Speaking of Yan Baihu, in fact, Liu Zheng still knows something, after all, he was a more famous prince in the later Three Kingdoms, and he also existed for a while in Yangzhou.

He is not called Yan Baihu, in fact, his real name is Yan Hu, and he is from Wucheng County, Huiji County.

In history, Yan Baihu had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, occupied several county towns and confronted the imperial court, and was also at ease for a while.

However, when Sun Ce inherited his father's legacy and led his soldiers and horses to conquer around Jiangdong, Yan Baihu was the first to fight Sun Ce, but was defeated by Sun Ce.

Later, he couldn't defeat Sun Ce, so he could only surrender to Sun Ce, but he was killed by Sun Ce and ended up dead.

However, there is a big difference between today and history. Because the appearance of Liu Zheng has changed history. Yan Baihu not only has 10,000 or 20,000 more soldiers and horses than in history. He also sent his younger brother Yan Xing to continue to act as a water thief to collect money and strengthen himself.

All this is because of the early emergence of the state pastoral system, so that those state pastoral assassins assigned to various places want to clear out the thieves in various places as soon as possible. It made the thieves from all over the country, who originally didn't have much sense of crisis, even more afraid of the imperial court, so they recruited a large number of people to fight against the imperial court.

Yan Baihu grew rapidly during the last year, expanding from the original more than 10,000 people to 20,000 or 30,000 now, and directly launched a confrontation with the imperial court to occupy several county towns east of Huiji County.

In Liu Zheng's earliest thoughts, although Yan Baihu's strength is not very good, he is also a prince, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, so he can be regarded as a figure who can make friends with some thoughts.

After all, if Liu Zheng wants to get involved in Yangzhou, cooperating with Yan Baihu can have some unexpected effects.

But now that Yan Baihu is a guy, he actually intercepted the merchant ships under his command, which makes Liu Zheng a little embarrassed.

If you still want to form an alliance with Yan Baihu, then there must be no way to give an explanation to the Mi family about this matter.

But if he gives an explanation to the Mi family, and he must offend Yan Baihu, then Liu Zheng will lose an ally in Yangzhou who can be allied.

"My lord, what are we going to do next? Is it to directly bring someone to kill that Yan Xing or what? ”

Now that the matter has been investigated, Zu Lang did not take matters into his own hands to deal with the matter, but came to Liu Zheng and asked Liu Zheng's attitude, after all, this matter still has to listen to Liu Zheng's opinion.

Liu Zheng said what to do in order for them to make the next decision.

"Although this Yan Baihu can't be eliminated for the time being, it is more beneficial for us to be alive, but the revenge of the hundreds of brothers who died cannot be avenged."

"Let's take that Yan Xing first in this matter, as for Yan Baihu, if he knows each other, this matter will be written off, if he doesn't know each other, he has to fight us, we don't have to be afraid of him, and when Yan Xing is solved, we will deal with him!"

Now Yan Baihu is fighting against Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan. Because of the existence of water thieves such as Yan Baihu, Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan did not divide his troops to deal with Liu Zheng in Jiaozhou, otherwise he would kill his general Zhang Ying with the festival between Liu Zheng and Liu Xuan, and also lost 30,000 elite soldiers.

If Liu Miao defeated Yan Baihu. Wouldn't that be able to free up his hands to deal with Liu Zheng immediately.

Liu Zhengruo fought with Yan Baihu, and the two tigers fought each other and cheapened Liu Xuan. Liu Zheng is such a smart person, naturally he would not do such a stupid thing.

Since he decided to deal with Yan Xing, it was naturally impossible for Liu Zheng not to be a little prepared.

He first asked Zu Lang to continue to lie dormant here with all the soldiers and horses, and then sent someone to inform the Mi family. Let the Mi family's men disguise themselves to form another caravan, and pretend to be loaded with important goods on this merchant ship, which is of great value.

Through the value of this cargo ship, send people to spread the news to Yan Xing's mouth.

Liu Zheng guessed that as long as Yan Baihu lacked money and food recently, Yan Xing would definitely continue to plunder ships on this river.

Then, with the appearance of the fat sheep of the Mi family, Yan Xing will definitely be fooled.

The reason why Liu Zheng didn't directly lead people to kill Yan Xing's lair. First, he was afraid that Yan Baihu would lose his mind, and when the time came, he would directly bring people to fight him. Second, it is also to lure Yan Xing out, which is much less difficult than dealing with him in Yan Xing's lair.

According to Liu Zheng's intelligence, Yan Xing has six or seven thousand soldiers and horses in his lair, and if he goes out to plunder the ships, he will definitely only carry four or five thousand people, and he will definitely leave some people to take care of the house.

In this way, Liu Zheng's chances of winning are also greater.

Two days later, the Mi family's ships were ready, and Liu Zheng ordered Zu Lang to hide all his more than 3,000 soldiers in the cargo ship, and the cargo ship full of men and horses began to sail on the river.

In order to be realistic, Liu Zheng also deliberately sent 300 soldiers and horses to escort around the fleet, making people think that there were valuable goods in the fleet.

In this way, the flotilla sailed on the river and passed in the direction of Jingzhou.

However, after three days, there was no change, and the fleet was about to arrive in the Jingzhou area, but there was still no movement.

Zu Lang, Liu Zheng and the others sat in the cabin, looked at each other, and even had some doubts about whether their plan had been discovered by Yan Xing.

"Lord, this time, our news should be known to Yan Xing, but why has the other party not reacted after three days?"

"Could it be that the other party already knows about our plan?"

Zu Lang had some doubts, and looked at Liu Zheng and asked his own questions.

Liu Zheng and Xu You shook their heads at the same time.

"No, our plan is very tight, it's unlikely that the news will leak out, it may be that Yan Xing's guy is too cautious and won't make a move easily."

"I guess they won't attack when we make deliveries, but rob them when we go back."

"Why?"

Zu Lang didn't know why, so he asked curiously.

"You are stupid, robbing when you leave, at most you will rob some goods, if you can rob the merchant ships that go back, not only can you rob some of the goods loaded back, but you can also collect the money when you go, and you can get more with one stone."

Liu Zheng said what he thought in his heart, Xu You nodded and agreed with Liu Zheng's idea, and Zu Lang on the side immediately nodded and understood.

"Then my lord, will we go back now?"

"No, you have to do enough drama, let the fleet stay in Changsha City for a day, and then turn back."

Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to go back, since he was going to deal with Yan Xing, he was also worried that Yan Xing's guy would send someone to follow, although there were no ships around. But it may mean that there may be a fine work hidden in the distance.
