Entering July, it is reasonable to say that the hottest period has passed, but I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but the entire Northland still looks hot amidst intensive military activities and busy government affairs.
Li Ding was in ruins, and even though he only had about twenty battalions, which were scattered over two-thirds of the entire Northland, he did not delay his attack on cities and territories, and on killing and annihilating tribesmen.
There is no way, the main force of the coalition forces has been destroyed, but it does not mean that the Northland will be stable. The civil strife of the Demon Guards is still spilling out. After the war, there are small-scale fleeing tribes and resistance teams everywhere, especially Mrs. Lu after the defeat of the coalition forces.
After assuming the posture of fighting to the death, it gave these people even more confidence.
At the same time, Zhang Xing was pacifying the defeated troops, dismembering large battle groups, transforming the garrison and demon guards into counties, and doing the most basic work of a political leader during this period - political commitment and political intimidation.
This anxious situation lasted for about half a month, and finally something changed as the army's follow-up reinforcements entered the Northland in large numbers.
The southern part of the Northland was the first to stabilize... Not only was the purple-faced king Xiong Bonan and the 30,000-strong army threatened, but also a large number of officials from the direction of Youzhou intervened. As a large number of organized troops crossed Luyeze, along the
As the west road of the Daxing Mountains continues to advance northward, the situation in the western part of the Northland will naturally stabilize quickly, which in turn will greatly deal a blow to the resistance forces within the Demon Guards in various places.
In late July, as Li Ding concentrated about twenty battalions of troops across Ice Marsh City and forced himself in front of the twin cities of Guanhai and Tingtao, the situation in the Northland finally calmed down temporarily on the surface.
However, the army did not launch a direct attack, but stopped there. It is not known whether they were concerned about the wealth and population of the largest city in the North, or were concerned about the political influence behind it.
On July 25th, Zhang Xing, the chief of the gang, and Bai Yousi, the general manager of the Jing'an Department, gathered with the leader Xiong Bonan and the big leader Wei Wenda. After arranging the follow-up troops and horses, they led the Tabai Cavalry directly to the north and arrived at Guanhai on the third day of August.
In front of the town, at this time, the military frontline had gathered a chief, two leaders, four masters, eight hundred strange scriptures, and twenty battalions of soldiers and horses, but still no attack was launched.
On the eighth day of August, everyone understood what was going on - Yin Tianqi, the chief commander of the Dangmo Guard, led three commanders, including Madam Lu's biological father Lu Dun, Qinglong Guard Commander Wu Jin, and White Wolf Guard Commander
Hei Yan, together with Jia Yue and Xu Jingzu, the liaisons who had stayed there before, rushed here together.
Obviously, if the gang wants to resolve this matter cleanly, they must first reach a political agreement and then use force to clear it out.
Frankly speaking, this feels like a bit of a gag. After all, we have fought and killed people before... Even if we look into it carefully, the Eight Gongs and Seven Guards of the North, the gang has so far encountered nine families, and ended up directly wiping out two guards.
He went to the Duke's door and killed a commander who temporarily retreated from the guard.
He ordered another commander to be placed under house arrest. Even the battle of Luyeze was the result of a defeat in one battle, but the battles, burnings, and other combat and non-combat casualties were enough to be called a sweep of the Wei Dynasty.
The largest battle loss since the Northland.
Full of violence.
As a result, now at the end, I am just pretending, which inevitably makes me look hypocritical.
The closed-door meeting took place in a warehouse by the Blackwater within the military camp. There were very few people present. On Zhang Xing's side, he was accompanied by Xiong Bonan, Li Ding, and Bai Yousi. On the opposite side was Da Siming and three others.
It was a simple and straightforward four-on-four battle. Jia Yue, who had been doing liaison work at Blackwater Guards before, led people outside to take charge of the garrison, while Xu Jingzu led people inside to record the situation.
"I have a word."
As the gang's first and staunchest ally in the North, as soon as he sat down, Hei Yan, one of the three commanders accompanying him, spoke before everyone else. "If you continue to kill indiscriminately in the North, we will
The people who fight against the Demon Guard are at odds with you... Don't think that it's just the death of an old man like Lan Dawen. Didn't we have three or four more here today? And even if the old man is dead, there will always be children.
Even if the coalition forces were completely defeated in Luyeze, there are still some war groups willing to help us go to Daxing Mountain. Even if you still bulldoze the Northland, we can still carve words on the stones to teach children to throw stones at you!"
These words were said with strong force and obvious resentment.
Unlike Liu Wenzhou who aired his grievances randomly before, Hei Yan definitely aired his grievances in the right place this time.
