"Why is that?"

After Zhang Lang heard Fan Gui's proposal not to withdraw his troops, he was a little stunned.

Liangzhou'er is now in the limelight, and at this time, it is not a trivial matter to disobey his military orders!

A haze appeared in Fan Gui's eyes, and even the light that came in from outside the tent could not be dispelled, and he said with a sneer:

"My brother tried to guard the head of Jiangyi, but he was personally sent by the Hedong County Government, but he was fabricated by Liangzhou'er for no reason and killed on the spot, and the other county lieutenants, county officials, and surnames in Jiangyi City were even more spared, Zhang Jun went back at this time, what kind of fate did he think he could end?"

"Uh."

Zhang Lang was choked by Fan Gui's words and couldn't say anything.

In terms of identity, Fan Yong is a member of the Fan clan in Anyi, and his own Zhang clan is too far apart from him. In terms of position, Fan Yong is the head of a county under the jurisdiction of the Hedong County Government, while Zhang Lang is a Sima who was transferred to Yan Xing, and the power between the two cannot be compared. As for the other county lieutenants and surnames, most of them are the head snakes of Jiangyi, and the energy in the city, Zhang Lang thinks that he can't compare to them.

However, after Yan Xing arrived in Jiangyi, he was either killed or imprisoned in just a few days, smoothing out these bright and dark obstacles, and firmly controlling Jiangyi in his own hands.

Especially Fan Yong's death, Zhang Lang was particularly stimulated.

In addition to Fan's prestige and his connections in the county government, he himself is also a powerful character, and Fan Yong and Fan Gui have enveloped Zhang Lang together, promising to find a clan sister for Zhang Lang in the clan as a good match for Zhang Lang.

But now, Fan Yong, who had something to do with him, died in a blink of an eye, and he was still cut off in the county temple hall, which couldn't help but make Zhang Lang feel uneasy.

Among some of the crimes involved in Fan Yong, if you dig deeper, not only Fan Gui can't escape, but even Zhang Lang can't escape.

Fan Gui saw Zhang Lang's timidity and vacillation, he smiled and continued:

"In the past few years, not only the war in Hedong, but also the world, the chaos has already been revealed, and we are in control of the soldiers and horses, advancing and retreating freely, enough to protect ourselves and wait and see the situation. But if he returns to Jiangyi City, he will fall under the control of Liangzhou'er, and it will not be a matter of his words to kill or kill at that time. ”

"The husband is in the world, when he is a male flyer, how can he be a female in front of others!"

"This?"

Although Fan Gui was right, and Zhang Lang was indeed moved, he still couldn't make up his mind, so he could only say hesitantly:

"But that's—it's—too risky."

Fan Gui knew that Zhang Lang was already moved, and he sneered.

"If you want the future to be safe, what's so difficult, we just need to find a way to let the white wave thieves attack wantonly, and immediately make Liangzhou'er and the soldiers and horses he brought exhausted, when the time comes, I'm afraid that he will beg us to help him and defend the Fenshui coast, which is a fortunate thing, where do you dare to ask me for trouble!"

Hearing Fan Gui's plan, Zhang Lang suddenly realized, but then retracted his expression and said with some scruples:

"But Liangzhou'er has just broken the white wave thieves in Xiangling, and the white wave thieves on the other side have also shrunk back into Linfen City, so there is no big war at all. And if we rashly go forward to provoke and lead the white wave thieves on the other side to attack, whether the strategy can be successful or not, once it is done, the white wave thieves will attack in a big way, and it will be us who will be attacked. If Liangzhou'er comes to stand still, wouldn't he be able to borrow the knife of the white wave thief to kill us. This is no better than leading the troops back to Jiangyi! ”

Fan Gui's eyes flashed brightly, and he said:

"What you said, I have already thought about it before, so we can't go to Linfen to provoke the white wave thief."

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, think about it, Zhai Hao's group of Xiliang soldiers defending Jiuji Mountain has just defeated the white wave thieves in Xiangling, but if at this time, the white wave thieves in Xiangling also sent people to attack them, what do you think they will do?"

"Ah, you mean, we're sending someone to pretend to be a White Wave Thief—"

Zhang Lang, who followed Fan Gui's train of thought, suddenly shouted, he understood Fan Gui's method of countering the Xiliang soldiers.

Didn't Xiliang Bing want to use the head of the white wave thief to consolidate his authority and unite people's hearts, then let him taste the consequences of provoking tens of thousands of white wave moth thieves.

However, after shouting, Zhang Lang was a little worried, and asked:

"This kind of small quarrel and skirmish caused by our secret provocation can really lead to a big fight between the White Wave Thieves and the Xiliang Soldiers?"

"Hahaha."

