But who would have expected that since Zhang Dalongtou said he wanted to move firewood, he actually moved firewood, and he was moving firewood with the brigade, and he was busy with commanding along the way. He had no leisure time, just resting every ten miles, or in a certain camp or city at night.

As soon as they stopped in the village, everyone was so busy that Su Jingfang couldn't even rely on him, let alone ask him in detail.

Not only that, he brought more than a hundred Wu'an elites with him, and they all became firewood movers for no apparent reason. They were introduced into the huge firewood moving team early and disappeared.

What's more pitiful is that Su Jingfang is a young man who has been studying and cultivating since he was a child. He has never done such menial work, especially since his cultivation level is not high. He is just barely above the normal line. Even Dou Xiaoniang is far behind. Therefore, the first

Fortunately, one day, I still had the energy to go to Wang Xiongdan and ask him to "introduce Uncle Shi", but Wang Xiongdan didn't know whether it was because of his intention or because he just couldn't arrange it.

Starting from the second night, Xiao Su gradually began to suffer from back pain. Although she knew that she was not really tired, but just tired.

Although I got used to this way of exerting force, I still couldn't help but curse secretly in my heart.

Only when a sheep enters the tiger's mouth, there is no way to resist, so it can only endure.

In this way, for seven or eight days, even Wubao was stripped of three or four more, and grain, gold and silver were brought back in carts. Figures such as King Xiongtian, Chief Wei, and Shangshu Yan were almost recognized.

, my waist is almost healed, and my movement of moving firewood has just slowed down a bit.

Then, on the first day of the second half of the twelfth lunar month, Su Jingfang, who had followed Uncle Zhang to the actual control areas of four or five counties surrounding the rebels, arrived at the Ban County camp that everyone had longed for.

This is a huge military camp that can't be seen at a glance and is in turn far larger than the city itself.

After staying in the military camp for another two or three days, Su Jingfang learned a lot more. He even helped Dou Lide's battalion play a long game with Wang Xiongdan... I don't know if he played well in the game.

Uncle Zhang seemed to have finally thought of him and called him over.

Xiao Su was still thinking about returning to Wu'an for the New Year, so naturally he came here early and arrived at the huge barracks known as Xiaonanya, which was filled with leaders, cases, documents, and forms.

At this time, the sky was dark and it seemed to be snowing again.

Xiao Su saw from a distance that Zhang Xing was wearing the white-haired short cloak standard for big leaders, and he was quite powerful, but he was sitting alone on a bench outside the door and looking at the dark clouds in the sky. When he saw people coming, he just waved to show his sympathy.

sit.

Su Jingfang saluted seriously and then sat half-assed on the chair.

"How about it? I'm still used to it in the camp." Zhang Xing said, as if chatting with his nephews about daily life.

"Actually, Uncle, I'm very used to it and even like it a little bit." Su Jingfang also laughed. "The camp is big, but they are all strong soldiers. They act in an orderly manner and live a simple life. They work, drill, play games, and have food to eat.

There is a fire kang...what young man wouldn't like it? Even in Wu'an, there is no such a large military camp, and you have to worry about everything outside the camp."

"Well said." Zhang Xing nodded with satisfaction. "Especially when the world in Hebei is so difficult, just looking at this camp and this year, it is simply a rare pure land."

"That's exactly what I mean." Xiao Su said seriously. "It's just a pity that we can only see this camp and talk about this New Year."

"There is something in the words." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Is there anything you feel is wrong?"

"Uncle, to be honest, it is true." Su Jingfang seemed to have been holding it in his heart for a long time. "There are some things that you and your teacher handle differently. As a junior, I can't tell the difference..."

"There must be differences, but it's more because you don't like it because of your master's approach." Zhang Xing smiled half-heartedly. "Because your master and I have different concepts in all aspects, but your master only has one

In the land of the county, if I want to do it, I don’t have the space to do it.”

Su Jingfang was unable to argue and could only nod: "That's true."

"I actually probably know what the things are, because there are few things your teacher doesn't know about here, and he often makes fun of them in his letters." Zhang Xing looked at the sky and sighed. "For example, I like to hold meetings and emphasize organizational processes.

, your master laughed at me for being pretentious and having complicated rules; I like to set up specialized agencies to deal with and feedback on grassroots matters in large quantities, and your master laughed at me for having a small vision and only like trivial things. I claim to be cautious and so on, and he laughed at me for being decisive.

