Who is Xu Dalang?
He is the actual head of the most powerful family in Jibei, a remnant of the Eastern Qi ancestral lineage, a person who naturally has a reactionary attitude towards the Wei Dynasty because the top official career passed down from generation to generation was interrupted, and the largest group of criminals around Juye Ze. leader.
This kind of person has done a lot of illegal things, but he has lived a good life until now.
But today, just when all knowledgeable people, including him, felt that his biggest enemy, the Wei Dynasty, was beginning to embark on the road of no return, he was covered in hair because of a mere case of stealing a royal horse. Start sweating.
The reason couldn't be simpler. If this is not a good thing, I am afraid that my family will be confiscated and my family will be exterminated.
The others, whether it was Li Shu or Xiong Bonan, also obviously realized something, and then fell silent for a while.
To put it bluntly, at this time, even if you really rebelled, no one might care about you, because it was too chaotic, and there were too many people who automatically turned into rebels... With so many people running away, wouldn't it be enough to kill hundreds of people in public? A provocation? Did you delay and continue running and become a rebel?
But after losing a few royal horses, the people in Jing'antai were under direct pressure from the top, and they needed to make arrangements. In addition, time was in a hurry, so even if the royal horses were not in the hands of your Xu family, it would still be very important. You, the Xu family, may be responsible... Who makes you the number one criminal around Juye Ze?
No wonder Xu Dalang lost his composure.
"That's it." When Zhang Xing saw that the other party had woken up, he actually stopped talking about the matter and continued to look at Li Shu. He seemed to be more interested in this unexpected person. "Mr. Li...are you just coming back to show off?"
Li Shu glanced at Xu Dalang, who was sweating profusely, and then carefully looked at the soldier who was defeated on the river two years ago. He actually stood up and saluted solemnly again, and his tone was much more cautious:
"I'm ashamed. I fled in embarrassment at that time, and I've been on the move for the past two years. I actually forgot Brother Zhang's name... I'm really ashamed."
"My name is Zhang Xing. I am a person who left my hometown. I came out from the North. I first went to serve as a soldier. As a result, I met the Second Expedition of Dongyi. After that, I sent my brother back home for burial, and then I went to Jing'antai with Bai Xunjian. Now, Working as a deputy general inspector in Fulongwei." Zhang Xing stood up and returned the greeting while reintroducing himself. "It's been such a long time, and it's such a chance encounter on the river. It's strange that I remember it... Mr. Li, let's all sit down."
"That's it." Li Shu sat down again and sighed again. "It's only been two years since the army was defeated and Fulongwei's deputy inspector was appointed. It seems that I, Li Shu, have underestimated the heroes of the world."
"Brother Zhang has done a great job in the past two years." Xiong Bonan glanced at Xu Dalang, who was still sweating. He was inexplicably panicked, but he just forced himself to speak calmly to the other two. "There are heroes in the East, Central Plains, Jin, and even Hebei who wish him well... However, the most fundamental thing is Huaishang. Everyone in Jianghuai is convinced. The huge Huaiyou Alliance was established by him. , and even personally killed a Dongyi Ningdan guest... Jiangdong seems to have a method, but I don’t know much about it.”
Li Shu nodded repeatedly, and then his tone became more solemn, finally replying to the other party's question: "Actually, to be honest with Brother Zhang, with my status, I am destined to rebel against Wei anytime and anywhere... When I came back at first, I really just wanted to To avoid suspicion, but after landing in Bohai County, I saw that the people were afraid of the conquest and the people's livelihood was exhausted. When I arrived at Xu Dalang's place, I saw with my own eyes that even the troops controlled by the imperial commander could not stop fleeing, so naturally I had some thoughts in my heart..."
"Is there a plan?" Zhang Xing asked further.
"It's true not." Li Shu responded seriously. "Because I just wanted to wait until after the three conquests of Dongyi... Yang Shen's defeat, I learned a lesson to some extent, and I can't give people an excuse to echo Dongyi, especially since I have an embarrassing background now... In fact, Brother Zhang didn't also Are you resentful of me because of this?"
