Chapter 538: Anches (7)

When the sky was just dawn, there seemed to be a sea of ​​fog above Dongting Lake. It was the morning fog that had not subsided, and the sea of ​​fog was filled with smoke and fire. From a distance, it seemed that flames were trapped in the sea of ​​fog.

Countless birds cannot find a place to stay, so they can only fly around, which adds a lot of chaos to Dongting Lake.

This scene means that no matter how many accidents you encounter, the reinforcements led by Bai Yousi actually launched a general attack on the Dongting Lake rebels, which was theoretically the most troublesome among the Hunan rebels.

It also made Bai Sanniang complete the letter after the war and delivered it to Yecheng only after the autumn harvest.

When the letter was delivered, it happened to be in autumn rain in Yecheng. The autumn rain was not heavy and did not have much impact on the autumn income warehouse. However, it also caused the countryside to enter a hasty situation.

In fact, even Guanfengyuan had two stacks of straw at this time. This was not because Chief Zhang had to show his intimate relationship with agricultural production, but because there was a small stove in Guanfengyuan, which needed firewood. When Zhang Xing sat up Guanfeng Tower and opened the letter, the following was discussing whether to move the straw covers under the horse shed in the backyard.

It was said to be a discussion, but in fact, Yue Niang was as strong as ever and was just issuing orders. Qin Bao and Zhang Xing's cousin, Huai Niang, could only be someone who obeyed the orders.

After listening to the movement below for a while, Zhang Xing opened this thick letter from Tingfeng Tower:

"Sanlang Hui's name is like a face. The battle in Dongting Lake has been concluded. Zhang Fan was captured and killed, Xu Xuan surrendered, and the rest are still being wiped out.

As you said, Jiangnan has no masters and is also incompetent in refined troops. I am a master who is attached to the Huaiyou Alliance and Xuzhou Xingtai, and there is no one to stop him. However, before the Daying's troops arrived, the affairs of Jiangnan were not in the war, but in the hearts of the people... As far as I see, Jiangnan has its own ulterior motives.

Du Pozhen is also true as Sanlang said. Because of the difficulty of surviving young people, young people are extremely uneasy, they are determined to find the sense of security you said, and look at their words and deeds. They are all for this... It is for this reason to maintain semi-independence of the Huaiyou Alliance; it is for this reason to accept the conscripted soldiers; it is for this reason to suppress the elders of the Huaiyou Alliance; it is for this reason to contact the other parties as external vassals; it is for this reason to never turn against us.

So the current situation is that he knew that when I came to Jiangnan, he had the intention of falsely annexing the Huaiyou Alliance, but he refused to turn against him, and he refused to cooperate. He was always looking for opportunities to jump out.

And I thought that no matter how hard he tried, when Daying's troops arrived in the autumn, there would be no room for him to go, and he would have no choice but to make a final turn, and the general trend would not be allowed to do so. But we also need to be wary of him being lured by my father for huge profits, so it would be best to strengthen the infiltration of the Huaiyou Alliance... I suggest sending Li Zida's first battalion to Anlu, and then let him draw the first battalion commander and spearmen to go north.

In fact, Fu Boshi, Ma Sheng and others were worried. Fu Boshi told me that they had come out of the grassroots with Du Po Formation. After so many years, life, death, honor and disgrace were together, or hope that Du Po Formation would have a result in the gang."

When Zhang Xing saw this, he thought about it, picked up the charcoal pen and put brackets behind Fu Boshi, added Li Zida, Miao Hailang and others, hesitated for a while, wrote down the name Kan Ling, and then drew a circle.

Let’s talk about it, the Huaiyou Alliance was organized by Zhang Xing himself, and later it was set up as an outer vassal. He knew the path inside better than anyone else… The current situation is that there are Fu Boshi and Ma Sheng, who are obviously proactive in turning the Huaiyou Alliance into a second-ranked figure and a backbone of the navy, as well as Li Zida and Miao Hailang, who passively obey the gang because of their family background.

The only trouble is the ten thousand adopted soldiers.

