Chapter 541: Anches (10)
The wind and clouds were rising and the clouds were falling on the Tongguan Road. Master Chong and Taoist walked on the river with his own package. The waves that were opposite to him were like some soft cloth pads. Not only did they not form obstacles, they became his help in walking.
It seems that any master can do this kind of behavior, but it will inevitably shine and be full of true energy. However, in this Taoist priest in Qingyi, he is really walking on the ground with no movement at all, as if he is walking alone on the water.
After walking for a while, around the land at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, the world's number one master suddenly stopped and stopped on the river. After a moment, a glow passed by and landed on the river ahead of him. The person who came was Chong and Taoist Master's best friend, the Great British Emperor Bai Hengqiu.
Unexpectedly, although the two met for a long time and Taibai Peak was near Chang'an, they were obviously persuading surrender again when they met, but when they met at this time, they were in a confrontation.
After a long time, Bai Hengqiu, who was still dressed in gorgeous clothes, spoke: "Brother Dao, how about the Dongdu team?"
Chonghe slowly shook his head: "Although he is a legacy, he is also a living person, and a smart person. Once he has seen the secrets of heaven, he has a reactionary heart. How can he be moved?"
"He knows he has left behind?" Bai Hengqiu changed color slightly.
"Looking at his words, I must have known it a long time ago."
"But if he really had a reactionary heart, how could he still guard the land of Tianyuan? Isn't Tianyuan the destined place to unload the armor?" Bai Hengqiu was puzzled again. "Isn't it enough to surrender and leave?"
"Because they have a stronger reactionary heart, they just need to sit here and wait for him, and see who can put on his armor..."
"Isn't this succumb to destiny?"
"Because he felt that he had done nothing wrong, why should he make armor for others?"
"The destiny is terrifying!" Bai Hengqiu shook his head and sighed. "It's really terrifying! Such a handsome genius, who knew what was going on, fell into it, and then he felt that he was reactionary to the destiny!"
He rushed and closed his hands without saying a word.
After Bai Hengqiu sighed, he looked at the person in front of him again, but he remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he still rushed and impatient: "Emperor Bai, are you here to intercept me just to ask about this?"
"Brother Dao, you only went to Dongdu this time and returned. Have you never gone to Yecheng?" Bai Hengqiu asked calmly.
"It's true this time." Chonghe said seriously. "I didn't think that the relationship between the Trinity Orthodox Church and the Gang is the main reason, and the war is imminent, so there are also concerns that the past will cause misunderstandings."
"Brother Dao's cultivation level is probably not a misunderstanding, right?" Bai Hengqiu sneered. "Didn't you go to Hebei many times in the past few years? They didn't even notice it."
"One time, another time." Chonghe was still serious. "After the Gang really dismissed the King of Swallowing Feng, his momentum increased greatly. From the Chief Zhang Xing to the ordinary White Rider, his cultivation level was louder, and the Grand Secretary happened to be in Hebei at this time. His position was not comparable to that of the person in Huaixi. How could I be a whole body?"
"Brother Dao." Bai Hengqiu also said with a sloppy attitude. "You are hard to be a seldom, but together, who can do this in the world? If Wei Erlang is added, the three of us will be the same as before. Even if they set up all the three platforms of Zhangshui, the world will be broken!"
"As always..." Chong and the rare thoughts were leisurely. "At that time, we three traveled together, traveled all over the Xiling Mountains of Bashu, seeking the secrets of heaven and earth, but at that time you were a idle Guanlong family, I was a foolish Taoist priest who had never been listed, and Wei Erlang was even a donkey peddler who only knew how to cross mountains and ridges. He had no worries, and he didn't dare to break through the formation? But what about now?"
"So what now?" Bai Hengqiu walked forward with his hands on the river. "Are you not Wei Erlang and I walking side by side now? You are the only one left!"
"Old Bai, why should you avoid the real and the false?" Chonghe said seriously. "Wei Erlang is only looking for the opportunity of a great master. It is natural to fight with you, but what about you and me? You are now in the fortune of Guanlong, and I am in the fortune of the Triune Orthodox Church... Can we still easily merge?"
"I heard from Brother Dao that if you want to buy you, you must buy the Three One Orthodox Church?" Bai Hengqiu was silent for a moment, and asked with a little hesitation.
"It's not to buy the Three One Orthodox Church." Chonghe pointed to the sky solemnly. "It's to follow the Three Greeds! Or I'm more open-minded, and I want to abandon the so-called four emperors' will and do it again!"
Bai Hengqiu remained silent.
"Look, you know that God's will is changing, and the old will is beneficial to you, so you can't bear it, right?" Chonghe couldn't help but sigh.
