As soon as Zhang Xing got up, there were many people outside the door. When they went to the public corridor to have breakfast, there were even more people around. Fortunately, Xiong Bonan and Chen Bin were used to getting up early, so they took a group of people to eat first. Wei Xuanding
Xu Shiying and I haven't come here yet, otherwise I don't know what the fuss would be like.
There was nothing much to say about breakfast. There were two Li Longtou on the left and right, one was thoughtful and the other was thoughtful. They were sandwiched between them, making it difficult for the others to pass on words.
So Chief Zhang didn't know what he was thinking of, but he looked like he was thinking about life anyway.
However, the corridor is still very lively, because the two people outside, one Dou Lide and the other Shan Tonghai, are in a different state... People around them chat and joke with them easily, and they all accept it, and then these two themselves should be serious
Sometimes he is serious, and when he should be kind, he is kind, sometimes he frowns and criticizes, sometimes he makes a few jokes, which makes the atmosphere in the corridor lively.
But this further highlights the desertedness of the middle three.
Naturally, people around him would also be murmuring... Here, it is best to guess what Li Shu is thinking, what Li Ding is thinking can probably be guessed, but no one knows what Chief Zhang is thinking.
After breakfast, Li Shu got up and left first. Jia Runshi followed directly behind. Cui, the second roommate, wanted to get up, but because he was far away and there were so many people around, he had no time to follow. After leaning for a moment, Zhang Xing and Li
Ding also got up after dinner. Li Ding went to look for his subordinates, but Zhang Xing came straight to ask: "Which one is Han Erlang, and which one is Huang Dalang (Huang Tuen Chief)? Are they all here?"
Everyone immediately started shouting, but found that these two people were obviously newcomers and did not know the rules of eating on the porch at all, so they did not come to eat together.
Then someone shouted.
Zhang Xing was not in a hurry, so he stood up and gave up his seat. He sat in a public room with a large door next to him and waited. In addition to Qin Er, Dou Lide, Shan Tonghai and others also came in, and several people sat down.
After a moment, Han Erlang and Huang Dalang were called over in a hurry, and Zhang Xing stood up to greet them.
As a result, at this moment, Chen Bin, Xie Minghe, and Cui Suchen suddenly came out of the thorns and shouted from a distance: "Chief, do you have any time? We have something to ask you."
These three are the real top leaders and backbones of the gang. Zhang Xing had no choice but to stand up and greet Han Erlang: "Have you eaten? If not, eat first. If you have eaten, we will go together."
After saying that, he went to Chen Bin.
Han Erlang did not dare to neglect and immediately turned around. Dou Lide and Shan Tonghai looked at each other and left with their expressions as normal.
"Chief, is Li Shu dead or alive?" He turned to the courtyard where Chen Bin was staying. Regardless of the fact that there were four or five leaders following him, the owner of the place immediately frowned and asked.
It's funny to say that after such a sensitive question was asked, most people didn't change their expressions. Even Han Erlang didn't change his expression, he just stared at Zhang Xing.
In fact, the only ones who were obviously stunned were Huang Dalang and Chief Zhang himself.
Zhang Xing paused, then laughed: "I thought you were going to ask about the Jiangdu mutiny."
At this time, many people were stunned. Although they knew the news, they really didn't expect it to be the most important one.
"Jiangdu is the most troublesome and serious matter, and it is the next biggest military matter. But when fighting against foreigners, you must first settle the internal affairs. If you don't deal with Li Shu, you can't arrange personnel at all. If you don't arrange personnel, you can't reward and punish. Then arrange
Make arrangements to deal with Jiangdu." Chen Bin's logic was clear.
Zhang Xing nodded and confessed frankly: "I don't think Li Shu's life or death matters in this matter. I can just leave it to the leaders to discuss for themselves at the afternoon meeting. Even the outcome in the future is up to him..."
These words are true. It doesn't matter whether Li Shu lives or dies, whether he is kicked out or demoted and left idle, and whether he commits suicide or escapes.
Zhang Xing was mentally prepared for every outcome.
Several people in the hospital were stunned for a moment. Without waiting for them to think about it, Zhang Xingye continued to give the key: "The reason why I went there was for the sake of our gang's face, so that the rules within the gang would not be broken, and even more so that these people would go there."
The matter is only limited to him, and he is not allowed to involve other brothers... Since you asked, I will say it bluntly, today we should also take this as the standard, and should not involve more."
Chen Bin and others were stunned.
Among them, Dou Lide and Shan Tonghai's expressions remained unchanged, but they couldn't help but look at each other again... Without him, these two people simply bumped into each other in the morning, and there was no time to test them. But now they suddenly realized that the other party was the same as themselves.
