Chao County Zheng Mansion.

Zheng Bao sat in the study, staring at the map and frowning.

Hurried footsteps came, and a guard bowed to Zheng Bao: "Master of the house"

"How's it going?" Zheng Bao looked at the map and asked quickly.

The guards hesitated slightly, and slowly said the news they heard: "Ge Po Yellow Turban has already given an answer, but they need a thousand gold to send troops to Chaohu."

"Presumptuous" Zheng Bao hammered hard at the case, and his anger spread instantly. How many benefits he gave them, and he was still so insatiable.

Hearing this roar, the guards were shocked and too frightened to speak.

"The head of the family" At this time, a voice came, followed by Zheng Lianzhong's figure.

Seeing Zheng Lianzhong coming, Zheng Bao's brows stretched slightly, and his tone calmed down a little: "Let's go down"

"Yes," the guard hurriedly saluted and turned to leave.

Looking at the guards who almost fled, Zheng Lianzhong showed a puzzled look: "Why did the head of the family make such a big fire? ”

"Why?" The corners of Zheng Bao's mouth showed a hint of mockery: "Ge Po Yellow Turban is not greedy enough, and he actually blackmailed our daughter"

Hearing the word daughter, Zheng Lianzhong gasped: "Thousand, daughter"

"The head of the house, the Yellow Turban bandits, are insatiable, and must not give them gold. If you don't take the money and don't do anything, but publicize the matter, although Yangzhou was big at that time, there was no place for us," Zheng Lianzhong advised.

Zheng Bao's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "They can only choose to send a partial division to Chaohu"

"Why?" Zheng Lianzhong asked.

Zheng Bao said without thinking: "Because the strength of the imperial court is far beyond their imagination, they can only choose to capture Shouchun as quickly as possible, and the best way is to attack Shuxian, the county capital."

"Surprise attack on Shu County, the county capital?" A trace of solemnity appeared in Zheng Lianzhong's eyes: "Family master, this move is too dangerous, please think twice"

Zheng Bao asked rhetorically: "If we don't let the yellow scarf enter the Lujiang River, can we take Chaohu Lake with our strength?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Lianzhong's tone was very firm.

Zheng Bao asked: "So what's next?" Once the imperial court sent the elite of the West Garden to attack Ge Po, it would be able to form a flanking attack with Yangzhou soldiers and horses on Ge Po's yellow scarves. The Lujiang defenders came to help, can we stop it? ”

"This" Zheng Lianzhong hesitated and shook his head at Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao gave a conclusion: "Although we can capture Chaohu, we can't defend it." What is the wealth of Chaohu? Why do we have to work so hard to plan Chaohu? It's not because Chaohu Lake has a large area of ownerless anointed land. If the strength of my Zheng clan is greatly damaged because of the extermination of the White Sail Water Thieves, then the Taishou will inevitably send troops to exterminate us next."

"At that time, the best outcome was to become a real water thief and hide in the endless lake, but that barren and anointed land will never be with us," Zheng Bao explained.

Zheng Lianzhong was silent, because Zheng Bao's words were the facts he was about to face.

"Why did I go to the trouble of bringing the yellow scarf here? It's not because of the anointed land around Chaohu Lake," Zheng Bao said here, pausing slightly.

Then he organized the words in his heart, and continued: "Since you know the ambition of the Yellow Turban Wolf, how can I not know"

"As long as they destroy the White Sail Water Thieves, we will launch a surprise attack in the name of the Zheng clan of Chao County. In this way, with the merit of exterminating the Yellow Turban, you can justifiably ask for the position of Chaohu Chief, and occupy the entire Chaohu Lake in a bright and bright manner," Zheng Bao explained.

Zheng Lianzhong took a deep breath and subconsciously spit out a sentence: "The clam competes for the fisherman's profit"

"Exactly," Zheng Bao replied confidently.

Zheng Lianzhong nodded solemnly: "Since the head of the family has made a decision in his heart, Lian Zhong is willing to lead a hundred elites in Chao County to obey orders at any time."

"Good" Zheng Bao suddenly became angry in his heart.

Then he looked out of the house: "Someone is coming"

"In" The guard who had just left strode in and bowed to Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao instructed him: "Immediately go to Fuzhong to count the daughters, send them to Gepo Yellow Turban, and let them quickly send troops to Chaohu."

"No," the guard replied loudly, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the departing guards, the corners of Zheng Bao's mouth flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "Just put this gold with them, and we will get it back later."

"The yellow scarves are nothing more than some refugees, and it is easy to get them back," Zheng Lianzhong echoed.

Zheng Bao didn't answer, just smiled faintly and said nothing, and the place was quiet for a moment.

Hurried footsteps came, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe bowed: "Lord Lord"

"What?" Zheng Bao asked.

The middle-aged man immediately replied: "I just received news from Chaohu that the water thieves who went to besiege Changhe Village have surrendered."

"What do you say? Surrender? Zheng Bao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with anger, and the green tendons on the back of his hands also exploded. Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous ant actually slapped himself hard.

This is a great shame, and An can swallow his anger.

Zheng Lianzhong was also shocked in his heart, after all, this proposal was made by himself, and he didn't expect those water thieves to be so ineffective.

The middle-aged man said in a firm tone: "It's true"

"The head of the family is angry" Zheng Lianzhong hurriedly persuaded him, but he was quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "These water thieves are already useless, we must not lose a big one because of a small one."

"The reason why Nachanghe Village is arrogant is because of the protection of the white sail water thief, if I destroy the white sail water thief. This ant-like village, isn't it up to us to retaliate," Zheng Lianzhong explained.

Hearing the four words of the white sail water thief, Zheng Bao gritted his teeth fiercely, revealing a fierce look: "You are right, our main enemy at this time is the white sail water thief"

"Changhe Village, I admit that I underestimated you," Zheng Bao said with a slight pause.

looked at the middle-aged man: "From now on, give me detailed information about Changhe Village, and after I dominate Chaohu Lake, I will definitely make them worse than dead."

The middle-aged man shouted his order, then turned around and walked outside.

Looking at the departing back, Zheng Bao stood up and moved his gaze to Zheng Lianzhong: "Go back and prepare well, whether the Zheng clan in Chao County can rise or not, it will be a battle here."

"Yes" Zheng Lianzhong bowed to Zheng Bao and replied loudly, but his heart was full of worry.

Are yellow turbans really easy to eliminate? How many troops will they send this time? Could it be wishful thinking to lose both?

Countless questions swirled in Zheng Lianzhong's mind, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart for a long time.

The head of the family is right, this is a key battle to determine whether the Zheng clan in Chaoxian County can rise, but why does he have an ominous premonition in his heart.

Ge Po is the most powerful Yellow Turban in the world, and the partial teachers they sent out are afraid that they can't stop them just by relying on those water thieves.

If it weren't for the defeat of both sides, but for the destruction of Gepo's yellow scarf, I'm afraid that it would be self-defeating when the time comes.
