Chapter 395: The Country’s Destruction (13)

The crying sound shook the field, and Zhang Xing, who stayed in Liyang City, also heard it, but fortunately, it seemed like an accidental incident, and the crying stopped after sunset.Moreover, Zhang Xing can somewhat understand these cries... Whether it is thinking of relatives who were starved to death a few years ago, or seeing the food and realizing that the food shortage has been eliminated after half a year, it is understandable to cry with joy. .

Prosperity, the people suffer, and the dead people suffer, this sentence is particularly true for the people in the Central Plains of Hebei who have experienced the rise and fall of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The crying stopped that night, and Zhang Xing felt a little relieved. After eating a bowl of millet porridge, he entered the room early, and wrote letters with only the lamp in his hand. At first, they were just letters to chat about old times.

The first letter was to Bai Yousi. This letter was quite long, and it described in detail what had happened recently, as well as my own mental journey. From the original incident to today's cries, from Dou Lide's unconcealed ambition to Xu Shiying's cold-eyed onlooker, from the situation in Kansai to the possible Hebei war, as well as doubts and puzzles about his progress... Finally, he still I especially emphasized one thing, that is, I hope that Bai Yousi will continue to stabilize the army and act as a good strategic reserve team. If necessary, he will ensure that the main force and core team of the Dragon Clan who are venturing westward will be taken care of. He will not use the remaining six battalions in Dengzhou plus tens of thousands of Tuntian troops.

To put it bluntly, although under the influence of intense anger, Zhang Xing had decided to let go, but he still reserved a backup from the perspective of the survival of the Dragon Gang.

The second letter is for Li Ding. Now that the westward advance has been made, and Ji and Wei counties have been conquered, the next military obstacle that the Dragon Gang will face is the counterattack of the Eastern Capital forces and Li Ding's troops. ...He never doubted that if Li Ding really got down to it, his [-] soldiers and his military talent would bring huge troubles to the Dragon Gang...For example, he can now think that if the other party sends Ruthless, taking advantage of the main force of the Dethrone Dragon Gang to raid Jiangling in the west, how much trouble will it cause.

Not to mention, there is also the possibility of Li Ding joining forces with Dongdu soldiers and horses, which would be really embarrassing.

However, in this letter, Zhang Xing did not directly persuade him to surrender like the previous letters, but instead focused on promoting the achievements of himself and the Dragon Gang. Of course, he also talked about the shock and anger when he saw the food, saying He recalled the old incident when he was robbed of his boots, talked about the meeting between the two in Taolin, and talked about the current situation.

Finally, he specifically mentioned the crying heard tonight, thinking that even if he was defeated in the next war, this time, it would not be in vain to come to this world.

Of course, when he wrote this, he was still as stubborn as ever, thinking that even if he did such a piercing thing, he could still turn the crisis into safety and win the final victory.

The third letter was addressed to Li Qingchen, which was a serious letter of persuasion. He advised Li Qingchen to see the situation clearly and not to go to the dark because of personal grievances and his illusory noble son's self-esteem.As for the Dragon Gang, the door is always open for anyone who is willing to turn back, and it is never too late to turn back to "share the benefits of the world".

At the same time, he also mentioned Qin Bao in the letter, and asked if the other party could help Qin Bao take out his family members.

Up to now, Zhang Xing has made a deep introspection. He thinks that he was too naive a few years ago and lacked an effective understanding of personnel. From Zhang San's point of view, the reason why Qin Er was put in such an embarrassing situation is that on the one hand It was Qin Er who lost his husband since he was a child, and his mother was extremely restrictive; on the other hand, he also ignored the other party's self-esteem and could not be honest with each other.

Of course, saying Qin Bao on the surface is actually saying Qin Bao, but it is not an opportunity to admit his mistake and give Li Qingchen himself a step up.

