Chapter 404: Instant Decision

"Liu Qi deliberately wants to cover up Mizhang, and it is very likely that the Jingzhou Water Division will suddenly attack Chai Sang and our Poyang Lake Water Division!"

Having come to this conclusion, even Yang Zheng himself was taken aback, and once suspected that he was too suspicious and cranky, how could the Jingzhou army, which was beaten by the Xuzhou army a year ago, have the courage to attack Jiangdong? But when he calculated carefully, Yang Zheng found that his suspicions were by no means groundless, the Jingzhou army's sneak attack on Chaisang Poyang Lake was very large, but the possibility of an ordinary actual combat exercise or taking the opportunity to sneak attack Yizhou was extremely small!

The biggest suspicion is, of course, from Liu Qi, Yang Zheng reasoned that if Liu Qi really returned to Xiangyang early this morning, then even if Liu Qi heard that he happened to be in the city as soon as he entered the city, he should first go to see his long-lost father, and then come to find his fellow disciples to fool around! After discovering this flaw, combined with Li Lang's two inadvertent discoveries, one was that he was followed when he visited Cai Mao the evening before, and the other was that he was monitored and eavesdropped when he visited Cai Mao, Yang Zheng quickly came to a conclusion - Liu Qi had already returned to Xiangyang! Even if it wasn't Liu Qi who sent someone to follow him and listen to his conversation with Cai Mao, Liu Qi would definitely know his whereabouts and the content of his conversation with Cai Mao!

Determined that Liu Qi had been in Xiangyang City for a long time, and also knew what he had done on the first day in Xiangyang City, there was only one explanation for the reason why he suddenly came to visit him - because when Cai Mao was talking to him, he inadvertently mentioned that the 80,000 main forces of Jingzhou would hold an actual combat exercise in Xiakou, and Liu Qi was worried that he would be suspicious and ruin his sneak attack plan, so he hurriedly ran to meet his brother. tested his attitude towards this matter, and then deliberately released false news to create the false impression that the Jingzhou army was preparing to attack Yizhou, so that he could believe that the Jingzhou army's Xia Kou acting was just to prepare for the attack on Yizhou, so that he could not think of the Jingzhou army's preparation for a sneak attack on Chaisang.

For Yang Zheng, Liu Qi's doing this is undoubtedly a snake to add to the cover, which in turn proves that the Jingzhou army is ready to attack Jiangdong, because if the Jingzhou army is really only ready to conduct a large-scale actual combat exercise, then Liu Qi does not need to prove anything to himself at all. Even if he reminded the Jiangdong side to prepare for battle, it was useless; Or if Liu Qi is ready to attack Yizhou. Then Liu Qi also doesn't need to prove anything to himself, let alone beg his father to dissuade the Xuzhou Army from rescuing Yizhou, because the Xuzhou Army's current strategic focus is on the northern front, and it can't spare any hands to take care of Yizhou's affairs. Liu Zhang even asked for help from the Xuzhou army. The Xuzhou army was also a whip commander, and could not interfere with the annexation of Yizhou by the Jingzhou army.

Take a hundred steps back and say. Even if Liu Qi was really afraid that the Xuzhou army would interfere with his attack on Yizhou, then Yang Zheng believed that the most correct thing for Liu Qi should be to negotiate directly with Deputy Director Tao. In exchange for Deputy Director Tao's acquiescence to the annexation of Yizhou by the Jingzhou Army, instead of asking Yang Zheng's father Yang Changshi to dissuade him, because Yang Zheng knew very well that although his father was in a high position in the Xuzhou Army, he never spoke in strategic decision-making, and even if he came forward to dissuade the Xuzhou Army from rescuing Deputy Director Tao of Yizhou, he would not listen. Combined with these suspicions, coupled with Liu Qi's desire to cover up Mizhang's unintentional exposure of timidity, Yang Zheng came to the final conclusion - the Jingzhou army is about to sneak attack Chaisang and compete with the Xuzhou army for Jiangdong land!

