Kai Fu Han

Chapter 91 Uprising 3
After hearing Wu Zhixian's words, Guo Zhizhou did not get angry as others thought, but instead lowered his head and pondered.

The trip to Jinan definitely requires someone to lead the team, and the official position of the person leading the team is not small. This time when we go south to attack Zhao State, the outcome is difficult to predict, so this job is not a good one.

The State of Zhao valued literature over military affairs, and Guo Qianhu was indeed the best candidate.

At this time of life and death, Guo Zhizhou couldn't care less about his relatives.

"Summon Guo Qianhu to come." Guo Zhizhou ordered the guards in the hall.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Guo Qianhu came to the lobby.

After saluting to all the civil servants, stand at the bottom of the hall and listen to the order.

"My lords have discussed and decided to send you to lead troops to Jinan to fulfill the order. After you go, you must strive for success, make brave military exploits, and make a name for me in the state." Guo Zhizhou ordered to Guo Qianhu.

"Yes."

"But something has happened now. You need to go to each village to recruit the soldiers you want to bring to Jinan. The original infantry will stay in Dengzhou to defend the city." Guo Zhizhou added.

This sentence directly changed Guo Qianhu's expression. Veterans and newcomers were completely different concepts.

Want to refute but dare not.

"Where did the money, food and equipment come from?" Guo Qianhu asked.

"Zhizhou Yamen and Penglai County Yamen will support you." Guo Zhizhou said, and by the way, Wuzhi County was attracted.

……

After discussing the matters in the hall, Luo Cheng left the Zhizhou Yamen. Guo Zhizhou had just put Luo Cheng in charge and led the infantry of Qianhusuo after Guo Qianhu left. This made Luo Cheng very upset.

The "badness" of the infantry Qianhu is well known. They are all soldiers and greasers. They may be better than the new recruits, but they are not much better. Moreover, Guo Qianhu has taken advantage of them, so I don't know what else they can do. How many people are left?

I hope Gao Yuan doesn't attack, otherwise these wine bags and rice bags will most likely not be able to defend Penglai City.

Luo Cheng did not go home and went directly to the Liu family compound. After learning that Liu Xinqi was at the port warehouse, he went directly to the warehouse to find Liu Xinqi.

After entering the warehouse gate, Luo Cheng vaguely saw that the people walking by him looked familiar, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that they were the Liujiabao people he had met before.

Liu Xinqi and Liu Zhimu were studying muskets in the blacksmith's room. When Luo Cheng came in, Liu Xinqi was wearing a tattered robe with a dark face. When he saw Luo Cheng coming over, he grinned, and his white teeth were dazzling against the black face.

"Wash your face first, I have something to tell you." Luo Cheng said.

After Liu Xinqi washed up a bit, the two sat down in an empty room.

"I saw Gao Yuan at the port today, standing on the bow of the ship is very eye-catching." Luo Cheng said.

"Gao Qianhu does have an extraordinary temperament. Standing among those soldiers, it is natural for him to stand out." Liu Xinqi didn't know what was going on and followed Luo Cheng's words.

"I'm not talking about his temperament, but his body shape." Luo Cheng said, his eyes fixed on Liu Xinqi's, as if he could see into his heart.

"Gao Qianhu has great martial arts skills and a strong body. Standing among those soldiers, he really stands out from the crowd." Liu Xinqi continued bravely.

"I met Gao Yuan a few days ago. His body shape has changed too much. Now he is basically the same as those warriors under your command." Luo Cheng followed closely and continued.

"Uh..., maybe it's because of the distance and Gao Qianhu's clothes are a little thicker..." Liu Xinqi couldn't continue.

"Can I still trust you? You know, I support you." Luo Cheng continued.

"My uncle has been so kind to me. My nephew has always taken care of me and I can't repay him. My uncle can trust me completely." Liu Xinqi stood up, bowed and saluted, and replied.

"Then let me ask you, is there anything you have to do with Gao Yuan's rebellion?" Luo Cheng asked.Liu Xinqi was silent. After all, Luo Cheng was a civil servant, and his stand was different. Now Liu Xinqi, who was in the dark, was very important to the entire uprising plan, and he didn't dare to expose it.

But facing Luo Cheng, he really couldn't tell lies.

Seeing Liu Xinqi's silence, Luo Cheng did not wait any longer and said, "I understand. I hope you will take care of yourself. Guo Zhizhou has sent someone to contact Laizhou. It is estimated that the Laizhou Navy will arrive in Dengzhou in three days at the latest."

Luo Cheng finally helped Liu Xinqi and delivered an important message.

"Thank you uncle."

Liu Xinqi couldn't say anything but thank you.

Seeing Luo Cheng was about to walk out of the room, Liu Xinqi couldn't help but said: "Uncle, I came to Gao Qianhu because I don't want to be a traitor. I have no choice but to do so."

Luo Cheng stopped, did not look back, and said in a heavy tone: "I don't want to either."

His tone was full of helplessness, and he walked out the door without looking back after finishing speaking.

Walking in the yard, he saw a familiar young man again. Luo Cheng finally confirmed that he was not from Liujiabao, but an officer and soldier of the former Dengzhou Navy.

……

"What should I do? He seems to have noticed." Liu Lizhen walked in from the next room.

"Send soldiers to keep an eye on the Dengzhou Infantry Battalion. If there is any change, report it in time. From now on, three teams of soldiers will stay in the Liu family warehouse, ready for action at any time." Liu Xinqi arranged.

……

The Changdao Islands are composed of more than 30 islands, including three large islands, two smaller islands, and the rest are small islands.

The big island in the northeast is called Beichangshan Island, the big island in the southeast is called Nanchangshan Island, the big island in the northwest is called Daheishan Island, and the island near Daheishan Island to the east is called Xiaoheishan Island. There is also a temple island located in the middle of the three large islands.

The Changdao Islands are under the management of Dengzhou. There is a township on the island, called Changdao Township, and the township government office is located on South Changshan Island.

Gao Yuan stood on the bow of a [-]-stone sand ship, looking at the small port on the south side of Nanchangshan Island.

The port is very small, with only three small piers. However, the location of the port is good, and it can barely accommodate ships of no more than three thousand shi, and there are no ships of more than [-] shi in the Dengzhou Navy.

When the people at the port saw the flag of the Dengzhou Navy, they knew it was one of their own and had no doubt that he was there. They did not react excessively. The three large sand ships parked directly on the dock.

The other ships were divided into two teams and continued to sail towards the other two large islands.

After Gao Yuan got off the boat, a clerk came on the shore. He walked up to Gao Yuan and without saluting, asked directly: "Why did Gao Qianhu come here? Did Guo Zhizhou have any orders?"

This clerk is the official responsible for managing the island, mainly responsible for collecting taxes.

Gao Yuan ignored the clown and walked directly past him. Two soldiers came up from behind and tied him up with ropes.

The little official hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he asked Gao Yuan loudly.

The soldier who was tying him up next to him pulled out a knife and passed it across his chest, scaring him into shutting up immediately.The soldiers cut the cloth from his chest into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth so that he could no longer speak.

"If you talk too much, the next cut will not just cut off clothes."

The gagged clerk was shaking his head and nodded quickly, proving that he must be obedient.
