Chapter 283 Pro Pop (16)

After a night, the next morning, the weather became more and more gloomy, and the movement of the north wind also came up.

It took a long time for Zhang Xing to eat a cold breakfast in the obviously cold Rebel Army Village.The reason was the change in Ande City. A large number of sentry cavalry and small troops were dispatched early in the morning, disturbing the empty rebel camp.At this time, the leader of the rebel army in the army village happened to be away, and several deputy lieutenants were at a loss and panicked, which made the army village busy all morning.

"The situation of the rebel army is wrong, and the situation of the official army is also wrong." Zhang Xing, who had quickly finished his breakfast under the sun in the morning, leaned on the edge of the fire pit in front of the tent and held an empty bowl, and made his conclusion, while opposite him, Xiong Bonan was still holding Eating in a wooden bowl. "The problem of the rebel army is basically what Zhuge Dewei said. The internal three points, obviously there are so many people, and there are still weapons and food, but because of mutual constraints, the internal strength is directly exhausted, and it is impossible to beat Pingyuan and Ander. big city."

As he said, Zhang Xing knocked on the wooden bowl in his hand with his chopsticks, and threw the bowl and chopsticks directly into the pile of ashes in front of him that had lost any temperature. He even recognized the smell of the old rice, which was the last time he was in Dengzhou. familiar smell.

Xiong Bonan, who was still eating, stopped his chopsticks and nodded earnestly: "It is true that something went wrong. The army camp is in a mess. There is no shortage of people, weapons or food, but when it gets cold, there is not even enough firewood. , the leader is not here, almost became a frightened bird, and breakfast can be delayed until noon. Let me tell you, if your old acquaintance in the city brings out all the county soldiers at this time and takes the risk to fight, the village will disappear immediately. "

"That's right, the situation of the officers and soldiers is wrong, and it's actually where the king of heaven said." Zhang Xing continued to look around, only to see that the army camp is still in a mess, there is no discipline in entering and leaving, and there is no noise in the camp of the Chinese army. is still there. "Qian Tang in the city over there is definitely not a man with a strategic mind like Li Ding of Wu'an County, but he is definitely not a waste who is unwilling to do things. Zhang Shiyu's evaluation is also quite high. These two people obviously have a chance to fight back. It’s just too weird not to move.”

"The leader thinks what's going on?" Xiong Bonan put the bowl and chopsticks on the mound in front of him after eating, and asked seriously. "Are you waiting for the soldiers and horses from the Hejian Camp?"

"How else?" Zhang Xing sneered. "According to our previous discussion, these two counties are considered the territory of the Hejian camp, and they can't ignore it. If they don't, where will the military salary and food come from? Gao Shitong is afraid that he will suffer a big loss."

Hearing this, Xiong Bonan let out a long breath, and seemed a little depressed: "According to this, Zhuge Dewei said that Gao Shizan hooked up with Gao Shitong, and Gao Shizan and Hejian Daying were unclear about the matter. It's true. I thought that Gao Shizan's character was inferior, and Gao Shitong might not be able to deal with such a person, but now it seems that I'm afraid I still believe it. This time it's just a reconnaissance, and I have to accompany the leader. Forget it for now, wait for the army If we really cross the river, kill that Gao Shizan first."

"If it's true as in the rumors, he must be killed, let alone the enemy chieftain? But since he wants to be killed, he must be killed in the name of the gang." Zhang Xing responded seriously, and then asked seriously. "Besides, should we inform Gao Shitong?"

"Notification is inevitable, right?" Xiong Bonan was surprised for a moment.

"That's not what it means." Zhang Xing shook his head, he knew that the other party misunderstood him. "I want to say, did Gao Shitong really not know that the Hejian army was coming? It was because he stayed behind all day and seldom went to the front line. He didn't know that the army strongholds on the two wings had collapsed to the point that they couldn't stop the county soldiers from counterattacking." I don't know that the matter is urgent, but since I decided to continue to attack the depths between the two counties, I should also know that sooner or later I will face the elite of the Hejian Camp? At least this time I will encounter Hejian when I deploy my troops to go deep. Army? So, even if it’s a notice, it’s best for his own subordinates to remind him, and it may not be useful if we just say it.”

Xiong Bonan was silent for a while, he couldn't understand: "If that's the case, what is he planning?"

"Picture yourself." Zhang Xing thought for a while, and couldn't help hugging his arms, then leaned against the pit and sighed. "If Zhuge Dewei's words are not bad, then Gao Shitong has actually lost his deep control over his subordinates, so compared with the officers and soldiers of the Hejian Camp, Gao Shitong must be more afraid of us...he is worried that we will come It broke the balance of the rebel army, captured the rebel army, and made him completely without a foothold, and also lost his foundation."

