Chapter Ninety-Six: Meeting on the Whirlpool

Han Zheng looked at the information in his hand, Han Zheng sighed, he didn't expect the other places to react so quickly and sensitively.

It is very likely that those people have seen the destabilizing factors in the northern Anhui region of Han Zheng, as well as the threat he generated, which seems to be instinctive, and at the same time launched an action to suppress Han Zheng, and began to consciously interfere in the war between Fuyang and Wuyang, compressing the development space of Han Zheng.

In fact, Han Zheng is not afraid of the Manchu relics around him who have come out of the coffin board and exude the smell of decay, these forces around him are now like bloodsuckers, constantly squeezing the limited resources of northern Anhui, and at the same time, they have developed an arrogant and arrogant mentality in this small place.

This time, the reaction around them was so violent, as if they had dug up the ancestral graves of these people, which showed the weakness of these people's hearts!

However, Han Zheng also had to compromise at this time, after all, there are too few soldiers in the army now, and if he competes with one of these forces, Han Zheng doesn't mind trying to see if his fists are hard or not, or showing his strong 'muscles' to the surrounding places.

However, if you start a war with the surrounding forces, the strength is still a little too small, and once you start a war with these people around you, you don't know how much you can keep the family foundation you have just established, or whether you can defeat the enemies of the Quartet.

Therefore, Han Zheng, who calmed down, although he was full of unwillingness, but at this time, he could only hold back, block the footsteps of his subordinates, hold Lixin, slowly go back to develop his strength, and when the next opportunity came, he would clean up these people together.

In fact, after the tentative attack in Bozhou, although there was a situation of encirclement of Voryang and Voryang, but out of various considerations, they no longer dared to invade Voryang, which made Han Zheng slightly relieved.

And from the statements of these people, Han Zheng seems to have understood something, after showing their strong firepower, they have changed their minds about making things bigger, otherwise they will lose both, and it is very likely that outsiders will be cheapened.

Thinking of this, Han Zheng made up his mind, but he didn't know how many transactions those people around him had made in secret in this short day, but one thing was agreed, that is, let Han Zheng stop at Lixin, as a kind of compensation that was tacitly acquiesced, as for the rest of Fuyang, Han Zheng didn't want to make up his mind.

As for whether there is other compensation, it depends on the next negotiations, and some things will naturally be discussed together, which has become a tacit understanding.

Regardless of Han Zheng's speculation, Han Zheng could only sneer at the Fuyang city wall in the distance, and then led the army to start returning.

"Okay, let's go back! I'm going to see what else I can compensate us for this time! Han Zheng sent people down, and hatefully put the paper ball in his pocket.

"Little Fengzi, let the brothers gather!" Han Zheng shouted to Zhou Liangfeng, who was leading the team behind.

Zhou Liangfeng answered loudly, shouted for the soldiers in front to stop, and notified Chen Feng and Duan Nian to gather the team.

Chen Feng, Duan Nian and Li Feng of the rear team had already gotten the news at this time, and they also knew what had happened to the law, and they couldn't help but feel a little angry in their hearts, but they also knew Han Zheng's considerations, and honestly conveyed the order.

At the same time, several people hurried to Han Zheng's side, and Han Zheng told a few people about the matter, and everyone's faces were ugly, but in the end, they had to accept the facts in front of them, and everyone was even more eager for strength.

"Shall we go back like this? Isn't this a busy job for nothing, it's a big deal, let's just do it, we're not afraid of them! Duan Nian said angrily, and pulled down a branch that had just pulled out a new sprout from the tree next to him, venting the depression in his heart.

"Am I not uncomfortable? That's all you guys? We have been planning for so long and sacrificing so many brothers to fight here, not only are you unwilling, but even I myself am also throbbing here. ”

Han Zheng slapped his heart a few times, his voice was hoarse, and he said viciously, "But who makes our current strength not enough, once we start fighting on all sides, not to mention winning if we don't fight, it is estimated that our county town will not be able to hold it, and when the time comes, all the foundations we have accumulated will be scrapped." When the day comes, what do you say we should do?! ”

"This time, we swallow! But we have to remember this day, this is our day of shame, being bullied to this extent by a few small local warlords, one day we will get back, but I hope that before this you have to be prepared, let's go back and vigorously develop, what we have to do in the future is to not let them back down because of this kind of opportunity when they encounter this opportunity again! Go back, all go back! ”

In this way, the army was unwilling to leave under the attention of Han Zheng.

