For his marriage, Pei Gai did think about it seriously. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

It is best to be the young lady of the Wang family in Langya, so that the suspicion of Director Wang and others can be avoided to a certain extent, and the prestige of the Wang family can be used. Who would have thought that Director Wang would be so open-faced, and he would refuse it outright, and most of the overseas Chinese would not dare to accept it because of this, should I have no choice but to retreat and marry the aborigines of Jiangdong?

Although the prestige of the indigenous people of Jiangdong is not high, many of them have considerable financial power, and even some local administrative power and even military power. But the problem is that through later history, we can know that most of the raccoon dogs have no foresight, so they will always be pressed by overseas Chinese, for fear that they should be on those pig teammates, and the hope of success is even slimmer. And Director Wang is suspicious of himself, at this time to throw an olive branch to Nan Raccoon Dog, that is really immortal and looking for death...... So he gradually dispelled this unrealistic idea.

I was going to delay it as long as I could, and I would talk about it in a few years, but I didn't expect Pei's to be so anxious and really go around to pick a daughter-in-law for himself...... In comparison, this Duch is a good choice. First of all, the Du family is quite noble, and it will not insult his identity as a descendant of the Pei family; Secondly, the Du family has no roots in Jiangnan, and Director Wang will not have any bad associations because of this marriage. What's more, he has a relationship with Du Yi, the young man is indeed handsome-it would be better if he was a little healthier-and according to Pei's words, his sister is quite Xiao and his brother, presumably he is also a beauty.

There are many kinds of male beauty, if it is really the kind of heroic young man who has a wide face, clear facial features, a horse on his arms, and eight abdominal muscles, it is estimated that the girl with "Xiao" may not be able to see it...... But like Du Yi's feminine appearance, I feel that I can pretend to be a beauty by directly changing my clothes-a natural pseudo-mother-even if his sister doesn't have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, at least she should be a middle-aged person.

I heard that Yu Liang also has a sister, if he also knows his brother, he rejected the Du family this time, and accidentally ended up with a Yu family in the future, so how can he be embarrassed? Yu Liang is not necessarily ugly, but he has a dead face all day long, as if everyone except Director Wang owes him money, if his wife is the same, then it is better to buy a piece of tofu and die early!

So Pei should have planned repeatedly, and finally decided - okay, since my aunt has spoken, then it is still the Du family's daughter, and there is no need to refuse.

"You can settle a family first, and then you should go to Xuzhou to establish a firm foothold, every one or two...... After three or four years, it is not too late to welcome him north to get married. ”

When Pei Shi heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "In this case, I will ask Wei Daoshu (Wei Zhan) to be the matchmaker and go to Nacai for the Qing!" ”

——————————

The engagement with Du Shi went quite well. In Mrs. Du's view, it was to strengthen the ties between the Pei and Du families, so as to enhance their status in the family; And for Du Yi, after crossing the river, the family business has withered away, and now the biggest backer Wang Cheng has also fallen, so through the marriage with the Pei family, it is really an opportunity to get to the East China Sea Palace, which is really an opportunity that cannot be sought, so naturally everything is allowed, and he does not even dare to ask for too much dowry.

However, the Du family refused to wait too long, and Du Yi proposed that at most two years, he would send his sister to Huainan to complete the marriage - "Emperor Shizuwu once had an edict: 'If the parents of the seventeenth year of the girl do not marry, the elder will be matched.'" 'How dare you disobey?' ”

Pei Caixin can say it, it is just a temporary measure to enrich the population at the time of the chaos, similar to the edict that stipulates the upper limit of the marriage age, which has been promulgated in all dynasties, generally for a maximum of ten years, and no one will pay attention to it when it is over, how can it be used as a reason? Besides, with Du's family background, even if he violates the law, what blind chief would dare to take care of it?

Thinking about it, it is just because the engagement itself has no legal effect, and tearing up the marriage contract is also a common thing in these years, and it will not even cause ridicule in Shilin, so Du Yi is afraid that the time will drag on for a long time, and the Pei family does not want his sister, which will not only delay his sister's youth, but also affect his own promotion.

Therefore, for Du's request, Pei Gai repeatedly promised, saying that when the girl was sixteen years old at the latest, he would send someone to greet him. In fact, in my heart, I will go hundreds of miles, and when the time comes, I will pretend to forget the deadline, and if you have the ability, you will personally go to Huainan to urge. Let's just say that the situation in Xu Fang is still unstable, and it may be attacked by the enemy at any time, and the Du family girl is afraid that her life will be in danger when she goes north - if the girl is really brave and fat, not afraid of death, and wants to follow me, then I admit it!

It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a brave mother.

