The river rushes, the murky water rushes down, collides with each other, and waves in rows, but for those who often walk on the river, such rushing water is just a daily routine, whether it is a big boat or a small boat, they can maneuver it freely.

"Be careful! Look to the side! ”

On the wharf on the bank of the river, the horse vigorously climbed on a high flagpole, he held the flagpole in his hand, and stepped on the thick hemp rope that was densely wound on the flagpole, and the whole person hung diagonally, although the outsiders looked very dangerous, but from his shouting it could be heard that he was not half timid.

Although Zhou Ping has always wanted to restore the normal function of Tongguan Wharf as a wharf, and Ma Dali has also done so, Tongguan Wharf has always been in a state of unstoppable: most of the ships welcomed by Tongguan Wharf come from Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong has been tossed by Li and Guo Yan to the people's livelihood, and a single Tongguan Wharf to restore order cannot support this section of the Yellow River's transportation business.

However, today's Tongguan Wharf is much more lively than usual, not because of any big business, but because Zhou Ping came to order.

"Brother Ma!"

Zhu Peng's voice came, and Ma Dali followed the sound to look, that Zhu Peng was looking up at himself under the flagpole, and not far behind him, hundreds of soldiers lined up in a neat queue, and the specific combat effectiveness was not known, but it looked like at least it could calm people.

"Yo, Brother Zhu, here!"

Ma vigorously slipped down the flagpole, he wiped the handle with the corner of his clothes, and then patted Zhu Peng's shoulder.

"Hmm."

Zhu Peng nodded, he looked not far away, more than a dozen boats of all sizes were parked on the trestle of the pier, seemingly disordered, but in fact orderly.

"So many ships, Brother Ma, you are so angry."

Zhu Peng praised, but it was three compliments and seven points sincerely, although these dozen ships were not many, but since he joined the army, it was the first time he had seen so many ships.

"Haha, it's just a little meaning, come, Brother Zhu, follow me to take a look!"

As he spoke, Ma Dali grabbed Zhu Peng and led him to the dock. Half a year ago, none of these two people could have imagined that the friendship between them would be so good.

Standing at the end of the trestle, blowing the clear river breeze, Zhu Peng only felt relaxed, he looked at the opposite side of the river, this time the weather was sunny, just enough to see the faint outline of the pier opposite.

"That's Fenglingdu."

"Well, there it is."

Ma nodded vigorously, whether he mobilized the boats or Zhu Peng brought people over, their ultimate goal was only one, which was to occupy Fenglingdu on the other side of the river.

This Fenglingdu is a small ferry in Hebei County, there were some merchants in the past, but with the turmoil of the troubled times and the control of Hebei County by the Wang family, this small ferry only has the figure of armed domestic servants, in fact, there should still be some fishermen, but at this time it is the handover of late autumn and early winter, although the snow has not yet fallen, but there is no harvest worth looking forward to.

However, for Zhou Ping, this Fengling ferry is far more than an ordinary fishing boat ferry, this small ferry is also a key node from Tongguan to Hebei City, only by occupying this ferry, the passage between Tongguan and Hebei County can be officially opened.

Are you sure?

Zhu Peng turned his head to look at Ma Dali, and saw that the short and strong man's face was full of spirit, and the question that came to his mouth was still swallowed by him.

These people at the dock have been vigorously trained by horses for so long, and they often go to the stubble of the river thieves on weekdays, and there must be no problem in capturing a small dock that is almost deserted.

……

Just when Ma Dali from Tongguan Wharf handed over to Zhu Peng, another group of people had already embarked on the journey. In the cottage of Zhouping in Pubanshan District, Diao Chan tiptoed at the door of the village and looked into the distance, although the veil covered his face, but the worry was only enough to see from the exposed eyes.

In the distance, the scorched black from the thunder and lightning a few days ago was still there, and it was obvious that the earth's self-healing would take more time, but it was a thick pad of flesh stepping on the scorched black, catalyzing the process—the half-human, half-tiger soldiers of the Hundred Beast Battalion took the lead as scouts, and they scattered into the mountains and forests, alertly searching for possible other eyeliners.

And those who followed the footprints of the soldiers of the Hundred Beast Battalion were those normal soldiers under Zhou Ping. Leaders of all sizes, including Liu Scaryan, rode back and forth on horseback, maintaining order and guarding the small carriages clustered among the soldiers.

Naturally, it was Zhou Ping in the carriage, and in addition to Zhou Ping, the old man of the Wang family was also in the car, although there were no shackles on his hands, but the fear of the old man of the Wang family when he looked at Zhou Ping has never changed.

This time on the expedition to a neighboring county, anyone can be replaced, but this old man who was easily captured by Zhou Ping can't be left out. According to the information given by this master, he is the head of the Wang family in Hebei County, and all the affairs of the clan are under his control.

But according to Zhou Ping's judgment, even if this cowardly and weak lord is the so-called head of the family, it is very likely that he is a master of the house, but even so, it is necessary for Zhou Ping to bring this lord - for the current era, although it is not impossible to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, it must take a lot of effort to implement, and Zhou Ping, who is surrounded by enemies, obviously does not have so much time to carry out this far-reaching reform, so he needs this lord to help him stabilize the post-war situation- If this old man is really set aside, then this puppet can also be used by him.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhou Ping really stumbled in the capture of Hebei, with this old man in his hand, he could minimize the loss.

Seeing Zhou Ping staring at himself with a smile, the old man of the Wang family only felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat, although Zhou Ping looked much younger than himself, but just with the other party's ability to call for wind and thunder, it was enough to fold the gap in age.

"Virtuous ...... Virtuous Teacher ......"

It must be rude to call him by name, in fact, even the name of the virtuous teacher is only known by the old man of the Wang family, although Zhou Ping has given him good food and drink in the past few days, but the prisoner is still imprisoned, and the old man has not many opportunities to contact the outside world.

"Huh? What's the matter with Master Wang? ”

Looking at the cowardly appearance of the master of the Wang family, Zhou Ping sighed a little in his heart, it would be nice if that Zhu Zhi was also the same straw bag as this master, but it is a pity that the head of the clan who was a thief is still secretly making some small moves, if it weren't for Dong Bai's presence, maybe he would really set off some waves.

"Let's ...... Where are we going......"

Hearing the old man of the Wang family ask, Zhou Ping smiled, he lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, his eyes seemed to pass through the mountains, as well as the plains behind the mountains, and fell on a certain city.

"I'll send you home."
