The second spring rain in Hebei was not heavy, but it rained repeatedly all day long. By evening, the earthen trenches between the trapped camp and the coalition camp were already muddy.

Zhang Xing, Jia Runshi and other attendants waiting here had to lie down in the mud.

It's literally lying in a nest of mud.

Zhang Xing took the lead, and seven or eight of the gang's core elites, including Jia Runshi, leaned on the earth barrier without style, letting mud and water flow through the gaps in their leather armor, leaving their entire backs stained.

As the rain pattered, Zhang Xing chatted quietly with these people in the mud nest:

"Xiao Liu joined the army, are you married? I heard many people in the camp making fun of you."

"No, I will go back and get married after the war this time." Xiao Liu joined the army and quickly answered after hearing this. "She has lost her parents a long time ago, and she has already agreed."

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, and could only nod his head: "Very good, I will follow suit when the time comes."

Xiao Liu naturally thanked him for joining the army, and the others also laughed and said that they wanted to join the army.

Zhang Xing was helpless and quickly changed the subject: "Cui Yuchen, what about you?"

"I'm not getting married." Cui Erliulang, who was a little huddled up in the cold, was stunned and quickly shook his head.

"I'm not saying whether you want to get married or not." Zhang Xing asked seriously. "Do you have anything private to do when you go out this time?"

Cui Erliulang was stunned again, and then obviously hesitated. Zhang Xing, however, just looked at the other party without moving.

Seeing this, Cui Yuchen had no choice but to say in a low voice: "To be honest with you, chief, if I can go out this time, the Cui family in Qinghe will definitely be destroyed. Although Cui is the elder brother and is very powerful, but he is

It is a branch of Xingyang. The local big and small houses in Qinghe, especially the small house, I have to take responsibility to gather the children of the clan and prevent them from being separated."

"Good ambition." Zhang Xing could only say this, but he looked at Jia Runshi again.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately took the initiative and said: "I have nothing private to do. I have a father at home. I just want to be at ease and serve the chief."

"Are you twenty too?" Zhang Xing obviously disagreed. "It's almost time to think about marriage. Do you have someone you like?"

"Nothing." Jia Runshi could only say one sentence and then chose to shut up and soak in the rain.

Chief Zhang didn't tire of it, and actually asked these people one by one about their marriages. Those who were not married asked when they would get married. Those who were married asked if they had children. Those who had children asked if their children had established foundations.

After some questioning, eight out of ten people became chatty. Zhang Xing knew that the current situation was worrying, so he comforted him again, saying that after today's incident, he would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement.

And hearing the comfort, these people actually cheered up.

"When the time comes, I will spend all the salary and salary increases I have saved over the past few years, and invite all the military documents at the Zhufeng Tower outside Jiangling City to have a drink together!" Xiao Liu was particularly excited to join the army.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing became more and more panicked, but he was still tough on his words and just nodded in agreement: "This is natural."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Xingxiu finally went up, and suddenly he heard someone coming in from the inside of the fence behind the earthen fort opposite and shouting loudly, asking the soldiers on duty to go back and eat in shifts. Then there was a faint echo in the fence, and then

It was the sound of the friction of armor and water, then laughter, comfort, and finally the sound of footsteps.

When the original troops on duty were far away, the sound of another person's footsteps gradually became clearer. It was someone coming towards the earth fort. When this person came to several unguarded earth forts and trenches, he couldn't help but whisper.

Come and ask: "Chief Zhang? Chief Zhang?"

Zhang Xing did not ask Jia Runshi and the others to bring the person, but turned around and climbed onto the muddy and slippery earth barrier, waving to the person coming, that is, Zhang Gongshen.

Zhang Gongshen hurried over and almost slipped in a ditch when he was approaching, but Zhang Xing was able to hold him up.

After the two settled down, Zhang Gongshen, who was covered in water, immediately spoke: "Chief, as I said before, I only said that the gang wanted to send someone to talk, not you. Manager Luo has already agreed."

"Then we're already three-thirds sure about the matter." Zhang Xing immediately laughed and hugged the other party's shoulders with one hand.

Zhang Gongshen, who was originally nervous, relaxed instantly and nodded accordingly.