He ran to discuss with Director Wang, and asked Pei to send a letter to Sima Rui, giving up the position of the king of the East China Sea to his future brother-in-law Du Yi. Then everything was ready to stop, Pei Gai went with Zu Ti to pay homage to Sima Rui, and then left Jianye with his subordinates, first along the river to the east, and arrived at Jingkou. Pei should bring it with him, mainly the fourteen subordinates led by Zhen Sui, and two young house slaves - one named Pei Lian, and the other named Pei Du, which is easier to remember, but unfortunately the house slave can't be called Pei Yan......

The main purpose of his trip was to farm the land and manage the logistics for Zu Li, so naturally he couldn't go without a few scribes, but it was a pity that Jiangdong was either called into the "Hundred and Six Peng" by Sima Rui, or he was talented and brave, and no one was willing to go to Jiangbei with him. Pei should look for people everywhere to ask and ask for recommendations, and in the end, he only summoned three nameless small characters.

One of them is Wei Xunwei who has been seen on Zhoushan Mountain, because he really has no future in Jiangdong, and he can't get the official to do how to shoot He Xun and He Yu's sycophants, so he plans to follow Pei Cai to Jiangbei to collide with luck. In Wei Xun's mind, it is unlikely that Pei Gai, a noble son, will be in danger, so as long as he follows him closely, he will not encounter any danger, the big deal is that he was beaten back to Jiangdong, it is not easy to see me before and after the saddle, at least I will report to the princess of the East China Sea, give me a palace official to do.

The second staff member is also a southerner, and he is the concubine of Wucheng County, Wuxing County. The surname Concubine is very ancient, but it has gradually diverged, Chen, Hu, and Tian are all big surnames, but there are very few people who still have the surname Concubine. Pei Gai has naturally heard of this surname, there was a concubine in Eastern Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he also killed Sun Quan's own brother Sun Yi and cousin Sun He - but the history books seem to record that he was punished by Sun Quan's clan, will there be any fish that slip through the net?

The concubine family is also one of the top landowners in Wucheng County, but it is not famous in the Jiangdong gentry group. Although Fei Sheng is full of ambitions, in Pei Gai's analysis, he also wants to follow himself to hit the luck - anyway, this kind of family has no political capital, it is considered a proletariat in politics, and what it loses is only the chain (the chain of the family level), and what it will gain will be...... is an official and a half-job, so he dares to take risks.

The third staff, Pei Gai is relatively more important, because he is from the Runan Zhou clan of the overseas Chinese family - the surname Zhou is named Zifeng. Zhou Zhu is the grandson of Zhou Yi and is considered a sparse clan, so even if Zhou Yi is a figure who can be squeezed into the top ten among overseas Chinese, his light will definitely not be able to shroud Zhou Zhu's head, and Zhou Zhu can only try to struggle by himself. Zhou Zhu is different from Wei Xun and Fei Sheng, not only is he not good at words, but he even stutters when he is nervous...... Pei should not help but think: If you have the level of Deng Ai Yicheng, I can be regarded as picking up a treasure, but the mule is a horse, and I have to take it to Jiangbei for a walk first.

After the group met Zu Li's clan at Jingkou, they took a small boat and crossed the Yangtze River. Zu Ti and Pei should be in the same boat, Zu Yue did not come with him - Zu Ti said that although his brother seems to be brave, he has no talent for the emperor, and he is likely to end up with the word "death" in the troubled times, so it is better to stay with Jiangdong honestly. Although Pei Gai didn't have much contact with Zu Yue, after all, he roughly knew his deeds in his previous life, and he thought about it, but at the same time, he also thought: Do you think that you may die in Jiangbei, so you want to leave your brother behind and leave a seed for the ancestral family, right?

Because Zu Ti was hot-headed, he took his wife Liu and his only son Zu Lian, who was only fourteen years old, with him - although his brother Zu Na was still alive, he was not a fellow mother after all.

Pei and Zu sat on the bow of the boat side by side, seeing the river surging and flowing endlessly, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their chests, and they were full of pride. Especially Pei Gai, since the crossing, he has never been in such a comfortable mood, as if the sun is much brighter than usual.

After all, the previous life was a peaceful world, even if there are still all kinds of dark sides in society, but a small civil servant in a big city like him often hears a lot and sees not much, and his mentality is relatively peaceful. This crossing was different, throwing him directly into the most chaotic period in history, and even the most tragic battle array, as soon as he remembered the great division and turmoil in the next few hundred years, he naturally had the idea of dying again.

How can anyone in the world be born without fear of death? Only when you feel that life is more pathetic than death, then you dare to face death with your head held high - Pei Gai, who directly reprimanded Shile at the beginning, thought exactly that.

