After the rain of arrows, there was a "rumbling" sound, and rolling stones fell from the mountain.

The tree fell, revealing the stone thrower behind it.

Zhou Yan's eyes widened, Pei Qitang arranged these here, he didn't even notice it, he didn't even know that Pei Qitang was here.

He sent Zi'an and Zijian out to guard the pass in Guangnan and look at Cao Jia's people.

In his judgment, Pei Qitang should be in Fujian or borrow troops from those Tusi now, so as to turn the tide of the battle, but he never expected Pei Qitang to appear under his nose.

"Duke, you'd better go into the cabin and hide. The adjutant's voice came.

Zhou Yan drew his sword and cut off one of the arrows that came from him, and pushed away the lieutenant general who was trying to protect him, although he was not young, the sword in his hand was still flexible, and he could guarantee that he would not be shot by the arrow.

"Woooooooo The sound of the horn came from Cochin.

"Jiaozhi," said the adjutant general, "is Jiaozhi sending troops?" ”

Everyone looked across the river, but saw that the boat was not moving.

"They're pushing us to attack. ”

Zhou Yan's chest churned, they were already fighting with Pei Qitang, but the Jiaozhi people still kept urging, as if he was deliberately delaying time.

"The Cochin people are too deceitful," shouted Qianhu on the ship, "General...... We shouldn't be courting Cochin, they don't think of us as their own, they're just taking advantage of us. ”

What do Jiaozhi people want to do Zhou Yan knows very well, this is an exchange of interests, they are here for Ning Wangye, as long as Ning Wangye sits on the throne of the emperor, Jiaozhi can only come to worship sincerely.

Today's emperor is stupid and unwilling to have diplomatic relations with the vassal state, King Ning is different, he has made an agreement with Jiaozhi in advance, as long as King Ning ascends the throne, he will recognize that the Chen family of Jiaozhi is the emperor, and King Ning will marry the daughter of the Chen family, King Ning and Chen have made a marriage contract, and from then on they will share honor and disgrace.

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, and when King Ning's big event was completed, he would definitely ask Yuan Li about his crimes.

……

"Someone went into the water. ”

In the rain of arrows and rolling stones, some people saw bamboo rafts coming down the river one after another.

The people on the raft commanded calmly.

Zhou Yan looked over and widened his eyes, Shang Ji, the person who was dressed like an ordinary soldier in a short beat, turned out to be Shang Ji, the commander of the Fujian Navy Division.

Impossible.

How could Shang Ji come here, how could he be willing to follow Pei Qitang to fight, and he used a bamboo raft instead of a warship.

How could the dignified Admiral allow himself to be reduced to this.

"Here they come, here they come. "Someone started shouting.

"Order a retreat, Duke, if we don't retreat, our ships are all crowded here, unable to move. The adjutant general stepped forward to persuade.

In a narrow river, warships are not as flexible as bamboo rafts, especially when dozens of warships are crammed together, but they hinder each other.

The "Bang Bang Bang" crockpot was thrown over, cracking on the Zhou family's boat, bursting out with black liquid,

"The fireship is coming. ”

Smoke billowed up, flames lit on the bamboo raft, and the soldiers on the bamboo raft had already jumped into the water one after another, and under the command of Shang Ji, they pushed the bamboo raft to crash into the Zhou family's big boat.

Strings of rockets fell from the sky.

The spark landed on the ship, and immediately ignited the black liquid, and there was a scream in the green smoke.

"Retreat ......" Zhou Yan's eyes widened when he saw this, and he had to order a retreat.

The warships of the Zhou family fled in a hurry, and the burning ship seemed to have illuminated the entire Fuliang River.

"Shang Ji," Zhou Yan shouted loudly, "you are not afraid that the court will punish you for your crimes, I will tell you...... Pei Qitang...... It's the remnants of King Qing, you are all rebelling......"

Shang Ji in the water was shocked.

Isn't Zhou Yan plotting rebellion?

What is the rebellion, at least there is no collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country.

Shang Ji sneered: "I only know that the Zhou family has made a cross-toed dog, and I can no longer hold the human skin on my body in this life." Zhou Yan, do you still know who your surname is and where you are from?"

Zhou Yan's chest seemed to have been punched hard, of course he was a person from Daqi, and when King Ning ascended the throne, he would make a contribution to the dragon. Zhou Yan lost his mind, and an arrow flew in.

"Duke. The exclamation sounded, and Zhou Yan felt a pain in his arm.

An arrow was already firmly rooted in it, and the huge force seemed to break his bones, and the pain almost made Zhou Yan faint.

"Escort the Duke......" The deputy general shouted loudly, unable to care about anything else, escorting Zhou Yan to flee for his life in embarrassment.

When the soldiers of the Zhou family on the shore saw the Zhou family's warship on fire, they all came to respond.

