Murongde set up water forts near the rivers in Zhu'a and Jibei counties to maintain order on the river and prevent Wei and Jin troops from attacking along the Yellow River.
Whether it's Wei, Yan, Qin, Liang or other northern countries, they don't pay much attention to the navy.
There are no large warships in the three water villages. They are mostly sailing boats, walking boats, and bridge boats. There are not even many fighting boats and stern boats, let alone building boats.
The merchant ships on the river were constantly coming and going, and the water forts rarely intercepted them. Yang Anxuan considered that the stern ships were used by the military, so he asked Zong to propose remodeling the appearance of the two stern ships so that they would not look much different from cargo ships.
Setting off for the return trip in early September, 200 horses were loaded into two large cargo ships, with cluttered cargo piled on the decks so as not to attract attention.
Starting from Feiru County, it takes one day with a favorable wind to reach the port of Ye County, Donglai County, Nanyan. Along the way, there were constant ships and land wars, and the maritime trade route gradually became prosperous.
Yang Anxuan did not go with the ship, but landed in Ye County, disguised as a traveling scholar, to see the customs and customs under Murong De's rule.
At first, Murong De followed the advice of Shangshu Pan Cong, abandoned the sliding platform, crossed the Yellow River, settled Yanzhou, captured Langya, occupied Jucheng, defeated Piluhun, the governor of Jin Youzhou, and settled in Guanggu.
When leaving the slip platform, Murong De only brought a small number of Xianbei tribesmen with him. In order to gain a firm foothold, Murong De strictly ordered the army not to loot. As a result, he was welcomed by the people, and Qing and Yan counties surrendered.
After stationing in Guanggu, Murongde united and reused the local Han gentry. The Bohai Feng family, Feng Fu, Feng Kai, Feng Chuang and their uncles and nephews were all in charge of secrets. Ju Zhong and Pan Cong both held high positions, and the Han gentry were reused.
After landing, Yang Anxuan first took Zhang Feng to Huang County to pay homage to the famous Soochow general Tai Shici.
On the way, Zhang Feng listened to Yang Anxuan's story about Taishi Ci's kindness to the north, the fierce battle with Sun Ce, and the stability of the southeast. His expression was so excited that he could not restrain himself.
Finally, after listening to Taishi Ci's last message, "A real man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." Zhang Feng said with emotion: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to follow Taishi Ci's example to open up the territory and expand the territory for the Lord, without seeking for success." I hope I can repay my lord for my unparalleled merit."
Zhang Feng has been with Yang Anxuan for six years, growing from a dark and skinny child to a strong young man. Known as a master and servant, he is actually a master, apprentice, and brother. Zhang Feng studied literature and martial arts with Yang Anxuan and grew rapidly.
Zhang Feng is smart and gets along well with people around Yang Anxuan. He often runs errands for Yang Anxuan. Because of his adoptive father Zhao Tian, Zhang Feng was very popular in the army and learned martial arts. He always thought that he could make achievements on the battlefield like his adoptive father in the future.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, the battle has to be fought. Learn more now and you will be useful in the future."
After visiting Tai Shici's hometown, he strolled all the way to Guanggu City. Yang Anxuan found that he was very respected for his scholar's green shirt. Traffickers and servants would bow to him when they met him, and he was treated courteously when staying in hotels and eating. Yang Anxuan secretly sighed. , the hometown of Confucius and Mencius is indeed different from other places.
Hu Qi went south, and the land of Qingyan was successively occupied by Later Zhao, Former Yan, and Former Qin. Fu Jian praised Confucianism and rewarded culture and education, which won the hearts of the people of Qingyan.
After the Feishui War, the Eastern Jin Dynasty regained its lost territory, but taxes increased, and the people did not have a high sense of identity with the Jin Dynasty.
After Murong De seized the land of Qingyan, he promoted Confucianism, treated the local gentry favorably, lived with the people, and gained the support of the people.
Guanggu City is less than five miles in circumference and was built by Cao Yi in the Western Jin Dynasty. "It was named Guanggu City because there was a large and wide stream and it was thought to be solid."
