Chapter 710: The Zhou Family

In the capital Dingbei Hou Mansion, Li Zhang was carefully watching the information from Nanyang, which was all information collected by Dong Qing, including the humanities, geography, sea conditions, etc. of Nanyang, of course, in addition to this information, Dong Qing also sued Zhou Liang, because the two had a big disagreement on guarding Gantuoli Port, and they had a big quarrel over this.

Although Gandali Port was defeated, they would definitely face the counterattack of the Buddha Kingdom next, so how to defend Gandali Port was also the most important thing they needed to consider now, while Dong Qing's idea was more conservative, that is, to build fortifications around the port, and at the same time recruit a group of people from the Great Song Dynasty to increase the strength of the guards.

However, Zhou Liang's idea is completely opposite, this madman does not play cards according to common sense at all, he believes that the best defense is to attack, so not only did he not agree with Dong Qing's defense idea, but decided to take the initiative to send troops to clean up the surrounding cities of the Buddha Kingdom, you must know that there are still many native towns around Gantuoli Port, and these are potential threats to the port.

After reading the information in his hand, Li Zhang also let out a long breath, the situation in Nanyang is more complicated than he thought, mainly because the battles between the natives are too frequent, even if the same kingdom is divided into countless large and small forces, fighting with each other, let alone between kingdoms.

At that moment, Li Zhang took care of the information in his hand, and then put it on the desk, preparing to show it to Zhao Zhen tomorrow, although Zhao Zhen handed over the affairs of Nanyang to him with full authority, but there are still some things that need to be let him know.

As for Dong Qing's complaint to Zhou Liang, Li Zhang didn't care much about it, in fact, no matter what Zhou Liang did, he was not surprised, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy was a madman, but Zhou Liang was a capable madman, Zhou Liang's father sent him to martial arts, and he also graduated with the best grades, but unfortunately this guy was too murderous, and even a little perverted, even if he stayed in the army, it was not suitable, so he was simply sent to Nanyang by Li Zhang.

For Li Zhang, Gantuoli Port is actually a temptation, just like throwing a pebble into the lake to test the depth, now that the pebble has been thrown, what kind of turmoil on the lake is acceptable, and the more outrageous Zhou Liang does, the greater the wind and waves may be stirred, which is also more convenient for Li Zhang to test the depth of the lake.

Of course, it is best for Dong Qing and Zhou Liang to hold Gantuoli Port, so that in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will have one more stronghold to go to sea, if it can't be held, it is nothing, anyway, the navy of the Great Song Dynasty is not ready now, and it will be the same if these things are handed over to the navy in the future, and then the navy can also be allowed to train soldiers.

"Knock knock~" At this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then the door of the study was pushed open, and Qingori walked in with a bowl of medicine that exuded a strange smell and said with a smile: "Husband's body is unwell, so let's work less, drink the medicine quickly!" ”

Li Zhang suffered a little cold the day before yesterday, which was not very serious, but Qingori was very worried, so he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and he personally boiled it every day, and he had to watch him drink it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

"I feel better, I don't need to drink any more medicine, right?" Li Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he smelled the strange smell emanating from the medicine bowl, even if he had been in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, he still couldn't get used to the taste of Chinese medicine, especially the taste of each Chinese medicine was different, and it was mixed together to create countless strange flavors.

"I finally know who An Ran learned from, with a father like you as an example, it's no wonder she doesn't like to drink medicine." Qingzhi was joking when she heard Li Zhang's words, but she was right, An Ran is very similar to Li Zhang, and the most afraid is to drink medicine when she is sick.

Hearing that his wife had pulled his daughter out, Li Zhang could only helplessly take the medicine bowl, and then pinch his nose and drink it all, and Qingori also stuffed the sugar cube prepared next to him into Li Zhang's mouth at this time, sugar in this era is still a luxury, mainly because the purification technology of sugar is not yet mature, and the output has not been able to rise.

"By the way, Mrs. Zhou came to give a lot of gifts today, and said that her husband was worried about her unsuccessful son." Qingzhi took the medicine bowl in Li Zhang's hand at this time and said casually, there are many guests who come to visit the family every day, and there are many female guests, after all, there are some things that the men in the family are not good to come forward, and the women are better at talking.

