Chapter 353 River Walk (10)

"Li Longtou, go and meet him!" Huang Junhan, the leader of Jiyincang City, suggested.

"That's right." Zhai Kuan frowned and tried to persuade him. "Up to now, peace is the most important thing for the big guys, so don't cause trouble."

"Li Gong, everyone is against Wei, Jiangdu and Dongdu are still alive!" Meng Yigui also had a sad face. "It's time to focus on the overall situation."

Li Shu's expression was as usual, without saying a word, he just glanced at the three people, and then looked at the rest who didn't speak, including Fang Yanlang, Chang negative, Ding Shengying, Liang Jiading, and Cui, who was recently introduced as his confidant. Shiro couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

The reason why these people are here, some are because they were left idle, so they turned to themselves to find a future; Well, anyway, it can't be burned over there, so it's transferred to him; there are people who have nothing to do with him at all, just because some people are inconvenient to come, they are just sent to make a statement.

It was these people, together with Fang Yanshi and Zu Chenyan who were in Hebei at this time, and a few others who stayed behind, formed his reliance and team at this time.

However, Zu Chenyan has actually been abandoned, and now he is a proclamation writer, so-called returning to general affairs; The supervisor lost his military power; and the few who stayed behind obviously all gradually turned to each other because of the source of power.

At the same time, he also lost the opportunity to obtain new blood, because he lost the initiative to open up, the tyrants in the east, the rebels in Dengzhou, the aristocratic families in Hebei, and the demoted officials all joined the opponent's political system as a matter of course.

This is the result of the failure of political struggle, even the failure of political struggle without the slightest bloody storm.

At this time, everyone had already passed through the doorway and followed the two dragon heads into Dejiyin City.

First of all, he was a little moved by the other party's reminiscence about the past... Humans are not grass, how can we not feel it?But soon, with the sudden showdown, there was unmistakable shock and anger.

Zhang Xing nodded, but took the opponent's hand again, trying to get his arm inside.

What Cui Silang said was right, even if it was to stabilize the faction, he had to be patient for a while and accept Zhang Xing's proposal, because if he didn't come up with something practical, the team would not be able to maintain it.

"Moreover, this matter is just an introduction. The key is, whether it's good or bad, there are too many similar things." Zhang Xing said as he walked. "Remember, Mr. Li, I injured my head during the second expedition, and basically forgot everything. When I escaped, there was an earthquake again, and my legs were numb from excessive use of zhenqi. It rained again, and in the end there was only one red Paoze on the other side of the mountain was willing to take me and carry me out... At that time, that Paoze was a mountain and a river to me, so I thought, no matter what the world is like, I must follow This brother shared wealth and adversity, and in the next life, he might have to follow his life to find a way... In the end, when he encountered the first village, the other two deserters wanted to stay and become kings of the mountain. That brother and I are not allowed to be domineering in the village, in a firefight, three of the four died, and when I came out of the mountain with his body on my back, I was all dead, you and Xu Dalang have seen it with your own eyes."

But I don't know how to play it.

Some people behind who were tense at first relaxed at this moment, losing some courage to confront and express.

Li Shu was stunned for a moment, but somehow he knew that the words had come to this point, basically it was the most critical time, so he wanted to grit his teeth and respond:
"It's natural."

This plunged him into some kind of intense panic.

Especially the few who stayed behind, it deeply explained the importance and indispensability of his group's qualifications when building the gang - with the team of the Dragon Gang at the time, to lay down the territory, not to hand over the civil affairs to these people, Who can I give it to?
And these people will always bear his brand of Li Shu.

Li Shu originally thought that the drama should end here, but if the other party wanted to continue, he naturally had nothing to say... Even, for a moment, Li Dalong thought that the other party was worried about being assassinated, so he specifically held him.

In fact, these people in front of them are already pressing.

"Then Li Gong understands what I mean?" Zhang Xing suddenly stopped on the central avenue of Jiyin City holding his opponent's hand, and then stood facing the opponent who was a little caught off guard.

"Then what's wrong with him?" Li Shu couldn't help but become slightly serious.

"The one in front of me still understands...how can I say more than that?" Li Shu turned his head slightly to avoid it, and narrowed his eyes, probably because the gradually setting sun in the west was completely unobstructed.

