Chapter 123: The Plan to Capture Danyang
Zhang Duo and Xu Gan heard their eldest brother say this, even if they still had objections, it was difficult to say it at the moment.
"Okay, big brother, since you said so, then let's believe that Yuan Yao."
"However, this matter can't be completely led by Yuan Yao's nose, although people outside know some of the relationship between the eldest brother and us, but there is nothing wrong, the eldest brother can be Zhao'an first, if it's okay, then let my two brothers take people to Yuan Yao."
Although the final result of the three discussions is that they can choose, I believe Yuan Yao. However, for the sake of safety, this matter has to be considered carefully.
Let Zheng Bao and his subordinate soldiers choose to take refuge with Yuan Yao first, and make sure that Yuan Yao's recruitment of them is a sincere move.
Then let Zheng Bao persuade the two water thief brothers to join Yuan Yao together, so that Zheng Bao's status in front of Yuan Yao can be greatly improved, and it can also make you Yuan Yao look at Zheng Bao.
In the face of Zhang Duo's proposal, Zheng Bao did not refuse.
After all, this matter is indeed very important, and the fate and future of the three of them are at stake.
The slightest carelessness will make the three of them work hard for more than ten years, and all of them will be buried, and even their lives will not be guaranteed.
So it's good to be cautious.
"What the second brother said is very true, so let's do what the second brother said."
"Tomorrow, Yuan Yao will visit again, after I have negotiated everything with him, I will wait for two months to see the situation, and then I will contact you."
"Then it's decided, I hope that Yuan Yao really wants to recruit us."
The three of them had a secret conversation and determined some details. Zhang Duoxu's people didn't stay here too much.
Left Zheng Bao's dock fort overnight and went back to their respective cottages.
Because the identities of the two have always been anti-thieves, if they are seen, it is still not good for Zheng Bao.
What's more, at this juncture, being seen by Yuan Yao's people is even more likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
The next day, Yuan Yao arrived as promised.
As agreed, he visited Zheng Bao again.
Today's Zheng Bao is also waiting for Yuan Yao's arrival here.
It's just that unlike the last time he was nervous, this time Zheng Bao had a smile on his face.
Once he was able to take refuge in the identity of Yuan Yao and Zheng Bao, he changed from a green forest hero to a regular army of the imperial court, and from then on, he could be regarded as entering the house.
What's more, Zheng Bao has always been very accurate in looking at people.
The reason why he chose to be willing to follow and take refuge in Yuan Yao. A large part of the reason is because he values Yuan Yao very much.
Because Yuan Yao's identity is not simple, he is the son of Yuan Shu, and at the same time, Yuan Yao's recent reputation in the Huainan region is too high.
Once Yuan Shu dies in the future, Yuan Yao has a great probability of ascending the throne and becoming emperor.
At that time, Zheng Bao and others will have the power of the dragon.
The third prince may not be able to do enough, but it should not be a problem to worship the marquis and live a life of a wife and a son.
"Childe, the villain has been waiting here for a long time."
Yuan Yao got off his horse and walked straight to Zheng Bao.
Seeing that Zheng Bao could stay here to greet him, he already had some guesses in his heart that the other party should make the right choice.
So he smiled at Zheng Bao and asked rhetorically.
"It seems that Uncle Zheng should have good news for me."
Since Zheng Bao has decided to take refuge in Yuan Yao, he naturally has nothing to hide at this moment.
It just so happened that Yuan Yao had already asked him a question, and he nodded in front of everyone.
"Childe kindly persuaded us to point out the future, if we are still obsessed, wouldn't it be a waste of Childe's kindness."
"What's more, having such an opportunity to follow Childe is also a blessing for us, and I am willing to contribute to Childe's great cause."
Zheng Bao immediately expressed his loyalty to Yuan Yao, and announced his allegiance to Yuan Yao in a few words.
Although Yuan Yao recruited him in the name of Yuan Shu, Zheng Bao did not think that he was loyal to Yuan Shu, on the contrary, in his heart, Yuan Shu was a little dim, and the young Yuan Yao made him respect him more.
is also more promising, only by following Yuan Yao can Zheng Bao gain the merit of being a dragon, and he can also have a broader future.
Yuan Yao was naturally able to comprehend this from Zheng Bao's words.
The purpose of his coming to recruit Zheng Bao was also to win over Zheng Bao for his own use, not to win over Zheng Bao and be summoned by Yuan Shu.
Both understood what the other meant, and the rest was simple.
Yuan Yao entered the dock fort and officially began to negotiate with Zheng Bao about the matter after Zhao'an.
Zheng Bao doesn't need to change anything, and he doesn't need to leave Chengde, because the Danyang Taishou who promised Zheng Bao has not yet been implemented at the moment, Danyang County is now occupied by Sun Ce's people, and if he wants to become Danyang Taishou, Zheng Bao needs to take Danyang by himself.
Yuan Yao also told Zheng Bao directly about this.
When Zheng Bao heard this, he didn't feel surprised or angry, because before this, he could think that after all, as a famous hero in Huainan, his news was not necessarily much behind Yuan Shu.
Fortunately, it is not impossible for him to take Danyang County, when Chen Yu wanted to backstab Sun Ce, he had contacted a large number of thieves and sect marshal in the Huainan region, and naturally Zheng Bao also received the news.
In the Jiangdong area, there are many thieves, all of whom have a bad relationship with Sun Ce, and even want to overthrow Sun Ce, claim the king and hegemony themselves, and want to seize Danyang, it is very simple, just need to unite with other thieves and make some trouble in Wu County and Huiji County, Sun Ce will inevitably take care of the end.
At that time, Sun Ce's forces would be mainly concentrated in Wu County and Huiji County, thus ignoring Danyang County.
As long as the garrison of Danyang County was insufficient, and Danyang was located on the border of Huainan, Zheng Bao could easily lead the bandits to break through the town and recapture most of the cities in Danyang.
Yuan Yao and Zheng Bao were surprised by Zheng Bao's clever plan, and immediately praised the case.
"Uncle Zheng, this plan is very good, if it is used, the chance of success will definitely not be small, if your troops are not enough, I can send troops to help you!"
Zheng Bao wanted to send troops to seize Danyang, which was a natural hundred consents for Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao was going to compete with Sun Ce.
Now that Zheng Bao is willing to be a pioneer and test Sun Ce's strength first, then Yuan Yao naturally agrees, and can even send troops to help.
Anyway, no matter what Zheng Bao's final battle is, it's all good news.
Zheng Bao's success in recapturing Danyang greatly weakened Sun Ce's strength, and if Danyang was not recaptured, Yuan Yao could also take the opportunity to see Sun Ce's ability, and at the same time consume some of Sun Ce's troops.
Yuan Yao can pass this matter and have a clearer judgment on Sun Ce's strength.
