Chapter 277 I can't make the decision

Lu Zhi was silent. He was not afraid of death, he could not bear this trust. He wanted to raise his head and look at Zhou Ze and salute him again.

"General Zhou came here with two followers. Lu admired his courage. I wonder if he dared to speak in the village?"

Zhou Ze pinched the folding fan in his hand and knocked Lao Xu on the shoulder with a fan.

Old Xu took Zhou Ze's belt and jumped up and landed in front of Lu Zhi. Cui Yi quickly rowed the boat. After a while, he also arrived at the ferry and tied the boat and stood behind Zhou Ze.

Lu Zhi bowed and bowed his hands to the top of the cliff, waved his hand, and walked down a few ropes, grabbed one, and handed it to Zhou Ze one.

"Lu Zhi has met General Zhou, let's go up!"

Zhou Ze did not follow the rope, and someone used a meat lift, why climb it yourself? One is unsafe, and the other is looking at the price.

At this moment, without Zhou Ze's instructions, Cui Yi and Lao Xu sided with one side and pulled Zhou Ze over the cliff together.

Although it is called a cliff, it is actually not high in height, just like a three-story building. It is just because there are stone walls that are straight up and down, and there is no climbing position at all. It is bare, which makes it easier to defend and difficult to attack.

As soon as you land, you can see that there is really a village not far above, but it is hidden among the dense green trees and cannot be seen from the river.

The choice of this place was quite good. Zhou Ze looked around and Lu Zhi had been dragged up and quickly led Zhou Ze and the other two to walk into the village.

As for the people who were lying on the river bank, they also came out one after another. As expected, they were almost the same as Lao Xu had expected. These people didn't say anything, but they were all in their hands, staring at Zhou Ze and the others.

Several children ran back and forth barefoot.

I was not afraid of these big men with tattoos on their faces, and they were dancing and calling out uncles and uncles, and the smile on their faces was so innocent.

Lu Zhi did not scold him, but instead the children touched their heads and shouted.

"Go to play."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Ze and reached out to the largest house.

"The place is simple, General Zhou please come in!"

When he entered, the room was transparent and there was no window paper at all. It was similar to a pavilion. Zhou Ze glanced at the chair, Cui Yi took a step forward, wiped Zhou Ze for a while before sitting down.

Old Xu raised his eyes and looked outside, deliberately ignoring these details, otherwise he would be afraid that he would not be able to help but complain.

Those big men were quite disciplined, with fierce light on their faces still there and did not follow them. They all surrounded the house outside, and the meaning of protection was obvious.

It can be seen from this that Lu Zhi was at least popular with the people and also protected these people for many years.

The rough tea was served, but Zhou Ze did not move, and Lu Zhi spoke:

"Is General Zhou coming here alone to suppress the bandits?"

Zhou Ze smiled. At least he was not stupid if he could ask this.

"Just suppress three bandits?"

Lu Zhi also smiled, but he was still worried. He knew more than anyone else about his family’s assets. It was natural to worry at this moment. After all, two black fire bombs were thrown down and the place was razed to the ground.

"General Zhou might as well say that Lu Zhi is a rough man and doesn't want to spend his brains. If Lu Zhi needs anything, it depends on General Zhou's courage and Lu Zhi is willing to try it."

Zhou Ze wanted to applaud him. His skills and said that he was a rough man, he was really a bit self-deprecating. What does it mean to try? This is to give you face. When you do it, it will be fruitless if it is not suitable.

Zhou Ze poked Lao Xu, and Lao Xu paused. After thinking about it, he handed the booklet to Zhou Ze. He wanted to show off and did not give instructions in advance. Lao Xu endured it and didn't speak out.

Zhou Ze flipped through the booklet and the number of people inside seemed to be a little more than he had seen. It seemed that the Silver Armor Guard still had to exercise, but the first time he performed such a task was remarkable.

Thinking of it, he threw the booklet in front of Lu Zhi.

"I have investigated everything about you, and it is probably more exciting than this book. I will say a few words to you. I appreciate your character very much, so today I am light and simple in traveling, and I didn't lead troops, just don't want you to misunderstand that I am here to suppress bandits.

I just introduced that according to His Highness Ning, I have formed a naval army. I will not hide it from you. There are no people with good water and ability at hand. Today I am here to invite you, not to recruit, but to invite you and your subordinates in your village to follow me!"

"invite?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

"I will deal with your bad deeds or origins to the people you invite to join the navy. I will erase everything, just depending on your wishes. If you do not force them, you will not come forward to suppress the bandits even if you do not agree."

Lu Zhi was stunned.

It’s not about recruiting the amnesty, these four words stuck in his heart like silver needles. He was not afraid of suppressing bandits. Because of his geographical advantages, many people came back in vain.

Furthermore, because this is the southern border, the court originally wanted to suppress bandits, but most of the Zhennan Army turned a blind eye and opened their eyes. Lu Zhi knew that sooner or later he would suppress bandits, or to recruit bandits. Of course, after recruiting them, they would either be killed or divided.

Especially after the borders around the West are stable, now is the best time.

But after waiting, it turned out to be an invitation from General Zhou in front of him, which smoothed everything out. The conditions were too tempting.

"I wonder how General Zhou convinced me?"

Zhou Ze thought about it and said that it was really easy to make a promise, but many people died above the promise. Even if it was an edict, it would have some guarantees, and trust was the most difficult.

"This is the southern border, controlled by His Highness Ning. I said before that when I was the magistrate of Hejiang County, I was the chief minister of the Ning Palace. Although I have never said it to the outside world, I am controlling many things."

As he said that, Zhou Ze placed his token of the chief historian in front of Lu Zhi. This thing was quite exquisite. Although Lu Zhi had never seen it before, he picked it up and looked at it and found that it was similar to the token in Zhennan Army.

Lu Zhi returned the token to Zhou Ze. Although he didn't say anything, he could feel that he had believed it a little, and Zhou Ze continued.

"If I say nothing too much, it doesn't make sense to say too much. I want to build a naval army that can compete with the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ability is not only to catch up with the other side, but to surpass the Western Zhou naval army, and to fight them so hard that they dare not covet the Tang Dynasty.

Now every person in the navy is carefully selected from the Zhennan Army, and is even being eliminated continuously. Those who are inappropriate and incompetent can be sent back to the original army at any time.

When I look for you, what I like is not your daring to occupy the mountain as king, what I like is your ability and the ability of people like you, whether it is water, courage, strategy, or the courage to fight to the death.

You are a bandit, but I hope to take your brothers to protect your family and relatives who need to be protected. If you accept my invitation, I will do all this better, dress warmly, eat well, have a house to live in, children can read and read, and the elderly can live in their old age."

Lu Zhi was silent. After a long period of silence, Old Xu couldn't hold back, but Zhou Ze was not in a hurry. His fingers were just rubbing back and forth outside the thick tea bowl. He was patient and could afford to wait.

After all, this promise is what impressed Lu Zhi the most. A bandit leader or a military leader. This is not a complete evil person, but a helpless person. If there is a right way to rewrite everything, no one is willing to recite the word bandit.

Especially for children, you won’t let the bandit’s children continue to be bandits, right?

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The son of a weasel can dig holes. The children of a water bandit either become a water bandit or marry a water bandit. Isn't this?

After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhi looked up at Zhou Ze.

"I can't make the decision in this matter!"