As he said that, Zhang Dalong finally took his opponent's hand and walked slowly into the city gate.

The scene was still very warm and full of revolutionary passion.

And Zhang Dalongtou also saw Li Dalongtou again after the last farewell by the river, and the latter also led the city's leaders, rudder masters, guardians, deacons, and more than a hundred guards together with Jiyinliuhou Fang Yanlang welcome.

"After that, it's about deposing the Dragon Gang." Li Shu rarely laughed. "It's the other way around. It's like dripping water converging into a river, or like rammed earth forming a high platform. Every day, we meet new people and encounter new things. Every day makes people feel that our Dragon Clan is thriving... ..."

Li Shu almost staggered along with him.

Hearing this, many people behind, including Xie Minghe, Chen Bin, Cui Suchen, Fang Yanlang and others who knew similar stories without thinking about it, but it wasn't just them, many people's hearts trembled more or less.

"However, don't talk about how the three signs came, but I slowly discovered that the world looks safe, but in fact it has been hollowed out long ago, falling apart, right in front of my eyes, so the three signs came... this At that time, the scariest thing was not that the brothers were separated from each other in the past, but that many people, whom I thought would continue to talk to me, hang out with me, and continue to hate each other, suddenly disappeared!"

"Naturally I remember such a thing, that eunuch committed suicide in the tent...But, but I forgot what his name is...Song Chang or Song Yi?" Li Shu reacted and immediately gave a reply. "What's the matter, why did Zhang Sanlang suddenly think of this person?"

At this point, shame and depression naturally follow.

With this in mind, Li Shu stopped his gaze on Fang Yanlang, who was the most trustworthy and possibly the only trustworthy person present.

That's right, after more than ten days of information dissemination and deliberation, these leaders gathered together not at all to ask Li Shu to make some changes to benefit Yin, on the contrary, they did it because they were afraid that he would make some changes. Urge, so as not to involve many people.

When everyone reacted, they hurriedly followed with a bang, attracting many people along the street to look at it.

But Zhang Xing continued: "Li Gong, what I mean is that between you and me, I should try my best to be considerate, and if I can pull it off, I will never let you and me suddenly lose the result... …Especially now that I have all the advantages, I should take on the responsibility of finding someone.”

Li Shu remained silent, just listening carefully like many people behind him.

"Not bad." Zhang Xing nodded. "However, what I want to talk about today is not about those, but about the prefect of Jiyin who was stubbornly resisting at that time... Do you still remember Mr. Li?"

"..."

It is conceivable that Zhang Longtou's words should also focus on this.

He didn't expect that the last one would be on an equal footing with the other party, and even the equal status of exchanging benefits in private would be taken away in public.

Even many leaders behind him were a little bit embarrassed... Anyway, even though Zhang Xingbian scolded him face to face, according to the tradition, the image of Song Chang's loyal minister and filial son is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now, his son also treats him like this An image appeared in the field of vision, which inevitably made people feel emotional.

Many people were originally worried that Li Longtou was relying on Jiyin City to deal with Zhang Longtou, but now it was reversed, and they were worried that Zhang Longtou would attack suddenly and deal with Li Longtou in this place.

"And then?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask.

"Mr. Li!"

However, this also made the conversation between the two leaders in front even more undisguised.

"That's true." Li Shu was inexplicably upset, because he couldn't keep track of the other party's pulse.

"What is Zhang Sanlang looking at?" Li Shu asked seriously.

It can only be said that after half a year, the big hands representing the left and right wings of the Dragon Gang, and the two most important political factions at the top since the establishment of the Dragon Gang, once again tightly held together.

Li Shu also didn't know what to say.

"It's better to say, how can I forget?" Li Shu came back to his senses and laughed on the spot. "At that time, the siege of the city was in dire straits, and everyone didn't know what to do. You suddenly came along the Jishui River and brought thousands of reinforcements. The morale in the city collapsed immediately, and then we reorganized the army here. The first serious unit of the Dragon Gang."

"Mr. Li, do you remember the first time we came to Jiyin City?" Zhang Xing just held his hand and turned his head to ask seriously.

But soon, the leader realized soberly that he had no room to resist. If he really resisted, his so-called faction might be torn apart in an instant, and he would also fall into an unbearable situation.

