Chapter 275 Pro Pop (8)

The autumn wind is getting cooler and cooler, almost drowning out the clacking of the armor of the patrolling troops at night.

This is the permanent barracks in the north of Lihu City. Under the lights, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi, who refused to enter the city, sat facing each other on a wide over-the-head couch. Between them were letters like hills, some of which were Some of the paper is silk, and the paper is put into the envelope, and the silk is put into the bag.

"Is it too much?" Bai Yousi, who sat by the wall with his hair untied, smiled while resting his chin, and told the truth.

Zhang Xing, who had a little girl in front of him, tore open a letter casually, nodded while reading it: "There are indeed many, and many of them are useless and repetitive. But there is no way, since Dengzhou came here, deposed The places that the Dragon Gang can control are basically touched, and there are summons inside and out."

Bai Yousi shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xing glanced at the letter, turned around and wrote a brief message on one side of the paper, then threw the letter into a basket under the bed. "What's wrong?"

"It's not that the statement is wrong, I just think that the current situation is caused by you, Saburo." Bai Yousi said something.

"What does the White Lady say?" Zhang Xing didn't raise his head, his movements remained the same.

"These letters, as well as the messengers I met along the way, including the messages I heard, are not about official business, but I want to know how you plan to deal with Li Shu? I want to know how you will deal with the Huaiyou League? Including making suggestions to you Or ask where you plan to fight next?" Bai Yousi did not hesitate in his words. "And these things are either very important or too sensitive. If you don't express your opinion or speak, they will feel guilty... After all, it is still rare to see people as magnanimous as Xiong Tianwang in this world. Are you testing you? Chief Wei’s words at the bank of Juye Ze the day before yesterday were even more direct, and he almost said that the decision was made directly at Liangshan Dazhai, and Li Shu was sent out to help.”

Zhang Xing nodded, noncommittal, just reading letters, taking notes, and throwing them into baskets.

"You scared them."

Seeing this, Bai Yousi raised his volume slightly. "Sanlang, you are so silent, they think you are very deep in the city, and then you have a plan... so many people with ideas are full of doubts, timid, and then express their radical attitudes in turn. People who have no ideas are in front of you They are also much more cautious.”

"Is it so exaggerated?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.

"Saburo is also a character now." Bai Yousi reminded earnestly.

"If White Lady Yitianjian says who is a character, then it's not really a character." Zhang Xing laughed instead, and after laughing, he became serious again. "But in fact, looking at the world, I'm just getting started."

Bai You thought for a while, understood what the other party meant, and nodded accordingly.

Indeed, without knowing it, Zhang Dalongtou has become the number one person in this world.

A master of condensing alchemy means that he has reached a position in the practice system that is at least not considered backward, and has the basic ability to protect himself; more than three years of experience have made him leave his name in this world. Many people know him or have dealt with him. He has done some things, gained lovers and friends, and also established some enemies and opponents; and now, with the collapse of the Great Wei Dynasty , He quickly participated in it, established an organization and became its core, and won prestige and territory, mastered considerable military strength, and recruited and controlled quite a few followers.

It seemed that even the local supreme gods had noticed him.

This is like being an official in the Wei Dynasty. Generally speaking, being a county guard or a general of Zhonglang is considered to be entering the family, which means that you have stepped into the high-level level of officialdom, and you will have personal treatment wherever you go. He can say a few words to Shangnanya Xianggong even if he is tough, but regardless of whether his waist is hard or not, a word can make the common people and ordinary soldiers below live and die impermanently... Zhang Xing is in this world, and it is about the same in every aspect .

He is on the table, on the chessboard, no one in the world can ignore him, and the fate of a bunch of people is controlled by him.

In fact, this is the pursuit of many people's life.

But, isn't Zhang San boasting that he wants to do something?If he was just asking for some wealth, why did he turn back on his way to Wu'an County for a year and a half to take office?

So, everything seems to have just begun.

Zhang Xing's mentality was about the same, and Bai Yousi could probably understand the second half of the other party's meaning, so he nodded accordingly.

After these words, the two became quiet for a while, Zhang Xing quietly read, copied, and threw the letter, while Bai Yousi sat opposite, with his back against the wall, staring at his lover in a daze.

This seems to be not just Bai Yousi's contemplation, but more like the fact that the two of them have spent more than half a year together directly and in a de facto marriage, and both of them are more familiar with each other and more open-minded.

If you want to be in a daze, just be in a daze.

Even the priorities mentioned by Zhang Xing before are much calmer.

