"The leader of the right wing of the Deposed Dragon Gang, Zhang Xing, issued an order:
Here is the governor of Beiya, Gao Jiang, who has always been lawless and extremely kind to welcome the evil of the king! The two constructions of the Tongtian Tower were intensified, and more than 10,000 innocent people died from exhaustion and smashed to death. When he went against the will of heaven, he drove tens of thousands of people from the imperial court and traveled south in the snow. Countless people were frozen and exhausted. This person despises human life, and is no different from a foolish king. He should be put to death to set the record straight..."
"Depose the leader of the right wing of the Dragon Gang, Zhang Xing, and Mr. Zhang Sanye have given an order:
Here is Gao Jiang, the governor of Beiya... Jishan is handsome and knows evil... Tired to death of tens of thousands of innocent people... This man despises human life and is no different from a foolish king. He should be cut off and set an example! "
Xiao Zhou muttered something in a low voice, and King Xiongtian followed him.
It can be heard that shouting loudly with his true energy is not a very difficult task for the Xiongtian King in the Chengdan realm. The key is what to shout... Xiongtian King is not illiterate, but against a fake model like Zhang Xing It's still wrong to pretend to be formal. The first half is very difficult to learn, but after understanding the meaning of the second half, I can just play freely.
Of course, Zhang Xing didn't care, because he wrote it so plainly in the first place so that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side could understand it, so that these leaderless stewards could be more relaxed and honest... In the final analysis, killing people Of course, there are rules on how to kill, but the killing itself still needs to be a shock.
Then the second half was changed, and it seemed better to let the servants, soldiers, palace servants and civilians who were watching around listen to the same thing.
Zhang Xing regretted not shouting in vernacular from the beginning.
After shouting twice, King Xiongtian looked back and saw Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the bank of Huanshui outside Tuyuan Villa, nodded slightly, then turned around and personally killed the man who had his legs broken and his mouth tied. But Gao Dugong, who was still struggling, dragged him over, and with just two backhand moves, he broke his arms like sugar cane, until they were completely limp.
Seeing this scene, all the members of the Deposed Dragon Gang were frightened, not to mention Prefect Cao who was paralyzed there, and the Queen who turned around and did not dare to look.
The next process is no different from the previous processes without shouting, just drag them over... The knights of the Dragon Gang who were on duty gathered their true energy, and cut off the owl's head with a knife, and then the head and body were thrown into Xiong Bonan's hand and carved out by his own hands. In the ice hole that was opened, he took a bamboo pole and smashed it, and the person disappeared just like that.
There was no struggle and no sound. It would be difficult for the corpse to be pieced together again in this life.
Moreover, he was very disgraceful before he was killed... Even though Gao Jiang had a fierce temperament, he was already mentally exhausted after a night of restraint. It was even hard to say whether the coquettish smell on his body was due to his incontinence.
Of course, these don't matter. His power, official position, name, temperament, experience, and everything about him turned into a ball of bright red spreading in the water after falling into the clear and clean Huanshui ice pool. It was quickly washed away by the undercurrent.
It's as if everything about this person has never appeared in this world.
The early morning sun was a little bit dazzling, and on the other side of the river, the palaces and chamberlains who were crowded around to look fell into a terrifying silence.
But soon, amidst the cold air on the river and the north wind that was much more relaxed than last night, a commotion began in the military camp to the north of the execution site... That was where the high-level civil and military servants had gathered after last night's raid and commotion. In this place, many high-ranking father-in-laws from Beiya were here, and they were the first to break the silence and fell into hysterical crying.
Immediately afterwards, the local civil and military officials lost their composure, and the defeated generals from Jing'antai under Luo Fang were frightened.
You know, this is easy to say and easy to do. Even when the people from the Deposed Dragon Gang started killing people, they had already been beating the drum in their hearts, but when the matter came, it was still difficult for them to accept that a person The governor of Beiya, who once held all the power in the government and the public, was sentenced to death in an execution style by a "bandit" leader, and then quickly executed by another bandit.
Throw it into the river?
This is the governor of Beiya!
What is Beiya?
It has been the direct management agency of the palace for a long time. They control the Jinwu Guards and control the economic lifeline of most of the Eastern Capital through the Ziwei Palace. They also rely on the companion capital system and the palace system to radiate their influence to all parts of the world.
Everyone calls the North Yamen and the South Yamen together, and compares the Governor of the North Yamen and the Prime Minister of the South Yamen. It may be a bit exaggerated and joking, but everyone also knows that in the Wei Dynasty, where the Zhuguo system was deliberately downplayed, North Korea, they can't find a second institution that can be called Nanya, okay?
