The size of the Gunpowder Army is now close to 100,000, in addition to the original 30,000 horses, there is also the Cao Ang Guards who came all the way from Chang'an, these 40,000 soldiers are the most well-trained and equipped troops in the Gunpowder Army.

With this army in hand, Yuan Yun felt a lot more down-to-earth in his heart, after all, these soldiers were all fierce soldiers who had gone through several major battles, and the comparison of combat power, I am afraid that no army in this era can match each other.

And another reason for happiness is that with the arrival of this group of guards, this brother also came, he was the last group of people to arrive, and his arrival also represented the arrival of all the 40,000 guards in Yong'an County.

In addition to being happy to see Dianman, another thing that made Yuan Yun happy was that since Cao Ang dared to hand over this strongest force to him Yuan Yun, there was no problem in the relationship of trust, and those worries about him before were gone with the wind.

"Cai Mao's navy has completely swept the upstream area, this time he did his best, and even cleared some Liu Bei's deployments on both sides of the strait, so the waterway to Jiangzhou is safe." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he shook the folding fan in his hand very complacently.

Yuan Yun saw that Guo Jia was so happy, and immediately apologized and thanked: "Before, Guo Jia's military division asked me how to deal with Cai Mao, this method is indeed very powerful, Cai Mao is estimated to be full of war spirit now, so I plan to completely release the safety of the back waterway to him." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded: "Although Cai Mao is a philistine, he is indeed a fierce general in commanding the water army, and he should be able to rest assured that he helps Yuan Xiaoxian stick to the waterways of the river." ”

After speaking, Guo Jia paused slightly, then pointed to the rows of transport ships and said, "Are we planning to enter Jiangzhou through the waterway soldiers?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "It is indeed planned to do so, but in order to ensure absolute safety, the cavalry regiment of the Gunpowder Army will go across the strait." ”

Guo Jia was very satisfied with Yuan Yun's answer, so he smiled heartily and said: "I said it a long time ago, Yuan Xiaoxianjun has Zhuge Kongming, Pang Shiyuan, Xu Ziyuan in Chinese, Wu has Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and now there is one more pawn, there is really no enemy that I Guo Fengxiao can worry about at all, so this time I don't plan to go with the army, but help Yuan Xiaoxian's town guard Yong'an County, with me here, logistics and supplies should be worry-free." ”

When Yuan Yun heard Guo Jia say this, he didn't show relief, but his face was suspicious, and he was puzzled for a long time: "Guo Jia's military division stayed in Yong'an County, I'm afraid it's not just for me to guard the back road, right?" Now that there is General Cao Hong in Xiangyang, Jiangling County is guarded by the rifle battalion in Luoyang, and Yong'an County can be said to be surrounded by our army, so why should Guo Jiajun personally stay behind? ”

Guo Jia squinted at Yuan Yun for a while, and finally sighed: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent Chen Qun to come over first, I won't stay to deal with this person, if he goes to the front line in Yizhou, I'm afraid Yuan Xiaoxian will have a headache." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then waved the horsewhip in his hand twice in the air, and finally said fiercely: "Sometimes I really don't understand, I just want to capture Yizhou as soon as possible, so as to return the world to peace, why does Prime Minister Cao always deliberately make some things out to obstruct, if he really doesn't want to unify the world, tell me earlier, I will return to my hometown now, and I will not ask these rights and wrongs." ”

Guo Jia saw that he was venting there, and he didn't seem to have any displeasure, and dared to say directly in front of him that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was not, and Yuan Yun had already regarded Guo Jia as his own, because it was absolutely impossible to say these words to others.

After Yuan Yun vented, Guo Jiacai said leisurely: "The so-called royal majesty is not just to call and drink to his subordinates, but more importantly, let them restrain each other and contain each other, this is the thinking of the superior, Yuan Hou is in the top position all the year round, these truths should not need me to teach it, the reason why Chen Qun was sent over is because he does not deal with Luoyang, so that he can restrain the gunpowder army to the greatest extent, and can also play a role in supervision, because if you send General Xiahoudun or Xu Chu over, They will only mingle with Yuan Hou, which is not what Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to see.

Chen Qun will inevitably cause a lot of trouble to the gunpowder army here, which Cao Cheng naturally has a plan, but measuring the combat power of the gunpowder army, Chen Qun's constraints will not lead to an unfavorable battle situation, so under this premise, sending a thorn to Yuan Hou's side is the best choice. ”

Yuan Yun is actually venting, after all, he has always been entangled in various things these days, which has led to a rise in his temper, and when he vents it at this moment, he will be calm, and at this moment, listening to Guo Jia call him Yuan Hou again, it naturally means that the other party is very cautious about this matter, not just joking.

After patiently listening to Guo Jia's words, Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "Since Chen Qun is coming, then he can only trouble Guo Jia's military division to block a gear, after all, the tactics adopted by our gunpowder army this time are very abnormal, if Chen Qun appears, he can raise objections and even obstruct it, but as long as Guo Jiajun's division drags him on for some time, when our gunpowder army wins a few victories and proves that this method is very effective, he is unable to stop it, so I hope that Guo Jiajun's division can drag Chen Qun for half a month, and it is best to wait for me to defeat Jiangzhou." ”

Guo Jia smiled, nodded and said: "This can naturally be hugged on me, although Yuan Xiaoxian let go of his arms to do it, Chen Qun is nothing in my eyes, even if he drags him for a month, it is not difficult to do." ”

After bidding farewell to Guo Jia, Yuan Yun had already boarded the warship, and soon the flagbearer who put on it sent a signal, hundreds of big ships lifted anchor one after another, and then began to swim upstream, and both sides of the river were full of dust, and the Hu cavalry led by Zhao Yun also began to march at the same time, and the scene suddenly seemed very grand.

