"It doesn't matter, we can take down Leling and kill Gao Shishan."
Under the candlelight, Gao Shitong was sitting behind the case as if nothing had happened, but his tone sounded very sincere.
"I assure you that our Hebei rebels will never really join forces with such people. Don't forget that the current situation is that Pingyuan Tong guards Qiantang and shrinks his troops to the county of Ande City, and Ande City has enough food and many soldiers. , we have been fighting for more than a month and have not been able to defeat it, so we basically have no hope. On the contrary, our food and weapons are gradually running out, and if we can capture Leling and take the manor of Gao Shitan, it will be much easier."
After finishing speaking, the commander of the Hebei Rebel Army, who commanded more than 100,000 troops, hid in the dim light and carefully observed the people in the hall. He saw the officers who came from the Pingyuan Army and the new rebel leader no longer He said something and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, at this moment, a leader of the Bohai Navy named Gao could not help but frown: "No matter what, if someone takes the initiative to surrender, but we have to kill him afterwards, will anyone still believe in us in the future? Besides, the Bureau After all, Master Qi is a fellow villager with the same surname as ours in Bohai, and he and the boss are always regarded as brothers."
Gao Shitong had one head and two heads, so he wanted to explain again.
Of course, the leaders of the Pingyuan Army and the New Rebel Army were nearby, so where would it be his turn? Immediately, someone ridiculed: "Is this cannibalistic bastard really a serious Bohai Gao family?"
I don't know how many people were scolded by these words.
"Who are you scolding?" Sure enough, the leader of the Bohai Navy named Gao was immediately furious, but for a while he couldn't find anyone to speak to.
"Whoever eats others will be scolded." But it didn't matter. The leader of the Pingyuan Army spoke coldly and took over.
"Rural Rumors" Someone in the Bohai Navy tried to explain again.
"It's true that cannibalism is a rumor in the countryside, but the rebels are not accepted behind closed doors. Hebei Jiajie is almost dead, but who bakes pancakes ten feet wide?" Another tall leader of the new rebel army stepped forward. He came out and came directly to the naval general named Gao Bo.
This person was obviously quite prestigious. Several leaders of the Bohai Navy were immediately unable to hold on. The leader took half a step back. Wan Cai tried his best to argue: "Is it a sin to make pancakes that are too wide?"
"It depends on when other people are driven into the swamp, catching a fish without taking it to make a fire, and cutting ten fish without taking them and throwing them away. It is a sin for him to do this!" The man's stern voice shook the room. wind.
"If that's the case, is it a sin for us to eat rice in Dengzhou before?" The leader of the Bohai Navy was helpless and asked through gritted teeth.
"Tell this to the Deposed Dragon Gang and see if they think it's a sin!" The general of the Pingyuan Army returned to the province again.
At this time, an opportunity was found. The Bohai Navy and the Pingyuan Army immediately started arguing, while the local newly attached rebels just sneered from the sidelines. A new round of chaos seemed to be about to begin again.
This is Ban County, Pingyuan County, located due east of Ande County, Pingyuan County.
"That's enough, I will make a decision on this matter!" Seeing Sha's shouting start again, Gao Shitong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted loudly and started clapping the case, thus ending the quarrel.
"Everyone go back and wait for military orders!"
The two groups of people looked at each other and glared at each other for a few times. The leaders of the new rebels also glanced at each other, then left in a noisy manner, and as expected they went back.
Gao Shitong was upset and simply kicked the guards out again, leaving him alone in the seat behind the case in the hall, thinking about the current situation.
In other words, as many people laugh at, the bad thing about Gao Shitong is that he is a smart man and has a clear understanding of the situation.
Because he is smart, he knows very well that his prestige as the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army with 100,000 people has been partially destroyed.
The Deposed Dragon Gang's conquest of Dengzhou and subsequent disposal had serious consequences. The Bohai Navy looked down upon him, thinking that he was an incompetent surrenderer who had ruined his comfortable home in Dengzhou and still had to be led by others.
After being slapped with a fifty cents and then accused of taking away all the weapons and supplies, the Pingyuan Army thought he was a traitor and a betrayer.
After arriving in Hebei and occupying half of the plains in the southeast and a little of the Bohai Sea in the southwest, individual rebels who had been hiding in puddles, islands, swamps, and ravines, and who had been completely scattered, came to surrender. Just for the sake of supplies, ordnance and survival, none of the new rebels in Hebei felt that this big leader who had fled to Dengzhou to watch a show was worth emulating.
