"One battalion of light cavalry, one battalion of boat divisions, come when you want, leave when you want?! What is Mr. Yuanfu doing? His Wuyang County is so big, he doesn't have 20,000 county soldiers?! He won't stop him?!" In the morning Under the sun, Xue Changxiong sat on the general platform in the Taiyuan-Wu'an coalition camp, blowing the breeze after the spring rain. His posture was calm, but he suddenly spoke, interrupting the discussion in front of him with a slightly fierce tone. It seemed that What emotions are being expressed.
"Reporting to Mr. Xue, this matter is not unusual. The army of the deposed dragon thieves was divided into two. One part is trapped here, and the other part is in a dilemma on the border of the plain. Qingqi, patrol cavalry and the boat division came to disrupt our logistics. There is not much they can do at the moment; and after all, the people in Wuyang County are just ordinary county soldiers, and it is normal that they have not succeeded in intercepting them. They can't even blame the people in Wuyang County for turning a blind eye, because they were the ones who turned a blind eye more than ten days ago. It is still under the rule of the deposed dragon thief, and it is said that the notices used were issued by the deposed dragon thief..." A leading soldier glanced at Bai Hengqiu and others who were next to Xue Changxiong, and explained seriously.
"Having said that, there is an excuse for everything. Why do you need military law? What do you need us to do?" At this moment, one of the people who joined the army raised his voice and criticized his colleagues.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, but it was Dou Li who joined the army... Immediately, most of the superiors found it interesting, and most of his colleagues were wary.
"Dou Shenjun was joking." Of course the leader immediately became alert. "We have already made plans for the protection of the grain road before we heard the news. We are going to send troops today. How can we say that we have done nothing? As for military law, Wuyang County has its own system. Mr. Yuanfu is still your Excellency and Young Master Fang. If you want to talk about it, if you want to use military law, it will naturally have to be decided by the British father-in-law himself."
"I'm not blaming my colleagues, but I want to say that in Wuyang County, we seem to have missed the point..." Dou Li said proudly. "What's the key here? Is it that the food and grass were robbed? Is it that the people dispersed in a hurry? As your Excellency said, we all expected these, and it would be strange if they didn't come. What's the problem? Mr. Yu Yuanfu always He was perfunctory, the food line was cut off, he pretended to be deaf and didn't go and immediately organized another delivery; the county soldiers watched the deposed dragon thief come and go like the wind, but he didn't deal with the leading officer; when the civilians left in a hurry He took away the food and grass, but he didn't do anything to collect it, and he didn't show the way to the deposed dragon thief, but he didn't punish the criminal... This is the problem."
"So, Mr. Dou wants to say that the matters in Wuyang County are only the business of Yuanfu Jun? How should we deal with it?" the leader said with a gun and a stick. "Master Dou is going to kill someone with a knife? But if so, why do you need to tell us?"
"I'm not saying that Wuyang County is just a matter of Yuanbaocun, I am saying that Wuyang County's affairs should start from Yuanbaocun..." At this point, Dou Li, who joined the army, stopped paying attention to his colleagues and looked at the person sitting there. The top few who were looking at the real big shots spoke sincerely. "Young Master, Duan Gong, Xue Gong... Li Gong, the logistics are being harassed, and there are only two methods. One is to divide the troops to protect, which we are ready for; the other is to send people from Wuyang County. Let's start and cheer up the officials and soldiers of Wuyang... The former will achieve immediate results, while the latter will save worry and effort, and the two can go hand in hand."
"So, Dou Canjun wants to ask Ying to handle this matter?" Bai Hengqiu finally asked seriously.
"Yes!" Dou Li gritted his teeth and handed over his hand. "Please Ming Gong, please give me three thousand soldiers, and take over the power of supervising the affairs of Wuyang County with me. I will be able to handle this matter properly, otherwise I will bring it up to see you!"
Bai Hengqiu was silent for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly laughed, then turned to look at Dou Qi and pointed his finger at Dou Li below: "I didn't expect that a tiger father has no dog son!"
Dou Qi, the general of the Chinese army, was not happy but worried: "A kid can only talk about war and has little experience, let alone stand alone on one side? Not to mention, just for the attention of Bo Baigong and Xue Gong, he actually suppressed his colleagues for no reason and did not care about the future. Lu...please ask Mr. Bai not to spoil him."
Dou Li was embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately he kept his head bowed and no one saw him.
