Chapter 31: The Jiangnan Uprising
After the two men had agreed, they were to begin the transfer of troops. However, the opening of 10,000 troops is a trivial matter, and the cost of purchasing military rations and purchasing military horses is quite huge.
Just when Xiang Wuji was worried about this, Liu Chengzhi laughed and said: "Brother Wuji doesn't need to worry, and wait for me to think of something outside!"
Liu Chengzhi walked out of his residence, took out his cloak and put it on his body, then turned to the right, walked a few blocks, but came to a place.
It turned out that Liu Chengzhi was stationed in Qinyang City last time, and he had already figured out the path in the city and knew that there was a branch of Lingdong Qianzhuang in Qinyang City.
When he came to the front desk of the bank, a maid came to entertain him, and the maid asked, "Sir, I don't know what service you need?"
Liu Chengzhi didn't say much, took out the fuchsia card in his hand and lit up.
The maid's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said: "I don't know if your guests have arrived, I will miss the welcome! Please go to the inner hall and sit down, and I will call the person in charge over immediately!"
Liu Chengzhi followed the maid to the inner hall, the decoration of Lingdong Qianzhuang was still so luxurious, and the maid immediately gave Chengzhi the best Longshan clouds.
Liu Chengzhi sat in the host and guest seats, drinking tea and waiting patiently.
After about a stick of incense, a burst of heart-stopping laughter sounded, and a stunning beauty came over.
Liu Chengzhi took a closer look, but it was an old acquaintance Qin Fei, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Qin Fei glanced at Liu Chengzhi, immediately recognized it, and laughed a few times: "Where did I come from, it turned out to be you! I don't know if I should call you 'Mr. Liu' or should I call you the second son?"
Liu Chengzhi couldn't help but wonder: "The girl has good eyesight, I don't know how you recognized me?"
Qin Fei said: "Second son, although my mental strength is not as good as yours, I can still do it without forgetting." ”
He sighed again and said, "Besides, your peerless talent, how can it be so easy for people to forget!"
Liu Chengzhi said: "I hope the girl can keep a secret for me!"
Qin Fei said with a smile: "For Lingdong Qianzhuang, keeping secrets for customers is also part of the business, and the second son can rest assured!"
Liu Chengzhi said curiously: "How did you come to Qinyang City?"
Qin Fei said: "Now that the situation has changed greatly, Qinyang City is the focus, Shangfeng sent me here, there is a intention to cultivate me!"
"I just don't know why the second son came over today?"
Liu Chengzhi said: "I want to take out all the three million and twenty thousand taels of gold in my card, I will be of great use in the near future, of course, I also hope that Guiqian Zhuang can keep this matter secret!"
Qin Fei smiled and said, "Childe, don't worry!"
After a pause, he said, "Childe may be interested in the information I give you below!"
Liu Chengzhi asked, "What information?"
Qin Fei said: "Recently, the officers and soldiers in Qinyang City have been frequently adjusted, and Geshu Wuji is going to give up all Qinyang City and hand it over to Shu Han to take over!"
When Liu Chengzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Brother Shu Wuji, the court treats you well, but you have done such a traitorous thing!"
Qin Fei continued: "Childe, this half month may be the time when Qinyang City's defense is the most lax, so transfer the troops and horses as soon as possible!"
It turned out that Qin Fei Bingxue was smart and had already guessed the cause and effect.
"That's right! The horse farm in the south of the city is opened by our Lingdong Qianzhuang, and if you buy horses there, no one else will know about it!"
Liu Chengzhi glanced at her gratefully and said, "Miss Qin, you and I meet in Pingshui, I don't know why you help each other so much?"
Qin Fei's face couldn't help but flush, and said, "Childe, the little girl can only help you get here, I hope there will be a chance to see you again in the future!"
With that, go inside.
Chengzhi recalled her words just now and couldn't help but be a little moved.
So, Liu Chengzhi led 10,000 Jin troops, while buying military horses, and at the same time transferred to the outside of the city. It took a total of half a month to complete all the deployments.
