Li Ding threw down the golden whip and stood on the case. He wanted to speak, but he seemed a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing knew that his raid was successful, so he did not hesitate and stepped forward. With one foot on the edge of the confession, he reached out and grabbed the opponent's arm, directly captured the opponent, and then hugged and pushed him. Follow the other person to the outside of the main hall.
When he came to the corridor outside, Li Ding still seemed to be confused, but Zhang Xing ignored him and just dragged the people around him to look around and smiled proudly: "Everyone, the matter has been decided! And today it is decided, the world can't say it is settled. !”
With that said, Zhang Xing raised the hands they were holding.
In addition, Li Ding gathered almost the entire Wu'an Army here, and just now he arranged military affairs in the square. Therefore, almost all the five hundred or more soldiers in the army were here, and almost all of them followed him to the corridor. , saw Li Ding getting angry and losing his temper just now, and also saw Zhang Xing's urging and the current scene.
Naturally, he also knew what these words meant.
However, unlike before when Zhang Xing stopped Li Ding and almost everyone was relieved, now as these words were spoken, the reaction of the backbone of the Wu'an Army was different... Su Mu, Su Jingfang and his son led a wave of school lieutenants , Five Hundred Lords on one side, almost immediately bowed their heads to the two of them and saluted; while some of the officers led by Wang Chenxun were obviously hesitant and looked at Li Ding.
So, Zhang Xing also looked at Li Ding, who was caught by him.
Li Ding was silent for a moment and finally said: "You are always good at talking big words. How can you control the world like this?"
The people around him had no doubts after hearing this, and even Wang Chenxu and others immediately bowed and saluted to show their obedience.
"The mixed-blood tribe that was the predecessor of the Great Zhou Dynasty came south from the sea of suffering and worked hard to establish its system. It took many efforts and several generations to settle down in the three counties of northern Shanxi and changed its bloodline. But everyone knows that since then, there have been many changes in the dynasty. It's already decided." Zhang Xing still had the attitude of knowing everything, as if he had gone back to the time when he and Li Ding were talking about shit in Dongdu when they were Wanhuhou. "This time the two families merge into one, it's actually similar."
"How is it similar?" Li Ding seemed really confused. "Don't say anything about the two of us joining forces to be invincible. Today Xie Minghe has made it clear for you. No matter how strong I am in front of everyone, I am still powerless. Otherwise, how could I have ended up in this situation?"
"There is still something to say." Zhang Xing continued to hold his arm and blurted out the words in the corridor, but he was speaking to the generals of the Wu'an Army in the corridor. "For one thing, you, Li Silang, don't be too presumptuous. It's right for people to follow the herd, but didn't you just abandon your personal conformity today? You, a genius in the world, can rely on the crowd and concentrate on military affairs. You will be able to dominate the world; secondly, The most direct result of the merger of the two families is that the situation in Hebei has changed drastically. If we solve the problem so quickly, others such as Xue, Luo and others may be caught off guard. The situation in Hebei may be settled quickly. If Hebei is settled, it will naturally affect the situation in the world. ; Thirdly, Li Silang, have you ever thought about one thing... You are the first Guanlong noble species to bring an established force and territory to join our Deposed Dragon Gang! This alone is enough to tell the world that the Deposed Dragon Gang We are no longer a group in the East Territory back then, but we want to bring together the world’s heroes to make a world-wide event!”
Li Ding was still pretending to be nonchalant before, but his expression changed when he heard the last thing. After a long time, he said: "What about the first one? Isn't Sanniang Bai a human?"
Zhang Xingben wanted to refute, but when he spoke, he realized that the matter had been settled. This was not the time when he was talking loudly all day long by the Dongdu Luo River, so he ignored it and said seriously: "Don't say it. Now that this matter has been decided, it’s time to look at the current situation... Do you have any thoughts?"
Li Ding thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "It depends on the intelligence on the southern front. The situation is unclear now. It is better to follow the established strategy and let your people continue to the plains. However, you can go slightly south after crossing the Qingzhang River and get closer to Wuhan." The area around Yang County is the best..."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xingzhuangruo was confused.
