Delong

At the intersection on the official road, four groups of people met unexpectedly, and then left in twos.

Wang Xiongdan, Ma Ping'er and his party bumped into the rightful owner, so they naturally headed north with Dou Xiaoniang to Gaojibo.And since Zhang Shiniang bumped into Su Jingfang and let go of the matter on the other side, they wanted to return directly to Wu'an County with a reply letter and gifts... The only surprise was Feng Wuyi, who took the initiative after realizing something. He proposed to go to Wu'an County and pay homage to Li Junshou.

Obviously, the emperor's confidant began to change his views on "bandits". At the same time, he still did not move in other directions. He was still a person loyal to the Wei court or the emperor's private... Li Ding, the governor of Wu'an County, was a little worried.

The old man is going, how can he stop him?
This person is not only the emperor's confidant, but also the leader of a second- and third-rate family in Hebei, so he cannot be taken lightly.

However, Zhang Shiniang has a free and easy temperament, but Su Jingfang is a safe guy. That day, he slowly arrived in Wucheng County. In the evening, he sent a team of cavalry to protect him because it was inconvenient for him to ride horses. Return to Wu'an, so that I can explain to Master in advance.

Old man Feng was helpless, but he was really not good at riding a horse, so he had no choice but to accept this arrangement.

As a result, after traveling westward for only two or three days, I saw Hongshan looming in front of my eyes. After entering the territory of Wu'an County, I stayed at the Qiucheng post by the roadside that night, but unexpectedly met two groups of acquaintances from before.

On the one hand was Su Jingfang, who escorted his wife back to the county mansion, explained to his master, and was ordered to come back to meet Feng Wuyi, who was working on his feet; on the other side, Wang Xiongdan, Ma Pinger and Dou Xiaoniang, but Only take three or five rides.

It turned out that although Wang Xiongdan and others wanted to escort the family members of the rebels to the south, but considering that Ban County was separated by half Qinghe County and the entire Pingyuan County, it would be difficult to bring hundreds of women and children with them, and these women and children had to go through one more journey. Cruel winter, many injuries.Therefore, Wang Xiongdan, who was in charge, simply left most of the supplies and manpower in Gaojibo to take care of the situation, and then sent a letter to Banxian County, and at the same time, he and Ma Pinger came to Wu'an County, which is closer, to ask for help. Official status assisted in transporting these women and children.

What's more, we still have to count on getting a possible reply from Li Ding.

As for Dou Xiaoniang, she is just a teenager at heart, plus she was born close because she saw a female leader Ma Ping'er early on, so she inevitably followed her with a red band.

The three parties met in the Qiucheng Station, because of the weird fate before, there was no friction, and they even got along well... Su Jingfang, as a landlord, invited the other two groups to eat, and each had a couple of drinks .

"I really didn't expect that Li Silang is said to have learned the art of war from his uncle, and he has always been a member of the Ministry of War, but he is actually quite talented in management." After drinking for three rounds, in the lobby of the inn, Feng Wuyi was rarely moved. "The past two years in Hebei have been difficult, and everyone knows it, but the old man traveled all the way, Pingyuan, Wuyang, Qinghe, and the post shops were all abandoned. Only Jijun and Wu'an counties were in place. Jijun is next to Liyang warehouse, and there is no shortage. The materials are also the export of Hebei to the Eastern Capital, so it is natural that Wuan can do this, it is really amazing!"...

Su Jingfang was naturally excited when he heard that the other party praised his mentor, and he just beamed with joy for a moment: "A mentor is hard to find in the world, he can be called a hero beyond the world, a mere county, what's the point?"

Hearing this nasty flattery, Feng Wuyi didn't feel any discomfort, he just twisted his beard and laughed, Dou Xiaoniang just bowed her head and went to eat.

After all, Su Jingfang and Li Ding have a special relationship. They are both teachers and students, county lords and officials, and even children of benefactors and vassal families. Basically about the same.

Let go of blowing, and no one is easy to slap in the face.

"Who said the word "The Heroes of the Transcendent World" in the first place?" Unexpectedly, Wang Xiongdan thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked seriously on the table.

Su Jingfang was slightly taken aback, and actually blushed a little.