"The truth is correct, but this moment is the same as the other moment." Zhang Xing shook his head. "I think it doesn't matter if it's more urgent... What the common people are most afraid of at this time is going to Dongyilang to die... If someone can stand up and shout openly at this time, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people can gather in one fell swoop, and If you have soldiers, armor and cultivators, you can stay in Juyeze for a while, and then contact the heroes from all over. When the three expeditions are completely defeated, it may not be impossible to take the opportunity to launch an attack on the prefectures and counties."
Xiong Bonan on the side had already stuttered and clenched his fists, but Li Shu just nodded and did not directly express his position. Instead, he looked at Xu Dalang who finally sat back.
Zhang Xing smiled and looked at Xu Shiying: "How about it, has Xu Dalang thought clearly?"
"What else can I do?" Xu Shiying responded in embarrassment. "Brother Zhang went to Fulongwei, maybe he can talk to the Jing'an Taiwan patrol team here?"
"If I can get there, I won't come here again." Brother Zhang responded calmly. "I've eliminated it for you... Or let's be honest, Luo Fang of the first patrol team and Xue Liang of the third patrol team who came out to investigate the case this time are both the adopted sons of Cao Zhongcheng of Jing'an Station, and they were originally with Bai Chang Jian still has me to deal with; and Zhang Changgong of the second patrol team is originally the person to replace Bai Chang Jian, and it is not easy to bribe... His father is one of the eight nobles left behind in Dongdu, and his grandfather is from the southeast slope of the river. That old Master Zhang.”
Xu Dalang's eyelids obviously twitched, but he still managed to maintain his composure: "In this case, can we only avoid it for a while?"
Zhang Xing sneered in response.
Xu Shiying was embarrassed for a moment.
Xiong Bonan, on the other hand, obviously didn't see the three riddles, and couldn't help but ask: "Just to avoid it? Brother Zhang was so clear just now... Taking advantage of this opportunity, we entered Juye Ze together and defeated Li Sir, using your Xu Dalang's family background and foundation, I will contact the heroes in the Central Plains of Hebei, and Brother Zhang will win over the defeated troops... won't it be done? Isn't this the opportunity we have been waiting for for two or three years?! "
Xu Shiying became increasingly embarrassed, and Li Shu hesitated to speak.
"Brother Xiong, this matter is not that simple." Zhang Xing explained to Xiong Bonan. "Let me do it... First of all, Mr. Li has his own ideas. He has learned from Yang Shen. Not only is he unwilling to take advantage of the Three Zhengs to cause trouble, but he is also afraid that he does not want to be the first to take the lead, so that he will cause trouble. The attention of the Wei court, and the thought of having to fight head-on with the elites of the Wei Dynasty, and even contacting the scholars in Hebei, the Central Plains, and the Eastern Border for further discussion... Because the Wei soldiers were only afraid of going to Luolongtan to conquer Dongyi, unable to fight internal rebellions, is still tyrannical, and this worry is very reasonable."
Li Shu had no expression on his face and said nothing, but he still twirled his beard and glanced at Zhang Xing one more time.
"As for Xu Dalang, if he is younger, I won't be merciful... He has a strong mentality and is unwilling to give up his family wealth. Even with his intelligence and vision, he could see early that the Wei Dynasty was about to collapse and the world was going to be in chaos. He knew in his heart that he should go out to gamble and start writhing, but he still couldn't let go of these foundations... The cunning rabbit has three holes. I will leave later. He calmly cleaned up and led the crowd to Zhuangzi in another county to hide. The people in Jingantai were just for The emperor is on a mission, and the emperor keeps moving forward. If he cannot be traced for a while, he will naturally use other people around Juye Ze to take his place." At this point, Zhang Xing took it back from Xiong Bonan who sighed. He turned around and looked at Xu Shiying. "Xu Dalang, if you want me, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss with this mentality."
