Chapter Sixty-One(2/3)
When he returned to the backyard and entered the corridor, before returning to the house, he bumped into Jia Yue again.
Moreover, because many backbones participated in the White Knight's assault, the two hundred personal guards had obvious attrition and losses. Zhang Xing had already arranged for the wounded and dead in Yucheng, and now came to Dang County, taking advantage of the previous
With such power, Zhang Dalongtou then ordered Jia Yue to take the opportunity to recruit some good players, either capable or honest.
This is another rush thing.
Just like that, the two of them talked for a while in the corridor. Knowing that things were not settled yet, they immediately let each other go and let the other person continue to work... However, seeing the other person leaving and looking at the other person's back, Zhang Xing felt a slight movement in his heart.
I remembered something, and then took the initiative to call out to the other party:
"Jia Yue."
Jia Yue turned around in surprise.
"Have you been with me for more than half a year?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"Yes...it will be a year in two or three months." Jia Yue answered immediately.
"Why are you following me?" Zhang Xingxing stepped forward and asked out of curiosity. "Have you never thought about returning to the North? Don't you have any ambitions?"
Jia Yue was obviously caught off guard, but after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said: "I don't know why I should follow you, but if I don't follow you, where will I go? I don't know anyone else, who will I be a thug for?
I'm not going to be a thug. At least I'll have less trouble with you. As for the Northland, it's not that I can't go back, but what's the use of going back? You still have an uncle, and having an uncle is the foundation of a family. I can only wander around when I go back.
Even if I am a hunter in the Demon Guard, I cannot be a deacon or a priest, and I am not used to being a deacon and a priest."
"What about ambition?" Zhang Xing emphasized.
"We talked about it several times on the boat." Jia Yue raised his head, his eyes a little subtle. "You really don't remember?"
"Maybe I can remember it later." Zhang Xing remained calm. "Just say it again."
"I think it was the Black Emperor who showed up and asked me to go south." Jia Yue answered seriously. "I think my destiny is in the south... At first I thought I could make a name for myself by going south, but only when I arrived in Hebei did I realize that the people here
Although the people are not as brave as Beihuang, and the cultivation atmosphere is not good, there are too many people, and there are always heroes among them, so I turned off the fire and just took one step at a time to make ends meet... but I happened to bump into you again.
Yes, I thought it was fate. Later, when you did so well, I felt it was fate even more."
Zhang Xing smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.
In fact, during the conversation with Bai Yousi that day, Zhang Xing almost complained about the main figures in the gang, but there were a few people who he never mentioned, and some who had truly forgotten about them, such as Niu Da, who was completely outstanding in terms of talent and quality.
He was overshadowed by Xu Shiying, just because of some things. He was Zhang Dalongtou's confidant, so he still had a unique ecological niche in the gang; there was also the fact that Bai Yousi had met him countless times and knew him very clearly.
There is no need to mention, such as Xiong Bonan; there are also some that he himself does not know how to evaluate, or that are difficult to evaluate, such as Jia Yue.
Of course, Jia Yue can be regarded as a trusted confidant, not to mention that the township party itself is a strong relationship these days, let alone the so-called old acquaintance. What is more important is that this person is not an unknown person, but a surrender captured on the battlefield.
People naturally join as captives.
But this person is obviously a little too bored.
It’s not that I didn’t speak. I even had some disputes with other people at the beginning, and I had a little desire to express myself. But the problem is that the further I go on, the more silent I become. However, my execution of things is still appropriate, which makes people feel a little guilty.
In particular, Zhang Xing knew very well that his "old acquaintance" was a bit unworthy of his name.
Now, the other party gave a religious reason that was hard to say, but at least it was a reason. Considering that the Beidi Demon Guards were famous for their theocratic color, Zhang Xing felt a little relieved.
It can only be said that things are being done in the lake and people are perfunctory, and there are few things that make Zhang Xing worry-free.
