"Who is this person?" In the lobby made of pure stone, Zhang Xing, who occupied the central stone throne, asked the person next to him in confusion.
Xu Jingzu, a confidential document standing on one side, quickly answered: "Former Duke Mu of the Wei Dynasty..."
"Oh, I remembered. I will pardon him as a civilian and give him a living... Are you going to go back to Chang'an? It's called Chang'an now... Or are you going to Hebei to find your cousin's family?" Zhang Xing remembered who it was after hearing this.
.
"The guilty minister doesn't want to leave anymore." Cao Cheng, the former Duke of Mu, had a strange expression, like crying and laughing at the same time. It seemed that he didn't know what expression to use to face the army and Zhang Xing. "If the guilty minister can survive,
It’s already a big deal, I just want to stay where I am and live a peaceful life.”
"Okay." Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "I will arrange a house for you in Guanhai City on the other side of the river. You can support yourself from now on. If you are too lazy to starve to death in the future, it has nothing to do with us."
Cao Cheng bowed down, kowtowed heavily on the stone floor in the lobby of Tingtao Pavilion, stood up, and then remembered something, and asked again: "The guilty minister has the temerity to ask you, what should I do with Mrs. Lu?"
?”
"Mrs. Lu was taken away by the Demon Guard's Chief Siming, and I can't deal with her." Zhang Xing replied sincerely. "However, I think the reason why Chief Siming did this is to avoid the destruction of both the jade and the stone."
"That's good, that's good." Cao Cheng nodded repeatedly, completely relieved, then kowtowed again and left directly.
Even a bit chic.
Thinking about it carefully and going around and around, it is indeed admirable that with Cao Che's continuous efforts, such a group of Cao family members could be preserved intact.
After Cao Cheng left, another person was "carried" in.
Zhang Xingyuan frowned: "Does he still have family members?"
"No." The person who answered the question was the contemporary owner of Guanhai Town. He answered loudly and stiffly at a young age. "Zhang Zhizun, please avenge me! I am willing to dedicate Guanhai Town as a county!"
After saying that, he also knelt down with a plop and kowtowed towards the hard stone ground!
Zhang Xing's eyes turned white when he saw it. Why do everyone like to kowtow on rocks so much? And why do they all like to give themselves random names?
After thinking for a while, the chief replied: "That's not the case. The grudges against the previous dynasty have nothing to do with us. We have no position to avenge you. Even if we are hostile to Mrs. Lu, it has nothing to do with it, let alone your grudges."
Continue to use your weapons... As for Guanhai Town, if you force yourself to stay, you will become our enemy."
The child who had been obediently eating snacks from Mrs. Lu's hand was now very stubborn. He immediately raised his head and asked, "Then why don't you, Supreme Lord, avenge me? I heard that under your rule, children will be forced to do so."
Foundation building, yes or no? Can you let me go too?"
Zhang Xing naturally knew what the other party meant, but he had nothing to say. He could only nod his head, and then said to the soldier escorting the child: "Send him to Yecheng and find a family with children in the gang to foster him for a few years.
Let him participate in the foundation building, give him two houses when he becomes an adult, divide the land into households equally, and let him be free."
The last master of Guanhai Town immediately kowtowed on the stone slab again, then turned around and went out.
As people left, another person was escorted in.
Zhang Xing saw the person coming and waved his hand directly: "Take her to the Black Water Guard Immortal Cave to reunite with Mrs. Lu."
Li Qingzhou himself was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "I won't go!"
"Oh?" Zhang Xing was slightly surprised. "Then what do you want? Surrender to us or demand death?"
"None of that."
"So?" Zhang Xing endured his temper.
"Madam has given instructions before. If she retreats here to erect a tower and you don't attack, she will ask me to pretend to surrender and keep an eye on her to prevent you from going up the mountain in winter." Li Qingzhou answered simply. "If you really go up to Tianchi.
, then communicate with her quickly regardless of success or failure afterwards..."
Zhang Xing suddenly realized that with Mrs. Lu's cultivation, she had built another tower. Lord Tunfeng was really gone. She immediately knew that communication was not necessary. Therefore, regardless of whether Mrs. Lu had evil intentions towards the gang or not, she had no intention of treating this little guy.
Girls are all kind-hearted... But that child just now, why...?
In fact, even Yuwen Wanchou standing at the door had his eyes wandering.
Thinking of this, Chief Zhang also smiled and nodded: "Since your wife has good intentions, then I will be a grown-up and you can become the chief general in Chief Fan Lihua's camp."
Li Qingzhou hesitated and backed away.
All I can say is that I finally stopped kowtowing and using nicknames.
