The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

So I agreed.

"Alright, anyway, I'm not familiar with Yichun County, so please invite Mr. Yuan Zhou to take me for a walk in Yichun County."

"That's no problem. I'm just a mere kid, but I also grew up in Yichun County, and I'm fairly familiar with the county."

Yuan Zhou quickly agreed, got off the boat, counted people together, and started walking past the gate of Yichun County.

Yichun County is not big, only about ten miles away.It lives along the river, and there is a hill on the opposite side of the river bank. Because Yuan Jing was buried here, it is also called Yuanshan. The Yuan clan lives near this Yuanshan.

Although Yichun County belongs to Yuzhang County, it is far away from the seat of Yuzhang County, and there are few contacts, but there is a road leading to Changsha County, and many merchants come and go, which makes Yichun's business develop well.

There are also many restaurants and inns, and Yuan Zhou is very familiar with this area, leading Liu Zheng to the largest restaurant very quickly.

"This Chunfengju is the largest restaurant in Yichun County, and it is quite famous nearby. It is also fate to meet Liu Zhengqushuai today. I am the host, and I invite you to have a drink, please."

Yuan Zhou led Liu Zheng up the two-story building.

Liu Zheng didn't say much here, and let Xu Huang, Zhou Cang and others go up first.

Everything was arranged by Yuan Zhou, and soon they were sitting in a private room.

A jug of water and wine was served, and Liu Zheng looked at the cloudy liquid in the glass, and if he really said it was a bar, it could be regarded as it.

After all, he has some alcohol content, but it is not high. After taking a sip, the taste is a little strange, with an indescribable feeling, a little bitter, a little sweet, which can be lingered in the mouth after swallowing.

In ancient times, when there were no drinks and alcoholic beverages, a glass of such alcoholic beverages could only be used as comfort.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou, don't talk too much. Since you invited us here, let's open up and speak up. Ou Xing asked you to come to me. Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Zheng knew that Yuan Zhou must have a purpose when he came here. As for whether the purpose was Ou Xing or something else, it is not known.

Yuan Zhou picked up the wine glass, didn't speak, just took a sip of what was in the glass.

"Actually, it's not all Ou Xing's intention that I came to look for Shuai Qu this time."

"Oh?"

Liu Zheng was still waiting for Yuan Zhou to talk about Ou Xing's purpose, but what Yuan Zhou didn't expect was that Yuan Zhou actually said that it wasn't all because of Ou Xing that he came to Liu Zheng.

"Since Mr. Yuan Zhou didn't come for Ou Xing, why did he come?"

"Before answering Liu Zhengqushuai's question, I want to ask Liu Zhengqushuai, what kind of person do you think Ou Xing is?"

After Yuan Zhou finished speaking Liu Zheng's question, not only did he not answer Liu Zheng, but instead asked Liu Zheng a question.

Liu Zheng looked at Yuan Zhou for a while, and really didn't know what Yuan Zhou's intention was. Even Huang Zhong, Su Fei, Xu Huang and others looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise at this moment, although they didn't ask, But they were all waiting for Yuan Zhou to say something.

Liu Zheng pondered for a moment, thinking about the intention of Yuan Zhou's words, but he didn't want Yuan Zhou to wait too long, so he could only answer the most sincere thoughts in his heart to Yuan Zhou at this time.

"Ou Xing is not a big shot, he has no ambitions, is arrogant, and can't achieve great things. I don't like him, and I don't want to be with him!"

Although Liu Zheng only met Ou Xing once, and did not even say more than ten sentences, this is the impression that Ou Xing gave Liu Zheng.

However, Yuan Zhou was not angry at Liu Zheng's belittling of Ou Xing, but a smile appeared on his face.

"What Liu Zheng Qushuai said is similar to what I see."

When Yuan Zhou said this, Liu Zheng laughed.

"Hehe, Mr. Yuan Zhou, you can also say that. You are from that district star. I say it's okay. If you say that Ou star heard it, wouldn't you annoy that district star?"

"Ou Xing is a person with no ambitions. If I didn't see how strong he is, how could I condescend to him, but even with my help, Ou Xing would not dare to attack the couch, so that he can take a chance to rise .”

Chapter 154 Surrender

"Oh? What a good opportunity to rise?"

