"Li Shu is undoubtedly the most capable and has the most determined intention to rebel.
"But on the surface, he looks calm and calm, but in fact he never delegates power at critical moments... He still wants to gamble in his heart, and still regards the Deposed Dragon Gang as a capital that can be tried...
"Being able to maintain this harmony is essentially the same as you and me. Once your career has reached a certain level, if the Grand Master flies directly to deal with you at all costs, this capital will disappear... So, if the Deposed Dragon Gang really succeeds,
Even if the hope is shattered and he can leave a usable inheritance, he will definitely fight with you to fight for it. If he can't fight for you, he will also break up.
"This is the biggest hidden danger at the top of the Deposed Dragon Gang."
"None of the powerful powerful people are economical, and their powerful style is inherently selfish and treats public affairs as private..."
"Xu Dalang is the best performer, has the strongest foundation, and is the most willing to learn. Wang Wulang only got along with him for the first half of the year and is at least willing to obey. Cheng Shan is even worse. On the battlefield, as long as he is not in front of him, he can do whatever he wants. Zhai, Shang, these
The people are even worse, it is difficult to maintain their dignity... But this does not mean that you can rely on King Xu, but it means that even King Xu and King Xu regard the territory and soldiers as their fundamentals.
If you don’t advance, you, an outsider, come to rebel, so you can only rely on them...
"And as I expected, when it comes time to separate the family, they will definitely create trouble between me and Li Shu, ask for promises, and will definitely see which one can guarantee more power for them...
"So, from beginning to end, I didn't dare to trust them from the bottom of my heart."
"As for the remaining water bandits, cattle and horse dealers, gang leaders, and low-level officials, it goes without saying... It's easy to change a country's nature, and it's hard to change the nature of the country. The cattle and horse traders are reluctant to let go when they see gold and silver, and the gang leaders want to have their subordinates
There are many knives, the water bandits act unscrupulously, and the lower-level officials only think about their teams seizing power... But I am willing to pick some good seedlings from here to use, at least they are not as difficult to deal with as the powerful ones."
"There are also those who surrendered, but they were just trying to survive in front of the knife, and at most they could eat something... They didn't feel at all that deposing the Dragon Gang, a gang that looked like a wild gang, could achieve any results, but it was just a hindrance.
Due to the situation, we just gathered and dispersed for a while."
"The children of second-rate families who come to speculate have the same thoughts as Li Shu, but for now they can only rely on Li Shu."
"That's why I look up to Taoist Wei... Taoist Wei is a mean-mouthed person with little experience in doing big things. He can't be entrusted with anything at critical moments. He also likes to seek power. He seems to be useless, but
The good thing is that he is a pauper with no foundation, and he is willing to go with you when the time comes.
"And at least he can understand things. He has some wisdom. He can talk to him and do small things."
"There are still some people who can be used, right?" Bai Yousi leaned on the couch, holding the other person's hand, just looking at the rain outside the window, listening to the chatter of the people beside him, it was rare to feel calm in his heart, but now he heard too much,
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "What about Xiao Zhou, Wang Zhen, and Yan Qing?"
"Although Xiao Zhou has more thoughts on revenge, he came with him at a very young age, which is considered a good thing; Wang Zhen is just loyal. He was immediately shaken when Sima Zheng came before. I don't know if he can still believe it? Yan Qing
Although they are close together, they only want to achieve big things and become high officials. Essentially, they want to do business and gamble. Li Shu is a small person." Zhang Xing lay next to Bai Yousi and looked at the sky in the darkness. He replied
"The rest of Zhang Jinshu and others are like this... It is precisely because of this that I really feel that Qin Bao is precious and Li Ding is rare... However, according to my temperament, even if these two people really come, I will also
Tell them something bad."
Bai Yousi also laughed.
"Actually, I also know that they all have their own positions. They are all ordinary people and have shortcomings... Sima Zheng makes people feel convinced, but if he puts his position of loyalty, filial piety and justice, he will be our enemy in the future.
It’s a big deal, so there’s no need to worry about it.” Zhang Xing was silent for a while before continuing. “Even I myself don’t know my own problems... Aren’t I using others and looking down on them at the same time?”
"If that's the case, why are you still complaining?" Bai Yousi thought thoughtfully. "The more you complain, the more you care."
"Because..." Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, but he remained silent.
Perhaps he didn't want to lie in front of the other party, or he simply relaxed. After a while, Zhang Xing listened to the rain outside the house and gave the answer:
"Because I can probably understand in my heart that things are done by these common people. Even if things turn upside down one day, it is all done by these common people with their own vulgarity and their own agenda. But before that, they have to be
You have to fight hard, learn to hide these selfish motives, at least suppress them on the surface, and not show them in your actions, and then you can achieve success... Even the Supreme Being, how could he not be confused by selfish desires when he acted?"