Next, seeing that Yu Wen Wanchou wanted to bring people in, Zhang Xing raised his hand to stop him, and then asked Xu Jingzu beside him: "Does everyone in the North know that we are going to depose the real dragon?"
Xu Jingzu thought for a while and said sternly: "Chief, Lord Tunfeng is like a mountain in the north, and it has stood for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, temples were built everywhere to worship him, and some people said
When He seized the power of the northern land and wanted to launch an army to conquer, so he said, as long as
The people in the North know that we are going to Tianchi, so they naturally know that they want to be hostile to Lord Tunfeng. However, even if they know, they may not have leaked it from us... And to put it ridiculously, it is impossible to say that anyone has seen what we helped.
The name has already been guessed."
"That's true..." Zhang Xing nodded in approval.
"But I think that if we really want to argue, there will be trouble, but it may not be ours." Xu Jingzu continued. "Chief, I think Lord Tunfeng is a real dragon who has been practicing for who knows how many years, and his mind cannot be used.
Compared with wild animals, if He knew that we were going to depose Him, would He be on guard? Therefore, I am afraid that some people who believe in Him or have ill intentions towards us would tell Him directly so that He would be on guard...
…”
"There's no need to worry about it." Zhang Xing waved his hand. "Judging from the several demonstrations by Lord Tunfeng, he already knew the path chosen by a black emperor like me, and in this case, Da Siming also proposed this
To request is to explain that there is another reason...I ask this because I am just worried that the rumors will continue and people's hearts will fluctuate."
"That's true." Xu Jingzu nodded immediately, then hesitated, and continued to ask. "But chief, please forgive me for being presumptuous. If Lord Tunfeng knows that we are familiar with our ways, it means that many of the previous Black Emperor selections have failed...
...How can we win? Shouldn't we be more cautious, for example, after taking over the whole world, we can then gather seven or eight great masters to depose the true dragon?"
Zhang Xing shook his head: "The truth seems to be correct, but I have also noticed over the years that I am afraid that I am entangled with Seizing the World... Think about it, is this the relationship between the Three Conquests of the Wei Dynasty to Dongyi and the Bihai Lord?
The truth? Who knows that Cao Che has never thought about destroying Dongyi and calling all the masters in the world to destroy Lord Tunfeng in the name of the land supreme? As for us, since we have used this name, we may not be able to hide."
Xu Jingzu thought for a moment and could only nod: "Indeed."
"Who else is there?" After regaining consciousness, Zhang Xing suddenly came to ask Yuwen Wanchou at the door.
"There are quite a few people, thirteen regiment leaders, seven lieutenant generals, and two earls..." Xu Jingzu rushed to answer.
"count?"
"It was only set up in the Eastern Qi Dynasty to divide the powers and responsibilities of Guanhai Tingtao, the two most powerful towns. Now it has basically been reduced to the same level as the civil affairs officials of these two towns..."
"It's gone." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Leader Yuwen, take them to find King Tian and Manager Bai. Leader Xu, don't deal with these things anymore... Go to Blackwater Guards and find Da Siming."
, I’m not asking about Mrs. Lu’s affairs, don’t worry about that, but I’m asking Da Siming to come up with a specific strategy for going to Tianchi.”
"I know." Xu Jingzu perked up and immediately made arrangements.
Yuwen Wanchou also handed over his hand and hurried away.
People were driven away by themselves, but Zhang Xing didn't know what to do next.
But soon, his attention was attracted by the sound of waves outside Tingtao Pavilion: the roaring sea wind rolled up countless waves, all of which rolled on the promontory cliffs below Tingtao Pavilion. The sound of waves and the sound of sea breeze
The whistling sound, thick and thin, gathered in this stone hall, and people immediately understood why this place was obviously a stone fortress, but it had such an elegant name as Tingtao Pavilion.
Continuing to listen, I was just confused at first, but I don’t know when I started, and I gradually became fascinated. Not only did I become fascinated, Zhang Xing also felt that the instinctive energy around him was changing. This was something similar to
The liquid changes like a mist, and the true energy quickly spreads.
Not only that, along with the dispersion of the true energy, there was also his spiritual consciousness. Now he could more clearly detect the movements of those with higher cultivation levels in the entire Tingtao Pavilion.
He "heard" Bai Yousi ordering the execution of a count who wanted to have a relationship; "saw" Xiong Bonan holding hands and persuading a regiment leader to surrender, while Wei Wenda tried to say something beside him; and then, as
The leader nodded in agreement, and he "walked" out again with Wei Wenda, and then met Niu He standing in the corridor outside.
The two of them fell into some kind of social embarrassment; even as he turned his attention to Li Ding, he actually vaguely "read" a letter in Li Ding's hand, which seemed to be a confidant he had left in Wu'an.
