Xingyang City, the old residence of the Zheng family.
Zheng has fifteen people who talked about things, but now there are only nine people sitting here.
The second child was trapped in Chang'an, the eighth and ninth children went to the rescue, the third and fifth children were killed, and the fourth child still does not know whether he is alive or dead.
It can be said that the Zheng family suffered heavy losses.
But for Zheng Yuankui, it seems that the shackles have been removed. Without these people, the family will develop better.
Especially the Laosan family wants to follow Zheng Yi's old path.
I thought my two sons were officials in the court, so I wanted to get close to those people in Guanzhong.
That is seeking death, bringing the entire Zheng family with him to seek death.
At that time, Zheng Yi ignored his dissuasion and married his daughter to Li Jiancheng, hoping to break away from the Shandong gentry and join the Guanlong Group. The result was good, and Li Shimin ascended the throne.
The Zheng family was almost attacked from two sides and died tragically.
Fortunately, he turned the tide, eliminated Zheng Yi from the Zheng family, gave up half of the Zheng family to the five surnames, and gave up half of the Zheng family, thus saving the Zheng family.
This also made the Zheng family the weakest family among the five surnames and seven hopes.
If you still want to hang out with Li Shimin now, you are seeking the skin of a tiger. If you want to be a wealthy noble family, you must stand on the opposite side of the imperial power.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be ruthless and make the third child and the fourth child and the fifth child who followed the third child become cannon fodder, so that their son could stop thinking about it.
"Lao Liu, I leave it to you to mobilize personnel outside the city."
"Little sister, the important task of guarding Xingyang City will be left to you. Listen, you must not be careless. Xingyang City is the last guarantee of my Zheng family."
"The rest of the people perform their duties..."
They are all old people, but in terms of political strategy, these people are very sophisticated and more stable than the younger generations. The younger generations of the Zheng family can only execute the orders of the older generation.
Zheng Yuankui watched everyone leave and slowly stood up.
He looked at the night outside and murmured with a serious face: "This battle must be won..."
To put it mildly, this is a life and death battle between Zheng and Li Shimin.
On a larger scale, this is a game between Guanlong Group and Shandong's wealthy gentry.
And their Zheng family is the pawn in the game.
He knew clearly that he was a pawn of the two major groups, but the Zheng family had to do it. Li Shimin wanted to engage in postal services and cut off their Zheng family's lifeblood.
And the Zheng family is the weakest family among the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. They can only be used as pawns to find out the true and false status of the Guanlong Group.
In this battle, if the people sent by Li Shimin can be killed, the Zheng family will be able to submit a certificate of surrender to the entire Shandong gentry and regain the respect of the wealthy gentry in Shandong.
The wealthy noble families in Shandong, seeing the strength and determination of their Zheng family, will protect his Zheng family without any scruples.
At the same time, he put pressure on Li Shimin to make Guanlong Group make concessions and win papermaking, printing and newspapers.
The Zheng family upgraded the industry, established a postal service, and controlled the lifeblood of Guanlong Group, making Li Shimin a good friend of Shandong's wealthy gentry again.
Therefore, this time he used all Zheng's power without reservation.
There are more than 1,500 dead soldiers, they are all those who survived countless elimination rounds.
It can be said that it is a machine specially used to kill people. Compared with the dead soldier cavalry who died last night, the two are not on the same level.
At the same time, more than 500 talents trained by the family were activated. They were scattered across the country and engaged in all walks of life. Most of them were in politics, the military, and served as staff.
As long as this side wins, Li Shimin will have to give in and the Guanlong Group will have to give in.
He even asked people to contact Tuyuhun and promised to sell their high-quality arms and equipment, causing chaos on the border of Datang.
At this moment, Li Ke had arrived outside the south gate of Xingyang City, twenty miles away, found a high slope, and set up a temporary headquarters.
