Delong

Chapter 266: He Ge Xing (20)

The Zhishi army turned back, and the Chulong army who had crossed the Weishui River followed. The two armies combined amounted to more than [-] troops, and they followed the wide road built by the Wei court to conquer Dongyi and headed eastward. , Going straight to the city of Dengzhou.

Under the afternoon sun, the [-] people's armor was like scales, and their swords were like a forest. They were connected in front and back, and were covered by smoke and dust that could not be seen at a glance. , the end is shocking.

If there were no accidents, as long as this army let go of the restrictions and disregarded their physical strength, they would be able to reach the city of Dengzhou tonight, and no matter how late it was, it would not be until tomorrow.

Besides, Zhang Xing was the Fang Jingbo he met on the march, with only Xiong Bonan, Shan Tonghai and a few people by his side, and then he just had a conversation, and then he immediately moved forward, and ended up staying with the army of the Dethrone Dragon Gang After crossing the Weishui River, the flag with the word "解" has already been held by the Zhishi army, and all the troops have turned around.

The whole process took only half an hour.

Therefore, many leaders of the Dethrone Dragon Army were completely confused. They knew that the Zhishi Army was on the other side of the river, and then they received the military order to complete preparations before crossing the river and thought they would fight. Longtou has already persuaded Zhishijun to turn against him face to face. Now that everyone is a friendly army, they are even more confused.

As a result, those leaders, big and small, were either curious, or worried about Zhang Xing's safety, or simply wanted to control the situation, and some wanted to see what the legendary Tomoshiro looked like, most of them hurried forward, flocking to the front Take a look under the banner.

And Zhang Xing couldn't help explaining one by one, making introductions along the way, and then asked these people to turn back to the arrangement one by one—the situation was still unstable, and the Dragon Army had to control the situation and be fully prepared.

However, there are still many people who choose to stay by Zhang Dalongtou's side for various reasons.

"How did my virtuous brother easily say that the [-] troops defected?"

Another pale green streamer flew over, excitedly asked without even taking the horse, but it turned out to be the only idler master Xie Minghe on this trip.

Although this guy is 50 or [-] years old, and he is usually a fairy, but in fact, it is probably because his life was cut off abruptly by the Great Wei Bingfeng, and his family has been oppressed by the Great Wei for decades. In the past, he was probably frightened by the power of Yang Bin, the head coach of the Great Wei and Chen, who went down the river, so he was obviously a little like a dragon towards the military, so that he kept jumping up and down and participating in it after the Dragon Army suddenly launched the third eastward march. .

Before killing Cui Yuanxun, he went late, so it was a pity for a long time.

Facing this man, Zhang Xing, who was already thirsty, didn't bother to waste his saliva at all. He just pointed at him casually, introduced Zhishilang Wang Hou to the other party, and then looked to the other side:
"What kind of people are Gao and Sun, you have lived in Dengzhou for a long time, please advise."

Under the banner of the word "解", Zhang Xing spoke like this, but his eyes only looked at the nearest descendant, Fang Jingbo. Bonan, Shan Tonghai, Zhou Xingfan, Wang Xiongdan, and Jia Runshi all looked at this person.

Fang Jingbo saw many dethroned dragon army leaders come to see him, and his old boss Wang Hou was also at the side, so he was somewhat cautious, so that he didn't dare to speak directly for a while, but began to think seriously.

Zhang Xing didn't rush either.

A while later, after Xie Minghe got on his horse, the top nine leader of the Zhishi Army finally said cautiously: "I think these two are smart people, and they are also people with some style."

"how to say?"

This answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the leaders of the surrounding Dragon Army. Many of them raised the corners of their mouths slightly, but there were also many of them who were as expressionless as Zhang Xing who couldn't ask.

"I have three simple explanations." Seeing that Zhang Xing was still serious, Fang Jingbo immediately answered seriously as if asking for instructions.

Zhang Xing had no choice but to raise his hand immediately to signal, urging the other party to speak.

"The first argument is that neither of these two came from a low family background. Chief Sun was originally from a wealthy family in the plains, and Chief Gao came from the Gao family in Bohai. Both of them were both civil and military. They belonged to local leaders, but they were forced by the imperial court...by the violent Wei Sanzheng to do something, because if they don't do something, the people below will have to act on their own." Fang Jingbo held out the first finger.

