Chapter 33 Turning Back

"Yes—" Lu Li raised his hand and saluted, and his voice was somewhat frustrated.

Unlike Yu Tonghai, the son of the sailor Wanhu, he knew almost nothing about the ocean. And the tradition in the bones of the Central Plains people made him feel that if he died on land, his soul would be converted. And leading a fleet to the vast sea, if you don't get it right, it will be the consequence of dying outside the territory and dying without a place to bury.

"Louder... I can't hear..."Zhu Chongjiu glared at him fiercely and shouted orders. Since you all want me to make a statement, I'm going to listen to you today. Let's see who's more uncomfortable...

"Yes..."Lu Li's legs snapped together, and he raised his hand between his foreheads, "The last general obeys..."

"Then pack up, go to Mr. Su early tomorrow morning to get your diploma, and set off by boat!" Zhu Chongjiu commanded again, turned around, and left happily.

It's nice to be a dictator, at least without having to worry too much about other people's thoughts and feelings. However, this pleasure lasted only a few minutes before disappearing without a trace. Su Mingzhe greeted him with a gold-covered cane and bowed to him from afar. "Lord, Weichen is waiting here..."

"Do you have anything else?" Zhu Chongjiuxin stopped, and there was a bit of emptiness in his inquiring voice, "What you said, I will seriously consider it." Yu Tonghai, I have not been punished too heavily, the size of the Qingdao escort will not be smaller than the Yellow River fleet of the Navy Division in the future..."

"The minister is not bothering the lord for these things..."Mr. Su explained very knowingly, and then quickly added, "General Xiao Peng has returned, waiting outside the door to meet the lord. ”

"General Peng? Which little Peng general? Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly, no matter what, he couldn't find a young hero surnamed Peng in his memory.

"It's Peng Zaozhu, Peng Da's eldest son. A few days ago, I followed Peng Da to Bianliang, and today I don't know why I secretly ran back again..."Although Mr. Su's ability is limited, he is quite competent as a secretary. smiled and added in a low voice, "I guess I went to Bianliang's side, and I felt that it was completely different from what I thought before, so I remembered the benefits of the lord's side again..."

"Hmm......" Zhu Chongjiu groaned and rubbed his temples lightly. Dealing with these old and young people is more tiring for him than carrying a knife to the battlefield himself. At least, on the battlefield, he knows which is the enemy and which should be killed. In the face of Zhao Junyong, Peng Da, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, he has too many fetters on him.

"My lord, listen to what he has to say. I know that person from Peng Da has a bad temperament, but he is straight-hearted. Unlike Zhao Junyong, his stomach is full of twists and turns..."Mr. Su glanced at Zhu Chongjiu and whispered to advise.

"Okay..."Zhu Chongjiu nodded slightly. Now that he's here, I can't say anything if I don't see him. You have someone bring him in, I'll be waiting for him in the second hall..."

The so-called second hall is actually a side hall next to the council hall. It was used as a place for Zhu Chongjiu to take a short-term break in the middle of official business. At the same time, it also means that the people you meet and deal with are all private matters and have little to do with official affairs.

As an old official, Mr. Su certainly understands Zhu Chongjiu's arrangement. He said yes and left in small steps. After about a quarter of an hour, Peng Zaozhu was led to the designated room.

Zhu Chongjiu had already ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks, and when he saw Peng Zaozhu entering, he got up and took a few steps to greet him, and said with a smile: "Why did you run back by yourself?" What about Mr. Peng, is he okay? What about others? How are you doing? King Xiaoming's enthronement ceremony was lively, wasn't it? Are there many people participating? ”

"Uncle Eighty-One..."Peng Zaozhu blushed and bowed. Thank you Uncle Eighty-One for your concern, my father and they are all right. King Xiaoming's enthronement ceremony"

Grinning slightly, he didn't know how to describe it. From now on, King Xiaoming should be called King Song, and it is said that he will return to his ancestral surname and be the first generation of grandchildren of the Zhao family. In order to show orthodoxy, Bianliang came up with a whole set of extremely cumbersome etiquette. The ultimate in luxury. But the feeling for everyone is similar to the scene of the Mongolian princes and lamas who routinely worshiped the gods and Buddhas every year in the past, but the worshippers changed a few people.

Peng Da felt very depressed that day, and when he returned to the residence specially given to everyone by His Royal Highness King Song, he was full of complaints. Pan Lezi also felt very embarrassed, when Sesame Li was alive, he didn't squander people's wealth so much. King Xiao Ming has no size, but he is like a god who is offered high above everyone's heads, how awkward it is. However, Zhao Junyong, whether before or after the ceremony, had a hot fight with Zuo Prime Minister Du Zundao. I can't wait to wear the same pants.

'The surname Du fell in love with the soldiers and horses in the hands of everyone, and wanted to pull everyone together to deal with Liu Futong...' Immediately, Pan Lezi said in a low voice to break the facts. There was discord within the Bianliang Red Scarf, Liu Futong led the main force to attack Luoyang, and what was lost to Du Zundao and Luo Wensu was just an empty shell. And Zhu Chongjiu was in Yangzhou, although he deprived everyone of their power, he allowed the rest of their descendants to be retained. And the supply of ordinary food and salary is all compared with the Huai'an army, and there has never been any shortage.