Of course, the General Son Army cannot be called "the needle cannot be penetrated, but the General Son Army's commander Kan Ling is definitely a talented person, brave, resourceful, loyal, and strong-willed... If Du Pozhen is confused, pulls Kan Ling and mobilizes the General Son Army, it is very likely that something will cause trouble.

Of course, thinking this way is a bit wishful thinking, because Du Pozhen, who is ambitions who pursue a sense of security, will never let go of the eggshell of Huaiyou Alliance unless it is absolutely necessary. He cannot be more concerned about maintaining the unification of Huaiyou Alliance than those of Fu Boshi.

But since the plan has reached this level, we have to work harder on the direction that cannot be touched here. So Zhang Xingfu lowered his head and wrote a document proposal, a private note, which was opened separately, and then continued to read the letter:

"As for Jiangnan, there is a coexistence of dusk and endless grassland.

Xiao Hui and Cao Shiyu are the pillars of Nanliang, but they both have something to do. Both of them have something to ask for but have no idea. They act randomly in the dilemma, just like looking for fish from a tree.

Xiao Hui is actually quite talented. He knows some situations and knows that he has a good reputation. He can have made some achievements, but he can't forget his origin. He has regained his former title in Xiao Liang within a few years. He always wants to return to the past situation in one step and become a veritable king, emperor, and even the supreme land. But he himself has no foundation and has no capable confidant. He can only use his strength to fight and hope to achieve success by relying on his strength.

There is also Cao Shiyu, who has achieved his cultivation and is strong enough, but he is always unwilling to be the leader. He either wants to turn the sect into a country or wants to replace Xiao Hui. However, the former is an enemy of all Jiangnan people outside the True Fire Sect, and the latter is an enemy of all Jiangnan people including the True Fire Sect. He is afraid that he has fallen into obstacles and will not be able to go further in his life.

As for the princes in Hunan, there is no root under their feet and no clouds on their heads.

However, Lin Shiyang, although his actions were ridiculous and his plans were naive, he had some vitality because the rest of them were at the dead end... In my opinion, the surrendered people from Hunan obviously saw Lin Shiyang's clumsiness and guessed his thoughts. However, when he was defeated and helpless, he was unwilling to try to trust Cao Shiyu and Xiao Hui, but he could only pinch his nose and let him go.

This person's future situation may be better than we think.

In addition, when Sanlang asked about the hospital before, I can tell you clearly that there is no hospital... From Yangzhou to Jiangdong to Jiangxi and Hunan, there is no hospital, and even the Qianjin Monument is not managed."

Seeing this, Zhang Xing couldn't help but shake his head... He was not sad about the power of Cao Shiyu and the True Fire Sect, but thought that the hospital would be built sooner or later, just like a foundation-building school. Cao Shiyu is unwilling to build it now, so he will have to build it in the future... It's really troublesome.

In comparison, as far as Chief Zhang knows, Dongdu and Daying are old-fashioned, but hospitals are still allowed to be opened. Moreover, both families have implemented a strategy of forced foundation building without hesitation this year... In the words of the cheap father-in-law - "The way is different, but if they fight in war, they will not give in to each other even if they have any benefits or disadvantages."

But when I think about it this way, the size of the Jiangnan forces is clearly the chess player has become a chessboard.

Just as he was thinking, the sound in the yard below had gradually faded, and instead the smell of rain mixed with smoke from cooking. Zhang Xing choked his nose, then put away his mind, and looked at the next page:

"Sanlang, since I arrived at Dongting Lake, I became a little timid. As soon as Baling was captured, the island in the middle of the lake was controlled, but I was about to drag it to this letter before going up... These days, I looked at the sky, the moon and the lake, and often had some thoughts. Sometimes I felt that the Supreme was ruthless and played with mortals freely, which was abominable and abominable. If I had the opportunity in the future, I should have deposed several of them like the Lord of Swallowing Wind; sometimes I felt that it was just like the king arranged officials and the generals assigned soldiers, and some things were so natural that they could not be too harsh on them; and sometimes I just felt that the world was vast and life was short. Not to mention that we might not be able to take that step, we would have taken it. Like them, it seemed boring and boring. It would be better to disperse it into smoke and dust, clean and innocent.

