Zheng Hui was also silent for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way to Huzhou, he had already discussed with his second brother many times, how Huzhou would view this matter and what kind of reaction he would make, they didn't know what to do.

But as the second brother said, if you don't come once, you can't let go.

In this way, the empty-handed return to Shouzhou basically announced that the Zheng family would disappear from the upper social map of Shouzhou.

With the mentality of the two Umeda families, they will never tolerate the existence of the Zheng family, which has lost the foundation of their strength, and being swept away is already the greatest luck, and it is more likely to be completely eaten.

Thinking of this, Zheng Hui's heart was tight, he had already suffered a heavy blow in the ant thief's capture of Huoqiu, if he was swept out by the Umeda family, the Zheng family really had no chance of recovering.

So on this issue, Zheng Hui agreed with the second brother's trip to Huzhou.

Huzhou's attitude makes people go up and down, and it is difficult to sleep well.

Jiang Feng, the assassin of Huzhou, was not in Huzhou, he went to Chang'an, and the time of return is uncertain, so I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in a month or two.

If the person in charge is not there, will the left-behind personnel dare to make a decision?

Especially these people were gathered by Jiang Feng in a fairly short period of time, how much trust does Jiang Feng have in these people?

Can they command an army?

There is no coach who does not regard the military power as an arch, although Cui Shang is Jiang Feng's Sima, but Zheng Hui does not think that a strategist who has only been in Huzhou for a few months can make such a big decision on behalf of the coach.

It's a pity that Jiang Feng has neither a marriage match nor an heir, otherwise there should be someone who can be the master.

"Second brother, now that we have done what we have to do, it is up to the Huzhou side to make a decision. After a long time, Zheng Huicai said in a deep voice: "The Huzhou side is definitely interested in Shouzhou, which can be seen from the detail of all the questions they asked, otherwise they can be completely perfunctory, but the only regret is that Jiang Feng is not in Huzhou." ”

Shaking his head, Zheng Hong took a deep breath, "We can't wait for Jiang Feng to come back, I bet that if we go back this time, the two Umeda families will attack us, so we must pull Huzhou in no matter what." ”

"Can we go back and make a false shot, and say that the Huzhou side supports us to rebuild Huoqiu?" Zheng Hui thought about it and said.

Zheng Hong's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, and he shook his head slowly: "No, this will only lead to a fire, and even force the Umeda family to immediately attack our Zheng family." They have four armies in their hands, and we, most of the Fifth Army has collapsed, and now we only have a few hundred private soldiers of our family left in Shouchun City, and they can't fight against them at all, and they really wipe us out, with Huaibei and Huainan as the backing, Huzhou also has nothing to do with them, without us to do internal response, the Huzhou army wants to storm Shouchun City The cost is too great, and Huzhou will not do it. ”

"Then what should we do?" Zheng Hui also felt that what his brother said was in line with the style of the Umeda family, and he was a little too naïve.

"It is still necessary to let the Huzhou army intervene. Zheng Hong's face became more and more gloomy, "Only by completely dragging the Huzhou army into the bureau, can we survive in the dead, otherwise even if we are lucky to survive, Huaibei and Huainan will not tolerate it, and let the Huzhou army be stationed in Shouchun City, completely sweep the two Umeda out of the house, our Zheng family fully cooperates with the Huzhou army, only in this way can we protect the interests of our Zheng family." ”

"But Jiang Feng is not here, who can call the shots in the Huzhou Army?" Zheng Hui shook his head, "Although Cui Shang is Sima, I am afraid that he will not dare to decide such a major matter, and the Huzhou Army may not obey his orders, and although Chen Wei is a local clan, I think he has not even shown his face today, I think I am afraid that Jiang Feng also deliberately does not let him participate in military affairs, and this military power is probably still firmly in the hands of Jiang Feng alone." ”

Zheng Hong still recognizes his fifth brother's ability to observe, analyze and judge, yes, he has a rough understanding of the situation of the Huzhou army, the three armies, plus the incomplete cavalry army and the tooth army, are clearly distinguished.

The first army is the absolute main force, the army commander is Yang Kan, a general from the Liang family, the second army is Xu Ziqing of the Xu family, the third army is Jiang Feng's classmate Zhang Yue, and the cavalry army and the Ya army are respectively in charge of Qin Zaidao, who was born in the old army of Guangzhou, and Ding Man, who was born in the Liang department.

"There's another person who might have a role to play, or maybe call the shots. Zheng Hong said slowly.

"Who?" Zheng Hui was surprised.

"Xu's daughter. Zheng Hong thoughtfully, "The second daughter of the Xu family, it is said that Jiang Feng intends to take his eldest daughter as his wife and his second daughter as a concubine, I believe that these two daughters can play a role." ”

"Oh, you want to see me?" Xu Ning's eyes froze, and he turned cold in an instant, and his eyebrows were a little more thoughtful, "You didn't say your name?"

"I didn't say it. The servant girl lowered her head, "But the servant saw that the inn sergeant was escorting her." ”

"Sergeant of the post house?" Xu Ning was even more surprised, and put down the scroll in his hand.