Li Ding didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but move his shoulders in his seat. Xiong Bonan's face turned red, and then he couldn't help but look at Zhang Xing and Li Ding, wanting to know what was going on. Not that the situation was great.
, can we completely solve the problem if we unite together?
Why do allies turn against each other when they come up?
Zhang Xing, who was seen, actually laughed dryly in embarrassment, and then admitted: "Hei Gong is absolutely right. Li Ding is just a war commander, not a benevolent king. Everything he does has military consequences."
For consideration, it is not enough to appease people's hearts...Lan Siming committed suicide, but we did not stop him, and Zhu Siming and his two sons were fighting, and we did not control the situation. I am really ashamed."
Hei Yan sneered on the spot, but had no answer.
To put it bluntly, Li Ding did indeed do a lot of seemingly cruel things, the most obvious one being that two garrison houses were allowed to exterminate their families. But the problem is that when Li Ding killed Mr. Lu Ye’s family, Hei Yan knew about it, and
He didn't show any dissatisfaction; he later killed Duke Liucheng... Everyone knew that the White Wolf Guards where Heiyan was located were old enemies with Liucheng, so I'm afraid he didn't have much opinion.
So why does Hei Yan have a fit when he comes?
Of course it's because in the month after Chief Zhang broke up with Hei Siming, the army disbanded two Demon Guards one after another, and one Lan Siming died, and one Zhu Siming was taken away under house arrest, and even now there are
A Qinglong Guard has been completely surrounded, and all the attached battle groups have been dismembered. At this time, Wu Siming of the Qinglong Guard is sitting next to him. If he doesn't lose his temper, if the Qinglong Guard is gone, Dang
Even if the Seven Demon Guards continue to follow the gang, I'm afraid they will have to change their name to the Fourth Demon Guard first.
This loss is heartbreaking, and makes people even more worried about the future of Demon Guard within the gang.
However, Zhang Xing also answered directly. Lan Dawen was seeking his own death, and Zhu Siming was the result of the infighting between his two sons, which triggered strong dissatisfaction within the Tieshan Guards. The demise of these two guards should not be blamed on the gang.
Since Hei Yan was at a loss for words, Chief Commander Yin Tianqi simply said: "Chief Zhang, I know you have not violated our previous agreement. It is because you are progressing too fast and we are consumed by it, but you should also know that between us,
It's a merger, not a annexation. We have such big losses now, you can't block us with these verbal things..."
You should have said so earlier!
"What Da Siming said is absolutely true." Zhang Xing said sincerely. "Then what kind of compensation does the Demon Guard want?"
What kind of compensation can I ask for? The previous conditions were fair enough, okay? Now I am just worried that the gang will be successful, and with that "Mighty Phoenix" in hand, I am ready to take advantage of the situation to usurp the actual manpower and power of the Demon Guard, and then turn against me.
I recognize you, so why don’t you give me a warning?
Therefore, Yin Tianqi also choked.
After a while, Wu Siming was the most helpless and anxious, and said directly: "What kind of compensation can I ask for at this time? I don't know from other places. We Qinglong Guards have to ask for an explanation first. We can't directly change the county now. We have to wait until the east rebels."
Calm down, the commander-in-chief gives an order to make changes together, including
Including our affiliated war group, we cannot move. Chief Zhang, you have quickly dismantled one-third of our vassal war group in Galloping Horse City for more than half a month, and the remaining one-third was slaughtered by Li Longtou...
They are not only soldiers, they are also the foundation for us to transport food and salt and run our industry."
"It's my fault." Zhang Xing immediately nodded and admitted his mistake. "I'm extremely ashamed. I can make this guarantee, but Wu Siming wants to guarantee his position. We are fighting now. We don't expect the Qinglong Guard to send troops immediately, but at least we can't harbor the opponent.
They can't stop us from pursuing and fighting... They hit us for no reason, so we can't fight back, right?"
Wu Siming was relieved: "Of course."
Hei Yan and Yin Tianqi looked at each other, both of them were full of helplessness... They had discussed it when they came here, and the mouths of the four of them together were probably no match for Zhang Xing, especially Lu and Wu.
They all have their concerns, but it is a bit too much to be taken advantage of by the other party so quickly.
After looking at each other, Heiyan had no choice but to follow: "Not only the Qinglong Guards, but also the other Demon Guards, you can no longer interfere. No matter how slow our internal progress is, we must be ready and give it to you.
For a specific answer, we will give you a list before we start to transform counties into counties, including battle groups, and you cannot touch them for the time being."
"I think it's okay." Zhang Xing said seriously. "But we have to have a rough deadline. Otherwise, what if you delay it for a hundred years?"