The subordinates were asking for help, because the latter believed that Chief Bang Zhang had begun to take advantage of the situation behind the gang to attack the Wu'an Group.
Not to mention this, as the consciousness and true energy continued to expand, they soon connected with the waves beside the cape below, and then kept going back and forth with the waves. In the process, it seemed that they encountered
Just like an amplifier, soon, the area that Zhang Xing could sense was no longer just a mere promontory, but expanded to the entire Blackwater Passage.
Then there are the outlines of the entire northern coastline of Northland and several corresponding rivers.
The most special thing here is the Black Water River, because when the waves roll up the slightest traces of true energy and pour it into the river mouth, those tiny amounts of true energy are sucked in almost instantly, and then they lose their senses, just like rain falling into the depths.
Like a pool at the bottom - the entire Blackwater River has turned into this kind of black hole "in view".
The waves continued to surge, and finally, Zhang Xing's perception crossed the sea and the ground, reaching the entire interior of the Northland.
When he reached this point, he immediately headed towards the direction of Tianchi that he had vaguely noticed before, trying to find traces of Lord Tunfeng. However, as expected, the entire Daxing Mountains, from south to north, appeared to be invisible to his senses.
It's blurry and messy, just like the snowflake signal on the black and white TV I watched as a child before traveling through time. This is in sharp contrast to the depth of the Blackwater River.
On the other hand, in the sea of suffering to the west, it is difficult to detect any abnormalities, which is really difficult to understand.
Just when Zhang Xing was about to give up on the large mountains and bitter seas and "take a closer look" at the geography of the North, there was no warning or any suddenness. His perception was immediately withdrawn, as if he had taken a nap.
Naturally sober.
After waking up, Zhang Xing looked back and felt carefully, and found that there was no surge in skill, no ethereal enlightenment, and no whims such as frightening. However, no matter how you think about it, you should know that this level of perception diffusion is by no means nothing.
It's so easy for the land owner to fully utilize the earth's energy... In Hebei, it was good enough that he could vaguely detect tens of thousands of troops and masters from dozens of miles away, but how could it compare to this time?
Regarding this, Zhang Xing could only make a wild guess. Could it be that the object of visualization reserved by the Black Emperor was the sea? And the Guanhai Tingtao Second Town in Heishuikou was the place where he was "destined" to attain enlightenment? It seemed like
There is indeed a legend that this is the place where Black Emperor attained a certain level of enlightenment, but I don’t know whether it was a great master or a grand master.
Random thoughts in his mind did not delay him from noticing that someone was coming, and his cultivation was not shallow. This seemed to be the reason why he woke up naturally... And after a while, Bai Yousi, Niu He, Xiong Bonan, Wei Wenda and others also came.
They came over to him one after another...but he himself remained motionless, as if he didn't feel anything.
After a moment, as Bai Yousi and Niu He came to the door first, a scribe in black with jingling waists also came through the air, but fell directly on the corridor, and then walked in. It was Jin.
Liu Wenzhou, a rebel disciple of Ge Fuzi.
Before the latter formally entered the lobby of Tingtao Pavilion, laughter came first: "How does Chief Zhang feel? Tingtao Pavilion is indeed as beneficial to practice as rumored? But is it beneficial to weak water zhenqi or to black people?"
Is it helpful for Emperor to click on it? I tried several times, but it never works."
Zhang Xing shook his head in response: "I just felt suddenly and lost my mind for a long time. It seemed that the Northland was in my hands. I vaguely felt some of the earth's energy and noticed some of the geographical shape of the Northland. I didn't realize what my cultivation level was..."
"That's right." Liu Wenzhou didn't care that the four masters gathered together at this time, and just continued to sigh. "Chief Zhang was selected by the Black Emperor. From the very beginning, he was able to kill people and steal his Qi. This Qi is easily taken away. This kind of training opportunity is great."
I don’t think so. It may even be that there is too much zhenqi in the Dantian, and it doesn’t matter if I add more. It’s not like us who are so miserable. Building the foundation at the beginning depends on chance... How do poor people know what a thoroughfare is?
"
Niu He stood at the edge of the door as usual, so he naturally didn't speak. Wei Wenda, the newcomer, didn't interrupt either, and Xiong Bonan had a straight face and actually didn't say a word.
However, Bai Yousi refuted it directly: "What Mr. Liu said seems harsh to our gang. You must know that we are the only family in the world who can do this for children from poor families to build foundations."
