"Mr. Zhang, that's it... Li Longtou, Leader Du, and General Sima have united... They have different positions, but they are all afraid of you, and they obviously want to do something to prevent you from taking control of the overall situation."
In the Zhangqiu area of Qi County, the partition walls were clanging. In a narrow passage next to an iron pot workshop, Miao Hailang bowed his head respectfully and said these words.
Hearing this, Zhang Xing didn't say a word. He just put his hands behind his back and crossed the other party. He saw a dozen buckets piled on the car in the open space outside the narrow passage. The buckets were all open and filled with breathable and moist food.
fresh water plants, and then they were lying on the water plants and were tied up
A pair of plump autumn crabs with claws.
Zhang Dalongtou stretched out his hand and pushed open the net rope. The released Qiu Bi immediately opened his teeth and claws, and even wanted to pinch his benefactor, but the pliers froze in mid-air.
In this way, many times, seven or eight crabs were frozen, and then they turned back to the narrow channel.
At this time, Miao Hailang remained motionless in the narrow passage.
Zhang Xing smiled and pressed the opponent's shoulder from behind: "Miao Gang Leader... I, Zhang San, will remember what you did today in my heart. When we meet in the future, no matter what our identities are, we will always have a share of what we did today."
Think about it."
The muscles on Miao Hailang's shoulders relaxed instantly, but he quickly asked again: "How dare I ask Mr. Zhang, what should I do next? Please give me your instructions."
"Whatever should be done, just treat it as if you just followed Sima Erlong's order to deliver a piece of autumn crab."
Zhang Xing calmly ordered."
You can go wherever you need to go next, you just didn’t say these words to me... Go and have a rest, I will have someone give you a gift in return and a gift later."
"understand."
Miao Hailang nodded his head repeatedly.
Zhang Xing turned around and shouted to the next door. Immediately, Jia Runshi killed the guards and took off part of the autumn crab. Then he called Miao Hailang's attendant who was separated by his mouth to guide Miao.
The waves left with the remaining autumn crabs.
As soon as the people left, Zhang Sanlang just sat down in the courtyard next door, rubbed his palms against his side and swallowed the formed iron pot amidst the clanging sound, but his expression became obviously painful.
After a while, Yan Geqing, the confidant leader, appeared in front of Zhang Xing, then he held his hands in front of Zhang Xing and came up to speak: "Third brother...is this an opportunity?"
"what chance?"
Zhang Xing pressed his hand to the iron pot and asked in surprise.
"A chance to capture Li Shu?"
Yan Qing takes it seriously."
He colluded with Sima Zheng to deal with you, third brother. From the perspective of Jianghu rules, does it count as cheating on both sides? From the perspective of the great cause of opposing Wei, does it count as collaborating with foreign enemies?"
"Empty talk - in short, saying that a person whose status is the same as mine is a traitor is too frivolous."
Zhang Xing shook his head in reply."
If this thing works, Li Shu can find someone at random and accuse me of colluding with the imperial court? Or colluding with the British Duke?"
Yan Geqing nodded, but still did not back down: "This is the truth, but the current situation is different. At this time, we are in the strongest position."
"People's hearts will be dissatisfied."
Zhang Xing shook his head."
And we are not big enough to dominate the gang."
"Then... let's start with Du Po Zhen first, Ru Wen?"
Yan Qing still hasn't given up."
There must be no objection within the gang to the annexation of Du Po Formation. Merge Du Po Formation, combine the power of Jianghuai heroes, and then go back and annex Li Shu."
"There's something wrong with that operation."
Zhang Xing thought for a moment and said nothing."
But I'm afraid that's what the imperial court wants, and the imperial court is also happy to see you move, so that we can have our hands free after eating Nanyang."
"It's like doing business, it's almost a matter of time and cost."
Yan Qing laughed on the spot."
As long as you do it slowly, steadily, and well, it has nothing to do with whether the imperial court wishes it or not? Besides, where else in Nanyang can I save him?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Zhang Xing thought about it again, then immediately nodded and knocked the iron pot next to him with his knuckles, making a crisp sound."
But Yan Qing, I think, what would Fang Yanlang and Li Shu think of?"
Yan Geqing immediately asked, "Even if we want it, how can we stop it?"
