Zhang Xing returned to Sikou Pass, and when the ferry that picked him up sailed on the sparkling river under the winter moonlight, he had already realized something.
That was everything he Zhang Tou and Xiong Bonan encountered and knew during their trip. It was not an accident at all.
To put it bluntly, it was precisely because of the Northward Movement of the Heart that the Deposed Dragon Gang began to make preparations. The movement on the Henan side could not be covered up, which triggered everything - Gao Shitong was afraid that the Deposed Dragon Gang would advance northward, so he went further north to seek help. In order to establish a new foundation and establish a new foundation, Qian Tang was also afraid of the invasion of the Deposed Dragon Gang, so he must vigorously promote the military progress of the official army.
It was inevitable that this battle in Hebei would take place before the Great River Ice Age, when the Deposed Dragon Gang could calmly advance northward.
Zhang Xing even had reason to suspect that Zhuge Dewei's arrival was a deliberate act by some smart, self-righteous person, thinking that this would give the Dragon Gang some kind of hidden power. Or maybe you have vaguely realized that the Hebei Rebel Army is no match for the Hejian Camp, but you are lucky, and are being held back without looking back, so you are seeking help in this way.
However, there is no need to take the last one seriously, because the human heart cannot take it seriously.
What we have to do now is to complete the preparations for dispatching troops at all costs. The various forces in Hejian cannot catch up and punch them in, smashing the troops that have been dispatched along the Hejian camp to pieces.
After crossing the river and returning to Sikou Pass, Zhang Xing summoned the leaders here overnight, namely Wei Xuanding, Chai Xiaohe, Bing Yuanzheng, Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Shang Huaizhi, Wang Xiongdan, Jia Runfu, Leaders Yan Qing, Lu Hongyue, and Liu Zhouchen first reported the relevant military information, and then announced their decisions in public.
"We have to go to war. The officers and soldiers will enter the gap between Pingyuan and Ande within three to five days, or they can simply fight on the south side of Pingyuan City. That is where the officers and soldiers of the Hejian camp are farthest apart and the troops are weak. At the right time, which is also the most suitable time to attack, we pounced directly from behind. They didn’t react at all.” At this point, President Zhang took a breath and sighed. "Do you know what is the most rare thing? These soldiers and horses are just the troops of the Hejian Camp. Injuring ten of its fingers is worse than cutting off one! If the Hejian Camp is hurt here, things will be easier to deal with later!"
"Are there any few soldiers? Wei Xuanding, who was buzzing in his mind, forced his thoughts to ask seriously. "The Hejian camp should be full of 60,000 to 70,000 elite soldiers. It has taken a lot of money in the past two years, but if they all come out in full force.
"Impossible!" Zhang Xing waved his hand. "How can any warlord who thinks that the land is the king not leave his hometown to look after his hometown? And there is no point in saying this. We are going to send scouts, a large number of scouts, scouts from Hebei. We don't need to worry about anything else. We just need to determine the strength of the troops on this road. We will hold off for the time being if it exceeds 10,000 yuan, and attack if it falls below 20,000 yuan!
"When will we send troops? How many troops can we send in a hurry?" At this time, only Wei Xuanding could continue to ask questions.
"Let's look at the reconnaissance. In any case, we will start building pontoon bridges tomorrow. The more the better, the soonest possible is to send troops early the next day and then pounce directly on them." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Move as many troops as you can!"
"That's a little more than 10,000 horses kept in the last three places of Jibei, Pingyin and Luxian?" Wei Xuanding's face turned pale.
"No." Zhang Xing shook his head and responded slowly. "Here at Sikou Pass, we have already stocked up a considerable amount of supplies for sending troops in winter. Therefore, the troops within fifty miles, that is, a little more than 10,000 troops and horses, will come here calmly with more weapons than they will tomorrow; The horses from eight miles away can arrive in one day without heavy weapons or weapons. If they are changed here, they can encircle the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city and Liangshan Dazhai; at the same time, let Qijun downstream Zheng De and Fan Bao crossed the river from the front as quickly as possible, gathered with Pu's troops in Douzigang, and attacked in the plain. There were more than 8,000 people. In other words, as long as we do it quickly, we can do it well. , 30,000 soldiers will pass by, and they will attack from both sides! Does anyone else have anything to ask?"
Wei Xuanding remained silent, and the leaders around him also shut up)
"Then I will give the order now. Yan Qing, please make a record. Everyone will listen to it together and make supplements before leaving."
In such a hurry that only one lamp was lit in the room, Zhang Xing's face looked dark (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 114: Epidemic (17)

He was swarthy, but his eyes were shining. There were many people standing at attention beside him. Only Yan Qing hurriedly turned over the paper and pen, and then lay down under the oil lamp to prepare for recording.
