Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 110 Preliminary Preparations
"According to what Uncle Tian said, it's not impossible to slow down."

"Of course it is. The Commander-in-Chief said that you have to plan carefully before you act. If you don't plan well, there will definitely be disasters."

Ok
I am cheap to my father's temperament, that is indeed extremely cautious.

This kind of caution can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

It is precisely because of Zhao Xun's prudence that Zhao Xun gradually gained power, and now he has become Yu Liang's target.

This is the bright side.

But the bad side of being cautious is that many good opportunities have been missed. If Zhao Xun had the courage, or if he had the strength at the beginning, he would not have failed by following Zu Ti in the northern expedition.

of course
Who can say for sure about such an unknown thing?
"Forget it, since that's the case, let Yu Yi go to Liyang first. In the past few days, I will make good preparations to deal with those dock masters in Liyang."

Tian Qi nodded slightly.

Zhao Yue got into the carriage and walked slowly towards Qingxi Manor.

With the precedent of being assassinated last time, this time, the number of guards around Zhao Yue has doubled, and many people are scattered around to act as eyeliners.

These people are naturally Zhao Yuexin's soldiers.

Escorting Zhao Yue is like marching to fight a war, and it must be dispatched according to rules.

Letting them come out to escort this time, naturally, it also has the meaning of military training and school examination.

If you can't even complete the escort mission and go to Liyang, how can you kill the enemy?

When he arrived at Qingxi Manor, Zhao Yue went straight to the school grounds. Zhao Sheng was dressed in a strong outfit, followed by five big-armed guards. After seeing Zhao Yue, he hurriedly came forward to say hello.

"Brother Lin, I heard that you have become an official, and you are still a county lieutenant. Tsk tsk tsk, you are so majestic. When will I, Zhao Sheng, be able to be a general?"

Seeing that Zhao Yue was going to Liyang, Zhao Sheng, who was like a calf, was envious and jealous.

"Why don't I go to Liyang with you this time."

Zhao Sheng patted his chest, and said solemnly: "Brother Lin, don't worry, when we arrive in Liyang, the younger brother will definitely not become a burden. Instead, he can be a pioneer for Brother Lin and help you kill the enemy!"

Zhao Sheng's figure is indeed that of a fierce general.

"Uncle agrees?"

"Hehehe, my father always wants me to get closer to you. This time you go to Liyang, and I follow. Isn't this getting closer?"

"You guys, are you still joking with me here? This trip to Liyang is not for fun. I think it's going to be a real fight for a while. If you want to fight, you naturally have to risk your life to win Yes, if your little life is lost in Liyang, how can uncle spare me lightly?"

Zhao Sheng curled his lips, and said indifferently: "If you can't even get through a small storm like Liyang, then what's the use of living? It's better to die."

Zhao Sheng is not that kind of soft-tempered person. In his opinion, death is actually not that terrible.

The scary thing is that I am living a useless life, or in other words, my life is not exciting enough!
"Hehehe, my father, I will naturally tell him, don't worry, besides, with my uncle's temperament, since I let you go to Liyang, I have something to rely on, you are not afraid, I am afraid What?"

Looking at Zhao Sheng's appearance of hob meat, Zhao Yue was also laughed at by him.

"Forget it, follow if you want, but it's best to make some preparations, and you don't need to write to Zhongshu Ling, you can just be my centurion."

Centurion?
Zhao Sheng curled his lips, and he looked at Zhao Yue with a little resentment in his eyes.

"The centurion."

"Why? I don't like it? Your clan brother and I are only one hundred and ten people. Is it possible that you want to be a captain? I can't change people for you."

"Brother, don't get angry, and younger brother is just joking."

Zhao Sheng's face change was like flipping through a book, it was extremely fast.

"I believe in your skill, but when you arrive in Liyang, you have to obey my orders. If there is even the slightest disobedience, I will send you back to Jiankang. Can you agree?"

Zhao Sheng's chest was slapped loudly.

"Yes, Sheng will absolutely obey Brother Lin's orders. Brother Lin wants me to go east, but I will never go west. Brother Lin wants me to go shopping, and I will go without saying a word!"

"You bastard."

Zhao Yue was speechless for this kid.

but
Getting along with Zhao Sheng made Zhao Yue feel like a young man.

He was indeed a little too old before.

It is good to be mature, but if you are withdrawn, you are not suitable to be a leader.

"Since Brother Sheng wants to go to Liyang with me, let's come to the study to hear the news about Liyang and what we are going to do in Liyang."