"If this is the case, how about we go to Zhuge Dewei and seize his military power?" Xiong Bonan was silent for a while, and then asked with difficulty.

"This can't be done." Zhang Xing immediately shook his head in response. "We dispatched troops who came across the river and were divided into Hebei in the east. It's not that there are no real heroes in the Hebei rebel army. They all watched. They obviously let Gao Shitong go before, but now they do it again. It will make them feel Our words don't count, and our intention to take precautions has also made us lose our hearts... Moreover, even if I can replace Gao Shitong, it may not be possible to integrate the troops in time and fight hard."

"Indeed." The Purple Faced Heavenly King heaved a sigh of relief.

At this point, Zhang Xing looked at Xiong Bonan on the opposite side and said slowly: "Heavenly King, regarding this northward march, the big talk is to punish the people and punish crimes. I have already said it in the resolution, but it is specific to the first battle. , I also have a few small ideas."

"Leader." Xiong Bonan answered with awe.

Zhang Xing put it seriously: "First, considering the support of the people and the geographical barriers, we must learn from the famous teachers. We are here to rescue and help, not to come from the fire!"

Xiong Bonan nodded heavily.

"Secondly, there are many heroes here in Hebei, and the officers and soldiers are also strong. You can't look down on them just because they are dead. This is because of the overall situation in Hebei in the past two years. , so we must act steadily, and we must win the first battle." Zhang Xing continued. "Thirdly, it's still the same principle. Even if you win, you can't be greedy. The first step is to gain a foothold!"

"I think it's all right." Xiong Bonan hurriedly expressed his opinion. "We discussed it at home before. The situation in Hebei is indeed difficult. It is different from no one in the east. There are hard stubble behind every fight... The goal of the first stage is the four counties south of Zhangshui, and only the river will be hit. Soldiers from a large battalion, beat them so hard that they dare not come, eat a county or two to stabilize and then talk about other things.”

Zhang Xing nodded heavily.

Besides, since the decision was made that day, Zhang Xing and others have not been busy in the south bank.The logistics can’t be fast, the logistics can’t be fast, and the selection of troops is difficult, but at the very least, the unified strategic thinking after crossing the river is aimed at Hebei being affected by Youzhou Daying, Hejian Daying, Taiyuan, and Dongdu respectively. However, it is not a big problem to divide and break based on the terrain.

The two continued to sit dryly for a while, basking in the sun for a while.

Xiong Bonan hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth in the pit: "Leader, I have a few words that are hard to say at home, I would like to take this opportunity to ask..."

"The Heavenly King said so." Zhang Xing, who was in a trance, recovered his strength and nodded. He could probably guess what the other party would ask.

"When it comes to fighting, you must be careful. Xu Dalang is the best at fighting among the big bosses, right?" Xiong Bonan didn't shy away. "I'm not saying that it's fine if I have an engagement with his sister, but I sincerely think so... If that's the case, why should he stay behind?"

"Because Xu Dalang is not only the best at fighting, but also the one who knows the most about power management, the one who understands people's hearts, and the one who knows how to bend down when necessary. He is an all-rounder." Zhang Xing didn't want to hide anything from people like Xiong Bonan, so he They are all telling the truth. "After we crossed the river, the situation changed. The status of Dongjun will only become more important. It will even become a bridgehead on the south bank and one of the several hubs between the north and the south. There needs to be someone from the side to withstand the pressure from the Central Plains, or to Kinki created pressure and came to respond to us... As for Hebei, we are mainly fighting a big camp in Hejian, and what we want is stability and truth, and what we want is ruthlessness and steadfastness, he may not be suitable."

"I believe what you said is the truth." Xiong Bonan thought for a while and continued to ask. "But is there any other meaning, such as dislike that he is too selfish when he manages power? So I don't want him to come to Hebei."

Zhang Xing thought about it for a while, and still chose to be honest: "I despise him for being too selfish, not only I despise him, many big leaders, including Li Gong, I despise them sometimes because of their selfishness, but I don't want to let him go because of this. Which one of them came to Hebei? Because when they came to Hebei and reopened the situation, even smart people like Xu Dalang would let me squeeze and round them, so how could they be afraid of their selfishness? To tell the truth, Shan Dalang and Cheng Dalang have even more selfishness , but I am going to take these two as left and right wingers."

