c_t; In Yingxiu's prediction, even if he asked the team to go to Zhao County from a relatively safe road, I am afraid that there will be some "accidents". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info (advertisement)

But to the surprise of Yingxiu and others, that is, when Wang Kuang escorted the team to Kong Yan's mansion, there were no accidents.

Yingxiu, who knew such a news, couldn't help but admire Wang Mang's forbearance in her heart. But since the other party has no intention of breaking such an arrangement, then many things must be continued.

Wang Kuang's 300 guards, although they were basically personnel from the Zhonglang Legion. But before leaving, Wang Kuang received the corresponding order, that is, in addition to the 100 people who originally belonged to him, let him lead two other 100 teams of other formations for unified command.

Most of the personnel of these two 100-man teams are the private armed forces headed by the Zhang family in Xianyang.

The most important thing for these people to go to Kong Yan's home is to enhance the strength of Kong Yan's command.

Perhaps in terms of the strength of these people, they are strong in individual combat, but they are not very good at coordinating with each other. After all, these people did not know each other in the first place, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to talk about mutual cooperation in this regard.

And letting them go to Kong Yan's command was just a pretense that Zhang Yuan came up with. After all, Wang Mang and the Wang family are not stupid, and it is impossible to hide the eyes and ears of Wang Mang and the Wang family with this arrangement.

As for Zhang Yuan's backhand, Zhang Yuan, who was far away in Xianyang New Town, looked at an area of Taihang Mountain bordering Zhao County at this time, and showed a smile.

Because this is where Zhang Yuan's real foreshadowing lies.

As for Kong Yan and those sent to support, they were just a pawn for Zhang Yuan to confuse the Wang family.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Time passed quickly, and when September 28 AD arrived, Guo Shengtong, who had officially entered the greeting step after a long period of negotiations, also took his team to the Guanzhong area under the escort of another Zhonglang army.

And just when many forces were attracted by this matter, in a valley in the southeast of Taihang Mountain, a group of troops dressed in civilian clothes but with quite well-armed weapons were storming a bandit cottage that had been found to be supported by the Wang family.

This is also the moment when the real foreshadowing in Zhang Yuan's series of arrangements begins to be launched.

The number of bandits in this cottage reached more than 400, not even including some people who were incapable of fighting. But the overall strength of these bandits is not strong, after the gate was successfully attacked and captured by a dozen good hands, hundreds of good hands behind them entered the inside of the cottage from the gate.

These good men showed no mercy, because they were commanded to leave no one in sight.

These skilled soldiers also had undergone quite strict military training, and if it weren't for the fact that they were not from the regular army, they would probably be able to effectively fight against the Qin army's inland county troops, which were about three times their number. After all, there is still a partial equipment gap between the two sides.

For example, in the hands of these masters, there are no crossbow-level weapons that are listed as forbidden to be exported, and only a small number of masters can distribute chain mail that is quite difficult to make. [A lot of good novels]

And even a soldier of the Qin army who is in charge of logistics has an iron armor as an armor to protect his body, so in this regard, these good hands still have a lot of gaps in the face of the regular army of the Qin army.

Of course, if it is one-on-one, it is also nearly impossible for these Qin army soldiers to solve these good hands. Because these good hands have quite rich combat experience, they are not comparable to the soldiers of the Qin army who have basically not fought on the battlefield.

......

And after this cottage was broken through the defenses of many areas by these good hands, the remnants of this group of bandits tried to rely on the cottage's big house to resist stubbornly. But what they didn't expect was that these people who attacked them actually knew where the secret passage of their cottage was.

After sneaking into the big house through the secret passage, more than a dozen rangers who came out of the secret passage took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people in the big house and easily solved the thief head of this cottage.

After cutting off the head of the thief with the sword in his hand, a ranger roared, "Those who surrender will not die!"

The remaining dozen or so bandits who heard this sentence looked at each other for a while before accepting the development of this situation.

No one knows what will happen to these bandits, but for these people who have invaded the cottage, their task of capturing the cottage can be said to have been completed quite perfectly.

Naturally, they don't plan to eat black, but hope to use this cottage to hide the traces of more good hands who are ready to come.

This is Zhang Yuan's real plan, once the matter is launched, then these good hands lurking in this cottage can also rely on the disguise of some personnel in this cottage to make the Wang family lose their vigilance.

After all, this cottage was supported by the Wang family itself and used to control the resources of this area.

Maybe the Wang family doesn't need to do this kind of thing that can be regarded as covering their ears and stealing the bell, but there is no doubt that if they really dare to be blatant, then they will not gradually become the number one clan in Zhao County like this.

Using the way of others and governing their bodies is the method that Zhang Yuan came up with.

Of course, Zhang Yuan ordered to kill all the people in this cottage, and he didn't think that such an arrangement would make the Wang family vigilant. After all, from some of the information obtained before, the personnel of these cottages also have regular contact with the Wang family. If the other party sees the flaws in the corresponding contact, this point can be said to be of no benefit to Zhang Yuan's arrangement.

But Zhang Yuan is not the kind of person who acts rashly without corresponding preparation, and after getting the rules of regular contact between the two, Zhang Yuan made such a plan to deal with the next action;

And he also knew one thing that dealing with the Wang family, a big family with great vitality, could not directly and completely solve the other party by relying on this method alone.

Yingxiu also knew this, so he asked the Zhang family's family to cooperate with them in an operation.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Zhang Fan, as the head of the Zhang family, is the ancestor of Zhang Jiashi and Yu Miaoyi's second son, Zhang Lin.

With the help of the Yu family, the Huiji Zhang family soon became a strong family in the Jiangdong area.

