In November, as an obvious cold current blew violently from the Bohai Bay into Bohai County, the ground in Hebei became freezing cold for a while. The rivers were frozen as promised, and the traffic flowed smoothly. We took advantage of this opportunity to help the troops who stayed in the east and were originally scheduled to go north.

The materials and troops finally arrived in Hebei.

Let’s also say that from a political perspective, Zhang Shiyu’s surprise in the previous battle at Leling was certainly worthy of praise. Zhang Xing’s last words were certainly an opportunity to brag about his military exploits, but they were by no means a case of peace.

Correspondingly, from a military point of view, this battle is a bit lackluster. It can only be said that it solved the siege of Leling and defeated the soldiers of Bohai County and several thousand Hejian troops in the rear. Moreover, it was a rout, and the prisoners were really hard to come by.

many.

However, the previous battle on the plains was a particularly brilliant one, and it really shocked the world, so there is no need to worry about it. Therefore, the army's hasty march north was really a good start, and it was not an ordinary good start.

Next, the Hebei rebels all put their heads out, eager to try, ready to see how these people could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and sweep away the counties. They were also prepared to win a piece of territory by waving their flags in the process.

However, what Mr. Zhang and his gang did next was shocking. They actually did not fight a single battle, including Wudi and Rao An, who were right under their eyes. They did not touch them. They only stopped at Leling, and

The control area was limited to one-third of the Bohai Sea and one-third of the plains previously occupied by Gao Shitong, which is a triangular control area north of Douzigang.

So what have you been doing these days before the river froze?

The heroes of Hebei can only say that they have really seen the characteristics of "many gangs" in the rumors in the world.

Just a meeting!

Seven or eight meetings were held in more than ten days!

It was held in Leling, and then transferred back to Ban County to continue! After the general meeting, there was a small meeting, and after the general meeting, there was a branch meeting. They just talked and talked about the truth! The meeting made the heads of the tycoons in Hebei numb, and the truth was explained

The faces of these men who survived the bloody storm turned pale!

You are under the eaves, so you have to lower your head. In addition, they have just wiped out the elite of the Hejian camp and relieved Leling.

Deeply understand the spiritual attitude.

What meetings were held?

The first wave of meetings was in Leling. It was a general meeting. All the heroes of Hebei Province, with their own names and surnames, went to listen. They talked over and over again for those people, and they only talked about one thing, that is, the unrighteousness of the Wei Dynasty, the rise of the rebel army, and the Gang is the leader of the rebel armies in the world. This is

It is recognized by the world that Marshal Gao of the Hebei Rebel Army has already been recognized in Dengzhou. If you don’t believe it, ask Marshal Gao. Jiang Zhun’s Rebel Army also recognized him. Fu Boshi and his thousand Huaixi long swords are displayed here; Nanyang Rebel Army also recognized him.

Okay, Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang are sitting here. Therefore, the people who came to help cross the river are internal affairs of the rebel army. They are here to support their subordinates, not to seize the territory. Anyone who cares about the two families should get out.

In a word, everyone should have a big picture.

To be fair, this meeting was held so well that everyone could actually understand that the core of the gang was originally a member of the Eastern Border, and suddenly went north and crossed the border. It was justifiable and so on. It had to be sorted out. The superiors of the rivers and lakes had to ask about their seniority and age.

, everyone understands. The second wave will be held in Ban County, and this one did not exceed the expectations of the heroes of Hebei.

It was to help the group put on a posture. The big bosses were inside. The bosses were making noises through the door. They filled the position of the big boss with the tall and handsome man in a decent manner, and then the tall and handsome man, who had been invisible for a long time, but

Sun Xunzhi, the leader of the Pingyuan Rebel Army who is still influential, also added a leader, plus Uncle Hao Yide, who was the most powerful among the many rebels who stayed in Hebei before, Master Dou Lide, who has made great achievements this time, and Dou Lide, who is the first to open the door.

Fan Wang, Fan Da, who was the first to submit, and a man named Zhuge Dewei, who was said to be a frequent contact between Gao Dashuai and the gang, were also given the title of leader.

At this point, it can be considered that Hebei heroes have officially joined the gang.

However, this logical resolution caused a lot of shock within the gang, because even though there were clear words before, it was clear that Zhang Xing and Wei Xuanding had the right to hold relevant resolutions after crossing the river, but for the first time, another person

In the absence of the big leader, directly deciding to appoint a big leader, five leaders, etc., can't help but make people wonder.

