"Jiangdong, the rats, thousands of years ago, shrunk into a corner, guarding their own one-third of an acre, others bullied the head, thinking about spending money to avoid disasters, rather than fighting with others.

If there is a big chaos today, Jiangdong has been enjoying stability and peace, the people of Jiangdong have been peaceful for a long time, how can they be willing to fight with others, Liu Ji You want to unite the Wu family, it is simply a fool's dream. The fifth Fusheng ridiculed Liu Ji.

Fifth, Fusheng's words made all the staff members agree.

They weren't with the Fifth Floating Being.

It's that the Wu family gives them the impression that they are strange.

The staff of the Huai Wangfu present are all from famous families, and they are all related to each other, such as who married the daughter of a certain family, or whether the father and the ancestor are world friends, in short, they can have something to do with each other before.

When we meet, we can talk a few words and chat a few words.

And the Wu family has no contact with them, they are one of the seven famous families, but the people of the family do not travel all over the world and make friends, but nest in Jiangdong and never participate in the disputes of the world.

King Huai also raised his eyebrows, the last time he sent the royal order, he invited the Wu family, but was rejected by the Wu family, so his impression of the Wu family was not very good.

"The Wu family and the stones in the thatched pit are stinky and hard, Liu Ji, do you have a way to move the Wu family?" King Huai looked at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji arched his hand towards King Huai, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have a friend who is an official in Jiangdong, and I also have correspondence with him from time to time, and his wife is the daughter of the Wu family, and the eldest brother is still the main battle faction of the Wu family. ”

King Huai's fingers lightly tapped the table, and then Zhengse said, "Okay, Liu Ji listens to the order." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"This king sent you to Jiangdong in person, if you can say that the Wu family can form an alliance, this king will remember you a great achievement."

"The subordinates must live up to the prince's trust."

……

Liu Ji's friend is named He Wangsheng, who is from the same school, and both of them have been promoted by Xuanhe for a year, and they both failed to make the list.

But He Wangsheng's family is a scholar clan in Jiangnan, and he has a marriage with the Song family of Jiangdong, and the Song family and the Wu family are related to each other, so after He Sheng fell off the list, he returned to Shuoyang, Jiangdong as an official, and married the youngest daughter of the younger brother of the current head of the Wu family, and he can be regarded as a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

Liu Ji came to Jiangdong pretending to be a businessman, He Wangsheng was stunned when he saw Liu Ji, and he was a little uncertain: "Brother Liu? ”

"Wangsheng." Liu Ji is a few years older than He Wangsheng, and the relationship between the two is excellent, and when they say goodbye, Liu Ji is also a little excited.

The two hugged heavily, He Wangsheng held Liu Ji's hand, and said with a look of reminiscing about the past: "Brother Liu, since Xuanhe separated for a year, I have rarely seen each other in the past nine years, most of them are letters, and it has been four years since we last met." ”

"I've counted, and by this year, it's been four years and one month." Liu Jidao.

He Wangsheng was a little touched, and then smiled: "I haven't seen you for more than four years, you and my senior brother have a good drink today." ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return." Liu Jidao.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return."

In the evening, after three rounds of drinking, He Wangsheng was not a fool, knowing that Liu Ji came to him at this time, there must be something, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Liu told me in the letter, you are on an errand in the Huaiwang Mansion, why did you suddenly come to me?" ”

"Wangsheng, you and I are from the same school, and I won't hide it from you. The prince has just crusaded against the Heavenly Master Army, and soon after recovering Fengzhou, it is the time when the morale is strong, the prince is ambitious, with the world in mind, and has Kuang Fu Da Song as a succession, and now the Great Song Dynasty is drifting away, there are seven countries in turmoil, and there are ambitious people from all sides inside.

Now the first to bear the brunt is to purge the Chen army headed by Chen Mo in the three prefectures of Qing, Yu, and Lin. ”

Liu Ji looked at He Wangsheng and continued: "As the prince's staff, I have to share his worries, and this time I came to Jiangdong to win over the Wu family for the prince, and I also asked Wangsheng to help me introduce Wu Yu." ”

Wu Yu is He Wangsheng's eldest brother.

He Wangsheng understood what Liu Ji meant, this was to win over the Wu family to deal with Chen Mo together.

He Wangsheng said: "Brother Liu, you also know that the Wu family has never participated in the disputes of the world's forces, and you are afraid that you will return in vain when you come this time." ”

"Whether it can be done or not, I have to try it to know, and I ask Wangsheng to help me introduce me. Whether it can be done or not, it will not affect the friendship between our fellow disciples and brothers. Liu Jidao.

"Even if Brother Liu asks for it, I will do my best."

Under the recommendation of He Wangsheng, Liu Ji met Wu Yu.

Jiangdong is respected by the Wu family, with the Wu family in charge, and the Wu family has 30,000 private soldiers, including 10,000 sailors and 20,000 horse foot soldiers.

Originally, the 30,000 horses were actually controlled by the head of the Wu family, but now Wu Yanqing, the head of the Wu family, is old and wants to hand over the class to the eldest son Wu Changlin, but the eldest son Wu Changlin has a loose personality and is a little uninhibited.

In order to be afraid that Wu Changlin would not be able to take on the big responsibility, and at the request of the clan, he handed over the water master to his younger brother's eldest son Wu Yu, and appointed him as the governor of the water division to assist Wu Changlin.

"It's a guest from afar, sit down." Wu Yu invited Liu Ji to sit down.

Liu Ji was not polite, and after arching his hand, he sat down.

Wu Yu poured a cup of tea for Liu Ji, and then said straight to the point: "Your origin, Wangsheng told me, the Wu family has never participated in the disputes of the world's forces for thousands of years, and it is the same now, after drinking this cup of tea, Your Excellency will leave, we should not have seen it." ”

Liu Ji knew that Wu Yu would be sloppy with him again, and if he really wanted to refuse himself, he would not meet him.

He said, "Then before you finish drinking this cup of tea, please listen to the governor and finish speaking." ”

Wu Yu took a sip of tea and didn't say a word.

Liu Ji knew that the other party had acquiesced, and said to himself: "I have known Jiangdong Chengping for a long time, and the people of Jiangdong do not think of swords and soldiers, and they are involved in disputes in the world, but the Wu family does not want to, but some people do. ”

Wu Yu still didn't speak.

"The governor didn't know that before the prince exterminated the Heavenly Master Army, Chen Mo threatened the prince with the matter of aiding the Heavenly Master Army, and asked for 300,000 taels and a 5,000-strong sailor from the prince, this sailor is the remaining elite of the Celestial Master Army.

Chen Mo is located in the land of Sanzhou, and at this time he suddenly asked for a sailor, the meaning of which is self-evident, and according to the understanding, Chen Mo is building a dock in Qiantang County, Linzhou, to build a warship, and the target is obviously Jiangdong. Liu Ji said slowly.

"Chen Mo got a sailor from Fengzhou?" Wu Yu finally spoke.

"Yes, I heard that this sailor still has something to do with the Nangong family in Chuanhai." Liu Ji saw that Wu Yu was moved, and then said: "If Chen Mo's target is really the land of Jiangdong, with Chen Mo's current strength, can he hold it by relying on the Wu family alone?" ”
