Zhang Xing lived in Jiyin for a long time, so like Baima, he had a house that originally belonged to a local official.
That evening, he and Bai Yousi specially held a small banquet for only ten or twenty people in the small house. They invited Wei Xuanding, Li Shu, Xiong Bonan, Wang Shuyong, and Wang Zhuo to accompany them. They also hosted the Wu brothers and the Xu The leader of the village and Chang Fu, together with Jia Yue, Yan Qing, Wang Xiongdan, and Jia Runshi, are just the personal leaders.
After three rounds of drinking, Wu Changzai felt uneasy and excused himself early. After drinking for two more rounds, the leader of the village, Xu Zhai, and Chang Fu knew that they were indifferent and were just a foil, so they left at the right time. On the other hand, Wu Jingfeng was in high spirits, or maybe he was still holding his breath, so he only invited Bai Yousi and Xiong Bonan to compete after the banquet. As a result, the three streams of light came together, and Wu Erlang simply turned back. For a time, four streams of light, one gold, one purple and two yellow, flew around in the sky at night, like fireworks, attracting countless people to look at them.
"The dragon's head has been condensing elixirs for several months, but it has never been seen so happily rising into the sky." In the dusk, Wei Xuanding looked at the traces of four elixir masters below, and suddenly turned his head and smiled.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shu, Wang Shuyong and others next to him also turned their heads.
"Actually, I can almost leap into the air." Zhang Xing answered honestly. "I can still walk if I'm really in a hurry, but I don't know why. I always feel like I can't walk safely. But crossing the water like flat ground like Sisi requires too much skill, and I really can't do it... If it's Cheng Dan... You are a master, you can decide it out of thin air, I don’t think you will like it.”
"This is actually quite common." Li Shu nodded with emotion. "That day in Daxing City, the Western Capital, that place probably had the most masters of elixir condensation and above in the world. There were many literary cultivators who didn't like leaping, but there were also many people who particularly liked it... even those who had just condensed elixirs. The young man took the wine with him to the mountains and kept jumping around, and finally he fell down and died. The late emperor issued an order not to use his zhenqi to climb high after drinking alcohol... I remember that his surname was Wang, but I forgot which family he was from. "
"So I still have to drink less." Zhang Xing thought for a while and could only comment on the parkour drunk driving in this era.
"Is this wine from Liangjun?" Wei Xuanding reacted and instinctively looked at the wine jar on the table. "It's a local from Liang County, and it's
Is it over in Dongdu?"
"It's all Wang Wulang's business. You have to ask him." Li Shu smiled and twirled his beard.
"It should be from Dongdu." Wang Shuyong quickly explained. "Come from Liang County."
"How much grain was secretly harvested by Liangjun..." Zhang Xing remembered something and couldn't help but ask Li Shu.
Just as the latter was about to answer, Wei Xuanding waved his hand hurriedly: "We will talk about this matter tomorrow. Let's just sit here tonight and talk about things that have passed."
"There's no need to talk about the past." Li Shu's heart moved slightly, and then he twirled his beard and sighed, seeming a little drunk. "Let's just talk about today's events. This afternoon, Zhang Sanlang responded to everything at once. It was so overwhelming that Wu Dalang could only bow his head."
The people around him were silent, only Jia Yue was still drinking.
"It's just a small trick." Zhang Xing's reply was even more candid. "Li Gongxin doesn't believe it either. Among those who responded, if Wu Dalang were to go to them one by one to build friendship, there is no doubt that many people would be persuaded by them to change their ways."
"Then they were kidnapped?" Li Shu was surprised for a moment. "Isn't that what you meant?"
"It's hard to say, but I can't say that's not what they meant." Zhang Xing sighed with emotion. "There are at least a dozen people down there.
If you just point a knife at them, how can you make them change their minds? Gather people together and use a ritual to urge them. The so-called turning people into a crowd, many things will be different... If you don't believe it, ask Wang Wulang They, aren't they right here? "
Wang Shuyong immediately shook his head: "Although I was ordered to receive them, I don't think I have to give them much special treatment. A big leader is enough. I have always been convinced by the third brother's decision."
