Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 123 Incorporation
Zhang Xiong watched Yu Chun leave in a boat with more than ten people.

Zhang Zhong said indignantly: "Father, just let him go."

He felt sorry for the boatload of corn.

Zhang Xiong said: "If your heart is gone, you can't keep it. It's much better to leave now than vote for Zhou Jun."

Going now is a peaceful breakup, and when you vote for Zhou Jun and then leave, it will be a confrontation.

Although Zhang Xiong was born in a humble background and missed the golden age, the upper limit may not reach the heights of Pan Mei and Cao Bin, but he vaguely has the demeanor and thoughtfulness of a good general.

Zhang Xiong gathered all the people who rebelled together and said loudly: "You can see what kind of life I live by looking at my clothes. Anyway, I can't stay in the Southern Dynasty. I am willing to go with me. Let's go together." Vote for Zhou Jun. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you, you take the food and leave on your own. If you leave now, you’re still friends, but if you meet later, you’ll be enemies.”

Although the life in Huainan is a bit difficult, there are still some people who are reluctant to part with their wives and children at home.

They boldly stepped forward to collect the food and left in a hurry.

The rapid sound of hooves suddenly sounded.

Zhang Xiong and the others changed their colors in an instant. They rose up unexpectedly, and it was okay to deal with unprepared soldiers, but if they encountered regular cavalry, in this situation where they needed weapons but no weapons, and armor but no armor, they had to give orders. On the one hand, the slaughter has an end.

Zhang Xiong was so regretful that he should have distributed the weapons and armor first in this situation.

After all, it was the first time to rebel and had no experience.

"Get on the boat, get on the boat and kneel!"

Zhang Xiong heard the voice came from the north.

As a farming nation, military horses are the most scarce.

Dazhou is still better, it has its own horse farm in Weinan, and can buy war horses through transactions with Dingnan Army and Zhejia. There are still many cavalry in the army.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, if you want to buy war horses, you need to buy them from Tubo, and then go through Shu, Dongzhou, and Baidi to Jingxiang, and then go down the river to Jiangnan.

This price is not affordable by ordinary people. There are only a few cavalry teams in Southern Tang.

The most likely person to come is Zhou Jun.

If Nantang is unfortunate, those who can run in a boat will run in a boat, and those who can't can just dive into the water to save their lives.

Zhang Xiong's judgment ability is good, and his actions are also in place.

It was Luo Youdu and his party who came here. In order to snatch the military rations and equipment that Southern Tang had prepared for Shouzhou, they planned to directly take advantage of the cavalry and smash the five hundred defenders of Southern Tang into a pulp.

When I came to the upper reaches of the Dongfei River, I was surprised to see a mess and thousands of ragged people kneeling on the boat.

Luo Youdu did not step forward recklessly, but asked Cao Bin to investigate the situation.

Cao Bin came from a wealthy family, and his ancestral armor is made of hundreds of tempered steel plates. Ordinary swords can't even break through defenses.

"Who are you?"

Cao Bin was bold and careful, and shouted loudly when he came to the river bank where he could advance or retreat.

Zhang Xiong lay on the ground and said loudly: "Caomin Wafu Town's family name is Zhang Xiong. He was persecuted by the Southern Dynasty and wanted to join the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He killed the Tang army guarding the food and equipment. The general is Guo Tianzi's subordinate?"

Luo Youdu also rode forward at this time, there is no place to ambush in the surrounding area, and the opponent's behavior is obviously too amateurish, "I am Luo Youdu, the commander of the Imperial Army Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty..." Seeing that Zhang Xiong and the others did not respond, I was a little dissatisfied happy.

Luo Youdu's name was known to everyone in the civil and military circles of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Xiong was just a commoner. Before today, even the Prime Minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty didn't know who he was, so it was impossible for him to hear Luo Youdu's name.

"You can leave the fleet and line up along the coast, I will accept you."

Zhang Xiong's heart fell to the ground, and he directed the people on board to go ashore and line up.

A group of them disembarked in a mess and lined up in a crowded place.

You squeeze me, I squeeze you, making a mess.

Luo Youdu asked people to roughly inspect the transport ships, and found that more than 100 transport ships stored a large amount of military rations and ordnance equipment.

Shi Shouxin grinned loudly: "Get rich, get rich. Brother Luo, replace me with a batch of brand new swords. This is not too much to ask."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Naturally not too much!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiong timidly stepped forward and said: "Master Commander, young one, there are still some people here who don't want to join the army, I promised them to give them food and let them go..."

Shi Shouxin was instantly furious.Damn, is this taking food from the tiger's mouth?

Fortunately, Luo Youdu realized the temper of generals like Shi Shouxin immediately, and stopped him with his hand, saying, "You seized these materials. You have the right to control them before I collect them."

Zhang Xiong was overjoyed and called his two sons to distribute food.

Shi Shouxin looked puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Why are you being polite to them, anyone who dares to resist, will be killed with a single blow."

Luo Youdu said solemnly: "Brother Shi, your relationship with me is as strong as steel, so I won't make detours with you. Normally we are brothers, but in this wartime, you are my subordinate, and you have to listen to me in everything. "

"It is this land that the officials attacked Jianghuai map, not the wealth of Jianghuai. When we fight, we must take into account the hearts of the people, and we cannot kill at will. The situation is different. The original method will not work. If you feel wronged, it's okay, directly Say, whoever you and my brother will follow! With my elder brother's ability, even if he leads an army by himself, he can accomplish great things."

If Shi Shouxin's murderous intentions are not suppressed by him, bad things will definitely happen in the future.

Shi Shouxin was silent for a moment, thinking about the little things along the way, nodded heavily and said: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Luo. If you accidentally violate the military regulations, don't worry about it. Brother, I have a thick skin, one by one. Ten or twenty army sticks, no problem."

Luo Youdu laughed and said, "Isn't Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai?"

Shi Shouxin also laughed.

"Run, run, brother Xiong, run!"

Shouts came from afar, and Yu Chun, who was walking before, came running in panic, shouting, "Brother Xiong, troops are dispatched from Luzhou, and they are coming here. It's Wu Feng from Luzhou." , if it falls into their hands, it will be miserable."

Shouting and yelling, he tripped and scrambled to his feet again.

When he came close, Yu Chun discovered Luo Youdu and the others, and he collapsed to the ground in fright, speechless.

Luo Youdu gave Zhang Xiong a wink, and he saw that Zhang Xiong had a potential higher than ordinary people.

Compared with them, Zhang Xiong should be able to handle the current situation well.

Zhang Xiong stepped forward to help Yu Chun up, and said, "We have voted for Emperor Guo, and this is Emperor Guo's heavenly soldier. If there is anything wrong, tell him quickly."

Yu Chun came to his senses, knelt down in the tunnel and said, "I planned to share the food with my brothers and find a place to hide for a few days. I didn't want to bump into Wu Feng from Luzhou head-on, so I escaped easily. Thinking about it Brother Xiong’s great kindness, I came to report. Erwa, Gouzi, they were all shot to death.”

Luo Youdu glanced at Zhang Xiong and Yu Chun. This situation is a test of the decision-making ability of the superiors in the face of emergencies.

　The third one is coming!