The fourth letter, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh letters Zhang Xing wrote to four great masters who have never met... Of course, they may have met before he didn't know... One is the governor of Dongyi, One is the Commander of the Northland, one is the Chonghe Taoist of the Trinity Orthodox Church, and the other is the former leader of the True Fire Sect who is currently in the south of the Yangtze River, but the exact location cannot be found at all.

The content of the letter is similar, it is nothing more than introducing the situation of the Dragon Gang, describing his own philosophy, and expressing an intention to seek in-depth cooperation.

Of course, the matters discussed and the positions and attitudes expressed in different letters are still different.

Hedge and Taoist and the Qianjin leader, Zhang Xing mainly expressed his admiration, which was relatively empty, but he made an invitation. I hope these two can come to Hebei and Dongjing to have a look. The so-called hand in hand, to create a business together .

Of course, he would not invite the governor of Dongyi, but there were more superficial political perfunctory, but it was just perfunctory, and there was no expression of any alliance. You Xian, promised to send the other party's bones back to Dongyi...Of course, this matter probably cannot be delivered by hand, but must be entrusted to the messenger, and Zuo Youxian's bones were cremated and sent to Dongdu by Du Pozhen , I have been in that house all the time, and I need someone to walk around.

As for the Chief Commander of the Northland, let’s talk about it in more detail. To put it bluntly, staring at the identity selected by Lord Heidi, this Commander-in-Chief is the great master he can really rely on, and with the help of the Dragon Gang Regardless of success or failure in this attack, both sides will actually go one step further.

After writing these letters, Chief Zhang hesitated for a moment, and wrote two more text messages to Qin Bao's mother and Yueniang, mainly to remind the two great Weis that they are about to be overthrown, and they should consider the future and safety of their own family and Qin Er. Don't really make trouble on the battlefield.

Then, he suddenly tore up the letter to Chong and Taoist priest.

The letter to Qin Bao's mother and Yueniang was of course because the envoy was going to Dongdu to collect the ashes, so I wrote it by the way, and tore up the letter to Chonghe Taoist priest, he suddenly realized that Chonghe Taoist priest was in Taibai Feng, in other words, is just outside the western capital city, and coupled with the other party's status as the head teacher of the Trinity Orthodox Church, although it looks calm on the surface, in fact he has already entered the game, and he may have a sensitive position.

In other words, this person is the same as Eastern Capital Cao Lin and Hedong Master Zhang. God knows whether he will directly participate in and affect the matter of the Dragon Gang going west to threaten the periphery of the Eastern Capital, and then directly affect the development of the situation.

Even thinking about it carefully, the three of them have formed a triangle at the center of this world for a long time.

And before the advent of the troubled times, the great masters of this world were basically distributed in the center and peripheral areas, which is definitely not a natural distribution.

The eleven great masters, assuming that Cao Che relies on some mechanism to temporarily obtain some corresponding authority in Dongdu by virtue of his status as emperor, that is, the twelve great masters, the emperor, Chong and Taoist priest, Cao Lin, and Master Zhang The four people live in the center...the governor of Dongyi, the commander of Beidi, the old lady of the Nanling Virgin, the owner of Yaodao Island, the daughter of the Jiangnan leader, the bitter sea priest of the Wu tribe, the Xueling layman of the West Sea, and a dragon. The beginning and the end are invisible, but it does exist. Jing'antai guesses that it is the former leader of the Trinity Orthodox Church, or simply a three-hui walker who was transformed by a real dragon and helped people build a foundation... Obviously there is a pattern.

In fact, Zhang Sanlang simply picked up the paper for thinking and classification.

And he quickly realized that, without mentioning the first four, the remaining eight can basically be divided into two categories, either with the backing of the Three Glory and the Four Royals, or with the support of an exact military, political and religious organization...Of course, many people It has multiple identities.

This is likely to be the result of the so-called peaceful era, when the earth's atmosphere is stable and restricted.