Yan Qing immediately laughed and said, "How can we have anything to say?"
"In this case, Zhang Sanlang thinks too much, and people's hearts are still convinced by you." Li Shu shook his head and smiled.
"Shu Yong is like this, but others may not be like that." Zhang Xing sighed with emotion. "I've actually encountered a similar situation before.
Once, and it was the saint who did it... That day he escaped from Yunnei, and when his tower collapsed, his prestige was ruined, so he took the opportunity to worship the golden pillar in Dongdu, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to travel from Ziwei Palace. After the ceremony, the third Eastern Expedition was announced in public. Who among the people below would agree to that situation? But even Uncle Cao could not refute it at that time, because if he refuted it, he would be refuting the entire Wei Dynasty and losing his integrity. What happened today is actually similar. "
Li Shu was silent for a long time: "So, is this not a good thing?"
"It's neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It's just like the ebb and flow of the tide. It's like the wind and the clouds. It's natural." Wang Zhuo, the leader who had been silent until now, suddenly blurted out. "If you meet a good helmsman, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you meet a bad one, you will just drink and jump off a cliff based on your cultivation."
"What Chief Wang said is appropriate, no matter how windy or rainy, spring or autumn, nothing can be better than this." Zhang Xing nodded immediately.
"I see, I was overthinking it." Li Shu sighed with emotion.
In this way, several people looked at the stream of light above their heads for a while, chatted for a few words, and saw that there was no intention to stop. Li Shu, who was slightly relaxed in his heart, also left. Only Wei and the two kings were left in the small courtyard. Sitting around with Zhang Xing and several of his confidants.
In the end, Wei Xuanding couldn't hold back: "You really want to let him go? If you don't do it now, there will be endless troubles in the future. While you let Chief Zhou take control of the city defense, please ask Chief Bai to come out with just one blow."
Wang Shuyong became nervous for a moment, but he didn't speak or move. Yan Qing just looked at Wang Zhuo, who was silent again.
"I also feel that keeping this person here will cause endless troubles, because he has more and more selfish thoughts in his mind." Zhang Xing was surprisingly candid. "But who doesn't have selfish thoughts? Besides, now is really not the time to do this, because we have not discussed what to do next. Should we go to fight Hebei or Jianghuai? If we go to fight Jianghuai, we will eat Huaiyou. The League came back to deal with him, but there was no need to use violence; but if they were to attack Hebei and deal with him, it would only cause the situation to collapse, because no matter what, there was still a group of people around him, who were the only ones who could handle the situation; As for him, if he insists on asking me to fight against Dongdu, or asking me to fight against Xuzhou while he takes over Huaixi, that would be a very malicious move, so deal with him first anyway!"
Wang Shuyong breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Xuanding sighed and shook his head: "If you say so, I feel that the wind blowing to Hebei now seems to have a slightly unclear origin... He is not stupid enough to seduce you. Go and fight Dongdu."
"Can you support going to Hebei?" Zhang Xing asked on the spot.
"Of course I support it. I have always dreamed of returning to Hebei. I am from Hebei!" Taoist Wei shook his sleeves and laughed on the spot.
He even drank a full glass of wine. "That day when a pair of bad shoes came to the East, you should have guessed what kind of situation I was in in Hebei. Now I have the opportunity to step over there with tens of thousands of pairs of neat winter boots. I am so fierce that the old people in Hebei dare not correct themselves. Seeing me, this life is worth it! However, do you think that I am not public-minded again? But I also have something to say, going to Hebei is precisely for the plan of deposing the Dragon Gang!"
Zhang Xing came to laugh on the spot, Wei Xuanding also laughed, Wang Wulang also laughed, Wang Zhuo also laughed, and everyone except Jia Yue laughed. Even Jia Yue stopped his wine glass and looked up in thought in the courtyard.