Since the Great Jin army left in Qinyang City was personally trained by Taiwei Liu, all of them were elite, skilled in military horses, and even long-distance travel, after bringing enough dry food, they began to march south.
After two days of traveling like this, the scenery on the side of the road gradually changed. I saw the rivers on both sides of the official road, the green waves rippling, and in the distance were white walls and green tiles, boat channels and curved stone arch bridges.
The village is surrounded by green hills and green bamboos, and the houses are intertwined with fertile fields and ponds, and the villagers in the fields are plowing the fields with oxen, and there are people fishing by the ponds, everything seems quite leisurely.
In the past few months, Liu Chengzhi has been accustomed to seeing the troubled times, and when he saw such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but be amazed, and secretly praised Li Xunlong, the assassin of Jiangnan, for his ability to govern the place.
Jiangnan Province is a province of money and grain, rich in the world, and there are many talented and beautiful people, and the imperial court has always sent the most capable officials to govern. This Li family is also a famous family in this dynasty, Li Xunlong was a jinshi at the age of nineteen, and he is quite a talented man.
It is called Mianzhou Mansion, and it is the first state capital to enter Jiangnan Province from the Yellow Desert District. Liu Chengzhi and his colleagues waited for this area, and first chose a village close to the city to settle down. After Liu Chengzhi and Xiang Wuji discussed, the two drove to the city.
They asked from others in the city that the name of the chief soldier here was Feng Guoyong, a military attache sent by the capital.
Liu Chengzhi and Xiang Wuji walked straight to the yamen of the mansion, and the soldiers at the door stopped them. Cheng Zhi reported to his family and said: "My surname is Liu, my name is Cheng Zhi, and I am the second son of Taiwei Liu Jinnan, and I once had a relationship with Feng Zongbing. ”
The soldier guarding the door saw that he looked extraordinary, and Xiang Wuji on the side was also majestic, so he reported it directly.
Feng Guoyong heard the report, half-convinced, but he didn't dare to slack off, he personally went out to see, and when he saw Xiang Wuji, he said: "General Xiang, you've been doing well lately! This is the second son?"
Xiang Wuji was not familiar with him, but Xiang Wuji was famous in the military of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Feng Guoyong had been a soldier under him.
After the two sides finished saluting, Feng Guoyong invited them to come in for a while.
Liu Chengzhi and Xiang Wuji were not polite and entered the hall directly. The two sides exchanged polite remarks, naturally talking about some people they knew in common, personnel changes in recent years, and so on, but the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Feng Guoyong left them to dine together.
At the dinner table, Liu Chengzhi tried to ask: "General Feng, the imperial court is in danger at present, and people with lofty ideals like you are urgently needed to raise the banner of righteousness, I don't know what to do?"
Feng Guoyong laughed and said, "What the second prince said is extremely true, and he does mean this when he falls. ”
Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed, and because it was getting late, the two sides agreed that Feng Guoyong would hand over the soldiers two days later. After the meal, Chengzhi and Wuji returned to their residence.
Two days later, Liu Chengzhi sent one of his commanders, Zhu Shanchang, to the Mianzhou Mansion, Feng Guoyong heard that it was Liu Chengzhi's envoy, and hurriedly received him, Zhu Shanchang asked directly: "Feng Zongbing, I don't know how the soldiers are handed over here?"
Feng Guoyong said: "Handover?
Zhu Shanchang said: "On that day, you and the second son of my family once said that today you will merge with our army and join the national disaster!"
Feng Guoyong said: "Is there such a thing, maybe I drank too much that day!"
It turned out that Feng Guoyong thought about it for two days, and felt that Liu Chengzhi's department was too weak after all, although he had ambitions, he was afraid that after cooperation, he would inevitably fail, and he regretted it in his heart.
Zhu Shanchang is also a shrewd person, but he didn't say much, and said: "Such a little one has taken his leave first!"
Feng Guoyong laughed again and said, "Master Zhu, don't leave when you come, stay a few more days!" After saying that, he waved his hands, and saw several teams of soldiers coming out on both sides, detaining Zhu Shanchang on the spot!
