Zhang Xing returned to Sikou Pass, and when the ferry that picked him up sailed on the sparkling river under the winter moonlight, he had already realized something.
That was everything he Zhang Tou and Xiong Bonan encountered on this trip, everything he knew, and it was not an accident at all.
To put it bluntly, it was precisely because of the desire to move north that the gang started to make preparations. The movement on the Henan side could not be covered up, which triggered everything - Gao Shitong was afraid of the gang moving north, so he went further north first to seek a place to establish a foothold and peace.
Qian Tang was also afraid of helping the new foundation, so he must vigorously promote the military progress of the government and army.
It was inevitable that this battle in Hebei would take place before the time when the gang could calmly advance northward during the Great River Ice Age.
Zhang Xing even had reason to suspect that Zhuge Dewei's arrival was a deliberate act of some smart, self-righteous person, thinking that this would help some kind of hidden agent, or perhaps
He said that he had vaguely realized that the Hebei Rebels were no match for the troops of the Hejian Camp, but they were lucky enough to be held hostage and refused to look back, so they sought help in this way.
However, there is no need to take the last one seriously, because the human heart cannot take it seriously.
What we have to do now is to complete the preparations for dispatching troops at all costs. The various forces along the river cannot catch up, so they punch them and smash the troops that have been dispatched along the Hejian camp to pieces.
After crossing the river and returning to Sikou Pass, Zhang Xing summoned the leaders who were here overnight, namely Wei Xuanding, Chai Xiaohe, Bing Yuanzheng, Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Shang Huaizhi, Wang Xiongdan, Jia Runfu,
Leaders Yan Qing, Lu Hongyue, and Liu Zhouchen first reported the relevant military information, and then announced their decisions in public.
"We have to go to war. The officers and soldiers will enter the plains in three to five days. The gap between Ander, or simply fight on the south side of Pingyuan City. That is where the officers and soldiers of the Hejian camp are farthest apart and the troops are weak.
At that time, which is also the most suitable time to attack, we pounced directly from behind. They didn't even react." At this point, President Zhang took a breath and sighed. "Do you know what is the most rare thing? This army and horse are just like this.
It's just the troops of the Hejian Camp. It's better to cut off one of their ten fingers! If the Hejian Camp is hurt here, things will be easier to deal with later!"
"Are there any few soldiers?" Wei Xuanding, whose mind was buzzing, forced his thoughts to ask seriously. "The Hejian camp should be full of sixty or seventy thousand elites. It has consumed a lot in the past two years, but if they all come out in full force."
"Impossible!" Zhang Xing waved his hand in reply. "How can a warlord who wants to be king of the land not keep the people from his hometown? And there is no point in saying this. We will send a large number of scouts, and the ones from Hebei do not need to be controlled.
In addition, as long as the strength of this group is determined, we will not move for the time being if it is 20,000 or more, and we will attack if it is less than 20,000!
"When will we send troops? How many troops can we send in such a hurry?" At this time, only Wei Xuanding could continue to ask questions.
"Let's look at the reconnaissance. In any case, we will start building pontoon bridges tomorrow. The more the better, the soonest possible is to send out troops early the next day, and then pounce on them directly." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Move as many troops as you can!"
"That's a little more than 10,000 horses kept in the last three places of Jibei, Pingyin, and Luxian?" Wei Xuanding's face turned pale.
"No." Zhang Xing shook his head and responded slowly. "Here at Sikou Pass, we have already stocked up a considerable amount of supplies for sending out troops in winter. Therefore, the troops and horses within fifty miles, which is a little more than 10,000 troops and horses, bring
Come here calmly with weapons and weapons heavier than tomorrow. Horses from fifty miles to eight miles away can arrive in one day without heavy weapons and only with weapons. If you change your clothes here, you can cover the city and Liangshan Dazhai.
At the same time, let Zheng De and Fan Bao from Qijun downstream cross the river from the front as quickly as possible, gather with Pu's troops from Douzigang, and attack from the plain. There are more than 8,000 people.
.In other words, as long as we act quickly and well, 30,000 soldiers can pass by, and they will attack from both sides! Does anyone else have anything to ask?"
Wei Xuanding remained silent, and the surrounding leaders also shut up)
"Then I will give the order now. Yan Qing, please make a record. Everyone will listen to it together and make supplements before leaving."
In the hurried room with only one lamp lit, Zhang Xing's face looked dark.
He was dark, with only one pair of eyes shining. There were many people standing around him, except Yan Qing who hurriedly turned over the paper and pen, and then lay down under the oil lamp to prepare for recording.
