Chapter 134 White Cliff City
Liu Zheng also looked at Yang Ke with a smile.
In fact, from the very beginning, Liu Zheng had been considering the difficulties faced by the Baiya Army.
He also knew that Yang Ke had come here today with his own ideas.
Liu Zheng had to admit that, in his eyes, the Baiya Army was just a behemoth - to use a popular saying, he grew up listening to their legendary stories.
In Liu Zheng's eyes, the Baiya Army was very capable, had great abilities, and had a good network of relationships. He also had a powerful military advisor and a horse farm that everyone in the world envied...
but.
It is obvious that the horse farm in the hands of the Baiya Army has become a hot potato.
Therefore, Liu Zheng's attitude towards Yang Ke also changed.
Of course, this is not to add insult to injury, but just a negotiation tactic.
He wanted to let Yang Ke know that he had a good relationship with Du Biao, but that was a personal relationship with Du Biao and had little to do with your Baiya Army. If you want my help, you must first understand your position.
So, when Liu Zheng said this.
Zheng Yueru, Jiang Xuan, and Qin Changfeng immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they all stopped talking.
Yang Ke smiled bitterly in his heart.
He had known that this would be the situation, but he had not expected that this Master Liu was so smart and would not show any mercy to the Baiya Army.
Liu Zheng’s attitude now is very clear.
I know that many people are eyeing your Baiya Army. Chen Ping, even Prince Lu, Zheng Yuxing, and even the Queen will not let the Baiya Army have an easy time. In the worst case, they can find someone to replace them...
So, at this time, what bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with me?
If you have any, why not bring them out now so we can discuss it.
In this regard, Yang Ke could only speak directly, sighed, clasped his fists and said: "Master Liu, then Yang Ke will speak directly! Things are out of power, and powerful enemies are everywhere. The Baiya Army plans to hold a war horse contract meeting in Baiyazhou!"
Liu Zheng was shocked and looked at him in surprise.
Wonderful!
This Yang Ke was indeed the brains of the Baiya Army. Just when Liu Zheng was worried about the Baiya Army, he actually came up with such a brilliant idea!
War Horse Contract!
This is probably a kind of summit and trade fair in a certain field in this era. At this summit, the Baiya Army will show the world the true strength of their horse farm, and then people will buy war horses. In this way, the vassal kings, governors, and governors of the seventy states of the Longyan Dynasty will come together. These people will all be the amulets of the Baiya Army at that time! Chen Ping can no longer bear it, and he dare not openly oppose the vassal kings of the world. At this time, he will use force against the Baiya Army?
Expert!
This Yang Ke is definitely an expert!
What if we could gather all the big guys in the world together, even their subordinates?
Who would dare to have any improper thoughts about the Baiya Army at this time?
"good!"
Liu Zheng couldn't help but cheer, his eyes flickering: "Mr. Yang is so talented, Liu Zheng admires him! But, since Mr. Yang has such a brilliant idea, then..."
Yang Ke smiled bitterly: "The situation in Baiya Prefecture is complicated now, and everyone has their own agenda. Yang Ke wanted to invite Master Liu to come and participate..."
He paused, then continued, "It would be best to bring some Silver State troops with you."
Liu Zheng just laughed.
Talking to smart people saves effort.
The Baiya Army wants to use the deterrent power of the Yinzhou Army to temporarily overcome the current difficulties.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this.
If possible , who would want to live under someone else's roof?
Moreover, Liu Zheng also felt that Yinzhou’s current strength was not enough to defeat the Baiya Army.
Yang Ke got straight to the point, and Liu Zheng naturally didn't waste any words, and smiled faintly: "This is not a difficult task... But Zheng has a request."
Yang Ke was overjoyed: "Sir, please speak!"
Liu Zheng looked at him with burning eyes: "Can Yinzhou Weapon Workshop join this contract meeting?"
"ah?"
Yang Ke was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, and then shook his head and sighed: "Doing business with Mr. Liu is really... thrilling! This is of course no problem!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Liu Zheng gave an order on the spot, asking Jiang Xuan to lead more than 40,000 Yinzhou troops to return to Yinzhou first. Zheng Yueru would go back with him to be responsible for the transportation of various weapons in the weapon workshop. He also asked Qin Changfeng to lead 30,000 elite Yinzhou soldiers to go with him to defeat the Baiya Army.
The two groups of people separated.
It’s only two days’ journey from here to Baiyazhou, and another seven days to Yinzhou.
Liu Zheng suddenly felt very proud. In a few days, the Baiya Army would gather together and all heroes from all over the world would make their debut.
He was getting a little impatient.
…
Ruogu Pass at this time.
Chen Ping had just returned to his tent after drinking with the prince.
Liu Chang laughed slyly beside him and said, "Sir Governor, Yang Ke also followed Liu Zheng and ran back!"
Chen Ping sneered, "Really? Hahahaha, although we suffered heavy losses this time, it's not a loss at all to be able to consume the Baiya Army's manpower!"
Liu Chang smiled and said, "The Baiya Army currently has only 20,000 soldiers. If you want to attack them, it will be easy! You just need to state the crimes of the Baiya Army over the years. By then, even the Queen and Prince Lu will not be able to refute them!"
Chen Ping also laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy.
The Baiya Army has been developing steadily in Liangzhou. On the one hand, it is under the protection of Zheng Yuxing, and on the other hand, it is under the protection of Prince Lu. By following Zheng Yuxing's line, they also have the protection of the Queen.
But what about now?