Yang Zheng is also worthy of being Yang Changshi's eldest son, and has completely inherited Yang Changshi's greedy life and fear of death, so even if he found out about this danger, Yang Zheng was not stupid enough to shake out in Xiangyang City in front of Liu Qi, but he fooled around with Liu Qi in the brothel for most of the day, until Shen Shi drunk Liu Qi in the afternoon, and then left the brothel hand in hand with Liu Qi, during which Yang Zheng also wrote a letter to his father in front of Liu Qi, begging his father to come forward to dissuade the Xuzhou army from rescuing Yizhou, Liu Qi was overjoyed to see the letter, I had to be reminded by Yang Zheng, and I also wrote a letter to Yang Changshi, greeting Yang Changshi as a protΓ©gΓ©, and then handed the letter to Yang Zheng, and asked Yang Zheng to take it back to Xuchang and hand it over to Yang Changshi.

Halfway through the Shen time, Liu Qi, who was already drunk, personally sent Yang Zheng back to the pavilion, and then gave his hand to leave, but Yang Zheng, who was also drunk, did not relent, and pulled Liu Qi to invite Liu Qi to go out of the city to hunt together another day, saying that he wanted to invite his brother to see his martial arts, Liu Qi accepted Yang Zheng's invitation with drunkenness, and then said goodbye and left. As a result, as soon as Liu Qi left on his front foot, the drunken spring on Yang Zheng's face disappeared immediately, and he immediately pulled Li Lang to the inner room, told Li Lang about his suspicions, and discussed countermeasures with Li Lang.

Like Yang Zheng's suspicions, Li Lang was first taken aback after listening to Yang Zheng's suspicion analysis, and then asked suspiciously: "Young Master, this is unlikely, right?" If Liu Biao and Liu Qi dare to do this, when our main force comes back, they will not slap his old Liu family to death? ”

"If our sailors are finished, then even if our main force turns around, it won't be able to slap Liu Biao and Liu Qi to death." Yang Zheng calmly analyzed: "Jingzhou has the danger of the Han River in the north, and the Yangtze River in the south, as long as the Jingzhou army can quickly eliminate our surface forces, then even if our main force returns to the southern line, it will not be able to clean up the Jingzhou army for a while and a half. ”

"The young master said he was joking, right?" Li Lang said with a smile: "Just these water ducks in Jingzhou, when they get to the land, the villain can also single-handedly pick one or two of them, and they are also worthy of competing with us for world domination?" ”

"Uncle Li, you may be right to think so, but Liu Qi may not think so." Yang Zheng said calmly: "Last time we were in Nanyang, we did beat the Jingzhou army very badly, but we only defeated Huang Zu and Cai Mao, and did not defeat Liu Qi. ”

"The young master is right to say this, at his age, it is also the time to compete and want to make achievements." Li Lang nodded, and said, "For the sake of prudence, we have to report to Shi Shangshu and Lu Dudu as soon as possible, and ask them to be prepared for caution, so that we can ensure that something happens." If you want a lot of masters, you should write a letter immediately, and the villain arranged for the entourage to return to Xuchang to report the news first. ”

"Of course, it is necessary to report to Xuchang immediately, but I am worried that it may be too late to report to Xuchang." Yang Zheng said: "Uncle Cai once said. The Jingzhou army is scheduled to hold an actual combat drill at the end of this month, and the time for Liu Qi to send troops to attack Chaisang may also be the end of the month, now the season is in the middle of winter, the northwest wind is blowing tightly, and Xiakou is in the upper reaches of Chaisang. Today is November 16, and there are only a dozen days left until the end of the month, and our messenger has sent the news to Xuchang. Xuchang sent the news to Chaisang and Danyang again. Wait for Lu Dudu to increase their troops and chaisang, and the daylily will be cold! ”

"That's just as well." Li Lang thought about it carefully and nodded, and then suggested: "Young Master, why don't we send a letter directly to Qiao Rui and Lu Dudu." They saw our letter and called the police. Even if not entirely convinced. It will also definitely be on guard. ”

"The lower section of the Hanshui was all mastered by the Jingzhou army, and there were many checkpoints along the way, and the main force of the Jingzhou army assembled in Xiakou to stand by. Surely the Yangtze River route will also be heavily defended, and our messenger may be so easy to deliver the letter to Chaisang? Yang Zheng shook his head.

