Chapter 332 Long Shangxing (11)

"Zhang Longtou is sitting here. Although he is reading in the courtyard, it is better than the red mountain pressing down on the top, and the Qinghe River, but he is already overwhelmed." Cui Erlang can talk after all.

Zhang Xingwen also put down his book and laughed: "Who is this Qinghe referring to? Is your Cui family or Cao Shancheng? I just read the document, and it only said that your Cui family is in the two rooms of Qinghe, and there is one Chengdan and four Ningdan. There are countless meridians, and almost all the disciples of the meridian, regardless of gender, build their foundations and study... When the method of Wenxiu reaches this point, can Hongshan fly away even if it is pressed down?"

"Zhang Longtou, don't joke around." Cui Suchen answered seriously. "Thunderstorms, thunder and lightning, adult birds may be able to flap their wings and walk away, but how can the chicks and eggs in the nest resist it?"

"That's right, between wind and rain, adult birds may have life, and under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?" Zhang Xing said seriously. "Besides, there is a reason for Cui Shi's situation today. The so-called I don't kill people, people die because of me... I really can't ignore it... That's okay, Cui Erlang, I will write you a document. If you think Cao Shancheng is really crazy Well, the two houses of your Qinghe Cui family are really in danger, and if you don’t act, something will happen, so you can just take this document, go to the public house over there during the day or come here at night to talk to me, and I will send it to Jiangling directly. Go west with the eight battalions that have been reorganized on the Western Front, and you can fight wherever you say... How about it?"

Cui Suchen was silent for a while, and then respectfully saluted in the yard under Xie Minghe's surprised eyes: "So, Cui is disrespectful."

Zhang Xing nodded, turned around and went to the house to write the paperwork.

And Xie Minghe and Cui Suchen followed in, and when they passed the threshold one by one, they couldn't help but glance at the novel on the corridor, but it turned out to be the bad street "The Romance of the Three Zun", about the black emperor, the red The three heroes of the Emperor Empress, the Witch Clan, and the Sin and Dragon rise together, and the story of the three clans of the Human Lich and the Witch fighting for hegemony.

Besides, the era of the three gods is more than 3000 years away from now. Although it is not as far away as the Qing Emperor who ascended to the sky 8000 years ago, it is still vague enough, especially after the White Emperor reappeared, and in fact completed the unification of the human race. The feeling of ruining the order of the two clans of Liches...so many words are in the air.

In addition, don't talk about the Red Emperor, even the witch dragon's ability is quite bluffing, and the Black Emperor has always been very bad, so this is not easy to belittle, that is not good to ridicule, In the end, what was written in the history books was a mess, which was too much for His Holiness.

This in turn led to another voice - reading history books is worse than reading novels.

Of course, "The Romance of the Three Zuns" is in no way comparable to the later "Biography of Li Yue" in terms of literariness.

As for Zhang Dalong looking at it at this time, it can only be said that he doesn't care about what the black emperor chooses, and he doesn't care about his behavior, but he still cares in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have come to look for clues with such an old novel .

After writing the document and signing it, Zhang Xing picked it up with both hands and handed it over, and Cui Suchen also took it with both hands.

Immediately, the latter asked again: "Zhang Longtou, I take the liberty, this document refers specifically to the situation in Qinghe, I probably understand it, but now there are eight battalions here in Jiangling, and there will be more or less in the future, so what?"

"Just a little more." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "This round of our army reorganization is not the kind of reorganization that we did when we first arrived in Hebei in order to break the factionalism. Allocate some battalion heads to the new generals, and then add specific ordnance according to the general's requirements to improve the combat effectiveness of the army... That is, spring plowing is too late... So, from the middle of March, the front line and here will be reorganized The number of people will only increase.”

Cui Erlang listened earnestly, but Xie Minghe felt like a thorn in his throat, he could only hold back.

After hearing this, Cui Suchen not only didn't realize it, but continued to ask: "Let's take the liberty to ask the leader again, what's the matter with the faction of the Dragon Clan? I'm in Xingyang, and I often hear people say that sooner or later Zhang and Li will be together." Internal strife, why did the Dethrone Dragon Gang grow bigger every now and then?"

Xie Minghe no longer tried to speak, but sneered in his heart—you know how presumptuous it is?
"Of course there are factions, but it's not as simple as Zhang and Li." Zhang Xing replied seriously, but he said in detail what he had said to Xiong Bonan before, and then said. "At the end of the day, everyone was forced to revolt because of violence and immorality, and it's okay for me and Li Longtou to call out a mob. There are naturally many factions inside... It's just a confrontation between me and Li Longtou."

