MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 726 Zuti
Chapter 726 Zuti
Zhao Shi was bound and escorted to the nearest county town. When he entered the city, he looked up and saw two large characters "Qu Zhou" on the gate.
Zhao Shi withdrew his gaze, and tried his best to compare the location on the map given by Fu Tinghan. The mission should have bypassed Qu Zhou, and he didn't know where it was at this time.
These people looked like they were from the army. I don’t know if he said that he was a deserter from the Zhao family army. Do they believe it or not?
I don’t believe it, the third sister is famous for being kind to the people and soldiers, how could there be deserters under her command?
Gou Xi and Gou Chun are under strict control, and it is possible to escape from them. Yes, they are the Gou Family Army who escaped from Yanzhou.
Thinking about it this way, as soon as he saw someone, he immediately revealed his identity, "I am Zhou Shi from the Yanzhou Gou Family Army, and we escaped to join the general."
The fellow robes who were also **** beside him were stunned, and they all looked at him in shock.
Zhao Shi turned his head and glanced at them with no difference, and introduced: "These are all subordinates who are willing to escape with me."
Zuo Min, who almost ran to death after chasing them, looked at them unfriendlyly, and said to the superior: "General, this person cannot be trusted. If he really came to join us, why did he run away? And the group of defeated soldiers said that at that time There was a convoy with them, and there seemed to be a lot of treasures in the car, and we searched around but couldn't find the convoy."
The general ignored Zuo Min who was clamoring, but looked Zhao Shi up and down, and after a while, he looked at the weapons collected by the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers immediately presented Zhao Shi's spear.
General flicked the gun head lightly, Wa Liang Wa Liang’s gun head made a crisp sound, he couldn’t help smiling, and looked at Zhao Shi again, “Are you Zhao Jiajun?”
Zhao Shi denied it with a serious face, "We Gou's army and Zhao's army have a sworn feud, the general will not insult me!"
General: "As far as I know, there are many deserters and refugees in Yanzhou, but they don't come to Jizhou, most of them go to Yuzhou. The one who has conflicts with Zhao Hanzhang is General Gou Dao. What does it have to do with you ordinary soldiers?"
"Moreover, only the Zhao family army has such a gun head." The general stroked the gun head and sighed: "I heard that the Zhao family army has a special smelting technology that can make iron into a harder and sharper thing called steel. I used to I don’t quite believe it, but looking at it now, I’m ignorant.”
Zhao Shi's complexion changed slightly, but he still insisted: "I am the Yanzhou Army."
Then the general put away his guns and asked them to untie them, saying: "I am at Xia Zuti, I am looking for your envoy to join me, I wonder if the little general would like to recommend you?"
Zhao Shi was stunned, stared at him with wide eyes, and said suspiciously after a while: "But, this is the territory occupied by the Huns, why is Zu Canjun here?"
Zu Ti was recruited by the king of the East China Sea to join the Dian army, but he refused on the pretext of keeping his filial piety.
Zhao Shi has heard Zu Ti’s name more than once from the third sister, because Mr. Ji boasted about Liu Kun, and the third sister once said that Zu Ti’s talent is higher than Liu Kun’s.
He knew that the third sister had always wanted to ask Zu Ti to be a general, but she couldn't find anyone, and she couldn't represent the imperial court's conquest all over the world, so she could only regret it in private.
Zhao Shi swallowed his saliva, and looked at Zu Ti with piercing eyes, "Are you really Zu joining the army?"
Zu Ti smiled and nodded, "That's right, Quzhou County has been taken by me. I know that Zhao Shijun has a strong army and has recovered most of Sizhou at this time. If that is the case, why not take Guangping County together? At that time, Shangdang and Pingyang will be isolated, and the communication between them can be cut off. In the future, if the imperial court wants to recover the lost land in the Northern Expedition, it will be much easier."
Zhao Shidao: "How many troops do you need?"
They are now all on the border to guard against Shi Le and Liu Cong, and they have to be careful of Gou Xi stealing the house in the rear, and they can't draw any troops at all.