"Why pretend not to know?" Li Ding sighed helplessly. "You may be a little bad at marching and forming, but your talent for catching fighters is three points better than Bai Hengqiu and I... I know the army but not the people, Bai Hengqiu knows the people but not the army, but you can do both. Taking care of both... is unparalleled in the world! The current situation is that since the Wu'an Army has surrendered to you and the Dongdu Army has collapsed, then on the local battlefield from here to Dahe, the Deposed Dragon Army in turn has the advantage. You If you don't give chase and pretend that you have won this battle, and take the opportunity to win over people's hearts and regain lost ground, you will definitely not be willing to do so."
"Li Silang is the one who knows me." Zhang Xing laughed, but immediately gave instructions to the people around him solemnly. "Everyone, today's events are gratifying, but we are still in a war, and we must take immediate measures. Li Longtou is by my side. I will tell you a few things. If he doesn't object, please do it... The first thing is to help our department...who is the Gaodu Lieutenant of Gaoshi Province?"
A general hiding behind Zhang Shiniang turned around and faced him: "Chief Zhang."
But he glanced at Li Ding, who was looking diagonally upward.
"Please go back to Xiangguo County. Don't bring too many people. Three thousand people are enough. Then there are two things that have to work hard for you. One is that we have wounded people in the mainland. They are Zhou Xingfan, the leader of Zhou and Jia Runshi. You must help me arrange the situation for those who are led by others; the other thing is that you should keep an eye on all aspects of Xiangguo's movements, and don't let the news leak out and attract the prying eyes of other families in Hebei." Zhang Xing gave serious instructions.
Gao Shi wanted to save the matter, but he didn't respond directly and went to see Li Ding.
Li Ding's eyes were not on this person at all, but when he heard the voice paused, he knew what was going on. Then he followed Zhang Xing's tug and sighed helplessly: "Follow Chief Zhang's wishes. You can't make people sick or hungry." In the mainland Ze."
Gao Shisheng was completely relieved, immediately handed over his orders, and then hurried away.
At this time, Zhang Xingfu looked around again.
Su Jingfang was swept away and immediately gave up.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing pointed directly at the person in front of him: "Su Duwei, please go there in person! Take the three thousand people of our army and some military supplies to catch up, meet the main force of our army, and then cross the river together to Wuyang. King Xiongtian If Xu Dalang and others know that I am coming, send a scout to contact them, and they will know what I mean."
Su Mu agreed quickly, but still took another look at Li Ding.
As soon as Su Mu left, Zhang Xing came to see Wang Chenxu and Su Jingfang again: "Deputy Commander Wang, you and Xiao Su stay here to appease the soldiers. You must not let the matter leak out. At the same time, if intelligence comes from the south, you must be the first to do so." Let Li Silang and I know the time, and Silang, Sisao, and I will sit here for a while."
This task, if Wang Chen looked at Li Ding in shock and waited for the latter to agree, would have seemed absurd, so he would have to give it up.
Turning around, seeing the entire Black Emperor Grand View come to life again, and looking at Xiao Su who was following behind him, the Deputy Captain Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Moreover, as Wang Chenzuo was a member of Wang Chenkuo's clan and was even the informant who defected to Bai Hengqiu, Wang Chenkuo's political leanings were beyond doubt.
However, Li Ding's previous warning to him and his own analysis clearly made this pillar of the Wu'an Army who was born in Hebei's powerful family realize that since he has become a part of the Li Ding-Wu'an Army group, and a pillar part, and After surviving for a long period of three or four years, the political mark on him has become inescapable.
Even from a utilitarian point of view, only by following Li Ding can we achieve better results.
This awareness, coupled with the impact of the scale and results of this battle, including Xie Minghe's clear analysis of the situation and sincere persuasion, have actually made this politically flexible local military leader realize that some things are almost inevitable.
However, even so, Zhang Xing was able to handle the Wu'an army with ease... from Li Ding himself to his colleagues below who had slightly different stances... so it was still easy for Deputy Commander Wang to do so. Feel a twinge of fear.
He was keenly aware that Li Ding was scary enough, and Zhang Xing was even scarier. He might have boarded a bigger, stronger, and more sticky pirate ship, and he might not be able to escape from it for the rest of his life.
