Jiang Zhengyang's face was not good-looking, and he looked at Zuo Xingjian coldly and said, "Have you forgotten our agreement" Their previous agreement was that Jiang Zhengyang would leave 500,000 catties of grain for him, but only after Jiang Zhengyang left here smoothly.
Zuo Xingjian smiled and said: "Adults don't have to be careful, they are here to ensure the safety of adults, not to doubt the integrity of adults."
Although he has left Jiang Zhengyang's command for many years, he still maintains a lot of respect when facing Jiang Zhengyang.
Jiang Zhengyang scolded secretly in his heart, it is to blame that your Zuo Xingjian's vision is so narrow, worried that Lao Tzu will break his promise and refuse to fulfill the 500,000 catties of grain he gave you, Jiang Zhengyang, how could anyone do such a backshit, although he was annoyed in his heart, but he had to hold back his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Jianjian, I just don't want to involve you."
What he said is also the truth, keep Zuo Xingjian, and try not to let others think that Zuo Xingjian also participated in this grain grabbing.
If Zuo Xingjian can stay out of the matter and continue to defend Baiquan City, it will also be a good thing for him, and in the future, Zuo Xingjian can also respond to the counterattack on Wuxing County.
Jiang Zhengyang played wishful thinking, how could this Zuo Xingjian not be a person who did big things, only staring at the 500,000 stone grain, seeing this greedy and frightened gaze, Jiang Zhengyang realized that he had found a pig-like teammate.
Zuo Xingjian is not as stupid as Jiang Zhengyang thought, he also sees the situation very clearly, Jiang Zhengyang swept away 100,000 stone grain from the imperial court is not a trivial matter, this incident happened in Baiquan City, he is difficult to get out of the relationship, even if he successfully gets the 500,000 catties of grain given to him by Jiang Zhengyang, he can't stay in Baiquan City, the origin of this grain can't be kept secret at all, and the only way to do this now is to follow Jiang Zhengyang to advance and retreat together, and only by escaping to Yunze Bixin Mountain can he temporarily escape the encirclement of the imperial court.
Zuo Xingjian did not want to rebel.
He just wants to eat, the court doesn't pay food, and if this continues, they will either freeze to death or starve to death, so it's better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death.
Zuo Xingjian said: "Hu Xiaotian is really willing to hand over the hard-earned grain.
In the eyes of most people, Hu Xiaotian has done a stupid thing.
Jiang Zhengyang said: "He just doesn't want to be the target of public criticism." ” Zuo Xingjian said with a confused face: "What" Jiang Zhengyang didn't bother to explain to him.
The horse marched forward.
The snow in the south of the Yangtze River is also so gentle and graceful, tiny, shrouding the whole world in a haze, and when night falls, the visual distance becomes shorter.
Hu Xiaotian walked out of the warm cabin and came to the bow deck, his eyes were much stronger than ordinary people, and he saw that the river in front of him was gradually becoming wider, and there were lights faintly flickering not far in front of them.
It was the ship they were traveling with.
There was a conversation between Gao Yuan and Xia Changming behind him, since he saw the scene of Xia Changming manipulating the snow sculpture, Gao Yuan admired Xia Changming so much that he threw himself to the ground, and at this moment he was pestering Xia Changming to ask about the beast.
Hu Xiaotian turned around and said with a smile: "Gao Yuan, don't always pester Changming, let him have a good rest." ” Gao Yuan said: "Yes, but I didn't pester him, I was asking for advice" Hu Xiaotian smiled and beckoned to Xia Changming.
Xia Changming came to his side and said respectfully: "Lord Hu" Hu Xiaotian said: "The front is Yunze." ” Xia Changming said: "Do you want to attack those water thieves?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes."
When they load all the food on the ship and sail to the shore, we will attack. ” Xia Changming said: "What do you need me to do?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Xia Changming with a smile, in fact, Xia Changming had already helped him a lot, and he had taken control of the enemy's location in advance, and he admitted that he still lacked understanding of Xia Changming.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Can Changming drive a group of flying birds to consume their bows and arrows first" Although Hu Xiaotian estimated that the number of water thieves would not be too much, each ship would also be equipped with the necessary defensive forces, Jiang Zhengyang was not a fool, while loading grain on the ship, he should send his own soldiers to escort him.
Losing the opponent's bow and arrow minimizes your own casualties.
Xia Changming nodded and said, "There are many birds that spend the winter near Yunze, I can drive the birds to attack them, although it won't cause too many casualties, but it shouldn't be a problem to lose their bows and arrows." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Changming, this matter will be left to you, remember to pay attention to safety." ” After receiving the order, Xia Changming turned around and went, called for the snow sculpture to come, and rode the snow sculpture to leave first.
Gao Yuan looked at Xia Changming's back, full of envy and said: "If I have Brother Changming's ability, it will be amazing" Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Then ask people for advice, sincerity is open, I think Changming is also a kind person, as long as you study in good faith, he may not be unwilling to teach you." ” Li Yongfu came to Hu Xiaotian's side at this time and said: "My lord, I have entered Yunze, ten miles to the left is Qingyu Bay, and three miles to the right is Luoxia Bay, and the ships that arrived first have already gathered in Luoxia Bay. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Pass the order, prepare the rocket, and act in two parts, thirty ships will block their fleet on the way from Qingyu Bay to Bixin Mountain, and the other forty will go to Qingyu Bay to intercept the thief ships that have not left the mouth of the bay, this time the thief ships will inevitably be wiped out, and also, don't show the flag, don't reveal our identity, and fight quickly." ” "Yes" After Jiang Zhengyang's grain transportation team arrived at Qingyu Bay, he saw the dense ships at the mouth of the bay, Jiang Zhengyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, God blessed, although this snow slowed down their travel speed, but also covered their whereabouts, the strength of Heishui Village should not be underestimated, five hundred big ships, although there are less than ten regular war ships, but it is not easy for a water village.