"First, send out scouts immediately and send them in large numbers to ensure the core intelligence of this force that is detouring from the west of Pingyuan County. Wang Xiongdan, do it. Try to choose people from Hebei!"
"Here!" Wang Xiongdan immediately responded with his hands raised.
"Second, go now. With Sikou Pass as the core, along the official roads and canals, supply points are laid out on three sides. One is required five miles away. They must be able to cook, provide drinking water, provide fodder for livestock, and be able to respond
Tired stragglers still need to be able to make simple vehicles
The repairs can be spread as far as they can be spread, and how many can be built. After Bingliu did it himself, he mobilized the county soldiers overnight, and all the cities, towns and villages along the way needed to cooperate!"
"Yes!" Bing Yuanzheng bowed his head and said yes.
"Third, prepare the pontoon bridge materials and boats immediately. We will build the pontoon bridge at dawn tomorrow. We will keep building it. Just for crossing the river this time, we will keep building it even after crossing. How much can we build? Because we have to
Consider that we will need more floating bridges when the war is defeated! General Xiaolu, you are responsible for the affairs on the river, and you must immediately call General Dalu who is there to take charge!"
"I understand!" Hongyue also said yes, but couldn't help but swallowed.
“Fourth, as mentioned just now, order all the localities to issue military orders overnight to all surrounding towns and military villages within eighty miles, requiring all military troops to immediately gather at the four passes. Those nearby, those less than fifty miles away,
Arrive with ordnance and supplies before tomorrow, and the troops between fifty and eighty miles away, including most of Jibei County and Liangshan Dazhai, can throw away their excess weight and come lightly. They are still required to arrive before tomorrow night! Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan
, Shang Huaizhi, the three of you will be responsible for this matter!"
Jia Yue and Shang Huaizhi agreed together. Since the announcement of the march to Hebei, Xiao Zhou, who had been a little depressed, also cheered up. In any case, he was going to fight the imperial army.
"Fifth, Wei Gong will take a trip by himself, overnight, to Xia Qi County, which is directly opposite Pingyuan County and close to the scheduled battlefield. You can cross it one day later, but you must complete it in Hebei before noon on the day after tomorrow.
Assemble and use the camera to decide whether and when to join the war. We must try to contact us directly in Hebei. If Cheng Lang is half-hearted, you can directly command Fan Bao and Cheng Ming. These two people will not play tricks!
"Okay." Wei Xuanding's breathing became heavier.
"Sixth." Zhang Xing said while looking at Chai Xiaohe, the only big leader present. "After the people from Liangshan Dazhai arrive, they need to replenish their ordnance. The battle across the river also requires three to five supplies. The construction of the pontoon bridge requires the dispatch of some craftsmen and
The exchanges of ships and messengers need to be summarized. Chief Chai, you are still the General Logistics Officer. You are in charge here, and all parties are in charge of things. Logistics and civil affairs report to Chief Chai, and military affairs and military information are mine."
"Put the faucet down." He took a step forward and stood beside the light with a stern expression.
"Is there anything else you want to add?" Zhang Xing finished speaking in one breath, feeling a little out of breath.
"Of the leaders stationed everywhere, which one stays behind and which one follows the army?" Yan Qing, who had just finished writing, suddenly looked up. As a result, a piece of his hair was burned by the oil lamp, which gave off a burnt smell, but he only held it down with one hand, and neither did anyone else.
Pay attention.
"All are welcome! Everyone who can come will come! Let's talk about it when we get there!" Zhang Xing answered without hesitation. "Not only that, we also need to send an urgent message to the leaders who are not within ten miles, and we will set up a new post station and relay it to everyone.
The big bosses, the bosses, except those from Qijun, all those who can arrive before the morning of tomorrow will arrive! Since we want to fight, we must use all our strength to punch this punch!"
Yan responded immediately and continued writing.
Immediately, everyone added some details one after another and wanted to disperse)
But when the show was over, Zhou remembered something and asked in surprise: "Third brother, where is King Xiongtian? What is he responsible for?"
"King Xiongtian went to declare a challenge!" Zhang Xing's head was blank for a while, and he finally answered with a smile. "I will come back when I'm done!"
Everyone understood what was going on, but they couldn't ask any more questions, so they dispersed.
But as soon as the person left, Zhang Xing suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable fatigue everywhere in his body.
I felt a sense of guilt, but I ignored it and found two chairs in the room that was originally the ferry accounting office, and got down randomly.
Then fell asleep soundly.
Just when Zhang Xing was sleeping, Xiong Bonan had already arrived at a manor at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the plain. No matter how well-equipped the garden was, it couldn't compare to the formal city wall. King Xiong Tian was so accomplished that he easily jumped into it.
Then a groom was called.