Although Li Ke's shadows are very capable of gathering information, during Li Yuan's period, they focused on An Chang'an City and Xingyang, and they could only turn a blind eye.
And how could Zheng's true power be easily exposed?
Even Li Shimin, who has been running the secret guards for many years, may not be able to understand the true power of the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Otherwise, Li Shimin would have taken action long ago. How could he have allowed people from the Zheng family to be placed in the military and political circles, or even next to the prince.
In Li Ke's opinion, even if the Zheng family trained dead soldiers, they would only be able to train 500 dead soldiers at most.
He had already tested it out last night, and his fighting power was just that, otherwise he would never prepare for a decisive battle tonight.
Even so, Li Ke, who was afraid of death, still found reinforcements Qu Tuquan.
It also allowed the governor Chen Gan to get rid of the shackles of the chief historian Zheng Ming and regain control of Zhengzhou. At the same time, he led two battalions of troops to Xingyang to clean up the mess.
As time approached, Xingyang became extremely quiet.
Even the dogs nearby no longer dared to bark, and the wild beasts in the mountains and fields were quietly hiding in the grass, listening with their ears pricked up.
They have realized that there will be killings tonight. Those humans are too cruel. I am afraid that they will be beaten by two big guys when they pass by.
"Third Master, I have something to say."
After Yan Pan inspected the area, his intuition told him that there might be a fierce battle tonight. It was so depressing tonight that he felt the same suffocation he felt before the battle.
Li Ke looked at Yan Pan and twitched the corner of his mouth. Could it be that there is danger tonight?
"Lao Yan, you said..."
"Third Master, I feel like there's going to be a fierce battle tonight. I'm afraid Mrs. Zheng has some powerful trump card."
Li Ke thought for a moment and walked back and forth a few times. Yan Pan was known as a dog-nose on the battlefield.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!
Um!
Gotta make sure nothing goes wrong.
"Si She, ask Yin Hu and Yan Yun to come to see me. The attack time will be changed to one hour later."
At the same time, he asked the secret guards to immediately summon nearby members to participate in the battle.
He also sent someone to notify Chen Qian, the governor of Zhengzhou, and asked him to take the entire Zhengzhou combat force and rush to Xingyang as quickly as possible to participate in the battle. Anyone who delays the battle will be killed without mercy.
Soon, Yan Yunda and Yin Hu returned to the rear from the battlefield.
"Yunda, Yinhu, tonight's opponent is not weak. He may be the ace of Zheng's dead soldiers. Let the brothers bring Zhentian Lei and kill a lot of them before attacking."
The two looked at each other, but what they saw last night was so weak?
However, the young master asked them to bring Zhentian Lei, and it seemed that they were really not weak.
They have seen the power of the sky-shaking thunder. If it is buried on the road where those people are supporting them, there will be a bang when they pass by. No matter how powerful they are, they will be devastated on the spot.
Then those people can only quack, and not only can they quack, but they can also kill indiscriminately.
"Never underestimate your opponent at any time, as a proud enemy will be defeated."
"To achieve this, we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the opponent tactically."
Li Ke could see that these two people had been following him so smoothly that they had forgotten to be vigilant. This was not a good thing.
"yes……"
Yan Yunda and Yin Hu were shocked, and they bowed quickly, with cold sweat falling from their foreheads. The young master actually looked at them with murderous eyes.
"Go! I don't want any of you to die in this battle, and I will take you to the northwest to seal the wolf in Xu!"
The two of them went out of the tent and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Si She, tell your people to light the explosives and blow up the Zheng family's old house as soon as possible."
He wanted to kill people, take away Zheng's command center, and leave them leaderless.
It also prevents the old immortals from the Zheng family from escaping.
Cutting weeds without eradicating the roots will bring life to life when the spring breeze blows. Once it escapes this time, it may not be easy to kill it.
Moreover, if the Zheng family has a backbone, the Zheng family's secret agents hidden throughout the Tang Dynasty will be a huge threat.
