After the whole army crossed the Huan River, Zhang Xing felt that he had no desire or desire.
Because he knows that from his own perspective, his strategy has been completely successful. Even if there are any problems, it is not his responsibility. He has tried his best to do this matter to the extreme, taking everything into consideration, I have done everything that I can do, and even if I may not be able to do it, I try my best to consider doing it in the future.
Maybe there will still be rivers of blood today, maybe there will still be innocent people killed and injured after this turmoil, maybe the final result will still trigger other wrong butterfly effects in the court... But all of this is just like this plan The same goes for the second half of the story, and it cannot be said that it is Zhang Xing's responsibility anymore.
He, Zhang Sanlang, had tried his best to come up with the optimal solution, put it into action, and completed his part brilliantly.
According to the agreement, as long as Zhang Xing used the golden cone trick to lure the gangsters from Mangdang Mountain out in advance and cross the river, the rest would be Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi's business.
How these two powerful gods forced Chen Ling to send troops, how they protected the fleet passing through this area, and how it ended, all had nothing to do with Zhang Baishou.
Of course, Zhang Xing had no desires and desires, but the others' desire for expression was a little too much.
After passing the Huanshui River, the brigade directly occupied Jishan. The first one to bear the brunt was naturally Mr. Xu. Poor Mr. Xu had been hanging around in Jishan for many years. Once the foundation was lost, the food was used, and the money was scattered, he almost kowtowed before he came down. Of course, some of the basic core members and the title of leader have been preserved. This is also because everyone at the top is anxious to "do business" and is unwilling to create extraneous problems.
However, since we are talking about tomorrow's business, we can't help but continue to compete enthusiastically. You must know that by this time, the big bosses, those with connections and those without, have already known that the Longgang garrison is their own...
How do you say that?
This trip is like searching for something.
I dare ask who doesn’t want to grab more and share more?
However, the bosses are all considered the elite among the so-called bandits and thieves, and they all know that robbery still requires rules and regulations. If it cannot be done beautifully and cleanly, the gold and silver will be scattered, the brocade will be burned, or the robberies will be destroyed by those who patrol in fine clothes. The rider got violent and pushed the car into the eddy water. What does that mean?
So we clamored for a long time, and finally decided on a strategy to outflank Tun Yuan. Zhang Xing and Du Po Zhen calmly took the task of encircling the left wing and outflanking them.
However, it is not over yet, because we still need to discuss the matter of profit sharing after the war, but when it comes to dividing... Don't forget, Mr. Zhang once said that the most difficult thing in the world is the word "divide" Already.
Ever since, after hastily assigning the troops to "do business" tomorrow, the small Juyi Hall on Jishan Mountain almost became noisy.
Boss Zhou's momentum is different now, especially after annexing Jishan, he has many ideas. He seems to want to take back the "Gui Gong" first and then unify them. Several small leaders of the forces in Mangdang Mountain also support him, at least demanding the so-called There are more people who "return to the public"... It is obvious that Mr. Zhou Yi wants to bring down the younger ones and defeat the older ones, and the little leaders immediately understood.
However, Boss Lou and the other leaders of the Eastern Realm gangsters only shouted for a fair distribution of soldiers and horses according to each department... This is of course understandable, because even though the Eastern Realm gangsters have the smallest number of people, it seems that they should be more in favor of Boss Zhou's plan.
But after all, they were foreign gangsters who had slipped over from the East. They wanted to take the money and leave immediately, and they were even more afraid of being annexed and not being able to get anything.
At the same time, Boss Zhao and Boss Wang just sneered and pretended that I didn't understand what you were saying. In fact, they were just trying to figure out who would get it.
There is no way, why do the little leaders want to rely on Boss Zhou, and the gangsters in the East want to rely on Boss Lou? Isn't it because people like King Zhao exist?
"He is evil-minded, bullies others with power, wants to have a pattern but not a pattern, and wants to be generous but not generous...Compared with the two bosses Zhou and Lou, you, Lao Wang and Lao Zhao, are like two people in the sky and two on the ground! If you fail to succeed, you will fail.
How come you have the nerve to sit here?"
Yes, these were Mr. Zhang’s exact words, and he took action.
It’s okay not to get up. Zhang Xing was made dizzy by these people and wanted to sleep. But as a bandit leader, how could he just leave while discussing the distribution plan? He just left without making a fuss.
