Chapter 250 Walking (18)(1/3)
., Update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
When Bai Hengqiu's figure appeared on the chessboard in the sky, the Taiyuan army fell into a state of complete excitement and joy that was almost equal to victory.
This is their confidence, the source of their courage in this battle, and the fundamental reason why they are willing to follow orders and come to Hebei... For this Taiyuan recruiting army, coming to Hebei is completely against their wishes.
The children of the Guanlong clan are more eager to go to Kansai than anyone else, and the lower-level recruiters in Jin are also eager to fight with tangible results, instead of working hard for more than ten days just to come to Hebei to make trouble and then immediately turn around and go to Kansai.
.
However, they still came, quickly, even at a lightning speed, and once they arrived, without any sufficient equipment preparation, they did not hesitate to plunge into a battle where they did not have the upper hand after only one day.
During the whole process, including witnessing the troops lighting up the formation, including the failure of single-on-one combat, and including the frustration of several attacks, the whole process seemed so resolute, the morale was so high, and there was no intention of retreating. This was essentially the reason.
It's because of Bai Hengqiu's existence.
Let us also say that since the Three Expeditions, the world has been in chaos for three and a half years. From the perspective of the Jin Dynasty, the so-called troubled times may be advanced by another half a year, that is, from the beginning of the siege of Yunnei four years ago.
But whether it was three and a half years or four years, during this period, there were countless rebels and separatist armies. By the time of this year's New Year, the only things the Wei court could actually control were Jiangdu and Dongdu.
Just two core points.
As for the whole of southern Guanxi and Bashu that have not been touched by the Wu clan, it is better to say that it is in a state of ownerlessness rather than being under control.
Among so many rebels and warlords, Bai Hengqiu is the most dazzling and outstanding one from any angle.
In terms of family background, although the Bai family has been suppressed repeatedly, it is still one of the most powerful families in the world. Especially under the premise that the Wei Dynasty, with Guanlong as its foundation, controls the world, the Bai family, which has been dormant for decades but still has a single family, is even more important.
highlighted;
In terms of personal qualifications, although Zhang Xing just despised his father-in-law for never having lost a battle, he was actually the second son's hard-working father-in-law and had rich experience in military and government affairs;
In terms of territory and strength, he was a gangster who was beaten to death. He worked carefully and spent more than three years to acquire more than a dozen counties in Henan and Hebei. He was appointed as the left-behind man in Taiyuan four years ago and calmly collected ten counties in Jin.
The troops, horses, money, food and talents of the five counties;
Not only that, but what makes people feel that this British prince has his destiny is that just more than ten days ago, when Taiyuan launched an army, Bai Hengqiu publicly demonstrated his cultivation as a great master.
In fact, he almost certainly has a grand master ally, and another grand master who is close to the world seems to have chosen to acquiesce to him.
In other words, as soon as Bai Hengqiu joined the army, he had the most political support, the broadest future space, and the highest level of violent means. Therefore, everyone thought that following him would have a future, and no one thought that following him would be a promising future.
You can still lose a war.
There is a political future out there, so what if we fight a battle that we cannot lose, even if it takes a little more work and pays a certain price?
In fact, not only the Taiyuan Army, but even those who knew what was going on in the army became more uneasy and frightened the moment Bai Hengqiu took off. They were less proud and arrogant than usual...
As for the lower-level sergeants who did not have a clear understanding of combat power, they felt a little relieved after Xiong Bonan jumped up with the big flag.
But the overall atmosphere was still tense, which was in sharp contrast to the cheers and exhilaration of the Taiyuan Army. It was like glow against ice.
At this time, Zhang Xing, as the commander of the first army and the base builder of the large formation, should have cheered up and prepared for the attack, preparing to withstand the blow and maintain the final resistance. However, he was accustomed to having random thoughts during battles.
At this critical moment, he suddenly thought of a strange question.
That is, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have never used a compass to find his way home. At least, he didn't have a strong idea to do so that lasted for a long time.
Why?
After Bai Hengqiu "landed" on the chessboard in the sky, the chessboard made of glow began to thicken and began to glow... It was a glow that was a mixture of gold, silver and red, and was not very dazzling.
But it appears thick and solid.
Then, slowly, visible to everyone's naked eyes, the huge chessboard began to press down.
There was already unnatural frost on the general stage. Zhang Xing sat there and clearly felt some kind of oppression on the formation under his feet, but he remained silent and did not even look up to see the scene.
He was still thinking about that strange question.
That's how he is, he always thinks randomly at the most critical moments.
However, it seems very simple to answer this question. No concluding words are needed. Just sort out the relevant psychological process of the time traveler in this world for six years:
There is no doubt that I was afraid of danger at the beginning. Facing the world where gods and real dragons exist, and facing the situation of encountering real dragons as soon as I time travel, the wise move is to temporarily avoid the sensitive issue of time travel itself and save time.
He was so confused that he died... If you think about it carefully, you will know that it was only two years ago that he, Zhang San, dared to look at the stars seriously and began to guess and confirm some weird and mysterious things, which he had always kept away from before.
However, as time goes by, this reason becomes weaker and weaker, because there are more and more desperate things. No matter how scared you are, it is just a life. You are used to life and death, so why should you care about this matter?
danger?
Don’t you dare to look at the stars in the end?
Ever since, things have changed, especially after Zhang Xing used the compass to fight for his life again and again. He could no longer use the compass for fear of death.
So where did this change begin?
Zhang Xing instantly thought of the time he left the team during the Third Expedition three and a half years ago. On his way out of the Dengzhou camp to go to Wu'an, he took the initiative to use the compass without any danger. The compass guided him back to where he came from.
