"Virtuous teacher, please look, this is our map of Pusaka, this is the Pusaka City where we are located, here is Pusakajin, which is more than ten miles away from the city, and as for the territory of the virtuous teacher, it is here."

Looking at the map, Niu Hong pointed out and helped Zhou Ping introduce the terrain. After all, he is seriously managing Puban City, and the map on Niu Hong's side is far more detailed and accurate than the map in Zhou Ping's cottage, and Zhou Ping can even understand his own map, let alone understand this map.

"Most of the river thieves in Pubanjin are river thieves, most of those river thieves only operate on the water for a living, and they are not very interested in things on the shore, even if the Qiang Hu on the other side of the river covet our side, and they can't get by without a good handlebar, so Pubanjin doesn't need a virtuous teacher here, just a few subordinates here."

"Hmm."

Zhou Ping nodded, and as he listened, he secretly jotted down many details on this map. Regardless of the era, maps are very important information, and if you don't seize this opportunity to remember more, you will be sorry for the hard work of traveling so far.

"So what we have to guard against is the many landlords Zhuang clan in the east and north of Pusaka, although they seem to occupy only one village in general, but in fact, after the operation of their ancestors for generations, each of them has a lot of capital in their hands, and these Zhuang clans are secretly quite closely connected, most of them have blood or in-law relations, and when there is a difficulty, it is a plate of loose sand, but once it is profitable, they are very easy to cling together."

"Indeed......"

Zhou Ping agreed, whether it can be clenched together for the time being, but he has seen the family background of these Zhuang families, whether it is Zhu Zhi, who has become big, or a few small families who have recently taken refuge in themselves, the family background is not ordinarily solid, if it is turned into money together with real estate such as fields, two or three families together can buy a Puban City.

“…… So beware of them, Commander Niu, how many people do you think is better? ”

"If you let me estimate it, three hundred ordinary soldiers should be enough."

Hearing Niu Hong's offer, Zhou Ping and Liu Scar's eyes glanced at each other, and nodded lightly together, according to the two of them before, it was almost this number, this Niu Hong neither asked for more nor less, at least from this point of view, he was still sincere.

"In that case, in order to ensure that this Puban City is foolproof, in addition to these three hundred people, we will add another hundred people to you, and send a deputy to help Commander Niu mediate in the center."

This is what Liu Scareye said, and the division of labor between the two is like this, for Zhou Ping, who is easy to speak, it is Liu Scaryan's task that is difficult to speak.

"This ......"

This condition is indeed a bit excessive, although it seems that a hundred more people have been added, but the key point is in the so-called adjutant general who is in the middle of the mediation, Niu Hong said very clearly before, just borrowing troops from Zhou Ping, and adding this deputy general, it is not a borrowed army, but directly let Zhou Ping send people into the city. But this is how it is to bargain, even if the other party's offer is sincere, you have to open your mouth on your side.

“…… The virtuous master has recently expanded his territory, and his subordinates must be short of manpower, but beware of those with ulterior motives, and there is no need for the virtuous master to send a deputy general. ”

"Commander Niu's words are wrong, we can make a living here, relying on Commander Niu sitting in this Puban City, so even if we are wary of others, we must take it seriously."

Although the words were polite, the meaning of Liu Scar's words was not polite at all. Zhou Ping glanced at Liu Scaryan quietly, this was a little different from what the two of them had talked about before, and the deputy general who came over was just a temptation, but listening to Liu Scaryan's tone, it seemed that he wanted to finalize this matter.

"That's right...... Commander Liu is indeed reasonable, it is a matter of Pusaka's safety, and it is indeed impossible to be too careful. But there is one more thing I would like to ask, if it is difficult for me and the deputy general to agree in the future, how should this difference be handled? ”

This is just nonsense, it is nothing more than that Niu Hong has agreed to Zhou Ping to send his deputy general over and find a step for himself to go down.

"Don't worry, such things will not happen, since it is a borrowed army, then everything will naturally be decided by the ox commander."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhou Ping always felt that after he spoke, Niu Hong seemed to be relieved, as if his purpose was to ask Zhou Ping to say this.

"That's fine...... Since this is the case, then I will not leave a virtuous teacher and Liu Commander, and ask the two of them to go back and send people over as soon as possible. ”

"That's true, then we'll take our leave, and I'll deliver the manpower as soon as possible!"

……

The carriage shook gently, and with this shaking, Zhou Ping recalled the conversation with Niu Hong just now, and it was not until he was more than a mile out that Zhou Ping suddenly reacted.

Before, I thought that the key point was whether to send a deputy general over, whether to restrain Niu Hong, but Niu Hong thought about it a layer deeper than himself, but now that I think about it, the key point in this matter is not whether I send a deputy general, but whether Zhang Yan is dead or not.

If Zhang Yan hadn't died, in fact, it didn't make much sense whether he sent a deputy general over or not, and when the chaos caused by the defeat subsided, Niu Hong's lost manpower would definitely be replenished from Zhang Yan's side, and these people from Zhang Luo would definitely have to go back obediently, and Niu Hong would still be able to be the commander of this Puban City.

If Zhang Yan died, it didn't make much sense to send his deputy general. Without Zhang Yan, Niu Hong, who only has these 100 or so people in his hands, will definitely not be able to sit firmly in this Puban City, and in the end, whether he sends people or not, this Puban City is his own. And with the previous agreement with Niu Hong, Zhou Ping couldn't kick Niu Hong away, so Niu Hong would continue to be the leader of this Puban City.

As for Niu Hong, whether it is under Zhang Yan or himself, he can be the commander of Pubancheng, and it can indeed be called drought and flood protection.

"Oops!"

Explaining what he thought to Liu Scaryan one by one, Zhou Ping always thought that Zhang Yan was not dead, so there was not much fluctuation between words, but Liu Scaryan clapped his hands fiercely when he heard it, and his face was full of regret.

"This Niu Hong is really calculating, he directly borrowed troops from us, it seems to show weakness, but it is to divert our attention, but in fact, there are other plans, so thinking about it, we are indeed put together."

Liu Scaryan does not have Zhou Ping's history, thinking that things must be based on the idea of benefiting herself, in her place, Pubancheng is already on her side, but this position of commander has been booked.

"You don't have to worry too much, he has his plan in advance, and we also have our preemptive strike, if you only send an ordinary leader over, things will naturally develop as he expected, but if the person sent is unusual, then you can't help him."

comforted Liu Scaryan for a few words, but Zhou Ping already had a countermeasure here, he lifted the curtain and looked out the window, no matter whether Zhang Yan was dead or not, since the other party gave him this opportunity to get involved in Pusaka City, he had to seize it fiercely!