"That's going to be tough." Li Lang was embarrassed: "It's too late to send a letter to Xuchang, and the road to send a letter to Chaisang is not open, what can I do?" ”

"It's okay, I've figured it out." Yang testified amazingly, first asked Li Lang to bring pen and ink silk inkstone, and then took out the letter he asked Liu Qi to write to his father, imitating Liu Qi's handwriting and wrote such a warrant on the silk: 'There are two officials who are hereby acting under orders, 100,000 urgent, the sentry posts along the way must not be blocked, immediately release and make it convenient!' Jiangxia is too shou Liu Qi to write it himself! ’

"It's a real imitation." Li Lang, who knew a few words, was first surprised, and then hurriedly said: "Young master, it's not enough to rely on this warrant alone, you have to have Liu Qi's token ......." ”

Before Li Lang's words were finished, Yang Zheng had already taken out a token from his sleeve, tossed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "I stole it from the carriage just now, Liu Qi's own identity token, Uncle Li, this can be regarded as a token, right?" Liu Qi is already drunk, and he doesn't need a token when he goes back to his home, so he shouldn't find out for a while, right? ”

Li Lang's mouth opened wide, and he didn't know what to say about Yang Zheng, the young master who had watched him grow up since he was a child-there were more ghost tricks than himself, a veteran who likes to pretend to be a thief and robber! Yang Zheng stopped talking, and quickly wrote a letter to Tai Shi Ci to report the matter, asking Tai Shi Ci to immediately report to Shiyi for himself, and then handed this letter to Li Lang along with Liu Qi's letter and his own letter to his father, and instructed: "Uncle Li, immediately arrange two reliable entourage, let him take these three letters back to Wancheng on our ship, and if there is an inspection on the way, show my letters to my father and Liu Qi, hide my letters to General Taishi, and pretend to be sending letters to my father for me and Liu Qi." ”

Li Lang agreed, and when he was about to go down to make arrangements, Yang Zheng instructed again: "Uncle Li, by the way, prepare two sets of ordinary clothes, you and mine, as well as prepare some gold and pearls, we will go out of the city immediately and hire a civilian boat to go to Chaisang to call the police." ”

"Shall we deliver the letter?" Li Lang's eyes almost didn't pop out, and he said in surprise: "Young Master, aren't you joking?" How good it is to send someone to deliver the letter, why should you go to Chaisang to call the police in person? ”

"I can't trust anyone else." Yang Zheng replied: "Besides, this time the letter is very dangerous, as long as the slightest flaw is exposed, the letter is exposed, our messenger may die without a place to be buried, and the slightest mistake will be wasted, only I and you can be improvisable on the road, even if it is exposed, the Jingzhou army has no way to know the purpose of our southward movement, and will not kill us casually." ”

"But what about your messenger?" Li Lang hurriedly said again: "Young Master, don't forget, you are the messenger who came to greet Yuan Xiaogongzi, what should you do if Yuan Xiaogongzi leaves?" ”

"Yuan buys a child who is less than ten years old, except for the main mother who feels sorry for his younger brother and attaches importance to him, who else will pay attention to him?" Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, he won't be in danger, just send someone else to pick him up next time." ”

Li Lang opened his mouth wide again, and only said after a while: "Young Master, I know that you are also young and vigorous now, and you want to make great achievements, which is not bad, but have you thought about it, Young Master, if this matter goes wrong, your future will be completely ruined." ”

"At least I won't lose my life." Yang Zheng said calmly: "I have thought about it carefully, even if there is anything wrong with this matter, with my father's old face sitting at the lord's place, coupled with the intercession of Uncle Jia and the two uncles Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, the lord will never want my life." But if I do it. Our Yang family can be as safe as Mount Tai forever under the main account, and we don't need our Yang family to be counted as old accounts after a hundred years of my father. ”

Li Lang wanted to persuade again, but Yang Zheng impatiently urged: "Uncle Li, go and do it, every hour is invaluable to us now, and now the city gate is not closed, let's get out of the city quickly, otherwise we can only wait for tomorrow." Uncle Li, don't worry, we will share the credit equally for this matter. I am not guilty of any crime, and I am responsible for it alone. You won't be implicated. ”

In the end, he also watched Yang Zheng grow up, and he had some feelings for Yang Zheng, so although he knew that Yang Zheng's move was very risky, in order to fulfill the eldest young master's desire to make contributions. Li Lang still gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. immediately went to prepare the layout according to Yang Zheng's instructions. Yang Zheng calmly immediately started to change clothes, changed into a set of people's clothes and prepared to go out, and kept thinking about various details in his heart. He also called his other old family member, Chen Er, to the room and explained in his ear.