"First, send out scouts immediately and send them in large numbers to ensure the core intelligence of this force that is detouring from the west of Pingyuan County. Wang Xiongdan, do it. Try to choose people from Hebei!"
"Here!" Wang Xiongdan immediately responded with his hands raised.
"Second, go now, with Sikou Pass as the core, along the official roads and canals, and set up supply points on three sides. One should be one within five miles. It must be able to cook, provide drinking water, provide fodder for livestock, and be able to respond Tired stragglers still need to be able to make simple vehicles
The repairs can be spread as far as they can be spread, and how many can be built. Bing Liuhou did it himself, mobilizing county soldiers overnight, and all the cities, towns and villages along the way needed to cooperate! "
"Yes!" Bing Yuanzheng bowed his head and said yes.
"Third, prepare the pontoon bridge materials and ships immediately. We will build the pontoon bridge at dawn tomorrow. We will keep building it. Just for crossing the river this time, we will keep building it even after we have passed. There is no limit to how much we can build, because we need to Consider that we will need more pontoon bridges when the war is defeated! General Xiaolu, you are responsible for the affairs on the river, and you must call General Dalu who is there immediately to do it!"
"I understand!" Hongyue also said yes, but couldn't help but swallowed.
“Fourth, as mentioned just now, order all localities to issue military orders overnight to all surrounding towns and military strongholds within eighty miles, requiring all military troops to immediately gather at the four passes. Those nearby, and those less than fifty miles away, Arrive with ordnance and supplies before tomorrow, and the troops between fifty and eighty miles away, including most of Jibei County and Liangshan Dazhai, can throw away their excess weight and come lightly. They are still required to arrive before tomorrow night! Jia Yue and Zhou Xingfan , Shang Huaizhi, the three of you will be responsible for this matter!"
Jia Yue and Shang Huaizhi agreed together. Since the announcement of the march to Hebei, Xiao Zhou, who had been a little depressed, also cheered up. In any case, he was going to fight the imperial army.
"Fifth, Wei Gong will take a trip by himself, overnight, to Xia Qi County, which is directly opposite Pingyuan County and close to the scheduled battlefield. You can cross one day later, but you must complete it in Hebei before noon on the day after tomorrow. Assemble, use the camera to decide whether and when to join the war. You must try to contact us directly in Hebei. If Cheng Lang is half-hearted, you can directly command Fan Bao and Cheng Ming. These two people will not play tricks!
"Okay." Wei Xuanding's breathing became heavier.
"Sixth." Zhang Xing said while looking at Chai Xiaohe, the only big leader present. "After the people from Liangshan Dazhai arrive, they need to replenish their ordnance. The battle across the river also requires three to five supplies. The construction of the pontoon requires the dispatch of some craftsmen and ships, and the messenger exchanges need to be summarized. Chief Chai, you are still the general manager, and you are in charge here. , everything is done in all directions, logistics and civil affairs report to Chief Chai, and military affairs and military information are with me."
"Put the faucet down." He took a step forward and stood beside the light with a stern expression.
"Is there anything else you want to add?" Zhang Xing finished speaking in one breath, feeling a little out of breath.
"Of the leaders stationed everywhere, which one stays behind and which one follows the army?" Yan Qing, who had just finished writing, suddenly looked up. As a result, a piece of his hair was burned by the oil lamp, which gave off a burnt smell, but he only held it down with one hand, and neither did anyone else. Pay attention.
"It's all up! Everyone who can come will come! Let's talk about it when we get there!" Zhang Xing answered without hesitation. "Not only that, we also need to send an urgent message to the leaders who are not within ten miles. We will set up a new post and relay. All the big leaders and leaders, except those from Qijun, who can arrive before the morning of the day after tomorrow, are required. Come on! Since you want to fight, you must use all your strength to punch this punch!"
Yan responded immediately and continued writing.
Immediately, everyone added some details one after another and wanted to disperse)
But when the show was over, Zhou remembered something and asked in surprise: "Third brother, where is King Xiongtian? What is he responsible for?"
"King Xiongtian has gone to declare a challenge!" Zhang Xing's head was empty for a while, and he finally answered with a smile. "I'll come back naturally after I'm done!"
Everyone understood the reason, but didn't feel comfortable asking more questions, so they dispersed.
As soon as the person left and the oil lamp was alone, Zhang Xing suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable fatigue everywhere in his body (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 114: Epidemic (17)
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content acquisition and text disorder, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
However, he ignored it and found two chairs in the room that was originally the ferry accounting office and sat down haphazardly.
Then fell asleep soundly.