But in the middle of saying this, a group of people who were born in the Dragon Gang couldn't help laughing, even Bai Yousi couldn't hold it, and Shan Tonghai was a little embarrassed... Zhang Xing called Hao Qiang every day, and the Dragon Gang Those big bosses in the movie are numb themselves, let alone others?

However, Xie Minghe at the side interjected from another unexpected angle: "The Bohai Gao family is fake."

"Impossible." Fang Jingbo, who had been nervous for a long time because of the reaction of the Dragon Clan, hurriedly explained. "The tall leader was born in the Bohai Gao family, and everyone in the world knows it."

"Indeed." Xiong Bonan also confirmed beside him.

"That's not what I mean, I mean that the words Bohai Gaoshi are fake." Xie Minghe waved his hands and smiled. "This family has never been a noble family, but a third-rate noble family. They first attached themselves to the Dengzhou Gao family in ancient times, and then attached themselves to the Huaiyang Gao family. Anyway, during the war, they made a name for themselves by making fakes in those years. , so as to fool those military chiefs in troubled times... Not to mention, later the Eastern Qi royal family went from north to south, because the only family in Hebei with the surname Gao, they turned around to cling to them. Who would dare to say anything about the royal family? A general Gao from the Bohai Prefecture of Dongyi, came across the sea, first served as the prefect in Youzhou, and now he went to the Northland and became one of the eight princes of the Northland. He also called himself the Bohai Gao clan. Distinguish... The result is that, relying on the fake attachment of the strongman later, this famous noble family that was originally faked has become a famous noble family in Hebei that everyone in the world can't deny. The Qinghe Cui family can only bite the bullet and admit it. Down."

Everyone was dizzy.

But Zhang Xing couldn't help but chuckle: "It doesn't matter, it's someone's skill to be able to fake, not to mention, according to me, whether it's the royal family of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Duke of the Northland, or the Bohai Gao family can be regarded as getting what they need... Who can do it?" Just because the Eastern Qi royal family has attached themselves to the Bohai Gao family, do they look down on them? And now, the Eastern Qi royal family has branched out to a certain extent, so they don’t care about it anymore."

"That's the truth." Xie Minghe also sighed. "Sometimes I often think, which is more important, a family that has lasted for thousands of years, or a hero who has been rampant for a while?"

Most people didn't respond, but Bai Yousi's smile didn't change when he heard this, but he raised his head slightly and looked over his head.

Zhang Xing went to see Fang Jingbo.

Fang Jingbo didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly continued: "The second statement is that since our big leader initiated the rebel army, there have been a surge of rebel armies in the world, and there are many in Hebei and Eastern borders, but in fact, at least half of the rebel armies are in the They disappeared in the first three months, and most of the rest were annexed... And these two were all created in Hebei. Yu Wan."

Everyone stopped joking this time, because it was truly remarkable. When Zhang Jincheng and his ilk were destroyed, many members of the Dragon Clan had already noticed that this was the first wave of shocks in this troubled world. , will cause many people to get lost, and they will not know where they made mistakes until they perish.There are also many similar people in the Dragon Gang, but they were held back by the gang as a whole, and no major mistakes were made.

The most obvious wave is the overall defeat of the first Eastern Expedition.

"The third statement is that after the rise of the two, they were not obsessed with the situation in Hebei, but instead tried their best to cross the river and take Dengzhou... In hindsight, it was precisely this move that avoided the Youzhou camp in time. The joint raid on Hebei with Hejian Daying has survived for a long time." At this point, Fang Jingbo paused for a moment and spoke seriously. "Forgive me for taking the liberty. If it wasn't for Zhang Longtou's brilliance and martial arts, Zhang Xuguo was defeated in the first battle of Lishan. Otherwise, even if Zhang Xuguo rises, he will only go west instead of Dengzhou. There are other follow-up ideas that can rely on the storage in Terengganu."

This time, more people nodded in agreement.

After all, looking at it in hindsight, the battle opportunity in Lishan was really hard to come by, and it was only a few days' strategic window period. If Zhang Xing hadn't resisted all opinions and chose to attack decisively, the one who collapsed at this time would be the Dragon Gang instead.

Therefore, even if it is an afterthought, it must be admitted that the strategic choice of Gao Shitong and Sun Xuanzhi is not a big problem, and it can even be called brilliant.

Unexpectedly, where everyone agreed, Zhang Xing shook his head instead: "If it was half a year ago, I would have thought it was brilliant, but now, I think the people who stay in Hebei are really wise."

