At this time, Zhao Jin's anger reached its peak. He was regarded as the leader of his family. He had studied hard since he was a child and only wanted to make a name for himself in the world. Unexpectedly, now he was like a frog in a well. Zhou Yuanfu's martial arts skills were unfathomable. Even if he couldn't win, just think about it.
The two guards guarding the door for him couldn't beat him, it was so embarrassing!
The current plan is to blame him with justice.
"Oh, since Zhao Sima came here to rescue Jiangzhou, why didn't he fight the bandits outside the city, but came to the restaurant inside the city? Could it be that the victory wine was prepared in advance before the battle started?"
When Zhou Yuanfu saw that Zhao Jin was speaking rudely, he was too lazy to make excuses.
"Don't tease me with these words. I heard that you used various methods to plunder people's wealth and wealth. But I don't know whether you, the captain of Ba County, are here to make money or to defend the enemy? Since you are incompetent, I will teach you how to do it.
Kill the enemy!"
Zhao Jin was tit for tat.
Before Zhou Yuanfu could say anything, Gan Mei quietly pulled his sleeve from behind.
"Okay, since Zhao Sima has such ambitions, then I'll see how Zhao Sima defeats the thief."
After all, Zhou Yuanfu took Gan Mei's face into consideration. This was a restaurant, the place where news spread the fastest. If he was entangled with Zhao Jin here, there would probably soon be rumors that the two were jealous over Gan Mei.
Gan Mei was pulling Zhou Yuanfu from behind, but Zhao Jin happened to see it, and she became even more angry. She fell in love with this little lady at first sight, and if she hadn't already had a wife at home, she would have sent someone to propose marriage. Every time she passed by the river
Zhou Yuzhou, I always come to Chongqing Restaurant to have a drink, and I also gave this little lady a few money-making businesses. If Zhou Yuanfu hadn't suddenly appeared, I guess he would have been able to get the beauty back after retreating from the thieves this time. It's really hateful
!
"Okay, I will show you my methods tomorrow. See you on the battlefield!"
Zhao Jin turned around and left.
"Haha, I'm scared now, go away! I'll beat you every time I see you in the future!"
Gan Ning pointed at Zhao Jin's back and laughed. Zhao Jin paused in anger, snorted and continued walking.
"Okay, brother Gan, don't mess with him anymore. As the saying goes, it's better to bully a gentleman than mess with a villain. A gentleman is upright. If you piss him off, you'll get blood splattered at most five steps. But if you mess with a villain, then
He will hate you for the rest of his life, like a cold poisonous snake that can bite you at any time."
Zhou Yuanfu stepped forward to stop him.
Gan Ning disagreed, "When dealing with this kind of mangy dog, you can only beat it once every time, otherwise it will not have a long memory."
"General Zhou, you have lost Zhao Jin's face today, will you be okay?"
Gan Mei said from the side that when other people were present, the two of them could no longer be careless.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Gan, I'm here to keep you safe!"
Zhou Yuanfu promised.
"Sister, don't worry, my brother-in-law will take care of everything."
Gan Ning took the opportunity and said playfully.
Zhou Yuanfu and Gan Mei smiled at each other after hearing this, and both regarded Gan Ning as a child.
…
When Zhao Jin returned to the camp, he was still indignant. He was just a yellow scarf thief. He was so arrogant and had so many unfathomable people under his command. It was really infuriating!
At this time, some soldiers came to report that the head of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in the city, had come to visit. Zhao Jin was full of suspicion and did not know what he was doing, but he still introduced him politely.
"I've heard for a long time that General Zhao is a rare young talent. Today I saw him and he is indeed very impressive!"
The head of the Zhang family also flattered him when he came up. When he saw the faint blood stains on Zhao Jin's neck, he felt relieved. After hearing about the conflict between Zhao Jin and Zhou Yuanfu, he rushed over without stopping. As the so-called enemy
Your enemy is your friend, he knows this very well.
"Zhang Weng received the award. I wonder why Zhang Weng came here this time?"
Zhao Jin said straight to the point. He was not in the mood to talk around with the head of the Zhang family now. The other party was just a local wealthy family, incomparable to a noble family like the Zhao family. If the Zhang family hadn't been financially strong, Zhao Jin wouldn't have even bothered to talk to him.
One sentence.
"When I heard that General Zhang came to rescue Jiangzhou, I was very moved and was willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to support the army."
The head of the Zhang family extended a finger as he spoke.
"Haha, I heard that Zhang Weng was very generous to that guy Zhou Cang. He gave him 80,000 taels in one move. When it's my turn, it's just 10,000 taels?"
