Chapter 313: Yan Xing and Yan Baihu
"My lord, the end will be too late."
Zu Lang led the soldiers and horses, approached Liu Zheng, and when he saw several corpses lying on the ground, his face was already a little unpleasant.
But fortunately, when he saw that Liu Zheng didn't seem to be in any big trouble, Zu Lang calmed down a little, and then hurriedly apologized to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng waved his hand, signaling that he was okay and wanted to continue the interrogation cycle.
But at this time, when he saw Zu Lang beside Liu Zheng and those warships on the river, he couldn't help it anymore, and he cried in fright.
He knows Zulang, and he is also a person who begs for a living on this river, even if he doesn't know Zulang, he knows Zulang's boat.
As soon as Zulang appeared, the cycle knew that he was dead.
"Lord, is this the kid who robbed our ship?"
When Zu Lang saw that Liu Zheng was fine, he no longer dwelled on Liu Zheng's affairs, but focused on the cycle who was kneeling on the ground.
Although Zu Lang was very angry at this time, he still forcibly held back the anger in his heart and stared at the cycle.
Liu Zheng looked at the cycle in front of him.
"It shouldn't be him who hijacked the ship, but he must have been involved, this guy is still useful, let's spare his life first, if you want to know anything, stay and interrogate, this place should not stay for a long time, clean up the scene, let's get out of here first."
Liu Zheng didn't stay here for too long, although the possibility of this guy still having the same party is very low, but this place is not very far from Moling City, and on this river, there are some merchant ships passing by here from time to time.
It may not have been discovered for a while, but after a long time, it is easy to be exposed, and Liu Zheng doesn't want to turn his face directly with Yan Baihu now.
Yan Baihu is the most powerful of the four water thieves no matter what, both his strength and his influence in the waters of Poyang Lake are second to none.
If Liu Zheng was to confront him now, with only the more than 3,000 horses under Zu Lang now, it would not be so easy to defeat Yan Baihu.
Soon, after Liu Zheng's orders, Zu Lang and the others took the cycle and left from here.
After returning to Zu Lang's nearby stronghold, Liu Zheng did not continue to participate in the interrogation of this guy in the cycle, since the person has been caught, the rest of the things will be left to Zu Lang Xu Yu and them to do, Liu Zheng has no need to participate in everything.
All they need to do is wait for their interrogation cycle to end, and then tell Liu Zheng the final result.
It didn't take long, under the torture of Zu Lang and Xu You, the cycle naturally had no way to hide anything, and explained everything.
Xu You and Zu Lang came to restore Liu Zheng's life.
"How's it going, did that guy confess?"
"Confessed, lord, although he said it, but this guy is not a core member, just a small family disciple who colluded with thieves in this Moling County, and he doesn't know much, and he didn't participate in the last ship robbery, but he just knew that the thieves over there robbed such some goods."
"I've already guessed these things, but it doesn't matter, it's better this way, let us know some things in advance, and we don't have to use the thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands to directly confront the other party, so that we can lay out in advance and deal with that strict head."
"By the way, do you know about that stern? Isn't it Yan Baihu? ”
Liu Zheng is not particularly clear about the sphere of influence in this area, but Zu Lang is different, he is a water thief in this area, in comparison, he must know more than Liu Zheng.
"As far as I know, this Yan Tou is not Yan Baihu, but some people and horses entrenched near Danyang County, and that Yan Baihu is in Huiji County, although they are not far apart, but they should be two forces, but I have no contact with that Yan Tou, maybe that Yan Tou has something to do with Yan Baihu."
"Isn't it Yan Baihu?"
Liu Zheng heard Zu Lang's words, the expression on his face changed slightly, at first he thought that Yan Tou was Yan Baihu, but after hearing that it was not Yan Baihu, Liu Zheng's pressure was much less.
"But even if it's not Yan Baihu, you have to be cautious, first ask where the old nest of this strict head is in that cycle, and then send someone over to inquire about the news, and after figuring out the situation of the other party, we will kill it, since you dare to ignore your people and horses in this water, you will bear our wrath!"
Liu Zheng gave an order to Zu Lang, which immediately made Zu Lang look excited, agreed to Liu Zheng loudly, and immediately went down to get busy.
In just two days, Zu Lang's subordinates had already found out some of Yan Tou's situation.
Danyang is not particularly famous, and the most famous may be that he is the earliest capital of Chu State.
But during the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang was more famous for the soldiers and horses here, and Danyang was good at fighting people.
The most famous thing is that Sun Ce only had 500 soldiers and horses at the beginning, and relying on these 500 Danyang elite soldiers, he was able to fight a huge Wu State.
And when Liu Zheng heard the word pill, he actually thought of it, no wonder the strict head had the courage to attack and kill Zulang's merchant ship, there were six or seven thousand Danyang people under his hand, wouldn't it swell.
"That Yan Tou's name is Yan Xing, he is the son of a family near Huiji County, although he is not Yan Baihu, but my subordinates found out that he and Yan Baihu are brothers."
"Yan Baihu now rarely does low-grade things like stealing chickens and dogs and robbing merchant ships, Yan Baihu is anxious about 20,000 horses, and plans to attack the city and occupy Yangzhou near Huiji County, and confront Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, and Yan Xing is Yan Baihu's pawn planted in this water, responsible for supporting Yan Baihu."
"Recently, Yan Baihu has been recruiting soldiers and horses on a large scale, and he is very short of money, so Yan Xing will continue to rob merchant ships in these waters."
Because he had a goal and knew who did it, Zu Lang was able to figure out many things, and he also knew the reason why Yan Xing robbed the Mi family's fleet, which was to help Yan Baihu.
"In this way, although Yan Xing is not Yan Baihu, if we start a war with that Yan Xing, we will inevitably have to fight against Yan Baihu?"
Liu Zheng heard Zu Lang's answer, and Liu Zheng began to think about it again in his heart.
"Well, recently, because Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao is gathering troops and horses to deal with Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu's troops have lost a lot, so they are expanding their troops and horses during this time, and they are short of money and food."
Zu Lang and Xu You began to give Liu Zheng a calculation of what happened in Yangzhou during this time.
"Yan Baihu, if this didn't happen, he would actually be a person who could be used by us, it's a pity."
