The autumn wind is getting colder and colder, almost drowning out the sound of the armor of the patrolling troops at night.
This is the permanent military camp in the north of Lihu City. Under the lights, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi, who had refused to enter the city, sat opposite each other on a wide over-the-top couch. Between them was a mountain of letters, some of which were Some of the paper is silk. The paper is put into the envelope and the silk is put into the bag.
"Is it too much?" Bai Yousi, who was sitting by the wall with his hair untied, held his chin in his hands, smiled, and told the truth.
Zhang Xing, who had a waiter in front of him, tore open a letter and nodded while reading: "There are indeed many, and many of them are useless and repetitive. But there is nothing I can do. I walked here from Dengzhou to help You can basically touch everything you can control, and there are messages inside and outside."
Bai Yousi shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xing glanced at the letter, turned around and wrote a brief message on the paper on one side, then threw the letter directly into a basket under the bed. "Is something wrong?"
"It's not that the statement is wrong, I just think that the current situation is caused by you yourself, Sanlang." Bai Yousi said one thing.
"What did the White Lady say?" Zhang Xing didn't even raise his head and kept moving.
"These letters, as well as the messengers I met along the way, including the oral messages I heard, are not about official business, but I want to know how you are going to deal with Li Shu? I want to know how you are going to deal with the Huaiyou Alliance? Including making suggestions to you. Or ask where you plan to fight next?" Bai Yousi did not shy away from his words. "And these matters are either of great importance or too sensitive. If you don't express your position or speak, they will feel guilty... ··After all, people as magnanimous as King Xiong are still rare in this world. Wasn’t Xu Shiying testing you all the way? Chief Wei’s words at the bank of Juye Ze the day before yesterday were even more direct. Liangshan Dazhai decided to expel Li Shu from the gang."
Zhang Xing nodded without comment, just read the letter, recorded it, and kept throwing it into the basket. "You scared them."
Seeing this, Bai Yousi slightly raised his voice. "Sanlang, because you are so silent, they think you are very deep in the city and have a plan... so many people with ideas are full of doubts and fear. Then in turn, you express an extreme attitude, and people who have no ideas will be much more cautious in front of you."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"Sanlang is also a figure now." Bai Yousi reminded seriously.
"If the White Lady of Yitian Sword says someone is a person, then it cannot be said that he is really a person." Zhang Xing laughed instead. After laughing, he became solemn again. "But actually looking at the world, I have just started."
Bai You thought for a while, understood what the other party meant, and nodded accordingly.
Indeed, Zhang Dalongtou has become the number one figure in this world without knowing it.
Being a master of pill condensation means that he has reached a position in the cultivation system that is at least not backward, and has the basic ability to protect himself; more than three years of experience have allowed him to leave his own name in this world. Many people know about him or have dealt with him. He has done some things, gained lovers, friends, and established some enemies and rivals; and now, with the collapse of the Wei Dynasty, he has committed suicide. , he quickly participated in it, established an organization and became its core, and won prestige and territory, mastered considerable military strength, and recruited and controlled a considerable number of followers.
It seems that even the local supreme gods have noticed him.
This is just like being an official in the Wei Dynasty. Generally speaking, becoming a county guard or a lieutenant general is considered to be an entry into the palace, which means that you have entered the high-level officialdom, and you will be treated personally wherever you go.
He can even say a few words to Mr. Nan Ya even if he is tough, and regardless of whether he is tough or not, one sentence can make the life and death of the common people and ordinary soldiers below Zhang Xing in this world,
The same is true in every aspect.
He is on the table, on the chessboard, no one in the world can ignore him, and the fate of a bunch of people is controlled by him. This is actually the lifelong pursuit of many people.
However, doesn’t Zhang San claim to be doing something good? If he just wanted some wealth and honor, why did he turn back on his way to Wu’an County to take office in a year and a half?
So, everything seems to have just begun.
Zhang Xing's mentality was roughly the same, and Bai Yousi probably understood the second half of the other party's meaning, so he nodded along.
After these words, the two of them were quiet for a while. Zhang Xing quietly read, copied, and threw away the letter, while Bai Yousi sat opposite, leaning against the wall, staring at his lover in a daze.
This seems to be not just Bai Yousi's observation, but more like the fact that the two have become more familiar with and open-minded about each other after more than half a year of direct interaction and de facto marriage.
If you want to be in a daze, just be in a daze.
Even the priorities mentioned by Zhang Xing before were much calmer.
"You are indeed right, I put too much pressure on people." It was quiet for a long time. Suddenly, Zhang Xing looked at a letter in his hand, squinted his eyes and continued the previous topic. "Look at this Feng Ji
The letter from Yin said that Li Shu was obviously agitated during the past two months in Jiyin City. He seemed to be frightened by me and even asked Zhang Daxuan for help... Do you know who Zhang Daxuan is?"
