The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 313 The Matter of Cooperation
In Yangzhou, there are three major water thieves.

If we talk about the first among them, there is no doubt that it is Chaohu Zheng Bao.Relying on the water of Chaohu Lake, gathering tens of thousands of thieves and looting the people in the past, although it is not extremely evil, it is still doing a lot of evil.

But at this moment, on the bank of Chaohu Lake, the water village set up by Zheng Bao seemed a little noisy.Because, there are guests.

This is a man in a Confucian uniform, with a calm attitude, looking quite calm, as if what is in front of him is not a den of thieves.

"Guest, the leader of my family welcomes you!" A thief looked at the scribe curiously. Although he didn't say much, the curiosity in his eyes was not concealed at all.

The scribe nodded calmly, and followed the water thief's path, walking towards the center of the water village.And this water village, the closer it is to the middle, the denser the population.

Not long after, they came to the central hall of the water village, and the thief made a gesture to the scribes and said, "Guests are welcome!"

Even though he is alone in this den of thieves, the scribe is still calm and relaxed. Now he walked into the hall alone, while looking at the surrounding environment, while secretly planning in his heart.

"Are you someone sent by the Yan family?" At the front of the hall, there was this chair with the tiger skin spread out, with an extraordinary momentum.On the tiger skin, sat a middle-aged man.

The man was stubbled, with an unruly expression on his face, and his legs were crossed. He was extremely proud, his eyes were squinting, and he looked at the scribes. Although he was asking, he was arrogant and aggressive.

The scribe nodded, cupped his hands and said, "That's right, I'm Zhu Ming, I've met Chief Zheng!"

Zhu Ming was unmoved, his calm and unhurried appearance made Zheng Bao feel that he had no way to start, and after looking at Zhu Ming twice, he stopped struggling, shook his head slightly and said, "Why are you here today?"

Zhu Ming was a little bit slightly, and said in a strange tone: "I am here today to cooperate with Chief Zheng."

"Cooperation?" Zheng Bao shook his head involuntarily as if he heard some joke, and said, "What good does cooperation do for me? Your Yan family is in Wu County, where the mountains are high and the land is far away?"

Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "I believe Chief Zheng is not short-sighted."

Zheng Bao's pupils narrowed slightly, he looked at Zhu Ming, and said after a slight pause: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Zhu Ming replied: "Come here today to seek cooperation with Chief Zheng. Naturally, I come here with sincerity. As long as Chief Zheng does well, my lord will never treat Chief Zheng badly."

Zheng Bao said disdainfully: "It's all nonsense, what kind of deal, what kind of cooperation, what kind of benefits are there, what's the benefit of being so secretive?"

Zhu Ming didn't feel surprised either, he just nodded seriously and said: "Since Chief Zheng is so forthright, I won't be polite."

"My lord wants Chief Zheng to delay Jiujiang's army." Zhu Ming said clearly, every single word.

"Jiujiang's army, huh..." Zheng Bao was about to laugh, but he was startled suddenly. He looked at Zhu Ming with wide eyes and said, "Yangzhou Mu Chen Ran's army? Don't you want me to die?"

"How prosperous Zang Yu was before, under Chen Ran, he was powerless to fight back. He was swept away by Chen Ran in a short period of time. Do you think that the team under my command can compete with him?" Zheng Bao Although he was arrogant, he still saw the situation very clearly, and he didn't want to be used as a gunman.

Zheng Bao's attitude is not good, Zhu Ming is also calm, he continued to explain: "Chief Zheng, don't misunderstand, my lord does not mean this at all. Still shallow."

"There is no navy under his command. If Chief Zheng can use the navy to restrain him, he will naturally be able to accomplish great things." Zhu Ming explained that he knew that Chen Ran's command was good at killing the gods, but Chen Ran's lack of a navy is also flawed. .

But Zhu Ming's news is a bit behind.

"Shui Jun?" Zheng Bao's eyes were fixed, thinking thoughtfully.

He looked at Zhu Ming, as if he had made a decision, and then asked again: "So what if we delay Chen Ran this time? If Chen Ran stabilizes the situation, remembers his grudge against me, and gathers the army to attack together in the future, what should we do?" Is that good? Also, if I do this, what good will I have?"

For Zheng Bao's question, Zhu Ming seemed to be sure of his chances of winning, and he obviously expected it. He smiled and replied: "Leader Zheng, don't worry, Yangzhou is so big, how can there be no place for him? As long as Chief Zheng is willing, he can move to Wouldn't it be nice for Wu Jun to still be the leader running rampant?"

However, Zheng Bao was not very satisfied with this answer, he shook his head.Zhu Ming said again: "One more thing, my lord has already sent a lot of money and food, and is on the way, and the leader of Wanwang will not give up."

"When the great event is successful, it will be Danyang Wu County, all of which will be my lord's land. At that time, half of Danyang territory in the northeast of Chaohu Lake will be owned by the leader." Zhu Ming finally threw out the ultimate benefit.

Sure enough, Zheng Bao hesitated, money was part of it, but in the end it was the territory that attracted him.His current strength is almost enough to occupy Chaohu Lake, and it is extremely difficult to go further.

If he can still expand the territory, then everything can go further.

Although there is a Chen Ran, but as Zhu Ming said, Chen Ran has no naval strength under his command.Zheng Bao is a water thief who runs across Chaohu Lake. How powerful is Chen Ran in water warfare?

Under these temptations, Zheng Bao couldn't control his excitement more and more, he started to move around.

Zheng Bao's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked: "However, how can I trust your lord? If in the future, your lord crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, what should I do?"

Zheng Bao smiled like an old fritter, looking at Zhu Ming's reaction.

Zhu Ming said: "Since the leader joins forces with my lord, he is naturally an ally. If he loses his promise to the ally, wouldn't it be giving the enemy a chance?"

"There's no need to explain the reasoning here. Chief Zheng must understand the reasoning behind his lips and teeth. If he takes action this time, it will be all glory and all losses. Will my lord still be so unethical?" Zhu Ming remained calm and unhurried. Said.

Zheng Bao's eyes were flickering, and his interests were touching. In the face of interests, it was impossible for him to remain unmoved.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Bao looked at Zhu Ming, nodded thoughtfully and said, "I hope you don't break your word, if you go against what you said today, regardless of others, Mister will definitely have a hard time."

Zhu Ming heard the words, but couldn't help laughing and said: "Chief Zheng, you are being polite. I came here following the order of my lord. I am sincere. Chief Zheng doesn't have to worry."

"If Chief Zheng is really worried, it's not impossible to fight for his life." Zhu Ming obviously said very calmly, casually.

Zheng Bao finally shook his head and let Zhu Ming leave.
