Chapter 14 Coping, Preparation

As Zhao Zhenglai, who is familiar with China's 5000-year history, he is all too familiar with such dramas as the battle for succession.

Historically, it seems to have become a kind of inertia to fight for the inheritance of family property, from the emperor's family to the common people's family.

If Zhao Xuan's accident is true, then all this can be explained.

Although Yunzhou is still under the administration of the Yanlong Dynasty on the surface, and the candidates for the state shepherd still need to be dispatched by the government, but in fact, the power of the central government will be greatly reduced when it comes to Yunzhou, and the army in Yunzhou is directly under the state shepherd.

Now that Emperor Yan died, and the new emperor was not in power, the court was in chaos, and there was no time to take care of the states.

If Zhao Xuan also died at this time, and Zhao Zheng, the eldest son, was also killed by bandits, then Zhao Xing's superior Yunzhou Shepherd would definitely become popular.

Then Zhao Xing quickly took control of Yunzhou. When the new emperor came to power and dealt with the mess of the former emperor, Zhao Xing realized that Zhao Xing had completely secured his position in Yunzhou.

At that time, the tail is too big to lose, and the court will either officially seal Zhao Xing as the state shepherd, or crusade against Zhao Xing.

With the new emperor ascending the throne, it is unlikely that a crusade will happen, and the problem is definitely not limited to Yunzhou.

This is the prerequisite for Yan to be able to stay stable and the new emperor to ascend the throne smoothly. If Yan can't be stabilized, or other states rebel, and a chaotic world begins, then Zhao Xing controls Yunzhou, and with the support of the Wang family, it is possible to fight for a Fight for fate!
In any case, the current situation is very unfavorable to Zhao Zheng!

As his eldest son, Zhao Xing was still unable to justifiably rise to the top position.

"Zhao Xing or the Wang family should know that I am not dead soon, and will definitely find other ways to kill me. I have to be prepared!"

"In addition, there is an urgent need to know the situation about Yandu and the other seventeen states."

"And is it sure that father Zhao Xuan is alive or dead?"

Ding Ping came out of the dungeon, he had squeezed out all the remaining value of Ji Gang, knew where the 1000 taels of gold was, and finally disposed of Ji Gang.

Although Ji Gang is also an individual talent, but Zhao Zheng did not think about subduing Ji Gang, there are two reasons,

One is that Ji Gang's background is not clean, and he is a member of the enemy camp, so he cannot guarantee his loyalty, and he has to spend energy to defend against it.

The second is that this person is vicious and cunning, has committed too many blood debts, and has a bad reputation. It is difficult to convince others to accept him.

"Qingyuan, I didn't expect that the Wang family would attack you. The second lady is too cruel. I don't know if the second son is involved in this matter." Ding Ping said with a complicated expression, the lord's family affairs, his position is very embarrassing .

"Uncle Ding, where was he before my father sent you? What were you doing?" Zhao Zheng was worried about Zhao Xuan's situation.

Ding Ping pondered for a while, he was sent out by Zhao Xuan two months ago.

"This...At that time banditry was rampant on the southern border, invading cities, and took down seven small and medium-sized cities in a row. Master Zhou suspected that the frontier army of the Dayue Dynasty pretended to be bandits invading, so he summoned an army of [-] to wipe out the enemy bandits.

Before I set off, Lord Zhou Mu was in Yulou City, a big southern city, and was already preparing to fight the bandits. "

"The four generals of Yunzhou, who did my father take to participate in the bandit suppression, and did the second brother follow?"

"Lord Zhou Mu summoned General Hu Chu from the north and 3 of his troops. Generals Huang Xiao from the west and Pan Hu from the east did not move, but each sent [-] troops, plus [-] from General Ma Xu to the south. , a total of [-] troops.

The second son followed and led 1000 guards of the state shepherd. "

Zhao Zheng began to think about it. The south of Yunzhou is the border, and it is the most chaotic place when it comes into contact with the Dayue Dynasty. It is not surprising that there is a war.

There are [-] troops in Yunzhou, [-] are led by Hu Chu in the north, [-] are led by Huang Xiao in the west, [-] are led by Pan Hu in the east, and [-] are led by Ma Xu in the south.The rest are the garrison troops of various cities, large and small, with a total of more than [-] scattered.

The three major families in Yunzhou, the Wang family, the Huang family, and the Pan family.