"You're right, I put too much pressure on people." It was so quiet for a long time, and suddenly, Zhang Xing looked at a letter in his hand, squinted his eyes and continued the previous topic. "Look at this letter from Jiyin, it says that Li Shu has been visibly restless in Jiyin City for the past two months. He seems to have been frightened by me, and even asked Zhang Daxuan for help... Do you know who Zhang Daxuan is?"

"I know." Bai Yousi came back to his senses and was also curious for a moment. "Who wrote this letter? What did Li Shu ask Zhang Shizhao? How did this person know? Who can monitor these two people in the city?"

"It was written by a man named Zhang Shizhao." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "According to what he said, Li Shu found Zhang Daxuan and said that he wanted to be the core of the gang, but he didn't dare to risk his life, so he asked Zhang Daxuan, a smart man, how he could deal with me."

"What do you think you've forced people into?" Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again: "Who is Zhang Shizhao? The great master was always cautious when he saw him. Li Shu went to the doctor in a hurry to find him, and even took everything away." Having said that, it deserves it... But why is Zhang Shizhao so confident, telling you directly?"

"Because Zhang Shizhao plotted against him." After Zhang Xing finished copying, he threw the letter away, his expression still unchanged. "A man who is not afraid that I will know, nor that Li Shu will find out about his plan to go back... He asked Li Shu to engage in a series of alliances and encouraged me to send troops to Hebei. After I lead the troops to Hebei, Li Shu can breathe a sigh of relief. To develop their own power in the territory, and these leaders and rudder owners in the east can also take the opportunity to take a breather, and set up some fields and houses."

Bai Yousi's heart moved slightly, and his eyes blinked: "I know that going to Hebei is absolutely right in terms of the overall situation, but is this matter so upright?"

"It can be regarded as the canal of Zheng Guo." Zhang Xing looked at Xin and said disapprovingly. "Do you know Zheng Guoqu's strategy?"

Bai Yousi laughed on the spot.

Zhang Xing also laughed, and temporarily put down the letter in his hand, and explained a little to the other party: "Before and after Baidi, the world collapsed, and there were many countries. Among them, the two countries were strong and weak. When the strong will swallow the weak, In a weak country, there is a master of water conservancy called Zheng Guo, who went to the strong country and volunteered to help the strong country design and build a canal in the rear. If the water canal is completed, the strong country’s fields will be doubled, the traffic mobilization will be accelerated, and the prosperity will be unstoppable... But in fact However, Zheng Guo's move was to delay the annexation of the weak country by the strong country. But later the news came to light, the strong country still chose to continue to build the canal, and the weak country did suffer for a while longer."

"Sure enough, this is the situation." Bai Yousi was stunned. "What a Zheng Guoqu."

Seeing that the other party was awakened, Zhang Xing continued to read the letter. After reading it for a while, he laughed again: "Actually, I have probably noticed it now. These days, people live in Dongjun, Jiyin County, and even Dongping County, Jiyin County. Compared with the leaders and rudder masters stationed in the four counties in the east, there are indeed many more proposals to send troops to Hebei...about half as many...It seems that the series is still effective But who would have imagined that these people's words are appropriate, their analysis is accurate, and only from the pros and cons of the Dragon Gang, among the people who persuade me to send troops to Hebei in the future, [-]% of them are out of selfishness and want to drive me away, so that I can enjoy the comfort of the East What? But, you don’t know where these two selfish intentions come from.”

Bai Yousi also shook his head on his wrist: "This is where I have always been afraid. People's hearts are too difficult to fathom, and I'm never as thoughtful as you, Saburo, willing to openly accept this kind of selfishness."

Zhang Xing remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yousi asked curiously.

"Everyone has selfishness, and everyone's selfishness is for the public." Zhang Xing sighed. "Everyone's selfishness is publicity, so we should take it seriously... But you are too sharp to care about these selfishness and publicity."

"So, should we use farms to bribe these powerful leaders?" Bai Yousi asked.

"No." Zhang Xing shook his head in agreement. "More and less are relative, and the selfishness of a small number of powerful people is often opposed to the selfishness of most ordinary people. At this time, what is needed is a compromise that takes care of as many people as possible...or you should not bribe the land and house These chiefs still need to maintain the normal granting of land to more ordinary people, but rewards and punishments should be clearly defined from the beginning, even the big chiefs and chiefs can be rewarded with extra land according to their military merits."

"Then why didn't you do it before?" Bai Yousi became more and more curious. "With Saburo's intelligence, he should have thought of it a long time ago. As far as I know, those chiefs and big chiefs who were born in local tyrants have no extra military rewards at all."

"Because when they started an incident, they designated several counties as their own territory, with financial power, legal power, and military power all coming from one branch, just like the general manager of counties in the Eastern Territory." Zhang Xing laughed slightly. "These sites, don't talk about that time, even at this time I can't make them spit it out. But you are right, I should have insisted on giving these leaders such field rewards from the very beginning, otherwise why would I use them in the future? Take back their sites?"