So soon, a messenger with Yang Zheng's two letters and Liu Qi's letters went out of the city first, to the water wharf to take a boat north to return to Wancheng, and then Chen Er led a few entourages to drive Yang Zheng's carriage out, deliberately to Xiangyang City, pretending to visit the street scene, attracting the attention of Liu Qi's possible eyeliner, Yang Zheng and Li Lang, who had changed into people's clothes, took the opportunity to climb over the wall and left the pavilion, and immediately went out of the city from the east gate of Xiangyang after confirming that no one was tracking, and hired a civilian boat to go south to the Hanshui wharf. With a smooth sail and water, I rushed all the way to Chaisang.

Yang Zheng's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger played a key role during this period, and he had lost his vigilance against Yang Zheng, although Liu Qi still arranged eyeliner to monitor Yang Zheng, but Yang Zheng's carriage brought the eyeliner to the city and turned around, and he didn't even notice that it was just an empty carriage - because Chen Er spoke to the car more than once according to Yang Zheng's instructions, and deliberately bought sobering soup and sent it into the car, pretending to be Yang Zheng drunk in the car. So until the next morning, Liu Qi, who had just woken up from a big drink, didn't know that his good junior brother had already left Xiangyang, and he had already arrived at Lankou smoothly.

At the same time, it was also the next morning, Liu Qi, who didn't need his identity token when he returned to his home, found that his token had disappeared, and at first Liu Qi thought that he was accidentally left in the carriage or Cuihong Mansion, and sent someone to the carriage to look for it, and sent someone to Cuihong Mansion to ask about his whereabouts, and after finding nothing at all, Liu Qi had some suspicions, and hurriedly came to the pavilion to meet Yang Zheng, wanting to see if his identity token was in Yang Zheng's hand. As a result, Chen Er told Liu Qi according to Yang Zheng's instructions, saying that Yang Zheng and Li Lang had already left the city early in the morning to go to Huangjiawan to deliver a letter to Huang Shuo.

Liu Qi sent people to Huangjiawan to look for Yang Zheng, of course, but he found nothing, when Liu Qi, who was puzzled after learning the news, hurriedly sent people to look around, Chen Er, an old family member of Yang Mansion, also began to make a fuss, while running to Xiangyang Government to report Yang Zheng's disappearance, and on the other hand, he went to Cai Mao's house to report the matter, and pulled Cai Mao and Cai Cheng into the water to mix up this matter and distract Liu Qi's attention, as a result, the Cai Mao brothers, who hated Liu Qi so much, naturally did not miss this opportunity, and quickly jumped out to make the matter bigger, and asked Sheng Liu Biao to investigate the disappearance of the imperial court envoy in detail- also investigated what happened to Yang Zheng and Liu Qi in Cuihong Mansion by the way.

By the way, the meticulous Young Master Yang Zheng also arranged a backup plan for Chen Er, that is, if the Jingzhou army found out that Yang Zheng had escaped from Xiangyang City, Chen Er would have to explain to Liu Qi that Yang Zheng had returned to Wancheng, and attracted Liu Qi's attention to Nanyang. Fortunately, Chen Er didn't use this backup plan that he had to suffer a little bit of.

Fortunately for Liu Qi, Chen Er's entourage insisted that Yang Zheng left the city on his own, and there were prostitutes from Cuihong Mansion who proved that Liu Qi had been calling Yang Zheng brothers, and was also ready to ransom two popular prostitutes to Yang Zheng as concubines, so Cai Mao's brothers failed to frame him for killing Yang Zheng, but forced Liu Biao to order a strict investigation of the matter. As a result, Chen Er's entourage of Yang Zheng left Xiangyang smoothly, and Liu Qi also hurriedly returned to Xiakou to preside over the Eastern Expedition the day after confirming Yang Zheng's disappearance.