Zhao Jin sneered and said, now that he mentions Zhou Cang, his lungs almost hurt. Looking at the flattering look on the head of the Zhang family, he feels even more disgusted. He even stretches out his finger, pretending that he has never seen money.
"Here," the head of the Zhang family looked embarrassed, and then he chuckled, "Don't worry, General Zhao. Zhou Cang's eighty thousand taels is just a verbal promise, and whether he will give it or not depends on whether he is alive or not.
And I have already ordered people to bring these ten thousand taels of silver. They are outside the camp. Please ask General Zhao to order people to collect them."
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing that the head of the Zhang family had something to say, Zhao Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, I'm afraid General Zhao came to Jiangzhou not just to relieve the siege, right?"
The head of the Zhang family chuckled.
Zhao Jin frowned in disgust when he heard this, and then said seriously: "I, Zhao Jin, have reported my kindness to the imperial court and rescued the people of Li with sincerity. Is it possible that Zhang Weng still has any doubts?"
"No, no, General Zhao, don't be angry."
The head of the Zhang family hurriedly heard the words and persuaded him, but he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. It turned out that there were 40,000 to 50,000 bandits outside the city. Only Hanzhong sent people to rescue them, and the other counties were stationary. Now there are only 10,000 bandits outside the city.
, does Shu County send troops to rescue? This is obviously to grab credit. I feel contempt in my heart, and I dare not point it out in words. After all, the Zhao family is not something that a small family like myself can offend.
"General Zhao's dedication to serving the country and the people is truly admirable. However, Zhou Cang has not made any achievements since he took office. He only cares about amassing money and harming the people. It is really not a blessing to the people."
After the head of the Zhang family finished speaking, he peeked at Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin was now calm and relaxed. Seeing the head of the Zhao family walking around, he was unwilling to pay attention to him.
"To be honest, a distant cousin of mine was kidnapped into a bandit camp outside the city. Now they are planning to withdraw their troops. However, they still have to fight a tough battle and then they will not withdraw their troops until the officers and soldiers dare not pursue them.
I just heard that there was some disagreement between General Zhao and Zhou Cang today, and tomorrow General Zhao will go out of the city to suppress the bandits?"
The head of the Zhang family is used to being cautious, so he still keeps his words to himself.
"Well, the general was ordered to come here to repel the thieves. Am I still afraid of the thieves outside the city?"
Zhao Jin was a little impatient.
"General Zhao is led by elite soldiers. He will definitely not be afraid of some skirmishers and bandits. However, if the thieves fight with their lives, both sides will lose. In tomorrow's battle, it is better to let Zhou Cang take the lead and wait until they both lose.
, wouldn’t it be inconvenient for General Zhao to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop?”
The head of the Zhang family finally expressed his thoughts.
"If it's not my turn to take action and the thief is defeated by Zhou Cang, then I won't get any credit."
Zhao Jin thought about it and said, what the old man of the Zhang family said makes sense, but the combat power of these thieves outside the city is worrying. With the few generals under Zhou Cang, it is estimated that it will be easy to defeat the thieves.
"Don't worry, General Zhao. I have reliable news. The bandit army will fight to the death! By then, we will definitely fight with Zhou Cang to the death."
The head of the Zhang family said solemnly.
Zhao Jin glanced at him sideways, still refusing to believe that such a bad old man would have better information than himself.
"To be honest, Zhou Cang was so deceitful this time that my distant relative couldn't stand it anymore, so after I promised to give him 50,000 taels of silver, he promised to kill Zhou Cang. If General Zhao thinks that
If I am a thief, then you can report me to the official."
The head of the Zhang family was also desperate at this time and finally threw out his trump card. This week Cangcang extorted 80,000 taels of silver from himself as soon as he came to Jiangzhou. If he established a foothold in Bajun, his family would be a fat man waiting to be slaughtered in the future.
Sheep, rather than letting him cut the meat into pieces, it is better to fight to the death by yourself.
Distant relatives, those are all bluffing lies. This gang of thieves outside the city were so jealous of the money that they saw that they were happy to give them money, so they readily agreed to their request. Aren't they just a polished commander who just took office?
How can the thousands of stragglers he has recruited these days defeat these thieves outside the city?
"Haha, why is Zhang Weng doing this? I already know that Zhou Cang harmed the people. I will take action tomorrow."
Zhao Jin laughed.
"Then everything depends on the general. If the general can let Zhou Cang die in the rebel army, I am willing to offer another ten thousand taels of silver."
“It’s a deal!”
