Hebei?”

Everyone came to see Li Ding, and Li Ding's face turned green and red.

This was the most embarrassing part for him. He didn't expect to annex Zhaojun so soon, but Zhaojun's reaction was too fierce. He was worried that if he missed this opportunity, he would not be able to take it again. As a result, after successive annexations, he

Too much political credibility has been lost.

If it is lost, it is lost, but the problem is that at the moment he still hopes to stabilize the situation and avoid direct war with Youzhou, Hejian, and the gang, so he has to try his best to engage in diplomacy, which is very embarrassing.

Several other people were also serious and wanted to speak.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing suddenly returned to the story of Jiangnan: "The situation in Jiangnan is not only a sign that the Wei Dynasty will perish, but it is also a lucky thing for the Wei Dynasty... because at this time, the saint took advantage of the situation to return north.

The last chance... If the Imperial Army does not resist, it is actually waiting for this saint to hit the wall."

Everyone was startled, and then looked at each other with different expressions, but then turned to look at Feng Wuyi, who had been silent before.

Old Man Feng felt dark for a moment and just shook his head: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. The more this happens, the less likely the saint will come back..."

"That's what I think too."

"It's the same as what I thought, but I still have to thank Feng Gong for this reassurance, otherwise he really wants to come back and make a trip from Huaixi. Do you think I should stop him or not?" Zhang Xing also sat down.

There he spread his arms to confront him. "Let him stay in Jiangdu for one or two more years. It is best if the imperial army wants to rebel but is afraid of a few masters. It will continue to consume him until one side is rotten."

At this point, Zhang Xing looked at Xue Changxiong: "Mr. Xue, is your eldest son in Jiangdu? Do you want to write a letter or send a son to pick him up? I promise not to stop you... You must know that the current situation

If you stay in Jiangdu, you may not be able to be a loyal minister, or if you are caught up in the situation, you may become a rebellious minister."

Xue Changxiong glanced at Zhang Xing, then slowly shook his head: "Everyone has his own destiny. He can choose his own loyal ministers and disloyal ministers. Besides, he may not be able to become a filial son when he comes to Hebei."

Several people fell silent.

Manager Xue was silent for a moment, but then continued: "I sometimes wonder, what would I have done if the Hebei manager ordered by the sage was someone else in Gushui that day? Is it really possible to escape? I'm afraid it's also hard work to maintain.

.In troubled times, everyone should stand upright with the straight sword in his hand. Don't be half-hearted and look forward and backward."

The rest of the people remained silent.

"I never thought that I didn't kill Zhang Han in Gushui that day. I would have killed him a hundred times." Zhang Xing shook his head slowly, then looked at Li Li. "Mr. Li, I heard that your father's health is

Not good? You are known as a filial son, but do you have any plans to send him back to your hometown in Kansai to recuperate?"

Li Li shook his head slowly: "My father is strong and strong, and there is no doubt that his cultivation can be improved."

Luo Shu curled his lips slightly at the side, but he made no secret of it, and everyone would understand.

Zhang Xing nodded and went to look at Feng Wuyi again: "Mr. Feng, people outside say that your nephew has become a thief, and you are helping me, a rebel, to gather the princes of Hebei today. I understand that you are already preparing to become a thief.

What do you think?"

"I have a clear conscience." Feng Wuyi regained his composure and answered seriously. "If you stay in Jiangdu, you will die. Just be a loyal minister, but since you came back early by accident, you should try your best to serve the place... You

What you said in the letter is quite right. The whole north is facing a drought this year. Once the big weapons are used, things were fine before the year, but when there is a drought after the year, something big will happen. That’s why I’m here to help you.”

"Yes, whoever takes the initiative to start the war will be a thief in the world and a thief in Hebei." Zhang Xing finally looked at Li Ding again. "I really didn't expect that some people who are so stupid are not as good as Feng Gong.

How can a retired person be considered a hero?"

The others, after experiencing many interruptions, finally regained their spirits and looked at Li Ding together.

Li Ding narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth to speak, but then shut up.

"The reason why we hold a small meeting is to speak freely." Zhang Xing urged. "Today, there are only four or five people in the lakeside pavilion. I, a rebel, can sit here and chat with all the loyal ministers and filial sons. You just annexed two

As a colleague, what can’t you say?”

"Why do you need to listen to me first?" Li Ding sighed. "You, Zhang Sanlang, are known as the chief of Jianghe. If you say one sentence, all the twenty counties will listen in awe. You actually convened this meeting. What do you want?

Why not say it first?"

"What I can control is only the land of ten counties, and then Huaixi can interfere with the overall situation, that's all... This is also a delay in the attack on Xuzhou." Zhang Xingyi said, and looked at Luo Shu. "On the contrary, You

The state is actually a land of twenty counties..."

"Chief Zhang, don't be ridiculous. Our twenty counties combined can cover half of the Eastern Territory?" Luo Shu quickly came to laugh. "Chief Zhang, let's talk first. Let's listen."

"Well, don't tell me." Zhang Xing sighed and finally spoke. "First, Youzhou must control itself. Let's be reasonable. Even if Li Ding didn't go to capture Zhao County this time, you Youzhou

Taking over Zhao County, Mr. Xue couldn't bear it. How could he let Youzhou occupy his upper reaches, or even occupy it on both sides? How you fight for power internally is your own business, but you can't throw it outside easily. If there is a real fight,

Whose fault is it? I just asked Mr. Li if he was not in good health. I was not mocking or threatening, but I was saying that if Mr. Li is really not good and Youzhou suddenly falls into chaos and no one can control it, then everyone should not stay here anymore.

