Zhang Liang came and went in a hurry.

On the small slope, Gongsun Xun was silent all the time, and even closed his eyes and became distracted, and it took a long time to open his eyes.

"Lord!" Seeing this, Lou Gui hurriedly stepped forward. "This matter ......"

"Call Zhang Sheng over." Gongsun Xun said simply.

"Whoa!"

Zhang Sheng lost his soul, and he came to Gongsun Xun like a walking corpse with a nine-section scepter in his hand...... In fact, yesterday Zhang Sheng went to Zhang Jiao in order to explain the matter clearly, so he told everything about everything, and he already knew that the 'Zhang Bao Letter' held by Gongsun Xun in the temple of Xiangguo County that day was fake, and because of this, he broke off the knot for a while, and became more and more active because of the guilt of the great sage and good teacher.

However, now, it can only be said that all the previous thoughts of this leader of the Taiping Dao of the Zhao Kingdom are like jokes.

And under the ups and downs, the more Zhang Sheng felt guilty about the Zhang brothers yesterday, the more he felt that the clouds were cleared, the more resentful and depressed he felt today! resentment, naturally, is resentment that the great sage and good brother are so unkind, and give up himself and a group of Taiping Taoist people in Zhao State; is frustrated, and he laments that he is a small person, like a dead grass in the wind in the transactions of big people such as Liu Yan, Zhang Jiao, and Gongsun Xun, and has no way to hold himself.

But even so, Zhang Sheng is not willing to give up the last shred of hope...... Not for himself, but for his subordinates who believe in the "Taiping Sutra" and run in the countryside wholeheartedly for the sake of peace.

"The prince is above!" Zhang Sheng threw down the nine-section scepter in his hand, and after kowtowing to the other party stiffly, it was also very crisp. "Uncle Fang was stabbed, and he wanted to explain to the Taiping Daoists of Zhao State, Sheng, as the leader, knew that he was unlucky, but many Taoists under his command were innocent......

"Could it be that I have wronged you?" Lou Gui on the side was quite speechless when he heard this. "Isn't it your Taiping Dao who assassinated Uncle Fang? Aren't you a registered disciple of your great sage and good teacher? Aren't those of your subordinates Taiping Daoists? After all, if you feel that you are not willing to die, it is okay, as for your innocence...... How innocent are you? ”

Faced with Lou Zibo's repeated questions, the tall and thin Zhang Sheng pursed his lips and was speechless for a while, just kneeling there, because he knew that if he didn't answer this question well, he might not be able to save his subordinates.

Of course, Gongsun Xun didn't mean to urge him, and he just sat on the horse and squinted his eyes like Guan Yu beside him, looking at the river embankment construction site that had become busy and lively in the distance because of the morning meal.

"Returning to Lou Du Post." After a long time, Zhang Sheng bowed to Lou Gui sideways, and then gritted his teeth and explained. "The rebellious people who assassinated Uncle Fang are the Julu Zhang brothers, and our Taiping Dao is just a poor person who was deceived and coaxed by them through the scriptures and righteousness of the Taiping Sutra...... Please also learn with the prince! ”

"You can say this, but you really have a little awakening." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the horse, withdrew his gaze from a distance, and then stared at this person again. "But I still have to ask you...... Why the hell is that horn trying to deceive you? What are they going to lend you for? ”

"What else can be done?" Zhang Sheng reluctantly raised his head and gritted his teeth at Gongsun Xun. "Didn't the prince ask me to defend this matter that day? This great sage and good teacher of my family has worked hard to manage and contact all parties, which is nothing more than to rebel and usurp the throne, replace Cangtian with Huang Tian, and replace Liu with Zhang! ”

"That's a good point." Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, but asked again. "Then let me ask you again, are you really all innocent people in the Taiping Dao? Was it really all coaxed in by your great sages? ”

"It's not!" Zhang Sheng replied without hesitation. Except for those who are used to preach like me, most of the leaders in our Taiping Dao are powerful families from all over the world, and they are either dissatisfied with the Han family for a long time because they cannot enter the army, or they are simply ambitious...... These people are one with the great sages and good teachers, such as the poor people who believe in the Taiping Sutra in my generation, but they are just ......"

"But what?" Gongsun Xun is good at persuasion.

"In rebellion, there must always be soldiers in the front." Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly for a moment. "My generation thinks that he is educating the people, curing the sick and saving people, and bringing peace to the world, but in fact, he is just gathering manpower for the great sages and good teachers to plan great things, like accomplices...... I understand what the prince means, my generation really deserves to die! ”

Guan Yu, who had always seemed to be unresponsive, finally opened his eyes and turned to look at the lower reaches of the Qilu River...... Zhang Liang was walking along the river just now.

