There was a lot of talk between the kings and ministers until the rooster crowed and the dawn broke in the east.

Fang Jun told His Majesty Li Er in detail about his strategic ideas for Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and the Wa Kingdom, and His Majesty Li Er was excited and full of praise when he heard it.

Then he ordered someone to prepare breakfast, and the monarch and ministers used it together, and specially told Fang Jun not to come to the palace to resign, and to quickly go south to control the water master.

After sending off the emperor who was in a hundred times the spirit of talking all night, and bidding farewell to the prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Wu, Fang Jun returned home, washed up, said goodbye to his mother, wife and concubine, and hugged his son for a while.

Fangjiawan wharf in the south of the city, there are already the warships of the sailors waiting here, Fang Jun and others abandon the horses to board the ship, the warships raise their sails, go down the water, enter the Weishui and sail out of Tongguan, run down the Yellow River, turn south into the Tongji Canal to Luokou, and then enter the ditch, and reach the Jiangdu.

The autumn breeze in Guanzhong is bleak and the grass and trees are withering, the south of the Yangtze River is still in the early autumn season, after a few autumn rains, the weather is cool, the mountains and forests are dyed with light yellow, the river water is clear and clear, and the mountain flowers are splendid.

*****

When Fang Jun's warship entered the Yangtze River, Pei Xingjian led more than ten warships to respond.

Boarding Pei Xingjian's big boat, all the soldiers on board respectfully saluted, Fang Jun smiled and encouraged them one by one.

For this sailor created by him, almost every soldier and general has great respect for Fang Jun, even the slave generals who were originally abandoned by the Guanzhong family as a tool to make money, and then became the backbone of the sailor, are inexplicably grateful to Fang Jun.

Pei Xingjian welcomed Fang Jun into the cabin and said: "Before coming here, the last general had already received invitations from the major families in Jiangnan, saying that a banquet had been prepared in Suzhou City to wash the dust for the Hou Ye. I don't know what Master Hou thinks? ”

Officialdom ushered in the send-off, wine banquets and entertainment are indispensable, both ancient and modern.

Fang Jun didn't want to see those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't want to die from now on, nodded and said: "Then go ashore in Suzhou City and go to meet these wealthy families entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a while." There is no good banquet, and the official will see what kind of tricks they have to play with these insatiable people who have no family and no country in their eyes. ”

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "What means are there to play?" These people think that Jiangnan is their land, and their minds are all about drilling, always thinking about finding loopholes in the imperial court, harming the public and enriching their private interests, but they don't know that all their actions that they think are gods and ghosts are already in the hands of the sailors, but they are complacent, which is really ridiculous. ”

Fang Jun glanced at him and reminded: "These people have been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, and they have long been entrenched in the entanglement of forces, after all, we are crossing the river, beware of carelessness and loss of Jingzhou, calm down steadily, and do not give them any opportunity to take advantage of, the same is true for Annan and Lin Yiguo." ”

Pei Xingjian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

After Fang Jun's reminder, Pei Xingjian was simply shocked!

In view of the smooth implementation of the strategy of Annan and Linyi, a prosperous and rich land in Nuoda is under the control of the sailor, and the hidden dangers have been eliminated, and the next hundred years will not be in danger of elbows and armpits, and the Linyi State is to support the puppets to strengthen control, except for the fact that it has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it has been no different from the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the new King of Linyi Zhuge relied on the support of the Tang Dynasty to ascend to the throne, slaughtered the Fan royal family, and hugged the thighs of the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly.

The wealthy family in Jiangnan was even more compromised under Fang Jun's repeated suppression, even if there was a slight change in secret, it was all within the control of the water master.

Smooth, breed the mood of underestimating the enemy.

And underestimating the enemy is often the biggest way to death......

Fang Jun nodded in satisfaction.

Pei Xingjian was born in a family, he has been a gentleman since he was a child, he was unruly when he was young, and he also made a lot of ridiculous things in the countryside, but after entering the office, he was able to be conscientious and diligent in official duties, and the most important thing is to be able to reflect on his own shortcomings from time to time, which is really commendable.

Half an hour later, a group of warships slowly docked in Haiyu Town, anchored and lowered their sails.

This time, Suzhou Assassin Shi Mu Yuanzuo did not come, Fang Jun had already sent a letter to Mu Yuanzuo, ordering him to keep his job safely, and there was no need to be too intimate, yes, at this moment, the people who came up from the dock to greet them were all family members of the Jiangnan Hao clan or important people in the clan, although many people also had official positions, but not in the name of officialdom.

This is a private gathering, a way for the Jiangnan wealthy to express their goodwill.

Of course, it is not known whether it is good or bad......