In this way, Zhang Gongshen led Zhang Xing and his party across the layers of earthen barriers and trenches and entered the fence. Here waiting was a group of obviously more elite soldiers. It was Luo Shu who sent people to greet the "envoy", and Zhang

The chief's attachés also showed their real role at this time. They began to observe the structure of the camp along the way, check the layout of the outposts, and estimate the distribution of the camp's troops.

In response, Zhang Gongshen and Zhang Xing consciously slowed down their pace, and slowly walked towards the camp as if chatting.

In fact, after they crossed the first layer of fence, no one paid much attention to this group of people. They just thought it was Zhang Gongshen, a local general from Youzhou, who was inspecting the camp together.

Of course, this calmness and blandness comes from them

Luo Shu's Chinese army camp changed from the beginning, because Bai Xiangui, who was waiting here, recognized Zhang Xing. However, although Luo Shu's chief confidant was obviously panicked, he did not lose control. He just quickly moved into the Chinese army's tent.

.

"Manager, we fell into Zhang San's trick, and he came in person!" Bai Xiangui said simply and directly.

Luo Shu, who was just sitting casually at first, was suddenly startled. He stood up on the spot and wanted to speak. His body-protecting energy also began to stir up. However, he soon came to his senses and hurried forward to the tent door.

go.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Mr. Luo, long time no see! Has Mr. Luo come here? I wonder how far his cultivation is?"

These words were like reminiscing about old acquaintances from other camps, and they were quite frank. Luo Shu laughed dryly, continued to greet him, and stood at the tent door. Seeing that the other party let go of Zhang Gongshen's hand and stretched it over, he had no choice but to extend his hand.

He caught the other party and walked a few steps inside together. Then he looked back and saw Bai Xiangui and Zhang Gongshen driving away the other guards in the tent early. Joining the army and others, even Zhang Xing's entourage were also outside, so he felt relieved: "Chief Zhang

, you are so brave!"

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Zhang Xing sneered and said disapprovingly. "I have the Fulong Seal of my own. King Xiongtian and the Thirteen Vajras are both here. Even if Bai Hengqiu comes over, what do I have to worry about?"

Luo Shu was startled for a moment, and wanted to let go, but he did not let go in the end. Instead, he grabbed the opponent's hand and sat down side by side behind his case, and then took the opportunity to withdraw his hand: "If you say so, this army of more than 100,000 people

Internally and externally, doesn’t Chief Zhang come and leave whenever he wants?”

"That's true." Zhang Xing sat down and looked around again. "Is there any food or wine? My camp has run out of food and grass, and I'm in a miserable state all the way. Give some to my entourage."

"Serve the food, but don't serve the wine yet. Get some hot porridge, and serve the wine later. Don't forget to go outside." Luo Shu glanced at the opponent's obviously dirty leather armor, and immediately turned back to give the order, and waited until the porridge was served.

They were all brought by Zhang Gongshen himself, and Zhang Xing took them directly, but he asked out of curiosity: "Chief Zhang, since you can come and go with ease, why don't you leave? Since your cultivation is proper, why are you still covered in mud and water?"

"Why?" Zhang Xing held the bowl of porridge and whispered with a low eyebrow. "These more than ten thousand men are the elite of the gang. If they are gone, wouldn't they have to start all over again in Hebei? Or even if the balance within the gang is out of control, they will have to start a new business?"

"Why is this so?" Luo Shu thought for a while and analyzed it carefully. "Chen Bin, Wei Xuanding, and Dou Lide all obey you. It's just that something went wrong here. You went out and brought experts above Ningdan to Pingyuan."

Isn't it possible for the large army to grasp the situation in Hebei? What's more, Li Shu is convinced by the current situation. Even the commanders and deputy commanders below can make a move. This shows that you are very popular in Hebei.

"

"That's not the case." Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, lowered his head and finished a bowl of porridge, and then spoke seriously. "Although I had no choice but to divide the troops that day, but now I have left a huge flaw, that is, where the large corps was from the beginning to the end.

Bai Hengqiu can't even attack him, but in other words, as long as my place collapses, Bai Hengqiu can easily defeat the large army there as long as he drives the two armies of Taiyuan and Wu'an."