"Has Zhang Xing's gang abandoned the will of the old Four Emperors?" Bai Hengqiu suddenly asked. "Isn't he willing to let his Black Emperor choose the identity? Isn't he so arrogant this time? Isn't he getting the Demon Swing Guard and the Northland prepared by the Black Emperor for him out of thin air? Besides, you and I know that there may be some evil demon heretic behind him!"
"This matter must be divided. Of course I know that he has tightened the advantage of the Black Emperor, so of course he will not help him just because he has given the name of Ming Dynasty." Chonghe is still solemn. "As for the evil demons and heretics, we know that this matter is not that simple. We must never make a statement easily. We cannot say that it is the real supreme. Finally, we are talking about our affairs. You also know my temper. Isn't it ridiculous to use others as a raft?"
Bai Hengqiu smiled and said, "Brother Taoist, you are the best in the world and the most powerful god on land. But you are still a Taoist priest and can't let go of your Taoist priest."
"Isn't you the same? You know so many things and have achieved such great cultivation, but you are still the same Guanlong family, thinking about the prosperity of your family, the power and plot of the palace, and the manipulation of the world." Chonghe did not retreat at all.
"In this way, we are still in the same shape as we were in the past? We will be a Taoist priest all our lives and be a noble child for the rest of our lives?" Bai Hengqiu thought about it and seemed to be funny. "But why can't we go with each other?"
Chong Kazuka was also a little lost, but after a moment, he still had nothing to say and answered a half sentence: "In my opinion, even if someone wants to borrow the Honfengtai to set up a tower, it is not Zhang Xing, he is very ambitious."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had fulfilled his friend's obligations, so he started straight and walked over from the other side.
That is, the moment he turned behind the other party, Bai Hengqiu suddenly spoke again: "Brother Dao, have you ever thought that the world's general trend is about to be decided, either this or that. If the Three One Orthodox Church cannot choose, no matter who wins in the future, you will be facing each other."
Chonghe made a decision with his back to the other party, and then pointed to the sky with high ambition: "The three radiances flow, eternal, and whoever wins and loses, we must follow it. How can we come from either this or that?"
Bai Hengqiu sighed: "Then the last thing to ask Brother Dao, Sanhui has never changed since time immemorial, but as the Sanyi sect, you are only one of them. Haven't you ever thought of making the glow more prosperous in your hands? Besides, you hold that puppet in your hand, and the divination technique is unparalleled in the world..."
"It is because the divination technique is unparalleled in the world that I know that puppets should not be used to do such divination." Chonghe said solemnly. "Otherwise, it will inevitably cause trouble, and the Orthodox Church will waste it in my hands."
"But what happened before the war divination from ancient times to the present?"
"That's a scheming, so it's done naturally... Do you want the old Taoist to help you do it?" Chonghe continued to ask. "But to be honest, I have done scheming twice for Sima Erlang in Dongdu, and I have roughly guessed the result of this scheming."
"I guessed that you said that," Bai Hengqiu turned around and smiled. "But I'd better help Brother Dao to work hard for me."
Chonghe squatted down on the water surface, took out the wooden stick in the package, and threw it easily in front of the other party... As a result, the wooden stick fell on the waves below, rolled and sank towards the river bank. Fortunately, the Grand Master was here, he easily picked it up again, threw it again, rolled and sank the bottom again, threw three times, and floated on the water surface, set a shape, and then dispersed.
"The first two hexagrams are very clear, they are the hexagrams of the Supreme Nine in Xian." Chonghe pinched the wooden stick and explained seriously.
"I know this." Bai Hengqiu looked up at the Wangwu Mountain interface on one side and said. "There are rivers under the high mountains, and there are river waves below. The person has a seaport, but it can be passed by. The test said: It is impossible to overcome the mountains and rivers without a seaport... This means that the power of the Eastern Capital is like a mountain and a famous river. If you are not prepared properly, you will not be able to pass by the careful sailing, so you cannot defeat the Eastern Capital in the first two times... isn't it?"
Chonghe was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "That's what it means, but two or three may not be the exact number."
"This is natural, but in the end I still crossed the mountains and rivers?" Bai Hengqiu continued to ask.
"The third hexagram is the eighth sign of leisure time. The so-called Red Smell Boguan, the great king is not idle, and he will defeat the country and ride the family... I won't say that the Red Smell Boguan means the sign of entering the house." Chonghe explained seriously. "That is to say, after many careful and ready to try it completely, the third time you can enter the house, defeat the country and ride the family!"
Bai Hengqiu sighed to the sky: "This is the same as I thought... Sima Zheng is a legacy of destiny, and the essence of the Great Wei Dynasty. He also helps the army. It is impossible to conquer the Dongdu in one go. He must fight hard many times. However, he is a destiny that cannot be violated, or the general trend is irreversible. The Dongdu corner cannot resist the world, so it will be defeated sooner or later. If I were here, I would have to fight him for many times. Only by fighting hard can I get it... Brother Daoist, at my position, I am afraid of one thing, that is, I will go to age and cannot delay, so I must be quick and fast to achieve great things! This is a good hexagram, and it is also a bad hexagram! But I admit it!"
