After Jiang Yan was worshiped as Navy Commander and General of Buildings and Ships, the atmosphere in the hall changed obviously and became more relaxed, and the Tianji Sect seemed to be much more attentive. Even what Yunfeng implemented in Qinliang Prefecture was originally scornful of.

A series of policies, such as the abolition of slavery, the unified management of household registration by the county government, and the allocation of land, etc., all actively expressed strong support, with an obvious meaning of reciprocating kindness.

For Tianji Sect, these are just trivial matters, and there is no need to fight against Yunfeng. What they care about is to dominate the temple and hold the most important weapon of the country!

During this trip to Tianji Sect, Tianji Sect has hope of re-emerging. Yunfeng has obtained the talents to train the navy, and at the same time he has reached a tacit understanding with the other party to seek common ground while reserving differences. It can be said that everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy.

Early the next morning, as soon as Yunfeng arrived at Junya, he issued a transfer order, appointing Dou Tao as the governor of Hanzhong County, paying homage to General Hengjiang, and escorting over 50 million yuan. Although he paid homage to Jiang Yan as the naval commander, he could not

Political affairs and the infantry and cavalry will not be left in the hands of the Tianji Sect. If the Tianji Sect wants to enter politics, they must pass the exam. On this point, Yunfeng will not make any concessions.

Immediately afterwards, Yunfeng sent someone to re-register the household registration and measure the land. Only then did he have some free time. He was thinking about why Zhuge Fei hadn't come yet. Did he forget that he had to go to work today? The thought just came up, but he saw

Zhuge Fei hurried over with the support of two maids.

"Girl, the general has arrived!" the maid reminded in a low voice.

This was Zhuge Fei's first day at work, and she didn't arrive earlier than Yunfeng. She couldn't help but blush slightly. It turned out that she spent all her time on dressing up. She spent half a day just on dressing and makeup.

hour!

Arriving in the hall, Zhuge Fei said loudly: "General, please forgive me, I'm late."

Yun Feng took a quick glance and was slightly surprised. Today, Zhuge Fei is both beautiful and capable, and elegant and graceful. It seems that a lot of thought has been put into it. He couldn't help but smile: "Haha, it doesn't matter, he is the future."

It's too early, Miss Zhuge, there is no need to be too particular, please sit down as you please."

Zhuge Fei sat down at the foot of Yunfeng and saluted: "Thank you, general. I wonder if the army's money and food books can be taken out so that I can have a look at them?"

This woman deliberately kept a secret. She did not call herself a subordinate, just to test Yunfeng's attitude towards her. As her two personal maids, as her confidants, of course they also understood their girls' thoughts, secretly using the corners of their eyes.

He was observing Yunfeng from the corner of his eye.

Yunfeng seemed not to have noticed, and nodded: "Miss Zhuge, please wait for a moment." Then he ordered the personal guards to move out the piles of books, and the maid held up a book and read it to her in a low voice.

As soon as he got into work, Zhuge Fei threw himself into it. If he had any questions he didn't understand, he asked Yun Feng face to face. Yun Feng thought this was pretty good. The men and women were matched so that the work would not be tiring!

Time passed slowly, and footsteps sounded again outside the hall. Yunfeng looked up and saw that it was the Geng Liang brother and sister.

The two brothers and sisters walked in and looked at Zhuge Fei in surprise. Geng Liang cupped his hands and said, "My brother and sister have been harassing me for a long time, so they are going to return to Jiankang. I came here to say goodbye to the general. I would like to thank him for spending these days."

The hospitality is very polite." After saying that, he bowed deeply.

However, Yunfeng looked troubled and said hesitantly: "It's better to stay in Dutingwai for a while. It may not be convenient to return now."

Geng Wenjun's expression changed: "General, what do you mean?" She thought Yunfeng was going to detain her brother and sister. No wonder, Yunfeng said it without any reason.

Yunfeng shook his head and explained: "Mrs. Geng may not know that at the beginning of the new year last month, the emperor changed the name to Yongchang. However, at the beginning of that month, just a few days after the change, Wang Dun, the governor of Jiangzhou, named himself Qing Junzi. , sent troops from Wuchang, and Shen Chong, a wealthy family with the Wu surname in Jiangdong, responded and attacked Qingzhou Governor Liu Wei and Shangshu Ling Diao Xie. They advanced by land and water, directly targeting Jiankang. According to the itinerary, Wang Dun's army should have approached the Stone City area, so this general I advised you both to postpone your return to the capital in order to avoid the disaster of fish in the pond."

