Chapter 20: Zheng's Scheme

In a courtyard at night, Zheng Shuang took a glass of wine and threw it to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang dang". The loud sound made the surrounding family and maids tremble. Seeing that Zheng Shuang's face was almost distorted by anger, he didn't dare to come out in a frightened atmosphere.

There is a way that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Today, the matter of his son-in-law watching the spring palace map in front of the Wu Mansion has already spread throughout Chao County, and it is spreading to the surrounding counties at a very fast speed. Once the news spreads, Childe's reputation will be completely ruined.

An old man walked slowly from the night, quite thin, and although his eyes were dirty, he had a sense of seeing through the world. The beard is gray, and the corners of the mouth are smiling. When the family members and maids standing around saw the old man coming, they breathed a sigh of relief and saluted silently. Like a tidal wave, they walked to their respective houses.

Seeing that the servants around him were leaving, the old man looked at Zheng Shuang, revealing a completely puzzled look: "My nephew was sullen as soon as he came back, what was going on?"

"Why should an uncle make fun of a nephew". Zheng Shuang heard the voice and hurriedly turned around. Seeing that it was the old man who hurriedly bowed, he smiled wryly when he thought of what happened in front of the Wu Mansion today. The old man's name is Zheng Hai, and he is the cousin of his father Zheng Bao. Perennial in charge of the intelligence and external relations of the Zheng family. What happened today, to say that my father didn't know and could barely believe it, but to say that this uncle didn't believe it would only be self-deception.

A smile appeared on Zheng Hai's face, and he glanced at Zheng Shuang with approval: "If it weren't for the turmoil caused by the virtuous nephew today, how could my uncle get this precious information?" I should be the head of the Ming family in this matter, and he will be the first person to take charge of Chaohu Lake in the future, and the virtuous nephew should be the first credit."

"It's a pity that this reputation has been tarnished." When Zheng Shuang said this, he only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness. He wanted to ask, was it worth it? But thinking of the might of his father and uncle, he endured it stubbornly.

Zheng Hai smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a reputation, when the Yellow Turban blood washes Chao County and destroys the Wu family, who dares to spread this matter everywhere." Moreover, the vast land of Chaohu Lake is fertile, and once there is no stumbling block of the Wu family in Chaoxian County. With my Zheng family's many years of operation in Chaohu, Chaohu water bandits can be gathered overnight and thousands of elite soldiers can be gathered. In this troubled world, there are soldiers and horses on the side, why care about that little bit of stigma."

Zheng Shuang was silent, thinking that this was a very simple matter, but he didn't expect Wu Hao to be so difficult. Then I thought of the layout of the Zheng family for many years, and my heart was filled with hatred. Damn Wu Hao, this revenge is not avenged.

Zheng Hai saw Zheng Shuang's expression change, and naturally understood what this nephew was thinking, and he was just about to say something when he heard footsteps.

A burly man wearing a yellow scarf on his head, with a murderous aura on his face. Followed by two entourages wearing yellow scarves, the three of them quickly walked over and bowed to Zheng Hai, and asked directly without politeness: "How is the news?"

"I just got the news that today, the 800 soldiers of the Wu family in Chaoxian County sent 600 troops to aid the Hou State of Hefei. At the same time, the county government had 400 regular troops, and 200 were taken away by Taishou Lu Kang. Now Chaoxian County, the total number of troops is only 400. Among them, there are 200 regular troops of the county government, 100 soldiers of the Wu family and 100 soldiers of the branch family." Seeing that these three yellow scarves were so rude, Zheng Hai let out a sneer in his heart. But at this time, after all, we need to rely on them, so we need to be patient.

The Yellow Turban at the head frowned, lowered his head and thought about it, and then shook his head: "This time, we must succeed in one blow, if not, then there will be endless trouble."

"General Mo Hurry, at this time, on the battlefield of the Marquis of Hefei, the Yellow Turban Heavenly Army is like a rainbow. With Wu Gu's character, he will definitely send his soldiers to help, and it will not be too late for Wu's soldiers to leave Chao County before attacking." Zheng Hai proposed to the yellow scarf, and when he said the word Wu Gu, his tone couldn't help but increase a little.

The Yellow Turban headed by him thought of one thing, and his brows tightened a little: "Lujiang County has enough food, but our army is gradually short of food, and I am afraid that there will be complications if we wait."

"It turns out that your army is short of food?". Zheng Hai didn't expect to find out about this unexpected news, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The yellow scarf led by him suddenly came to his senses, but it was too late to say it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say directly: "I heard that the grain of the Zheng family in Juchao is piled up, since you are secretly helping my Yellow Turban Heavenly Army to pass through the defense line of the defenders of Lujiang County in the Hou Kingdom of Hefei, why don't you give us some food?"

"Grain? If you want to talk about this grain, how can I live in the Chao Zheng family and have the wealth of the Wu family in Chao County here. If you are standing on the top of the treasure mountain, why should you go far and near." Seeing that the Yellow Turban was so greedy, Zheng Hai sneered in his heart, and immediately caused trouble.

The three yellow turbans glanced at each other, all looking at each other with puzzled expressions. After a while, a yellow scarf led by a yellow scarf looked at Zheng Hai: "It is true that the Wu family is rich, but now that the county has not been captured, how can we get food."

"It's not difficult to get Wu's food." When Zheng Hai said this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A plan then emerged in my heart, and when I thought of the proudness, I couldn't help but secretly call myself wonderful.

The yellow scarf led by him heard the meaning of Zheng Hai's words, and frowned slightly: "Please also give advice."

"Do you know Wu Gu's third son, Wu Hao?". Zheng Hai explained to the three yellow scarves with puzzled faces.

The three of them looked at each other again and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Zheng Hai secretly gave Zheng Shuang a look.

Zheng Shuang immediately understood, and explained with a smile to the three yellow scarves: "The three don't know, Wu Hao is Wu Gu's youngest son, and he has been doting on him since he was a child. If you can tie them up in one fell swoop, let alone a small amount of food, it will not be difficult to blackmail them into defecting."

"Defection?". The three yellow turbans couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the yellow scarves led by them immediately reacted, looking a little excited: "Really?"

"The Yellow Turban Heavenly Army is close at hand, how dare we Zheng dare to deceive." Zheng Shuang replied to the yellow scarf led by Zheng Shuang without humility or arrogance.

Zheng Hai looked at Zheng Shuang's performance, and couldn't help nodding slightly, revealing an approving gaze.

The two yellow turbans who followed behind were overjoyed and spoke to the yellow turbans who were the leader.

"If you can catch this son in one fell swoop, Juchao County will not attack at that time, and you will be able to obtain a large amount of food. When Qu Shuai hears about it, he will definitely be overjoyed, and it will be no problem to add officials to the knighthood."

"This is a good idea, but we don't know this person, so how should we do it?".

Zheng Hai saw that the three of them took the bait, and smiled at them: "Don't worry, my nephew happens to know, why don't I take you to see it tomorrow?"

"If this son is caught, Chao County will really be self-defeating, and we will reward the Zheng family of Chao and others when we are handsome in the nullah." Hearing this, the yellow scarf led by him immediately promised Zheng Hai and Zheng Shuang.

Zheng Hai and Zheng Shuang glanced at each other, and they both smiled knowingly. The Yellow Turban Army is really a good knife, and it is really invincible to use.
