Chapter 45: Their Secret Conversations
"Mr. Zhou should know that now Zhonglang will sit on the four counties of Hedong, Shangdang, Yanmen, and Taiyuan, and also control the other surrounding counties......
Zhou Ping nodded, under Zhang Yan's hands, these things must be known.
“…… With such a large territory, if it is judged by oil and water, there are naturally more or less, and our Puban, Hedong, is the so-called place with less oil and water. ”
"How so? I should be okay if I look good? ”
The meeting has just begun, and looking at the bandit leaders who attended the meeting, they don't look like poor people.
"If you look at the monthly money paid, the surrounding area of this Agasaka is naturally considered rich, but if you only talk about this Agasaka city, then it is not the same thing......"
Niu Hong didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but Zhou Ping had already understood what he meant-the land below is rich and rich, but as far as the Puban City where he is located is concerned, it should still be poor.
"So Commander Niu wants me to say a few kind words for you in front of Mr. Gongsun and help you transfer from this place?"
"Sir, clever."
Niu Hong smiled a little embarrassedly and toasted Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping couldn't help Niu Hong transfer out of here, although Zhou Ping could respond temporarily, but after realizing that Niu Hong was not completely loyal to Zhang Yan, Zhou Ping already had other ideas in his heart.
He didn't take Niu Hong's toast, but poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
"Sir, this is ...... Unwilling? ”
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my relationship with Mr. Gongsun is a little delicate, and it is an accident for Commander Niu to notice it, and if there are branches, it will be a little unfavorable to me and Mr. Gongsun......"
Seeing the disappointment on Niu Hong's face, Zhou Ping continued.
"However, if the Commander Niu wants to change the territory, it is nothing more than seeking wealth, and for seeking wealth, the way is not only to change the territory......"
Zhou Ping didn't realize it at all, and his expression at this time was simply writing a few words on his face as an instigator.
"Sir is ...... mean"
"Cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
"Exactly, you are responsible for dealing with General Zhonglang, and I am responsible for expanding the power, while General Zhonglang will attack Yuan Shao, let's make a lot of money from him!"
Zhou Ping thought that his suggestion was attractive enough, but he didn't expect to hear Zhou Ping's suggestion, but Niu Hong looked disdainful and snorted.
"I thought Mr. had any good ideas, if Mr. only had these, then please go back."
"How?"
Could it be that this Niu Hong is more loyal to Zhang Yan than Zhou Ping imagined, and he can't see the forces below growing?
"Regardless of other places for the time being, let's just say that in the mountainous area to the south of Mr. Zhou, the other three groups have also proposed cooperation to me, and I have agreed, but you see these four families, except for Yu Dabao to help Zhonglang General fight, the other ones are not all good! If Mr. Zhou wants to cooperate, then at least he must have the corresponding strength! ”
It's not that Niu Hong is loyal to Zhang Yan, but he has encountered a lot of this kind of collusion, but in the end, no one has annexed others, but he was deceived and afraid.
It means that if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, right? Zhou Ping pursed his lips, he looked at Niu Hong again, stretched out his hand, but his fingertips were shining with lightning.
"Commander Niu, what do you think of this?"
"This ......"
Niu Hong showed a little consternation, but this consternation was quickly replaced by disdain, only to see that he also stretched out his hand, rubbing his fingers, but a few sparks came out.
"It's not just Mr. Zhou who has inexplicably learned the magic in the past two months, not to mention me, there are probably one or two other bandit leaders like Mr. Zhou, not to mention our Zhonglang generals, and they have specially gathered such a group of people to form a battalion on their own."
Co-authored, we are serious and well-trained strategists as those quasi-military generals and quasi-strategists, right?
"Liu Scareye, close the door."
With a little resentment, Zhou Ping ordered Liu Scareye beside him, Liu Scareye went quickly, while Zhou Ping looked at Niu Hong again.
"Commander Ox, what about this?"
As he spoke, a touch of gold under Zhou Ping's eyes gradually became clear, his hair stood up due to ionization, even Niu Hong could feel a powerful energy gathering around Zhou Ping with his vague sense of true qi.
"Mr. Zhou, ...... you are?"
"Up!"
At the sound of the command, countless thunderbolts rushed out from the cracks in the air in accordance with the command, and the thunderbolts filled this not small room in an instant; Golden snakes swam around the table where the two had been drinking and chatting happily, leaving scorched black marks; Zhou Ping himself was wrapped in thunder, like a mortal thunder god.
"Fall!"
However, in an instant, the thunder that seemed to explode the entire room dissipated, and only the scorched blackness of the four walls of the beams and the scorching smell in the air proved to Niu Hong that what had happened before was not an illusion.
"Commander Niu, is this also the so-called inexplicable spell?"
Looking at Niu Hong with a frightened face, Zhou Ping only felt a dark feeling in his heart.
Inexplicable magic? What kind of inexplicable spell is this, this is clearly a serious 800 strategist!
Niu Hong's gaze moved from the room to Zhou Ping, in addition to the horror that still existed, unconsciously, he looked at Zhou Ping with a little more awe.
With such ability, let alone a Kasaka, even the entire Hedong County, it is not under his words.
"Dare to ask...... Who is Mr. Zhou? ”
"Virtuous teacher, Zhou Ping."
……
It was not only Zhou Ping and Niu Hong who were plotting, but also in Pusaka City, another secret agent was also going on.
Sun Lu pointed out that Zhu Zhi, the two bandit leaders who had constant friction in the past, are now sitting together, and what allows them to sit down calmly is naturally in the greater interest.
On the rough map in front of the two, there were no mountains and rivers, only a few black spots that were regarded as villages, if Yu Dabao was there, he would definitely find that these villages were all on his territory.
"Brother Sun, you also know the situation of the elder brother, relying on the shadow of the ancestors is a little money, but the territory is not big, so the elder brothers of these villages don't want it, just give me this piece of mountain."
Saying that, Zhu Zhi drew a big circle, although he only fished two villages, but a large area of mountainous areas was drawn into it.
"Hmm...... Can ......"
Twisting his beard, Sun Luzhi nodded slightly in agreement, but when he looked at the map twice, his nodding head suddenly paused.
“…… Wrong! Brother Zhu, you're not kind! Although I didn't draw it on this map, I remember that there should be a mountain road here! ”
Sun Luzhi drew heavily on the map, which was the path of the mountain path in his mouth.
"Oh, oh, is that so, brother, I also know, haha, haha......"
Zhu Zhi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with some embarrassment, there are two main incomes for being a bandit, one is to collect protection fees for the villages in the territory, and the other is to rob pedestrians and merchants, and the mountain road is a traffic artery, how could he Zhu Zhi not know.
"Hmph...... It's no problem to allocate this piece of land to Brother Zhu, but I have to set up a card here for this mountain road! ”
Sun Lu pointed and knocked on the end of the mountain road.
"Hiss......"
Sun Lu pointed out that knock was undoubtedly knocked on the seven inches of the mountain road, if he really let him set up a card, then almost half of the mountain road was under his control.
“…… Also...... Okay......"
Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth a little and said, if it was another time, he would definitely not let this mountain road out, but at this time they still have greater cooperation, for the sake of that greater cooperation, he plans to endure it for the time being.
“…… Brother Sun, for the time being, it's time for us to talk about it. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Zhi's finger fell again, but this time his finger did not fall on the map, but on the outside of the map - if the map was extended, then the location of his finger was the camp of Zhou Ping and Liu Scaryan.