I rush and pack up my things, but I just kept silent.
"Brother Dao, if I am the one who can enter the Dongdu family, put on this armor, please come and help me again." Bai Hengqiu was extremely earnest.
Chonghe didn't say a word, carrying the package and heading west against the river. Bai Hengqiu watched the other party leave, but turned to Wangwu Mountain to the north, crossing the mountain and entering Jin.
As the two left, Wangwu Mountain still remained motionless, and the river still rolled.
Following the direction of the water flow, all the way east is Bai Hengqiu's target and the place when he came. It is called Dongdu, but it is actually the center of the world and the natural capital of the world. Now, the last remnant of the Great Wei who should have disappeared has obtained a stunning leader here.
Many people think that even so, it only makes this place where military strategists must fight harder to chew. After the Three Conquests and the Jiangdu Army, the Great Wei has completely lost its political appeal. No matter how strong the troops in the Dongdu are and how high the generals are, they are still water without roots, and will sooner or later be exhausted. However, many people believe that although Sima Zheng is poor, he is powerful and strong after all, and the Sima family has a strong influence within Guanlong. Correspondingly, although Bai Hengqiu took the lead, controlled Guanzhong and Bashu, and became the leader of Guanlong, he was old after all, and his only decent daughter left her. Once he survived a few games, when Bai Hengqiu was exhausted, the Sima family may not be able to replace him.
In fact, Sima is in charge of Dongdu in recent years, Guanlong people have very strong mobility on both sides. It is normal for veteran masters like Yu Jiluo to take the opportunity to join the Bai family, which has a larger victory, but some young people who are unsuccessful in the Guanlong clan have also gone to Dongdu to serve.
"Guanzhong looks fierce, but in fact, thousands of horses are all silenced. The emperor is just a great master who is trying to speak out, so he doesn't dare to speak out." On the night of the day, in the west garden on the northwest side of the Eastern Capital, which officially launched the war mode, a temporary dinner was arranged to reward everyone's hard work during the day. Sima was presided over, and hundreds of civil and military officials sat down below. At this time, the person who spoke out was a Dou family, called Dou Liao, who came from the Western Capital.
"The words of Du Wei Dou are reasonable." Dou Liao finished speaking, and a person next to him spoke, which was Xue Changxiong's eldest son Xue Wanlun. "My brother is in Xidu and often speaks, saying that the undercurrent is actually surging below, but no one dares to move... If that person is defeated in Dongdu, he will definitely be even more disinterested. If he is really old and hurt, there will definitely be changes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed out loud, but it was Niu Fangsheng: "Mr. Xue said this very well, but which one of our Guanlong lineage was not killed by a hungry tiger when they were weak? You should say it specifically?"
Everyone laughed dryly together, but after a while, they still couldn't help laughing. Even Sima Zheng and Li Shu in the main position could not hold on to the master's guest Li Shu. In the end, they really burst into laughter.
After all, first of all, this is really funny. The typical jungle law within the Guanlong clan and the superficial skin, hundreds of years of troubled times and the absurd second life of the Great Wei, are all filled with some kind of confrontational comic, especially these people themselves; secondly, the people of Dongdu have lived very depressed over the years... Not only do Dongdu have the weakest and have the greatest military pressure, but they are said that as the children of Guanlong, they were born in the prosperous era of the Great Wei and grew up in the collapse of the Great Wei. Which one is not tired, and which one is not overwhelmed by the current situation?
Everyone thought the world was going to be peaceful, but they ended up hitting the troubled times!
After laughing, Zhang Changxuan was a little serious: "There are two troubles in Bai's family at the moment... One is that Bai Sanniang is too outstanding and leaves again, so that the Bai Gong clearly has many other children, but none of them can be recognized by the upper and lower levels. However, the Bai family has a great family, and the legitimate family is divided into several houses and many families. Among them, there must be heroes. There must be civil strife like the previous families; the second is that the most trusted general and the person in charge of Daying is now, who is actually a person who has nothing to do with Guanlong before, and he can't get together on both sides, which is just a vain."
"This is the truth."
"With that being said, he is a great master after all, and the emperor is also a great master. One day he is here, he will be at peace."
"I didn't say I'm going to see him now."
"Stay first!"
Everyone sighed, generally agreeing with the previous analysis, but their words were a little vague, as if they still lack confidence in the upcoming war... They seemed to want to express something, but they were not easy to say it directly.
Moreover, his eyes gradually focused on the person at the top. It was mid-month, and the two months were gone. Many candles that could not be burned in the Xiyuan Library were lit on the spot, so even those without cultivation could see the expression of the Dongdu master clearly.
