Chapter 121: A Gift from Far Away
Zhao Hao's face was gloomy.
The direction of the enemy's attack came from the north, and the worst had already appeared, and it was possible that it would be the Wu army, could it be that Sun Quan couldn't wait and began to attack him?
He subconsciously looked back at Sun Shangxiang, only to see that Sun Shangxiang was also panicked, so he relaxed a little.
"General Zhao, there are boats on the river, look at the flag, it is indeed the Wu army that is good."
There was a boiling in the crowd.
"Damn, Wu Gou still dares to come!"
"If you dare to come, we will chop them to death."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and signaled everyone to shut up, and the team of thousands of people was silent in an instant.
It didn't take long for three warships to appear on the river, and the first thing that caught my eye were the two most common fighting ships in Soochow.
"There are not many people coming, and those who cope with it come."
Ding Feng led the army to wait for the battle, and Pang De was ready to wait for the enemy to land and kill in all directions.
The enemy ship docked, but the expected shouting did not come, and a ragged soldier on the ship shook his arms vigorously and shouted in a broken gong:
"General Zhao, General Pang, we are here to surrender, please let us come down!"
"Gah?"
To Zhang Ba's complete surprise, the person who came was actually Zhang Ba.
His troops are no different from those called Hanako now, although they take three big ships, they don't have the slightest domineering spirit to ride the wind and waves.
Everyone was on board, each with a sense of powerlessness for the rest of their lives.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Zhang Ba's whole person has lost weight, he is bent on his waist, he looks pitiful in his old age, and a few strands of beard on his chin have become gray and unkempt, how can he have half the demeanor of a general of the Wu army.
Getting off the boat, he knelt in front of Zhao Hao with a plop, and cried shamelessly at the top of his throat, which really smelled the tears of the sad seekers, which made Zhao Hao a little embarrassed.
"After a long absence, how is General Zhang lately?"
Zhao Hao really took Zhang Ba a pit very lightly at that time, he was forced to lead a group of people over the mountains and mountains, invaded Changsha from the land, and fought for survival like a bandit, but he really took advantage of the gap in the Wu army to loot a lot of food and treasures.
If they don't do this, their winter will not be able to pass, but it is precisely because of this that they have become lost dogs, and Wu Jun and the local people have @ a thorn in the side of the common side.
Therefore, Dongwu took a little breath and sent troops to conscript, and the Zhang Ba who fought was defeated, and the whole army was defeated all the way, and finally retreated to Jiaozhou, and the team of 2,000 people at the time of departure was less than 1,000 people.
"General Zhao, I have offended a lot before, but I ...... now Really...... I really don't want to fight anymore,
You are good, spare the villain, and the villain's troops are willing to unload their armor and let you settle it. ”
"I see, it's hard for you to come so far to me." Zhao Hao nodded kindly, "Come on, pull this guy out for me and cut it down." ”
"Gah?"
Damn!
Zhang Ba was so frightened that he took off, and he hugged Zhao Hao's thigh,
"General Zhao, you have a lot of them, why do you want to kill me, a person who has come to take refuge from afar!"
"I don't know how to make up stories.
Tell me, since you're at the end of your rope, how did you get this boat? Could it be that Sun Quan gave it to you for free in order to send you a few people who asked for food? ”
Everyone suddenly realized that the way of their hearts was really like this, and they were almost deceived by this guy.
"It's wrong," Zhang Ba hugged Zhao Hao's thighs and didn't let go, "General Zhao, I Zhang Ba also have a few friends in Dongwu, but they looked at me pitiful, so they deliberately got out of the way and borrowed me a few boats to send me away." ”
"I'll you, I'll give you one last chance, and if you don't tell you who asked you to come, I'll immediately break you into pieces."
The navy is the lifeline of Soochow, and the ship is the soul of Soochow.
If there were only a few ships, it could barely be explained that Zhang Ba took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to take them, but this kind of large building ship that can accommodate five or six hundred people is really the treasure of Soochow, and each one of them is recorded.
In the battle of Weixukou that year, Sun Quan's love general Dong Raid only had five building boats, and when the wind was bumpy, Dong Raid couldn't bear to abandon the building boat, and actually sank and drowned in the river with the ship, which shows the preciousness of the building boat.
