Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 142 Nanfu Army

Never expected it!

Ever since Zhuge Changmin came to Guan's house back then, unexpectedly he played such a big game of chess so many years ago.

And that Tianji Building can actually 'predict the future'?
As expected of Zhuge Liang's descendants.

have to obey.

In this way, all previous doubts were resolved.

All questions can be connected.

Guan Ziyang asked in a low voice: "You mean you want me to go to Yizhou?"

"Who told you to go to Yizhou, it's useless if you go."

"Unless you can find a sage to help you, it's impossible to snatch the antidote from Zheng Yin's hand."

……

For everything, you still need to quickly enter the semi-holy realm.

However, what the semi-sage pays attention to is chance, what natural disasters and man-made disasters, realm cultivation is second.

"Don't worry, just follow the fate. Don't worry, I have confidence in you. You will definitely become a semi-saint within two years."

"I'm only 17 years old, do you really believe it?"

Ge Hong nodded heavily.

Seeing Ge Hong's confident appearance, Guan Ziyang almost believed it.

"Hurry up and return to Jiankang now. You have completed the task given to you by the Queen Mother. After returning to your command, it should be the opportunity for the Northern Expedition."

This old and unscrupulous person really doesn't go out for half a step, but knows the world's affairs.

Guan Ziyang brought Qing Chan, Shi Qi, Xie Daoyun, Wei Yiqing, and the three princesses Sima Jiaonu back to Jiankang.

Jiankang, Xianyang Hall.

Seeing Chu Suanzi and Sima Jiaonu hug each other tightly, I have to sigh, this mother and daughter are really affectionate.

When the little emperor Sima Dan heard that the three princesses were back, he immediately came to see her, looking very intimate.

"Guan Dudu, you have made another great contribution, do you know what reward you want?"

Guan Ziyang declined and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager Long En, for being a courtier, this is his duty."

Chu Suanzi covered his mouth and laughed dryly: "Then tell me what happened."

After learning that Sima Rui had taken Sima Jiaonu away, both Chu Suanzi and Sima Yu were shocked.

I heard that later Sima Ye arrested several people and went to Huoyuan Cave to refine the blood-breaking pill.

Everyone felt incredible.

However, Guan Ziyang, an outsider, was present, so he would naturally not let him know about the internal affairs of the Sima family.

Guan Ziyang estimated that Chu Suanzi and Sima Yu would discuss this matter after he left.

Chu Suanzi asked: "Governor Guan, now that the Beifu army is in the hands of Xie Xuan, after his drills, the army is strong and strong, why don't I find you another position?"

It's here, it's finally here.

Guan Ziyang had already prepared in his heart, the Beifu army was really prepared for Xie's family.

Guan Ziyang smiled and said, "It's all up to the Queen Mother."

"Okay, now Lin Yiguo is in chaos in Guangzhou, and the ministers in the court think that Jiaozhou is a remote and wild place, so there is no need to pay attention to it, but this is also the land of our Great Jin Dynasty, how can the barbarians be rampant? I will send you to be the governor of Jiaozhou, Kaifuyi and the third division , form the Nanfu Army, and conquer Linyi in the south!"

It's in the plan again!

Guan Ziyang kowtowed to thank him: "The minister accepts the order!"

After leaving the palace, Guan Ziyang swaggered back to the Guan mansion in Wuyi Lane.

As soon as they got home, they saw Qing Chan and the others were arranging and saluting. On the way back from Luofu Mountain, they traveled around the mountains and rivers, and bought a lot of local items along the way.

Injecting porcelain, silk, tea leaves, etc., is a mess.

Guan Ziyang then told Qing Chan: "Don't pack up, take a few pieces, we have to go on the road again."

Qing Chan asked: "Just arrived home and left again? Where shall we go?"

Guan Ziyang revealed an inscrutable expression.

"Go to Jingkou first."

……

At the beginning, Guan Ziyang agreed to Xi Tan, and the 20 refugee army could not be used for other purposes except for the Northern Expedition.

You can go north, you can go west, but you can't go south.

This time I went to Jiaozhou, and I was another polished commander.

Since the refugee army won't let me take it, I'll take it to the head office of the refugee commander.

How come the refugee commanders have to bring hundreds of soldiers each?
Liu Laozhi, Pengcheng, is bold and careful, and ranks first in martial arts among the refugees.

He Qian in the East China Sea is good at naval warfare, because the Hu people don't know how to fight at sea, so they often use warships to harass the country of Yan along the coast of the Bohai Sea, and they always retreat completely.

Zhuge Yuan in Huaiyin is quite resourceful, and he loves and cares about the refugees under his command, so he is the most prestigious.

Le'an Gaoheng, who worked under Xi Jian, was fascinated with soldiers and was good at military formations. He was born in a "specialized class" among the refugee commanders.

Dongping Liu Gui, the oldest among the refugees, is honest and prudent.