Seeing that Zhang Lang was still hesitating when things came to an end, Fan Gui finally couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he stared at Zhang Lang and said:

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Beiliang, the border city of Wu, bordered Chu. One day, when a mulberry picker in Wu was picking mulberry leaves at the border, she had a quarrel with another mulberry picker in Chu because of a dispute over the mulberry leaves on the mulberry tree on the border. ”

"And after hearing the news, the families of the two daughters also rushed to the mulberry tree one after another, beating and scolding each other, and then Ding Zhuang and the county pawn in the township, and in the end, first the people of Beiliang swept the township of Chu, and then the king of Chu heard the news and ordered the capture of Beiliang of Wu, and finally Wu also sent troops to attack Chu, and finally there were many wars between Wu and Chu, and the soldiers were endless!"

After telling the story of "Beiliang's Provocation", Fan Gui asked Zhang Lang with a cold smile.

"Wu and Chu, who had no soldiers, caused a war because of some small provocations, not to mention the Xiliang soldiers and white wave thieves who were originally mortal enemies?"

After listening to Fan Gui's words, Zhang Lang looked pensive and did not answer, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"I understand what you mean, I listen to you, I'll go and choose people!"

After speaking, Zhang Lang didn't hesitate, turned around and left, and walked out of the tent in a few steps.

Fan Gui, who was left, was still sitting on the seat.

Liangzhou'er killed Fan Yong, but he was afraid that although Anyi City would not do anything to him for the time being, the pressure was like an overwhelming sea of mountains, and he would definitely put pressure on him.

But after he survived for a while, he would suddenly find that he had fallen into the swamp of the white wave thief and could not extricate himself.

Thinking of this, the corners of Fan Gui's mouth curved an arc, and he smiled secretly:

"The side is contemptible, just a reckless man, and he oppresses people with courage in vain, this time, you are so comfortable!"

···

Two days later, the captain's tent in the barracks outside the city of Jiangyi.

"Are the soldiers and horses along the Fenshui still unwilling to return?"

Yan Xing sat in front of his desk, looked at the documents related to military intelligence, and asked the next Xi Zhicai in his mouth.

"Although the two of them took the military order, Fan Gui and Zhang Lang both told them not to withdraw their troops easily on the grounds of the frequent movements of the white wave thieves on the other side, and they were reluctant to withdraw their camps and return."

Xi Zhicai said lightly.

After hearing the excuse of the two of them to shirk and return to Jiangyi, Yan Xing couldn't help but sneer.

"Fan and Zhang are really bold enough to cover the sky, and they actually falsely reported the military situation ahead, don't you think I don't know. The target of the White Wave Thief's attack was in the Pi family, Xiangling and Linfen were only feints, and the elite of the thieves in Xiangling were all wiped out by me at the foot of Jiuji Mountain, and the thieves in Linfen, hearing the bad news, had already retreated back to Linfen City overnight. ”

"On the west bank of Fenshui, how many white wave thieves can try to attack, at most there are only some sentry posts, and the white wave movement is completely fabricated by the two of them, and they want to use this method to continue to delay time."

"Everything is indeed as the captain said, but the two of them are holding soldiers and horses, like grass cobs who have divided the territory, they have already tasted the sweetness of violating orders, and they have done a lot of crimes with Fan Yong before. At the moment, Fan Yong had already been punished, and the two were afraid that they would be shocked and annoyed in the army, so they made a thousand excuses and were reluctant to lead the army to return. ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, Yan Xing, who was holding the bamboo slip, sneered, threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the case, Huo Ran got up and said:

"In that case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He turned to look at Xi Zhicai at the bottom and asked:

"Yuanshan, is there any news coming back?"

"There is news from Anyi, the Hedong County Government has a lot of complaints about the captain who killed the head of Shoujiangyi sent by them, but in the face of ironclad evidence, there is no big action for the time being, and Niu Zhonglang will have a military order over there, and there is no accusation for the time being, although Yuan Shan has not yet sent the message back, but it is expected that he will be able to do things properly!"

"Well, that's fine!"

Yan Xing nodded, but his face was still solemn.

Looking at Yan Xing's thoughtful appearance, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and said:

"Captain, are you planning to take away the right of Fan and Zhang to lead the troops?"

"Well, although I control Jiangyi now, I can also jam them on the money, grain, rice, and grain, and force them to lead the troops back and enter the camp to apologize. But in doing so, firstly, to teach the truth, and secondly, it also takes a lot of time, which is not in line with my wishes, and my decision is that I should immediately send troops and start to take down Fan and Zhang! ”

When he saw in Xiangling that many of the families of the Bai Bo Army spontaneously began to plant wheat, Yan Xing knew that time was running out, and integrating the hearts and minds of the people of Jiangyi to recover the various cities in the northeast of the river could not be delayed any longer.

Therefore, Yan Xing decided that without waiting for Zhou Liang to come back, he would first take action to solve Fan Gui and Zhang Lang, the two army who were still planning to make a false deal with him and disobey his own orders, and completely control the two battalions of semi-independent Hedong soldiers into his own hands.

