Chapter Ninety-Eight: Supporting the Coffin to the South

Although she has changed her words to "Brother Yongxi" and has not denied her promise to make a personal promise, Mrs. Xing still has many unrealistic illusions about the court and the future, so she will make up her mind to return to Xuzhou.

And as she said, Gao Jie's family background is seven or eight times out of ten left in Xuzhou, no matter what Mrs. Xing should do next, she must rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible to receive these family funds before she can get married.

Now she is not only Gao Jie's surviving person, but also the mother of a young son, and she also has too many people's expectations, how can she completely hand over the family wealth left by herself and Gao Jie to this little sincere uncle.

Liu Yongxi can understand Mrs. Xing's thoughts, and also knows that Mrs. Xing still has certain illusions about Shi Kefa and the imperial court, hoping that they can contain Li Benshen, a wolf and a tiger, and may even include himself, a little sincere man who tries to gain both people and money, but this is destined to be a bamboo basket for nothing.

Therefore, Liu Yongxi smiled brightly: "According to my sister's arrangement, I immediately asked Zhang Boyang, who stayed in Linhuai, to immediately give up Linhuai Pass and move to Xuzhou, and I will always take care of my sister." ”

Mrs. Xing didn't expect that Liu Yongxi didn't even want the territory of Linhuai Town, and directly gave up Linhuai Pass and moved the whole army to Xuzhou, although she knew that Liu Yongxi did this to eat and wipe his whole person clean, but she was still very moved: "Thank you Brother Yongxi, then we must speed up!"

She deliberately raised the issue of Suizhou's ransom fee before, hoping that Li Benshen, who was the strongest, would stay because of Suizhou's fat.

Although Li Benshen got the name of "temporarily commanding the whole army", Mrs. Xing directly took away all the family money left by Gao Jie with the support of Liu Yongxi, but Li Benshen could only sing about the empty city plan.

And since Li Benshen has such a name of commanding the whole army, he must satisfy the more and more difficult desires of the whole army, and if he can't meet the higher and higher expectations of his subordinates, he, the commander, will die without a place to be buried.

Everyone can temporarily tolerate Gao Jie taking them on the Northern Expedition in the cold wind, and naturally they are looking forward to being able to shadow their wives and sons.

And Li Benshen does not have the same prestige as Gao Jie, and everyone's expectations for him are very limited, and they only want real money, so if he makes a slight mistake, the angry arrogant soldiers will destroy him, so he can only pin all his hopes on Yuan Shu and the officials and people of Suizhou, and is ready to knock on the bones and suck the marrow to squeeze out more oil and water.

Now Li Benshen has obtained a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and even forced the officials and people of Suizhou to take the initiative to let the Qinglou woman work in the army, but this is still far from his expectations, so he is ready to continue to press hard, but no matter how it knocks the bone and sucks the marrow, it will take time, and this is the real purpose of Mrs. Xing's special mention of the ransom fee.

Since Liu Yongxi was willing to let Linhuai Town give up the Linhuai Pass territory and move to Xuzhou, Mrs. Xing naturally ordered the army to return south to Xuzhou as soon as possible.

When Liu Yongxi went north, he only brought 3,700 men and horses, but this time he went south with 7,000 people and a large amount of luggage.

It is precisely because Mrs. Xing and Liu Yongxi are strong and strong, whether it is Li Benshen, Guo Hu or other generals, they have no objection to Mrs. Xing taking the lead in supporting the coffin to the south.

But Li Xiangjun is still a little unsatisfied, she feels that although Liu Yongxi has gained a lot from going north this time, it is a great pity that he failed to incorporate Gao Jie's whole army, Gao Jiajun invested 20,000 troops in the Northern Expedition, and now there are only 3,300 to 3,400 people who are going south with Mrs. Xing, accounting for only 106 to 107 of the whole army.

If Liu Yongxi put down the foundation of Linhuai Pass during the Northern Expedition this time, the whole army would be dispatched, and he might be able to incorporate Gao Jie's whole army.

If Liu Yongxi takes over Gao Jie's entire army, then his strength will inevitably surpass the four towns in Jiangbei, and he can do almost whatever he wants.

But Liu Yongxi's view is completely different from Li Xiangjun's view: "Now is the best result, Sister Xiangjun, don't you think that Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Li Chengdong, and Yang Chengzu are all tigers and wolves, and their incorporation will do us all harm but not benefit!"

Although he didn't agree with Liu Yongxi's plan, Li Xiangjun also had to admit that Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu, Li Chengdong and even Gao Jie's righteous son Gao Jinku were not good people, and they all wanted to swallow Mrs. Xing, even Gao Jie couldn't tame these arrogant soldiers, not to mention Liu Yongxi, who belonged to outsiders completely in their eyes.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangjun had to admire Mrs. Xing, at that time, she was pulling out a sword with one hand and holding Xu Dingguo's head in the other hand to question the generals of the high camp, and she pressed these lawless generals and didn't dare to raise her head at all, this is the real husband of the middle school.

But even Mrs. Xing knew that these arrogant soldiers had always been lawless, and there would definitely be problems after a long time, so she could only forcibly suppress them by temporarily joining forces with Li Benshen, and took the family money left by Gao Jie to support the coffin to the south as soon as possible.

Of course, what Li Xiangjun admires the most is Liu Yongxi, at first she thought that Liu Yongxi's full support for Gao Jie was a big failure, and even prepared to go back to Nanjing after the matter was over, but no one expected that Liu Yongxi would be able to gain both people and money in the end, and become Gao Jie's biggest beneficiary of the Northern Expedition.

It's just that everything seems to be a little too coincidental, although she knows that Liu Yongxi is a descendant of Uncle Sincerity, she may have learned the divination skills of Uncle Liu Bowen of Sincerity, and she has also heard Jin'er say that Xiao Sincerity Uncle has no last resort, and she has never missed since Nandu, but she always feels that all this is too incredible and too coincidental.

She even suspected that Gao Jie's death was inseparable from Liu Yongxi, but no matter what, Liu Yongxi's actual troops were only 3,000 people, even if Xing Shengping's 700 people were added, it was only 37,000 people, but now there were 3,400 people in Gao Jie's old department who followed Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing to the south alone, and there were countless gold, silver, fine, soft, mules, horses, guns, and cannons, which can be said to be an unprecedented amazing return.

Compared with the current return, the small investment in the early stage made her feel that it was a joy to meet Liu Yongxi.

Moreover, Xuzhou still has the family business left by Xingping Bo Gaojie waiting for Liu Yongxi to take over in the past, if Liu Yongxi can wipe these family funds together with Mrs. Xing, I am afraid that the four towns in Jiangbei will become the five towns in Jiangbei.

Liu Yongxi also continued: "In fact, the current situation is the best ending, and the essence of Xingpingbo's family background is not these proud soldiers, but the family foundation he left behind!"

Li Xiangjun felt that what Liu Yongxi said did have some truth, compared with Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu, Li Chengdong and other proud soldiers, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing's hard-earned family business is the essence.