Thinking about it now, if we could have been more honest at that time, starting from Xiong Bonan, we could have spoken clearly, learned to be more honest, if we dare not avoid the disaster today, at least the situation would have been much better?

Now that the two sides shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Xing first chatted with several local leaders, including Zhang Daxuan who was hiding in the crowd and said nothing, and then pointed to Chen Bin, Dou Lide, and Cui Suchen who came to join Jiyin. While making an introduction, it was really lively for a while.And after the introduction, it was not good for everyone to continue basking in the sun at the gate, so Li Shu made a gesture, pointing at the gate to invite Zhang Xing to rest inside.

But thinking of the initial guarantee, Fu felt a sense of rejoicing inexplicably, even mixed with a trace of gratitude.

At the same time, it was difficult for Li Shu to express his feelings clearly.

At the same time, Xu Dalang, who was about ten steps behind with the others in tacit understanding, also had a complicated expression, because he remembered a conversation similar to the beginning, except that it was between him and his brother-in-law Xiong Bonan.

Just as they were thinking, the two of them had just walked across the suspension bridge when Zhang Dalong suddenly stopped and looked towards the gate tower.

"I'm getting older, but I can't compare to you who are so young and have a good memory."

"It's just as Fang Liu said." Nodding to the other party, Li Shu looked around and smiled slightly. "Zhang Longtou has worked hard to patrol, and we should greet and express our condolences."

"When I say this today, I don't mean to feel sorry for the loyal ministers and filial sons of the Great Wei Dynasty. What is there to care about?" Zhang Xing looked at the stone inscription of the word "Ji Yin" on the gate tower above, his expression obviously gloomy. "What I care about is that I saw Song Chang's death so simply, and Song Yi's sincerity, I really thought that I would meet them on the battlefield. When the time comes, I will kill both his father and his son. Wouldn't it be fun? ? It’s like killing Zhang Han and Gao Jiang. But in troubled times, even such a deep hatred is not something you can send if you want to die..."

But at this point, Zhang Xing also grabbed his hands and turned to look at Li Shu, speaking sincerely: "Li Gong, can you understand what I mean? You gritted your teeth and rescued the fugitive remnant who was raised by your younger sister, and there was no news at once; You thought it was the biggest obstacle in your career, but half of your boss who has been taking care of you all the time, suddenly you don't know where to go...

Of course, Zhang Xing quickly dispelled the misunderstandings of these people:
"The reason for this is that by now, my meritorious status is unshakable, and it's because I can't take on the big responsibility to dethrone the Dragon Gang. It's time for my name to be justified! If it continues to be delayed, it will not only deceive the world and steal its name, but also delay the important tasks of the gang. But Don't worry about any superfluous things. Since I have said these words, I will definitely give you a corresponding explanation, because your meritorious status in the gang is second only to me, and you can't be shaken! But that's my rightful passing by the leader of the gang. After becoming the chief, you will be supported by the resolutions of the big bosses, and you will be the sole authority and your appointment. In addition, the decision-making system of the Dragon Gang will not change!"

In this way, after the summer rain, the south wind blew up slightly, and the water vapor evaporated very quickly. The mud may be fine, but the blue brick road of Jiyin City under the scorching sun soon dried up. Zhang Xing led more than a hundred riders to the east city of Jiyin from the official road. At that time, the green brick floor in front of the moat, which was paved for the convenience of freight trucks, was only left with traces of erosion.

"And then?" Zhang Xing asked next to him.

"Dragon head." Fang Yanlang answered with a straight face. "I know your general thoughts, and I have the same thoughts as you, but I want to remind you that today we are going to discuss the facts. People started from Dongjun and walked from one village to another. In ten days, they walked seventy to eighty townships. , We have arrived at Jiyin City steadily, we can't find anything to say, and we shouldn't have any more to say."

Li Shu is one of them.

"At that time, to be honest, although I said a few big words, I didn't care about them at all, whether it was Li Gong and you or the Jing'antai team from my wife." Zhang Xing continued to hold each other's hand and walk slowly. Slowly said. "Because all my thoughts at that time were on the corpse of my robe... The thought was very clear. There is nothing else in this world. When a person dies, he must do what he explained before he died and send him home. Bury it, put it in the ground, and then talk about it."

