If you are in a hurry without distractions, it is also a random thing for Xie Shence and these people to walk hundreds of miles a day, but they have only entered Shandong Road for two days, and their speed has slowed down.

"According to the news, the cavalry of the Yan people, the recent sporadic sentry cavalry, has actually reached the Maji River, and this speed has far exceeded expectations...... In everyone's previous analysis, because the Yan people wanted to divide Hebei Province with Sima Bi, two months was not enough time for them to annex all of Hebei Province and then go south, and now it seems that everyone is wrong......"

Xie Shence was in the low hut, carefully pointing to the map and analyzing.

"The current grasp of the situation...... It's not mastered, it's just blind...... At present, Sima Bi may have reached some kind of agreement with the Yan people a long time ago, and he can occupy the entire Hebei Province as quickly as possible without hindering the division of interests, and then slowly plot it. ”

"The news from the north, in fact, in the entire Hebei Province, it is estimated that less than thirty percent of the people who rebelled with Sima Bi were not enough, and half of the remaining seventy percent had no position, and half and half were steered by the wind. For the rest, half are staunch capitulators, and the last half are staunch resistance. To appease, to coax, to coerce and lure, and finally to kill, Sima Bi's army has not appeared on the frontal battlefield for a long time, perhaps because of this. ”

"He is in the rear, killing all the resistors as quickly as possible, clenching the hands that are in his hands, and the free hand is easy to beat......"

"But it won't be too long. He will press on the army when the influence of the matter is still at its peak, that is, when people are most panicked and worried, give the final blow to some people, crush their psychological defenses, and obtain the greatest results at the lowest cost......"

Xie Shence analyzed, and then everyone discussed some solutions, but they were not on the key, and in the end they dispersed and had no good opinions.

After the dispersal, Xie Shence and King Li Yan whispered together.

"Master, the gang of horse bandits is unreliable, and we are confused, and it is not a long-term plan. This time, I want to make a difference in Shandong Province, but I have to rely on its strength, in case of failure, death is small, it will affect many people. ”

King Li Yan said: "So you dispersed all the horse bandits yesterday, and then left only a few of us, firstly, out of secrecy, and secondly, I am afraid that more people will not be involved." ”

"Master's eyes are really as wise as ......a torch," Xie Shence sighed and said, "My Xie family is in Shandong Province and has no foundation. Although Li Tu was my grandfather's student, he was not completely on the same path as the Xie family. In the turmoil a few years ago, Li Tu was attacked, and my Xie family did not have the strength to protect it, this time he regained power, and for my Xie family, there may not be a mustard...... In this way, I have to be more careful when I act in Shandong Province. ”

"Let's not talk about Wei Liao. He was in charge of the Tiqi Division earlier than me, and his subordinates have countless ears and eyes, even if I didn't retire from the Tiqi Division three years ago, there is no complete guarantee that there will be no Wei Liao in the Tiqi Division. What's more, in some things, I have no conflict with Wei Liao. Most of the decrees he made when he was in charge of the Tiqi Division have been retained, and I have not revised any of them except for necessary innovations, which certainly makes some of my burdens not to be burdened with new officials, but also allows some Wei Liao's people to hide. ”

"It's not that I didn't want to completely eliminate Wei Liao's influence, but first, it is impossible to make it obvious - it is easy to cause a backlash if you eat badly, and secondly, it is also because of ....... There's really no good way to do it. Although Emperor Jin will not entrust Wei Liao with the important task of the center, he trusts him after all, and he can still exert his residual heat in the local area after retiring from the Tiqi Division, and in the past few decades, there is no better admiral than him. I can't move easily......"

"So in Shandong Dao, except for the flowing forces of the Xie family, the Gaomen clan, I won't trust anyone, and I can't believe it."

"Then how dare you trust horse bandits?" King Li Yan asked.

The corners of Xie Shence's mouth tugged at a smile: "Because...... They are the people who have the least to do with the Great Jin Dynasty and the official government of Shandong Province. ”

"Without the imperial court, the horse bandits can still survive, and without the government, the horse bandits are even more unrestrained. The officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, for the horse bandits, is not a collection of security concepts, but a shackle, or even a ...... Disaster. Because the officials have no kindness to them, the officials want them to go back to the fields and be obedient slaves, not a sharp blade that can fall off at any moment and separate their necks. ”

"If you can't survive, you will go up to the mountains to be bandits, and after a period of time in the mountains, you are used to being free, so you don't want to go back to discipline them...... In fact, that's not really freedom, there will be things that can't be done, and when things come, they have to catch them. Perhaps it is because of the different understanding of freedom, some people think that freedom is to do what you want, but I think that freedom is the right to refuse. ”

"But now, it's useless to refuse, because no one will think that your refusal can be executed," Xie said. When a lot of people see someone resisting, they will smile and say, 'Look, there's a Diao Min there, he's against me, he dares to oppose me,' and then a group of people will use their absolute advantage to crush that opponent to slag." With this proof, he is irresistible. After that, he took away what shouldn't have belonged to him with peace of mind. ”

King Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Along the way, I have heard you say too many words, too many rebellious words, and some words I don't understand...... As your elder, you understand some things that are actually beyond me, and I can't teach you anything and can't advise you anything, I can only say that what you said may not be right, but it should make sense. ”

"I've been through something, and I may agree with what you're talking about, the definition of freedom. So I think maybe you're right. ”

In the Battle of Hangu Pass that year, as the youngest commander of the Five Thousand Mo Sword Army who was the last to evacuate the battlefield, and one of the very few people who survived, as for whether he could say no to reality, he actually had great empathy.

