Delong

"Xu Da is indeed dishonest."

Zhang Xing was also a little helpless, it wasn't just Wang Shuyong, there were more exaggerated people from Puyang to Weinan these days than Wang Wulang, but Wang Wulang was Wang Wulang after all, so he couldn't be fooled like before. "However, this guy explained himself when he came up, and his attitude is still correct. His biggest problem is to exclude dissidents, private schemes, in order to support private soldiers, withhold taxes from the five counties of Dongjun, and privately promise to help on the premise of personal allegiance. He smuggled a lot of drinks and food but did not report to the company, and he didn't pay any taxes. Even the rewards given to the fields were done by the gang. Enwei fell because of his personal tax in East County. Half of it will fall on the heads of his private soldiers, and Li Lingzhi is in a daze."

Wang Shuyong was stunned for a moment.

And Xu Shiying finally opened his eyes, instinctively wanting to say something, but after meeting Zhang Xing's casually turning eyes, Fu shut up honestly, but still rolled up his body protection like a python and sat down. Close your eyes and meditate there.

It seemed that he was practicing some magical technique, and it seemed that he was raising a pet.

After a while, Wang Wulang hesitated, and finally came to ask: "So, the third brother really found him in the tax check?"

Zhang Xing was also silent for a while, and then turned his hands behind his back: "Wu Lang, do you think that my trip is just to engage in some personnel and political conspiracies, even the encounter with Xu Dalang is mostly conspiracies? There are some rumors that Xu Dalang and I are in the same group and want to join hands to lure some people into being fooled? Including some outrageous rumors that I came here this time simply to play big chess, to catch everything in one go, and then scrap it Dethrone the Dragon Gang, proclaim the kingship and the like?"

Wang Wulang nodded: "Rumors are flying all over the sky. But the most common rumor is that Jiyin and Dongjun have already agreed that Xu Dalang is going to mutiny here, and Wu Changzai of the Wu Brothers is also drawn over. The third brother is going to be dealt with here."

"That's actually someone else's rumor, so it's none of my business." Zhang Xing waved his hand. "It's just speculation about my behavior, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's very reliable, but I dare not take it seriously." Wang Wulang was more careful.

"Then let me tell you, it's still possible to sort out personnel affairs, even hug grass and beat rabbits, just in case someone can be fooled."

"However, if you think that I am acting without scruples based on this, and that accidents happen purely out of strategy, then you are underestimating me." Zhang Xing said seriously. "Before the rebellion, I actually did a lot of assassinations, raids, and conspiracies. I even favored the strategy of four or two tricks. But after the rebellion, I said more rules and put up some upright signs. It doesn't mean that I won't engage in conspiracy anymore. Tricks, assassinations, but saying that everything must be upright and upright was created by us together, and you should have seen it with your own eyes.”

Wang Wulang thought about it seriously, and it seemed that this was the case, so he also nodded.

"For example, this time, it doesn't matter what you think about, but you shouldn't think wrong about Xu Dalang." Zhang Xing continued to speak slowly with his hands behind his back. "Since I blew the wind in public, saying that he made a mistake, and said that he would be punished, it basically means that I have evidence and confession, and must be punished, instead of trying to make false threats with this statement, do you know what I mean? "

Wang Wulang thought about it again, and answered seriously: "Brother Zhang San means that no matter what, things on your side can always make sense on the face of it?"

"That's what it means." Zhang Xing nodded again and again. "There may be a lot of truths in it, but on the surface it must make sense, at least it will not let honest people and decent people suffer. This kind of thing, if you think it is smart, you want to speculate that it is his own business, and you are at your own risk, but on the surface If you do things upright according to my words, you will never suffer a loss.I said that this time I came to inspect the place, no matter what else, I will definitely do the inspection seriously; I said that if Xu Dalang doesn't deal with it, the great cause of the Dragon Gang will be hard to come by, no matter whether he rebelled in a fit of anger or came up to give in, he must be dealt with he! "

Wang Wulang nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but ask again: "So how does the third brother plan to deal with Xu Dalang?"

