After the whole army crossed the Huan River, Zhang Xing felt that he had no desire or desire.

Because he knows that from his own point of view, his strategy has been completely successful. Even if there are any problems, it is not his responsibility. He has tried his best on this matter to the extreme and has considered everything he can. I have done everything that I can do, and even if I may not be able to do it, I try my best to consider doing it in the future. . .

Maybe there will still be rivers of blood today, maybe there will still be innocent people killed and injured after this turmoil, maybe the final result will still trigger other wrong butterfly effects in the court... But all of this is just like this plan It's the same as the second half of the story. It can't be said that it is Zhang Xing's responsibility anymore.

He, Zhang Sanlang, had tried his best to come up with the optimal solution, put it into action, and completed his part brilliantly.

According to the agreement, as long as Zhang Xing used the golden cone trick to lure the gangsters from Mangdang Mountain out in advance and cross the river, the rest would be Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi's business.

How these two powerful immortals forced Chen Ling to send troops, how they protected the fleet passing through this area, and how it ended had nothing to do with Zhang Baishou.

Of course, Zhang Xing had no desires and desires, but the others' desire for expression was a little too much.

After passing the Huanshui River, the brigade directly occupied Jishan. The first one to bear the brunt was naturally Mr. Xu. Poor Mr. Xu had been hanging around in Jishan for many years. Once the foundation was lost, the food was used, and the money was scattered, he almost had to kowtow to get down. Some of the basic core members and the title of leader have been preserved - of course, this is also because everyone from top to bottom is anxious to "do business" and is unwilling to cause extraneous problems.

However, since we are talking about tomorrow's business, we can't help but continue to compete enthusiastically. You must know that by this time, the big bosses, both well-connected and unconnected, already knew that the Longgang garrison was their own family.

How do you say that?

This trip is like searching for something.

I dare ask who doesn’t want to grab more and share more?

However, the bosses are considered the elite among the so-called bandits and bandits, and they all know that robbery must be done in a systematic way. If it cannot be done beautifully and cleanly, the gold and silver will be scattered, the brocade will be burned, or the brocade patrols will The rider got violent and pushed the car into the eddy water. What does that mean?

So they clamored for a long time, and finally decided on a strategy to outflank Tun Yuan. Zhang Xing and Du Po Zhen calmly took over the task of encircling and outflanking the left wing.

However, it is not over yet, because we still need to discuss the matter of dividing profits after the war, but when it comes to dividing... Don't forget, Mr. Zhang once said that the most difficult thing in the world is the word "divided" .

Ever since, after hastily assigning troops and formations for tomorrow's "business", the small Juyi Hall on Jishan Mountain almost became noisy.

Boss Zhou's momentum is different now, especially after annexing Jishan, he has many ideas. He seems to want to take back the "Gui Gong" first and then divide them together. Several small leaders of the forces in Mangdang Mountain also support him, at least demanding the so-called There are more people who "return to the public"... Obviously, Mr. Zhou Yi wants to pull the younger ones to fight the older ones, and the little leaders immediately understood.

However, Boss Lou and the other leaders of the Eastern Realm gangsters only shouted for a fair distribution of troops according to each department... This is of course understandable, because even though the Eastern Realm gangsters have the smallest number of people, it seems that they should be more in favor of Boss Zhou's plan. But after all, they were foreign gangsters who had slipped over from the East. They wanted to take the money and leave immediately, and they were even more afraid of being annexed and not being able to get anything.

At the same time, Boss Zhao and Boss Wang just sneered, and then pretended that I didn't understand what you were saying. In fact, they were trying to figure out who would get it.

There is no way, why do the little leaders want to rely on Boss Zhou, and the guys in the East want to rely on Boss Lou? Isn't it because people like King Zhao exist?

"You are evil-minded and bully others. You want structure but no structure, and you want courage but no courage...Compared with the two bosses Zhou and Lou, you, Lao Wang and Lao Zhao, are like two people in the sky and two on the ground! If you fail to succeed, you will fail. How come you have the nerve to sit here?"

Yes, these were Mr. Zhang’s exact words, and he took action.

It’s okay not to get up. Zhang Xing was made dizzy by these people and wanted to sleep. But as a bandit leader, how could he just leave while discussing the distribution plan? It would be a huge flaw to just leave without making a fuss, okay?

So, when Lao Han and others pushed Mr. Zhang to come out and say a few words, he was determined to stand on the last guard duty and without hesitation stood up and fired at Wang and Zhao.