The entourage behind him was more than just some leaders who had heard the news a long time ago. Many local officials in Jiyin City who came out to greet them, as well as the staff officers, clerks, county officials, and county officials who had gathered temporarily were all here. Although the leader has long been aware of some of the limelight, he can't help being shocked when he hears the word "deposed".

The entourage behind the two looked at each other, knowing that they were far behind, and only gave up the stage to the two themselves.

"That is to say, even if you don't talk about the entire Dragon Clan, don't talk about eliminating the Violent Wei, don't talk about stabilizing the world, don't talk about ambitions, just talk about you and me, and only talk about Zhang and Li. , As for this place... Mr. Li, have you ever thought about how rare this is?" Zhang Xing also turned his face to the side, squinting his eyes slightly and asked.

"I'm looking at Jiyin City." Zhang Xing answered seriously.

The people behind were also obviously caught off guard. In a hurry, many people directly bumped into the people in front, and the horses also neighed.

"Who hasn't experienced it?" Even though Li Shu had prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but gradually let go of his guard. "I have been with Yang Shen for half my life. I thought that if I wanted to be his mastermind in this life, I would achieve great things, and the ruler and ministers would win each other. What happened? I lost everything in ten days! Not only did he die, but all of me Old people, wives and children, family members, all the things that Dongdu has managed for a long time are all gone! I don’t want to hide it from Saburo. When we met on the embankment that day, it’s not just because you don’t care about us? I don’t care about you, it’s just that Just hold on to face and try to survive."

"There is nothing natural in everything, only precautions in advance." Zhang Xing grabbed the other party, and in the summer, he was suddenly serious to the point of ice-cold. "I've made up my mind, Mr. Li. Now that things have come to an end, don't engage in such private exchanges, and don't talk about the southeast and northwest... Next month, I will call the leaders of the gang, and directly follow the gang leader at the beginning. According to the regulations, depose your position as the leader, and also depose Wei Gong as the chief, and then recommend yourself as the only chief of the gang, and you must pursue personnel rights and veto power!"

"Everyone in Wenroufang who once helped you out, the official slave who served you tea for a year, the pregnant concubine you rescued with great effort, and the one who fought with you and almost made you ashamed Zhonglang generals, arty bribe targets, Jianghu heroes who you think are particularly interesting and may have certain achievements in the future, even, just the neighborhood you often pass by every day, suddenly disappears, dies, and is completely broken...

"It is said that in this door last year today, the face of the peach blossoms reflected each other's red. I don't know where the face has gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze... Li Gong, Li Gong, do you know what I mean? Have you experienced such a thing?"

Thanks to the previous torrential rain, the original stalls on the street have already been cleaned up. Hundreds of people came, but they did not encounter any inconvenience or miss others.

At first glance, it's really pompous.

"It's not that I have a good memory." Zhang Xing agreed with emotion. "Actually, I forgot too. It's just that when I visited the village a few days ago, I met many Huaixi refugees and sorted out a lot of information from there. It happened to be about Song Yi... Mr. Li, remember, he and Dingtao He ordered Liu Ben to swear a blood oath on the spot, and when we send grandma back, he will join the army again and kill us to avenge our father."

"How is it possible to forget?" Li Shu replied quietly, no matter what the other party was, whether he was keeping some talk or simply telling the past, he had already adjusted his mentality.

"Dead." Zhang Xing sighed, even with a hint of sadness. "According to the refugees who escaped, Liu Ben didn't know that Song Yi did join the army later, but since he joined the army, how could he go wherever he wanted? He first followed the Huai'an county soldiers to deal with Wu Dalang's Nanyang rebel army. After he came down, he also became a deputy captain of a county. As a result, Jiangdu demanded too much from the two Huaihe Rivers. When the Huaiyou League got involved, Huai'an also fell into it... First he fled to Tongbai Mountain, and then the Huaiyou League couldn't hold back. At that time, he went down the mountain and led people to counterattack two county towns, and was promoted to the county captain. As a result, Du Pozhen was in a hurry, so he sent his best adopted son Kan Ling to lead the [-] Taibao troops to go there in person. Then he caught him and beheaded him for public display."

But Li Shu quickly understood, then laughed, and calmly asked: "Zhang Sanlang wants to say that because of this, we should cherish this situation, right?"