Liu Wen was stunned on Monday, still smiling and wanting to say something.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing also took over the words: "Well said! From this point of view, Liu Gong and our gang not only have the same upward ambition, but also the same underlying ambition to make everyone become a dragon. Now since
We meet, why not just join us
In the gang? After deposing Lord Tunfeng, Lord Fenshan, Lord Bihai, and the unseen Huyun Lord, you can still inherit the position of Duke Zhang Shizhao and supervise the foundation building of the youth of the world.
It can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of our respected master Jin Gefuzi!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Bonan, not to mention others, actually became embarrassed first, and he was the only embarrassed person in the room.
As for Liu Wenzhou, he looked up to the sky and smiled. He laughed for a long time before shaking his head: "Chief Zhang, how ridiculous is it that everyone can become a dragon? Even if the true energy of the world is increasing day by day, it is just weeding out the old and bringing out the new, supporting a few new dragons...
...If not, why should I look to the real dragon for a future?"
Zhang Xing also laughed: "So, Mr. Liu is determined to become a new dragon?"
"Of course." Liu Wenzhou replied proudly. "What about you, Chief Zhang? Don't you want to become a new dragon?"
"When you live your whole life, you always have to have some ambitions." Zhang Xing also answered proudly. "Since there is the Supreme Being, I naturally want to try to prove the Supreme Being. How can I stop at the level of a dragon?"
Liu Wen was stunned on Monday, and the corners of his mouth finally lost their disgusting upturn, and turned solemnly: "No wonder Chief Zhang behaves like this... But people need to be self-aware."
Zhang Xing curled his lips and finally did not continue the topic... In fact, Bai Yousi didn't want to speak just now, just because he was worried that Xiong Bonan, an insider, was too honest, and that everyone would not respond to such a topic that could be easily refuted.
Not speaking would arouse suspicion, so he took the initiative to play the role of questioning.
And now, after a few words, Zhang Xing was sure that everyone showing their dislike for this guy would be the most reasonable way to respond and the least likely to reveal their true attitude.
As soon as he thought about it, the man took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter? Is there a complete plan for Liu Gong to come back?"
"Of course the plans have been prepared a long time ago." Liu Wenzhou stared at Zhang Xing who was sitting motionless on the stone seat for a moment, then lowered his head and laughed dryly, then touched the porcelain bottle on his waist and answered. "I have been here for several years.
, I only talk about plans, I don’t know how much I have calculated.
I have searched all over and tried my best to find someone who can be used. Even Da Siming, who left today, discussed this matter in person... However, I thought it would take you some time to capture Mrs. Lu, but unexpectedly, Chief Zhang
What a great trick to break the situation so easily, so I came over in a hurry."
Zhang Xing's expression remained normal, he nodded directly and waited for the other party to explain.
Liu Wenzhou obviously regarded this matter as the key point in his life, so he naturally entered the topic directly, but first asked a question: "Everyone, since you have fought against Fenshanjun, I dare to ask, what do you think is the most important thing to deal with the real dragon?
?”
"We can't let him fly." Bai Yousi blurted out.
"Indeed." Liu Wenzhou nodded immediately. "But how to prevent Him from flying?"
"What I saw before was that the Governor of Dongyi used something similar to the Fulong Seal to eliminate his true energy." Zhang Xing said.
"I can't eliminate his true energy here." Liu Wenzhou smiled half-heartedly. "But I can lock him and prevent him from borrowing the true energy stored under Tianchi..."
"You have already said to seal Tianchi with the essence of ice, but what does it mean that it has retained its true energy?" Zhang Xing frowned and asked.
"Didn't Da Siming tell you?" Liu Wenzhou asked.
Zhang Xing said helplessly: "Da Si Ming came in a hurry and left in a hurry... Mr. Liu came too fast."
Liu Wenzhou smiled, not shying away from the proud look on his face, and explained:
"The dragon Tunfeng Lord is greedy and slippery, ruthless and brutal. He is not a real dragon that was enlightened by Qing Emperor and practiced to perfection, but a natural dragon that appeared from nowhere since ancient times. According to Black Emperor,
This is actually a 'devil'...
"There is a legend that I believe quite a bit. He got a tip from the Qing Emperor and knew about the Black Emperor's future achievements. He deliberately waited for the Black Emperor in the Immortal Cave, made friends, and then deceived the Black Emperor for a while.
, occupied Daxing Mountain, and later the Black Emperor gained the honorable position and reacted, but was restricted by his identity and commitment, so he hated him deeply and wanted to get rid of him. "
"Da Siming has said this before." Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "The Qing Emperor did this very smoothly..."
"The problem is not with the Supreme Lord, but why Lord Tunfeng asked for Daxing Mountain? The problem is that he offered a place like the Immortal Cave, what place did he want to protect?" Liu Wenzhou waved his hand in response.
