Chapter seven hundred and sixty ninth: the declining family
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Shaoye put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Qian Biao with a smile.
"Christmaster Qian, don't you have anything to ask me?"
Qian Biao glanced at Liu Shaoye, slowly picked up a chopstick and put the pig's ears in his mouth and chewed them slowly. He turned his head and hooked his fingers, and pointed to the wine glass in front of Liu Shaoye. Qian Bin, who was standing aside, quickly came over and filled Liu Shaoye with wine.
"What's there to ask?" Qian Biao picked up the cup and signaled to Liu Shaoye, saying, "After the breaking of Ezhou City, my Qian family was in trouble, you, Liu Shaoye, gave me advice. Today, I, Qian Biao, can still sit in Yueyang City and gather tens of thousands of troops. At least half of the credit is yours. Now I have found a powerful reinforcement for me. Every step is for my good and for my plan. So why should I do this? I have to ask you why?"
Liu Shaoye laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Qian Biao, "Master Qian has a stomachache."
"When you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me." After drinking the wine in your glass, Qian Biao said leisurely: "Since you appeared in front of me and donated 100,000 yuan to me in one breath, and at the same time, I asked me to collect all the surrounding gentry into Yueyang City, I knew you were not an ordinary person."
Liu Shaoye smiled and said, "Qiangzhou Qian, Yueyang is temporarily stable now. With Zheng Wenchang on Dongting Lake, water and land support each other, there is no need to worry in a short period of time, but have you considered how to go in the future?"
"From the future?" Qian Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Now there is no mind to think about anything. Let's get through this level first."
"If you don't have long-term plans, you will have immediate worries!" Liu Shaoye shook his head and said, "Prepare for the future and plan ahead, this is the reason!"
Qian Biao looked at Liu Shaoye and said, "Mr. Liu, do you think I can pass this time?"
"Of course!"
Qian Biao was silent for a moment before saying, "Yueyang is a good place, and Dongting Lake is even more a good place. Even if I can survive this level, it is not a long-term solution. Zhu Youzhen will not give up easily. The power I finally gathered together was a little less, and it will eventually collapse. There is no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. It is the current me."
Liu Shaoye said: "Qi Zhizhou Qian, I am a businessman. This time I have invested a lot of money on you. Do you think I will do that kind of losing money business?"
"You are not an ordinary businessman." Qian Biao said.
Liu Shaoye nodded: "Do you know why I convinced Zheng Wenchang this time?"
"Just asking for advice."
"Actually, I'm not the only one who went there." Liu Shaoye smiled and said, "The other person is the key point. If this person hadn't followed me, I would definitely not dare to meet Zheng Wenchang alone."
"Oh, I wonder who this person is? He actually has such a great face?"
"You must know this person when you talk about it." Liu Shaoye smiled and said, "His name is Ding Jian."
"Ding Jian from the Ding family in Jingnan?" Qian Biao stood up with a shout: "Aren't he an official in the north? He is also in a high position and powerful position, and can take charge of a piece of land in the river. He is an important official who is trusted by Li Ze. Why did he run back? He is in my Yueyang?"
"In the current situation in the south, how could Mr. Ding not come back? If he doesn't come back, wouldn't this south allow the fake Liang to do whatever he wants?" Liu Shaoye said.
"You are also from the north!" Qian Biao said word by word: "I know there are inner guards in the north, and you are from the inner guards."
"I am from the Tang Dynasty." Liu Shaoye said with a smile.
Qian Biao sat down slowly. "It doesn't matter who you are."
"How can it not matter?" Liu Shaoye said: "Gold Ding is back, which means that the court will never sit idly by the pseudo-liang in the south. This is your chance!"
After thinking for a moment, Qian Biao nodded: "Ding is a famous scholar in Jingnan, with his most powerful strength in Jingnan. Now the governor of Jingnan is his father-in-law. Did he come back from the north just to convince Jingnan to become a banner against the false Liang?"
"It's not just Jingnan, but now you have to add Qian Zhizhou and your Yueyang. Dongting Lake is the shoulder pole between you, Jingnan and Yueyang are the two ends of this shoulder pole. Qian Zhizhou, now you no longer feel that you are isolated and helpless, right?" Liu Shaoye said.
Qian Bin, who was standing on the side, was already full of joy and nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Liu is right. With Jingnan as a supporter, we will no longer fight alone."
"Even so, our strength is still weak." Qian Biao didn't have much joy: "Now Jingnan is about to face an attack from Dai Chao from Shandong Province. I am afraid that the Clay Bodhisattva will cross the river and will not be able to protect itself. How much power can it help us?"