"Zhang Sanlang is still in good spirits." Li Shu also cupped his hands far away, also smiling unabated. "Hebei has done a great job!"

"However, when I walked to his house, I found out that there was a mountain torrent at night, and his house had been buried by a landslide for several months." Zhang Xing's tone became obviously indifferent. "At that time, because of this, I really felt that the sky was falling, because although the world was big, I didn't know where I came from, where I was going, and I didn't know what I could do. At this time, my wife I discovered the situation in advance, and then took Qin Er and others there, and slipped me back to this world.

"Not bad, not bad." Zhang Xing said honestly while holding the other party's hands. "I've lost too many things in my life. I really don't want to dethrone the Dragon Gang and repeat the same mistakes, and end up in nothing, and I won't allow him to disappear, because this time I even gambled on my own aspirations and ambitions. To put it bluntly, I'm gone, and I want the Dethrone Dragon Gang to continue...but it's more than that!"

Of course, things always have two sides. From another point of view, until now, Li Dalongtou has been able to maintain a seat of about fifteen or six leaders, as well as the leader of the army to lead foreign aid, as well as Du Pozhen, Wu The airs of a political group echoed by higher-level quasi-allies like the Brothers and Brothers are indeed centipedes who are dead but not stiff, the so-called No. [-] figure of the Dragon Gang that no one can shake.

"The next thing is Dongdu. Dongdu only stayed for two years, but he did a lot of things. He killed people, saved people, handled cases, made enemies, and even rented a small house. I also met the Xianggong, and the governor of the North Yamen. Anyway, I was living a bit of a human being. At that time, I thought, in my life, good or bad, I might just hang out with these people... I just thought about it in private One day I fulfilled my wish to enter Nanya, and I also thought about supporting Li Ding and Qin Bao to become a general.

Zhang Xing grabbed the opponent's hand and looked back at the entourage behind him: "Today's words, you can pass it on to the whole world to listen to! Brother Xie, you are in charge of this matter, and make arrangements quickly so as not to delay things, or to outsiders An opportunity to take advantage of."

Li Shu naturally followed the trend and looked over, and hundreds of people behind him also looked up together, but they didn't know what they were looking at, they couldn't be looking at Jiyin City, could they?

Xie Minghe wanted to respond.

"It's called Song Chang, and his son's name is Song Yi."

In this matter, Zhang Xing directly let go of one hand, and only continued to hold the other hand, but almost dragged the other party forward: "Li Gong! Li Gong! It is easy to meet and difficult to meet, let's do it and cherish it!"

It was far away, so Zhang Xing was smiling all over Huang Puma's horse, beckoning and beckoning. "Be safe!"

Up and down this is relieved.

And the two did not disappoint everyone. When they reached the suspension bridge, Zhang Xing got off his horse and Li Shu stepped forward to meet them. The two reached out their hands almost at the same time, and held each other's hands outside the suspension bridge in front of the city gate.

The people behind him were equally moved. One of them, an elderly guardian surnamed Zhang, was rubbed by a horse beside him because he just lowered his head.

"Then...then the most difficult time was actually on the way back before the three campaigns. Everyone was avoiding corvee and conscripts. No one knew you, and no one cared about you. One person knows you well... If I hadn't found Fang Xu and the other two one by one later, settled down a little bit, and prepared to fight against Wei, I'm afraid I'd have quit altogether, or gone crazy." Li Shu said bitterly. "You have to find something for yourself!"

After all, even though the most sensitive Wu brothers had self-knowledge and chose to fight on the front line in Huaixi ahead of time, who wouldn't allow them to take precautions?

But if this is the case, what are the previous words, statements and implicit guarantees?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Qing was inexplicably excited among the crowd at the back. When he was leading the horse forward, he couldn't help turning around and talking to the horse on the side: "Chiping Jiusheng, what you said is very true, third brother Shicheng , entanglements within the gang, up and down, left and right, it doesn’t matter if you don’t draw the sword, once you draw the sword, it will be solved easily!”

Ma Wei was not yet complacent, Chen Bin in front couldn't help laughing first, causing Zhang Daxuan, who had been bowing his head, to look up at these people, and secretly curled his lips.

It seems to be saying-doesn't it need to be said?
