Chapter 75 An Anxian (4)(2/2)

The round of military reforms of the gang has come to an end, and it seems to be to completely eliminate the previous turmoil. It is indeed at the suggestion of Zhang Xing, and when everything is a foregone conclusion, Xu Shiying announced some of his choices... He admitted that he had some of his personal discretion as the head of the Military Affairs Department, but overall he followed the close relationship between these generals and their performance in several large-scale wars.

This behavior triggered some disputes within the gang, which eventually made a little ugly.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

Why did Liu Hei-gu and Han Erlang not talk about these things the day before yesterday? The reason is very simple. They are the biggest beneficiaries of this round of military reform, and of course they will not cause trouble.

Going back to the question itself, the focus of the debate is actually very simple. One is the most common struggle for merit. Everyone thinks that what they are in that battle will definitely not be as good as anyone else. This is a cliché; and the focus of the debate is what battles are qualified to be references for personnel appointments and removals in the military reform?

Xu Shiying gave the table clearly marked the following battles: Jiyin-Dongjun Jianbang Uprising, the Battle of Lishan, the defense counterattack in Banxian, the siege of Zhangshui, the battle of Wo-Shui to wipe out the Great Wei imperial guards, and the battle of Hebei-North Punishment.

The focus of the controversy is that a considerable number of people believe that the Hebei-North Pacification War belongs to the plot, the diplomatic relations, and the political situation. It is not very effective in military performance and cannot show the ability to fight. Correspondingly, the defensive assault war against the Liang-Qiao area before the Battle of Lishan. After entering Hebei, the Bohai County Raid War was fought in order to gain a foothold, which was also a key battle, and it showed more military capabilities.

Zhang Xing knew this very well that this was not a superficial debate. In fact, this dispute directly related to the sense of belonging and political status of many people and many groups. Once determined, it may continue to affect the political ecology within the Gang in the future.

For example, why did so many people mention the defensive battle against Han Yingong before the Battle of Lishan? Because it was the root of the eunuch army and it was also the first time that the Tabaiqi appeared. The senior officials in the gang with the background would attach great importance to this matter.

Not to mention anything else, Lao Shen, the current prefect of Zhuo County, showed his strengths in that battle. Before this battle, specifically, before the White Cavalry formed a team to charge for the first time, he was still a obviously resistant to the gang, thinking that he was simply a master of cultivation who was forced to pass because his hometown was occupied by the gang.

Can he not care? So the several budding white cavalry led by him reacted extremely fiercely to this matter, and complemented Wang Zhuo and others from the eunuchs in the south.

As for the Bohai Sea Raid, that is the root of the Hebei Rebel Army!

Whether it was Dou Lide who was staying in Gaojipo or Gao Shitong who had gone to Dengzhou from the Bohai Plain before, he had officially gained a foothold in the Gang in this battle. How could he not pay attention to it? The Gang chose to establish a foundation in Hebei, and the influence of these local rebels cannot be ignored.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing suddenly thought of Liu Hei-chung. This guy became increasingly active after going to Youzhou from Dou Lide, and he had a vague trend of becoming the leader of the Hebei rebel army with his back to Daxingtai. As a result, when he met him the day before yesterday, he did not mention this matter... Do you understand him, Chief Zhang and General Xu, or do you know how to unite people more than Dou Lide?

I'm afraid it's hard to say.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xing could only give a reply. Xu Shiying's original statement remained unchanged. He included the Liang-Qiao defense battle in the Battle of Lishan. Not only that, the previous tug-of-war between the Gang and Zhang Xuguo Group should also be included in it, and the Battle of Lishan should be extended into a battle; by the same token, the Bohai raid can also be included in the Battle of Banxian against the Hejian Camp, and even the Hebei rebel army's insistence in Gaojipo can be included in it; and the Battle of Swallowing Fengjun should also be included in the Pacification Operation of Hebei-Blackland.

Finally, Zhang Xing also wrote a letter to Zhang Shizhao, Xu Jingzu and others, asking these people with extremely high political IQ to compile a brief history of the gang's founding. He also reminded that the eunuch army, Nanyang Wu Jingfeng-Mang King Kong Resolute Army, Hebei Resolute Army, Dangmo Guard, and even Zhishilang Wanghou's resolute army should be inclusive of orthodox sources, and should also rewrite the tyranny of the Great Wei, helping heroes from all walks of life to react to the Great Wei, and then gather together to achieve success.

Even Li Shu should give an objective evaluation to clarify his contributions and unforgivable betrayal.

After delivering this letter, Zhang Xing was rarely tired. This was a rare feeling he felt after digging the river with him these days, so he went to bed early.

Unexpectedly, it was a long time to have a sweet and dark sleep. At the third update of the night, someone rushed to Zhang Xing’s slept and woke him up.

