Chapter 819

The 819th palm takes retreat as advance

Zheng Qiu also rose and fell in the water division army of the great Sui Dynasty for many years. He was once the fourth best talent when he graduated from the martial arts academy. He was written into the talent record by the Zhenzong emperor, but his career was quite bumpy. During the reign of Zhenzong, he started his career by moving troops to the state of Shang. He accumulated military skills from the position of five grade general and was directly promoted to the position of four grade general. However, because of the discord with the previous general of the Navy division, all his later achievements were suppressed, and he was despised by the player. The commander attacked disadvantageously. After killing the merchant, he was transferred from the navy to take office as a general of Daofu in the local government.

According to the official system of the Sui Dynasty, the general of Daofu was the first person under the governors of Daofu. From the third grade to the peak of the military general's official position. However, during the Taiping period, the general of Daofu was a virtual position and had no real power under the governors of Daofu. Every day, I do nothing and look at the governor's face.

Zheng qiuben thought his official fortune would end here. In another 20 years, he may have a chance to be promoted to governor, but the chance is slim.

But after emperor Yang Yi ascended the throne, his fate changed again.

Yang Yi reappointed the general of the Navy, promoted Wang Yiqu, and recommended Zheng Qiu to Emperor Tianyou. Yang Yi immediately made an order to appoint Zheng Qiu as the commander of the Tenglong ship. You should know that there has been a practice in the Navy. Whoever commands the Tenglong ship must be the first general of the navy in the future. This is how Wang Yiqu went up, and so did Wang Yiqu's appointment.

Zheng Qiu was ecstatic when he received the will. Although the general from the Daofu to the commander of the Tenglong ship has been reduced by half from the third grade to the fourth grade, everyone knows which weight is heavier. The Taoist general may not be able to rise again after another 20 years, but the commander of the Tenglong ship is equivalent to the deputy commander of the Navy. There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. That's a real soldier.

Zheng Qiu waited for more than ten years and saw that Wang Yiqu was about to reach the age when he had to ask for an order to return home, but the big Sui Dynasty was in chaos. Wang Yiqu rebelled in the northwest, intercepted and killed the emperor Tianyou, and forcibly occupied Hedong road with the Navy and the joint forces of Gao Kaitai. Zheng Qiu knew that he had no chance to become a general of the water division again.

Later, when Luo Yao invited him to Yongjun, he also hesitated. Although Luo Yao was strong at that time, he had the word traitor on his back after all. For people like him, as long as they rely on the past, this is the brand of eternal life. A pen about him will be left in history books and will never be erased.

Finally, he decided to take refuge in Luo Yao because of his disappointment with the imperial court.

When Luo Yao was still there, Zheng Qiu's position in Luo's general was actually not low. He looked more prominent than the ten outstanding Romanians. At least Luo Yao gave him enough face and deliberately showed his status in front of people. Zheng Qiu was very grateful to Luo Yao for this.

Later, Luo Yao died inexplicably, and Luo Tu inherited general Luo. From that moment on, the future of the Navy became confused again.

Dahong river is 160 miles away from Liuzhou, but four days is enough time for news to pass through Liuzhou. Luotu set up an ambush in tengnuo mountain and wiped out more than 10000 people and horses in Muli. This matter only reached the Navy yesterday afternoon. Who would have thought that Muli dared to appear outside the Navy today.

Zheng Qiu glanced at Muli and said after a moment of silence, "general mu... It's said that you've died in the war. Isn't that a good thing for me? Since you're dead, why do you have to appear again? It's wiser to go away from home, whether in seclusion or to others, than to see me today."

Muli smiled and said, "thank general Zheng for being so direct. If I make a detour, I can't speak."

He took a sip of tea: "general Zheng, do you know why luotu killed me?"

Zheng Qiu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't want to know. If general Mu comes to ask for help, I'm willing to help general mu with some silver and give you a good horse. I'll treat you as if you haven't been here, and the people below me won't reveal your whereabouts. I still have this confidence in the sailors."

"Even if I am down again..."

Muli shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not brave enough to come to you and ask for a few liang of silver. My martial arts are not very good, but I won't be embarrassed by the silver. I'm not here to save myself, but to save general Zheng."

"Oh?"

Zheng Qiu couldn't help laughing: "at this point, general mu, why do you have to pretend. If you come to persuade me to betray the Lord, you'd better save your saliva. I didn't take you to Liuzhou immediately. I'm already thinking of the friendship of my colleagues in the past. If you say anything again, I won't change my mind."

"General mu... Let's go."

Zuo mingchan, sitting under Muli, couldn't help shaking her head: "you wanted to save him, but he wanted to die himself. This kind of person can't save him. You and I are wasting our breath here. We might as well start early and go back to Huangyang road. In contrast, other people's lives are not as important as our own future. If we go fast, we can get to Xinyang City in a month and a half."

"Huang Yang Road?"

Zheng Qiu's face suddenly changed. He looked at Zuo Ming cicada and said, "what's your... Name?"

……

……

Zuo mingchan stood up and hugged his fist: "since general Mu told you frankly, I won't do anything to hide. I'm a small scouting captain in the black flag army. I was ordered by my Lord to discuss obedience with general mu. Unfortunately, because some things were exposed, there was the bloody battle a few days ago."