We’re here to get people!
In fact, the reason is very simple.
First of all, everyone can see clearly that within three or four years, after being squeezed layer by layer by Chief Zhang using almost kingly methods over and over again, Li Shu finally could not withstand the pressure and did that kind of thing.
...It's really the king's way. Arranging Zhang Shizhao to be a spy is nothing at all... From the perspective of the power struggle, Chief Zhang has now won. Including him hurried to Xuzhou and brought the person back.
Indeed, he achieved what he had intended before, which was to prevent bloodshed from happening, so as not to break the rules of the gang, and thus maintained the dignity and order of the gang.
But even so, everyone is still concerned about Li Shu's life, death and outcome, but it is because of Zhang Xing's words... Will this matter affect other people in Jiyinxingtai and even Henan?
Shan Tonghai, as the actual internal leader of Jiyin Xingtai, of course wants to protect those people and win over them; as for Dou Lide, he should have nothing to do with these people, but he is almost the worst person below Zhang Xing.
The one who is good at uniting people, he just wants to reach out to people when he sees them, and he does have the channels to reach out. Several of Li Shu's basic pillars are actually from Qinghe, including some other Hebei aristocratic families... These Hebei aristocratic families were previously with
Dou Lide's middle- and lower-class mud-legged rebels have nothing to do with each other, and are even hostile, but now they have the conditions to merge in the gang environment.
"This matter needs to be discussed." After Chen Bin understood what Zhang Xing meant, he clearly expressed his different opinions after pondering for a moment. "In this matter, some people are indeed innocent, but some people have really made mistakes.
Yes, it should have been dealt with."
"What about?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"Brothers Fang and Cui Silang are Li Shu's privates, and so is Du Caigan..." Chen Bin said without politeness. "What's the use of keeping these people?"
"There is no personal identity in the gang. I just joined the gang because of personal relationships. But everyone has their own responsibilities, and they can all raise their hands in meetings like this in the afternoon... If you can do this, you can't criticize others just because they are often together."
It's private." Zhang Xing reminded seriously.
"Is there no selfish thoughts in this world?" Xie Minghe suddenly interrupted.
"It depends on whether it leads to chaos." Zhang Xing replied sternly. "If it leads to a big chaos, even if it is agreed by the majority of people, it must be reviewed and the leader must also be responsible; if it does not lead to a big chaos
Chaos depends on who directly commits the mistake. You can't criticize the mind, because once the mind is punished, how can you set the boundaries... Now we say that Du Caigan is the same, but why? If Du Caigan is the one, then what about the leader Chai Da?
?Where's Bing Yuanzheng? Zhang Jinshu and Zhang Liang also went there, talking about deeds but not heart, do they count?"
Chen Bin and Xie Minghe were both silent for a moment, and the atmosphere around them was a little tense.
Han Erlang and Huang Dalang came to this kind of occasion for the first time. Seeing this kind of discussion, they were a little dizzy. They just felt that this was right and that was right. In addition, they didn't have many connections at all, so they didn't know much about some things.
He was completely confused, and even more uneasy when he saw that he was stiff for a moment.
However, the others knew better what Zhang Xing meant.
Before leaving, the chief said he was worried that Li Shu would be slaughtered in Xuzhou, so everyone thought that outside they were of course the Huaiyou Alliance, the Internal Shijun, and the Zhishi Army, who were half allies, half vassals, and half outsiders, and inside they were Zhang Jinshu and
Individuals like Zhang Liang.
However, although Zhang Xing had just returned to Hebei and there was no trouble in Xuzhou, some rumors still came back through some channels... It is said that the few people who really showed signs of taking action at that time were naturally Du Po Zhen and Wang Zhuo.
And Wang Hou, there was actually Chai Xiaohe in the lead, accompanied by Bing Yuanzheng, Zhang Jinshu, and Zhang Liang!
Zhang Jinshu and Zhang Liang were Zhang Xing's supervisory pawns left in Henan in the name of the Ministry of Military Justice, and they did this. However, Chai Xiaohe and Bing Yuanzheng, two people who were originally recognized as Li Shu's old friends, are still very scary... Only
If I think about it carefully, Chai Xiaohe is a serious leader, and his status is there, and Bing Yuanzheng was the only native of the East in that group at that time. It is not without reason... but it still makes people feel scared.
"No one knows this matter better than me." Shan Tonghai opened his mouth and broke the silence at the right time. "At that time, several of our leaders who crossed the river were there, and Liu Heifu was also there. The matter of going to Xuzhou was because Li Shu had his own way. If you don't believe it, you can
Ask them one by one."