"Who didn't spend time when they were young? Is it you or me?" Shi Wei suddenly interrupted and laughed, as if he didn't care. "Besides, this job is perfect for practicing... As this guy said, it may be more effective to suppress Yuan Gong while sending troops. If he can think of this, let him go!"
"That's right." Now that Duan Wei opened his mouth, Bai Hengqiu, who was originally hesitant, was naturally speechless. "Then let's do it... Dou Qi!"
Dou Qi knew that the situation in front of these people was beyond his control, so after thinking carefully for a moment, he personally told his own children regardless of the situation: "Given the identity and position of Duke Yuan, Wuyang County's strength is not the same." Weak, you must always know that you are taking advantage of the power of Duke Bai, Duke Duan, and Duke Xue to act as an envoy and supervisor. Don't get carried away, let alone push yourself too far or bring shame on yourself. Appear."
Dou Li was overjoyed and immediately bowed down on the spot, kowtowing to his father, Bai Hengqiu, and Duan Wei respectively. Behind him, there were many military officers and soldiers who heard the words and looked at them coldly, or smiled as brightly as spring, but each had their own mood.
In this way, Dou Li grabbed a job of his own and left proudly. The people around him continued to discuss some military affairs, but they were much more cautious... Without him, not everyone had a father whose surname was Dou, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.
What's more, today's routine military meeting is under the sun. In front of so many people, the real meaning is actually just to give a military intelligence report to General Xue Changxiong, who has just arrived. It just happened to be that the dragon thief was deposed in the past two days. Leaders Hao Yide, Cao Chen, and Liu Heifu took turns to harass the rear of the army in Wuyang County and Wu'an County and block the transportation of grain. Among them, the road to the north of Qingzhang River was blocked by Xue Changxiong's marching route. Bian actually suffered a lot of losses...and then this guy suddenly caught him and took the opportunity to show off.
Of course, from a military perspective, this is indeed an important issue.
"Just such passive protection is not a solution." After the small disturbance passed, Xue Changxiong, who had just arrived, continued to frown. "There are too many soldiers and horses. There are 110,000 to 20,000 soldiers now. Tomorrow Feng Gong and his companions will arrive at 1,340,000, and the day after tomorrow there will be 1,500,000 or 60,000... With so many soldiers, once the logistics cannot keep up, it will be a huge disaster. Even ten great masters can’t feed people enough, right?”
"So we need to divide it into two, surround it tightly, and then divide our troops to sweep. If we take down the entire Qinghe County, even if he wants to harass him, he can only harass Qinghe. How can he still reach behind us?" Duan Wei He caught the words with extraordinary momentum.
"With so many soldiers, it is right to use offense as defense." Xue Changxiong responded seriously. "If they are all piled up here, there will be trouble... Zhang Xing is cunning!"
"No need to remind Mr. Xue." Bai Hengqiu sighed. "I put on this formation, even vaguely planning a sneak attack, because I decided that he was a formidable enemy! How could I despise him?"
"Is Fulong Seal real?" Xue Changxiong nodded again, but changed the topic.
"Everyone, go and rest first." At this point, Bai Hengqiu suddenly waved his hand to signal others to get out of the way. "I'll just have a few words with Mr. Xue, Mr. Duan, and Li Silang."
After hearing the military order, all the generals and officers from Dou Qi and Sun Shunde on down joined the army, and even the guards left the general platform one after another. What was interesting was that Li Ding, who had been silent all this time, also stood up and raised his hands to each other: "We are in the camp There are still military affairs in the country, so I won’t delay the elders’ private reminiscing.”
Bai, Duan and others nodded, and for a while there were only three people sitting on the stage facing each other.
"It's true." After they left, Bai Hengqiu answered the question seriously. "If this is not the case, I will end him that day."
Xue Changxiong looked at the empty general platform and was a little puzzled: "Didn't Wanjun see what happened that day? Is there anything that needs to be covered up?"
"With the coalition forces, and they come from all over the country, there are more interests and dangers, and some things cannot be put on the table." Bai Hengqiu was quite magnanimous. "For example, in this matter, the Fulong Seal is real, but how it got into Zhang Xing's hands cannot be said publicly, otherwise someone will be embarrassed..."
"How did it get into the hands of Zhang Xing?" Xue Changxiong glanced at Duan Wei, who obviously knew the key to the matter and remained silent, and was too late to ask.
"According to the prisoners and surrender, Wu Jingfeng and Wu Dalang specially went to Dongdu to steal it. It happened to be delivered before the war. Judging from the timing of Wu Dalang's disappearance in Henan, the time is completely correct." Duan Wei Just blurt it out. "The previous signs of the Fulong Seal should also be in the Black Tower of Dongdu... This thing is naturally designed to deal with those with low cultivation level against those with high cultivation level. It is useless if Cao Lin takes it."
