Neither of these two could become Liu Renyuan's backers in the court. So Zhang Zheng did move the idea of taking Liu Renyuan into his pocket.

Three gangs of a hero, above the court, it is difficult to move an inch without helpers. Zhang Zheng wants to take a completely different path from his predecessors.

And the reformers in history did not end well. Zhang Gongjin transferred Zhang Daxiang back to Chang'an, which was also based on this psychology.

Zhang Gongjin's status is too high, and there are too many eyes staring at him. There are many things that he can't do personally, and it's easy to be caught.

But the younger son needs a helper, so it makes sense to bring the older son back. Another reason is that Zhang Zheng heard Liu Renyuan's name in later generations.

So as a traverser, the talent gathering habit is committed again. A person like Liu Renyuan has his own ability, but because he has no backer in the court.

Therefore, when people reach middle age, they are mixed with a general who is a guide to Germany from the fourth grade, and he doesn't even get a title.

Such a person is completely tailor-made for himself. It's just that this matter can't be rushed, and Zhang Zheng is also very clear.

Liu Renyuan has Liu Renyuan's pride, and with his current status, it is not enough to give Liu Renyuan the benefits that make him tempted.

I woke up too early in the morning, and it was boring on the boat. So Zhang Zheng decided to get some sleep. …… Compared to the speed of going down the canal, the speed of going up the river is much slower.

If you want to transfer to the Xiangjiang River, it will take at least about ten days. So Zhang Zheng had to do something to make himself less boring.

This is where chess, which is simpler than Go, but more interesting, comes into play. As for the opponent, Li Chengqian is Zhang Zheng's ready-made opponent.

Datang also has a military flag similar to chess, but the rules are extremely simple and there are not many ways to play. Therefore, as soon as chess appeared, it won unanimous praise from everyone.

Today is the seventh day that Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian spent on the ship. played chess for seven days in a row, even if it was Zhang Zheng

The "inventor" also began to dislike this game incomparably! According to Du Cong, at this time, everyone had arrived in Ezhou, which was later Wuhan.

Zhang Zheng could only vaguely discern that he should be in the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain. And Du Chung told Zhang Zheng that this piece of water is called Yunmeng Daze.

But what Ze Zhang Zheng is not in the mood to watch now. Because Li Chengqian seems to have a very high talent for chess.

In just a few days, he went from a novice to a master. After Zhang Zheng got the chess out, Li Chengqian was only unfamiliar with the rules at the beginning, and was killed by Zhang Zheng.

But the next day, he was able to kill Zhang Zheng back and forth. Now he directly pressed Zhang Zheng, the inventor, to the ground and rubbed it.

After Li Chengqian's flying cannon ate Zhang Zheng's last horse, he heard bursts of exclamations outside.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, uncle, there are people rafting!" Chen Yu's exclamation came from the deck outside.

It immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian.

", no more!" Zhang Zheng angrily swept the chess pieces on the chessboard all over the ground with his sleeves.

This is already his tenth consecutive kneeling in Li Chengqian's hands. Now Chen Yu's voice came, just taking the opportunity to get out.

Li Chengqian sneered again and again, and did not stop Zhang Zheng from looking at his scoundrel appearance. After Zhang Zheng finished sending out an evil fire, he stretched his waist.

Grunted: "There are people boating on the river, what's so strange!" It's strange that no one is rafting! But he got up and pulled the door open and walked out of the room.

But as soon as he walked out of the room, he seemed to see a ghost, and shouted at Zhang Zhengwei in the room: ", Brother Zheng'er, there is really someone boating!" Zhang Zhengzheng was angry, and replied impatiently when he heard this: "This is the big river, someone is just boating, what are you making a fuss about!" As he spoke, he shrugged open the door and walked to the deck.

",,!" And then there is the quintessence of the three. Zhang Zheng rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

There are indeed people rafting. However, it is not a boat in the general sense. Rather, it is a bamboo raft that can only be seen in some gentle river.

You must know that although the river is now in the dry season, the wind is not too strong, and the waves are not high. But big waves of one or two meters still appear occasionally.

Not to mention the bamboo raft, even a slightly smaller fishing boat would not dare to row directly to the center of Daze like this!

And Zhang Zheng saw something. Two young people, standing on a bamboo raft that can only accommodate two people.

The bamboo raft was lapped back and forth by the waves, but the two young men on the bamboo raft did not move at all.

"Hell, I'm really!" Zhang Zheng was so surprised that he was incoherent for a while. This is the great river of the Tang Dynasty.

But it is not the Yangtze River, which has been built with countless dams in later generations, and the water surface has become as gentle as a canal.

Those two people dare to boat on a small bamboo raft in Yunmengze, is this fatal? Looking at the appearance that the bamboo raft might be swept away by the waves in the river at any time, Zhang Zheng seemed to have seen the two of them finally buried in the belly of the fish.

Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian came to Chen Yu's side, but saw Chen Yu staring at the two young men in the river with a solemn face.

"This is a master!" Zhang Zheng also found out that something was wrong at this time. The two were so steady, as if they had become one with the bamboo raft.

The person who was manipulating the bamboo raft couldn't see his face clearly because he was too far away. But I could vaguely see that this person was wearing a cyan robe.

Holding a long bamboo pole in his hand. Every time the bamboo pole taps the river, the bamboo raft will move forward a distance as fast as an arrow from the string.

Then he was pushed back a few meters by the oncoming waves. The other person was carrying a huge gourd behind him.

The gourd was half a man tall. Zhang Zheng has never seen such a huge gourd in reality, and it is estimated that in Journey to the West, the gourd that Sun Wukong conjured up to hold the sky is so big.

"Wait, these two people ......" Zhang Zheng's eyes became a little strange. Li Chengqian held on to the railing on the deck, and said to Zhang Zheng in a somewhat strange tone: "Why are these two people dressed up so much like the two people in Duan Heng's mouth?" ”

"It's not like, it's it!" Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong look of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Aren't they in Hedong, how can they appear in Yunmeng Daze again!"

"I don't know, coincidence, it should be. Anyway, pull over the boat! Zhang Zheng gave an order to Du Cong, and Du Cong let the sailors at the helm deviate slightly from the ship's course.

Then he hit the bamboo raft on the river!

"Hey, two strong men, in Xia Zhang Zheng, please get on the boat for a while?" The two people on the bamboo raft had already discovered the big boat that Zhang Zheng and the others were on.

And at a glance, it was recognized that this was a cruiser unique to the Datang Naval Division.
