Chapter 300 Tiger Row (1)

After the Chinese New Year, the weather began to recover on time and without haste, and the temperature began to rise slowly. It is conceivable that the warming and thawing will occur during the first month, and by then the big rivers and the Bohai Sea will be covered with broken ice, and the fields will also be covered. The melted snow was soaked in water.

Next, it is natural to start plowing and spring plowing from south to north.

And if counted by spring plowing, Zhang Xing has been in this world for four full years, and will soon enter the fifth year, and soon summer will enter the third year of his anti-thief career.

The scholar rebelled, but it failed in three years, and Zhang Xing rebelled, but it seemed that the progress was too fast in three years.

It was too fast indeed.

Especially in the life after the rebellion, there is always a feeling of being pushed away... If he had followed the original plan, he should have just crossed the river at this time, and he might not even have encountered the first battle.But now, the rebel army who came across the river has already completed the battle of gaining a foothold, and is fully reorganized, ready for a new test.

But how?The situation is not forgiving, who is not being pushed away?

"Feng Gong." In the main hall of the General's Mansion in Hejian County, Xue Changxiong, the chief of the Great Wei Hebei Army, who sat at the top, looked at the light coming in from the door, and looked at the old man in the seat in front of him with a little uneasiness. In response to the sound, he moved his feet in full military uniform, and even rubbed a lot of mud. "The situation is not forgiving, who is not being pushed? The road is muddy, spring plowing is coming soon, don't I know? The thieves are instigating people's hearts, don't I know? I also read the flyer, and I stepped on the road myself."

"Then why do you want to go?" Feng Wuyi asked in confusion. "Going, isn't it right?"

"Hey..." Xue Changxiong was obviously annoyed by this statement, but he glanced at his confidant and supervisor Sima Chen Bin who was sitting on the other side.

Chen Bin understood, got up immediately, clasped his hands and smiled at Feng Wuyi who was facing him, and explained a little: "Mr. Feng, you have been tricked...you fell into the trick of the thief Zhang San."

"How to say?" Feng Wuyi also looked seriously at the Nan Chen survivor on the opposite side.

"It's actually very simple...it's the right time." Standing there, Chen Bin seriously explained to the old man in front of him. "The main force of the bandit army is in Hebei, and the 25th Battalion is not bad, but the foundation of the Dragon Bandit is still in the east. The supplies and logistics of the eight counties in the east, and the soldiers, including the soldiers and horses extending to the six counties of Huaixi Ordnance practitioners are not comparable to the Hebei region, which only occupies [-]% of the Bohai Sea and [-]% of the plains. He claims to be able to sit firmly in Ban County, and the confidence to fight against us is actually relying on the support of the Eastern Border behind him. At this time, the traffic on the river is It's going to hurt."

Feng Wuyi nodded his head, there was indeed nothing wrong with his words.

"Before it was frozen in winter, the great river was like walking on flat ground, the north and the south were integrated, and the supplies and soldiers came as soon as they were said... In all fairness, the land of the eight counties was not blown out. If you really want to fight, if you win, it is also a tragic victory. We couldn't hold back the situation in Hebei after the war, so my general chose to avoid the war at that time." Chen Bin continued. "But now we have to send troops, because at this time, the river and the sea are flooded, and the north and the south are separated. Neither boats nor pontoon bridges can be built. It's coming, and it's only half a month, no matter what, it's impossible to let it go!"

"I really didn't expect this level, General Xue is worthy of being a famous soldier." Feng Wuyi thought about it carefully, as expected, but he came to his senses immediately. "So, that Zhang San knew that you were going at this time, so he deliberately said that in the leaflet, just to disturb the hearts of the soldiers?"

Chen Bin nodded, and Xue Changxiong quickly nodded too.

"But..." Feng Wuyi thought for a while, then frowned and asked again. "However, it is also true that all the localities are against it... I asked many local officials, and they all said that the army crossed the border and delayed the spring plowing. I am afraid that not all of them were tricked? These county guards, county magistrates, captains, and county officials , do you know nothing about soldiers like me?"

Chen Bin didn't respond, but just went to see Xue Changxiong, and seeing the latter pretending to be dead, he smiled helplessly at Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng... I just want to ask you, is the current situation in Hebei more important military or civil? If we don't drive the culprits across the river, I'm afraid there will never be peace in Hebei."

This is to admit that the transit of the army will definitely delay the spring plowing.

