Taiyuan Wang's team walked through Yizhou very smoothly, and the patriarch couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that Wang Jun was right in his judgment and Guo Xi didn't dare to really deal with Wang.

However, when the group of them went to Qingzhou and wanted to go to Xuzhou through Qingzhou and then to Guangling in Yangzhou, things became a little different.

"What wave is this?" Wang Wen asked.

The family general who was in charge of the trilogy replied with a frown: "I met three waves of refugees and two groups of bandits."

Wang Wen sneered: "It seems that the so-called great rule of Qingzhou is also bragging."

As the governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun was the only son, so it was his turn as a bastard to head the family.No brothers means no one to support each other. Fortunately, Wang Jun’s uncle’s lineage is not bad. There are four cousins ​​in the same generation as Wang Jun, but time is merciless, and now only Wang Wen is left one person.

Therefore, this time the Wang family moved south, the leader was this Wang Wen.

Hearing what the Lord Lang said, the general felt a little anxious: "The subordinates are not afraid of refugees and bandits, but Guo Xi, who has malicious intentions and uses the army as bandits. Now Qingzhou is his territory. No matter what the actual situation is, if With a cruel heart, he detained us in Qingzhou, we are not familiar with the place, I am afraid that every day will not respond, and the land will not work."

Wang Wen looked at the general speechlessly: "Do you think Guo Xi is so bold?"

There was a hint of fear on the general's expression: "It's not easy to say, it's not difficult for Guoxi in Qingzhou to wipe us out. When everyone is dead, we can directly blame the bandits, and we will be done."

What the family general didn't say was that he had done this kind of thing before, and it was ordered by the head of the family, Wang Jun himself.

Wang Wen hesitated, and said: "My brother once said that we should be safe and sound when we go to Qingzhou."

The general obeyed the rules of being a subject and did not continue to persuade, but before leaving, he still said: "Please prepare for the rainy day, the master, and prepare early. The subordinates will definitely not let the bandits harass the master's family."

Wang Wen and his family were about to leave. Looking at the mighty Wang clan, they wondered in their hearts whether it was so spectacular when Luoyang moved to the south. On the way, Liu Yuan's cavalry made countless surprise raids. Those famous families in Luoyang who were closest to the power center Is the aristocratic family like his Taiyuan Wang family today, like a bereaved dog?

Worrying all night, Wang Wen decided to listen to the opinions of his family. Since his elder brother valued the face of the family too much, he felt that everyone was like this. If he hadn't got the blue eyes of the Chen family Chen Zhan, he might have been an unknown person at all, how could he be so big today.So no one can guarantee how this person behaves, and Wang Wen can't gamble with Taiyuan Wang's wealth and life.

"Transfer from Qingzhou to Yanzhou." Wang Wen finally decided to adapt to the actual situation and avoid Guoxi's sphere of influence.

Yanzhou is in chaos now, but it is precisely because of the chaos that no one will notice them.As for ordinary refugees and bandits, Wang Wen thought, he can only say sorry, he will not risk his whereabouts to be found out, and be merciless.

So at the junction of Yizhou and Qingzhou, Wang's migration team suddenly changed its route and went straight to Yanzhou.

And outside the pass where they rushed into Yanzhou, a group of mysterious people were watching silently.

The one who seemed to be the leader asked, "How many Jie people are in our team?"

"Two, Yelang and Qiyijia."

"Please ask these two brothers to follow up." The leader said: "We don't want to be too blatant in Shi Le's territory, and large troops can't follow."

"Isn't it okay to turn the parts into the whole?" The person next to him suggested, "I'm afraid it won't work with just two people."

"That's enough. You two just need to follow Mrs. Wang and write down the intelligence information. You don't need to do anything special. Your own safety is the priority." Then the leader paused and said, "If it really doesn't work, it's okay to join Shi Le's army. Now that we need to control too many Han people, there must be a shortage of people of the same race in our hands, so it shouldn’t be too embarrassing for you.”

Among the two Jie people, Yelang smiled heartily: "Don't worry, boss. We can't treat ourselves badly."

The leader nodded: "You have to understand that each of us in Heming spent a lot of energy and resources to cultivate them. Loyalty and missions are important, but the most important thing is your own life, which cannot be easily compromised. "

All the subordinates responded generously: "Yes!"

Then the two Heming spies who were born in Jie people dressed up a bit, and left the horses and other things that would reveal their identities. Finally, seeing that the Wang family and his party had gone far, they also walked to Yanzhou Pass in a low-key manner.

