"Lord!"

One day in early June, early in the morning, the sun had just risen.

Li Zheng was practicing boxing and gun on the mountain, but he saw Zhao Wu panting and climbing up, and shouted before he got close.

Li Zheng stopped and breathed, adjusted his breath, and turned around, Zhao Wu had just arrived in front of him at this time.

Zhao Wuzuo bowed, his face was a little anxious, and said, "Lord, Zhou Lin has an urgent report!" ”

"Zhou Lin?"

In Li Zheng's mind, the face of a round-faced young man appeared.

Zhou Lin was recommended by Zhao Wu in mid-April to be the manager of the Ministry of Commerce. This man is shrewd, and his personality is as smooth as his face. Such a person is indeed suitable for business, and it was recommended by Zhao Wu, so Li Zheng agreed.

Li Zheng is also very clear about Zhou Lin's origin.

It is the Fu steward who has dealt with Li Zheng several times, and Zhou Fei's nephew.

As for why Zhou Lin went to Li Zheng's hand to eat mixed rice, Zhao Wu said that it was Zhou Fei who begged him. Although Li Zheng is not clear about the reason, there are some speculations.

After Zhou Lin became the commercial minister of the grassland, he has made some achievements so far. With the excellent quality of these three commodities and Zhou Lin's wrist and network, in just one or two months, it has almost completely occupied the meat and egg market of a high-ranking family in Lingzhou!

Roughly calculated, it has made more than 20 gold for the grassland!

Don't think that 20 gold is a small amount - you know, one stone of grain is only 100 yuan, and 20 gold is 200,000 yuan, enough to buy 2,000 stone of grain!

Moreover, under Zhou Lin's operation, the reputation of the three commodities produced by Caochang has been spreading to other big cities in Beidi County, and it will not be long before the markets in these places will be opened.

Therefore, Li Zheng also recognized Zhou Lin's ability.

And he was given another task - to run a business and gather information.

"Zhou Lin came back by himself?"

Li Zheng and Zhao Wu asked as they walked down.

"Yes, Lord." Zhao Wu replied: "Zhou Lin has just come back, he looks very anxious, and the servant knows that there is something important, so he doesn't dare to delay, and comes directly to the master." ”

Li Zheng thought for a moment and muttered: "It seems that something has indeed happened, otherwise Zhou Lin would not have come back in person." "Zhou Lin has a blue bird in his hand, if the general information only needs to pass through the blue bird, it can be quickly transmitted to Li Zheng's hands.

"The servant thinks so, too."

The two of them took three steps and made two feet, and soon went down the hills, and saw Zhou Lin walking back and forth next to the school yard from a distance, looking a little anxious.

"Lord!"

Seeing Li Zheng and Zhao Wu, Zhou Lin hurriedly walked over, saluted, and said hurriedly: "Lord, the Fu family is moving to Meiyang!" ”

"What?!"

Zhao Wu first exclaimed: "The Fu family is moving to Meiyang?!" ”

Li Zheng patted Zhao Wu's shoulder and asked calmly, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"It's urgent!" Zhou Lin hurriedly replied: "Uncle sent news that the Fu family just made a decision yesterday and will move away tomorrow!" ”

"In such a hurry?!" Li Zheng couldn't help frowning, and then said, "Where is Meiyang?" ”

"Right to the wind, close to Chang'an." Zhao Wu replied.

"So far?!"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Is there something big happening in Liangzhou?" Where are Han Sui's rebels now?! ”

Zhou Lin hugged his fists and saluted, and then said: "The Lord is wise, it is the situation in Liangzhou that has changed. I learned from my uncle that in mid-March, the assassin Shi Geng contemptied the soldiers of the six counties, and had to raise 80,000 troops, and immediately attacked Han Sui. The head of the Fu family, the Taishou Fu Xie of Hanyang, advised, but Geng did not obey and led the army to attack. Marched to Longxi Di Dao, and the state was not engaged in Longxi Taishou Li Xiangru first killed Cheng Qiu, and then killed Shi Geng contempt! ”

At this point, the imperial army fell apart. The army Sima Ma Teng and the Longxi Kingdom led their troops to defect to the anti-thief Han Sui, and Han Sui and others pushed the kingdom as the leader! ”

"Now, the rebels are entrenched in Hanyang County, besieging Jicheng, the seat of Hanyang, and Fu Xie, the head of the Fu family, is in danger."

After listening to Zhou Lin's words, Li Zheng's expression became more and more condensed.

"The imperial army is newly defeated, and it is not a matter of time and a half to send a large army to re-send it to conquer. In this way, if Hanyang misses, the whole of Liangzhou will fall into the hands of the rebels, and there is no barrier in Guanzhong, so you can go straight to Chang'an? ! ”

The more he spoke, the tighter Li Zheng's brows wrinkled.

Although he had different ambitions early on, he couldn't go on the same road with the Han court. But if Liangzhou completely falls into the hands of Han Sui and these bastards, it will be even more harmful to Li Zheng!

The best form is that the imperial court forces and the rebels are holding each other in Liangzhou, so that they can fish in troubled waters!

"No wonder the Fu family wants to move away immediately, I'm afraid that the head of the family, Fu Xie, is in danger on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is afraid that the rebels will poison Liangzhou and be implicated and affect the family!"

"Hiss"

Li Zheng's mind quickly turned, and after a while, he said to Zhou Lin: "You go back to Lingzhou first, pay attention to collecting news, and wait for my order." ”

"Whoa!"

