Chapter 726: Zu Li
Zhao Shi was tied up and escorted to the nearest county town, and when he entered the city, he looked up and saw two big characters "Qu Zhou" on the city gate.
Zhao Shi retracted his gaze and tried his best to check the location on the map given by Fu Tinghan, the mission should have bypassed Qu Zhou, and he didn't know where he was at this time.
At first glance, these people are from the army, and they don't know if he said that he was a deserter from the Zhao family's army, do they believe it?
I guess I don't believe it, the third sister is famous for being kind to the people and soldiers, how can there be deserters under her subordinates?
Gou Xi and Gou Chun are strict, it is possible to escape from them, yes, they are the Gou family army that ran out of Yanzhou.
Thinking about it like this, as soon as he saw someone, he immediately identified himself, "I am Zhou Shi of the Gou family army in Yanzhou, and we escaped to join the general."
The comrades who were also tied up by the flowers on the side were stunned, and they all looked at him in shock.
Zhao Shi turned his head to look at them without any difference on his face, and introduced, "These are all subordinates who are willing to escape with me."
Zuo Min, who chased them and almost ran to death, looked at them unkindly, and said to the person above: "General, this person can't be trusted, if he really comes to join us, what will he run?" And the group of routs said that there was a convoy with them at that time, and it seemed that there was a lot of treasure on it, and we searched around but couldn't find the convoy."
The general ignored the shouting Zuo Min, but looked Zhao Shi up and down, and after a while, he looked at the weapons collected by the soldiers on the side.
The soldier immediately presented Zhao Shi's spear.
The general flicked the head of the gun lightly, and the bright head of the gun made a crisp sound, he couldn't help but smile, and looked at Zhao Shi again, "You are the Zhao family, right?"
Zhao Shi denied it with a serious face, "Our Gou family army and Zhao family army have a common enmity, and the general Hugh wants to insult me!"
General: "As far as I know, there are many deserters and fugitives in Yanzhou, but they will not come to Jizhou, most of them go to Yuzhou, and the contradiction with Zhao Hanzhang is General Gou Dao, what do you ordinary soldiers have to do?"
"Moreover, only Zhao Jiajun has such a spear head," the general stroked the spear head and sighed, "I have heard that Zhao Jiajun has a special smelting technology, which can make iron into a harder and sharper thing, called steel. I didn't believe it before, but now I see that I'm alone."
Zhao Shi's face changed slightly, but he still insisted and said, "I am Yanzhou Army."
Only then did the general collect the gun, let them loosen their ties, and said, "In Xia Zu, I was looking for you to make the king defect, I wonder if the little general is willing to recommend?"
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, stared at him with wide eyes, and said with some suspicion after a while: "However, this is the territory occupied by the Xiongnu, how can the ancestor join the army here?"
Zu Ti was once recruited by the King of the East China Sea to join the army, but he resigned under the pretext of keeping filial piety.
Zhao Shi heard Zu Li's name more than once from the third sister, because Mr. Ji boasted of Liu Kun, and the third sister once said that Zu Li's talent and virtue were even higher than Liu Kun.
He knew that the third sister had always wanted to ask Zu Ti to be a general, but she couldn't find anyone, and she couldn't represent the imperial court's conquest all over the world, so she could only regret it in private.
Zhao Shi swallowed his saliva and looked at Zu Ti with blazing eyes, "Are you really Zu joining the army?"
Zu Ti smiled and bowed his head, "Yes, Quzhou County has been taken by me, I know that Zhao Yuanjun is strong in soldiers and horses, and he has recovered most of Sizhou at this time, so why not take Guangping County together?" When the time comes, Shangdang and Pingyang will be left alone, and the communication between them can be cut off, and it will be much easier for the imperial court to regain the lost territory if the imperial court wants to go north in the future."
Zhao Shi said, "How many troops do you need for this?"
They are now all pressed on the border to guard against Shi Le and Liu Cong, and they have to be careful of Gou Xi stealing from their homes in the rear, so they can't draw any troops at all.
Zu Ti said: "Don't worry about the troops, I can recruit now, but I don't have enough weapons and food and grass."
