Chapter 118: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
Zhang Xiang didn't expect that the uneasiness in his heart would be seen by Zhang Hao, "Father, I'm fine, I don't know why although I won this battle, I am not in a very good mood." “
Zhang Hao: "What do I think is the matter?" It's good to get drunk and get drunk in a bad mood, child, you have to remember that a man has to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, while a man like you has to shoulder more family responsibilities, they are all living on you, men are tired, men like you will only be more tired, but you have to remember that a man is working hard and don't say that he can't do it. “
Zhang Hao's words woke up Zhang Xiang like a slap in the head, and when he looked back and thought about the uneasiness in his heart, he really felt a little ridiculous, he might fail in the end, but he did have a good time, what is there to be disturbed?
The result of everyone's life is the same, but everyone's process is really different, and they are already much better than many people, and they may be stronger than everyone else in the future.
There are no regrets in this life, Zhang Xiang was drunk in Zhang Hao's room that day, collapsed under the wine table, Zhang Hao looked at his son who was unconscious, he knew that Zhang Xiang was very hard.
And this kind of hard work is something that he can't share as a father, all he can do is to accompany his son to drink, although it is insignificant, but Zhang Hao himself can only do this.
Zhang Hao felt that there was a son like Zhang Xiang, he was both relieved and blamed himself, blaming himself for not being able to help him, hating his incompetence, if Zhang Xiang was born in a big family, he would definitely not work as hard as he is now.
Then Zhang Hao kept pouring himself, and finally collapsed beside Zhang Xiang. After Bai Chunying came in, she looked at the two drunk fathers and sons, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only clean up silently.
When Zhang Xiang woke up the next day, he had a headache. But the uneasiness in his heart did disappear, Zhang Xiang did not forget that there were still many important things to deal with today, so he couldn't afford to delay a little.
Zhang Xiang looked at the sky and knew that he was getting up late, and went to the camp without even eating. The head of the house, the car, died in front of him.
It means that the power of Yanmen County will undergo a major reshuffle, and if the Xiangfei Army does not seize the opportunity at this time, it may rise to be an opponent like the Ziche family. This is not what Zhang Xiang wants to see.
Zhang Xiang knew that Xiang Feijun had just experienced a vicious battle and needed time to recuperate, but unfortunately the opportunity would not wait for anyone, so Zhang Xiang would do his best. Also to get a piece of the pie in this reshuffle.
The formation of power is like this: if you don't advance, you will retreat. Once you stop, it is easy to be overtaken by those who come after you, and then you will not face the hardships of the present, but the bleak future.
All the generals hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, they knew that Zhang Xiang must have a big event to discuss when he convened the generals at this time, and almost all the people arrived, but only Yang Xu did not arrive.
Yang Xu is always late, and Zhang Xiang is also a little used to it. Even if Zhang Xiang wanted to reprimand him, Yang Xu would always have his own reasons. made Zhang Xiang unable to speak, and apologized for his words.
After waiting for a while, Yang Xu finally came, and Zhang Xiang began to get down to business, "The Ziche family has gone through the battle of the county town to become a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be a few days away, and the family that invaded the county town with the Ziche family will also find out this fact, and they will also find out that our Xiangfei Army is strong and strong at this time, and the existence of these families is a great threat to us." “
I don't know why, Zhang Fei would speak first every time, always saying something that was not substantial, and he was tired of it, "How can these families of the third brother compare with us, and they will be scared away by you." “
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, don't always interrupt me, if it wasn't for our luck last time, now the owner of the county town will become these families, their strength is indeed stronger than us now, maybe they won't attack the county right away, but they will definitely attack Lou Fu, once they annex the Ziche family, the next thing is us, all we have to do is to suppress these families and not let them take the opportunity to become bigger." “
Yang Xu: "My lord, I have summarized a list of possible attacks on Ziche's family. Zhang Xiang looked at the families on this list, more than twice as many as the families in the coalition army, the Ziche family is really pushing the wall down this time!
Although the strength of these families is uneven, it is indeed scary to be tied together, and it is not something that Xiang Feijun can deal with at the moment, it seems that he can only ask for foreign help, "We are looking for a helper this time." ”
The generals are very ignorant and don't know who this helper is, but Yang Xu knows very well that there are only two forces with such strength in Bingzhou, one is Ding Yuan, but Ding Yuan will definitely not help Zhang Xiang become bigger, then there is only another force, "Lord You want to use the Hu people." ”
Yang Xu said very tactfully, the use of the word can indeed be more acceptable to the generals, after Yang Xu said this, Zhang Xiang also found that he did make a mistake, "Clever, but to be precise, Xianbei people, since we want to use it, of course, we have to choose a Hu person who we are not familiar with, and finally we can bite back with peace of mind." ”
Yang Xu: "The lord means to use the power of the Xianbei people to suppress these local families in Yanmen and let them eat dogs, but isn't the lord afraid of fighting wolves at the front door and welcoming tigers at the back door?" “
Zhang Xiang: "In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, we have to use another force Wuheng people, Wuheng people and Xianbei people have a fundamental difference, because of the regional relationship Xianbei people want to possess, Wuheng people are robbery, there is no conflict of interest between us and Wuheng people, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, we and Wuheng people will come to be the yellow finch!" "Now that the lord has already thought about it, I'll go and contact the Xianbei people now." Yang Xu left without saying a word, he really rushed to and fro, and other people didn't mean anything to Zhang Xiang at all.