On the other hand, Feng Wuyi is not stupid, how could people who lived decades before that saint be stupid?So he quickly realized that this was probably the case:
The words of that Zhang Sanlang who once walked with him may indeed be true, and there is no lie at all, but he should have indeed covered up the fact that the ice flood season is extremely unfavorable to him, and it is obvious that he took the opportunity to separate, spread rumors, and shake people's hearts. Concealing malice... It can even be said that the effect is remarkable;
There is nothing wrong with the attitude of the local officials. The spring plowing is delayed. Even if the battle is barely won, when it is too late, the common people are afraid that they will still rebel and the so-called "thieves" will fill the ground. It will be their responsibility and hard work at that time. What's more, because of the unscrupulous looting of places by the Hejian camp, because of the death of Zhang Shiyu, and because of the retreat of the Hejian camp in the first battle of Leling, they have already stored a lot of resentment and resentment, that is also true;
Needless to say here at Hejian Daying, the thief Zhang San has already analyzed it well. General Xue Changxiong is a typical leader of the Guanlong Army. He only has soldiers and horses in his eyes. Compared with him, he is more inclined to the powerful forces that directly enrich the army... Not to mention, there is a saying of the flood season that can cover up everything.

Zhang San can ignore these three parties, but the other two, including the powerful and common people who have already made their choices, must unite. Otherwise, how can the court be the court?Why is a thief just a thief?

After hesitating and being silent for a moment, when Xue Changxiong was obviously impatient, old man Feng spoke again, passing Chen Bin, and asked General Xue seriously: "General, if you have to send troops at this time, can you restrain yourself as much as possible?" What about military discipline? I have personally witnessed the incident in Changhe County. After the people were looted, they had no one to rely on in winter, and they had to go to the bandits. There is also the incident about Zhang Taishou..."

"Feng Gong, what nonsense are you talking about? I did my best for the country, but you have to care about these things? Don't you forget that I also lost a son, two favorite generals, and abolished [-] elites! All the crimes are mine. Already?" As soon as the words came out, Xue Changxiong was furious, and he stood up like a toad that had been stung in the butt, but he didn't go out after all, he just walked to the inside of the hall door, turned his hands behind his back, and then faced the wall silently.

Feng Wuyi stared at this person in a daze, then got up and followed, tried his best to persuade from behind: "General, the situation is not as good as before, here in Hebei, we need to try our best to appease people's hearts."

Xue Changxiong just kept silent.

Chen Bin, the supervisor of the army, had no choice but to follow up with a smile: "Mr. Feng, why are you defecting to the thieves? Since ancient times, the army and the people have been enemies rather than friends, so what's the difference? After the fort, the excess people were sent to the eastern region to farm as official slaves, or simply sold into private slaves, just good at talking and deliberately inciting people's hearts."

Feng Wuyi turned around and explained earnestly: "Slaves are abolished in the Eastern Territory. Not only will they not sell official slaves, but they will try their best to release official slaves and buy private slaves."

Chen Bin was stunned, and continued to answer: "These are all lies of that Zhang San to the outside world... This man is very scheming, and he is used to lying."

"It's a lie, but what if everyone believes it?" Feng Wuyi asked seriously. "Local officials, ordinary people, and merchants are all willing to believe, so what should we do?"

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Mr. Feng, the officers and thieves, do you want to trust the thieves?"

When it came to this point, Feng Wuyi was completely silent.

In desperation, the old man could only bow his hands to Xue Changxiong who was on his back, and then walked out. Seeing this, Chen Bin hurried to see him off.

As soon as he left, Xue Lao Qi Xue Wanquan, who had been standing outside the door, couldn't help but went inside and asked: "Father commander, it's just an old man who has been dismissed from office, why are you angry with him?"

"What do you know?" Xue Changxiong turned around, sat up in the hall, and dropped his hands impatiently. "Old man Feng has no official position anymore, it is also the saint's private property, and our Xue family, as outsiders, is able to control the Hejian camp and control more than [-] states and counties. Isn't it because of the dilapidated signboard of the saint? So old man Feng again How ridiculous, it can be regarded as a character in the same row as us, and cannot be easily dismissed."

Xue Wanquan was thoughtful.

Seeing this, Xue Changxiong couldn't help lowering his voice and continued to educate: "Besides, Leling was really caught off guard when he lost Grand Administrator Zhang. Old man Feng was only going around in front of the imperial court, and some words were wrong, but now Hebei The aristocratic family and the local officials are dissatisfied with us, and they all stare at us, it is true, and it can't be too much... This is why I have to send troops early to fight."

Xue Wanquan just sighed: "Father commander is far-sighted and can see clearly."

Xue Changxiong shook his head and was too lazy to say anything: "Hurry up, hurry up and prepare for dispatching troops, don't delay!"

