"Lao Hu - this month's military salary is about to be paid, and I can have a beautiful meal again. Otherwise, the birds will fade out of their mouths, and the days when they don't fight are really comfortable! This little wind is blowing and drinking a little wine, how comfortable it is to be so comfortable, but I don't know how much I will be able to marry a beautiful wife to warm the bed and have a big fat boy, I will stop being a soldier and go home to farm. It was the small soldiers stationed along the coast of Changsha County who spoke.

"Xiao Ding, you little soldier, Mao hasn't opened up yet! began to dream of spring and autumn! The monthly salary is not enough for you to drink, and you still want to marry a wife! My old Hu has been a soldier for five or six years, and I haven't saved anything! It's good that there is no war now, and this place where we are stationed is relatively quiet, so that we can live a good life. I heard that some Taiping Sect people have started to be arrested in the city recently, and it has been bloody, isn't it that the peaceful days are coming to an end! Another slightly older veteran also sat by the river and watched the boundless sunset, and was aroused by Xiao Ding's words and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Ding saw a little fishing fire in the distance gradually approaching, and when he got closer and closer, he saw dozens of large boats with colorful sails on them. Xiao Ding wiped his eyes vigorously, making sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed a colorful sailboat, and a group of water bandits "Jinfan Thieves" that Lao Hu said flashed in his head.

"Lao Hu - look, isn't it the ship of the Jinfan thief? Isn't it dazzling-" Xiao Ding couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly pulled the old beard outside the wandering object back to reality.

"Xiao Ding, you have sharp legs and feet-go to the beacon tower to light the beacon fire, just say that there are water bandits coming-" Lao Hu got up and looked at it, dozens of warships lined up in a mighty stream, and they were almost close to the battlements on the shore, and he couldn't help but hurriedly let Xiao Ding go to the electric beacon to smoke on the wolf smoke. There has been no battle alarm for a long time, and Xiao Ding lit the wolf dung for a long time before igniting it, and a black smoke soared up. Immediately after that, a long row of wolf smoke kept passing—

When the alarm appeared in Changsha County, there were different degrees of commotion in Jianye County, Guiyang County, Xindu County, and Jian'an County in Yangzhou, and small-scale bandits and bandits began to lead teams to loot these large counties, not to mention other small counties. It's just strange that Yangzhou City is indeed quiet, and there is no trace of it outside the city.

Looking at the sudden appearance of the military situation, Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Zhao sat in the lobby to discuss, and Zhou Yu at this moment had some frowns - he really wanted to say that the house leak happened to be rainy, and in addition to reporting bandits, there was also a situation where the common people could not buy food, and now they found that there was also an enemy situation on the water, if it wasn't for Zhou Yu's familiarity with history, he really thought that now was the era of the princes' scuffle, but this kind of thing also made him a little overwhelmed.

"Gong Jin - according to my guess, the bandits in various places and the military situation in Changsha County all point to one place." Cheng Yu looked at the military situation when the fast horse came back, and he felt that the first thing that could do such a big thing in Yangzhou must be the scholars and the scholars, and only they had such financial and material resources.

"Where?" Zhou Yu actually knew that it was the Zheng family who led the water bandits to Yangzhou this time, and as soon as the people from the Zheng family stepped out of Yangzhou, the shadow people had already followed, and found that the place where the Zheng family father and son were going was Dongting Lake, and immediately reported to Zhou Yu. According to the shadow report, Zhou Yu learned that the Zheng family must have invited foreign aid to plot against Yangzhou, but he didn't say these things explicitly, he wanted to sharpen his advisers, if such a small enemy could not be eradicated, how could he help him win the world!

"Yangzhou Zheng family—" Cheng Yu paused and said.

