Daming kill

Chapter 174 Thunderbolt
After waking up in the new camp on the north side of Weishui, Li Ping's right eyelid kept twitching.

Although he never believed in this, he still had a premonition that something bad might happen today.

Just like when he came to this time and space, everything might be caused by the gods.

Turned around for a while, looked at the people who were busy, and asked about the news about the Peasant Army. It seemed that Huangpi should be safe.

Li Ping couldn't help being a little puzzled. Everything he did at Zuo Liangyu's place yesterday seemed to be okay, and the peasant army didn't show any signs of attacking him or the possibility of successfully attacking him, so what else could it be?

Could it be Zhou Wen?
Li Ping began to feel uneasy.

Zhou Wen undoubtedly aroused Li Ping's vigilance yesterday. Whether it was his kindness of a woman or his desire to meet Zuo Liangyu with Li Ping, it was a dangerous signal.

Zhou Wen obviously wanted to try to persuade Zuo Liangyu to force Li Ping to guard Huangpi, and this guy was trying to influence Li Ping's decisions more and more.

This is something that Li Ping is unwilling to face but has to face, and it is also a thorny issue that needs to be handled carefully.

Because Zhou Wen is a very smart person, and he is also a person who can often find the essence of the problem very quickly.

Li Ping knew that Zhou Wen was very confused now.

No matter how open-minded Zhou Wen is, he is a scholar after all, a person with vested interests who has been educated by the orthodox thought of the Ming Dynasty for many years and has gained a little.

The sense of imperial power and loyalty to Daming is almost his instinct, and it is impossible to give up easily.

The feeling of watching a person from a distance is completely different from that of being close to a person.

To Zhou Wen, Li Ping may have looked at the flowers in a fog, he might have been aloof, he might have been a baby, or he might have been a martial artist who didn't know how to teach.Although there are all kinds of things that people can't understand, but since he is doing official and military errands, he should always care about Daming.

But once he really gets closer, Zhou Wen is likely to overturn all his previous judgments.

It is often said that the most effective way to understand a person is to work and live with him, because it is impossible to completely hide his mind.

Zhou Wen had been transferred to Li Ping's side for a while. Although the time was short, it was enough for the smart Zhou Wen to intuitively feel the real Li Ping.

Li Ping knew very well that the unorthodox thoughts and all kinds of unheard of miscellaneous knowledge that he inadvertently revealed must have had a huge impact on Zhou Wen, and it would definitely cause Zhou Wen to feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Wen's abnormality yesterday deeply reflected his current state.

For this reason, Li Ping specially ordered Zhou Wen to stay in Huangpi to assist Duan Qiang before going to the banquet yesterday, and only transferred Ma Yong back to Donghu to preside over the relocation.

Since Zhou Wen stayed in Huangpi, there was nothing he could do!

Especially after Zuo Liangyu ordered the army to continue to evade eastward the day after tomorrow, Zhou Wen lost his last hope of sticking to Huangpi, so there was no reason to have other thoughts.

Zhou Wen wanted to accompany Li Ping to the banquet because he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Zuo Liangyu.

At present, Zhou Wen should have received Zuo Liangyu's military order that Li Ping ordered to deliver urgently to Huangpi last night.

While thinking about it, Li Ping, who was not at ease, went to the detective cavalry who came and went to report the news to inquire again, but there was still nothing unusual.

The cavalry who went to convey the message last night and returned bluntly said that they saw Zhou Wen himself, and still remembered that Zhou Wen was stunned for a long time like everyone else.The cavalry who set off from Huangpi in the morning to report the news and have not yet returned also confirmed that Zhou Wenyu was still busy with military affairs in the morning.

Since Zhou Wen didn't leave Huangpi privately, there should be no problem with him, and Li Ping's heart relaxed a little accordingly.

But if it wasn't for Zhou Wen's problem?Where is the problem?

With doubts, Li Ping suddenly remembered which year in the Western calendar he remembered last night, and he realized that he had to share it with Zhao Jin.

Li Ping and Zhao Jin didn't have much time to talk in detail last night. Both of them urgently needed to exchange their current situation and various news with each other.Otherwise, once the army moves out again, there may be new situations, and it may be very difficult to find time to meet.

But looking up at the sky, it was almost noon, would Zhao Jin be in the camp?

After hesitating for a while, Li Ping made up his mind to set off.He felt that Zhao Jin probably wouldn't go to hand over the ship, just like Li Ping hadn't bothered about these trivial matters for a long time.

He comforted himself that the twitching eyelids might just be a neurological reaction after being overtired these days and drinking too much last night.

It was still the two small sand boats from yesterday, and the guards from yesterday, Li Ping thought everything should be enough.

It is said to be a small sand boat, but it is actually not small.

It's just smaller than ordinary sand boats, but much larger than ordinary fishing boats, and even larger than the dozens of large and small boats that Li Ping collected in the sinking lake area.

Although more men and horses could be loaded, Li Ping only brought twenty guards and eleven horses.

These two boats had more than a dozen people on each boat. After getting off the boat, ten followed him on horseback, and ten stayed on board to watch the boat.From a security point of view, there is no big problem.

With the prestige of Huangpi's great victory, no matter how reckless the rebellious soldiers are, normally they would not dare to trouble him.

If there is another accident, it is his destiny.

Entering the Yangtze River by boat, Wuchang City was once again displayed in front of Li Ping at close range.Although compared with Wuchang City at night, Wuchang City during the day is still eerily quiet except for the tall city walls and the Yellow Crane Tower highlighted by the low hills.