Even if it is with the technology of later generations, it costs a lot of money to build this big ship, and Zhang Ba is actually driving one now, Zhao Hao does not doubt that it is not Zhao Hao.
Zhang Ba was helpless, so he had to tell Zhao Hao the ins and outs of the escape with a handful of snot and tears:
It turned out that Zhang Ba was trapped in the mountains at that time, and he was already exhausted, and he was about to be arrested by Sun Quan and stripped of his skin.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a guy who had never dealt with anything before suddenly came out, not only let Zhang Ba go, but also found him three boats by the Xiangshui River, and told him to go south to Zhao Hao.
"Han Zong?" Zhao Hao looked confused, "Who is this person?" Do I know each other? ”
Ding Feng sneered beside him and said, "Boss, you forgot, Han Zong is Han Dang's son and was our prisoner in Xiakou.
Hey, this kid must have some kind of conspiracy. ”
Zhao Hao then remembered that Ding Feng had told him before that the two officers with the worst reputation in Eastern Wu were Pan Zhang and Han Zong.
Pan Zhang forgot his righteousness because he saw profit, and even robbed the money of his soldiers, what is Han Zong's reason?
"Hey, Pan Zhang is greedy for money, Han Zong is lustful, these two people, tsk...... None of these things.
However, although Han Zong is lustful, he is not bad against his soldiers, and his troops are quite high in combat effectiveness, and he can fight a little bit with our Beiwei army. ”
Is lust also a problem?
Ahem, Boss Cao's great health care can beat his son to death, and it can be regarded as a romantic affair in the future, no matter how evil Han Zong is, he can't catch up with Lao Cao.
Well, it's strange, it seems that I didn't have much to do with him when I was in Natsuguchi, why did I suddenly play this hand this time.
Han Zong not only sent Zhang Ba and a group of lost dogs, but in the big boat, he actually loaded a lot of seeds and farm tools, as if he was worried that these lost dogs under Zhang Ba would eat up Zhao Hao's logistics, and he actually brought enough rations to these people.
Although Zhang Ba's subordinates trekked hard, after all, there was no hardship in the battle, everyone was still very happy, and after arriving in Jiaozhou, they were all very honest, like a little daughter-in-law with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, waiting for Zhao Hao's fate.
"Yes, yes, since Brother Han Zong has such a good intention, I will be disrespectful.
Well, this kind of smuggling thing doesn't seem to be very good, so let's do it, I understand it.
On behalf of the people of Jiaozhou, I would like to thank international friends for their support. ”
Zhang Ba: ......
Although I don't know what Han Zong is planning, he is really doing this.
Zhao Hao was short of people, so Han Zong sent a bunch of bastards who had no combat effectiveness at all;
Zhao Hao was short of food, so Han Zong sent seeds, grain and a bunch of simple farm tools;
There are even three large ships......
Yes, this kid is really on the road, why didn't he find such a talent when he was in Xiakou?
Marked up.
Zhao Hao was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was not shocked, he asked Pang De to arrange a house for Zhang Ba to rest first, and the soldiers he brought were also temporarily placed together.
He didn't bother to hold the meeting to complain, but promised to allocate fields to these people according to the treatment of Yulin people, and the Wu soldiers who heard the news thought that they had hallucinated.
Got a field?
And the treatment of people?
"That's right, as long as you honestly lay down your arms and are willing to accept the reorganization, you can enjoy the treatment of the common people and get a share of the land,
And according to the temporary new policy of Jiaozhou, we collect taxes according to the area of land, and we do not pay it evenly from the capitation, so it is very fair to each of you. ”
"Really?"
A few soldiers were already overjoyed, they just didn't want to continue fighting, but they didn't expect that there were still people in this world who were willing to treat them as human beings, and they didn't charge a poll tax......
My God, this is Lord Qingtian.
Looking at the jubilant appearance of the newcomer Wu Jun, Yang Yi couldn't help but nod lightly.
"General Zhao is young, but he knows the hearts of the people, such a move, the world's leaders will definitely gather to follow, as long as Jiaozhou is successful, our army will sweep the world in the future."
Zhao Hao endured the smugness in his heart and nodded lightly, and said with a smile:
"This is a good start, when the caravan arrives, it won't be long before our policy will be known to the world, and then more and more people will come to Jiaozhou, and this wild place will soon become a paradise that everyone yearns for."
