Chapter 26: Vibrating Arms (9)(1/2)

Li Shu took the main force and went eastward. Zhang Xing took charge of the rear and designed a small pattern in which Xu Dalang controlled the waterway based on the Baima Weinan line to control the waterway to draw the Hebei rear road. Taoist Wei and Niu Da controlled Puyang and Chanyuan in turn to share and monitor Xu Dalang.

After this arrangement, Zhang Xing certainly wouldn't think that he could just sit down and enjoy farming, but he really didn't think that the trouble would be one after another, making people breathless.

In fact, the troubles in Jijun Chanyuan seemed to have never been stopped from the beginning.

But how to say it? Think about it carefully, it is natural that there is trouble in Jijun. If you rebel, you will naturally send troops to suppress it... Can you really expect the destiny of heaven to be done in one fell swoop? Didn’t you have long believed that sooner or later you will encounter big waves and the situation will be bad sooner or later? Then, on the other hand, what if you encounter hard bones and troubles now?

Could it be that the bones are hard, so I won’t chew them?

Of course, intelligence summary is definitely needed to make analysis and discussion.

“Are there paper?”

In the back hall of the county government office, Zhang Xing suddenly spoke and broke the silence.

Wei Xuanding didn't say a word, got up and walked into the side hall of the back hall, and personally took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Zhang Xingdao passed by, got up and took it, but put the pen, ink, ink, and inkstone aside, picked up only the paper, and then took out a sharpened charcoal pen from his back pocket, and began to write and draw on it.

"Who is the prefect of Ji County?"

Zhang Xing wrote down the name he had known for a long time and asked.

Xu Dalang and Taoist Wei wanted to speak together, but they both stopped talking. Then when Zhang Longtou had finished writing his name, Chief Wei opened his mouth:

"It was Wang Huaidu, who was born in Taiyuan Wang... Jindi is a place where east and west are tug-of-war, and the treatment is different from that in Hebei and the East. A large clan like Wang can still enter the house, let alone he is a student of Master Zhang."

"Master Zhang is also a disciple and an old official all over the world." Zhang Xing thought about it and immediately drew a line from Wang Huaidu, writing Master Zhang on it. As soon as he finished writing, he suddenly remembered something, but he didn't care much at the moment and could only press down and not express it.

"There are bullshits all over the world." Taoist Wei was speechless for a moment. "Master Zhang didn't leave Jin. Although there were many disciples, most of them were from Jin and Guanlong... For example, if you want to learn some knowledge, you will inevitably go to Cui and Lu. Only a small number of Hebei people from Hongshan and Heishan will go to Jin to study... After all, who can still be born with a elixir and a elixir that can fly everywhere? The elixir cannot fly for a long time and cannot catch up with a long journey. You have to worry about the water, soil and robbers. It would be nice to be able to go to the neighboring county to study."

"So that's it." Zhang Xing nodded and wanted to ask other questions.

Taoist Wei paused for a moment, but took the initiative to speak: "I actually have something to do with Wang Taishou... The three brothers of Wang Taishou are all under Master Zhang, among which Wang Huaidu is the worst, so he came out to be an official; my teacher, Huaitong, got the knowledge of Master Zhang, opened a library in Taiyuan to teach his children; there was also Wang Huaiji, who had a very high cultivation level but a strange temperament. After Ningdan, he was forced to become an official, but only became a Tailecheng. Two or three years later, he suddenly resigned from his post and disappeared from then on, and he didn't know where to travel."

"Fortunately, I traveled around." Xu Dalang suddenly sighed. "Otherwise, these elixirs are all on the ground, and we will support them even if we rebel... We have to be grateful to the court for this."

Many past events and people flashed through Zhang Xing's mind, he nodded seriously, and at the same time he became more determined to have the previous thought.

"It's true," Taoist Wei sighed. "But there is something else about Huai Jigong..."

"So, can Duke Wei speak with Prefect Wang?" Zhang Xing took back his extra thoughts, and while writing the names of the Wang brothers and Wei Xuanding, he drew the lines, he pulled the matter back.