But Wuchang City still gave Li Ping a great shock, it is like a giant beast generally dominating the east bank of the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River also stunned Li Ping. Under the high visibility during the day, the river is far wider than what he has seen in another time and space, and it is also more obviously turbulent. It is far from the Han River that often accompany him these days. Compared with it, it makes Wuchang City more majestic.

But in fact, Wuchang City is not Wuchang County, but Jiangxia County.

The county seat called Wuchang County (now Ezhou) in the Ming Dynasty was still about a hundred miles away from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.Everyone calls this place Wuchang, but the prefecture of Wuchang Prefecture is located here, and Jiangxia County is Fuguo County.

Wuchang got its name from the meaning of "governing the country with martial arts and prospering". It originally came from the fact that during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quanwei and Cao Cao moved the ruling center of Soochow to E County, which is a hundred miles away from here, in order to compete for Jingzhou. E County was renamed Wuchang County.

Later, various places around here experienced various appellations and reciprocal changes of Wuchang's name in the past dynasties.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the entire area to the south and east of the Yangtze River was collectively called Wuchang, and Wuchang also became a relative area name, forming today's Wuchang Mansion.

Today's Yangtze River is very busy, with all kinds of messy ships shuttling back and forth, and most of them were carrying armed soldiers who shouted and yelled. The shouts also kept coming and going, and Zuo Liangyu's army was obviously confiscating ships on a large scale in Qingjiang.

Li Ping didn't bother with these conceivable and commonplace messes, he had long been numb and knew that he was powerless to change anything.

He paid more attention to the topography on both sides of the Yangtze River, the prosperity of the Yangtze River, and thinking about the future.

Li Ping was a little shocked by the large number of ships in the Yangtze River.

The densely packed houses, numerous piers, and the moored boats of all sizes on both sides of the Yangtze River further confirm the prosperity here, which is far better than the prosperity of Xiangyang and Hanshui.

When he arrived at Hanyang, Li Ping suddenly remembered the various cities that Zuo Liangyu showed last night, just like the Hanyang garrison, full of calculations and undisguised expressions.

Fang Guoan and Zhao Jin's troops were stationed in Hanyang, while Shi Ming was stationed in Baishazhou.This is a very delicate arrangement, Zuo Liangyu is definitely not the big boss that many people think.

However, Li Ping's thoughts did not last long.

When he saw Zhao Lanyue who looked panic-stricken and listened to her topsy-turvy narration, Li Ping finally found the reason for his eyelid twitching, and couldn't help blurting out a national curse.

After that, his face flushed even more, and his body trembled slightly.

Li Ping was completely unprepared for what happened, and he tried his best to control his emotions.

He needs to wake up.

Even when Zhao Lanyue hadn't mentioned Fang Wuke's background, Li Ping instantly understood that Fang Wuke must have a strong background, otherwise he would never have the courage to go to a general's The camp came to scavenge.

Li Ping realized that he was going through a big trouble that he had never seen before.

But what should he do, what can he do?
The root of the problem lies in Fang Guoan, but Fang Guoan may not care about himself at all.

Looking for Zuo Liangyu?

Even if Zuo Liangyu was willing to stand out, he would have to go through the official procedure.By that time, Gao Lei might have been tortured by Fang Wuke, who is said to be a pervert, and only breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhao Jin was still not in the camp at such a critical moment, saying that he went to the upper reaches of the Han River and took most of the troops with him.

Although Zhao Lanyue has sent someone to look for it, only ghosts know when Zhao Jin will be able to come back.And even if Zhao Jin came back, so what?

Seeing Li Ping's face changing back and forth, Zhao Lanyue, who finally finished speaking, grabbed Li Ping's clothes and begged: "Li Ping, you must save Gao Lei, you must go to save her, she trusts you the most. "

Zhao Lanyue seemed uneasy about how Li Ping would choose.

"I know! Of course I want to save her, this is what I have to do." Li Ping agreed, his voice was a little out of tune.

Zhao Lanyue breathed a sigh of relief immediately, but then cried and said, "But what should I do? It can't be delayed, it can't be delayed! You have to find a way quickly."

"I know, I know, I'm going now." Li Ping said, frowning tightly.

"Go now? Do you have a solution?" Zhao Lanyue was a little puzzled, she was obviously not completely confused yet.

Li Ping didn't have the time to pay attention or the energy to analyze the meaning of Zhao Lanyue's changing expression for half a day. He was thinking desperately, so he just said casually: "What can I do, of course I want to grab it back."

"Get it back? How to grab it? When you go back, the day lily will be cold!" Zhao Lanyue seemed very dissatisfied with Li Ping's thoughtless coping answer.

"That's my business!"

After Li Ping simply replied this sentence, he hurried to mount his horse.

Zhao Lanyue suddenly seemed stunned, and then said anxiously: "Li Ping, don't make mistakes! What's the use of you guys?... Oh! Do you know where Fang Wuke's camp is? Those two scumbags here The servant girl should know the way."

Zhao Lanyue didn't know why she was talking, but she seemed to understand what Li Ping wanted to do, and she immediately agreed with Li Ping's recklessness. She found that this seemed to be the fastest and easiest way at present.

In this way, at least they can express their attitude first and let Fang Wuke restrain himself first, so as to buy time for them to adopt other methods.

As for whether Li Ping will suffer some grievances, these are not important at present.

But Li Ping, who had already got on the horse, ignored Zhao Lanyue's reminder. After he glanced at Zhao Lanyue, he left a sentence: "No need, I will go to Fang Wuke to talk about the past. Take them, they must have misunderstood." Then Just hit the horse and go.

Zhao Lanyue, who didn't know why, immediately became confused in the wind, stunned.

Notes:

Historically, Fang Guoan's army was indeed stationed in Hanyang, while Zuo Liangyu's own army was in Jinshazhou.