And as soon as it was released, it immediately suppressed most of the Juyi Hall.

"Mr. Zhang, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Boss Wang immediately greeted him coldly, holding his arms in his arms. "How can you slander us for nothing?"

"Am I slandering you?" Zhang Xing became angry. "Don't you know what you and Lao Wang are? You risk your life for small profits, and you sacrifice your life for big things! When others are working hard to set up a stage, you just watch with cold eyes, trying and dodging. After setting up the stage, you think about it. Others kicked him aside! Although the division between Boss Zhou and Boss Lou is conflicting, it is just a difference in plan. After all, everyone has been taken into consideration. Only the two of you, relying on your own power to cultivate high, only want to eat more and get more. No care for any other brothers! I, Zhang San, have traveled all over the country, but I have never seen such a shameless person! And today, I saw two of them at once."

"Master Zhang, are you shameless?" Boss Zhao, who is now known as Zhao Xingchuan, just listened coldly at first, but at the end of the hearing, he suddenly got angry and threw the wine glass. Directly holding the saber, he stepped on several cases, and then pointed at Zhang Xing opposite with one hand. "What qualifications and status do you have to come to me and Lao Wang?"

"Do Mr. Zhang have the right to speak? Is it your turn to speak?" Du Pozhen, who was sitting next to Zhang Xing, did not hesitate. He immediately pushed the table in front of him to put the food and wine in front of him, and also raised his knife. "You two don't recognize Boss Zhou's plan, and you two don't recognize Boss Lou's plan... Do you really think that everyone doesn't know what you two are thinking? You are both businessmen with many years of experience, who doesn't understand?"

"Zhao Xingchuan!" Zhang Xing glanced at Zhou Yi, who was silent and expressionless, and Lou Huan, who was expressionless. He calmly stepped on the tables in front of him, then calmly raised his knife and looked at the opposite side. "Everyone was talking about something, and you suddenly got angry. What do you mean by holding down the knife in front of all the bosses? Do you want to fight with each other? Who should fight with? Who is afraid of you? And you thought it was your turn to compete with the sword here. What’s the ability?”

Mr. Zhao was furious, his true energy was radiating out, and he wanted to actually pull out the sword. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the hand holding the sword was tightly held down by someone beside him - it turned out to be the same person who stood in the same position tonight. Boss Wang.

Zhao Xingchuan knew something was wrong, and quickly followed the other person's eyes, only to find that nine out of ten bosses here were only staring at him, not Zhang Laosan opposite him, the two real bosses Zhou Yi and Lou Huan He just squinted his eyes to look at himself, knowing that it was his ugly appearance that had aroused everyone's anger, so his arrogance instantly dropped a few levels, and then he sat down bitterly.

When Boss Wang saw Zhao Xingchuan's understanding, he responded with a straight face and said: "Master Zhang... we definitely have no intention of ruining everyone's business. It's just that Boss Zhou and Boss Lou have different opinions, and we don't know what to do..." "

"Bah!" Zhang Xing shouted suddenly, interrupting the other party on the spot. "Don't talk nonsense about sowing discord. Just talk about the distribution plan between the two of you... Now everyone is holding their breath to listen and judge in public!"

"I……"

"Have you?!" Zhang Xing interrupted the other party again. scolded. "If not, I'll treat you two as abstaining and listen to what the public has to say! If so, let them go as soon as possible!"

Under the attention of all the bosses, Wang and Zhao looked at each other for a while at the banquet, but it was impossible for them to tell nonsense about who got it and who got it in public. If they did, they would only be regarded as "shameless people" His name was scolded for nothing.

"No." Boss Wang, who was afraid of rats, forced himself to take a breath. "Now I just want to hear Mr. Zhang's strategy...Does Mr. Zhang have it?"

When Zhang Xing heard this, he threw away the knife in his hand without hesitation, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Zhou Yiyi first, then to Louhuan Er, and then handed them over before speaking:

"Boss, Boss Zhou spoke before and said that he can speak freely today... But with all due respect, we have to do business tomorrow. If everyone has an account in their mind and has their own agenda, the business will be done tomorrow, I'm afraid. We have to make a mess and throw away gold beads for nothing... Therefore, we have to ask Boss Zhou to come up with an idea at the end, I'm just saying this."

"Mr. Zhang is an honest man and can handle things!" Du Pozhen, the poorest person in the room, took advantage of the situation and shouted. "It doesn't hurt to listen to his words."