"This was half a year ago, when the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou had just revolted. At that time, Zhang Jiao raised the uprising banner in Julu, and the whole world responded immediately. The entire Han Dynasty and the thirteen prefectures actively responded to Zhang Jiao's uprising. At that time, I also persuaded Ou Xing launched an uprising and attacked the city."

"At that time, the imperial court was delayed by the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, and the army gathered in the direction of Jizhou. They had no time to take care of the vicinity of Changsha County where Ou Xing was located. Taking Changsha County with Ou Xing's strength at that time was simply a breeze."

"It's a pity that Ou Xing is too timid and lacks ambition. He missed the opportunity and didn't respond to Zhang Jiao's uprising in the first place. As a result, even if he wants to revolt, he can't attack Changsha now. After all, Zhang Jiao's uprising now After being annihilated, the imperial army will recover, and if they go to attack Changsha, they will definitely be surrounded by the imperial army."

When Yuan Zhou said these words to Liu Zheng, there was still a trace of regret on his face.

When Liu Zheng heard these things mentioned by Yuan Zhou, he also agreed in his heart.

Ou Xing originally planned to fight against the imperial court. In history, Ou Xing launched an uprising two years after the fall of the Yellow Turban Uprising and captured Changsha County.

As a result, Sun Jian was appointed by the imperial court to defeat and behead him, and he died in less than a month.But if he can launch an offensive at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising two years in advance, and launch attacks on Changsha, Guiyang, and other places.

It must not be the result now.At that time, the imperial court had exhausted a large number of troops to deal with Zhang Jiao's uprising army, and there were not many troops to fight against other uprising troops.

What Ou Xing had to face was nothing more than some soldiers from Changsha County and brave men temporarily recruited by various counties.

That kind of pressure will be much less.It's a pity that it still didn't succeed after all. Maybe Ou Xing felt that he didn't have enough strength now, or maybe Zhang Jiao had already lost before he had time to start the uprising.

After all, in this small place of Yichun, the news is not well-informed. The news about Zhang Jiao's uprising in February may only reach here in April, and if Ou Xing takes action, it will definitely take a month or two to prepare.

By July and August, Zhang Jiao's uprising had already failed, and it was conceivable that Ou Xing was also helpless.

"Ou Xing can't accomplish great things, even with the assistance of Mr. Yuan Zhou. It is conceivable that he is also a person with little ambition."

After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Liu Zheng also said something to Yuan Zhou, intending to belittle Ou Xing.

"Yeah, originally I had no choice. After all, in the vicinity of Yichun, Ou Xing is the only one who has some strength and can make things happen. But now it's different, Liu Zhengqu is handsome, you are here!"

Yuan Zhou changed the subject and immediately brought the topic to Liu Zheng.

"Huh? Mr. Yuan Zhou, what do you mean by that?"

When Liu Zheng heard Yuan Zhou's words, he immediately became interested, frowned slightly, looked at Yuan Zhou, and didn't understand what he meant by saying that, although Liu Zheng had already faintly felt that Yuan Zhou seemed to have some plans , but before he knew his detailed plan, Liu Zheng couldn't make a statement.

So I can only wait for Yuan Zhou to continue speaking and speak clearly.

"Although the Yellow Turban Uprising failed, I know that Liu Zhengqu Shuai, you must not die in your heart, and you still want to overthrow the imperial court. Your coming to Yichun is just a stopgap measure. If there is a chance, you will definitely start an incident, and Ou Xing is not Ming Lord, Commander Liu Zhengqu is stronger than Ou Xing, I don't know how many times stronger, if there is Commander Liu Zhengqu commanding Ou Xing's troops, he will definitely be able to conquer Changsha, and even Jingzhou."

What Ou Xing said made Liu Zheng slightly understand what this guy was thinking. It turned out that he didn't act as a lobbyist for Ou Xing, but came to negotiate with Liu Zheng and Ou Xing. Liu Zheng started an incident, and he came to surrender to Liu Zheng.

It's just that such a surrender is not very credible to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng didn't agree immediately, but just smiled and looked at Yuan Zhou.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou thinks too highly of me. Now all the yellow scarves in the world have been wiped out. Although there are still some remnants struggling, the imperial army is too strong. It is only a matter of time before the rebellions are wiped out. Even I will not be here." Acting rashly at this time."

"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, so you will still fight against the court?"

"I can't talk about going against the imperial court. My goal is to give the common people a bright future, so that there will be no corrupt officials in this world, so that there will be no rich and powerful nobles in this world, and everyone will be equal!"

