Chapter 34: Wind and Rain (34)(1/5)
Chapter 494 Storm (34)
"Do you like this scene, Jade Master?"
Zhang San walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, Qin Bao followed, Fang Xuanqiao followed for a few steps, and stopped dozens of steps away, while Wang Wulang did not move at all, only hiding in the shadow under the river embankment.
In the middle, he stood with a bow and an arrow.
"Why don't you like it?" Li Qingchen answered lightly, but remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is Zhang Sanlang testing me? Is he worried that I am going to die, and I am totally despondent and unable to help you?"
"I'm just worried about you." Zhang Xing walked up to him with his hands behind his hands and sighed while looking at the rippling river with stars and moon. "If your heart is not filled with despair, who doesn't like the summer scenery?"
"No." Li Qingchen slowly shook his head. "But you are right, I really can't let go of Xia Xinghan, otherwise I wouldn't be coveting here for a while."
Zhang Xing nodded and stood side by side with the other party with his hands behind his hands. After looking at him for a while, he suddenly asked, but his words were completely off topic: "Does Twelve Lang know about Han?"
"The stars in the sky and the rivers on the earth are so beautiful? Who doesn't know?" Li Qingchen answered calmly.
"What a pity." Zhang Xing sighed. "On that day, Emperor Bai had accumulated a lot of experience, cut off the river and killed the dragon to get out of the Han River, and quickly swept the world. However, he ascended the throne before he had time to establish a dynasty. Otherwise, the dynasty he established might not be called Han."
"It makes sense." Li Qingchen thought for a moment, nodded, and asked again. "What about you?"
"Me?" Zhang Xing was puzzled for a moment.
"If you establish a dynasty, what will it be called?" Li Qingchen seemed curious.
"I never thought about it," Zhang Xingyi said.
"Have you never thought about the name of the dynasty, or have you never thought about calling yourself emperor?" Li Qingchen continued to ask.
"I haven't thought about it," Zhang Xing simply replied. "Don't you, Li Twelve, know the signs I have shown over the years? They are all just taking one step at a time... Even the rebellion that day was just a matter of anger.
Where do you get all these thoughts?"
"I don't believe it." Li Qingchen shook his head and said, "Your rebellion is clearly planned."
"Having rules and regulations has nothing to do with deliberate thinking." Zhang Xing argued. "Back in Dongdu, I argued with Li Silang and the others every day, not to mention there are so many allusions that history can learn from."
Li Qingchen was silent for a while and then slowly said: "If this is the case, you are truly a natural talent for rebellion."
Zhang Xing shook his head: "Now that I've come, let's make peace with it. If the Wei Dynasty prospers, I won't be able to say that I will be a top traitor!"
The leader of thieves in troubled times, the treacherous official who governs the world?
"Then do you want to be the emperor? If so, what name will you give me?" Li Qingchen dismissed the messy thoughts and continued to ask.
"It doesn't matter if you act it or not, it doesn't matter what your name is." Zhang Xing told the truth.
"Then you are open-minded."
"It's not that I am open-minded. I have also thought about it. I have wanted to be supreme for a long time... If I can achieve the same supreme status as Bai Diye, it doesn't matter whether I am emperor or not, and what the name of the dynasty is called?" Zhang Xing was still honest.
Li Qingchen finally turned his head to look at the man beside him. After a while, he smiled and said: "I have also thought about becoming a Supreme Being. I am not just me. I am afraid that half of the people in this world have thought about becoming a Supreme Being when they were young. But almost everyone's
The road to attainment has been cut off long ago, and you haven’t seen the road to death yet... What kind of thinking is this?"
Zhang Xing did not explain any more this time. On the one hand, he felt it was boring. On the other hand, he suddenly and inexplicably saw that although the other party's words were flowing, he was actually empty and empty, just like an oil lamp that was about to go out at night.
Of course I have to be careful when using this lamp... This guy is really going to die.
In this way, the two of them were quiet for a while, and then Li Qingchen spoke again: "What I'm saying is that I still want to ask you, if you don't become the emperor in the end and don't get the title of supreme, then what's the point of doing all this? It's not in vain.
?"
Zhang Xing thought for a moment, suddenly realized, looked back at Fang Xuanqiao, and then came to tell Li Qingchen seriously: "Li Twelve Lang, if you want to verify what the boy from the Fang family told you, of course there is no problem, because I have never
It’s always been this way!”
"But do good deeds and don't ask about your future?" Li Qingchen asked with a sneer.
"As long as you do good deeds, your future will go up, because there is always a future." Zhang Xingzheng told him. "It's just that this future may not be personal. It cannot be said that the predecessors planted trees and the next generation can enjoy the shade. It cannot be said that
It’s about walking down first and then lifting up.”
Li Qingchen nodded slowly: "Fang Xuanqiao has explained it to me in detail in the past few days. What I want to ask is, do you really believe this?"
"Of course I believe it." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "But it may not be the kind of 'faith' you think of. My faith is not based on will or virtue, but is more similar to believing in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the three splendors and the four seasons.
Yu, the faith of heaven, earth, land and sea is the belief that fire can melt ice, and ice becomes water when it melts. I think this is the basic truth between heaven and earth, and it will not be shaken by human thoughts... Moreover, it is not only a good thing.
, if you do bad things, your future will sink."
Li Qingchen was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "This is the crux of the matter. I believe you really believe this, but I can't confirm it, and I don't have time to confirm it..."
Zhang Xing remained silent.
