"I..." Su Jingfang paused for a moment, then answered softly. "To tell you the truth, uncle, I'm actually tempted."

"But..." Zhang Xing joked.

"But..." Xiao Su said seriously. "Although the uncle and the master seem to have a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors, I still believe in my mentor more. He taught me a lot, and I am willing to go with him. I will also come back with him, so why should my uncle care about this moment?"

Zhang Xing thought for a while, then nodded, "I mean to say you're slippery, but you're actually kind of sincere."

"The words are nothing more than that, whether they are slick or sincere, it depends on the boy's behavior in the future. "Xiao Su still speaks with certainty.

"Forget it." Zhang Xing nodded again. "Then where are you going to celebrate the New Year?" "I want to go back to Wu'an." Su Jingfang answered frankly. "I'm homesick, and I miss my teacher
"Then let's go." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Go ahead and go to the camp of a leader named Fan Bao, and ask him for a letter..."

Su Jingfang thought for a while, and asked "Fan Lihua" seriously

"Yes." Zhang Xing responded simply. "I entrusted your master to gather her from Qinghe, otherwise I don't know what trouble she will cause in Hebei."

"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. After this experience, I am convinced of my uncle's ability." Saying this, Su Jingfang nodded, no longer hesitated, got up and said goodbye, and walked away simply
Zhang Xing sat still, just continued to look at the sky.

After a while, another person came here hesitantly, Zhang Xing did not invite the other person to sit with him, but stood up and smiled, "Sister Cao."

Cao Xi, who had just changed into new clothes for a few days, was a little bit astonished, and wanted to raise his hand full of chilblains, which was destined to break out every winter, to return the salute, but he seemed to realize something in the middle, and then stopped, wanting to imitate a woman and bow slightly , I didn't adapt to it, only to be embarrassed.

It was Zhang Sanlang who took the initiative to laugh, "It's good for Sister Cao to surrender, we will see more in the future, and you have to work hard on some things... I heard what happened to Sister Cao in Gaojibo, it was really hard work, and she was really capable. , so I want to ask Elder Sister Cao to come out to do things, as the rudder master, take care of all the family members in the military camp here and the affairs in the military market, especially now, the military market is not only for nearby women and children who come to seek a living, but also There are some serious private market transactions... This kind of thing cannot be avoided, it is better to control it seriously."

"It's natural to do things as they should. This is Zhang Longtou's care." Cao Xi was a little cautious. "I don't know what to do"

"It's nothing more than a fair business. Help as much as possible. If you can get widows and sergeants to marry properly, you can get married. If you can do business openly and fairly, you can do business... It's better to keep it open, and then try to be as fair as possible." Zhang Xing blurted out, and said Pointing to the steaming barracks behind him. "For the specific situation, Sister Cao might as well go inside and ask Chief Dou, this is a serious matter.
For military affairs, I mainly ordered Sister Cao's personnel appointment, how to do it, you can discuss it in the public office. "

Cao Xi nodded, clasped his hands in salute, and then mustered up the courage to walk in.After a while, before they even came out, the third visitor arrived. "Sit." Zhang Xing raised his hand and pointed, more casually. "They all call you Xiaoniang Dou, but if you have a proper name, you should still be called Xiaoniang."

"Back to Mr. Zhang, call me Xiaoniang." Dou Xiaoniang sat aside with her head bowed, fiddling with her military sword uneasily, and the red rope on her head fluttered continuously along her hair blown by the cold winter wind.

Zhang Xing nodded without wasting time, "Then I'll ask directly, young lady, do you want to join the army or stay at home, or do other things in the gang, such as documents and logistics?"

"Naturally, I want to join the army." Dou Xiaoniang's voice suddenly became higher. "Do you want to fight on the front line or defend in the local area?" Zhang Xing kept asking. "Fight on the front line." Dou Xiaoniang didn't hesitate for a moment.

