Liu Zheng didn't say too much detail, because the specific things couldn't be explained in detail at all, he only needed to inform Yan Baihu of the general content, and with Yan Baihu's mind, he could naturally figure out whether Liu Zheng had the ability to unite with him to deal with Liu Xuan.

Although Yan Baihu didn't know Liu Zheng's strength, Liu Zheng was able to rely on his own people and horses to fight the entire Jiaozhou, no matter how he looked at it, Yan Baihu felt that Liu Zheng's strength was much stronger than him.

After all, Yan Baihu has been fighting against the imperial court in the past half a year, but he is just using soldiers and horses to conquer several county towns in Huiji County, and it is still a fool's dream to occupy the entire Yangzhou.

And Liu Zheng was able to knock down the entire Jiaozhou, although Jiaozhou could not be compared with Yangzhou, but it was also an incredible thing for Yan Baihu to feel.

After pondering for a moment and carefully considering Liu Zheng's strength, Yan Baihu still decided to cooperate with Liu Zheng.

After all, he is not a fool, if he doesn't cooperate with Liu Zheng, will he also have to be alone, in the face of Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, in the end, the pressure will not be reduced in any way, and there is no harm in cooperating with Liu Zheng.

"I can cooperate with you, but how to deal with Liu Xuan? Don't tell me, just let me contain Liu Xuan, with my current strength, it is not so easy to contain Liu Xuan. ”

"I don't need you to do anything, I just need that when Liu Miao is dealing with me, you can make trouble behind him and add some pressure to him."

Liu Zheng didn't say much to Yan Baihu, after all, for now, he hasn't figured out how to deal with Liu Xuan, the top priority, Liu Zheng is not to send troops to sweep Yangzhou, but to rectify the economy of Jiaozhou first, so it will take some time to cultivate.

"That's no problem, when will you send troops to deal with Liu Xuan?"

"It's not suitable to send troops for the time being, you need to wait for a while, my soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou have just experienced a big war, and they need to cultivate for half a year, half a year, and they will almost be able to come from Jiaozhou, and when the time comes, we will deal with Liu Miao together, what do you think."

"Half a year."

Yan Baihu heard Liu Zheng's words, and muttered these two words in his mouth.

Although he felt that this time was a bit long, and there would be a lot of variables in this half a year, he still didn't say anything to Liu Zheng to refuse.

"Okay, half a year is half a year."

"In this half a year, I must use the Mi family's fleet to conduct some trade, increase some income, recruit people and horses, and build weapons, and when the time comes, I will send someone to contact Brother Yan."

After Yan Baihu heard that Liu Zheng had calculated all the follow-up plans, he didn't say much, nodded, picked up the wine glass on the table, gestured to Liu Zheng, and then drank it all.

At this time, the conversation has reached this point, and it is quite smooth, for Liu Zheng, Yan Baihu's deep understanding of righteousness is also quite in line with his appetite, and the two can still talk.

So Liu Zheng also gave Yan Baihu a face, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

In Wucheng County, the meeting between Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu can be regarded as friendly, and there is no tension between the two sides, perhaps Yan Baihu can also know that as a water thief, there are not many people who can form an alliance, and Liu Zheng is just one of them.

And it's the most powerful one.

Liu Zheng did not stay in Yan Baihu's territory for too long, and after returning Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Xing to Yan Baihu, Liu Zheng took his men and horses and prepared to leave.

Of course, when he left, he didn't go directly, but took people with him and came to Mi's house.

After the cargo ship was hijacked, Liu Zheng then invited the Mi family to continue to invest in trade in various places.

The trade on the Jingzhou side can continue to be carried out normally, and on the other side, the trade in Jiaozhou can also begin.

When Liu Zheng left the Mi family before, he asked the Mi family to prepare the merchant ship to Jiaozhou, and now that half a month has passed, I think it should be ready.

After contacting the Mi family, the Mi family has indeed prepared some goods, but it is not a particularly valuable and valuable thing, and the number of ships in the fleet is not very large, and it may not be very familiar with the environment in Jiaozhou.

It is not possible to make an important assessment of the business pattern of Jiaozhou, and what is more valuable to sell, so it can only be cautious and adopt a conservative strategy.

For this, Liu Zheng did not blame the Mi family, after all, the Mi family's caution is normal, he took the Mi family's fleet, five or six merchant ships, along the Yangtze River all the way downstream, and then returned to Jiaozhou according to the previous path from the coast of Jiaozhou all the way to Yangzhou.

Liu Zheng left Jiaozhou this time, but the time was only more than a month.

After returning to Jiaozhou, Liu Zheng first took Mi Fang, who came from Xuzhou, to familiarize himself with the environment, and then asked Yuan Zhou to discuss business with Mi Fang.

When he just started to leave Xuzhou, Mi Fang still didn't believe what Liu Zheng said on the boat, thinking that he had not been able to reach Jiaozhou when he sailed to sea, but after seven or eight days of sailing, he began to sail south along the coastline, gradually moving away from Yangzhou, and arrived at the boundary of Jiaozhou.

The look of distrust on Mi Fang's face also began to turn into a look of surprise, and even when it finally arrived in Hepu, Mi Fang had changed from surprise to ecstasy.

The whole trip was only seven or eight days, not even half a month.

If the speed is fast enough, it will not take a month to transport the goods from Jiaozhou and Xuzhou, which is faster than transporting from Xuzhou to Jingzhou.

Now there is a big difference between Jiaozhou and Xuzhou, if you go by land, it will take two or three months to get the goods to be delivered, but now you have taken the sea, I am afraid that there are many goods that can be exchanged between the two to make Mijia make a windfall in this transaction.

After understanding the value, Mi Fang glanced at Liu Zheng gratefully, and followed Yuan Zhou over to explore the market.

And Liu Zheng doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to control the general direction, and then leave these details to his subordinates to do.

He came to the barracks, this time, he did not bring Zu Lang back, Zu Lang's 3,000 soldiers and horses still stayed in the waters of Poyang Lake, guarding Yangzhou for Liu Zheng.

This time, it was the Jiang Zhou brothers who followed Liu Zheng back, and the nearly 1,000 men and horses under them.

These people are the most basic part of Liu Zheng's formation of the navy.
