The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng, Guo Jia, Xu Huang and the others looked overjoyed for a while when they heard the news from their Jin Yiwei.

The internal strife between the Yuan brothers, no matter who wins or loses in the end, is a good thing for Liu Zheng.

The battle between the two of them must be able to consume each other's strength.

In this way, Yuan Shang, the youngest of the Yuan family brothers, also had the opportunity to join the battle among the three of them.

It's just that before Yuan Shang sent anyone to invite Liu Zheng's soldiers to go to Jizhou to quell the war, the little girl Zhen Dao came here first.

Zhen Dao came to Liu Zheng not for anything else, but to find out about the situation of the Zhen family from Liu Zheng.

Zhen Yao and Zhen Dao didn't know Liu Zheng's identity at this moment. They thought Liu Zheng was just a steward of the Mi family. After sending someone outside to ask to see Liu Zheng, they waited for Liu Zheng to come to see him.

Now Liu Zheng doesn't intend to hide his identity from Zhen Yao, Zhen Dao and others. After all, in today's territory, Liu Zheng doesn't need to hide his identity from them.

"Your Majesty, Zhen Yao, Zhen Dao and others are asking to see you outside."

Pei Yuanshao came in from the outside, and said something to Liu Zheng and others as soon as he came in.

Guo Jia, Tai Shici and others are still here discussing with Liu Zheng when to send troops to deal with the Yuan brothers in Jizhou. ,

Liu Zheng didn't refuse Zhen Yao's visit, but nodded, motioning for Pei Yuanshao to bring them in.

Zhen Dao also came in with his third brother.

Not long after, they walked in, and after seeing Liu Zheng, Zhen Yao took the initiative to say hello to Liu Zheng.

"Brother Mi."

"Brother Zhen, is it a habit to live in Xuzhou recently?"

"I'm used to it. Xuzhou is not far from Jizhou, and I've been traveling outside for many years. I'm used to it. There's nothing I'm not used to.”

Zhen Yao said something to Liu Zheng, but his tone was very polite.

After all, he was under the eaves, so he had to rely on Liu Zheng's care to some extent.For Liu Zheng, it is natural to take the attitude of making friends and try not to offend Liu Zheng.

Besides, Zhen Yao was also from a famous family, and he was well educated since he was a child.Know the rules.

"Exactly. We are discussing matters in Jizhou. Since you are here, I will avoid the process of sending someone to invite you. You can just listen here."

This is the purpose of Zhen Yao's coming here. Now that he heard Liu Zheng say that, his face was overjoyed and he nodded immediately.

"Thank you very much then."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Yao led his younger sister Zhen Dao to the side.

That Zhen Dao, following behind his third brother, did not have any intersection with Liu Zheng, but kept looking at Guo Jia for a few times, and there was a bit of ambiguity in his eyes. .

Just at this time, Guo Jia also saw Zhen Dao, and looked at Zhen Dao's eyes, showing a bit of shyness.

Since this period of time, Zhen Dao and Guo Jia have been familiar with each other because of the previous affairs in Zhen's house. Zhen Dao has no friends in Xuzhou, so he often goes to see Guo Jia, and walks around more often. Instead, people become good friends.

Liu Zheng saw the little thought between Guo Jia and Zhen Dao, but he didn't point it out.

"Dian Wei, continue to talk about the situation in Jizhou."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The situation in Jizhou is not optimistic for Yuan Tan. Yuan Xi's general, Ta Dun, led 3 cavalry with strong strength. After fighting with Zhang He's troops, he repelled Zhang He."

"Although Zhang He still has more than [-] people around Julu, Yuan Tan's other sites are gradually being annexed by Yuan Xi's troops. At this rate, it may not be long before Yuan Tan's sites will be completely destroyed. It fell into Yuan Xi's hands."

"How long do you estimate Yuan Tan will be defeated?"

Regarding the Yuan family brothers, Liu Zheng was actually indifferent to who would win and who would lose. What he wanted to know was how long the two brothers would leave for Liu Zheng's troops to react after the two brothers fought.

"Our Jin Yiwei once said when he came to report the news. According to the current speed, it will take half a year or two months, and Yuan Tan will definitely lose."

"Two months, it seems we still overestimated Yuan Tan."

After Liu Zheng heard Dian Wei's words, the flat expression on his face still seemed a little dark.Originally, he thought that if the struggle between the Yuan family brothers did not last for three to five years, there would be no winner.

Didn't realize it had only been a few months.The situation of the Yuan family brothers in Jizhou is about to become a foregone conclusion. Although the youngest Yuan Shang has not yet participated, once Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi decide the outcome, Yuan Shang, who is the weakest, will naturally not be a problem. After all, he is the least powerful Say one more.