Huzhou Post House is newly built, only for visitors from the outside world, so long in addition to holding the appointment ceremony when there are foreign guests to use, the rest of the time has been free, ordinary people are not eligible to stay in the post house next to the Thorn Mansion.

I didn't expect that the people who came were escorted by the post house sergeant, you must know that the post house sergeant is almost all filled by the elite of the tooth army, which also shows that the identity of the person who came is extraordinary.

"What did he say?" Xu Ning was a little interested.

Could it be that someone from Chang'an is from Chang'an? Why should someone from Chang'an be so sneaky, and it doesn't seem very reasonable to find himself.

Even though Erlang is not there, but there are Chen Wei and Du Tuo in the text, and Cui Shang in the martial arts, even if Yang Kan is not in Huzhou City, at least Xu Ziqing is also there, how can he come to his own door?

Xu Ning and Xu Jing still live alone in the small courtyard, but the location of the small courtyard has been changed, and they have been replaced to live with a cadre of generals and officials, which is convenient for vigilance and protection.

"He said he had come to visit Mrs. Thorn. The maidservant whispered.

Xu Ning suddenly raised his gaze, "Mrs. Thorn Shi?"

This title can't be used on himself yet, Jiang Feng hasn't married a wife yet, he can't marry Jiang Feng, and a flat wife can only marry after marrying a wife, but a concubine can be accepted first.

"That's what he said, he wants to come to visit the eldest and second misses. The maidservant added.

"Oh?" Xu Ning was even more surprised, wanting to see himself and Xiao Jing, what does this person mean?"

"The second lady has just come back and is still bathing. ”

"Then you go and invite the second lady over. ”

When Xu Jing came over with some doubts, she was also puzzled when she heard Xu Ning say this, "Sister, who is this person and what is the purpose?"

"I don't know, that's why I asked you to meet Sister A. Xu Ning said calmly.

"Is it suitable or not, do you need to talk to Master Cui and them?" Xu Jing was still a little unsure.

"I'm afraid that Master Cui also knows about it, and it is not forbidden, which means that it is nothing, and I will talk about it when we see it. ”

When Zheng Hong came to the hall, he saw two women sitting opposite each other.

The woman on the left is wearing a pale green long skirt, with a slightly constricted narrow collar and a slightly different open collar skirt that is now popular, a pair of half-sleeves draped over her body, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, her eyes are flowing but shining with a wise luster, and her slightly thin lips make this woman a little more shrewd.

The woman on the right knows that she is a sibling sister with the woman on the left from the shape of her face, but her cheeks are a little rounder, a little less sharp, a little more soft and warm, especially the eyes that are a little curious, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Zheng Hong has seen two ladies. ”

"Zheng Hong, but Lord Zheng of the Zheng clan in Shouzhou?" Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Even Zheng Hong didn't expect this woman to know about herself, and she was surprised, "It's Zheng, Ning Niangzi also knows the thin name of so-and-so?"

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Zheng is the pillar of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family can have today, and Lord Zheng has contributed a lot. Xu Ning pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Although the little woman is lonely and unheard, she still knows a little about her neighbors. ”

Zheng Hong couldn't help but admire a little, as an important figure among the three surnames in Shouzhou, he was no stranger to the Xu family in Gwangju.

Xu's Shuangshu is famous on Huainan Road, Huainan Road wants to marry Xu's Shuangshu There are many famous children, even Zheng's family, and later the Xu's eldest daughter Xu and Shuzhou Zhou's family also caused a lot of heated discussions, there are rumors that this is Xu's eldest daughter's own choice, and it caused a sensation, but then the situation changed suddenly, the Xu family collapsed, and Shuzhou Zhou's dissolution of the marriage contract,

I have long heard that this woman is quite knowledgeable, shrewd and wise, and now she really deserves her reputation.

"Ning Niangzi has a good reputation, and now the Zheng family is at a critical moment of life and death, so Zheng specially came to Huzhou for help, but he didn't expect Lord Assassin Shi to be there, so Zheng specially came to visit the two ladies and asked the Huzhou army to save the Zheng family from fire and water. Zheng Hong didn't spare the circle and went straight to the point.

"Oh, why did Lord Zheng say that? The ant thieves have left Shouzhou and headed south, and now is the time for the gentry and people of Shouzhou to work together to restore and rebuild, right?"

Xu Ning was surprised and happy in his heart, but he quickly restrained his emotions and tried to be as calm and indifferent as possible, only Xu Jing, who was sitting on the side, could understand his sister, and was overjoyed by Zheng Hong's words.

"Ning Niangzi probably also knows that Huoqiu was attacked by ant thieves, right? Our Zheng clan has suffered heavy losses, and now Huoqiu City is in ruins, and there is even more white land outside the city, and our Zheng clan's vitality has been greatly damaged, and only the little ancestral property in Shouchun City remains. Zheng Hong gritted his teeth, "That's it, but our Zheng family has two tigers and wolves in the same city, ready to devour our Zheng family at any time, so Zheng took the liberty to come to Huzhou to ask for help from the Huzhou army, hoping that the two ladies can help Zheng convince everyone in the Huzhou army to support the Zheng family."