"What else?" Bai Yousi asked with rare tenderness, stroking the other person's cheek.
"Also, I have to admit...now I'm a little stuck, trapped in this deposed dragon gang." Zhang Xing answered frankly.
Bai Yousi laughed in response: "My father just said something similar before... It seems that he doesn't listen to the old man's words... But I also understand what you mean. If you really want to wait until the end before leaving, I will accompany you."
If you hold on until the end, even if the Grand Master comes in person, you won't be able to stop me from taking you away."
"I knew it." Zhang Xing became energetic, propped up his elbows and raised his upper body slightly.
"But there's still no explanation." Bai Yousi nodded, but turned his head and looked at the other person's eyes shining in the dark night and continued to ask. "Since you know everything, why do you still complain? What on earth are you expecting?
Has the Supreme Being descended to earth?”
"Of course I didn't count on the Supreme Being. Even if the Supreme Being came down to earth, he would only be wary."
Zhang Xing simply answered half of the question, then hesitated for a moment, lay back, and then told the second half of the answer.
"As for what I'm looking forward to... I'm also a common man. Although I know how difficult everything is and how bad human nature is, I still can't help but look forward to the cool spring appearing on the side of the long journey, and the sound of drums and music after victory!
“Looking forward to the rain that will come out of a severe drought, looking forward to the remaining grain in the famine years, looking forward to seeing each other again after a long absence, looking forward to the meeting of heroes, looking forward to the succession!
"I hope that a real hero will emerge among mortals, who can suppress those selfish desires and save the time with pure extraordinary talents! To put it bluntly, I hope that a mortal like before becoming a Supreme will stand up and come to the rescue.
Fight alongside me!"
Bai Yousi stared into the other person's eyes and didn't react for a moment.
"However, I still understand in my heart that this kind of thing is just people's wishful thinking." Zhang Xing sighed, turned to look into the other person's eyes and continued. "It's not that you will never encounter such things and people in your life, but there are too few
I am often caught off guard when I encounter it, and I regret it if I miss it... I am really very lucky. When I held my breath and walked through mountains and rivers carrying the body to the Hongshan Col, I never thought
But then, there will be a heroine who belongs to me, waiting for me quietly in the rain at Hongshan?"
Bai Yousi turned around, sat on the other person's body, held the other person's cheeks with both hands, and wanted to speak for a moment, but was speechless for a moment, and just looked at the other person.
After looking at each other for a moment, the heroine did not come to be intimate. Instead, she smiled and said slowly: "But Saburo, have you ever thought about one thing... In fact, you are also my hero?
And to me, to the common people of the Deposed Dragon Gang, to the mortals of Jiyin and Dongjun, to many people in this world, you are actually already a hero?"
Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak, but the other party stretched out a finger to hold him down:
"The world was exhausted, and the emperor abandoned the world and left. It was you, Sanlang, who was the first to kill Zhang Han and shout out to restore peace to the world. At that time, the essence of the entire Jing'an Terrace gathered together, either just making noise, or just being silent.
"The soldiers and the people were in turmoil, and chaos was rampant in Hebei and the east, like boiling water. It was you who stood up and established the Deposed Dragon Gang. You complained all night, saying that this gang could not succeed, but you didn't know that it was time to save it.
The place is gone.
"When I rebelled in northern Shanxi, I already felt that this situation would not work unless we rebelled. Many people would not be able to live without rebelling. However, when we rebelled, it was extremely difficult to deal with everything. When I traveled to Hebei, I saw the states along the way.
The county was in chaos, and the rebel armies were stacked in layers but could not be stopped, but they merged and attacked each other, and their behavior was the same as that of bandits. The Youzhou army went south, and the result was even worse than that of bandits; only here in the east, people can still farm!
"As for those common people, if it weren't for you, they would still be scattered. They might have started fighting each other, they might have become bandits, they might have been suppressed by the government... This is the situation a few days ago. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid
It's going to be a rout. How can you hide the gold and silver and think about recruiting troops to surrender, which makes you talk to me angrily all night?
"Sanlang, after all, you are the person I recognize as Bai Yousi. If you weren't a hero, how could you be attracted to me?
"But having said that, I think it's cute that you, a heroic person like you, Saburo, are impeccable outside, but are so full of complaints in front of me."
Hearing this, Zhang Xing knew that there was some selfishness in it, but he still couldn't help but feel excited in the sound of rain.
In the past few months, he had been living a difficult and rebellious life like a paper framer, but he suddenly felt cheerful. Because this was exactly what he was looking for, the so-called spring beside the road and the valley of desolate years.
