In Weizhou, Hebei (now Qinyang, Hebei) across the river from Duji Road, he led the Heyang Sanguan, which straddles the banks of the big river, and the Heyang Jiedu of the three states and five counties in Hebei made Zhuge cool; Also standing on the city of Beiguan in Heyang, watching the rushing waves of the big river. It was only after such a winter that the white-haired man became more and more old-fashioned, his waist buckled, but his eyesight and determination remained clear.
He just stared at it like a statue. I don’t know how long it will be before a veteran with gray hair and spirit of nearly fifty years old hurriedly stepped forward to arch his hands:
"Have you heard of it at the festival?"
"What did you hear?"
Zhuge Shuang said in a soft voice unmoved:
"Nowadays, news from outside is spreading wildly. Before the break of the capital, King Huang had already summoned everything behind him to the Zhou clan in exchange for the rescue of the Taiping Army? So now, whether it is Da Qi Baoxi or Cao Later, the princes of Huang were all under the shelter of the Taiping Army!"
The veteran said in a somewhat eager breath: However, seeing Zhuge Shuang smiled slightly:
"Naturally I know, because most of the news is that I secretly let people out after the beginning of spring..."
"What! I forgive my subordinates for being rude, why is this!"
The veteran couldn't help being a little shocked and gaffe:
"Natural history made the Central Plains mess up again in order to muddy the water surface..."
Zhuge Shuang still wrote lightly:
"Yes...... But what are the benefits and benefits of this in this town?"
The veteran was dumbfounded:
"You don’t realize that in this huge Central Plains, there are too many people on each side? And what is it that I am in the middle of the three states and five counties of Heyang? Only when all parties are in chaos, my river Yang has the time to take advantage of the momentum and make progress!"
Zhuge Shuang said quietly:
"But, on the festival... How can the world be as desired!"
The veteran became more surprised and said:
"Yeah! How can the world be as expected? Now I can only do my best and ask the world's general situation to fight for the slightest breath..."
Zhuge Shuang also said sentimentally:
"On the festival..."
The veteran was a little speechless. Could it be that the town commander was so desperate for the only son Zhuge Zhongfang behind him, and he didn't hesitate to take the foundation of Heyang Town to take a risk. But he still wanted to fight for one or two and said solemnly:
"Please also the soldiers who have been with you for many years with a little worry during the festival, and be considerate of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in these three states and five counties!!"
"Yeah, I just have too little concern and consideration... Does this make you want to find another way out and introduce foreign aid?"
Zhuge Shuang seemed to be aware of it, and then exclaimed:
"What! Unreasonable, this is the falsehood and frame of the killer..."
Hearing this, the veteran couldn't help but shocked in disbelief, and suddenly retorted:
"It doesn't matter whether it is framed or falsely accused,"
However, Zhuge Shuang was not in the mood to discern him anymore, and suddenly turned to him and said:
"Zhong Duan, you have been with me since the city of Sizhou for thirty years, right?"
"This is the case. My old brothers are all related to each other. How can we trust others' means of separation at the festival?"
The veteran named Zhong Duan said this, but he stepped back vigilantly and pressed the sword on his waist, wanting to greet the guard he brought with him nearby.
However, Zhuge Shuang, who was still facing the Yellow River without looking back, said again:
"Because of this, are you more unscrupulous?"
"This statement on the festival is wrong, and the subordinates ask themselves that they have a clear conscience and dare to suffer this unjustified injustice!!"
The tone of the veteran Zhongduan also became dissatisfied:
"So, the Germans who colluded with Jingxing and wanted to rob my son's food and the future, so that people secretly communicated that Wei Bo thought that the relationship and activities of Jingjie's plot have nothing to do with you?"
Zhuge Shuang finally turned around to look at him and said:
"If you want to add a crime, why don't you worry about being nameless..."
The veteran Zhongduan said with an ugly face: he saw with stunned eyes that the guards he had brought had been raided and ambushed and killed, and the corpses were thrown into the Yellow River one after another. The whole body trembled and cold hands and feet gritted his teeth and drew his sword, wanting to do that desperate fight against Zhuge Shuang who was within easy reach.
"no way..."
