At the end of March, Liyang had just concluded a victorious, united, and exciting meeting during the day. But as dusk fell and the meeting ended, there was an undercurrent surging inside and outside Liyang City, which did not close the city gates and block the roads.
People's hearts are filled with uncertainty.
This is not an exaggeration or slander, but a fact.
Because almost all the big leaders took the opportunity to test and communicate with each other privately in the dusk, and consciously or unconsciously formed small groups or factions. It can almost be said that after the conference, they immediately divided into groups and held small meetings.
...Among them, some can be called naturally formed groups, or official groups formed with the endorsement of job levels within the gang, but some are pure cliques.
For example, Dou Lide took Liu Heifu back to find his wife and brother-in-law, and also gathered Gao Shitong and other leaders in Jianglingxingtai to have a casual meal together. This is of course normal, but how did Shan Tonghai, another leading figure, come among them?
What's going on?
For another example, Dou Lide, his daughter and student Li Ding ran outside the stables to smell the fishy smell and look at the stars and blow the evening breeze. It didn't matter where the young man and woman met by chance. It was legal and reasonable, but when they met Zhang Jinshu, Bing Yuanzheng, Chai Xiaohe and a group of
Stacking documents with confidants, the guards walked over from the other side of the stable, discussing how to persuade Xiong Bonan and Chen Bin to closely monitor Li Shu and the second room Yi Cui, so they had no choice but to squat behind the horse's butt here and pretend to be nothing.
hear.
For example, Wei Xuanding and his deputy and former boss Yuan Baocun went to drink arm in arm... At first they went together as two people, but Zhang Shizhao followed as they walked, talking about the old times in Hebei. Even Chief Zhang himself
Without giving in too much, he put his arm around Li Ding's shoulders and followed Qin Er. After walking out, he called Niu Da and Lu Changheng, who were also from the old scenery of Dongdu with open mouth, Jing'an Terrace with closed mouth, and Fulongwei.
Those who knew it would naturally know that these were gang members and upstarts. Those who didn’t know it thought it was a gathering of the old and young of the Wei Dynasty. Everyone missed me, the Wei Dynasty.
Including Wang Chen who followed Li Ding and suddenly went to Fang Yanshi in shock, which also left people confused.
In this case, Xu Shiying invited Wang Shuyong, Xu Shiren and Ma Wei to have a drink; Xiong Bonan took Zhang Gongshen and Han Erlang, who had just joined, to have dinner; Huang Ping and Yuwen Wanchou followed Jia Yue to a place to chat privately; Chen
Bin went back alone, but Xie Minghe took the initiative to lead several new supervisors, Huang Dalang, who was noisy, and the anxious Feng Duan to follow him; Cui Erlang took Cui Twenty-sixth Lang to find Cui Silang, and several Jingang gathered together.
Eating duck together... actually seems a lot more reasonable.
Even when Fang Yanlang and Du Caigan went to look for Li Shu, they all seemed upright.
An old leader or old friend has been demoted, why aren't old subordinates allowed to comfort him?
"I, Li Shu, am very grateful that you two can come." Li Shu, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the two people in front of him, and he was actually a little excited and grateful.
"Cui Silang was also coming, but he was dragged away by Cui Erlang and several of the Cui family's children. Twenty-nine Lang (Fang Yanshi) was also coming, but he was dragged away by Li Ding's people just now."
Fang Yanlang explained briefly.
"It's natural. The Cui family has just suffered such a big incident. If Cui Silang follows me all the way to the dark side, Cui family will not be able to sleep." Li Shu said with a bitter smile. "Twenty-nine Lang's place is even more serious.
He was lucky, and the line that Li Ding established when he established the Pu Tai Army happened to be connected... However, this shows the two of you, and I am really grateful."
Fang Yanlang immediately shook his head: "We came to see Mr. Li openly, what should we do to show off?"
This is the truth. They waited for the following meeting to break up before coming here just to be honest.
"The gang is actually very generous and fair enough." Du Caigan sighed, as if to persuade. "In today's situation, if Chief Zhang really wants to kill Mr. Li and deal with a few of us together, it will only be
It just happened... I was already thinking on the stage that I wouldn't be able to come back to the city today, but who would have thought that I would actually be given a chance to survive."