Not to mention how Xue Changxiong taught his son well, on the other hand, Feng Wuyi was also a little frustrated when he hit a wall and came out.

But unexpectedly, Chen Bin, Xue Changxiong's confidant, was aggressive in the classroom before, just asking which is more important, military or civil?Which one do you believe in officers, soldiers and thieves?Now I sent him off all the way, but my words were polite, without losing any courtesy.

It is in sharp contrast with the previous hall.

And soon, Feng Wuyi knew why the other party was like this.

"Mr. Feng, I have something to ask you... You are from Jiangnan, so I don't know how the place looks like now?" When he came to the corner of the mansion gate, seeing the busy people around him, Chen Bin took the opportunity to speak .

Feng Wuyi looked at the other party, and then remembered that this person was actually from the former Chen royal family, so he couldn't help sighing: "I don't want to hide it from your Excellency, and I can't hide it... Jiangnan is not very good, there are rebels in Jiangdong and Jiangxi. The intentions of the one at Lingling and the one who erected the Qianjin Pillar are unclear, and although the two generals who suppressed the rebellion are both masters, they dare not go deep into the mountainous area at all, and they just see each other repeatedly."

Chen Bin put his hands together and laughed: "So, isn't it worse for the people there than in Hebei?"

Feng Wuyi was stunned on the spot, because what he said was extremely correct, but it seemed obviously wrong.

"Does Feng Gong love the people so much in Yangzhou?" Chen Bin continued to ask with a smile.

Feng Wuyi only felt that he staggered slightly in the cold wind in the early spring, and he was a little swaying, but soon he stood still again, and then he bowed his hands in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, and sincerely said:
"No... the old man is very ashamed now."

Chen Bin seemed to want to laugh at him at first, but when he saw the other party's gesture, he felt bored instead, and just laughed with his hands behind his back:

"Mr. Feng...why bother you? You are a Hebei native. You were sent to Daxing as a descendant back then. You were lucky enough to enter the hidden residence of today's saints because of your writing skills and your family background. You should understand that, In the eyes of people in Guanlong, people from Hebei and Jiangdong... just like Zhang San's list said, they are not human beings. Now that General Xue is here, things are just like this. Let me ask you, whether you are an official or a thief, whether you are a civil servant or a military officer, there is still a question that is not easy to ask, do you come from Guanlong above or Hebei below?"

Feng Wuyi stood on the spot.

"Don't blame me for being mean, because the court has always been like this. It's just that the common people could barely survive before, and you and I barely had a bowl of soup. Now, the days are getting tighter, and everyone can't help showing their true colors." After finishing speaking, Chen Bin cupped his hands, turned and went back.

Feng Wuyi still stood on the spot, and after a long time, he walked out of the last door in a daze, and climbed into a waiting car outside.

The driver was Feng Wuyi's fourth son, Feng Dan, the Wulang of the family. After helping his father to finish the job, he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Father, where are we going next?"

"Reply to the capital." Feng Wuyi came back to his senses and responded calmly. "Reply all letters."

Feng Dan was puzzled for a moment: "Didn't my father say that he would replace Zhang Shiyu as a bridge between Hejian Daying and the local government? Why did he just leave when he came? Then Xue Changxiong was not appointed?"

Feng Wuyi forced a smile: "A mere Hebei native, how can he be qualified to be a bridge... At least he must be a member of the Jin family."

Feng Dan was stunned, what did he not understand?Then he also smiled wryly, but tried his best to comfort him: "So, father can just go home and sit in peace, and don't ask about these things, so he won't be angry."

"Difficult!" Feng Wuyi half-lyed in the car, not knowing whether he was talking about subjectively or objectively difficult. "Disaster!"

Feng Wulang didn't hesitate anymore, turned around, urged the carriage to leave this place, but he didn't even return to the local house in Hejian, he just went straight out of the city to return to the ancestral house in Xindu according to his father's order.

Here Feng Wuyi left sadly, not to mention disheartened, at least it continued the continuous stimulation since returning home, while on the other hand, Chen Bin finished dealing with the old man and returned to the General's Mansion, but he was busy Wake up... In fact, before Feng Wuyi came, Xue Changxiong issued an order to reorganize the army and march, even the people here in Hejian will march tomorrow.

Among them, Chen Bin, as the supervising army Sima of the Hejian Camp, according to the rules, was supposed to be the imperial court's means to restrain Xue Changxiong. In the past two years, he has become Xue Changxiong's most unconditional obedience and indulgence because of his unscrupulous cooperation. Trusted people, who are regarded as think tanks and confidantes, are naturally even more busy.

