It turned out that when Zhao Cheng left, he had already noticed that more than 30 boats of grain could not be supported for too long, so he left Zhang Boyu with the words 'It won't be long before I will come back'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And this sentence has now become a lifesaver for the Li Dynasty.

"Master Zhang, do you know when they will be able to return to the Li Dynasty." After listening to Zhang Boyu's words, Li Yanghuan couldn't wait to ask.

Zhang Boyu naturally didn't know the specific time of "this ......". But at this time, I don't know, so what I just said, isn't it just to tease Li Yanghuan? Now Li Yanghuan finally has some confidence in this anti-Song Dynasty, if he says it clearly, this blow, this little confidence that has just been established, will not be scattered all of a sudden.

Also, if Zhang Boyu tells the truth and says that he doesn't know, Liu Qingtan on the side will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and when the time comes, coupled with Li Yanghuan's anger, whether Zhang Boyu's little life can be saved, I can't say.

His eyes rolled and rolled, and Zhang Boyu said with a smile. "According to the time, it should be these few days, if the Hou Ye agrees, the minister is willing to go to the port to prepare for the meeting."

"That's right." Li Yanghuan was overjoyed.

Zhao Cheng's army arrived for the first time, holding muskets and small cannonballs, these two things, it was a great power.

The musket was about 500 meters away, and the enemy was killed with one shot. The small shells were even more violent, killing and wounding a large number of people in one explosion.

Relying on these two artifacts, Zhao Cheng's army was divided into dozens of squads, each of which had only a few dozen people.

At the beginning, Li Yanghuan was still a little worried, but the frequent good news from all over the country made him dumbfounded.

Many places reported that a mysterious army attacked, and the ball-shaped ball fell from the sky, the city wall collapsed, and the rebels fled, vulnerable to attack.

He was deeply impressed by that war. Thinking about the civil strife in a country that has not been quelled for five years and was pacified by thousands of people in a few days, the shock cannot be described in words.

Therefore, hearing that Zhao Shuo's army would come again, Li Yanghuan had confidence.

After retiring from the dynasty, Zhang Boyu gathered his officials and went to the port to meet Zhao Cheng.

As for whether Zhao Cheng will really come, Zhang Boyu actually has no bottom, after all, Zhao Cheng said that at that time.

But now, the words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back. He can only hope that Zhao Cheng will be able to arrive in the next few days.

Of course, if Zhao Cheng doesn't come, he has another hand, and that is to escape, escape from the sea, and then go to Zhao Shuo to ask for rescue. If Zhao Shuo doesn't rescue, he will rely on Zhao Shuo's realm and live for a long time.

Coincidentally, the day after Zhang Boyu arrived at the port, Zhao Cheng's army happened to arrive.

Zhang Boyu was overjoyed, but Zhao Cheng was stunned. He didn't notify anyone when he came this time, and as soon as he arrived here, Zhang Boyu was here to greet him, which was really incredible. Could it be that Zhang Boyu received a hint that he came here?

"Master Zhang!" Although there are doubts in my mind, the number of etiquette is still indispensable. Zhao Cheng arched his hand and spoke. "How did you end up in this place?"

"I'm here to wait for General Zhao." Zhang Boyu saluted and said.

"Wait for me?" Zhao Cheng was taken aback. "How did Master Zhang know that I was coming?"

"Didn't General Zhao say when he left that he would come back again?" Zhang Boyu explained with a smile. "I speculated that the general should be here in a few days, so I came over to greet him in advance."

"In that case, then Master Zhang will arrange for people to transport the grain." Zhao Cheng got straight to the point. "I'm here for food this time, and the price is still the same......" Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng smiled and lowered his voice. Mr. Zhang's share will naturally not be less. ”

"General, this time......" After looking at the seventy or eighty search ships in front of him, Zhang Boyu continued. I'm afraid that General Zhao is trying to empty the treasury of my Li Dynasty. ”

"Lord Zhang, the Li Dynasty is not short of grain, but the King of Song is short of grain, and now the Li Dynasty is the territory of the King of Song, and they trade with each other and communicate with each other, so naturally it should be no problem. Now that Mr. Zhang is saying this, isn't it a little out of sight? Zhao Cheng squinted his eyes and replied lightly.

"What General Zhao said is true, my Li Dynasty is the territory of the King of Song, and we should have supplied some grain, so this time, in order to fulfill our duties, we are willing to sell it to the general at a lower price." Zhang Boyu said.

"This ......" Zhao Cheng looked at Zhang Boyu, and really couldn't understand what kind of medicine Zhang Boyu was selling in this gourd. The price last time was already very low, and this time it was even lower, so Li Chao is really going to lose money this time.

"The general doesn't have to think about it, in fact, the reason why I did this is very simple, that is, after the Li Dynasty performs his duties, I hope that the King of Song can also fulfill his duties." Zhang Boyu said.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Cheng keenly smelled a different atmosphere.

"The Great Song Dynasty soldiers attacked the Li Dynasty in three ways, and my Li Dynasty is already in danger." Zhang Boyu did not hide it and told the truth.

"What? The Great Song Dynasty has conquered the Li Dynasty? Zhao Cheng was taken aback, and his face couldn't believe it.

"That's true." After answering in the affirmative, Zhang Boyu continued. "At the beginning, the King of Song promised me that if the Li Dynasty was in trouble, he would definitely support, and today the general is coming, I want to ......"

Zhang Boyu didn't say it all, but it was no different from saying it all. That is, Li Chao is in trouble, and he hopes that Zhao Cheng will come to the rescue.

Zhao Cheng was in a dilemma. The first time he came to help, he sent troops to help because of Zhao Shuo's order. This time, he came for the sole purpose of buying food. If you rashly send troops to help, once Zhao Shuo blames it, it will be a big sin.

"This is not a trivial matter, can I tell King Song." Zhao Cheng said.

"The Li Dynasty is far away from the King of Song, if you come and go, it will take a lot of time, I am worried that after the King of Song agrees, the Li Dynasty will be dead." Zhang Boyu voiced his concern.

When Zhao Cheng heard Zhang Boyu say this, he was stunned at first, but quickly figured out the reason.

Zhang Boyu didn't know that Zhao Shuo had already established a carrier pigeon transmission system, so he must have thought that Zhao Cheng was going to send someone to row back to report.

"In this way, I want to send someone to help you resist, and then send someone back to report to King Song, and after getting King Song's permission, I will send a large army ashore to help." After saying his thoughts, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhang Boyu. "I don't know if Master Zhang thinks this is feasible."

"Okay, okay, everything will be done according to General Zhao." Zhao Cheng agreed to help, Zhang Boyu was already very satisfied, how could there be too many requirements.

Subsequently, Zhao Cheng transferred five hundred men, and after allocating them with enough small cannonballs and muskets, he divided them into ten teams.

"Lord Zhang, please find a local guide to help them show the way." After arranging, Zhao Cheng said.

Although the number was a little small, these soldiers were holding small cannonballs and muskets, which made Zhang Boyu very relieved and satisfied.
