Wu Gen was holding the shuttle on Yang Zheng's shoulder. When they met today, they actually didn't spend much time talking about business matters. After establishing that the Fearless Army could be relatively independent from the Ji family and gain a foothold in the Iron Hand Province, the two sides were left with Drink and talk about the past.
Wu Gen knew Ji Ye's difficulties. Because the Fearless Army grew rapidly and wiped out so many families, many people actually hated the Fearless Army. They did not dare to face Wu Gen directly, so they had to put pressure on Ji Ye in order to restrain the fearless army.
Ji Ye also had to give an explanation to these families. After all, many of them would serve as officials of various sizes in the new dynasty, and such a large country still needed this group of people to help run it.
In fact, Wu Gen's appointment as general was the best choice for Ji Ye and the various families. Since Ji Ye was not interested in political affairs, he did not have many connections in the upper and lower circles, so he needed Wu Gen to help him suppress various families in the court.
For each family, Wu Gen separated from the Fearless Army and was located above the court, just like a tiger tied to a rope. Their chances of moving around were much greater, and the threat to each family was naturally much smaller.
However, Wu Gen ultimately rejected the good intentions of both parties. After all, his ambition was not here. After all, he still wanted to go home early. After all, the youth of this girl cannot pass away while waiting year after year.
Ji Ye drank a little too much today. In the end, he held Shui Congyue's hand bravely and asked him to help take care of Ji Yan. It seems that Ji Yan is going back to Liangzhe Mountain together and will not attend her brother's coronation ceremony.
Seeing this scene, Wu Gen broke into cold sweat on his scalp. Ji Ye was so brave that he dared to make such a request in person.
Qiu, even though he is about to become the emperor, in Shui Congyue's eyes, this is nothing.
However, Shui Congyue was very calm today, and did not shake off the other party's tightly grasped hand. She agreed to the other party's request with silence, allowing Wu Gen and Yang Zheng to open their mouths wide enough to fit a horse's hoof.
The shuttle slowly rose, and the people on the ground quickly became smaller and smaller. Wu Gen wiped away his drunken state and stood by the side of the ship silently, looking at Ji Ye on the ground sadly. Perhaps this was the last time in this life for these people to drink and have fun unscrupulously.
On the ground, Ji Ye also wiped away his drunken state, stared at Murong Yuqiang coldly, turned around and walked into the tent.
Brother Murong Ying wiped her face, and her face that was red from drinking suddenly returned to normal. He walked to his daughter and patted her head gently, "Yu Qiang, you are also going to be the queen. From now on, you will be the queen." Don't be so immature in your approach when encountering this kind of thing. You should learn from your sister on this point. She just chose the wrong person and didn't do anything wrong." After saying that, Murong Yingge also entered the university with her hands behind her back. account.
Murong Yuqiang bit her lip, glanced at the shuttle that had turned into black spots in the distance, put her hands in her sleeves, raised her head slightly, and slowly walked into the tent.
After returning to Liangzhe Mountain, Wu Gen calmed down and began to reorganize the Fearless Army wholeheartedly. With the supplies from the three counties and the self-produced products in the mountains, Wu Gen finally decided to expand the Fearless Army to 100,000 people, with each army having 20,000 people. At the same time, the Volunteer Falcon Army also expanded to 3,000 people. Although there were not so many shuttles and soldiers, the early training was also to reserve talents for the future.
Hu Jia led a group of people to build roads to the west and south of Liangzhe Mountain.
, despite the cold weather, there is no shortage of fearless soldiers now, and the progress is quite fast. The road to Bailing Province has been basically opened, but the road to the south to Shule Province is still difficult due to the steep mountains. During careful investigation.
At the same time, with the help of the Yifu Army, Wu Gen gradually established direct contact with Chu Xi and the others in Lingyun Village, not only through letters, but also through personnel exchanges. After Wu Gen left, Chu Xi, as the leader, carefully maintained the relationship with the surrounding families. Coupled with the secret guard token of the school affairs station given by Yu Hao, he was able to save several villages.
Wu Gen secretly sent a lot of property to Chu Xi for proper use. Liangzhe Mountain is not ready yet and cannot return in a short time. They can only rely on them to hold on for a few more days.
On this day, Wu Gen was sitting in the room, reading the letter Chu Xi sent to him. The letter still reported the current situation of the three villages, but at the end of the letter, Chu Xi vaguely mentioned that Ha Bao seemed to be more closely related to Qi Yue of the Qi family.
