Chapter 183 Things Are Never Simple

After Zuo Liangyu's supply fleet for Li Ping arrived near Li Ping's camp, the entire Wuchang Hanyang and Zuo Liangyu's armies shook again, and Li Ping and his army became people who no longer had to hide or hide. heated discussion.

However, none of the generals and officials dared to contact Li Ping, they still had to wait and see.

There is only one exception.

Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin went to see Li Ping that night.

The fleet carrying his entire army stopped temporarily on the bank of the Yangtze River opposite the mouth of the Weishui River, which is the northern suburb of Wuchang City.

In the afternoon of this day, a large number of reconnaissance cavalry from the Peasant Army appeared on the north bank of the Hanshui Hanyang County section, and some even appeared on the south bank of the Hanshui River near Hanyang County. The peasant army has already left Hanchuan County.

But the situation is not very critical.

The front of the peasant army who attacked from Zhongxiang County has been concentrated on the north bank of the Han River, and even the vast border of Mianyang Prefecture, which is located south of the Han River and close to Hanyang Prefecture, is still effectively controlled by the Ming government.

In addition, Zuo Liangyu has been clearing the ships along the Han River, the Peasant Army's ships should be very short, so the speed of the Peasant Army's army should not be too fast, and the threat is not so strong.

However, for the sake of caution, all Zuo Liangyu's troops withdrew from the Hanyang ground. They were all over Jinshazhou, Baishazhou, and the Wuchang side of the Yangtze River. Duhu and Tuanfeng and other places, and made all preparations for a full withdrawal from Wuchang.

"You shouldn't have come!" This was Li Ping's first words after seeing Zhao Jin.

"How could I not come, you are my brother." Zhao Jin sneered at Li Ping.

Although he was very moved, Li Ping still felt that Zhao Jin might not really understand his current situation and the risks he was taking when he came here.

He worried: "My situation is very delicate, Zuo Liangyu can no longer trust me, you should try to keep a distance from me."

"I know." Zhao Jin's expression was very indifferent.

"You don't know." Li Ping sighed slightly.

Zhao Jin cast a glance at Li Ping, and said nonchalantly: "I don't know anything, Zuo Liangyu is definitely dissatisfied, and some people may already hate you, but Zuo Liangyu has given you food Supplies yet! That's enough. If you don't even dare to take this little risk, I'll still be your big brother.

Don't think too much about it, you can always be forgiven for this matter.The old guy Zuo Liangyu is not completely confused yet, he should still want to win over you, and needs to win over you, things will always pass, you don't have to worry too much about me. "

Seeing what Zhao Jin said, Li Ping understood that Zhao Jin might not be clear about some things. He smiled wryly and said: "People's hearts are always changing, and things are always changing. There is no definite thing, and some things will eventually come to an end. It's impossible."

"What do you mean?"

"After receiving the food supplies, I asked a eloquent subordinate to go to Zuo Liangyu's place. One was to thank him, and the other was to ask for the rear of the army that was about to retreat. I didn't dare to go by myself, fearing that he would put me under house arrest. Zuo Liangyu readily agreed to my request."

"I'll go!" Zhao Jin's eyes straightened.

Please stand behind the whole army. It seems to be to avoid further conflicts with Fang Guoan and to provide cover for the whole army, but it is also tantamount to saying that Li Ping is afraid or does not want to be effectively controlled by Zuo Liangyu. This is completely adding fuel to the fire. .

And Zuo Liangyu's happiness is also very revealing, the thoughts inside are by no means simple, at least they have been considered long ago.

It seems that the problem is indeed more serious than he imagined.

Taking a few deep breaths in a row, Zhao Jin said helplessly, "Why did you do this? Things can be saved in the first place."

Li Ping bit his lip and said: "Brother, since yesterday afternoon, I have been thinking, thinking a lot, and I have figured it out. In fact, no matter how Zuo Liangyu chooses, he is the biggest loser. It is I. If he pushes it to this point, he will eventually figure it out, and he will also understand that I will think about these things, and our relationship cannot go back."