"How about three years?" Da Siming thought for a while and asked. "If everything goes well, after the matter is over, the changes will be completed within three years?"
Zhang Xing glanced at Li Ding, who immediately shook his head.
"Two years." Zhang Xing turned back and looked at Da Siming. "If everything goes well...or simply, we deal with the resistance in front of us, go to Tianchi and come back, then the Demon Guards should fulfill their contract within two years.
Moreover, from the time he comes back from Tianchi, we must unconditionally support Li Longtou militarily and let him organize a large army here on the West Road... This army is our biggest and final back-up force in fighting Bai Hengqiu for the Eastern Capital.
With nothing to worry about, we seize the day."
"Okay, then two years." Da Siming's heart moved slightly, but he also became solemn. "The key is that you have to go to Tianchi first and complete what you agreed on... Then everything will be easy to talk about."
"This is natural." Zhang Xing responded solemnly. "But Da Siming, I want to remind you that the key to the matter is mutual. The thing we did when we climbed to Tianchi Lake was the core condition for the merger of the Demon Guards with us. But
On the other hand, if you want to climb to Tianchi and do that, you need to have no hidden troubles here in the North, and you need to give us full support. Otherwise, how can our gang dare to bring the best of the gang to do it for the demon guards?
This kind of thing? Moreover, these two things cannot be simply prioritized. It cannot be said that the True Dragon Supreme is involved in Tianchi, so it overrides everything else. Our help in going to Tianchi is essentially for the safety of the North, don't you think?
"
The atmosphere in the simple military tent seemed a bit tense. Xu Jingzu was probably the only person who didn't know what it meant to do what he did when he climbed to Tianchi, but he must have made a guess. At this time, he just kept recording, while Jia Yue kept looking back, wanting to
He stopped talking, and the others were silent for a while, not knowing how to continue.
"Actually." Bai Yousi had always had an onlooker's perspective and broke the silence at this time. "Speaking of the current trouble, my opinion is that before I promised to destroy the two dragon heads of the Demon Guard, it is best to put both dragon heads in the north.
Land, one on the east road and one on the south road. This will help the people under the Demon Guards to understand, and it will also help the stability of the north. But in the city in front of us, there are still people who want a dragon head..."
This feels a bit like sowing discord, but it is used without any thought. Whether the effect is good or not is one thing, but it can take effect quickly.
"So, are you determined to annex the entire west in order to gain a foothold?" Lu Dun asked with a frown.
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhang Xing said seriously. "There are only three parts of the Northland. We have to establish a foothold in one of them, and for the remaining two, of course we have to give priority to the Demon Guards who are also members of the same family... The problem now is that we
There is no reason not to give the leading position to the demon guards who took the initiative to merge, but to give it to the head of the garrison who raised troops to fight against us... Otherwise, the people will not be convinced! Even if you are willing to give in, we will still have to worry about this issue!"
Lu Dun was silent for a moment, then asked slowly: "But as far as I know, although Wan'er has asked for the identity of a dragon head, she is still willing to leave the North. Doesn't this delay things?"
"Mrs. Lu's original words were that if she left the Northland, she would need to ensure the view of the sea in front of her. Tingtao Second Town would not make any changes within three years, but in this case, Li Longtou would only have one Galloping Horse City to establish a foothold in the Northland.
, how to summon and train the entire Northland army?"
Lu Dunfu frowned again.
"Liu Wenzhou and Ice Swamp City..." Hei Yan thought about something.
"Not to mention that one code is one code, but I have to say that Ice Swamp City has always been barren, and it is only 11 of the two cities in front of me. It is not enough to support my military preparations." Li Ding finally couldn't help but speak.
According to the instructions before the meeting, Zhang Xing was not allowed to open his mouth.
"Besides, this is not a matter of support or not." Bai Yousi also added. "You commanders should know that Mrs. Lu is the actual backstage of the Northland Allied Forces that raised troops to fight against us. If she wants to keep the Second Town in her hands, then
Within these three years, those who oppose us will have a base that they can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. They can avoid our pursuit and have money.
Replenishing the supply of food and soldiers... When we made the previous agreement, our chief said, 'How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?', and her condition is that we sleep soundly on the bed, and they have knives lurking beside us... This kind of
In this situation, even a child may succeed in stabbing Ningdan, but who dares to let it go? Even if you all act as guarantees, we won't accept it."
Several commanders looked a little ugly and remained silent.