But so what?
In troubled times, if I, a local tycoon, can get on the ship one after another, I am considered lucky. So who is Gao Shizhan or Zhuge Yang, who is not better than me in terms of academic foundation and cultivation, where are they now?
Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and said that after surrendering Li Ding, it was natural for the Wu'an Army to have ideological vacillations. Not to mention that it was just the random thoughts of the senior officers of the Wu'an Army, and it was normal for them to stage a mutiny and flee. Therefore, Zhang Xing and Li Ding didn't pay attention at all, but sat on the porch to avoid the noon sun under the gaze of the disfigured Black Emperor.
Zhang Shiniang did not stay. She went to the next door county town at Li Ding's signal. Once the people left, the remaining two people finally let go, and then started... chatting just like they were chatting in the small courtyard of Dongdu that day.
"You abandoned the wounded and still organized them so neatly. They must be organized reinforcements. Where did they come from?" Li Ding was the first to ask.
"Beidi and northern Shanxi." Zhang Xing made no secret. "There were five thousand riders in total, and then the troops were integrated, and the leather robes were torn for neatness."
"It's still wrong." Li Ding thought for a while and shook his head again. "The numbers are wrong. If you calculate it this way, including the wounded, the number is almost 10,000. With how intense that night was, how could there be so many left?"
"And Zhou Xingfan... Xiao Zhou, he was seriously injured, but he was lucky enough to meet Xu Dalang, and then they found Daluze together and joined us." Zhang Xing immediately added. "We arrived together as seven battalions."
Li Ding suddenly seemed to understand, but remained silent for a moment. After a while, he asked, "How is Xiao Zhou's injury?"
"I can only say that I can barely survive now." Zhang Xing responded quietly. "I didn't have time to think about it before, and I didn't want to think about it. Now I'm afraid that when this energy passes, he will end up like Li Qingchen... Qian Tang said that Li Qingchen is barely alive, but no matter how hard he is to improve his cultivation, his body will gradually become unable to support him. Coming here has affected the mind... It’s easier said than done when the body is disabled but the mind is strong?”
"It depends on his blood, but Xiao Zhou has always been stronger than Li Twelve Lang." That's all Li Ding could say.
After a while, Li Silang spoke again: "Did you know that Li Shu didn't cross the river?"
Zhang Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "So what? Someone has to guard Henan, not to mention he is not good at leading troops, so Shan Tonghai is enough."
"The truth is correct, but Li Shu did not stay in Henan." Li Ding shook his head slowly. "I heard that he went south directly with the remaining troops and several new battalions he raised in Henan."
Zhang Xing, who had been laughing all day, or rather since last night, finally fell silent. He didn't care at all who the "person" was, but after being silent for a long time His tone became bleak: "Trouble!"
"Are you in trouble too?" Li Ding, who had been stern for two days, laughed instead.
"How can there be no trouble?" Zhang Xing said helplessly, as if he was pouring out bitter words. "The most difficult and easiest thing in the world is the people's hearts. Before, Bai Hengqiu failed to hit a single blow and forced a siege. This was not only his military misjudgment, but more importantly, he was betting on the people's hearts. When we were trapped, the people outside would be deposed. The hearts and minds of people everywhere in the Dragon Gang are scattered... I could have spent more time, but after smelling the fighter plane, I gritted my teeth and stood out. I was also worried about the separation of people's hearts. Now the people of Hebei are dangerously close to each other, but it is still not safe, and the hearts of the people are still there. Fluctuation, otherwise why would I come to you in a hurry and pretend to be victorious to chase Bai Hengqiu? This is the case in Hebei. Not to mention that in Henan, there are many outsiders such as the Huaixi Army, the Neishi Army, and the Zhishi Army. It’s not that these people have ulterior motives, but at the very least they are prone to misjudge the situation and make arbitrary decisions, so who will be responsible then?”
