"Take good care of the general. with the best medicines and diet. ”

Zhou Huai'an said categorically to the doctor from the third heavy team.

"I'll check back regularly."

And for Zhou Huai'an, he now has good news and bad news.

The good news is that before Wang Pan fell into a coma, he personally completed the justifiable transfer of power, which also means that Zhou Huai'an can confidently use the "suspicion of Dinghui's henchmen" to clean up potential instability within the army; It doesn't have to be a killing, as long as there is a suspicion involved, and it is good to marginalize and powerless.

There is also a new round of recourse and liquidation of the local government in the name of "avenging the general"; After all, logically speaking, with their cooperation, they can calculate the head of Wang Pan; By the way, a round of cleanup and annexation was carried out against the rebel forces stationed in Chaozhou and Xunzhou.

The bad news is that the water behind this incident is very deep, so deep that there is a direct involvement from the General's Mansion; According to the interrogation and torture of the people involved in the capture of the rebels, although their knowledge of each of them is limited, they still put together the approximate cause of the incident.

The original cause was the unexpected performance and results of the Fury Camp in the Lingdong states; The new weak division led by Wang Pan was not only not dragged down or seriously weakened by the turmoil and chaos in the local area, but made many achievements and things from time to time; This made some people in the upper echelons of the rebel army, which was full of factions, start to worry.

Because according to the system of the various rebels under Huang Chao today, it can actually be divided into two categories;

The first is the 17 old battalions and the basic plate headed by each rate, which went south from the north, and the general's mansion set up by Huang Chao to provide the general needs of clothing, food, armor and equipment in the usual sense; then from the raids on the officers and the plundering of the localities were obtained as a daily supplement; Although there are factions and mountains with their own clans and township parties as their origins, they also have to accept the assignment and deployment of Huang Chao when fighting.

the other category is the formed periphery and local armed forces that defected and gathered along the way; Their quality and organization are somewhat obviously uneven, and many of them cannot even be equipped with basic weapons; Except for the regular allocation of grain and grass, everything else has to be captured and prepared by oneself, often directly demarcating an area for oneself to find a way to maintain.

And the binding force of the General's Mansion on them is far less than the former, and even has the meaning of leaving them to fend for themselves; As a result, there is considerable autonomy in terms of staffing and personnel. Anyway, as long as you can ensure that when you need it, you can pull enough people or provide corresponding supplies.

The originally rebuilt Furious Wind Camp was somewhere in between, because it was not only a food supply with the support of the General's Palace, but also a cheap place to take it by itself. Originally, there was nothing, but only a temporary temporary expediency, just like some other scattered rebel periphery; Although there were some voices of dissent, they were ignored inconsequentially.

However, as the Fury Wind Battalion belonged to the chaotic Lingdong, it surprisingly grew stronger, and after a local force of three or four thousand people regained the attention and appointment of the Great General's Mansion, things began to look completely different;

Therefore, Ding Hui, the former leader who originally stayed in the General's Mansion to listen to affairs, was a representative sent back by some people to strike first and seize the dominance of the Angry Wind Battalion. Because today's Angry Wind Battalion does not have a clear subordinate in the General's Mansion, but it has a tendency to become an independent hill in the local area, but the foundation and connections in the corresponding rebel army are quite shallow to the point that it can be said that it is almost equal to nothing.

Therefore, according to the expectations and intentions of the other party, if they can successfully seize power, they will take the initiative to ask in the name of the Angry Wind Battalion to become a vassal under the command of a certain Lu Yi Army, and bargain in the General's Mansion with a fait accompli to seek corresponding benefits for the parties concerned.

But that's just it, at least there is a long-term gradual process, under the basic bottom line within the rebel army system and the framework that you can't openly tear your face, the results that can only be obtained through open and secret fighting and see-saw infiltration, can be the most unfortunate can be from the Angry Wind Battalion, which has grown in strength, to pull away some men and territory and weaken it again.

However, the harvest on the tribute ship he brought back became a catalyst and an opportunity for these people to finally make up their minds to take risks and support Ding Hui to seize power immediately. Although the most valuable top deck and the fourth cabin part of this tribute ship have been selected by Zhou Huai'an, most of the remaining treasures have been put into the public account after being deducted, which is still a considerable amount of wealth, and no one can help but be tempted to plot.

After seizing control of the Raging Wind Camp through the Ding Society, it can be regarded as a considerable amount of income and supplement. Therefore, under such a huge temptation, the other party did not hesitate to send his capable men and horses to assist Ding Hui in seizing power by force to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Not only that, but the other side has also adopted another targeted approach in a two-pronged manner. Through the general's palace, the Qingtian envoys and tun guards who were newly dispatched to Xunzhou directly received the wind and entertained the banquet in the local area, and directly set up a bureau for the head Wang Pan to detain him; To ensure that there is no presence in the Fury Camp that can stand up to the court.