"What is the origin of this statement?" Feng Wuyi asked beside him.

"Don't hide it from Master Feng." Wang Xiongdan answered seriously. "If I remember correctly, it should be the leader of my family who praised Fourth Master Li. I am a personal guard and I am often accompanied by attendants. I must have heard it. However, there were not many people present at the time, and they were still in the East. It’s a bit strange that it’s actually spread here.”

Feng

Wu Yi suddenly realized that according to the way Zhang Xing, the rebel, interacted with Li Ding, the sheriff, and Su Jingfang's reaction, it is likely that Zhang Xing wrote this statement in the letter, and then Li Ding felt complacent and couldn't bear it. Showing off to the people around him... This shows that this Li Ding really values ​​the traitor very much.

Having said that, after Qian Tang's failure experience, Feng Wuyi obviously gained a lot of wisdom, but he just pretended not to know, but smiled and said: "In this way, Li Junshou's talent and virtue are obvious to all. Your leader has a little Care is also common."

"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Xiongdan knew Feng Wuyi's identity a long time ago, so he continued to sigh with his eyes closed. "First of all, my family's leader really respects Fourth Master Li, and it's definitely not a little caring... As I remember well, "The Heroes of the Transcendence" is just one of the words, and it should be called "Wolong". What, Li Si does not come out, but what is the world ", what "the world's strategy is one stone, others can win two battles, Li Ding alone has eight battles"... All these are countless."

Feng Wuyi almost tore off his beard, and Su Jingfang was also dumbfounded... The former was amazed by Zhang Xing's rhetoric to win people's hearts, while the latter came to his senses that these words that were circulated in the county were all from that Zhang San Lord.

If this is the case, if my benefactor doesn't say anything, I'm afraid that he values ​​that Mr. Zhang very much in his heart.

"Secondly." Wang Xiongdan continued. "Li Junshou's talent is so brilliant, but it's not obvious to all... The leader once said that Li Siye was in Dongdu in the past, and he was depressed. At that time, the only one who was willing to use him was Yang Shen, who wanted to rebel. He saw his talent. The only ones who are willing to believe him and respect him are Mrs. Zhang and the two or three leaders of my family.

"What's even more admirable is that the leader of my family, since Chen, a Tianhan from the north and a warrior in the army, can easily win the governor of Wu'an County by offering auspiciousness during the Eastern Expedition, but Fourth Master Li has such a background and talent, but he can't help it. Only by relying on the struggle between Jiangdu and Dongdu, and internal strife in Guanlong, can I take over the position that the leader of my family has abandoned like a shoe, and stretch it a little... It can be seen that this stupid king is so casual about the affairs of the world? And the Guanlong family is so proud. How arrogant is it?"...

After all, Su Jingfang was young. Hearing this, although he also sensed that the other party was flattering Zhang San, he felt that he understood a lot of things in an instant.

In contrast, who is Feng Wuyi, of course he knows that the other party's words have the intention of opening his eyes for the rebels, and he even guesses that he is worried, and he is here to tease him, but he doesn't know why, after listening to the other party Talking about it, I feel quite the same.

The Guanlong family is arrogant and arrogant, so naturally there is no need to say more.

As for the saint, Feng Wuyi's loyalty to the saint is to be loyal to the saint, but he has also seen clearly over the years that the saint is devoted to the so-called "big" things, but he doesn't care about the details of administration, and even more so in personnel affairs. Regardless of talent or virtue...why can't Li Ding's background be used?Others don't know, but he Feng Wuyi can't guess?
Nine out of ten it is because of the influence of Li Ding's mother's Han family.

On the one hand, the sage wants to achieve great success, to unify the world, and to establish a great cause, but on the other hand, he regards suppressing Guanlong and sorting out the military nobles as the most important. Nature is suppressed.

Regrettably, this kind of policy not only made Li Ding, an excellent Guanlong-based talent, be suppressed for a long time, so as to generate resentment. The success fell short, and even the cause of suppressing the Guanlong military family was abandoned.

Just as Feng Wuyi's thoughts were running, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded in his ears.