"Actually, if I can talk about the previous step, I won't kill your subordinates." Gongsun Xun squinted at this person and said. "At this point, I won't even kill you...... You also know that the Taiping Dao is of 36 sizes, all over the world, if it is not controlled, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world, and it is more appropriate to keep you in charge of the Taiping Dao affairs of Zhao Guo than to kill you. ”

Zhang Sheng had already raised his head with red eyes, and when he heard this, he leaned over and bowed again without hesitation: "I already understand what the prince means!" But with me, I will never let Zhao Guo's Taiping Dao be in turmoil. Even if it really comes to the day when things are wrong, it will definitely repay the prince! It's just that...... It's just that if the prince doesn't kill me at this time, why should he explain it to Uncle Fang? And if this matter can't be explained, how can Julu not have doubts about me? ”

"It's okay!" Lou Zibo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected. "Do you recognize Wang Xian, the royal Taoist?"

"That ugly Taoist from the Taiyuan Wang family?" Zhang Sheng's heart moved slightly. "This generation is not very good, but because he was born in a famous family, Julu looks up to him very highly, and he is also close to the great sages and teachers in the teaching. It's just recently that I heard that he went to be a guest at the side of the Prime Minister of the State in Handan. ”

"Then he said that he was pleading." Lou Zibo said disapprerovingly. "We will naturally get the royal people to cooperate. As for how to explain to Uncle Fang, you must not forget, you are not the only leader of the Taiping Dao of Zhao Kingdom......"

"Not bad." Gongsun Xun also opened his mouth again expressionlessly. "Cloud Chief."

"Yes." Guan Yu replied proudly.

"Your case has not been dismissed, so it is not good to be appointed." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "But at this time, there is no one around me, and I am about to borrow your courage!"

"Please wait for your orders."

"This Taiping Dao assassination history is a while, and you have heard a lot of inside information, and there are some things that you have not had time to say to you...... However, the person who is fat with Ma just mentioned, although he is older and is called Ma's husband left and right, is the family of the eunuch's son, and he is also a person who is connected to the local Taiping Taoist and the powerful and wealthy, and he is not innocent. ”

"Where can the disciples of the rebellious generation, the family members of the eunuchs, be innocent? What does the prince want from me? ”

"Without him, now I will ask Yun Chang to go to the other side of the river, find Dong Zhao, the county magistrate of Xiangguo, and Zhang Yan, the county lieutenant in my name, and then ask them to send someone to hunt down the fat horse husband with you, as well as those Taiping Dao people who are attached to him, and the strong and rich people who are close to Taiping Dao, also pick a few unscrupulous people to kill together! Make a lot of noise! ”

"Whoa!"

"After killing people, the head will be pickled, and I have to ask Yun Chang, from Xiangguo to Yecheng, all the way along the way to publicly spread the head of this horse fat, and publicly tell everyone that the assassin of Uncle Fang the day before yesterday was this Taiping Dao horse fat!"

"Whoa!"

"And Uncle Zi," Gongsun Xunfu commanded again. "When Yun Chang comes back from killing people, you will immediately send someone to Handan and ask Ziheng to draft a document to question Zhang Jiao in the name of the country...... asked Zhang Jiao to donate a thousand gold to Zizhou Zhong as a fine for his failure to discipline the Taiping. ”

"Got it!" Lou Gui is also praised and full of energy. "Do you have any orders?"

"Not yet!" Gongsun Xun said as he suddenly got up.

"That's right." Seeing that Gongsun Xun had the intention of going to the embankment after giving the order, Lou Gui also suddenly remembered something. "Although the prince is well, he might as well continue to live here, and there is no need to go to the river embankment......

"If I'm already sick, why do I want to live here and disturb people?" Gongsun Xun said disapprenously, and then his footsteps did not stop, and he was already going down the slope. "Besides, the river embankment will be completed, this is a hundred-year work, how can I be anticlimactic because of an assassination and a wind chill?"

"That's not what I mean," Lou Gui quickly explained. "Don't hide it from the monarch, before I made my own decisions, went to Handan to ask the master's mother to send someone to take care of the prince, the messenger wrote overnight, saying that the master's mother has now sent Mrs. Qin over, I'm afraid it will be there tonight, I'm afraid there is something discordant on ......the river embankment."

"I won't go back to Handan, and I'll let Luo Fu go back directly." Gongsun Xun didn't squint, and had already come down the slope with his hands down. "Zhang Sheng, the words that promised to divide half of Xintian and the poor people of Zhao State before still count now, you are so self-conscious!"

Everyone was speechless for a while, Lou Gui paused for a moment, and naturally sent someone to greet and send him back to Qin Luofu, and then immediately chased after him. And Guan Yu also had to kill people and pickle his head, so he had already followed Gongsun Xun down the hill from the beginning.

There is only one Zhang Sheng, who was betrayed first, and now he has come back to life, so he only feels soft and has been lying on the ground. However, after a moment's wait, he still managed to straighten his body and stood up with his nine-section staff in his grip!