And the leader continued to watch for a while, and then said: "Return to the mission." After speaking, he took everyone and left immediately.

What to do next, you still need to ask your superiors for instructions, and now the task of forcing Wang and his party into Yanzhou has been successfully completed.

However, within a few days, the leader received the news from the two spies, and according to the actual situation, relevant strategies were quickly issued.

Since the Wang family entered Yanzhou, the formation has not been very smooth. It can be said that they have been robbed continuously. First, refugees and bandits attacked the team. come over.

Although Wang's trilogy is powerful, it is impossible to compare with Shi Le's army, and all Wang's clan fell into Shi Le's hands.

Ordinary power leaders hold the Taiyuan Wang family in their hands. Even if they don't try hard to get people under their own hands, they will politely put them under house arrest and avoid sending help to their opponents. Anyway, they won't really embarrass a family. of.

However, at this time, Shi Le was not a king who really had the ambition to seize the world, but was just a bandit leader who was forced by the famine and had no food to eat and had to bring the same poor food to be a bandit in Yanzhou.Although he superficially agrees with Han soldiers and admires Han culture, he is still a Hu in essence. He is not transforming into Han to rule those Han soldiers, but turning those Han soldiers to Hu people training.

Therefore, the end of the Wang family can be imagined. It is a trivial matter that property and money were taken away. The precious book collections of the past were damaged or picked away. chose suicide.

There are still two trembling 'counselors' under Shi Le's command. They can read and write. In order to survive, they attached Shi Le to do some things like settling accounts. They have no right to speak, and no one cares about their words.But these people understand that Shi Le is doing death, and if he moves the Taiyuan Wang family, he will inevitably be attacked by the family. The world has been ruled by the family for a long time, and the power behind those gentry is unimaginable.

At this time, two newcomers happened to find these two "counsellors" and said that they had a way to escape. They didn't like Shi Le, the leader, but it was easy to escape, but it was difficult to find a place to stay.

The two counselors communicated with each other. There was a young man from the Wang family who was held incommunicado because of his young age and good appearance. They couldn't save the other members of the Wang family, but this young man could give it a try.

This young man is the stepping stone to wealth, and it is easier to take away the child, and the two Jie people immediately agreed to this matter. That night, the four of them stole the child, riding the Jie man from nowhere. The horses that came here rushed to Jiankang.

These two counselors didn't know that the Wang family in Taiyuan was originally going to seek refuge with Sima Rui, but they took the stepping stone of Wang's young man and went straight to Sima Yue, because the emperor is building Kang, don't think the emperor is a fool That signboard was really quite effective.

The two Capricorns said that they don't know anything, so let the two gentlemen think about these twists and turns.

After the four were tired from riding horses, the two Jie people quickly left to find a carriage, sold the tired horses, and the five continued on their way in the carriage.

I don't know whether it was Shi Le who thought the escaped people were insignificant, or whether the Jie people who were in charge of routing and other matters were very skillful. Anyway, the group escaped Yanzhou without any danger, and finally arrived in Jiankang after more than ten days of hard work.

The news that the Wang family in Taiyuan was destroyed by Shi Le spread throughout the southern states. The gentry were furious and demanded that Shi Le be severely punished.

Sima Yue felt that the morale was high and the morale of the army was available, so he decided to personally lead the army to destroy Shile.

This is not to blame for Sima Yuetuo, but his choice in desperation.The move of the capital was a decision he made. Although the northern gentry took root in the south by various means, the conflict between the north and the south did not disappear.Those aristocratic families who followed him from Luoyang and other places to the south have always missed their homeland, which is one reason why they have always supported him now.On weekdays, his temper was rather irritable and too violent, which also led to increasingly tense relations with his subordinates. Sima Yue was the leader of the Sima clan, and it was not that he didn't know that some troubles would happen if this continued.

Therefore, Sima needs victory more to show that he has the ability to regain the northern territory, and looking at everything, only Yanzhou is the most suitable.The distance is close, the opponent is not strong.

Yes, Sima Yue looked down on Shi Le, no, not only Sima Yue, but the gentry in the south didn't think highly of Shi Le, they all regarded him as the leader of the rioters, the lord of bandits and the like.But now this kind of person who they don't even look at on weekdays has killed the Taiyuan Wang family, and now there is only one young Xiaolangjun left, which makes the family members not angry.

But Jiankang has been recuperating for more than three years now, and there have been no natural disasters in the past two years. It can be said that the south has been smooth, and everyone has calmed down for the time being. Sima Yue felt that now the court has The power of a battle.

With an army of 15, countless grain and grass farmers moved with the army. Such a large amount of money shocked the whole world.