The leader is naturally the Xiao clansman who is now the head of the wealthy clan in Jiangnan, but Fang Jun never expected that it would be Xiao Jing, the patriarch of the Xiao clan......

Although he does not want to see the Xiao family, in the face of Xiao Jing, an old man who is in charge of the Xiao family in Lanling, Fang Jun must also be respected.

"How can this official dare to come in person, he is really frightened."

Fang Jun stepped forward, although he claimed to be an official, he was really a gift for his juniors.

Xiao Jing had a long haircut that was snow-white and neat, his smile was quite kind, he stepped forward and took Fang Jun's hand, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is young and promising, he is really the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, this time I came to Jiangnan, and I want to see the style of you turning your hands for the clouds and covering your hands for the rain. It is said that the Hou Ye has a bad temper and is old, but he should not be frightened. ”

It's a casual statement, but the meaning is intriguing.

In the final analysis, Fang Jun's tough style in the past really left too deep an impression on these Jiangnan wealthy families, and there were too many fears, even if Xiao Jing was a character like Xiao Jing who had to tremble when he stomped his feet in Jiangnan, he had to deal with it carefully, and he was absolutely unwilling to tear his face with Fang Jun......

Many representatives of the wealthy families in Jiangnan who were surrounded by Xiao Jing on the side all showed smiling faces and echoed one after another.

Fang Jun smiled and nodded his head to salute, although he was not arrogant, but the perseverance he had exercised in his previous life and the temperament tempered in a high position stood out from the crowd and was dazzling.

His gaze swept over the faces of the people in front of him one by one, but he found an interesting phenomenon—none of these people had dealt with him before......

Even if you have many children of the family and many outstanding people, isn't this too deliberate?

He wanted to break his hand out of Xiao Jing's hand, and he used a slight force, but found that the old guy was holding it very tightly and didn't twitch...... I had no choice but to get into a carriage hand in hand, and a large group of people hurled towards the best restaurant in town.

In the car, Fang Jun asked: "I heard that Song Guogong returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, why did your old man wander around?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly.

This kid is not only resolute, but even the way he speaks is not in a regular way, which is extremely difficult to deal with......

A sentence that sounds like a casual sentence, if you think about it, it is quite meaningful.

The ancestors of the Lanling Xiao family are the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, and they have been emperors from generation to generation, although they have never dominated the world in a corner of peace, but after all, they are righteous emperors, and they are a trace that will never be erased in Chinese history.

Now the Xiao family's fanfare to worship their ancestors, if it is replaced by a mean and suspicious emperor, it is inevitable to doubt whether he has the heart of restoration, if he encounters two traitors and slanders, there is no doubt that it will be a turmoil......

However, if the humble one says that this ancestor worship is not important, then Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guo, put aside the general's state affairs and have to take leave to return to his hometown to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony, and he is suspected of putting family affairs above state affairs.

Xiao Jing was old and spicy after all, and said with a smile: "The ancestor worship was completed two days ago, and Song Guogong heard that Fang Xiang was in Huating Town, so he personally went to visit him yesterday. In the past, although the two of them were officials in the same dynasty, they had never been close, and now they can meet in such a splendid place as Jiangnan, how can they not take the opportunity to get close? It's just that Song Guogong is old and frail, and this time he went south to the boat and car, and presided over the ancestor worship and hard work, and when he arrived in Huating Town, he was bedridden, and wrote to the old man as soon as possible, saying that he had to stay in Huating Town for a few more days. Speaking of which, the old man has to be grateful for the care of the house, and the friendship between you and me should be preserved by the times. ”

Jumping from the big hole between Fang Jun's words lightly, he also directly pointed out that the relationship between the two of us is not ordinary, Xiao Yu has gone to visit your father......

Fang Jun didn't have any expression on his face, but he was beating a drum in his heart.

Although Daddy Fang Xuanling has first-class political wisdom, his character is docile and soft-faced, which is a shortcoming. It can be seen from Daddy's governing program that he has never advocated a drastic way of governing, but has adopted gentle means to balance the interests of all parties as much as possible, and build the empire into a harmonious world full of flowers.

Xiao Yu rushed to Huating Town to meet his father, could it be that he wanted to reach some kind of agreement with his father in order to get his own preferential treatment?

His mind was turning, and he said: "The Lanling Xiao clan has been a hairpin for generations, and it is a wealthy family for generations, my father and son are just a small gentry clan in the countryside of Qizhou, how dare they take on the friendship of the Lanling Xiao clan?" The old man laughed. ”

Xiao Yu didn't seem to be able to hear the unkindness in Fang Jun's words, smiled more and more kindly, and said: "The relationship between people needs to be managed, father and son siblings can turn against each other, and people on the side of the road can also form alliances...... Jiro said this a little early. ”

Fang Jun "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly felt bad......