After thinking for a moment in silence.

Liu Zheng looked at Xu Huang again.

"Gongming, what did Yuan Shang say? Did he send someone to urge you to go to Jizhou?"

In the past few days, Liu Zhen's troops were led by Xu Huang and Tai Shici to retreat from Qingzhou to Xuzhou.

Although on the surface he had met Yuan Shangzhi, but without the troops of Xu Huang and Tai Shici, Yuan Shang naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Yuan Shang sent his troops over yesterday, and he seems to have received news from Jizhou that he wants our troops to assist him in the battle of Jizhou."

"Is Yuan Shang ready to make a move? Well, it happens that we also need to solve this matter in Jizhou. Tomorrow, you and Ziyi will lead the army and go with Yuan Shang to calm down the situation in Jizhou."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Zheng didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of Jizhou. After he had a general grasp of the situation, he simply gave some orders to everyone present.

Everyone was very serious, only Zhen Yao, Zhen Dao and others who stood aside were a little dazed and surprised.

Because they seemed to hear something was wrong from the conversation between Liu Zheng and others just now.

Dian Wei, Xu Huang and others actually called Liu Zheng His Majesty.

Isn't His Majesty used to address the emperor?

Although Zhen Yao seemed to have realized something, seeing that Liu Zheng and the others hadn't finished speaking, he didn't dare to interrupt the conversation of Liu Zheng and the others.

Zhen Yao didn't speak until Liu Zheng and everyone present had finished speaking and stopped communicating.

"Then what, brother Mi, just now, they called you Your Majesty? You"

Zhen Yao had already guessed Liu Zheng's identity at this time, but he was not sure, so he asked Liu Zheng, wanting to ask what Liu Zheng's identity was.

But at this time, Liu Zheng smiled and looked at Zhen Yao.

"Calm down, brother Zhen, I'm sorry, I didn't intend to hide from you before. My identity is indeed not the steward of the Mi family. My real name is Liu Zheng!"

Chapter 891 Sending troops to Jizhou

Liu Zheng.

When these two words came out of Liu Zheng's mouth, Zhen Yao was startled.

Zhen Yao naturally understood what the word Liu Zheng meant.

He stood aside, almost unsteadily frightened by the news.

Fortunately, he had vaguely guessed something a long time ago, so he was mentally prepared in advance, so he was not overwhelmed, but he was still surprised for a long time.

On the contrary, Zhen Dao didn't show too much surprise. It seems that Zhen Dao already knew Liu Zheng's identity, or even if she knew Liu Zheng's name, she didn't know. What does the word represent.

"Your Majesty! This Majesty actually went to my Zhen's house in person, I"

Although Zhen Yao understood Liu Zheng's identity, he was still a little incoherent after being surprised for a while. He wanted to say something, but he was so surprised by the news that he couldn't say it.

"I know what you want to say, do you want to ask about the situation of your Zhen family?"

Zhen Yao nodded.

"Don't worry, according to the information I have now, Yuan Xi didn't embarrass your Zhen family. Of course, you will be ridiculed by Yuan Xi for a while. As long as the people of the Zhen family are fine. I have already ordered my men and horses, they will Take care of your Zhen family members as much as possible, once our army kills Jizhou, we will definitely protect your Zhen family members."

Liu Zheng knew what Zhen Yao came to find them for, so at this time he told him everything Zhen Yao wanted to know.

For Zhen Yao, what he wanted to know the most was actually news about the Zhen family. Now that Liu Zheng told him, Zhen Yao was relieved for the time being. I'm curious, but it's hard to ask now.

In the next time, Liu Zheng will still get along with them, so Zhen Yao is not in a hurry.

Although Liu Zheng did not personally participate in the battle in the north in the next period of time, he was sitting in Xuzhou and controlling the battle in the north by remote control.

Tai Shici and Xu Huang's [-] troops quickly went to Linzi from Xuzhou, and after meeting with Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses, Yuan Shang was overjoyed. Together, they formed an army of [-] and went to Jizhou to put down the rebellion of the Yuan brothers.

An army of [-] troops crossed the Yellow River and directly attacked Gaotang County.

Gaotang City, here is already the territory of Jizhou, but because it is in the middle of Pingyuan County and Qinghe County, during the Han Dynasty, it was sometimes under the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County and sometimes under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County.

When Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fought, the war had not yet reached here.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang took the Yellow River as the boundary, and the two sides did not fight, and there were no soldiers stationed on Gaotang's side, so when Tai Shici and Xu Huang led their troops to Gaotang, they did not meet at all. to what obstacle.

It directly occupied Gaotang City.

After defeating Gaotang, the Yuan brothers who were still fighting in Julu realized something was wrong, and their spies also spread the news that Yuan Shang brought Liu Zheng's [-] troops into Jizhou.

The fighting between the Yuan family brothers stopped immediately at this time, and there was a faint idea of ​​uniting to deal with Yuan Shang together.

However, Yuan Shang was not surprised by this, and continued to send Chou, Tai Shici and others to Yecheng.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

After several months of fighting, the situation on the battlefield in Jizhou has become more and more clear.

The army of Chou, Tai Shici and others advanced, and Yuan Xi had to interrupt the battle with Yuan Tan, and dispatched Tadun's soldiers and horses to resist Chou.

However, in the battle between Ta Dun and Chou, with the help of Tai Shici, he directly defeated Yuan Xi's [-] cavalry, forcing Ta Dun to retreat to Yecheng.

Originally, Yuan Xi thought that these troops under his command were enough to fight against Yuan Shang's troops, but in the end, after Ta Dun was defeated, he realized something was wrong.

In the end, Yuan Xi could only retreat from Jizhou with some remnants of Tadun's soldiers.

However, the situation in Jizhou is very chaotic after all. Besides the three brothers of the Yuan family, Liu Bei has been watching it all the time, and it is not so easy to solve it.

Without half a year, it is impossible to calm down.

Liu Zheng didn't stay in Xuzhou too long. He left the palace for a long time, and if he didn't go back, the ministers would probably come to him again.

So Liu Zheng led Guo Jia and others back to the imperial capital of Jianye after Tai Shici and others made the Northern Expedition.

As soon as he returned to Jianye, he received someone sent by Yuan Zhou and others, who told him something important.

Zhou Tai and others captured hundreds of prisoners from the sea.

And this incident is actually related to Yan Baihu.

This made Liu Zheng extremely interested.

As soon as he came back, Zhou Tai and others were immediately summoned to ask what happened.

The court meeting on the second day.

Liu Zheng first listened to some ministers reporting some things that happened during this period. After learning about some recent things, Liu Zheng didn't say much. Most of the things that didn't need to be handled by him were handed over to the cabinet. Work together to solve it.

After he finished talking, he called Zhou Tai out.

"Zhou Tai, I heard that you have already solved the matter of those pirates?"

Zhou Tai stood out from among the officials and stood in front of Liu Zheng.

"Returning to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the last general patrolled the sea for more than a month, and finally found the traces of those pirates in the open sea, so he led his navy to fight those pirates, killed more than [-] pirates, and captured seven. There are more than a hundred people, and now all those captives are being held in the sky prison in Jianye City."

"Okay, very good, you are very satisfied with this matter, and you will be rewarded a lot!"

"By the way, you said earlier that the captured captives said that these pirates are related to Yan Baihu?"

Liu Zheng didn't know what was going on, but he was interested, so he asked Zhou Tai a question.

And Zhou Tai didn't hide it, and immediately played to Liu Zheng, saying that he would bring a prisoner out.

Not long after, a Han captive that Zhou Tai had captured before appeared in Liu Zheng's palace hall.

The prisoner was gone at this time, and the fright that Zhou Tai caught at the beginning was replaced by some calmness, knowing that he would not die now, but he would still perform crimes and meritorious deeds, so he was naturally relieved , as soon as he came to the main hall, he immediately bowed down in a very polite manner, and kowtowed to Liu Zheng.

"Criminal Li Shi, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Liu Zheng knew that Li Shi was a prisoner captured by Zhou Tai, so he was still a little curious about his identity.

"Get up, tell me, why did you join those pirates?"

Chapter 892 Yan Baihu's Drifting Story

"Caomin was originally a commoner in Wu County. Later, because of water thieves, he had no choice but to join Yan Baihu's command. Later, Yan Baihu was defeated in a battle with His Majesty and fled Wu County. Caomin also went to sea with him."

That Li Shi seemed to have known how to answer him a long time ago, so he immediately explained his identity to Liu Zheng.

In this way, everyone present knew his identity, and at the same time, they also thought of Yan Baihu.

Afterwards, the prisoner began to describe what happened to Yan Baihu after he went out to sea from Wu County that day.

It turned out that Yan Baihu led the only remaining troops that day.

After going out to sea from Wu County, I originally thought about going south along the river, because at that time Liu Zheng had already laid down a large territory in Jiaozhou in the south.