Chief Zhang turned over and sat up, feeling a little confused for a moment, because in addition to Xiong Bonan who he felt early in the morning, there were Chen Bin, Xu Shiying, Wang Shuyong, Xu Shiren, Xie Minghe, Zhang Jinshu, Yan Qing, and Qian Tang.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xing could only joke: "Is Sima Zheng attacking Yecheng? But even if Yecheng was taken down, you should have taken Mr. Wei to escape with him, right?"

Chen Bin wanted to speak, but was blocked by Xiong Bonan, who had always been humble. The latter took the initiative to speak: "Chief, the former army came to report, Li Shu seemed to have arrived in Taiyuan."

Zhang Xing thought about it and finally realized why this was happening, but he just shook his head: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, it's inevitable that she will meet with swords and weapons... Why is this?"

Chen Bin finally got the words: "Chief, this is not the key."

Having said that, he did not continue and the rest of the people had no intention of saying it directly.

Zhang Xing was silent for a while and guessed the whole story: "He wants to come back?"

"Yes." Xu Shiying said concisely. "He said he was willing to give up Loufan Pass and lead us into Taiyuan... In this way, the fish in Hedong could not support him at all. Wang Huaitong from Taiyuan was another literary cultivator. As long as we sent three or more masters, we could succeed."

Yu Jiluo escaped to Dongdu and was recruited by Bai Hengqiu by his old master. In fact, many generals with Long background chose to turn to Bai Hengqiu after returning from Jiangdu to Dongdu. As for Wang Huaitong, he was a local master in Taiyuan Township, one in literature and one in martial arts, and it was considered the two fulcrums of Daying in Jin.

"Do you think it's trustworthy?" Zhang Xing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's a big deal. Mr. Wei is not healthy and didn't come here. But we discussed it on the way and felt that it's hard to say whether it is true or false..." Xiong Bonan said solemnly. "The chief has to make an idea."

"I don't want to start a war immediately... Once I enter Jin, I can gain a foothold, and we and Bai Hengqiu must spend money opposite the mountain nest." Zhang Xing responded slowly. "And I don't want to accept Li Shu either. Even if he really wants to come back, I don't want to accept him!"

"What we mean is that if we can use the trick and capture him back, and rectify the Dharma on the spot, it is also a saying." Xu Shiying reminded.

"No," Xie Minghe also nodded. "So, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The key is whether this is an opportunity... If you don't want to raid Jin, don't you want to capture and kill Li Shu?"

"Don't want it." Zhang Xing rubbed his eyes under the torch and gave an unexpected reply. "If he comes back, whether he surrenders or rectifies the Dharma, there will definitely be turmoil in the gang... This is like pouring a bottle of vinegar into a pot of fish cooking. It seems to be a fishy smell, but in fact it will ruin the soup base. For him, personally, the reason for this is that whether he really wants to come back or seduce us, he will inevitably be unable to bear his own inaction... If I want to say that the best way to deal with him is to underestimate him, or even ignore him... It is most appropriate to treat him as an ordinary helm leader who surrendered in the past. As for the reason why we have made so many leading managers run around overnight because of a rebel gang leader?"

Everyone was speechless. It was not that no one had thought or guessed that Zhang Xing might mean this, but the problem was, who could guarantee it before he didn't come?

And to be fair, there were indeed several people on the scene who were like a thorn in the throat and a ray of light on their backs.

The dusk was deep, thousands of miles away. Just when Zhang Xing finished this temporary meeting with the top gang, Xiao Hui summoned Bai Yousi overnight.

In the hall full of candlelight, the Lord of the Nanliang Kingdom came straight to the point: "Bai Snake, so if I don't need you as reinforcements, the Ming Dynasty will raise an army to attack, right?"

Bai Yousi looked at Du Pozhi standing on the side, and then looked at Xiao Hui, obviously puzzled: "Didn't Lord Xiao listen to Du Longtou's words? He is the dragon leader. I, the dragon leader, will only be corrected by the end of the year. What he said is what he wants to say."

Xiao Hui shook his head repeatedly: "I still want to hear Mr. Bai say this."

"It's true." Bai Yousi said simply. "If Lord Xiao didn't use us, we would naturally have to conquer Huainan to gain wealth."

Xiao Hui was silent for a long time, then he lowered his hands and asked, "Why is this?"

"The king was joking." Bai Yousi couldn't help laughing. "In today's world, it is a world of great struggle, and there are only four families, which is also a world of great struggle. The so-called "unity will lead to war, which is probably the case!"

"But aren't you just not fighting?" Xiao Hui asked immediately.

"It's just a non-war agreement that was made before and after the war. When the contract expires, it will inevitably be a war if it is not in harmony." Bai Yousi did not avoid it at all.