"Dongjun is cleaned up here, it should be punished, it should be copied, but it's a mistake, a merit is a merit, and this guy's attitude is so good. Afterwards, he was deposed as the leader and let him go to the river.

Bei replaced Shan Tonghai in order to see the aftereffects. He would not make mistakes for a year or so before regaining his status as the big boss. " Zhang Xing blurted out. "Let Shan Tonghai take charge of the Eastern Commandery, and you are still on the Western Front. "

"I thought I would," Wang Wulang laughed dryly, and was actually relieved.

"It's about politics." Zhang Xing sighed. "It's not just about cherishing his talent, but about Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang and you. After all, they are the people who established the gang. If there is no rebellion or rebellion, there must be a way to go, otherwise the foundation will be shaken. But on the other hand, it is true. Once you make that step, you won’t be able to get around it even at a higher level.”

Wang Wulang relaxed even more: "This is good, this is good." But he doesn't know which one is good.

After a while, Wang Shuyong was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he came back seriously and said, "Actually, brother Zhai Qian is really upset."

"Zhai Qian came faster than you." Zhang Xing blurted out.

"Come fast may not be stable." Wang Shuyong's expression did not change. "Although Zhai Qian himself is a bit of a dawdler, he has been fighting with the third brother more or less, and has nothing missing. After all, he knows the third brother Enwei, but his brothers have always been lazy, and staying here is just to make money. Since the third brother To inspect the place, at least one place in Dongjun must be cleaned up. Here in Dongjun, Xu Dalang accounts for more than half. Niu Da Chanyuan was beaten like that in the first battle. It's hard to care about it. I was also sidelined. After all, you have to obey, but only Brother Zhai Qian and Huang Junhan are here, so I'm afraid it's really hard to deal with."

"Then don't clean it up for now, and clean it up when you have to." Zhang Xing didn't panic at all.

Hearing this, Wang Shuyong knew that the other party was thinking about it, so he stopped thinking about it and just said goodbye: "I am temporarily in Waihuang, but the effect is much greater. According to calculations, I will return to the camp in ten days, and I will also be in the Ping area, which is very convenient. , the third brother can call me whenever he needs something."

Zhang Xing just nodded.

After seeing off Wang Wulang and going out, Zhang Xing turned to the corridor, but sat directly beside Xu Shiying.

The cicadas were singing, and the smoked wind kept coming, but the cold ice qi and the longevity qi were spreading freely in the corridor, and it didn't feel a bit hot. "Wang Wulang still has you in his heart." Zhang Xing commented. "I just shouted to kill you, but I was afraid that I would really kill you
"I know." Xu Shiying answered in response, his tone obviously a little sluggish.

"You know what?!" Zhang Xing was a little annoyed. "The more it is at this time, the more you can see people's hearts. With so many people coming these days, how many people really understand you?"Your father doesn't even care about it!I can see it, you are a generational cold heart, care about interests, if I don't say it face to face today, you will turn around and pretend not to remember Wang Wulang's kindness. "

Xu Shiying opened his mouth, but stopped talking. "What do you want to say?" Zhang Xing asked coldly.

"Brother Zhang." Xu Dalang took a deep breath, let go of the longevity zhenqi that protected his body, and sighed slightly. "You're right on point, this cold heart is just passed down from generation to generation."

Zhang Xing turned his head and glanced at the other party, but didn't say anything.

"But it wasn't my father who passed it on to me, it's the morals of this world." Xu Shiying continued in a low voice. "How old are you? Are you so enlightened?"

"Third brother, don't look at me like this, I also study." "I believe it."

"But when I was a child, I couldn't bear to read those who made sense. I was interested in reading history books, but the more I read it, the more absurd I felt, because the heroes in front of me were all the supreme real dragons and gods. The merits of those people can directly make people My own Jackie Chan became a sage, but after the Baidi Lord, the ancestor emperor failed to conquer the east, the dragon and the phoenix fell side by side, the successors fought, the Tang Dynasty went south, and the chaos of the north, south, east, and west for hundreds of years, I feel that the next generation of this world is not as good as the next generation. One day is not as good as one day.””