"It is generous and fair." Li Shu said seriously. "But it is also more chilling and makes people tremble."
Du Caiqian was obviously stunned.
Fang Yanlang, on the other hand, shook his head slightly, as if he knew what the other party meant: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, I am the chief and my name is justifiable. It is normal for Zhang Shizhao and Bing Yuanzheng to choose which side... We did not lose unfairly in Xuzhou.
"
"The key to this matter is not in Xuzhou, but in Hebei." Du Caiqian was also a little helpless. "Li Ding surrendered. Chief Zhang might have had to go around from the north. It might take three months to half a year to come back, but he turned around.
...This battle was caused by the issue of grain distribution. Leaders from Hebei and the Eastern Border felt that as long as Bai Hengqiu left, it would be worthwhile and even possible to win. With his reputation soaring, everyone attached to him.
How could anyone follow you?"
"So I don't blame him." Li Shu's expression did not change. "I don't blame Zhang Shizhao, Bing Yuanzheng, Chai Xiaohe, let alone Du Pozhen, Zhang Jinshu and others... I have to say something superfluous, even if you also follow
I don't blame those people either, I'm just frustrated that I chose the wrong path from the beginning... I've been walking the wrong path for most of my life."
Fang Yanlang and Du Caigan looked at each other. Although they did not dare to explain clearly, they roughly knew what Li Shu meant, because they happened to accompany Li Shu on the wrong path... They were all involved in the Yang Shen Rebellion.
The perpetrators and the victims, and now... So, there are some things that get annoying when you hear them too much.
To put it mildly, they came to see Li Shu, didn't they just listen to these complaints so that the other party could feel comfortable and avoid going to extremes?
"I have taken the wrong path three times in my life. The first time was when I was young and young. I thought that I could rely on my talents, learning, cultivation and hard work to make Wei Zhongchen and revive his family." Li Shu's beginning surprised the two people opposite him. They really
I didn't expect that the other party would take the wrong path so early. "As a result, after several years of hard work, just because I glanced at the new emperor Cao Che while standing guard, my future was ruined. I had no choice but to seek refuge with the Yang family in the world.
I expected to rely on them to revive the family, but as you all know, not only did I lose, but my family was gone, and even my old personal friends and business influence west of Longqianguan were wiped out. At that time, I almost wanted to die.
I took a breath and came down, thinking that if I could see the Great Wei collapse in this life, I would have no regrets... But now that the Great Wei is gone, I am empty too."
"That's not right." Fang Yanlang corrected him sternly. "You may have embarked on the third path for the purpose of eradicating the violent Wei Dynasty, but as you go along, everyone will know that the Wei Dynasty will surely perish. This path actually wants to
Let's take the old path with the new. We have been together these past few years. How come I don't know that you want to go your own way and create your own world? See if you can become a holy king while you are alive. When you die,
After Hualong was picked up by the Four Emperors, the worst he could do was to be written into a god's novel as a protagonist, and be written into history books as a brag..."
"Yes, you are right... The path of this gang was to eliminate the violent Wei Dynasty at first, but now it is to fight for the world and create a foundation." Li Shu's face turned pale. "But I really have no hope of becoming a holy king or becoming a saint.
The dragon was picked up by the four emperors. I have met the late emperor and know how difficult it is to become a holy king. By the time of the Three Expeditions, I was much older than Zhang Xing, Li Ding, and Xu Shiying. At most, I would have the pattern of the late emperor... So,
I also just want to learn from the late Emperor and create a new situation. When someone writes a novel in the future, I will be considered as the protagonist so that people can remember me... But now, let others be the protagonist of the novel! Let others walk the road.
!”
At this point, I actually felt a bit sad.
Fang Yanlang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this, and couldn't help but comfort him in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, why not just relax and just sit in Hebei to see the future..."
"That's right, let's stop for a moment and see the road clearly before walking on." Li Shu nodded hurriedly.
Fang Yanlang was waiting for these words and couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard them.
On the other hand, Du Caiqian, an old friend who had known Li Shu for a longer time, was listening to this conversation and wanted to speak for a moment, but in the end he did not speak.