Just when Zhang Xing was sleeping, Xiong Bonan had already arrived at a manor at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the plain. No matter how well-equipped the garden was, it couldn't compare to the formal city wall. King Xiong Tian was so accomplished that he easily jumped into it.
Then, a groom was moved.
There is no way, King Xiongtian is not from a criminal background, and has not received special infiltration training. More importantly, he is used to being high and low, and he really doesn't know how to do this kind of assassination. Therefore, even if he is very careful, but It was still an extremely embarrassing situation. In fact, it was not until he fell into the horse that Xiong Bo Nanfang remembered that the groom had to feed and take care of the horses at night. It was unusual for him to hold a lamp here, and the groom was guarding the stables. It's even more common to have light drowsiness, but it's too late.
And now, he also knows how to deal with this groom.
"Go away, you man, I won't talk nonsense." At this moment, the groom who was awakened in the stable waved his hands repeatedly, and in turn waved his shirtless hands in the wheat straw to assure him. "The watchman hasn't come here yet. A good guy steals things to find someone. As long as he doesn't leave here again, he won't cause trouble for himself."
Xiongtian was a little relieved, but he couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and ask: "Do you know where the owner of the village lives? It's a scull in the middle.
Underneath? "
There was obvious hesitation on the groom's skinny face, and then he nodded slightly.
Xiong Bonan breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, he would just avoid the patrol and take the dark road. If he was more careful, he could touch the tower and stop talking.
As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to leave the stable again, but stopped again and asked out of curiosity: "The haystack is warm, but why are you doing it with your shirt off? Aren't you afraid of hurting someone?"
"If you are a good man, you only need one piece of clothing. You must wear it during the day." The man was still cautious in the haystack.
Bonan laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed, and nodded, preparing to leave, but then he asked for the third time in a much weirder tone: "What are you wearing around your neck?"
The groom who was lying there was startled when he heard the words, and then remained silent for a long time. Fang carefully touched the dark neck, and held an "ornament" in the shadow of the stable pillar, and then spoke carefully, but trembling slightly: "If you're a good man, it's a finger. My mother-in-law."
Xiong Bonan hesitated.
His cultivation was here, and when he noticed it for a moment, he realized it was a finger. At this time, after answering, Fang thought of many possibilities, especially in the past two years, which have been chaotic and chaotic, with many people dead, and everything about life, separation, and death. Hard to say.
For example, the family was ruined while fleeing from the wilderness, and there were rebels behind him. There was no time for burial, so a hand was cut off as a memorial; for example, on the occasion of separation, the princess and the prince-in-law reunited after biting their fingers and swearing an oath, or the poor family reunited after their severed fingers were broken.
Asking too many questions will only make people sad.
"How come?" King Xiongtian couldn't hold back after all.
"My mother-in-law is serving in the inner courtyard. She was a thief and was beaten to death. Please use her finger as a warning. Don't take it off.)" The groom said cautiously but as if he couldn't wait.
"What are you stealing? Xiong Bonan instinctively became irritated. He knew that many wealthy families and even small families were very cruel to their private servants. It was not uncommon to beat or maim people to death, but he still felt disgusted because there was no need for his husband to wear a finger as a warning. , so he immediately thought that the other party's wife might have stolen something valuable, which aroused the anger of the relevant people.
"Stealing something to eat" the groom couldn't help but come out with his fingers clenched. "It's just the leftovers from the guests. The rules cannot take them out of the inner courtyard. She hid a piece of cake for me. According to the rules, she would be beaten to death. She even put a finger on me and said that someone in my house was stealing and I was not allowed to live in the house. Good man, this world is not right, these rules are not right, it shouldn’t be like this.”
Xiong Bonan only felt his head twitch. In an instant, this incident actually corroborated with the rumors about Gao Shizhan's man. He only had the feeling that it was strange, so it was like this. It was unbelievable that there were rumors in the world that Gao Shizhan was a cannibal. The scourge!
This is the same as cannibalism (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 114: Epidemic (17)
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content acquisition and text disorder, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
What's the difference? Even if he actually eats people one day in the future, it doesn’t seem strange.
Xiong Bonan sighed, turned around this time, and asked the last question: "Has Gao Shizhan always been so cruel? In what age did he become like this?"
"The new rules were set last year." The groom bowed his head in response. Xiong Bonan was completely stunned.
For just a moment, he actually instinctively thought of Zhang Jinsheng who had just risen up and started killing people randomly. He thought of the panicked pedestrians he met on the road yesterday who shouted that the Hejian Army was coming. He thought of the empty plains of Pingyuan County and Zhang Jinsheng. When I told those people about the very disgusting rules in the East, the Hebei people's reactions reminded me of many things.
