Because of the rush of the wedding date and the rush of the journey, Chen Juren stopped in Jinling for two days and then set off for the return journey, accompanied by 10,000 guards from Shuijin and Shuijin.

As the third marshal under the command of the Chuzhou Army, and the expansion of the army again and again, Shuijin's direct subordinate soldiers and horses have reached 70,000 or 80,000, and because he loves to charge on the battlefield, he is not willing to sit in the rear, and the personal guard battalion has 10,000 people.

Even if you know that the third disciple will not be short-sighted and plot to harm Shui Jin, you must prevent others from calculating.

10,000 guards accompanied by the escort is a guarantee for the safety of water inflow.

According to Huo Wu's original intention, even if he brought tens of thousands of horses over, there was nothing.

Or Shui Jin felt that there was no need to mobilize the troops, and in Chuzhou and Yangzhou, which are at the junction of the Chuzhou Army and the Bozhou Army, tens of thousands of horses were stationed.

When everyone got on the boat of the sailor building, looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses accompanying them, Chen Juren could only smile bitterly.

Since Uncle Fang's conspiracy to assassinate Huo Bao and kill Huo Wutang's nephew Huo Bao, the Chuzhou army is no longer as friendly as before.

Although the two sides are still moving, both sides are on guard.

But who is to blame?

Although Chen Juren was not optimistic about the Bozhou Army in his heart, he was also somewhat sure of the relationship between the two parties.

Even if there is no hope of fighting for the world, with Huo Wu's brother-in-law and Huo Bao's nephew, it will be impossible to say that they will be princes in the future.

Right now, it's bottomless.

The third disciple has the ambition to compete for the world, how can he really be willing to live under others?

Even if he sincerely surrendered, and there were unkind and unrighteous deeds in front of him, could the Huo father and son accept it without guilt?

Moreover, there are a lot of martial arts under the command of the Bozhou Army, and these people will not be willing to give up the banner of the Bozhou Army for the sake of glory and wealth.

The generals and generals of the Chuzhou Army have worked hard to fight for their territory, and they will not be willing to let the disciples come to get a piece of the pie.

In the future, the two armies will always have to fight, but the Chen family and their ancestral land are in Binjiang.

On the shore, Huo Bao and Niu Qing came to see them off, watching the fleet go away.

Niu Qing thought about the distance in his heart, and said: "Shui Shuai said that he wanted to go back to Quyang, but he should be out of time before the year, and most of them will have to ......go back."

Huo Bao nodded and said, "It should be ...... in the first month."

Shui Jin was born in a peasant family, and when he was a teenager, his parents died, and he became an orphan.

Although at that time, he was mostly looking for food in his own fields, but he also received relief from the villagers and grew up.

Now that Huainan is under the rule of the Chuzhou army, there is no war for the time being, and Shui Jin will also return to Quyang to worship his parents and repay the villagers.

***

After sending Shui Jin and his party away, the atmosphere of the New Year in Jinling City became more and more intense.

The surrounding provinces of Taiwei Mansion cannot be said to be full of traffic, but also full of visitors.

The relatives of the Huo family, the generals in the army, the local palm prints, and the gentry in the state capitals all have to go to Jinling.

Huo Wu is nominally a "Tai Lieutenant", but in fact he is already the master of one party.

New Year's gifts and filial piety are indispensable.

Glory and wealth, who doesn't want it?

In addition, there are many free people in the wax moon, and there are more families who marry women and daughters.

Huo Wu has no brothers, only one son, and the younger generations of the clan should also be married, and it is not easy to cling to them.

The second-class, Deng, Ma, Feng, Shui, Lin and others are also not easy to climb, but there is a door, which is easier to enter.

However, there is one that has attracted the eyes of many people.

It's not someone else's house, it's Xue Biao's Xue Mansion.

Xue Biao has returned from Hangzhou, and he has also made meritorious contributions when he fought Hangzhou before.

Not to mention the gentry in other places, just to talk about the old households in Jinling, there are many guests who were his guests in the early years.