Liu Zheng briefly described his philosophy to Yuan Zhou, and Yuan Zhou immediately looked in awe.

"That's enough. Compared to Ou Xing, Liu Zheng and Qu Shuai are the masters. If Liu Zheng and Qu Shuai are willing, I can switch to Qu Shuai's sect and help Qu Shuai take down Mingyue Village!"

Yuan Zhou could see that Liu Zheng came to Yichun just because he wanted a place to live and live, and when he found Shang Ou Xing, he probably fell in love with Ou Xing's anti-land. It's not that difficult anymore.

And after Liu Zheng and Ou Xing met, they also planned to use force to seize the control of Mingyue Mountain. Now that Yuan Zhou said so, the two hit it off.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou is really willing to help me?"

"Naturally, as long as Qu Shuai promises me one thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"In the future, if Shuai Qu's rebellion succeeds, I will ask Shuai Qu to hand over the fourth generation and third father's Yuan family to me!"

Originally, Liu Zheng still had some doubts about Yuan Zhou's taking refuge in him, but after Yuan Zhou said his request, Liu Zheng felt relieved about Yuan Zhou's sudden taking of refuge.

People don't do things for no reason. Yuan Zhou came to rely on him for a purpose. This purpose is the Yuan family in Runan. He Yuan Zhou is a member of the Yuan family, but the Yuan family in Runan is not It was a big blow to Yuan Zhou to admit their next of kin.

I want to prove to the Yuan family that their Yichun Yuan family is no worse than the Runan Yuan family.

But if you want to rely on being an official, the Yuan family in Yichun is not as good as the Yuan family in Runan. After all, the Yuan family in Runan has been in business for nearly a hundred years, and the efforts of several generations have a great say in the court.

The Yuan family in Yichun is just a small county tyrant, and they are very different, so the only feasible way is to fund some anti-imperial forces in an attempt to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Only in this way can the Yuan family in Yichun reach the sky in one step, occupy a high position, and step on the Yuan family in Runan.

For this purpose, Yuan Zhou in history would mix with Ou Xing, but now with the appearance of Liu Zheng, Yuan Zhou has a new choice.

Liu Zheng naturally understood this, and did not object to Yuan Zhou's surrender.

Chapter 155 Plan

Now that he has accepted Yuan Zhou's surrender, Liu Zheng will naturally treat Yuan Zhou as one of his own.

And Yuan Zhou was also very knowledgeable, and immediately described to Liu Zheng how to solve Ou Xing's problem at this time.

"My lord, if your guess is correct, you must have come down from Mingyue Mountain this time with the intention of gathering troops to storm Mingyue Mountain and capture Ou Xing, right?"

Liu Zhengzheng was going to talk about this matter with Yuan Zhou, but when he heard Yuan Zhou asking about it, he was curious and nodded immediately.

"That's right, after a few conversations with Ou Xing in Mingyue Mountain, he knew that this person could not negotiate peace, so he simply decided to leave, directly sent his troops to Mingyue Mountain, and stormed Ou Xing's Mingyue cottage!"

Now that Yuan Zhou had already taken refuge in him, Liu Zheng had nothing to hide from Yuan Zhou, so he told Yuan Zhou of his plan to be courteous first and then soldier.

But Yuan Zhou smiled lightly after listening, and immediately responded to Liu Zheng.

"With my lord's strength and [-] troops, it is not impossible to storm Mingyue Mountain Stronghold. Although I am very sure that I can take down Mingyue Mountain Stronghold and kill Ou Xing and others, the terrain of Mingyue Mountain is steep and it is extremely difficult to march. It consumes manpower, material resources, time, etc., and it will definitely lose a lot of its own soldiers and horses."

"Although the star in that area is not very strong, Liu Zhen, who occupies a favorable geographical position, understands and asks Yuan Zhou humbly.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou said that there must be a way to break the stars in this area and break into Mingyue Village. Please enlighten me."

Liu Zheng's humble question greatly satisfied Yuan Zhou's vanity. He wanted to say that he would say it no matter whether Liu Zheng asked or not. Fan, so that Liu Zheng will not underestimate him.

So after Liu Zheng finished asking, Yuan Zhou did not refuse, and immediately began to explain to Liu Zheng.

"My lord, a strong attack is worse than a wise one. In a few days, when the magistrate of Yichun County wants to send tax money to Yuzhang County, with Ou Xing's character, he will definitely lead people to intercept and rob. At that time, Mingyue Village will have the most troops." When it's empty."