"The rest of the people are the ones being held hostage by him." Dou Lide followed immediately. "Even if we are running to save him now, we are still thinking of our old friendship."
"Chief, I don't disagree with your strategy, but things are urgent. As soon as Bai Hengqiu left, the Jiangdu Forbidden Army will arrive soon, which can be said to be a formidable enemy." After Chen Bin paused, he had no choice but to continue to persuade. "You
Have you ever thought about it, if we relax a little now, will it cause some people to disregard military discipline and help regulations, and then cause the same disaster as Li Shu did this time during the war? As for those people in the south, although they are the opposite this time
Li Shu also has a rebellious mentality, which cannot be said to be the same as ours."
"If you say that, we should be strict." Dou Lide was not afraid of Chen Bin and directly answered the question. "Would it make some members of the family who were originally innocent become afraid? For example, Yang Defang, Fan Dingxing, and Zheng Detao.
Several civil servants who have been working hard in the southeast of the Eastern Border did not go to Xuzhou at all this time, but they provided food and fodder as required, and they were still Li Shu's old subordinates... So what if everyone is in fear and is in danger? They are better than us.
It’s early for everyone to join the gang.”
"What does Chief Dou mean?" Chen Bin asked bluntly. "How should we deal with it? Is there a plan?"
"I have the same idea as the chief, that is, after the war, the priority should be to appease people's hearts!" Dou Lide expressed his position without hesitation. "Only deal with Li Shu."
"Did what I just said be in vain?" Chen Bin was speechless. "What does it mean after the war? This is the gap between the wars! The Jiangdu Forbidden Army is coming soon! What should we do?"
"Is there any definite news about the Jiangdu Forbidden Army?" Shan Tonghai became serious and asked a question that many people wanted to ask.
"Since the Jiangdu Forbidden Army rebelled and killed the Hunjun, they must go north and return to the Eastern Capital... Returning to the Eastern Capital means an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, three or four Grandmasters, ten or twenty Cheng Dan, and dozens of Condensation Dan.
We have to pass through our territory in the east... By then, core areas like Jiyin and Dongjun may be attacked." Xie Minghe immediately explained. "And Liangjun and Xingyang, where Luokou Cang is located, are almost bound to be attacked.
Sweep.”
Shan Tonghai, who looked a little ugly, immediately looked at Zhang Xing: "Chief, is this really the case?"
"Nine times out of ten." Zhang Xing responded calmly.
Under the shadow of the trees in the courtyard, there was a moment of commotion. It was not that I had not expected this, but that I was in Hebei and felt a bit far away, and after all, a tragic war had just ended.
After a while, the commotion calmed down, and Dou Lide spoke again, but he insisted on his opinion: "If this is the case, it is better to appease people's hearts. Otherwise, everyone will not be in danger, but they may surrender directly.
.”
"It's time to deal with it today, otherwise it will give them a chance to surrender and escape." Chen Bin also insisted on his opinion.
The two of them were fighting like this on a routine basis, and it was not the time when Wei Xuanding led Xiang Ren to help. Naturally, they all came to see Zhang Xing to make a decision.
Zhang Xing thought for a while, then looked at the people around him, and gave an unexpected reply: "I said not to get involved before, and I really didn't think about it from the military situation that was about to come. But it's not that I was negligent, and about the Forbidden Army
Regarding the matter of returning to the north, I had some ideas when I was in Xuzhou, and I have already arranged some things in Xuzhou, which involve exactly what you are talking about... Everyone, please don't let this word spread... I don't think you can use force to deal with the Forbidden Army.
, and the Forbidden Army is powerful, especially when they first enter Huaibei, they are simply unstoppable. In addition, there are many subordinates there who are only nominally subordinate to us. Surrender or something is inevitable. So, don’t worry about whether they will.
Surrender or something. And if there are people who need to be protected, they can be transferred to Hebei, and there is no need to shout and kill."
The matter was so important that no one could say anything for a moment, but looking at the looks of Chen Bin and Xie Minghe, they must have realized what Zhang Xing meant, and they each nodded in realization, and the matter was settled.
However, Dou Lide and Shan Tonghai did not have a winner's mentality. On the contrary, both of them were a little serious... Dou Lide was keenly aware of his carelessness. He only had Hebei in his eyes and personnel in his heart, but he did not notice Jiangdu at all.
