The day is getting brighter, and the people who have slept all night don't know what happened last night, the merchants are still opening shops to sell goods, and business is going on as usual, only the people who live near the palace feel a little abnormal, but what happened is not clear.

The fourth son of the king of Zhao, Li Jun, was not at the city gate yesterday, he went out hunting with a group of fox friends and dog friends under the pretext of going out of the city in advance, Li Yu did not take him to heart, in fact, no one in the palace took him to heart, and no one cared about his life or death.

But in the matter of taking Li Jun back, the Wei Chi brothers had a conflict.

Wei Chiqing was short-tempered, and when he heard that he was going to support Li Jun as the master, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Our Wei Chi family is an upright Lingnan wealthy family, can't we be the lord of Lingnan?" I also want to bow down to the person who only knows how to drink and play with women, and even looks down on dogs, my Wei Chiqing is not so cheap! ”

Yu Chihu said angrily: "I don't want to make him the master, but we have to face the reality, Li Si has been operating in Lingnan for more than ten years, and he has won the hearts of the people, and our Wei Chi family only has 5,000 directly subordinate troops, but we have a little influence in Hezhou and Fuzhou, and we have no influence in Guangzhou, so we can only use Li Si's son to let us stand firm, besides, is it not good for Li Jun to drink and play with women?" Do you want him to be wise and martial to be satisfied? Then our Weichi family still has a chance to fart? ”

Wei Chihu's brother-in-law, the general Huang Jixiang persuaded on the side: "Second brother, don't be so angry, the so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there are still Luo Huaiqing's 5,000 troops in Zengcheng, Liu Changji also went to him, Xinhui also has Zeng Jinghai's 2,000 troops, these people keep saying that they support the Li family, but in fact they are all ambitious, we control Li Jun, in fact, we have mastered morality, and those people do not dare to act rashly, either evacuate Guangzhou, or have to listen to Li Jun's orders." ”

Wei Chiqing bowed his head for a long time and said: "It's okay to support Li Jun, but I have a condition, when Li Jun is used up, hand him over to me, and I will personally cut him with a thousand knives, out of my heart." ”

Yu Chihu smiled and said: "Yes, even if you use his head as a urinal, it's up to you!" ”

........

Surrounded by a thousand soldiers, Li Jun entered the city in a nervous mood, he knew very well in his heart that Yu Chihu had seized Nanhai County, and he just regarded himself as a puppet, but he had no choice, if he didn't want to die, he had to obediently obey Yu Chihu's orders.

At this time, Wei Chihu led a large group of officers to meet him, knelt down on one knee and said: "Inferior lieutenant Chihu, see the new scripture envoy!" ”

Li Jun was a little at a loss, and Wang Jian, a staff member of Wei Chihu next to him, reminded him: "You just said that General Wei Chi has worked hard, and you have to rely on it more in the future!" ”

Li Jun nodded, and his voice trembled a little: "General Wei Chi.... Hard work, later.... In the future, I will have to rely on the generals a lot! ”

Yu Chihu grinned, "The envoy has an order, how dare Wei Chi disobey, please let the envoy get in the car, we want the people of the whole city to admire the envoy's demeanor!" ”

Li Jun didn't dare to disobey, so he had to get into a wagon, the tall lieutenant Chi Hu stood behind him, and Li Jun was very thin and dry, thousands of soldiers surrounded the carriage and paraded the streets of the city, but the attitude of the people in the city was very cold, although there were many people on the street, but no one cheered, more people just shook their heads and walked away, Li Jun actually did not wear filial piety for his father, and the person behind him was clearly a vicious tiger.

Wei Chihu didn't care about the attitude of the people, he just wanted the people of Lingnan to know that the current Lingnan Economic Strategy Envoy was Li Jun, but the real master of Lingnan was him Wei Chihu.

.........

All this happened ten days ago, when the situation in Guangzhou gradually calmed down, and 30,000 Jin troops arrived at Lingdingyang in 200 ships.

In the night, Kang Bao stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sea in the north, Li Yang stepped forward and said, "Is the general worried about the situation in Lingnan?" ”

Kang Bao shook his head, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by His Highness, how many water troops are there in Guangzhou?" ”

Li Yang smiled slightly: "The characteristics of the Guangzhou Navy are that there are many warships and few soldiers, in Panyu, Bao'an and Xinhui, there are at least three hundred warships of more than 2,000 stones, and hundreds of patrol boats, but the Guangzhou Navy is only two thousand people, commanded by the Zhonglang General Zeng Jinghai, Zeng Jinghai is very loyal to my father, I can find him." ”

"Why are there so few sailors in Guangzhou?" Kang Bao asked, puzzled.