Bai Yousi was thoughtful.

The autumn wind was howling outside, Zhang Xing continued to read, and it took about another hour to read all the letters and make a proper statistics of all opinions.

At this time, Bai Sanniang finally spoke again: "How is it? Did someone push you to marry Li Shu?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing, who checked the form carefully, blurted out. "Zhang Jinshu... I guessed that he misunderstood my purpose of letting him post private messages."

"Is there no Yan Qing?"

"Yan Qing said it face to face."

"But you're not going to annex Li Shu?"

"It's natural...it's about the overall situation. Fighting at this time will only hurt the loved ones and make the enemies quicker. It's actually good to fight without breaking through."

"What about the Huaiyou League? How are you going to deal with it?"

"If he wants to go south to Jianghuai, he will merge with the Huai You League. If he wants to go north, he will be left to fight with Li Shu...he must be so happy... just continue to fight without breaking."

"Sure enough... what's the result? Is it going to Hebei or Jianghuai? Which side has more people?"

"It's hard to say." Zhang Xing pointed to his statistical form. "I looked at it. Originally, the mainstream opinion should be to suggest to annex the Huaiyou League and enter Jianghuai. A small number of them have other strange suggestions. But in the three counties of Xixi, the effect of Li Shu's connection is still very large. Right now Look, it has been clearly stated that the two are basically open on June [-]th, and there are still more people who support going to Jianghuai. But I estimate that when Jiyin is actually decided, the number of people who support going to Hebei will continue to increase, and it may even be evened out in the end. .”

"What about you?" Bai Yousi suddenly asked. "Do you want to go to Hebei or Jianghuai? You said it, and you will tell me when you arrive on Jiyin Road."

Zhang Xing thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, so he nodded, then put down the form, and carefully analyzed it to the other party:
"This matter is like this. From Li Shu's point of view, of course he wants me to go to Hebei. This is Zheng Guoqu's plan."

"nature."

"From the point of view of these leaders who agree with going north, this matter is a matter of public and private convenience, and it is public private. I am afraid they themselves can't tell how much public and private are in their decision to support the north. Some people even I will be confident and feel that I am a public heart..."

"Yes."

"As far as I am concerned, I am actually in a dilemma... and the dilemma is also public and private." Zhang Xing seems to be very frank. "I know very well that it is right to go to Hebei, which is public; but going to Hebei is doomed to be difficult, which is private.

"Zhang Shizhao, no matter how much he questioned his position and character, he couldn't say that he was brainless. He explained the reasons for going to Hebei very clearly... In the end, it is very likely that he belonged to the Eastern Qi, Western Wei, and Southern Chen families. Fundamental confrontation! Because the confrontation has been going on for hundreds of years, and with the tradition of military, political and cultural integration, it is difficult to get out of this rut.

"The Western Wei Dynasty is essentially Guanlong, with the greatest power, the most talents, the most abundant military experience, and the excellent terrain. It is a natural vassal of Bashu, and this big plate is now guarded by the royal family of the Great Wei, and there are still people including your father. A bunch of people in the house are thinking eagerly. I really dare not say who will win in the end, but once a new owner is determined, it will be the most promising family.

"Nan Chen is not hopeless, and Xie Minghe only said that Jiangdong Eight Families have no hope, but apart from Jiangdong Eight Families, what about the Madonna of Nanling and her grandmaster's son Feng Shi? Hope. The old lady is a local force, and the Feng family is a bureaucratic family that went south. The marriage of the two families, coupled with the grand lady's status as a great master, has actually fully integrated Nanling. Once the Feng family goes north to capture Jiangdong and Jiangxi, there will be Qualified to compete for world hegemony. Besides, True Fire Cult and Yaodao are variables in the south.

"In this case, if the Dragon Gang wants to fight, they can only integrate the old land of the Eastern Qi Dynasty as Zhang Shizhao said, and compete with the other two! If they want to integrate the old land of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, they must seize Hebei. Conquer the Northern Lands and enter into the Jin Lands!

"Not only that, there is also a saying inside the old place of Dongqi.

"The Eastern Territory is very rich and strong, but even with the support of Dengzhou and Xuzhou, it is not enough, because its location is too bad, it is at the junction of various forces, and all forces who want to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains will come to collide. It, Dongyi wants to move like this. If you rely on this, you may be hit again and again, and eventually the whole army will be exhausted, and people will have a chance! So you have to go north to take Hebei. The terrain in Hebei is too good. Well, the north faces Shandong, the south of Hainan faces the river, once they are united, they can attack calmly by holding a few key points, which is the core of taking the old land of Eastern Qi.