"Then what is there to avoid?" Xue Changxiong was puzzled for a moment, but almost immediately, he remembered the situation on the Red Mountain, and then he woke up on his own and was shocked. "Are you two talking about Taoist Priest Chonghe?! He...he has other thoughts?"
"I don't know." Bai Hengqiu shook his head. "Perhaps he wants me to abandon Hebei and go to Guanxi earlier. Perhaps Fulongyin has its own specialties, and even his cultivation level cannot be noticed..."
"If I want you to go to Kansai earlier, why not just help you get rid of Zhang Xing quickly?" Xue Changxiong asked with a frown.
"That's a pure accident." Bai Hengqiu sighed.
"It may be that Zhang Xing is secretly in line with destiny, or even Sanhui has a will..." Duan Wei responded seriously, and he didn't know whether he was serious or pretending. Anyway, Xue Changxiong always felt that the other party was joking and ridiculing.
"That's the problem." Bai Hengqiu looked at Xue Changxiong and then at Duan Wei, but he didn't know who he was talking to. "We trust Guo Chong and Taoist Priest. I made a little nod and a promise to him. I never thought he would deliberately do anything to hinder me. At most, he claimed to be an outsider and took action against Cao Lin for me once. They didn't want to interfere too much, so they turned a blind eye to Wu Dalang and Fulongyin... But what about the others? They always felt that there was a conspiracy and entanglement... and it was this kind of self-conception that there was an entanglement. The stakes make things really complicated."
"I know, it's rare to be confused." As expected, it was Duan Wei who laughed. "It's rare to be confused. The more people gather together, the harder it is to be confused. Otherwise, everyone will be fooled. In two days, all the government and military forces in Hebei will be here. You can see it... I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, but Those who have experience, General Xue is in Hebei, must also have experience... After all, your British prince is not an emperor after all."
Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong were both speechless.
Seeing this, Duan Wei didn't know whether he felt bored or made a mistake, so he stood up and cupped his hands in the same way: "I came here early this morning. I haven't checked things in the camp on the other side yet, so I went over first and let's have dinner together in the evening."
Bai and Xue both stood up to see him off, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.
After watching Duan Wei leave, Bai Hengqiu slowly shook his head and sat back: "No matter what, what Mr. Duan said makes sense, so at first I just wanted to use fighting to gather the crowd, but I didn't really want to gather the crowd. In combat, Zhang Xing has been forced into a corner by using the Fulong Seal... and has to fight with the masses."
Xue Changxiong, who had also just sat down, narrowed his eyes... Without him, when we met today, starting from this sentence, the British were overly candid.
After all, although they have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, they are both from the Guanlong clan, and they are of the same age. They have known each other for a long time, and they can talk to each other... But what is the situation now? Now the world is in chaos. My family once controlled almost all of Hebei, and even now it is considered the top three princes in Hebei. However, the other party has controlled the land of Jin, the eastern capital, and is preparing to take over all of Kansai!
Even Bai Hengyuan, who controlled Jing Xiang, had to be taken into consideration.
And the reason why he came here was first of all because of the opposition between officials and thieves. In Hebei, he and the Deposed Dragon Gang were enemies rather than friends. The two sides had enmity. Murong Zhengyan could only go out in a sedan chair now. He had several sons who could not be forgotten. Already?
Secondly, to put it bluntly, if the Deposed Dragon Gang develops further, I and the Hejian Camp will be the first to bear the brunt. And if I had some illusions before, thinking that as time goes by, the situation may not be able to change, then Hongshan a few days ago As soon as he went on, he realized that he was unlikely to be the opponent of that young man and his Deposed Dragon Gang... He actually couldn't understand those words, but he could tell that Zhang Xing, including the Deposed Dragon Gang, The seriousness shown by other people in the room, the kind of seriousness to discuss with the great master about what is beneficial in the world and what is the Dharma.
These people were previously knights, court officials, and down-and-out scribes. I had never seen them with such momentum at that time.
At that time, General Xue actually had a complex feeling of fear and admiration.
In fact, before the Hongshan Conference that day, when Wang Huaitong sent people to meet with him privately as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei Marching Army, Xue Changxiong did not make up his mind. It was the inexplicable fear on Hongshan Mountain, Wang Huaitong's personal visit later, and the internal pressure It was his approval that led to the dispatch of troops.
