Chen Zilong was also a literary sect in the world of poetry and a generation leader of the Southeast Scholars. He had a close relationship with Fang Yizhi, and together with Shi Kefa and others, he could be counted among the first-class figures in Donglin.
As for Xu Du, Xu Du was the grandson of Xu Honggang, the former censor of Zuo Du, and the grandson of Xu Dadao, the deputy envoy. Like Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi, they were both from "famous families".
It's just that Chen Zilong focuses on literature, while Fang Yizhi likes Western academics and elementary school physics. Xu Du's hobbies are more niche and special than Fang Yizhi.
Xu Du is similar to Fang Yiren in that he is good at military affairs. Moreover, he not only loves reading military books like Fang Yiren, but he is also physically strong, good at riding and archery, sumo wrestling, hand-to-hand combat, carrying goods and being a knight, and is married to a noble man.
.
In addition, Xu Du was generous and generous, and he became very famous in the "jianghu" in eastern Zhejiang. His relationship with Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi and others were mainly teachers and celebrities from Xu Du
At He Gang's level, Xu Du's conduct and approach to things are actually very different from those of Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi, who are famous figures in the southeastern literary world.
Shi Kefa was the chief minister of suppression, already a minister equivalent to the rank of governor. Hou Xun was the governor of the world's suppression of bandits, and his power and position was even higher than that of Shi Kefa, so he could be regarded as an extremely human minister.
Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi, even though they had deep grudges and dissatisfaction with Hou Xun, they did not dare to speak rude words to a high-ranking official like him.
But Xu Du is different. His temperament sounds chivalrous at best, but is domineering at worst.
He Gang, Chen Zilong, and Xu Du brought the Yiwu team training from Zhejiang to Xuzhou. In fact, it was almost all recruited, organized, and trained by Xu Du alone.
The officers in Yiwu regiment training, such as Feng Longyou and Dai Facong, are not gentlemen with upright backgrounds, but heroes from the Jianghu who have a personal relationship with Xu Du. Both of them are "martial arts masters" with great power, "
"Heroes of the Jianghu" would participate in the Yiwu team training, all because Xu Du relied on the prestige of the heroes he had gained from "running around in the Jianghu" for many years.
So Xu Du didn't have a good opinion of Hou Xun, so he said bluntly: "Many of the servants and I in Hou Xun's Biao Camp often drank wine. According to what they said, Hou Xun suddenly sent people to take Yuan Shizhong away because someone
He came out to report Yuan Shizhong as the chief culprit who killed Hou Fangyu."
Fang Yizhi and Hou Fangyu were jointly listed as one of the four young masters of Fushe. Although the so-called four young masters were not all true confidants, they were actually fair-weather friends and had more reasons to compliment each other.
But after all, Fang Yizhi had been in contact with Hou Fangyu for a long time. When he heard that Hou Fangyu was killed by Yuan Shizhong, he was of course shocked to the point of losing his voice.
He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something to express his shock, but the excitement in his throat was suppressed and he could not utter a single word.
Chen Zilong smiled bitterly and said: "Mi Zhi, you also know that Hou Zhitai is from Guide. The descendants of the Hou family, including Chaozong, are all in Guide now. Once Guide is lost, of course all the Hou family members will fall into the hands of thieves.
Yuan Shizhong fled back to Xuzhou alone. In Hou Zhitai's view, doesn't this mean he abandoned his son and fled back on his own?"
Fang Yizhi finally understood the reason why Hou Xun suddenly sent people to arrest Yuan Shizhong, but he still found it difficult to understand: "This, this, this... Yu Yongshou and Gao Qian did more than just abandon Hou Fangyu."
He escaped by himself, but the two of them left behind Liu Zhaoji and nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers and fled back. Hou Zhitai praised these two people very much, so why can't he have a little tolerance for Yuan Shizhong?"
Xu Du sneered and said: "In Hou Xun's eyes, how can thousands of officers and soldiers be as valuable as Hou Chaozong alone? He probably hates Yuan Shizhong to his bones now. Anyway, he can't kill the intruder, and he can't beat Chuang.
Thief, besides venting his anger on Yuan Shizhong, what else can Hou Xun do?"
This is really incompetent and furious!
Fang Yizhi held his forehead and sighed: "Hou Zhitai is selfishly influencing the public situation. Now that the situation in Xuzhou is so critical, Yuan Shizhong is a rare warrior in the world. Originally, Yuan Shizhong came to Xuzhou, which can greatly inspire the army and the people.
It's a good thing for morale. But now that Master Hou has arrested General Yuan, how will things end? If Hou Zhitai is really asked to kill General Yuan, I'm afraid that the morale of the army and the people will be shattered."
Chen Zilong shook his head repeatedly and said: "For the present plan, for the present plan, we have to wait for Shi Zhitai to get better. What is his condition? Secretly, you are always around Zhitai, advising him on military writings, please come soon
Tell me what's going on."