There is no way, King Xiongtian is not from a criminal background, and has not received special infiltration training. More importantly, he is used to being high and low, and he really doesn't know how to do this kind of assassination. Therefore, even if he is very careful, but
It was still an extremely embarrassing situation. In fact, it was not until he fell down that Xiongbo Nanfang remembered that the groom had to feed and take care of the horses at night. It was unusual for him to hold a lamp here, and the groom was guarding the stables.
Light drowsiness is even more common, but it is too late.
And now, he also knows how to deal with this groom.
"You guys go away, I won't talk nonsense." At this moment, the groom who was awakened in the stable waved his hands repeatedly, and in turn waved his hands in the pile of wheat straw, shirtless, assuring him. "The watchman hasn't come yet, the guy is stealing something.
As long as people don't leave here again, they won't cause trouble for themselves."
Xiongtian was relieved for a moment, but he couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and ask: "Do you know where the village owner lives? It's a scull in the middle.
Underneath?"
There was obvious hesitation on the groom's skinny face, and then he nodded slightly.
Xiong Bonan breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, he would just avoid patrols and take the dark road. If he was careful, he could reach the tower and then talk about it.
As soon as he thought about it, he wanted to leave the stable again, but stopped again and asked out of curiosity: "The haystack is warm, but why are you doing it with your shirt off? Aren't you afraid of hurting someone?"
"If you are a good man, you only need one piece of clothing to wear during the day." The man was still looking carefully in the haystack.
Bonan laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed, and nodded, preparing to leave, but then he asked for the third time, in a much weirder tone, "What are you wearing around your neck?"
The groom who was lying there was startled when he heard the words, and then remained silent for a long time. Fang carefully touched the dark neck, and held an "ornament" in the shadow of the stable pillar, and then spoke carefully, but trembling slightly:
"If you're a good man, it's a finger. My mother-in-law."
Xiong Bonan hesitated.
His cultivation level was placed here. When he noticed it for a moment, he realized that it was a finger. At this time, after answering, he thought of many possibilities, especially in the past two years, which have been chaotic and chaotic, with many people dead, and everything about life, separation, and death.
Hard to say.
For example, the family was ruined while fleeing from famine, and there were rebels behind him. There was no time for burial, so a hand was cut off as a memorial; for example, on the occasion of separation, the princess and the prince-in-law reunited after biting their fingers and swearing an oath, or the poor family reunited after their severed fingers were broken.
Asking too many questions will only make people sad.
"How come?" King Xiongtian couldn't hold back after all.
"My mother-in-law is a servant in the inner courtyard. She was a thief and was beaten to death. Please use her finger as a warning and don't take it off.)" The groom said cautiously but as if he couldn't wait.
"What are you stealing? Xiong Bonan instinctively became irritated. He knew that many big families and even small families were very cruel to their private servants. It was not uncommon to beat or maim people to death, but he still felt disgusted because there was no need for his husband to wear a finger as a warning.
, so he immediately thought that the other party's wife might have stolen something valuable, which aroused the anger of the relevant people.
"The stolen food" the groom couldn't help but clenched his fingers and came out. "It's the leftovers of the guests. According to the rules, you can't take them out of the inner courtyard. She hid a piece of cake for me. According to the rules, I have to beat her to death. I have to give it to her."
I put my finger on my finger and said that someone stole something from my house and I was not allowed to live in the house as a good man. This world is not right and the rules are not right. It shouldn't be like this."
Xiong Bonan only felt his head twitch. In an instant, this matter actually corroborated the rumors about Gao Shizhan's man. He only had one kind of wonder, it turned out to be such a feeling. It was unbelievable that there were rumors in the world that Gao Shizhan was a cannibal.
scourge!
This is like cannibalism
What's the difference? It wouldn't seem strange to even eat people one day.
Xiong Bonan sighed, turned around this time, and asked the last question: "Has Gao Shizhan always been so cruel? In what age did he become like this?"
"The new rules were set last year." The groom bowed his head in response. Xiong Bonan was completely stunned.
Just for a moment, he instinctively thought of Zhang Jinsheng, who had just risen up and started killing people randomly. He thought of the panicked pedestrians he met on the road yesterday who shouted that the Hejian Army was coming. He thought of the empty plains of Pingyuan County and Zhang Jinsheng.
When I told those people about the very disgusting rules in the East, the Hebei people's reactions reminded me of many things.
The groom's answer also tested some of his thoughts and gave him a little fear)
That is to say, Gao Shizhan is definitely not a demon king and monster, and he and the people he helped are not born heroes. If Shizhan went to the East two years ago, if he or someone had stayed in this ghost place without any rules and restrictions,
There is no slogan to say, and there is no well-organized gang to take care of everyone. In fact, it is very likely that I and the brothers in the gang will fall into this kind of people.