Sima Zheng smiled. Of course, he knew what these people were going to ask, and he was not ready to cover it up when the matter was about to come. But just as he was about to speak, his eyes swept to one of the people in the seat, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Li, what are you thinking?"
Li Shu came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing: "You have just said that Daying is full of horses, and it was suppressed by Bai Hengqiu with his great master's cultivation. I am also from Guanlong and helped the Zhong family in the world to rebel. How can I not believe it? I just thought that it was actually not just west, but also east."
Everyone was so awe-inspiring.
Sima Zheng also became interested: "What do you say?"
"Zhang Xing is naturally inferior to Bai Hengqiu in his cultivation, not to mention his family background, but he has two methods, which can be regarded as unique in the world. One is to build the structure of our gang and mediate conflicts among various families; the other is to be able to use personnel and strategies at all times to win over people... The former is to make the gang operate around him as the chief, which is why he had to suppress me at the beginning, while the latter is to convince him." Li Shu said seriously. "And his two abilities are so powerful that it makes people think that the gang is united, and some even think that the gang system is better than the old systems in the past."
"So, the gang is not united?" Sima Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Of course." Li Shu sighed. "The current situation of the Gang is actually entirely supported by Zhang Xing... When he is there, the Gang is one with the upper and lower parts, and the true swells, like a real dragon, and if he is not there, he will probably fall apart from the human world... Not to mention anything else, Bai Sanniang and Li Silang are actually all tied to Zhang Xing, who is the weight used by Zhang Xing to suppress the Daxingtai. If Zhang Xing is not here for a day, will these two people obey Xu Dalang or the Xiong Tianwang, the newly selected Daxingtai? Or if he chooses him, can the people from Daxingtai accept it?"
Many people here nodded, but what they said before was not clear enough. This example is enough to impress most people.
"Actually, this is nothing. After Bai Sanniang and Li Silang's appointment, they will return to Daxingtai. The few people from Daxingtai will be replaced by then, so there will be no trouble in this way." Zhang Changxuan retorted half of the sentence.
"Are you changing your coach at the last minute?" Niu Fangsheng sneered.
"Are we talking about now? After all, Chief Zhang's arrangement has not been properly done yet. There are big flaws now... It's just that he is young and has enough time to repair it." Dou Liao also raised his glass and interrupted.
"It's not just these two people, there are chaos in the gang..." Li Shu smiled. "Hebei and Henan, Henan are divided into Xu Dalang's central sect and Shan Dalang's local sect, Hebei is divided into Dou Lide's rebel army sect and Chen Bin's surrender sect... To put it bluntly, this is another reason why Bai Sanniang and Li Silang cannot integrate into it, because removing these noble children from Guanlong, the remaining people are originally a mob in Guandong."
"There are heroes in Guandong too." Xue Wanping, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. "Otherwise, what is your father?"
"Everyone said that this is because Zhang Xing has combined these heroes into one. If he is not here, these people will disperse themselves. Fighting... Is this what Mr. Li meant?" Niu Fangsheng asked with a wine glass covering half of his face.
"Yes." Li Shu nodded slightly.
"Let me tell me then!" Sima Zheng sighed quietly. "No one knows what happened in the battle formation... However, I have both reached the Grand Master and have already established a tower. Whether it is Bai Gong or Zhang Sanlang, there will always be a chance."
Everyone was shocked and then looked at each other.
After a while, Xue Wanlun said carefully: "Marson, since you have established a tower as a master, you are enough to deal with it. Why not... want a master?"
It turned out that the matter was too incredible, and many people suspected that this person was lying.
"Do you think I'm exaggerating?" Sima Zheng looked around and couldn't help laughing. "I didn't coax you, I'm now a great master... but this is not entirely a good thing."
Only then did everyone believe it, and then they were both happy and worried... Obviously, they misunderstood again, thinking that the other party used some fundamental method to forcibly improve their realm.
But it doesn't matter.
The war is about to begin, just pick up weapons and resist fate.
The moon is falling, the sun rises, and a new day is coming. Yecheng still knows nothing about the specific information of the war, but this does not delay the entire city from falling into a strange state - everyone is busy and preparing for the upcoming war, but the real final mobilization has not yet begun.
It was like a pot of water that kept receiving heat. It had not boiled yet, but it had already started to roll.
And the place where the heat is constantly dissipating is Tunfengtai.
Let’s talk about the Tunfengtai next to the Zhang River, and it was still west of the palace. It was previously a military palace group built by the Hebei regime. In the Eastern Qi era, there were three of them, and they were called Linzhang three. They were only specially abandoned during the Great Wei period. After the gang took over, they began to repair it. However, at present, there is only one high platform in the middle that has been restored and has a complete building system. In addition, the gang had just deposed the Tunfengjun before, so it was renamed Tunfengtai.
