Chapter 233 What is the intention?
"Wang Pengju went to Jieting to build a ship?" Guan Cheng straightened his waist in astonishment, and left the soft, warm, and fur-covered bed, and he felt cold behind him.
"How can it be Jieting?"
He was puzzled, put down the wine glass, shook his head, Guan Cheng was very suspicious that he had drunk too much, and he was a little dizzy, he scolded and ordered: "Go, give the old man a basin of water, idiot!" Don't be hot, be cold! You have to think about it carefully, what the hell is this Wang Pengju doing......"
"Okay, big boss." The minion turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Guan Cheng again.
Guan Cheng thought for a while, and added: "Take another map, don't draw it yourself, you want the one that Qucheng County Yali snatched, so that you can distinguish the landscape clearly." ”
The minions left, and when they went in and out, a gust of cold wind swept in from outside, blowing away the heat in the house, Guan Cheng was excited, and his drowsy brain was a little sober: "Evil Gate, really evil door, this New Year's Day, don't you stay at home well, do you really want to build a ship and use force?" Don't even leave a way to live? Shipbuilding, shipbuilding why go to Jieting? ”
I thought about it for a long time, until the minion came back with a basin of water, and he didn't come up with a reason. When he saw the strong man holding the map behind the minion, his eyes lit up.
"Third brother, you came just in time, help me to consult the details, what the hell is this Wang Pengju going to do?" As he spoke, Guan Cheng washed his face with his minions' hands.
"Hmm." The strong man replied in a low voice, watched Guan Cheng scratch and pull a few times on his face, and then wiped his face, his eyes showed a hint of clarity, and then he said in a muffled voice: "The big boss......"
Guan Cheng stiffened his neck, and shouted in his voice: "Third brother, I have said it many times, we are brothers, and we haven't come out of the five suits yet!" What are you doing so politely? Besides, even if you don't have this relationship, you are also a hero of Qingzhou, in the past two years, when it comes to the name of Beihai Guanhai, the children in Qingzhou dare not cry at night, aren't you going to kill me? It's called Xiao Wu, otherwise it's the fifth brother, his own brother, and he is not an outsider! ”
"Those who are in distress are not brave enough to speak......" Guan Hai's face was not as fierce as before, and there was a wry smile that was not commensurate with his fierce face at all.
"Hey, how many of them are smooth sailing on the green forest road? Back then, Emperor Gaozu was not chased and beaten by the overlord of Chu, and he lost and lost, didn't he have the 400 years of the Han Dynasty? ”
Guan Cheng waved his hand and made a nondescript analogy. Seeing that persuasion had no effect, he was also self-aware, so he laughed twice and brought the topic over.
"I'm not like you, the third brother, I haven't read a book, and I can't speak, but the truth in this world is always the same, I don't care about it a few times at a time, I learned a lesson, and I will be careful next time? Third brother, can you help me to refer to the details and see what the hell this Wang Pengju is doing? Going to Jieting Shipbuilding? What I think, how I feel that something is wrong. ”
As he spoke, he took the map, spread it out on the table, and pointed and explained: "Look, Jieting is here......"
Jieting is a small county town in the south of Donglai County, located on the northwest corner of Jiaozhou Bay in later generations. In this era, there was no name for Jiaozhou Bay, but the terrain was similar to that of later generations.
This bay is deep inland, the mouth is narrow and wide, the bay is calm all the year round, it is a natural harbor, and it is also very good to use it as a dock.
"The place is a good place, but after he finishes building a boat here, he has to make a big circle before he can come over...... Guan Cheng drew a circle along the Shandong Peninsula on the map.
Jiaozhou Bay is at the southern end of the peninsula, and the Liaodong Navy and Guan Cheng are at the northern end of the peninsula.
"Halfway through, it's either a poor country, or it's our territory, look at this, maybe we have to fight with those people in Liaodong halfway, we can sit back and relax! Third brother, what do you think? ”
Guan Hai was not familiar with the knowledge related to navigation, and after listening to Guan Cheng's explanation, he understood what the other party was wondering about, and he muttered: "I think it's not so simple, didn't Zhang Rao think that the millions of troops in their hands could win?" The result is not ...... Maybe he'll build a boat and bring it over the river and catch us off guard. ”
"I've thought about it." Guan Cheng nodded, shook his head again, and looked left and right around the map in distress: "But you see, except for the Dagu River, there are no rivers around!" Could it be that he will not only fly into the sky, but also move mountains and seas? ”
After floating on the sea for so long, he is quite familiar with the hydrology of Donglai and even Qingzhou, and in order to be safe, he deliberately took a map of Zhang Yutu, but after studying it for a long time, he just couldn't see the fame.
Although he didn't know how to sail, Guan Hai also knew what this brother, who was not a relative, was worried about.
In fact, he and Guan Cheng are fellow villagers with the same surname, and if they insist on saying it, they can indeed get a little kinship, but before they fell into the grass, the two families never moved.
Of course, this is not a problem, anyway, it is just a way to win over.
After Guan Hai left the Yellow Turban Army, he planned to go to Langya to seek refuge with Zang Ba, but halfway through, he got the news of the Battle of Mount Tai and Wang Yu's victory.
At that time, the Taishan thieves originally had the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but when they found that something was wrong, they withdrew again
When I went back, I was obviously timid. Guan Hai pondered, if he rushed here and sent it to the door stupidly, he would definitely be sent back to Mount Tai by Zang Ba as a gift.