"What about Lisin? Battalion commander. Everyone walked to Lixin, and then they remembered to ask Han Zheng about the topic of Lixin.

"Lisin? Now that Lisin is in our hands, can we still give it away? From now on, it's our territory. Han Zheng saw that his soldiers were like frosted eggplants, listless, and his heart twitched fiercely: "What are you doing with your heads down!" We have come back from victory, we have protected our hometown fathers, protected our brothers and sisters, fought such a big victory, since we are my soldiers, we will all raise my heads, and today's field will be found in the future! ”

At least, after this war, Lisin was defeated, and his strength was raised to a big level.

・・・・・・

The day after Han Zheng led his army back to Lixin City, news from the People's Affairs Department and Xiang Jie was sent to Han Zheng, and Han Zheng knew that as he stopped marching, the soldiers gathered at the border by all parties slowly began to decrease.

However, Han Zheng knew that this matter was not over like this, and with the fall of Baihe, the forces of all parties in northern Anhui would also begin to reshuffle and divide the spheres of influence.

Sure enough, as Han Zheng expected, on the morning of 25 March, all parties that were slowly withdrawing from the army sent an invitation to Han Zheng, hoping that the county magistrates and local magistrates in Wuyang, Mengcheng, Fuyang, and Boxian, as well as in Suzhou, Taihe, would gather together in order to mediate the contradictions between the various parties in a peaceful way.

But the real intention of this meeting, Han Zheng was clear, it was nothing more than to mediate the contradiction between himself and Bai He and suppress his expansion around him, and he saw this very clearly.

At the end of March, the county magistrates of the six regions and the top leaders of various localities met on the vortex river, and the address they chose was also the waters at the junction of the two cities of Wuyang and Mengcheng.

The weather was fine on this day, cloudless, and the birds were singing and fragrant, which seemed to indicate that there would be a good omen for the day.

At this meeting, Bai He also came, but in the whole process, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what benefits he had gotten from several other places, and his words were all about persuading Han Zheng, a young man with a delicate face, to do things more restrained, and the tone was old-fashioned, and the elder spoke in the tone of an elder, which made Han Zheng extremely annoying, but he also had to endure it.

Because today's meeting will determine its own development space in the coming period.

For those reprimands or dissatisfied tones, Han Zheng could only pretend not to hear, however, Cao Debiao, who was transferred by Han Zheng, was not so easy to speak, and in the meeting room, Cao Debiao's eyes were like lanterns, and with the terrifying scar on Cao Debiao's face, it was particularly deterrent.

These people rely on their old age to sell the old, but they don't know that the current world is already the world of young people, and at this time they are still in love with the power and power, and they will not get a good end sooner or later.

The meaning of these people's words is that they always think that Han Zheng is so young, and he is a foreigner, he has just come to this place, even if he has developed well recently, but he does not have much foundation after all, if they didn't look at the face of Beiyang, I am afraid that Han Zheng would have been taught a lesson a long time ago.

But if they knew, no one in Han Zhengjun remembered such a team, and even what kind of expression should be on his face. Yuan Shikai was in high spirits recently, they didn't dare to risk offending Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, and the most important thing was to see the firepower displayed by Han Zhengjun.

These people can run rampant in their respective territories for many years, and they must all be gloomy people, and the other party's constant pressure is nothing more than to make themselves give in, but once they show their cowardice this time, it is estimated that there will be no good environment for development among these people in the future, which is also the reason why Han Zheng transferred Cao Debiao over this time.

It was inconvenient for him to say it, so he just let Cao Debiao say it, and let them know that he was not so easy to mess with.

Picking up a glass of water, Han Zheng couldn't help but take a sip, and then sat in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the moist breeze that blew from time to time with the peculiar to the river, as if he had fallen asleep.

At this time, Cao Debiao was in accordance with Han Zheng's instructions, giving full play to his reckless appearance and shrewd temperament in his heart, and argued with several people: "You all know about this matter, if you want to forget it, how can there be such a good thing?!" We have sacrificed nearly 100 brothers in vain! Their bones are still there!! ”

Saying this, Cao Debiao was very imposing across the table, and his body stretched out in front of the other bigwigs.