However, when the three groups of people came together, a certain balance was strangely formed.
The Bohai Navy needs Gao Tutong, its original leader, to continue to maintain its dominant position in the military, and they behave conservatively.
After the Pingyuan Army carried out the killing, the whole car, from Sun Xunzhi to the ordinary soldiers, all had some strange and violent changes, as if they were shrinking, but some aspects seemed too intense, so that He seems much more silent and serious on weekdays.
Those rebels also need time to rest and recuperate, and at the same time they need to rely on this system to communicate with each other in order to find a new lead axle that can be entrusted to them. At the same time, they are also the most aggressive ten thousand when facing the target car.
And behind the three, there is the Dragon Gang who occupies the Eight Divisions of Jishui on the south bank of the river and has completely proven its purchasing power. You must know that the deposed Dragon Gang does not just bring a shadow of injustice to Pingyuan Che.
As for the opponents in Hebei, Hejian Camp is the old friend who needs to worry the most. Bomu, Pingyuan, and Qinghe prefectures are also opponents that need to be faced directly. These three people are either experienced, young and energetic, or they come from humble backgrounds. , cannot be regarded as incompetent.
At the same time, the huge army, chaotic organization, lack of roots, vast plains and dense cities are all enemies that he, the commander of the Hebei Rebel Army, needs to face.
Of course, there is also Gao Shi, who is related to the same county clan.
Gao Shitong knew this person even more clearly. He knew that although the other person was powerful, he was greedy, arrogant, violent, extravagant, and also had unconcealed stupidity and cowardice inside. He really didn't want to cooperate with such a person. Because the consequences of cooperation were already very clear, the Pingyuan Army was afraid that cooperating with Biren would incur the wrath of the Dragon Gang: the local rebels in Hebei were extremely disgusted with this man's previous cooperation with the Hejian Camp and his indifference to the rebels.
But what can he do, Marshal Gao Shitong? ~~
There are rumors everywhere on the south bank of the river that the Dragon Army is going to march north, and it is equipped with an unstoppable supply transport and troop buildup, which makes people feel guilty. He urgently needs new power to strengthen himself, strategic depth to hide, high manpower and material resources, and frequent territorial disputes to prevent him from having a new foothold when this sad balance is broken.
Gao Shitong knew very well that once the balance of the army was broken, whether it was from the inside or the outside, he, a person who was held up falsely, would definitely fall in pain enough.
"The boss!"
Just when Gao Dashuai was panicking about the situation, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hall. "It's me, Zhuge Dewei."
"Fourth child?" Gao Dashuai perked up and put on a smile. "If you have anything to do, just come in."
"Master." Zhuge Dewei immediately turned in from the empty door, but when he saw that there were no guards inside, he did not approach, and only bowed his hands in the hall seven or eight steps away. "I have something I want to tell you."
"Just tell me."
"I have a distant clan brother who is not from our Hejian lineage, but from Xindu. His nickname is Lieyang Palm. His name is Zhuge Yang."
"I know." Gao Shitong nodded immediately. "We mentioned just now that he was recruited to serve as an official in his early years, and then moved to Daxing and came back?"
"Yes, I'm back."
"He also became the subordinate of Xue Changxiong in Hejian Camp?"
"Yes, I did."
"Looking for you?"
"Yes, find me."
"What do I need from you?"
"Tell me that Gao Shiqi has been very close to the Hejian camp recently, so I should be careful."
Gao Shitong took a long breath, looked at the other person's face through the candlelight and asked seriously: "Do you think it is credible?"
"I don't think it's credible." Zhuge Dewei stood in the room and said with a bitter smile. "As far as I know, he caused a lot of trouble as soon as he came back. Not only did he offend the local heroes, but he actually became enemies with Gao Shiyi. How can I believe it? It's probably just that he knew that Gao Shichan and Gao Shiyi were friends. The masters are from the same tribe and the same clan, so they may have thoughts at this time, so they use a message without any evidence or actual content as a test or a counterargument. Even if they are not lying, Gao Shiman may just be using it as a cover-up. To confuse Xue Changxiong. However, I don’t think it matters whether
It’s unbelievable. Since the Taoist brother of my clan has found me and passed on the message, I have to report this to the big boss so that no one can gossip about it. "
"That's it." Gao Dashuai nodded. "Thank you for your time, old four."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhuge Dewei bowed his head to the end again and backed away slowly. "As long as the master knows that I am loyal, I will take my leave now."
