It's no wonder that a shrewd person like Liu Heifu is confused, because the word loyalty is too loud, but it seems to be far away in the horizon... Just like the three radiances and four emperors, he knows in his heart that there is such a thing, but if it is true appeared in front of me, but instead felt weird and frightened.
In fact, for several hundred years since the Tang Dynasty crossed south, the so-called etiquette has collapsed, people's hearts have been ruined, there have been constant criticisms from north to south, and the powerful and powerful have led beasts and cannibals. Several times, we have seen someone or an organization trying to end the troubled times. But the result is also known to everyone, what happened to Da Wei is right in front of us.
All of a sudden, my confidence was shattered again.
So, so far, this is a world of armed chaos that has lasted for hundreds of years, with moral standards declining and no hope in sight.
As for human beings, their life is only a few decades, and the path of cultivation is extremely difficult. The key is that the pinnacle of cultivation that affects the mortal world, that is, the great masters, rarely succeeds in attaining enlightenment and becomes a being that hinders death, so We really can't blame these people for not being able to see the historical progress of tens of thousands of years. Ordinary people can make judgments based on their short life experiences and recent historical performance, which is already a sign of wisdom.
But the result of this is that in this era, few people really regard "loyalty" as a weight with a specific weight to weigh the issue when considering things.
Of course, on the other hand, if you can still persist, even if you just talk about it, it is really good.
Returning to Liu Heifu, he is certainly not a good kind...he talks about loyalty when he opens and shuts up. That's because he was a gangster from the beginning, a vagrant who was squeezed out of the orderly society, plus the previous He couldn't find an opportunity to cultivate himself. He didn't have Dou Lide's loyalty to protect him in his hometown, and he didn't have those brothers on the road to help him in other places. Any township head or village chief killed him, so loyalty is the basis of his survival. He has the instinct to discuss issues, and he cannot live without loyalty... Moreover, the loyalty in his mouth is often the loyalty that others have towards him.
As for his loyalty to others, it seems that he has gradually developed it. After becoming the commander-in-chief of the first battalion, he learned how to win over the officers and soldiers below. But this is still utilitarian. He knows full well that he is seeking utilitarianism and wants to use these soldiers to make achievements.
In the same way, Zhong...is he so loyal? !
The reason why he was so interested was first of all because he could only stay in the Deposed Dragon Gang. He was a gangster from Hebei, so he went to Dongdu to gain fame? Or go to Dongyi to become a first-class noble family? He can only be a rebel, he can't do anything else, he doesn't have the capital or ability.
And what about the rebels? He has a lot of options to choose from. If nothing else works, he will just depose the Dragon Gang.
But it was precisely in the Deposed Dragon Gang that he, a gangster from Hebei, actually became a serious leader and general of the first battalion. He was in charge of troops and made achievements. With the establishment of achievements, his cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds... It's not so much this kind of thing. The feeling is so hard to let go. It would be better to say that if I kill him, he won't want to go back to his old days!
He needs to use his continuous meritorious deeds, his status within the gang, and his progress in cultivation to prove that he was just unsuccessful before. He was just a dragon swimming in shallow water and a tiger falling in the sun, rather than a real shrimp in the mud and a wild dog on the roadside.
Therefore, the overall situation of the Deposed Dragon Gang cannot be bad!
Whoever ruins the situation of the Deposed Dragon Gang will be Liu Heifu's life and death enemy! The kind who would bite out a bite of meat even if he died!
But this is not loyalty.
Because this is a gang of deposed insects, he also has to protect it! He wants to save Chief Zhao, Chief Wang, and even Chief Bai! He, Liu Heifu, is only loyal to his own achievements and his current sense of accomplishment and identity!
So again, he is so loyal!
It was precisely because he saw clearly that Liu Heifu was immediately frightened and panicked when he faced the word "loyalty" from Mrs. Ding... because he could see that the other party was very serious. Say this.
And he's not good at this.
"What the old lady said is not true..." Liu Heifu was embarrassed for a moment. "First of all, I'm just a little suspicious, but it may not be true, otherwise I wouldn't have inquired. Secondly, even if there is something really wrong, I can't say it's Leader Ding's fault. It's probably just that they don't know the situation in Hebei."
"What's the situation in Hebei now?" Mrs. Ding asked seriously.
