I dare not say that they are all human spirits, but they are definitely indispensable.

Especially Feng Chang, the most senior person, has been particularly proactive recently.

"Chief." Feng Chang thought over and over again, stood up, came to the couch, avoided the wooden barrel, and spoke in a low voice. "Do you want to send another official document to urge Li Longtou?"

"What are you urging him for?" Zhang Xingping asked, as if he had realized what the other party meant.

"Anything can be done to urge you." Feng Chang whispered. "Anyway, I want to remind Li Longtou and vaguely protect him, so that people know that Li Longtou has a reason for his troubles."

"That's alright." Zhang Xing sighed. "Send an official document urging him to go west as soon as possible to open the passage to northern Shanxi."

Feng Chang immediately responded and turned around.

Zhang Xingze lowered his head to look at the head again and sighed in his heart... He actually knew that everything was in vain, because Li Si was simply enjoying it.

That's right, Li Ding has never been forced to do this for any purpose, or did it deliberately for specific indicators. He just likes this. Using the least costly method to obtain the final result is a reward for him. Realization

This process is the source of his pleasure.

This seems to be a good thing, even if this matter now is unlikely to have any serious consequences.

But the problem is that everything, including Li Si himself, seems to be wrapped up in a pure military category.

The education he received when he was young was military education, and what he studied on his own was military theory. The job he took on when he was young was military work. Later, when troubled times began, all his achievements came from military feedback.

This person is not without other talents, character, and charm, but it seems that all of them are to serve his military behavior.

Therefore, when other perspectives conflict with the military perspective, he will unconditionally choose the military perspective.

King Zhang Sanxiong, just tell me how well I fought in this battle, right?

What can it do? It will become a natural target for internal political struggles in any political system!

But there is no way. It’s not scary to have problems. What’s scary is that this guy can’t change them until he dies.

What's even more terrible is that Chief Zhang Da knows very well that he has already designed the direction of this peerless sword, and according to the plan, in the next few years, Li Ding's military enjoyment will be needed to break the deadlock.

In other words, the person who caused Li Si to be in this situation is Zhang San, and he will continue to push him to go down this road.

While he was thinking wildly, Qin Bao suddenly came in, looked at the barrel, bowed and said his job: "Chief, I heard that the head of the second senior officer has arrived?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing glanced at the other party and immediately came to his senses. "Are you asking for a favor to replace Luo Shu's head for burial?"

"yes."

"Okay, it's been exactly three days." Zhang Xing thought for a while. "Take it down at noon tomorrow and give it to your aunt. Isn't Luo Xin's body also here? Give it to her for burial."

"Thank you, Chief, for your generosity." Qin Bao felt relieved.

"What should I say?" Zhang Xing saw that the other party was in a bad state. "You can't bear the pressure these days?"

"After all, she is an aunt, and she has lost her husband and son. I can't ignore it, let alone dislike it, but it's really like sitting on pins and needles." Qin Bao shook his head. "It's worse than those days when I couldn't move on the couch... Don't forget, he

I didn’t kill any of my husband or son well, but the death of both of them was related to me.”

"It's hard for you." Zhang Xing naturally had nothing to say.

Qin Bao had no choice but to sit on the couch again and asked: "Third brother, Hebei has been calmed down and there is no war anymore?"

"What, you want to go out and hide?"

"That's true." Qin Bao nodded. "Hide and wait until she returns to Henan to see my mother, and it will save me trouble."

"It's hard to say." Zhang Xing patted a pile of documents on the desk and said. "If we really want to fight, we can only go north, west, east..."

"To the east?" Qin Bao was slightly surprised.

"The news just arrived yesterday..." Zhang Xing explained briefly. "The news from Cheng Dalang in Dengzhou said that Dongyi navy appeared on the coast and tried to land and rob the people."

"They probably knew that we were launching a large-scale Northern Expedition and came to see if we could make some gains." Qin Bao immediately gave his opinion. "Luolongtan and the sea are separated by hundreds of miles. Even if the real dragon coming here is seriously injured,

Without adequate preparations and enough troops to allow them to gain a foothold, they won't really fight us...and we don't have a navy, so we can't just fight if we want to."

"That's right." Zhang Xing also agreed. "After what happened last time, we and Dongyi were at war with each other. We are enemies rather than friends. I'm afraid this kind of thing will become the norm in the future."

"The west and the north..."

"There is a Wang Bicheng to the west. He used to move from Yanmen in northern Shanxi to Shanggu in Hebei. After being defeated once by Wei Wenda's troops, he couldn't stay any longer. He crossed northern Shanxi and went to Dingxiang area to defect to Liangshi City. Now he is backed by Baidao.

Chen Ling from Guan kept trying to invade Dingxiang... Do you remember Chen Ling? He is now Liang Shicheng's right-hand man."

"I will never forget it in my life." Qin Bao sneered and asked seriously. "Are we going to beat them now? Xue Ting and Liang Shicheng should be Bai Hengqiu's henchmen, right? Bai Hengqiu should be beating Xue now.

quite?"

"We must be fighting." Zhang Xing nodded. "But whether we fight Liangshi City depends not on Bai Hengqiu, but on Hong Changya's intention... If he and the people in northern Shanxi are determined to fight, we can only

Go fight."

"Yes." Qin Bao nodded. "We don't have the final say on this matter...and it's too far away. I'm afraid Li Silang will have to deal with it if there's a fight."