I understand these thoughts in my heart, and especially if you want to step into the ranks of great masters, you must overcome these first so that you can be straightforward and unscrupulous... But this is also my true feelings, and it is definitely not a false... Moreover, sometimes when I think about it, I even feel a little pitiful to you. You are as hard as iron, and you seem to feel that everything must obey the great way. All friendship and reverie are just illusions in your mind. Even life and death are just dust flashing through this universe, and there is no need to lose a lot of fun?

Of course, perhaps as you said, it is the right way to recognize the materiality of the universe first, then enjoy emotions and cherish life and death, but if you reach that point, you may have to go back again."

The signature of the letter is a white character plus three strokes.

But after turning it over, I saw a line of words on the back of the last piece of paper of the letter:

"I am in Jiangnan and I see a lot of misty waves. If you are in Hebei, don't just go to build the river. You can replace it with the Majestic King, ride the horse in the wilderness, watch the wind blow around."

After reading the letter, Zhang Xing couldn't help but sigh... Many emotions surged, so he wanted to write a letter to reply to the other party immediately. Unexpectedly, he just picked up the charcoal pen, but he noticed some movement from afar. He looked down from a high point and found that Dou Lide, the commander of Youzhou Station who had just come to Yecheng to report his duties, came in person in the drizzle... He was carrying two bags of things in his hand, and his wife and children were following behind him, hindering his hands.

Those who don’t know thought it was the neighbor who visited him, but of course, those who know had to pinch their noses and recognize him. They were the neighbors who visited him.

After putting away the letter and sealing the few notes he wrote, Chief Zhang also walked downstairs and saw the other party enter the door from afar and smiled: "Dou Longtou, did you hear that I have a small stove here and come here specifically?"

Dou Lide settled in the door, his greased paper bag drooped, and then he laughed: "The chief will only accuse people of wrongdoing people. How can I not say that I was thinking of giving gifts as soon as I came back?"

As he said that, he lifted the two oil paper bags in his hand: "The persimmon cakes in the north and the golden silk dates in Youzhou."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Niang walked over and took it quickly. At the same time, he greeted Dou Xiaoniang behind him and asked if he would eat jujube cake... This was not that Yue Niang was very familiar with the other party. On the contrary, among the mother and daughter who followed him, Cao Xi was busy, but as the chief general manager, he was inevitably going to come and go. The female relatives and female officials in the palace city always talked about her and regarded her as a role model. Yue Niang came to live in Yecheng Palace for a long time and was familiar with her. However, Dou Xiaoniang knew that this was a rare female general in the army, but she had never been seen... However, Yue Niang could see clearly that Dou Longtou pretended to be a familiar door-to-door appearance. In fact, her body was tight, and her wife and daughter behind her were obviously a little embarrassed about his behavior and could not cooperate for a while. Especially Dou Xiaoniang was thin-faced, and she became more ashamed when she saw her father's posture, so Yue Niang stepped forward to greet him.

How to say it? After so many years, her personality has been as always, always like the girl who helped her father sell buns at the door of the shop.

However, any Jingjiehu could eat her family's food for no money, but now even a tyrant like Dou Lide has to bring gifts to eat the food she cooks.

In this way, Dou Lide's family came in. Yue Niang was as determined, so she set up a table under the corridor, and placed the persimmon cakes brought by the other party, and put the golden silk dates into the porridge. In a moment, a few side dishes were put on and two bottles of wine. As soon as everyone was seated, she asked Dou Xiaoniang to help carry out a tray of freshly cooked white flour buns.

Yue Niang's "noise master to seize the guest" obviously interrupted Dou Lide's casting strip. He was stunned for a while and waited for everyone to have a meal together. Seeing Zhang Xing's nephew who had just run away, he took the steamed bun to the backyard to look for the two dragon foals. Then he recovered and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhang Xing who was sitting next to him.

