Not ten days later, but only five days after the gang chief arrived at Blackwater Guards, Grand Commander Yin Tianqi officially issued a notice, signed documents, and announced to the entire Northland the news of the cooperation between the Demon Guards and the gang.
It is said to be a cooperation, but it is still clear that the members of the Dang Mo Guards joined the gang as individuals, and the Dang Mo Guards as a whole received the gang leaders, big leaders, and leader quotas, and then the gang established a branch in the Northland after the war and established counties.
The unmistakable explanation is that the Demon Guard actually merged with the Gang, and it was the Demon Guard that was annexed by the Gang as the main force.
Once the announcement is made, it will be difficult to change the situation.
On the same day, Lan Dawen, the commander of Anchewei, resigned directly and returned home, fulfilling his political promise... From this alone, it can be imagined that the internal turmoil in the Demon Guard that Yin Tianqi said yesterday is almost inevitable, and will happen
Quite intense, frequent and extensive.
Compared with Mrs. Lu who returned to Tingtao City overnight last night, Zhang Xing waited until the announcement was issued and saw the whole city boiling. After countless war group messengers flew out, he did not hesitate, leaving only Jia.
A liaison team headed by Yue and Xu Jingzu who was actually in charge stayed here, while he, Bai Yousi, Qin Bao, several staff officers, and the White Wolf Guards including Hei Yan, immediately returned along the original route.
When I came, I held a big flag, and when I left, the red flag with the word "deposed" was simply rolled up.
However, four days later, just after crossing the iconic Baihe River within the territory of Bailian City, and before even touching the edge of the Hulukou, the group encountered a large-scale commotion... According to people who fled from the south, many
A war group suddenly gathered in the south of Bailian City, and a quite chaotic conflict occurred between them, including with the military forces directly under Bailian City.
Everyone immediately realized that this was unlikely to be due to the change of flag of the Demon Guard, because their party was moving south so fast that the news could not catch up, so the cause of the commotion must be further south.
Sure enough, one day later, as everyone approached Hulukou, they soon learned the whole story through Heiyan, who came forward from a war group leader they met on the road.
It turned out that while Zhang Xing was lingering in the Blackwater Guards, Li Ding had successfully conquered Luobo City through a field battle and a siege battle, and brought Lu Ye Gong and his son (not only the eldest son who led the army, but also the subordinates)
The second son, the youngest son who was guarding the city, and a second daughter who was fighting in the army hung their heads for public display... This was of course one of the reasons for the panic, but it was not that the field battles and sieges were so simple that they scared the Northlanders.
The land is not a closed place, and we don’t know the rise and fall of the Wei Dynasty or the general trend of the world. The key to the problem is that the leader of a gang killed the entire family of Lu Ye Gong who had been in power for decades without hesitation. It is really shocking.
This kind of ideological impact is no less powerful than the rapidity of the war.
Not to mention, just when Mr. Lu Ye and his son were hanged in public, and the surrounding forces in the North were stunned, just when everyone thought that the army, the main force of the Northern Expedition, would continue northward to Benma City along the west road of the North, or simply go
When they were dealing with the Tieshan Guards who were just beside them, on the east side of the battlefield, at Liucheng in the valley, a man named Hou Junshu suddenly bypassed the pass and sneaked into the city.
You know, the original situation in Liucheng was very embarrassing. They had a military conflict with the White Wolf Guards in the northeast, Youzhou in the south changed hands, and then the gang army appeared non-stop on Luobo Plain in the west, so they were naturally nervous.
Early in the process, we used the surrounding terrain to set up defenses layer by layer, and at the same time, we did not forget to contact the surrounding areas.
Among them, several big forces, such as Lelang City, Bailian City, including Tieshan Guard, are still playing tricks here. After all, they never expected that the situation would change so quickly... And the surrounding war groups really took advantage of Xia
Ri Qingshuang gathered a lot of people, and together with the soldiers and horses directly under his command, they were placed outside for layers of defense.
As a result, the result is that Hou Junshu sneaked into one of them, used a shell to get in, and the center blossomed.
Now, the gang's reinforcements are moving away from the south and west at a high speed, trying to join forces with Hou Junshu to control the situation. The troops directly under Liucheng who were originally deployed at the key pass are running back like crazy. The person who is causing the riot now is
They were summoned by Duke Liucheng before and had already arrived at Liucheng and the various fighting groups that were heading towards Liucheng.
They were afraid of the gang's revenge and how the situation would take a turn for the worse. They were afraid that the army would turn out from Hulukou and trap them all in the south. Naturally, they would flee north in embarrassment. However, due to disorder and the loss of supplies, they would cause trouble at the south end of Bailian City.
Something went wrong.
"I can't understand."
A whole day had passed since he heard the news. Heiyan, who had already arrived at Hulukou, put down his soup bowl and was still indignant. "If you look at these regiments individually, none of them looks decent. The leaders of each regiment also have their own merits."
, how can you say that you don’t have hope when you gather together a strong army and a strong horse? Just like this time, you said that you have a grandmaster, but what about Liucheng? Did you meet the grandmaster? It was just that the city was stolen and they dispersed!
It’s the same now, and it was the same when Wei came in! What’s going on?!”
The knights with white wolf tails around them were also a little angry.
Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi looked at each other, but before they spoke, Qin Bao spoke leisurely: "Why should Mr. Hei be angry? If a great master who can take the lead comes over and unites as one, Li Longtou's dozen battalions will not be enough."