At the end of the month, the double moons are almost gone, and as the night gets darker and darker, the evening wind blows, and it seems to be a dark and windy moon. Fortunately, by the end of spring, the stars are already bright, and Liyang City, Liyangcang and
The torches and lanterns on the road between the two, and of course the soldiers and horses, the flow of people, warehouses, and fields here, still give a sense of peace and tranquility in the world.
Zhang Xing rarely drinks, but he still drank a few drinks today, as did the others. He couldn't be called a wild man, but he did talk a lot.
Of course, he always talks a lot.
"You're going to let Li Shu go like this?" In the small courtyard where Niu Da stayed, Li Ding looked at the starry sky above his head, and finally no longer concealed his disdain. "You defected in the middle of battle, but managed to save your life. It's so kind of a woman!"
"That's the kindness of a woman who helps her superiors and subordinates." Zhang Xing disagreed.
"Third brother, as long as I push this matter to the big bosses today, Li Shu will definitely die." Niu Da was also a little depressed. "At that time, we will also help to strictly enforce military discipline."
"The gain outweighs the loss." Zhang Xing softened his tone a little. "You and Li Si are sincere in wanting to kill him. When Li Si was building roads in the Ministry of War, he always regarded himself as the marshal of an army, and he was very kind but not in command of the troops; and
As a general in the military formation, you have led the troops in several battles and acted as the flanks for the hard battles, so you feel resentful in your heart for delaying the war... But what about the others? Gao Shitong, Li Zida raised his hand because he really wanted to
Kill someone?"
Niuda woke up for a moment, but his mind couldn't turn around.
"They are surrendered generals and hostages of the vassal outside. They see that the situation has been settled and use this to show their loyalty." Seeing Niuda stunned, Lu Changheng suddenly put down his glass and replied. "Actually, they are the most afraid.
Li Shu was executed... and even Li Shu was not saved, and the other leaders were implicated, how can they feel at ease?"
Niu Da understood, but was completely stunned, and Li Ding was also in a daze.
Because they really didn't expect this.
"General Manager Xie probably didn't really want to kill people, he just had to follow General Manager Chen." Qin Bao also said. "It's good that there are many heroes in the gang, but they are all people from the hometown of Dong Qi, from Henan and Hebei.
Lord... Third brother specifically mentioned this today... Mr. Chen, a southerner, is the chief clerk and takes charge of the clerks to govern the fifty-six battalions of the eighteen counties. In fact, it is the pattern of the prime minister of Nanya.
Manager Xie, the closest southerner and old friend in the gang, cannot keep up with him, and the others will only become more dissatisfied."
Niu Da and Li Ding didn't speak for a long time, they could only lower their heads and drink.
"When dealing with a person of Li Shu's level, you have to consider politics rather than military matters." Zhang Xing responded quietly and made a final explanation. "So, the order of handling this matter is as follows: take him away with him first.
Bring back the soldiers and horses to ensure that there is no internal strife within the gang; then, he cannot be killed outside by those in the Du Po Formation; and then make sure that he is a referendum from within the gang... In other words, the referendum on his fate itself
That's the most important thing, not what the outcome should be."
"But how did Li Shu end up where he is now, where life and death are insignificant?" Qin Bao had a new question. "I remember that at the beginning, he was the one who led the troops to advance eastward, and even a few months ago he was the most powerful in the gang.
A leader."
"Because he is short-sighted, looking for the future, and looking for a route, and he can only do one thing but not two, let alone three; and he also has flaws in his character. On the surface, he is modest and sincere, but in fact he is arrogant, stubborn, and intolerant; but this is not what he fell into.
The root of the current situation is that I actually have the shortcomings mentioned earlier, you also have them, Li Si also has them, Sisi also has them, we all have them, but they are all different. His problem is that he cannot always cover up these shortcomings.
, or that you can't stick to what is right!" Zhang Xing talked eloquently with a drunken spirit. "Everything in the world is so ruined. No matter what Li Shu is, or no matter what anyone in the world is, is there anyone who just died?
Was that saint so prominent when he came to the throne? Did that saint have a bright future at that time? Then what was the fate of that saint?!"
Qin Bao nodded heavily.
Li Ding, who was standing by, finally laughed: "Your question and answer session is really similar to what it was like when we were at Chengfufang in Dongdu...even when I was watching, it looked the same."