"I know." Bai Yousi came back to his senses and was curious for a moment. "Who wrote this letter? What did Li Shu ask Zhang Shizhao for? How did this person know? Who can monitor these two people in the city?"
"It was written by a man named Zhang Shizhao." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "According to what he said, Li Shu came to Zhang Daxuan and said that he wanted to be the core of the gang but did not dare to risk his life, so he asked Zhang Daxuan this
Is there any way a smart person can deal with me?"
"Do you see what you force people to do?" Bai Yousi was startled for a moment and shook his head: "Who is Zhang Shizhao? The great master is very cautious when he sees him. Li Shu was sick and went to see him in a hurry. He also gave him everything.
Having said that, he deserves it...
··Why is Zhang Shizhao so confident that he tells you directly?"
"Because Zhang Shizhao gave him a conspiracy." Zhang Xing finished copying and threw the letter away, his expression still unchanged. "A conspiracy that is not afraid of me knowing or that Li Shu will know about it again..."
He asked Li Shu to organize a series of connections and encourage me to send troops to Hebei. After I led the troops to Hebei, Li Shu could take a breath and develop his own power through the territory of the Eastern Territory, and the leaders and helmsmen of the Eastern Territory would also
I can take a chance to take a breather and tidy up some fields and houses."
Bai Yousi's heart moved slightly and he blinked: "I know that going to Hebei is absolutely right from the overall perspective, but is this matter so upright?"
"It can be regarded as Zheng Guoqu." Zhang Xing looked at the letter and said disapprovingly. "Do you know Zheng Guoqu's plan?" Bai Yousi laughed on the spot.
Zhang Xing also laughed, and temporarily put down the letter in his hand and explained a little to the other party: "Before and after Emperor Bai, the world was in chaos, and there were many countries. Two of them were clearly strong and weak. When the strong general swallowed up the weak, There was a water conservancy master in the weak country named Zheng Guo, who went to the strong country and volunteered to help the strong country design and build a canal in the rear. If the canal was completed, the land area of the strong country would be doubled, transportation mobilization would be accelerated, and prosperity would be unstoppable... ·But in fact, Zheng’s move was to delay the annexation of weak countries by strong ones. Later, when the news was revealed, the strong countries still chose to continue building the canal, and the weak countries did suffer a little longer.”
"Sure enough, this is the situation." Bai Yousi suddenly realized. "What a Zheng Guoqu."
When Zhang Xing saw that the other party had woken up, he continued to read the letter. After reading for a while, he laughed again: "Actually, I have noticed that these days, people are in Dongjun, Jiyin County, and even Dongping County. Compared with the previous leaders and helmsmen who were stationed in the four eastern counties, there are indeed significantly more leaders and helmsmen in the North County who proposed to send troops to Hebei. About half as many... It seems that there is still a series of connections. Who would have thought that these people's words were appropriate and their analysis was accurate, and they only tried to persuade me to send troops to Hebei in the future based on the pros and cons, but 20% of them were selfish and wanted to drive me away so that I could enjoy peace and happiness in the east. What? But you don’t know where the two percent of selfishness lies.”
Bai Yousi also shook his head on his wrist: "This is what I have always been afraid of. The human heart is so difficult to understand, and I never have the mentality like you, Sanlang, and am willing to openly accept such selfishness."
Zhang Xing remained silent.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yousi asked curiously.
"Everyone has selfish motives, and all private interests serve the common good." Zhang Xing sighed. "The selfish motives that everyone has are public motives, and we must take them seriously... But the sword in your hand is too sharp, and you are too lazy to care about these selfish motives." It’s just public-spirited.”
"So, should we use our land and houses to bribe these powerful leaders?" Bai Yousi asked back.
"No." Zhang Xing shook his head. "More and less are relative, and the selfishness of a small number of powerful people is often opposed to the selfishness of most ordinary people. What is needed at this time is to take care of as many people as possible. Compromise... Or we should not bribe these leaders with land and houses. We should still maintain the normal granting of land to more common people. But rewards and punishments should be clear from the beginning. Even big leaders and leaders can be given extra land based on military merit. House reward."
"Then why didn't you do it before?" Bai Yousi became more and more curious. "With Saburo's intelligence, he should have thought of it a long time ago, and as far as I know, those local powerful leaders, the big leaders don't have excessive military merit rewards at all."