Sometimes I am indecisive and I call myself decisive, but he often laughs at me for being blind and unscrupulous..."

"There's also the matter of killing." Su Jingfang couldn't help but remind him.

"Yes...kill to death." Zhang Xing continued jokingly. "He said this method was a normal punishment used on our own army, but in the end, I used it to deal with the enemy's army who committed crimes against a big country... It is really a woman's kindness.

…I actually recognize this.”

Su Jingfang hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "Master is so... harsh to his uncle, but his uncle only praises him blindly. Does that mean that even his uncle admits that most of these things are due to him being right or not?

He said that in most things, he is more correct.

"No." Zhang Xingyi said. "There is no right or wrong between the two of us..." "That's because the purpose is different."

"On the contrary, there are very few people in this world who have similar goals to mine. Although Mr. Li Si is not closer to me than the others, he is still very rare."

"That…

…”

"It's just that the choices are different in specific matters," Zhang Xing sighed. "In other words, the same purpose, the same ambition, maybe your master is stronger, and the way to go is different."

If Xiao Su had some realization, he couldn't express it for a while.

"What he means is that in troubled times, use heavy code and use absolute power to sweep away the world as quickly as possible, even to unify the world, and then stay on top and slowly make other changes." Zhang Xing looked at the young man beside him,

He knows everything he knows. "And I always feel that some things should be cultivated from the beginning and straightened out as much as possible... Of course, this is also the limitation of our abilities. He is good at those things, and I am good at others.

Some, that’s why there is this disagreement.”

Su Jingfang thought for a while and immediately realized the key point. Then he looked around and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, why can't you two join forces?"

"Of course, that's what I was thinking about." Zhang Xing gave the answer without hesitation. "Not just him, I also want to work with all other heroes. Do you think those "crouching dragons" and the like are...

Am I pretending to flatter you? After some events that day, apart from my wife Bai Sanniang, he is the closest to me among these Yingjili whom I value particularly."

"But he still hasn't joined forces with his uncle." Su Jingfang hesitated for a moment and continued to ask. "Why do you have such a personal relationship?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Xing asked back.

"I...I don't know." Xiao Su laughed dryly, but immediately became serious. "It's just that I heard the teacher say it face to face. He said that you will definitely lose in Hebei."

"I know what he means, but the initiative to expand lies with me. As long as I can hold back, plan it slowly, and take every step, I will win without doubt." Zhang Xing did not hesitate. "However, from his perspective,

This is indeed an expression of his unwillingness to join in with me... "

Su Jingfang didn't say a word, which was obviously disapproval, because during the few days he was here, he clearly saw Zhang Xing waiting for opportunities to expand, taking the opportunity to seize Wubao, establish a stronghold, and continuously encroach on the surrounding territory.

"Besides this, do you think there are other reasons?" Zhang Xing asked in turn.

Su Jingfang was still silent, but this time the silence was different from just now.

"It's what you think." Zhang Xing smiled when he saw this. "Your master and I have already passed the point where we are different and do not agree with each other... His behavior today is actually slightly similar to Sanniang before.

, it’s just that you have burning ambition, excessive self-esteem, and don’t want to be inferior to me.”

Su Jingfang sighed slightly, but did not deny it, because his teacher seemed to be serious and affectionate, but occasionally his sharp edge was revealed.

"Moreover, your teacher has actually fallen behind in this area and can hardly hold on anymore." Zhang Xing continued. "Otherwise, why would I keep praising him and he keep mocking me? Since you are his choice.

My student should be a smart kid and should have known long ago that he was guilty of being afraid of me, and that I was pulling him down from above."

Su Jing's face turned pale.

"So," Zhang Xing finally looked at this young, outstanding direct disciple of Li Ding again, and his words were persuasive. "Today you are an official, and tomorrow you have to follow your master and become the backbone of our rebel army. Instead of going around in this circle, why not

Just stay here now to save yourself the trouble of having to move around in the future. Isn’t your father still there? It’s not burdensome for you to stay and move firewood by yourself, right?”

PS: I assembled a new chair, and when I sit down, I always feel pain on the right side of my abdomen...I don’t know if it was torn during assembly, or if it was caused by my right hand not being used to hanging in the air when facing the keyboard.
