Chapter 179 Zheng Bao's Reaction

Hasty footsteps came from a large mansion in Ruxukou.

"My lord," a man dressed as a scribe, bowed to Zheng Bao who was sitting on the main seat.

Zheng Bao looked at the approaching scribes, and suddenly stood up: "How is the situation?"

"The prefect returned to aid the Yellow Turban and was defeated," the scribe replied.

Zheng Bao frowned, obviously the news was not what he wanted: "How about the loss of the White Sail Bandit?"

"I don't know." The scribe's lips moved, but he still replied truthfully.

Anger flashed in Zheng Bao's eyes: "Why don't you know?"

"Although the Yellow Turban and the White Sail Bandit were fighting, the fighting was not intense, so the subordinates could not deduce the specific casualties from the intelligence," the scribe replied.

Then he seemed to think of something, and continued to add: "I just heard that Changhe Town launched a fierce attack on the Yellow Turban camp when the prefect came back to help. It is said that some people died in the battle."

"Changhe Town?" Zheng Bao couldn't help being surprised.

Suddenly he came to his senses, and subconsciously raised his voice: "No, with the relationship between the Jia family in Wancheng and Lu Kang, I'm afraid there will be a change in the post of Chaohu chief."

"Accident?" The scribe also panicked.

A trace of killing intent appeared in Zheng Bao's eyes, and he clenched his hands into fists: "Damn it, where did this Changhe Town transform into soldiers and horses?"

"Could it be the part of the private soldiers raised by the Jia family in Wancheng?" the scribe replied.

Zheng Bao shook his head: "Impossible, weren't they killed by the handsome Chen Ce in the mountains?"

"This?" The scribe hesitated, the scene of the destruction of the Jia family in Wancheng was still vivid in his memory, and those private soldiers who are now crossing the street really have no such possibility.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Zheng Bao's meditation.

"Patriarch" Zheng Lianzhong bowed.

Zheng Bao asked: "How are your preparations going?"

"I will mobilize a hundred soldiers from Chao County, and as soon as the Patriarch gives an order, I will be able to send troops to destroy the Baifan Water Village as a county lieutenant," Zheng Liancheng replied loudly.

Zheng Bao's eyes flickered: "The plan has changed, you immediately return to Chao County and go straight to Changhe Town"

"Changhe Town?" Zheng Lianzhong looked puzzled.

Think quickly: "But Changhe Village?"

"Exactly," Zheng Bao said through gritted teeth, his murderous aura gradually spreading.

Zheng Lianzhong frowned: "For no reason to attack the subordinate villages of Chao County, even though I am a county lieutenant, I am afraid that something is wrong."

"Patriarch, you should think twice about this matter," Zheng Lianzhong persuaded.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zheng Bao's mouth: "Do you know what Changhe Town has done?"

"Please also inform the Patriarch," Zheng Lianzheng asked.

Zheng Bao said loudly: "They took the soldiers and horses they got from somewhere, and they sent troops to the Yellow Turban camp when the prefect came back to help. If I expected it right, given the relationship between the Jia family in Wancheng and Lu Kang, this Chaohu Lake leader is a I'm afraid I won't be able to secure my job"

"Ju, unexpectedly..." Zheng Lianzhong was taken aback,
Zheng Bao's voice became a little colder: "Do you think this Changhe Town deserves to die?"

"It's not just damn." Zheng Lianzhong also showed an angry expression.

For Zheng Bao and the entire Zheng family in Chaoxian County, only when they deserve their name can they establish a foundation for eternity after occupying Chaohu Lake.

If any of the two is missing, it is a fatal flaw.

only……

Zheng Lianzhong looked at Zheng Bao, and said in a firm tone: "Patriarch Mingjian, I am really not suitable to take action against Changhe Town as a county captain of Chao County."

"The county lieutenant's words make sense," the scribes quickly echoed.

A strategy emerged in his mind: "The defenders of Chao County cannot be used, but the water thieves can"

"My lord, why don't you send a team of water thieves to raid Changhe Town? In this way, the morale of the white sail water thieves can be broken, and the white sail water village can be captured with minimal casualties," the scribe suggested.

Zheng Bao was a little moved, and gradually fell into thinking.

Seeing the change in Zheng Bao's expression, the scribe took the opportunity to say: "If we borrow the name of the county captain when we wipe out the Baifan water bandits, then besides the lord, who else can the governor of Yangzhou give this Chaohu chief?"

"Okay" Zheng Bao spat out the word heavily, as if he had made a difficult decision.

His eyes gradually became sharper, and then he raised his voice: "Call all the leaders to discuss matters"

"No..." There was a violent sound outside the door.

The sound of dense and heavy footsteps came, and dozens of men filed in.

"Meet the Patriarch" All the men bowed.

Looking at these people, Zheng Bao couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

They are the background of the Zheng family in Chao County, and they hold powerful power in their hands.

"Everyone, the plan has changed, so we have to act in advance," Zheng Bao said loudly.

Dozens of men suddenly went into an uproar.

"Have the plans changed?"

"May I ask what happened to the Patriarch?"

Hearing the question, Zheng Bao looked at the scribe.

"Do all the leaders know about Changhe Town?" the scribe asked.

A man showed a puzzled expression: "But that Jia family?"

"Exactly," replied the scribe.

All the men looked at each other, and their puzzled expressions became more intense.

"Since you all know that Changhe Town and the mayor are members of the Jia family, you must also know the relationship between the Jia family and the prefect of Wancheng." The scribe paused.

Then he continued: "Last night, soldiers and horses from Changhe Town appeared in front of the prefect. Given the relationship between the two parties, the prefect must promise the post of Chaohu chief."

All the men were shocked.

"Chief Chaohu?"

"This, how is this possible"

"Once the head of the family loses the post of Chaohu head, wouldn't we just be water thieves forever?"

Zheng Bao sighed softly: "So we can only act in advance"

"This battle is not only for the Zheng family of Chao County, but also for you and yourself. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations." Zheng Bao said majesticly.

All the men shouted: "I am willing to obey the orders of the Patriarch"

"Soldiers are precious and fast," Zheng Bao spat out these four words.

A surge of pride rose in my heart: "Immediately fly the pigeon to pass the letter, let the evil waves go straight to the white sail pirates"

"Lianzhong!" Zheng Bao yelled.

Zheng Lianzhong bowed and saluted: "Yes"

"Let the Chao County government officials post a notice to crusade against Baifan, and then lead the Chao County defenders to rush to the rescue," Zheng Bao ordered.

Having said that, he paused for a while, and his eyes fell on the scribe: "As for Changhe Town, I will leave it to the gentleman."

"No," the scribe said violently.

Zheng Bao looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "Our honor and disgrace are all in today"

"Half an hour later, Bai Fanxiong sent troops to dominate Chaohu Lake. For the Zheng family of Wuchao County, and for your descendants, we will establish a foundation that will last forever," Zheng Bao roared.

Everyone was almost crazy when they thought of the scene after occupying Chaohu Lake.

"Willing to follow the Patriarch, to be the foundation of future generations, to establish an indomitable foundation"

A group of men shouted in unison, as if a flame was burning in their hearts.

As the private soldiers of the Zheng family in Chao County, they naturally hope that the main family will prosper. If the main family can occupy Chaohu Lake, then in the entire Lujiang River and even Yangzhou, they can become one of the best wealthy families.

At that time, as a private soldier among the wealthy clan, he could gain supreme glory.

This is not just fame, but more tangible benefits.

For example, the barren fertile land around Chaohu Lake would be a great wealth once reclaimed.