And in the end, it was inevitable, as Bai Hengqiu admitted, that this troop dispatch itself was a kind of alliance, an alliance brought together by a common enemy, and an alliance that recognized Bai Hengqiu's status.
Coming here vaguely represents surrender.
Duan Wei's "emperor" also means the same thing, it's just a contradictory word.
Of course, Xue Changxiong was opposed to this from the bottom of his heart... Otherwise, why did he walk so slowly in the last few days?
Of course, it finally came.
"What about Taoist Priest Chonghe?" Xue Changxiong looked at the bright spring light on the clear water. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked. "What difficulties do the others have? Why don't you tell Mr. Bai? I can also cover it up... How about Mr. Duan?"
"Of course Duan Gong's taboo is the Eastern Capital affairs." Bai Hengqiu answered frankly. "Once this area extends, Li Shu will definitely send troops to the Eastern Capital. In addition, he is actually very dissatisfied with me giving orders...but he is more reliable than anyone else in dealing with the deposed dragon thief. We must respect him."
Xue Changxiong nodded: "Mr. Duan has no selfish motives. He is greedy for public service and forgets his own selfishness, which leads to this."
Bai Hengqiu was startled for a moment, nodded, and then continued: "There is also Li Ding. He was flirting with Zhang Xing, and since I came out of Hongshan to coerce him, he was naturally a little dissatisfied. Later, I promised him He regarded the two counties of Qinghe and Pingyuan as his own, and he was not allowed to do anything arbitrarily... Last time I talked about logistics, collecting food on the spot was part of the question, but it should not be done in public. He said, in the end, he took the initiative to bring it up in front of me, Duke Duan, and the generals and officers of the army, just to try to bully me into making a promise with him. Including what happened in Wuyang County today, he did not allow us to pick it up on the spot that day. The consequences of food. Without that incident, it doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t transport food from the rear, but at least we wouldn’t be as concerned about it as we are now.”
"If we really start sweeping the two counties, how can he have the final say here whether to collect food locally or not?" Xue Changxiong said disapprovingly. "But I do understand him somewhat. In the past few years, the government and army were too harsh in Hebei. As a result, the sky was angry and people were resentful, so Zhang Xing was given the opportunity to take land across the river. Now I am asked to go and take the food from the people in Hejian and Xindu. I won't agree to it either. Also, why do you keep saying you want to clean up Qinghe, but are so slow to do so? Who are you worrying about?"
"No one has any worries. I'm just waiting for Mr. Xue to come." Bai Hengqiu said seriously. "It's our duty to trap Zhang Xing to death. This is why we raided Qinghe. If you don't come, we won't be able to take action..."
"Can't you make a move?" Xue Changxiong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the endless camp. But when he glanced at several flags, he suddenly realized. "You don't dare to let Li Ding lead the army alone, or even let him control the encirclement? Are you just going to let the Dongdu Army do the mopping up?"
"Before you came, the Dongdu Army had to control the other side of the Qinghe River and several nearby cities. It was really hard." Bai Hengqiu avoided a direct response. "When you come, the encirclement is complete, and there are soldiers and horses. Immediately ask Duke Xue to divide his troops to hold the lower and north sides of the Qingzhang River, and then divide his troops to move further downstream to sweep. Dongdu's soldiers and horses will block the other bank and move towards Qinghe River. Go deep into the county and echo you across the river."
"What if the large army from the Plains of Deposed Dragon Gang comes to fight?" Xue Changxiong asked. "What if Sanniang also comes from the rear?"
"It doesn't matter whether Sanniang comes or not. They are coming anyway. As long as they dare to attack, we will immediately go to fight and crush that side. The effect is second only to killing Zhang Xing and his gang. The elite... This is why I have to wait for you to come. Firstly, the camp is so intricate that it is really difficult to deal with it; secondly, everything must be tight to prevent any flaws from being exposed, and the strength of the troops must be calculated properly." Bai Hengqiu said more and more. Be sincere.
"That day in Dongdu, I once heard the old Prime Minister Zhang say that under a giant tree, there are intertwined roots, and it is the intertwining of roots that makes the giant tree." Xue Changxiong also became sincere when he heard this. "Mr. Bai, these troubles you have are actually caused by a rising tide lifting all boats. Once you deal with them, they will become giant trees in the sky. There is no need to worry about them."
Bai Hengqiu also laughed: "If I regard other people as vines, Mr. Xue is just a tiger borrowing my shade. I dare not restrain him... After this battle, I will go to Guanxi, and I will leave the affairs of Hebei to me." Duke Xue, it’s like handing over everything to Duke Duan.”
