I am engaged in construction in ancient times

Chapter 91 Barbecue

The men who went south to Yangzhou found it hard to understand the scholars who were rushing to Rongzhou. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the northern capital was occupied by the rebels, and a puppet emperor was created to cover up the situation. In fact, the puppet emperor was only in name only.

As for Rongzhou, it has now become Nie Kun's one-man show. His lackeys have been thinking about "following the dragon's merits" and showing off their power everywhere. As for the young emperor Qi Huabin, he has "died" of a serious illness. It is said that he has also made a will, asking Nie Kun to support the young master and make him the regent.

There are rumors that the young emperor was placed under house arrest by Nie Kun and later persecuted to death... They actually praised Nie Kun as a loyal minister.

"These scholars, have they become stupid from reading too much?"

Yue Tianlang and his companions were puzzled. Seven or eight of them looked at each other, shook their heads and continued to ride south. Yue Tianlang had served as a pioneer under Duan Shubai. After suppressing the rebellion of the Jinlian Party, he was rewarded for his merits and arranged to be a lieutenant in Jianing, Beidi.

Now that the Beidi is in turmoil, Yue Tianlang was captured and defected. He learned that his former good brothers followed General Duan to Yangzhou and established their own regime. After thinking about it, he decided to go there together. On the way south, he met many fellow travelers.

"You are going south too?"

"We can't stay in the north, so we are going to Yangzhou to seek refuge with General Duan."

"Why are you still traveling with your mother, wife and children..."

"Oh, they are not my family, but my brother's mother and wife. My brother is a disciple of General Duan in Yangzhou. He wrote a letter asking us to go to Yangzhou to live together. My brother said in the letter that Yangzhou is rich and stable, there is no war, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. Every household has new clothes to wear, they don't have to starve, and there are delicious food... In any case, it is better than staying in the north where you don't have to worry about the next day."

The scholars who went north with Xun Bai saw countless people going south, and they were puzzled, "Why are they all going to Yangzhou?"

The scholars were shaken.

Just going north like this, can they really do what they want?

The guards who were transporting the troops said, "We have good feng shui in Yangzhou, so we should go to Yangzhou."

Someone said stubbornly, "Bah, we are going to Rongzhou to serve the monarch, how can we be like them and be afraid of death?"

"You guys in Yangzhou eat these lousy sweet potatoes all day long, and you can't even choke people to death. How can you have a good life?"

Zong Zhonghai saw that some people in the crowd were wavering, and hurriedly encouraged them: "We are all a group of ambitious people. When we arrive in Rongzhou, we will definitely be valued by Lord Nie. Lord Nie is a man of great righteousness, and he will not be like the short-sighted Duan."

"Yes, yes, when we arrive in Rongzhou, we will have a good life."

Xun Bai, Zong Zhonghai and others were sent to Rongzhou, and Duan Shubai's people went back home. Xun Bai and others finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to eat sweet potatoes. What made them even happier was that as soon as they arrived in Rongzhou, they were warmly received by Rongzhou Regent Nie Kun.

"Welcome everyone to Rongzhou from afar." Nie Kun smiled from ear to ear. He sent people to Xuanzhou to start a war of words and slander Duan Shubai's reputation. This was the suggestion given to him by his advisers, but it really worked.
