291 Goodbye

The most convenient and fastest way to get from Yangzhou, Jiangdu to Liyang is of course to take a boat, go up the Yangtze River, and pass Danyang, which is Liyang.

But when I arrived at Liyang, what I saw on the wharf was like two different worlds compared to Danyang, let alone compared to Yangzhou, Jiangdu.

Liyang Wharf is dilapidated and there are only a few ships parked. The ships passing by here are all leaning against the other side of the waterway, as far away as possible from one side of Liyang, with a great smell of staying away.

But these passing ships were not afraid of this huge navy with the banner of the Jiangdu Navy, three five-toothed ships, and more than ten Yellow Dragon warships. The ship owners waved their hands and were very enthusiastic.

The Jianghuai Army, which was entrenched in Liyang, had no idea about the Yangtze River waterway. However, the Jianghuai Army robbed the merchant ships several times on the waterway, and was hit by the Jiangdu Navy and smashed them all. However, the Jianghuai Army soldiers who fell into the water were rescued and sent back to the shore.

From then on, various forces along the Yangtze River waterway also acknowledged the situation. They could charge city entry fees and taxes for business travelers parked in the city, but they could not interfere with waterway transportation. Otherwise, it would lead to the anger and fire of the Jiangdu Navy.

Song Que stood at the bow of the Wuya ship, looking at the scenery on both sides of the straits and the large and small ships shuttled and went around, and sighed: "I was still puzzled when I learned that you had greatly reduced the taxes and fees of the passing business trips after you took control of Jiangdu. When I saw you today, I realized that you were far-sighted, big in mind!"

Luo Feiyu smiled and said, "That's why I told Uncle Du that he is good at fighting for victory in the world, but he is not good at managing government affairs. Liyang Wharf is a waste of such a good place."

Song Que laughed in silence, "Isn't this a good thing you did?! If you smashed all his only navy, he would just give up his heart."

"The root cause is that he cannot restrain his gang of bandits. The robbery, burning and killing is poisonous wine, sweet and delicious, but it is highly poisonous. After taking a sip, you can no longer control it, just like drinking poison to quench your thirst and unable to get rid of it."

Song Que said: "Is this why you are not optimistic about the Jianghuai Army?"

Luo Feiyu nodded.

"Then how do you plan to deal with the captured Jianghuai soldiers?"

Luo Feiyu replied: "First practice for a few months, kill a group of those who are stubborn and obedient, and be recruited into the Jiangdu Army. With a limit of three years, once the deadline is passed, it will be treated the same as the soldiers of the Jiangdu Army."

Song Que was slightly stunned and said, "I thought you would kill all of you to prevent future troubles."

Luo Feiyu smiled and said, "There is no need. If you should be killed, you can be included. After all, many of these people were enlisted by the JAC Army and were not bad in nature. They were just led by the veterans of the JAC Army."

While speaking, the Five-Tooth Ship was approaching Liyang Wharf.

The dock was lifeless. Even if there were soldiers from the Jianghuai Army guarding it, they would not show up when they saw the Jiangdu Army’s five-toothed ship docked.

The children of the Song family were all in the same blue outfit and were neat. After the five-toothed ship stopped, they immediately took out their horses and waited on the dock.

Luo Feiyu and Song Que got off the boat, rolled over the horse, and a group of people galloped straight for Liyang.

Song Que was also wearing a green uniform, but there was an extra gray-white robe, which looked like the heads of the Song family guards.

From the outside, he is just an ordinary middle-aged man, but he has a handsome face and a very impressive aura.

He was next to Luo Feiyu's horse, just like Luo Feiyu's guard.

Everyone rode their horses and galloped. At a distance of several miles from Liyang City Gate, a team of cavalry came towards them and blocked their way.

Luo Feiyu and others had already stopped their horses and waited. The smoke and dust on the opposite side disappeared, and someone rode out and asked coldly: "Who is coming!"

Luo Feiyu replied, "But General Wang? Luo Feiyu, the general manager of Yangzhou, came to pay homage to Uncle Du. Please inform Uncle Du!"

There were about a hundred cavalrymen on the opposite side, and there were only about twenty people on Luo Feiyu's side, which seemed to be crowded. Before he finished speaking, there was a stir there, which seemed to be Luo Feiyu's name, which was already loud enough.

This General Wang is Wang Xiongdan, the most trusted general under Du Fuwei, and is also Du Fuwei's adopted son.

Wang Xiongdan turned around and ordered his subordinates to stop him. Then he turned his head and saluted Luo Feiyu immediately, saying loudly: "It turns out to be General Manager Luo! Come and report to General Manager!"

Immediately someone ran away on horseback. Wang Xiongdan waved his hand and asked his subordinates to give up their way, inviting Luo Feiyu and his party to ride their horses and walk slowly to Liyang.

Along the way, Wang Xiongdan just glanced at Song Que a few times, and didn't even ask, obviously treating him as Luo Feiyu's escort leader.

This misunderstanding is a bit big, but it is also Song Que's purpose so low-key.

With Wang Xiongdan accompanying him, Luo Feiyu and his party entered the city and settled down. With Wang Xiongdan, he took Song Que and three Song family guards to the General Administration.

The Liyang General Administration is the mansion that was originally guarded by Liyang. Compared with the Luo Feiyu's General Administration in Jiangdu, both the scale and the decoration are far behind.

Even the Jianghuai Army, as well as the soldiers of the Jiangdu Army, were obviously much shabby in weapons, equipment and service.

As for the dilapidated scene in Liyang City along the way, it is even more different from Jiangdu City.

Outside the gate of the General Administration, someone came up with a team of guards. The leader's man was majestic, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was powerful without anger. Just walking, he had a sense of evil spirit.

He came forward and bowed, "In the morning of Kan Ling, his adoptive father said that if Manager Luo has nothing to do, please go back to Jiangdu first, he will come to Jiangdu at that time."

Luo Feiyu was stunned and asked, "What's the situation? Is it not convenient for Uncle Du to see me, or is it unwilling to see me?"

Kan Ling looked at Wang Xiongdan, lowered his voice and said, "What happened recently made the adoptive father feel a little embarrassed."

"What happened to General Sui?" Luo Feiyu asked.

"That's right." Kan Ling replied vaguely.

At this moment, a few people came out of the General Administration. While Luo Feiyu saw them, they also saw Luo Feiyu.

Luo Feiyu knew these people, who were three personal guards under Shen Luoyan, a middle-aged Confucian uniform, an ugly woman, and a strong man. They originally had four of them, and the short man was killed by Luo Feiyu outside Pengcheng City.

When the three of them saw Luo Feiyu, their faces changed, and they looked very ugly.

Luo Feiyu knew it in his heart, laughed, and said, "Well, Uncle Du is worried that it would be embarrassing to meet Shen Luoyan? I would like to thank Uncle Du for his kindness. But since I am here, there is no need to worry."

Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan also saw the scene just now, smiled helplessly and brought Luo Feiyu into it.