The groom's answer also tested some of his thoughts and gave him a little fear)
That is to say, Gao Shizhan is definitely not a demon king and monster, and he and the people of the Deposed Dragon Gang are not born heroes. If Shi Zan went to the Eastern Territory two years ago, if he or someone else had left this ghost place, there would be no rules or restrictions, no slogans, and no well-organized deposed dragon gang to take care of everyone. He and the deposed dragon gang would Those brothers are actually very likely to fall into this kind of people.
Of course, it's no use thinking about it now.
Without saying anything more or leaving any words, King Xiongtian walked out of the stable and hid himself in the darkness of the howling north wind.
This time, he was very careful. He didn't step on the roof or jump around casually. Instead, he carefully avoided the patrols. Every time he made any noise, he always took advantage of the wind to do it. In this way, Xiongnan quickly touched the oar firmly, and then he did not jump up, but climbed up obediently, and caught two people alive on it, just two Zhengmai Cultivator, kill one of them who wants to die, and the other one will ask seriously. After asking about the layout of the hospital and seeing it for myself, I only broke the limbs of the last person, silenced him, and finally went down carefully.
The inner courtyard was brightly lit, but most of the servants had gone to sleep. Although there were a few more people patrolling, the interesting thing was that they were limited to a few places on the outer floor, and there were not many people near the bedroom where the head pointed earlier.
Bonan saw the opportunity, quickly turned over, entered the innermost layer, and then found the bedroom.
The bedroom is magnificent, with a bed as big as a separate small bedroom. There is a man in the middle, accompanied by three concubines. Outside, there are four or five maids squatting at the door, guarding the incense burner and teapot, not daring to close their eyes for a moment. King Xiongtian had no choice but to wait outside for a while. A maid came out and followed him directly to the toilet. After asking him, he confirmed that it was Gao Shizhan, slapped him, and then came back straight away.
Once, he no longer cared about unnecessary things, but used his true energy, rushed directly to the bed, grabbed the only man on the bed, and broke an arm on the spot.
The screams broke through the winter night.
Either the concubine on the bed escaped or the maid outside was frightened and fled, or the entire manor seemed to come to life.
But Xiong Bonan didn't panic at all, he just dragged the person under the bed and calmly turned on the lights outside. A closer look revealed that it was Shi Zan who he met four or five years ago, but he continued to break up while the other person was still dazed. Broken second arm.
Gao Shizhan's eyes were filled with painful tears and snot, and he was just kicking the ground and struggling and crying: "Hero, spare your life, I will give you whatever you want!"
"Is it Gao Shizhan?" Xiong Bonan asked, and broke off one of the opponent's ankles.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gao Shizhan agreed while trying his best to land on the last foot.
Xiong Bonan was not used to the other party, so he broke off the other party's last leg with his bare hands, and then asked: "I remember that you were already a master of the three meridians four or five years ago. How come you haven't condensed them now?" Dan?”
"The two meridians are blocked." Gao Shizhan replied, and at the same time he came to his senses, but he endured the pain and forced himself to take a look. "Is the hero a friend from the Hebei road? Was it Zhuge Yang who invited him here? How much money did he spend? I'm 10 times as good as the hero!"
"God has eyes." Xiong Nan sighed and ignored the other party at all. "Let you fall into my hands, Xiong Bonan."
When Gao Shizhan heard this, his face turned pale, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Xiongtian! I know what you are doing. (This chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 114: Facing the epidemic (17)
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content acquisition and text disorder, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
Why have I always been loyal to the rebels? It’s just that Gao Shitong is too useless and not worth it. If the Deposed Dragon Gang comes, I am willing to join the whole family! do you know? Leling hid five thousand soldiers."
"I'm afraid you'll vote for us!" Xiong Bo Nandu sighed, dragging the opponent's heels and heading outside, like dragging a cloth bag.
But this person cried and begged for mercy along the way, threatening and tempting him, but King Xiongtian just ignored him.
When we came to the courtyard outside, we were already surrounded by countless servants and twenty or thirty powerful guards.
A guard who didn't open his eyes listened to the cry and promise of the master on the ground, and tried his best to summon his energy to rush towards him, but saw a purple light burst out from the opponent's body, and the spear pressed against the body's energy as if it were a piece of iron. Later, the person who had thrown the spear was thrown onto the roof.
It’s not like there are people in the courtyard who know what they are doing. Words about the Purple Faced King and the deposed leader of the Dragon Gang spread immediately. The King’s reputation in Hebei in the past has now taken effect. The surrounding lights are bright, and there are constant shouts from outside, but no one dares to come forward. .