There was a rammed earth base on the site of the Tunfengtai that was more than ten feet high. With the efforts of the White Rider, it has been further increased and expanded. Now it is a huge platform of fifteen feet high, about one hundred and fifty steps from north to south, and more than one hundred steps from east to west, almost equivalent to a small city.
The core building above the platform is a rectangular hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, with huddles on both sides, and on both sides there is a circular lobby where dozens of people can be held. In addition, there are two rows of public rooms in the corridor along the platform, which belong to the Documentary Department and the Military Affairs Department respectively.
These are just buildings on the platform, and the logistics facilities under the platform are even more dense.
At noon on September 17th, something bizarre happened, and the three downhill entrances and exits of the Tunfengtai were blocked!
"They are right. The next platform needs to store documents specifically." Wei Xuanding was sweating profusely. He saw Zhang Xing, who was burying his head to sign the documents from afar. "Otherwise, how could he load such paper? The chief knows that just now, General Manager Cao told me that there is not enough paper and he needs to go to the market to buy it temporarily! There are so many places in Hebei to make paper, and our gang has many paper workshops, but now it is short of paper, which is simply a big deal!"
Zhang Xing didn't raise his head and said slowly: "Once the war starts, I'm going to go to the battle, I'm afraid this kind of rammed earth platform cannot get up? And if I take the Dongdu, it's hard to say whether I need to continue to repair the remaining two units here... As for paper, it's a good thing to talk about, it means that the big platform has more detailed control over the place. What's so funny about it?"
Wei Xuanding did not continue these nonsense topics, walked up to him and handed over a stack of papers: "Mr. Zhang and his team have formulated the ranking of Jinshi this year. There are many people this year, so they only choose one of three...Mr. Chen and others will look at it one by one, please give me the final order."
Zhang Xing took it, looked it up, and asked seriously: "Whoever has changed his ranking?"
"There is no major change this time, mainly two people... Li Yishi and Liu Renzhe, both of them are very outstanding. General Manager Chen took a fancy to the identity of a child of a Hebei official institution. He wanted to call him as a confidential document. General Manager Xu took a fancy to Liu Renzhe's origin in Yingchuan and wanted to call him as his confidentiality to join the army." Wei Xuanding said seriously.
"Then let's go to each other and don't delay each other?"
"Yes, but the chief has to choose the first place..." Wei Xuanding urged.
Zhang Xing was speechless. He thought about it and went to look at the list. He found that the third place was a Cui, so he came to ask: "Which family is Cui Dunyi from, Qinghe or Boling?"
"Boling." Wei Xuanding answered immediately. "His father and I studied and practiced under the prince and the prince... This time his father still didn't come, but he came. His articles were stable and his personality was the same, just like his father when he was young."
"Then let's do this." Zhang Xing directly drew a circle on the third place. "We can't discriminate against others just because they are children of aristocratic families. Let's help You Rong Naida."
Wei Xuanding was speechless, but he had to nod, and then hurriedly left after the other party looked at the list and handed it back.
Zhang Xing also continued to plunge into the previous pile of documents.
There is no way, this is inevitable before the war comes. If the battle starts, there will be no more documents, but isn't this not the battle start? Therefore, Zhang Xing must review the various plans of Wang Yi's army, communicate directly with hundreds of leaders, or appease or encourage the other party, let alone logistics issues such as food, military uniforms, and livestock.
On the second day, the entire Yecheng heated up further because the army began to gather.
Zhang Xing and others also became more busy. They all went to the army to inspect, including the new batch of Jinshi, and almost all of them were assigned to the army and held a simple and crude position - the clerical adjutant of each battalion.
This matter is controversial, because some people have proposed that the suspicion of these new Jinshi spies cannot be ruled out, but Zhang Xing finally decided to delegate these Jinshi... Because a spy needs to first get into the Jinshi of the Gang in a three-choice ratio, and then use the possible bright future of the Gang, but in the end, he will get a major trend of a battalion. I don’t know if he can contact him... This is a loss!
Xu Shiying and others also agreed that if there are spies, they will also depend on the trend of the war. Needless to say, the war is a big victory or defeat, even if it is a stalemate, the spy will also lurk to the end, depending on whether he can continue to get into the house. But if he really gets into the house, who will be a spy?
However, even though that was the case, there was no definite news until September 20, and the whistle cavalry kept rewarding. For several days, Dongdu was evacuating Hanoi officials and civilians and repairing the three cities of Heyang. This almost explicit and in line with the expected direction of dispatch was even more upsetting.
However, that's all. During these days and nights, countless whistle riders rushed from Hanoi and Jijun. Soon there were whistle riders in Wu'an Xingtai. The news was very accurate, and Bai Hengqiu moved!
On the evening of this day, Emperor Ying personally led a large army out of Wangwu Mountain, passed Zhuang Pass, and entered Hanoi, and would attack Heyang City tomorrow.
