After the three-way army converged in Yanzhou Mansion, they marched hand in hand, went to Huai'an Mansion, then passed through Xuyi in Fengyang Mansion, and finally went to Jiangpu in Yingtianfu, and then arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River, crossed the Yangtze River, and Jiangning on the opposite side, and Jinling City was in sight.

After arriving in Jiangpu, Liu Liu and the others did not set off immediately, but ordered people to gather boats and supplies for the winter. They had been fighting in the north before, and because their foundation was not stable, they did not have many ships under their hands, so they could only search for ships near the Yangtze River.

It's just that most of the people who have boats here are small fishing boats, and they have so many troops, they can't just rely on small fishing boats to cross the river. In case of a strong wind, you must not drown most of them.

There was no way, Liu Liu had to order someone to find the big ship first, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter and delivered it to Wuxi City.

After several days, not many large ships were collected, but a small boat came from the east along the Yangtze River.

"Report to the marshal, there is a person who has made a message outside, saying that he is the old man of Wuxi City. In the backyard of the county government in Jiangpu City, a personal guard walked in and said to Liu Liu.

"The old man of Wuxi City? Liu Liu's face showed a hint of joy, it seemed that the letter he wrote had worked after all, if there was this person's help, it would be easy to cross the river.

After a while, a man in a white fur cloak entered the backyard, and when he entered, he removed the fur hat from his head, revealing a white face.

This person is about thirty years old, and his face is not handsome, but he is still passable. The most impressive thing is his eyes, which are full of shrewdness, which makes people know at first glance that he is a qualified businessman.

"Mr. Anguo, I've been looking forward to you for a long time. When Liu Liu saw the comer, he immediately laughed and invited An Guo to sit down. An Guo smiled slightly, and was not polite, and sat down on the chair on the side.

"Haha, I've been looking forward to you for a long time. After sitting down, An Guo put his fur hat aside, also with a smile on his face. It's just that his smile is very polite, like that of the shopkeeper in the city.

"We don't talk darkly, this time I invited Mr. to come, you can probably guess the intention, and I hope that Mr. will help me, if this matter is successful, Liu will have a good reward." Liu Liu asked people to serve hot tea, arched his hand at An Guoyi, and said with a straight face.

He believes that the person in front of him definitely has hope of solving his current predicament. Don't look at his age of 30, but his business skills are really amazing. When An Guo was eighteen years old, his father gave him some land, but he was unwilling to be a guard dog, sold the land, bought some goods, and then relied on the relationship with Shao Bao, the right-hand political envoy of Zhejiang, to expand the business and open up the trade routes in Zhejiang, known as "will be million".

This man has a lot of grain ships under his command, and if he is willing to provide them, the Yangtze River will be a smooth road for them.

"I have a granary in the land of Liuhe, where there are fifteen hundred black trough ships and a hundred thousand stone of grain. I think there's going to be a fire there in the next few days. An Guo picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves gently, and said quietly.

"Great. As soon as Liu Liuyi heard this, he immediately got up, with a red light on his face, and the depression just now was swept away. "With the help of Mr., we will be able to conquer the south and rule the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Hey, Dashuai is wrong, it's not that I'm helping you, it's just that my granary is on fire. An Guo didn't take Liu Liu's words, and shook his head gently.

"Yes, yes, I lost my word. When Liu Liuyi heard this, he also patted his head, seemed to understand something, and immediately said guiltily.

An Guo is a real businessman, and a real businessman has no home and country, and only interests can drive them. Now that Liu Liu and others are powerful, he naturally understands the truth of strange goods. Therefore, he secretly came to help Liu Liu and others. But he knows more about doing things in a low-key manner, and if Liu Liu and them fail, he will have a way out.

"It's time for dinner, so let's stay and eat. The two chatted for a while, and Liu Liu was going to invite An Guo to dinner together.

"There's no need to eat, I'm still waiting for the good news from Dashuai in Wuxi. An Guo didn't agree, just arched his hand and got up to leave.

"Okay, if we conquer Jinling, we will definitely give Mr. the first credit. Liu Liu was just polite just now, he still wanted to hurry to Liuhe to receive the ship, where did he still have the heart to eat.

"Farewell. An Guo wrapped the cloak on his body again, lowered his hat, blocked his head and face, walked out quickly, sat in a sedan chair again, and went to the edge of the Yangtze River.

"Master, I don't think these rebels have any military discipline at all, and they don't look like people who can be relied on. After leaving the palace, a middle-aged man who had been following An Guo spoke up. This person is the housekeeper of Anfu and the most trusted person in Anguo.

"Hehe, the only person in the world who can rely on you is yourself. We are businessmen, but if you always want to be attached to others, then your pattern will always be just a businessman. Do you still remember Wan Sangong? How much money did he give Taizu? Didn't he be slaughtered with a knife? I sent something to Liu Liu, not because I wanted to attach myself to him, but because I just planned to borrow his knife for use. Only when this Jiangnan is chaotic can we have a chance to make a fortune. An Guo smiled, his real power was not in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because he had long known that merchants would never be able to do anything to the imperial court, and he had begun to gradually move his industry to the land of Nanyang five years ago.

Nanyang is hot and rainy all year round, the land is extremely fertile, and the rice can be harvested three times a year. And there are also rich silver and gold mines, which can really be called digging money in the soil. In addition, the local natives are ignorant and lazy, and have no competitiveness at all, which is simply a happy land for merchants.

In the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are many big businessmen who go to sea. Although there is a sea ban in the Ming Dynasty, it is also convenient for the smuggling of merchants, and they make a lot of money one by one. After having money, they opened up the relationship between the top and made them more unscrupulous.

This is also the reason why An Guo is not very respectful to Liu Liu, in his opinion, it doesn't matter if Liu Liu will turn his face, it really doesn't work, he can go directly to the land of Nanyang, where no one will speak even if he directly opens up a place to be the king.

The two were talking casually, and soon arrived at the riverside.

"Master, are we going back to Wuxi now?" the butler asked softly, standing behind An Guo.

"No, let's go to Jinling. ”......