, it’s simply a huge flaw, okay?
So, when Lao Han and others pushed Mr. Zhang to come out and say a few words, he was determined to stand on the last guard duty and without hesitation stood up and fired at Wang and Zhao.
And as soon as it was released, it immediately suppressed most of the Juyi Hall.
"Mr. Zhang, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Boss Wang immediately faced him coldly, holding his arms in his arms. "How can you slander us for nothing?"
"Am I slandering you?" Zhang Xing said angrily. "Don't you know what you and Lao Wang are? You risk your life for small profits and sacrifice your life for big things! When others are working hard to build a stage, you just watch with cold eyes and test them three times.
Five dodgers have set up a stage, but they want to kick others aside! Although the divisions between Boss Zhou and Boss Lou are conflicting, it is just a difference in plan. After all, everyone has been taken into consideration. Only the two of you rely on yourselves.
He has great power and cultivation, and he only wants to eat more and get more, without caring about any other brothers! I think I, Zhang San, have traveled all over the country, but I have never seen such a shameless person! And today, I saw two of them at once."
"Master Zhang, are you so shameless?" Boss Zhao, who is now known as Zhao Xingchuan, just listened coldly at first, but at the end of the hearing, he suddenly got angry and threw the wine glass.
He directly held the saber and stepped on several cases, and then pointed at Zhang Xing opposite with one hand. "What qualifications and status do you have, come to tell me and Lao Wang?"
"Do Mr. Zhang have the right to speak? Is it your turn to speak?" Zhao Pozhen, who was sitting next to Zhang Xing, did not hesitate. He immediately pushed the table in front of him to put the food and wine in front of him, and also raised his knife.
"You two don't recognize Boss Zhou's plan, and you two don't recognize Boss Lou's plan... Do you really think that everyone doesn't know what you two are thinking? You are both businessmen with many years of experience, who doesn't understand?"
"Zhao Xingchuan!" Zhang Xing glanced at Zhou Yi, who was silent and expressionless, and Lou Huan, who was expressionless. He calmly stepped on the tables in front of him, then calmly raised his knife and looked at the opposite side. "
Everyone was talking about something, and you suddenly got angry and held down the knife in front of the bosses. What do you mean? Do you want to fight with each other? Who should fight with? Who is afraid of you? And you thought it would be your turn to compete with the knife on the edge here.
ability?"
Boss Zhao was furious, his true energy was radiating out, and he wanted to pull out the sword. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the hand holding the sword was held down by someone beside him. It turned out to be Boss Wang who was in the same position tonight.
.
Zhao Xingchuan knew something was wrong, and quickly followed the other person's eyes, only to find that nine out of ten bosses here were only staring at him, not Zhang Laosan opposite him, or the two real bosses Zhou Yi and Lou Huan.
He just squinted his eyes to look at himself, knowing that it was his ugly appearance that had aroused everyone's anger, so his arrogance instantly subsided a few levels, and then he sat down angrily.
When Boss Wang saw Zhao Xingchuan's understanding, he responded with a straight face and said: "Master Zhang... we definitely have no intention of ruining everyone's business. It's just that Boss Zhou and Boss Lou have different opinions, and we don't know what to do..."
"
"Bah!" Zhang Xing shouted suddenly and interrupted the other party on the spot. "Don't talk nonsense about sowing discord. Just talk about the distribution plan between the two of you... Everyone is here to listen with bated breath and judge in public!"
"I……"
"Is there any?!" Zhang Xing interrupted the other party again and scolded him sternly. "If not, I will treat you two as abstaining from the vote and listen to what the public has to say! If there is, then let him go as soon as possible!"
Under the attention of all the bosses, Wang and Zhao looked at each other for a while at the banquet, but there was no way they could say such nonsense in public as who got it and who got it. If they did, they would only be regarded as "shameless people".
His name was scolded for nothing.
"No." Boss Wang, who was afraid of rats, swallowed his breath forcefully. "Now I just want to hear Mr. Zhang's strategy...Does Mr. Zhang have it?"
When Zhang Xing heard this, he threw away the knife in his hand without hesitation, walked to the center of the hall, bowed first to Zhou Yi, then to Lou Huan 2, then held his hands together, and then spoke:
"Bosses, Boss Zhou spoke before and said that he can speak his mind freely today... But with all due respect, we have to do business tomorrow. If everyone has an account in their mind and has their own agenda, the business will be done tomorrow. I'm afraid
We have to make a mess and throw away gold beads for nothing... So, I have to ask Boss Zhou to come up with an idea in the end, I'm just saying it."