At this time, Li Ding actually calmed down a little and accepted the fact that he was subjugated by the facts. After accepting it, he felt that he had been a little rude before today, and now he was not happy enough, so he comforted him: "No matter what, do your best first." The matter at hand is to at least send Bai Hengqiu out of Hebei... The people I sent out are probably coming back soon. Whether Bai Hengqiu succeeded in Shan Tonghai and the situation is the key... I have asked your troops to go there. Wuyang County is approaching, let's wait a little here so as not to delay things."
Zhang Xing nodded and couldn't help but ask: "The situation on the southern front is complicated and critical. Who did you send to report the letter? Why not let Xiao Su go?"
Li Ding looked slightly embarrassed: "The main reason is that Xiao Su has been in constant contact these days. Bai Hengqiu may have noticed it, and he is too tired, but he also has some selfish motives..."
"How to say?"
"The person I sent out is Fan Lihua."
"Fan Hu, Fan Bao's sister? The one I entrusted you to take in?"
"How...is she?"
"She is a genius in cultivation. She has made rapid progress. I don't know the specific situation, but maybe she has already condensed the elixir... maybe not... She was probably at this level of cultivation at this time last year. It was Wu Anjun who didn't stretch, which delayed her."
"It's true. The masters in the Deposed Dragon Gang have really lost all their power and have had a great impact on the people below...and then what?"
"Then, the upper limit of the number of troops should be... I don't know. I can only let her be a leader of five hundred people now. If she wants to lead a few thousand people as a battle general, it will always be no problem."
"You know what I'm asking." Zhang Xing was finally speechless.
"She is a little careless, and as one of the few female generals in the army, she is too conspicuous." Li Ding answered calmly. "As for the attitude towards the Deposed Dragon Gang, it's hard to say. Maybe they have turned a corner, maybe they haven't, especially when it comes to Dan Tonghai, who fought many battles with Fan Hu... I use her. I just thought that if the notice arrives, it will arrive, and it will be your destiny to depose the Dragon Gang; if she is discovered and delays it deliberately in frustration, then naturally I, Li Ding, harbors evil intentions towards you and wants you to suffer hidden losses."
At this point, Li Silang paused: "I just didn't expect that you would kill two carbines in a row."
Zhang Xing nodded and said nothing.
The spring light was bright at noon. The two had not seen each other for a long time. Now they had just ended their separation for several years and completed the reunion and merger. The enthusiasm should have been high, and everything from personal friendship to revolutionary relationship had been improved to a higher level, but there was no way. Several years of independent faction life have still created a natural gap between the two sides.
Of course, this gap is actually nothing. It can be easily broken based on the friendship between the two and the continuous interaction of forces over the years. However, isn't this the situation that is not yet stable? Aren’t there crises one after another?
At this time, no one knew what was going on on the south bank of the Qingzhang River. They didn’t know whether the next step would be an armed parade or a rescue battle that had to be launched quickly.
Therefore, the two of them stopped talking. They just sat on the corridor and stared at the Grand View Square, which was completely noisy because of the departure.
The broken Black Emperor stared at them in a daze from his seat.
In this way, about an hour later, the first action feedback finally came. The purple clouds made King Xiongtian look like a fairy. They floated directly from the outer wall of the Black Emperor Temple and landed in front of the main hall. There was obviously a demonstration. The meaning of manifesting the sage... Since the king knew that Zhang Xing was quite sure of his trip, how could he not pay attention to it? After Zhang Xingxing discussed it with Xu Dalang, he went back in person to prepare for the reception. He saw the first batch of messengers and sentries released from the Black Emperor Temple. After asking about the result, he came straight over. In addition, the situation was unclear. , naturally want to show strength, just in case.
However, when he arrived in front of the palace and saw the two sitting men, he knew that the situation was better than he thought. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and came to congratulate him. When he heard about Zhang Xing's pursuit plan, he also expressed his approval... If he didn't pursue it at this time, On the contrary, he appears to be timid... He is just worried that Shan Tonghai and others will be attacked, and hopes that Fan Lihua can deliver the news in time.
Then when he was about to ask Li Ding how to act in unison and ask for several leadership positions, Fan Lihua came back as expected.