This made several people around them unconsciously feel depressed for a while, originally according to their own people's thoughts, once Han Zheng came over, he and others took the lead in attacking, saying that Han Zheng provoked the war, causing turmoil here, and put these responsibilities on Han Zheng, and then talk about others.

What I didn't expect was that since Han Zheng came in and introduced each other, he was over there without saying a word, as if he was on vacation, while his own people had to face the stupid and somewhat savage looking big black guy opposite, and if he was ready, he was left aside by this stupid big black man.

However, through Cao Debiao, everyone roughly knew what Han Zheng meant, that is: "Whoever provoked the war will be responsible for the aftermath!" As for their side, they also have to be compensated! ”

Several people couldn't help but be annoyed when they saw Cao Debiao, who was always leaving Han Zheng on Han Zheng's side, intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that Han Zheng let this stupid big man come out.

Cao Debiao was still shouting loudly across the table in front, desperately grasping for compensation.

Several people sitting here were the soil emperors of one side, and at this time, their patience was finally exhausted by Cao Debiao's endless talk, and when Cao Debiao drank saliva and was about to continue, several people finally seized the opportunity to say to Han Zheng on the side: "Han Biaotong, what do you mean?" Let's make it clear if we have something to say, this noble subordinate of yours must be tired, do you want him to go down and rest? ”

Han Zheng just woke up a little like he was asleep, squinted his eyes and glanced at a few people, then looked up at Cao Debiao, and said, "Old Cao, why are you messing with all the adults again!" When you come, I tell you to talk less and do more, don't open your mouth to offend people at every turn, what can't you say back?! I've only been sleeping for a while, and you're talking nonsense here again, so I won't take you out next time. ”

Han Zheng seemed to have reprimanded Cao Debiao, Cao Debiao hurriedly nodded in panic and uneasiness, and begged for mercy again and again, Han Zheng let him go, and said to a few people who were waiting for him to reply: "Everyone, blame me for not being strict, I've been too tired these days, I didn't expect to just come here and see the spring beauty on both sides of the river, I fell asleep in a daze, gave this kid a chance to talk nonsense, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

A few people unconsciously rolled their eyes in their hearts, thinking that if it wasn't for your instructions, how many of your soldiers would dare to do this to themselves? Even if you really fell asleep just now, then this big black man with such a big voice just now, even a pig should wake up.

As a result, several people did not answer, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

Han Zheng didn't care, and motioned for Cao Debiao to come behind him, and then continued: "Since you let me say it directly, then you're welcome, everyone is also a shepherd on their respective territories, working hard for the well-being of the people, in terms of generation and age, I am also a junior, but I still understand the truth of being an official and serving the people." ”

Han Zheng paused, and then said, "This time, Lord Bai and the two brothers want to come to my place to have a look, I am very welcome, but I didn't expect that there was a misunderstanding in the process, which brought it to this point and annoyed everyone." Originally, I also wanted to go to Fuyang County with my brothers, but there was everyone's intention in this, so we won't go, but my brothers are always a little confused, so I hope that there are some statements that can make everyone passable, otherwise the brothers will rebel, and I can't restrain it. ”

When a few people heard the meaning of Han Zheng's words, they couldn't care about Cao Debiao's affairs, and then asked, "Then what do you say?" After all, Brother Bai's younger brother also lost his life this time, and both of you have suffered a lot of casualties, and if you continue to fight, it will only cause misery. ”

Han Zheng knew that they meant to bring up the matter that Bai Liang was dead, it was nothing more than to prevent himself from making excessive demands, it seemed that this Bai He had a lot of benefits for them, thinking of this, Han Zheng looked at Bai He, who was sitting behind the table, staring at his Bai He viciously with red eyes, and smiled meaninglessly.

For these things that are acting on the spot, Han Zheng will be more or less, "I also know what everyone means, I am also very sad about the death of Brother Bai, this matter is already like this, and it is not interesting to talk about it, so let's do it, in order to appease my brothers and the families of the victims, these settlement fees and comfort fees Lord Bai will always have to pay some, as for the military expenses or something, I will pay in advance myself." ”