After the Battle of Mount Tai, most of the bandits escaped from Qingzhou and Taishan, and only a few were not afraid of death, or those who loved their families slipped back, and the result was either exterminated by Tai Shici and the team, or they were cleaned up by the combination of pavilion chiefs and militias in various places.
In desperation, he could only go back to Donglai's hometown to join Guan Cheng.
Guan Cheng's martial arts are not high, but his cunning is far above Guan Hai. When Zhang Rao raised the flag, he also invited him, but he refused without thinking about it.
Guan Cheng thought very clearly, there were thousands of people under him, and Zhang Rao had hundreds of thousands, and if he joined in, he couldn't even afford to fight. Besides, he and his minions are at sea, going ashore to have fun with people, it's hard to see people's faces, it's better to be a soil emperor at sea.
His cleverness lies in his self-knowledge.
After discovering that Tai Shici's soldiers were approaching, Guan Cheng did not hesitate to give up a few nests on the near land, and moved all his belongings to the open sea islands such as Black Mountain and Big and Small Changshan Island, and by the way, he also looted the ships along the coast.
In Donglai at the moment, it is difficult to find a complete sampan, and no matter how strong the Qingzhou army is, it is impossible to fly across the sea. Avoid this period of limelight, and when the defense of Qingzhou is lax, Guan Cheng can swagger back.
However, Wang Yu sent someone to Liaodong Sailor for a trip, and then put on the current posture.
Is it really shipbuilding?
Or is it ...... He has reached an agreement with Liaodong to fight the east and the west and suppress the bandits together?
Guan Cheng didn't know the bottom in his heart, Guan Hai was not much better than the cheap brothers, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only propose in a decent way: "Why don't you send someone to take a trip to explore Liu Yi's tone?" ”
"It's useless."
Guan Chengtan said: "Although Liu Yi is not famous, he is also a scholar, and it is said that he is still Zheng Xuan's younger brother, and he is cunning." I have a lot of brothers, but they can only paddle and sail, pick up knives and cut people, and deal with this kind of ghost scholars, and it is useless to go to a hundred. If he really wants to sell us, it's better not to send someone, send someone to go, maybe he will be sold and help count the money. ”
Turning his head to look at Guan Hai, seeing that the other party had a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Guan Cheng smiled and asked, "Third brother, between our brothers, is there anything we can't say?" If you think of something, tell me about it? ”
After hesitating for a moment, Guan Hai gritted his teeth: "I want to, anyway, the general trend of Qingzhou has been decided, so let's just lower it." ”
"Drop?" Guan Cheng jumped up and stared at Guan Hai with an unbelievable look in his eyes, "Third brother, you ran all the way from Mount Tai to Langya, and then ran back to Donglai from Langya, just to surrender?" ”
The reason why Guan Cheng took in the other party and tried his best to encircle it was because he took a fancy to the other party's martial arts. In the battle of Zhu Xuan that day, Guan Hai slashed the general and captured the door, and his majesty was incomparable, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a famous Qingzhou, but it was bad luck that he met Wang Yu not long after.
Guan Cheng's martial arts are average, but his ambitions are not small, and he has always wanted to collect a fierce general, and Guan Hai, who he sent to the door, naturally became a sweet spot in his eyes.
Therefore, although he looked at the other party without any energy, he still treated each other politely. As a result, it was found today that the other party was not in a low mood, but even had no fighting spirit.
Because he was so surprised, his tongue was bigger, "You can tell me yourself, then, can you say it?" ”
"I wasn't sure if Wang Pengju would kill someone." When it comes to this, Guan Hai has nothing to hide, so he simply said it thoroughly, "There are always people outside who compare him with Huangfu Song, over the years, a certain hand is also stained with blood, who knows if he will ......"
"And now?" Guan Cheng squinted at Guan Hai, holding back the evil fire in his belly, which made his lungs hurt.
Guan Cheng's eyes were not good, but Guan Hai just didn't see it, "Zhang Rao's people ran away, some were entrenched in Jibei Kingdom, and some ran farther, Wang Pengju didn't chase and kill, and he spared Xu He, and even asked him to guard Juping!" Fifth brother, you must know that Juping is the gateway to Taishan County, if Xu He is restless, he will lead those people in the north ......"
Guan Cheng's face pulled down, and he said coldly: "Okay, third brother, don't say it, if you are afraid of death, I will let someone arrange a boat and send you ashore, everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force it, right?" If you still remember my feelings these days, you will not mention these words again, or else...... Hum. ”
"When you are in trouble, you will be taken in by the fifth brother, so naturally I will not abandon you at this time."
Guan Hai doesn't have much scheming, but he still sees the situation in front of him very clearly, after staying on the island for so long, he just leaves? How can it be so easy! If you really get on the boat, being buried in the belly of the fish is the only end.
"However, you have to think clearly, then Wang Pengju really has unpredictable abilities, in case he ......"
"As long as he is still human, I am not afraid of him!" Guan Chengda was impatient and said ruthlessly:
"I don't believe that he can build a big fleet in two or three months, and the sailors are easy to find, but it is so easy to build a big ship? If it's a small boat, he just fights the idea of a sneak attack, so there's nothing to be afraid of, just be well-prepared? Look at it, in less than half a year, he won't be as majestic as he is now, and when the time comes, who will be in charge of Qingzhou may not be able to tell, hahahaha! ”