"Master Zhang, you are suffering too much." Taoist Wei suddenly stopped laughing again.
Zhang Xing was baffled, and people around him were also surprised.
"Why am I suffering?" Zhang Xing opened his hands in response.
"Don't you see that everyone in the gang is afraid of you?" Wei Xuanding seemed to be drunk. "There are even some people who are afraid of fear.
Hate it"
Zhang Xing thought for a while, then laughed again: "Are you saying that I have restrained them too strictly? That's why I attract hatred?"
"That's right." Taoist Wei nodded. "Before today, I thought that just to attract hatred, with your ability
I can suppress it, but according to your explanation of what happened today, it has nothing to do with whether things are good or bad, so there will be no unnecessary trouble... What if one day you are not there and someone takes it? If you keep your face down and start to stir things up, there is no doubt that things will be like today. A group of people will sell you out with the help of a leader. "
The faces of Yan Qing and others changed, but only Wang Zhuo and Jia Yue remained silent.
Zhang Xing thought for a while, but had nothing to say: "That's true, but so what? Besides, I don't think it's a hardship."
what is the relationship?"
"The pain lies in 'so why not'?" Wei Xuanding said with a smile. "This time I also worked hard for an autumn day to find out.
What is called suffering... This suffering is not the suffering of doing things, but the suffering of being wronged if you want to do things and succeed. It is obvious that you have no selfish motives, but your subordinates want to dislike you, and your colleagues want to doubt you... A Even if the autumn harvest is like this, what does it matter if you take charge of the overall situation and are in charge of such a big stall?"
Speaking of this, Taoist Wei pointed to the few cases scattered in front of him in the courtyard, half smiling: "Just like this drinking thing, those who know will naturally know that there may be a shortage of food in the next few years, so we should try our best to save food. , that’s why you banned brewing wine after the autumn harvest. You can only buy it from outside, and it can only be bought from Liangjun and Jijun. But how do all the heroes in the world understand this? They all thought you were going to use this exclusive business to bribe them. Where are Wang Wulang and Xu Dalang? Even if they understand, they don't want to believe it. Because of dry mouth, people are scolding them."
Wang Wulang was embarrassed for a moment and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
"The prohibition on alcohol is indeed a troublesome thing, because everyone really has this hobby and pursues it. If you do this, you are prepared to be scolded." Zhang Xingyi said.
"That's it, that's it...it's the same as 'so what's the matter'." Wei Xuanding shook his head even more. "you
Who doesn't mind suppressing the big guys? You know that they dislike you, and you know that they might turn their back on you, but it's just like it's normal... Zhang Longtou, you are so young, but so mature, how can you hold on? Can you live there?"
Zhang Xing was stunned and asked back: "What do you mean? So what if I can't hold on?"
"I'm not worried that you will go crazy one day. What I mean is that you will get bored one day and give up on the world.
Guy?" Wei Xuanding asked with bright eyes, and the others were also stunned.
"People have their own opinions on what they do. If we just want to cut off Baowei, then to be honest, if we abandon it, we will abandon it. We were originally planning to abandon it, because Baowei is seeking his own death, so we can just lie down and wait for him to collapse. But if you do things seriously, it depends on your true intentions." Zhang Xing came to his senses, thought about it seriously, and then answered. "Some people do things to achieve great things, to leave a name and succeed, some do it desperately for revenge, some just do it for the moment of pleasure... There are also people who feel that since they are born to be strong, they have to support the weak, or bully others; or poor I'm used to it, I'm hungry and scared, I want a sense of security in everything, I want power, I want money... So, it's very simple, just ask me what the fundamental purpose of doing things is, and you'll know."
"That"
"What do you think my purpose is?" Zhang Xing asked for the other party first. "Become an emperor? Or become a ruler?
Or do you want to control the situation by nature?"
