the purpose of destroying the jade wall?”

For no reason, everyone looked at Shan Tonghai again.

Besides, Shan Tonghai originally just hated this person's ignorance, delusional thinking about the position of the big boss, and he got angry and scolded for a while, so that he actually borrowed Zhang Xing's words, but now that everyone was watching him, he couldn't just let it go. Next, continue to bite the bullet and argue:

"You also know that we are jade bi? You are Powa?! Then do you know that the reason why our Dragon Gang is a jade bi is because we follow the rules! We have rules! If it is for someone like you If the rules are broken, it is no longer jade bi!"

Speaking of this, Shan Tonghaifu hurriedly urged the left and right: "Quickly kill this thief, and use the law of the army!"

So far, how did Xu Pinglang not know that he will die this time?But knowing that there is no good reason, instead of caring about it, he began to shout and curse in public...

After a while, he scolded Shan Tonghai for being a gangster. He was originally a gangster with the same reputation as him in the Eastern Realm. He didn't know how many innocent lives were at his hands, so he was worthy of scolding him?After a while, he scolded the Dethrone Dragon Gang for peddling dog meat. They were clearly rebel bandits who acted like government officials.As soon as he turned around, he saw a man who looked like a leader took the long knife with a cold face, but he was so terrified that he couldn't help calling Xu Dalang and Cheng Dalang, two old friends, to help him intercede.In the end, when the knife and ax were really in front of them, they became more aggressive, and on the spot they shouted and cursed everyone in the Dragon Gang to die.

However, in the end, in the end, Jia Yue could not be killed with a knife.

Once Xu Pinglang died, the whole of Linzi became quiet.

Long ago, following Zhang Xingjun's order to enter the city on a large scale, the Longjun Army completely controlled the whole city, and the five thousand Bohai Navy, which had been a little commotion before, also completely surrendered.

That is, in this process, new situations have also gathered together.

"There are armaments, food, and gold and silver in Cangcheng." Yan Qing came to report seriously. "It's not much, but it's all neat."

Zhang Xing, who stood on the street and watched the troops clean up and control the surrendered army, was thoughtful, but he was a little confused for a while, so he went to look at the other leaders.

Soon, it was Cheng Dalang who quickly came to his senses and reminded: "The leader, it should be the supplies from the Dengzhou camp!"

Others have also realized that Dengzhou is the first big town in the three expeditions to Dongyi, and they must collect supplies. Although the harvests in the warehouses around Luoyang have been stored for decades, they are not as exaggerated, but they are definitely not rare.

In fact, this should be the reason why the three largest rebel armies joined forces to attack Dengzhou at the beginning, and it was also the reason why people’s hearts were shaken after Dengzhou was captured. Zhishilang Wang Hou, who is native to the territory, tried to expand after he seized Dengzhou, but he was beaten again and again by Zhang Xuguo, but he always recovered; at the same time, although the other two families sent reinforcements repeatedly, the main force He never moved, instead, he and the Zhishi Army maintained a three-point situation in Dengzhou City, and the peripheral rebel army with Dengzhou as the core also remained steadfast.

Now it seems that Dengzhou should have controlled a considerable amount of supplies, and it has become a comfortable place. The treasury that these rebels claimed before has been divided, which should mean that it has been divided up, not used up. nice one.

Of course, so many thoughts, in fact, just flashed through everyone's minds.

After the flash, Zhang Xing was a little puzzled for a moment: "If you can't get hungry, why do you want to plunder?"

This question caused everyone else to look at each other. Zhang Xing himself was only thinking about the food problem for the coming year, and he was confused for a while. After asking, he felt that he was talking too much.

What can there be?People are suffering.

However, Cheng Zhili didn't seem to realize this. Instead, he took a deep breath and started talking: "Leader, who can eat meat, who wants to eat old millet? The more gold and silver women, the better." …At that time, Wang Hou thought that I was not obedient to him, so he asked my family to hand over all the livestock.”

Zhang Xing, who had woken up early, glanced at the other party and didn't say much.