Regarding the Forbidden Army, the Gang is still in the stage of conquering the world. Military victory is the main issue and must be paid attention to. It is easier to just pass the sea. He is actually similar, but he is destined to face the Forbidden Army directly and the pressure is greater.
"This is what happened today." Zhang Xing didn't want to talk more about this topic now. "We will have a meeting in the afternoon, mainly to establish personnel; after that, the leaders will have a meeting in the evening to discuss the strategy for the Forbidden Army, whether to get out of the way or to block it.
Should we expel or eliminate... Besides, this matter also needs to consider the issue of Dongdu. Is Sima an enemy or a friend? In terms of the future situation, should he be an enemy or a friend? "
Everyone understood and said no more about the matter.
As for personnel matters, everyone wanted to ask, but the leaders did not dare to ask, and several big leaders were too sensitive, so it was not easy to ask. Only those words were related to the foundation of everyone's future, and Li Shu was completely defeated.
After Bai Hengqiu left, there will be basically no resistance to Chief Zhang's personnel proposals. How could he not make circumstantial suggestions?
"Li Shu's matter is nothing more than that." Chen Bin thought for a while and asked seriously. "Chief, is your proposal a bit hasty? Will there be a meeting as soon as you get back?"
"It was hasty, but didn't you guess that something would happen to Jiang?" Zhang Xingyi said. "When Cao Lin died, everyone said that Jiang was going to be in trouble. Now it seems that it was a little slow."
"That's true."
"Furthermore, I didn't make the proposal myself. The things I left for you before I left are actually the basic structure of this time, and it won't go beyond that... In other words, today's proposal is all about what I asked you to do.
And I invited Wei Gong to join forces." Zhang Xing explained further. "Don't worry, everyone."
Many people felt a little relieved, and Han Erlang and Huang Dalang were even more surprised... Shouldn't things like personnel affairs be in the hands of the chief alone?
In addition, there are still people who are obviously hesitant.
Zhang Xing also smiled when he saw this: "Old Chen, I can't do without you as the great steward. Don't worry. After the great office is established, you must continue to be the clerk. If you can't pass, I will raise it separately."
Chen Bin felt relieved, and everyone laughed, but there were different reactions in their hearts... Many people smiled bitterly. Chen Bin was very good at handling general affairs, but he was too strict, and everyone was afraid of him.
However, if you think about it this way, who will take over the vacant General Tomb Tower?
As well as Dengzhou, Dengzhou and Wudi are almost empty.
There are also Jijun, Weijun that we just captured, and Wuyangjun that we surrendered.
As for Wu'an County, I don't know how Chief Zhang made the agreement with Li Ding. It is said that it was five battalions? Seven leaders?
What a mess.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Xing finally took the initiative to speak: "Han Erlang, what did the Cui family of Qinghe say?"
"I'm ashamed of myself." Han Erlang quickly stood up, looking a little embarrassed. "Cui Tuang left his home and fled to Xindu with some of the Cui family's disciples. My cultivation level is too low and I can't stop him.
find."
"What kind of shame is this?" Zhang Xing said with a smile. "You, a person who is said to have just touched the Qijing, led several groups of soldiers to break through three sieges, killed two generals, and finally scared away a grand master. If
It’s such a shame that the others have no place to stand... Moreover, Cui Suan is also cunning and decisive."
Everyone nodded... Isn't this the truth... Han Erlang was the most outstanding one in this battle, and Cui Tang was also really cunning. Everyone felt that he was a sect thief who couldn't leave his hometown, but they forgot that he really left.
Well, there is still a loyal Cui Erlang sitting in the yard. Is it possible to demolish the Cui family's old house?
However, some people were surprised that Chief Zhang was always good at winning people's hearts. How could Han Erlang, who was so brilliant and accomplished, just sit there and praise me without holding hands or anything like that?
In fact, Qin Bao was confused.
Doubts turned into doubts, Zhang Xing left this place, and continued to have separate talks with Wei Xuanding, Xiong Bonan, Chai Xiaohe, Xu Shiying, and Zhou Xingfan, each time with five or six different leaders following him.
, which can be regarded as ventilating as much as possible.
After they finished talking to Gao Shitong, Liu Heifu and the others, it was noon and they all left the city and headed to the Cangcheng platform in the southwest of the city.
It was late spring, Liyang City was located by the river, and there were two rare mountains, one green and one yellow, which gave it a spring-like appearance.
When I arrived at Cangcheng, I saw from a distance that the red flag with the word "deposed" had been hung on the platform where the food was distributed that day. The seats were also divided into two circles, inside and outside. What on earth did the leaders think that the Jiangdu Forbidden Army was coming?