"As the saying goes, if chaos starts from above, if Cao Che does not die, the world will be difficult to level; if Guanlong is not sparse, the world will be difficult to communicate!" Wang Xiongdan continued to speak proudly. "Since you are a hero, you should work together,"

"Bold!" Feng Wuyi instinctively jumped up, glaring at each other.

However, this attack only frightened Dou Xiaoniang, who was eating her fourth bowl of noodles, and attracted the anger of Ma Pinger, who had always been a serious listener: "It's up to you to rely on the old and sell the old to talk about things that people in the world talk about." bold?"

Feng Wuyi's hands trembled, and the guards behind him got up early in shock, but as if they had been told earlier, dozens of Wu'an County knights also got up one after another, which caused many people in the post shop to panic for a while, and they seemed to want to flee.

Old man Feng replied Qingming, only trying to sit back under the attention of many people.

But he still retorted angrily on the spot: "How can the world be equal?"

"Is it because the elders of the eight counties in the east are not considered as people in the world, or are the elders in the six counties of Huaixi considered as people in the world?" Ma Ping'er also refuted. "Or here in Hebei, the government army killed so many people in the past two years, and the result was one after another. The unstoppable rebels are not considered the people of the world? These people are dying. They just want to rebel, just want Killing the tyrant and eradicating the tyrant Wei is not a public opinion, what is it?!"

Feng Wuyi was at a loss for words for a while, but Dou Xiaoniang, who was still puffed up, nodded heavily when she heard this, expressing her agreement.

"Well said." Wang Xiongdan immediately followed, speaking clearly. "Under the three campaigns, every time a million families are destroyed, tens of millions of people are affected. The matter of the destruction of tens of millions of families is seen by the whole world. If the tyrant tyrannizes Wei, what is it if it is not the opinion of the people of the world?"

Su Jingfang sat still, turning a deaf ear to it, while the other guests in the lobby of the nearby post shop reluctantly sat down again, but whispered. …

Seeing this scene, Feng Wuyi was discouraged for a while: "It's not you two arguing with me, I'm afraid it's the rebel Zhang Xing who is arguing with me?"

"That's true, but if the truth is true or not, what's the source?" Wang Xiongdan was open-minded. "I only have one thing to tell you. If you think you can find the hearts of the Great Wei in Hebei, it would be ridiculous... If I were your Excellency, since I returned to my hometown, I would simply go back to my hometown in Changle, teach people to read and write, build foundations and count, and win. But running around here is futile and disgusting."

"No such thing." Su Jingfang hurriedly interjected to comfort him. "Master specially sent me to welcome..."

Feng Wuyi was laughed out of anger instead.

And with a smile, he also realized, what do he care about with a group of children?It would be fine if Zhang Xing was here, and it would be fine to argue with him, but these two young people just got the rebel's usual words to show off, and Su Jingfang is even more of a slippery boy.

The key is to see Li Ding again.

Thinking of this, he simply cupped his hands and went upstairs to rest with a half-belly sulking.

When he walked up the stairs, he heard the excitement below resume. He even heard Su Jingfang curiously ask if Zhang Longtou had other words of praise for his teacher. He wanted to learn...

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, everyone went west together. Yongnian, the governor of Wu'an County, was actually to the east. They reached Qiucheng Station, but after another day of hard work, they arrived in the city at night.

The outstanding Wolong Li Ding did not meet anyone immediately, but placed the two groups of people in a rather magnificent building in the city, and it is indeed in the famous Heidi Grand View in Hebei...Under the Red Mountain, if there is no Heidi The Grand Master's Grand View is rather strange... Another night of sleep, but the next day he simply came to the Black Emperor Temple in person, and then went to the back room alone, and asked Su Jingfang to invite two groups of guests one by one.

Of course, Feng Wuyi must be invited first.

The two sides met only in the back hall of the Heidi Temple to exchange greetings and greetings. As soon as they were seated, Feng Wuyi, who had learned the lesson from Ping Yuan, went straight to the point: "Mr. When the country is in danger, the situation in Hebei is even more difficult, but please don't shake your loyalty and make the situation worse."

On the threshold, Su Jingfang pricked up his ears early.