Liu Heifu felt no pressure anymore, so he explained the situation in Hebei from his perspective one by one, and finally summarized: "The main reason is the encirclement. Chief Zhang and several big leaders are sealed inside, and there is no military order." Believe it or not, it is the turn of the people below to make their own decisions... In Hebei, it is Wei Longtou and Chief Zhang's two deputies at the general station, namely General Manager Chen and Chief Dou, who make the decision. In Henan, it is natural that Li Longtou, let alone Huaixi. , there is no hope... If Li Longtou said at this time that he was waiting in Henan just to save the chief, there was nothing anyone could do. But since we received the military order to cut off the army and saw the fighter plane again, we must come over and give it a try. At the very least, if you ask me in person, you can give up on this idea."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ding thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, then shook her head:
"What you said makes sense, but it's still incomplete... If other people have other people's ideas, there's nothing you can do about it, but everyone should have their own reasons, otherwise they won't be able to stand up in this world... Just like my son , he started doing business in Jishui with Wang Wulang. It was all thanks to Wang Wulang's support that all the people in the family could be reduced in the Three Expeditions. Then he swore an oath when the gang was established, and promoted Wei Longtou to be the chief. Then Chief Zhang was elected as chief by hundreds of leaders at the meeting. He also raised his hand and swore an oath. The first one was his benefactor and elder brother, and the last two were his serious gang leaders, so others He can care about these three people, but he cannot care about these three people... If he betrays these three people, it is unintentional, and he is also an unfaithful and unjust person."
Liu Heifu thought about it for a while, and this principle probably corresponded to Dou Lide and Zhang Xing when he applied it to himself... If this was the case, it seemed to make sense. If something happened to these two people and they couldn't be saved, they would come from his own Qingqi camp. Brother, are you afraid that the leaders above and below you will no longer believe in me?
After thinking about this, he nodded, but quickly pressed down the topic that made him feel uncomfortable, and returned to the original: "What the old lady wants to teach me is, what words did Leader Ding have to reveal?"
"No, never." Mrs. Ding came back to her senses and told her seriously. "When he goes out to do things, he never talks to me about the difficulties and disadvantages, only the advantages... However, now that you have said it, I remembered something. I heard a relative who came to see me yesterday say that the Huaixi defeat was a big defeat. Now, Nantou is gathering the defeated troops in Huaixi, but I don’t know how they were defeated, and with whom?”
Liu Heifu thought for a while, but immediately took it up. After all, he was the one who took over the Thirteen King Kongs, and he was the one who sent the suspicious news about Sima Zheng to Wei Xuanding. But precisely because of this, the news had no value to him.
Therefore, he just glanced at Mother Ding in front of him and immediately stood up: "If this is the case, the situation will definitely become more tense. I have to go to Xingyang quickly to prevent the leader from not knowing the overall situation and doing things on his own... Old lady, please give me some dry food and two horses, I have to leave quickly."
Sure enough, Mrs. Ding was a little anxious when she saw this. She thought for a moment, then got up from the hall and came forward: "Leader Liu! You are here to seek help for Chief Zhang and the others. Xingyang is related to this matter." No, I should have written a letter to my son for you to take with me so that he would not get confused, but you left in a hurry and it was too late."
"It doesn't matter, that's why I came to your house."
Liu Heifu thought this in his heart, and naturally did not say it out loud. He just suddenly reminded him: "Otherwise, the old lady can just find a piece of paper and write a few words. If not, send a family member..."
"I actually thought of another idea, which is better than writing a letter." Mrs. Ding said with a smile at this time. "I asked my family to go with you to find someone. It's probably just along the way, just turn south... It's the relative who came to my house yesterday to talk. She has good cultivation. Let her go with you, and it won't delay you. When we reach Xingyang, she will naturally be able to explain it to my son, and my son will definitely know what I mean."
In fact, he sent someone to follow him. Liu Heifu was naturally overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this hero? Is he someone from the gang?"
"She is a well-known female steward, but she only applied for a patrol for a while, and now she is idle at home." Mrs. Ding just came to laugh. "These houses in Jishui are all familiar to each other. You will know them when you see them."
Liu Heifu, who had been hanging around in Dahe, was well-informed. When he heard the word "mistress", he was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized it, and then nodded immediately.