"I thought you would come just by the day." Zhang Xing took the wine and took a sip and put it down. "The autumn harvest in Youzhou should be one ten years later than that in Yecheng, right?"

"It's not like this." Dou Lide immediately became energetic. "Youzhou is divided into mountains and plains. The mountains are much larger than the plains, but the autumn grain is much less than the plains... Moreover, the autumn harvest in the plains is not much different from that in Yecheng. The valleys in the mountains are about one-day. I got out after I got the autumn grain in the plains."

"I see."

"Chief Zhang..." Dou Lide paused, raised his glass and stopped to ask. "Since I came from Youzhou, I have to ask, why can't the mulberry water be repaired? Our Youzhou family can do our own efforts, and we don't even need to step on the white riding."

"It's not that I can't practice it." Zhang Xing waved his hand and then pinched a steamed bun in his hand. "I'm afraid that all the people will rush forward and rush forward... In this case, at least it will abuse the people's power. If you think too much, in order to show me the merits, you will force me to practice what you shouldn't practice, and it may cause floods... So, except for Cheng Dalang, who is a local local area in the downstream of Jishui, who is over-the-top local and slightly credible, I dare not delegate power to the rest. In fact, Dou Longtou should also see that I don't like to mess around. The reason why I have to force some things is that one has to do, and the other is to bypass other things."

Dou Lide took a sip and nodded again: "This is the truth. Chief Xiuhe actually doesn't want to start a war immediately... But Chief, I have something to say, have you ever thought that if we don't do anything, the people behind us will not have the will to do it? We have crawled out of the dead, and have all been bullied by the Violent Wei. We have seen the collapse of the Violent Wei and saw the collapse of the Violent Wei and thousands of miles away from the naked land. So we know how hard-earned the situation is now, so we know to be polite to manpower, to benefit the people, and to know that if we don't make a solid foundation, it will collapse in the future... What about the young people who will come later? Now there are newborn children everywhere in the palace. They were born in such a prosperous city in Yecheng. It would be nice to know that the steamed buns came out of those straws. Why do you take the initiative to think about paving the road and building the river? It would be great if you don't build a palace."

"There is no need to be so worried about this matter." Zhang Xing smiled. "Because it just can't be changed... So think about it the other way around, let's do our own things and try to teach them as much as possible."

"The key is to do it first." Dou Lide got to the point without hesitation. "Chief, your worries are right. Once you let go, you will definitely rush forward, but you can't do it alone. I, Dou Lide, are not an ignorant and fearless person, and you can do it..."

Speaking of this, questioning others is to dispel the enthusiasm for revolution. What else can Zhang Xing say, so he had to laugh dryly and nod immediately: "What Dou Longtou said makes sense. You will prepare a proposal, and I will definitely support the Fengshentai Conference in three days."

Dou Lide received the promise and was not happy with the expression, nor did he take the opportunity to ask for more. He just talked about gossip while eating... From the need to expand the Thunder Daoling Channel and the Bohai Pier in the Northland, to the inspection and land equalization of fields in Youzhou, and even where his daughter's winter wedding was held.

Moreover, he does not blindly show how firm his revolutionary stance is, and he also means complaining and complaining, especially when he is staring at his three-person scattered in three places, he seems to be showing off.

There was no mention of Liu Heiba ​​throughout the whole process, nor did the County Captain Gonggao who stole the horse.

It can be seen that Dou Lide was a person who was a big figure in the gang. This time, he broke away from the original Hebei rebel army. When he came to Youzhou to take charge, he made some progress. His vision became wider, his figure became softer, and his mind became more stable.

In comparison, Yecheng is bustling with great travel platforms, and Chen Bin is narrow-minded and has not yet grown up... However, Xie Minghe, who is in the same mood as him, has grown up a lot. The key is that his attitude has gradually changed. He is willing to do things and is willing to do help as his own career. He no longer has the previous sense of alienation of "I will help you".

As for Xiong Bonan, Wei Xuanding, and Xu Shiying, they all have the temperament. They cannot be considered to have made progress, but they are also deeply cultivating and taking the lead.