"My subordinates did not see Dan Tonghai, nor did they continue south." Fan Lihua seemed to know Zhang Xing and also knew Xiong Bonan, so she came back to the people in the corridor with a blushing face and some embarrassment. "My subordinate met an acquaintance from the Deposed Dragon Gang. After handing her over, he turned back... It was Dou Xiaoniang. She was coming from the east to the southwest and bumped into her on the way."
Li Ding didn't have time to react, and he was not qualified to react as he had intended to let Fan Lihua do her own thing.
In fact, the one who reacted the most was Xiong Bonan, who was so excited that he stood up again just after sitting down: "So, Chief Shan can get proper news! If Dou Xiaoniang is not reliable, who can be reliable?! And this shows that Wei Gong and the others have not delayed anything at all. They should send out troops and keep in touch. This is the best situation... We don’t have to wait anymore and gather our troops to go south first."
Li Ding's face remained as usual, and Zhang Xing smiled in agreement... Because it was indeed the case. Although we could not directly get exact feedback on the relevant military situation in the south, there was no doubt that Dou Xiaoniang's beard cutting off as a messenger was the best pre-result.
But obviously, surprises are yet to come.
"If that's the case..." Li Ding hesitated and asked suddenly. "You only walked halfway and met someone. Why did you come back now? Shouldn't you have come back yesterday?"
Fan Lihua didn't dare to hide: "My subordinates were given military orders to send messages and collect information. When I met Dou Xiaoniang, I just sent messages, but it was not enough to collect information. After crossing the Qingzhang River, I transferred to Yecheng. Guard at the Zhuozhangshui Bridge in the north of Yecheng. There is good information there and it is our transportation hub to the south. If there is a war in the south, it will be easy to know and report back."
"Then you got information about the war in the south?" Li Ding was still confused.
"No, my subordinates met people at the bridge this morning. They saw that my subordinates were flashing their flags, so they asked me if they were members of Mr. Fu's subordinates. I said yes, and they said they were Mr. Fu's old friends in Dongdu. If I want to see the prince, I will bring them here." Fan Lihua still didn't hide anything.
"You went to investigate, and you still flashed your flag?" Even though he knew that the other party was not the material and that he was trying to catch the duck, Li Ding couldn't help but raise his voice. "You believe them when they say they are old friends?"
Fan Lihua was almost aggrieved, but she could only defend herself: "One of the two people was very old. He said that he was Fu Jun, your boss in Dongdu that day. He escaped from Dongdu and wanted to join Fu Jun. I think it's so... It is unlikely that he will cheat at his age, and the Lord of Second Lai must also want to know what happened in Dongdu, so he brought him here."
"Forget it, bring them here!" Zhang Xing suddenly interrupted the other party's words and turned to look at Li Ding. "Let's ask about the situation in Dongdu now, and then immediately join forces and go south!"
Li Ding could only nod casually: "Bring the person here."
Fan Lihua was relieved, but because of the appearance of Zhang Xing and Xiong Bonan and the talk of joining forces to go south, she was confused about the situation and could only retreat in a hurry with doubts.
Immediately, two familiar people were led by Fan Lihua to the front of the main hall.
Seeing these two people, Li Ding and Zhang Xing, who had originally been thinking about how to handle Fan Lihua, stood up in surprise, which made Xiong Bonan confused for a moment, but King Xiong Tian immediately realized what happened.
Without him, of the two people who came, he didn't remember the older one for a moment, but the others knew it was Zhang Shizhao, and the other Angzang man was surprisingly Qin Bao Qin Erlang, whom he had met several times.
It really feels like we never meet again in life.
When several people met, unexpectedly, Qin Bao was the only one who didn't look surprised... In fact, as soon as they came in, when the local soldiers came to lead the horses and sheath their weapons, Qin Bao suddenly heard a horse's cry, and then Then he saw the yellow gelding that greeted him actively, and he instantly realized the situation.
It's just that Qin Erlang is a restrained and refined person, so he didn't say anything.
Among the four, Li Ding was the one who had the most intense reaction at first. Li Silang, who claimed to be a genius in the world, finally showed his surprise and panic on his face. He looked at Qin Erlang and Zhang Shizhao, and then looked back at the man who was being Looking at the statue of the Black Emperor that he had beaten to pieces, looking at Zhang Xing, even though he had enough imagination about the development of the situation, this kind of drama where old friends from the past gathered together in one day, and it was a drama belonging to the same camp, was still It made him feel a bit absurd and frightened.
