After Luo Shu killed He Lanshi, the next step was to use this power to intimidate and lure him in the political arena.

A group of 21 people returned with He Lanshi's head, and Bai Xiangui and Zhang Gongshen escorted Luo Xin to the south alone. They drove thousands of riders from Luoshu's headquarters, together with many servants, dead soldiers, and strong men brought from Gu'an, to join forces. Five thousand horse infantry gathered in the east of Youzhou, and then came to Youzhou City with great fanfare.

Along the way, the fortresses, military camps, and places where the rich clans of Youzhou gathered were all alarmed, and Luo Shu didn't lose the opportunity to send his confidants with He Lanshi's head to make an announcement, asking these people to join the team.

Along the way, all the officers, soldiers and noble families were frightened and followed them one after another in fear. By the time they reached the city of Youzhou, tens of thousands of people had gathered.

What happened next was unexpected and reasonable. When the troops arrived at the east gate of Youzhou City, the news of He Lanshi's death must have spread. Come out of the city to meet... In fact, when Luo Shu came to the city, several Zhonglang generals, Youzhou camp, local officials, and local nobles came out of the city to meet him. , and then obeyed the order from who knows where to evacuate the city, and handed over the city defense to the soldiers and horses brought by Luo Shu.

After entering the city, Luo Shu first announced to everyone that he wanted to go home yesterday and stayed in a manor in the southeast of the city at night, but he received an invitation from He Lanshi to meet him at the checkpoint at the foot of Luoshan Mountain. Discussing the affairs of the governor of Youzhou face to face, but arrived there to rest in the middle of the night, but this morning, he encountered a surprise attack by He Lanshi, and had no choice but to fight back. Instead, he killed the opponent with the help of the terrain and the desperate assistance of many brothers.

Of course, the matter is only related to He Lanshi, and since He Lanshi is dead, at most the two cities of Anle County will be taken back, and no one else will be involved.Moreover, he made it clear that he planned to use He Lanshi's in-law General Zhao Bazhu as the prefect of Anle County to be in charge of this matter and not to get involved.

Although the military officials in Youzhou Wenwen knew that something was wrong, how could they doubt it at this time, and they all praised General Luo for his tolerance.

Immediately, someone volunteered to send an interrogation, and sure enough, he found Zhonglang General Zhao Bazhu in Wei Wenda's residence. The latter hesitated for a moment, and finally came to see Luo Shu together with Wei Wenda.

Arriving at Dongchengmen Inner Street, General Wei Zhaoer saw that all the other important people in the upper and lower cities had gathered and stood in front of and behind Luo Shu. He Lanshi's head was hanging high above the Dongcheng gate. Surprised, he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward to bow and salute.

However, just as he bowed down, before he could say anything, Bai Xiangui, Luo Shu's number one confidant, suddenly turned around, also bowed to his general, and then raised his voice in the middle of the road before the two of them:

"My lord! The life and death of Director Li is unknown, and the northern region is chaotic, and Hebei has become a state of chaos, but Youzhou can no longer be without a master. Today, everyone in Youzhou is in agreement. Please don't refuse again, my lord. I am here to serve as the governor of Youzhou. Safeguard the environment and the people!"

As he said that, Fu simply dropped to the ground on one knee in the street, and bowed his head.

The two generals of Wei and Zhao were stunned for a while, but unexpectedly, starting from the headquarters of Luo Shu, all the generals and officers bowed down one after another, and then the generals who were already attached to Luo Shu also followed suit, except for Zhang Gongshen who stood behind Luo Shu. People, who had already learned to speak, held their knives and spears there, and looked around together... Seeing this situation, a few people who did not worship hurriedly bowed down, and General Wei and Zhao Er looked at each other, and finally did not dare to bow down. Going against the overall situation, he only landed on one knee under Luo Shu's staring gaze.

Luo Shu laughed out loud on the spot, and immediately stepped forward to help Wei Wenda: "General Wei is not only my close brother, but also my son-in-law, how dare I let you come to pay respects?"

When Wei Wenda heard this, he let out suddenly and felt relieved on the spot.

And Bai Xiangui and others got up immediately, cheering and clamoring, and then followed Luo Shu to control the headquarters of the city defense, also cheering and calling the chief.

Therefore, everyone knew that in Youzhou's battle, it was General Luo Shu... General Manager Luo won.

Luo Shu pretended to be the governor of Youzhou, but he was not in a hurry to do other things. Instead, he opened the treasury first, took out the silk, satin, gold, silver and cloth, rewarded the officers and soldiers of each department according to their rank, and then sent them to the army. With generous gifts, envoys were sent to the garrisons and county guards of the actual affiliated counties of Youzhou to tell what happened, and at the same time asked the leaders of all counties and ministries to come to Youzhou to report.

