If Lu Bu had been assisted by the great counselor Chen Gong according to the trajectory of history, the outcome of the Hongnong War would have been rewritten.
Unfortunately, everything didn't work out. Lu Bu was completely locked in Hongnong territory by Zhang Ji, and not even a single soldier was able to support Sili.
With Kong Rong's pitiful two or three seedlings and crooked melons and 40,000 to 50,000 bad jujube soldiers in Sili territory, Guo Jia could overthrow Sili within two months as long as he sent his troops south with a handful of garlic in hand.
Once the Sili area centered on Luoyang falls into Lin Feng's hands, two heavyweights will be added to the list of opponents adjacent to his territory.
Dong Zhuo of Xiliang has strong soldiers and horses. Although his territory is not large and he only occupies most of Liangzhou, he has plundered Luoyang and Chang'an, two of the richest cities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The princes of Lu joined forces to give Dong Zhuo a fat beating, extinguishing the small flame of Dong Zhuo's ambition, and the famous Grand Master Dong would no longer cower in Xiliang and not think about making progress.
The nine counties of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou have a mild climate, abundant sunshine and abundant water. They were originally a land of plenty. The northern areas were affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and a large number of refugees went south. Therefore, Liu Biao of Jingzhou took advantage of the situation to rise. In recent years, it has developed rapidly, and its military strength is no less than that of Dong Zhuo.
.It is a pity that there are no horses in the Jingxiang area. The powerful Jingzhou army can dominate the rivers and lakes, but it is difficult to dominate the northern plains.
Both Dong Zhuo and Liu Biao have their own shortcomings that are irreparable. Lin Feng believes that they are not enough to become obstacles to unify the Han Dynasty.
Not to mention how Lin Feng, who has already made up his mind, will conquer the Qiao family.
In the compound of the deep residence of the Zhou family, the first family in Wan County, Zhou Kun, the head of the Zhou family, and Duan Cong, the head of the Duan family, sit opposite each other.
"I didn't expect Qiao Zheng to be so lucky. Originally, the Zhang brothers were about to succeed, but someone intervened. Not only did Qiao Zheng escape with his life, but even Baodu Village was burned to the ground."
Duan Cong's face was full of disbelief. As soon as he got the news, he hurriedly came to Zhou Kun to discuss the next step.
Zhou Kun smiled coldly: "Don't worry, the Qiao family is very lucky, but it will only last for a while."
Duan Cong showed an impatient look on his face: "Brother Zhou, you promised me that even if you can't kill all the Qiao family, you will drive them completely out of Wan County, so that my Duan family is the only one in Wan County.
Dominate."
Zhou Kun reached out and tapped the table a few times: "No need for Brother Duan to remind me, I will definitely do what I promised. My Zhou family was originally the largest family in Runan County after the Yuan family. I came here before
The purpose of establishing a foothold in Anhui County is to temporarily avoid disaster. Now that the Yuan family is gradually withering away and embarking on a downward path, it is a great opportunity for my Zhou family to return to Runan and regain their ancestral land."
Having said this, Zhou Kun looked up at Duan Cong and said: "Brother Duan, if it weren't for our two families secretly getting married, why would my Zhou family be a villain and secretly plot against the Qiao family? Don't worry, the Zhou family
You have no idea about the power that lies beneath the surface of the water."
Duan Cong squinted his eyes, and the expression on his face was indescribably weird: "Thank you very much, Brother Zhou. As long as the Zhou family is willing to help the Duan family drive the Qiao family out of Wan County, then I will definitely give you what I promised Brother Zhou."
I will serve it with both hands as promised."
Only then did Zhou Kun smile with satisfaction: "That's very good. Brother Duan, just go home and wait for the news."
Duan Cong stood up, bowed his hand to Zhou Kun, and left without looking back.
Zhou Kun looked at Duan Cong's back, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and under the mottled sunlight outside the window, his expression became more and more ferocious.
Qiao Qing settled Qiao Zheng, watched Qiao Zheng close his eyes and gradually fell asleep, then stood up and ordered his servants to take care of the young master, then turned and left Qiao Zheng's small courtyard.
As soon as I walked to the door of the courtyard, I saw a strong young man leaning on the door of the courtyard without being humble or arrogant, with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking at him with a smile on his lips.
Qiao Qing looked the young man up and down and found that he did not recognize this person.
"Who are you?"
Lin Feng moved away from the door leaf he was leaning on with a slight force on his waist and abdomen, stood up straight and raised his hands to Qiao Qing: "But the head of the Qiao family is in person?"