Cheng Dalang lowered his head immediately, causing several other leaders to look at him coldly.

As the only leader of the Dragon Clan who was born in the lower reaches of Jishui, and a powerful leader who had established contact with Zhang Xing before the incident, Cheng Zhili should have sufficient strength and status when the Dragon Clan has come to the present.But in fact, the army has entered Dengzhou, and he is not embarrassed in the gang, and the reason is largely because of his unsteady stand in the early stage, and the most symbolic incident is that he did not follow Zhang Xing's order at that time Pack up your belongings early and cross the river into Putai.As a result, most of his most fundamental cavalry was lost at the feet of Zhang Xuguo, and the Putai Army that was originally assigned to him did not have a great sense of belonging to him, and Zhang Dalongtou, the theoretical boss of the mountain, was also somewhat alienated from him. and dissatisfaction.

There were even rumors that Zhang Xing was going to assign the Putai army to Bai Yousi, leaving Cheng Dalang completely wasted.

Of course Zhang Xing could guess some of the specific thoughts of these big bosses, and no one was stupid, but looking back at the moment, standing on Linzi Street, he didn't have the heart to think about these things.

After a while, when Zhang Xing and several big leaders continued to discuss the next plan to dispatch troops, there was a commotion in the city again, but it quickly subsided.

After a while, Wang Zhen, who was in charge of suppressing the whole city, came over in person and told the whole story at the street corner.

"Hebei people, Dongjing people?" Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment.

"Yes." Wang Zhen said one thing. "The soldiers and horses over there were originally very honest, but after they were handed over to the Putai Army, they became frightened... After asking, I found out that they were Xu Pinglang's old army, and they had always been against the Hebei people, and the Putai Army was People from Hebei... But everything is fine, everything is suppressed, is this situation going to turn the world upside down?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Zhang Xing was originally thinking about this matter and did not mention it. Xu Shiying, Cheng Zhili, Shan Tonghai, including Bai Yousi, just came to see Zhang Xing together.

"How many people from Hebei are there in the army? How many people from the East?" Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and asked seriously.

No one knew about the situation, but soon Cheng Dalang passed Wang Zhen, separated from Zhou Xingfan, Wang Xiongdan, Jia Runshi and others, took the initiative to ride around the city to inquire, and then turned back first: " I asked a few leaders, and they all said about half and half, more than 2000 people from the East and Hebei... The leader of this army is Xu Pinglang, who is from the East, but he still belongs to Gao Shitong's Bohai Navy. Lots of sand."

Zhang Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly ordered seriously: "And when the war is still undecided, don't enforce the military law for the time being... Separate the Hebei people from the Dongjing people, and the Hebei people will be detained first. Let them go across the river; let the people from the east border go, don’t kill any of them, go straight to Dengzhou, tell them that they are all people from the east border, begging for a living on the water, and let them go once!”

Among the people around, some people had been waiting for a long time, while the others were stunned for a moment, but they all immediately realized that this was the simplest separation.Xu Dalang even thought of another point, that is, Zhang Xing bypassed the southwestern part of Dengzhou controlled by the Zhishi Army, and went north to Linzi controlled by the Bohai Navy, just because Linzi is a big and famous city?

"Is this a divorce?" Xiong Bonan came to his senses and asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xing was frank, and at the same time aware of the specific worries of the other party, he immediately explained. "There are too many three volunteer soldiers in Dengzhou, and their power is too strong. If they twisted into one rope and misjudged them, they thought they could deal with us, and it turned out to be a bad battle, which is not good for anyone...Instead of this, we should attack our hearts For the first time, all the cities have changed to do this to shake them! As for the enforcement of military laws, the people from the eastern border will be encircled in Dengzhou, and they will not be able to escape, so you can take your time."

Xiong Bonan thought for a while, and immediately nodded his approval.

Xu Dalang came back to his senses from the side, and quickly stepped forward, reorganizing a simple plan to quickly take down other cities occupied by Xu Pinglang's troops in the surrounding area, but try not to spread the troops excessively.