In March last year, he was embezzled and left Jinling, which can be regarded as seeing the hot and cold world.

The people who have interacted with each other, some of whom have been implicated like the Jia brothers, are more of those who are wise and self-conscious and indifferent.

When he returned to his hometown in October, Xue Biao was a little disdainful of those "old" and didn't like to take care of them.

However, after this year, he also saw some doorways, Huo Wu and Ma Lao Liu, two chicken thieves, did not let him get involved in military power, and guarded him everywhere.

Whether it is the previous head of the sect or the current financial director, they are all in vain.

It can't compare to Deng Jian, Monk Feng, Shui Jin, these generals, and it can't compare to the master of Ma Village, Master Lin and others.

Xue Biao was in a hurry, and it was inevitable that he would make a small calculation, so he had the move of sending his adopted son to the Scout, and wanted to start from Huo Bao's side, but the result was also unsatisfactory.

Xue Biao thought carefully for a few days, needless to say, the master of Ma Zhai and Du Laoba, in addition to Huo Wu's brother, there were also old subordinates on the black python.

Deng Jian and Monk Feng have their own lineage.

Deng Jian is a Quyang soldier here, and Monk Feng is a monk soldier here.

Shui Jin is beside him, and he is mainly the son of Yongyang, who seems to be the weakest among the marshals, but in fact, it is not.

You must know that Yongyang, as the capital of Chuzhou, has the most gentry families, and it is also the place where the Chuzhou army made its fortune, and many civil and military officials have been selected.

Shui Jin is surrounded by mostly military generals, but he is also of the same origin as the civil officials of Yongyang.

In the Chuzhou army, it is divided into civil and military forces, and it is also divided into regions.

But Jinling ......

Jinling is his territory!

The Jia family is the in-law of the Xue family, leaving the Shi family and the Wang family......

In his early years, he also had contacts with the Xue family.

Now, it's time to get back to business.

Xue Biao's identity is here, if he really wants to put down the shelf to socialize, others will really never return.

By the time of the Chinese New Year, not only the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family had reached a higher level, but the Shi family and the Wang family were also connected.

The New Year was originally a treat to eat and drink, and when the Taiwei Mansion got the news, the Xue family, the Shi family, and the Wang family had married.

Xue Biao begged to marry the daughter of the Shi family for his adopted son Xue Xiao, but Master Shi did not have a granddaughter of suitable marriage age, so he promised a niece and granddaughter.

Xue Biao's identity is here, even if Master Shi has scruples, it is not easy to refuse.

On the Wang family's side, the credit is not comparable to that of the Jia and Shi families, but it is because of the old family in Jinling that they are camping in the Chuzhou army.

Although Xue Biao is not as good as several other powerful marshals in the Chuzhou army, he is already a "thick thigh" for the Wang family.

The Wang family was reluctant to show their face, and the head of the family directly sent his cousin to Xue Biao as a concubine.

Whether it is the marriage of an adopted son or the joy of taking a concubine, the Xue Mansion has set up wine.

Huo Bao followed his father for a while, and as soon as the father and son moved, the people from the other marshals' mansions had to follow suit.

The banquet in Xue's Mansion was very decent.

Not to mention how happy the Wang family is, that is, Master Shi sees it in his eyes, and he also values the in-laws of the Xue family a little more.

It's Huo Bao here, because of these marriages, I think of the "four families".

Before, he also wondered in his heart, now that his father is opening a mansion in Nanjing, and all the handsomes are there, why the "four major families" will come up, and now he understands it.

The ancients had a lot of nostalgia, and this township is the place of origin, not the place of life.

The handsomes are strong, but except for Monk Feng and Du Laoba, everyone else is from Chuzhou.

The generals in the army, in addition to the Chuzhou people, are also mostly Huainan people.

Among the people from Jinling, these families are revealed.

"Uncle Seventh is like this, is it okay?"

In private, Huo Bao talked to his father.

Huo Wu raised his eyebrows: "The Jia brothers and Shi Jin are both understanding people...... It's just a virtual excitement, don't worry about it......"