Xiao Hui thought for a while and sneered: "But White Snake, since he is fighting in disagreement, and since he is a great struggle, I am giving in. Isn't it a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger? What's the difference between losing Huainan and escaping?"

"Of course there is." Bai Yousi suddenly raised his sword and stepped forward a few steps, came to Xiao Hui, and then looked up at each other across the steps. "Master Xiao, the gang or the Ming Dynasty, will not be able to go south in an overall situation before destroying Dongdu and Daying, and then put his heart on the other person's knife... In other words, if we fight for something inconsistent, we will only take one Huainan, let alone a union? Our union must be looser than the union of the True Fire Sect Cao Shiyu!"

Xiao Hui remained silent.

Bai Yousi glanced at Du Pozhen, and the latter understood... He didn't know why Xiao Hui was actually moved by this reaction, and he just needed some additional explanation and guarantee.

At this point, Du Pozhen sighed in his heart and said with difficulty: "Master Xiao, you must understand the kindness of our gang! We come to the south, one is to fight if we don't cooperate with you, and the other is to prevent Daying from rushing out from the upper reaches, so we will suppress Hunan for you, and at the same time we will resist Daying for you. This is the reason for us. Daying is the foundation of Guanlong. They have always regarded the southerners as fish on the table, and if they don't surrender, they will fight if they don't surrender. As for whether the gang will be used to annex you in the future, even if there is, it is also after the unification of the north. When it comes to that time, you have not used our knife to cut open your world in Jiangnan. I can only say that even if you are surrendered, you deserve it."

This was unexpectedly sincere and sincere, Bai Yousi even looked at Du Pozhi for a few more times.

Xiao Hui was obviously moved by the other party and couldn't help but face each other: "If this is the case, I have three conditions."

Obviously, he must have considered weighing these things many times within the previous three days.

"Please tell me, Lord Xiao." Bai Yousi said relaxed and even took the initiative to take a few steps down to make room to avoid being aggressive.

"The Ming Dynasty and Daliang have an equal relationship, and we must form a formal alliance. We use the troops of our allies to suppress the rebellion and resist Daying. The alliance must clarify the borders and subordinates of the two families. Moreover, if we take down Bashu in the future, it will be the foundation of Daliang, and we will divide the north and south into equal parts." Xiao Hui said anxiously, feeling relieved. "This is one of them."

"The equal covenant should be fine. We can follow the example of Dongdu. As for the equal division of the world, I think it is up to be discussed. No matter what, this must be replied to by the Daxingtai." Bai Yousi immediately bowed. "Out of this palace, we will send people to go north quickly."

Xiao Hui nodded and continued to say, "Your troops have entered our borders. We provide you with food and grass. You should strictly abide by military discipline, not plunder, nor do you displace the marching routes we have set and the rebellion areas without authorization. Moreover, during the rebellion, as the king of the country, I am the only one who can reward and punish, so you cannot kill and surrender, and the rebel officers and soldiers have to deal with it... This is the second thing."

"There is no problem with this, I can agree now." Bai Yousi blurted out.

Xiao Hui nodded, but his expression became more and more serious: "Third... Bai Snake said, "You kill the national teacher like killing a dog?"

Bai Yousi immediately smiled and said, "What I said is like a mortal kills a dog. There are troubles, but there is always confidence... How? Master Xiao means, let me kill Cao Shiyu first, so that the two families can get along?"

"No." Xiao Hui immediately fell solemnly. "I mean, the situation will stabilize in the future. We in the south do not need your assistance to do it. If you want you to leave, you must leave at any time and not delay."

Bai Yousi nodded immediately: "But we must settle the compensation first... We cannot fight for war in vain. We must record the remuneration money clearly in the name of the prefectures and counties and eliminate rebellion."

Xiao Hui was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately.

Before dawn, Bai Yousi, who had discussed the specific details, walked out of the palace together... When he came to the palace gate, Bai Yousi turned around with some confusion: "I thought he knew the pros and cons, and knew that we had bad intentions, and he might even break up with us. How could he agree in the end? He was not as cowardly as he was, right?"

Du Pozhen smiled bitterly and held his hands in the early morning dew: "The entire beam is like a house on a sludge, and there are tides gushing out in front of me from time to time... If you want me to say, we may have been his most serious pillar, what does it have to do with his cowardice or not?"

Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment.

At this point, Du Pozhen restrained his expression and said with difficulty again: "Actually, General Manager Bai, I think now that we are better off starting a war directly. I have ten thousand generals, ten thousand spear battalions, and the Huai River navy. With your heroic martial arts and Xuzhou's support, I can't really capture Huainan and Jiangdong..."

Bai Yousi was also silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand. Besides, if that is the case, Jing Xiang will not be able to protect him... We cannot let Daying's people have the advantage."

Du Pozhi could only nod.

At this time, the sky was light and roosters crowed in the city.