"Mr. Zhang is an honest man and can handle things!" Du Pozhen, the poorest person in the room, took advantage of the situation and shouted. "It doesn't hurt to listen to what he has to say."
Zhang Xing paused for a moment and could only smile bitterly: "Actually, Boss Zhou and Boss Lou have both spoken out, and they are both public-minded. What can I do better? I just want to be a slap on the table.
Get rid of the troublemakers, make peace, and settle the matter as soon as possible... What I mean is, please ask Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lou to give a discount... For example, I agree with taking away the father-in-law, but don't take too much or smoke.
20% should be placed in the Dangshan Juyi Hall. However, after all, there are a few people in the East whose homes are far away, and they still want to go back to celebrate the New Year, but the remaining 89% should be quickly distributed per head to their families as soon as possible.
, let them go back to the Eastern Territory to spend the New Year first, and then come back to discuss where they belong."
The hall was silent for a moment. This was just a way to make peace. Zhang Laosan was so polite. Who can say whether it was good or bad?
"I agree." While the two bosses were still twirling their beards and rubbing their bellies, Zhao Pozhen was the first to respond.
Everyone knew that Zhao Pozhen was an old friend of Master Zhang, but they had nothing to say.
But now that Zhao Pozhen said this, several Dongjing gangsters thought about the care in Zhang Xing's words and nodded one after another. Seeing this, Boss Lou finally nodded.
At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Yi.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yi also sighed: "I'm doing this for everyone's good, but who knows that no one has a big picture view... So let's do it like this, 30%, 30% of the public number, I can't say anymore... The key is who can
I don’t know if General Chen from Longgang or Mr. Zuo from Huanshuikou will come to speak. When the time comes, I will have to deal with it.”
Several people looked at each other in confusion. After all, it was Boss Han who took the lead in agreeing and settled the matter reluctantly.
It was a noisy and chaotic night, and the next morning, everyone worked hard to get up, and then ate and gathered... As soon as breakfast was served, the elite sentries who had been sent out before reported back one after another, saying that they were on the other side of Chengfu City, dozens of miles away.
The Longgang military camp was silent, and they pretended not to see anyone at all. However, the transport team that was marching from southeast to northwest to Longgang suddenly increased its speed. Several sentries came close, and they were all patrolled by the Jinyi patrolmen.
The master personally dispatched to intercept and kill, as if he had noticed something.
On the one hand, everyone was in high spirits, but on the other hand, they became a little anxious.
Only Lao Han was a little uneasy at this time, and he was talking nonsense about how Long Gang should reply to the letter, but no one listened... Zhou Yi and Boss Zhou stopped putting on airs and immediately ordered the entire army to dispatch troops quickly.
Going southwest, we want to cross the Longgang military camp and conduct an interception.
It was a dry and cold winter in the Central Plains, and five to six thousand troops were dispatched. The smoke and dust billowed like tides, and it was impossible to stop them.
The instigator, Zhang Xing and Zhang Baishou, was wearing a brocade robe, a horse, and a scimitar cloak. He had no worries in his heart. He just directed his two to three hundred 'elites' to move forward on the left wing, which was the southeasternmost side of the military formation.
Qin Er followed beside him. He wanted to speak several times, but he just remained silent.
Even Du Po Zhen didn't say much at this time. He just led his two to three hundred people and followed closely behind the military force under Zhang Zi's banner.
When the march reached noon, the situation suddenly changed subtly. It is said that all the masters of the Jinyi patrol came out and began to kill the "rebel" sentries with all their strength. In a short period of time, not a single sentry turned back.
In other words, the "Rebels" lost their vision.
But it doesn’t matter. The general position of the convoy has been figured out before. It is right in front. All you need to do is pass by the two wings at this time... In the exact words of Boss Zhou, unless those dogs in golden clothes can move the car from a distance of two to three hundred paces.
Driving through the vortex with thin ice on top, otherwise the team would be in trouble!
Zhang Xingshen thought so.
Then he immediately followed the military order and urged his headquarters to accelerate toward the southeast, thereby undertaking the original task of flanking deeply and outflanking.
