Chapter 127: Sima's family moves south

Chapter 127 The Sima family moved south

Jiyang Mansion, Tongshan County, the thousand-year-old Sima family seclusion, as the Tang Dynasty, there have been three prime ministers, countless important ministers in the court, the feudal officials of the Sima family compared to the Tang in Yangzhou, the situation of the Xie family is much worse, especially since the Tang Dynasty, the Sima family is the ancestral training that will never come out in the Tianlong Dynasty, and therefore the Sima family has been forgotten for 500 years, and few people still remember this former super family.

The establishment of the Great Chu Empire, the great vassals, Zhang Fei got a noble title of Tongshan Bo, and the place of food is in this Tongshan County, although Tongshan County is not far from the Huaishui, but its realm is not touched by the Huaishui at all, and the territory is bubbling without even a big river.

However, with the civil strife in the empire, Zhang Fei, who served as the lieutenant of Tongshan County, relied on his domineering side leakage, and was stunned to integrate the salt thief Meng Lao Wu in the mountains near Tongshan County, and then led people to directly grab a large piece of the river bank facing Huaishui from the side county, which can be regarded as allowing Tongshan County, which is not next to Huaishui, to have an estuary wharf.

Later, Zhang Fei repelled the demands in the left and right counties, and became the king of Black Yama who could not be provoked by the surrounding counties with his domineering style, and later Zhang Fei married the third daughter of the Sima family and became the son-in-law of the Sima family, which was even more out of control.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Sima family is not famous in the Tianlong Dynasty, but the inheritance of the Sima family has not been broken, and this generation of the Sima family has eight talents, although they are not officials, but they are willing to be staff, just so as not to learn useless, it can be said that the hidden power of the Sima family on both sides of the Huaishui is still very strong.

And with the turmoil of the Tianlong Empire and the division of places, the Sima family naturally does not have to abide by the ancestral teachings, especially Zhang Fei, a reckless man, can't get around his little lady's fingers at all, and after drinking too much wine, they all gave them all recruits, after learning that Bai Qi, Zhao Yun, and this Zhang Fei are all the henchmen of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the south, and the Sima family decided to go out of the mountain that night.

Now Sima Bajun is in the three provinces in the south of Qingzhou, but he is a high power, and he has helped Kong Mingchen open up the situation in the three mansions and control the place, and this time the Great Chu Empire was established, and more than 30 people in the Sima family got official positions, up to a provincial patrol envoy, down to a county Lingzun, it can be said that it is not a master, and it is a blockbuster as soon as he comes out.

Tongshan County, but the Sima family for hundreds of years of clan land, in the county, a small half of the people are surnamed Sima, it can be said that the Sima family in this Tongshan County is a word, and on the north bank of Huaishui, more than 20 counties, only this Tongshan County is the most supportive of Dachu, but also the most loyal.

With the Huaishui line, the situation was chaotic, and the private troops of the imperial Huaishui Legion attacked the counties and towns occupied by Dachu on the north bank, and lost two counties and six towns successively, but only this Tongshan County was not abandoned, but strengthened its garrison.

In addition to this is the clan land of the Sima family, Tongshan County will also be used as a bridgehead for the counterattack on the north bank, and the reason why they dare not make a big move now is nothing more than because the internal has not been straightened out, after all, the sudden change, it is inevitable that there will be generals, the soldiers do not understand, the outside must first settle the inside, the internal is not quiet, and the reckless war will only reduce its own strength.

However, this Annei will definitely not last forever, just wait for the internal straightening out, the Qingzhou Legion will not be beaten passively all the time, this is not their style, so a bridgehead is still very necessary, and guarding Tongshan, using Tongshan disciples, salt thieves, salt gangs, boat gangs, these descendants integrated by Zhang Fei, although they are not as strong as the forbidden army, and the ruffians are slightly heavier, but they can fight.

Tongshan County, although the current Sima Mansion is still the courtyard mansion of the past, but it has changed from the lonely and depressed in the past, and has become much more vibrant, and even with the change of the status of the Sima family, the whole mansion seems to have become solemn.

"Brother-in-law, are you back?" Sima Yuan, Sima Bajun's old and young, also has the strongest relationship with Zhang Fei, and now he is a staff officer, but in the division under Zhang Fei's jurisdiction, he is the second person, after all, Zhang Fei is the big boss, except for the most powerful in battle, other trivial matters are not very patient.

"Well, grandma is a bear, the Wang family belongs to the turtle king, as soon as Lao Tzu went out, they turned around and ran like rabbits, and they didn't even have a one-in-one enemy, it was really meaningless!" Zhang Fei sat directly on the chair, and as soon as the burly body in heavy armor sat down, the chair made a creaking sound, and I was afraid that it might fall apart at any time.

"You murderous thing, and you entered the yard covered in blood, how many times have I told you, I can't stand the smell, and I don't want to wash it up quickly!" Zhang Fei drank a pot of tea here, wiped his mouth, and was about to speak, Sima Xiaoxiao rushed in from the backyard, pointed at Zhang Fei and roared.

As the so-called one thing overcomes one thing, Zhang Fei is brave and martial arts outside, but he is afraid of this Situ Xiaoxiao enough, and suddenly rushed out of the yard like a gust of wind: "Lady, don't be angry, be careful of the child in your belly!"

"I said second sister, you can't be gentle with your brother-in-law, you weren't like this before, why is this voice getting louder and louder every time!" Sima Yuan was going to tell Zhang Fei something important, but as soon as his second sister appeared, he scared away his brother-in-law, who was known as the king of Hades, and he was really tough!