The grandson of Jinling has no end, he is conservative and dare not take risks, but the current Jinling refugee commander is already the future true son Liu Yu.

Xihe Tianluo is impulsive and hates the imperial court for holding high the banner of the Northern Expedition and not doing anything.

In addition to their excellent martial arts, these refugees are all first-class talents in resourcefulness, courage, and luck.

Nature has long been in his pocket.

6 refugee commanders, each with 3000 soldiers, that is [-] people.

With the addition of 4000 loyal troops, my Nanfu army has a team of [-] people.

This trip to Jiaozhou is about to start with real swords and guns.

These 4000 people can at least make a base.

When he arrived at Jingkou, he ordered Liu Laozhi to summon the refugee commander.

Three days later, all the refugees will be here.

After Guan Ziyang explained his intentions, everyone clapped and applauded in unison.

They naturally understood Guan Ziyang's intentions. If the Nanfu army succeeds, it will be the real main force of the Northern Expedition in the future.

But of course, they couldn't just leave as soon as they said it, and each went back to the station to arrange their departure.

We also need to select some elite soldiers and strong generals.

Guan Ziyang did not wait for them, but told them to meet in Jiaozhi County.

The reason for this was naturally that they didn't want Chu Suanzi to find them.

Guan Ziyang returned to Jiankang again.

First, I went to Jiaofang Division to check the turnover.

Good guy, the best business to do is indeed the entertainment industry.

In less than a year, Jiaofang Division has made a profit of one million taels of silver.

Well, the military expenses have also been obtained.

When you arrive in Jiaozhou, as long as you have money, are you afraid of lack of people?
At night, Guan Ziyang went to Zijin Bieyuan, Xie Yi still had to pay a visit.

Unfortunately, Xie Yi was not there.

The Guan family at home told him that because Xie Daoyun went out for many days privately, Xie Yi has now taken him to Kuaiji to ground him.

It seems that Xie Daoyun can no longer go with him this time.

On the second day, Guan Ziyang set off from Jiankang again, and his destination was Fuling.

Just go home and get some more money.

One month later, Fuling, Guanjiapu.

Inside the Guan family school.

Seeing the three beautiful beauties in front of him, Guan Zhengqian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

How many good things did my son do in his previous life!

After going out for a long time, I saw my parents at home again.

Guan Ziyang knelt down and kowtowed three times in salute.

Qingchan, Shi Qi, and Wei Yiqing saw Guan Ziyang knelt down to salute, and the three of them quickly followed.

Guan Ziyang stood up: "Father, I'm too busy these days, I don't have time to read..." Guan Ziyang still remembered that his father arranged the books he studied the last time he passed away.

Guan Zhengqian shook his head: "My man has ambitions everywhere, and if it wasn't for you, our Guan family wouldn't be where we are today.

Now our Guan family has been on a par with the four surnames in central Shu, and now when people talk about the gentry in Central Shu, they have to bring our Guan family's name. "

As soon as Guan Zhenggan left, the school suddenly fell into disarray.Guan Zisong took a few brothers and surrounded Guan Ziyang: "Brother Ziyang, I heard that you have become a high-ranking official in Jiankang. This is the army of the North Army and the Army of the South Army. It is extremely prestigious. When will you Take us, we don't want to stay in Guanjiabao anymore."

Guan Ziyang didn't bother to talk to these children. These hairy children were neither civil nor military, so naturally they didn't take war seriously at all.

If you really follow him, you don't know how you will die.

This trip to Jiaozhou was a real battle.

"You guys, it's better to take care of the Guan family's property at home. Now that the Guan family is so big, making money is also a big deal. You don't have to be an official," Guan Ziyang said earnestly.

Guan Ziyang's words made Guan Zisong stunned for a while. He originally wanted to follow Guan Ziyang to see the market, but who knew that Guan Ziyang had an adult tone and didn't care about them at all. Instead, he asked him to take care of them. home industry.

They didn't continue to make fun of themselves, and went back to their seats to read with doubts on their faces, thinking to themselves: "It's so boring! I didn't want to go to Taixue to study, and now, I don't even want to go!"

During breakfast, Guan Guiying pestered Guan Ziyang to go to their east building for dinner. Guan's mother also liked this little niece very much, so she sent Qing Chan to the south building to inform the parents.

When Guan Guiying was eating, she kept clamoring for Guan Ziyang to take her to the back mountain to pick wild fruits. It was true that Guan Ziyang hadn't been with her little tail who had followed her since she was a child, so she agreed.
After dinner, I took the little girl into the back mountain. The back mountain is called Jiguanya, and it is not too high. There are many mulberry fruits in the mountain. It is the end of summer and early autumn. It is full of Jiguan Cliff.

Guan Guiying likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Guan Mu with mulberries, so pick more mulberries in the last season, and after drying and processing, they can be preserved for a long time.

