Liu Zheng led the fleet and arrived at Changsha on the fourth day, because Changsha was Sun Jian's territory at the beginning, but it was later occupied by Liu Biao, and the person in charge is now Cai Mao.

So Liu Zhengcai is not worried that he will expose his identity here.

At the same time, Liu Zheng is only outside the city now, and he doesn't plan to enter the interior of Changsha City, so he has nothing to worry about.

A day passed quickly, Liu Zheng and a group of soldiers and horses did not get off the ship, but only moved some wooden boxes that they were wearing, and more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were still on the ship.

On the fifth day, the return journey began.

But this time, when passing by Yichun, Liu Zheng deliberately took a detour and went in the direction of Jiang Er's thief.

Jiang Tuesday thief, since the previous festival with Zu Lang, although the two sides have not moved again for the time being, but there are still some festivals in private.

There has been no contact, but this time, Liu Zheng intends to use their strength. 、

After all, when he returns, he may have to face Yan Xing, and the thousands of people under Liu Zheng may not be able to completely suppress Yan Xing, so if he can get Jiang Er's thief to help, the chance of winning will definitely be greater.

The old nest before the Jiang Tuesday thief has been destroyed, and during this time, the Jiang Tuesday thief has re-established a water village elsewhere.

Although it is not as good as the previous water village, it is not bad.

Liu Zheng has always had some dealings with Jiang Er's thieves, so he knows where their lair is.

After dressing up in disguise, Liu Zheng took a few of his subordinates to Jiang Zhou's thief's lair, and after letting people go in and report it, he soon met Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai under the leadership of people.

"Liu Zhengqushuai, it's you, why are you here!"

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were very surprised when they saw Liu Zheng.

After all, some of Liu Zheng's recent deeds have gradually reached their ears, and they are not particularly far away from Liu Zheng's Mingyue Cottage, and it is normal for them to know some things about Liu Zheng.

Especially recently, Liu Zheng's name has resounded in Jiaozhou, and Liu Zheng's previous attack on Changsha City has spread his reputation in Jingzhou in one fell swoop, so that Jiang Er, who is begging for a life at the junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, is like thunder.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm."

Liu Zheng is familiar with himself, although he has not met Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai many times, but he can be regarded as people who work together, and his friendship is still okay.

"Liu Zhengqushuai, aren't you supposed to be in Jiaozhou at this time, how can you have the heart to appear in our small place?"

Jiang Qin still had great doubts about Liu Zheng's appearance, and he couldn't figure out what Liu Zheng was here for.

"Passing by your territory, there happen to be some things that I want from you, so I came here to place them, and I hope that Brother Zhou and Brother Jiang will help me."

Liu Zheng didn't hide it, and when he came up, he asked for help.

But just saying this, Jiang Qin was even more surprised, and he didn't understand where else they could help Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zhengqushuai, you make it clear, how can we help you, you are now a strong man who occupies a huge Jiaozhou, and we are not at the same level as us at all."

"Actually, it's like this......"

Liu Zheng told the Mi family about the boat robbery incident that occurred on this river.

Of course, Liu Zheng did not tell Jiang Qin that there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses hidden in his cargo ship, and he just asked Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to send a fleet of pirates under his command to escort ships, and to avenge them.

After such a trip, he was willing to pay thirty gold.

As soon as he heard that there was money to take, and it was Liu Zheng who personally asked for it, Jiang Qin naturally had nothing to refuse, so he agreed immediately.

In fact, there were only a few hundred people left under Jiang Qin's command, and after more than a year of development, he has now recruited a lot of people, and once it has grown to more than 2,000 people.

However, this time the escort was naturally impossible to dispatch all the troops, and only half of the men were dispatched, and 1,500 people were sent to escort Liu Zheng's fleet to Xuzhou.

After Jiang Qin agreed, Liu Zheng directly ordered someone to take out thirty gold and handed it over to Jiang Qin first.

Then he stayed here for half a day, waiting for Jiang Qin to gather his men, and after Jiang Qin had almost gathered his men, he led the fleet and continued to sail in the direction of Xuzhou.

In fact, Liu Zheng could have returned directly, but for the sake of safety, he decided to come to Jiang Er's thief.

First, with the help of Jiang Er's thieves, Liu Zheng has a greater grasp of dealing with Yan Xing, and secondly, a trip here, some of the delay can also make Yan Xing those people think that the goods in the fleet are worth a lot of money.

Coupled with the manpower of Jiang Er's thieves, closely guarded, Yan Xing will understand that the value of the cargo ship is really great.

will have more impulses to come over and hijack the ship, so that they will be fooled, and Liu Zheng will have more opportunities to kill him.

With the escort of 1,500 water thieves under the command of Jiang Zhou, the size of the fleet was large, and there were more than ten large and small ships sailing on this river.

From the territory of Yichun County, all the way to the surface of Poyang Lake, it is still peaceful, but after entering the river surface of Jiujiang County, the entire water surface is a little turbulent, and the sky is also at this time inappropriately a spring rain.

The spring rain is continuous, moisturizing things silently.

Although the river is very calm, Liu Zheng is returning, and Yan Xing's men and horses have quietly eyed them, and they can appear at the corner of the next river at any time.

Not long after, when Liu Zheng's fleet sailed to a relatively small river, several huge wooden stakes appeared in the river.

These stakes are stacked together like a repellent rifle in the water.

"Slow down! Decelerate! ”

When the helmsman in charge of navigation noticed the problem on the river, he immediately shouted at the people at the helm inside.

Liu Zheng and the others who were hiding in the cabin were also attracted by these voices.

Liu Zheng walked on the deck with Xu You, and when he saw the wooden stakes in the distance, his face immediately sank, but then he was happy.

The appearance of these wooden stakes is actually very simple, that is, to intercept the ships on the river, and Liu Zheng did not have them in the past, but now they have them when they come back, there is no doubt that it is to stop the boats of Liu Zheng and others.

"Everyone, pay attention, Yan Xing's people are very likely to come!"

Liu Zheng understood, and immediately shouted at the people around him.

Just as he finished shouting, on both sides of the river, a group of soldiers and horses quickly appeared, and black pressure appeared from both sides.