Zhang Xing remained silent.
That time it was Hou Fang's turn to think about it, and then smiled again: "You understand what Bage means. Bage wants to say that we are also stupid people. We will give up in pain or sue for peace, or simply jump over the wall.
, then it will be convenient for me to do something...but with all due respect, I
If you ask us, we have to prepare ourselves and step up firmly, just like Bago did to Zhishijun in Weishui that day, how do you force us to move?"
"It makes no sense anymore."
Zhang Xing came to his senses and knocked on the iron pot next to him again."
"We must be prepared for both small and big matters...especially the preparations for sending troops. We must also contact the leaders and ask for our views on the current situation...If you ask about something else, just ask the next one.
How to fight? Where to send troops?"
Yan Geqing thought for a moment and nodded again: "That's right. It's better to have a small army suppress the situation! It's better to mobilize the small army to wrap up the leaders in a dignified manner."
Zhang Xing nodded heavily: "Let's do that. He will send a letter. When the pot is ready, you will go to Dengzhou to inspect the ordnance repair, and then go to Jiyin to inspect the winter clothes. Then you will be in Jiyin."
Let’s talk about where to retreat.”
Of course Hou Fang, who had received permission for the tandem, had something to say - things are not like that. Zhang Xing now has absolute initiative and minimal military power. As long as I make a mistake, someone can stop me.
In the first half of autumn, the Jishui Basin retreats into the busiest season of the year.
The first is the various light-hearted military and political activities as well as the troops' rest and recuperation operations... Yes, the troops' rest and recuperation is also very easy. They need to make winter clothes, pickles, customize iron pots, repair ordnance, and write summary military articles.
, it is necessary to collect the boats and prepare the ferry, and to collect the autumn tax on the fields.
Therefore, there are ships loaded with cargo everywhere under the Ji River, and there are large groups of troops and craftsmen dispatched under the official road.
It’s like it’s not the end of the world if you’re not busy.
At the same time, there were undercurrents surging everywhere, both privately and externally. Messengers were running along the Jishui official road in seven places. Some of them were from the gang, and some of them were from the private lives of powerful leaders and local leaders.
There are many cronies and spies with obvious origins.
Everyone seems to be discussing something, everything seems to be busy, and everyone seems to be waiting for something.
In the Jiyin Domain, the trees were green and yellow, and the Cangcheng in the domain was noisy. Li Shu stood under the pier of the inner wall of the Cang domain and looked up, and saw a small courtyard full of people in Cangcheng who were noisy and laughing.
.
Few of them were dressed in old and tattered clothes, but not many were cleanly dressed, and most of them had been dressed for many years. There were only a few little Vs, but there were not many boys hiding in the courtyard of Cangcheng. The little families were divided into groups, but they did not seem to be the same.
Distinguish according to the complex age of rich and poor.
Li Shu looked at it for a long time and suddenly asked the person next to him: "Are they gathered according to villages and towns? "
"yes."
Zhang Sanlang frowned in response."
But at the end of the day, this group is made up of gang members and orphans who died in the war."
Li Shu suddenly understood, then nodded slightly: "It's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Sanlang, who was not yet in front of Ji Yinliu, immediately laughed warmly."
It's a waste of time, a waste of money and food, and it makes people angry. How can there be only one out of a hundred people who have to use it? How about taking in some orphans, or giving them all to build the foundation for the disciples in the gang."
"The grievances among the people are really very small, aren't they?"
Li Shu asked loudly.
"More than just small?!"
Hou Fangzhi shook his head in reply."
You must have seen some people's tricks. I issued an order again, but the evil people asked you to do it, and you also have to work hard... The people above just thought it was you who wanted to collect labor and money.
There is no male child yet, and even more so when you want to plunder people to be maids for my leaders, but the result is a lot of scolding, it’s a big deal that the top ten friends of the ten families can’t have the best friends of the eight families, and they are all unrelated to the gang.
Residents outside the territory. That's Jiyin! Helping the outside world to manage stably - for a year and a half,
Jiyin, which has a deep foundation, knows what the trouble will be like, and the reputation of the gang is not half ruined by that incident."
"That's not the trouble."
Li Shu sighed and just put his hands up under the pier."
