[Latest Report] Tomorrow was the 515 day, Qidian's anniversary celebration. It was the day with the most benefits. Other than the gift bags, the 515 day red packets were a must. There was no reason not to snatch them. Set the alarm.
Although Fang Yun was the Marquis of Zhujiang, he did not even have a personal guard. He could only command a ten-thousand-man Personal Guard after joining the Pearl River Army.
Fang Yun looked at the map and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
The King's order was not a big deal, but the biggest problem was that it did not make Zhang Longxiang the Marshal of the Pearl River Army.
Whether it was Marquis Lumen or the Marquis of Qishan, they both had the title of Marshal of an army and each commanded a two-hundred-thousand-man army.
Fang Yun was only the Marquis of Zhujiang now, not the Marshal. That meant that he was only the leader of the Pearl River Army in name and not the actual leader of the Pearl River Army.
If it was ten years ago, even if Zhang Longxiang was not the Marshal of the Pearl River Army, the entire Pearl River Army would have to obey his orders. But now, only half of the Pearl River Army's generals had taken the initiative to send him letters. It was clear how important Zhang Longxiang's position in the Pearl River Army was.
At the same time, Fang Yun saw a more serious problem.
Logically speaking, after he was released, the King Of Chu should have immediately returned his official seal and ordered him to go to the Pearl River Army. After all, the situation in the South was critical. The sooner he went to the Pearl River Army, the better. Moreover, the plan to attack Lotus Mountain Pass should have been formulated long ago. But that was not the case.
Now, Fang Yun came to a helpless conclusion. Not only did the King Of Chu not want him to go to the Pearl River Army early, but he even ordered Marquis Lumen to keep an eye on him. Although he said that they would go to the South together, it was more like escorting him.
The King Of Chu wanted the Pearl River Army to join the battle. Since Marquis of Zhujiang had been released from prison, he had to send the Marquis of Zhujiang.
"My head hurts …"
Fang Yun had originally wanted to display his talents in the Kong Shengwen Realm. After all, this was the first time he had officially led an army. However, he was currently being held back. He had yet to clear his name as a traitor, and now he had to participate in the struggle for control of the Pearl River Army.
If he did not fight for it, he would fail the test of the Ninth Mountain in advance. If he did fight for it, the chances of him winning it would be next to nothing. What could a traitor like Hanlin do?
Above him was the King Of Chu, in the middle was Marquis Lumen and the Marquis of Qishan, and below him were more than half of the generals of the Pearl River Army. All three parties could restrain him.
In the end. Fang Yun wrote 'Marquis Lu Shan' on the paper.
Marquis Lu Shan used to be on good terms with Zhang Longxiang's father, Zhang Wankong. But after the treacherous incident, Marquis Lu Shan was more ruthless than anyone else. He even sent petitions many times to ask for the Marquis of Zhujiang to be stripped of his title of nobility and for the ten generations of the Zhang family to be executed.
Not to mention the Marquis of Qishan. He already had a feud with the Zhang family.
Suppressing the demons and barbarians with these two scholars was like carrying a mountain on his back as he walked through a swamp. It was very likely that he would not even know how he died.
Fang Yun understood that the most important thing was the King Of Chu's attitude. However, the King Of Chu's attitude had always been biased towards suppressing the Zhang family. This made Fang Yun feel that it was difficult to do anything.
However, Fang Yun was not discouraged. He continued to look for ways to take control of the Pearl River Army.
'Fortunately, I've already dealt with Zhang Jingan. If I still can't get him to change his mind and study, I'll definitely be in trouble. Once I go to the Pearl River Army, he'll definitely cause trouble in Jingzhou City, 'Fang Yun thought.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the 100,000 Lumen Army arrived outside Jingzhou City. The King Of Chu personally welcomed them.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the wind was bitingly cold. The sun had just risen and shone on the Southern Army's camp.
The King Of Chu stood on a high platform and made a vow to the heavens.
The great scholar of the Chu State personally wrote the only war poem of the human race, "Chang Wu". The light of the poem shone and enveloped all the soldiers. For the army's march.
The civil and military officials, the Lumen Army, and the Southern Jingzhou Army were all very busy. Only Fang Yun seemed to have become invisible. He participated in the vow according to etiquette. Not many people cared about him. He was also too lazy to interact with others.
