"I feel ashamed to say that I have known Brother Wang for many years, but I have never asked him his name...please enlighten me." In front of Wanjun, in full view of everyone, Zhang Xing stepped over Wang Zhen and others and asked, attracting everyone's attention.

Wang Gonggong was silent for a moment, but returned with his hands: "It's all gone. The experience of Beiya in the past is nothing to mention before the current situation. Wang is thinking of changing his name, abandoning the past, and starting a new life. If you don't give up, please give me a try."

Help me come up with a name."

"Brother Wang wants to make a new comeback, of course it's okay, but with your heroic demeanor, why do you need others to give you a name?" Zhang Xing smiled more and more. "How about you name one yourself? I must remember it today."

"How about just naming each one, Fire Table Boiled?" Wang Gonggong didn't refuse and immediately thought of a name.

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment and turned back out of curiosity... It wasn't that he was uneducated, but that he didn't have this kind of knowledge. In addition, the level of the former Beiya official was naturally high. This just showed that someone's level of education was a bit low.

Of course, when the rear saw this, Chief Wei Xuanding immediately stepped forward, twirling his beard and laughing: "Zhuo Tong Zhuo, it means clearly. Your Majesty... Mr. Wang has understood the situation."

Zhang Xing was stunned, and the other leaders and officers with mixed backgrounds also seemed to be stunned.

On the contrary, Wang Gonggong, that is, Wang Zhuo himself, just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and took the initiative to explain: "Chief Wei thinks highly of me. I use cooking and water blanch... This experience is really like this."

Being stripped naked and put in a pot and boiled in water is so indistinguishable...it can be considered a warning."

Now that things have happened, everyone naturally knows the whole story of that day, and they can't help but burst into laughter. Many people even seem to be mocking, but for some reason, few people actually laugh.

"It's quite good." Zhang Xing reacted, nodded, and no longer dwelled on the matter. "The root of this war is the multi-pronged encirclement and suppression by the government and army. Our rebels, led by our Deposed Dragon Gang, rose up to resist. On the Eastern Front,

We, the Deposed Dragon Gang, resisted. Here on the southern front, Brother Wang's army was small and there was no need to fight to the death. However, he still led his troops to hold back Han Yingong's main force, and then he pretended to surrender and blew up Han Yingong's camp.

, so that the guy could not advance and disturbed the decisive battle on the eastern front, and now he can only wait and walk away. I think Brother Wang and his rebel army are the first to succeed on the southern front. Do you have any objections?"

When he said these words, he seemed to be complimenting Wang Zhuo, but later he turned around and consulted with the heroes and officers present.

Everyone present looked at each other, but no one refuted it.

Without him, the Meng rebel army collapsed before the war, and the Huaiyou Alliance did not take action after all. This so-called first victory on the southern front could only be chosen between Wang Zhuo and his internal servants, and Wang Zhen and his Mangdang Mountain bandits.

However, paper cannot cover the fire. Just as everyone knows that Wang Zhuo and his servants burst into flames after being boiled in water, so the news that Wang Zhen was once shaken by Sima Zheng on Mangdang Mountain has long been known.

It was passed down through certain channels on Mangdang Mountain... In this case, even if Mangdang Mountain made a great contribution in the end, Wang Zhen could make up for it, but should he be the first to do it?

Instead of fighting with him, should he pass over Wang Zhen, the real leader, to Zhou Xingfan and Chef Fan? Bai Yousi has captured Lu Changheng, but there is no need to compete for the credit here, right?

Therefore, no one can refute the theory of first merit.

"so."

Zhang Xing looked around, his eyes swept across all the key figures present, and continued speaking matter-of-factly. "Since everyone has no objections, and since we all belong to the rebel army, I think I can recommend Brother Wang to join the Deposed Dragon Gang and become a member of the Deposed Dragon Gang."

A big leader...what do you think?"

There was a sudden silence all around, but the army behind them was still coming towards Yucheng, which was controlled by friendly forces, in a steady stream. They were walking in a hurry, their clothes were well-dressed, and they had a heavy weight on their shoulders, just like a long forest.

Wang Zhuo stood there with a magnanimous expression, still speechless, but his mind quickly started spinning, and he quickly made up his mind - he wanted to join the Deposed Dragon Gang and become the big leader.