The problem is that without public grievances, what is the world without public grievances? It is also because I am afraid of trouble, even if it is life-threatening trouble, it is appropriate. But it means that everyone refuses the matter, but the result is still ordinary.
Passed; everyone thought it would be useful and would cause resentment, but when the resentment came, it was directed at me alone, but at your entire gang..."
Although Zhang Sanlang has fallen into trouble, he is definitely an idiot. In fact, I am very sensitive and care about some things, so I heard it all at once.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
That Ji Yinliu came forward and frowned."
The small gang has become a trend. Although the small family does not have their own ideas, and they can be said to be in charge of politics and people, there is one person who dares to get rid of those eight characters. Everyone is included in the gang, Nene
Everyone knows it inside and out... If you want to do anything, you have to go out there."
"Hou Fangzhi is a gifted talent."
Li Shu looked at the gradually quiet Cangyu and witnessed a handsome old man walking from inside. He held his hands towards him from a distance. He waited until the other person had retreated outside the courtyard and finished teaching the foundation building method. Then he turned around, but his back was turned to him.
Cangyu, looking at the slightly crowded streets inside
, there are many people crowded there, all of them are parents of children who are learning foundation building tutorials."
In that domain that day, when you saw me conjuring thousands of rebels out of thin air to come to my aid, you were a little shocked. You felt that that person was really as talented as Zhang Shizhao, and you really couldn't do it.
When I came to the battle of Lishan, I almost conjured up countless grains out of thin air, and the civilians turned a disadvantaged battlefield into a superior battlefield. This time I retreated eastward, I was fully prepared, and I had the right speed and momentum.
...Cheng; you take Xiao\lang's compliments seriously.
As for the establishment of the gang's structure, it is the basis for those things. Lao Fang, I am a born rebel!"
"Some people are born to rebel. If you have to say, you think I am the prime minister."
Hou Fangzhi was silent for a while and gave his answer."
But the talent of the prime minister is the talent of the emperor..."
Halfway through his words, Fang Liuqian swallowed his words, while Li Shu stared blankly at the situation in the domain.
A moment ago, Zhang Sanlang frowned, only took a step back, and said loudly: "It was indeed timely to say that at that time, and it was your fault. But what about Fang Yanlang? An alliance is an alliance, but
I'm afraid that it would be useful to form an alliance. Everyone in the small family would agree to join, but
I have done nothing to break the formation, so my prestige is at its peak, and everyone in the gang obeys me..."
Li Shu turned slightly to the side, as if trying to avoid the situation.
"You can figure out my tricks!"
Hou Fangzhi didn't care at all, he directly followed me and continued to speak sternly."
As for his left-wing leader, as long as I stand up and say, we must subdue Jianghuai and subdue the Huaizu League! Help the middle and lower, even if it is just a single Tonghai.
He would agree, and he could not agree in person. Then, instead of leading a small army to press against Huaixi as soon as the decision was passed! At that time, Hou Fangzhi would have no choice? Besides, Fang Yanlang is our ally at this time, but this is my
Now I just want to preserve my own power. Once I am defeated,
If you try to persuade them, they will become the stronghold of the right wing!"
At this point, Ji Yinliu simply grabbed the sleeve of the opponent who was still avoiding him: "It will be your turn then! Why is he hiding? Where can he hide?"
Li Shu let out a long sigh, turned around and said to his confidant: "You understand what he said! But what can I do? Do I want you to pull the lever? Or do I want you to fight against me?"
Hou Fangzhi was silent immediately, but a moment ago, I still shook my head: "Longtou... that thing is like that, it must be an action, and people are going to fight... He thinks about it, if we don't have the power of each other now,
, will it be easy to let it go?"
Li Shu could only nod casually: "If that's the case, go and talk to a few small leaders first, just to express that it is more beneficial for a family to be independent than to be in a gang."
"That's all it can do."
Zhang Sanlang sighed for a moment."
You do it!"
After a while, the man spread his hands again: "You can always vote for Wei, right?"
Even though Li Shu was in a light mood, he also smiled at those words, and just walked up with his hands behind his hands... Isn't it that Li Shu is dead? If I jumped up from that pier, would it be like waiting to surrender to Wei?
PS: Good night, little family, that chapter only contains those.
