The First Year of Xianhe

In June, lotus flowers filled the pond, red clothes and green fans reflected the clear waves.

In the pavilion of the Black Ink Pool, there was a young man wearing a light-colored robe. His hair was tied up with brocade. This young man's face was like smooth jade, and his phoenix eyes were full of power. He had a dignified appearance and a talented appearance.

There was a reddish-brown table in front of him. At this moment, the young man was bored and propped his head with his hands.

There was a plate of chopped cucumbers on the table. Beside him, a young maidservant in a red shirt held a green fan in her hand. She used bamboo chopsticks to pick up the cucumbers and send them into the youth's mouth. At the same time, she used the green fan to fan the youth. Occasionally, she would use the Ruyi on the table to scratch the youth's itch.

The lotus fragrance of the ink pool wafted, and the water vapor rose. A layer of mist appeared on the forehead of the red-dressed maidservant.

The summer afternoon was leisurely, but the young man was not interested. His face was slightly pale, and he looked like he had not recovered from an illness.

The red-robed maidservant and the guards and page boys behind Ying Ping were already used to it.

Ever since his young master accidentally fell into a clear stream a month ago and almost drowned, he seemed to have gone into hysteria. He was full of nonsense and even called a few doctors to diagnose him. All they said was that he was healthy. He only fell into the ink pool, got unlucky, and committed a crime. He could just eat vegetarian food for a few days.

After eating vegetarian food for a few days, his symptoms improved. Words like 'Ah You Krypton Listening Addiction',' Holy sh * t 'and' Holy f * ck 'that he didn't understand disappeared.

The familiar Langjun was back!

The young man sighed. There was not the slightest hint of happiness on his face.

The fourth year of Great Peace was also the first year of Xianhe. How could the youth not know what era he had arrived in?

In the sixteen kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, five countries invaded China. Xianbei and Jiehu killed the Han Dynasty and plundered Han women as sex slaves and food for marching troops.

This was an out-and-out chaotic world!

In 326 AD, which was the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aftermath of Wang Dun's rebellion was pacified last year. It had only been three years since Emperor Yuan passed away. Emperor Ming also passed away last year. The little emperor Sima Yan succeeded to the throne last year and changed three emperors in three years. The little emperor was only five years old now!

It was much better to be safe in Jiangzuo than in the north, where the dogs had their brains beaten out.

However…

The south was not a stable place either. The conflict between the northern aristocrats and the southern aristocrats was irreconcilable. The struggle between the imperial power and the aristocratic families was destined to make the Eastern Jin restless.

Moreover...

According to history, Zu Yue and Su Jun would start a rebellion next year…

Similar rebellions were common in the small Eastern Jin Dynasty. How could it be easy to settle them?

"The pool is damp and the water vapor is rising. Langjun hasn't recovered from his illness for a long time. It's better for you to go back to your room and rest."

The maid was dressed in red, her skin was as white as cream, her face was beautiful, and her buttocks were round and plump.

The maid Xixiang put down the fruit and looked at Zhao Yue with a worried expression.

As the saying goes, master and servant share honor and disgrace together. If her Langjun's body had any problems again, how could she, a personal maid, survive?

"Sister Xixiang is right. Langjun, let's go back to the house and study. Otherwise, the mistress will punish us again."

The errand boy, Zhao Zhong, bent over. His eyes were misty, and his appearance was so weak that it was even more charming than a woman's. It made Zhao Yue's entire body go numb.

Zhao Yue's sexual orientation was very normal. He might have some feelings for Xixiang, but when he looked at the errand boy, Zhao Zhong, his heart instantly became sick.

"Forget it, forget it."

Zhao Yue stood up and patted the dust off his body. Zhao Zhong and Xixiang quickly went forward to smooth out the wrinkles on his body.

Zhao Yue was wearing a moon-white robe with large sleeves and a wide belt. His body was thin, like a willow branch sprouting in spring. He looked extremely elegant, but in fact, he was weak.

As a person who liked to exercise, Zhao Yue was very dissatisfied with his current figure. In addition, it was chaotic times now. If he did not have a strong physique and a set of skills, how could he do it?

He definitely had to learn how to fight ten thousand people, but he also had to master how to fight one person.

Zhao Yue was in his manor in Jiankang. There were earth hills, fishing platforms, curved marshes, flying beams, and heavy pavilions in the garden. There were hundreds of servants serving him, and there were also hundreds of guards.

Although it was called a manor, it could also be called a fort.

He walked from the Black Pool to the backyard. There were mountains, deep streams, caves, tall mountains, huge trees, hanging wormwood, rugged stone roads, and winding streams. The scenery was natural.

It took them ten minutes to leave the backyard, which showed how luxurious the manor was.

Zhao Yue was born in the Zhao family of Tianshui. His father, Zhao Xun, was from the north. In other words, he was a refugee commander.

