Ma Ning's death and Liu Kou's death can be said to have greatly stimulated Liu Zheng's nerves, since the crossing, Liu Zheng, who has been smooth sailing, has never suffered such a big loss, and it is in such a small place as Linqing, in a small prefect and a small Cao gang to suffer such a big loss.

Liu Zheng said that he wanted to pay for his blood debts, Zhou Yun knew that this was definitely not just talking, Liu Zheng wanted to take Linqing at the beginning, and the reason why he went alone was that he was afraid that the imperial court would play with his life, and second, he did not take Linqing's local forces in his eyes.

At first, the words that everyone persuaded Liu Zheng not to be underestimated are still in their ears, combined with the current situation of almost dying in Linqing, Liu Zheng not only feels that he has lost face, he is definitely annoyed and angry now.

If Liu Zheng really wanted to turn his face with the court and take someone to fight Linqing, Zhou Yun would definitely come forward, but Wei Boyuan would not, because Wei Boyuan's mind has always been sober, and an old man may do irrational things because of his son's death, but in addition to his son's death, he is absolutely sober at all times, and he will not stir up blood because of other words, nor will he be desperate because of the anger of others.

"Virtuous nephew, don't lose your mind because of anger, we have to clean up those people in Linqing sooner or later, even if there is no such thing, we will take Linqing because of the important economic and strategic position you said!"

"But now that things have changed, we can't act recklessly, first of all, what is in front of us is not a trivial matter, although the Jingying is rotten, but Li Mingyi can't be strong there, and a bunch of mud-legged people have nothing else in their minds except silver and women!"

"Look at the posture of the Beijing camp is really going to suppress Li Mingyi, one is a regular army with complete swords, guns and armor, and the other is nearly half of the mud legs holding sticks, forks and heads in their hands, don't even think about the result!"

"Earlier, we discussed using Li Mingyi to contain the imperial court, if Li Mingyi was wiped out all at once, then the imperial court would be the first to deal with it, this is not in our interests!"

Zhou Yun frowned and said, "Then old man, what do you mean?" ”

The old man did not answer directly, but came to a map hanging in front of the wall, pointed to Taiyuan Mansion and said: "The distance between Taiyuan Mansion and our Shandong and Beijing is almost equal, if we join forces, it is almost equivalent to completely strangling Jingshi, the two sides should be each other's horns, the imperial court attacks Taiyuan, we have to support Li Mingyi, if the imperial court comes to attack us, we can also send reinforcements to Li Mingyi." ”

Zhou Yun's brows furrowed even deeper, he didn't understand what the old man meant by this, first he degraded Li Mingyi as worthless, and then said that he and Li Mingyi would be horns and support each other.

"Old Wei, the combat strength of this Li Mingyi's subordinates is so poor, if the imperial court suppresses it, it will be destroyed in an instant, how can we help?"

Zhou Yun said that he was helping, but he didn't say that he was going to reinforcements.

Wei Boyuan looked at Liu Zheng with a smile: "It depends on what the lord thinks, if you give up Li Mingyi completely, then we will stand by and watch, if the lord still wants to do what he originally thought, then we will ......" As soon as he got down to business, Wei Boyuan immediately changed from a virtuous nephew to a lord in his title to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng also smiled and said, "What's it?" ”

Wei Boyuan saw Liu Zheng's smile and understood what Liu Zheng was thinking, it was impossible for Liu Zheng to give up Li Mingyi.

Then he stretched out two fingers and said: "One is to ask people to give people, and to give weapons to weapons!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused, stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where Shanghe was on the wall and said, "Second, of course it's ......."

Although they didn't say it explicitly, Liu Zheng and Zhou Yun both understood what the old man meant, Zhou Yun was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng and said, "Lord? ”

Liu Zheng looked at the place the old man was pointing to, lowered his head and looked at the sand table beside him, and said after a long time: "It's hard to choose, there are countless nobles in these seven battalions, if we really want to move them, those eighteen battalions will definitely turn around and come to our side halfway, not only is this not in our interests, Li Mingyi may not necessarily thank us." ”

Wei Boyuan suddenly laughed, Zhou Yun and Liu Zheng glanced at each other suspiciously, and they both saw great doubts in each other's eyes.

Zhou Yun couldn't hold his breath and asked, "Old man, don't sell it, just tell us directly!" ”

Wei Boyuan stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "War does not have to be fought to the death by the soldiers of the two armies on the battlefield, and Su Qin and Zhang Yi!" ”

Zhou Yun's face was full of doubts, but Liu Zheng thought about it solemnly, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Where to find Su Qin and Zhang Yi!" ”

Wei Boyuan said with a smile: "Su Qin and Zhang Yi are not necessarily literati who are full of wealth, but they can also be people like the four brothers of the Pei family!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, yes, why didn't he think of it? The Zongheng family does not necessarily have to be a full-fledged literati, but also a spy.

Espionage is not only tasked with gathering intelligence, but also tasked with plotting against the enemy and secretly liaising with the enemy's leader.

The most important thing is that Pei Qiu's people are currently doing this kind of work, and one of his subordinates is still holding it in the hands of the gang on the other side of the Yellow River, isn't the reason to contact and find out the details of the opponent?

The spy is a fucking alternative columnist.

