The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Your Excellency, General, an urgent report from Zhenjiang Prefecture: the rebels who captured Zhenjiang Prefecture have marched south!"

"what?!"

Wang Ziteng and Liu Biao were both shocked.

Liu Biao didn't care about the guest taking over the main position and asked directly,

"how many people?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziteng looked at the messenger anxiously.

The messenger reported solemnly,

"Nearly 10,000 rebels have marched south, and there are about 5,000 to 6,000 people in Zhenjiang Prefecture defending the city!"

Liu Biao waved his hand.

"Understood, let's go!"

The messenger looked up at Wang Ziteng cautiously, and when he saw him nod slightly, he bowed and left.

Liu Biao frowned,

"These rebels are truly arrogant. They actually dare to attack Suzhou and Hangzhou at this time?"

Wang Ziteng's eyes flashed,

"Old Duke, I think this might be the plan of that group of rebels!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Biao looked at Wang Ziteng in confusion.

Wang Ziteng said solemnly,

"The rebels from Qingfeng Village were able to dominate Yangzhou and quickly capture Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Prefecture because they had been planning for a long time. However, in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, Qingfeng Village's influence is not that great."

"He's marching south to attack Suzhou and Hangzhou. Haha, it's hard not to suspect some conspiracy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Liu Biao nodded slightly in agreement, but after thinking for a moment, he snorted.

"Humph! No matter how much conspiracy and trickery they have, they are all futile in the face of absolute strength!"

"My Lord has important matters to attend to. I hope that Lord Wang can bring me good news."

Wang Ziteng understood what Liu Biao meant, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Ah."

Liu Biao nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.

But when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Ziteng and said,

"Regarding what happened here, I will report the truth to the court in two days."

"Wang Hongguang from Sheyang, Wang Shoude this time, you'll have to take care of yourself!"

Wang Ziteng knew that this was Liu Biao from the Liu Kingdom reminding him to deal with these matters as soon as possible.

When the Sheyang camp was destroyed, Wang Hongguang was not in command in the camp.

Wang Shoude of Zhenjiang Prefecture led his troops to surrender again.

Either of these two things will have extremely adverse consequences for the Wang family and Wang Ziteng.

Liu Biao gave him the opportunity to deal with it in time for the sake of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

But such a gesture of goodwill is not without exchange, the credit of the first battle must be sold out.

Even though Wang Ziteng was unhappy,

But he could only show gratitude and bow to Liu Biao.

"Thank you very much for your advice, old Duke!"

Seeing that Wang Ziteng had listened, Liu Biao turned around and walked away without saying anything more.

After waiting for a long time,

Wang Ziteng slowly stood up and looked outside the hall with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He stood there thinking about something, and gradually a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Finally, his expression turned stern and he called out to the empty hall.

"Come out."

A servant came out from nowhere and bowed to Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Immediately arrange for someone to go to Wang Shoude's home to announce his death. Tell him that he died in battle last night in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and offer him two hundred taels of silver as compensation."

"Yes!"

The servant replied without any emotion.

Wang Ziteng glanced at him calmly.

"You know what to do next, right?"

The servant's voice was low.

"I understand, please rest assured!"

Wang Ziteng closed his eyes slightly and nodded.

"The army will set out tomorrow morning, so hurry up."

The servant bowed slightly and left quietly.

Soon, a group of second-generation nobles, generals from Jinling, and officials such as the Jinling prefect were all invited by Wang Ziteng to the general's office.

After everyone arrived, Wang Ziteng did not hesitate, but directly said to the prefect,

"My Lord, I beg you to immediately order a strict investigation of all persons entering and leaving Jinling. I will order the imperial guards to cooperate with you in a city-wide search, house by house, for the rebels in Qingfeng Village."
