Chapter 345 The Four Great Families
Because Tu Yong's wedding date was rushed and he had to rush, Juren Chen stayed in Jinling for two days before leaving for a trip, and accompanied him were Shui Jin and Shui Jin's ten thousand personal guards.
As the third marshal under the Chuzhou Army, he and his troops were directly under Shuijin's army, and he had already reached 70,000 or 80,000. Because he liked to charge on the battlefield, he was unwilling to be in the rear, so he had tens of thousands of people in his personal guard camp.
Even if you know that Tu San will not be short-sighted and plot against Shui Jin, you must prevent others from calculating.
Ten thousand personal guards accompany him to ensure the safety of water entry.
According to Huo Wu's original intention, it was nothing to bring tens of thousands of people over there.
It was still Shui Jin who felt that there was no need to mobilize troops. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chuzhou and Yangzhou, where the Chuzhou Army and the Bozhou Army were bordered by Chuzhou Army. If there was really a strange movement in Bozhou, it would be like to mobilize troops there, so there was no need to take people directly from Jinling.
When everyone boarded the Navy Tower boat and watched the tens of thousands of soldiers accompanying him, Juren Chen could only smile bitterly.
Since Mr. Fang's attempted to conspire to kill Huo Bao and killed Huo Wu's cousin, the Chuzhou army has no longer been as friendly as before.
Although both sides were still moving, both sides were on guard.
But who is this blame?
Although Juren Chen was not optimistic about the Bozhou army, he was somewhat confident because of the relationship between the two parties.
Even if there is no hope for the world, with Huo Wu, his brother-in-law and Huo Bao, his nephew, he may not be the same prince in the future.
At the moment, there is no bottom.
How could Tu San really be willing to stay under others if he has the ambition to compete for the world?
Even if he truly surrenders and has unkind deeds before, can the Huo father and son accept it without any grudges?
Besides, there are many civil, military and heroic people under the Bozhou Army. For the sake of glory and wealth, these people will not be willing to give up the banner of the Bozhou Army.
The heroes and generals of Chuzhou Army worked hard to fight the territory and would not be willing to let Tu San get a share of the pie.
The two armies will always fight in the future, but the Chen family and their ancestral land are all in Binjiang.
On the shore, Huo Bao and Niu Qing came to see him off and watched the fleet go away.
Niu Qing was thinking about the journey in his heart and said, "Shui Shuai said he wanted to go back to Quyang. He probably had no time before the New Year, so he probably had to go back..."
Huo Bao nodded and said, "It should be in the first month..."
Shui was in a farmhouse and his parents died in his teens and became orphans.
Although I was mostly looking for food in the fields at that time, I was also helped by the villagers and grew up.
Now Huainan is under the rule of the Chuzhou army, and there is no war for the time being. Shuijin also wants to go back to Quyang to worship his parents and repay the villagers.

After sending the water away, the atmosphere of the New Year in Jinling City became more and more intense.
The various prefectures around the Taiwei Mansion cannot be said to be full of traffic, and there are endless visitors.
The Huo family members, the generals in the army, the local seals, and the gentry families holding the ox-ears in various prefectures were all going to Jinling.
Huo Wu was named "Taiwei", but he was actually the leader of one side.
Filial piety is indispensable for the New Year.
Who doesn’t want glory and wealth?
In addition, there are more idle people in the twelfth lunar month, and more families marrying wives and daughters.
Huo Wu has no brothers, only one son, and all the younger generations of the clan should be engaged, so it is not easy to get along with him.
The second-class people are also difficult to follow Deng, Ma, Feng, Shui, Lin and others, but they have a family that is easier to enter.
However, there is one family that has attracted many people's attention.
It’s either someone else’s house or Xue Biao’s Xue Mansion.
Xue Biao has returned from Hangzhou and has made contributions before when he fought Hangzhou.
Not to mention the gentry in other places, but only the old Jinling households, many of them were his guests in their early years.
In March last year, he was embezzled and left Jinling in shame, which was considered a terrifying world.
Some families who are dating like the Jia brothers are implicated, but more are those who are self-protection and cold-eyed.
When he returned home in October, Xue Biao looked down on those "old old friends" and didn't like to take care of them.
However, over the past year, he also saw some tricks, including Huo Wu and Ma Laoliu, who did not let him get involved in military power and was guarding against him everywhere.
Whether it is the previous head of the teaching staff or the current head of finance, they are all false names.
He is not as good as generals like Deng Jian, Monk Feng, Shui Jin, or as good as the leader of the village, Master Lin and others.
Xue Biao was anxious and inevitably had a small plan, which made him take the adopted son into the scouts. He wanted to start from Huo Bao, but the result was not satisfactory.
Xue Biao thought about it carefully for a few days. Needless to say, the leader of the village and Du Laoba were Huo Wu's brothers, but also an old subordinate on the black python.
Deng Jian and Monk Feng both have their own direct descendants.
Deng Jian’s side is Qu Yang Bing, and Monk Feng’s side is Monk Bing.
When Shui Xing was around, he was mainly Yongyang's children. He seemed to be the weakest among the generals, but in fact it was not.
You should know that Yongyang, as the prefecture of Chuzhou, has the most gentry families. This is the place where the Chuzhou army makes its fortune, and many civil and military officials have been selected.
When Shui Jin was surrounded by military generals, he was also of the same origin as the civil servants in Yongyang.
Among the Chuzhou army, it was divided into civil and military affairs, and also into regions.
But Jinling...
Jinling was originally his territory!
The Jia family is the Xue family’s in-laws, the remaining historians, the Wang family…
I also had contacts with the Xue family in my early years.
Now, it is just a resumption of contact.
Xue Biao’s identity is here. If you really want to put down your airs and socialize, others will really not be able to refuse.
By the Chinese New Year, not only will the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family be improved, but the Shi family and the Wang family will also be in contact.
During the Chinese New Year, it was just a treat to guests for wine. When the Taiwei Mansion received news, the Xue family, the Shi family and the Wang family had already married.
Xue Biao proposed to marry the daughter of the Shi family for his adopted son Xue Xiao. Mr. Shi had no granddaughter of the right marriage age, so he made a niece.
Xue Biao's identity is here, and even if Mr. Shi is concerned about it, it is difficult to refuse.
However, the Wang family has no credit for the Jia and Shi families, but they are just taking advantage of the old Jinling family to camp in the Chuzhou army.
Although Xue Biao was not as good as the other powerful marshals in the Chuzhou army, he was already a "thick thigh" for the Wang family.
The Wang family was willing to give up their faces, so the head of the family directly sent his cousin to Xue Biao as a concubine.
Whether it was the adopted son's engagement or the joy of taking concubines, the Xue family had a drink.
Huo Bao followed his father for a while, and when the father and son moved, the other people from the generals' mansions were also moved.
The banquet at Xue's mansion seemed very decent.
Not to mention how happy the Wang family is, even Master Shi sees it, he also attaches more importance to the Xue family's in-laws.
However, because of these marriages, Huo Bao remembered the "Four Major Families".
He was also surprised before. Now that my father is in Nanjing, all the generals are there, why the "Four Major Families" emerge? Now he understands it.
The ancients had a homesickness, and this hometown was the hometown, not the place of life.
The generals are very powerful, but except for Monk Feng and Du Laoba, the others are from Chuzhou.
In addition to Chuzhou, most of the generals in the army were from Huainan.
Among the people born in Jinling, these families are revealed.
"Is it okay for Uncle Qi to do this?"
In private, Huo Bao talked to his father.