"You mean to take advantage of the time when Mingyue Mountain is empty of troops, I will lead people to attack Mingyue Village?"

After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Liu Zheng immediately asked.

But Yuan Zhou shook his head and continued.

"No, no, my lord, you can take people to Ou Xing to snatch the tax money escorted by Yichun county magistrate, and wipe out all Ou Xing's troops while they are robbing. After the core soldiers and horses of Ou Xing are eliminated, go to capture Mingyue Village. You can take down the entire Mingyue Village and eliminate Ou Xing at the same time."

"If we do this, we can not only achieve our goal, but also protect the Yichun county magistrate from sending tax money to the Yuzhang County government office, and even pay the Yichun county magistrate well."

"The most important move here is to make friends with the magistrate of Yichun County."

Yuan Zhou told Liu Zheng his plan in detail, Liu Zheng was slightly surprised after hearing this, and immediately spoke again.

"Why is the most important move to make friends with Yichun county magistrate?"

"My lord doesn't know that the Yichun area is actually located in a remote area. Not only bandits are rampant, but more Shanyue thieves are often haunted. The people here are often troubled by these, which makes Yichun county magistrate a headache. The Yichun county magistrate has made friends with local Shanyue leaders for a long time. It means that Naihe Ouxing acted arrogantly and never gave the magistrate of Yichun a good look."

"Don't make friends with the county magistrate, so that the county magistrate and the district star often have bad relations, and the two sides are not happy."

"Thinking about it from another angle, if the lord can make good friends with the county magistrate, the lord will help the county magistrate to maintain the law and order in Yichun County, reduce the crimes of bandits and bandits, and the Yichun county magistrate will exempt the lord from the tax burden, and at the same time protect the lord. The hiding of the body in Yichun County and the combination of officials and bandits will definitely be of great help to the lord's great affairs."

After hearing Yuan Zhou's words, Liu Zheng suddenly realized, and immediately praised Yuan Zhou.

"Sir is really a great talent, what he said is very true, although I may not be afraid of this Yichun county magistrate, but it would be a good thing if we can live in peace with him."

Liu Zheng really doesn't pay attention to a mere Yichun county magistrate, after all, a small county like Yichun.I'm afraid that the number of soldiers and horses they have is no more than 2000.Counting some people like Xiangyong who can be improvised, there will never be more than 5000 people.

For a small county like this, Liu Zheng could easily take it down, but if he lived in peace with the county magistrate.Liu Zheng was hiding in the Yichun area, and the magistrate of Yichun County covered up his existence.

Both sides benefit.Liu Zheng can temporarily recuperate here and hide his tracks, and the magistrate of Yichun County can greatly improve the law and order in Yichun County because of Liu Zheng's existence.At the same time create a good political performance.Why not do it?

"It seems that the lord agreed to my plan?"

After Yuan Zhou saw that Liu Zheng praised his plan, he became interested.

"Well, no problem, everything is as you said, implemented according to your plan, as long as you can defeat Ou Xing and occupy Mingyue Village, these are not problems."

"Since that's the case, then it's best to discuss this matter with the Yichun county magistrate in advance. If my lord can reach a consensus with the county magistrate in advance, the two sides can plan together to defeat Ou Xing. It's just a matter of hand."

"No problem, it's just that the county magistrate of Yichun is willing to cooperate with us?"

Although it is only a small county magistrate, he is an official after all, but Liu Zheng abandoned his identity as the Yellow Turban Army at this time. Will work with him.

"You can rest assured about this lord. My Yuan family has been operating in Yichun for decades, and I still know Yichun quite well. The new Yichun county magistrate, named Lu Jun, has visited my father in the early years, and I also It's a good relationship, if I come forward, I will definitely be able to invite the county magistrate to come and talk."

Yuan Zhou boasted that he went to Haikou, saying that the county magistrate could be found, and Liu Zheng immediately realized that perhaps today they could finalize their discussions here.

"Well, it's better to hit the sun than choose the day. Today you go and invite the county magistrate here, and we will finalize the matter of dealing with Ou Xing here."

Liu Zheng's order immediately made Yuan Zhou get up.

"Then please wait here for one or two, my lord, and I will go to see the county magistrate in person."

"It's okay, I have a lot of time anyway, so it doesn't matter if I wait here for a while."
