Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 8

thief!

Zheng Yi was taken aback, and quickly stopped the chariots and horses, and ordered his family soldiers to guard him.

"I have two hundred soldiers in my family, and the thieves still dare to rob. This is because they have confidence in their hearts."

"There are three roads leading to Ju County. If you go to the left, the road is rough and easy to set up an ambush. Although the journey to the right is twice as long, it is not easy to set up an ambush."

"Um……"

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

"Brother, at the intersection ahead, choose the right." Without any panic, Zheng Ping called Zheng Yi to change direction.

Zheng Yi said hesitantly: "It's obvious that the bandits are lying on the road, they must be greedy for money, just give them some money."

"Choose the right and go, the itinerary is nearly doubled, why bother?"

The thieves and soldiers who rob the road are often bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

Such as the Zheng family convoy, which is guarded by family soldiers, usually gives money and convenience, and everyone lives in peace.

After all, they are all on the ground in Qingzhou, and few thieves will have a deadly feud with a powerful family.

"Brother, the world has changed." Zheng Ping shook his head: "Do you still remember what I said just now? The thieves in the past were only entrenched by three or fifty people, but today's thieves are as small as three to five hundred, and as many as three to five thousand or even tens of thousands." .”

"If you really want to give money and convenience, these betrothal gifts, including our horses and swords, must be given to the thieves. Maybe the thieves will be kind occasionally."

"Choose the right, although the itinerary is doubled, but the risk is smaller."

Zheng Yi didn't take it seriously: "Xianmou, we have two hundred soldiers, all of whom are loyal and brave men."

"Weapons are also sharper than those of thieves. Even if you encounter a small group of stupid thieves, you can still win."

"Promising money is my courtesy, not fear."

Without Zheng Ping, Zheng Yi would have died on the way to the rescue when Yuan Tan attacked Kong Rong.

How he died, Zheng Ping didn't need to think about it.

Both Zheng Xuan and Zheng Yi are too bookish.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it is estimated that there will be a victory, but now the times have long changed.

Soldiers, deceitful way.

People who are too humble are hard to win.

"Brother, in terms of marching strategy, you are far inferior to me. Let me command the family soldiers." Zheng Ping's tone was undeniable: "Dealing with bandit soldiers is not simply about the sharpness of weapons and the number of people."

Zheng Yi was helpless.

After Zheng Ping said this, it was obvious that he was not going to debate with Zheng Yi on how to march.

"Scout team, the crossbow bolts are loaded!"

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

Bows and crossbows have always been banned among the people.

But the Zheng family is quite special. Zheng Ping specially borrowed ten crossbows from Gaomi Ling Wang Xiu when he was traveling.

Wang Xiu also knew that today's world is not peaceful, 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 Xiu not only lent Zheng Ping ten crossbows, but also a hard bow and ten feathered arrows.

Zheng Ping distributed the ten crossbows to the ten members of the scout team, and the hard bows and arrows were hung on the horses.

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Yi hurriedly stopped him: "Xianmou, there are also pedestrians in this mountain path, how can we determine that the other party is sneaky?"

"If you accidentally kill a virtuous citizen, it will be a big mistake!"

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, with a three-pointed elegance: "Brother, if there are really virtuous people in Ruoshan Road, the reaction to encountering scouts is to avoid them, for fear of causing trouble, instead of sneaking around to find out the scouts' identities and whereabouts."

"The scouts are all veterans of the Zheng family, so they don't even have this kind of eyesight."

"Those who dare to peep must be spies!"

"Employees are not suspicious, suspects are not, brother does not trust the scouts of the Zheng family?"

Zheng Yi hesitated to speak.

If you don't trust him, how dare you hand over the crossbow to the scout team?

Crossbow arrows don't need to be bowed and set up arrows, they can be shot at close range, and few people can avoid them.

"Can……"

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

Ten veteran scouts from the Zheng family spread out to escort them within three miles.

For the remaining family guards, Zheng Ping divided them into five formations, front, back, left, right, and middle, like marching on a battlefield.

And on the other side of the official road.

Zongbao, the captain of Beihai, led five hundred soldiers from the county along the main road, and also found out the information that there were robbers robbing the mountain road.

Zong Bao was not careless.

The thieves in Beihai County, since Kong Rong became Prime Minister of Beihai, Zong Bao led the army to conquer them.

Zong Bao is the most aware of the changes in the thieves in Beihai County.

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

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

Unlike before, thirty or fifty thieves, regardless of gender, 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 dispatched to meet and protect Zheng Yi.

If something happened to this, he, Zong Bao, the captain of the North Sea, would probably be the end of it.

Shandao, the middle avenue.

Zhang Rao, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban, hid five hundred Yellow Turban soldiers.

Zhang Rao was ambitious.

He is not willing to be a small bandit who may be levied by the county soldiers at any time.

So Zhang Rao lied that he was the nephew of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, and called himself Qushuai of Qingzhou, and began to annex the thieves and bandits in Beihai County.

With the help of Kong Rong, Zhang Rao gradually grew from a small stronghold of less than a hundred people to a scale of ten thousand people.

Among them, there are more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers who can come out to loot!
This is not a small force!

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

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

The scale of the stronghold is getting bigger and bigger, and the food is getting more and more scarce.

This time, Zhang Rao discovered that Zheng Xuan's son was going to marry Kong Rong's daughter, and was escorting the dowry to Ju County.

Zhang Rao's mind suddenly became alive.

Beihai has food!

Kong Rong claimed that the bottles in Beihai were never empty.

This kind of wine needs food, and there is not enough food, how to make wine?
Zhang Rao is going to arrest Zheng Xuan's son and go to Beihai to blackmail him!
"Report!"

"Shuai Qu, the Zheng family's convoy has turned to the east."

　There are two changes a day, basically after zero and around two noon.

　　Ask for support!