You must know that before Wang Shuyong deposed the Dragon Gang and established the gang, he was nothing more than a powerful local force at the junction of Dongjun and the western part of Jiyin. He then guarded the upper reaches of Jishui to do business in the southeast and northwest. He had a strong The Jianghu habits of the Jianghu easily formed a disorganized and complicated Jianghu group, among which there are countless three sects and nine streams. There must be many female practitioners like Ma Ping'er on the Huai River and Fan Lihua on the lower reaches of the J River. Hang out.
However, when establishing a gang, it is obvious that they will raise the flag of rebellion seriously, and most of the people in the group will be screened out. That is, the three core members Wang Wulang, Ding Shengying, and Zhang Shanxiang will be promoted, and they can be seen by outsiders. arrive.
Although Wei Xuanding and Ma Wei did borrow the power of this mountain to jump up, they were outsiders.
So what's left is that he has some skills, and later re-entered the Deposed Dragon Gang system. Liu Heifu, a leader based mainly in Hebei, didn't know and didn't know him, which is normal.
In short, Liu Heifu, who was experienced in the world of martial arts, probably knew who he wanted to meet and what the trick was, so he felt more at ease and hurriedly followed the family sent by Mrs. Ding to set off. As expected, he only followed the official road slightly towards Nanji. The direction of the water tilted a bit, and we arrived at a new manor just after noon.
At this time, he knew that this "female steward" should be a female relative of Zhang Shanxiang, another leader who was hanging out with Wang Shuyong.
However, although Liu Heifu guessed most of them correctly, he was still a little surprised when he saw him for the first time, and then it suddenly dawned on him... He finally knew why this "well-known female steward" did not depose Long. Help the system rise or reshape.
Without him, the other person seemed a little older.
"I already know what Sister-in-law Ding means. Let's go to Xingyang with Leader Liu now!" The female steward has gray hair and is already in her fifties or sixties, but she is energetic, tall and has a faint light in her eyes. He is a practitioner. After listening to the family members sent by Mrs. Ding, he understood it instantly. "Actually, that's what I meant. Chief Zhang and so many brothers are trapped. They are in Henan. How can they just sit still? It's just that my nephew is in Hebei now. It seems that I am doing it for selfish reasons. Now Chief Liu has come to ask for help seriously. , why can’t I help you?!”
It turned out that this person was the aunt of Zhang Shanxiang, the senior leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang, an old lady named Huo.
Liu Heifu came back to his senses and raised his voice in the manor's courtyard to respond, speaking righteously: "What Mrs. Huo said is absolutely true. We are ruthless and ruthless, and that's why the Deposed Dragon Gang came into being. And since we are risking our lives, If you come to follow Chief Zhang to eliminate the violent Wei and stabilize the world, you must be loyal and righteous! If you forget loyalty and righteousness, firstly, you will not be able to achieve great things, and secondly, you will not be able to stand in this world! Just for this, I, Liu Heifu, just crossed the river on horseback, so I must come over and ask for details!"
"Let's go now! Just wait for me for a moment!" Mrs. Huo became even more excited after hearing this, and she didn't delay at all.
Liu Heifu is incompetent.
In this way, Mrs. Huo changed into compact clothes and put on Liuhe boots. The two of them took a few companions, one person with two horses, and an extra mule carrying something, and set out on the road together. That afternoon, the sun was still shining. When I was still high, I arrived at Xingyang City in Xingyang County.
Frankly speaking, it was at this time that Liu Heifu was really convinced by Mrs. Huo.
The opponent's cultivation level has not reached the level of condensation, and the key is that he is at this age. An old woman can still be so energetic after running continuously for an afternoon. It is really amazing... If it had been any other messenger, He may not be able to keep up with a master of pill condensation who travels lightly.
However, he will soon realize that he is still shallow.
Xingyang City was very lively at this time, and there were many troops outside. Liu Heifu did not report his identity, but he knew Mrs. Huo quite well. The group easily passed the military defense line outside the city as Ding Shengying's family members, and inquired about Ding Shengying’s place to stay.
"Stop." After entering the city gate and coming to the street, Mrs. Huo was not in a hurry to get on her horse. "Let me put it on before I go to see the nephew of the Ding family!"
Liu Heifu didn't react for a moment.
But it didn't matter, he was stunned soon... The thing on the top of the mule was actually a full set of armor and weapons, and the companions were obviously used to it. After opening the package, they immediately swarmed up and put it on Mrs. Huo in the street. He wears an armor skirt on his waist, greaves on his legs, Liuhe boots with ribbons, and an iron crotch on his upper body. He then adds a goggles, shoulder armor, wrist guards, a blouse, and a belt.