If the logistics supply can't keep up, it will be saved, so it will kill war horses and even eat "white meat". The reinforcements have to be carefully calculated after a long time, how many staff members are white-headed for this, the unstable military spirit needs to be suppressed with absolute majesty, and the subsequent war took a sharp turn, and had to use all the Modao army and the big white fish cavalry to fight to the death, all of which were had to be done. If it is not useful, the battle of Hangu Pass...... Maybe it didn't end with the alliance under the city, and the rock god of the Great Jin Dynasty would not have died.

Many times, you want to say no, you shout out, but no one will listen to you. Even if many people shout together, it will not have an effect.

When the battalion commander blocked the iron spear that passed through his chest for him, King Li Yan shouted no, and then the battalion commander died. After attacking and killing the battalion commander, the big white fish cavalryman had a cold look in his eyes, and he flashed with a riding spear, and King Li Yan still didn't know who he was, but he recorded his eyes, so that for a long time after that, it was a nightmare.

When he learned of Sima Deguang's death, King Li Yan also shouted no, but everyone is dead, so what's wrong? Can you come back to life by shouting? The military's exclusion of Sima Deguang's lineage and Sima Bi's paranoia finally made him disheartened, and he went to Huaiyang Dao to be a small Modao instructor for twenty years.

The world is cold.

Your voice resounded in your own heart, and no one else could hear it.

This is the summary that King Li Yan got after thinking about a lot of things many years later.

"So...... It has to be heard, and then recognized. ”

Xie Shence smiled slightly.

"It's a long process, and even if it's thousands of years, there won't necessarily be such a day. But if you eat a bite of food, you will walk step by step, and if you walk, you may not arrive, and if you don't walk, you will definitely not arrive. ”

A few hundred miles away from Xie Shence, the female horse bandit on a horse said to the woman with a slightly bulging belly next to her: "You have to eat the food in one bite, and the road has to walk step by step, you have to die, don't die here, you have to die, and you have to eat enough to have the strength to die...... I'm a bandit, but I'm not a rebel, so I don't really want you to die. My overlord flower has a word, dozens of horses can't be pulled back, Tian Zi has to accept punishment if he breaks the rules, but since he didn't kill our family's Xiaoliu, I won't kill you. ”

Lin Wu'er, who was sitting on the horse and feeling uncomfortable, realized at this time that the woman with her face covered in front of her was actually a horse bandit who everyone in Shandong Dao regarded as a jackal, and it was also an overlord flower that made ordinary horse bandits smell and change color.

Overlord Flower is a eunuch, a pervert who likes women's clothing, or a woman's speculation, which can be heard everywhere in Shandong Road. Some people say that they saw with their own eyes the thin overlord flower sucking the blood of men and women under the moon; Some people say that he is actually a man and a woman, who likes to dress up as a woman to seduce men, and he also has eloquent words, and many people believe it; Some people even say that the overlord flower is a woman, and she once saw it in the Cangzhou camp with her own eyes, wearing iron armor and carrying an iron sword to prevent her eyebrows.

There are more legends, in short, maybe it is the rumors spread by the overlord flower in order to maintain its mystery, or it may be the result of people spreading falsehoods, but in short, the overlord flower is a mystery.

Today, Lin Wu'er finally met the overlord flower herself.

It was a woman, tall and tall, carrying a sword on her back, who spoke very roughly, deliberately loud and rough, which made people feel very rude.

This is a legendary woman, but ......

Who wants to meet her! I don't want to meet her at all..... Lin Wu'er thought so in her heart. She is still so verbose, she has said so much along the way, who wants to die, who is going to die here, it's just crazy......

knows some things about Tian Zi, Tian Zi treats her very well, and some things in business and officialdom are generally not hidden from her, so Lin Wu'er knows about Overlord Flower, and she also knows that the relationship between Overlord Flower, a horse bandit, is not harmonious with her family, and then ...... Then something happened, because Tian Zi was anxious to raise food and offended the overlord flower, she was robbed.

She thought about the tragic situation after being robbed, so she had the courage to pick up a hidden arrow to defend herself, and also thought that if she couldn't defend herself and was caught, she didn't want to be humiliated, so she committed suicide with a dagger hidden in her arm. However, what she didn't expect was that the person who called herself Cao Baqi was not Cao Baqi, but the leader of Overlord Flower's subordinates, and when she wanted to commit suicide after she understood that the whole thing was weird and absurd, the woman who suddenly appeared was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed a distance of two or three feet, and flew the dagger in her hand into the sky with one finger.

At that moment, Lin Wu'er really thought that she had encountered a ghost. Then she never had the chance to kill herself.