"Tianchi?" Bai Yousi certainly guessed the answer. "What is there in Tianchi?"
"If I'm not wrong, there is earth fire there." Liu Wenzhou said solemnly. "He swallows earth fire and breathes out the cold wind... The name Wind Swallowing Lord is actually a misplacement... The ice true energy does come from him, but it doesn't
His origin is the result of His swallowing of earthly fire.”
This statement is somewhat refreshing, especially when I think of the fiery red eyes of Lord Tunfeng when Hulukou met him that day.
"What's the use of swallowing earth fire?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but ask.
"My guess is that he is trying to lock in more true energy." Liu Wenzhou continued. "For a natural dragon like Tunfeng Lord, they are originally born with true energy, so there is no grudge."
Love and hatred are all empty. Only true energy is fundamental and everything to them. They cannot store more in their bodies, so they have to chase after them.
Seeking to be one with heaven and earth, and locking more true energy in the way of celestial phenomena, that's why there is Huyuntunfeng... If there is earthly fire under Tianchi, then what he wants to do is to swallow the earthly fire and the underground.
The fire gradually becomes one, and then stores the true energy captured by it into the fire veins, hoping to live as long as heaven and earth, and to be happy forever."
"I understand what you mean." Zhang Xing thought for a while and tried to summarize. "If Lord Tunfeng uses the earth fire under Tianchi as the foundation for his cultivation and survival, and you have the blood essence and blood of the true dragon and the essence of ice in your hands,
We used the true dragon essence and blood to cover up, and directly used the ice essence to lock Tianchi... Since it was blocked
The channel of true energy that He has stored for thousands of years is also damaging to His foundation. He will not be able to bear it and will definitely deal with us in Tianchi. Since He has severed his connection with the celestial phenomena, the true energy in his body is also limited. We are here in Tianchi.
To consume him, and then wait for his true energy to dwindle, and then deal with a strange beast, right?"
"If my guess is right, it will be much easier than this." Liu Wenzhou explained. "For one thing, you are also Black Emperor's choice. Those who have been to Tianchi should know that the water there is bottomless. Let's touch it.
When using the Ice Essence, if you move quickly, it will be frozen by the ice in the pool, making it easier to deal with;
"Secondly, I have been here for several years and I have seen that the true energy of the ice on the mountain is often chaotic. It is probably because he is too greedy and cannot stably swallow the earth fire, so the wind corresponding to the exhalation is also chaotic. Moreover, he usually travels between the north and south of Daxing Mountain.
It is time to return to Tianchi, although He
He is born to like Tianchi, but it may not be because the earth fire in his body is unstable and needs to be suppressed by Tianchi. If this is the case, as long as we control Tianchi, even if he struggles out, he will not be able to hold on for a long time and can only return to Tianchi.
Fight with us!"
"But... these are all your conjectures." Zhang Xing actually believed it in his heart, but after thinking about it, he seriously refuted it. "What if there is no earth fire? Moreover, your ice essence
Is it really so powerful that it can seal the real dragon and cut off the earth fire?"
"You can ask Da Si Ming first. As for the Ice Essence, it's hard to say how to seal the real dragon. But cutting off the earth's fire is its main business, so it will definitely succeed." Liu Wenzhou spread his hands and said. "At the very least, I can only guess.
It's wrong. It won't work out. Let's escape and make plans again... Chief Zhang, I have worked hard for ten years and I will never make fun of myself."
Zhang Xing nodded: "That's the truth. I can trust you, but it's better to be on the safe side to prevent the seeds of our gang from being easily thrown away."
"Chief Zhang! I know you want to achieve supreme status, so you must be kind! But how can you care about a little sacrifice when doing this kind of thing? I don't believe you don't understand if kindness can't control the army!" Liu Wenzhou became a little angry.
To be fair, what the other person said makes sense.
There are sufficient reasons for dealing with Lord Tunfeng from any angle. At least one, this is one of the core conditions for you to merge with the Demon Guards. You have to admit it, otherwise you will follow up with the Demon Guards.
What do you say when Wei makes a fuss? What do you do if your political credibility is ruined?
Secondly, this is what should be done under the ideology of the Gang. Even from the perspective of governance, there is no reason to let go of the demon dragon that occupies the largest mountain range in his inner circle. Killing the demon dragon is enough to quickly frighten the entire country.
Northland facilitates Li Ding's integration of military forces.
Not to mention, Liu Wenzhou and Dang Mowei's reminder clearly told everyone in the gang that by deposing the Wind Swallowing Lord, everyone would improve their cultivation together, which would also have direct benefits in itself.
Therefore, going up to Tianchi to deal with Lord Tunfeng is basically a battle that should and must be fought, and casualties and sacrifices are not something that a commander should overly consider.