Liu Zheng nodded lightly and said: "Old man, I understand, Li Mingyi has Pei Xia over there, let's send someone to contact Pei Xia, and then directly let Pei Xia explain the situation to Li Mingyi, we can't sit back and wait for a reply, we have to move first, even if Li Mingyi doesn't agree, we have to support someone over there, even if it's not in Taiyuan, it can be somewhere else, this needs to send a steady person over, does the old man have someone in mind?" ”

Wei Boyuan thought about it and said very cautiously: "If you talk about the candidate, it is naturally Zeng Kaiyu who is the most suitable!" ”

Liu Zheng's head began to hurt, Zeng Kaiyu was indeed very suitable, but Zeng Kaiyu would never have sent him out, first of all, not to mention the importance of Zeng Kaiyu, just saying that Liu Zheng planned to hand over the navy to Zeng Kaiyu, it was impossible to send him to the west.

"Zeng Kaiyu's old man, don't say that I will hand over the navy to him in the future, just say that Caoyun has to count on the brothers of the eighteen villages under Lao Zeng's hands to do it, others don't know, the old man and Brother Zhou, you can't not know, his eighteen brothers can't control it except for him Kaiyu!"

Liu Zheng pressed his temples and said, "Change someone!" ”

The old man also has a headache, the talents under Liu Zheng are too scarce, and the people who are arranged there must be handsome talents, but at present, there are handsome people under Liu Zheng, except for Zeng Kaiyu, who is Qin Haiqing, Qin Haiqing is now the division commander, and it is obviously inappropriate to transfer Qin Haiqing over.

Just when Liu Zheng and the old man were entangled, Zhou Yun suddenly spoke: "Old Wei, lord, I have a candidate!" ”

Liu Zheng said with a look of surprise: "Oh? Big brother, who is it? ”

Wei Boyuan also looked at Zhou Yun expectantly.

Zhou Yun smiled lightly and said, "Pang Dog!" ”

The surprise on Liu Zheng's face was immediately doubled, and he glanced at Old Man Wei, and then the two of them laughed at the same time.

After a long time, the laughter subsided, for this candidate, Liu Zheng was impressed: "Why didn't I think of this kid, with this kid's wit and courage, it would be really good to let him go to Taiyuan!" ”

"Old man, big brother, come on!" Liu Zheng walked to the map of the Central Plains on the wall and beckoned to the old man and Zhou Yun.

The two walked quickly to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed a few places on the map and said, "Since we sent Pang Goudan, then our plan has to be changed, and it is a big change!" ”

……

The white horse passed through the gap, time went in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye it was October, and I was already able to experience the cold of winter in Shandong.

The 18 Beijing camps that set out at the end of August are now in October, and this Beijing camp is still more than 200 miles away.

Shandong's Jingying has also retreated to Dezhou, since the assassination of the people who hit the six doors failed, Liu Zheng became a mad dog, across the Yellow River swept all the way, Binzhou, Wudingzhou, Yangxin, Leling, Deping, Shanghe, Linyi, Lingxian, Pingyuan County and even Enxian County, which belonged to Dongchang Prefecture, were swept by Liu Zheng's people.

Emperor Wanli was furious, not only scolded several bigwigs in the cabinet, but also said that he almost cut down the old dog, if it wasn't for Zheng Guifei to stop him, the old dog would have confessed.

Of course, the nobles also fell, and they were still scolded by Emperor Wanli into the palace, and when they came out of the palace, several princes got together to discuss most of the night, intending to destroy Li Ming in earnest, so as to let His Majesty dissipate.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng suddenly went crazy, and unabashedly transferred troops north, and in a blink of an eye, several counties north of the Yellow River controlled by Jinan Prefecture set the sun on Liu Zheng's pocket.

Not only that, but the seven battalions brought by the nobles were also bitten by Liu Zheng, and the whole army was almost wiped out, if Wang Xianjin hadn't personally entered Liu Zheng's camp to negotiate, the three nobles in that battalion would have to go to see their ancestors.

It was precisely because Liu Zheng went crazy that the eighteen Beijing battalions that suppressed Li Mingyi did not dare to move, but even if they stopped two hundred miles away, they scared Li Mingyi half to death.

Pingding Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, is Li Mingyi's old nest, this morning, Li Mingyi in Pingding, Pingding Prefecture, entertained several distinguished guests from Qingzhou.

Although Li Mingyi did not dare to call himself the emperor to the outside world, he had already begun to call himself the lone king when he spoke, and the people inside also called Li Mingyi the king of Pingding.

In the mansion that was built as luxurious, Li Ming sat on the first seat like a dragon chair at one end, a Taoist priest in his forties was in the second seat, and opposite the Taoist priest sat Li Mingyi's eldest son, Li Shunzhou.

Li Shunzhou's hands all the way to the door, and the seven or eight seats in this row were all Li Mingyi's subordinates, and these people really didn't sit or eat, and threw them outside, and at a glance they knew that they were either bandits or hooligans.

Sitting next to the old Taoist priest is Pei Xia, one of the four brothers of the Pei family under Liu Zheng, and the people below Pei Xia are all young people, these people are Pang Goudan and the three regiment commanders of Pang Goudan's brigade, Zhang Xiaosi, Huang Debiao and Gou Qijun.