Only after a while with Bai Yousi, Zhang Xing, who had recovered a little bit, was now very sure that in this summer's rain, Zhang Xing was definitely not the only one who felt that the situation was difficult and that no one was worried.
Walk alone.
It must be difficult for the emperor's uncle in Dongdu. You don't have to think about it to know that it must be very difficult for him. It's so difficult that it's so difficult that it's difficult to pick your feet. The work of stopping plowing in spring is not over yet. Forming an army is like begging for help. The frontline troops just ran away.
Han Yingong bargained with him for something like this. How could he be regarded as one of the two poles of the empire, the royal grand master?
The building is about to collapse, and it is easy to find a single tree to hold it up.
The saint in Jiangdu must have felt cold in his heart. Why would he run away if he didn't feel cold?
Moreover, when he arrived in Jiangdu, where he thought he could enjoy the rest of his life in peace, he did not find peace... His wife was snatched away and then put back, the Prime Minister and the Governor were publicly executed, and all the servants, palace servants, and furniture and treasures were robbed.
, there are rebellions everywhere, taxes are not coming in, and the army is not listening, isn’t it difficult?
I guess I woke up from time to time during the night, and then I was puzzled, why did I end up like this? Didn't I just kill all my brothers, exile a bunch of nephews, behead a few nephews and sons-in-law, and slaughter them?
A few heroes? Oh, and by the way, tens of millions of people were ruined.
But what does that mean? Why can’t the whole world understand him, the Supreme Being on land? Why are they all rebelling?!
It is also difficult for the British Duke of Taiyuan. Isn't it difficult for his own daughter not to accept him? And is the Grand Master so easy to prove? If he can't prove it, should he win over those two people? But is the Grand Master so easy to win over? When is the opportunity?
Arrive?
What if Master Zhang from Nanpo and the old Taoist priest from Taibai Peak are determined to remain unchanged for twenty years, and Uncle Cao remains unchanged for twenty years? Do we still want to rebel? Do we have to sit back and watch the destiny pass, while the younger generation takes advantage of the opportunity to achieve something?
As for the remaining generals and generals from Youzhou, Hejian, Xuzhou, and Jiangdu, dozens of other rebels in the eastern border of Hebei, local officials from various places, officials from the eastern capital Jiangdu, and Jiangdong
The remnants of the Eight Great Families, the aristocratic families in Hebei and Jin, the gangs in Jianghuai, Wubao in Shu, the Chamber of Commerce in Jingxiang, the Wu Clan outside the Great Wall, the Trinity Orthodox Church, the True Fire Sect and the Demon Guard, the local lords in the North, the South
The tribes in Lingxi Mountain, as well as the common people all over the world, will definitely be in trouble.
No need to think about this.
Because this year is destined to be the year when the entire world, from economy to politics to social organization, will collapse... The so-called half collapse and half disintegration before, after about a year of brewing and interaction, finally led to the collapse of the entire building.
All-round disintegration is about to enter the climax of disintegration.
Under such circumstances, who in the world can still be happy?
Can you, Dong Yi, be happy? Let alone your internal strife, if the Wei Dynasty collapses, you will also have an economic crisis, okay?
then what should we do?
It depends on who can endure it, who can face the difficulties bravely and solve them.
"What did you say? Who rebelled?"
In the military stronghold on Liangshan Mountain, Zhang Xuguo, the commander-in-chief of the march to the east of the Wei Dynasty, who had once again gathered troops, was so stunned that he actually jumped up from his seat due to his impressive cultivation level.
This is not to blame for his gaffe. In fact, in the entire military camp lobby, the core of the seven or eight Qilu disciples who were still left all had similar reactions, and some people were simply stunned.