Xu Shiying was extremely embarrassed and could only hand over her hand: "Ashamed."
"You really should be ashamed." Zhang Xing didn't give the other party any face. "It's nothing else. I, Zhang Sanlang, have some feelings about people... When we were on the river, even though you were young, your brilliance could not be concealed among all the heroes. Now we see you again, up and down, Inside and outside, it looks even more extraordinary... And I am still saying those words on the river, you must be a real dragon, you must recognize your own abilities and talents, troubled times are coming, and you can soar into the sky without the barriers of this rich man. These things around you can be a stepping stone or a hindrance to people like you, but they must not be put before the horse and regarded as fundamental!"
Xu Shiying could only turn her face away... To be honest, with Xu Dalang's temperament as the king of hell when he was young, whoever followed him like this would have gone in with a white knife and come out with a red knife. But now one is older and gradually matures; , the person in front of me who has only met twice has also lived like this when he was in dire straits. I can only say that he is telling the truth, and he really feels that Xu Dalang is a real dragon bound, and is not a temporary ridicule; thirdly, in the end, he He is here to save lives. After this incident, unless King Xiongtian and this person can be silenced together, he will have to bear the family's kindness for the rest of his life.
After Zhang Xing finished, he smiled at Xiong Bonan again: "Brother Xiong... just the two of them, if not myself, it would look hypocritical... In fact, I only met them once, so why would I follow them two?" Go to Juye Zeluocao? You don’t know, right? Because of Huairong’s contribution when I met you, I have now been promoted from the fifth rank, and with the help of the Bai family, I have been transferred to the state and county to become a real power. The county governor is just one step away. Even if he wants to do something, he can do it himself, so why should these two be the third or fourth boss? If you are willing then, come to me and let's try to do something together. "
Xiong Bonan heard clearly and knew that three of the four people here had evil intentions. He was the only one who had no evil intentions, but he still couldn't help but retorted: "Zhang Sanlang, why should you laugh at yourself... I think you are a true loyal person. That day Huairong sent me out, and today he came to save the lives of Xu Dalang and his family..."
"That's what I mean." Zhang Xing stood up suddenly and answered frankly. "I came today just because Xu Dalang and I had a sense of loyalty that day on the river. Regardless of whether we accepted it in the end, we would eventually return it, so it was just a personal relationship. I just wanted to save his family's lives... As for him, a powerful Central Plains man who bullies the weak, On the contrary, do you have the courage? What is your future? What can I, a farmer from the North, do? The world is in chaos and the roads are smelly. If you really have the ambition to save the world, there will be many people to save. Isn't it my turn to save a strong man like him first? Farewell!"
Then, he turned out directly.
Xiong Bonan got angry when he heard that, stamped his feet, and was about to chase him out, but finally he came to his senses and turned back to look at the remaining two people: "If this Saburo is hit by someone from Jing'antai, he will inevitably be in trouble. I'll take him fifty or sixty miles away...you guys stay busy."
Then, he went out directly, leaving Xu Shiying and Li Shu where they were. They were stunned for a long time, and the people outside neighed, and then they looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Who would have thought that another defeated soldier who met on the roadside at that time could be such a person?" Li Shu sighed for a moment. "I have been in Dongyi for two years and I haven't seen many decent heroes."
Xu Dalang just covered his face and smiled, but felt sad for a moment.
On the other side, Zhang Xing borrowed a horse, leaving the yellow gelding vacant, and drove straight back to the military city.
And the purple-faced king Xiong Bonan has a arrogant temper. He feels that Zhang Xing is loyal and wants to repay the kindness of that day, but it is not easy to do it in person. However, relying on Zixia's true energy, it is not too obvious at night, and he is far behind. Soaring low in the sky... Unexpectedly, he could not travel more than three or five miles when a golden light suddenly flashed from his side and behind, forcing him to stop.