That's not all. What made Liu Heicheng panic was that as Mrs. Huo used her Qi and stood on the horse with the armor on her face without changing her expression or breathing, the two companions actually took two more weapons from behind. A big iron mace that was even thicker than his own iron gun was hung on the horse!
He also added a satin coat to the horse.
Liu Heifu was numb. There was only one thought in his mind - no wonder she was a "well-known housekeeper."
This also made him not notice at all that as they set off again, he, the person who abandoned Jiadu River in order to hurry up, seemed to be the follower behind the female steward... But it really didn't matter.
In this way, a group of people went straight to Ding Shengying's place of residence in a majestic manner, alarming countless people along the way. When Ding Shengying heard the news, he came to the street early to greet him. When he saw the visitor at the alley, he did not call her aunt or anything like that. Instead, he bowed down and said, "I've seen Mr. Huo!"
Manager Huo reined in his horse and stopped. Instead of dismounting to help the opponent, he grabbed his mace. Liu Heifu was so smart. When he saw this, he immediately reined in his horse and hid aside, looking at him coldly.
Sure enough, Manager Huo came to the alley on the spot and said sternly: "General Ding, your mother asked me to ask you, since you are the commander and serious leader of the first battalion, Chief Zhang, Wang Wulang and others were trapped in Hebei, and Wei Long asked for help several times for the first time. Why don’t you save me?! Are you trying to be an unfaithful and unjust person?!”
Ding Shengying raised his head in astonishment and looked at the other party, but all he saw was an angry glare. He also knew that his mother and the manager in front of him were people who would never deceive him. This was his mother's original intention, but he was actually guilty and confused. He didn't dare to get up, so he just stayed on the ground and answered: "The manager and mother are behind. I don't know what's going on. We have always wanted to attack Dongdu. The key force in Hebei that besieged Chief Zhang and Brother Wang is There are tens of thousands of Dongdu troops, and as long as they attack Dongdu, it is equivalent to a rescue."
"Then you have been here for many days, why don't you attack Dongdu?" Manager Huo spoke slowly, but did not hesitate at all. "Isn't it just under the guise of rescue, just sitting back and watching the success or failure?"
"Don't hide anything from the manager." Ding Shengying had nothing to hide. "The day before yesterday, we tried to persuade the people ahead to surrender to the Dragon Prison Pass. Yesterday, we also tried to follow the river and jump over the Dragon Prison Pass... but it didn't work!"
Liu Heifu's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to go out and speak.
The clinker, then Manager Huo was not false at all. He came back to question on the spot: "Can Dongdu still fight again?!"
Ding Shengying opened his mouth silently.
"What happened to Huaixi's defeat?" Manager Huo continued to ask. "Jiyin already knows everything."
Ding Shengying had no choice but to answer on the ground: "It is said that Sima Zheng is leading the Xuzhou army from Huaixi to the east capital..."
"When do you expect to arrive in Dongdu?"
"In two or three days... the forwards should have entered Sheyuan Pass."
"Then you are still going to attack Dongdu?"
"..."
"Are you still fooling us? Do you really think we women don't understand anything?" Manager Huo sneered on his horse. "When the Eastern Qi Dynasty was defeated, your mother and I set out from Dengzhou and marched for hundreds of miles to meet the defeated army and look for your fathers... Later, just after your father died, the Western Wei Dynasty asked us to move. When we came here, the land was desolate and the people were poor and had no money. With no food and no men, your mother and I traveled to Huaishang and Nanyang to sell smuggled salt. Do we not know geography or military affairs? When Sima Zheng comes, will we still fight in Dongdu? Can we still fight? Chief Zhang of Hebei Province clearly understands But you are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers. You have twelve battalions of soldiers and horses. After the grain distribution, you recruited many more soldiers and countless military resources, but you just sit here motionless. What do you want the people of the world to think? Let the people in the country see you. What do you think? What do we women think? If there is any loophole in the future, who will be able to obey you?!"
This is the entrance to the alley where Ding Shengying lives. The city is full of people from the Qilong Gang Ji Yinxingtai. Countless people have already gathered here. Listening to Manager Huo's words, they all know that this is the Guanzhi that everyone has been talking about for a long time. It is also They couldn't help but whisper and point, and then started buzzing.