"Let's not talk about it." Cui Suchen retorted holding the document. "As time goes on, because of the name, the leader is afraid that there will be troubles with Li Longtou, and there is really antagonism?"

"Indeed." Zhang Dalong also sighed. "Li Gong, there is a tendency to act only when you oppose me."

"But if that's the case, it's still the same sentence. There are internal disputes and mobs. Why does the Dethrone Dragon Gang grow bigger every time?"

"I think one is that the violent Wei family is in decline, and the general trend of the world is irreversible. The other is that our Dragon Gang is a serious way of talking about construction and governance. Those ordinary rebels who are gangsters. However, the most important point is that we pay attention to pointing out the concept of the gang as a whole from the beginning. We always talk about it and do things in the name of the gang all the time. , It also created a gap in the organization to relieve the pressure of disputes, so that everyone can speak and oppose... By now, everyone has adapted to this system, and even if they have any personal resentment towards me, they all know to go to the resolution Embarrass me at the meeting, rather than thinking about doing something reckless." Zhang Xing answered with a straight face.

"Why did the leader come to Hebei again?" Cui Suchen kept asking. "Is it because internal disputes are becoming more and more irresistible, do you want to avoid internal conflicts? Or should we guide the leaders of the eastern border to leave to prevent disputes? But won't this in turn cause North-South confrontation?"

"Yes and no, on the one hand, I came to Hebei to avoid internal strife, because the Chulong Gang really cannot afford internal strife, but this internal strife is not aimed at Li Longtou, but because the Chulong Gang started in the East and was born in the East. The leaders of the Dragon Gang are entangled with each other, and the roots are intertwined. The system, law, and political strategy I want to implement will all be filtered by them layer by layer... These people account for almost [-]% of the big leaders and leaders of the Dragon Gang, and [-]% of the local rudders. The deputy helmsman, [-]% of the grassroots officials, so I really dare not mess around there... In the same way, Li Gong also took the initiative to be the one who spoke for them and caught the boss." Zhang Xingyi said. "On the other hand, anyone with a little strategic common sense knows that after hundreds of years of chaos, regional politics, military affairs, and culture have become traditions. In Jiangdong of Southern Chen, one must be chosen, and then each will flatten Bashu, Beidi, and Nanling, and fight for Jindi, Jingxiang, and Dongdu. Therefore, no matter how complicated the situation in Hebei is, it will be difficult for the inside of the Dragon Clan No matter how hard the tearing is, you must cross the river!"

Cui Suchen nodded repeatedly, but couldn't wait to ask again: "So, the leader's ambition is to clear up the world and establish a new dynasty?"

Zhang Xing laughed.

Holding the paper, Cui Suchen replied without hesitation, "Why is the dragon head laughing?"

"Do you think you can get rid of Bao Wei and stabilize the world... especially the last four words, you can put anything in it?" Zhang Xing asked with a smile behind his hands. "I think it's a perfunctory statement, so I want to ask my so-called serious ambition?"

"Exactly." Cui Suchen nodded.

"This is where the problem lies."

Zhang Xing smiled, and finally took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and came to the threshold. It was already dark at this time, but his eyesight was very good after he cultivated, so he bent down and picked up the book , and flip through it a bit.

"In life, who doesn't want to imitate the sages and establish an immortal feat? Who doesn't want to forge a big river, the Yangtze River? From this point of view, it is not only to clear the world and establish a new dynasty? It is said that the saints conquered Dongyi three times to bring about their own destruction. , but from the point of view of reason and ambition, why can’t Dongyi be merged, and then the whole world can be unified, and the whole world can be unified? It is said that the four royal positions are full, the three brilliance will be born, and there will be no mortals ascending to the sky. But since there are role models, why not Thinking of moving mountains and seas, dethroning dragons and building industries, implementing new policies, gaining merits and virtues from heaven, and becoming supreme?"

Cui Suchen didn't say a word, but Xie Minghe couldn't help but said on the spot: "Well said."

"But I also know." Zhang Xing looked at the book in his hand, the ice true energy bloomed, and a little light shone slightly, but his tone became distant again. "Life is born, and the dead are like gentlemen. They will not give up day and night. Those who cannot attain the Tao will have a limited age. Those who have attained the Tao will also lose their wits. A tributary, even a tributary of a tributary, or even a stream of water in a tributary, but if this is the case, why not do it? Cui Erlang."

At this moment, Cui Suchen, who was stupefied, was finally stunned: "Leader?"

