Bohai County is across the river, but there is only a thin layer on the south side of the river. For example, the county seat of Putai County is on the opposite bank, but more than ten miles outside the city is the border between Dengzhou and Qizhou. In this obviously artificial administrative triangle

District, in fact, in an area that is closely connected economically, culturally, and geographically, there is a wealthy family similar to the families of Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang, and Wang Wulang, whose surname is Cheng.

The resume of the Cheng family is basically the same, except that Cheng Dalang is a little older, so his great-grandfather and grandfather were just independent military leaders in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and his father became a feudal leader.

Official...and this also forced Cheng Dalang himself to take on the dual roles of a good man and an evil boy.

Belongs to a little five generations older.

In fact, because of Qin Bao, Zhang Xing had often heard of this man's name. It was said that this man had supported Qin Er in Dengzhou in his early years. It was even because of this man that Qin Er and Xu Dalang met.

And in Wang Wuzhuangzi, I heard about it many times.

However, Cheng Dalang, who was older than Wang Wulang, Xu Dalang, and Qin Bao, came to the fore very late this time.

The reason is self-explanatory. His family is in Dengzhou, and the Dengzhou camp is at the other end of Dengzhou. No matter how the three expeditions against Dongyi collapsed without a fight, no matter how people's hearts dispersed, the saint's chariot and hundreds of thousands of troops

Right in front of you? How dare you act like a fool?

Aren't you afraid of being trampled to death by someone?

That is to say, Shengjia hurriedly crossed the Huaihe River, and then he quickly invested in his family's resources and used the local cavalry tradition to form a team of several hundred cavalry to "protect the hometown."

The cavalry came and went like a breeze, coupled with the scale and proper management of hundreds of cavalry, it quickly demonstrated Cheng Dalang's influence and personal ability.

Probably because of this, just a few days after the cavalry was established, Cheng Dalang suddenly received a bunch of inexplicable invitations.

It's really a bunch... There are letters from Xu Dalang, Wang Wulang, and Shan Dalang from the upper reaches of Jishui River. Although they were sent separately, they all invited him to join some kind of deposed dragon gang and sit as a big leader... And they all

To point it out, the two leaders who call the shots in the gang are Li Shu and Zhang Xing, two big shots with world-wide expectations. Whether they want to maintain a stable position or do big things, this strangely named gang is inevitable.

.

At the same time, there are some subtle differences in the attitudes of the three letters.

Xu Dalang is very sincere, and he vaguely wants to win over Cheng Dalang to join him, increase the voice of the leaders in the gang, and counter the feeling of the two leaders; although Shan Dalang also has this intention, he is obviously condescending and seems to be afraid of him, Cheng Dalang

He grabbed the position; while Wang Wulang only boasted about the ability of Mr. Zhang, saying that great things would surely come true.

Boss Cheng was noncommittal about this matter. His home was in Dengzhou. How could he not know who Mr. Zhang was and what he had done? As for Li Shuhe's rebellion, there is no need to say more. Other than that,

, he can also probably realize that the three heroes in the upper reaches of Jishui can jointly believe that the Deposed Dragon Gang, which has two of the most famous rebels joining it, may indeed have something to say... However, it is still too far apart at the moment.

, so I have nothing to think about for the time being.

In addition, Wang Hou, the Zhishi Lang of Yimeng Mountain in the south, Gao Shitong of Hebei Province, and Sun Xunzhi also invited him to join the team. But towards these people, Boss Cheng's attitude was reversed... He really looked down on these people, especially

They gained power for a moment, gathered tens of thousands of young men, and then became arrogant, but they didn't know that they were destined to be suppressed by the imperial court first... But the problem is that these people are right in front of you, and you have to pay attention to it, just in case they really gather 100,000 or 200,000 troops

The sweep comes, do you vote or not?

Therefore, you need to be as perfunctory as possible.

In addition, people from the government were also calling him.

People in Dengzhou call him, people in Qizhou call him, the county government calls him, and the county town calls him... This is very confusing.

After all, Boss Cheng was described as rough, but he was very careful and understood the development of the situation. This is not to say that the Wei Dynasty was not worth betting on. It was not impossible for the officers and soldiers to easily sweep away these bandits when they came back, but at that time, these local officials

It's hard to say whether they are the same people as before.

At the same time, the public sentiment of the local people and the public opinion of heroes in the world must also be considered. Everyone is against Wei, but you, Cheng Dalang, are the imperial eagle?

It can only be said that the county government and the surrounding counties south of the river have to deal with it without losing their dignity.

"What is this?"

The rainy season and sultry heat have passed. In the early autumn, the sky is clear and crisp. After a small group of bandits were wiped out, Cheng Dalang returned to his manor and spent half a day to properly handle the general affairs of his 500 cavalry team and arrange them neatly... How to reward and punish,

How to comfort the casualties, how to replenish war horses and ordnance, are all troublesome... But after finally returning to the back hall, before I had time to take a rest, there was a letter from the old steward of the manor.

Frankly speaking, Cheng Dalang, who has a white face but a dark heart and a long beard, has become numb to these letters.

"It's a letter sent from Hebei. It's said to be an official letter from Bohai County. But for some reason, the person who sent the letter has both an official appearance and a heroic appearance..." Lao Duguan, who was holding the letter, looked like a hero.

I am also used to the scene.

"Of course they are from Jing'an Taiwan." Cheng Dalang sighed, took the letter directly, and then tore it open on the spot. "It's hard to tell here in the East. I'm afraid the Hebei side will have to listen to Dongdu's greetings more in the future. Jing'an

The gangsters on stage are trembling locally..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Dalang directly pushed the letter aside and stopped reading it.

