Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 127

Liu Yu hung his hands in the air, stunned by the scene in front of him.

Guan Ziyang smiled at him: "What? Are you looking stupid? Put your hands down quickly and call someone outside..."

Guan Ziyang picked up the rope in Bao San's hand and tied the two of them up. Looking at the unwilling eyes of the two, Guan Ziyang raised his mouth and said, "You guys, you are everywhere!"

Then Sun Wuzhong was also tied up.

"Shun Shuai, take out the antidote."

"Hmph, yellow-mouthed kid, come here to cheat and sneak attack, I have no antidote!" Sun Wuzhong said angrily.

Guan Ziyang chuckled, he didn't believe the old man's words, if he didn't answer, he must be the first to get drunk, otherwise how could he be fine.

Guan Ziyang groped around inside his clothes, and he found a small porcelain bottle.

"Guan Ziyang, since I fell into your hands today, if I want to kill or cut it, I will give it a good time, and I will be a softie!"

"Hey, why worry? I don't care what to do with you. We can discuss it together after everyone wakes up."

Sun Wuzhong's face darkened immediately.

He is not afraid of death, but he cherishes his own face very much.

If today's events were known to the other vagrant commanders, his old face would be ashamed.

Although he only wanted to solve Guan Ziyang, but he was determined not to hurt the other refugees.

In this situation, waiting until the other vagrant commanders are rescued will be more uncomfortable than killing him.

That's why he deliberately wanted to provoke Guan Ziyang verbally, only to die.

……

Shuai Shuai gradually woke up one by one. They all didn't know why, and they all thought that they were really just drunk.

But seeing Leopard San, Erhu, and Sun Wuzhong being roped aside, he gradually realized that it might not be easy for them to be unconscious just now.

After people read Qi, Guan Ziyang greeted Liu Yu and said, "Brother Liu, you should talk about this matter, it may be more convincing."

Sun Wuzhong treats Liu Yu as his own. Everyone knows that Liu Yu, as Sun Wuzhong's Sima, is also the future successor of the Jinling refugee army. In fact, he should have discussed with them in the big tent. .

But Sun Wuzhong arranged him outside the big tent, and only now did he realize that the poison was actually placed by Sun Wuzhong.

Liu Yu is very conflicted at the moment. Although Sun Wuzhong betrayed the refugee army, in fact, he just thought differently from everyone else, and he didn't intend to hurt everyone.

However, he has always done things aboveboard, and Sun Wuzhong used this despicable method, which made him extremely disdainful.

After Liu Yu finished talking about the incident, he thought that the refugees would not let him go easily, but Liu Jianzhi smiled and said, "Come here, untie Sun Shuai!"

Sun Wuzhong did not expect that Liu Laozhi, as the master, would be so generous.

Even Gao Heng, who had always had a gap with Sun Wuzhong, said calmly: "Shuai Sun is actually only thinking about the refugee army, but his method is a bit extreme."

Since everyone is willing to forgive Sun Wuzhong, Guan Ziyang has nothing to say.

Baosan and Erhu are from Xichao in Xifu, they have always admired Huan Wen, so naturally they didn't make things difficult for them.

Just when everyone thought that everything was fine and the matter would come to an end.

Liu Jianzhi spoke again: "It is a familiar saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. At this critical moment, Liu Yu can distinguish between priorities and kill relatives with righteousness. I think it is time for Sun Shuai to step down."

It was only then that Guan Ziyang came to his senses, this meant that capital crimes were inevitable, but living crimes were inevitable.

This is to help Liu Yu seize power and get Sun Wuzhong's refugee commander!
Liu Laozhi had a bit of a smile on his face, and Guan Ziyang couldn't help but think of him a little more, he was a tyrant.

Sun Wuzhong also saw what Liu Laozhi meant, but he didn't care, Liu Yu was originally his successor, and the affairs of the Jinling Migrant Army had been taken care of by Liu Yu for many years.

As long as it wasn't for other refugee commanders who wanted to annex their Jinling refugee army and let Liu Yu be the refugee commander, it was his wish.

It's just that I'm still in the middle of my career, so if I step down so early, it's just a matter of embarrassment.

But with the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but disagree.

"Jinu, since your seniors think highly of you, and you are the heir I have cultivated for many years, from today onwards, I will formally entrust you with the position of Jinling refugee commander. After speaking, I took out the tiger amulet in my arms .”

This tiger talisman is the evidence to mobilize the refugee army, and it is also a symbol of the refugee commander. His handing over the tiger talisman at this time means that he is really determined to hand over power.

When Liu Yu saw the Tiger Talisman, instead of shining his eyes, he kowtowed three times to Sun Wuzhong.