Zu Ti said: "Don't worry about the strength of the troops. I can recruit now, but I don't have enough weapons and food."
Zhao Shi understood that he wanted to go to the third sister, but asked the third sister to give him food, grass and weapons to fight Jizhou.
If it were someone else, Zuti would definitely be rejected on the spot, which would be too risky.
But Zhao Shi is a young man, and it was at the time when he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. The third sister said that nothing is impossible in this world. As long as they dare to think and do it, there is hope for success.
He immediately said: "I will write letters for you and the envoy."
Zu Ti laughed heartily, and asked loudly: "Young General, don't you call yourself the Yanzhou Army now?"
Ms. Zhao snorted and said, "I'm not those generals in Yanzhou who only know how to fight in the nest."
Zu Ti smiled slightly, sighed and said: "Not all of them are like that, those soldiers who followed Gou Daojiang back then all had great ambitions."
Pity.
Zu Ti: "I don't know what to call the little general?"
Zhao Shi then said: "Xiaping Zhao Shi."
Zu Ti knew that he and Zhao Hanzhang belonged to the same family, but why did the Zhao family army come to Jizhou?
"How many people do you have?" Zu Ti said, "I'll send soldiers to pick them up. Are you here on business at this time?"
Zhao Shi smiled embarrassedly, and didn't mention Zhao Xin and others, but said vaguely: "The general doesn't need to worry about them, the important thing is to fight Guangping County now, I will write back to Luoyang, and ask General Zu to send two people with me back to Luoyang with our guards."
The matter of going to Zhongshan County as an envoy is still a secret. Even if Zu Ti is a good character, Zhao Zhen can't tell now.
Seeing that he did not speak, Zu Ti stopped asking and asked him to go down and rest.
As soon as he left, Zuo Min was unconvinced and said: "General, he doesn't believe us at first glance, why do we still cooperate with them?"
Zu Ti said: "They are obviously traveling on orders. Don't say that we are still outsiders, even if we are our own people, we can't announce our secret missions. You should be more polite to them. They will work together in the future, and the relationship will be too troublesome." It's not good."
Zuo Min pursed his lips and asked, "Do we have to rely on Zhao's army? In fact, with the general's current power, we can take down the entire Guangping County in one go."
Zuo Min is a bandit collected on Zuti Road, but he is actually a small castle owner.
Because Shi Le was too cruel, he attacked Wubao everywhere. He had no choice but to lead the villagers to build Wubao.
Because he took in a lot of people and didn't have enough rations, he took people out from time to time to grab things, and he really became a bandit.
Zu Ti went all the way west, and I don’t know where Gou Xi heard that he was going to defect to Zhao Hanzhang and sent someone to look for him along the way.
In order to avoid Gou Xi's people, he detoured everywhere, and came to this area after detours. He happened to be robbed by Zuo Min, so he fought back and arrested Zuo Min.
Zuo Min is also aware of current affairs, and immediately recognized Zu Ti as the boss, and let him lead the entire Wubao.
Zu Ti just felt that it would be embarrassing to go to Zhao Hanzhang barehanded, and there was Gou Xi blocking him along the way, so he simply took Wubao's people and beat up all the nearby bandit dens.
Originally, he wanted to hit two or three thousand people and take them to Zhao Hanzhang, but in the end, he shot down Quzhou County.
It is also the county magistrate of Quzhou County who has to provoke him and send troops to suppress him, then he can only beat Quzhou County.
Zuo Min's hometown is here, he doesn't really want to leave here, and he is not interested in Zhao Hanzhang, he thinks, if Zu Ti is willing to stick to one side here, then it would be good for him to be the second master here.
However, Zuti’s ideal is not to be a bandit who dominates one side. What he wants is to unify the world, so he wants to follow the person he thinks can lead him to rule the world.
Zu Ti insisted on contacting Zhao Hanzhang. Zhao Shi wrote a letter, and he followed suit. The two letters were handed over to Chief Yishi, and he took the letter back to Luoyang.
Zhao Shi stayed here and waited.
As for Xin Zhao and his party, Zhao Shi didn't say a word. After all, they should have run away by now, right?
