The news of the Zhen caravan being robbed quickly spread like the wind to every county in the Ji Province.
Ordinary civilians were fine.
The various great clans, tyrants, and especially the great clans that were doing business were all shocked and sent people to investigate…After all, the name of the Zhen Clan resounded throughout Hebei Province, and the guards of their caravan were definitely not weak.
This group of bandits was so arrogant that they dared to rob the Zhen family's things.
Or they would be at the end of their rope and rob randomly.
Or, they thought that they were strong enough!
Either way, it was not good news for Jizhou.
Among them, the Zhen family of Wuji who had been robbed of a large number of goods and even lost their young master Zhen Yan in the chaos was naturally shocked and angry.
However, the one who was the most furious was Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou!
"The bandits are rampant!"
In the Jizhou Provincial Governor's Office, Han Fu, who had received the news, was furious.""Could it be that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has completely destroyed the authority of the Imperial Court in Jizhou? A mere bandit actually dared to plunder the goods of the Provincial Governor's Estate!”
"That was the money, grain, and weapons that I had to risk my face to get the Zhen family to agree to fund!”
At this moment, Han Fu was shocked, angry, and heartbroken.
Even though he was a provincial governor, his eyes lit up when he received the large list of goods from the Zhen family. He was amazed by the Zhen family's wealth and unrivaled wealth.
Especially that legendary Ming Hong Saber…
Who would have thought that it would not fall into his hands?!
"The guards of the Zhen clan are actually so weak? The news said that there were only a few hundred bandits, and their weapons and armor were incomplete. How could they kill them and make them flee in panic…"
In his anger, he even doubted the Zhen family's sincerity."Could it be that the Zhen family is reluctant to part with these goods and deliberately created the illusion of being robbed?!”
His subordinates looked at each other.
"Ming Gong, be careful with your words!"
The other driver of Jizhou was the first to speak,""The Zhen family of Hebei is famous throughout the world. They definitely wouldn't do such a small thing and only make others laugh at them!”
"Gongyu is right!”
" I don't think so." Geng Wu shook his head." Besides, with the Zhen family's wealth, I'm afraid they won't be interested in this bit of money…"
The meaning behind his words was very obvious.
Han Fu blushed when she heard that.
Seeing that Guan Chun, Xin Ping, Xun Zhan, and the others were all looking at him, he knew that he had said something wrong and quickly calmed down.
"Then, in everyone's opinion, is it possible that this bandit is the vanguard of Black Mountain's Zhang Yan?”
"Otherwise, I really can't imagine how a few hundred bandits would dare to plunder so wildly in the hinterland of Jizhou.”
The moment he said this, everyone was instantly shocked.
Black Mountain's Zhang Yan was originally just a group of Yellow Turban remnants, but he had gathered millions of people and hid in Taihang Mountain. From time to time, he would go down the mountain to plunder.
The three prefectures of Zhao, Changshan, and Zhongshan in Jizhou, Shangdang in Bingzhou, and even Hanoi in Sili were all affected by the Taihang Mountains.
It annoyed the entire Hebei.
Han Fu also had a headache.
However, because of the dense forests of Taihang Mountain, they were unable to wipe them out.
To put it bluntly, Black Mountain's Zhang Yan was currently the largest group of raiders in the world.
He even had the strength to attack a province!
It was because of this that Han Fu was a little suspicious. She was deeply afraid that Fang Mu, this bandit, had come from Taihang Mountain!
"Does Ming Gong think that Black Mountain's Zhang Yan wants to attack our Ji Province?”
"Then, the reason why these bandits robbed the Zhen Family's caravan wasn't a random act, but something else?" Geng Wu analyzed.”
"Could it be that they are luring the tiger away from the mountain, luring Ming Gong to send an army to exterminate them, but they are already lying in ambush?”
Xin Ping's expression changed as he spoke.
The strategists under Han Fu were led by Xin Ping and Xun Zhan. The more Han Fu thought about it, the more she felt that his words made sense.
"But now that things have come to this, shouldn't we send troops to suppress the bandits?”
Xin Ping and Geng Wu looked at each other.
"Send people to investigate the bandits of the Black Mountain first. If they have nothing to do with it, then go and wipe them out!”
"This is the safest way!"
Seeing that the two of them had the same opinion, Han Fu nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case…"
Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly stepped out and stopped him.
"There is no such thing as luring the tiger away from the mountain, Ming Gong is thinking too much!”
Qiushou couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced at Xin Ping and said,""If Zhang Yan wanted to attack Jizhou, she would need at least tens of thousands of troops. How could she leave no trace behind when she moved?”
"The Black Mountain Bandits can't fly!"
" Until now, we have not received any news. This is enough to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Yan…"
"The ones who robbed the caravan were just a bunch of bold bandits!”
"And there are only a few hundred of them!”
"Just send a general with a few thousand soldiers and destroy them!!”
He finished speaking in one breath, each word sonorous and powerful.
Geng Wu did not think much of it, but Xin Ping's expression suddenly sank when he heard that.
Han Fu's face was also filled with embarrassment. He could clearly see that many people in the hall nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with what he said.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
"Gongyu is right…"
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still restrained his expression and nodded."In that case, who should we send to suppress the bandits?”
"Hejian's Gao Lan is brave and famous in Jizhou. He has already joined the Provincial Governor's Office, you can make him a general!”
Ju Shou suggested.
"Gao Lan? I've never heard of it!"
Han Fu was stunned and shook her head without hesitation.""Rumors among the people have never been trusted. How can a person who has never been on the battlefield lead an army into battle?”
Ju Shou pondered for a moment and suggested,""Military Commander Zhang He is brave and good at fighting.”
"Military commander?"
Han Fu pondered for a moment and shook her head.""This group of bandits can't be underestimated. What if they lose a mere commander?”
"This…"
When Ju Shou heard this, he was about to say something else.
Han Fu interrupted him and confirmed the candidate.""I have General Pan Feng, who is brave and unparalleled in the world. I will definitely be able to cut off the thief's head and return victorious!”
Qiushou was confused.
"Ming Gong, why do you need a cleaver to kill a chicken?”
Han Fu stood up, her tone firm and unquestionable.
"Although I'm here to suppress the bandits, the most important thing is to let the Zhen family know how important I am!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he left without giving Qiushou or anyone else a chance to persuade him.
In the crowd, Xin Ping had been staring at Qiushou coldly.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
"Do you think I don't know that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Yan?”
" But as a strategist, I'm giving advice to my lord, but I don't know how to follow my lord's temperament…"
"Ju Gongyu is a famous person in Hebei!”