...I wonder if it will be Li Longtou who dies."
This guy seemed to be getting more and more relaxed.
Hearing this, Hei Yan sneered twice, but he actually reversed the situation: "Maybe... with them like this, even if Da Siming came in person and won one or two battles, what's the point?
How can we leave the North and fight to Youzhou? When they reorganize their troops and come back, will they still be there? How can the Grand Master stay still? Sooner or later, they will be divided and disintegrated, and they will be defeated one by one... I am not
Never seen it!”
Qin Bao said "Oh" and said nothing.
After Heiyan reacted, he couldn't help but shake his head.
In fact, in just one small episode, the reasons why the gang was able to sue for peace and merge peacefully with the Demon Guard were revealed.
First of all, the core and biggest reasons are obvious:
Culturally speaking, the Northland and the Central Plains have always been one. Politically speaking, the Central Plains' in-depth advancement of the Northland has been turbulent and has never stopped. In addition, although the Wei Dynasty suddenly died, it did not stop people's thoughts caused by the chaos of the previous hundreds of years.
Determined, this is called the irreversible trend of history;
In terms of the specific current situation, the Gang controls Hebei, Dongjing, Huaibei and other densely populated Central Plains elite areas. In theory, it does have the military strength to annex the North. Li Ding's army and Youzhou's Xu Shiying are right there.
There, we really want to fight, not just threats, this is the reality of the situation that cannot be bullied;
In addition, the relationship between the Hachigong of the Northland garrison and the Dangmo guards is unclear. Hachigong of the garrison occupies the richest area and has the initiative in the economy and population, but they work independently, while the Dangmo guards are theoretically one.
, but were divided into various geographical key points... This was a last resort method to maintain the basic public structure of the North during the period of retreat, but it also lost the basic system for gathering strength to fight against external forces.
In addition to the three major reasons, there are also several other principles that are of considerable importance.
For example, Zhang Xing's background in Beidi, the identity chosen by the Black Emperor, and the gang's political system, which looks similar to that of the Demon Guards, indeed played a huge role, saving a lot of integration steps; another example is the Beidi
The political and economic ties between the three southern cities and the two guards in Hebei are too close; for example, the Wei Dynasty burped too fast, and people in the North still have fresh memories of how the Wei Dynasty swept into the Northland with great force.
It was because they were angry at the excessive expropriation and expropriation in the later period. As a result, they now established a foundation as an anti-Wei people. When they returned to the north, they had a natural political stance with the Dangmowei who had a fierce conflict with the Wei Dynasty.
It can only be said that Wei's contribution to the gang is still underestimated.
As for the current Heiyan, he is an iconic figure driven by these forces.
When the Wei Dynasty advanced to the north, he was in full swing. As a witness and a loser, he witnessed with his own eyes the power and brutality of the rising dynasty in the Central Plains.
However, the White Wolf Guard where he is located has an outlet to the sea, is mostly in hilly areas, and relies heavily on commerce. Therefore, it has close business ties with Hebei, and is therefore more sensitive to the situation in the Central Plains and has a clear understanding of it. Therefore, when helping
When seeking allies against the Wei forces in Hebei, he jumped out and became the first core member of the Demon Guard to form an alliance with the gang, and concluded a basic trade and military mutual assistance agreement.
Moreover, he was the first person to take action against the official forces of the Wei Dynasty in the North.
Such a person is naturally an ally of the Gang, but even he feels uneasy and hesitant about what is about to happen.
"Chief Zhang, tell me, is there going to be a big battle in the Northland next?" Hei Yan ate and drank a few mouthfuls, and sure enough he came to ask. "This kind of siege of the city one by one does not count."
"Didn't you tell me on the way?" Zhang Xing immediately answered. "The key is that on the North West Road, Mrs. Lu has gone back and Lan Siming has resigned from her post. It shows that there is some thought there, and it is difficult not to fight.
Bar?"
"Here's the thing." Hei Yan frowned. "I just realized it now... Chief Zhang, I want to remind you one thing. Mrs. Lu is also famous for her actions. Her favorite method is to use force to fight against others."
, but I stayed away and waited for the war to deal with it, so when we really go to fight, it may not be Mrs. Lu who takes the lead."
"She doesn't want to take the lead. If she wants to have a show, the soldiers and horses cannot be fake, and the masters cannot be fake. If they are all beaten, what will happen?" Bai Yousi also frowned.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Heiyan said seriously. "If the essence of the Northwest Road is wiped out in the first battle, but the most important people who oppose your gang are left behind, wouldn't it seem like the dead people were unjustly accused?"
"If we really go to the battlefield, no one will be wronged." Bai You thought for a moment and sneered. "Otherwise, you really don't take weapons seriously."
The black extension is stagnant.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, said quietly at this time: "I actually know what Mr. Hei means. It is best to be able to make a leisurely choice, pardon specific people and punish specific people. But now I don't have this power and responsibility, otherwise I wouldn't be here."
Use that method when discussing the internal issues of the Demon Guard with Da Siming... just pardon him directly."
Hei Yan frowned slightly: "Chief Zhang, I wanted to ask you before, if there was someone who could restrain you by raising hands in meetings before this sweep of Hebei, but what about now? Based on your prestige, you have to
What can you do, and who can stop you? To put it bluntly, if our chief commander gets violent, it won’t matter a few of us, let alone you?"