It is impossible to say whoever is regressing.

After a meal, Zhang Xing watched the other party’s family of three leave. Yue Niang chased her out and gave Dou Xiaoniang a new saddle that was temporarily tied up in red satin. She was worried that the other party would directly hold a wedding in the north, so there would be no chance to congratulate her.

Dou Xiaoniang was naturally grateful, so Qin Bao had to buy another pair of saddles in the afternoon and come back.

In this way, in the next few days, the weather was clear and Yecheng did not appear, but the Xinggong was much busy because a large number of local officials began to report on the autumn harvest and the criminal law case sentences of the previous year, money and grain expenditures, storage balances, etc.

In order, it is roughly the ones from Henan who came first, but the clerks and soldiers in the palace also noticed that several leaders in the north had arrived, obviously in order to catch up with the regular meeting of Fengshentai held in early August.

Of course, there is no ceremony for the so-called regular meeting, but the leaders gathered together and discussed in front of the chief, the specific things must be executed immediately, and the grander meeting is not reasonable to be passed by the end of the year, so naturally there is a feeling of being determined.

In fact, the Tunfengtai, which had just been built, has already become a name comparable to the southern yamen under the original Great Wei system.

That’s right, the Great Wei is a little bigger, but the Great Wei has more than the Southern Ya. The Ming Dynasty and the Gang Ke only have one Fengtai.

"Do you want to learn to name a name in the foundation-building school?" Zhang Xing saw a few more people, so he rarely joked.

"Let's record it on the record." Wei Xuanding cooperated with the response. "We don't usually speak, but the several documents have personally arranged the list first... Chief Zhang Xing?"

"Here." Zhang Xing raised his hand to deal with it, his voice loud and he was still able to make jokes.

"Forget it!" Wei Xuanding couldn't control himself. "The chief is below, all five leaders of Daxingtai are here. Dou Lide, Shan Tonghai, Niu Da, Wu Jingfeng, and Hong Changya are here... a total of ten people. In addition, Wang Shuyong, Xu Shiren, and Zhou Xingfan are not yet formally appointed, but according to the chief's wishes, they come to discuss matters together, but they can't raise their hands to vote, and they are all listed now... These are the thirteen people."

"That is, the four Duke Yin, Li Longtou, Du Pozhi, and General Manager Bai were not here, right?" Chen Bin came to ask after a while. "Mainly, Li Longtou didn't come?"

"Li Longtou said that he was in the Northland training troops and was very busy." Zhang Xing said. "He also said that as long as he did not remove his position, he would not come back."

Many people frowned slightly around the big table on the Swallowing Wind Platform.

"I think this is not good." Zhou Xingfan, who was sitting on the back of Zhangshui, blurted out. "I always acted uniquely. After a long time, I really thought I was different!"

"No," Xiong Bonan said solemnly. "Chief, I know you are protecting him and letting him concentrate on the things in the north, but it's always like this, and you have to give birth to yourself without any rift..."

"You are right." Zhang Xing admitted his mistake very quickly, but he just refused to change. "But I still thought I should ensure that Li Longtou's priority in the North... I asked me to say that during winter, the King of Heaven might as well take the initiative to go to the North and inspect the North and assist the North. Xu Dalang doesn't have to go, and the military affairs here should be strictly rectified."

Xiong Bonan paused for a moment and nodded in recognition of the plan.

However, Wang Shuyong had a strange idea. At this time, he saw that Xiao Yu, the leader of the on-duty document, had already led several young documents to write quickly, but he was a little surprised: "Do you start recording now?"

"Of course." Dantong Hairan said with great pride. "From entering this room, everyone will be selfless."

Even though Uncle Wang was known as the bravest army in the army, his face tightened at this time, and he became as honest as Xu Shiren, who had been watching his eyes and nose since he came in.

The rest of the people were a little awesome when they were yelled by Dan Longtou, and they all took their seats.

Moreover, after taking the seat, the ten leaders and three temporary leaders were all a little confused and became cold for a moment.
To be continued...