"That's good, that's good." Xiong Bonan heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm afraid you are disgusted with the brothers and the situation in the Eastern Realm... Zhang Sanlang, in my opinion, especially compared with Hebei, our Eastern Realm is actually doing very well. You and all the brothers are amazing. .”

Zhang Xing was silent for a while without saying a word.

After quite a while, the leader of the Dethrone Dragon Gang spoke again, but he actually admitted something on his own initiative: "I don't hide it from the Heavenly King. In fact, I still have thoughts of loathing the situation in the Eastern Realm. You can guess part of it." There is still something right... The main reason is that they dislike the local leaders in the eastern border for enclosing their own territory, and their clans are entrenched. thoughts."

"Sure enough." Xiong Bo Nanfu became serious again. "I thought of this possibility when I heard your words yesterday."

"However, I didn't say to just leave them behind. The tens of thousands of people we brought are all from the Eastern Realm. How could we not care about our hometown in the Eastern Realm?" Zhang Xing replied sincerely. "But if you want to clean up the Eastern Territory, you have to create a big situation in Hebei and turn the customer into the main, so you can deal with it properly... This is my idea. And, no matter what, this will not delay the development of Hebei. Cut off the violent Wei and stabilize the world."

Xiong Bonan also smiled wryly: "In this case, I think it's too small."

"How could it be?" Zhang Xing said seriously. "Everyone in the gang has their own thoughts, but some people's thoughts are in line with the overall situation, and some people are misplaced, and even a single person has many kinds of thoughts, which makes them appear to be diverse... It is me. After using Sisi as a student in Dengzhou, is it not too selfish in people's eyes? Many personnel affairs, don't they seem to be eliminating dissidents? And this kind of talk about the righteousness of the gang, if the king doesn't tell me, who Can you tell me? The Dethrone Dragon Gang cannot lose the loyalty of the Heavenly King."

Only then did Xiong Bonan feel relieved.

In this way, the two avoided the personnel affairs on the south bank and the situation on the north bank. They basked in the sun in the extinguished earth pit and said a lot of superfluous words. Of course, they also discussed properly. If they don’t come back, they will leave here in the afternoon and immediately go north for reconnaissance. They don’t expect to be able to persuade Gao Shitong to come back. At least some people have to remind him to be in place. By the way, let’s see where Gao Shitong is going to attack, and what’s going on in Hejian?

It is best to be able to figure out the strength and route of the Hejian camp this time.

However, when the sun began to turn westward, there was a commotion inside and outside the military stronghold. The two climbed up from the pit, and saw a group of neat knights appearing outside the military stronghold. Flying a flag with the word "Fan", the first general was dressed neatly, and even wore a black cloak, as if he still had a majestic prestige, and he could be called a hero.When the soldiers in the village saw the person coming, of course they didn't ask for any password, but opened the door in a hurry.

"This should be the main general of this land, one of the leaders of the newly attached Hebei Rebel Army, the Fan Dacloak they are talking about, right?" Zhang Xing squinted his eyes to see.

"I recognize this person." Xiong Bonan also took a look, and immediately turned his head. "The real name is Fan Wang, he is from Xindu, and he had some friendship back then!"

"This person obviously came back from Gao Shitong, the king of heaven will ask him, if it is appropriate, we will not go to see the situation of Gao Shitong's march." Zhang Xing nodded and pouted. "Don't waste your time."

Xiong Bonan also nodded, and then jumped up, the symbolic Zixia true energy dragged a ray of light in the air, alarming many people in the army camp on the spot, even a little commotion, and up to this time, Zhang Xing also Only then did I realize that there were actually so many living people in the military village.

And the purple air fell to the foot of the gate, the leader Fan surnamed turned over and fell off the horse, bowed his hands and saluted, and then talked with Xiong Bonan.

Zhang Xing looked from afar and did not get involved.

But after only talking for a while, King Xiongtian jumped up again, turned back in a hurry, and with a serious look on his face again, told Zhang Xing a new news: "Leader! Gao Shitong sent troops overnight yesterday, and took away at least [-] troops." The core combat force, the target is Leling, it is said that there is an internal response! Fan Wang used to send the brave warriors from the general camp to Ban County to gather... Now the order is to him to guard the military camp here carefully to prevent the flanks from being attacked. Raid!"