"That's the case. Didn't you commanders also say that? Whenever you break the rules, you will also damage your own prestige." Zhang Xing showed his hands. "It's not necessary... and I didn't say that we won't solve the problem. Beidi
Here, you who are inside the Dangmo Guard can make your own decisions, and those outside the Dangmo Guard. I just want to go back to Yecheng and create a national title. Then I will ask the gang for the rights and responsibilities to act on their own in the Northland, and then I will go back to Yecheng.
Return to the Northland. If you have solved the internal problems by then, come over together and we will decide on a scope. For example, Chief Siming and you, I, Li Longtou and a few other big leaders will decide together.
Which one should be pardoned and which one should be killed... But having said that, if they were dead or surrendered before I came back, I wouldn't have anyone to blame."
Heiyan nodded: "If this is the case, it would be an act of kindness. If we hadn't dealt with the civil strife here, they would have been killed over there. It can only be said that they have too little vision. Such a gap is still going on."
Being hit...you deserve it."
Zhang Xing nodded and said no more words.
Besides, there is a reason why I say this here at this time. The two sides had already agreed on the road during the day. Since Li Ding was fighting so fast, Hei Yan should quickly go north to mobilize the White Wolf Guard and immediately participate in the battle.
Liucheng and Lelangcheng's attacks are also the best way to merge; Zhang Xing took the opportunity to go to Tieshanwei's hometown to take a look at the situation. He did not expect to directly accept Tieshanwei, but at least made his position clear and controlled part of the force.
, as a deterrent, so that there would be no trouble when the army advances northward again.
Therefore, Heiyan would escort Zhang Xing across Hulukou and then turn back immediately.
Sure enough, the two agreed to separate on the west side of Hulukou the next day. Hei Yan returned to Bailangwei, and Zhang Xingze, Bai Yousi, and Qin Bao came to Tieshanwei, his theoretical hometown.
Tieshan Guard, as the name suggests, is built on a hill with excellent iron ore. In fact, Tieshan Guard and Luobo City are one high and one low, one for workers and one for farmers, one for the garrison and one for the demon guard. They are complementary.
It constitutes the basic political, economic and cultural ecology of the richest area in Northland.
It is worth mentioning that as the demon guard in the southern part of the Northland, Tieshan Guard is also on the front line of ideological vacillation. The biggest and most obvious symptom is that Tieshan Guard's commander Zhu Mu has always been determined to promote
His son succeeded Tieshanwei and completed the hereditary inheritance by imitating the neighboring governorate Ba Gong and the small counties on the edge of Youzhou.
Frankly speaking, his first half of the method is still impeccable, which is to train his two sons, let them first establish prestige, improve their cultivation, win people's hearts, and have a say in the local military and economy... To put it bluntly, he uses the rules to
To push his two sons to the top.
There really isn't anything wrong with this approach.
So what's the problem?
The reason is that the two sons are equal, but there is only one Tieshanwei, and both sons have their roots in Tieshanwei.
So, when the two sons were full-fledged, the old father suffered a serious illness four or five years ago, and his energy shrank to some extent, which caused the Tieshanwei, which was originally run like an iron bucket, to split... Moreover, it was not just
Divide into two halves.
"It's three petals." Huang Ping was sitting at the wooden table, looking a little dull. "There is another petal, which is yours."
"My people?" Even though Zhang Xing was now well-informed, he was confused for a moment.
"You underestimate yourself too much." Huang Ping said sternly. "Zhu Siming is sick and his two sons are making a mess. The Demon Guards have their own system, so of course they are a little disgusted with them... It's just that the serious Siming is also named Zhu, and he still sits there.
There is nothing to fight against, but isn’t this you? Fuma crossed the river and started such a foundation with bare hands. Now he is not inferior to Dong Qi at all. In addition, thousands of people went there for the rescue last year.
, I personally know your posture, and if you come back, you will have a good reputation."
Zhang Xing nodded and realized in his heart that there was actually one thing the other party didn't say, and that was the role of his uncle... This was his only theoretical relative. He had been sitting in Tieshan Guard for decades, and he had a long history of prestige.
A natural political guarantor, so we can form a "petal" around "him".
In any case, it will be much easier if you have a handhold, and you can do whatever you want.
However, Zhang Xing was determined and had no more words. He just waited for his uncle to continue talking... He had noticed early on that the other party's mood was not right.
"Did Da Siming really agree?" Sure enough, after a long while, Huang Ping finally spoke.
"This can't be fake, right?" Zhang Xing could only smile. "My uncle said, I have such a solid foundation now, so what's the purpose of making a fake plan? Just to shake the determination of an Iron Mountain Guard so that Li Ding can launch a surprise attack?
And uncle, you in Tieshan Guard should also be aware of the current situation in the world and the problems within the Demon Guard. After what happened, isn't it the general trend?"
Huang Ping shook his head slowly, his head drooping involuntarily: "Even so, even so, how can I be willing to do so?"
Of course Zhang Xing could understand the other party's mood, but with the uncle-nephew relationship here, he couldn't put on the airs of being the chief, so he could only turn around and look around, and finally his eyes fell on a young girl.
The young lady is actually about the same age as Yueniang, but her temperament is obviously different. It is awkward to stand behind Huang Ping at this time. In the room behind the young lady, although Zhang Xing's cultivation level is strange to even the grand master, his perception is as good as ever. He knew where it was early.
There is a sleeping baby.