Yes, it was fear. Li Ding regretted whipping the Black Emperor. After all, it seemed that Zhang Xing's question to him was a response in itself, and the appearance of Qin Bao and Zhang Shizhao deepened the relationship. kind of response.
However, when there was a response in some sense, he became a little scared.
However, Li Ding was Li Ding after all. After thinking about it for a moment, he calmed down his expression and suppressed such unnecessary thoughts.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, was surprised at first, then smiled, appearing calm, but ended up laughing without stopping, and the more he laughed, the harder he laughed. In the end, he laughed uncontrollably, looking up to the sky, and the guards next to him were laughing. White.
And he was smiling and laughing, and there was actually real energy mixed in and stirring, causing the entire Black Emperor Grand View Square to be shocked.
Xiong Bonan noticed something strange and didn't understand it at first, but he soon realized it and couldn't help but laugh... How could he not know that Chief Zhang, who had been stuck at the level of condensing elixirs to becoming elixirs, finally gradually solidified his Dantian and became elixirs? Signs are up.
On the other side, Zhang Xing encountered the bumps in the realm of cultivation and laughed for a long time. He laughed so loudly that he gradually stopped. Then he stood on the corridor and proudly asked: "Mr. Zhang, Erlang, where are you coming from and where are you going?" Where to go?"
Qin Bao didn't speak until he could speak. He just bowed his hands and bowed.
Zhang Shizhao, on the other hand, calmly held up his hands and smiled: "Let the chief laugh. Li Longtou is insisting on going his own way in Henan and has to go to the south. Shan Dalang and several leaders led troops north to meet him. I went to Dongdu to inquire about Sima Zheng's true identity. On the way back, I met Qin Erlang, knowing his determination, came up with a crooked idea and prepared to make a deal with Li Silang, but he didn't expect that the chief and the king of heaven would get there first."
"Ashamed." Li Ding came back to his senses and bowed to Zhang Shizhao, finally regaining his energy. "It's surprising that Mr. Zhang worked so hard!"
"Where did Mr. Zhang come from?" Zhang Shizhao stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and smiled again. "I am naturally the senior guardian of the Dragon Gang, but because Wei Wei was still alive, I couldn't step forward for the sake of my family. Now that Wei Wei is about to die, I can always stand up and do something for the gang. Even working is for the gang. Why should Li Silang care about labor? Besides, if you really knew what method I was going to use to negotiate business with you, I'm afraid you would regret being so polite."
Li Ding calmed down, knowing that there were no good things to say, so he asked seriously: "How are Mr. Zhang going to discuss business with me?"
"On the way here, I only learned from Chief Fan's sister that you had gathered the entire Wu'an Army here, and Chief Zhang and the others were breaking through to the northwest, so I decided to come to see you. I wanted to take advantage of Sima. The identity of Erlang's messenger came close to you, and then Qin Erlang suddenly took action to hold you hostage, forcing the Wu'an Army to send 10,000 people to go north to pursue Chief Zhang and the others..." Zhang Shizhao blurted out without any hesitation.
Fan Lihua turned pale when she heard this. She never expected that the two people she brought with her actually had bad intentions... However, carefully recalling the words they said when they met, the old man didn't seem to have told a lie, and she felt a little... absurd.
On the other side, Zhang Xing, who had just finished laughing, was the first to react after hearing this. He couldn't help but slap the pillar and laugh: "What a great idea! Mr. Zhang is indeed the world's wise man!"
Both Li Ding and Xiong Bonan were a little puzzled. The former held back, but the latter couldn't help but ask: "Zhang... Protector Zhang, why don't you show courtesy first and then fight? Don't you think the chief has persuaded Mr. Li? Why do you have to shout and shout when you come up?" kill?"
In the end, the question of why the pursuit was pursued was not asked.