"You ask me about my ambitions. My ambitions are as big as they are big and as small as they are very small." Zhang Xing held the book and stood on the threshold, turning his head sideways to look at it under the dim light. "The big ones are arrogant and unspeakable, and the small ones are trivial and unreasonable, but I always want to follow the idea and path I have talked to you before, and try my best to go forward... Maybe I will walk around when I encounter a stone. Going uphill may be slow, and going downhill may be fast, but you have to try your best to go on, and it’s best to go to the end, if you can’t get there, you can also get less muddy and take a few more steps.”

Cui Suchen nodded, but stood there holding the document, and didn't ask any further questions.

Zhang Xing also nodded, and stepped aside.

Xie Minghe hesitated to speak, almost stomping his feet.

But Cui Suchen walked out with the papers in his hands, but walked down the corridor, turned a corner, and stopped again: "Today, I came to the door in a hurry and asked Longtou so many words for no reason. Didn't Longtou ask me anything?"

"Then ask one." Zhang Xing laughed again when he heard the words. "That uncle of yours was Congealing Dan in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, but now he is only returning to Chengdan... Qinghe Cui's father and son were the ones who could lose their temper with Yang Bin and Yang Shen. They are great masters, masters, and he didn't To Grandmaster?"

Cui Suchen thought about it seriously, and responded seriously: "It's not that I don't want to answer, but that I don't even know."

"That's right." Zhang Xing nodded and raised his hand in response. "Chun Ri is drowsy, Cui Erlang got the letter, let's go back and rest earlier!"

Then Cui Erlang left again holding the documents.

Xie Minghe was speechless, and hurriedly chased him out, not saying anything on the way, and it was not easy to wait for the other party to enter the residence... Cui 26 and 27, the two domestic dogs were still crying inside...but they were caught halfway in an alleyway other side:
"Cui Erlang, you are so unlucky... After all, Zhang Longtou is the lord of nine counties and one state. In the past, he was also the lord of Eastern Chu Wancheng. For such a person, because you asked him in private, he was appointed as the general." Confidential, personal ambitions are all told to you, but you just leave with a piece of paper, how absurd?"

"Thank you brother." Cui Suchen replied helplessly. "Of course I know Zhang Longtou's sincerity, but firstly, my family is in Xingyang, only under the eyes of Dongdu. Secondly, here in Qinghe, the family still has official duties, so how can I say anything easily? I just want to help Things should be cleared up, and then words."

"You Cui family really distinguish between public and private." Xie Minghe let go of his hand after hearing this, but stared at the Chinese book in the other's hand and sneered. "I still have to issue a letter of appointment and wait. I read history books, and it has always been a wild marriage."

Cui Suchen's expression changed, he immediately put away the documents and walked away.

Only then did Xie Minghe realize that he was being frivolous—that day in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Gao clan in Bohai took advantage of the momentum, and a general of the Gao clan failed to ask for a daughter of the Cui clan, so he directly took away a daughter of the Cui clan from Qinghe, raped her by the roadside, Counting as a couple, this matter has been unknown for generations, and it is still the biggest pain on the face of the Cui family's children.

Some are too quick to talk.

But things have come to this, and there is nothing to do, so I came to look for Zhang Xing again, and saw that Mr. Zhang didn't even light a candle, and just tilted his head on the porch, blowing the spring breeze after the rain, and came to study, secretly scolded the boy I will enjoy it, so I just stepped forward:
"Zhang Sanlang, why are you so pampering that guy? Since he received the document, he should put on a posture to do things... How can he continue to hold it? To put it bluntly, the document is a marriage certificate, and he has the right to deploy troops. Knowing the secrets of our army, we should make a gesture, and at the very least say something to help Zhang Longtou take down Qinghe... Why did you just leave like this? You let him go too?"

"Three reasons..." Zhang Xing didn't raise his head. "First, unless Xue Changxiong makes a comeback and brings reinforcements from Youzhou or Taiyuan, we can only disclose the military situation to shock Qinghe and Wuyang counties and put pressure on them. There is no theory that military leaks will cause danger; He came to visit twice, trying to make a distinction between public and private, that is, he is him, and Qinghe Cui is Qinghe Cui. Don’t be too obvious. If I didn’t guess it, then I didn’t. It’s okay to take care of others’ emotions ; thirdly, and most importantly, not only he is carrying it, but I am actually carrying it too... He wants to distinguish between public and private, not to be close to the clan, and to cut tofu with a knife, but I also have feelings for the children of this kind of family. Don't worry about it... Brother Xie, tell me, these descendants of the family are used to being pampered, do they really have the faith to go on like this with me?"