At the same time, with Zhao Bazhu as the main general, his son Luo Xin as the deputy general, and his confidants Bai Xiangui and Zhang Gongshen as the pressure, he led as many as ten thousand people, including Hou Junshu, to accept Anle County.

When the army arrived in Anle, the Helan family had already been divided into two parts. He Lanshi's younger brother, He Lancong, the only remaining alchemy master in the family, directly led hundreds of family elites and nephews and nieces to the North, while the rest of the tribe opened the city, Surrender to Zhao Bazhu in public.

Besides, Luo Shu was originally one of the two main competitors in Youzhou, but now that He Lanshi died, He Lancong escaped, Zhao Bazhu easily took over Anle, and Wei Wenda married his daughter Xu to Luo Xin, the surrounding counties of other peripheral states naturally They will not continue to wait and see, but come to Youzhou City to have an audience.

It was only a few days, before the weather turned cold in the first ten days of November, Youzhou had already changed hands.

At this time, Zhang Gongshen, who had already been appointed as the captain of the garrison in Gunan City, asked Luo Shu through Bai Xiangui a question, a request. The question was, should he move his wife to Gunan City?If not, where should it be placed?The request is to let him go south to Jiangling again, to complete the mission of the previous messenger.

In this regard, Luo Shu, who was busy in his busy schedule, replied very simply and generously. He personally summoned Zhang Gongshen and told him face to face that they were all brothers from his own family. Feel free, but Zhang Lingzheng needs Zhang Gongshen to take a serious walk.

Zhang Gongshen felt a little relieved, and asked again what he said after arriving at the general's mausoleum.

Luo Shu responded face-to-face: "The friendship remains the same, exchange information with each other, each take its own place, and avoid misjudgments and wars."

Only then did Zhang Gongshen feel at ease, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He led a few riders and set off south that day. When he passed Hejian, he found that the Hejian Army had disbanded and Xue Changxiong had returned to Hejian. Obviously, the Dragon Gang and the Hejian Army He knew what happened in Youzhou very well, and reacted very quickly, immediately stopping the military confrontation that had caused great pressure on both sides.

Moreover, if there is no mistake in guessing, there should also be envoys from Youzhou arriving in Hejian to appease and explain, which made Zhang Gongshen more relaxed.

After crossing the Qingzhang River, the army of the Dragon Clan who had gathered here also returned to the camps, which made Zhang Gongshen more relaxed.

However, in mid-November, as Zhang Gongshen arrived at Jiangling City with his cavalry, he felt a little lost again. This was not because he heard a lot of true and false news about the chaos in the south after coming here, but because he said that At this time, he suddenly realized that those children's hundred-day foundation building was almost completed, which made him inexplicably feel that it would be better to stay here and finish this matter that day.

And next, he turned out to be the Zhang Xing he saw in the foundation-building camp.Only then did he realize that Chief Zhang himself took over his job.

At that time, Zhang Xing was sitting cross-legged on top of a rammed-earth sandwich wall in the camp that was gradually becoming permanent. He didn’t know whether he was looking at the children below or the eight big characters written in lime on the opposite wall—that is, “study hard. Up every day".

In short, it was a bit of a ecstasy.

"I already know the situation in Youzhou." Zhang Xing watched the front and listened carefully to Zhang Gongshen's words, thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and spoke. "However, I'm still curious about one thing. General Zhang, has the internal affairs of Youzhou reached such a point that life and death fights have just started? If not, why did He Lanshi die so simply? If so, why did the people around him follow suit? so fast?"

On the rammed earth sandwiched wall like a city wall, there was no one else except Jia Runshi and a few guards who stood scattered a dozen steps apart. Zhang Gongshen hesitated for a moment, and replied: "In fact, there is no one in Youzhou. Otherwise, He Lanshi wouldn't die so easily."

Zhang Xing came to a sudden: "It means that someone acted preemptively and did not hesitate to break the rules. This has his advantages, but also his disadvantages...it depends on the situation."

Zhang Gongshen didn't say anything, and didn't move extra.

"Actually, it's okay. It's fast here in Youzhou, and there is finally a result..." Zhang Xing continued. "It's not like other places, where there are civil strife, and some sit and talk, which makes people confused."

"May I ask Chief Zhang, why is this so?" Zhang Gongshen is an envoy to a locality, so he naturally asked after hearing the words, especially after thinking for a while, he found that the other party's description was not correct with the situation in the Central Plains and Huainan that he had learned along the way.