Seeing this situation, Chief Zhang wanted to make some small talk to break the deadlock.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bai Yousi suddenly spoke: "My uncle has been fighting against the Demon Guard for decades, and it is human nature to worry about him physically and mentally. But the problem now is that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and uncle
It is also the foundation of the orthodox members of the Tieshan Guard and the Demon Guard... If my uncle cannot cheer up, I am afraid it will make things worse... Uncle, this is a matter of life and death, and may even lead to bloodshed.
"
Frankly speaking, Bai Yousi's words have no technical content and are simply a reminder of the seriousness of the situation. But the beauty lies in her special status.
One of the greatest masters in the world, the leader of a major faction within the gang, the real power manager, the eldest daughter of the British Emperor, Zhang Xing's only wife... Speaking at this time, he easily broke through the uncle-nephew identity barrier that Zhang Xing could not break.
"Bai... Manager Bai is right. If I wasn't worried about the situation, I wouldn't have let my mother-in-law take her grandson back here to escape." Huang Ping was helpless. "But how should we deal with it?"
Bai Yousi then looked at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter how you deal with it. Just deal with it... Let the news go out now and tell everyone that the Demon Guard and the gang have become one family. From now on, I will be in charge. I will take care of it now."
At my uncle's place, I invite everyone in Tieshan Guard to come. Within three days, anyone who is willing to come can come to my uncle's place to meet me. As long as he comes to sit down, drink a bowl of soup, and shake hands, he is considered one of his own...
It’s not about talking about the future, the key is that before we fight with each other, we must always distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.”
Huang Ping nodded and asked again: "Where are those battle groups?"
"As long as they are around Tieshanwei, please invite them."
"There are always people who won't come..." Huang Ping was still a little sad.
"The war group or the people from Tieshan Guards?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.
"Wei Li didn't break up after all. Even if he had some thoughts, he wouldn't take such a big risk in such a short period of time." Huang Ping said seriously. "And in the battle group, no one can make their own decisions.
But there must be people in the Wei army with bad intentions, and they are instigating some peripheral war groups to cause trouble..."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xing remained calm. "Uncle...the battle groups compete for venues on weekdays, and the business is ups and downs. There must be some conflicts, right? There are always enemies and friends, right?"
"It's natural."
"Then be sure to pay attention to those enemies who may cause trouble in the war group. When the time comes, I will let them control the situation outside Tieshan Guard..."
"This will cause trouble." Huang Ping reminded hurriedly.
"We are going to cause trouble." Zhang Xing responded calmly. "Uncle, think about it, how many troubles can be caused in three days? If a few people cause trouble, won't the rest be fine? This is right
The overall situation is beneficial... If you want to protect Iron Mountain Guard, this is the best way."
"That's right." Bai Yousi also reminded. "Uncle, please think clearly, this is a matter of life and death in swordsmanship. Those who go to gamble on their own, whether it is their own thoughts or willingness to be someone else's sword and gun, have no control over others, life and death as well."
You deserve it. And what my uncle has to do at this time is to seize the time and use Saburo's identity and advantage here to implement the matter quickly. If it really drags on, there will be a big mess if Saburo is gone and the division can't be separated."
Huang Ping sighed, how could he not know that it was not only the Dangmo Guard and the Tieshan Guard who were pushed into a corner by his nephew and the general situation, but also himself?
After the decision was made, things became simple. Zhang Xing revealed his identity, and official news came that the Demon Guards had merged with the Gang. Coupled with Li Ding's previous performance... under the triple pressure, the entire Tieshan Guard immediately fell into disorder.
State, everyone came to see Zhang Xing one after another in shock and fear.
Zhu Siming's two sons came, but Zhu Mu himself did not come, but he asked deputy Siming to come with the excuse of poor health.
After Zhang Xing confirmed that Yuwen Wanchou had hurriedly left here and headed north, he didn't have any extra thoughts. He just focused on controlling the local situation step by step. This was in sharp contrast to the worries about gains and losses of Zhu and his son.
They just don't believe that this can be so simple, but they dare not make a big difference.
To be fair, if Zhang Xing really came as a defeated general as he joked with Chief Commander Yin Tianqi before, then he would definitely make trouble for the Zhu family and his son, and he would definitely put a lot of effort into thinking about how to exploit every opportunity and maximize the benefits.
.
It is impossible to say that he will stage a golden cone drama like the one he used against Chen Ling before.
But it’s different now, it’s really different. The snowball has started to roll. The gang’s regulations are really the same as those of Dong Qi before. It has such a large territory and is still being swept away. At this time, the matter of the Zhu family and his son
It's just a storm in a teapot... It doesn't matter whether he kicks over the teapot like Li Ding and kills them all, or picks up the teapot and puts it aside like Zhang Xing does now.
In fact, the result was smoother than expected. In the end, only four regiments made a fuss. However, because they sensed that the smell was wrong, two more regiment leaders came to see Chief Zhang alone before the third day.
Now there are only two battle groups left.
However, even though there were only two battle groups left, Chief Zhang still did not break his promise... On April 25, the army appeared at the border of Tieshan Guards as promised, and under the leadership of the big leader Liu Heifu, he did not break his promise...
Three battalions of troops decisively launched the attack.
Where do these two war groups still have the will to fight?
They were going directly to Benma City in the north, but one of them was intercepted by Bai Yousuo, who beheaded the leader of the group, and the other one was chased by Liu Heifu. The group dispersed, and he had no choice but to kill himself to apologize so that his subordinates could surrender.
There was no disturbance in the war.
