Chapter 396. Ming grabbed it
Although half of the loot was lost in the end, Wang Hou won after all!
One million stone grain! 600,000 more than expected, and Zhang Yan and Zang Ba did not return empty-handed, Zang Ba came back earlier after listening to the order, although it did not reach the level of getting rich, but the sergeants brought with him all had bulging pockets, and they also snatched back more than 1,000 women and children.
As for Zhang Yan's goods, it was to let Wang Hou see what a professional robber is, good guy, the cavalry doesn't ride horses anymore, and directly carries the heavy property looted on horseback, and the plundered population is also three or four thousand.
Coupled with the more than 5,000 Jiangdong Danyang soldiers captured by Wang Hou in the two wars, Qingzhou Dingkou can increase by more than 10,000, while Jiangdong has reduced its population by at least 20,000, and it is still the majority of the elite level, seeing Zhang Yan come back with dirty things, if it wasn't for the gentleman's agreement with Wang Hou to reach a truce after the river was opened, Zhou Yu really wanted to snatch things back now!
And what made him even more aggrieved, Wang Hou, the robber! brazenly invaded his Jiangdong and robbed the grain of Dongwu, and in the end, he, the lost owner, had to organize Baba's manpower to personally transport it back for the Wang robbers.
There is no reason for this!
Therefore, in the past five days of transportation, Zhou Yu has not been in front of him, he is fully armed and staying in the Wu army and water division in the upper reaches of the Tonghe River, and he is always vigilant against Wang Hou's remorse!
On October 16, the last stone of rice was loaded into Xuzhou, and the one-and-a-half-month Jiangdong Rebellion finally came to an end! As Wang Hou's fleet retreated, Zhou Yu led his army to advance again, taking back all the banks of the Tonghe River that had been occupied by the northern army.
I haven't been on the road for the past few days, but this time, with the lame three-story ship giant of Dongwu anchored and anchored, Sun Shangxiang didn't know when he slipped up again, watching the shadow of the ship of the northern soldiers gradually moving away, and the little face of the bowed waist Ji had a complicated expression.
"Gone!"
"Gone! And will never come back! ”
I didn't hear the complexity in Miss Sun's tone, but Governor Zhou himself was relaxed and hummed angrily!
There is no need to worry about the fall of Jianye with a heartstring, and finally there is no need to worry about Xiao Qiao, the delicate wife of his family, who is as beautiful as a plum, being controlled by the little wife under the command of an old man's wife, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
I only took a moment to relax, thinking of Wu County, which had been turned into a piece of erosion, and the Chaisang army that had been sprinkled in Jiangxia, but the military rations had been packed and taken away by Wang Hou, Zhou Yu had a headache again.
Leaning over the railing of the boat, looking at the endless sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Sun Shangxiang's eyes clearly showed a sense of melancholy, but the girl's mind was the most difficult to understand, no one knew how she thought, the next second, the girl suddenly puffed out her cheeks and twisted her small fist fiercely.
…………
If Zhou Yu could install a bugging device on Wang Hou's ship, he wouldn't even breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with the silence of the southern army in Wu County, the two major bandit groups in Qingzhou who returned to their hometown in triumph on the boat were completely cheering, and in the kitchen, after the goats and black pigs that were robbed in the south of the Yangtze River were peeled, they threw the whole thing into the cauldron of the march on the boat, poured the snatched rice into it, sprinkled a handful of sea salt, and then poured the molasses wine produced in the island city to remove the fat, and the thick meaty porridge fragrance suddenly diffused.
Well, when it comes to the molasses wine in the island city, now the molasses wine is also exported to domestic sales on the ship, three days before returning to the army, Wang Hou ordered people to Xuzhou to purchase a few boats of wine, and now there is no altar left for the 20,000 soldiers who went out one by one, while sailing along the coastline, the festive carnival is launched.
Drunkenly carrying wine bottles, tearing a large piece of juicy boiled meat in their mouths, these guys who once threw down their hoes to rebel against the court actually sang at the top of their voices, which is exactly the same as the pirate culture in that movie.
There were cheers outside, and the spacious captain's room was also celebrating, but compared to the vulgar things eaten by the soldiers, Wang Hou, known as a food blogger in the late Han Dynasty, was obviously much more surprised at this table, braised sea fish stewed in a small stove, grilled meat sprinkled with spices, red cabbage stews filled the table, and bowls of rice cooked fragrantly.
And compared with the previous vigilance and rustiness, when he came back this time, the attitude of the generals of the Montenegrin Army towards Wang Hou became particularly deferential and admirable.
After all, it was the bandits who started, and whoever can lead them to rob better loot is their thief leader! Even Zhang Yan's attitude has softened a lot, and she lowered her once arrogant head.
Under Wang Hou's care, after the soldiers of the three armies entered the table one after another, before the meal began, he suddenly picked up the wine bowl and bowed deeply to Wang Hou.
"State pastor, in the past, Zhang Yan was short-sighted, and he was offended, and he also hoped that Zhou Mu had a lot of Haihan! From today on, I, Zhang Yan, am completely convinced of you, after returning to Qingzhou, under the subordinates, I also ask the state pastor to integrate and reorganize, just like Brother Zang and Brother Wu, from now on, Zhang Yan is sent by the state pastor, if any of the Black Mountain subordinates dare not have long eyes to disobey the state pastor, Yan personally inserted him! ”
"I hope the state pastor will accept it!"
Zhang Yan is also a wise move, after this robbery, Wang Hou's prestige as a leader has completely surpassed him, if he maintains an attitude of standing up another mountain, he is not convinced by the public, and there are Taishan thieves eyeing him there, even if he is strong in martial arts, Wang Hou will stir and stir at will, he still has to be rounded and flattened.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to surrender and become Wang Hou's spokesperson in the Montenegrin Army, although he is a big brother in his head, it is still the way to maintain wealth and prestige for a long time.
Sure enough, Wang Hou was not ambiguous, but Zhang Yan held the wine bowl and drank it with his head held high, and then fell to the ground again, and in the crisp sound, the commanders of the Montenegrin Army who came with him also stood up with their fists and bowed deeply to Wang Hou.
"Meet the Lord!"
Not to be outdone, Taishan Sikou, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and the small leader of Taishan who accompanied the army also stood up with their fists, and also bowed heavily.
"Meet the Lord!"
If you want to gain a foothold in this troubled era at the end of the Han Dynasty, you have to become a wolf, and if you want to be the leader, you must make yourself a wolf king! The leader of the wolf king who can find meat with his subordinates! This Dongwu plundered, and the two thieves under his subordinates all made a fortune, and sure enough, the three major military factions in Qingzhou, which were originally contradictory in front of Yinzi, are now a lot more harmonious, and they are completely submissive under their own hands.
"Everyone, please get up! This trip to the south of the Yangtze River has this result, but also inseparable from your help, today we set up wine to celebrate, and then return to the hometown with the spoils of war Maodong! At the end of next autumn, when the grain and fertilizer are served, this seat will take you to sail out to sea again, and rob his mother's bowl full of water! Come on! Drink at the table! ”
"Thank you, Governor!"
This is what everyone loves to hear, and the robbery in Jiangnan is addictive, and in the cheers, all the rough and reckless men are seated one after another, holding up the wine bowl, and they are not more elegant than those little minions outside to raise a glass to celebrate.
I just don't know what kind of face Zhou Yu will have when he meets this group of big brothers again in the autumn of next year.
Looking at the big and small thieves who drank red faces, Wang Houlao couldn't help but have a sinister smile on his face.