Qin Bao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Time has passed and will never come back. Who would have thought that all our old friends are safe?"
"Everyone is safe wherever they come from. What happened to Sanniang?" Li Ding immediately refuted. "Isn't this too unexpected no matter how you think about it?"
"To put it simply, it was a wind disaster, a real wind disaster." Facing these people, Zhang Xing didn't mean to hide it, but he was concise and concise. "And if I put it more clearly, this may be her life... Someone followed me.
Said that the Red Emperor Empress regards her as a personal property and wants her to start her own business!"
"Then you will let the Red Emperor Empress kidnap her?"
Li Ding should have asked this, but he said nothing. He knew that Zhang Xing was not such a person, and Qin Bao also knew that.
"After this battle, I will go find her no matter what. Yu Private, that is my wife, Yu Gong, there are five battalions and many leaders of my gang... But I always feel that Sanniang is not the one who needs help.
, she can untie the shackles by herself, and maybe she can go up to him directly." Zhang Xing was still magnanimous. "I can trust her."
It was hard for a few people to say anything.
Because few people who know Bai Sanniang have no confidence in her.
"I roughly understand what Shan Dalang means today. Do you want to say that our chief will definitely succeed, and we, the people, must prepare in advance?" Time continued to pass, and in the dark night, several banquets inside and outside the city had ended.
, but in the biggest part, the two most important attendees were still sitting opposite each other in the courtyard. They were the two newly appointed leaders Dou Lide and Shan Tonghai, but they didn't know what they were connecting with.
"It's already done." Shan Tonghai sneered. "Even if we fight to the end and all the gang is gone, based on the current achievements of the gang, our chief is as good as Prime Minister Long in his favorite "The Legend of Li Yue""
The pattern... As for the future, whether it is Bai Hengqiu or Xiao Hui, as long as the gang does not win, what does it matter to us? Can we abandon our own pattern in Hebei and Henan to be his dog? Or is it right now?
With this chief’s prestige, can we still start from scratch?”
"That's the truth." Dou Lide seemed to be in a daze after drinking too much wine, but he still nodded after a moment. "That's the truth. How should we prepare?"
"Actually, just one sentence, we must abide by the rule of raising hands." Shan Tonghai responded solemnly. "I don't know whether Chief Zhang is doing this as an expedient to unite people or because he really wants to do this... But this rule is what we stand for.
Fundamentally, if you stick to this rule, if you make a mistake, you won’t die at every turn; if you don’t make a mistake, you can make some restrictions and implement your own strategies!”
"If it's him... if it's him..." Dou Lide nodded, but then shook his head, seeming hesitant, but finally spoke. "If he is really a temporary measure, he will not be able to become the supreme emperor in the end, but he will change the rules."
what to do?"
"Then he has to change it first, right?" Shan Tonghai figured it out. "It won't disappear all at once, right? Besides, there should always be an old rule left and he can change it back in the future."
"Not bad." Dou Lide also smiled. "It's still free and easy with a single faucet."
"What are you talking about free and easy?" Shan Tonghai paused for a while before answering. "But to be honest, sometimes I also think that we still have luck, no matter what the gang will be like in the future, or what Chief Zhang will do in the future.
I won't fall out, these four years are not empty, they are always lucky. Otherwise, you don't have to look elsewhere... You don't have to look elsewhere, just look at Hebei two or three years ago... I just saw you after coming to Hebei
It’s so miserable. When I see the killings here and the desolation of the surrounding areas, I realize how precious the previous pattern of the Eastern Territory is and how rare it is to follow the rules.”
Dou Lide stopped talking, but his eyes were wandering. He didn't know if he was simply drunk, or he was thinking of the situation in Hebei he encountered before joining the gang... Or to be more specific, was it the young man who dumped his body beside the official road before the Three Expeditions?
Were they the killed elders of the Dou family? Or were they the family members of various rebels who froze to death and starved to death in Gaoji Po?
Who knows?
Entering April, the military intelligence in Huaishang continued to spread. The gang members who had just been reorganized and mobilized were nervous for a while - because the Jiangdu Forbidden Army mobilized too fast! And according to the intelligence, they were too united! Even their strength was almost intact!