"Zhang Sanye is thinking too much." Wei Xuanding answered seriously. "Master Zhang opened Nanpo, and the children of Nanpo must be polite to Zhang's family for seven points, but do you think he would care about the only three Wang brothers? Huaitong's public hall was also free to communicate with each other. Maybe he didn't remember that a poor boy named Wei went to take his course more than ten years ago... If you really want to talk about relationships, the two house leaders had a nephew. They were classmates at the same time, and they were of good knowledge and came from the direct lineage of the Fang family. They were very fond of Huaitong, so it might be more confident to ask him to come forward."

"What's the name?" Zhang Xing quickly wrote the names of the Fang brothers again, and continued to mark the lines.

"The name is similar to me. It should be Erlang Fang Yanrang's son, named Fang Xuanqiao." Wei Xuanding blurted out. "I agreed in advance that I recognize him, but he doesn't recognize me."

"Actually, it's not bad, there are no words like "There are no generations, generations, and communications." Zhang Xing was speechless. While continuing to copy, he looked at Xu Dalang again. "I will write down this in advance and wait for the meeting to end. I will immediately send a letter and ask Fang Yanlang to the east."

"I understand." Xu Dalang nodded and responded.

In just a moment, he seemed to wake up something, and then got up again, took Zhang Xing's abandoned pen and inkstone, pulled another piece of paper, and carefully recorded the matter.

"Mr. Wei said that Wang Huaidu is the worst?" Zhang Xing continued to ask. "Is it the worst among the three, or is it worse overall?"

"Everything." Wei Xuanding insisted. "This is a tyrant who is a timid and afraid of things, so he will perfunctorily become an official... I agreed to pick up Chanyuan that day, not only because you two leaders said that you could have a stronghold on the opposite side, but for me personally, there is also this reason... but unexpectedly, he became hard."

Of course, the waste in Wei Xuanding's mouth would be greatly reduced... He seemed to be like waste when he saw everyone, but at least it means that this person should not be particularly wise and decisive.

"Isn't it a military strategy?" Zhang Xing asked on his own initiative to be on the safe side.

"Naturally." Wei Xuanding responded immediately. "Don't say that Wang Huaidu, even if Duke Huaitu and Duke Huaiji, the three brothers would definitely not be able to match the military strategy... And if Duke Huaiji really passed by, I'm afraid Niu Da would have disappeared long ago."

"So there should be someone else in charge of military affairs?" Zhang Xing asked seriously. "Who is the commander of Ji County?"

"He is a powerful man from Liang County. He is called Meng Shangong. He actually has power in the Zhouqiao area of ​​Jiyin." Xu Dalang took the initiative to speak. "It's a character, but in my opinion, he has an opposite intention, and there is no reason to do it... I even think that when I see our career, I just want to go back to Liang County to rebel."

"Monsan Gong." Zhang Xing raised his hand and wrote down the name and continued to ask. "But if it weren't for the lieutenant, who would have any name to intervene directly in military affairs?"

"There is a great hero named Wang Dexin in Ji County, but he should only think about rebelling. There is no reason to help the prefect, right?" Xu Dalang also became a little anxious.

"Not to mention that these local tycoons only want to rebel, they didn't expect that the prefect Wang, who had always looked down on these people, would not listen to them..." Taoist Wei interrupted. "And the prefects had the final say in the imperial army in Ji County no matter what."

Zhang Xing suddenly moved his mind and vaguely caught something, but he did not point it out directly, but asked inexplicably while thinking: "I remember during the Sanzheng period, the court sent Zheng Shanye to Liyang, Jijun to take charge. Did he leave?"

"I've left long ago, I've been with Qu Tuda." Xu Dalang interjected. "Zhang Sanye, after you kill someone, before you arrive here, the two of them will lead their troops back to Xingyang, and may even go back to Dongdu..."

"Will it be back?" Zhang Xing asked. "After all, there is a Liyang warehouse in Liyang."

"Of course there is this possibility..." Xu Dalang sighed, and finally felt helpless. "But Master Zhang San, if you guess so, it would be better to send me a close crossing the river to investigate... At most, let's talk about what kind of help the King of Ji County has received, but we were rebelling before and didn't know anything."

