Li Ding threw down the golden whip and stood on the case. He wanted to speak for a moment, but he seemed a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing knew that his raid was successful, so he did not hesitate, stepped forward, stepped on the edge of the confession with one foot, then reached out and grabbed the opponent's arm, directly captured the opponent, and then hugged and pushed him

Follow the other person to the outside of the main hall.

When he came to the corridor outside, Li Ding still seemed confused, but Zhang Xing ignored him and just dragged the people around him to look around and smiled proudly: "Everyone, the matter has been decided! And today it is decided, the world can't say it is settled.

!”

After saying that, Zhang Xing raised the hands held by the two of them.

Moreover, Li Ding gathered almost the entire Wu'an Army here, and just now he arranged military affairs in the square. Therefore, almost all the five hundred or more soldiers were here, and almost all of them followed him to the corridor.

, I saw Li Ding getting angry and losing his temper just now, and I also saw Zhang Xing’s urging and the current scene.

Naturally, I also know what these words mean.

However, unlike before when Zhang Xing stopped Li Ding and almost everyone was relieved, now as these words were spoken, the reaction of the backbones of the Wu'an Army was different... Su Mu, Su Jingfang and his son led a wave of school lieutenants

, the five hundred masters on one side almost immediately bowed their heads to the two men and saluted; while some of the officers led by Wang Chen were obviously hesitant and looked at Li Ding.

So, Zhang Xing also looked at Li Ding, who was caught by him.

Li Ding was silent for a moment, and finally said: "You are always good at talking big words, how can you control the world like this?"

The people around him had no doubts after hearing this, and even Wang, Chen and others immediately bowed and saluted to show their obedience.

"At that time, the mixed-race tribe that was the predecessor of the Great Zhou Dynasty came south from the sea of ​​suffering and worked hard to establish the system. It took a lot of effort and several generations to settle down in the three counties of northern Shanxi and changed its bloodline. But everyone knows that since then, there have been many changes in the dynasties.

It's already decided." Zhang Xing still had the attitude of knowing everything, as if he had gone back to the time when he and Li Ding were talking about shit in Dongdu when they were Wanhuhou. "This time the two families merge into one, it is actually similar."

"How is it similar?" Li Ding seemed really puzzled. "Don't say anything about the two of us joining forces to be invincible. Xie Minghe has scolded you clearly today. No matter how strong an individual is in front of everyone, he will be powerless, otherwise

How did I end up in this situation?"

"There is still something to say." Zhang Xing continued to hold his arm and blurted out the answer in the corridor, but he was speaking to the generals of the Wu'an army in the corridor. "For one thing, you, Li Silang, don't be too arrogant. It is right to follow the crowd.

Yes, but didn’t you just give up your personal life and follow the crowd today? You, a genius in the world, can rely on others and concentrate on military affairs. Secondly, if the two families merge into one, the most direct thing is that the situation in Hebei will change drastically. We

By solving the problem so quickly, others such as Xue, Luo and others may be caught off guard. The situation in Hebei may be settled quickly. Hebei's settlement will naturally affect the situation in the world. Thirdly, Li Silang, have you ever thought about one thing...

You are the first Guanlong noble species to join our gang with a full-fledged army and territory! This alone is enough to tell the world that the gang is no longer a group from the east, but wants to recruit the world's heroes to make a world-wide event!"

Li Ding was still pretending to be nonchalant before, but his expression changed when he heard the last thing. After a long time, he said: "What about the first one? Isn't Bai Sanniang a human?"

Zhang Xingben wanted to refute, but when he spoke, he realized that the matter had been settled. This was not the time when he was talking loudly all day long by the Dongdu Luo River, so he ignored it and said seriously: "Don't say it.

Now that this matter has been settled, it’s time to look at the current situation... Do you have any thoughts?"

Li Ding thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "It depends on the intelligence on the southern front. The situation is unclear now. It is better to follow the established strategy and let your people continue to the plains. However, you can go slightly south after crossing the Qingzhang River and get closer to Wuhan.

The area around Yang County is the best..."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xingzhuangruo was confused.

"Why pretend you don't know?" Li Ding sighed helplessly. "You may be a little bad at marching and setting up formations, but your talent for catching fighters is three points better than Bai Hengqiu and I... I know that the army does not know the hearts of the people.