Li Yang thought for a while and explained: "There are many reasons for this, but there are two main reasons, one is that during the Anshi Rebellion, 200,000 Persians and cannibals sacked Guangzhou, which hit Guangzhou's overseas trade hard, and it has not been restored.

Another reason is that the threat of Lingnan Jinglufu mainly comes from the north, and there are many local wealthy families like the Wei Chi family in various places, and there are rebellions one after another, so our troops are mainly to quell the rebellion, and the naval army is only responsible for exterminating the coastal pirates, and 2,000 people are enough. ”

Kang Bao frowned, "Aren't the warships all abandoned?" ”

"Repair it well, it should still work, after all, they are not old ships."

As he was talking, a sentinel ship approached from a distance, and it was Li Yang's subordinate who had sent him to inquire about the news........

In the cabin, Kang Bao and several important civil officials and generals listened to the report on the situation in Nanhai County, Li Yang sat down dejectedly, and held his forehead with his hand in pain, his brother Li Yu was killed by Wei Chiqing, but he promised to take care of his younger brother before his mother died, but he was killed, how could he go to see his dead parents?

Li Yang finally choked up and shed tears, Kang Bao looked at him sympathetically, and said softly for a while: "I completely understand your feelings, but the deceased is gone, and we living people can only comfort the soul of the deceased by severely punishing the murderer!" ”

Li Yang wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "If you catch Yu Chiqing, let me kill him with my own hands!" ”

"Yes, I will give him to you, and if he dies in battle, I will also give you his head."

Kang Bao encouraged Li Yang, and then said to everyone: "Now there are three soldiers and horses, one is the army of Wei Chihu in Nanhai and Panyu, one is the army of Luo Huaiqing in Zengcheng, and the other is the army of Zeng Jinghai in Xinhui. ”

Li Yang said calmly: "Go find Zeng Jinghai, he has followed his father for more than ten years and has been loyal, since his father is buried in the imperial court, then he should support the imperial court, I will personally go to him." ”

Kang Bao shook his head, "Childe doesn't have to take risks, Childe can take a token and let his entourage go to him, if he is loyal, he will come to see Childe." ”

Li Yang pondered for a moment, then found a piece of jade pendant from his father's relics, handed it to his entourage, and said: "This jade pendant was given to my father by Zeng Jinghai, and he knew it at a glance, and it can be used as a token." ”

Li Yang immediately wrote another letter and handed it to his entourage, and the two entourages went to Xinhui by boat.

.........

Li Yang was in a low mood, he almost didn't sleep all night, he didn't even eat breakfast in the morning, he and his brother had a very deep relationship, his brother was killed and he cried all night, and at the same time he was also worried about the fate of his wife and concubines, would Yu Chihu let them go?

Combo walked to the bow of the boat, sat down beside him, and handed him a hot meatloaf, "Eat whatever you want!" Otherwise, if war breaks out, how will you avenge your brother? ”

Li Yang took the meatloaf and gnawed it slowly, he sighed again: "I now understand why my father dragged his sick body to Chang'an, he is not in good health, I know that our brothers can't hold Lingnan, and dedicating Lingnan to the imperial court is also a way out for our brothers, if he doesn't go to Chang'an, I'm afraid our brothers will be killed and killed by Wei Chihu and others." ”

Kang Bao was silent for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that the more border areas, the easier it is to be independent and divided, if the court is laissez-faire, it will not be able to explain to the descendants in the future, this is the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Jin decisively sent troops to Lingnan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin hopes that after we are officials in Guangzhou, we should also pay attention to the unity of all ethnic groups, maintain the authority of the imperial court and the integrity of the territory, I hope you and I will encourage each other!" ”

In the afternoon of the next day, the two entourages sent back first, and he brought good news that Li Yang's wife and children were all in Xinhui County, and they were brought out of the palace by Zeng Jinghai, which made Li Yang cry with joy.

Another day later, Zeng Jinghai took a thousand-stone warship to the anchorage of the fleet, Zeng Jinghai was a native of Yuzhou, his original name was Zeng Shuilang, and after following Li Si to Guangzhou, Li Si renamed him Zeng Jinghai and let him lead the naval army.

Zeng Jinghai knew that he couldn't fight the head snake Wei Chi family, so when he heard that the eldest prince was coming with the imperial army, he was overjoyed and came to defect without hesitation.

Li Yang's family was finally reunited, and Kang Bao received Zeng Jinghai very politely, what they are most lacking now are naval talents, this Zeng Jinghai came too timely.
