After saying goodbye to Ren Guang, on the way to Wancheng, the fifth reunion invited the powerful son who came to welcome him to walk with him and asked about Li Tong's past.

Although Li Tong was tall, he studied poetry and calligraphy, and had a gentle and humble appearance: "In his early years, Tong was appointed as a father and went to Chang'an to be a lieutenant and a lieutenant."

"Oh? Which year did Dimensions get??"

"Two year of Tianfeng."

"It's only two years earlier." Officials also have factions. Those who have been a regular official often look down on local officials who are promoted little by little. Being a man in the same year is also a sign of identity that gangs are formed.

However, Li Tong's career was not very smooth afterwards. He first served as the Five Power General to lead the work, collecting Fu Rui for Wang Mang, and later became the county magistrate of Wu County.

The fact that Li Tong's family did not become the county magistrate directly but became the county magistrate shows that Li Tong's family did not have much power in the court, but at least he was a full-time official of 400 stones. However, Li Tong voluntarily resigned and returned to his hometown last year...

It's such a coincidence that you have resigned from office?

Fifth Ren suddenly became alert. He resigned from his official position and his reputation to support his reputation, and he was inevitably particularly concerned about people with similar behaviors. He knew that such people either had ulterior motives like him or wanted to avoid disasters and hide, but were not loyal ministers of Daxin anyway.

Li Tiyuan laughed and said, "Do you know where Wu County is?"

Wu Lun subconsciously said: "In Ba County?"

Li Tongyan said: "No, it is located in Nanshun (Nanjun), located at the westernmost point, in Wuxia. The mountain is a huge obstacle between Chu and Shu. After passing Yiling County, I was able to cross mountains and ridges. From Xiling Gorge to Wushan, all of them are connected to the mountains without any break. It is not at midnight at the pavilion, but the sun and the moon are not seen, and the wind is not north and south, but only up and down."

"The scenery is magnificent, but it is also remote and painful. There is no clear sunshine in the sky, no flatness in the ground, and heavy fog is always heavy. Outsiders often get sick and die prematurely. I couldn't bear it after half a year, so I quit my post and resigned from my post and returned to my hometown."

Li Tong reached out his hand in the car, feeling the warm sun in March, and smiled and said, "Fortunately I'm back, otherwise I would have been moldy in the clouds of Wushan. How nice is Nanyang, the earth is flat and peaceful, and the climate is warm. I would rather be a white-collar man here than go to remote areas to become an official."

Li Ciyuan's words revealed a sense of decadence and short ambition everywhere, indicating that he was rich and generous in his family and was a hero in the neighborhood, so he was not happy to be an official.

But is it really the case? The fifth reunion smiled, but he was suspicious in his heart.

If Li Tong was really a person without desires, then as soon as he arrived in Wancheng, he would find out the news to welcome him? It would be that he would not be a party of the national master and the public who wanted to keep warm. After the deposed prince had an accident, the fifth reunion did not even dare to go to Liu Xin's house, so he could only draw a clear line.

Or maybe, knowing that Liu Xin's situation is over, the Li family in Wancheng wants to find a new backer, so they fall in love with themselves who are about to become a new noble in the court?

This is ridiculous. Di Wulun said in his heart: "I still hope to take the upper level route after all. The most powerful man in Nanyang will not be so blind, right?"

After answering the questions in one way, Li Tong acted like a mediocre person everywhere. He seemed to be much worse than Zhang Chun's rank. The old man's skills were even afraid of the fifth reunion.

Wancheng is very big, and it is the largest city that the fifth reunion saw after Chang'an. Even Maoling and Changling are not as good as the Maoling. The city is divided into inside and outside, and the small city and the big city are nested together. It is located in the southwest corner. It is the residence of the Duke Mansion and the people are going to.

Along the way, Li Tong did not mention the purpose of his trip. He didn't ask, but got off at the city gate and bowed to Li Tong: "When Boyu's official business is over, if he has free time, Li Tong will definitely take you to visit Wancheng."

After the county soldiers sent by the doctor from the front team entered the inner city, Li Tong's smile calmed down and he fell into thought. His cousin Li Yi, who had been following the team, came over, and was quite puzzled.

"Why do brother care so much about the fifth relationship?"

Li Tong just refused to answer, and took his disciples back to the manor near Wancheng, and only answered Li Yi's doubts after entering the secret room.

"My father is the national master, Gong Zongqing. Now that the deposed prince is dead, the national master has completely lost power. My family's investment for more than ten years has been wasted and we have to start from scratch."

Li Yi suddenly realized: "So my cousin wanted to win over the fifth reunion and let him be the new backer of Li's court? But he was just a mere Taizhong doctor, and his rank and fortune were indeed lower."