Zhongcheng of Jing'antai is just a member of Nanya.
The late emperor established Nanya in order to fight against the military leaders of Guanlong in the entire world, and then he couldn't help but set up Beiya at the center of power to slightly restrain Nanya and Jing'antai... This is a simple check and balance of power. The small tricks may be a bit confusing to the people around the Rabbit Garden, but they still have the basic awareness in their hearts.
Everyone eats Wei Guan’s meal, okay?
"Shut up these white dumplings!"
Amid the cries, Luo Fang suddenly shouted angrily. "If you die, die! The queen has been robbed, who cares about a governor?!"
Luo Taibao's anger had an effect, and these hysterical cries were indeed beyond the limit, so these high-level chamberlains were almost kicked out of the barracks by the garrison on the spot.
It sounds ridiculous, but almost instantly, everyone realized that these father-in-laws were no longer qualified to participate in decision-making... Of course, this did not mean that they could ignore the shock caused by Gao Dugong's death.
As soon as the father-in-law left, Huang Juncheng from Liang County stared directly at Luo Taibao:
"Luo Zhushou, as you said, it doesn't matter if a governor dies, but what about my county prince? The officials and troops here are all subordinates of my county prince. Even Uncle Cao regards my county prince as his arm; but also There is a queen, she is a queen after all, and there are several concubines and princesses who are simply saints and the honor of the entire Wei Dynasty. If Zhang Ni continues to kill, what will we do?"
By the end of the sentence, this person was already crying. It was almost conceivable that if Cao Wang, the prefect, died, they, the local officials, would probably imitate those father-in-laws in mourning.
In fact, as the hysterical father-in-laws were driven out of the military camp, the cries had begun to spread to the inner servant camp.
This kind of execution-style deterrence cannot be solved with a slap in the face, especially for the people in the palace, executing a governor is really scary.
Turning around, Luo Fang faced Huang Juncheng's almost mournful plea for help, but felt his head was numb.
He thought about it all night last night and couldn't figure it out. How did Zhang Xing lead the elite core force of the Deposed Dragon Gang to Tuyuan without alerting anyone? Why didn't anyone shout out? Why didn't anyone notice? Why are the shots so accurate and ruthless?
Compared with this, the loss of Gushu and Xiayi, the shock of meeting Xiong Bonan last night, seeing Xue Liang chopped off half of his hand by another inexplicable pill condensation master, and listening to the people who escaped said that Zhang Xing It is very possible that there is no limit to the access to the Ningdan, but it is no longer a big deal.
Because as the county magistrate reminded me, the seriousness of the problem is that the raid caused the queen and Governor Cao to fall into the hands of the thieves... The queen doesn't need to say more, but Governor Cao is also in charge!
These two are the real leaders!
Without Governor Cao, who among the local officials and even the local troops will listen to you?
And without these people, what could he do to save the queen?
No matter what, the queen cannot ignore it!
This is equivalent to a fatal blow, paralyzing the entire team.
"Kill them all." Luo Fang was in a trance and replied to Huang Juncheng. "It's okay for us to just send troops to surround him and kill him completely... and then go back and plead guilty and wait to die."
Huang Juncheng turned around and looked at the other local officials, and then continued to ask hurriedly: "What if he only keeps the queen as a hostage and kills the rest? If he dares to kill the governor, doesn't he dare not kill the prefect? What will happen then? manage?"
Luo Fang looked at the other party and did not dare to say a word... because he was afraid that if he continued to analyze further, these local officials would be keenly aware of what they could do then.
It’s almost time to rebel, okay?
You can even directly join the Deposed Dragon Gang, or even encourage the garrison to join the Deposed Dragon Gang.
Thinking of this, Luo Taibao finally realized that although the other party was desperate and came to ask for help, he also came to warn him... He wanted to say, don't use bean bags as dry food!
It's definitely too late to negotiate now, so if Governor Cao dies soon, Taibao Luo is not allowed to kick these local officials out like the group of father-in-laws in Beiya, and he is not allowed to let these local officials take the blame! Otherwise, it’s hard to tell who will make whom look bad.
On the other hand, if Governor Cao escapes this disaster, they will immediately go to negotiate.
Anyway, they are not used to these defeated soldiers from Jing'antai!
At this thought, Luo Taibao's eyes inevitably became sharper: "Wait a minute, we'll talk later. It's no longer up to us to decide who they want to kill... It's too late to negotiate now."
Huang Juncheng also realized that the other party understood what he meant, but he only shrank his head slightly in the cold wind, and then led a group of local officials and waited in silence.