He was busy until it was completely dark, and Chen Simafu declined Xue Silang's invitation to have a drink, and then he left the General's Mansion and returned home.

It is said that at home, the house is quite big, and there are many beautiful concubines and maidservants, but there are no real wives and children. Now that the expedition is imminent, there is no leisure to enjoy it. They just let people cook and boil half a pot of wine, and then they want to be free. Pour yourself for half a meal and rest early.

However, just as the wine was being poured, there was suddenly the sound of chanting coming from the cold wind on the roof.

Chen Bin waved his hands to let the maids leave, then supported the case with one hand, and held the saber with the other, the water-blue true energy also gently surged out, but he was only listening.

As the saying goes:
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past.

The small building was windy last night, so the country was unbearable looking back on the moon.

The jade carving of the carved fence should still be there, only Zhu Yangai.

How much can I ask you to worry?Just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. "

The person on the roof recited a small poem three times before he sighed: "King Changsha, what's the style of this poem?"

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, put away his true anger, and sneered: "Fucking king of Changsha! Xie Minghe, don't you think that I can still be proud of this surname and think about the great cause of recovering Nanchen? I must not be crazy! "

At this point, the person paused, but continued to laugh: "However, the poems are good poems... Did you make them?"

"Copy it." The person on the roof suddenly landed and appeared in front of the door. It was indeed Xie Minghe, a rare master of the Eight Great Families of the South of the Yangtze River. He walked in with his hands behind his back, and he did not salute, but just asked boldly. "Master Chen, please come here without any harm."

"I'm neither the king of Changsha, nor Mr. Chen." Chen Bin was speechless. "My father and brother have more than 20 people. Except for one rebel, the rest have sealed seventeen or eight kings. They are not as valuable as a prefect. I have eight brothers. I am the sixth eldest in my family. Who would think about the king of Changsha? As for Young master... Brother Xie, you and I are both in our 40s, and we are no longer the young men who used to climb mountains and look at rivers."

Xie Minghe didn't refute, just sat down straight away, poured himself a glass of wine, and then raised his glass: "Then Sima Chen? But in the situation of Da Wei, this Sima has been around for a long time?"

"Being Sima for a day, calling Sima once, is just like being a floating crane for a day, and you will be a floating crane for a day." Chen Bin smiled and finally raised his glass. "fine."

The two looked at each other with a smile, and each drank a toast.

After drinking, Chen Bin raised the jug and asked, "So, are you planning to rebel? Looking around for local people? The situation in Jiangnan is really bad?"

"It's really bad, but I don't dare to rebel in Jiangdong. Tens of thousands of warriors from the eastern capital, [-] troops stationed in Guanxi, four or five masters, twenty or thirty condensed pills, are on the other side of the river. Who dares to move? To move is to search the house." Clan annihilation." Xie Minghe said one thing at a time.

"Then you..." Chen Bin stroked his sleeves and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. "Did you vote for Dragon Thief?"

"I didn't vote for the Dragon Gang, but I voted for Zhang Sanlang himself." Xie Minghe was frank. "I have some friendship with him..."

"Whether it's the Chulong Gang or Zhang Xing, you are not on the same path." Chen Bin reminded coldly.

"I know, it's just that the violent Wei is ahead, and the rivers and lakes are far away, so let's go hand in hand first." Xie Minghe answered seriously. "I went there before they unified the eight counties last year. The two sides had a gentleman's agreement..."

Chen Bin lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued to pour wine for the other party: "What are you doing at the Dragon Thief? Such a master of condensing alchemy, why didn't you see him in the Battle of the Plains before?"

"The battle was sudden, and I was also frustrated that I didn't catch up." Xie Minghe answered seriously. "I was in Dengzhou at the time, teaching those youngsters to build a foundation."

"So the rumors are true, and all the youngsters who can still build a foundation in the Eastern Territory of the Dragon Bandit will collectively build a foundation?" Chen Bin, who put down the jug, just laughed. "And you became the master of Dengzhou Martial Arts?"

"Yes."

"How's the effect?"

"It's not that bad...the foundation building in a hundred days is definitely not a big problem, but when we left a year ago, I saw them chopping firewood and clearing the snow, and it was estimated that they would also be plowing and picking wild vegetables in the spring. How many people have the time to work hard to practice? "Xie Minghe was also a little frustrated.

