Guo Song has already inspected Hangzhou and Huzhou, Guo Song has arrived in Yuezhou, today is the second day of his inspection in Yuezhou, but in Huiji County, Yuezhou, Guo Song unexpectedly met Zhang Lei's Li An.

Of course, Zhang Lei and Li An took the initiative to come to the door, and the two of them purchased celadon here and heard the news of the Jin King's inspection in Jiangnan.

Guo Song invited the two into the official office, and it was really cordial to meet old friends in another country.

Guo Song invited the two of them to sit down, and asked with a smile: "I thought you would have returned to Chang'an a long time ago, but you are still in Jiangnan, are you already happy?" ”

Zhang Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother definitely didn't expect that we actually went to Guangzhou by boat." ”

"Why go to Guangzhou?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

Li An said with a smile: "The main thing is to test the ship, we bought twenty big ships, according to the convention, to try to take a trip that is not far and not too close, Guangzhou is the most suitable, it stands to reason that we should wait in Mingzhou, but the fat man said, instead of waiting stupidly in Mingzhou, it is better to go with the ship in person, I have never walked the sea in my life, so I happily went to sea with the fat man, no, I just came back not long ago." ”

"Seasick?"

Li An smiled and shook his head, "I don't get seasick, but the fat man vomits all over the place, and swears along the way that he will never board the ship again." ”

"Lao Li, it's too exaggerated, I just complained a few words, I can't talk about swearing and swearing! Besides, do I get better when I come back from time to time? ”

"I came back with a good performance, I adapted quickly, and I was ready to go on a long voyage."

Guo Song asked curiously, "What did you buy in Guangzhou?" ”

Speaking of the harvest in Guangzhou, both of them were overjoyed, Zhang Lei eyebrows danced: "I bought a batch of Nanyang spices in Guangzhou, my luck is very good, the government is about to deal with a batch of spices seized from pirates, Kang Bao is very righteous, and directly sold this batch of spices to us, and the price of the origin is at least ten times the profit when it is shipped back to Chang'an." ”

Guo Song smiled, "Then you are really making a lot of money, it is actually the price of the origin, it seems that this Kangbao is unreliable!" ”

Zhang Lei and Li An were startled, and Li An hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't blame General Kang, General Kang is already very good, at least he has no selfish intentions, I heard that the things that were captured by pirates in the past were directly divided by the generals, or they were sold to their own people for a few yuan symbolically." ”

Guo Song smiled and said: "I'm just talking, it's his right to auction pirate goods, I won't ask, but when do you plan to return to the capital?" ”

"We plan to go back tomorrow, we have bought a batch of celadon in the past two days, and we have also bought other goods, and we are going to Hekou Port in the north, and then transfer from Hekou Port to Chang'an."

"You are ships of five thousand stones! Can the Cao River in the north go? Guo Song asked.

Zhang Lei hurriedly shook his head, "The sea ships will go to Hekou Port, and then rent a tank fleet, and the sea ships will return to Mingzhou." ”

The three of them chatted a few more words about the situation in Guangzhou and Mingzhou, Guo Song wanted to invite them to dinner, but Zhang Lei and the others had to go to the acceptance of the celadon on board, so the two took the first step to leave.

As soon as the two left, Yang Yuling, the assassin of Yuezhou, hurriedly came, Yang Yuling is Han Rong's son-in-law, and he is both talented and virtuous, he was originally just Sima of Yuezhou, Han Rong recommended him to Guo Song, not long ago, Guo Song officially appointed him as the assassin of Yuezhou.

Yang Yuling handed an eagle letter to Guo Song, "Your Highness, this is a pigeon letter from Runzhou, please take a look at it!" ”

Guo Song unfolded the eagle letter and read it carefully, his brows furrowed, something happened in Yangzhou, the letter said that Zhu Zhu's forcible seizure of the merchant's wealth caused turmoil in Yangzhou, and Li Bing implored him to return to Runzhou immediately.

Guo Song took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and it seemed that his plan needed to be adjusted.........

Guo Song left Yuezhou with his family that afternoon and returned.

They took a horse-drawn carriage to Hangzhou first, then transferred to a boat and went directly to Runzhou.

Four days later, Guo Song's fleet returned to Runzhou, and Li Bing personally went to the dock to greet the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

The Dugu family has a mansion covering an area of 30 acres in Runzhou, Guo Song's family lives in this mansion in Runzhou, Guo Song ordered his soldiers to escort his family back to the house, and he and Li Bing went to the barracks.

"What's the situation in Yangzhou now?" In the big tent, Guo Song asked directly.

Wang Yu bowed and said: "Back to Your Highness, two days ago, Zhu Zhu's order arrived in Yangzhou, asking Xue Lun to severely punish the rioters and deter the civilians of Yangzhou. ”

"What's the situation in Jiangdu now?" Guo Song asked again.