Luo Shu thought for a while and nodded slowly. He is a person who knows soldiers. Of course he knows Guan Yu. The problem here is that the gang must concentrate its elite and add Fu Longyin to force Bai Hengqiu back. Once the elite of the gang collapses,

Even if the high-end combat power escapes, they can't set up a large formation there. It's impossible to hinder someone, and they will naturally be defeated.

Moreover, there is also the factor that it is difficult for the large corps to move, including the need to take the initiative to respond when the gang needs to break through.

"If so"

"If that's the case," Zhang Xing said slowly. "If we don't help one of them, the whole situation may be ruined. By then, all the territory in Hebei will be taken away by Li Ding and Xue Changxiong. But I don't know about Ji County."

, the counties of Hanoi and Wuyang should be collected by themselves, or divided in some way. But no matter what, the overall situation of Hebei must be generally attributed to the Bai family."

Luo Shu remained silent.

Zhang Xing also continued to say: "Moreover, the Bai family's situation is not just Hebei. They have Jin and Jingxiang in their hands, even the east capital has been attacked, and the overall situation of Guanxi and Jiangdong has never been effective.

If this is the case, the Bai family's world is almost at hand."

"That's right. Even though the Cao family is dead, the Bai family still has destiny." Luo Shu finally sighed quietly.

"On the other hand, I am not boasting. As long as I can escape with these people and leave a situation for the gang, the situation in Hebei will not belong to the Bai family. By then, Hebei, East Border, Beidi, Central Plains, Jianghuai

, Jiangdong has a bright future, and the general trend of the world is uncertain." Zhang Xing ignored the other party's expression and just continued his analysis.

"Even if there is a future, it is also the future of the gang. What does it have to do with me?" Luo Shufu laughed again.

"I think so too." When Bai Xiangui and Zhang Gongshen were surprised, Zhang Xing also laughed. "If I can really escape this disaster and come back to life, then I have my own thoughts. In the general trend of the world, it is destiny.

, Sanhui and Siyu should also pay more attention to us and help us, right?"

Luo Shu seems to be smiling but not smiling.

"If we lose, the Bai family will seize all the power in the world, and it will be difficult for the others to reverse it. If we win, I will help bring the dead back to life, and we will regain two points of the world's destiny. But other than that, there are some things I still want to say clearly." Zhang Xing finally raised his hand.

He went to get the jug on the table and poured two glasses of wine calmly. "From the perspective of the Youzhou Army, if the Bai family takes over the world, it will no longer be possible to stand on its own, and will only gradually become a vassal and then be annexed.

, and because the people from Hebei are under the control of the Guanlong people, I am afraid that they will stay in a low position from now on, and they will not be able to stand up for several generations; and if the gang survives and takes away two points of luck, in fact, the Youzhou army will also be able to come back with one point of luck.

Because here in Hebei, it seems that there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the feudal lords are divided. In fact, it has always been the official army and the rebel army; after this war, it was the people of Hebei and the people of Guanlong."

Luo Shu still smiled and remained silent.

On the other hand, Bai Xiangui and Zhang Gongshen almost had their own thoughts, and then the former took the lead to persuade: "General manager, what Chief Zhang said makes sense."

The latter also immediately reminded: "General Manager, if Bai Hengqiu returns without success and helps the gang escape, then here in Hebei, they will definitely help the two Hebei forces of our Youzhou Army to deal with the Xue and Li families.

The Long forces are the main force. In this way, although the gang is coming back to life, we can also take the opportunity to integrate Youzhou, advance to Hejian, and then go north to sweep the north. At that time, it is not a bad idea to follow the Black Emperor's example of destroying the dry land from north to south and achieve hegemony. Why bother to be locked up in Long again?

A person’s anger for half his life?”

Luo Shu still smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Zhang Xing grabbed the opponent's hand and asked: "Manager Luo, even if you don't consider the local justice of the locals and outsiders, and don't consider the future of Youzhou you lead, you are a local hero. Don't you know that hundreds of people have gone before you?"

The ups and downs of Hebei in 2017?"

"Of course I know, but so what?"