The number of troops is unknown at present, but it is claimed to be 200,000. The escort cavalry, who were prepared for a long time, encountered the escort cavalry of Daying and the Hanoi refugees who were unwilling to evacuate at this time.
After receiving the news, the top leaders of the help were originally going to the Tengfeng Tengtai, but were stopped by the men led by Qin Bao under the Tengfeng Tengtai. They asked several leaders to turn to Zhang Xing's residence Guanfeng Temple immediately. As for the rest, they would go back to rest and not spread military information.
Everyone naturally realized that Bai Hengqiu could not rely on the middle of the night to reach Yecheng, and the front-line troops had already entered a state of war readiness. At this time, the mess would only cause people's hearts to be in chaos, so they all acted according to their words.
It was said that it was the dragon leader, only Xiong Bonan, Wei Xuanding, Chen Bin, Xu Shiying, Chai Xiao and five others. They rushed to Guanfengyuan in turn and went to the small building of Guanfeng. Sure enough, they saw Zhang Xing in casual clothes in the pavilion above. At this time, the other five people were all in military uniforms, and everyone except Xiong Bonan was wearing swords.
The trend of sword wearing was formed after Zhang Xing gave the sword.
Seeing that all the five people were sitting down, Zhang Xingxian informed him of an expected thing: "I have ordered the blockade of the outer city, inner city, palace city, and Linzhang three platforms. Everyone is waiting for dawn to not make any noise and cause chaos in the city. Only the six of us will make a decision first."
Everyone nodded, and Wei Xuanding agreed even more: "It is true that Yecheng has a large population and especially many merchants. The outer walls are short and short, but there are not enough cover. Once they become panic, someone will flee, they may make a big joke."
Zhang Xing nodded and then said again: "I have a few wartime arrangements here. Do you have anything to say? Tell me quickly, don't hesitate."
The five people looked at each other, and Xu Shiying first asked with her knees, "When the plan is to set off from the military parade of the Dongcheng University Camp tomorrow?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded immediately.
"Terty battalions are first?" Xu Shiying continued to ask. "Ten battalions are sent in Yecheng before noon that day?"
"right."
"Is it enough?" Chen Bin suddenly interrupted. "Bai Hengqiu claims to be 200,000..."
"Daying must have 200,000 troops, but this place in Hanoi came from the gate of the gate. If Heyang City is not broken, he can send up at most 100,000, or even 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers." The person who explained seriously was Chai Xiaohe. "In fact, our thirty battalions are not without follow-ups. Including the support of the twenty battalions in Henan and the forty reserve battalions in the north and south, the troops are enough..."
"Yes, if you really fight, the front line will be able to expand by 50,000 or 60,000 people." Zhang Xing also added. "The strategy I set before was carefully considered. It is said that 200,000 will not change the overall situation."
Chen Bin nodded then, but was still a little uneasy.
"It's not that General Manager Chen, General Manager Chen has been immersed in the army for a long time. How can he not know about military affairs?" Wei Xuanding said solemnly. "But Yecheng is here... I always feel uneasy if I don't put the troops in front of Yecheng."
"Then I'll just say it." Zhang Xing responded without hesitation. "First of all, this military arrangement will not affect Yecheng. Moreover, from a strategic perspective, Bai Hengqiu still wants to take Dongdu, and it is unlikely that he will cross Dongdu to seize Yecheng. When we really reach that point, we will try our best to protect Yecheng. However, Yecheng is just a city after all, and this kind of war is against people, so if there is anything wrong with it, Yecheng is not important. We can build Yecheng like this in two or three years, and we can naturally build it again!"
Wei Xuanding pursed his lips and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Yecheng must be as safe as possible." Xiong Bonan finally spoke out when he saw this. "Because Yecheng is our capital, it is impossible to abandon it easily. The chief is just talking about extreme... Duke Wei, when it is necessary, I will naturally build a tower with the Swallowing Fengtai."
"The King of Heaven should try to use it on the front line." Wei Xuanding waved his hands repeatedly like a weak qi. "I understand the truth, but I can't tell the difference."
Everyone was silent.
Zhang Xing waited for a while, looked up at the half-circular bimonth, and then looked at the people in front of him: "So, actually, there are no words for those who have nothing to say?"
The few people were still silent. After all, there were so many preparations and plans before, it would be strange if they had any ideas on the spot.
"Actually, I never thought about abandoning Yecheng. As the Heavenly King said, the words were at the extreme." Zhang Xing smiled when he saw this. "Otherwise, I wouldn't ask you to make the following arrangements... Everyone, I have a few things to do when I take advantage of the war, and I have to endure it until now."
Several people cheered up again.