Not to mention, as the gang shifted its intelligence capabilities to focus on the Forbidden Army, and the Forbidden Army moved north, the relevant intelligence cycle became shorter, and soon it gave people a feeling that the situation was accelerating the collapse of the situation.
On April 3rd, Tu Wanchanglu, the vanguard of the Forbidden Army, led 14,000 troops to cross the river from Huaming in Huainan. The Dupo Formation had just arrived and was unstable. He did not stop him at all and gave up directly facing Xucheng in Huaibei... This news helped
I learned about it on April 7th;
On April 5, the main force of the imperial army officially crossed the canal from Shanyang, Huaikou, and easily captured the Surabaya River and entered Huaikou. The news reached Liyang on April 8;
On April 6, the main force of the Forbidden Army moved north along the Surabaya River and occupied the fortress of Huaiyang. The news reached Baima, East County, on the morning of April 9;
On the same day, Du Po Formation in Xuzhou City, just behind Huaiyang, fled without a fight and abandoned the main town of Xuzhou. The news reached Liyang late at night on April 8th... because Du Po Formation notified the gang in advance.
Therefore, Zhang Xing set off immediately that night and arrived at the other side of the river. As a result, Baima, who had just arrived on the other side, had a meal on the porch of the East County Office and received the news.
The situation has developed to this point. Within three days, the Forbidden Army crossed the river in full force. Xuzhou fled without a fight. The entire gang was awakened. All levels of the gang who were still immersed in the aftermath of the Hebei War and various internal affairs, reorganization, and military expansion messages were sober.
Realize that a new military conflict is inevitable.
The originally confident senior management could not help but feel a little shaken.
The reason is very simple. Although the unity and speed of the Forbidden Army backfired, it was still imagined. The top management had long been informed and formulated a strategy... The problem was that Du Po Zhen abandoned the Xuzhou Administrative Office and the core county of Xiapi and fled to Xiapi.
Donghai's escape...this matter was not planned by anyone in advance.
This is what Du Po Formation did on its own in order to preserve its final strength!
From April 7th to 8th, the main force of the Forbidden Army continued to cross the river in large numbers, and the forward Zhao Xingmi was not sure at what specific time he easily captured the city of Xuzhou.
For a time, all the eyes of the world were turned to Xuzhou, and everyone wanted to see how the two most powerful men in the world would battle it out.
But I stopped watching after only a day or two, because soon another news that shocked the world came out, and everyone looked to the west:
After the British Duke Bai Hengqiu defeated a Wu tribe force on the Weishui River, he continued to march westward with a main force of 20,000. Wei Shengji, the owner of the hut stationed in Daxing, the Western Capital, came out of the city to meet him. Bai Hengqiu took control of the Western Capital City without any bloodshed, and then found the city that day.
A descendant of a distant branch of the Cao family arrived and became the new emperor. He called himself prime minister, granted pardon to the world, and officially changed Daxing to Chang'an, and then sent envoys around.
This day is the ninth day of April.
Bai Hengyuan, the general manager of Jingxiang who had been blocked by the owner of the hut in the southeast passage of Lantian before, received the message, abandoned the army, rode into the city alone, and professed his vassal to Bai Hengqiu. This day was the tenth day of April.
However, Dulan Khan was not afraid at all when he saw Bai Hengqiu's envoy. He did not hesitate to tear up the opponent's letter of persuasion to withdraw. Instead, he sent out golden arrows, asking all the troops to stop looting and quickly gather to the north of the Weishui River.
At the same time, they invited reinforcements to the Wu clan territory in the north, as if they were going to have a big battle.
Relatively speaking, when Xiao Hui took the opportunity to fetch Jiang Ning, Jiangdu seemed calm.
It can only be said that the situation all over the world has become tense, and no one can care about anyone.
In fact, by this time, the gang had become difficult, because the determination and speed of the Forbidden Army directly affected the attitudes of other people. It was natural that Dongdu would not say anything. Huaixi King Daiji had already talked to Zhang Xing in a private message
The alley has become slippery now.
There were also some noises within the gang, because everyone had realized that although Du Po Zhen's escape without a fight was his own initiative, it was obviously influenced by Zhang Xing's arrangements.