As an emperor, Sima Rui was naturally not willing to be a puppet between the two brothers and the Tianji Sect. He wanted to escape from the control of the two, so he reused Liu Wei and Diao Xie who were from common people. Wang Dun raised his troops. Two years ago, there was a vacancy in the position of governor of Xiangzhou (Xiangzhou includes present-day Hunan, Hunan, Zierhui River Basin and part of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hubei). The two kings announced that Shen Chong, the inner historian of the city, was the governor of Xiangzhou. Huaxianmen only occupied the position. Gan Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou who was located in Badong County, was relocated. Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Sima Rui followed Liu Wei's suggestion to make a profit and appointed his uncle, General Zuo, Prince Qiao Sima Cheng, as the governor of Xiangzhou. , place your own people in office.

From this incident, the two forces and various noble clans saw that Sima Rui had bad intentions and were wary of him. They supported this old guy in the first place because he was weak, had no reputation, no military power, and nothing! Now in a few years Once he became the emperor, he really thought of himself as an emperor and became restless. Is that okay? Therefore, the various forces in Jiangdong were surprisingly quiet for a period of time.

Last year, Wang Dun made a request to bring the family members of his subordinates in Yangzhou to Jingzhou. If Sima Rui agrees to this request, he can take the opportunity to win over his subordinates. Even if he is rejected, it doesn't matter. It can be used to incite the Jingzhou army's dissatisfaction with the imperial court in order to raise troops. Provide excuses.

Liu Wei and Diao Xie received the confession and believed that Wang Dun's rebellious intention was already obvious. They rejected Wang Dun's proposal righteously and sternly, and took the family members of the Jingzhou army as hostages to restrain Wang Dun and delay his rebellion as much as possible. .At the same time, he also set out to establish a new army directly controlled and commanded by the imperial court, so that in the event of Wang Dun's rebellion, he would not be captured because there were no troops available.

However, under the military household system, good men have no obligation to serve as soldiers, and military households are basically controlled by the gentry. Therefore, in order to establish a new army, the problem of military resources must first be solved. In order to solve the urgent need, Shangshu ordered Diao Xie to propose the recruitment of slaves from the counties of Yangzhou as soldiers. Soldiers to prepare for conscription.

In May of the fourth year of Taixing (321), two months before Yunfeng destroyed Wubao, Sima Rui issued an edict to recruit slaves as soldiers. In July, he ordered his trusted servant Dai Ruosi to be the general for the expedition to the west, and the governor was Si Yanyu. He combined the military forces of the four prefectures and led the governor of Sizhou to control Hefei. He appointed Danyang Yin and Liu Wei as the generals of Zhenbei, and the commander-in-chief of Qingxu Youping. There are more than ten thousand slave soldiers.

Sima Rui's son Sima Shao has 20,000 Donggong troops, plus 30,000 newly recruited slave troops, for a total of 50,000 troops. He plans to use Liu Wei and Dai Ruosi to make Hefei, Huaiyin and Jiankang form a horn to deal with the situation. possible changes, and gradually consolidated the imperial power, while at the same time alienating the ruling Wang Dao and the Huaxian Sect.

After Liu Wei became a foreign vassal, Sima Rui often conspired with him, which made Wang Dao feel dissatisfied. Wang Dun stood up for his brother and tried to persuade Liu Wei, but Liu Wei refused. This made Wang Dun side with the Qing monarch and gave him the opportunity. Sima Rui wanted to learn a lesson.

On the one hand, Wang Dun was training troops in Jingzhou and planning the eastern expedition to Jiankang. At the same time, he also made full use of the resentment of the Yangzhou nobles aroused by Sima Rui's recruitment of slaves. He sent his troops to send Shen Chong, a native of Wuxing, back to Yangzhou to gather the Yangzhou nobles to cooperate with the upcoming attack. of the Eastern March.

Through the information provided by Jin Yuehua, Tao Kan, the governor of Guangzhou, Zu Ti, the governor of Yuzhou, and Gan Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, who were suspected of being members of the Huaxian Sect, made no move and all adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

In fact, out of Yunfeng's original intention, the more chaotic Jiangdong is, the better. He even hopes that Wang Dun will successfully capture Jiankang and kill Sima Rui and Sima Shao together, and then change the dynasty. In this way, He would have an excuse to send troops to Jiangdong in the future.