However, several times I wanted to die but couldn't, and the ** of survival was growing up more and more, and not only that, Pei Gai gradually felt that he was inexplicably crossing and must make a difference. Is the future dark? Then I will go and light a torch, even if it is not too far away, after all, I can make the latecomers see a little bit of the road under their feet - only in this way, this life will not be wasted!

However, as far as the eye can see, there is only war, only killing, if this temporary war and killing can lead to peace and stability, the problem is very clear, at least for a hundred years, there is no hope for peace in Jiangbei. Then the hardships of the south crossing, all he saw was drunken dreams and death, holding on to the disabled, although Pei Gai's spirit was relaxed, but his mood was not relieved in the slightest.

Fortunately, all this has passed, and he finally got out of the endless entanglement and was able to cross the Yangtze River with the world's first-class heroes in an attempt to recover. Pei Gai felt like a carp, he had been wrapped up in the tide of history before, and everything was difficult to understand, so he could only let the wind blow and the waves; It was only at this moment that the carp flicked its tail violently, jumped onto the dragon gate, and since then it has soared away, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and it is allowed to soar!

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but have bright eyes and be full of joy. However, at this time, Zu Ti beside him suddenly stood up with a flick of his legs, and reached out to ask for the oars from the part who was rowing, Pei Gai of course knew what he wanted to do, and hurriedly said: "I should swear with Zu Jun!" ”

Zu Yi glanced at Pei Gai: "Oh, what does Wen Yue want to swear?" ”

Pei Cai raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly: "Now I should go north with Zujun, if I can't clear the Central Plains, I will not cross the river and return to the south!" ”

Zu Ti was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and laughed "haha": "Those who know me, Wenyue is also - this is exactly what I want!" Pei Gaixin said of course, the story of Zu Shizhi's "middle-class hit", I heard it in my previous life before I was an adult, and now that I am wearing it, I can't let you enjoy the reputation alone-I also want to make a part!

However, the boat shook so badly that he was forced to hold on to the side of the ship with one hand, so that he could not hold the bow of the boat as firmly as Zu Ti, and he could still drop the oar and hit it...... So, you stand, I sit, you hold the pulp, I'm empty-handed, let's just say it together—

"The sky is above, if I Pei Gai (Zu Ti) can't clear the Central Plains, and dare to restore this river, it will be like a big river!" How about a river? It's like a big river, and you can't go back, only death!

The strong wind on the river swept the water vapor in his face, and the oath was instantly left behind and spread far away. I heard everyone in the boat respond and call one after another, and then there are people in the boat behind shouting - it seems that there is also the sound of Wei Xun mixed in? His tone is more distinctive......

——————————

Pei Gai and Zu Ti crossed north from Jingkou and soon arrived in Jiangdu, where Li Ju, Feng Tie, and two thousand trilogies were waiting for them.

The only people who followed Zu Ti to the north were his original dozens of subordinates—all veterans of a hundred battles—and in addition, the family members and dependents added up to only more than a hundred families, four or five hundred people, which was really difficult to achieve. But if you can add those 2,000 soldiers, you should be able to barely gain a foothold in the two counties of Guangling and Linhuai.

Of course, Zu Shizhi's goal is not Xu Fang, his heart is in Yanyu, and then he wants to enter Heluo through Yanyu and recover the old capital, if he can contact Liu Kun at that time, and advance north and south, even if the Pingyang regime is overthrown within a year or two, it is not a utopia. It's just that the current situation in Yan and Henan Prefecture is very complicated, even if Shile has already advanced eastward, and there is no strong armed force of more than 10,000 people left in the local area, but two or three thousand or even seven or eight thousand people of the displaced people's group, landlord Wubao, and Hu army are everywhere, and under the premise that they do not have an armed force sufficient to win a decisive victory in the plains, taking Yanyu directly is tantamount to self-inflicted death.

That's why Pei should use the excuse to calm Huainan and take Zu Ti to Xuzhou first. The same is true in the original history, after Zu Shizhi only led more than 100 relatives and tribes to cross the river, he first built equipment and recruited troops and horses in Guangling County, until he pulled up a team of more than 2,000 people, and then dared to continue to go west.

And on this timeline, there is no need for him to pull, there are already 2,000 people, the question is whether they can fight, and we have to wait until we see it first. The result of Pei Cai's discussion with him is that we will pull these two thousand men to occupy the two counties of Guangling and Linhuai first-of course, the place is vast, and it is difficult to divide the soldiers and horses in each place, so we only need to occupy one or two central cities-and then I will stay and farm, and you will lead half of the troops to the west.

But when it came time to receive the 2,000 people, Zu Ti shook his head again and again, showing regret on his face......
