After Zhang Duo and Xu Gan received the news, they hurried to Chengde County.

Although many people know that Zhang Duo and Xu Gan are Zheng Bao's brothers-in-law, they still didn't dare to make a big splash when they came, after all, their identities are still somewhat controversial.

A few fast horses entered the dock fort, and Zheng Bao met his two righteous brothers in the side hall.

"Big brother, what's the important thing that you recruited me in such a hurry to come back?"

"Isn't it, the eldest brother decided to move south to Jiangdong with me and others?"

"Yes, big brother, I have discussed it with Yan Baihu, he just waits for us to arrive, and then he will give up the territory of Huiji County to us, when the time comes, we will cooperate with Yan Baihu, and the business on the Yangtze River will not be pulled down, after all, there is also the emperor of Tiangao, even if the court really wants to deal with us, it is not so easy."

"It's a big deal, let's get on the boat and go directly to the sea, no matter how powerful the court is, when we get to the sea, it's still our world!"

Zhang Duo and Xu Gan said a word, and the head of what they said was the Tao, and the plan to move south was exactly what the two of them instigated Zheng Bao.

When Zheng Bao received the news that Chen Ce was exterminated, he was a little scared, so he invited his two righteous brothers to come and discuss the next plan.

These two people have been begging for a living on the rivers all year round, and they are also licking blood on the knife, although they have not been afraid of being exterminated by the imperial court, they are not completely indifferent.

So they had already thought of a way back, and when the imperial court really wanted to deal with them, they would have a big deal to flee overseas.

The people who did their business not only had ships under them, but also had already inquired about the nearby transportation arteries.

Through the merchants who come and go, they can also learn all kinds of news at the first time, such as going to sea from the big river, going straight down the ocean, you can reach Jiaozhou, and even farther places, there are possibilities, and there are some places that are not under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

It is said that a few decades ago, there was also the Yamatai Kingdom, which once passed through the ocean and reached the Han Dynasty, and these water thieves were all Menqing, anyway, the big deal was that there was a way out, so they dared to be so unscrupulous.

Looking at his two righteous brothers, who were so anxious, Zheng Bao was not so nervous, on the contrary, after two days of careful consideration, Zheng Bao thought more and more clearly.

When it is absolutely necessary, he is naturally unwilling to take his family to go overseas, if he can stay in the place where his ancestors have lived for generations, who wants to go to that day of wandering outside.

"Two younger brothers, yes or no, this time I asked you to come back, we have a new way to go."

Zheng Bao slowed down his speech and said a word to Zhang Duo and Xu Gan with a calm look.

"New way, what's going on with big brother?"

The two of them looked a little better at this time, waiting for Zheng Bao to continue to speak.

"You two, do you know that Yuan Yao is such a number one person?"

Zheng Bao did not explain directly, but asked the two younger brothers a word.

The two of them frowned when they heard Zheng Bao's words, but they still thought about this person quickly.

Yuan Yao's name in the last two months.

It is still relatively well-known in the Huainan area, so as soon as Zheng Bao said these two, he immediately nodded.

"Naturally, I know, isn't it the son of Yuan Shu, I heard that Chen Ce, who was exterminated before, was the result of the soldiers and horses led by this person."

"Yes, I also heard that not long ago, this person fought with Cao Cao's army in Zhu County, and actually blocked Cao Cao, and the army of 30,000 lasted for half a month."

The two of them briefly said what they knew about Yuan Yao.

Zheng Bao saw that the two knew each other so well, so there was no need to tell them more about Yuan Yao in detail.

"Since the two younger brothers know this person, then I don't need to bother with my brother, this person came here two days ago and came to visit."

As soon as Zheng Bao said this, his face immediately changed, and he immediately asked.

"Huh? Big brother, this person is here to look for you, what is the so-called? Didn't he come on behalf of the imperial court and wanted to exterminate me? ”

Zhang Duo opened his mouth to ask, he has never had a good impression of the imperial court, and the imperial court has repeatedly encircled and suppressed these water thieves before, although it did not really hurt the people under his command, but he is always a little annoyed when he says too much.

"No, quite the opposite. Far from coming to exterminate us on behalf of the imperial court, this person wanted to recruit us. ”

"Zhao'an?!"

Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's faces became even more surprised.

"Not bad."

At that moment, Zheng Bao briefly described the process of Yuan Yao's visit that day to Zhang Duoxugan.

After listening to this, the two of them fell into contemplation like Zheng Bao for a while.

They are all thinking about Yuan Yao's so-called Zhao'an, how true and how false is it? Or Zhao'an, what kind of advantages and disadvantages do they have?

If the harm outweighs the good, they may not accept it.

Zheng Bao was not in a hurry, watching his two younger brothers fall into deep thought, he didn't rush to speak, let them think about this matter clearly first.

After a while, Zhang Duo asked Zheng Bao first.

"What does Big Brother think about this?"

Although Zhang Duo has an idea in his heart, as the second eldest of the three, he naturally still has to focus on the eldest brother Zheng Bao, so he wants to hear how Zheng Bao decides first.

As soon as he said this, Xu Gan on the side also looked at Zheng Bao.

"If you can stay in Huainan, who wants to do those moves to leave your hometown."

Although Zheng Bao did not directly agree, such a sentence has already indicated his attitude.

In this way, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan also understood what Zheng Bao was discussing when he asked them to come back.

"Big brother wants to promise that Yuan Yao?"

"There is indeed a bit of intention, what Yuan Yao said is good, Zhao'an is a good way, but he is a little true, will it be clear that Zhao'an, but in fact, it is to exterminate us?"

Zhang Duo and Xu Gan also thought a little, if they can become the regular army of the imperial court, who would want to be a water thief, being able to be a water thief is also a last resort in the troubled times, and now that they have the opportunity to become regular, they will naturally have ideas.

It's just that they are all thieves, and they all have some lives on their hands, if Yuan Yao pretends to recruit An, but in fact they are eliminated, then their end will be miserable.

This is also something that Zheng Bao has been thinking about.

"I think that I should really want to recruit us, not long ago Yuan Shu's war in Huaibei was unfavorable, and the soldiers were lost, and now Yuan Shu is the time to use people."

"Zhao'an and I will be able to enhance Yuan Shu's strength, there is no need for him to attack us."

"What's more, the conditions put forward by Yuan Yao are not very generous, if they want to pretend to recruit An, they can promise us more benefits and trick us into agreeing."

Zheng Bao is still smart, he can analyze some things and find out that most of this matter is true.