When he arrived at the first village he encountered in this world, he spent half a day cutting grass in that deserted village, and then without hesitation, he rode his yellow gelding back to the Dengzhou Camp, trying to do something earth-shattering.
In the end, he indeed walked away on horseback by the Gushui River, turned around and looked for Xu Dalang, the powerful men from his hometown in the Eastern Qi Dynasty who were most harmed by the Three Expeditions, and rebelled wholeheartedly.
This is the turning point.
Before this, Zhang San acted based on personal needs, but after that, he had a so-called career, and everything was tied to this gang and this rebel cause.
Moreover, this is not only a comprehensive turning point in my behavior and thoughts in this world, but also a turning point in other people's attitudes towards me, such as the three closest people in the Dengzhou camp that day, Sisi, Qin Bao and the others who have already
Xiao Zhou, who led his troops in a fierce battle on the front line, had obvious changes in their attitudes.
Before that, Sisi, as the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, was recognized as a powerful figure in the world, with a distinguished status and a bright future. Although she and she had experienced many things together and gradually gained a common consciousness, they still played the role of the superior in some matters.
To dissuade, suppress, and stop Zhang San from going berserk; Qin Bao and Xiao Zhou used to be followers, brothers, and learners. Although there were obviously things that were wrong, they often chose to obey due to their status.
But after this incident, Sisi expressed her final recognition of herself, and finally chose to leave Dongdu and Taiyuan to temporarily stand with herself; but Qin Bao seemed hesitant and conservative, and fell behind; as for Xiao Zhou
, on the contrary, it is simple and direct.
Xiao Zhou is right in front of you, what about the other two people? Where are they?
Frankly speaking, Zhang Xing regretted letting Bai Yousi serve as the reserve team, and even more regretted not retaining Qin Bao.
However, he regretted many things.
Turning back to the front of my eyes, these thoughts were spinning in my mind quickly and slowly. By this time, the Taiyuan Army had obviously received new instructions and launched a new round of all-out offensive amid cheers.
For a time, the four battalions of Xu Shiying, Wang Shuyong, Niu Da, and Xu Shiren were fully engaged, including the cavalry of Zhou Xingfan's cavalry who sent reinforcements. They also encountered a large-scale counterattack. Only the Jia Yue battalion at the rear was not attacked.
Zhang Xing was condescending and scanned the battle situation on all sides. He suddenly realized that this was Bai Hengqiu playing chess. He wanted to press the entire army to force out the flaws and then make corresponding moves. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the figure in the sky.
The human figure, and what makes people even more nervous is that at this time, the golden glow on Bai Hengqiu's side is getting stronger and stronger, and a golden "chess piece" is slowly condensing.
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses and looked at it from a distance again, the golden chess piece had actually been compressed and formed, but it was still several feet wide. Not only that, the silver color of the glowing energy represented the big moon.
The true energy also began to gather quickly.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Zhang San saw the opponent's figure wrapped in true energy reflected on the chessboard in the sky, looking like both a chess player and a chess piece.
Bai Hengqiu jumped up half an hour before dark, then launched a general attack, and then started to play the chess pieces. He followed the steps step by step, pressing forward step by step, as if he wanted to leave no stone unturned and give the army a real big victory.
But Zhang Xing was helpless... indeed there was nothing he could do. Apart from the most basic attack using the power of the Zhenqi formation, he didn't have many countermeasures, not even like Xiong Bonan.
Roll up the flag.
God knows when he will be able to meditate and what he will meditate on?
The difference in cultivation level is too big.
Therefore, as Bai Hengqiu firmly made the chess pieces, Zhang Xing, who was in a helpless situation, inexplicably began to wander again.
I thought about the turning point three and a half years ago, but what happened after the turning point? Why didn’t you think about going home after the turning point?
The answer seems to be very clear. He, Zhang San, has a career to pursue. He has been rebelling. In order to rebel, he established a gang. However, the gang's cause of rebellion has never been in a proper situation. It has always been on the verge of collapse.
Internally, we are engaged in organizational building from beginning to end, trying to unite a group of people with mixed backgrounds and no political ideas and cognition, but the risk of falling apart is always there.
Even at the moment, Zhang Xing dare not say who of the five battalion commanders on Plum Blossom Petals can be completely trusted!
There are constant wars externally, and every attempt to expand the living space will usher in a life-and-death battle... The Battle of Lishan is almost equivalent to winning by rolling in the mud, and it will be as embarrassing as it is; Ma Lian River
The first battle was the easiest, but it also left Xue Changxiong unable to integrate Hebei and people were dissatisfied with his fate. As for now, the chessboard above your head is being pressed down. Has the second silver chess piece taken shape?
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
Zhang Xing looked above his head and suddenly smiled and muttered... Did he not think about going home because of such a great reason as wanting to make a change in the world?
Isn’t this considered selfless?
However, it was from here that Zhang Xing opened his mind, realized his gaffe, and realized why he thought of this problem at this time.
To put it simply, he has a guilty conscience. He is not questioning the gang's achievements, but feels that he is not worthy of the current career, and is afraid that he is not a hero... Just six years ago, he was just a typist on the keyboard.
Trash, why do you want to become a hero now?
And if he, Zhang San, is not a hero, why should he block the person above him who is obviously a native hero of this world?
Is Bai Hengqiu a hero?
Maybe not, but he can definitely be called a hero or a yin hero. At this moment, watching the third red chess piece condense successfully again, and listening to the shouts of killing like a tsunami around you, considering the current predicament, you can
Question his morality and his ideas, but it is difficult to question his strength, strategy and decision-making.
So again, what if you are not a hero?
To be continued...
