Chapter 137
Zheng's Mansion in Nest County.

Zheng Bao sat in the study, staring at the map and frowning.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and a guard bowed to Zheng Bao: "Patriarch"

"How's the situation?" Zheng Bao quickly asked while looking at the map.

The guard hesitated for a moment, and slowly said what he heard: "Gepo Yellow Turban has already given an answer, but they need a thousand gold to send troops to Chaohu Lake."

"Presumptuous" Zheng Bao slammed the case table fiercely, and his anger spread instantly.No matter how many benefits I have given them, I am still so greedy.

Hearing this roar, the guard was startled and was too frightened to speak out.

"Patriarch" came a voice at this moment, followed by Zheng Lianzhong's figure.

Seeing Zheng Lianzhong approaching, Zheng Bao's brows relaxed slightly, and his tone became calmer: "Go down."

"Yes" the guard saluted hurriedly, turned and left.

Looking at the guards who almost fled, Zheng Lianzhong showed a puzzled look: "Why is the Patriarch so angry?"

"Why?" The corner of Zheng Bao's mouth showed a trace of sarcasm: "Ge Po Yellow Turban is not greedy enough to blackmail our daughter."

Hearing the word Qianjin, Zheng Lianzhong gasped: "Qian, Qianjin"

"The head of the family and the yellow turban bandits are greedy, and you must not give them gold. If you don't do anything with money, but spread the matter, Yangzhou was big at that time, but there was no place for us," Zheng Lianzhong advised.

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zheng Bao's eyes: "They can only choose to send partial teachers to Chaohu Lake"

"Why?" Zheng Lianzhong asked.

Zheng Bao said without hesitation: "Because the strength of the imperial court is far beyond their imagination, they can only choose to capture Shouchun as quickly as possible, and the best way is to surprise the prefecture Shu County."

"Surprise attack on Shu County, the prefecture?" Zheng Lianzhong's eyes showed a trace of solemnity: "Patriarch, this move is too dangerous, please think twice."

Zheng Bao asked back: "If we don't let the yellow scarves into Lujiang, can we take Chaohu with our strength?"

"Yes." Zheng Lianzhong's tone was very firm.

Zheng Bao asked: "Then what's next? Once the imperial court sends the Xiyuan elite to go straight to Gepo, then they will be able to form a pincer attack with Yangzhou soldiers and horses against Gepo's yellow scarves. Can we stop the Lujiang defenders from coming back?" ?”

"This..." Zheng Lianzhong hesitated, and shook his head at Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao made a conclusion: "Although we can capture Chaohu, we cannot defend it. What is the wealth of Chaohu? Why do we have to work so hard to plan Chaohu? It is not because Chaohu has a large area of ​​unowned fertile land. .If the strength of the Zheng family is greatly damaged by the extermination of the Baifan water bandits, then the prefect will definitely send troops to exterminate us."

"At that time, the best result was to become a real water thief and hide in the endless lake, but that desolate fertile land will never be with us again," Zheng Bao explained.

Zheng Lianzhong remained silent, because what Zheng Bao said was the fact that he was about to face.

"Why did I so painstakingly lure the Yellow Turban to come here? Isn't it because of the rich land around Chaohu Lake?" Zheng Bao paused a bit when he said this.

Immediately afterwards, he organized the words in his heart, and continued to say: "Since you know the ambition of the yellow scarf wolf, why don't I not know?"

"As long as they wipe out the White Sail Bandits, we will launch a surprise attack in the name of the Zheng family of Chao County. In this way, we can take the feat of destroying the Yellow Turbans, and we can justifiably ask for the post of Chaohu Lake Chief, and occupy the entire Chaohu Lake in a fair and honest manner." " Zheng Bao explained.

Zheng Lianzhong took a deep breath, and subconsciously uttered a sentence: "The fisherman wins when the duck and the clam compete."

"Exactly" Zheng Bao replied with confidence.

Zheng Lianzhong nodded solemnly: "Since the head of the family has made up his mind, Lian Zhong is willing to lead the hundred elites of Chao County to obey orders at any time."

"Okay" Zheng Bao felt proud.

Then he looked outside the house: "Come here"

"In" the guard who had just left strode in and bowed to Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao told him: "Immediately go to the mansion to take stock of the daughters, send them to Gepo Huangjin, and let them send troops to Chaohu as soon as possible."

"No," the guard replied loudly, then turned and left.

Looking at the departing guards, Zheng Bao's mouth showed a murderous intent: "Let's put this gold with them, and we will get it back later."

"The Yellow Turbans are nothing more than refugees, and it's easy to get them back," Zheng Lianzhong echoed.

Zheng Bao didn't answer, just smiled and remained silent, and the place was instantly silent.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe bowed and said, "My lord"

"What's the matter?" Zheng Bao asked.

The middle-aged man replied immediately: "I just received the news from Chaohu Lake that the water bandits who went to besiege Changhe Village have surrendered."

"What did you say? Surrender?" Zheng Bao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst into anger, and the veins on the back of his hands also burst out.Unexpectedly, an unremarkable ant slapped himself hard.

This is a great shame and humiliation, An Neng swallowed his anger.

Zheng Lianzhong was also shocked, after all, he made this proposal himself, and he never thought that those water thieves would be so weak.

The middle-aged man said firmly: "It's absolutely true."

"Patriarch calm down," Zheng Lianzhong hurriedly persuaded, but he was quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "These water thieves are useless to begin with, we must not lose the big because of small things."

"The reason why Changhe Village is so arrogant is because of the protection of the white sail water thief. If I kill the white sail water thief, this village like an ant will allow us to take revenge," Zheng Lianzhong explained.

Hearing the word Baifanshui, Zheng Bao gritted his teeth fiercely, showing a ferocious expression: "You are right, our main enemy at this time is the Baifansui"

"Changhe Village, I admit that I underestimated you." Zheng Bao paused for a while.

Looking at the middle-aged man: "From now on, give me detailed information about Changhe Village. After I dominate Chaohu Lake, they will definitely make their lives worse than death."

"No," the middle-aged man took the order loudly, then turned and walked outside.

Looking at the leaving back, Zheng Bao stood up and turned his eyes to Zheng Lianzhong: "Go back and prepare well. Whether the Zheng family in Chao County can rise will be a battle here."

"Yes" Zheng Lianzhong bowed to Zheng Bao and replied loudly, but his heart was full of worries.

Is the Yellow Turban really easy to eliminate?How many troops will they send this time?Would it be wishful thinking to lose both sides? .

Countless questions circled in Zheng Lianzhong's mind, and he could not calm down for a long time.

The Patriarch is right, this is the key battle to determine whether the Zheng family in Chao County can rise, but why does he have an ominous premonition in his heart.

Among the Yellow Turbans in the world, Ge Po is the most powerful, and the partisans they sent out may not be able to stop the water thieves alone.

If it's not that both sides are hurting, but the Gepo Yellow Turban is ruined, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating instead.