As soon as the big ship entered the channel, Xu You's figure appeared beside Yuan Yun, and he saw this old man with a smile on his face, looking at the countless ships on the river, nodding his head in admiration, but unfortunately his literary style was average, otherwise he would definitely compose a poem.

Looking at Xu You's appearance, Yuan Yun asked with some puzzlement: "Why is Old Man Ziyuan so happy, we are going to Jiangzhou to fight at the moment, it is not something to be happy about." ”

Xu You shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly, and then replied: "First of all, the old man can already see the appearance of the unification of the world, and secondly, this trip to Yizhou, the old man feels that he will make a windfall, so he naturally needs to be happy." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and wondered again: "Where is the windfall?" ”

Xu You smiled and replied: "Yuan Hou's Mrs. Yiyi returned to Luoyang because she was pregnant, so she entrusted the business of this time to the old man, the old man didn't care about it before, but after seeing those account books, he smacked his tongue, if this war wealth is not a windfall, then what is it."

Tut-tut, I don't want to transport loot to the soldiers, just by drawing one percent, you can earn so much, after the battle of Yong'an, just by transporting the spoils for the soldiers, the Yuan Mansion got more than 5,000 dividends, this is just a small fortune, Mrs. Yiyi also bought several plots of land in Yong'an, and just sold them to General Cao Hong to earn 30,000 yuan, and ......"

Yuan Yun listened to Xu You's recitation of Liu Yiyi's 'evil deeds' like an endorsement, and only felt a headache, her mother-in-law was indeed the most powerful boss lady in the world, and through the money she poured out of her hands, she had become a pillar of the Yuan Mansion over the years.

But thinking about it like this, Yuan Yun became happy again in an instant, he married such a wife who can make money from the family, no matter how he said it, he made a lot of money, and he didn't have to worry about the accumulation of capital in the family, and even if it swelled very fast, no one would say anything gossip about him, the head of the Yuan family, after all, it was all run by the mother-in-law of the family, and in this era of no distinction between public and private, others only have envy.

"Ahem, cough, most of my Yuan Mansion's property has been invested in the construction of Luoyang, this is not far away, right?"

Xu You laughed louder when he heard this, and after a while, he continued: "What was invested in Luoyang has become shares, and naturally there was only input and no output at the beginning, but this is not the case now, Luoyang is now like a behemoth, even if Yuan Hou is a hair, it is also a huge amount of money, at this point, no one in the world dares to bet like Yuan Hou, and he is right......"

Yuan Yun didn't wait for Xu You to finish speaking, and then interrupted a little impatiently: "Old man Ziyuan is telling me such things at this moment, is he warning me again, don't be too greedy, otherwise it will definitely cause something bad, yes or no?" ”

Xu You was stunned when he heard Yuan Yun answer like this, but soon laughed again, and then shook his head and said: "Yuan Hou is afraid that the old man is wrong this time, the old man wants Yuan Hou to also get some money-making for the Xu family, this time to help Mrs. Yiyi take care of this war money, although he got a dividend of 20%, but the old man felt that it could not be used, it was better to even if our Xu family's investment accounted for a little dividend in the industry of the Yuan Mansion, as for how much Yuan Hou gave, the old man didn't care at all, as long as there was it." ”

Yuan Yun was completely stunned now, Xu You had always advised himself not to go too far in Luoyang's affairs, but now he told him the opposite, as if he was very encouraged to continue to fight for more assets in Luoyang.

Xu You was originally a very smart person, and when he saw Yuan Yun's surprised eyes, he already understood a lot, so he explained with a smile: "Hasn't Yuan Hou heard of King Qin's old story? Of course, you need to be cautious in terms of rights, but there is no need for money, before the old man persuaded Yuan Hou to give up control of the intelligence unit of the beggar gang, it is because the rights involved in it are too big, if it is not in the hands of the prince, it will eventually bring a lot of disadvantages, but it is different in terms of money, the more Yuan Hou has assets in Luoyang, the more the prince will rest assured Yuan Hou, after all, with so many assets, everyone will be careful, for fear that they will make mistakes, such people will naturally behave in a good manner, which makes people feel at ease. ”

Yuan Yun was said by Xu You, and immediately agreed in his heart, but he replied in his mouth: "In this way, I should release all the assets of Luoyang, or I will not be able to get involved in this thing, and I will really not be able to live in the future." ”

Xu You was taken aback for a moment and said, "Does Yuan Hou still have plans to be disobedient?" ”

Yuan Yun hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Old man Ziyuan misunderstood, I just want to live a leisurely life, if it is really like the old man said, every day I have to sit restless for those assets, then I would rather not."

After the end of this western expedition, I really planned to have a good rest, and I also informed Cao Ang Shizi through the flying pigeon biography, and Shizi also agreed, but asked me not to leave Luoyang for ten years. ”

When Xu You heard this, his old eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Seeing Xu Yu like this, Yuan Yun immediately laughed and said, "Old man Ziyuan still wants to participate in Yuan's business now?" ”

Xu You was silent for a moment, and finally replied resolutely: "The old man still does not change his purpose, if Yuan Hou is willing to give up a share, the old man will immediately draw a bet, and the old man will bet on the friendship between the prince and Yuan Hou. ”

Seeing that Xu You had made such a difficult choice, Yuan Yun smiled heartily, and then pointed to the front of Dajiang, and said, "Those are all later words, at this moment we have only one purpose, that is, to unify the world!" ”