But this is not over yet. In the next few days, it will be open

It smells bad and grows longer.

Meetings were held to reorganize the troops, place prisoners, distribute winter clothes, and collect firewood. Meetings were held when people came and meetings were held when people left. What was said in the meetings was copied and posted there. It is said that there was also a meeting about fighting against the Wei Dynasty.

Print out the toys and give them to this person and that person.

That’s not to say I’m completely opposed to it. For example, when reorganizing the army, in addition to selecting those who are strong and have martial arts skills, we also need to ask several members of the family whether they have any grudges against the government and the army, and how much suffering they have suffered in the past two years...

If you have bitterness and hatred, say it in public... And once these words are said, Hebei people can basically hear them. Who has had it easy in the past two years? But if this directly affects the future future, for example, those who are obviously related to the army

Damn it, those who have suffered a lot in the past two years have been directly organized into teams to serve as regular soldiers. Some of them were confused and were sent to the other side saying that they were preparing to farm. Naturally, some people couldn't help but make it up, and they were discovered.

Meetings were held again to criticize, and they even had to be kicked out in the middle of winter. Gradually, many good guys became impatient, and soon some complaints came out. They said that the gang members had missed a good opportunity and would not take it even in the empty city. They just held meetings here.

"Where do you dislike meetings? And where do you dislike us for not expanding? We are simply afraid of being reorganized." On this day, the cold wind stopped slightly and the air-conditioning was still there. In the simple wood camp in the south of Ban County, the daily morning routine was going on.

At the meeting, when someone mentioned this matter, Chief Wei Xuanding sneered and said on the spot: "But if this is the case, I just dispersed. It's not like I didn't go directly to Hongshan to join Wang Huchen without my whole body. Why do I still stay here for the meeting?"

?”

"Who knows? Maybe it's because he's afraid of the cold." Yan Qing, who was sitting at the bottom, said with a smile, causing many leaders from the east to laugh together. However, the newly joined leaders from Hebei didn't look good.

This question was raised by Dou Lide.

To put it bluntly, who doesn’t know who? It’s winter, it’s freezing cold, and as long as the higher-ups have made a decision not to go out to fight for the time being, there’s nothing else to do, so when does it matter when to hold a meeting? If this counts,

In the past two years, I was killed by the army and flowed with blood. I had to go to the swamps and mountain cols to eat river mussels and field mice. At this time last year, it didn't matter if dozens of them froze to death in one night.

In essence, the meeting of these days is just different from the meeting of the previous few days. The meeting of the previous few days was to decide who would be the leader of these counties. The meeting of the previous few days was to decide who would be the helmsman of these counties.

Brothers, those big leaders who have a sense of oppression are going back to welcome the supplies sent from the other side, and naturally they are all enthusiastic; but now, they are actually reorganizing their troops. The Bohai Navy, Pingyuan Army and the New Rebel Army have all been dispersed.

Select the elite and reorganize them according to the gang version of "Six Tao".

Moreover, the reorganization was very intensive. Originally there were more than hundreds of thousands of people. Gao Shitong's family first chose 60,000 to 70,000 to go to Leling, but the gang was only willing to retain about 20,000 in the end. Most of them were to be converted to farming on the spot.

Yes, skilled craftsmen have also been specially gathered to prepare to start work on a piece-by-piece basis.

In fact, for the lower-level soldiers, they are just asking for a fire in the winter. This kind of thing does not matter, but for these leaders, it is basically equivalent to touching their lifeblood.

It would be weird if this didn't make trouble.

The new leaders in Hebei were naturally worried.

After a long pause, it was Dou Lide again. He looked at Zhang Xing who was sitting on the table drinking cold water. He thought for a while and then seriously asked the question again: "Longtou, we actually know this matter in our hearts. It is indeed not a matter of the meeting, but

Many rebels are dissatisfied with the reorganization... they not only feel that there are too few combat soldiers left, but also feel that the band of brothers who are like life and death brothers are unwilling to be broken up."

"Indeed, some things need to be made clear." Zhang Xing, who was sitting above, thought for a while and put down the cold tea.

"My idea is very simple... we have to break it up and reorganize it, and only select 20,000 people. Those who are not convinced and want to leave will be sent out of the country as gifts. There will be no force, but we can't force or hook up with others to leave, and

In the future, don’t expect to use the banner of the rebels again. Next time you meet them, you have to look at their behavior. If they do something bad, they will be beaten to death and executed. If they rob the city and block our way, they will be defeated by the enemy. This is also

Rules you can’t escape.”