But for some reason, Mr. Zhang’s outflanking was a little bit to the southeast. A few subtle people tried to ask questions over and over again, but found that even Du Po Zhen, the leader of the Du family, had no words to say. They just followed, but had nothing to say.
.
In this way, we drove a full seven or eight miles to the southeast. Everyone was panting, but they finally saw the whirlpool in the distance. However, Mr. Zhang did not order to turn around and go northwest against the whirlpool to meet it.
The whole army was stopped on the spot.
Du Po's formation also stopped, and the two teams rested together.
Immediately, everyone saw clearly that Boss Zhang, Boss Du, Second Master Qin, and Uncle Fu had gathered together, but they just stood on a small slope and looked at each other in silence. After a while, Chef Fan tidied up.
The team also walked up the slope panting and shaking their body fat, ready to participate.
But at this moment, suddenly, loud shouts of killing came from the northwest, causing the five people and countless subordinate gangsters to all look up.
Chef Fan was startled and was the first to speak: "Four heads, do you want us to go over? We're late, so I'm afraid we won't be able to grab it, right?"
Du Pozhen and Fu Boshi looked at each other without saying a word. Zhang Xing and Qin Bao looked at each other without saying a word. Only Zhang Xing shook his head slightly.
Chef Fan had no choice but to come and wait with the four of them.
And after waiting for a while, he heard the noise getting louder and louder, and it lasted for a long time, but he finally realized: "I know, there are still really powerful people in the Jinyi Patrol Team of Jing'an Taiwan. They are really tough over there. Go!"
It's too late and you're going to die...Brother Zhang came from the Jing'antai Gongmen. He knows the inside story and will save the brothers from casualties! Now we can send out troops to pick up the leaks!"
Zhang Xing still didn't say anything, but sighed.
Chef Fan turned pale and could only stand in front of the four horses with his hands folded.
Sure enough, another quarter of an hour passed, and the shouts of death became louder and louder, with the momentum of being pushed from the northwest along the Guohe River. Chef Fan was completely uneasy, but he could only try to be brave and look at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing looked to the north and saw that there were already flashes of light flashing on the billowing smoke, and even more fleeing people were vaguely visible, but he did not hesitate anymore and turned around to look at Du Po Zhen: "Brother Du... Chen Ling is a man with evil intentions. If
He knows that I am here, and he is afraid that he will eat one by one. Even if the second dragon of the Sima family has warned and spoken, he is not safe... You should turn around and leave now. Don't go back to Huanshui. That's okay.
It’s not safe. Just go down the whirlpool. Take your people and the people from Xianren Cave with them. If you see there are a few useful ones, take them if you can. If you can’t, they will throw them away halfway.
The way...I will deliver the money as soon as possible, and the person will come back as soon as possible after the new year."
Du Pozhen nodded, turned around and went downhill with Fu Boshi, and urged his headquarters to head towards the vortex immediately.
At this time, Zhang Xingfang and Qin Bao looked at the fat cook who took a few steps back.
The latter was sweating profusely and shook his head: "So this is the brother named Chen who is not authentic and wants to eat Mangdang Mountain? Mr. Zhang, although you know this, you must be Mr. Zuo's man, and he has done
Now that you have the boss, you should protect your brothers."
"Third brother has protected the most innocent people, but more than you think." Qin Bao suddenly spoke first, holding an iron gun. "Cook Fan, let's not hide it from you, Chen Ling and the Zuo brothers are also part of the third brother's plan.
, we are originally members of the Jing'an Taiwan patrol group, we came here to protect the fleet... nothing else."
After saying that, Qin Bao directly reined in his horse and passed Chef Fan, shouting loudly, to scold the bandits in the Immortal Cave and let them escape with Boss Du.
The movement in the distance could no longer be concealed from anyone. At this moment, they heard Qin Bao shouting and saw Du Po Formation really leading everyone towards the vortex. Everyone was horrified and almost collapsed. Some of them chose to follow, and some
Choosing to flee, a few people actually chose to stay where they were to see Zhang Xing and Qin Bao.
But Qin Bao just waved his iron gun to drive him away. One of them, the Xuzhou soldier, seemed to have noticed something and asked sternly, but Qin Bao shot him.
Seeing this scene, Chef Fan completely lost his voice and could only stand speechless.
And Zhang Xing finally said immediately: "Dafan... there are too many people, and the officials and the robbers are divided. I can only let these people live their lives... But you, after all, we have met each other. If you are willing, I can do it."