Zhang Xing paused for a moment and could only smile bitterly: "Actually, Boss Zhou and Boss Lou have both spoken out, and they are both public-minded. What can I do better? I just want to be a slap on the table. Get rid of the troublemakers, make peace, and settle the matter as soon as possible... What I mean is, please ask Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lou to give a discount... For example, I agree with taking the father-in-law away, but don't take too much or smoke. 20% should be placed in the Dangshan Juyi Hall. However, after all, a few people in the east are far away from home and are still thinking of going back to celebrate the New Year. However, the remaining 80% or 90% should be distributed to their families as soon as possible on a per capita basis. , let them go back to the Eastern Territory to spend the New Year first, and then come back to discuss where they belong."

The hall was silent for a moment. This was just a way to make peace. Zhang Laosan was so polite, who could say whether it was good or bad?

"I agree." While the two bosses were still twirling their beards and rubbing their bellies, Du Pozhen was the first to respond.

Everyone knew that Du Pozhen was an old friend of Master Zhang, but they had nothing to say.

But since Du Pozhen said this, several Dongjing gangsters thought about the care in Zhang Xing's words and nodded one after another. Seeing this, Boss Lou finally nodded.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Yi.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yi also sighed: "I am doing it for everyone's good, but who knows that everyone has no overall view... So let's do it, 30%, 30% of the public number, we can't say anymore... The key is who can I don’t know if General Chen from Longgang or Mr. Zuo from Huanshuikou will come to speak. When the time comes, I will have to deal with it.”

Several people looked at each other in confusion. After all, it was Boss Han who took the lead in agreeing and settled the matter reluctantly.

It was a noisy and chaotic night, and the next morning, everyone managed to get up, and then ate and gathered... As soon as breakfast was served, the elite sentries who had been sent out before reported back one after another, saying that they were on the other side of Chengfu City, dozens of miles away. The Longgang military camp was silent, and they pretended not to see anyone at all. However, the transport team that was marching from southeast to northwest to Longgang suddenly increased its speed. Several sentry riders came close, and they were all stopped by the Jinyi patrol riders. The master personally dispatched to intercept and kill, as if he had noticed something.

On the one hand, everyone was in high spirits, but on the other hand, they became a little anxious.

Only Lao Han was a little uneasy at this time, and he was talking nonsense about how Long Gang should reply, but no one listened... Boss Zhou Yi stopped putting on airs and immediately ordered the entire army to dispatch troops quickly. Going southwest is to cross the Longgang military camp and conduct an interception.

In the dry and cold winter, five to six thousand troops were deployed in the Central Plains. The smoke and dust billowed like tides and water, and it was impossible to stop them.

The instigator, Zhang Xing and Zhang Baishou, was wearing a brocade robe, a horse, and a scimitar cloak. He had no worries in his heart. He just directed his two to three hundred 'elites' to move forward on the left wing, which was the southeasternmost side of the military formation.

Qin Er followed beside him. He wanted to speak several times, but he just remained silent.

Even Du Po Zhen didn't have much to say at this time. He just led his two to three hundred people and followed closely behind the military force under Zhang Zi's banner.

When the march reached noon, the situation suddenly changed subtly - it is said that all the masters of the Jinyi patrol came out and began to kill the "rebel" sentry riders with all their strength. In a short period of time, not a single sentry rider turned back.

In other words, the Rebels lost their vision.

But it doesn't matter. The general position of the convoy has been figured out before. It is right in front. All you need to do is pass by the two wings at this time... In the words of Boss Zhou, unless those golden-clad dogs can move the car from a distance of two to three hundred paces. Driving through the vortex on thin ice, otherwise the team would be in trouble!

Zhang Xingshen thought so.

Then he immediately followed the military order and urged the headquarters to accelerate toward the southeast, thereby assuming the original task of flanking deeply and outflanking.

But I don’t know why, Master Zhang’s outflanking was a little bit to the southeast. A few subtle people tried to ask, but they found that even Du Po Zhen, the leader of Du Da, had no words to say. They just followed, but they had nothing to say. .

In this way, we drove a full seven or eight miles to the southeast. Everyone was panting, but they finally saw the swirling water in the distance. However, Mr. Zhang did not order to turn around and head northwest against the vortex to meet them, but instead ordered the entire army to stop on the spot.

Du Po Formation also stopped, and the two teams rested together.