"Besides, when it comes to Liu Wenzhou, I also want to tell you clearly about him... I have already met him, and I also know that he does have some tricks, which is necessary for us to go to Tianchi." Zhang Xing
He also continued speaking. "But
The evil things this person did are also a bit outrageous. I will deal with it myself after it is done. Please keep it in mind... On the other hand, before it is done, you must try to flatter him first. You guys who are the Demon Guards are not easy to flatter.
I also pretended to be helpless."
The two sides were stunned for a moment, each nodded, and then continued to remain silent together.
However, the side of the gang held their heads high, while the side of the Demon Guards was obviously the side that kept their heads down... This is the role of military strength. The mighty phoenix never spoke, and even today everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.
But it still played a huge role.
Of course, the Demon Guards must be united and included in the gang, and they cannot be left alone like this.
After a moment, Zhang Xing spoke helplessly: "Everyone, I understand, there is actually no big problem between us. The main reason is that we are progressing too fast and you are flustered. Of course we are willing to guarantee you, but you seem to want to
By retaining the power of the garrison as a buffer
Chong, there will be no room for maneuver for the provincial demon guards in the future... Then let's be more frank and talk directly about Madam Lu and the two towns of Guanhai Tingtao... We must get the twin towns, and we cannot shake this.
Mrs. Lu can be the leader, but she has to leave the Northland, how about that?"
Lu Dun sighed: "Is this the final condition?"
"yes."
"Then let me ask one more question. If Wan'er doesn't respond, will you attack immediately?" Lu Dun asked.
"I will only tell the truth in front of you." Zhang Xing's answer was unexpected. "It stands to reason that the troops are in place, including four of us, the Grand Master. It's even autumn, so there is no reason not to take action... But if
You strongly objected, and we said we would not discuss it further because we were in conflict with the demons
Compared with the Wei merger, Mrs. Lu is actually not worth mentioning; the only trouble is that Mrs. Lu threatens us, she retreats to Tingtao Pavilion to erect a tower, and tries her best to delay us for a year... Then we can't
Don’t fight desperately to get rid of her, so as not to cause trouble behind you when we go to Tianchi.”
"If that's the case, I can actually take care of it for you..." Da Siming suddenly interjected. "You don't have to worry about the empty space behind you when you go up to Tianchi."
"If that's the case, we can only deal with her desperately." Zhang Xing suddenly emphasized in a loud voice. "Because if it comes to that, she will be determined to become an enemy of our gang.
Now it’s no longer a matter of settling accounts and calculating interests... In other words, if we really want to calculate interests, killing her is the most important thing! On the contrary, the matter of going to Tianchi can be postponed for a year or two."
Yin Tianqi finally shut up.
After a while, Lu Dun suddenly stood up: "I'll go to the city to meet her!"
After saying that, he actually left the camp directly and went outside. In the empty warehouse, no one got up and just watched him leave.
On the other side, Lu Dun left the riverside town occupied by his gang. He didn't ride a horse or take a car. He just walked down the coast. He didn't walk fast or slowly. When he left the warehouse, the sun was already very far in the west, but before dark,
Then we entered Guanhai Town, then crossed the bridge in the middle in the dark, arrived at Tingtao Town, then turned to the promontory of Tingtao Town that extends into the sea, and entered Tingtao Pavilion. The road was smooth the whole way.
This is of course, not to mention that he is Mrs. Lu’s biological father, otherwise, who would stop a Demon Guard Commander at this time?
They were having a meal in the Tingtao Pavilion. When Mrs. Lu saw her own father coming over, she didn't make any big noise. She just asked the maid to get the food and told the maid to put more vinegar in the fish soup.
Lu Dun didn't say anything. He ate cakes and soup, a large bowl of fish soup, and finished all four cakes. He raised his head and saw that his daughter had already packed it up and was sitting upright, waiting for him. Instead, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to turn to Li Qingzhou: "Bring Yuwen Wanchou."
Li Qingzhou turned around and left. After a moment, he brought someone to the dining room. It was Yu Wen Wanchou who had volunteered to persuade him to surrender a few days ago. However, this defector immediately said what he wanted to say for Lu Dun:
"Madam, don't bother anymore. If you don't follow this trick, if you continue like this, we will both die together. I have witnessed the majesty of the phoenix with my own eyes. It is a real dragon... Da Siming announced the merger before, and I still
I felt that the gang was very clever and could make a huge difference. We people were really aggrieved. Only that night did I realize that the gang had really become a trend. If this happened, it would only be a year less.
matter."
Mrs. Lu's face remained as usual. After hearing this, she just waved her hand: "I understand what you mean. Now a new envoy has arrived. You don't need to say anything more. This is the end of our relationship. We have broken all ties. You can go back!"
When Yuwen Wanchou heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He lost control on the spot and knelt down. He burst into tears for a while, but could not say a word.
