"I dare not say this is false." Li Shu twitched his beard and sneered.

"Now, we have basically captured both Dongjun and Jiyin. Next, we will not just fight in a small way, but we will tie up the two counties, gather tens of thousands of people, and move forward in a big way. At this time,

, Li Gong, can we still be perfunctory about matters involving the left and right wing?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

"What kind of perfunctory attitude?" Li Shu finally asked.

"In the eyes of outsiders, and even many of us inside, we feel that the coexistence of our left and right wings is a huge hidden danger to whether the Deposed Dragon Gang can succeed..." At this point, Zhang Xing's tone accelerated and he rushed to the front.

The other party continued, "I still hold the same view as when we discussed it with Wei Gong before the incident that day. The matter of raising justice is very difficult, and we don't know when the big wave will come... But at this point, it really shouldn't happen anymore.

reserve."

"What do you mean, you want to abolish the left and right wings and appoint a gang leader?" Li Shu, on the other hand, reacted very quickly and suddenly raised his voice.

"Is Mr. Li willing to give in to the wise?" Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing.

"I don't want to, but I really can't!" Li Shu immediately ignored him and Kang responded. "Zhang Sanlang, you are indeed very talented, but the scholars in Hebei cannot convince you, and many local officials who have been demoted cannot convince you either.

, even these big leaders in the upper reaches of Jishui River cannot convince you all. You say this at this time, seemingly for the sake of the overall situation, but in fact you are destroying your own foundation!"

These words are very serious. In fact, from the time Zhang Xing first said that the left and right wings could not be maintained, Shan Dalang's expression had changed. When Li Shu said that the left and right wings could not be maintained, Xiong Bonan was even more shocked.

Almost jumping up, Shang Huaizhi also felt cold in his heart, thinking that he was already thinking about who to help if he encountered a fire incident.

There was only one Wang Wulang who was unexpectedly magnanimous and calm.

"How could I not know what Mr. Li said?" At this moment, Zhang Xing sighed suddenly, but turned around and pointed at Wang Shuyong beside him. "To be honest with Mr. Li, Wulang and I hit it off as soon as we met. We became close friends when we came here last night.

He sat down and fell asleep, talking about many things... After thinking about it, we all felt that the current situation on the left and right wings had certainly made the leaders within them think about it, and was afraid it would have a bad impact on the Eastern Expedition.

On the other hand, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the left and right wings between you and me are originally from different walks of life and are incompatible with each other, but it is you and I who came together to lead several big leaders..."

"So?" Li Shu seemed to realize something, and his tone became much gentler.

"So Mr. Li." Zhang Xing stepped forward and stretched out his hands. "I want to make an honest gentleman's appointment with you in front of several big leaders..."

Li Shu thought of the conversation he had with Du Caigan last night, and he came to his senses. Without hesitation, he held the other man's hands on the spot and said, "To be honest with Mr. Zhang, I also have this intention."

"That's good." Zhang Xing's words were extremely serious. "What I mean is very simple. If the Dragon Gang can't connect the river to the east, then the left and right wings will be established fairly. If you choose one left, you will be promoted to the right.

From the boss to the leader, both sides should be fair and aggressive. In addition, the center wing should also be divided into three to one, left and right, with an open and substantial number. The key is to make a clear agreement to determine the word balance. Only in this way, the king is on the left

, only when I am on the right can I be selfless and cooperate seamlessly."

At this point, Zhang Xing hesitated and took the initiative to say: "If Mr. Li feels that Mr. Wei has a bad temper, it is not impossible to discuss it, but he can only replace it with King Xiongtian... Moreover, I think that in the end, we must respect the system.

,Don’t shake the chief easily.”

"Wei Gong does not need to be replaced. I still have some tolerance, but I have to add one more thing." Li Shu responded seriously. "That is not only what happens when the Dragon Gang is successful in the overall situation, but also if one party encounters a disadvantage in the war.

