The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1483 Go to the Pearl River

Although Fang Yun is the Marquis of the Pearl River, he does not even have a personal soldier around him. Only after he arrives at the Pearl River Army can he command a 10,000-man personal guard.

Fang Yun looked at the map, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

This royal order was originally nothing, but the biggest problem was that Zhang Longxiang was not appointed as the Marshal of the Pearl River Army.

And whether it was the Marquis of Lumen or the Marquis of Qishan, they both had the title of an army marshal, each commanding an army of 200,000.

Fang Yun is only the Marquis of the Pearl River now, not the marshal, so he is only the nominal leader of the Pearl River Army, not the actual leader of the Pearl River Army.

If it were ten years ago, even if Zhang Longxiang was not the Marshal of the Pearl River Army, the Pearl River Army would have to obey his orders, but now, only half of the generals of the Pearl River Army took the initiative to send letters, which shows how Zhang Longxiang's status in the Pearl River Army is.

At the same time, Fang Yun saw a more serious problem.

Logically speaking, after being released, the King of Chu should immediately return his official seal and order him to go to the Pearl River Army. After all, the situation in the south was tight, and the sooner he arrived at the Pearl River Army, the better. Moreover, the plan to attack Lianshan Pass must have been formulated long ago, but this was not the case.

Now, Fang Yun got a helpless inference. The King of Chu not only did not want him to go to the Pearl River Army early, but also asked Lumen Hou to monitor him. It was said that they were going south together, but in fact it was almost the same as escorting.

The King of Chu wanted the Pearl River Army to participate in the war, and Zhujiang Hou had been released from prison, so he had to appoint Zhujiang Hou to go.

"It's a headache..."

Fang Yun originally wanted to show his talent in the Confucius Literature World. After all, this was his first time to officially lead the army, but now he was constrained everywhere. His suspected identity as a traitor had not been cleared, and he had to participate in the struggle for control of the Pearl River Army.

If he did not fight, the test of the Ninth Mountain would fail in advance. If he fought, the possibility was very small. What could a suspected traitor Hanlin do?

With the King of Chu above, Marquis Lumen and Marquis Qishan in the middle, and more than half of the generals of the Pearl River Army below, all three parties can restrict themselves.

Finally, Fang Yun wrote the three words "Marquis Lushan" on the paper.

Marquis Lushan had a good personal relationship with Zhang Longxiang's father Zhang Wankong, but after the rebellion, Marquis Lushan did more than anyone else, and even wrote several letters to ask for the title of Marquis Zhujiang to be taken away and the ten clans of the Zhang family to be killed.

Not to mention Marquis Qishan, who had a feud with the Zhang family.

To pacify the monsters with these two university scholars is like walking in the swamp with a mountain on your back, and you may not even know how you died.

Fang Yun knew in his heart that the most important thing was the attitude of the King of Chu, but the King of Chu's attitude had always been inclined to suppress the Zhang family, which made Fang Yun feel that he could not move forward.

However, Fang Yun was not discouraged and kept looking for ways to control the Pearl River Army.

"Fortunately, Zhang Jing'an has been dealt with. If he hasn't changed his mind and read books yet, once I go to the Pearl River Army, he will definitely cause trouble in Jingzhou City." Fang Yun thought.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, 100,000 Lumen troops arrived outside Jingzhou City, and the King of Chu personally welcomed them.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the wind was cold and the sun had just risen, shining on the camp of the army in the south of Jingzhou City.

The King of Chu stood on a high platform and offered sacrifices to the heavens and swore an oath.

The great scholar of the Chu State personally wrote the only poem handed down by the human race, "Changwu", and the poem was shining, covering all the soldiers and generals, and cheering for the army.

The civil and military officials, the Lumen Army and the Jingnan Army were all very busy, but Fang Yun seemed to be a transparent person. Everything was done according to etiquette to participate in the oath. Not many people cared about him, and he was too lazy to communicate with others.

After the oath, the army set out.

Fang Yun took the carriage he took when he left the prison. Except for a coachman, he did not bring any other followers, which was out of tune with the entire army.