Zhang Xing glanced at Fan Dacloak who was looking here, and after a little thought, he probably had expected it a long time ago, and he was able to answer calmly:
"First, Gao Shitong insisted on going his own way, and it was too late to stop him if he couldn't stop it; second, there was a big war in Hebei soon, and we couldn't wait for it to freeze; third, the military situation was complicated, and we could only guess that Hejian would sooner If you are prepared, you will gain the upper hand, but you can't find a starting point for a while... So, let's go back immediately, prepare for the battle, and cross the river to support at any time depending on the battle situation, and tell you this old acquaintance, let him send people across the river to report the military situation at any time ……how?"

"Okay!" Xiong Bonan replied without hesitation.

Zhang Xing immediately went to lead the horse, and King Xiongtian talked with the leader again.

After a while, Zhang Xing got the horse, went straight over, got on the horse together with Xiong Bonan, just bowed his hands to the leader named Fan and rode the horse straight away, intending to turn back immediately along the original road.

This time, the two of them didn't delay along the way, and even bypassed Ande City's sentry horses far away, and they really left in a hurry.

However, in the afternoon, the north wind swayed slightly, and shortly after turning back to the official road from the southerly position, Zhang Xingming, who was riding along the wind, was in a hurry to turn back, but suddenly reined in his horse on the road, turned his head and looked north, and borrowed his true energy to force him to turn back. Xiong Tianwang, who was more skillful in swinging his horse, was surprised, he had already galloped nearly a hundred steps, and turned back hastily.

"Dragon head?" After galloping back, Xiong Bonan was extremely surprised to see that the other party was just standing on the official road and looking north quietly.

Zhang Xing did not explain, but pointed to the north of the official road and asked, "Do you remember the intersection we just passed?"

"Just passed by yesterday, why don't you remember?" Xiong Bonan also pointed out. "From there, you go to Changhe in the north, and you can go to Xindu or Qinghe by crossing Zhangshui in Changhe. From there, to the northeast is the army stronghold when An De came with us... Some pedestrians parted ways here yesterday... What's wrong? ?”

"Go back!" Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and hit the horse. "I seem to see pedestrians on the road over there!"

"Isn't it unusual to have pedestrians?" Xiong Bonan hurriedly followed, and immediately asked in surprise. "Don't forget, yesterday we stopped by many pedestrians..."

"And then?" Zhang Xing asked immediately while galloping. "Apart from that group of people, were there other pedestrians?"

Xiong Bonan was stunned for a moment, but he still came to his senses after driving for a while: "That group of people are the first wave of pedestrians to leave Pingyuan City in the early morning, and I am afraid they are also the first wave of people to leave Pingyuan City these days... We are with them Together, of course no other pedestrians will be seen!"

"That's the way to go, where is the way from?" Zhang Xing asked back.

"It's a war, let's take a breath and leave quickly. How can there be a way? Those people are also going to take the opportunity to leave the plain..." Xiong Bonan became more and more puzzled, but he quickly shut up because he had already seen Zhang The reason for this turnaround is that there are pedestrians on the road on the north side of the far intersection, but they come from north to south.

And although there are not many people, they are scattered, not like a family.

"What's going on in the north, is the road blocked?" Xiong Tianwang, who had come to his senses, took the lead and leaped forward first, then reined in his horse in the road, and asked the visitor from a distance. "Why don't you go to Xindu?"

Passers-by waved their hands from a distance: "Heroes, go back! There are officers and soldiers on the Zhangshui pontoon bridge! There are too many to count, who dares to go? The men who went there were arrested as strong men, and the women entered the official kiln... Changhe City was closed. Everyone is running south!"

Xiong Bonan immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Xing, his face full of astonishment, until now, how could he still not understand?This is exactly the marching route of the Hejian battalion that was discussed before—it is nothing more than coming here, uniting with the county soldiers, attacking from the flanks, and surrounding Gao Shitong.

It can't be said that there are also Bohai Sea.

Zhang Xing thought about facing the north, sneered, and gave an order: "Heavenly King, the matter is more urgent, but there is no need to think about it. I will go back and prepare for the dispatch of troops now. I will use your foot power to go to that Gao Shizan. He was still in the manor, so he killed him first, signed his name, and called out the Dragon Gang, and made a meeting ceremony for everyone in Hebei!"

"Okay! How can I sign it?" In the increasingly strong north wind, Xiong Bonan also dropped all unnecessary thoughts and responded awe-inspiringly.

"Just write it like this." Zhang Xing sneered, immediately took out the paper, took a charcoal pencil and wrote a few words casually, then handed it to the other party, and then turned away and left.

How do you say that?

A brilliant plan usually goes wrong from the first step.

With the military discipline of the officers and soldiers, how can they be expected to cover up their whereabouts and not reveal the attack route?