Of course, now that we're at this point, it's useless to think too much about it.
Without saying anything more or leaving any words, King Xiongtian walked out of the stable and hid himself in the darkness of the howling north wind.
This time, he was very careful. He didn't step on the roof or jump around casually. Instead, he carefully avoided the patrols. Every time he made any noise, he always took advantage of the wind. In this way, Xiongnan soon found his feet on the ground.
After touching the oar, he didn't jump up, but climbed up obediently, and caught two people alive on it. They were just two Zhengmai cultivators, and he killed one of them to seek death.
The other one came to ask seriously. He asked about the layout of the hospital and saw it clearly from above. Only the limbs of the last person were broken, his mouth was choked, and he finally went down carefully.
The inner courtyard was brightly lit, but most of the servants had gone to sleep. Although there were a few more people patrolling, the interesting thing was that they were limited to a few places on the outer floor, and there were not many people near the bedroom pointed above.
Bonan saw the right moment, quickly turned over, entered the innermost layer, and then found the bedroom.
The bedroom is magnificent, with a bed as big as a single bedroom. There is a man in the middle, accompanied by three concubines. Outside, there are four or five maids squatting at the door, guarding the incense burner and the teapot, not daring to close their eyes for a moment.
King Xiongtian had no choice but to wait outside for a while. A maid came out and followed him directly to the toilet. After asking about the person and confirming that it was Gao Shizhan, she slapped him and then came straight back.
Once, he no longer cared about unnecessary things, but used his true energy to rush directly to the bed, grabbed the only man on the bed, and broke an arm on the spot.
The screams broke through the winter night.
Either the concubine on the bed escaped or the maid outside was frightened and fled, or the entire manor seemed to have come to life.
But Xiong Bonan didn't panic at all, he just dragged the person under the bed and calmly turned on the lights outside. After a closer look, he vaguely saw that it was Shi Zan who he met four or five years ago, but he continued to break up while the other person was still dazed.
Broken second arm.
Gao Shizhan's eyes were filled with painful tears and snot, and he was kicking the ground and struggling and crying: "Hero, spare your life, I will give you whatever you want!"
"Is it Gao Shizhan?" Xiong Bonan asked, and broke off one of the opponent's ankles.
"Yes, yes. Yes!" Gao Shizhan agreed while trying his best to get on the last foot.
Xiong Bonan was not used to the other party, so he broke off the other party's last leg with his bare hands, and then asked: "I remember that you were already a master of the three meridians four or five years ago. Why are you not concentrating now?"
Dan?”
"The two channels are blocked." Gao Shizhan replied, and at the same time he came to his senses. He reluctantly forced himself to take a look. "The hero is a friend from the Hebei road? Was it Zhuge Yang who invited him here? How much money did he spend? I'm very worried.
With the good guys!”
"God has eyes." Xiong Nan sighed and ignored the other party at all. "Let you fall into my hands, Xiong Bonan."
When Gao Shizhan heard this, his face turned pale, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Xiongtian! I know what you are doing.
Why have I always been loyal to the rebels? It’s just that Gao Shitong is too useless and not worth it. If help comes, I am willing to join my whole family! Do you know? Leling has five thousand soldiers hidden."
"I'm just afraid that you'll vote for us!" Xiong Bo Nandu sighed, and just dragged the opponent's heels out of the house, like dragging a cloth bag.
But this person cried and begged for mercy along the way, threatening and tempting him, but King Xiongtian just ignored him.
When we came to the courtyard outside, we were already surrounded by countless servants and twenty or thirty powerful guards.
A guard who didn't open his eyes listened to the cry and promise of the master on the ground, and tried his best to gather his energy to rush towards him, but saw a purple light burst out from the opponent's body, and the spear pressed against the body's energy as if it were a piece of iron.
Later, the person who took out the spear was thrown to the roof, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
It's not like there are people in the courtyard who know the truth. Word of the purple-faced king and the leader of the gang spread immediately. The reputation that the king once had in Hebei Province has now taken effect. The surrounding lights are bright, and there are constant shouts from outside, but no one dares to come forward.
In addition, several servant men who got up hastily arrived soon, and they seemed to be members of Gao Shizhan's clan. They were all trying to maintain order, but they were not allowed to come forward to help, so the scene actually froze.
Xiong Bonan knew most of the people here's thoughts, but was too lazy to speak. In front of someone, he first grabbed one of Gao Shizhan's hands, like grabbing a carrot, broke off all five of Gao Shizhan's fingers, then took out his sword and chopped off each one.