"How come one generation is not as good as one generation?"

"Look at the people who gain power, and whoever wins in the end will tell you that those who gained power in the past are heroes, and those who gain power in the future will be heroes. Its benefits are that heroes and heroes will not end well, but those who are treacherous, cruel and ruthless can live happily ever after.

These seven or eight hundred years of history books, I can see that the gaps in the words are full of indifference! "

"I thought it was full of cannibalism between the words." "It's almost the same."

"So, you're barely getting through the book."

"It was because I read it that I thought it was meaningless to be a hero, and then gradually grew up, and people around me told me that you, Xu Dazi, are a powerful son of the Eastern Realm. In the world of Great Wei, you will never be a general in your life If it’s in the picture, then I feel even more boring, it’s better to be a thief and feel more comfortable.”

At this point, Zhang Xing unexpectedly stopped the redundant conversation.

"Third brother, today's incident is very similar." But Xu Shiying continued, as if he had been calm on the surface for the past few days, but he was still dizzy from the beating on the inside, so that he felt suffocated in his heart. "I accept your methods, I also accept your thirty battalions of soldiers and horses, I also accept your true energy array and startling dragon sword, including this Dragon Gang who calmly controlled the north and south of the river. But although I respect your principles, I don't take them seriously.

"Because people's hearts have been going down for nearly a thousand years, and people's hearts have collapsed for hundreds of years. How can you stop it? Datang seems to be stopping it, but the second half of it deteriorates faster. Da Zhou It seemed to be blocked at one point, but it fell apart immediately? Dawei also seemed to be blocked at the beginning, but now who doesn't know, there is no court worse than Dawei!

"So how do you make me believe in your stuff? Still have a policy agenda? Are you still aboveboard?"

Zhang Xing still didn't say a word, as if he was persuaded by the other party.

Xu Shiying took a breath, and finally calmed down: "Let me put it this way, if the third brother really wants to abandon the Chulong Gang, claim the kingship, kill Li Shuzai and Zhai Qian, and put on a heroic appearance, I will It is inevitable that you must follow the horse to the death, and you will be defeated for a while. I will follow you to the north to cast a spell on the demon guards. At worst, you will make a comeback, because if you are not upright, you are a real hero who seems to be able to get things done. I am willing to accompany you Bet. But if you are still like this, I can only be cold by nature. When you are strong, I will back up. When you are weak, don’t blame me for ignoring you.”

After finishing speaking, Xu Dalang seemed to feel that he was young and lost his temper, and he became annoyed after talking too much this time, but he also seemed to feel that it would be a bit of a mess to talk about it, so he simply turned around , just sat on the porch with his back against a porch column, and then looked sideways at the sky in the courtyard, letting the cicadas sing up and down in his ears.

Zhang Xing was silent for a long time without opening his mouth.

But in the end, I still let out a sigh: "Xu Shiying, I could have recited a few books for you today, but I guess you can't understand it, and it will be annoying if you understand it, so I won't tell you the thorough truth today. Tell me a few facts, believe it or not, remember it for me!"

It was Xu Shiying's turn to remain silent.

"First, the Supreme True Dragon's affairs at that time were not as good as you thought. So what they can do, we can do too, but it does not mean that this matter is easy, because it is precisely this point of insisting on the right thing and the important thing that is the hardest.”

Zhang Xing spoke in a calm tone, as if he was preparing words and speaking on the spot.

"Secondly, the past few hundred years have been really bad, as bad as they are, but the good things have not been broken. The system, culture, and people's hearts may be weak, but they have never been broken, and they are obviously gaining momentum. "

"I believe that the system and culture have never been broken, and I don't believe that the people's hearts have never been broken." Xu Dalang refuted on the spot.

"If people's hearts are broken, how do you know what a hero is? What is ruthlessness? How could you shout out on the day of the rebellion, you want to be a life-saving thief? And why are there people all over the street chasing you and asking what? When will there be an incident? Including today, why do you tremble when you hear it is upright?!" Zhang Xing blurted out.

