"Three Thieves Zhang are wrong. The imperial court did not release grains, not because they were unwilling to save the people of Hebei, but because the people of Hebei have been hijacked by rebels like you. By releasing grains at this time, are they saving the people?

When you are trying to support the enemy, you must know that war is dangerous, life and death are at stake, and it is no trivial matter."

Unexpectedly, when Cao Lin remained silent for a long time, the person who came out to argue with Zhang Xing turned out to be Duan Wei, the Minister of War, who came with him.

This is very interesting. After all, although everyone does not understand the whole story, they are not blind people. Previously, Cao Lin dragged this person down, and the two people's posture was obviously inappropriate. Just now, Duan Wei was defeated by Cao Lin.

The more it hurts to laugh, the more weird it becomes... But at this point, at least when facing the "Three Thieves Zhang", the stance of this one of the Eight Nobles of the Eastern Capital and Minister of War is still sound.

Even what he said seemed to be a bit unreasonable.

"Who is speaking?"

As soon as Duan Wei's voice fell, and everyone was still undecided, Zhang Xing immediately spoke, but he didn't even look back, he just sat there and asked. "I'm here to attend the meeting, and I'm sitting in the outer circle, how can I speak without speaking?"

Tell me your name and origin?!"

This means that there is no overnight feud, and he immediately replied to "Three Thieves Zhang".

"Who am I?" Duan Wei was furious and yelled back, stroking his chest on the spot. "Who am I? Everyone here today can ask this question, except you and Li Ding! One of them is a long-time subordinate of my Ministry of War.

, who was personally recommended by me to serve in Wu'an after passing the Nanya Council; the other was in the Western Capital that day, hooked up with another of my subordinates, Wang Daiji, and plotted to go beyond me to frame Duke Mu in order to flatter the saint.

"How dare you say you don't know me?"

Li Ding glanced sideways at his old boss and said nothing. He guessed from the moment he appeared that Cao Lin had brought him here to suppress him, Mr. Li Laosi.

"So, who is your Excellency?" Zhang Xing still did not look back, but just looked at Zhang Bofeng opposite. "Master Zhang, if you invite me to wait for a meeting, you want to sit down and discuss the truth. Is there such a way of talking about being a thief?"

Zhang Bofeng opened his mouth to speak, but was embarrassed for a moment - on the one hand, he certainly felt that Duan Wei, a half-time military leader, was a bit rude, but on the other hand, even he instinctively thought that Zhang Xing was a thief, so he did not say anything to stop him at the time.

"Aren't you a thief?" Duan Wei didn't care at all that the three great masters were sitting in a row, and remained arrogant. "If you weren't a thief, there would be no thieves in the world!"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't discuss what it means to be a thief with someone like you." Zhang Xing's expression remained unchanged, and his figure remained unwavering. "This is like some unscrupulous person casually slandering a good man.

People would have to argue it out, even to the point of having a disembowelment to show innocence. If this is true, then all the good people in the world will be dead... However, what you said this time is too funny, so there is no harm in arguing, but

It won’t happen next time.”

Duan Wei sneered and said with disdain: "Even if you talk about flowers, you are still a thief."

"A thief has four meanings, the first is stealing; the second is cunning; the third is evil; the fourth is chaos..." Zhang Xing continued.

"Well said, you Zhang San just took advantage of this random word!" Duan Wei heard half of it and suddenly said something to bite him.

Moreover, although Duan Wei was too domineering, most people on the Hongshan platform believed that he was a thief who killed Zhang Xing. They already knew this by looking at Zhang Bofeng's reaction. Even the people who helped him knew this.

Although they are angry in their hearts, many people have always equated rebellion with being a thief. A few people, such as the nearest Xiong Bonan, Wei Xuanding and the farthest Dou Xiaoniang, feel something is wrong, but they don't know how to refute it.

In fact, even they felt that Zhang Xing should not take up this topic. He could just accuse the other party of being rude or directly admit that he is a traitor. There is no need to engage in verbal arguments and send himself away in vain.

into an inappropriate position.

Of course, there were also people who unexpectedly maintained their confidence in Zhang Sanlang... such was the case with Li Ding, who was sitting next to Wei Xuanding.

"In terms of thieves, it seems that the British Duke Bai Hengqiu is the first choice. After all, he has stolen more than 12 counties in Jin, so the British Duke is a thief." Zhang Xing was unhurried and ignored Duan Wei's interruption.