Not to mention this, in the middle of the year, three other pieces of extremely bad news also came from Xuzhou.
On April 11, the leader of the gang, the deputy leader of the Huaiyou League, and the deputy commander of Xuzhou Xingtai, Fu Boshi openly led his troops to surrender to the Forbidden Army. Immediately, the Zhishi Army went south from Langya, and the leader and general manager of the gang were originally asked to stay.
Langya defended the imperial army from marching north, Zhishilang Wanghou, and led his entire army to surrender to Sima Huada on April 13th. On the contrary, Wang Zhuo, the inner chamberlain soldier, delayed for another three days, and on April 16th, he proposed counter-conditions in accordance with the imperial army's persuasion to surrender.
The so-called surrender of cattle but not horses, surrender to the east but not to the west...that is to say, it is required to be directly under the command and control of Lord Niu, and to be the main force of the Forbidden Army rather than the avant-garde. But it was still surrendered.
The gang has been building the gang for four years, and so far there have been only two traitors. This time, three big leaders have been demoted in one breath. Although they are from outside the vassal, it is still shocking enough... Of course, because it is too shocking, you don’t need to ask, you will know that there must be something in it.
There is Zhang Xing’s “arrangement” in Xuzhou that day.
What idea could he come up with in a hurry? It was nothing more than being a spy.
However, if his idea directly affected Du Po Zhen and avoided it without a fight, that was another matter.
"There must be spies sent by Zhang Xing here." Zhao Xingmi, who had just escorted a batch of grain at the top of Xuzhou City, concluded.
"It must be so. Which one do you think it is?" Sima Jinda frowned.
"Are you asking me?" Zhao Xingmi was extremely speechless. "I have been out searching for leftover grain and grass in various Cangcheng cities these days, and I haven't seen many descendants."
"It's probably not the Internal Affairs Army." Sima Jinda thought for a while and gave his opinion. "We persuaded the Internal Affairs Army to surrender, but Governor Niu is here... Isn't it okay to go back to the East? Han Yingong has a grudge against them.
not us."
"That should be the case." Zhao Xingmi nodded. "But it's not reliable on the other hand. Anyway, people only listen to Mr. Niu... Is it that Chishiro?"
"I didn't believe Wang Hou at first, but after meeting him, I believed it. Not only did I believe it, but everyone present also believed it." Sima Jinda spread his hands and explained. "My eldest brother asked him, are you being raped?
We put it aside and left it alone in Langya. Everyone knows it. It’s normal to have grievances, but you won’t go to us, right? Aren’t you the first in the world to jump out against Wei?”
"What did he say?" Zhao Xingmi was stunned for a moment and responded with curiosity.
"He said that it was because he hated Wei and Cao to the core that he willingly came to join us, and he was extremely grateful to my brother. He joined the Sima clan." Sima Jinda responded quietly. "It just so happened that he was excluded.
After many years, I naturally don’t want to give up this opportunity.”
Zhao Xingmi was stunned for a long time and could not refute it.
After a long while, the man said: "That's the Fu Bo Stone."
"It should be Fu Bo Shi." Sima Jinda nodded. "But Fu Bo Shi only surrendered in name. No one came. He only stationed two thousand soldiers in the east... We can't deal with it now."
Zhao Xingmi thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong: "But if you say it like this, this is the reaction of serious surrender, right?"
Sima Jinda also fell silent, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Are they all sincerely surrendering?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhao Xingmi sneered and pointed out the key point. "Seventh General, right servant, let me ask you, what do you need most now?"
Sima Jinda immediately gave the answer: "Of course it's combat power. They suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and there were also bizarre things like Bai Sanniang, who lost so many soldiers."
"It's combat power... but it takes time to restore combat power." Zhao Xingmi reminded. "He needs to recruit strong men to supplement his troops, he needs time to repair ordnance, and he needs time to subdue the newly surrendered Li Ding. We can't do the opposite.
If you waste time, the imperial army will cause trouble, and the food supply will be delayed and it will become a problem."
"yes."
