Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 90
Early the next morning, Guan Ziyang got up early, tidied up, and went to the compound of Zijin Bieyuan.

Although the courtyard was very large, it was quite crowded when a thousand men stood together, and some of them even stood in the surrounding corridors.

Xie Yi came forward to introduce Guan Ziyang, which was to help him establish his prestige, and then asked Guan Ziyang to say a few words to improve morale.

Guan Ziyang didn't talk too much, as an outsider from Xie's family came to bring them Xie's series, it was impossible for him to say anything to make them loyal.

"I only have one goal, which is to bring you all back alive!"

What could be more attractive than keeping soldiers alive?
"In my army, there is no high or low, including me. I am just the messenger of your military orders, and military orders are everything!"

"Those who violate the military order, beheaded!" Guan Ziyang read the word "beheaded" resoundingly!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the followers of some rich families not only demanded higher material treatment from their masters, but even sought to establish a spiritual "confidant" relationship with their masters, and only then were they willing to devote their lives to them when they were respected by "National Scholars Wushuang".

Guan Ziyang's virtue and ability, wanting to subdue this group of 'lone wolves' did not happen overnight.

That's why he put himself on the same level as them.

Several Xie family members with high qualifications and high prestige were surprised when they heard this!
Trilogy can also be called Menke, warriors or wise men raised by aristocratic families, there are not only the children of the poor nobles, but also the bottomless vagrants who are unwilling to be poor.

However, what they have in common is the pursuit of their own values ​​in the "troubled times" where rites and music are destroyed.

They are eager to make contributions, and like Confucius, "disappeared without a name", even if they pay the price of their lives, they are willing to go down in history with their extreme behavior to shock the world.

These people are different from the working people at the bottom. They belong to the category of 'thoughtful and ambitious'.

Of course, some of the diners are really talented and learned, but some are just vain and fame-seekers who live in Xie's house.

When Xie's family recruited them as doormen, they didn't ask for anything else. To put it bluntly, they were just thugs. They could not only defend Xie's manor, but also deter thieves and young people.

Among them are a few old-fashioned diners, who have a very high status among the diners. Although they are masters and servants with the Xie family in name, they usually get along with the Xie family and respect each other as guests.

They went out with Guan Ziyang this time, originally only at the request of Xie's family, and didn't expect to do any earth-shattering events with a young boy, but Guan Ziyang revealed the key weakness of this team in one word, so immediately I don't think this commander seems like a chick!
The disciples form a trilogy, although the individual combat effectiveness is very strong, but those who are really capable among them are all solitary conceited people, and only military orders can restrain them.

Xie Yi nodded in relief, originally wanted to mention Guan Ziyang a few words, but unexpectedly his heart was already like a bright mirror.

After Guan Ziyang finished his speech, Xie Yi said again: "Mr. Luo Ding, Qin Kuan, and Li Bin come out."

The three Yingba men in the trilogy came out to meet, Xie Yi said: "The governor of Guandu doesn't know you very well, so I appoint you three as the soldiers of the governor of Guandu! Assist the governor of Guandu and convey the military orders!"

The three bowed down: "Take orders!"

Personal soldiers are also the guards around the general, with the best equipment and the highest salary. They are often composed of the general's clan or children from the same village, so they are very loyal to the general.

Personal soldiers are generally the reserve team of the army, and they are only put into the battlefield at critical moments.

At the same time, the requirements for the personal soldiers are very high. If the personal soldiers are not dead, but the general is killed in battle, all the personal soldiers will be beheaded.

So there is a matter of letting the generals retreat after the personal soldiers are cut off. If they die in battle, as long as the generals are still there, their families can be taken care of.

Guan Ziyang stepped forward and greeted the three of them one by one. Guan Ziyang saw that these three men were extraordinary at a glance. Not to mention the level of internal strength, the strong physique with an average of 1.8 meters is enough to show their ability .

Moreover, these three people are well-known and experienced in Xie's family. The three of them are enough to suppress this group of temporarily formed army of disciples.

Facing this kind of people, Guan Ziyang must be courteous and respectful, and treat each other with courtesy. When Xie Yi called them, he always added "Mr." to the end of their names!
After the swearing-in, the army set off.

Guan Ziyang rode a group of bright black war horses and took the lead.

When they got off Zhongshan, they had just arrived at the edge of Jiankang City, when they saw three horsemen in the city gate approaching them quickly.

"Why is Xie Daoyun bringing two people with him?"

When the three riders got closer, they could see clearly that they were all dressed as palace servants.

One of them said: "The Empress Dowager ordered, Guan Ziyang dismounted to accept the order."

Only then did Guan Ziyang realize that it was not Xie Daoyun, so he quickly got off his horse and knelt down to receive the order.

"Guan Ziyang, the governor of the Beifu Army, received the order. Aiqing was sympathetic to the country's excellence, and formed loyal and patriotic men who traveled thousands of miles to quell the rebellion in Shu. Today, I bestow the title of "Loyal and Valiant Army" recruited by Aiqing, and reward [-] cattle and sheep each. The head, one thousand taels of silver, and on the day the class teacher returns to the court, he will be rewarded separately, hereby."

After the three palace servants issued the decree, they handed over the cattle, sheep, money and silver to Guan Ziyang, and then beat the horse and returned.

Guan Ziyang felt baffled, what is this 'loyal army'?
This currency and cattle and sheep should be urgent.

……

Last night Xie Daoyun met him at the gate of Jiankang City that he had made an appointment with, but now he had passed the gate, but no one was there. Guan Ziyang guessed that he must have been caught sneaking away, right?

That's good, even though he lost a right-hand man, it also saved him a lot of trouble, so don't come if he doesn't come, since she was out of the plan anyway.

The queen mother's reward surprised him. The 1000 people he had borrowed from Xie's family. Naturally, Xie Yi also helped him arrange the food.

In the luggage, there is enough food, enough for their team of thousands of people to consume for three months.

Because there are no warships, and it is impossible for the army to disperse by small boats, the only way to go to Zitong County is by land, which takes about two months.

Among the luggage, there are more cattle and sheep, and the food for the soldiers has increased linearly.

"Mr. Luo, do you know what the number of this 'Zhongyongjun' is?"

Hearing from Xie Yi, Luo Ding had served as a captain in the Xifu Army, so he asked him for advice.

Luo Ding was a straightforward man in his thirties. He looked at Qin Kuan and Li Bin beside him, and the three of them looked at each other for a few moments before laughing.

Then Luo Ding said: "Commander Guan, our team of disciples does not belong to the imperial court, secondly has no military status, and thirdly has no title. The only one with a title is you, the Commander-in-Chief of the Beifu Army."

"We can't become the Beifu Army just because of you. We went to Shuzhong to quell the chaos. In fact, we belonged to an unknown teacher, and the queen mother has no seal, so we had to give us the title of 'Loyal and Valiant Army'."

Qin Kuan said with a smile: "Actually, we are only patriots who voluntarily put down the rebellion, but since the Queen Mother has issued an order, if we really come back victorious, the Queen Mother will reward us as 'the master is famous', and we should also thank Guan Dudu your face!"

Guan Ziyang was right when he thought about it. Most of the thousands of Xie family members under his command were homeless refugees attached to the Xie family, and a few were yellow or white. To Qiaozhou.

It's no wonder that the designation 'Zhongyongjun' has temporarily legalized them all...
