At this time, a military general came out and said: "Absolutely not!"

Everyone looked back, but it was Sima Wu, a cronie brought by Shangguan Yunguan from the Great Jin Dynasty this time.

Sima Wudao: "According to the speculation of the celestial officials, Yangjiang will be flooded in the near future, and a large number of people and soldiers will be needed to participate in the governance, and in addition, Gongwei Jinling also needs a large number of manpower, has the second prince forgotten how you took Jiangnan Province?"

Liu Chengzhi was silent and did not answer.

Shangguan Yun said angrily: "General Sima, how can you be so rude to the second son?"

Sima Wu said loudly: "Your Highness, the last general is just telling the truth, I hope Your Highness will know the truth!"

Shangguan Yunquan was furious and ordered: "Come on, drag this person down, and beat him with thirty court rods!"

Sima Wu was dragged down, shouting as he retreated, "Your Highness, I am loyal, I am not convinced!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengzhi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, General Sima is just planning for the country, please spare him!"

At this time, Liu Chengzhi's old department also came out one after another: "Please spare General Sima Your Highness!"

When Shangguan Yunjing saw such a scene, his face suddenly became gloomy, he waved his hand, and said, "Since Brother Yunli is pleading, let him go!"

At this time, another general, Sun Qingqi, came out and said: "Your Highness, what General Sima said is reasonable, even if you want to attack Geshu Wuji at this time, you will definitely not be able to send 900,000 people, otherwise the Southern Region will be in danger!"

This Sun Qingqi has just been promoted from the army in the past two months, and he is quite wise.

Shangguan Yun said, "Brother Chengzhixian, I don't know what your opinion is?"

Liu Chengzhi hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen is willing to lead 500,000 soldiers and horses against 800,000 Geshu troops, I hope His Highness will be gracious!"

Shangguan Yunquan laughed and said, "Then according to what Brother Xian said!"

There is still half a month to go, Liu Chengzhi handed over the affairs of the general to Xiang Wuji to deal with, and left the mansion by himself to find Chang Shanjie.

Chang Shanjie's mansion Liu Chengzhi has been to the mansion many times in the past half a year, so he is naturally very familiar, he asked the servants not to pass it on, and walked slowly towards the courtyard by himself.

I saw a lot of begonias planted in the yard, a large piece of red and gorgeous, Chang Shan Jie was standing next to the rockery, staring at a pair of swans in the lake, the wind blew, the long skirt fluttered, under the reflection of wicker and green grass, it looked extraordinarily gorgeous.

"What do you want?" asked Liu Chengzhi.

Chang Shanjie was startled, turned around and saw Liu Chengzhi, and sighed faintly: "You're going to go on the expedition again, right?"

Liu Chengzhi also sighed: "I have been preparing for half a year, if I don't go on the expedition at this time, it will be even more difficult in the future!"

Liu Chengzhi thought for a while and asked, "There is still half a month to go, would you like to accompany me to the states south of the Yangtze River?"

Chang Shanjie's face turned red and said, "Recently, there have been a lot of things in my house, where can I have time to go out with you for a walk." Then he turned his head and said, "Where are you going?"

Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed and said, "Let's go to Ganzhou City and see what has become of it now!"

Chang Shanjie nodded slightly.

Three days later, the two came to Ganzhou City. At this time, the city of Ganzhou was very lively, although it experienced war half a year ago, but under the recuperation of Liu Chengzhi and Shangguan Yunjing for nearly half a year, the market was becoming more and more prosperous, and the people did not have to worry about food and clothing, Liu Chengzhi was quite happy. After staying in the city for a day, the two of them went out of the city to a place called Liuligang outside the city.

Liu Chengzhi and Chang Shan Jie traveled less than a few miles and came to Liuligang. Look carefully at the scenery in the gang, only to see that the mountain in front of you is not high, but quite elegant, a river in front of the gang flows through, it seems that the water is not deep, and it is clear, you can see the end at a glance; the land on the hill is not wide, it is very flat, there is a small forest, because it is the middle of summer, the trees are quite luxuriant; there are apes and cranes in the bushes constantly chirping.

Liu Chengzhi has been in battle for a long time, and when he saw such an elegant scene, he couldn't help but slow down, pointed at Chang Shanjie, and appreciated it.

After walking hundreds of feet on the post, I saw a village appear in front of me. I saw several farmers on the side of the village, ploughing the fields with their hoes. Liu Chengzhi straightened his clothes and stepped forward to ask, "May I ask Mr. Liu, does he live here?"

The farmers only said that they didn't know, and Liu Chengzhi asked again: "Then may I ask if you have a teacher here?"

A stout farmer said: "Half a year ago, two gentlemen came, they were very good, they never charged us tuition, only planted some vegetables in front of their own house, what a good person!"

Liu Chengzhi hurriedly thanked him, asked for the road, and walked towards the school building in the village.

It was noon, Liu Chengzhi came to the small hut next to the school building, and only heard the elegant sound of the piano coming from inside.

Liu Chengzhi also has a lot of knowledge of the piano, so he listened quietly, and after a stick of incense, the sound of the piano stopped.

There was a faint sigh from inside the room, and I could only hear the people inside say, "I wonder who is here to listen to me playing the qin?"

Liu Chengzhi gave a salute outside the house and said, "Mr. Liu, it's a kid!"

Liu Xingshen said: "Second son, I have already been free of all mundane things, I don't know why you are visiting today?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "I know that Mr. has seen through the world, but a person, as long as he is in this world, he can't escape the hand of fate no matter what!"

Lau didn't answer either, and fell silent.

Liu Chengzhi continued: "Sir, you can know that the political situation in Jiangnan has changed again, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty has now come here, and you old people in Jiangnan have been used. ”

Liu Shiingshen said: "How about activation, what if it is not activated, what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "Sir, the change of the court will inevitably reach the rivers and lakes, who can avoid it if we do it?"

Liu Shiingshen sighed and said: "I see that Shangguan Yun's ability to govern the country is not small, and after the past two months of governance, Jiangnan is more peaceful than ever! I'm afraid that this person's wrist is not under you!"

Liu Chengzhi laughed and said, "It's rare that Mr. Liu still cares about the current political situation in the world, so it saves me a lot of trouble!"

"Mr. Liu, what do you think is the weakness of His Royal Highness the Three Princes?"

Liu said: "I'm not in the court, so I don't know much about the court, what does the second son mean?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "These three princes, His Royal Highness, have the ability and skill to govern the country, but they are not familiar with military affairs, except for Wang Hanchen, but there are no available generals!"

Liu said: "The second prince laughed, there is a genius like you, but he said that he has no available generals?"

Liu Chengzhi's eyes dimmed, and he said: "I'm afraid that I'm not far from being free, so I am willing to beg Mr. Liu to go out of the mountain for the people of Jiangnan to protect my peace in Jiangnan!"

Liu Xingshen said: "The second son is too worried, the old man is already disheartened, and he doesn't want to jump into this fire pit again!"

Liu Chengzhi said loudly: "At present, the situation in the Jiangnan court is unclear, and Geshu Wuji is expanding its armaments and warfare, and he is eyeing it! Mr. Liu is not going out of the mountain at this time, does he have to wait for the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River to fall back into the flames of war before considering the way back?"

Liu Chengzhi stood up and said, "Old man, I know you need time to think about it. The boy will no longer bother, so don't bother him anymore! I hope that the old gentleman will consider the great Jin and the people of Jiangnan, regain the old pride, and achieve the great cause, and say goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left.

Lau sat in front of the piano, expressionless, motionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.