The big bosses around quickly passed by.

After Zhang Xing nodded in agreement, he reminded again: "Also, when I came in just now, I heard someone repeat the words of Chief Shan. Disciplined and righteous army, these people in Dengzhou looted without limit, they are not worthy of being called a righteous army; moreover, we defeated the official army in the eastern border, defeated Zhang Xuguo, and cleaned up the entire eastern border, these people in Dengzhou are not only Zhang Xu Guo Guo's defeated generals are still hiding in Dengzhou and eating rice... In a word, they are not qualified to be called rebels in front of us. Whether they are rebels, whether they want to stay or chase them, kill them or use them is up to us. Calculate!"

The surrounding leaders suddenly responded.

Shan Tonghai rarely blushed.

On July [-]th, Linzi, a famous city in the west of Dengzhou, was quickly captured by the deposed Dragon Army in an unthinkable but natural way. Continue to attack on both sides and east without hesitation.

The surrounding counties were Xu Pinglang's territory, Linzi was gone, and Xu Pinglang's head was hung up, who could stand in the way?

On July [-]th, Zhuge Dewei, the defender of Yidu, another big city ahead, and another leader of the Bohai Navy, chose to abandon the city and surrender Yidu.

On July [-]th, taking advantage of the opportunity of fleeing without fighting, Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, Niu Da, and Wang Zhensi led a surprise attack of [-] troops to Beihai, the key city of Dengzhou, with the rapid support of Bai Yousi and Xiong Bonan. He launched a strong attack, and within half a day he took down the key city in the hinterland of Dengzhou and connected to Hebei.

The guard Cui Yuanxun was the number three figure in the Pingyuan Army. Although he was cultivated, he was only a side branch of the Qinghe Cui family. He was born with a literary style and was killed immediately.

So far, Beihai County, one of the three counties of Dengzhou before it was merged into the general management state, was completely captured under the hurricane attack of the Dragon Army, and it took only five days.And Dengzhou City, Dengzhou Daying, and the mountainous area in the northeast of Dengzhou that Zhang Xing is particularly familiar with are already within easy reach.

As for the place where Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi first met, they were simply left behind.

And at this time, Dengzhou may not have realized what happened... But it doesn't matter, they will soon become more confused, because at the same time that the Dragon Army was advancing by leaps and bounds, countless rebels began to flee to Dengzhou Come.

Rumors were flying everywhere and the situation was a mess.

Under such circumstances, Wang Hou took the initiative to invite Gao Shitong and Sun Xuanzhi to meet and discuss together, but the latter two unexpectedly refused.

"These two Hebei dogs!" Wang Hou, who was short and stocky, still had his violent temper, and was so angry that he walked around in Sanjin's big house for a while, shouting and cursing. "Do you really think that I have colluded with the Dragon Gang? If there is a collusion, after the Lishan Mountain battle, I should have taken over Qi County. Why would I be crowded in a city with them?!

"And those bastards from Langya! They clearly recognized me as the head of the family, but in the end they were frightened by the dethroned dragon army and dared not move, even if they were told to come, they let others slaughter them instead!"

Many masters around stood on the porch, watching the big masters walking in the yard were silent... They all knew the fiery temper of this Zhishilang, which was a temper that was really forged. The second master, Shi Zijiang, died under the hands of Zhang Xuguo Afterwards, he was often overly violent, often shouting and scolding at his subordinates, but this person was recognized as the number one in the world, with outstanding prestige, and the people below really dare not annoy him.

After a long time, they all learned to keep silent.

"Aren't you farting?" Wang Hou suddenly realized this, stopped abruptly, and yelled at these subordinates. "He made a call to Beihai with just one hula!"

How can such a person succeed?
Tang Bairen stood there, watching this scene, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, but he still stepped forward despite the insult to his personality, gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you know me. I have always been dissatisfied, otherwise I would not have given up and came to you... If you want me to say, how about we go out and fight? It is best to win, but if you lose, the two masters, Gao and Shen, should believe us, and then Unite and defend the city!"