"Isn't Hebei given to Li Ding?" Xue Changxiong looked puzzled.
"Li Silang will cultivate talents, and given time, he will become a great weapon. However, he is young, has few achievements, and lacks prestige. We just expect him to clean up the old place of the deposed dragon thief in Hebei." Bai Hengqiu said seriously. "To the north of Xiangguo, Zhaojun, Hengshan, and the Bohai Sea to the east, including the future handling of the northern land, we will all rely on Xue Gong."
"Luo Shu is on the way." Xue Changxiong reminded seriously. "How are Mr. Bai prepared to promise him?"
Bai Hengqiu was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "Mr. Xue is just like Li Silang. He always wants people to say things they don't want to say."
"There are only you and me here, even Mr. Duan has left."
"Three radiances and four emperors are probably listening too." Bai Hengqiu sighed. "This is not the same as whether or not to eat locally. That matter can be passed on to the people below. I'm afraid I will lie about it anyway..."
"Who are you lying to, me or Luo Shu?" Xue Changxiong suddenly laughed.
"Of course it's Luo Shu." Bai Hengqiu sighed. "I must promise him something, but how can I really let him, an old official from the Eastern Qi Dynasty and a local military commander from Hebei, take control of the Youzhou camp?"
"Youzhou Camp is already named Hebei." Xue Changxiong reminded seriously.
"So we must eradicate them, but now we must appease them..."
"What's the matter? Soldiers are crafty, why should they be so worried?"
"This moment, that moment." Bai Hengqiu paused and said seriously. "In the past, being a general, a minister, or a prime minister was all right. If you want to go further, you have to be upright, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things..."
"It's somewhat similar to Zhang San." Xue Changxiong thought thoughtfully.
"This is why he must be eradicated." Bai Hengqiu became more serious.
Xue Changxiong nodded, knowing that the other party had made a temporary promise, but he did not go into details. Instead, he suddenly gave up on the matter and asked: "What if Henan's deposed dragon thief soldiers and horses do not go to attack Dongdu, but instead cross the river and attack from both sides with the Pingyuan Army?" ?”
"Li Shu is a man who is timid, lacking in plans, and has his own personal agenda. He dare not come here." Bai Hengqiu blurted out.
"Such a bad person stirred up the world to this extent?" Xue Changxiong looked puzzled.
"There are no perfect heroes in this world." Bai Hengqiu explained. "Having ambition, having a broad vision, and knowing what you want is already a great achievement."
Xue Changxiong raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask: "What does Mr. Bai want?"
"Of course I am ready to clarify the inner world and bring order to the world." Bai Hengqiu came to the answer confidently and hesitated for so long just to not be discouraged by these words.
"If you say so, don't you and your son-in-law want to bring order to the world?" Xue Changxiong still looked puzzled. "Why do we have to fight to the death with swords instead?"
"His world is not the same as mine." Grand Master Bai Hengqiu actually felt a little thirsty. He felt that Xue Changxiong had never been so verbose in his life, and he even regretted letting Li Ding go with him. Duan Wei left.
"Then what exactly is Duke Bai's world like...forget it." Xue Changxiong blurted out to ask, but inexplicably shut up and returned to military arrangements. "So, the current arrangement is to trap Zhang Xing to death, divide the troops to sweep the Qinghe River, protect the grain road, prepare to defeat the reinforcements... and not try to attack Zhang Xing again?"
"Does Mr. Xue want to attack Zhang Xing?" Bai Hengqiu perked up.
"How is that possible?" Xue Changxiong shook his head repeatedly. "If Fulongyin cooperates with the big formation, your great master will retreat. If I go with a master like Huai Tonggong, won't it mean that I will die?"
Bai Hengqiu smiled and said nothing.
"Speaking of Duke Huai Tong, what are his taboos?" Xue Changxiong asked curiously.
"He is similar to Taoist Chonghe. He only promised a specific thing, that is, he will set an example for me in Taiyuan that day, and then come out to Hebei to be an envoy. It is even more difficult for him to go into battle, and if he does something If you go too far, you will also attract his disgust." Bai Hengqiu said something.
"It's already very good. Taoist Chonghe helped you solve the biggest trouble. Duke Huaitong connected Hebei for you and is still dragging you with Feng Wuyi. And Duke Duan also controlled the elite of Dongdu for you. , I, Xue Changxiong, Feng Wuyi, Luo Shu and others have also sent out troops, what else can Duke Bai demand?" Xue Changxiong came to say leisurely.