The only interesting thing is that the three brilliance and the four sin-defending dragons all have obvious agents...except for the master Baidi...Shuzhong is his basic board, and only one master who is said to be the number one master still works with him It doesn't matter, there is a Thirteen King Kong.

Or is it that the Three-Glory Walker belongs to his family?
The great master is like this, so what about the real dragon?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing himself laughed. He can only say that after he got angry three days ago, he really gained confidence like a smashed can. The distribution of is also interesting.

Either it was a dragon that was recruited, divided into geographical sections or important rivers and land, or it also escaped far away from the core area of ​​human civilization.

However, Zhang Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, these dragons, especially those who were sealed, seem to just separate the two groups of central grand masters and marginal grand masters.

Of course, it's just a guess, he doesn't understand anything, it's estimated that only the person/long knows about this information, and everyone else is just guessing, and we still have to wait for that "Wang Huaiji" to come to the appointment.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help thinking that the other party said that he had to get through this, but let Chief Zhang return to the real problem from those messy things.

But at this time, it was getting late, and it might even be the next year.

Soon, Zhang Xing will cross the fifth anniversary since time travel and enter the sixth year after time travel.It's been six years, and I don't know if it's nothing?I don't even know if the so-called will continue under the oppression of the great master or will it fail?But on the other hand, as a traveler in a society that has completed industrialization and is in the process of informationization, why must I accomplish something?
It's just a self-righteous choice and progress based on personal likes and dislikes and so-called historical experience, and it's enough to leave a comment.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanlang was unexpectedly a little crazy, he simply put away these letters, blew out the lights, took off the gold cone and compass, turned over and fell asleep.

Not to mention that Zhang Xing routinely developed his own traveler's lack of confidence syndrome after doing some results, but said that the next morning, after opening his eyes and entering the new year, the traveler put away his thoughts and returned to work... …He sorted out the letters, summoned some direct subordinates with corresponding backgrounds to serve as envoys, sent the letters, and then started work.

From this day onwards, Zhang Xing temporarily ignored the military, but seriously assisted Dou Lide and his wife and Wei Xuanding in the food distribution, because he found that this was what he was most worried about.

And soon, a basic scheme was roughly formed in discussion and practice, and it was quickly promoted and used.

First of all, of course, are the military depots. The military depots lined up along the official roads must have fuel, hot water, cooking facilities, large sheds where they can rest, and paperwork and account books that can count the hard work of soldiers in the field.

This has been the basic need for the logistics of the Dragon Gang for a long time, or the basic needs of logistics transfers. Although this time is large-scale and urgent, it is relatively simple compared to military supplies, because the Dragon Gang already has sufficient experience. And the cities along the way are dense, which greatly reduces the related burden.

However, this leads to a new key issue, that is, the cooperation of officials in Wuyang County.After all, most of the main transshipment channels are in Wuyang County, and Wuyang County is a big county that has just surrendered. At this time, political commitment and protection of the original system are needed.

Therefore, this also triggered the second method - under the suggestion of Wei Xuanding's letter, Zhang Xing announced the appointment of Yuan Baocun as the chief leader temporarily, and still acted as the governor of Wuyang County. The distribution of relief is the basic assessment to determine whether the local officials of Wuyang County, Wei County, and Ji County will stay or stay, and the rest of the counties will also use this matter as the biggest evidence for promotion and transfer assessment after this spring.

This is the effectiveness of political commitment, and it is also the most effective mental stimulation.

The third, and most important method, is the strategy of expropriation and return of civilian husbands on the spot proposed by Mrs. Dou Cao Xi on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

This is a very simple, but extremely effective, and multi-purpose means.

To put it simply, the common people who came to collect grain at Liyang Warehouse were confiscated on the spot as civilian husbands, and they were asked to form a transfer team with the established garrison soldiers in a ratio of [-] to [-] to transfer the grain together. The promised free [-] catties of grain per catty Quite a lot, but now I can only give [-] catties first, and the remaining [-] catties need to be given at the destination, and the destination they are responsible for transshipment is their respective hometowns.