Gao Shitong waved his hand, as if ready to end this futile and chaotic conversation.
You must know that not only is the intelligence content brought by the other party out of thin air, which is in vain and increases the complexity of the matter, but more importantly, as a sensible person, Gao Dashuai has been guarding against Zhuge Lianwei, the fourth master, and treats him as The most unreliable link in Wan Weibo's naval base was that day in Dengzhou, the four families first fled without a fight, and then tried to go out on their own to contact the dragon carriage, which was a profound impression on him, a great man. Impression, and now that this person has caused trouble again, who knows what extra variables there will be?
Didn't you see, when we were discussing Gao Shifei's matter, a lot of new rebel leaders came, but Zhuge Dewei, the fourth leader of the Bo Navy, and Xiao Shu, the leader of the Pingyuan Army, were not there at all, as if they were Gao Shifei. Tong knew in his heart that he had to be wary of some people early on.
However, just when Zhuge Dewei was about to retreat to the threshold, Gao Shitong suddenly remembered something, and then his heart moved slightly, and he shouted directly to Wan:
"Fourth child."
Zhuge Dewei immediately stopped and handed over his hand again: "What else does the master have to hope for?"
"There is something you must do." Gao Tutong smiled. "There are a lot of rumors outside now. They say that the Deposed Dragon Gang is going to cross the river and go south. The army has this ambition. I don't know how to deal with it. So I want you to be the envoy and go across the river to find out about the Deposed Dragon Gang." We know this, will they come? Who will come? How many troops will they bring? When will they come? Where will they come from? Do you want us to take care of them? If you ask clearly and come back, I will do whatever it takes."
Zhuge Dewei thought for a while and immediately nodded: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Gao Shitong nodded with satisfaction, and Zhuge Dewei once again handed over and left.
Just when Marshal Gao had an idea and sent Zhuge Dewei, the unstable factor, to the other side of the river, little did he know, or in other words, he had known for a long time that the new rebels in the army had been working hard to connect with each other from the beginning. It's just that there's nothing he can do.
"Gao Shitong is not trustworthy! Bohai people can't trust him either!"
In the dusk, in a camp outside Ban County, around a bonfire, a tall and thin man was the first to express his opinion. The voice sounded exactly like the one who had quarreled with the Bohai Navy before.
"Xiao Sun." The tall, middle-aged man who came out earlier sighed. "I can honestly say that the Bohai Navy is indeed not trustworthy, and the Pingyuan Army is also a little frightened by the Long Gang. The only ones who can trust it are us volunteers who have suffered hardships in Hebei. However, Marshal Gao himself It’s quite fair. If it weren’t for his efforts to balance, Bo Haijun wouldn’t even give us this small amount of supplies.”
"We are being told to die. Didn't Brother Dou realize that? The Bohai Navy themselves were frightened." The young man named Xiao Sun said angrily. "We were asked to take the lead in several sieges. We died in vain. It is not a good intention for us to participate in military discussions."
"But Xiao Sun, if your brothers, family, and neighbors all died at the hands of the army, don't you want to seek revenge from Mo Che?" the man surnamed Dou asked back. "Or do you want to go back to Gaoji Po to eat raw and tender meat?"
As soon as these words came out, the young man surnamed Sun immediately fell silent. Browser*Search*: @精_华_书_馆... The fastest update...
"What did Uncle Hao say?" After a pause, another person spoke.
"It's hard to tell." The middle-aged man named Dou shook his head. "Uncle Hao feels that our power in Gaojimi is too scattered. When we only have white people here, he can only give him one leader. Even if he invites Liu Heicong, a fellow villager, to intervene in the middle, it will not work."
"It's all the weird problems caused by the Dragon Gang." The young man surnamed Sun sneered again. "What big leaders, leaders? Others are following the example of the rebels who are fighting against Wei. It's time to eat in a big pot and eat meat in a big way. It's okay if we don't lose the Bohai people's money all the way. Why is this Uncle Hao like this?"
"The Deposed Dragon Gang's plan is to punish you for being such a gangster." Another man shook his head helplessly. "And they are right. Anyone who becomes big must follow the rules. Uncle Hao is like this."
Generally speaking, tall and handsome people are like this, and the Dragon Gang is also like this. To put it bluntly, we also want to do this when we pack rice into big bags. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" The man surnamed Sun responded perfunctorily. "It all makes sense and is right. But if this is the case, where is our way out?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of discouragement around the campfire.