"Sun Shuai, you are in your prime of life. Under your leadership, the Jinling refugee army lived and worked in peace and contentment, and defeated the barbarians many times. Please take back this tiger amulet!"

"Hey, silly boy, I made a mistake today, and I can't help it anymore. Moreover, I can rest assured that the Jinling Refugee Army will be entrusted to you!"

After speaking, he looked around at the other refugees, and a sadness that ordinary people could not detect flashed in his eyes.

He stepped forward, opened Liu Yu's palm, and solemnly handed the Tiger Talisman into Liu Yu's hand.

Liu Yu raised his head, with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry Sun Shuai, I will follow your teachings and lead the Jinling refugees to resist the barbarians and prosper, so that we can all live a good life!"

……

Liu Laozhi had always been close to Liu Yu, so he took the lead in congratulating Liu Yu.

Seeing this, the rest of the vagrant commanders congratulated each other and said a few polite words. In the future, everyone will communicate more and unite more.

Guan Ziyang thought: "Since Liu Yu has taken over Jinling, it means that the world will change ahead of time!"

Now when "Xuan" is introduced to Jiangbei, the battalion of this refugee army can be replaced.

Then, everyone continued to drink, and at Guan Ziyang's mention, Leopard San and Erhu actually joined in.

In the banquet, everyone discussed again. The refugee army has 30 troops. First, [-] troops will be transferred to Guan Ziyang's Beifu Army.

In fact, Guan Ziyang was already prepared.

Counting the time, Lin Yiguo in Southeast Asia should also come out to make trouble.

……

After the refugee commander was settled, Guan Ziyang bid farewell to everyone and went to Xi's house.

After all, in Jiangbei, it is still the territory of the Xi family, and those who touch others must have an explanation.

Xi Jianzhi in Xiapi still has hundreds of thousands of regular troops stationed there. If he doesn't handle the affairs of Xi's family well, let alone 10 people, even if there are ten people, he won't be able to take them away.

When we arrived at Xi's house, it was already dawn.

Ordinarily, I helped Xi Sengshi enter the Andong Temple, and helped them solve the crisis in Qinggangzhai, so the other party should give me a three-pointer.

Xi Tan heard that Guan Ziyang had negotiated with Jingkou refugee commander Liu Laozhi and Huaiyin Zhuge Yuan, and their two refugee armies were willing to join the Beifu army.

Hearing this, Xi Tan, who was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy.

"The refugee commanders have always been united with one another. Are these two refugee armies willing to join Beifu? Where are the other refugee commanders?"

I heard Xi Tan ask this question.

Guan Ziyang knew it well, as expected, he knew about the gathering of the vagrant commanders last night, and he should also know about the plot between Qinggangzhai and Sun Wuzhong.

It seems that Xi Tan and Xi Chao are likely to be as he expected, only on the surface they are at odds, but in fact they are venting their anger behind the scenes.

He didn't say anything, and replied: "For the time being, I only moved them two, and the court's funds are limited. Their two refugee armies have a total of [-] people, and they have reached the upper line of funds."

Xi Tan paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "The governor of Guandu received the entrustment of the Empress Dowager Chu to rebuild the Beifu soldiers, but I don't know if the governor of Guan knew about it or not. Why rebuild?"

Guan Ziyang smiled and said: "Naturally, this Beifu Army was built by Mr. Xi Daohui before, but because of the imperial court, the Beifu Army disbanded."

Xi Tan said: "Since Dudu Guan knows about this, you should also know how to retreat, right?"

Guan Ziyang replied: "Of course I know this."

Xi Tanpi smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, you should know that our Jiangbei refugees can go north or west, but they can't go south. Do you understand what I mean?"

Guan Ziyang nodded, still smiling sincerely: "Don't worry about this, if the Beifu army is in my hands for a day, they will not be able to take a step south. I plan to set up the Beifu army barracks in Jingkou, what do you think Master Xi thinks? "

The words have come to this point, and both parties already know it well.

What Xi Tan means is that I can release the refugee army to you to form the Beifu Army, but the refugees are not allowed to cross the river and can only be used for the Northern Expedition.

Guan Ziyang answered very clearly, he will never bring refugees back to the imperial court, this Beifu army will stay in Jingkou, under the nose of your Xiapi army.

Seeing Guan Ziyang's understanding, Xi Tan didn't want to tear himself apart with Chu Suanzi, Guan Ziyang was willing to use the 10 people to deal with it, and he was also happy.

"Okay, then the governor of Guan can set off to return to Jiankang now. As for the work of your censor patrol, I have already arranged it for you. I have arrested two corrupt officials, and you can take them back with you."

Guan Ziyang thought: "My good fellow, this arrangement is too thoughtful."

"Thank you Master Xi, that kid will leave now."