"It is inevitable to send me a detailed investigation across the river and find acquaintances in the Ji County government to contact local tyrants, and it is inevitable to ask Fang Yanlang for contact channels. It is inevitable to even go downstream to ask about the situation and prepare to dispatch our water power... Because things are likely to be caused by many factors." Zhang Xing continued to draw charcoal pen on the notebook while analyzing seriously. "You can remember it too."

"Yes." Xu Dalang immediately wrote down these items.

Zhang Xing and the other party recorded his orders one by one, and then continued to say: "Actually, we are not making random guesses now, but we should try to collect known information and find out the key to the matter... And to be honest, from you that Wang Huaidu is just a mediocre official, but at the same time he is still the king of a county. When I talked about military and political affairs, I thought of an interesting place and then became suspicious..."

Xu Dalang and Taoist Wei sat in a solemn manner.

"I don't know much about military strategy. Why did our army 30,000 of us pretended to be here to rescue Niu Da, and the official army of Ji County wanted to withdraw inexplicably?" Zhang Xing asked seriously. "If we want to prepare for the navy, we don't need to withdraw the siege, right?"

"Of course I was scared by 30,000 people." Taoist Wei blurted out, but immediately he was a little uncertain and turned to Xu Dalang to prove. "Are you scared?"

"It must be scared by 30,000 people." Xu Dalang thought about it, and then suddenly realized. "But why was he scared? This was not the same as the previous firm siege and the subsequent decisive increase in troops, right? Besides, it was like a navy army... Zhang Longtou said nothing, it was not like a transformation that could be made by just our intelligence?"

"I actually think there should be only one possibility." Zhang Xing said calmly. "That is, the one who chose to withdraw the troops and the one who surrounded the troops again was not the same person... Moreover, according to Mr. Wei, the one who ordered the retreat must be the prefect of Wang. In other words..."

"In other words..." Wei Xuanding suddenly leaned forward in the seat. "Information is not in intelligence, and it is not easy to respond to it. Even if there is a person who is proficient in military strategy and firm will give orders from Ji County and is at the bottom, he may not be able to gain the trust of the prefect Wang; if he is at the top, he should be quite disgusted by the prefect Wang... The prefect Wang himself does not want to be tragic with us!"

"Is it a counter-espionage plan?" Xu Dalang also blurted out. "Dispatch these two people!"

"The counter-espionage plan is inaccurate." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "I probably have some guesses, but I still have to send a detailed investigation and then make a conclusion... But no matter what, I can talk to Prefect Wang. Isn't it good for you to be a good person?"

If these words were said in front of Xiong Bonan, they would definitely cause confusion. If they were to speak in public, the impact would be bad... They have made righteous decisions, how could they discuss business with the high officials of the court?

But the three people sitting here are actually talking about a practical one, with a flexible bottom line, so the two people nodded, just like chickens pecking at rice.

"Let's stop here today." Zhang Xing finally stood up. "Thank you for a hard work, and I will meet you in person when the detailed works come back... If there is any situation, you must come to me as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xu Shiying responded quickly, and said with a very correct attitude.

In this way, everyone was half excited and half helpless, and Zhang Xing naturally went to a courtyard north of Puyang City... It was the place where Qu Tuda, the general stationed here during the three battles before. It is said that it was a different property of the Bai family here. During the reward stage of the entire army after the success of his righteousness, he was possessed by Zhang Xing without any shame.

In fact, Puyang was the first big city to move into by three paupers when he first started to make the righteous move. Taoist Wei and Li Shu also took his own house openly. Otherwise, where did Taoist Wei get new clothes?

This seems to be an inevitable situation at present, because on the other hand, Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, and the Zhai brothers simply took some public and official property from the city to a unified way for something that is not distinguishable between public and private.

That is, Zhang Xing insisted on releasing grain to check the accounts, and the rewards were checked, barely keeping the official warehouse.

From this perspective, those civil officials who are only good at talking, including surrendering, seem to be more reliable than these heroes, but these heroes are the real hope for rebellion.

However, to be honest, Zhang Xing and Li Shu also hope to rebel, but even after they took the house, they performed much better than some leaders and some leaders... After they got the house, they both disbanded the maids and slaves and invited some confidant leaders and soldiers to move in.