Immediately, the army followed the plan, turned around and drove into the mountainous city of Tieshanwei. Under Zhang Xing's military order, they openly asked Tieshanwei to provide ordnance supplies, and asked all the leaders of the armed groups who came to see Chief Zhang to give unified orders and mobilize them.
The forces directly under the Iron Mountain Guard and the elite of the battle group are preparing to go north to join the battle.
At this time, there is no point in resisting, especially since the follow-up troops of the army are still advancing one after another, and as the news comes that the White Wolf Guard, another of the two guards in the three cities in the southern part of the Northland, has also joined the attack on Liucheng with a clear-cut stance,
This makes people lose even more desire to resist.
As a result, Zhang Xing did not stay long and set off south again.
This time, there were more people around. Niu He still stayed here to help control the situation, but Tabaiqi returned to Qin Bao's leadership and continued to serve as Chief Zhang's direct guard. Feng Changfeng recovered very quickly from his illness.
The document also took a part of the documents left here, and the staff accompanied him.
In addition, there was a guest named Zhu from Tieshanwei, not their two sons, but Zhu Siming himself. Under Zhang Xing's strong "suggestion", he set out to accompany him at this time, preparing to go to find a rich man to recuperate.
There were even Zhang Xing's cousin and nephew... Huang Ping asked because he was worried about a war in the North... Of course it was nothing, but Zhang Xing noticed something was wrong as soon as he got on the road, because many people were right
Chief Zhang's cousin and nephew have an ambiguous attitude. They not only pay attention to it, but also avoid it and are sensitive.
But I immediately realized... It's not about my cousin, but my nephew is the only next generation with whom I have a certain blood relationship. Especially considering that Zhang Xing himself has no other relatives, this is even more important.
But Manager Bai is also in the team.
Zhang Xing reacted, but didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, the children would indeed have a better education and environment when they arrived in Yecheng, so they couldn't push them back. The only confusion was that he suddenly realized a problem, that is, whether it was him or Bai You
Thinking about it, it seems that they have no definite pursuit of having children.
Is there something wrong between the couple, or something else? But why don’t others react much to this?
It seems, it seems, that many of my peers in the gang have no heirs?
It is said that the higher the cultivation level, the fewer heirs will be, but is this normal?
"There is something I want to tell you..." When we reached the intersection in front of Thudao Ridge, Li Ding, who had come from the direction of Liucheng, was already waiting here. Then he made a surprising statement on the roadside. "Shi Niang is pregnant."
, I have asked her to go back early."
Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi were obviously stunned.
Then, before congratulating her, Chief Zhang went into political animal mode: "This is a good thing. Let her go to Yecheng. It will be much easier for her to recommend you as the coach of the North during the meeting."
Li Ding was stunned for a moment. He didn't know if it was because he had a child. Although he was still sarcastic, his tone was much simpler: "I just kept her by my side. Don't you have the ability to push me to be the coach?"
Zhang Xingqian laughed, but then asked: "How come it has not bloomed for several years, but it bears fruit today?"
"Why do you think it is?" Li Ding said proudly. "Cultivation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it is difficult for those who cultivate to have children. What's more, we were born in troubled times. In the best of the past five or six years, we were running around all day long.
Staying in the military camp, spending less time together and more separation, that is, in the past six months, you forced the gang to rest for half a year, and then the leaders of the gang gave birth to some heirs..."
Zhang Xing thought for a while and felt that something was wrong.
Bai Yousi put it bluntly: "But according to the date, Shi Niang should have been conceived in Youzhou or even in Beidi. What does it have to do with the rest of the previous six months? What's more, it is true that others are traveling around to get together less and stay away more.
Mom is always by your side, why should you care so much?"
Li Ding was embarrassed for a moment.
Zhang Xing didn't care about this, but instead asked, "Have you ever chosen a name?"
"Are you kidding?" Li Ding was confused for a moment. "Both men and women don't know."
"If a boy is born, he will be called Wukong. If a daughter is born, she will be called Chenxiang." Zhang Xing thought for a while, but he couldn't say the word "Nezha" out loud. It's not a word.
"It's just Wukong, he still has some shadow of Confucianism, but what's agarwood?" Bai Yousi couldn't listen anymore. "How can a girl be named after spices?"
Zhang Xing could only nod: "Then my name is Li Zhenying."
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Ding was extremely helpless. "I came to you not to see you off, nor to say this, but it's just hard to hide... Chief Zhang, Zhang Sanlang, you entrust the north to me, there is a place
It seems important...Who are you going to hand over to Youzhou?"
Zhang Xing was awe-struck for a moment, but then asked: "Who do you think is better?"
Li Ding looked at Bai Yousi.
Zhang Xing immediately shook his head: "No, I won't hide it from you. I plan to let Sanniang be the marshal of the south."
Bai Yousi's expression remained as usual, as if the couple had discussed this matter.
"If that's the case, why did Sanniang come to Daxingtai to be the general manager? Instead of continuing to lead the army, he turned to the south?" Li Ding was slightly puzzled.
"Because the south is different from the north," Zhang Xing said solemnly. "The south is a feint attack, and the north is a real attack. There are soldiers from the Huaiyou Alliance in the south. We only need to use a small number of elites to attack specific cities and control the situation along the river.
Yes, there is a large army in the field in the north, killing with one blow. Therefore, let Sanniang first master the power similar to that of Jing'antai before, and at the same time, let you manage the Northland first and be prepared."
Li Ding thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if Sanniang goes south, it will definitely make Bai Hengqiu look sideways. Sanniang's cultivation is also suitable for use in the south."
