chapter three hundred and seventy. bullying my big brother?
The vast fleet of seagulls pulled the sails around, followed the sea breeze and glided straight to Jiangnan. On the sails, countless seagulls shook their wings as they sailed, and they stopped at the towering masts to rest for a while. However, the sip of bird shit that descended from time to time often caused the lookout in the mast nest to curse.
The number of people going to fight this time exceeded the standard! Wang Hou originally planned to be 10,000 people. His Rizhao Brigade sent five regiments of two thousand troops, leaving eight thousand Taishan bandits and four thousand Black Mountain bandits. However, both families came out in full swing, doubled the number of people going to fight this time to 20,000, of which more than 1,600 sailors were more than the army.
Fortunately, Qingzhou has developed a harbor for three years. The fishing boats belonged to Wang Hou’s own fleet. The requisitioned fleets of wealthy sailboats, including large and small sailboats, were even richer.
As for the possibility of taking 20,000 people to sail from north to south in this era and reaching Nanjing and Hangzhou in later generations? It is absolutely no problem! Because Sun Quan had done this in history, he once ordered the envoy Zhang Mi and Xu Yan to lead more than 10,000 troops north to Liaodong to enthrone the King of Yan Gongsun Yuan. Although it was a fool, even Caibao brought all the people there, it was no problem at all technically.
Even Sun Quan can sail, let alone Wang Hou.
And he has allies!
After about six days of driving south, the vast fleet of fleets reached the shore for the first time on the sea surface of Yancheng near Guangling County.
Later Yancheng was at least dozens of miles away from the sea, but now, it is right next to the sea. According to the Qingzhou model, Chen Deng also built a port here. Unlike the Qi tribes in this province who hate Wang Hou and hate him so much that his teeth are itchy, the landlords and clans in Xuzhou loved him so much that Wang Hou's ship had not yet reached the seaside. He had seen dense crowds of people welcomed the port with colorful flags. The guy in the lead looked even more familiar.
Xuzhou Governor Chen Deng!
In the eight years of Jian'an in history, this foodie had already entered the coffin, but in this time and space he met Wang Hou. He taught this guy a healthy diet that his mother often mentioned in later generations. Now, Chen Deng didn't talk about the tendency of kicking his legs, looking at his red face, he seemed a little more handsome than he seemed to have back then. Standing with him, Wang Hou became an extra again, and he was so jealous that he curled his lips.
"Oh, Brother Wang, you are really not interested! We have been living in Qingxu Erzhou for a long time. We have been visiting me for several years. But you don't even want to visit me, but I want to kill me!"
Regardless of whether it was a settlement of interests or not, Chen Deng was indeed very interested in him and Wang Hou. Since he became a leader in Qingzhou, he has not known how many things he has helped him. Seeing Chen Deng greeting him enthusiastically, Wang Hou deliberately shook his head with a jealous look on his face.
"Mr. Wang doesn't dare to see you easily. Before leaving this time, I asked my wife Cao Ji, who is beautiful, I and Chen Deng from Xuzhou? Do you know how she answered? She said: You are so ugly, how can you compare to Chen Gong in Xuzhou? I haven't seen you in the past, and Jun Yan is even more than the past. You can't compare your younger brother, so where can you dare to come?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Hou made such a joke. After a moment of silence, Chen Deng laughed helplessly and shook his head.
"My brother is too humble! Who doesn't know how eloquent you are? In the battle of Yecheng, the Prime Minister gave you all the women you like to be optimistic about by the company's prince. In comparison, Chen Yuanlong is just unfavorable!"
Ya? It's all here! Cao Pi has even more reason to hate himself! Wang Hou couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Seeing his slightly crippled look, Chen Deng laughed even more and hugged his shoulders.
"Okay, let's talk about it today! Don't talk about those trivial matters! Thanks to my brother, the Xuzhou dishes are also much more delicious and rich. Brother Yu set up a banquet in Wanghailou. We will not stop drunk! Please!"
"please!"
