"Letter from Xiazhou?"
Zheng Kongliang was a little confused.
Although the Zheng family also arranged some people in Xiazhou, they had made it clear before that they would try not to reveal their identity unless it was absolutely necessary.
This is why Zhu Yue was so surprised when he mentioned to Zheng Kongming that they were ambushing those people in secret.
After weighing the balance, he still boarded Zhu Yue's pirate ship.
Zheng Kongliang opened the letter and was a little surprised.
did not expect.
This letter turned out to be sent by Grand Sima Cao Kang.
Judging from this meaning, it seems that Cao Kang did not use his status as a great Sima to say anything, and his tone in the letter was quite humble.
He said some polite words about being old acquaintances with the Zheng family, but at the end of the letter, he asked the Zheng family to pay more attention to the situation in Hezhou.
Zheng Kongliang sneered.
Would you like to pay more attention to the situation in Hezhou?
I'm afraid they want our Zheng family to keep an eye on Zhang Bao, right?
Is it a kind of temptation to say it with this identity and tone?
Cao Kang and Zhang Bao?
Zheng Kongliang hesitated.
To be honest, I never thought that the Zheng family would be noticed by this big Sima.
Although the Zheng family has a certain background, the great Sima Cao Kang is at the peak of his power now. Although the emperor is still there, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is this great Sima who is really in power now.
If Da Sima also has thoughts about our Zheng family, wouldn't it be a bit hasty to seek refuge with Zhang Bao before?
And since Da Sima is now in sole control, why does he still need to use this method to find our Zheng family?
Zheng Kongliang couldn't figure it out and walked back and forth in the hall.
"Master, Fan Hanzhong is here."
"It's outside the gate right now."
A servant came in and said.
"Um?"
"Fan Hanzhong? Please come!"
"No!"
"I'd better go out in person."
Zheng Kongliang thought for a while, and quickly came out with a few people.
At this time, Fan Hanzhong was waiting outside the Zheng Mansion with a team of people.
This is not his first time here.
But after arriving this time, the guards and soldiers of the Zheng family almost crawled in to report.
Fan Hanzhong was also speechless.
The last time I followed Zhang Bao and Lao He, they ended up blasting a bloody path.
It left a huge psychological shadow on the Zheng family.
During this period, after Fan Hanzhong left Sanhe County, he began to train troops along the way.
Along the way, I have to admire Zhang Bao's arrangements. The strength of these soldiers is indeed somewhat uneven.
Not only because they have not experienced too many battles, but more importantly, because of the extremely rapid expansion of military strength, which has caused them to be unable to keep up in many aspects.
Fan Hanzhong was the one who led the troops, so naturally he looked down upon these things.
In Yunzhong County, which he had just passed through, Fan Hanzhong led five thousand recruits. After training for more than half a month, they captured Yunzhong County with a moat.
Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment.
Originally, in Xie Yunsong's understanding, this moat was a natural moat, and it was impossible for anyone to come here.
But in Fan Hanzhong's view, all defenses, no matter how powerful they are, are dead, but only the attackers are alive. As long as you think of a way, there will be a way.
In fact, the method is simple. The moat itself cannot be attacked by force, and it is difficult to attack directly from the outside.
But if you crack it from the inside, it will be simple.
Previously, in order to ensure that the entire moat was running water, a river within the city was dug to connect it to the moat.
Fan Hanzhong selected hundreds of soldiers who were good at water, and took advantage of the late night to quietly destroy the gates between the river and the moat in the city, and entered the city through the waterway.
At the same time, other soldiers were asked to lurk in the water in advance and pull a rope on the river under the stone bridge.
These men and horses took advantage of the cover of night and the stone bridge to quietly cross the river and hide under the city wall.
Those who sneaked in in advance knocked out the guards at the city gates from inside, opened the gates and let people in. The Yunzhong County House was breached.
There were plenty of bows and arrows on the wall to defend the city, but they were of no use at all.
Xie Yunsong was dumbfounded.
On the other hand, when Fan Hanzhong led the new soldiers to defend the city and asked Xie Yunsong and others to attack the city, Xie Yunsong also chose the time of night, when he was also preparing to attack from the moat.
However, Fan Hanzhong used a move to close the door and beat the dog. He once again surrounded Xie Yunsong's men in the city and received a sound beating.
Xie Yunsong didn't dare to be careless anymore.
I studied this art of war all day long.
After coming out of Yunzhong County, Fan Hanzhong took a detour to Zheng's house.
to be honest.
Fan Hanzhong is not as thick-skinned as Zhang Bao and Lao He.
Fan Hanzhong always felt awkward after killing everyone in his mansion just now, and now he was coming again.
"This is General Fan. I don't know that when a distinguished guest comes to our door, we will miss him from afar."
"I am the current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Kongliang."
"Please come in quickly."
Zheng Kongliang said as he walked out with his hands in hand.
Fan Hanzhong was a little dazed. Does this person not know what we did at the Zheng family before?
Why is it like nothing happened?
He followed Zheng Kongliang in with a confused look. He was not afraid of Zheng Kongliang's attack. After all, he came with soldiers and horses this time.
"General Fan came here today. I don't know why?"
Zheng Kongliang poured a cup of tea for Fan Hanzhong and said.
At this time, the two of them were sitting in the lake-centre pavilion where Zhang Bao and the others had killed everyone.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Last time you gave Zhang Zhoumu a lot of gold and silver jewelry, which must have shown the stance of your Zheng family. This matter has been widely publicized by Zhang Zhoumu and used as a model for various aristocratic families."
"It seems that your Zheng family did something wise this time."
Fan Hanzhong said to Zheng Kongliang.
"What?"
"model?"
Zheng Kongliang was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Zhang Bao would actually bring his surrender to Zhang Bao to his face. Doesn't that mean that he has no way out now?
Zheng Kongliang shook his head helplessly.
It would be fine if there was no such letter from Da Sima, but now this letter has become a reminder to the King of Hell!
"General Fan, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Zheng Kongliang hesitated for a while and asked Fan Hanzhong.
"Say, you want to ask about Zhang Bao?"
Fan Hanzhong glanced at Zheng Kongliang.
"right!"
"I want to know, General Fan, what do you think of the newly appointed Zhangzhou Mu now?"
"And why are you willing to give up your position as state pastor?"
Zheng Kongliang asked Fan Hanzhong.