"Let them go back," Zhou Yan turned pale, "Be careful of Pei Qitang's sneak attack on the Chinese army's tent." ”

The boats of the Zhou family crowded together to block the river, and everyone looked at the firelight but was helpless. This is not a normal battle between the two armies at all, a large-scale battle, this is not even a serious sneak attack, but in the blink of an eye, they are defeated.

Zhou Yan was dragged ashore by the deputy general in a mess, looking at the place where the fire was soaring, Zhou Yan stretched out his hand: "Stop them, they are going to ...... Our Foundry Bureau. ”

The adjutant general was stunned: "No...... How would they know...... "How would they know that they opened a foundry bureau in such a place.

The lieutenant still didn't understand: "What are they doing in our foundry?"

"Tusi," Zhou Yan said immediately, "they want to make the Tusi of Guangnan change." "If the matter of the foundry bureau they opened is exposed to people, then Tusi will know that the Zhou family has not been helping them all these years, but making profits from them.

If Tusi defected to Pei Qitang, then this battle would not be easy to fight.

"The secrets of the Foundry Bureau can't be leaked," Zhou Yan was horrified in his heart, "Hurry up...... Let people go ......."

Zhou Yan looked at the river, dozens of warships pursuing Pei Qitang were blocked on the Fuchun River, and the Jiaozhi people were still watching the fire from the other side.

The first time he met Pei Qitang, he was defeated here.

I'm afraid it will never be recovered, and Guangnan West Road may be chaotic, and many things will get out of his control.

Zhou Yan only felt a pain in his chest, he didn't expect Pei Qitang to be so difficult to deal with.

If you don't swear this revenge, you won't be a person, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, he wanted to immediately rectify the people and find ways to exterminate Pei Qitang.

As for Jiaozhi and those toasts, as long as King Ning ascends the throne, they will bow their heads and ears, and they will not dare to make mistakes.

The world will also be decided.

"Let someone go and send a letter to Lord Ning, tell him that there is probably a change in Guangnan, and ask him to do it earlier. ”

……

In Tusi's camp, Cao Jia waited for news.

Yun Niang put the food in front of Cao Jia's eyes: "Eat quickly, eat one less meal, someone will put you in a pig cage and sink into the sea in a while, I really don't understand you, the local officials are helpless against them, you just want to come to visit, in case they don't care about the face of the Queen Mother, what are you going to do?"

Cao Jia picked up the steamed buns to eat and did not speak.

Yun Niang couldn't help but be anxious: "Let me ask you." ”

Cao Jia didn't answer Yun Niang's words, but continued to eat unhurriedly: "Eat one less meal, in case you don't have anything to eat, you have to be a full ghost." ”

Yun Niang was so angry that she stomped her feet, and sat back after a while: "Let me tell you, the Zhou family is very prestigious in this area, and the immortal tablet of the Zhou family is also enshrined here." So when Mr. Hu went to Quang Nam, except for the homeless people, the local people refused to come to see them.

"Then let's see," Cao Jia said, "there will always be a result." ”

"It's back. ”

There was a noise at the door, and someone ran in.

A smell of blood came to her face, and Yun Niang frowned and greeted her.

Sure enough, several bloody people were carried into the door, and everyone was soaked and embarrassed.

"Has anyone seen it. The prefect of Lucheng led people to greet him.

The person who came back shook his head: "No, Xing Guogong only saw the Pei family's warship, not us." ”

"That'...... You see?" the prefect of Lucheng looked over eagerly, wondering what they had brought back.

Yun Niang clenched her hands and looked forward eagerly, if anything went wrong, Cao Jia would die here.

Cao Jia sat there, without the slightest eagerness, still eating his meal, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Someone walked in again, this time carrying two boxes.

The prefect of Lucheng couldn't wait to step forward and open the box, which was a bronze Buddha statue and many utensils made of copper.

The prefect of Lucheng opened his eyes wide.

These things.

He picked it up and put it on the end of his nose, it was copper, and these were bronze objects.

Cao Jia said: "The prefect should know the value of copper, right?"

The prefect of Lucheng looked at his subordinates: "How can there be these, have you seen ......?"

The subordinate nodded, still with an expression of disbelief on his face: "They melted the copper coins and forged these things. "They've heard a few words, but they've never taken them seriously.

The heart of the prefect of Lucheng seemed to jump out of his chest, Guangnan has always lacked copper money, so he can't buy things from the outside and come in, he can only barter with the Jiaozhi people, but the imperial court strictly forbids trading with Jiaozhi, only the Zhou family helps them cover up, so they all believe in the Zhou family.

In particular, these officials appointed by the Tusi did not interact with the officials delegated by the Great Qi at all, and those people regarded them as uncivilized barbarians, with language barriers, etiquette and plague all the year round, and they were all exiled by the Great Qi court.

Everyone knows that Quang Nam is an unfortunate place.