He had thousands of troops under him and tens of thousands of refugees along the way. In addition, Zhao Xun was from an aristocratic family!

Although the Zhao family of Tianshui was not considered a top-notch family, it was above average. Zhao Xun held military power and was also quite accomplished in classics and metaphysics. Therefore, he was appointed as the general of bandits and the governor of Youzhou.

The Dangkou General was a real position, while the Youzhou Provincial Governor only received an extra salary.

After all, Youzhou was actually in the north. Although it was an overseas state, it was only a name and did not have any actual territory.

The camp was located beside the Huai River. The Huai River was the first line of defense for the southern side against the northern side. Especially after the rebellion of Wang Dun, the northern side was somewhat restless.

In April of the summer, Schleswig sent his general Shi Sheng to invade Runan, and Shi Sheng captured Runan's internal history Zuji.

Earlier this year, it was said that the Later Zhao Schleswig Army had invaded Fuling. Sima Yan issued an edict to add Wang Dao as the Great Sima, fake Huang Yue, and sent troops to crusade. The Jin army stopped in Jiangning, and Sima Yan personally gave them a farewell dinner in the suburbs.

Soon after, the Zhao army retreated, and Wang Dao was relieved of his post as commander.

However, the situation in Huainan was still tense. Zhao Yue's father had also left to guard Huainan a few months ago.

As for why the people from the north were so rich to be able to buy such a luxurious manor by the clear stream.

There was naturally a reason for this.

Firstly, because the people who returned to the north had not registered, they did not need to pay taxes.

Secondly, Zhao Xun was the commander of the refugees. The refugees he brought from the north were not only soldiers, but also tenants. Although there were not tens of thousands of them, there were thousands of them.

Thirdly, Zhao Xun married the daughter of the Zhou family of Yixing, a powerful family in Jiangzuo, and received financial support from them.

Although the Zhou family of Yixing had almost lost their political influence due to the two rebellions, as the Wuzong of Jiangzuo, they had no lack of money, goods, servants, etc.

No matter what era it was, as long as one had an army, one would always be able to do well. Zhao Yue's cheap father, Zhao Xun, was an example.

Just as he was thinking about this, the door to the backyard was right in front of him.

The houses in the backyard were orderly. Just a few steps into the backyard's gate and before he could see anyone, a loud voice sounded.

"Young man, you haven't recovered from your illness. Why have you gone to the Black Ink Pool to admire the scenery so many times? If I fall into the water again, how am I going to explain it to the marshal?"

When Zhao Zhong heard this voice, he quickly hid behind Zhao Yue. Although Xiangxiang did not do anything unnecessary, she could not help but clear her throat and take a step closer to Zhao Yue.

"Uncle Tian, my body is fine now."

Looking at the tower-like man in front of him, Zhao Yue felt a little helpless.

"That's not what those doctors said."

Seven Fields was more than eight feet tall. His entire body was filled with muscles. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. He had the appearance of a fierce man. In addition, he was blind in his left eye and wore a black eyepatch. He looked even more terrifying.

However, Zhao Yue didn't feel the slightest fear or estrangement towards the person in front of him.

In Zhao Yue's memories of this era, Seven Fields was an elder he could entrust his life to.

And in Zhao Yue's eyes, Tian Qi's figure could be said to be…Top of the top!

"Mistress has already returned from her maiden home. She saw that you weren't in the inner room and panicked. Quickly go and pay her respects."

Mother is back?

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment before he nodded lightly.

"Since mother has returned, I will naturally pay my respects to her. However, Uncle Tian, how is the matter I instructed you to do?"

As a liberal arts student, he didn't have the ability to invent and create, but learning was an instinct in Zhao Yue's soul.

Especially in this chaotic world, the more skills you mastered, the more hope you had of surviving.

When the time comes, the books will be scarce. At the critical moment, the ability you master might be able to save your life!

"If you want to find a teacher to learn spear techniques, saber techniques, and horsemanship, I can teach you that. You don't need to trouble others. As for the size of the camp, battle formations, and military strategies, the marshal asked Li Canjun to come back and be your teacher. Li Canjun will probably be back in a few days."

Spear techniques, saber techniques, horsemanship…

In this chaotic world, this could only be considered the most basic skill. It was like the rice bowl in your hand. It was a skill that you had to master!

As for the military camp, the battle strategy was the foundation and prerequisite to improve one's ability to lead troops in battle.

As a transmigrator, Zhao Yue did not think too highly of himself. In fact, those who could make a difference in troubled times and record in history books were all dragons and phoenixes among men. At the very least, they had some redeeming qualities.

Although he had five thousand years of cultural heritage and a deep accumulation of knowledge from the later generations, what was the use in this chaotic world?

Political power came from guns!

To forge iron, one must be hard!

In this chaotic world, if he did not have the ability and did not have the military power in his hands, how could he do it?