, when times are bad and things are going to overturn, the other party should also abide by the gentleman's agreement, give full support, and maintain balance... In this way, great things can be achieved."

"I know that Mr. Li is someone who can be entrusted to my trust... I will agree to everything." President Zhang breathed out. "The road to dethroning the Dragon Gang is still long. We have to support the dethroning of the Dragon step by step, one on the left and the other on the right."

Help go down!"

"I also agree." Li Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "But even so, we are all walking. I am walking on thin ice, and every step is frightening. Zhang Sanlang is as hard as iron, and every step is like a lotus."

"It's as hard as iron on the outside, but it's as panic on the inside as sand." Zhang Xing simply smiled bitterly.

"A man only cares about actions, not thoughts." Li Shu nodded and finally let go. "Let's see how hard the two of us work."

Zhang Xing also let go of his hand, but the two of them went to see the other people in the hall together. What could the other people do? These two people talked so fast that they hardly left any room for interference with others, and even the leaders outside

Everyone was listening. Xiong Bonan had always been a man who talked about unity. Wang Shuyong was one of the masterminds who had known for a long time. The newcomer Shang Huaizhi only felt relieved, but he quickly followed Xiong Bonan's leadership and bowed together as a sign of submission.

Even Shan Dalang routinely recognized the situation, put his thoughts aside, and bowed down without hesitation.

In the courtyard outside the hall, the setting sun was shining slantingly. After listening to this, more than a dozen civil and military leaders were stunned. Many of them were relieved. Some even shallow-thinking people really thought that the two people inside were going to live and die together, so they couldn't hold back.

He was excited to speak, but was overtaken by someone.

"Everyone."

Fang Yanlang, who had just been jerked off, suddenly turned his head and lowered his voice to warn. "The two leaders are honest in the hall and spread it to the people in the courtyard. Although we know some things, we should not make a noise and break the tacit understanding in the hall... In my opinion

, you might as well say nothing, work with peace of mind, and wait for Dongxiang."

The rest of the leaders, who understood it naturally, but who didn't understand or simply felt that Fang Yanlang was pretending, unexpectedly expressed their approval and just said yes.

The next day, the news came. Xu Dalang acted incompetent and paralyzed at first, and then suddenly attacked Pancheng at night, easily captured Fengqiu, beheaded Fengqiu's order, and the entire Dongjun County was successful in righteousness.

In another two days, Wang Wulang and Shan Dalang captured the four counties of Zhouqiao, Shanfu, Chengwu, and Jinxiang respectively. Two of the county magistrates among the four counties surrendered, and the two county magistrates abandoned the city together.

So far, the Deposed Dragon Gang has officially taken over the two counties of Jiyin and Dongjun and 19 counties, plus the unexpected acquisition of Leize and Chanyuan, a total of 21 counties.

The two counties upstream of Jishui have fallen into the hands of the rebels.

On October 22, after a series of urgent, and even inevitable, oversight matters, new troops from each county began to be mobilized. The so-called small counties left 500 and sent out 1,000, and the big counties left 1,000 and sent out 2,000.

, such as the four famous counties of Baima, Puyang, Jiyin, and Waihuang, which honestly produce three thousand.

Simple and crude, but effective.

Therefore, after gathering the three separate armies of Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, and Xu Dalang who had returned to the army, and sorting them according to large and small counties, a total of 31,000 people were counted at the Jishui River!

Of course, nearly 8,000 to 9,000 of them are from the original county soldiers, and each leader leads a private army. The more than 20,000 people are from the 17 or 18 counties that can be recruited, and they are newly recruited soldiers. It is really a mixed bag of good and bad, and a mob.

Already.

Immediately afterwards, the troops rested here for another three days and carried out a rough, rough and intense reorganization, and were finally divided into eight groups.