"That kid from the Zhou family is not unsuccessful, or he has some psychological problems, but if he uses it well, maybe his achievements are no worse than his ancestors." Li Zhang also smiled when he heard this.

Zhou Liang is also from Jiangmen, his grandfather Zhou Yi once followed Cao Wei's father Cao Bin to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also made a lot of contributions, the Zhou family and the Cao family are also considered families, and the two families are married from generation to generation, Zhou Liang's mother is Cao Wei's cousin, it is by virtue of this relationship, so there are many young people in the Zhou family who have entered the martial arts, and a few of them have performed well in the army after graduation.

Speaking of Zhou Liang is the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family, he is not only excellent in martial arts, but also smart, the art of war is even more understandable at a glance, and in the art of war deduction, he can refute the instructor, and after graduating with excellent grades, his performance in the army is very eye-catching, if nothing else, maybe the future achievements can be compared with Di, Cao Tong and others.

However, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, Zhou Liang has a superior background, he has been educated by the nobility since he was a child, and the Zhou family's family education is also quite strict, his brothers are not a gentleman, but for some reason, Zhou Liang's personality is very different from ordinary people, he has been cruel and easy to kill since he was a child, likes to torture small animals, and when he grows up, he hurts people at every turn, and after he goes to the battlefield in the army, he becomes very bloodthirsty, and it is not common sense to kill people, and he likes to cut off the enemy's limbs and watch the other party howl to death.

In Li Zhang's view, Zhou Liang is likely to be a natural antisocial personality, which cannot be cured in later generations, and antisocial personalities are not necessarily perverted, but they generally have no empathy, that is, they can't feel the pain of others, so antisocial personality is also called a ruthless personality.

Zhou Liang should be a more typical antisocial personality, so he can't control himself in many things, and he is usually moody, although he has made a lot of contributions in the army, but he has also offended many people, and later because of the abuse and killing of an important nobleman of the Liao State, the army was originally going to ask him for blame, even if the Zhou family couldn't protect him, but Li Zhang felt that this Zhou Liang was still useful, so he secretly saved him, for which the Zhou family was also grateful to Li Zhang.

"Mrs. Zhou also wiped her tears when she mentioned her son, and listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that she wants her son to return to Beijing, after all, she doesn't know where her son is now?" Aoori also sighed at this time.

"That's not good, after a person like Zhou Liang sees blood, it's like a knife opening the seal, and sooner or later he will see blood in a place like the capital, instead of letting the people of our Great Song Dynasty bleed, it is better to let him go outside to see blood, and in the end, maybe he can raise a peerless knife!" Li Zhang immediately shook his head when he heard Qingori's words.

Although he hadn't seen Zhou Liang's mother, he had heard from the Cao family that the other party seemed to love Zhou Liang's youngest son very much, and he didn't know if Zhou Liang's current personality had anything to do with this Mrs. Cao Zhou?

"Well, can you tell Mrs. Zhou some news about her son, I think she is really worried, after all, her mother is worried, and the way she looks at her as a mother is really unbearable." Qingzhi pleaded for Mrs. Zhou again at this time, she rarely asked Li Zhang about things outside, but as a mother, she really couldn't bear to see Mrs. Zhou cry when she saw her.

"That's no problem, her son is now majestic, leading a large army to clear the natives on the sea trade in the South Seas, although it is a little bitter, but if it succeeds, the court will reward him in the future." Li Zhang said with a smile at the moment, family affairs and state affairs are sometimes really indistinguishable so clearly.

"Nanyang? Isn't that a barbarian land, I heard that there are miasma poisonous insects everywhere over there, and even the local natives eat people, if Mrs. Zhou knows that her son has gone there, I am afraid that she will have to wipe her tears with worry again. Qingori was stunned at first when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then said in surprise.

"This matter is a long story, so let's go to General Zhou and talk to him personally, and then he will tell Mrs. Zhou, I just have something I want to discuss with the Zhou family." Li Zhang thought about it at this time and said again.