Immediately, everyone saw clearly that Boss Zhang, Boss Du, Second Master Qin, and Uncle Fu had gathered together, but they just stood on a small slope and looked at each other in silence. After a while, Chef Fan organized his team and walked up the slope, panting and shaking his body fat, ready to participate.

But at this moment, suddenly, a loud cry of killing came from the northwest, causing the five people and countless subordinate gangsters to all look up.

Chef Fan was stunned, and was the first to speak: "Four heads, do you want us to go over? We're late, so I'm afraid we won't be able to grab it, right?"

Du Pozhen and Fu Boshi looked at each other without saying a word. Zhang Xing and Qin Bao looked at each other without saying a word. Only Zhang Xing shook his head slightly.

Chef Fan had no choice but to come and wait with the four of them.

And after waiting for a while, he heard the noise getting louder and louder, and it lasted for a long time, but he finally realized: "I know, there are some really powerful people in the Jinyi patrol team of Jing'antai. They are really tough over there. Go!" It's too late and you'll die...Brother Zhang came from the Jing'antai Gongmen. He knows the inside story and wants to save the brothers from casualties! Now we can send out troops to pick up the leaks!"

Zhang Xing still didn't say anything, but sighed.

Chef Fan turned pale and could only stand in front of the four horses with his hands folded.

Sure enough, another quarter of an hour passed, and the shouts of death became louder and louder, with the momentum of being pushed along the Guohe River from the northwest. Chef Fan was completely uneasy, but he could only try to be brave enough to see Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing looked at the stream of light flashing on the billowing smoke to the north, and even the fleeing people were vaguely visible, but without hesitation, he turned back to look at Du Po Zhen: "Brother Du... Chen Ling is a man with evil intentions. If He knows that I am here, and he is afraid that he will eat one by one. Even the second dragon of the Sima family has warned and said that he is not safe... You should turn around and leave now. Don't go back to Huanshui. That's okay. It’s not safe. Just go down the whirlpool. Take your people and the people from the Immortal Cave with them. If you see a few useful ones, take them if you can. If you can’t, they will throw them away halfway. The way...I will deliver the money as soon as possible, and the person will come back as soon as possible after the new year."

Du Pozhen nodded, turned around and went downhill with Fu Boshi, and urged his headquarters to head towards the vortex immediately.

At this time, Zhang Xingfang and Qin Bao looked at the fat cook who took a few steps back.

The latter was sweating profusely and shook his head: "So this is the brother named Chen who is not authentic and wants to eat Mangdang Mountain? Mr. Zhang, although you know this, you must be Mr. Zuo's man, and he has done Now that you have the boss, you should protect your brothers."

"Third brother has protected the most innocent people, just more than you think." Qin Bao suddenly spoke first, holding an iron gun. "Chef Fan, let's be honest with you. Chen Ling and the Zuo brothers are also part of the third brother's plan. We are originally members of the Jing'an Taiwan patrol team. We came here to protect the fleet... nothing else."

After saying that, Qin Bao directly reined in his horse and passed Chef Fan, shouting repeatedly, to scold the bandits in the Immortal Cave and let them escape with Boss Du.

The movement in the distance could no longer be concealed. At this moment, they heard Qin Bao shouting and saw Du Po Formation really leading everyone towards the whirlpool. Everyone was horrified for a moment and almost collapsed. Some of them chose to follow, and some Choosing to flee, a few people actually chose to stay where they were to see Zhang Xing and Qin Bao.

But Qin Bao just waved his iron gun to drive him away. One of them, the Xuzhou soldier, seemed to have noticed something and asked sternly, but Qin Bao shot him.

Seeing this scene, Chef Fan completely lost his voice and could only stand speechless.

And Zhang Xing finally said immediately: "Dafan... there are too many people, and the officials and the robbers are divided. I have tried my best. At this time, I can only let these people live their own lives... But you, after all, we have met each other." , if you are willing, I can be your guarantee and let you go to Dongdu to make a living."

Chef Fan looked back at the smoke that was getting closer and closer in the direction of the fighting sound, and then looked back at Zhang Xing. He stared for a long time, took a few breaths, and actually shook his head:

"You also said that there are two kinds of officials and bandits. Since you are an official and I am just a bandit, how can I walk the same path?"

With that said, Zhang Xing stumbled down the slope directly under Zhang Xing's eyes. He passed over Qin Erlang, who was still stained with blood on the tip of his spear, and called to the last few die-hards to follow him and escape to the southeast... Qin Erlang Er glanced back at Zhang Xing, but just ignored him and turned back to the slope.