The Dengzhou Army disappeared and was pressed down in Dongyi. They only cheered up and listened to the personnel matters that everyone was most concerned about and the rewards and punishments based on personnel matters.
After entering Cangcheng and getting on the platform, everyone discovered that the seats of the leaders were all reserved and arranged from the inside out according to the traditional and simplified surnames, which made them even more speechless.
When Chief Zhang came here, he first urged everyone to sit down.
After a moment, everyone sat down. At this time, Chief Zhang just walked in with several leading leaders. The leaders outside were about to get up again, but he stopped him and shouted to one of them in public:
"Where is Han Erlang?"
Han Erlang is just the leader of the temporary team. He needs to approve the personnel proposal immediately before he can take his seat. At this time, he is talking to an old man named Zhang who is said to be some kind of think tank outside, as well as Huang Dalang, Qin Bao, whom he met today, and several others.
The bald men stood together, hearing the greetings and not knowing how to respond. They were pushed by Qin Bao before staggering inside.
Before he could reach the front, Chief Zhang greeted him first, then held his arm and returned to the center. Then he turned to face everyone: "Everyone, this is the Qinghe local surrender general. As the deputy commander, he led several soldiers of the field.
Han Erlang, who crippled Bai Hengqiu's arm!"
Not only the leaders of the outer circle, but also the outer layer, in addition to the soldiers who maintain order, the generals who are ready, the clerks who join the army, the local officials temporarily dispatched, the officers of the Liyang garrison, and some meritorious deeds who need to be identified like Han Erlang
After hearing the words, the people raised their heads and responded, and then whispered to each other and talked about it.
Han Erlang's face turned red and he was completely at a loss.
After a while, when the surroundings were quiet, Zhang Xing continued to catch people and raised their voices: "Everyone, remember my words, if there are a hundred Han Erlang in the gang, I, Zhang Xing, as the chief, can use all of you today.
The light has attained the supreme status!”
Everyone was shocked again, but many people were jealous and dissatisfied. Zhang Xing then let go and let Han Erlang go back, not forgetting to applaud each other... Seeing this, the people around him followed suit, even Li Shu applauded.
, it was really a bit thunderous, completely covering up these noises.
When this wave fell, Zhang Xing also took his seat. Wei Xuanding did his duty and stood up to preside over the meeting: "Everyone, let's follow the rules. After the war, there must be a decision. The same is true today... The military has not stabilized yet. Let's stop gossiping. The chief must first
Let me tell you something."
Zhang Xing stood up, looked around, and pumped his energy to ensure that everyone could hear:
"Everyone, leader Xu Shiying has taken the lead in discussing the specific military discussions and experiences, and each battalion has its own. I will only talk about the general outline of this battle, which is to give a strategic explanation.
Everyone knows it, but I will tell you now if you don't know... That is this battle. Bai Hengqiu may not have guessed it when he came here, but Li Yangcang summoned the Grand Master to take revenge, but it was us, the leaders in charge of military affairs, who
The leaders had guessed it a long time ago. But why did they still go against Li Yang with the majesty of the Grand Master? In fact, I know that some brothers and sisters in the gang still can't turn around and feel that the losses in this battle are too heavy.
Already.
But I have to say, this idea is wrong.
The reason why we want to take Liyangcang is very simple. Hebei was hit by a disaster last year. Hebei will definitely be short of food this year. It’s not impossible if we don’t fight, but there will be famine everywhere in Hebei. And our gang has clearly told the world that we are going to
To depose those who are good at profit in the world, and to depose those who are good at profit in the world, is to bring peace to the interests of the world. Only in this way can we truly stabilize the world. But if we want to bring peace to the world, how can we sit back and watch the people of Hebei die from famine without taking measures to stabilize the world?
How about sending back the food that the people of Hebei received in exchange for their blood?
Therefore, justice belongs to us in this battle! As for Cao Lin and Bai Hengqiu, although they are great masters, they are both deposed thieves!"
After saying this, the people around him applauded, but there were also many people in the inner circle, such as Li Shu, Li Ding, Gao Shitong and others who did not react much. Some of the leaders in the middle were also a little uneasy and perfunctory.
Only Han Erlang was on the outside, but he felt that these words were speaking to his heart. He almost wanted to shout out, but he was used to being taciturn. He just blushed. But there was a fair-skinned bald head next to him, regardless of the pull of several bald heads around him.
, stretched out a hand and shouted in the chaos:
"That's it, that's it! Otherwise, how could I, Bai Jingang, abandon those bastards and come to help?!"
This caused several leaders who were sitting close to look back in surprise.