The people around were all surprised, but Zhang Xing stopped talking after saying a word, and changed the topic instead: "No matter what, what the head of the house said is correct. The two Gao and Sun obviously have insights and ideas. Confused... Then Fang Boss, what do you think they will do if they know our current situation?"

Fang Jingbo hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I really don't know... because I was in the same situation, I can't imagine what they can do? The army of the Dragon Clan came too fast and too fiercely, and the situation changed too quickly gone."

"Then I'll ask you this way." Zhang Xing nodded and changed the way of asking. "If there were clear rumors before that Zhishijun had already made an agreement with us, and they saw Zhishijun leaving the city before, would they have prepared in advance?"

"No." Fang Jingbo still hesitated for a moment on the horse, and his eyes obviously glanced over Wang Hou who was distracted thinking about something, and then gave a clear judgment. "They can't be so confused... because they are in Dengzhou City, and they know better than anyone else whether Shijun is in contact with the Dragon Gang, and today's matter is my subordinates. At this moment, they still feel that they are in a dream. Let alone others? And this is also because I don’t know how they will respond, because Mr. Zhang didn’t give them time to react.”

"Then I'll ask directly." Zhang Xing nodded again. "Do you think it is more important to give them time to respond, or not to give them?"

Like the leaders of the Dragon Gang who had been listening attentively, Fang Jingbo finally realized what Zhang Xing wanted to ask, and this time, the person being questioned did not hesitate:
"I think these two are time-conscious and smart, and they should be given time to react."

Zhang Xing nodded again and again: "That's all right. The army will camp ten miles outside the city of Dengzhou tonight, and then please return to the city to meet the two big leaders, and then say, I invite them to be guests..."

Fang Jingbo was taken aback for a moment, then immediately cupped his hands and agreed: "I am willing to do my best."

Zhang Xing nodded in satisfaction, and Wang Hou finally came back to his senses and looked at the Nine Masters who he didn't value in the past, but he didn't say a word.

In this way, that night, more than [-] troops from the Delong Army and the Zhishi Army joined forces by a small river. The small river is a tributary of the Weishui River, but it flows from the mountain in the northeast that is very meaningful to someone... ...This place is about [-] miles away from the foot of the mountain, and about [-] miles away from the city of Dengzhou. Inside and outside the city, there should be [-] combined troops of the Bohai Navy and the Pingyuan Army, plus [-] remaining troops of the Zhishi Army, and countless troops in the northwest of Dengzhou. There are all kinds of fugitives in the direction, about more than [-].

Fang Jingbo was ordered by the army to drive into the city of Dengzhou at night. At this time, the city was already in chaos, but he was not in a hurry to see Gao and Sun. Wang Hou has already led the crowd to surrender, and asked each family to keep their own place, guard the place, and be careful at the same time.

After the message was over, he still didn't go to see Gao and Sun, but found Zhuge Dewei, an important leader under Gao Shitong's command, who had escaped from Yidu before, and told him about today's experience, and then please pass it on for generations.

Only then did he meet Gao Shitong.

Sure enough, Gao Shitong didn't sleep, and was discussing with several confidant subordinates how to deal with it. After getting the notification, he didn't summon him in public.Then, after the head of the Hebei Rebel Army had listened to the narration and invitation of the visitor, he still remained silent, not even allowing Fang Jingbo to sit down, but sent someone to invite another head of the army, Sun Xuanzhi, to come over , also entered the Cangcheng lobby alone, and remained silent after listening.

The time was getting later and later, probably because Zhang Dalongtou felt that Zhang Dalongtou had increased his trust this time, and Fang Jingbo gritted his teeth and broke the silence on his own initiative: "You two, please forgive me for being rude, there are some things that cannot be avoided Yes, I can ask the two big masters, under the current situation, if the Dragon Clan really comes to attack, given the chaotic situation inside and outside the city, although there are many soldiers here in Dengzhou, can they really resist Zhang Gong?"

Gao Shitong remained silent, but Sun Xuanzhi smiled wryly at this time: "Don't say that you were caught off guard to this point. In fact, when Zhishijun made a big move yesterday, I discussed the situation with Mr. Gao. At that time, I felt that even Zhishijun and We are united and fighting hard together, and I am afraid that we will not be able to stop it."