Ruan Jingwu, the second leader of Heishui Village, came to meet Jiang Zhengyang, hugged his fists and saluted: "Ruan Jingwu of Heishui Village see Master Jiang" Jiang Zhengyang hugged his fists and saluted: "Ruan is invited."
Ruan Jingwu said: "The head of my family prepared a banquet in Bixin Mountain, just waiting for Lord Jiang to go to celebrate. ” The corners of Jiang Zhengyang's lips couldn't help but show a smile: "Okay, I thank Martha in advance for his kindness."
He said to Ruan Jingwu: "Load the ship as soon as possible, how many people have you come?"
Ruan Jingwu said: "Lord Qiqi Jiang, there are a total of 500 ships and 2,000 sailors, and the great master said that we only need to be responsible for sailing, and the safety along the way is the responsibility of the adults." ” Jiang Zhengyang was very happy in his heart, this Ma Xingkong seems to be an understanding person, if Ma Xingkong sent too many people to escort the boat, it would definitely arouse his own vigilance, and Ma Xingkong also showed considerable sincerity in making such an arrangement.
Jiang Zhengyang secretly thought in his heart, five hundred ships, it seems that they can take away all the 100,000 stone grains without going back and forth, at this time it was just dark, he waved his hand and said: "Send the order to go down, load the ship immediately." ” Ruan Jingwu said: "Put down the longboard, load the ship as soon as possible, and go to Bixin Mountain as soon as it is full." ” Jiang Zhengyang said: "Don't rush Ruan to be in charge, let's fill all the grain and leave together."
He had a modest smile on his face.
Ruan Jingwu was a little surprised, but he immediately understood what Jiang Zhengyang meant, people still couldn't believe them, and they wanted to leave with the five hundred ships in person, he was quite helpless in his heart, and secretly scolded Jiang Zhengyang for being too suspicious, but now in this situation, he can only agree with Jiang Zhengyang's approach.
When Ruan Jingwu went to direct the loading, Zuo Xingjian came to Jiang Zhengyang, gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Excellency is clever." ” Jiang Zhengyang snorted and said coldly: "I don't know what you're talking about." ” Zuo Xingjian said in a low voice: "These water thieves are capricious, we can't take it lightly, I have sent people to inspect these ships, in addition to loading food, we can probably have seven thousand people leaving with the ships, we must be in control of the situation by our own people." ” Jiang Zhengyang didn't treat him as his own, and said in a low voice: "You don't plan to stay in Baiquan City."
Zuo Xingjian said meaningfully: "Where the adults go, I will go, and only by following the adults can I have food." ” At this time, Jiang Zhengyang was full of expectations for the future, and he didn't expect that his suspicion was pushing him to a dead end step by step.
When he knew which ships full of grain did not go to Bixin Mountain in time, but waited at the mouth of the bay to assemble and all the ships left Qingyu Bay together, Hu Xiaotian really felt that his luck was against the sky, not only God helped him, but even the opponent also helped.
He immediately understood that Jiang Zhengyang must not trust the water thieves in Heishui Village, so he had to wait until the loading was completed and set off together. is in response to a sentence: Heaven is forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived, Jiang Zhengyang's arrangement is simply self-defeating.
Jiang Zhengyang can also be regarded as amazingly efficient, all the grain has been transported in the fourth watch, in addition to the 100,000 stone grain, they also have 7,000 people on board, Jiang Zhengyang is also in it, looking at the river bank that is gradually moving away, the stone hanging high in his heart finally landed, after arriving at the black water village of Bixin Mountain, he and his subordinates can recuperate, and when this army recovers, it will be flanked by Guo Guangbi's army in Xingzhou, and Wuxing County will be captured.
Zuo Xingjian stood beside Jiang Zhengyang and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Jiang, congratulations to Lord Jiang."
Jiang Zhengyang was a little more kind because the victory was in front of him, and he smiled: "What a joy?"
Zuo Xingjian said: "With this 100,000 stone of grain, adults can lead us to develop our ambitions."
He leaned close to Jiang Zhengyang's ear and whispered: "The prince and the general, I would rather have a kind of humility and swear to follow the lord to the death." ” Jiang Zhengyang's eyebrows moved, and he immediately laughed, he pointed to Zuo Xingjian's nose and said, "You can't talk nonsense."
Zuo Xingjian's words said to his heart, although Jiang Zhengyang and Guo Guangbi joined forces, but in his heart did not really bear Guo Guangbi, at present it is also a helpless choice, with this 100,000 stone grain, he has the capital to compete with any party, although Heishui Village is Ma Xingkong's territory, but Ma Xingkong has a total of only 8,000 people, and when all the troops under his command arrive at Bixin Mountain, they have already suppressed Ma Xingkong in terms of strength, and then the initiative will be in their own hands.