"I agree in principle." Zhang Xing used a word that Xiaoniang Dou hadn't heard much, but it didn't matter, she understood the second half of the sentence. "But you are not an adult, I want your father's approval, or at least your adoptive mother's approval...you go in and ask."

Dou Xiaoniang was stunned, obviously aggrieved and dissatisfied, but she still got up and turned into it.

But Zhang Xing only yawned and continued to look at the sky.

This is his boring daily work of Dalongtou... But to be honest, Zhang Dalongtou thinks it is boring, but in fact, at this year's end, the whole of Hebei
Trembling under the shadow of this great leader.

Because so far, the Bohai Sea and the plains have lost seven large and small docks in four counties. This new tactic is nothing from a tactical point of view, but from both inside and outside, it emphasizes military discipline, one battalion by battalion The demonstrative emphasis has been drawn out, and the effect has already begun to emerge. The Dragon Gang gave up the city that was regarded as the lifeline by the officers and soldiers, and marched into the next level of Wubao. It still established a practical strategic fulcrum and gained enough The control of more loot and rural resources is a very realistic expansion route.

For the officers and soldiers, it is hard to imagine what will happen if all the docks in the territory are taken away, and only a few or a dozen bare county towns will be left. Can troops be transferred between cities? Can it control the countryside? Can it also summon effective combat power?

Who owns resources and population?
With the clarification of the Dragon Gang's tactics, not to mention the two counties of Pingyuan and Bohai who had just recovered from despair and were pushed into the ice water with their heads held down, even the counties of Qinghe and Wuyang, up and down Began to panic and feel uneasy—the Wubao women and children who were let go by the Dragon Gang spread the tactics and attitude of the Dragon Gang.

Dongdu and Hejian kept receiving direct requests for help from various counties, even counties, and even some related Wubao masters. Even several famous families panicked and couldn't help but participate in the series.Regardless of whether it is Dongdu or Hejian, they all know the power of the Dragon Gang, and they also attach great importance to Wubao's maintenance of the place under the current situation. Therefore, it is rare for the two places plus the local states and counties to reach a complete consensus. Attitude, I feel that I should do something... But after much deliberation, there is no good way.

Because the solution to military problems must ultimately fall on the military.

But when the ground was covered with snow and the river was frozen, they couldn't imagine how to support them, how to send troops, how to step on the snow to go deep into the river, and fight a decisive battle with the 25 battalions and the possible reinforcements of the Dragon Gang.

Ban County, where the Dragon Gang sits in front of Douzigang, is backed by the eight counties in the east.
From this point of view, most of the plains and the Bohai Sea seem to be strategically abandoned because of their geographical location.

"Pingyuan is going to be abandoned." Near the end of the new year, a new round of snowflakes fell. On the head of Ande City, the prefecture of Pingyuan County, under a simple wooden shed, Lu Changheng put down his wine glass and looked at the sky full of snow. "It's too close to the Dragon Clan, too far from Hejian. It's too close to Zhang Sanlang, too far from Zhongcheng... But it's true, if not, why would they send troops here?"

"Do you know what I think?" Qian Tang, the guard of Pingyuan on the opposite side, took a sip of cold wine, his face calm. "I'm not afraid that they will abandon Pingyuan. What I'm afraid of is that after the beginning of spring, the Hejian camp will be reluctant to give up and send troops in a hurry Come, Dongdu is not willing to give up, and even sent people to help..."

"Indeed." Lu Changheng thought about it under the wind and snow at the top of the city, and took it seriously. "However, I'm afraid that if we enter Zhang Sanlang's hub, the army will come from a long distance, and it won't last long. However, if the Dragon Army retreats on its own initiative, they will have no way to attack, and then they will be out of order. When the time comes, they will be dispatched here, and there will be loopholes. I am afraid that if the entire organic army is lost as before, this place will become a bloodshed for the Hejian Camp. Once the Hejian Camp weakens as a whole, not to mention the plains and the Bohai Sea, the entire south of the Zhangshui River will change. It has become the territory of the Chulong Gang. By then...then, the Chulong Gang will not only gain a foothold in Hebei, but will already have a chance to win."