As for Ding Shengying himself, just listening to the words of the manager who represented his mother, he already felt that his mouth was dry and he was unable to resist anything. For a moment, he only managed to answer: "Manager, we also know that we have to move, but things must always be the same. Do it piece by piece. The sneak attack on Luokou just failed yesterday. It will take time to turn around. Li Longtou hasn’t summoned us yet to discuss the next move..."
"The military situation is on fire! As time goes by, no one knows what changes will occur!" Manager Huo responded sternly. "So if you lost yesterday, you should turn around immediately! If Li Longtou doesn't hold a meeting to vote, can't you leaders go find him?! How can you just talk nonsense to me here?!"
No matter how hard it was for Ding Shengying to bear it, he could only bow his head again: "What the manager said is absolutely true. I will go find Li Longtou to talk about it right now!"
"What's the point of talking alone?!" Manager Huo still didn't let the other person go.
"Then what does the manager mean?!" Ding Shengying suddenly woke up.
"Invite all the leaders from Jiyin and Dongjun below the leader Shan now!" Manager Huo raised his voice in response. "I am only an old woman, and I am not considered a member of the gang now. In addition, my nephew is also in Hebei and is suspected. I dare not go to Li Longtou to make a statement in person. But all the big shots like you who can raise your hands belong to me. A countryman should listen to the words of an old woman like me before talking to the leader! You go find someone now, I'll wait here for you!"
As he said that, he hit the horse directly, passed Ding Shengying, and headed into the alley.
Liu Heifu, who was hiding on one side, had been stunned for a long time. At this time, he woke up and looked around. However, he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity. Instead, he lowered his head and rode past Ding Shengying like a companion and chased in.
Ding Shengying had seen Liu Heifu, but he didn't notice it at all at this time. He just hurriedly called for someone in person.
Naturally, everyone in the city was in uproar at this move. Even Li Shu, who was a little worried, was naturally aware of it, and then he quickly summoned people to discuss it.
"Ding Shengying contacted local leaders in Henan?"
Xiaofang Fangyanshi was puzzled for a moment. "Shan Dalang didn't say anything. Why did he come forward? What did he want to do?"
"I don't know." Li Shu shook his head in reply. His eyes were a little distracted. He was obviously the convener, but his mood was obviously not high and his concentration was also a little distracted. "All I know is that an elder came to his family, scolded him in the street, and then went to find someone. I don't know the specific words... things were too hasty. It just happened. I guess I have just taught him a lesson."
"It doesn't matter what you scolded." The eldest brother, Yanlang, frowned. "In the current situation and timing, a military leader's connection is nothing more than sending troops... He wants to save Wang Wulang?"
"That should be the case." Li Shu nodded. "That should be the case. Zhang Xing kept Wang Wulang for this reason. He has his own means."
As a close confidant, Fang Yanlang naturally knew the other party's situation and knew that the other party was not confident in controlling the situation. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he came to comfort him: "Leader, I'm not trying to appease you. I really don't think Ding Shengying can disturb you." Bureau... He doesn't have this ability! He is a leader who leads troops and is a vassal of Wang Wulang. His family can use Wang Wulang to convince him, but what can he use to convince others? Can Shan Dalang listen to him? Zhai Kuan and the others And it’s always been at odds with the north, so it’s further away.”
"Not bad." Cui Silang also nodded. "This is the truth...Everything is done by benefit. Chief Zhang can gather people because he can benefit people. He himself said that if he wants to achieve great things and stabilize the world, he must benefit the world, so he must depose those who are good at benefiting the world... Then I dare to ask, no matter whether it is long-term benefit or short-term benefit, big benefit or small benefit, what can Ding Shengying do to benefit others? Who would do unprofitable things? "
Li Shu was silent for a moment, thinking carefully, and nodded slowly: "Yes, that's the truth! Ding Shengying's soft words will not benefit those people, and he will not be able to convince those people!"
"But Shan Dalang can." Fang Yanshi suddenly reminded. "Shan Dalang is the big leader and now he is also the head of the local leaders in Taichung. If he uses his kindness and power as an advantage, he can give him this advantage."
"Shan Dalang didn't move before, why should he be persuaded by Ding Shengying to participate in this matter now?" Fang Yanlang immediately refuted.
Fang Yanshi thought for a moment and had nothing to say.