In addition, several servant men who got up hastily arrived soon. They seemed to be members of Gao Shizhan's clan. They were all trying to maintain order, but they were not allowed to come forward to help. The scene actually froze.
Xiong Bonan knew most of the thoughts of the people here, but was too lazy to speak. In front of someone, he first grabbed one of Gao Shizhan's hands, like grabbing a carrot, broke off all five of Gao Shizhan's fingers, then took out his waist knife and chopped off each one. By this time, Gao Shizhan was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak properly. People outside were also dumbfounded, but without delay, Xiong Bo Nanfu changed his hand and did it again, and then he did it again with both feet. )
All ten fingers and ten toes were removed and scattered in front of him like candy canes. At this time, Gao Shizhan was already roaring in pain, like a wild beast.
King Xiongtian just felt bored. After thinking for a while, he stepped on the opponent's chest and broke off an unknown number of sternums. Then he used his Qi with both hands, pulled one leg with one hand, inserted the sternum with the other, and lifted the person up. Lifting it up, just one move, one pinch, and then a tug, it tore the well-known powerful men from several counties to pieces. The body was broken into two pieces, the internal organs were spilled on the ground, and there was a rain of blood in front of him. .
Strange to say, there was still a commotion outside, but here in the inner courtyard, as Xiong Bonan stretched out his hand and tore it apart, as if pressing some silence button, the whole world became quiet, except for the constant sound of the wind.
But Xiong Bonan killed someone, and when he threw the body down, his body-protecting energy was released, and the dirt on his head and in front of his body rolled away, and he wanted to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he remembered Zhang Xing's instructions, so he took out the note from his arms, reached out and picked up a torch and looked at it, but he shook his head and sighed in public, then turned back and picked up Gao Shizhan's hand from the ground. After taking off his clothes and dipping them in meat sauce, he walked towards the wall of the inner courtyard in front.
Countless men and women in front of them just covered their mouths and ran away to make way for a clearing, not even daring to make a sound.
The purple-faced king came and picked up tattered clothes on the wall
He wrote on the note in his hand and said, Although the King of Heaven can read,
I was not good at it. I went back and forth seven or eight times and read it five or six times before I wrote down the words and signature that many people were anxiously waiting for.
It turned out that it was just a short poem: red wine and meat smell, and there are frozen bones on the road.
The signature is: The whole gang of the Dragon Clan is here to see you.
After finishing writing, Xiong Bonan jumped up, and a purple light flew out. The people below looked at the night sky for a long time, then looked at a few lines of words, and then looked at the meat sauce on the ground. It took a long time for the sound to come out, but there were already countless Gao family members. The clan members fought for it, took over the inner courtyard, strengthened the defense, and sent people to report to the two county princes, the Zhonglang generals in Leling, and the Hejian camp behind them.
Not to mention other places, just say that on the afternoon of the same day, the news reached Ande, Pingyuan County. County Lord Qian Tang was appeasing the officials from Changhe. When he was worried, he suddenly heard the news. After hearing the details, he was even more shocked.
For a moment, he thought about many possibilities, and even felt a strong sense of panic that he would attack Zhangjiang tonight.
Of course, Qian Tang was very sure that this possibility did not exist, because it was already in the afternoon. Not to mention that there was no warning before arriving at Douzigang at this time, or that the deposed dragon army had already changed the day.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 114: Facing the epidemic (17)
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content acquisition and text disorder, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
Hidden among Gao Shitong's subordinates, it was impossible for the army that had approached Leling to set up camp to turn around and reach Ande.
After a long while, Qian just forcibly evicted everyone and sat there thinking about various possibilities.
But unfortunately, under the condition that he only knew that Xiong Bonan personally killed Gao Shizhan and signed a rumor that was obviously Zhang Xing's style, County Sheriff Qian found that he was unable to do any effective information expansion.
Even when he tried to write a few letters, asking all parties to be cautious and pay attention to possible attacks by the Dragon Army, he immediately rejected it, because this seemed to be the real purpose of Zhang Xing's move, or maybe it was possible. The biggest purpose of sex.
Yes, reason told Qian Tang that the real purpose of Zhang Sanlang's move was probably that after coming to conduct reconnaissance the day before yesterday, he arrived at Gao Shijun's army last night. After realizing the possible danger, he used this method to frighten all forces. This aroused suspicion among the government and the army, and bought time for Zhang Xing to seize the military power of Gao Shitong and then lead the rebels to retreat to a safe area.
Of course, this is also a speculation without evidence, but if that is the case, my reminder will appear to be playing into Zhang Sanlang's hands.