But something even more shocking is yet to come.

Sima Yue was defeated, more than half of the 15 troops died, and Shi Le's army was like a ghost. Sima Yue killed half of his [-] to [-] troops, but he never caught Shi Le himself. Let this person escape, and then he will not know where to replenish the source of troops.It doesn't matter how good Shi Le is in using soldiers, but the army under his command is better than hungry wolves, as long as they bite the meat, even if they lose their lives, they will not let go.And Shi Le probably didn't have enough food and grass. His favorite thing to do was to lead the cavalry to attack the food and grass transportation line, kill some of the peasants, and then coerce the rest to transport the food and grass back to his camp. There was a mutiny due to food and wages.

Sima Yue collapsed.

In the end, he even got a headache when he heard Shi Le's name.

Yizhou Governor's Mansion.

After You Hongyin finished dealing with Qingzhou's affairs, he ran to Yizhou.

Originally, things in Qingzhou were already on the right track, and there was no need for him, the governor, to watch every day, but because of the integration of increasingly large private armies and caravans, the establishment of new military ranks, and the restructuring of the existing military system, etc. , Three years after he fell into Yizhou's hands, he had the opportunity to come and see this place.

"Thank you, Brother Shilong." You Hongyin said with a smile, "This time, I specially brought some good things to share with Brother Shilong."

After Lu Yun gave a salute, Fang smiled and sighed: "It's too much for my lord to leave Qingzhou."

You Hongyin said: "Back then, I went to ask Brother Shilong to help me. I also left for two months. I can't go there, but now I can't. Don't worry, there are books here, and Qingjun's help. questionable."

There was a trace of worry in Lu Yun's eyes: "My lord's family's bloodline is almost cut off, and the well-being of tens of millions of people is tied to you, so you can't be too careful. The method of seeking Yizhou is not the right way after all, and there will inevitably be young people."

When You Hongyin heard this, he sighed: "Brother Shilong, it was in vain that I found a wonderful man on Maoshan Mountain. His tea-making skills are the best in the world, and he picked the leaves of the magical tea tree on the top of Mount Tai. It took me a long time to get two taels of good tea, so I hurried to find you to offer a treasure, why you are also like others, persuading me to marry a wife."

"Let's not say that the lord has no heirs, even if he is not an heir, he still needs to rely on marriage to win one or two help." Lu Yun said: "Although the lord comes from a family, it is a side branch, and the status is not very high. If you marry a daughter from a family , the process of our efforts to achieve our goals may be cut in half.”

Marriage is the most powerful means for the family to support each other. They marry each other. Even the women in the royal backyard are mostly descendants of famous families. Those women from the Han clan have always been in the harem. not high.In fact, this is also a way for the royal family to win over the aristocratic family as their backing and consolidate their position through marriage.

For example, Sima Zhong, the foolish emperor today.

It is well known that he is a fool, but in the end he was able to ascend to the throne, why?In addition to his father's strong support, there are two protective mountains behind him.One is Sima Zhong's mother, Yang Yan from the Hongnong Yang family, and the other is Jia Nanfeng. Although the Jia family is not recognized by the old family, because their family is a hero of the dynasty and a new noble in the temple, it has to be said that the Jia family The strength cannot be underestimated.Although in the end, Jananfeng did not help Sima Zhong, but instead caused the beginning of troubled times in Luoyang, Sima Zhong was able to be the emperor in peace and stability for so many years, and Jananfeng contributed a lot.

From the matter of Sima Zhong, we can see how powerful the marriage is.

You Hongyin said: "Sir, you should understand that although I come from a noble family, I do have a lot of dissatisfaction with the noble family."

Lu Yundao: "My lord has already stated this point when we first met."

"So, I don't want too many clans standing behind me." You Hongyin said: "My goal is different from that of the clans. Instead of using their abilities to speed up the process and make the future become too big, it's better to be like It’s the same now, keep a distance from each other, and each will rely on its own ability in the future.”

Lu Yun said: "My lord, do you want to break with the family?"

You Hongyin said: "How is it possible? I regard my husband as the mastermind and use more people from the family. How can I break with the family. What's more, the family is not something that can be solved by disasters, military disasters or death. As long as there are high or low rights, they will always exist. I don't want to break up with the family, but I just don't want the family to 'monopolize'."

Lu Yun said: "Monopoly? What do you mean?"