Only four to five hundred bandits escaped from the formation and dispersed easily. Zhang Xing took off his cloak and stood on the slope with Qin Bao and continued to watch the battle. By this time, although the specific battle situation could not be seen clearly, the outcome of the battle was clearly decided, because in the field of vision, there were already armored and armed Wei sergeants, and a few bandits who knew the opportunity had also abandoned the northeast direction. The way they came is with the army formation, and they are escaping here.

Most people passing by here only called Chen Ling treacherous, and they didn't know who shouted it first, but Zhang and Qin just stood still.

Until they saw a horse approaching in a panic from a distance, and the person on the horse was wearing a red cloak. It was none other than Zhao Xingchuan, who was the first to cross the Huan River yesterday.

"This is a man who has access to two small meridians of the Qi Meridian. Can we keep him?" Zhang Xingxian asked Qin Bao.

Qin Bao nodded: "I think it's okay!"

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and then laughed: "Let him stay for a while, but let him go!"

Qin Bao immediately nodded with understanding.

As he said this, Zhang Baishou rode up to meet him, then came from a distance and asked: "Boss Zhao... what's going on in front?"

"Zhang Laosan, I haven't asked you yet!" Zhao Xingchuan became angry when he saw these two people. "The good news you spread... do you know that Longgang Chen Ling is basically using a trick to eat us!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xing continued to lift his horse forward with a serious look on his face. "If this is the case, the three masters of the Zuo family will not let it go. My golden cone cannot be fake."

"Bullshit golden cone..." Zhao Xingchuan was about to curse again, but suddenly he saw a person behind him raising a big iron gun. There were still blood stains on the iron gun, but he suddenly woke up and realized it completely. Then he immediately turned around and headed east in embarrassment. Duck down.

After escaping from handing over the horse, he looked back. His eyes were splitting for a moment, but he didn't dare to fight. He could only clamp the horse's belly and run away - he seemed to hate Chen Ling's little trick to the extreme.

Zhang Qin and Zhang Qin did not give chase, because at this moment, a stream of light flashed from the direction of the battlefield and fell directly on the small slope - the person coming was a golden helmet and golden armor, holding a halberd, but it was Sima Zheng who came in person. .

"Zhang Sanlang."

Sima Zheng arrived, his clothes and armor were neat and tidy, but when he calmly handed over the halberd, a little blood spilled from the halberd. "What a wonderful plan. You deserve the most credit for what happened today."

Zhang Xing knew the other party's temper, so he did not dismount and directly returned the gift: "Did Sima Changjian come to see me specifically?"

"Of course." Sima Zheng responded with a smile. "Your home patrol has a word with me. If you make a mistake, I will have to pay for it with my life. How dare you not come over? Zhang Sanlang, on the other hand, became the leader in a few days. I killed Zhou Yi's Chinese army and couldn't find him. When I saw you, I was frightened and chopped off the head of another person named Lou before I found out that you were here."

Zhang Xing didn't say anything, he just felt tired now.

However, after thinking of something, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm fine. If Sima Changjian is interested, why not go back and keep an eye on Chen Ling... This person is really dishonest."

Sima Zheng thought for a while and then asked: "What do you mean by not being honest at this time? Are you afraid that he will deliberately commit murder to suppress his reputation, or are you afraid that he will deliberately indulge and still cause trouble to the fleet."

"Both." Zhang Xingyi said.

"Then do you think this is good?" Sima Zheng thought for a moment before replying. "I will replace someone and come back to keep an eye on you two, not to guard against bandits, but to guard against Chen Ling... Then I will go back to supervise Chen Ling. Once he has cleared the main battlefield, I will force him to send troops to Jishan immediately. It must be done before tonight Lay out all three thousand soldiers on the edge of the Huan River... This will not only allow the old, weak and innocent to escape, but also prevent thieves from harassing the fleet."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing finally dismounted and solemnly handed over his hands: "Sima Changjian has an upright heart and an upright man, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Sima Zheng nodded, and a stream of light rose from the ground. Under him, the swirling water and the Central Plains land that had not changed for thousands of years were filled with smoke and dust. Three thousand soldiers were arrayed neatly, laying down from the upper reaches of the swirling water. It's like overwhelming force. Zhang Xing didn't know why, but he didn't care about such a majestic appearance, but just turned back to the southeast.

ps: On the third day of the first lunar month... I will continue to wish you all a happy New Year. Good night.