"It's not that simple." Qian Tang nodded, then shook his head again. "Once the Dragon Gang takes down the four counties to the south of Zhangshui River, it will fly side by side with the East, and the strategic situation will be completely opened. Whether it is to enter Hebei or go south to Huaidong, they will be unscrupulous. Riding on the momentum."

Lu Changheng thought about it again, and could only nod, "Indeed,"

Qian Tang continued to speak, his face becoming more and more difficult, "Actually, what I'm afraid of is not losing, but I'm afraid of seeing that I'm about to lose but I can't do anything about it. What I'm afraid of is that everyone knows what is right and what is wrong, but they are subject to the situation. But you can only follow the wrong step by step.”

Lu Changheng looked at the person in front of him, and noticed that the thirty-year-old

The other party already had gray hair on his temples, but he had nothing to say.

He also had this feeling of wanting to kill thieves and being powerless to return to heaven, and it was even more obvious in Li Qingchen, and now it was the turn of the best of his former colleagues.

And this feeling, if it is not in some key positions, is difficult to detect.

The two were silent for a while, then Qian Tang suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the other party, "Look at it."

"If it was the flyer written by Zhang Sanlang, the one that was sent out when Zhao's Wubao was destroyed, I would have read it a long time ago." Lu Changheng didn't answer it at all. "There are transcripts all over the city, and it is estimated that Hejian and Dongdu can also see it... The key is how you look at it"

"What is written in the first half is the truth." Qian Tang squeezed the paper in his hand and looked at it again. "It's a big truth... the Great Wei court seems to be doing something in the middle and local areas at the state level. There are many victories, at least they have their own victories, but at the top and bottom But it was a crushing defeat... This, others don't know, don't we know?"

"Yes." Lu Changheng also became bitter. "The sage abandoned the world, and he still abused people's hearts when he went to the southeast. We originally expected Zhongcheng to clean up the situation in the eastern capital and re-establish a core of the Great Wei, but Zhongcheng worked so hard, but how come?" They can't even pull Guan Long's heart. Those people in Guan Long are just waiting for the Cao family to die, and find another way out... So far, the strategy of letting the Jing'antai children go to the local area to run their own business is already a failure, right? Instead of being able to support Zhongcheng, it is Zhongcheng who has to work hard for us."

Qian Tang just stared at the paper dancing in the wind, without making a sound.

"As for the hearts of the people below." Lu Changheng looked out at the snow field and sighed. "I originally thought it was just to patch up the gaps in the Three Struggles of Saints, but after half a year in the Eastern Territory, I came to Hebei again, and I lost my mind... With such a vast expanse of whiteness, what can I use to compete with Zhang Sanlang? I really think he is little Zhang Shizhao Is his name a fake? They can really stabilize the people in the east.”

"It's all in the past, and it's an established fact." Although Qian Tang was still looking at the paper, his tone calmed down inexplicably. "The key is the second half of his document... He said that Xue Changxiong is a military leader, he has no political ability, no view of the overall situation, he only knows the soldiers and horses in his hands, and only cares about the interests of the Italian army, so in the eyes of Hejian Daying Only those who maintain a strong army, taxation, and strong people's hearts have always been the army and the remnants of the people. They will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure conveyed by the powerful from the army everywhere, and will throw themselves into a trap and say that we local officials, it seems that the city has not been lost, but without the people under the rule, we have actually become dead bones in the grave, and we can only sit and watch The isolated city has neither the intention nor the ability to do anything, and the Hejian camp has no local assistance and restraint, it will only intensify and become unscrupulous, and it will be like a fish without water, and it will be easily defeated by their dethroning dragon gang... What do you think? "

"I..." Lu Changheng's face was a little dazed, a little scared, and a little hesitant.
suspect. "I'm afraid it will be so, even if he said so in public, it will still be so o"

"When I go back, I will go with Governor Cao of Qinghe and write a joint letter to Xue Changxiong, asking him to be more cautious. After the spring plowing, the common people will have a year to look forward to, and he will also prepare his troops. It won't be too late." Qian Tang calmly said. right. "And if he listens to my words, I will do my best to maintain the half-county situation here for him, and do my best for him, Zhongcheng, and the court."