, and these words also aroused the reactions of many visitors from Jin. However, the reactions of these people did not seem to be that intense. They only increased their breathing and slightly changed their expressions, and they soon stopped a little as Zhang Xing continued to speak. "

As for the cunning ones, King Dai Ji of Huainan and Sima Huada of Jiangdu can be said to be among the most cunning thieves in the world; as for the evil ones, Zhang Jinsheng kills without restraint and for no reason, and he is one of the most evil people in recent years;

In terms of those responsible for the rebellion, it seems that I, Zhang Xing, did the most because I established the Gang, and the Gang is the leader of the rebel armies in the world, and the actions to eradicate the violent Wei are mostly our Gang's fault."

There seems to be nothing controversial about this, everyone understands it, not to mention most of the people here really understand it... But some people's eyelids twitched slightly, such as Zhang Gongshen... Of course, when everyone finally heard that Zhang Xing was not asking for it, they all knew it.

The words seemed endless.

Sure enough.

At this point, Zhang Xing stood up for the second time, looked around, and spoke with the help of Zhenqi and the south wind: "However, as far as I know, there is a father and son who only want to be thieves.

Bai Hengqiu, Wang Daiji, Sima Huada, Zhang Jinheng, Zhang Xing and others are so far behind that they can be called a small witch compared to a big witch. These are Cao Gu and Cao Che, with them..."

"presumptuous!"

This time, it was not Duan Wei who interrupted Zhang Xing, but Cao Lin. Following the stern scolding of the emperor's uncle, a sudden burst of invisible energy suddenly appeared out of thin air, and rushed towards Zhang Xing who was very close.

Come.

From Zhang Xing's point of view, although this energy was invisible, as soon as it was released, it seemed like a huge physical wave hitting him directly on the head.

It can be said to be unstoppable.

However, Zhang Xing was not knocked down by this infuriating force that was clearly beyond his ability to deal with it, nor did the people around him suffer any damage, because two equally powerful invisible infuriating energies rose up almost simultaneously with Uncle Cao Huang's scolding.

The invisible giant wave was forcefully torn apart in the air, forming a cyclone that spread across the platform, blowing away the south wind.

Uncle Cao Huang's face suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and pursed his lower lip. Then he met the scrutinizing gazes of Old Master Zhang and Taoist Chonghe. Obviously, personal attacks need to be distinguished and discussed, but taking action, and taking action right away,

This is absolutely not allowed.

Of course, after Old Master Zhang withdrew his gaze from Uncle Cao Huang, he glanced at Chong and Taoist Priest again, as if he was a little surprised that the latter suddenly came to help?

This clear confrontation between the three great masters was actually so restrained that except for the high-level practitioners within two or three circles, the others did not notice it at all and just thought it was a sudden whirlwind. It might even be that

Only Zhang Xing, who was in the middle of the confrontation, the three grand masters themselves, and several grand masters in the outer circle could detect the order and stance of the three grand masters.

Zhang Xing paused for a moment, as if nothing had happened, and then continued speaking as if nothing had happened. Even his voice and intonation, as well as the energy attached to them, had not changed at all:

"I'm sorry to be blunt, but with the Cao family of Bao Wei and his son here, who is qualified to be called a thief? I think Bai Hengqiu only stole more than a dozen counties of Bao Wei, but Cao Gu stole Guanlong from the Zhou Dynasty and Sima family.

, nearly a hundred counties in Jin, Bashu, Wanluo, are the real thieves of the country! Wang Daiji and Sima Huada are also cunning, but how can they deceive the generals of Guanlong and Zhuguo before they usurp the throne with Cao Gu?

Daughter, how powerful is it to coax them into thinking that the Cao family is a loyal minister? As for killing people as evil, Zhang Jinsheng is the bastard who has killed the most people in the past four or five years, but the people he killed are even worse than those killed by Cao Che.

What does it count? Have you forgotten how many civilians did not come back from the three expeditions to Dongyi? Or have you forgotten the people who died trying to send big trees to Xiudong? And there is talk of rebellion... Everyone, this is Hebei! Some things must be said

Are you going to keep saying it over and over again? Isn’t it Cao Che himself who is causing chaos in the world?! Isn’t he the biggest thief in the world by robbing the Cao family of Wei?! Then you dare ask our gang, and I, Zhang San, who rebelled against the biggest thief in the world

If you rebel against a thief, why should you still be a thief?! And since the monarchs of the two generations of Cao and Wei were both thieves, the biggest thief, how could it not be doomed?"

As soon as these words came out, the order in the field was finally no longer suppressed, especially the peripheral followers of the gang and several attendees who were inciting to respond. Among the rumors and echoes, many people with backgrounds in the Cao Wei court did not participate.

But they all remained silent. At most they whispered and discussed, but no one immediately stood up to refute.

Neither Cao Lin nor Duan Wei.