After staring at Li Ping for a long time, Zhao Jin finally had to realize that the gap between Li Ping and Zuo Liangyu could not be eliminated.

But he still couldn't help complaining: "You are too reckless! I won't talk about killing Fang without discipline, but what do you think about annihilating Fang Guoan's army? Don't tell me you were forced to fight back, you motherfucker If you can run, you almost brought yourself to a dead end."

"So what if I run away?" Li Ping obviously disagreed.

"So what if you run away! Do you know that after you killed Fang Wuke, Zuo Liangyu never saw Fang Guoan who went to cry and complain, and only Zuo Menggeng jumped up and down. At that time, you dodged and dodged, and you didn't know what to do." It wouldn't be the case now, and Zuo Liangyu wouldn't have any other thoughts..." Zhao Jin said anxiously.

"Are you going to see Zuo Liangyu first?" Li Ping interrupted Zhao Jin and asked.

"How do you know?" Zhao Jin was taken aback.

"Guess. Otherwise, you wouldn't miss returning to the camp for so long, and Zuo Liangyu wouldn't miss Fang Guoan."

"Don't I have to find a way to save Gao Lei? I was thinking about solving the problem directly at the root. At that time, no one knew that you had killed Fang Wuke. As a result, when I was adding fuel to the relationship between you and Gao Lei from there, left Liangyu suddenly received an urgent report, and you didn't even know his expression at that time."

"Then Zuo Liangyu didn't see Fang Guoan in the end?" Li Ping asked again.

"How do you know again, or guess?" Zhao Jin looked surprised.

Li Ping suddenly laughed and said: "Well. If Zuo Liangyu met Fang Guoan, Zuo Liangyu would not send me food and supplies. I guess I would really have to run away. No matter how brave you are, you can't Come see me."

"You can think of all this, why don't you avoid it first? Why do you have to do everything? You can't even put Zuo Liangyu down!" Zhao Jin was really angry, he couldn't understand Li Ping s Choice.

But Li Ping just curled his lips and said: "I'm not afraid of running away after killing someone, Zuo Liangyu would think so! Besides, who would have thought that Fang Guoan would lose his mind so much? He sent so many people to mess with me, If I play to the end, I will be the one who will be wiped out when people come back to their senses."

What Li Ping said made Zhao Jin a little speechless for a while. He understood that Li Ping's considerations could not be wrong at the time. The difference was only in their personalities and ways of looking at problems.

The two of them are different after all.

Different personalities and different perspectives, of course the choices will also be different, and the facts cannot be changed and it is meaningless to argue any further.

After sighing a few words that Li Ping's character is still so upright, Zhao Jin changed the subject and made a simple explanation and apology for his previous cautiousness and the fact that he only showed up now.

He said that although Li Ping was getting bigger and bigger, he always felt that it would be no problem for Li Ping to run away, but he had to be responsible for his brothers and prevent everyone from getting involved.

Zhao Jin knew that some words were unavoidable.

Although he knew that Li Ping must understand and understand, he still had to say it, otherwise no matter how close the relationship was, he would always not explain anything.

This is the easiest way to communicate with people.

Of course, Li Ping did not complain or blame Zhao Jin.He understands the situation and understands Zhao Jin. The most important thing is that he doesn't like others being put in danger for himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say that Zhao Jin should not come.

To Gao Lei, Zhao Jin solemnly expressed regret, and was very annoyed at his carelessness and numbness, which was the root of all troubles after all.

But this matter, neither of them has deep feelings.The thing has already happened, and it is useless to say more, especially this must have become a sore spot in Zhao Jin's heart.

Moreover, the time for the two to meet this time is limited, and there are still more things to exchange. After all, at the banquet that was under the spotlight of the public the night before, there was too little time to say a lot, and there was nothing to say.

Li Ping used the cigarettes he lit and Zuo Liangyu supplied him with more food and goods than he could have imagined, and began to say something else.

Although the boats sent by Zuo Liangyu were not big, Li Ping was shocked by the fact that several boats were full of food, salt, cloth, clothes, shoes, etc., because there were too many, especially the food. The amount is even more dazzling.

Li Ping almost thought that Zuo Liangyu really planned to ignore the past.