Fortunately, Zhang Xing didn't keep them waiting. Almost immediately, King Xiongtian's voice rang out again.
"Nanya Zhang Shizhao has no moral character..."
"It's Xianggong Zhang! How dare he... did the Lord cross the border?"
As King Xiongtian's voice echoed in the air again, Huang Juncheng and others almost staggered.
Below Luo Fang, all the remaining defeated generals of Jing'antai were stunned one by one... After a while, Li Qingchen, who was clutching his stomach, was the first to get angry:
"He dares to kill Mr. Nanya?! And it's Mr. Zhang?!"
"If I had killed him directly by the Luoshui River, how could so many things have happened?!" Luo Fang actually lost his temper again and became furious, but he couldn't help but jumped up to the tent in panic to take a look, then hurriedly jumped down and hid his face Come sigh. "This is the second time this guy has killed Mr. Zhang in front of me!"
Qin Bao and Lu Changheng also looked at each other, also in a trance, and then they all rushed up and stood on the mound to watch.
Even Xue Liang, who had lost half of his hand, staggered out of the tent at this time, and then fell down on the mound in the military camp. He and Li Qingchen looked at each other, each of them not shying away from their shock.
Without him, the people in Jing'antai have long been accustomed to the title Zhang Shizhao and the Prime Minister of their own family, and the status of Nanya Xianggong is indeed a higher level than that of Beiya Governor, not to mention family background and degree. Power and legend have been experienced.
The people in Jing'antai were devastated, and the local civil and military officials in Liang County were in mixed moods, but they all looked around and saw with their own eyes a gray-haired man who was muzzled and had his legs broken. He was also dragged over. He cut off the owl's head with a knife, then threw it into the pool, and then stabbed it into the undercurrent under the ice with a bamboo pole.
He was also shocked for a moment.
However, that's it. After killing Mr. Zhang over there, he saw the thief surnamed Zhang passing by from a distance, and actually used his ice energy to seal the ice cave. Then, several female captives were released in public, and four or five male captives whose legs were obviously broken were also thrown to the west bank of Huanshui River.
For a time, only four or five female family members and one male prisoner were left on the east bank of the Huan River.
The news was quickly received, and the people who were sent back were some female officials beside the queen and four or five prisoners who had a good reputation but did not choose to surrender, including one Zhu Shou Shen Ding. Among those who were left on the other side, surprisingly It was the queen and a low-ranking concubine, plus a little princess who recognized the queen as her adoptive mother, as well as two female officials, and a prefect Cao who was sitting there pretentiously throughout the whole process.
Human joys and sorrows are not the same.
After a while, the leaderless local officials cheered up and took matters into their own hands.
Although the remnants of Jingantai's defeated generals were filled with false anger, they did not dare to conflict with these people again... After all, seeing Zhang Xing kill the governor of Beiya and the husband of Nanya, these former colleagues were also really panicked. If the other party really continues to kill Cao Wang, then the local officials may really rebel.
Moreover, there is really nothing they can do.
When the local envoy from Liang County arrived, Zhang Xing, who was packing his things, simply laid out the conditions:
"I came out this time, firstly, to pay homage to the queen, secondly, to kill the traitor, and thirdly, because the gang was short of food, money, and supplies... Now that the traitor has been put to death, as long as Liangjun is willing to bring the people's fat and anointment with him, as well as Songcheng I will give all the weapons and treasury to me, and at the same time the whole county will open warehouses to help the people, so I will immediately withdraw to Jiyin, and Grand Administrator Cao will also immediately invite you back... As for the queen, she is here to pay her respects. When she returns to Jiyin, please have a look at your highness. After enjoying the scenery of Jiyin for a moment, I immediately followed His Highness on the road again."
"Are you sure? Just money, food and supplies?" After a moment, the local Huang Juncheng, who hurriedly led the crowd to greet the envoy, was too late to ask. "What did Chengchi say?"
"We can talk about anything he says." The messenger said frankly.
Hearing this, the Liang County magistrates and captains, including the two station army lieutenant generals and the resident black ribbon, all became excited, and some of them even started to celebrate... In the final analysis, there is no In the absence of any initiative, is there a better path to take?
If the property, weapons, and food were exchanged for Cao Cao, the city would be restored. Even if the higher-ups were to investigate, wouldn't Cao Cao be responsible for it?
They were all trying to save the Junjun. Should the Junjun blame them? Shouldn't the commander-in-chief be brave enough to take responsibility?
Even further, if the matter is settled and the county monarch maintains the relationship with Uncle Cao, can this item be reimbursed at Luokou warehouse?