He took a look at Muli. This was the speech agreed by the two men. If Zuo mingchan said he was just passing by and happened to save Muli, Zheng Qiu may not believe that he is the man of the black flag army. Even if I believe it, I will not believe that Muli has made contact with the black flag army. People like Zheng Qiu, if Muli wants to persuade him, he must pretend to have contact with the black flag army.

"I blame me for it."

Zuo mingchan sighed and said, "I underestimated Luo Tu's ambition. I thought that as long as I could hide it from Luo Tu, I could take the opportunity of training troops outside the city to lead general Mu's men to Huangyang road. Unfortunately... Luo Tu had long wanted to kill general mu. I didn't think enough, but it also reminded general Mu and I, so I hurried to the navy to see general Zheng."

He asked, "general Zheng may have guessed what general Mu and I remembered?"

Zheng Qiu was shocked. He guessed something but didn't say it.

Muli said, "didn't general Zheng see that Luo Tu has killed a lot these days? The old people in the army have basically died in 7788. Luo Tu has killed in order to completely control the army. Yesterday was someone else, today is me, and tomorrow is who? As far as I know, Luo Tu doesn't seem very relieved that general Zheng is in charge of the Navy?"

"It's not good to guess other people's minds like this?"

Zheng qiudao.

"I only know!"

Muli said loudly, "if I had thought about these things earlier, my 10000 son Lang would not have died miserably! If I hadn't always had hope for luotu, I wouldn't have come to this point today!"

Zheng Qiu opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

Zuo mingchan pulled Muli, smiled and said: "We're just here to remind general Zheng of our good intentions. Don't offend others because of our good intentions. Since we've mentioned this, even if we've done our best, general mu, let's go. Before luotu can find it, let's take the Dahong river north into the Changjiang River and go to Xinyang City by water. Our Lord conquered Xinyang less than a year ago. That's why It's safe now. "

He took Muli and said, "my Lord is preparing to build a navy, and general Duan Zheng is in charge of it in the black flag army. It's just a little weak... My Lord should have killed Nanyan at this time. Before I came, general Duan Zheng was ordered to take over the navy in Nanyan, and then take over the shipyard in Nanyan. But Huang Yang Dao also built a shipyard, and no one is watching..."

Muli nodded and hugged Zheng Qiu. "I'm in a hurry. Let's stop here. In fact, I'm still asking general Zheng. Can you give us a boat? Luo Tu arranged people in the West. We're very sad to go by land."

"This..."

Zheng Qiu's face kept changing. He subconsciously looked at Zuo Ming cicada, but Zuo Ming cicada didn't look at him. He bowed his head and played with the cup in his hand.

"The boat is not a problem."

Zheng Qiu was silent for a while and then said, "however, since general Mu is leaving, I still want to send one. I'll send someone to prepare the banquet first, and it's not too late to leave after I'm full. I'll order someone to prepare a fast ship, and then arrange dozens of vigorous sailors to send you to the Yangtze River Ferry. Will you hire a boat to go west?"

"No..."

Zuo mingchan pulled Muli and said something in his ear. Muli nodded: "I won't bother general Zheng. We'll leave now."

With that, he turned and was about to go out. Zuo mingchan got up and followed him.

When the two talents came to the door, a man hurried in and almost bumped into them. The man's face was a little ugly. He looked at them subconsciously, and then quickly walked over to Zheng Qiu and said, "general... Luo Tu sent someone to see you!"

Zheng Qiu's eyes were cold and her eyebrows jumped twice.

……

……

Zheng Qiu personally sent the man sent by Luo Tu off the ship, hugged the man and said, "go back and tell the Lord that I will go to the city early on the night of the Mid Autumn Festival. I will ask for the Lord's wine at that time, and I have prepared some gadgets for the Lord."

The man hugged his fist and left. When he got off the ship, he seemed to find something. He looked at the ship with a puzzled look in his eyes.

On the bow, Muli smiled and said: "That man is a confidant of Luo Tu's men. His name is scar face. I just shook it on purpose. This man must have seen it. This man is the most careful. Although I just shook it in a trance, he must be suspicious. Luo Tu can't catch me or see my body these days. He must be uneasy. When he returns, he will definitely mention it to Luo tu."

Zuo mingchan said that the man surnamed Mu was cruel enough to pull Zheng Qiu to his boat, which could afford the word "Yin damage".

"However, I suspect scar face has no good intention."

Muli said, "you heard him too. He invited Zheng Qiu to Liuzhou to share wine and enjoy the bright moon... Nine times out of ten he was thinking of killing people."

Zuo mingchan said, "I think Zheng Qiu has been moved. It's so close!"

Just then, Zheng Qiu sent someone to invite the two of them. The two men walked into Zheng Qiu's study again. Zheng Qiu had sent someone to prepare the meal.

The three people chatted while eating. Zheng Qiu led the topic to the black flag army several times. Zuo mingchan pretended not to understand him. The more this happened, the more itchy Zheng Qiu felt.

While the three of them were drinking, someone in the water quietly approached the Tenglong ship. The man breathed with a thin reed tube in his mouth, and the man has been sneaking underwater. When he got to the side of the boat, he carefully put his head out and put his hands on the boat. Unexpectedly, he climbed up like a gecko!

After he got on board, he avoided the guard and went outside the study with light hands and feet. Listening, I happened to hear Muli talking. The man's eyes changed and a sneer arose from the corners of his mouth.

Then he left immediately without making a sound.

Zuoming cicada, who was carrying a glass of wine, looked out and smiled at the corners of her mouth.