Wang Hou was taken aback for a moment, but hesitantly said, "I...it's not natural to depose the Long Army, but after all, they are the rebels who are serious about beating Wei, and they are obviously walking around our Zhishi Army this time, starting the war without authorization. Will there really be a grudge?"

Hearing this, Tang Bairen had a bad intention, so he didn't know what to say at this time.

However, at this time, Tang Bairen's old boss, the leader of the Guishan Army who had just arrived for two days, was also Wang Hou's nine masters at a certain period before, and suddenly more and more people came forward and asked seriously:

"Master, we all listen to you. You can tell me whether to surrender or fight? We will make up our minds."

Seeing that he was a brother with senior qualifications, Wang Hou gave him a bit or two of face: "I just don't know, so I want to discuss with those two... Zhang Xuguo is so powerful, others don't know I don't know? But people The Dragon Army directly defeated Zhang Xuguo in the first battle! What kind of combat power is it? Can it be fought? So now it is not reconciled. One is afraid of losing, and the two are afraid of killing each other. Wei's overall situation, so I think it's safe for everyone to discuss it together."

Tang Bairen was obviously taken aback when he heard the last sentence, but he couldn't help but look at his old superior, who also sighed: "But those two families are obviously suspicious and don't want to come, what should we do?"

Wang Hou was half out of breath, half down in frustration, and squatted in the courtyard with his head in his arms.

Tang Bairen thought for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to stand side by side with his leader, and asked seriously: "If this is the case, I have another idea, the big boss, should we pretend that we have reached an agreement with the other two big bosses, and then borrow With the combined forces of the three families, as a cover, to negotiate with the Dragon Gang? Can you not only protect the overall situation of the rebel army, but also protect the foundation in front of the Dragon Gang?"

Wang Hou was surprised for a moment, thoughtful, obviously moved, but then looked at the other person beside Tang Bairen: "Master Jiu, this is your man, what do you think?"

That person was also looking at Tang Bairen at first, and felt terrified at seeing Tang Bairen. At this moment, he turned his head and thought about it, but there was nothing unnecessary. , I knew Datang was stronger than me."

Tang Bairen's complexion did not change, and his heart was obviously weak.

Wang Hou thought about it seriously, gritted his teeth, and asked again: "Then what should we talk about?"

"Let's talk with the army!" Tang Bairen suppressed his uneasiness and continued to speak. "If the master wants to go in person, he can personally bring a capable army out of the city to meet him. If he is worried that the dethroning dragon army will come directly to fetch people like the rumors, he can hand it over to a confidant general to take him with him, and then If we send people to talk again, the army will be demonstrating in the back, and if we can’t reach an agreement, we will fight! It doesn’t matter if we win or lose, the two families will trust us when we come back!”

"Then do it this way!" Wang Hou thought again and nodded immediately. "But I have to personally lead the troops out to rest assured! I don't believe they dare to kill me!"

Tang Bairen was relieved, but none of the other leaders spoke except his eldest brother.

The next day, Wang Hou gathered his troops and set off from the messy Dengzhou city to the west. On the night after leaving the city, someone brought Gao Shitong a letter that was accidentally intercepted.

This letter is nothing else, it is actually a private letter from Zhang Xing, the left-wing leader of the Dragon Gang, to Wang Hou, Zhishilang, in which it is stated that the Dragon Gang will treat the three major volunteers in Dengzhou differently.

"The east border is the east border of the Dongjing people... we have to kill a hundred people and expel our name as a rebel." After putting down the letter, Gao Shitong sighed in public. "It seems that this is going to force us to die!"

There was also no answer around.

"Go and invite Master Sun to come over." Gao Shitong suddenly restrained himself. "The Dethrone Dragon Gang is like a wolf and a tiger, obviously intending to annex the entire Eastern Territory, life and death, there should be a result."

This time, the surrounding leaders finally cheered up slightly.

PS: Come back to life, Yan Zk is very handsome, and he is busy typing on his mobile phone... He is much better than a middle-aged and elderly person like me, too much.