Bai Yousi lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing whether he was thinking of his own life experience again.
At the same time, Zhang Xing nodded slightly and asked again: "Besides Sanniang, is there anyone else?"
"How about you let Xu Dalang stay in Youzhou?" Li Ding continued to ask. "Although he has some evil intentions, in terms of talent and ability, he is definitely a leader in the gang. Look at what happened in Liucheng, he provided extremely fast support.
, he settled down in Youzhou and helped me the most."
"First, I want to keep Xu Dalang as Marshal of the Central Army." Zhang Xing immediately shook his head. "Second, putting him in a local position may not be a good thing for him or the gang."
"Then... why don't you give Youzhou to me as well?" Li Dingtu saw it.
"No." Zhang Xing shook his head in reply. "Not only is the gang unable to agree, but more importantly, once Youzhou is assigned to you, Bai Hengqiu will be alert."
Li Ding was silent in response, and then nodded after a long while: "That makes sense... Then who are you going to arrange to come to Youzhou?"
"How is Dou Lide?" Zhang Xing stopped covering up.
"Doulide..."
"The good thing about Dou Lide is that he is good at handling relationships, and Youzhou is so big that there are not many people who can be transferred here..."
Li Ding finally had nothing to say: "Forget it, Dou Lide is better than Shan Tonghai..."
"When I return to Hebei, I will first meet with King Xiongtian, Xu Dalang, Dou Lide, and Hong Changya to get some fresh air and coordinate. These are the real core of the gang. I must respect their personal ideas before returning to Yecheng."
Zhang Xing thought for a while and gave the final reply. "But don't worry, all arrangements must obey our general strategy. I just want to use your heroic spirit, Li Silang, to decide the outcome. If Dou Lide doesn't come, I will
Bring Xiao Zhou here."
Li Ding sighed and could only nod: "You'd better keep your word... One last thing, you can't stay too long when you return to Yecheng. You need to send troops to support quickly. According to what you said before, I heard that before Taocheng
There is a big battle, the battlefield has been laid out, and I don't have enough troops."
"This is natural." Zhang Xing nodded. "The matter in the North will not be delayed until winter."
The two agreed and finally let them go.
This time, Zhang Xing entered Youzhou without any obstruction.
Arriving in Youzhou, he called Xu Dalang who was guarding Youzhou to say something and asked about the situation in Hebei... It was said to be an inquiry. In fact, Zhang Xing had only entered Beiland for a month, and there was no earth-shaking change anywhere. Even Hejian and Hebei
The personnel arrangements in Youzhou were not in place. The only major change was that Shan Tonghai entered northern Shanxi and joined forces with Hong Changya and Daying's troops to fight in the mountains, but there was no winner.
Of course, for the Gang, getting through northern Shanxi is a victory in itself.
So Zhang Xingfu sent out sentries from all over the place, and called on several key figures around northern Hebei, asking them to come and see them, but not to Youzhou, but to the residence of King Xiongbo Nanxiong on the way south.
It was also the post-war headquarters of the Xushui War Gang.
The larger team continued to move forward, and when they arrived there, it was already early May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, this place served as the post-war base camp for the previous battle, and many buildings were completed, surrounding the market where they had previously camped.
, even a bit of a city feel.
Due to the distance and the simplicity of the carriage, Dou Lide, Hong Changya, and Feng Wuyi had all arrived at this time, and only Tonghai was still stationed in Jin.
Zhang Xing met with several people, but he did not make any fuss, nor was he in a hurry to talk about business in public. Instead, he directly asked the three of them to return to the camp first. He took Bai Yousi with him first, and Xu Shiying and Xiong Bonan hurriedly explained
, it can be regarded as getting Xiong Bonan’s approval first.
Immediately, that night, they began to summon the three people in batches.
The one who saw it first was Dou Lide.
When Dou Lide came here, he saw a small courtyard under the starlight. Outside, there were all white cavalry. Qin Bao personally led the inspection, but inside there were only four people, Zhang, Xiong, Xu, and Bai. It reminded him that there was no rush in the day.
He shamelessly sent the three of them back, but his heart skipped a beat, knowing that it would be a big deal, so he cheered up so much that Chief Zhang even forgot to hand him a bowl of iced sour plum soup.
drink.
After delivering the sour plum soup, Zhang Xing got straight to the point: "Dou Longtou, go to Yecheng immediately. There is an impromptu meeting. We would like to ask you to transfer to Youzhou to Qixingtai after the meeting to serve as the military and political commander of Youzhou Xingtai.
.”
When Dou Lide, who was sitting on the noodle bench opposite, heard this, he was half relieved, but half hesitant.
He is relieved, naturally because Youzhou is in an important position and has a large territory. Compared with staying in Jiangling before, he will definitely go up. Moreover, he is also confident that he can sort out the complicated relationships in Youzhou, appease the local people, and even
These people gathered together and made progress together around him, Dou Longtou. But hesitation was also justified. Dou Longtou had been thinking about it for the past few months... The gang swept through Hebei like a tornado, and even now Beidi is also buying in large quantities. This kind of
Under such circumstances, is it really progress to continue to stay in the local area and be a stage commander in charge of several counties?
"Chief, Heavenly King, it stands to reason that Youzhou is very prosperous, so let me take charge of it because the chief trusts me." Dou Lide did not hesitate and directly put forward his idea. "But, I was originally from the Hebei Rebel Army, and I also worked in Hebei.