Unexpectedly, Li Ding, with black eye circles and unshaven beard, heard this and smiled wryly in the audience: "Mr. Feng thinks that I will rebel because of my personal relationship with Zhang Xing, so I don't hesitate to leave the house and come to warn me? "

"The old man didn't say that." Feng Wuyi shook his head in response. "As for coming here this time, it's just to express my personal feelings, and I don't mean to bully anyone."

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng." Li Ding sighed and spoke seriously. "Within two years, it is unlikely that I will rebel, and if I do, it will have nothing to do with Zhang Sanlang or the Dragon Gang."

Feng Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt absurd, how could he feel relieved for such a promise?

So, the man continued to be dumbfounded, and asked again: "After two years, Mr. Li is planning to rebel?"

"No such thing." Li Ding shook his head. "I've never planned to turn it around... But in the current situation, can Dongdu survive for two or three years? Once Dongdu can't support it, Jiangdu can't support it, and Great Wei will basically be finished. Great Wei will be finished. When the time comes When all the heroes rise together, the world is against each other, and people are in a situation where they can't help themselves. As the governor of the county, I want to protect the lives of the people of this county and the soldiers under my command...

Responsible. "

Feng Wuyi was stunned, intending to refute, but thinking of the argument the day before yesterday, he felt powerless again, he couldn't even argue with a few kids, so what about this one?
Therefore, he only tried to force himself to ask: "So, if the situation in the Great Wei is not lost, Li Junshou will not take the initiative to join forces with that Zhang San?"

"No." Li Ding replied firmly. "Feng Gong... the current situation, I am not afraid of anyone, and no one else is here, let me tell you the truth... You guessed the wrong direction. Since Zhang Xing has arrived in Hebei, if he wants to gain a foothold, he must get up from the southeast corner , It’s smooth sailing, how can I get to Wu’an County in two or three years, and Wu’an County and I really want to turn against me, I’m afraid we have to start from Taiyuan instead.”

Feng Wuyi was stunned on the spot, but after a while he suddenly realized.

"Feng Gong has been in front of the imperial court for a long time, so he should know the local military and political traditions?" Li Ding explained calmly without changing his expression. "The Red Mountain-Purple Mountain-Black Mountain lineage is condescending in Hebei. Therefore, whether it is the current dynasty, the Eastern Qi Dynasty, or the earlier Great Zhou Dynasty, all of them are based on Taiyuan, with Wu'an, Zhaojun, Xiangguo, and Hengshan. The county is the minion, condescending, and controlling Hebei... This is a military system, and it is also a political tradition that has hundreds of thousands of years, and it is also due to geography."

Feng Wuyi remained silent, but he knew that what the other party said was the truth. Under the military system of the Great Wei, Taiyuan had a huge influence on the four counties in Hebei along the mountains, and the Great Wei always encouraged them to weaken and control Hebei. So.

The most obvious evidence is that although there is no permanent establishment, there have been frequent occasions when these four counties are temporarily required to report military affairs to Taiyuan's left behind.

And Taiyuan, Bai Hengqiu...

"Feng Gong." Li Ding continued. "I heard from my student that yesterday you felt that my Wu'an people's livelihood is not bad, but do you know why it is not bad?"

Feng Wuyi came back to his senses, still in a state of confusion: "Naturally, Lord Li's government is strict and benevolent, the so-called hero beyond the world..."

"That was a casual joke." Li Ding replied seriously. "The reason why Wu'an County was able to do so was because after I took office, I quickly wiped out the rebels...the rebels in the territory. Then, in the name of Taiyuan, I refused the entry of soldiers and horses from Hejian Camp and Youzhou Camp. At that time, Yecheng in the south and Taiyuan in the west sent food at the same time. To be honest, Taiyuan only gave half of what Yecheng gave. I can't refuse. That's why I said, Your Excellency is thinking too much, and your thoughts are going astray. What Zhang Xing wants to deal with is the Hejian camp. The key lies in the Bohai Sea and the plains, followed by Wuyang, Qinghe, Hejian, and Boling. This side has to follow Taiyuan's swing. In fact, the two have nothing to do with each other."

Feng Wuyi really had nothing to say, he paused for a while, he could only get up and cup his hands: "I think it's wrong, the British Duke is loyal, you will definitely serve the country loyally by following him."

