Chapter 765: The Ten-Day Covenant
is just a gang of water thieves, not to mention for the current Liu Zheng.
Even Liu Zheng a few years ago would not have taken it seriously at all.
Especially a water thief like Zheng Bao, who only has more than 10,000 people. In Liu Zheng's eyes, he is completely unfashionable.
Liu Zheng didn't care at all, and he casually sent a battalion of soldiers and horses under his command to eliminate these water thieves.
It's just that Liu Zheng doesn't want to waste his time on these water thieves, and these levels are not a mess among the forces under his command, and keeping them can cause some trouble to the imperial court.
However, when Liu Zheng said that he wanted to eliminate these water thieves, Lu Su and Liu Ye did not seem to intend to let Liu Zheng help.
"Your Majesty, these water thieves are not strong, there is no need to bother Your Majesty to do it himself, I just need the adults to give me some time, so that I can destroy them."
Of course, Lu Su knew that with Liu Zheng's move, these water thieves had no chance of surviving at all, but Lu Su and Liu Ye didn't plan to let Liu Zheng make a move, they wanted to solve this problem by themselves.
These water thieves have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses anyway, Lu Su and Liu Ye want to show their skills in front of Liu Zheng, and with only two or three thousand village bravery, these water thieves will be eliminated, so that they can leave some good impressions in front of Liu Zheng, and it can be regarded as a vote.
They didn't want to join Liu Zheng's command like this, but wanted to show their ability in front of Liu Zheng, so that they would be more valued by Liu Zheng under Liu Zheng's command.
When Liu Zheng saw Lu Su say this, he understood what Lu Su was thinking after a little contemplation.
After knowing Lu Su's intentions, Liu Zheng did not refuse.
"Okay, since you want to solve it yourself, then I won't force it to stay, but I won't give them much time, ten days, if you don't break these bandits in ten days, then let my disciple Zhou Yu work with you to eliminate those water thieves, how about it?"
Liu Zheng said to Lu Su, it was not that Liu Zheng deliberately made things difficult for Lu Su, but that Liu Zheng didn't have much time to stay here, he came to inspect the soldiers and horses, and when he came to Zhou Yu, he also had to go to Wenpin and Tai Shici's place.
Can't stay in one place for too long.
After all, there were so many places to go, and he didn't have time to be here for a long, long time, at most ten days.
After Lu Su heard Liu Zheng's words, he immediately pondered for a while and agreed.
"Okay, ten days will be ten days, within ten days, my men and horses will definitely defeat that Zheng Bao!"
"Okay, then I'll go to the Taishi Ci military camp in Huainan first, and after ten days, I'll return here to celebrate your achievements!"
Liu Zheng also took it immediately. After saying a word to Lu Su, Liu Zheng invited Lu Su and Liu Ye to drink together.
After a banquet that was not extravagant, the relationship between Liu Zheng, Lu Su and Liu Ye became a lot closer.
Liu Zheng didn't stay here for a long time, and after separating from Lu Su and Liu Ye, Liu Zheng, as the emperor, inspected Zhou Yu's men and horses, and then set off for Huainan to inspect Tai Shici's men and horses.
After Liu Zheng's men left, Lu Su began to think about how to deal with Zheng Bao.
Zheng Bao, a water thief, is actually not powerful, in the Yangtze River Basin, they are all water thieves who do not enter the stream, and the four major water thieves in the Yangtze River Basin before are all famous big names.
Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiang Erjiao, Pan Lin and others are all powerful big names on this river.
However, Zheng Bao, Xu Gan and others did not dare to come to the Yangtze River basin at all, and generally only mixed in the Huai River water system, and ransacked the nearby people in Hongze Lake and Baima Lake.
Zheng Bao is also a brutal person, he has no principles, and he looted the merchants who came and went, and the wealthy homes of the small county town, so he had a bad reputation in the neighborhood.
It's just that Liu Zheng and the imperial court have been fighting in Xuzhou and Huainan regions, and the war has made a lot of displaced people in this vicinity, so that Zheng Bao can absorb a lot of people in a short period of time and strengthen his own power.
But Zheng Bao's subordinates are only a lot of people, and there are not many people who are really capable of fighting.
"Ziyang, how are we going to deal with that Zheng Bao?"
After returning to Dongcheng, Lu Su quickly asked Liu Ye, Liu Zheng only gave them ten days, relatively speaking, it was still very urgent, and it was not easy to defeat Zheng Bao within ten days.
Liu Ye has also been thinking about this question all the time, and when Lu Su asked, he immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Su.
"Zijing (Lu Su table), we don't have many people, and now we are full, and there are only 3,000 people, compared with that Zheng Bao, it is not a level at all, so we can't force it, we can only outwit it."
"Outwitted? Ziyang has a clever plan? ”
"I can't talk about a clever plan, but I have come up with a way, you can see if it works."
"Come on."
"That Zheng Bao, a water thief, has always wanted to take refuge in the official army and was recruited, but he wants to go to the imperial court, the court doesn't want him, wants to take refuge in Liu Zheng, and is afraid that Liu Zheng will take over his people, we can borrow the name of Lord Liu Zheng and invite him to a banquet, just say that we invite him to discuss the matter of recruiting An, when the time comes, then Zheng Bao will come to the appointment, and he will definitely not bring many people, we will ambush some people in the courtyard and kill him directly!"
"As soon as Zheng Bao dies, there must be no leader in the dragons, and we can destroy his water village without attacking."
Liu Ye is brave and strategic, and the way he thought of was so direct.
After hearing this, Lu Su immediately nodded in praise.
"Clever plan, but Ziyang, we have nothing to do with Liu Zheng, use Liu Zheng's name to invite him, can Zheng Bao be fooled?"
"We have nothing to do with each other, we can graft the name of Zhou Yu's little brother and go to the banquet, then Zheng Bao can still tell clearly, whether we are Liu Zheng's people or not, when others come, if they want to run, they can't help him."
Liu Ye explained again, and as soon as he told Lu Su about the detailed plan, Lu Su immediately nodded and agreed with Liu Ye's plan.
"Okay, then do as you say, let's go down and prepare immediately, I'll gather people, and you go and prepare for a banquet to entertain Zheng Bao."
"Well, three days later, just go according to plan!"
Lu Su and Liu Ye quickly discussed a plan to deal with Zheng Bao.
At the moment, Lu Su went to arrange all these villagers summoned by Dongcheng, and according to what Liu Ye described, all of them were hidden in a courtyard, some of them dressed up as subordinates, and half of them changed into military uniforms similar to Liu Zheng, making a fake army camp.
The time of three days was soon up, and they sent someone to send a message to Zheng Bao, hoping that Zheng Bao would come to the banquet.
