Chapter 8 When a marriage proposal is in danger, a wise man has his own worries

Thief!

Zheng Yi was taken aback and quickly stopped the carriage and ordered his soldiers to guard him.

"I have two hundred soldiers, but the thieves still dare to rob me. This is because I have confidence in my heart."

"There are three roads leading to Ju County. If you go to the left, the road is rugged and easy to set up an ambush. Although the road to the right is twice as long, it is not easy to set up an ambush."

"Um……"

Zheng Ping thought about it for a moment and already had a calculation in his mind.

"Brother, at the intersection ahead, choose the right." Zheng Ping did not panic at all and called Zheng Yi to change direction.

Zheng Yi hesitated and said: "The thieves are planning to ambush the road. They must be greedy for money. Just give them some money."

"If you choose the right route, the distance will be nearly doubled, so why bother?"

When thieves and soldiers rob the road, they usually bully the weak and fear the strong.

For example, if the Zheng family's motorcade is protected by family soldiers, they usually provide money and convenience, so that everyone can live in peace.

After all, they are all hanging around in Qingzhou, so few thieves would form a deadly feud with a powerful family.

"Brother, the world has changed." Zheng Ping shook his head: "Do you still remember what I just said? In the past, thieves only had thirty or fifty people. Today's thieves range from three to five hundred to three to five thousand or even more.

Tens of thousands of people.”

"If we really want to provide money and convenience, these betrothal gifts, including our horses and swords, must be given to the thieves. Or we can hope that the thieves will occasionally be kind."

"Choose the right route. Although the distance is doubled, the risk is smaller."

Zheng Yi didn't take it seriously: "We have two hundred soldiers, all of them are loyal and brave men."

"Weapons are also sharper than those of thieves. Even if you encounter a small group of stupid thieves, you can still defeat them."

"Promising money is a courtesy, not a sign of fear."

Without Zheng Ping, Zheng Yi would have died on the way to rescue when Yuan Tan attacked Kong Rong.

Zheng Ping didn't need to think too much about how he died.

Both Zheng Xuan and Zheng Yi have too much bookishness.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was estimated that we could still win the battle, but times have long since changed.

Soldiers, deceitful ways.

It is difficult for people who are too humble to win.

"Brother, when it comes to marching strategies, you are far inferior to me. Let me command the army." Zheng Ping's tone became more unquestionable: "To deal with traitors, it is not simply about the sharpness of the weapons and the number of people."

Zheng Yi was helpless.

Zheng Ping said this, obviously he was not prepared to argue with Zheng Yi about how to march.

"Scout team, load the crossbows!"

"If you encounter anyone sneaking around within a three-mile radius, shoot and kill!"

Bows and crossbows have always been prohibited among the people.

But the Zheng family was special. When traveling, Zheng Ping made a special trip to borrow ten crossbows from Gaomi Ling Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu also knew that the world was not peaceful nowadays, Zheng Xuan was secretly ordered by Kong Rong to win over Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Ping was likely to become Kong Rong's son-in-law.

Therefore, Wang Xiu not only lent Zheng Ping ten crossbows, but also a hard bow and ten feather arrows.

Zheng Ping distributed ten crossbows to the ten scouts, and the hard bows and arrows were hung on the horses.

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Yi quickly stopped him: "It's a conspiracy. There are also pedestrians on this mountain road. How can we tell that the other party is sneaky?"

"It would be a big mistake to kill virtuous people by mistake!"

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly and said with a certain elegance: "Brother, if there are really virtuous people in Shandao, their reaction when encountering scouts is to avoid them for fear of causing trouble, instead of secretly inquiring about the identity and whereabouts of the scouts."

"The scout team are all veterans of the Zheng family. They don't even have this bit of vision."

"Anyone who dares to peep must be a spy!"

"Don't trust the people you employ, and don't trust the people you suspect. Brother, you don't trust the Zheng family's scouts?"

Zheng Yi wanted to speak but stopped.

If you don't trust them, how dare you hand over the crossbow arrows to the scouts?

There is no need to bend the bow to set up the crossbow arrows. One shot at a close range is accurate and few people can avoid it.

"Can……"

Before Zheng Yi could speak, Zheng Ping gave the scout team a gesture.

Ten veteran scouts from the Zheng family spread out within a three-mile radius to protect them.

Zheng Ping divided the remaining family soldiers into five formations, front, rear, left, center, and center, just like marching on the battlefield.

And on the other side of the official road.

Zongbao, the captain of Beihai, led five hundred county soldiers along the road, and also got information that there were thieves on the mountain road.

Zongbao was not careless.

The thieves in Beihai County were conquered by Zong Baozai after Kong Rong became Prime Minister of Beihai.

Zong Bao is the one who is most aware of the changes in thieves in Beihai County.

"There shouldn't be thieves in this position, right?" Zong Bao was doubtful.

In Beihai County today, there are fewer and fewer thieves in small strongholds, and almost all of them are merging with each other to grow stronger.

Unlike before, thirty or fifty thieves, regardless of gender, old or weak, gathered together to block the road.

"Inquire carefully!" Zong Bao was slightly worried.

The troops were sent out this time to protect Zheng Yi.

If something unexpected happened, Zong Bao, the captain of Beihai, would probably be doomed.

Mountain Road, the middlemost avenue.

Zhang Rao, the Yellow Turban bandit commander, hid five hundred Yellow Turban soldiers.

Zhang Rao was ambitious.

He was unwilling to be a little bandit who might be conquered by county soldiers at any time.

So Zhang Rao lied that he was the nephew of the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao, called himself Qingzhou Qushuai, and began to annex the bandits in Beihai County.

With the help of Kong Rong, Zhang Rao gradually developed from a small stronghold with less than a hundred people at the beginning, and now has a base of ten thousand people.

Among them, there are more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who can come out to rob!

This is not a small force!

The population of some remote small towns may not be as large as that of Zhangrao's stronghold.

But when there were more people, Zhang Rao began to feel worried.

The size of the stronghold is getting larger and larger, and food is becoming more and more scarce.

This time, Zhang Rao found out that Zheng Xuan's son wanted to marry Kong Rong's daughter and was escorting the bride price to Ju County.

Zhang Rao's mind suddenly became alive.

There is food in the North Sea!

Kong Rong was known as the one who kept his wine bottle empty in Beihai.

This wine-making requires grain. If there is not enough grain, how can we make wine?

Zhang Rao is planning to capture Zheng Xuan's son and go to Beihai to blackmail him!

"Report!"

"Shuai Qu, the Zheng family's motorcade turned around and headed east."

There are two updates a day, basically after midnight and around two noon.