Of course, according to the excrement and urine of those captured in the city, they did not intend to harm Wang Pan's life, but only wanted to take him down and detain him; Until Chaoyang City Ding will make it a fait accompli, everything will be fine. Then he will be escorted to the Canton side, and Xiao will seek a false title as compensation for the gains and losses. It was only later that things went unexpected, and it became what it is now.

Despite this, the energy and resources that the other party can use from both official and private sources still make Zhou Huaian a little scary, especially when he goes north to Shaozhou to cooperate, which may also come from the other party's planning and operation.

Therefore, although the civil strife and crisis in the Furious Wind Camp have been resolved, it has also hurt the fundamental vitality; It is really out-and-out bad news to have such a strong opponent who has torn his face and does not hesitate to meet each other.

On the other hand, it depends on the response and response of the Cantonese side. Although Zhou Huai'an has basically unified the thoughts and attitudes of the whole army, he has also obtained the expediency of acting justifiably; But it's one thing to fight with other rebels in the future, but it's another thing to openly confront the authority from the General's Palace.

From this point of view, the Raging Wind Camp is too lacking in the corresponding foundation and foundation. So much so that there are no sources and channels for reporting information in the General's Mansion, and I can only hope that Cao Shixiong and others, who I met in the past, can knock on something at a paid price.

But in any case, the results of this trip back and forth will take several days to see, and he has to sort out and straighten out the internal affairs first, and at the same time control the current situation in the territory. For example, Zhou Huai'an, who was stationed in the relatively friendly Zhu Cunsuo Department in Changle County, did not plan to move him, but instead sent him a silk silk worth thousands of yuan, which was a gift to his Shangguan.

Then a special labor brigade was dispatched to rebuild and expand the abandoned city pass between the hills and mountain passes in the northeast of Changle County on the three-way road to rebuild and expand and strengthen and block it with wooden walls, and use it as a peripheral guard post and stronghold for the first road to the west on the grounds of collecting taxes and checking and preventing treachery.

Just as the so-called struggle on the surface and defense in private, both hands must be grasped tightly, and both hands must be strong, so that it is possible to still appeal to the other party despite the conclusive evidence, and attract criticism and accountability from the Cantonese side. The so-called dark side and selfish desires of the human heart were already seen when he was on the African continent.

Sometimes, for the sake of the so-called overall situation and a more favorable position for oneself, sacrificing the right things and the twists and turns that have made it clear between right and wrong are also common things in history and reality; The best examples are those mainstream media from European and American countries, or those domestic advocates who want to be on par with foreign countries in everything;

They are shouting high-sounding independent, free and fair positions, doing "political correctness" or defending the interest groups behind them, and using selective truths to induce the audience to recognize and obtain the public opinion and atmosphere they want.

In addition, the main culprits who made Wang Pan become such a have all been caught in Xunzhou City, but how to deal with it next is a little embarrassing. After all, they were sent in the name of the General's Mansion, and if something went wrong, the only way to do it would be to kill the sacrificial flag after the public trial.

。。。。。。

And a few days later, in the city of Guangzhou.

With the continuous spread of the epidemic, not only did pedestrians become more and more scarce, but even the camp of the rebels stationed in the city was moved out of the city one after another; And only some of the outer and inner city walls remained, the most basic garrisons and forces, and even the street patrols, have been significantly reduced in number and batches.

However, on the cold main street between Fanshan and Yushan, a group of people suddenly galloped past, and the sound of kicking went straight to the inner city, and finally fell in front of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion/General's Mansion, and with a general with a national face and silkworm eyebrows, he rushed in.

Then they were stopped at the gate behind the archway, and a doorman wearing a jacket and a belly hugging him said to this very old and capable general quite respectfully:

"Please also ask Zou Lang to stay in the first place, the new Yellow King has an order."

"In order to prevent the army from having a lot of people in the house, all the generals who enter and leave must stay in the door and wait. Own tea and hospitality. ”

"That's so, so it is."

General Zou Lang couldn't help but raise his silkworm eyebrows, waved his hand to the left and right and was led in.

Then he passed through the second gate, the third gate, and the winding cloister, and came to a side hall where he was routinely waiting outside the main courtyard. Zou Lang sat down on a hu bed, picked up the tea cup that had been brought up, and said that a figure hurriedly pushed the door and broke in, and said in a hurried and low voice.

"Old Zou, why did you come back suddenly."

"Is it possible, don't you know that your matter has already happened."

"So it is. . . Thank you Mr. Lee for reminding me. A certain family must be rewarded. ”

Suddenly startled, Zou Langjiang stood up suddenly, but even the teacup was knocked aside.

"Hurry up and change your outfit and walk out the side door with me."

Director Li urged with a worried face.

"If you don't leave, it's too late."

At this time, the footsteps of a series of nail leaves were already heard in the distance.