"The first thing is to mint coins." Zhang Xing took out a copper coin from his arms and threw it on one table. "For a long time, we have used the money from the Great Wei. After all, the Great Wei has kept so many reserves, and it doesn't make sense to... But now, the territory of our gang has been stable and the minerals have been bought. It should have been a way to mint coins from our own home, which is not only a profit, but also a means to make the Ming and gangs deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, if the money from the Great Wei is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it would be a disaster."
Everyone suddenly realized that Chen Bin, Wei Xuanding, and Chai Xiaohe couldn't help but pat their thighs after Zhang Xing said the first sentence - this matter should have been implemented long ago, but the war was delayed by Zhang Xing's Xiuhehe for the past six months.
Of course everyone has no objection.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing nodded and reiterated his attitude: "You should take it slowly and use military service to use new money, from the rear to the front, from the military to the civilian use, prepare enough old money and military supplies, and don't have to rush."
Having said that, Chen Weichai and the other two just nodded quickly.
"The second thing is to set up a censorate." Zhang Xing continued to speak, but the five people present were stunned.
Zhang Xing sighed quietly: "Our gang looks smooth sailing. In fact, it is because of the constant battles before, expanding and supporting each other to stand up. But we can't always count on this in the future. We must have rules and means... You also know my old habits, and like to take advantage of the situation and save energy... So when you think about fighting now, you will fight the banner of serious military discipline and gang rules. The Ministry of Assistance, Military Affairs, and Criminal Law work together to separate the supervision regulations and matters, and then unified the Censorate after the war."
Chen Bin hesitated for a moment: "What about Jing'antai?"
"In the future, the world will be peaceful. Jing'antai will be responsible for suppressing civil strife and monitoring the unstable aspects of gang practitioners, aristocratic clans, and gangs. At this time, it is also responsible for military spies; and the Censorate will supervise the illegal and unethical people in the country... In essence, the Criminal Law Department is fundamental, but in some places they cannot manage, so they set up these two places." Zhang Xing said seriously. "Of course, if there are really gangs who are connected to a gang, if you want to rebel, you must go together, and the three families will go together. It depends on the scale and let the leader judge."
"Then do it!" After pausing for a while, Xiong Bonan said in a muffled voice. "To be honest, the chief and us can do whatever they want when they are alive, but they always have to think about what we are gone and what they have to go down... Not only the chief, but Dou Longtou had said this kind of thing before when he came back. Many brothers mentioned it, and some people were thinking about it even if they didn't say anything... According to the chief, even if they don't expect it to be forever, they have to do it."
"Then do it!" Chen Bin suddenly stood up and stamped his feet. "So what about us if the chief is willing to do it? But the chief must agree to us that the agreed date will come in three years, and you must be the lord of the country seriously!"
"This is natural." Zhang Xing stood up and responded. "Never break his promise."
Xiong Bonan and others also stood up, and finally Wei Xuanding slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, but sneered: "I want to make a condition when the Chief and General Manager Chen say this."
"You said." Everyone was inevitably surprised. However, Zhang Xing knew the other party's temper and laughed.
"After the expansion of Yecheng, the banned prostitutes gradually became more common, and most of them were under the banner of dancers, female musicians, and even cooks and female crowns. I want to use military laws to purify Yecheng!" Wei Xuanding said proudly.
Everyone felt relieved and even felt a little funny.
But Zhang Xing was as always: "You can purify Handan and Li Yang together!"
"Okay!" Wei Xuanding nodded. "Then I have nothing to say, let's start a war!"
Zhang Xing nodded, waved his hand again, signaling the few people to leave, and they really left to rest.
The next day, because the patrol and information were controlled, the upper and lower cities of Yecheng had no reaction at first, but soon, in the morning, soldiers began to clean the streets and helped countless middle and high-level officials from the big street to flock to the east gate. The notices were also covered with bulletin boards everywhere. Even the ignorant people knew that when Da Ying invaded Hanoi, the Ming Dynasty would proactively declare war in order to unify the world.
That's right, the notice did not say anything to help and protect Dongdu, but instead told everyone directly that the world was in conflict, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight for the world by itself, but also to prevent Daying from winning the world.
In the morning, the ten battalions that were about to set out were already gathered outside the campus, namely Wang Shuyong, Liu Heibao, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling, Xiahou Ningyuan, Ding Shengying, Liang Jiading, Cao Chen, Han Erlang, and Jia Runshi's ten battalions.
Countless scholars and citizens in Yecheng had already left the city to watch, and only gathered on the east side of the Grand Collegiate Field and the north and south official roads. According to the notice, the army would go directly to the front line after the military parade.
"I'm going to go out soon. Should the chief say a few words?" Chen Bin asked on the stage.
"Then let's say a few words!" Zhang Xing, wearing a black armor and red cloak, rode on the yellow puppet horse with a scimitar in his waist, and immediately agreed. The next sentence shook the sky with his true energy. "Brothers, I am Zhang Xing, the chief of the gang! Now I have a few words to say to you!"