"It's the latest news. It's from Jiangnan. It's said that Tu Wanchang Lun has escaped, and Xiao Hui has already swallowed Jiujiang. Then tell me, should we go down the river to attack Xuancheng?" Zhang Xing didn't mean to hide it, so he took advantage of the situation to talk about it.

"Should it be so?" Zhang Gongshen thought for a while before speaking cautiously. "Jiujiang is going so smoothly, the morale of the Liang army is strong, and the south has not suffered any disasters. The food supply will never be consumed so quickly, and even though it is November, our side is still not frozen, let alone the south of the Yangtze River?"

"They stopped." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Because Tu Wanchanglun was afraid of being punished by Jiangdu, but only stopped in Xuancheng. The two masters got together, and Liang Jun didn't dare to go there for a while. Instead, after Jiujiang took over, Jiangxi and Hunan Unicom became smooth, which caused an accident. ... Jiangxi people fought with Hunan people. The heroes of Hunan claimed to be Xiao Huiyuan, but they lived under Jiangxi people. It seemed that there was some talk about unfair rewards and punishments after the war. Anyway, they just led their troops away, and Jiangxi people clamored It is said that the Hunan people rebelled, and even sent troops to chase them directly, but they were counterattacked by the Hunan people, and thousands of people died... Now you can say anything, some people say that it was Xiao Hui who drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, but some people said it was true The Fire Cult came out of it privately, trying to abolish Xiao Hui's foundation and take advantage of the situation to replace him. However, more people still said that it was just the gang confrontation between the Hunan and Jiangxi tyrants, and there was no other conspiracy. Anyway, I don't know if it will be a What is the result?"

When Zhang Gongshen heard this, he felt both absurd and natural, and he just sighed for a while: "This is the way of the world, the world is about to collapse, people's morals are going down, and they can't hold back."

Zhang Xing looked at the other party in surprise, and then continued to introduce: "As for talking about sitting and spending time, you are talking about the Eastern Capital. Uncle Cao didn't go to Guanzhong at all."

"I've heard about it." Zhang Gongshen nodded, but asked seriously. "It's just that what is Uncle Cao waiting for? If Guanzhong is really exhausted, what good will it do him?"

"He's waiting for Taiyuan to move first." Zhang Xing had nothing to hide. "Guan Long is not just Cao Wei's family. Obviously, Uncle Cao is staring at Mrs. Bai to death, and it's not like Dongdu has other actions... Do you know Wei Shengji, the owner of the hut?"

"Naturally, he is considered to have the best chance of becoming a new Grandmaster..." Zhang Gongshen blurted out.

"This person had served in the army of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he returned to his hometown to build a house after entering the Grand Master's realm. Dongdu ordered the southern towns to go north to rescue, and the rest were blocked or simply did not move. This person accepted Dongdu's appointment. , in the capacity of the Dongchuan marching chief, led [-] Badi Huang barbarians to the north." Zhang Xing briefly introduced. "If this person goes, the situation in Guanzhong will be better... There is no shortage of soldiers, no shortage of people, there are countless warehouses, and only one backbone is missing...Of course, it is not enough to repeat the overall situation. Come out in force."

"So, the key point is that Dongdu is at odds with Taiyuan, Cao and Bai." Zhang Gongshen blurted out.

"Not bad." Zhang Xing just nodded. "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Zhang Gongshen said nothing more.

And Zhang Xing didn't bother to say any more: "The rest of the situation, you can just ask, and you can ask, there is only one thing, the so-called good start is good end, the young and young girls here are all because of your anger, I am just Take care of it on your behalf, but you will see the foundation in a few days, so you should make a decision!"

Zhang Gongshen bowed his head sincerely: "That's what I meant."

Zhang Xing nodded, finally stood up, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps and about to jump off the rammed earth wall, that Zhang Gongshen suddenly shouted: "Chief Zhang!"

Zhang Xing turned around in surprise.

"There is one thing that I am very curious about." Zhang Gongshen answered seriously. "The situation is so chaotic. Except for a few official forces and the elders in charge, everyone is actually scrambling to be the first. Chief Zhang is so young, why is he so calm?"

"It's not that I can hold my breath, but I always feel that if I can't sort it out, clarify the importance, make a good supporting grammar system, and expand without authorization, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it, and I also have the idea of ​​​​preventing others." Zhang Xing answered frankly. "However, this may not be a good thing. In troubled times, no one is sure. If the chance of victory is lost because of this, it is just a joke."