After seeing the view of the lake, we just dispersed and stayed at our houses until the sky was dark."

"It should be fine before the end of the year." Luo Shu suddenly said. "Mr. Li is a little unwell, but it should be fine before the end of the year. We are willing to try our best to restrain him, but Zhaojun's affairs must be explained to us. Five thousand soldiers and horses, three

Thousands of cavalry, one lieutenant general...how do you say that?"

Li Li glanced at Luo Shu, suddenly stood up, and walked away with a flourish of his sleeves.

Everyone watched this person leave without saying much, and then Xue Changxiong also spoke bluntly: "I cannot allow the upper reaches to fall into the hands of a threatening person. If it cannot be resolved here, I will definitely send troops in the future.

"

Zhang Xing raised his forehead and looked at Li Ding: "This is the second point I want to say. Mr. Li Fu, you must withdraw from Zhao County! You must also return Youzhou's troops, horses and weapons!"

Li Ding narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately asked: "It's easy for me to withdraw from Zhao County. Who can stabilize Zhao County? Is it your help? Or should we let Hejian soldiers and Youzhou soldiers come?"

"Youzhou Army, no one can go!"

"Liu, you are greedy and young. Now that you have obtained the land of three counties, you can raise an army for a year or two, and I can't afford to unite a family from the south or the north... I have already prepared to send troops to repel you in the autumn."

Li Ding took a long breath: "Where are you going to push me back, Mr. Xue?"

"Quit Zhao County, Xiangguo County, and return to Wu'an." Xue Changxiong did not hesitate at all. "As I said, you can't get upstream of me."

"If this is the case, neither our gang nor Youzhou can tolerate it." Zhang Xing responded simply. "I understand what Mr. Xue means. Hejian is located in the center of Hebei. Now there are powerful forces on both sides of the north and south. It is already very uncomfortable. If

It is absolutely unbearable for another force that can directly threaten you to appear in the west... But has Mr. Xue ever thought about it? Once you take Xiangguo and Zhaojun, and cross Hebei, we can't bear it either."

"That's right." Li Ding said seriously. "Xue Gong, you can't occupy the upper reaches, and they won't allow it. Instead of letting Youzhou and help occupy the upper reaches of Zhuozhang River, why don't I occupy it."

Xue Changxiong wanted to sneer.

"I said it all!" At this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly yelled at Li Ding. "Quit Zhao County, otherwise the army will directly send troops to Wu'an. I will only fight with you Xiangguo County, not Zhao County! Hebei

It’s not your turn to speak about this matter!”

The pavilion was quiet for a while. After a long while, Li Ding just stared at the other person and slowly asked: "It's easy for me to withdraw. Who will occupy it?"

"No one can occupy it." Zhang Xing calmed down. "The situation is very clear. Only by retreating to the front of the battle of Zhaojun can everyone accept it."

"Then let Mr. Zhang continue to be the prefect? ​​If I let him go, would he dare?" Li Ding was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Then let someone who is recognized by everyone and has prestige come alone to lead Zhao County." Zhang Xing did not hesitate. "I will recommend one."

"Everyone can't stand what you recommend." Li Ding's smile continued. "Xue Gong especially can't stand it."

"I recommend Mr. Feng." Zhang Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the person beside him.

There was an instant silence in the pavilion.

Feng Wuyi was caught off guard.

"I think it's okay." After a long time, Luo Shu was the first to break the silence and said with a smile. "Feng Gong's family is in Xindu, and he will never oppose Xue Gong. He has great prestige, loves the people, and is a native of Hebei. Everyone

Everyone supports it.”

Xue Changxiong thought for a moment and responded slowly: "I think it's okay."

Feng Wuyi opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

"Feng Gong, if you fail to respond at this time, chaos will break out in Hebei, and the consequences will be disastrous." Zhang Xing promptly reminded. "No matter what, the Gang, Hejian, and Youzhou families cannot fight. This is the bottom line, because once they fight, Hebei will be destroyed."

The only way to stop is to come up with one result, and maybe the whole of Hebei will turn into white ground."

Feng Wuyi fell silent.

"If this is the case, Mr. Li Fu, can you return the soldiers to us?" Seeing this, Luo Shu asked Li Ding again but failed to do so.

Li Ding was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and then finally said: "Then... let's do this."

Hearing this, Xue Changxiong immediately stood up and left straight away.

Li Ding and Luo Shu are also leaving.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing suddenly stopped the former: "Li Silang, stop."

Li Ding turned around to look, the dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible: "What else can you say?"

"I have something to ask you." Zhang Xing spoke seriously, but then looked at Feng Wuyi. "Mr. Feng, I would like to lend you your pavilion."

Feng Wuyi understood and quickly walked away. Luo Shu, who had stopped, smiled and left with Feng Wuyi. There were only two people, Zhang San and Li Si, left in the pavilion.

The two sat down again and looked at Nangong Lake without saying a word.

After a while, as a gust of wind ruffled the water in the pool, Zhang Sanlang finally said: "I have always been curious about one thing. You said that you took Zhao County so easily. There was no one in Hebei before the matter was settled.

I thought you would send troops so soon, but why was it that when you wanted to take Xiangguo County, Commander Chen could not predict it? Find me many days in advance?"

"Since you have thought about it, you will naturally guess it." Li Ding calmly answered. "I told Xie Minghe that I wanted to remind you, and that's what I meant."

"Bai Hengqiu is a bastard!" Zhang Xing sneered. "You only know how to play chess...and what about you, Li Silang? Are you so impatient that you are willing to be a chess piece?"