From the beginning to now, no one cares about this dignified Marquis of Zhujiang.

Fang Yun was about to get on the car when Zhang Jingan's voice came from behind him.

"Dad."

Fang Yun turned around and saw Zhang Jingan, dressed in coarse cloth, walking quickly towards him with a faint smile on his face.

Fang Yun nodded. Zhang Jingan has changed a lot in the past few months. At first, his face was white, but later he went through a lot of things and became thin. Now he is a little fatter, but his skin has a little more wheat color, which makes him look healthier.

"Jingan wishes his father a smooth trip to Zhujiang, making achievements and reviving the Zhang family!" Zhang Jingan said loudly, full of vigor.

Fang Yun asked: "How are you doing in Zhurong Academy?"

Zhang Jingan smiled and said: "Very good!"

"I'm afraid you have been criticized and excluded a lot?" Fang Yun smiled.

Zhang Jingan raised his head proudly and said, "Compared to those days, it's nothing. In my eyes, they are just a bunch of brats! Moreover, there are also some who know etiquette, and most of the teachers here are fair."

The word "mostly" is a bit harsh.

"Then study hard. I'm going to the Pearl River Army this time, and maybe I can't come back for a few years. In the future... you have to take good care of yourself. I have already made arrangements in the Marquis' Mansion." Fang Yun said.

"Yeah!" Zhang Jingan nodded vigorously, and his mood was very high.

"Go back, you still have to study." Fang Yun said.

Zhang Jingan suddenly blushed and was shy.

"Yeah?" Fang Yun looked at Zhang Jingan and waited for him to speak.

After a long while, Zhang Jingan blushed and smiled and said, "Dad, give me that talent jade for two years."

"Wait until you pass the exam to become a student!" Fang Yun pulled his face down and put on the look of a strict father.

"Okay..." Zhang Jingan cried.

"I'm leaving." Fang Yun patted Zhang Jingan's shoulder and turned to get in the car.

Zhang Jing'an stood there, watching the carriage leave. Only when it completely disappeared from his sight did he sigh softly and walk towards Zhurong Academy.

In the cold wind of early spring, the army moved southward, forming a line dozens of miles long on the official road, like an endless dragon.

One hundred thousand Lumen troops were in the front, 50,000 Jingnan troops were in the middle, and the baggage and grain troops were behind, continuing to move forward.

Most of the carriages in the army are very simple, with few decorations, and are mainly in dark colors such as black and cyan. However, Fang Yun's carriage is brightly colored and follows the Jingnan Army.

Just after leaving Jingzhou City, the brigade of more than 200,000 people was bustling with activity. Many soldiers were walking and chatting. The officers also turned a blind eye and were relaxed. It would not be too late to wait until the front line to be alert again.

Under the power of Zhuangxingshi, everyone's body was several times stronger than usual, and they would not be too tired after traveling for a long time, so the whole army walked quickly and at a faster speed.

At noon, the army stopped to prepare lunch, but no one came to entertain Fang Yun.

Some informed soldiers and low-level officers deliberately sat next to the carriage with meals and chatted while eating.

"I heard there is a marquis inside, he must be very arrogant!"

"What the hell, he's just a bastard. If the Pearl River Army hadn't been mobilized to let him come forward, he would still be in jail!"

"Some people are really mean. They are good people and have to work as cattle and horses for monsters and barbarians. Bah!"

"Forget it if you go against the grain. That coachman is so pitiful. He makes a fire and cooks by himself, and no one cares about him!"

"It's so miserable in this cold weather."

"That's right, it's miserable. They said they were letting this rebellious prince join the battle, but they were actually escorting him there, maybe secretly..." The soldier who spoke made a gesture of slicing his neck with his hands.

Many soldiers laughed heartily.

There is no one who hates demons and barbarians.

The driver of the Zhang family silently made a fire to cook. After making a small pot of rice, he just took out the pickles when the curtain of the carriage opened and Fang Yun handed out four oil paper bags.

"There are two meat and two vegetables inside. Heat it up and get half for each person." Fang Yun said.

"Yes, sir."