, Bai Hengqiu knows the people but not the army, but you are able to take care of both... You are unmatched in the world! The current situation is that since the Wu'an army has surrendered to you and the Dongdu army has collapsed, then on the local battlefield from here to Dahe,

Even if the army has taken advantage of it, if you don't give chase and pretend that you have won this battle, and take the opportunity to win over people's hearts and regain the lost ground, you will definitely not be willing to do so."

"Li Silang is the one who knows me." Zhang Xing laughed, but immediately told the people around him solemnly. "Everyone, today's event is gratifying, but we are still in the war. We must take immediate measures. Li Longtou will

Standing next to me, I say a few things. If he doesn’t object, I’d like you all to do it... First of all, you need to help our troops... Who is the Gaodu Lieutenant of Gaoshi Province?"

A general hiding behind Zhang Shiniang turned around and faced him with his hands raised: "Chief Zhang."

But he glanced at Li Ding, who was looking diagonally upward.

"Please go back to Xiangguo County. Don't bring too many people with you. Three thousand people are enough. Then there are two things that have to work hard for you. One is that we have wounded people in the mainland. They are Zhou Xingfan, the leader of Zhou and Jia Runshi.

You must help me arrange the situation for those who are led by others; the other thing is that you should keep an eye on all aspects of Xiangguo's movements, and don't let the news leak out and attract the prying eyes of other families in Hebei." Zhang Xing gave serious instructions.

Coats wanted to save the matter, but he didn't respond directly and went to see Li Ding.

Li Ding's eyes were not on this person at all, but when he heard the voice pause, he knew what was going on. Then he followed Zhang Xing and lowered his head helplessly and sighed: "Follow Chief Zhang's wishes. You can't make people sick or hungry."

In the mainland Zeli."

Gao Shisheng was completely relieved, immediately handed over his orders, and then hurried away.

At this time, Zhang Xingfu looked around again.

Su Jingfang was swept away and immediately gave up.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing pointed directly at the person in front of him: "Su Duwei, please go there in person! Take the three thousand people of our army and some military supplies to catch up, meet the main force of our army, and then cross the river together to Wuyang. King Xiongtian

If Xu Dalang and others know that I am coming, send a scout to contact them, and they will know what I mean."

Su Mu agreed easily, but still took another look at Li Ding.

As soon as Su Mu left, Zhang Xing came to see Wang Chenxun and Su Jingfang again: "Deputy Commander Wang, you and Xiao Su stay here to appease the soldiers. Be sure not to let the matter leak out. At the same time, if intelligence comes from the south, be the first to do so."

Let Li Silang and I know the time, and Silang, Sisao, I, and I will sit here for a while."

This task, if Wang Chen looked at Li Ding in shock and waited for the latter to agree, would have seemed absurd, so he would have to give it up.

Turning around, seeing the entire Black Emperor Grand View come to life again, and looking at Xiao Su who was following behind him, Deputy Captain Wang couldn't help but sigh.

Moreover, as Wang Chenzuo was a member of Wang Chenkuo's clan and even the informant who defected to Bai Hengqiu, there was no doubt about Wang Chenkuo's political leanings.

However, Li Ding's previous warning to him and his own analysis also clearly made this Hebei native strongman and the pillar of the Wu'an Army realize that since he has become a part of the Li Ding-Wu'an Army group, and a pillar part, and

After surviving for a long period of three or four years, the political mark on him has become irreversible.

Even from a utilitarian point of view, only by following Li Ding can we achieve better results.

This awareness, coupled with the impact of the scale and outcome of this battle, including Xie Minghe's clear analysis of the situation and sincere persuasion, have actually made this politically flexible local military leader realize that some things are almost inevitable.

However, even so, Zhang Xing was able to handle Wu'an's army with ease... from Li Ding himself to his colleagues below who had slightly different stances... so it was still easy for Deputy Commander Wang to do so.

Feeling a little scared.

He was keenly aware that Li Ding was scary enough, but Zhang Xing was even scarier. He might have boarded a bigger, stronger, and more sticky pirate ship, and he might not be able to escape from it for the rest of his life.

But so what?

In troubled times, if you, a local tycoon, can get on the ship one after another, you are considered lucky. Then who is Gao Shizhan, Zhuge Yang, who is not better than yourself in terms of academic foundation and cultivation, where are they now?

Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and said that after Li Ding was surrendered, it was natural for the Wu'an Army to have ideological vacillations. Not to mention that it was just the random thoughts of the senior officers of the Wu'an Army, and it was normal for them to stage a mutiny and flee. Therefore,

Zhang Xing and Li Ding ignored them at all, and just sat on the porch to avoid the noon sun under the gaze of the disfigured Black Emperor.

Zhang Shiniang did not stay. She went to the county town next door at Li Ding's signal. Once they left, the remaining two people finally let go, and then they started chatting like they were chatting in the small courtyard of Dongdu that day... chatting.

"You abandoned the wounded and still kept them in such good order. They must be organized reinforcements. Where did they come from?" Li Ding was the first to ask.

"Beidi and Northern Shanxi." Zhang Xing made no secret. "There were five thousand cavalry in total, and then the troops were integrated, and the leather robes were torn to make them neat."

"It's still wrong." Li Ding thought for a moment and shook his head again. "The numbers are wrong. If you calculate it this way, including the wounded, you have almost 10,000 people. How could there be so many left after the intensity that night?"

"And Zhou Xingfan... Xiao Zhou, he was seriously injured, but he was lucky enough to meet Xu Dalang, and then they found Daluze together and joined us." Zhang Xing immediately added. "We arrived together as seven battalions."

Li Ding suddenly seemed to understand, but remained silent for a moment. After a while, he asked: "How is Xiao Zhou's injury?"

"I can only say that I can barely survive now." Zhang Xing responded quietly. "I didn't have time to think about it before, and I didn't want to think about it. Now I'm afraid that when this momentum passes, he will end up like Li Qingchen... Qian Tang said that Li Qingchen is barely alive.

, but no matter how hard it is to cultivate, the body gradually cannot support it, which in turn affects the mind... It is easier said than done when the body is disabled and the mind is strong? "

"It depends on his blood, but Xiao Zhou has always been stronger than Li Twelve Lang." Li Ding could only say this.

After a while, Li Silang spoke again: "Did you know that Li Shu didn't cross the river?"

Zhang Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "So what? Someone has to guard Henan, not to mention he is not good at leading troops, so Shan Tonghai is enough."

"The truth is correct, but Li Shu did not stay in Henan." Li Ding slowly shook his head. "I heard that he directly took the remaining troops and several new battalions he raised in Henan and went south.

.”

Zhang Xing, who had been laughing all day, or in other words, had been laughing non-stop since last night, finally fell silent. He didn't care at all who the "person" who was "listening" was, but after being silent for a long time

His tone became bleak: "It's troublesome!"

"Are you in trouble too?" Li Ding, who had been stern for two days, laughed instead.

"How can there be no trouble?" Zhang Xing said helplessly, as if he was pouring out his bitterness. "The most difficult and easiest thing in the world is the human heart. Before, Bai Hengqiu missed a single blow and had to force a siege. It was not just his military mistake.

Judgment, what's more important is that he is gambling on people's hearts. He is betting that when we are trapped, the people outside will be separated... I could have spent more time, but I gritted my teeth and stood out after smelling the fighter. I am also worried that people will be separated. Now.

People in Hebei are dangerously close to each other, but they are still not safe, and people's hearts are still fluctuating. Otherwise, why would they come to you in a hurry, and then pretend to be victorious to chase Bai Hengqiu? This is like this in Hebei, and in Henan, there is no way to share the pot.

He said, there are many outsiders such as the Huaixi Army, the Internal Service Army, and the Zhishi Army. This does not mean that these people have ulterior motives, but at least they are easy to misjudge the situation and make arbitrary decisions. Who will be responsible then?"

At this time, Li Ding actually calmed down a little and accepted the fact that he was being subjugated by the facts. After accepting it, he felt that he was a little rude before today and was not happy now, so he comforted him: "No matter what, do it first."

The matter at hand is to at least send Bai Hengqiu out of Hebei... The people I sent out are probably coming back soon. Whether Bai Hengqiu succeeded in Shan Tonghai and what the situation is is the key... I have asked your troops to go there.

Wuyang County is approaching, let's wait a little here so as not to delay things."

Zhang Xing nodded and couldn't help but ask: "The situation on the southern front is complicated and critical. Who did you send to report the letter? Why not let Xiao Su go?"

Li Ding looked slightly embarrassed: "The main reason is that Xiao Su has been in constant contact these days. Bai Hengqiu may have noticed it, and he is too tired, but he also has some selfish motives..."

"How to say?"
To be continued...