Leader, people in Daxingtai have been saying something to me, saying that I'm threatening Hebei Province to retaliate, and now I'm going to Youzhou. If I run the business for a long time, I'm afraid there will be more gossip... Chief, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm just afraid of being helped.
I dislike it, but if possible, I would like to go to Daxingtai to do something."
Zhang Xing nodded, but looked at Xu Shiying.
Xu Dalang spoke immediately, but said something seemingly irrelevant: "Dou Longtou, when we raised troops, we shouted to eradicate the violent Wei and stabilize the world. Now, it has actually been accomplished to eradicate the violent Wei, but we have not yet stabilized the world.
The Way of Heaven is also on its way, how do you think we can stabilize the world and how can we act on behalf of Heaven?"
Dou Lide was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "I think that as long as we can do justice for heaven, we can win over people's hearts and strengthen our strength, and by then we will naturally be able to stabilize the world."
"That's the truth, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about how to operate it specifically?" Xu Dalang couldn't help but laugh. "For example, the operation and arrangement of military strategy."
"Deputy Commander Xu will speak directly if he has something to say." Dou Lide was extremely helpless. He knew nothing about specific military operations. "I have always been hard-working in military affairs."
"To be honest with Dou Longtou, in fact, Chief Zhang, as a northerner, had a basic idea early on to deal with our biggest enemy, Bai Ying." In the slight breeze, Xu Dalang first pointed to the southwest. "Dongdu.
It is the source of the world, so we have to fight for it, and the Sima family is in the Eastern Capital. Although knowledgeable people know that sooner or later they will make wedding clothes for others, but Sima Zheng is so strong, the Eastern Capital is strong, and the grain reserves are deep, if we really fight for it.
, I am afraid that the blood will flow into the river, that I will be exhausted, and my life will hang on a thread... Therefore, what the chief means is that he will lead the people of Heji, with Daxingtai as the supplement, and it cannot be said to be a feint attack, but to waste it there and drag it down.
The only requirement of the two main forces, Sima Zheng and Bai Hengqiu, is that Bai Hengqiu cannot be allowed to take over Dongdu Tianyuan."
Dou Lide did not speak, but listened attentively and extremely seriously.
"Immediately, with Li Ding and Li Longtou as the leaders, we will gather the people from the north, supplement it with the economy of Hebei, cross the bitter sea, attack the witchland, and then go south to take Baiying's Ridge, then great things can be accomplished." Xu Shiying continued to say. "If
If necessary, you can also send a large general to go south, strangle the river, and go upstream to divide the Bai family's power... This is the so-called plan of taking the Eastern Capital openly and crossing the sea of suffering secretly!"
Doulide was stunned. His military vision did not allow him to judge the merits of this plan, but he soon realized that a strategic plan of this level was never a question of merit, but feasibility.
Just looking at the four people in front of me, they all seemed to agree.
Yes, this has been Zhang Xing's military strategic plan all along, from the initial accusation, to private discussions with Bai Yousi, to the inevitable executor Li Ding's approval, and then with Chen Bin, Xu Shiying, and Ma
Following the revelations from the three people around, Bai Yousi and Zhang Xing witnessed the war potential and objectively feasible geographical conditions of the Northland with their own eyes, and finally decided to spread the plan at the highest level.
In fact, there is nothing really surprising about this plan. Under this situation, the Eastern Capital must be fought over, but because of the existence of Sima Zheng, the battleground in the Eastern Capital is too hard, so hard that it is intimidating.
Can't give up yet.
So what else can be done?
The only thing we can do is to hold on to the eastern capital and find ways from the north and south directions.
The south is easy to say, not only the gangs will send generals south, but Bai Hengqiu will also send generals to bypass the river in an attempt to surround the Eastern Capital.
As for the north, of course, the north is to cross the Sea of Bitterness, borrow the witch land and then go south... However, so far, no one in this world has tried this route.
These people agreed before, essentially because there was no other way to go.
"Old Dou." Zhang Xing reminded him slowly upon seeing this. "Currently, only a few people here, Li Ding, Li Longtou, Chen Bin, and Manager Chen know about this strategy, and Manager Ma also knows a little bit about it. You are the eighth person to know about this strategy."
What do you think...?"
"If you want me to tell you how I can compare with the chief, Li Longtou, and deputy commander Xu, if you think it is feasible, then it is feasible." Dou Lide gritted his teeth and said. "So, the reason why I go to Youzhou is to do something for Li Longtou.
Cover and assist?”
"yes."
"Then I'm willing to go!" Doulide suddenly stood up. "What I'm afraid of is that I will be left vacant in the gang and won't be able to do my best. If I can be the main attack and support for the North Road, I will naturally do my best."
"Okay!" Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "As long as you say this... please invite Feng Gong and Hong Longtou."
Dou Lide was relieved and sat back down. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Xing what he would do with the Lingxing Terrace when he arrived in Youzhou? Who would take over? But when he glanced around, he found that the bench he was sitting on was opposite to the four people opposite him.
Seeing being summoned, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart, so I stood up and calmly squeezed onto Xu Dalang's stool diagonally across the street, pretending to be waiting to summon others.
It’s not too hot either.
After a while, Feng Wuyi and Hong Changya came over. When the latter sat down with an iced sour plum soup, he still felt strange why the stool under his butt was hot... Could it be that someone couldn't sit on it?