The sound wrapped in true energy quickly rang throughout the entire campus, but the noise below did not stop directly.
"I have never doubted whether everyone is good at fighting, nor have I ever doubted whether everyone dares to fight! But at the end of the battle, I have to figure out one thing, that is, why are we fighting?" Zhang Xing ignored the reaction below, but continued like a chat.
"Brothers, we posted the notices to the military camp early in the morning. If you didn't read them, someone would definitely say that they would give you some advice. It was written clearly that you wanted to fight for the world, but why should you fight for the world? You can't guard Hebei, the north, the east, and Huaibei to spend your peaceful life? Didn't you have been having a good time in the past six months?
"The reason is very simple. If we don't compete for the world, the world will have to earn it for others, such as Daying! Then we still have to ask, what if Daying wins the world? At that time, you leaders and leaders cannot become officials, can't we still go home to farm? Isn't it still equalizing the land?
"Brothers, this is not like this, not like this!"
At this point, the words were turned with the true energy, and it was as deafening as thunder. The inside and outside of the campus, which was already shocked by this magical volume, was silent at this time, and everyone was awakened.
"I'll tell you, what will happen if Da Ying wins the world!" Zhang's words were so convincing that the top leaders around him were completely attracted. "Da Ying wins the world, they will demolish Yecheng again!"
There was a burst of thunder among the army below and the surrounding people because this was a truth that could be followed. Of course, they would demolish Yecheng again! Many of the top leaders of the gang on the stage, including some people who were informed below, laughed out loud... After all, they thought that Chief Zhang would say something earth-shaking. Compared with the gains and losses of the world, what is demolishing a city?
"Daying won the world, and the girl family in Handan can only be a female musician!" Zhang Xing continued to speak, but he was a little slow. "Daying won the world, and if you want to be an official, you can only go to the Guanlong clans to flatter the playboys among them, be low and small, and then you will never be able to enter the house for the rest of your life."
Now, those smart people can't laugh.
"Daying won the world, your children, brothers and sisters who built the foundation will be sent to the border areas and Guanzhong to die of old age and will not be able to return home.
"Daying won the world, you must go to build a palace again.
"Daying won the world, your taxes will flow into their official warehouse like water, and then rot into it, no one will care about it." Zhang Xing said one after another, and gradually, no one was talking and laughing inside and outside.
On the contrary, Zhang Xing suddenly smiled frivolously at this time, and raised his hand and pointed to the southeast:
"Daying won the world, brothers, even Lishan and the others will be spread out!"
The army array below burst into flames again.
"But what about the world? Will we go and dig the Mangshan?" Zhang Xing changed his tone. "I tell you, no! We won't dig the Mangshan, we won't discriminate against Guanlong people as officials, and we won't let the people of Guanlong come to Yecheng to build palaces. On the contrary, we will restrain their corpses and build canals for them in Guanzhong! We will burn high-interest debts and ban prostitutes! We will also include the talents among them in the gang and govern the world together!
"Brothers, our Ming Dynasty and Daying are not the same thing, not two families fighting together! They are not worthy! Our Ming Dynasty and the Gang are stronger, more civilized, and more in line with the laws of heaven than them!
"Brothers, we are fighting for the world, but we are not fighting with them. We are fighting for the world, but we always have to eliminate these traitors who do not know the destiny and do not know the way of heaven!
"You are not going to fight simply, or fighting for land for killing people. What you are doing is the best in the world! You will bring a new world of heaven!
"So let's go! Take up the war and win the destiny for our own family!"
Wang Shuyong, who had been preparing for a long time, was stunned for a few breaths before he striding forward, guiding his own battalion of troops, which caused the people in Yecheng around him to cheer and shout.
Liu Hei-chung was ranked second. He watched Wang Shuyong's camp start until he set off, but he was still in a daze with the cheers of the scholars and people in Yecheng around him... He had been in a daze since just now.
The reason is very simple. Liu Heifeng always felt that he was a smart person. From fighting for the military organization of the so-called Hebei rebel army to taking his bride to find Chief Zhang on the river bank, he always knew what role he was playing... He didn't care, because he always knew what he was looking for. He was just a Qinghe rogue and could fight. He wanted to lead troops to fight, so that he could feel comfortable all over.
In this regard, when the war began and when he got his wish and led a cluster of troops to set off in his best state, he admired his operations so much that he had done for half a year.
He felt that everything was worth it, and he felt that those who joked about him were ridiculous people.
But just now, listening to Chief Zhang’s words that he thought he would only shout at all in his mouth on the surface, he found that he was still shocked... It was not that Wang Shuyong and others were concerned about Lishan, but that the world’s first-class achievements!
What you want to do is actually the best achievement in the world, not a murder and a battle for land?
Liu Hei-chan walked for a long time and took the army across Hanling Mountain. He gave up this idea and focused on military affairs.