Sima Xiaoxiao sat on the chair at the top, with a beautiful face, but he sighed lightly: "You are your second sister, I think, this killer, if you are gentle with him, he doesn't know where the north is, so he has to be like this! By the way, I heard that you want your grandfather and they are going to move to the south, the situation is so bad?"

The Sima family, regardless of gender, has been taught since childhood, so this Sima Xiaoxiao is also a female prime minister, otherwise how can she hold Zhang Fei's coarseness.

"That's not true, just in case, after all, now there is only our Tongshan County left in Huaibei, although my brother-in-law also brought a brigade of soldiers and horses back, plus the forbidden army sent over before, the troops are sufficient, but it's better to be careful, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, my Sima family is now in Dachu, the status is not low, and we are terrible on the list of the Tianlong Empire!"

"Oh, move to the south, do you want to go to Suzaku City, or to Gaoyou?"

"Qingzhou is not peaceful now, a few days ago, a light beast cavalry of the Tang Empire actually killed Wayao Town, less than fifty miles away from Gaoyou City, and on the entire western front, there are no less than 100,000 Tang troops storming, and there are many second-line soldiers and horses in the follow-up, Zhao Shuai is also a little unable to support it over there, fortunately, two land and water divisions were sent to the south to help in the battle, which stabilized the situation!"

"That's going to Vermilion Bird City, it's okay, I heard that the Chu Imperial Palace is very beautiful, and there is the island suspended in mid-air, I also want to see it!" Sima Xiaoxiao said with a smile, but she knew that there was probably a possibility of quality in it, after all, the Sima family now occupies a lot of power, it can be said that the two provinces of Qingzhou, half of the Sima family, this pattern, even if you trust it and stay away from other people's eyes, it is easy to be suspicious.

And moving south, I am afraid that some people in the family took the initiative to think of it, after all, the Sima family is not a Xiaobai family, and they understand the psychology of the emperor who is high, otherwise why would the Sima family be prominent for so long in the Tang Dynasty.

"But I heard that there is a large population in Vermilion Bird City, our big family has gone, is there a big enough place!" "The Sima family is not a small family, there are six branches in the main branch alone, and eighteen side branches, as for those who are divided into families, there are even more, but those don't care, but they are only the main branch, and the twenty-four side branches are no less than thousands of people, in this Tongshan County, Sima Mansion covers an extremely wide area, anyway, this Tongshan County is also a poor county, and it doesn't matter how much place it occupies.

"It's naturally impossible to live in Vermilion Bird City, our Sima family has also got a big mansion this time, and my brother-in-law also has an earl's mansion, so it's okay to make do with it for the time being, it's no problem to arrange the main branch, as for the side branches, let them go to Xiangxi Province!"

"Xiangxi Province? is the original Xiyan Mansion?"

"That's right, it was occupied by the Holy Sect before, and it was only taken last year, the Holy Sect is not light in this Xiangxi Province, the place is withered, and the population is scattered, so there are a lot of spare fields and some quite good mansions here! This place is adjacent to Xiangshui, across the river is Ping'an Province, and it is only two or three hundred miles away from Vermilion Bird City, and it was one of the three major granaries in Chuzhou before, the plains are endless, and the land is very fertile, but it is many times stronger than our Tongshan County!"

"Well, it's all handled over there!"

"Well, Brother Jun is dealing with this matter, he is now walking in the military department, it is quite convenient to be there, and after His Majesty heard about it, he also specially allocated a sum of money for our Sima family to resettle!

"It's a saving, but this broken family is worth a lot of money, and this move is estimated to be sad for a while!" Although Sima Xiaoxiao is not a member of the Sima family, after marrying Zhang Fei, he still lives in Sima's mansion, and he knows the situation at home very well.

"What are you two sisters talking about, why are you sad!" Zhang Fei changed into a robe, strode into the house, looked at Sima Xiaoxiao's frowning brows, and couldn't help asking.

"What else can I say, isn't this going to move, this is going to Vermilion Bird City, I don't know the place well, I don't even have a livelihood, we don't even have any basic assets at home, just your food, I can't count on it, I have to think about how the family can live!"

Zhang Fei listened, but patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, I thought something was wrong, didn't we receive the title of earl, His Majesty gave 100,000 gold for the purpose of preparing the house, and the family's livelihood, the inner court also seems to have given some management rights, I don't remember, when I turn around, you go to our earl's mansion and go to the old housekeeper to ask for it!"

"Really!" Sima Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, it was not that she was greedy for money, but that she was afraid of poverty, speaking of which, such a big family as the Sima family may not have 100,000 gold.

"That's still fake!"

"Hehe, I'll go to the backyard to clean up, you two talk!" Sima Xiaoxiao said and turned away happily, the swaying posture made Zhang Fei swallow and spit at the mouth.

"Brother-in-law, don't look at it, the people are gone, although this time we have killed the Wang family, but it is not over, according to the information sent back by our nails, although the Tianlong army is still gathering, it has sent some envoys to come here, it should be planned to connect the soldiers and horses everywhere, it is estimated that soon, we will have to face the biggest offensive!"

"Oh, it's just right, I'm itching on my forehand, they come as many as they want, kill as much as they want!"

"My brother-in-law, both fists are still difficult to defeat four hands, Tongshan County is not big, there is not much room for maneuver, and the county town can not be defended, we fought happily before, but this is because those soldiers and horses are not under their own, each fights, scattered sand, but once the other party is united, then we can not look at the east and the west, not to mention that we only have 10,000 people, and we are divided into two cities and seven towns, and now there are no less than 40,000 people in the county, once the left and right attack, we can't stand it!"