Qiao Qing immediately understood that this person was not from the Qiao family, but probably from the group of Jianghu rangers that Qiao Zheng had mentioned to him.
"It's the old man. I wonder who you are?"
"My surname is Lin. The master of the house can call me Lao Lin. I wonder if I can take a step to talk to the master of the house in detail?"
Qiao Qing felt a little strange. This old Lin seemed to be a little different from the rangers he had interacted with in daily life.
But what exactly is different, I can't say.
"Okay, since Brother Lin is interested, please come with me."
Qiao Qing brought Lin Feng into a quiet room. After sitting down, Lin Feng refused Qiao Qing's offer of tea and said straight to the point: "Master Qiao, there are many doubts about the battle at Baodu Village. I wonder if the Qiao family has any countermeasures."
?”
Qiao Qing was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Brother Lin is joking. The Qiao family doesn't have much ambition. All the previous things were just for self-protection. Therefore, the Qiao family has never made enemies with anyone in the past hundred years. Since
If you don’t have enemies, how can you deal with them?”
Lin Feng curled his lips and said, "It's boring to say that. Head of the Qiao family, I am very sincere. From the incident in Baodu Village, we can easily deduce that someone is secretly plotting against your Qiao family. If the Qiao family is confident of dealing with it, then
If I don't say anything, I will lead my brothers to say goodbye and leave tomorrow."
Qiao Qing smiled awkwardly: "No, no, Zheng'er's injury has not healed. If I knew you were leaving, you would have to complain to me. Brother Lin had better wait for Zheng'er's injury to recover before leaving Qiao's house."
Chi, I, the Qiao family, are not ungrateful people, and I will definitely make your stay at the Qiao family satisfactory."
How could Lin Feng play language and word games with Qiao Qing? He slapped the table and stood up:
"Old Qiao, Old Qiao, don't think that I'm helping your family so much because I want something from your Qiao family. To be honest, your Qiao family's bottles and jars are really not in Lin's eyes. In fact, you yourself don't
I know very well that if I hadn't come to the rescue, it would be very difficult for Qiao Zheng to escape from Baodu Village. If Baodu Village were to let Baodu Village kill all the Qiao family's thousands of team members and Qiao Zheng, you can imagine the fate of your Qiao family.
Know."
Sweat started to fall on Qiao Qing's forehead. What Lin Feng said was not complicated. How could he not imagine that he was so cunning.
But the Qiao family's arrogance couldn't fall down. He didn't want Lin Feng to see it. At this time, the Qiao family had reached the edge of the cliff.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng didn't give him this face at all, and just spread everything out, which caught him off guard. At the same time, he was worried that Lin Feng would take the opportunity to open his mouth wide and gnaw the Qiao family to pieces.
"Brother Lin is joking, my Wan County has always been upright and peaceful, how come there are so many intrigues..."
Before Qiao Qing could finish speaking, Lin Feng turned around and left without giving him a chance to react.
How could Qiao Qing dare to let Lin Feng leave like this? The Qiao family's crisis was indeed imminent. It could be said that Lin Feng and this group of unknown rangers who suddenly appeared were the last ray of life-saving light.
"Brother Lin, please stay."
Qiao Qing rushed up and grabbed Lin Feng's back collar, looking at Lin Feng pitifully, looking like an aggrieved Jingba.
Lin Feng turned around and held out two fingers: "One condition, if you agree, I will help you wipe out Wan County. If you don't agree, I will take my brothers and leave tomorrow. What does the life and death of the Qiao family have to do with me?"
Qiao Qing looked at Lin Feng's two fingers and asked doubtfully: "One condition?"
"One condition."
Qiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that little brother Lin didn't know how to count, so this was easy to handle.
"What are the conditions? Tell me."
Qiao Qing had already quickly calculated the Qiao family's fortune in her mind, and was ready to be bitten off a large piece by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng chuckled: "Two unmarried daughters from the Qiao family will be my concubines, and I will give them to Wan County as a betrothal gift."
Qiao Qing's eyes bulged out of her sockets: "That's it?"
Lin Feng nodded: "That's it, but I need to choose the daughter of the Qiao family personally, and it cannot be decided by the Qiao family."
In these days, the daughters of most families do not have much status. If the family encounters a crisis, it can be solved by marrying off the girls in the family. Then 100% of the families will happily dress up their daughters beautifully and give them away overnight.
I go out for fear that the other party will regret it.
Qiao Qing immediately opened her fingers and raised her palms to Lin Feng: "Okay! You and I have made an agreement. If you can really help the Qiao family control more than 90% of the trade routes in Wan County, I will personally take you to choose all the trade routes in the Qiao family.