The prefect of Lucheng showed an angry look in his eyes: "The Great Qi Taizu soldiers were defeated in Lin'an, if it weren't for our people to take in and cover up, they would have been killed by the people of the previous dynasty, and the imperial court sent troops to meet Jiaozhi and Dali when the emperor was the emperor, and all of us became military households, otherwise where did the Guangnan West Road come from, but you have forgotten these things, just because we are not Qi people, we will be on guard against us in every possible way......"

"Pei Jia......" the prefect of Lucheng sneered, "I have already fled from Guangnan, what are you doing when you come back now? If you want to punish Zhou Yan now, let you persuade us to work hard for the imperial court and defeat Zhou Yan, and those nobles and royal families will benefit in the future, what good will it do us, even if Zhou Yan deceives us like this, the imperial court will not be much better." Therefore, whether it is Zhou Yan or the Pei family, we will not interfere in your affairs. ”

Cao Jia was not surprised, and only after eating the last grain of rice did he raise his eyes: "You don't care until this place is taken over by the Jiaozhi people?" Or seeing that this place has become Zhou Yan's territory, you continue to beg for a life like this, and then Zhou Yan will not treat you well because you didn't help the Pei family, but will resentful that you refuse to persuade all the Tusi to send troops to help." ”

"Unless you prepare to flee now with Xi Soft and his wife and daughter, but whether to go to Qidi or Jiaozhi, have you thought about it?"

The prefect of Lucheng turned pale.

Cao Jia said: "After you followed Taizu, you settled down on Guangnan West Road to reproduce the clansmen, and when the emperor faced Jiaozhi and Dali, you sent troops because we depend on each other for blessings and misfortunes," said and tidied up the official uniform on his body and looked at the sky not far away, "Why do you follow Taizu and the emperor, because the Great Qi at that time can bring people hope, our Daqi is prosperous, and we are never afraid of foreign enemies, so you do not hesitate to put the lives of all the clansmen." It is no longer the time when the emperor is here, and even a general like Zhou Yan who guards the border has accepted the reward of Jiaozhi and what Xing Guogong has done. A small country like Jiaozhi used to be just a subject country of my Daqi, but now it dares to make a mistake in the land of Daqi. Such a great Qi is indeed not worth the hard work of your people. ”

"But what if it's not the imperial court?" Cao Jia smiled and looked at the prefect of Lucheng, "Do you really know when it will be now?" Before Taizu raised his army, he was just a gatekeeper, and before the first emperor inherited the throne, he was just a nameless prince. ”

"Bold," said the prefect of Lucheng, "are you trying to persuade me to join you in the rebellion?"

Cao Jia straightened his back, as if he had stood up, his face was full of pride: "So what, I won't tell you, I didn't even know who I was following before I came, but I still went happily, if you can open your eyes, you will naturally see another world." ”

The prefect of Lucheng had bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and he lowered his head and looked at Cao Jia: "Is it worth it? The Great Qi Imperial Court killed your entire Cao clan, and now it is still taking advantage of your miserable situation to let you persuade us people." ”

Cao Jia said: "Although I, Cao Jia, have no feet, but I dare to walk on the road, whoever makes me admire, I will follow whomever I want, don't have to think about it." ”

As soon as Cao Jia's words fell, Hu Zhonggu's voice came: "Where are the people?

Hu Zhonggu walked in with a few people, and when he saw someone trying to carry people away, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the plank: "What's going on?"

"Dead ...... Dead ......" the man carrying the wounded soldier could only say two words.

He's dead.

Hu Zhonggu's eyes widened: "I didn't say that before I died, no one could say these two words, did you hear it?"

"Put it down. Hu Zhonggu shouted again.

The man carrying the wounded soldier involuntarily dropped the plank to the ground.

The medicine box was opened, the utensils inside glittered in the sunlight, and the white strips of cloth were immediately stained red with blood, and the scene in front of them seemed to be even more terrifying, but it strangely gave people a glimmer of hope.

Since they came to Quang Nam, these people have been looking for herbs everywhere, and when they heard that there was a miasma, they would come forward to check the pulse of the people, but the result was that everyone ignored them.

But they're still here.

The prefect of Lucheng said blankly: "You tell me, what is right?"

Cao Jia said: "What do you want to do most now?"

The prefect of Lucheng said: "Fight the Jiaozhi people like the first emperor and govern the ...... of Guangnan"

Cao Jia continued with the words of the prefect of Lucheng: "There is a spiritual canal in Guangnan, if the spiritual canal can be renovated, there will be no shortage of water sources in Guangnan, the water is wide, the soil is thick, and the fields can be cultivated." ”

The prefect of Lucheng looked at Cao Jia in surprise: "You know ......"

Cao Jia's eyes were slightly distant: "I don't understand, and I'm not good at field affairs, I didn't say this, this was told to me by another person," he paused as he spoke, "So, whoever asks you to do these things, you can follow whomever you want, just like when your people followed Taizu and the first emperor, it's as simple as that." ”
