Chen Yan's appointment came down: Lieutenant of Hefei Branch.

On his way to office, he came to Chen County to express his gratitude.

As a member of the Chen clan in Xuchang, he knew very well that he was still able to calm Hefei after the defeat: Chen Hou was able to protect his strength.

In this matter, Duzhi Wang Shangshu did not object, and the Son of Heaven had more important things to do, and he also did not object. Then, in the case of the king of the East China Sea out of Yanzhou, the matter is so decided.

He set off from Luoyang, got on the boat when he arrived in Chenliu Junyi County, and went south through the Suiyang Canal to Chen County.

Sima Yue is also in Junyi.

He gathered the seven or eight thousand remnants of the defeated generals gathered by Liu Qia—the troops led by the former Wang Kan and Wang Shiwen, and the army of the East China Sea Kingdom—to 40,000, and fought fiercely with Wang Mi in the area of Sujube and Baima.

The course of the battle was lackluster.

Wang Mi deep ditch high base, avoid without fighting, only keep the ferry.

Sima Yue entrusted the army to Changshi Pei Miao, He Lun, Wang Bing, Liu Qia, Bo Sheng and other deputies, after the siege of Xunri, the ferry in the north of Kesan Zao County, but Baima has not been able to take it.

Chen Yan didn't stay here for long, and after waiting for the boat, he went south from Junyi County.

Junyi County is a mess.

The county order has long since abandoned the official and left.

The beggar marshal Chen Wu led the crowd to entrench here, but they were not chaotic troops, but were ordered to guard this place.

Last year, Sima Yue summoned Hebei beggars to Beijing, and Li Yun and Bo Sheng obeyed the order and went to Luoyang.

Chen Wu led more than 5,000 Han and Wuhuan refugees to Chenliu.

Wang Ping and Qi Ji were even more outrageous, seeing that Chen Wu was in Chenliu, they didn't compete with him, and went directly to the Liang State next door to Chenliu, and found a piece of land to settle down.

The development of the beggar army was very rapid.

Back then, there were only more than 10,000 beggar soldiers brought to Hebei by Sima Teng, most of whom were state officials, soldiers and civilians.

After Zhenye, Sima Teng only sent a few men and horses to defend the city for him, and most of the beggar army ate in the counties of Jizhou, which began a great development.

Not only did the Hu and Han people from Bingzhou go east to Jizhou to join, but also many Jizhou soldiers and civilians joined in.

Before the Jisang rebellion, the beggar army dispatched 50,000 people at once, which shows its scale.

Compared with the general "anti-Jin" purpose of the Wandering People's Army, the purpose of the Begging Army is to "support Jin", which is the biggest difference between them and the Wandering Army, after all, it is within the system.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the beggar army has formed three major "base areas".

The north of the Yellow River was active in the area of Shangbai (Anping County, Jizhou) in Guangzong, and cultivated and fought, and was led by Tian Hui, the chief of the original Fanyang King Sima Yu.

To the south of the Yellow River, Junyi County of Chen Liuguo was stationed, and was led by Chen Wu.

After Wang Ping's separation, the state of Liang was about to become his third base.

When Chen Yan went south from Junyi, he could see homeless people with an accent from Jizhou and Jizhou everywhere. Fierce and aggressive, robbing nature, if he didn't have an official body and hundreds of followers, maybe he was really robbed.

"The good Caoyun town was actually occupied by the beggar army." Chen Yan sighed.

"Anyway, they are Situ's soldiers, so they won't cut off the luck." Yang Jun, who accompanied him to the south, comforted.

"It's obedient now, but it's hard to say in the future." Chen Yan shook his head and said, "Counting on these people to resist the Huns, Situ is afraid that he is thinking too much." ”

"Who will they use if they don't?" Yang Jun said helplessly: "The governor of Xuchang doesn't have any soldiers, and the Yanzhou soldiers are also held in Situ's hands, and the place is empty, so I can only summon the beggar army to resist one or two." ”

"That's right." Chen Yan nodded, then looked at Wang Yin who was following him, and asked, "Uncle Chu has returned to the township, and he is much stronger than me and other people who are running around." ”

Wang Yin, the uncle of the word, the younger brother of the cavalry general Wang Hu, is a native of Chen County, Chen County.

Their family is considered a poor family.

The cold door is probably the biggest difference between the upper and lower limits of the world's doors. Some poor families have no money to spare, and they live a relatively hard life, and they can't even eat enough, and some of them are poor, with groups of slaves and a luxurious life.

Chenjun Wang's family is relatively poor, and it is only in Wang Hu's generation that life has improved because he is a general in the forbidden army.

But the generals of the forbidden army have limited benefits to be gained, and they are not as good as local officials such as Taishou.

Fortunately, the two brothers have a good mentality and are not so demanding about material things. Especially Wang Yin, being able to read and write books is satisfied, and there are no other too high requirements.

He had been living in Luoyang before, and he didn't go out of the door. didn't expect to be so low-key, but he was still heard by Chen Hou and hired as a doctor in Hou's mansion (ninth grade).

Wang Yin was reluctant to be an official, but his brother persuaded him, and at the same time he returned to his hometown in Chen County, and agreed after thinking twice.

This time, he followed Chen Yan and Yang Jun to the south - Yang Jun was originally Situ Peng, but now he has left the house, and this time he came to talk about things on the order of Wang Yan.

