Chapter 172 Motivation Zhou Cang

"It's fine."

Zhang Shuo nodded and agreed with Ma Ling's meaning. After all, Wang Zhi's next stop is to go to Fanyang County, Youzhou, and he will not go to Liaozhou in the past two months.

At that moment, Zhang Shuo gave Chen Yijun's contact information to Ma Ling. With the five brothers and sisters of the Chen family as the center, the Tianqing Intelligence Station was the only player organization in Qianguo that could quickly transmit the information collected in reality to Zhang Shuo anytime and anywhere. As long as Ye Chenxi gets in touch with Chen Yijun, then he can immediately get in touch with Zhang Shuo.

After confirming some relevant matters, Ma Ling got up and went back to resume his life. And Zhang Shuo let him go back after politely retaining him a few times to no avail, just handed him a pound of cloud tea and asked him to transfer it to Ye Chenxi on his behalf, which was regarded as a greeting gift to him.

Of course, Zhang Shuo's main purpose is to promote the tea of Donghai County and want to reach a tea trade with it. After all, although Donghai County is not as good as the two top tea towns of Fujian and Suzhou, it is also rich in tea, and there are high-grade teas such as Yunwu tea as a specialty. Before the passage between these two places to the northeast was opened. There is no problem for Yunwu Tea to monopolize the tea market in the Northeast.

"How do you feel about this trip?"

After sending Ma Ling away, Zhang Shuo asked Zhou Cang with a little concern.

"Thank you for your kindness, and everything will be fine in the end." Zhou Cang replied respectfully.

"Along the way, does Wang Zhi have any unusual behavior? What is the strength of those pirates along the way? ”

After getting Zhou Cang's affirmation, Zhang Shuo nodded with satisfaction and directly asked the purpose of his purpose for coming over to the other party this time.

"Wang Zhi's negotiations with pirates from all walks of life along the way are all cover-up, and they do everything possible to obstruct the participation of the last general. So much so that the last general had no way to make any contact with those pirate leaders, and it was not clear what the dividends they negotiated would be. Other than that, Wang Zhipan had no other changes. ”

Thinking of Wang Zhi's exclusion of himself along the way, Zhou Cang was a little depressed and very angry. After breathing a sigh of relief, he continued: "The pirates along the way are uneven in strength, but there are few forces that can compare to the scale of our Qianguo Beifu Naval Army.

The strongest pirate force is undoubtedly Sun En, who is known as the "pirate ancestor" among pirates. The fleet under his command is much stronger than Wang Zhi at the beginning. If we engage it, I'm afraid the chance of winning will be very low! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Shuo nodded, he understood that Zhou Cang didn't want to fall too far into the name of the Qianguo Naval Army, so he said so, if the two sides really fought on the sea, I am afraid that the Qianguo, who has the top naval commander Xie Xuan, will only be defeated and escape.

After all, Sun En is different from Wang Zhi, and until now, the pirate group under his command has not suffered any heavy losses, but has been annexing the surrounding pirate forces and thriving. On the other hand, on the Qianguo side, the warships basically came from capture. Sailors are mostly recruits. really fights on the sea, even if it is Xie Xuan, it is difficult to use a group of recruits to win against those habitual bandits under Sun En.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo pretended to wave his hand easily and said, "General Yuanfu rest assured, as far as Gu knows." In recent days, the Wudoumi sect under Sun En's rule has frequently appeared in the six counties of Langya. I'm afraid they are deliberately involved in the battle of Langya County. ”

"The monarch wants to surprise Sun En's naval army when he marches into the interior?" As soon as Zhou Cang heard the news, he immediately guessed Zhang Shuo's general intentions.

"If you can do it, it's a great opportunity. But we have to look at the development of the situation in Langya County first. If necessary, we will add a fire ourselves. Sun En's strength is far better than Wang Zhi at the beginning, to deal with them, either he doesn't make a move, or if he wants to make a move, he will completely defeat their water army, leaving no trouble! ”

"The last general doesn't understand these zigzag things. Wherever the king points out, the last general will rush there. Zhou Cang touched his head and said with a smile.

Regarding Zhou Cang's thoughts, Zhang Shuo said with some hatred: "Yuanfu, Yuanfu, I am interested in cultivating you, thinking that you will be able to lead a naval army alone in the future." You only know how to fight and kill all day long, how can this make Lone feel at ease to hand over an army to you! ”

When Zhou Cang heard Zhang Shuo's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, he never thought that he had such a high status in the eyes of his own monarch. I was a little depressed for a while, feeling that I was ashamed of Zhang Shuo's high hopes.

"The last general is ashamed of the king's cultivation and hopes that the king will forgive his sins. In the future, the last general will definitely ask General Xie and General Zhao more about the management of the army, and live up to the love of the monarch! ”

"If you have this awareness, it is the best."

Listening to Zhou Cang's bold words, Zhang Shuo nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "This time, Wang Zhi went to Liaozhou, and along the way, he had already negotiated with the big and small pirates along the way, and completely opened up the route from the Qianguo to the North.

Therefore, I promised before that the matter of receiving Fan Yangzu's family to take refuge in our Qianguo should also be put on the agenda. The next time Wang Zhi goes to sea, Gu will also send a part of the Qianguo Navy to accompany him. Considering that there will be some dangers on the road, Lone is ready to let you go with Wang Xianming. I don't know if you are willing to go along with Yuanfu and go on another journey? ”

"The last will go!" Seeing that Zhang Shuo had arranged a new task for himself, Zhou Cang nodded without hesitation and agreed. Originally, what he did in Qianguo was just to repay Zhang Shuo's kindness. But now it's different, he wants to prove himself to Zhang Shuo, and he can also become a general in the first army in the future.

Looking at Zhou Cang, who was full of confidence, Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded, and at the same time, he patiently advised: "It's a good thing to have confidence, but this task is not simple." Zu Ti told me before that Shile of Later Zhao State of Jizhou, Gao Huan of Northern Qi State and Xuanye of Liaodong County of Youzhou. They have sent people one after another, and have vigorously invited them to come out many times. During the period, there was no lack of coercion and temptation, which shows that this voyage is destined to be more auspicious than lucky. Yuanfu, you must be ready for battle at any time! ”

"Don't worry, as long as the last general still has a breath of air, he will never let them hurt a single hair of the ancestral clan!"

Zhang Shuo nodded, and didn't say anything, so he asked Zhou Cang to retreat first to rest. And according to the schedule set in advance, he went to the Baigong Division to check the recent work of Cui Hongdan and Li Yun in recent days.

The Baigong Division is located in the south of Beiya, only a few dozen meters away from the weapons workshop. Under the escort of Wang Yanlong, Zhang Shuo came here in a moment.

"Cui Hongdan, director of the Department of Hundred Industries, knocked on the monarch."

"The Hundred Engineers Division is engaged in Li Yun knocking on the monarch."

"Get up. Don't be inhibited. ”

Zhang Shuo personally helped Cui Hongdan up and said to Li Yun. Then he took the two of them and walked straight into the Baigong Division.
