Chapter 323: Invited
After Liu Zheng's words were finished, at the beginning, Yan Baihu heard it and didn't show anything, but when it came, when Liu Zheng said the more popular words, Yan Baihu smiled.
"Wife and children are hot on the kang, interesting, you are really straightforward in your speech, but your ambitions are too ambitious, and it is not easy to achieve it."
Of course, Yan Baihu heard it, what Liu Zheng's words were, to put it mildly, it was to occupy one side, to be a soil emperor, to be at ease, and to put it big, but he wanted to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty and fight for the world.
"I don't have as much ambition as you, I just want to beg for a bite to eat in this Yangtze River basin, but this bite of food is getting more and more difficult."
Yan Baihu said, of course, Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao has been sending people to attack him recently, although Yan Baihu and Liu Xiang in the battle, did not show any defeat, but did not take any advantage, although Liu Xiang attacked several times in a row, encircled and suppressed Yan Baihu's men and horses, but not only did not defeat Yan Baihu, but let Yan Baihu scatter his wealth and recruit more people.
The counterattack is also getting stronger and stronger, making Yan Baihu's sphere of influence bigger and bigger, but this time, Yan Baihu himself is not happy.
Because there are a lot of people at the bottom, in fact, this stall has become bigger, when there were originally more than 10,000 people, Yan Baihu was still able to control it, and he didn't even worry about the problem of his subordinates eating.
But now that the number of soldiers and horses has increased several times, the amount of money and food supported has also increased greatly, and some of the military rations prepared before are already not enough to eat, so he has spent a lot of means to buy food, and the money he saved is also scattered like flowing water at this time.
In fact, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not changed much, and Liu Xuan, the pastor of Yangzhou, can continue to recruit people from other counties and counties to come over and continue to encircle and suppress Yan Baihu.
Although Yan Baihu will not be afraid in a short period of time, but after a long time, Yan Baihu has no financial resources and will not be able to support it for long.
"Don't talk about this, I've heard of Liu Zhengqu Shuai's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it can be regarded as admiring me, my younger brother Yan Xing was offended a lot before, and I didn't know that the Mi family was Qu Shuai's person, so I hope Qu Shuai will forgive me."
Yan Baihu didn't want to offend Liu Zheng, since the person sent by Yan Xing had already told him that the matter had been resolved, and Liu Zheng didn't seem to intend to pursue it, Yan Baihu planned to make a big deal with Liu Zheng and a small matter.
"Yan Xing's matter, it's not a big deal, since I have compensated for the loss of the Mi family, I won't continue to pursue it, in fact, I came to Brother Yan this time, in fact, I also heard about Brother Yan's strength, and I want to talk to Brother Yan about something."
Yan Baihu seemed to have known for a long time that Liu Zheng had other purposes for coming here, so he was not surprised when Liu Zheng opened his mouth to say such a thing.
just said a word to Liu Zheng very plainly.
"I'd like to talk about it in detail."
"I know that Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao is using troops against Brother Yan recently, in fact, not only you, even I, a few months ago, was attacked by his 30,000 army, if it weren't for my strength, I'm afraid that this time will really encounter accidents, Liu Xuan, this person, whether it is Brother Yan, or me, is a great hatred, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, I came to find Brother Yan, just want to cooperate with Brother Yan, and deal with Liu Xuan together."
"Liu Xuan's 30,000 troops? Brother Liu, you are talking about that Zhang Ying, a few months ago, Liu Xuan's troops were mobilized, gathered 30,000 people, and then went to the direction of Jiaozhou, I thought at first that he was gathering troops to deal with me, so I also vigorously recruited soldiers and horses at that time. Didn't expect him to deal with you. ”
Yan Baihu originally only had more than 10,000 people, and it was Liu Miao who recruited 30,000 soldiers and horses to support under Zhu Fu's request for help, and the assembly of 30,000 soldiers and horses frightened Yan Baihu, so that Yan Baihu quickly recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
"His 30,000 soldiers and horses have been wiped out by me, but in this way, Liu Miao will definitely hate me to the bone, and sooner or later he will fight against me again, so instead of waiting for him to fight me, it is better for me to take the initiative to attack and deal with him!"
Yan Baihu heard that Liu Zheng was here to deal with Liu Xuan, and the expression on his face immediately looked a little better.
"No wonder he has been a lot more honest recently, and he doesn't have the feeling of pressing step by step at the beginning, it turns out that this is the case, he has lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, and if he wants to deal with me, he needs to requisition troops and horses from other places, which gives me a good respite."
"However, I have news, I heard that he recently met with a man named Sun Jian in Fuchun, and that Sun Jian is gathering soldiers and horses, I think, he is coming for me."
Although Yan Baihu has not had an intensive battle with Liu Xuan's men and horses recently, he still sent people to investigate some of Liu Xuan's situation.
After Liu Zheng heard Yan Baihu's news, the expression on his face was slightly surprised, but there was not much surprise in his heart, because this matter seemed to be something that Liu Zheng could also guess.
Liu Jian is low, there is a lack of fierce generals, and Sun Jian is a fierce general, Sun Jian, who escaped from Changsha, although he was defeated by Liu Zheng, but Sun Jian's bravery is still very famous in Jiangdong, especially when Sun Jian followed Zhu Jun Zhonglang to fight in the south and the north, Liu Jian has also heard of some things.
In addition, Sun Jian was defeated by Liu Zheng, and Liu Xuan's people were also defeated by Liu Zheng, so they have a common enemy, Liu Jian found Sun Jian, and Sun Jian naturally had no reason to refuse Liu Xuan.
"It won't be something I expected for the two of them to get together, that's why I came to you, Brother Yan, how about it, are you interested in cooperating, let's deal with Liu Xuan together, after the matter is completed, how about you and I share half of this Yangzhou place?"
Liu Zheng values Yan Baihu's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he can contain Liu Zheng for a while, although Yan Baihu's real strength, Liu Zheng is not clear, but as long as he can contain Liu Zheng for Liu Zheng for a period of time, give Liu Zheng some time, let Liu Zheng train and train people, and then from Jiaozhou to the east, to kill Yangzhou, it is not impossible.
"What kind of cooperation is it?"
After Yan Baihu heard Liu Zheng's words, he was slightly silent, but he was still attracted by what Liu Zheng said, and asked the question he wanted to ask.
"It's very simple, I Jiaozhou and Yangzhou are connected, as long as we send troops at the same time, you contain Liu Xuan, my men and horses can quickly kill Yangzhou, when the time comes, you and I will fight back and forth, Liu Xuan will definitely not be able to take care of the left and right, and it is only a matter of time before the two of us are defeated."