Mrs. Lu looked upset and waved her hand again: "Yuwen, you are good at everything, but you are too emotional, dull, and cry easily. Forget it here, but don't cry anymore when you get there."
, I will be looked down upon by those who help me.”
When Yuwen heard this, he cried even more sadly.
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to wave her hand again, and then Li Qingzhou stepped forward to pick up the other person, pushing him out with his pear blossoms and rain.
After the man left and before he spoke again, a wave suddenly surged in the North Sea outside, and the sea breeze poured into the Taoist Pavilion. The entire stone fortress suddenly roared... The father and daughter turned their heads together and took advantage of the opportunity.
Come and listen to the sound of waves.
However, the waves must rise and fall, and after a while, they eventually calmed down.
The father and daughter were far apart in front of the stone table. They were silent for a long time. After all, it was Lu Dun who was the father who spoke: "Wan'er, we haven't spoken to each other in eight or nine years, right?"
"Not that long, only six years and three months..." Mrs. Lu responded. "At that time, I killed the entire family of Ningyuan Gong in Guanhai Town across the river and kept this child as my adopted son. My father came to find me and disliked me for killing.
It was too heavy, and we had a big quarrel, but before that, about ten years ago, I asked the Grand Commander to attend the ceremony, and forced my way to the Tianchi Lake became an option, and my father was furious and refused to recognize me from then on."
"Yes, I came here six years ago to have a quarrel with you." Lu Dun looked more and more struggling. "Wan'er, your name is Wan, but you have been wild-tempered since you were a child. Things about cultivation, what happened to Du Lang back then, and later
And the matter of getting married on your own is all your decision. Even if you choose something, I can't stop you, let alone you have become a prince and want to interfere with you..."
"Dad is still angry." Mrs. Lu responded quietly.
"It's not resentment." Lu Dun paused and choked up. "It's because I feel sorry for you... Your mother passed away early, and I just scolded and beat you. If I hadn't been too harsh and separated from you, you would have been too."
You don't know how to make decisions on your own, and you don't want to rely on me at all, so that you are in today's situation... I think about it now, no matter where it was back then, as long as I followed your wishes, what would happen later? Especially Du.
Lang died on the front line..."
Mrs. Lu's eyes were already animated, but only for a moment. When she heard this, she interrupted directly: "If you say this, dad is too self-righteous. I have been independent and independent, and step by step to where I am today is all my wishful thinking.
Why should I blame my father? My two husbands, and even my own death in battle, had nothing to do with my father! Not to mention, I have not regretted it at all until today. The result in the future will be death at most. I, a widow, have nothing to do with my father.
If the son is not his biological son, how could he be afraid of death? Who should he blame? It would be ridiculous."
"You have your own thoughts. Now that I know I am wrong, how can I argue with you again?" Lu Dun looked sad. "I came here today just to tell you that my father has been wrong for many years...that's all."
.”
After saying this, Lu Dun couldn't hide his sadness. Tears fell like rain for a while, but he couldn't even hide his face.
Mrs. Lu, who had previously scolded Yu Wen Wanchou for crying and losing his influence, did not react at all at this time and just sat there blankly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sea breeze picked up again and the waves became chaotic again. Lu Dun, whose tears had dried up, finally recovered and finally got up. However, he used his last bit of strength to remind: "The gang is willing to let you make the dragon head, but you have to hand it over first."
These two towns... If the Demon Guards try their best to stop them, they can delay it for a winter, but the gang is determined. If it really slows down for a winter, there will be no change in the end... Wan'er, if you really can't calm down, just run away.
You can't go head-to-head, there are all the masters out there."
After saying that, the person finally stood up supporting the stone table and left.
Just like when he came, no one stopped Lu Dun when he left. He walked from Tingtao Pavilion to Tingtao City, crossed the river, entered Guanhai Town, then left the city, and went upstream. At the third watch of the day,
Then he returned to the military camp... Li Ding had gone to rest early, but the other people who had been meeting during the day were still there. Everyone gathered in the warehouse. After listening to Lu Dun's detailed account of his trip experience, he couldn't help but feel sad, but there was nothing he could do about it.
, they all left, saying that they would wait for the reaction in the city tomorrow or the next day before conducting military discussions.
Walking out of the warehouse and heading to the resting place, under the dim starlight, Zhang Xing, who was still immersed in Mrs. Lu's past experiences, saw Jia Yue who was obviously disappointed. He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, then waved and called Xu Jingzu, and was separated by
After hearing this, Xu Jingzu, who had been promoted to the leader, immediately followed up as quietly as a cat.