Wu Gen put down the letter and walked to the window to look west.
For Chu Xi to bother mentioning the snow-capped peaks nearby must have made him feel a little uneasy.
Sighing, Wu Genzheng was about to call Yang Zheng over to strengthen the manpower in Shixing Village and other places. Suddenly I remembered that today is the beginning of spring, which is the day when Ji Ye ascends the throne. Yang Zheng and Ye Ziming had already brought gifts to Hanlu City, preparing to attend the enthronement ceremony.
"Gao Jing." Wu Gen shouted into the courtyard, and soon Gao Jing and Gao Han walked in. They were playing with fireworks in the courtyard, and their noses were all red from the cold.
"Is it fun?" Wu Gen rubbed Gao Han's head lovingly, and without exception tied her hair into a bun.
Made a mess.
"The leader of the village is a nuisance." Gao Han got rid of Wu Gen's clutches unsatisfactorily. The little girl stayed in Xianwan City for a long time and fell in love with everything here. She became increasingly familiar with Wu Gen. Naturally, Less fear.
"Do you like fireworks?"
"like."
"Okay, then let's have a big one. Gao Jing, inform all armies and villages to let off big fireworks today. The whole army will have a rest and have a three-day feast." Wu Gen patted the table lightly with his hand and issued a strange military order. .
"Captain, are you in time? Nothing has been arranged." Gao Jing suggested carefully with a confused look on his face.
"Go and inform the princess, she is also the agricultural clerk, let her control it." Wu Gen waved his hand. Anyway, he gave the order and left it to Ji Yan.
After Ji Yan returned to Liangzhe Mountain, considering that she might not leave again, Wu Gen arranged for her to be a farmer, responsible for industry, commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, with Chen Hong assisting her.
In today's Liangzhe Mountains, due to Ji Ye's continuous flow of human beings from all over the country and the defection of some herdsmen, the number of soldiers and civilians is increasing day by day, and the number has reached more than 300,000. According to Chen Hong and Lu Qing's ideas, they planned to completely abandon the idea of military control and build a city near the four peaks of Dengyun, Yingzhu, Suikong and Chiyan to accommodate the increasing population.
Chen Hong and others were all capable officials. Under their management, the exchanges between Liangzhe Mountain and the surrounding counties became increasingly frequent, and the desolate mountain gradually became prosperous.
In order for these newcomers to return home, Wu Gen deliberately took the opportunity to celebrate Ji Ye's ascension to the throne to let everyone relax and have more communication with the old and new.
In the evening, Wu Gen took Gao Han to the Yunyun Tower, the tallest building in Xianwan City.
Where Yunyuntang is located, Niu Chao, Ji Chenming, Ji Yan and other people who are resident in the city have already been waiting here.
"Today, the first cup is congratulations to Ji Guo." Wu Gen sat at the table, glanced at the people around the table, and raised the wine glass in front of him.
"Congratulations to Ji Guo." Everyone responded in unison, raising their glasses and drinking down the wine in one gulp.
"The second cup is to congratulate the fearless army. May our army hold up the sea and reach the sky and be invincible." Wu Gen toasted again.
After everyone finished drinking, Wu Gen stood up, looked at the colorful fireworks in the sky in the distance, listened to the sound of firecrackers one after another, and smelled the aroma of wine floating in the distance. After a while, he said, "This cup, for We congratulate ourselves, wishing you peace and prosperity every year, and good flowers and a full moon." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all, but his expression was a little sad.
"The cup is too small, please change it to a bigger bowl." Niu Chao said noisily from the side. Seeing Wu Gen's eyes, he quickly added, "Old Wu, don't worry, Mr. Niu won't scold anyone today. Those who are scolded are dogs." .”
Wu Gen smiled slightly and asked people to change the bowls. Everyone drank and drank, and it was very lively for a while.
When they were having fun, Wu Gen took Gao Han's hand and walked to the railing, putting it on her neck so that she could see the scenery in the distance clearly. Picking up a bowl of wine, looking at the distant fireworks and the lights of the Star Bridge, Wu Gen gestured towards the direction of Hanlu City in the north and drank the glass.
The old things come to an end and the flowers bloom in the new year. Farewell, fireworks every year.