By this time, Gao Shizhan was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak properly. People outside were also dumbfounded, but without delay, Xiongbo Nanfu changed his hand and did it again, and then he did it again with both feet.
)
All ten fingers and ten toes were removed and scattered in front of him like candy canes. At this time, Gao Shizhan was already roaring in pain, like a wild beast.
King Xiongtian just felt bored. After thinking for a while, he stepped on the opponent's chest and broke off an unknown number of sternums. Then he used his Qi with both hands, holding one leg with one hand and inserting the other hand into the sternum, lifting the person up.
Lifting it up, with just one move, pinching, and then pulling hard, he tore the well-known powerful men from several counties to pieces. The body was broken into two pieces, the internal organs were spilled on the ground, and there was a rain of blood in front of him.
.
Strange to say, there was still a commotion outside, but here in the inner courtyard, as Xiong Bonan stretched out his hand and tore it apart, it was like pressing a silence button, and the whole world became quiet, except for the constant sound of the wind.
However, Xiong Bonan killed someone, and when he threw the body down, his body-protecting energy spread over his head, and the filth in front of him rolled away, and he wanted to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he recalled Zhang Xing's instructions, so he took out the note from his arms, reached out and picked up a torch and looked at it, but he shook his head and sighed in public, then turned back and picked up Gao Shizhan's hand from the ground.
After taking off his clothes, he dipped them in meat sauce and walked towards the wall of the inner courtyard in front.
Countless men and women in front of them just covered their mouths and ran away to make way for a clearing, not even daring to make a sound.
The purple-faced king came to him and picked up tattered clothes on the wall.
He wrote on the note in his hand and said, although the King of Heaven is literate,
I was not good at it, so I went back and forth seven or eight times and read it five or six times before I wrote down this line and the signature while many people were anxiously waiting.
It turned out that it was just a short poem: red wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
The signature is: help everyone come to see you.
After finishing writing, Xiong Bonan jumped up, and a purple light flew out. The people below looked at the night sky for a long time, then looked at a few lines of words, and then looked at the meat paste on the ground. It took a long time for the sound to come out, but there were already countless Gao family members.
The clan members fought over each other, took over the inner courtyard, strengthened the defense, and sent people to report to the two county princes, the Zhonglang general in Leling, and the Hejian camp behind him.
Not to mention other places, just say that in the afternoon of the same day, the news reached Ande, Pingyuan County. The county prince Qian Tang was appeasing the officials from Changhe. When he was worried, he suddenly heard the news. After hearing the details, he was even more shocked.
For a moment, he thought about many possibilities, and even felt a strong sense of fear that if he went to Zhangjiang tonight, he would attack the city.
Of course, Qian Tang was very sure that this possibility did not exist, because it was already in the afternoon. Not to mention that there was no warning before arriving at Douzigang at this time, but the army had already changed the situation.
Hidden among Gao Shitong's subordinates, it was impossible for the army that had already approached Leling to set up camp to turn around and reach Ande.
After a long while, Qian just forcibly evicted everyone and sat there thinking about various possibilities.
But unfortunately, under the condition that he only knew that Xiong Bonan personally killed Gao Shizhan and signed a rumor that was obviously Zhang Xing's style, County Sheriff Qian found that he was unable to do any effective information expansion.
Even when he tried to write a few letters, asking all parties to be cautious and pay attention to possible military attacks, he immediately rejected it, because this seemed to be the real purpose of Zhang Xing's move, or the most likely one.
that purpose.
Yes, reason told Qian Tang that the real purpose of Zhang Sanlang's move was probably that after coming to conduct reconnaissance the day before yesterday, he arrived at Gao Shijun's army last night. After realizing the possible danger, he used this method to frighten all forces.
This aroused the suspicion of all parties in the government and army, and bought time for Zhang Xing to seize the military power of Gao Shitong and then lead the rebels to retreat to a safe area.
Of course, this is also a speculation without evidence, but if that is the case, my reminder will appear to be playing into Zhang Sanlang's hands.
Anxiety and restlessness haunted Qian Tang, and he realized that most of
Danger, but I don’t know where the danger is and I don’t know how to deal with it. Under the huge pressure, I almost fall into a panic.
He invited Feng Wuyi, the saint's confidant in the city.
At this time, he needs someone more reliable to analyze for him.
However, when Feng Yi arrived at the county government, he asked a little, but turned his attention to another place: "Why do you write this sentence about killing people? Although the road was bleak when I came here, I didn't see any frozen bones?"