That night was silent. The next day, Jia Yue couldn't help but be busy after he got up from his camp. He didn't return to his camp for a long time. There were many things to know, such as the casualties, whether there were retirements and promotions in the army, and whether Li Ding used his troops fairly.
The straight-knife battalion and so on... After some calculations, it's actually okay. The main reason is that Li Ding used the straight-knife battalion as the main force for the final assault in several battles. The troops were generally satisfied with this. The only trouble was that
, it is true that many officers have left. There is a shortage of officers in various places in Hebei and in the southern part of the Northland. These mid-level officers, including senior officers, are the best choices.
In this way, after struggling for a whole day, Jia Yue managed to organize the affairs of the camp and met the new officers. However, he then thought that he would probably stay in the Northland after the Northland was safe in the future, and he might not be able to manage the army.
I was a little anxious; when I thought about the thing again, I didn't know whether it could be done, and whether many sons and daughters would lose their lives for it, which made me even more uneasy; finally I thought about the situation in front of me, Mrs. Lu had also chosen it, but she was stubborn to this point.
He didn't reply for a day. He was afraid that he would be seeking his own death and would also affect the overall situation of the Northland, which would inevitably make him even more irritated.
Of course, the most hateful thing is this feeling of powerlessness. Thinking back to the time when my family had become the chosen one, and I could steal my life by killing people, I thought I could dominate the world. I went to Hebei by boat with Zhang Xing, and I really encountered troubled times, but really
When you kill people, you know that this is not an easy task... Jia Yue thought that he could ignore the struggles, shouts and eyes of the dead people and concentrate on making a straight knife, but it turned out to be very difficult.
The reappearance of Zhang Xing a few years later was more like rescuing him than convincing him.
He simply couldn't imagine what would have happened to him in that chaotic world without Zhang Xing - he became possessed and was killed by real heroes like Bai Sanniang and Xiong Tianwang, who were able to eliminate harm for the people.
?Otherwise?
However, understanding leads to understanding, or it is precisely because he understands his previous ignorance, Jia Yue becomes more and more unable to give up this identity. He is more and more eager to prove the value of this Black Emperor... Going to Tianchi is certainly a good way, even
It can be called the ultimate method, but isn’t it the same for peacefully unifying the North? The same is true for unifying the world with a gang that has the color of the North!
At this time, Mrs. Lu, who was also selected, dealt with the problem in such an emotional way, which inevitably reminded Jia Yue of his original self, feeling sad for his misfortune and angry at him for not acting rightly.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to the door and asked, "Master Jia, do you have time? Xiao Ke has something to ask."
Jia Yue frowned slightly. Of course he knew who was coming. The only person who could freely come in and out of the military camp full of soldiers and horses at this time and come to the core of the camp where he lived to ask questions directly could only be the leader, and this leader
, or someone he is familiar with, that is, Xu Jingzu, who had stayed in Shenxian Cave to assist him in liaison.
Logically speaking, the two of them could be considered to have a revolutionary friendship, but in fact, Jia Yue instinctively disliked this person, just like a dog dislikes a cat.
It's just that they belong to the same category, so it's hard to exclude them.
Xu Jingzu entered the occupied room, looked at the other party's expression, and then found a small stool in front of the table and placed it on the side of the other party's desk. He sat down and asked: "Chief Jia, I take the liberty to ask, do you think so too?"
Will Mrs. Lu not come?"
Jia Yue nodded.
"Then if this is the case, does Chief Jia feel it is a pity?" Xu Jingzu moved the small stool under his buttocks and took a step closer to the table.
Jia Yue nodded again.
"Then why is it a pity?" Xu Jingzu continued to take a step closer.
Jia Yue leaned back slightly to avoid the approaching opponent, frowned and said: "What should have been a happy event for everyone ended up with many casualties because of my unrealistic ambition. Of course it is a pity."
"Actually, let me tell you, it's not only a pity for the overall situation, but also for Mrs. Lu herself." Xu Jingzu stopped moving the stool, and instead leaned back and smiled. "Because Mrs. Lu must have been moved last night... It's human nature.
, How can anyone be so sincere and unwavering as my own father? It’s just that my heart is blocked and I can’t calm down.”
"That's true." Jia Yue was silent for a moment, nodding his head in approval again and again. "That's why it's even more of a pity."
"If Chief Jia feels it's a pity, can we think of a way to help Mrs. Lu survive this moment?" Xu Jingzu leaned forward again.
Jia Yue did not give in this time, but frowned and asked seriously: "You mean to give her a step? But it's not like you don't know the temper of the chief, and you won't give up a single cent regardless of status or practicality...