"Shan Dalang..." Li Shu thought for a while and felt a little weak again. "Logically speaking, Shan Dalang and the one from the north had a personal grudge because of the Eastern Expedition that day. These powerful local leaders were dissatisfied with the several military reforms of the one from the north. This is also known to everyone, but for some reason, I Mr. Rizong felt so guilty that he did not consult with Shan Dalang first, and he did not dare to talk to these other leaders easily."
The other people were silent for a moment,
"It's not Mr. Li's fault, it's Sima Zheng who came too quickly." Cui Silang reminded in a low voice. "But it is precisely for this reason, coupled with Ding Shengying's changes today, that some things cannot be delayed... Li Gong, we already discussed it last time. No matter where Li Gong wants to go, we should make up our minds to do it."
Li Shu just nodded casually.
In this regard, Cui Silang didn't say much, but it was the Fang brothers. Although the two had always had different ideas, they were brothers of the same race after all. They had a very good relationship and similar positions. At this time, they had a tacit understanding and couldn't help but look at each other, and they understood each other. ...Without him, this is not the first time Li Shu has done this in the past few days.
The reason is that Zhang Xing was trapped and escaped from a huge window of opportunity for Li Shu. The so-called waiting for the opportunity, the situation has changed, in fact, it is now. However, under the shadow of Zhang Xing, Having existed for several years, he theoretically controlled the second-largest political and military resources of the Deposed Dragon Gang, but for a while he didn't know what to do.
Not without ideas.
He had already had the idea, the most intense, the most personal, the safest, the least resistance, all of them. He also thought about the order of attempts. However, as the situation changed intensified (such as the speed of Sima Zheng's march to Dongdu, the Despite the determination of the left-behind forces), he felt intimidated.
It was almost three years since the Battle of Lishan. He was just waiting for this opportunity to show off his fists. But when the opportunity came, he seemed to have forgotten how to stretch his fists and feet, or in other words, he suddenly didn't dare to stretch his fists and feet.
This is terrible.
It can only be said that fortunately there is a confidant like Fang Yanlang who is both qualified and powerful to push him away.
In the past few days, Fang Yanlang has actually been helping Li Shu operate. The main idea is that except for the leader of the army, those who can be trusted should come to Xingyang as much as possible, and those who cannot be trusted should not be allowed to come... The most obvious thing here is He used official duties to prevent Wang Zhuo, Zhang Jinshu, Zhang Liang, and Fan Liuchu from coming, but in turn invited Chai Xiaohe and Du Caigan, who were not from the industry.
As for the fact that Liu Heifu submitted a letter to Henan and received no response, no one can really blame him, because as the commander-in-chief of the station and the leader of the gang, Li Shu did have the power to flood the document or reject it.
Otherwise, Liu Heifu would not have found another way. He would have come here in such a hurry and would have thought about opening a gap from below.
At this time, it was as if Liu Heifu, as a low-level gangster, couldn't follow his thinking for a while, so he never expected that the gap would open so smoothly. Although Li Shu and others were also alert, they did not realize at all that they The ideas of these so-called people from aristocratic families who study and practice are completely inconsistent with the ideas of local powerful people.
"I've said what needs to be said. I don't expect you to be as loyal and loyal as Leader Liu. The old woman only has one sentence now. If you are not loyal and loyal, the Dragon Gang will be defeated in the future and there will be no one to join the world. I look up to you! People who sell smuggled salt don’t allow you to cross the street! Anyway, I don’t allow it! Not to mention that we are doing big things now?! You must learn from Leader Liu! If you have his loyalty, why should I, an old woman, be accepted by your family? Entrusted, I traveled dozens of miles to see you?!" Mr. Huo finished speaking in one breath. Sure enough, he didn't say anything more. He just glanced at the leaders in the courtyard, then Zhenzhen went straight into the house.
When he looked around, in Ding Shengying's small courtyard, in addition to Ding Shengying and Liu Heifu, there were also Shan Tonghai, Zhai Kuan, Huang Junhan and Liang Jiading who had been invited, including Chang Fu and Meng Xigui who had followed after hearing the news. Everyone was silent, and some even instinctively avoided.
As soon as the person left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long time, no one spoke, but everyone's eyes gradually focused on one of them.
"Now that Manager Huo has finished speaking, let me share my thoughts."