"King of Heaven, that's not what happened..." Zhang Shizhao shook his head after hearing this. "The previous battle tore up the situation in Hebei, and the forces of both sides were strained. Li Silang had gathered all his troops here, and he did not dare to move and could not move. No matter if he was allowed to go north or south, whether he was allowed to come from us or from Since Bai Hengqiu, he has never moved, so he must use strange moves... On the other hand, as long as he moves and gets close to us, we can easily pull him over with coercion, inducement, and generosity. I took it easy... But I didn’t expect that when Li Silang didn’t move, the chief moved in turn, and the effect was so good.”
Xiong Bonan suddenly realized, and Li Ding chatted.
"Li Silang has already made up his mind. Although our strategies are different, they all mean to give Li Ding a push." Zhang Xing explained to Li Ding from the bottom of his heart, but then asked immediately. "And now is not the time to lament these things... Zhang Gong, I want the Wu'an army to follow the example of Bai Hengqiu's departure from Hongshan that day, gather the entire Hebei army, and then pull up the Wuyang County soldiers and horses, and join forces to pursue southward. Taiyuan Army, what do you think?"
"It's feasible." Zhang Shizhao didn't even blink. "That's how it should be! I came from the south and saw clearly that the Dongdu Army was completely collapsed. Not only that, Cao Lin led the Dongdu Army out of the Dongdu before and then died, so that everyone in the Dongdu was panicked and panicked. They all wanted to find a reliable person to defend Dongdu, so it was easy for Sima Erlang to enter Dongdu, and all the key points were well grasped... Now it would be too late for Bai Hengqiu to go, and his only way was to transfer to the Shangdang in Hanoi. Leaving Hedong and entering Kansai, we must use the caution we used to withstand him before and slowly press him forward, so that we can take advantage of the situation and declare victory!"
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment. There was nothing wrong with this answer, but there was a message in it that made him have to respond quietly: "Cao Lin is dead?"
"Dead." Zhang Shizhao looked a little solemn. "Right before my eyes, the last trace of vitality disappeared from my body, and then it was just a pile of dead wood and dead flesh."
As soon as he said this, Li Ding was okay. After all, he had already received information and guesses from the coalition forces before, but he was completely sure at this time, but he didn't feel comfortable either.
However, Xiong Bonan, the most powerful and grandmaster of the Deposed Dragon Gang, felt a little emotional: "Grandmaster...how difficult is it to become a grandmaster? Starting from the normal meridian, the twelve main meridians come one by one, and then rely on talent and luck to reach the eight strange scriptures." The pulse is used to condense the elixir, and after condensing the elixir, it is necessary to harden the elixir field, and once it is consolidated, it is necessary to visualize. When you reach the master level, you still have to have your own thoughts and the earth's energy to rely on... The time, place, and people have arrived, It’s just a matter of chance that I became a great master, but I still have to die.”
"That's because if Da Wei is going to die, he will die too. If he dies, Da Wei will die even more." Zhang Shizhao responded coldly. "He himself has entrusted his family, life, aspirations and cultivation to the Wei Dynasty, but he can't prevent the Wei Dynasty from falling apart. Isn't it self-defeat? Heavenly King, now that you have become a master, you should know that a great master, a grand master, has preserved the Tao and established the state. Leaving the tower is naturally a huge help to the cause that we entrust it to, but for individuals, it is also a prison!"
Xiong Bonan nodded: "I just feel a little emotional, it's not that I don't understand the reason."
After Zhang Xing listened quietly, he came to ask Zhang Shizhao again: "Mr. Zhang, is it feasible to gather troops and horses to Wuyang-Wei County now?"
"I think it's okay!" Zhang Shizhao answered seriously.
"Then let's send troops too!" Zhang Xing looked at Li Ding. "Wu'an's army will go south to Yecheng first. When they get there, the message will be clearer, and then they will gather together..."
Li Ding thought for a while, nodded, and waved directly to the confused Fan Lihua.
Zhang Xingfu looked at Xiong Bonan again: "King of Heaven, although there is no need to worry about Xu Dalang, I still ask you to go back and forth a few times in person to inform the reinforcements from the north that we will gather multiple troops to hunt down a great master! Please be sure to Follow me! I also want to tell our brothers that I know everyone is tired, but this is the time to stretch. Being tired today can save many lives in the future! As for Mr. Zhang and I, we will follow Li Silang here. Join forces quickly."