Zheng Yuxing lost more than half of his Liangzhou troops, and the Baiya troops were almost completely depleted. Prince Lu was unable to take care of himself, and the Queen was far away in Beijing.
What about the Liangzhou army under Chen Ping? They deliberately delayed joining the battle this time, and finally came to the battle to make a scene. In the end, it was the Yinzhou army that changed the situation. So his 100,000-man army was waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, without any casualties.
Now is the best time to take action against the Baiya Army!
Chen Ping's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Immediately draft a letter of accusation and attack the Baiya Army!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a scout suddenly ran over and said, "Sir, a letter from the White Cliff Army has just been delivered!"
Chen Ping sneered: "Do you still want to resist in vain? Read it!"
"Bai Ya Prefecture will hold a war horse contract meeting in late June. At that time, all the heroes in the world will gather together. Ke Cheng invites the governor..."
"What?"
When Chen Ping and Liu Chang heard this, their faces changed drastically and they looked at each other angrily.
Late June?
Isn't that just another month?
The key point is that if the vassal kings are close to Baiyazhou, they will probably arrive in a few days or ten days...
In this situation, how do they send troops?
"Old man Yang Ke, you are bullying me too much!"
Chen Ping spat out a mouthful of blood and almost vomited it out of anger. He was a little unsteady and swayed for a while.
"My Lord, my Lord!"
"My Lord, please calm down!"
…
at the same time.
Zheng Yuxing, Prince Lu, and the third prince Xie Ling also received invitations from the Baiya Army.
Zheng Yuxing looked at Xie Ling with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, the Baiya Army has indeed made some moves."
Xie Ling laughed coldly: "They still don't want to hand over the horse farm to me..."
Zheng Yuxing was silent.
The Baiya Army suffered huge losses in this battle. The Third Prince Xie Ling immediately proposed that instead of letting Chen Ping take advantage of the situation, he should take over the Baiya Army's horse farm. He promised that he could help the Baiya Army transform from bandits to officials...
If you own a horse farm, you will truly have the capital to conquer the world.
How could such a thing be left to the prince?
After the great victory at Rongshan Pass, everyone was keeping their eyes on the Baiya Army.
The conflict with the Huns has shifted to the horse racing field.
However, the relationship between Zheng Yuxing and the Baiya Army is still relatively solid.
However, he was also the Third Prince's man, so he could not mediate too much in this matter. At this time, he could only advise: "Your Highness, the situation is still unclear, Your Highness needs to be patient for the time being... If this horse farm really falls into your hands, it may not be a good thing!"
Xie Ling snorted.
How could he not know the truth? Now that the emperor is still alive, if he takes the horse farm away , he will become the target of public criticism. Therefore, controlling the Baiya Army and the horse farm through Zheng Yuxing is the best choice.
Although……
He was a little unwilling.
After all, the Baiya Army is a group of bandits!
When the world really falls into chaos, will they still follow Zheng Yuxing quietly?
"Okay, then after we've discussed the merits and appreciated them, we'll go and take a look!"
…
For two consecutive days, Yang Ke and Liu Zheng were in the same carriage.
With 30,000 troops following behind, there is no need to worry about anything happening.
After two days of communication with Yang Ke, he had developed some good feelings towards these people from the underworld. Du Biao was like this, and so was Yang Ke. When these people communicated, they were straightforward and had a lot of underworld spirit.
Finally, the army slowly arrived at the world-famous Baiyazhou.
Baiya Prefecture is actually a plateau area, and the grasslands have become natural pastures. The climate here is much better than that of Yinzhou. There is grass and water, the terrain is flat, and the land is fertile. Before arriving at Baiya City, Liu Zheng saw groups of horses galloping freely on the grassland. The wind blew the grass low and he could see cattle and sheep, which was very comfortable.
At this time, it is almost June. At a glance, the green of the grassland makes people feel refreshed.
Liu Zheng wanted to jump down and roared fiercely.
Yang Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think of me, Bai Yazhou?"
Liu Zheng said sincerely: "It is a place of outstanding people and natural pastures!"
Yang Ke laughed loudly: "Young Master's Zuiyinzhou is the best wine in the world, but my Baiyazhou barley wine is not bad either. Today, Young Master Liu and I will not go home until we are drunk!"
An army of 30,000 cannot enter Baiya City, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble, mutiny among the people, and panic.
At this time, Liu Zheng naturally had no intention of occupying Baiya Prefecture by force - after all, Baiya Prefecture was a large province with a population of one million. If Baiya really rebelled, these 30,000 Yinzhou troops would only be enough to fill their teeth.
So Liu Zheng ordered Qin Changfeng to station these 30,000 people ten miles outside the city.
He and Yang Ke rode into the city on horses respectively.
Liu Zheng was actually very curious about the fact that the "bandit army" was better than the government army. What kind of political system was this? Baiya Prefecture had a governor, but was the presence of Zhang Chengjiang, the governor of Baiya, always so low?
Along the way, we can see that the defeat of the Baiya Army this time had a great impact on the people of Baiya.
The streets seemed very deserted, and many people had white paper pasted on their doors, suggesting that there was a funeral to come.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
This is the impact of war on ordinary people.
However, the urban construction of Baiya is still quite good. In Liu Zheng's opinion, it is no worse than Liangzhou.
"Hahahaha, Master Liu, if Du Biao knew you were coming, he would have jumped up to greet you!"
Yang Ke laughed.
Liu Zheng also smiled.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, several men suddenly rushed out from all directions on the street, holding weapons in their hands, and ran towards Liu Zheng without saying a word.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Yang Ke's face changed drastically.
Liu Zheng was also startled.