Yang Anxuan led Zhang Feng into Guanggu City and found business signs fluttering on both sides of the street, cars and horses flowing endlessly, pedestrians smiling, and a happy and prosperous scene.
I found an inn to stay at. The innkeeper saw Yang Anxuan's green shirt and welcomed him warmly. When he took Yang Anxuan to his residence, he even asked politely: "Where does Mr. Lang come from?"
When he learned that Yang Anxuan was from Donghai County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile: "Lang Jun is here to enroll in school. Your Majesty has appointed academic officials to recruit imperial students. During this time, many people like Lang Jun came to take the exam."
Yang Anxuan asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that students would be selected from among the princes and second-grade nobles?"
The waiter said: "The king doesn't know something. Pan Shangshu reported to the king that Qingyan is the hometown of saints. The seeds of reading are here."
There are countless, so we might as well take fifty students from among the humble scholars. The king readily agreed. On September 15th, the king will personally go to Taixue to examine the students and recruit students. There are at least two to three hundred students from poor families who came here these days to hear the news, and several of them live in our store alone. "
While they were talking, two scholars in green shirts walked side by side from the corridor. When they saw Yang Anxuan, they stopped and bowed to him. Yang Anxuan smiled in return and passed by.
At the time of Shenshi, these two scholars came to visit and talked with Yang Anxuan about literature and Taoism. In the next few days, Yang Anxuan, whose pseudonym was Qi Xuan, followed these two people to participate in elegant gatherings and poetry gatherings, and got to know many scholars from poor families who came to apply for recruitment.
Looking at these poor scholars talking excitedly, Yang Anxuan remembered the Jieshui Communist Party organized by Yin Dun when he was in Xinye. There were so many poor people in the world, how difficult it was to make progress. Murong De promoted Confucianism and treated the scholars well. With time, he might be able to Collect the hearts of the scholars in Qingyan.
Yang Anxuan only happened to be there to watch the excitement. When he attended the party, he was only obedient and did not express any opinions. He was gradually looked down upon by those impassioned scholars.
The two scholars Dong and Han who first got acquainted with him learned that he was from a humble background and no longer came to invite him to marry him. Yang Anxuan didn't take it seriously, but Zhang Feng was furious and scolded him a few times, "You look down on people."
On September 15th, the Taixue Gate in the east of Guanggu City was crowded with people, and many students, Chen Chu, were waiting in front of the gate.
At the end of the morning, oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages arrived in an endless stream. The nobles in rich attire stepped out of the carts and walked proudly into the Imperial College. These people were the Imperial College students who had been selected in advance.
The eyes of the poor scholar were filled with anger and envy, and he wished he could replace it with his own body.
Yang Anxuan and Zhang Feng each held two biscuits in their hands, munching on the delicious food while watching the excitement behind the crowd.
The fragrance attracted the attention of many people. Some people snorted with disdain and stayed away.
At this moment, the sound of drum music came from far away, and Murong De came. Yang Anxuan retreated to the side of the road and paid attention to Murong De's walking stick.
The flags were led in front, with civil and military forces clearing the way, guards guarding the left and right, and flags of various colors flying on both sides; Murong De rode a chariot pulled by six horses, with a vermilion lacquer wheel painted with a deer head and dragon body pattern; thirty spokes, red oilcloth Tie to both ends of the axle...
This is the emperor's ride, Yang Anxuan secretly thought in his heart, it seems that the King of Yan can't wait to proclaim himself emperor.
"Monkeys wear crowns." A crisp message came to his ears. Yang Anxuan had an extraordinary ear and turned his eyes towards the place where the sound came from.
The speaker was a young man with a pink face and red lips. There was a young man with a weak head next to him who was glaring at him. He probably realized that he had made a mistake, so the young man stuck out his tongue playfully.
When the young man saw Yang Anxuan looking at him, his face hardened and he held his hands in greeting. The young man huddled behind the young man and made a face at Yang Anxuan.
Yang Anxuan smiled slightly, returned the salute, and turned back.
The car battle was so majestic that it took half a stick of incense to complete. Murongde got off the bus in front of the Imperial College gate and entered the Imperial College accompanied by the officials.
