Liu Zheng did not say too much, because the specific matter could not be explained in detail at all. He only needed to inform Yan Baihu of the general content. With Yan Baihu's mind, he could naturally figure out whether Liu Zheng had the ability to join forces with him to deal with Liu Yao.

Although Yan Baihu was not clear about Liu Zheng's strength, Liu Zheng was able to rely on his own troops to conquer the entire Jiaozhou. No matter how he looked at it, Yan Baihu felt that Liu Zheng's strength was much stronger than him.

After all, although Yan Baihu has been confronting the court in the past six months, he has only used his troops to capture several counties in Kuaiji County. It is still a dream to occupy the entire Yangzhou.

Liu Zheng was able to defeat the entire Jiaozhou. Although Jiaozhou could not be compared with Yangzhou, it was also something that Yan Baihu felt was incredible.

After pondering for a moment and carefully calculating Liu Zheng's strength, Yan Baihu decided to cooperate with Liu Zheng.

After all, he is not a fool. If he doesn't cooperate with Liu Zheng, would he have to be alone? In the end, the pressure will not be reduced at all, and there is no harm in cooperating with Liu Zheng.

"I can cooperate with you, but how to deal with Liu Yao? Don't tell me, just let me restrain Liu Yao. With my troops now, it's not that easy to restrain Liu Yao."

"You don't need to do anything. You just need to make trouble behind him when Liu Yao is dealing with me."

Liu Zheng did not say much to Yan Baihu. After all, for now, he has not figured out how to deal with Liu Yao. The most urgent task is that Liu Zheng did not send troops to sweep Yangzhou, but instead rectified the economy of Jiaozhou first, so it still takes some time to cultivate.

"This is no problem. When will the troops be sent to deal with Liu Yao?"

"It is not suitable to send troops for the time being. It takes a while. My troops in Jiaozhou have just experienced a great war and need to be cultivated for half a year. In half a year, we will almost be able to come from Jiaozhou and deal with Liu Yao together. What do you think?"

"Half a year."

Yan Baihu heard Liu Zheng's words and said these two words.

Although he felt that this time was a bit long and there would be many variables in the past six months, he still did not say anything to Liu Zheng.

"Okay, half a year is half a year."

"In the past six months, I must use the Mi family's fleet to carry out some trade, increase some income, recruit people and build weapons. When the time comes, I will send someone to contact Brother Yan."

After Yan Baihu heard that Liu Zheng had planned all the subsequent plans, he said nothing more. He nodded, picked up the wine glass on the table, signaled to Liu Zheng, and then drank it all in one go.

At this time, the conversation reached this point and was quite smooth. For Liu Zheng, Yan Baihu's profound understanding of the righteousness was quite in line with his appetite, and the two of them were still able to chat.

So Liu Zheng also gave Yan Baihu a face, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one go.

In Wucheng County, the meeting between Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu was considered friendly, and the two sides were not tense. Perhaps Yan Baihu could know that as a water thief, he was not able to join forces, and Liu Zheng was one of them.

And he is the most powerful one.

Liu Zheng did not stay in Yan Baihu's territory for too long. After returning Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Xing to Yan Baihu, Liu Zheng took his men and prepared to leave.

Of course, when he left, he did not leave directly, but brought his people to the Mi family.

After dealing with the robbery of the cargo ship, Liu Zheng next invited the Mi family to continue to engage in trade in various places.

The trade in Jingzhou can continue to proceed normally, while the trade in Jiaozhou can also begin on the other hand.

When Liu Zheng left the Mi family, he asked the Mi family to prepare for the merchant ship to Jiaozhou. Now, after so half a month, I think it should be ready.

After contacting the Mi family, the Mi family had indeed prepared some goods, but they were not particularly valuable or valuable things, and the fleet was not large. It may be that they did not have a good understanding of the environment in Jiaozhou.

It is impossible to make an important assessment of the business structure of Jiaozhou. What is selling is of greater value, so we can only be cautious and adopt conservative strategies.

Liu Zheng did not blame the Mi family for this. After all, it was normal for the Mi family to be cautious. He took the Mi family's fleet and five or six merchant ships to flow down the Yangtze River, and then returned to Jiaozhou according to the previous path from the coast of Jiaozhou to Yangzhou.

Liu Zheng left Jiaozhou for only more than a month.

There was not much happening in Jiaozhou, and Liu Zheng didn't need to deal with anything. After returning to Jiaozhou, Liu Zheng first brought Mi Fang from Xuzhou to get to know the environment here, and then asked Yuan Zhou to discuss business with Mi Fang.

When he first left Xuzhou, Mi Fang was still very unbelievable on the boat, thinking that he had not been able to reach Jiaozhou by sailing out of the sea. However, after seven or eight days of sailing, he began to sail south along the coastline, gradually moving away from Yangzhou, and when he reached the boundary of Jiaozhou.

The distrustful look on Mi Fang's face also began to turn into a look of surprise. Even when he arrived at Hepu, Mi Fang had gone from surprise to ecstasy.

The whole trip took only seven or eight days, and it was less than half a month.

If the speed is fast enough, it takes less than a month to transport the goods from Jiaozhou and Xuzhou. Such transportation is faster than transporting from Xuzhou to Jingzhou.

Jiaozhou and Xuzhou are now far from each other. If you go to land, it will take at least two or three months before the goods can be delivered. However, now that you have to ship by sea, I am afraid that many goods that can communicate with each other can make the Mi family make a fortune in this transaction.

After understanding the value, Mi Fang looked at Liu Zheng gratefully and followed Yuan Zhou to explore the market.

Liu Zheng didn't need to do it himself, he was worried about everything. He just needed to control the general direction and then throw these details to his subordinates to do it.

He came to the military camp. This time, he did not bring Zulang back. Zulang's three thousand soldiers remained in the waters of Poyang Lake to guard Yangzhou for Liu Zheng.

This time, the ones who followed Liu Zheng were the Jiang Zhou brothers, and the nearly a thousand men under their command.