In fact, we all know very well that it is a pity that Mrs. Lu
, but what does she mean in front of our entire gang? I asked clearly in the army today that even the army was not satisfied with Lu Yeze’s sudden large-scale pardon after the war. Under such circumstances, how could they do anything special for her?
As a special agent, and also as a leader, he still needs to be independent?"
"Chief Jia, I'm talking about taking this breath, not saying that I took this breath for her." Xu Jingzu listened patiently, half-smiling. "If you think about it, Mrs. Lu's heart has actually been touched by Lu Siming.
If you stabbed her weakly, no matter what method you use, as long as you pass this superficial level, it doesn’t matter how you deal with it later... Why are you just thinking about being soft to her?"
"Boss Xu, if you have an idea, you might as well tell him first." Jia Yue finally took the initiative to lean his ear towards him.
"The idea is very simple. I ask Grand Master to go to the city tomorrow just like Lu Siming did last night, just to persuade Mrs. Lu... After entering the Taoist Pavilion and in front of Mrs. Lu, the Grand Master stretched out his hand and grabbed her.
, just take the person away!" Xu Jingzu lowered his voice and said absurdly. "You don't even need to go back to the camp, just take him back to the Immortal Cave and take care of him."
"Absurd!" Jia Yue was stunned, and then immediately took action.
"This kind of thing is ridiculous. Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have used masters to coerce the other party's lord in order to make concessions on contracts." Xu Jingzu spoke sincerely.
Jia Yue was stunned again, still puzzled: "In that case, why didn't the chief use such a strategy? And why didn't you directly advise the chief?"
Xu Jingzu laughed dryly and tried his best to answer: "The reason is very simple and sufficient... First of all, we and Mrs. Lu are our enemies, so we have to be careful when we go to other people's homes. However, the position of the Demon Guard is both neutral and embarrassing. Going there will be the opposite."
Everyone thinks it's reasonable, and no one will be on guard; secondly, we just have a lot of grandmasters here, and people will be alert when there are more people there. This kind of thing can be done easily by a grandmaster; thirdly, this kind of thing is a trick after all
, whoever uses it will waste his credit, and the chief is trying to win over the people of the North and would rather fight a war than use this trick, so how can I suggest that we do it?"
Jia Yue nodded repeatedly: "That's the reason. It's the same reason why I say it's ridiculous... We all know that this will cost everyone's credit, don't they know that?"
"Of course the Demon Guards also know that." Xu Jingzu continued to smile. "But, isn't this Lan Siming's love for his daughter? Isn't it that the Demon Guards are in civil strife and want the situation to be stable? Isn't it seven commanders, one
One of them is dead. One of them was invited by the chief to drink sour plum soup in Yecheng. Another one, Lu Siming, can’t hold on. Can’t Da Siming accept it? The Demon Guards are more anxious than us to peacefully resolve the matter in the North. At the very least,
They are even more anxious about Mrs. Lu, otherwise they wouldn't have come in such a hurry."
Jia Yue was thoughtful and seemed to be shaken.
And Xu Jingzu also continued: "As for why I came to see Chief Jia, it is actually because only Chief Jia can easily find Da Siming about this matter... Don't use the identity and name of our gang, just say that you are from the north.
The Black Emperor chooses his identity and goes to see Da Siming, saying that he can’t bear to see the Black Emperor choose to kill each other, and then declares the interests and harms."
Jia Yue suddenly stood up, bowed his hands to Xu Jingzu who had not yet had time to stand up, walked around from the other side of the case, and pushed the door directly.
The night is like a forest, and I don't know the outcome for a while.
Just say that on the second day, a large military meeting was held in the army. The leaders of both sides included the leaders of the army. Chief Zhang made inquiries first. The leaders of the army below spoke individually, but they were almost unanimous. They all believed that the war should be started as soon as possible to avoid delay.
Entering winter.
However, some of the big leaders suggested waiting for a few days to see if the Qianjin Cult Master could be invited from the south. If the Qianjin Cult Master could arrive, then even if Mrs. Lu forced the tower to be erected, she would not be afraid.
Please save me from Qianjin Cult Master.
Zhang Xing was used to raising his hands. After listening, he naturally asked everyone to raise their hands together. He also suggested that Da Siming and the three Simings raise their hands together to get used to it first.
However, after listening for a long time, Da Siming suddenly stood up and stopped raising his hands.
"Chief Zhang, Lu Siming didn't make the date clear yesterday. We are making decisions now, which seems not sincere." Yin Tianqi spoke erratically. "I will go to the city again today to give some advice and make it clear that the deadline is tomorrow. If we don't surrender, there will be no surrender."