After the vow, the army set off.
Fang Yun took the carriage that he left the prison in. Other than the coachman, he did not bring any other retainers. He did not fit in with the rest of the army.
From the beginning until now, no one cared about the great Marquis of Zhujiang.
Fang Yun was about to get on the carriage. Zhang Jingan's voice came from behind him.
"Father."
Fang Yun turned around and saw Zhang Jingan, who was dressed in coarse clothes, quickly walking over with a faint smile on his face.
Fang Yun nodded. Zhang Jingan had changed a lot in the past few months. At first, his face was white, but later, he had experienced many things and became thin. Now, he was a little chubbier, but his skin was more tanned and looked healthier.
"I wish father a smooth journey to the Pearl River. I wish you a successful career and revitalize the Zhang family!" Zhang Jingan said loudly, full of vigor.
Fang Yun asked, "How are you doing in the Zhurong Academy?"
Zhang Jingan smiled and said, "Very good!"
"I'm afraid you've been criticized and ostracized a lot?" Fang Yun said with a smile.
Zhang Jingan raised his head proudly and said, "Compared to the past, it's nothing. In my eyes, they're just a bunch of brats! Moreover, there are some who are polite. Most of the teachers here are fair. "
The word "most" was a bit harsh.
"Then study hard. I'm going to the Pearl River Army and may only return after a few years. In the future … you have to take good care of yourself. I've already made arrangements in the Marquis's Estate. "Fang Yundao said.
"Mm!" Zhang Jingan nodded vigorously. He was in high spirits.
"Go back. You still have to study." Fang Yundao said.
Zhang Jingan's face suddenly turned red, and he began to fidget.
"Mm?" Fang Yun looked at Zhang Jingan and waited for him to speak.
After a while, Zhang Jingan smiled and said with a red face, "Father, let me use that talent jade for two years."
"We'll talk about it after you pass the Tong Sheng exam!" Fang Yun pulled a long face and acted like a strict father.
"Alright …" Zhang Jingan pulled a long face.
"I'm leaving." Fang Yun patted Zhang Jingan's shoulder and turned to get on the carriage.
Zhang Jingan stood in the same place and watched the carriage leave. When the carriage completely disappeared from his sight, he sighed and walked towards Zhurong Academy.
Amidst the cold winds of early spring, the army headed south, forming a line that stretched for dozens of li on the official road. It was like an endless dragon.
The 100,000 Lumen Army was in the front, the 50,000 Jingnan Army was in the middle, and the military supplies were at the back.
Most of the carriages in the army were very simple. There were fewer decorations in the carriages, mainly black, green and other dark colors. However, Fang Yun's carriage was brightly colored and followed behind the Jingnan Army.
Just as they left Jingzhou City, the army of more than 200,000 people was bustling. Many soldiers chatted as they walked. The officers also turned a blind eye and relaxed. It wouldn't be too late to be on alert at the front line.
Under the power of Zhuang Xingshi, everyone's body was several times stronger than before. They didn't feel too tired after a long journey. Therefore, the army walked quickly and moved faster.
At noon, the army stopped to prepare lunch. Unexpectedly, no one came to entertain Fang Yun.
Some soldiers and low-ranking officers who knew what was going on deliberately sat beside the carriage with food and chatted as they ate.
"I heard that there's a marquis inside. He must be very arrogant!"
"Arrogant? He's just a rebel. If it wasn't for the Pearl River Army, it would be best for him to come forward. He would definitely continue to stay in prison! "
"Some people are really despicable. They don't want to be a good person and have to work like a horse for the demons. Bah! "
"Forget about the rebel. That coachman is so pitiful. He makes his own fire and no one cares about him!"
"It's so cold, so pitiful."
"That's right. They say that this rebel marquis is going to participate in the war. In fact, they are just escorting him. Who knows … "The soldier who spoke made a gesture of cutting his neck.
Many soldiers laughed heartily.
Everyone hated the demons and barbarians.
The coachman of the Zhang Family quietly made a fire and cooked a small pot of rice. Just as he took out some salted vegetables, the curtain of the carriage opened and Fang Yun handed over four oil paper packets.
"There are two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes inside. Heat them up and split them equally," Fang Yundao said.
"Yes, Master."
