"Okay, you tell him that we are going to take a road through Huizhou and go to Wuyi County to exterminate the Japanese."
"Encircle and suppress the Japanese who appear along the way and see what their attitude is."
Zhang Bao said to Fang Fu.
Now that we have already reached this point, we cannot let the Japanese go.
"Yes, sir!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
Fang Fu nodded.
"Wait a moment. Recently, I also inquired about Dongzhou, but I didn't find many shipbuilding craftsmen."
"If you do this, use your status as a state shepherd to find me a group of boat-making craftsmen, even those who have built a small boat!"
Fang Fu was about to go out when Zhang Bao called him back.
"A shipbuilder?"
"Sir, are you planning to build a ship?"
Fang Fu asked in surprise.
"right!"
"If we want to completely eliminate the Japanese, we must eradicate them, and of course we have to use boats."
"I would like to know to what extent the shipbuilding situation in Dongzhou has reached now."
Zhang Bao nodded.
"yes!"
"Then I'll ask someone to find him right away."
Although Fang Fu didn't know what Zhang Bao was going to do, he still nodded.
As soon as Zhang Bao returned to their mansion in Sunan County, Xixue rushed out of the house with an anxious look on her face.
When I started running, there was a rough wave in front of me.
"What's wrong?"
"So panicked?"
Zhang Yang asked Xixue.
"There is news from Hezhou that Cao Kang is dead!"
Xixue lowered her voice and said to Zhang Bao.
"Um?"
"Walk!"
Zhang Bao didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed Xixue into the house.
Xixue handed Zhang Bao a message from Hezhou.
Zhao Gao sent it back to Zhang Bao. It wrote in detail about their assassination of Cao Kang in Xiazhou during this period, as well as the final conclusion.
Since the last time Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry were stopped by Bai Wei, they had gone through many inquiries, and even used Zheng Kongqing from Zheng Bao Bank, and finally got the news that Cao Kang had been poisoned.
The person commanding now is Grand Sima Cao De.
Moreover, the capital, which had been closed for nearly a month, could no longer hold on and was finally released.
The people of Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry couldn't wait to send back the news.
When Ma Yaner found out, she immediately sent people to deliver it to Dongzhou Zhang Bao without stopping.
"I didn't expect that the men of Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry actually succeeded."
"This incident is a bit unexpected. If Cao Kang died, these recent actions would be easy to understand. It must be Cao Kang's counterattack after his death."
Zhang Bao was very happy.
"Zhang Bao, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter."
"To be honest, I know Cao Kang better than you do. Although this person sometimes seems to be at a disadvantage or even lose his mind, he is indeed a very powerful person and a person who refuses to admit defeat."
"Over the years, I don't know how many people have tried to assassinate him, but they have failed. I don't really believe it."
Xixue frowned and said.
In fact, what Xixue felt the first time she got the letter was not joy, but worry.
In her opinion, this was probably Cao Kang's fake death.
After all, no one on Zhang Bao's side knows Cao Kang better than she does.
"You mean, the news that Cao Kang was poisoned is false?"
"But this is the news sent by Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry and Taohua Pavilion, and it has been confirmed by Zheng Bao Bank. There should be no problem."
Hearing Xixue's words, Zhang Bao did not completely deny it, but frowned and thought about it.
"They didn't see Cao Kang's body with their own eyes, right?"
Xixue asked Zhang Bao.
"No!"
"Judging from the results, they concluded that Cao Kang was dead because of the layout inside the palace, the recent adjustments to the court meeting, and Zheng Kongqing's prying."
"After all, Cao Kang is in the palace. It is difficult for them to confirm on the spot."
Zhang Bao pointed to the content on the letter and said.
"The layout of the palace only requires an order from Cao Kang. Now the palace is sealed. Outsiders cannot enter or get out. No one knows the specific situation."
"The adjustment of the court meeting is even more like this. Since Cao Kang wants to fake his death, this kind of thing is completely normal."
"As for Zheng Kongqing of Zheng Bao Bank, I don't trust anyone in the capital."
Xixue slowly said to Zhang Bao.
"You mean, Zheng Kongqing was also captured by Cao Kang?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
After all, Zheng Kongqing was actually on Zhang Bao's side.
When the little emperor was stolen from the capital, it was thanks to Zheng Kongqing's help. If he had been Cao Kang's man, Zhang Bao and the others might not have come out so easily.
"Zhang Bao, you don't know if you're not in the capital."
"This capital is different from other places."
"He has his own unique set of survival rules, and I think the reason why Cao Kang knew about the relationship between Zhengbao Bank and us, but still kept Zhengbao Bank, is probably waiting for this time."
Xixue said to Zhang Bao.
"I know, according to what you said, it is indeed a bit strange."
"Whether Cao Kang is really dead or a conspiracy, we will treat this matter as a conspiracy. In this case, there will be no problems."
"And now Cao Kang and the others have launched a full-scale attack, but the news has not been revealed. It is obvious that they deliberately gave us the news, hoping that we would let our hands and feet go free to fight."
"What he was worried about before was that we kept our heads down and kept going. As long as we get anxious, there may be follow-up measures."
"If you think about it this way, it is indeed Cao Kang's style."
"Since he hopes so much, let's just follow his plan."
"I will write a few letters right now, and you can arrange for reliable people to send them to Fan Hanzhong, Zhao Sunlong, Prince Jing and Huang Chenzhi."
Zhang Bao started writing as he spoke.
"I'll go right away!"
Xixue also became Zhang Bao's helper along the way, contacting all aspects of things.
"Xixue."
When Xixue took the letter and was about to run out, she was stopped by Zhang Bao.
"What's wrong?"
"Anything else to look out for?"
Xixue stopped and asked.
"no."
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise, I might not think so much."
"It's good to have you here!"
Zhang Bao smiled at Xixue and said.