Of course, Liu Qi, who has been completely taken by Yang Changshi, once suspected that his good junior brother Yang Zheng was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and after discovering that he was trying to sneak attack Chaisang, he first deceived himself and then took the opportunity to escape from Xiangyang to report the news, but Liu Qi was not afraid of this at all, but just snorted coldly in his heart: "Yang Zhengpifu, even if you go to report the news, the southern Hanshui route is full of checkpoints." If you can't get by, go back to Xuchang to report the news, and wait for Xuchang to send the news to Chaisang, and the daylily will be cold! And even if you can send the news to Chaisang in time, you would never have dreamed that when we send troops to Chaisang, what kind of reinforcements will stand up to meet us! ”

………………

Li Lang, a veteran who has been rolling and crawling on the battlefield for more than 30 years, has always been very proud of his unfazed and clever and well-behaved, but when it came time to accompany Yang Zheng to shuttle through the enemy-occupied area to the south to call the police, Li Lang found that his pride was completely gone. Because Yang Zheng was traveling with him through enemy-occupied areas. actually behaved more cleverly, slicker, and more calm than him, which also made Li Lang more and more suspicious of whether Yang Zheng was Yang Changshi's kind - in the face of the enemy's swords and guns, Yang Zheng's performance was simply too much stronger than his father Yang Changshi.

It's the same as Liu Qi's pride. On the Han River waterway from Xiangyang to Xiakou. That's really three miles and one pass, and five miles and one card. The Jingzhou army was very tightly guarded, and often Jingzhou soldiers boarded the ship to inspect it after they could not go far, and Yang Zhengleng turned out to be a stolen token and a forged warrant. and his own vivid majestic temperament, the Jingzhou soldiers who boarded the ship for inspection were bluffed, and quickly gave way to release and provided various conveniences, but even the boatman hired by Li Lang said that he was stained with Yang Zheng's light, and he had never gone south so smoothly after running the ship on the Han River for decades.

This is not counting, Yang Zheng is still a very careful person, after the ship arrived in Zhangshan, for the sake of prudence, Yang Zheng gave the originally hired boatman a deposit, let him wait for him at Zhangshan Wharf for three days, pretending that he was doing things in Zhangshan, and then took Li Lang to quietly change to a completely different civilian boat, and continued to go south to Xiakou, so as to avoid the pursuers behind from knowing the appearance of their ships from the checkpoint and chasing after them, and also disturbing the sight of the pursuers by the way. Li Lang admired this so much that he threw himself on the ground, and even praised Yang Changshi for not having such a scheming as Yang Zheng.

The most dangerous is Xiakou, more than seventy percent of the Jingzhou sailors have basically gathered on the surface of Xiakou, more than 6,000 Jingzhou sailors ships come and go on the river, dense like a carp crossing the river, it is difficult for even a fly to fly over, and at the same time prohibit the navigation of civilian ships, many sailor ships from Jiangling and Xiangyang do not recognize Liu Qi's warrant at all, Li Lang once persuaded Yang Zhengshe to land the ship, bypass Xiakou by land and continue south. As a result, Yang Zheng resolutely ordered the hired ships to sail to the Jiangxia Water Village controlled by Liu Qi, and showed a Liu Qi general a forged warrant and Liu Qi token, asking the Liu Qi general to help him pass through Xiakou.

That moment was also the most dangerous moment for Yang Zheng and Li Lang to call the police this time, Rao is Li Lang could be regarded as having been born and died countless times on the battlefield, and he was so nervous that he almost soaked his underwear in a cold sweat, but Yang Zheng calmly said to General Liu Qi with a Huainan accent: "General, the matter is very important, the eldest prince has repeatedly explained, and you must not let Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Zhang Yun know about this matter, and I will ask the eldest prince for credit to you afterwards." ”

Yang Zheng's acting skills finally deceived the Liu Qi general, not only immediately took Yang Zheng's boat through the defense area of the Jingzhou Navy Division, but also thanked Yang Zheng for a thousand kindnesses and was grateful, but as soon as he left the defense area of the Jingzhou Navy Division, Li Lang immediately collapsed in the cabin, unable to say a word for a long time, Yang Zheng was extremely calm and stuffed a piece of gold into the hand of the Liu Qi general, saying that it was rewarded for Liu Qi, so that the Liu Qi general thanked Yang Zheng for a long time.

After passing Xiakou, there are still hundreds of miles of voyage under the control of the Jingzhou Naval Division, but fortunately, this place has been under the control of Liu Qi's team, with Liu Qi's fake warrant and real token, Yang Zheng and Li Lang's ships simply completed the last voyage unimpeded, and came to the Xuzhou Army's Poyang Lake Naval Division Defense Area east of Xiapheasant, and then Yang Zheng did not hesitate, and immediately went to the Xuzhou Naval Division's warship to reveal his identity and origin, and asked to immediately meet Chaisang Guard's general Qiao Rui and the naval general Jiang Qin. What relieved Yang Zheng was that the Xuzhou Naval Division monitored the Yangtze River waterway quite closely, and was obviously very vigilant against the large-scale transfer of the Jingzhou Naval Division, and it was not so easy for Liu Qi to sneak attack Chaisang.

