Chapter 613: Qinhuais daughter is fragrant at night
Liu Yu's heart moved and he didn't answer immediately. Xie Xuan looked into Liu Yu's eyes and said calmly: "For those who are willing to stay, I will arrange for them to live in your hometown, so that you can manage and contact them nearby. But now
This order has not been officially issued yet, so I am taking it easy for the time being. Now that you have a lot of money, you can go to Jiankang City and take a look. There will be a large number of auctions for prisoners of war of the Qin Army in the past few days. If there is a strong and powerful
You can keep a few of them as troops, and they may be able to help on the battlefield in the future."
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "I've had this intention for a long time!"
The next day, it's time for Jiankang.
Liu Yu was dressed in casual clothes, with a black silk attire and a bun, walking with Liu Muzhi, while Liu Muzhi was wearing blue silk clothes and a square hat, walking in front
, he looked like a local rich man, and Liu Yu seemed to be his bodyguard.
Standing in front of the south gate of Jiankang City, the two of them looked up at the tall and majestic city wall. Although they started from here during the military parade and prisoner presentation ceremony the day before yesterday, Liu Yu's entire mind at that time was on how to maintain the formation.
Let the people of the world see the power of the Beifu army. He didn't observe Jiankang City too carefully. But today, his mentality is completely different. He can finally take a closer look at this Jin Dynasty.
’s capital city.
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu beside him and said with a smile: "Why, how do you think this Jiankang City compares with our Jingkou?"
Liu Yu swallowed his saliva and said: "How can this be compared? Jingkou is a countryside after all, and Jiankang is the capital. Look, this city wall is three feet high, but it is the tallest and thickest city wall I have ever seen.
"
Having said this, he pointed to the moat outside the city, which was two or three feet wide, and said with a smile: "The water in this moat is several times wider than that in Shouchun. Look, only on this south gate,
There are twenty-four pontoon bridges, and it really looks like a big city."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is not an ordinary moat. This is called Zhuquehang, also called Dahang. Important announcements from the court, as well as the heads of traitorous officials and traitors killed in major cases, and the heads of enemy generals will hang here.
In order to enhance the country's prestige and frighten Xiaoxiao, Fu Rong's head was hung at the city gate for more than ten days a while ago."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "It's a pity that we were still stationed in Guangling at that time and did not see this grand occasion. I think the common people and soldiers in Jiankang City would be extremely excited when they saw the head of the enemy general hanging here.
Bar."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "That's natural. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we have suffered repeated defeats against the northern barbarians. They retreated again and again. Several Northern Expeditions were abandoned midway. There has never been a Feishui River."
Such a heart-wrenching victory, not to mention the feat of killing an enemy general in battle, Ji Nu, this is all your credit."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's a pity that Fu Jian was not killed in the battle. Otherwise, if we broke the country and captured the king, we could really make the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory in one fell swoop."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "Killing Fu Jian may not necessarily lead to the Northern Expedition. If you want to do the Northern Expedition, you must first get chaos in the north, and secondly, you must at least reach a consensus within the Jin Dynasty. Now it seems that this latter point is better than the former one.
It’s more difficult. Forget it, don’t think about this, today is a happy day, send slaves, let’s go to the city.”
Liu Yu nodded and saw that at the city gate, people entering and leaving the city had already formed a long queue. Many strong men were obviously Beifu sergeants who entered the city in casual clothes just like him. Many of them had bulging waists.
, it seems that he has brought all the rewards he just received and is preparing to have a good time in the capital.
However, thanks to the large number of Beifu soldiers entering the city in the past two days, the sergeants guarding the city are not surprised. Otherwise, Liu Yu, who is as tall and strong as an ordinary person, would probably have been killed early.
He will be stopped by the soldiers guarding the city and questioned more. Once his identity is exposed and made public, he will probably be watched by a large number of people in the capital, and nothing can be done today.
It only took less than half an hour for Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi to pass through the city gate and step into the city. A waterway flows in the city. It is the legendary Qinhuai River. Along both sides of the river, there is a willow every five steps, and the spring breeze
The branches are fluttering in the breeze, and combined with the aroma of powder from many shops on both sides of the river, it is really a warm breeze that makes tourists intoxicated. It is a prosperous atmosphere that is completely different from Jingkou.
Liu Yu sighed as he walked, but Liu Muzhi looked normal and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Ji Nu, what do you think when you see such a prosperous big city for the first time?"
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "The more I walked, the more I was glad that my decision to join the army was correct. Such a good city, such a prosperous place, and the thousands of years of culture and inheritance of my Han family, if they were invaded by the barbarian Qin army,
During the war, it was all gone. I have seen what Shouchun City looked like. It fell in less than a month and was destroyed beyond recognition. The cities in Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers were probably like this. It would be great to be able to preserve them with my own hands.
In this city, I have endured hardships and hardships, but they are all worth it.”
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Why, after seeing such a good place, are you reluctant to leave? As long as you ask, Marshal Xuan and the Xie family will definitely find you a job in Beijing and stay here."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Forget it, although Jiankang is good, it is not my hometown after all. Compared with the aroma, wind and wine here, I still prefer the taste of Jingkou's soil and Yanghe wine. By the way, Fatty
, Is there any delicious and fun place in Jiankang City, but I’ll go check it out.”
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "The place we are in now is in the south of the city. Zhuquehang is a moat formed by diverting water from the Qinhuai River, and the river around us is the Qinhuai River. It is daytime now, and once it arrives
At night, there will be countless painted boats, that is, small boats, floating in the river, and beautiful singers will play and sing on these painted boats, while the literati on the river bank will compete to bid, and the price is high.
Then you can get on the boat and spend the spring night with that beauty."
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "How come it's still like this? They city people really know how to play. Why can't we learn from those brothels in Jingkou City?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "We from Jingkou are honest. Doing this kind of flesh and blood business is just like going to a restaurant to eat and drink. The price is clearly stated and you go straight to the shop."
Liu Yu's face showed a trace of a bad smile: "You damn fat man knows this business so well, could it be possible that when your boy came here before, he also stole love and jade behind your wife's back?"
Liu Muzhi's chubby face turned red, and he pretended to be angry: "We are familiar with each other. If Liu Jinu spreads rumors about me, I will break off our relations with you. Besides, look at how poor I am, do you have the money to drink flower wine?"