I’ve said it… there’s no rush to make decisions until tomorrow.”
Zhang Xing was overjoyed: "It would be great if Da Siming went there in person. It's only for one day, so it doesn't matter."
Yin Tianqi received the answer, but stood still in the hall, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing bit the bullet and asked, "What else can Yin Longtou say?"
"I'm going into the city. It's a bit dangerous after all. There's something I want to ask Chief Zhang to discuss first." Yin Tianqi seemed to be a little flinched. "I don't have time to worry about it."
Zhang Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he had been seen through, but he had no choice but to nod: "Young Master Yin, feel free to tell me."
"According to the previous discussion, Chief Zhang is planning to add Guanhai Tingtao Second Town to the west and put it under the jurisdiction of Li Longtou, right or wrong?"
"yes."
"And Li Longtou wants to be stationed in Benma City?"
"yes."
"Are these two towns divided into two counties?"
"It's not necessary. It doesn't matter if we divide it into a large county." Zhang Xing had already guessed what the other party was thinking.
"If it becomes a large county, this county will not have May Day in Beidi, but it will also have the essence of July Day... I wonder who Chief Zhang plans to use as the county guard?"
"Originally I wanted to use Lao Shen..."
"Who is this person?"
"It is a group of elites with seniority. Before the Battle of Lishan, when Tabaiqi was a temporary gathering of white knights, he was already a Dharma protector and a master of magical scriptures. Now he has served as team general, county magistrate, and deputy camp general many times.
The cavalry general, Lu Yeze, even succeeded in condensing the elixir after the war, and I am about to use him as the county guard in the north so that I can promote him as the leader."
"This resume leaves people speechless." Yin Tianqi was silent for a moment, but he still raised his hand and asked. "But in the beginning of Beidi, for the sake of local stability, can someone from Beidi be replaced as the county guard? In reality,
"Sir, I think the Northland governors and county magistrates should have more people from the Northland in the first three years."
Zhang Xing thought carefully for a moment and gave an answer: "The new county that was restructured from the second town of Guanhai Tingtao can allow Chief Jia Da to concurrently serve as deputy commander, but I don't think we need to worry about the selection of other local officials.
... People from the North move out, and people from outside come to the North. This is the way to integrate everyone as soon as possible... At worst, let more people from the North go south to Hebei to become officials."
Yin Tianqi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, if I go here, even if something goes wrong, I can give some explanation to the people in the North."
After saying that, the great master actually handed over his hands to the gang leaders who were surrounding him with expressions of astonishment. Everyone stood up in shock. Then, regardless of everyone's astonishment, he directly put on a black fur cloak and strode out.
Zhang Xing personally led everyone out of the meeting shed, and watched the other party leave the camp and go north along the Heishui River. He couldn't help but look around, and said for a moment: "Everyone, just these few words from Yin Gong, what if he did something surprising during this trip?"
I'm afraid people in the world will think it was me who instigated it."
When everyone heard this, not only were they not relieved, but they became even more shocked and suspicious.
And this kind of suspicion soon became further fermented as Zhang Xing personally ordered all ministries to be on standby.
Of course, this didn't last long.
At noon, as the entire army, including countless people in the opponent's sister city, exclaimed, under the sun, the Heishui River, which can be called the mother river of the North, suddenly came to life, winding out of thin air above Guantao Town. "
"Tributary of the Flying River", if Heishui is regarded as a dragon, this flying river in the sky seems to be his head and neck sticking out... Even considering the length of the Blackwater River, it is more extreme, like a tongue sticking out.
Not to mention, this tongue just touched the Taoist Pavilion, rolled up a huge green hosta in the air, and then seemed to retract, in full view of everyone, and quickly went upstream against the black water.
.
Zhang Xing's ability to sense Qi is comparable to that of a master. He clearly felt that at this moment, not only the flying river was filled with weak water Qi, but also the entire Blackwater River was actually filled with some Qi rolling continuously.
, there is no end in sight at all.
This method is outrageous even for the Grand Master!
In other words, he is worthy of being a great master with the supreme support behind him!
Of course, he was not impressed. He even saw with his own eyes that Da Siming wrapped Mrs. Lu's hands and wrists with a black cloak and flew against the black water.
It disappeared all of a sudden.
After a few breaths, Lu Siming suddenly collapsed to the ground outside the wooden shed, where he was stunned. Zhang Xing pushed Li Ding.
War Commander Li reacted without hesitation and ordered the entire army to launch a general attack on the first and last pair of twin cities in the North according to the planned plan.
In the evening, Chief Zhang actually entered the Tao Ting Pavilion.