This also makes him still very confused.

But Zhao Jin's explanation was very simple. He said: "You really don't have to think too much about this. The most important thing Zuo Liangyu lacks now is food and goods. He robbed all the grain. Wuchang and Hanyang City The extreme prosperity outside has also been turned into almost three lights by him, and this is really just a drop in the bucket for you."

"All the grain has been robbed?" Li Ping was a little confused.

Wuchang was the confluence and exchange place of Huguang Cao grain in the Ming Dynasty, which is also one of the important reasons why Wuchang, especially the vast land outside the city on both sides of the Yangtze River, was extremely prosperous.

Li Ping thought that Zuo Liangyu would rob grain, but he also thought that he would only rob some of it for emergency use. He never thought that all of it would be robbed. That would be tantamount to treason!
But seeing Zhao Jin nod his head seriously, Li Ping was even more puzzled besides being shocked. He asked: "Since Zuo Liangyu has no shortage of food and clothing, why is he running away?"

With the same danger in the river, how could Zuo Liangyu run away after fighting in Xiangyang, but how could he run away in Wuchang without even fighting?
In particular, the Hanshui River is completely a small river in front of the Yangtze River, which is not enough to see at all.

Not to mention anything else, there are many large rivers such as Han River, Wei River, Ge River, Wushi River (today's Daoshui) and Ju River in the tens of miles of Wuchang. The water potential of the Yangtze River is huge. is enough to imagine.

Here is the real danger.

Zhao Jin said quietly: "You should have seen it when you went to my place yesterday. The banks of the Yangtze River are basically like a hell on earth. Even in a place as prosperous as Hankou Town, you may not see a free civilian!

Zuo Liangyu almost robbed Wuchang and Hanyang, and almost all the people outside Wuchang and Hanyang fled, even most of the people inside the city fled.All the troops were crazy about fighting and playing like crazy, and they didn't even have any fighting spirit or fighting spirit.It is not accidental that Fang Guoan's army is so invulnerable.

Wuchang City does not allow Zuo Liangyu's army to enter, so what if he doesn't run away?Zuo Liangyu is not stupid. "

In the Ming Dynasty, Hankou Town, facing Hanyang County across the Han River, was already very prosperous and famous. It was an important transportation hub and commercial transfer station. For this reason, the Ming government also set up a Hankou Town Inspection Department there.

"It's about this time, if Hanyang doesn't keep it, let's just keep it! But what do the officials in Wuchang think? What does the King of Chu think?" Li Ping was still puzzled.

The Yangtze River is too vast, and the defense is focused on water warfare. Compared with the number of ships and the size of the ships, it is by no means incapable of fighting.

Zhao Jin smiled wryly and said: "The night before yesterday was so crowded that there were some things I couldn't say. In fact, the current situation cannot be completely blamed on the King of Chu and the officials of Wuchang.

Zuo Liangyu did not guard Xiangyang, nor did Zhong Xiang, how could they believe that Zuo Liangyu would guard Wuchang.

And since Zuo Liangyu didn't have the intention to defend at all, wouldn't it be a waste of the people in the city to let Zuo Liangyu's army enter the city!Isn't it useless to give him how much money!

In particular, Zuo Liangyu started to rob him as soon as he came, and the military labor that the Wuchang government had previously engaged in was useless, let alone no one believed Zuo Liangyu! "

When Zhao Jin said this, Li Ping could only sigh.

These reasons are not unexpected to him, but he has been busy with the war in Huangpi and dealing with the crisis of Fang Guoan these days, and he neither understands the various situations in Wuchang nor has the energy and time to think deeply.

Now it seems that everything has a cause and an effect, and there has never been something inexplicable in the true sense.

……

That night, an outsider finally entered Zuo Liangyu's room, that was his old subordinate Wang Yuncheng.

After Wang Yuncheng cared a few words about Zuo Liangyu's body, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Old man, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. I think that kid Li Ping is not from the same place as us, and he is different everywhere."

Zuo Liangyu glanced sideways at Wang Yuncheng, but didn't answer, but his eyes became deeper.