"What if he doesn't agree?" Lu Changheng asked urgently.

Qian Tang didn't answer directly, but just looked at the palm of his hand holding the letter. Lu Changheng followed the trend, but saw sparks suddenly appeared on the fingertips of the other party, and then Li Huo's true energy exploded, instantly burning the leaflet to death .

"Then I will surrender." Qian Tang shook off the ashes of the paper in his hand, and picked up the wine. "Be my leader and see whether Zhang Xing or Bai Changjian has the fate of ten thousand chariots."

Lu Changheng was relieved.

And the next moment, after Qian Tang drank it all in one gulp, Fu felt a little sad again, "It can be regarded as worthy of Zhang Gong's exhortation before his death."

The snow is getting stronger outside.

Besides, before the New Year's Eve, heavy snow swept Hebei again, and after a new round of simple snow removal, even the Banxian County's Chulong Army camp fell into a kind of debauchery.
In the midst of relaxation and relief, many soldiers from the Eastern Border had already left, and some leaders also asked for leave to cross the river and go home.

The gate of Banxian County next to it was wide open. Although the supplies were poor, simple goods such as red-headed ropes, fried dough, and Ping An coins appeared, including fortune-telling, writing codes, etc.
Letters are also common... People in nearby cities, Wubao, and villages began to rejuvenate, and then showed the tenacity of life during the New Year.

Of course, in addition to this, of course, the iconic sports competitions in the big camp are indispensable.

Zhang Longtou was not idle either. He, Wei Xuanding, Xiong Bonan, and Wang Shuyong, who was left behind in place of Shan Tonghai, went to visit several docks occupied by the front line respectively. It's the night of New Year's Eve.

Not to mention sleeping all night, when it was dawn on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it seemed very boring at this time.

There will be a big banquet the day after tomorrow, but right now, Zhang Xing has nothing to do.There is really nothing to do, and he can't hang a military sword like Dou Xiaoniang, participate in competitions everywhere, use his own cultivation to compete with the sergeants for those profitable markets, and he can't gather like Wang Shuyong and Dou Lide A group of township people cook meat porridge and talk about the good life... Most people are doing this, even Wei Xuanding has his fellow countrymen to join him, and he is selling sour in his barracks
To be honest, Jia Yue was probably the only one who was as lonely as himself, who happened to be from the same town as him, and I should have asked him for some porridge.

But in fact, Zhang Xing didn't know what to say to Jia Yue... To talk about the customs of the Northland and the belief of the Hei Emperor, or to ask him if he misunderstood him?

I can't open my mouth.

So, Zhang Xing became so bored that he left the barracks, and used his true energy to practice jumping... After half a year of condensing his pills, he more or less mastered some skills of releasing his true energy.

In his opinion, the two true qi skills that are the hallmarks of the so-called condensing period, one

The so-called body-protecting true qi, one is true qi jumping, to put it bluntly, that’s what it is, it’s nothing more than treating the dantian’s own heaven and earth vitality as an engine or fuel storage device, and releasing it through the Zhengmai and Qijing .

Then according to the context, direction, and amount of the release, some seemingly mysterious things are formed.

Even, gentle, and comprehensive release is the body-protecting zhenqi, which is the simplest, and after a long time, it is easy to form muscle and vein memory, and it becomes a casual feeling like putting on clothes.

Use the meridians on the feet as the main way to release the true energy, the main meridian is the main channel, and the extra meridians are the supplementary ones. If you control and connect them, you can easily jump up.