"Zuo Xiaoyou has rebelled." Fan Hu, the former captain of Qi County and the current Zhonglang General, paused and reported again seriously. "After you were promoted to Tongshou, the Juncheng appointed by the imperial court, Zuo Xiaoyou, rebelled... The county seat directly
It’s gone, many officials and soldiers’ family records have been captured, and my family’s stockade outside the city is gone. This is a letter sent by my sister Lihua herself on horseback.”
In the lobby of the military camp, Zhang Xuguo was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't understand: "But why did he rebel? How could he be persuaded by Li Shu?"
"I think he was planning to rebel before he took office, and then he happened to be transferred to our county, and then he got in touch with Li Shu and got together." Fan Hu said with a straight face, almost without any emotion.
Paraphrasing. "Because as soon as the attack was launched, there was another person named Zuo who came from Langya with tens of thousands of people to kill and responded with him... obviously he was well prepared."
Zhang Xuguo sighed and sat back. This answer seemed to make him somewhat relieved.
But immediately, his whole body became tense again, and he continued to ask: "Do you have any other information? Apart from taking over the county city, what is Zuo Xiaoyou's progress in the county?"
Fan Hu shook his head: "It's just some general information that my sister brought when she escaped, and I guessed it accordingly. The specific situation will have to wait a few days until the courier arrives."
Zhang Xuguo nodded, and there was some commotion around him.
"Don't let the people below know about this." Zhang Xuguo reacted and immediately ordered.
Many core members of the army immediately bowed their heads and suppressed the commotion... Isn't this person's prestige increasing day by day? He was actually able to handle the situation when his lair was directly taken away.
It's just that this kind of incident is really unbelievable. There was a fight in the front, but the heart blossomed directly in the back. Li Shu probably didn't expect such a good thing.
But things have to be said the other way around. If you have to be entangled, it seems that there is nothing to be entangled...Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, the eastern border, Hebei is the most serious, Jianghuai, Jiangdong is the second, Jingxiang, Jin is also in chaos, up and down
Where is the opposite?
Any county guard born in Jing'antai can abandon his official position and rebel. The surname Guan Longzhong did the opposite three years ago. Now there is a remnant on the opposite side... a county magistrate, said to be the powerful family of Pengcheng County, next to Langya
Over there, what does it matter if it’s reversed?
Just thinking about it, can the Wei Dynasty be saved? At least here in the East, is it worth protecting?
What’s the point of being a loyal minister and a filial son? Are you being treated like a monkey by that Li Shu?
In fact, among these people, some have already thought of... If not for Zhang Xuguo, half of the people here would have become traitors long ago. How could they be loyal ministers and filial sons with him?
He is just a young and ignorant man who just yells these kinds of things all day long. In Pinglu City thirty miles away, the Governor Zhang from Dongdu probably wouldn't even yell.
Even not counting these, nearly 30% of the so-called Qilu soldiers in the surrounding cities and military strongholds are now recruited rebels.
"There's nothing to say." Zhang Xuguo sat for a few more breaths, and after calming down his thoughts, he spoke again, but he gave a stern order. "Let Prefect Zhang come, and also let your sister Lihua come. First, report the situation, and then conduct reconnaissance.
Let the army pack their bags and prepare to return to the army to put down the rebellion..."
This is of course the intended meaning of the question.
In this way, Li Shu succeeded in frustrate him again, and Zhang Xuguo tightly blocked the news. He only said that the rebel Zuo clan was attacking from Langya County and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
However, this time, probably because he was successfully dispatched by Li Shu three times in a row, the morale of the army was low and complaints were everywhere.
This almost made Zhang Xuguo's scalp numb. With such a military spirit, if he went back and found out that the county and city were gone, he might not be able to fight!
That's not all.
Three days later, on the first day of May, as a moderate summer rain came as expected on the Jishui River, the troops came to Sucheng, the junction of Jibei, Lujun, and Dongping counties, and gathered and prepared for a while.
Riders and messengers also arrived in droves as expected, and were intercepted in advance by Zhang Xuguo, who was well prepared at various intersections in the east, south, and north.
To be continued...