"Jiangdu has been under martial law, almost all restaurants have been forcibly closed, people are not allowed to gather, more than 10,000 people were arrested before, under the protection of Wang Jinian, each of them paid a ransom of three yuan and let them go home."

Guo Song walked a few steps and asked, "You seem to mention in the pigeon letter that Li Na also sent someone to Yangzhou?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, this is what Li Run, the chief secretary of Jiangdu, said, he has no definite evidence, but he personally thinks it is true."

Guo Song walked to the map and looked at Yangzhou on the map, the southernmost part of Li Na's power is Haizhou, which is actually separated from Yangzhou by a Chu Prefecture, if Li Na wants to send troops, he can first capture Chuzhou, followed by Yangzhou, it is not difficult for Li Na to capture Yangzhou, it seems that Li Na has also found an opportunity.

"What do you think?" Guo Song turned around and asked.

Li Bing bowed and said: "Your Highness, I have discussed with Wang Junshi, we agreed that now is a good opportunity to seize Yangzhou and Chuzhou, and now the people of Yangzhou have been surprisingly angry with Zhu Zhu, and our troops are undoubtedly in accordance with the will of heaven, and we will definitely be warmly welcomed by the people of Yangzhou, and the people of Yangzhou will naturally be attached, on the contrary, when the people of Yangzhou are eager for us, we have been slow to hold the troops, which will also make us lose the hearts of the people of Yangzhou, and the people of Yangzhou will even resent us, which is not conducive to our jurisdiction over Yangzhou in the future." ”

"Do you have any ideas for the advisor?" Guo Song asked Wang Yu again.

Wang Yu nodded and said: "The opinions of the lowly post and General Li are the same, but the lowly post also has to add that if Li Na wants to seize Yangzhou, he must also send a fleet to block the Huai River first, and then the army will go south, and our tactics should be the same, so we must rush to send troops first, and we can't let Li Na take the lead." ”

"Then what is the situation of Yangzhou's troops now?" Guo Song asked again.

Li Bing heard that the lord's tone was relaxed, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Zhu Zhu's troops in the five states of Huainan have 20,000 people, led by Xue Lun, the king of Guangling County, and there are also two thousand soldiers of the Meihuawei, the duty of the Meihuawei is to plunder the people's wealth, and there are two thousand soldiers in the salt field of Chuzhou.

Among them, 20,000 soldiers were stationed in Jiangdu, Chuzhou, Haozhou, Tuzhou and Hezhou did not have garrisons, and then Huaixi still had 30,000 troops, and Zhu Zhu had 50,000 troops in Jianghuai. ”

Guo Song nodded, "We make a plan and never encourage rigidity, everything is done step by step, that is not the way to use troops, I generally only clarify the direction, and then the specific way to fight is decided by the commander with the troops, so you want to attack Yangzhou in advance, as long as the reason is sufficient, I have no objection, the premise is that as long as you are fully prepared!" ”

Li Bing hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we have been preparing since five days ago, and we have basically made full preparations. ”

"Then tell me, are you going to fight at night, or during the day?"

Li Bing pondered for a moment and said: "The lowly has been training soldiers to fight at night, and I heard that Xue Lun is also training soldiers to fight at night, so I want to compete with him to see who trains better?" ”

"Alright! I don't interfere with your decisions, when are you going to send troops? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the lowly post has been prepared, the south wind is blowing on the river in the past two days, which is suitable for going north, and the lowly post has decided to send troops tonight!"

.........

Jiangyang County, the county seat close to the Yangtze River in the south of Jiangdu is Jiangyang County, Jiangyang County is a small county, the circumference of the city is only more than ten li, the population in the county is less than 1,000 households, there are 200 garrisons, in fact, the biggest role of Jiangyang County is the warning role, the soldiers in the city are responsible for monitoring the river, once they find the enemy situation on the other side, the soldiers will light the beacon at the head of the city to notify Jiangdu County ten miles away, to buy time for the Jiangdu defenders.

If you don't want to be discovered by Jiangdu, then you must take the lead in taking the Fengsui in Jiangyang County, and Li Bing deployed it as early as five days ago.

In the southeast corner of Jiangnan County, there is a mansion covering an area of 20 acres, which is the house of Li Run's family, and Li Run's father and brother live in this mansion.

The Li family is the head snake of Jiangdu, they are not merchants, but landlords, and they own two estates of nearly 100 hectares of land in Yangzhou, as well as a Yangtze River wharf.

In the past few days, nearly 300 young tenant farmers who are ready to participate in the autumn harvest have come to Li's Grange, all of whom live in the mansion of Li's mansion, which is not surprising, after the autumn harvest begins at the end of September every year, there will be a large number of tenant farmers transferred, and there will be tenant farmers in Jiangyang County to help in the Li Mansion before, but there are not so many people this time, and they will not all be young people.

The tenant farmer led by him was burly, strong, dark-skinned, and had a pair of leopard-like eyes, and everyone called him Zhou Dalang, in fact, he was Zhou Fei, the deputy commander of the Jin army's scout battalion.