The old man knows the importance and doesn't ask too many questions.

Cheng Dalang himself, on the other hand, had been working much harder outside. At this time, in front of his confidants, he finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Why is it that Bohai County is looking for me? It's just an envoy from Dushui. The envoy from Dushui asked me to guard the warehouse.

Then he just promised me some weapons, but actually asked me to go and kill Zhang Jinscale with him? Zhang Jinscale has 40 to 50 thousand people, and he is also a master with a clear ren meridian. Who knows what it will be like now that he has become a force? I

How can he destroy a family with a few hundred men and five or six thousand men? Does he think I am a famous general in the history books, or does he regard himself as a marshal in the history books? I don’t know where this nerd comes from!"

Lao Duguan can only apologize.

Cheng Dalang finished cursing angrily, but still didn't understand his hatred, and rolled up Duanjiang Zhenqi again. With just a wave of his hand, he raised the letter on the case in the air, and then cut it into two halves. Then he collapsed in his seat and picked up a

Wan Wencha sneered:

"I made it clear today that even if I jump naked from the podium, I won't be able to fight Zhang Jinsheng with Li Silang!"

The old man could only nod.

However, as the cut letter slowly fell to the ground, a clip actually flew out of it. Cheng Dalang could ignore it, but Lao Du could not, so he leaned over to pick it up and handed it to him, becoming increasingly impatient.

's owner.

Cheng Dalang was holding the tea, squinting his eyes, only looking at the hands of his confidant Lao Duguan. However, after just one look, he was completely stunned, and his posture of serving the tea did not change.

After a long while, the person slowly put down the tea, carefully took the clip, and then read it twice, and then asked: "Did this letter fall out?"

"Yes." Lao Duguan said.

"Do you know what is written?" Cheng Dalang continued to ask.

Lao Duguan just shook his head.

"This is the letter from Zhang Sanlang, who killed Mr. Nanya and scared the emperor away. He asked me to join him in the rebellion. He asked me to join his deposed dragon gang... but it's actually in this letter?" Cheng Dalang seemed a little confused.

But he was a little cautious. "How many people delivered the letter? How many days have they been here? Where are they now?"

"A man has been here for four or five days, and he is still waiting for a reply in Zhuangzi." The old governor hurriedly responded. "It is provided according to the usual practice."

"Ten taels of silver, a dou of rice a day...make a fire to cook at home?" Cheng Dalang also panicked.

"Yes..." The old governor became more and more nervous. "But it was a mistake?"

"I don't blame you if I miss something." Cheng Dalang stood up immediately and held the clip. "Take me to see this person quickly."

Lao Duguan could only follow in a hurry.

"Forget it, don't come." Cheng Dalang walked out of the back hall and suddenly turned back to warn him.

Lao Duguan understood and stopped immediately...but after a while, he still followed.

Cheng Dalang just shook his head helplessly.

But only a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Dalang, who was famous in the East, saw the messenger, who was eating on the wall...white rice, topped with vegetables and bacon...it looked quite delicious.

Then he was peeping at his own cavalry.

Cheng Dalang watched below for a while and became a little hesitant. This did not mean that he was afraid of society, but that the other party was like this. It was probably the same person, but he had wronged himself to this extent, making a fire by himself in his own village.

After four or five days of blending, he seemed to be looking for something to do with him...and he, Cheng Dalang, was unwilling to get entangled with the other party too early and get involved in right and wrong.

Besides, is Zhang Jinscale that easy to beat?

What good does it do to you?

But now that things have happened, it would seem ridiculous to try to cover it up... So, hesitation returned to hesitation. After a moment, Cheng Dalang still raised his hands towards the person on the wall from behind:

"Cheng Zhili has seen distinguished guests. In the countryside, the family members were careless and did not entertain well, making the distinguished guests laugh."

The man on the wall, that is, Zhang Xing, turned around and smiled after hearing this, holding a wooden bowl: "I thought your name was Cheng Zhijie... It turns out that your name is Cheng Zhili. If you are called Zhili, why are you so ignorant?"

"It's none of the master's business." The old steward hurriedly came forward and bowed to apologize. "It's because I don't recognize the distinguished guest and I have lost my etiquette... I can't apologize to the distinguished guest."

"What do you care about if you don't provide good hospitality?" Zhang Xing took a mouthful of rice and just laughed. "I'm not a member of a noble family. I don't know how difficult farming is... A bucket of rice per person per day is good, and it can even out some.

Exchange some soy and vinegar meat and vegetables for the local farmer... You are very considerate to both parties. I just said that he is irrational, not that he does not know etiquette and complains that he has been treated harshly, but that he does not know the truth and clearly understands that the old capital

Even though I’m doing the right thing, I know that some people in the world have bad tempers and don’t know who I am, but I let you, a young man, come out and take advantage of me for no reason. How can I be like Cheng Dalang, who is famous in the East for his all-around good looks?"

"Your distinguished guest has misunderstood." The old man hurriedly explained again. "Just now, my eldest son specifically asked me not to come with him. I was afraid that I would miss his official business, so I was willing to come over to apologize... But I underestimated your noble guest's magnanimity.

.”

Cheng Dalang didn't know how to interrupt.

However, he also saw that people who are kind will not come, and those who come will be unkind.

"That's alright." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "For the sake of the old governor, I'll let this matter go... But please come back, the old governor. I have a beheading deal with your eldest son.

"

That person knew that he was about to talk about business next, so he could only leave in a hurry.
To be continued...