Zhang Gongshen nodded and didn't say anything, but he already understood in his heart - this is the reason for the move of the Dragon Gang in Hebei. Chief Zhang hopes to quickly stabilize the place after the expansion without any worries, so he wants to shrink and wait, do a good job He was ready to wait for another opportunity, and it was precisely for this reason that he would try to use the least cost to maintain the balance in Hebei. This move was not only to avoid a big war, but also to prevent the Hebei government and military forces from appearing as a leader, so that he could defeat them one by one in the future.

Zhang Xing didn't care what the other party was thinking, and jumped off the rammed earth splint wall, left the place, and then walked into the city.

In fact, the two of them just talked about the confrontation between the southern rebel army and the eastern capital Taiyuan, and did not talk about other directions, because those news, needless to say, have already spread to the streets.

Moreover, there is really nothing to say, it is a war:

After the Wu tribe invaded, Du Pozhen, who had stopped for a while, stopped for a while. After realizing that Dongdu was standing still, he became bolder and accelerated the sweep and control of the six counties (four counties) in Huaixi. Huaiyang received the political asylum of the Dragon Clan, and Yiyang quickly adjusted its strategy after being isolated in Huainan, and instead marched towards the east of Fuyang, Huai'an, and the south of Xiangcheng. I can't control it, as if I want to enter the whole territory of Huaixi, eat as much as I can.

Zhang Xing sent a letter to ask him, but he was just perfunctory.

And don't even mention that in the current situation, the hearts of the counties and counties in various places are extremely depressed, and coupled with Du Pozhen's record of Megatron Central Plains, whoever dared to resist, unexpectedly came a favorable wind.

However, Du Pozhen's behavior further triggered a chain reaction. You must know that Dongdu had previously issued a call to support Guanzhong and resist the witch clan. Not to mention elsewhere, Wang Daiji, who controlled Huainan by internal coercion, was a loyal minister. , Immediately went to the east in the name of King Qin, and then immediately collided with Du Pozhen in Huai'an. The two sides had one game on land and two games on water. Du Pozhen, who was not from the Huaiyou League, was so powerful that he lost three games in a row and went back to Shouchun directly.

At the beginning, Du Pozhen did not dare to chase, because he was already bordering another big force, that is, Bai Hengyuan, who controlled the Jingxiang area. The Wu brothers were rampant in this area, but they suddenly encountered Bai Hengyuan. Yuan and Dongdu and Donglai's Han Yingong were attacked from three sides, and they collapsed instantly.

But what's interesting is that although Bai Hengyuan also received a request from Dongdu to lead his army northward, he just didn't move. Dongdu reported that he was also stopped by Du Pozhen, a gangster from the Deposed Dragon Gang.

Du Pozhen didn't even know that he was so brave, but it didn't delay him from waking up, and then quickly organized troops, came to the Huai River he was familiar with, and aimed at Shouchun.

This incident caused quite a stir within the Dragon Gang, because Du Pozhen was regarded as the periphery of the Dragon Gang in name. If he lost, it would be fine. Take it away, what is that?

The point is, if Du Pozhen has more than ten counties in Huaixi and Huainan, who will be the boss?

This is not impossible. You must know that most of the separatists are unstable. They have no support, a weak economic foundation, no organizational strength and organizational centripetal force, so often a surprise attack will kill several states. The situation of the county's change of owner is like a novel.

In this case, in many cases, it is a matter of luck and courage.

In fact, this is also the reason why Zhang Xing repeatedly emphasized the organization construction and the integrity of the local bureaucracy system in Chulong.

In short, these days, due to the turbulent situation in various places, Zhang Xing once again endured huge pressure to send troops, and he himself fell into vacillation again... The reason could not be simpler. It is strategic determination, and the further he goes, the reason he denies sending troops becomes absurd, because he himself is planning another event of sending troops on a larger scale, and the risk is also greater.

In particular, this plan is becoming more and more perfect, and many people have gradually agreed and joined it.

For example, Xie Minghe and others, as well as several generals including Niu Da, have gradually joined them.

Arriving in the city, entering Cangcheng, Zhang Xing got the news as soon as he sat down. It turned out that while Luo Shu sent Zhang Gongshen and other envoys to show weakness, he suddenly mobilized The army raided Dai County, and Gao Kaixing, a former salt dealer, directly rebelled and surrendered to Luo Shu, while Taoist Gao hurried westward and fled into northern Shanxi.

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, and facing the gathered subordinates, he first gave an order: "Xiao Jia, go to Zhang Gongshen and talk about it, it's none of his business, let him do things well with peace of mind."

Jia Runshi left with his hands in his hands. Chief Zhang came to see the crowd just after the case: "What do you think? Are you going to send troops?"