Xie Minghe finally also shook his head and smiled: "The situation is so good, you have to worry about your family... We also have a gentleman's agreement."

"My appointment with Cui Suchen is about a gentleman, but he has a soft temperament, unlike Brother Xie, who is heroic and handsome, so he didn't say it out loud." Zhang Xing continued to read his book with his head down.

Satisfied, Xie Minghe shook his head, turned around and left, and left the yard. He wanted to go straight back to the plain, but he couldn't bear the itching, so he went to find Chen Bin again, and told the story again. , tall and handsome".

Chen Bin, who was sorting out the paperwork alone, didn't care about any redundant words after listening to it. He was just a little surprised, and then he felt relieved: "Then it depends on Cui Erlang's method. If he can empty out Qinghe, when he marches, Then he will destroy Cao Shancheng, who is putting on a deathbed and has Xue Wanbi as his wings, and the army will be greatly boosted at that time! The rumors of the so-called unarmed victory in the previous Ma Mianhe battle will also disappear. of."

Xie Minghe nodded, and asked curiously again: "You said, before Zhang Sanlang passed Hebei, he was surrounded by merchants, powerful butchers, and strong men. Even Wei Xuanding, a wild Taoist priest who couldn't get along in Hebei, could be promoted to the chief. There are some descendants, and they are all those who can't stand on the stage. They have to join forces, and they still don't wait to see him. Why do you and I have Cui Erlang after passing through Hebei? It can also be regarded as Guan Long's serious background, and there is also Yuan Baocun who secretly communicated with the former royal family..."

"A sudden change in Huaixi shows that the sage can't be saved from drunkenness, dreams and death, and the corruption of the Great Wei Dynasty is beyond salvation. Many people have stopped thinking about it since then; "Chen Bin blurted out the answer. "Secondly, the leader himself has some opinions. What the black emperor chooses, and the reversal of true energy is just a foreign thing. At a young age, he can hold many powerful forces in the gang, stand firm against Wei, and can hold back a few battles. The most important thing is that no matter how crude his political strategy is, it seems to be the right way after all, so naturally someone is willing to follow."

Xie Minghe nodded again and again, but asked again: "I want to ask, Mr. Chen, are you afraid that Cui Erlang will come, and you will lose your authority as a housekeeper?"

"I'm not afraid at all." Chen Bin stared at the other party coldly. "I've long wanted to drive Zu Chenyan, a bastard who can only sigh and sigh, back to Henan... If Cui Erlang came, he didn't want to be known, so he just came to do an invisible internal history, and then he and Yan Qing went together Put up the shelf of the grammatical official beside Zhang Longtou, so that I can free up my hands, have a serious calculation with Yan Qing, take all the power of local security and personnel, and then send someone to watch over you."

Xie Minghe was bored, and sighed again: "I saw interesting things today, but everyone was cold and difficult."

"You might as well worry about yourself..." Chen Bin was extremely helpless. "Do you want to lead a battalion of soldiers? If you don't make it clear, people in Ban County will just think that you don't want to lead soldiers."

"I wanted to win against Wan Douhou, but the leader was tied to death by a battalion of soldiers. I really can't sit still." Xie Minghe had no choice but to respond. "So it's really hard to decide."

"The style of the aristocratic family likes to abandon reality and look forward to the future, so our Southern Dynasty has suffered a complete defeat." Chen Bin raised his head and sighed. "Aren't we the most outstanding group of Nan Chen's remnants?"

Xie Minghe finally spoke up.

Almost at the same time, in the other courtyard where Cui's children temporarily lived, Cui Suchen showed the Chinese script in his hand to Cui 26 and 27, and then comforted: "Okay, don't cry, Qinghe Cui is safe...Which one of you stay here Make a report with Zhang Longtou, who will come back to Qinghe with me, and will settle accounts with Captain Shi of Zhangnan, Deputy Captain Han of Licheng, and Juncheng Sun of Chiping in turn! Ask them why they want to harm innocent people like us?"

26 and 27 stopped crying, hesitated, trembled, looked at each other, and after a long while, 26 came to ask: "Second brother, we are really frightened after going through such a thing, why don't we both stay here in Jiangling?"

Rao Cui Erlang has always kept his secrets hidden, and he broke his defenses again and again tonight, so he couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

PS: Happy New Year’s Day everyone... It’s 2023. I used to wish everyone a fortune, but now I wish everyone enough food, clothing and warmth, and a safe family.