Anxiety and restlessness haunted Qian Tang, and he realized that most of
Danger, but I don’t know where the danger is and how to deal with it. Under tremendous pressure, he almost threw himself into a panic.
He invited Feng Wuyi, the saint's confidant in the city.
At this time, he needs someone more reliable to analyze for him.
However, Feng Yi arrived at the county government and after asking for a while, he turned his attention to another place: "Why do you write this sentence about killing people? Although the road was bleak when I came here, I didn't see any bones frozen to death?"
Qian Tang was stunned for a moment, and only recounted what he saw and heard, as well as what Zhang Shiyu, the previous governor of Bohai, said one by one. He also said bluntly that there were no dead bodies on both sides of the official road because he had specially collected them.
Feng Wuyi was stunned for a while, and then asked seriously: "Has Hebei reached this point?"
Qian Tang nodded again and again, and recounted one by one the incidents that had occurred in the past two years in the north, including the three expeditions against Dongyi, the rebel army, and the raids by the government and the army.
After listening to this, Feng Wuyi was speechless for a long time, and then shook his head after a long time: "I have been in front of the imperial court for a long time, and the governor-general died without any illness. When I came back this time, my friends gave me gifts along the way. It's not that I didn't know that there was chaos down there.
But I never imagined that the chaos below would be like this. The rebels were killing indiscriminately.
The people, the officers and soldiers also massacred the villages, the powerful people only thought that they were local emperors, and the counties and counties could not give orders to leave the city, but there was even more chaos than before when the Eastern Qi Dynasty fell! Dao Dawei has reached this point? "
"Dong Qi is falling apart, it is falling apart." Qian Tang sighed helplessly, and even consciously used some inappropriate sources. "Please, Mr. Feng, please don't be emotional for the time being and just teach me what to do now."
"That's it. Sheriff Qian will just do his duty and let nature take its course." Feng Yi replied with a frown. "Because you can't trust anyone, and people may not listen to your suggestions. No matter where you guess, you may be wrong. Instead of doing this, it's best to stay on your own, act according to your circumstances, and be clear in your heart."
After Qian Tang listened, it was his turn to be speechless for a long time, but he could not argue.
However, what Qian Tang didn't know was that Zhang Xing didn't care at all whether he could do anything, because it was too late. Even if Qian Tang accurately predicted every step, he would not have time to react correctly.
After another night, the next morning, when the sky was bright and under the early morning mist, a red-bottomed "deposed" flag had been erected at Sikou Pass, and Zhang Sanlang, who was neatly draped, also began to personally supervise the generals under the banner. .
The person who called out his name was his confidant Yan Qing.
"Shan Hai."
"exist."
"Fu Bo Shi."
"exist."
"Xu Shiying."
"exist."
"Wang Shuyong)"
"exist"
"Niuda."
"exist."
"There were supposed to be eleven leaders (this chapter is not finished yet!)

, actually reaching the thirty position. "As soon as the roll call ended, before the list was placed in front of him, Zhang Xing, who was listening carefully, responded. "The incident happened suddenly. I am very satisfied if you all can follow the military order and cooperate as much as possible. I should have arrived at the 23,000-person battle." The soldiers actually only had time to reach 19,000 people. On the contrary, the local troops arrived at four or five. I was speechless. It was expected. "
The atmosphere below was a little relieved. To put it bluntly, the incident happened suddenly and it was necessary to cross the river in a hurry. In addition, there have been many unclear rumors recently. Everyone was worried that Zhang Dalongtou, who was about to move north, would take the opportunity to kill Li, so don't say anything. The leaders of the troops within a ten-mile radius arrived, and even the leaders of surrounding counties also arrived on flying horses.
Even Wu Jingfeng and Xu Ren from Lu County in Jiyin arrived, and Xu Shiying also came directly on horseback.
"Then let's not delay." Zhang Xing continued. "Reports from the other side confirmed that there were only 10,000 soldiers heading west, and as I guessed, there were looting and harassment along the way, and the march was slow. Let's cross the river, march in one day, and rest overnight, so we can get ahead of him. Then I stopped them in the middle of Pingcheng and Ande City and faced them head-on. This was a God-given opportunity! The last question is, does anyone have any words?"
Shan Tonghai immediately called out: "Zhang Longtou, we have been building a pontoon bridge for a whole day. Didn't the officers and soldiers on the other side notice it? Can the sentry sent to stop it?"
"I'm aware of it, but I can stop it." Zhang Xing replied seriously) "And it doesn't matter even if he didn't stop him, because according to the reports of Wang Xiongdan and Guo Jingke, who crossed the river respectively the day before yesterday and yesterday, they captured the officer. The soldiers all go to Wuyang County to govern Guixiang."