A moment later, another person punched the ground next to him angrily: "I don't believe it, this place can't accommodate us brothers?"
"Of course it can be accommodated, why can't it be accommodated?" After hearing this, the man surnamed Dou, who was silent for a moment, suddenly threw the wood in his hand into the fire, then stood up and looked around in awe. "Xue Changza and the Youzhou cavalry were sweeping rice together. How many people died. If we can survive, it means that we are heroes! Your Sun Anzu is a hero! You Wang Xiaohu is also a hero! Da Cao, Lao Dong, Xiao Gao, You are all heroes! I, Dou Lide, am also a hero! Since I am a hero, even if the Supreme Being is blind, we can still find a way out on our own!"
There was a lot of anger around the fire for a while, and the soldiers on the outside also pointed their fingers to look, but the atmosphere in the camp unexpectedly calmed down.
After a while, the middle-aged man, who was Dou Lide, changed his tone and sat down and continued: "The most urgent task is to urge Marshal Gao to send troops. No matter where we fight, we should fight outside. Only by fighting out can we get a victory." Settling our own land. If you ask me, if it really doesn’t work, you can just grit your teeth and agree to Uncle Hao and follow him to occupy a land. Otherwise, according to rumors, the Xinlong Gang is crossing the river in large numbers, and we will become other people’s miscellaneous things. Soldiers."
The heroes around him all nodded.
In this way, in the next few days, the Hebei rebels became increasingly restless, and soon, Zhuge Dewei's envoy met Zhang Ding who was busy with many things in Jibei County on the other side of the river. The latter was directly at the ferry on the edge of Jishui Ocean. Summoned him.
And Zhuge Dewei didn't show any signs of it, so he relayed the doubts of Commander-in-Chief Gao Shitong.
After hearing this, Zhang Xing did not make any excuses to cover up the situation, but immediately gave a reply: "We are going to cross the river in large numbers, and Chief Wei and I will personally lead the troops, excluding the Putai Army. Reorganized 240,000 elite troops to go north, and the accompanying leaders accounted for about half of the army leaders. It has not yet been decided when Quan will leave from there, and the terms of purchase have not been decided, but the current trend of discussion is, if Gao Dajia wants to settle down in Hebei Of course, we will wait for the river to freeze over before moving forward, because this will not only save a lot of effort in the rear movement, but also allow us to calmly choose the target to attack, and at the same time, we can retreat in case of defeat."
Zhuge Dewei nodded repeatedly: "In this case, I can rest assured."
Zhang Xing also nodded, and this time the Beiyi Army Dao Envoy seemed to be crossing over as a matter of course.
But immediately, the fourth leader of the Zhongbo Navy of the Hebei Rebel Army continued: "But, sorry for the pigs, after the leader Gao Da crossed the river, he saw that it was unstoppable. Gu Mai was exhausted, and the Yi in the Imperial Palace was divided into three forces. The dissatisfaction with each other made him exhausted mentally and physically. He could not decide on an individual basis when dispatching troops and was always pushed by the three families. At this time, the Hejian camp seemed to have some plans again. "
At this point, Zhuge Dewei once again told the story about Gao Shizan and the nonsense he told about his brothers, as well as the losses in Gao Shitong's army, and even included the thoughts and actions of some major leaders. My son told me everything.
Zhang Xing listened for a long time, until Wan took the initiative to stop. Wan then asked under the river embankment of Dukou Lao: "So, what does it mean to be Zhuge's master?"
"I am dissatisfied with the leader. This matter has nothing to do with our leader. I am just worried about it." Zhuhe Dewei pointed to the sun above his head and said seriously: "This year's early winter is obviously the Indian Spring, and I am afraid that it will be frozen in the twelfth lunar month. At that time, with the Judging from the scattered state of the Hebei rebel army, it is impossible to say that they have been wiped out by the elites of the Langting Hejian Camp. When the Dragon Gang army goes north, they will have to fight again with the elites of the Hejian Camp who are waiting for work. Instead of this, I will It means that it is better to ask Zhang Longtou to sneak north as soon as possible and gather 100,000 Hebei rebels for his own use, and maybe he can catch the troops of the Hejian camp by surprise."
Zhang Xing thought for a while, and did not directly answer whether it was good or bad. Instead, he sighed, walked forward, and touched the other person's shoulder: "Zhuge is in charge, and he has given up his talents."
Zhuge Dewei shook his shoulders and quickly bowed to the end.