Qian Tang was stunned for a moment, and only recounted what he saw and heard, as well as what Zhang Shiyu, the previous governor of Bohai, said one by one. He also told him bluntly that there were no dead bodies on both sides of the official road because he had specially collected them.
Feng Wuyi was stunned for a while and then asked seriously: "Has Hebei reached this point?"
Qian Tang nodded again and again, and recounted one by one the incidents that had occurred in the past two years in the north, including the three expeditions against the Eastern Barbarians, the swarms of rebels, the raids by the government and the army, as well as the deprivation of life for the people caught in the situation, and the sense of powerlessness caused by the hasty appointment.
After listening to this, Feng Wuyi was speechless for a long time, and then shook his head after a long time: "I have been in front of the emperor for a long time, and the governor-general died without any problems. This time, friends gave gifts along the way when I came back. It's not that I didn't know that there was chaos down there.
But I never imagined that the chaos below would be like this. The rebels were killing indiscriminately.
The people, the officers and soldiers also slaughtered the villages, the powerful people only thought that they were the local emperors, and the counties and counties could not give orders out of the city, but it was even more chaotic than when the Eastern Qi was destroyed! Da Wei has already reached this point? "
"Dong Qi is falling apart, it is falling apart." Qian Tang sighed helplessly, and even consciously used some inappropriate sources. "Please don't be emotional for the time being, Mr. Feng, and just teach me what to do now."
"That's it. Sheriff Qian just fulfills his duties and leaves to fate." Feng Yi frowned and replied. "Because you can't trust anyone, and people may not listen to your suggestions. You may be wrong no matter what you guess."
It’s best to stay within yourself, act according to the opportunity, and do it with a clear conscience.”
After Qian Tang listened, it was his turn to be speechless for a long time, but he could not argue.
However, what Qian Tang didn't know was that Zhang Xing didn't care if he could do something, because it was too late. Even if Qian Tang accurately predicted every step, he would not have time to react correctly.
After another night, the next morning, when the sky was bright and under the early morning mist, a red-bottomed "deposed" flag had been erected at Sikou Pass, and the neatly dressed Zhang Sanlang began to personally supervise the generals under the banner.
.
The person who called out his name was his confidant Yan Qing.
"Single Hai."
"exist."
"Fu Bo Stone."
"exist."
"Xu Shiying."
"exist."
"Wang Shuyong)"
"exist"
"Niuda."
"exist."
"There were supposed to be eleven leaders
, actually number thirty." As soon as the roll call was over, before the list was placed in front of him, Zhang Xing, who was listening carefully, responded. "The incident happened suddenly. I am very satisfied that you can obey the military order and cooperate as much as possible.
There were supposed to be 23,000 soldiers, but in fact only 19,000 soldiers arrived. On the contrary, local troops arrived at 4 or 5. I have nothing to say, it was just expected."
The atmosphere below was a little relieved. To put it bluntly, the incident happened suddenly and it was necessary to cross the river in a hurry. In addition, there have been many unclear rumors recently. Everyone was worried that Zhang Dalongtou, who was about to move north, would take the opportunity to kill Li, so don't say anything.
The leaders of the troops within a radius of ten miles have arrived, and even the leaders of surrounding counties have also arrived on flying horses.
Even Wu Jingfeng and Xu Ren from Lu County in Jiyin arrived, and Xu Shiying also came directly on horseback.
"Then let's not delay." Zhang Xing continued. "Reports from the other side of the river confirmed that there were only 10,000 soldiers walking to the west, and as I guessed, there were looting and harassment along the way and the march was slow. Let's cross the river.
, marching in one day and resting overnight, we can get ahead of him, and then stop them face to face in the middle of Pingcheng and Ande City, and fight them head-on. This is a God-given opportunity! Last question, does anyone have any words? "
Shan Tonghai immediately called out: "Zhang Longtou, we have been building the pontoon bridge all day, but the officers and soldiers on the other side didn't notice it? Can the sentry sent to stop it?"
"If you are aware of it, you can stop it." Zhang Xing replied seriously) "And it doesn't matter even if he didn't stop him, because according to the reports of Wang Xiongdan and Guo Jingke who crossed the river respectively the day before yesterday and yesterday, they captured the officer.
The soldiers all go to Wuyang County to govern Guixiang."
Shan Tonghai was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why the gang wanted to go to the plains to fight, while the government and army spies went to Wuyang County further west for exchange.
Not to mention him, the other leaders in the crowded Sikou Pass Ferry Open Ground were basically in a daze for a long time, and then they woke up after being reminded by some former officials.
It turned out that Kouguan and the other side of the river were actually the territory of Wuyang County. They almost forgot about it.