"It is to make something your own, and others can only get it from you if they want it." You Hongyin explained briefly: "The aristocratic family monopolizes knowledge and rights, and it becomes the person who makes the rules. They can call the wind and rain in their own field, but they don't know that corruption and greed have already turned them into decay. I'm going to plan this kind of monopoly and give other Han people a chance. The rotting wounds of the gentry squeeze out the pus and blood inside, making it easier to accompany the development of history."

After listening to these words, Lu Yun understood that these were the words from the heart of the lord, but compared to those who were distracted by the lord's nonsense, Lu Yun was much smarter, and he did not express his opinion on You Hongyin's words , but said: "No matter what, the master's inheritance must be inherited by someone, not to mention the harmony of yin and yang since ancient times is the most reasonable thing in the world. You will have to pass this test, my lord."

It means that since having a child is an inevitable thing, it is better to have a child early than to be born later.

You Hongyin was speechless.

After the two of them finished talking about the mess, Lu Yun handed over the latest information that Sima Yue was seriously ill before the battle, and the name of Yanzhou Shile had already been known all over the world.

After reading the information, You Hongyin wrote down the names of Sima Yue, Sima Rui and Liu Yuan on the paper, then crossed out Sima Yue, but added Shi Le's name.

Lu Yun frowned: "My lord thinks so much of that Hu slave?"

You Hongyin said: "Shilong, you made the same mistake as Sima Yue." He clicked on some data in the application form: "Although Shi Le lost half of his troops by Sima Yue, in just a few dozen Within a day, he filled up the people again. Why? This person has unparalleled organizational skills and affinity. As long as he does not die, even if there are not many troops around him, as long as he finds the right time, he will gather people. , make a comeback."

You Hongyin looked through the information and found the one he wanted, which recorded the composition of Shi Le's army: "Most of his generals are state troops from Bingzhou and Yanzhou. After Liu Yuan penetrated, the Bingzhou Army became a straggler completely, while the Yanzhou Army was in disarray from the very beginning. However, Shi Le was able to gather this group of people, and when there were not enough logistics personnel With the support, he led so many people by relying on the fellow Jie people around him. Doesn’t that explain the problem.”

Lu Yun was a little silent, he stripped away his discriminatory gaze, and looked at Shi Le from a peaceful angle.

Indeed, he was careless: "Sorry, my lord."

You Hongyin said: "No problem. It's just that Sima Yue's big defeat will stimulate Shi Le's ambition. Maybe soon, after Shi Le's army finishes eating Yanzhou's food, they will rush out of Yanzhou and go to other places plunder."

Regardless of whether Sima Yue died or not, he completely lost control. The gentry who had gathered around him would consider choosing the Lord of Power to support them and regain their northern homeland for them.Needless to say, this person must be Sima Rui.

And Shi Le, through his back-to-back fight with Sima Yue, understood that those famous troops outside may not be so powerful. Countless food, countless money and women are beckoning to them.

Shi Le will become a powerful and harmful scourge.

You Hongyin pondered for a while, and then asked about Youzhou: "The whole territory of Youzhou has been captured now?"

Lu Yun nodded and said: "Yes, the entire territory of Youzhou has completed the defense change, and the veterans transferred from Qingzhou will take over." After all, Youzhou City is bordered by Xianbei, and ordinary recruits Lu Yun can't rest assured.

Since Youzhou City was destroyed, Wang Mi led the army to garrison Youzhou City, and then slowly attacked the counties and counties in Youzhou.

The people of Youzhou are not ignorant of good and evil, look at Yizhou next door, it was originally in such a chaotic state, but now it has changed drastically after only three years in Guo Shijun's hands, how can it not make people jealous.

"Didn't you say that Xianbei and Wang Jun reached an agreement to attack? Did you ever send troops to help?" You Hongyin asked.

"Where do we have spare troops?" Lu Yun smiled bitterly: "The lord's soldiers will be very strong, but they will cost too much money, and they can't afford to expand the army. The affairs of Xianbei were taken over by Commander Hu. After a few waves of ceremonies, the tribes of Xianbei are now fighting for some reason, at least this year, they don't have much energy to go south."

"It doesn't matter," You Hongyin said, "There is no one in Youzhou now, and the place is so unstable, so I will go there myself. Brother Shilong, please continue to stay in Yizhou, but the next mission will be directly on Yanzhou .”

Lu Yun was startled: "Now Yanzhou is full of eyes, I'm afraid it's a little bit reluctant to attack Yanzhou."

Now that Sima Yue and Shi Le are fighting to the death in Yanzhou, if someone interferes, they will be targeted by everyone, that's why Lu Yun said this.

"When Sima Yue retreats, it's your chance, Shilong, to intervene."