"We definitely can't send troops..." Chen Bin was the first to answer. "At the very least, you can't send troops to Youzhou. Across the river, although Daijun Er Gao obeys us on the surface, he is actually a rebel general in Youzhou, and it's also separated by two or three counties, so it's really out of reach... But the world is turbulent, and people in the gang are uneasy, and if they don’t make some moves, people will have doubts.”

The others faced each other, mostly nodding in agreement.

"Then what are you doing?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.

"How about playing Hejian?" Someone suggested instinctively. "Didn't the chief say that we make long distance and close attack?"

"Hejian didn't fight before, but now he withdraws his troops and fights again, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

"But if we don't fight Hejian, it's not in our plan to fight other places...We can't fight Dongyi."

"A big decision?"

"There is no serious matter, what big decision is made? It was just held in the first half of the year."

"How about holding a memorial ceremony? Offering sacrifices to the three hui and four emperors?"

"Why don't we hold another military sports meeting... seizing dragons, shooting games, tug-of-war, wrestling?" someone suggested.

"That's it." Zhang Xing also suddenly interrupted everyone and gave an order.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but they realized that Chief Zhang was still unwilling to send troops.

Just like that, everyone dispersed, only Xiong Bonan, Chen Bin, Xu Shiying, Dou Lide, Ma Wei, and Niu Da and Xie Minghe, who had joined the plan, stayed at the end.

At this moment, Ma Wei seriously asked: "Chief, it's really unexpected that Dongdu doesn't move. What if Dongdu doesn't move?"

Just as Zhang Xing wanted to reply, Chen Bin said seriously: "Chief, I have already discussed it clearly with a few of you, and we all feel that it is easy to hit Li Yang's own warehouse. Personally lead the elite to counterattack... Therefore, even though the situation is chaotic right now, I still have to say, since the chief has left this matter to me to decide, then I must do my best for the chief and the Dragon Gang, so don't move , we can't move."

"In that case, wouldn't it be a good thing?" Xu Shiying said suddenly with his hands tied. "If he really doesn't move and sits and watches Guanzhong become deserted, we'll be safe instead. We will follow the original plan and not touch the Liyang Warehouse. We'll just wait until next spring, when there's no harvest and the food is exhausted, we'll go straight to Hejian."

Unexpectedly, everyone below Zhang Xing didn't smile, and the atmosphere became more dignified. Even Chen Bin didn't nod.

In the end, it was Xiong Bonan who was the first to be impatient, and frowned at his brother-in-law: "If that's the case, it's good, but what about the mess in the Central Plains of Hebei? We can support ourselves with our food, so how can we appease the river that has been taken down?" Let Hejian not starve to death? What's more, there is Youzhou? Besides, the current situation is very clear. These people only have their own territory and soldiers in their eyes, and they don't care about the life and death of the people. Faster than one, where will we get food? As the leaders of the rebel army, do we really care? Let them starve to death in front of the warehouse?"

Dou Lide nodded immediately.

Xu Shiying hesitated to speak, so he could only shut up.

At this time, Chen Bin also sighed: "No matter what, the chief entrusted me with this matter, but I can't guarantee it will go smoothly, and I am always ashamed."

Ma Wei and the others also nodded more.

But Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and answered with difficulty: "I have three things to say... First, the situation is chaotic and our pressure is increasing. I don't know whether I should take Li Yang or not. Cang, or should I expect Uncle Cao to leave Dongdu, so I need you all to analyze the pros and cons for me, explain right and wrong, and I will try my best to listen to you; secondly, please believe me no matter what the situation is For development, I will try my best to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision, and then I hope that everyone will unite and help me succeed; third, in the current situation, we still need to respect the previous agreement and maintain strategic focus. If Uncle Cao, the Eastern Capital, leaves, we will take Liyang, if not, we will take Hejian after spring plowing!"

These words were serious, and several people naturally nodded. Only Xu Shiying and Niu Da instinctively looked at each other, because the two instinctively thought of one thing, that is, the last time the other party said this, it seemed that they were still in Lihu that day. in the rainwater.

Thinking of that scene, Xu Shiying almost blurted out to say something.

Unexpectedly, Niu Da rushed ahead and responded seriously: "Of course I want to seek revenge on Qu Tuda, but I believe in the decision of the third brother! As soon as Dongdu left, I thought of paying back my life. Until now , never forgot one day!"

Zhang Xingda sighed, looked around and said: "Everyone, this is the root of our success! No matter what the situation is, as long as we can unite and do our best, no one is our opponent."

Xu Shiying shut up.