Li Qingchen suddenly turned around: "Qin Er, do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Qin Bao spread his hands a few steps behind.
"Can you understand this?" Li Twelve said with disdain.
"Third brother believes it. I believe it, so of course I can." Qin Bao has his own reasons.
"It's also an explanation." Li Qingchen turned his head and smiled at the sparkling river. "And there are quite a few people like him..."
At this point, the young prime minister of Jing'an Tai became solemn again: "But this method is useless to me. I am destined not to get it."
Zhang Xing said nothing, while Qin Bao stared at the back of this life-and-death acquaintance. A little further away, Fang Xuanqiao sighed quietly in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Qingchen continued to speak: "Then let's stop gossiping. Qin Bao told me what you mean, but I am only responsible for passing on the conditions and will never make any unnecessary calculations for you... If you withdraw, can you
Give what?"
"Prisoners," Zhang Xing blurted out. "The 30,000 prisoners of the imperial army can all be returned."
"This is a tough dish... No wonder you have the confidence to come here." Li Qingchen nodded slightly. "Is there any more?"
"We can release all the previously captured Imperial Guard followers, whether they are craftsmen, chamberlains, or palace servants, as long as their families are in the Eastern Capital and they are willing to return to the Eastern Capital."
"Where are the emperor and the queen mother?"
"No, our gang only rose up to fight against the Wei Dynasty. The Wei royal family was the first dragon we deposed. How could we put it back and let you continue to serve as the emperor?"
"Are Sima Huada and Sima Jinda included among the prisoners of the Imperial Army?" Li Qingchen paused and continued to ask.
"It does not include people above the First Guard General." Zhang Xing drew the line. "This war was started by them breaking the contract. Every injustice has its own debtor, and if these people are caught by us, they will be dealt with by us. But the reverse is true.
He said, it is none of our business if we are not caught. Brother Sima is still in the city and is not our prisoner. If you really want to, it is not impossible to get out of the way. If anything happens to them, it is not our gang's responsibility.
.”
Li Qingchen nodded without comment: "Old General Yujiuluo must come back."
Zhang Xing smiled: "Twelve men, you are showing your cowardice. General Yu is not in our hands. He ran away. This old general is so experienced that he immediately sensed our encirclement. He was as early as a fish."
Usually he got out...but don't expect him to help you, because he got through Sanchaze and then crossed the Huai River to Huainan."
Li Qingchen was stunned and couldn't help but laugh: "I see, it's true that I was timid. I just saw that you had all your troops and horses, as well as the troops chasing Zhang Qianda and the others, so I thought General Yu Lao had been wiped out."
Zhang Xing smiled and said nothing.
"How to divide the territory?" Li Qingchen calmed down and continued to ask.
"How do you want to draw it?" Zhang Xing asked back.
"It's very simple. The two sides of Qiao County are bounded by the Uishui River, and further north, they are divided by the county boundary. You are Liang County and Dong County, and we are Huaiyang County, Yingchuan County and Xingyang County." Li Qingchen said firmly.
You're thinking shit!
Wang Wulang almost raised his bow.
"Of course Xingyang belongs to us. Dulong Prison belongs to you. Huaiyang can also recognize Zhao Tuo, but of course Qiaojun is also helped by us." Zhang Xing was not angry, but instead gave an extremely favorable and unexpected offer.
"However, we can use the line where Qinshui River enters the river mouth as the boundary and give you most of Hanoi County... The reason why we can't give it all is because we can't expose the north of Xingyang County across the river... You
What do you think?"
Wang Wulang below was stunned and did not say anything. Even Li Qingchen was a little confused. After a while, he asked: "Is it so lenient?"
Of course, it is generous, because the two worlds have similar geographical environments. Hanoi County has always been the top county, with a developed economy, a large population, and it is also the northern barrier of the Eastern Capital. This condition is naturally generous.
"There's nothing to argue about." Zhang Xing said frankly. "Our gang intends to be in the north, and we don't want to get too entangled with you, including Bai Hengqiu. Although Hanoi County is rich in people and resources, it is sandwiched between Jin and Dongdu.
, here you go, we only need to defend a few passages in Hongshan and Zishan, and you can also obtain the Dongdu barrier, why not?"
Li Qingchen thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "If that's the case, it's not impossible."
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Xing asked.
"If there is no more, what else can there be?" Li Qingchen asked back. "You don't want to ask Yueniang and Qin Er about his mother, do you? Neither I nor Sima Zheng, are they this kind of people?"
"Of course that's not what I'm talking about." Zhang Xing waved his hand and said with a smile. "I mean, don't you need to sign a contract? The two sides agreed on the boundary and a truce for three or five years. They will not be allowed to trade and travel, and jointly maintain official roads and waterways..."
"What are you thinking?" Li Qingchen was speechless. "Will those people in Dongdu allow the imperial court to form a treaty with the world's largest rebel?"
"It can be a secret agreement." Zhang Xing quickly replied. "Then it's tacitly understood... As you said, can't I trust you and Sima Erlang?"
Li Qingchen was silent for a moment and gave a serious reply: "If that's the case, I can tell Sima Erlang here, but don't think that I can sway him..."
"I don't expect you to sway him or convince him, but I hope you, Twelve Lang, can help Sima Erlang regain his clarity and act like a leader." Zhang Xing sighed. "You can't survive until your heart is dull."
Li Qingchen nodded.
Zhang Xing looked at the other party and continued to ask: "That's it?"
To be continued...