Shan Tonghai was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why the Deposed Dragon Gang wanted to go to the plains to fight, while the government and army spies went to Wuyang County further west for exchange.
Not to mention him, the other leaders in the crowded Sikouguan Ferry Open Air were basically in a daze for a long time, and then they woke up after being reminded by some former officials.
It turned out that Kouguan and the other side were actually the territory of Wuyang County. They almost forgot about it.
"If the news really comes out, I plan to pass through Chiping from Qinghe County after crossing the river, but we will still try to delay it as much as possible." Zhang Xingyi said. "But it doesn't matter. The Hejian camp is not affiliated with the local area, and we are rushing to attack in a hurry. We will not give them time at all. I have calculated that Qinghe has revealed his intention and the message has been passed properly. We can wait for Qinghe The governor of the county, Cao Shancheng, came to his senses and went to see the leader of the Hejian army in person. He also gave them a night at most. In a six-point battle, if the army could gather the troops in the middle of the night or go into the city to escape, That is really because our skills are inferior to others, so we just turn around and go behind Gao Shitong and occupy those counties for defense."
Shan Tonghai thought for a while and bowed his head.
In fact, Shan Tonghai was convinced after hearing that the troops from the other side were going to Wuyang County to rendezvous, but he was just embarrassed to withdraw.
"There's something." At this moment, Shiying turned serious and asked. "Longtou, do all the thirty-seven leaders here want to cross the river? Who will cross the river? Who will not? Please make it clear, Longtou."
The others also pricked up their ears.
"Let me make it clear first that today's battle was started in a hurry, and the troops and horses were not even ready. Those who cross the river today may not be those who stay in Hebei in the future, and those who go today may have to go in the future." Zhang Xing naturally knew that some people were there. Whatever you care about, leave room for it first. "As for today, only those who came with the troops can follow me across the river. The rest will be discussed later. Yan Qing, read it again!"
Yan Qing immediately held the roster and raised his voice to announce: "According to the military order of Longtou, I will repeat the list of leaders crossing the river. Those who hear their names will cross the river with Longtou. The rest will only follow the leader Chai here to assist with logistics, and wait for Li Let's discuss it later. Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, Fu Boshi, Da, Zhai Qian, Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Shang Huaizhi, Jia Runfu, Yan Qing, Xu Kaitong, Xia Ningyuan, Zheng Ting. Others have already crossed the river as sentinels. King Xiongtian, Wang Xiongdan, Guo Jing, Lu Yue and Lu Mingyue were in charge of the garrison and were responsible for the retreat, a total of eighteen leaders, Chief Wei, Zheng Liuhou, Fan Bao, and Cheng Zhili who were already in Douzi directly crossed the river from the bottom. , Cheng Ming, Fang Yan, fourteen in total."
At this point, the words were passed by the slightly rolled up list in the morning breeze, and a little (this chapter is not finished yet!)

, raised his head and glanced: "Actually, most of them are still the leaders who were originally going north, otherwise they wouldn't be leading the troops nearby. Let's not talk about this for now, among the eighteen here, are there any who don't want to go?"
Naturally there is no sound.
But soon, when Zhang was about to settle the case, someone came out and bowed his head: "Mr. Zhang, I have received a great favor from the Dragon Gang, but I have never repaid you. Since today is just a battle, I am willing to join the army. Zhang Gonghe Sword, serve as a guard for Duke Zhang."
Zhang Xing looked up and saw that it was Xu Shiren, the hero of Lu County who had just arrived last night and met him for the first time today, and immediately nodded: "In that case, Chief Xu, please help me guard him for ten days, and it won't be too late to return to the county."
When Wu Jingfeng saw this, he hurried out: "Junior sister is far away in Dengzhou. Erlang and I will guard Zhang Sanlang for her for a few days.)"
"If Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang go, they will definitely win this time." Zhang Xing still nodded.
Xu Shiying also turned around: "Leader, it is impossible for the army to attack Dongjun in a short time. The general will ask the army to be a swordsman." Zhang Xing also nodded.
Without him, Zhang Dalongtou is eager to use this punch to reveal his two years of dragon dethroning skills. How could he refuse?
However, it was these three Chengdan masters and Xu Shiying. If the others asked for it, Zhang Xing would directly deny it. Now that the generals were in place, the entire army began to eat and prepare for crossing the river.
He just picked up the bowl, and then someone jumped up and asked to see him.
The person who came was Lu Changheng. After being captured that day, he was appointed to a higher rank. Now he is serving as a county lieutenant in Ji County to maintain law and order. This recruitment of troops also came because of the close proximity.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xing still has some concerns about this old team.