"Don't forget Qian Zhizhou, there is a powerful court behind us." Liu Shaoye said lightly: "Li Xiang has made every decision. He is now preparing to build a powerful inland river fleet in Yangzhou, with General Li Hao and Li as the general of the inland river naval division. At least half a year, this inland river fleet can control the entire Yangtze River. At that time, Qian Zhizhou, you need troops and weapons and weapons."
"In other words, do I want to hold on in Yueyang for a year?"
"Master Qian, don't have confidence?" Liu Shaoye asked back.
"If Zheng Wenchang really can be in the same position as me, it is not impossible." Qian Biao took a deep breath: "But the other party is a water bandit after all, can he consistently follow this strategy? If he forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, if Zhu Youzhen offers a better price, what if he turns around and votes?"
"Of course we have considered these!" Liu Shaoye said: "Of course there are ways to check and balance him. One of them is that Zheng Wenchang will send his subordinates' families to Yueyang City to live. Qian Zhizhou took these people, and was he afraid that Zheng Wenchang would turn into heaven?"
Qian Biao looked at Liu Shaoye in amazement: "Then Zheng Wenchang is not a fool, how could he agree to such a condition?"
"He naturally has his requirements." Liu Shaoye said: "No one is a fool, right?"
"What are his conditions?" Qian Biao asked. It is just right for the other party to have conditions, and it is obvious that the other party's conditions are not so easy to achieve.
"The first one is that he asked Qian Zhizhou to completely assign Junshan Island to him. Where did he want to build a solid water village to watch over your Yueyang City and to match each other. Of course, all your people on Junshan Island must be withdrawn." Liu Shaoye said.
"There is no problem with this." Qian Biao nodded and said, "The small water village I set up on Junshan Island was just collecting taxes from fishermen before, and it didn't work at all. He wanted it, so he would give it to him naturally. It would be very beneficial to the defense city of Yueyang City, and I still want it! Is it just this requirement?"
"Of course, the second one is what makes us a little embarrassed!" Liu Shaoye paused and said, "Although Zheng Wenchang is a water bandit, he is determined to whitewash himself and embark on the right path. It is precisely because of this that when Mr. Ding went to see him, he had the reputation of Mr. Ding and his family background as a guarantee, and he immediately agreed to surrender to us."
"Tell the point!" Qian Biao said.
"This person wants to truly integrate into this famous southern family. The Qian family is also a lintel with a special south gate!" Liu Shaoye said hesitantly.
Qian Biao was a little dumbfounded and said for a while: "He, does he want to?"
"Zheng Wenchang's parents are gone, there is only a sister who depends on each other." Liu Shaoye said: "Zheng Wenchang knew that the eldest son's wife was unfortunately gone in Ezhou City not long ago. So he wanted to marry his sister to the eldest son."
"The right wife?"
"Of course, otherwise how could Zheng Wenchang agree?" Liu Shaoye said.
Qian Biao couldn't help but hesitate. Even though the Qian family had declined, their reputation was still there, so he asked his eldest son to marry a water bandit's sister. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his son Qian Bin on the side.
"Son is willing!" Qian Bin did not hesitate at all: "Father, now the Qian family is a tiger down the mountain and a phoenix with hair falling. Why do you say that there are no famous families? My son now only wants to avenge blood and hate, avenge my uncle, mother, my poor wife and a pair of children. Even if Zheng Wenchang's sister is a female yaksha, I will admit it."
"The eldest son is too worried!" Liu Shaoye was overjoyed and said, "I have seen Zheng Wenchang's sister, and she looks very well-like. Of course, although the Water Bandits' House knows a few words, she knows nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has a good skill and good kung fu. She is also a good skill in leading troops to fight. This time, as Zheng Wenchang defeats Pang Wen, she is the leader all the way."
"My wife, even though she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, has no resistance when facing chaos. Since this woman is a talented woman, it is of great benefit to my Qian family. My father, I have married this wife."
"Qi Zhizhou, since that's the case, then this matter will be done." Liu Shaoye smiled and said, "Then Zheng Wenchang said that as long as the eldest son is willing to marry and be kind to her sister, he will give him a heavy dowry. You also know that this person has swept the West Dongting for a while and has made a fortune. Since he wants the girl to marry, you might as well make this condition higher and keep Zheng Wenchang's permission. In this way, two families become one, are you afraid that Zheng Wenchang will not do his best to go through the water for you?"
When Liu Shaoye walked out of Qian Biao's mansion, he was very happy. Zheng Wenchang naturally had no sister, but there were many such women in Xinyue Fox. Now Yan Shiliu is under Zheng Wenchang's command, and the left and right are just changing his name. This is an important step for the inner guard to penetrate into the Qian family. When Yan Shiliu married, he would also bring some elite soldiers and generals. These people would naturally integrate into Qian Biao's army.
Building a corridor along the Yangtze River line is something that the inner guard has been planning for years, and now he has finally come to an end.
