Chapter 973: Patience

"Fuck it! Zhang's Mansion on the day of the dog really pinched Lao Tzu as a soft persimmon, right? ”

Chu Ze was so angry in the study that he slammed the table hard.

"Just a Zhang Mansion, how dare you provoke this king like this?!"

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops to arrest the traitors.

"Damn, if it weren't for the fact that the reinforcements hadn't arrived, this king would have ...... long ago"

Chu Ze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Taking bold action now is tantamount to startling a snake. Gotta hold on, hold on! ”

He silently admonished himself in his heart, and the anger on his face was slowly replaced by forbearance.

"The subordinates have already sent people to disperse those people, but they have not been arrested, they are afraid of ......" Zhao Si wanted to speak and stopped.

"Afraid of what?" Chu Ze asked.

"Let's blindly tolerate it like this, I'm afraid it will make the Zhang Mansion even more unscrupulous!" Zhao Si said worriedly.

"They must be unscrupulous now"

"Why doesn't this king understand this?" Chu Ze sighed.

"But now it's really hard for us to ride a tiger!"

"If you act rashly, I am afraid that it will startle the grass and snakes, which will backfire."

His brow furrowed, lost in thought.

"How many days will Li Xing's reinforcements arrive, how can these few days be good?"

Zhao Si looked at the master's embarrassed appearance, and he was also at a loss.

"Why don't we just surround Zhangfu first? Let's catch the thief and capture the king first, okay? He proposed.

"No way!" Chu Ze shook his head and said: "Our troops are weak now, and rashly sending troops will expose our hole cards." ”

"That'...... Let's just watch Zhang Fu do evil? Zhao Si was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Chu Ze sighed helplessly.

"In the past few days, you have to go to various villages and towns to try to calm the emotions of the people."

"Let them not be instigated by rumors, and believe that the court will definitely give them justice."

"No!" Zhao Si received the order and was about to retire.

Chu Ze stopped him again and said, "By the way, remember to keep a low profile, don't startle the snake!" ”

"Understood! Subordinates must be cautious! "Zhao Si should have given his hand.

Seeing Zhao Si away, Chu Ze walked around irritably in the study.

"Bastard! Lao Tzu really can't wait to pull out the heads of those traitors immediately! ”

He cursed hatefully, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

"Zhang Fu, you dog thieves, this king is not finished with you!"

"As soon as Li Xing's reinforcements arrive, see if this king doesn't uproot you!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth and swore an oath, hatred written all over his face.

On the other side, Zhang's house is in the middle.

"This Chu Ze can really endure it, but how long can he endure it?"

Zhang Hongru snorted coldly, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Dad, do you think that Chu Ze will perceive our true intentions?" The young master of the Zhang Mansion asked with some concern.

"Hmph, with his little knowledge, how can he see through the prince's strategy?" Zhang Hongru pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Besides, he is now trapped in the county seat, and even if he wants to, he can't do anything!"

"Dad, you are wise!" The young master of Zhangfu complimented: "Then what should we do next?" ”

Zhang Hongru narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.

"Keep sending people to spread rumors, don't give them a chance to breathe!"

"At the same time, secretly send more manpower and be ready to do it at any time."

"As soon as the time is ripe, let's immediately launch an attack and take the county seat in one fell swoop!"

"At that time, even if the imperial court sends troops to help, it will be too late!" Zhang Hongruzhi said proudly.

"Yes, Daddy! I'll arrange it! The young master of the Zhang Mansion excitedly agreed.

On this day, the scouts sent out to collect information finally sent back the news.

"Lord Wang, the scout reported that there were suspicious people gathered in several woods five miles outside the county seat."

Zhao Si reported in a deep voice, his expression solemn.

"How many are there? Who is it that can be detected? Chu Ze frowned.

"It is estimated by the subordinates that it should be the people and horses that the Zhang Mansion is secretly hiding."

"It's just that the number of people is estimated not to be very large, after all, this is still in the territory of Daming, and I am afraid that it is difficult to hide if there are too many people."

Chu Ze nodded and groaned slightly.

"It seems that the prince of Beiyuan came prepared, and he had already ambushed his manpower."

"Lord Wang, how should I deal with it now?" Zhao Si asked anxiously.

"Don't worry." Chu Ze said calmly: "Let's not act rashly first. ”

"Fengyang's reinforcements are still on the way, if you act rashly, you will inevitably startle the snake."

"But Lord Wang, if you delay like this any longer, if there is an incident in Zhangfu, and our reinforcements have not arrived, it will not be ......!"

Li Xing was a little worried, and always felt that something was not right.

"Okay, the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the position and not show flaws."

Chu Ze Zhengse said: "Everything will wait for reinforcements to arrive." ”

Chu Ze pondered the current situation carefully, his brows furrowed.

"Those traitors in Zhangfu, I don't know what they are thinking."

He was silently calculating in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Could it be that they want to spread rumors and provoke civil unrest?"

"Lord Wang, my subordinates also feel the same way." Zhao Si echoed.

"They are so stirring up rumors to spread rumors, I'm afraid they just want to cause panic."

Chu Ze nodded, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, they just want to muddy the waters so that they can take the opportunity to rebel!"

"But Lord Wang, how should we deal with it now?" Li Xing was worried.

"Wait." Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Although we still don't know their specific plans, as long as we try to calm the people's emotions and clarify the rumors in time, we will definitely be able to slow down Zhang's actions."

"My subordinates understand." Li Xing suddenly realized: "As long as the rumors don't stir up public anger, even if the Zhang Mansion has the intention to rebel, it will be difficult to succeed." ”

"Not bad." Chu Ze nodded approvingly.

"In addition, you have to send someone to secretly monitor the movements around the county seat, and if you find something wrong, report it to me immediately."

"No!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Ze was anxiously waiting for news from Li Xing.

"Why hasn't Li Xing moved yet? Could it be that something is wrong? ”

He paced up and down in his study, his heart growing more and more uneasy.

"Lord Wang! Li Xing has a letter! Zhao Sixing rushed in.

"Quick, show me." Chu Ze hurriedly took the letter.

"Lord Qi, the army will arrive in the county seat in two days, and please prepare for the reinforcements!"

"Hahaha! That's great! Chu Ze was overjoyed and excitedly threw the letter on the table.

"Li Xing's work is really reliable! With this support army, see if this king doesn't take the lair of the traitors in Zhangfu! ”

Zhao Si saw that his master was smiling from ear to ear, and he also smirked.

"The prince is wise! When the time comes, we will be able to annihilate those traitors in one fell swoop! ”

Chu Ze patted Zhao Si's shoulder heavily.

"Okay, continue to endure for two days, and when the reinforcements arrive, exterminate the rebels of Zhangfu!" (End of chapter)