"Then think about it, how many days have we been delayed in Xuzhou City?" Zhao Xingmi continued to remind. "We crossed the river on April 5th and captured Xuzhou on three days. However, we were delayed for seven or eight days in Xuzhou. If they hadn't been there one by one,
Have you already set off to surrender? Therefore, there must be spies sent by Zhang Xing among these three groups... But this matter is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zuopushe must be told that no more
wasting time."
Sima Jinda was stunned for a moment, and he woke up with a start, but he just raised his hand and hurried away.
"What Zhao Xingmi said makes sense." A moment later, at a mansion in Xuzhou, Sima Huada, who had come to Zhan'er's house, was drinking and smelling of alcohol. "But I don't think I can leave right away.
I will stay in Xuzhou for a few more days."
Sima Jinda was stunned and asked for words.
"Listen to me, Old Seven." Sima Huada raised his hand to stop the other party. "First of all, we are uneasy internally. As you said, there are spies who may be helpful... and nine times out of ten, it is that person.
Fu Bo Shi... But the Forbidden Army is obedient? There is no one in the Forbidden Army who wants to kill us? To put it bluntly, Fu Bo Shi's two thousand people per battalion, we are on guard, and everyone will be on guard, but then
Where is the Dapeng? Didn't you tell us to be careful? Let me tell you, he is already in a series. What if we set off now and find a flaw on the way and suddenly kill him? What if we join forces with another Zuopushe?
"
Sima Jinda thought for a while, then sat down and nodded sincerely: "Brother said yes, it's really time to take action... Then what should we do?"
"Simple, first find out the origin of the roc bird, then tell Smadek and ask him to take action."
"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"
"It's also a matter of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight." Sima Huada responded proudly. "The biggest problem of the Forbidden Army is that there is no official leader... The Dapeng bird's revenge for the faint king is bound to be unpopular. Sima Deke must win, but the Dapeng bird will definitely win. Bird is a capable person, and Smadek will also suffer heavy losses. At that time, I will come out to clean up the situation, and by the way, I will become the prime minister and determine the ranking... The British Duke has already become the prime minister! I, Rui Guo Duke, can't do it?!"
Sima Jinda hesitated for a moment: "I'm just afraid of thieves..."
"What a fright." Sima Huada sneered. "This is the second reason I want to talk about... If we cross the Huai River, they will swarm in to rescue me, and I will still be worried. But he could only let Du Po Formation avoid the battle and let his subordinates fake surrender, and so many people surrendered, could it be that they were all fake surrenders? You can see that Wang Hou was obviously dissatisfied, and the internal servants were really shaken. This shows that although Zhang Xing is a man It's awesome, but we still suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, so we really can't make a living without rice. And judging from his behavior, I guess he has already established his foundation in Hebei and regards the tribes in Henan as foreign vassals, so he won't take advantage of us just because we borrowed a road in Henan. Confront us head-on."
Sima Jinda thought carefully for a while and could only nod slowly: "What the elder brother said is reasonable, but I still want to remind the elder brother that if we delay for too long, chaos will inevitably occur. Don't forget our original purpose. What it is, just go back to Dongdu."
"It's natural." Sima Huada responded with a sneer. "I have to go back. Don't I want to go back? Otherwise, why would I ask Zhao Xingmi to collect food? But Seventh, since we are talking about this, I have one more thing to say."
"Looking at it now, it's no problem to return to the east, as long as we move, and no one can stop everyone from moving." Sima Huada responded quietly. "But if I can't bring an obedient army back, Dongdu, believe it or not, my son still doesn’t regard me as his father!"
Sima Jinda was speechless.
Xuzhou City was calm in April, and this year's rainy season was far away, and the overwhelming main force of the Forbidden Army also naturally stopped for a while. Thousands of miles away in the Guanzhong Wei River Basin, there were more and more main Wu tribes in Weibei. But Bai Hengqiu always stayed in Chang'an and did not attack. Instead, he focused on the reorganization of the troops, the appointment of personnel and rewards... This is actually very similar to a gang.
In the first half of April this year, everyone thought that the whole world would be suddenly stormy, but unexpectedly, in the middle of April, it turned out to be calm.
PS: There were a lot of typos in the last chapter, I'm sorry... It's strange. It's not that the typos are weird, it's that when people are sleepy, they really make typos without knowing it. It's an obvious lesson.