The only problem seemed to be the team's accompanying belongings, which belonged to the palace after all.
Just as this group of people was gradually becoming more and more enthusiastic, on the other side, in a tent only a few dozen steps away, the atmosphere was solemn... After listening to Shen Ding, who was lying on the couch, describing the conditions, the people in Jing'antai They are all a little tired.
Because they have realized that the situation is beyond their control.
In other words, things have been destined to be at the mercy of others since someone stabbed the throat last night... However, as Zhang Xing's former colleagues, the people in Jing'antai always still have a bit of unwillingness and a bit of shame. Plus a hint of anger.
"Now that the matter has come to this, I feel that as long as Zhang Xing is not forced too much, he may not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill the queen." After a while, Li Qingchen came up with a solution that finally gave him some explanation. "And what does the life and death of Governor Cao have to do with us? Doesn't Zhang San want these treasures in the team? So what if we don't give them to him? Dare the troops take action?"
This was to force Zhang Xing to kill Governor Cao in order to control the situation. Luo Fang and others were quite tempted.
Qin Bao, on the other hand, was obviously hesitant to speak.
"Qin Erlang." Li Qingchen noticed it himself and immediately took the initiative to ask. "Is there something wrong?"
"How many of you?" Qin Bao took a long breath. "Do you think Zhang San...Zhang San's blow last night was deliberate, or was it a chance?"
"What do Qin Erlang think?" Lu Changheng asked coldly.
"I think it was a matter of chance... because such a delicate timing cannot be arranged by strategy." Qin Bao answered seriously. "So, he didn't expect such a big result before, so I dare to ask, what was his previous plan?"
There was silence in the tent for a long time, and Shen Ding took the opportunity to pretend to be dead.
"What on earth?!" Luo Fang became a little anxious again.
"I guess we should rely on the two cities of Gushu and Xiayi as strongholds to lock the advance and retreat of the team, and then use a small core of elites to monitor us, entangle the elite forces of our Jingantai, and ensure that our elites of Jingantai We can't just join forces with the garrison to attack the city..." Qin Bao actually explained the basics of Zhang Xing's plan. "As long as we can't capture these two cities, it's freezing cold, and it's impossible to transport supplies for tens of thousands of people across the two cities, we will collapse in just a few days!"
"Ask Huang Juncheng, how many days of supplies are left in the team?" Luo Fang immediately pointed to a patrol rider who was still able to move properly.
As soon as the latter stood up, Lu Changheng raised his hand to stop him: "No need to ask, I know, three days."
"Three days?" Luo Fang was stunned. "Why..."
"Because we could have arrived in Xiayi tomorrow." Li Qingchen clutched his stomach, thoughtfully. "In fact, even if there is a problem with supplies, we can send grain crops today or go down to the city to help... and we actually have an extra day, so we will be rich."
Luo Fang only felt that he had a headache again. He was vaguely aware that he was going to be completely defeated this time, and he didn't know how to see his foster father... The remaining defeated soldiers around him were also silent.
But not long after, the silence was broken. Huang Juncheng suddenly came in on his own initiative, and then raised his hand to Luo Fang who was the one who made the decision.
"What's the matter?" Luo Fang cheered up and asked indifferently.
"The thieves from the Deposed Dragon Gang over there are leaving..." Huang Juncheng said simply. "They want some carriages to carry the Queen, Princess and my Lord."
"Why do you need to ask us about this?" Li Qingchen was so angry that his stomach ached and his face was twisted in pain. "There are masters of elixir creation and elixir condensation, queens, princesses, and eunuchs as hostages, as well as local officials who want to do business with them. We are a group of remnants and defeated generals. What are we going to do? Want to fight again? We are all dead. Is it convenient for you to do things?"
Huang Juncheng glanced coldly at Li Twelve and Li Heishou, who had been chatting happily at the banquet, but sneered: "It really has nothing to do with Li Heishou... It's Zhang Sanlang and Zhang Ni. He said that he has a close friend here. If he doesn't see him before he leaves, One glance, but he seems guilty... I want to invite Qin Erlang to see him!"
At this point, Huang Juncheng finally looked at Qin Bao and asked seriously: "Qin Heisui, can I trouble you to go to the front of the formation for a while... It's better than Shen Zhushou, right?"
Shen Dingqing knew that her gesture last night had spread with the release of the prisoners, so she simply looked above her head and said nothing, while Qin Bao remained silent for a moment under the attention of others in the tent, and then stood up without hesitation.
The people around him were also silent.
After a while, Zhang Xing and others came to Qin Bao on the bank of Huanshui where the north wind was getting stronger.