The next day, Wu Gen, who was drunk, was resting when someone suddenly came to report that Yu Hao was visiting. Wu Gen rubbed his aching head. He really didn't know how much he drank yesterday. When he got excited, he simply ran downstairs and drank with those who were watching the singing and dancing of Yunyuntang.
, dissatisfied, ran to the street again, and refused to refuse anyone who came to propose a toast, until he fell unconscious.
After taking a sip of the hangover soup sent by Gao Han, Wu Gen met the director of the Dengtian Palace Campus Affairs Office in the main hall. She was brought here under the escort of Soji and others.
Yes, because Huhu Lala flew to Liangzhe Mountain with more than a hundred hawks, which made the Yifu army think that someone was coming to attack, so they dispatched urgently to stop the opponent.
"Wu Gen, you're fine." Yu Hao looked at Wu Gen standing in the hall with a smile.
Seeing this woman dressed as a man again, Wu Gen laughed loudly, opened his arms and stepped forward to give her a hug, "Bro, it's been a long time, I miss you so much."
Yu Hao calmly avoided Wu Gen and put a folding fan against Wu Gen's forehead, "Young master, now you are very majestic, commanding such a large army and horses, and becoming a king in the mountains. Someone is kind enough to send a guard bird here. , and in the end, he was taken over like a thief."
"Huh?" This folding fan looked familiar. Wu Gen smiled slightly, turned away, glanced at Suoji secretly, and asked silently, "How much."
"One hundred and twenty." Suoji also said silently.
Wu Gen had an idea in his mind, and his face suddenly changed. He said angrily to Suo Ji: "How dare you be so rude to the distinguished guest. Come over and apologize quickly. Didn't a hot spring be discovered in the mountain? I will punish you for bathing with the distinguished guest." .”
"Wu Gen, please stop telling lies and can we talk alone." Yu Hao was really helpless. This man was also a general who commanded thousands of troops. Why was he still acting so naughty?
Wu Gen knew that Yu Hao was not here just for chatting, so he asked Suoji and others to exit, leaving only the two of them in the house.
"Wu Gen
, this quick glance from the air, you actually have such a big foundation. The troops are strong and the horses are strong, the city is high and the trenches are deep, and there are large and small military forts set up along the mountains to guard the dangerous passes. It can be said that with the good cover of the mountains, no province can do anything about the fearless army. It is gratifying. " Yuhao picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
"Brothers paid for these with their lives. I said you can't fly over my mountain next time, or you will be shot as a thief by your subordinates." Wu Gen stared at the other party with a smile, seeing that the other party gave away more than a hundred birds. Under such circumstances, Yu Hao's behavior of secretly spying on military affairs was ignored.
"I heard that Zhang You has been looking for you." Yu Hao suddenly asked.
Wu Gen raised his eyebrows and stared at the other person meaningfully, "I searched for it. Mingzheng brought it. I wonder if you can give me some advice."
"Do you know who he is?" Yuhao asked bluntly.
"Elder Mo Aotang."
"Haha, this elder of his is just a sinecure and has no real power. To tell you the truth, do you know that the Liangxi Villages scattered all over the Bailing Province were founded by his great-grandfather." Yuhao said with a look of disdain. Playing with the folding fan in his hand.
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment. When he was talking to Zhang Daochang in Liangxi Village, he mentioned that this talented ancestor was actually related to Zhang You.
"After his great-grandfather, Zhang You worked hard several times and finally became the second person in the Zhang family to become an elder. However, due to his origin, he has always been weak in the Dengtian Palace, so he thought of fighting. Return to the territory of the human race and rebuild the family. In Kuntian Continent, no matter how hard he works, he will always be a second-rate existence.
This person is greedy for fame and takes face very seriously. It is okay to have contact with him, but you must be on guard against being caught by him.
use. Yuhao's eloquent talk solved a doubt that had troubled Wu Gen for such a long time, which was why Zhang You came to find him.
"Haha, don't you just like to be held up by others? It's easy to say that there are many people in our fearless army who are good at this. In the end, we don't know who is using whom." Wu Gen sneered again and again. What's so great about having high cultivation and high status? , as long as there are weaknesses, it’s easy to say.
Yuhao looked at Wu Gen and was speechless for a moment, but she had forgotten that the person in front of her was a master of this way. With Zhang You's temperament, she would not be fooled by him.
"Wu Gen, now that the foundation has been established, we should start attacking Bailing Province." Yu Hao suddenly stood up.