The main reason is of course the unmistakable attitude of Zhang Bofeng and Taoist Chong He just now, as well as Zhang Xing's brilliant rhetoric skills and his ability to launch surprise attacks to catch people off guard. However, at the same time, most people, including Cao Lin and Duan Wei, still felt that

There are people from the Wei Dynasty (Xue Changxiong?). In fact, they realized one thing very quickly, even very early, that is, in this place in Hebei, the Wei Dynasty cannot win the hearts of the people.

The Jin area is better, but a few days ago, after the news came that the British Duke Taiyuan took advantage of the Jin area and blatantly took over the entire military and political affairs of the Jin area, it is self-evident how the officials, people and soldiers of the Jin area reacted to the Wei... Anyway, he would not stand on the big side.

Wei is on the other end.

This is an objective fact. If Cao Lin refuses to acknowledge it and continues to pester, it will only make himself more embarrassed.

After Zhang Xing finished speaking, he sat down. There was a lot of discussion in the venue, and it took a while before it became quiet.

At this time, Zhang Bofeng spoke slowly: "If you ask me, what I just said is very good. Let's start with the current situation, and what is the current situation? It is that the Wei Dynasty is about to die, and the troubled times have begun. This is the truth. That's it.

Well, if you have to deceive others and make some perfunctory remarks, why discuss it? I am old and have old injuries. I have not left the south slope for decades. Now I go out to do this meeting.

So I ask you to seek truth from facts and speak cheerfully, otherwise why go down the south slope?"

As soon as the Grand Master opened his mouth, it was very effective, and everyone was naturally convinced. More importantly, Cao Lin just sat there without saying a word. He didn't know whether he was persuaded by the Grand Master, or he was ready to leave with despair.

?

But why didn't he just roll his sleeves? Has he already accepted this result in his heart? Or maybe he has other intentions?

"Cao Zhongcheng, let's be safe when you come." Zhang Bofeng looked at Cao Lin and comforted him a little, but in the eyes of others, it seemed more like a warning. "Even if you don't want to speak, it doesn't hurt to listen. Besides, Your Excellency

In addition to being the uncle of the current emperor, he is also a great master after all. Some of the discussions are still worth continuing to listen to." At this point, Old Master Zhang looked at Zhang Xing opposite again. "Zhang Sanlang... you talk about the current situation, talk about the Wei Dynasty.

Must perish, that's a good statement. There are so many people here today, no one can refute it, and I agree with it. But, are you saying that Cao Wei is a big thief, a giant thief, is it too harsh? Did Cao Wei annex?

He also established and strengthened many new systems such as Nanya, leading three provinces and six ministries, imperial examinations, etc. He also organized the world's water transportation and land routes, moved the capital to the Eastern Capital, and enabled the people of the world to enjoy a great experience that had not been seen in hundreds of years.

How can An Ding be easily dismissed as a thief?"

"I thought that someone like Master Zhang, who was a master of both civil and military affairs and had experienced many turmoils in the dynasty, and who was one of the great masters in the world, would have high opinions. Who would have thought, how could he say such despicable remarks that many people are prone to make?" Zhang Xing

Listen carefully, sit still, and immediately refute.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Bofeng was not annoyed at all and asked seriously. "How are my words despicable?"

"Master Zhang's greatest despicable thing is that he regards a regime as big as Cao Wei, which lasted for decades and almost unified the world, as the simplest thing to judge." Zhang Xing raised his voice and answered seriously. "I say Cao Wei.

They want to perish because the two generations of monarchs were great thieves in the world. Does this mean that they deny the achievements of Cao Wei? This is like a man who was robbing someone on the roadside and was knifed into his stomach. He is about to die. Listen, everyone.

Everyone clapped their hands after talking about it, but this matter has nothing to do with whether this person is filial to his parents, whether he is smart or not, how tall and fat he is, whether he is handsome, whether he worked hard when he was a child to draw Qi and build the foundation, and even whether his left arm and right arm are intact.

Is there any necessary relationship between whether the legs are strong or not?"

Zhang Bofeng was obviously stunned and thoughtful.

Zhang Xing also continued: "I don't know if you have similar troubles. When I was the chief of the gang, in charge of local general affairs and the entire gang's personnel, the most troublesome thing was to force myself not to do things because of one person.

A momentary omission, cowardice, mistake, failure, and stupidity can completely reject a person. Don't rely on a person because of a momentary thoughtfulness, bravery, correctness, victory, and intelligence. But what's more, even more

You cannot ignore a person's temporary excellence or inferiority because of his overall and final performance. In addition to people, the same is true for the gains and losses of things, and the pros and cons of plans... Master Zhang."

"Huh?" Zhang Bofeng seemed a little lost in thought.
To be continued...