"Because when they rebelled, they designated several counties as their own territory, with financial power, legal power, and military power all under one roof, just like the county in charge of the Eastern Territory." Zhang Xing smiled with a hint of sarcasm. "These territories, Don't talk about that time, even now I can't make them spit it out... I don't want to give it to them. But you are right, I should insist on doing this to them leaders from the beginning Rewards, otherwise why would we take back their territories in the future?"
Bai Yousi is thoughtful.@essence_bookstore…j_h_s_s_d_c_o_mFirst.Posted.Updated.Updated~~
The autumn wind was howling outside, and Zhang Xing continued to read. It took about another hour to read all the letters and tally up all the opinions.
At this time, Bai Sanniang finally spoke again: "How is it? Is there anyone trying to persuade you to marry Li Shu?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing blurted out as he checked the form carefully. "Zhang Jinshu... I guessed that he misunderstood the purpose of my sending him a private message."
"Isn't Yan Qing there?"
"Yan Qing said it face to face."
"But you're not going to fight Li Shu?"
"It's natural...we have to consider the overall situation. If we start a fight at this time, it will only hurt the relatives and make the enemies happy. It's actually better to fight without breaking up."
"What about the Huaiyou Alliance? How are you going to deal with it?"
"If you want to go south to Jianghuai, annex the Huaiyou Alliance. If you want to go north, let him fight with Li Shu... He will definitely be happy like this... Just continue to fight without defeat."
"Sure enough... So what's the result? Should we go to Hebei or Jianghuai? There are more people there?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang Xing pointed to his statistical table. "I looked at it. Originally, the mainstream opinion should be to annex the Huaiyou League and enter into Jianghuai. A small number of them had other strange suggestions. But in the west
In the three counties, the effect of Li Shu's tandem is still very great. At present, it has been clearly stated that the two are basically divided between 64 and 64, and more people support going to Jianghuai. But I estimate that the real decision will be made in Jiyin
, support for going to Hebei will continue to increase, and there may be an eventual leveling out.”
"What about you?" Bai Yousi suddenly asked. "Do you want to go to Hebei or Jianghuai? As you said, you will tell me on the way to Jiyin."
Zhang Xing thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he nodded, then put down the form and carefully analyzed x(h+z:i[
"This is what happened. From Li Shu's point of view, of course he wanted me to go to Hebei. This was Zheng Guoqu's plan.
"nature."
"From the perspective of the leaders who agree to go north, this matter is a matter of public and private matters. It is a matter of public and private. They themselves may not be able to say how much public or private their support for going north is.
People will feel confident that they are public-minded..."
"yes."
"As for me, I am actually in a dilemma... and the dilemma is also public and private." Zhang Xing seemed to be very candid. "I know very well in my heart that going to Hebei is the right thing. This is public;
But going to Hebei is bound to be difficult. This is private.
"Zhang Shizhao, no matter how you question his position and character, you can't say that he has no brains. He made the reason for going to Hebei very clear... In the end, it is very likely that the Eastern Qi, Western Wei, and Southern
The Chen family is fundamentally opposed! Because they have been opposed for hundreds of years and have a tradition of military, political and cultural integration, it is difficult to break away from this rut.
"The Western Wei Dynasty is essentially Guanlong. It has the largest power, the most talents, the richest military experience, and the best terrain. It is a natural vassal of Bashu, and this big plate is now guarded by the Wei royal family, and there are also people including your father.
A bunch of people inside are thinking eagerly. I really can’t say who will win in the end, but once the new owner is decided, they will be the most promising family.
"Nan Chen is not hopeless. Xie Minghe only said that the eight Jiangdong families are hopeless. But apart from the eight Jiangdong families, what about the Notre Dame of Nanling and her grandmaster son Feng Shi? They are extremely powerful.
Hope. The old lady is a local force, and the Feng family is a bureaucratic family that went south. The marriage between the two families, plus the eldest lady’s status as the grand master, has actually fully integrated Nanling. Once the Feng family goes north to seize Jiangdong and Jiangxi, there will be
Qualified to compete for world hegemony. In addition, the True Fire Sect and Demon Island are all variables in the south.
"In this case, if the gang wants to fight, they can only do what Zhang Shizhao said, integrate the Eastern Qi's hometown and compete with the other two families! And if they want to integrate the Eastern Qi's hometown, they must capture Hebei and subdue the Northern
Land, enter the land of Jin!
"Not only that, there is also a saying within the hometown of Dong Qi.
"The Eastern Territory is very rich and powerful, but even with the support of Dengzhou and Xuzhou, it is not enough because its location is so bad. Because it is at the intersection of various forces, all forces who want to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains will come here.