A quarter of an hour later, an attendant came out and stood in front of the steps, shouting loudly: "The scholars taking the examination should line up in two rows and file in."
Yang Anxuan saw that although Murong De had the reputation of being a courteous and virtuous corporal, he was very ostentatious. It was obvious that he did not treat the scholar sincerely, so he said to Zhang Feng: "Let's go."
The young man was still standing next to Yang Anxuan. When he saw Yang Anxuan turning around, he said in surprise: "Brother, why don't you come in and give it a try."
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "After seeing what I saw, I returned home exhausted."
The young man said with a serious face: "You are just trying to be mysterious. I think you are empty in your stomach and don't dare to see anyone."
Zhang Feng said angrily: "You kid, what are you talking nonsense? My husband has only learned a lot..."
Yang Anxuan stopped Zhang Feng, bowed to the young man, and left calmly.
Behind me, I heard the young man scolding the young man in a low voice, "Sixth brother, if you cause trouble again, I will not take you out next time."...
After leaving Guanggu City, we traveled all the way to Taishan County and prepared to climb Mount Tai.
Dongyue Mount Tai rises from the plains, with the sea to the east and the Yellow River to the west. It is so majestic that the first emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty all came to offer sacrifices.
In his previous life, Yang Anxuan had climbed Mount Tai many times. He stood at the top and looked around, looking at the blue sky.
The vast sea of clouds remains the same, feeling that things have changed and people have changed, and sadness comes from my heart.
Zhang Feng, who was beside him, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and said with emotion: "I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the mountains at a glance. Only today can I understand the meaning of the poem."
Yang Anxuan secretly laughed, but it was a pity that Taishan was missing the song "When you stand at the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains at a glance", so it was greatly eclipsed.
"What a poem, what a poem. I wonder if it is your husband's masterpiece." A clear voice came from the right.
Yang Anxuan turned around and saw that it was the pair of brothers he met in front of Guanggu Imperial College.
It was the young man who praised the good poem, but the expression on his face was sarcastic. He had obviously heard of this poem.
This poem was read by Yang Anxuan on Fenghuang Mountain in Jiyang City, and it has long been circulated.
Zhang Feng saw the young man's expression and said angrily: "Of course this poem was written by my husband."
The young man pretended to hold up his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, could this be the famous Yang Xiaochuang?"
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had made a mistake. Yang Anxuan was the Tinghou of the Jin Dynasty. He was afraid of inconvenience if his identity was revealed in the Yan Kingdom and someone knew about it.
Seeing Zhang Feng in a daze, the young man became more reasonable and mocked, "It's a great honor for me to be able to meet Yang Xiaochuang. Yang Xiaochuang is good at poetry. Please write a poem for this beautiful scenery."
The young man shouted: "Sixth brother, please don't be rude." He bowed to Yang Anxuan and said, "I'm rude to you, but I hope you can forgive me."
Yang Anxuan saw that the young man had a beautiful appearance and a bit of weakness in his behavior, so he suspected that he was a woman.
Suddenly excited, looking at the sea of clouds in the mountains, Yang Anxuan roared: "The clouds are moving like the wind, and they are as rustling as feathers."
Yang Anxuan looked at the young man, smiled and said, "How is it?"
The young man recited it silently and praised in surprise: "A good poem, full of momentum and excitement, it is really a good poem."
The young man's eyes flickered, and he was obviously moved by these two sentences, but he refused to admit defeat and said, "What's the use of just saying a few sentences? If you have the ability to read out the entire poem."
Yang Anxuan laughed heartily, took a step forward towards the sea of clouds in the mountains, and recited loudly: "I have been fasting for three thousand days, and I have written sutras. I have gained from reciting, and the gods have protected my form. The clouds are moving and the wind is rustling. If the wings are born, you can climb up the cliff to see the sun, and look down at the threshold to peer into the eastern sky. The color of the sea is moving in the distant mountains, and the rooster has already crowed. The silver platform has an inverted view, and the white waves are rolling over the long whale. I have found the elixir and flew high to Pengying. "
The wind is rolling and the clouds are calming, the mountain breeze is blowing the green shirt, flying fiercely, and Yang Anxuan seems to be riding the wind away.