No matter what, those Taoists under his command survived, and they also survived, and the Taiping Dao believers of Zhao State still respected themselves, and they finally had some reason to straighten up.

At the end of the year, in fact, the sky has gradually warmed up, and there are some signs of thawing in the Qilu River, so Guan Yunchang, who has just changed his words, is stepping on the pontoon bridge to cross the river to the north, and he wants to kill people, in order to repay Gongsun Xun's simplicity and trust.

And after Guan Yu's figure disappeared on the north bank, Lou Gui on the river embankment couldn't help but speak: "Why did the prince deal with Zhang Sheng like this? ”

"Why can't I do this?" Gongsun Xun retracted his gaze and immediately turned his head and asked.

"The night before yesterday," Lou Gui said earnestly. "Didn't the prince say that he had already been invited by his uncle to kill with a knife in an open and honest manner, and was ready to strike with all his strength to destroy the Taiping Dao? In this case, why do you still put so much thought into Zhang Sheng? Killed together, won't Zhao Guo be stable? And by doing so, it can also make Taiping Road relax its vigilance. ”

"I'll be outspoken." Gongsun Xun took the initiative to avoid his crowd on the embankment, but he still did not hide his henchman. "Zhang Liang's actions today, and the attitude he expressed on behalf of that great sage and good teacher, always make me feel that something is wrong......"

Lou Gui was slightly stunned.

"It's too rough." Gongsun Xun said simply. "I always feel that this way of dealing with Taiping Road is too rough! And this kind of behavior of abandoning subordinates at will is too utilitarian, isn't this Zhang brother afraid of losing people's hearts? ”

Lou Gui thought for a moment and then reacted: "Does the prince mean that he thinks Zhang Jiao has other arrangements?" Or do you think that this great sage and mentor is like us, he is doing a delaying tactic, and then secretly intends to act? ”

"Isn't that right?"

"I think the prince thinks highly of them." Lou Zibo shook his head again and again. "Since the failure of the rebellion that day, everything the Zhang brothers have done is to seek rebellion and utilitarianism...... collusion with the powerful is for talents, weapons, money and food; Debating the righteousness with the surrounding Confucians is for the sake of righteousness; Spreading the doctrine is for the soldiers. ”

"Perhaps." Gongsun Xun sighed. "But it's always better to be careful. And besides, Zhang Jiao's side may just be overestimated, but Liu Yan's here may not necessarily be reliable......"

"What do you mean by that?" Lou Gui just got up.

"What can you say?" Gongsun Xun said with a sneer. "I just thought about it over there...... Liu Junlang is the assassin of Jizhou, an important minister of the clan, and there are a bunch of Jianghan clans behind him to rely on. So what if he wants to take advantage of his position and Luozhong's connections, and in turn give me and Zhang Jiao to play together? With a little trick, this clearly marked price of borrowing a knife to kill people may become a situation where the snipe and the clam hold each other and the fisherman profits, right? ”

"For example?" Lou Gui was puzzled for a moment. "This uncle promised to give the prince a big county first, since we have to pay first......

"The gains and losses in this matter are not just the rewards." Gongsun Xun sneered more and more. "What about giving a big county taishou? If he gave me the Taishou, but did not bypass the attendants and set the exact blame for the Taiping Dao as promised...... In the end, if things are not harmonious, and Zhang Jiao is 'forced to rebel' by me, a fierce person who is good at killing innocents, won't the Son of Heaven want to kill me to thank the world?! ”

"Indeed." Lou Zibo was shocked: "In fact, in the final analysis, the Taiping Dao is powerful, and if it is not handled well, there will be chaos, and the Son of Heaven will definitely not like it at that time." And Uncle Fang is not slippery, everything is only for personal gain, even for revenge, how can he really be willing to take on such a shocking role? But it doesn't seem to be good, after all, what Taiping Dao did the day before yesterday was to want him to die......"

"That's right." Gongsun Xun put away his smile and sighed at Lou Gui. "People's hearts are unpredictable, God knows what Liu Junlang thinks?"

"But if that's the case, how do we deal with it?"

"How?" Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "Naturally, I want to hide this suspicion in my heart, and then be careful against Taiping Dao, and calm down with Fang Bozhen!"

"Is it enough to calm down?" Lou Gui was still puzzled.

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun laughed. "Just wait for him to ask him for an official document in advance. If he gives it, I will definitely fulfill the agreement and turn around and take down the Zhang brothers; And if he doesn't have this official document with me, I won't touch Zhang Jiao, and directly take the post of the county magistrate he sent, and go straight to office. ”

Lou Gui was speechless for a moment.

"Of course." Gongsun Xun looked at the north embankment and said quietly. "There is no need for this new strong man to know about this calculation, let alone some other people......"

Lou Gui said yes, but he couldn't help but look back at a group of Zhao magnates who rushed to hear the news in the distance...... When these people heard that Gongsun Xun had woken up, they couldn't wait to come to the division of the land.