Li Tong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the rank of the fifth reunion is very trusted by the emperor recently. However, my real purpose is not the fifth reunion."

"It's up to his mission to go south this time!"

Speaking of this, Li Tong kept his silence and asked Li Yi to guess what happened to the fifth reunion. He missed several times. Finally, Li Tong gave the answer to the riddle and whispered: "Last month, the deposed prince and the newly moved prince were both dead. The emperor had no legitimate son, but there were two concubines left in the Xindu Kingdom. I guess the fifth reunion came here on the verge of this trip, and the team was carrying the prince's car, so I must welcome them back to Chang'an!"

While speaking, Chang'an sent a letter to him, which was written by Li Tong's father. The letter mentioned this matter and told Li Tong to receive the fifth reunion well, but he didn't know that his son had done it long ago.

Li Tong shook his head while looking: "My father also said, let me choose two girls of the right age and send them to the two princes of Xindu Kingdom as concubines."

Li Yi shook his palm: "My magic, so Li can escape from the national master who is about to fall, and get a backer again! I heard that the two princes of Xindu Kingdom, Wang Kuang is timid and rich, and Wang Xing is bold and lustful. My family just happened to meet his preferences. In addition to being beautiful, the sisters sent there can also give a lot of money and gifts, so I don't believe that they will not accept it."

Li Tong said coldly: "And when Wang Mang kills his son again, will the Li family accompany them to bury him with him?"

Li Yi was stunned, but heard Li Tong sigh: "Wang Yu, Wang Huo, Wang An, Wang Lin, and Wang Zong, so many people have died, and my father has not seen it clearly. At this time, he is still tied to these new princes who are in danger. How foolish!"

Li Tong always felt that his father had taken the wrong path to invest in Liu Xin and investing in the prince, and now he was even more panicked. It seems that the future of Li's family still has to be decided by himself. His family's foundation is in the Dajun of Nanyang, so he has to rely on the local heroes in his hometown. Don't count on Chang'an or any other person. Once something happens, the far water cannot save the near fire.

"Ji Wen." Li Tong looked at his confidant: "You can quickly send your confidant to the city and spread the news that the fifth reunion came to welcome the two princes of the Xindu Kingdom to the north in Wan City."

Wancheng has a population of more than 100,000, which is a large city in the south. If a news is thrown into the market, it will soon spread everywhere and there will be no root cause.

Li Yi was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Li Tong said lightly: "Nothing else, I just want to see if there are a few bold thieves in this huge front-line county who dare to attack the mission to welcome the prince!"

Li Yi was shocked. He knew since he was a child that his elder brother seemed gentle and gentle in front of others, but he was very brave. But what are the benefits of this to Li? Could it be that he wanted to...rebellion?

Li Tong spread his hands and said, "It's not that my family leaked the news, nor that my family's attack on the mission, what does it have to do with me? There is no need to succeed. Just the attack on the mission will happen, just like Bolangsha of Liuhou assassinate Qin Shihuang, which is enough to shock the world. No matter who does it, if my family spreads it for a moment, it will eventually be said that it was instructed by the Green Forest Army, who wanted to murder the emperor's descendants."

Li Yi became even more confused. After a long time of going around, Li Tong was in the green forest?

Li Tong nodded and said, "Among the thieves in the south, Green Forest is the most powerful. Fei Xing, the governor of Jingzhou, recruited 20,000 troops and wanted to pacify Green Forest Mountain in the south, but it has been a few months, but it has been slow. The army stationed in Nanyang to eat. Last year, the county had a severe drought, and the farmers had no more food and clothing. In this time of incompatibility, they could not force out much."

"The governor of Jingzhou and the county magistrates us to invest, and my family takes the lead in distributing a lot, a thousand stones a month! If you don't follow, you will directly charge taxes."

No matter what the governor of Jingzhou is planning, whether he raises the enemy to respect himself or acts cautiously, from Li Tong's perspective, he hopes that the battle will start quickly, otherwise the longer the people will suffer, and the more powerful people will not be at ease.

"What's more, only by quickly calming down the green forest can my family's business in the south continue."

The prince was attacked by the "Green Forest Pirates", which would make the court realize the seriousness and force the governor of Jingzhou to go south to start a war.

Li Yi suddenly realized, but thought of another possibility: "Brother, what if Green Forest wins this battle?"

Li Tong smiled even happier, his tone at this moment was completely opposite to his mediocrity and ordinary life when he was on the Fifth Reunion Car.

"If this is better, my family will have to prepare for another big business with great risks and greater returns!"