Bao, let you go to Dongdu to make a living."
Chef Fan looked back at the smoke that was getting closer and closer in the direction of the fighting sound, and then looked back at Zhang Xing. He stared for a long time, took a few breaths, and actually shook his head:
"You also said that there are two types of officials and bandits. Since you are an official and I am just a bandit, how can I walk the same path?"
After saying that, he ran away directly, calling the last few people to follow him and escape to the southeast.
Two groups of four to five hundred people dispersed easily. Zhang Xing took off his cloak and stood on the slope with Qin Bao, continuing to watch the battle. By this time, the outcome of the battle was clearly decided, and there were already figures in his field of vision.
The armored and sharp Wei sergeants, as well as a small number of bandits who knew the opportunity, fled here.
Most people passing by here only shouted that Chen Ling was treacherous, and they didn't know who shouted it first, while Zhang and Qin just stood still.
Until they saw a horse approaching in a panic from a distance, and the person on the horse was wearing a red cloak, but it was Zhao Xingchuan.
"This is a man who has access to two small meridians of the Qi Meridian. Can we keep him?" Zhang Xing asked Qin Bao first.
Qin Bao nodded: "I think it's okay!"
Zhang Xing thought for a moment, then laughed: "Let him stay for a while, but let him go!"
Qin Bao immediately nodded in understanding.
Saying that, Zhang Baishou rode up to meet him, then came from a distance and asked: "Boss Zhao... what's going on ahead?"
"Zhang Laosan, I haven't asked you yet!" Zhao Xingchuan became angry when he saw these two people. "The good news you spread... That Longgang Chen Ling is basically using deception to eat us!"
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xing continued to move his horse forward with a serious expression. "If this is the case, the three masters of the Zuo family will not let it go. My golden awl cannot be faked."
"Bullshit golden cone..." Zhao Xingchuan was about to curse again, but suddenly he saw two people on the opposite side charging toward him with a spear and a machete. He was alert in his heart and realized it completely. He immediately turned around and headed east, ducking down to avoid the attack in embarrassment.
After escaping from the hand of the horse, he looked back, his eyes were splitting, but he didn't dare to fight, so he could only clamp the horse's belly and run away.
Zhang Qin and Zhang Qin did not give chase, because at this moment, a stream of light flashed across and landed directly on the small slope. A man with a golden helmet and a halberd in his hand came over, but it was Sima Zheng who came in person.
"Zhang Sanlang."
When Sima Zheng arrived, he calmly handed over his sword. "What a wonderful plan. You deserve the most credit for what happened today."
Zhang Xing knew the other party's temper, so he did not dismount and directly returned the gift: "Did Sima Changjian come to see me specifically?"
"Of course." Sima Zheng smiled in response. "Your home inspection and I have a word. If you make a mistake, I have to pay for it with my life. How dare you not come over? Zhang Sanlang, on the other hand, how can he become the leader in a few days? I will kill him."
I penetrated Zhou Yi's Chinese army and chopped off his head to find out where you were."
Zhang Xing didn't say anything, he just felt tired now.
However, after thinking of something, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm fine. If Sima Changjian is interested, why not go back and keep an eye on Chen Ling... This person is really dishonest."
Sima Zheng thought for a while and then asked: "What do you mean by dishonest? Are you afraid that he will deliberately commit murder to silence his reputation, or are you afraid that he will deliberately indulge and still cause trouble to the fleet?"
"Both." Zhang Xingyi said.
"Then do you think this is a good idea?" Sima Zheng thought for a moment and replied. "I'll replace you and come back to keep an eye on you two, not to guard against bandits, but to guard against Chen Ling... Then I'll go back and supervise Chen Ling, etc.
After he swept the main battlefield, he forced him to immediately send troops to Jishan and leave three thousand soldiers on the edge of the Huan River to ensure that the fleet could travel without worries."
Zhang Xing finally dismounted and solemnly handed over his hands: "Sima Changjian has an upright heart and an upright man, and his reputation is well-deserved."
Sima Zheng nodded, and a stream of light rose from the ground. Under him, the swirling water that had not changed for thousands of years and the land of the Central Plains were filled with smoke and dust. Three thousand soldiers were arrayed neatly, laying down from the upper reaches of the swirling water.
Unstoppable.
PS: On the third day of the first lunar month... I will continue to wish you all a happy new year, good night.
