Yuan Zhou didn't put out his plan, and only said a few words about Jiang Tuesday's thief.

Liu Zheng had already thought of what Yuan Zhou's plan was.

They were originally going to deal with Jiang Er's thief, but now there was a violent conflict between Jiang Er's thief and Zu Lang, not only was the old nest ended, but at the same time, Zu Lang's strength was also beaten by Zu Lang and suffered heavy losses.

If at this time, Liu Zheng sent someone to contact Jiang Er's thief and invite them to deal with Zu Lang together, these two naturally had no reason not to agree.

Liu Zheng originally only had 2,000 sailors, and including Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves, there were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, while Jiang Zhou's thieves still had hundreds of people, and when combined, it was nearly 4,000 people.

After Zu Lang fought with Jiang Tuesday's thief, he must have lost some soldiers and horses, and the number is definitely not much, and now Zu Lang occupies Jiang Tuesday's thief's lair, he will definitely send people to garrison it, and he will not easily give up Jiang Tuesday's thief's territory.

Liu Zheng said his thoughts and Yuan Zhou's thoughts, and the two hit it off.

He immediately began to send people to contact Jiang Er's thief.

Although it is said that Jiang Tuesday thief escaped from the lair, he had nowhere to escape, nothing more than to run from Yuzhang County to Changsha County, and naturally passed through Yichun County.

Liu Zheng's spies had just sent him news not long ago, saying that a fleet had appeared in the Yuan River Valley, and Liu Zheng guessed that these people were Jiang Er's thieves.

Yuan Zhou volunteered and said that he was going to talk about Jiang Tuesday's thief.

And Liu Zheng didn't refuse, now there is really no strategist around him who can be reused, so Yuan Zhou, a half-hanger, can only mix everything up.

Liu Zheng instructed Yuan Zhou, remember not to hurt the peace with Jiang Zhou's thief, talk if you can, and if you can't cooperate, forget it.

Anyway, Liu Zheng didn't expect Jiang Er's thief to be able to directly join him, and if he couldn't cooperate, Liu Zheng could think of another way to deal with Zulang.

Yuan Zhou nodded again and again, and promised Liu Zheng that he would take people away after recruiting Jiang Er's thief.

In fact, Yuan Zhou took the initiative to volunteer to go over this time, and he also wanted to make up for the embarrassment of being robbed of the goods in the hands of Jiang Zhou's thieves before, and at this time, taking advantage of the other party's trouble, Yuan Zhou was finally able to walk in front of them with his eyebrows raised.

Liu Zheng didn't wait stupidly in Mingyue Cottage, and now that the war is imminent, he also came to the reservoir of Mingyue Cottage, wanting to see the water army he trained in this reservoir.

Although it has only been more than half a month since training, Liu Zheng's navy seems to have a prototype.

These soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command have also followed him to fight in the south and north for half a year. already has a lot of combat experience, and the two thousand soldiers and horses that Liu Zheng specially selected from the army are all soldiers who are familiar with water.

The speed of the formation of the naval army is naturally faster, and they only need to be familiar with the combat methods on the water under the guidance of Gan Ning and others, and can quickly adapt to it and become a living force of the naval army.

Now that half a month has passed, although the naval army formed by Liu Zheng has not yet been put into battle, it seems to have taken shape, and with the several boats that were purchased from the shipyard in Changsha a few days ago, Liu Zheng's naval army has been trained impressively.

It can completely satisfy him, even if Gan Ning and the others come to see him, it can be called a regular army.

Two more days passed.

Yuan Zhou, who went to recruit Jiang Zhou's thief, hurried back to the cottage to report his results to Liu Zheng.

As Liu Zheng expected, Yuan Zhou really lived up to expectations, and actually persuaded Jiang Zhou to be a thief and let them cooperate with Liu Zheng to deal with Zu Lang together.

Although Jiang Er's thief did not directly defect to Liu Zheng, he was able to send troops with Jiang Er's thief to deal with Zulang, which also made Liu Zheng very satisfied, after all, Jiang Er's thief had some unpleasant friction with him before, so it was somewhat unreasonable for them to put down their faces and come directly to Liu Zheng.

Moreover, if Jiang Zhou's thief had taken refuge in Liu Zheng, he would not have robbed Liu Zheng's merchant ship in the first place. It is precisely because they don't have much admiration for Liu Zheng. That's why it won't take refuge directly, but just a cooperative relationship.

However, this is enough for Liu Zheng, as long as he can unite the hundreds of water thieves of Jiang Er's thieves, let Jiang Er's thieves contain some of Zulang's soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng's men and horses can directly kill Zulang's lair and take advantage of the situation to end Zulang.

Liu Zheng ordered Gan Ning and Yuan Zhou to talk to Jiang Er's thief and strategize how to fight Zu Lang.

A few days later, Gan Ning and Jiang Tuesday had completed their discussions, and decided to take action against Zu Lang's men the next time he set out from the lair to plunder other merchant ships.

Big water thieves like Zulang don't need to plunder merchant ships at all.

In many cases, although many merchant ships took the initiative to hand over some money as a monthly payment, this part of the money was not enough for them to feed the thousands of soldiers and horses under their command, especially during the winter.

Now that it is winter, it is not easy to catch fish in winter, and if the grain is not stored enough, these water thieves will naturally have to come out to move. And Zu Lang has just fought with Jiang Tuesday's thief, although he has robbed Jiang Tuesday's thief of a lot of resources and has a lot of money.

But Zu Lang himself also suffered thousands of casualties, and it cost a lot of money to compensate the families of these thousands of people. On the surface, it seems that he has won, but in fact, for Zulang, he has lost a lot of money.

In addition, several merchant ships that were looted by Liu Zheng refused to offer to Zulang because they were not protected by Zu Lang, which caused Zu Lang to have a bad winter this winter.

There was a shortage of money and food, so Zulang had to come out again to rob the passing ships, and they had no faith in them anyway.

And Jiang Tuesday's thief and Gan Ning fought this idea.

As long as Zulang's soldiers and horses come out of the lair, Liu Zheng's men and horses can divide into two routes, all the way to Zulang's lair, and all the way to kill the thieves who plundered the merchant ships.

In this way, the soldiers and horses under Zu Lang's command can be completely defeated, so that Zu Lang has no place to turn over.

In the past two days, Jiang Tuesday Thief has also been paying close attention to the dynamics of Zu Lang's men.

They are more anxious than Liu Zheng, and they are more concerned about Zu Lang's dynamics, after all, they have just been defeated by Zu Lang, and they are eager to find some sense of existence in Zu Lang's body.

Within two days' time, they received the news that Zu Lang had come out of his lair and plundered merchant ships northwest of Poyang Lake.

After receiving this news, Liu Zheng immediately followed Gan Ning and led his 2,000 newly trained sailors from the area of the Yuan River to the waters of Poyang Lake.

A few boats purchased from Changsha County can be regarded as officially coming in handy.