Li Ding just laughed, and reluctantly bowed his hands.

Feng Wuyi sighed and left directly. Immediately after, Wang Xiongdan, Ma Pinger and Dou Xiaoniang who were waiting outside entered under the leadership of Su Jingfang.

"I already know why you are here." Regarding these few people, Li Ding, who was sitting still in his seat, was much more straightforward. "I will arrange human escorts. I only want to go to the official team in Bohai, let Xiao Su take the whole team there, let him prepare, and you can leave right away..."…

The three of Wang Xiongdan were overjoyed, so they wanted to bow their hands in thanks.

Unexpectedly, Li Dingfu waved his hand again, and continued to say: "The time is short, but in two or three days, I have no time to reply. I will reply slowly in the future and send someone to send it... There is only one important point. I feel irritable. You can help me." Let me tell him that the killing is purely a woman's benevolence, and it is even a bit hypocritical, which is not appropriate at all."

Wang Xiongdan and the other two were each startled.

"When is this? And where is it?" Li Ding sneered while sitting there with dark circles under his eyes. "Should the world be at peace? And Hebei and the Eastern Territory are the same thing? Counting the three expeditions, how many thousands of people died in Hebei? In troubled times, heavy codes are used to quickly restore order and people's hearts. Kill as soon as possible, but he always It's killing, killing, one out of ten becomes one in thirty, then one in four, one in two, will it become two in three later? The words are more ruthless than anyone else, and one It's a set routine, but when it comes to doing things, it's always polite, as if insisting on killing can give yourself an explanation. What should be discarded, what should be thrown away, such a woman's benevolence will only delay the situation, how can I do great things ? he will sooner or later because

This inexplicable benevolence and loyalty was killed in Hebei! "

Wang Xiongdan hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything...Because of what Li Ding said, many people inside the Dragon Clan were aware of it.Mr. Zhang's killing looked fierce, but compared with the whole environment, it was not cruel, but a kind of inexplicable kindness.

It's like a private compromise between a good man and the current situation.

"Forget it." After finishing speaking in one breath, Li Ding shook his head, as if he was bored. "That's it... you guys rest for a day, go back early, and wait for Xiaosu to find you, don't make any mistakes. As for the detailed rules of "Six Secret Teachings" he asked for, I will try my best to complete it for him."

The three of them didn't dare to say much, so they could only hand in their hands and leave.

Besides, the three of them heard a lot of complaints, but after all, it was a matter between two big figures, which was meaningless. Instead, they got this promise, and they were really happy when they got an explanation for the current matter.

And sure enough, Su Jingfang was quick, and quickly formed a convoy to find the three of them, and it was only the next day that he successfully led the team to set off.

But on this day, a shadow was cast over the hearts of the three, because the weather was gloomy, the clouds were thickening, and under the whistling of the north, someone who knew Hebei's geography had told them early that there was likely to be a heavy snow covering the whole of Hebei. to.

Sure enough, although the group tried their best to speed up, they saw snowflakes rolling down from the sky as soon as they left the boundary of Wu'an County, and they became bigger and denser.

Dou Xiaoniang was worried about the people in Gaojibo, her complexion was naturally unsightly, and then she thought that in the whole of Hebei, according to the saying, there are few such people in Wu'an County, most of them are from the Qinghe side, her heart became more and more uneasy, and her complexion became even more unsightly Get up, because I don't know how many people will be as defenseless as Gaojibo's people, and then countless people will be starved.

"Good snow."

Unexpectedly, just as Dou Xiaoniang opened her eyes a little bit and was worried about the people in Hebei, Li Ding suddenly smiled in the back hall of the Heidi Temple in Wu'an County.

Zhang Shiniang turned out from behind, curious: "After the snow falls, everything is frozen, why is Shiro not sad but happy?"

Li Ding was slightly taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "I was educated by Zhang Sanlang again... He said in the letter that it is snowing now, although some people may not be able to survive the winter on the spot, but if it does not snow, the whole of next year will be better." Hebei is bound to be flooded with locusts...by then, the whole territory will really be dead without a place to die."

Zhang Shiniang thought about it for a while, and lost her mind.

PS good night.