"Actually, it may not be as bad as you think." Chen Bin said thoughtfully. "Since ancient times, condensed pills have been the most prominent in practice. From the perspective of the whole world, one or two people in a small state and a small county can be the lords of a land. However, the great Wei searched and suppressed so much that seven out of ten condensed pills could be found. Eight are in Guanlong and Dongdu, and the Dragon Clan has so many masters before the masters who moved to Guanlong come back, which is obviously beyond the average... and it is still rising... there may be some opinions."

"That's for the future too." Xie Minghe said disapprovingly. "I always feel that this matter is useless, and it's just a waste of time in Dengzhou, so after the Chinese New Year, it will directly cross the river."

"Then come to find me as a lobbyist?" Chen Bin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course, after hearing that you are here, I recommended myself."

"I'm not a dragon thief." Chen Bin said seriously. "Brother Xie, if you think about it, you should know. According to my personality, how could I be able to stand side by side with warriors from the North, county officials from Hebei, tycoons from the East, and even horse dealers, sergeants, bandits, and yamen servants?"

"Don't you think your surname is not worth mentioning?" Xie Minghe asked in confusion.

Chen Bin remained silent.

"So I still care about it, and I still have the Jiangdong style in my bones, which is based on reading." Xie Minghe sighed. "However, if that's the case, how can you bear to bow down to welcome Xue's group of Guanlong warriors? They are quite precious?"

Chen Bin laughed dryly: "Of course I also look down on them, and even feel a little bit resentful... That's why I bowed down to welcome them."

"I don't understand that." Xie Minghe was slightly startled.

"It's not as sinister and deliberate as you think..." Chen Bin knew what the other party was thinking with just a glance. "In the situation of the Great Wei, I just push the boat along the way, I am afraid that I am loyal to the court; here in the Xue family, I just follow their wishes and perfunctory, maybe I am also the real pillar of the Hejian camp... On the contrary, there are some real loyal ministers, Focusing on doing the right thing, but getting nowhere.”

Xie Minghe was completely speechless, and only after a while did he ask back: "So, the Dragon Clan will surely win in Hebei? It doesn't matter if we have you or not?"

"People in power in the world always like to be stupid, so as long as the dragon thief is not stupid, they will naturally become powerful." Chen Bin laughed dryly again.

Xie Minghe only thought it was absurd: "If this is the case, you are planning for the future, so what if you make a fool of yourself with the Dethrone Dragon Gang?"

"Brother Xie is thinking too much." Chen Bin picked up another glass of wine and shook his head. "The question is, why is it that everyone in the world is stupid, but the dragon thief is not stupid? Do you think that the people in power in the world are all fools? They are also smart, but they also like to be stupid... I don't think the dragon thief is an exception, especially It's because they are not good or bad, good and evil are mixed together, once they are stupid, I'm afraid they will go bad faster."

Xie Minghe was silent, and shook his head slowly after a while: "Things may be like this, but everything is people-oriented, and you despise the Dragon Gang for being unscrupulous and mixed, and I actually feel that there are inexplicable weirdness in this gang. , Many things are taken for granted, and there may be internal and future troubles... However, many characters in the Chulong Gang are indeed heroes of the moment. I have seen this with my own eyes. This gang may suffer a big setback, but the Characters will not be easily obliterated in the grass, and they will definitely set off huge waves. Let me say, it is worth joining this gang just to get to know these people."

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head slowly: "Unfortunately, they are all heroes in Hebei and the East. As for me, a homeless person with no country, family and no hope for the future, I am satisfied to sit in Hebei and watch Cao Wei defeat himself." gone."

Xie Minghe understood the meaning of the other party, nodded, raised his glass again, and left with his hands.

After walking for a long time, Chen Bin still didn't move. He finally stood up, but he remembered the phrase "when is the spring flower and autumn moon?"

The next day, Hejian Taishou Xue Changxiong, the commander in chief of the Hebei march and General Zuo Weiwei, dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the Hejian camp, and sent [-] auxiliary soldiers and strong men to escort the military equipment. There are three Dan masters and one master.

At the same time, Xue Changxiong ordered Kaicheng, the counties and counties along the way, to receive troops to rest and replenish, and sent documents to Dongdu, Weijun, Jijun, Youzhou, Taiyuan, Wu'an, and Hengshan counties to invite reinforcements. In the coming flood season, fight to the death with the dragon thieves occupying the two counties of Pingyuan and Bohai.

Before he left, he drenched his blood and vowed to defeat the dragon thief, and use snow to get rid of the humiliation of losing his son, teacher, army, and friends.

As soon as the army was launched, it was like a tiger descending the mountain. Hebei was shaken, and the whole world waited and watched.

Zhang Xing also immediately ordered that the most protruding Wubao should abandon its fortress and retreat to avoid the sharp edge.