Generally, you can order the servants to do things like fruit picking. Children are very playful, and they think it is interesting to pick them by themselves. Guan Ziyang liked this little girl very much, so he called Hei Nuer, and the three of them went in together. back mountain.

Not long after entering the mountain, Guan Guiying's white calico shoes were covered with mud spots all over the place by her stepping on them. She felt sorry for her new shoes again, and urged Guan Ziyang to go home quickly without picking a few fruits.

Guan Ziyang had no choice but to go along with her, and Guan Gui excitedly snatched the basket filled with mulberries from the black slave and went to find Guan's mother Zhu.

As soon as he saw Guan Mu, he held up the basket as if asking for credit, and said, "Auntie, these are the mulberries I picked, and you can make a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes again."

"Duanzi, you little greedy cat, you are also because your aunt doesn't know that you go to pick the fruit yourself, isn't it just to eat osmanthus cake when you come back next time, no one said you 'eat free food', seeing the mud all over your body, you let the servants It's fine if you don't pick it." Guan's mother kindly taught Guan Guiying a lesson.

"Auntie, Brother Manzi was dragged off to school by his uncle this morning, and his ears turned red. Tell me about Uncle, be gentle..." Guan Guiying complained to Zhu Ping.

Guan's mother, Zhu Ping, looked at her son's ears, but she didn't see any signs of redness and swelling. Knowing that Guan Zhenggan was not really teaching her son a lesson, she replied to Guan Guiying, "Don't worry, Tuanzi. I'll wait for your uncle to come back later. Advise him well."

Seeing that Guan's mother agreed, Guan Guiying rubbed her cute little face on Guan's mother's shoulder back and forth a few times: "Shimu is the best..." After finishing speaking, she bounced back to the south building to change her mud. Order shoes' to go.

Guan Ziyang expressed his relief. No wonder Tuanzi came to the east building for dinner today. It turned out that he felt sorry for my father pulling my ears. Well, I didn't love my sister for nothing.

Guan Mu said: "Maner, last time I heard from Qing Chan that your friend Mr. Xie Jia also likes to eat the candied sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made, this time I will make more, and when I have a chance, I will ask someone to bring it to him. what do you think."

"That's hard work for mother." Guan Ziyang replied.

At noon, although it was autumn, the heat was not gone. Between the Jiguanya mountain forest behind Guanjiabao, birds chirped up and down, and the Wujiang River in the distance flowed quietly.
The Guanjiabao, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, ushered in a rare peace. The scorching sun at noon is not suitable for work, and the servants of the Guan family are resting at home. It is a good time to take a nap.

Guan Ziyang was wearing a white short jacket, and was resting on a cool chair under the grape arbor in the small courtyard, while a black slave fan helped him with a cattail fan.

Qingchan brought a bowl of peeled sweet potatoes, and saw that Guan Ziyang's muscular body was not at all like the thin little man he used to be, and sighed: "Little man, Qingchan feels that you have grown stronger in the past two years." Ah, you didn't do any heavy work, how could you grow so strong."

After several years of hard training, Guan Ziyang's body became stronger and stronger day by day, but it was not the kind of muscle accumulation, but a kind of health and vitality exuded from the inside out.

Others would find it strange that they didn't know, so he deliberately teased Qingchan, and said with a smile: "Men will naturally become stronger when they grow up, just like Sister Qingchan, you will naturally become more and more beautiful when you grow up."

"Oh, Mr. Xiao Lang came to tease me again, ignore Mr. Xiao Lang." Holding half of his blushing face, he ran away.

The black slave on the side giggled and said, "Master, why did Sister Qingchan turn red all of a sudden, it's so funny..."

Guan Ziyang felt that he didn't understand after explaining to Hei Nuer, so he said, "You will understand when you grow up..."

Eating sweet sweet potatoes, riding in the cool shade, leisurely, Guan Ziyang thought: "The weather in Fuling is still the same as in later generations. The power of the autumn tiger is not small. It's so stuffy... It would be great if there was an air conditioner..."

After sleeping till dusk, when Guan Ziyang opened his eyes, there was already a faint sunset glow in the sky. He saw Qing Chan setting up a small table in the courtyard,

Covering it with a red cloth and putting some melon and fruit cakes on it, Guan Ziyang looked strange and asked, "Sister Qingchan, what are you doing?"

Qing Chan replied with a smile: "My lord, you forgot, today is the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. I am preparing the altar, and I will worship the Goddess Weaver Girl tonight."

Yes!

It's actually the seventh day of July again.

I still remember the last time it was Qing Chan who won the first place and nodded.

Guan Ziyang seemed like a lifetime away.

If he doesn't think about the Northern Expedition, he can just be the second-generation ancestor young master at home, and such a life seems to be good.

Shi Qi had never seen Qi Qiao before, and was very excited under Qing Chan's explanation.

But at this moment, Wei Xuan came.

With his wife, dozens of servants, and three ox carts!

Everything on it was covered with a red cloth.
