Chapter 321: Recruiting Tiger Generals

Zhou Tai already vaguely had some feelings in his heart, and he knew what Liu Zheng wanted to say next.

"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, please speak clearly!"

Zhou Tai said to Liu Zheng.

"My recent news, I think you have also heard, now I occupy the entire Jiaozhou, and do not want to stop here, sooner or later, I will use the terrain of Jiaozhou, kill to the Central Plains, annex Jingyang, this is the time when I lack manpower, I see that the two of you are also capable people, if you can take refuge in me, and I work together, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"

Liu Zheng's words have been said very clearly, although now he has not yet revealed his intention to be the emperor, but he has made meritorious contributions, annexed Jing Yang in a few words, and expressed his ambitions, and now he is taking refuge in him, that is, the brothers who struggle together, and when he hits Jing Yang in the future, he wants to join again, but his status is different.

Although it was straightforward enough, Liu Zheng was still worried about whether Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai understood it.

However, Liu Zheng underestimated Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in history, they were able to join Sun Ce's command as water thieves, help Sun Ce fight in the south and the north, and successfully became an important minister of Wu State, it is conceivable that their desire for fame and fortune is much higher than Liu Zheng.

So after hearing Liu Zheng's words, Jiang Qin took the lead in expressing his position.

"That's great, if Liu Zhengqu Shuai is willing to take in our brother, we will naturally take Qu Shuai and you first!"

Jiang Qin himself is full of good feelings towards Liu Zheng, from the beginning when Liu Zheng gave them to solve the matter of Zu Lang, what Liu Zheng did gave Jiang Qin a great good impression, and now Liu Zheng is showing a corporal of courtesy and virtue, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which naturally makes Jiang Qin have a great favor for him.

Therefore, Jiang Qin, who didn't want to be a water thief for a long time, immediately agreed to take refuge in Liu Zheng as soon as Liu Zheng said this.

In fact, Jiang Qin was not a temporary idea, but his current career as a water thief is indeed not easy to do.

A year ago, the imperial court was still relatively relaxed about these water thieves, and there were not enough troops to encircle and suppress them, as long as the water thieves did not raid homes and houses and disturb the lives of local people, the county guards and county orders generally did not go to trouble the water thieves.

However, after the imperial court implemented the state pastoral system, the local water thieves and mountain thieves, these existences will pose a serious threat to the state pastor, and after becoming a thorn in the side of the state pastor, their life will be sad.

As soon as Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao took office, he quickly and gradually dispatched troops and horses to suppress the water thieves in the waters of Poyang Lake, which was precisely Liu Xiang's high-pressure policy that made Yan Baihu and others resist, and Jiang Er's thieves were not very happy.

Now Liu Zheng can find another way for them, and Jiang Zheng can still trust Liu Zheng, so after Liu Zheng opened his mouth, Jiang Qin agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, it's worthy of Brother Jiang Qin, that is, I understand what the future is, follow me, it's much stronger than being a water thief here, if I can develop in the future, you will definitely fly with you."

Seeing Jiang Qin agree, Liu Zheng was actually happy.

However, Jiang Qin agreed, but Zhou Tai on the other side fell into a pensive look, and Liu Zheng was not in a hurry, but shifted his gaze from Jiang Qin's body to Zhou Tai's body.

When Zhou Tai was still thinking, he asked Zhou Tai.

"Brother Zhou, what about you, what are your plans, if you have your own ideas and are not willing to follow me, I will not be reluctant, after all, not everyone is willing to think about and do such things as overthrowing the dynasty and establishing meritorious deeds, some people, the first thing they want is a peaceful life without waves."

Liu Zheng knows some history, Zhou Tai in history worked harder than Jiang Qin in Wu State, and under Sun Quan's command, he has always acted as Sun Quan's guard, and his status is higher than Jiang Qin's in the future.

For Zhou Tai's memory, Liu Zheng only remembered that he first made a living by plundering in the river with Jiang Qin, and then returned to Sun Ce, and helped Sun Ce sweep Jiangdong, when Sun Ce captured Wu County, Sun Quan loved Zhou Tai and asked Sun Ce to bring Zhou Tai under his command.

After Zhou Tai and Sun Quan guarded Xuancheng, there were bandits to attack the city, Zhou Tai was stabbed 12 times to protect Sun Quan, and was seriously injured, but fortunately the famous doctor Hua Tuo was able to save his life.

After that, he fought repeatedly, and Zhou Tai made a meritorious contribution in the crusade against Huang Zu. Later, he and Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu rejected Cao Cao's army in Chibi and attacked Cao Ren in Nanjun. Cao Cao came out of his beard, and Zhou Tai fought bravely to repel Cao Cao.

So he stayed behind and bowed to General Pingyu. At that time, Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng and others were Zhou Tai's subordinates, and they were not convinced. Sun Quan specially met the generals, went to Zhou Tai's seat for wine, ordered Zhou Tai to undress, Sun Quan pointed to his scar with his hand, asked the reason for the injury, Zhou Tai recalled and answered one by one; Sun Quan sent an envoy to grant Zhou Tai the imperial cover, so the generals were convinced.

This is a more legendary story of Zhou Tai. Even Cao Cao once sighed: I don't want to write about the splendid township, there are such tiger generals. And the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also added the plot that after Shamoke killed and injured Gan Ning, Zhou Tai rushed to kill him.

I have to admit that Zhou Tai is one of the most brave and resolute generals in Eastern Wu, his courage is not under Gan Ning, he belongs to one of the few brave first-line generals in Eastern Wu, and the equivalent Tai Shi Ci died too early, so in the middle and late stages, in fact, the fierce generals of Eastern Wu are limited, most of them are still the kind of second-tier excellent generals, such as Zhu Huan Lingtong and the like, and the real generals who can go to the first-line level seem to be only Zhou Tai and Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci A few people.

In Liu Zheng's view, compared with Jiang Tai and Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin is more energetic and has the ability to command, while Zhou Tai is more courageous and cautious, and among the group of water thieves led by Jiang Qin, he has always been suppressed by Jiang Qin's ability, in fact, it is not that Zhou Tai's strength is not good, but in front of people like Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai can't play his own strengths.

Zhou Tai was still thinking about it, but after hearing Liu Zheng's question, he still decided.

"I am also willing to follow Qu Shuai, but Liu Zheng Qu Shuai, although there is some chaos in the imperial court now, but with only the little manpower in your hands, can you confront the imperial court's million army?"

When Zhou Tai doubted, he didn't have any resistance to Liu Zheng, he was just hesitating about whether Liu Zheng's strength could overthrow the imperial court.

After all, the current imperial court is not in history, when Sun Ce went out of the mountain, the princes were fighting, although the imperial court has implemented the state pastoral system, but the state pastoral obviously obeys the emperor's orders.

Unlike in history, when the imperial power fell, the princes fought for themselves.

"Don't worry, I was already very sure, but now with the help of your brothers, it is even more powerful."