When Zhang Xing heard this, he was inexplicably hesitant. He was obviously thinking about something. After a moment, he continued: "To the north are Liucheng and Luobocheng. In the north are the Eight Gongs and Seven Guards. These two cities are next to Yanshan Mountain. They have been destroyed by the Great Wall for a long time.

Wei used various means to seize it, and now it is Guanlong Gaomen who is attacking the prince... It is reasonable to say that we should fight, but..."

"But we have to say hello to the people who are fighting against the demon guards." Qin Bao understood immediately. "But we are progressing too fast!"

Zhang Xing nodded.

Qin Bao also stood up helplessly: "Then I will go to the camp in Linsang Palace and hide for a while."

"Take the head out." Zhang Xing pointed.

Qin Bao slung the barrel on his arm and carried it away like a food box containing pancakes.

As soon as Qin Bao left, Feng Chang delivered the official document he had prepared.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing took the official document, read it carefully for a while, suddenly tore the official document in half, and then threw it into the wicker basket on the ground.

Feng Chang was startled and quickly stood up solemnly, waiting for instructions.

"Draft three new military orders." Zhang Xing listened to the sound of raindrops outside the window and changed his mind. "The first one was given to all the leaders on the Yanshan front line, asking each department to take the initiative to investigate and contact Liucheng and Luobocheng, and to take the initiative to contact the White Wolf Guards and Tieshan

Guard, tell them that we are going to take Liucheng and Luobocheng... treat the people of Dangmo Guard in a good manner, do not allow any conflicts, and finally ask someone with the command level of the other party to come over."

"Yes." Feng Chang nodded immediately.

"The second military order was given to Shan Tonghai and Dan Longtou, asking him to go north at high speed, enter northern Shanxi from Feihuxing, and assist Hong Changya and Hong Longtou to control the situation."

"yes……"

"The third military order is given to Li Ding, asking him to lead troops to Youzhou and prepare to invade the north!"

"..."

"What?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but ask when he saw the other party paused and didn't respond.

"Chief, are you a little eager to be aggressive in Beidi?" Feng Chang asked cautiously. "I agree with inviting Li Longtou to come to Youzhou, but diplomacy should be the main focus in Beidi? At least we should try diplomacy first...

...Moreover, we have swallowed the whole of Hebei in one go this time. If we want to eat it all, it will take time. The expansion of personnel, the expansion of the military system, and the re-granting of land in local areas will have to wait until after autumn. It is all trouble. These days are busy.

That’s clear evidence.”

"What you said makes sense." Zhang Xing thought for a while and replied seriously. "But if we attack the two cities, we can press our troops directly into the heart of the north. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to fight. Every time we send out troops, our heads must be white. It is said that people are suffering.

Not enough. Isn’t it normal to have secluded scenery and look north at the same time?”

Feng Chang nodded, sighed, and immediately changed the subject: "The chief is right, the North is so cold that it is almost impossible to march in winter. If we can't take advantage of the warm weather to attack now, we will waste a whole year.

We still have to regroup and march north... In that case, I will draft the documents now."

After Feng Chang left, he drafted more than three military orders in a short time. After reading it, Chief Zhang had no objections, so he signed the words "Zhang San" one by one, and then stamped the chief seal that had been carved just before the Northern Expedition.

It was then encapsulated by the consultant and officially transmitted through the gang's patrol system.

There is no doubt about the speed of transmitting military orders. In theory, it would take one day to reach Li Ding by changing horses, but even so, Li Silang's arrival in Youzhou City on the first day of April still seems a bit too fast.

He actually came here lightly.

When he arrived, it was already sunny here in Youzhou City, and Chief Zhang himself was not at the General Manager's Mansion, but on the north city wall. After hearing the news, Li Ding went up to the city wall without waiting, but saw an ordinary scene.

"You are a country bumpkin outside the city, but the stuffing is in the city. Eat one for each person, don't think it's tasteless." Seeing Li Si's arrival, Zhang San didn't know whose poem he had stolen.

Li Si looked at the new graves in the north of the city, then turned back to look inside the city. Sure enough, he saw coffins on both sides of the city gate. Then he lowered his head and counted, and couldn't help but frown: "Seven days? Five days in the Central Plains?"

Days, three days in the south of the Yangtze River, seven days in the north... But what are you crazy about? Aren't people going to die in a war? The head of a country, the commander-in-chief of an army, is here to lament the lives of the enemy's troops? "

"Li Si, you must cherish what you are seeing." Zhang Xing was extremely speechless. "Now I can still say a few words to you. When it comes time to go on an expedition thousands of miles alone, you just want to say to me that you may not be able to find me.

"

Li Ding was slightly startled and immediately asked: "Do you really want to attack Beidi immediately?"

"Fight." Chief Zhang did not hesitate. "First take down Liucheng and Luobocheng. I will go to find the demon guards to negotiate at the same time. If we can negotiate quickly, you can continue to move north. It is best to fight before winter."

When we go to Tingtao City...even if we can't beat it this year, we will beat it next year. Anyway, you are the coach of the North."

Li Ding took a long breath: "That's good, I thought you were going to withdraw my military power."

Zhang Xing looked back in surprise.

Li Ding was horrified by the sight. At this time, the coffins in the city also began to be transported out. There was a burst of crying inside and outside the city gate. In desperation, Li Silang could only respond in a low voice: "It's Wang Chen who was shocked. He escorted the grain and grass from the rear..."

"
