The people on the shore have their own thoughts, but the thief in the river on the water only has one thought.

Live!

As Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were captured one after another, Guan Cheng commanded the fleet to push a few fire ships with a long pole, most of the thieves in Jiangxin lost their fighting spirit. Some of them fled westward, some returned to Jiangxinzhou to lurk, and some ran northward. When Guan Cheng inserted the battle flag of Zhenbei Army into the village of Jiangxin thieves, he also announced the end of the bandit suppression battle.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were tied up in big ties. Jiang Qin looked at his father's warship that was gradually sinking on the water, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

"When two armies fight, life and death follow the heavens. Only by living will we have hope." Zhou Tai was worried that Jiang Qin would do something stupid and whispered.

"I will definitely take revenge!!" Jiang Qin's voice seemed to have blood, and Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"There is another living person here, arrest him!"

"You still run! Have you run? The crossbow is ready!!"

"Run! Don't you run? Run!! You're scared when you see a crossbow!"

"This guy is not wearing any clothes!!"

A shout suddenly came from the reed marsh in the distance, and a naked man was caught. Looking at the uncle shaking around in front, Jiang Qin opened his mouth wide and shouted "Dad?"

The person who was arrested was naturally Chiang Kai-shek.

"Dad? Is this your dad? Give him a piece of clothes, and they will interrogate them separately later!" Guan Cheng, who passed by, casually said, "This guy is not very expensive... What do you think? No matter how small it is, I am not as rich as me!"

Jiang Qin cried with joy, tears suddenly burst out. Jiang Zhong lowered his head. His ship fell into the water. He finally swam ashore. As for why he traveled to Jiangxinzhou...

Isn't it because it's close!

When Guan Cheng returned to the hostel, when he saw Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan was holding a teacup in one hand and shaking his head and singing a song.

Tea is not popular in the north, and has spread among aristocratic families in Jiangnan. At this time, tea was not called tea, but Tu. The word "Ta" means bitter vegetable. Later, a word gradually formed a multi-sounding word. When talking about tea, I recite tea, but it is still written as tea. It took Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty to remove the tea from one side before tea was found. This is why some people in later generations said that Lu Yu invented the drink tea.

"Min Wang, I'm so happy to laugh. It seems that my battle is not in vain."

Zhen Yan put down the teacup, nodded and smiled, "You didn't see it just now. As your shelling defeated the thief fleet, Zhang Yun and the others' faces changed.

Although they haven't said anything yet, just wait, someone will come tonight.

By the way, how much did our army win in this battle?”

"Oh, I'm told, what a thief in the Jiangxin, I think it's just a fishing village with nothing, there's a lot of dried fish. If you want it, I'll get two baskets for you later." Guan Cheng shook his head and said, "The prisoners have captured a lot. I think there are also many sea boats in Wujun. You can rent some, transport more food at a time, and take these prisoners of war back at will. Our navy is so short of people."

"Report! There are two young men outside asking for a visit, this is their famous post."

"Take it and take a look." Zhen Yan took the famous post, opened it and closed it with a snap, waved his hand and said, "Please invite them in!"

"Who is it?" Guan Cheng asked.

"The eldest son of Sun Jian, a tiger from Jiangdong - Sun Bofu, Zhou clan of Lujiang - Zhou Gongjin!"

After a while, two young masters Ruyu walked in and looked at the pair of gossips in front of them, Zhen Yan couldn't help but nod and sigh.

Appearance is very popular in any era.

"Two young men took their seats, I wonder what to look for me, Zhen?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce took out a booklet from his arms, raised it up and said, "In the past, I was so grateful to Dong, and I was in the lower court to be loved by General Zhenbei. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao and others did not tolerate my father and were forced to flee.

Today, I learned that Mr. I am here, so I offer a gift. I hope Mr. will pass it on to the general to express my apology!”

Guan Cheng stepped forward to take the booklet and handed it to Zhen Yan. Zhen Yan opened it and took a look, and stood up suddenly.

"Are you playing with me for five million stones of food and grass? Is it because Bo Fu is playing with me? There are so many food and grass, not to mention that your Sun family can't produce it, even Yuan Shu, it's probably difficult?"

Zhou Yu threw off the folding fan with a whistle. Not to mention, this movement is so handsome that Zhen Yan is ready to go back and practice.

"The Sun family does not have five million stones, but there are ones in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, 92 counties and 7 counties of Yangzhou, and 117 counties of Jingzhou. The two states have a population of nearly eight million. There have been no major wars in the past two years. The weather is good, and the warehouse is full of food and grass. Not to mention only five million, even if there are more, ten million or twenty million, it is not difficult to collect them.

As long as the Zhenbei Army is willing to hand over the trade routes between Jingyang and Yang states to us, these five million stones are just our sincerity.”

"Jing, Yang's family is full of families. Now it is a chaotic world. Food and grass are people's hearts and fate. Although your Lujiang Zhou family is a first-class family in this world, it is probably difficult for these families to take out their lives.

Could it be that you are planning to collect it from the people?”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "There are two families in a village. One household uses all the money to hoard grain, and the other household uses the money to buy steel knife armor. I wonder if sir, who will be able to eat enough in the end?"

Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

"You want ordnance?"

"Yes, of course, we also want the northern specialties such as porcelain, wool cloth, glass, paper, etc. In addition, we also want the weapon used by the North Army of Zhenzhen today that can fly stones thousands of feet away."

"You actually want artillery?"

"Arson...is it a firearm that was rumored to be defeated by Lieutenant General Yuan Shaojun?" Zhou Yu suddenly remembered the rumors.

"We can sell ordinary weapons, but firearms must be approved by General Zhenbei, otherwise we will lose our heads." Zhen Yan thought about it for a while, and finally said, "I think Mr. Zhou also wants to get it. The tacit understanding between the four great masters of Wu County will soon be broken by the performance of our army today. If you want to dominate the commercial roads of the two states, this is impossible, at least, it is impossible now."

"When is it possible?" Sun Ce couldn't help asking.

Zhen Yan looked at the heroic young man and smiled and said, "If the young master is now the governor of Yangzhou, no, as long as he masters the two counties, I think the general Zhenbei will seriously consider this issue.

Although it is just a business for merchants, it still has to be about strength."

"Then Jingzhou! Jingzhou gives us the governor of Danyang County is now Wu Jing. My Zhou family also has some status in Lujiang. Our two families join forces to control the river east of Jingzhou. I think this strength should be enough, right?"

"Jingzhou?" Zhen Yan looked at Zhou Yu in admiration and nodded, "I can only say that the water business to Jingzhou is for you, but on land, as long as there are Jingzhou merchants who can go to the north, we will not drive away the guests.

And five million stones are still not worth it. I know you can't take it out now. Within ten days or ten days, I will see 500,000 stones of food, otherwise, I will find it hard to believe your strength."

"A gentleman's words!"