Speaking of taking down Fan Gui and Zhang Lang, Yan Xing thought of something and began to ask again:

"Fan Gui and Zhang Lang's crimes, have you also found out?"

After Zhou Liang left, these visits to the illegal and cruel people were handed over to Xi Zhicai, and when he heard Yan Xing's question, he immediately replied:

"The crimes of Fan Gui and Zhang Lang have also been investigated, and with the breakthrough of the county temple, these people's past crimes cannot escape. Salt and iron thieves and white wave thieves Kou Tong. They have also done a lot of things by assigning soldiers and horses to set up checkpoints along the way, exploiting and robbing the property of the fleeing people, and killing innocent refugees without permission! ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's answer, Yan Xing nodded and said with a smile:

"Good, with these ironclad evidence, I see how Zhang Lang and Fan Gui can continue to deal with delays."

Xi Zhi knew that Yan Xing had decided to do it, he thought about it, and still said:

"Captain, Fan Gui is a tricky person, we killed Fan Yong again, this person is indeed indispensable. But Zhang Lang, although he echoed Fan Yong, Fan Gui and others, but he was also quite brave in fighting with the white wave thieves, and he was also quite able to win the morale of the people, if he killed him, he was afraid that the soldiers of Hedong County would be unstable, should he stay first? ”

Yan Xing listened to Xi Zhicai's words, the corners of his eyes closed slightly, he also knew that Zhang Lang was a brave man, and he seemed to be thinking about gains and losses, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and a fine light burst out in his eyes, and he said categorically:

"Wei Xuanzi" has a saying: "Whoever is punished is so Ming Wu, kill one person and the three armies are shocked, kill him." Kill one person and all people are happy, kill him. The killing is expensive, the reward is small, and it should be killed, although it is valuable, it will be killed, and it is a punishment. ”

"Fan Yong, who killed the evil and cruel people in front, can make the people of Qianshou in Jiangyi applaud, and now he kills Zhang Lang, who is quite prestigious, can make the soldiers of Hedong County afraid and dare not act against the order again, then he must be killed!"

After listening to Yan Xing's decision after thinking about it, Xi Zhi nodded, but still continued:

"Then the military heart of the follow-up Hedong County soldiers-"

Yan Xing knew what Xi Zhicai was worried about, so he immediately interrupted Xi Zhicai's words and added:

"These two battalions of Hedong County soldiers have been aware of them many times, but they have turned a blind eye, so I can only force them, as for the problem of the army's heart, I already have a preliminary plan in my heart, and I will discuss it with you in the future!"

With Yan Xing's words, Xi Zhicai didn't say much anymore, he could sense that since Yan Xing returned from Xiangling, his mood had also changed a little, and the action of integrating Jiangyi had accelerated a lot.

After Yan Xing and Xi Zhicai decided the life and death of Fan Gui and Zhang Lang, they followed the original plan and said:

"This time, I plan to let Bo Yi lead the troops to take over the Hedong County soldiers, he is a native of Hedong, and he is a soldier of the Northern Army, and he is in charge of the army.

"And Hongqi is doing things safely, and he can be used as a deputy to assist Bo Yi."

"Zhai Hao knows a lot of things about the Hedong County soldiers, so he can also send the Xiliang cavalry under his command to deter those Hedong County soldiers with bad intentions!"

After talking about the candidates, Yan Xing looked at Xi Zhicai and asked:

"Zhicai, what do you think, but there is anything to add?"

Xi Zhicai listened to Yan Xing's words, his face was contemplative, and he also thought for a while, Yan Xing was not in a hurry, looked at the tent door, and stood like this waiting for him.

"Captain, my subordinates think that in order to take over the soldiers of Hedong County, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is necessary to send Dianjun and Yan Jun to wait over!"

Just now, Yan Xing had already decided on Cao Yuan, Wei Xuan, and Zhai Hao, and Xi Zhicai had added Dian Wei and Yan Xing at this time, which was already half of the military officials under Yan Xing's command, thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but look at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai added:

"Zhang Lang is known for his bravery, although Zhai Hao is brave, but when he was in Jiangyi before, he was repeatedly controlled by Fan, Zhang and others, and I am afraid that he will not be able to really deter Zhang Lang. In order to prevent and Zhang Liang's urgency, when they do bad things, they need to send a pawn, with him, although Zhang Lang is brave, he can't do anything! ”

"And Yan Junhou is known to be quick and wise, and he is also very thoughtful, and he can cooperate with Cao Jun and others to prevent him from entering the camp of the Hedong County soldiers and falling for Fan Gui's tricks······"

These details, Xi Zhicai thought about them very well, and they were added very well, Yan Xing thought about it and immediately agreed.

After Yan Xing agreed on this matter, he turned his eyes to the tent door, through the tent door, he could see the orderly appearance of the military camp outside the door, Yan Xing clenched his fists, and his heart slowly sounded in his heart.

"Since the mountain can't come, then I'll go over!"