Comparing the two, the superiority is immediately clear. In particular, although Zhu Chongjiu himself is rich and rivals the country, his eating and drinking consumption is as simple as sesame plums. And Du Zundao and Luo Wensu and others, how they squandered it, it made people doubt their future.

So Peng Da and others began to regret it at that time, feeling that they should not be in the way of face for more than half a year, and they never accepted Sesame Li's will. But if you lead the soldiers and horses and turn back, I am afraid that with the current ability and strength, you will be sealed at most. I have to give Xu Da, Hu Dahai, and Wu Liangmou a hand, and I can't let go of my face no matter what.

So the two sides discussed and discussed, and simply decided to mix around Bianliang for a while now to see if there was a new opportunity for an independent portal. But in order not to have no way out in the future, he sent all the juniors back. Anyway, they are all Zhu Chongjiu's sons and nephews, even if they are soldiers for their own uncle, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's just that these private calculations really can't be said explicitly. So Peng Zaozhu was sweating profusely, stammered for a while, and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, how could Zhu Chongjiu not know that he had other hardships in his heart? So he patted the other party on the shoulder a few times, smiled and comforted: "I'm tired on the road, just come back." Later, we will go out for a meal, and we will talk while drinking. ”

"Uncle Eighty-One, I, my father" Peng Zaozhu's face turned redder, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became more dense. Along the way, he thought a lot of words after meeting Zhu Chongjiu, but when it came to the end, he found that he didn't need it at all. When everyone left, it was not a bad thing for Huai'an Jun and Zhu Chongjiu himself. And his little brothers were ordered to come back, and it didn't help the Huai'an army.

In other words, the Huai'an Army was built for Zhu Chongjiu. It doesn't have much to do with the other red scarves. If you want to say that you owe, it is also that others owe the Huai'an Army mostly, and the Huai'an Army owes very little to others. Therefore, there is no affection between the two sides, and it is self-inflicted humiliation to make any excessive demands.

Thinking of this, Peng Zaozhu took two steps back, and with a very awkward posture, he carefully saluted Zhu Chongjiu again with a Huai'an military salute, "Uncle Eighty-One, my father said that he couldn't pull it down, so he couldn't turn back." But, Pan Feng and Zhang Mao are juniors, and they want us to serve under your account. Even if it starts as a small soldier, it is willing..."

"You guys, come and be a soldier under my tent?" The faces of several teenagers quickly flashed in front of Zhu Chongjiu's eyes, and he raised his hand to return the salute, hesitantly asking. Compared with ordinary folk teenagers, Peng Zaozhu and others can be regarded as the queen of the gate, whether it is physical or military, they are much higher. But a few people were directly reduced from the heirs of the princes of one side to ordinary soldiers, and the gap was too big... Zhu Chongjiu himself couldn't adapt to it, and it was even harder to believe that the other party would be willing.

"My father and Uncle Pan both said that Uncle Eighty-One is fair here, as long as we are willing to work hard, we will not worry about our future..." So as not to cause a misunderstanding as soon as we met, "Pan Feng and I have both been on the battlefield, although Zhang Mao and they are younger. In the past few years, I have also specially invited the head of the sect to work on martial arts, so if you become a soldier, you will not be embarrassed by your fathers..."

"Okay, it's good if you have this thought..."Zhu Chongjiu groaned slightly, smiled and waved his hand. He can understand the thoughts of Peng Da and Pan Lezi, so there is no need to push back. Moreover, being able to let the other party send the child back shows that some of Huaiyang's practices have gradually been recognized by the world, and they are not as useless as he previously thought. "Then you will first go to the lecture hall to study a one-year crash course. Positions are then arranged on the basis of merit according to the criteria of graduates. The training on the Huai'an Army's side is relatively systematic, and you should study more carefully. In the future, even if you don't stay to help me, you can go back to help your father..."

"Thank you Uncle Eighty-One for your success..."Peng Zaozhu happily saluted a lame military salute and smiled.

"Go ahead, tell them as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest assured. Remember to come over for dinner in the evening, I'll give you a few pick-ups, Taibai Lou..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and waved his hand, giving the other party another reassurance.

Peng Zaozhu happily agreed, turned around and retreated. Zhu Chongjiu also felt quite touched in his heart, looking at the other party's back and exhaling gently. Mr. Su looked at him from the side, walked forward, and laughed and laughed, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, Zhou Gong spit out, the world is in the heart..."

"Get out..."Zhu Chongjiu's interest was interrupted, he glared at him, and scolded with a smile, "This time, are you happy?" If I were King Wen of Zhou, you would be Jiang Ziya, throw it to the Weishui River first, and catch fish for twenty years..."

"The minister is willing to do anything for the lord..."Su Mingzhe took over the conversation, his face full of flattery.

"Bullshit, all mouths are like honey. In fact, I still have to listen to you in the end..."Zhu Chongjiu rolled his eyelids and said abruptly, "In the end, I am the lord, or you are the lord." The devil knows..."