Li Yi admired him very much and only joked before taking the order and leaving: "I am not afraid of attacking the mission too many people, so I will lose my life if I talk and laugh with you?"

Li Tong laughed: "The fifth uncle, just a person, he will die if he dies, what should he have to do with me?"

...

After walking all the way to Wancheng, the fifth reunion only said that Nanyang is indeed a big county. It cut off the abundant soil of Zhou and Chu, crossed Jing and Yu and became a border. Even if there was a long drought, you could see that the population was prosperous and the inner villages were dense.

Although he did not directly see the exact figures on the household registration file, he heard that there are more than 300,000 households in the county, and the population is likely to have reached two million!

This is very terrifying. The hometown of the fifth reunion, Liewei, is only one million, and the poor Beidi County has only only 200,000. Just looking at the population, one Nanyang energy can reach ten Beidi.

But this also means that the land annexation problem in Nanyang is more serious than that in Guanzhong, and it is far from the capital. The power projected by the imperial court is a little weak, and it is probably impossible to ban annexation and slave transactions.

So the governor of Jingzhou wanted to pacify the southern Green Forest Army, but he did not recruit soldiers elsewhere, so he stared at Nanyang and ordered the front team's chief politician Zhen Fu to recruit 20,000 people. He was training in Xiangyang, and his food and clothing depended on the supply of the front team.

"The fifth reunion pays homage to Chengxinhou."

The former team leader Zhen Fu was very arrogant and did not go out of the city to welcome the fifth family. When he came to see him, who would have given him a taller family? Zhen Fu was the head of the Zhen family in Zhongshan. His father Zhen Han was a major general in Wang Mang's entrepreneurial team. When he was founded, he was also named Chengxin Duke.

When he arrived in Zhenfu, he was demoted to the marquis, but he was still favored. This man was loyal to the Xin Dynasty, so Wang Mang was relieved to hand over the huge front team to him.

Zhen Fu asked the fifth reun to sit down: "When Boyu came, did the general who fought against the Eastern thieves set off?"

"I'll leave Chang'an a few days earlier."

"Who is the general? How many soldiers have you brought?"

The fifth reunion said: "Your Majesty regards Taishi Xi Zhongjing as a partial general, and the guards Wang Dang as a subordinate general. He only brought thousands of personal guards to privately. After he arrived in the east, he coordinated the troops of Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and defeated the three enemies of Lu Mu, Fan Chong and Lizidu."

"I also sent the national army and Zhong Cao Fang to recruit Longyou soldiers and went south to attack Jucheng..."

"I still have to Tajucheng? This is the third time." Zhen Fu felt this was incredible. He thought that after the court ended the battle against the Huns, he could turn inside completely and bring back the tens of thousands of people dragged in southern Yizhou. Unexpectedly, Wang Mang had not given up yet.

Zhen Fu also had an objection to the strategy of sending generals to the east but only letting Jingzhou die on his own: "I heard that Boyu had learned military tactics from Yan Boshi. He should know that the thieves in Haidai seem to be powerful, but in fact they are troubles of elbows and armpits. However, the thieves in Jingzhou are likely to become serious diseases."

"This county blocks Jing, Xiang, and Ru and Luo in the south. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was already a key place. There was news in the south that the green forests were growing stronger every month. Although they are now hiding in the mountains, forests and waters, once they go north, they will threaten Wancheng. The ministers and ministers in the court should send troops to pacify the green forest first and then suppress the thieves in the east."

He was probably right. After all, even the history blind man, even the "Green Forest" knew that the "Green Forest" might have taken shape in history. But the "Five Representative" did not express his opinion, and it would be useless to make a statement. He also hoped that the Green Forest would win and attract the main force of the court to go south, saying: "Maybe it is Your Majesty who believes that with the talent of the Great Yin, can the stability of the south be maintained?"

After smelling the breath before the war in Nanyang, Di Wulun now just wants to take Wang Mang's two sons back to the court immediately, and to strengthen the number of guards along the way. If something happens to them, he will not be able to take care of them.

Although it was not his own soldiers who were not easy to use and even had a thrust, the fifth reunion could only ask Zhen Fu to send some people to him.

Zhen Fu was a little unhappy: "Boyu is worried that there will be thieves attacking the mission in my jurisdiction?"

The fifth reunion smiled and said with a smile: "The emperor is trusting him, it's no harm to be cautious. I have always been timid. Only by having three hundred cavalry camps and two hundred county soldiers can I feel at ease."

He only had one requirement for the Zhenfu sect, to be loyal, and the fifth reunion did not need to rebel this time.

After thinking about it, Zhen Fu said, "I have a candidate, so I can send him to lead troops to help you."

"Who?"
