Chapter 363: Provoking

After Hu Li said that Gao Fengtian did not object, he kowtowed again, got up and smiled, "Although Caomin is in a remote place like Taizhou, he has heard of the name of Judge Gao. He is a celebrity around Xianggong Lu, holding great power. People like this are afraid that they will not be able to live with their husbands for a moment. Now that he comes to Taizhou, there must be something important. I wonder if I am right."

Gao Fengtian nodded and said, "Yes, I came to Taizhou this time to comfort the lord. Taizhou is in a critical position, and it is the source of the stability of Zhejiang East. This is naturally an important matter." He could not see the old man's trump card in front of him, and he said nothing in his words, not giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Hu Li smiled and continued to talk to himself, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying: 'A person who is engaged in literature must have military preparations'. Although the judge was ordered by the Prime Minister, it is too ridiculous to bring less than ten people to Taizhou according to the current situation in Taizhou." Speaking of this, Hu Li looked up at Gao Fengtian's face, and saw that it was like an ancient well, without any fluctuations. Then he carefully said according to the draft he had prepared before: "According to Xiaomin, the judge's trip did not look like a large army followed. It should have happened temporarily and had to come here."

Huli was not talking loudly, but when he heard Gao Fengtian's ears, he was as thunderous as he heard him. Fortunately, he was very cunning and no ripples appeared on his face. He just smiled and said, "If you take it as your father-in-law said, how should you act?"

Gao Fengtian's words were quite joking, but Hu Li was not angry. He kowtowed twice on the ground, stood up and said solemnly: "Although Caomin is ignorant, he can see that Taizhou is definitely not going long now, and someone will have to deal with it. Between these two Zhejiangs, who can bear this great task except Lu Ren, Gong Lu? Although I don't know what the major thing is going on in this trip, if it is useful, please speak out."

Gao Fengtian nodded, and he thought for a moment: If he told the person in front of him that the Mingzhou soldiers were about to attack, although it might immediately turn Linhai City into an empty city, and even tied himself to Zhao Yingong to be promoted to the rank; but if he wanted to do something in Linhai City, he would definitely be unable to do without the help of this person. Besides, the old fox also saw some signs, even if he didn't say it, at most, he would know that the Mingzhou soldiers arrived in a few days.

, it would be better to tell him earlier, so that it would be better for the sake of face. Thinking of this, Gao Fengtian showed his ability to preach in the countryside, showed a charming smile on his face, and said, "Since Mr. Hu said this, I am not hiding you." So he explained the search for ships in Mingzhou at sea, and the matter of the other party's upcoming invasion was revealed one by one. However, the original purpose of his trip to Wenzhou and Shen Yutian who had already gone to Wenzhou was hidden.

Gao Fengtian was still a little nervous when he started to speak. After saying that, he calmed down and looked at the old man in Ge in front of him calmly. After hearing this, Hu Li thought for a moment and said, "If it is true as the judge said, then Zhao Yingong wants to attack from the sea, and the joint is Jiaojiang Cross. Although Linhai City is complete, Ding Zhuang is too few and armor is not complete, so he will definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's besiege. Only the water surface of Jiaojiang Cross is narrow, and the water level changes greatly between the fluctuations and tides. If you don't know the local water conditions, you will suffer a great loss if you accidentally."

When Gao Fengtian heard Hu Li mention Jiaojiang Du, he remembered what he mentioned when he was on a boat before and asked, "Are you talking about the Lingjiang River diversion to Huangyan County? When a family passed by this place, he also heard the boatman mention it, but there was no city wall. If he could guard it, it would be better to withdraw troops from the surrounding powerful people and stick to the Linhai City."

After hearing Gao Fengtian's words, Hu Li replied: "The powerful people are mostly tyrants on both sides of the rat. If they hear that Mingzhou's soldiers are powerful, they are probably mostly swearing to send troops, and they can help them. But I have a distant nephew named Hu Keji who is a fish-teeth nearby and has some reputation among the fishermen. With a call, there can be more than a thousand men obey the orders. It is better for the common people to send him to come and let the judge drive him." After Hu Li finished speaking, he saw that Gao Fengtian had a puzzled face and hurriedly explained carefully. It turned out that this fisherman was different from the farmers, and going to sea was extremely dangerous. In addition, fishing cannot be guaranteed like farmers' income, and the fishing catch was difficult to preserve, so it was easy to be squeezed by merchants. So the fisherman recommended people with fairness and high prestige to think that fish-teeth was concentrated

He got up to trade with merchants and had a certain function as a mutual aid club. Hu Keji was originally from the Mishilang Peak. He had been fishing with his parents since he was a child. Because of his great rural friendship and filial piety, he was also quite fair in his work. He was easily elected as a fisherman by nearby fishermen. Later, after the war in Taizhou, he joined forces with the fishermen in dozens of nearby coastal villages to defend himself, and agreed that if he encountered thieves, he would ignite the beacon fire to seek help. All the young and strong villages in Taizhou held troops to rescue him. Seeing that his strength should not be humiliated and did not violate other people's ambitions, he did not provoke him. After a while, these fishing villages near Linhai became a relatively peaceful land compared to the mainland. Yu Zhiheng was able to defend Linhai City without falling, and it was also inseparable from it.