"Are you thinking of something big?" Wei Xuanding smiled. "With the example of the Supreme, being an emperor and becoming a Supreme, it is estimated that
The plan is all incidental... And it's not like I haven't seen people like you before. If you want to dominate the world, if you want to replace the four emperors with three radiances, if you want to reclaim the sea and pave the land, why don't you force the gang to let it go? Are all the children building the foundation together? They must have great ambitions!"
Jia Yue raised his head and stared at Zhang Xing like everyone else.
"Absolutely." Zhang Xing rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a glass of wine, without saying anything. "A man must be ambitious, of course, and really want to do something extraordinary and achieve fame and fortune in the future."
Wei Xuanding immediately came to laugh.
"And since I want to achieve great things, how can I take the initiative to abandon others? You must know that doing great things must always put people first." Zhang
He drank the wine in one gulp and raised his voice in response. "Some people are too selfish, greedy for happiness, feel miserable, and feel tired, so they abandon me. It's human nature. I don't complain. I don't know why I have to reflect on it. Is it really too harsh? I can't control people's hearts. But if I say It is really unimaginable to abandon people on their own initiative. At most, it is because they are greedy for other things and are unwilling to follow me when I want to turn the corner; more importantly, as long as the person himself is not broken and is still an upright person, we will meet again If you are still willing to catch up, you will be able to catch up again even if you fell behind for a while."
"That's the truth." Wei Xuanding nodded immediately without any extra expression, as if he was just asking a symbolic question.
Wang Shuyong and others were somewhat relieved.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xing also felt a little emotional: "But to be honest, there have been many people who have wanted to do big things since ancient times, but they still couldn't do it. If one day I get discouraged, I don't think I will need others to push me." I’m taking a walk.”
Several people kept shaking their heads, thinking that Mr. Zhang had drunk too much, and tried to comfort or agree with him.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yue suddenly interrupted at this time and spoke before everyone else: "Zhang Sanlang is destined to do great things according to his destiny."
This was said without any beginning or end. Everyone looked at him in surprise, but he lowered his head and said nothing. However, everyone was used to his sudden ups and downs, so they didn't say much.
Perhaps it had been a long time since they had disturbed the people at night. The four Chengdan masters continued to compete until the middle of the night, and the people in the courtyard had already dispersed. Bai Yousi came to ask, and Zhang Xingbian also told him bluntly, it was nothing more than that. Wei Xuanding gradually became more experienced, and this time his brain was so good that he noticed something and did a little test, that's all.
This is indeed the case.
After a night of silence, the next day, Jiyin City continued the meeting, but it only took less than half an hour to officially mark Wang Zhen's leader in public. This was regarded as the last step for someone to fulfill his political promise, and Wang Zhen Meng Zhigui and Fan Chuzi, who were affiliated with Zhenzhen, were also replaced as official leaders.
Then, Zhang Longtou went to inspect winter clothes instead, visited the streets in the afternoon, and even left the city for the ferry in the evening.
In the evening, they had a banquet with Xu Shiying, Niu Da, Wang Zhen, and the actual subordinate leaders of these three people.
On the third day, there was still only a half-day meeting, but this time, Mr. Zhang finally did something drastic. He deposed a big leader in public - Dongjun Liuhou Zu Chenyan. Because he was incompetent in Dongjun and delayed the transfer of winter clothes and supplies, Zhang Xing publicly recommended that he be demoted to an ordinary leader and be dismissed as a post. However, he was retained in Dongjun by the example of a leader who was born in Jiangren and the former Dongjun Commandery Zhou. back.
The reason is that while Zu Chenyan was feasting, reciting poems and composing poems all day long, Zhou Weishi actually assumed a considerable part of the general affairs of Dongjun, so that he could ensure that his work would not be delayed.
Everyone knows that Zhou Weishi is Xu Shiying's personal friend, and he has some colleagues with Zhai Qian and other local leaders in Dongjun. And this matter seemed to have passed with almost no resistance precisely because of this.
Afterwards, there was a lot of discussion in Jiyin City, saying that if Xu Dalang brought Zhai Qian's gang over again and formed a small gang in Dongjun, their power would probably overwhelm Li Longtou. If Chief Wei again Being helped up, Li Longtou was completely unaware of it, and he might have no choice but to surrender.