The simple barracks with the brazier burning and the chimney suddenly fell silent.

Obviously, the test produced the most direct result, and the leader's reply was very tough.

"That's how it is." Wei Xuanding spoke proudly and turned around and said, "We can

The situation in the East Territory relies on following rules, having opinions, and relying on organization... This is our magic weapon, and it is also our foundation... Let me tell you, not only should the black sheep leave early, but if there are people who really want to stay,

And I thought I was going to do my own thing, so I'll kill him if I should! Let Leader Liu handle it, and deal with it according to military law by colluding with foreign enemies!"

Zhang Xing nodded: "That's good."

As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the Eastern Territory who had been laughing and joking before became completely honest. Liu Zhouchen immediately stood up and formally walked away from the table and handed over his hands: "I have an order." After the military judge sat back down, the barracks was completely empty.

There was no sound, but Zhang Xingfu looked at Dou Lide again with a look of dust on his face: "Chief Dou, since you have noticed something wrong in the army, and you don't want to bother the two masters, it is up to you to go back and tell them...

Make it clear to those people that if you want to leave, you really won’t be stopped, but you must keep your winter clothes. For those things, I even made the female officials around the queen # to make clothes. It’s not something that falls from the sky. It’s not nice to say

Yes, there is no other rebel army in the world that can prepare tens of thousands of winter clothes on its own, even if it has a territory. Also, if you want to leave, you must leave before the next sentence of this month. If it is too late, it will be Leader Liu's problem.

.”

Dou Lide was silent for a moment, then stood up and said yes with his hands in his hands.

After Dou Lide sat down, Hao Yide stood up again and raised his hands and asked: "Dragon head, dare I ask again, how much of the reorganized tribes can be allocated to the original leader?"

"No matter how many there are, they will only be distributed fairly according to the status within the gang." Zhang Xing answered seriously, "The big leaders will each retain two hundred personal guards and one hundred leaders, and the rest of the tribe will be distributed as evenly as possible according to the types and numbers of the troops."

Some... What I want to do is to form an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people. In addition to military judges like Liu leader Xiang, personnel officers like Yan Qing, and local officials who serve as retainers, the other leaders who lead the troops,

There are about 20 or 30 people, each with about 2,000 people, but in addition to the main headquarters, the big leader also has a corresponding leader to do permanent coordination."

At this point, Zhang Xingfu looked at Fu Boshi again: "Commander Fu, for example, your Huaixi Changsao soldiers are very effective. Of course they will not be scattered, but we will arrange for you a thousand more soldiers or crossbowmen.

Or mix troops to serve as wings."

Fu Boshi's expression remained unchanged, but judging from the frequency of his nodding, he was very excited inside.

At this time, the camp became quiet again, and many people were quickly settling accounts. The leaders of the Hebei Rebel Army, who had just become leaders after crossing the river, almost immediately raised their eyebrows, and even Dou Lide kept a straight face and remained silent.

Without him, according to this arrangement, they got a big advantage. No one thought that their three to five thousand people were worth the Dragon Gang's main army. Especially after they had just experienced the battle in the plains and saw the army coming out when they were returning.

That kind of marching army received a copy of "Six Tao" when they arrived in Ban County. They have realized that the army is not the same as their own unruly troops.

Even the many leaders who came from the Eastern Territory fell into a kind of silence after a little calculation. Not to mention those like Fu Boshi who made a lot of money, most people actually did not suffer any loss, and even the general

There are more troops... because after all, there are 20,000 more troops. It can only be said that Zhang Longtou took advantage of the situation after crossing the river to increasingly centralize power. This is considered an exchange. The so-called reorganization and exchange of troops, so who suffers the loss?

The answer is that the Hebei rebel leaders who did not enter the venue and did not become leaders actually lost their military power and became the prey of others. Otherwise, how could they cause trouble?

As for Zhang Xing's method, everyone is well aware that it is very simple, just pull and dial, hit a stick and give a red date.

It's vulgar, has no technical content, and has no heroic spirit, but it is useful. At least after eating the dates, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became very harmonious.

"I'll try my best to talk..." Dou Lide's expression remained as usual, but he was much more serious and sincere in his expression, "But I don't have enough prestige. If Hao Da... Leader Hao, Leader Gao Da, Leader Sun, all of them go and talk together,

There are probably a lot of people below who are willing to obey, and I think they can suppress it." Hao Yide, Fan Wang and others nodded immediately, among them Zhuge Dewei nodded the fastest, he had already become a short seller before.