But it is more dangerous, because it requires skill and experience when landing, and it also requires a lot of practice.

Including riding on a horse, releasing some true energy to resist gravity is actually a similar low-level skill variation, and correspondingly, Bai Yousi's "Lingbo Weibu" at that time is obviously a high-level skill variant.

Theoretically speaking, Zhang Xing has practiced the "Yi Jin Jing", and the amount of true qi stored does not seem to be comparable to common sense condensed pills, so he should still have advantages in some aspects, but in fact, he is a bit stupid in this aspect , It has been half a year, and I barely mastered the jumping skills, but I dare not easily apply them in actual combat, let alone "Lingbo Weibu".

But having said that, his true qi is to be full of energy, and this is something that other people can't learn from Ben.

Zhang Xing has seen with his own eyes that Cheng Zhili, Wang Shuyong and other people who have recently congealed alchemy cannot sustain high-intensity jumping and fighting for more than an hour.

Zhuge Yang was captured in one afternoon.

But so far he hasn't tested the limit of his true energy release.To the south of Daying in Banxian County is Douzigang. This hilly area mixed with saline-alkali swamps is already completely white at this time, only a few logging sites are slightly clear at high altitude.

It wasn't even noon, so Zhang Xing didn't hesitate, and continued to ignite his true energy and jumped over from one of the more obvious frozen swamp areas. Around noon, he came to the bank of the big river.

Then he was taken aback.

Because the big river, which usually looks like a watershed, is frozen like a mirror at this time, and even pedestrians and vehicles obviously pass by it like walking on flat ground...Where do we need to walk on the waves?

Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, his expression was in a trance, and then the cold zhenqi was released again under his feet, and he jumped up suddenly, but he actually went to the opposite bank of the river in the southeast with his hands behind his back.

At this time, the surroundings are white, and the top of the head is blue, with no variegated colors.

After Zhang Sanlang crossed the river, not only did his footsteps stop, but he accelerated frequently, and he went to Dengzhou along a slightly familiar road.

In the evening, I passed Zouping and came to Jishui. I even saw Gaoyuan County on the other side of the river through the same frozen Jishui.

At this time, Zhang Xing hesitated a little... Obviously, this journey is unlikely to arrive in Dengzhou tomorrow morning, and it may take the day after tomorrow. When it's time to go back, there is no delay in the matter.

But he didn't hesitate for a long time, then jumped up again and continued to go to the other side of Jishui.

At this time, a golden light flew by in the distance, and easily brushed across Jishui from a little further downstream... Zhang Xing was startled, and stopped on the embankment on the south bank of Jishui in surprise
Immediately, that golden light also turned back, and after a while, it landed in front of Zhang Xing.

"Why is Saburo here?" Bai Yousi smiled like a flower. "I miss you." Zhang Xing replied simply, equally pleasantly surprised. "Do you only want me alone?" Sanniang Bai rarely behaved like a little girl.

"No, when I was in the camp, I actually missed Qin Er, Li Si, and Yue Niang." Zhang Xing answered frankly. "If they were here, I might still be able to get through it, but they are not here, even if I try to find them, I can't find them... Therefore, today, within the four seas, between the heavens and the earth, apart from you, I don't know anyone else." Knowing who can still miss and who can still rely on hope, I walked to the river bank. When I came to the river bank, I couldn't restrain the feeling of missing you, so I directly crossed the river."

Bai Sanniang nodded, walked forward, supported the other person's cheeks with both hands, stared in her eyes, and breathed out "Me too."

The poem says:

Kunlun is my home, Zhongzhou is not my home.Will return to pay homage to the father of the East, and surpass the quicksand in one fell swoop.When the wings dance, the wind sings loudly.

Gold and stone are solid and easy to harm, and the sun and the moon have the same brilliance.Qi Nian and heaven and earth, ten thousand rides are safe enough.

PS: Everyone will know after a while that I'm really not lazy, it's just that I didn't hold on last night.