……

Guan Ziyang brought the corrupt officials that Xi Tan 'sent' with him, and he didn't know if the two were really corrupt officials, anyway, Chu Suanzi sent him to mess with the Beifu Army.

This censor inspector is just a big banner to deceive others and make him famous as a teacher.

Luo Ding held up his scepter, flaunting his power and opening the way ahead.

Two days later, Guan Ziyang and his party returned to Jiankang.

Xianyang Palace, Taiji Palace.

When all the officials went to court, the little emperor Sima Dan was still the same, sitting on the imperial chair and dozing like a goose.

Chu Suanzi, who was on the side, was discussing important affairs of the court with the officials.

"Guan Dudu, you come from Jingkou for the second time, so what news can you start playing?"

Seeing Empress Dowager Chu asking herself, Guan Ziyang stepped out and replied.

"Empress Dowager Qibin, I did not disgrace my mission and captured two dishonest officials. I ask the Empress Dowager to make a decision."

Chu Suanzi frowned.

"This kid, you know how to play a whole set with me."

Then he said: "Just leave these matters to Yushitai. Do you have anything else to report?"

Guan Ziyang said again: "I am in Jingkou, and I met Liu Laozhi, the Jingkou refugee commander, and Zhuge Yuan, the Huaiyin refugee commander. They expressed their intention to serve the country and are willing to be like my Beifu army. Today, I specially ask the Queen Mother to make a decision."

Chu Suanzi raised his eyebrows with joy, and said excitedly: "As expected, the Ai family did not misunderstand the person, and the governor of Guan Dudu is really fast and accurate."

Above the court hall, all the officials looked sideways at Guan Ziyang.

They were also really surprised that the refugee problem that had plagued the Eastern Jin Dynasty for decades was actually solved by Guan Zi in such a one-month effort.

Can not help but expand the military strength of the imperial court, and also greatly reduce the refugee army, the confidant of the north, by a few points.

Prime Minister Sima Yu came out and said: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, since the refugee army is willing to join us, we will allocate food and salary to the governor of Guandu, and let him run the Beifu army."

Chu Suanzi nodded: "Well, the Ai family has exactly this intention, but Guan Dudu is now the third division of Kaifu Yitong, and you should be responsible for the army's rations. I will allocate you a year's food expenses, as for the future,

You need to prepare by yourself. "

Guan Ziyang replied: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"

In fact, I have already greeted Chu Suanzi's ancestors all over in my heart.

"It's really too stingy to just give it for one year. When Lao Tzu's teaching workshop is set up, I will make a lot of money in the future, and then form a Nanfu army. It won't cost you a penny!"

After retreating from the court, Guan Ziyang followed Xie Yi and arrived at Xie's house first.

I can be considered to have completed the character Xie An confessed, and finally it's time for me to return the favor.

Brother Xie Yifei sent a letter to Kuaiji, asking Xie An to come to Jiankang.

As soon as I arrived at Xie's house, I saw Xie Daoyun's face full of resentment.

But Xie Yi was present, and Xie Daoyun didn't dare to make a mistake, but just stared at Guan Ziyang from time to time, making Guan Ziyang hairy.

After talking to Xie Yi about his experience in Jingkou, of course, the conspiracy with the refugee commander must be kept secret.

Xie Yi was very happy: "With this [-] refugee army, the "Xuan" that can awaken their blood at home will make a qualitative leap in Jin's combat power, and the Northern Expedition to regain the Central Plains is just around the corner! "

Guan Ziyang said: "I'm just afraid that this "Xuan" will also flow to the barbarians, and it will be [-]-[-] at that time."

Xie Yi said: "Hahaha, don't worry about this, we Han people are naturally much faster than them in practicing Han people's martial arts."

"Besides, with this [-] refugee army, the military strength of the imperial court is higher than that of Huan Wen. If he wants to send him to the Northern Expedition than the imperial court, he has to weigh it carefully. As before, the matter of stationing troops in Wuchang may never happen again. Dare to do it!"

After chatting with Xie Yi for a few words, Guan Ziyang left.

But this time, Guan Ziyang clearly sensed that there was someone following him all the time.

He could figure out who it was with his feet.

Except for Xie Daoyun, who else has the skills to jump on Xie Yi's head without being discovered.

After returning to Guan Mansion, Shi Qi and Wei Yiqing happily greeted him as soon as the gate was closed, and Xie Daoyun on the roof also jumped into the courtyard.

At this moment, Guan Ziyang, Xie Daoyun, Qing Chan, Wei Yiqing, and Shi Qi looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke, because they didn't know what to say, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed...

It was Qingchan who spoke first: "Sisters and sisters, let's stop standing there and talk in the room..."