"it is good."

Zhao Sheng also put away the hippie smile on his face, and followed Zhao Yue into the study.

brush~
Entering the study, Tian Qi found a map from the study.

It is a bit too simple to say that it is a map.

This is the map of Liyang, written on parchment.

of course
Compared with those maps of prefectures and counties, this map of Liyang is naturally crude, but crude is crude, although this sparrow is small and complete.

Rivers, roads, villages, docks, people
A series of information is all recorded on it.

Just by looking at the map, Zhao Yue can easily get a glimpse of the situation in Liyang.

Maps, like books, are very precious things.

And compared to books, maps are even more important in wars.

Before the war, if you can get the defense map of the opposite side, it is equivalent to opening the whole map in the war, and it is difficult to lose.

but
The real defense map is generally difficult to obtain. The one in Tian Qi's hand is also the Liyang map three months ago.

"The military deployment map of the mountains, rivers and cities of Liyang County is on it. It has been three months, and some places will change, but generally speaking, it will remain unchanged."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly.

"I'm afraid that Yu Yi also has this map of Liyang?"

Tian Qi smiled a little unfathomably, and said: "The Yu family is really capable, but the map he got may not be as detailed as mine."

Zhao Yue recognized his own intelligence capabilities.

"Uncle Tian, ​​teach me quickly."

Tian Qi traveled with Zhao Xun to the north and south, and fought countless battles. The scars and sword marks on his body are undoubtedly the glorious witness of his glorious years. Zhao Yue has always attached great importance to the words of Tian Qi, a person who has come here.

An old family is like a treasure, this sentence is not casually said.

"Brother Lin, please take a look."

Tian Qi pointed to the parchment map and said: "Nowadays, Liyang is not monolithic. During the period, there were five dock masters who were relatively powerful, each occupying one side, and there were thousands of refugees under their hands. It can also pull out 2000 people.”

Tian Qi pointed to five locations on the Liyang map.

On it is written the words Ubud, as well as the owner of Ubud, the number of refugees in Ubud, and the number of soldiers that can be drawn.

of course
These figures are only approximate.

Liyang, Qin Zhi.In the 24th year of Qin Wangzheng (223 years ago), Chu was destroyed and Liyang County was established, because "there is Lishui in the south of Liyang County, so the county is named after it.

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu enfeoffed Fan Zeng as the Marquis of Liyang, the state of Marquis, and built Liyang City, also known as "Yafu City", which was still a county due to the increase and death.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liyang County was renamed as Yangzhou.

In the first year of Yongxing (304), Huainan County was divided into two counties, Liyang and Wujiang, and Liyang County was established, and Liyang was the county seat.

Liyang naturally has a county town, but this county town is not even as good as other people's Ubud.

"The city of Liyang County suffered from repeated wars. The city walls were dilapidated and collapsed, and it was difficult to defend. There were few people in the outer city of the county city, and only the inner city was the seat of the county government."

Zhao Yue frowned slightly.

"Since it's a county town, why didn't the imperial court send people to repair it?"

It doesn't take a lot of money to repair the city.

After all, the refugees are ready-made, so they can be recruited directly, and the most they can do is pay some food and grass.

"Refugees are the source of turmoil and disaster for the Sima family. If Liyang County is repaired and occupied by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be difficult for Taicheng to send people to take it back? That's why. The delay went on, and no one came to mention it."

There are probably two reasons why no one mentioned it.

"The royal family is afraid of the refugees, and those dock owners are happy to see the county city in ruins. Only in this way can their Wubao gather more people, but?"

Tian Qi nodded slightly.

"As Brother Lin said, those dock masters think so."

In such a situation, if you go to be a county guard, you have no people to manage under your command. The people are all in the Wubao of the five dock masters. How do you manage Liyang County?
If it is not a powerful figure, it will be difficult for this person to be a county guard to make a difference.

And
You are a powerful figure with skills, but if you want to make a difference in Liyang County, it will definitely affect the vested interests of these people.
Assassination is absolutely indispensable.

I'm afraid you won't even know how you died when the time comes.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to crush a local snake.

Hearing Tian Qi say this, Zhao Yue became even more indifferent to Yu Yi going to Liyang first.

No one would take him seriously in the past.

"Although there is still a city wall in Wujiang County, the city wall is narrow and small. The so-called city wall is only piled up with rammed earth and is only two feet high. If the enemy comes to attack, it is easy to break through Wujiang County, and even if it is a siege If we don’t fight, due to the small size of Wujiang County, there is very little food and grass stored in it, and within a month or two, the food will be exhausted.”