After Zhao Xuan came to Yunzhou, the Wang family also rose in Yunzhou, becoming the third largest family in Yunzhou along with Huang and Pan.

The four generals also have heavy labels, Huang Xiao and Pan Hu represent the Huang and Pan families.

Although Hu Chu's surname is not Wang, he is a general trained and promoted by the Wang family, and he has the label of the Wang family on him.

The strongest Ma Xu is Zhao Xuan's direct descendant and has been following Zhao Xuan.

It is normal for Zhao Xuan to transfer Hu Chu's troops to the south, because there is basically no fighting in the north, and Hu Chu is a member of the Wang family, so he is considered half of his own, after all, he is a wife clan.

There were two hundred personal guards around Zhao Xuan, and the left and right guards led one hundred each. Ding Ping was the left guard general, and he took away 50 people.

So Zhao Xuan had only 150 guards around him at that time, plus the [-] guards led by Zhao Xing.

The others are mainly led by Hu Chu and Ma Xu.

When Ding Ping left, news of Emperor Yan's death had already spread among the upper-level forces.

Zhao Zheng could use his imagination to incite Hu Chu and Zhao Xing to plot against Zhao Xuan if the Wang family had a different intention.

During the battle against bandits, with the strength and important positions controlled by Zhao Xing and Hu Chu, if they wanted to attack Zhao Xuan in the chaos of war, no matter if it was to create an accident or blame the bandits, they could do it.

The more Zhao Zheng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. The bandits Ji Gang and Wang Ju, one was a bandit on the border of Qianzhou, and the other was a bandit in the middle of Yunzhou. There are relationships.

Moreover, Zhao Zheng felt that these bandits were probably the forces cultivated by the Wang family.

Thinking about it this way, the Wang family's ambitions and motives are all there.

For the original owner Zhao Zheng, Wang Ju and Ji Gang were a dead end.

The Wang family probably didn't figure it out after all their calculations. He, a time traveler, disrupted their plans.

Now Zhao Zheng is very sure that his father Zhao Xuan has probably been murdered by the Wang family, but the news of Zhao Xuan's death has been concealed, or it has not been spread yet.

Zhao Zheng told Ding Ping all the analysis and speculation just now. Ding Ping was an old man who followed Zhao Xuan before Wang Su married Zhao Xuan, and watched Zhao Zheng grow up since he was a child. Trustworthy, so don't doubt that he will betray, trustworthy!
"Uncle Ding, I suspect that my father has died... don't be surprised, listen to me..."

"How dare they, Mr. State Shepherd really...

The king's wolf is ambitious, and the state shepherd should have guarded against it long ago,"

Ding Ping was emotionally agitated, and it was difficult to calm down for a while. Combining his own observations for many years and previous encounters, Ding Ping felt that Zhao Zheng's analysis and prediction just now were very likely.

Perhaps because of time travel, Zhao Zheng didn't have such a strong sentimentality, and he was able to analyze the problem calmly and objectively.

"Uncle Ding, the most urgent thing is to determine whether my father was really killed."

"Uncle Ding, you send two personal guards to rush to Yuncheng, and then send two more to Yulou City." Zhao Zheng is not sure if the battle in the south is over now, but Zhao Xuan usually only stays in these two big cities .

"The two people sent were separated. One went to the city to report, and the other pretended to wait outside the city. The person who entered the city must go to see my father, tell my father about my attack by the bandits, and ask him to send troops to come. pick me up.

Then personally notify the brothers outside the city and pass the news back.

A time was agreed, and if I did not see my father, or the brothers who entered the city failed to come out, then after the agreed time, the brothers outside the city would come back without waiting. "

Zhao Zheng immediately thought of this method to quickly determine Zhao Xuan's life and death.

"Okay, that's it, I'll arrange it now."

Ding Ping went down to arrange personal guards.

He was very eager to know Zhao Xuan's life and death, and even cared more about Zhao Xuan than Zhao Zheng.

To be selected as the personal guard general must be a confidant.

It takes four days to go back and forth from Zhaocheng to Yuncheng, and eight days to go back and forth from Yulou City. Now we can only wait for news.

But you can't wait, you need to prepare.

In four to eight days, Zhao Zheng was going to ask Zhao Yun to recruit a team. He could first clean up Ji Gang's territory near Zhaocheng, raid the bandit's lair, bring back the 1000 taels of gold, and train troops by the way.

Quickly master a battleable soldier that is completely your own.