As for Zhang Xing, it was inevitable that someone would come to invite him that day. In the afternoon, the small group of Zhai Qian, Zhai Kuan, and Huang Junhan were the hosts, and in the evening, Cheng Zhili came to invite him for a drink in private, and he went happily.
In addition, since Zhang Dalongtou took the initiative to accept the banquet, it was equivalent to taking the initiative to let go of the restrictions, and even took the initiative to set an example. If this continues for four days, because everything is settled, all the talents have arrived, and there is no place here. Without the drinks from Liangjun, the atmosphere in the city inevitably became more intense.
It’s just like the Chinese New Year.
For a time, not only Zhang Xing was invited, but Li Shu was also inviting people to be guests. Local leaders such as Xu Shiying, Niu Da, Shan Tonghai, Shang Huaien, and Zhai Qian were also invited. Wang Zhen won the big leader and got his wish. They are also inviting guests. Seeing that the deposed dragon gang is strong and now stable, and the leader who is also half native, Meng Zhigui is still inviting guests. Even Chang Ling, the new half-land native, is treating guests generously.
Invite your boss, your colleagues, your subordinates, your friends, and your fellow countrymen.
In this case, it is conceivable that the leaders have already fully communicated their opinions in private.
Time has come to the fifth day, which is the first day after winter. The Deposed Dragon Gang started the last and most important agenda, which was a discussion on where to fight next... Maybe it was because Zhang Xing showed an open-minded attitude of asking for advice in public, and the discussion was very lively. They went to Xuzhou, Jianghuai, When I went to Hebei and attacked Dongdu, some people said that the whole Jiyin was clamoring.
That's right, Wu Jingfeng even supported the attack on Dongdu!
It can only be said that although everyone understands that it is likely that the big bosses will make the final decision, there is no delay in everyone expressing their opinions and exerting influence on the big bosses.
For example, among Xu Shiying's trusted leaders, Guo Jingke is from Hebei, and the Lu brothers are also from Hebei, and they are big
As those three people doing business on the river showed their attitudes, Xu Shiying had to be strongly inclined to go to Hebei. Is this reasonable?
Generally speaking, the majority of opinions were about going to Hebei or Huaixi, and a confrontation gradually formed. Wu Jingfeng and others also began to actively adjust their opinions.
The time came in the afternoon, and just when everyone was fully discussing and determined to let the big bosses raise their hands across the door to make a decision, an extremely unexpected news came.
"who?"
Zhang Xing, who was sitting at the front, almost laughed out loud. "Who's coming?"
"Du Pozhen and Fu Boshi...the two big leaders came directly. They were just outside the city and said they wanted to participate in the resolution!" Zhou Xingfan, who took over the city defense, held his hands in front of him with a strange expression. He supported the attack on Xuzhou. He is a die-hard man and should support the siege of Xuzhou from Huaixi, so logically speaking, he should be happy when these two people come here at this time.
However, maybe because he had been following Zhang Xing for a long time and unconsciously looked at the problem from the big leader's perspective, even Xiao Zhou noticed the element of a sudden attack on someone during this visit, and then became slightly vigilant.
Zhang Xing thought for a while, then actually laughed in front of everyone and clapped his hands: "What a coincidence! I haven't seen this guy for a few months, but he still has some quick wits and knows where the pass is!"
Li Shu felt guilty for a moment, but after glancing at the crowd of heads in front of him, he still raised his head.
Zhang Xing also became solemn and said: "Call the two leaders to come in! Watch and take a seat!"
The winter wind outside the hall was blowing, but many people in the hall were excited. Almost everyone was excited. Compared with the few core leaders who were thoughtful, the vast majority of people still felt that after hearing the news, Huaixi These two people came in person just after the incident, and claimed to be the big boss. Their surrender gesture was too obvious.
The Deposed Dragon Gang is indeed very proud of itself and has a lot to do!
