Bai Hengqiu was startled for a moment, and immediately realized that the other party was asking him what political commitment he could give. Even though he had already made up his mind to leave no room for it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If he comes with Sanniang, I, Bai Hengqiu, will

Even if I want to give my inheritance to those sons in the future, I’m afraid I won’t dare, right? If he agrees, the child’s surname will be Bai.”

Many people around him were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, but Li Ding remained calm.

Just like that, after a moment, with the sun about to set, Li Ding asked Su Jingfang to raise the flag, called his subordinate Wang Chen to invite people to come as a guard, and then went straight to the northern army camp.

When he arrived at the camp, he reported his name, but within a moment, Zhang Xing rode out of the camp on a yellow gelding, leading Wang Xiongdan and more than a dozen other horsemen, but he did not bring any flags.

The two sides handed over their horses, and the knight behind him fell more than ten steps away, allowing the two to talk.

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Li Ding smiled.

"I've been really tired these past few days... You taught me this camp, and it's really troublesome to build." Zhang Xing, who had sunken eyes, also smiled. "But you are obviously full of energy."

"The future of military affairs has been well arranged by Duke Bai. There is no need to worry about anything, and you will naturally be in good spirits." Li Ding responded with a smile. "Don't talk nonsense. Duke Bai asked me to ask you, is there still room for turning back now?

"

"Let me speak my conscience." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and answered sincerely. "I really thought about surrendering this time, but that was the night after I received Xue Changxiong's letter three or four days ago and learned about the situation... and what I did that night

After making the decision, I will no longer consider surrender... Tell that old thief Bai Hengqiu that if he wants to fight, he will fight, and I will just wait for him here."

Li Ding nodded and reminded again: "But this time you lose more than you win, and once you lose, you are likely to be doomed."

"So what?" Zhang Xing asked immediately. "What else?"

"Mr. Bai asked me to ask, can you tell him what else you rely on besides this immovable Qi formation?" Li Ding continued to ask, causing a slight commotion in front of him and behind him.

Is this okay to ask?

Will you answer the question?

Zhang Xing leaned over, looked at the dozen knights behind him, and suddenly laughed: "Yes, our biggest reliance is Hebei Yiyi. Not only Xue Changxiong, but also Feng Wuyi also promised to betray him secretly. As long as

We hold on, and the Taiyuan soldiers and horses gradually become exhausted. The so-called encirclement and suppression of the army will turn into Hebei against Jin. We encircle and kill Bai Hengqiu... Li Silang, since the Wei Dynasty is in this position, where can there be any officials?

Army and rebels? Even if there are officers and soldiers, it's not Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong, right?"

The knights on both sides were in commotion again, but they seemed to be a little panicked.

Li Ding's expression changed slightly, but then he shook his head: "Even if there are no official troops and rebels, there are also Guanlong and the rebels. How can it be as easy as you said? The matter of Xue Gong sending a message to you is also a tactic to alienate people, right?

?”

"They are people from Guanlong who came to Hebei to establish themselves. All the soldiers are from Hebei, and their food and wages are all taken from Hebei. So, do you think this is a military town in Hebei or a military town in Guanlong?" Zhang Xing looked at the other party and said proudly, avoiding the direct answer.

Question. "Li Silang, how many of the famous Guanlong clan were born in Guanlong? Isn't it the result of heroes from other places who mainly established military forces in Guanlong and established their careers? Others don't know this truth, but don't you Li Silang?"

Do you know? Are you and your Wu'an soldiers considered the Guanlong army?"

Li Ding remained silent.

Zhang Xing continued to laugh: "That's good. If you are interested, I will attack the camp while you are still on your feet tonight. Don't fight me. Then I will know your intentions."

Li Ding finally smiled again: "It's a deal."

Zhang Xing also nodded: "It's a deal."

The two men immediately cut their horses and turned their heads.

But just after returning to their respective entourage queues, the two of them looked back at each other as if they had a clear understanding.

"Li Silang, I have something to ask of you." Zhang Xingxian said with a smile.

"Come on." Li Ding was a little serious.

"If the gang is really defeated this time, and I don't have the guts to fight to death, I hope you will take advantage of our previous friendship and kill me before I am sent to Bai Hengqiu..." Zhang Xing was still smiling, as if

It's just a joke.

"Are you afraid of surrendering?" Li Ding asked seriously.

"That's right." Zhang Xing also answered seriously. "Three years ago, no matter how big the problem was, I would have risked my life by myself, but now I see that my foundation is getting heavier and my actions are getting smoother and more reasonable.

, but I am afraid that I will gradually lose my old blood because of this... That would be too shameful... And if you kill me, at least Sisi, a close friend like you, will forgive me, and for the sake of kindness, I will still

Consider me a hero."

"Okay." Li Ding was silent for a while. Seeing the sunset between the two of them about to set, he smiled and nodded. "I also want to ask you... did I say something?"

"Which sentence?"

"If you win this time, I will bow down and let you run around!"

"It seems there is, but I really can't remember it." Zhang Xing also said with a smile. "Anyway, ever since you settled in Wu'an and I came to Hebei, I have always had such wishful thinking in my heart... Is this really true?

?”

"Of course you sit really well." Li Ding nodded: "I was reluctant before because you never beat me. This time I am right opposite you. We will definitely win or lose."

"That's good." Zhang Xing nodded and glanced at the setting sun to the west. "That's good."

"Take care, take care." Li Ding also nodded.

Then the two of them returned to their camps together with the Supreme Being to the west.