However, Zhang Xing felt harsh when these words came out of Liu Wenzhou's mouth.
"That's right!" Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "I have to go to Tianchi no matter what...Does Mr. Liu have anything to add?"
"Nothing to add." Liu Wenzhou said proudly. "If you can mobilize troops and horses, we can go now!"
"We really can't go now." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "We here must at least wait until winter, when it snows and the news is cut off, then we dare to concentrate most of our combat power here, otherwise the east and west capitals will know about it.
, we must not take advantage of the opportunity to attack... And we must try our best to contact and gather some experts... Liu Gong, I have sent an envoy.
We are going to see Da Siming. You are going too. We are all important people. Ask for the key reasons. You will establish a base at Blackwater Guards and formulate a plan. I will take advantage of the fact that winter has not yet arrived and make another trip.
Hebei, make arrangements for things in the south and meet Master Qianjin in person. For this kind of thing, it would always be great if there is one more great master."
"It's natural." Liu Wenzhou smiled half-heartedly. "Even if Qianjin's leader is unwilling to take action against Qiao, he can always be a doctor and treat our injuries."
Zhang Xing also smiled and simply urged: "Then please trouble Mr. Liu to go first."
Liu Wenzhou looked at Xiong Bonan and others who had been silent, curled his lips, and without cupping his hands or saying goodbye, he walked directly to the outer corridor and jumped into the air on the spot.
The person left for a long time, and even Wei Wenda realized that Qiu had left on his own initiative. Only then did Xiong Bo Nanfang explain: "Since I know that I will deal with him in the future, I really can't deal with him."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xing waved his hand. "Liu Wenzhou knew in his heart that his attitude would offend people. He just wanted to see our reaction to make him happy. There is no need for us to pretend to be too fake... King of Heaven, I have a favor to ask of you.
you."
"Chief, please speak."
"We need to arrange for Li Longtou to be stationed in the north to organize an army to cross the sea of hardships. To organize such a large army, we need to help the original elite participate in the control. But the problem now is that the original people from Wu'an Xingtai
They may not be willing to come to the North, and the officers and soldiers have different positions.
Same... I will give an order later that the entire army is in winter camp in the North, and I want you to go to the army, not just the people from Wu'an Xingtai, but all the more than thirty battalions in the North, and ask them about their officers and soldiers.
Attitude, compile a list and use it in the spring." Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"I understand." Xiong Bonan visibly cheered up. "Do you need me to persuade you?"
"It's not necessary for the time being." Zhang Xing said seriously. "Just explain our arrangements clearly and tell the officers that they will not be abandoned if they stay in the Northland... In fact, from an organizational point of view, we must build an army in the Northland.
Twenty or thirty battalions, the soldiers must start from the north, there is no need to demand full blame."
"Okay." Xiong Bonan was obviously relieved. "I promise to do this well. The thirty-seven battalions, plus the extra scattered leaders, as long as they are not injured on Tianchi, I promise to finish them one by one before the beginning of spring.
"
"That's good." After Zhang Xing finished speaking, he went to see Bai Yousi. "Manager Bai, your mission is the same as before in Hebei but different. First it's personnel affairs. This time it's to discuss with Li Longtou and the King of Heaven to bring Bei to the north.
In the south and west of the country, except for the demon guards
The personnel outside the territory should be sorted out clearly... In principle, more exchanges should be made, let people from the North go out to serve as officials, and let people from Hebei and Henan come to serve as officials in the North. It must be mobile; secondly, do a good job in the responsibilities of the Jing'an Department and transfer local people
The forces figure it out."
Bai Yousi nodded and said nothing more.
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, then asked the two of them again: "Where is Li Ding? Why didn't Liu Wenzhou come over when there was such a big movement?"
Xiongbai and Xiongbai looked at each other.
Zhang Xing had no choice but to nod.
Not to mention that day, two days later, Zhang Xing formally summoned the big and small leaders around the second town of Guanhai Tingtao, including the temporarily surrendered leaders, and issued a series of military orders and personnel arrangements:
The entire army immediately prepared for winter camp, established camps, prepared winter supplies, and prepared to spend the winter in the north;
With Xiong Bonan as the leader, together with Li Ding and Bai Yousi, they inspected military achievements and verified the personnel arrangements of the military and civilians in the North;
With Li Ding in charge, he is responsible for military affairs, formulating and assigning defense zones, suppressing rebellions, and chasing down the remnants of the rebels;
With Bai Yousi as the main person, he is responsible for the aftermath of Jing'an in the North, inspecting and sorting out the local armed forces in the North, and preparing for their incorporation and suppression;
With Jia Yue as the leader, he organized an engineering equipment battalion and tried to make crossbows and catapults;
Headed by Xu Jingzu, he is responsible for liaison matters with the Demon Guards.