"I have some ambition, and I don't want to waste it on Fang Zhi'an. Lu Changheng bowed his head. "Please give me a chance to remember my old relationship."
"Okay." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and answered immediately. "The whole army is about to cross the river. You will be the last to cross. After crossing the river, go to Pingyuan Ande City alone to meet Qian Tang and persuade him to surrender."
"What if he doesn't surrender?" Lu Changheng replied.
And Zhang Xing also continued to give instructions: "If he doesn't surrender, tell him that I am going to fight the Hejian soldiers and persuade him to go out of the city to stop the army!"
"But what if he doesn't leave the city?" Lu Changheng was sweating profusely and continued to ask.
"Over there, advise him to stay and wait for reinforcements, and then wait for our army to besiege the city. Then come out at night, inform him of his sleeping location, and lead more than ten alchemy masters in to deal with him." Zhang Xingjiu had already prepared a plan.
Lu Changheng didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.
He had already seen it and thought that as long as Zhang Xing crossed properly, marched quickly, and successfully attacked the soldiers and horses in the river, it didn't matter what happened to him and Qian Tang. This was a test of his loyalty.
He even ran away because he was afraid that the old boss in front of him wouldn't care anymore.
Thinking about it, the current Deposed Dragon Gang is lacking in talents. If one day it sweeps Hebei, masters and great masters will emerge.
A small incident, not worth mentioning. After dinner, Zhang Xing asked people to raise a flag with the word "deposed" on a red background, set up a horse on the embankment, and then led the leaders to supervise the crossing of the river, plus 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and four people. Only 20,000 people were killed in Guan in one day and night, all wearing winter clothes, ear protection, and thick winter shoes. The Lu brothers also put together the boats on the river early, supplemented by wood, planks, ropes, and iron, and built a foot-long There are seven or eight pontoon bridges. The army is crossing the river like a shuttle. If the sun is not rising slightly, less than half of it has passed.
At this time, Xu Shiying, who was standing solemnly under the banner, came to remind Zhang Xing: "Third brother, it's almost done."
Zhang Xing didn't show any pretense, he stood up directly and wanted to cross the river with his troops.
When Zhi came to the big place in front of the pontoon, suddenly someone came from behind and shouted, asking everyone to stop and catch up. Just then, Li Shu also hurriedly stepped up and was about to arrive. Chai Xiaohe gave way and waited for Li Shu to see him off. deliver.
Zhang Xing thought for a while and decided to wait. He only asked Jia Yue to lead his troops to cross first. Jia Yue was unwilling to go first because the Chinese army wanted to follow the general, so he replaced him with Zhai Qian and led his troops to cross first.
Sure enough, within a moment, Li Shu, who was almost exhausted and covered in water, appeared under the river embankment, and then came from a distance (this chapter is not finished yet!)

He stretched out his hand and said, "Zhang Sanlang, I'm late. Since you are heading north in a hurry, I must come to see you off."
Zhang Xing smiled and didn't care at all. He even suspected that the other party had been nearby early at night, trying to take advantage of the time and hiding his true energy.
But as the two held hands on the river embankment, Zhang Xingran turned his head and saw the river rushing eastward under the sun. He thought of the past on the embankment downstream that day and what Xiong Bonan said on the other side, but his heart moved for a moment.
After pausing for a moment, Xingfang turned around and spoke sincerely in front of everyone's attention: "Li, look at the turbulent waves of this big river. It's already difficult for a mortal to stand in it, let alone fly across it? And since we work together and make an oath, I should work hard to hold my talents. Now I am going to the north of the Ruhe River, and Li Gong and the south of the Yinghe River.
Li Shu and the people around him obviously stunned, especially Li Shu, who held the other hand, somehow, he always felt that the other party's words were actually from the lungs)
And if that, the person's mind was amazing.
Recalling that I had thought about doing it before, I had to be a little bit of power and selfishness, lost their cares, and lost people's hearts.
For a moment, he wanted to bow to worship, sincerely and sincerely agreed.
I just thought about it, although it was big that day, I did not see the talents of the two emperors. This person had such a mind, just for a moment, not enough to end his life.
However, it was precisely because of awakening that Li Shu stopped thinking and said on the spot that he almost burst into tears. Zhang Xing didn't count too much, and he also bowed his head and worshiped.
This, the two worshiped on the embankment, and then they thought about it.
For a moment, the "黜" flag on the red background has moved to the other side.
Seeing this shape, many people sighted like Li Shu, while the river, many people looked at the rising sun in the east as Zhang Xing, and then moved east immediately.
So-called:
"The being mad and idiom, in the early morning, wants to do it in the morning. At the same time, the other wife stopped, and the public crossed the river.
There are real dragons and white teeth. "