Among them, the two leaders Zhang Xing and Li Shu each took one, each with more than 3,000 people. Xiongbo Nanyuan's thousand people were expanded to 3,000 people. The remaining three, Xu, Shan, and Wang, each had more than 5,000 people. The newly promoted right-wing leader

The leader Shang Huaizhi led 3,000 people, and Zhai Qian, who was promoted to the leader of the left wing due to the merits of the white horse, also led 3,000 people.

From this division, it is obvious that the two leading figures still cannot suppress the three tycoons from the upper reaches of Jishui who have their own troops. Even the newly promoted Shang Huaizhi and Zhai Qian have no choice but to respect their old affiliations.

Even the leaders of their respective subordinates to the three great men are still their subordinates and cannot be touched at all.

However, even in this situation, isn't it the result of Zhang Xing and Li Shu's half-open, half-secret, half-frank, and half-performed political commitment and their appearance of unity, which once again successfully suppressed several local tycoons?

Although each of the three thousand soldiers was theoretically subordinate to the leaders of each county, they finally had a military force under direct command.

It seems that it is not accurate to say this, because Zhang Xing originally had 200 people... but it seems that he borrowed them from Niuda.

Thirty thousand people, after being reorganized, immediately crossed the Jishui River in a mighty manner and headed north. At the same time, they arranged for the counties to store grain and set up logistics. This was an open signal to cross the river to Puyang to rescue the soldiers who were still in Puyang.

Niuda who resisted the enemy of Jijun.

However, on October 27, the weather still had no intention of getting colder. Before the army reached Puyang, the soldiers and horses of Ji County on the other side of the river retreated.

Obviously, they got relevant information.

However, the officers and soldiers of Ji County probably didn't know that before that, 20,000 people turned eastward on the way out of Lishan, and then went straight to Yuncheng, the capital of Dongping County... There is a county there,

In addition, there is a Ju Yeze who hides countless defeated soldiers and civilians.

In other words, those who were about to arrive in Puyang were actually Zhang Xing and Xu Dalang with three or four leaders, and there were only eight thousand accompanying soldiers and horses.

But soon, the self-righteous Zhang Xing and Xu Dalang were slapped in the face.

Because they had just arrived in Puyang, the officers and soldiers of Jijun came back and increased their troops. They also led the navy to block the river channel, only to surround Chanyuan with water.

"There must be a stable intelligence route in Puyang City." Xu Dalang's face turned ugly. "And it's an expert in charge, and there may even be a traitor!"

"The former sentence is inevitable, but the latter sentence is not necessarily true. It may be that there are heroes in Jijun's army who can make quick judgments based on intelligence." Zhang Xingyi said.

"You can't just doubt me, can you?" Taoist Wei suddenly spoke, staring at Zhang Xing and asking. "Why don't you just replace me? Why don't King Fuxiong go up? It won't delay the overall situation anyway!"

Xu Shiying was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

However, Zhang Xing frowned and immediately asked: "Wei Gong, who learned these words from you?"

Taoist Wei smiled, sat down, picked up the tea cup, drank the tea in a sip, and then answered calmly: "It was King Xiongtian who flew here in person the day before yesterday and told me face to face that he did not have that intention to reassure me. He also said that everyone

With sincere unity, let’s see the Deposed Dragon Gang unite and rise to the top.”

Zhang Xing also laughed.

The lobby of Puyang County Government Office was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.

But immediately, Zhang Xing became serious: "Wei Gong, isn't it good to unite sincerely?"

Taoist Wei then wanted to speak.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing's tone was urgent and he pressed directly over: "Is there anyone in the gang who can't help you? I wear new clothes every day, but do you still remember the momentum of talking with your toes outside Jiyang City that day?"

Wei Xuanding was speechless for a moment.

"Wei Gong, the Niu leader is hanging alone in Hebei, surrounded by everyone. Even if he is angry, can it happen at this time?" Xu Dalang suddenly said.

Taoist Wei could only calm down and respond.

However, the three of them sat there for a while, thinking about it, but there was nothing they could do.