…………
Hulala, a large group of gentry gathered around and sent a lot of gifts. Pig, beef, wine and meat came to work hard for the army. Wang Hou was also friendly to the people. He could talk to anyone who came to pay a visit, which made the other party flattered. However, it was said that he did not talk about official affairs. At their level, they could not avoid politics. After finally sending away the welcome Xuzhou gentry, Wang Hou wiped the sweat from his forehead with emotion, which praised the enthusiasm of Xuzhou gentry. Chen Deng, who had sipped the wine, shook his head helplessly.
"Not mentioning the friendship between my brother and my Xuzhou, just bringing troops to the sea today is enough for us, the Xuzhou gentry, to sweep the beds and greet us!"
"Oh? What's the trouble with brother, or the place is in trouble?"
"If the place is not stable, it is better to be good at fighting. Although Brother Yu is not as good as his virtuous brother, some bandits will do it if they say they can clean up! It is not the tiger from Jiangdong that really makes Brother Yu embarrassed!"
"Has the Sun family used troops to Xuzhou?"
This news really made Wang Hou eat a whale, full of surprise. He couldn't help but raise his head, but saw Chen Deng humming annoyed and helplessly.
"It declared war but did not declare war. Sun Zhongmou was busy fighting with Huang Zu for Jiangxia. He was fighting in the west and did not dare to provoke the Prime Minister. However, his subordinate Han Dang was so disgusting that he was doing the bandits, crossing the river and disturbing my border, occupying our county town. A while ago, even Guangling City was occupied by them! That guy still had the face to compile a book on Yu Wu, and went to the city to capture the bandits, and returned it. I think this guy was borrowing troops from Liu Bei, who had borrowed no money!"
People have a great influence on people. When Wang Hou wrote to Chen Deng, he scolded Liu Huangshu for any matters. Originally, Chen Deng was quite optimistic about Liu Bei, but now he can tease him. However, after saying this, Chen Deng became excited again and asked Wang Hou excitedly.
"Brother, how did Sun Huangxu mess with you? Now he is going to cross states to attack him!"
No wonder these Xuzhou gentry welcomed him so much, Wang Hou, and everyone was counting on him to help avenge him! But after listening to Chen Deng’s question and pondering for a moment, Wang Hou suddenly looked around and didn’t make a sound at the first time. Looking at his appearance, Chen Deng immediately waved his slap clearly, and several of the Chen family’s confidants were immediately several feet away.
Without the idle people waiting, Wang Hou's voice was still very low. He looked out the window and asked deeply.
"As brother, you know, by accident, the eldest son Pi completely hated Yu Zi. Here I will say something else, brother, even if there is no such thing, the eldest son will tolerate Yu Zi's inheritance in Qingzhou in the future. Will you be the Xuzhou?"
"My brother goes south, may he want to surrender to Sun Quan?"
When Chen Deng heard this, he was shocked immediately. However, Wang Hou laughed helplessly and said, "Brother! Is he worthy to join Sun Quan?"
"To be honest, I am planning a retreat for the future! You and my brother are both bullying and are used to being arrogant and self-righteous. If you go back to Yecheng to take a free position and look at people's faces everywhere, you may become a victim of political struggles if you are not careful. I really can't live this life! As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook! If you want the chief officials to continue to do so, you have to find a place where the cunning rabbit dies. I am optimistic about Liaodong! There is a place of war and chaos, but it is also a place of military use. This time, I went to Wujun to borrow grain, just to pave the way in Liaodong and take the defense of the north for the prime minister in the future!"
"But Liaodong is a bitter and cold place!"
"Brother, wasn't Rizhao Island City also a wilderness in the mudflat before? It's up to man! Besides, if it's too dull, how can the court need us to keep an eye on there?"
"Are you interested in joining the game?"
For a moment, Chen Deng didn't say anything. He was still a little shocked. The world was still divided, and Wang Hou's eyes were so far away! Seeing that he had no answer, Wang Hou also stopped and did not continue to talk. Instead, he brought the topic back to his eyes.
"Not to mention those that are not bound yet, Han Dang is so hateful, but the real hateful one is the child of Jiangyou Sun Huangxu. This time you and my brother join forces to give him a way to do what he wants. What does the brother think?"
He also changed the topic and plotted against Sun Quan. When talking about this, Chen Deng also smiled and nodded.
"Good is good!"