"If the news really comes out, I plan to pass through Chiping from Qinghe County after crossing the river, but we will still try to delay it as much as possible." Zhang Xingyi said. "But it doesn't matter, the Hejian Camp and the local area are not under the same jurisdiction.
Moreover, we were rushing to launch a surprise attack and would not give them any time at all. I have calculated that Qinghe has revealed his intention and the message has been properly conveyed. But when Cao Shancheng, the governor of Qinghe County, wakes up and goes to see the Hejian official in person
The military leaders should at most leave them a night. In a six-point battle, if the officers and soldiers can gather their troops in the middle of the night, or go into the city to escape, then it is really because our skills are inferior to others. We turn around and occupy Gao Shitong's back.
Those counties are just doing defense."
Shan Tonghai thought for a while and bowed his head.
In fact, Shan Tonghai was convinced after hearing that the troops from the other side were heading to Wuyang County to rendezvous, but he was just too embarrassed to withdraw.
"There is something." At this moment, Shiying turned serious and asked. "Longtou, do all the thirty-seven leaders here want to cross the river? Who will cross the river? Who will not? Please let Longtou make it clear."
The others also pricked up their ears.
"Let me make it clear first that today's battle was started in a hurry, and the troops and horses were not even ready. Those who cross the river today may not be those who stay in Hebei in the future, and those who go today may go there in the future even if they have no choice." Zhang Xing naturally knew that some people were there.
No matter what you care about, leave some room first. "As for today, only those who came with the troops can follow me across the river, and we will discuss the rest. Yan Qing, read it again!"
Yan Qing immediately held the roster and announced in a loud voice: "According to the military order of Longtou, I will repeat the list of leaders crossing the river. Those who hear their names will cross the river with Longtou. The rest will only follow the leader of Chai to assist with logistics and wait for Li.
Let's discuss it later. Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, Fu Boshi, Da, Zhai Qian, Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Shang Huaizhi, Jia Runfu, Yan Qing, Xu Kaitong, Xia Ningyuan, Zheng Ting. Others have already crossed the river as sentinels.
King Xiongtian, Wang Xiongdan, Guo Jing, Lu Yue, who was in charge of the garrison, and Lu Mingyue, who was in charge of retreating. Lu Mingyue was a total of eighteen leaders. From the bottom, they directly crossed the river. Chief Wei, Zheng Liuhou, Fan Bao, and Cheng Zhili, who was already in Douzi.
, Cheng Ming, Fang Yan, fourteen in total."
At this point, I walked past the slightly rolled up list in the morning breeze.
, raised his head and glanced: "Actually, most of them are the leaders who were originally going north, otherwise they wouldn't be leading the troops nearby. Let's not talk about this for now, among the eighteen here, are there any who are not willing to go?"
Naturally there is no sound.
But soon, when Zhang was about to settle the case, a man came out and bowed his head: "Mr. Zhang, I have never repaid you for the great favor I received from the gang. But since today is just a battle, I am willing to accompany the army, holding my bow and sword.
Be a bodyguard for Duke Zhang."
Zhang Xing looked up and saw that it was Xu Shiren, the hero of Lu County who had just arrived last night and met him for the first time today. He immediately nodded: "In that case, Chief Xu, please help me guard him for ten days, and it won't be too late to return to the county."
When Wu Jingfeng saw this, he quickly evaded: "Junior sister is far away in Dengzhou, Erlang and I will guard Zhang Sanlang for her for a few days)"
"If Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang go, they will definitely win this time." Zhang Xing still nodded.
Xu Shiying also responded: "Leader, it is impossible for the army to attack Dongjun in a short time. The general will ask the army to be a swordsman." Zhang Xing also nodded.
Without him, Zhang Dalongtou would like to expend two years of skill with this punch, how could he refuse?
However, it was these three Chengdan masters and Xu Shiying. If the others asked for it, Zhang Xing would directly deny it. Now that the generals were appointed, the whole army began to have a meal and prepare for crossing the river.
I just picked up the bowl, and then someone jumped up and asked to see him.
The person who came here was Lu Changheng. After being captured that day, he was appointed to a higher rank. He is now serving as a county lieutenant in Ji County to maintain law and order. This recruitment of troops came because they were close to each other.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xing still had some concerns about this old team.
"I have some ambition and don't want to waste it on Fang Zhi'an. Lu Changheng bowed his head and said, "Please give me a chance to remember the old relationship."
"Yes." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and answered immediately. "The whole army will cross the river soon. You will be the last to cross. After crossing the river, go to Pingyuan Ande City alone to see Qian Tang and persuade him to surrender."
"What if he doesn't surrender?" Lu Changheng replied.