If you want to hit it, Dongyi will do this. If you rely on this, I am afraid that you will be hit again and again. In the end, the whole army will be exhausted and people will get a chance! Therefore, you must go north to take Hebei. The terrain of Hebei is too
Well, Shandong in the north, Haihai in the south, and rivers in the south. Once unified, if we hold on to a few key points, we can attack calmly. This is the core of taking over the old land of Eastern Qi.
"Therefore, it is necessary and right to take Hebei, and it must be done quickly, early, or late. There will definitely be more heroes in Hebei who will stand up and fight with you... Whether they are rebels or You
There is no doubt about the officers and soldiers in the state and rivers."
Bai Yousi held his head and remained silent.
"But the difficulty is also obvious. Once you enter Hebei, you will be surrounded by plains. Youzhou and Jin are condescending, watching from both sides. Once the other party makes up its mind to act violently, it is likely to be driven back.
"Besides that, there is another big thing, that is, if we continue to expand in the future, especially to a fundamentally strategic place like Hebei, it is likely to touch the bottom line of the Grand Master, the Grand Master... Who
Do you know if you will be completely defeated by this?"
"So, Hebei is really difficult, and I really don't want to go to Hebei, but the situation is that if we don't go to Hebei, we basically can't win!"
Zhang Xing's words were sincere and his tone was sincere. Moreover, when facing Bai Yousi, he had no need to conceal or misrepresent anything.
However, after Bai Yousi listened quietly, he laughed on the spot: "Sanlang, what you said is very good and right, but I feel that this is not what you really think, at least not completely..."
Zhang Xing looked at the other party in surprise: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Bai Yousi said firmly. "Sometimes, people are so confused by things and truths that they end up believing it, and then they forget their original intention. But there may not be me as a meditator by the side.
See clearly."
"Then what does White Girl say I really think about?" Zhang Xing asked seriously. "What is my true intention?"
"Your true intention is that you, Zhang Sanlang, are going to Hebei no matter what. No one can stop you!" Bai Yousi was unhurried and spoke clearly, making the other party unable to hide.
Zhang Xing opened his mouth but did not refute.
"Going to Hebei is strategically right, and the difficulties are real, but there is no rush. Staying in the east, waiting for Jianghuai, and then heading north depending on the situation may be the most correct thing. And the reason why you insist on the Zheng Guo Canal is
Policy, saying that those leaders are doing it for public and private reasons, and saying that they are forced to go to Hebei as soon as possible. In fact, they are all right, but they are also vaguely lying to themselves... Because your original intention is to think that the East Territory
The development of the gang here is not what you expected, and the results of the rebellion over the past year are not to your liking."
Bai Yousi looked at the other person and talked eloquently, directly revealing the depths of his lover's heart.
"You look down upon the Eastern Territory, a gang that is full of compromises and perfunctory actions. You look down upon the people here in the Eastern Territory who do not distinguish between public and private affairs and are confusing the situation. You feel that your political strategy has not been fully implemented. You want to abandon these things.
According to your own wishes, start from scratch, starting from Hebei, with clear rewards and punishments, and strict rules. Like wildfire starting a prairie fire, create a new situation and establish a new, clean gang! The kind of gang in your heart!"
Zhang Xing stared at the other party blankly, still saying nothing.
"Without Li Shu's Zheng Guo Canal, you would go to Hebei! Everyone said that you should go to Jianghuai first, so you would go to Hebei! Because Hebei is separated from here by a big river, a natural separation. Li Shu wants to avoid you, but you don't bother to take it with you.
He! You just want to establish a new situation that is your own without being restricted!"
Bai Yousi continued to speak softly.
"As for Li Shu and the others' reaction at this time, whether intentional or not, it's more like they fell into your trap, and Zhang Shizhao is more like feeding you, because in this way, you can clearly tell that you are desperate.
The attitude of going to Hebei is shaped into the attitude that they are trying their best to send you there... You can use this situation to exchange for more conditions and benefits, bring more talents and materials, go north across the river, and walk
You have your own way...right, Saburo? You just don’t accept it!"
Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and then he spoke amidst the whistling of the autumn wind outside the wall: "Yes, I'm not convinced. I just want to rekindle the fire."
"Then what do you want me to do?" Bai Yousi's eyes were bright. "I know you didn't sincerely lie to me. In fact, you seemed to have lied to yourself... But now you realize what you really want to do.
What's going on? What do you want me to do? Saburo, I'm willing to help you open a new situation!"
"I hope you can defend Dengzhou." Zhang Xing gave the answer without hesitation. "If I lose and escape, you can catch me! If I am trapped in Hebei by some big situation, you
You can also organize the remaining strength to rescue me! Sisi...I'm a little greedy, I hope you will continue to be my heroine!"
Bai Yousi looked at the other person, waited for a while, and nodded:
"Okay, I'll come and grab this formation for you with my sword!"