The two met each other. Xiong Bonan was surprised for a moment, then realized, and then carefully handed over his hand: "Is it Inspector Bai?"
"It's a regular inspection." Bai Yousi said to him at night. "I was afraid that Xu Dalang would do something dirty, so I came here with Deputy Chang Jian... Thank you, King, please come back!"
Xiong Bonan wanted to ask what the relationship between the other party and Zhang Sanlang was, and why he looked down on Xu Dalang? Moreover, this power seems to be a pill, and the progress is profound. How can it be so powerful?
But after all, I still felt that these words were a bit redundant and really unfamiliar, so I handed them over without embarrassment and turned around to go back.
As for Zhang Xing, he continued to gallop away. Along the way, he encountered several civilians and soldiers who fled at night. Fortunately, relying on his mastery of the two extraordinary meridians, he was able to avoid danger every time, not even the Golden Cone. He moved, and then arrived outside the military city before the fourth watch, but he was not in a hurry to enter... Instead, he waited for a while until it got light, and the military city began to prepare breakfast. Taking advantage of another round of noise and chaos, He calmly threw down Xu Dalang's horse, led the yellow gelding back into the military city, and entered the tent to take a rest.
The entire process was unaware of Bai Yousi's behavior and what happened behind him.
Qin Bao did not come to ask any unnecessary questions, but took the initiative to remind Zhang Xing when he got up to eat: "There were too many people fleeing last night, and even the Jinwu guards in front of the emperor escaped. Qian Tang noticed that the third brother was not there early, and he was going to eat right away. I guess I’ll have to ask some time.”
Zhang Xing nodded, not taking it seriously.
After a while, Zhang Xing finished washing and went out to eat. As soon as the bowls were served, Qian Tang said, "Where did Zhang Sanlang go last night?"
"I went to chase a fugitive from Jinwu Guard." Zhang Xing responded sincerely while drinking his porridge. "That's a talented person. I always thought I could get along with him, but he ran away... I wanted to persuade him and come back before others noticed... In the end, I caught him, but he refused to come back, and I didn't embarrass him. , so he turned back by himself...and then waited outside the military city until dawn before he could come in."
After hearing this, Qian Tang also sighed: "A talent that can be valued by you, Zhang Sanlang, must be really capable. Why did he escape?"
The surrounding Fulong Guards also sighed for a while.
But after a while, someone among them became uneasy: "Be it the time of the late emperor, he returned in defeat three times. But among those who crossed Luolongtan, not even one out of ten escaped... Third brother, you are also here." After escaping for the first time...are you not afraid?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiaobai Shou Wang Zhen took the lead in scolding. "We are Fulong Guards. We can't escape from the imperial front, and we don't have to actually fight..."
The man then lowered his head and ate the cake.
Wang Zhen, on the other hand, was a little uneasy, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, everyone thinks you are the wise man, so you... can we really keep it safe? Can Fulongwei keep it safe? Just keep the imperial front safe. ?"
Zhang Xing originally wanted to scold him, but when he thought about it carefully, he was also completely stunned... Yes, is Yu Qian going to keep it safe?
I just came here two years ago, and I already knew that this was not bullshit Sui and Tang Dynasties, so naturally it was not the Three Conquests of Korea, or it was just the Three Conquests of Korea. Wouldn't it be quite reasonable if it was mixed with a bullshit civil fortress plot?
Isn’t God’s will unpredictable?
It's as if I haven't figured out yet whether the background of the script that Emperor Bai got from the so-called God's Will was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty or Marquis Zhuge Wu.
At this thought, Zhang Sanlang was sweating profusely and could not answer.
The surrounding Fulongwei looked at each other in shock.
"What are you afraid of?!" At this moment, Qian Tang couldn't bear it. "Don't forget that there are Changjian and Fulongyin... With Changjian and Fulongyin here, plus the hundred or ten of us Qijing masters, even if the Governor of Dongyi dares to come, so what if it's us? Opponent? Still can’t escape?!”