"Not bad." Fang Jingbo answered seriously. "Don't say that the hearts of the people in the east and the heart of Hebei are incompatible. We know that the Shijun controls part of the city's defenses. We only talk about the military power. With Zhang Xuguo's soldiers from Qilu as a reference, everyone understands...Ten thousand steps back, according to the Dragon Gang Today's power is only imitating Linzi's old technique of dealing with Xu Pinglang, and no one in Dengzhou City can stop... Have you not seen the ability of King Xiongtian? At this time, there is also a white heroine, and there are seven or eight Ningxia. Master Dan."

Gao Shitong finally sighed: "Of course we know we can't win, but the Dragon Clan is coming so fiercely that within a few days, they killed the two top leaders of our two families, and also seized the North Sea, cutting off the road back to the North Sea. The road...isn't this clearly going to kill them all?"

"If you want to kill them all, why would Mr. Zhang ask me to invite you two?" Fang Jingbo continued to persuade.

"Isn't it more convenient to kill us Hebei people?" Gao Shitong shook his head.

"If Gao Gong thinks so, it is the only way out." Fang Jingbo replied sincerely. "I am soft-spoken and dare not be sure, but the reason is clear... If Gao Gong does not go, he will only live a few more days, and he will die in the end and be laughed at by the world. What is the difference between Zhang Jincheng and others when the incident happened? And if they go there, they may die, they may be exterminated, but they may also survive, and even save the Dengzhou rebels!"

When it came to this point, Gao Shitong still hesitated for a while, just went to see Sun Xuanzhi, and the latter was also obviously hesitant.

In fact, everyone present knew that since the two big bosses were both smart, they should have moved their hearts long ago, and since they were moved, another problem was involved-although Zhang Xing invited two people to go, but in actual operation, the two people may not Need to go together.

And who will go and who will not go is also in a dilemma. It is not only the danger of going, but it may be dangerous to stay.

In short, in the current situation, whether to go or not, whoever goes, may lead to uncertain and serious consequences.

It can only be said that disaster is imminent, and of course the two rebel leaders from Hebei know that they must unite sincerely, but people's hearts are unpredictable, how can the word unity be so easy to handle?Thinking back to that day, the reason why the dethroning dragon army was able to overwhelm the Qilu army was because there was a little more unity when necessary, but it took a lot of effort to get this unity.

However, Fang Jingbo, the emissary who knew the situation was frozen, remained silent, and just stood with his head bowed in the lobby of Cangcheng where Gao Shitong was occupying.

Of course, soon, everyone will know what he is waiting for.

"The head of the family! Why don't you let me go!"

The introducer Zhuge Dewei, who hadn't participated in the discussion, suddenly knelt down at the threshold of the lobby with a plop, and then burst into tears and spoke earnestly. "Ever since Yidu fled back, I've felt so guilty, I've always felt sorry for the boss! If all the members of the Dragon Clan are to be wiped out, let me be the first to die! If there is a glimmer of life left, I will definitely give it to the boss! Come here! Please give me a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for my crime!"

Gao Shitong took a deep breath, looked at Fang Jingbo standing in front of him, then at the people on the ground outside the threshold in the distance, then exchanged glances with Sun Xuanzhi, and finally jumped up against the table, sternly yelling:
"Fourth, what are you talking nonsense about? We brothers share our troubles and share our blessings! Isn't it just a feast? Let's go together!"

Sun Xuanzhi opened his mouth beside him, but didn't hold back a word.

Half an hour later, only half an hour later, Gao Shitong, the leader of the Hebei rebel army who was born in the Bohai Gao family, is probably one of the top five rebel leaders in the world, and brought his fourth master, Zhuge De, who had abandoned the city before Wei, he drove into the barracks of the Chulong Army ten miles away.

When Zhang Xing heard the news, he led dozens of leaders and officers out to meet him.

Outside the gate, Gao Shitong, who only brought Baiqi with him, was still thinking about how to speak.

On the other side, Zhang Xing was already far away in the door and laughed loudly: "Gao Gong! Our Delong Gang and Gao Gong joined forces to fight against Wei. Gao Gong is the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army, and we are the leader of the Eastern Rebel Army. How can you quietly cross the border, come to our east border, and want to be our enemy?"

Gao Shitong was stunned for a while, and he was stunned for a while, but seeing countless heroes including Xiong Bonan coming to him, he knew that it was his last chance, but he pointed back at Deng Deng In the direction of Zhoucheng, he was as sincere as his subordinate Zhuge Dewei before:
"Mr. Zhang doesn't know. Master Sun persuaded me to do this."

PS: Good night everyone.
