Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

After not seeing each other for many years, the moment Yun Mo saw Xie Chong, he felt as if he was in another world.

When he was in Beijing, Xie Chong was one of the few friends he could get along with.

"Xie Chong, long time no see!" Yun Mo took the initiative to ride forward.

Xie Chong looked him up and down, "Long time no see, I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

"There must have been many people in Shangjing who wanted the Yun family dead back then! Don't you hate warriors the most? Why are you leading troops now? It seems that your official position is not low." Yun Mo raised the corner of his mouth into a nonchalant smile.

Xie Chong spread his hands and showed him his military uniform and armor.

"How about the General Jianwu appointed by His Majesty himself?"

Looking at the young man who once lived in luxury and was full of vigor and vitality, he is now sitting on a tall horse, his posture is as straight as a pine tree, his aura is as strong as the sun, his eyes are full of determination and sharpness, and he looks mature and steady.

Yun Mo nodded repeatedly, "It looks better than before!"

Hearing his praise again after so many years, Xie Chong felt extremely happy and satisfied.

After some pleasantries, the two finally got down to business.

"Who is this?" Xie Chong looked at Lin Yinan and asked Yun Mo puzzledly.

He couldn't understand why a woman was allowed to lead the army when Yun Mo was here.

Yun Mo raised his face and said with great pride: "She is my wife!"

"General Jianwu!" Lin Yinan nodded slightly at him.

Afterwards, both sides left some troops to clean up the battlefield. Xie Chong took Yun Mo and his wife into the city to discuss the next steps. When they left, he secretly gave Yun Mo a thumbs up.

The soldiers cleaned up a complete restaurant near the city gate.

As soon as they sat down, both sides had their confession.

Lin Yinan and Yun Mo also learned from him about the court's movements in the past two years.

The Wang family of Dongyue was plotting a rebellion under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials. When the emperor, who had been seriously ill for a long time, heard the news, he died of rage.

Just when the country was in turmoil and the people were living in poverty, Prince Zhao, who was personally appointed by the Supreme Emperor, stood up and no longer hid his cleverness.

Unable to bear watching the empire built by his ancestors being eroded bit by bit by the barbarians, Prince Zhao acted decisively.

Internally, he quickly eliminated the treacherous villains who controlled the government and took over the important responsibilities of the court; externally, he gathered troops and severely attacked the Wang family, headed by various aristocratic families, who intended to seize power and usurp the throne.

Wang's plan failed, and the Xie family, who followed the court to move the capital to Jiankang, was not implicated.

Years ago, the young emperor died of an acute cold.

The young emperor had not yet married and had no children. Under the earnest persuasion of court officials, Prince Zhao officially ascended the throne and became emperor.

A new emperor appoints his own ministers. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will certainly remove obstacles and promote his own confidants.

The Xie family was highly valued by the new emperor at this time. Xie Liang was the eldest son of the Xie family. He was promoted to Minister of Personnel by the new emperor.

At this point, the Xie family rose rapidly in the court and had become a new aristocracy that many court officials were vying to associate with.

Xie Chong is the nephew of Xie Liang. He grew up in Shangjing and became acquainted with Yun Mo.

"The court is in need of people right now. How about I write a letter to my uncle and explain this to him?"

"Absolutely not." Yun Mo declined.

Xie Chong was puzzled, "Why?"

Yun Mo said calmly, "The Yun family has taken refuge in the south and has not been involved in the affairs of the court. I hope General Jianwu will understand. Besides, it was not me who killed the 100,000-strong Hu army, but my wife Lin, General Lu of Cangwu County, and other noble families."

"Don't you care about the injustice of your grandfather, father and elder brother?" Xie Chong looked at his indifferent appearance and said angrily.

"Their lifelong contributions and loyalty to the court have been erased and ignored. I don't want to involve my second brother and a group of nephews. Now I am a farmer and I am satisfied with my three meals a day."

Yun Mo is no longer the enthusiastic young man.

Lin Yinan gave him an encouraging look, like a gentle spring breeze that warmed people's hearts. Yun Mo took her hand from under his sleeve and interlocked their fingers.

Xie Chong opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.

He knew very well that if the Yun family wanted to be valued by the court again, they would have to pave the way with their blood.

Seeing that the two were almost done talking, Lin Yinan took the initiative to say, "General Jianwu, why don't we talk about the things that need to be dealt with right now."

"This general would like to hear the details."

"I am the one who protected the people of the two prefectures in the South. The officials who will take office in the South must be my people, and we must take over the military government."

Xie Chong was so shocked by her words that he almost jumped up from his chair, "You, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to make wedding dresses for others!" Lin Yinan said, raised her cold eyes, and looked at him aggressively.

"That's something I need to think about." Xie Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Of course, if the Xie family can get some benefit from this, we will certainly not lose out on the benefits of your Xie family."

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yun Mo leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

Xie Chong's eyes widened in shock and he grabbed his hand tightly, "Is this true?!"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Yun Mo tried hard to pull his hand back, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the wound that had just healed and was torn by his scratching, and gave him a cold look.

Xie Chong was a little embarrassed, "Okay, okay, I will write a letter back to my uncle immediately."

Therefore, Pingdu and Linjiang counties were handed over to Xie Chong for management.

After a short rest, Lin Yinan and his wife led their team back to Nanzhou Prefecture early the next morning.

Jiankang, the capital.

When the Minister of Personnel Xie Liang received a letter from his nephew Xie Chong, he rushed to the palace to meet the emperor, not daring to delay for a moment.

In the study, Emperor Yongping looked at the letter in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

After pondering for a while, Xie Liang said uneasily: "Your Majesty, the Hu people have occupied the Central Plains of our Great Yan for a long time. Now the court is in need of people. I think the Yun family can be re-employed. The sons of the Yun family are all talented generals. If they lead the army, it will be just a matter of time to recover the Central Plains!"

"General Jianwu said in the letter that the Yun family only wants to live a stable life in seclusion and does not want to serve in the government again."

Emperor Yongping threw the letter on the table and continued, "The previous emperor was deeply hurt by the Yun family. It was a pity to lose such a good general. But Yun Sanlang was lucky to marry a good wife!"

Xie Liang blinked and said, "This woman is brave and resourceful in leading troops to fight. She was able to command the few soldiers in Nandi and Cangwu County in a short period of time to resist foreign enemies, wipe out 100,000 Hu soldiers in one fell swoop, and behead the Hu general He Xiong. She is simply as good as any man, a rare talent for generals and ministers!"

Emperor Yongping pondered for a moment and said, "The letter from Jianwu said that Sanlang Yun was captured and seriously injured while trying to protect the people in Nanzhou City?"

Xie Liang looked embarrassed and said with some difficulty: "It is said that the root of the offspring was damaged and he will not be able to have sex in the future."

"Oh? My dear, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Your Majesty is wise and cares about the people. His grace is spread all over the world..."