Qiao Rui and Yang Changshi are old acquaintances, although the friendship is mediocre, they are also very familiar, plus Yang Zheng's obscene and thin face that is almost carved out of the same mold as Yang Changshi, Yang Zheng doesn't need to show his identity credentials, so he lets Qiao Rui know that Yang Zheng is from Yang Changshi's species. So after meeting, Qiao Rui immediately exclaimed to Yang Zheng: "Virtuous nephew, aren't you in Xuchang?" How did you get to Chaisang? Also, I heard that you came from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the blockade there is so that even our fine fishing boats can't pass through, how did you get here? ”

"Uncle, how did the little nephew come here, the little nephew will introduce it later." Yang Zheng said quickly: "Did Lu Dudu come with the Chaohu Water Division?" The little nephew found out the top-secret military situation, the main force of the Jingzhou Navy Division of more than 80,000 people and more than 6,000 boats, and it is possible that they will come to attack Chaisang in a few days! Their primary target is likely to be our Poyang Lake Sailor! ”

"Are you sure that the Jingzhou Navy Master is coming to attack us?!" Qiao Rui and Jiang Qin both jumped up.

"I don't dare to be absolutely sure, but I am eighty percent sure!" Yang Zheng replied categorically, and hurriedly asked, "Is our Chaohu Water Master here?" The little nephew has heard that the water war is the most taboo division of troops, and now it is the middle of winter, the wind direction and water flow are very unfavorable to our sailors, if the Chaohu sailors can't come in time to reinforce, it will be bad! ”

Qiao Rui and Jiang Qin looked at each other, and after hesitating for a long time, Qiao Rui attached to Yang Zheng's ear and whispered: "Virtuous nephew, we are also aware of the change in the Jingzhou Sailor, but Liu Qi has already sent a messenger to inform us, saying that he is just an excuse to conduct actual combat drills and take the opportunity to collect the naval division power in the hands of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and ask us not to misunderstand, so we are not in a hurry to ask Lu Dudu for help." It wasn't until five days ago that one of our servants came to Chaisang by land to report on the super-large-scale assembly of the Jingzhou sailors at Xiakou that we hurriedly sent a speedboat to ask for help from the governor. ”

"Oh no, this must be the Jingzhou Army's delaying tactic!" Yang Zheng complained bitterly, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Qiao, based on your analysis, when will our Chaohu Lake Sailor arrive at Chaisang Poyang Lake?" ”

"This ......." Qiao Rui was embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "Our Chaohu Water Division is now stationed in two parts, one is in Spring Valley, and the other is in Jiangdu, to protect our river crossing channel, and the current wind direction and water flow are very unfavorable to them, when they can gather to help, Uncle is not sure, but it is estimated that it will be after the fifth day of the winter month at the earliest, and the Chaohu Water Division may come to help." ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Rui suddenly remembered a major event, and hurriedly asked: "Virtuous nephew, can you find out the sneak attack time of the Jingzhou Water Master?" ”

"Uncle Qiao, General Jiang, you have to be calm." Yang Zheng said with a wry smile: "The approximate time for Jingzhou I found out is the end of the month, and today is the twenty-two, that is to say, in the past seven or eight days, the Jingzhou Navy Division may come to attack us at any time." ”

Jiang Qin and Qiao Rui's faces turned a little pale, and after a while, Qiao Rui asked, "Virtuous nephew, is your news accurate?" ”

"Uncle forgive me, I am only seventy or eighty percent sure of the time to send out the army." Yang Zheng replied casually, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Qiao, did Yuzhang Yuan Yao make any moves here?" The Jingzhou army went east to attack Jiangdong this time, the first opponent was in addition to our Chaisang and Poyang Lake Water Division, as well as Yuan Yao of Yuzhang, Nanchang was only three hundred miles away from Chaisang, if Yuan Yao and the Jingzhou army secretly concluded an alliance, we would be enemies on both sides.
