Culprits!

Zheng Yi was taken aback, hurriedly stopped the carriage and horses, and ordered the family soldiers to guard the guard.

"I have 200 soldiers, and thieves dare to rob the road, this is confidence."

"There are three roads leading to Xixian County, to the left, the road is rugged and easy to ambush, and to the right, although the trip is twice as long, it is not easy to ambush."

"Hmmm......"

Zheng Ping pondered for a moment, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"Brother, at the intersection ahead, choose the right." Zheng Ping didn't panic and beckoned Zheng Yi to change direction.

Zheng Yi hesitated: "Conspiracy, thieves and soldiers are ambushing, presumably they are greedy for money, just allow them some money." ”

"If you choose to go right, the itinerary is nearly doubled, so why bother?"

Thieves and soldiers rob the road, often bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

For example, the Zheng family's convoy is guarded by family soldiers, and they usually give money and convenience, and everyone is safe.

After all, they are all mixed on the ground in Qingzhou, and few thieves will have a mortal enmity with the Haoqiang family.

"Brother, the world has changed." Zheng Ping shook his head: "Do you remember what I just said?" In the past, there were only thirty or fifty thieves, but now there are three or five hundred small thieves, three or five thousand or even tens of thousands. ”

"If you really want to give money and convenience, these dowries, including our war horses and swords, must be given to the thieves. Or you can hope for the thief's occasional kindness. ”

"If you choose to go right, although the trip is twice as long, it is less risky."

Zheng Yi disagreed: "Xianmou, we have two hundred soldiers, all of whom are loyal and brave." ”

"Weapons are also sharper than thieves, even if you encounter a small group of stupid thieves, you can win the battle."

"Giving money is a courtesy, not a fear."

If it weren't for Zheng Ping, Zheng Yi would have died on the way to the rescue when Yuan Tan attacked Kong Rong.

How to die, Zheng Ping doesn't need to think about it.

Whether it is Zheng Xuan or Zheng Yi, there are too many books angry.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was estimated that there would be a victory, but now the times have long changed.

Soldier, treacherous.

It is difficult for people who are too humble to win.

"Brother, you are far inferior to me in terms of marching strategy, and I will command the family soldiers." Zheng Ping's tone was three points more unquestionable: "Dealing with thieves is not simply sharper than weapons and numbers. ”

Zheng Yi was helpless.

Zheng Pingdu said this, obviously not ready to debate with Zheng Yi on how to march.

"Scouts, crossbow bolts loaded!"

"Within three miles, if you encounter a sneaky person, you will be killed!"

Bows and crossbows have always been forbidden among the people.

But the Zheng family is special, and when he traveled, Zheng Ping made a special trip to borrow ten crossbows from Gao Miling Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan also knows that the world is not peaceful now, and Zheng Xuan is to be wooed by Kong Rong's secret order, and Zheng Ping is likely to become Kong Rong's son-in-law.

Therefore, Wang Yu not only lent Zheng Ping ten crossbows, but also a hard bow and ten feather arrows.

Zheng Ping gave ten crossbows to the scouts of ten people, and the hard bow and feather arrows were hung war horses.

"Wait!" Zheng Yi hurriedly stopped: "Xianmou, there are also pedestrians in this mountain road, how can you conclude that the other party is sneaky?" ”

"If you kill a virtuous person by mistake, you will make a big mistake!"

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, and he had a three-point elegant atmosphere: "Brother, if there are really virtuous people in the mountain road, the reaction when encountering the scout is to avoid it, for fear of causing trouble, rather than sneakily inquiring about the identity and whereabouts of the scout." ”

"The scout team is all veterans of the Zheng family, and they won't even have this bit of eyesight."

"Those who dare to peep must be thieves and scouts!"

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, my brother doesn't believe in the scouts of the Zheng family?"

Zheng Yi wanted to speak and stopped.

If you don't trust it, how dare you hand over the crossbow arrows to the scouts?

Crossbow arrows don't need to bend the bow and arrows, and they can shoot at close range, and few people can avoid them.

"......"

Before Zheng Yi could speak, Zheng Ping's gave the scout team a gesture.

Ten scout veterans of the Zheng family spread out to escort within a three-mile range.

The rest of the family guards were divided into five formations, front, back, left and right, like a battlefield march.

And on the other side of the official road.

Zong Bao, the commander of Beihai, led 500 soldiers along the main road, and also found out the information that there were thieves robbing the road in the mountain road.

Zong Bao was not careless.

The thieves of Beihai County, since Kong Rong became the minister of Beihai, was led by Zong Bao to recruit troops.

This change of thieves in Beihai County, Zong Bao is the most aware one.

"In this position, there shouldn't be thieves, right?" Zong Bao was suspicious in his heart.

In today's Beihai County, there are fewer and fewer thieves in small strongholds, and almost all of them are merging with each other.

Unlike before, thirty or fifty thieves, men and women, old and weak, gathered together to block the road and rob the road.

"Inquire carefully!" Zong Bao was faintly worried.

This time, the troops were sent to protect Zheng Yi.

If something happens to this, his Zongbao, the captain of Beihai, is estimated to be the end.

The mountain road, the middle avenue.

The Yellow Turban thief was handsome Zhang Rao and hid five hundred Yellow Turban soldiers.

Zhang Rao is ambitious.

He was unwilling to be a little thief who could be recruited by the county soldiers at any time.

So Zhang Rao lied that he was the nephew of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, and claimed to be the commander of Qingzhou Qu, and began to annex the thieves and rogues in Beihai County.

With the divine assistance of Kong Rong, Zhang Rao has gradually grown from a small stronghold of less than 100 people at the beginning, and now has a scale of 10,000 people.

Among them, there are more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who can come out to loot!

This is not a small force!

The population of some small remote towns may not be as large as the population of Zhangrao's stronghold.

But when there were too many people, Zhang Rao began to worry.

As the base grows, so does the scarcity.

This time, Zhang Rao found out that Zheng Xuan's son was going to marry Kong Rong's daughter, and he was escorting the dowry into the county.

Zhang Rao's mind suddenly came to life.

There is food in the North Sea!

Kong Rong is known as the wine in the Beihai bottle.

This brewing requires the use of grain, and if the grain is not sufficient, how to make wine?

Zhang Rao is ready to arrest Zheng Xuan's son and go to Beihai for blackmail!

"Report!"

"Qu Shuai, the Zheng family's convoy turned around and went east."
