Chapter 486 Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai

A large water village on the bank of the Yangtze River appeared in front of me, and hordes of water thieves roamed around with weapons in their hands.

The outbreak of the war made the situation in Yangzhou tense, the number of passing business travelers dropped sharply, and even the life of water thieves was greatly affected.Therefore, the gate of the village is closed these days, relying on food reserves to survive.

Standing on the female wall, Jiang Qin showed a worried expression. Since he robbed the fleet of Yuzhang Shenchuan Chamber of Commerce that day, bad luck has come to him.First, the Yuzhang soldiers and horses stationed in Wankou and Ruxukou attacked everywhere, and the living space was severely compressed.Later, during the Yangzhou war, the situation deteriorated, so he had to hide in desperation.

Footsteps came from below, followed by that thick voice.

"Big Brother"

"It is said that the one we robbed was not the Shenchuan Chamber of Commerce, but Jia Yuzhang."

Zhou Tai said with a heavy tone.

Jiang Qin was startled and asked Zhou Tai.

"Who? Who said that?"

"Didn't Jia Yuzhang leave Yuzhang County for many years and only recently came back? And as soon as he came back, he killed [-] soldiers under Ji Ling's command."

"Great merchant Zhou Ping"

Zhou Tai replied.

Great merchant Jia Zhou Ping?It is said that the scale of the business here is quite large, and there is a lot of food.The reason why the water village can last until now is thanks to this person's secret funding.Not only that, it is said that nearly [-] water thieves, large and small, on the Yangtze River have received such favors, and [-] of them obeyed their orders.Of course, the latter piece of news was only known recently, and it was only circulated among the water thief leaders in the Yangtze River area.

With Zhou Ping's status, there must be no falsehood to say such a thing, that is to say, the caravan that was robbed was actually Jia Yuzhang.

No wonder the Yuzhang soldiers and horses stationed in Wankou and Ruxukou went crazy and wiped out the water bandits everywhere. It turned out that the root of the matter was here.

It's a big trouble. If only the Shenchuan Chamber of Commerce was robbed at the beginning, in today's Yangzhou war, I can sleep peacefully.But it was Jia Yuzhang who robbed, and the problem was too serious to be ignored.No one can guarantee that those Yuzhang soldiers will come to retaliate regardless of the war, because Jia Yuzhang's identity cannot be ignored there.

"Brother, do you know Zhou Ping's true identity?"

"Recently, it has been rumored that more than half of the water thieves on the Yangtze River have received his favor and obeyed him."

"What if my younger brother says this is not Zhou Ping's real identity?"

"Don't you know?"

"Just now Zhou Ping had an in-depth conversation with my younger brother, and I felt that what he said was reasonable, so I came here to find my elder brother."

Listening to the irrelevant answer, Jiang Qin seemed to have noticed something, showing a puzzled and confused look.

Seeing Jiang Qin's puzzled look, Zhou Tai explained to him.

"Zhou Ping's true identity is a descendant of the Zhou family in Lujiang, and he was ordered to run under the name of the Zhou family in the name of a merchant."

"And most of the water thieves in the Yangtze River were raised by the Zhou family."

"Tibetan soldiers and thieves are not uncommon among aristocratic families"

Jiang Qin showed a dignified expression when he heard these words.

I quickly weighed in my heart, and then sank to the bottom.

"It is rumored that the Lujiang Zhou family voted under Sun Ce's command, and its lord Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's military adviser. At this time, Zhou Ping told you about this matter because of the battle of Yangzhou?"

"exactly"

Zhou Tai replied to Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin gasped, how could his little arms and legs participate in the battle of Yangzhou?Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are facing each other tit for tat, and the battlefield is almost all over the land of the six counties.

"There are only a few hundred brothers in the village. If we get involved in this great battle, we will die in the blink of an eye"

"Brother, why should you underestimate yourself? On the contrary, I think this is a good opportunity to make contributions"

"You want to take refuge under Zhou's command?"

"No, Zhou Ping sees that our two brothers are strong, and wants to recruit us on behalf of General Sun. As long as we agree to join, we will be worshiped as Sun's generals, and we will control thousands of water thieves on the Yangtze River. Divide up and attack Yuzhang by surprise. Wankou went straight to Juchao, forming a pincer attack with General Sun's troops on the Lujiang prefecture."

"Let the two of us be generals? The Lujiang Zhou family is not afraid that we will take the opportunity to switch to Yuzhang?"

"Let's not talk about whether Yuzhang will take us in or not, just talking about these water thieves, once they violate Zhou's orders, will they obey them?"

Zhou Tai asked Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's impossible to obey my order to switch to Jia Yuzhang. If I expected it to be correct, there should be a lot of Zhou's children mixed in."

"Brother, are you really willing to be buried among the water thieves? Zhou Ping is right. People like us should fight to be famous in the battlefield, instead of being unknown in this water village."

"Do you know that this is dangerous?"

"Compared with Yang Wei's battlefield, what's so dangerous about it? Does the elder brother think that the business can continue in the future? Once the Lord of Yangzhou appears, is there still a way for me to survive on this section of the river? It's the same on the left and right. If General Sun can capture Lujiang, then he will be the prefect of Lujiang, and you and I can also become generals of Lujiang, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to lead an army?”

Zhou Tai said earnestly.

Jiang Qin looked hesitant, obviously he was moved by Zhou Tai's words, to be precise, he was moved by his unwillingness to be mediocre.

"Where is Zhou Ping?"

"Right in the village"

"If you don't come by yourself, let you act as a lobbyist?"

"My little brother came here voluntarily"

"If you are sincere, let him come in person."

"it is good"

Zhou Tai replied with a smile on his face, it seems that the eldest brother decided to join Sun Ce's command.What Zhou Ping said was right, with their plan, he and his elder brother would surely become famous in one battle.At that time, the soldiers who broke through Wankou and occupied Juchao entered the Lujiang County Mansion, and they made great achievements.

Listening to the hurried footsteps, Jiang Qin dispelled all the worries in his heart, and his eyes gradually became firmer as he looked around the water village.Now that the decision has been made, let the fate be handed over to the unknown future.

"I have seen the head of Jiang"

"Mr. Zhou has a good plan and actually persuaded Youping."

"Second boss is bold and hit it off right away, since he is willing to take a trip, he is naturally happy to see him"

"I have a doubt whether Mr. is willing to answer"

"I don't know what doubts the master has?"

"Why do you worship me as the general of the Sun family? When will the Zhou family be able to take the place of its master, the Sun family?"

"This is what my lord specially told me. It would be a pity if such a heroic person like Da Dang on the Yangtze River doesn't worship him as the leader of the Sun family."

"Sun Ce's military advisor Zhou Yu?"

"exactly"

"Since there are [-] rebel soldiers, why don't you go straight to Yuzhang? It is said that Yuzhang is empty, and it is time to send out a large number of troops."

"Yamagoshi"

Zhou Ping spit out these two words heavily.

Jiang Qin took a deep breath, some things were revealed at once, and there was no need to say more.

"When will the troops be dispatched?"

"The sooner the better"

"come"

"exist"

"Gather the brothers in the village, and follow Mr. Zhou in half an hour"

"promise"

The water thieves following behind responded loudly.