After making simple arrangements, Zhang Xingfu, who had just entered the Northland for two months, set off again, leaving the Northland again and heading for Hebei. This time, he didn't even bring his white cavalry with him. He just asked Yu Chirong to lead a hundred cavalry guards to accompany him.
.
When we walked to Luyezawa, it became noticeably colder.
When they came to Tieshanwei for a while, it was only mid-August, and they actually saw the first snow of the year in the North... The snowflakes were very small, but they heralded the beginning of the annual deep winter in the North.
The moment they crossed Thudao Ridge and arrived in Hebei, it was almost like returning to autumn from winter.
Back in Yecheng, the weather was still warm. Zhang Xing stayed here for a long time and publicly participated in many activities, including convening the new batch of imperial examination passers to hold a banquet in Guanfeng Yuan to treat people to eat fried meatballs, including visiting the new year.
The young man who forcibly built the foundation (there were very few people this year) also visited the injured, inspected the work of many departments, and even dealt with a large number of people.
Specifically, it was a gentle purge of Li Ding's old department in Wu'an Xingtai. Many people who complained secretly were directly named, and then moved to Henan, Youzhou, and Dengzhou, completely losing the centripetal force of the political group.
As for how the list came about, you have to ask Li Ding and Li Longtou. Before Zhang Xing left Guanhai Town, he told the Northland war commander that he could either provide the list proactively and then he would just transfer the relevant personnel, or he could go back and investigate.
, catch one and kill the other.
Then Li Ding provided the list.
After struggling for more than a month, as winter began to enter Yecheng, Zhang Xing gave up the good days of eating fried dough and crossed the river to Henan with Xie Minghe, who had just arrived in Yecheng, escorted by Yu Chirong.
Immediately afterwards, he made a routine visit to Dongjun, the family members of the leaders of Jiyin, and went to Mount Li to offer sacrifices to the deceased. Then finally in mid-October, he arrived at the bank of Guoshui and came to the medical school and hospital established on the former battlefield.
I met the Qianjin Cult Leader.
In fact, if you have to argue, this is the real reason why Zhang Xing traveled thousands of miles to go south for the second time - Qianjin Cult Master Sun Siyuan was unwilling to go to the North, and Zhang Xing got this two days before entering Guanhai Town
information.
"Why doesn't Master Sun want to go north?" In front of the house built on a high platform in the Wohepan Medical College, Zhang Xing waited until Sun Siyuan came back from teaching, but he didn't even want to get up and asked directly.
Sun Siyuan smiled, put down a basket full of medicinal materials in his hand, sat down calmly, and explained a little: "Why did Chief Zhang force me? Didn't we say it before? We will not participate in the battle between the various forces, but only save people. Who can
They all save the same."
"The person you are talking about is a human being. This Lord Tunfeng is not a human being!" Zhang Xing stressed.
"Even if it is not a human being, it is also related to human beings... Chief Zhang, after all, I have been the leader of the True Fire Sect. How dare I go to the North to depose the Black Emperor under the eyes of the Demon Guard Chief Siming?"
Where is the real dragon?" Sun Siyuan continued to smile bitterly. "Are you afraid that if you go there, you won't be able to come back?"
"If that's the case," Zhang Xing frowned slightly. "When I passed by Youzhou, I saw Dou Longtou letting people set up a monument to you by the Youzhou Bridge, and I didn't see the Dang Mo Guards who went to the Great Black Emperor Temple in Wu'an.
Did the team smash your monument? Are the two families really so incompetent?"
Sun Siyuan was stunned and could no longer pretend to be stupid: "What Chief Zhang said is absolutely true. I am able to find a way to enlightenment at this age because I have received a lot of favors...I also know this.
Not to deal with the Black Emperor and the Demon Guard, but
Help the Black Emperor clear the inside, but the more this happens, the harder it is for me to do it, because I am from the True Fire Cult after all, and I am the benefactor of the Red Emperor Empress. I have already angered the Empress when I left the south, and I absolutely dare not
Go and make her angry again."
At this point, it seems that it has been said to death. Everyone knows the temper of the Red Emperor Empress.
"Just for this?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment and then laughed. "For the Supreme Face?"
"Dang Mo Wei is helping you, even if he doesn't hesitate to merge the foundations, isn't it just for the sake of the Supreme Being's face?" Sun Siyuan was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Xing smiled again and suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of the south, does Dean Sun know the recent situation in the south?"
"I would like to hear the details." Sun Siyuan hesitated for a moment, knowing that there must be something hidden in his words, but after all, he could not hide his concern.
