Chapter 584: Begin to plan
"Brother Zang Ba, you are serious about this, what do you take in or not, you and I are brothers, and when you come, you are a family. I'm planning to return to Donglai now, I'll give you two days, you lead your troops and horses to Donglaijun to find me, and I'll tell you what we're going to do next!" ”
Zang Ba's consent also made Liu Zheng feel very good, he was still worried that he was still a little difficult in the face of Liu Guanzhang and even Cao Cao's army of nearly 100,000, but now out of thin air, with the help of some Taishan bandits, he has strengthened his strength.
However, Liu Zheng also understands that although Zang Ba cooperates with him, these bandits are huge after all, and it is not a simple word of refuge to make Zang Ba lead so many bandits to come directly, it still takes a process.
This process is that Zang Ba returned to their cottage and brought the people who were really willing to follow him and join Liu Zheng, and those thieves who no longer wanted to live this kind of life gave them some money and were dismissed on the spot.
That's why Liu Zheng gave them two days.
At the same time, Liu Zheng didn't ask about this battle at all, and he didn't even have a word about Zhao Yu's life and death, and he was free to deal with Zang Ba.
After the two finished chatting here, Liu Zheng asked Zang Ba to go back, and Donglai gathered two days later.
Zang Ba returned to the battlefield, and Sun Guan and the others behind him immediately came up, and when they saw their boss coming back, the expressions on their faces calmed down a little.
At least Zang Ba is back, which means that Zang Ba has no worries about his life.
"Big boss!"
"Chief, it's okay."
His subordinates stood up and asked Zang Ba, who smiled and comforted them.
Wu Anguo sent Zang Ba back, and with a smile on his face, he knew that Zang Ba would definitely become his colleague in the future, and his impression of Zang Ba was a little better.
"Brother Zang Ba, let's leave, please take your go."
After saying that, Wu Anguo left from here.
Liu Zheng and these people, after talking to Zang Ba, led their men and horses to return to Donglai, and it only took five or six days before and after.
After returning to Donglai, Liu Zheng rested in Donglai for two days, of course, he imprisoned Cao Bao and others in a camp, and did not let them go for the time being, in order not to reveal the news, he could only arrange this for the time being.
After waiting for two days, the sailor fleet that had returned to Yangzhou and accepted the Wenpin army was also sent here at this time.
Originally, Liu Zheng didn't have any soldiers and horses to deal with Liu Bei's and others' army, but now that Wenpin's men and horses arrived in Qingzhou, Liu Zheng finally had some confidence.
Anyway, counting the people hired above, Liu Zheng has more than 20,000 troops in Qingzhou.
With more than 20,000 horses, plus Zhang Ning's tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, Liu Zheng finally had some confidence to confront Liu Guan, Zhang Cao Cao and others.
If his surprise attack plan can succeed, I believe that relying on these people, Liu Zheng can even defeat Liu Guanzhang in one fell swoop.
Two days later, Zang Ba really brought someone here and found Liu Zheng.
is similar to what Liu Zheng expected, according to Liu Zheng's previous guess, it is unlikely that all the thieves will follow Zang Ba to join Liu Zheng, and there will definitely be some people who are tired of this life and want to be a farmer in the mountains of Mount Tai with peace of mind.
Zang Ba also brought only more than 13,000 people.
With Zang Ba's refuge, Liu Zheng was very happy, and he picked up Zang Ba and others on the same day. At the wine table, while drinking wine, he described to Zang Ba Liu Zheng's next plan.
Originally, there were no Cao Bao and Zang Ba and others, Liu Zheng's plan was relatively simple, that is, to rush to Beihai as quickly as possible, and then unite Zhang Ning's men and horses to confront Liu Guanzhang, and wait until Tai Shici's men and horses attacked Xuzhou, and forced Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Taoqian to return to help, so that the pressure on Liu Zheng and Zhang Ning would be reduced.
And then in the Qingzhou battlefield, it also played some advantages.
However, now that Cao Bao and Zang Ba are available, Liu Zheng needs to change his original plan, at least, he has a new idea, which may be able to hit those officials and soldiers hard.
First of all, Cao Bao, Cao Bao is Tao Qian's person, the other party doesn't know yet, Liu Zheng has let Cao Bao rebel, so let Cao Bao continue to cause some turmoil here, and then pretend to let Tao Qian and Liu Bei and others think that Cao Bao really did something big in Donglai County, and after spreading the news to the ears of Tao Qian and others.
Cao Bao led his men and horses again and went to Beihai to meet Tao Qian and others.
In fact, Liu Zheng used his own people, pretending to be Cao Bao's people, and the people led by Cao Bao have become Liu Zheng's people.
And Liu Zhengzhi appeared in Beihai to meet Zhang Ning, and invited Liu Guanzhang and others to fight in Beihai to attract their attention.
When Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao and others gathered in Beihai, Liu Zheng suddenly made a difficulty, so that Zhang Ning's men and horses and his own men and horses gathered together to launch an attack on Liu Guanzhang, which was bound to be a situation between the two at this time.
But Liu Zheng now has the assistance of these bandits, which gives Liu Zheng some hole cards.
There are some more soldiers and horses, and these bandits under Zang Ba, no matter what their combat effectiveness is, at least the number of people is here, and they will definitely be able to give Liu Guanzhang some threats.
After some explanation, at the wine table, Zang Ba finally understood what Liu Zheng meant. After listening to it, I was also very excited, if it was really as Liu Zheng said, and defeated those officers and troops in one fell swoop, not only Qingzhou could be controlled in his hands, but even Xuzhou could be involved.
After Zang Ba's people came to Liu Zheng's place, Liu Zheng had no need to wait, and ordered Wen Ping's subordinates, disguised as Cao Bao's subordinates, to start attacking the county seat in Donglai, and to realize the arrangement of the county order, and surrender after pretending to attack.
In such a day, half of Donglai was beaten down.
At the same time, Cao Bao sent a trustworthy person to deliver a letter to Tao Qian, saying that he had already defeated Donglai.
The person who sent the letter was personally selected from Cao Bao, Liu Zheng still believed Cao Bao, although he investigated this person, but he didn't find anything suspicious, so he asked someone from his side to accompany him to send a letter to Tao Qian.
In this way, two days later, Tao Qian sent a message back to Cao Bao, asking Cao Bao to pass in the direction of Beihai and follow him to converge.
At this time, Liu Zheng also sent news to Zhang Ning, and led Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's naval army to Beihai.
The siege of Beihai City is also a siege of three missing one, and there is no one to guard the side of Donglai, so the reinforcements led by Liu Zheng came from the direction of Donglai, and it was very easy to enter the city.