And Zhang Xing also continued to give instructions: "If he doesn't surrender, tell him that I am going to fight the Hejian soldiers and persuade him to go out of the city to stop the army!"
"But what if he doesn't leave the city?" Lu Changheng was sweating profusely and continued to ask.
"Over there, advise him to wait for reinforcements, and then wait for our army to besiege the city. Then come out at night, inform him of his sleeping location, lead more than ten alchemy masters in, and deal with him." Zhang Xingjiu had already prepared a plan.
Lu Changheng didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.
He had already seen it, and had also thought that as long as Zhang Xing crossed properly, marched quickly, and successfully attacked the soldiers and horses in the river, it didn't matter what happened to him and Qian Tang. This was a test of his loyalty.
He even ran away because he was afraid that the old boss in front of him wouldn't care anymore.
Thinking about it, the current gang is short of talents. If one day it sweeps across Hebei, I'm afraid that masters and great masters will appear.
A small incident, not worth mentioning. After dinner, Zhang Xing asked people to raise a flag with the word "deposed" on a red background, set up a horse on the embankment, and then led the leaders to supervise the crossing of the river, plus 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and four people.
Only 20,000 people were killed in Guan in one day and night. They all wore winter clothes, ear protection, and thick winter shoes. The Lu brothers also put together the boats on the river early, supplemented by wood, planks, ropes, and iron, and built a foot-long
There are seven or eight pontoon bridges. The army is crossing the river like a shuttle. If the sun is not rising slightly, then less than half of it has passed.
At this time, Xu Shiying, who was standing solemnly under the banner, came to remind Zhang Xing: "Third brother, it's almost done."
Zhang Xing didn't show any pretense, he stood up directly and wanted to cross the river with his troops.
When Zhi arrived at the bridge in front of the pontoon, someone suddenly called from a distance behind him, asking everyone to stop and pick him up. Just then, Li Shu also hurriedly stepped up and was about to arrive. Chai Xiaohe gave way and waited for Li Shu to see him off.
deliver.
Zhang Xing thought for a while and decided to wait, letting Jia Yue lead his troops to cross first. Jia Yue was unwilling to go first because the Chinese army wanted to follow the general, so he replaced him with Zhai Qian and led his troops to cross first.
Sure enough, within a moment, Li Shu, who was almost exhausted and covered in water, appeared under the river embankment, and then came from a distance.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Zhang Sanlang, I'm late. Since you are heading north in a hurry, I must come to see you off."
Zhang Xing smiled and didn't care at all. He even suspected that the other party came nearby early at night and took advantage of the time to hide his true energy.
But as the two held hands on the river embankment, Zhang Xingran turned his head and saw the river rushing eastward under the sun. He thought of the past on the embankment downstream and what Xiong Bonan said on the other side, but his heart moved for a moment.
After pausing for a moment, Xing Fang turned around and spoke sincerely in front of everyone's attention: "Li, look at the turbulent waves of this big river. It's already difficult for a mortal to stand in it, let alone fly across it? And since we work together and make an oath,
We should work hard to maintain our talents. Now I am going to the north of the river, and Li Gong is camped to the south of the river. Why not fly together and try to accomplish a great cause together."
Li Shu and the people around him were obviously startled, especially Li Shu who was holding the other person's hand. For some reason, he always felt that the other person's words came from the bottom of his heart.)
And if this is the case, the mind of the person in front of me is really amazing.
Looking back on my previous thoughts and actions, I realized that I was blinded by lust for power and selfishness, lost my care, and lost my heart.
For just such a moment, he almost wanted to bow down and agree sincerely.
But then I thought about it, although the world is big, there is no room for the talents of two emperors. Even if this person has such a broad mind, it is just a temporary idea, which is not enough to last a lifetime.
However, precisely because he came to his senses, Li Shu stopped thinking and bowed down and said yes on the spot, almost crying. Zhang Xing did not care about unnecessary things and also bowed down and bowed down.
At this point, the two of them bowed to each other on the embankment, and then each had their own thoughts. One stayed there while the other led the horse and turned around to go down the embankment and onto the pontoon bridge.
After a moment, the red flag with the word "Deposed" had moved to the other side.
Seeing this shape, many people on this side of the river sighed like Li Shu, but on the other side of the river, many people looked at the rising sun in the east like Zhang Xing, and then immediately headed eastward.
So-called:
"The old man who was attacked was crazy and crazy. He wanted to laugh when he came to the river in the morning. Others did not hesitate to stop him with his wife, but he had no way to cross the river. The tiger could fight, but the river was difficult to rely on. The male fruit drowned in the sea?
There is a true dragon with white teeth as white as a snow-capped mountain. It is male and female, and it should be danced with a sword."