Everyone was relieved for a moment.
Even Zhang Xing also realized that everything will work out for you, old ladies, the Jinglong Sword is also in your hands, and the overall situation is uncertain. Do you still have to worry about escaping?
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately drank down the ice porridge in his hand, and then said calmly: "Qian Heishou is good, everything has its own constant inspection. If you can't trust me, can't you trust the Yitian Sword?"
When everyone heard Deputy Changjian Zhang speak, they were shocked and their morale was slightly boosted.
In this way, Zhang Xing didn't know how the Yuma case was concluded, because there was still an endless stream of people fleeing from the army, causing all kinds of chaos. What's interesting is that because of the existence of the military city, such escapes were almost obvious... Even in mid-March, only two hundred miles away from Dengzhou, the small military city in Hebei could no longer be maintained and almost collapsed... The saint, the saint, never showed up again from this moment on. .
Zhang Xing came to his senses and realized that the old man Sima Changying still had two skills. He was simply an artist who controlled the mind of a certain saint.
After another six or seven days, the army finally arrived in Dengzhou. The Dengzhou camp was just around the corner. Qin Bao hurriedly asked for leave and went to pick up his mother and take refuge in the city. The generals from Youzhou, Hejian, Xuzhou and Jiangdu also gathered... ... What surprised people was that the troops brought by these four battalions unexpectedly maintained both quantity and quality.
Moreover, the main generals of the four major towns actually took the lead in the battle sincerely. From Li Cheng of Youzhou to Jiangdu, they all sincerely asked for battle. They even said that they could sweep away the five Dongyi countries by attacking from the north and the south and advancing by land and water. Ten states.
This also revived the saint's spirit, and he felt that he could do it again.
As for Zhang Xing, at this time, he suddenly heard a folk song in the army:
Zhi Shilang in front of Yimeng Mountain, wearing red brocade back crotch.
The long branches invade half of the sky, and the wheel-knife shines brightly in the sun.
They go up the mountain to eat deer and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.
Suddenly, when I heard the officers and soldiers were arriving, I raised my sword and swung forward.
For example, if you die crossing the beach, what harm will you get if you behead?
Come, come, come, Wuxiang Dongyilang dies, and no one has buried him for ten years!
Yimeng Mountain is the mountain range between Xuzhou, Juyeze, and Dengzhou. It is also the largest mountain range in the east. It may be two hundred miles behind the Dengzhou camp, on the road where civilians transport grain.
Someone reported this matter to the sage. The sage asked the three ministers in front of him. Sima Xianggong and Yu Xianggong were silent. Zhang Hanxianggong came out and spoke calmly:
"This must have been done by Dongyi spies. The situation is so poor that we can only take this small path."
The saint nodded on the spot, no longer taking it seriously, and discussed the march with the generals.
It was late March. Li Ding, as the envoy of Dushui, stopped at the mouth of the river a little further away. Qin Bao had already returned and lined up with Zhang Xing, Bai Yousi, Qian Tang, Wang Zhen, Zhou Xingfan and other Fulong guards. Within the camp.
At the same time, the three ministers Sima Changying, Yu Changji, and Zhang Han were present in front of the emperor, as well as the fourteenth generals Lai Zhan'er, Zhou Xiaoming, Li Cheng, Luo Shu, Luo Xin and other generals.
Luo Fang, Xue Liang, Zhang Changgong and other Jingantai third patrol team were also there.
Others, such as King Cao Ming of Qi, Governor Niu of Beiya, several concubines, princesses and princes, are also there.
Not to mention, when the superiors were talking about marching into the army, what made Zhang Xing concerned was that Sima Zheng also showed up. He arrived with a group of supplies and was immediately named Huben Zhonglang General. This is the Jinwu Guard. The theoretical top leader under special responsibilities.
Everyone realized that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
ps: Good night.
