So Han Yutao and the others were very open-minded.
They also understand that their identity itself is a crisis, so they have no extravagant expectations that they can always be under Cao Kang's hands.
They just want to recover as soon as possible and then disappear, including the back road, they already have their own plans.
They just didn't expect that Cao Kang would suddenly proclaim himself emperor later. After proclaiming himself emperor, they originally thought that nothing would happen without them, but just some time ago, they received news from Cao Kang and continued to ask them to send money. .
And the amount of money this time is far greater than the previous amount.
In fact, they are also very aware of this situation.
Now Cao Kang has begun to exploit their last value.
Dongzhou has lost Cao Kang's control.
It was completely taken down by Zhang Bao's men.
And if Zhang Bao goes very smoothly this time and can annex the entire Dongzhou, from Cao Kang's point of view, maybe a few of them will immediately defect to Zhang Bao.
And their value to Cao Kang only lies in making money.
so.
Cao Kang planned to take advantage of the last opportunity to let them maximize their value and make a fortune from where they were.
Although they are only in a small county.
But based on the income in Pingyang County, Dongzhou.
In fact, it is comparable to the income of several counties in Hezhou.
As for Han Yutao and others, they had no other choice but to increase taxes and push this matter onto Zhang Bao to make money as quickly as possible.
But I didn’t expect that this money had not yet been sent out.
Zhang Bao came.
At this time, they felt very guilty when facing Zhang Bao.
On the one hand, they also know that Dongzhou now belongs to Zhang Bao.
But if they themselves use Zhang Bao's name to make money, then it will naturally be detrimental to Zhang Bao.
On the other hand.
If Zhang Bao discovered what they were doing in Pingyang County.
So for them, there is no way to survive.
so.
Only then did the three of them take the risk and decide to attack Zhang Bao.
However, they still underestimated Zhang Bao's ability and Zhang Bao's current identity.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Bao is now on an equal footing with Cao Kang.
During this period of time, they have been shutting themselves in such a Pingyang County. They have no idea about the trends outside, including the changes in their current thinking, and they have not completely kept up with the changes in Daxia.
After listening to Han Cunguang's words, Zhang Bao was not too surprised.
Because the previous guesses about their identities were similar to my own.
However, the connection between them and Cao Kang was indeed somewhat unexpected. He did not expect that these three people were inextricably related to Cao Kang before.
And now, you can also directly contact Cao Kang.
This is what surprised Zhang Bao the most.
But now I know it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, according to Zhang Bao's previous estimate, the entire Dongzhou has been captured by Fang Fu. Since it has been captured by Fang Fu, it means that the entire Dongzhou should be under Fang Fu's control. among.
Not only Zhang Bao thinks so, I believe Fang Fu thinks so too.
But I didn't expect it.
It was still infiltrated by Cao Kang's people.
More importantly, they can guard against any means Cao Kang uses now.
But there is no way to prevent it. Cao Kang had made arrangements here in Dongzhou before.
This is also something Zhang Bao neglected.
After all, according to Cao Kang's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of such a fertile place in Dongzhou.
No matter what Cao Kang did, he needed money. Without strong financial resources to support him, it would be difficult to do anything in the court.
And it was impossible for him to blatantly do things to make money in Xiazhou.
Otherwise, I am afraid it would be difficult to sit in the position of Da Sima at that time.
So the simplest thing is to use Da Sima's power to arrange for his people to come and go in Dongzhou to make money for him.
This kind of thing itself is a common thing in officialdom.
It won't attract too much attention from others.
Even these county magistrates and even county guards arranged in Dongzhou may be Yang Qian, the former state pastor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. What he acquiesced in was the consensus and cooperation he had reached with Cao Kang before.
Otherwise, why was Dongzhou still able to exist stably even though it didn’t have much military strength before?
After hearing this incident, some of Zhang Bao's previous doubts were solved.
If Cao Kang wants to make money, it is absolutely impossible to just install a county magistrate in Pingyang County, then they will definitely make arrangements for other county magistrates.
According to the news that Fang Fu sent to Zhang Bao, I am afraid that many of the county magistrates who did not have much resistance were Cao Kang's people.
If Zhang Bao didn't know about this.
For them, their presence in Dongzhou is not just as simple as providing money to Cao Kang, but more importantly, every move of Zhang Bao and the others in Dongzhou cannot escape Cao Kang's eyes.
It will even be used by Cao Kang to carry out some follow-up actions in Dongzhou.
If they hadn't discovered it by then, it would have been a disaster for Zhang Bao and Fang Fu.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
Although it took some time to come to Dongzhou this time, the harvest this time is really not small.
While Zhang Bao was chatting with Han Cunguang, the troops Zhang Bao sent to that village also came back.
However, the few people sent at this time were covered in blood.