The obligation of the generals to be present is to let them be prepared in advance, so as not to have any internal chaos at that time, since Yang Xu has left, there is no need for these people to stay here.
The generals left very interestingly, they were all used to being spectators, Yang Xu was very efficient, and he gave Zhang Xiang a reply two days later, and the messenger of the Xianbei people met Zhang Xiang.
Since of course you have to give the horses grass if you want the horses to run, Zhang Xiang has long been prepared for this, and Zhang Xiang doesn't really want to give the horses grass, it's just a blank check, and he is happy to see this side.
The envoy of the Xianbei people also soon came to the county of Yanmen, this messenger put on a high posture from the beginning of entering the city, Zhang Xiang knew that the Xianbei people wanted the lion to open his mouth this time, he wanted to see how big this mouth was.
Zhang Xiang attaches great importance to this cooperation, so he did a good job on the surface, and took out all the tea leaves that he had been cherishing, but the messenger of the Xianbei people said, "You Han people are really stingy, since you use these leaves to entertain us, we are warriors on the grassland and want to drink." “
Since these Xianbei people don't know the goods, Zhang Xiang also saves them from giving them tea to drink, it's really a waste of cow chewing peonies, "What the messenger said is that it is indeed me who is too stingy to make good wine." “
These Xianbei people drank strong wine and ate barbecue until they ate very fragrantly, and after they were full of wine and food, it was time to get to the point, Zhang Xiang knew very well that whoever spoke first at this time would be at a disadvantage.
But what Zhang Xiang wants is this downside, and the downwind has the advantage of having a downside, that is, this cooperation can be finalized as soon as possible, but whether the Xianbei people want it or not will be given in the end is what Zhang Xiang said.
Why bother with the length of this moment? Zhang Xiang spoke directly, "My thoughts should be very clear to your department, don't you know what conditions you have?" I will definitely try to be satisfied. “
This envoy has been dealing with the Han people for a long time, and knows the habits of the Han people, so why did he think that this matter would drag on for several days? I didn't expect this Yanmen county guard to be so happy, "Our patriarch attaches great importance to this cooperation, it depends on what kind of conditions Zhang county guard gives?" “
Zhang Xiang knew that the Xianbei people that Yang Xu found this time were a medium-sized tribe, such a tribe had a large number of people, and the medium-sized tribes of the Huns could gather 10,000 cavalry, and the Xianbei people would only be more, and they would want more things, "You mention the conditions first, I want to think about it carefully, okay?" “
Zhang Xiang didn't plan to give anything at all, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to this negotiation, and of course he didn't have any preparations, so he simply came to push the boat down the river and oppose the guest, and the envoy of the Xianbei people would not be polite, "Of course, what our patriarch wants is very simple, we want to be annoying." "I'm just a county guard, and I don't have the right to cut the land, but what I can guarantee is that I can acquiesce to your existence, but anything you do has nothing to do with me." When he heard the conditions of the Xianbei people, Zhang Xiang almost blossomed, the building trouble is there, you can take it if you want to, but it may not be possible to keep it, this blank check Zhang Xiang opened too smoothly.
The envoy of this Xianbei person did not expect that the negotiation would be so smooth, and said that Zhang Xiang was a friend of the Xianbei people, and the time for the two sides to discuss the start was set for ten days later, and I believe that the Ziche family would almost be destroyed at that time.
And the soldiers of those families in Yanmen will also be exhausted, and at that time, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and the envoy of the Xianbei people did not stay too long, and left the county overnight.
However, the attitude has changed greatly, and Zhang Xiang is like his own relatives, Zhang Xiang wants to vomit when he looks at this humble dog's face, and Zhang Xiang can only hold back for the sake of the overall situation.
In the past ten days, Xiang Feijun has been re-equipping and distributing, Zhang Xiang also released the news that he is going to fight with the Hu people, and there is indeed no shortage of hot-blooded men in Bingzhou, many people come here, Zhang Xiang also wantonly recruited soldiers to make up for his own losses, as for cultivation, let it go first! Zhang Xiang believed that war would be the best teacher for these new soldiers. (To be continued.) )