Meals are provided along the way, and when you go to the place to see the distance, you will be rewarded with an extra ten to thirty catties.

There are many advantages of this strategy, for example, it can quickly gather manpower and reduce the waste of manpower; it also gives tangible benefits to the people transporting grain, and there is no waste of supplies; another one is that it can reduce the repeated collection of Liyang warehouse by malicious people. Make sure that these people leave directly after receiving the food once; finally, when the local officials receive the supplies and the people, it is easy to make up for the gaps in their local mobilization work, which is convenient for a new round of scattered relief within the counties.

Zhang Xing immediately praised Cao Xi in public, and temporarily appointed the other party as the big leader on the spot, and changed it to the village manager, letting her take charge of the matter.

This is the second female leader of the Dragon Clan, and she is in charge of logistics. She was born in Hebei and has been promoted very quickly after joining the gang. It is really staggering.

Of course, various other measures, including changing patrols to road guidance, and investigating security issues caused by food in the wilderness, were also announced one by one.

Among them, there are many non-controversial measures. For example, Chief Zhang insisted on fulfilling the promise of free food distribution for seven days, and insisted on using the strategy of expropriation and return of civilian husbands to Hanoi County, Xin Du County, Wu'an County, Xiangguo County, and even the people of Xingyang County who came across the river.

That's right, these ordinary people who theoretically come over from the enemy's territory will arrive at the borders of the relevant states and counties with the assistance of the Tulong Gang's garrison troops and patrol cavalry, carrying more than [-] catties of grain per person.

Arriving at the same time, there was also a high-spirited "instruction" from Chief Zhang Xingzhang, requiring them to distribute food to the people fairly and not to store it privately, otherwise they would be severely punished.

At the beginning, many people felt that this was a waste of manpower and capacity, and even capitalized on the enemy.

But in fact, after they really started to operate, everyone came to their senses, because the extra food they really paid was not much compared to the food that the common people who came from these places took for themselves, but it greatly expanded the power of the Dragon Gang. Influence.

And soon, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, a more important matter broke out, which made everyone have to divert their attention.

Li Shu arrived at Liyangcang on the third day of the first lunar month, and made up his mind before meeting Zhang Xing. The two agreed in person, and then Li Shu turned back on the same day, and formally mobilized all the main forces of the four counties of Jiyin Xingtai on the second day The soldiers and horses attacked from both sides in the direction of Hebei, invaded Xingyang County, the gateway of the Eastern Capital, and pointed directly at Luokou Cang in Aoshan.

Dozens of prefectures and counties in Hebei and Henan, including the officials in Dongduli, have been numb by the Dragon Gang.

Of course, apart from numbness, the officials of the Eastern Capital are also a little scared. If they really took advantage of the freezing of the river and took advantage of the situation to attack the Eastern Capital, who would be to blame?And who can stop the current situation?Navy Admiral Song Changsheng or Long-legged General Qu Tuda?

Who is to blame for the fall of the Eastern Capital?
An urgent letter signed by six people was sent to Tongguan.

That's right, Cao Lin is still in Tongguan, he didn't enter Guanxi... But it's not fishing law enforcement, but he got into huge trouble.

Han Yingong, the son of a bitch, after receiving the military order, actually stood still in the east of the river, and even retreated to the northeast with more than 1 main forces.

And Hedong is exactly where the southern slope of Old Master Zhang is.

Even though he knew that the Liyang warehouse was broken before, Cao Lin's anger was still more on Han Yingong, he wished he could fly over, strangle him to death with a rope, and then take the army back.

But he didn't dare, because it was too much like a bait.

Crossing the ordinary and frozen river and entering the east river, if Zhang Bofeng really wanted to make things difficult for him, Cao Lin would definitely lose.

PS: Thanks to Uncle Ze and Master Shui Changdong for their alliance, and to Master Fusheng and Yueyuejiu for your tip.
