Chapter 603: Zhen Yan's Novel (End)
The people on the shore have their own thoughts, but the Jiangxin thief on the water has only one thought.
Stay alive!
With Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin being captured successively, after Guan Cheng commanded the fleet to use a long pole to open a few fireboats, most of the Jiangxin thieves lost their fighting spirit, some of them fled westward, some returned to Jiangxinzhou to prepare to lurk, and some ran north, when Guan Cheng planted the battle flag of the Zhenbei Army into the village of Jiangxin thieves, he also announced the end of this bandit war.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were both tied up by Wuhuada, Jiang Qin looked at his father's warship that was gradually sinking on the water, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"The two armies are at war, life and death depend on the sky, and only by living first can we have hope." Zhou Tai was worried that Jiang Qin would do something stupid, so he persuaded in a low voice.
"I'll get my revenge!!" There seemed to be blood in Jiang Qin's voice, and Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.
"There's another live one here, grab it!"
"Still running! Did you run? Bow and crossbow ready!! ”
"Run! Aren't you going to run? Run!! I'm scared when I see a crossbow! ”
"This guy is not wearing clothes!!"
A shout suddenly came from the reeds in the distance, and a naked man was caught out, looking at the little uncle who was shaking in front, Jiang Qin opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time to shout "Dad??" ”
The one who was arrested was naturally Jiang Zhong.
"Daddy? Is this your dad? Give him a piece of clothing, and the two of them will be interrogated separately later! Guan Cheng, who was passing by, said casually: "This guy's capital is not small... Look at what, no matter how small I am, I am not as thick as Lao Tzu! ”
Jiang Qin cried with joy, tears suddenly welled up, Jiang Zhong lowered his head, he was sinking in the water at that time, he finally swam ashore, as for why he swam to Jiang Xinzhou...
Isn't it because it's close!
When Guan Cheng returned to the hostel and saw Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan was holding a teacup in one hand and shaking his head and singing a small song.
Tea is not popular in the north, in the south of the Yangtze River has spread among the family, and at this time, tea is not called tea, called Tu, this word means bitter vegetables, and then slowly formed a word with multiple sounds, when talking about tea, read tea, but still written as Tu, until the Tang Dynasty Lu Yu will remove a horizontal, there is tea, which is why later generations say that Lu Yu invented the drink of tea.
"Minwang, laughing so happily, it seems that my battle was not in vain."
Zhen Yan put down the teacup, nodded and smiled, "You didn't see it just now, as your artillery bombardment crushed those thief fleets, Zhang Yun's faces changed."
They haven't said anything yet, but wait, someone will come tonight.
By the way, how much did our army win in this battle? ”
"Oh, I was told, what a Jiangxin thief, I think, it's just a fishing village, there is nothing, there are a lot of dried fish, if you want it, I will make you two baskets." Guan Cheng shook his head and said, "There are a lot of prisoners, I see that there are also a lot of sea ships in Wu County, you can rent some when the time comes, transport more food back at a time, and bring these prisoners of war back casually, our navy is very short of people." ”
"Report! There are two teenagers outside asking to see them, and this is their name post. ”
"Take a look." Zhen Yan took the name card, opened it, closed it with a snap, and waved his hand, "Invite them in!" ”
"Who is it?" Guan Cheng asked.
"Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian's eldest son - Sun Bofu, Lujiang Zhou - Zhou Gongjin!"
After a while, the two Ruyu sons walked in, looking at the pair of Gone with the Wind in front of them, Zhen Yan couldn't help but nod and sigh.
Appearance is open in any era.
"The two sons are seated, I don't know what to do with me Zhen?"
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce, Sun Ce took out a booklet from his arms, raised his head high and said, "In the past, I begged Dong, and I was loved by the general of Zhenbei, but unfortunately Yuan Shao and others did not allow my father and were forced to abandon and flee."
Today, I learned that Mr. is here, and I would like to present a gift, and I hope Mr. will pass it on to the general to apologize! ”
Guan Cheng stepped forward to take the booklet and handed it to Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan opened it and stood up suddenly.
"Five million stones of grain and grass, Bo Fu is not playing tricks on me? With so much grain and grass, don't say that your Sun family can't get it, even if it's his Yuan Shu, I'm afraid it's difficult, right? ”
Zhou Yu shook off the folding fan with a bang, don't say it, this action is so handsome, Zhen Yan who watched it is ready to go back and practice.
"Five million stones, the Sun family does not have it, but Yangzhou has, Jingzhou has, Yangzhou six counties and ninety-two yi, Jingzhou seven counties and one hundred and seventeen counties, the population of the two states is nearly eight million, there has been no major war in the past two years, the wind and rain are smooth, the grain and grass are full, not to mention only five million, even more, ten million, twenty million, it is not difficult to collect.
As long as the Zhenbei Army is willing to hand over the Jingyang and Liangzhou trade routes to us, these five million stones are just our sincerity. ”
"Jing and Yang families are lined up, now it is a troubled time, grain and grass are people's hearts, is life, although your Lujiang Zhou family is a first-class family in the world, I am afraid it will be difficult for these families to take out their lives.
Is it possible that you are going to collect from the people? ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "There are two families in a village, one family uses the money to hoard food, and the other family uses the money to buy steel swords and armor. ”
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.
"You want ordnance?"
"Yes, of course, porcelain, woollen cloth, glass, paper and other northern specialties, we also want, in addition, we also want the kind of weapons used by the Zhenbei army in today's water war."
"You still want artillery?"
"Artillery... Could it be the rumored firearm that defeated Yuan Shaojun? Zhou Yu immediately remembered the rumors.
"Ordinary ordnance, we can sell it, but firearms must be approved by General Zhenbei, otherwise, we will also lose our heads." Zhen Yan stroked his beard and thought for a while, and finally said, "I want to come to Zhou Gongzi and want to get it, the tacit understanding between the four families of Wu County will soon be broken because of the performance of our army today, you want to dominate the trade routes of the two states, this is impossible, at least, it is impossible now." ”
"When is that possible?" Sun Ce couldn't help but ask.
Zhen Yan looked at this heroic young man, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If Gongzi is now the assassin of Yangzhou, no, as long as he masters the land of the two counties, I think General Zhenbei will seriously consider this issue."
Although it is only a matter of business, it is still about strength. ”
"That Jingzhou! Jingzhou to us, Danyang County is now Wu Jing, my Zhou family also has some status in Lujiang, our two families join forces, enough to control the river to the east of Jingzhou, I think, this strength should be enough, right? ”
"Jingzhou?" Zhen Yan glanced at Zhou Yu in admiration, nodded and said, "I can only say that the waterway business to Jingzhou will be given to you, but on the land route, as long as there are Jingzhou merchants who can go to the north, we will not drive away the guests."
And five million stones, still not less, I also know that you can't take it out now, ten days, ten days, I want to see 500,000 stone of grain, otherwise, I can't believe your strength. ”
"A gentleman's word!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!!"