For example, Zhang Xing's place allowed Jia Yue and the two hundred soldiers to occupy the vast majority of this mansion, leaving only a small backyard for himself.

But on this day, Zhang Xing, who went to the county government for a boring meeting, returned here and found that he should have arrived at noon. The two hundred soldiers who should be resting at this time were mostly carrying their luggage and tidying up the bed.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xing naturally became confused... There is still a master in Puyang City who can force his personal soldiers to move?

"It was Mrs. Dou, Miss Bai's family. Xu Dalang mentioned it when he was releasing the food." Jia Yue came up with him, and although his expression was still cold, he explained almost impatiently. "We are not here. She and her servants and maids occupied the second half of the entire courtyard. The things they had placed when they entered the city were thrown out, leaving them for our front yard... It is said that the Bai family is a relative, and we also say that the house belongs to the Bai family, so we dare not argue."

Zhang Xing was stunned for Zheng, woke up, then pointed his hand, and simply said: "Go in, release all the slaves, give them to the chief leader, let him go to give land and farm; leave two maids for her and place them together in my yard... The rest of the questions were clear, locals returned to their hometown to find their parents, not local, and were willing to undo slaves. I am a matchmaker and a rebel army as my wife, and I am not willing to be my wife to the soldiers, so I will take them to the side yard and ask the city defense army to send all the dirty clothes..."

Jia Yue was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "That's the Bai family girl!"

"So what if she is the queen?" Zhang Xing, who was incompetent because Chanyuan was surrounded, couldn't help but get angry.

"What if you resist?" Jia Yue nodded, took two steps, and then turned back.

"If you use the weapons, you will kill the kitchen knife." Zhang Xing said coldly. "If you don't use the weapons, the kitchen knife, you two hundred soldiers, no matter men or women, can't pull your hair out? She is a prisoner! Not a noble lady! And you are a thief!"

Jia Yue nodded again, took two more steps in, and then looked back: "We must strictly enforce military discipline and try not to infringe on the female papers, right?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhang Xing was speechless. "Why are you talking so much today?"

"Isn't this a great name for the Bai woman?" Jia Yue responded, nodded again, took two more steps in, and then turned back again.

"Do I have to do it myself?" Zhang Xing got angry first.

"No." Jia Yue asked seriously. "Just just said that the Bai family girl was placed in your courtyard...Are you afraid that you would know by the Bai family girl you like?"

President Zhang exhaled: "I didn't say it clearly. I'll go in with you now, move my luggage out, and find me a place to stay in the back yard."

Jia Yue nodded again.

Then, there was a storm.

It is not surprising that these slaves and maids were not willing to leave the Bai family’s daughter and Mrs. Dou. It is obvious that the slaves have become slaves, but they also know that being slaves in the Bai family is much more comfortable than being an ordinary good son of the East and the good wife.

But Zhang Xing was not used to them and announced on the spot that the man forced the farm to be dragged away, and the woman dragged him into the side yard to centralize the management, and prepared to open a serious clothes washing yard.

This also aroused the extreme anger of Mrs. Dou, a serious cousin of Bai Yousi.

It would be fine when the male servant was dragged away. When the maids cried and were about to be dragged away, Mrs. Dou, who was born in Bai, finally showed the style of a Bai woman.

"Zhang Xing! You are also an imperial official who once entered the house. You are a guest of honor in the Bai family. How can you do such a thief when you get to do such a sting?" Mrs. Dou shouted, and rushed out of the room and blocked her maid in front of her. She was holding a knife in her hand. There was even a very obvious glowing true energy on the knife, which aroused half a foot of sword light. I don't know how she got it. "This kind of behavior is even worse than the rich man Xu Dalang, the countryside!"

Let me say that Jia Yue knew that Zhang Xing had a good family like Bai, how could these soldiers not know? Seeing this scene, they were already afraid of the halo of the Bai girl, and they retreated repeatedly, not as quick as before to capture the male servants.

Not only that, here, after being forced back by the Bai woman, almost everyone turned back to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing had no choice but to explain, and he didn't want to spoil the other party... He still had to fight! He also wanted to save Chanyuan! Who has the time and the heart to meet you here?
To be continued...