Captain Chen laughed. Wang Yin tugged at the corners of his mouth, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Hefei is a quiet place, isn't it better than Zhongzhou?" Now I don't know how many well-dressed people have crossed to the south, even if they lose their official positions and go to Jiangnan. Captain Chen was able to support Hefei, and he was envied by many people. ”

Captain Duzhi is a fat shortage, everyone knows this. And it is the degree of Hefei, far away from the land of Luoyang, and it is the fat shortage in the fertilizer shortage.

I heard that Chen Yan and Mi Huang intersected with each other, and they had beaten Wang Mi with Chen Hou in Yuyuan Pass, and the relationship was naturally not ordinary.

Moreover, the Chen family of Xuchang has fallen to Chen Hou, and it is not surprising that he can go to Hefei to supervise the transportation of grain.

After the king of the East China Sea left Yanzhou, now if he wants to seek an official, it is not wrong to find Wang Yan and Liu Jun, but if he finds another way to go to Chen Hou's mansion, sometimes there will be surprises.

His relationship with Wang Yifu is not ordinary!

"I went to Hefei to do something that offended people." Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "It's March, and there hasn't been a boatload of grain to Junyi through the whirlpool. Taiwei and Shangshu were in a hurry, and even the Son of Heaven issued an order to ask. I don't know what's going on. ”

"Hasn't the Qian Kuai Rebellion been put down? King Langya has always been respectful, will he withhold money and food? Not really, right? Yang Jun was surprised.

Qian Xuan's rebellion was wiped out by the Jiangnan Hao clan.

The largest number of troops was sent to Yixing Zhou, and this was the third time he pacified Jiangnan.

The first time was to send troops to pacify Shi Bing, and the main credit was Chen Min's, but Zhou Xi of the Yixing Zhou clan gathered his troops to participate in the war.

The second time was Chen Min's rebellion, this time it was the Jiangnan Hao clan who collectively turned their backs on him and turned to each other, and Zhou Xi also led his troops to join the war.

The third time is the Qian Xuan Rebellion. Zhou Xi sent troops again and calmed down in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he has won the reputation of "Sanding Jiangnan".

It can also be seen from the side that the power of the wealthy clan in Jiangnan is already very strong, and the Yixing Zhou clan often organizes more than 10,000 private soldiers, and it still has considerable combat effectiveness, but I don't know how much land and population this family occupies, and it can probably be "closed doors" and "self-sufficient".

Sima Rui, the king of Langya, could probably only appease and win them over, and he didn't even dare to say anything serious. Unless there are more and more people in Nandu and a large number of northern soldiers and civilians are brought over, the waists of Sima Rui and Wang Dao can be slightly straightened.

"What I'm worried about is not Qian Yue, but the attitude of the Wu Dihao family." Chen Yan shook his head, not wanting to say more about this.

The money and grain collected in Hefei not only included the taxes levied in Shouchun and other old Wei and Jin dynasties, but also the grain in Wu further south. The court is like this now, Chen Yan is a little worried that the Jiangnan scholars have different intentions, so it will be difficult to clean up.

Yang Jun understood as soon as he heard it, and he immediately felt worried.

As a member of the Hongnong Yang clan, he has no intention of crossing to the south. After Sima Yue left the town, he took refuge in Wang Yan and actively approached Chen Hou Shao Xun - his father Yang Zhun was friendly with Le Guang, and Yang Jun was also friends with Le Guang's son Le Zhao and others.

He knew very well that the current Luoyang Imperial Court could not do without money and grain from other states. In the case of the Central Plains, the relatively stable south is a rare place to lose taxes.

The Yamen of the Guanglingdu branch has been paralyzed, and if there is another problem in Hefei, it will be really troublesome.

But he had no choice but to hope that Zhou Fu, the governor of Yangzhou (Zhi Shouchun), could stabilize the situation and collect money and grain as much as possible to send to Beijing in order to have a protracted war with the Xiongnu.

Several people chatted while walking, and two or three days later, they crossed the Fugou along the Suiyang Canal and entered Yangxia County.

At this time, the fire in the distance caught their attention, and when they asked, it turned out that it was one of the manors of the He family in Chen County.

Assassin Shi Lu Zhi led the army to arrest the former Zou Ping ordered He Ji, He Ji raised troops to resist, and when the manor was breached, he set himself on fire.

"This ......" Chen Yan opened his mouth and was shocked.

Yang Jun looked at the He Manor, where there was a faint shout, and his heart was uncertain.

Wang Yin, who had not spoken much, also raised his head suddenly, looked at the once brilliant He family manor, and was speechless for a long time.

He even climbed to the top of the boat and watched silently.

There were a lot of soldiers besieging He's Manor, but their clothes were messy and their equipment was varied.

In the distance, more than 2,000 armor soldiers stood solemnly with weapons, apparently in formation.

If nothing else, the soldiers who pressed the formation should be Chen Hou's private army, Qu Silver Spear Army. So, what kind of soldiers are besieging the He family?

The answer is actually quite obvious: the Scholar Trilogy.

As for which family or which divisions it is, it is unknown, and most of them can't run out of the Yuan and Xie families.

There may be other families, and the Marquis of Guy Chen is here to gather all the clans, and each family has brought some people over.

The soldiers of the exorcist clan attacked the warrior clan, and then divided the He family?

It's a really good idea.

After this experience, "Chen Jun" is probably really going to become "Chen Guo" - Chen Guo of the Shao family.