Zhang Xing did not speak directly, but looked at Xie Minghe who had been silent.
"Mr. Sun, Xiao Hui has proclaimed himself emperor." Xie Minghe said with one hand spread out.
"Of course I know that." Sun Siyuan was speechless. "He is a descendant of the Xiao Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. He didn't proclaim himself emperor before just because you guys didn't establish a king. Now that you have a king, you can't wait."
"Then does Sun Gong know that he has sealed nine kings in one breath?" Xie Minghe stared at the other person and continued to ask. The cold air in his mouth turned into white smoke and dissipated in front of him. "And each king has a different surname?"
Sun Siyuan was stunned, smiled bitterly and was speechless for a long time.
"When I was in Beidi, the envoy went there and Xiao Hui proclaimed himself emperor. Then the people in Yecheng were worried and asked Manager Xie to go to Jiangdu again in the name of breaking off diplomatic relations and saw Xiao Hui and his
Those kings, but Mr. Xie, who was originally going to break off the relationship, changed his mind temporarily and wrote a letter of congratulations himself... But after he came back, no one, including me, objected, and they all felt that he handled it properly. You know
Why?" Zhang Xing also asked.
Sun Siyuan was already numb, but his disciples and disciples were all in that Xiao Liang regime, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Why?"
"It's very simple. I can see it clearly in Jiangdu." Xie Minghe twirled his beard swaying in the wind and sneered. "Xiao Liang's court is exactly the opposite of the gang... The gang calls itself a gang, but in fact it is better organized and more talkative than anyone else.
system, and even if we really want to say that it is our gang that has inherited the most from the system of the Wei Dynasty, Xiao Liang’s place is, on the surface, a dynasty.
Ting, in fact, is actually a grassroots gang. Its members have been supported by the forces of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jiangdong since they were a county magistrate. The powerful people in Hunan, the water bandits and the True Fire Sect in Jiangxi, and the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, all of them are
Let him do his own thing... It doesn't matter if he looks exactly like the way he was when the gang was founded, but I don't know why he hasn't improved at all after so many years.
"And the reason why I changed the congratulatory form is because I know that as long as this gang of people is unable to expand, they will definitely kill each other, and Xiao Hui can't stop it at all, and will even participate in it... Xiao Hui is a person
, if I have to make an evaluation, it actually looks very much like Li Shu, except
His ability and personal ethics are not as good as those of Li Shu. On the contrary, he cannot allow others to learn 100%. At this point, he asked me how Chief Zhang’s cultivation was? Asked what the leader of the Wei State is so outstanding? He also said to me,
If there is an internal conflict between Chief Zhang and the Lord of Wei, I can return to Jiangdu at any time and am willing to fight with you as a king."
Sun Siyuan could only keep sighing.
Zhang Xing took the words and continued: "Not only did Manager Xie see this inner bag at a glance, but even Du Longtou of Du Po Formation in Huainan also noticed it. He took the initiative to be low-key with Jiang Du early, just to wait.
They are unable to expand and are in internal chaos... Leader Sun, with all due respect, Xiao Liang and his gang are bound to be defeated. Even without me, if you give Du Longtou enough time, he can take advantage of Huainan and spy on Jiangzuo.
of."
"So, what does Chief Zhang mean?" Sun Siyuan, who had experienced too much civil strife in the True Fire Sect, really couldn't stand listening and could only let Zhang Xing get to the point.
"It's very simple, Master Zhang, it's good that you are a Grand Master, but a Grand Master not only has to look up, but also has to worry about the bottom... We know the temper of the Red Emperor Empress, but you don't want to do anything for the future of the True Fire Sect.
Do you want to consider it?" Zhang Xing said seriously. "As long as you follow me north to help this
For a while, no matter success or failure, whether the people of the True Fire Sect escape from the civil strife in Xiao Liang or we fight directly, there will be a pardon and acceptance... Do you think it is feasible? Let me say, retain the True Fire Sect.
The incense has protected the greatest face of the Supreme Being."
Sun Siyuan, who had long been determined to save people rather than kill, had no choice but to nod... which was okay, after all, the original intention of this move was to save people.
The only thing that is unworthy is that one's descendants are unworthy, so what if one is a great master?
Could Cao Lin escape? Or could Bai Hengqiu escape?
I can only nod.
PS: First I had a cold and stuffy nose, and then the Chinese Writers' Association called a meeting (I'm not a member of the Writers' Association and I don't know why). After two days in the valley and a round-trip flight, it worsened for three consecutive days. After I came back, I had urticaria, from my feet to my lips.
They were all covered with erythema. After the erythema subsided, coughing and low-grade fever started again... endlessly.