"Thirdly, the human heart is mighty, and there are things, but this thing is not necessarily good, nor is it necessarily bad. He is destined to coexist with fire and water, so the development of things depends on people's choices and efforts. choose a direction

Go down, then build an organization, spread out, he will definitely have results. If you choose water, it will trickle and not be blocked, and it will be a river; It will be so hot! "

Xu Shiying opened her mouth to speak.

And Zhang Xing immediately corrected: "Or the other way around is more appropriate, a trickle of water can become a river, a spark of fire can start a prairie fire. But such a good word is not suitable for you Xu Shiying, you just have to block yourself You dare not let the trickling water in your heart extinguish these sparks in your heart, and you dare not let it burn into a prairie fire. In a word, you are a coward! So is Qin Er! So is Li Si! So am I more or less!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Xing finished speaking to the other party word by word, and walked away directly.

In the last two paragraphs, Xu Shiying didn't say a word, or shut his mouth tightly. It's hard to say what effect Zhang Xing's preaching had on him, but there is no doubt that he has realized that , This is probably the first time Zhang Dalong has made a strong gaffe when facing Xu Dalong.

It might also be the only time.

After the opponent established his foothold in Hebei, when he came back and saw that he was still the same, he was extremely angry.I don't know if there is any shame or feeling, but Xu Dalang is really scared.

He will remember every word of today. "How's it going?"

Walking out of the backyard and coming to the front office of the county government, Zhang Xing had already put on a calm face, as if he and Xu Dalang were just exchanging experiences on growing flowers with the true qi of longevity.

"Xu Dalang hid three thousand soldiers." Xie Minghe put his hands together and answered seriously.

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then went to look at Chen Bin who came to greet him, and the latter nodded.

For a moment, Zhang Xing, who had just suppressed his anger, felt his head popping up again, wishing he could turn around and kill Xu Shiying immediately!

Of course, he didn't kill people, he didn't even have an attack, instead he showed a sudden gesture, no wonder Xu Shiying, who has always been so smart like that, still couldn't control his emotions when he came to Lin, and came out with him again.

And suddenly, Zhang Sanye himself admired his current city mansion even more than Xu Shiying.

"Still asking, Dou Lide and Wang Xiongdan are accompanying Xu Wei, Cui Erlang and Yan Touling are continuing to check according to their father and son's words. I can only say that these people are scattered in six counties, and they are hiding in Zhuangzi. Or stuffed into the caravan, it is also publicly spread in the name of the border patrol or the city's defenders. "Chen Bin was a little flustered as he spoke." Gathering these three thousand soldiers in a short time is enough to launch a rush. "

"No matter what, just be willing to hand it over honestly." Xie Minghe also breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"That's right. They were broken up and sent to Hebei? Or a separate battalion?" Chen Bin continued to ask. ’ We promised to take it. "

"Of course to Hebei." Zhang Xing came back to his senses and took a long breath. "But we can't blindly expand the army. The burden on the common people is too heavy. We have to remove these battalions from Xu Shiying's mountain and take responsibility for our own affairs."

"Yes." Chen Bin agreed very neatly, but in fact, both sides, including Xie Minghe next to him, knew that this matter is not that simple. It is easy to expand the army and difficult to reduce the amount. It's ridiculous, especially for the private soldiers, but fortunately Xu Shiying already has troops in Henan, and Shan Tonghai will be transferred here. It seems that he can start from here and let the wool come out of the sheep.

But no matter what, the matter was so complicated that the three of them fell silent.After a short pause, Xie Minghe came again and asked, "Wang Wulang just came?"

"Yes."

"Are you here to beg for mercy?" Xie Minghe couldn't help but sneer.

"Naturally." Zhang Xing said frankly. "And it seems that the means are so clever that they have received a few powerful documents recently."