"It seems that this trip to Liyang is not as simple as that Yu Yi thought."

"Of course it is."

Tian Qi's face is a little solemn.

"The so-called refugees are all blood-licking people. They have done everything, rape and plunder. I am afraid that some people are addicted to eating human flesh. If you want to convince these people, rely on Brother Lin's poems and talents. But if you can’t convince them, rely on this.”

Tian Qi patted the dagger on his waist.

"Sword?"

Zhao Sheng asked on the side.

"Yes, you have to make them fear you, and then they will respect you."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly, keeping Tian Qi's words firmly in his heart.

"To go to Liyang, it seems that we have to start from Taohuadu, go to Jiangbei and go west."

Tian Qi nodded slightly.

"That boy from the Yu family is actually right. Su Jun has already faced off with Guo Mo in Huaiyin. When they decide the winner, they will definitely approach Jiankang in the south."

Although Guo Mo has a great reputation, he only came to Huaiyin after all, so he might not be Su Jun's opponent!
It depends on how long he can last.

The longer he lasts and controls Liyang, the more confident he will be in Tianshui Zhao.

"Among the five dock masters, one is ours. As for the other four, they are not completely weak. Brother Lin also needs to know something about the grievances and hatred between them. Later, when he arrived in Liyang , you can take advantage of the contradictions between them and benefit from it.”

"Exactly."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly, with a look of deep approval.

Next, Zhao Yue and Zhao Sheng were like two obedient students, listening to Tian Qi's information about Li Yang.

Before he knew it, the Golden Crow had already fallen to the west.

The crescent moon climbed up the branches, and it was getting late.

"Tian Qi, let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

Today Tian Qi said a lot about Liyang, and Zhao Yue felt that he benefited a lot.

But if you listen to too much at once, you will inevitably feel dizzy, so let's take a break before talking.

"Alright."

Tian Qi also got up.

"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Tian Qi bid farewell and left, Zhao Sheng got up, but was stopped by Zhao Yue.

"Let's have dinner together, and it won't be too late to go back after eating."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Well."

He has a carefree personality. For him, eating is eating wherever he is, and there is no difference.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Yue went back to the study, and now there is no Zhao Shengtianqi in the study.

He thought for a while, and said to Xi Xiang at the door of the study: "Come in and study ink, I want to write a letter."

write a letter?

Xi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately came in to grind ink for Zhao Yue, while Zhao Yue opened the silk and began to write letters.

The bright yellow silk was embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks, obviously this letter was not very serious.

Yes
This letter is addressed to the county magistrate of Sui'an.

Although he was very close to Jiankang when he went to Liyang this time, he definitely couldn't leave Liyang in a short time.

This letter is not only an expression of love, but also mixed with advice to the Lord Sui'an.

Notice
In another time and space, Su Jun directly attacked Jiankang.

Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun died in the palace because she was afraid of being humiliated by the refugees.

As for how he died, there is no explanation in history.

The emperor, King Wu, and all the clan's children were all controlled by Su Jun.

In this out-of-control situation, this situation may not happen, but the south also needs to plan ahead.

After writing the letter, Zhao Yue also folded the silk letter and put it in a brocade bag.

"Send it into the palace tomorrow."

As for who to give it to, Xi Xiang naturally knows.

She nodded slightly.

"The servant understands."

"Okay, things have been going on all day, and I'm tired, let's rest."

When Zhao Yue walked out of the study, he was about to go to the inner room, and Xi Xiang timidly followed behind.

"Xixiang, you should go back and rest too."

Xixiang grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands, hesitation flickered in her eyes, but she finally spoke.

"Mr. Lang, servant girl will go to Liyang with you. I don't have any female relatives to take care of my master, so servant girl is worried."

Zhao Yue smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a person with five bodies and not working hard. I will take care of myself. Besides, isn't there Zhao Zhong by my side? You don't have to worry about it. This time I go to Liyang. Dangerous, I will pick you up when you are safe."

Seeing Zhao Yue's firm eyes, Xi Xiang nodded slightly.

"Sister Qiu Ju and I are waiting to serve Lang Jun."

Zhao Yue took Xi Xiang into his arms and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, your mouth is like a honeypot, it looks like I have to deal with you tonight."

In Xixiang's scream, Zhao Yue picked her up by the waist and strode into the inner room.

tonight
Destined to be restless.

The wind seems to be extraordinarily noisy.