Xiong Bonan no longer hesitated, looked at Qin Bao who couldn't bow, and walked away.
Zhang Xing then walked towards Qin Bao, who had been ignoring him. The latter bowed and remained silent the whole time.
When he came to the front, Zhang Xing just helped him with one hand, and his words were as simple as possible: "Erlang, you came just in time. Jia Runshi is taking care of the wounded behind. You are my main rider in this battle! Open the way for me!"
Qin Bao did not change his hand and immediately raised his head: "Qin Er is not talented, how dare he not serve his third brother?"
At three o'clock that night, 12,000 Wu'an troops arrived at Zhuozhang River, raided Yecheng, one of the five capitals, and entered the city without a single blow. At the same time, the vanguard of the Deposed Dragon Army, who had only rested for two or three hours on the old battlefield, began to cross To clear the Zhang River, they did not go east, but went south to the hinterland of Wuyang County.
The next day, after receiving relevant information, the Wu'an Army abandoned Yecheng, headed east, crossed the Qingzhang River at the border of Wuyang County, and rejoined the breakout troops between Wei County and Fanshui. In the afternoon, the troops arrived one after another. , the main force of the Dragon Army's breakout, reinforcements from the north, and Su Mu's troops accompanying him for support arrived, totaling about 14,000 to 5,000, and the combined forces of both sides totaled 27,000.
Let's say that at this point, the battlefield was already in chaos. Zhang Xing still didn't know where the large corps was, where Shan Tonghai, Liu Heifu and others were, let alone where the main force of the Taiyuan Army was, let alone the broken into pieces. The Dongdu Army of the land has arrived.
Thinking about it, coming to the Taiyuan Army will only make you more confused.
It's ridiculous to say that at this time, there is really one force that knows the entire battlefield situation, but it is actually the local force in Wuyang County, that is, Yuan Baocun and his subordinates.
"Yuan Gong, do you want to contact Wei Gong?" In the Guixiang City of Wuyang County, in the backyard of the county house, in front of a large table spread out, the thief Cao of this county carefully touched the huge Wuyang County map on the table and broke it. There was silence.
"Fart!" Yuan Baocun said in anger. "Every troop is in motion, and the situation is fleeting. By the time we see Wei Xuanding, it will be too late!"
The thief Cao immediately fell silent.
But soon, as Yuan Baocun stared at the map and the simple markings on the map for a few seconds, the warlord who had always stood firm in Hebei still gasped and spoke slowly: "This is also an opportunity... this At that time, only our family knows the entire situation! We must make an immediate decision, inform the intelligence, and participate in the battle, so that we can have miraculous effects and achieve miraculous achievements!"
"Then Mr. Yuan, should we follow the Zhang family or the Bai family?" Another person couldn't hold himself back.
Yuan Baocun turned his head, looked at the other party, and still scolded severely: "What Zhang family, Bai family? We are for the righteousness of the world, for the peace of Hebei, and for the peace and tranquility of the people of Wuyang County!"
Everyone became more and more panicked.
After Yuan Baocun breathed out, he finally gave the order: "Hu Cao went to Liu Heifu in Shen County and asked him to intercept and kill Duan Wei who was gathering defeat in Shalu! Soldier Cao Xuntangyi's Deposed Dragon Corps, the traitor Cao went They were looking for Wei Xuanding in Yuancheng, Zhang Xing and Xiong Bonan in Wei County, and Deputy Captain An personally went to look for Dan Tonghai in Chanyuan and told them that Bai Hengqiu's main force had transferred from Neihuang to Bowang yesterday. His subordinate Sun Shunde is watching the city... They overestimate their capabilities and actually want to surround and kill the leader!"
Everyone's breath was thick, and everyone bowed in awe.
Yuan Baocun nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Don't touch Dou Li of Tianshan for the time being... Cang Cao went to treat him to a drink! After dark, kill this little thief!"
At the end of the sentence, he actually gritted his teeth.
