"Yes, leaving this matter aside, this force hidden behind is indeed a bit strange. It can be said that the Zheng family's incident last time really helped us a lot. Otherwise, we still wouldn't be able to dig out the Zheng family until now.
come out."
"Coupled with what happened this time, it's obvious that they are helping us, but what's the motive?"
"I really can't think of the reason why they did this. They obviously helped us, but they didn't reveal any information to us, as if they were afraid that we would know."
"I can't figure it out."
Zhang Bao also nodded.
Counting it all together, this is already the third time. The first time for the Zheng family, Zhang Bao and the others knew the real master behind it immediately, so they reacted so quickly.
The second time was when Zhang Bao sought medical treatment for Su Xiaoyue. If this force had not sent the news to people in various counties in advance, they would not have arrived in time with doctors and medicine.
This was the third time. Zhang Bao would never have thought that four states would unite to deal with Hezhou.
Before Zhang Bao, he had certain manpower reserves in Dongzhou and Taizhou, but he was not prepared for Jeju and Shaanzhou. Once they took advantage of the situation, it would be really difficult to handle.
If you think about it this way, the favor you owe is huge.
"Sir, after the last incident of delivering letters to various counties in Hezhou, I did some research, and I can only know that this organization is not in our Hezhou, and the people it came into contact with seemed to be all women, and there was no trace of anything else.
News.”
"Duan is extremely mysterious, and he has such a powerful intelligence network. He actually understands our side of Hezhou. If they didn't have any ill intentions, they would be very troublesome."
Fan Hanzhong was also a little worried.
"In this case, let's not worry about it for now. If they have malicious intentions, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to predict."
"The most important thing now is the affairs of these states."
"What do you think we should do?"
"What's the situation with the troops we have now?"
Zhang Bao asked Fan Hanzhong.
"Sir, are we still afraid of them?"
"Just let them come!"
"Now we in Hezhou have strong troops and horses. We dare not say we can win offensively, but our defense is foolproof!"
Fan Hanzhong said to Zhang Bao.
During this period of time, Fan Hanzhong was hardly idle at all. He was running back and forth between counties and counties, supervising and supervising the training situation in various places. Moreover, Fan Hanzhong also selected 10,000 horses and led them to various places in Hezhou.
Conduct exploratory sneak attacks and attacks invisibly.
It can be said that in all counties and counties in Hezhou, the string is very tight.
Be fully prepared for battle at any time.
Even if someone attacks, they are used to it.
When Fan Hanzhong and the others trained, they completely followed the actual battlefield.
This kind of interaction between spear and shield.
For them, there has been a huge improvement on both offense and defense.
Even if someone were to attack this city wall now, they would not need orders from the generals at all. Everyone would be able to get to their positions immediately and know how to defend themselves against the enemy.
Under such circumstances, when Fan Hanzhong heard the news about their joint attack, not only did he not have any worries, but he also had some expectations.
For such a long time, the position of state pastor has been suppressed and restricted too much. For Fan Hanzhong, only the battlefield is the most suitable for him.
Having been in the position of Zhou Mu for such a long time, I have seen a lot of things in the court.
Fan Hanzhong's loyalty to the imperial court was gradually worn away.
It's not that Fan Hanzhong will rebel, but that Fan Hanzhong no longer has any expectations for the court and the emperor.
But it was on the battlefield that Fan Hanzhong could forget all these things.
"We will definitely fight, but if we fight, the whole north will be completely in chaos."
"Four states are involved at once. I can't let Fu Mingli of Liaozhou stay out of the matter. He must be involved. In this case, all five states in the north have participated. It can be said that the entire northern region is in chaos.
Already."
"In this case, I feel that the Great Sima Cao Kang will never just watch. He will definitely take the opportunity to do something."
"I didn't think clearly about what he would do."
"And even if our troops here are sufficient and the combat effectiveness is relatively strong, if we really fight with so many people, we will never suffer any losses."
"In this way, in the end, our overall strength will probably become very weak. At this time, it is very likely that we will be targeted by other people, which will be very troublesome."
"So going to full-scale war is one way, but it's not the best way!"
Zhang Bao said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Then according to your wishes, what should we do?"
"I'm afraid the current situation is not something we can do without fighting."
Fan Hanzhong shook his head.
If it's true what they said.
Taizhou will definitely take the initiative, and if Dongzhou takes action, Shaanzhou and Jeju will never let go of this opportunity to share the pie.
I am afraid that even if there is no instigation from Dongzhou, they will definitely take action.
"I plan to capture Dongzhou with lightning speed!"
"Didn't they attack us under Dongzhou's instigation? I will destroy the first spark for them!"
"Even if they want to take action against us, they still need to think carefully about it when the time comes."
Zhang Bao said to Fan Hanzhong.
"This... although it is feasible to do this, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to kill Dongzhou in a short time."
"And as soon as we move, after they get the news, they will immediately press forward with full pressure. At that time, the pressure will still be on our side."
Fan Hanzhong said with some worry.
"Don't worry, you don't need to take action to destroy Dongzhou. I can just take Bai Fang and the Tielin Army with me."
"Two thousand people are enough to destroy a state."
"Don't forget, during this period, the explosives in Hejian Village have been filled up. I also need to replace and update some of them. Otherwise, if they are placed in the tunnel, there will still be some moisture."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Two thousand people wipe out a state?"
"Sir, you are too joking..."
Fan Hanzhong swallowed.
Even if Dongzhou is the weakest state, it has nearly 100,000 troops. How could it be killed by 2,000 people?
Even with the powerful weapons like before, it won't work.
They also have bows and arrows, and when the time comes when thousands of arrows are fired, there is nothing you can do.
"Who said I was going to wipe out a state?"
"Isn't Yang Gan looking for trouble?"
"Wouldn't it be over if I kill these troublemakers?"
"What I am hesitating about now is, after killing Yang Gan, who should I let be the state pastor of Dongzhou?"
"After all, we don't know much about Dongzhou."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
Fan Hanzhong:?????
??????
Are you considering who should be the state pastor of Dongzhou?
This is too...
And you are a state pastor, but you want to be a commando captain?
Taking two thousand people to make trouble against a hundred thousand people.
Fan Hanzhong didn't even know what to say.
At this time, Fan Hanzhong suddenly had a feeling in his heart that what he had been doing recently did not seem to be of great significance to Zhang Bao...
"Sir, can I ask more, is the reason why you are targeting Dongzhou so much because you have other plans in Dongzhou?"
Fan Hanzhong thought for a while and asked Zhang Bao.