The two met on the ice. A few steps apart, Qin Bao greeted him and called him third brother, which attracted the attention of the surrounding knights of the Deposed Dragon Gang.
"I'm sure I'll be fine." Zhang Xing stood up with his hands behind his back and smiled. "It's you, is your mother in good health?"
"Not bad."
"Where is Yueniang?" Zhang Xing asked.
"That's fine."
"I asked Sanniang to handle your affairs for me, have you already handled it?" Zhang Xing still couldn't ask further.
"Already dealt with."
"How to deal with it?"
Qin Bao did not dare to be negligent and only gave an approximate summary of Bai Yousi's actions that day.
"That puts me at ease." Zhang Xing sighed. "When I killed Zhang Han in Gushui that day, the people I was most worried about were you and Yueniang. You two were the only ones I had concerns about..."
Qin Bao responded silently, but couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"That's good." Zhang Xing turned towards the shore, took out the death sentence chair, placed it on the ice, and sat down. "Since you have worshiped Sanniang, you must not stop worshiping me. Come, come, come forward, worship me, and then go back!"
Qin Bao looked up at Zhang Xing, then stepped forward and bowed in public without saying a word, once again attracting the attention of the people around him.
After Zhang Xing received the bow, he no longer hesitated. He just waved his hand, stood up, abandoned his chair, and prepared to mount his horse and leave.
It was at this time that Qin Bao suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Third brother, last night here, I bumped back and only met a Ningdan. Did you deliberately let me live?"
"You think you can forget it." Zhang Xing turned around and stopped, holding the knife and smiling. "The main reason is that I was really sleepy at the time and didn't go out."
"Then I think it's okay." Qin Bao said seriously. "Third brother, is it because he knows that my mother and Yueniang are in Dongdu and that it is difficult for me to get out, so he deliberately let me go?"
"Not bad." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and chose to be serious. "Do you feel humiliated?"
"In this world, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive. How can I be humiliated by the kindness of my third brother?" Qin Bao slowly shook his head. "I just want to tell Third Brother that if the two armies fight again next time, if I gain the upper hand, I will try my best to spare Third Brother."
As soon as these words came out, several leaders laughed, and even the local low-level officials who came to deliver the carriage whispered.
Only Zhang Xing said seriously: "Okay!"
"But we can't let each other go like this forever, it's not realistic." Qin Bao suppressed a certain emotion, raised his head and continued to talk seriously. "Third brother, can we make an agreement? If one of us lets go of the other three times first, the other one should give up his own difficulties or ambitions and follow who is the right one... How about?"
Zhang Xing thought for a while and remained serious: "Okay, let's make an agreement."
Qin Bao quickly bowed his head, fearing that others would see that he couldn't hold back his tears.
However, Zhang Xing just acted as if he didn't hear anything, directly lit up his yellow gelding, and headed towards Gushu City upstream along the river. The garrison stationed upstream only gave way to the passage at the urging of local officials.
At noon that day, everyone arrived in the city, gathered Niuda and subsequent reinforcements, and then settled down.
At this time, I should have gone to hot soup and rice and participated in a group building to brag, but official duties did not spare anyone. The officials of Liang County were very diligent and unexpectedly caught up with them. The envoy represented the county prime minister and the capital. The captain and even the two lieutenants came directly to bargain... The meaning was obvious. They already knew about Meng's involvement and the problem of team supply, so they were willing to accept most of the conditions. They just asked Zhang Xing not to give up the grain. Shu and Xiayi were given to Meng Shanggong so that they could fight harder.
As for the large amount of high-end property and supplies that the team brought out from Ziwei Palace and Dongdu, although they could not deliver it directly, they were willing to take the initiative to withdraw from the garrison, and made it clear that in three to five days, the team would collapse and depose them. It’s not like the Dragon Gang doesn’t have any soldiers, they will just take them when the time comes.
Frankly speaking, the progress was a bit overwhelming, and the attitude was so frank that Zhang Xing was stunned for a long time.
But in the end he agreed and came to see Prefect Cao in person to congratulate him.
The expression on Cao Taishou's face, who was lying on the couch to recuperate, had just improved a little. Hearing Zhang Xing's narration, he was stunned for a long time, but he suppressed his uneasiness and spoke sincerely: "Zhang Longtou, these bastards are trying to use me to top the tank... you Tell me, if I don’t go back and just follow the Deposed Dragon Gang to make do, what do you think?”
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, thought about the pros and cons, and replied sincerely in front of the warm couch: "I think it's better for Governor Cao to go back honestly... If you are really serious about your career, how can you not contribute to the people of the world?"
ps: Good night everyone.