"How dare you be so demanding?" Bai Hengqiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "It's just a pity that I encountered a copper pea that couldn't be smashed for a while... I have never had any resentment towards you."
"You are nothing like a copper pea. Now, Zhang Xing is trapped by you on the side of the clear water, just like a fish without water, just waiting to die." Xue Changxiong sighed. "Even someone like me, who lost to him and knows his abilities, doesn't think he has any chance."
Bai Hengqiu shook his head slowly.
"Are there any flaws?"
"Not at the moment, but when there are more soldiers and horses, and each family has taboos, it is natural to worry that other flaws will appear in the future."
"Thinking too much." Xue Changxiong said with a smile, and then looked at the front of the general platform. There, Duan Ruan came back from the river and came straight here. Behind him, officers, attendants, clerks, and soldiers followed. The scene is also amazing. "Last question, you've been talking for a long time. I know everyone's taboos, but you don't know what my taboos are here with Mr. Bai?"
"Can't you force your Excellency to use excessive force?" Bai Hengqiu replied tentatively.
"It should be so. After losing troops and generals, these 30,000 troops will be the final foundation. If it is gone, it is really gone. Naturally, we have to be careful." Xue Changxiong admitted frankly, and then stood up, ready to greet Duan Wei. "But Mr. Bai, does he know what your taboos are with me?"
Bai Hengqiu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Mr. Xue, please speak."
"You are a great grand master, and you are from a famous family in the world. You also control almost the entire Jin Dynasty. You are considered to be the most powerful force in the world. You also claim to clarify Yunei and bring order to the world. However, just because you can cause a surprise attack in this battle, you actually did not go there. Hongshan tells all the people in Hebei your laws and regulations, your thoughts and principles, and your ambitions and strategies, which puzzles me, an ignorant person." Xue Changxiong spoke calmly, as if he was just gossiping. .
Bai Hengqiu looked at the people swarming back, and could only respond in a low voice: "With all due respect, clarifying the inner world and reshaping the world is the greatest truth in itself!"
"Then why don't you say it?" Xue Changxiong asked inwardly, but he just nodded without comment.
The next moment, Duan Wei arrived, but his face turned pale and his expression was stern: "The British Lord, General Xue, military information came from Liyangcang in Ji County, saying that the Henan Dragon Slayer bandits were crossing the river to attack! The defenders of Liyangcang suffered heavy casualties! We can't do anything for the time being. Give out food!”
Bai Hengqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he took the initiative to go forward and greet him: "Don't worry, Mr. Duan. Now that Mr. Xue has arrived, we can safely divide our troops to settle these small matters."
Duan Wei did not answer, but walked forward quickly, and continued to speak in a low voice next to the other party: "There is a rumor coming from there..."
"What rumors?" Bai Hengqiu was confused for a moment.
"It is said that although Cao Lin died, before his death he summoned Sima Zheng to lead the Xuzhou army into the eastern capital." Duan Wei seemed to be frightened in his words. "Tell me, is this true? Cao Lin gave us a scorpion barb before he died!"
The stage seemed to be quiet for a few breaths. Then, Bai Hengqiu suddenly shook his head and laughed loudly: "What is this? Zhang Xing can only provide food for more than ten days, and how long does it take for tens of thousands of troops to get from Xuzhou to the east? There is Huaixi along the way. The Henan Army and the Henan Army stopped him, aren't they going to fight? By the time he arrives, Zhang Xing has collapsed, and we are just going to Dongdu to wait for work... Mr. Duan, if this matter is settled, I will accompany you to Dongdu."
"Also, such rumors are not allowed to be spread in the army!" Xue Changxiong stood on one side with his hands behind his hands. He listened coldly and then added to the following soldiers. "We must investigate seriously... In addition, we must send troops to clear the river as soon as possible."
The officers below all said yes, and Bai Hengqiu nodded immediately, but Duan Wei still didn't come to his senses... He wasn't overwhelmed by the news. He didn't have any reason to change his stance before he reached this level. After all, now that things are clear between us and the enemy, will Sima Zheng, whom Cao Lin recruited, accept him?
How can we still find peace after doing some things?
However, even so, or what shocked Duan Gong, the Minister of War of the Great Wei Dynasty and one of the Eight Nobles of the Eastern Capital, was that even though the truth was so clear, at that moment, he still felt a little bit regretful and shaken.
Even if he is like this, how will the sergeant from Dongdu react when he hears the relevant information?