Shan Tonghai, as the only big leader and the only one of the three former Japanese leaders who stayed here, naturally knew that he could not escape, but when he came, he did not directly say whether he wanted to save him or not. Instead, he came from elsewhere. "First of all, I am dissatisfied with Chief Zhang. He was too disrespectful to us when he sent troops and horses back, and even used my clan uncle to show his authority. A man is born in this world, with clear grievances. I will never forget this knot in my life... But there is one thing he does extremely well, and I have to admit it, and that is he follows the rules!
"What do you mean, everything can be discussed. If you think it's good, just raise your hand. If you think it's not good, don't raise your hand. I won't let you talk or put you down just because you don't want to deal with him... I'm a big guy. This is true for the leader, and so is Li Longtou's dragon head and platform.
"Don't think that this thing is fake, it is really useful. This usefulness does not mean that it can come up with good countermeasures, but that it can unite everyone and not fight wantonly... To put it bluntly, there is no Without this rule, without Chief Zhang, the gang would have fought and broken up so many times! On the other hand, everyone else, from the rebels to the official army, could not work together as a team! So they were all defeated!
"When I say this, I don't want to argue or say who is good or bad, but I want to tell you that even now, you still have to follow the rules and be united. Only when you follow the rules can you be united, and only when you are united can you continue to follow the rules... The Deposed Dragon Gang must unite, Jiyin must unite, and we must unite. Even if Chief Zhang is not here, we must unite. Chief Zhang died today, and we must unite. No one can be the one to cause trouble. Whoever does it is me alone. Tonghai's life-and-death enemy! Because now that we are in today's situation, and we can still be strong even if we follow the rules, who can go back to the time when we were in disarray and thinking about merging with each other all day long?!
"Now, Leader Liu is coming to rescue the troops, and our leaders here are also here to raise their hands and say whether to save Hebei or not. No matter what anyone means, they are not allowed to care about it outside the yard. It just depends on everyone's opinion. If the majority of people say save, Then go to Li Longtou in anger, and no one is allowed to change his mind! If there are too many people who don’t want to save, we will keep our mouths shut and stay out of this matter!"
After Shan Dalang finished speaking, there was still silence in the small courtyard where Ding Shengying lived, but Shan Tonghai did not hesitate and pointed to one person: "Old Ding, you come first!"
Ding Shengying immediately raised his hand.
"You two, did I say something wrong just now?"
During a private vote in Ding Shengying Courtyard, the Fang brothers and Cui Silang also comforted Li Shu and came out. At this time, Cui Silang suddenly stopped and became serious.
"What?" Fang Yanlang was confused for a moment.
"Ding Shengying has no grace and power and cannot benefit these people, but the north has grace and power and can benefit these people!" Cui Silang said seriously. "This matter is not about Ding Shengying, it is about the north!"
"That's not right." Fang Yanshi, a young man, reacted first and immediately shook his head. "It's good to have favors from the north. Things are basically good from the north, but now the north can't promise any benefits, and it's useless to promise them... He is trapped, otherwise how could he be in the current situation?"
"That's wrong." Fang Yanlang also reacted at this time, but his expression changed drastically. "There is no need for Chief Zhang to promise anything. As long as these people know whether to save him or not, they will make their own decision whether their profits will be lost or increased."
"So is it a loss or gain?" Cui Silang suddenly smiled again. "Who will settle this account for them? Who will encourage them? Who will organize and suppress them? Without these, if you want the leaders who come from local tyrants to stop being half-hearted and put aside the immediate and long-term calculations...then they can really be called... Heroes! Are they?"
The Fang brothers woke up, then each laughed and relaxed again.
What do a group of local powerful people think?
"Okay... seven leaders, four of them agree, and the rest will not raise their hands." Shan Dalang saw that Zhai Kuan actually raised his hand in approval, and couldn't help but take a second look, and then looked at Liu Heisu. "Leader Liu, you will come with us to see Li Longtou later!"
Liu Heifu, who had remained silent since revealing his identity, or in other words, had not thought much about it since he arrived at Ding Shengying's house and met Mrs. Ding, had just woken up from a dream. All the words and thoughts before crossing the river were swallowed up at this moment. Go down...because he really didn't expect that the local leaders in Henan, and it was said that the leaders who were squeezed out by Chief Zhang, from Shan Dalang down, were all as loyal as him!
This...why worry about the big thing failing? !