Seeing the two of them, Zhang Xing didn't have any extra courtesy. He got straight to the point and went straight to the point: "Hong Longtou, ever since Manager Bai and his delegation helped you start the incident, Northern Shanxi has always stood firm and considered itself a member of the gang. That day, Yuchi was sent to
Rong came to rescue, which is even more engraved in my heart, not to mention that you stayed in northern Shanxi and did not lose it for many years, which is really true... Now that the gang is connected with the inside, do you have any ideas? Should you go to Daxingtai in Yecheng to work, or continue to work in Daxingtai, Yecheng?
Local platform?"
Hong Changya knew that this was the proper meaning of the question, but he immediately stood up, saluted, and expressed his long-standing thoughts: "Chief Mingjian, the reason why we people started the uprising was because Bai Hengqiu was in power that day.
Because of the intolerance, northern Shanxi is vast, sparsely populated, and difficult to control. Instead of relieving disasters and famines, it has driven all of us, the so-called troubled people in Shanxi, away... Chief, no matter what, please keep us on the front line in Shanxi."
"Okay." Zhang Xing nodded. "How about coming to Wu'an?"
Hong Changya was stunned, and Feng Wuyi, who had not yet spoken, was also stunned.
"Wu'an Xingtai originally had three counties: Wu'an County, Xiangguo County, and Zhao County. Now I'm adding Hengshan County together with you. Please help me prevent and infiltrate Jin... How about it?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.
Hong Changya thought about it carefully and had nothing to say for a moment.
This is not just because the population, economy, and territory of this Xingtai are better than those of the three poor and incomplete counties in northern Shanxi. It is also not just because these three counties do meet the requirements of the front line against Shanxi and are close to his hometown.
, and more importantly, the establishment of this platform obviously serves as a protection for the entire essence of Hebei...On this basis, it cannot be said that there is any discrimination or distrust.
To put it bluntly, it is an acquisition, a merger, and I want to eat you, but the conditions are very good, and you have all the face... But if you trust me, what if you stay in northern Shanxi? Wouldn't it be easier?
After thinking about this, Hong Changya came to ask seriously: "If this is the case, may I ask Chief Zhang, where will Li Longtou be resettled, and who will take over in northern Shanxi?"
"Li Longtou will serve as the marshal of the north. Before the North is wiped out, this platform will be vacant. I have made an agreement with him." Zhang Xing said, looking at Xiong Bonan. "As for northern Shanxi, I want Xuzhou to
Zhou Xingfan, the deputy conductor of Xingtai, took over."
Xiong Bonan thought for a while and just nodded.
Of course Hong Changya knew that Zhou Xingfan was Zhang Xing's confidant, but he became more and more puzzled that the three counties in northern Shanxi were so poor and only guarded the sea of misery...
At this time, Zhang Xing seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, and Zhang Xing also smiled and said: "To be honest with Hong Longtou, I plan to let Zhou Xingfan get used to it, and then I will divide the area near the bitter sea in Youzhou and let him follow the example of Uncle Yu back then.
Text... By then, northern Shanxi will not only be the front line against Shanxi, but also the key to controlling the situation in northern Shanxi through the sea of suffering."
Hong Changya nodded immediately: "If Chief Zhang has this calculation, I have nothing to say and am willing to move the town."
Only then did Zhang Xing look at Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng, I would like to ask you to help Hong Longtou with the matters concerning Wu'an Xingtai."
Feng Wuyi was speechless.
At this point, things seemed to be in order, but Dou Lide still remembered the time when Jiang Ling visited the platform, so he asked seriously: "Chief, are there any arrangements for Jiang Ling's visit to the platform?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "There will no longer be a walking platform in Jiangling, nor in Jibei, nor in Hejian... Even in Wei County, there will be no walking platform. All these walking platforms far away from the front line will be evacuated, and then
It was unified and placed under the direct control of Daxingtai, and the military and political affairs were separated."
Dou Lide was startled and asked again: "But if this is the case, what will happen to the two leading figures, Chai and Wei, if they both join Daxingtai?"
"That's probably it." Zhang Xing spoke in a flash, and suddenly changed the subject. "Everyone, do you think that the regulations of this place and the newly recruited soldiers are enough to create a new county?"
"Yes." Xiong Bonan immediately responded. "I have told Dahangtai before that there are too many prisoners placed here, and the troop exchanges and material transportation have also taken care of this place. We can send people to take care of it.
...It is possible to create a new county."
"How about I come up with a name?" Zhang Xing took the sour plum soup and stood up and said to himself. "The three radiances are divided into the sun and the moon, which illuminate the heaven and the earth. The sun and the moon combine to become bright. It can be seen that the three radiances are bright... The Black Emperor only respects the people of heaven and earth. We
Future generations dare not do this, but still want to respect the four emperors in one day and two months. How about calling this place Xingming County?"
Everyone was still a little dazed, but first they felt the wind blowing around them, shaking the stars, and the twin moons above their heads, although they were not in the middle of the moon, were inexplicably brighter. Bai Yousi stood up suddenly.
At this time, Zhang Xing drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, and then raised the empty bowl to the moon: "Three radiances circulate, the Ming Dynasty ends and begins, and the four emperors divide their fields to ascend to the sky... Everyone, if you can make the best use of the opportunity for the heaven and earth to rotate, then I will
You are invincible tomorrow!"
Several people finally woke up, and Dou Lide felt a little heartache for no reason... What kind of ghost is Da Ming? He has to take advantage of Sanhui, how vulgar! He has already thought about it, how good it is to call him Daxia!