"That's not true." Xie Minghe smiled half a smile. "What's the difference between these people and feudal lords and feudal lords? Wang Wulang is in several counties in Jiyin, even if he is

Not as powerful as Xu Shiying, and there must be a private soldier of 800 to [-] people. What about Brother Zhai Qian?What about Shantonghai?It was Niu Da, that is to say, almost the whole army was wiped out this time, there is nothing to say, otherwise it would be unclean. "

"I'm actually still worried." Chen Bin glared at Xie Minghe, and then couldn't help but sigh. "Leader, I still mean the same thing. It is recommended to be slow and lenient, including Xu Shiying who wants to show off. He didn't say that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but that the progress should be considered. You said it yourself, you have to wait for the strength of Hebei to exceed the After reaching the Eastern Realm, we can do a thorough cleanup. Now Xu Dalang is smart and Wang Wulang is safe, but if he meets someone who is confused and causes trouble, it may not be as simple as a rebellion, especially when Jiyin is still watching. It's on."

"But if you open the door to these big bosses and kill that Jiyin, isn't it a bit unmagnanimous?" Xie Minghe seemed to have a different opinion. "At least the top and bottom must be consistent."

"You are all right." Zhang Xing stopped the dispute between the two. "Chen Neiwu is right. In fact, it is not just Jiyin. The key is that there are all kinds of forces from the Great Wei outside. The matter of Xuzhou and Langya is right in front of us. On the other hand, the reason why the Dragon Gang is able to have today is because of it." On the outside, the Great Wei Dynasty fell by itself, but on the inside, the Dragon Clan has always been able to maintain a united appearance, and this example really cannot be opened.”

At this point, Zhang Xing obviously paused, and continued: "Including Li Shu, I have thought about it again and again, and I must maintain a decent face. This is not a matter of face, but a matter of life and death for the Dragon Gang. Level, nameless and meaningless, once you do things that go too far, there will be endless troubles, so we have to remind the people around us not to make their own decisions."

Chen Bin frowned slightly and didn't say anything. Xie Minghe next to him was very relieved when he heard it, but he felt a little uneasy when he heard it behind him: "What does it mean to be decent? What if Li Shu never makes mistakes? Do you really want to continue to give him real power?" ?”

"Naturally." Zhang Xing answered frankly. "Including the separation of powers in the Legislature, Brother Xie can go for me now, communicate with him face to face, and tell him that I can give him the military and political commander in charge of the three counties in the east and west and in charge of Kinki, and ask him if he accepts it." accept?"

Both Chen and Xie were stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy.

"You can also give Du Pozhen another leader, lead the military and political commander of the six counties in Huaixi, and attack Xuzhou and Huaidong at the same time." Zhang Xing continued to speak without batting an eyelid. "Give Duke Wei another leader, lead the military and political commander of the three counties in the east, and also be the deputy commander of Wuyang, Chai Xiaohe, including you can ask Fu Boshi if you want to go back and be the deputy commander, but don't think about his battalion Take it away, let Huaixi send someone to replace it."

Hearing this, Chen Xie's spirits were visibly refreshed, and they were no longer too entangled in the matter of Li Shu continuing to be in power.

Even, Chen Bin just turned around a little bit, and then put forward a supplementary plan of his own: "If this is the case, I think it is roughly feasible, but according to me, except for the leader who will become the chief or the gang leader, these few people, simply all If you turn into a big leader to lead the military and political commander, you will no longer set up a leader. The position is a job, and it is a job assigned by the gang, and the ranks in the gang are chief-big leader-leader-guardian, rudder master-ordinary gang members. It’s simple and direct, and doesn’t get in the way of doing things.”

Xie Minghe shook his head while shaking his beard with a smile, but he didn't know whether to approve or not approve of his old friend's plan.

"This can be carefully considered, and we can talk about it later, but right now, the situation must be stabilized, especially the three thousand private soldiers like Xu Shiying." Zhang Xing couldn't help getting angry again when he said this. "With these three thousand private soldiers, I don't even want to leave a leader to Xu Shiying!"

PS: Happy Chinese New Year, big brother and big sister!