It was just that he pulled out the cold light and shimmering sword and raised his foot to take a step, from the crossbow salvo that suddenly emerged from the wall, but after failing to drop this step, he collapsed and fell to the ground with blood from his nose and mouth. . And watching the deathless old subordinates being carried away, Zhuge Shuang was also full of sadness and nostalgia for a long time before he said to the pro who came up to ask for instructions:
"Let them do it..."
Although he still had the meaning before, but he didn't say it, that is, there is another intention to disrupt the situation in the Central Plains. Therefore, all parties in the Central Plains focused on this different attitude towards the Taiping Army. After fighting and mobilizing; he mastered the channels and main points of Henan and Hebei, and relatively attached to the forces of the Taiping Army to show the price. And the greatest value and significance of Gu come.
After all, he understands that his time is short, and his unique son Zhuge Zhongfang is not like an outstanding person who can hold onto this vital foundation. Therefore, compared with the fact that those old brothers and new-minded subordinates can't bear to stand up or resume their replacements; being able to use this as an opportunity and condition to exchange for a preferential status and status from the south is a good thing. Way out.
And the offensive of raising troops to the north to seize the land of Shangdang was only to increase this bargaining chip in the future. Anyway, Zhuge Shuang jumped back and forth between the imperial court and the rebels. He had followed Pang Xun and Huang Chao successively, and it was not too long to go to the Zhou clan, the lord of the Taiping Army. His reputation and reputation gained and lost.
In the city of Nanguan in Heyang on the opposite bank, Li Tangbin, the current deputy envoy of Duji Road, also drank sullen wine one by one to forget his sorrows. As one of the few soldiers and horses of the capital today, the old brother and leader of the rebels who are loyal and inclined to the new dynasty of the Qi Dynasty, his current identity is actually very embarrassing and marginal.
Because he was originally from Shang Rang’s old ministry, and after Dang Shang Rang abandoned the Daqi New Dynasty, he also gradually lost the trust and respect from Chang'an. In the East Capital headed by Zhu Laosan, he was still stationed in the army. His deputy, but the authority and accusation he held, he gradually broke away from the familiar army and turned to the affairs of camps and transportation.
Nowadays, even the Daqi Xinchao, whom he can be loyal to and rely on for his spiritual support, is gone; how can he not be suddenly disappointed and full of ****? However, what made him more annoyed and worried was that there were people beside him constantly persuading him:
"Deputy envoy, is it possible to let everyone sit and wait for death?"
"You're Mr. Shang who pulled it out with one hand! And no one in this world knows Mr. Shang's grievances from the monk that week..."
"In the past, when Daqi was still there, we still had something to use. In any case, staying behind must maintain basic decency and courtesy..."
"But now, the Taiping Army is about to take over the origins of the Yellow King, and it also declares that the world belongs to the new dynasty, and they all follow their orders and follow their orders..."
"However, once staying behind is really going to change the banner and belong to the Taiping Governor Mansion, then you and I are afraid that it will become an overweight to be handed over to please the monk of that week? ...
"Deputy Envoy, please do your elders well, and lead everyone to do something so that you don't wait for the knife to fall on your neck. You have to think about your position, and you must also think about the wealth and life of your wife and children!"
Hearing this, Li Bintang, who had been sullen and drunk, finally raised his head and asked with his drunken red eyes open:
"What can I do... now there is nothing..."
"As long as the deputy comes out and raises his arms, there will naturally be many old brothers who are willing to follow the scene; even if they are left behind and come in person, they will have to worry and compromise..."
The visitor couldn't help but get up on the railroad:
"It seems that you have already made your plans, so you just push me out of this one?"
However, Li Tangbin sneered:
"Please also ask the deputy to lead me to wait and earn a way to survive..."
However, the visitor knelt down with a plop and shouted: With his yelling, the doors and windows of the official hall were suddenly opened one after another, and you can see that the courtyard is full of black and pressure. A piece of armor and armor waited; they almost bowed down one after another and saluted:
"Please give me a way to survive..."
"Vice envoy, all right..."
"I can only count on the deputy..."
At this moment, Li Bintang couldn't help but stand up very moved, and walked to the door with a surging heart and turned into two words:
"you guys..."