"Therefore, taking Hebei is necessary and right, and it must be fast, early, and later Hebei will inevitably have more heroes and heroes to stand up and fight with you...whether it is the rebels or Youzhou, Hejian There is no doubt about it.”

Bai Yousi rested his cheek and remained silent.

"But the difficulty is also obvious. Once you enter Hebei, you will be surrounded by flat plains. Youzhou and Jin will look down on you and watch from both sides. Once the other party makes up their minds to become violent, they will probably be driven back.

"In addition, there is another big thing, that is, to continue to expand in the future, especially to Hebei, which is a fundamental strategic place, is likely to touch the bottom line of the master and the great master... Who knows if it will happen Fell for it?"

"So, Hebei is really difficult. I really don't want to go to Hebei, but the situation is that if you don't go to Hebei, you basically can't win!"

Zhang Xing's words were sincere and his tone was sincere, besides, when facing Bai Yousi, there was no need for him to conceal anything or contrive.

However, after Bai Yousi listened quietly, he laughed on the spot: "Sanlang, what you said is very good and right, but I don't think it's what you really think in your heart, at least it's not complete..."

Zhang Xing looked at the other party in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Bai Yousi said with certainty. "Sometimes, people are blinded by things and truths, and finally they believe it, and then forget their original intentions. On the contrary, I, the visualizer, may not be able to see clearly."

"The White Lady said what I really think in my heart?" Zhang Xing asked seriously. "What is my heart?"

"Your original intention is that you, Zhang Sanlang, want to go to Hebei no matter what, and no one can stop you!" Bai Yousi was unhurried, with a loud voice and clear words, making it impossible for the other party to hide.

Zhang Xing opened his mouth, but did not refute.

"Going to Hebei is strategically correct, and the difficulties are real, but there is no such rush. It may be the most correct to stay in the east, Jianghuai, etc., and then go north according to the situation. And the reason why you insist on the Zhengguoqu Ce, who said that those leaders have both public and private affairs, and said that he was forced to go to Hebei as soon as possible. In fact, they are both correct, but they are all vaguely lying to themselves... because you originally thought that the dragon gang here in the East Territory The development is not what you want, and the result of this year’s rebellion is not what you want.”

Bai Yousi looked at the other party and talked eloquently, directly revealing the depths of his lover's heart.

"You don't look down on the Dragon Gang that is full of compromises and perfunctories in the East Territory. You don't like everyone here in the East Territory. It’s not that you are willing to do this, it’s not that you are incapable of doing this, it’s not that you choose to do this, it’s more about things that you can’t do at the beginning. It’s just that there are good things and people you cherish in this gang, and you don’t give up So, now you want to throw away these bad things, bring some people, according to your own wishes, start from the beginning, from Hebei, with clear rewards and punishments, strict rules, and create a new situation and establish a new situation like wildfire. The clean Dragon Gang! The Dragon Gang in your heart!"

Zhang Xing stared blankly at the other party, but still didn't say a word.

"Without Li Shu's Zhengguo Canal, you would go to Hebei! Everyone said you should go to Jianghuai first, and you would go to Hebei too! Because Hebei is separated from here by a big river, and there is a natural division. Li Shu wants to avoid you, and you don't bother to take it with you Him! You just want to build a new situation that is not restricted and belongs to you!"

Bai Yousi continued to speak softly.

"As for the reaction of Li Shu and the others at this time, whether it is intentional or not, in fact, it is more like falling into your scheme, and Zhang Shizhao is more like feeding you, because in this way, it will be able to kill you who are obviously desperate. The posture of going to Hebei is shaped into the posture of being sent there by their ideas... You can use this situation to exchange for more conditions and benefits, bring more talents and materials, cross the river northward, and go your own way ...Isn't that right, Saburo? You just refuse to accept it!"

Zhang Xing was silent for a long time, and then he opened his mouth amidst the howling autumn wind outside the wall:

"Yes, I don't accept it, I just want to rekindle the fire."

"Then what do you want from me?" Bai Yousi's eyes sparkled. "I know you didn't lie to me sincerely. You actually lied to yourself... But now that you realize what you really want, what do you want from me? Saburo, I'm willing to help you and start the business again. One situation!"

"I hope you can defend Dengzhou." Zhang Xing gave the answer without hesitation. "If I lose and escape back, you can catch me! If I am trapped in Hebei by some situation, you can still organize the remaining forces to rescue me! Sisi... I am a little greedy, I hope you Continue to be my heroine!"

Bai Yousi looked at the other party, waited for a while, then nodded:

"Okay, I will hold the sword and sweep this formation for you!"

PS: Good night everyone.