And the current Jia Zhangfan also served as the commander of the East China Sea Navy of the Great Qin Empire.

What Yingxiu asked Zhang Fan to assist him in was to let the troops of the East China Sea Navy assist Dou Rong, who was trapped in Jimo, and break through the encirclement and blockade brought by the Wang family to the Jimo region.

It can be said that such a request made Zhang Fan feel a little helpless. After all, if such an order is issued by edict, I am afraid that the whole world will know what it is all about. In terms of personal feelings, his situation with Yingxiu can be said to be unworthy for Yingxiu.

It's just that no matter what, under the premise of Yingxiu's request and Zhang Yuan, the sect leader of the Zhang family, who also has corresponding instructions, Zhang Fan knows how he should choose.

On September 13, Zhang Fan personally commanded the East China Sea Navy and went north from the main base in Huxian.

The main force of the East China Sea Navy, under the guise of training at sea, arrived a day later in an area not far from the Jimo coast.

He did not attack the Wang family's fleet directly, but took a roundabout way to trap the Wang family's fleet in the sea area outside Jimo.

With this arrangement, the Wang family's ships naturally saw it very clearly. But what the person in charge of this fleet did not know was that Zhang Fan had earlier sent two marines to land on a beachhead about 30 miles southeast of the Jimo region, and lurked near several ports built by the Wang family temporarily.

The task of these men is to seize the two ports in the event of a conflict on the sea.

And Zhang Fan is waiting for Dou Rong's reaction before making the next move.

Although there is no corresponding connection between Zhang Fan and Dou Rong, this does not mean that Zhang Fan does not know that Dou Rong has a certain ability. After all, from the information Zhang Fan knew, Dou Rong could be regarded as a rather outstanding official.

Therefore, Zhang Fan thinks that Dou Rong will not be indifferent after seeing the appearance of the Imperial Navy.

As for why Zhang Fan didn't plan to directly attack the Wang family's fleet at the beginning, the main reason was that he didn't want to end up with a bad reputation, such as privately leading the naval fleet and attacking the civilian ships of the Great Qin Empire.

......

And just as Zhang Fan judged, after discovering that the Imperial Navy was coming, Dou Rong sent several ships that remained in the port of Jimo City to advance in the direction of the Imperial Navy.

When the commander of the Wang family's fleet found out about this situation, he knew that he was in big trouble right now.

Because if he wants his ships to attack the ships in Jimo City at the moment, he will inevitably be interfered with by the Imperial Navy, or even let the other party launch an offensive.

Although the Wang family's fleet is not considered a vulnerable existence, they are really not enough to confront the main force of an imperial naval fleet.

But God knows what these ships are carrying, and it would not be a good thing to let the other side join the Imperial Navy.

Therefore, the commander of this Wang family's fleet decided to take a risk.

More than a dozen ships of the Wang family rushed towards the ships facing the opposite side, intending to control these ships or sink them directly when the Imperial Navy did not react.

But how could Zhang Fan let this thing succeed?

After discovering the dynamics of the Wang family's fleet, Zhang Fan quickly made a decision and let several faster assault warships under his command rush to the Jimo area.

In front of these warships, several flag-bearers used signal flags to signal the Wang family's ships to stop, otherwise they would directly attack the Wang family's ships.

After learning about this incident, the commander of the Wang family's fleet did not pay too much attention to the warnings of the Imperial Navy, but ordered the corresponding ships to speed up their actions.

But what he did not expect was that the ships of the Imperial Navy, although they were not attacking them immediately, were giving orders that they could attack at any time.

After all, for the Wang family's fleet, they didn't know that the appearance of this fleet was actually a conspiracy arrangement.

Although several of the Imperial Navy's assault warships were restrained, after seeing the Wang family's large ship knock over a small fishing boat, those assault warships also launched an attack.

In the stunned eyes of more and more people in the Wang family's fleet, rows of bed crossbows that had been ignited from the assault warship flew towards them.

Although the shooting accuracy of a bed crossbow of several hundred meters is quite poor in this environment, many of the ships of the Wang family are relatively large, and they also lack the corresponding athletic ability. Therefore, after a few rows of crossbows fell, the sails and hulls of many Wang family ships were shot by the lit bed crossbows.

Of course, there were also a few unlucky guys who were shot directly, screaming and rolling on the deck of the ship or even dying.

The commander of the Wang family's fleet was dumbfounded, because he really didn't expect the other party to really attack.

This made him lose his judgment and the ability to think about how to deal with the next step for a while.

Because he understands one thing very well, that is, just relying on these ships is like fighting against the main force of a naval fleet of the Great Qin Empire, it is better to wash and sleep.

It's just that the commander of this Wang family's fleet is also a ruthless person, since the other party has already launched an attack, then he might as well simply deal with those small ships first, and then fight the commander of the Imperial Navy.

Unfortunately, before he could give the order to let the ships under his command do so, the smoke slowly rising from the two ports suddenly overwhelmed him. Because this smoke can be said to be a clear sign of the attack on those two temporary ports.

And such a situation means that the Imperial Navy has long been prepared to deal with their actions.

Because in the case of these two ports, they did not have the approval of the corresponding district governors, but belonged to the ports that were built privately.

Once such a situation is discovered by the Imperial Navy, it will also be dealt with as a felony.

It can be said that even if the Marines of the Imperial Navy kill all the personnel in the two ports, as long as the personnel of the two ports are involved in trade and transportation, then it must be the best excuse.

It can be said that these two ports happen to be such examples. Even though these two ports are not used for trade. However, in the Jimo region, these two ports also did not have the approval of Dou Rong, the defender of Jimo City, and even if the Imperial Navy used drastic means to solve it, no one would find it inappropriate.