The reason is very simple.

After this battle, the surrounding situation will definitely become more intense in the future, and that night, when he and the chamberlain army made that shocking blow, they also lost too much... On the one hand, it was a loss of strength, and on the other hand, it was a complete loss.

Losing the possibility of making peace with the imperial court... In this case, he and his internal servants must be recognized by the Deposed Dragon Gang in order to continue to survive in the cracks between the Huaiyou Alliance, the Deposed Dragon Gang, and the imperial army.

There is nothing unacceptable about being completely thrown into the arms of the Deposed Dragon Gang, the biggest victor in this battle.

Of course there are many opponents, or potential dissatisfiers.

Li Shu, Shan Tonghai, Xiong Bonan, even Xu Shiying, Zhai Qian, Wang Zhen and others will feel a little uneasy. For everyone, no one of them is happy to have another big leader.

But how to say it?

Who can object at this time?

Would a man as smart as Li Shu object to Zhang Xing when he had just won such a big victory and had such high prestige? Xu Shiying was equally smart, would he object? Zhai Qian's own boss had not yet become a full-time official, would he object?

As for the leader Yanzu, the ancestral minister, he didn't even see him squeezing forward, okay? Wang Zhen didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Zhang Xing the whole time.

On the other hand, Shan Tonghai, after hesitating for a moment, couldn't help but step forward and wanted to speak.

But at this moment, Bai Yousi smiled while holding the sword.

This seemed to make the scene that originally wanted to make a noise quiet down again, and Shan Tonghai also remained silent.

However, after a while, someone still spoke seriously.

"Zhang Longtou, for such an important matter as the big boss, should we wait until the war is completely over before everyone can gather together and discuss it?" Purple Faced King Xiong Bonan took a step forward and asked seriously.

"It makes sense." Zhang Xing nodded, but then shook his head. "However, my suggestion at this time has definitely not broken the rules... Because Chief Wei, Li Longtou and I are all here, and among the big leaders, it is only Wang Wulang and

Cheng Dalang is not here, and the number of people is completely in line with the rules... More importantly, leader Wang Zhuo has made outstanding achievements. Now that he has seen it, why bother to wait, procrastinate, and not reward the merits? Wouldn't it cool the hearts of the heroes in the world to serve?

?”

He said this as if Wang Zhuo invited him to join.

But it still took effect, and Xiong Bonan immediately shut up.

At this time, Wei Xuanding, who had weighed the pros and cons, finally stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and raised half of his forearm: "If you follow the rules, then I, the chief, will speak first... I agree."

Zhang Xing immediately went to see Xiong Bonan, who had retreated.

Xiong Bonan thought for a moment and nodded: "Of course I agree."

As soon as these words came out, several smart people around him exhaled. Li Shu and Xu Shiying immediately spoke and expressed their agreement... Seeing this, Qingzhi was irresistible. Shan Tonghai also simply agreed, and Zu Chenyan finally showed up.

He expressed his stance, but just nodded in agreement.

In this way, the former Beiya Gonggong and today's Wang Zhuo officially became the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang after meeting Zhang Xing in the north of Yucheng, and according to the rules, he was assigned to the left wing.

So far, Zhang Dalongtou has not gone too far, but happily greeted everyone to enter the city.

Let's say that this is not the first time Zhang Xing has come to Yucheng, but this time he came in, more like a master than the last time... As soon as he entered, he first ordered Xu Shiying and Zhai Qian to take over the city defense, and then asked Xiong Bonan,

Zhang Jinshu rectified military discipline, and then asked Wei Xuanding and Yan Qing to assist Bai Yousi in verifying the first-level military merits obtained in previous battles... After giving the order, he simply found a small courtyard to live directly, and let the others rest.

There wasn't even a formal banquet.

During the whole process, Wang Zhen was scratching his head. He waited until this moment and saw that only Xiao Zhou chased after him. He finally did not dare to delay any longer and passed by.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you for some things." Zhang Xing turned around and saw Wang Zhen following in, but he didn't even sit down, so he just put his hands behind his hands and looked back at each other in the yard. "Not to mention that Sima Erlong didn't care about you at all.