Now that the lord Li Zheng has made a decision, Zhou Lin and Zhao Wu on the side can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After getting Li Zheng's order, Zhou Lin didn't even take a sip of water, immediately turned over and got on the horse, and went to Lingzhou again.

Seeing that Zhou Lin was gone, Li Zheng said to Zhao Wu: "You go and call Dashan, Wang Laohu, Nuluo and others, I'll wait at home." ”

After finishing the order, Li Zheng walked quickly to his house.

It was only a moment after returning home, and Zhang Shan and other military leaders arrived one after another.

Withdrawing Xiaocui and Xiaoliu, Li Zheng glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Liangzhou has changed dramatically, for the sake of long-term planning, my Shenzhou grassland can no longer stay out of the matter. ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng came out one by one the news he got from Zhou Lin's mouth.

When Zhang Shan and the others heard this, they all straightened up, and their expressions became solemn.

"What do you mean?"

After hearing this, Zhang Shan immediately asked.

"Hanyang is too guarded by Fu Xie to die!" Li Zheng said categorically: "The loss of Hanyang is a foregone conclusion, and my Shenzhou Grassland is not capable of defeating hundreds of thousands of rebels, so I can only find a way to rescue Fu Nanrong!" ”

"With Fu Nanrong's prestige, as long as he lives and ascends to the heights, he will definitely be able to raise a large army soon to resist the rebel offensive and prevent Han Sui and other thieves from completely occupying Liangzhou, so as to wait for the arrival of imperial reinforcements!"

Li Zheng had different ambitions, but he didn't show it.

The Liu family ruled the world for 400 years, and the Chinese character was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the foundation of the imperial court, if the son does not die today, the world will maintain a relatively stable situation, and no one dares to move.

The only way to show dissent is to wait for the princes to rise together. Or Li Zheng's strength can completely crush the declining Han family, otherwise there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

However, the situation of Shenzhou Grassland is special, and Li Zheng believes that even if he shows his dissent, everyone under his command will not oppose or even disdain.

After all, the Shenzhou Grassland is so amazing, and in everyone's minds, it is linked to the gods. The status of the gods is naturally stronger than that of the Han family.

But Li Zheng has his own plans, at this stage, the Shenzhou grassland does not have the strength of an independent party, and only by moving closer to the Han family can he grab greater benefits.

He had already decided that before the princes merged, the only way to raise the banner of the Han family was the best choice.

"Lord, more than 100,000 rebels are entrenched in Hanyang, even if the rebels besieging Jicheng are only tens of thousands, I'm afraid," Wang Laohu first expressed his concern.

After two months of development of the grassland, with the completion of most of the roads leading to the mineral deposits, as well as the larger-scale investment of manpower, material and animal resources, coupled with the expansion of the scale of the hunting team, and the self-production of the grassland, the first-order armor forged by the forging center has been equipped with more than 200 people!

The number of blue-armored warriors in armor has increased by one - there were only seven before, and in this short period of time, there are three pregnant mothers who have also been dressed in armor after giving birth to their young. But at the same time, there were two more blue-armored warriors pregnant, plus three and minus two, only one was added.

Perhaps because of the thatch, the time of pregnancy of the Qingjia war horse is much lower than that of the war horses in other places. A war horse in a normal place takes eleven months, but a green armor war horse takes almost half the time. At the same time, Li Zheng also knew that in his pasture, the war horses that had eaten grass for a long time had also shortened the time of pregnancy.

This is a good thing for Li Zheng.

Except for the eight-headed blue-armored war horse, the growth rate of the war horse light horse is much faster.

Now, a light horse with sixty armoured horses.

In total, there are sixty-eight cavalry in Li Zheng's main battle cavalry!

Coupled with the one hundred and fifty heavily armed spearmen and more than 90 lightly armed infantry archers equipped with armor, the strength in Li Zheng's hands has exceeded three hundred!

Three hundred people don't seem to be much, but they are equipped with elite equipment, and if they really fight, Li Zheng believes that against those rabble, three or five thousand can be easily broken.

That's why Li Zheng had the idea of rescuing Fu Xie - to respond with infantry and confuse the public, and with the powerful mobility and impact of cavalry, as long as he chooses the right time and takes a cold shot, it is not without a chance to rescue Fu Xie!

Li Zheng is also very glad that the small number of people is also an advantage, at least the target is small and easy to hide.

"If you fight the rebels head-on, you can't." Li Zheng said: "It is undeniable that we are equipped with elite equipment, but after all, the number of people is too small. ”

"But who would be stupid enough to face tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of enemies head-on with three hundred men?" Li Zheng smiled and said, "Our purpose is not to defeat the Han Sui rebels, but to rescue Taishou Fu Xie. ”

"Presumably, my hundreds of men and horses will not attract the attention of the rebels too much, this is where our advantage lies! Avoid the real and look at the gap! Rescue Fu Xie and escape immediately. ”

"As for the specific tactics, I also got the ground, understand the shape, and then make plans!"

After listening to Li Zheng's plan, Zhang Shan and the others couldn't help but bow their heads together.

"If we can rescue Fu Xie Taishou, what should we do next?" At this time, Xu Xiaojiu on the side spoke.

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but show approval.

This Xu Xiaojiu may not have read a book, but his consideration is focused on the long term, which can be regarded as a bit capable.

"That's a good question," Li Zheng said: "If we wait for Fu Xie to return the same way after rescuing Fu Xie, it will inevitably lead the disaster to the pasture, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." ”

"So my thoughts are"