Hearing Hu Li's words, Gao Fengtian couldn't help but feel secretly happy. If he had the support of these fishermen, he might have given the Mingzhou soldiers who were Zhao Yingong on the narrow river surface of Lingjiang River. He smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Hu. Send someone to recruit Mr. Hu to come. My father-in-law's family is indeed a loyal and righteous family. When I am writing a book with my lord, I will definitely reward you."

"I have sent someone to recruit my nephew before. I must have been waiting in the hall. If Shangguan had nothing to do, he could recruit him to see him." Hu Li replied with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled, and with his gray hair, he looked quite like an old fox. However, in Gao Fengtian's eyes at this moment, the fox looked particularly cute.

"No need to go, let Hu Zhuangshi come in quickly." Gao Fengtian said anxiously. He didn't care about his decent attitude as an official at this time. After all, the Mingzhou navy could be at any time. If he had a point of time, he would have more chances of winning. The old man in front of him had done everything silently. He should not underestimate it. It seems that he had a bet on this trip to Taizhou. When Gao Fengtian thought of this, he unconsciously clenched the fist of his right hand.

Hu Li stood up and bowed to Gao Fengtian again. He carefully stepped back to the door, turned around and stepped out of the threshold, not daring to lack a tribute. After a moment, he brought a man in jealous clothes to the house and bowed to Gao Fengtian. Gao Fengtian looked carefully and saw that this man was of medium figure, strong, rough face, and black and red face. He looked at him as a man who was used to the sea breeze. It was already more than October. The sea breeze in Taizhou was quite chilling when he blew on his body, but he opened his clothes and a dragon head tattooed on his exposed chest. When he came to Gao Fengtian, he did not politely like Hu Li, but just sang a fat look casually, and stood aside, completely ignoring the uncontrollable eyes of his uncle on the side.

"What a rude person." Gao Fengtian thought to himself without any annoyance. He knew that he would give his kindness and power at this time, and he could not annoy him, but he could not let him be proud. He smiled and said, "I am calling you today, but there is a matter to be done. Your uncle said that in the Linhai area, the fishermen are only following you, but I don't know if it is true?"

Hu Ke was not familiar with literature. When he heard Gao Fengtian’s question, he didn’t understand the idiom “The horse’s head is right”. He touched his head and replied, “I’ll take care of everyone. People and boats are all Hu’s words. But if you want a horse, there is no one. The fisherman is very poor, and there is no food to support such rare things as horses.”

Hearing Hu Keji misunderstood his question, Gao Fengtian couldn't help laughing and was too lazy to explain, so he continued to say: "Since that's the case, you can choose three fast boats and prepare for the strong boatman to listen to it under Linhai City. After the matter is completed, I will be rewarded with great rewards."

Hearing Gao Fengtian's words, Hu Keji was confused. Before he came, Hu Li had already revealed the news to him. He was already prepared and planned to sacrifice his life to do a great job. Seeing that Lu Fang's Zhenhai Army was going to rule the Liangzhe area. Any aspiring man would not want to join his command and win a wife and son. Now this judge Gao is in front of him, but a good opportunity to fall from the sky. Unexpectedly, it was such a simple thing.

"This is simple. I have six or seven boats coming to the city this time. The boat is a clutch, and the young man on it is also a top pick. If Shangguan wants it, he will take it away." Hu Keji replied, but his eyes stared at Gao Fengtian's mouth, waiting for the orders behind him.

"Okay, I will send three soldiers to your ship later. You will transport one person on each ship, and set off for one every half an hour to rush to Hangzhou. This matter is of great importance. Don't miss the matter. You should go down and do it quickly." Gao Fengtian ordered sternly, and after that, he asked Hu Keji to retreat.

Seeing this, Hu Keji could no longer hold back and stepped forward and shouted loudly: "You are so unreasonable. If it was just a small matter, why should I come here? Just give some money to recruit people from the fishing village, but let a family run for nothing."

Seeing that Hu Keji was so rude, Hu Li was afraid of rushing to Gao Fengtian. He was about to come forward to thank him and apologize, but Gao Fengtian ignored it and smiled and said, "What do you know, you have only a hundred men under your command. After fighting with a shoulder pole, you feel that you are amazing. Could it be that a family will rely on you to guard this Linhai City? It's just that you borrowed two boats to Hangzhou to inform Mr. Lu. If you hadn't seen how much you want to serve the country, you would have called people to knock you out."