You have a sense of loyalty, and you just say that you don’t care about your heart. After all, you led your troops here and blocked Yucheng and blocked Lu Changheng. You always have merits and no faults... The reason why I want to ignore you is because some things will happen once

If you discuss it in public, it won't stop others from taking offense on the spot, but it will embarrass you."

Wang Zhen woke up and felt relieved, but since he came in, he couldn't leave directly. He always felt that he should say something, so he handed over his hand and said: "It's just one thing, third brother, I have not lied about my loyalty to you!"

"

Zhang Xing nodded immediately: "I have never doubted our loyalty in the slightest. We made an appointment that day, and we will remember it to this day and will never forget it in the future."

Wang Zhen was completely speechless. He wanted to say something more, but he really didn't know what else to say. He could only raise his hands to Zhang Xing and Zhou Xingfan in turn, then turned and left.

Zhang Xing returned the gift with his hand.

Xiao Zhou just watched the other party leave coldly, and then turned back bitterly: "Third brother, even if you say this, are you going to let him do this?"

"If you were me, how would you deal with him?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment and asked in turn.

Xiao Zhou thought about it and felt at a loss... The problem is indeed like this. Wang Zhen has a problem. He has wavered in his fundamental position, but he has not taken any practical actions. Instead, he came to Yucheng to resist the enemy, and

After the decisive battle, he successfully pursued and caused casualties... so-called merit but no fault.

Even just talking about positions, Wang Zhen is half one of his own, and in the Deposed Dragon Gang, there are also Li Shu, uncles and nephews of the Fang family, and powerful factions like Shan Tonghai who are secretly opposed to each other in public and private affairs, and even some

Many of them are just making a living, and there are a large number of rich local households, landlords, and descendants who don't need to ask about their position.

In this case, it is okay to deal with Wang Zhen, but isn't it weakening his own power in disguise?

At this thought, Xiao Zhou felt powerless, but in the end he could not help but feel angry: "I can't even fight against the violent Wei Dynasty. I can't say that I am not as good as those under Li Shu."

"This makes sense, but have you ever thought about it, if Wang Zhen was not in Mangdang Mountain, but was in our Deposed Dragon Gang from the beginning, in Jiyin and Dongjun, would he still be uncertain?" Zhang Xing

Hearing this, he smiled instead. "On the other hand, if Li Shu's Kansai confidants had independently controlled an army in Mangdang Mountain, wouldn't they have wavered? In the final analysis, loyalty is real, and so does wavering.

Really, we just shouldn’t overestimate people and underestimate the environment. I would say that a small part of the problem lies with Wang Zhen, but most of it lies with Mangdang Mountain alone.”

"So... what are third brothers going to do?" Xiao Zhou was thoughtful and didn't have the time to ask.

"In addition to expelling Han Yingong, the most important thing I want to do when I go south this time is to bring Mangdang Mountain and the inner servant army under the direct control of the Deposed Dragon Gang, and then swallow up Chuqiu, Yucheng, Dangxian, and Xiayi...

..." Zhang Xing responded calmly. "The inner servant army is weak and has no independent ability to survive after this war. Just one sentence is enough, but in Mangdang Mountain, we need to pay equal attention to kindness and power, and use some means... I asked them to test it.

Military merit lies in this."

At this moment, Zhou Xingfan completely woke up.

That night, since Zhang Xing did not hold a banquet, the generals could only find their own place to stay in Yucheng, which had already emptied half of the city. Some fell into the army, and some entered the original county offices, official offices, and Cangcheng.

, some people found empty residential houses, and they were in groups of three or five, each having communication.

Wang Zhen did not violate Hutu this time. Although Zhang Xing had no intention of living there, he still took the initiative to give up the county government office and handed it over to Wei Xuanding, while he moved to Cangcheng.

That night, after he ate some food, he went directly to bed. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, Chef Fan suddenly came to look for him again.

"What's going on?"

After going out and doing everything casually, Chef Fan went directly to Wang Zhen's bedroom. The latter just frowned and stood up, crossing his legs on the couch to ask.

"The more I think about it, the more wrong I am." Chef Fan rubbed his belly and sat down on the bedside, and said seriously. "Master... tell me, since that person swallowed up the internal servants so easily, will he take a military merit test early tomorrow morning?
To be continued...