Zhao Shi understood, he wanted to defect to the third sister, but asked the third sister to give him grain, grass and weapons to fight Jizhou.
If this were someone else, he would definitely reject Zu Ti on the spot, which was too risky.
But Zhao Shi is a young man, it is when he doesn't know the height of the sky, the third sister said, nothing in this world is impossible, as long as
If they dare to think and do it, then there is hope for success.
He immediately said, "I will write a letter for you and the envoy."
Zu Ti laughed heartily and asked loudly, "The little general doesn't say that he is the Yanzhou Army now?"
Zhao snorted and said, "I'm not the group of generals in Yanzhou who can only be in the nest."
Zu Ti smiled slightly, sighed and said, "They are not all like that, those soldiers who followed Gou Dao General back then were all ambitious."
It's a pity.
Zu Ti: "I don't know what the little general is called?"
Zhao Shi then said, "Zhao Shi in Xia Xiping."
Zu Ti knew that he and Zhao Hanzhang were from the same family, but how could Zhao Jiajun come to Jizhou?
"How many of you are there?" Zu Ti said, "I asked the soldiers to pick them up, is it business to come to Jizhou at this time?"
Zhao Shi smiled embarrassedly, did not mention Zhao Xin and the others, and only said vaguely: "The general doesn't have to care about them, it is still important to fight Guangping County now, I will write back to Luoyang, and ask General Zu to send two people back to Luoyang with my guards."
The matter of the envoy to Zhongshan County is still a secret, even if Zu Li's character is good, Zhao Chengcheng can't say it.
When Zu Ti saw that he didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more and asked him to go down and rest.
As soon as he left, Zuo Min said unconvinced: "General, he doesn't believe us at first glance, why do we still have to cooperate with them?"
Zu Ti said: "They are obviously on order to travel, not to mention that we are still outsiders now, even if we are our own people, and the secret mission cannot be announced. You treat them politely, and you will have to work together in the future, and the relationship will be too stiff."
Zuo Min pursed his lips and asked, "Do we have to join the Zhao family?" In fact, with the general's current power, we can take the entire Quang Binh County in one go."
Zuo Min is a mountain bandit collected on Zu Ti Road, but he is actually a small castle owner.
Because Shile was too brutal and attacked the dock fort everywhere, he was forced to have no choice but to take the villagers to build the dock fort, and some people were not able to defend it, and the dock fort was labeled as a mountain bandit by the local county government.
And because he took in a lot of people and didn't have enough rations, he brought people out to grab things from time to time, and he really became a mountain bandit.
Zu Ti went all the way to the west, and he didn't know where Gou Xi heard about it, he was going to go to Zhao Hanzhang and send people to find him along the road.
In order to avoid Gou Xi's people, he made a detour everywhere, and walked around to this area, and happened to be robbed by Zuo Min, so he fought back and arrested Zuo Min.
Zuo Min also knew the current affairs, and immediately recognized Zu Ti as the boss and asked him to lead the entire Wubao.
Zu Ti just felt that it was impossible to find Zhao Hanzhang with his bare hands, and there were Gou Xi blocking him along the way, so he simply took the people from Wubao to beat up the nearby bandit nests.
Originally, he wanted to fight two or three thousand people and take them to Zhao Hanzhang together, but as a result, he beat Quzhou County.
It was also the county commander of Quzhou County who had to provoke him and send troops to suppress him, so he could only beat Quzhou County.
Zuo Min's hometown is here, he doesn't want to leave here, and he is not interested in Zhao Hanzhang, he thinks, if Zu Li is willing to defend one side here, then it is also good for him to be a second leader here.
However, Zu Ti's ideal is not to be a mountain bandit who dominates the party, what he wants is to unify the world, so he wants to follow the person who he thinks can lead him to dominate the world.
Zu Ti insisted on contacting Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Shi wrote a letter, he also wrote a letter, and the two letters were handed over to Yishi Chang together, and he led someone to send the letter back to Luoyang.
Zhao Shi stayed here and waited.
As for Zhao Xin and his party, Zhao Shi didn't say a word, counting it, they should have run away by now, right?