"Alas!" Fang Yizhi said helplessly, "Your Excellency is sick due to overwork, and I pay a lot of attention to medical books on weekdays. You can tell at a glance that your Excellency's condition is due to overwork, lack of food, and trouble. And he was suddenly stimulated by the bad news.
, I’m afraid it will take a while to wake up.”
"this……"
Chen Zilong looked at Xu Du, then looked at Fang Yizhi, hesitated to speak, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Time is running out. Hou Zhitai must kill General Yuan, and the servants in the camp just went to capture General Yuan.
At that time, General Yuan bravely drew his sword and killed the two of them. Now their hatred is even deeper. If Shi Zhitai can't wake up quickly, come up with a way and make a decision, I'm afraid if we keep waiting like this, we will turn back.
All you can see is General Yuan’s head on his neck.”
Fang Yizhi was about to cry but said without tears: "I can only write words of praise for you, but I can't mobilize the soldiers in the standard camp, and I can't speak in front of Lord Hou. Brother Wozi, you ask me to think of a way, but I can't do anything."
"
"Is this the end of all our plans? General Yuan came to Xuzhou with great enthusiasm. Are we going to repay him with swords and axes?"
"ha!"
Xu Du sneered, his brows furrowed together, and with a hint of disdain for Hou Xun at the corner of his mouth, he said: "Hou Xun's Biao camp only has a few hundred people, and the servants in his Biao camp and I spend a lot of time."
We come here often to drink and have fun. These people are rarely experienced soldiers, most of them are some market scoundrels temporarily recruited in Yandu by Hou Xun when he went south from the capital. They are not good at all, and they are not as powerful as our fellow villagers in Yiwu."
With a bang, Xu Du slammed the table in a circle and said sternly: "Master Shi seems to be unable to wake up for a while, but Yuan Shizhong came to vote with enthusiasm. We must not chill the hearts of the martyrs... let alone let him
Hou Xun acted arbitrarily and killed a Yuan Shizhong, which chilled the hearts of the righteous people in the world."
He looked back at Fang Yizhi and asked, "Brother Mi, can you mobilize Lord Shi's Biao camp? How many people can you estimate that can be mobilized?"
Fang Yizhi looked at Xu Du's expression that was very similar to that of Yu Yongshou, Gao Qian and other warriors, and felt a strong sense of uneasiness and fear. He took a half step back and carefully replied: "There is only Mr. Shi in Biao camp.
It can be mobilized, all the seals are with him, I can't mobilize half of them."
"Okay! In other words, as long as there is a seal, you can mobilize the Biao battalion to suppress the general office!"
Xu Du clapped his hands and continued: "Brother Mi, now that Mr. Shi has fainted and is unconscious, I will leave it to you at Biaoying! You have been suppressing the secrets of the Counselor of the General Office, and of course you know the security seals
Where is it? Take these things quickly and come with me to do something important."
Xu Du's words made Fang Yizhi stunned. He opened his mouth wide and asked: "You... what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Xu Du laughed and replied: "Yuan Shizhong is our last hope to save Xuzhou. If Yuan Shizhong is killed by Hou Xun, Xuzhou will really have no future. Xuzhou is related to the north-south water transportation. Once Xuzhou is occupied by thieves, then
The north and the south will be cut off, and the world will become even more uncontrollable. So I and I have already discussed that the life of Yuan Shizhong is related to the gain or loss of Xuzhou, and the gain or loss of Xuzhou is related to the survival of the world."
Chen Zilong lamented to Fang Yizhi and said: "Mi Zhi, I have always been opposed to his methods. That's why I came to the General Suppressor, hoping that Mr. Shi would come forward to rescue General Yuan. How could I have thought of that?"
Shi Zhitai... actually vomited blood and fainted because of overwork. Now we can't wait any longer. We can only take risks and rescue Yuan Shizhong first. When Shi Zhitai wakes up, he will come forward to fight with him.
Mr. Hou Hanxuan."
"Are you crazy?" Fang Yizhi opened his eyes wide and pointed at Chen Zilong and Xu Du. "You want me to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Biao camp, follow you to Hou Zhitai, and directly remove Yuan Shizhong from
Grab it from the military camp?"
Xu Du tilted his mouth and said with a smile: "There are only a few hundred people in Hou Xun's Biao Camp now, and I am very familiar with the servants in his Biao Camp. I can guarantee that these people are simply vulnerable and have no power to fight."
"We don't need to fight at all. We just need to scare Hou Xun and move quickly enough to rescue Yuan Shizhong without killing one person or injuring another."
"Secretly, you are the only one who can mobilize the General Biao Battalion on behalf of Shi Zhitai. The survival of Xuzhou and the survival of the world all depend on your hands. Be careful, be careful!"