"Brother Zhongde, are you mistaken? How could it be the Zheng family? The Zheng family is the leading big family in Yangzhou, and it was even more dominant in the states and counties of Yangzhou before, and the grain stores and rice stores were involved. Besides, fornicating with bandits is a capital crime, and their family won't be so stupid! "The speaker is Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, he was originally from Xuzhou. Because of his fame and fame and Tao Qian's fancies, he wanted to recommend Zhang Zhao as the governor of the Taishou Mansion, but Zhang Zhao felt that Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu were already declining and would not let himself do anything big, so he refused Tao Qian's invitation. Although Tao Qian, who was the Taishou of a state, was known for his good temper, he was dismissed by a poor scholar, and he was also angry and ordered Zhang Zhao to be imprisoned, and later fortunately rescued by his friends to get out, but Zhang Zhao finally saw through this Tao Qian, and he crossed the Yangtze River and moved to Yangzhou. happened to meet Zhou Yu posted a recruitment list, he wanted to find a petty official to try it out, how do you know that Zhou Yu happened to be in the recruitment hall, and when he heard that it was Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, he couldn't help but take him to the Taishou Mansion and appoint him as the chief of the Taishou Mansion. Zhang Zhao was blinded by Zhou Yu, so he accepted the position of the governor of Yangzhou Taishou Mansion in such a daze, and when he reacted, it was already difficult to ride a tiger. However, with talents like Guo Jia and Cheng Yu pressed in front, Zhang Zhao felt that he was underestimating the world's talents, and in the end he knew that it was Yangzhou Taishou Zhou Yu who pulled him into the palace, he finally shut up obediently and began to do his best to be the chief official of the Taishou Mansion.

"Brother Zibu - Brother Zhongde is right, you should know that we now have a common enmity with the Zheng family in Yangzhou, Zhou Yu took the place of the Zheng family's son-in-law as soon as he came, and asked Zheng Bao to hand over the military power under coercion and inducement, and suddenly brought down the Zheng family's two backers in Yangzhou, so that the Zheng family can no longer dominate Yangzhou as before, how can the Zheng family not report such a big feud? These are the news that I asked the spies of various states and counties to report back, the mountain bandits raided the county seat, and only the Zheng family's shops and restaurants were not damaged, if a place is a coincidence, then many coincidences add up to prove that the person behind this must be the Zheng family. On the other hand, there are a few families in Yangzhou who can do such a thing in a short period of time, and there must be no doubt that it is the Zheng family! is a good Zheng family, and he is still a big deal, but such a commotion is too pediatric. If Zheng Qian was in front of Guo Jia, he would have to scold Guo Jia for being a yellow-mouthed child, he had to dig out his mind to come up with such a clever trick, but he was laughed at by a young descendant.

"If that's the case - this Zheng family is too brainless! Such a scheme is not enough to shake the foundation of Yangzhou, and it is a little naïve to want to rely on a few bandits and bandits to take revenge. After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Zhang Zhao knew that Zhou Yu and the Zheng family still had such a festival, so the Zheng family's plan was a little insufficient. The water bandits in Changsha County are at most harassed on the shore, and the mountain bandits in other states and counties can be ordered to be exterminated on the spot, as long as the Zheng family in Jianye County is surrounded and arrested, the masterminds Zheng Qian and Zheng Bao, the masterminds of the Zheng family, will be destroyed in an instant, and these mountain bandits will be disintegrated as soon as the Zheng family is destroyed.

"Haha - since all three of you said this is easy to handle, I'll leave it to the three of you! Tomorrow I will go to Changsha County to meet this brocade thief in person, and maybe I can catch a big fish and come back. Zhou Yu heard that Guo Jia and Cheng Yu despised the Zheng family's scheme, but he didn't expect the new Zhang Zhao to be also contemptuous, it seems that the Zheng family really can't afford any big storms in Yangzhou, and the Jinfan thieves have the famous Ganning Ganxingba, if you can subdue this person, then your own navy will be half built, and the navy in this Han Dynasty is the least valued, but Zhou Yu knows that the navy has a lot of convenience in the transportation of grain and grass and soldiers in the later period, whether it is to conquer the Turks or Goryeo or the Wa Kingdom in the future, There must be a strong naval army all the time, and this trip is imperative.

"Gong Jin - I think this Zheng family must have a backhand, otherwise these secret passages they left behind will be difficult to play a role, it is better to leave General Dian Wei to sit in the Taishou Mansion, and let General Jiang Qin go to Changsha County with you, after all, General Ding Feng is proficient in water warfare and can help you very well, and the kung fu in his hands is not weak." Guo Jia saw through these crude schemes, but he always felt that the Zheng family would always have a backhand, but he knew that Zhou Yu was also proficient in the art of water warfare, and it was most suitable for him to go to Changsha County. Even if the Zheng family has a master coming, Dian Wei and Zhou Tai can deal with it here, as for Zhou Yu, he has the means to escape even if he encounters a master.

"Well—don't let our base camp be! I'm going to settle accounts with you—"
