Upon hearing the news that Liu Hao had captured Guangling County overnight, the entire banquet hall in Yangzhou fell silent.
Deadly silence!
"This...how is it possible...how is it possible..."
Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, always thought highly of himself, but he had no extraordinary talents.
Being so stimulated by Liu Hao made him even more frightened and unable to calm down...
Xue Li fell down just now and sat up from the ground. He found that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
"It's so dangerous! If I hadn't been able to dodge quickly, I would have died in Guangling County now..."
Thinking of this, Xue Li was filled with unreasonable fear and some luck...
"Master Liu, what should we do next?"
Yangzhou General Zhang Ying asked tentatively, "Do you want us to ambush in Moling and snipe Langyahou?"
"This is an absolute must!"
Another general, Taishi Ci, said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world has recognized that the general flattered Tianyun and moved the capital to Moling... If the governor had an ambush in Moling, he would have lost his righteousness and would be in trouble with the world's population.
..."
"Haha, when you speak for Marquis Langya, don't you mean you want to defect to Liu Hao?"
Zhang Ying blurted out without thinking.
He had been unhappy with this Tai Shi Ci for a long time.
They were foreign generals who usually relied on their martial arts skills to become domineering and did not take their local generals in Yangzhou into consideration at all.
"General Zhang, do you think that my Taishi Ci's spear is not sharp?"
Taishi Ci's eyebrows suddenly raised and he glared at Zhang Ying...
The generals under his command actually started to quarrel, and Liu Yao finally got angry...
"Okay, okay...it's noisy, noisy, what's the fuss about!?"
He fidgeted and considered for a long time, and finally said: "Liu Hao, this guy, has a lot of elite soldiers, and his strength is too strong... In this case, you can't have a hasty ambush, otherwise you will fail, both inside and outside."
not human......"
General Zhang Yingweng said in a low voice: "My lord, what should we do? We can't let Marquis Langya drive straight into my territory of Yangzhou, right?"
"Yes! Moling has been taken over by him, and his next step will definitely be to swallow up the entire Yangzhou!"
"Originally, there was Yuan Shu, who took over the two counties in Jiangdong, and now there is Langyahou, and life is hard to live by..."
"Haha, what's the rush? I have a clever plan!"
Liu Yao secretly planned in his heart and smiled proudly:
The Yangtze River is a natural barrier, and there are several powerful bandit forces on it. The tail is too big to lose!
Liu Hao's elite men are all cavalry and landlubbers, and they have even fewer ships!
If we could wait for them to cross the river and encourage these powerful bandits to attack Liu Hao, wouldn't it be possible to severely injure Liu Hao...
"Sambo, how long is it from the mansion of the great shipbuilder Zheng?"
Liu Hao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others rode together and headed towards the riverside of Guangling County.
Sanbao is the nickname given to Zheng He by Liu Hao.
Cao Zhengchun and Cao Shaoqin are busy with affairs and have to coordinate the overall situation. Zheng He is now Liu Hao's personal bodyguard.
"Lord, we're almost there, about half an hour away!"
Zheng He looked ahead and said respectfully, "There are many ships on Guangling Ferry, which are controlled by the Zheng family, a shipbuilding family. If the lord can recruit ships from their hands, it will not be a big deal for him to lead a group of people across the river."
Difficult matter!"
"Your surname is also Zheng. Doesn't this Zheng have anything to do with you?"
Liu Hao was also very imaginative. He thought of it and asked casually.
"Master...how do you know?"
Zheng He said in astonishment, "If I count, I am really a distant relative of the Zheng family, but for a little person like me, they will definitely not recognize me..."
"Zheng He's background... actually has this kind of relationship?"
Liu Hao's mind moved and he thought of some possibility.
Now Liu Hao is a little worried about crossing the river.
He had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, as well as Zheng He, the treasured water warrior general. However, he only lacked ships, which was an urgent need.
Tens of thousands of people would cross the river, but it might not be possible without hundreds of large ships.
Guangling County temporarily mobilized only dozens of fishing boats, which were of no use at all.
Therefore, Liu Hao prepared to come to the riverside ferry in person, firstly to negotiate with Zheng and show his sincerity, and secondly to observe the terrain of the battle.
After all, the areas along the river are very different from the northern plains.
The area along the river in Guangling has soft geology and restricted terrain, making it difficult for the cavalry to do much.
This unique terrain placed many restrictions on the use of troops, and at the same time gave Liu Hao a warm feeling.
In his previous life, he was a southerner, and when he reached this point, he was almost at home.
A few people walked around and finally arrived at a small town by the river.
"My lord, this town is called Bifeng Town, and the Zheng family's mansion is located in this town..."
Zheng He led the Jin Yiwei to the front and inquired for a while before getting the news.
"Since it's just now, there's no need to worry... First, find an inn in this sheltered town, rest for a while, and then make plans..."
Liu Hao is a person who is accustomed to enjoying himself, so of course he will not neglect himself.
Today, if he is willing to come out to visit the Zheng family, he has already given them face, and there is no need to say anything else.
Liu Hao took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others up to the second floor and sat by the window.
Bifeng Town is close to the river. This location has a unique scenery, and you can vaguely see the endless river.
"Sir, the food and drinks are here..."
The waiter in the inn brought several kilograms of cooked beef and some of the signature hot dishes to Liu Hao.
"Tsk! Does this little shop have Maotai fairy wine?"
Liu Hao smelled the familiar aroma of wine and became a little interested.
"Sir, you want the best wine and food. This small pot of wine is the treasure of our restaurant. It is not cheap...a small pot costs a lot of money..."
The waiter carefully filled up the glasses for Liu Hao and the others and bowed to leave.
"My lord, this Maotai fairy wine sells so damn well!"
"Hey! The more you sell, the more your lord will make..."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu smiled proudly.
However, there was only such a small pot of wine, which was not enough for two people to drink, and it was quickly wiped out.
"It is the right move to arrange for the meticulous Prajna to control the business!"
Liu Hao smiled slightly, Moutai Fairy Brew was selling well, and it provided him with many benefits.
While several people were eating and drinking, suddenly there was a clear ringing of bells from a distance!
Hearing the sound of the bell, everyone in the town seemed to hear the magic sound of the Nine Nether Hell!
There was a commotion in Shefeng Town!
"No...the Jinfan thief is here, run away!"
"The invincible Jinfan thief is here, run away! The further away you can run, the better!" ..
